Convicted murderer Michele Donohue reacts as someone on the other side of the room calls out to her as she is led from the courtroom following sentencing Tuesday in Everett.

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — Michele Donohue made plans for her exhusband’s money. She bragged to the neighbor girl about buying a big television and toyed with the idea of installing a new jetted tub in the couple’s Arlington house. She sold off his beloved automobile collection, including a couple of muscle cars. She took half of his Boeing pension, netting her about $124,000. She also sold the property next to the house on Wade Road for about $110,000. Donohue told anyone who would listen she was a scorned woman. Byron Wright, she said, ran off with a redheaded twentysomething, driving a sports

car. She tweaked some of the details, depending on who she was talking to. She told Wright’s sister the pair was headed to Wisconsin. She told the divorce judge that Wright left behind all of his belongings. She claimed that he’d bragged his new girlfriend was wealthy and he didn’t need his longtime job at Boeing anymore. Donohue filed for divorce in October 2004. She said she couldn’t serve Wright with the paperwork because she didn’t

know where he was. Secretly she knew Wright’s exact whereabouts. Likely in September of that same year, Donohue repeatedly stabbed her husband, dismembered his body and buried him under 48 yards of fill dirt next to the shop. He was 53. She and her new husband burned through Wright’s money. She said they “spent the money on vacation trips and had fun.” A Snohomish County Superior Court judge on Tuesday

sentenced Donohue to 16 years in prison. She faced up to 18 years under the law. Judge George Bowden said Donohue deserved to “be locked up,” but he also believes the community would be better off if she serves some time under the supervision of the state Department of Corrections once she is released from prison. That wouldn’t have been possible if she’d received the maximum. Donohue, 48, finally confessed to killing her husband after nearly a decade of trying to keep her crime hidden beneath dirt and later concrete. She pleaded guilty earlier this month to seconddegree murder. See DEATH, back page, this section

Airline passengers told to flush drugs By Rod McGuirk Associated Press

CANBERRA, Australia — An Australian airline apologized Wednesday for a warning a flight attendant gave passengers who might have been flying high that there were drugsniffer dogs awaiting them at Sydney airport. Many of the 210 passengers aboard the Jetstar flight from Gold Coast

Missing From Page A1

“What is happening right now is completely out of character,” said Patrick O’Neil, one of her two sons. There have been no signs of her car: a steel blue 1987 Chevy Nova, Washington license plate ADP6803. The car was built in a joint-venture manufacturing plant in California and included some Toyota Corolla parts. Her family doesn’t believe the car would have any mechanical problems. “She kept that car pretty close to immaculate, always in great working order,” Patrick O’Neil said. Everett police are leading the investigation. They have shared information with several agencies, Everett police officer Aaron Snell said.

city on Sunday night had attended the Splendour in the Grass weekend music festival at Byron Bay and were returning home. “We have been told there are sniffer dogs and quarantine officers waiting in the domestic terminal,” Sydney’s The Daily Telegraph newspaper on Wednesday quoted the attendant as telling passengers via the Airbus A320’s public address system.

“If you need to dispose of anything you shouldn’t have, we suggest you flush it now,” he added. The newspaper said the warning prompted passengers to rush for the toilets. Jetstar spokesman Stephen Moynihan confirmed the newspaper report was accurate. He said the public response to the announcement had been “mixed.”

The airline said it routinely makes quarantine announcements on such flights that cross state borders. “The crew member’s words were poorly chosen and are plainly at odds with the professional standards we’d expect from our team,” Jetstar said in a statement. “We apologize to customers offended by the comments.”

The search has taken several forms. Police have looked for any sign in the county’s densely populated west side. Roughly a dozen Snohomish County Search and Rescue staff and volunteers have been involved. Some have driven the main forest service roads from Granite Falls to Barlow Pass. A Darrington police sergeant checked along the main roads north of Barlow Pass to White Chuck Mountain, in the Glacier Peak wilderness area. “They weren’t working from any leads or tips to go in that area, just trying to follow what might be an obvious path of travel for someone in that area,” sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. The searches have occurred over several days. “It has been ongoing since her disappearance,” Ireton said.

On Friday, a Washington State Patrol airplane was used to trace a possible route O’Neil might have taken and to look for any signs she could have driven off the road. The plane, equipped with special search cameras, followed Highway 9, headed east to Granite Falls and flew about 10 miles up the Mountain Loop Highway. Tall trees along the highway made the aerial search challenging. “Who knows how large the search area could be?” said trooper Ryan Santuff, a pilot with the State Patrol’s aviation unit. “It’s a tough one for law enforcement.” Other law enforcement agencies that have been assisting in the search include the Port of Seattle, Port Angeles, Tulalip and Lacey police departments as well as the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office.

All hospitals in the state have been contacted. “At this time we are working on the few leads we have,” Snell said. O’Neil’s family fanned out in different directions from Marysville, posting fliers at convenience stores and other spots where people might remember seeing her. The family also has used social media to reach thousands of people via Twitter and Facebook. Ethel O’Neil grew up in Port Angeles and has lived in Everett more than a decade, Patrick O’Neil said. O’Neil is described as 5-foot-6 and about 120 pounds, with blue eyes and white hair. Anyone who spots her is asked to call 911. Patrick O’Neil frequently checks to see if there has been any activity on his mother’s bank accounts, figuring that by now she would have used up any cash she had on her at the time. There have been no transactions. He has described his mother as a gentle, mildmannered woman who is friendly and outgoing. She has been part of a singing group that visits senior homes. Patrick O’Neil, 68 and living in Olympia, hasn’t given up. “There is no rhyme or reason to anything that is going on,” he said. “All we can do is hope.” Eric Stevick: 425-3393446; stevick@heraldnet. com.

Firefighters offer thanks An Everett church and two businesses stepped up to help several families who lost their homes in a fire. By Rikki King Herald Writer

EVERETT — Several families remain displaced after a twoalarm fire that destroyed a south Everett apartment complex July 20.

At the same time, firefighters have been moved to thank a church and two local businesses that stepped up to help. The American Red Cross and the Volunteers of America are working with families on longterm housing options, local Red

Cross director Chuck Morrison said Tuesday. Each family has different needs, he said. More than 40 people in all lost their homes in the earlymorning fire at the Beverly Village Apartments at 801 75th St. The building, worth about $4 million, was damaged beyond repair. Some of those displaced still are spending nights at the

emergency shelter set up at a church along Casino Road, while others are stopping by for meals in the daytime, Morrison said. Some are staying with friends. One family has moved to Idaho. The Red Cross paid for their transportation expenses, Morrison said. Many of those displaced are See THANKS, Page A10

he show was called “Margaret.” Inspired by a scrapbook and brought to life by gifted musicians, the April 11 concert was the vision of Everett singer-songwriter Jason Webley. Its subject was Margaret Rucker Armstrong, a daughter of one of the city’s first families. The Historic Everett Theatre was a packed house. Nearly a dozen performers wowed the crowd with original interpretations of the Everett woman’s life. Webley, along with his friend “Chicken” John Rinaldi, told how Margaret Rucker’s story found its way home. The scrapbook — filled with young Margaret’s photos and poetry, and newspaper clippings about her life — was found by Rinaldi in a San Francisco dumpster. It wasn’t until years later, when Rinaldi mentioned the scrapbook to his friend from Everett, that Webley learned about Margaret Rucker, who had married a Navy man and moved to California. “She was a poet who led a beautiful, tragic life — and the way that her scrapbook found its way to me was unlikely and magical,” Webley wrote in an email describing his latest effort. The Everett concert was a once-only experience, but Webley recently launched an online Kickstarter campaign so the music and the story will find new listeners. He plans to make a CD and create a book based on the Everett woman’s life and music from that amazing April night. Started July 22 with a goal of $11,111, the fund was up to $39,678 by Tuesday afternoon, with 22 days left to go. A unique artist and traveler, Webley has fans all over the world. He was pleased at the “Margaret” show to see a diverse mix, “people who were interested in me, and people interested in Everett and Everett’s history.” In answer to why the successful Kickstarter effort continues, Webley said donors are essentially preordering the album. “I’d love it if it keeps on spreading into a bigger circle, and this story gets a bigger audience,” Webley said Monday. With the largest donations, Webley promises on the Kickstarter site a tour of Everett, with a glimpse of the Rucker mansion and other spots

ELECTION 2014 | 7th Congressional District

Four facing tough foe By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott has run for Congress 13 times and never lost. Don’t expect the Seattle Democrat’s streak to be broken this year. McDermott, the longest serving member of Washington’s congressional delegation, faces four underfunded and little known opponents in a bid for a 14th term in the U.S. House of Representatives. He along with one of that quartet will advance out of the Aug. 5 primary and into a run-off in the general election. The winner will earn a two-year term in Washington’s 7th Congressional District representing much of Seattle as well as Edmonds, Woodway and part of Shoreline. McDermott’s foes are: ■ Craig Keller, who led efforts earlier this year to repeal a minimum wage hike in Seattle and plastic bag ban in Issaquah; ■ Scott Sutherland, a grocery store worker intent on development of green energy technology; ■ Doug McQuaid, an attorney and 2012 candidate for Supreme Court; ■ GoodSpaceGuy, a perennial See ELECTION, Page A6

Thomas said she and Lanie McMullen, the city’s executive director of economic development, met with Webley before the show, and that the city was supportive of his project. Webley visited with David Dilgard, a history specialist at the Everett Public Library, to learn more about the Ruckers. Webley also met Everett’s Bill Rucker, a grandson of prominent Everett pioneer Bethel Rucker. Margaret Rucker Armstrong, who died in California in 1959, was Bill Rucker’s aunt. Born in Everett in 1907, Margaret was the daughter of Bethel and Ruby Rucker. Brothers Bethel and Wyatt Rucker had come from Ohio with their widowed mother, Jane Rucker. They settled in Everett in 1889, and acquired land that is now the city’s central business district. Rucker Avenue is one of many reminders of the family’s prominence.

A proposal to impose a twotenths of 1 percent sales and use tax for road improvements in Monroe has made its way onto the Aug. 5 primary election ballot. If approved, the money would be used to maintain Monroe’s roads, which need about $12 million worth of work, according to city estimates. The tax is expected to bring in about $826,000 a year.

The victim was believed to be a 70-year-old man, Snohomish County sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. The man’s family last saw him about 2 p.m., and he said he was going swimming, Ireton said.

CAN-AM COINS

Three teens and two children got a safety talk on Tuesday after they prompted a river rescue call-out near Snohomish. The group was floating the Pilchuck River about 2 p.m. on inner tubes without using life jackets, Fire Chief Ron Simmons said. Their parents lost sight of them, panicked and called 911. The kids all were found safe, Simmons said. They had accidentally floated farther than they intended. The incident happened near Pilchuck Park off Cypress Avenue.

Every year, adults and children die on Snohomish County’s rivers, particularly during the summer months. The body of a 21-year-old man was pulled from the Snohomish River this past weekend. His identity has not yet been released by county officials.

SEATTLE — A ferry carrying hundreds of passengers on the Washington State Ferry system’s busiest route has lost power. Ferry spokeswoman Marta Coursey says the Tacoma on the Seattle to Bainbridge Island run lost propulsion Tuesday afternoon. She said the vessel, carrying 405 passengers and 138 cars, had dropped anchor and was stable in the water off Bainbridge Island, west of Seattle. Coursey said tug boats have been dispatched to tow the Tacoma to shore. Another ferry that was on the Bremerton to Seattle run, the Sealth, was rerouted to be on standby status next to the Tacoma.

Burnout on fire canceled Associated Press WINTHROP — Erratic winds forced crews to cancel a burnout operation that had been planned Tuesday near Washington’s biggest wildfire to deprive it of fuel. Crews had planned to send flames from a secure fire line on the northeast side of the Carlton Complex back toward the main fire, through rugged terrain that they had been unable to attack directly. Crews conducted a test burn Tuesday and decided it wasn’t a good idea, spokesman Alan Hoffmeister said. The Carlton Complex, which has burned about 390 square miles in the scenic Methow Valley, was two-thirds contained Tuesday. Temperatures are expected to reach the 90s this week.

