Inmate charged with murder

Sheriff’s office pays $600K

Benjamin Cory Price, who has a long history of mental illness, is accused of killing fellow prisoner Gordon Powell by stomping on him.

Monroe hopes to tap into the ever-growing craft beer industry

Herald Writer

EVERETT — The attack that killed a Centralia man lasted just nine seconds. Now, a Monroe prisoner with a long history of mental illness is charged with aggravated murder for the homcide. Benjamin Cory Price, 35, is accused of stomping another inmate to death inside the Special Offender Unit at the Monroe Correctional Complex. Gordon Powell, 45, died about a week later, from “immediately devastating trauma” to the brain. The May 9 attack was caught on the prison’s video surveillance system. Price allegedly confessed to the slaying, saying he’s been training as a government assassin since the age of 4. He called Powell a “Satan buddy.” He also said Powell used telepathy to tell him that if he assaulted him, Price would finally get to talk to police and a lawyer. “Told everyone I need to talk to law enforcement. I’m getting desperate enough to kill someone,” Price allegedly said to corrections officers after the assault. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Chris Dickinson earlier this month charged Price with aggravated murder. Under the law, killing someone inside a prison can be considered an aggravating factor. The inmate is expected to be arraigned Aug. 5. Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Roe will have to decide after that hearing whether he’ll seek the death penalty for Price. The inmate already is serving a 12-year sentence for another killing. Price strangled his girlfriend, Dawn Ruger, in 2006 and hid her body in rural Whatcom County. Two years later he confessed to the killing and led police to her body. Price claimed Ruger was putting demons in his head. He was charged with second-degree murder in Skagit County and eventually pleaded guilty to manslaughter after a lengthy stay at Western State Hospital. Price also made delusional claims in 2011 after attempting to strangle his cellmate at Stafford Creek Correctional Center

EVERETT — The Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office has paid a corrections deputy $600,000 to

settle a lawsuit for mishandling his public records request. The deputy alleged that the sheriff ’s office did not supply him any records for four years after receiving his request in

2010. He also accused the sheriff ’s office of bungling deadlines and otherwise violating state public records laws. County Executive John Lovick was sheriff when the request was made. The sheriff ’s office admitted in a news release Wednesday that “the request was never properly processed or fulfilled.”

The lawsuit also shed light on problems in how the sheriff ’s office was handling public records requests, Sheriff Ty Trenary said. That led to significant changes within the Public Disclosure Unit, he said. See $600K, back page, this section

MONROE — A bartender sits behind a fresh-cut pine bar, quietly strumming a guitar. Craft beers are served to people at steel-wrapped tables. Different guitars line the cedar paneling behind the bar and vinyl records fill the shelves. Music is part of the feel at Dreadnought Brewing, owner Steve Huskey said. The business, which takes its name from an acoustic guitar style, opened June 25 in the Fryelands neighborhood.

Civilians begin shadowing ‘Jade Helm’ war exercise Associated Press BASTROP, Texas — No citizens were rounded up and imprisoned at WalMart. Tanks didn’t rumble down city streets in a declaration of martial law. Eric Johnston wore his handgun on his hip Wednesday, but didn’t really believe soldiers participating in one of the largest U.S. military training exercises in history were coming to confiscate it. Still, he was ready if Jade Helm 15 came to the worst. “I would like to think

that if the situation were to turn afoul, many more of our people would stand up and come to assist,” said Johnston, a retired Arizona sheriff’s deputy and the Texas organizer of a national group called Counter Jade Helm. In fact, the seven-state war exercise launched in the exact manner Army officials have spent months patiently describing to conspiracy theorists: With no fanfare or cause for alarm, and almost entirely out of sight to the general public. Pops of gunfire echoed beyond the front

gates of Camp Swift near Bastrop, Texas, though that hardly seemed out of the ordinary on what is a training ground for the Texas National Guard. Parts of Arizona, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Utah are also hosting the three-month training exercise, which the Army has acknowledged as unique given the size and scope. Military officials have said the topography in selected areas is ideal to replicate foreign combat zones. Suspicions intensified

after some conservative political websites seized on an Army map that labeled Texas and Utah as “hostile” for the purposes of the simulation. Fears spilled into public view in April when about 200 people packed a community meeting here in Bastrop County and questioned an Army commander about whether martial law was imminent. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott even ordered the State Guard to monitor the military’s movements, drawing sharp rebuke from critics who accused the new

Republican governor of pandering to fringe theorists. At least two people mailed tinfoil to his office, with one note reading, “For your hat!” No other governor greeted Jade Helm with similar actions, and Abbott has deflected the mocking as overblown. His office had received 15 calls by lunchtime about Jade Helm, and aides were ready to answer. Bastrop Mayor Ken Kesselus has spent weeks trying to dampen impressions that his city of 8,000 people is a hive of “wackos

and conspiracy theorists.” “The last few weeks I’ve had 22 calls. One was from a guy in South Texas who thinks (President Barack) Obama is a communist, a Muslim and evil person and wanted me to warn everybody to hold onto their guns,” Kesselus said. “The other 21 calls were from press.” Johnston has 27 volunteers — some armed — positioned across Texas, including a monitor he described as a retired Army ranger. He described them as a neighborhood watch.

50-million-year-old sperm found, by accident The Washington Post Benjamin Bomfleur can’t help but laugh a little when talking about this latest, record-setting discovery. “A 50-million-year-old worm sperm from Antarctica?” he said between chuckles. “Who would have thought that’s possible?” And yet, what Bomfleur, of the Swedish Museum of Natural History, and other researchers stumbled upon was a serious discovery: the oldest animal sperm ever found. As it goes with many great discoveries, this wasn’t what they were looking for. While on an expedition on Seymour Island in the Antarctic, Thomas Mörs, a paleobiologist at the same museum, was looking for signs of small mammal bones when he discovered a fossilized cocoon. Remembering that cocoons like this often carried notable remains of plants, he passed it along to

DEPARTMENT OF PALAEOBIOLOGY, SWEDISH MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY

This recently discovered fossilized sperm cell from a worm in Antartica is believed to be 50 million years old.

Bomfleur, a fellow palaeobiologist. Bomfleur took it and started looking for plant remains. That’s when he noticed the long, fragile remains of what appeared to be a sperm. No expert in sperm himself, Bomfleur sent pictures of the specimen along to Marco Ferraguti, who happens to be an expert in annelid sperm. Through radiometric dating, it was determined that the cocoon and its contents were at least 50 million years old, making the sperm the “oldest fossil

animal spermatozoa yet identified.” After comparing the pictures with his “enormous collection” of sperm pictures, Ferraguti determined the specimen was likely the product of a “crayfish worm.” Now retired, Ferraguti made a point of mentioning that he finds it amusing that he gets to be part of such an eye-catching study because, while in the field, he found it “really, really difficult to tell people the work [he does] is interesting.” What allowed this sperm to survive for so long was the biology of its creator. The ancient worm

secretes a cocoon, about 2 millimeters around, which then typically serves as a protective housing for an egg and sperm when the worm reproduces. The cocoon is formed by a sticky mucus that takes several days to harden, but once it does, biological material, such as sperm, can be trapped along its walls. This can preserve all kinds of different materials for centuries. Bomfleur likened it to amber preservation, though it’s unlikely this could be used for the creation of a Spielberg-esque, Jurassic worm (sorry). “These things are — they are flexible,” Mörs said, comparing the cocoon to similar fossils typically formed by plants. “I didn’t expect at the beginning that these were from animals.” The downside, Bomfleur said, is that the sperm was not completely intact. It was broken into fragments, making it difficult to learn much about the anatomy of this specific worm. However, the research team also found remnants of clam shells and small animals within this cocoon. The evolutionary history of Citellata (earthworms,

leeches, etc.) is largely unknown, the team wrote in their paper, which was published in Biology Letters this week. Finding remnants of this type of species in the Northern Hemisphere is particularly rare, the study said, indicating that the evolutionary history of these worms is more complex than once thought. More importantly, Bomfleur explained that though worms themselves don’t fossilize well, sperm can be a better clue as to the creator of a given cocoon. This discovery should encourage future researchers to look for similar structures. “I think we might have a really interesting system here that can be sort of a hidden window to the past,” Jakob Vinther, who studies invertebrate evolution at the University of Bristol, told Nature. “There could be a lot of potential hidden gems inside those cocoons.” While fossilized sperms are a rare find, Seymour Island is a known hot spot of noteworthy fossils, Mörs said — he’s been there three times already. The only part of Antarctica that is completely free of ice cover, the island is a perfect location for extraction.

Transient charged in knife attack that injures 2 By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — Prosecutors have charged a transient man with assault for a knife attack that left two people injured. Einar Hansen II, 41, was intoxicated and high on methamphetamine June 19 when he began yelling that his motorcycle had been stolen. He reportedly walked by a man standing outside a motorhome and began accusing him of stealing the bike, according to court documents.

The two came to blows and Hansen was knocked to the ground. The other man walked away and went into his friend’s motorhome. A witness told detectives that Hansen frequently yells as he walks around the RV park on Highway 99 in Lynnwood. A woman tried to calm Hansen down after the scuffle but her efforts failed. He allegedly ran after the other man, waving around a knife he’d taken from his pocket, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Edirin

Okoloko wrote. He entered the motorhome and allegedly stabbed one man in the back. That man hadn’t been involved in the earlier fight. He’d only come outside after hearing the commotion. Hansen pushed past that man and allegedly stabbed the other man several times. The woman finally persuaded Hansen to stop. They all exited the motorhome, and while they were outside Hansen allegedly tried to hug one of the injured men and apologized, Okoloko wrote.

He jumped a fence before police showed up. Both victims were taken to a hospital for treatment. A deputy and his dog found Hansen in thick vegetation on 164th Street SW. He reportedly refused to surrender. A police dog was sent in and Hansen was taken into custody. Deputies allegedly found a bloody folding knife near the location. Hansen also was carrying a knife, court papers said. A motorcycle was found outside the RV park. It was listed

as stolen. Hansen was taken to a hospital to be treated for dog bites. He had a blood-alcohol level of .27 and tested positive for meth, court papers said. He was held at the hospital for several hours before being booked into the Snohomish County Jail. Hansen is charged with two counts of second-degree assault. He was being held on $100,000 bail.

Suburban fire departments also typically don’t have brush trucks designed to go off roads to fight fires in vegetation, he said. Lane closures are meant to protect firefighters, who are focused on putting out a fire, from drivers, who often become distracted, Maloney said. Fires also spread underground, burning through decayed vegetation. That can prove challenging, with hot spots flaring up in areas already thought to be put out.

SEATTLE — Gov. Jay Inslee did not get legislation he said was needed to update the state’s water quality standards that are partly tied to how much fish people eat. Now, he’ll have to decide his next move as federal regulators are preparing to step in and tell Washington what to do in case it fails to finalize a rule by this year. The state released a draft rule this year that dramatically raised the fish consumption rate to 175 grams a day to protect people who eat about a serving of fish a day. How much fish people eat is part of a complicated formula that determines how clean waters should be. A higher rate theoretically would mean fewer toxic chemicals would be allowed in waters and tougher permitting rules for facilities that discharge pollutants into state waters. But the governor said the state would not finalize that draft rule until he got approval from lawmakers on companion legislation. Inslee sought a bill that would tackle pollution at its source by giving the Department of Ecology new authority to ban the worst chemicals in products before they foul state waters. State officials had said the complete package would provide better protection than just the water-quality rule alone. But House Bill 1472 failed to pass during the legislative session that ended last week. “We’re disappointed,” said

Brush fires a highway headache By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

MARYSVILLE — A grass fire along I-5 in Marysville on Tuesday that consumed roughly a quarter acre managed to reduce traffic to an eight-mile trickle. Then it seemed to take a long time to put out. Marysville Fire Marshal Tom Maloney said he gets as frustrated as anyone else with the hassle highway brush fires can cause commuters, but there is nothing firefighters can do to speed up the process. Tuesday’s fire was both quick and stubborn. “Part of the problem with any of the fires on the freeway is they can be fast-moving,” Maloney said. “The grass vegetation is a finer fuel and when it is wind driven, the fire will grow rapidly.” That’s what happened Tuesday

New seaweed strain tastes like ... bacon Scientists in Oregon say the dulse holds the potential for a new industry. Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore. — What grows quickly, is packed with protein, has twice the nutritional value of kale and tastes like bacon? The answer, according to scientists at Oregon State University, is a new strain of seaweed they recently patented. Dulse is a form of edible seaweed that grows wild along the Pacific and Atlantic coastlines. It’s harvested and commonly used by people in dried form as a cooking ingredient or

nutritional supplement. But OSU researchers say the variety they’ve developed can be farmed and eaten fresh, with the potential for a new industry for Oregon. Scientists have been trying to develop a new strain of the seaweed for more than 15 years. Their original goal was to create a super food for commercially grown abalone, a mollusk prized in Asia. The strain of dulse they came up with, which looks like translucent red lettuce, is a great source of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants, not to mention protein. The abalone grew exceedingly quickly when fed the dulse and an abalone operation in Hawaii is now using the seaweed on a commercial scale.

