Java Juggs owner pleads guilty Woman who ran drive-through brothels could testify against ex-cop By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

MARK MULLIGAN / THE HERALD

Former stripper Carmela Panico, 52, of Snohomish pleaded guilty to second-degree promoting prostitution and money laundering.

EVERETT — A Snohomish woman admitted Tuesday that she operated drive-through brothels out of her bikini espresso stands and laundered the hefty profits to conceal her crimes. Carmela Panico was in Snohomish County Superior Court to answer to allegations that her coffee huts, Java Juggs and Twin Peaks, were prostitution

operations that made her millions. In an agreement reached before the hearing, Panico pleaded guilty to second-degree promoting prostitution and money laundering, both felonies. In exchange, the former exotic dancer will surrender her claims to the nearly $250,000 Everett police seized from her home in 2013. Panico also agreed to walk away from her coffee businesses, turning her five Snohomish County stands over to the city of Everett. She also promised not to

operate any new coffee huts in the county. Panico, 52, also must provide “testimony against others who were involved in her criminal activities.” That could mean she will testify against Darrell O’Neill, a former Snohomish County sheriff’s sergeant accused of helping Panico avoid detection by police. O’Neill allegedly was given sex in exchange for his help. Panico admitted on Tuesday that she personally provided sexual favors to the former

sergeant. O’Neill’s trial is scheduled to begin in November. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Bob Hendrix plans to recommend that Panico be sentenced to two days in jail and be given credit for two days already served. She is scheduled to be sentenced in March and faces up to a year in jail. After Tuesday’s hearing, See GUILTY, back page, this section

SMOKEY POINT — They remembered two little boys Tuesday with love and generosity and the joyful noise of children at play. Hunter and Wyatt Ruthven were among the youngest victims of the March 22 Oso mudslide. The brothers, 6

and 4, died along with their parents and two of their grandparents when the hill swept away their home along the banks of the North Fork Stillaguamish River. At the Northwest Children’s School in Smokey Point, where the boys had attended preschool classes, surviving family and friends gathered Tuesday to dedicate a renovated playground in their memory.

EVERETT — With a stack of ambitious projects in the works or on the planning board, Port of Everett commissioners tapped an insider to take over the port’s top job. The three commissioners on Tuesday voted unanimously to offer the job to Les Reardanz, the port’s deputy executive director. He will succeed his boss, outgoing port director John Mohr, who will stay on through the end of the year to help with the transition. PORT OF EVERETT Reardanz told the Les Reardanz commissioners he is “humbled and honored” by their decision. “I will work very hard to justify that confidence,” he said. The port has a stack of ambitious plans to reinvigorate little-used land, clean up decades of pollution and expand shipping facilities.

TORONTO — Canadian pop star Justin Bieber faces new charges after he was arrested for dangerous driving and assault following a collision between a minivan and an ATV that led to a physical altercation involving a photographer, his lawyer said Tuesday. Ontario Provincial Police said Bieber, who was driving the ATV, and an occupant of the minivan “engaged in a physical altercation,” Friday afternoon near Bieber’s hometown of Stratford. “Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez’s peaceful retreat in Stratford this weekend was unfortunately disrupted by the unwelcome presence of the paparazzi,” Brian Greenspan, Bieber’s Toronto lawyer, said Tuesday. “This has regrettably resulted in

charges of dangerous driving and assault. Mr. Bieber and Ms. Gomez have fully cooperated in the police investigation. We are hopeful that this matter will be quickly resolved.” Bieber, 20, turned himself in to a police station Monday and was arrested, then released on a promise to appear in court Sept. 29, Constable Kees Wijnands said. Wijnands said there were no injuries as a result of the collision, but could not say whether there were any injuries from the altercation.

SAN DIEGO — Retired Navy Capt. Walter Mazzone, a decorated submarine officer in World War II and later a key figure in the development of deep-sea diving and submarine rescue procedures during the Cold War, has died at age 96. As a submariner, Mazzone was involved in two of the war’s most harrowing undersea missions. For his war service, Mazzone was awarded a Silver Star, Bronze Star with Combat V, and a Navy Commendation

Medal with Combat V. He went on seven combat patrols. Later he was assigned to the Naval Medical Research Laboratory and joined the effort to enhance the Navy’s deepsea diving capability. With the Cold War underway, U.S. officials believed that maintaining superiority in diving and submarine capability was key to thwarting the Soviet Union at sea. He became project manager for the Sealab program that sought to test how humans could adapt to long periods on the seafloor.

WASHINGTON — Chris Brown pleaded guilty on Tuesday to punching a man in the face outside a Washington hotel, an assault that occurred while the singer was on Chris Brown probation for attacking his then-girlfriend Rihanna. Brown pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and was sentenced to time served. He spent two days in a District of Columbia jail in the case, one that further tarnished the image of the Grammy-winning singer. Brown, 25, admitted that he hit a man who tried to get in a picture the singer was taking with two women outside the W hotel a few blocks from the White House last October. The victim, Parker Adams, suffered a broken nose. At the time of the arrest, Brown was on probation in a felony assault case for attacking pop star Rihanna hours before the 2009 Grammy awards. The arrest led a judge in California to revoke his probation, and he was ordered in May to serve an additional 131 days in jail.

operations. Previously, he spent more than a decade with the city of Bellingham, where he worked as a legal advisor and spent nearly two years overseeing redevelopment of the waterfront.

He has been a lawyer for the U.S. Navy for more than 20 years, most of it as a reserve officer. In 2008, he advised the top NATO commander in Afghanistan on developing that country’s judicial system. Reardanz had tough

Reardanz’s familiarity with the port set him apart, though, said Commissioner Tom Stiger. He knows the plans, policies and politics affecting the port’s future. But even the best plans have to be adjusted, said Commissioner Troy McClelland. “The question is, are we going to be nimble and quick enough” to adjust?

Protest blocks train tracks

Activists climb a tripod at an Everett rail yard to decry fossil fuel shipments.

By Rikki King Herald Writer

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — More than two dozen people opposed to shipments of oil and coal blocked railroad tracks and cheered from bridges above a Burlington Northern Santa Fe yard on Tuesday morning. The demonstration began about 6 a.m. in what’s known as the Delta rail yard along the Snohomish River in north Everett, with people erecting an 18-foothigh tripod across the tracks. On a siding nearby, a long train of oil tank cars sat idle. Five people were either on or otherwise attached to the tripod. Others mingled on and alongside the tracks. The five protesters were cut free or lowered to the ground and arrested. They were handcuffed and driven off in police cars around 2:30 p.m. Among them were recently retired Everett schoolteacher Jackie Minchew and Everett cafe owner Mike Lapointe. Both have run unsuccessfully for public office — Minchew for Everett City Council, Lapointe for Congress in the 2nd District. “We are doing what is called a peaceful, non-violent protest,” Minchew said by cellphone during the protest. He said he’s concerned about global warming and climate disruption. The demonstration was announced by the group Rising Tide Seattle to protest shipments of oil, coal and gas by train and proposed shipping terminals in the Northwest. Delaney Piper, a spokeswoman for the protesters, said that using a structure like the tripod is unusual in a developed area. Typically, such structures are used to protest in the forest. Abby Brockway, a Seattle woman wearing a green hard hat and bright yellow windbreaker,

Brockway said she didn’t know if she would be able to see her daughter, 12, off to her first day of school Wednesday. “She is disappointed, but I know that someday she will understand,” she said.

In June 2013, I wrote about Cocoon House working with Everett Transit to bring the National Safe Place program to Snohomish County.

The Everett-based nonprofit provides shelter and other services to

I wasn’t the only one curious about whether kids would actually see signs and reach out for help. “It was amazing to see how many calls we got. We honestly anticipated a couple calls,” said Jen Chwalibog, director of development and community relations at Cocoon House. Between Nov. 1 and July 31, Chwalibog said, Cocoon House

Brockway, a Seattle resident, is taken into custody by police after being plucked from the tripod. Four other protestors also were arrested.

MONROE — For more than a year, police here have been building a complex case to shut down a drug house in the Woods Creek area. They’ve made at least 27 arrests in connection with drug activity at the house along Corbridge Road, Sgt. Ryan Irving said. Those arrested also have been linked to thefts, burglaries and drug crimes in Monroe. One addict told police that “all the druggies in town know of the house,” Monroe officer Scott Kornish wrote in an affidavit. In August, the case led to felony charges against the homeowner, who is accused of “unlawful use of a building for drug purposes.” Police allege that the woman, 56, was accepting heroin and meth from drug dealers in lieu of rent. In May 2013, Kornish started using an unmarked car to conduct surveillance on the house after a spike in complaints from the neighbors. Kornish saw a lot of people making numerous short visits to the house. The woman and her thenhusband bought the two-story house in 2007, county property records show. They later divorced, and she became the sole owner in 2012. The next year, she told police she had been a heroin addict for several years but had switched to using prescription drugs. Over time, police arrested multiple drug dealers who were operating from the house, court papers show. Some of the drug transactions also were happening at a nearby park. Police warned the woman to stop allowing drug sales on her property. They served See HOUSE, Page A4

LAKE STEVENS — Denise Evans is getting ready to open the city’s first recreational pot shop. She hopes to start selling marijuana at Cannablyss, located at 2705 Hartford Dr., by the end of September. Her state marijuana license was approved Aug. 21. Evans decided to postpone opening until she had an affordable supply of marijuana. “That’s the hardest thing right now,” she said. “You can be licensed but unable to open due to lack of supply.” She hopes to start selling Sept.

Drive-through registration begins at 7 a.m. at Harbor Marine off 10th Street. Awards and prizes are given in several categories, with live music, a beer

The staff consists of the couple and their three adult children. They plan to be open from 10 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Evans turned in her application for a marijuana license an hour before the state’s 5 p.m. deadline on Dec. 20. “It was just kind of a spur of the moment thing,” she said.

The city council passed an ordinance in February that regulates recreational pot shops within city limits. They are allowed in commercial and industrial zones but must be at least 1,000 feet away from schools, playgrounds, daycares, parks, transit centers, libraries, arcades and other marijuana shops. No other marijuana shops have been licensed in Lake Stevens.

County pays $95,000 in public records battle over death at county jail EVERETT — Snohomish County reportedly has agreed to a $95,000 settlement after a protracted public records battle with the mother of a severely allergic Mukilteo man who died in the county jail in 2012. Attorneys representing Rosemary Saffioti were seeking jail security video footage from the morning her son, Michael, collapsed and died. He’d been booked the day before on a misdemeanor marijuana possession warrant out of Lynnwood. His mother believes he died because he didn’t get

timely medical attention after an allergic reaction to the breakfast he was served in the jail. Saffioti’s attorneys filed a public records request for the tapes, but initially were told the video didn’t exist. Eventually, the county turned over the footage. “In our mind, it is about as egregious a violation you can have because it is such crucial evidence,” said Cheryl Snow, who has been representing Saffioti. A county deputy prosecutor who handles civil cases was not available for comment Tuesday afternoon. The case is scheduled to go to trial in 2015.

Students gain job skills while earning academic credit and a modest wage. “We have actually had students in our program from Cocoon House,” said David Trader, executive director of Work Force Development Center. “We do get students who are already parents at 17 or 18, and some are homeless. It’s nice to have a partnership like that, a place to refer them.” Trader said students spend half a day at the center, with some working night shifts. “We help them get through school. Some are struggling on the street and have no place to live,” Trader said. The Safe Place signs are up at both sites where work is done for the aviation, automotive and other industries. Over the summer, 15 young people were being helped by Work Force Development Center. Trader said that number will grow to about 60 once school is in full

swing. The Everett Public Library became a Safe Place partner Aug. 1, Chwalibog said. And by Nov. 1, she said, the 21 libraries in the SnoIsle Libraries system are expected to join the program. Employees of partner agencies are trained in what to do if a young person asks for help. Bus drivers, librarians and the employees at Work Force Development Center know to call Cocoon House, which has its own staff trained as Safe Place “navigators.” “We have two navigators on call 24-7. They can get a call at 2 in the morning, and will pick up one of our volunteers if they need to transport a youth,” Chwalibog said. If a child needs a ride, two trained adults go together to help. A teen might be a runaway, a victim of the sex trade, or may have left a dangerous party. Needs can range from a simple ride home to emergency shelter and counseling. “It allows us to reach kids in that moment they want help,” Cocoon House CEO Cassie Franklin said a year ago when the program was launched.

Call for help Young people in crisis may contact Cocoon House at: 425-877-5171. Learn more about the National Safe Place program at: nationalsafeplace.org.

Chwalibog said the volume of calls was a surprise. “We had 21 calls from youth in the first three months we ran the program. In King County in the first three months, they got three calls each month,” she said. One caller’s plight has stuck with her. “We had one young lady, it was around the holidays last year, and she had a baby,” Chwalibog said. The mom and her infant immediately moved into Cocoon House’s new Maternity Group Home in Arlington. They stayed several months until another stable place was found. “Sometimes kids are just calling because they’re confused,” Chwalibog said. “They just need someone to talk to for a minute.” Julie Muhlstein: 425339-3460; jmuhlstein@ heraldnet.com.

SULTAN — Officials have identified a man who died Sunday while hiking north of Sultan. Richard W. Maehren, 53, of Lynnwood, died from natural causes,

according to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office. His body was recovered near Copper Lake, on the south side of Big Four Mountain, between Sultan and the Mountain Loop Highway.

likely involved multiple suspects. It was reported to police about 9:30 a.m. Friday. Anyone who knows something should call 425-771-0200. “The charge and crime would be malicious mischief and likely a felony due to the number of trees damaged or ones that had to be replaced,” Marsh said.

OCEAN SHORES — Thanks in part to help from a Lynnwood man, a husband and wife from Spanaway barely survived a rip current at an Ocean Shores beach. KBKW reported that emergency responders answered a 911 call on Monday afternoon and found a 44-year-old man on

the beach having difficulty breathing. He said his wife was caught in a rip current and he went to help her, but got caught himself. The 43-year-old woman was still in the surf, about 300 feet off shore, beyond the breakers. A 29-year-old Lynnwood man used his boogie board to reach her and bring her close to shore where they were met by medics.

