Racial bias lawsuit denied A judge didn’t agree that three Everett police officers were denied promotions and subjected to hostile conditions. By Diana Hefley and Rikki King Herald Writers
EVERETT — A federal judge has tossed out a lawsuit filed against Everett by three police officers who alleged they were
denied promotions based on their race and subjected to a hostile work environment when they complained. U.S. District Court Judge Richard Jones issued his decision earlier this month. The city argued that the officers failed to
provide enough evidence to support their claims and to move forward with a trial. “There is not a shred of evidence that the City of Everett has ever treated any of the plaintiffs differently because of their race. They weren’t. Instead, what is happening here is that the plaintiffs are disappointed that they did not receive promotions they sought,” the city’s attorney, James
Sanders, wrote in court papers. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Sgt. Manuel Garcia, former Sgt. Richard Wolfington and officer Sherman Mah. Garcia is the first Hispanic and bilingual officer in the city. He started in 1988 and became a sergeant in 2002. Mah is Chinese-American and has been See LAWSUIT, Page A8

EVERETT — More coal, less oil. That’s what a group of volunteers saw last week when they kept a round-the-clock vigil on the railroad tracks running through Snohomish County. They counted 29 coal trains and 12 crude-oil trains. That compares to 24 coal trains and 16 crude-oil trains last year.
The new figures are in line with the number of oil-train shipments that BNSF Railway has reported to the state. This was the second straight year that Snohomish County Train Watch has conducted the census. “There’s definitely a role for citizen oversight, for citizens auditing,” said Dean Smith, an Everett retiree who founded the group.

OLYMPIA — With embattled state Auditor Troy Kelley preparing for an extended leave, a leading critic in the Legislature said Wednesday there may be no viable avenues to make Kelly resign instead. Kelley is to begin an unpaid leave of absence Monday to fight federal charges including tax evasion and lying to investigators probing his past private business practices. Kelley, a first-term Democrat, denies wrongdoing and vows to resume his duties in the future. He’s ignored repeated calls for him to resign from across the political spectrum, most often from Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee and Republican state Sen. Mark Miloscia, who lost to Kelley in the 2012 auditor’s election. Milsocia lamented that Kelley’s upcoming departure may suck the wind of efforts to force him from office. “I wish there was something else that we could do but I don’t see any major pressure points left,” Miloscia said. “He hasn’t been listening to anybody at all. He’s tone deaf.” But state Republican Party Chairwoman Susan Hutchison sought to ratchet up pressure on Inslee to force Kelley’s hand. In a statement she accused Kelley of “abandoning” his job and called for the governor to appoint a replacement. Hutchison also said in a statement that the Legislature should pass a bill from two Republican representatives that would deem an elected office to be vacant if the office-holder goes on leave for a reason other than health or military duty. Meanwhile Wednesday, the woman picked by Kelley to run the office in his absence said the “distraction” surrounding her boss isn’t impeding the work of employees.

‘Gravity,’ on a big screen
Associated Press
38-51, Powerball 6.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A Russian supply capsule that went into an uncontrollable spin after launch was declared a total loss Wednesday, but astronauts at the International Space Station said they will get by without the delivery of fresh food, water, clothes and equipment. “We should be OK,” NASA astronaut Scott Kelly assured The Associated Press. “I think we’re going to be in good shape.” Kelly and Russian Mikhail Kornienko, the space station’s one-year crew members, told the AP during an interview that flight controllers had given
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Space station astronauts have finally hit the big time, at least when it comes to the big screen. NASA astronaut Scott Kelly told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he and the rest of the crew are enjoying the 65-inch projection screen that was delivered to the International Space Station nearly two weeks ago. The screen, rolled up for compact storup trying to command the cargo carrier. NASA and the Russian Space Agency later confirmed the news.
age, flew up on a SpaceX Dragon capsule. A month into a yearlong mission, Kelly said the screen is useful for work as well as entertainment. Last weekend, for instance, the crew used it to watch the 2013 space thriller “Gravity.” Until the projection screen arrived, astronauts huddled around laptops for video conferences, training sessions and movies.

Train watchers expected the crude-oil count to stay level, not to decline, Smith said. They hope to perform another tally in about three months to see if the pattern holds. As recently as 2011, there were no oil trains passing through this area at all. That changed with the shale-oil boom in North Dakota. Washington attracts many of those shipments as the fifth-largest refining state in the United States. Crude-oil trains travel through Snohomish County to reach refineries in Skagit and Whatcom counties. Safety concerns about crude oil have raised public safety worries in the wake of fiery, sometimes deadly, explosions involving tank cars. That includes a July 2013 derailment that killed 47 people in a small Quebec town, plus several more this year. Activists also object to coal-by-rail shipments because of pollution from burning coal and the potential environmental

“It can’t just FEEL like home, it has to BE home.”
damage from coal-train derailments. Crude-oil shipments have attracted intense attention from state and federal lawmakers. The Legislature last Friday approved a bill designed to improve the safety around oil shipments through Washington. It requires advance notice to emergency responders when oil-train shipments are expected. The idea is to improve readiness for potential accidents. The bill also would impose a per-barrel tax to help pay for safety and planning measures. As is, that tax is only imposed on oil that arrives by ship. “We’re still studying the new language that came in, but at the end of the day, we’re all committed to do what’s in the best interest of the state and to running the safest operation possible,” said Courtney Wallace, a BNSF spokeswoman. A bill that Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., introduced in March would establish new rules to lessen the volatility of crude oil shipped by tank cars. It also would bring an immediate halt the use of older tank cars known as DOT-111s that pose a higher risk for explosion. A companion bill is working its way through the U.S. House. The U.S. Department of Transportation is expected to come out with new rules for rail tank car standards as early as Friday. That’s likely to include a timetable for phasing out the DOT-111 cars and even some versions of newer tank-car designs known as CPC-1232s. The agency also is looking at speedlimit restrictions for crude shipments through urban areas.
IAN TERRY / THE HERALD
A passenger train rolls past the back of businesses located on Hewitt Avenue near Bond Street in Everett on April 21. Groups like Snohomish County Train Watch have raised concerns about the proximity of trains carrying crude oil through urban areas such as Everett.
Separately, the U.S. departments of Energy and Transportation are planning a two-year study into how the chemical properties of crude oil affect its combustibility during rail accidents. BNSF says that DOT111s account for about 20 percent of the tank cars in use on its tracks throughout North America. Rail customers, such as oil companies and refineries, own the tank cars. Smith, from the train watch group, estimated that about one-third of the tank cars he saw were the older DOT-111 models. This year’s count ran from April 19 to 25. About 30 volunteers participated. Their findings, published Tuesday on the group’s website, correspond with the eight to 12 crude-oil shipments of 1 million gallons or more that BNSF Railway reported to the state in September. The U.S. Department of Transportation in June

said Kelly, one month into a yearlong mission, which will be a record for NASA. He added: “The important thing is hardware can be replaced.” Supplying the space station is mostly handled by the United States and Russia. NASA hired SpaceX and Orbital Sciences Corp. to provide regular shipments, once the shuttle program ended in 2011. SpaceX plans to send up a load of supplies in June; its most recent shipment arrived less than two weeks ago. NASA officials want a six-month supply of food on the space station, but because of the Orbital Sciences accident, the reserves are down a month or so.

Tuesday, following launch from Kazakhstan. The head of Roscosmos, Russia’s space agency, Igor Komarov, cited a lack of pressure in the main block of the propulsion system in the decision to abort the mission. Kelly said the craft will fall out of orbit and re-enter the atmosphere. Russian reports indicated a re-entry possibly next week. The capsule is expected to burn up harmlessly in the atmosphere, as is the case for all Progress carriers, once they have delivered their shipments and are filled with trash. “The program plans for these kinds of things to happen. They’re very unfortunate when they do,”
2014 ordered railroads to start providing states with information about crudeoil shipments of 1 million or more gallons. Washington makes that information public through the state Military Department. Each oil train pulls up to 100 cars carrying a total of 3 million gallons of oil. The federal order requires railroads to update oil shipment figures if they increase or decrease by 25 percent or more. Last weekend in Everett, Smith and other volunteers met in neighborhoods near the tracks to practice an evacuation drill simulating an escape from an exploding oil train. Turnout was small. The train watch group has been trying to work with Everett’s emergency management and fire officials to prepare for a derailment. They’d like to see emergency-preparedness training focus more on evacuation drills. They would like to see the city work with Naval Station

Council rejects morgue plan By Noah Haglund Herald Writer
EVERETT — Most of the Snohomish County Council on Wednesday rejected a restructuring plan for the county morgue, leaving the management-challenged office without clear leadership.
Dan Christman has been running the Medical Examiner’s Office as its deputy director since being hired in September. Now, he’s out of a job come Friday. The former Bothell police sergeant earlier this week had urged the council to formalize an arrangement that would keep him in charge as a nonphysician
director. The council balked at his plan because it conflicts with state law, which requires the office be led by a doctor who specializes in forensic pathology. Two back-up proposals that Christman suggested didn’t appeal to most council members either. “None of the options he
presented were really viable,” County Council Chairman Dave Somers said after the meeting. “We have a structure now where a medical examiner can delegate responsibilities to an operations manager.” By a 2-3 vote, the council failed See PLAN, Page A4

Darrington Mayor Dan Rankin helps plant a cedar on the south side of Highway 530 at the Oso mudslide site during a public ceremony Sept. 27 to commemorate the reopening of the stretch of Highway 530 affected by the slide.
‘A reflection of my community’ Darrington Mayor Dan Rankin flattered, humbled by award By Kari Bray Herald Writer
DARRINGTON — The mayor here is preparing for a White House visit to accept a national award for leadership after the deadly Oso mudslide. Meanwhile, a DarringtonArlington partnership aimed at enlivening local business development has won the towns $50,000 and a spot in the quarterfinals of a three-year competition with a $3 million grand prize.
The U.S. Small Business Administration is recognizing Darrington Mayor Dan Rankin with one of three national Phoenix Awards for “selflessness, ingenuity and tenacity in the aftermath of disaster.” Rankin is receiving the organization’s award for Outstanding Contributions to Disaster Recovery by a Public Official. He became an anchor for his community after the March 2014 mudslide that killed 43 people and isolated Darrington with a buried state
highway and shredded communication lines, according to a Small Business Association news release. The award is a flattering and humbling surprise, Rankin said. The many people who helped after the slide did so without thinking twice or expecting recognition, he said. “It’s not just a reflection of myself, it’s a reflection of my community and how we all reacted in the face of a disaster,” Rankin said. “Being a small community, we rely on each
other and trust each other, and in those initial days that trust we have for each other and that entrepreneurial spirit helped us make the most with the resources we had. Those resources had to be enough.” Rankin said he saw people come together with compassion and humanity to help cope with devastation. “It was a heartbreaking and phenomenal time,” he said. “You never want to be there.