But after a product development team at OSU’s Food Innovation Center created new foods with the dulse, researchers began to think humans might benefit a lot more. Among the most promising foods created were a dulse-based rice cracker and salad dressing. And bacon-tasting strips, which are fried like regular bacon to bring out the flavor. The research team received a grant from the Oregon Department of Agriculture to explore dulse as a “specialty crop” — the first time seaweed had made the list, officials said. The team brought on a culinary research chef to further refine recipes and products. Several Portland-area chefs are now testing the

sea “vegetable” in its raw or cooked form. And MBA students at OSU are preparing a marketing plan for a new line of dulse-based specialty foods and exploring the potential for a new aquaculture industry. There are no commercial operations that grow dulse for human consumption in the U.S. and chefs say fresh, high-quality seaweed is hard to come by. “The dulse grows using a water recirculation system,” said OSU researcher Chris Langdon, who developed the strain. “Theoretically, you could create an industry in eastern Oregon almost as easily as you could along the coast with a bit of supplementation. You just need a modest amount of seawater and some sunshine,” Langdon said.

Cornfield: Owen first elected in 1996 From Page A3

set up a campaign committee to raise money, should he go forward. All this campaign talk is pretty rare for a fairly unique position in state government, with both executive and legislative duties. The lieutenant governor is president of the state Senate. He presides during floor sessions and, as the chamber’s lead parliamentarian, can issue rulings that uphold or derail contested legislative maneuvers. And the lieutenant governor is first in the line of gubernatorial succession, which means he steps in as acting governor whenever the governor one is out of

state or otherwise unable to serve. It happened 69 days in 2011 and 45 in 2012. Owen has been doing this job for a long time. He was first elected in 1996. He’s guided the state Senate through its share of rough-and-tumble sessions with a steady hand and timely humor. But he could face a tough time securing a sixth term because of his past off-thedais behavior. In 2014, the Washington State Executive Ethics Board fined him for improper use of state resources in support of his now-defunct nonprofit Strategies for Youth. Among its findings, the board concluded staff in the lieutenant governor’s

office worked on taxpayer time for the nonprofit. Owen insisted he did nothing wrong but agreed to pay the fine to put the episode behind him. But that issue is certain to resurface should he run again and it may be too much to overcome. Meanwhile, it’s not abundantly clear why Hobbs — who was mentored by Aaron Reardon and, in turn, mentored Kevin Hulten — now wants to be lieutenant governor. Last year, Hobbs was weighing a run for county executive. The job would pay a greater salary and give him the title of acting governor a few times a year. But the 45-year-old husband and father of three would

lose much of the influence he now enjoys in the Legislature. “It is a leadership role. It is an executive position,” he explained. “I see the office as more than presiding over the Senate. It is a means to move our state forward and facilitate a compromise when both parties are at loggerheads over an issue.” And a means for the ambitious Hobbs to build on his political resume — but only if the job opens up.

Critics say the draft rule would increase the cancer-risk level for some chemicals to unacceptable levels and must be improved. Meanwhile, businesses such as Boeing have worried that too-strict rules

will hurt economic development because expensive technologies would be required. The state is under pressure to finalize a rule by this year. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which must approve any state plan, also is coming up with a plan for Washington in case the state fails to do

so in a timely manner. If Washington doesn’t finalize its draft rule by Aug. 3, it will have to start the lengthy comment period again. Chris Wilke, with the Puget Soundkeeper Alliance, said the draft rule actually leaves the waterquality rules unchanged. “This is simply unacceptable,” he said.

Greece approves austerity plan The Washington Post ATHENS, Greece — Hours after police and demonstrators clashed in central Athens, Greek lawmakers Thursday approved austerity measures that were overwhelmingly rejected by their citizens just days ago. The vote represented a stark turnabout for the government, and it was the price Greece’s lenders demanded for saving the country from a whirlwind of economic turmoil. It was a stunning defeat for populist forces that have pushed for a break from years of grinding cuts that powerhouse economies led by

Germany have enforced as the key to growth. In the new topsy-turvy reality, leftist Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was tasked with advocating a stricter version of the austerity he has long opposed. In a sign of his new weakness, 40 of the 149 lawmakers from his Syriza party abandoned him, saying their nation was taking more of the same toxic medicine that had forced it into five years of penury. The defections threatened the stability of his rule, raising the specter of fresh elections and even more economic turmoil. In the short term, the adoption of the new measures

was a milestone on the road toward European approval of an up to $96 billion bailout, sparing Greece from surefire bankruptcy and its ouster from the shared euro currency. Already, banks have been closed for more than two weeks. With a dearth of cash to fuel basic transactions, Greece’s economy is slowly suffocating under the pressure. Greek leaders were stuck Wednesday urging the approval of measures to which they could offer only tepid support, acknowledging that they may send their country into deeper recession. Greeks “can understand the

difference between those who fight with their soul in battle and resist, and those who hand in their weapons and give up with no resistance,” Tsipras told lawmakers in a speech capping the contentious late-night debate. “The outcome of these negotiations is of course not what we wanted.” Even Greece’s creditors have split over the best path for the nation. An International Monetary Fund report Tuesday concluded that Greece’s debts are unsustainable even with its third rescue package in five years — which will require further cuts for the country’s battered economy.

NEW YORK — The geographic areas where Lyme disease is a bigger danger have grown dramatically, according to a new government study published Wednesday U.S. cases remain concentrated in the Northeast and upper Midwest. But now more areas in those regions are considered high risk. “The risk is expanding, in all directions,” said the lead author, Kiersten Kugeler of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There are now 260 counties where the number of Lyme

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump unveiled new documents Wednesday setting his personal fortune at more than $10 billion and his annual income at more than $362 million. The celebrity businessman said he filed a personal financial disclosure form with federal regulators Wednesday, though he has not released the form publicly. The $10 billion figure — up nearly 15 percent since the previous year, by Trump’s calculation — makes him the wealthiest person to ever run for president, far surpassing previous magnates like Ross Perot, business heirs like Steve Forbes or private-equity investors like Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee.

Texas: Airport smuggling Four workers who were employed by companies at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport have been arrested on federal drug charges, accused of using their jobs to bypass security and transport narcotics across the country, according to an indictment unsealed Wednesday. The four were among 46 mostly North Texas individuals who were scheduled to begin appearing in court Wednesday on a 17-count indictment alleging they worked together to distribute heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine, the U.S. Attorney’s office said.

A solar-powered plane attempting to fly around the world will be grounded in Hawaii until April for battery repairs. The plane, called Solar Impulse 2, recently completed the longest leg of its global flight — a five-day, five-night journey from Nagoya, Japan, to Hawaii. During that trip, the plane’s batteries overheated and sustained “irreversible” damage, the team said. The next leg of the journey, which would have taken the plane to Phoenix, had been set for as early as this week.

and spinning. According to the latest data on Charon, the pair may be even more closely linked than scientists had thought. At another briefing Wednesday, the team suggested that the dark patch on top of Charon — nicknamed Mordor — could come from ice borrowed from Pluto. In theory, Charon could be temporarily trapping some of Pluto’s atmosphere, which

NASA

has a tendency to escape into space. “We’ve been arguing,” said William Grundy, of the New Horizons composition team. “The counterproposal is that the dark spot is just an impact basin. That’s an alternative explanation.” At Pluto’s temperatures, ice behaves like rock — so it’s possible that the towering mountains seen on Pluto are made of ice. But knowing what

they’re made of won’t solve the mystery of how they got there — or how the craters that must have been on Pluto’s surface smoothed themselves out without the warmth of a larger planet’s tidal pull. Scientists probably won’t have all the answers about Pluto even after New Horizons finishes its 16-month data dump. And the team is already pushing for funding for an extended mission, which would allow the spacecraft to visit another icy body in the mysterious Kuiper Belt. The belt is thought to have trillions of comets and perhaps hundreds of thousands of larger bodies, and the New Horizons team has selected a few potential targets for a second flyby. If the group gets funding, it could do some controlled burns of the spacecraft’s propulsion system to turn it in the right direction, sending it to a world even more mysterious than Pluto. Principal investigator Alan Stern has estimated that the spacecraft could survive until 2030, which leaves plenty of time for Kuiper Belt exploration.

Earth: Meet Pluto. Scientists for NASA’s New Horizons mission Wednesday shared some tantalizing early discoveries about Pluto — and the first piece of what will soon be a stunning photographic mosaic of the dwarf planet. The most detailed photo of Pluto ever seen captures a tiny piece of its surface, revealing a terrain with an unexpected lack of craters and an abundance of mountains. Both finds are surprising: Pluto and the other objects in the Kuiper Belt are as old as the solar system, and that means 4.6 billion years’ worth of getting pummeled by comets. The fact that Pluto seems to be so craterless suggests that its surface is very young, said the scientists at the briefing at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Columbia, Maryland. In other words, there’s been geological activity recently enough to smooth out the surface quite a bit. The many mountains pictured — some as high as 11,000 feet — are probably less than 100 million years old. The early information on Pluto also is upending what scientists thought they knew about geology on icy worlds. On other ones, geologic activity is powered by heat created from the gravitational pull of a much larger nearby body. That isn’t true in Pluto’s case; something else must make active geology possible. The team also released a new image of Charon, Pluto’s largest moon, which shares a strange orbital relationship with its host. It’s half of Pluto’s size, which is the largest moon-to-host ratio in the solar system, and the pair orbit a common point together like two ice skaters holding hands

disease cases is at least twice what’s expected, given the size of each county’s population. That’s up from 130 a decade earlier, the report shows. Lyme disease is most common in wooded suburban and far suburban counties. Scientists aren’t sure why high-risk areas are expanding, but it likely has something to do with development and other changes that cause the deer and ticks that carry the bacteria to move, Kugeler said. Overall, 17 states have highrisk counties. The entire state of Connecticut, where the illness was first identified in 1975, has been high-risk for

decades. Now, high-risk zones encompass nearly all of Massachusetts and New Hampshire and more than half of Maine and Vermont. Other states that saw expansion of high-risk areas include Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York along the Eastern seaboard, and Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota in the Midwest. The disease is transmitted through the bites of infected deer ticks, which can be about the size of a poppy seed. Symptoms include a fever, headache and fatigue and sometimes a telltale rash that looks like a bull’s-eye on the tick bite. Most people recover with

antibiotics. If left untreated, the infection can cause arthritis and more severe problems. About 20,000 to 30,000 U.S. cases are reported each year, but experts say there actually are as many as 10 times more. Some counties have dropped off the high-risk list, including those in Virginia, Georgia, Missouri and North Carolina where significant clusters were reported in the 1990s. Scientists now think those were a different condition caused by a different tick’s bite, Kugeler said. The article was published online in a CDC journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases.

A federal judge Wednesday ordered the state to list the names of a lesbian couple on a birth certificate as the mothers of their new baby in a ruling that lawyers said was the first of its kind since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized gay marriage. The U.S. District judge said the assisted reproduction case wasn’t hard to decide. “The state has failed to demonstrate any legitimate reason, actually any reason at all, for not treating a female spouse in a same-sex marriage the same as a male spouse in an opposite-sex marriage,” he said.

Florida: New GPS satellite The Air Force has launched a new advanced GPS satellite into orbit. An unmanned Atlas V rocket blasted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Wednesday. It hoisted the 10th in the Air Force’s latest-generation of GPS satellites. Lt. Alain Sothikhoun said the next GPS launch is scheduled for October. He said each new generation of GPS offers improved accuracy. He said more than 1 billion people use the GPS navigation system on any given day.

California: Midway blaze A fire Wednesday aboard the aircraft carrier museum Midway drew a three-alarm response from local fire departments. The fire, which officials said was apparently caused by a spark from a welder’s torch, was reported about 5 a.m. as workers were converting a space below decks to accommodate an expansion of the museum’s overnight program for students. Firefighters from several departments responded to the blaze. Officials said the departments train aboard the Midway to learn how to deal with the intricacies of fighting a fire aboard a ship.

AROUND THE WORLD Norway: Tunnel inferno Sea water leaked into an undersea tunnel Wednesday after a fuel truck crashed into the tunnel’s side, triggering a series of explosions. The leaks prompted fears the tunnel could collapse, police said. The accident and explosions took place around 11 a.m. in the 1.2-mile Skatestraum tunnel, which links two islands in the Sogn og Fjordane region north of Bergen. The driver said he had problems with his brakes in the deepest part of the tunnel, which is 299 feet below sea level. After the crash, he said he grabbed an emergency phone in the tunnel.

Port fills Waterfront Center As demand picks up, more commercial space is being considered nearby. By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — The Port of Everett’s Waterfront Center is completely occupied, more than 4 ½ years after opening. Demand has picked up so much that the port is considering adding more commercial space. Port of Everett Business Development Director Terrie

Batuello wants to capitalize on that demand by converting one of the building’s two meeting rooms into more office space to lease. “Having the building full has really created a buzz around here,” she said. “There’s activity late into the night.” The port’s newest tenant, All Ocean Services, moved into its 1,532-square-foot space — the size of a modest suburban home — last week, and Bluewater Organic Distilling opened its new restaurant and cocktail bar Saturday. Since opening in late 2010, the building has struggled to attract tenants for its roughly 43,500

square feet of office and retail space. The port spent $9.6 million to convert the former warehouse that stored equipment for oil spills into the waterfront’s marquee commercial building. However, the recession and sluggish recovery kept demand low for commercial real estate in the area. Last year, the building was still only two-thirds full. Port staff now are considering adding an adjacent building to attract additional marine services and retail businesses. Earlier this month, the Port Commission approved extending and expanding the lease for catamaran maker

ArrowCat Marine. There are plenty of boaters in the area. The port’s marina — the largest publicly owned marina on the West Coast — is 95 percent full. The new building would be built on the inland side of Waterfront Center, along 13th Street. Port staff members will evaluate the potential market and develop a leasing strategy before bringing any proposal to the Port Commission.

