Business park planned Land near the Arlington Airport will house 11 different buildings in a project expected to generate up to 2,000 jobs. By Kari Bray Herald Writer
ARLINGTON — A Bellevue developer plans to start work this month on a $100 million business park near the Arlington Municipal Airport.
The city announced Monday evening that GS Venture Partners has purchased the former Northwest Hardwoods and Weyerhaeuser log mill site at 20015 67th Ave. NE. Chris Gayte, the developer behind GS Venture Partners, plans to build up to
1 million square feet of aerospace, manufacturing and industrial work areas in 11 different buildings. The project is called the Gayteway Business Park. BNSF Railway has agreed to add two rail spurs on the 54-acre property for businesses to ship and receive products, Gayte said. The city expects the business park could create up to 2,000
new jobs. That’s based on the square footage of the planned business park divided by the average number of square feet per employee in manufacturing and industrial businesses — roughly 500 square feet per employee, City Administrator Paul Ellis said. See BUSINESS, back page, this section
Visitors preview Potala Place Development intended to add upscale element to downtown Everett

EVERETT — Local boosters took in the sweeping rooftop views and snapped selfies Wednesday during an open house at Potala Place, a key piece of downtown Everett’s effort to become more upscale. The event-goers rapped their knuckles on the quartz countertops in the model apartments and checked out the vintage arcade games in the community room, where servers offered up mixed drinks made with locally distilled liquor.
The building and retail managers talked about plans for ground-floor retail, which will be anchored by a year-round farmers market and “farm-to-fork” restaurant. “I just want to see it succeed,” said Jeannie Sears, who owns a home interiors boutique a few blocks away. Downtown Everett is shaking off its gritty, hard-luck reputation. “It’s on the cusp,” she said. “Places like this will help.” One man was missing at Wednesday’s soft opening, the man who made it a reality, Lobsang Dargey.

The Everett-based developer has put tens of millions of dollars into new construction and renovations in the downtown. Much of Potala Place, his latest project, was financed by foreign investors through a federal program — called the EB-5 program — that offers a shortcut to a green card in return for job-creating investments in the U.S. But Dargey allegedly defrauded foreign investors out of millions, according to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The agency filed a lawsuit against him in late August for securities fraud in U.S. District

Dorms to be built at EvCC The six-story structure will have 120 furnished rooms as well as common areas, a laundry room and a rooftop gathering spot. By Jim Davis The Herald Business Journal
EVERETT — Students could be living in dorms across the street from Everett Community College by next fall. Koz Development of Snohomish plans to start construction next week on an $11 million, sixstory building that could house 120 students. “There’s such great demand for it,” said Cathy Reines, CEO and president of Koz Development. “If you look around most any university in the Puget Sound area and, frankly, across the country, there’s a great demand for affordable, market-rate housing for students.” The building along 10th Street behind Starbucks is planned to have 120 single-occupancy furnished rooms that are all en suite and include kitchenettes. The project will also include common areas for students to gather, a large laundry room area, a rooftop gathering spot — with railings set back from the edge — and an outside courtyard. Koz Development will retain ownership of the building, but will lease it long-term to EvCC, which will in turn lease it to students who want to live within feet of the campus. The project is expected to be complete before fall classes 2016, Reines said. EvCC President David Beyer said the college has long sought to establish housing for students on or near campus. But it’s been difficult for the college to achieve, because college staff have been focused on growing educational programs. To buy land off campus and develop housing takes time and resources the college didn’t have, Beyer said. “The college is excited about the opportunity,” he said. “We appreciate the partnerships we have and we think it’s going to enrich the campus and student life, and the whole region of north Everett.” See DORMS, back page, this section

historical importance of a photograph of Billy the Kid alongside known members of his gang and prominent Lincoln County citizens is incalculable — this is perhaps the single most compelling piece of Western Americana that we have ever seen,” said Donald Kagin, president of Kagin’s.

Potala: Rents go up to $2,275 From Page A1
The SEC’s lawsuit has stopped work at Potala Tower, a wouldbe 40-story skyscraper in Seattle. Instead, it is only a 60-foot hole in the ground, 20 feet shy of the planned depth. The court has frozen the assets of Dargey and his company, Path America. That has stopped work at other development projects in Seattle, Shoreline and Kirkland. In Everett, construction is almost complete at Potala Place, which has enough money on hand to finish. The six-story building fills one block of Grand Avenue between Hewitt Avenue and Wall Street. Tenant improvements should be finished by Nov. 15, building manager Bill Crosthwait said. He works for Allied Residential, which was hired by Dargey to manage the apartment building. Since opening for leases in August, it has leased 79 apartments; 61 are occupied, he said. The pace hasn’t slowed since the fraud allegations against Dargey came out, he said. “We’ve been leasing five or seven apartments a week.” Prices range from $1,025 for a studio to $2,275 for a two-bedroom

A $2 photograph of the outlaw Billy the Kid bought at a Fresno, California, junk shop five years ago, is apparently the “Holy Grail of Western Americana” and worth $5 million, experts say. The 4-by-5-inch tintype shows Henry McCarty, better known as William H. Bonney or Billy the Kid, and several members of his gang, the Regulators, as they played croquet with friends, family and significant others in the summer of 1878, according to Kagin’s Inc., a numismatic firm that specializes in U.S. gold coins and collectibles in
Lincoln County War in New Mexico Territory. The rare find has been appraised and insured for $5 million. When experts initially inspected the photo, they had their doubts about it. “When we first saw the photograph, we were understandably skeptical — an original Billy the Kid photo is the Holy Grail of Western Americana,” Kagin’s senior numismatist David McCarthy said in a statement. “We had to be certain that we could answer and verify where, when, how and why this photograph was taken.” The firm assembled a

$2M damages claim over new courthouse By Scott North and Noah Haglund
The county obtained a court order and took Ferguson’s property in November, paying fair market value but not compensating him for the loss of business, disruption and other concerns, the damage claim says. Since then, the community has “learned that the courthouse project as proposed by Snohomish County Executive John Lovick was over budget, had been initiated without first having necessary building or parking permits from the city of Everett, and was not ‘imperative.’” the
Herald Writers
EVERETT — An Everett attorney who lost his downtown office building to Snohomish County’s now-mothballed quest to construct a new courthouse wants $2 million for his trouble, and taxpayer refunds for all money that’s been collected for the project. Royce Ferguson filed the claim for damages Tuesday. If the county turns him down, his next step would be a lawsuit.
claim says. “... Rather, events show that the county was ill-prepared and generally unknowledgeable and ill-advised before taking the private properties through eminent domain proceedings.” The claim lists Lovick and all members of the County Council — Dave Somers, Brian Sullivan, Stephanie Wright, Terry Ryan and Ken Klein — as having knowledge or involvement in the county’s actions. “How can the county deny that they haven’t wasted money, that they haven’t screwed this up?”
Ferguson said Tuesday. Jason Cummings, the county’s chief civil deputy prosecutor, said lawyers in his office will review the claim “and we’ll respond accordingly.” The courthouse project has been an exercise in frustration for many. Crews had been scheduled to break ground this summer on a $162 million courthouse building with eight stories and a basement. Those plans are shelved for now over financial concerns and a dispute with Everett about
parking requirements. The County Council had picked that location in late 2013 over less expensive options. Most of the proposed courthouse site was a county-owned parking lot on the southeast corner of Wall Street and Oakes Avenue. The county also had to buy out six smaller properties on the block, including the building on Rockefeller Avenue that had served as Ferguson’s law practice for more than 20 years.

Robbery suspect caught days after police caught up with an alleged accomplice. Jordan Jensen-Green, 31, was arrested in Bellevue on Friday, reportedly while trying to use stolen credit cards in a Nordstrom store. The Index man is being held on $2 million bail. Like his alleged accomplice, he was sought on charges of first-degree robbery, first-degree assault and first-degree burglary stemming from a violent holdup in Monroe at a garage said to have been used as a “chop shop.” Witnesses said men wearing masks forced their way inside and left after critically injuring a man, 38. It is unknown whether the victim, “who remains unresponsive, will survive his wounds,” Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Craig Matheson said in Superior Court papers. Jensen-Green is believed to have been the “moving force” behind the attack, which reportedly was in retaliation for the theft of a trailer. The intruders left with
Christopher Cardinale is the last of four people sought in the Sept. 18 incident to be apprehended. By Scott North and Eric Stevick Herald Writers
EVERETT — The last suspect has been arrested in a Sept. 18 robbery that ended with the victim clinging to life after being shot in the groin and having his skull fractured by blows from a baseball bat. Christopher Cardinale, 53, was taken into custody Tuesday night, Snohomish County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. Cardinale was booked into the Snohomish County Jail on Wednesday morning. He was arrested on warrants for investigation of assault, burglary, robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm. His bail was earlier set at $3 million. Cardinale’s arrest occurred five
backpacks and cellphones taken from the people who were at the garage. Two other suspects in the attack already were in custody by the time Jensen-Green was arrested. Cardinale twice evaded arrest. That happened Sept. 23 when officers showed up at a Mountlake Terrace house to make arrests. At the time, police were unaware of his alleged role in the Monroe crime and he was not detained. A few hours later, a sheriffs deputy spotted Cardinale seated behind the steering wheel of a car. By then he was wanted for arrest. Cardinale initially cooperated but started the car and drove away as a deputy opened the door to take him into custody, prosecutors allege. The deputy suffered minor injuries after being dragged about 25 yards before he was able to jump clear. Cardinale has felony convictions for drugs, assault and property crimes.
Privacy vs. public access: Judge hears bikini barista case By Scott North

EVERETT — A Snohomish County judge was asked Wednesday to determine how far the city of Everett must go in providing public access to surveillance videos of bikini baristas behaving badly. The city is being sued by Arthur West, of Olympia. A prolific requester of public records around the state, West objects to Everett’s decision to allow him to view the videos at police headquarters while refusing to provide him with copies. West on Wednesday asked Superior Court Judge George Appel to find that the city has violated the state’s public records act. The city, meanwhile, sought

Proposed vaping ban concerns some businesses By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer
EVERETT — The Snohomish Health District board appears ready to approve a countywide ban on vaping at work sites and in public places. But during a public hearing Tuesday afternoon, the owners of several vaping businesses said they had concerns about some of the other regulations included in the proposed ordinance. Josh Baba, the general manager of three Vaporland stores in Snohomish County, said the “pendulum of politics and regulation” had swung too far with some parts of the
proposal. He and other vapor store owners said they objected to not allowing seating in the stores where sampling of vaping products would be allowed. Such regulation unnecessarily demonizes the product, he said. Matt Bradley, co-owner of Sky Vapor stores, said it can take about 40 minutes to acquaint a first-time customer with the ins and outs of vaping. Bradley said his stores currently have barstools and a counter where people can sit. Bradley also objected to a proposed requirement for stores where vaping products can be sampled to have an independent
How to offer your input The Snohomish Health District is taking public comment on a proposed vaping ordinance through Oct. 23. ■ Comments may be emailed to sipp@snohd.org or mailed to the Snohomish Health District, Attn: SIPP Comments, 3020 Rucker Ave., Suite 306, Everett, WA 98201. ■ A public survey on the topic is available at www.snohd.org. ■ A public comment session is scheduled from 4 to 6 p.m. on Oct. 19 in the Snohomish Health District Auditorium. More information on the issue is available on the health district’s website at www.snohd.org. ventilation system. “It will be very costly,” he said. “We don’t have the financing for something like that.” Board of health member Karen Guzak, mayor of
Snohomish, said she found the comments asking for seating to be allowed in vaping stores compelling. “I think we need to look at that again,” she said.
“Otherwise the ordinance is looking pretty good to me.” Dr. Gary Goldbaum, health officer for the Snohomish Health District, said he has concerns about allowing the sampling of vaping products. If sampling is allowed, he said, he doesn’t want the businesses to turn into informal vaping lounges. King County’s vaping regulations don’t allow vapor sampling, he said, yet “there’s a very robust climate for these devices.” Other parts of the proposed ordinance would prohibit the sale of vaping products to minors, require businesses that sell vaping
products to be licensed and ban vaping in public in much the same way as smoking is prohibited under state law. Board of health member Ken Klein, a Snohomish County Council member, said he wished that the state would take action on the vaping issue, much as it did with smoking in public. A second public-comment meeting on the proposed ordinance is scheduled from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday at the Snohomish Health District offices. The ordinance could be scheduled for a final vote at the health district board’s next meeting Nov. 10.
Barista: No legal grounds for ‘peek-a-boo’ exemption, West says From Page A3
in all, were gathered as part of a 2013 police investigation into public corruption and prostitution at bikini espresso stands in Everett and elsewhere in Snohomish and King counties. The investigation led to felony convictions for two women who admitted they operated the stands as drive-through brothels. The owner hauled in millions of dollars each year and kept a separate set of books to hide her illegal activity, according to court papers. Last week, Darrell O’Neill, 60, a former Snohomish County sheriff’s sergeant, pleaded guilty to felony conspiracy to commit money laundering and
official misconduct. He admitted to providing confidential information about undercover police operations in exchange for sexual favors, records show. The videos were pulled from surveillance cameras, including some posted within the stands and others that were set up during the investigation by police and the FBI. The FBI has told the city it would prefer the videos it helped gather not be released. It suggests that they instead should be subject to the federal Freedom of Information Act. But those videos also likely contain some of the images that are of greatest public interest, including O’Neill’s conduct at the stands, Ramerman said.
City officials did not make those videos ready for release while O’Neill’s case was heading to trial, but now that he’s pleaded guilty, they plan to take another look, Ramerman told the judge. “We will have to figure out what to do with those,” he said. West told the judge he’s most interested in what the videos show about police conduct during the investigation. He suggested that the city simply cut from the videos all of the sexually explicit material. That’s not easily accomplished, Ramerman said. In an earlier declaration filed in the case, the attorney described in clinical terms some of the acts documented on the videos. On
video shot over just four days, there were approximately 45 incidents when breasts were flashed or fondled and nearly five dozen instances of exposed genitals. In court papers, Ramerman described the no-copies stance as a form of redacting information, withholding the digital file as a means to prevent the videos from winding up on the Internet. West countered that state law requires governments to provide access to and copies of public records and that there is no legal grounds for what he calls Everett’s “peek-a-boo” exemption. West also maintained the city should be blocked from raising privacy concerns at this point. In 2010, the city rejected that argument when it supported disclosure of nearly nude photographs of baristas taken by police during a
separate investigation. Ramerman told the judge the city learned from that experience, particularly how swiftly the images wound up online, where they still can be viewed today. In his pleadings, Ramerman pointed to examples around the country where courts and lawmakers have found themselves balancing access to sensitive information. The frenzy over the death of NASCAR’s Dale Earnhardt, for example, led to legislation that exempts death scene photos from disclosure, but allows reporters to view them and seek copies based on a showing of need, he wrote.

praise out of concern for his political well-being. “I don’t want to hurt his chances,” Murray said Tuesday in Everett after touring a job training center. “I think he’s shown that he can bring people from his side together. I think that they do need that right now but I don’t want to hurt his chances by championing him.” A number of House Republicans voted against that 2013 agreement believing Ryan compromised too much. It’s unclear whether this will prevent many of those same GOP lawmakers from accepting him as speaker if Ryan says he will do it. Getting a public vote of confidence from a liberal Democratic senator might not help. She wouldn’t say if she’s texted him any
advice privately. Nonetheless, Murray did put forth what amounted to an outline of a reference letter. “Obviously he and I disagree on a lot,” she said. “But he also ... is one of the adults in the room who understands our country has to function and that people have to work together to make it function.” The federal government is headed for another malfunction. Funding runs out Dec. 11 and there will be a shutdown if Congress doesn’t act. The threat isn’t being taken seriously enough by lawmakers or the public, Murray said. “I’ve been nervous for a while because I really think the intensity of where we were two years ago hasn’t been matched,” she said. “I think people just assume

courthouse is unlikely to resume until next year. That would push any decision past election season and the passage of the county’s 2016 budget. David Jolly used to run his law firm from a building next door to Ferguson’s. He, too, expects to seek damages from the county. “I commend Royce for taking the lead on this,” Jolly said Tuesday. “We’re looking at the same type of action. We’re not quite ready to act on it, but I anticipate this year we’ll be doing something similar.” Jolly estimated that his practice specializing in DUI defense has declined about 40 percent since the county bought him out last year. “We’ve had to lay off two attorneys,” he said. “Now it’s just me. We went from
addresses and other information gathered from licensed strip club workers. In the Pierce County case, federal Judge Ronald Leighton agreed with attorneys for the dancers and club managers that their privacy and their rights to free expression could be harmed if the licensing information was released. Although the ruling isn’t published law, Ramerman quoted from the Tacomabased judge’s order. Leighton wrote that Washington’s records act “was never intended to facilitate spying or stalking, or to enable a host of other nefarious goals.” Instead, the judge said, it “is a tool to enable citizens to monitor their government. It is not a mechanism for them to examine, exploit, or endanger each other.” Scott North: 425-3393431; north@heraldnet.com. Twitter: @snorthnews.