MUKILTEO — The abandoned 25-foot sailboat at Lighthouse Park has gotten an extended staycation. The boat was scheduled to be towed to the Port of Everett early Wednesday morning. Plans abruptly changed when a recovery team found an eight-inch crack in the hull. “Once they got it into the water, it flooded right away,” Mukilteo Mayor Jennifer Gregerson said. “It’s sitting next to the boat launch right now, under water.” The revised plan calls for hauling the boat out of the water Thursday morning. Barring any other problems, the boat will be refloated starting at 4 a.m. If needed, lift bags will be attached below the boat to act like balloons and keep it afloat, she said. The boat will be towed south to the Port of Edmonds because it can be more quickly stored in dry dock there, she said. The change in plans will add to the cost of moving the boat, but Gregerson said she doesn’t yet know by how much. The cost of moving the boat initially was estimated at $5,240, plus city staff time. The Department of Natural Resources is expected to pay 90 percent of the costs of the boat’s removal. The state agency has disposed of more than 500 abandoned boats since 2006 through its Derelict Vessel Removal Program. The sailboat has been attracting crowds at Lighthouse Park since last week. It was tied up at the end of boat launch April 20, came loose the following day and ended up on the beach. The boat previously had been moored in the Port of Everett, but its owner had a number of run-ins with the port, according to spokeswoman Lisa Lefeber. On April 18, the port told the owner that the boat would not be allowed on port property. The following Monday, the port’s security reported that the vessel had been untied and was drifting south down the Snohomish River channel.
Possible pay raise for lawmakers irritates teachers S
front porch
tate lawmakers are up for a raise in the next two years. It looks like it will be a lot larger than what they’re considering giving thousands of state workers and public school teachers. On May 13, the Washington Citizens’ Commission on Salaries for Elected Officials is set to vote to give lawmakers an 11 percent raise. That would be more than double the percentage increase that those same legislators are considering for state workers and teachers. Teachers know this and are incensed about it.

of the Capitol. Inslee acknowledged that it has been six years since the state provided a cost-of-living adjustment for teachers. When he pledged to fight to secure a “real COLA” of 4.8 percent in the next budget, he was briefly drowned out by a chant of “12 percent, 12 percent” — a slightly off reference to the pending double-digit pay hike for lawmakers. (Inslee, by the way, stands to get a 4 percent raise). To be fair lawmakers aren’t involved in the process of setting their own pay. That’s the role of the commission, an independent

Lawmaker facing ethics violations to resign By Rachel La Corte Associated Press
OLYMPIA — A state representative is resigning this week following allegations of falsified travel expense forms, according to a statement issued Wednesday by the House chief clerk. Rep. Susan Fagan resigning her seat effective

to support any version of the restructuring plan. On paper, that leaves the Medical Examiner’s Office’s doctors, death investigators, autopsy techs and administrative staff under the chief medical examiner. Nobody holds that job right now. In a familiar split, Somers voted with councilmen Terry Ryan and Ken Klein against changing the office. Council members Stephanie Wright and Brian Sullivan supported a compromise that would have kept Christman in charge of death investigations and administration, while a doctor would oversee autopsies and other medical aspects of the job. Somers said the compromise would be allowed
Friday, according to a written statement issued by House Clerk Barbara Baker. Fagan was elected to the chamber in a special election in 2009, and she was re-elected in 2012. A home number for Fagan rang unanswered Wednesday, but in a prepared statement released to the Spokesman-Review
in Spokane, Fagan said she was resigning “with a sad heart.” “I should have been more precise with my records, and I did not give my reimbursement reports the respect and attention they deserve. That is my fault,” she wrote. “At no point did I try to derive personal gain from expense reimbursements.”
Baker said that she was presented with evidence last fall that there were discrepancies in Fagan’s travel reimbursement forms. In meetings between House leadership and Fagan, the Pullman Republican denied wrongdoing and cited bookkeeping errors but said she would pay back overpayments, Baker wrote.
under state law and county code, but doubted it would work. He compared it to having two chiefs running the same police department. The vote on the Medical Examiner’s Office was the latest example of how fractious county government 1297104 has become. County Executive John Lovick’s administration hired Christman and said he was succeeding in his mission. Lovick on Wednesday rebuked the council members who voted against the restructuring plan, calling their decision “a total leadership failure.” Lovick said his office is focused on planning for the future, while “the council majority is providing no direction on the next steps for the Medical Examiner’s Office.” “For years and years, prior to my arrival, the Medical Examiner’s Office was plagued by problems
— many of them due to a structure that simply didn’t work,” Lovick said in a statement. The executive promised his administration .... would guide the office until finding a doctor with the right forensic and people skills to lead it. That search could take up to a year, he said. Christman had concluded that the office’s existing structure puts an unfair burden on the medical examiner to oversee autopsies, deathscene investigations and administration. The chief medical examiner is frequently called upon to give court testimony and communicate with other county departments. That makes workdays of 12 or more hours routine, he said. Christman said he isn’t angry about his ouster. “My concern is not so much me, but my employees out here,” he said. “There’s got to be a
message of hope for them.” The staff includes several people with master’s degrees in the sciences.

Later that year, they responded to the mass shooting at Marysville Pilchuck High School. “These people do a job that very few people would want to do,” Christman said. Employee morale suffered under the leadership of the office’s previous medical examiner, Dr. Norman Thiersch, who resigned in September. Thiersch had been named as a defendant in two employee lawsuits that the county settled. The forensic parts of Thiersch’s job are now being done on a temporary basis by Dr. Daniel Selove. The associate medical examiner is Dr. Stanley Adams.
Under the proposal, Inslee would make $173,617 in 2016, up from $166,891 today, and Chief Justice Barbara Madsen’s earnings would climb from $172,531 to $185,661. All these raises are not set in stone. On May 13, commissioners will hold a final public hearing before adopting a new wage chart for the legislative, executive and judicial branches. It must be filed with the Secretary of State by June 1 and the
new salaries would go up Sept. 1. But they can be blocked by referendum. One would need to collect and turn in at least 123,186 valid signatures of registered voters before Sept. 1. If successful, the issue could be on the ballot this fall. Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet. com.

are suggesting 4 percent increases for the governor, eight other statewide elected office-holders and every judge from district court up to the Supreme Court. For some jobs, the panel wants to add in a little more such as an extra 8 percent for the state treasurer and 3.5 percent for the chief justice of the Supreme Court.

teachers in the union. The Marysville Marysville School District has approximately 11,000 teachers to students. protest Friday Everett: Guilty MARYSVILLE — Teachers in the Marysville School District will walk off the job Friday in protest of the Legislature failing to address class sizes, among other issues. Classes will be canceled district-wide. Fridays are normally considered professional development days in the district, with shorter class schedules. “Initiative 1351 was passed by voters and seems to be ignored or at least not implemented in any of the budget proposals,” said Randy Davis, president of the Marysville Education Association, referring to the 2014 initiative mandating reduced class sizes. Legislators are considering proposals that would reduce class sizes for kindergartners through third grade, but might not for upper grades. “Teachers just feel like we’re not getting the attention, we feel like we’re getting finger-pointing” from the Legislature, Davis said. Teachers will be demonstrating at both north and south ends of State Street on Friday. There are about 670
plea in homicide
A teenager admitted Wednesday that he shot an Everett man to death during a robbery at the victim’s W. Casino Road apartment earlier this year. Ali Ramadhan, 19, faces at least 20 years in prison when he is sentenced in July. Ramadhan, who calls himself “Ali Baghdad,” pleaded guilty Wednesday in Snohomish County Superior Court to firstdegree murder for the Jan. 21 shooting. Jeffrey Wehl, 57, died three days after his neighbor found him lying in his kitchen, bleeding from a gunshot wound to the head. Prosecutors alleged that Ramadhan went to the apartment to rob Wehl, who was known to wear and own expensive jewelry. Kyelee Milner, 18, was with Ramadhan and allegedly told police she went to the apartment to engage in prostitution with the victim. She remains charged with first-degree murder.

He grew up in Everett and graduated from Everett High School in 1949. L e e e n l i s te d i n t h e A i r Force and served his country from 1950–1953. Following his discharge, he attended Everett Community College under the GI Bill and soon became an electrician with Scott Paper Company (Kimberly Clark) where he worked for 37 years. Lee was an amazing all round craftsman who took great pride in everything he did: plumbing, carpentr y, electrical, and mechanical, he mastered them all. He honed his skills on the unending stream of projects at his home and the family cabin located along the Pilchuck River which he built from salvaged lumber. He could literally fix or build anything and as a result he was of ten the first person fa m i l y a n d f r i e n d s wo u l d contact for home projects and repair needs, and no m a t te r h ow b u s y h e m ay h av e b e e n w i t h h i s o w n projects, he always found the time to help others. Lee, or “Poppy” as he was affectionately referred to by his grandchildren, was an avid skier. Throughout most of his life, skiing served as an ideal counterbalance to his busy schedule, weekend ski getaways with family and annual ski trips that took both he and his friends to mountain peaks across the United States and eventually, the Swiss Alps, we r e a l way s a s o u rc e o f great enjoyment and adventure. Lee is survived by his wife of 60 years, Pat; son, Rick and wife, Barb, of Seattle, Wash.; daughter, Vicki of Everett, Wash.; son, Dennis and fiancée, Tina, of Granite Falls, Wash.; brother, Ar t and wife, Pat, of Everett; sister-in-law and brother-inlaw, Berlene and Dick, of Everett. Lee was the beloved Poppy of three grandc h i l d r e n : W h i t n ey, D av i d , and Eric. The family would like to thank Dr. Harold Dash who provided Lee with compassionate, state-of-the-art c a r e ove r t h e ye a r s , a n d most recently, Providence Hospice and Home Care, Christina Audet (caregiver), and grandson, Eric for his dependability, devotion, and loving care.

Curtis Charles Deane
Bill Daily, 91, of Camano Island, Wash. died peacefully at home on April 21, 2015, with family by his side. Bill was born on April 10, 1924, in Chetek, Wisconsin, one of five children to Sidney and Maude Mae Daily. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Shirley Daily, in 2013. His parents; brothers, Raymond, Sidney, s i s te r, C h a r l o t te a n d nephew, Jim LaLone, also preceded him. He is survived by his daughter, Susan Galde, and h i s s o n , To m Tw e d e (Roxanne); His grandchildren, the twinkle in his eyes, Chris Galde (Kim), Tim Galde (Farrah), Jared Galde (Bet) and Jenna Stivers (Derek), Liberty (Matt) and Jesse; great-grandchildren, Tanner, Kody, Mckinley, Kiki, K i a n , Ke n n e d y, M a d i s o n , Taylor, Liam and Kasen; and h i s b rot h e r, Ro b e r t D a i l y (Erika). He was an Uncle to many, a Friend to whomever gave a good handshake and a smile. Dad was a WWII Veteran, along with two of his brothers, all serving in the US Navy. He was very proud of that, yet rarely spoke of the turmoil they endured, which was very much a part of our Greatest Generation. He retired from the City of Everett in 1982 as the head of the Paint Dept. He also took pride in his position and the job that he and his crew did. He invented the first paint-striping machine that the city ever had, showcasing it to other cities and states. It was always something he spoke of in later years too, happy that he was able to save the city some money not only in the cost of the machine, but also saving man hours of labor! Mom and Dad enjoyed just about everything. Their home was filled with love, laughter and happiness. They loved to go boating, travel and just have fun with others. Many hours and years were spent watching their grandchildren’s’ sporting and s c h o o l eve n t s . H e wa s a p r a n k s te r a n d t h ey b o t h l ove d a g o o d j o ke . E ve n though he did not graduate high school, he was a wealth of information. He could fix, repair or construct anything, no matter what the material he was working with. If you needed something, he either would be there for you, build it for you or fix it. He will be missed so much, yet we are so blessed to have had him in our lives. Thank you to Providence Hospice for helping us to keep him home this past month. Thank you to Farrah, B et, Cathy and Robi n for your hours of care in these past few months. A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, May 4, 2015 at Noon, at Floral Hills Cemetery Chapel in Lynnwood, WA . Reception immediately following. Donations may be made to Providence Hospice or the Stanwood American Legion, Post 92 in his memory.

Diane Louise Solie Diane Louise Solie passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 22, 2015 at the age of 75, surrounded by her loving family. Diane appreciated the simple pleasures of life. She enjoyed her many adventures shared with the love of her life, Jerr y. The beautiful sunsets over the Olympics, whale watching from her deck, fishing, crabbing, trips with Jerry on their boat, and family time at Lake Riley filled her with joy. Diane was born October 11, 1939, in Medford, Ore., to Florello and Viola Pierson. Shortly thereafter, the family m ove d to E ve r e t t , Wa s h .

