A judge rules Everett Public Schools is responsible for the legal fees of a student suspended 3 times for preaching. By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — The Everett School District will have to pay more than $120,000 in legal fees to settle a dispute with a Cascade High School student. U.S. District Court Judge Thomas S. Zilly issued the

Cascade High allowed Leal to preach near the statue of the school’s bear mascot, and in return Leal dropped the element of his suit saying his religious rights were being violated.

a bullhorn. Leal claimed his First Amendment right of free speech was being infringed upon by school district policies. According to the suit, Leal was suspended for violating district policies that state that students who distribute materials they write or produce themselves should not disrupt school activities or interfere with operations.

District must pay $120K

By Noah Haglund EVERETT — Wrangling over a new contract for Snohomish County government employees has created another ugly dust-up between two Democrats competing for the executive’s job. Executive John Lovick’s administration has been negotiating a three-year contract with the AFSCME-affiliated union that represents more than 1,500 county workers. The union has been among Lovick’s strongest supporters as he tries to win a four-year term in office this November. County Council Chairman Dave Somers is competing for the executive’s job and finished ahead of Lovick in the Aug. 4 primary. Long before he became a candidate for executive, Somers had challenged Lovick’s financial policies. The latest flash point was a Wednesday council meeting, when Somers pushed through legislation to turn down a tentative contract agreement Lovick’s office negotiated with the union. The council chairman accused the executive of violating the county charter by straying outside the guidelines the council already set for the contract. Somers told a room packed with about 100 frustrated union workers that it was better to act now than to wait until employees voted on a contract the council would not endorse. “We are at an all-time low in our reserves,” he said. “The economy is doing well; county finances are not. We have a responsibility as a county to look at the entire budget.” Somers was joined by Democratic Councilman Terry Ryan and Republican Councilman Ken Klein in passing a motion rejecting the tentative agreement. They ordered the executive instead to come up with a deal consistent with the direction they’d provided, including future pay and benefits. Councilmembers Stephanie Wright and Brian Sullivan, who both support Lovick, cast dissenting votes.

Carson ‘Tonight Show’ episodes coming By Emily Yahr

Year’s Day, Antenna TV (the Tribune Broadcasting network available in 102 markets across 78 percent of the country) will air late-night reruns of the Johnny Carson show every weeknight at 8 PST. On weekends, the network will show reruns of Carson’s 90-minute episodes an hour earlier. The caveats: The episodes won’t air in any sort of order; a representative

The Washington Post

Do you have Antenna TV? Ever heard of it? You might want to check your channel guide, because starting Jan. 1, it’s the only place where — for the first time in decades — the world will be able to fall asleep to the dulcet tones of “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” every night. Beginning on New

confirms that the programming team will handpick episodes to run every night. For example, the first episode will be a Carson New Year’s episode. However, there won’t be any repeats during the calendar year, and every episode will feature Carson — not one of his guest hosts. This should make some people very happy, as many fans complain that Carson reruns aren’t

shown on TV. Jeff Sotzing, Carson’s nephew, runs Carson Entertainment and has made shows increasingly available in recent years, including a YouTube channel with full episodes; DVDs and clips are available on the Johnny Carson website. But Carson reruns are hard to find on television. Although some famous interviews were excerpted a few years ago for TCM’s

popular “Carson on TCM” series, this is the first time since his “Tonight Show” ended in 1992 that the episodes will be available in a nightly strip. The deal, a multi-year agreement, is a coup for Antenna TV, which is known for airing reruns of very famous shows of the past, including “All in the Family,” “Father Knows Best,” “The Jeffersons” and “Bewitched.”

Octopus species weirdly social and romantic By Seth Borenstein Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The octopus already is an oddball of the ocean. Now biologists have rediscovered a species of that eight-arm sea creature that’s even stranger and shares some of our social and mating habits. With their shifting shapes, mesmerizing eyes, and uncanny intelligence, octopuses “are one of the most mysterious and captivating species,” said Rich Ross, a senior biologist at the California Academy of Sciences. “They’re aliens alive on our planet and it feels like they have plans.” For Ross and colleagues, it got stranger when they got a batch of octopuses from Central America to study. The critters just didn’t fit the loner denizen-of-the-deep profile that scientists had drawn for the rest of the 300 or so

octopus species. While most octopuses live alone, coming together for ever-so-brief and dangerous mating, couples of this species can live together to mate for a few days in the same cramped den or shell. While other male octopuses mate from a distance to avoid being cannibalized, these

octopuses mate entangled beak-to-beak. That style could almost be thought of as romantic, said Alvaro Roura, an octopus expert at La Trobe University in Australia, who wasn’t part of the study. While other females lay one batch of eggs and then die, the female of this species lives longer and produces eggs constantly,

bettering the species’ chance of survival, Ross said. But it’s more than sex. These octopuses clean out food waste from their dens. They twirl their arms like an old-timey movie villain with a moustache. And they quickly learn that people mean food: when someone enters the room, they leave their dens and head to the top of the tank. “It’s the most amazing octopus that I’ve ever gotten to work with,” Ross said. The octopus, normally a dull chocolate brown, suddenly sports stripes and spots when it gets excited or upset, said Roy Caldwell of the University of California, Berkeley. He is the lead author of a paper on the octopus with Ross and others published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One. The species is

preliminarily called the Larger Pacific Striped Octopus, although it’s really not much bigger than a tennis ball — just bigger than a similar species. It was found almost 40 years ago off the coast of Panama. Other scientists wouldn’t believe it was a separate species or that it showed such distinctive behavior. So its discoverer, Arcadio Rodaniche, gave up and the species was never formally described or named. Then in 2011, Caldwell got an email from a high school student about his pet octopus, Charlie. It was the same species discovered in the 1970s. Caldwell traced it to a dealer who sent him two dozen of the species from Panama, Nicaragua and Mexico to study in captivity. The researchers note that this octopus species could act differently in the wild.

ROCHESTER, Minn. — Police say a 22-year-old woman accused of shoplifting arrived in style at a mall in southeastern Minnesota. Authorities said a limousine driver who took the woman to the Apache Mall in Rochester on Monday helped police find her. Lt. Jim Evenson told the Post-Bulletin that the woman stole about $300 in merchandise from a sporting goods store then fought with security officers before running away. As police searched the area for the suspect, the limo driver stopped and asked officers who they were looking for. When he heard her description, he told police it might be the woman who had just called for a ride back to Kahler Grand Hotel. Evenson said officers followed the limo driver to the pickup spot and arrested the woman.

24 county residents sickened by salmonella Whole-hog roasted pork is the culprit in the outbreak that has hospitalized 15 people around the state. No deaths have been reported.

By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

A salmonella outbreak linked to pork that has sicked 134 people in Washington, including 24 in Snohomish County, could be “just the tip of the iceberg,” state

health officials said Wednesday. “I’m concerned we’re not done yet,” said Dr. Scott Lindquist, the communicable disease epidemiologist for the state Department of Health. “Even though we’ve been pretty clear about food safety, for some reason it

continues to go on.” So far, 15 people, including one person in Snohomish County, have been hospitalized, although no one has become seriously ill or died from the food-borne outbreak, he said. The symptoms of people sickened by salmonella

include severe, sometimes bloody diarrhea, fever, chills and vomiting. A team of investigators from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have See SALMONELLA, Page A4

at expanding the recycling of those elements. Currently, less than 1 percent of rare earths are recaptured from used consumer electronics. The legislation also establishes a partnership between the state’s research institutions: WSU, the University of Washington and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. “When you put your best researchers form WSU, UW and PNNL together, you’re going to get some very exciting results,” Smith said. The partnership will bring together a broad basis of knowledge in subjects like materials science, materials engineering and chemistry, said Christian Mailhoit, a WSU materials science professor, who testified to the Legislature in support of Smith’s bill. “You really need to understand these phenomenon at the fundamental level in order to translate that knowledge into things like recycling, manufacturing and substitution,” Mailhoit said. Having that basis of

STANWOOD — A new team of teen artists is working on a colorful mural to fill a simple wooden structure on the hill at Church Creek Park. It’s been a year since a group of high school students painted the park’s first mural and perched it atop the grassy slope. The teens and their mentor say the mural project, called Project STAND, is making a difference in Stanwood. They want to show people that high school students have a voice and positive ways to express themselves, so they create art for a park that has had problems with vandalism and drug use. Last year, community groups worked together to clean up Church Creek Park, along 72nd Avenue Northwest near Lincoln Hill and Stanwood high schools. Volunteers picked up trash and a Church Creek Disc Golf group raised money for a new course on the park’s wooded trails. Project STAND was one of the most visual pieces of the clean-up effort. STAND means Stereotypes Alternatively Defined, and it’s about helping high school students overcome others’ expectations and express themselves, coordinator Krystal Roig said. Park crews installed a raised wooden frame at Church Creek Park so a new mural can be installed each year. Seven teen artists have been gathering at the Stanwood-Camano Community Resource Center twice a week this summer, for up to four hours at a time, to paint the new mural. The plan is to install it Aug. 20, Roig said. Nicole Wierman and Victoria “Tori” Humphreys, both 16, have been explaining the mural to folks who sneak a

Rare earth metals are a vital component of all electronics, but very little is recycled from old computers. A new institute at the Washington State University North Puget Sound at Everett will look at recycling the minerals as well as developing subsitutes for them.

WSU brings rare earth to Everett The first research program at the emerging campus also will look at recycling the elements. By Jocelyn Robinson The Herald Business Journal

They’re essential to all electronics. Europium. Promethium. Scandium. And others. The second to last rung on the Periodic Table is devoted to the so-called “rare earth elements,” metals that are used in everything from cellphones to wind turbines. Because these minerals are vital to consumer electronics, as well as defense and green techology, they’re a big deal. “Rare earths impact everyone,” said Chris Keane, Washington State University’s vice president of research. “If you have a cellphone, you’re impacted; if you have a computer, you’re impacted. “One of the reasons the colors are so bright on your screen is because of rare earths

— Europium in particular.” Right now, China controls 90 percent of rare earth production in the world. That may change and WSU in Everett may be part of the reason. WSU North Puget Sound at Everett will soon become the home to a new institute looking to develop alternatives to rare earth elements and recycle the elements out of existing products. It’s the first research program for the emerging campus. The Joint Center for Deployment and Research in Earth Abundant Materials (JCDREAM) was established by legislation sponsored by Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, and signed by Gov. Jay Inslee on July 6. Smith cited issues of environmental sustainability, national security and supply chain stability for the creation of the center. Rare earth elements earned their name because they were originally hard to find, Keane said. “It turns out they’re just clustered in the earth in various spots,” he added. The majority of those clusters are in China.

Rep. Smith added the United States Geological Survey found that Afghanistan is a mineral-rich nation. She said that more than 70 percent of titanium — not a rare earth element, but a difficult-tosource element used to create lightweight and more fuel-efficient transportation technologies — comes from Ukraine and Russia. Tensions in those countries have threatened the supply chain of rare earth minerals. Mining for these elements is a highly toxic, resource intensive process. A lot of chemicals are used to break down the raw material and extract a small amount of rare earths, Keane said. Those environmental concerns led Smith to develop the legislation. “For us to say we want to deploy next-generation technology and yet do so in a way that exports the environmental harm of improper mineral extraction to other nations is not an acceptable strategy,” Smith said. In addition to finding possible substitutes to rare earth elements, the center will also look

Cornfield: Leadership’s not ready to count Lovick out From Page A3

is uncouth enough to publicly declare their intentions. Privately, plenty in the party are willing — without much pushing — to ruminate on who might seek the seat should it become vacant. State Rep. Hans Dunshee, of Snohomish, gets mentioned first. Not surprising: He’s the dean of the party’s political class in

fundamental science will lead to development and deployment of new technologies. “It’s really important to have that deployment aspect to it so you can fully realize the benefit of research,” Mailhoit said. “I think it will be very beneficial to the state in particular and the country in general.” The legislation establishes a board of directors for the institute;

the council district. And he’s pondered running for county office in the past but never acted. Doing so now would mean leaving Olympia where Dunshee wields significant influence as chairman of the committee that writes the state’s capital construction budget. State Sen. Steve Hobbs, of Lake Stevens, is usually the second name tossed into the mix. But he’s

members will include representatives of WSU, the University of Washington, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, community colleges and related industries. Having the community colleges and industries on board ensures that institute will help prepare a work force that can build what the institute develops. Smith said that was a critical component to the center. Establishing the center at the North Puget Sound branch is part of a larger WSU initiative to expand the school’s offerings at that site, said Chris Mulick, WSU’s director of

already said he wants to run for lieutenant governor in 2016 if the current officeholder, Democrat Brad Owen, retires as widely expected. And one complicating factor for Hobbs is that his critics could question his ties, past and present, with disgraced former county Executive Aaron Reardon and his right-hand man, Kevin Hulten — who once worked for Hobbs as well.

Snohomish Mayor Karen Guzak is among those thought to possibly have some interest, even if she hasn’t vocalized a desire for the job. And it’s no secret Guy Palumbo, a Snohomish County planning commissioner, is aiming for higher office, which makes this a perfect target. But he upset a few in the Democratic Party with his failed run against incumbent

Democratic state Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe in 2012. An appointment pursuit will reveal how well he’s mended those fences. Richard Wright, the chairman of the Snohomish County Democratic Party, is none too pleased with such hyperventilation. “What appointment?” Wright said Monday when asked to comment on the not so idle chit-chat. Counting Lovick out

before he and Somers clash this fall in front of voters would ignore the executive’s history of winning elections when they matter, his supporters say. That’s a what-if scenario they insist can’t be ignored. Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet. com.

state relations. “To date, our activity has really been around bring new academic programs to the area, but this would be something different,” Mulick said. “It makes a lot of sense, and looking down the road, it makes a lot of sense for that economy as well.” Materials science research is important to aerospace manufacturers, Keane said. The center essentially establishes a materials science program in Everett. “There’s a lot of industries in Everett interested in materials science research,” Keane said. DAN BATES / HERALD FILE

Stanwood Police Chief Rick Hawkins said. He’s been impressed by how eloquently they present their ideas to city leaders. “I hope this continues on a yearly basis,” Hawkins said. “It goes well beyond what it does for the park.” He doesn’t expect Church Creek Park to change quickly. There have been continuing problems this year with graffiti, broken equipment and drug use. Signs from the new disc golf course have been knocked over or stolen. But vandals haven’t damaged the mural. Public art isn’t a cure for the park’s problems. Hawkins plans to increase patrols at the park during the school year, but police can’t always be there. When more people use the park, they pressure criminals to get out, he said. To see last year’s mural still standing tells Roig that something is changing for the better. Young people have big voices and need ways to share their ideas. “This is a creative way to allow self-expression without a lot of explanation,” she said. “They just want to be part of something positive in their community.” Kari Bray: 425-339-3439; kbray@heraldnet.com.

been staying,” said Leslie Hynes, Snohomish County Fire District 1 spokeswoman. More than half the house was in flames when firefighters arrived and smoke was visible from miles away. A motorhome parked near the house was destroyed. Two women, who’d