Video of 2nd beheading released American journalist Steven Sotloff has apparently been killed by Islamic extremists. By Zeina Karam Associated Press

BEIRUT — Islamic State extremists released a video Tuesday purportedly showing the beheading of a second American journalist, Steven Sotloff, and warning President Barack Obama that as long as U.S. airstrikes against the militant group continue, “our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people.” The footage — depicting what the U.S. called a sickening act of brutality — was posted two weeks after the release of video showing the killing of James Foley and just days after Sotloff’s mother

pleaded for his life. Barak Barfi, a spokesman for the family, said that the Sotloffs had seen the video but that authorities have not established its authenticity. “The family knows of this horrific tragedy and is grieving privately. There will be no public comment from the family during this difficult time,” Barfi said. Sotloff, a 31-year-old Miami-area native who freelanced for Time and Foreign Policy magazines, vanished in Syria in August 2013 and was not seen again until he appeared in a video released last month that showed Foley’s beheading. Dressed in an orange jumpsuit against an arid Syrian landscape, Sotloff was threatened in that video with death unless the U.S. stopped airstrikes on the Islamic State. In the video distributed

Tuesday and titled “A Second Message to America,” Sotloff appears in a similar jumpsuit before he is apparently beheaded by a fighter with the Islamic State, the extremist group that has conquered wide swaths of territory across Syria and Iraq and declared itself a caliphate. In the video, the organization threatens to kill another hostage, this one identified as a British citizen, David Cawthorne Haines. It was not immediately clear who Haines was. Britain and France called the killing “barbaric.” British Prime Minister David Cameron said in a statement that he would chair an emergency response meeting with his Cabinet early Wednesday to review the latest developments. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman

Jen Psaki said U.S. intelligence analysts will work as quickly as possible to determine if the video is authentic. “If the video is genuine, we are sickened by this brutal act, taking the life of another innocent American citizen,” Psaki said. “Our hearts go out to the Sotloff family.” Psaki said it is believed that “a few” Americans are still being held by the Islamic State. Psaki would not give any specifics, but one is a 26-yearold woman kidnapped while doing humanitarian aid work in Syria, according to a family representative who asked that the hostage not be identified out of fear for her safety. At Sotloff’s parents’ home in Pinecrest, Florida., two police vehicles blocked the driveway Tuesday, and officers advised journalists to stay away. Friends of the family could be seen coming and going.

U.S. targets leader of al-Shabab If leaderless, some fear the organization might join the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq. By Abdi Guled Associated Press

MOGADISHU, Somalia — U.S. airstrikes in Somalia may have killed the leader of the Islamic extremist group al-Shabab, with a militant commander saying Tuesday that he was in a car that was struck and that six people died. The leader, Ahmed Abdi Godane, has no heir apparent. If he has been killed, it would be a “significant blow” to alShabab’s organization and abilities, said U.S. Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman, who confirmed the strikes targeting Godane. But Godane’s death could also lead the group to ditch its association with al-Qaida and align itself with the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq, analysts said. Al-Shabab gained international notoriety a year ago this month when it attacked the upscale Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya, killing at least 67 people. Godane was in one of two vehicles hit by the U.S. military strikes Monday night, said Abu Mohammed, an al-Shabab commander and spokesman. He said six militants were killed, but would not say if Godane was among them. The U.S. strikes hit Godane after he left a meeting of the group’s top leaders, said a senior Somali intelligence official. Intelligence indicated Godane “might have been killed along with other militants,” said the Somali official, who spoke on condition of anonymity since he was not authorized to speak to the press. Kirby, the Pentagon spokesman, said the U.S. launched the operation based on “actionable” intelligence, and the strikes “hit what we were aiming at.” But commanders were waiting to determine the outcome of the attack. The strikes on an encampment and a vehicle were conducted by special operations forces using manned and unmanned aircraft, according to Kirby. They struck using several hellfire missiles and precision-guided munitions. A witness in Somalia described ground-shaking explosions. Somali government and African Union forces heading to a town in the district heard what sounded like an “earthquake,” said the governor of Somalia’s Lower Shabelle region, Abdiqadir Mohamed Nor.

Health workers on Tuesday get ready to transport the body of a patient suspected of dying from the Ebola virus in Monrovia, Liberia.

World is ‘losing’ Ebola battle Doctors Without Borders is calling on more countries to help. By Alexandra Olson and Sarah DiLorenzo Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS — The international group Doctor Without Borders warned Tuesday that the world is losing the battle against Ebola and lamented that treatment centers in West Africa have been “reduced to places where people go to die alone.” In separate remarks after a United Nations meeting on the crisis, the World Health Organization chief said everyone involved had underestimated the outbreak, which has now killed more than 1,500 people in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra

Leone and Nigeria. U.N. officials implored governments worldwide to send medical workers and material contributions. Meanwhile in Liberia, a missionary organization announced that another American doctor has become infected. Doctors Without Borders, which has treated more than 1,000 Ebola patients in West Africa since March, is completely overwhelmed by the disease, said Joanne Liu, the organization’s president. She called on other countries to contribute civilian and military medical personnel familiar with biological disasters. “Six months into the worst Ebola epidemic in history, the world is losing the battle to contain it,” Liu said at a U.N.

forum on the outbreak. “Ebola treatment centers are reduced to places where people go to die alone, where little more than palliative care is offered.” In Sierra Leone, she said, infectious bodies are rotting in the streets. Liberia had to build a new crematorium instead of new Ebola care centers. Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the situation is now the world’s first Ebola epidemic, given how widely it’s spreading. The latest missionary to come down with the disease, a male obstetrician, was not immediately identified by the group Serving In Mission. The group did not specify how he contracted the disease, but it can be spread through vaginal fluids. He did not work in an Ebola ward.

Family of girl with Uzi ‘devastated’ Prosecutors lay most of the blame on the instructor who was killed. By Jacques Billeaud And Josh Cornfield Associated Press

PHOENIX — An attorney for the parents of a 9-year-old girl who accidentally killed an Arizona shooting range instructor with an Uzi said Tuesday the family is devastated by the tragedy that occurred on a brief excursion during a vacation. The statement came as investigators released police reports and 911 recordings involving the Aug. 25 shooting of instructor Charles Vacca at the Last Stop range in White Hills, Arizona, about 60 miles south of Las Vegas. The police reports name the child’s parents as Alex Gen and Alison MacLachlan and don’t

list the couple’s hometown. The police reports say that immediately after the shooting, the girl said she felt the gun was too much for her and had hurt her shoulder. The family had taken a shuttle from Las Vegas to the range. The girl’s father was the first one in the party to handle a weapon. After he fired shots, Vacca instructed the girl on how to shoot the gun, showed her a shooting stance, and helped her fire a few rounds. He then stepped back and let her hold the Uzi by herself. She fired the gun, and its recoil wrenched the Uzi upward, killing Vacca with a shot to the head, the reports state. The girl dropped the Uzi, and Vacca fell to the ground. The girl ran toward her family. Another instructor rushed over to help to Vacca. The reports describe the family as shaken by the

accident. Recordings of 911 calls show that people at the shooting range desperately tried to keep the unconscious Vacca alive as they urged 911 dispatchers to send a medical helicopter. Vacca was flown to a Las Vegas hospital where he died hours later. Prosecutors are not filing charges in the case. Arizona’s workplace safety agency is investigating the death. County prosecutors say the instructor was probably the most criminally negligent person involved in the accident for having allowed the child to hold the gun without enough training. They also said the parents and child weren’t criminally culpable. Vacca’s ex-wife and children have said they harbor no ill feelings toward the girl and her family. Instead, they feel sorry for the child and want to comfort her.

2,202 US. military died in Afghanistan As of Tuesday, at least 2,202 members of the U.S. military had died in Afghanistan as a result of the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001, according to an Associated Press count, which is three less than the Defense Department’s tally, last updated Tuesday. At least 1,822 service members died in Afghanistan as a result of hostile action, according to the military’s numbers. Outside of Afghanistan, the department reports at least 134 more members of the U.S. military died in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Of those, 11 were the result of hostile action. The AP count of total OEF casualties outside of Afghanistan is five more than the department’s tally. Since the start of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan, 19,959 U.S. service members have been wounded in hostile action, according to the Defense Department.

Russia: Kremlin says Putin ‘taken out of context’ Ukrainian security officials accused Russia of sending more troops and equipment into eastern Ukraine as controversy ensued Tuesday over Russian President Vladimir Putin’s reported boast that he could conquer Kiev in two weeks if he wanted. A Kremlin spokesman lashed out at European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, the reported source of Putin’s bellicose vow, saying the Russian leader’s words were taken out of context and that disclosure of his conversation with Barroso was “beyond the bounds of diplomatic practices.” According to Italy’s La Repubblica and the British tabloid Daily Mail, Barroso reported to the EU leaders in Brussels on a telephone conversation he had with Putin just prior to their gathering Saturday. “If I want to, I can take Kiev in a fortnight,” Putin reportedly told Barroso in the conversation, in which he also was said to repeat denials that Russia has armed forces on its neighbor’s territory.

ACROSS THE U.S. N.Y.: Feds can withhold Guantanamo images The U.S. government can withhold photographs and videotapes of a Guantanamo Bay detainee identified as the would-be 20th hijacker in the Sept. 11 terror attacks, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday. T he 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan agreed with the government that images of Mohammed al-Qahtani, if made public, “could logically and plausibly be used by anti-American extremists as propaganda to recruit members and incite violence against American interests at home and abroad.” Authorities have said al-Qahtani narrowly missed being one of the hijackers when he was denied entry into the U.S. at an Orlando, Florida, airport a month before the attacks. He was captured by Pakistani forces in December 2001 and taken to Guantanamo, where he remains.

Wash. D.C.: Study links polar vortex to melting sea ice Remember the polar vortex, the huge mass of Arctic air that can plunge much of the U.S. into the deep freeze? You might have to get used to it. A new study says that as the world gets warmer, parts of North America, Europe and Asia could see more frequent and stronger visits of that cold air. Researchers say that’s because of shrinking ice in the seas off Russia. Normally, the polar vortex is penned in the Arctic. But at times it escapes and wanders south, bringing with it a bit of Arctic super chill. Normally, sea ice keeps heat energy from escaping the ocean and entering the atmosphere. When there’s less ice, more energy gets into the atmosphere and weakens the jet stream, the highaltitude river of air that usually keeps Arctic air from wandering south, said study co-author Jin-Ho Yoon of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington. So the cold air escapes instead. That happened relatively infrequently in the 1990s, but since 2000 it has happened nearly every year, according to a study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications.

Keep hackers out of your cloud The stars’ nude photos may be circulating, but yours don’t have to. By Mae Anderson Associated Press

NEW YORK — The circulation of nude photographs stolen from celebrities’ online accounts has thrown a spotlight on the security of cloud computing, a system used by a growing number of Americans to store personal information over the Internet. On Tuesday, Apple acknowledged the security breakdown and blamed it on intruders who

were able to figure out usernames and passwords and bypass other safeguards. The company said it found no evidence of a widespread problem in iCloud or its Find my iPhone services. But the theft of the photos raises questions about the protection of information stored beyond a person’s own computer or mobile device. If celebrities’ photos aren’t safe, then whose are? Some key questions and answers about information that is stored remotely: Q: What is the cloud? A: The cloud is a way of storing photos, documents, email and other data on faraway machines.

Amazon, Apple, Google and Microsoft all offer cloud-based storage. Smaller companies like Dropbox and Evernote do, too. The practice saves space on computers, smartphones and tablets and allows users to access the same information from any device. And if you lose your phone, for example, you don’t lose your vacation pictures. The drawback is that you are putting your information somewhere else, so you run the risk of a hacking attack on those systems and accounts. Q: Is it secure? A: For the most part, yes. Companies invest a lot to ensure that customers’ private information stays private. “The short answer

is the cloud is often more secure than other storage,” says Rich Mogull, CEO of security research and advisory firm Securosis. But that doesn’t mean the system can’t be compromised. “There are a lot of attackers who have a lot of time,” Mogull says. Q: How can individuals make their data more secure? A: You need passwords to access your accounts, so choosing a strong one is important. Tim Bajarin, an analyst at technology research firm Creative Strategies, recommends having different passwords for each account you hold online, See CLOUD, Page A10

$9.1B bid for Family Dollar By Matt Townsend Dollar General, fighting to maintain its lead in the industry, raised its bid for Family Dollar Stores and threatened to take the offer directly to investors if it gets rejected again. Dollar General bid $9.1 billion, or $80 a share in cash, compared with an offer of $78.50 made two weeks ago that was rebuffed on antitrust concerns. Dollar General said it would sell as many as 1,500 locations, up from 700 in its previous approach, and pay Family Dollar $500 million if the deal fails on regulatory approval. Tuesday’s sweetened proposal escalates a bidding war against Dollar Tree, which had won over Family Dollar with a July offer of $8.5 billion, or $74.50 a share — a deal seen as more friendly to antitrust regulators. If that merger goes ahead, Dollar General risks losing its status as the largest dollar-store chain just as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. pushes into the market with smaller-format stores. “Family Dollar definitely has some more thinking to do,” said Poonam Goyal, a senior retail analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence. By increasing the stores it is willing to divest, Dollar General is “definitely showing that it wants to make this deal happen.” Stock for Family Dollar, based in Matthews, North Carolina, had been trading above Dollar General’s rejected offer, a sign that investors expected the chain to raise its bid. Dollar General, based in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, gained 0.9 percent to $64.56 while Dollar Tree advanced 1.8 percent to $54.60. “Family Dollar’s board of directors, in consultation with its legal and financial advisers, will review and consider the revised proposal,” the company said in a statement Tuesday. The pursuit of Family Dollar has created tension between it and Dollar General. The companies have publicly traded barbs, accusing each other of misstating facts surrounding a meeting on June 19 to discuss a possible combination. Family Dollar has painted a

Unsafe at any angle Fights break out among fliers as seats are reclined By Scott Mayerowitz Associated Press

NEW YORK — Squeezed into tighter and tighter spaces, airline passengers appear to be rebelling, taking their frustrations out on other fliers. Three U.S. flights made unscheduled landings in the past eight days after passengers got into fights over the ability to recline their seats. Disputes over a tiny bit of personal space might seem petty, but for passengers whose knees are already banging into tray tables, every inch counts. “Seats are getting closer together,” says Sara Nelson,

president of the Association of Flight Attendants, which represents 60,000 flight attendants at 19 airlines. “We have to de-escalate conflict all the time.” There are fights over overhead bin space, legroom and where to put winter coats. “We haven’t hit the end of it,” Nelson says. “The conditions continue to march in a direction that will lead to more and more conflict.” Airlines today are juggling terror warnings in Britain, an Ebola outbreak in Africa and an Icelandic volcano erupting and threating to close down European airspace. Yet, the issue of disruptive passengers has

captured the world’s attention. It’s getting to the point where the pre-flight safety videos need an additional warning: Be nice to your neighbor. The International Air Transport Association calls unruly passengers “an escalating problem,” saying there was one incident for every 1,300 flights in the past three years. The trade group would not share detailed historical data to back up the assertion that this is a growing problem. Today’s flying experience is far from glamorous.