Aid arriving in remote Nepal Quake-ravaged villages see first help; exodus from Kathmandu By Julie Makinen and Molly Hennessy-Fiske Los Angeles Times
KATHMANDU, Nepal — Hope of finding survivors in rubble was fading fast Wednesday as the death toll from last weekend’s earthquake in Nepal surpassed 5,200. But after days of complaints about the shortage of aid, a somewhat stronger presence of foreign search and rescue teams and assistance convoys was evident in the capital and outlying districts. A logjam of airplane traffic and passengers began to clear at Kathmandu’s airport, where authorities said they had picked up 1.5 tons of trash from the overrun facility. Banks, restaurants and even souvenir shops began to reopen in the capital. Thousands of people, though, continued to look for ways out of the Kathmandu Valley, hitching rides on crowded buses and taxis. Many were returning home to remote villages to assess the impact of the disaster. State-run Radio Nepal said 200,000 people had already left the valley as of late Tuesday and another 200,000 may leave in the coming days. That exodus could crimp the ability of private businesses and government offices to function. Government authorities ordered civil servants to return to work Thursday, though schools and many other institutions remained closed indefinitely. Indian, Russian, French, Chinese and Nepali search

A woman named Ramaya pleads for food after an aid helicopter lands Wednesday at the mountain village of Gumda, in the Gorkha District of Nepal, near the epicenter of the massive earthquake.
and rescue teams were working across the capital, trying to find survivors amid collapsed buildings. But four days after the magnitude 7.8 quake, chances of finding anyone alive were slim. Still, there was at least one miraculous rescue: More than three days after the quake, a French team pulled a 27-yearold man from a collapsed three-story hotel. “I had some hope but by yesterday I’d given up. My nails went all white and my lips cracked ... I was sure no one was coming for me. I was certain I was going to die,” Rishi Khanal told The Associated Press from his hospital bed. By late Wednesday, the death toll in Nepal had reached 5,238 with more than 10,000 injured, according to the latest government figures. Scores more were killed in neighboring India and
China’s Tibet region. The disaster has affected more than 8 million people in Nepal — nearly a quarter of the population — and 1.4 million are in immediate need of food assistance, according to the United Nations. Tempers flared Wednesday as Prime Minister Sushil Koirala toured Basantapur, one of the worst-hit areas in Katmandu. Some residents were furious that it had taken him five days to visit, the local Kantipur publication reported. The leader of Nepal’s Red Cross agreed with critics that the response was not ideal. “The total operation is inefficient,” said Dev Ratna Dhakhwa, the agency’s secretary-general, as he surveyed the emergency response tent headquarters in the capital, where volunteers were checking in from around the world
before deploying. “There are many places we have not even been able to reach because it is so remote,” he said, such as northern Gorkha, near the epicenter. “People are really suffering there.” The Nepalese government said it had dispatched eight helicopters to the region northwest of Kathmandu, to rescue those most severely wounded. But the problem is not only in isolated villages, some of them cut off by landslides. The capital was in what Dhakhwa called the “panic phase” of recovery, with about 700,000 people displaced. “We have nearly a quartermillion people still sleeping in the streets,” Dhakhwa said. That has created overwhelming demand for tarps that the country’s Red Cross can’t meet, even with more than $5 million in emergency aid from the International Committee of the Red Cross. Dhakhwa said his agency is trying to obtain 100,000 tarps, which will be rationed: one for every two families, or about 20 people. The Red Cross also has distributed water filtration kits to serve about 20,000 people in anticipation of the next phase of the recovery, when temporary camps become more permanent installations for those whose homes have been destroyed. “Sanitation has become a big problem, because people are in the streets and not in a position to get the right kind of toilet,” Dhakhwa said.
Baltimore slowly finding normalcy By Timothy M. Phelps and Matt Pearce Tribune Washington Bureau
BALTIMORE — Protests continued in Baltimore and elsewhere Wednesday as this riot-torn city reopened schools and lurched toward normality, while residents waited to learn how a young black man’s spine was severed while in police custody. More than 1,000 peaceful marchers streamed from Pennsylvania Station to City Hall to protest the death of Freddie Gray, 25, who died April 19, a week after his arrest. Officials have confirmed that he died of a severed spine, and his family says his voice box was crushed and his neck snapped. Also Wednesday, the Baltimore Orioles completed a surreal baseball game in an empty stadium that had been closed for security reasons, defeating the Chicago White Sox, 8-2. Games on Monday and Tuesday were postponed until May. By evening, Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts said 18 people had been arrested, but he was not sure what the causes were. Thousands of police and

Protestors march after a rally at City Hall in Baltimore on Wednesday.
National Guard troops monitored the streets before the 10 p.m. curfew took effect. The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra gave a free concert outside Baltimore’s Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, about 1½ miles from the worst of the riotscarred areas, to support the ravaged community. In the lively waterfront neighborhood of Fells Point, many bar owners were boarding up windows. Owners were bracing for violence despite officials’ successful efforts Tuesday night to avoid the looting and arson that broke out Monday, hours after
Gray’s funeral. On Friday, Baltimore police will turn over the findings of their investigation of Gray’s death to the state attorney’s office, which will decide whether to charge the police officers involved with his arrest and transport to police headquarters. A large protest is planned for Saturday. The jammed court system presented a new problem, as 101 of more than 230 people arrested during Monday’s unrest were released without charges after officials failed to formally charge them within 48 hours, according to the public
defender’s office. Overwhelmed police officials had struggled to corral the arresting officers and get them to file the proper charging documents, Baltimore Police Capt. Eric Kowalczyk said during a Wednesday afternoon news conference. The suspects could still be charged later, he said. Earlier in the day, city public defender Paul B. DeWolfe had protested what he said was the unlawful suspension by Republican Gov. Larry Hogan of the defendants’ right to a hearing within 24 hours. The weeklong 10 p.m.-to-5 a.m. curfew instituted Tuesday night is crimping the city’s economy. Owners of bars and restaurants in Fells Point said it was “devastating” to their businesses and the 100-plus workers they employ. Breaking curfew is a criminal offense unless workers have official letters from their employers, and thousands of people in the city’s service industries, many of them struggling to make ends meet, are temporarily out of work. More than 20 police officers have been injured since Monday, but nearly all have been treated and released from hospitals, Batts said.
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is on pace to deport the fewest number of immigrants in nearly a decade, according to internal government data obtained by The Associated Press. As of April 20, federal immigration officials sent home 127,378 people in the United States illegally. That puts immigrant removals on track to be among the lowest since the middle of President George W. Bush’s second term. The new figures, contained in weekly internal reports, showed that the government sent home an average of about 19,730 removals a month for the first six months of the government’s fiscal year that began in October. If that trend continues, the government will remove about 236,000 by September — the lowest figure since 2006.
Japan PM offers condolences Prime Minister Shinzo Abe offered condolences Wednesday for Americans killed in World War II in the first address by a Japanese leader to a joint meeting of Congress, but stopped short of apologizing for wartime atrocities. Abe went to Capitol Hill after visiting a Washington memorial to more than 400,000 American service members who died in the conflict. “My dear friends, on behalf of Japan and the Japanese people, I offer with profound respect my eternal condolences to the souls of all American people that were lost during World War II,” he said, prompting his audience to rise in applause. But he skirted an issue that some U.S. lawmakers had been urging him to address — the sexual slavery of tens of thousands of Asian women by Japan’s military.
Gyrocopter illustrates threat The protesting mailman who flew his gyrocopter through restricted airspace to the U.S. Capitol showed that the government isn’t prepared for the growing threat from drones and small aircraft, a lawmaker said. The April 15 flight by Douglas Hughes demonstrated that the air defenses in Washington “didn’t work” Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said at a hearing Wednesday. The gyrocopter flew undisturbed even though police had been tipped to the flight and radar had detected the aircraft’s presence, according to testimony.
Florida: No-taxes pledge Florida Sen. Marco Rubio has signed conservative activist Grover Norquist’s pledge to oppose and veto “any and all” tax increases if elected president, he said Wednesday on Twitter. Rubio follows fellow Republican nomination aspirants Sens. Ted Cruz, of Texas, and Rand Paul, of Kentucky,, both of whom have signed the pledge. His move could put fellow Floridian mentor-turnedrival Jeb Bush in a difficult position in the brewing 2016 presidential contest.
AROUND THE WORLD France: Soldiers accused Paris prosecutors are investigating accusations that French soldiers in Central African Republic sexually abused children they were sent to protect. The French investigation follows an initial United Nations investigation into the allegations a year ago — both of which were kept secret until a report in the Guardian newspaper Wednesday forced officials to publicly acknowledge them. The Central African Republic has seen unprecedented violence between Christians and Muslims since late 2013. At least 5,000 people have been killed, and about 1 million are displaced or have fled the country. France sent troops in late 2013.
Saudi Arabia: Succession King Salman redrew the line of succession Wednesday in a dramatic reshuffle that reflects the kingdom’s mounting security concerns and more assertive foreign policy. The 79-yearold king appointed his nephew, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, 55, as crown prince. The king’s son, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was named deputy crown prince, placing him as the most likely second in line for the crown. He is believed to be around 30 years old. The appointments thrust a new, younger generation of princes into the line of succession and map out the future of the throne for potentially decades to come. From Herald news services

Fed appears no closer to a rate hike By Martin Crutsinger Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve downgraded its view of the U.S. economy Wednesday after a winter in which growth nearly froze. The Fed offered no sign that a rate increase might be coming soon. On a day when the government estimated that the economy barely grew in the January-March quarter, the Fed acknowledged that economic barometers have weakened of late, in part because of temporary factors. It noted in a statement that growth has slowed, business investment has softened and exports have declined. It also reiterated that it needs to be “reasonably confident” that low inflation will move back up to the Fed’s 2 percent target. In its statement, the Fed

removed all calendar references — a message that any move to raise its key rate from a record low near zero will hinge entirely on what the economic data show. The only parts of its policy statement the Fed changed Wednesday dealt with its assessment of economic conditions. It said growth has “slowed during the winter.” That was a downgrade from its March statement, which said growth had “moderated somewhat.” But the Fed partly blamed “transitory factors” for the deceleration and stressed that it expects the economy to expand moderately. David Jones, an economist who has written several books on the Fed, said he thinks a rate hike is unlikely until September. Still, he foresees a pickup in growth and a rate increase by fall. “There is no question that the
statement was full of negatives about the economy, but I think the Fed believes most of the slowdown will be temporary,” Jones said. “There will be a bounce back in growth in the second quarter, and that is why I think the Fed will start raising rates in September.” Earlier Wednesday, the government estimated that the economy grew at a barely discernible annual rate of 0.2 percent in the January-March quarter, battered by harsh weather, plunging exports and scaled-back energy drilling. It was the poorest showing in a year and was down sharply from a 2.2 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter. The job market has also slowed of late. U.S. employers added just 126,000 workers in March, the fewest since December 2013, breaking a 12-month streak of
gains above 200,000. Gauges of manufacturing, housing and consumer spending of late have been weak to modest. The Fed’s unanimous decision Wednesday means it will keep its key rate near zero, where it’s been since December 2008. That’s when the Fed slashed the rate as low as it could to support an economy heading into the deepest recession since the 1930s. Until the economy’s recent slowdown, many economists had thought the first rate hike could occur in June. But as evidence has grown that the economy likely slowed significantly in the first quarter, analysts have been pushing back their estimates of the first rate increase until September or possibly later. Some analysts say persistently modest growth and low inflation could keep the Fed on hold until 2016.

