Guilty verdict in knife death

Controversy surrounds plan for historic aviation campus

Encarnacion “EJ” Salas IV claimed he acted in self defense during an incident that led to the fatal stabbing of Jesus “Jesse” Cardenas Lopez.

By Scott North Herald Writer

EVERETT — A Lynnwood man is looking at more than 20 years in prison after being convicted of murder Monday in a fatal stabbing last fall.

A Snohomish County Superior Court jury found Encarnacion “EJ” Salas IV guilty of seconddegree murder with a knife.

Salas, 24, had faced trial on the more serious charge of firstdegree murder. Prosecutors said the killing was premeditated, but Salas’ attorney maintained the defendant acted in self defense.

Sentencing is scheduled Thursday.

Salas was charged after the Oct. 24, 2014, death of Jesus “Jesse” Cardenas Lopez, 34. Jurors heard differing stories about the violence.

Prosecutors said Salas attacked Cardenas Lopez in anger over the victim’s wish for their relationship to become more intimate. Salas maintained he was wounded fighting off the victim’s advances.

The killing occurred in front of Cardenas Lopez’s mother in a home she shared with her son near Lynnwood.

“Mom, help me, I’m dying,” the victim reportedly said. She pulled on the defendant’s ears and nose trying to reach her son.

Salas eventually climbed off

Historic Flight Foundation mechanic Ben Olson replaces a cowling on a C-47/DC-3 on Oct. 15. The foundation’s aircraft collector, John Sessions, wants to expand on the west side of Paine Field near the berm (in the background underneath the aircraft) and along the runway at the airport.

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

EVERETT — Snohomish County leaders must soon decide a contentious issue at Paine Field.

This time, it has nothing to do with commercial passenger flights, but whether land on the west side of the county-run airport is better suited for corporate jets or for historic aviation attractions on a grand scale.

John Sessions has been asking the county to join in his vision for a historic aviation campus.

Nearly two years later, he’s still waiting for a commitment.

“Pretty soon, we’d be well served to call the question and decide,” Sessions told County Council members Monday.

See VERDICT, Page A4

He offered a rebuttal to concerns that airport staff have raised about his plans. The aircraft collector called in an economist and the Federal Aviation Administration’s former chief legal counsel to help make his case during a special meeting.

The County Council in late 2013 agreed to give Sessions six months to develop a plan. He delivered a proposal in mid2014, but things remain in limbo.

The historic aviation campus would expand on Sessions’ Historic Flight Foundation museum on Bernie Webber Drive.

For the plan to work, the county would need to lease the historic flight team the land for free or a substantially reduced rate. Sessions has said that

the county could make up the money it would forgo through an admissions tax.

Councilman Brian Sullivan supports Sessions’ plan. Sullivan hopes to bring it to a vote soon, but isn’t sure when. Monday’s meeting, he said, was intended to give his colleagues facts to make an informed decision.

Airport administrators were not invited to speak.

“Quite honestly, we’re not getting the straight story from the airport staff,” Sullivan said.

Sullivan earlier this month accused airport staff of meddling in policy by presenting with little advance notice a study critical of Sessions’ plan.

Airport Director Arif Ghouse wrote an apology to council members two days later, saying

he misunderstood the purpose of the earlier meeting. He said he had presented a draft economic study that should have been reviewed by Executive John Lovick’s administration and others.

Ghouse has said the county risks losing out on FAA grants if it leases land at sub-market rates. He said Sessions’ proposal could jeopardize the airport’s relationship with other attractions, which pay standard rents.

Ghouse also said there’s competing interest for the same land from companies that want to build corporate jet hangars.

Earlier, he had called the Sessions plan a “really bad proposal” for the airport.

Associated Press NEW YORK — Where did dogs first arrive on the scene? Scientists have long debated that question, and now a study of doggie DNA from around the world is pointing to Central Asia.

Previous studies have suggested southern China, the Middle East, Siberia and Europe as the place where our first domesticated animal arose from wolves at least 15,000 years ago.

For the new work, Adam Boyko of Cornell University and others analyzed DNA from 549 dogs that represented 38 countries in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, India, the Middle East and islands north and east of Australia. The animals weren’t house pets, but rather “village dogs” that wandered freely in the streets or fields.

The researchers examined the DNA for signals

of where the dogs had the most ancient roots. That pointed to Central Asia.

The analysis did not tackle the contentious question of when dogs appeared.

Results were reported in a paper released Monday by the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Even Boyko doesn’t think the work will end the debate among scientists.

“I’m not pretending my study alone is enough to rally the community together,” he said.

He’s right. Robert Wayne of the University of California, Los Angeles, who proposed a European origin for dogs in 2013 based on analysis of ancient DNA, said he didn’t buy the conclusion about Central Asia. In an email, he questioned Boyko’s use of modern-day genetic material as a guide to the distant past.

Sessions and his team responded Monday.

They said there’s little demand to house more corporate jets at Paine Field.

FAA figures show 11 stationed there, where there are already 21 hangars.

An economist work working for Sessions said the airport’s study overstated benefits from serving corporate jets. There’s also space to do both.

“It has presented the county with a false choice — it’s not an either-or decision,” said Michael Wilkerson from ECONorthwest.

Still, doubts seem to have stuck.

Council Chairman Dave Somers has said he has questions about the business case and that he’s getting mixed messages about the FAA’s position on grants.

An attorney also spoke Monday to draw attention to a lawsuit involving the contentious relationship between Historic Flight Foundation and a corporate jet hangar next door.

Everett Hangar is a subsidiary of a large Kirk Kirkland-based apartment property management firm called Weidner Investment Services, which has holdings in several U.S. states and Canadian provinces.

It has leased the land next door to Historic Flight Foundation since 2008 and bases two corporate jets there.

In a lawsuit filed in Snohomish County Superior Court in 2014, Everett Hangar alleges that Historic Flight has impinged on its right to use a taxiway by parking aircraft there.

The hangar company also accuses the museum of creating security risks by failing to prevent festival patrons from wandering through its property or onto airport runways.

“Our concern is that the proposed campus has the same potential for operational and safety problems that the Historic Flight Foundation has had and continues to have,” said attorney Warren Rheaume from the Seattle law firm Davis Wright Tremaine.

Everett Hangar won an injunction and $860,000 judgment after a bench

trial earlier this year. That outcome is under appeal.

Sessions called the lawsuit a separate issue from the proposed aviation campus.

Plans for the project call for five new buildings averaging 30,000 square feet along taxiway Kilo 7. Sessions, who works in real estate development, said he would like to start construction on the first building in 2017 and then complete about one per year until the project is built out.

There would be space for new museums, as well as restoration shops and perhaps an educational center.

Existing tourist attractions at the airport include the Future of Flight and Boeing Tour, Paul Allen’s Flying Heritage Collection and Museum of Flight Restoration Center.

Family: Father ‘strange’ before shooting A Tulalip man was said to be ranting about saving the world before allegedly shooting his son.

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — It was supposed to be a nice family gathering at the Tulalip home Friday evening.

The group included a

64-year-old man, his wife of 42 years, their two grown sons and a family friend.

The night ended in tragedy with the Tulalip man booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of first-degree assault and one of his sons clinging to life after being shot in the abdomen.

Those at the home that night told Snohomish County sheriff’s investigators the father had been acting strange lately. His wife expressed concern that he could

be suffering from some kind of undiagnosed mental illness.

There reportedly were no drugs or any alcohol involved.

The shooting occurred in the 2800 block of 72nd Street NE Friday night. Dispatchers around 10 p.m. received a 911 call describing possible domestic violence and reports of shots fired.

When deputies arrived, they found the victim, 30, on a couch with a gunshot wound. He was transported to Providence

Regional Medical Center Everett and later to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where he was listed in critical condition Monday afternoon. His wounds were described in a police report “as grave and life threatening.”

The day before the shooting, the dad was “happy and excited” by the thought of a family gathering, his wife told detectives.

The following night, he acted odd and seemed despondent and began making religious

statements about saving the world, which was out of character, witnesses told police.

One of the sons tried to question him about his behavior and was told to leave, which he did.

As the husband and wife washed dishes in the kitchen, he continued to rant about saving the world. In their bedroom later, they embraced and talked about the events of the night, according See SHOOTING, Page A5

$3.5M renovation for Lynnwood playfields

By Rikki King Herald Writer

LYNNWOOD — The city of Lynnwood plans to renovate the Meadowdale Playfields along 66th Avenue W. The two soccer fields will get artificial turf, as will three infields in the softball diamonds.

The project is expected to cost about $3.5 million, with construction anticipated next year, said Lynn Sordel, the city parks director.

The Edmonds School District owns the 27-acre property, which is maintained and managed by the city of Lynnwood

through a long-term contract.

The city of Edmonds also has rights to use the fields.

The soccer fields will be designed to also accommodate lacrosse, football and rugby, Sordel said. Soccer and lacrosse have been growing in popularity for boys and girls in recent years, he said. The softball fields are used by youth and adult community leagues.

The soccer fields are a mix of clay and sand. They’re muddy in the winter and rock-hard in the summer.

“The sand-clay surfaces are just not conducive for good quality play in our climate,”

Sordel said.

For now, the fields can’t be used for high-school competitions because of the problems, according to the school district.

More school use is expected after the changes.

So far, $1 million for the project will come from an existing school district bond, with $1 million from Lynnwood’s capital facilities budget. Since August, the city also has received $750,000 in two state grants for the project, Sordel said.

The work will focus on about 5 acres of the site, which has been in use since the mid-1980s. The school district has rights to the

fields during the school day, with youth and adult community sports leagues and tournaments typically scheduled in the evenings and on weekends.

The fields already have lighting, parking, bathrooms and concession stands, Sordel said.

Since the closure of the old Lynnwood High School, Meadowdale provides the largest public athletic area in the city.

“A facility like the playfields is just screaming to be updated and renovated because the community would be using those spaces year-round,” he said.

SULTAN — This is a gut-check election for voters as they consider the future direction they desire for the city.

The Sultan mayor and two City Council members are seeking re-election to maintain an approach they say has led to balanced budgets and less crime and made Sultan attractive for new businesses.

But an alliance of challengers is trying to wrest control of City Hall by unseating the incumbents, who they say fail to spend tax dollars wisely or heed concerns of residents. Among the challengers are a former councilwoman and two men who tried to dissolve the city and are now suing it.

Mayor Carolyn Eslick, who is seeking a third term, faces the challenge of Ray George, a firsttime candidate but longtime civic watchdog.

Councilman Joe Neigel is running against Al Wirta and Councilman Jeffrey Beeler is opposed by Kay George, the former council member who is married to Ray George.

Newcomer Russell Wiita is battling the alliance’s fourth member, Bart Dalmasso, to fill the open seat created by Sarah Davenport Smith’s decision not to run again.

“This is a pivotal election for our community,” Neigel said.

“This group believes in cannibalizing an already lean city staff in the name of small government, without consideration of the unintended consequences of their actions.”

Not so, Dalmasso said.

“If the Georges and Al and I get elected we can make it better for the people who live here,” Dalmasso said. “We don’t agree on everything. We agree the costs of our local government are too high.”

Mulch fire extinguished BOTHELL — Firefighters on Monday declared victory in their lengthy battle with a stubborn fire in a pile of mulch.

The fire started Oct. 10 in a pile of mulch and debris

at Fruhling Sand and Topsoil in the 1000 block of 228th Street SW. Smoke and ash from the fire temporarily forced closure of the road.

Bothell firefighters spent six days working to extinguish the flames.

“The pile was complex to combat, due to its

size and temperature. On Friday, firefighters were able to start separating the burning materials to cool and extinguish the debris,” Kirsten Clemens, a fire department spokeswoman, said in a press release.

Crews remained on scene through the weekend to make sure their efforts were successful.

The money will be used to supplement existing programs for high and middle school students, said Everett Public Schools spokeswoman Mary Waggoner.

station KTVA reported that Ken Felber has been a pizza delivery driver for 14 years. When he delivered a pizza to Chugach Covenant Church on Sunday, the pastor asked him what was his best-ever tip.

