Wanted: The power to ping State Sen. John McCoy used his iPad to track the crook who stole his iPhone. He now hopes the experience will help him pass a law allowing police to do the same thing. By Eric Stevick Herald Writer
TULALIP — A burglary at his home earlier this month has strengthened a state lawmaker’s resolve to let police more quickly track cellphone signals to catch crooks and look for people whose lives might be in danger. Sen. John McCoy got a
firsthand demonstration of how the power of pinging cellphone towers can combat crime. On July 13, someone broke into his Tulalip home. Early that morning, the burglar stole keys, McCoy’s iPhone, and a rental car parked in the garage. The couple was home at the time, but didn’t hear the intruder. McCoy called Tulalip police.
When an officer arrived, McCoy used an iPad to electronically track the whereabouts of the missing phone. He relayed to a Tul- Sen.

The Tulalip cellphones. officer, in turn, contacted police from other agencies. State law prevented the officers from pinging the phone on
their own and without a warrant, McCoy said. “I kept them updated because they couldn’t do it” without jeopardizing the investigation, McCoy said. The suspect, 35, was stopped and arrested in north Everett within three hours of the break-in. Based on information relayed from cellphone towers, it appeared the burglar took an illegal U-turn on U.S. 2, drove to See Ping, back page, this section
Poof goes the squirrel — and your electricity
EVERETT — Trouble at a substation in Everett cut power last month to about 7,000 homes.

the system vulnerable to outages, said Christoph Enderlein, PUD’s manager of environmental affairs. “Whether it’s a squirrel or a bird, it’s very unfortunate for the wildlife and an undesired outcome. We absolutely care because it also shows a vulnerability to the reliability of the system,” Enderlein said.

Outages caused by wildlife generally don’t last as long as when equipment is damaged by downed tree or power poles are knocked over by a car. A wildlifecaused outage may mean just locating the unfortunate animal and removing it from the equipment. Since 2001, the public utility has spent about $487,000 on wildlife protection, spokesman Neil Neroutsos said. It’s critical to address conflicts with wildlife, obviously to protect the animals and birds but also because the district doesn’t want
Jobs have dropped by about 20,000 since the late 1990s, but the state’s share of Boeing’s total workforce has grown.
EVERETT — Depending on how you measure it, Boeing has expanded or contracted in Washington since the late 1990s. Back then it had more than 100,000 workers in the state, about 20,000 more than it has now. But Washington has grown as a share of Boeing’s total workforce from about 43 percent in 1998 to 48 percent this year, according to The Daily Herald’s analysis of company employment records. After merging with McDonnell Douglas in 1997, Boeing shed nearly 90,000 jobs by August 2005. Contributing factors included fallout from the merger and a decline in demand for commercial airliners after the 9/11 attacks. Washington bottomed out in mid-2004 with 52,763 Boeing jobs in the state. Since then Boeing employment here has climbed to 81,724 as of June. About half those workers are at the company’s Everett facility, where it assembles its twin-aisle jetliners. Boeing’s Washington workforce has even expanded since the company set up a second 787 assembly plant in North Charleston, South Carolina. Since that facility began limited production in July 2011, Boeing has added nearly 3,000 jobs here. In recent years, though, no state has added more Boeing jobs than South Carolina — 8,359 as of June, according to the company. And California and Kansas have lost the most. After the McDonnell Douglas merger, Boeing had about 42,000 jobs in California. It has 18,394 now, which is closer to the company’s premerger total. Boeing is expected to cut more jobs in California next year as it ends production of the C-17, a military cargo airplane developed by McDonnell Douglas. Those job losses are being

Former Seattle Mayor Paul Schell dies Associated Press SEATTLE — Former Seattle Mayor Paul Schell, who led the city during the World Trade Organization protests in 1999, has died. He was 76. Schell died Sunday morning at a Seattle hospital surrounded by family, according to Mayor Ed Murray’s office. “Paul will be greatly missed. He was truly committed to the people of Seattle, working to improve the city both as an elected official and private citizen. He was dedicated to the lives of the people of this city, evidenced by his countless contributions and the legacy he built here,” Murray said in a statement.
Barry SWeeT / aSSociaTed PreSS
Seattle Mayor Paul Schell led the city’s government from 1998 to 2002. He died Sunday at the age of 76.
Murray described Schell as one of the city’s great “builders.” Under Schell, Seattle approved funding to build the world-renowned downtown library. He also led
efforts for the first parks levy and played a key role in constructing the Olympic Sculpture Park and the City Hall. He championed the arts and began a massive effort
to draft plans for all 37 neighborhoods. Schell, the city’s 50th mayor, served one term as mayor from 1998 to 2002 before losing a re-election bid to Greg Nickels. His one term was marred with street clashes. The city’s response to the WTO protests was heavily criticized and led to the resignation of the police Chief Norm Stamper. The city was also sued by dozens of the protesters, eventually settling. In 2001, a riot broke out during Mardi Gras in Seattle’s Pioneer Square, leaving one man dead and scores assaulted. Schell is survived by Pam, his wife of 51 years, and his daughter, Jamie.
Ronstadt, Obama childhood crush, receives arts medal By Sarah Kaplan The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — Linda Ronstadt remained composed as she walked up to claim her National Medal of Arts at a White House ceremony Monday afternoon. After all, she’s no stranger to the stage. Even when President Barack Obama whispered something to her as he put the medal around her neck — that he’d had a “little crush” on her when he was younger — the pop singer just smiled. She’s probably heard that before, too. Obama had a secret for each of the 22 recipients of the National Medal of Arts and National Humanities Medal: He brought author Maxine Hong Kingston close to tears when he told her he’d used her memoir, “The Woman Warrior,” as a

model for his own. They weren’t secrets by the end of the East Room ceremony. The president
shared with the crowd what he’d told some honorees, as he spoke about his personal connection to their work.
The medals, which are given by the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment
for the Humanities, are touted as the highest honors given by the U.S. government to artists, arts patrons, scholars and critics in their fields. They are lifetime achievement awards, intended to recognize the ways that recipients’ art and scholarship “enriched our lives and revealed something about ourselves and our country,” Obama said. There was enthusiastic applause, but no cheering, as Obama placed medals around the awardees’ necks. Instead, it was apparent where each recipients’ fans were sitting based on where in the crowd a cluster of iPhone screens shot into the air for a photograph as they walked toward the president. Along with Ronstadt and Kingston, the arts medal was awarded to poet and novelist Julia Alvarez; Chicago arts patron Joan Harris;
dancer and choreographer Bill T. Jones; composer John Kander; DreamWorks Animation chief executive Jeffrey Katzenberg; documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles; New York architects Billie Tsien and Tod Williams; and Arizona artist James Turrell. The humanities medal recognizes scholarship, criticism and other contributions to history, language, literature and philosophy. In addition to Rehm, the NEH awarded medals to literary critic M.H. Abrams; historians David Brion Davis, Darlene Clark Hine and Anne Firor Scott; William Theodore de Bary, an expert in East Asian studies; architect Johnpaul Jones; documentary filmmaker Stanley Nelson; and Krista Tippett, host of the public radio show “On Being.”

Vehicular homicide charged in 2013 crash Shawn Wilburn was high and drunk at the time of a Highway 529 crash that killed a Mukilteo man. By Diana Hefley Herald Writer
EVERETT — A Bellevue man is now charged with vehicular homicide for what investigators say was a drug- and alcoholfueled crash on Highway 529 last
year. Shawn Wilburn, 55, reportedly told detectives he got lost driving his friend to a hospital after the man apparently overdosed on heroin. Prosecutors allege that Wilburn was high and drunk at the time of the crash.
Kyle Finch, 26, was ejected from Wilburn’s sport utility vehicle June 23, 2013, after it struck a guardrail and rolled several times. The Ford Explorer eventually slid down an embankment and crashed into some trees. Snohomish County’s medical examiner, Dr. Norman Thiersch, concluded that Finch died from head injuries sustained in the crash. The forensic pathologist
said he was reasonably certain that Finch, of Mukilteo, didn’t die of a drug overdose prior to being thrown from the vehicle, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Tobin Darrow wrote. Wilburn reportedly told police that he suspected Finch used heroin while Wilburn was inside Burger King on Broadway in Everett. He said he noticed that Finch was unresponsive. Wilburn said
he tried to drive Finch to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett but became lost. The hospital is about nine blocks north of the fast food restaurant. Witnesses reported seeing Wilburn drive erratically on northbound Highway 529, swerving in and out of traffic. He drove on the shoulder at times, See charged, Page A4

A roundabout at the busy Five Corners intersection in Edmonds is scheduled for completion in October.
Bringing order to Five Corners Roundabout is perfect for busy Edmonds intersection, official says By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer
EDMONDS — The city is getting its first — and perhaps its only — roundabout with a $2.9 million project that’s expected to be completed in October. The roundabout is being constructed at Five Corners, the intersection where Main Street, 84th Avenue W., 212th Street SW, and Bowdoin Way converge. It’s an ideal place to install the roundabout, and should reduce traffic delays at the intersection, said Phil Williams, the city’s public works director. Now, there’s a stop sign at each corner. “You’re looking at four people pointing (their cars) at you and thinking whose turn is it now?” he said. “There’s a lot
of hesitations.” The roundabout is expected to decrease congestion at the intersection and increase safety, he said. Pedestrians should feel safer crossing the intersection, with designated crosswalks. “The roundabout really does make it very clear where the pedestrians and where the cars are supposed to be,” Williams said. Talk of installing a roundabout at an intersection now used by 16,000 vehicles a day dates back to 1996, Williams said. It has been included in city planning documents since at least 2009. Nevertheless, when construction actually got under way in May, some people were surprised. Flaggers are posted at the intersection to help with
traffic on weekdays, but in the evenings and on weekends, drivers must simply stop at each of the five corners and look for safe passage. The project also involves installation of underground power lines, a new water main and storm water pipes. While construction work is under way, 84th Avenue W. is temporarily closed. Access is provided to area businesses. The street is scheduled to reopen on Aug. 4 if there are no further rain delays. A federal grant which provides money for projects that reduce congestion and improve air quality paid for 86 percent of the costs of the roundabout project. Some steps, such as installation of storm and sewer lines the city wanted to replace, didn’t qualify
for the grant. Williams said many people may think the city already has a roundabout at the downtown intersection of Fifth Avenue and Main Street. But with its small design and stop signs at each corner, that doesn’t qualify as a roundabout. “It’s a lovely intersection but it isn’t a roundabout,” Williams said. The installation of the city’s first roundabout may be its last. “I’m not sure where else in town it would make good sense to build one,” he said. “There’s a couple spots where people could build a mini-roundabout, but not a full-sized modern roundabout.” Sharon Salyer: 425-339-3486 or salyer@heraldnet.com
Rep. Dave Hayes, R-Camano Island, faces three challengers in his bid to keep a seat in the Washington State House of Representatives. Republican Brien Lillquist and Democrats Nick Petrish and David Sponheim hope to win enough votes to displace Hayes, who is wrapping up his first term in office. The four are vying for the second House seat in the state’s 10th Legislative District. The district covers Island County and part of Skagit and Snohomish counties, including Stanwood, Mount Vernon, Oak Harbor and Langley. Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, holds the district’s other House seat. She is running against Libertarian Michael Scott. For each race, the two candidates with the most votes in the Aug. 5 primary election, regardless of party, advance to the Nov. 4 general election. Hayes, Lillquist, Petrish and Sponheim largely agree on which issues are key for the state Legislature: education, transportation, safety and spending. However, they differ in the order of their priorities and how they hope to provide services while cutting costs.

Insurance agent allegedly passed off own DNA as client’s By Rikki King Herald Writer

MUKILTEO — A former Mukilteo State Farm insurance agent had her license revoked by the state in June after investigators found that she’d committed a number of ethical violations, including submitting her own DNA sample and pretending it was a client’s. Jaime Sue Joyner, 37, left the insurance business in 2010, and
let her license lapse the following year. The license was formally revoked in June as the state Insurance Commissioner’s Office investigation wrapped up. The office reviews complaints of insurance license violations in light of state laws. Joyner did not appeal the agency’s findings, spokeswoman Kara Klotz said Monday.

checks for gun owners, but not limits on the type of gun or ammunition they can own if they pass. He hopes to fund education and infrastructure by closing tax loopholes for corporations and trust fund beneficiaries, and by establishing “clawbacks” on tax breaks for big businesses, meaning the business would have to return the money if it failed to follow through on promises to the state. He would also support an increase in the state sales tax. Sponheim, on the other hand, is against upping taxes. He calls himself a fiscal conservative and social liberal. Though the 54-yearold identified himself as a Democrat for the Aug. 5 primary, he heads up his own political party: America’s Third Party. He’s attempted several write-in campaigns for the U.S. presidency, most recently in 2012. He plans to try again in 2016. In the meantime, he wants to serve closer to home, he said. Sponheim said his first priority if elected would be clearing the way for more recreational marijuana shops and lowering taxes on marijuana, which he said is significantly overpriced. He also wants to eliminate septic system
inspection requirements that can be costly for homeowners in the 10th district. Sponheim, who previously worked in advertising, participates in online videos promoting America’s Third Party. A 2008 video in which he used blackface to parody Barack Obama has created some backlash during the current election. In a response to the video earlier this year, Sponheim said he “couldn’t have done it in white-face.” “I think my First Amendment rights are paramount,” Sponheim said in an interview with The Herald last week. “If anyone accuses me of being too vocal or anything else, I think they need to look at what this country was built on.” Sponheim failed to verify his campaign’s financial information with the state’s Public Disclosure Commission on time. He has until Aug. 7 to submit the information along with a statement of understanding and a $100 fine, according to the PDC. Hayes has raised $50,517.65 for his campaign, according to reports filed with the state. Petrish has raised $1,925, and Lillquist has not raised any money.

according to court papers. One driver said Wilburn’s “eyes looked bulging. He looked like a cartoon character rather than a person.” She said he had a “death grip” on the steering wheel. Witnesses reported seeing the Explorer hit a guardrail and flip multiple times. Motorists saw Finch ejected from the vehicle. An off-duty paramedic and Snohomish County sheriff’s deputy found Wilburn in the SUV. They reported that he reeked of alcohol. A paramedic gave Wilburn NarCan, an antinarcotic medication, and reported that he responded well to the medication. Once at the hospital, doctors reported that Wilburn appeared under the
influence of drugs. A detective wrote in his report that Wilburn fell asleep midsentence and did not seem bothered by his obvious injuries. Tests revealed that Wilburn’s blood alcohol was over the legal limit, court papers said. He also tested positive for morphine, which can be attributed to how the body metabolizes heroin. A Burger King employee told detectives that she saw an SUV parked near the restaurant’s garbage cans on the day of the crash. She heard the driver yelling at the passenger to wake up. She also saw him strike the passenger, who was slumped in his seat. Wilburn reportedly told police he was angry at himself for not calling 911 for Finch.