Website: www.mcdermottHe came to Congress to work on national health care and deal with veterans’ problems and those are still his primary focus.

or sexual orientation.” Sutherland, 51, of Seattle, is the other Republican in the race. He ran against McDermott in 2012 and has not altered his campaign strategy much. “I am running for Congress to promote green energy technology, HIV/ AIDS research and fiscal responsibility,” he said. On the federal budget, he said, “We need to stop the wasteful spending in Congress. I have no problem putting a thin red line under any and all wasteful spending bills from any member of Congress, regardless of their party affiliation. The United Food and Commercial Workers union member also is pushing for a constitutional amendment requiring members of Congress write all proposed laws by hand. If one member isn’t physically able, another member can do it for them. GoodSpaceGuy, 75, who lives just south of the Seattle city line, is vying on behalf of the Work and Wealth Party. Topping his agenda is abolition of the minimum wage as a first step to achieving a competitive free market economy. If wages are set by supply and demand, more jobs will be available. McDermott’s support of policies to boost the federal minimum wage “will continue the unemployment. My policies will lead to full employment,” he said. GoodSpaceGuy’s other focus is creating orbital space colonies. At least 200 people should be living in such colonies by now, he said, but federal authorities do not understand space colonies and are not investing in their establishment.

hopeful whose chief focus is on establishing colonies in space. While all four challengers are serious about serving in Congress, none are raising money on which to campaign against the incumbent. McDermott, on the other hand, has collected in $380,000 in the election cycle and had $90,727 on hand as of July 16, according to campaign finance reports filed with the Federal Election Commission. Though most political prognosticators consider a McDermott victory in November all but a surething, the congressman intends to keep an election routine of putting out yard signs and being among constituents as often as possible. “I work at being out there all the time. When communities are having their events, I go to their events. I’m accessible if they want to reach me,” he said. “People know me in the district.” McDermott, 77, was born in Chicago and moved to Seattle in the 1960s to specialize in psychiatry after graduating from medical school. He served in the U.S. Navy at Long Beach Naval Station, treating soldiers and sailors returning from the Vietnam War. McDermott entered politics upon his return to Seattle in 1970. That year he won a seat in the state House. He served in the House and state Senate until 1987. A year later, he won a seat in the U.S. House.

issue of illegal immigration. Through his group, Respect Washington, he’s pushed several initiatives aimed at preventing undocumented immigrants from obtaining jobs and driver’s licenses, and from voting. “Although I am most capable of researching the facts and casting a vote on all other issues, I will be extremely, extremely focused on protecting the American worker (and honest employers) from immigration/labor fraud,” he wrote in an email. He’s dead set against any reforms that would provide a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants living in the United States. “My prime motivation in running for Congress is to completely reject the political/financial payoff that is “amnesty,” he wrote. McQuaid, 69, of Seattle, is in his first congressional race. He ran for state Supreme Court in 2012 and lost to Justice Susan Owens. A combat infantry soldier in the Vietnam War, McQuaid earned his law degree in 1972 and been in private practice since. He’s competing as an independent — described on his campaign website as “Lone Wolf McQuaid” — and vows to not solicit contributions or endorsements. “A Representative should not be beholden to any special interests or affiliations promoting partisan agendas,” he writes in the online voters guide. “I pledge to be an independent leader working for the best interests of each resident my District, regardless of his/her political agenda, ethnicity, race

Stop in for Prospector Liquidation's 'Deal of the Day'

even more affordable, the store offers a Deal of the Day. “The Deal of the Day is intended to offer a great value that the customer literally can’t pass up,” Keller said “You never know what you will find here, but if you do find something that you need or want, the Prospector crew encourag-

es you to purchase it while you are there because chances are it won’t be there when you come back for it,” Barnett said. Prospector Liquidation, located just off of 36th Street in Everett, is open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday; and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

is no guarantee it will be here the next time you drop in.” “Much of our product is one-of-a-kind and, even though we may always have beds or furniture or rugs, the styles available are constantly changing,” co-owner Rich Barnett added. How do the owners find such bargains for their customers? By purchasing product overruns and closeouts. “Much of our product is purchased sight unseen in product lots. When it arrives, although we have a general knowledge of the type of product, we don’t know what the actual

items will be,” he said. You can count on a variety of canned foods and fresh produce to be on hand, though the brands available are ever-changing. As for the rest of the sales floor, depending on what day you come, you’ll find everything from small appliances, camping tents, tables and chairs to baby cribs, sofas and recliners. Barnett also noted that Prospector Liquidation does a huge business in doors, windows and molding, all of which are located in a warehouse behind the store. “We encourage customers to make sure they

purchase enough to finish their jobs because the product may be different the next time they come in,” Barnett said. Since springtime has folks ready to spruce up their yards, the Prospector team has scouted out a large selection of bistro sets and patio furniture, some with gas fire pits included. For the indoors, the store currently has a good quantity of contemporary leather recliner and ottoman sets and behindthe-door storage cabinets, some with full-length mirrors.

Russia to pay for ‘choice’ The U.S., EU impose new sanctions aimed at the Russian economy. Associated Press WASHINGTON — Spurred to action by the downing of the Malaysian airliner, the European Union approved dramatically tougher economic sanctions Tuesday against Russia, including an arms embargo and restrictions on state-owned banks. President Barack Obama swiftly followed with an expansion of U.S. penalties targeting key sectors of the Russian economy. The coordinated sanctions were aimed at increasing pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to end

his country’s support for separatists in eastern Ukraine whom the West blames for taking down the passenger jet nearly two weeks ago. Obama and U.S. allies also warned that Russia was building up troops and weaponry along its border with Ukraine. “Today Russia is once again isolating itself from the international community, setting back decades of genuine progress,” Obama said. “It does not have to be this way. This a choice Russia and President Putin has made.” Tuesday’s announcements followed an intense lobbying effort from Obama aimed at getting European leaders to toughen their penalties on Russia and match earlier U.S. actions. Europe has a far stronger economic relationship with Russian than the U.S., but EU

leaders have been reluctant to impose harsh penalties in part out of concern about a negative impact on their own economies. However, Europe’s calculus shifted sharply after a surfaceto-air missile brought down the passenger jet, killing nearly 300 people including more than 200 Europeans. Obama and his counterparts from Britain, France, Germany and Italy finalized plans to announce the broader sanctions Monday in an unusual joint video conference. European Union President Herman Van Rompuy and the president of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, said the sanctions sent a “strong warning” that Russia’s destabilization of Ukraine

cannot be tolerated. “When the violence created spirals out of control and leads to the killing of almost 300 innocent civilians in their flight from the Netherlands to Malaysia, the situation requires urgent and determined response,” the two top EU officials said. Obama, responding to a question after his announcement at the White House, said, “No, it’s not a new cold war.” Still, U.S. officials say sanctions already rippling through Russia are having a detrimental impact on the country’s economy. Russia’s growth projections have been downgraded, and Obama said $100 billion in capital was already expected to flee Russia even before Tuesday’s joint U.S.European announcements.

Highway bill awaits action by House

Stowaway dies on Air Force cargo jet WASHINGTON — The body of a young stowaway was found inside a compartment near the wheel well of an Air Force cargo jet that had landed in Germany, U.S. military officials said Tuesday, triggering questions about the security of an aircraft that had made several stops in Africa. Air Force personnel found the boy’s body Sunday night after spotting an orange cloth in a small opening by the landing gear while airmen during a detailed inspection of the C-130J aircraft when it landed at Ramstein Air Base. When they tugged on the wet cloth, they discovered it was attached to a boy in the compartment, officials said. The Pentagon’s press secretary, Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby, said the stowaway was a black male who may have been of African origin. The plane was on a routine mission in Africa and had made stops in Senegal, Mali, Chad, Tunisia and Naval Air Station Sigonella in Sicily before arriving at Ramstein.

S.D.: ‘Pink slime’ lawsuit Several food writers, including a New York Times reporter, have been subpoenaed by a meat producer as part of its $1.2 billion defamation lawsuit against ABC in regard to the network’s coverage of a beef product dubbed “pink slime” by critics. The subpoenas were issued to five writers — three reporters for the online Food Safety News, Times reporter Michael Moss and noted food writer Michele Simon — asking each to supply copies of any communications they had with ABC in 2012. Beef Products Inc. sued the network in 2012 seeking $1.2 billion in damages for the coverage of the meat product the industry calls “lean, finely textured beef,” which critics dubbed “pink slime.” BPI said ABC’s coverage misled consumers into believing the product was unsafe and led to the closure of three plants and roughly 700 layoffs.

WASHINGTON — The Senate on Tuesday voted to change the funding and timing of a House bill to keep federal highway funds flowing to states in an effort to force Congress to come to grips with chronic funding problems that have plagued transportation programs in recent years. The House could accept the Senate’s changes or reject them and send the bill back to the Senate. Whichever outcome, a highway funding bill is still expected to clear Congress before lawmakers adjourn for the summer later this week. The Senate took up a $10.8 billion bill the House passed last week that would have kept the federal Highway Trust Fund solvent through next May and voted 66-31 to strip out controversial funding provisions, leaving $8.1 billion. That’s enough to keep programs going only through Dec. 19. The amendment’s sponsors — Democrats Tom Carper of Delaware and Barbara Boxer of California and Republican Bob Corker of Tennessee — said they want Congress to reach a long-term funding solution this year and they hope that will be easier after the November election when partisan tempers will presumably have cooled. The vote on passage of the bill was 79-18. Congress has shored up the trust fund four times since 2008. Lawmakers said they don’t want to do another shortterm patch. “I remain deeply concerned that if we kick this can into next year that the next Congress — like so many Congresses before it — will be unable to summon the courage necessary to write a long-term plan for our nation’s infrastructure,” Carper said. The trust fund is in its current straits because the federal 18.4-cent-a-gallon gas tax and the 24.4-cent-a-gallon diesel tax— the fund’s chief source of revenue — haven’t been increased in more than 20 years, while the cost of maintaining and expanding the nation’s aging infrastructure has gone up. The fuel-efficiency of cars and trucks is also increasing while people are driving less per capita. One solution would be to raise fuel taxes, but lawmakers are reluctant to do that in an election year. “I haven’t heard of a single person that doesn’t realize this issue has got to be dealt with, and the way we’ve been dealing with it is totally irresponsible,” said Corker, who has bucked his party by introducing a bill to raise the gas tax.

An Israeli armored vehicle stirs up dust Tuesday near the Israel Gaza border. Palestinian officials say the death toll in the three-week conflict has risen above 1,200.

Hamas hit hard By Karin Laub and Peter Enav Associated Press

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israel unleashed its heaviest bombardment in a three-week-old war against Hamas on Tuesday, striking symbols of the militant group’s control in Gaza and firing tank shells that Palestinian officials said shut down the strip’s only power plant. The fighting came as diplomatic efforts to forge a truce remained stalled despite a death toll that Palestinian officials said rose above 1,200 on Tuesday. The shadowy leader of the Hamas military wing said his group will not cease fire until its demands are met. On Tuesday evening, residents of the sprawling Jebaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza reported intense tank shelling. Ten members of an extended family were killed and 50 other people wounded in the area, Palestinian health officials said. Two brothers driving in a car with markings of a U.N. aid agency were killed by shrapnel, an area resident said. “It was like an earthquake,” Moussa al-Mabhouh, a volunteer for Gaza’s Civil Defense, said of the scene. “Roofs collapsed, walls cracked and wounded people everywhere.” The heavy strikes — which came a day after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday warned of a “prolonged” campaign against Hamas — were a new blow to international efforts to reach a sustainable truce in the fighting. Israel has vowed to stop the Hamas rocket and mortar fire that has reached increasingly deeper into its territory and to destroy a sophisticated network of tunnels that have been used by the militants to infiltrate the Jewish state. For its part, Hamas has so far rejected cease-fire efforts unless its demands are met,

Conn.: Millions sought A man cleared of murder and rape charges after being locked up for two decades made an appeal for millions of dollars in compensation Tuesday, telling the state claims commissioner about the fear he endured in prison. Kenneth Ireland was imprisoned at the age of 18 and released in 2009 at age 39 after DNA tests proved that another man fatally beat a mother of four in 1986. He’s seeking up to $8 million under the state’s wrongful incarceration law. “You never think this is going to happen to you, especially in America,” Ireland said. “I figured there was an error being made and that they’d figure this out and it would go away.”

A Palestinian boy, wounded in an Israeli strike Tuesday in Jebaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, is being treated at the emergency room of the Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahiya.

including a lifting of a punishing blockade. The rare remarks by the Hamas military wing’s leader, Mohammed Deif, were broadcast late Tuesday on AlAqsa TV, the satellite station of Hamas. “There is not going to be a cease-fire as long as the demands of our people are not fulfilled,” he said. Deif’s voice was recognizable in the audio statement. He has survived repeated Israeli assassination attempts and has operated from hiding for years. Al-Aqsa also broadcast a videotape it said showed an infiltration by Hamas fighters into Israel on Monday through a border tunnel. At least 1,210 Palestinians have been killed, including 109 on Tuesday, and 7,000 wounded since the start of fighting July 8, said Palestinian health official Ashraf al-Kidra. He said 16 other people died of wounds sustained on previous days. The dead included multiple members of at least five families who were pulled from the rubble Tuesday after airstrikes and tank shelling struck their homes, including the mayor of a refugee camp and his 70-year-old father,

according to Palestinian health officials and the Palestinian Red Crescent. Israel has reported 53 soldiers and three civilians killed. Already, the intensity and the scope of the current Gaza operation is on par with an invasion five years ago, which ended with Israel unilaterally withdrawing after hitting Hamas hard. On Tuesday, Israeli warplanes carried out dozens of attacks, leveling the home of the top Hamas leader in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh, and damaging the offices of the movement’s Al-Aqsa satellite TV station, a central mosque in Gaza City and government offices. Haniyeh’s house, in a narrow alley of the Shati refugee camp, was reduced to rubble but no one was hurt. Residents placed a large framed portrait of Haniyeh atop the wreckage and draped it with green Hamas flags and Palestinian national banners. Israel has targeted several homes of Hamas leaders but none has been killed — presumably because they have kept a low profile. Haniyeh said in a statement Tuesday that “destroying stones will not break our determination.”