NEW YORK — The recession isn’t a dim memory for many small businesses. Nearly two-thirds of owners in a Bank of America survey said their companies are still recovering from the downturn that officially ended nearly six years ago. Only 21 percent of the owners surveyed last month said their businesses have fully recovered.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken a step toward requiring public companies to show the relationship between the compensation of their top executives and the company’s financial performance. The 3-2 vote Wednesday on “pay for performance” rules follows a 2013 proposal that would require companies to disclose the pay gap between CEOs and ordinary employees. During the 2008 financial crisis, outsized pay packages were blamed for encouraging disastrous risk-taking and short-term gain at companies at the expense of long-term performance.
Windows 10 opened to Apple, Android apps SAN FRANCISCO — Microsoft hopes to get more people using the next version of its Windows software on all kinds of devices, by giving them access to many of the same apps they’re already using on Apple or Android phones. In a major strategy shift, a top executive told an audience of several thousand software developers Wednesday that Microsoft will release new tools to help them quickly adapt the apps they’ve built for Apple or Android gadgets, so they will work on smartphones, PCs and other devices that use the new Windows 10 operating system coming later this year. On the first day of the company’s annual software conference, other executives showed off more uses for Microsoft’s holographic “augmented reality” headset, the HoloLens — although it’s not yet for sale. They also announced the official name for a new web
Recession still hurting retailers
Pay and performance
Associated Press SEATTLE — Starbucks is staking out some ground in the world of high-end grounds. The Seattle Times reported that at the company’s new Reserve Roastery and Tasting Room, it’s selling some of the planet’s top-rated coffee beans for $80 a pound, or brewed for about $7.50 a cup. Starbucks coffee buyer Ann Traumann bought the beans at an international coffee auction in Brazil, part of a series of events known as the Cup of Excellence. She paid $23.80 per pound for the 2,000-pound lot. That surprised others in the field. Starbucks, which last year paid an average of $1.72 per pound, has historically avoided the auctions because they don’t offer the massive quantities of reasonably priced coffee it needs. But Starbucks is trying to boost its Reserve brand to compete with companies like Portland, Oregon-based Stumptown and Chicago’s Intelligentsia Coffee for pickier customers.

The Justice Department is seeking criminal charges against Lumber Liquidators in an ongoing investigation over imported products. At the same time, the company said it is continuing to diversify its laminate flooring offerings as it deals with fallout from a CBS report that raised concerns over formaldehyde levels in Chinese-made flooring.

Officials said Wednesday that the problems involved lawnmowers that either started spontaneously or that continued to operate after users released the handles and removed the safety keys. The lawnmowers were manufactured and sold by Black & Decker from 1995 to 2006.

Lawsuit: Judge says claims weren’t backed by evidence From Page A1
with Everett since 1995. Wolfington is Native American and claimed he was forced to quit in 2013 after 20 years with the department. The lawsuit alleged that city leaders knew the men were being mistreated but failed to take any action. Along with the city, Capt. David Fudge and former Police Chief Kathy Atwood were named as defendants in the lawsuit. “The City of Everett works hard to ensure that all of our employees are treated fairly and in accordance with the law, and Judge Jones’ ruling is a nice confirmation of all the hard work we have done to maintain a diverse workplace where everyone is judged on their merits,” spokeswoman Meghan Pembroke
said Wednesday. The lawsuit was filed in January 2014 in U.S. District Court in Seattle. Since then lawyers have deposed numerous police officers, including current Chief Dan Templeman, Atwood and Fudge. Garcia claimed he was demoted from lieutenant after his six-month probation period because of unreasonable expectations. He said Fudge demanded more from him than from white lieutenants. He claimed he was the only officer in decades to be demoted immediately after the probationary period. He alleged white officers were given extensions or a change in supervisors. The judge concluded that the city provided legitimate reasons why Garcia was demoted, including missing deadlines and not responding to email from
his supervisors. Garcia, on the other hand, failed to identify examples of discrimination related to his demotion. “The absence of this type of specific evidence is fatal to his claim,” Jones wrote. The sergeant’s opinion that his performance was satisfactory didn’t meet the legal standards to go forward with a trial, the judge wrote. Evaluations show that Garcia was a strong candidate for promotion, and “there is no question that Mr. Garcia was and continues to be a valuable public servant,” Jones wrote. The court said Fudge could have done more to mentor Garcia and the department could have used better methods to assist Garcia. The city admitted that Garcia has strong community relations skills
and his outreach efforts have led to a better police department. “The court wholeheartedly agrees,” Jones wrote. “Unfortunately, the court does not sit as a super personnel department and cannot dictate the department’s decisions.” The judge also found that city provided legitimate reasons why Mah wasn’t promoted to sergeant. Jones also concluded that the city wasn’t required to promote Mah under civil service rules. They police chief has discretion to chose one of the three top ranked candidates. Wolfington failed to provide evidence that his working conditions were intolerable when he left in 2013, Jones wrote. The lawsuit alleged that Fudge retaliated against Wolfington when he reported that Fudge was in an
inappropriate relationship with a subordinate female officer. The judge concluded that Wolfington failed to provide proof that Fudge knew about Wolfington’s report. The judge also found that Wolfington failed to show that he was skipped over for promotions because of his race. Atwood, the former chief, testified that she didn’t know he was Native American. Wolfington didn’t provide any evidence to contradict her testimony, the judge wrote. Bellevue attorney Benjamin Compton, of Vreeland Law, said Wednesday that his clients are considering whether to appeal the decision. Both Garcia and Mah are now assigned to patrol. The court’s opinion that the officers cannot prove discrimination doesn’t change the fact that the officers weren’t promoted
despite their experience, qualifications and rankings on civil service evaluations, Compton and lead attorney Victoria Vreeland wrote in a statement to The Herald. “Discrimination may be hard to actually prove even when we see and feel it. Our clients have seen and felt it at the Everett Police Department,” they wrote. The lawyers said their clients should be commended for making the issue public. It showed there were few police officers in leadership positions who “actually look like the diverse public they are charged with protecting,” the lawyers wrote. The city’s lawyers have asked the judge to award them about $10,500 to cover the costs of depositions. Diana Hefley: 425-3393463; hefley@heraldnet. com. Twitter: @dianahefley.
Auditor: His absence leaves state in uncharted territory From Page A1
“We will weather through this. Things will calm down and everyone will see us as the stellar agency we are,” said Jan Jutte, the director of operations and a 30-year veteran of the agency. “The cloud over Troy Kelley is a personal cloud. It is not a cloud that belongs over this office and we need to make that distinction.” Jutte, who met with reporters for half an hour Wednesday morning, said she was due to retire April 30 but changed her mind a few weeks ago because “I love this office. I really do.” Now she finds herself in uncharted territory as Washington has never had
an elected statewide official take an unpaid leave of absence to fight criminal charges. She learned of her new role in a phone call with Kelley late Monday. She said she last saw him in person when they met April 23 at a DuPont restaurant so she could give him mail and other items from his office. While she said she doesn’t plan any personnel changes, she will review the status of Jason Jerue, a parttime employee and former Kelley business cohort. Jerue, who is believed to live in California, is currently on unpaid leave. Inslee on Monday sent a letter to Kelley informing him that he would not
be paid his $116,950 a year salary while he was gone. The governor also wanted a plan for how the auditor’s office would operate. Kelley and Inslee spoke by phone Tuesday before Jutte’s appointment was announced. “We’re glad there is a plan,” said Inslee spokesman David Postman. “We’re glad Jan Jutte will be in charge. The governor believes (Kelley) should not be in the office. The right thing to do is resign.” But Kelley seems resolved to stay on. He believes he will emerge victorious at the end of the fight and resume his duties. It’s given him the fortitude to ignore repeated calls for
his resignation. “I believe it is important for everyone to remember that under our system, everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, in front of a jury of one’s peers,” he wrote in a statement issued Tuesday. “My decision to take this leave of absence affords those who call for my ouster with the confidence that a larger group of talented executives will oversee the work of the Auditor’s office, while allowing me to dedicate my time and efforts to my legal defense.” There’s no formula for when a politician should stay on or step down when facing controversy, said
veteran political consultant Ron Dotzauer of Snohomish. Politicians with established credibility and connections will be subject to greater pressure from their friends and allies to leave office, he said. Politically isolated figures like Kelley don’t care what others say. “He’s trying to hang on,” said Dotzauer, who leads Strategies 360. “He’s trying to keep up the appearance of innocence.” It took time but Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon eventually resigned amid allegations he knowingly allowed some of his staff on the county payroll to harass his
political rivals. But County Councilman Brian Sullivan and state schools chief Randy Dorn weathered arrests and convictions for drunken driving. It didn’t prevent Dorn from getting re-elected and isn’t stopping Sullivan from running again this year. Christian Sinderman, founder of Northwest Passage consulting, said there is always an honorable way out but in this instance Kelley doesn’t seem to be looking for it. “There’s custom and common sense,” he said. “To date Troy Kelley seems bound by neither.

Shared duty for worker safety the machinery while it was running. “I think it is very special that they acknowledge the lack of safety in the workplace and acknowledge the fallen,” Hogue said, as was reported Wednesday by Herald writers Kari Bray and Jerry Cornfield. Hogue rang the bell for her son. Those whose memories were honored represent a variety of trades, just as their deaths represent a range of circumstances. Not all of those honored died in circumstances that would be considered preventable. Among those were Ron deQuilettes, 52; Steven Hadaway, 53; Stephen Neal, 55; and William Welsh, 66; who died while working on homes that were swept away during the Oso landslide on March 22, 2014. But other deaths may have been preventable. Ken Otto, 50, a Woodinville resident, died after he
was struck by a faulty Boeing 777 seat airbag that he was attempting to repair in November at Boeing’s Everett plant. Another Snohomish County resident, James Keaton, 47, died in January 2014 of lung disease related to long-term exposure to the fumes from paint and thinners. L&I organizes the ceremony to ensure that these lives are not lost in vain, that they serve as a reminder about the importance of workplace safety issues. Toward that end, L&I also has the ability to investigate such deaths and levy fines where violations of safety and health standards have occurred. In the case of Bradley Hogue’s death, the landscaping company, Pacific Topsoils, was fined $199,000 for 16 violations. Four Boeing suppliers, including Jamco America, were fined a total of $11,000 in Otto’s death. There were no fines meted out in Keaton’s death as L&I
could not tie his illness to any one particular job or employer. Deaths, such as Keaton’s, put the responsibility on lawmakers to provide better environmental health protections for workers. Once again, the Legislature this session failed to allow a vote on a bill that would have banned the use of certain flameretardant chemicals used in children’s clothing that pose a cancer risk to firefighters. But there also is a responsibility for workers, themselves, to be mindful of the risks around them and their coworkers. For those businesses not already planning to participate, workers should ask their employers to take part in the Safety Stand-Down, May 4-15, which encourages employers to revisit safety standards and training for workers. For more information go to tinyurl.com/ LnISafetyStandDown. Eighty-nine times is too often to hear that bell rung.
Union, you didn’t dare leave your home, or travel, without the proper documentation. How soon will it be until I pull into a parking spot, in a town that I don’t live in, and someone taps me on the shoulder and says “Your papers please.” Sound chilling? Now that the residents of Mukilteo have their “parking passes,” they may hang their “papers” on the rearview mirror. How soon until Edmonds, Lynnwood, and others join in? Where does it end?
■■POLITICS
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■EDUCATION
Accountability must play part The Monday letter, “Tough decision, serious matter” covered many areas of teacher discontent, and as is usually the case, the strikes are allegedly put on “for the children.” My take on this letter is that the teachers want more money, less work and no measurable teacher standards that can universally be applied to teacher performance in the classroom and provable student achievement. Couple this with a work year of about 1,550 hours compared with the 2,070 hours, or more, for most workers. Overworked are we? How much of this 1,550 hours is truly spent in the classroom teaching the subject matter? Do not civil service contracts have a “no strike clause”? How does a breach of a contract teach children responsibility? Higher education academic degrees (bachelors, masters, doctorates) are fine learning measurements, but normally have little to do with “in the classroom teaching skills,” and thus should not be a standalone reason for increased compensation. Step increases seem to be paid for job longevity, rather than increased productivity. I would hope that these underpaid, overworked, donot-want-to-be-evaluated folks could easily find more suitable jobs elsewhere. James Vibbert Stanwood
■■MUKILTEO
Non-resident fees a horrible idea Regarding the article “Lighthouse parking passes have arrived”: Can we please call this what it truly is? It’s a non-resident fee for using something located in Mukilteo. The reason I ask to label it correctly is my fear of what comes next. Why doesn’t the city of Edmonds adopt the same policy for Brackets Landing (Ferry Terminal Beach)? Non Edmonds residents would now pay to use the beach. But why limit the idea to beaches? The city of Lynnwood, in its never-ending thirst for automobile revenue via the traffic camera, could also implement the idea at Alderwood mall. Non-Lynnwood residents would pay to park at the mall. Do you really think the idea would drive customers away?