Halliburton avoids big payout The $1.1 billion will compensate victims of the 2010 Gulf well explosion. By David Wethe and Margaret Cronin Fisk Bloomberg News

HOUSTON — Halliburton’s agreement to pay $1.1 billion to settle most of the lawsuits over its role in the biggest U.S. offshore oil spill helps it avoid billions more in potential penalties. The oilfield services company, accused of doing defective work on BP’s Macondo well before it exploded in 2010, killing 11 men and dumping millions of

barrels of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico, said the agreement resolves “a substantial majority” of its liability in the disaster. The agreement removes much of the uncertainty that has plagued Halliburton for the past four years as investors waited to see how much the company might be hurt by payouts in the case. Halliburton has set aside reserves of $1.3 billion for costs related to the incident. Shares fell 0.1 percent to $67.54 at 10:16 a.m. Tuesday in New York trading. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier is expected to rule within days or weeks on how much blame each company carries for the disaster. A decision that Halliburton committed fraud and gross

negligence in the case would have opened the company to billions in punitive and compensatory damages. The settlement avoids that by resolving both punitive and compensatory liability in most lawsuits from private plaintiffs and local governments. BP and Transocean both continue to face liability from those lawsuits. Halliburton’s agreement is subject to court approval and doesn’t cover claims by states including Louisiana and Alabama, or private party claims eligible for compensatory damages only, such as businesses alleging harm from the federal drilling moratorium after the spill.

The newest location is at the former Top Foods supermarket at 1605 SE Everett Mall Way. This is the seventh Walmart in the county with the eighth expected to open in Monroe in November.

Home Depot said it was working with banks and law enforcement to investigate a possible data breach. “We’re looking into some unusual activity,” Paula Drake, a spokeswoman for the Atlanta-based company, said. “If we confirm that a breach has occurred, we will make sure customers are notified immediately.” Brian Krebs, the independent journalist who uncovered a hacker attack at Target last year, reported that a “massive” batch of stolen credit- and debit-card information went on sale Tuesday morning.

She has been publisher for seven years. The move follows the sale of the publication last year to Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos.

screening, push and shove at the gate to be first on board, and then fight for the limited overhead bin space. They are already agitated by the time they arrive at their row and see how cramped it is. To boost their profits, airlines have been adding more rows of seats to planes in the past few years. Southwest and United both took away one inch from each row on certain jets to make room for six more seats. American is increasing the number of seats on its Boeing 737800s from 150 to 160. Delta installed new, smaller toilets in its 737-900s, enabling it to squeeze in an extra four seats. And to make room for a firstclass cabin with lie-flat beds on its transcontinental flights, JetBlue cut one inch of legroom for coach passengers. Airlines say passengers won’t notice because the seats are being redesigned to create a sense of more space. Southwest’s seats have thinner seatback magazine pockets, Alaska Airlines shrank the size of tray tables, and United moved the magazine pocket, getting it away from passengers’ knees.

just losing legroom; they’re losing elbow room. Airlines sold 84 percent of their seats on domestic flights so far this year, up from 81 percent five years ago and 74 percent a decade ago, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. That means there are fewer and fewer empty middle seats on which passengers can spread out. The latest spate of passenger problems started Aug. 24, when a man on a United flight prevented the woman in front of him from reclining thanks to a $21.95 gadget called the Knee Defender. It attaches to a passenger’s tray table and prevents the person in front from reclining. A flight attendant told the man to remove the device. He refused, and the passenger one row forward dumped a cup of water on him. Three days later, on an American flight from Miami to Paris, two passengers got into a fight, again over a reclining seat, and the plane was diverted to Boston. Then on Sunday night, on a Delta flight from New York to West Palm Beach, Florida, a woman resting her head on a tray table got upset when the passenger in front of her reclined his seat, hitting her in the head. That plane was diverted to Jacksonville, Florida. The passengers on both the United and Delta flights

were already sitting in premium coach sections that have 4 inches of extra legroom. There were 14,903 flight diversions by U.S. airlines in the 12-month period ending in June, according to an Associated Press analysis of Department of Transportation reports. That means, 41 flights a day, on average, make unscheduled landings at other airports. The government doesn’t break out the reason for diversions, but industry experts say the vast majority occur because of bad weather or mechanical problems. And diversions remain a tiny portion of the 6 million annual flights in the U.S. — less than a quarter of a percentage point. The decision to divert is up to the pilot. Delta spokesman Morgan Durrant says the crew must determine if the person is going to cause harm to others or has terrorist intentions. It can cost an airline $6,000 an hour, plus airport landing fees, to divert the standard domestic jet, according to independent airline analyst Robert Mann. “These costs are among the reasons why airlines ought to be arbitrating these in-flight issues instead of diverting, not to mention the significant inconvenience to all customers and possible disruption of onward connections,” Mann says. Ben Baldanza, CEO of Spirit Airlines, says that if airlines install seats that can recline, passengers should have the right to recline. Of course, Spirit and Allegiant Air are the only U.S. airlines to install seats that don’t recline. “People should lose the emotion,” Baldanza says. “We’ve never had to divert because of legroom issues.”

so a breach in one system won’t compromise another. It is also important to have a number and punctuation mark in each password or a creative spelling of a word to make it harder to guess. Also, avoid using common words or notable birthdays as passwords. Another way to make your information harder to hack is called multifactor, or two-step, identification. That means the first time you log onto an account from a new device, you are asked for a second form of identification. Usually, that involves getting sent a code as a text on your phone or an email. A hacker who has your password would still need physical possession of your phone to get the text. Most major cloud services, including Apple’s iCloud, Google Drive and Dropbox, offer this kind of protection. Amazon’s Cloud Drive is the notable exception. But you usually have to turn this on. Apple is urging its users to switch to stronger passwords and to enable the two-step authentication

feature in the aftermath of the celebrity hacking attacks. Q: How can I tell if my phone or computer is uploading information to the cloud? A: You had to have signed up and agreed to the cloud services’ terms, but that might have happened long ago, as you were setting up your device. If you are not sure if you have opted in, check your phone’s settings. With iPhone photos, for instance, if you have Photo Stream turned on, that means you are storing your photos on iCloud. Check your settings under iCloud. On Android phones, check the Auto Backup settings under Google+ in Google settings. Q: Is my financial information at risk? A: Yes, if you use the same password for online banking that you do for other sites, and if you don’t have multi-factor identification on your banking website. But generally, financial information is among the most protected online. Information is encrypted, or scrambled, in transit. You can tell if a site does that if you see “https” rather than “http” before the website address. Q: Will my photos

and other information remain on the cloud even after I delete them? A: They should not. Settings vary for different cloud services, but most of them delete information from the cloud when you delete something from your phone or computer, at least once the device has had a chance to sync with the online service. You can check online, however. All the cloud storage providers have websites you can sign into to check out what information is being stored. “If you want that extra feeling of being safe, make sure it’s deleted online,” says technology analyst Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights & Strategy. Q: How do I opt out of cloud storage? A: Check your phone or computer settings if you don’t want your photos and documents stored online. There are other ways to store information, including using an external hard drive or your device’s own storage. “If you really want to be safe, keep confidential information off your service provider and back it up to an external hard drive the old-fashioned way,” Gartner analyst Avivah Litan says.

own well-being than that of its shareholders. One remaining obstacle may be that Dollar General’s offer doesn’t ensure a place for Family Dollar Chief Executive Officer Howard Levine at a combined company, Goyal said. As part of Dollar Tree’s deal to buy Family Dollar, Levine would continue running the chain his father founded and report to Dollar Tree CEO Bob Sasser.

Both Family Dollar and Dollar General offer a variety of food and consumer goods at multiple prices and cater to low- income shoppers. Dollar Tree, in contrast, attracts more middle- class consumers and sells most items at $1. Dollar General’s projection for $600 million in annual cost savings from the merger is twice what Dollar Tree estimated in its deal to buy Family Dollar.

IN OUR VIEW | AmeriCorps anniversary

To invigorate national service On Sept. 12, Washington state will mark the 20th anniversary of AmeriCorps at the Capitol Campus in Olympia (arrive before 11:00 am to snare a seat.) It’s a milestone for a program that breathes life into an American ideal, however much the full promise of national service remains elusive. National service is part of the Pacific Northwest’s cultural fabric. Generation after generation, service defines us. Eighty years ago, Camp Darrington, a project of FDR’s Civilian Conservation Corps, opened, enrolling thousands of unemployed, twentysomething men. From battling forest fires to building roads, CCC members cultivated a sense of community service and received a

modest stipend, room (or more accurately “tent”) and board. It’s a tangible legacy. The trickier parts of the Mountain Loop Highway between Granite Falls and Darrington were built by CCCers beginning in 1936. World War II and the GI Bill anchored that spirit of service. The national service model quickly fell together. The Peace Corps was followed by Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty and the establishment of VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America, a forerunner to AmeriCorps.) Northwesterners continued to stand out. Today the UW and Western Washington University are the country’s prime producers of Peace Corps volunteers, many trained in development-related

disciplines such as agriculture, botany and engineering. In 1970, Rep. Lloyd Meeds helped launch the Youth Conservation Corps, a summer environmental youth program with a CCC-style focus. Washington developed its own Conservation Corps, the WCC, in 1983, and the Washington Service Corps, both refined and launched by Bill Basl. Basl’s defining experience was as a VISTA in Walla Walla in the early 1970s. He currently runs AmeriCorps in D.C. The AmeriCorps experience benefits members themselves. A corporation study documents the path from volunteerism to employment. Volunteers have a 27 percent greater chance of landing a job than their

non-volunteer contemporaries. And volunteers in rural America have a 55 percent greater chance of finding employment. And there is service where the benefits are solely intrinsic. (Serving as a Reading Corps tutor or helping a low-income family with their income taxes.) AmeriCorps members have helped with the Oso recovery, just as they’re helping restore Everett’s Forest Park. They are as ubiquitous as they are unseen. It’s an asset that needs to be recapitalized. Washingtonians can celebrate next week’s AmeriCorps’ anniversary by elbowing their members of Congress to scale up program enrollment and make whole the promise of national service.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■ECONOMY

First, reduce size of government The minimum wage appears to be a hot issue now. There is another instrument called COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment.) Both of these instruments are used to help people cope with the higher cost of living. The reason these are used, is that the value of the dollar is less because our government spends more than it takes in, which is called deficit spending, To compensate for this, our government borrows or prints more money, thus reducing the value of your money. Our government and political leaders like doing this because it generates more tax revenue and helps pay off government debts with cheaper money. The real question is, are you better off? No, you are not, because the cost of goods and services will continue to rise and you will be paying higher taxes. What’s the answer? It’s very simple, just reduce the size of the federal government and spending, so we have a balanced budget. David Flaming Everett

■■UNITED STATES

Smoking ban an excellent idea I just read a survey saying that 92 percent of our citizens think the government should ban smoking. I have to tell you something, I am a smoker and I wish the government would ban it; it would make quitting so much easier. My father died from smoking and you would think that would have stopped me, but it didn’t. I am a heroin survivor. I have to say quitting the use of heroin was easier than quitting smoking. If it were illegal, I would not have access to it other than illegal measures and I wouldn’t go there. I would just accept it and quit! Our government is so hypocritical. The war on drugs is b.s. because the two most death- and diseasecausing drugs are as legal as bread and that proves their agenda. The tobacco coalition supports our country. Most governmental officials who live in the East and South have deep family ties to the growing and importing of tobacco. (Al Gore is the first to come to mind; his family got their millions growing tobacco.) It bothers me every time I hear someone

calling marijuana “a gateway drug.” My first “gateway” introduction to drug use was stealing my folks’ cigarettes and drinking their booze. I want this horrible, toxic, poisonous drug out of my country. I would be cranky for a little bit, but I would quit smoking. They keep making more and more substitute smoking devices and more drugs to help us stop when all they have to do is make it illegal, burn the tobacco fields and stop this hypocrisy and insanity. Yes, some tobacco growing families would be out of work but they could grow soy or corn and be right back in business. I am pleading with my government to help stop the death and disease of our citizens and ban smoking! Susan Martin Everett

Use your voice to make difference Regarding the Monday article, “Many ‘Days of Caring’ volunteer opportunities around the county”: Opportunities abound to make a difference on the Days of Caring. An opportunity for people not able to work physically on the projects mentioned is to use your voice to make a difference. Speaking or writing your elected officials can actually save lives. For example, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, is coming up for new funding that will help developing countries to create sustainable programs for vaccinating all children. With the global spread of disease, Gavi protects us all. Asking for an American contribution of $250 million over the next four years will help ensure Gavi is able to reach another 300 million children, saving over 5 million lives. More immediate with the start of school, is the question of kindergarteners being ready to begin. Calling for universal prekindergarten education will give all students a fair start. So join in the Days of Caring by exercising your rights as a citizen to advise our government to do things that really make a difference. Willie Dickerson Snohomish

■■OSO MUDSLIDE

Any similarities to slide in 1980s? Regarding the Oso mudslide: I’m surprised to not hear references to the 71 Fire Trail Road slide in the 1980s. The volume seemed to be larger than the Oso slide. (Refer to your archives.) The slide is located approximately 10 miles NNW of the Oso incident.