Pacific Gas & Electric was charged Tuesday with lying to regulators in connection with a fatal pipeline explosion that leveled a suburban Northern California neighborhood in 2010. The U.S. attorney in San Francisco announced the obstruction of justice charge and 27 related counts, which are in a new indictment charging the utility with felonies. It replaces a previous indictment that contained 12 counts, but not obstruction.

Generation of tanners see melanoma spike By Anne Flaherty Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Stop sunbathing and using indoor tanning beds, the acting U.S. surgeon general warned in a report released Tuesday that cites an alarming 200 percent jump in deadly melanoma cases since 1973. The report blames a generation of sun worshipping for the $8 billion spent to treat all forms of skin cancer each year. Rear Adm. Boris Lushniak said state and local officials need to do more to help people cover up, such as providing more shade at parks and sporting events. Schools should

encourage kids to wear hats and sunscreen and schedule outdoor activities when the sun is low in the sky. And colleges and universities should eliminate indoor tanning beds on campus much as they would prohibit tobacco use, he added. “We need more states and institutions on board with these policies that discourage or restrict indoor tanning by our youth,” Lushniak said. “Tanned skin is damaged skin.” The surgeon general’s “call to action” plan is part of a broader push this year by government officials and public health advocates to raise awareness on what they say has become a

major public health problem. While other cancers such as lung cancer are decreasing, skin cancer is rising rapidly. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, 5 million people are treated for skin cancer each year. And the number of Americans with skin cancer in the past three decades eclipse the number of all other cancers combined. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer with 9,000 people dying each year from the mostly preventable disease. Stacey Escalante of Las Vegas, Nevada, blames years of sunbathing with baby oil and using indoor tanning beds for her

melanoma diagnosis in 2005. The mother of two was a 34-year-old television reporter training for a marathon when she found a small red growth the size of a pencil eraser on her lower back. By the time she saw a doctor, the cancer had traveled to her lymph node, requiring two surgeries that left an 8-inch scar. She then spent two years on an experimental drug. Escalante said she realizes now that she was lucky to survive, and was foolish to think she was immune to skin cancer because her father was Hispanic and she tanned well. Now an advocate for early detection, Escalante is pushing

for state legislation prohibiting minors from using indoor tanning beds. The Melanoma Research Foundation says exposure to tanning beds before age 30 increases a person’s risk of developing melanoma by 75 percent. “If only I had first gone to the doctor, when I first saw that spot, instead of ignoring it, I would have saved my family and myself ... the emotional, physical and financial burden of skin cancer,” she said. “It was absolutely overwhelming.” Howard Koh, assistant secretary for health for the Department of Health and Human Services, said skin cancer prevention needs to become a bigger part of

daily American life. “We need to change the social norm with respect to tanning and shatter the myth that tanned skin is somehow a sign of health,” Koh said. Doctors recommend doing regular skin checks for new moles and seeing a doctor if any change in size, shape or color. Doctors also recommend applying at least 1 ounce of sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more to exposed skin and reapplying every two hours, more if swimming or sweating. Children in particular should be protected because bad sunburns in childhood are thought to greatly increase risk later in life.

Clean-air rules assailed as too much, too little By Dan Elliott and Ray Henry Associated Press

DENVER — Hundreds of people across the country lined up Tuesday to tell the Environmental Protection Agency that its new rules for power-plant pollution either go too far or not far enough. The agency is holding hearings this week in Atlanta, Denver, Pittsburgh and Washington on President Barack Obama’s plan to cut carbon-dioxide emissions by 30 percent by 2030, with 2005 levels as the starting point. The rules are intended to curb global warming. Coal mines, electric utilities, labor unions, environmental groups, renewable energy companies, government agencies, religious and civil rights organizations and others sent representatives to the hearings. John Kinkaid, a Moffat County, Colorado, commissioner, told the EPA in Denver the rules would devastate his area, home to a major power plant. “Energy is the lifeblood of our economy,” he said. “Moffat County deserves

Retired coal miner Stanley Sturgill of Harlan County, Kentucky, testifies Tuesday in Denver that coal fired power plants are a danger to public health, on the first of two days of public hearings held by the Environmental Protection Agency on President Barack Obama’s plan to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 30 percent by 2030.

better than to be turned into another Detroit, Michigan.” Retired coal miner Stanley Sturgill of Harlan County, Kentucky, traveled to Denver to tell the EPA that coal-fired plants are crippling his health and the public’s. Sturgill said he suffers from black

lung and other respiratory diseases. “The rule does not do nearly enough to protect the health of the front-line communities,” he said. “We’re dying, literally dying, for you to help us.” In Atlanta, Jim Doyle, president of Business Forward and a former

Commerce Department official in the Clinton administration, said the benefits of fighting climate change — and the extreme weather it is blamed for — outweigh the potential costs. “Over the past four years, American factories have been disrupted by typhoons in Thailand,

hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, droughts in Texas, tornadoes in Kentucky, falling water levels across the Great Lakes and flooding in the Northeast,” he said. Others at the Atlanta hearing said the rules could raise electricity prices and cause job losses without significantly curtailing global carbon emissions. As U.S. utilities switch to natural gas, more U.S. coal is being shipped and burned overseas. With only five minutes each to address the EPA, scores of advocates in Denver staged rallies for or against the proposed rules. “They’re basically trying to shut down coal, which takes away my job,” said Mike Zimmerman, a foreman at the Twentymile Mine in northwestern Colorado, who attended a rally sponsored by Americans for Prosperity. At a rally staged by a group called Colorado Moms Know Best, Jaime Travis said the rules would cause some disruption but should be implemented. “It won’t be painless. But as a mother, I am truly worried about the future, not just of my state, but the

country and the world,” she said. The Denver meetings are the only ones being held in the West, where the topic of air pollution traditionally sets off a loud debate over environmental values and economic vitality. Three of the top 10 coal-producing states are in the West — Wyoming, Montana and Colorado. Wyoming is No. 1, producing nearly 40 percent of the U.S. total and more than three times as much as West Virginia, the No. 2 state, according to the National Mining Association. States would have wide latitude in choosing how to meet the administration’s goals. That leaves an uncertain fate for some of the West’s large coal-fired power plants, including Montana’s 2,100-megawatt Colstrip plant. Montana’s Democratic governor, Steve Bullock, has said at least some of Colstrip’s four units could keep operating if the state can cut emissions in other areas. Four power plants on tribal land in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah will be dealt with under a separate proposal yet to be announced.

Assistant Everett Fire Marshal Eric Hicks stopped and visited with folks at the shelter Tuesday. One woman told him the shelter has been her home for more than a week. It was a two-fold mission: During the same trip, Hicks gave the church and two local businesses letters of thanks from the Everett Fire Department for their help after the fire.

A major focus for that meeting will be fire prevention and safety, Hicks said. Investigators determined the fire was caused by clothes and other items being left too close to a baseboard heater. The apartment where it started had no smoke alarms. Even in the summertime, it’s important to leave a three-foot clearance area around baseboard and wall heaters, Hicks said. That area is not a safe place to keep anything combustible. A thermostat can be triggered by a drop in temperature, but also by someone bumping into the wall or the outstretched arm of a curious child, Hicks said.

Amgen move means job losses The pharmaceutical giant says it is shuttering facilities in Bothell and Seattle. By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

BOTHELL — Despite “robust growth,” Amgen, one of the world’s biggest

pharmaceutical companies, is shutting down operations in Bothell and Seattle, which means the loss of several hundred jobs in Washington. The company also plans to pull out of Colorado and reduce its headquarters workforce, while expanding in biotechnology hubs in San Francisco and Cambridge, Massachusetts. The moves are expected to trim operating costs,

Amgen CEO Robert Bradway told investors and stock analysts on Tuesday. In all, the company plans to cut 2,400 to 2,900 jobs — about 12 to 15 percent of its global workforce — by the end of 2015. Bradway praised workers at the locations to be closed, saying they “have made enormous contributions to advancing biotechnology over the years and the

surrounding communities have been very supportive, so it is with great reluctance that we acknowledge the need to exit.” Amgen, which is based in Thousand Oaks, California, is talking with “third-parties about potential use of the facilities,” he said. The changes will shrink See AMGEN, Page A12

Escaping email: Inspired vision or just a pipe dream? By Michael Liedtke Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO— Dustin Moskovitz is plotting an escape from email. The 30-year-old entrepreneur has learned a lot about communication since he teamed up with his college roommate Mark Zuckerberg to create Facebook a decade ago, and that knowledge is fueling an audacious attempt to change the way people connect at work, where the incessant drumbeat of email has become an excruciating annoyance. Moskovitz is trying to turn that chronic headache into an afterthought with Asana, a San Francisco startup he runs with former Facebook and Google product manager, Justin Rosenstein. Asana peddles software that combines the elements of a communal notebook, social network, instant messaging application and online calendar to enable teams of employees to

share information and do most of their jobs without relying on email. “We are trying to make all the soul-sucking work that comes with email go away,” Rosenstein said as Moskovitz nods sitting across from him in a former brewery that serves as Asana’s headquarters. “This came out of a deep, heartfelt pain that Dustin and I were experiencing, along with just about everyone around us.” The misery keeps mounting in the corporate world, which remains an email haven. This year, each worker using a business email account will send and receive a daily average of 121 mail messages, a 15 percent increase from 105 per day in 2011, according to The Radicati Group, which tracks email usage. In contrast, consumers have been weaning themselves from electronic inboxes and increasingly turning to digital alternatives such as Facebook, Twitter and mobile messaging.

More email translates to less productivity as workers spend more time weeding their inboxes and puzzling over convoluted exchanges among a hodgepodge of colleagues and managers scattered in various offices—or sometimes just a cubicles away. To exacerbate matters, vital pieces of business information are often corralled in a worker’s inbox instead of in a database that can be searched by anyone working on the same project. If companies set up communications channels that worked more like social networks, the amount of time workers could devote to other things would increase by about 8 percent each week, according to estimates from a study by the McKinsey Global Institute. Another 6 percent of the workweek would be freed up if the shift away from email could unlock more of the so-called “dark matter” hidden in individual inboxes, McKinsey estimates.

Home price gains remain lackluster U.S. home prices rose in May from a year earlier at the weakest pace in 15 months as sales remain modest in the spring buying season. The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index, released Tuesday, increased 9.3 percent in May from 12 months earlier. That’s down from 10.8 percent in the previous month and the smallest annual gain since February 2013. Yearly price gains slowed in 18 of the 20 cities. They accelerated in Charlotte, North Carolina, and were flat in Tampa, Florida. Home prices soared last fall and winter but have been steadily returning to a more sustainable level this year. Existing home sales have picked up, rising to an eightmonth high in June. But they are still 2.3 percent below last year’s level.

BEIJING — China’s antimonopoly agency announced an investigation Tuesday of Microsoft Corp., stepping up regulatory pressure on foreign technology companies. The State Administration for Industry and Commerce said it opened a case in June after complaints Microsoft improperly failed to publish all documentation for its Windows operating system and Office software. It said investigators visited Microsoft’s China headquarters in Beijing and branches in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu in southwestern China this week. “The administration believes the previous investigation cannot eliminate that Microsoft engaged in monopolistic behavior,” the agency said on its website. “The administration has launched an investigation of Microsoft’s monopolistic behavior.” Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Foreign technology suppliers face growing pressure from Chinese regulators, who have launched anti-monopoly investigations and announced plans to examine products for security flaws. China relies heavily on foreign software and communications technology. Communist leaders have expressed frustration about the high cost of foreign know-how and have invested billions of dollars to develop their own phone, encryption, software and other technology industries. Chinese state media have stepped up criticism of foreign technology companies following disclosures by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden about their possible cooperation with U.S. government surveillance.

A federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld new government rules requiring labels on packaged steaks, ribs and other cuts of meat to say where the animals were born, raised and slaughtered. The meat industry has attempted to block the rules, which went into effect last year, saying they are costly and provide no health benefits to the consumer. The industry said in court that the rules go beyond what Congress intended and violate First Amendment rights to freedom of speech by forcing meat producers to provide information about their products without “directly advancing a government interest.”

Debt, unpaid bills by the numbers More than 35 percent of Americans have debts and unpaid bills that have been reported to collection agencies, according to a study released Tuesday by the Urban Institute. These consumers fall behind on credit cards or hospital bills. Their mortgages, auto loans or student debt pile up, unpaid. Even pastdue gym membership fees or cellphone contracts can end up with a collection agency, potentially hurting credit scores and job prospects, said Caroline Ratcliffe, a senior fellow at the Washington-based think tank. “Roughly, every third person you pass on the street is going to have debt in collections,” Ratcliffe said.