I don’t. Lynnwood could now generate revenue not only when you drive your car and roll through a stop light, but also when it is legally parked at the mall, as long as you have paid your hourly non-resident fee. North of Lynnwood is the outlet mall. Not only is the place packed every weekend, but a good portion of the crowd is not only nonresident, but non-U.S. citizen. How much should they pay to park? Would $5 an hour be unreasonable? Based on the large amount of shopping bags headed to the trunks of cars, I seriously doubt it would impact business for the tribe. It’s not really the money that bothers me, but the underlying tone that it sets concerning my freedom. In the former Soviet

Word usage errors on trees, ponds Two too-common cringeinducing word usage errors appeared in today’s Everett Herald. “Pine trees” is not a generic term for evergreen conifers. The trees in the freeway median are almost certainly cedars, firs, hemlocks and spruces. Pines are not native to this area. Most “retention ponds” are detention ponds, which collect stormwater and release it slowly through restricted outlets. Ponds that retain stormwater have no outlets, instead allowing the water to soak into the soil. They are usually dry between storms and can be located only in well-draining soils, which are not common locally. Engineers call them infiltration ponds, not retention ponds. If you’re not sure what kind of pond it is, you can’t go wrong calling it simply a “stormwater pond.” These errors of misinformation never oughta happen in a quality newspaper.

IN OUR VIEW | Worker Memorial Day
The bell tolled 89 times Tuesday for those in Washington state who died from injuries or illness related to their work. Twelve times it rang for residents of Snohomish County. The annual Worker Memorial Day ceremony in a small garden outside the offices of the Department of Labor & Industries in Tumwater honored the memories of those who had died in 2014. But it also served as a call to action and presence of mind for workers, employers and officials to do more to prevent workplace deaths. That dual purpose was stated no more succinctly than by Deanna Hogue, the Lake Stevens mother of 19-year-old Bradley Hogue, who died in July while working for a landscaping company in Duvall. Bradley Hogue, on his second day on the job, died when he fell into an augur used to spread bark, apparently attempting to clear

By crime family, you mean Bushes? Regarding the letter, “The Clinton crime family”: You’ve got to be kidding us! When the Clinton administration started in 1993, we had just had a war, we had the largest deficit ever and the stock market was about 7,000. Eight years later, (of peace and prosperity) the economy was better, the stock market was over 12,000, and we had the largest surplus ever. These are facts! Eight years later, two wars, terrible economy, a housing mortgage fiasco, and again the largest deficit ever. The Bush “crime family” should have been indicted and turned over to the International Court for prosecution as terrorists (the invasion of a sovereign country, and the execution of their duly elected leader!) If we need someone to blame for most of our problems, let’s point the finger where it belongs — the Bush Crime Family. James Tobler Lynnwood
■■CONGRESS
Time for next ineffective in line Why not have Sen. Patty Murray take Sen. Harry Reid’s place? As I recall, President Obama made her head of a committee to develop a budget and if the committee failed we would have sequestration. Guess what? We have sequestration and as a result the smallest military since 1917. Sen. Murray’s reward, she was then made head of the Senate Budget Committee. We have such a good deal? Ronald Cummins Everett
We can take a joke; can we face the truth?
T
rue words are often said in jest, it has long been said. But a harsher idiom has been taking shape in recent years: Jest is becoming the only way to express truth. It is the columnist’s curse to entertain such thoughts about disparate events that seemingly share only coincidental timing — President Obama’s comedic speech at Saturday’s black-tie White House KATHLEEN PARKER Correspondents Association dinner and the growing unrest in Baltimore 40 miles away. Both reveal in their own way our increasing powerlessness to express what is real and true before the intimidating power of political correctness. We can’t call a fool a fool because we might need his vote. We remain mum in the face of horror or incompetence lest we offend someone and enter that particular digital hell where Internet mobs rule. Comedians are fast becoming the only people who can lampoon the emperor or call out the idiot without tempting the guillotine. Obama’s performance, riotously funny, bordered on parable as his so-called anger translator “Luther” (portrayed by comedian Keegan-Michael Key) acted out what was really in the president’s head as Obama expressed banal pleasantries about the media and politics. “Awwwww yeah. She’s [Hillary Clinton’s] gonna get that money,” Luther shouted just inches from Obama’s ear. “She gonna get ALL the money.” The crowd laughed so hard because it was so true. Obama the impenetrable surely has such thoughts dancing in his head even as he remains virtually expressionless. There was nothing funny going on in Baltimore, yet the protests that later became riots exposed both what happens when people feel marginalized — and the absence of other voices that should be heard during such events. Where is the outrage beyond the African-American community about police brutality and the deaths of young black males? Where are members of Congress other than those belonging to the black caucus? My God, the list of those killed is staggering, yet this is not a new phenomenon. Baltimore’s Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old who suffered spinal injuries and died while in police custody, is but the most recent. Yet you see only the usual black activists speaking up. My guess? Whites are too uncertain of the proper way to express their anxiety and would rather not risk the potential backlash. Trip lines are everywhere. On the other side of the coin, we all want to call the criminals who have been looting, burning and targeting Baltimore police officers “thugs,” but only African Americans — President Obama and Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake — would dare to say it. At the same time that people avoid too-sensitive subjects, they seem to fear stating the obvious lest their thoughts be interpreted as an act of betrayal to “the group.” Politicians are the most risk-averse of all. Few are the Democratic women who will find (or express) fault with Hillary Clinton. It is the rare African-American who finds fault with Obama. Republicans don’t get a pass. Heaven forbid they should call out someone who wants to inject biblical end-times into political debate. Obama the jester didn’t hesitate. Poking fun at Michele Bachmann’s recent remark that he would bring about the end of days, Obama quipped, “Now that’s a legacy!” With a joke, Obama exposed the absurdity of such thinking. But the joke would have been far funnier and provided a greater sense of relief had a Republican said it. Alas, this will never happen — and not because Bachmann is no longer in office. She still speaks to and for a large swath of Republican voters, which means that the GOP party is doomed to pretend that 2,000-year-old prophesies are perfectly relevant to today’s geopolitical debate. That’s a lot of turf to cover in a column, but the unifying theme is that we are slowly becoming a nation that pays greater heed to sensitivity than truth, and that prefers the comfort of committeecrafted thoughts that neither offend nor enlighten. In time, we may mourn even the jesters. Kathleen Parker’s email address is kathleenparker@washpost.com.

Charges filed in school shooting By Donna Gordon Blankinship Associated Press
SEATTLE — Prosecutors have filed five charges in juvenile court against the 16-year-old accused of firing a gun inside his school in Lacey. No one was injured in Monday’s shooting at North Thurston High School. A fastacting teacher tackled the boy after he fired two shots. The charges filed Wednesday include theft of a firearm, felony harassment, unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm on school property and illegally discharging a firearm. Arraignment is scheduled for May 11. Senior Deputy Prosecutor Wayne Graham said
these charges carry a standard sentencing range of six to 12 months, but that doesn’t include potential firearms enhancements. Graham anticipates there will be further charges filed once the investigation is complete. “We have many layers of the onion still to get through,” Graham said Wednesday. The prosecutor said he hasn’t decided whether to bring any charges against the parents. State law is grey in the area of keeping guns away from children and does not require them to be locked in a safe, Graham said. For now, the investigation is focused on the school and school victims, he said. There could be more charges associated with injuries that
occurred when a few students fled the scene. For example, two students fell down while running away and were trampled. Police have 500 witnesses to interview and have been flooded with phone calls from parents and students, Graham said. Once all the interviews are done, they will reassess the charges, he said. “There could be a number of different crimes depending on what information comes out,” he said. “It’s just overwhelming the police department right now.” Although the 16-year-old was initially charged as a juvenile, that could change as well, depending on the charges and whether they decide to petition the juvenile judge to move the case up to adult court, Graham said.
The boy has a previous record. He is on active probation from multiple counts of fourthdegree assault with sexual motivation, Graham said. The boy is being held in Thurston County with bail set at $500,000, and he has been scheduled for a mental health evaluation. The boy stole the .357 Magnum pistol from his father and brought it to school in a duffel bag, Graham said during a court hearing Tuesday. Police say the teen fired two shots before being stopped by a group of teachers and administrators in the school commons where hundreds of students had gathered before school Monday. The boy, a recent transfer to the school, reportedly told detectives that he didn’t intend to hurt any other students.
Brewers’ task: Turn sewage into suds By Steven DuBois Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. — Some companies boast of making beer with spring water from majestic mountains. They won’t be competing in the upcoming Pure Water Brew Challenge, in which an Oregon wastewater treatment operator has asked home brewers to make great-tasting beer from hops, barley, yeast and the key, not-so-secret ingredient: treated sewer water. The point of the contest is not to find Portland’s next trendy craft beer. Rather, it’s an effort to get people talking about how a vital resource can be reused thanks to advanced water-filtration systems. “We need to be judging water by its quality, and not by its history,” said Mark Jockers, a spokesman for Clean Water Services, which runs four wastewater treatment plants in the Portland suburbs. “The water we’re producing is significantly cleaner than what the safe drinking standards are for water that comes out of taps across the United States.” The utility plans to release 300 gallons of highly purified water in early June to roughly 20 home brewers from the Oregon Brew Crew, the state’s oldest homebrewing club. A panel of experts will judge the beers in late July or early August. The victor wins $100, five others will get $50, and their kegs will be taken to an international water conference in Chicago. Though state regulators have approved the safety of the water, the beer won’t be sold at stores or bars. Though some might find toiletto-tap totally gross, places from Singapore to parts of California and Texas use treated effluent for drinking water, generally mixing it into the regular supply. Advocates of water reuse like to say all water is reused. When one town treats its wastewater and discharges it into a river, some of it eventually finds its way into another town’s drinking supply. “We all live downstream from someone,” said Zachary Dorsey of the WateReuse Association, a nonprofit that supports water recycling.
DON RYAN / ASSOCIATED PRESS
Clean Water Services spokesperson Mark Jockers shows sealed containers of highly purified water from its facility in Forest Grove, Oregon, on April 24. The utility plans to give 300 gallons of the water to roughly 20 home brewers from the Oregon Brew Crew, the state’s oldest home-brewing club. A panel of experts will judge the beers in July, and the best kegs will be taken to an international water conference in Chicago.
As a brewer, that’s not usually the ingredient you’re highlighting; it’s either the malt or the hops or the yeast. I took it to mean something light, refreshing. — Ted Assur, Oregon brewer
The rainy Portland area has never had to consider intentionally drinking wastewater. In fact, the city made national headlines last year when it wasted 35 million gallons of drinking water because one man urinated into an open-air reservoir. Clean Water Services says a growing population and environment factors might eventually pressure the supply in the Pacific Northwest. Its hope is to change Oregon regulations before there’s a crisis. Its process for purifying the water for the beer contest includes ultrafiltration, reverse
osmosis and advanced oxidation — terms that don’t exactly fire the public’s imagination. Oregon Brewers Festival founder Art Larrance sits on the utility’s advisory board. He figured if you want to get Oregonians talking about recycled water, you have to make beer. The contest was born. Some water cleaned by the utility goes for irrigation, but most is discharged into the Tualatin River. Last year, Clean Water Services held a contest in which brewers used water drawn from the river. That batch contained 30 percent treated wastewater.
This year’s competition will be 100 percent “sewage brewage.” Ted Assur won the top prize in the river contest, defeating a dozen competitors with his Vox Max Belgian beer. He said the contest was unique because participants were told to make beer that highlights the water. “As a brewer, that’s not usually the ingredient you’re highlighting; it’s either the malt or the hops or the yeast,” he said. “I took it to mean something light, refreshing.” Assur described the highly purified water as stark, almost like distilled water, allowing him to essentially start with a blank slate before adding mineral salts. “It is some of the best water I’ve ever made beer with,” he said. “I think the fact that it was really starting with absolutely nothing but water, and then having to add in the exact minerals I needed. I felt like that was a factor in producing a great beer.” He wouldn’t divulge what type of beer he intends to make this time around. With the contest getting national publicity, he expects a fiercer competition.
State lawmakers return to work on budget By Derrick Nunnally Associated Press
OLYMPIA — Washington lawmakers have returned to work after a four-day break for a special session to resolve the state’s budget debate and other matters. The House and Senate each opened business at noon Wednesday for a special session called by Gov. Jay Inslee. Their agenda includes resolving the competing visions Democrats and Republicans have for state
spending, including a state Supreme Court mandate to put more money into public schools. Budget negotiators resumed meeting Monday ahead of the formal start of the special session. Other issues lawmakers want to take up include taxes on recreational marijuana sales and the state’s first big-ticket transportation package in years. The special session is scheduled to last up to 30 days. The session’s rules require
each chamber to take new votes on bills previously passed that did not make it to Inslee’s desk, so lawmakers in both chambers slotted a series of bills for mostly procedural action in the next few days. Senators moved a series of bills connected to their budget proposal through committee. Both the Senate and the House scheduled a series of bills for floor votes Wednesday afternoon that were expected to attract little debate. House
leaders laid out a schedule that calls for only brief sessions Thursday and Friday before breaking for the weekend. Meanwhile, the budget negotiators continue their work out of public sight. Members of both parties said their results will dictate much of what comes out of the special session. “Until there’s some agreement on the total size of spending, a lot of this is just going through the motions,” said Sen. Michael Baumgartner, R-Spokane.