■■ STATE FAIRS

Pie competition has gotten flaky While reading the Sunday Herald, a story headlined “Purchased pie crust could void blue-ribbon” caught my attention, so I read the whole article. I attended the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe on Senior Citizens Day. I visited many of the commercial booths and displays. I especially wanted to see the pie and cake displays, since I have entered my pecan pie in state fairs in Florida, California, Kansas, and even won two blue ribbons there in Monroe (years ago). I was so disappointed to see that they only had pictures of the pies. And the pictures on display that were awarded ribbons, were awful looking. I would not even have served those to my family. I asked one of the ladies sitting there how they judged such pies. She said they would give so many points for the looks, for the crust and so many for what was inside of the pie, and the one with the most points won the ribbon. I would not have entered such an unappetizing looking pie in the first place, regardless of how it tasted. The article in the Herald was about a pie that was entered in the Kentucky State Fair with a store-bought crust, and a question arose about how it could be considered as a Blue Ribbon Pie. The judge said “About half of the judgment of the pie is on the crust” so if it is determined that she used a store-bought crust the win would be voided. The lady says he doesn’t plan to enter the pie contest next year. Iva Metz Bothell

Some ways to ease post-recession blues

“T

he mass of men,” wrote Henry David Thoreau, “lead lives of quiet desperation.” According to a recent survey published by Rutgers University, we’re more desperate and less quiet. Five years into the recovery, researchers say Americans are dispirited and pessimistic. The findings offer a grim assessment of the toll taken by the recession and its aftermath. They note a widespread perception that “the recession has brought about permanent changes to the economy and that many aspects of American life will never return to the way they were.” Report co-author Carl Van Horn says, “The slow, uneven, and painful recovery left Americans deeply pessimistic about the economy, their personal finances, and prospects for the next generation.” The extensive economic and psychological damage done by the recession is personal, not hypothetical. Two-thirds of those surveyed reported that the downturn affected their standard of living. The analysts conRICHARD S. DAVIS clude, “one in six Americans can be said to have been devastated by the Great Recession, reporting a major and permanent change in their lifestyle.” The workplace offers little relief. The Rutgers team summarizes the findings this way: “The typical American worker lives a precarious and doleful existence — unhappy, poorly paid and fearful about losing his or her job.” But they also report, “63 percent of workers say they are satisfied with their jobs.” There’s no question that the gloomy outlook accurately reflects some stark economic conditions. Labor force participation is down, long-term unemployment rates are high, and — according to a Brookings Institution report cited by Rutgers — it will take until early 2019 for the economy to recover fully. While the Rutgers researchers say “the American dream has taken a big hit,” 58 percent of Americans still “believe that people who want to get ahead can work hard and make it.” And despite the overall pessimistic portrait of America painted by the analysts, I think they overstate the despair. It’s not insignificant that this deep into the flawed recovery, majorities are satisfied with their jobs and believe hard work pays off. That’s a solid foundation on which to build. Let’s concede that things will not return to the way they were before the recession. Major disruptions inevitably result in fundamental transformation. In the midst of change, it’s often hard to recognize the opportunities ahead. Technological change has accelerated during and following the recession. In 2011 President Obama cited ATMs and airport kiosks as factors fueling unemployment. Critics rightly pointed out that new technologies increase productivity, create unforeseen employment opportunities and transform market economies. Still, as Mark P. Mills writes in Forbes magazine, “In the short term, the Luddites are right.” The period of creative destruction puts many workers and business owners out of work. And the work of the future continues to demand more training and education than the work it replaces. A Georgetown University study finds that some postsecondary education will be required for 65 percent of all jobs by 2020. That’s up from 28 percent in 1973. At the same time, demand for jobs requiring a high school diploma or less will continue to decline. While the Rutgers survey found that 44 percent of Americans believe there is a “mismatch between jobs and skills where workers will have to take jobs below their skill level,” employers identify a different skills gap. The Boston Consulting Group predicts a shortage of qualified workers will lead to 50,000 unfilled jobs in our state in 2017 because employers will be unable to recruit workers possessing the necessary skills, primarily in science, technology, engineering and math. More and better education for students and displaced workers is necessary to ease the transition to the post-recession economy. Government clearly has a role to play in assuring better educational outcomes. The future must also see an entrepreneurial renaissance, made possible by the ubiquity of new technology. Government can help by removing or reducing regulatory and tax barriers to business formation. In the sentence following his famous “quiet desperation” assertion, Thoreau wrote, “What is called resignation is confirmed desperation.” There’s no going back. There shouldn’t be. But Americans should never be resigned to a future devoid of opportunity, creative discontent and dynamic entrepreneurialism. Richard S. Davis is president of the Washington Research Council.

Guilty: Proceeds funded lavish lifestyle, plastic surgery From Page A1

surrounded by television cameras, Panico shook hands with Everett police investigators. She declined to speak with reporters. Detectives say that before Panico went into the coffee business, she was connected to Talents West, a company owned by Frank Colacurcio and his son. The Colacurcios ran multiple strip clubs, including Honey’s in Lynnwood. The Colacurcios were forced to shut down their nightclubs as part of federal organizedcrime prosecution. Court papers say FBI agents agreed to help with the investigation into Panico’s stands because of her

past. Panico, a college graduate, opened Java Juggs in 2008 and operated as many as eight stands, mainly along Highway 99. She preferred to hire women with previous “dancer” or “escort” experience. Her stand in Edmonds included a “stripper pole.” Baristas were expected to make a certain amount of money during their shifts. They kept what was left over. The women engaged in sex shows and prostitution to earn bigger tips. Baristas told investigators that Panico knew about the illegal activity and at times encouraged it. She discouraged her employees from calling

police to report customers who engaged in lewd behavior. She said the “customers paid more to be allowed to do this and that it was allowed at her stands,” Hendrix wrote in court documents. Some of the baristas reported earning hundreds of thousands of dollars. One baristas told detectives she made $500,000 working for Panico. Investigators dug deep into Panico’s finances. They learned that she had deposited more than $2 million in her bank accounts over a period of about three years. She purchased multiple espresso stands, often with cash. Detectives alleged that

Panico used proceeds from criminal activity to finance a “lavish lifestyle” that included expensive hobbies, including horses and boats. She also paid for several plastic surgeries, court papers said. Investigators say the profit margin at the Java Juggs stands at times was twice that of well-run, established coffee huts. Panico was arrested in the past for lewd conduct at her Edmonds stand. Her businesses came under scrutiny again when Kent police launched an investigation into sexually explicit shows at her Twin Peaks stand there. It was during that investigation that police were told

about a “dirty cop.” Everett police began investigating O’Neill’s alleged involvement and the nature of Panico’s businesses. Both were arrested last year after raids at the stands. Since then, Panico has sold off a couple of coffee huts and leased others. She sold her Snohomish home in February. The city of Everett is expected to give Panico a month’s notice when they plan to take possession of the stands. Panico agreed to “terminate all leases or other entanglements” and prepare the huts to be seized. The city hasn’t finalized what will happen to the stands.

“We are currently exploring our available options, and will likely sell the stands, but not for operation at their current location,” city spokeswoman Meghan Pembroke said. “Under no circumstances will the city go into the coffee business at these locations, either as operators or landlords.” Everett leaders also are developing new legislation to address some of the associated crimes that have turned up at bikini coffee stands such as Panico’s, she said.

God for children and their teachers, and the years the Ruthven boys had with their family and friends. He asked that the playground be blessed as a place of happiness and fun and he offered gratitude for those who had turned grief into acts of generosity that will benefit children for years to come. Sauer and Catholic Church congregations in Arlington and Darrington have taken lead roles in helping families who lost people to the slide. After Tuesday’s ceremony, he reflected on how for many months, the community has “been engulfed in death.” He watched the children play. It is good to see the energy of life again, he said.

Ruthven. Forever in our hearts. 3-22-14.” Students have struggled to understand what happened to the boys, school

1119759

The idea for the memorial playground came during a talk over coffee one day a few months back, she said. It captivated many who knew the active Ruthven boys, including their grandfather, Tom Pszonka, a retired Snohomish County sheriff’s sergeant. Education was important to the Pszonkas’ daughter, Katie Ruthven, and her husband, Shane, the crowd was told Tuesday. Working with the teachers and others at the school to make the memorial happen has been a blessing, Tom Pszonka said. “Our hearts go out to them. I appreciate them,” he said. Visitors on Tuesday were told how the Ruthven boys

owner and director Kathy Ruesken said. “They were both very loving,” she said. “They were the kind of kids everyone wanted to play with.” Money for the memorial playground was raised through donations. A total of $12,943 in costs were covered using funds gathered for Oso slide relief by United Way of Snohomish County. In addition, United Way has earmarked $5,000 for a scholarship in Katie Ruthven’s memory at the University of Washington. It will go to students from Mill Creek and Arlington, where she grew up and became a mom running a business with her husband. At the dedication ceremony Tuesday, the Rev. Tim Sauer of Immaculate Conception Church in Arlington asked adults to place their hands atop the heads of young people in attendance. He thanked

BE IT ORDAINED: Section 1. The County Council makes the following findings of fact: an emergency appropriation in the amount of $17,464,137 is necessary in the Solid Waste Fund 402 for the 2014 budget year to provide expenditure authority for higher than anticipated waste export costs associated with increased reclamation facility code compliance and unanticipated debris removal costs associated with the State Route 530 landslide. Section 2. The appropriation unit and allocation detail follows: 402 Solid Waste Fund EXPENDITURE: 5067064722 Waste Export $3,587,733 506706561011 Salaries $300,000 506706563101 Supplies $20,000 506706564101 Services $12,636,404 506706564501 Rentals $20,000 506706569101 Interfund Services $900,000 Total Emergency Appropriation Fund 402: $17,464,137 402 Solid Waste Fund REVENUE: 3064010800 Beginning Fund Balance $13,876,404 3064014389 Construction Debris Fees $2,928,503 3064014372 Franchise Collections $659,230 Total Revenue: $17,464,137 Section 3.

The need for this appropriation was not known, and could not have been determined, prior to the adoption of the 2014 budget. The Council therefore finds that the need for the appropriation authorized by this ordinance constitutes a public emergency that could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time of budget approval and appropriation for the year 2014 and hereby authorizes the appropriation.

M’s survive Rodney roller coaster Seattle gives Paxton a 6-0 lead then withstands Oakland’s late rally to win 6-5 By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

OAKLAND, Calif. — This is what Seattle Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon had in mind when, a few weeks back, he likened a finally-healthy James Paxton to a major trade-deadline acquisition.

TODAY’S GAME

Seattle at Oakland, 12:35 p.m.

TV: Root (cable) Radio: ESPN (710 AM)

Paxton overmatched the Oakland A’s over seven innings Tuesday night in a 6-5 victory at the O.co Coliseum. Things got interesting in the eighth and ninth before the bullpen closed out the victory. The Mariners backed Paxton by scoring twice in the third, fourth

and fifth innings: Austin Jackson had a two-run single; Endy Chavez had a two-run hustle double; and Kyle Seager hit a two-run homer. All of it came against Oakland starter Sonny Gray, who entered the game at 4-0 with a 1.10 earned run average in five previous career starts against the Mariners. Gray (13-8) exited after giving up those six runs in five innings. Six runs seemed plenty as Paxton (5-1) carried a three-hit shutout into the eighth before the A’s stirred to life. Derek Norris led off with a single, and Nate Freiman followed with a walk. See M’S, Page C6

Silvertips add four players By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

EVERETT — The Everett Silvertips confirmed Tuesday the signing of four players over the weekend to Western Hockey League education contracts. Goaltender Mario Petit, defenseman Tristen Pfeifer, and wingers Nik Malenica and Gunnar Wegleitner signed with the Tips, committing their futures to the team. All four appeared in games during last weekend’s Holiday Inn Preseason Classic at Comcast Arena, suggesting they had signed with the Silvertips — players are not eligible to play in preseason games without signing. Everett general manager Garry Davidson confirmed the signings Tuesday. All four players were passed over in their respective bantam drafts and were later added to Everett’s 50-player protected list. Petit, a 17-year-old from Ile des Chenes, Manitoba, spent last season with the Eastman Selects of the Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League. In 27 games, he had a 2.66 goals against average and .910 save percentage. “We felt Mario Petit needed a chance to prove himself in a game, so we put him on a contract, and subsequently he did very well for himself this weekend,” Davidson said. “So we have four more exhibition games to work through our goaltending, with four guys here.” Pfeifer, an 18-year-old from Phoenix, played last season for the Phoenix Jr. Coyotes of the Tier 1 Elite League. The lanky 6-foot-4 defender had nine goals and six assists in 31 games there. “I saw him prior to camp and felt positive he could come in here and compete,” Davidson said. “He immediately did that and caught the eye of not only our coaching staff but all the other scouts. It made all the sense in the world to get him on a contract and I think he’ll be a nice addition to our back end.” Malenica, who is from Nanaimo, B.C., and turns 17 in October, spent last season with the North Island Silvertips of the B.C. Major Midget League. In 39 games, the hulking 6-foot-5 forward had five goals, 15 assists and 66 penalty minutes. Wegleitner, a 16-year-old from Vancouver, B.C., attended training camp as an invitee and earned a spot on Everett’s protected list. Last season with the Greater Vancouver Canadians of the B.C. Major Midget League, he had seven goals and five assists in 40 games. “They both showed us enough

Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch sits on the sideline during the second half of the Seahawks’ loss to the Oakland Raiders on Aug. 28. Lynch spoke to reporters Tuesday after practice, giving very brief answers to football-related questions, but opening up when the discussion turned to his Bay Area-based charity.

Lynch mostly in ‘Brief Mode’ Seahawks running back doesn’t have much to say about football, but talks up his charity in ‘press conference’ By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

RENTON — Rich Gang’s “Lifestyle” was boomin’ over Marshawn Lynch’s personal sound system. The Seattle Seahawks’ star running back who has had as many 1,000-yard seasons in the NFL as he’s had media interviews in the last 12 months — that would be five — sat at his locker no more than a foot away from his speakers following Tuesday’s practice for Thursday’s NFL opener against Green Bay. He picked through a huge drawer of worn turf shoes, high-tops and cleats he said he was about to donate. And he spoke. Well, for two minutes of questions about football he barely talked — 40 words in nine questions. He mostly stared or sorted all those shoes as the R-rated lyrics boomed on. How’s the offense looked this summer? “Explosive.” Do you think the offense will be more explosive and throw the ball more — read: run it less — this season? “I guess we’ll find out.” What are your personal goals for this

Power Rankings The Seattle Seahawks are still on top. Soon, they’ll have to start proving it again. After finishing training camp with no major setbacks, the defending Super Bowl champions predictably stayed in first place in the latest power rankings from the Associated Press. “There’s not much doubt anywhere on this roster. Plus, Russell Wilson will keep growing with this offense, which means the best team in the league last season may be even better,” Sports Illustrated’s Jenny Vrentas said. The Seahawks will be tested right away, hosting the NFL regular-season opener Thursday against Green Bay. The Packers ranked fourth. “Aaron Rodgers looks ready for an MVP season. Now if Dom Capers’ defense can show some improvement, there could be another Lombardi Trophy in Green Bay,” Newsday’s Bob Glauber said. The Associated Press Pro32 NFL Power Rankings are voted on by a 12-member panel. First-place votes are in parentheses, records are through Sept. 2, total points are based on 32 points for a first-place vote through one point for a 32nd-place vote.

season? “To have fun.” When Dave Mahler of Seattle’s KJR radio asked Lynch if he and the Seahawks were in a good place about his contract following the running back’s short holdout at the start of training camp, one that netted him an additional $1.5 million in re-worked cash on top of his $5 million pay for 2014, Lynch said nothing. He looked up from those shoes. And he stared at the questioner coldly for five seconds. One of the few football-related answers was on his relationship on the field with quarterback Russell Wilson: “We’ve just continued to grow.” After that, he was asked about his FAM 1st Family Foundation, which he began back in his hometown of Oakland, Calif., with 49ers backup quarterback Joshua Johnson in March 2011. On that subject, the reclusive running back was a relative orator. He spoke for more than five minutes on what the foundation means to him, the experiences he’s had with it and how if he wasn’t a Super Bowl-champion running back he’d probably be back in Oakland trying to help his city’s youth full time.