The Chevrolet Volt, Ford C-Max, Mitsubishi Lancer, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ all got the second-highest rating of “acceptable.” The Hyundai Veloster and Scion xB were a notch below that, with “marginal” ratings.

operated by franchisees. The same is true for many other fast-food chains, including Burger King and Yum Brands, which owns Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza hut. As such, the companies have sought to distance themselves from the pay protests by saying they don’t determine wages at its franchised locations. Heather Smedstad, senior vice president of human resources for McDonald’s USA, said in a phone interview that the company has never been determined to be a joint employer in the past and that it would fight the decision by the labor board. “This is such a radical departure that it should be a concern to business men and women across the country,” she said. Still, labor organizers say McDonald’s should be held accountable because it has so much control in setting the terms for how its restaurants are run, including what menus, supplies, uniforms and training materials are used. “There’s really no doubt who’s in charge,” said Micah Wissinger, an attorney who brought a case on behalf of McDonald’s workers in New York City. In March, lawsuits on behalf of McDonald’s workers in three states also detailed use of company software that monitors the ratio of labor costs as a percentage of sales at its restaurants. When that ratio climbs above a target, workers were forced to wait around before they could clock in, according to one of the suits.

McDonald’s, based in Oak Brook, Illinois, has said it would investigate the claims. In a call arranged by labor organizers, longtime McDonald’s worker Richard Eiker also recounted how McDonald’s regularly sends representatives to check up on how franchisees are running restaurants, including by standing outside the drive-thru to time how quickly cars go through. “Managers go crazy when corporate comes in for these inspections,” he said, adding that restaurants are constantly told to keep costs down. The National Labor Relations Board said 181 cases involving McDonald’s have been filed since 2012. For the 43 cases that were found to have merit, the board said McDonald’s or its franchisees will be named as respondents if the parties fail to reach a settlement. The other cases were found to have no merit or are still pending. The International Franchise Association, which represents franchisees, has opposed the identification of McDonald’s as a joint employer. The group also recently filed a lawsuit in Seattle challenging whether fast-food franchisees should be treated like large employers, thus subjecting them to a new $15 minimum wage at an earlier date than smaller businesses. “If franchisors are joint employers with their franchisees, these thousands of small business owners would lose control of the operations and equity they worked so hard to build,” the International Franchise Association said in a statement.

These are the problems Asana is trying to solve. Its bare-bones system, free to use for teams of up to 15 workers, is set up so information can be easily seen by anyone authorized by the company. Asana hopes to make money by selling subscriptions to more sophisticated versions of its software that can accommodate larger groups of workers. Moskovitz began working on what would turn into an early prototype for Asana while he was still at Facebook in late 2007. He had become frustrated with email’s shortcomings and set out to build a better alternative for managing Facebook’s projects. Before long, he was spending all his time figuring out how to escape email instead of managing Facebook’s engineers. “A lot of people thought I was crazy, but from my perspective it was clearly the smartest thing that I could do to make (Facebook) better,” Moskovitz said. He finally decided to exit Facebook in late 2008 to start Asana, leaving behind a prototype that Facebook still relies on to manage its projects instead of email. Moskovitz remains one of Facebook’s major

according to a news release from the company. Amgen is also considering other steps to increase efficiency and trim costs, according to the release. The company did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Bothell facility has fewer than 100 workers, according to news reports. The company has about

660 research staff in Washington and 200 in Colorado, according to FierceBiotech, a news website that covers the biotechnology industry. Despite the closures, Amgen’s revenue increased 11 percent in the second quarter of the year, as did its earnings per share, which saw a 25 percent jump to $2.37.

“From a position of strength, we have announced today restructuring initiatives that will allow us to reallocate resources to invest in our upcoming launches and drive growth,” Bradway said in the release. Dan Catchpole: 425339-3454; dcatchpole@ heraldnet.com; Twitter: @ dcatchpole.

shareholders with stock worth about $7 billion, affording him the luxury to gamble on a startup that may be fighting a Sisyphean battle. “I am not sure what anyone thinks they will be accomplishing by getting rid of email,” say Sara Radicati, editor of the Radicati Group. “If we didn’t have email, people would be spending all their time on the phone and other channels of communication. Is that really any better?” While the Radicati Group foresees consumer email usage continuing to wane during the next four years, the firm predicts the volume of business email will rise another 16 percent by 2018 to an average of 140 daily emails sent and received by each user. “Email can’t be killed completely because it’s the lowest common denominator in business,” concedes Stewart Butterfield, who has been trying to sell companies on the merits of another alternative form of corporate communication called Slack. Like Moskovitz, Butterfield is better known for his involvement at another popular technology service: he co-founded Flickr, a photo-sharing site bought by Yahoo Inc. nine years ago. Without providing specifics, Asana says millions of workers are using its system, primarily the free version. In many cases, Asana customers say they have reduced email usage

by as much as 80 percent, according to Rosenstein. “We are really reaching peak email,” Rosenstein said. “Our customers keep asking: ‘Can you replace more and more of my email?”’ Rapidly growing startups such as Airbnb, Uber, Pinterest, Dropbox embraced Asana’s task-management system early in their corporate lives in hopes of avoiding email addiction as they mature. And Asana isn’t alone in its quest to eradicate email. Other online services, built especially for business purposes by companies such as Jive Software and Microsoft’s Yammer, are on a similar mission. Despite these efforts, email remains pervasive. For instance, Pinterest product manager Michael Yamartino says he still sifts through 200 to 300 emails each day, with 70 percent of the traffic coming from co-workers. Even after internal meetings, Pinterest still relies on mass emails to let everyone know what is going on. “Asana is better for tracking tasks, but email still has an important place,” Yamartino says. Two of Asana’s own employees, Emily Kramer and Jim Renaud, wanted to prove it’s possible to survive without email so they vowed to avoid checking their company and personal inboxes for all of April.

It was the longest stretch that Kramer, 30, had gone without checking her email since she was in the sixth grade when she opened her first account on AOL. Renaud, 39, hadn’t lived without email since he enrolled in college 20 years ago. Kramer stayed out of her email, even though she kept fretting about what she might miss at work and had to deal with complaints from friends about the inconvenience of finding other ways to keep her in the loop about a bachelorette party they were planning. She also found herself dealing with lengthier mobile messages that read like email. “A co-worker had told me, ‘I think it would be easier to go without oxygen than email,” Kramer says. “I definitely don’t think that’s true any longer.” Renaud didn’t avoid email the entire month. Once, he needed to go into his Asana account to check on an issue affecting the company’s customers. On another day, Renaud couldn’t resist opening his personal email to retrieve a $100 rebate on some tires that he bought for his car. When he clicked on an email link confirming the rebate, he was informed it would take six to eight weeks to get his money. “I have learned that I don’t need to check my email all the time,” Renaud said.

IN OUR VIEW | MISUSES OF HISTORY

NRA’s paranoid style of politics The politics of fear is written in code words. Break the code, and fear is revealed in all its paranoid splendor. National Rifle Association lobbyist Brian Judy didn’t bother embroidering his language when speaking before a no-I-594 gathering in Silverdale on July 23. There’s value yakking to true believers: You can ditch the focus-grouped rhetoric and go straight to the madman tropes. In a recording posted on the website “Horse’s Ass,” Judy — who, along with the NRA, hasn’t disavowed or denied the comments — condescends that “these people” (Jews) such as entrepreneur Nick Hanauer, a key financial backer of I-594, should know

better than to support universal background checks for purchasing a firearm. “That these people, its like any Jewish people I meet who are anti-gun, I think, ‘Are you serious? Do you not remember what happened?’”(read: the Holocaust.) Judy said. “And why did that happen? Because they registered guns and then they took them. And now you’re supporting gun con (sic)– you come to this country and you support gun control? Why did you have to flee to this country in the first place?” As the website’s founder, David Goldstein writes, “To dismiss Judy’s comments as merely clumsy or insensitive, you’d have to ignore

the contortions he went through to weave Hanauer’s Jewishness into the narrative. So who is backing I-594? Wealthy Jews, Judy warns the room!” Fear, like the misuses of history, works. Paranoid politics feeds the lesser angels. It’s only by throwing light that we understand the nature of the fear. “Hatred is the most accessible and comprehensive of all the unifying agents,” Eric Hoffer wrote in his masterpiece, “The True Believer.” “Mass movements can rise and spread without belief in a god, but never without a belief in a devil.” Historian Richard Hofstadter documented the

paranoid style of American politics more than 50 years ago. Just substitute “treason” for an opponent’s behavior and people respond. On Tuesday morning, the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, the site of a mass shooting eight years ago, held a press conference demanding that Judy resign. Participants included state Rep. Reuven Carlyle. “Mr. Judy asks of Jews, ‘Do you not remember what happened?’” Carlyle said earlier. “Judy fails to see that this is the most offensive rhetorical question that can be asked of any Jew worldwide and it transcends politics of time, partisanship and nations.” And with that, silence.

and they are loose, in public. Really? Did he stick around to see if he could assist the owner of the attacked dog? No, he vanished without a trace and only a vague description and this will happen again unless he is found. C’mon man, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Constitution, we must defend a woman’s right to control decisions concerning her health care needs. Obama has voiced these opinions. Our liberal and Democratic candidates need to stand with him. I know these positions are not popular with conservatives. However, I believe life in our country would dramatically improve if 100 percent of citizens who do favor them would vote.

Keep capable Aldrich on board I ran against David Aldrich for his position on the Snohomish County PUD of Directors six years ago. After losing the election, I attended numerous PUD board meetings to keep up on the board’s functions.

I learned quickly that if one has David’s experience, the functioning of the board and the PUD run much smoother. I endorse him for this position. Bill Barnet Lake Stevens

Speedboats take toll on the shore Lake Tye is a pristine water enjoyed by the public, but with restrictions not exercised by the special interests. Huge, high-powered speedboats towing skiers. Three-foot wake eroding the western shoreline. In time, the city of Monroe will need to replace and move our asphalt hiking trail further west. Currently, one area is doomed to lose a comforting rest bench. Three more feet of shoreline and the bench will learn how to sink or swim. I ask the city council to inspect the west shoreline of Lake Tye, and to concur that either stone be placed to provide a bulwark or discontinue the use of speedboats. The special events group prohibits public use of beach access to only those with electric boat motors. The park belongs to the people; does anyone read the last line of the Gettysburg Address?

Seems to me that the last Republican president’s little adventure in Iraq may have led to the rising demand in VA services.

He obviously has no control over them as he yells to the owner of a Jack Russell terrier to pick up his dog. The terrier squirmed so much that the owner could not hold him and was then attacked. Did the pit bull owner tell his dogs to stop? The article does not say. So if he did, they just kept charging, or worse, he said nothing to them, so he has no control over them

He even voices my wish to require domestically the registration for gun ownership and restrictions on types of semi-automatic weapons and ammunition clips sold. Obamacare is not perfect but so far it is working as intended. We liberals should defend it with our votes. We need to elect legislators who are willing to reform our immigration laws.

■ PET HEALTH

Best to avoid scented cat litter I’ve been in the pet care business for 18 years. During this time, I’ve had access to hundreds of cat littler boxes, and what I have observed has been disturbing. I am seeing so many cats that are having bad reactions to the scented, toxic cat litters. Some of these symptoms include: skin allergies, runny eyes, asthma and difficulty breathing, and an overall lack of energy. Please note these symptoms could also be a sign of another illness, so it’s crucial to confer with your vet if you see any of these symptoms in your cat. The manufacturers are not listing the chemicals in your cat litters because they don’t have to. What you will find are tricky words to confuse the consumer, like special formula, or deodorizing formula. Cats with covered boxes fare the worst, as dust and chemicals have no place to go but in the cat’s lungs. There are a lot of quality of unscented cat litters on the market to choose from that are sold by manufacturers who actually care about your cat’s health. Scoop you cat box every day, change out the litter weekly, and provide your cat with a safe, nontoxic, unscented litter. Your kitty will love you! Susan Ewing Arlington