They are intent on shutting it down.” Though Murray doesn’t think the public is much concerned with who is elected House speaker, she knows nothing will happen until someone is in that seat. Should that someone be Ryan? “He’s in a caucus that’s pretty divided about what they want their future to be,” she said. “What he has the capability to do is to be able to hear what all factions want and to be able to deliver what he can from that.” Maybe he’ll text her with his decision.

three to one.” One prong of Ferguson’s claim would require the county to fully refund any taxes the county has collected to pay for the courthouse project. Lovick has proposed a refund in his 2016 budget, but Ferguson said he believes only some of the courthouse money would be returned with portions still going to pay for other county programs. Snohomish County judges and others have for years been urging the county to replace its 1967-vintage courthouse. Problems there include the presence of asbestos, faulty plumbing, rickety elevators and vulnerability to damage in a major earthquake. A key safety concern is the lack of security features that can keep criminal defendants separate from court staff and others in the building.

MARYSVILLE — The pursuit of a suspected stolen vehicle Tuesday ended with the arrest of a man wanted by the state Department of Corrections. The incident unfolded around 4:30 p.m. when a patrol officer saw the man getting into a car on Cedar Avenue in the south end of town. The vehicle had been reported stolen in Pierce County. The officer stopped the car. Two passengers jumped out and ran, Marysville police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux said. The driver then sped away. The pursuit was broken off because the suspect was driving “extremely recklessly,” Lamoureux said. Another Marysville officer was able to use spike strips that flattened the tires of the vehicle. The suspect, 34, drove into a residential neighborhood near Jennings Park, got out and ran. He was tracked by a police dog and taken into custody. He told officers he fled because he was wanted on a kidnapping conviction that would send him back to prison. He was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of possessing a stolen vehicle and eluding police. His passengers were questioned and released.
Mukilteo: Three school lockdown Three schools were placed in lockdown Wednesday morning after a student reported seeing someone with a weapon on an athletic field. A Kamiak High School student made the report around 9:30 a.m., Mukilteo School District spokesman Andy Muntz said. He did not know what type
of weapon the student reported. Police were called and the school went into a lockdown as a precaution, Muntz said. Harbour Pointe Middle School next door and Columbia Elementary across the street went into modified lockdowns, which means exterior doors were locked while activities within the buildings continued as normal. Police searched the Kamiak campus and the area surrounding the school and found no evidence of intruders or of a weapon, Muntz said. The lockdown ended at about 10:45 a.m.
Oak Harbor: Woman, 97, killed in Hwy. 20 crash A 97-year-old Oak Harbor woman was killed in a Wednesday morning crash on Highway 20. The accident occurred just after 9 a.m. at Frostad Road, Washington State Patrol trooper Mark Francis said. The woman was driving a Honda Civic westbound on Frostad Road. She stopped before entering the intersection, where her car collided with a northbound Ford Ranger driven by a 72-year-old Oak Harbor man. He was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening.
Verlot: Hiker, 24, dies in fall A 24-year-old Snohomish man died while hiking on Mount Pilchuck east of Verlot. The man’s body was recovered late Wednesday morning by the Snohomish County search and rescue team. He was reported missing from his hiking group Tuesday. Officials believe he fell about 400 feet from the area of the lookout. The man’s name has not been made public. From Herald staff reports

Bus catches fire on I-405; no injuries BELLEVUE — The quick thinking of a Sound Transit bus driver ensured that none of the 30 passengers were injured when the vehicle caught fire early Wednesday while heading north on I-405, officials said. The Route 566 bus was traveling from Renton to Bellevue about 6:40 a.m. when the driver heard a “pop” from the back of the bus, said Bruce Gray, a spokesman for Sound Transit. The driver pulled over and went back to check it out and saw flames, Gray said. He told the passengers to get off the bus and called for help. A replacement bus picked up the passengers within about 30 minutes.

Sailors may navigate by stars again The Washington Post Steering a ship by the stars fell out of favor with the rise of radio wave and GPS navigation. In fact, the U.S. Naval Academy stopped teaching the skill nearly 20 years ago. But now this ancient navigation is making a comeback at the Annapolis school, thanks to cybersecurity fears, according to the Capital Gazette. “We went away from celestial navigation because computers are great,” Lt. Cmdr. Ryan Rogers, the deputy chairman of the
academy’s Department of Seamanship and Navigation, told the Gazette. “The problem is, there’s no backup.” For now, the training is limited: Just a three-hour course covering the basics. But it’s part of a larger trend. As governments grapple with the rise of threats in cyberspace — and increasingly realize that they may not be able to stop all of them — old-fashioned techniques are being dusted off as a fail-safe. A security force that guards high-ranking Russian
officials, for instance, reverted to using typewriters after revelations about U.S. digital spying capabilities, local news outlets reported. German officials have considered a similar move. After the Naval Academy cut celestial navigation training, the practice began to peter out. It ended for the Navy at large in 2006, but was brought back for ship navigation officers in 2011. The Navy is now rebuilding a program for all enlisted ranks, the Gazette reported. But even if a government
agency doesn’t want to take computers out of the equation entirely, some experts suggest finding ways to add in checks that live outside a network. “Merge your system with something that is analog, physical or human so that the system, if subverted digitally, has a second barrier to get over,” said Richard Danzig, vice chairman of the global security think tank RAND Corporation and a former Clinton-era secretary of the Navy, during a talk at New York University last December.
NEWS ANALYSIS
Toddler shootings every week By Christopher Ingraham The Washington Post
This week a 2-year-old in South Carolina found a gun in the back seat of the car he was riding in and shot his grandmother, who was sitting in the passenger seat. This type of thing happens from time to time: a little kid finds a gun, fires it, and hurts or kills himself or someone else. These cases rarely bubble up to the national level except when someone, like a parent, ends up dead. But cases like this happen a lot more frequently than you might think. After spending a few hours sifting through news reports, I’ve found at least 43 instances this year of somebody being shot by a toddler 3 or younger. In 31 of those 43 cases, a toddler found a gun and shot himself or herself. In August, for instance, a 21-month-old in the St. Louis area found a loaded handgun at his grandmother’s house and shot himself in the torso. His mother took him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Earlier in the year, a Michigan 3-year-old found a loaded .40-caliber handgun in a closet while his dad and brother were outside. He shot himself in the head and died before rescue workers arrived. The stories go on and on like this: Roughly once a week this year, on average, a small child has found a gun, pointed it at himself or someone else, and pulled the trigger. Boys are disproportionately likely to do this: I could find only three cases where a girl under the age of 4 wounded someone with a gun. In 13 of the 43 total incidents, a child’s selfinflicted injuries were fatal. In two other cases, another person died after being shot by a toddler: a father in Alabama, and a 1-year-old in Ohio. In one instance, a 3-year-old managed to wound both of his parents with a single gunshot at an Albuquerque motel. Shootings by toddlers have happened in 24 states so far

Since the term “antioxidants” made the leap from the realm of biochemistry labs and into the public consciousness in the 1990s, Americans have come to believe that more is better when it comes to consuming the substance that comes in things like acai berries, green tea and leafy veggies. A new study published Wednesday in the journal Nature raises important questions about that assumption. Antioxidants — which include vitamins C and E and beta-carotene, and are contained in thousands of foods — are thought to protect cells from damage by acting as defenders against something called “free radicals” which the body produces as a part of
90 U.S. soldiers to resist extremists WASHINGTON — About 90 U.S. troops are headed to Cameroon to help the Central African nation stop the spread of Boko Haram and other violent extremist groups. The troops will be armed for their protection and security, but will not engage in combat, a White House press secretary said Wednesday. They are being sent under an arrangement with the Cameroon government to conduct airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations in the region and will stay until they are no longer needed. President Barack Obama notified the house speaker Wednesday.
Iowa: Ron Paul testimony The government purposely announced charges against Ron Paul’s ex-aides shortly before his son, Rand Paul, was scheduled to appear in a national debate for the Republican presidential nomination, the former Texas congressman testified Wednesday in federal court in Iowa. Ron Paul told jurors in Des Moines he was suspicious of the timing of the indictment’s unsealing of charges against Jesse Benton and Dimitri Kesari, two aides who worked for his 2012 presidential campaign.
California: Astronomer out A prominent astronomer resigned Wednesday from the University of California, Berkeley, after an investigation found he sexually harassed female students over many years, top administrators said. The university immediately accepted professor Geoffrey Marcy’s resignation, according to a statement from Chancellor Nicholas Dirks and Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Claude Steele. It called Marcy’s conduct “contemptible and inexcusable.” He is one of the world’s leading experts on planets outside Earth’s solar system.
Michigan: Tesla autopilot
this year. Missouri has seen the most, with five separate incidents. Florida has had four. Texas, three. Due to the low number of total cases and the isolated nature of these incidents I’d caution against drawing broad conclusions from the map. But it is worth noting that the shootings don’t necessarily follow broader population trends. California, the most populous state in the nation, hasn’t had any. Nobody has been shot by a toddler in New England or the Upper Midwest. These numbers are probably an undercount. There are likely instances of toddlers shooting people that result in minor injuries and no media coverage. And there are probably many more cases where a little kid inadvertently shoots a gun and doesn’t hit anyone, resulting in little more than a scared kid and (hopefully) chastened parents. Notably, these numbers don’t include cases where
toddlers are shot, intentionally or otherwise, by older children or adults. Dozens of preschoolers are killed in acts of homicide each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But I haven’t included those figures here. These cases are invariably referred to as “accidents” in media reports. But as Everytown for Gun Safety, a group that advocates for stricter gun laws, argues, many incidents like this are preventable. In a study of accidental shootings by children of all ages (not just toddlers), they estimate that “more than two-thirds of these tragedies could be avoided if gun owners stored their guns responsibly and prevented children from accessing them.” There are policy and technical responses to preventable childhood gun deaths as well. States and localities could require guns to be locked up at home, a policy supported by 67 percent of Americans. Various
types of smart gun technology, which prevent anyone other than their owners from firing a given gun, exist as well. But gun lock requirements and smart guns have been vehemently opposed by the National Rifle Association and its allies. Instead, the NRA continues to promote a response that seeks to solve gun problems with more guns, and aims to broaden the saturation of firearms in nearly every sphere of public and private life, from homes to schools to churches to bars to airports and beyond. In a country with more guns than people, it’s only natural that a certain number of small children are going get their hands on an unsecured firearm, with tragic consequences. Depending on where you stand on gun policy, you may feel that 13 dead toddlers in 10 months is too many. Or, you might reason that stuff happens, and that this is part of the price we must pay to protect our gun rights.
Antioxidants may help cancer grow The Washington Post
ACROSS THE U.S.
metabolism or that can enter through the environment. That’s all great for normal cells. But what researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center found is that antioxidants can work their magic on cancerous cells, too — turbo-charging the process by which they grow and spread. Researcher Sean Morrison and his colleagues conducted experiments on mice that had been transplanted with skin cancer cells (melanoma) from human patients. They gave nothing to one group. To the other they gave doses of N-acetylcysteine, which is a common antioxidant that’s used in supplements and has been used as a treatment for patients with HIV/AIDS and in some children with genetic disorders.
The results were alarming: Those in the second group had markedly higher levels of cancer cells in their blood, grew more tumors and the tumors were larger and more widespread than in the second. “What we’re starting to learn is that there can be bad cells from cancer that appear to benefit more from antioxidants than normal cells,” he said. Morrison, director of the Children’s Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern, explained that it has to do with something called oxidative stress. Scientists have known for a while now that cancer metastasis — especially when it involves spreading a great distance to another part of the body — is very inefficient and that many cells die along the way. This is
likely due to oxidative stress, which is an inability by the body to counteract the harmful effect of free radicals. When antioxidants supplements are given, the paper hypothesizes, they may give new life to those cancerous cells that are on the edge of dying. Morrison said previous studies have shown that the progression of metastasis of human melanoma cells in mice is predictive of their metastasis in humans, which raises concerns about the use of antioxidants by cancer patients. A similar study conducted at Vanderbilt University and published in PLoS One in 2012 involving mice with prostate cancer also showed that antioxidants appeared to increase the proliferation of cells in the pre-cancerous lesions.
Electric car maker Tesla Motors is leapfrogging competitors with a new autopilot system that lets cars change lanes by themselves. Like other semiautonomous systems already available from Mercedes, Audi and Volvo, Tesla’s system automatically keeps the car within its lane and maintains a certain distance from the car in front, both at highway speeds and on city streets. It can find a parking spot and parallel park itself. It also uses cameras and sensors to warn drivers about potential side impacts.
New York: Debate record Tuesday night’s presidential debate on CNN was the highest-rated ever for Democrats, even while attracting a smaller TV audience than two Republican contests. The debate averaged 15 million total viewers, CNN said Wednesday, citing Nielsen Fast National ratings data. The Sept. 16 Republican debate on CNN drew about 23 million viewers, the most ever for an event aired by the network. An Aug. 6 Republican contest on Fox attracted even more, a record of 24 million. For the Democrats, the debate record was last set in 2008 when Clinton and President Barack Obama went head-to-head on ABC. That telecast averaged almost 11 million viewers.
Teenagers beaten in church Two teenage brothers were brutally beaten in church — one fatally — in an effort by their parents, sister and other members to get them to confess their sins, police said Wednesday in a case involving an insular congregation that had sparked gossip and suspicion among neighbors. Police said spiritual “counseling” at the Word of Life church in upstate New York turned into an hours-long attack Sunday night in which Lucas Leonard, 19, and his 17-year-old brother, Christopher, were pummeled with fists and kicked.
AROUND THE WORLD Sierra Leone: Ebola lingers Doctors have found that Ebola can linger in some male survivors for up to nine months but aren’t sure if that means they might still be infectious, according to new research. In a study of 93 men, scientists found the Ebola virus in semen samples from about half of them. The risk seemed to decline over time. Ebola was detected in all nine men tested at two to three months after their illness began but in only 11 of the 43 survivors tested at seven to nine months. From Herald news services

Aeroflot wants out of 787 deal “Boeing didn’t deliver them on time and we don’t need them in a slumping market,” the airline’s CEO says. Bloomberg News MOSCOW — Aeroflot, Russia’s largest airline, is trying to get out of an agreement to buy Dreamliners from Boeing as it seeks planes and routes from a debtsaddled airline and the market struggles in recession. “We’re trying to exit the deal,”
Chief Executive Officer Vitaly Savelyev said on Rossiya 24 television. “Boeing didn’t deliver them on time and we don’t need them in a slumping market.” Aeroflot said in June it was scrapping an order for 22 Boeing 787 jets worth $4.8 billion at list price, a rare setback for Boeing, which announced a succession
of deals in June at the Paris Air Show. The U.S. planemaker said in August that it hadn’t received such a notification from the Moscow-based airline and was negotiating to deliver the first jet in 2018. As long ago as 2010, Aeroflot said that it was seeking compensation for development delays to the 787, which entered service three years late in 2011. The delays, combined with changed priorities and market conditions,
mean that the planes are no longer a good fit, Deputy CEO Giorgio Callegario said in June. Aeroflot is instead seeking 34 planes from Transaero Airlines — including 20 for long-haul flights — after refusing to buy the indebted competitor, according to Savelyev. It may gain 57 international routes from Transaero, he said. The carrier is still in talks with leasing companies about prices, he said.