SEATTLE — It’s only Tuesday, and already the Washington Huskies defensive coaches are running out of stellar quarterbacks to reference in comparison to Vernon Adams. Did you watch football in the 1970s? OK. Adams is Fran Tarkenton. More of a modern-day fan? Fine. He’s Johnny Manziel. “I called him ‘Vernon Football’ the other day,” Huskies defensive line coach Jeff Choate said. Want to keep it hyper-local? Great. Cue the Seahawks film. “He’s going to be a Russell Wilson-type guy that’s going to run around and keep plays alive, and if he sees guys downfield, he’s going to throw darts,” said UW defensive backs coach Jimmy Lake, “and if everyone’s covered up, he’s going to try to run for 10 and run for a first down.” To be sure, Adams, the junior quarterback who leads Eastern Washington into a noon game Saturday against UW at Husky Stadium, has done plenty during his college career to inspire superlatives. He’s a 6-foot, 190-pound headache for opposing defensive coordinators, equally adept with his arm (4,994 yards passing in 2013 with 55 touchdowns, both Big Sky records) as he is with his legs (605 yards rushing last season). Adams finished second last season in the voting for the Walter Payton Award, given annually to the top player in the Football Championship Subdivision. He was a first-team All-American, according to several outlets who vote on such honors, and a unanimous firstteam All-Big Sky selection en route to that conference’s Offensive Player of the Year award. So it is with mounting evidence that Choate says: “I think Vernon Adams is as good of a player as there is at any level in the country.” Which makes it all the more puzzling that his only two

MICHAEL ALBANS / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Eastern Washington quarterback Vernon Adams (3) threw for 4,994 yards and 55 touchdowns last season, both Big Sky records.

scholarship offers out of Alemany High School in Pasadena, California, were from EWU and Portland State. “Everybody was saying I was too short, too small,” Adams said Tuesday during a phone interview, and the Russell Wilson comparison is starting to make even more sense. Doubts about his size motivated him, Adams said, but only briefly. “Now, it doesn’t really matter,” he said. “I love where I’m at right now, and I love the way I’m with these athletes that are over here, and we’re doing good things over here.”

The Eagles (2-0 and ranked No. 2 in the FCS coaches poll), national champions in 2010 and near-annual participants in the FCS playoffs under seventhyear coach Beau Baldwin, are not a standard lower-division outfit. Three years ago, they outgained the Huskies 504-250, losing 30-27 only after Desmond Trufant intercepted a Bo Levi Mitchell pass in the end zone on EWU’s final possession. Two years ago, the Eagles visited Pullman and lost 24-20 to Washington State, a Hail Mary pass falling incomplete on the final play. And last season, EWU stunned Oregon State at Reser

Stadium, winning 49-46 in its season opener. It’s the Eagles’ offense that is likely of most concern to the Huskies. Baldwin employs a spread passing attack, though senior running back Quincy Forte — questionable for Saturday with a knee injury — also rushed for 1,208 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. Through its first two games (against Sam Houston State and Montana Western), EWU has averaged 603.5 yards and scored 97 points. Cooper Kupp, a sophomore receiver from Yakima (he’s also questionable for Saturday with an ankle problem), was Adams’ main target a year ago, catching 93 passes for 1,691 yards and 21 touchdowns as a freshman. He, too, looks at his quarterback and sees greatness. “It’s unbelievable,” Kupp said. “He makes our job as receivers very easy. His command of the offense, being able to see defenses, read coverages, see fronts, pick up blitzes, check plays. Once a play starts, I don’t know if there’s anyone better in the country at making plays and extending plays the way that he does.” Believe the Huskies have noticed. And noticed. And noticed. “He’s able to identify man (coverage), see safety rotation, change the protections,” Choate said. “That’s some second-level stuff in terms of what they’re asking him to do, and he does a really good job of getting them in the right play, and when things break down, he’s got the ability to make it right, too.” All of which presents quite the challenge for a Huskies secondary featuring three first-year starters, a group still figuring things out after an up-and-down performance during UW’s 17-16 victory at Hawaii last week. “(If) we’re in a certain coverage and they don’t like it, he’s going to check it and get them in a different play,” defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski said. “So we’ve got to be on our A-game, for sure.”

Sounders set to face punchless Chivas USA Seattle at Chivas USA, 7:30 p.m. TV: JOEtv Radio: KIRO (97.3 FM)

“I really don’t know what their mentality is,” Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei said. “It can go either way: They’re very frustrated or they’re very motivated. I think we have to focus more on ourselves: make sure that we’re organized defensively, limit their chances and I’m sure our quality will come to the top.” Sounders coach Sigi Schmid cautions that there is quality on the Chivas side, too. “Even when they’re struggling, they’re still professional players,” he said Tuesday before the Sounders flew to Southern California. “When you’ve got guys like Felix Borja, who’s played a lot of year in some of the top European

Leagues; you’ve got a guy like (Nigel) Rio-Coker, who spent a lot of years in the Premiership; (former Sounder) Jhon Kennedy Hurtado, we know what he’s capable of; and (Dan) Kennedy, their goalkeeper. There’s still a lot of quality there. For some reason it hasn’t come together, hasn’t resulted in wins.” One name missing from Schmid’s list is forward Erick Torres, who has 14 of Chivas’ league-low 21 goals this season. He also leads the Goats in shots (78) and shots on target (27). Torres will miss this match while on duty with the Mexican national team. Also absent is assists leader Mauro Rosales, who was traded to Vancouver.

There are openings along the back line, too, as captain and center back Carlos Bocanegra hasn’t yet been cleared after suffering a concussion July 20 against D.C. United. Also unavailable is center back Eriq Zavaleta, who is on loan from Seattle under terms that prevent him from playing against the Sounders. With all that working against the Goats, Schmid would like to quickly challenge any belief that September will start better for them. “If we can get up a goal or two, then some of the bad memories will come up for them,” he said. “But that’s work. You saw in their (3-0 loss to the Los Angeles Galaxy), for 42 minutes it was pretty much an even game: 41 minutes until (Gyasi) Zardes got the goal, and then their will broke a little bit.”

Seattle will be without midfielder Marco Pappa, who is away with the Guatemala national team at the Central American Cup. Otherwise, the Sounders seem in good health with most key players available. They also go into the match on a three-game unbeaten run and with Frei coming off his careerhigh and league-leading eighth shutout Saturday against Colorado. “I think we take pride in it as a defensive unit,” he said. “At the beginning of the season we were leaking some questionable goals, but we were lucky to have that offensive power to compensate for it. Now if we can clean those mistakes up, which we’ve been doing I think, it takes a bit of pressure off our guys to not have to score four goals every game. But if they want to, they can keep doing that.”

TUKWILA — Seldom has a team been happier to flip the calendar from August to September than Chivas USA. Last month, the Goats

TONIGHT’S MATCH

1120757

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

went 0-4-1 without scoring a goal. The winless and scoreless runs actually date to July. In all, it has been 546 minutes — more than six games — since their last goal. That’s the longest dry streak in Major League Soccer this season, and the fourth-longest in league history. Next up are the Seattle Sounders, the league leaders who are streaking the other way heading into their Wednesday visit to Chivas USA.

The Goats have failed to score a goal in their past 546 minutes and over 6 games of play.

Glacier Peak kicker is one of the best in the business By Aaron Lommers

Coaches poll

Herald Writer

Spencer Pettit is considered one of the best high school kickers in the country. The Glacier Peak senior is ranked eighth nationally by Chris Sailer, a well-respected kicking coach. Yet, unlike athletes at more prominent positions, being ranked No. 8 in the nation hasn’t led to a flood of recruiters making their way to Pettit’s door. In fact, just days from the start of his final season, Pettit is still awaiting an offer to kick in college. “Kicking is a different ball game,” Glacier Peak coach Rory Rosenbach said. “Sometimes it’s right place and right time where (a college) sees you and you get an opportunity. It’s who needs what.” When NCAA Division 1 schools hand out scholarships, kickers are near the end of the line. “We’re the last guys on the list,” Pettit said, “us and long-snappers.” Pettit said he expects offers to come “later in the fall,” after schools determine which offensive and defensive players they’re going to get. “Fifteen guys in my age (group) have probably been offered so far,” Pettit said. “The number one guy in my grade hasn’t even been offered.” While Pettit hasn’t received a formal scholarship offer, he’s been in contact with several schools. Washington, Penn State, California, Nevada, Boise State and WSU have all spoken with him. Pettit said Boise State and Nevada are two of his favorites and he hopes to visit each school soon. Another major difference in the recruiting

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

Glacier Peak’s Spencer Pettit kicked field goals of 52 and 53 yards last season.

process of a kicker is how much of the initiative falls on the athlete. In many cases, the kickers are contacting college coaches to gauge their need at the position as opposed to the coaches contacting the athletes as happens with more high-profile offensive and defensive players. And often times, college coaches aren’t all that interested in what Rosenbach has to say. “A lot of those guys, they really aren’t even going to ask me about (Pettit),” Rosenbach said. “I’ll say, ‘I have a kicker.’ And they’ll say, who’s he kick with?’ I say Chris Sailer, and they say, ‘OK, I’ll call him.’ “I don’t take offense to that. What can I tell them, he kicks it really far and he’s really accurate? I can’t tell them everything they

want to know, whereas when I’m talking about a defensive lineman, I can give football specific things.” In practice, Rosenbach instructs Pettit on what aspects of the kicking game to work on and makes sure he doesn’t overexert himself, but admits he doesn’t do much else. “I don’t coach him,” he said. “What am I going to say?” Pettit converted 11 of his 15 field goals in 2013, with two of his misses coming from 48 yards and another from 51. Of his 11 made kicks, one came from 52 yards and another from 53. On point-after-touchdown attempts, Pettit’s only miss was a blocked kick against Shorewood. “I don’t worry about him,” Rosenbach said. “There was never one time last year where I didn’t kick a field goal because I thought he would miss it. If I didn’t kick a field goal, it’s because I was like, ‘We’re getting a first down or we’re getting a touchdown right here.’” Rosenbach is known among his coaching peers for his aggressive play calling, and

even with a kicker as talented as Pettit, it’s sometimes difficult for Rosenbach to go against his instincts. Inside the opponent’s 20-yard line, Rosenbach often elects to go for it on fourth down. In a close game, however, he has learned to turn to Pettit in some of those situations, knowing it’s an almost automatic three points. “It is kind of weird because I have to go against my nature,” Rosenbach said. “But really, in high school who has that luxury? Usually at the 30-yard line you don’t think to kick the ball, you’re going for it because you’re not in (field-goal) range yet.” When the Grizzlies do get into the end zone, it’s not a given Pettit will kick the PAT. Rosenbach likes to get creative in those situations, too. “He loves when we go for two on PATs because he gets to do something fun usually,” Rosenbach said. “He’s cool with that because he gets to throw the ball or be an option quarterback or do something fun like that.” Pettit’s longest field goal in practice is from 62 yards and Rosenbach said he wouldn’t shy away from giving him a chance from that distance in a game if the right opportunity presents itself. Whenever Pettit’s opportunity to kick in college comes, Rosenbach has no doubt he’ll be ready. “Spencer is the type of kid with the type of personality and the type of competitive drive that I could see him being an elite college kicker,” Rosenbach said. “I could see him playing on Sundays (in the NFL), which is a big thing to say, but he just has that mentality, which is why he’s such a good kicker.”

Despite a future on defense, Joyner still an offensive threat By David Krueger Herald Writer

Austin Joyner has decided this will be his last year as a running back. The Marysville Pilchuck star, who rushed for 1,511 yards and 21 touchdowns on just 100 carries last season, was a first-team all-area selection at running back and a standout defensive back the past two seasons. Joyner will play the latter when he continues his football career at Washington State University. “It came down to career-wise, you have a much longer career at corner than you do at running back,” Joyner said. “I want to be healthy and be able to walk and hang out with my kids when I’m older.” However, the Tomahawks’ senior doesn’t plan on being a fulltime defender just yet. Joyner said he will continue to be a force on offense for Marysville Pilchuck this season. “I’m still going full throttle both ways,” he said. “This will probably be the toughest year because I’m going to have to play both ways a ton. But I’m not backing off at all on offense.” Marysville Pilchuck is known for its strong running attack, which this year features Joyner, Killian Page, Hunter Trueax and JJ Valencia. The group will try to lead the Tomahawks to their third consecutive Wesco 3A title.