Increase wages to pump up Social Security Trust Fund

his week the Social Security Trustees reported that our FICA contributions plus interest, net of all benefits paid out, have increased the Social Security Trust Fund by $32 billion. The trustees also forecast that Social Security benefits are completely sustainable for the next two decades. The media hasn’t played these reports up much, perhaps because they don’t fit into the narrative that finances for Social Security are collapsing and the only way to save Social Security is to dismantle benefits now… That’s a solution akin to amputatJOHN BURBANK ing someone’s foot now, because he might get gangrene 20 years from now. We shouldn’t disregard the financing of Social Security two decades from now. But the “solutions” proposed by the guardians of privilege only add to the recipe of redistributing money upwards to the already wealthy and powerful. We have had enough of that over the past 35 years. The Social Security Trustees forecast projected revenue and costs for 10 and 75 years into the future. Obviously, this is at best a “guestimate.” The trustees can’t foresee each economic downturn. They can’t foresee immigration and the Social Security contributions of these immigrant workers. The guessing is educated, but not accurate. In 1986, the trustees predicted that the Social Security Trust Fund would run out of money in 2051. Then in 1994 they predicted that the trust fund would be drawn down to zero in 2029. Now their “prediction” is for 2033. The funny thing is that the trust gund was purposely built up in anticipation of baby boomers retiring, and intended to be drawn down to help finance their retirement. So while the guardians of privilege see a problem with this drawdown, it is actually the model developed by one of their own, Alan Greenspan, the former chair of the Fed. And when the trust fund is drawn down, it won’t result in the demise of Social Security. Up to 1981, Social Security was pretty much a pay-as-you-go program, with current revenues from taxes paying for current benefits. That is still the way it is for the 80 percent of benefits. In developing their forecasts, the trustees include a factor estimating worker productivity increases. But while productivity increases were proportionately shared between workers and corporations after World War II, in the recent decades these increases have accrued more and more solely to corporations. That detracts from Social Security contributions through FICA taxes. There is a simple way to increase contributions to Social Security, insure sustainability of benefits, and actually increase those benefits. Increase the minimum wage, and have all wages reflect increases in productivity. For every $1 increase in wages, Social Security receives 12.4 cents. Increasing the minimum wage to $10 an hour for the 3.6 million American workers who make $7.25 or less would bring a minimum of $2.5 billion each year into the Social Security Trust Fund. If we were to increase wages by $2 for the one-fifth of all workers who make less than $10 an hour, the trust fund would gain $11 billion each year. That equals more than the combined Social Security benefits for over 750,000 recipients. We often forget about the interconnections between different facets of our economy. If we continue to hold wages down, and not adjust them upwards for productivity, we let more and more income slide into corporate profits, and hundreds of billions of dollars is exported to other economies via the outsourcing of production. It also means that the social programs Americans hold closest to their hearts and depend on for their economic security are undermined by a diminished stream of revenue, that is, FICA taxes. We are willing to pay those taxes. But we can’t when our wages stagnate. Here is why the effort for increasing the minimum wage is so important. We not only begin to insure that workers will get appropriate compensation (and respect), but in turn, these workers and their employers, through FICA taxes, build up Social Security funds for current and future retirees. It’s mutually beneficial, for all of us. John Burbank is the Executive Director of the Economic Opportunity Institute (www. eoionline.org). Email john@eoionline.org

Death: Victim remembered as a kind family man From Page A1

She apologized to Wright’s family Tuesday, saying that nothing she could say would make up for what she did. She also adamantly denied planning the slaying. She said the marriage was volatile and she “lost control of her emotions and anger,” the day she killed her husband. “I want his family to know I’m so sorry,” Donohue said. Wright’s younger sister said Donohue drove a wedge between her brother and his family. “He was always around until Michele entered his life,” Sharon Diehl wrote in a statement to the judge. He had spent every holiday with his family and doted on his young nieces. The women have memories of dying Easter eggs with him and visiting on Christmas Eve as they listened to “Twas the Night Before Christmas.” “He was the uncle that got us silly gifts and he would be laughing about them as he watched us open them. He would be on the living room floor playing with my sister and I. He was our silly uncle that made us laugh and smile and just had a good time being with us. Growing up with my uncle’s presence felt like I had two amazing dads,” his niece

Larry Ringstad testifies about Wright on Tuesday.

Karen Robinson wrote. Larry Ringstad grew up with Wright. They were best friends, bonded over their love for cars. “I have to say that if you were lucky enough to have Byron befriend you, he would do anything to help you. He was a very gentle, kind and caring person,” Ringstad wrote. He saw less and less of his friend once Wright married Donohue in 2000. “She began to isolate him from his friends and family,” Ringstad said. Relatives called and sent cards and letters, but all went unanswered. Diehl tried to file a missing persons report but she was turned away. Other relatives set up a Facebook page, trying to locate him. “We loved Byron,” Diehl said Tuesday. The family suspected something was amiss. Ringstad said Wright would never have left behind his car collection. “He was a car guy,” Ringstad said by way of explanation.

DAN BATES / THE HERALD

Sharon Diehl, the sister of victim Byron Wright, turns back from the bench after testifying to Judge George Bowden at Snohomish County Superior Court on Tuesday.

Wright was proud of the home and property that he had worked so hard to buy. “It wasn’t much for most people but it was perfect for him,” his sister wrote. Diehl sent another birthday card in May 2006. This time Donohue called, claiming that Wright had left her three years prior for a younger woman. “We tried to find him and all that time Michele knew exactly where he was,” Diehl wrote.

Snohomish County sheriff’s detectives found Wright’s body in February, inside a plastic tote and two bags, buried under two feet of dirt and a cement floor. A jailhouse informant had tipped them off to the murder. Donohue had shared her secret with her new husband, telling him that she stabbed Wright. After the attack, she said Wright pleaded with her to call an ambulance. She said she

refused because Wright wouldn’t apologize. Donohue told her new husband she dismembered Wright in the kitchen, buried him in a shallow grave next to the shop and bought four loads of fill dirt to hide the grave. At some point Donohue became afraid that she would lose the house to foreclosure. She recruited her new husband and his two buddies to dig up Wright’s body for reburial

under the shop floor. Late last year Donohue’s secret began to surface. A jail inmate told detectives he knew something about a killing. He explained that there was illegal activity going on at Donohue’s place, including a “chop shop.” He became nervous that Donohue might call the cops to get back at her current husband. Donohue’s husband had moved his younger, pregnant girlfriend onto the property. One of the men who helped moved Wright’s body assured the informant that Donohue wouldn’t call police because she had killed her ex-husband. The informant later agreed to wear a wire while talking to one of the body movers. The man admitted to his part in covering up the killing. The conversation was caught on the wire. Donohue also was recorded complaining about her current husband and making statements about “hoping someone would get rid of him.” Ringstad said Tuesday he’s not convinced that Donohue is sorry for what she did. “She showed no remorse. She lived a life of spending his money while Byron lay in the dirt,” he said. Diana Hefley: 425-3393463; hefley@heraldnet. com. Twitter: @dianahefley

Mukilteo: Aiming to ease pressure on other park-and-rides From Page A1

Sen. Marko Liias, who also works as a policy analyst for Mukilteo city government. Mukilteo, population 20,540, is the largest city served by CT that doesn’t have a park-and-ride. Ferry commuters, shoppers and visitors to Lighthouse Park also have left the city’s picturesque Old Town pinched for parking.

Community Transit oversees nearly four-dozen park-and-rides in its service area, which extends through most populated areas of Snohomish County with the notable exceptions of Everett and stretches of the Highway 9 corridor. Leaders are hopeful a future Mukilteo lot will take pressure off packed park-and-rides in north Lynnwood and south Everett.

Mukilteo, Snohomish County, the state and Community Transit have been cooperating on the project. The Legislature secured $1 million for the transit agency to pay for the design work under way now. State lawmakers expect to set aside another $5 million next year for construction, Liias said. Provided that happens, building could be under way within the

next two years, said Martin Munguia, a CT spokesman. The three-plus acres under discussion belongs to Snohomish County, as part of Paine Field. The county would lease it to Community Transit. The city of Mukilteo has been pushing for a lot there since the 1990s, airport director Dave Waggoner said. “We’ve never been able

to come to a funding mechanism that would have allowed the project to move forward,” Waggoner said. “This is the closest that we’ve come to being able to bring this to fruition.” The lot would serve routes 417 to downtown Seattle and 880 to the University District. The facility under discussion now could be the first of several phases, said County

Weather kills 2,000 a year; cold top culprit By Mike Stobbe Associated Press

NEW YORK â€” The weather kills at least 2,000 Americans each year and nearly two-thirds of the deaths are from the cold, according to a new government report. That may surprise some people, the researchers said. Hurricanes, tornadoes and heat waves â€œget more publicity, for some reason, than cold-related deaths,â€?

said Deborah Ingram, one of the reportâ€™s authors. The report released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analyzed U.S. deaths attributed to the cold, the heat, storms, floods and lightning. It used national death certificate information for five years. The report found: Of the 10,649 deaths attributed to the weather, about 63 percent were tied to exposure to the cold or

hypothermia. Those who more often fall victim to the cold include the homeless, alcoholics, those who take part in wilderness activities and winter sports, and fragile people already fighting illnesses who live in underheated homes. About 31 percent of the deaths were caused by heat, heat stroke or sun stroke. The remaining 6 percent were blamed on storms, floods or lightning. More than two-thirds

of weather-related deaths were men and boys, and men were twice as likely as women to die from storms, floods or lightning strikes. And people 65 and older had much higher death rates than younger people, perhaps because itâ€™s harder for them to endure temperature extremes, the researchers said. The highest heatrelated death rates were in cities and very rural areas; the most isolated areas also

had the highest rates related to the cold and to storms, floods and lightning. Lowincome counties had higher weather-related death rates than high-income counties. That could be due to people in poor rural or urban places lacking heating, air conditioning or help during blizzards or heat waves, the researchers said. For blacks, the heatrelated death rate was about 2.5 times higher than the rate for whites, and about

twice as high as the Hispanic rate. Blacks also died at a higher rate from the cold. That finding may be tied to higher concentrations of low-income blacks in large cities or very rural areas. Also, blacks might be more vulnerable to weather extremes because they have more heart disease and other chronic health problems. Whites died at twice the rate of blacks from floods, storms and lightning strikes.

Last crew member of Enola Gay dies at 93 By Kate Brumback Associated Press

ATLANTA â€” The last surviving member of the crew that dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, hastening the end of World War II and forcing the world into the atomic age, has died in Georgia. Theodore VanKirk, also known as â€œDutch,â€? died Monday of natural causes at the retirement home where he lived in Stone Mountain, Georgia, his son Tom VanKirk said. He was 93. VanKirk flew nearly 60 bombing missions, but it was a single mission in the Pacific that secured him a place in history. He was 24 years old when he served as navigator on the Enola Gay, the B-29 Superfortress that dropped the first atomic bomb deployed in wartime over the Japanese city of Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945. He was teamed with pilot Paul Tibbets and bombardier Tom Ferebee in Tibbetsâ€™ fledgling 509th Composite Bomb Group for Special Mission No. 13. The mission went perfectly, VanKirk told The Associated Press in a 2005 interview. He guided the bomber through the night sky, just 15 seconds behind schedule, he said. As the 9,000-pound bomb nicknamed â€œLittle Boyâ€? fell toward the sleeping city, he and his crewmates hoped to escape with their lives. They didnâ€™t know whether the bomb would actually work and, if it did, whether its shockwaves would rip their plane to shreds. They counted â€” one thousand one, one thousand two â€” reaching the 43 seconds theyâ€™d been told it would take for detonation and heard nothing.

BEAU CABELL / THE MACON TELEGRAPH FILE

Theodore â€œDutchâ€™â€™ VanKirk visits a veterans group at the Golden Corral in Macon, Georgia, on May 21, 2009. The navigator for the Enola Gay spoke about his experience guiding the aircraft that dropped the first atomic bomb. Tom VanKirk says his 93-year-old father died Monday at the retirement home where he lived in Georgia. He was the last surviving member of the Enola Gay crew.

â€œI think everybody in the plane concluded it was a dud. It seemed a lot longer than 43 seconds,â€? VanKirk recalled. Then came a bright flash. Then a shockwave. Then another shockwave. The blast and its aftereffects killed 140,000 in Hiroshima. Three days after Hiroshima, a second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. The blast and its aftermath claimed 80,000 lives. Six days after the Nagasaki bombing, Japan surrendered. Whether the United States should have used the atomic bomb has been debated endlessly. VanKirk told the AP he thought it was necessary because it shortened the war and eliminated the need for an Allied land invasion that could have cost more lives on both sides. â€œI honestly believe the use of the atomic bomb saved lives in the long run. There were a lot of lives saved. Most of the lives

saved were Japanese,â€? VanKirk said. But it also made him wary of war. â€œThe whole World War II experience shows that wars donâ€™t settle anything. And atomic weapons donâ€™t settle anything,â€? he said. â€œI personally think there shouldnâ€™t be any atomic bombs in the world â€” Iâ€™d like to see them all abolished. â€œBut if anyone has one,â€? he added, â€œI want to have one more than my enemy.â€? VanKirk stayed on with the military for a year after the war ended. Then he went to school, earned degrees in chemical engineering and signed on with DuPont, where he stayed until he retired in 1985. He later moved from California to the Atlanta area to be near his daughter. Like many World War II veterans, VanKirk didnâ€™t talk much about his service until much later in his life when he spoke to school groups, his son said. â€œI didnâ€™t even find out

that he was on that mission until I was 10 years old and read some old news clippings in my grandmotherâ€™s attic,â€? Tom VanKirk told the AP in a phone interview Tuesday. Instead, he and his three siblings treasured a wonderful father, who was a great mentor and remained active and â€œsharp as a tackâ€? until the end of his life. â€œI know he was recognized as a war hero, but we just knew him as a great father,â€? Tom VanKirk said. VanKirkâ€™s military career was chronicled in a 2012 book, â€œMy True Course,â€? by Suzanne Dietz. VanKirk was energetic, very bright and had a terrific sense of humor, Dietz recalled Tuesday. Interviewing VanKirk for the book, she said, â€œwas like sitting with your father at the kitchen table

listening to him tell stories.â€? A funeral service was scheduled for VanKirk on Aug. 5 in his hometown of Northumberland,

Pennsylvania. He will be buried in Northumberland next to his wife, who died in 1975. The burial will be private.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Stabilization and building strong relationships with the people in your life should be your intent. Trust, collaboration and sharing suggestions and advice will protect you from loss. You will be a leader and a driving force, but it’s who you have on your team that will determine how successful you will be. Your numbers are 3, 14, 26, 32, 35, 40, 43. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do your own thing. Bring about the changes necessary to make you happy or to reach your goals. Set your standards high and strive to maintain the lifestyle you want. �� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be eager to pursue your creative interests, but taking on too much or making promises you cannot keep will cut into your ability to accomplish what you desire most. Organization and preparation will be essential. �� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Read between the lines and ask questions if you think someone may not be telling you the truth. An introspective approach will work better than overreacting. Refrain from being tempted by products that promise the impossible. �� CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are the one holding everything together. Home, family and finding creative solutions for the ones you love will help you gain respect and keep you at the pulse of what’s going on around you. �� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Invest in something that interests you but also has a seal of approval from those you love. Knowing your limitations and staying within your means will be critical to your success. ��

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do what you can for others, but not at the expense of missing out on something that means a lot to you. Time management will make the difference between success and failure. �� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A career move may be within reach, but proceed with caution. Get whatever is being offered in writing. Someone is likely to glorify a position in order to grab your interest. �� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Stick to what you know and don’t take on something that has the potential to take up too much time. A conservative approach when dealing with others will save you from making a promise you’ll regret. �� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Listen carefully; there will be an emotional undertone to what’s being said. Doing things on a large scale will grab attention, but it will also lead to stress. �� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Share thoughts, but don’t be too quick to jump into something without researching. There is money to be made, but only if you don’t take unnecessary risks. �� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be given plenty of options and opportunities regarding work-related matters. Consider getting into a partnership with someone you feel can complement your talents. �� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Money matters will have to be taken care of before you move on to more enjoyable pastimes. Self-improvement projects will pay off. An investment, settlement, inheritance, winning or some other financial gain is apparent. �� Universal Uclick

ELAINE THOMPSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Wide receiver Jermaine Kearse snags a sideline pass during the Seattle Seahawks’ July 26 training camp session. He rose from an undrafted free agent to become a key contributor.