When he replied $100, pastor Dan Krause asked

him, “How does a tip of $1,900 sound?”

Felber was very mindful of his heavenly surroundings and replied: “Oh, heck no!” He said it’s the coolest thing that’s ever happened to him.

Krause said this was an opportunity to do

something small that would really have a big impact on somebody’s life.

Felber has no plans to splurge since he needs new snow tires and has medical expenses. But he does plan to take his wife out for a good spaghetti dinner.

“We’ve got a plethora of Mission-style buildings throughout the community, some of which dates back to before the first World War,” Dilgard said.

“That’s not one of them,” he said.

The building has an assessed valuation of $1.3 million, according to the

Snohomish County Assessor’s Office.

When the city moved into the building in 1991, it did a complete interior remodel, so there’s nothing left of the original interior, Carter said.

She added that she wasn’t sure what shape the building was in even then.

Any decision on a future sale of the building would have to come from the city’s real estate office, but at the moment there isn’t any forward movement on a deal, Carter said.

Detectives tracked him down the next day. He reportedly was hiding in the

Salas was found with a deep cut to his right forearm. When taken to an area hospital before being

booked into jail, Salas claimed the wound came from an encounter with a tree, or perhaps some barbed wire.

When the nurse asked more questions, he laughed and said, “I killed someone,” according to court papers.

In closing arguments, lawyers focused attention on Salas’ wound. Deputy prosecutor Cindy Larsen said Salas cut himself after fleeing the scene. Defense attorney Paul Thompson said the cut was from Cardenas Lopez, who he said had wielded the knife at the start of the fight.

He said he hadn’t planned on running but didn’t think the mayor “should walk into a third term unchallenged.”

Among his biggest disagreements with the mayor is on the city’s decision to construct a new bridge over the Sultan River to improve access for bicyclists and pedestrians.

George contended the city should not have paid for engineering and design until it secured the funds for construction.

“It would be a wonderful asset to have but there’s no money to build it,” he said.

“This was a big issue that was handled very poorly.”

Eslick countered that while it wasn’t one of her priorities before it’s become a necessity for the city because it will provide better emergency access across the river, a safer path for pedestrians and enable expansion of water and sewer services to residents.

Position 4 ■ Dalmasso, 75, is making his fourth bid for a council seat including competing as a writein two years ago. Wiita, 21, is making his first bid for elected Bart Dalmasso office.

Dalmasso, a real estate appraiser, said he wants to rein in spending, promote commercial development and reconsider privatizing garbage collection services. The City Council rejected the idea several years ago.

He led a failed effort in 2010 to disincorporate Sultan when a group he formed, Independent Citizens Acting Now, did not get enough signatures to get on the ballot.

And he and Wiita are

“We believe by having the best training possible, more people will want to come to Gold Bar and work in that part-time, volunteer-type environment,” he said.

The second part of the bond is to add sleeping quarters at Fire Station 53, at 501 Lewis Ave, in Gold Bar. “We want to be able to staff that station at night in the future, because our call loads are increasing,” Andrews said. “Right now

When she asked him if she should call 911, he reportedly became enraged and told her she needed to get out of the house by the morning. Given his erratic behavior, she began packing to leave that night.

Position 5 ■ Neigel, 39, who joined the City Council in 2010, is seeking his second full four-year term. He is a substance abuse prevention specialist working with Joe Neigel Monroe public schools.

He said he wants the city government to “live within its means” and is proud Sultan’s reduced debt resulted in a high credit rating.

Improving community safety and preserving the city’s infrastructure are two other issues he said he wants to focus on. Neigel opposes contracting out garbage collection and recycling services.

“I seriously considered the merits when the idea was brought before the council,” he said. “In the end, the consequences of privatizing far outweighed the benefits.”

■ Wirta, 69, is making his first bid for office, owns a high end architectural metal fabricating shop that’s operated in Sultan for 32 years.

He said Al Wirta he decided to run to bring more fiscal responsibility to the council decisions.

And he said the lawsuit

pretty much everything at night comes from the other station.” The third piece of the bond would replace a 1996 fire engine.

Meanwhile, the North County Regional Fire Authority wants to make permanent its current medical services levy, which collects about 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed value.

The levy draws an estimated $935,880 a year. The majority of the district’s calls are for medical emergencies, not fires.

“The EMS levy stabilizes funding for our most widely used service,” Fire Chief John Cermak said.

He’s proud of several city accomplishments in his tenure such as helping rebuild the Boys & Girls Club facility, upgrading the sewer plant and completing the south leg of Sultan Basin Road to improve access to the business park and the Skywall Drive area.

And as a member of the U.S. Highway 2 Safety Coalition, he said he’s worked to secure money for safety improvements.

Beeler did oppose privatizing garbage collection while his opponent, Kay George, likes the idea.

■ George, 56, was elected to the City Council in 2011 to complete an unexpired term then lost her bid for a full term in 2013 by four votes. She is the owner Kay George and designated broker of INOV8 Real Estate in Sultan.

A focal point of her campaign is taking stronger action against criminal offenders who repeatedly commit misdemeanors. She said the city needs its own prosecutor to handle those cases which the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office doesn’t pursue aggressively enough.

Like her husband, she said she’d been unhappy with many of the council decisions and decided to run because she didn’t think the incumbent should go unchallenged.

change will help the district serve a growing community with an aging population, Cermak said. The revenue goes toward medical staffing and equipment, including new, potentially life-saving technologies.

Each time they run a sixyear levy, it costs up to $22,500 just for the election costs, he said.

State’s computers were at risk Audits released by White House show department security lacking

By Ken Dilanian Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton has come under fierce criticism for doing business over personal email while secretary of state, putting sensitive data at risk of being hacked. But her communications may not have been any more secure had she used a State Department email address, judging by years of independent audits that excoriated the department over poor cybersecurity on Clinton’s watch.

The State Department’s unclassified email system was breached by hackers linked to Russia last year who stole an unspecified number of emails. The hackers hit a department that was among the worst agencies in the federal government at protecting its computer networks while Clinton was secretary from 2009 to 2013, a situation that continued to deteriorate as John Kerry took office, according to independent audits and interviews.

The State Department’s compliance with federal cybersecurity standards was below average when Clinton took over but grew worse in each year of her tenure, according to an annual report card compiled by the White House based on audits by agency watchdogs. Network security continued to slip after Kerry replaced Clinton in February 2013, and remains substandard, according to the State Department inspector general.

In each year from 2011 to 2014, the State Department’s

Hillary Rodham Clinton speaks during a meeting of the Alabama Democratic Conference in Hoover on Saturday. A White House report says the State Department’s compliance with federal cybersecurity standards was below average when Clinton took over but grew worse in each year of her tenure.

poor cybersecurity was identified by the inspector general as a “significant deficiency” that put the department’s information at risk. The latest assessment is due to be published in a few weeks.

Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, has apologized for her use of a private email server for official business while she was secretary of state. The FBI is investigating whether her home server was breached.

State Department officials don’t dispute the compliance shortcomings identified in years of internal audits, but argue that the audits paint a distorted picture of their cybersecurity, which they depict as solid and improving. They strongly disagree with the White House ranking that puts them behind most other government agencies.

Senior department officials in

charge of cybersecurity would speak only on condition of anonymity.

“We have a strong cybersecurity program, successfully defeating almost 100 percent of the 4 billion attempted intrusions we experience each year,” spokesman Mark Toner said.

Two successive inspectors general haven’t seen it that way. In December 2013, IG Steve Linick issued a “management alert” warning top State officials that their repeated failure to correct cybersecurity holes was putting the department’s data at risk.

Based on an audit by Linick, State scored a 42 out of 100 on the federal government’s latest cybersecurity report card, earning far lower marks than the Office of Personnel Management, which suffered a devastating breach last year. State’s scores bested only the Department of Health

and Human Services and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. State Department officials complain the grades are subjective.

The hack from Russia was so deep that State’s email system had to be cut off from the Internet in March while experts worked to eliminate the infestation.

Clinton approved significant increases in the State Department’ information technology budgets while she was secretary, but senior State Department officials say she did not spend much time on the department’s cyber vulnerabilities. Her emails show she was aware of State’s technological shortcomings, but was focused more on diplomacy.

Clinton’s campaign staff did not respond to repeated and detailed requests for comment.

Emails released by the State Department from her private server show Clinton and her top aides viewed the department’s information technology systems as substandard and worked to avoid them.

Under Clinton and Kerry, the State Department’s networks were a ripe target for foreign intelligence services, current and former government officials say, echoing the situation at OPM, which last year saw sensitive personnel data on 21 million people stolen by hackers linked to China.

The Russian hackers who broke into State’s email system also infiltrated networks at the Defense Department and the White House, officials say, and no clear line can be drawn between their success and State’s dismal security record.

Hacker claims to have breached CIA chief’s email

By Ken Dilanian Associated Press

WASHINGTON — An anonymous hacker claims to have breached CIA Director John Brennan’s personal email account and has posted documents online, including a list of email addresses purportedly from Brennan’s contact file.

The CIA said it referred the matter to the proper authorities, but would not comment further.

The hacker spoke to the New York Post, which described him in an article published Sunday as “a stoner high

school student,” motivated by his opposition to U.S. foreign policy and support for Palestinians. His Twitter account, (at) phphax, includes links to files that he says are Brennan’s contact list, a log of phone calls by then-CIA deputy director Avril Haines, and other documents.

The Post said he didn’t reveal his name or where he lived.

The hacker also claimed to have breached a Comcast account belonging to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, and released what appeared to be personal information.

One document purporting

to come from Brennan’s AOL email account contains a spreadsheet of people, including senior intelligence officials, along with their Social Security numbers, although the hacker redacted the numbers in the version he posted on Twitter. It’s unclear why Brennan would have stored such a document in his private email account. Based on the titles, the document appears to date from 2009 or before.

When people visit the White House and other secure facilities, they are required to supply their Social Security numbers.

Brennan could have been

forwarding a list of invitees to the White House when he was President Barack Obama’s counter terrorism adviser, the job he held before he became CIA director in 2013.

The hacker told the Post he had obtained a 47-page version of Brennan’s application for a security clearance, known as an SF86.

That document — millions of which were stolen from the federal personnel office last year by hackers linked to China — contains detailed information about past jobs, foreign contacts, finances and other sensitive personal details.

Drone owners face federal registration

By Joan Lowy Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Concerned about rising reports of close calls and safety risks involving drones, the government announced Monday it will require many of the increasingly popular unmanned aircraft to be registered.

Pilot sightings of drones have doubled since last year, including near manned airplanes and at major sporting events, and there are reports of interference with wildfire-fighting operations, Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said at a news conference.

“These reports signal a troubling trend,” said Federal Aviation Administration chief Michel Huerta. Registration will increase pressure on drone operators to fly responsibly, he said, adding, “When they don’t fly safely, they’ll know there will be consequences.”

The FAA now receives about 100 reports a month from pilots who say they’ve seen drones flying near planes and airports, compared with only a few sightings per month last year. So far there have been no accidents, but agency officials have said they’re concerned that a drone weighing only a

few pounds might cause serious damage if it is sucked into an engine or smashes into an airliner’s windshield.

Toys and small drones that don’t present a safety threat are likely to be exempt from the requirement. Drones that weigh only a pound or two or that can’t fly higher than a few hundred feet are considered less risky, but heavier ones and those that can fly thousands of feet pose more of a problem.

The FAA and the Transportation Department are setting up a task force including government and industry officials, pilots and hobbyists. They’ll

recommend which drones should be required to register.

It’s hard to identify drones seen operating illegally near airports and planes or over crowds, and registration by itself won’t change that. But it would allow the FAA to identify drones when they can be recovered after landing or crashing, a common occurrence.

Earlier this year, drones operated illegally crashed on the White House lawn and at a New York stadium. In both cases the drone operators came forward. But if they hadn’t, the government would have had no way to identify

them.

