Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

A GRIP ON SPORTS It wont be too long now. Soon, Sunday mornings will mean story after college football story, from the Cougars to the Eagles, from the Vandals to the Pirates, Huskies to Ducks. Nope, not too long. But were not there just yet. Read on.

Saturdays in the late summer and fall are taken up by college football. Has been that way my entire life and yours probably as well.

Hunting around here is big too, as is hiking as the temperatures cool and the trees begin to change colors.

But college football is Saturdays king, prince, lord and duke all rolled into one.

Which means Sundays newspapers (and their websites) are filled with college football stories. Play after play, game after game, it's alldissected, discussed and debated.

As it should be.

We arent there just yet. It is still only early August, after all.

But the buildup to the season continues apace. Its fun (and educational) to cruise around the Interweb and read about this defensive lineman or that new coach or another season of glory to come.

We read the stories and then pass them on to you. To paraphrase that insurance commercial that seems to dominate the Ms broadcasts, its what we do.

Speaking of the Ms, the bucketfuls of rain that descended on Kansas City yesterday made it impossible for the teams to play. A doubleheader a doubleheader is scheduled for today, to get the contest in.

The rainstorm may have washed away the game, but even it wasnt powerful enough to wash away the stink of bad news emanating from the Seattle clubhouse.

The elder statesman of the pitching staff (if the word elder is used in the context of most experience with the Ms)is back on the disabled list. Felix Hernandez pitched the other day, felt some pain in his bicep, couldnt shake it and now finds himself on the 10-day.

Mariner fans love Felix. But he has a lot of wear and tear on that once overpowering right arm. Hes an old 31 and is owed some $55 million over the next couple seasons.

Thats money well spent, if you are thinking he deserves some sort of compensation for all those years he was basically the only thing worth watching at Safeco.But if you are thinking about putting together a team in 2018 or 19 that can contend, the money spent on Felix may well be an anchor that slows down the good ship Mariner. Or maybe even pulls it under.

Pitchers age quickly. Thats a given. Everyone knew that even five years ago when the Ms locked Hernandez up for the future. So its no surprise Hernandez is more fragile than he was, that trips to the disabled list are becoming more routine. It happens.

And yet this trip couldnt have come at a worse time. August looks like a make-or-break month for this seasons playoff hopes. For the next week or so, the Ms will be without their King on the hill. Thats tough.

WSU: OK, I admit it. I really like the stuff Theo Lawson is producing out of the Cougars preseason practices. Today he has a story on new defensive line coach Jeff Phelps(pictured). Its good. But the piece on the position battles, with practice notes on the bottom, is not to be missed. Do you agree with this opinion? From odd autographs to young receivers to new coaching responsibilities, there is something for everyone out of Washington States practice. Gabe Marks seems to be impressing the Jets' coaches. Around the Pac-12, there are few places that offer more football coverage than Salt Lake City, where two newspapers present Utah stories. Actually, the same thing happens around Washington, with a special emphasisput on local products helping the Huskies. Or new players stepping up. Or old players with new responsibilities. Almost all of Arizonas defensive position groups are learning by doing. The Arizona State offense didnt do much in Saturdays scrimmage. UCLA will need its offensive line to do a lot if its offense wants to succeed. USC has more on offense than just a good quarterback. Colorado has a new look on defense. Oregon has a new look everywhere.

EWU: Anxiety is a fans best friend. Or at least their constant companion. Jim Allen tries to relieve some of it with this story on the positives in Easterns near future. Former Eagle offensive coordinator Troy Taylor is already making his mark in Utah. Elsewhere in the Big Sky, the beginning of football practices are always accompanied by lists. Cases in point come from Montana and Cal Poly. The coaching change at Idaho State meant a staff shuffle. Montana State wants to improve its pass rush. Every staff has a coach like this.

Indians: Eugene came to Spokane and threw some cold water on the Indians hot start to the second half. Johnathan Curley has the game story from last nights 11-8 Emeralds win while Whitney Ogden adds more about a couple of longtime teammates. Around the Northwest League, Hillsboro shut out Vancouver and Everett out-slugged Salem-Keizer.

Chiefs: Kailer Yamamotos summer vacation has been productive, playing for Team USA.

Preps: Speaking of summer vacations, longtime local track coach Linda Lanker had a fun one with the U.S. National Team. Greg Lee has more in this feature. Former Coeur dAlene High star Casey Stangel picked up a Pac-12 postgraduate scholarship.

Mariners: The rainout allowed Ryan Divish to examine what might be ahead the next couple weeks for Jerry Dipoto. Former Gonzaga star Marco Gonzales will take Hernandezs spot on the roster.

Seahawks: There is still fallout descending from Frank Clarks practice punch. Hazing isnt supposed to happen any more. But the rookies still get some grief. Kenny Easley was inducted in the Hall of Fame yesterday. His speech didnt touch on his Seahawk career much. Jon Ryan has enjoyed his first season as a baseball owner, even if his aspirations are for something more. Doug Baldwin has something to say. He always does.