Robot hotel to open on Friday Associated Press SASEBO, Japan — From the receptionist that does the checkin and check-out to the porter that’s an automated trolley taking luggage up to the room, this hotel in southwestern Japan, aptly called Weird Hotel, is “manned” almost totally by robots to save labor costs. Hideo Sawada, who runs the hotel as part of an amusement park, insists using robots is not a gimmick, but a serious effort to utilize technology and achieve efficiency. The receptionist robot that speaks English is a vicious looking dinosaur, and the one that speaks Japanese is a female humanoid with blinking lashes. “If you want to check in, push one,” the dinosaur says. The visitor still has to punch a button on the desk, and type in information on a touch panel screen. Henn na Hotel, as it is called in Japanese, was shown off Wednesday, complete with robot demonstrations, ahead of its opening to the public Friday. Another feature of the hotel is the use of facial recognition technology, instead of the standard electronic keys, by registering the digital image of the guest’s face during check-in. The reason? Robots aren’t good at finding keys, if people happen to lose them. A giant robotic arm, usually seen in manufacturing, is encased in glass quarters in the corner of the lobby. It lifts one of the boxes stacked into the wall and puts it out through a space in the glass, where a guest can place an item in it, to use as a locker. The arm will put the box back into the wall, until the guest wants it again. The system is called “robot cloak room.” Why a simple coin locker won’t do isn’t the point. “I wanted to highlight innovation,” Sawada said. “I also wanted to do something about hotel prices going up.”

Amazon Prime sale is blasted by users as ‘lame’ It was billed as Black Friday in July, but some customers are saying the discounts offered for Amazon.com Inc.’s Prime Day are more like yard sale finds. Wednesday’s oneday sale, which celebrated Amazon’s 20th anniversary, has been called “lame” by customers in numerous tweets, with several saying the only useful thing they bought was Tupperware. The sale was available only to Prime members, who pay a $99 annual fee for free two-day shipping and access to entertainment like TV shows. Discounts for the event started at midnight and rolled out throughout the day.

FedEx reportedly plans big 767 deal FedEx is reportedly negotiating with Boeing to buy at least 25 767 freighters. The sale would be a big bump for the twin-engine airplane program, which has posted seven net orders since 2013. The program is buoyed by the U.S. Air Force’s order for 179 aerial refueling tankers based on the 767, which is assembled at Boeing’s Everett plant. Executives from the shipping company met in the Seattle area with Boeing representatives to discuss the deal, Bloomberg reported. FedEx already has 35 767-300 freighters on order. Adding another 25 would make the company the 767’s top all-time customer.

And they still can’t make beds. — Hideo Sawada, hotel developer

Staying at Henn na Hotel starts at $80, a bargain for Japan, where a stay in one of the nicer hotels can easily cost twice or three times that much. The concierge is a doll-like hairless robot with voice recognition that prattles breakfast and event information. It cannot call a cab or do other errands. Japan is a world leader in robotics technology, and the government is trumpeting robotics as a pillar of its growth strategy. Robots have long been used here in manufacturing. But interest is also high in exploring the potential of robots in human

interaction, including helping care for the elderly. Robotics is also key in the decommissioning of the three reactors in Fukushima, northern Japan, which went into meltdowns in 2011, in the worst nuclear catastrophe since Chernobyl. One area Henn na Hotel still relies on human beings is security. The place is dotted with security cameras, and real people are watching everything through a monitor to make sure guests stay safe and no one makes off with one of the expensive robots. “And they still can’t make beds,” said Sawada, who also has engineered the rise of a popular affordable Japanese travel agency. He has big ambitions for his robot hotel concept and wants to open another one soon in Japan, and later abroad. He is also eager to add other languages, such as Chinese and Korean, to the

robots’ vocabulary. A block-shaped robot that was scuttling around in the lobby had been brought in to do room service, delivering beverages and simple snacks. But it wasn’t ready to do that yet. Outdoors, Sawada also demonstrated a drone that flew in to deliver a few small jars filled with snacks. He said he wanted to eventually have drones perform in shows for guests. In the hotel’s rooms, a lampsize robot in the shape of a fat pink tulip called Tuly answers simple questions like, “What time is it?” and “What is the weather tomorrow?” You also can tell it to turn the room lights on or off. There are no switches on the walls. Sawada is keeping the hotel half-filled for the first few weeks to make sure nothing goes wrong. He also canceled at the last minute the overnight stay planned for media. The robots simply weren’t ready.

Delta abandons plan for jet purchases Delta Air Lines Inc. has abandoned plans to add at least $4 billion of Boeing and Embraer jets tied to a proposed contract agreement that was rejected by union pilots. The accord for 40 new Boeing 737-900ERs and 20 Embraer E190s is now off, Delta said Wednesday. Members of the Air Line Pilots Association at Delta, the least-unionized major U.S. carrier, spurned the labor deal last week. “Those orders will be canceled,” Chief Executive Officer Richard Anderson said without elaborating. Executives had refrained from commenting on its fleet strategy after pilots’ July 10 vote.

Parents plan to trim back-to-school buys Another survey on back-toschool shopping is out — this time showing that parents plan to trim spending this year compared to last. The average family with children in grades K-12 plans to spend $630 on electronics, apparel and other school needs, down from $669 last year, according to a survey by the National Retail Federation, conducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics. Total spending is expected to reach $24.9 billion. The category is growing — families have spent 42 percent more on back-toschool items over the past decade. When you include those costly college students along with K-12, overall spending balloons to $68 billion, NRF said. From Herald news services

in the mid-1970s, according to Planespotters.net. The average age of its planes is 27 years, compared with 6.3 years for Emirates, data on the website show. Decades of U.S. sanctions, which prohibited Airbus, Boeing and other Western manufacturers from selling to Iran’s airlines, led to an aging fleet of mainly Shah-era relics or jets purchased on the black market that now are in urgent need of repair and replacement. Safety is a concern following a rash of fatal air crashes. Iran needs about 400 passenger planes to renovate its fleets, which would cost $20 billion, Abbas Akhoundi, Iran’s roads and transport minister, said in mid-June at the Paris Air Show, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency. The country has about a dozen carriers. As Iranian travel takes off, there should be demand for 200 narrow-body aircraft orders and more than 250 wide-body and jumbo jets seating between 300 and 450 people, estimates Mark Martin, founder and CEO of Dubai’s Martin Consulting. Iran Air will need about 100 new aircraft, from the latest single-aisle planes to long-haul models such as Boeing’s 777, 787 Dreamliner and Airbus’ A330 and A350 jetliners, Chairman Farhad Parvaresh said in 2014. Both Boeing and Airbus declined to comment Tuesday on their plans to enter the Iranian market once trade barriers are lifted. “We’ve done a pretty good assessment on our side and we think the demand, should things open up, would be very strong,” Marty Bentrott, Boeing’s vice president of sales for the Middle East, Russia and Central Asia, said in May in Dubai. A freer Iranian market also could boost sales of regional jets made by Brazil’s Embraer, Canada’s Bombardier and new entrants such as Russia’s Sukhoi and Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China,

said Thomas Pellegrin, director at PricewaterhouseCoopers’s Aviation Center of Excellence research office in Dubai. What isn’t clear is how quickly the Iranian government will move to upgrade air travel given other demands on its capital for rebuilding sagging infrastructure, from oil refineries to air-traffic systems. “This is a state-controlled economy,” said Richard Aboulafia, an aerospace analyst with Teal Group, a Fairfax, Virginia, consultant. “It’s not exactly ripe for an Iranian version of EasyJet.” The forecasts for hundreds of orders “remain aspirational for now,” since the hospitality industry the airlines would feed barely exists, Pellegrin said. Multiyear waiting lists for popular models such as Airbus’ A350 and Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner, combined with the steep capital requirements of aircraft purchases, may prompt Iran’s carriers to lease jets rather than order new models, he said. Aboulafia is skeptical the large orders will ever materialize given the disadvantage Iran’s carriers face compared with rivals Emirates, Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways. “At most, there may be some opportunity for lessors to place some aircraft,” he said. “We aren’t opening up some sort of greenhouse that hasn’t seen the light for years. The demand has gone to the three big Gulf carriers, which all serve Tehran.” Even so, Iran’s unlocked oil revenues and dismal safety record will prompt its government to pursue new aircraft purchases regardless of the business case, said Pilarski, a former chief economist and director of strategic planning with McDonnell Douglas Corp., the planemaker Boeing bought in 1997. The country doesn’t have the maintenance capabilities to service large numbers of used, current-generation jets, and newly resurgent Iranian carriers won’t want to risk being banned in the European Union for a sub-par safety record, he added. “They are itching to have new equipment” after not having it “for a long, long, long time,” Pilarski said.

Pabst Brewing to return to Milwaukee Associated Press MILWAUKEE — Pabst Brewing Co. is returning home to Milwaukee. The Los Angeles-based beer company said Wednesday it will open a new brewery on the site of its original Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee. Pabst closed its Milwaukee brewery

nearly 20 years ago. Pabst plans to sign lease on a building within the former Pabst brewery complex near downtown Milwaukee and expects to open the brewery to the public in summer 2016. The microbrewery would brew many of Pabst’s pre-Prohibition brands as well as new craft beers inspired by recipes from the company’s archives.

Budget cuts lead to bad taxpayer service at IRS Associated Press WASHINGTON — The IRS provided poor customer service during this year’s tax filing season as taxpayers struggled with a rise in identity theft and complications related to President Barack Obama’s health law, a government watchdog said Wednesday. A new report by the National Taxpayer Advocate says the IRS has been hampered by budget cuts. The report says the IRS blocked nearly 1.6 million suspicious tax refunds this year because of concerns about identity theft. About a third of the refunds turned out to be legitimate, but for long stretches during tax season, fewer than 10 percent of callers could get through to an IRS help line. “For the majority of taxpayers who filed their returns and did not require IRS assistance, the filing season was generally successful,” said the report by Nina Olson. “For the segment of taxpayers who required help from the IRS, the filing season was by far the worst in memory,” the report said. “To a significant degree, the IRS’s shortcomings are budget-driven.” The taxpayer advocate is an independent office within the IRS. Overall, only 37 percent of people who called the IRS for help during tax season were able to reach a person, the report said. For those who got through, the average time on hold was 23 minutes. IRS help lines were so overloaded that the system hung up on 8.8 million callers, the report said. That’s a huge jump from last year,

By the numbers ■■ Refunds: 92 million. ■■ Average refund: $2,711. ■■ Total amount of refunds: $249 billion. ■■ Calls to IRS help lines: 50 million. ■■ Calls handled by automated phone system: 30 million. ■■ Callers seeking to talk to a person: 20 million. ■■ Callers reaching a person: 37 percent. ■■ Average time on hold: 23 minutes. ■■ Callers disconnected by IRS: 8.8 million. ■■ Returns from taxpayers who had health insurance: 94 million. ■■ Taxpayers receiving subsidies to help pay health premiums: 2.6 million. ■■ Total amount of subsidies claimed: $7.7 billion. ■■ Taxpayers who paid fines for not having insurance: 6.6 million. ■■ Average fine: $190. National Taxpayer Advocate

when the IRS hung up on 544,000 callers. The IRS calls the hangups “courtesy disconnects,” because the system hangs up early in the call, rather than making callers wait on hold, only to be disconnected later. “It is important to note that the IRS must carefully balance limited resources to meet its dual mission of providing taxpayer service

and enforcing the tax laws,” the IRS said. “With 75 percent of our budget being personnel, and one-third of our workforce providing taxpayer service, the continuing cuts to our budget have severely hampered our ability to provide taxpayers with the services they need and deserve.” The report by the taxpayer advocate noted that taxpayer services suffered just as Americans were faced with new requirements under the health law. For the first time, taxpayers had to say whether they had health insurance the previous year. Millions who received government subsidies to pay for premiums had to report those on their returns. Others who didn’t have health insurance had to pay fines. About 6.6 million taxpayers paid fines because they didn’t have health insurance, the report said. The fines averaged $190. About 2.6 million families said they received subsidies to help pay for premiums. The subsidies come in the form of tax credits. They averaged $3,000 per tax return, for a total of about $7.7 billion. Overall, the IRS has done “a commendable job” implementing the initial stages of the health law, despite budget cuts, the report said. Republicans in Congress adamantly oppose Obama’s health law, so some have been working to starve the IRS of funds just as its role in implementing the law ramps up. Congress has cut the agency’s budget by $1.2 billion since 2010, and House Republicans are proposing more cuts next year.