Chinese imports to decline further in 2016 and Indian imports to decline from current higher levels which could set up another tough year for the coal industry,” John Bridges and Anant
Inani, analysts at JPMorgan Chase, wrote in a separate report Tuesday. Due to the strong U.S. dollar, the only way Appalachia producers can place tons for export is
to reduce prices that are already near the lowest seasonally in a decade, Bridges and Inani said. Sussman estimates that utility coal is oversupplied to the tune of 65 million tons, or about 39 percent less than 2014’s glut. By 2017, that should be whittled down to 48 million tons, compared with a previous forecast for 59 million, he said. “That’s not too shabby,” Sussman said. “Don’t mistake that for us saying everything’s good. It’s just discipline across the board.”
Big three airlines flex muscle in D.C. By Joan Lowy Associated Press
biz bits
WASHINGTON — U.S. airlines have ramped up an aggressive lobbying campaign that seeks nothing less than converting the government from industry regulator to business ally. The big three legacy carriers — Delta, American and United — want the Obama administration to protect them from competition from foreign airlines, arguing those rivals can undercut ticket prices thanks to government subsidies or cheaper labor. At the same time, the U.S. airlines want Congress to roll back or forestall rules aimed at protecting consumers. One is a requirement that airlines show ticket buyers the full cost of fares, including taxes and fees, instead of burying the information in fine print. The lobbying already has been effective. At the urging of the big three and the Air Line Pilots
One fifth of small firms say weed’s OK A fifth of small-business owners say they would allow an employee with a medical marijuana prescription to use the drug while at work, according to a survey released Wednesday by insurance company Employers Holdings. The survey, which polled 500 small-business owners with fewer than 100 employees, also found that 42 percent don’t have written policies prohibiting employees from possessing, using or being under the influence of marijuana, and 74 percent don’t require employees to take drug tests. Employers in the 23 states plus District of Columbia that have legalized marijuana for medical use have to consider how to balance employees’ right to use the drug with maintaining safe workplaces.
Delta Air Lines tops profit forecast
By Mario Parker Coal producers from the United States to Indonesia are scaling back output to speed up a recovery in the power-plant fuel that’s been weighed down by a global glut. Indonesia, Australia and America, which comprise 60 percent of the total seaborne coal trade, will likely reduce exports by 8 percent this year from 2014 levels, Jeremy Sussman, an analyst at Clarksons Platou Securities Inc. in New York, wrote in a report Wednesday. Global coal prices have fallen to eight-year lows as supply outstrips demand. Chinese imports of thermal coal, used to generate electricity, are down 38 percent so far this year through August, data compiled by Bloomberg show. “It’s certainly dictated by the market,” Sussman said Wednesday. “But the supply response is important. Supply cutbacks on the thermal coal side have been larger than expected.” China’s diminished appetite for coal shocked the global market this year as the country invested in other sources such as nuclear and solar, Morgan Stanley said in a Sept. 29 report. “Internationally, we expect

Cheaper fuel helped Delta Air Lines Inc. shrug off a slight decline in revenue and post sharply higher thirdquarter net income of $1.32 billion. The profit announced Wednesday was slightly better than Wall Street expected. Delta’s shares rose more than 2 percent in afternoon trading. The third quarter includes much of the busy summervacation season when airlines are most profitable. Delta predicted that it would continue to rack up healthy margins into the winter on the combination of cheaper fuel and solid demand for travel.
Wells Fargo profits beat expectaions Wells Fargo reported Wednesday profits and revenue for its third quarter that topped Wall Street’s expectations, but the current environment of low interest rates may be undermining the bank’s profitability. San Francisco-based Wells earned $5.8 billion, or $1.05 a share, on revenue of $21.88 billion for the three months that ended in September. Wall Street had predicted profits would be $1.04 a share and revenue would total $21.76 billion. Compared to the year-ago third quarter, profits rose 1.2 percent and revenue increased 2.1 percent.
Dead mouse found in Subway sandwich A Subway customer said he found a dead mouse in a sandwich at a restaurant in Lincoln City, Oregon. Matt Jones said spotting the mouse last week was the funniest thing he ever saw — and the most disgusting. He said his friend ordered an Italian sub and wanted spinach. The employee scraped some from the bottom of a bin and plopped it on the bread. There was shock on both sides of the counter. Officials said a health inspector quickly went to the restaurant. The investigator studied the dead rodent and the bin from which it came before searching the entire restaurant for any sign of contamination or droppings. The company said the restaurant was cleaned and the customer given a refund. From Herald news services

An American Airlines passenger plane takes off from Miami International Airport in 2014.
Airlines for America, is opposition to consumer protection rules issued or proposed by the Transportation Department. Several airlines took their case to the Supreme Court to block a regulation that requires airlines to display ticket prices that include taxes and fees. After they lost, they persuaded the House to twice pass a bill to roll back the rule. The Senate has shown no interest in taking up the legislation, but Nick Calio, president of the trade association, said the issue is not dead and the airline industry will prevail, eventually. “Some of the members of Congress are fond of telling me, ‘You can’t get everything you want’,” he said. “I just don’t take that attitude. We can, and we know that, so we’re making progress.” Airlines also oppose a proposed requirement that ticket sellers inform consumers of the cost of a first and second checked bag, an advance seat assignment and a carry-on bag on the first computer search screen where airfares are displayed, rather than

STOCK MARKET SUMMARY
Lobby up with a meeting with Secretary of State John Kerry on Sept. 17. The big three and their pilot unions have also blocked an application by Norwegian Air International, a subsidiary of Norwegian Air Shuttle, the third largest low-cost carrier in Europe, to fly to the U.S. from Europe and Asia. They say the subsidiary’s business model would drive down wages and undermine safety; Norwegian denies that. The Ireland-based subsidiary plans to hire pilots through a Singapore broker and base them in Thailand. On another front, Delta Air Lines, which carried more passengers last year than any airline in the world, has been campaigning to block the U.S. Export-Import Bank from helping foreign competitors such as Air India and the Gulf carriers finance the purchase of planes from Boeing. Delta says the planes are used to compete on routes Delta also flies. Boeing is the nation’s largest exporter in dollar terms. Tea party conservatives in the House have branded the bank an example of “corporate welfare” and have prevented Congress from renewing the bank’s lending authority, which lapsed on July 1. It’s part of a struggle by airlines to maintain control of international markets for their joint ventures and alliances “in the fastest-growing regions of the world” such as the Middle East and southern Asia, said Charlie Leocha, president of the consumer group Travelers United. Delta says it isn’t trying to gain “government protection from competition, but to ensure our national policies foster fair competition.” U.S. airlines are not united on these issues. Delta is alone in its opposition to the bank. JetBlue and others oppose the big three’s position on the Gulf carriers. JetBlue transports passengers arriving in the U.S. on those carriers to other cities. What does unite the airlines and their trade association,

waiting until a buyer has selected a fare and is checking out. That way, the department reasons, consumers will know the full cost of the trip from the beginning and won’t be surprised later by fees, which can vary widely. In general, airlines say it’s in their interest to keep their passengers happy, so these sorts of consumer protections are unnecessary. The state of government regulation of airlines is “dismal,” Calio, the top White House lobbyist under Presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, said in a speech to the International Aviation Club last year. “We are still operating in an environment where the DOT thinks it needs to protect customers from airlines,” referring to the federal Transportation Department. Airlines also are fighting airports over whether to raise from $4.50 to $8.50 the “passenger facility charge” included in tickets. The fee hasn’t increased in 15 years. It generates money primarily used for additional airport runways and gates.

Airlines say the $4-increase per flight segment would reduce ticket sales. Airports and industry observers say the issue is really about controlling access to airports. Airports want to use the money to enlarge terminals and add gates in order to attract more airlines. But airlines already there have an interest in keeping out competitors. Because of mergers, one or two carriers control a majority of the market at most airports. The airlines are the political muscle behind a movement in Congress to take responsibility for air traffic control away from government and give it to a nonprofit corporation. The hope is that shift would avoid congressional budget fights hampering modernization of the air traffic system. Private aircraft owners, however, worry the change would shift costs to them and force them from busy airports to make more room for airlines. At the same time, airlines are under pressure from the Obama administration. The Justice Department is investigating whether Delta, United, American and Southwest have colluded to limit available seats and keep fares high. United’s chairman and CEO, Jeff Smisek, stepped down on Sept. 8 amid an investigation into the airline’s dealings with the agency that operates New York-area airports. The Transportation Department is investigating whether airlines engaged in price gouging in the Northeast after a deadly Amtrak crash in Philadelphia in May left passengers scrambling for travel alternatives. To bolster their influence, airlines — Delta in particular — have hired from their former overseers. Robert Rivkin, a former general counsel at the Transportation Department who oversaw consumer regulations, is Delta’s senior vice president and deputy general counsel. Bob Letteney, who was the department’s assistant secretary for aviation and international affairs, is a Delta managing director. Will Kinzel, another Delta managing director, was a policy adviser to House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. The revolving door spins both ways. Chris Brown was a vice

president at Airlines for America before he was hired this year as staff director for the House Transportation and Infrastructure subcommittee on aviation. The full committee’s chairman, Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., has acknowledged a “private and personal relationship” with Shelley Rubino, a vice president of the trade group who lobbies his committee. Shuster’s personal office chief of staff, Eric Burgeson, is married to Christine Burgeson, a senior vice president at the trade association. A former US Airways lobbyist, Tom Chapman, is the Democratic counsel for the Senate Commerce Science and Transportation subcommittee on aviation. Former Sen. Bryon Dorgan, D-N.D., chairman of that subcommittee until he retired in 2011, has been hired by American to lobby for transferring air traffic control to a nonprofit corporation. The airline industry and its employees donated nearly $3.6 million to congressional candidates for the 2014 elections. The industry spent nearly $26.5 million on lobbying last year, according to the political money website OpenSecrets.org. Three days after Boehner announced he was resigning from Congress, airline CEOs and lobbyists flocked to a fundraiser for Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., who at the time was seen as Boehner’s most likely successor. Four years ago, Airlines for America and its members proposed that Congress and the administration create a “national airlines policy” that would bolster the industry’s economic well-being by decreasing taxes, reducing regulation and modernizing the air traffic control system. At the time, many airlines were operating on the thinnest of profit margins. But lately airline profitability has rebounded thanks to mergers, lower fuel prices and an improved economy. The lobbying fight for that goal is more intense than ever. To Calio, there are “some champions on Capitol Hill who are willing to stand up for the industry.” But more work needs to be done, he said, to counter the perception that now that the industry is profitable, “that is somehow a bad thing.”

3 choices for Monroe council City leaders in Monroe, home to the Evergreen State Fairgrounds and the state’s Monroe Correctional Complex, hope to find ways to revitalize the downtown and prepare for its growth, deal with the traffic yet take advantage of opportunities that U.S. 2 brings through town, deliver public services and provide a liveable city for its approximately 17,900 residents. Four city council positions are on the Nov. 3 ballot. Ed Davis is running unopposed for Position No. 5. Position No. 4: Incumbent Jim Kamp, a contract project manager at Boeing and resident of nearly 20 years, was first appointed to the council in 2011, then won election to the council that year. Shyane Bradley, a software engineer for Microsoft who has lived in Monroe for three years and in Washington since 1992, is challenging Kamp for the fouryear term. Bradley said he wants to be an advocate for residents, promoting government transparency and ethics, specifically suggesting that the city’s ethics board require council members not participate in votes that involve campaign donors. Bradley also is supportive of the city’s measures to discourage panhandling, while recognizing the needs of the truly homeless. Kamp, who previously
served on the city planning commission, wants to see the creation of a East County Recreational Innovation Partnership Zone with other nearby communities that could apply for economic development grants and promote the area’s recreational and other attractions. Kamp also supports the creation of a Transportation Benefit District that could seek voter approval of a sales tax increase that would fund road improvement projects in the city. Kamp has demonstrated care with the city’s finances and with the council’s decision-making. Voters should return him to office. Position No. 6: Incumbent Jason Gamble, a director of technical operations at Comcast and a Monroe resident since 2003, is completing his first term in office. Patti Gibbons, who owns the Heavenly Soap shop in downtown, has lived in Monroe for five years. Gibbons’ retail business has provided her with a perspective that could be useful to the council on the city’s business needs downtown, its traffic issues, and the issue of homelessness and panhandling. She decided to run, she said, following several council meetings on downtown parking and road projects. Gamble is supportive of actions the council has taken

Gamble has voted against a commercial rezone in east Monroe because a U.S. 2 bypass that would serve the area is unlikely. Gamble is supportive of the wakeboard park proposal at Lake Tye as an example of the kinds of economic development projects the city should pursue. Gamble makes considered decisions and is an advocate for mutual respect on the council. He merits a second four-year term. At-large position: The decision by current council member Kurt Goering not to seek re-election prompted Kirk Scarboro and Patrick Daniels to file for the two-year term. Scarboro is retired from the Navy and is the transportation
director for the Monroe School District. He has lived in Monroe since 1994. Daniels, a business manager for a Bothell-based shoe manufacturer, has lived in Monroe since 1996. Scarboro, in his work for the school district, can say he knows the city’s roads and sees opportunities for street improvements, but agrees with most that Snohomish can’t count on a bypass project for U.S. 2 anytime soon. Regarding the city’s homelessness issue, Scarboro is supportive of programs, such as Housing Hope, that directly involve those needing assistance in the solution. Daniels says he wants to encourage more retail businesses and restaurants in the downtown and along U.S. 2 by improving streets, reducing permit fees and bringing more events to town. Daniels also has suggested commercial development at the north end of Lake Tye and manufacturing businesses near the Fryelands area. Both Scarboro and Daniels have lived long enough in the city and have significant knowledge of their community to be of value to the council. Daniels’ professional experience and his emphasis on development issues should earn him the support of Monroe voters.