3 jailed for blocking tracks to Anacortes oil refinery Associated Press ANACORTES — The Skagit County Sheriff’s Office says three oil-train protesters have been arrested for blocking the railroad tracks at the Tesoro refinery near Anacortes. About two dozen people were taking part in the demonstration Monday morning when deputies arrived. Most agreed to leave, but three remained locked to each other on the tracks. The sheriff’s office says they ultimately unlocked
themselves and were arrested for criminal trespass. Emily Johnston, a spokeswoman for the protesters, identified the three as 62-year-old Annette Klapstein, a retired lawyer from Bainbridge Island; 28-year-old Adam Gaya, of Seattle; and 60-year-old Jan Woodruff, of Anacortes. Johnston says the derailment last Thursday in Seattle of a train carrying volatile Bakken oil from North Dakota to the refinery highlighted the dangers of shipping the oil by rail.
percent contained as of Monday. Incident spokesman Jim Schwarber said the fire perimeter was mostly stable from Winthrop to Carlton. The rising temperatures have produced isolated smoke around the area, but none of it was attributed to a new fire or a blaze outside the perimeter. Crews continue to respond to concerns from area residents, putting out hot spots when they are called. However, officials cautioned that the fire is not out yet and increased activity will be noticeable as the days get hotter. Schwarber said nearby residents will see plumes of smoke “probably until snow flies this fall.” In fires of this size, there are isolated spots that haven’t burned, he said. Those may catch fire as the ground continues to smolder. Those fires are not worrisome because they start within the fire’s perimeter, he said.

OLYMPIA— State Sen. Pam Roach will reimburse Washington more than $4,500 for mileage she charged to pick up mail at a post office box where she received both legislative and campaign mail, a newspaper reported. Roach, a Republican from Auburn, charged taxpayers for hundreds of trips since 2009 to pick up mail at the Auburn post office box 22 miles from her rural home, The Seattle Times reported Saturday. Roach told Senate administrators in an email that she rented the box 25 years ago because her mail had been stolen from her home mailbox. In response, Senate Secretary Hunter Goodman said the chamber’s rules clearly prohibit the mingling of campaign and official state business. “I can certainly appreciate your frustration,” Goodman wrote. “However, once you used your office funds to pay for the post office box, that box became entirely off-limits for campaign use.” Last week, Roach refunded additional expenses totaling more
than $900 for Senate-purchased cellphones she used partly for campaigning, an accidental double charge for mileage for a trip to Oregon, and rental fees for the post office box. Senate attorney Keith Buchholz praised Roach for being “direct and responsive” in resolving the issues, noting that Roach was saving taxpayers $5,000 a year by not maintaining a district office in Auburn. “Had she maintained the office in Auburn, the question of mileage reimbursement would likely not be an issue today,” he said. Roach complained that the Senate had not caught the discrepancies and alerted her to the problems earlier. “We cannot catch everything,” Roach wrote in an email to Buchholz, which was copied to reporters. “And, it is not good policy to rely on political campaigns to find things, as you suggest.” Allies of Enumclaw Rep. Cathy Dahlquist have raised the expenses as an issue in the Senate’s 31st District primary race between the two Republicans.

SEATTLE — Firefighters battling Washington’s largest wildfire have been able to keep the blaze from threatening more homes, but rising temperatures this week will make their job harder, officials said Monday. Temperatures for central and eastern Washington are expected to be scorching this week, with some areas hitting triple digits Monday. It will be even hotter Tuesday. But amid the heat, there’s a bit of good news: wind isn’t a major factor in the forecast. “If we continue to heat up and dry out, it’ll dry out more fuels, but we don’t have the winds that may spread them or cause a new fire,” said Ty Judd, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Spokane office. Fueled by dry conditions and wind gusts, the Carlton Complex fire has torn through 390 square miles in north-central Washington, leaving 300 homes destroyed in the Pateros and Brewster area and throughout the Methow Valley. Officials said the fire was 66

Netanyahu warns of long war By Karin Laub And Tia Goldenberg
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Israeli forces’ flares light up the night sky of Gaza City on Tuesday. A truce between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza remained elusive as diplomats sought to end the fighting at the start of the Eid al-Fitr holiday, marking the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
in the Shati refugee camp on the outskirts of Gaza City. Each side blamed the other. Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, an Israeli military spokesman, said the explosion was caused when a rocket launched by Gaza militants misfired and landed in the park. Palestinian police and civil defense said an Israeli missile hit as children were playing on a swing set. “The children were playing and were happy, enjoying Eid, and they got hit,” said Nidal Aljerbi, a witness. After three weeks of bloodshed, both Israel and Hamas are holding out for bigger gains and a cease-fire remains elusive, despite an appeal by the U.N. Security Council and growing pressure from the United States. Israel says its troops will not leave Gaza until they have demolished scores of Hamas military tunnels under the Gaza-Israel border that militants use to infiltrate Israel and smuggle weapons. Hamas
says it will not cease fire until it receives international guarantees Gaza’s 7-year-old border blockade by Egypt and Israel will be lifted. Netanyahu defended the Gaza air and ground offensive, saying in a televised speech Monday that “there is no war more just than this.” Israel has said it is defending its citizens against attack from Gaza by hitting Hamas rocket launchers, weapons storage sites and military tunnels. However, there is growing U.S. frustration with the mounting number of Palestinian casualties — at least 1,072 killed and 6,450 wounded since July 8, the vast majority civilians, according to Hamas health officials. The Israeli military says 52 soldiers have been killed, including four killed Monday in a mortar attack on southern Israel. Two Israeli civilians and a Thai citizen working in Israel also have been killed. The Obama administration pushed back Monday against a
torrent of Israeli criticism over Secretary of State John Kerry’s latest bid to secure a cease-fire with Hamas, accusing some in Israel of launching a “misinformation campaign” against the top American diplomat. Israel had accepted an Egyptian call for an unconditional cease-fire early in its Gaza campaign, but Hamas rejected the idea. Netanyahu said that Israel won’t end its offensive until Hamas’ network of tunnels under the Gaza-Israel border has been neutralized. “We need to be ready for a prolonged campaign,” he said. “We will continue to act aggressively and responsibly until the mission is completed to protect our citizens, soldiers and children.” Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri responded defiantly. “His threats do not scare Hamas or the Palestinian people, and the occupation will pay the price for the massacres against civilians and children,” he said.
Drone endangers Calif. firefighter planes face rising tem>> Crews peratures Tuesday in the
By Fenit Nirappil And Sudhin Thanawala Associated Press
SHINGLE SPRINGS, Calif. — A private drone trying to record footage of a Northern California wildfire nearly hindered efforts to attack the flames from the air, but firefighters made enough progress to allow some of the 1,200 people under evacuation orders to return home Monday. An unmanned aircraft that aimed to get video of the blaze burning near vineyards in the Sierra Nevada foothills east of Sacramento was sighted Sunday, two days after the fire broke out, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokeswoman Lynne Tolmachoff said. Authorities told the man controlling the drone to stop it from flying because of the potential danger to firefighting planes. The man, whom Tolmachoff did not identify, was not cited. “This is the first one that I’m aware of,” she said. “These unmanned aircraft are becoming very popular with people,

and there’s a possibility we will see more of them.” Crews held the fire to a little under 6 square miles overnight, increasing containment to 65 percent, state fire Battalion Chief Scott McLean said. Some of the evacuations were lifted Monday morning, but McLean did not immediately know how many people were allowed to return to their homes. “We’re not going to get
complacent, but it’s looking very good,” he said. The fire has destroyed 13 homes and 38 other structures near wine-growing regions in Amador and El Dorado counties since it started Friday, as it burns in rugged grassland and timber. Some grapevines did burn, but crews were able to keep the fire from spreading to the main grape-growing area, Tolmachoff said.
The Sierra foothills fire is one of two in California that has forced people from their homes, underscoring the state’s heightened fire danger this year after three years of drought created tinder-dry conditions. The other fire about 100 miles away had burned through a little more than 4 square miles of brush and trees in Yosemite National Park, the neighboring Stanislaus National Forest and private land as of Monday morning. It grew by about 500 acres overnight and was 5 percent contained. The park itself — home to such sites as Half Dome mountain, Yosemite Meadows, a grove of Giant Sequoia trees and other wonders — remained open, and none of its treasures was threatened. Wildfires also burned in other Western states, including Washington, Oregon and Colorado.
New fears about Ebola spread after plane scare By Krista Larson And Maria Cheng Associated Press
DAKAR, Senegal — No one knows for sure just how many people Patrick Sawyer came into contact with the day he boarded a flight in Liberia, had a stopover in Ghana, changed planes in Togo, and then arrived in Nigeria, where authorities say he died days later from Ebola, one of the deadliest diseases known to man. Now health workers are scrambling to trace those who may have been exposed
Miami: No border kids to be sent to Guantanamo The Obama administration has no plans to use its pop-up tent city for Caribbean migrants at Guantanamo to help ameliorate the Texas border crisis of unaccompanied children crossing the border from Central America. In 2007, the Bush White House invested more than $17 million building an infrastructure to shelter 10,000 migrants on the Leeward side of the remote U.S. Navy base in Cuba. But Monday, White House deputy press secretary Shawn Turner said in response to a query from the Miami Herald that using Guantanamo is not a possibility. The Associated Press reported Monday that more than 57,000 children and other migrants have crossed the border since October, mostly from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Signaling an escalation of Israel’s Gaza operation, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Israelis Monday to be ready for a “prolonged” war, and the military warned Palestinians in three large neighborhoods to leave their homes and head immediately for Gaza City. The warnings came on a day of heavy Hamas-Israeli fighting in which nine children were killed by a strike on a Gaza park where they were playing, according to Palestinian health officials — a tragedy that each side blamed on the other. Israeli tanks also resumed heavy shelling in border areas of Gaza, killing five people, including three children and a 70-year-old woman, and wounding 50 in the town of Jebaliya, which was among the areas warned to evacuate, the Red Crescent said. Many Jebaliya residents said they did not dare attempt an escape. Sufian Abed Rabbo said his extended family of 17 had taken refuge under the stairway in their home. “God help us. We have nothing to do but pray,” the 27-year-old told The Associated Press by phone. “I don’t know who left and who stayed, but in our street, we are all very scared to move.” Later Monday, Israeli forces fired a large numbers of flares over Gaza City, turning the night sky a bright orange. The latest bloodshed came despite mounting international calls for a cease-fire and followed failed attempts by both sides to agree to even a lull in fighting of several hours for the start of the three-day Muslim holiday of Eid el-Fitr that marks the end of Ramadan. The Hamas-run health ministry said 10 people, including nine children under the age of 12, were killed and 46 wounded in the blast at a park

to Sawyer across West Africa, including flight attendants and fellow passengers. Health experts say it is unlikely he could have infected others with the virus that can cause victims to bleed from the eyes, mouth and ears. Still, unsettling questions remain: How could a man whose sister recently died from Ebola manage to board a plane leaving the country? And worse: Could Ebola become the latest disease to be spread by international air travel? Sawyer’s death on Friday has led to tighter screening of airline
passengers in West Africa, where an unprecedented outbreak that emerged in March has killed more than 670 people in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. But some health authorities expressed little confidence in such precautions. “The best thing would be if people did not travel when they were sick, but the problem is people won’t say when they’re sick. They will lie in order to travel,” said Dr. David Heymann, professor of infectious diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. The World Health
Organization is awaiting laboratory confirmation after Nigerian health authorities said Sawyer tested positive for Ebola, WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl said. The risk of travelers contracting Ebola is considered low because it requires direct contact with bodily fluids or secretions such as urine, blood, sweat or saliva, experts say. Ebola can’t be spread like flu through casual contact or breathing in the same air. Patients are contagious only once the disease has progressed to the point they show symptoms, according to the WHO.
Utah: FBI defends search for Oklahoma bombing video The FBI found no evidence that more videos of the Oklahoma City bombing exist, agency employees told a judge Monday in a trial that has rekindled questions about whether any others were involved in the 1995 attack. Additional searches for videos that Salt Lake City lawyer Jesse Trentadue believes are being withheld would be burdensome and fruitless, according to the FBI. Trentadue says the agency is refusing to release videos that show a second person was with Timothy McVeigh when he parked a truck outside the Oklahoma City federal building and detonated a bomb that killed 168 people. The government says McVeigh was alone. Trentadue believes the presence of a second suspect explains why his brother, Kenneth Trentadue, was flown to Oklahoma several months after the bombing, where he died in a federal holding cell. Kenneth Trentadue bore a striking resemblance to a police sketch of the enigmatic suspect “John Doe No. 2,” who was never identified.

AROUND THE WORLD Russia: Missile treaty violated, says Obama
The Obama administration has determined that Russia violated a 1987 treaty on intermediate-range missiles by testing a ground-launched cruise missile, a senior administration official said. The violation, which began some years ago, is included in a 2014 compliance report on the treaty to be released Tuesday and was the subject of a letter President Barack Obama sent Monday to Russian President Vladimir Putin. “This is a very serious matter which we have attempted to address with Russia for some time now,” the official said. “We encourage Russia to return to compliance with its obligations . . . and to eliminate any prohibited items in a verifiable manner.” It was unclear how long the testing lasted, or whether it was ongoing. The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that “we have notified Russia of our determination and are prepared to discuss this in a senior-level bilateral dialogue immediately.”