But this got us all together to do something and I feel like I accomplished something that’s really important,” she said. “This means a lot. It means friends and it means a message I really care about.” Silver Merideth, 17, has been painting weeds on the dark side of the mural and flowers on the bright said. To her, the image represents moving from someplace dark and negative to a brighter, more positive place. “Nobody really likes weeds because they get in the way of everything, and these weeds have thorns so they can hurt people,” she said. “But flowers are beautiful and make people happy.” Fellow painter Veronica Velazquez, 16, brushed grass-like textures into dark shadows on the left side of mural. “To me, it shows that there’s this dark side and that’s this dark place in society where you feel like no one accepts you,” she said. “You have to go through a lot of things that are hard to get to that place where you’re happy.” The teen painters learn about teamwork, perseverance and self-expression,

come to Washington to assist in an investigation of slaughterhouses, restaurants, farms and barns to see if they can find the source of the outbreak, Lindquist said. Early testing shows a connection to a slaughter facility in Graham. Pork, like any other meat or poultry product, is safe to eat if it is cooked to a temperature of 145 degrees, he said. Safe food preparation also includes careful hand washing and not allowing uncooked pork to come into contact

and contaminate other surfaces where food is being prepared. Some of the recent illnesses have been caused when people ate pork that was whole-hog roasted, he said. On Tuesday, the state health agency was told of 22 people becoming ill after attending a pig roast. Several previous whole roasted hog events that sickened people occurred in Snohomish County, he said. One of the concerns that the outbreak may be far larger than it appears is that not everyone who is sickened with diarrhea

and vomiting goes to a clinic to be diagnosed, Lindquist said. And if they do, they’re not always tested to see if they have been sicked with salmonella. “We know there’s likely many more that were ill,” he said. The state first began getting reports of salmonella linked to pork in April. The 24 cases now reported in Snohomish County is second only to King County, where 84 cases have been reported. People in Clark, Cowlitz, Grays Harbor, Kitsap, Mason, Pierce, Thurston and Yakima counties also have been sickened. Sharon Salyer: 425-3393486; salyer@heraldnet. com

Idaho, Oregon lawmakers seek to pay for wildfires By Kimberlee Kruesi Associated Press

BOISE, Idaho — A bipartisan effort seeking to change the way the country pays to fight disastrous wildfires has been renewed after stalling repeatedly from lawmakers hesitant to approve letting firefighting agencies use dollars meant for natural disaster rather than money set aside for fire prevention. Over the years, firefighting agencies have been forced to borrow money set aside for forest thinning and other fire prevention

projects as wildfire seasons have ballooned in costs. Republican Sens. Mike Crapo and Jim Risch of Idaho and Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon said Wednesday they are getting ready to pitch bipartisan legislation to Congress. “This is not a partisan issue,” Risch said at a news conference at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise. “Our eastern and southern colleagues don’t necessarily have the same world view. Fire has always been part of the landscape out West and we’ll always have to deal with it.”

Fire has always been part of the landscape out West and we’ll always have to deal with it. — Sen. Jim Risch, R-Idaho

Crapo acknowledged that prior attempts to get similar bills through Congress have stalled, but he says this year supporters have the backing of key congressional committee leaders to help move

it through. The bill also has been deemed budget-neutral from the Congressional Budget Office, which has helped ease fears that it would create a “blank check” approach to fighting

wildfires, Crapo said. Under the legislation, firefighting agencies could use federal natural disaster funds for wildfire suppression, but only if nationwide firefighting costs reached 70 percent of the 10-year average. This would prevent firefighting agencies like the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service from borrowing funds that pay for projects that help fire-prone regions. Lawmakers at Wednesday’s news conference noted that while natural disasters like hurricanes

and earthquakes qualify for emergency federal funds, it’s up to firefighting agencies to pay for battling the big blazes from their own budgets. And as wildfires have grown in size and frequency, federal agencies have been spending more than ever to try to keep up. For example, in 1995. wildfire costs were just 16 percent of the U.S. Forest Service’s budget. In 2015, wildfire costs consumed more than half of the overall budget, and by 2025, the agency predicts it’ll take up nearly 70 percent.

At least 17 die as huge blasts hit Chinese port Associated Press

The Washington Post California’s local municipalities have an astounding strategy to save water: turn their reservoirs into massive, floating ball pits. During the past couple years, cities across the state have dumped millions of “shade balls” — black, plastic balls weighted down with water — into their reservoirs. The result is a hypnotic scene: a barreling barrage of black balls that just never seems to end. The tactic prevents the chlorine in the water (used to disinfect it from pathogens) from reacting with sunlight to become bromate, a suspected carcinogen. It also protects water sources from wildlife and blocks it from the sun to reduce evaporation. Los Angeles officials estimate shade balls will save somewhere around 300 million gallons of water each year. Of course, that’s nothing compared with the 13.6 billion gallons of water consumed by Los Angeles in June of this year alone. “This is a blend of how engineering really meets common sense,” Marcie Edwards, general manager of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, said Tuesday. “We saved a lot of money, we did all the right things.” They also can be recycled, and are expected to last as long as 10 years.

National Earthquake Bureau reported two major blasts before midnight, the first with an equivalent of three tons of TNT, and the second with the equivalent of 21 tons.

The explosions took place in a mostly industrial zone, with some apartment buildings in the vicinity. Buildings of a half-dozen other logistics companies were destroyed in the

blasts, and more than 1,000 new Renault cars were left charred in a nearby parking lot, the Beijing News said. Photos taken by bystanders and circulating on microblogs show a gigantic

Smoke and fire erupt into the sky after an explosion in Tianjin on Thursday. Chinese state media reported huge explosions at the Tianjin port late Wednesday.

on the site who gave just his surname, Li. In one neighborhood about 6 to 12 miles from the blast site, some residents were sleeping on the street wearing gas masks, although there was no perceptible problem with the air apart from massive clouds of smoke seen in the distance. “It was like what we were told a nuclear bomb would be like,” said truck driver Zhao Zhencheng, who spent the night in the cab of his truck. “I’ve never even thought I’d see such a thing. It was terrifying but also beautiful.” Tianjin, with a population of about 15 million, is about 75 miles east of Beijing on the Bohai Sea and is one of the country’s major ports. It is one of China’s more modern cities and is connected to the capital by a high speed rail line.

TIANJIN, China — Huge explosions in a warehouse district sent up massive fireballs that turned the night sky into day, killing at least 17 people and injuring hundreds in the port city of Tianjin, officials and witnesses said Thursday. China’s state broadcaster, CCTV, said that at least 17 people were killed in the explosions late Wednesday and that 32 were in critical condition in hospital. Hundreds of others were taken to hospital. The blasts, originating at a warehouse for hazardous material, knocked doors off buildings in the area and shattered windows up to several miles away. “I thought it was an earthquake, so I rushed downstairs without my shoes on,” said Tianjin resident Zhang Siyu, whose home is several miles from the blast site. “Only once I was outside did I realize it was an explosion. There was the huge fireball in the sky with thick clouds. Everybody could see it.” Zhang said she could see wounded people weeping. She said she did not see anyone who had been killed, but “I could feel death.” There was no indication of what caused the blasts, and no immediate sign of any large release of toxic chemicals into the air. The Beijing News newspaper reported that there was some unidentified yellow foam flowing at the site. Police in Tianjin said an initial blast took place at shipping containers in a warehouse for hazardous materials owned by Ruihai Logistics, a company that says it is properly approved to handle such materials. State media said senior management of the company had been detained by authorities, and that President Xi Jinping has demanded severe punishment for anyone found responsible for the explosions. Xinhua News agency said an initial explosion triggered other blasts at nearby businesses. The

fireball high in the sky, with a mushroom-cloud. Other photos on state media outlets showed a sea of fire that painted the night sky bright orange, with tall plumes of smoke. About a mile from the explosion site is the luxury Fifth Avenue apartment complex on a road strewn with broken glass and pieces of charred metal thrown from explosion. Like surrounding buildings, the Mediterranean-style complex had all its windows blown out, and some of its surfaces were scorched. “It’s lucky no one had moved in,” said a worker on the site, Liu Junwei, 29. “But for us it’s a total loss. Two years of hard work down the drain.” “It had been all quiet, then the sky just lit up brighter than day and it looked like a fireworks show,” said another worker

Jimmy Carter has cancer Associated Press ATLANTA — Former President Jimmy Carter, who at age 90 still travels the world supporting the humanitarian endeavors that have consumed his time in the decades since he left office, announced Wednesday he has cancer that has spread to other parts of his body. “Recent liver surgery revealed that I have cancer that now is in other parts of my body,” Carter said in a statement released by the Carter Center. “I will be rearranging my schedule as necessary so I can undergo treatment by physicians at Emory Healthcare.” The statement makes clear that Carter’s cancer is widely spread but not where it originated, or even if that is known at this point. The liver is often a place where cancer spreads and less commonly is the primary source of it. The statement said further information will be provided when more facts are known, “possibly next week.” Carter announced Aug. 3 that he had surgery to remove a small mass from his liver.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Former President Jimmy Carter speaks in Boston in 2014.

Good wishes poured in on social media after Carter’s announcement, while President Barack Obama said he and first lady Michelle Obama wish Carter a fast and full recovery. Carter was the nation’s 39th president, defeating Gerald Ford in 1976 with a pledge to always be honest. Before his career in politics, Carter graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and served seven years in the Navy

submarine force. A Georgia peanut farmer who had been a state senator and governor of Georgia for a single term before running for president, Carter ended up seeing his second run for president doomed by a number of foreign policy conflicts, most especially the Iran hostage crisis — losing in a landslide to Ronald Reagan in 1980. He spent the decades since carving out a reputation for promoting such global issues

as health care and democracy, often with his wife, Rosalynn, by his side. He joined the staff of Emory University and in 1982 established the Carter Center to promote those issues. His new role as global statesman took him into places often shunned by other diplomats. Carter helped defuse nuclear tensions between the Koreas and monitored the first Palestinian elections. In 2002, he won the Nobel Peace Prize. Despite remaining active through the years, Carter’s health has recently become the subject of speculation. In May, he was forced to cut short an election observation visit to Guyana when he developed a bad cold. Carter also completed a book tour this summer to promote his latest work, “A Full Life.” Carter included his family’s history of pancreatic cancer in that memoir, writing that his father, brother and two sisters all died of the disease and said the trend “concerned” the former president’s doctors at Emory.

U.S. fighters fly from Turkey By Robert Burns Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The U.S. on Wednesday launched its first airstrikes by Turkey-based F-16 fighter jets against Islamic State targets in Syria, marking a limited escalation of a yearlong air campaign that critics have called excessively cautious. The Pentagon announced the F-16 strikes were launched from Incirlik air base in southern Turkey but provided no details on the number or types of targets struck. A U.S. defense official said later that two of the six F-16s based at Incirlik flew the mission over Syria to hit one or more targets that had been selected in advance. Earlier this month the U.S. began flying armed drones from Incirlik, but the F-16 flights add a new dimension to the air campaign, in part because of the added risk to pilots who might encounter Syrian or other air defenses. Pentagon officials have said the main advantage of using Incirlik is its proximity to Islamic State targets in northern Syria, although a senior U.S. defense official said Wednesday that the F-16s may also be used on missions over Iraq. Most U.S. aerial combat missions over Iraq and Syria are being flown from more distant air bases in Qatar and elsewhere in the Persian Gulf region, although the U.S. also is flying F-16s from Muwaffaq Salti air base in Jordan. The official said the Incirlikbased F-16s are equipped with surveillance and reconnaissance equipment in addition to weapons, and thus can be used to verify targeting information that may be provided by local

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California officials launched two initiatives Wednesday to boost residential water conservation: The nation’s toughest water efficiency standards for showerheads and a $30 million rebate program to rip out grass lawns and replace old toilets. The California Energy Commission voted to require showerheads sold at stores in the state to spray less water than current models after similar moves for toilets, faucets

Bernie Sanders takes lead against Clinton BOSTON — A new poll shows Bernie Sanders with an apparent lead over Hillary Clinton among likely Democratic voters in New Hampshire, adding to his momentum in the nation’s first presidential primary state. Sanders, the independent senator from neighboring Vermont, tops Clinton, the former secretary of state, 44 percent to 37 percent, in the new Franklin Pierce University/ Boston Herald poll. The survey, taken Aug. 7-10, has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.7 percent, meaning Sanders’ lead is not considered statistically significant by pollsters. Clinton has maintained a modest edge in other recent polls from the Granite State.

California: Wildfire fight A heat wave expected to last into next week has heightened the danger in what is already an epic summer of wildfires. The number of fires on state and federal land is way ahead of last year, and officials fear more as temperatures rise past the century mark in some areas.

Texas: Death row wish Inmate Daniel Lee Lopez got his wish Wednesday when he was executed in Huntsville for striking and killing a police lieutenant with an SUV during a chase more than six years ago. The lethal injection was carried out after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected appeals from his attorneys, who disregarded Lopez’s desire to die and disagreed with lower court rulings that found Lopez was competent to make that decision. “I hope this execution helps my family and also the victim’s family,” said Lopez, who spoke quietly and quickly. “This was never meant to be, sure beyond my power.”

D.C.: Lawsuit targets Foxx

KRYSTAL ARDREY / U.S. AIR FORCE

Four F-16 Fighting Falcons prepare to take off from Incirlik Air Base as the U.S. on Wednesday launched its first airstrikes by Turkey-based jets against Islamic State targets in Syria.

Syrians or Iraqis cooperating with the U.S. A total of six F-16s are operating from Incirlik; they are from the 31st Fighter Wing based at Aviano, Italy. With the threat of Syrian air defenses in mind, the U.S. military is considering how to reconfigure its network of combat search and rescue forces in the region, the senior defense official said. The official indicated those forces are deemed sufficient for the moment but might change. Other officials have said the U.S. also is considering placing refueling aircraft at Incirlik in support of the F-16 mission. After months of negotiations between Washington and Ankara, the Turkish government agreed in late July to permit the U.S. to station aircraft at Incirlik in southern Turkey. A Foreign Ministry official in Ankara said Wednesday that Turkey has not carried out its own airstrikes against the

Islamic State recently because the U.S. asked it to wait so that the two countries can coordinate efforts. The senior U.S. defense official in Washington said the two governments are working on a memorandum of understanding that would set the terms under which Turkish warplanes would be integrated into the U.S.-led air campaign. Christopher Harmer, a senior naval analyst at the Institute for the Study of War and a retired Navy commander, said the deployment of six F-16s to Turkey provides only a marginal improvement to U.S. air operations against the Islamic State, in part by shortening the flying distance to targets in northern Syria. More broadly, the escalation is important for bringing Turkey more directly in the conflict, Harmer said. “Turkey is coming off the sideline,” Harmer said. “More than anybody else in

the region, Turkey did not want to tangle with ISIS,” he added, using an acronym for the Islamic State group. “All that nastiness that ISIS can do could be turned against Turkey in very short order.” The Turkish situation is especially touchy in political terms, in part because Turkey is a NATO ally with a different perspective on the Islamic State problem. Whereas the U.S. is focused on fighting the Islamic State militants and has partnered with Syrian Kurds to that end, Turkey’s main priority is curtailing growing Kurdish power along its southern border with Syria. The Turks worry that Kurdish gains in Iraq and in Syria will encourage a revival of a Kurdish armed insurgency in Turkey in pursuit of an independent state. The PKK, a Kurdish terror group, killed two Turkish police officers and the Turks have retaliated, bombing their positions.

and urinals. The initiatives came four months after Gov. Jerry Brown ordered sweeping water-saving measures in response to the state’s four-year drought. Showerheads sold at stores will be limited to spraying 1.8 gallons a minute — the nation’s strictest limits — starting in July 2018. It will be phased in with a 2 gallons a minute standard starting next July, as is already required for all new construction in the state. Retrofitting of existing building

will not be required. “These new high-efficiency models have the same feel as old-style showerheads, but without the water waste,” said Tracy Quinn, a Natural Resources Defense Council policy analyst. In addition, the state Department of Water Resources is providing enough funding to offer 60,000 residents a $100 rebate to replace an outdated toilet and up to $2,000 to replace grass lawns with drought-tolerant landscaping. Other standards approved by

the energy commission earlier this year take effect in January. Urinals can’t flush more than an eighth of a gallon, down from half a gallon. All faucets were previously allowed to pour 2.2 gallons a minute: The updated standards lower that to 1.2 gallons for home bathrooms, 1.8 gallons for kitchens and a halfgallon for public bathrooms. Together, the tougher appliance standards are expected to eventually save 138 billion gallons of water a year, according to energy commission estimates.

Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx was paid nearly a half-million dollars by a bus company while mayor of Charlotte, North Carolina, even though he performed no work for the company, according to a lawsuit filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The lawsuit was filed in North Carolina by Elaine Rudisill, a trustee for the bankrupt bus company, DesignLine USA. The suit seeks the return of $421,000 that Foxx was paid over four years as the company’s deputy general counsel. The company’s records do not reflect any work performed by Foxx, according to the lawsuit.

AROUND THE WORLD Egypt: Beheading by ISIS In what could mark an ominous shift in tactics, the Egyptian affiliate of Islamic State on Wednesday posted a gruesome online image purportedly showing the beheaded body of a Croatian man who was abducted last month on the outskirts of Cairo. The execution, if verified, would be the first such targeting of a Westerner by Egypt-based militants and would mark a sharp escalation in Islamic State’s self-declared war on the Egyptian government and economic interests. The still photo showed a decapitated head placed atop a bloodied torso sprawled in the sand.

U.N.: Sex abuse firing The U.N. chief has fired the head of the U.N. peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic over the force’s handling of dozens of sexual and other misconduct allegations, including rape and killing, in the year and a half of its existence.

Construction jobs on upswing The Philadelphia Inquirer PHILADELPHIA — Brian Martin, 33, almost gave up on being a bricklayer during the recession. He loved the work but couldn’t get any, so he joined the vast army of construction workers rendered jobless by the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. “I thought about going back to school,” said Martin, taking a break from work at the University of Pennsylvania’s newest dormitory. Up on the scaffolding, Rocco D’Angelico, 59, said he managed to keep working as a bricklayer during the recession, but now he’s looking toward retirement because of “all the aches and pains in my bones.” Together, D’Angelico and Martin represent the two forces — recession and retirement — that explain why construction jobs are among the occupations projected to grow the most and the fastest in the next decade.

Bricklayer Ray Bello works on a college dormitory Monday in Philadelphia.

Every two years, the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics issues a report on the nation’s fastest-growing occupations, with the latest projecting job growth to 2022. The next, projecting jobs to 2024, is expected in December. Nationally, laborers and

carpenters are expected to add 478,000 jobs by 2022, the BLS projected. In Philadelphia, the Metropolitan Regional Council of Carpenters’ newest apprentice class numbers 250, its largest since 2008. On any building site, carpenters and laborers are the

two categories of workers most needed, so it is no surprise that they would be the most needed in the future. On a percentage basis, however, some of the specialty trades, such as the work done by bricklayers D’Angelico and Martin, are projected to see the fastest growth. Brick and stone-laying occupations are expected to grow by 35 percent, with 25,200 needed by 2022. Other fast-growing jobs in the building trades are insulation workers, brick-mason helpers and pavement-layers. “We have 120 apprentices starting in September,” said Dennis Pagliotti, president of Local 1 of the Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers union in Philadelphia. “We’re at full employment.” With more recruiters coming each year, every senior enrolled in the Williamson College of the Trades’ carpentry and masonry programs in suburban Philly had at least one job offer by their May See JOBS, Page A10

Boeing seeks 767 boost “We’re still looking for opportunities to how to make the airplane even more efficient,” exec says. By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

There is still a market for Boeing’s 767, the company’s Chief Financial Officer Greg Smith said Wednesday at the Jefferies Global Industrials Conference in New York. In recent years, commercial sales had largely fallen off for the airplane, which was Boeing’s first twin-engine, twin-aisle jetliner. The largest remaining demand appeared to be for military aerial refueling tankers based on the 767. However last month, FedEx ordered 50 767 freighters. The package shipping and delivery company got its first 767 in 2013. It is the biggest order in the 767 program’s history and seems to have breathed new life into the line, which is ramping up production next year from 1.5 to 2 airplanes a month. “It’s a very capable, proven, efficient product,” Smith said at the conference. “And so, I think we’ll continue to see a healthy demand for that product line.” “But, at the same time, we’re still looking for opportunities to how to make the airplane even more efficient,” he said. The company is looking to improve 767 production with “some of the best practices off the 737 and the 777 as an example,”

Shell’s CEO discusses Arctic drilling plans The CEO of Royal Dutch Shell said he decided to drill for oil off the coast of Alaska after a careful evaluation of the risks. In a BBC interview Wednesday, Ben van Beurden said that although drilling in the Arctic carries an “increased risk profile” because of the fragile environment, the reservoir Shell is exploring is “from a technical perspective relatively easy. ... You have to make a judgment, can I do this in a responsible way? That is a bit of a personal journey that I had to go through ... We believe that we can responsibly explore for hydrocarbons in Alaska.” Shell has received permission to drill at two sites in the Chukchi Sea.

Total June hiring rose to 5.18 million U.S. employers filled more of their available jobs in June, evidence that steady if modest economic growth is putting more Americans to work. The Labor Department said Wednesday that total hiring rose 2.3 percent to 5.18 million in June, the most in six months and second-highest total since the recession ended in June 2009. Employers posted fewer job openings, but that figure has risen strongly in the past year. And more people quit their jobs, which is a good sign because many people quit when they have new jobs lined up, typically at higher pay.

he said. Boeing’s major focus now is on delivering on its huge backlog of airplane orders and cutting costs to improve returns, he said. The company has moved through 18 rate increases since 2009, and has another five scheduled, Smith said. “So, this is about delivering efficiently, profitably

on that backlog, and continuing to execute.” Demand remains high for single-aisle airplanes. Boeing plans to increase 737 output to 52 a month by 2018. Airbus is also ramping up at a similar rate. Even so, there is pressure from customers to push production

After three years of enormous growth, the worldwide tablet market continues to decline. Tablet shipments in the second quarter fell 11 percent year over year to 42.5 million units, according to the latest report from Canalys. Shipments fell in every worldwide region “with no reason to believe that growth will return in the short term,” the research firm said. Among the challenges: Sales in high-growth markets are dwindling as large-screen smartphones grow in popularity. And coming up, tablets will have to compete against a new wave of twoin-one laptop hybrid devices designed to take advantage of Windows 10.

Firm to pay millions after death of worker Bumble Bee Foods agreed to pay $6 million to settle criminal charges Wednesday in the death of a worker who was cooked in an oven with tons of tuna. Jose Melena, 62, died three years ago in a 270-degree oven at the seafood company’s Santa Fe Springs, California, plant after a co-worker believed he was in the bathroom and filled a pressure cooker with six tons of canned tuna. “This is the worst circumstances of death I have ever, ever witnessed,” a deputy district attorney said. “I think any person would prefer to be — if they had to die some way — would prefer to be shot or stabbed than to be slowly cooked in an oven.” From Herald news services

graduation, said Michelle Martella, the school’s development officer. With so many cranes in the skies, the Philadelphia area looks like an aviary — and indeed, construction man-hours are up, year-to-date and year-over-year, according to a report from the General Building Contractors Association. But, said labor economist Paul Harrington, director of Drexel University’s Center for Labor Markets and Policy, other factors are at work when analyzing the BLS’s statistics on growth in the construction trades. “It’s the recovery,” he said. “It’s not part of a structural change. “Remember, you lost 40 percent of construction employment (during the recession), so you have to crawl back a long way just to break even,” he said. “And we ain’t back yet.” Economist Bernard Markstein of Markstein Advisors tracks construction employment for the nonunion contractors’ national association, Associated Builders and Contractors Inc. “A lot of people exited the construction industry” during the recession, Markstein said. “When the housing bubble was popped, you were laid off — it wasn’t a few months, it was several years. Some (workers) moved and went to the energy industry. If you were a heavy-equipment operator, you could work for fracking,

A lot of people exited the construction industry. — Bernard Markstein, Markstein Advisors

handling the heavy equipment. “Some were able to get related jobs in manufacturing,” he said. “Some of them took the huge proverbial pay cut. “Some older workers retired. “As construction is coming back, the retired people are five years older. They aren’t going to re-enter. Some who got stable work (in other fields) aren’t willing to give it up,” Markstein said. During the recession, he said, contractors kept their best employees, but didn’t build a pipeline. “They have gone five years without training new people (while also) losing the trained people,” he said. “The result is ... there is a shortage of skilled labor.” An “overwhelming majority” of contractors surveyed in December by the union group, the Association of General Contractors, said they planned to expand their payrolls in 2015 and 2016. Average weekly hours for construction workers rose to 39.9 hours in June, the highest weekly June rate since the statistic was first tracked in 1947, the group reported. Unemployment in the trades fell to its lowest level since 2001.

fellow Notre Dame professors Brad Badertscher and Peter Easton, investors who noticed a 2012 call report on BOK Financial Corp. would have been able to determine that its banking unit had $60.4 million of profits in the fourth quarter, indicating the company would fall short of the $75.2 million that analysts expected for the entire firm. The Tulsa, Oklahoma, firm’s stock price dropped slightly between the Jan. 30, 2012, call report and the Feb. 1 earnings release, though trading volumes remained average. When the earnings report came out — with earnings per share at $0.98 instead of the $1.10 consensus estimate — the stock’s slide accelerated, losing 4.3 percent that day. A sophisticated investor who saw the call report and decided to short-sell BOK’s shares would have made money. In a short sale, an investor borrows stock from a third party, betting that the price will fall, and pockets the difference if it does.

of the Comptroller of the Currency — declined to comment. Getting the call reports before earnings can be an advantage even though they provide raw data without any commentary from the bank, said Matt Olney, who covers BOK and other banks in the Southwest U.S. as managing director of Stephens Inc., a Little Rock, Arkansas, investment manager. If a decline in a bank’s credit quality is evident, that would probably be “a very telling sign,” said Olney, who uses the reports in his coverage. From January 2012 to March 2014, call reports were published ahead of earnings reports for banks including CIT Group Inc.; First Citizens BancShares Inc.; a bank unit of Franklin Resources Inc.; and a bank then owned by insurer MetLife Inc., according to the Notre Dame study. When call reports were issued in advance, a stock’s price volatility was higher than usual, the study showed. Though the study said there’s a “flood of marketmoving information” in call reports, it’s unclear how much it influences trading.

the call report. Last year, while Tyler, Texas, Southside Bancshares Inc. prepared to release Feb. 10 earnings that would far surpass expectations, regulators put out the bank’s financial data in a call report that clearly laid out the good news for investors more than a week in advance. So what’s the problem with putting out the early information, as long as it’s public? One answer: It’s not so easy to find — since it comes out on different days at different times, savvy investors could have an edge if they actively monitor the website of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. Banks have to send the data within 30 days of the end of each quarter, and within about six hours of sending it, the information is available on the FFIEC’s website. If a bank is planning its earnings announcement more than 30 days after the quarter, chances are good that investors can get a preview through the call report. Hedge funds that specialize in smaller banks would get “highly pertinent” information in these call reports, said Art Wilmarth, a George Washington University law professor, but “you wouldn’t expect most casual investors to be doing this.” Other investors could be left “behind the curve,” he said.

Bank fined millions for deposit thefts Associated Press WASHINGTON — Citizens Bank is returning $14 million to customers in an agreement with federal regulators for failing to credit customers the full amounts of their deposits. The Rhode Island bank also was fined a total $20.5 million by three federal

agencies. Altogether, customers with hundreds of thousands of checking accounts were shorted millions of dollars starting in 2008, regulators said Wednesday. The action was brought by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Treasury

Department’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Citizens Bank pocketed the difference in cases where the totals marked on deposit slips didn’t match the actual money deposited, or when the bank’s scanners misread deposit slips or checks, the regulators said.

IN OUR VIEW | Gov. Inslee’s environmental initiatives

Moving on for clean air, water Having hit a wall of opposition in the Legislature this session, Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee remains committed to moving forward in some fashion with his initiatives for cleaner air and water. Inslee, who favors baseball metaphors, struck out three times with proposed legislation: ■■His proposal for a capand-trade system to reduce industrial carbon emissions, which he also saw as a way to raise revenue for the state, got few takers, even among Democrats. ■■His effort to proceed with rule-making that would have introduced a low-carbon fuel standard for automotive fuel, reducing carbon emissions 10 percent over 10 years, was turned back. Republicans in the Senate threatened to pull funding for public transit projects from the transportation package unless Inslee and the state Department of Ecology halted work on the rule. In the end, Inslee decided against swallowing what had been called the “poison pill.”

■■And legislation passed the House but failed in the Republican-controlled Senate that would have placed stronger controls on toxic chemicals to prevent their release into the environment so they wouldn’t have to be removed downstream. Inslee wanted to pair that legislation with a state-led effort to update water quality standards under the federal Clean Water Act. Without a state plan for such an update, the job will fall to the federal Environmental Protection Agency. In a phone interview with The Herald Editorial Board on Tuesday, Inslee reiterated his administration’s commitment to his environmental goals. In late July Inslee directed the Ecology Department to stop work on its draft clean water rule and consider other options for moving forward with its goals, in the absence of the rejected legislation. But there’s little time left. The state’s report on its response was due to the EPA earlier this month, and the EPA could act in a matter of

weeks, Inslee admitted. Prospects may be better for progress on a carbon cap. With no legislative support for his cap-and-trade plan, Inslee has directed Ecology to move forward with the cap, if not the trade. The governor intends to begin a process that could take a year or more to set an upper limit for industries in their carbon emissions, the difference being that the state government would not auction off carbon credits, removing the revenue-generating portion of the plan. Industries could still trade the credits, allowing those who emit less carbon to sell to those who emit more, but the state would not see a cut from that market. At least at first. Improved revenue forecasts and closing of some tax loopholes brought in $3.8 billion of the $4 billion that Inslee said would be needed for education funding and other social services this session, meaning revenue from the cap-andtrade plan wasn’t necessary. But Inslee believes it will be necessary in the near future.