■■I-405 TOLL
Taxpayers paid for those lanes I want my I-405 back! The transportation planners at WSDOT seem to me to be a pack of thieves who must think the people of Puget Sound are a bunch of gullible fools to try to foist this land grab upon us. I-405 was paid for by my taxes and I want it back! For, using taxpayer money, WSDOT has stolen two lanes of I-405 from general use, and turned them over to the highest bidder. Those lanes that belong to us; WSDOT has effectively privatized. To add insult to injury, WSDOT is spending taxpayer money on advertising propaganda to convince us all this is an improvement! Since we now have the privilege of spending money, we’ll be able to travel faster than before! The improvement that WSDOT claims ownership of is in fact the shifting of vehicles back over to I-5, rather than encounter the horrible mess that is now I-405. They cannot merely look at half of the data; rather, if they’re going to refer to traffic volume changing on I-405, it follows that they must include I-5, since any study of elasticity of demand must account for substitution effects. WSDOT’s paternalistic actions are in fact dishonest, and serve only to benefit the few. Who can possibly afford paying a maximum toll of $10 per trip — amounting to $20 per commute day amounts to $100 per week or $400 per
month! It is tantamount to reserving the lanes that we built with public funds for the 1 percent. I hope that the Legislature recognizes this antidemocratic program for what it is, and takes appropriate action. Matthew Benuska Brier
■■MILL CREEK COUNCIL
Sordel will help city manager
Lynn Sordel has spent his professional life providing services to communities. He’s smart, professional, experienced, creative and most of all, collaborative. Mill Creek’s new city manager, Rebecca Polizzotto, has a basketful of experience and ideas for streamlining our city government. She also has a huge challenge in funding our fire service and union labor agreements. Moreover, she’s faced with immediately replacing several retiring senior staff members, with more to come. Since the ideas for the future are coming from her (rather than from the city council) she needs council members who understand the process of fashioning effective local governance — the needs and the limitations. She needs someone on
council who knows what she’s talking about and trying to accomplish. Lynn Sordel does. Bart Masterson Mill Creek
■■CHARTER REVIEW
Whitfield will serve county well The Snohomish County Charter is like our county’s constitution. The Charter Review Commission is critical to ensuring that the document meets the needs of the people of Snohomish County. Only once every 10 years does the opportunity arise to elect members for this role. The well-being and concerns of the citizens, not a radical agenda, should be their top priority. This is why it is essential that District 5 elect Charles (Chuck) Whitfield to the commission. He believes in citizen involvement in political processes, such as Charter Review, since they are directly affected. He has a solid background and desire to protect and strengthen our community. As a lifelong resident who has done business in Snohomish County for 30 plus years, Chuck has a grounded perspective on issues that arise. He was an owner and chairman of the board of the
largest insurance agency in the county. He has volunteered with many non-profit organizations, such as Monroe Chamber of Commerce, Snohomish Rotary, Monroe Rotary and several faith-based organizations. He also proudly served his country in the U.S. Army. We have chosen to raise our families here. Our business and recreation are here. We all want a government that protects the things that we value and puts its citizens first. This is what has motivated Chuck to put his name on the ballot. Charles Whitfield will appear at the top of the randomly generated list of candidates and should be your top priority for the Charter Review election. Kris Hvattum Sultan

Debate helped Clinton but not her challengers
H
illary Clinton was a head shorter than her rivals when they lined up on stage for Sheryl Crow’s version of the national anthem at Tuesday night’s Democratic presidential debate. But after that moment, she towered over them. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley was preachy and selfrighteous. Former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb kept complaining that he wasn’t getDANA MILBANK ting enough time to talk. Former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee was more quirky spectator than participant. And Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont shouted as if he were unaware that he had a microphone. Then there was Clinton, fluid, steady and calm. After Sanders and Chafee criticized her 2003 Iraq vote, Clinton replied: “Well, I recall very well being on a debate stage, I think, about 25 times with then-Senator Obama, debating this very issue. After the election, he asked me to become secretary of state.” When O’Malley criticized her for being too quick to use the military, Clinton responded: “You know, I have to say, I was very pleased when Governor O’Malley endorsed me for president in 2008, and I enjoyed his strong support in that campaign.” She parried with relative ease, refusing to allow moderator Anderson Cooper of CNN or her rivals to get under her skin. She scored points on most of the key Democratic issues — paid sick and family leave, equal pay, gun control, Planned Parenthood, executive pay — and she deflected criticism of her changing views on trade and energy, and her response to the Benghazi attack. She turned Cooper’s question about her email into the highlight of the night. While repeating that her private email server was a “mistake,” she said the House committee that exposed the issue was “a partisan vehicle, as admitted by the House Republican majority leader, Mr. McCarthy, to drive down my poll numbers.” She added: “I am still standing.” Sanders, invited to criticize Clinton, instead leaped to her defense. “I think the secretary is right, and that is that the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails,” he said. The Democratic partisans cheered. Chafee, undeterred, criticized Clinton’s “ethical standards.” Clinton dispatched Chafee as if brushing lint from her sleeve. Asked if she wanted to respond, she replied: “No.” She was, in short, a man among boys. And that’s why the debate was so important to Clinton. She may have had a rough time as the Democrats’ presidential front-runner, but her advantages in experience and composure were clear when she shared a stage with her rivals for the first time. Vice President Biden, if he is still pondering a run while watching the debate on television, would find the rationale for his candidacy diminishing. A month ago she was in “free fall” and “plunging” in the polls, giving those who watched her campaign collapse in 2008 a sense of deja vu. Sanders was gaining, the draft-Biden movement was in full force, and Republicans were giddy with anticipation of her upcoming grilling by the House Benghazi committee. But a mass shooting in Oregon put the gun-friendly Sanders on the defensive. And the House Benghazi panel has been discredited by Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s incautious admission that the committee was created to damage Clinton politically. Now polls show Clinton recovering and expanding her lead. Cooper captured the problem with the Sanders candidacy when he said: “The Republican attack ad against you in a general election — it writes itself. You supported the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. You honeymooned in the Soviet Union. And just this weekend, you said you’re not a capitalist.” Sanders did not help himself by talking about the economic example of Denmark and proclaiming that he’s “gonna win because first, we’re gonna explain what Democratic socialism is.” Replied Clinton: “We are not Denmark. ... We are the United States of America. And it’s our job to rein in the excesses of capitalism so that it doesn’t run amok and doesn’t cause the kind of inequities we’re seeing in our economic system. But we would be making a grave mistake to turn our backs on what built the greatest middle class in the history of the world.” He defended socialism; she defended the middle class. Sanders, and the other men on the stage, didn’t look presidential; she did. Dana Milbank is a Washington Post columnist.

Dorms: Housing will only be for students at this point From Page A1
Everett-based KirtleyCole Associates will do the construction. The company is already demolishing three homes where the new student housing will be located. For Koz Development, the project fits in its strategy for building housing for students and professionals close to their work or school. “I’ve known individuals there at the college for years,” Reines said. “I think we began talking about it one day, we walked around the neighborhood and identified potential sites for it and the rest is history.” As many as 19,000 students attend EvCC each
Koz Development is the same firm that is working with Trinity Lutheran College to build a 58-room student housing building on a parking lot located in the 2600 block of Rockefeller Avenue in Everett. That project is in the final stages of permitting. The firm recently acquired land in South Lake Union in Seattle and is planning a project with a student housing nonprofit in Portland, Oregon. Koz Development expects to break ground 1:30 p.m. Oct. 22 on the EvCC housing.

And Washington State University is building a $54.6 million building, the launch of WSU North Puget Sound at Everett. Beyer said that the college will lease the student housing only to EvCC students at this point. Both he and Reines said that they would like to build more student housing at EvCC in the near future. “We’re looking at another opportunity to grow that fairly quickly within a year or two after these are built and occupied,” Beyer said.
A Snohomish development firm plans to start construction next week on an $11 million dormitory across the street from Everett Community College.

Northwest Hardwoods closed in February 2012, cutting 40 jobs and relocating about 20 other employees. At one point, under Weyerhaeuser, the company and mill employed several hundred people, Gayte and Ellis said. Northwest Hardwoods cited a low demand for wood products and a limited supply of local timber as reasons behind the closure. The property was put up for sale. Gayte purchased it for $4.2 million, according to county tax records. He made the decision last month to buy and build there. The city fast-tracked permits to make the project a reality on a short timeline, he said. Officials had been talking with Gayte since June about the land, access and utilities, Ellis said. “Now we’re going to clean up the property,” Gayte said. “It’s been sitting

It likely will be three to five years before the business park is fully built out. Several companies are interested but none have committed, Gayte said. He plans to construct buildings as businesses demand the space. Each new structure will be customized for the company that moves in.
Gayte’s background is in luxury homes. He owns Bellevue-based Gayteway Custom Homes and is trying his hand at commercial development with GS Venture Partners. A master plan of the site shows buildings ranging in size from about 42,000 square feet to more than 200,000 square feet. “The 54 acres, they just don’t make that kind of property anymore,” Gayte said. “Businesses in Everett and Marysville that

— fiction, nonfiction, poetry and young people’s literature — will be announced at a Nov. 18 ceremony in Manhattan, hosted by humorist Andy Borowitz. Don DeLillo and James Patterson will receive honorary prizes. The awards will be a showcase for numerous younger writers, from the 40-year-old Coates to the 37-year-old Groff to 23-year-old cartoonist Noelle Stevenson, a finalist in young people’s literature. Longlists of 10 for the National Book Awards were released last month, with judges Wednesday narrowing the number in each category to five. A
total of 1,428 books were submitted to the judging panels, which consist of authors, critics, booksellers and others in the publishing community willing to set aside weeks and even months to read through the nominated material. Winning authors each receive $10,000 and a bronze statue. Besides “Fates and Furies” and “A Little Life,” a 700-page novel that follows the lives of four men, fiction nominees include two short story collections, Karen Bender’s “Refund” and Adam Johnson’s “Fortune Smiles.” Also cited in fiction was Angela Flournoy’s “The Turner House.”

Nearby business owners have noted that the congested roads lead to rear-end accidents or long commutes, with drivers sitting at the same light for four or five cycles. Gayte isn’t worried about the traffic, he said. The state has earmarked $39.3 million to widen the road, add lanes and build roundabouts. That work is slated for 2021 to 2025. The business park also has easy access to Highway 9 and Highway 530, so there are multiple routes during peak traffic times, Gayte said. Traffic bottlenecks are costly for businesses and commuters, Ellis said. He thinks the state’s plans for the highway will alleviate additional traffic caused by the business park. City leaders are pushing to move up the timeline on that roadwork, he said. Kari Bray: 425-339-3439; kbray@heraldnet.com.

The aerospace giant tends to fuel growth in North Snohomish County when business is going well, he said. A new business recruiting tool in Arlington and Marysville, approved by the Legislature this year, could offer companies in the Gayteway Business Park a tax break depending on the number and type of new jobs they create. The developer cannot receive the tax break because it is tied to hiring, not building.

State’s unemployment rate dips to 5.2% By Rachel La Corte Associated Press
OLYMPIA — Washington’s unemployment rate dipped slightly in September, but the state also had a net loss of 2,200 jobs from the previous month, state officials said Wednesday. The newest numbers released by the Washington Employment Security Department show the jobless rate for September was 5.2 percent, down from August’s 5.3 percent. The national unemployment
rate for September was 5.1 percent, and the jobless rate in the Seattle-Bellevue-Everett region was 3.7 percent, up from 3.6 percent in August. Overall, four industries in the state expanded last month, seven contracted, and two were unchanged. Professional and business services saw the biggest hit, down 3,900 jobs, with most of those losses occurring in administrative and support services. Other industries that saw a decrease in jobs were: financial
activities, construction, education and health services, leisure and hospitality, retail trade and mining and logging. Information and government stayed static, while wholesale trade, manufacturing, transportation, warehousing and utilities, and other services all saw gains. “Hiring across the state took a step backward in September, although forward momentum is still being sustained,” Paul Turek, a labor economist with the Employment
Security Department, said in a statement. “Some adjustments in hiring appear to be occurring as employers start transitioning to the holiday season, and some may be due to new challenges presented by global economic conditions.” Two different surveys are used to calculate unemployment figures and job losses and gains. The unemployment rate represents the percentage of the labor force that is unemployed and actively looking for work. People who have
stopped looking for work aren’t counted. The job gains and losses estimates are based on a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics survey of businesses. The state has added an estimated 81,700 jobs since September 2014, with 71,900 of those jobs in the private sector and 9,800 in the public sector. The number of people unemployed and actively looking for work in September was to 184,400, and 52,431 people received unemployment benefits last month.

Orange dog poop spreads health message By Nathan Bruttell Corvallis Gazette-Times
CORVALLIS, Ore. — For the past three weeks, it’s been difficult for anyone walking McDonald Forest trails not to notice the countless mounds of dog poop littering the trails and walkways. And it wasn’t just because of the smell; orange poop is kind of hard to miss. On Saturday, volunteers set about picking up all of the piles of poop that were previously spray painted orange with a construction-grade paint to make the poop stand out. About 20 volunteers picked up around 1,000 piles of poop at Oak Creek, Peavy Arboretum, Lewisburg Saddle and Calloway Creek trail. The orange poop is part of a new public information campaign from the Oregon State University College of Forestry and local veterinarians aimed at bringing awareness to the amount of waste that — in addition to being unsightly and smelly — is causing potential ecological problems. “We’ve been getting dozens of complaints from people noticing the increasing amount of poop on the trails and it’s been getting worse the last couple of years,” said Ryan Brown, recreation and engagement program manager for OSU Research Forests. “We’re

all dog lovers and dog owners and walkers of these trails and we know the opportunity to have dogs out here is super important to the community of Corvallis. And 99 percent of them are really careful and clean up after their dogs. But we want people to be aware that this is causing a lot of problems.” While some community members have argued that dog poop is natural and can act as a fertilizer, local veterinarians and professors with the OSU College of Forestry say the dog poop has caused serious ecological issues along the trails and in the forests. “There are stream ecology
studies happening in the waterways along Oak Creek and anything that gets into the water can drastically change the ecology,” Brown said. “That isn’t natural and it can really throw off the health of the streams and cause certain organisms to grow that aren’t natural to the area.” Veterinarian Sharon ForsterBlouin, who owns and runs Corvallis Cat Care, volunteered for the campaign after picking up after her own dog on the trail and hearing arguments that the dog poop was natural. “I had someone say to me while I was picking it up that I was picking up valuable fertilizer
the forest needs,” she said. “I said, ‘No, I’m trying to keep you and your dog from getting horrible viruses and keeping it from contaminating the waterway.”’ Forster-Blouin, who holds a master’s degree in zoology and parasitology, said dog poop can carry dozens of parasites including roundworm, hookworm, tapeworms, whipworms, coccidia, glardia and cryptosporidium. Forster-Blouin volunteers to pick up the poop from the Oak Creek trail. Forster-Blouin is convinced that more people in Corvallis would pick up after their dogs if they were aware of the ecological and public health problems. “The thing that I find to be interesting is that there is no human litter. People in Corvallis are environmentally aware and care about where they live and they don’t litter on these trails,” she said. “But I don’t think they realize that dog stool is litter.” Brown said she’s hopeful that even if people disagree with the environmental and sanitary concerns, they would pick up after their dogs for another tough-tomiss reason. “It stinks. In the summertime we get a lot of complaints from people who won’t walk these trails anymore because there is so much poop,” she said. “I mean, it’s gross.”
SPOKANE — Thinning forests of fuel, pre-certifying more volunteer firefighters and greater use of drone aircraft were some of the ideas put forward to reduce the size of wildfires in Washington at a round-table discussion Wednesday chaired by Sen. Maria Cantwell and Rep. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers. This year saw the biggest wildfire season in state history, with more than 1 million acres burned and three firefighters killed. “We had the fire season we had all feared,” said McMorris-Rodgers, R-Wash., who represents the Spokane region. Cantwell, D-Wash., said this was also the longest fire season in state history, thanks to drought conditions, and battling the fires cost $319 million. “We need to be better prepared for the next fire season,” she said. Cantwell noted that forecasts call for a warm winter with lower-than-average snowpack, which could set the stage for another big fire season in 2016. Moving through Congress is a proposal that would remove firefighting costs from the budget of the U.S. Forest Service and place them under the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Under the current system, the Forest Service has to use funds intended for thinning and maintaining forests to fight fires. The lack of maintenance work leads to bigger fires in future years, the lawmakers said. McMorris-Rodgers said after the meeting that a bill to place firefighting funds under the FEMA budget had passed the House. Cantwell said a bill to make that change might be introduced as early as next week in the Senate. But the lawmakers were mostly there to listen to a group that included representatives of fire departments, local politicians, private business and Indian tribes. There was general agreement that spending more money to remove fuel from the state’s dry forests would dramatically reduce costs. Cantwell said studies show that reducing fuels in the forest can cut firefighting costs by two-thirds in the course of a season. “The game changes when we have the ability to manage a fire,” said Russ Vaagen, a vice president of Vaagen Bros. Lumber Co. in Colville. The state also needs better weather forecasting equipment, especially Doppler radar in central Washington, for early warning of explosive fire conditions, Cantwell said.