“(Joyner) has got some good guys around him,” Marysville Pilchuck High School coach Brandon Carson said. Still, the Tomahawks are going to use their star athlete as much as possible. “We’re still going to get him the ball as much as we can,” Carson said. “We’ll probably do a couple of different things with him defensively, but it sure is nice having him. Nothing will be different. We’ll keep trying to get him the ball.” Said Joyner: “I’m going to do whatever is needed here to help us win games. I just want to be a

better all-around player, defensively and offensively, this year. But I want to practice and get better at defense since that’s what I’ll play in college.” Marysville Pilchuck has reached the state playoffs for two consecutive seasons. In order to make

it three, the Tomahawks must replace several key people from last year’s squad, including quarterback Jake Luton, now at the University of Idaho. However, Marysville Pilchuck does return a few key members of its line, including junior Corbin

Ferry, and the Tomahawks are known for creating All-Wesco linemen seemingly at will. “We have a really good offensive-line coach in coach (Scott) Stokes and he turns (inexperienced players) into someone who can come out there and block anybody,” Joyner said. “We have really good coaching, so I’m not too worried about the line. Every year it seems like it’s going to be a struggle on the line but he comes out and whips them in the shape and we’re golden. It’s like they come out of nowhere.” Joyner added that his senior year “is probably the most excited I’ve ever been to start” the season. “It’s crazy how fast it all happened,” he said. “I remember when I was a freshman, just moving up to play varsity. And now it’s my last year, it’s crazy how fast time flies by. It’s been a great experience so far. I’m excited to finish this experience up and start a new one.”

Word from the coach: “We have playoff expectations here, which I’m sure a lot of teams do. But it’s how you go about your business getting there. We’ve got some talented guys, but you can’t just show up on Friday nights and expect to win. ... You’ve got to prepare to be successful. So we’re preparing the best we can to be ready for game No. 1.”

Word from the coach: “We feel good. We have to go out and play and compete and see what results we get on Friday nights. But we have good experience back, we only graduated 13 or 14 seniors last year, and we’ve got about 25 in this class. So we’ll be a more experienced group this year. I really liked how we competed last year and we’re continuing in that vein.”

Word from the coach: “We’re always a little thin on the (offensive and defensive) lines, we never have a ton of big guys. But the ones we’ve got are pretty good this year. We feel pretty good. We’ve got a lot of work to do still but we’re excited about our potential.”

Word from the coach: “We’re not OK with the last few years and the way they’ve gone. These kids have bought into that. They know the last couple of years are not where we want to be. Coaches and players have taken it upon ourselves to change things and not go down that path again. We’re committed to making sure that’s not going to happen again.”

Word from the coach: “We’re very young. We have 34 sophomores. But they’re good sophomores. … Because we’re so young, for us to be successful our kids are going to have to have a crash course in varsity football. We’re playing so many kids who played freshman football last year. They’re talented enough. They’re up to the challenge.”

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

OAKLAND, Calif. — The Seattle Mariners, as expected, recalled pitchers James Paxton and Erasmo Ramirez from Triple-A Tacoma prior to Tuesday’s game. Paxton immediately reclaimed his spot in the rotation and started Tuesday’s game against the A’s at the O.co Coliseum. Ramirez will pitch as a long reliever over the season’s closing weeks. The Mariners had to wait for Tacoma’s season to end before they could recall Paxton and Ramirez because neither had served the minimum 10 days in the minors after being optioned to the Rainiers.

Miller surging Infielder Brad Miller drew a third straight start Tuesday largely because he shows signs of putting together an encouraging close to what has been a disappointing season. Miller is batting .318 in limited action (7-for-18) in 12 games since Aug. 11. The mini-surge has him back on the north side of the Mendoza Line at .207 entering Tuesday’s game against the A’s. The turnaround followed a 6-for-43 plunge over 16 games from July 7 to Aug. 7, which helped turn rookie Chris Taylor into the club’s starting shortstop. Miller hit his ninth home run of the season in Monday’s loss, which means he needs just one more to become the fourth shortstop in franchise history to reach double figures. Alex Rodriguez did it five times. Rey Quinones did it twice, and Todd Cruz did it once.

Updated odds The Mariners improved their odds of winning the World Series over the last month, according to Bovada, an online gaming service. The Mariners are now a 25-1 shot after being rated at 33-1 on Aug. 1. Bovada installs the Los Angeles Angels as the favorite at 5-1, followed by the Los Angeles Dodgers (11-2), Washington Nationals (7-1) and Baltimore Orioles and Oakland A’s (each at 8-1).

The Mariners’ Taijuan Walker pitched six inning against the A’s on Monday, allowing one run.

Walker could replace Young in M’s rotation By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

OAKLAND, Calif. — Put an asterisk next to Chris Young’s name in listing the next cycle through the Seattle Mariners’ rotation. Manager Lloyd McClendon declined to commit to Young as a starter for Saturday’s game at Texas after a second straight poor outing in Monday’s 6-1 loss to Oakland. The concern is that Young, after 151 innings in a careerresurrection season, might be hitting a wall just as the Mariners are mounting a push to try to end a 12-year postseason drought. “He threw seven starts in the minor leagues last year,” McClendon said. “He’s in uncharted territory. I’ve got to watch him. I’ve got to evaluate him. I’ve got to make a decision.” If Young is deemed to be a poor risk, McClendon acknowledged right-hander Taijuan Walker as a likely replacement. Walker limited the A’s to one run in six innings Monday in mop-up duty behind Young. Walker’s performance came on the day he was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma and after he got a “show me” challenge from McClendon. “Obviously, he pitched extremely well,” McClendon said. “I think it showed you what he’s capable of. We’ve just got to get him to the point where he can be consistent every time out with that.” Young has provided the Mariners with an unexpected boost

M’s

From Page C1

Geovany Soto’s doubleplay grounder gave Paxton a chance to get out of the inning, but another walk prompted McClendon to go to the bullpen for Yoervis Medina with runners at first and third. That didn’t go well at all. The A’s countered by sending up just-acquired Adam Dunn, who lined an RBI single into right field. A wild pitch moved the runners to second and third before Craig Gentry rocked a drive over the head of left fielder Dustin Ackley. The ball hopped the wall for a two-run double, and a six-run lead was down to 6-3. Medina finally ended the inning by striking out Jed Lowrie. Fernando Rodney gave up two runs in the ninth and had the tying run at second base before gaining his 40th save. The victory enabled the Mariners (74-63) to remain

this season by going 12-7 with a 3.46 ERA, but he’s 35 and hasn’t pitched more than 115 innings since 2007 because of shoulder issues. Further, his last two starts have been his worst: a combined eight runs, 11 hits and seven walks over 41⁄3 innings. “Every pitcher goes through a period during the season,” Young said, “when they don’t throw the ball as well (as usual). Mine is right now. I’m going to get through it, keep working, and I’m going to finish strong.” He passed that message to McClendon when the two talked after Monday’s game. McClendon remains unconvinced. “What concerns me is command because he’s not a power guy,” McClendon said. “When he starts to lose command, I’m a little concerned about it. “He assured me that he felt healthy, and I assured him that I would do what I thought was best for this club. I’m going to evaluate in the next day or two, and make a decision.” Those evaluations will come through Young’s regular between-starts bullpen workout and other on-field activities. “If I deem him 100 percent healthy,” McClendon said, “he’ll start.” If not, it figures to be Walker. Walker acknowledged he needs to” step up” in response to McClendon’s tough-love approach. “My three (previous) outings in the big leagues weren’t very good,” he said. “But my last four down in Triple-A were very good, and I’ve been throwing

11⁄2 games behind Detroit in the chase for the American League’s final wild-card berth. Two runs in the eighth were charged to Paxton and blemished an otherwise superb 92-pitch effort. It also meant his ERA climbed Tuesday from 1.83 to 1.91. Paxton opened the season with two victories over the Angels before a strained back muscle and some shoulder irritation put him on the shelf for nearly four months before he returned in early August. In effect, his return provided the Mariners with a fresh power arm for their stretch run. The Mariners opened the scoring when Chavez and Brad Miller started the third with walks. They moved to second and third on Jesus Sucre’s sacrifice and scored on Jackson’s single up the middle. Paxton retired the first six hitters he faced but started the third by walking Soto after jumping ahead 0-2 in the count. Reddick followed with a double-play grounder to second. The Mariners extended their

the ball well.” Walker, at 22, remains the most-heralded prospect in the Mariners’ organization because of his high-octane potential. But he’s closing out a tough year that began when shoulder soreness surfaced in spring training. After three months of stopand-start lurching through rehab, Walker returned to make three big-league starts wrapped roughly around the All-Star break. His overall numbers weren’t terrible — six runs in 15 innings — but his command issues (13 walks) convinced the Mariners that a remedial tour in the minors was necessary. Walker struggled through his first two starts at Tacoma before sharpening his game: He worked at least six innings in his last four starts while allowing 10 runs in 25 innings. “I just kept everything simple,” he said. “Something just clicked, and it’s just kind of been right. I’ve just been keeping everything the same.” More important, perhaps, Walker showed renewed power and better command in those four starts: 35 strikeouts and eight walks, which earned him a September recall to the big leagues. That recall came accompanied by McClendon’s pointed challenge. A day later, McClendon reinforced his demand. “I don’t expect him to act like a 22-year-old,” he said. “I expect him to act like a 30-year-old. I expect him to perform like a veteran. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”

lead to 4-0 in the fourth. Kendrys Morales punched a one-out single through the shift and rumbled to third when Logan Morrison plugged the left-center gap for a double. The A’s shortened their infield, and Chavez beat the strategy with a grounder up the middle. Both runners scored and, when the A’s failed to cover second, Chavez kept running for a double. The chance for another run slipped away when Gray retired Miller and Sucre on grounders to second. Oakland got its first hit when Gentry led off the fourth by grounding a single through the left side. But Sucre erased Gentry with a terrific throw for a caught-stealing. The Mariners made it 6-0 in the fifth. Cano pulled a two-out single through the right side, and Kyle Seager followed by rocking a 1-0 fastball for a no-doubt homer to right field. It boosted Seager’s club-leading total to 21 homers and 84 RBI. His career highs are 22 and 86.

Lynch

SEAHAWKS | Notebook

From Page C1

He said working with one particular kid at his annual football camp at his alma mater of Oakland Tech High School this July “touched me deeply.” Lynch and Johnson both graduated from Oakland Tech, which is in a gentrifying section of north Oakland. It’s about three miles south of where Lynch played collegiately, at the University of California, Berkeley. “It gives inner-city youth an opportunity,” Lynch said of his FAM 1st Family Foundation. It was, of course, a self-serving topic. But it’s a side of the 28-year-old Lynch few hear about or see. And it was the only subject he seemed even remotely interested in discussing on his first public comments since three days before February’s Super Bowl. Lynch was asked for an example of how he’s helped kids in the East Bay Area through his foundation and the annual football camp he and Johnson put on at Oakland Tech each July. This last one was their eighth camp. “Well, just this year I had a kid …” he began. Then Lynch jumped into rapping a line along with the song that was blaring into him and the five or so reporters surrounding his locker. He rhymed for about five seconds — and then, presto, he went right back into his answer. “… I had a kid that came to my camp that told me that he was committing suicide by coming to my camp, because of the area (north Oakland) that it was in,” Lynch continued. “And by him coming, he felt like he was putting his life in danger. But he said he wouldn’t miss the opportunity to come out there and be a part of it. “So, I mean, even with kids that feel like this might be a life-threatening situation — but to be out there and experience that they wouldn’t turn that down for nothin’, I mean, that’s a big accomplishment. And I mean, you know, being able to talk to that young man and being able to help him through his situation was big for me. “I don’t think that’s something that you go around boasting or bragging about, but that touched me dearly.” For Lynch, it had to be his most expansive he’s ever been in an interview during his NFL career. For him, compared to his usual verbal output, it was like a Gettysburg Address. Lynch said he stays in touch with the kids that come to his camp, that many have gone on to get Division-I football scholarships and that he texts with them often. “I don’t think they look at me as a lifechanger. I think they look at me more like a family member,” Lynch said of the inner-city youth in his foundation and his hometown. “This is something that’s just on the regular.”

Irvin practices for third straight day By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

RENTON — Seattle Seahawks pass-rush linebacker Bruce Irvin practiced for the third consecutive day on Tuesday, his first days back since offseason hip surgery. He said Tuesday he tore the labrum in his hip early last season and played 12 games with the injury. The Packers are starting rookie Corey Lindsey at center Thursday as the replacement for injured starter JC Tretter. Irvin thinks the former Ohio State Buckeye is going to have a time of it with Seattle’s No. 92 in the middle. “Oh, man! If I’m a rookie center and I’ve got Brandon

Mebane over me? I’m going to pray for him,” Irvin said with a big grin. “It’s going to be a long night, man. “We got to just take advantage of it, you know. All the weaknesses that he shows we’ve got to expose it. Hopefully, ‘Bane’ gonna do what I know he’s going to do to him. We’ve just got to be ready.” The last time quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Packers played in Seattle, two seasons ago, the Seahawks got eight sacks – in the first half.

Who will return punts? Wide receiver Bryan Walters said “I had no idea what was going to happen” after the Seahawks cut him Saturday, and

that the team gave him no indication he’d be back so soon. Monday, Seattle re-signed him to the active roster, presumably as another option with All-Pro safety Earl Thomas as the punt returner. “It was crazy,” Walters said, adding about his role now: “I still don’t know. I’ll do whatever the coaches ask of me.” Thomas said Tuesday: “This is on the big stage. (But) I’m treating this game like Pop Warner. I get to play punt return and free safety.” So we’ll see who actually returns Green Bay’s punts.

Bates clears waivers The man whom Seattle cut to make room for Walters, wide receiver Phil Bates, cleared waivers as expected. The Seahawks could add him to their practice squad.

Extra points Tuesday’s practice report had the same Seahawks with the

same designations as Monday: tight end Cooper Helfet (knee), running back Christine Michael (hamstring), and guard (listed as a guard, not a center) Lemuel Jeanpierre (neck), rookie linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis (hamstring), cornerback Tharold Simon (knee). The Seahawks limited in practice: Irvin, nickel back Jeremy Lane (groin) and rookie wide receiver Kevin Norwood (ankle). … The Packers did not practice Tuesday. Coach Mike McCarthy is changing his ways this season and having a day off from the field two days before every game. The Pack instead will practice Wednesday. ... Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson attributed his completion rate of 79 percent with three touchdowns and no interceptions in four exhibition games to “getting so quick on my reads. I’m reading the coverage so quickly ... I’ve really grown a lot.”

Reports: Broncos’ Welker suspended for 4 games Herald news services Denver Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker has been suspended four games due to a positive test for amphetamines, according to multiple reports. Welker, the star slot receiver who was acquired by Denver from the New England Patriots, tested positive in May, according to reports. He appealed the suspicion, which he lost Tuesday, according to reports. An NFL official declined to comment on the matter.