Whooping cough on the rise in state SEATTLE — Whooping cough is at an epidemic level in Washington, with nearly 400 reported cases so far this year. The Seattle Times reported that as of Saturday there have been 387 cases this year, compared to 85 reported cases this time last year. Health officials released the data Tuesday and said babies too young for vaccination and teens with waning protection were particularly at risk. Pertussis rates range widely among counties, with Walla Walla, Jefferson and Kitsap counties reporting at least 34 per 100,000 people, and King County reporting only 2.7 cases per 100,000 people. Fifteen counties have seen no cases of pertussis. An outbreak in 2012 ended with almost 5,000 reported cases and one death.
Lynden: E. coli cases from dairy festival visit Health officials say four school children have lab-confirmed cases of E. coli and two others have E. coli symptoms after attending a Whatcom County dairy festival last week. The Bellingham Herald reported that more than 1,000 elementary school pupils attended the Milk Makers Fest at the Lynden fairgrounds. Greg Stern with the Whatcom County Health Department said two children have been hospitalized. Those sickened by E. coli bacteria can develop symptoms including severe stomach cramps, oftenbloody diarrhea and vomiting. The health department is trying to determine a specific source of the illness. Stern said the main sources are contaminated food, contaminated water and contact with livestock. The festival was sponsored by the Whatcom County Dairy Women. It introduced young students to farming and gave them a chance to pet farm animals, including small horses, sheep, rabbits, chickens and a calf.
Olympia: Gonorrhea cases spreading in state State health officials say gonorrhea is spreading in Washington. The number of gonorrhea cases diagnosed rose by nearly 40 percent in 2014 — from 4,395 cases in 2013 to 6,136 cases in 2014. Health officials also reported a 33 percent increase from 2012 to 2013. Gonorrhea is the second most common sexually transmitted disease in the state. Rates of infection have been going up since 2009 — from a rate of 34 cases per 100,000 people that year to a rate of 88 cases per 100,000 in 2014. State health officials said they have yet to determine the reason for the increase, but they said increases have been seen in most counties of the state, in both men and women of various age groups. Young adults are the most affected.
Walla Walla: Reward offered for deer kill The Humane Society is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the people responsible for the thrill killing of at least eight deer in Walla Walla County. State wildlife officers are investigating the deaths, which they believe occurred April 10. The deer were found lying in a field. The state Department of Fish and Wildlife is seeking information from the public to help identify the shooter or shooters.

Report: Protecting sage grouse could hurt military By Nicholas K. Geranios Associated Press
SPOKANE — Efforts to protect the greater sage grouse under the federal Endangered Species Act
could hurt training operations at numerous U.S. military facilities in the West, according to a new report by the Army. The report looked at the impact of protecting
sage grouse on the Yakima Training Center in Washington; Hawthorne Army Depot in Nevada; the Wyoming National Guard; Tooele Army Depot and Dugway Proving Ground
in Utah. It found that protecting the birds would restrict the availability of training lands; limit the size of training lands and ranges; restrict the
use of firing points; and impose restrictions on future development and construction. The greatest impacts would occur at the Yakima Training Center,

a 327,000-acre facility in central Washington that provides desert-like training conditions for the U.S. Army that includes live fire of ammunition and maneuver training. The Yakima center supports one of four populations of greater sage grouse in the state, within a 77,000-acre preserve, and already operates in a way to minimize impacts on the birds, according to the report released this week by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy, and Environment. But a listing under the Endangered Species Act would impact “the ability to meet the training mission,” the report said. If the greater sage grouse is listed, 11 gunnery ranges would be shut down from Feb. 1 to June 15 of each year, among numerous other restrictions, it said U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., who represents the Yakima area in Congress, said listing the grouse would hurt vital military training. “This administration’s restrictive regulatory interpretation reveals misplaced priorities,” Newhouse said. “Unnecessary environmental rules should not take priority over national security and military readiness.” In an op-ed article in Roll Call this week, three former military officers criticized the possible listing. A listing could make “Yakima all but useless for six months of every year,” “ wrote Joseph E. Schmitz, Marc Rogers and William G. Boykin. “The Army could be required to transfer up to 5,000 soldiers across the country to receive similar training.” Travis Bruner of the Idaho-based Western Watersheds Project, a conservation group involved with saving sage grouse, said the Army concerns were new to his group. “I’m not too familiar with the impacts of Army activities on sage grouse habitat,” Bruner said. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has a Sept. 30 deadline to decide whether to propose the greater sage grouse for federal protection. The chicken-sized bird once numbered in the millions, but current estimates put the population between 200,000 and 500,000. Experts blame loss of habitat to development and, in the past decade, massive wildfires blamed on a warming climate and invasive species. Western state governors and federal officials are trying to avoid a listing. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell in January issued an order seeking a sciencebased approach to find a way to stop wildfire and other threats to protect sage grouse habitat.

proved to be a blessing in disguise. The Peninsula Daily News reported that the $20,000 sculpture is an abstract representation of a great blue heron with a 10-pound clock attached to its beak. A day after the sculpture was installed, someone taped a piece of paper over the clock face. When a city official climbed up to take the paper down, he noticed the clock had been improperly attached. That left it in danger of falling off in a strong wind, potentially endangering anyone below. The clock was reattached — correctly — Monday. From Herald news services

Historic preservation in the Town is governed by an Interlocal Agreement for Landmark Services with King County. The Town’s Design Review Board and the County’s Historic Preservation Program work together for designation and general oversight of a landmark and to review any request that seeks to modify the landmark. Per County and Town regulations, no signiďŹ cant feature may be altered regardless of whether a building permit is required, unless a CertiďŹ cate of Appropriateness (COA) is awarded. The Commission acknowledges that in order to prolong a historic landmark, changes are often needed and considering the following four factors when reviewing COA applications: • The extent of impact on the historic property; • The reasonableness of the alteration in light of other alternatives available; • The extent alteration is necessary to meet the requirements of law; and • The extent alteration is necessary to achieve a reasonable economic return The Hotel’s historic designation makes certain incentives available to the property owner. These include: • Eligibility for grant funds for building rehabilitation through the King County Landmarks and Heritage Program Office (other potential funding sources are identiďŹ ed on the last few pages of this RFP) • Eligibility for technical assistance from the King County Landmarks and Heritage Commission • Eligibility for historic site marker PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS The proposal should have all information necessary for the Town of Skykomish to evaluate the expertise and qualifications of the Proposer in developing the property as outlined in this RFP, Each proposal shall be limited to twenty (20) typewritten pages excluding illustrative material which shall be included as appendices.

TOWN OF SKYKOMISH Request for Proposal Skykomish Hotel
Executive Summary The Skykomish Hotel represents a rare opportunity to redevelop a historic, four-story hotel in the heart of the Town of Skykomish. The hotel is owned by the Town of Skykomish and is currently vacant. The town is offering the property for sale or lease. Situated in the center of town, the hotel has direct access to US Hwy-2 and beneďŹ ts from excellent access and visibility and a diverse group of surrounding amenities. The town envisions the site being reinvigorated as an inuential hub for commerce and recreation. The property’s Historic-Commercial District zoning combined with its historical signiďŹ cance make it a unique and high-proďŹ le rehabilitation opportunity. PROPERTY QUICK FACTS Address: Skykomish Hotel, 102 Railroad Ave, Skykomish, WA 98288 Year Built: 1904 Construction: Wood Lot Size: Approximately 13600 Building Size: 12,132sf PIN: 7807800465 Zoning: Historic/Commercial District Ownership: Town of Skykomish Utilities: Served by Town water and sewer systems, underground electric service Site Condition: Four-story historical Hotel and Restaurant, Building requires renovation Transaction: Long-term lease or Fee-simple sale PURPOSE The Town of Skykomish is marketing for sale or lease a four-story building (Skykomish Hotel) and property consisting of approximately 13,600 square feet of commercial business space located within the town’s historic-commercial district. Prior to ďŹ nal sale or lease, the Skykomish Town Council will consider the disposition of the property after conducting a public hearing and after mutually agreeing upon terms and conditions of reuse and redevelopment of the property through a negotiated contract with the future owner(s) or tenant(s). Please note that a ďŹ nal sales contract or lease must be approved by a public vote of the Skykomish Town Council. THE PROPERTY The project site consists of a parcel of land developed with one commercial building. The site is located at 102 Railroad Ave and 5th Street in downtown Skykomish, Washington. CURRENT HOTEL CONDITIONS Through a lengthy period of neglect and abandonment, the Hotel has not been maintained and exhibits many signs of deterioration, mostly as a result of water damage from the condition of the roof. The Hotel will require signiďŹ cant retroďŹ tting and upgrades to comply with current codes and to restore functionality. The full scope of required improvements depends heavily on the proposed use but it is expected that the hotel will need substantial work to bring the hotel up to a current building, safety and energy minimums. The most urgent repairs needing to be addressed are the roof, siding and balcony. HISTORIC-COMMERCIAL DISTRICT The historic-commercial zoning designation is intended to promote a broad mix of retail stores, ofďŹ ce uses, service establishments and wholesale businesses, offering commodities and services required by the residents and visitors to the town while preserving the unique historical and architectural characteristics of the buildings in the district.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Put your talents to good use. Hone your skills and implement what you have to offer with enthusiasm. The way you approach others and your ability to be a team player will have an effect on the outcome of any challenge you take on this year. Your numbers are 2, 12, 19, 21, 29, 35, 48. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Update your resume. Gather information about what you need to learn in order to get a better position. Your charm coupled with your experience and knowledge will give you greater negotiating power. ��� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Working with others will be necessary if you want to get things accomplished. If you don’t participate, nothing will happen. Focus on saving money and paying off debt. ����� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Refrain from sharing personal information. You’ll face conflicts when money is involved. Take a creative approach if you want to maintain good relations with both personal and professional partnerships. �� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Look at the possibilities. If you accept change and are willing to try something new, you will advance. Instead of making a fuss about a situation you don’t like, do something about it. ���� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Focus on cheap entertainment, romance and moderation instead of getting into a debate. Budgeting may be difficult, but it will be a necessity. An unexpected expense will set you back. ����

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Put muscle behind whatever you decide to do. Someone you are close to will take advantage of you.