There’s no official count of how many drones have been sold in the U.S., but industry officials say it is in the hundreds of thousands and will easily pass a million by the end of the year.

Foxx said he has directed the task force to deliver its report by Nov. 20 and hopes to have registration requirements in place by mid-December. The timeline is tight, but the urgency of the problem demands swift action, he said.

The Consumer Electronics Association predicts that 700,000 drones will be sold this holiday season.

Daniel Castro, vice president at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, urged the government not to “rush into new rules that could have unintended consequences down the line.”

Regulations devised by the task force “will have long-term implications for free speech, privacy and the commercial development and deployment of this nascent technology,” he said in a statement.

Foxx was vague when asked about the FAA’s authority to require registrations, especially on an expedited basis that will provide little if any opportunity for public comment first.

ACROSS THE U.S.

Sanders planning speech on ideology OSKALOOSA, Iowa — Bernie Sanders is planning a “major speech” on democratic socialism, the political and economic ideology he embraces in his campaign for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.

Sanders said he wants to do it “fairly soon” but hasn’t picked a date.

Sanders often speaks about the expansive social programs of some European democracies and economic systems that check the wealth of the richest people as a model for the U.S. His campaign is centered on calls for billions more in social spending and higher taxes on the rich.

Ohio: Executions delayed Ohio is putting off executions until at least 2017 as the state struggles to obtain supplies of lethal injection drugs, the prisons department said Monday.

Twelve inmates scheduled to die were given warrants of reprieve by Gov. John Kasich. Ohio has run out of supplies of its previous drugs and has unsuccessfully sought new amounts.

Texas: Planned Parenthood Texas announced Monday it was cutting off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood clinics following undercover videos that featured discussions about fetal tissue. Texas health officials sent a letter to Planned Parenthood affiliates saying the clinics were potentially “liable, directly or by affiliation, for a series of serious Medicaid program violations” highlighted in the videos. The footage was released by a group that alleges Planned Parenthood illegally sold fetal tissue for profit. Also Monday, a federal judge ordered Louisiana to provide Medicaid funding for at least 14 more days to Planned Parenthood. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal ordered his state to block funding in the wake of the videos.

D.C.: Health care site With sign-up season starting in less than two weeks, the Obama administration indicated Monday that some long-awaited upgrades to the government’s health insurance website could take more time before they’re customerready. At issue is a new doctor look-up tool for HealthCare.gov, as well as another feature that would allow consumers to find out whether a particular health plan covers their prescription drugs. Up to now, digging out that information has required additional steps.

The insurance industry says ongoing testing uncovered some problems with accuracy.

AROUND THE WORLD Israel: Soul-searching The death of an Eritrean migrant who was shot and beaten by a mob that mistakenly believed he was a Palestinian attacker set off a round of soul-searching Monday amid the jittery atmosphere sweeping Israel in a wave of unrest. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the vigilantism.

Some critics accused Israel’s leaders of fostering the charged climate, while others called for the swift prosecution of the crazed mob. Nine Israelis have been killed in the past month. At least 41 Palestinians have been killed — including 20 identified by Israeli authorities as attackers; the rest were slain in clashes with Israeli forces.

Croatia: Migrants on move Thousands of people trying to reach the heart of Europe surged across Serbia’s border into Croatia on Monday after authorities eased restrictions that had left them stranded for days in ankledeep mud and rain. Monday’s surprise move allowed an estimated 3,000 more migrants to enter Croatia bound for Slovenia, which also has been struggling to slow the flow of humanity across its frontiers.

Canada: A new Trudeau Canadians voted for a sharp change in their government Monday, resoundingly ending Conservative Stephen Harper’s attempt to shift the nation to the right and returning a legendary name for liberals, Trudeau, to the prime minister’s office. Justin Trudeau, 43, the son of late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, became Canada’s new prime minister after his Liberal Party won a majority of Parliament’s 338 seats.

Amazon fights phony reviews

By Mae Anderson Associated Press

NEW YORK — Amazon is stepping up its fight against bogus product reviews on its site, suing more than 1,000 people for allegedly offering to post glowing write-ups for as little as $5 apiece.

The complaint, filed in state court in Seattle on Friday, takes aim at what is believed to be a burgeoning practice online: Some people try to make money by writing five-star testimonials about products they have never tried. And some companies try to boost sales by commissioning such reviews.

Online shoppers are relying more and more on consumer reviews on everything from restaurant meals to hotel rooms and iPhone cases. About 45 percent of consumers consider product reviews when weighing an online purchase, according to Forrester Research.

Retailers have tried to crack down on paid-for bogus reviews.

Other sites that depend on customer-generated reviews, including Yelp and TripAdvisor, use computer algorithms and teams of investigators to detect fraudulent write-ups.

In April, Amazon, the nation’s largest online retailer, sued

several sites that offered to produce positive reviews. In the latest lawsuit, the company is going after writers of the reviews themselves who have accounts on freelance marketplace Fiverr. com. The writers promise fivestar reviews to companies that sell products on Amazon.com, according to the complaint. In many cases, the writers ask the sellers themselves to write the review, and then put their name on it, the lawsuit alleges.

Anyone who buys something off Amazon is considered a verified customer and can write an online review about the product.

That’s one way Amazon tries to

guard against bogus reviews.

In at least one instance, however, a would-be reviewer offered to receive an empty envelope from a seller to make it look as if the person had actually bought the product, the lawsuit said.

The defendants in the lawsuit are identified only by their online handles because Amazon is still working to determine their real names.

The Seattle company is suing for unspecified damages and an order forcing the users to stop writing fake reviews. It said the offenders are liable for breach of contract for violating Amazon’s terms of service.

SEATTLE — A Delaware bankruptcy court Monday approved Haggen’s plan to auction off the bulk of its stores in early November.

Haggen, based in Bellingham, agreed to sell 36 stores to Gelson’s Market and to Smart & Final in two “stalking horse” deals, designed to set a baseline price for the auction.

The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union had objected to the plan last week, in part because Smart & Final, which operates no-frills warehouses in southern California, does not have a collective bargaining agreement with the union’s local affiliates. Others, including potential landlords, also filed objections with the court.

But Bankruptcy Court Judge Kevin Gross ruled that there had been “good and sufficient notice” of the plan, and that the stalking horse deals represent the “highest or best offer” found by Haggen for these stores. The auction will take place Nov. 9.

eople are so desperate to get out of debt that they will believe anything and anyone promising relief. They often turn to debt-relief companies that promote plans that supposedly can solve their problems.

But for many, not only does the relief not come but the steep cost of the plans — sometimes thousands of dollars — can dig them

The deal already is paying off: Weight Watchers shares doubled after the partnership was announced, earning Winfrey more than $40 million on paper.

Winfrey will use the Weight Watchers mobile app and work with a personal coach, the company said. She also has agreed to let Weight Watchers use her name, image and likeness for its products and services. Additionally, she will make appearances on the company’s behalf.

“Weight Watchers has given

me the tools to begin to make the lasting shift that I and so many of us who are struggling with weight have longed for,” Winfrey said in a statement. “I believe in the program so much I decided to invest in the company and partner in its evolution.”

EVERETT — BECU employees are closing shop for much of Tuesday and heading to high schools to talk about money with students.

The credit union’s branches, including six in Snohomish County, will reopen after 1 p.m. Tuesday.

More than 1,300 BECU employees are expected to visit 22 high schools, including Cascade in Everett, Heritage in Marysville and Jackson in Mill Creek.

Credit union staff will host financial reality fairs to introduce participating teens to creating and managing budgets and making real-world decisions about money.

“We want to make sure that the teens in our community understand personal finances and are prepared as they enter the next stage of their lives,” BECU CEO Benson Porter said in a press release from the notfor-profit credit union.

During the fairs, BECU workers will assign jobs and incomes to students, who then will have to balance their household budgets. They will have to consider paying for transportation, clothing, cell phones, food and other expenses. BECU expects more than 3,000 students to take part.

The event, called Closing for Good, is part of BECU’s celebration of its 80th anniversary.

A handful of Boeing workers started the credit union on Dec. 7, 1935. It became known as Boeing Employees Credit Union. It is one of the largest private credit unions in the country, with more than 900,000 members, including 190,000 in Snohomish County, and $13 billion in assets.

Chinese hacking attempts on American corporate intellectual property have occurred with regularity over the past three weeks, suggesting that China almost immediately began violating its newly minted cyberagreement with the United States, according to a new analysis by a cybersecurity company with close ties to the U.S. government. CrowdStrike said it documented seven Chinese cyberattacks against U.S. technology and pharmaceuticals companies.

One attack came the day after President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping announced the deal.

Microsoft Office defectors given Google Google is escalating an attack on Microsoft’s lucrative Office software in an attempt to hit its longtime rival where it will hurt the most. The assault is targeting companies and government agencies paying for Microsoft’s suite of word processing, email, calendar, spreadsheet and other Office programs. If they dump Microsoft, Google will give them free use of a package of its competing software that normally costs $5 or $10 per user each month. The price for the “Google for Work” software will be waived for the duration of the defecting customers’ existing contracts with Microsoft or any other supplier.

As an additional incentive, Google will pay up to $75,000 to each company switching to its software to cover the costs of making the change.

3 picks for Arlington council for 18 years, said her focus as a council member would be on the city budget, economic growth and the drug problem in the community.

Tendering, a resident for 20 years, says the key to financial stability is in bringing more retail and manufacturing businesses to town to add to its tax base. Tendering says he’s encouraged that the city has turned around financial problems, including a nearly depleted reserve fund that for the 2016 budget is $900,000, and wants the city to continue to build that reserve.

Weiss is very active in the community as a volunteer and has educated herself on the issues facing the city, but Tendering, with nearly four years on the council, has been part of the city’s success in its financial turnaround. He merits a second term from voters.

Position No. 5: Incumbent Marilyn Oertle, a practice manager with Western Washington Medical Group, is completing her fourth term on the council and is challenged

by Natalie Reed, a support enforcement officer with the state Department of Social and Health Services.

Reed, who volunteers as a volleyball coach with the Arlington Boys & Girls Club, was unable to meet with The Herald Editorial Board.

Oertle has been a resident

of Arlington since 1974. During her four terms in office she has served alongside three mayors, each with a different management style and has twice served terms as mayor pro tem. Oertle also supports continued and managed growth, but also is proud of Arlington’s parks and recreation programs and its support for the arts.

Oertle demonstrates knowledge of the issues facing the city, particularly its on-going negotiations with Fire District 21 as it works out issues of service and payment for services.

Oertle, because of her length of service, which includes time on the planning commission before joining the council in 2000, can provide perspective and institutional knowledge to others on the council. She deserves a fifth term from the voters.

Position No. 6: Political newcomers Jacob Kukuk and Mike Hopson are running for the seat now held by Austin DeFreece. The council appointed DeFreece to the position in July, following the death of council member Dick Butner, who died in May. DeFreece’s appointment to the council came after the filing deadline for the office had passed. He is now running a write-in campaign for the position.

Kukuk, a software developer

for the Washington Institute of Technology, says he is running with the goal of increasing representation for youths and young adults and wants to create a youth council to advise the city on issues important to them. He also hopes to bring high-tech jobs to Arlington and would focus on the issues of homelessness and addiction.

Hopson, a retired teacher, is a member of the city’s Airport Commission. He ran unsuccessfully in 2013 for the position now held by Jan Schuette. Hopson wants to make sure the effects of growth are addressed so that roads and utilities are not adversely affected. Regarding homelessness, he suggests encouraging development of affordable housing alternatives, such as “mother-in-law” apartments and partnerships with housing advocates.

DeFreece, an attorney who works in Bellevue, has lived in Arlington for three years. Previously he and his family lived in Lake Stevens.

DeFreece has shown himself to be a quick learner on the council, and we would encourage him to consider running for office in Arlington in the future. Hopson, based on his current work with the city and knowledge of the city and its issues, deserves the support of voters for the position.

set-back line is.