Never count out Seahawks long shots Especially at wide receiver, where Jermaine Kearse rose from undrafted status to make the team and where Kevin Smith is trying to do the same Story by John Boyle

ENTON — Jermaine Kearse was one of the Seattle Seahawks’ breakout players in 2013. He not only established himself as one of Russell Wilson’s top targets, he also helped put the exclamation mark on Seattle’s blowout Super Bowl victory by pin-balling off of four Denver defenders on his way into the end zone for a spectacular second-half touchdown. But Kearse’s eyes don’t light up when he’s describing a play that would be a career highlight for just about anyone. And he doesn’t get a big smile when discussing his emergence as a regular in the receiver rotation. No, what really gets Kearse talking is the mention of another

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Undrafted free agent rookie wide receiver Kevin Smith runs after making a catch during the Seattle Seahawks’ July 25 training camp session. Smith, a long shot to make the team, is in the same position as Kearse was in 2012 with the Seahawks.

The Herald

fellow University of Washington receiver, Kevin Smith. “Kevin Smith, that’s my guy,” Kearse says of Smith, an undrafted rookie who signed with Seattle last month. “He’s been doing extremely well, making some nice catches.” Indeed, Smith has had some good moments in his first NFL training camp, including a very impressive touchdown catch in traffic on the opening day of camp, and Kearse gets excited for Smith because he sees a lot of himself in the rookie, who by all accounts is a long shot, at best, to end up on the Seattle Seahawks’ roster this season. Smith went undrafted in May, was signed by Arizona after the draft, later released, then was

signed and released by Jacksonville before landing in Seattle. Then again, long shots seem to fit right in when it comes to Seahawks wide receivers. Kearse, undrafted out of Washington in 2012, signed with Seattle, spent the first half of his rookie season on the practice squad before joining the active roster for the final seven games of the season. Doug Baldwin went undrafted in 2011, then went on to lead the team in catches and receiving yards as a rookie. He was also Seattle’s most consistent receiver in 2013, and will almost certainly be a starter this season. See SEAHAWKS, Page C5

Whether you’re drafted in the first round or not drafted, it does not matter here. It really does not. — Kippy Brown, Seahawks receivers coach

Mariners’ attack perks up in Frogs leaving home for a while 5-2 road victory over Cleveland By David Krueger Herald Writer

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

CLEVELAND — See what just a few runs can do? The Mariners finally unlocked their attack Tuesday night with a four-run fourth inning — and the result was a 5-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians in the opener of a three-game series at Progressive Field. Dustin Ackley marked his return to leadoff duty with his fifth three-hit game in July. His two-run double highlighted the decisive four-run fourth. The

INSIDE: Baseball, C2-3

EVERETT— The Everett AquaSox won’t be seeing a whole lot of their home stadium after wrapping up an eight-game homestand Tuesday night. The Frogs’ game against Tri-Cities was the last contest Everett plays at Everett Memorial Stadium until August 10th. After a three-game away series in Eugene, the Northwest League has a three-day AllStar break and then Everett heads to Spokane for a three-game series. And just because there’s a three-day stretch with

on them, we’ve got a good chance of winning.” Hisashi Iwakuma (9-5), meanwhile, stretched his road unbeaten streak to 14 games by limiting the Indians to two runs and six hits in seven innings before handing the three-run lead to Charlie Furbush. “I was very happy for that four-run inning,” Iwakuma said. “The last couple of starts, I would give up the first run or the lead early. So, today, I didn’t want to do that.” See M’S, Page C3

Everett manager Dave Valle said, “and everyone will be together the day before we head off (Wednesday) to Spokane.” The players hope to get a little downtime during the break. Frogs infielder Jordan Cowan, who is from Covington, is eager to spend some time with friends and family during the game-less stretch from August 4-6. “It should be fun,” Cowan said. “Hopefully get your mind away from the game for a little bit and then get back to work as soon as we start back up again.” See FROGS, Page C2

Cowan’s big day

By David Krueger Herald Writer

EVERETT — The second half of the Northwest League season continues to be much more kind to the Everett AquaSox than the first half was. The Frogs, coming off their first series win of the season against Boise to start the second half, made it 2-for-2 with a 7-5 victory that gave them two of three games against Tri-Cities. The victory helps Everett (5-3 second half, 16-30 overall) maintain its very early lead in the second-half standings. Everett got off to a quick start when catcher Adam Martin hit a sacrifice fly to score Austin Cousino and give Everett a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. The Frogs added another run an inning later with an RBI sacrifice bunt by Jordan Cowan. Corey Simpson helped break the game open with a two-run double in the fifth inning. Sheehan Planas-Arteaga added another run in the inning on an RBI groundout, helping the AquaSox pull away. One of the newest AquaSox, James Alfonso — who was promoted about two weeks ago from the Arizona League — hit his first home run for the Frogs, driving a solo shot to right-center field in

the sixth inning. An RBI single by Nelson Ward in the eighth brought Cousino across home plate again to give the game its final score. Those additional runs proved crucial in the game’s outcome. Cesar Galvez lined a two-out, three-run double in the top of the ninth inning as Tri-Cities (3-5, 17-29) closed the gap to two runs. But that’s as close as the Dust Devils got. Brett Ash got a line out to second base to end the game and clinch the victory. Everett starter Lukas Schiraldi (1-2) pitched five shutout innings to get his first professional win for the AquaSox, who head to Eugene for a three-game series that begins Wednesday. Relievers Hawtin Buchanan, Kody Kerski and Ash combined to hold off the Dust Devils.

For the second time this season, infielder Jordan Cowan — officially listed as a second baseman — found himself called upon to pitch, this time in Everett’s 6-5 11-inning loss to Tri-Cities on Monday night. Cowan made his Northwest League pitching debut on July 12, getting the final two outs for Everett in an 11-4 Frogs’ victory. He pitched the 10th and 11th innings on Monday, surrendering a sacrifice fly to Tri-Cities. “We just ran out of pitching,” Cowan said. “They just threw me out there to throw strikes and hopefully get outs.” Cowan had one appearance for the Pulaski Mariners in the Appalachian League last year. Prior to that, he estimates he last pitched when he was “14or 13-years old.” “It’s fun. How many position players get the chance to say they pitched in professional baseball?” Cowan said. “I never did in high school. It’s kind of cool to say that. I love playing infield and hitting.” “We’re trying to make him into a closer,” manager Dave Valle deadpanned. In two games this season, Cowan is 0-1 with a 3.38 earned-run average, one run allowed and one strikeout in 22⁄3 innings. The Covington native didn’t just leave his mark on Monday’s game as a pitcher. Cowan hit the first home run of his professional career while leading off the top of the eighth inning, belting a line drive to right-center field that jump-started a four-run rally for the AquaSox in the inning. The homer broke an 0-for-19 slump

for Cowan. “That’s a pretty cool thing. I didn’t think it would happen like that,” Cowan said. “I was kind of in a slump recently and just got an inside fastball, got my hands to it and somehow it got out of here. It’s kind of cool just to have one under my belt now. “When I hit it I had a pretty good feeling it was going out, but I’m always watching it — always begging for it to go out.” The homer gave Cowan the unique distinction of hitting a home run and being the losing pitcher in the same Northwest League game.

Royals’ Hosmer returns to lineup, Vargas improving Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Lefthander Jason Vargas peered toward the plate, wound up and delivered a fastball with total confidence, and Eric Hosmer took a massive cut with just as much certainty in his swing. Both of which were good news for the Kansas City Royals, who are trying to end a playoff drought that stretches back to 1985. For Hosmer, it was one last test of his bruised hand before returning to the lineup for Tuesday night’s series opener against Minnesota. For Vargas, it was a four-inning simulated game that could be the final hurdle in returning to the starting rotation following an appendectomy. The Royals began the day five games back of Detroit in the AL Central, and just 2 ½ games out of the second wild card.

Paxton on track to rejoin rotation Mariners will send prospects to the Saguaros along with Boston, Cincinnati, San Diego and Texas. Player assignments will be announced at a later date.

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

CLEVELAND — Left-hander James Paxton should rejoin the Seattle Mariners’ rotation Saturday in Baltimore after missing nearly four months because of a strained back muscle that surfaced in an April 8 start against the Angels. Barring any setbacks over the next few days. Paxton is scheduled to throw a standard between-starts bullpen workout prior to Wednesday’s game at Progressive Field. That follows a 78-pitch outing Sunday in a rehab start over 41⁄3 innings at Triple-A Tacoma. “We’ll see what happens (Wednesday),” manager Lloyd McClendon said, “and then we’ll make a decision. Everything up to this point has been great.” Paxton, 25, won two starts this season — both against the Angels — before suffering a strained left latissimus dorsi muscle. He is 5-0 with a 1.75 ERA in six career big-league starts. “Right now,” he said, “I feel strong. No pain. Nothing. I feel great.”

Change at top Left fielder Dustin Ackley found himself in a new but familiar role when he batted leadoff in Tuesday’s series opener. It marked Ackley’s first tour in that duty this season, but he batted leadoff in 103 previous games in his 452game career. He did it 97 times in 2012 and six times last season. “I figured I’d be back in the twohole,” Ackley said, “but leadoff or two-hole ... whatever. It’s kind of similar. At the top of the lineup. You try to get on base. Score some runs. That’s the goal.” Ackley is the sixth player used by the Mariners this season as their leadoff hitter. The others are: Endy Chavez (31 games), James Jones (30) Abraham Almonte (23), Michael Saunders

“Even though I gave up two runs, it was nice that we put up those four runs,” Iwakuma added. After Furbush sandwiched two strikeouts around a loud single, the Mariners called on Yoervis Medina, who retired Carlos Santana on a fly to deep left. Fernando Rodney pitched around a one-out single in a scoreless ninth for his American League-leading 29th save. The Mariners, at 55-51, remained two games behind Toronto for the AL’s final wild-card spot. The Mariners started their four-run fourth against Indians starter Trevor Bauer when, perhaps tellingly, Kyle Seager put

Minor details Double-A Jackson third baseman D.J. Peterson returned Tuesday to the lineup after exiting Saturday’s game because of bruised left wrist. The injury occurred on a ground ball in a 4-1 loss at Mobile (Diamondbacks). Peterson, 23, is generally viewed as the Mariners’ top non-pitching prospect. He is batting .297 with five homers and 16 RBI in 26 games since his promotion from High Desert.

Short hops

The Mariners’ Dustin Ackley, inserted into the leadoff role, had three hits and raised his average to .256. (14) and Willie Bloomquist (seven). The move comes with Ackley on a 27-for-72 (.375) surge over the past 21 games going into Tuesday, including 17-for-40 (.425) in 10 games since the All-Star break. “I’m just trying to jump-start our offense,” McClendon said. “We’ve lost five one-run games (since the All-Star break). I’m just trying to do something different and, hopefully, it can jump-start guys. “It puts a little speed down toward the bottom with Jonesy (who is batting ninth). We’ve got speed at the top. We’ll see what happens.”