FAA asks $12M fine on SW Airlines An Everett contractor’s repairs to Boeing 737s were deemed noncompliant. By Joan Lowy Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday it is proposing a $12 million civil fine against Southwest Airlines for failing to comply with safety regulations related to repairs on Boeing 737 jetliners. It is the second-largest fine the agency has proposed against an airline. The largest proposed fine was against American Airlines for $24.2 million in August 2010. That one was ultimately settled for $24.9 million as part of American’s bankruptcy proceedings, although the final settlement included other safety violations not part of the original proposal. The FAA said that beginning in 2006 Southwest made “extreme makeover” alterations to eliminate potential cracking of the aluminum skin on 44 jetliners. An FAA investigation determined that
Southwest’s contractor, Aviation Technical Services Inc. of Everett, Washington, failed to follow proper procedures for replacing the fuselage as well as other work on the planes, the agency said. All of the work was done under the supervision of Southwest, which was responsible for seeing that it was done properly, the FAA said. Southwest, which is based in Dallas, then returned the planes to service in 2009 and began flying them even after the FAA “put the airline on notice that these aircraft were not in compliance” with safety regulations, the agency said. During its investigation, the FAA also found that Aviation Technical Services’ workers applied sealant beneath the new skin panels but did not install fasteners in all of the rivet holes fast enough for the sealant to be effective. “This could have resulted in gaps between the skin and the surface to which it was being mounted. Such gaps could allow moisture to penetrate the skin and lead to corrosion,” FAA said. The contractor also failed to follow requirements to properly

place the planes on jacks and shore them up while the work was being performed, the FAA said. If a plane is shored improperly during skin replacement, the airframe could shift and lead to subsequent problems with the new skin. The FAA also said that Southwest failed to properly install a ground wire on water drain masts on two of its Boeing 737s in
response to a safety order aimed at preventing lightning strikes. The planes were each operated on more than 20 passenger flights after Southwest Airlines became aware of the discrepancies but before the airline corrected the problem, the agency said. “The FAA views maintenance See FAA, Page A8

Everett man admits role in bribery scheme ST. LOUIS — The owner of an Everett manufacturing company pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges, the fourth person to admit to a role in a bribery and kickback scheme involving military aircraft parts sold to The Boeing Co.

Zillow to buy online rival Trulia Combined, the company will become the web’s biggest real estate player By Mae Anderson Associated Press
NEW YORK — Zillow and Trulia, two companies that changed the way people shop for homes, are combining. Real estate website operator Zillow Inc. is buying its rival in a $3.5 billion deal that will make the biggest player in the online real estate information market. Zillow will also become king of real estate listings available on smartphones and tablets — the fastest growing area for listings.
Both Zillow and Trulia were founded nearly a decade ago and have capitalized on Americans’ increasing preference for researching purchases, including homes, online, rather than relying solely on a real estate agent. “It’s a very sound business move by Zillow. They wiped out their closest competitor,” said Benchmark analyst Daniel Kurnos. According to Benchmark estimates, Zillow and Trulia are No. 1 and 2 in the online real estate market, followed by No. 3 Move Inc. Zillow reported nearly 83 million monthly unique visitors in June. Trulia reported 54 million. “We’re moving away from word
of mouth, or calling an agent to try to find a home,” Kurnos said. “Now people realize, ‘Hey, I can go look for houses online, and use the Internet to start searching for a home.”’ Zillow, which debuted in late 2004, became well known for its “Zestimate” housing price estimate for 100 million homes nationwide. The number is based on geographic data, user-submitted information and public records. Zillow says the “Zestimate” has a 6.9 percent median error rate, and should be used as a starting point in determining a home’s value. Both Zillow, which went public in 2011, and Trulia, which had its stock market debut in 2012,

China poised as rare earth patent ends Bloomberg News
biz bits
SHANGHAI — Some Chinese producers of rare-earth magnets are seeking to use this month’s expiration of a key patent held by Hitachi Metals to expand exports of the micro devices used in products from motors to smartphones. The expiration of a 17-year-old patent that defines the structure of such magnets paves the way for previously blocked Chinese
producers to sell to U.S. customers, said Sun Baoyu, chairman of Shenyang General Magnetic Co. It’s formed an alliance with six Chinese producers to promote their products and fight Hitachi over other patents, that the Japanese company says largely prevent rivals from making magnets. “Hitachi’s whole patent package’s base is this ingredient patent,” said Li Weifeng, a Shanghai-based analyst with Everbright
People Edmonds Community College has announced the appointment of Dean Kim Chapman, who will oversee the Humanities and Social Sciences divisions. Chapman plans to have a strong focus on collaboration, conflict resolution and student advocacy.
Securities Co. It is a “very basic” patent for the magnets, he said. The end of the patent will pit the seven producers in the alliance and potentially others who try to tap into the market against Hitachi and eight Chinese companies that have paid for the right to make and ship the magnet. An increase in exporters of the magnets could cut prices of the product used in Apple’s iPhones and Toyota hybrid-electric cars.
Chapman had worked at North Seattle Community College for 12 years. Everett Community College has hired Alison Stevens as the college’s new executive vice president of instruction and student services. Stevens, of Seattle, has more than 27 years of higher education
experience. Prior to EvCC, she served as the interim vice president for Academic and Student Affairs at Shoreline Community College. Stevens replaces Sandra Fowler-Hill. The Assistance League of Everett recently installed Donna Day to lead the organization through the next fiscal year.
Hitachi holds more than 600 patents for rare-earth magnets globally, some of which it acquired after taking over Sumitomo Special Metals Co. in the 2000s, said spokesman Akio Minami. “The company considers it’s almost impossible for other companies to commercially manufacture the magnets if avoiding all of our patent network,” said See PATENT, Page A8
Day, a longtime Everett resident, joined the organization in 2004 and has held various positions over the past decade. The league is an all-volunteer organization whose members help children, teens and adults in Snohomish County. Biz Bits runs Monday through Saturday.

Big Macs and more in Kremlin’s crosshairs Two of the United States’ biggest burger chains have become the latest targets of Kremlin wrath, with McDonald’s fast-food offerings under the political microscope for alleged impurities and Wendy’s driven out of Russia altogether by deteriorating collaboration with the host country. McDonald’s was hit with a lawsuit last week by food regulators in Novgorod who alleged the fast-food giant had misrepresented the fat content and nutritional values of its cheeseburgers and other items. On Monday, Wendy’s announced it was leaving the Russian market after three years because of apparent discord with its local partners. From Herald news services

Gov’t can deter corporate tax evasion, ex-official says By Richard Rubin Bloomberg News
WA S H I N G T O N — The Treasury Department should use immediate stopgap regulations to make offshore transactions known as corporate inversions less lucrative, said the department’s former top international tax lawyer. The administration can unilaterally limit inverted companies from taking interest deductions in the U.S. or from accessing their foreign cash without paying U.S. taxes, Stephen Shay said in an interview and in an article published Monday in Tax Notes. “If you take away the incentives, a large portion of these deals would not happen because they are indeed tax-motivated,” said Shay, who left the Obama administration in 2011 and is now a professor at Harvard Law School.
Companies including Medtronic and AbbVie have pending inversion transactions in which they purchase a smaller foreign company and then move the combined corporation’s legal address outside the U.S. In most cases, companies barely change their operations and don’t move their executives. The administration has been pressing Congress for retroactive action to make it harder for companies to invert and insisting that Treasury can’t act on its own. Congress is deadlocked on the issue and is set to leave Washington late this week for a fiveweek recess. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew has said the government can’t address inversions without legislation. “Our tax system should not reward U.S. companies for giving up their U.S.
citizenship, and unless we tackle this problem, these transactions will continue,” Lew said in an article in The Washington Post published Sunday. “I call on Congress to close this loophole and pass anti-inversion legislation as soon as possible.” Last week, President Barack Obama described the companies as “corporate deserters” who take advantage of the U.S. legal framework and government programs without paying their fair share of taxes. “The vast majority of American businesses play by the rules,” the president said in Los Angeles July 24. “But these companies are cherry-picking the rules. And it damages the country’s finances.” Unlike proposed legislation from the administration and congressional Democrats, Shay is focusing more on
the benefits companies receive after an inversion than on limits that prevent a company from moving its legal address offshore. “I view it as a stopgap” until Congress acts, he said. “It’s a stopgap that may have to last a long time.” Interest deductions in the U.S. are attractive to inverted companies because of the difference between the 35 percent U.S. corporate tax rate and lower rates in other countries. Adding debt to the U.S. subsidiary that remains after an inversion reduces U.S. taxable income and effectively shifts the income to a lower-taxed jurisdiction. “We shouldn’t make it advantageous to be a foreign-owned business in the United States,” said Bret Wells, a former corporate tax lawyer who is a professor at the University of Houston. “We shouldn’t
treat those companies better than our U.S. multinational firms. And under the current rules, we do.” The practice of reducing U.S. income is known as “earnings stripping,” and a 2007 Treasury Department study said that inverted companies engage in it. Limits on interest deductions have gained attention in Congress, and Democratic Senator Charles Schumer of New York has said he plans to introduce a bill that would limit U.S. interest deductions for companies that underwent an inversion. Shay said the Treasury Department could issue regulations that characterize some of inverted companies’ new U.S. debt as equity, which would prevent companies from taking the full deduction. In his article, he cited several sections of the U.S. tax code that he said provide
the Treasury with regulatory authority. He said he’d limit companies from accessing foreign earnings that haven’t been repatriated and taxed by the U.S. Medtronic, for example, which is merging with Covidien, plans to use a loan of its offshore earnings to finance the deal. Limits on interest won’t necessarily stop inversions, because companies would still see benefits from lighter taxes on future earnings and the greater ability to use them globally, said Charles Kolstad, counsel at Venable LLP in Los Angeles. “You’re going to continue to see inversions done until Congress does something,” Kolstad said. “The only thing that might slow down the pace of inversions is the lack of foreign companies that are suitable candidates to do transactions with.”

The nation produces about 100,000 metric tons of sintered rare-earth magnets annually, compared with almost 300,000 tons of capacity, according to Everbright’s Li. Japanese companies hold most of the world’s rare-earth magnet patents, while China produces about 90 percent of global
supply, Li said. Chinese exports of the magnets were 18,800 tons last year. “Hitachi and those who have entered the market would worry about a flood of Chinese competitors,” said Le Yukun, head of metals and mining with BOC International Holdings, Bank of China’s investment banking unit. “Prices will fall if the Chinese alliance wins.”

IN OUR VIEW | CONVENTION ON DISABILITY RIGHTS
End delay on disabilities treaty Some issues bring into focus the inanity of a do-nothing Congress. U.S. Senate ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which likely won’t be voted on until after the August recess, offers a case study. Former U.S. Senator Bob Dole, now 91 and requiring a wheelchair, was back on the hill elbowing former colleagues. “As a Republican, I don’t want to see a headline saying ‘Republicans vote against disabled Americans and disabled veterans,’” Dole said Wednesday. This easy call isn’t about uranium enrichment or international sanctions but the rights and inherent dignity of those with disabilities.
Basic tenets include the right to education and to vote, consistent with the rights of able-bodied citizens. In 2012, the Senate failed to ratify the treaty by the constitutionally required two-thirds majority. The paranoid handful who opposed the treaty cite concerns that it would affect U.S. jurisprudence. In fact, the mission is to sell the rest of the world on a U.S. touchstone, the Americans with Disabilities Act. Why the language about voting, education and health? Because many countries around the world — 80 percent of those living with disabilities are in the developing world — do not approach disability as a human rights
question. Opponents such as former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum provide a sharp contrast to treaty supporters such as Dole, a disabled World War II veteran (20 veterans groups endorse the treaty.) Writing in USA Today last year, Sens. John McCain and Robert Menendez made a compelling argument. “The U.S. set the global gold standard for disabilities rights when we passed the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990,” McCain and Menendez wrote. “The act not only improved the lives of Americans living with disabilities, but also inspired other nations to upgrade their laws to
recognize that these universal values apply to all citizens. The disabilities treaty before the Senate today is an extension of that act, providing a venue for discussions on disabled access policy internationally. That’s a discussion Americans must lead.” The treaty does not curtail U.S. sovereignty, McCain and Menendez note, plus it brandishes U.S. values and leadership on matters of human equality. In international politics, finding common cause is difficult for a reason. The Disabilities Convention illustrates the converse, that domestic politics can gum up what is clear and just for no good reason at all.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ JOBLESS FUTURE?
Let the robots replace academics Without question Sunday’s Viewpoint commentary, “Our jobless future” paints a grim future for humanity. This is a not-so-distant future run by robots that sounds vaguely apocalyptic. “Regardless, at best we have another 10 to 15 years in which there is a role for humans.” Thus writes Viviek Wadhwa, a fellow at the Rock Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford University. Such a view could only form in the rarified atmosphere of academic economics departments and corporate boardrooms detached from the physical realities of our planet and the social realities of our species. Let’s start with physical realities. We are living in the twilight of the oil economy. Even with the hyper-acceleration of hydraulic fracturing in the U.S., we have managed to increase domestic production by only 25 percent. Because worldwide conventional oil production most likely peaked in 2006 and 10 years post-peak is an inflection point where production drops off dramatically, I estimate that we are going to see dramatic cost increases in fuel prices in a few years. Oil is fuel for transportation and food production. Now consider social realities. The under-employed masses of the developed world are still experiencing recession. We are heading for worldwide depression. How can we live decently? Our local and state governments can start to invest in small infrastructure projects, employing skilled trades, such as building a distributed “smart” grid composed of thousands of solar and wind generators. We can live simply so that others can simply live. The meek shall inherit the earth. Eric Teegarden Brier

Obama won’t enforce any law Regarding the letter, “Following the law, as set by Bush”: The Democrat beat continues. After six years in office Obama defenders and apologists still claim Bush is responsible for all wrongs. A bit old, don’t you think? Maybe President Obama will assume responsibility, any responsibility, between golf games, vacations and fundraising, for his actions and resulting consequences. The law the reader refers to was not created by Bush. It was created by Congress, (Democrat controlled at the time). In those days, Congress created

the laws and the president swore to enforce the laws of the United States. Yes, presidents do take an oath. “The law” was not intended to give citizenship in mass to millions of people by merely claiming amnesty. Suggesting otherwise is reading “the law” out of context, routinely done by the Obama regime, which does not enforce all laws; it interprets law as need be to fit political agenda. We are now being told that borders will be ignored in total as the administration makes plans to fly Hondurans into the U.S.A. Why deal with phony borders and petty safeguards? Now Hondurans will be able to avoid all expense, chaos and terrors of a land trip let by “coyotes.” Violating multiple country’s borders will be a thing of the past courtesy of the Obama regime. Hondurans families are encouraged to apply for an all-expense paid amnesty air-trip to a sanctuary American city. Isn’t that nice? We could save the world’s poor. Currently Hondurans. Tomorrow, expect another country from Central America added to the acceptable list. All other would be immigrants from other countries that have something to offer, wait on line for years. As a gentle afterthought,