Texans’ Watt signs 6-year extension HOUSTON — J.J. Watt couldn’t sleep on Monday night after agreeing to a six-year contract extension with the Houston Texans. The star defensive end arrived at NRG Stadium about 3:30 a.m. and found the security code on the door had changed, keeping him locked out. A cleaning lady let him in and Watt went straight to the weight room. “I thought they were pulling a joke on me,” Watt said. “I’m not even on the team anymore.” Not a chance. Watt’s deal is reportedly worth $100 million, including a $10 million signing bonus and $51.8 million in guaranteed money overall. He’s now signed through the 2021 season.

The 25-year-old Watt was the 2012 Defensive Player of the Year after recording 201⁄2 sacks and batting down 16 passes. He has 74 tackles for loss, 361⁄2 sacks and 27 pass breakups since he joined the league as the 11th overall pick in 2011, and he leads the league in sacks (31) and swatted passes (21) in the past two seasons.

Colts owner Irsay suspended 6 games INDIANAPOLIS — Hours after Colts owner Jim Irsay pleaded guilty Tuesday in an Indiana court to one misdemeanor count of driving while impaired, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended him for six games and fined him $500,000. Irsay will be eligible to return after the Colts’ Oct. 9 game against Houston. Irsay, 55, was arrested March 16 after a traffic stop in the Indianapolis suburb of Carmel. A toxicology report showed the painkillers oxycodone and hydrocodone were in his system at the time of the arrest. The $500,000 fine is the maximum permitted under the NFL’s constitution. Goodell could have levied a higher fine but only after seeking the approval of other owners. During the suspension, which takes effect at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Irsay cannot be present at the team’s facility and is not allowed to attend practices, games and league meetings. He also cannot conduct interviews or engage in social media regarding team or league matters. Irsay frequently posts tweets about the Colts and other issues.

49ers’ Harbaugh takes a stand

SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh reiterated Tuesday that the team will not tolerate domestic violence. Harbaugh made his comments and maintained a firm stance about the topic during his radio segment on KNBR-AM, two days after 49ers defensive tackle Ray McDonald was arrested on felony domestic violence charges. McDonald, 30, is out on $25,000 bail following his arrest at his San Jose home early Sunday where he was celebrating his birthday with teammates and friends. McDonald’s arrest came after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced tougher penalties for players accused of domestic violence, including a six-week suspension for a first offense and at least a year for a second.

Ware arrested on suspicion of DUI SEATTLE — Former Seattle Seahawks running back Spencer Ware has been arrested for investigation of driving under the influence. Jail records show Ware was booked into jail in Kent at 3:21 a.m. Tuesday. The Seahawks waived Ware on Saturday as the team’s roster was trimmed to 53. He played two games for Seattle in 2013 after skipping his final year of eligibility at Louisiana State University to enter the NFL draft. This is Ware’s second DUI arrest this year. He was arrested in January in Seattle, but that case was dismissed after a judge suppressed evidence gathered after Ware was stopped.

By Howard Fendrich Associated Press

NEW YORK — Gael Monfils follows his own rules. The guy does things on a tennis court no one else has — or can. Just search his name on YouTube and watch any of many video clips showcasing his speed and agility; start with the parallel-to-the-ground, a-few-feet-in-the-air dive at this year’s French Open. He sips soda during breaks in his matches, raising the can in a toast to his agent. He is currently without any coach at all, in an era when some players have two. What Monfils has never done, despite all his talent — and in some cases, because he has appeared to value style over substance right there on court, in the middle of a point, preferring the spectacular to the sufficient

— is reach a Grand Slam final. He took a step closer Tuesday at the U.S. Open during a surprisingly matterof-fact 7-5, 7-6 (6), 7-5 victory in the fourth round over No. 7-seeded Grigor Dimitrov, a man considered one of the sport’s up-and-comers. There is a narrative building around the 20th-seeded Monfils’ success so far this year at Flushing Meadows, where he hasn’t dropped a set en route to reaching the quarterfinals for the first time since 2010: He has matured, is playing more carefully, more seriously. The Frenchman, who will face Roger Federer for a spot in the semifinals, rejected that notion after Tuesday’s win. “I’m the same. So I will say I’m a bit more lucky than I was maybe sometime in the past. I think I haven’t changed a lot, to be honest. I haven’t changed a lot,” Monfils said. “I just play maybe solid today.” Monfils’ lone Grand Slam semifinal appearance came at the 2008 French Open, when he lost to Federer, part of a 2-7 career mark against the 17-time major champion. Federer advanced to the U.S. Open quarterfinals for the 10th time in 11 years by

eliminating 17th-seeded Roberto Bautista Agut 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 Tuesday night. Federer won the point on 35 of 52 trips to the net. The other quarterfinal matchup on that half of the draw is No. 6 Tomas Berdych against No. 14 Marin Cilic. Berdych beat 20-year-old Dominic Thiem 6-1, 6-2, 6-4; Cilic was a 5-7, 7-6 (3), 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 winner against No. 26 Gilles Simon. In women’s quarterfinals Tuesday, 39th-ranked Peng Shuai of China ended the run of 17-year-old Belinda Belic of Switzerland 6-2, 6-1. Peng’s next faces No. 10 Caroline Wozniacki, the 2009 U.S. Open runner-up, who overwhelmed No. 13 Sara Errani 6-0, 6-1 in a windwhipped match. Peng, 28, advanced to her first Grand Slam semifinal in the 37th major tournament of her career; only five women took longer to get to the final four at one of the sport’s top four events. Her voice choking with emotion during an on-court interview, Peng said she had pondered giving up professional tennis in the past, but “my coach, my parents — they always tell me to try to keep going and never ever, give up.”

Ryder Cup teams filled out Associated Press NEW YORK — U.S. captain Tom Watson went with experience and a gut feeling Tuesday night when he filled out his Ryder Cup team with Keegan Bradley, Hunter Mahan and Webb Simpson. Bradley has not won a tournament in two years. But he went 3-0 in a partnership with Phil Mickelson two years ago at Medinah

that we believe they’re players for the future,” said Davidson, who’s still determining whether Malenica or Wegleitner are ready to make the team this season. “We’re getting them into exhibition games and we’ll see where they fit into the mix. I see a lot of promise in them.” Everett made two roster moves following the weekend as a pair of 15-year-olds, defenseman Jantzen Leslie and winger Bryce Kindopp, were reassigned after getting their first taste of WHL action. Both Leslie and Kindopp, who are too young to make the team this season, appeared in two games over the weekend. They already were scheduled to return home following the weekend.

before losing to Rory McIlroy in singles. Mahan was left off the 2012 team that lost to Europe. Also Tuesday, European captain Paul McGinley selected Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood and Stephen Gallacher for his team. The matches are Sept. 26-28 at Gleneagles in Scotland. Europe has won seven of the past nine times, and it will be heavily favored in Scotland.

Otherwise, everyone who was with the team over the weekend and is eligible to make the team is still with the Tips. Therefore, Everett takes a roster of 28 players — 16 forwards, eight defensemen and four goaltenders — into this weekend’s Tri-City Preseason Tournament in Kennewick. The Tips face Seattle on Friday and Kootenay on Saturday, both in morning contests.

Leedahl suspended Everett winger Dawson Leedahl received a twogame suspension from the league for his checkingfrom-behind major penalty during Sunday’s 4-2 loss to Portland. He will miss Everett’s two games this weekend. Check out Nick Patterson’s Silvertips blog at http://www.heraldnet. com/silvertipsblog, and follow him on Twitter at NickHPatterson.

Tasty tailgating Three ideas for the football fan who’s also a foodie BURGERS

HOT WINGS

Tired of same old grind? Chop the meat yourself

Upscale ingredient makes the difference

By J.M. Hirsch

The Washington Post

Associated Press

I’m not going to tell you how to dress your burger. I’m not going to tell you what sort of bun to put your burger on. I’m not really even going to tell you very much about how to cook your burger. But I am going to tell you how to make the best burger. Ever. And you start by avoiding the ground beef at the grocer at all costs. So let’s start there. Ground beef tends to be overworked during processing. And overworked beef is tough beef. Instead, you want to grab yourself sirloin steak tips, which are tender, meaty and full of flavor. But you’re not going to grind them. You’re going to chop them in the food processor. Not only does this prevent the beef from being overworked, it also gives the finished burgers a big beefy, tender steak-like texture. The trick to chopping the beef is to cut it into 1-inch chunks, then freeze it for about 15 minutes until it is just firm. These partially frozen chunks chop perfectly in the processor without becoming overworked. For seasoning, you want a blend of finely ground Parmesan cheese and Asian fish sauce. Don’t worry ... The finished burgers will taste neither cheesy nor fishy. Both ingredients disappear into the steaky goodness See BURGERS, Page D2

“We’re going to make some money off these!” That was the reaction when Tim Ma tossed together a batch of chicken wings for family in 2010. The chef now plates 60 pounds’ worth a week at his restaurant in Vienna, Virginia. The sauce shines a citrusy heat on wings and drumettes that remain crisp under cover. Eating them is finger-lickin’ business. The recipe’s so simple that Ma was almost embarrassed to share it. The hitch: He uses creme fraiche — a rich, cultured product that does not separate when exposed to heat. With extra whisking, a good store brand also will do.

Creme fraiche chicken wings 1 pound chickens and drumetttes 2 cups good-quality creme fraiche; 3 tablespoons oyster sauce, preferably Sky Dragon brand; 3 tablespoons fish sauce, preferably Squid brand; 1⁄2 cup gojuchang (spicy Korean red pepper paste); 3 tablespoons tamari; 3 tablespoons sudachi juice (you may use yuzu or fresh lime juice); 1 pinch each kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper ASSOCIATED PRESS

The trick to chopping beef for burgers is to cut it into 1-inch chunks, then freeze it for about 15 minutes until it is just firm. These partially frozen chunks chop perfectly in the processor without becoming overworked.

What’s new on the menu at CenturyLink Herald staff Hosting your own tailgate is fun, but maybe you have to go to the game (poor you!) Well the food service providers at Century Link have you covered with some fun new options. Delaware North has created a special season-opening menu for the Seahawks game against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night. The Seattle chefs crafted a special menu

that includes Pacific Northwest Crab Fries, a “Hawk” Dog and the “Champion Chip” Hawk Nachos. The menu will be available at Century Link for the entire 2014-15 season. Here’s a look at the new menu items: PNW Crab Fries: Waffle cut French fries topped with a creamy crab cheese sauce. The “Hawk” Dog: A 2-footlong hot dog topped with chipotle cheese sauce, pico de

gallo, diced red peppers, diced jalapenos, sour cream, guacamole and blue and green tortilla strips. “Champion Chip” Hawk Nachos (right): A colossal bucket filled with blue and green chips with chipotle cheese sauce, pollo verde or ground beef, black beans, cotija cheese, diced green chilies, sliced jalapenos, sliced black olives, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo and banana pepper rings.

Heat 4 to 6 cups canola oil in a pot to 350 degrees. Combine ingredients except chicken in a mixing bowl and whisk into a smooth sauce. Taste and add up to 1/4 cup extra gojuchang if you like spicy heat. Refrigerate half the sauce for another use. Working in two or three batches, fry chicken wings and drumettes in the oil to an internal temperature of 200 degrees, 7 to 8 minutes. They will be golden brown. Use a Chinese skimmer to transfer them to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Immediately toss each seasoned batch into the sauce. Use your hands to coat the chicken evenly, then quickly arrange on a plate. Garnish with finely chopped chives, or scallions cut thinly on the diagonal. Serve right away. 4 servings Note: Leftover sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a month.

JERK CHICKEN

Deliciously different way to grill a bird By Sara Moulton Associated Press

It’s tailgate season, and chicken is the ideal candidate to get you grilling. Why? Chicken is light, it easily picks up the marinade of your choice, and it cooks quickly. But this recipe is not for your everyday grilled chicken. This is spicy Jamaican-style jerk chicken. “Jerk” refers both to a unique blend of seasonings and to a method of slow cooking. It is said to have been invented by Jamaica’s Maroons, slaves who escaped from Spanish-owned plantations when the British took over and

established free communities in Jamaica’s mountainous interior. The Maroons hunted wild boars, then preserved the meat with a spice mix that contained a hefty amount of salt. When it was time to eat, the meat was cooked in a pit or grilled very slowly over a fire. Eventually, Jamaicans began to cook all kinds of meats jerk-style. Jerk seasoning consists of a base blend of scallions, thyme, allspice (known as pimento in Jamaica), Scotch bonnet chilies, salt and, not infrequently, cinnamon or nutmeg. This may look like an awful lot of ingredients to slice and dice, but that’s not the

case. Toss them all into a blender, pulverize everything to a paste, then you’re good to go. But you do need to be careful when you’re messing with those Scotch bonnets. I advise wearing gloves. Seriously. A cousin of the habanero, Scotch bonnets are serious chilies. I call for a whole chili here, but you can use less if you want to tamp down the heat. Happily, Scotch bonnets aren’t solely about heat; they also are uniquely flavorful — like a cross between a mango and chili — with a wonderfully fruity scent. If you can’t find Scotch bonnets,

Nine affordable whites worth knowing about

Dry Riesling, Columbia Valley, $10: Beautiful and inviting aromas of lychee, mango, pear and lime don’t disappoint. There’s a quick burst of ripe tropical fruit flavors, followed by dried pineapple, Asian pear and Christmas spices. (12.5 percent alcohol) Latah Creek Wine Cellars 2012 Familigia Vineyards Chardonnay, Ancient Lakes of Columbia Valley, $12: Big aromas of tropical fruit, apple and pear, with a hint of ghee and touch of toast lead to flavors of Granny Smith apple, pear and lime, backed by midpalate richness and a good finish of butter with pineapple. (12.5 percent alcohol) Three Rivers Winery 2013 Riesling, Columbia Valley, $15: Fanciful aromas of Granny Smith apple, lime and dusty minerality give way to flavors of honeyed pear and apricot cobbler, backed by a sprinkle of ground clove and a shot of lime juice to balance the

ast week, we reviewed several Pacific Northwest red wines priced at $15 or less. This week, we take a look at whites. With few exceptions, white wines tend to cost less for several reasons. White wine grapes such as Riesling and Chardonnay can be grown in greater quantities. For example, in Washington an acre of Riesling can produce perhaps 6 tons of grapes, while an acre of Cabernet Sauvignon might only produce 2 to 4 tons. Some white wine grapes such as Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc are aged for short periods of time in stainless steel tanks that can be used over and over rather than expensive oak barrels that might be used four years before being discarded. Here are some delicious whites priced for $15 or less that we’ve tasted in recent weeks: Chateau Ste. Michelle 2013

of it. If you want to cut calories, you’re welcome to discard the skin after you’re done grilling. The meat itself will be plenty spicy. The job of the watermelon salsa is to balance the heat of the chilies. All by itself, of course, ripe watermelon is one of the top reasons to love summer. But they happen to be plenty healthy, too. They’re full of water, which makes them an excellent hot weather thirst-quencher, and they’re a great source of lycopene, vitamin C and beta-carotene. And these days you don’t have to buy mega-melons. There are plenty of smaller versions, most of them “seedless” (or at least with soft little seeds), the result of hybridization. At the supermarket, look for a melon with a large yellow spot on the bottom. The bottom, or underbelly, of

Chardonnay, Columbia Valley, $11: Aromas of Golden Delicious apple, Asian pear, lemon/ lime and jicama lead to flavors of fresh-sliced pear and Gala apple splash around amid a slightly creamy mouth feel prior to the finish of lime-like acidity and dusty minerality. (11.9 percent alcohol) Snoqualmie Vineyards 2013 Sauvignon Blanc, Columbia Valley, $8: Last year’s rip-roaring summer allowed winemakers in Washington state to bring in many of their wines earlier than usual. In this case, winemaker Joy Andersen made the call starting Sept. 6, early enough to preserve ample acidity. Thoughts of Granny Smith apple, Asian pear, gooseberry and minerality make up the aromas. Ripe flavors of green apple, pear and lime juice pick up a slight sense of grassiness. (13.5 percent alcohol) L’Ecole No. 41 2013 Old Vines

a watermelon is the spot where it was resting on the ground. If that “ground spot” is white or green, the watermelon is unlikely to be fully ripe. Once your melon is home, don’t store it in the fridge, at least not until it’s sliced.