Going for the record Mariners ace Felix Hernandez will try to do something Wednesday that has never been done in the majors: Pitch at least seven innings in 14 consecutive starts without allowing

down a shift-beating bunt single up the third-base line. “We’ve been trying to encourage him to do more of that,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “I can’t say that jump-started our rally. We got some big hits that inning, but it’s nice to see him do that. “Hopefully, that will make other teams think about that shift a little bit.” The inning blossomed when Corey Hart delivered an RBI double. Ackley added a two-run double before Chris Taylor capped the outburst with another RBI double. It marked the Mariners’ first inning of four runs or more since scoring four in the sixth inning on July 2 at Houston in a 5-2 victory. They then failed to score four runs in 16 of their next 20 games. Mike Zunino’s one-out homer

more than two runs. Hernandez currently shares the record at 13 with Hall-of-Famer Tom Seaver, who did it in 1971 for the New York Mets. The previous American League record was 12 by Chief Bender of the Philadelphia A’s in 1907. Hernandez is 7-1 with five nodecisions in his 13-game run while compiling a 1.36 ERA. He has 113 strikeouts and 17 walks in 99 innings.

Fall League assignments Hi-A High Desert pitching coach Andrew Lorraine will serve in that role for the Surprise Saguaros in the Arizona Fall League. Double-A Jackson trainer B.J. Downie will also be on the Saguaros’ staff. The AFL announced organization and staff assignments for its 2014 season, which begins Oct. 7. The

in the fifth extended the lead to 5-0. It was a laser to left that just cleared the 19-foot mini-monster in left field and survived a replay review. “Probably 19 (feet) exactly,” he said. “I think it bounced over. I had just enough. When I hit it, I knew I had a little bit of topspin on it. It hung up just enough to sneak over. I’m not complaining.” Zunino’s homer was his 16th, which matched Seager for the club lead, and finished Bauer, who fell to 4-6 after allowing five runs and eight hits in 41⁄3 innings. Then it was just a matter of holding on. The Indians got two runs back in the fifth against Iwakuma after Nick Swisher led off with a double. Yan Gomes delivered a one-out RBI single and went to third on Chris Dickerson’s

Cuban outfielder Rusney Castillo will hold a private workout Sunday for the Mariners. He is conducting similar sessions for several clubs. ... Outfielder Michael Saunders, out since July 11 because of a strained left oblique, took batting practice and hopes to start a rehab assignment before the end of the week. ... The Mariners entered Tuesday’s game with three of the top nine pitchers in the American League in WHIP (walk and hits per innings pitched): Felix Hernandez was second at 0.891, Hisashi Iwakuma was third at 0.994 and Chris Young was ninth at 1.102. Chicago lefty Chris Sale was the league leader at 0.864. ... The Mariners also entered Tuesday with the AL worst attack. They were averaging 3.838 runs a game. Houston was next-to-last at 3.840.

Looking back It was two years ago Wednesday — July 30, 2012 — that Hisashi Iwakuma set a Mariners rookie record by striking out 13 in a 4-1 victory over Toronto at Safeco Field. Iwakuma allowed one run and four hits in eight innings in what was his fifth career start after beginning the season in the bullpen. The 13 strikeouts remain a career high.

On tap The Mariners and Indians continue their three-game series at 4:05 p.m. Pacific time today. The series concludes Thursday before the Mariners head to Baltimore for a three-game weekend series.

double. Gomes scored on Jason Kipnis’ grounder to first before Iwakuma ended the inning. Iwakuma got a reprieve in the seventh when David Murphy settled for a one-out double when a replay confirmed the ball did not clear the right-field wall. Iwakuma cashed the break by retiring the next two hitters. The Mariners squandered a two-out triple in the seventh by Seager, and a leadoff double in the eighth by Logan Morrison. In the end, five runs were more than enough. The Mariners are 39-10 when they score four or more runs. “We know the pitching staff and bullpen are going to be there,” Zunino said. “If we find a way to score those three or four runs, we’re feeling pretty good.”

Orioles beat Angels 7-6 in 12 innings Associated Press BALTIMORE — Manny Machado homered off Cory Rasmus leading off the 12th inning to give the Baltimore Orioles a 7-6 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night. Machado hit a 1-2 breaking ball from Rasmus (2-1) into the seats in left field to end the back-and-forth duel between AL contenders. Ryan Webb (3-1) worked out of a two-on, two-out jam in the top of the 12th for the Orioles, who improved to 12-3 in extra innings. Adam Jones and Nick Markakis homered for Baltimore, playing its first home game since the AllStar break. Jones drove an 0-2 fastball over the left-field wall — giving him 20 home runs for a fourth straight season Josh Hamilton homered and had three RBI for the Angels, who have dropped eight of their last 11 against the Orioles.

NASCAR penalizes Hamlin, suspends crew chief Grubb By Jim Utter The Charlotte Observer

Sprint Cup Series driver Denny Hamlin got a bad taste of the consequences of a major violation of NASCAR’s new Deterrence System. NASCAR on Tuesday assessed Hamlin’s No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing team a P5 penalty, which included docking the driver 75 points and suspending his crew chief Darian Grubb for the next six races. Grubb was also assessed a $125,000 fine and placed on suspension for the remainder of the year. In addition, car chief Wesley Sherrill was also suspended for six races and placed on probation for the remainder of the year. Hamlin finished third in Sunday’s Crown Royal 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway but after the race NASCAR officials confiscated several rear firewall block-off plates from his No. 11 Toyota. The block-off plates are intended to seal the driver’s compartment to keep fluids, smoke and fire from getting to the driver. Air flow through the block-off plates, in theory, can provide additional rear downforce, which could help at a track like the Brickyard. “This should send a message that for anyone who attempts to overstep or bend the rules, it’s not worth it,” said NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp. “We revised our penalty

and appeal processes to make the system more effective, fair and transparent. That was something all of our competitors asked for.” Shortly after the announcement, JGR issued a brief statement in which it said it planned to appeal the penalties but Grubb and Sherrill would begin serving their respective suspensions this weekend. Should JGR not be successful in its appeal, both would return to the track in time for the Sept. 14 race at Chicagoland Speedway, the first race in this season’s Chase. Even with the points penalty, Hamlin isn’t likely in danger of losing his spot in the 16-driver Chase field. He already has a win this season and with the penalty will drop to 22nd in the series standings (He needs to be in the Top 30 to use his win). However, it will be difficult for a team without its regular crew chief and car chief over a six-week period to perform up to par. Hamlin, however, has a strong record — including four wins — at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway, site of Sunday’s GoBowling.400. NASCAR restructured its penalty and appeals system in the offseason. Hamlin’s penalty was classified P5 on a scale that rates penalties from P1 (lowest) to P6 (highest). Because the violations were found post-race, the penalties were enhanced.

ESPN suspends First Take’s Smith for week Herald news services Stephen A. Smith and controversy seem to go hand-in-hand. As one-half of ESPN’s First Take, he and co-host Skip Bayless are known for making outlandish statements almost as often as they breathe. But comments Smith made last week touched a nerve, as they went far beyond simply sports. When discussing the two-game suspension Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice received after he was charged with hitting his now-wife, Smith espoused a view that many perceived placed the blame on Rice’s thenfiancee for provoking the incident. The fallout was swift and immediate: People across the media landscape found Smith’s comments reprehensible. The fallout continued Tuesday when Smith was suspended by ESPN for a week. The announcement of the suspension came after Smith had made an appearance in Columbus at the SaMarc Foundation basketball camp, held at the Lumpkin Center on Columbus State’s campus. Smith owned up to the mistake,

noting the controversy was “self-inflicted.” Smith later apologized for his comments. “I made what can only amount to the most egregious error of my career,” he said last week. “My words came across that it is somehow a woman’s fault. This was not my intent. This was not what I was trying to say. Yet the failure to clearly articulate something different lies squarely on my shoulders.” Smith pointed to the apology he’d already made on Tuesday, saying it was his responsibility “to articulate myself concisely and clearly” when he’s on the air. “I failed to do that last week,” Smith said. “So the hits that I took were welldeserved. I’m a big boy. I can take it. “Myself and Skip Bayless, we are on the air every day holding folks accountable for the things that they say or the things that they do. You don’t do that and then run from it when it’s your turn,” Smith said. “It’s my turn and I took it and I have to continue to take it for as long as I have to continue to take it. But I promise you I will be standing.”

NCAA settles head-injury lawsuit Associated Press CHICAGO — The NCAA agreed on Tuesday to help athletes with head injuries in a proposed settlement of a class-action lawsuit that college sports’ governing body touted as a major step forward but that critics say doesn’t go nearly far enough. The deal, filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, calls for the NCAA to toughen return-to-play

rules for players who receive head blows and create a $70 million fund to pay for thousands of current and former athletes to undergo testing to determine whether they suffered brain trauma while playing football and other contact sports. One plaintiffs’ attorney not involved in the negotiations called it a “terrible deal” that lets the NCAA off the hook far too easily.

McCoy carted off with Achilles injury Seahawks TE missed last season with torn Achilles in his right leg By John Boyle Herald Writer

RENTON — For the second time in as many years, Seattle Seahawks tight end Anthony McCoy’s season could be over before it has a chance to get going. McCoy was carted off the field during Tuesday’s practice with a

left Achilles injury, and Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll did not sound optimistic about the tight end. In a cruel twist, McCoy missed all of last season with a torn Achilles in his right leg. “Early indication is he hurt is other Achilles,” Carroll said. “If it is what they think it is, it’s just a real heartbreaker. He worked so hard to get back and all, and if it

was the same Achilles you might understand it, but we think it’s the other one. We’ll see what happens.” A serious Achilles injury almost always means a tear, and a torn Achilles almost always means a lost season, so it’s easy to understand why Carroll would feel heartbroken for a player he has coached since McCoy was at USC. McCoy tore his right Achilles during Organized Team Activities in May of 2013, which left the Seahawks without an obvious option for a third tight end. Seattle ended up signing veteran Kellen Davis, though he was not

the same pass-catching threat as McCoy, who had 18 catches for 291 yards and three touchdowns in 2012. McCoy, a sixth-round pick in 2010, was the favorite to be Seattle’s third tight end along with Zach Miller and Luke Willson. But now if he is indeed lost for the year with another torn Achilles, the battle for third tight end spot is wide open with Cooper Helfet, RaShaun Allen and Morrell Presley all in the mix (Presley, who signed last week, is listed as a receiver, but played tight end in college and has been working with the tight ends since arriving

at camp). Guard James Carpenter (calf) and middle linebacker Bobby Wagner (hamstring) both left practice early, but Carroll indicated neither had any serious issues, saying both just had muscle tightness. Rookie linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis sat with an oblique injury, which Carroll said “is not a serious deal.” Tackle Michael Bowie, who has been out since suffering a shoulder injury on the first day of camp, as well as receiver Kevin Norwood (foot) should be back tomorrow or the next day, Carroll said.

Lynch’s holdout could get more expensive By John Boyle Herald Writer

RENTON — Tuesday marked the sixth day since the Seattle Seahawks reported to camp last week, which means Marshawn Lynch’s holdout potentially became a lot more expensive, but the running back continued to stay away from camp. Per the league’s collective bargaining agreement, the Seahawks can go after 15 percent of the prorated amount of Lynch’s signing bonus after six days, which in this case would be $225,000 on top of the $30,000 per day he can be fined. Seattle can go after an additional one percent of the prorated bonus ($1.5 million) each day Lynch holds until the total amount reaches 25 percent of the prorated bonus. The team is under no obligation, however, to collect on those fines if they decide to work something out with Lynch, assuming he eventually returns. Seahawks head coach Pete

Carroll didn’t have much to say on Lynch’s continued holdout, but did say, “We’re not commenting about it. He’s not here, so we can’t comment about a guy who’s not here right now. I love this kid, I hope he’ll figure it out and it’ll all make sense and come to a resolution somewhere, but nothing more than that.” Earlier in the day, general manager John Schneider also addressed Lynch’s situation during an appearance on ESPN, and said he wasn’t getting concerned with the holdout: “You know, no. Everybody loves Beast Mode. We love him and respect the guy. I think what he’s done in this community, for this franchise, is outstanding. It’s one of those deals where you can never get inside somebody’s head. We’re just going with our plan, and I know it’s cliche-ish, but next man up. We’ve had a plan in place here for a number of years, and we can’t veer from that plan for one person, because it’s the ultimate team sport.”