■ CHRISTIANITY
Persecution coverage vital Thank you for running the wire report on the arrival of Meriam Ibrahim in Rome and her subsequent meeting with Pope Francis. I note that several well-known television news organizations failed to report this same story. Despite having been sentenced to death and imprisoned with her children (one of whom was born in prison as his mother was shackled during childbirth) for being a Christian, she refused to renounce her faith even if doing so would have secured her release. Such are her religious convictions and her courage. She is truly a heroine of the faith. Her death sentence for being a Christian and for refusing to renounce her faith are testimony to the extreme treatment tens of millions of Christians around the world face from religious extremists. Today I received notice from the Jubilee Campaign that the last Christian has been driven from the city of Mosul (Nineveh in the Bible) in Iraq by the radical ISIS group after an almost 2,000 year presence. In Nigeria, over 1,600 Christians have been killed in the first six months of the year (91 percent of last year’s total) by radical Boko Haram. There are many other reports daily that are rarely published. A report authored by the respected and often quoted Pew Research Group has stated that Christians are the most oppressed religious group in the world. The Herald has reported many instances of Christian persecution in the past, and I encourage you to continue to report future incidents. It is only by putting the light of truth on these incidents that the world

■ MTV ANNIVERSARY
Video really did kill the radio star On Aug. 1, 1981, MTV launched, and just as the video predicted, ‘Video Killed the Radio Star.” The attention shifted from the art to the artist and from the sound to the image. Soon the airwaves were seized by sexy girls and well coordinated boy bands. Empathy, social awareness and rebellion were replaced with self-devotion and arrogance. Eventually MTV would turn down music to air reality TV shows, proudly preserving and glamorizing ignorance and arrogance. Some artists almost killed themselves trying to become “skinny” and “camera ready” (Stevie Nicks, Ann Wilson, Aretha Franklin, etc). Others were forced into strange costumes and made to learn choreography against their better judgement (Pat Benatar, Whitney Houston, etc.) Some amazing artists were deemed “Not pretty enough for public viewing” (Christopher Cross, Leon Russell, etc.) and were practically never heard from again. Growing up, I never knew what my favorite artists looked like, I didn’t know how many boyfriends/girlfriends or babies they had. I didn’t know what shoes they wore or what alcohol they drank ... and I furthermore ... I didn’t care! I just loved their music. On many days, I catch myself sounding like an “old person” when I hang my head in despair ... I can hear Paul McCartney singing, “Oh, I believe in yesterday.” I don’t want my MTV.

What scares us about the child migrants
T
he numbers are small for a large country like this, but the alarm is big over the influx of Central American children coming over the southern border. People are merging this special case involving about 57,000 children with generalized anxiety about a broken immigration system that has resulted in an estimated 11 million illegal residents. At bottom are fears that the United States is incapable of managing an orderly immigration program. The surge of solitary children is especially disturbing because the arrivals are so pitiful. The public knows that they are innocents escaping war-like conditions and grinding poverty. But the public also knows that vast stretches of this troubled planet are soaked in misery. If fleeing war, violence and destitution is reason enough to be granted the right to stay FROMA HARROP in the United States, distressed souls in the hundreds of millions would qualify. Are these children true refugees, as their advocates insist? To be granted asylum in much of the world, one must arrive directly from a place of threat. The children from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador are traveling through relatively safe Mexico. And if what we’re seeing is a flood of real refugees, part of a humanitarian crisis, where’s Canada in all this? Canada seems to be watching the whole scene from a perch of detachment. Finally, there’s the big question of what we should do about people stuck in corrupt countries with collapsed economies. The solution can’t be to simply move entire populations to the United States. Here’s where the latest humanitarian crisis and the system failure do meet: Most of the children are being united with family members, many of whom are themselves here illegally, having come for jobs. So many tough questions are nagging Americans as they watch this sad parade of kids arriving alone at Texas bus stations. It’s not just about helping several thousand bedraggled children. It’s about loss of control, the absence of a philosophical and legal foundation from which we can deal with such crises. The recent surge is tied to a law signed in 2008 by President George W. Bush that gives child immigrants from Central America special consideration not available to those from Mexico or Canada. Bush was acting on a humanitarian impulse, as was President Barack Obama when he decided to ease up on deporting illegal immigrants brought here as children. America veers from immigration crisis to immigration crisis in large part because it lacks the structure of a wellordered system. It could have had that in the immigration reform legislation that has already passed the Senate on a bipartisan basis. Among other things, it would seriously enforce the ban on hiring undocumented workers, while legalizing millions who came in under the lax rules. But the Republican-controlled House won’t go along because the plan would “reward lawbreakers.” The perverse result has been to preserve the jobs magnet that attracts the vast majority of illegal immigrants. If foreigners risk coming here without papers in the hopes of receiving an amnesty, as many conservatives argue, that is a product of their own refusal to grant a reprieve that — given the legislation’s strong enforcement mechanism — would be the last amnesty. We call this irony. So round and round we go. Clearly, lines must be drawn, and that’s not easy to do when humans are involved. But good laws do make the lines easier to determine. Without an effective immigration law, the public won’t feel confident that when something extraordinary happens — such as the flow of unaccompanied children from Central America — we can balance kindness with the national interest. We have a law ready to go. Let’s pass it. Froma Harrop is a Providence Journal columnist. She can be reached at fharrop@ gmail.com.

Snohomish and Everett and stopped at 23rd Street and Broadway for a spell. Ultimately, an Everett patrol officer pulled the car over in the 3800 block of Rucker Avenue. The suspect has previous felony convictions for theft, identity theft, forgery and possessing stolen property. His lengthy misdemeanor history includes three drug offenses. “It was, ‘Hey, we caught the bad guy. Good. And technology was used to do it,’” McCoy said. Three months earlier, McCoy’s wife had a cellphone stolen, snatched right from her hands. Police were able to catch up with the suspect that same day after the family used pinging technology to track the missing phone.

Back in 2001, the PUD hired a consultant to look for better ways to protect birds from electrical equipment. Birds fly near charged lines, perch on equipment and even nest on top of structures. Some birds, particularly those with large wingspans, are not only vulnerable to collisions with power lines but also electrocution. Significant work has been done in the Silvana and Warm Beach area where there are flocks of trumpeter swans and snow geese, Neroutsos said. The district has installed longer cross arms on some power poles so perched birds are less likely to make contact between two energized lines — completing a circuit — with their outstretched wings. The PUD also added visual clues to lines to provide birds more advanced warning when they are flying in areas where there are power lines. That is particularly important in areas where large flocks are common and the birds in the back are relying on those in the front to avoid danger. PUD investigates all birdrelated injuries and deaths involving the district equipment, said Rob Larson, distribution services manager. Additionally all the incidents are reported to US Fish and Wildlife Service, he said. Birds aren’t the only creatures that have been on PUD’s radar. The district has tried to cut down on high-voltage encounters between squirrels and PUD equipment. Primarily that has meant installing bushing caps on transformers on power poles. The covers prevent

Because of that we did not take a position on the bill.” Washington’s state constitution has strong privacy protections. A staff analysis of the bill during the last session found: “Although some federal court decisions have held that the government does not need a warrant under the Fourth Amendment to obtain cell phone location data, the analysis under the state Constitution may be different.” As it stands, prosecutors across Washington advise police to obtain search warrants before seeking cellphone location data from service carriers, the analysis found. Klunder said it is important to define what is and isn’t an emergency so police don’t overstep their authority. “In non-emergency situations we do believe a warrant is required and almost certainly a warrant is required by our state constitution,” Klunder said. “...If it’s just the police on a hunch that’s problematic.”
squirrels from touching two lines at once. Power outages involving squirrels are reported throughout the country, said John L. Koprowski, a wildlife conservation and management professor at the University of Arizona in Tucson. He has been studying tree and ground squirrels for about 30 years. Squirrels were blamed for power outages that shut down the NASDAQ, twice, according to news reports. The most common types of squirrels seen in Washington state cities and suburbs are Eastern gray squirrels. They are not native to the area and were brought over from the eastern half of the country in the early 1900s. The larger Western gray squirrel is native to the area and is classified as a threatened species and can’t be trapped, hunted or killed. The Eastern gray is up to two feet long, including the tail. Squirrels use power lines as a highway. The tree squirrel will see a power pole as a “tree with very few branches that’s nice and straight,” Koprowski said. Tree squirrels prefer to travel above ground to avoid predators. In the cities, those are neighborhood dogs and cats. In the wild, it’s bobcats and coyotes. The squirrels also nest in trees and eat out of them. It’s no wonder that they are drawn to power poles and lines, Koprowski said. “They essentially mimic their habitat,” he said. “They’re look for the same kinds of things that they find in trees, insects, seeds, and nest-building material.” They’ve been known to nest in the transformers on poles. Their nests are generally the size of basketballs and are usually made from woven pine needles, small branches and leaves. They’ll build a nest
anywhere, including inside the walls of houses and the rotting parts of trees. That cavernous environment may be what attracts them to explore transformers. Substations have their own allure. What looks barren to people may be attractive to the rodents looking for cover and protection provided by the complex metal structure. Also, the squirrels may be taking advantage of substation cooling fans. “They’re fur-covered rodents with a high metabolic rate,” Koprowski said. They’ll look for shade or a cool breeze and flop down on their bellies, spreadeagle, with the tail curled up toward their backs. A group of blood vessels at the base of their tails helps release heat. The fans might also attract the squirrels because of the accumulations of bugs. Insects get sucked into the fans and “squirrels will eat protein any way they can get it,” Koprowski said. A squirrel’s natural instinct to gnaw also can get the rodent in trouble. A squirrel’s four front teeth continue to grow. Gnawing helps keep the teeth sharp and a manageable length, and of course, it helps the squirrel find food and nestmaking materials. PUD officials say they don’t really have a problem with squirrels gnawing on equipment. However, in other parts of the country, squirrels have been electrocuted chewing through insulation on wires. “We have these conflicts when we move into their habitat and build structures that mimic their habitat,” Koprowski said. It’s a win-win for humans and the wildlife if steps are taken to cut down on the conflict, he said.

emergencies involving risk of death or physical harm. That was the gist of House Bill 1897 during the last session. It didn’t become law. It is another wrinkle in the ever-evolving debate on how to investigate crime and protect civil liberties in the digital age. McCoy followed the story of a Kansas family whose daughter was killed in 2007 after she was kidnapped in a department store parking lot. Kelsey Smith, 18, had been in possession of a cellphone that could have revealed her location. It took three days before the telecommunications company provided that information to police. Laws inspired by the Kelsey Smith case have been passed in more than a dozen states. Privacy advocates have mounted some opposition. In Washington state, the American Civil Liberties Union remained neutral on McCoy’s legislation. “We understand there are valid reasons in an emergency,” said Doug Klunder, an ACLU attorney specializing in privacy cases. “Just as in any emergency situation, cops don’t need to get warrants.

offset somewhat by engineering work being moved from metro Puget Sound to California. Some of the changes in job numbers are due to sales and purchases of subsidiary companies, such as Boeing unloading Rocketdyne in 2005, which had about 3,200 employees, according to a Los Angeles Times report at the time. That same year, Boeing sold most of its Wichita, Kansas, operation to a
Canadian investment firm. The outcome — Spirit AeroSystems, Inc., still supplies fuselage sections for the 737 and 787. But Boeing proper is all but gone from Kansas, down from more than 22,000 in the late 1990s to 261 last month. The future is not entirely clear. Boeing’s defense business faces continued weak market demand, according to analysts. The company will likely look across the country for
assembly sites for its next clean-sheet airplanes — replacements for the 737 and 757, aerospace analysts say. And automation is expected to grow in production, meaning fewer shopfloor jobs. Automation on the 777X will likely mean the line will need fewer workers than the inproduction 777 classic. Dan Catchpole: 425339-3454; dcatchpole@ heraldnet.com; Twitter: @ dcatchpole.

Foot care: It’s all about the shoes
R
un, jump, climb or go for a stroll. Many of our favorite activities require healthy feet. But half of Americans have foot problems that impair their ability to move. Corns, calluses, blisters, ingrown toenails, bunions and heel pain are just a few of the common culprits. What’s the cause? About 9 out of 10 times, it’s poorly fitting shoes. You can avoid many painful foot problems with tender, loving care. Here are the basics: Shoe fit. Check your shoe size periodically. Feet tend to broaden and flatten with age, so your old shoes may no longer fit right. The best time to measure your feet is later in the day when feet tend to swell. Choose new shoes that feel comfortable right out of the box; don’t assume they will quickly break in or stretch out. Shoe design. Wear comfortable shoes with adequate arch support and plenty of toe room. The shape of the shoes should conform to the natural contour of your feet. Rounded toes are preferred over pointed. Heels should be low and cushioned and provide heel support and a snug fit with minimal slipping. Other measures. Elevate your feet if they’re swollen. Try a warm-water soak if they’re achy or sore. Pamper yourself with a foot massage. See your health care provider if you have done the basics and your feet still hurt. Giving your feet the love they deserve will help keep you healthy and active.
Lycopene in watermelon Fresh watermelon contains higher levels of lycopene than fresh tomatoes. A two-cup serving of watermelon contains 15 to 20 milligrams of lycopene compared to four milligrams in a medium tomato. The red pigment lycopene has antioxidant properties that may help slow aging and ward off chronic disease. The most compelling evidence so far is the role of lycopene in prostate cancer prevention. Some research suggests the nutrient may support heart health.
Bladder infections These infections result when bacteria gain entrance to the urinary bladder. This happens in women more than men since women have a shorter urethra — the tube leading from the bladder to the outside of the body. In women several factors increase the likelihood that bacteria will enter the bladder. Sexual intercourse is the most common cause of a bladder infection. This is sometimes called honeymoon cystitis when it starts soon after frequent intercourse. Pregnancy or using a diaphragm also increase the chance of developing a urinary tract infection. Other risk factors include previous urinary infections, older age, menopause, kidney stones, diabetes, immune problems, or hereditary conditions of the urinary tract. Half of all women will develop at least one urinary tract infection during their lives. When it involves the bladder you may feel burning during urination or a need to urinate more frequently or urgently. You might also notice some cloudiness or blood in your urine. Call your physician for diagnosis and treatment of the infection.