So before all the big hoopla about proposals of big plans for improvement, if you don’t have the money to hire a code enforcer, how are you going to afford the money for the projects outlined?

to the 2013 draft EIS prepared by Pace Engineering that stated: “An amendment of the city of Monroe Comprehensive Plan to allow for rezone of the property provides a complete solution to environmental challenges and makes development of the site in accordance with current codes economically feasible.”

We refuted that statement with a cost estimate and successful appeal to the GMHB. Our appeal was not based on economical feasibility. See GMHB case number 14-30006c. Mr. Daniels has clearly made up his mind on this issue based on misinformation and is not interested in the facts, and or checking the facts.

Please vote for a candidate that would not have a preconceived opinion, one that would check the facts and listen to both sides of the issue and use the city’s resources more prudently.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■ARLINGTON MAYOR

AFSCME backs Christianson Over these past several weeks, the public and the union members of the city of Arlington have had the opportunity to observe and evaluate the perspectives and agendas of the various candidates in the upcoming elections.

Craig Christianson is honest, pragmatic and has a hopeful insight into our community’s problems and needs, and his willingness to examine the issues and listen closely to the public’s and employee’s questions and concerns, sets him apart from the other candidate’s techniques and management style.

Craig was born and raised in Arlington. He has made his life here and raised his own family here.

Craig is an outstanding public servant who believes in clarity of government. If it can’t be put on the front page of a newspaper there’s no place for it in city government.

We have observed his dedication to Arlington as he seeks what is best for our city. He is a person of the highest integrity and you can depend on his word. With him a handshake is as ironclad as most people’s contracts.

American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees, Council 2, Local 2849 the largest union group in the city of Arlington endorses Craig Christianson for mayor as his values, vision and ethics most resemble those of our membership.

■■DARRINGTON

City needs code enforcement In order to attract business to this area, we need to create economic growth a rule of law, and a code, for a business to operate in. Even though the ideas of both candidates sound great for the city of Darrington, there is one thing that needs to be addressed, which is code enforcement.

Have your say Include your name, address and daytime phone number.

Send it to: Email: letters@heraldnet.com Mail: Letters section The Daily Herald P.O. Box 930 Everett, WA 98206

Darrington has no code enforcer. Even if a problem is brought to the attention of the city council, which by the way has the right to enforce the code, nothing gets done.

Codes are created to have a lawful society, where everyone has the right to express themselves within the rules, and regulations, of the codes.

However, the response of one city council person was “we are not a big city, this is Darrington.” In other words, we do just as we please, which they do. A person who gives such a response, are those that are not ethical enough to live by a code. This statement was made in the presence of Mayor Dan Rankin.

There exists self-appointed, self-interested planning committee, who advises the council what should be done as far as passing codes, or amending existing ones, who don’t even understand what a

■■MONROE

East proposal critical issue This letter is in response to candidate Patrick Daniel’s position on the East Monroe Rezone.

Candidate Daniel has referred to the East Monroe proposal as a property rights issue.

His assertion, along with others, including four council members, that any opposition to a comprehensive plan amendment and rezone is tantamount to depriving the property owner of property rights. On the contrary, it is simply good planning as the East Monroe site is properly zoned as limited open space and was so zoned at the time the current property owner acquired the property.

Additionally, Mr. Daniels disputed one argument that zoning the property general commercial isn’t feasible because it would cost too much to develop the land.

Our estimate was an answer

IN OUR VIEW | Election 2015: Arlington City Council

Arlington, a city nearing 18,500 in population, is rebounding well following the nation and region’s economic downturn.

Along with a thriving base of aerospace businesses at its airport, Arlington seems to be attracting the interest of other manufacturers, evidenced by last week’s news that a developer plans to build a multi-building business park near the airport on the former property of the closed Northwest Hardwoods plant and the Weyerhaeuser mill. The business park, which would be served by two BNSF rail spurs, could support as many as 2,000 jobs once it’s built out in three to five years.

The next four years present issues in managing growth, continuing to attract manufacturing and retail businesses and providing public safety services. Three of Arlington’s seven council positions are up for election, and each attracted at least two candidates.

Position No. 4: Incumbent Randy Tendering, a school bus driver for the Arlington School District, is completing his first term and is challenged by Sue Weiss, a retired accountant who serves on advisory boards for the Arlington Community Resource Center and school district.

Blame game for terror attacks cuts both ways

I

s Jeb Bush justified in claiming his brother “kept us safe” from terrorism?

Obviously not.

Let me be clear: It is grotesquely wrong to suggest that George W. Bush is in any way to blame for the 9/11 attacks.

That odious distinction belongs to Osama bin Laden, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed EUGENE ROBINSON and the 19 evil young men, most of them Saudi nationals, who hijacked airplanes, turned them into missiles and killed 3,000 Americans.

The undeniable fact, however, is that Bush was president at the time of the worst terrorist assault on the United States in history. Jeb is only rising to Donald Trump’s bait if he continues to engage in an argument he cannot win.

Being goaded by Trump, the GOP frontrunner, into weak and awkward positions almost seems to be part of Jeb’s campaign strategy. He defensively explains that “kept us safe” means the time after Sept. 11, 2001. The safekeeping includes measures such as intrusive domestic surveillance, torture of suspected terrorists and the invasion of Afghanistan. For Jeb, it excludes the invasion of Iraq, at least in retrospect, knowing what we know now.

Or maybe it does include Iraq, since that was the subject of the exchange at the second Republican debate that prompted Jeb’s “kept us safe” declaration.

Quite a thicket of weeds. And as long as Jeb is trying to hack his way out of it, Trump has the upper hand.

“Do I blame George Bush?” Trump asked rhetorically. “I only say that he was the president at the time, and you know, you could say the buck stops here.”

Once again, Trump has created a problem for Jeb Bush and the Republican establishment. The party is desperately trying to blame Hillary Clinton for the Sept.

11, 2012, attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead. Clinton was secretary of state at the time, and the GOP wants to convince voters that the buck stopped with her.

Clinton is set to testify Thursday before the House Select Committee on Benghazi in what was supposed to be a made-fortelevision show trial. But the panel was already discredited by Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who said its salutary impact has been to drive Clinton’s poll numbers down. Now Trump, with his impugning of the Bush legacy, points out an inconvenient parallel: By the committee’s warped logic, the most recent Republican president was guilty of negligence far beyond anything the GOP could ever pin on Clinton.

There is an obvious lesson to be learned in all of this: Bad things happen on every president’s watch — also, every secretary of state’s — and the proper place to lay blame is on the perpetrators.

To wit, the 1983 bombing of the Marine Corps barracks in Beirut, which killed 241 Americans, was not Ronald Reagan’s fault.

Blame can only be ascribed to the group called Islamic Jihad and the miscreant “martyr” who drove a truck laden with explosives into the facility. Reagan was president at the time, but we do not hold him accountable for the fact that there were terrorists in Lebanon determined to kill Americans.

Likewise, Bill Clinton was not responsible for the 1993 bombing at the World Trade Center or the deadly 2000 attack on the USS Cole. Ramzi Yousef and al-Qaida, respectively, were to blame.

No president can claim to have “kept us safe” from all harm. Every president has tried his best to do so, and it is shamefully cynical to pretend otherwise. I strongly opposed many of the steps George W. Bush took after 9/11, for example, but I never doubted that his motive was to protect our nation and its interests.

That’s what is so appalling about how Republicans have tried to take political advantage of the Benghazi tragedy.

Through selective leaks, cherry-picked facts and smarmy innuendo, they seek to give the impression that Clinton could have averted the deaths of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and the others but decided not to. Maybe she deliberately provided inadequate security, they imply.

Maybe she told rescuers to stand down.

This is nonsense, and I hope Clinton tells the Benghazi committee in no uncertain terms how deeply offensive it is.

Benghazi happened on her watch, and for that reason she accepts ultimate responsibility. But blame the terrorists, not dedicated public officials — even if they happen to be named Bush or Clinton.

I

t’s an amazing art exhibit, hidden in plain sight.

A dozen bright, bold murals depict scenes from around the world: Red Square. Great Pyramids of Egypt. Rio de Janeiro. Australia’s Ayers Rock.

Chances are you’ve driven by the painted wonders at 607 SE Everett Mall Way many times without noticing.

What’s up with that?

How could you not notice the Taj Mahal and The Great Wall?

The colorful murals line the backside of the International Marketplace, a long and low nondescript building that sits perpendicular from the street.

You can also see the murals from the northern edge of the Everett Target-Sports Authority parking lot, now that you know to look.

The murals were painted by three girls in high school and college over summers from 2009 to 2013.

The purpose was to liven up the cement-block building.

“It was just gray, that ugly gray, then we just put some color on it,” said Grace Robinson-Elmslie, now 20, the youngest of the trio.

“There’s really not a lot of art in this part of Everett,” said her older sister and head painter, Vanessa Robinson, 25. “My grandma has always been a huge fan of the arts.”

It was Grandma Dorothy Robinson’s idea to decorate the exterior with murals to reflect the global theme. She and Grandpa Bill own and manage the 58,000-square-foot building that houses about 40 businesses, including a taekwondo studio, craft brewery, beauty college, learning center and numerous startups.

The girls were commissioned to jazz it up.

It was a real job. They worked hard.

They earned payroll checks.

Vanessa, an art major at the time, was the mural mastermind. She recruited her friend Samantha Gleissner and Grace to help. Other family and friends pitched in.

“We started out painting just one to see how it goes,” said Vanessa, now a graphic designer for South by Sea, an Edmonds custom apparel company.

The first mural was the giant Earth and African flags in the very back by Moon Dragon Games.

“We came up with designs

Ideas? abrown@heraldnet.com, 425-339-3443 mainly on our own,” Vanessa said.

It was a simple operation, with makeshift scaffolding and acrylic paint from Michael’s. Some sketches by Vanessa were enlarged onto the wall using a 30-year-old overhead projector.

“We made some big mistakes, but then we covered them up. That’s the good thing about paint,” Samantha said.

They started a Facebook page, Death by Murals. (Check it out, it’s still there.)

“We were working outside in the rain and heat. It was kind of a joke,” said Vanessa, who designed “Death by Murals” letterheads and business cards for a class project. “We handed out a few business cards.”

Samantha liked painting the animals.

She majored in wildlife conservation and works at Woodland Park Zoo. “Art was something fun to do. Something to get away from science stuff,” she said.

That yellow cat in the Greece mural honors her dearly departed Spike.

Butterflies and flowers were the specialty for Grace, who works at Garden Treasures, an organic nursery in Arlington.

There were obstacles, like trying to get pipes to blend in and dealing with the porous surface of the blocks.

Their main worry was gang tagging, so the art was coated with a clear sealer.

In the beginning, there were a few issues with tags. Not anymore.

“I think a lot of the people around here respect the art a little too much to do that,” Samantha said.

For some reason, the murals never got recognition beyond the circle of customers that visit the businesses on the backside of the plaza.

Attempts to get media attention failed, so a relative sent this letter to the editor of The Herald in 2010: “I think it’s sad that no one seems to

even know they exist. Sure, they are not in a museum or an art gallery, but they are gorgeous and I believe that every one should drive by and take a look at them if they are in the area. Art created for the community often goes unrecognized and unappreciated ... I just want more people to be aware of their hard work and incredible skills as artists.”

The biggest fan is Grandma Dorothy.

“I think when people visit the area, it should be something they want to see,” Dorothy Robinson said. “You take people out to show them things in the area that are unique. It should be a real draw.”

Do the artists wish more people saw their work?

“It would be nice if people knew they were there,” Vanessa said. “The plaza is very multi-cultural. There are some cool really small businesses and it would be good for them.”

Tips for writing a 100-word story (in 100 words) A short story has a beginning, middle and end. It’s not poetry, or a novel, or a list, or fragmented sentences without pronouns or conjunctions.

The 100-word genre requires simplicity: strong verbs, limited adverbs, contractions, present tense, a powerful first line and concise sentences.

Eschew obfuscation, cutesy wordplay, excessive similes and esoterica. Avoid complex dialogue and situations.