Opinion A9

THE DAILY HERALD

Franklin, Bader for council members. The actions by himself and others created a hostile work environment that led the county to settle a claim by three employees for $750,000. Gipson continues to deny the allegations against him and says he was targeted because of his position on the council. The investigation was thorough, interviewing all 76 employees of the center’s correction staff, a total of 171 interviews. Paul did not participate in an interview with the editorial board. But in a candidate profile in The Herald, Paul identified tax fairness as one of his interests in running and said he hoped to bring a dissenting voice to the council. Franklin earns the endorsement and deserves election based on what she can bring to the council and the city. Franklin, a member of the Everett Streets Initiative taskforce, is more than familiar with the initiative’s proposals and should be well prepared to help turn many of its recommendations into policy and action. Cocoon House, which Franklin has led since 2011, is one of the city’s success stories, each year sheltering more than 230 youths and offering other services to more than 1,500 youths and adults. Charity Navigator, which rates

nonprofits on management and use of donations, gives Cocoon House a four-star rating, scoring it 91 out of 100 for its financial practices and 92 out of 100 for its accountability and transparency. Franklin’s management skills and her empathy and understanding for the city’s youths will translate well to serving all of Everett and make her an effective member of the council. Position 5: Scott Bader has served on the council since 2012, after winning a special election to complete the term of Drew Nielsen, who died in a rafting accident. Josh Petersen, a web developer and programmer, was encouraged to run by the county Green Party. Charlene Rawson, an AT&T employee, has been active with the city’s Council of Neighborhoods, representing Port Gardner, and served on the county parks board and was a vice-chairwoman with the county Democratic Party. Petersen has intriguing ideas about direct democracy and believes the city should undertake a jobs program, but for the council the choice falls between Bader and Rawson. Rawson’s work with the Council of Neighborhoods would provide the council insight into better connecting

Everett’s disparate areas. She praised the role that the late Drew Nielsen played in his outreach to the neighborhoods group and we believe she would work to continue that. Rawson’s advocacy and enthusiasm for the city are clear. Bader, with only a partial term under his belt, is eager to continue his work and recognizes that there are needs that have not been met for south Everett residents, such as parks and expansion of the public library’s Evergreen Branch. Key to providing the necessary revenue, Bader said, will be the city’s continued effort to promote business and bring jobs to the city. A long-time advocate for Everett Transit, Bader also appears committed to continuing work on the Streets Initiative’s emphasis on homelessness and addiction issues but makes the key point that the county and its other cities have to be involved in implementing solutions to ensure its effectiveness. Bader defeated an impressive list of opponents in winning the seat in 2012, including current state Rep. June Robinson. Bader’s collaborative style on the council shows he was a good choice and deserves a full four-year term.

for emails). I raise this issue not only because of the lack of professionalism, but because it is symptomatic of the failures of John Lovick’s administration. The Lovick administration has time and again indicated that questions are not wanted or legitimate. Asking a question, or raising an issue, makes one the enemy. Oversight is not accepted. Other elected officials and the public are simply to say “yes, sir.” This was evident last year when the council was expected to rubber-stamp diverting tax dollars collected for the courthouse project to balance the budget. It was evident when the council and prosecutor questioned the legality of executive staff raises. It was evident when Ericks made similar unprofessional comments about other council members. The constant pattern is to attack anyone who raises questions, claim everything is political, and fail to address real issues. These actions show a lack of transparency, openness and collaboration with others. But more importantly they show the arrogance of power. That arrogance has led to millions in added courthouse project costs, spending the budget reserves down to dangerous levels, and a dysfunctional county government. I urge you to vote for change and open government Aug. 4. Vote for Dave Somers.

■■NUCLEAR DEAL

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■COUNTY COUNCIL

Lovick, Ericks are due apologies The Herald’s headline on July 7 noted: “Probe finds nothing wrong in deputy exec’s behavior.” However the headline could easily been: “Deputy exec’s Mark Ericks demands county staff give excellent customer service.” I have held off writing a letter to the editor, since I was waiting to praise Terry Ryan, Dave Somers and Ken Klein for their high ethics by publicly apologizing for taking Lovick’s and Ericks’ names down into the gutter. But they have not done this, so my letter is not to compliment these politicians, but to chastise them for trying to destroy two strong leaders and two great civil servants. Because of Somers’, Ryan’s and Klein’s thoughtlessness, Lovick and Ericks had to endure their good names being put on the lowest level with Aaron Reardon’s. It’s unconscionable for those three Musketeer politicians to try and do that to our executive and deputy executive! It’s plain why Somers cannot come out and apologize, since he is running against Lovick, and due to that he can’t let his major character assassination be deleted. But for the other two, that is Ryan and Klein, their error about both Lovick and Ericks should and must be publicly addressed by them. Are they just down-playing their error in hope the public will not know about Lovick’s and Ericks’ stance of mandating that all county employees give the residents great customer service? If this be the case, then shame on you two politicians! Or is it just simply if they admit their collective error their apparent candidate for county executive, Somers, will be shown in a negative light and that he is not the man for the job? We residents of Snohomish County are encouraging Ryan and Klein to take the high ground by standing up and admitting publicly, as the thorough investigation concluded, they were absolutely wrong about Lovick and Ericks.

■■COUNTY EXECUTIVE

Pattern of attack; lack of openness In 2013 I was a member of the Snohomish County Council. Key decisions were being made about the $100 millionplus courthouse project. I sent a series of questions about the project to the executive. I provided questions in advance instead of a “gotcha” for the first time in public session. The questions were reasonable and respectful. I indicated that I would accept the answers however the executive chose to respond. When Deputy Executive Mark Ericks was asked by staff how to respond, his answer was, “Shotgun, 12 ga., 4 rounds, #1 Buck or larger.” I was unaware of this until recently (see snocoreporter.com

IN OUR VIEW | Election 2015: Everett City Council

Everett voters will narrow their choices for two city council seats in the Aug. 4 primary election, ballots for which will be mailed today. The top two from each race will advance to the Nov. 3 general election. Position 4: Ron Gipson, with 20 years on the council, is the longest-serving current council member. He seeks a sixth, four-year term but is challenged by two candidates: Victor Paul, who has been employed in pest control and banking, identifies himself as a political outsider. Cassie Franklin is chief executive for Cocoon House, the Everettbased nonprofit agency that provides shelter and other services for homeless youth. Gipson, a corrections employee at Snohomish County’s Denney Juvenile Justice Center, considers himself the council’s representative for Everett’s “blue collar and no collar” working-class community and has been an advocate for seniors and paratransit and public transit services. However, Gipson’s record of service can’t withstand the outcome of an investigation concluded earlier this spring. Gipson and other center employees were found to have made sexually suggestive and racially inappropriate remarks to other staff

Editorial Board

U.S. snookered yet once again The Obama administration and the media are absolutely giddy over the Iran nuclear deal, but Israel understandably is not. When Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to Congress earlier this year, he said that any agreement should include stopping aggression against its neighbors in the Middle East, stop supporting terrorism around the world, and stop threatening to annihilate Israel. None of these issues were discussed or included in the final agreement. To add insult to injury, the U.S. at the last minute agreed to lifting the arms embargo and ban on ballistic missile technology. How would Americans react if Canada or Mexico, who had vowed to destroy our country, had just been given a green light to continue producing nuclear weapons that could enable them to accomplish that? The agreement also made no mention of the release of four Americans now being held by Iran. It sounds like the U.S. got snookered again, big time, but what difference does it make as long as it embellishes Obama’s precious legacy. Besides that, he or John Kerry might get the Nobel Peace Prize. Don Williamson Arlington

Nuclear deal is sound; Iran is bigger question

s the Iran nuclear talks neared the endgame, some observers worried that President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, in their eagerness for a deal, would give away the store with last-minute concessions. Those fears turned out to be misplaced, notwithstanding Tuesday’s howls of protest from Israeli and GOP critics. The agreement is a well-crafted DAVID IGNATIUS pact that maintains the framework reached in Lausanne in April. Rather than softening the Lausanne terms, the final language firms up some squishy items. It also adds important new restrictions on Iran’s ability to develop the exotic triggering mechanisms needed to build a nuclear bomb. The problem isn’t the agreement, but Iran itself. Its behavior remains defiantly belligerent, even as it signs an accord pledging to be peaceful. Its operatives subvert neighboring regimes, even as their front companies are about to be removed from the sanctions lists. The agreement welcomes Iran to the community of nations, even though its leader proclaims that Iran is a revolutionary cause. Obama argues that dealing with a menacing Iran will be easier if the nuclear issue is off the table for the next 10 years. He’s probably right, but the Iran problem won’t vanish with this accord. Having played the dealmaker, Obama must now press Iran to become a more responsible neighbor. The big bet Obama is making is that Iran is more likely to evolve if it’s open to the world than if it remains closed and isolated. There is historical evidence to support this view, including the demise of the Soviet Union and the evolution of modern China. But those countries also offer a warning that diplomatic agreements can be a prelude to cold peace and even outright conflict. A deal with Iran has been Obama’s overriding foreign-policy goal since Inauguration Day. He has paid a heavy cost to protect his Iran peacemaking, sidestepping confrontation with Hezbollah in Syria and Russia in Ukraine, in part because he saw the Iran deal as a higher priority. Obama explained his logic Tuesday morning: “Put simply, no deal means a greater chance of more war in the Middle East.” Historians will have to judge whether he has gained more than he lost. The Iranian regional threat was at the heart of the eleventh-hour debate over whether to lift a U.N. embargo on sales of arms and missile technology to Tehran. This issue was finessed with an agreement to maintain the arms-sale ban for up to five years and the missile limits for up to eight years. That wasn’t the capitulation some had feared. And it allows for review of Iranian behavior. The final agreement put in writing the framework that Kerry had negotiated this spring in Switzerland. The Iranians agreed to cap their enrichment and stockpile of uranium at relatively low levels. The 20-page text and the technical annexes support Obama’s claim that the agreement will prevent Iran from building a bomb for at least the next decade. The danger, argues Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is that after 10 years, Iran will have “a sure path to nuclear weapons.” Iran pledged in the agreement that its nuclear aspirations are perpetually peaceful. But even if you assume (prudently) that the Iranians are lying, the Obama administration makes a good case that it will be easier with the agreement than without it to detect and stop an eventual Iranian breakout. Heading into the final days of talks, the crucial issue was verification. Obama claimed Tuesday that International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors would have access “where necessary, when necessary.” That’s not as strong a commitment as “anywhere, anytime,” and the formula for the IAEA’s “managed access” is complicated. What gives it teeth is that neither Russia, China nor Iran can block inspections. The U.S. and its European partners can prevail, if there is a dispute. In the wake of the agreement, Netanyahu called Tuesday “one of the darkest days in world history.” Republican politicians made similar strident attacks, but the critics appeared to be outliers. The pact has the support of most major nations. Even Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates offered measured comments. Obama seems to have won this round. Netanyahu and his GOP allies are indignant about the deal, but they are taking on the world. David Ignatius’ email address is davidignatius@washpost.com.

House admits defeat, OKs road bill extension The Washington Post WASHINGTON — After years of promises to find new cash for roads and transit systems, the House on Wednesday admitted failure once more, voting to use a hodgepodge of money to extend the current bill until just before Christmas. The debate on the House floor quickly descended into the partisan bickering that has characterized the discussion regardless of

which party has had control of the House or Senate. At its core: There never has been agreement on how to replenish a fund that gets its money from the federal gas tax. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., whose larger vision includes an overhaul of the corporate tax structure to help pay for transportation, said approval of the 34th highway fund extension in six years would buy time for

completion of a long-term bill. “We believe we have a chance to write a multiyear transportation bill,” Ryan said. “We know we’re not going to write that bill in two weeks. Yes, we knew this was coming, but it takes a while to do things like rewrite international tax law.” Unless Congress acts before the current extension expires July 31, states that are relying on federal money to pay for highway

projects this summer will be left in the lurch. But a five-month extension leaves them in a quandary: Should they embark on multiyear bridge, highway or transit projects without confidence of federal funding beyond Dec. 18? The House action appeared intended to preempt the Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has run into opposition from fellow Republicans in his attempt to muscle through

a long-term transportation bill before the July 31 deadline. In keeping with ritual, the phrase “kicking the can down the road” was invoked almost a dozen times in the House on Wednesday. “If kicking the can down the road were an Olympic sport, here in the United States Congress we would win bronze, we would win silver and we would win aluminum, for kicking the can,” Rep. Alcee Hastings,

D-Fla., said. Rep. Rob Woodall, R-Ga., said he was reassured by promises from Ryan and House Transportation Committee Chairman Bill Shuster, R-Pa., that with five more months “we could do it right.” Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., responded that Republicans said the same thing a year ago, when they pushed for an extension to this past May 31, and again in May when they argued for an extension to July 31.

$600K: Lack of staffing, number of requests blamed From Page A1

In emails to deputy Charles Carrell, the sheriff’s office cited a lack of staffing and the fatal Oso mudslide for the delays. The slide prompted a large volume of public records requests. The deputy remains employed in the county jail, sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. Carrell’s 2010 request was for five years of county emails to and from the corrections officers guild’s vice president. Carrell was worried about being retaliated against because of conflicts within union leadership,

he wrote. He served as the union president from 2005 to 2008 and claimed the new vice president was too close with Lovick. The sheriff’s office did not respond to Carrell’s initial request for seven business days. State law requires a response within five business days. Carrell sent numerous emails asking about the status of his unfilled request, then started calling the sheriff’s office every six months to check back, according to the lawsuit. In March 2014, Carrell was told he would get the records by the end of April. The deadline was missed,

as were several others; he received his first CD of records in August 2014. That CD didn’t work right and only eight emails were visible, the suit says. Much of those were blacked out, with the sheriff’s office citing attorney-client privilege for the redactions. Carrell argued that the sheriff’s office didn’t follow state law in justifying the exemptions. A second installment was issued in December, and a third in March, according to the lawsuit. The sheriff’s office determined that more than 3,000 emails were responsive to Carrell’s request. Documents provided Wednesday don’t say

how many of those have been released. When Carrell filed a claim against the county in March, he argued that responsive records still had not been provided. He accused the sheriff’s office of acting “in bad faith” and being deceptive for closing his initial request and opening a new one without asking him. A lawsuit followed in King County Superior Court. The settlement was signed June 30 and made public Wednesday in response to a public records request by The Herald. Both parties agreed not to discuss the

settlement in public. The same deputy in 2006 accused the county of retaliating against him for union activities. In that case, the state Public Employment Relations Commission dismissed most of the claim. Snohomish County reached a record $3.9 million last year in payouts for legal settlements. Of that, at least $670,000 was related to the handling of public records requests. The sheriff’s public disclosure unit for years has been plagued by backlogs and delays. It is common for requests to take months before records are disclosed.