The Legislature, as it wrestles with the McCleary decision, still must devise a plan to equalize school levies. Some Republicans are suggesting a plan that could increase property tax rates for about half of the state’s homeowners. Inslee sees inserting the revenue from “trade” back into cap-and-trade, as well as a reconsideration of the capital gains tax, which also failed this session, as preferable to most state residents to an increase in property taxes. We have previously advised the governor to launch public information campaigns on these initiatives. That’s still our advice. A showing of public support is key to getting the Legislature’s buy-in. The reasons to do these things should be clear, but we’ll restate the obvious: This involves our health because of the fish and other food we consume and the air we breathe, and it involves recognizing the impacts on our environment that will only grow with each passing decade.

your hot water do you run it until it is hot at the tap? What happens to the cooler water? I call this “clean grey water” and collect it for my garden. We need to think about such normal habits.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■SOCIAL SECURITY

Lack of good jobs is the problem Your Tuesday editorial on saving Social Security was appreciated. (“Steps for saving the safety net.”) Raising the payroll tax cap beyond the arbitrary $118,500 limit is a nobrainer. Indeed, why should payroll taxes be capped at all? If all Social Security tax caps were removed, there would be little need for raising the tax rate percentage or raising the retirement age. The disability program is a trickier wicket, but most would at least agree that the definition of “disability” needs to be tightened. Still, these proposed fixes ignore the big issue. People need jobs in order to pay Social Security taxes: Lack of jobs is the problem. The celebration of automation — be it with assembly line robots, digital prompts on telephone call centers, delivery drones, or self-service at every juncture of our lives — is very effectively eliminating the source of the Social Security trust funds. Jobs for people are the obvious answer. Of course, making those jobs as well paid and as interesting and as upwardly mobile as possible not only offers a better life for the employee, it also adds tax revenue to Social Security. Sadly, our society has been sold the mistaken notion that we save money by “tightening” staff, eliminating “excess” workers and finding ways to force fewer people to do more work for less pay. As a nation, we are losing the ability to work for a living. It is being stolen from us by those who seek larger profits. What a surprise then that fewer people are paying Social Security taxes? The concept of “shadow work” is the notion that we are absorbing the work once done by others in what amounts to a second-shift job for ourselves. It happens when we make airline connections, assemble our own furniture, trouble-shoot our cable television and computer, or shop online without a knowledgeable sales clerk. We think we are saving money and getting a better product. We aren’t thinking too long or hard about what we are losing. A job, a work ethic, pride of accomplishment and, yes, a Social Security deduction are becoming historical artifacts in America. We have so much work that needs to be done in this country. And we have so many people without productive

My home is already lean in water use. I have not watered my lawn this year, nor washed my car at home. I am also participating in the Snohomish Conservation District “Lawns to Lettuce” program to convert my lawns to permanent and productive plants to save water.

■■ARMY TRAINING

Forest requests need full EIS Thank you for the Aug. 9 editorial, “No helicopters in the wilderness.”Your focus upon the back country areas proposed for helicopter landing zones in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest requests that the Army reconsider some of the proposed sites. Pilchuck Audubon Society provided comment through a Washington Audubon comment letter to the U.S. Army. That letter noted the potentially adverse impacts upon federally and state listed threatened species in the OkanoganWenatchee National Forest (Northern spotted owl in particular), and in Southwest Washington where the marbled murrelet populations are in serious decline. We have asked the U.S. Army to consider doing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) rather than the informative but far less rigorous environmental assessment. We are especially concerned that the Army’s scoping notice says the training may eventually include more than the Army’s helicopter training in future years. This suggests other federal and military exercises

■■SOCIALISM

Word has lost genuine meaning Much talk demeaning socialism and anyone associated with it has filled the letters to the editor lately. The question is what do Medicare, Social Security, unemployment insurance, tuition assistance, environmental protection, public education, a minimum wage, workmen’s compensation, anti-discrimination rights, disability insurance, school lunch programs, Head Start, investing in inner cities, energy alternative subsidies, a progressive income tax, any income tax, cap and trade to help stop global warming, and overtime for over 40 hours have in common? They have all been called socialism. They also are all supported by Pope Francis. Has the word socialism come to be a way of demonizing caring people? When will the Christian right ever wake up to its hypocrisy? When will we stop being an embarrassment in the world? Rick Walker Snohomish

Trump is the Honey Badger; he don’t care

t is perhaps time to stop wondering what The Donald’s got that the others ain’t got. What he’s got is conservative America’s number, which has less to do with policy or political purity than with an evolutionary tic that’s been developing for decades. It also has little to do with social issues, other candidates might note, though some values voters may also like Trump. KATHLEEN PARKER Nor is it exclusively the economy, stupid — that cannonball of wisdom forever shackled to James Carville’s name. Indeed, Trump’s fans may have revealed themselves to be ABDs (All But Democrats), since Trump himself is an ABD. But for his recent conversions — pro-life with exceptions, walls make good immigration policy, and repealand-replace Obamacare “with something terrific!” — he would be giving Hillary Clinton a primary run for her money (and possibly some of his). What Trump primarily has is a manner of speaking. (And how.) His many outbursts, insults and invectives are by now familiar enough to be boring — and not at all the point. The point is what he said to Fox News’ Megyn Kelly during the first debate when she asked about disparaging remarks he has made about women and whether he has the temperament to be president. Trump, who frequently reminds us that he’s a very busy man, said he didn’t have time for such political correctness. Huh? It was a fair question in my book — and probably to most women. It was not a “politically correct” question, as Trump insisted, nor do his intemperate words measure up to the kind of serious scrutiny that true political correctness does. An insult is not the same as stifling ideas or political thought, as has been the rage. But mention PC to a constituency that despises an increasingly alien (PC correction: unfamiliar) country whose core principles are routinely ridiculed by popular culture — and who perceive illegal immigrants (PC correction: undocumented workers) as receiving greater deference than hardworking Americans barely scraping by — and you, my friend, are a hero. The fact that Trump has emerged not only unscathed but triumphant after his subsequent and disgusting remarks about Kelly, whom he described post-debate as having “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever,” speaks trumpets and trombones to critics’ shakers, scrapers and cowbells. Trumpists, like Honey Badger, don’t care. Come to think of it, Trump is Honey Badger. (Footnote: Honey Badger was a YouTube sensation a few years ago that many un-PC types found hilarious, if also profane and revolting. Not for children.) Attempting to cover his posterior, Trump says he was thinking of Kelly’s nose when he said “wherever.” Really. We all have wherever/whatever moments, but “nose” isn’t one of those words that sends us foraging for misplaced vocabulary. Rather than apologize, which would be as foreign to Trump as a woman his age, he’s insisting that Kelly apologize to him. Classic narcissism. Trump is like the murderer who blames the victim for being home when he was burglarizing the victim’s house. Meanwhile, Trump tweeted (no wonder he’s so busy) that Fox News President Roger Ailes had called him and smoothed things over. How perfectly ... practical. For her part, Kelly announced on “The Kelly File” Monday night that she wouldn’t be responding to Trump’s taunts and she certainly wouldn’t apologize for doing her job. In a political arena lacking same, that’s what classy looks like. Perhaps now, as Kelly suggested, we can move on, but do people really want to? Trump is the quintessential partisan divider whom people feel obligated to denounce but love to watch. Ailes knows that 24 million viewers tuned into the debate not to delve deeply into Scott Walker’s biblical psyche but because Trump would be there. Trump, of course, knows this, too. After so much history that would destroy anyone else’s candidacy, it’s hard to imagine what would cause Trump’s fans to abandon him. My own unscientific surveys turn up a consistent refrain: “I would never vote for him, but I like the way he stirs things up” Polling reflects that the second part of that sentence is probably true. And I’m no longer sure I believe the first part. Kathleen Parker’s email address is kathleenparker@washpost.com.

Clash: Union representative calls vote ‘unacceptable’ From Page A1

“I’ve never seen a motion like this,” Wright said. “I don’t approve of the process.” Sullivan said they should put the issue “back where it belongs, in executive session.” Ryan said the executive offered cost-of-living increases that go beyond the inflation benchmarks in the Consumer Price Index. He said he’d have a hard time looking employees in the eye if he approved that raise, then had to lay off parts of the county workforce to make budget. “I feel terrible about the situation,” he said. “We didn’t create it. It was dumped in our laps.” Lovick called the council’s vote “a slap in the face” for county workers. He said county negotiators have been acting in good faith. “These employees are

skilled and hard-working women and men dedicated to delivering a variety of essential services to the community, from engineering our roads and bridges to providing nursing services to our most vulnerable citizens,” he said in a press release. Lovick also called the council’s action “unjustified and unprecedented in the history of Snohomish County.” He said it put the county “at risk for an almost certain unfair labor practice allegation by the union.” The executive acknowledged that some county employees could lose jobs next year, but contends that has nothing to do with the current negotiations. “If we have layoffs, it will not be because of this contract,” he said. It’s up to the union to decide whether negotiations continue, Lovick said. The union’s old master

agreement expired at the end of 2014. It included cost-of-living increase of 1.35 percent for the first year of the contract and 1.5 percent for the next two. It’s common for local governments to finalize a new union contract months after the old one has expired. Terms of the new contract aren’t available to the public. Union officials and Lovick said County Council members haven’t even read it. Somers said he’s been demanding an update from the executive for more than two months and has yet to receive one. Typically, details such as pay, medical benefits and leave get hashed out behind closed doors before a proposal reaches the council for a vote. “We are asking you guys here to respect the process, to respect the negotiations and to respect the employees,” Matthew Miller, a

staff representative for the union, told council members Wednesday. After the vote, Miller raised his voice to tell the room: “This is unacceptable.” Union President Chris Dugovich criticized Somers directly. “He’s playing politics,” he said. “He’s going to knock all of the employees down in an attempt to be elected.” Dugovich heads up the Washington State Council of County and City Employees, whose 16,000plus members include more than half of Snohomish County employees. The public-employee union has donated $1,900 to Lovick’s re-election. Firefighters, sheet metal and health care unions figure prominently among the incumbent’s other backers. Somers has not attracted strong union support, but

has raised about $91,000 so far — nearly double Lovick’s total. Large chunks of Somers’ support have come from homebuilders, environmentalists and aerospace interests. For more than a year, a majority of the council has been locked in an ongoing battle with the executive’s office over pay raises for managers. Last year, the council revoked 10 percent raises for some of Lovick’s top managers. They said the executive followed an incorrect process that isn’t allowed under county code. This year, the same three-member bloc of the council rolled back a 21 percent raise that Lovick had approved for Sara Bhagat, an attorney who oversees parts of the system that provides lawyers to indigent defendants. She happens to be the daughter of U.S. Sen. Patty Murray. In

May, the executive raised Bhagat’s pay 25 percent, to $108,124.92, using a different method. Somers and his council allies said the manager raises set an unrealistic precedent for the rest of the county workforce. Budget challenges include the potential loss of about $5 million in sales tax revenue at Quil Ceda Village, the flailing county courthouse project and costs from the Oso mudslide. While some council members sound the alarm about what that means, the executive’s office gives county finances a more upbeat assessment. Lovick issued a press release last week about ratings agencies giving the county a strong bond rating and stable outlook. Noah Haglund: 425339-3465; nhaglund@ heraldnet.com. Twitter: @ NWhaglund.

Restrictions on stormwater runoff and other environmental regulations make some land too costly to develop, he said. Environmentalists and anti-sprawl advocates defend such regulations and growth boundaries as necessary to maintaining the area’s quality of life. Some developers have built up, rather than out. Downtown Everett has seen hundreds of new apartments built in recent years. But increasing building heights can meet local opposition in some areas, such as in Edmonds, Pattison said. It could “take an affordability crisis” to resolve the situation, he said. The median home price in Snohomish County in July was $362,987, an 8.35 percent increase from a year ago. King County’s median price of $485,000 last month was a 3.63 percent rise. Across Washington, the median price was up 4.11 percent, according to the NWMLS.

homeowners are hesitant to sell without new housing lined up, said Matthew Gardner, chief economist at Windermere Real Estate. “It creates a classic chicken-and-egg scenario.” At the current pace of

sales, home buyers would go through all houses on the market in Snohomish County in less than two months, according to the NWMLS. King County has an even lower supply — enough to last about five weeks. The

NWMLS recorded an average inventory of slightly more than two months. A healthy market has five or six months worth of inventory. Homes for sale are expected to remain in short supply through next

summer, but Gardner said he doesn’t see any sign of a housing bubble. The last bubble — which burst in 2007, prompting the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression — was fueled in large part by speculative

construction and banks making bad loans, neither of which are happening now in metro Puget Sound, he said. Dan Catchpole: 425339-3454; dcatchpole@ heraldnet.com; Twitter: @ dcatchpole.

The district’s rules state that students can only do so before or after the hours of instruction, and only outside the entrances of the school. The judge tossed out a part of the policy that requires the printed material to have been written or produced by the student. Leal’s attorney, Kevin

Snider of the Pacific Justice Institute in Sacramento, California, said this concludes the case unless the school district files an appeal. School district spokeswoman Mary Waggoner said the district’s attorneys had not indicated whether they would appeal the decision.

In assessing attorney fees, Zilly reduced Snider’s request by 15 percent due to the vagueness of some of the claims, but allowed some additional costs for travel and follow-up work, arriving at a total of $120,638.26 that the school district must pay. The Washington Schools

Risk Management Pool, which defended the district, will cover the entire amount, Waggoner said. “It is disappointing that the district’s insurance company is being held responsible for the full cost of the Michael Leal’s attorney fees — even though his attorneys did not prevail on

all points for their client,” Everett schools superintendent Gary Cohn said in a statement. Leal graduated from Cascade High School in the spring. Chris Winters: 425374-4165; cwinters@ heraldnet.com. Twitter: @ Chris_At_Herald.

Football coaches top list of state salaries Associated Press SPOKANE — Washington State University football coach Mike Leach and University of Washington football coach Chris Peterson topped the list of salaries received by state employees last year. Leach was paid $2.75 million, while Peterson made $2.686 million, according to the latest salary information on all state employees reported Wednesday by The Spokesman-Review.

Whidbey jets can practice landings

Leach and Peterson don’t get their paychecks from taxpayers. Athletic salaries at both universities come from ticket sales and television revenues, but they are funneled through the state. The two football coaches are followed by Husky basketball coach Lorenzo Romar at $1.13 million and WSU basketball coach Ernie Kent at $1.05 million. Scott Woodward, Husky athletic director, was fifth at almost $719,000. The late Elson Floyd,

WSU president, was the highest paid non-athletic employee on the list. His $689,000 salary placed him between Woodward and WSU athletic director Bill Moos. Only one person among the top 100 employees was not connected to UW or WSU. That’s Gary Bruebaker, the chief investment officer for the state investment board, who earned $509,000. Board salaries aren’t paid by taxpayers, either, but from net

investment earnings. Many top-paid university employees are researchers whose work is supported by government or industry grants, and their salaries don’t come from tax funds or tuition. Of the 36 state employees who made more than $400,000, only seven were women, led by UW Vice President Johnese Spisso. The salary figures are for 2014, so this year Spisso might be passed by Ana Marie Cauci, who

was UW provost last year but was named interim president after Michael Young resigned in February to take a similar post at Texas A & M. Young made $600,750 last year in base salary. Among elected officials, the nine members of the state Supreme Court were the highest paid. They were in a nine-way tie for 1,487th place with salaries of $169,188. Gov. Jay Inslee makes $166,881, putting him in 1,557th place.

At the top of its world

Associated Press SEATTLE — A federal judge has refused to order an injunction sought by neighbors of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island to stop noisy jet fighters from practicing aircraft-carrier landings. The Seattle Times reported that the residents claimed the Navy’s decision to resume flights of the Growler aircraft is ruining their health because of the noise. A federal judge said Tuesday that the group failed to show that overflights by the Navy’s newest electronicwarfare aircraft were worse than predicted in a 2005 environmental assessment of the flights’ impacts. The group first sued in 2013. The case was stayed after the Navy agreed to temporarily suspend landings. The group sought an injunction in April after the Navy resumed operations in 2014. Court documents say the Navy has been flying as many as 9,000 carrier-landing practices a year.