Edit. Rewrite. Edit and rewrite again. Learn punctuation.

Write for a stranger. Read it to friends. Endure critiques. Deal in universal empathy, pathos or humor. Don’t confuse your reader. If they smile, weep or chuckle, you’re making progress.

It should be easy. Right?

Fancy cupcakes cause turmoil for mom

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: My son is in fourth grade, and for the last five years I’ve happily agreed to bring treats to class celebrations when my turn has rolled around, as I’m an avid home baker.

The last time I took decorated cupcakes in, my son’s principal took me aside and asked me to bring in “less elaborate” treats, as it was making the other parents feel bad about their own baking skills. I couldn’t believe it. Are the parents really thinking that because they can’t stuff a cupcake with chocolate ganache, their kids shouldn’t see pretty cupcakes ever?

Today was my turn again, so I took in much more subdued cupcakes — and a few parents still gave me dirty looks.

How should I deal with this?

Can I go back to more elaborate stuff since it seems nothing short of Milanos will make these people feel better about themselves? — Simplify the Cupcakes?

Sounds like you and the fourthgrade parents need to do some emergency, dukes-down bridgebuilding. “Hi, Parent 1 and 2, how are you? Would you like an underachieving cupcake?”

Maybe you’ve just fallen on the wrong side of a few weenies

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT among the class’ parents, but people generally don’t get hissy over cupcakes — they get hissy for other reasons and then recruit proxies, including defenseless baked goods.

My practical advice is to just make whatever cupcakes you feel like making — but also do some thinking about how you interact with your fellow parents. Never hurts to be friendly, even deliberately so, especially when you’re not feeling the love in return.

To: Cupcake: You should be happy you are allowed to bring cupcakes at all. My children’s school does not allow ANY food to be brought in to the classrooms!

Not even for holidays! I cannot begin to tell you how many pencils we have accumulated.

pencils than the crapstream that flowed from one school my kids went to. I am deeply — nay, profoundly — grateful for the food ban at my kids’ current school. — Not Ganaching My Teeth Carolyn: The parents’ reaction probably has something to do with the fact that my husband and I are significantly less wealthy than everyone else and I work part-time from home. I have heard things like, “Must be nice to have that much free time,” and “She just does this because it’s all she has.”

I’ve been friendly with everyone, but frankly I don’t want to be more than polite to snarky people. — Cupcakes again Oh no, mean girls! Or, I should say, insecure people who have not figured out that they’ll feel a whole lot better about their wobbly selves if they embrace others, versus tearing them down. I pity them.

So, new answer: Please, please frost the next batch to the sky. And if the principal says anything to you, say you gave it some thought and realized you’re baking for the kids, not the parents.

I’m sticking to the friendliness advice though. It’ll either succeed at disarming your critics, or annoy them no end. Win-win.

Wife needs wake-up call on family’s sleeping patterns Dear Abby: My wife and I have been married 16 years. We have three boys, ages 12, 6 and 2. My 6-yearold doesn’t sleep in his bed.

He sleeps on the couch.

My wife sleeps in a recliner in the den. The 2-year-old usually sleeps with her.

Sometimes he sleeps in a crib in our room. I sleep by myself in a king-size bed.

There is no possibility for romance. The only time there can be is when my wife comes to bed. Our sex life is totally up to her. Once a month or so is fine with her, but not for me.

I have told her how I feel about our “sleeping arrangements,” but nothing has changed. I know I snore, but she has not complained about it keeping her awake or used it as an excuse.

Our 6-year-old will not sleep in his bed as long as his mother sleeps in the recliner. The longer this goes on, the harder it will be to get him in his bed.

Do you have any advice on what I should do or say about this situation?

— Sleeping Solo In The South Dear Sleeping Solo: Obviously this arrangement isn’t working for you.

Unless you want to live the rest of your life this way, you are complaining to the wrong woman.

Your wife is doing the children no favors by allowing these unorthodox sleeping arrangements.

It’s time to lay your cards on the table with her. Tell her you need some straight answers about why she’s unwilling to share your bed. But if her answers are not forthcoming, marriage counseling may be necessary to improve your level of communication.

Dear Abby: I recently saw a link on Facebook to a fundraising site for the RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY son of a childhood friend.

(He is under 18.) When I clicked on it, I discovered he is in rehab at a privatecare facility that requires he stay for months. It is very expensive. I contributed as generously as I could, considering my limited finances, and received a thank-you for my support. I was happy to help.

Now, less than three weeks later, I’m seeing pictures of my friend on vacation. I don’t plan to say anything to this person, but I have learned a valuable lesson. From now on, I will donate my hard-earned money only to organizations I believe in and have researched.

Is this a new trend, people asking others to fund their family problems so they can go on with life as usual? I recently saw a GoFundMe page for a funeral, and I know the family is well-off. I think this is very tacky. Or am I behind the times? Your thoughts? — No Vacation For Me Dear No Vacation: More than a few individuals are using crowdfunding to pay for various things. It has helped some people enormously in their time of need. But for someone who is not in need to do this, I agree is tacky. However, regardless of what you and I may think, it’s happening nonetheless. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, I guess.

BRIDGE Reading the cards — my topic this week — assumes that you can rely on your opponents to play logically. Always assume that they have.

If you make a well reasoned play that fails because an opponent did something silly — well, you can have a good laugh.

Against today’s slam, West led the ace of diamonds and shifted to the nine of hearts.

South was reluctant to finesse — the lead of the nine looked ominous — so he took the ace, drew trumps

‘Finding Your Roots’ returning in 2016 NEW YORK — PBS’ popular “Finding Your Roots” series, temporarily shelved after an episode omitted references to the slaveholding past of Ben Affleck’s ancestor at the actor’s request, will return to public television for its third season in January.

The show has hired a new fact-checker and two new genealogists as part of its reforms, said the network’s Beth Hoppe on Monday. PBS had suspended the series after determining that the show’s producers violated standards by allowing Affleck undue influence on its content and failing to inform the network of his request.

“It has become a more transparent process and a more rigorous process,” Hoppe said, “but essentially at its core these are personal stories about people who are

“Finding Your Roots,”

which is hosted and written by Henry Louis Gates Jr., returns Jan. 5.

Julianne Moore, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Sen. John McCain and television producers Norman Lear and Shonda Rhimes are among the 28 new celebrities whose backgrounds are traced.

Given the sensitivity of the Affleck case, the series makes certain to mention if its experts find slaveholding backgrounds for any of the celebrities featured this season, even if that isn’t a central part of the story being told, Hoppe said.

That’s the case with several people in the new season, but PBS would not reveal which ones.

Hoppe said Gates has done everything PBS has asked to ensure the show has no further problems.

solutions to the problems you are experiencing with friends, relatives or neighbors. Share your thoughts and you will feel free to move forward. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Refuse to let anyone take advantage of you. Don't share your personal secrets or prematurely divulge a plan you want to develop. Keeping the peace is your forte, but look out for bullies and be prepared to weather the storm. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Talk to your peers and see if anyone can contribute to a project you are undertaking. Appeal to the emotional side of those sharing your values, and you will drum up support and position yourself as a forerunner. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Keep a low profile. Do your best to use your intelligence to make your point instead of taking action without proper authority or approval. Don't make life overly difficult. Focus on making personal improvements. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don't let the changes that others make concern you. Go about your business and protect your possessions and assets. There are opportunities to make substantial gains if you apply practical applications to unusual situations. Romance will enhance your life. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Go over what you've done in the past and the ideas you still want to pursue, and map out your plans to follow through. Your ideas are good, and with a couple of alterations, you will receive great satisfaction and encouragement. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Taking care of other people's business will put you in a strong position. Your generosity and concern will be questioned by some and admired by others.

Don't waffle when you should be showing your leadership ability. Romance is favored. ★★★★ Universal Uclick

Snohomish’s John Beal competes in an EnduroCross event at Everett’s Xfinity Arena last Saturday.

‘Part of your personality’ Snohomish’s John Beal, who was paralyzed after he broke his neck in a crash in 2004, didn’t let the injury stop him from pursuing his passion for racing motorcycles.

By Rich Myhre

Saturday night he was at Everett’s Xfinity Arena for a major EnduroCross event with top-ranked riders from around the world.

He finished back in the field, but just being there was an accomplishment of sorts — albeit an accomplishment with a new question.

After all, why would someone get back on a motorcycle after the sport nearly made him spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair?

A good question, Beal admits, and one he answers this way: “If there’s something in life that you’re passionate about, whether it’s motocross or whatever it is, it’s just part of your personality.

And if you give it up, it conflicts with who you are as a person.”

A return to racing “was an opportunity for me to bounce back,” he added. “It gave me the motivation to heal up and to be an athlete again and to continue on with my life. I think that was as big a part of this as anything.”

n the hours after a motorcycle race crash left John Beal paralyzed from a broken neck, the big question was whether he would even survive. Then when his condition stabilized, the question became whether he would ever move his arms and legs again, and ultimately be able to live a normal life.

But within a year after his accident, and by that time having regained almost full function in all his limbs, the question changed once more. To the surprise of his doctors and many people around him, Beal was asking if he could race again.

Told that his risk of injury was no different than before the 2004 accident, “that was kind of a green light to me,” said the 36-year-old Beal, who lives in Snohomish.

So he resumed racing, and on

KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD

John Beal, who is now 36, broke his neck in a motorcycle race crash in 2004.

Beal started racing motorcycles while a student at Snohomish High School. After his 1998 graduation, “I decided I was going to pursue my racing dreams,” he

said. “I decided I was going to give it a go, and when I was 19 I started traveling the country and the world ... (racing in) the amateur and professional ranks.”

Failure to communicate costs Seahawks

Huskies’ Browning ‘day to day’ with shoulder injury SEATTLE — Washington head coach Chris Petersen’s update Monday regarding the health of starting quarterback Jake Browning was predictably vague.

Browning, Petersen said, is “day to day, like all of the guys in our program, unless they’ve got a longterm thing.”

So, Browning’s injured right shoulder is apparently not “a long-term thing” at this point. But it’s still not entirely clear if the true freshman will be able to play when the Washington Huskies visit No. 10 Stanford for a 7:30 p.m. game Saturday night.

Late in UW’s 26-20 loss to Oregon, Browning was tackled hard into the turf by a Ducks defender,

He also began competing in longer off-road events “because I excelled at those more than I did the motocross. ... I was making some money and kind of doing my thing,” he said.

But on July 15, 2004, just short of his 25th birthday, Beal was racing at Hannagan Speedway in Bellingham. A crash sent him flying over the handlebars, as happens to even the best riders from time to time, and as had happened to Beal before.

But this night he landed on his head, “and I was instantly paralyzed from the neck down,” he said. “I wasn’t moving. I was just laying there, staring at the sky.”

Beal was fortunate that an emergency vehicle was close by, and he was soon on his way to Bellingham’s St. Joseph Medical Center. Physicians familiar with spinal cord injuries immediately set about reducing the swelling

Coach K to step down as U.S. coach after 2016 Olympics The News & Observer Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski will step down from his position as the head coach of U.S. men's national team after the 2016 Olympics, according to an interview he gave to ESPN's Andy Katz.

Krzyzewski’s plan is to announce his successor before the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games next summer.

The Everett Silvertips announced Monday they’ve re-assigned 16-year-old defenseman Jantzen Leslie to the Lloydminster (Alberta) Bobcats midget AAA team.

The move comes as a bit of a surprise as Leslie was Everett’s first-round pick (15th overall) in the 2014 bantam draft. A Lloydminster native, the 6-foot-1, 170-pounder scored a goal and had nine assists in 32 games with the Jantzen Bobcats a season ago.

Leslie Leslie also appeared in six games for the Silvertips during the 2014-15 season during which he recorded three assists. He did not register a point in three games this season.

The move leaves Everett with seven defensemen and four other 16-year-olds on the roster for a total of 23 active players — generally the number the organization desires.