Felix steady, Mariners sweep Rangers Morrison has four hits, Cruz hits 10th home run as Seattle beats Texas 5-2.
TONIGHT’S GAME
By Bob Dutton The News Tribune
TONY GUTIERREZ / ASSOCIATED PRESS
Seattle starting pitcher Felix Hernandez delivers a pitch against Texas during the first inning of a game on Wednesday.
ARLINGTON, Texas — A suboptimal Felix Hernandez is — no surprise — still pretty good. Still good enough Wednesday night to stymie Texas into the seventh inning and help the Mariners complete a three-game sweep. This 5-2 victory was harder than it should have been because the Mariners were 3-for-15 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11 runners. No matter. Hernandez (4-0) and the bullpen made it work. “I didn’t have my best stuff today,” Hernandez said. “My

changeup was up. I fell behind a lot of times. The sinker was working pretty good, but that was it.” The game turned on Logan Morrison’s bounding two-run double past first base with the bases loaded in the fifth inning. That broke a 2-2 tie. The ball eluded first baseman Kyle Blanks. “I was thinking, ‘Don’t get doubled up,” Morrison said. “‘Get to first. It got through, and then they gave (me) a double. I was like...I’ll take it.” It could easily have been scored
an error. Either way, it was the difference. The Mariners scored just 10 runs in sweeping the series for their first three-game winning streak of the season. They are back to within one game of .500 at 10-11 as they head into a four-game series at first-place Houston. “I felt we had a good series,” Morrison said. “We won the games we needed to win. We need to go to Houston and do the same thing.” Hernandez gave up two runs and five hits in 62⁄3 innings, which actually hiked his earned-run average from 1.61 to 1.82. He walked one and struck out four, which left him one shy of Johan Santana’s record for Venezuelanborn pitchers. See MARINERS, Page C4
Seahawks excited for flexibility in draft Despite not having a first-round pick, Seattle is stockpiled with a leaguehigh 11 selections overall. By Gregg Bell The News Tribune
RENTON — This NFL draft reminds John Schneider of his and Pete Carroll’s first one together leading the Seattle Seahawks five years ago. In 2010, Seattle’s new, eager general manager and coach waited around the Virginia Mason Athletic Center for what seemed like forever, from picking Earl Thomas 14th overall to choosing Golden Tate with the 60th-overall choice in the second round. “We had a huge gap there before we took Golden and I remember Pete being like ‘Oh, my!’ It was a long time. ‘When are we going to pick again?’” Schneider recalled last week. “I just asked him to go outside and shoot hoops for a while.” Time for the coach to break out the basketball again on Thursday.

Golfers tee off on the 16th hole at Chambers Bay in University Place during a media-day round at the site of the 2015 U.S. Open on Monday.
JOHN BOYLE
U
NIVERSITY PLACE — When it comes to the U.S. Open, there’s a joke among United States Golf Association officials that goes something like this. If no players are complaining about the course, they’ve done something wrong. And by that measure, the 2015 U.S. Open is already a success seven weeks before the 115th playing of one of golf’s most prestigious tournaments. The world’s best golfers won’t descend on Chambers Bay until mid June, but already this unique U.S. Open site is getting into the heads of some golfers well before the tournament comes to the Pacific Northwest for the first time.
‘One of a kind’
Despite the inevitable grumbling from some players, the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay will be a fun, unique test of golf
On Wednesday, Ian Poulter tweeted that the word from tour pros that had played Chambers Bay was that the course was “a complete farce.” And according to freelance golf journalist Stephanie
Wei, one unnamed pro who recently played Chambers Bay responded to a question about the course by singing “M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E.” Ignoring for a second that Poulter is also the same guy
who last year made waves when he complained on Twitter that British Airways bumped his nanny from her business class seat (the horror!), the uniqueness of Chambers Bay will indeed be met with mixed reviews by pros when they arrive here next month. And that’s just fine with the USGA, and really, should be for anyone else watching the tournament. Different is OK, even when it comes to a tournament steeped in tradition. Different will actually be pretty darn fun to watch. No, this won’t look like a traditional U.S. Open, and it won’t even look like a British Open despite Chambers Bay being a links course, not with the huge elevation changes. What the 2015 U.S. Open will be is a fascinating test of golf that will reward the golfers who are on their game — and yes, who embrace an unusual challenge — while punishing those who

Fifth-inning rally lifts Glacier Peak over Edmonds-Woodway Grizzlies break open a 1-1 tie with five runs in the fifth, hang on to beat Warriors 6-2 in a Wesco 3A South matchup. By Rich Myhre Herald Writer
SNOHOMISH — Tied with Edmonds-Woodway through 51⁄2 innings, Glacier Peak broke the game open with a five-run rally in the bottom of the sixth on its way
to a 6-2 Wesco 3A South baseball victory on Wednesday afternoon. And it all started with a strikeout. With the score 1-1, Glacier Peak’s Deven Kamihara led off the sixth against EdmondsWoodway pitcher Brady Edwards.
INSIDE: Outdoor Outlook, C2

Kamihara swung and missed at a two-strike breaking ball, but the pitch bounced in the dirt and kicked away from Warriors catcher Garrison Krohn, who then had trouble finding the ball as Kamihara sprinted safely to first.

long double to left field for the goahead run. But the Grizzlies were far from finished, with four of the next five batters hitting safely against Warriors reliever Nick Hull, resulting in four more runs. So how big was getting the leadoff runner on base via a strikeout/wild pitch? “It changed the inning a lot,” said Glacier Peak coach Bob Blair. “If we don’t get that guy on base,

they’ve got one out and they can rest back a little bit on defense. But if you get him on, now the pressure’s on them.” “It changed the whole inning,” agreed Warriors coach Dan Somoza.

T
he fleet will be out in force Saturday morning for sure, celebrating opening day of the boating season, participating in the first weekend day of the lingcod fishery, and the first day of the two-day recreational spot shrimp season in local waters. Get your ramp spot early. The shrimp opener will draw the bulk of the fishing fraternity, and it should be a normal season, according to state Fish and Wildlife Department shrimp biologist Mark O’Toole at the agency’s La Conner office. O’Toole said test fisheries by the department recently showed above average populations of the big, prawn-size spot shrimp in Hood Canal, Marine Area 9, and Marine Area 7; about average numbers in Marine Area 8; and populations a little below average in Discovery Bay. The WDFW last week expanded shrimping opportunity in Marine Area 7 West, the west side of the San Juan Islands — Friday Harbor/Roche Harbor/San Juan Channel — from an originally-scheduled 13 fishing days to 30 days. The area will now be open daily, beginning Saturday, and will close when the recreational quota is reached or Sept. 15, whichever comes first. The season in Marine Area 7 East and South, along with the rest of Puget Sound remain unchanged. The very popular Iceberg Point on the south end of Lopez Island, a shrimp hot spot, is in Marine Area 7 South, and doesn’t participate in the season expansion. The reason for the additional opportunity, O’Toole said, is that recreational shrimpers in 7 West didn’t reach their quota last year. O’Toole said commercial shrimpers are probably done with one-day openings in the Edmonds area, areas 8-1 and 8-2, and Area 7. Where to soak a pot? “There are a lot of productive shrimping spots around here,” O’Toole said, “but the south and southeast sides of Gedney (Hat) Island and the Clinton shoreline should be worth a try, along with almost
PICK OF THE WEEK | Martha Lake trout
Outdoor calendar
Trout anglers at Alderwood Manor’s Martha Lake did very well Saturday on the opening day of the state’s lowland lake fishing season, scoring an average of 8.7 rainbows kept or released per person — the best ratio in the county by far. And the crowd didn’t get them all, which means there are a whole lot of plump rainbows in Martha still looking for a fight. Of the 301 fish caught by the 45 anglers contacted by state creel checkers, 256 were returned to the water. The lake is a little deeper than many of our area waters, which tends to extend the
■ The North Snohomish County Chapter of the Coastal Conservation Association is holding its banquet on May 2 at the Everett Yacht Club. The event includes raffles, games and auctions.

anywhere in the Everett area.” Other than Area 7 West, scheduled spot shrimp seasons are as follows: Hood Canal (Marine Area 12), open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on May 2, 9, 11 and 13; Discovery Bay (Marine Area 6), open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on May 2, 9, 11 and 13; marine areas 4, 5, 6 and 13 (except Discovery Bay), open daily beginning May 2 until quota or Sept. 15; marine areas 7 East, South and West, open May 2 for a one-day fishery and reopen May 13-16, May 20-23, and May 27-30 (except for 7 West, above); marine areas 8-1, 8-2 and 9, open 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on May 2 and May 13. For a full shrimp schedule, see www.wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/ shellfishing. Mike Chamberlain at Ted’s Sports Center in Lynnwood suggested shrimping “anywhere from in front of Edmonds up to Brown’s Bay; Picnic Point; north of Mukilteo; Elger Bay; Baby Island/Greenbank; Utsalady (the deeper spots) and Columbia Beach.” He says it’s crucial to use lots of oily bait and scent, and to pull after an hour to see how you’ve done. If you haven’t, move. Average shrimping depth, Chamberlain says, is about 240 to 300 feet plus or minus, and he likes a minimum of 10 pounds of weight in his pot. Go to 30 or 40 pounds if you’re fishing deep or the tide is really running — some places in the Strait or San Juans. Commercial bait pellets are a good place to start, he says, adding things like fish cat food; cheap tuna, salmon or mackerel; fish or egg oils made by Pro Cure and others; salmon or tuna carcasses; guts from cleaned fish; leftover salmon eggs frozen from last season, and other stuff, the oilier the better. For traps, he likes the conical

It’s a top prospect for this weekend — and for at least two or three weeks after that — for 10- or 11-inch hatchery trout and a fair percentage of larger holdover fish to 16 inches or more. Martha is readily accessible, with a state Fish and Wildlife Department ramp on the southeast side and a big county park with two fishing piers on the south end.

Big trout The Lachapelle family scored big over the weekend, as younger daughter Morgan won the kids’ fishing event at Fortson Pond in Darrington on Saturday and older daughter Lexus took the Lake Tye derby on Sunday, in Monroe. Morgan’s rainbow measured 17.5 inches, while Lexus’ fish weighed in at 6 pounds, 4 ounces. Proud Dad Kevin Lachapelle said Lexus has now won the Sky Valley Chapter, Trout Unlimited-sponsored kids’ event two of the last three years. And opening day angler Marlin Methven nailed a 5-pound, 12-ounce trophy ‘bow trolling on Lake Ki. The fish measured 22.5 inches in length.
Bass tourney The 2015 Potholes Open Bass Tournament, one of the largest in the Northwest, produced 1,068 bass over the weekend of April 18-19 for 103 entrants. That included 907 largemouth and 161 smallmouth. The winning team was Levi Rodelo of Warden, and Peter Kline of Tulalip, who fished the dunes for 47.21 pounds of bass, weighed and released. The team’s largest fish weighed 5.6 pounds; the largest taken in the derby was a largemouth of 7.6 pounds.
Lingcod The San Juan Islands remain the place to go for lingcod on our inland waters, due to the wealth of rocky habitat found there. The season opens May 1 and a lot of spots in the islands will produce fish, but depending on how far you want to run, Kevin John at Holiday Sports in Burlington lists these favorites: Deception Pass, for the first couple of weeks of the season; Burrows and Allan islands south of Anacortes; the south side of Lopez Island; Cattle Point; Iceberg Point; and Point Colville, among a lot of others.