elfies. Tweeting. Texting. Sexting. OMG! Smartphones and social media make the teen years even more exciting — and treacherous. There are benefits to having high-tech tools for the curiosity, challenges, angst and all that other stuff that happens between childhood and adulthood. But there are also pitfalls to social media, including cyberbullying, overuse and other destructive behavior. An upcoming workshop can help people of all ages use these tools smarter. Hosted by SMAHRT, or Social Media and Adolescent Health Research Team, at Seattle Children’s Research Institute, the three-day conference this week is for teens, parents, educators, health care providers, legal workers. Everyone. It’s a way to connect with others the oldfashioned way: in person. The goal is to help minimize risks and maximize benefits of many aspects of social media. Topics range from cyberbullying to apps on birth control. There will also be panel discussions on using Fitbit activity trackers and iPad health screenings. The

second day finishes up with an open discussion deemed, appropriately, “Appy Hour.” Parents have been trying to keep their kids safe from new technology for centuries. They dealt with the invention of the wheel, the record player, the telephone, TV. “Technology is like a hammer,” said SMAHRT leader Dr. Megan Moreno. “You can use it to build a house and you can also get really seriously injured.” Moreno is the author of “Sex, Drugs ’n Facebook: A Parent’s Toolkit for Promoting Healthy Internet Use.” She said the line between offline and online is often not blurred enough. “A lot of people behave online in ways they wouldn’t offline,” Moreno said. “They should act the same way. Everything is online now. We should treat them with the same level of respect and attention.” Cyberbullying can have a worse impact than face-to-face bullying, she said. Teens often don’t grasp that messages and photos posted online are there forever — as in beyond high school — and for the world to see. As Moreno put it: “Once it gets out there it’s like trying to gather feathers scattered in the wind.” See KIDS, Page B5

Protein-rich food is the new trend, but be careful Jennifer Van Allen Special To The Washington Post
When milk marketers went searching for a replacement for their notorious “Got Milk?” campaign, they asked 2,500 teens and adults what promise would make milk more appetizing than juice, water or soda. Calcium fell flat. So did the idea that milk was the “original superfood.” And what about the fact that milk is a great value at just 25 cents per glass? Meh. The resounding winner: eight grams of protein per glass. And thus a $50 million “Milk Life” campaign was born this year, featuring kids and adults happily at play with the pledge that “this is what eight grams of
protein can do.” Indeed, protein has never been more popular. Enticed by the promise that it can help you lose weight, get stronger and avoid age-related muscle loss, some 71 percent of consumers say they want more of it in their diets, reports the NPD Group, a New York research firm. And retailers are rushing to add protein to foods such as cereal and granola bars, and promote the naturally highprotein content of foods such as nuts, beef jerky and Greek yogurt. There’s been a 54 percent increase in the number of new products with a high-protein or vegan claim since 2008, according to Mintel, a Chicago research firm. Just in the past year, there was a 49 percent increase in snacks making high-protein
claims, Mintel says. I couldn’t help but wonder: Why did protein suddenly become the nutrient du jour? And will it be just another diet craze — a la the fat-free frenzy of the 1980s — that ultimately leaves us all whiplashed with confusion about why we spend so much time and energy dieting, and yet are further than ever from our feel-great weights? Scientists have long known that protein builds lean muscle mass and provides a feeling of fullness that can aid in weight loss. A raft of recent studies linking protein-rich diets to weight loss have kept that idea in the spotlight. In recent years, the rise of Paleo, Atkins, the Zone and other low-carb diets have helped sustain protein’s MVP status. And protein’s popularity
might have more staying power than other food crazes, says Darren Seifer, a food and beverage analyst for the NPD Group. In contrast to the fat-free, sugar-free and gluten-free fads, which all revolve around restraint and avoidance, the current obsession with protein has to do with eating and drinking more of it. And people like that. “It’s not restrictive,” Seifer says. And because protein’s benefits are so easy to explain and understand — it helps you feel fuller longer, lose weight and build muscle — it might be more enduring than the pushes for high fiber, whole grains and Omega-3 fatty acids that abruptly came into and out of vogue.

What’s secret to entertaining with tots?
DAILY CROSSWORD
Adapted from a recent online discussion. Dear Carolyn: I know a number of parents of toddlers, preschoolers and babies who travel frequently and entertain at home, and they use words like “fun” and “relaxing” to describe their experiences. I, on the other hand, end up feeling so stressed. Entertaining at home, I’m conscious of how annoyed visitors can get sharing a dwelling with walking germ factories, having to observe nap-time quiet or curbing grown-up TV-watching. And at other people’s homes I feel so drained making the best of an environment that may be far from child-friendly. What am I going to do, tell folks they can’t navigate their own house? I am so relieved when it’s over. But I don’t want to limit my kids’ worlds by never leaving our house or inviting overnight guests. So what’s the secret to these parents who travel, entertain and host with such happy abandon? — Kids in Tow I think the answer is there in your question, if you sew the pieces together into a little quilt with crusty applesauce on it. Hosting goes well when your guests buy into the limitations (and joys) of staying among little kids. Visiting goes well when your hosts buy in to the limitations (and
CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT joys) of hosting little kids. Both go better when you’re game. And it can really, cosmically suck when you’ve got a guest or host who thinks everything should stay the way adults like it and little kids should need only to be told “no” once. There are ways to make hostile environments less so that won’t leave you stressed (which, as you probably already know, only exacerbates any discomfort you or your guests feel). For hosting, I suggest you be as transparent as you can upfront: “Pookie gets over-excited when guests are here, so apologies in advance if there’s a scene”; or, “Pookie needs about a half-hour to fall into a good sleep, but after that we don’t need to tiptoe around.” Setting realistic expectations actually accomplishes two things: It sets your guests’ expectations at a realistic level, and it also lets them know that you aren’t under the illusion that everyone should be overjoyed to be around

small kids. I think that wears people down faster than anything — the idea that they, your inconvenienced guests/hosts, are supposed to be just as enchanted as you are by your Pookie. Letting them know you get that can soften people toward cooperating. As for visiting child-unfriendly places, I have basically a twotiered suggestion: (1) When the environment is welcoming but not child-ready, BYO coping strategies: favorite foods, toys, media, safety gear (playpen, baby gates ... ). (2) When the environment is not welcoming, stay in a hotel — locale and finances permitting, of course. They’re largely kid-proof, plus they allow you and your host to take a deep breath between rounds of togetherness. When in doubt, communicate: Ask what people expect and be clear about what you provide.

Son’s clumsiness may have a physical cause Dear Abby: In short, my son is a klutz — to the point that it affects his self-confidence. He’s different from everyone else in the family. Is being a klutz genetic? Is it permanent? He’s not doing well academically, either. How can I help him? — Parent Who Cares Dear Parent: One way to help your son would be to stop other family members from making fun of him and labeling him as a klutz. When people laugh and ridicule others, it makes them only more self-conscious and more clumsy. Another way to help would be to have him examined by an ophthalmologist and a neurologist. His problem may be poor depth perception or a neurological or balance issue. And while you’re at it, consider having him evaluated for a learning disability, which may be the cause of his academic difficulties. Dear Abby: I have a pet peeve. I hate it when people ask to “try my meal” or to have a taste, especially when I haven’t had one myself. When I say no, my boyfriend calls me selfish. If we’re with friends, I feel obligated to say yes to avoid appearing rude. I seldom trade bites with my boyfriend because I don’t eat meat and he usually orders something I don’t want. Some nights we cook our own separate meals, and he still asks to try mine (even though he’s a better cook than I am). Abby, how can I say no without looking or feeling selfish and rude?

ALBUM REVIEW
‘Sharknado 2’ has a toothy grin ‘Hypnotic By Rick Bentley The Fresno Bee
LOS ANGELES — The idea of making a movie about a tornado that scoops up thousands of sharks and sends them flying through the air to chomp their way through a bevy of people, places and things sounds totally ridiculous. That didn’t stop Syfy from moving ahead with “Sharknado,” a movie that became a pop culture phenomenon last year. The movie embraces cheesy special effects, melodramatic acting and absurd plot, making it the “Citizen Kane” of schlock movies. Viewers exalted the movie’s campiness through every form of social media. The mania reached such a fevered level, a flood of merchandise followed and a sequel, “Sharknado 2: The Second One,” was ordered. Director Anthony C. Ferrante, whose career was filled with little known horror films before making “Sharknado,” believes the film struck a nerve because of its humor.
“All of the big movies released last year were very dark,” Ferrante says. “Then we came along and people liked how this was so silly and light. You’re making a movie called ‘Sharknado,’ and if you don’t embrace it, there’s a serious problem. If you don’t embrace it, you end up with a movie that’s not fun, and I think that’s one of the big reasons of why the film worked worldwide. Ian Ziering and Tara Reid return to face another marine meteorological dilemma as the action shifts from Los Angeles to New York. Although both actors admit they had major concerns about being in the first movie after they saw the script, they are glad they stuck with it and came back for the sequel. The way Ziering looks at it, most people can’t remember the last TV movie except for “Sharknado.” But everyone has heard of “Sharknado.” “When the movie blew up, I was surprised. Everyone was surprised. No one expected the first film to do what it had
Another bite “Sharknado 2: The Second One” premiers at 9 p.m. Wednesday on Syfy. done,” Ziering says. “The sci-fi fans are the most supportive fans in entertainment. So when we made ‘Sharknado,’ word got out. We delivered a movie they were all excited about.” Although the sequel was made for a little more than the $2 million spent on the first film, it features a much larger supporting cast that includes anchors from the “Today” show, Vivica A. Fox, Mark McGrath, Kari Wuhrer, Judah Friedlander, Kurt Angle, Andy Dick, Judd Hirsch and Robert Klein. There’s also a surprise cameo appearance. Many of the actors contacted Ferrante about being part of the next shark attack. Friedlander jokes that he asked to be in the movie because it is the “most important film ever made about climate change.”
SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY 50 years ago (1964) Scholarship awards in the amount of $600 were granted to four children of Simpson Paper Co. employees. Notified of their selection this week were recipients Mary Ann Dumond, James W. Cunningham, Daniel A. Neff and Clifford E. Totey. A banquet to honor the winners was held this evening at Everett Golf Country Club. Two major assignments were filled in the Arlington school system. Richard Johnson was
named high school principal and DuWyane H. Doe head basketball coach. Johnson replaced John Danubio who became curriculum and guidance director. Doe succeeded George Vlastelica, who moved to California. 25 years ago (1989) On the set of Phoenix Alternative High School’s theater project were Marc Lawyer, Jack Bethards, Carl Wolff, Shane Lawyer, Renee Lawless, David White and Martha Gann.
Seventeen young people were involved in the Youth on Their Own Theater Project. Veteran Silvana Fair judge Marietta Roth of Bryant studied an overnight bag sewn by Jenny Boettel before awarding the bag a ribbon. Roth had judged at fairs for more than 30 years.

Eye’ classic, hook-laden Tom Petty Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, “Hypnotic Eye” (Reprise) Tom Petty isn’t singing about himself on his new tune, “Forgotten Man,” but he can’t be blamed for thinking like that. The music world has moved on from the days when Tom Petty and his Heartbreakers were among its leaders. So what to do? They can give up, go country, become a walking jukebox or stand and fight. They’ve decided to take a stand, based on the evidence of this stunning new disc. “Hypnotic Eye” is testament to the enduring power of blues-based rock ‘n’ roll. The Heartbreakers are among the best rock bands still working, and this disc is the type of showcase it hasn’t had for decades. Mike Campbell’s fluid guitar, Benmont Tench’s unparalleled keyboards, Ron Blair’s surprisingly melodic bass and Steve Ferrone’s drums — it’s a veteran band that plays with confidence and precision. Petty brings the songs, hook-laden and fillerfree, speaking to the strivers and dreamers who have always made up his audience. The sound is classic but never dated. Were this the summer of 1984, “Faultlines,” “Red River,” “Forgotten Man” and “Sins of My Youth” would be constants on the radio. It’s no fault of his that time and trends are different now. You’d be wise, however, not to forget Tom Petty. David Bauder, Associated Press

Protein: Accompanied by calories, fat and sugar
Tips on kids and social media Follow the law Most social media sites are allowed only for those at least 13. Don’t help your child falsify their identity. I can’t think of a situation in which this would help. Evaluate sites Join each site along with them, use the tools, fiddle with the privacy, and stay connected as long as your teen does. That way you can speak their “language� and keep up to date about changes and concerns you may have and changes or challenges your child may have. Make rules and curfews Consider a 9 p.m. bedtime for all digital devices so they don’t interfere with sleep and you can reconnect in real life at the end of the day. Commit to turning off phones during meals, and stashing them in the back seat when driving. Check in Does your child seem energized and excited when on Facebook? Or do they seem more withdrawn? Are they concerned about their
numbers (followers)? Is it hard for your child to stay off these sites? Check in, adapt to your child’s experience and design your rules to support your family’s experiences and challenges. Model good behavior Turn your phone off during dinner. Put your phone “to bed� before you go to sleep. Take holidays from your devices whenever you can.
From Page B1
Don’t focus on punishment Instead focus on talking about good citizenship, healthy behaviors, and rules that need to adapt or be altered as time unfolds and challenges present themselves. Remember to live offline However ridiculous that sounds, get outside every single day, leave the phone at home whenever possible, and remember to encourage your children to spend time in person “IRL� (in real life) with those they love. SOURCE: BLOG BY DR. WENDY SUE SWANSON, SEATTLE MAMA DOC
Kids: Social media can affect kids’ sleep From Page B1
Sleep is another topic that will be covered. Media use can trump sleep, whether it’s to watch favorite shows or see what their peers might post about them. “We hear in clinic about
them sleeping with phones under their pillow so they don’t miss out on anyone saying anything good or bad about them,� Moreno said. So what’s a parent to do, especially when kids are more tech savvy? “Parents are still experts

about parenting,� Moreno said. “Just because your kid knows about Tumblr and you don’t doesn’t mean you can’t make a rule about it.� Andrea Brown: 425339-3443; abrown@ heraldnet.com. Twitter: @ reporterbrown.
But, interestingly, even as the public clamors for protein, some 71 percent of consumers don’t actually know how much they should get, or what foods have it, according to the NPD survey. The average healthy person needs about 0.8 grams per kilogram (or 2.2 pounds) of body weight, according to U.S. Agriculture Department recommendations. And most people are already getting enough in their normal eating regimes. “It’s not a nutrient that’s of grave concern,� says registered dietitian Andrea Giancoli, a policy analyst for the Beach Cities Health District in California. “Protein in and of itself isn’t going to make you into a supermodel, get you to your ideal weight or make you into a lean, mean machine. You actually have to exercise and do the work to build that muscle.� What’s more, if you eat more protein than you need, it’s just going to get stored as fat. That’s where the larger potential problem exists, Giancoli says. In their quest to shed pounds and get strong, consumers might start eating more foods such as red meat that, though high
in protein, also have lots of saturated fat. They also might reach for protein supplements and protein-enriched foods, which have additives and calories they don’t need. The addition of protein often comes along with artificial additives, plus calories, sugar, fat and sodium to make the product taste good. So it’s critical to comparison-shop and carefully inspect the nutrition facts panel. A 1Âź-cup serving of Cheerios Protein, for instance, has seven grams of protein — more than the four grams of protein in the original variety of Cheerios. But it also has about 100 more calories and 14 more grams of sugar. And as tough as it is to resist the temptation of a protein-packed, and therefore guilt-free, indulgence, we have to look past the claims on the front of the label. That Caramel Nut Rush Marathon Protein Bar might have 20 grams of protein, but it also has 290 calories, 9 grams of fat and 22 grams of sugar. “If you’re consuming more calories than the body can burn off, you’re going to gain weight,â€? Giancoli says. “It doesn’t matter what nutrient it is.â€?