Everett goaltender Carter Hart and defenseman Noah Juulsen have been named to Team WHL, which takes on Team Russia next month in a series of exhibition games in the Canadian Hockey League Canada-Russia Series.

Team WHL faces Team Russia in Game 1 of the series Nov. 9 in Kelowna, British Columbia. The two teams square off again the next night in Kamloops, British Columbia.

The Ontario Hockey League plays host to Game 3 on Nov. 12 in Owen Sound, Ontario, and Game 4 on Nov. 16 in Windsor, Ontario.

The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League concludes the series as the host for Game 5 on Nov. 17 in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, and Game 6 on Nov. 19 in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The Team WHL forwards are Mathew Barzal (Seattle), Conner Bleackley (Red Deer), Rourke Chartier (Kelowna), Jake DeBrusk (Swift Current), Ryan Gropp (Seattle), Jansen Harkins (Prince George), Jayce Hawryluk (Brandon), Nick Merkley (Kelowna), Nolan Patrick (Brandon), Brayden Point (Moose Jaw), Brett Pollock (Edmonton) and John Quenneville (Brandon).

Defensemen include Juulsen, Kale Clague (Brandon), Haydn Fleury (Red Deer), Brendan Guhle (Prince Albert), Joe Hicketts (Victoria) and Travis Sanheim (Calgary). Moose Jaw’s Zach Saw-

chenko is the other goaltender.

The team will be coached by Victoria head coach Dave Lowry.

The series will be broadcast live on Sportsnet and TVA Sports.

Lotz pitches shutout Former Everett goaltender Austin Lotz recorded a shutout Saturday in his second game since being selected by the Medicine Hat Tigers in last Thursday’s overage draft.

Lotz recorded 27 saves in the Tigers’ 6-0 win over Calgary. The 20-year-old netminder also earned the win with 28 saves and three goals allowed in Medicine Hat’s 6-3 victory over Kootenay on Friday.

WHL honors Swift Current Broncos forward Jon Martin was named WHL Player of the Week on Monday. Martin collected two goals and five assists in three games last week. The Winnipeg native is tied for first in the WHL in scoring with 19 points.

Meanwhile, Prince Albert goaltender Ian Scott was the WHL’s nominee for CHL Goaltender of the Week. Scott recorded two wins, including one shutout, to go along with a 0.60 goals against average and a .980 save percentage. He recorded 50 saves in 51 chances over the weekend.

DraftKings: Investigation confirms no wrongdoing

By Kimberly Pierceall Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — A law firm hired by DraftKings to investigate claims an employee used valuable inside information to win a $350,000 second-place prize on a competing daily fantasy sports site contest confirms that it didn’t and couldn’t have happened.

The Boston-based daily fantasy sports company released a short two-page summary Monday saying it would have been impossible for the employee to use the information to win on FanDuel because he didn’t receive the helpful data until 40 minutes after that site’s contest closed. The companies’ employees aren’t allowed to bet on their own sites but until recently could play on competing sites.

When the allegation jumped from online message boards to front pages, the unregulated daily fantasy sports industry had already begun attracting scrutiny from regulators, lawmakers and observers inundated by advertisements promising to make millionaires out of players competing on the sites. Customers pick player lineups much like season-long fantasy sports games, wagering a couple quarters to thousands of dollars in some cases, and win based on the points earned during a single day.

The company’s announcement came days after Nevada gambling regulators told daily fantasy sites to get out or get a gambling license, federal lawmakers repeated calls to hold a Congressional hearing looking into the industry, several lawsuits hoping to become classaction suits have been filed and leaders in several states have noted they’re looking at the contests’ legality.

In Massachusetts, where DraftKings is based, the state’s attorney general’s office has been reviewing daily fantasy sports. Spokeswoman Cyndi Roy Gonzalez said, “there is little question that this industry will need to be regulated in order to protect consumers, and we intend to make our findings and

recommendations public at the end of this review.”

In Nevada, it appeared that DraftKings hadn’t entirely left the state since the cease and desist order Friday. Nevada Gaming Control Board chair A.G. Burnett said his agency was monitoring the situation after it was told the company has to adjust its software platform in order to comply.

Daily fantasy sports sites have insisted they aren’t gambling, clinging to an exemption for fantasy sports in a 2006 federal law and argue what they offer is a game based in skill, not chance.

The investigation was led by the former U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts, now with firm Greenberg Traurig, and confirmed DraftKings’ own earlier internal review.

The claim of possible insider trading raised questions beyond the single incident, including who has access to internal information and when, and what consumer

protections were in place.

Major League Baseball, an investor in the site, expressed surprise at the time that employees were known to play on competing sites. Shortly after the story surrounding the employee caught fire, DraftKings and FanDuel both announced they were changing their policies to bar employees from playing on competing sites.

DraftKings, when they announced Greenberg Traurig would investigate the incident, said the firm had already been retained to review the company’s policies and procedures.

The results of that review haven’t been made public, yet.

Chris Grove with site LegalSportsReport.com which has been closely tracking daily fantasy sports industry developments, said at the time the employee allegations at DraftKings wasn’t the story.

“The lack of a coherent, transparent system for ensuring

fairness, the inability of the industry to provide credible answers, and the sheer amount of money being risked by players within this system is the story,” he said. “This one incident is just the first genuine peek into the attitude sites take toward these critical issues.”

LegalSportsReport.com reported Monday that a lesserknown daily fantasy site, StarsDraft, has taken the step to pull its real-money contests out of all but four states where the legal landscape is more clear: New Jersey, Massachusetts, Kansas and Maryland. The company said in a statement that it has called for state regulation and licensing, “to ensure consumer protection and strict government oversight of operators.”

It is operated by Amaya, the same Canadian company that owns PokerStars.

StarsDraft had already pulled out of Nevada, Florida and Michigan.

Ex-NBA star Odom alert and improving, according to family Associated Press LAS VEGAS — Lamar Odom is alert and his condition is improving after the former NBA star was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel a week ago, his family said Monday.

Alvina Alston, publicist for Odom’s aunt JaNean Mercer, said the former reality-TV personality is undergoing testing, but there is no word yet on when he might be released from the hospital. Odom is overcoming “insurmountable obstacles” and defying the odds, Mercer said in a statement.

“Each day Lamar is getting stronger and reaching significant milestones in his recovery,” the statement said.

Odom was found in extremely critical condition at the Love Ranch brothel in the rural community of Crystal, Nevada, on Oct. 13 and was hospitalized

in Las Vegas. He regained consciousness and communicated for the first time Friday.

The brothel said workers saw him drink alcohol and take supplements sold as “herbal Viagra.” The Food and Drug Administration issued a warning in 2013 against one brand he took, Reload, after it was found to contain sildenafil, the active ingredient in prescription Viagra.

He also told at least one of the women that he had done cocaine, but the brothel says it did not see him take any drugs or find any there.

Odom’s family, including estranged wife Khloe Kardashian, rushed to Las Vegas to be by his side at the hospital. Friends, teammates and loved ones also have visited and posted requests for prayers on social media.

Love Ranch owner Dennis Hof has said that Odom arrived Oct.

10 for a four-day stay and spent $75,000 on two women who accompanied him in a VIP suite.

Hof also said that Odom asked about a dozen women working there on Sunday to sign confidentiality agreements barring them from speaking about his visit.

Hof said no one has ever asked for such an agreement and that no confidentiality policy exists for the customers. However, the women who work there do sign an agreement with the brothel that prohibits them from speaking out about clients.

Henson alleges racial profiling MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Bucks center John Henson said Monday that he was racially profiled outside a Wisconsin jewelry store in an incident the shop owner said was a misunderstanding.

Henson posted an account of the incident on Instagram, saying workers at the Whitefish Bay shop where he’d intended to look at a watch

locked the door and told him to leave.

Henson, who is black, said he was questioned by police officers about the vehicle he was driving and what he wanted to purchase. He called the incident “degrading.”

Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers owner Thomas Dixon told WISN-TV the incident was a misunderstanding over Henson’s vehicle. Police had asked employees to be on the lookout for certain types of cars, he said.

Whitefish Bay Police issued a twopage statement detailing the department’s recent interactions with the store and Henson. It said the department had advised the store to call police if a Red Tahoe like Henson’s arrived after one parked outside the store days earlier raised suspicions that its plates were stolen.

Henson said in his post that the car was part of an endorsement deal with a Chevrolet dealer.

The statement said the officers were dispatched to the store Monday afternoon “as the Red Tahoe had returned.” The officers talked to Henson then requested that the employees open the door, it said.

Reversal of roles

Carley Wika of Marysville-Getchell was a standout goalkeeper last year but switched to forward this season to fill a need for the Chargers.

Marysville Getchell’s former goalkeeper, Carley Wika, has gone from trying to prevent goals to trying to score them

By David Krueger Herald Writer

MARYSVILLE — Carley Wika didn’t see a position change coming.

The Marysville Getchell junior, who was an honorable mention All-Wesco 3A North goalkeeper last season, has stepped out of the net into a forward position this year. The switch is a bit of a role reversal for Wika, who has gone from trying to stop goals to trying to score them. “(Marysville Getchell head coach Wayne Nash) came up to me at tryouts and asked if I’d like to play on the field full time,” Wika said. “I was like, ‘Well, is that what you want me to do? Is that what you want for the team?’

“OK, I’ll do it.”

Nash had envisioned a scheme change for Marysville Getchell this season that required a player who was fast and a bit taller at forward.

Wika fit the bill.

“She’s an amazing athlete and at tryouts she played on the field before we had keepers in the net and she was our No. 2 forward when we were tracking stats,” Nash said. “… I let her make that decision because it’s a big one and she said that she would do whatever she needed to for the team.”

An abundance of goalkeepers

She said that she would do whatever she needed to for the team.”

— Wayne Nash Marysville Getchell girls soccer coach on junior Carley Wika’s change of positions.

meant the Chargers could absorb moving Wika out of the net. Junior Rylee Shear and freshman Kaitlynn Knocke impressed Nash at tryouts and convinced the coach he could make the change.

“We are blessed at the goalie position,” Nash said. “… Carley (left) big shoes to fill because of her quality, but I thought these kids could step up and do it, and I feel they have.”

It was the latest in a series of position changes for Wika, who switched from playing midfield for her select team to goalkeeper for the Chargers her freshman season. The transition back to the field took some getting used to.

“I didn’t have a lot of confidence going into it,” she said. “I was constantly asking questions

like, ‘Am I doing it right? I feel like I’m doing something wrong.’ …

It was nerve-wracking until I got into the position and then it was really exciting. When I started playing, it felt like a rush — a lot of adrenaline.”

Nash said Wika has grown into the position and has done a good job of setting up her teammates for success. Wika has two assists and no goals this season, but her numbers are a bit lower than expected because she missed the past two weeks after suffering a concussion in a game against Marysville Pilchuck on Sept. 28.

The Chargers (3-8-1) are 0-4-1 without Wika, who plans to return for Marysville Getchell’s game Tuesday against Lynnwood.

“Since we haven’t had her for the last two weeks, we’ve seen the decrease in our ability to attack,” Nash said. “It hasn’t translated into goals, and that’s not what my intention was because the role that she plays is a role where she’s distributing with a chance to score, but she’s really set up a lot of our offense so that other people can score.

“She was getting so good at assisting that it put a lot of attention on the other forwards and then she would be able to pick up goals from behind that. We haven’t seen that yet, but I still think we have time to get there

this season.”

Wika, a captain for the Chargers, is almost too unselfish, Nash said with a laugh.

“She’s always willing to do whatever she needs to do,” Nash said. “She’s a captain as a junior. She will put others first.

It’s something that we’ve talked about: That’s a good skill, but you also have to have balance in that, too.”

Wika isn’t sure which position she prefers. She planned on being a goalkeeper in college but is open to switching roles — again.

“I have no idea yet,” Wika said.

“It scares me to say I want to be a forward full-time because I’ve put so much time into being a goalkeeper. But I don’t know. I really like (forward).