Maintenance issues to close brand new whitewater park By Scott Hammers The Bulletin
BEND, Ore. — Damaged equipment, washed away rock and unfinished business are behind the closure of the Bend Whitewater Park, which will close Monday, just over a month after it was opened to the public. The Bend Park & Recreation District is shutting down the park to attend to
maintenance issues, some of which were anticipated before the Sept. 18 opening, and others that have emerged since then. The park will remain closed through the end of the year. The $9.7 million project removed the aging dam at the Colorado Avenue bridge and divided the river into three channels. Pneumatic bladders raise panels to control the flow
of water into one channel for floaters, and are used to create four standing waves in a second channel for kayakers and other whitewater users. A third channel features slowmoving water and provides wildlife habitat. Project manager Chelsea Schneider said the park district had always expected to be working on the project past its official
opening date, to fine-tune the flow of water. Two of the pneumatic lines used to inflate the bladders are believed to have been damaged during construction, rendering two bladders in the whitewater channel inoperable. One potential safety issue has been identified since the park opened, and crews will look to correct it starting Monday.
Schneider said that in various locations, large gravel was used to fill gaps between larger rocks. Much of that gravel has been washed away by the river, she said, and will be replaced by concrete grout. In other places, larger rocks will be moved to alter the shape of the waves in the whitewater channel, and the flow of water though the
floaters’ channel. Schneider said crews will be looking closely at Waves 3 and 4. Wave 4 was designed for river surfing, she said, but appears to be better for kayakers. Reports from users suggest Wave 3 has the potential to be a “great surf wave,” she said, and crews will be moving rocks to try to achieve the desired result.

AL West bows out Toronto beats Texas in a bizarre game and Kansas City rallies past Houston as both winners advance to the ALCS, C3
THURSDAY, 10.15.2015
Silvertips acclimating to 3-on-3 OT format Everett won it’s first overtime game after the WHL adopted the new overtime rule put in place by the NHL this season. By Jesse Geleynse Herald Writer
a back, you’ve got to have some patience and poise running the ball, and he’s showed that.” Said Petersen: “That’s a pretty unique gift, I think.” Bhonapha said he isn’t necessarily surprised by Gaskin’s patience — that’s what coaches saw while recruiting him at O’Dea High School, where Gaskin rushed for 1,567 yards and 25 touchdowns as a senior — but said he’s been impressed by his maturity. Washington’s opener at Boise State, in which Gaskin rushed for just five yards on five carries, was the only time Bhonapha saw the freshman play like a freshman. “You could kind of sense he had a little bit of anxiety,” Bhonapha said. “But outside of that, I think the most impressive thing is how mature he is, and how much he can handle when the game is going on.”
EVERETT — Ask virtually any of the Canadians on the Everett Silvertips roster and chances are they recall fond memories of playing outdoor hockey with friends on the frozen ponds of Alberta, Saskatchewan or Manitoba. The Everett players were reminded of their pond hockey days during the Tips’ first overtime game of the season — a 5-4 victory against Spokane — and Everett’s first game under the new 3-on-3 overtime format. “You try to have the puck as much as you can so you don’t have to chase (the opponents),” said Everett captain Dawson Leedahl. “You want to be aggressive. You can’t give them too much time or else they’re going to be able to make plays out there. There is lots of room so you want to take away time and space.” The WHL adopted the new 3-on-3 overtime rule that was put in place by the National Hockey League this season. Prior to this year the WHL used a 4-on-4 format in overtime. The idea was to Kevin cut down on the Contantine: number of games “I thought it ending in a shoot- was extremely out. Last season entertaining. there were 64 WHL The fans games that ended should be in overtime and thrilled with 69 that went all the the chance to way to a shootout. watch a little bit of it.” The American Hockey League, the NHL’s primary minor developmental circuit, last season introduced a seven-minute overtime period that begins at 4-on-4 for three minutes which switches to 3-on-3 for the final four minutes if necessary. Overtime games that progressed all the way to shootouts dropped from 65 percent during the 2013-14 season to 25 percent last season. Thus far the Everett players and coaches seem happy with the new rule. “I thought it was extremely entertaining,” Silvertips head coach Kevin Constantine said. “The fans should be thrilled with the chance to watch a little bit of it.” The NHL took proactive steps to acclimate its players to the new system. The league played a

Washington tailback Myles Gaskin carries the ball during a game against Utah State on Sept. 19 in Seattle.
Myles from Montlake UW coaches impressed with freshman Gaskin’s patience, maturity By Christian Caple The News Tribune
SEATTLE — How impressive was Myles Gaskin, Washington’s freshman tailback, during the Huskies’ 17-12 upset of USC last week? So impressive that a question to coach Chris Petersen on Monday about Gaskin’s future playing time was answered with a rare degree of certainty. Asked if Gaskin, who rushed for 134 yards and a touchdown against the Trojans, earned more carries with his play, Petersen began his response: “Absolutely.” And while running backs coach Keith Bhonapha wasn’t quite ready to say Wednesday that Gaskin has earned the title of top back ahead of fourth-year junior Dwayne Washington — Gaskin carried 22 times against USC, and Washington just nine — it’s obvious now that the freshman possesses certain skills that others on the roster do not.

Seahawks unsure of Wagner’s status for Sunday The middle linebacker and defensive captain suffered a pectoral injury in Seattle’s overtime loss to the Bengals. By Nick Patterson Herald Writer
RENTON — The Seattle Seahawks’ defense is already reeling. Seattle surrendered a 17-point fourth-quarter lead in its 27-24 overtime loss at Cincinnati last Sunday, and it was the third time in this young NFL season the Seahawks lost despite holding a fourth-quarter lead.

All-Pro middle linebacker Bobby Wagner is a question mark for Sunday’s home game against the Carolina Panthers because of a pectoral injury, meaning the Seahawks may have to rebound from their devastating loss to the Bengals without arguably their most important defensive piece.

Last season he missed five games in the middle of the season with a toe injury, and the Seahawks struggled in his absence with losses to St. Louis and Kansas City. But when Wagner returned Seattle went on a roll, winning eight straight games through the end of the regular season and the playoffs before finally being beat by New England in the Super Bowl.

eavy rain dirtied the Snohomish River over the weekend, but if it clears by Saturday — and it looks like it might — the coho fishing could be good. Mike Chamberlain at Ted’s Sports Center in Lynnwood said there were fair to good numbers of coho in the river before the rains, and with the additional fish the shot of freshwater should bring in, the success rate for river anglers could jump this weekend. Probably the top gear choice, Chamberlain said, would be float and eggs, but a range of hardware will catch silvers. Chamberlain recommended a No. 3 or No. 4 Vibrax spinner in chartreuse, with or without a small hoochie; twitching jigs in black or cerise; or Dick Nite spoons. “Look for the deeper, slower holes, particularly with woody debris, such as Thomas’ eddy, or the mouth of the Pilchuck,” Chamberlain said. Coho fishing remains fair, but spotty, in the saltwater and is winding down. Action off the Whidbey Island beaches also is declining, Chamberlain said. The Satsop and Wynoochee rivers, traditional hosts to late runs of large coho, have been good, as have the coastal rivers. All Star Charters owner/skipper Gary Krein has been putting his customers into a lot of fish off Jefferson Head, working out of Shilshole Marina in Seattle. Lots of shakers, he said, but fair numbers of nice 5- or 6-pound fish. Krein said he’ll be coming back to Everett for the Nov. 1 winter blackmouth opener in Marine Areas 8-1, 8-2 and 9.
Fish Lake, located a mile northeast of Lake Wenatchee, is a popular year-around destination for trout and perch and, to a lesser degree, smallmouth and largemouth bass. The lake holds rainbow, brown and brook trout; large perch, which become a target of ice fishermen during the winter months, and smaller populations of smallmouth and largemouth bass. It’s a scenic area, and particularly appealing in the fall, when big browns go into spawning mode and become more aggressive and easier to catch. Spring and fall offer the best action, and Nadine West, co-owner of The Cove Resort (509-763-3130), said fishing is good now for multipound triploids and standard rainbows going 13 to 16 inches. Trollers

are pulling a High Lake Special with a worm (the lure is available at the resort) and bank and dock anglers are soaking Power Bait, or a worm under a bobber. Brown trout are large and smart, but a little easier to find during the fall months. West said the largest brown weighed at the resort went 9½ pounds. The early mornings or evening hours are the best times to target the big fish. Oddly, trolled flies — shrimp patterns, green Careys, woolly worms — are good lures for the browns. West said the first brown trout this fall came in last week, and that fishing for the trophy trout should improve through the end of this month and on into November. — Wayne Kruse
Just in time for the opening of statewide waterfowl hunting, repairs began Monday that will disrupt public access to the “headquarters unit” of the Skagit Wildlife Area. The Skagit WA is probably the premier public-access waterfowl hunting site in Western Washington. Contractors for the state Fish and Wildlife Department started Monday on repairs to the tide gate and culvert structure along Wiley Slough, with work estimated to last through Dec. 18. According to state wildlife area manager Belinda Rotton, the trail along the dike and the small-boat launch for the marsh area will be closed weekdays, but open on Saturdays and Sundays. The boat launch to Freshwater Slough is open daily. Repairs are designed to address concerns about effective tide gate drainage and failing culverts.
wild fish); daily limit of five hatchery rainbows of less than 20 inches, with a clipped adipose fin; must stop fishing after retaining two hatchery steelhead, regardless of the number of rainbow trout retained; selectivegear rules and night closure in effect, except bait may be used on the mainstem Columbia; and release all steelhead with a floy tag attached and/or one or more round holes punched in the tail. State biologist Ryan Fortier said there could be some silty runoff in the Methow this fall/winter from drainages left bare by the summer wildfires, but that’s difficult to predict. There was some last year, he said, and this year could see more dirty water, particularly from the Cedar Creek and Benson Creek drainages. The majority of fishing on the Methow is done on the lower half of the river, where float/jig rigs or flies are popular.
Methow to open
Trout
Steelhead and rainbow trout fishing opened today on the upper Columbia, Methow and Okanogan rivers. They will be joined by the Similkameen on Nov. 1. The Methow, probably the water of most interest to anglers from this side of the Cascades, is open from its mouth to the confluence with the Chewuch in Winthrop. Fishing from a floating device is prohibited from the second powerline crossing (1 mile above the mouth) to the first Highway 153 bridge (4 miles above the mouth). Other rules include: mandatory retention of hatchery steelhead with a clipped adipose fin (daily limit two hatchery steelhead; release all
More anglers are participating in the autumn trout fishery in local lakes, according to Mike Chamberlain (above), and action has picked up in a number of waters. Lake Goodwin is producing rainbows to 20 inches (troll a dark woolly bugger), and Lake Armstrong fish to 18 inches on Power Bait. On the eastside, Jameson Lake in Douglas County has been excellent for limits of rainbow averaging 11 to 14 inches with a few significantly larger. Jameson operates under a split season, and will close at the end of the month.
Razor clam delay Elevated levels of marine toxins
have prompted state shellfish managers to postpone the start of razor clam digging on coastal beaches. Domoic acid levels have dropped significantly since last spring, when the state was forced to curtail digging, said state biologist Dan Ayres in Montesano, but are still above the threshold for human consumption set by the state Health Department. Since 1991, when the toxin was first detected on the Pacific Coast, outbreaks have prompted the cancellation of three entire digging seasons in Washington — the last in 2002-03. “We’re optimistic that there will be some sort of season,” Ayres said, “but opening in November? I don’t know about that. If I had to guess, I would say it may take a little longer.” The department’s preference, he said, would be to open all beaches simultaneously, but realistically they will probably be opened piecemeal, on a safe-to-dig basis. “When you open just one beach, you of course put all the diggers there. Some beaches, such as Long Beach, can handle that sort of pressure, but Twin Harbors, for instance, cannot.”
Hanford Reach fall kings Fall chinook fishing was a hot item on the Hanford Reach last week, according to state biologist Paul Hoffarth in Pasco, with averages just under three kings per boat and approaching one per rod. All three launch areas — Ringold, White Bluffs and Vernita — put out about the same averages, with the area just above the Tri-Cities a little slower. Bank anglers at the Ringold access put 60-plus kings on the bank last week. These are big fish, generally running 15 to 30 pounds, and trollers go after ’em with herring- or sardinewrapped Kwikfish, or Super Baits stuffed with tuna and scent. Other fishermen drift eggs, or back-troll diver/egg setups. Hoffarth said the in-season run update for the Reach on Oct. 7 continued to predict a record escapement of more than 200,000 adult chinook this fall, and a harvest to this point of about 25,600 adults.
Yakima chinook Hoffarth (above) said the chinook fishery on the lower Yakima River picked up last week, as checkers tallied 212 anglers with 70 kings and one coho. The bulk of the effort has been between Prosser and Horn Rapids Dam, but the season closes Oct. 22. For more outdoor news, read Wayne Kruse’s blog at www.healdnet. com/huntingandfishing.
Lynx win 3rd WNBA title in 5 years EnduroCross
racing heads to Everett on Saturday night
Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — With a suffocating defense and a yearning to celebrate in front of their loyal fans, the Minnesota Lynx turned a tense WNBA Finals into a runaway. Sylvia Fowles had 20 points and 11 rebounds, and the Lynx captured their third championship in five years with a 69-52 victory over the Indiana Fever in Game 5 on Wednesday night. Seimone Augustus added 16 points and Rebekkah Brunson grabbed 14 rebounds for the Lynx, who also won it all in 2011 and 2013. Maya Moore scored just five points on 1-for-8 shooting, but the Lynx defense forced 21 turnovers and held Indiana to 35.7 percent shooting in the league’s first Game 5 since 2009. “This never gets old,” champagne-soaked Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve said. Tamika Catchings had 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Fever, who were looking for their second championship. Finally, the Lynx got to celebrate on their home court. They won their first two titles on the road in Atlanta, forcing the success-starved Twin Cities sports fans to revel from afar. When the final buzzer

we’ve had a couple discussions of it. There is the theory you’ll get from colleagues and the experience you’ll get from doing it, but it may take two or three years to come up with a strategy.” Teams have to play with a mix of conservatism and aggression. The Silvertips want to create scoring chances, but one errant pass or poor line change could have catastrophic consequences leading to an odd man rush or a breakaway — like being back on the frozen pond. “You have to go back and drag the puck a little bit so your linemates can change and get fresh bodies out there,” Leedahl said. “(There is) not much hitting
said. It was a stunning collapse for the previously unflappable Fever, who had staved off elimination five straight times in these playoffs leading into Game 5. In the second and third quarters, the Fever scored 12 points total and turned the ball over 17 times. “They just outplayed us in every single way,” Fever coach Stephanie White said. “They looked like a team that was on a mission and they played like it.”
because if you miss a hit you’re going to be out of position. There’s a lot of room on the ice.” And of course there is plenty of pressure on the goaltender in that situation. Everett netminder Carter Hart did not face a shot in the overtime victory against Spokane as the Silvertips created both scoring opportunities before Remi Laurencelle’s game-winner. “You have to stay the same the whole game,” Hart said. “You can’t really think about any different situations. You just have to worry about stopping the puck. It’s definitely entertaining for the fans.” So far in the WHL this season
Some of the top EnduroCross riders in the world will be at Everett’s Xfinity Arena on Saturday night for 2½ hours of extreme off-road racing over an indoor Supercross-style course. The course obstacles will include boulders, logs, sand, mud, giant tires and a water hole. Among the competitors will be 2014 AMA EnduroCross series champion Cody Webb, who shares the 2015 series points lead with Colton Haaker. Also on hand will be Tarah Gieger, a seven-times medalist at the X Games in supermotocross and endurocross. She is ranked among the top five women riders in the world. Racing begins at 7:30 p.m., and tickets range from $10 to $45. Advance tickets may be purchased online at www.motocross. transworld.net/endurocross/ buy-tickets. There is an autograph and photo session is at 6:30 p.m. A practice session is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and it is free to the public.
there have been 11 games settled in overtime and six games that have gone to a shootout. Last season Everett had a 5-2 record in seven games decided in overtime and a 1-4 mark in five games that finished with a shootout. The Silvertips are off to a favorable start with a 1-0 mark in overtime games. Whether that is based on Everett’s systems or simple luck remains to be seen. “We have no evidence,” Constantine said. “We don’t know if our theories are good or bad, but we’ve got a couple ideas that we’re trying to do.” Follow Silvertips writer Jesse Geleynse on Twitter @jessegeleynse.