Wildfire burning near Spokane threatens 30 homes Associated Press SPOKANE — A wildfire burning on the northern outskirts of Spokane is not growing, but firefighters were wary that hot weather and winds could spread the flames Wednesday. The fire has burned 150 acres and temporarily forced the evacuation of some homes Tuesday. People have since been allowed back in their homes, but have

been told to be ready to leave at a moment’s notice. Crews spent Tuesday building a trail around the fire, but officials said none of it was contained as of Wednesday morning. The fire is burning near Indian Trail Road and Rutter Parkway on the northwest side of Spokane. It is in the same area as the Little Spokane Fire that broke out in early July. Officials for the state Department of Natural Resource

said the fire was threatening 20 to 30 homes. Meanwhile, a huge wildfire along the west shore of Lake Chelan grew a bit Wednesday to 56.2 square miles. Fire officials worried about temperatures approaching 100 degrees with gusty winds Wednesday. They expect increased fire activity, according to a press release. Sparked by lightning on June

29, the Wolverine Fire was only 20 percent contained and continued to threaten the communities of Holden Village and Stehekin. The fire was within a mile of Holden Village, where crews have set up a fuel break and sprinkler system to protect the community. The area has been evacuated since July 31. So far, the fire has destroyed one home and three outbuildings near Domke Lake. There are 540

people battling the flames. About 15 miles west, a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail remained closed because of a 170-acre wildfire. Firefighters were brought in to fight the remote fire in an effort to reopen the trail, which has been closed for almost three weeks.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: You’ll have amazing ideas and the ability to learn as you go this year. Don’t look back or let anything sidetrack you from reaching your goals. Change is inevitable, and greater accomplishments will be yours if you accept what comes your way and find ways to incorporate it into your plans. Your numbers are 6, 8, 15, 22, 31, 39, 47. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Put more time and effort into self-improvement and honing skills that will help you advance. Being adaptable and willing to try something new will help you gain respect. Making plans with someone special will raise your standard of living. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Weigh the pros and cons of any changes you are planning to make. It’s important not to overlook any details. How you present what you have to offer will determine who is willing to help you excel. Knowledge will be key. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t overreact to situations that cause concern at home. Communication can help if you stick to facts. Friends and relatives can help you see both sides of a situation clearly. Don’t lose sight of your motives or your ethics. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Someone you encounter at an event about community or environmental concerns will influence you. Listen carefully and consider the consequences of being a follower. Speak up if you don’t agree with something that someone is promoting. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Anger will lead you down the wrong path. Use your energy wisely and you will gain rather than lose ground. Make physical changes that will strengthen your position and help build your confidence. Positive actions will ensure good results. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Secrets will leave

you feeling uncertain. Don’t make assumptions based on false or limited information. Observe the changes going on around you, but don’t be too eager to join forces with anyone until you are assured the benefits you require. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Interacting with people who share your concerns will do wonders for you and your professional interests. Your sociable way of handling matters could impress someone in an active position to change your direction. Romance is in the stars. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Change may be required, but don’t give in to someone wanting everything his or her way. Use your intelligence, intuition and imagination to help you enforce the changes that are fair. Arguing is a waste of time. Make your offer and move on. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be careful what you say and how much you promise. It won’t pay to brag or exaggerate. Someone will call your bluff or question your motives. Bring about positive changes that are focused on selfimprovement. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Use your head when it comes to personal affairs, contracts and negotiating a lifetime commitment. It’s important to know what you want and what you are willing to give. Research will pay off. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Avoid impulsive actions when it comes to work-related matters. Remain calm and look for other possibilities before making a decision that will influence a friendship or partnership. Examine your motives before you proceed. Romance is encouraged. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your charm and insight will help you entice others to see things your way. An opportunity will surface through someone you least expect. Revisit an old idea and you will have success in reaching your goals. It’s never too late to move forward. ★★★ Universal Uclick

Sox top Emeralds The AquaSox break open a tight game with a big eighth inning and beat the Emeralds 6-1 on the road, C3

THURSDAY, 08.13.2015

TED S. WARREN / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fans remain standing near the manual scoreboard at Safeco Field in Seattle after Mariners starting pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma threw a no-hitter against the Orioles on Wednesday.

Historic afternoon M’s starter Iwakuma tosses no-hitter in 3-0 win over Orioles By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The omens, if you believe in such things, were there Wednesday for Mariners righthander Hisashi Iwakuma even before he threw a pitch. Iwakuma was the featured player on the printed ticket distributed to full season-ticket packages. Now, that ticket is a collector’s item. Iwakuma pitched a no-hitter in a brilliant 3-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles at Safeco Field. The end came when center fielder Austin Jackson ran down Gerardo Parra’s fly ball in the left-center gap. “To be honest,” Iwakuma said, “when he first hit that ball, I thought it was going to drop for a base-hit. Then I thought, ‘Oh-oh.’ But when I saw Jackson show his glove up in the air, I was like, ‘Yes!’” Jackson had no doubts. “Oh, come on!” he said. “When it went up in the air — in that situation or, hopefully, any situation — that ball doesn’t touch the ground.” It didn’t. Iwakuma (4-2) turned in jubilation when Jackson made the catch as his teammates rushed to mob him at the mound. He finished with three walks and seven strikeouts. “I think the fifth inning is the longest I’ve ever gone without allowing hit,” Iwakuma said. “The ballgame was a tight ballgame, so I was trying to not think about what was going on. I was focusing on each hitter.” The longest Iwakuma ever carried a no-hitter in 87 previous big-league starts was 41⁄3 innings on Aug. 28, 2012 in a 5-2 victory at Minnesota. But, again, there were signs early on that Wednesday was special. “I started having a feeling in the fifth inning,” catcher Jesus Sucre said, “because he was making some quality pitches. Every time he threw a strike, he was happy. You could see it in his face. “Every time he finished an inning, he was so happy.” See MARINERS, Page C3

learned last season — initially force-feeding Harvin the ball with bubble screens, end-arounds and everything else in the first five games, then after trading him getting back to basing the offense on Marshawn Lynch’s power running — are what Seattle is applying to this spring’s trade for tight end extraordinaire Jimmy Graham. “The cool part about Jimmy is we can just plug him in,”

Seahawks offensive coordinator and play-caller Darrell Bevell said following Thursday’s lightningaltered practice No. 11 of training camp. “We really don’t have to do anything special. “He’s special as a player being able to fit into the offense. He’s picked it up very well. We can run the exact same routes that we’ve been running and just kind of plug him in.” So no straying far from Lynch early and often in games to loosen up defenses with See SEAHAWKS, Page C5

he humpy run in local waters is in full bloom just when it should be (the rule of thumb is mid-August), and if you can’t boat a fish or two over the next couple of weeks, you have some serious piscatorial problems. “The pink salmon action is about as hot and heavy as it gets,” said Mike Chamberlain at Ted’s Sports Center in Lynnwood, “and experts are telling me that the success rate at this point is as good as they can recall.” The only downside to the predicted 6.8-million-fish run, Chamberlain said, is that this year’s pinks are a little smaller than usual — maybe 3 pounds on the average instead of the normal 4 pounds. Pinks can be found pretty much anywhere now along the Edmonds/Everett shoreline — Brown’s Bay, Picnic Point, the shipwreck, humpy hollow and Mukilteo. Chamberlain said his customers are hooking fish from the surface down to really deep, but that the majority are probably being caught at 30 to 70 feet or so. The standard trolling rig is a size “0” dodger or 8-inch flasher in white or white/pearl, followed by about 12 inches of heavy leader (dodger) or 16 inches (flasher) and a hot pink minisquid on either one 3/0 hook or a double, 1/0 and 2/0/ Pinks are decent table fish and great smokers, but they’re fragile and have to be treated with care. Bleed and/or clean the fish immediately and be prepared to get them on ice as soon as possible. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has a pretty good pink salmon primer online, text and video, at www.wdfw.

Creel samplers with the WDFW on Saturday at the Port of Everett ramp checked 533 anglers in 226 boats with 1,139 pinks and 12 coho, and on Sunday it was 575 anglers in 233 boats with 1,006 pinks and 28 coho. At the Point Wilson beach fishery on Sunday, 25 fishermen had 1 coho and 4 pinks; at the Port Angeles ramp 71 anglers had 3 chinook, 4 coho, and 127 pinks; and at the Cornet Bay ramp at Deception Pass State Park, 59 fishermen had 11 chinook and 80 pinks. Part of the reason this year’s humpy fishery in local waters is unusually good is that biologists have predicted a massive return to the Snohomish River system of 1.6 million fish. That’s about 600,000 salmon over the average for the last four odd-year runs, managers say, and those are the fish now providing fun and games in marine areas 9 and 8-1. Chamberlain said the Snohomish River fishery hasn’t kicked in yet, perhaps at least partially due to much warmer water temperatures than normal in this drought-ridden summer. The Skagit is a better bet right now for river fishermen. Kevin John at Holiday Sports in Burlington said that while it’s not yet the peak of the run, fishing has generally been pretty good from Mount Vernon to above Burlington. “Temperatures may be holding them (pinks) out in saltwater

to a degree, but on a good high tide they’re coming in fine,” John said. River trollers are pulling spoons such as the Dick Nite and Wicked Willy, while plunkers are soaking sand shrimp or an FST. Lure colors are usually red, pink or red/white, John said.

Crab closures Because of the recent closure of most of the coast to commercial and recreational crabbing, due to unsafe levels of marine toxins, fishers are wondering if there’s any correlation between that and a possible closure of the in-Sound recreational crab season for similar reasons. Almost certainly not, says state crab manager Don Velasquez at WDFW’s Mill Creek office. He says there has been no intimation that the state Health Department has even been considering an in-Sound crab closure, but says nervous crabbers may want to follow the situation on the Health agency’s website, www.doh.wa.gov, then click on Commercial and Environmental Health. He also suggested checking out crab cleaning and cooking guidelines on WDFW’s website. “To my knowledge there has never been a marine-toxin-caused crab closure in the Sound,” Velasquez says. “Plenty of clam and mussel closures, but not crab.” Which is a good thing, because this is shaping up as a banner crab season, Velasquez says. Particularly in marine area 8-1, around Oak Harbor and Maple Grove, and in area 8-2. “Crabbing in those two areas has been better than good,” he says.

Associated Press PHOENIX — Noelle Quinn made three of Phoenix’s 10 3-pointers and finished with 13 points to help the Mercury beat Seattle 83-66 on Wednesday night for their ninth straight victory over the Storm. Phoenix is 11⁄2 games behind Western Conference-leading Minnesota, which clinched a playoff spot Tuesday night. Cayla Francis and DeWanna Bonner added 11 points apiece for Phoenix (15-8). Mistie Bass had nine points and 10 rebounds. Ramu Tokashiki and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis each scored 14 points for Seattle (6-18). Sue Bird did not play, sitting out the second game of the Storm’s back-to-back. Seattle fell behind 26-17 after one quarter, but MosquedaLewis scored 12 points in the second to keep the Storm within reach at 52-42. Seattle only scored five points in the third, going the final 5 minutes without a point. The teams combined for just 13 points in the third.

Baker Lake sockeye The number of sockeye trapped this year at Baker Dam, 27,605 fish through Tuesday, is approaching the record of 28,410 set in 2012, and there are still fish coming. The count currently stands second, ahead of the 2011 count, 27,195, and an additional 164 sockeye were trapped on Tuesday.

Waterfowl seasons With a record number of ducks counted on the northern breeding grounds — some 49.5 million compared to last year’s record 49.2 million — the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission has set fall and winter hunting seasons similar to 2014. Set under federal waterfowl guidelines, this year’s hunting opportunities include a 107-day statewide duck season, Oct. 17-21 amd Oct/ 24-Jan. 31. A special youth hunting weekend is scheduled for Sept. 19-20. Most duck limits remain the same, except for canvasback, raised from one to two per day. Goose seasons vary among management areas, but most will open mid-October and run through late January. One new twist involves the Skagit County brant season, scheduled for early January and normally opened for eight days when 6,000 brant were counted during an aerial survey. The new rule authorizes a three-day hunt when counts exceed 3,000 birds but fall below the 6,000 bird threshold.

Sounders add Panamanian center back Torres added to strengthen back line for stretch drive By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

duced record fishing, and the “buoy 10” fishery has held up well. Creel checks last week showed an average of about a chinook for every two rods, which is a very good success rate on kings, according to WDFW biologist Joe Hymer in Vancouver. Anglers are working on fall chinook in the lower river now, Hymer says, which are larger than spring kings, running from mid-teens to the occasional 30-pounder. A prime scenario, he says, would be a high slack morning tide, above the Astoria bridge, on the Washington side, trolling with a 16-ounce lead, an attractor of some kind, then a herring, anchovy or spinner, fished right on bottom in 30 to 35 feet of water or less. Downriggers are frowned on, Hymer says, because of the fish control necessary in a crowded environment. Creel checks on the lower river Monday showed 79 anglers in 30 boats with 33 chinook and 25 coho.

TUKWILA — For most of the Seattle Sounders’ twomonth tumble, goal-scoring has been a bigger problem than goal-preventing. However, the Sounders made a major move to shore up their back end Wednesday with the signing of Panama national team defender Román Torres. “This was a question of a good player that became available and a deal that we couldn’t pass up on,” general manager Garth Lagerwey said. “I think it gives us a little more tactical flexibility.” The Sounders have lost eight of their last nine MLS matches, including four 1-0 defeats. However, Seattle has allowed three goals in each of its last two league games, including a 3-1 loss at Los Angeles on Sunday. In Torres, they believe they have a defender who can also help on the attacking end. “He gives you another target on set pieces,” coach Sigi Schmid said. “It makes it a little bit harder to match up on (center back Chad) Marshall. … Anytime you add another offensive element to the attack it’s good.” Torres’ reputation rose last month during CONCACAF Gold Cup. He was the Panama player called for the controversial handball that allowed Mexico to pull even and eventually win its semifinal match.

DAVID GOLDMAN / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Panama’s Román Torres dribbles the ball in front of Mexico’s Carlos Esquivel (right) during the second half of a CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinal match on July 22 in Atlanta.

And after Mexico advanced, Torres worked to calm flaring tempers. “I thought he had a good Gold Cup,” Schmid said. “I thought he handled himself really well as the captain of the team in a big fracas at the end of the game. But I thought he showed a lot of character.” Terms of the deal were not announced. However, the Sounders used MLS’ new targeted allocation money. Torres, 29, is 6-foot-2 and 195

pounds. He has spent the past 11 seasons in the top leagues of South and Central American soccer, most recently with Millonarios of Colombia. He is a native of Panama City and has 79 appearances with his national team. “What I bring the most here is my strength, my aggressiveness of playing,” Torres said, translated from Spanish. “I’m also very good at playing with my teammates. … I have been able to practice very well with

everybody else. Now I’m just waiting for instructions from the coach about what he wants me to do and hopefully earn a (starting role).” The assumption is that Torres will start alongside Marshall in the middle of the Seattle defense. That would keep Zach Scott in his current reserve role, while perhaps allowing Brad Evans to move outside or return to his former midfield duties. “Zach’s a lion, and he fights and he battles, and he’s still an important member of our team,” Schmid said. “But how many more years does Zach have? We really don’t know at this stage. He’s an important member. It just gives us options. And right now with Ozzie being injured we used Brad in the midfield in that last game, so it gives us that option of pushing Brad into midfield if we need it.” When Evans was shifted to central defense at the beginning of this season, he asked that he be allowed to stay there all season. However, Schmid said he talked with Evans in advance of the Torres move. “We’re good,” he said. Schmid said Torres is expected to be in uniform Sunday when the Sounders meet expansion Orlando City SC at CenturyLink Field. Also available should be Seattle’s high-profile additions from last week: forward Nelson Valdez and midfielder Andreas Ivanschitz. The club also gave its most optimistic indications yet that forward and goals co-leader Obafemi Martins could return from a leg injury that has kept him out throughout this ninegame swoon. However, Schmid indicated that midfielder Osvaldo Alonso and forwards Clint Dempsey and Chad Barrett need more time to recover from hamstring injuries.