“They’re both difficult and easy at the same time. Goalkeeping is a lot on your body and that pressure of the game, but then as a forward you’re a lot more relaxed and have a lot more things to do on the field. But it’s really hard trying to get the technique down.”

For Wika, the Chargers’ success is the most important thing, though she does have a personal goal for the 2015 season.

“If I can give it off to someone else for a better shot, I’ll do that,” Wika said, “but I definitely want to score this year ... at least once.”

Report: M’s interview Rays’ Montoyo

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

Tampa Bay coach Charlie Montoyo interviewed Monday with the Seattle Mariners for their vacant managerial opening, according to a Twitter post by Ken Davidoff of the New York Post.

There was no confirmation from the Mariners regarding the

report, but multiple sources indicate Montoyo is on a list of what is believed to be five finalists to replace Lloyd McClendon.

While new general manager Jerry Dipoto recently acknowledged he has a short list of candidates, he added, “I’m not likely to share it at any time soon.”

Montoyo, 50, spent the past season as the Rays’ third-base

coach after serving the eight previous years as manager of their Triple-A Durham affiliate.

Tampa Bay interviewed Montoyo a year ago when Joe Maddon left for the Chicago Cubs before eventually hiring Kevin Cash.

Former Texas interim manager Tim Bogar is generally viewed as the Mariners’ leading candidate to replace McClendon, who was

fired Oct. 9 by Dipoto with one year remaining on his contract.

Bogar currently works for the Los Angeles Angels as a special assistant to the general manager — a post he accepted last November when Dipoto was the Angels’ general manager.

Earlier reports contend Phil Nevin interviewed for the Mariners’ opening. Nevin spent the

past two years as manager at Triple-A Reno in the Arizona system.

Durham won six division titles and two International League crowns in Montoyo’s eight years.

The Bulls also won the Triple-A championship in 2009.

Montoyo was picked in 2010 and 2013 as the International League’s manager of the year.

Cubs focused on Game 3 against Mets

By Jay Cohen Associated Press

CHICAGO — Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber and Jason Hammel played hacky sack with a baseball, and manager Joe Maddon chatted amiably with his players and staff as he made his way around Wrigley Field on Monday afternoon.

Down 2-0 to the New York Mets in the NL Championship Series, the Chicago Cubs are sticking with what worked for them during a breakthrough season.

“We’ll come out tomorrow, we’ll be ready to play,” Maddon said. “Our guys are always ready to play.”

It might not matter if the Mets continue to pitch as well as they did in New York. Matt Harvey and Noah Syndergaard shut down Chicago’s powerful lineup in the first two games of the series, putting New York in an ideal position to make it to the World Series for the first time in 15 years — a quaint little drought compared to the Cubs’ seven mostly empty decades since they last played in the Fall Classic.

According to STATS, the winner of the first two games of a best-of-seven series in the baseball playoffs has advanced 83 percent (63 of 76) of the time, and the Mets have Jacob deGrom heading to the mound for Game 3 on Tuesday night.

“We have a lot of confidence,” manager Terry Collins said. “Any night that he pitches, we’ve got a good chance to win.” deGrom is coming off a pair of impressive victories in the NL Division Series, albeit for different reasons.

The 27-year-old was dominant in Game 1 at Los Angeles, striking out 13 while pitching seven scoreless innings in New York’s 3-1 win. Then he came back for Game 5 and worked six effective innings despite not having his best stuff.

While deGrom has struggled in three career starts against Chicago, Harvey and Syndergaard provided a roadmap for the righthander in the first two games of the series. Harvey and Syndergaard pounded the strike zone, getting ahead of the Cubs’ young sluggers and keeping them off balance.

The Mets started the Cubs with a strike in 43 of 68 at-bats in New York, according to STATS. They threw 177 of their 274 pitches for a strike, a 64.6 percent success rate.

Those are important numbers against the patient Cubs, who finished second in the majors to Toronto with 567 walks this season.

Blue Jays break out

Toronto wins 11-8, cut Royals’ lead to 2-1

By Howie Rumberg Associated Press

TORONTO — Troy Tulowitzki, Josh Donaldson and the slugging Toronto Blue Jays were eager to return to their homer dome after dropping the first two games of the AL Championship Series in Kansas City.

They showed everyone why.

The Blue Jays came out swinging and their rowdy fans were singing from the start, with Tulowitzki and Donaldson connecting in a six-run third inning as Toronto roughed up Johnny Cueto and the Royals for an 11-8 victory that cut Kansas City’s series lead to 2-1.

“That’s really what we’re all about,” manager John Gibbons said. “We desperately needed that breakout.”

Veteran knuckleballer R.A. Dickey will try to get the Blue Jays even in the best-of-seven series Tuesday afternoon. He faces Kansas City’s 6-foot-10 righthander Chris Young in Game 4.

Ryan Goins also homered and had a two-run single a game after his misplayed pop fly set off Kansas City’s winning seventh-inning rally Sunday.

“There’s no need to put any extra pressure on yourself,” Goins said when asked if he was looking for redemption.

“Just come out and do what I’ve been doing all season — whatever I can do to help this team win is what I’m going to do.”

The resilient Royals tried to come back this time, too. Kendrys Morales capped a four-run surge with a two-run homer before

Roberto Osuna closed it out.

“We’re just going to keep fighting,” Kansas City outfielder Alex Gordon said. “We’ve got a lot of competitors on this team and that’s what you see.”

Even with a big lead, Tulowitzki lost his cool. He was given a rare playoff ejection for arguing balls and strikes before the top of the eighth.

Tulowitzki, who struck out looking in the seventh, was restrained by teammates as he argued with plate umpire John Hirschbeck when the Blue Jays took the field for the eighth. Gibbons and bench coach DeMarlo Hale also came out to break it up.

Despite being outhit 15-11 by the pesky Royals, Toronto pounced on Kansas City’s pitching in the first ALCS game at Toronto since 1993 for their most runs ever at home in the postseason — after scoring just three in two games in Kansas City.

“You could not tell in the clubhouse if we’re down 0-2 or up 2-0,” winning pitcher Marcus Stroman said. “What we have is extremely special. The confidence that everybody has with everybody is amazing.”

Seemingly not distracted by the contentious federal elections that were being held in Canada on Monday, 49,751 fans serenaded Cueto with a sing-song “Cueto-Cueto!” chant from the game’s first pitch and never quieted down.

The Royals took a quick lead when Alcides Escobar opened the game with a triple and scored on Ben Zobrist’s grounder. But that was the only advantage Kanas City held in having its nine-game ALCS winning streak snapped. The string dated to the 1985 series against Toronto.

Blue Jays center fielder Kevin Pillar quashed that rally with a fantastic, over-the-shoulder catch that sent him crashing into the wall.

After an easy first, Cueto appeared flustered by the crowd. Eleven of his remaining 13 batters reached and at one point in the third inning he threw his hands up in frustration after gesturing for a new cycle of signs from catcher Salvador Perez.

Blue Jays ban sale of beer cans in upper deck Associated Press TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have banned selling beer cans in the upper deck at the AL Championship Series after fans threw them on the field during a ruckus earlier in the playoffs.

Starting Monday night at Game 3 between Toronto and Kansas City, beer will be poured into plastic cups in the upper deck at Rogers Centre.

The Blue Jays made the change after some fans reacted to a ruling on a bizarre play in

the seventh inning of Game 5 in the Division Series against Texas by pelting the field with cans.

Mario Coutinho, vice president of stadium operations and security, wouldn't say how many Toronto police officers would be at Monday's game, but said the number was "fairly high."

The Blue Jays reserved the right to cut off beer sales after the fifth inning if there are any problems.

In the seventh inning of Toronto's Game 5 win over

Texas, a raucous crowd turned rowdy when Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin's seemingly routine return toss to the pitcher hit Texas batter ShinSoo Choo.

The ball rolled loose and the go-ahead run for the Rangers.

During an 18-minute delay to sort out the ruling, fans tossed beer cans among other debris.

Many of the cans didn't reach the field, striking fans in the seats close to the field.

Toronto scored four runs in the bottom of the inning and went on to win 6-3.

DETROIT — Tigers pitcher Daniel Norris says baseball kept him sane after a jarring medical diagnosis.

The Detroit left-hander announced in a message on Twitter and Instagram on Monday that he kept playing last season after finding out he had a cancerous growth on his thyroid.

The 22-year-old Norris said the growth was deemed malignant but he was told by a doctor that he could wait until the end of the season to have it removed.

“I was given the option to shut my year down & get it removed immediately,” Norris posted.

“However, seeing another doctor that determined I could wait until the end of the season reassured my gut feeling. Just keep playing.”

Norris went 3-2 with a 3.75 ERA this year in 13 starts for Toronto and Detroit. He was traded to the Tigers in late July as the most highly regarded prospect in the deal that sent David Price to the Blue Jays.

“We’re big fans of Daniel here,” Blue Jays assistant general manager Tony LaCava said. “Short of trading him for David Price, I don’t think we ever would have done something like that. He’s got a great future. It sounds like he’s got good care and it seemed like he was confident that he was going to be fine, which is great.”

Al Avila, who was promoted to replace Dave Dombrowski as Detroit’s general manager shortly after the trade deadline, said in a text message that the Tigers knew about Norris’ condition when they acquired him and expect him to recover in full.

“It’s time to get this thing out,” Norris said in his social media post. “So please keep me in your thoughts & prayers as I undergo surgery & come out 100% cancer free!”

Norris said he found out about the growth a few months ago, after he was optioned to TripleA. He said it was alarming to hear the growth was malignant, but he kept playing.

“Baseball kept me sane,” he said. “Regardless of the results on the field, I forgot about it when I was between the lines. ... I was just trying to get the heck out of AAA. ... I was revived with an opportunity, a blessing from God, with the Tigers.”

Norris made eight starts down the stretch for the Tigers.

Blue Jays outfielder Dalton Pompey was Norris’ teammate all the way through Toronto’s minor league system, with both players making their major league debut in September, 2014. The pair broke camp with the Blue Jays this April but both were later demoted to Triple-A Buffalo.

“I knew that something was up because I remember him telling me that he went to the doctors for something in his throat,” Pompey said before the Blue Jays hosted Kansas City in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series. “I didn’t think anything of it. He said not to worry about it and now, obviously, it’s escalated into something else.”

Several other Blue Jays, including manager John Gibbons and catcher Russell Martin, said they had no idea what Norris had been dealing with.

“He’s a great person,” Martin said. “He’s one of my favorite young players that I’ve ever been around. He has his priorities and values in the right place.”

Gibbons called Norris “a special kid” and wished him a speedy recovery.

the game. It’s not the kind of mistake one expects to see from a secondary often held up as the class of the NFL. “I haven’t seen the players yet, so I don’t know any more than what I learned in the locker room (Sunday) night,” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said Monday at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center when asked what happened on that play.

“They just thought it was something different.

They just missed it.”

Here’s how the play developed. Carolina, trailing by three, had the ball at the Seattle 26-yard line with 37 seconds remaining in the game. The Panthers lined up with three receivers on the left side of the formation and tight end Greg Olsen alone on the right, just off the tackle. Olsen streaked up the numbers, was left completely uncovered by Sherman playing left cornerback and Thomas playing safety, and hauled in a game-winning touchdown pass from Cam Newton.

How is it possible Olsen, by far Carolina’s most dangerous receiver, was lost on the game’s decisive play? It turns out Sherman and Thomas were inadvertently playing different defensive schemes.

In a cover 2 scheme, which has two deep defenders, Sherman, as the left corner, is responsible for the left flat while Thomas, as the left-side safety, has to cover deep on the left. In a cover 3 scheme, with three deep defenders, Sherman is supposed to stay with any receiver who goes deep, while Thomas remains deep centrally.

Unfortunately for the Seahawks, Thomas thought the team was in a cover 3 scheme while Sherman thought the team was in a cover 2 scheme. The result was neither player thought they had deep responsibility on the left, meaning Olsen was able to split straight between Thomas and Sherman and wind up uncovered deep.