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Get back to basics. Revisit your life goals and determine how you can best reach your destination. Being reasonable about what is and what is not possible will make a difference. Emotional self-deception is apparent if you aren’t willing to look at logistics, facts and figures. Your numbers are 2, 13, 24, 29, 31, 35, 42. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Detail coupled with hard work will bring you the rewards you are looking for, as well as keep you out of trouble. The more you do and the less you say, the further ahead you will be. ��� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Turn something you do well and enjoy into a moneymaking endeavor, but stay within budget and build a strong and solid base for your business venture. ����� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t offer your cash, assistance or anything else without getting the lowdown as to where and how your contribution will be put to use. Someone will take advantage of your kindness if you aren’t careful. �� CANCER (June 21-July 22): A conversation will lead to a new approach to the way you do things. Connect with someone you feel is talented and work as a team. Your confidence will ensure others that you are capable of handling whatever comes your way. ���� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may feel impulsive, but consider the best way to proceed. Too much of anything will lead to regret. Focus more on learning and adding to your qualifications rather than trying to make a physical change. ��� VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Uncertainty

Galaxy beat Sounders 3-0 By Tim Booth Associated Press
SEATTLE — Landon Donovan pushed himself early in the season so he was ready for the international stage. When he was left off the United States’ roster for the World Cup, there was an understandable letdown in Donovan’s performance for the Los Angeles Galaxy. “I really pushed myself to be playing well in April and May this year and I was, and I just dropped off a little bit and it’s important for me to get back to that,” Donovan said. “Again, this is only one night. It’s got to continue and that’s what’s expected of me and
that’s what I expect of myself.” Donovan started finding that form again on Monday night, assisting on two goals and scoring one in Los Angeles’ impressive 3-0 win over the Seattle Sounders. Donovan assisted on Gyasi Zardes’ goal in the eighth minute, scored off a rebound 10 minutes later and picked up a second assist on Stefan Ishizaki’s goal in the 36th minute as the Galaxy won for the fourth time in six matches and just as they’re getting their roster together again. Monday was the first time Omar Gonzalez played for the Galaxy since May 3 and Robbie Rogers returned after missing the last two games.
“We’re just beginning to get our team on the field,” Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said. “We’ve gone through a half a season of misery dealing with the injuries and absences. Hopefully we can get a little more of a solidified unit.” The Western Conference-leading Sounders suffered one of their worst home MLS losses in franchise history. Seattle lost 4-1 last season at home to Vancouver. The worst home defeat was 4-0 to Los Angeles in 2010 that prompted Sounders management to offer refunds to fans. Seattle had won four of its previous five MLS matches and had See SOUNDERS, Page C2

For love of the game
‘There’s no such thing as enough baseball’ for Jackson’s Avalos By David Krueger Herald Writer
O
ne might think that after starting playing baseball in March and faced with the prospect of continuing to play through the end of summer, a player would get tired of the sport. Not Aaron Avalos. Avalos, a senior-to-be who plays baseball for Jackson High School — and for the Baden Baseball Club in the summer — is in his fifthconsecutive month of playing baseball.
And, he’s excited to keep going. “It’s been busy,” Avalos said. “It’s been really fun. It’s busy every day but it keeps me doing something. For me, it’s always enjoyable, especially when you love the game. There’s no such thing as enough baseball.” A shortstop for the Timberwolves, Avalos helped Jackson to a 12-10 record in his junior campaign. He was named to the All-Wesco 4A South first team as an infielder before starting his summer league with Baden, which finishes its
season in early August. Playing baseball has always been a preferred activity for Avalos. He hasn’t just been playing the sport for five months. He’s been playing it for almost 14 years. “I’ve been playing since I was 3 years old,” Avalos said. “My dad gave me a baseball and told me when I was young I would always hold a baseball or find something (to use as a) bat. I couldn’t stay away from the game.” The trend has continued and expanded into the
summer after his junior year of high school. The summer league allows a player to develop their skillset, playing as many as 50-60 games over the course of the season, according to Jackson head coach Kirk Nicholson. The Baden team has played 58 contests since they began on May 22nd and have six left before the conclusion of the season on Aug. 3 at the Josh Dickerson Invitational Championship at Rainier Beach High School in Seattle. See AVALOS, Page C4

Court rules in favor of Shelly Sterling, setting stage for Steve Ballmer to take control of team By Nathan Fenno Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — A judge gave Shelly Sterling a sweeping victory Monday afternoon and cleared the way for Steve Ballmer’s record $2 billion purchase of the Los Angeles Clippers to proceed. In a tentative oral decision, Judge Michael Levanas ruled in Sterling’s favor on all three counts and rejected virtually all of Donald Sterling’s arguments in the probate trial in Los Angeles Superior Court. The ruling included the extraordinary step of granting of Shelly Sterling’s request for an order under section 1310(b) of California’s probate code that allows the sale to be completed regardless of an appellate court’s intervention. “Ballmer paid an amazing price that cannot be explained by the market,” Levanas said. Levanas also ruled that Shelly Sterling acted properly when two doctors declared her husband mentally incapacitated in May under terms of the Sterling Family Trust before she proceeded to agree to sell the Clippers to Ballmer. The judge endorsed the argument interim Clippers chief executive Richard Parsons made earlier in the trial that the franchise will enter a “death spiral” if Donald Sterling retains ownership. Donald Sterling revoked the trust in June, but Levanas said the court retained jurisdiction over the matter. The judge announced his ruling minutes after closing arguments in the case concluded. The totality of Shelly Sterling’s victory
TONIGHT’S GAME Seattle at Tulsa
5 p.m., BOK Center (Tulsa) TV: None Radio: None
Scouting Report With just seven games remaining in the regular season, not only are the Storm in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time in a decade, but they are also in danger of finishing with the WNBA’s worst record. At 9-18, the Storm are a half game worse than the Tulsa Shock – today’s opponent – for the WNBA’s worst record. Both the Shock and the Storm are chasing the Los Angeles Sparks for the fourth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Tulsa and Seattle have split their first two meetings this season. Tulsa’s Skylar Diggins poses the biggest defensive challenge for Seattle. The secondyear point guard is seemingly a shoe-in for the league’s Most Improved Player. She leads her team averaging 21.4 points and 5.3 assists per game, up from 8.5 points and 3.8 assists per game in her 2013 rookie campaign. Courtney Paris, Odyssey Sims and Glory Johnson join Diggins as double-figure scorers for the Shock. The Storm’s season-long five-game losing streak can be chalked up to two things: a struggling offense and a tired defense. The Storm remain nearly 2½ points per game behind Washington as the least productive offense in the WNBA and have fallen from first to fourth in the league in points allowed in their current losing streak.
quickly became clear, as Levanas derided the testimony of Donald Sterling’s two witnesses and rejected frequent claims by his lawyers of a “secret plan B” to oust him as Clippers owner. Levanas called Shelly Sterling’s testimony “far and away more credible” than her husband’s and believed that genuine concern for his well-being motivated her arranging the mental exams in May. Shelly Sterling embraced her attorney, Pierce O’Donnell, in the
courtroom following the ruling. Donald Sterling did not attend. Levanas made the announcement after almost two hours of closing arguments between lawyers for Donald and Shelly Sterling. During the morning’s closing arguments, Max Blecher, an attorney for Donald Sterling, accused Shelly Sterling of “an invidious scheme to strip Donald Sterling of his ownership rights of the Clippers.” With a raised voice and
waving arms, Blecher, calling the situation “unconscionable” and “devious,” described NBA Commissioner Adam Silver as a co-conspirator with Shelly Sterling. Pierce O’Donnell, representing Shelly Sterling, dismissed Blecher’s assertion, saying, “This was an argument for the media, not for the court.” Earlier, O’Donnell put the case in simple terms. “The doctors certified Donald as incapacitated. That’s the end of the matter,” O’Donnell said.

INDIANAPOLIS — Long before Jimmie Johnson arrived on the NASCAR scene, Jeff Gordon was the fastest thing on wheels. He was the “Wonder Boy” who racked up wins at a record place. He brought the southern sport to Madison Ave. and became such a household name that even rapper Nelly name-dropped Gordon in a song. Gordon won all the big races, collected four championships in seven years and had 58 victories before his 30th birthday. Then his pace began to slow, the rest of the field caught up to him and Johnson moved into the Hendrick Motorsports shop as the new kid on the block. Gordon hasn’t won a title since, while Johnson has won five. Now, 13 years after Gordon launched “The Drive for 5,” Gordon is on track to collect that elusive fifth title. The Sprint Cup points leader won Sunday’s Brickyard 400, a race that often gives a preview of the championship. Nine times in 21 years, the winner at Indianapolis Motor Speedway went on to hoist the Cup at the end of the year. “If you can do it here, you can do it anywhere,” Gordon said after his NASCAR-record fifth win at Indy. Gordon, a week shy of his 43rd birthday and often fighting an

aching back, won on the 20th anniversary celebration of his first Brickyard victory. It came on the day the Mayor of Indianapolis proclaimed “Jeff Gordon Day” and showed Gordon is trying to make 2014 his year. Although he talked in January of retirement considerations, Gordon is reinvigorated and deeply committed to winning a title with his No. 24 team. “You feel like you’ve kind of won all that you could win, you’ve won four championships, then a guy like Jimmie Johnson comes along and starts dominating, you kind of lose the motivation,” Gordon said. But he is inspired by the work ethic and dedication of crew
chief Alan Gustafson, and fears being “the weak link” of the race team. He also is motivated to share his success with wife, Ingrid, and their two young children. Gordon married Ingrid in 2006 and the couple quickly added a boy and a girl to the family. “It’s pushed me to give more, do more, work harder,” he said. “Ingrid has never experienced a championship. I told her ‘Hey, I know you want to know what it’s like to win a championship. Well, there’s a big commitment that it takes.’ She’s like ‘Whatever it takes.’ “That’s the kind of year that we’re having. We’re just putting everything we possibly can into
it.” It’s going take everything Gordon has to win this Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, the first under a winner-take-all, elimination round format. A model of consistency all season long with 14 top-10 finishes in 20 races, the slate will be wiped clean come September. Gordon will have to be aggressive and out front to make it through the three elimination rounds. If he is one of the four drivers to advance all the way to the Homestead finale, the title will go to the best driver in the fastest car on one day only. That could be Gordon, if he drives anything like he did at Indy. Although he’s struggled with restarts for several years, and did most of Sunday, he finally nailed one when he needed it most. A late caution gave him one shot at taking the lead away from teammate Kasey Kahne, and he figured a perfect strategy as they headed toward the green flag. Kahne had given Gordon the outside lane, and he knew if he was alongside Kahne in the corner, he’d be able to hold him down and loosen Kahne’s car. “I treated him like a competitor at that point, he might not have liked it,” Gordon said. “When it comes down to the end of a race, we’re here to win.” The victory was the 90th of Gordon’s career, and he’s just the third driver to hit that mark.

Woods to play in charity event Associated Press VERONA, N.Y. — Tiger Woods is returning to play in Notah Begay’s charity event. It will mark the fifth time Woods will take part in the NB3 Foundation Challenge put on annually by his former college roommate at Stanford. This year’s event at Turning Stone Resort is Aug. 27. The fundraiser targets health issues facing Native Americans. Begay, a Navajo and the only fullblooded American Indian to play on the PGA Tour, says he’s raised more than $4 million in seven years.

Better to forget about and move on,” Seattle coach Sigi Schmid said. The absence of Marshall was obvious and Seattle’s defense was disorganized and susceptible to Donovan and the Galaxy’s attack.

for an early lead. Donovan was then in the right spot to clean up the rebound off Marcelo Sarvas’ shot in the 18th minute while
DeAndre Yedlin was caught watching the ball and lost track of Donovan. Ishizaki’s goal in the 36th
minute drew boos from the sellout crowd and Los Angeles had a number of opportunities to make the final score even more lopsided if not for impressive saves from Frei. Seattle didn’t get a clear shot on goal until the 59th minute when Clint Dempsey’s curling leftfooted shot was pushed wide by Jaime Pedeno. Otherwise, Pedeno had a mostly quiet and calm night defending the Los Angeles goal. Aside from the rare Monday night matchup, the stadium also suffered a power surge in the opening moments knocking out the stadium lights. There was also a tussle at the end of the first half between Yedlin and Gonzalez that Dempsey joined. The three were teammates for the U.S. at the World Cup. “It’s competitive and our team wasn’t going to back down,” Donovan said.

here in Everett, I’m waiting for some babies to arrive. “I’m very proud,” Valle added. “He got a good one, they’re in love, and now the work just starts. The wedding is just the start of the relationship.” The reason why the wedding is in Colombia is that David’s wifeto-be, Daynais, is a native of the country, and Cartagena is her hometown. Valle has been to Colombia before, having played winter ball in the city of Barranquilla one year during his minor-league playing days. But this will be his first opportunity to see the country as a traveler. His stay won’t be long — he’s returning to Everett on Sunday — but he’s still excited about the opportunity to be a tourist. “It’s going to be in the old city, the old walled city, right there in Cartagena,” Valle said. “It’s a beautiful country, a beautiful city and I’m really looking forward to it.” While Valle is gone Jim Pankovits, the Seattle Mariners’ minor-league infield coordinator, is joining the team to take over the managerial duties. Pankovits has plenty of minor-league managing experience, having managed Seattle’s Double-A team, the Jackson Generals of the Southern League, from 201113, as well as managing in the Houston Astros system in 199599 and 2006-10. He’ll take the reins during the five-game series at Eugene, which runs into the three-day Northwest League AllStar break. Valle will be back in charge for Everett’s three-game series at Spokane, which begins Aug. 7. This isn’t the first time this season the Sox have been without a member of the coaching staff. Hitting coach Mike Davis wasn’t able to join the team until three weeks into the season because he was dealing with a family matter. Pitching coach Nasusel Cabrera, who’s from the Dominican Republic, was unable to join the team when it traveled to Vancouver from July 11-13 because of paperwork snafus with regards to his visa. And bench coach Andy Bottin has missed time because of health issues.