Cruz gets day off to rest stiff neck SEATTLE — Nelson Cruz now knows what it’s like to have a pain in the neck and not just be one to opposing clubs. Cruz got the day off Wednesday when the Seattle Mariners closed out their three-game series against Baltimore because of a stiff neck that forced his departure from Tuesday’s 6-5 victory after six innings. The Mariners switched to Franklin Gutierrez to fill Cruz’s spot as the lineup’s No. 3 hitter. Cruz is expected to return to duty for Friday’s game against Boston at Fenway. Cruz characterized his neck as “better” when he entered the clubhouse prior to Wednesday’s game but still turned his shoulders, rather than turning his neck, when he shifted positions. “He’s not quite 100 percent,” manager Lloyd McClendon said, “and we’re going to give him today and tomorrow (Thursday, an open date) to get healthy.” Cruz’s injury stripped the game’s hottest hitter from the Mariners’ lineup. He took a 21-game hitting streak to the bench, along with the major-league lead in homers (34) and hits (140). Cruz’s streak is the longest by a Mariner since outfielder Ichiro Suzuki set the franchise record with a 27game run in 2009. Cruz’s 34 homers are the most by a Mariner since Richie Sexson finished 2006 with 34. Miller surging Maybe Brad Miller hits best when he’s not the full-time shortstop. Miller has six multi-hit games and is batting .366 (15-for-41) since July 28, which roughly coincides with Ketel Marte’s arrival from Triple-A Tacoma. Miller has six extra-base hits and eight RBI in that span. Perhaps it’s a coincidence, but Miller was the American League’s player of the week for May 11-17, which came during Chris Taylor’s month-long run as the starting shortstop. Miller started Wednesday in left field. His recent surge boosted his average from .234 to .251. Rotation plans While the Mariners’ rotation is in place for this weekend in Boston, don’t be surprised if McClendon uses two upcoming open dates in an eight-game span to find additional rest for Taijuan Walker and/or Mike Montgomery. “We’re going to look at it,” McClendon said, “just like we did this time around when we inserted (Hisashi) Iwakuma (ahead of Montgomery). We’ll look at the matchups and then decide what we want to do.” McClendon previously confirmed the Mariners are monitoring innings for Walker and Montgomery. Both are expected to hit their targeted ceilings by mid-September. Short hops The Mariners have won three straight series since the first time since a four-series run in August 2014.

Seager’s spectacular catch in 9th aids Iwakuma’s no-hitter

NEXT SERIES 4:10 p.m. Friday; 10:35 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday

SEATTLE — Every no-hitter seems to require a web gem on defense, and Hisashi Iwakuma’s masterpiece was no different Wednesday afternoon at Safeco Field. Iwakuma entered the ninth inning with the Seattle Mariners holding a 3-0 lead over Baltimore when David Lough lifted a pop foul toward the outfield end of the Baltimore Orioles’ dugout along the thirdbase line. Third baseman Kyle Seager raced over and...well, let him explain. “I thought it was going to stay in,” Seager said. “As I got going, I thought it was going to go into the stands. It kind of came back at the last little bit. In that situation, you’re not letting it get down if you can help it.” Seager won a Gold Glove last season for defensive excellence; who better to be able to help it? He made a spectacular

over-the-shoulder basket catch near the wall for the inning’s first out. Had Seager not made the catch, it wouldn’t have wrecked the no-hitter. It was a foul ball. But Kyle Seager a whiff would have extended Iwakuma, who was already at 112 pitches in what was still just a three-run game. As it was, Iwakuma cited Seager’s “spectacular play” as the moment he allowed himself to start thinking about a no-hitter. Iwakuma then retired Manny Machado on a routine grounder to Seager before Gerardo Parra lofted a fly into left-center field that center fielder Austin Jackson ran down for the final out. Seager shrugged off his play while pointing to Iwakuma’s performance. “He was phenomenal,” Seager said. “He was so good that I’m answering these questions

about a foul ball. That’s how good he was today.” Iwakuma had never pitched a complete game in 87 previous big-league starts before his nohitter. He had never carried a no-hitter past 41⁄3 innings. “When I was young,” Iwakuma recalled, “when I signed, I said, ‘One day, it would be nice to throw a no-hitter.’ Today, I’m very happy to accomplish it. But it was just taking one hitter at a time that made this come true.” Wednesday’s gem was also the clearest evidence yet that Iwakuma is back in top form after missing 11 weeks while recovering from a strained back muscle. He is 4-1 with a 3.05 ERA in eight starts since returning to duty. “I missed a lot of time in the first half of the season,” he said. “Two-and-a-half months. I couldn’t help my team at all. That’s all I had in mind, to come back and give it all I’ve got in every start I have to make up for lost time.”

AQUASOX | Update

TONIGHT’S GAME Everett at Eugene, 7:05 p.m. Radio: KRKO (1380 AM) Probable starting pitchers: Sox TBA vs. left-hander Justin Steele (3-1, 2.40 ERA)

AquaSox cruise past Emeralds Herald staff EUGENE — The Everett AquaSox used a big eighth inning to break open a close game and beat the Eugene Emeralds 6-1 Wednesday night at PK Park. Everett scored first in the game after Logan Taylor led off the fourth inning with a double and stole third. He scored two batters later on Arturo Nieto’s grounder to shortstop to make the score 1-0. Eugene evened things up in the bottom half after an RBI single by Ian Rice. Bats for both sides fell silent until the seventh, when Everett broke the tie with a two-out RBI triple by Drew Jackson to make the score 2-1. Jackson went 2-for-5 on the night. Everett padded the lead in the eighth with three more runs to make the score 5-1. Nieto chipped in with a sacrifice bunt and a throwing error by pitcher Greyfer Eregua scored Taylor from second. Everett added one more run in the ninth when Jackson scored from third on a wild pitch. Everett starter Enyel De Los Santos got the win after pitching six strong innings, striking out seven and allowing four hits.

The Mariners’ Hisashi Iwakuma tips his cap after he threw a no-hitter against the Orioles on Wednesday.

Mariners From Page C1

The crowd of 25,661 stood and cheered as Iwakuma, at 107 pitches, took the mound in the ninth inning. The roar increased each pitch. Third baseman Kyle Seager recorded the first out in the ninth with a marvelous running over-the-shoulder catch on David Lough’s foul pop. It was then, finally, that Iwakuma allowed himself to envision a no-hitter. “When Seager made that spectacular play,” he said. “That kind of made me think, ‘OK, I need to throw well.’” Iwakuma threw well enough. Manny Machado grounded to Seager before Parra flied out to Jackson on Iwakuma’s 116th pitch. “It’s not just a normal loss,” Orioles center fielder Adam Jones acknowledged. “We’re going down in the history books on the bad side of a nohitter. You tip your cap. “The guy threw a hell of a game. Can’t just disrespect what he did. He went out there and did his job. I know him and Sucre were on the same page today.” It was the fourth individual no-hitter in the franchise’s 39-year history: n Randy Johnson beat Detroit 2-0 on June 2, 1990 at

the Kingdome. n Chris Bosio beat Boston 7-0 on April 22, 1993 at the Kingdome. n Felix Hernandez beat Tampa Bay 1-0 on Aug. 15, 2012 in a perfect game at Safeco Field. The Mariners also had a combined no-hitter on June 8, 2012 in a 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers at Safeco Field. Kevin Millwood went six innings before five relievers closed it out. Hernandez was the last American League pitcher to throw a no-hitter. There have been 12 no-hitters by National League pitchers since Hernandez’s gem, including four this season. “I think the outs are tougher (in the AL),” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “I think the lineups are deeper. The DHs are animals. Those are tough outs. There really are no easy outs in the American League.” Iwakuma rolled through the first nine hitters before issuing two walks in the fourth. He then retired 10 in a row before starting the eighth inning with a walk to Jonathan Schoop. Ryan Flaherty took a third strike before Caleb Joseph grounded into a double play. “He didn’t miss,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “You could count two or three pitches that he got in the area to say, ‘Gee, we should have done something with that.’ “And then as some of the

anxiety mounts, you let him take you off the plate completely. That plays in pitcher’s favor when you try to do too much.” The only other Japaneseborn pitcher to throw a no-hitter was Hideo Nomo, who had two: Sept. 17, 1996 at Colorado while pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers; and April 4, 2001 at Baltimore while pitching for Boston. “I never thought I would accomplish this,” Iwakuma said. “A lot of the credit goes to my teammates. They played great defense today, and we had three runs early.” Those three runs came against Baltimore starter Kevin Gausman (2-4) and all came with two outs. Franklin Gutierrez opened the scoring with an RBI double in the third inning before scoring on Robinson Cano’s single. Doubles by Jackson and Sucre in the fourth provided the game’s final run. Then it was just a matter of whether Iwakuma could complete his gem. “I said about three weeks ago that I thought the Bear was back,” McClendon said, “and it’s only getting better. It’s nice to see. This is the longest stretch when I’ve had him that he’s been truly healthy. “The ball is coming out (well). The velocity is back. He can work down in the zone. He can elevate the fastball. That’s what makes him special.”

Cabrera will likely come off Tigers’ disabled list Friday Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Detroit Tigers All-Star first baseman Miguel Cabrera will likely come off the disabled list Friday and start against the Houston Astros. Cabrera, who has not played since July 3 because of a strained left calf, took batting practice and ran the bases Wednesday before the Tigers game with the Kansas City Royals. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said he would be surprised if the 2012 and ‘13 AL MVP does not play in the three-game series against the AL West-leading Astros.

Ex-Angels GM Dipoto joins Bosox MIAMI — Former Los Angeles Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto has been hired by the Boston Red Sox in a short-term consulting role. Dipoto will assist general manager Ben Cherington and the baseball operations department in evaluating talent and assisting with offseason plans, the Red Sox said.

Now an analyst, Kennedy fondly recalls UW career By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Lincoln Kennedy already knows how much has changed at the University of Washington since he last put on a Huskies uniform in the 1993 Rose Bowl. But the thunder and lightning on Wednesday offered a comical reminder. Dark skies threatened the Huskies during their fifth practice of preseason camp, so as a precaution, they moved their workout inside to the Dempsey Indoor practice facility. Kennedy, in his first season as an on-air analyst for the Pac-12 Networks, was in town to help film the network’s UW

For his efforts — many consider him one of the most dominant offensive linemen of his era — Lincoln was inducted in January into the College Football Hall of Fame, an honor he said he never expected. “To be honest, I didn’t know I was that good,” said Kennedy, who towered over opponents as a 6-foot-6, 335-pound tackle. “You know what, it really is a dream come true.

to see it taken to that step, I never truly imagined it would happen.” Since retiring from football after an 11-year NFL career, Kennedy has started to make a name for himself as a broadcaster. He’s been a member of the Oakland Raiders radio broadcast team since 2013, and has worked as an analyst for the NFL Network and as a co-host on FOX Sports Radio. But when the Pac-12 called him, Kennedy said, “I jumped on it the moment it came, because this is something I’ve always wanted.” He’s in awe of the renovated Husky Stadium — “what the Huskies have been able to do here, it’s absolutely immaculate,” he said — and said he was “ecstatic”

when UW hired Chris Petersen as coach in December 2013. “Once upon a time, blue-chippers didn’t get out of this state, and you needed that strong presence recruiting,” Kennedy said. “And in order to do that, you had to have someone who could truly relate to the kids and the people who are here. And I (think) Coach Pete does that.” Kennedy wasn’t the only ex-UW star in attendance on Wednesday. He interviewed former All-American safety Lawyer Milloy as part of the Pac-12 Networks’ programming. Former coach Jim Lambright, former linebacker Dave Hoffman and former tight end Mark Bruener, now a scout for the Pittsburgh Steelers, were also in attendance.

Bills claim Enemkpali day after he punched Jets QB Associated Press PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Rex Ryan won’t excuse linebacker Ikemefuna Enemkpali for a sucker punch that broke quarterback Geno Smith’s jaw in the New York Jets’ locker room. That doesn’t mean Ryan — the former Jets coach in his first season in Buffalo — isn’t willing to provide Enemkpali a second chance with the Bills. With new owner Terry Pegula’s blessing, the Bills claimed Enemkpali off waivers a day after he punched Smith and was released by the Jets. “I think it’s clear it was a mistake. Nothing justifies hitting somebody and all that stuff. And I’m not trying to say that it wasn’t a mistake,” Ryan said before the Bills opened an evening practice. “But I also believe that he’s going to learn from this. And we’ll give him a chance to compete.” Ryan recalled Enemkpali being a “good teammate” in New York, and is confident he will be accepted by Bills players. “Look at every person in that locker room, not anybody’s perfect,” Ryan said. “But they know that I feel in my heart that this young man will be successful for us.” Running back Fred Jackson is set to welcome Enemkpali and adds he doesn’t owe Bills players an explanation. “When he gets here, he’s got a clean slate with us. We’ll see how everything works out, but I’m excited to have him,” Jackson said. “What happened in New

constant jump balls to the 6-foot-7, 270-pound Graham, whose 27 receiving scores is tied with Brandon Marshall and Dez Bryant for the most in the league the last three seasons? “We’re not going to have to stray very far at all,” Bevell said. “We’ve been able to just plug him in and play.” Earlier Wednesday, Carroll was more pointed on what he learned from catering too much to Harvin early last season. On Seattle’s KJR-AM radio Carroll said the Seahawks got so into playing with their new (in full health) toy in Harvin they strayed from their Super Bowl-winning identity from the 2013 season. “That did happen. He’s such an explosive player we wanted to see if he could create a problem that would help other aspects of it — and probably to our detriment somewhat,” Carroll told KJR. “We got out of what we were doing.” Lynch had a mere six carries last September in a broiler at San Diego, when Harvin did score on a 51-yard catch and run but the Chargers otherwise swarmed him on bubble screens and fly sweeps as if they knew they were coming. Lynch had just 10 rushes in a home game against Dallas, one of two games Harvin refused to re-enter late after getting pummeled early. Those Lynch-less Seahawks lost both games. Doug Baldwin was also adjusting to unfamiliar ground with Harvin around early last season: outside as a flanker or split end while Harvin got most snaps at the inside, slot position in three widereceiver sets. That’s where Baldwin had been so effective with the most clutch of his 116 receptions the previous two seasons. Instead, Bevell fed his bubble-screen-palooza of play

York happened there. It’s not something we have to worry about here in Buffalo.” Defensive tackle Kyle Williams said he’s not going to prejudge Enemkpali. “I’m not going to say he’s totally wrong or anything like that, Ikemefuna Enemkpail because I don’t know the circumstances,” Williams said. “I’m sure there’s things that would make me want to hit somebody, too, but I just don’t know what it was.” Enemkpali’s addition is the latest offseason twist between the AFC East rivals. Aside from hiring Ryan and much of his coaching staff, the Bills also signed former Jets receiver Percy Harvin in March. In New York, former Bills coach Chan Gailey is the Jets’ offensive coordinator. And former Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is taking over in place of Smith, who is expected to miss six to 10 weeks. Ryan stressed there’s no guarantee Enemkpali will make the team. Though it’s unclear when he’ll report to the Bills, Ryan didn’t rule out the possibility of Enemkpali playing in Buffalo’s preseason opener against Carolina on Friday. Enemkpali joins a Bills team that features several players who have had offand on-field troubles. Starting left guard Richie Incognito was signed in January after he was out of football for 15 months after

calls to Harvin from September into October. The idea to spread defenses away from Lynch’s inside running. The idea failed. Seattle began the season 3-3. National people such as those from Sports Illustrated declared the Seahawks the latest in a decade string of defending Super Bowl champions to flop. Seattle traded Harvin to the New York Jets for a later-round draft choice on Oct. 17. Two days later Baldwin tied his season high with seven catches at St. Louis for 123 yards, the second-most of his career. He had six grabs the following week in the win at Carolina. In the nine games immediately after the trade, Lynch averaged 20 carries. Voila! Seattle went 7-2 to seize the NFC West lead. It was on its way to eight consecutive wins and into another Super Bowl. “We got right back to (our norm),” Carroll told KJR Wednesday. “Doug went back to the slot and we were going to him on third downs and he was making his plays and what go right back to what we’d been doing. And we were more comfortable. And we were a better team doing it.” Now they are vowing they’ve learned. Even with Graham the latest new toy in the offense. “What’s really been interesting with Jimmy coming in is, we‘ve tried to not change the offense — for that reason. We don’t want to change the offense,” Carroll said. “But, you’ve got to get the ball to him. You can’t miss him out there; he’s such a great target. “So we have not had to change our offense. We’ve tried to grab onto what he brings that is unique and worth moving towards. And that’s what we are doing.” Graham is all for merging into the Seahawks’ run-based scheme led by Lynch, the NFL’s leading rusher and touchdown maker since 2011, rather

playing a central role in the Miami Dolphins’ bullying scandal. Harvin had several run-ins with teammates in Seattle and was recently dubbed by Sports Illustrated as the NFL’s “most-hated player in the locker room.” And then there’s offensive line coach Aaron Kromer, who will miss the first six games after the Bills suspended him for allegedly punching a boy in Florida in an altercation over beach chairs.