Toronto’s Jose Bautista flips his bat after hitting a three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning in the Blue Jays’ 6-3 win over Texas in Game 5 of the American League Division Series on Wednesday.

TORONTO — Jose Bautista wiped out the need for protests or umpire reviews with the Toronto Blue Jays’ biggest home run since Joe Carter’s historic shot. Toronto earned its first trip to the American League Championship Series since Carter’s World Series-ending drive in 1993, overcoming one of the craziest plays in playoff history when Bautista hit a three-run homer after three Texas Rangers errors for a 6-3 victory Wednesday in the deciding Game 5 of the Division Series. “It’s the most emotionally charged game that I’ve ever played,” Bautista said. The Blue Jays became the third team to win a best-offive series after losing the first two games at home. The 2001 Yankees also did it against Oakland, and the 2012 Giants did it against Cincinnati. Both of those teams went on to reach the World Series. “The odds were against us but I don’t think these guys ever thought we were out of it,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. Toronto, who led the majors in homers this season, will play
the winner of Game 5 between Houston and Kansas City later Wednesday. Game 1 of the ALCS is Friday night. “It doesn’t really matter, we’re just happy we’re going to the next round,” Blue Jays slugger Josh Donaldson said. “Whoever we play is a very, very good opponent.” Bautista’s homer capped an event-filled, 53-minute seventh inning that took a turn when Toronto catcher Russell Martin’s seemingly routine throw back to the pitcher deflected off batter Shin-Soo Choo and allowed the tiebreaking to score. “That was crazy,” Blue Jays starter Marcus Stroman said. “With all that happened, we did a good job of keeping our emotions in check.” The Blue Jays filed a protest after an umpire review ruled Rougned Odor was allowed to cross home plate. Toronto fans pelted the field with debris during the 18-minute delay. The Rangers started the bottom half by making errors on three straight groundballs, and Toronto rallied. Benches cleared twice in the Blue Jays’ half of the inning. Roberto Osuna got the final five outs for his first postseason save.
Osuna turned toward the outfield after striking out Wil Venable, looked to the sky and was mobbed by his teammates as jubilant fans rocked the Rogers Centre. After Edwin Encarnacion tied it 2-all with a second-deck drive off tough-luck loser Cole Hamels in the sixth, Odor led off the seventh with a single and went to third on a sacrifice and groundout. With Choo up, Martin’s throw back to reliever Aaron Sanchez deflected off Choo and dribbled toward third base. Home plate umpire Dale Scott initially ruled it a dead ball but, after Rangers manager Jeff Banister questioned the call, the umpires huddled and Odor was sent home. Martin was given an error. “I just caught the ball and threw it back very casually and it hit his bat and then next thing you know run scores,” Martin said. “It’s never happened in my life before. It’s just one of those moments, and it created an opportunity for us to do something special.” Scott acknowledged making a mistake with his initial ruling. “I was mixing up two rules,” Scott said. “If there’s no intent, if he’s not out of the box, that throw is live.” Fans littered the field with objects during the delay as umpires sorted out a play that
SEATTLE — Not everyone is leaving the Mariners’ front office under new general manager Jerry Dipoto. Quite a few are staying, in fact. Assistant general manager Jeff Kingston will return for a seventh season, club officials confirmed Wednesday, along with amateur scouting director Tom McNamara and pro scouting director Tom Allison. McNamara will be back for his eighth season, which suggests Dipoto assigns most of the blame for the organization’s spotty in-house pipeline in recent years to the player-development department. Chris Gwynn announced recently he would not return for a fifth season as the player-development director. The Mariners also made numerous staff changes throughout their farm system, although Triple-A Tacoma manager Pat Listach will be offered the chance to return for a second season. Allison is back for his fourth season. His previous jobs included a tour as Arizona’s scouting director when Dipoto served as the Diamondbacks’ interim general manager. Kingston was one of three finalists to replace Jack Zduriencik as the Mariners’ general manager before president Kevin Mather, with ownership’s approval, chose Dipoto on Sept. 28. While Dipoto dismissed several of Zduriencik’s inner staff, he chose to keep long-time special assistants Roger Hansen and Ken Madeja. Also returning is Tim Kissner as international operations director. Those departing, announced previously, include senior advisor Ted Simmons and special assistants Joe McIlvaine and Pete Vuckovich. Club officials confirmed at least eight minor-league coaches and coordinators are not being retained, including two Tacoma coaches: pitching coach Jaime Navarro and hitting coach Cory Snyder. The Mariners also dismissed one coach at Short-A Everett: pitching coach Jason Blanton. Also departing: Lo-A Clinton manager Scott Steinmann, hitting coach Mike Davis and pitching coach Cibney Bello; minor-league pitching coordinator Terry Clark; and minor-league hitting coordinator Lee May Jr. Former big-league hitting coach Howard Johnson, who was reassigned in June after the club hired Edgar Martinez, is also leaving the organization. Martinez and infield coach Chris Woodward the only coaches being retained on the big-league staff. Manager Lloyd McClendon was fired earlier this week, along with four of his staff: bench coach Trent Jewett, third-base coach Rich Donnelly, outfield coach Andy Van Slyke and bullpen coach Mike Rojas. The Mariners said pitching coach Rick Waits and qualitycontrol coach Chris Prieto would be offered other positions within the organization.
Cueto’s dominance carries Kansas City into ALCS By Dave Skretta Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Johnny Cueto delivered a masterpiece on his biggest stage yet, pitching eight dominant innings Wednesday night and leading the never-saydie Kansas City Royals to a 7-2 victory over the Houston Astros and back to the American League Championship Series. Cueto allowed two hits, a single by Evan Gattis followed by Luis Valbuena’s second-inning homer, before retiring the final 19 batters he faced. He struck out eight without a walk in the kind of clutch
performance the Royals expected when they traded for him. When Wade Davis breezed through the ninth, the Royals poured onto the field to celebrate. The defending AL champs will host the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 1 on Friday night. The teams have met once before in the ALCS with the Royals winning in seven games in 1985 — they would go on to beat the St. Louis Cardinals for their only World Series triumph. The Royals trailed 2-1 in the fifth when Alex Rios led yet another comeback with a go-ahead, tworun double. Eric Hosmer and Ben Zobrist also drove in runs, while
Kendrys Morales capped the festive night with a three-run homer off Dallas Keuchel in the eighth to put it away. Collin McHugh (1-1), who won the divisional series opener for Houston, allowed three runs in four-plus innings. His bullpen fared little better just two days after it blew a four-run, eighthinning lead to send the series back to Kauffman Stadium for Game 5. Kansas City has now won 10 of its last 13 playoff games at home. The Astros actually seemed poised after their meltdown Sunday, bolting to the lead in front of a
charged Kansas City crowd thanks to rare Royals defensive lapses. With two outs in the second, Gattis sent a slow hopper down the line that third baseman Mike Moustakas fielded cleanly. But with plenty of time, his throw across the infield went wide, and first baseman Eric Hosmer had the ball pop from his glove trying to make a swipe tag. On the next pitch, Valbuena sent his two-run homer streaking into the Astros bullpen. It wasn’t until the fourth that Kansas City got a run back, on back-to-back singles by Cain and Hosmer. By the fifth, the
Royals had figured out McHugh’s curveball. Salvador Perez was hit by a pitch, and Alex Gordon hit a ground-rule double to right. Astros manager A.J. Hinch brought in Mike Fiers in relief, and Rios sent a double bouncing down the chalk of the third-base line, scoring two runs and giving the Royals the lead. Following a sacrifice bunt, Zobrist’s lazy sacrifice fly made it 4-2. That was plenty of support for Cueto, who was acquired from the Reds for a package prospects before the July 31 trade deadline precisely for moments like this.

Florida DB accused of shooting at girlfriend

Sunday’s game against the undefeated Bengals. He missed two plays because of the injury, one of those resulting in a Cincinnati touchdown. But Wagner returned on Seattle’s next defensive position and finished out the game. However, reports following the game suggested the injury was severe enough it could force Wagner to miss time. He did not participate in practice Wednesday, and Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was unsure whether Wagner would be available when Seattle hosts the 4-0 Carolina Panthers on Sunday. “We’re going to go day-to-day,” Carroll said Wednesday during his press conference at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. “He feels a lot better than he did at game time when he was hurt, and we’re just going to see how it goes. It’ll go all the way to the game, for sure. He’s determined to play, he wants to play and he thinks he can, but we won’t know until we get there.” If the Seahawks don’t have Wagner available it would likely result in a shuffling of the deck at linebacker. Carroll suggested K.J. Wright, Seattle’s regular starter at weakside linebacker, would likely move inside to take Wagner’s spot, something he did for three of the five games Wagner missed last season. Meanwhile Kevin Pierre-Louis, expected to return after missing the past two games because of a hamstring injury, would be the first candidate to fill in for Wright on the weak side. Wright, who is second to Wagner on the team in tackles (22 solo, 11 assists), doesn’t believe it’s going to come to that, but if so he said he’s ready for the challenge and added responsibility of moving inside. “I think (Wagner) is actually going to be able to go, I think everything’s going to work out, I talked to him and he seems to be fine,” Wright said Wednesday. “But no matter what I’m going to practice at both of them this week, get reps at both positions and see what happens on Sunday.” Wright talked about the differences between playing on the outside and in the middle, emphasizing the communication aspects of playing inside. “You’re the quarterback of the defense, so if a guy’s not lined up right it’s your fault,” Wright explained. “If something happens it’s all on the middle linebacker. I’ve done it before and I’ll do fine. “It’s not too much different (from playing outside),” Wright added. “You just have to make the calls, get everyone lined up. I’ve talked to Mike (Bennett), I’ve talked to Kam (Chancellor) to help me out if I am out there and make sure everything’s in order, so everything should be fine.” The other option for the Seahawks would be for Brock Coyle to start in place of Wagner, with Wright staying in his usual spot. But whether Wagner plays or not, Wright acknowledges Seattle’s defense needs to be better in the fourth quarter. “I believe we might get a little bit comfortable, and teams just make big plays,” Wright said about playing with a lead in the fourth quarter. “We’ve dominated them so much we don’t think they’ll keep making those big plays. It’s something we’ve been emphasizing and eventually one day it’s going to stop.”
Ex-Patriots lineman Adams dies at age 67 Associated Press HOUSTON — Former New England Patriots offensive lineman Sam Adams died in Houston at the age of 67. No cause of death was released Wednesday. Adams spent most of his NFL career with New England, finishing with New Orleans in 1981. His son, also named Sam Adams, played for Texas A&M. He joined the Seahawks in 1994 and his NFL career through 2007 included stops in Baltimore, Oakland, Buffalo, Cincinnati and Denver. The younger Adams was the owner of the Everett Hawks indoor football team that played in Snohomish County from 2005-07.

Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has missed the past two games due to an injury suffered against the Bears on Sept. 27. Lynch is expected to return when Seattle faces Carolina on Sunday.
Lynch set to return from injury against Panthers By Nick Patterson Herald Writer
RENTON — Beast Mode is returning to a CenturyLink Field near you. Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is set to return from injury for Sunday’s home game against the Carolina Panthers, which should add another element to Seattle’s run game. “He should be ready to go,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. “We’re going to do the week so that he’ll practice full-go (Thursday) and Friday. He went through walkthroughs today, he’s going to run today for conditioning purposes. He looks great, he looks ready to go.” Lynch suffered the injury late in the first half of Seattle’s 26-0 home victory over Chicago three weeks ago and did not return. He sat out both Seattle’s 13-10 home win over Detroit and Seattle’s 27-24 overtime loss at Cincinnati because of the injury. There was a thought that Lynch would be able to return against the Bengals last Sunday, but the Seahawks
decided not to risk it. In Lynch’s absence, Thomas Rawls filled in admirably. The undrafted rookie gained 104 yards on 16 carries in relief of Lynch against Chicago, had a tougher time against Detroit as he was limited to 48 yards on 17 carries, then broke out big time against Cincinnati with 169 yards on 23 carries, including an electric 69-yard touchdown run. But while Carroll expressed full confidence in Rawls, he said he plans on putting the ball back into Lynch’s hands with a full workload. “I think he’s earned that,” Carroll said when asked if Lynch gets the No. 1 job back. “But Thomas will be there for him when Marshawn needs a break. We’ll jump in and be excited to see what Thomas will do, too. He’s really made a big statement about how he fits in with our style of play and we’re thrilled about that, so we won’t hesitate. There’s always been a rotation there to some extent, we want to keep Marshawn as fresh as we can and keep him at a really high tempo, so we’ll do that like we’ve done in the past, but Thomas will be the No. 2.”
Transactions The Seahawks added two players to their 53-man roster, signing freeagent cornerback Crezdon Butler and adding linebacker Nick Moody from their practice squad. Butler was originally a fifthround pick in the 2010 draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since then he has kicked around the league, being a part of seven different organizations, most recently in Detroit. He provides depth at cornerback after the Seahawks had to put Tharold Simon (toe) on injured reserve, then also played without Marcus Burley (thumb) and Tye Smith (hip) last week. Moody was a sixth-round pick by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2013 draft. He was released by the 49ers just before the season began and subsequently signed to Seattle’s practice squad. Moody provides insurance at middle linebacker in case starter Bobby Wagner (pectoral) is unable to play Sunday. Butler and Moody take the roster spots freed up when the Seahawks released receiver B.J. Daniels and running back Rod Smith on Tuesday. Smith was subsequently claimed Wednesday by Dallas, joining Christine Michael as former Seattle running backs picked up on the cheap by the Cowboys the past six weeks. Daniels went unclaimed and is a candidate to be signed to Seattle’s practice squad.

Cassel replacing Weeden as Cowboys starting QB Associated Press IRVING, Texas — Matt Cassel will start at quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys after Brandon Weeden lost all three of his starts in place of the injured Tony Romo. The Cowboys also are promoting rookie guard La’el Collins, a projected first-round pick from LSU who wasn’t selected because his name surfaced in the investigation of a woman’s death days before the draft. Coach Jason Garrett said Wednesday the move to Cassel was an attempt to spark a team that needs to win at least once, and probably twice, in the next four games without Romo, who will be out at least that long with a broken left collarbone. The Cowboys (2-3) are on their bye and have about a week
and a half to get Cassel ready to face the NFC East-leading New York Giants on Oct. 25. “We just felt like we wanted to give Matt an opportunity to be in this role and see if we can get our offense going a little bit more and get our team going a little bit more,” Garrett said. In Cassel, Dallas is picking someone with more experience — and more wins. Cassel made 71 starts for New England, Kansas City and Minnesota and has 33 wins to just five for Weeden, although both have losing records for their careers.
Bills won’t rule out QB Taylor ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Though Buffalo Bills starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor has a sprained left knee, coach Rex Ryan won’t entirely rule him out from playing against Cincinnati on Sunday. Ryan provided the update before
the team’s practice on Wednesday. Ryan said Taylor would practice on a limited basis, with backup EJ Manuel taking a majority of the snaps. Ryan disputed reports that Taylor could miss as many as three weeks because of the injury. If Taylor can’t play against the Bengals (5-0), Manuel will make his first start in more than a year. The Bills (3-2) addressed their depth at quarterback by signing six-year journeyman Josh Johnson on Tuesday.
Fined for honoring dad? PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward says he was fined by the NFL for paying tribute to his late father. Heyward tweeted on Wednesday that the league penalized him for writing “Iron Head” on his eye black during a game. Heyward’s father, Craig, spent a decade as a running back in the NFL and went by the nickname “Ironhead” for his physical style of play. Craig Heyward died in 2006 at the age of 39 following a lengthy battle with cancer.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida freshman defensive back Deiondre Porter was suspended indefinitely Wednesday following his arrest for allegedly firing a gun in the direction of his pregnant girlfriend. One of Florida’s top special teams players, Porter was arrested Wednesday on four felony charges, including domestic violence enhancements. He is being held on a $160,000 bond in the Alachua County Jail. The incident occurred at 2:15 a.m. on Sept. 29, three days after the eighth-ranked Gators beat rival Tennessee in Gainesville. Porter did not play the last two weeks. The woman came forward Monday, nearly two weeks later, to report the incident. “She said she was scared. She was dealing with a well-known UF football player and she was honestly terrified to come to the police and report it,” said Officer Ben Tobias, a police spokesman. The Gators announced Porter’s suspension on Twitter, and coach Jim McElwain addressed it on the Southeastern Conference coaches call. “He’s no longer with the football team,” McElwain said. “He’s suspended indefinitely for obviously a choice. It’s his choice not to be with us. I’m sure you’ll read about it soon enough. It’s one of those things that we don’t obviously condone. Like I said, it was his choice.”