A’s put Gentry on DL with broken hand Associated Press HOUSTON — The Oakland Athletics put outfielder Craig Gentry on the 15-day disabled list because of a broken right hand and promoted outfielder Billy Burns from Double-A Midland. Gentry was injured Sunday at Texas when he hit by a pitch. He was on the disabled list at the start of the season with a lower back strain. Gentry was hitting .264 with 10 RBI in 80 games with Oakland. Burns was batting .250 with a home run and 23 RBI in 91 games with Midland.

Mariners closer Fernando Rodney, whose career high is 48 saves, has 28 for Seattle this season.
‘Rodney’s world’
Mariners’ eccentric closer is anything but dull By Todd Dybas The News Tribune
SEATTLE — Informed his manager labeled him a prankster, Fernando Rodney giggles and squeals. Rodney, who often refers to himself by his surname, finds the thought of his hilarity hilarious. This is how the Seattle Mariners closer operates. It’s really a 99-1 plan. Rodney is relaxed, jovial and somewhat odd in almost all aspects of his life. Then, for one percent of the time, he’s the hard-throwing, heart-pounding closer who leads the American League in saves. At 37, Rodney is making $7 million a year to pitch the ninth inning for major league baseball’s best bullpen. Seattle’s 2.39 earned run average leads the league. He comes with quirks. There was the “magic” plantain Rodney toted around at the 2013 World Baseball Classic, then later with the Tampa Bay Rays. He will change his voice — suddenly sounding like Kermit the Frog, if he was a lifetime smoker — to startle people. Rodney’s accent from the Dominican Republic is thick, and he talks so quietly, it can be a challenge to understand him. When he switches to the more gravel-based Kermit-voice, his words are clearer. There is the position of his hat. It’s cranked to the side, he claims, for multiple reasons. One, his father, Ulise, who was a fisherman and died in 2002, would rotate his hat to block the sun while he worked. In large part, it’s a tribute to him. Rodney also claims it makes a runner on first base think Rodney is looking at him when he’s not. Also an important reason for the hat rotation: it’s fun. His sons are easily recognized in the clubhouse. They’re the ones with the angled ballcaps. Then, there’s the arrow. Typically reserved for the end of games, Rodney will reach to his upper back to pull out an imaginary arrow, then shoot it into the sky. “The arrow? I don’t know,” Rodney said. “Just do something after the last out. Out 27. You know the game is over. I shoot the moon. I shoot the arrow, just let them know game over. “That’s my game. Every time I go pitch, I do my arrow. That’s what the fans are waiting for. Rodney shoot the moon.” Last week, Rodney’s celestial navigation was askew. The arrow took a decidedly different path after he got out of a basesloaded situation in the eighth inning in Anaheim against one of his former teams, the Angels. Rodney pivoted and fired over the Anaheim dugout. He

contends the non-existent object was launched toward the stands. Fans had booed his entrance. Others think it may have been aimed at Angels manager Mike Scioscia, who repeatedly removed Rodney from the closer’s role in 2010 and 2011. Only the Gods know. Rodney lost the game in the ninth, suffering countershots of imaginary arrows from the Angels’ Mike Trout and Albert Pujols. His time in California resulted in down years for Rodney. His ERA was 4.24 and 4.50, respectively, which ended his stay in Anaheim. That set up one of the great years a reliever has had. Rodney joined the Tampa Bay Rays, saved 48 games and had a 0.60 ERA in the 2012 season. He finally corralled his command, an adjustment that left him almost unhittable. Rodney gave up five earned runs in 742⁄3 innings. He was solid the following year for the Rays, though his walk rate crept back up. The Mariners won out between three suitors, the Baltimore Orioles and New York Mets were the others, to sign the freeagent Rodney in the offseason to a two-year, $14 million deal. The money helped put Seattle over the top in the bidding. As did the fact Rodney thinks it’s too hot in Baltimore — remember, he’s from Samana, Dominican Republic, where it was 90 degrees with 70 percent humidity Monday — and too busy in New York. General manager Jack Zduriencik feels Rodney has stacked and steadied the Mariners bullpen. His bullpen mates believe Rodney has soothed many of the pressures that come with relieving. At times, he’ll do this by barking. “Barking like a dog,” rookie reliever Dominic Leone said. “You’ll look at him and it’s like, ‘What?’ And, he’s over there laughing. “We’re all living in Rodney’s world out there. It’s awesome. It keeps everyone mellow. It’s awesome, because, at times,
this game can get you so intense and so in the moment, but he’s always just like loafing around, then you can see him flip the switch when he goes in the game.” His entrance, as it often is for closers, is a production. Techno romp “Animals” by Martin Garrix blares, Rodney finishes his warmup pitches then swigs from a cup of water before discarding it to the ground with disdain and jogs in. “We just need some fire and fog machines at the bottom of the bullpen,” Leone said. Rodney did not pick the song. “They say Rodney, what you think about this song? I say, ‘Whatever you want.’” Rodney has evolved into an eccentric closer with entrance music thanks to a changeup that moves like a loose-hipped dancer. In 2002, the Detroit Tigers called him up for the first time. He pitched 18 innings, his ERA was 6.00. The Tigers sent him back to the minor leagues to work on a second pitch. He had thrown a slight variation of the circle changeup back in 1999. The first time he threw it, he hit a batter in the foot. Though he was impressed with the movement — “How the ball move, I say, ‘Wow!’” — that was the end of the changeup. Throwing 98 mph would have to suffice. Pushed back to the minor leagues, he began to practice throwing it against a wall. The ball sits well into the heel of his hand, then is released through his thick middle, ring and pinky fingers. As with any off-speed pitch, a key is arm motion. Rodney looks like he is throwing a 96-mph fastball when he is not. By 2003, Rodney had begun to command the pitch. He became Detroit’s so-so closer in 2009, earning 37 saves behind a 4.40 ERA. Much like Rodney, his outings are rarely straight ahead. There inevitably seems to be a walk, hit the other way or some kind of turmoil before the preferred conclusion. Rodney is unconcerned. “I no feel pressure,” Rodney said. “When I go there in that situation, that’s what I want. I want to be the best in that situation — 2-1 game, I want to show my teammates, the fans I can pitch in that situation.” If it holds, Rodney’s 2.16 ERA will be the second-best of his career, trailing his dominant first season in Tampa. His 28 saves put him in position to eclipse his career-best of 48. The Fernando Rodney Experience continues, with the Mariners in a race for a playoff spot. Arrows will fly, water will be tossed, changeups will dart, oddities will flow. Look out moon.
EVERETT — Miguel Dilone’s sacrifice fly in the top of the 11th inning gave the Tri-City Dust Devils a 6-5 victory over the Everett AquaSox on Monday night at Everett Memorial Stadium. Everett infielder Jared Cowan was on the mound when Shane Hoelscher led the inning off by lining a double into the left-field corner. Hoelscher advanced to third on a wild pitch, then scored on Dilone’s flyout to right-center. Hoelscher and Ryan Garvey each had two hits to lead Tri-City (3-4 second half, 17-28 overall), which overcame committing five errors. Cowan homered and Nelson Ward went 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles for Everett (4-3, 15-30). Cowan took the loss, pitching two innings in what was the fifth appearance by a Sox position player on the mound this season. Everett seemed to have won the game by rallying for four runs in the bottom of the eighth, turning a 3-1 deficit into a 5-3 lead. Cowan led the inning off with his first homer in two seasons as a professional. Then Sheehan Planas-Arteaga’s RBI single tied it, Kyle Petty’s suicide-squeeze bunt that he beat out for a hit gave the Sox the lead, and Corey Simpson’s sacrifice fly gave Everett a two-run cushion. But in the top of the ninth the Dust Devils put the first two batters on base on a walk and a hit batter, with those runners moving up a base on a wild pitch. One run scored on a Dilone’s groundout, and when Sox catcher Luke Guarnaccia couldn’t block strike three to Robert Perkins the second run scampered home to make it 5-5.
Offensively challenged Everett has struggled offensively for much of the season, but the Sox’s current opponents have had an even harder time of it. Going into Monday’s game Tri-City was dead last in the Northwest League in batting average (.230), slugging percentage (.314) and on-base percentage (.309), and thus had scored the fewest runs in the league (164 in 44 games). Everett had scored just five more runs and had a batting average just one point higher at .231, but the Sox had a better on-base percentage (.318) and a substantially better slugging percentage (.346).
Short hops Sox outfielder Austin Cousino is enjoying his home park. Going into Monday Cousino was batting .341 with six of his seven doubles and all five of his homers at Everett Memorial Stadium. He was batting .206 with just one extra-base hit on the road. ... Everett outfielder Sheehan PlanasArteaga is mired in a horrible slump. Going into Monday Planas-Arteaga hadn’t had a hit since July 11, a span of more than two weeks, and was hitless in his last 21 at-bats.

Avalos From Page C1
“The truth is the more you play baseball the better you get at it,” Nicholson said. “Summer ball is truly just playing. There’s less practicing. When you play 50-60 more games you’re going to see that many more curveballs. You’re going to get used to hitting it.” Said Avalos: “My batting will improve. Everything from the mental part of the game, to the physical part of the game, will improve.” Nicholson said that about 34 of the 36 players in the Jackson baseball program play on summer teams. He believes one of the biggest differences — besides the high level of play — is the weather. “High school baseball is 20 games in bad weather,” Nicholson said with a laugh. “We’ve got baseball weather right now.” Avalos, a three-year starter for Jackson, said the other big difference is the level of competition. “The big difference is really the competitiveness,” Avalos said. “The competition gets better as you get older. The pitchers are good. The hitters are really good. It’s a little bit different from high school but I like it.” Nicholson thinks that unlike some other sports, such as football, baseball is a game that you can play every day for an extended amount of time — even a five-month span. “You’re playing a fun game. It’s not like football where you’re getting physically beat up and knocked around,” Nicholson said. “Who doesn’t want to pick up a stick and hit?” Another advantage of the long summer season is players aren’t impacted as much if they fall into a slump. While a five-game dip in the high school season could be the difference between a league title or missing the district tournament, in the summer there’s still plenty of time to right the ship. “It’s more like pro

baseball. One month of bad baseball doesn’t make you a bad team or a bad player,” Nicholson said. “In high school baseball, you have a bad five games, that’s a fourth of your season.” Additionally, the summer leagues are a good time to get noticed by scouts. Nicholson said that there are usually more scouts at summer games than during the high school season because college programs aren’t playing. It can add stress, Avalos said, seeing scouts from colleges at the games. “It’s fun, but you always want to keep up your game all the time. You don’t know who’s watching,” said Avalos, who hopes to play in college. “You just ignore everyone around you and focus on the game.” The latest www.baseballnorthwest.com poll had Avalos ranked at No. 42 in its Class of 2015 Washington Top Prospect List. The shortstop’s high school coach believes he’ll do enough to get noticed. “You see a couple more guys in the stands that you want to impress,” Nicholson said. “This is the time that they watch. He’s good enough to play at the next level.” Eventually, baseball will finally end for Avalos. High school football practices start on Aug. 20 and Avalos will switch from a middle infielder into a running back and linebacker for the Timberwolves. While many of Jackson’s football players have spent time this summer in the weight room, Avalos’ baseball schedule has prevented him from participating in the team’s workout program. But Timberwolves head football coach Joel Vincent isn’t too concerned about Avalos. “I don’t think it really affects him much,” Vincent said. “He’s a really smart kid. He told me, ‘Coach, I’m really busy all summer with baseball, but come Aug. 20th I’m all yours.’ “He’s not one that we worry about.”