49ers’ Kaepernick denies altercation with Smith SANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick denied reports that he and the recently released Aldon Smith had a confrontation at Levi’s Stadium last week. Kaepernick, speaking at his weekly news conference, called the reports “embarrassing” and pointed out disparities. “I feel like anyone that believes that and goes about reporting that, just doesn’t have the best integrity,” Kaepernick said. “To try to prey on athletes’ livelihoods while one is going through a tough time is embarrassing to me. To put that out there and jump on that bandwagon just to get Internet clicks and get attention to their website, it really is embarrassing that people do that.” He said Smith was a good friend and that the defensive lineman attended functions hosted by Kaepernick. Smith was released by the 49ers on Friday, the day after he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. “It’s really tragic,” Kaepernick said. “I wish him the best. I hope he’s doing well. I hope everything turns out all right for him and he can get back on track. I know this team misses him and misses his presence here.”

than being so relied upon as he was for Drew Brees in pass-happy New Orleans. “For me? Less hits. Longer career,” Graham said, smiling. “I know when the ball comes there’s going to be big moments. And I know when the ball comes I’m going to have to do something with that ball. “Sometimes in New Orleans I’m getting targeted like 14 times in a game and a lot of those are catch-hits. You know, here, when I look on film and I see these safeties, everyone is so worried about the run that when you are open normally you are one-onone and you just have to make a move on one guy and you have all kinds of great routes. “For me, I don’t see it as an adjustment. I see it as, for me personally, an improvement.”

Extra points Kam Chancellor’s holdout reached its 13th day, with still no end in sight. Carroll told KJR of his team leader and star strong safety: “He does have his heels dug in” but that the team loves Chancellor and is very active in trying to get him in camp. ... DeShawn Shead was back at the primary fill-in SS for Chancellor. Dion Bailey, who was the No. 1 there the previous two days, got some first-team snaps after Shead. ... For the first time anyone can remember a Seahawks practice outside was cut short about 30 minutes early by repeated lightning strikes across Lake Washington. Just after 11:30 a.m. fans were advised to leave the Virginia Mason Athletic Center immediately. The Seahawks went inside to finish the extremely light practice two days before the preseason opener against Denver on their indoor field. ... Before they did, DE Michael Bennett took a field microphone at the end of the evacuation announcement and told the 2,600 fans that anyone over 6-feet tall was in danger but “all you small people are safe.” Baldwin led a mini-conga line containing two other teammates in slapping high-fives down the front row of fans disappointed they wouldn’t be getting the daily autograph time with the players immediately following practice. A sympathetic Bobby Wagner ran over and signed a few autographs before he joined the rest of his teammates inside.

McIlroy-Spieth battle towers over PGA By Doug Ferguson

PGA Championship

Associated Press

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Rory McIlroy faces a different set of questions from the last time he played, and he had answers for most of them. His left ankle, with swelling the size of a tennis ball after he heard it snap while playing soccer with friends in early July, felt fine when he got off the plane and began preparing for the final major of the year. His game is good, and he sees no one reason why that will change when the PGA Championship starts Thursday. One other question was a little more tricky. Who’s the best player in the world? McIlroy is No. 1 in the world ranking. He also has watched Jordan Spieth produce an inspiring year in golf by winning the Masters and U.S. Open, and then coming within one shot of a playoff at the British Open. Spieth has four wins this year, one more than McIlroy, though two of them are majors. “If you were to go by this year, you would have to say Jordan,” McIlroy said. “If you go over the last two years, I would say it’s probably a tossup between Jordan and myself. That’s a hard one. OK, we’ve got the rankings there, but it’s all a matter of opinion.” And what was his opinion? “I’ll tell you at the end of the week,” McIlroy said with a smile. The shine came off golf when Spieth’s bid for the Grand Slam ended at St. Andrews. It returned when

Jordan Spieth (right) shakes hands with Rory McIlroy on the seventh tee during a practice round for the PGA Championship Tuesday at Whistling Straits in Haven, Wis. The budding rivalry between the two is generating considerable buzz.

McIlroy began posting photos and videos last week that indicated he would be playing at Whistling Straits, his first tournament since the U.S. Open. They face off Thursday afternoon, in the same group with British Open champion Zach Johnson. It will be the third time in the last eight majors that McIlroy and Spieth have played together the opening two rounds. It has never received attention like this. “I think that’s just what you guys want to see,” Spieth said. “I think he and I just want to go out there and try and win the tournament. We have to beat

each other in order to do that, along with ... 155 other guys. It’s great. We’re all very happy to see him back. I’m excited to just share a couple days with Rory, and Zach as well. “Hopefully, we can all get into contention, and it will certainly be exciting.” McIlroy, the defending champion, said he never targeted the PGA Championship as his return. His test came in Portugal last week when he played — and walked — 72 holes. There was no pain, no swelling. And he knew he was ready. “If I hadn’t passed that test, I wouldn’t have been here,” he said. For all the attention

Spieth has earned with his four victories (along with playoff losses at the Colonial and Houston Open), McIlroy hasn’t been a mere spectator to this sensational season. He has three victories, one of them a World Golf Championship, and he had top 10s in both majors he played. Still, there is a degree of uncertainty about his game. It will have been 53 days without competition when McIlroy tees it up Thursday. “Expectation levels are the same,” McIlroy said. “I have played quite a number of rounds of golf. I’ve been practicing for over three weeks getting

my game ready, getting my game sharp. I feel like I’m playing well, hitting it well on the range. I’ve taken that onto the course in practice rounds and from there, it’s being able to take it into tournament play with a card in my hand.” Expectations haven’t changed for Spieth, either. For a guy who just turned 22, he is regarded as a greater thinker. At Chambers Bay, Spieth would find the worst part of the putting green to rap 6-footers before the weekend rounds to prepare him for some bad bounces. During his final nine holes of practice Wednesday, he was tossing balls in

some quirky spots around the green, even down on the sandy bank of Lake Michigan. He wants no surprises. He is prepared for a tough test. And he has the same attitude he had going into the British Open. This isn’t a chance to make history. It’s a chance to win a major. At stake for Spieth is an opportunity to be the first player to sweep the three American majors in the same season. A victory would make him No. 1 in the world (provided McIlroy doesn’t finish second) and make him the first $11 million man on the PGA Tour. His first goal, outlandish as it might seem, is to make the cut. Spieth has never played the weekend in two previous trips to the PGA Championship. And his goal at the start of the year was to make the cut in all four majors and contend in at least one of them. So one box has been checked in a major way. “That first part of that goal has yet to be accomplished,” he said with a smile. “So I’ve got some work to do these first two days and from there we’ll adjust and work our butts off to try and get a third major, which would be a pretty cool place in history.”

Gardening in good taste Mixing edible and ornamental plants can be nutritious and gorgeous By Sandra Schumacher Special to The Herald

When did we begin to relegate our vegetables to the outer limits of our gardens as if they were second-class citizens? Possibly after World War II, when homeowners had larger lawns and were encouraged to keep them well-manicured. Ornamental plants became the predictable bright colored annuals and food was coming into stores from around the world so the need for a home garden was reduced. Fortunately, there has been a movement to grow our own food, and many are doing this in very small spaces, creating the need to once again build an edible landscape. For centuries, edible and ornamental plants coexisted in harmony side by side in the same garden beds. Yet somewhere along the garden path, someone decided that our garden face should be ornamental, a feat unattainable by an edible plant. Nothing could be more incorrect. We can look to the English cottage garden as an example of how to mix the two; edible plants have been used to line pathways creating a “kitchen garden” throughout the landscape as an example. Perhaps it was the size and scope of our yards that simply allowed us to segregate the two groups, whereas other cultures were existing on much smaller plots where every inch mattered. And when their space ran out, window boxes were created for herbs. Some plants, like nasturtiums, perform both functions by beautifying the garden and also by being a tasty addition to a salad. Garden edges can be outlined and defined by using dwarf berries to build low hedges, another design method used in England. If there is a wet spot in the yard, they have learned that asparagus will thrive there and later will provide the gardener with months of tall feathery stems. Unsightly fences can be covered with peas, cucumbers and climbing squash intermixed with annuals such as zinnias or sweet peas. As space becomes more precious in our own country, we see more gardeners revisiting the methods of the past and integrating edibles into their ornamental borders. Attention needs to be paid to the growing conditions of the plants, such as water usage and fertilizing needs, sun or shade tolerance, etc.

Ornamental and edible plants sharing the same space need to be able to thrive under the same growing conditions. Ornamental plants that need chemical spraying should not be grown next to those plants being raised for food. Looking for a groundcover? Consider herbs like thyme, mint or oregano; or plant strawberries whose evergreen leaves tie the garden together in the offseason. It is also known that nectar production is increased when flowers are present as they draw beneficial insects into the

garden. These beneficials protect our edible plants and their pollinators. One of the most popular Swiss chard plants in the world is “Brite Lites” and although it is definitely a tasty vegetable, its popularity skyrocketed because of its bright rainbow colored stems. When these plants are backlit by the sun, the effect is truly mesmerizing. Late summer is the perfect time of year to inventory those empty spots in the garden, and to review your current color palette and existing textures. Develop a list of your favorite

fruits and vegetables and consider growing them among the existing ornamental plants and shrubs. Herbs are a wonderful addition to the beds nearest the kitchen so that they can be harvested as quickly as needed all year long. Borders that are visible from the house are prime candidates for colorful and textural vegetables as they will lengthen the garden season while also adding beauty. If there is only room for one tree, consider a fruit-bearing one instead of a deciduous one. A plum, pear or apple tree can

provide the same shade as the ornamental, but will also be a food source. When one tires of the tasteless fruit and produce that is shipped to our stores from all over the world, it is time to transform his or her own garden into a living buffet. One that is nutritious as well as beautiful, a true feast for both the body and spirit.

ANTIQUES & COLLECTIBLES | Terry and Kim Kovel

Snuff boxes of all kinds popular with collectors S taffordshire potters in 19thcentury England liked to depict humorous people in everyday activities. The figurines were the only way to see what a brave lion tamer or important political figure looked like. There were no photos and few prints. Sometimes the antique pieces confuse today’s historians because the activities are unfamiliar. A large toby jug with a removable hatshaped lid seems to be picking his nose — a strange subject for a piece of pottery to use at home. But study reveals he is sniffing his pinch of snuff in the days before cigarettes. Snuff is ground or pulverized tobacco leaves. The habit started in Brazil and America, moved on to Spain, and was popular in Europe by the 17th century. Snuff was put on the back of the hand, then pinched by the thumb and

finger and held near the nose to be inhaled into each nostril to get a nicotine “hit.” It is often made with a scent, medical additions or flavored with spices, fruit and flowers. There is even snuff made with herbs, but no tobacco. Today, snuff often is taken by mouth, not the nose. Collectors like the snuff boxes popular in the 19th century. They are small and the lid makes a tight seal to keep the day’s supply of snuff dry. Examples in gold, silver, porcelain, glass and even horn are collected. There are also large snuff “mulls” used to store snuff. The most unusual are large rams’ horns decorated with silver. Q: I’d like to know the value of a 1918 Norman Rockwell poster I have.

It sells for $450 to $900, depending on the condition. Q: I’d like to know the value of my great-grandfather’s 1903 phonograph. It has an oak case with a domed lid with a handle.

LIVING SMART | Stacy Giordullo

Can I retrofit my house for A/C? J

ust because your house doesn’t have central air conditioning doesn’t mean it can’t be added. Yes, it’s hot. And for homeowners living without the comfort of central air conditioning, the summer months might be unbearable. Or for those living with fans in every room and window A/C units running noisily and inefficiently, perhaps it’s time to pull the plug and consider retrofitting the house with central A/C.

What are the exceptions? For the most part, every house can be retrofitted for A/C. “There are some restrictions on certain types of homes, but it just depends on the house,” says Frank Garneski, owner of Garneski’s Air Conditioning & Heating in Sterling, Virginia. “Some jobs can be very difficult, and some jobs can be very easy.” If the house already has an electric or gas forcedair heating system, adding A/C isn’t that hard and typically can be installed in one day. Our experts say the A/C installation cost averages between $2,800 and $3,800. “Where you see trickier

applications is if a home has baseboard heat or a boiler where there’s no ductwork,” says Chad Peterman, operations manager for Peterman Heating, Cooling & Plumbing in Indianapolis. “The good news is, you still have options.”

What if I don’t have air ducts? The first option would be to add them, which works best if you have open space in the attic and basement. “Finding the space is the trickiest part,” Peterman says. “It’s labor intensive to run ductwork.” Adding traditional ductwork will increase the overall cost. Homeowners can expect to pay between $7,000 and $10,000, and should allow three days to complete installation. “Every home is different, so the design of each home really becomes the cost factor,” says Bill Stuhr, sales and installation manager for Five Star Heating & Air in Palatine, Illinois. A second option is to install a ductless A/C, which our experts agree is the most efficient — albeit more expensive — alternative. A ductless A/C consists of an outdoor compressor and wall

units mounted in rooms that need cooling. It’s a good choice for structures whose walls are too thin to support ductwork or for individual rooms that need extra cooling, such as a man cave or recent addition. A ductless system averages $6,000 to $15,000 according to our experts, depending on the design and type of units selected, and would take one to two days to install. A third option is a highvelocity system, which uses smaller, more flexible tubing than the standard ductwork required for lowvelocity systems. The main hurdle for most homeowners, however, is cost. Prices can start at $15,000 and quickly increase depending on the size of the house. Expect a two- to three-day installation period for a high-velocity system. You can also consider installing a rooftop A/C, which costs as much as $1,000 more for the unit but will include nearly double the installation cost because of the difficulty of the roof work.