At the same time they must respond to far-reaching requests that add up to thousands of documents. Such was the case of the man who demanded the office provide him copies “in whatever form available, of each and every document in your agency’s possession of any and every kind whatsoever without exception or limitation except as provided by narrow exception of law.” His request stretched from that day — Nov. 18 — all the way back to July 4, 1776.

Beer: Years of hard work From Page A1

The Route 2 Taproom quickly followed suit. It opened earlier this month with almost 30 craft beers, ciders and nitros at 19837 U.S. 2. Jeff Dickinson provides the taproom’s food, including barbecue ribs, pulled pork, brisket, chicken, through his business, Hook & Ladder BBQ. He said the rise in popularity of craft beers in Monroe has made it possible for him to go into the restaurant business full time after years of smoking meats as a

side job. For Huskey, opening the brewery took years of hard work, planning and perfecting his craft beers. The military veteran, 43, compares the wherewithal it took to get his business up and running to becoming an Army Ranger. With investments of time and money from family and friends, Huskey was able to secure a space for his brewery, a taproom, a full kitchen and a familyfriendly dining space at 16726 146th St. SE, Suite 153. He opened with five

beers on tap: a blonde ale, California-style pale ale, Northwest-style IPA, an oatmeal stout and an imperial oatmeal stout. Eventually, Huskey plans to have 10 of his own beers, two guest taps and his vanilla root beer, ginger ale and sarsaparilla available. He expects to produce 39 barrels, more than 1,200 gallons, of beer a month. “Our goal is to make beers that are good. Nothing fancy. Just good, solid brew,” Huskey said.

‘Sad and ‘happy’ welcome for crash survivor By Martha Bellisle and Gene Johnson Associated Press

SEATTLE — Ground search crews headed to the wreckage Wednesday of a small airplane that crashed into a Washington mountainside over the weekend, while the teenager who survived the impact and hiked her way off the rugged slope was recovering at home. Searchers under the direction of the Skagit County Sheriff’s Office left at 8 a.m. Wednesday, but no positive identification can be made of the plane or its occupants until crews reach the site, said Barbara LaBoe, a Washington state Transportation Department spokeswoman. Survivor Autumn Veatch, 16, has said Leland and Sharon Bowman of Marion, Montana, her step-grandparents, did not survive the Saturday crash. She provided searchers with clues to the location of the wreckage. The plane piloted by Leland Bowman was bringing her home from a Montana visit. A different set of searchers Wednesday located what was believed to be the wreckage of an airplane that took off from Minnesota with two people on board who were scheduled to arrive at Orcas Island on Saturday. Officials said they haven’t made a positive identification of the plane or the occupants found east of Bellingham, but there did not appear to be any survivors. Veatch was released Tuesday evening from Three Rivers Hospital in Brewster and arrived home in Bellingham shortly before midnight. Family friends

had gathered in anticipation of a happy homecoming, bringing balloons and flowers to the apartment of the teen’s father, David Veatch. “We just want to show her and her family that we care and we love her,” said one friend, Amber Shockey. She added that Veatch had said “she was happy to be coming home.” “I mean all in one, it’s pretty much sad and happy,” Shockey said. “It’s everything. It’s astonishing that she could do this.” Bruised by the impact, singed by the fire that accompanied the crash, fearing an explosion and knowing she couldn’t help the other victims, Autumn Veatch headed down the steep slope, following a creek to a river. She spent a night on a sand bar and sipped small amounts of the flowing water, worrying she might get sick if she drank more. She followed the river to a trail, and the trail to a highway. Two men driving by stopped and picked her up Monday afternoon, bringing her — about two full days after the crash — to the safety of a general store in tiny Mazama, near the east entrance of North Cascades National Park. “We crashed, and I was the only one that made it out,” she told a 911 operator, after a store employee called for her. “I have a lot of burns on my hands, and I’m kind of covered in bruises and scratches and stuff.” Later she managed to joke from her hospital bed about how it was a good thing her dad made her watch the television show “Survivor.” According to Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers, who had

interviewed Veatch and relayed details of her ordeal to The Associated Press, the Beechcraft A-35 was flying over north-central Washington on its way from Kalispell, Montana, to Lynden, Washington, when it entered a cloud bank. Then the clouds suddenly parted, and from her seat behind the cockpit, Veatch could see the mountain and trees ahead. Leland Bowman tried to pull up — to no avail.

They struck the trees and the plane plummeted to the ground and caught fire. “She tried to do what she could to help her grandparents, but she couldn’t because of the fire,” Rogers said. Autumn Veatch’s boyfriend, Newton Goss, 16, said he and Autumn were texting back and forth when his final text to her failed to go through, he said. Later, he heard about the

missing plane. “I had all the hope in the world that she was going to make it out fine,” he said. Goss said Tuesday he had spoken to Autumn several times since her ordeal. “She wanted McDonald’s. How do you go through that situation and just go, ‘I really want McDonald’s right now’?” he said. “She’s being really light-hearted like she usually is with me. That’s reassuring.”

5 hurt in blast at Zodiac Aerospace plant Ferries By Nicholas K. Geranios Associated Press

SPOKANE — An explosion rocked an aerospace plant in northeast Washington, toppling large pieces of machinery, lifting an entire floor off its foundation and seriously injuring five people, authorities said Wednesday. The sheer power of the blast Tuesday night and the shrapnel it created caused the majority of the damage, and little to no fire ignited at Zodiac Aerospace in the small town of Newport, said Brian Schaeffer, assistant chief of the Spokane Fire Department who responded to the scene. Zodiac also operates facilities in Snohomish County. “The energy from that explosion went through that building almost like a tidal wave and destroyed or impacted everything in its path,” he said. Schaeffer said the blast peeled open huge metal roll-up doors and led multiple places to collapse in the large commercial building in the town 50 miles north of Spokane, along the Idaho border. Thirty people were inside the plant, but most escaped with help from emergency systems that worked properly, including a

sprinkler system, Schaeffer said. Two people were critically injured and three were seriously injured, whether from the pressure of the blast or penetrating injuries from shrapnel, Schaeffer said. Two victims went to Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane. One was in critical condition in intensive care and the other was in the orthopedic unit in satisfactory condition, according to an administrative supervisor.

The blast stemmed from vapors released during chemical manufacturing, but there was no more danger to the surrounding area, said Schaeffer, who responded with a hazardous-materials team. The chemicals are used to make fireresistant components for aircraft interiors, he said. Officials were trying to stop runoff from reaching a nearby river after water lines ruptured and the sprinkler system activated and then broke, prompting

concerns that the water mixed with chemicals, he said. Several thousand gallons of water per minute were flowing after the blast, but much of it likely was absorbed into the ground, Schaeffer said. Environmental regulators were responding. Calls rang unanswered at the Zodiac plant Wednesday morning. A woman who answered the telephone at the company’s facility in Marysville said they were not commenting on the explosion. Zodiac Aerospace is a French company that makes aircraft components around the world. Schaeffer said the plant is one of the largest employers in the town, located in the depressed northeastern corner of Washington. “It’s pretty devastating to that area,” he said. Volunteer firefighter Christopher Demlow told Spokane news station KHQ-TV that the blast shook his home, located three blocks from the plant. “It shook every window in the house,” he said in an on-air interview. “We saw a big plume of smoke coming up from the factory area.”

grounded for repair Associated Press

OLYMPIA. — During the height of the busiest ferry season, one of Washington State Ferries mid-sized vessels will be out for repairs for the next four months. Washington ferries spokesman Ian Sterling says the Elwha is going to be out for extensive repairs to a drive motor. The 48-year-old Elwha serves Anacortes and the San Juan Islands. KING-TV reports that the 124-car Kitsap ferry will take Elwha’s place until further notice. Already the ferries Tacoma and Kaleetan are out until September for scheduled maintenance. And it’s possible the Puyallup could be out of service next week for scheduled maintenance as well. Sterling says they’re working on a long-term plan since the Elwha will be out of service all summer.

Barge that will haul tsunami debris arrives in Alaska By Becky Bohrer Associated Press

JUNEAU, Alaska — A barge that will be used to haul away tons of marine debris — some likely from the 2011 tsunami in Japan — from Alaska shores arrived at Kodiak on Wednesday. The project, massive in scope, will involve removing heavy-duty bags of debris cached above the high-tide line on remote beaches and stockpiled at a storage site in Kodiak, as well as materials collected this year. From Kodiak, the barge is scheduled to make additional stops as it heads to Seattle, where debris will be sorted for recycling. Remaining debris will be sent by train for disposal in Oregon. Depending on the tides, crews using dump trucks hoped to

finish loading the bags from the Kodiak storage site Wednesday and send the barge off by evening, ahead of a planned project kickoff event in Kodiak on Thursday, state Department of Environmental Conservation spokeswoman Candice Bressler said. Bressler watched as the barge came in Wednesday morning. She called it majestic. “It looked like it’s coming to town to save the day and get all of this stuff out of Alaska,” she said. The scope of the project is virtually unheard of in Alaska. It is being funded in part with $900,000 the state received from its share of a $5 million gift from Japan for parts of the U.S. affected by debris from the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The disaster killed thousands

of people in Japan. Gulf of Alaska Keeper, a cleanup organization which is coordinating the project, has committed $100,000. Crews in British Columbia will be able to add debris as the barge passes through, contributing to the cost of the project if they do. Gulf of Alaska Keeper president Chris Pallister has estimated the project cost at up to $1.3 million. It was spurred in part by the amount of material that has washed ashore and the high cost of shipping small boatloads of debris from remote sites to port, Pallister has said. Alaska’s tsunami marine debris coordinator has said an Anchorage landfill requirement that the common debris items of fishing nets and lines be chopped up also was problematic.

Golf returns to its place of birth, St. Andrews By Tim Dahlberg Associated Press

JOHN FROSCHAUER / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gar-gantuan task

Mariners batting coach Edgar Martinez watches from the dugout during a game against the Los Angeles Angels this past Friday in Seattle.

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — This season has been so trying for Mike Zunino, the Seattle Mariners’ 24-year-old catcher, that he can only laugh about how much time he’s spent in the batting cage trying to find a way to push his batting average within shouting distance of the Mendoza line. “I should probably just have a bed in there,” Zunino cracked before a game last week. “I’m usually in there all the time.” And with a different approach now, as Zunino and the rest of the Mariners hitters have new, intriguing company as they try to boost the team’s meager offensive output. The Mariners have played 21 games since naming Edgar Martinez their new hitting coach on June 20, replacing Howard Johnson with one of the most revered batsmen in franchise history.

M’s icon Edgar Martinez is the latest to take on the job of turning around a perennially poor offense ... and the early returns are positive Martinez had spent the season working with hitters in the Mariners’ minor-league system, including frequent trips to Cheney Stadium to help teach hitting to the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers. He also spent the past few seasons as a guest instructor at spring training. Early returns from Martinez’s first few weeks with the bigleague club are positive.

Or, more accurately: Martinez himself is simply a positive guy. “When you get a new guy in there, it’s going to be different. He’s got a different kind of dynamic,” said shortstop Brad Miller, who is hitting .247 with eight home runs this season. “He’s obviously still getting his bearings, but one thing I take away is the positivity. “He knows it’s hard. He knows

it’s a mental game. That it’s a game of failure. But he’s just so positive with it, and I really like that.” Zunino, who has become one of Martinez’s primary projects, has more room for improvement than any player on the roster.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Teachers led a gaggle of preschoolers in bright yellow slickers through the rain Wednesday on a field trip that had nothing to do with the golf about to take place just a well struck 3-wood away. Up the street, tourists gawked at the ruins of St. Andrews Castle, built in the 13th century on the edge of the North Sea and destroyed and rebuilt several times as the Scots and English battled over control of land that would one day become the most hallowed in a game that had yet to be invented. There’s nothing in golf quite like the birthplace of golf, the venerable Old Course at St. Andrews, where Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth and 154 others will tee it up Thursday in the British Open. There’s also nothing like a town of 16,000 so integrated with the course that it is closed and turns into a park every Sunday, where people bring their dogs to walk the ancient fairways or cross down to the chilly beach below. Step off the 18th green at St. Andrews, and there’s a row of pubs, hotels and golf shops just a short chip away. Things are so close that players teeing off on the 17th hole actually aim over the Old Course Hotel — where the rooms are named after Open champions — to try and hit the narrow fairway. During Open week it’s not unusual to see some of the best players in the world in local restaurants or just out for a walk. Late Tuesday evening, Bernhard Langer and his family strolled about, glancing over across the street where golf fans spilled out into the streets with pints of beer from the Dunvegan Hotel and pub. The pub was especially crowded on this night because word was Arnold Palmer was going to make an appearance, like he did the last time the Open was here in 2010. The king never arrived, though his wife, Kit, did stop by. Want to see a piece of golf history? The British golf museum sits behind the 18th green, with displays of golf memorabilia dating back to the game’s origins here.