Lions postpone contract talks with Suh until after season
SEAHAWKS | Notebook
Ex-Giant CB Thomas agrees to deal
By Dave Birkett

Herald Writer
Just because the Seattle Seahawks have what is widely considered the best secondary in the NFL, that doesn’t mean head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider aren’t still looking for ways to improve their roster, even at a position as deep as cornerback. The Seahawks agreed to a deal with veteran cornerback Terrell Thomas Monday, a move that has not yet been announced by the team, but that was confirmed by both Thomas and his agent via Twitter. “I’m so thankful for the Seattle Seahawks giving me an opportunity to continue my dream,” Thomas wrote. “Can’t wait to hit the field with my new teammates!” Thomas, 29, played for Carroll at USC and was a second-round pick by the New York Giants in 2008. Thomas missed all of the 2011 and 2012 season with knee injuries. He tore his ACL in 2011, then re-injured the same knee the next year, but returned to play in all 16 games last year as New York’s nickel cornerback. Thomas, who is listed at 6-0, 191 pounds, had 67 tackles, one interception, one sack and one forced fumble last year. The Seahawks currently have Jeremy Lane as their top nickel corner, but Thomas’ versatility — he was a starting cornerback in 2009 and 2010 before moving to the nickel spot following his injuries — could help him in the fight to earn a roster spot in a very deep secondary. The Seahawks have not yet announced the signing or a corresponding move, but they were already at the roster limit of 90 players, so a cut will have to be made to get Thomas onto the roster.
Seahawks on ESPN The Seahawks will give what ESPN is calling “a rare inside look at a National Football League team practice” Tuesday when the sports network airs a twohour special beginning at 10:30 a.m. SportsCenter anchor Kenny Mayne, a Kent native, will host the show, which will also feature Jon Gruden, Darren Woodson and John Clayton. Carroll doesn’t think the ESPN production will be a distraction, but rather an interesting inside look at the organization “They’ve been asking about it for quite some time, and we thought it would be OK,” Carroll said. “I’m not worried about them disrupting us at all, and I don’t mind contributing to what they’re trying to do. They’re trying to show a little bit more of an inside look in to what goes on in camp and practices, really from the football side of things; not from the entertainment side of things like some of the other shows do. So hopefully it’ll work out well. I’m anxious to see how it works together. I love working with Jon (Gruden). He’s a great guy to work with, so we’ll do everything we can to give them the opportunities and see if we can put together some good information for them.” Herald Writer John Boyle: jboyle@ heraldnet.com.
49ers running back Frank Gore (21) is 29th on the NFL’s all-time rushing list.
JOHN BAZEMORE / ASSOCIATED PRESS
Not ready to share 31-year-old 49ers’ running back Gore, in his 10th NFL season, isn’t ready to slow down By Matt Barrows The Sacramento Bee
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Asked how he’ll deal with a challenge from a phalanx of young and talented running backs this year, the 49ers’ Frank Gore turned toward his questioner, smiled and said, “I’m from Miami, man.” He could have left it at that. Gore, the 49ers’ all-time leading rusher, sharpened his skills and hardened his resolve by fighting for carries as a younger man, especially at the talentladen University of Miami, where he first competed with Clinton Portis for a role in the Hurricanes’ backfield and later did the same with Willis McGahee. Portis, now retired, is 30th on the all-time NFL rushing list; McGahee, a free agent, is 37th. Gore is 29th. After the 49ers drafted him in 2005, Gore quickly wrestled the starting job from incumbent Kevan Barlow, and he has been dispatching challengers since. Whether it’s been Barlow, Brian Westbrook, Brandon Jacobs or LaMichael James, the common thread of playing running back for the 49ers over the past decade has been frustration and a lack of playing time. Gore hardly ever leaves the playing field. “I’ve been out there competing ever since I left high school,” Gore said. “I’ve been with top guys who have been in the league. ... One day, (the young running backs) are going to
have to get this role. But while I’m here, I’m going to look at it as a challenge.” This year is shaping up as Gore’s biggest battle since he played for the Hurricanes. He’s 31 — ancient in running back years — and is surrounded by younger players, including two of the most highly regarded runners in the last two drafts, Marcus Lattimore and Carlos Hyde. Lattimore’s challenge of Gore may be delayed. When the 49ers’ first practice of training camp began Thursday, he was on the physically-unableto-perform list as he continues to come back from his 2012 knee injury. The 49ers were deep in running backs when training camp started. But Kendall Hunter, Gore’s top backup the past three seasons, is out for the season with a knee injury. And the NFL Network reported James suffered a dislocated elbow on Sunday and is expected to miss a month or so. If the 49ers are eying a runn i n g - b a c k- by - c o m m i t t e e approach this season, they’re not letting on. “I don’t know,” coach Jim Harbaugh said. “We could be talking about the wide receiver position same as the running back position. A very talented group of running backs, there’s no question about it.” It’s clear Gore is not the same runner he was when he outdueled Barlow as a rookie. His breakaway speed, which helped him gain a career-high
1,695 yards in 2006, is gone, and plays that call for Gore to run to the outside have been avoided. Still, he’s started every game for the last two seasons, and last year, including the playoffs, he had 324 carries, the most of his career. “When my number’s called to be out there, I’m out there,” he said. An added motivation for 2014: Gore is going into the final year of his contract, which also happens to be his 10th season with the 49ers. A decade with one team is a major milestone, especially for a running back. One of the walls inside 49ers headquarters is dedicated to the men who have played 10 or more years with them. It’s a small group of mostly household names — Montana, Rice, Lott, Young, etc. — but only one running back, Joe Perry, has his portrait on that wall. Perry is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and the 49ers have retired his number. When the season ends, Gore will be the 49th player on the wall — a fitting number for a player who propped up the offense during its darkest years. As far as sharing the backfield with his young teammates, Gore didn’t dance around the question like Harbaugh. He’s been protective of his status as the team’s top back all of his career, and he’s hungry for most of the carries this season, too. Said Gore: “I’m here. I’m still here. So why not?”
The Detroit Lions have tabled talks on a contract extension with defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh until after the season, but general manager Martin Mayhew and team president Tom Lewand both insisted Monday that they still expect to re-sign Suh at some point. Lewand announced the decision to halt talks with Suh before the Lions’ first full practice of training camp. The two sides have had offand-on negotiations since Suh hired Jimmy Sexton as his agent in early March. “In light of where we are, and most importantly, in light of getting ready for the season and keeping the focus where it should be, we’ve decided to table the discussions with Ndamukong on any further contract discussions until after the season,” Lewand said. “I think it’s the right thing for us to do. It’s the right thing for the team, I think it’s the right thing for everybody involved, and it allows us to keep the focus where it belongs.” Suh already is the highest-paid defensive tackle in the NFL, at $12.5 million, and his $22.4-million salary cap number is highest in the league. He almost certainly will join an elite group of six defensive players who currently make more than $13 million per year on his next deal. Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams and New England Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis are the highest-paid defensive players in the NFL, at an average of $16 million per season. Both Lewand and Mayhew declined to elaborate on what the sticking point is in contract talks to this point. Mayhew said after last season that he expected a new deal with Suh to be in place around the start of free agency, and after Suh changed agents, he said he thought one would be reached by mid-July. “This is one that’s taking a long time to get done,” Mayhew said. “We don’t have a lot of detail to give you on that but we still remain optimistic.” Asked why he remains optimistic, Mayhew said: “I think he wants to be here.” “I know him pretty well,” Mayhew said. “We’ve had a lot of conversations about it over the years. I feel comfortable with that.” Suh has insisted a handful of times since last year that he wants to sign a long-term contract with the Lions. The second overall pick in the 2010 NFL draft, he has made three Pro Bowl appearances in four seasons in Detroit. “I feel good about (getting a deal done),” Mayhew said. “We have the formula for getting the guy signed. We have a player that wants to be here, we have a team that wants to (sign) the player. Those are the two most important things.”
Cardinals find gem in RB Ellington, a 6th-round pick By Bob Baum Associated Press
GLENDALE, Ariz. — In one season, Andre Ellington has gone from sixth-round draft pick to dynamic featured back for the Arizona Cardinals. Team after team passed on Ellington until Arizona made him the 187th player chosen in that draft. He wasn’t even the first running back the Cardinals chose. Stanford’s Stepfan Taylor went to Arizona in the fifth round. Ellington, elusive and exceedingly quick, turned out to be a hidden gem. After amassing a combined 1,023 yards rushing and receiving as a rookie, Ellington’s role for the Cardinals has expanded and big things are expected of him. As long as the 5-foot-9, 199pound former Clemson standout can withstand the added punishment a higher profile will bring,
“He’s so explosive. He’s so quick,” quarterback Carson Palmer said. “His vision is so good. Selfishly, I want to use him in the passing game, but selfishly I want to use him in the running game, too. ... It’s hard to predict what he’s going to do. One of the most important things for him is to stay healthy.” The Cardinals have no one else who can do the things Ellington does — run with style and speed and catch passes anywhere on the field. “I’m very confident,” he said. “Last year I wasn’t aware of what my role would be on the team. But now I kind of have an idea.” Ellington was no immediate sensation as a rookie. He did not carry the ball once and caught one pass for 13 yards in the season-opening loss at St. Louis. The first glimpse of what he can do came in week six at San Francisco, where he carried the ball seven times for 56 yards, including
a 5-yard touchdown run, and caught five passes for 36 yards. A miserable game against Seattle followed (three rushes for 3 yards, two catches for 10 yards), then came the breakout game against Atlanta. The moment came when, with the ball on the Arizona 20, Ellington took a handoff and raced around and past the Falcons on an 80-yard touchdown run, tied for third-longest in franchise history. He finished with 154 yards rushing in 15 carries. On Dec. 15 at Tennessee, he gained 71 yards in 10 carries and caught four passes for 87 yards. With that performance, Ellington joined Hall of Famer Ollie Matson as the only Cardinal rookie to run for at least 70 yards and catch passes for at least 80 yards. Ellington finished the season with 652 yards in just 118 attempts, a 5.53 yards-per-carry average that was the best in the NFL for backs
with at least 100 rushes. Coach Bruce Arians quickly anointed Ellington the team’s lead back, replacing the retired Rashard Mendenhall. Ellington didn’t do a lot physically to prepare for the new role. “I built up the upper body a little bit more than I was last year,” he said. “Not too much. I didn’t want to get slow.” The Cardinals plan to use Ellington in ways that minimize the chance he’ll take a big hit. In addition to running back, he’s learned all three receiver positions. Arians likes sending him to the flat for a pass and a one-onone matchup with a defender. “It helps a lot. It gets me in space,” Ellington said. “That’s kind of like how I want to play. I want to play in space. I don’t have to take on those hits time after time. I’ll take it in space all day.” Don’t expect him to battle for extra yards, though.
“If I feel a guy bigger than me is coming after me, I’m going to go down,” he said. “I’m not going to take on that hit. Once I get the yards I can get, I’m not going to fight for any more.” Arians appreciates that approach. “Most guys who have long careers know that,” he said. “The guys who run real tough and try to run everybody over, they’ve got real short careers.” A hamstring injury at the NFL Combine and concerns about his size and durability apparently led to him falling so far in the draft. He still uses that as motivation. So he’s relishing this opportunity. “He’s in great shape and he’s assumed the role of leader now,” Arians said. “He’s not a rookie anymore. He carries himself differently. He’s a much more confident guy and more than ready to be the bell cow of the offense.”

Why people dislike Urban Meyer By Mike Bianchi Orlando Sentinel
S
helley Meyer, the wife of former University of Florida and current Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, claims I am a hater. She claims I often criticize her husband for some misunderstood reason. “Oh, don’t even bring up Bianchi,” she told Bucknuts.com — an Ohio State fan website. “He’s awful. He’s a hater. He hates Urban for some reason and I don’t know why.” Sadly, Shelley Meyer is correct. I don’t much like coaches such as her husband; disingenuous coaches who run crimeridden football programs; head-in-the-sand coaches who once allowed former player like Aaron Hernandez to stay on the University of Florida football team even after he sucker-punched a bar employee in Gainesville so violently that it burst the guy’s ear drum; enabling coaches who actually kept former UF running back Chris Rainey on the team even after he was arrested for threatening to kill his girlfriend. Hernandez, by the way, is currently in jail awaiting murder charges in New England. Rainey was just kicked off his second NFL team earlier this week for yet another conduct-related incident. So Shelley Meyer is right; I have an aversion to coaches of Urban’s ilk. But here is where Shelley is flatout wrong. She is wrong for ripping Gator fans and SEC fans and calling them more “dirty and mean” than their counterparts
in the Big Ten. And she is delusional when she suggests that those who really knew Urban at UF all still adore him. Puh-leeze. “Now, when we first went down there and we were winning and we were winning those national championships, Urban was the best thing ever,” Shelley told Bucknuts.com in reference to UF fans. “But when it’s not going good or something doesn’t go the way they want, they will turn in a second. Now, to be fair, there’s a lot of fans across the country that are like that — and I’m sure there’s some Ohio State people that could do that, too. “But, here is my perception (about Florida fans): I think they feel like they were kind of left at the altar. . They feel a betrayal, even though they were so mad at him about how our last season (2010) went. You can’t please all fans anywhere; you can’t. And I’ve just accepted that and I love when our fans are behind us and support us and I love that they love their team, but we can’t take it personally. “Because, not one person that is close to us (from their time in Florida) has ever come up and said anything bad. So, the people who are critical of us, it’s not the people who know us. It’s the people who aren’t even around the program.” Um, Shelley, you might want to give Jack Youngblood a call. He’s in the Gator Ring of Honor and the NFL Hall of Fame and once called Urban a “dear friend.” “When somebody (Urban) tells me something
to my face, I expect it to be truth,” Youngblood told me not long ago when I asked him if he was still friends with Urban. “When it turns out to not be the truth, that doesn’t put him very high on my Christmas card list. . He said character was the No. 1 thing and the main thing he was recruiting on. That didn’t happen. And then all of the stuff at the end of (his time at Florida), there just was no consistency to me.” Or maybe Shelley should talk to Lee McGriff, a former UF receiving great, who grew up a Gator fan in a Gator family and was the color man for UF’s radio broadcasts when Meyer coached the team “Urban made such grand statements about, ‘I’m a Gator. I love the Gators. This is utopia. This is paradise. This is my life.’”McGriff told me not long after Meyer took the Ohio State job. “And then he said he was done coaching because of burnout. And now, suddenly, he’s at Ohio State, which is as big-time as big-time gets. He jumped right back into the frying pan. It’s not like he’s coaching Dartmouth in the Ivy League. That left a lot of Gator fans saying, ‘Whoa, who is this guy?’” Or maybe Shelley should try to catch Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley in an honest moment and ask him how he feels about the way Urban took a $1 million bonus when he bolted UF after the worst season in 20 years because he was supposedly mentally and physically frazzled and wanted to spend more time with his family. A few weeks later, Meyer was flying around the country as
an ESPN analyst and a few months later he accepted the Ohio State job. Or maybe Shelley should go ask current UF coach Will Muschamp how he feels about Urban’s Buckeyes twice turning in the Gators for ticky-tack secondary recruiting violations that turned out to be unfounded. “We appreciate our friends from Ohio making sure we are compliant with NCAA rules,” a sarcastic Muschamp said last year when asked about Meyer reporting the Gators. “They certainly know a little bit about NCAA rules.” And maybe Shelley can also ask Muschamp how he feels about Urban leaving him a program bereft of depth and discipline and then negative-recruiting against the Gators as soon as he got to Ohio State. If she did maybe Muschamp would tell her about the incident first reported in The Sporting News in which Urban relentlessly pursued Maryland prep All-American wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who’d narrowed his choices to Ohio State, Florida and Maryland. In the midst of the recruiting process, Urban, according to the Sporting News, “told the Diggs family that he wouldn’t let his son go to Florida because of significant character issues in the locker room.” That’s right, Urban actually tried to use the renegade culture he created and fostered at UF to drive a recruit away from UF. See, Shelley, there’s a reason so many Gator fans feel that Urban betrayed their trust. Because he did.