Who do I hire to retrofit the A/C? If you’re adding A/C to your house, our experts

advise hiring a reliable HVAC company that has experience doing so with homes similar to yours. “There’s more work and knowledge involved,” Peterman says. “Making sure the ductwork is properly installed and is the right size for the system; making sure all the equipment is the proper size.” In addition to verifying proper licensing, insurance and bonding, homeowners need to make sure the contractor pulls the proper permits. “The No. 1 red flag is a contractor who avoids or refuses to pull mechanical permits,” says Gregory W. Gill, president of Action Air Conditioning, Heating & Solar in San Marcos, California. Other red flags to watch out for include contractors who only present one option and those who don’t perform a Manual J heat load calculation, which determines the proper size of A/C equipment needed to adequately cool the house. A final point of advice our experts offer is to try not to fixate on the price. Staci Giordullo is a reporter for Angie’s List, www.angieslist.com, a resource for consumer reviews.

GREAT PLANT PICK

RICHIE STEFFEN / GREAT PLANT PICKS

Lobelia tupa, or devil’s tobacco

What: This amazing perennial is unlike any other lobelia you might have grown. A robust clump of broad strappy leaves gives way to tall flower spikes reaching 6 to 8 feet tall with clusters of brilliant red, tropical looking flowers. The flowers bloom in midto late summer and open over a long period of time. Where: This deciduous perennial needs full sun to thrive. It prefers a sandy soil, but any well-drained soil will suffice. Avoid heavy clay and winter wet locations. Once the flowers are finished the seed can be allowed to ripen. It can gently reseed if the conditions are right. If no seed is desired the seed heads can be cut off. Cut to the ground once the foliage begins to fade in autumn. Size: Reaches a height of 8 feet with a spread of 4 feet. GreatPlantPicks.org

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.

AUGUST

BACKYARD PRIVACY 1391327

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.

Gardening with versatile ornamental grasses T

here is no way I could get through the summer without spending at least one column on the attributes of ornamental grasses. They are in a league all of their own and the month of August is by far the best time to view them. Ornamental grasses can be used in many ways in the landscape: bold specimen subjects, largemassed plantings waving in the breeze, low groundcovers. They can also be used as edging or blended into a mixed perennial border. They work well in containers too. Some grasses are grown for their colorful foliage

STEVE SMITH THE WHISTLING GARDENER in green, gold, red, cream or white, sometimes even striped or banded. Others might be valued more for their showy flower plumes, spikes or seed heads. Several kinds provide dramatic and lasting interest throughout the winter months. Grasses can be divided

into two basic groups based on their growth cycles. The first are coolseason grasses, which begin their growth in early spring and reach full size before the summer heat hits. They are usually lowto medium-sized plants and most are evergreen. Some might actually brown out in hot summer weather. Clipping or mowing in July right after their bloom cycle encourages lush regrowth for fall. The second type are warm-season grasses. These begin growing in late spring, flower and set seed in late summer or fall, and often provide great fall color. They should be

pruned back in late February or early March. Grasses are also divided into two groups based on their growth habits: Running grasses. These are varieties that spread by stolons or rhizomes. They can form a dense mat of foliage and make an excellent groundcover, but beware: Some varieties can be invasive so be careful where you plant. Bamboo is a classic example of a running grass (although there are non-running bamboos as well). Clumping grasses. These are types that grow in tufts or bunches and can often stand alone as a single specimen. They have

the advantage of not being invasive, but when planted very closely, can also form a fairly dense groundcover. Blue fescue is a clumping grass that has been used for years as a groundcover. The single most important maintenance rule for growing healthy, attractive grasses, with few exceptions, is to cut the foliage back at least once a year. Cut grasses back just as the new growth begins to appear. For most grasses this is early spring. Warm-season grasses are generally cut to within a few inches off the ground. Cool-season grasses are usually trimmed down to two-thirds of their full size.

Ornamental grasses can fill difficult garden niches. Many species are drought tolerant and will thrive on neglect once established. Conversely, there are several varieties that do quite well in damp or boggy soils. Some types even thrive in standing water situations. There are grasses for full sun or dense shade, clay or sandy conditions, and acid or alkaline soils. You name the situation and there is probably a variety of grass available to do the job.

Steel, concrete vase Kovel: Musical marottes worth more surprisingly elegant Current prices From Page D1

Concrete walls and flooring lend homes a contemporary, minimalist feel — as do concrete countertops, sinks, chairs and tables. More traditional-leaning decorators might find the material too bare or industrial looking (at least in large doses), but a recent interior-design trend is to incorporate concrete in subtler ways. Think accent pieces: planters, candelabra, trays and trivets. Such items can be found via IntoConcrete, a Chicago-area designer, manufacturer and e-tailer of finely made concrete home goods. The online shop includes everything from concrete lamps to coasters to one very chic toilet-paper stand made of soft concrete and birch. (It’s apparently a best-seller.) We’re especially obsessed with the weight vase collection, designed by Decha Archjananun in collaboration with IntoConcrete and Specimen Editions-Paris, featuring four vases in different sizes to accommodate various arrangements, including long stems and single stems. Sold separately (starting at $150), each mineral gray vase is composed of a

wax cylinders in containers and a small and large horn, and the key. The phonograph works. Who’d like to buy it? What should we ask for it? A: Thomas Edison invented the phonograph in 1877. The first Edison Home phonograph was made from 1896 to 1901. Your Model A Home phonograph is sometimes called the “Suitcase” model because it can be carried like a suitcase. Early wax cylinders held 2 minutes of recording. Later, 4-minute cylinders were made. Edison made disc phonographs beginning in 1913 and cylinders were no longer used. Phonographs with horns were also discontinued that year. The Model A Edison phonograph sells online for about $450. Q: Several years ago, my husband was given a “fluter” by a patient, who had a large collection of irons, as a thank you for his care. It’s made of iron and has two rollers, a crank handle, and a clamp to attach it to a surface. It’s marked “Crown” and “Pat. Nov. 2, 1875.” What is it worth and who would buy such a piece? A: Fluters, or fluting irons, were used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to press ruffles into collars and clothing. There are several different

Several years ago someone at the Smithsonian referred me to a woman in Virginia who said it was not worth fixing up but she would “take it off my hands” for $50. I declined. A: Your doll is a type of stick puppet called a marotte or a marotte folie, French words that translate as “hobgoblin madness.” They were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, usually by doll manufacturers in Germany or France. Marottes were made with and without music. Some had a whistle at the end of the stick. Musical marottes are worth more than those without music. Collectors like dolls with their original clothes, even if they are quite worn. The woman in Virginia would have had a “steal” if you sold her the doll for $50. It could sell for $200 to $900 depending on age, condition, maker, clothing, or the music. Tip: Try to rearrange your furniture once a year to avoid noticeable sun fading.

Twin sister unsure of what she wants

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion. Dear Carolyn: My twin sister is a smart, successful professional. We’re both near 40. I am married with three kids. She wants a family, too. Unfortunately, she has had a live-in boyfriend for several years. He didn’t work for the first year after they moved (or do much of anything). Now, another year has passed. He did get hourly work. She told him last year that she didn’t want to be with him, but never kicked him out. Now she tells me he’s not her boyfriend and she doesn’t want a family with him. Yet he remains there. I told her she needs to kick him out, but she asked me to stop talking to her about this, and said she likes having someone around so she is not lonely. He also does things at the property. I stopped mentioning my dislike of this, but I don’t know what to tell my kids when we visit and “Joel” is still there but isn’t her boyfriend. — Sad for Sister If they ask, just be truthful: “I’m not sure what’s going on, but Sister obviously wants Joel in her life, so I accept him.” When appropriate, teach them that only the couple themselves can really know what goes on in their relationship, and that, barring obvious

CLASSIC PEANUTS

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT signs of abuse, it’s not your place to impose your opinion on her. An opinion of mine: Her words say she wants a family, but her actions say she doesn’t. She might be doing what she actually wants and not feel comfortable saying so, thus the disconnect. Re: Sad: Could the opposite be true — they say how they really feel, but can’t act on it? What trumps, words or actions? — Anonymous Neither. Adulthood trumps all, in that adults with conflicting words and actions are entitled to live with those conflicts without the intrusion of well-meaning loved ones. Speak up once, yes, intervene when there’s evidence of abuse, yes — but beyond that, the words vs. actions debate for bystanders is merely academic. For what it’s worth: It can be

easy to take words as the true feelings because they’re clear. You hear, “I want marriage and children,” and you conclude she honestly wants that but gets bogged down on the way there. However, people who really want something tend to move the earth to get it — no doubt you’ve seen this yourself — so that complicates the words-prevail interpretation. In my experience, people generally are sincere in expressing desires, but their actions tend to betray when there’s something else they want more. I’ll use me as an example: I genuinely want to be more fit. But when it comes down to it, I want my comfort and down time more. I guess you could say our words reflect our wishes but our actions reflect our priorities. Re: Sad: In economics, it’s called “revealed preference.” If you want to know what people really want, focus on what they do, not what they say. Leading to this joke: Two economists are walking down the street and they see an expensive sports car. Economist 1: “I’ve always wanted a Ferrari.” Economist 2: “Clearly not.” Hey ... in economist circles that joke KILLS. — Anonymous 2 Washington Post Writers Group

Forward thinking can help with cancer

THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Abby: I’m writing in response to “Not Talking About the Future” (March 24), whose wife has breast cancer, was told she has only a few years to live, and feels sad when her kids talk about their futures. My dad was diagnosed with stage four multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, in 2006. He was told that even the most aggressive treatment would buy him only two or three more years. Well, he’s now working on year nine. While I must admit that it’s been hard at times for me to stay positive about his prognosis, I try not to let it show. Instead, every chance I get, I talk about the future with him — holiday plans, plans for my wedding next year, projects around his house, etc. It helps to take his mind off the pain and nastiness of his treatments and gets him thinking about positive things. Forward thinking has been great medicine for Dad. “Not Talking” and his wife don’t really know how much more time she actually has, and it certainly doesn’t hurt to think positively. — Looking Ahead In Glendale, Ariz. Dear Looking: Thank you for your upbeat message. Read on for a sampling of what other readers had to say about that letter: Dear Abby: “Not Talking” asked if he should shield his sick wife from discussions involving the future. One thing my mom, who died last year, did for the future was to take a video of herself visiting with her grand-nephews so they would have it to look at when they are older. She also bought — or gave us — things for our future adopted child, to give to

him or her later on. She crafted notebooks for us to hand out at her memorial service, so everyone would have something to cherish from her. “Not Talking’s” wife may want to consider doing some of these things. I send her, and everyone else dealing with cancer, a prayer of peace. — Proud Daughter, Vancouver, Wash. Dear Abby: I was 13 when my father found out he had cancer. I didn’t know what it was, and no one in my family sat me down and told me he was going to die. He passed away at a hospital out of town, and I wasn’t there when it happened. When I was told, I was heartbroken. Now, as an adult, I am crushed that I wasn’t able to have the conversations with him I needed — about his boyhood, grandparents, his time in the Navy, my dreams, and just spending precious time with him. I would suggest that “Not Talking” and his wife tell their teens about her prognosis of three to four years. They deserve to know. They should have the opportunity to discuss what’s going on in their lives and allow their mom to reflect on her own life, and her hopes and dreams for her kids. — Missing My Dad In Indiana Universal Uclick

MUSIC

Women push for equality, quality, in country music By Kristin M. Hall Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Leslie Fram started seeing the problems that women were facing in country music when she came to Nashville four years ago to lead CMT’s music strategy division. A former rock radio programmer, she immersed herself in the songwriter community and was blown away when she heard Brandy Clark performing at the tiny Bluebird Cafe. Grammy-nominated Clark, an artist who has penned hits for Miranda Lambert and Kacey Musgraves, was not being played on country radio. “That was an eye opener for me,” Fram said. “There were artists that were too country for country radio.” Frustrated by a decline in the number of female artists and tired of the party song cycle on radio, women are trying to take back the microphone and pushing for quality — and equality — in country music. While country music radio has historically been male-dominated, the issue about the lack of women getting air time picked up steam this spring when radio consultant Keith Hill said country stations that want better ratings should play fewer female artists. Hill also referred to women as the “tomatoes” of country radio’s salad, with male artists like Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton being the leafy greens. That analogy solidified fears that female artists were getting systematically shut out of commercial radio, but Hill defends his argument by saying he is simply giving listeners what they want to hear. “You’re not going to get equality until the behavior of the audience changes,” Hill said by phone Monday. The industry publication, Country Aircheck, reported that the percentage of female-voiced singles, which includes bands and solo artists, in the annual top 100 country songs fell from a high of 38 percent in 1998 to just 18 percent in 2014. Only three songs with

female voices are in this week’s Top 25 of Billboard’s Hot country songs chart, with Little Big Town’s “Girl Crush,” Cam’s “Burning House” and Maddie & Tae’s “Fly.” And “Girl Crush” and Carrie Underwood’s “Something In the Water” are the only women-led songs to hit No. 1 this year. “My worry is, is there a place for something like ‘The House That Built Me’?” Fram said of Lambert’s Grammy-winning hit song. “Would that see the light of day now?” Luke Bryan, the reigning entertainer of the year at the CMA and ACM Awards, said that the country music community needs to take a deeper look at why there’s a lack on women on the radio. “The music industry can get real, real busy and fast-paced and you look up, and you realize, ‘Man, there isn’t a female artist per se in the Top 10 or even in the Top 20 right now, and there was only one or two that broke in the mix,”’ he said. “I think it’s about the ACMs and CMAs even forming some maybe committees to talk about it and see what’s going on in the radio community — it’s a whole industry situation to sit down and determine what can be done better to promote women in the format.” Those conversations are starting to happen. CMT’s Fram, along with Rounder Records vice president Tracy Gershon and music columnist Beverly Keel, created a collective of women in the music industry called Change The Conversation that works to mentor and

educate each other. “Change The Conversation is not that you need to play every female artist that is out there ... for us, it’s about the best song wins,” Fram said. Last month, Lambert held a charity show that featured her singing with the genre’s best songwriters, male and female, to raise funds for a new scholarship for women musicians and artists. But for female artists who are still waiting for their opportunity, the only thing they can do is focus on the music. Rising duo Maddie & Tae came out swinging when they skewered male country artists’ portrayal of women on “Girl In A Country Song,” which hit gold status and peaked at No. 3 on the country charts. Now on tour with Dierks Bentley, the pair said they’ve had to prove to the fans that they belong on that stage with the men. “We are new to the scene and we are females, but I feel like we can live up to the expectations,” said 19-year-old Tae Dye. “We can hang with the guys.” Ashley Monroe, whose new album debuted at No. 2 for country albums behind Alan Jackson, hasn’t been able to get a top radio hit on her own, unless she’s singing with Blake Shelton, as she’s done twice with “Lonely Tonight” and “Boys ‘Round Here.” “I make sure everything I sing I believe in ... If it gets on radio, that’s amazing. That’s millions of people that are hearing it,” she said. “And if it doesn’t, then I am just going to work extra hard to find other ways to get heard.”