AquaSox back home after successful road trip to Boise Missing a few top players, Everett took four out of five games from the Hawks. By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

EVERETT — As well as the Everett AquaSox have played so far this season, even they’re susceptible to the occasional lull. But in Everett’s case, that lull didn’t last that long. The Sox got their game straightened back out on the road as they took four of five from their just-completed series against the Boise Hawks. “It went well,” Sox manager Rob Mummau said about the series in Boise. “We had a couple close games where they battled

It was a familiar formula for Everett as the Sox, who went into Wednesday as the highestscoring team in the Northwest League, slugged their way past the Hawks, scoring 35 runs in the five contests. That was more than twice the 17 runs Boise managed in the series. “The whole team played great,” said Sox first baseman Ryan Uhl, who drove in a team-leading eight runs in the series, including his first home run as a professional. “We hit, we pitched, we played defense. We just played team baseball.” The Sox managed it despite missing several key players. Three

Loyd leads Storm over Sparks 68-61 Associated Press SEATTLE — Jewell Loyd scored 13 points and Seattle ended a five-game losing streak with a 68-61 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks on Wednesday. Crystal Langhorne added 12 points and Ramu Tokashiki had 10 for Seattle (4-12). Three of the Storm’s four victories have come against the Sparks (2-11), who are winless in seven road games. Los Angeles didn’t have its two current leading scorers — Nneka Ogwumike and Kristi Toliver — in the first two losses. Jewell Loyd The Sparks hit 11 of their first 15 shots to open up a 31-19 lead, but they were done in by too many turnovers. Los Angeles had 25 miscues that led to 26 points for the Storm. Marianna Tolo scored five straight for the Sparks to cut their deficit to 64-59 in the fourth, but Sue Bird hit a jumper and added two free throws in the final 1:31 to seal the win. Ogwumike finished with 12 points, Temeka Johnson 11 and Toliver 10 for L.A.

rought conditions are starting to impact the state’s fish and wildlife. The dry conditions have forced the state Department of Fish and Wildlife to restrict some fishing opportunities and make changes in regulations, all in order to protect at-risk fish populations. An example is the sockeye run currently headed up the Wenatchee River to Lake Wenatchee. It’s a big run and both anglers and salmon managers for the state expected an excellent recreational summer fishery on the lake, with the scheduled season opener set for this Saturday. It probably will still be a fine season, but the opener has been pushed back because sockeye are holding in the Columbia and/or the Wenatchee rivers. Water temperatures apparently have become too high for the salmon’s comfort zone, and the fish are staying put instead of traveling up Tumwater Canyon to the lake. State biologist Travis Maitland in Leavenworth said the sockeye count over Tumwater Dam had been running 1,000 fish per day or so, but fell off significantly last week. “So as of now (Tuesday) we have about 5,000 sockeye in the lake and we need at least 20,000 more to accommodate spawning needs and a recreational season,” Maitland said, “There’s a bunch of fish in the river and I’m confident we’ll get a lot more than the 20,000 we need, but we don’t know just when.” Ironically, the Tumwater counts are well ahead of last year, Maitland said. The 2014 season proved to be a good one, but didn’t open until July 26. “We could be looking at a

An entertaining day for waterfowlers, or anyone who enjoys watching retrievers at work, comes to the Monroe area Saturday in the form of the Washington State Duck Calling Contests and the third annual National Duck Dog Challenge. The events are sponsored by the Washington Waterfowl Association. The calling contests start at 9 a.m. and include Junior Duck (12 and under), PeeWee Duck (7 and under), Open Duck, Open Goose, State Duck, State Goose and Two-person Duck, in that order. For more information, contact Rone Brewer at 206-595-7481 or nwducks@frontier.com. The National Duck Dog Challenge is a hoot. It’s open to amateurs and pros alike, and any

similar scenario this year, or perhaps on toward the traditional opener, which was often the first week in August,” he said. The state release postponing the Lake Wenatchee opener will be posted on the agency’s website, www.wdfw.wa.gov/fishing, as will the announcement of the new opening date. The state also curtailed fishing on a section of the Sol Duc River to protect returning chinook, and closed fishing for spring chinook on the Grande Ronde River because of low river flows. The state probably will need to restrict others, release some hatchery fish early, and transport salmon and steelhead that are unable to make it upstream to spawning grounds, according to Teresa Scott, the state’s drought coordinator. Anglers are being asked to fish the morning hours to reduce stress on the fish, to land the fish quickly, and to immediately return fish to be released back to the water. The public is urged to report sightings of stranded fish, or other wildlife distressed by drought, by visiting http://wdfw. wa . gov/conservation/drought.

Saturday. He and a buddy fished Monday, landing five fish and losing one, and had a dozen or more hits that didn’t hook. He said the wait at the Swift Creek Campground ramp was almost nil (this was a weekday), and that there were probably 100 boats fishing the upper portion of the lake. “There are tons of fish around,” John said, “plenty of sockeye. The boats were roughly split between the north (left) shoreline going uplake from Swift Creek, and the south shoreline, over the old Baker River channel. The bite seemed to come on between 9 and 11 a.m., at 45 to 60 feet or so. Later in the morning, the fish seemed to move out, away from the shoreline, and go a little deeper.” John said the most productive rig was a size “0” big ring dodger in 50-50 or purple haze, 12 to 14 inches of 40-pound fluorocarbon leader, a Smile blade and a 11⁄2- or 2-inch UV squid. These should be on a double tie of 1/0 or 2/0 hooks in red, pink or glow, and with a chunk of pink shrimp on the top hook. As of Sunday, the total number of sockeye trapped at Baker Dam was 14,700, already more than last year’s total of 13,788 and the 2013 total of 12,534. The counts fell off a little Saturday (656) and Sunday (496) after several days of more than 1,000 fish.

Crab Local crab manager Don Velasquez at the state’s Mill Creek office said the first couple of weeks of the summer recreational crab season have gone “pretty well,” especially in Marine Areas 8-1 and 8-2. “Those two areas have been producing a lot of limits,” he said.

Reports tend to indicate crabbing better than “pretty well.” In fact, some are calling it “hot” at spots such as Hat Island, the east shoreline of Whidbey Island both north and south of Holmes Harbor, and from Edmonds to the shipwreck, among others. Marine Areas 10 and 11 (Seattle and the south Sound) have been “OK,” Velasquez said, and the south part of Hood Canal rates “poor,” as predicted. Good summer crabbing in local waters 8-1 and 8-2, however, could translate to a shorter winter season or possibly no winter season at all, depending on how close the harvest comes to the recreational quota. The summer season switches to winter on Oct. 1, and Velasquez said no decision will be made on the winter season until late harvest data is analyzed in September.

Speedcrabbing results Eddie Adams’ event, “Speedcrabbing For A Cure,” benefitting the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, came off without a hitch Saturday at the Port of Everett ramp, blowing last year’s stats out of the water. Some 27 teams competed, up from 18 last year; 468 pounds of crab were weighed in, up from 280 pounds last year; sponsor donations came to $1,521, up from $705 last year; team donations stand at $1,579 and are still not final, for a grand total to this point of $3,100 to the Cancer Care Alliance-Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, UW Medicine, and Seattle Children’s Hospital. The derby lunker weighed 2.59 pounds, the average crab weighed 1.79 pounds, and a total of 262 crab were caught. Taking first place was Team Carpe Cancer, with 10 crab weighing 19.5 pounds; second, Team Pot-y Trained, with 10 crab weighing 18.188 pounds; third, White Family Crabslayers, with 10 crab weighing 17.93 pounds adjusted, and fourth, Dungeness Dreadnaughts, with 10 crab weighing 18.056 pounds.

Kids and bass Got a kid who needs to be taught how to fish? One of the best spots around is the face of O’Sullivan Dam on Potholes Reservoir in Grant County. Smallmouth bass around the rock rip-rap on the dam’s face are thick as fleas, feisty and willing to take on any motor-oil-colored curlytail jig thrown anywhere in their vicinity. They weigh a pound or two on the average, but fight larger than their size. For more information, call MarDon Resort at 509-346-2651.

Canadians top Frogs, snap skid Tonight’s Game

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

EVERETT — The Vancouver Canadians’ losing streak is over. Vancouver snapped a ninegame skid by defeating the Everett AquaSox 5-4 Wednesday night at Everett Memorial Stadium. The score was tied 3-3 going into the eighth inning. In the top of the eighth Vancouver’s Carl Wise led off with a double, then slid home just under the tag following Sean Hurley’s single to center, giving the Canadians the lead. Vancouver tacked on an insurance run in the ninth when, with two out, Gabriel Cenas popped a triple into the left-field corner and scored on Andrew Guillotte’s single to right. Everett rallied for a run in the bottom of the ninth, but was unable to tie it back up. Guillotte finished with three hits and Justin Atkinson doubled twice to lead Vancouver (9-18). Brandon Hinkle earned the win on the mound with three scoreless innings of relief. Andrew Case tossed the final two innings to pick up his league-leading fifth save. Jordan Cowan reached base five times and Logan Taylor

doubled twice for Everett (1710), which had a three-game winning streak snapped. Vancouver was all over Everett starting pitcher Darin Gillies in the top of the first inning. Atkinson and Lane Thomas hit back-to-back RBI doubles to the wall, then Thomas came around on a pair of wild pitches, staking the Canadians to a 3-0 lead. Everett clawed back with a run in the third and two more in the fourth. Cowan came home on a passed ball to get the Sox on

Starting pitcher Luiz Gohara has rejoined the Sox. The 18-year-old phenom from Brazil was promoted to Clinton of the mid single-A Midwest League last weekend, but he’s back in Everett after making a spot start for the LumberKings. The left-hander took the loss in his start against Peoria on Monday, allowing two runs in 42⁄3 innings, walking five and striking out four.

But others picked up the slack. In addition to Uhl, the Sox received a nice boost from Yordi Calderon. Used primarily as a backup first baseman before the injuries hit, Calderon went 4-for-11 in three starts in Boise, belting a pair of homers, scoring five runs and driving in four. “Yeah, guys stepped up,” Mummau said. “Yordi Calderon hit a couple home runs the other night, he’s one of the guys who’s really stepping up in key situations. (Reserve infielder Rafael) Fernandez had three hits the other night. That’s always good to see, and hopefully we can keep it going.”

Not only are the Sox now on a roll, they’re expecting to get their missing players back soon. Gohara has already returned from Clinton, while Liberato, Jackson and Quevedo are expected to return in the next few days. Just 12 games remained in the first half of the Northwest League season heading into Wednesday, and the Sox held a three-game lead over Tri-City atop the North Division. If Everett continues its roll, clinching the first-half division title and an automatic playoff spot could come with plenty of room to spare.

The Wolves obtained Bjelica, 27, in 2010 through a draft-day trade of late picks with the Washington Wizards. The native of Serbia has played the five seasons since then in Europe, until the Wolves signed him last week to a three-year, $11.7 million contract.

Road won’t be renamed for Johnson

Associated Press

Herald news services PHOENIX — Organizers have canceled plans to temporarily put newly elected baseball Hall of Famer Randy Johnson’s name on a Phoenix freeway, which is permanently named for an Arizona soldier killed in combat during the Iraq war. Johnson wore No. 51 while playing for the Arizona Diamondbacks, and Gov. Doug Ducey had planned to participate in an event Friday to unveil signage for State Route 51 honoring Johnson. The Diamondbacks announced the cancellation in a news release late Tuesday, saying concerns expressed by Pfc. Lori Piestewa’s family were understandable. Piestewa was killed during the same Iraqi Army attack in which her friend Jessica Lynch was injured and captured. A member of the Hopi tribe, Piestewa was the first Native American woman in history to die in combat while serving with the U.S. military and the first woman in the U.S. armed forces killed in the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The team says none of the organizers wanted to pursue the event, noting that Johnson has visited troops overseas and is working with Wounded Warriors. Johnson’s Hall of Fame induction is scheduled for July 26.

All-Star ratings The Major League Baseball All-Star Game Tuesday night averaged 6.6 percent of homes, an all-time low by that measure, and 10.91 million viewers, slightly ahead of the record low of 10.90 million set in 2012. The 6.6 rating is less than a quarter of the 28.5 the 1970 game in Cincinnati drew, but that was a different media world, and even in this one baseball’s All-Star Game remains the most highly rated among the four major North American team sports.

Kansas City topped all markets with 31.7 percent of homes tuning in.

appearances in which he strikes out. And three weeks is probably too small of a sample size to judge the impact of a first-year hitting coach. So, say this for the Mariners’ young, struggling hitters: they’re trying, and so is Martinez. “The key is for them to stay positive and keep working,” Martinez said. “There’s still the second half of the year, just working on the positive and the opportunity they have to get better. So that’s basically the message.” Zunino said Martinez applies a simplified approach to hitting: find the right swing while hitting off a tee, bring the same cut to the batting cage, then replicate it again during the game. “It’s just taking the same swing consistently, over and over and over again,” Zunino said. “Hitting off the tee, working in the cage, working in BP, and letting that come in and translating into the game. And with that it’s just trying to keep the bat in the zone as long as you can, and just trusting that swing so there’s no panic (if) the ball’s in or out. You can just take a nice, easy swing to it.” What about the midseason coaching change? “It’s one of those things where obviously the personalities are different,” Zunino said. “You could have been working on one thing with somebody and somebody else comes in and sees something a little bit different. So you’ve just got to take it for what it is. Obviously, both HoJo and Edgar know a lot about the game and a lot about hitting, so there’s a lot of knowledge you can take from both of them and apply it.” Outfielder Dustin Ackley — who, coincidentally or not, has raised his season batting average from .184 to .221 in the time since Martinez’s promotion — said it was easier to adapt to Martinez’s presence because he’s spent so much time around the franchise in recent years. “It’s been an easy transition for everybody, because he’s an awesome guy and he knows what he’s doing,” Ackley said. Oh, and also: “It’s easy to listen to a guy who has a street named after him. It’s easy to buy into that.”

Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant (88) signed a five-year $70 million contract, with $45 million guaranteed.