And he recovered from that Boise State game pretty well, rushing for 146 yards and three touchdowns (on 14 carries) against Sacramento State the following week. He averages 5.6 yards per carry and through five games has carried the ball 25 more times than Dwayne Washington — who, it should be noted, rushed for 109 yards on 10 carries against California just three weeks ago, and might still be the team’s most dangerous offensive player. UW needs them both. “I think their style is so different — Dwayne being more the long-strider guy, and Myles being more your kind of scat-back who has great feet, great vision and can make guys miss in a small space,” Bhonapha said. “I think that’s really the big thing. I think when it came to the past couple weeks, when we played Cal the week before, there was just some big, gaping holes where Dwayne was able to kind of open up a little bit. And this past week, Myles was able to make some things happen just by being patient and using his vision.”
Baker recovery ‘unbelievable’ Budda Baker left UW’s Sept. 19 win over Utah State with an ankle injury on the third play of the game, then missed the Huskies’ loss to California the next week. That the sophomore safety was able to return in time for UW’s Oct. 8 win at USC, defensive backs coach Jimmy Lake said, was “unbelievable.” Baker, a freshman All-America selection last season, finished the game with eight tackles. He returned to practice last week — Lake said they knew last Tuesday or so that he would be able to play against the Trojans — though he tried to come back earlier. “He’s one of the toughest guys I’ve ever been around, that I’ve ever had the opportunity to coach,” Lake said. “He would text me and say, ‘Coach, I’m ready to go today.’ Then I would talk to Rob (Scheidegger), the trainer, (and he would say) no, he’s not ready to go today. “So he’s just that kind of guy. He’s tough. He would try to go out there and do my drills, and I was like, ‘no, get off to the side.’ That’s just the way he is. He is definitely a different football player, in a great way.”

E-W to induct first Hall of Fame class By David Krueger Herald Writer
Angie McGuire just felt like something was missing. The Edmonds-Woodway athletic director, who grew up in Edmonds and was a member of the first Edmonds-Woodway High School graduating class, walked through the halls at her school and realized there was no real connection to the storied past of Edmonds athletics. So, along with some help from the community, McGuire set out to fix that. A few years later McGuire is getting set to honor the first-ever class into the Edmonds-Woodway High School Athletic Hall of Fame at a ceremony at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Great Hall in Edmonds-Woodway High School. “When they merged (Edmonds and Woodway high schools), in the 90-91 school year, neither school had an athletic hall of fame at that time,” McGuire said. “And I’m aware of this because I was a senior that year. The real move was to focus on moving forward. The focus was moving
forward as Edmonds-Woodway — as a united school. Which was great. As the years have gone by, we’ve really missed having a lot of the history that was attached to Edmonds High School and Woodway High School. It’s something we’ve always been aware of. It’s something myself and a lot of other individuals have been talking about for about four years. “This is the 25th year of Edmonds-Woodway High School so it seemed like a really great opportunity to really go back and recognize individuals that have come through all three schools.” Edmonds High School opened in 1909 and remained until the 1989-90 school year. Woodway High School, which began in 1967, also closed after the 1990 school year as the two schools merged to form Edmonds-Woodway High School in 1990. The EWHS Hall of Fame inductees span all three schools. The inaugural class includes: coaches Tom Campbell, Bryce Cook, Bruce Evans, Mike Hess, Rich Rowe, Art Snoey, Fred Shull and Dale Parker; athletes Karen Bryant, Deanna Carr, Mike Rankin
and Karl Van Calcar; and the 1949 Edmonds football team and 1984 Woodway girls basketball team, which won a state championship. “Really the big goal for us is to invite people back into the high school and bring that history back into the school,” McGuire said. “The hall of fame plaques will line the entry to the gym in hallway. I think that will just be such an amazing thing to this school, to have those individuals up with their pictures.” The EWHS Hall of Fame’s roots begin in 2009, when then-athletic director Julie Stroncek — who is now the Edmonds School District athletic director — honored Pittis, a longtime volleyball coach at Edmonds and later EdmondsWoodway High School, at a volleyball game in 2009. “That kind of got the ball rolling,” McGuire said. “Then we were at the point where we really needed to establish some criteria and really do this and have an athletic hall of fame. … We just have a lot of ground to cover, going back and looking at the history of these schools.” McGuire and the selection
group spent time researching what other schools had done to set up a hall of fame, including reaching out to Stanwood and Cascade to see how they had set their respective honors up. Once the group had its criteria, it asked the community for nominations. Several of those, including the 1945 football team, were initially unknown to McGuire and the selection committee. “I was not aware of the greatness of the 1945 Edmonds High School football team,” McGuire said. “They were nominated by a member of the team that still lives in Edmonds. As we started looking into it, they were pretty remarkable.” One member of the 1945 football team is flying up from Arizona for the ceremony. All of the honorees will also be recognized at halftime of the Edmonds-Woodway football game against Shorewood on Friday night. “The biggest thing when you put something like this together is you just want people to show up,” McGuire said. “The

coolest thing about it has been the response to the community. People who are being inducted are flying in from out of town. Different alumni who played for these coaches that just want to be a part of it are coming. (The ceremony) isn’t just an event for Edmonds-Woodway High School — it’s an event for our community. To welcome these people back and to have the opportunity to have them and honor them is just really special and we’re really excited.” Several of the coaches being inducted have already been honored in various coaching and county sports hall of fames. But it was important to McGuire for them to be known in the community where they made such a lasting impact. “I felt very strongly that we should already have this,” McGuire said. “This is a starting point for us. Our committee is super excited about our first group of inductees. This is really about this community. And it’s here. It should be housed here. This is a place to honor these accomplishments.”

Kardashian and some of Odom’s childhood friends were by his side, and former Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant visited him last night, Jackson said. “He’s got tubes in him now but we felt inspired by his presence,” he said. Odom started “throwing up all kinds of stuff” when the 911 operator told them to turn him on his side,
Hof told The Assoicated Press in a phone interview. Nye County, Nevada, Sheriff Sharon Wehrly said investigators sought a warrant to obtain a blood sample to determine if Odom suffered a drug or alcohol overdose. Hof said Odom arrived alone Saturday and “spent time socializing with some of my girls,” but wasn’t seen taking any illegal drugs. “He was polite and reserved, and he told multiple employees that he was there to get some privacy and spend some time relaxing,” he said in a statement. “He largely kept to himself, and at no time did he engage in any drug use in the presence of anyone in the house. He did drink alcohol from our bar, and was taking some herbal sexual enhancement capsules. At his request, he spent Monday evening alone in his suite,” the statement said. “It’s incredibly sad,” Hof told the AP. “He just wanted to get away, have a good time and relax.” He spent most of his 14-year NBA career in Los Angeles with the Lakers and Clippers, becoming a fan favorite and beloved teammate. After seven years with the Lakers, he felt crushed in December 2011 when the club traded him. He played his final NBA game 18 months later, and his last years were a spiral of arrest, estrangement and widespread rumors of drug use.

ELLEN ECKER OGDEN
Ellen Ecker Ogden, gardening author and co-founder of The Cook’s Garden seed catalog, agrees that there are no quick fixes for tasks such as weeding and deadheading. But you can make it more pleasurable. “I’ve learned to put my headphones on and spend a couple hours catching up on my Saturday-morning radio shows” while pulling weeds in her own garden, she says.
Your plants can’t talk ... By Barbara Mahany Chicago Tribune
You would be wrong, so wrong, if you imagined a gaggle of garden gurus shuffling off to the potting shed, whispering, trading reports of the trowel-anderror so often committed by the unwitting, the innocent, the illinformed home gardener. Why, these gardening wizards — the ones whose lifework is making things grow, and grow beautifully — they are gentle folk (deep down, anyway), and they’re hard-pressed (OK, so maybe some are champing at the bit) to cough up a litany of dumb stuff they see and hear from the front lines of AmateurGrower Land, the stumbling ground where plain folk like you and me toil with our trimmers. Here’s where your trusty garden scribe leaps in to do the dirty work: We’ve cajoled a phalanx of in-the-know garden intelligentsia and begged them to please divulge the most egregious botanical blunders they’ve witnessed out in the plots where the amateurs roam. The dirt-stained sins committed over and over.
... so garden pros point out misinformation and common mistakes that drive them crazy
The horticultural high jinks that really should be outlawed. Here’s a litany of homegrown screw-ups, and ways you might right your wrongs: No easy solutions. If there was one dumb idea that made the pros crazy-mad, it was our infatuation with the notion that you can shortcut your way to a glorious grab-’n’-go garden. “There is no secret! No answer in a bottle!” Margaret Roach, a longtime garden writer, A Way to Garden blogger and podcaster, practically shouts from her 2.3acre plot. Her mailbox, every year, is clogged with hundreds of emails asking: “ ‘What’s your secret for getting rid of weeds?’ I write back and say, ‘I knelt down, and I weeded.’ “It’s just like wrinkle cream,” she says. “There’s this allure, this illusion of the instant, no-work solution. Well, here’s the secret: You have to go out and do it, and then you have to do it again. One of the big ah-has of gardening is there is no secret.” Natural? Are you sure? Along the same lines, don’t believe everything that says “all-natural.” Don’t assume that “au naturel”

equals safe — for you or the planet. This corollary, preached most vociferously by Roach and echoed by a handful of others, begs gardeners to read the fine print. If the instructions insist you don safety goggles and hazmat suit — even if butterflies flutter across the label
— chances are there’s “greenwashing” going on, says Roach, explaining that it’s a ploy to make you think it’s earth-friendly. This plays into our “lust for the instant fix,” says Roach. “It’s not just a dumb mistake; it’s a dangerous mistake.” Mulching madness: “There
is no plant on earth, herbaceous or otherwise, that has any genetic knowledge of how to live amid an accumulation of wood,” says plant grower, garden designer and author Roy Diblik of Northwind Perennial Farm in See MISTAKES, Page D2

Squirrel houses are a relic of domesticated pets’ past
S CONESTOGA AUCTION
Wood and tin were used to make this 19th-century squirrel cage. It has stars punched into the tin roof. The cage is 14 inches high, 20 inches wide and sold for $265 at a Conestoga auction in Manheim, Pennsylvania in August 2015.
quirrels were popular pets in past centuries. They were kept in special cages that included a running wheel or other type of exercise machine. Many of the cages were shaped like a house or other type of building. And all had an entrance door, removable tray at the bottom to aid in cleaning the cage and a feeding dish. Some even had material formed into a nest in one corner. They were made of tin and wood. Some paintings of children from the 18th and 19th centuries picture pets that include

a squirrel peering through the bars of the cage. Prices for antique and vintage cages range from $200 up to $1,500. Few are bought to house a wild squirrel today. They are displayed as folk art and historic relics. Q: I got a Mickey Mouse watch for my sixth birthday in 1949. The dial is rectangular and it has a leatherette strap. “Ingersoll” is on the face and “US Time” is stamped on the back. Mickey’s hands and shoes are yellow and the numbers are red. The watch doesn’t work. Would it be wise to have it fixed, or would that lower

the value? A: In 1882, two brothers from Michigan started the Ingersoll Watch Co. in New York City. The company made quality watches for about $1 to $1.50, a day’s wages at the time. Ingersoll declared bankruptcy in 1921 and was bought by the Waterbury Clock Co. which became the Ingersoll-Waterbury Co. In 1933 Ingersoll, in a deal with the Walt Disney Co., made the first watch with Mickey Mouse on the face and three mice chasing each other on a seconds dial. By 1935 more than 2.5 million

Mickey Mouse watches had been sold. Production of the watches stopped from 1942 to ‘45 because of World War II. Ingersoll-Waterbury reorganized in 1944 as part of U.S. Time Corp. (later became Timex), but the company continued to make watches under the Ingersoll brand. Mickey Mouse watches were made again in 1946 with a new rectangular case and a more modern image of Mickey. The name “Ingersoll” appeared on the face next to Mickey until 1946, and U.S. Time was stamped See KOVEL, Page D2

on the back, just like your watch. A watch is always worth more if it’s running than if it isn’t. Mickey Mouse watches like yours sell from $30 for not working all the way to $375 for mint condition with the original box. Q: I have three bentwood chairs made by Fischel that were commissioned in Czechoslovakia for the first big hotel in New York City. The seats have carved inlay. What’s the value of a Fischel chair? A: Bentwood furniture was invented by Michael Thonet, who was granted patents for his invention in England, France and Belgium in 1841. When the patents expired in 1871, David Gabriel Fischel founded D.G. Fischel Sons in Niemes, Czechoslovakia, and began making bentwood furniture. Fischel’s son, Alexander, had worked at Thonet Bros. By 1913, the company also was working in Vienna. The company still was working in the 1920s. Plain chairs sell for about $50-$70, armchairs for twice as much. Q: I have several boxes of Eastman lantern slides

from the studio of Asahel Curtis in Seattle that were passed down to me by my grandfather. They depict scenes of early Alaska and a hunting party that included my grandfather. My late aunt told me the old man in the pictures with my grandfather was President Harding. I also have a glass lantern slide projector with the original light bulb still working. What is the value of these items? A: Asahel Curtis (18741941) started working as a photographer in his brother’s studio in Seattle in 1895. Asahel went to Alaska between 1897 and 1899 and took pictures during the Klondike Gold Rush. He had a falling out with his brother and opened his own studio in Seattle in 1911. President Warren Harding made a trip to Alaska in July 1923 to drive in the golden spike marking the end of the Alaska Railroad. Harding died on Aug. 2 on his way home. We haven’t found any record that he was part of a hunting party while in Alaska. A box of 109 Asahel Curtis glass lantern slides that included scenes in Alaska and Seattle sold recently for $1,547. If the pictures of President Harding on the hunting trip can be authenticated, they could be worth more. The
projector is worth $250 to $300 and should stay with the slides. The slides from Alaska could sell for about $15 to $20 each. Q: I have some ivory jewelry that I got in the 1970s. My daughter told me I can’t sell it because of the laws prohibiting the sale of elephant ivory. What should I do? A: International ivory trade was banned in 1989 by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, an agreement by several member nations. According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, it is not illegal to own or sell ivory imported before Jan. 18, 1990. The date can be established by a bill of sale or other document or even a datable photo picturing the owner with the item. More stringent rules apply in some states. You may have to prove the ivory was harvested before 1973. Tip: The water for your dishwasher should be set at over 120 degrees to help prevent the spread of disease, but it should be under 140 degrees to avoid unnecessary stress and damage on old dishes.

PLANT OF MERIT WHAT: Living Vertical Garden Vertical gardens are excellent ways to make the most of your available space, create a privacy screen or simply assist in defining a space. Whether you grow herbs, fruits, vegetables or ornamental plants, everyone agrees that the toll that gardening takes on the lower back is reduced when plants are elevated. Garden walls are a perfect solution for people who live in condos or apartments, and would like to grow edibles on their balconies. They are available pre-made at local retailers in both wood and man-made materials or can be built as a DIY project at home. LEARN MORE: There are many books on the subject of vertical gardening, but readers may wish to review these two: “Vertical Gardening” by Derek Fell and “Patio Planters” by Jack Pollard.