In the postgame interviews, it was revealed that Sherman was in the correct defense and Thomas was in the wrong one. “(The defensive coverage call) comes in over the headset, the (middle) linebacker gets the call and he distributes the call, as well as we signal it to cover the guys that may not get the signal, if guys look to us,” Carroll explained about how a defense is communicated to the players from the sidelines. “We have a back-up plan that we execute every snap as well.

“That’s the first time I can ever remember Earl not knowing what the other guys were doing,” Carroll added. “I don’t know how that occurred.

There were a couple other guys, too, who were in question on the call, so something happened there. I’m not exactly sure how that happened yet on the field. We know what we called, and what we signaled in. K.J. (Wright, playing middle linebacker) got it, and he started the process, but it just didn’t get exchanged properly for whatever reason.”

While Carroll didn’t know exactly where the communication breakdown occurred, it wasn’t because of anything Carolina did. The Panthers spiked the ball on the previous play to stop the clock and call a play in the huddle. Therefore, Seattle was not hurried into making a defensive call.

“Yeah, it was not rushed,” Carroll confirmed.

The Seahawks talked extensively about communication being an issue earlier in the season.

Part of those communication issues could be because Seattle has a new defensive coordinator, Kris Richard, after Dan Quinn departed in the offseason to become the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. But Carroll dismissed that as the reason for the breakdown on the game-winning play Sunday.

“None of that has anything to do with anything,” Carroll said. “That’s nothing. You guys keep trying. That has nothing to do with it. We just missed the signal that we normally get and it comes in verbally, we show it to them and we just missed it. Our communication now is really at a high level, and unfortunately you can make a mistake, and we did. We let them down there before that all happened. They already were in field-goal range and all that. We hadn’t done the right things earlier, but that was a big mistake. It was in communication, but it wasn’t because of all those other things that you’re talking about.”

though the sack was nullified by a hands-to-the-face penalty against Oregon defensive end DeForest Buckner.

Browning stayed in the game, and after the Huskies ran the ball twice, he threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Jaydon Mickens. But when the Huskies took the field for their final possession with 1:11 left on the game clock, redshirt freshman K.J. CartaSamuels was at quarterback, and Browning was still on the sidelines. He appeared to be in pain as a trainer tried to stretch his shoulder.

Petersen said he thinks he’ll know more about Browning’s potential availability on Tuesday. But he wouldn’t commit to Carta-Samuels as the starter if Browning can’t play, leaving open the possibility that fourth-year junior Jeff Lindquist might have a chance to start, too.

Lindquist started UW’s 2014 season opener at Hawaii, but has otherwise played sparingly. Carta-Samuels has attempted only three passes this season, the most recent of which was intercepted by Oregon defensive back Ugo Amadi to seal Saturday’s loss.

“I think we’re still kind of looking at that and figuring that out,” Petersen said. “K.J’s kind of been taking some of the 2-reps, but Jeff’s certainly in there, and I think if it comes to that — we’ll kind of find out (Tuesday) exactly where we are — they’re both going to get some pretty healthy reps, I think, if Jake wasn’t going.”

Regardless of who plays quarterback, the Huskies want to get more out of their passing game. In three conference games, they’ve averaged just 5.6 yards per pass attempt — ahead of only Oregon State — and have thrown only two touchdown passes.

“We’re trying to stay balanced and we can’t put it all on our quarterback, can’t put it all on our O-line to passprotect him and those things,” Petersen said. “So we’ve got to pick and choose our spots, and when we get a chance to strike downfield we’ve got to be able to make a play or two.

So we’ll just keep tweaking and analyzing.”

Pac-12 honors Cougars’ Luani Herald news services Washington State junior safety Shalom Luani has been named the Pac-12 Conference Defensive Player of the Week, conference commissioner Larry Scott announced Monday.

Luani recorded a game-high 11 tackles, including eight solo tackles, with two interceptions and a pass break-up in Washington State’s 52-31 win over Oregon State. Luani’s first interception, late in the fourth quarter, was returned 84 yards for a touchdown, WSU’s only points of the second half and the first pick-six for the Cougars since 2013. He added a second interception on Oregon State’s next possession to seal the victory.

Luani has three interceptions in his past two games and is now tied for second in the conference in that category.

It is the first defensive-player-of-the week honor for the Cougars since cornerback Damante Horton earned the award in 2013.

Seahawks fullback Derrick Coleman was involved in a two-car accident last week.

Seahawks to lift Coleman’s suspension

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

RENTON — The Seattle Seahawks are lifting their suspension on fullback Derrick Coleman.

Coleman was involved in a two-car accident last Wednesday evening in Bellevue.

Coleman left the scene of the accident, and he was subsequently arrested under suspicion of vehicular assault and hit and run.

The Seahawks suspended Coleman indefinitely Thursday morning pending further information.

Coleman was released from jail Friday without charges being filed, though the investigation is ongoing.

Seattle head coach Pete Carroll did not have the exact timing of when the suspension would be lifted, but he said he has spoken to Coleman about the incident.

“We did see him,” Carroll said Monday during his press conference at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. “We also have seen the videotapes of his meetings with the police, so we feel like we’re doing the right thing right now.”

Carroll said he did not have any further information about the incident.

Though Coleman is coming off the suspension list, Carroll said he did not know whether Coleman suffered any injuries in the accident that may prevent him from being able to play in this Thursday night’s game at San Francisco. The Bellevue Police Department reported after the arrest that Coleman did not mention sustaining any injuries in the accident.

“He has to clear the doctor’s reports and all that stuff until we know, we don’t know that yet,” Carroll said about Coleman’s availability for Thursday. “He has not been able to see our doctors because he’s been on suspension, he’s seen other doctors.”

Coleman is in his fourth season with the

Seahawks. A standout on special teams, Coleman appeared in each of Seattle’s first five games, starting two. He did not play in Sunday’s 27-23 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Coleman is also notable for being the first legally deaf offensive player to appear in the NFL. Seattle would have to open up a spot on its 53-man roster in order to reinstate Coleman.

Injury update The Seahawks are hoping to get defensive captain Bobby Wagner back for Thursday’s game. Wagner was a game-time decision for Sunday’s game against Carolina because of a strained pectoral muscle, but he was inactive. Carroll said Wagner could have played, but that it would have threatened Wagner’s availability for Thursday.

Carroll also said offensive linemen Patrick Lewis (ankle, knee) and Garry Gilliam (ankle) and receiver Tyler Lockett (hip) all came away with knocks from Sunday’s game that could cause them to miss Thursday’s contest.

Among the others who missed Sunday’s game, cornerback Marcus Burley (thumb) has already been ruled out for Thursday, but cornerback Tye Smith (hip) will be available.

Carroll said a decision has not been made whether receiver Paul Richardson (knee) will be activated from the physically-unable-to-perform list. This is the first week those players are eligible to return, and Richardson has already been declared 100-percent healthy, but the Seahawks haven’t made a decision yet.

The other player on the PUP list, cornerback Jeremy Lane (knee, arm), is not yet ready to return.

Eagles beat Giants 27-7 in sloppy game Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — In a sloppy, ugly game, the Philadelphia Eagles prevailed because they made fewer mistakes.

DeMarco Murray ran for 109 yards and a touchdown, Nolan Carroll returned one of Eli Manning’s two interceptions for a score and the Eagles beat the New York Giants 27-7 Monday night.

Sam Bradford threw for 280 yards and a 32-yard TD pass to Riley Cooper, but had three interceptions to keep New York in the game.

The Eagles (3-3) have won two straight to move from last place in the NFC East into a tie for first with the Giants (3-3). The teams meet again in Week 17.

Neither team looked sharp in front of a prime-time audience. They combined for seven turnovers and 21 penalties.

The Giants gave the Eagles first downs on

a roughing-the-passer penalty and a running-into-the-kicker penalty to keep both of their TD drives going.

Wearing all-black uniforms for the third time in franchise history, the Eagles got off to another slow start.

Manning completed his first 10 passes, including a 13-yard TD pass to Odell Beckham Jr. for a 7-0 lead.

But things went downhill for Manning from there.

The Eagles took a 14-7 lead in the second quarter when Carroll jumped in front of a pass intended for Dwayne Harris and ran it back untouched for his first career TD. After Nikita Whitlock ran into punter Donnie Jones to give Philadelphia a first down at its 28, Murray took over. He had two runs of 11 yards each and finished off the drive with a 12-yard TD run to give Philadelphia a 24-7 lead in the third quarter.

Quarterback commits Washington received an oral commitment Monday from 2016 quarterback prospect Daniel Bridge-Gadd, a 6-foot-1, 201-pound senior at Paradise Valley High School in Phoenix.

Bridge-Gadd is rated as a 2-star prospect by Scout.com and a 3-star prospect by Rivals. He took his official visit to UW this past weekend and attended the Oregon game. He is the 13th known player to commit to the Huskies in the 2016 class.

Late kickoff ... again Washington’s Oct. 31 game against Arizona at Husky Stadium is scheduled for an 8 p.m. kickoff and will air on FOX Sports 1, the Pac-12 announced Monday.

That makes four consecutive start times of 6 p.m. or later for the Huskies — and three consecutive start times of 7:30 p.m. or later.

Extra points Freshman receiver Quinten Pounds, who appeared in three of UW’s first four games, is out for the season due to a knee injury he sustained in practice recently, Petersen said. ... Petersen said that if he had it to do over again, he’d have increased the pace of Washington’s final touchdown drive in the fourth quarter against Oregon. The Huskies used 5 minutes and 22 seconds of game time to complete a 71-yard touchdown drive, and let the play clock tick below 20 seconds with the game clock running on nine different plays. When they finally scored, only 3:35 remained. “Maybe looking back, we take off some shifts and motions to go a little bit quicker in terms of what we can do as coaches to maybe help that along and save a little bit of time,” Petersen said. “But we were conscious of let’s make sure we have our best stuff to get a touchdown here. Or it’s not going to matter what happens after that.” ...

As for the timeout the Huskies called in the third quarter prior to a punt on 4th-and-1 from their 28-yard line, Petersen said: “We didn’t have enough guys on the field. Hindsight, again, probably should’ve taken a 5-yard (delay of game) penalty.”

in his neck — “That gives you a much higher probability that you’re going to walk again, and even to live,” Beal said — and he then underwent nine hours of surgery, during which his C4, C5 and C6 vertebrae were fused.

Mike Hurlbert of Lynden, who owned the racing team Beal was part of, recalls the terrible uncertainty of the next few days.

“It was so bad at first,” he said. “I remember being with him in his hospital room. His lips were really chapped and I remember rubbing ice cubes on them because he couldn’t move.”

But then one day about a week later “he wiggled a toe,” Hurlbert said.

“And the day after that he wiggled a finger.”

“I was starting to get

some feeling back, and then I started to get more,” Beal said. “But it was a lot of hard work (in rehab) to get myself back to being a normal human being again.”

Today there are few lingering effects from his accident, other than a significant sensitivity to heat and cold. “In the winter, if I get cold in my hands and arms it’s kind of painful,” he said. “And if grab something hot, I don’t always recognize that it’s hot.”

Also, he added, “there’s a lot of hardware (i.e., metal plates and screws) in my neck. I actually have a pretty neat x-ray hanging in my house.”

Beal returned to racing in 2005 and competed for the next five years. He then left the sport, largely for career and financial reasons, but decided to return earlier this year. He now competes mostly around the Pacific Northwest.

“I’ve been enjoying it and I’ve been successful, and now I’m collecting people back into my support network,” he said, referring to sponsors.

These days racing is mostly a hobby for Beal, who owns two Snohomish farms — Woodland Meadow Farms and Dairyland — where guests can buy chickens, eggs, hops and Christmas trees, and hold special events such as weddings. He is also a landscaping contractor.

But through it all, his love for racing motorcycles is undiminished.

“At this point in my career, I’m 10 years older than everybody else on the track that’s competing at my level,” he said. “I’ve also been injured and there’s a lot of other things that have happened in my life to this point. But I’m doing it because I want to do it, and I still go out there with a smile on my face.”