Houston, Bryant and Thomas cash in By Arnie Stapleton Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Kansas City Chiefs ended up with a big bargain the last time they signed Justin Houston. This time, it’s the star linebacker who’s cashing in. Houston became the highest-paid linebacker in NFL history Wednesday when he agreed to a six-year, $101 million contract, over half of which is guaranteed, hours before the Wednesday deadline for players who had franchise tags to sign long-term deals. “I want to be known as one of the best to ever play the game, that’s my motivation, I just want to be great at what I do,” Houston said after signing a contract that was more than 30 times the value of his rookie contract. Star receivers Dez Bryant and the Dallas Cowboys and Demaryius Thomas of the Denver Broncos both agreed to a five-year, $70 million contracts just before the deadline. Patriots kicker Stephen Gostowksi’s agent also was working on a last-minute deal that would replace his $4.56 million franchise tag. The New York Giants, however, did not pursue a long-term deal with Jason Pierre-Paul after the star defensive end injured his right hand in a July

4 fireworks accident. A person close to the situation told The Associated Press, however, that the Giants have not rescinded their $14.8 million franchise tag offer to Pierre-Paul. Houston has made three consecutive Pro Bowls and was the key to Kansas City’s frontseven dominance last year when he broke Derrick Thomas’s franchise record with 22 sacks and came within a-half sack of Michael Strahan’s NFL single-season record. Houston was considered one of the top linebackers in the draft coming out of Georgia, but a failed test for marijuana at the scouting combine caused his stock to slide. The Chiefs wound up taking him in the third round, in retrospect a massive bargain. He has made roughly $3 million over the course of his rookie contract. For that small price, Kansas City got 200 tackles, 48 1⁄2 sacks and five fumble recoveries. His reward is the richest contract in franchise history. “Once you get paid, it’s not like you won the lottery,” Houston insisted. “You still have work to do. You can still get better each and every day, so that’s my goal.” In some ways, Houston just hit the jackpot. His new deal includes $52.5 million guaranteed, a person

familiar with the terms told The AP. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because terms were not disclosed by the team. Had he not reached an agreement on a long-term deal, Houston still would have more than quadrupled his career earnings, playing on a one-year deal worth about $13.1 million. Thomas signed the richest contract in Broncos history, which includes $43.5 million guaranteed. Bryant’s deal included $45 million guaranteed. Although Thomas had said he’d play on the $12.8 million franchise tag if he had to “and then I’d just go try to win the Super Bowl,” Bryant had threatened to skip training camp and regular-season games without a long-term contract. His deal ended the contractrelated drama that filled the offseason for the Cowboys. First they decided not to match Philadelphia’s offer on running back DeMarco Murray in free agency, and let the NFL rushing leader go to one of their division rivals. So, they couldn’t afford not to have Bryant, who has more catches (381), yards (5,424) and touchdowns (56) through five years than any receiver in franchise history — a list that includes Hall of Famers Michael Irvin and Bob Hayes.

Sky protects Froome’s Tour lead Associated Press CAUTERETS, France — Tour de France leader Chris Froome understands those who harbor doubts about his dominant performances in a sport long marred by doping. Maybe, he says, it’s time to bring in an independent specialist to test his body and help prove that he’s riding clean. The 30-year-old Briton cruised through a second day in the Pyrenees mountains on Wednesday, finishing more than five minutes behind Stage 11 winner Rafal Majka of Poland but keeping his main rivals in check. The bumpy, grueling ride under a hot sun came a day after Froome blew away the pack, prompting new suspicions about doping.

Wednesday, Armstrong acknowledged to British broadcaster Sky News that he bore some responsibility for the spotlight now being trained on the Briton. “I know what it’s like for a guy like Chris to be in the middle of a Tour to deal with the constant questions, which of course he is. And to be fair and to be honest to him, a lot of that is my fault,” Armstrong said.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Tom Watson says the 2016 Masters will be his final tournament at Augusta National. Watson made the announcement Wednesday during a news conference previewing what he expects will be his last British Open. The 65-year-old Watson says he no longer hits the ball far enough to be competitive at the Masters. This year, he opened with a 1-under 71 but soared to an 81 in the second round. He hasn’t made the Augusta cut since 2010. Watson is a two-time Masters champion. He has won the British Open five times. “This is not a ceremony at all,” Watson said Wednesday, his eyes steely and firm. “I’m trying to compete against these players out here.” Some of them, such as Jordan Spieth, are young enough to be his grandchildren. Which is why, in all likelihood, the 65-year-old Watson will be playing the British Open for the final time, a five-time champion making one last crossing of the Swilcan Bridge. “There are some tools missing now, especially distance,” he moaned. “I need everything to compete against these kids,” pausing for emphasis. “Everything.” Watson could earn the right to play another five years if he finishes in the top 10 this week, an exception that was hastily added to the Open’s 60-year-old age limit after he nearly became golf’s oldest major champion at Turnberry in 2009. Watson went to the 72nd hole with a one-stroke lead, only to make bogey and lose to Stewart Cink in a playoff.

to be played here as early as the 15th century, with St. Andrews itself established in 1754. A special feature this week is a display of Tom Watson’s five claret jug trophies for winning the Open. Watson is playing in his final Open this week, something that had him a bit wistful Wednesday on the eve of the Open. “It’s such a part of the fabric of life here in Scotland, the game of golf,” he said. “(Even) people who don’t play the game understand it.” St. Andrews, though, isn’t just a golf town. School isn’t in session during the summer, but the University of St. Andrews bills itself as the third oldest university in the world, dating back to 1410. Prince William met Kate Middleton while both studied there, and the rest is royal history. There might be some royals in the crowd this week, though for some the best players are royalty themselves. At the Pizza Express restaurant on a cobblestone street by the university, a server proudly brought out a hat given to him early in the week by the caddie for Tiger Woods. “See, it’s signed by Tiger himself,” he said, showing the Nike hat off. “I looked it up on Google to make sure it was really his.” Even on a week where huge grandstands are brought in to handle the big crowds and police are on special alert, it’s still easy to get near the action without a ticket. Tourists can stroll behind the 18th green, and anyone can peek over the crowd from the row of shops and rooms lining the 18th fairway to get a glimpse of play. Sit very long at the Starbucks just two blocks away, and you’ll surely see weekend golfers on the golf trip of their lives carrying their clubs to play one of the other six courses run by the St. Andrews Links. You’ll also be able to experience a very Scottish tradition, a dish called haggis. Not for the faint of stomach, it’s sheep’s heart, liver and lungs mixed in with oatmeal and spices for those long winter nights. At the Blue Stane pub just up the street from the old course, you can even get it on a bun with cheese, a haggis melt, for about $7. “I have had it,” Spieth said of the national dish. “I don’t mind it.”

lthough the design of the late 1890s is best known for the sensuous curves of the Art Nouveau period, there were very modern-looking pieces being made by a few European designers. Some of the most famous were in Vienna, Austria. Carl Hagenauer started his own Werkstatten (workshop) in 1898 to make bronzes and other metal wares. He was soon winning awards for his innovative, modern-looking designs. His son, Karl (1898-1956), joined the company in 1919 and, with his brother, Franz (1906-1986), created a group of small bronzes inspired by African art. The figures, dressed in tribal clothing, had long, thin arms, legs and faces, which were almost like stick figures. Many small tabletop groups were made in the 1920s through the early 1950s. These Hagenauer pieces are not hard to find at auctions and shops at reasonable prices. But the larger wood and metal African figures, masks and the Art Deco designs made at the same time are pricier. By the 1960s, the company was making large Western figures of brass and even furniture. The shop closed in 1986. But the popular figures, often copied in South America in the 1950s, were again copied in Great Britain in the 1990s. Many made by an ex-Hagenauer employee are marked RR. Both the well-made copies and the originals are going up in price. Q: My small gold-colored ring has a baseball batter signed “Andy Pafko.” The top looks like a baseball and has small dials near the edges that show balls, strikes and outs. Two baseball bats with a glove between them are on both sides. What is this ring worth? A: You have an Andy Pafko Scorekeeper Ring, a premium issued by Quaker Oats Muffets breakfast cereal in 1949. It was offered for 15 cents and two Muffets box tops. Pafko (1921-2013) played in the Major Leagues from 1943 to 1959 and was a centerfielder for the Chicago Cubs, Brooklyn Dodgers and Milwaukee Braves. Value of your ring: $200 to $400.

An oasis in Edmonds

The garden of Marni Muir and Phill Butler is part of this year’s tour By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

EDMONDS — One of the highlights of this year’s Edmonds in Bloom Garden Tour is a lovely spot with a place in the city’s history. About 100 years ago, the garden belonging to Marni Muir and her husband, Phill Butler, was part of P.H. Burdett’s Meadowdale Nursery. It was a popular plant nursery and one that led to a lot of horticultural interest in south Snohomish County. Muir and Butler have turned the nursery caretaker’s house and its surroundings into a lush oasis of hardy tropicals, native plants, bright annuals and climate-loving perennials. Along with their 1926 home, the property includes a carriage house apartment and Muir’s modern art studio. It is replete with color, texture and an inviting nature, even at dusk when the garden lights come on. The 20th annual Edmonds in Bloom tour is 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 19 and includes six diverse gardens located throughout Edmonds. Some are art-inspired hideaways on small lots, others are quiet sanctuaries in dense neighborhoods and older gardens with sentimental value. A seventh garden on the self-guided tour is the beautiful Hazel Miller Plaza at Fifth and Maple in downtown Edmonds. Musicians will be entertaining tourists at most of the stops. “We are featuring a number of small gardens this year, with the hope that people can get a feel for what one can do in a smaller space,” Edmonds in Bloom spokeswoman Sharon Stout said. “The tour includes a nice mix of individual tastes.” Muir bought her place in 1983. Over the course of 32 years, she tore out most of the lawn, built a South of France-style front patio, planted palm trees and bamboo, encouraged native plants (hers is a certified backyard wildlife habitat) and added several water features because she loves the sound of gurgling brooks and fountains. “I am not some garden guru. I just know what I like,” Muir said. “These days I have help. A team. My hands don’t work like they used to and I get tired.” Muir is quick to credit friends Pam Roy and Carol Murray for help with the design of the garden and the plant selection, as well as Jeff Strickland for the water features.

A fruit garden, including apple trees, sits near Marni Muir’s studio.

If you go The Edmonds in Bloom Garden Tour is 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 19. Tickets are available at www.edmondsinbloom.com or at Sky Nursery, Garden Gear, Wight’s, Bountiful Home and the Frances Anderson Center. Cost is $15 in advance or $20 on the day of the tour.

Muir appreciates plants that have sweetsmelling blossoms and she likes herbs that she can cut and use in her kitchen each day. Honeysuckle, jasmine, daphne and lavender grow in numerous spots. The herb garden is located near the back porch. Other edibles growing in the Muir-Butler garden are kiwi, peach, apple, blueberries, raspberries and a couple of mature fig trees. The native plants include rhododendrons, fern, dogwood, salal and the Douglas fir and Western red cedar trees in the yard. Along with the bamboo, Japanese maples add Asian accents to the garden. Crocosmia, iris, sedums, heuchera, hosta,

ornamental grasses and other perennials are accented with annuals such as zinnias, coneflowers, marigold and calibrachoa. “Living near the water, I love the sunset colors,” Muir said. A 1968 graduate of Edmonds High School, Muir finished her bachelor of fine arts degree just last month at the University of Washington. A longtime artist, art dealer and collector, she serves on the Edmonds Arts Commission and the board of Cascadia Art Museum, which is scheduled to open in September in Edmonds. It’s no surprise then, that Muir includes a lot of art in her garden. Look for black and white ceramics by Larry Halvorsen, of Ballard, and a fanciful bird bath by Barb Wyatt, of Edmonds. Among the sculptural elements in the garden are big pots full of canna, flowers and trees, including two upside down pots that serve as seats in one part of the garden. Garden parties at her home are something Muir’s friends enjoy, and she and her husband are happy to oblige. “I am blessed,” she said. Gale Fiege: 425-339-3427; gfiege@ heraldnet.com.

Enjoy your yard in privacy A bit of privacy is essential to enjoying the pleasures of summer in your backyard. Even when you’re only a few feet from your neighbors, it’s still possible to tan, share a meal with friends, relax in the spa or stay out on the deck all evening without being subjected to prying eyes.

JULY

BACKYARD PRIVACY 1367766

A bit of privacy is important for enjoying the pleasures of summer in your backyard. Hardware

Coniferous trees and shrubs are simple solutions to the privacy question, but you have to have enough space to plant them. If your yard is small or your outdoor seating area is limited to a balcony, you can design an oasis of peace just by installing a trellis. Practical and stylish, trellises provide privacy without looking like a barricade. Hang planters on them, add some fairy lights and decorate them by setting a few colorful pots filled with herbs along the base. You’ll be able to enjoy Landscaping

Flooring

your outdoor space without feeling that everyone is watching you. Do you feel as though a high fence would tower over you and darken the backyard? You’re afraid of offending the neighbors if you build a structure to demarcate your property line? Instead of completely surrounding your yard with a fence or hedge, you could just position some wood screens or trellises in strategic places for a lighter touch. You can also play around with the height and spacing of these screens for a more aesthetic look. This trompe-l’oeil effect is perfect for creating a stylish landscape. Go ahead and talk to landscaping specialists to get more ideas. They’re sure to give you some great advice about how to set up your private little summer haven.