Burlington, Wisconsin. “We are the only nation on Earth that gardens with wood.” So begins Diblik’s diatribe against the overscattering of wood chips, wherever weeds trespass. Diblik wants gardeners to use mulch from their own plants — shredded leaves or compost from your garden, for example. “Your goal, remember, is to let the plants live in and with their own decaying leaves and stems, never again removing them from the garden,” he writes in his book, “The Know Maintenance Perennial Garden” (Timber Press). And, adds Eric Larson, manager of the Marsh Botanical Garden at Yale University: “There’s a particular circle of hell” for folks who “mulch a big old volcano of wood chips up around their tree trunks.” In fact, 2 to 3 inches of mulch should be spread evenly around the tree instead. When it’s piled against the bark, it traps moisture and creates favorable conditions for decay. A tree’s bark needs to be exposed to the air. Give trees enough growing space. The gardening experts we talked to went berserk at the mention of young trees being squished into pots, or planted hard up

against the house — blatantly ignoring a tree’s raison d’etre: growing. “It’s the single thing I am forever contemplating having printed onto little notes to keep on my dashboard, so I can stick them in people’s mailboxes whenever I drive by,” says Kristin Schleiter, associate vice president for outdoor gardens at the New York Botanical Garden. “Find out how big your tree will someday be,” she instructs. “And don’t plant it one foot from the foundation. Sure, they look cute in those little pots at your front door. But they will grow into mammoth, mammoth trees.” Don’t plant in dribs and drabs. If there’s anything that rankles the garden elite, it’s the beginner’s tendency to buy one of everything on the garden racks. And to do so in a single binge. “Don’t buy a thousand different plants. Buy a larger number of just a few. Think of swoops and drifts and ribbons and rivers,” says landscape architect and author Julie Moir Messervy. And don’t succumb to one-stop shopping, she warns. Resist the urge to march into the garden store in, say, April, and buy enough blooms to fill every square inch in your beds. Instead, go back once a month for your whole first season, and buy what’s blooming monthby-month. That way, you’ll have sweeps of bloom all season long, instead of a one-hit pointillist wonder.

THE WHISTLING GARDENER | Steve Smith
Winter is the time for conifers to shine A
Conifers class Sunnyside Nursery will host a class on conifers at 10 a.m. Oct. 17 at Sunnyside Nursery. For more information, visit www. sunnysidenursery.net.
s much as I hate to admit it, it’s time to jettison the summer color and start thinking about what will look good in the garden all winter long. As the perennials melt away, annuals die and the deciduous trees and shrubs shed their foliage, we are left with one primary group of plants that can give us dependable winter color: needle-leafed evergreens, which botanically speaking, we call conifers. Winter is when conifers come to the center stage of the garden. During the other seasons there are too many distractions to even notice them. But once all
the flowers are gone and the foliage has frozen away the conifers become the dominate elements of the landscape. They become the framework of our borders and beds, as well as help us to remember how the spaces are articulated in our gardens. They are also good candidates for containers. When I first moved to the Northwest I was overwhelmed with the choices of conifers. We have at least 10 to 15 genera and a plethora of varieties and cultivars to choose. Over the past 26 years, I have come to appreciate many types of conifers for
their role in my winter garden. They will never hold the excitement that annuals and perennials provide, but they are reliable in the winter when all my fun stuff is gone. Far too many Northwesterners have the annoying habit of referring to all evergreens as “pines.” I am not sure how this came to be, especially considering that our native forests are dominated not with pines but rather cedars, firs, spruce and hemlocks. On the east side the pine tree is the dominate conifer, but not the case on the west. Because we are part of the Pacific Rim many Asian
species of conifers thrive in our climate and have been introduced over the years. Had it not been for the Ice Age and Continental Shift I suppose many might still be considered native to our area. This is by far the best time of the year to shop for conifers. Many of them have taken on winter colors of plum and bronze instead of their summertime blue and green. There are even a couple of pines that turn a bright yellow in the winter. (Look for Chief Joseph if you like golden foliage, it is a stunner.) This time of year at most garden centers, conifers
will be moved into a prominent location where they can’t be missed. It might be surprising the contrast and drama one can generate with conifers just from the variety of foliage colors and growth habits available. Don’t forget to look for miniature varieties that only grow an inch or less a year, making them well suited for containers, rockeries or miniature gardens. Generally, conifers are relatively undemanding. They love the Northwest’s acidic soils and ample rain fall (just make sure they have good drainage). Some conifers can be pruned or sheared into hedges or
topiary shapes while others need to be allowed to grow naturally. There is a conifer for practically every application you could ever think of from full sun (pines) to full shade (yews and hemlocks)and drought (junipers) to dampness (dawn redwoods).

Lots of married couples sleep separately
DAILY CROSSWORD
Adapted from a recent online discussion. Dear Carolyn: My husband and I are getting ready to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary. We have a three-bedroom house and I want to turn the second room, which currently has a couch and a TV, into a bedroom for me to sleep in. I’ve found that I sleep better when I’m not next to my spouse. The minute he comes to bed I get up for no reason to go in the other room. When I sleep on the couch, not only do I sleep better (more soundly), but I wake up more refreshed and in a better mood. He thinks this is going to completely hurt us if I keep doing this. What are your thoughts? It’s not the mattress or the room that bothers me since I can sleep fine before he comes to bed. He snores quietly where I am the loud one. In the past 14 days I’ve gone on the couch a total of 10 times. Sleeping on the couch is killing my back though. — Separate Rooms Plenty of couples do this — 25 percent, maintains the National Sleep Foundation (https://sleep. org/articles/sleeping-alone) — but for it to work, you both have to be willing to see it as a restful necessity versus emotional slight.
CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT Since your husband is already predisposed to see it as one, I think your next step is for the two of you to talk about what it would take to ease his fears that this will hurt your marriage. You’re taking this away from him, so what can you give him that will balance it out in his mind? Creativity + intimacy (equal sign) not the worst thing. Re: Sleeping Separately: You and your husband need to have a talk (or a few) away from the bedroom, about: Why you wake up as soon as he comes in, why you get up instead of rolling over and going back to sleep, what he fears will happen in your relationship if you sleep separately, any middle ground you can reach (separate beds in your master bedroom, larger bed, changes to routine for each of you, etc.).

CLASSIC PEANUTS
I feel like there is a lot you’re leaving out, but you don’t owe me your truth. You do owe your husband a frank discussion about what’s going on — and yes, if you really just would sleep better in another room, he owes it to at least consider how to make that work. — Anonymous Dear Carolyn: A guy and I seem to have mutual interest in each other but neither is saying it flat-out, and we are just waiting for situations to use as excuses to hang out. Part of me thinks this is fun and easier so I don’t have to deal with potential rejection or even sussing out where we are (I don’t like dating much; I prefer to go from being friends over time to moving into something more). Another part wonders if this is symptomatic of weakness and insecurity for me and/or him. How to tell the difference? — Knowingly Immature You tell over time, in the way each of you behaves in different and especially challenging contexts. Which is to say, there’s no pressing reason not to keep making excuses to hang out. Enjoy.

One day of 2nd-hand smoke won’t kill you Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married 10 years. Half of his family are smokers. Every year, there has been a family gathering at his dad’s house. Since the birth of my first child, smoking has become forbidden in that home. This year, however, the party will be held at the home of another where smoking will be permitted. I can’t handle smoke. It gives me a sore throat and I cough for a week after exposure. Because of my reaction and for the health of my children, I don’t want to attend. (When we get home we have to immediately shower and launder our clothing to get rid of the smell.) My husband is adamant that we SHOULD attend and bring the kids. He was raised around smoking and doesn’t see what the “big deal” is. What can I say or do to convince him not to force me and our children to be exposed to the health hazards of secondhand smoke? Am I being unreasonable because it’s only one night a year? — Hater Of Smoking In West Virginia Dear Hater Of Smoking: I think so. Much as you might like, you can’t raise your children in a bubble. I would hate to see you isolate your children from their aunts, uncles, cousins and any grandparents who are still alive during their oncea-year holiday celebration. If you would prefer not to attend because you can’t stand the smell of the smoke, stay home. But do not prevent your children from knowing the family. Assuming they don’t have health issues, one evening of exposure to cigarette smoke shouldn’t be harmful. Dear Abby: My son, a widower with two boys, ages 6 and 9, just informed RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY me that his 33-year-old girlfriend, “Karen,” is pregnant and due in five months. He started seeing her three months after his wife died, and they have been an item for eight months. Karen has never been married and has no children, so she will become a stepmom and a new mom in a short period of time. Neither my son nor Karen seems to realize how difficult it will be to bring a stepparent into this situation, especially with a new baby on the way. I’m concerned that the boys will be overwhelmed, when they have not yet been able to effectively deal with the death of their mother. My son has told me I need to “get over it, it’s his life and his kids.” Is there anything I can do to help the boys adjust to the new situation? — Wise Lady In The South Dear Wise Lady: Nowhere in your letter have you mentioned that the boys are depressed or acting out. They probably like Karen or the relationship wouldn’t have lasted as long as it has. It appears that in trying to be helpful you may have come across as negative or judgmental. If that’s true, apologize to your son and suggest that if the adjustment becomes difficult for his boys, a family therapist could help. Then cross your fingers and hope it isn’t necessary.

Unlucky Louie had missed his Wednesday game because his wife made him stay home and take care of some minor repairs. “Leaky sink, stuck garage door, squeaky hinge,” Louie grumbled to me. “She stays on my case. If I say I’ll fix it, I will. There’s no need to remind me about it every six months.” When Louie was declarer at today’s four spades, West led the eight of clubs, and East took the ace and returned a club (not bust).

James wins Booker Prize for fiction
Cabal and exonerate Liz. 9 p.m., NBC “Late Night Chef Fight”: Bone-in elk and pigskin are on the second-season premiere’s plate. 10 p.m., FYI From Herald news services
By Jill Lawless LONDON — Marlon James became the first Jamaican winner of the prestigious Booker Prize for fiction Tuesday with a vivid, violent, exuberant and expletive-laden novel based on the attempted assassination of Bob Marley. Michael Wood, chairman of the judging panel, said “A Brief History of Seven Killings” was “the most exciting book on the list” and a novel full of the “sheer pleasure” of language. He said it had been the unanimous choice of the five judges. James was awarded the 50,000 pound ($77,000) prize during a blacktie dinner at London’s medieval Guildhall. The 44-year-old author said he almost gave up writing more than a decade ago when his first novel, “John Crow’s Devil,” was rejected by 70 publishers. He said winning the Booker Prize was “surreal,” and joked that he would spend the prize money on a tailor-made suit or “every William Faulkner novel in hardcover.” He said he hoped his victory would bring “more attention to what’s coming out of Jamaica and the Caribbean, because I think there are some brand-new voices coming out who

In 1914, the Clayton Antitrust Act, which expanded on the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson. In 1917, Dutch dancer Mata Hari, convicted of spying for the Germans, was executed by a French firing squad outside Paris. In 1940, Charles Chaplin’s first all-talking comedy, “The Great Dictator,” a lampoon of Adolf Hitler, opened in New York. In 1945, the former premier of Vichy France, Pierre Laval, was executed for treason. In 1946, Nazi war criminal Hermann Goering fatally poisoned himself hours before he was to have been executed.

are exploring contemporary society, who are exploring what’s beyond politics, what’s beyond colonialism.” “A Brief History of Seven Killings” charts political violence in Jamaica and the spread of crack cocaine in the U.S., and hinges on a 1976 attempt on the life of reggae superstar Marley — identified in the book only as “The Singer.” The story is told in a cacophony of voices — from gangsters to ghosts, drug dealers to CIA agents — and in dialects ranging from American English to Jamaican patois. James, who teaches creative writing at Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota, said he saw the book as “a novel of exile.” He said distance from Jamaica had given him “a certain courage to go into topics like violence and the aftermath of violence and sexuality. ... I think I
needed that distance and I needed that perspective.” Critics have compared the novel to the stream-ofconsciousness novels of William Faulkner and the hyper-violent movies of Quentin Tarantino, while James has cited Charles Dickens as an influence on his multi-character depiction of society. Wood acknowledged that the book’s plentiful sex, violence and swearing might put off buyers who “like to give the Booker winners to their mother to read.” But he said the novel’s verve and humor would win over readers. Wood said although much of the subject matter is grim, “a lot of it is very, very funny.” The Booker guarantees a big boost in sales for the winner, and can transform writers’ careers.

2009, she went from being a modestly successful novelist to a literary superstar. James beat five other authors, including two Americans: Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Tyler, for the multi-generational family saga “A Spool of Blue Thread,” and Hawaiian writer Hanya Yanagihara for “A Little Life,” the story of four male friends, one of whom is a survivor of horrific child abuse. The other finalists were British writer Sunjeev Sahota’s immigrants’ story “The Year of the Runaways”; the fratricide fable “The Fishermen,” by Nigeria’s Chigozie Obioma; and British writer Tom McCarthy’s digital drama “Satin Island.” This is the second year the prize has been open to English-language writers of all nationalities. It had previously been restricted to writers from Britain, Ireland and the Commonwealth of former British colonies. Founded in 1969, the award is officially named the Man Booker Prize after its sponsor, financial services firm Man Group PLC. Jonathan Ruppin, Web editor at British bookstore chain Foyles, said James’ book would “provoke an intense amount of reader curiosity and some fascinating debate.” “This is what the Booker is about — it’s about treating readers to something that the novel hasn’t done before,” he said.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, Oct. 15, the 288th day of 2015. There are 77 days left in the year. Today’s highlight: On Oct. 15, 1915, “The Metamorphosis,” Franz Kafka’s famous absurdist tale about a man named Gregor Samsa who wakes up one morning to discover that he has been transformed into a huge, insect-like creature, was first published in the German literary journal Die Weissen Blaetter (The White Pages). On this date: In 1783, the first manned balloon flight took place in Paris as Jean-Francois Pilatre de Rozier ascended in a basket attached to a tethered Montgolfier hot-air balloon, rising to about 75 feet. In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte, the deposed Emperor of the French, arrived on the Britishruled South Atlantic island of St. Helena, where he spent the last 5

Is your home ready for the winter?
1423892
Fall doesn’t just involve colorful leaves, rainy days and halloween candy; it’s also the time to close the pool, caulk windows, clean gutters and the list goes on. In fact, preparing for fall involves a great many jobs. Here are a few of them. Put away deck furniture and barbecue, unless it’s set up to be used year round. Drain and store garden hoses and turn off any outside taps. Clean gutters and make sure they drain properly. Inspect the roof. Make sure skylights, roof shingles and seals on chimneys or vents are in good condition. Do any necessary repairs. Have your chimney cleaned and your fireplace inspected to prevent fires. Make sure smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working well, and then change the batteries (they should be replaced every year). Examine the foundations and the exterior siding, and fix any cracks to prevent water or air infiltration. Check the slope of the ground and make any modifications to ensure rainwater drains away from your home. Check the sump pump to avoid any unpleasant surprises during heavy rainfall or the spring melt. Check your deck or balcony. Make sure railings and

steps are safe, and replace rotten or damaged planks. Check if the deck is adequately lit and take advantage of the mild weather to replace bulbs in outdoor fixtures. Inspect doors and windows. To keep cold and damp from entering the house, replace damaged seals and weather stripping. Remove window air conditioners. Remove bug screens to prevent condensation and maximize the amount of winter sunlight entering your home. Check all outlets (central vacuum, drier, range hood, etc.) and make sure the vent covers close properly. Clean the filters of your air exchanger and heating system. Vacuum inside any furnace registers. Verify that the heating system is working properly. In fact, fall is the perfect time to have it checked out by a professional. Improve the air quality in your home by vacuuming the baseboard heaters, carpets, curtains and fabriccovered chairs. Test your water if you have a well. Clean the garbage floor catch basin. If it connects with the house plumbing, make sure the automatic valve closes properly.