Sounders: Seattle dominated Minnesota. With Clint Dempsey scoring twice and Jordan Morris once, the Sounders won 4-0. Real Salt Lake dominated Houston. But the match ended in a scoreless draw.

A quick congratulations to my son Jack and his wife Nichol. It is their one-year anniversary. I cant tell you how proud I was that day last August as they stood together and pledged their love. I still am. Until later

Long Lasting, Quality Floorings in Salt Lake City Offered by Euro Hardwood Flooring - Digital Journal

Radnor >> When Cathy Agnew heard a story on WHYY about musicians playing on front porches in West Philadelphia it resonated with her. She remembered a next door neighbor, Carol Inman, playing on her front porch in Ardmore with musician friends when home from Indiana University every summer.

I remembered how beautiful it sounded, said Agnew, who was sitting on her own porch in Wayne when she spoke with a reporter recently. We just loved it when they would playIt was such a beautiful memory.

The idea for musicians playing on porches for the community or PorchFests, began in 2006 in Ithaca, N.Y. and has since spread. Agnew is spearheading the First Annual South Wayne PorchFest set for Sept. 9 from noon to 5 p.m. With all the porches in Wayne, Agnew believed the town was a perfect location for PorchFest.

Joining with friends and neighbors Susan Stern and Sue Metzger, who set up the website, Agnew began organizing. She said everyone she approached about lending their porch was very enthusiastic.

She obtained a permit from Radnor Township and praised Commissioner Luke Clark and Radnor Police Deputy Superintendent Chris Flanagan who she said were extremely helpful. Charlotte Higgins designed the logo.

The South Wayne PorchFest musicians will play on 17 porches along St. Davids and Windermere avenues. Portions of those streets will be closed to allow families to walk safely from porch to porch. Maps will also be provided once scheduling for the various bands is completed, said Agnew. The South Wayne PorchFest will be a family-friendly environment, she said.

I think its an interesting concept for Wayne, said singer Jackie Covatta, who will participate with guitarist Joe DiStefano. Together they are the group JC Lauren. I think it will go over really well. The Wayne townspeople will really enjoy that and the businesses will benefit. I think it will be a good thing.

Covatta characterized her style as soulful, blues with a soft rock edge.

A King of Prussia resident, Covatta has been performing for about 20 years and has written more than 40 songs. Shes been performing with DiStefano for two years.

Singer John McKee is also looking forward to PorchFest.

A pastry chef who lives in Bryn Mawr, he moved to the area about seven years ago with his partner because the cost of living in the San Francisco area had become unaffordable.

McKee sings songs from the American canon, mostly standards from Sinatra, Michael Buble and Nat King Cole.

Im looking forward to it, said McKee about PorchFest. He has sung at weddings and at a nursing facility but also started going to open mic events at local clubs to perform and met Agnew, who was scouting for talent for the PorchFest. McKee will also perform at the Taste of Berwyn on Sept. 17.

Folk musician, Jerry Krantman, will play guitar and sing during PorchFest.

My range of folk music is unconventional, he said. It includes traditional songs as well as songs from the 20s, 30s, and 40s. These include political songs and humorous songs. I pride myself in having a far-reaching set of surprising acoustic tunes, many that youve never heard, some right on the edge of memory, some destined to become new favorites. Ive played music since I was a child, and played the guitar since what we then called junior high school.

Krantman grew up in Harrisburg and now lives in Plymouth Meeting. A Temple University graduate, hes lived in New Mexico and Georgia, and spent 30 years living in northern California. Hes worked as a family therapist, a computer consultant, and is currently a college instructor.

I always enjoy playing to a receptive audience, wherever they might be, said Krantman. Well see whether thats what actually happens. I am a big fan of building community, though, so I hope that this will bring people together with their neighbors, perhaps without the use of electronics.

PorchFest will also feature a porch for Rising Stars, said Agnew. These performers are teenage musicians from area high schools. The Archbishop Carroll High School Pep Band and the Radnor High School Pep Band are slated to play, too, she said.

Agnew also had help from the Eastern University music department. Sara Herman, office manager, and Sarah Shulman, a senior music education major, gave advice on how far apart the porches with performers should be sited and whether bushes and trees would dampen the sounds.

Agnew recommends that people bring blankets or lawn chairs. They can also picnic or walk into Wayne for restaurant fare. Each band will perform for about 45 minutes. St. Katharines parish will allow the PorchFest patrons to use their restrooms, said Agnew. The event is free and the performers are also volunteering their time, she said.

This is a low budget endeavor, said Agnew, a lawyer who is working from home in order to focus on writing her first novel, tentatively titled The Gravity of Regret. She described it as literary noir. Her husband, Brad Mortensen, is also an attorney at Kennedys CMK. The couple has two grown children, Anne Mortensen-Agnew, 26, a writer who lives in Los Angeles, and Colin Mortensen-Agnew, 22, a student at the University of Alabama.