Seahawks From Page C1

Ricardo Lockette, also undrafted, bounced around between Seattle, San Francisco and Chicago, also spending a lot of time on practice squads before contributing to Seattle’s Super Bowl run as a receiver and special teams player. So yeah, Smith seems to be up against a numbers crunch at a position that includes the aforementioned receivers, not to mention Percy Harvin and the two receivers Seattle drafted this spring, Paul Richardson and Kevin Norwood. However, the Seahawks’ history under Pete Carroll should serve as a reminder that you can never count out a long shot this time of year, especially not a long shot receiver. “Whether you’re drafted in the first round or not drafted, it does not matter here,” Seahwks receivers coach Kippy Brown said. “It really does not. If you’re willing to do the things we ask you to do, and you have enough ability to help us win, then we’ll play you. We don’t care. That’s what’s happened with Doug and Jermaine and Lockette, and Phillip Bates is coming on and doing the same thing. It’s a good thing.” With examples like Baldwin and Kearse to

Seahawks sign Winston Looking to add to the competition for the open right tackle job, the Seahawks signed veteran Eric Winston Tuesday. Winston, who is also currently the president of the NFL Players Association, spent the first six years of his career in Houston before spending a year each in Kansas City and Arizona. Winston has started every game since the 2007 season. His background in zone blocking systems, especially in Houston, should help ease his transition. “I think some of my best years have been in that zone scheme, obviously with Alex Gibbs, way back in Houston and that whole scheme after that and so I’ve had some of my best years and some of the best teams I’ve played on have used it,” Winston said. “I think it’s a perfect fit for me and it definitely helps me with the learning process.” Winston worked primarily with the second-string offense on his first day, but should get a chance to compete with rookie Justin Britt for the starting job. Michael Bowie was getting most of the first-team reps before being sidelined by a shoulder injury, so he’ll factor into the mix as well when he returns, which should

look up to, Smith spends every day around living and breathing proof that he will get a real chance to show what he can do, regardless of his draft status. “Those kind of guys got an opportunity and they took full advantage of it, so I’m trying to follow right behind them and take advantage of every opportunity I get here,” Smith said. “Every rep I get, and when I’m not out there, the mental reps so I can be on top of my game. Coming in late I’m a couple of months behind, but I’ve got to be on top of it. I’m just trying to take full advantage of it.” Like Kearse before him, Smith knows his best shot at making the team, or ever the practice squad, is to show he can contribute on special teams. If you’re fighting to be a team’s fifth or sixth receiver — the realistic best-case scenario for a player like Smith — making a big impact on special teams is the best way to stand out. That’s why Smith is getting work in as a gunner on punt coverage and on both kickoff coverage and as a blocker on the kick return team. “(Kearse) told me the little things you’ve got to do to try to make your way up there,” Smith said. “He’s given me some tips.” For Kearse, helping and undrafted rookie like Smith is just the next step in the journey

happen soon, Carroll said. While Winston has enjoyed a very distinguished career, he might be best known to Seahawks fans for the play against Seattle last year when he was flattened by safety Kam Chancellor. Perhaps that is part of the reason that Winston said of the Seahawks, “It will be a lot more fun playing with them than playing against them. In addition to Winston the Seahawks signed receiver Randall Carroll. To make room on the roster for Winston, Randall Carroll and cornerback Terrell Thomas, who signed Monday, the Seahawks released guard Bronson Irwin and cornerback Chandler Fenner, and placed receiver Taylor Price on injured reserve.

Seahawks on ESPN Seattle’s practice was aired live on ESPN. A helicopter flew over the practice facility throughout the TV event and cameras were stationed around the practice fields. “They were very open to how we would allow it to happen and we worked together to figure out a way. I don’t know how it came off. ... It didn’t bother us at all,” Carroll said. Herald Writer John Boyle: jboyle@ heraldnet.com. The Associated Press contributed to this story

from being roster hopeful himself to now being a near lock to not just make the team, but be one of the team’s top pass catchers. “I talk to him all the time, I’m on him all the time,” Kearse said. “I’m trying to do everything I can to help him out. If a younger guy — it’s funny I say ‘younger guy’ — if a younger guy asks me a question, I’m going to try to help him out the best I can. With Kevin, that’s my guy, so I’m trying to help him.” As for Kearse, he’s looking forward to building off of a 2013 season in which he caught 22 passes for 346 yards and four touchdowns, including the game-winning 43-yard score in Seattle’s season opener at Carolina. Kearse also had a 35-yard touchdown catch in the NFC Championship game to put Seattle ahead in the fourth quarter, then had that now famous 23-yard score against the Broncos in the Super Bowl. “It was huge,” Kearse said of his breakout season. “It just gives me a sense of what I can do. I don’t ever want to stay complacent. I’m always trying to get better, I’m always trying to perfect my craft. It just gave me a sense of the type of things I can do and made me want to do more.” Herald Writer John Boyle: jboyle@heraldnet.com.

BEREA, Ohio — Josh Gordon has a new, high-profile teammate to help him fight the NFL. Facing an indefinite suspension for marijuana use, Cleveland’s talented wide receiver has hired attorney Maurice Suh to represent him at his appeal hearing with the league this week, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press. Suh, who helped Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman win an appeal for a suspension in 2012, will be with Gordon in New York on Friday, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on Tuesday on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the talks. ESPN first reported Suh’s hiring. Gordon is facing an indefinite ban under the league’s substance abuse policy. While he awaits his hearing, the Pro Bowler has been at training camp with the Browns. He has declined interview requests. Suh helped Sherman win his appeal of a substance abuse violation on the grounds of a faulty test. According to the person who spoke to the AP, Gordon will contend failed test results were caused by secondhand marijuana smoke. Gordon’s attorney also is expected to point out that Gordon only tested positive once despite being tested over 70 times, and even then two samples taken did not match. ESPN and profootballtalk. com were first to report Gordon’s plans to clear his name. Gordon, who failed at least three drug tests in college for marijuana, was suspended for two games last season for what he claimed was for a prescribed cough medicine. Despite the suspension, he still led the league in yards receiving and broke several team records. The 23-year-old reportedly checked into rehab following a recent DWI arrest in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Browns are eager to find out if they will have Gordon at all this season. If Gordon loses his appeal, he’ll have to wait one year to apply to Commissioner Roger Goodell for reinstatement.

Sounders hope to bounce back like they’ve done before By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

TUKWILA — Seattle Sounders coach Sigi Schmid, on May 11: “It was just one of those days.” Schmid on Monday: “It’s just one of those things.” In the first case, Schmid was talking about his team’s 5-0 loss at New England. In the second, he was talking about Seattle’s 3-0 home loss

to the Los Angeles Galaxy. Schmid and the Sounders returned to training Tuesday hoping they can react to their latest embarrassing performance as well as they did to that earlier one. Seattle had gone into New England riding the wave of a first-place ranking and five-game winning streak. Then the Revolution scorched them for four firsthalf goals before going on to hand Seattle its worst Major League Soccer defeat. This time around, the Sounders went into the Galaxy match at the top of the MLS table and riding a sixgame home winning streak.

Then the visitors scored three goals in the first 36 minutes and handed Seattle its second-worst MLS home loss. The similarities were not lost on the Sounders. “We’ve been here before,” veteran defender Zach Scott said. “We’ve gotten slaughtered in New England and come back and put a pretty good streak together. … There’s a quick turnaround to a Saturday game, so we’ll kind of get on the horse and get back at it.” The Sounders followed their loss to the Revolution with a 4-0-1 run over their next five league matches. “What happened before

we got on that streak was at New England and that tough loss,” goalkeeper Stefan Frei said. “Obviously now it hurts with a tough loss — and especially at home — but you’ve got to show character and bound back. There are a lot of games coming really quickly. We need to dig deep and have a good week of practice — not even a whole week — but get better and hopefully we can get on another streak”. Interestingly, the Sounders bounced back from their loss to the Revs with a 1-0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes. Now once again, the Quakes appear as the next

Sims, Johnson help Shock roll over the Storm 80-74 Associated Press TULSA, Okla. — Odyssey Sims scored 21 points and Glory Johnson had 19 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Tulsa Shock over

the Seattle Storm 80-74 Tuesday night. Roneeka Hodges added a season-high 16 points and Skylar Diggins had 11 to become the Shock’s singleseason scoring leader with

425-259-5554

564 points. Johnson’s double-double was her 15th of the season for Tulsa (10-17). Sue Bird scored 15 points and Tanisha Wright added 14 for Seattle (9-19). Camille Little and Crystal Langhorne had 13 points apiece. Seattle led 18-15 after the first quarter and then faded. The Shock outscored Seattle, although not by much, in each of the other three quarters.

Diggins entered the game needing seven points to become the franchise’s single-season scoring leader. Deanna Nolan held the previous mark of 559, set in 2009 when the team was still in Detroit. Diggins struggled to get any offense going in the first half, as the secondyear guard was 1-for-5 from the field with four points. Diggins made a 3-pointer to open the second half to break Nolan’s record.

opponent on the schedule: a 7:30 p.m. Saturday match at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. And while the Sounders hope history repeats, Schmid stressed Tuesday that the ideal situation would be avoiding the need to bounce back at all. “You don’t want to have defeats like that,” he said. “You’ve always got to be a tough team to beat. Every time you step on the field you’ve got to have that mentality. The D.C. game is a good example where we won at D.C. (1-0). We didn’t maybe play the best soccer in that game, but we were

a tough team to beat. And so sometimes the soccer is going to click or not click due to one thing or another, but you’ve still got to be a tough team to beat.”

Added time The Sounders hoped to have a Tuesday update on defender Chad Marshall’s back injury, however no results were publicly announced. … Schmid said he expects left back Leo Gonzalez to be available Saturday. … Reserve goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann will fly with the Blue Angels on Wednesday as part of Seafair. … San Jose forward Yannick Djalo was voted MLS player of the week after recording a goal and two assists in the Quakes’ 5-1 win over the Chicago Fire on July 23.

Clippers’ Griffin has back injury Herald News Services The reason Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin declined last week to participate in Team USA’s basketball training camp is because of a back injury and not because he wanted to rest for the upcoming season. Griffin has a small fracture in his back that will require rest but not surgery, and that was the reason why he couldn’t make the training camp in Las Vegas that started Monday and won’t be able to play in the World Cup that starts next month.

Syrah popularity still high in Washington

uring the past few years, Syrah has been receiving a lot of grief. It’s somewhat inexplicable because the red grape often associated with France’s Northern Rhone Valley can make such delicious and approachable wines. Yet sales have suffered in the past half-decade, particularly with Australian Shiraz (another name for Syrah). In Washington state, however, Syrah is not slowing down. Last year, Washington grape growers harvested 15,300 tons of Syrah, a nearly 30 percent increase over 2012 (which was a then-record high 11,800 tons). Certainly, a great deal of Syrah is finding its way into red blends, which is the largest category of Washington wine — as it should because Syrah can add a rich suppleness to other reds. A bit of Syrah in the blend can provide subtle jamminess to a wine’s midpalate and round out the tannins. Winemakers love its versatility. At the lower end of the price scale (and the higher end of production), wineries have trouble moving Syrah. Ironically, those winemakers who specialize in high-quality, small-production and high-priced

Syrah can’t seem to make enough to please fans. Here are a few luscious Syrahs we’ve tasted recently. Ask for them at your favorite wine merchant or contact the wineries directly. Chateau Ste.

blueberry, black cherry, black licorice, black pepper, roasted coffee and chalkboard dust. Inside, it’s rich and juicy as Marionberry flavors jump into the lead, while pleasing textures of bittersweet chocolate and black licorice serve as the sendoff. (15.4 percent) Helix by Reininger 2010 Syrah, Columbia Valley, $30: Here’s an elegant and lighter approach toward Syrah, starting with aromas

of Marionberry, black cherry and boysenberry with mere hints of violet, cigar box, white pepper and dark chocolate in the background. Flavors tilt toward boysenberry, fresh plum, cherry and red currant in front of lovely tannins and graphite-like minerality. (14.5 percent) Koenig Vineyards 2011 Three Vineyard Cuvée Syrah, Snake River Valley, $20: Beautiful floral notes of sage, lilac and lavender

are joined by blackberry, blueberry, vanilla bean and black pepper. There’s a delicious approach of purple fruit flavors with blackberry, plum and ripe blueberry, backed by Earl Grey tea tannins, moist earth and graphite. On the finish comes a bite of black olive. (14.2 percent) Northwest Cellars 2010 Coyote Canyon Vineyard Syrah, Horse Heaven Hills, $32: This starts with aromas of baked brownie, black cherry, sizzling ham, marshmallow, vanilla cream and cracked black pepper. On the palate, there are flavors of blackberry, black currant and sarsaparilla in a structure that pushes raspberry acidity well beyond tannin.

Gewurztraminer: A powerful wine grape like no other Chicago Tribune

The white wine grape gewurztraminer is a world of its own. No other grape, when made into a wine, can boast that it has perfume and flavor as fierce as gewurztraminer’s — of rose petals and orange blossoms, litchi fruit,

citrus and bergamot peel, and juicy, ripe tropical fruits. Sauvignon blanc, yes, and muscat can boast of their powerful aromas; viognier’s texture is plush, sometimes almost oily; pinot noir’s flavor is persistent, seemingly never-ending. But gewurztraminer sports all those

characteristics in and of itself. In German, “gewurz” means “spice” or “spicy,” although gewurztraminer’s aroma doesn’t call to mind any particular spice such as clove or juniper. Because of the name, gewurztraminer has long been suggested as a wine partner to spicy food, such as Indian cuisine or Asian

cooking, the spice referred to being chili heat. In fact, it is disastrous with chilies because of its high alcohol (14 percent or higher is common), not to mention difficult to pair with most food due to its generally low acidity. Most all winemakers agree that, with gewurztraminer, there is a clear correlation between vine

yield and wine quality. Gewurztraminer is a vigorous vine and can dilute its juiciness and perfume with high grape yields. The best gewurztraminer comes from Alsace. It’s helpful to note how those in Alsace are gifted

at distilling a fruit such as the raspberry into an extraordinarily heady eau de vie, clearer than water but more perfumed than anything by Chanel. They do the same thing, in a wine, with the grape gewurztraminer.