Birds and bees — all part of a healthy garden A

s gardeners we all know there is more to gardening than just the plants. There is a whole ecosystem that includes microbes, insects, worms, mammals — some less desirable than others — and of course birds. All of these players interact in a healthy garden and for the most part support one another. How we design and maintain our gardens plays a huge part in keeping all of this in balance. I have written endlessly about building healthy soils that encourage lively colonies of soil microbes that keep our plants healthy, which then provide the environment needed for the birds and the bees to visit our

have well over a dozen different species of birds that come and go throughout the seasons. But birds need more than just a feeding station to feel secure in the garden. They need places to hide from predators, a place to build a nest, sources of water and other natural food supplies such as bugs, worms, seeds and berries. Bless this mess. Creating a garden that is bird-friendly seems simple enough, but it is often at odds with our concept of a Northwest garden. The classic “low-maintenance” garden with a few coniferous trees, some azaleas or rhododendrons and a swath of lawn is a sterile environment for birds. If

‘Garden-pedia’ gets to the root of horticultural terminology By William Hageman Chicago Tribune

Maria Zampini has spent a lifetime in the garden industry. She’s a fourth-generation nursery person whose family had a destination garden center in Ohio for more than 30 years. She’s also the president and owner of UpShoot, a horticultural marketing firm that specializes in bringing new plants to market. She knows the business. The problem is other people, who don’t. “I remember hiring individuals who had no experience with horticulture, and they’d stumble over some of the common terms we use,” she said. “I also had it in the back of my mind we should have a little dictionary as part of our employee manual.” In her work as a writer for consumer magazines, she says she would catch herself using a term that not everybody knew. “You grew up hearing it, but they didn’t. So I’d rewrite that sentence.” She has finally solved the problem by writing, with horticulturist

From Page D1

Pamela Bennett, “Garden-pedia: An A-to-Z Guide to Gardening Terms” (St. Lynn’s Press), which codifies a lot of the terminology that new and veteran gardeners use. “If someone looks for a term (online) it’s very technical in nature,” Zampini said. “We said it’d be nice if there was something more conversational in tone, and the average person can understand it.” When she and Bennett started brainstorming, they had 600 words. Those that the average gardener wouldn’t use got scrapped. They ended up with about 300 terms, starting with “abiotic” (a nonliving organism) and ending with “zone” (a geographic area defined by average winter, or summer, temperature). And even the expert learned a thing or two. “There are terms I didn’t know,” she says. “There’s one, a ha-ha. Pam came up with it.” And, as long as we’re here: A ha-ha is a term for a sunken fence that creates a barrier for animals while allowing the viewer on the other, higher side an unfettered view.

register drawers that were labeled “A,” “B,” “D” and “E” with no drawer “C.” What’s the reason there isn’t a drawer “C”? A: James Ritty, a saloon owner in Dayton, Ohio, is credited with inventing the first commercially successful mechanical cash register in 1879. His machine was known as the “Incorruptible Cashier.” Multiple drawers were used to keep each employee’s transactions separate. Only the employee assigned to the drawer or the owner could open the drawer. The letter “C” wasn’t used because it usually stood for “cash.” Ritty soon sold the rights to his invention to J.H. Eckert, who founded the National Manufacturing Company. The company was sold in 1883 and became the National Cash Register Company in 1884. Q: I inherited an old postcard picturing the Titanic from a grandparent in England. It has a vertical color picture of the ship underway in the middle of the ocean. The postcard is in very good condition. Is it valuable? A: Many different

postcards picturing the Titanic have been made. Those that were published before the ship sank in 1912 can sell for about $100 to several hundred dollars, depending on rarity and condition. Look at places online that sell Titanic memorabilia. Some sell postcards. You might copy your postcard and send it to someone online that is selling Titanic memorabilia. Anyone who sells Titanic postcards first has to buy them from someone like you. Your grandmother probably had an authentic old card. An expert can identify it. Q: I have an RCA radio that was a gift to my parents in the late 1930s or early 1940s. It’s 11 inches wide by 7 inches high. It has all its tubes and still works. Can you give me a more accurate date when it was made and the value it has today? A: Your radio is RCA Victor Model 65X2, made in 1946 and 1947. It’s a superheterodyne five-tube tabletop radio designed to receive AM radio broadcasts. The cases were plastic and made in two colors, antique ivory or walnut. RCA Victor advertised the radiosleek styling as small enough to “tote from kitchen to laundry to bedroom to breakfast table,” its Golden Throat

I am inclined to think that birds appreciate a bit of chaos in their environment, and that shrubs overlapping can be a good thing. Having a large variety of plant material is also important. If you want to keep birds around in the winter months, let the garden remain “messy” instead of cleaning everything up at the first frost. Also remember that bushes that aren’t pruned all the time will be more inclined to flower, attract pollinators and produce fruit for the birds. A garden that has year-round interest to us will also have year-round interest to the birds. Avoid the use of pesticides whenever possible.

Birds eat bugs as well as seeds and if you eliminate all the bugs in your garden then there is nothing to draw the birds. A garden full of bugs is a garden full of nutritious bird food. Learn to live with a few bugs in your life. Provide a source of water. This could be a bird bath, fountain or pond. Either way make sure to keep it clean. Water will also draw in dragonflies whose larvae will eat mosquitos. Moving water as in a fountain seems to work best for attracting birds.

Hubby, kids forget her 50th birthday

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion. Dear Carolyn: Six months ago was my 20th anniversary; things are just coasting along between us, and he doesn’t want to address it, including joint counseling. Four months ago: son’s 18th birthday. A nice family party. Two months ago: daughter’s 16th birthday, which my husband took the lead on. They’ve always been close. Two weeks ago: my 50th birthday. I’d mentioned it a couple of times beforehand. There was some subterfuge during the week, which I thought indicated a surprise dinner/party (we’d had one for my husband). So I booked myself a nice massage for the day and kept the evening open. Kids let me know not to plan anything since they would both be out. You already know where this is going, don’t you? They all forgot. I spent the evening at home with a book and took the dog for a walk. This came to a head last week, when my daughter baked treats for her friend’s surprise 16th birthday. As I was driving her to the party, she got a funny look on her face and said, Mom, when’s your birthday? And I answered, last week. When I got home, my son asked what I wanted to do for my

like each other more than they like you, when you’re a parent and your kids take-take-take as if you’re more Coke machine than human. And it can come when you’re married and your spouse’s attention is on kids, job, family of origin, pets, causes ... anything but you. Letting it go isn’t the answer, because there’s no single answer. For the marriage portion, I suggest counseling, without him if you must. Start talking this out in a purposeful way before you “coast” off a cliff. For the kids, I suggest what you’ve come to on your own: Accept they’re at an age where they miss this stuff. The fact that they’re on it now, feeling sheepish, is a good and important sign. For this and future birthdays, I suggest you reverse the “too late” declaration and take the reins. Figure out what you want, and do it. A family outing? A weekend away just for you? A nostalgic favorite? And for the root issue, I suggest thinking big. One phase of your life is nearing a close. Take this birthday epiphany as a hint to start planning the next phase, where your kids don’t define your days. How do you see yourself then? (c) 2015, Washington Post Writers Group

Teacher, dope fiend share ‘crazy chemistry’ Dear Abby: I’m a 24-year-old teacher and graduate student. I have started dating a new man, “Winston,” who makes me feel incredible. We have crazy chemistry like I’ve never had before, and our personalities work perfectly together. Here’s the problem. Winston is a recovering heroin addict with horrible credit and two felony charges related to having stolen money from his parents when he was desperate for drugs. I know what you’re thinking — I’d be an idiot for dating someone like this, right? But Winston and I have had heartfelt talks and he revealed a troubled upbringing that helped me understand where his addiction came from. He’s in a rehab program to try to get his life together. I’ve dated a lot of guys. All I’ve ever wanted is someone who will give me “butterflies” for the rest of my life, and Winston may be the guy. He’s attentive, affectionate and loving. He treats me like a princess. I understand his past will cause financial strain. Isn’t it more important to have a man who treats me right than one with a lot of earning potential? Please give me some advice. — Dream Come True In New Jersey Dear Dream: You have been seeing Winston for HOW long? Has he completed his rehab and been able to maintain his sober lifestyle for a long enough time that the chances are it will continue? Few things are as exciting as infatuation — every one of our senses is heightened. You say you feel “butterflies,” but what if you wind up with only a moth-eaten carpet?

Dear Abby: My widowed 86-year-old mom was living by herself. My unmarried sister, “Anne,” has become ill and has moved in with Mom. Anne wanted a dog. At first Mom was against it because they both have cats, but she finally gave in and Anne got a year-old beagle mix from the dog rescue. I have been afraid of dogs since I was little. My family knows this. This animal has abandonment and abuse issues. He’s very aggressive and barks, growls and lunges at anyone who comes into the house. It makes me afraid, so I have quit visiting and hardly ever drop by. I worry that in an emergency — whether for Mom or Anne — the EMTs would not be able to get past the animal. What can I do? — Scared In Iowa Dear Scared: Explain to them that not all emergency medical technicians have been formally trained to handle unruly or vicious animals, and precious time might be lost. If your sister or mother wasn’t around to control the dog and the EMTs were unable to lure it to another room, animal control would have to be summoned or a neighbor found who could assist, and the consequences could be serious.

Author says goodbye to Dexter

Thursday’s highlights on TV include: Denis Leary returns to prime time in “Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll.” He plays a washed-up, self-destructive musician who is desperate to get his band back together and make some money. The cast includes John Corbett. 10 p.m., FX “Geeks Who Drink”: The popular nationwide bar trivia events become a TV game show. 9 p.m. Syfy From Herald news services

MIAMI — Spoiler alert: Book Dexter does not become a lumberjack. The eighth and final novel in the Dexter series, “Dexter Is Dead,” now in bookstores, picks up from the end of the previous book, with the titular vigilante serial killer under arrest and facing a murder charge — ironically for a crime he didn’t actually commit. “I always knew that someday the wheels would come off,” author Jeff Lindsay said. Starting with the 2004 novel “Darkly Dreaming Dexter,” the series follows the exploits of Dexter Morgan, a blood splatter analyst with the MiamiDade Police Department. Following a code developed by his adoptive father — a police officer — to only kill other killers, Dexter balances a public life of work,

TODAY IN HISTORY San Francisco, Barry M. Goldwater declared that “extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice” and that “moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” In 1970, Three Rivers Stadium, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Pirates, officially opened as the Pirates lost to the Cincinnati Reds 3-2. (The stadium was demolished in 2001.) In 1979, Saddam Hussein became president of Iraq. In 1980, former California Gov. Ronald Reagan won the Republican presidential nomination at the party’s convention in Detroit. In 1981, singer Harry Chapin was killed when his car was struck by a tractor-trailer on New York’s Long Island Expressway. In 1995, William Barloon and David Daliberti, two Americans imprisoned in Iraq for crossing the border from Kuwait four months earlier, were released. In 1999, John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife, Carolyn, and her sister, Lauren Bessette, died when their single-engine plane, piloted by Kennedy, plunged into the Atlantic Ocean near Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.

friends and family with his not-so-public, homicidal pastime. But now Dexter’s story is coming to a climatic conclusion. “I had all these wonderful, outrageous ideas for how it would happen, and I didn’t end up using any of them, which I guess is par for the course,” Lindsay said. “Your first idea, the one that gets you going, is never the one you end up with.” It’s safe to assume that none of those ideas

involved Dexter faking his death and starting a new life in the Pacific Northwest as a lumberjack. That’s how the “Dexter” television series based on Lindsay’s characters concluded in 2013 after eight seasons. “Boy oh boy oh boy, did I get mail about that,” Lindsay said. While the first season of the show kept relatively close to the first novel, the plotlines of later seasons had virtually nothing to do with the books. So Lindsay could only tell irate fans, “It wasn’t me.” Fan reaction aside, Lindsay said he doesn’t really have an opinion on the final episode because he didn’t actually see it. He had just started a 10-month book tour for his previous novel, “Dexter’s Final Cut,” and he didn’t get a chance to watch the show’s finale. “So I don’t have any

opinion on whether it was good or bad except that TV is very, very different,” Lindsay said. “The demands of that medium are very different from what is demanded in the book, and it’s never going to be the same thing. I’m sure they (the show’s producers) did what they thought was right.” Lindsay said he has mixed feelings about leaving a popular character and a successful book series behind. “This is kind of what I had always wanted, to have a book series like that,” Lindsay said. “And to say goodbye to it is like launching yourself into the unknown and starting over again. But it was time. I don’t think it got stale, but I felt like someday soon it might start to get stale on me. Better to go out on top, leave them wanting more.” Associated Press

TELEVISION

Fallon back on ‘Tonight’ following nasty finger injury NEW YORK — “Tonight” show host Jimmy Fallon spent 10 days in a hospital intensive care unit after tripping in his kitchen and injuring a finger so badly it required six hours of microsurgery to save. The comic was back at work Monday for the first time following the June 26 accident in his New York home, wearing a cast on his left hand that extended nearly to the fingernail of his ring finger. His wedding ring caught on a surface as he tried to break his fall. “I tripped and fell in our kitchen on a braided rug that my wife loves,” he said. “I can’t wait to burn it to the ground.”

His badly bent finger looking like a “horror movie,” Fallon took a cab to an emergency room. He was told what he thought was a broken finger was much more complicated, and was sent to another hospital. He said he was told that many people with the same injury lose their finger. The complicated surgery involved taking a vein from his foot to help repair the finger. Ten days in the hospital made Fallon a little stir crazy. “I started losing it halfway through,” he said. “I started reading books about the meaning of life.” He wasn’t kidding, as

Jimmy Fallon performs his monologue on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Monday, his first day back at work following a June 26 accident that badly injured his finger in his New York home.

Fallon pulled out a paperback titled “Man’s Search for Meaning.” And he said it crystallized his own thoughts about what he should be doing. “This is the meaning of my life,” the 40-year-old comic said. “I belong on TV ... if anyone’s suffering at all, this is my job. I’m

here to make you laugh. I’m here to make you have a good time.” It was a rough summer break for NBC’s “Tonight” show crew. Fallon’s announcing sidekick, Steve Higgins, said he spent much of the time in bed with Lyme Disease. Associated Press