The residual sugar of 2.4 percent takes this down a path akin to late harvest at the start, but there’s plenty of acidity to balance as the flavor profile, which features peach, apricot and lingering lime.

Mustard (English-style mustard) 2 bay leaves 2 large cloves garlic, crushed 1 teaspoon kosher salt 2 teaspoons sugar 2 teaspoons dried thyme 4 chicken breast halves (4 pounds total) on the bone with the skin, each chicken breast half cut in half For the salsa: 2 cups diced seedless watermelon 1 cup diced seedless cucumber 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot 1 ⁄4 cup finely shredded fresh mint 3 tablespoons lime juice 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar Salt In a blender, combine 4 tablespoons of the oil, the scallions, chilies, soy sauce, lime juice, allspice, mustard, bay leaves, garlic, salt, sugar and thyme. Blend until the mixture forms a fine paste. Transfer the mixture to

a re-sealable plastic bag. Add the chicken and turn it to coat well on all sides. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours and up to 2 days. When ready to cook, heat the grill to medium. To make the salsa, in a medium bowl, combine the watermelon, cucumber, shallot, mint, lime juice and sugar. Season with salt, then set aside. Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade. Using an oil-soaked paper towel held with tongs, oil the grill grates. Add the chicken, skin side down, and grill for 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the pieces of chicken, then grill for another 10 to 15 minutes, or just cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate, cover with foil and let rest 5 minutes. Serve each portion topped with some of the salsa.

the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pieces of beef are firm, but not frozen solid. Once the beef is firm, place half of the pieces in the processor (there is no need to wash it out after the Parmesan), then pulse until well chopped, but not ground. This should take about 1 minute of on-off pulsing. Transfer the chopped beef to the bowl with the cheese, then repeat the procedure with the remaining beef. Drizzle the fish sauce and soy sauce over the chopped beef, then use your hands to mix everything together. Make sure the cheese is evenly distributed, but try not to knead or overwork the meat. Divide the meat into 4 portions, then form each into a burger patty. As you form the

patties, use your thumb to press an indentation into the center of each burger. This prevents the burgers from bulging in the center during cooking. The burgers can be grilled immediately or refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Just like people, all animals need three things to survive: food, water and shelter. I am a brown pelican—the state bird of Louisiana. Not too many years ago, all of the brown pelicans in Louisiana died out. Why? Our food, mostly fish, became poisoned by pesticides. Fortunately farmers no longer use these poisons and brown pelicans were brought from Florida to start new colonies in Louisiana.

We pellies like to nest in colonies—large groups of pelicans. We look for quiet islands where our eggs and chicks will be safe from predators. But even on islands, the eggs and chicks are not safe from gulls and crows. Parent pelicans take turns sitting on the eggs and covering the young chicks. This also protects them from the sun during the day and from cool ocean breezes at night.

GRANDPARENTING

DAILY CROSSWORD

Once a star, grandson now a loser Dear Grandparenting: This is a tale of two grandchildren except that I’m talking about the same person. It’s my grandson Kenny. When Kenny was 13 he had the whole world in his hands. He was the most popular and the leader of the pack, the one everyone thought could do no wrong. Several times a parent of one of his high school friends told me they thought Kenny was headed for stardom in his chosen field. That was then. This is now. Kenny is 19. He has lost that golden glow and the confidence that went with it. Looking back, it happened like a row of dominos falling down, one thing after another. Kenny dropped out of high school in the middle of his junior year. Most of his friends were older and finished with school. He didn’t have a plan. He was adrift sort of. Kenny had some problems with abusing different substances. He had some emotional problems too. I know he has been arrested at least once, because I posted his bail. His parents have three other children. They seem more invested in making sure they don’t end up like Kenny. I am the main one in the family who keeps up in

with Kenny. He lives in Tempe with friends doing “odd jobs.” Let this serve to warn grandparents whose young grandchildren are the talk of the town. The bigger they come, the harder they fall. Bump Jackson, Casa Grande, AZ Dear Bump: We’ve seen this too many times, grandchildren free falling from the top drawer to bottom dwellers, all before their teenage years have run their course. And while some can learn from their experience and redeem themselves, it is a long way back. Socially precocious youth — “cool” kids like Kenny — are at greater risk than garden-variety grandchildren for this downward spiral, according to a recent study in the journal Child Development. The onset of their decline, according to Joseph P. Allen, the study’s lead author, occurs when they enter the fast lane and begin socializing with older kids. Instead of eating ice cream and watching a movie at home on Friday night, the Kennys of this world engage in “pseudomature” behaviors to impress others — drinking, drug experimentation, reckless dating.

developmental period, cool kids chasing popularity often become socially stunted and quickly lose their cachet. Busy carousing, they didn’t core values held by truly mature mid-teens — supportive friendship, hard work and responsibility. When peers were asked how well these once vaunted cool kids got along with others, their ratings were 24% lower than average young adults. Grandparents can reinforce aspects of character that help grandchildren withstand the urge to be too cool, too young, and too fast. Grandchildren with the selfconfidence to appreciate their individuality are always cool in our book.

Dear Abby: My wife walks around our house nude or topless with the shades open, and anybody walking outside can see in. Recently she did this while some painting contractors were working around our house. I have begged her not to, to no avail. What should I do? — More Modest In North Carolina Dear M.m.: It appears you married an exhibitionist. You might point out to her that parading around that way could be considered disrespectful to the workers she’s exposed herself to. But don’t be surprised if she’s unwilling to change because it may give her some kind of thrill. (I’m sure it also gives the viewers something to talk about around the dinner table.) Dear Abby: Please remind beachgoers that they need to leave their fire pits OPEN and not cover them with sand. My 16-month-old grandnephew was walking on a beach in Carmel, California, with his mom and dad when he suffered burns to his feet from walking across sand beneath which were hot coals. It will take at least three weeks for this dear baby’s feet to heal from those burns. People don’t realize that covering the coals with sand hides them and keeps them hot for up to 24 hours! — Beach Etiquette Dear B.e.: I’m printing your letter not only as a warning to beachgoers who might be using fire pits, but also to the parents of small children because hot buried coals can be a hidden danger to their little ones. Because the coals cannot be seen, children sometimes confuse fire pits ringed by rocks with “sandboxes,” and the RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY results can be tragic. Dear Abby: My husband, “Patrick,” and I were married last year. On the morning of our wedding, his grandmother, “Sally,” died. It was very sudden. Everyone assumed we’d postpone it, but we didn’t. Abby, my husband is still emotionally distraught over her death. Patrick’s parents were absent from his life and Grandma Sally had raised him. Did we make a mistake by not postponing our wedding? How can I help him? — Sad New Wife In South Carolina Dear Sad New Wife: Life is for the living. I don’t know how large your wedding was, but if there were contracts involved (hall, flowers, music, caterer, guests coming in from out of town, etc.), you were right to follow through with your plans. I am sure that’s what Grandma Sally would have wanted. Please convey to your husband how sorry I am for his loss. Because he is moving so slowly through the grieving process, it would be helpful for him to contact a grief support group. To find one, he can ask a doctor, clergyman or hospice for a referral.

BRIDGE I continue a series on “seeing” your opponents’ cards — not with your eyes, but with your mind’s eye. Today’s West cashes two hearts and exits with a trump, and declarer draws trumps. To make his game, he must play the clubs for one loser. Who has the king? Declarer may suspect that West, who opened the bidding, has it. But East needs one high honor for his raise to two hearts, and it could be either minor-suit king. Can declarer place the cards?

At the fifth trick, South leads the queen of diamonds. If West had the king, he would almost surely cover. Then South could take dummy’s ace and place the king of clubs with East. South would lead a club to his queen next. When West actually plays low on the queen of diamonds, South takes the ace and assigns the king to East — and the king of clubs to West. So South leads the ace and a low club. If West has diamonds such as K-10-x and doesn’t cover the queen, my advice would be to find weaker opponents. DAILY QUESTION

Dogs get blues when kids go back to school By Sue Manning

Tanner, 14, when he’s gone. “She stays in his room. If his door is closed, she will whine to get in,” Dianne Larson said. If the dog isn’t in Tanner’s room, she’s at the front window watching for him. Side effects for anxious dogs don’t stop at whimpering. Some dogs refuse to eat when their owners are gone, experts say. “There will be an exuberant greeting when you do come home, one that can last several minutes and be completely crazy, then the dog will run to the food bowl,” Dodman said. Nearly half the anxious dogs have noise phobias, so if a storm hits while they are in an empty house, they can panic. A really insecure dog might become clingy and follow their owners around. Besides recommended independence training, there are some things

ABC announces next ‘Bachelor’ NEW YORK — ABC has chosen its next “Bachelor.” Chris Soules, who came in third last season on “The Bachelorette,” will look for love among 25 women vying for his heart. His selection was announced Wednesday on “Good Morning America.” The 32-year-old Iowa farmer said he was “humbled, flattered and grateful” to be selected. “My focus is gonna be to make the girls that are on the show as comfortable as possible,” he said. “The Bachelor” features

a single guy who goes on a series of dates to choose a potential bride. The last go-round with former pro soccer player Juan Pablo Galavis wasn’t as popular as the network had hoped, and this time, ABC seemed to want to involve the fans in its decision for the upcoming season. For weeks, executive producer Mike Fleiss teased viewers on Twitter about who would become the next “Bachelor.” One of the names in the running was race car driver Arie Luyendyk Jr., the runner-up on Emily

50 years ago (1964) Denise Lyons, 10, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Lyons, 6509 Commercial Ave., was the national winner of Young Hobby Club’s carrot puzzle contest. Her prize was a 12-volume set of Encyclopedia Britannica’s “Great Books for Children.” She was entering fifth grade at Roosevelt School. Zion Lutheran School, Fourth and Union Street, Snohomish was beginning the school year with two new teachers, according to Raymond Knauft, principal. They were husband-wife team Wilfred and Judy Nitz, recent graduates of Concordia Teachers College in River Forest, Ill.

Maynard’s season of “The Bachelorette.” Luyendyk was vocal about wanting the shot at televised love, often tweeting about it and pitching himself on various blogs. When he wasn’t chosen, he wrote on Twitter, “I’m not the Bachelor, have fun on the farm people,” essentially spoiling the announcement on “GMA.” The new season is expected to begin production next month and will begin airing in January.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today’s highlight: On Sept. 3, 1939, Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand declared war on Germany, two days after the Nazi invasion of Poland; in a radio address, Britain’s King George VI said, “With God’s help, we shall prevail.” The same day, a German U-boat torpedoed and sank the British liner SS Athenia some 250 miles off the Irish coast, killing more than 100 out of the 1,400 or so people on board. On this date: In 1189, England’s King Richard I (the LionHearted) was crowned in Westminster Abbey. In 1783, representatives of the United States and Britain signed the Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the Revolutionary War. In 1951, the television soap opera “Search for Tomorrow” made its debut on CBS. In 1976, America’s Viking 2 lander touched down on Mars to take the first closeup, color photographs of the planet’s surface. Associated Press

25 years ago (1989) This Monday’s Herald would be delivered in the morning. Starting with Labor Day, the newspaper would be published in the morning seven holidays during the year. Publisher Larry Hanson said he was pleased to respond to readers interested in receiving a morning paper on the holidays. Construction crews were putting in overtime to finish Mukilteo’s new Columbia Elementary School in time for the start of school. Principal Jon Evavold kept a book and pencil by his bed at night to trap fleeting thoughts about textbooks, tables and classroom flags.

LOS ANGELES — Young people aren’t the only ones who get back-toschool blues. Pooches used to months of constant playtime can get upset when their best buddies disappear with the dog days of summer. Many dogs whine and wait eagerly at the front door but eventually adjust to the absence of their young owners when they are in class. But millions of dogs can feel abandoned, sad and unable to cope — and they look for ways to lash out. Many of the nation’s 80 million dogs have separation anxiety, Dr. Nick Dodman, of Tufts University’s Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in Massachusetts, said citing studies. Dogs with separation

owners can do to ease their dogs’ blues. Dodman suggests: Make your departure a happy time with toys and treats. Create a place in the house where the dog feels safe. Start the new routine before school begins. Don’t indulge behavior with baby talk or sympathy. See a vet if it doesn’t improve. To cope with separation, first-grader Harry Williams of Kanab, Utah, takes the family dogs, Flora and Gandalf, to the bus stop each morning to get a bit more time with them. “He is sad to leave them and hugs them like 10 times before he gets on the bus. Usually Flora whines when the bus pulls away,” mom Jill Williams said. But the dogs mostly sleep while the youngster is at school.