New Zealand prospect Timmins signs letter of intent to play for UW By Christian Caple The News Tribune
Washington’s recruitment of New Zealand prospect Sam Timmins began around late February and developed quickly and quietly. A 6-foot10, 250-pound center, Timmins was not on the radar of any popular recruiting websites, and his name was apparently not familiar in the United States to even the most avid college basketball followers. So it was with a certain amount of surprise that the Huskies announced Wednesday morning that Timmins, a native of New Zealand’s South Island, had signed a national letter of intent to play for UW beginning in the 2016-17 season. And it seems UW coach Lorenzo Romar believes the Huskies just signed a significant piece of their future. In a news release from the school, Romar lauded Timmins as “a rare find. He is a true center who can score on the block and is extremely skilled. Sam will also bring additional physical toughness to our team. We can’t wait for him to get to Seattle.” In a telephone interview with The News Tribune, Romar expanded on those comments, calling Timmins “a really good passer. He can score it on the block. He’s not extremely athletic, but yet he’s a good shot blocker because he has long arms. He’s a back to the basket
Storm sign former Husky star Davis SEATTLE — Former University of Washington standout Jazmine Davis has signed a training camp contract with the Seattle Storm. The WNBA team announced the signing Wednesday. Davis, a 5-foot-7 guard, finished her four-year career at Washington last month as the Huskies’ all-time scoring leader (2,277 points). She’s also the school’s all-time leader in field goals, 3-point field goals made and attempted, and free-throws made and attempted. As a senior in 2014-15, Davis led the Huskies to their first NCAA tournament berth since 2007. Davis was a four-time AllPac-12 selection and the 2012 Pac-12 Freshman of the Year. If she makes Seattle’s final roster, Davis would join Jamie Redd (2000-02) and Kristen O’Neill (2008) as the only Washington Huskies to play for the Storm. Seattle opens training camp on May 17 at the team’s practice facility on the campus of Seattle Pacific University and tips off the 2015 season June 6 against Los Angeles. Herald news services (player) but he can also step out and make the midrange jumper. He’s a good rebounder, as well.” High-schoolers in New Zealand graduate in November, meaning Timmins, age 17, won’t be able to enroll at UW in time for the 2015-16 season. He could enroll as early as January — and even if he does, Romar said, the possibility of Timmins playing this season is “totally out of the question” — though his current plan is to stay in New Zealand after graduation to compete for the national team. That puts him on track to enter UW as a true freshman for the 2016-17 season. Details of Timmins’ basketball exploits in New Zealand
are somewhat scarce, aside from those provided in UW’s news release. He is a member of the Canterbury Rams in the New Zealand National Basketball League (it’s a professional league, but he plays as an amateur), which he joined at age 15 as the youngest player in league history. Timmins will also play high-school basketball this upcoming season at Middleton Grange. According to UW, he is trying to become the second player to win national championships with two high schools in New Zealand history. While playing at Otago Boys High School, Timmins won a Nationals Schools Championship and was named tournament MVP.
Grant County: Park and Blue lakes in the Sun Lakes group, didn’t run up large numbers, but the fish were big. Anglers averaged 3.5 trout per rod, but they averaged 15 inches and included some larger holdover fish. Park Lake rainbow averaged 14 inches, and anglers took 2.3 trout per rod. Anglers on Warden Lake took 3.1 fish per person, average, but the rainbow were smaller, at 10 inches, and showed very few larger holdover trout. Okanogan County: Alta Lake put out a 2.6 fish per person average, to 17 inches; Big Twin, 1.8 to 18 inches; Chopaka (flies only), 7.9 per rod; Conconully Lake, 3.4 to 17 inches; Conconully Reservoir, 2.8 to 12 inches; Pearrygin, 0.4, to 17 inches; and Wannacut, 0.5, to 11 inches. Chelan County: Wapato Lake, 4.8 per person, to 18 inches. Douglas County: Jameson Lake, 3.3, to 17 inches.

Commission nominee draws fire A coalition of sportfishing interests released Tuesday its opposition to a nomination by Oregon governor Kate Brown to the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission. The group requested that the governor withdraw her recent nomination of Bruce Buckmaster, saying in the release that “for the last decade Buckmaster has served as a lobbyist, spokesman and chief strategist for the commercial gillnet industry.” Members of the coalition include the Coastal Conservation Association of Oregon; the Northwest Sportfishing Industry Association; the Northwest Steelheaders; the Northwest Guides and Anglers Association; and the McKenzie River Guides.

American Pharoah early favorite for Kentucky Derby Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. — American Pharoah was made the early 5-2 favorite Wednesday for the 141st Kentucky Derby, with Dortmund the second choice in the full field of 20 horses, giving trainer Bob Baffert the top two choices on the morning line. American Pharoah drew the No. 18 post. Only one horse has won from there, Gato Del Sol in 1982. American Pharoah comes into the Derby having won the Arkansas Derby by eight lengths. “I’m extremely happy. I love 18. Not like, love,” owner Ahmed Zayat said. “He’s outside in the clear. He can do whatever he wants. He can sit and watch. The jock has so many options. That’s the best post.” Baffert’s other horse, undefeated Dortmund, drew the No. 8 post and is 3-1 for the 11⁄4mile race Saturday at Churchill Downs. That spot has produced eight winners, most recently 50-1 stunner Mine That Bird in 2009. Blue Grass winner Carpe Diem is the 8-1 third choice from the No. 2 post. Florida Derby winner Materiality, and Sunland Derby winner Firing Line are co-fourth choices at 12-1 odds. His other horses are even longer shots: Itsaknockout and Stanford, both 30-1. Ocho Ocho Ocho drew the No. 1 post and is among four horses at 50-1, along with Keen Ice, War Story and Mr. Z.

and Ryan Ober to make the score 4-1. One out later, Jacob Lundin bounced a single into right field for two more runs. In the sixth, Somoza said, “they put the ball in play, found some holes and we couldn’t get out of (the inning).” In the top of the seventh, Glacier Peak starting pitcher Sam Wyatt came within one out of a complete game. But with one EdmondsWoodway run already in and two runners on base, Blair called on reliever Kyle Umperovitch, who got the save with a game-ending strikeout. Though Wyatt gave up 11 hits with two walks and two hit batters, he made clutch pitches when he needed to, stranding eight hitters through six innings. He was also aided by two Glacier Peak double plays. “He threw a great game,” Blair said. “Sam was our closer last year and he started out as the closer this year, but we moved him to the starting rotation and he’s been able to stretch (the innings) out.

He’s probably one of our best competitors on the mound. He does not like to lose even one pitch.” Indeed, Wyatt was plainly disappointed at being pulled with two outs in the seventh. “The pitching coach and I had a long talk about that over the course of the first couple of batters (in the inning),” Blair said with a smile. “But it’s a team game and (Wyatt) knows he’s got to relinquish it if he can’t finish it out.” The victory was very important for Glacier Peak, which is fighting for a district playoff spot in the final week of the regular season. The Grizzlies are in a down-to-the-wire battle with Meadowdale and Mountlake Terrace for the league’s final two postseason berths. Beating EdmondsWoodway “was huge,” Blair acknowledged. “We knew coming into this (series) this was our season, right here this week.” As for a young EdmondsWoodway team, there will be no playoffs this season. “We’re just playing for pride ... and to build some momentum for next year,” Somoza said.

Grizzlies eliminate Portland Associated Press MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Marc Gasol had 26 points and 14 rebounds as the Memphis Grizzlies advanced to the Western Conference semifinals by beating the Portland Trail Blazers 99-93 on Wednesday night. The Grizzlies reached the West semifinals for the third time in five years. They will play Game 1 on Sunday at Golden State. Memphis closed out Portland in five games despite not having point guard Mike Conley for a second straight game as he recovers from surgery to repair broken bones near his left eye. Courtney Lee added 20 points for Memphis, Zach Randolph had 16 and Jeff Green added 10 off the bench. CJ McCollum led Portland with a career-high 33 points. Damian Lillard had 22 points, and LaMarcus Aldridge had 14 before fouling out late as they combined to shoot 13 of 37. The Blazers lost in the first round for the seventh time in their last eight postseasons.
Atlanta 107, Brooklyn 97 ATLANTA — Al Horford and Jeff Teague scored 20 points apiece, helping the top-seeded Atlanta Hawks hold off the Brooklyn Nets 107-97 Wednesday night in an NBA playoff series that’s closer than anyone envisioned. Shaking off a dislocated finger, Horford flew around the court in the fourth quarter when it looked like Brooklyn was on the verge of bouncing all the way back from an early 17-point deficit. In the final minute, Teague darted into the lane for a couple of baskets that sealed another hard-fought victory. Atlanta leads 3-2 in the best-of-seven series, which heads back to Brooklyn for Game 6 Friday night. The Hawks can wrap it up, but the eighth-seeded Nets seem intent on taking it to the limit.
Korver wins award NEW YORK — Atlanta’s Kyle Korver has won the NBA Sportsmanship Award and will receive the Joe Dumars Trophy before the Hawks host Brooklyn in Game 5 of their playoff series. Korver earned 87 of 317 first-place votes and 2,351 total points in voting by NBA players. New Orleans All-Star Anthony Davis was second with 2,171 points.

Mariners From Page C1
Danny Farquhar got four outs after replacing Hernandez before Fernando Rodney pitched another one-two-three ninth for his third save in the series. Rodney is 7-for-8 overall in save situations. Hernandez did become the Mariners’ all-time leader in innings pitched by boosting his total to 2,0951⁄3. The record previously belonged to Jamie Moyer at 2,093 from 1996-06.
Feeling old? “Not really,” Hernandez said. “I’m still 29. But that’s pretty sweet. I’m healthy, and I can do a lot more.” Justin Ruggiano started the decisive fifth inning with a leadoff double against Texas starter Wandy Rodriguez. After struggling Robinson Cano struck out weakly, Nelson Cruz received an intentional walk. No surprise there. Cruz opened the scoring in the second inning against Rodriguez with a tapemeasure drive to left field for his 10th homer of the season. Rickie Weeks drew his third
walk, which loaded the bases, before Morrison pulled his hopper up the first-base line. “It wasn’t the best swing,” Morrison said. “It wasn’t the best pitch to swing at. It worked out.” The two-run double finished Rodriguez (0-1), who gave up four runs and five hits in 41⁄3 innings. His line could have been a lot worse; the Mariners repeatedly let him off the hook. Cano remains mired in a nowrecord slump. He reached base twice on errors but finished the game at 0-for-5 and is hitless in

Morrison, in contrast, finished with four hits after entering the night with just 10 in his first 19 games. His average jumped from .149 to .194. “I’ve had some tough ones,” he said, “but at the same time, I need to be swinging the bat better. They found holes tonight. It’s better to be lucky than good some nights, and tonight was one of them.” Cruz’s homer was a leadoff
boomer in the second inning that was just the 19th to land in the club level in the park’s 22-year history. The Rangers estimated the distance at 430 feet; ESPN tracked it at 447 feet. It marked the third time that Cruz, who spent eight years with the Rangers, reached the club level. The only player with more is Juan Gonzalez with four. “I hit it pretty good,” Cruz acknowledged. “You don’t see that very often. ... A today like today is special. You hit a homer, and you win the game. Those are the ones that definitely matter the most.”

Tigers not moving slumping Martinez out of cleanup spot By George Sipple Detroit Free Press
Victor Martinez has one extrabase hit this season, but Detroit Tigers manager Brad Ausmus hasn’t given any thought to moving him lower in the order. Martinez had surgery on his left meniscus in February. There have been times this season when he has winced after a swing. But Tuesday, he said he felt the knee is getting stronger. And Ausmus agreed when asked about Martinez Wednesday morning. “There was a particular pitch, a fastball he pulled foul last night that reminded me of the Victor of last year,” Ausmus said. “I said something at the time. I don’t know if it was Wally Joyner or Gene Lamont, but I said, ‘That’s the first time I’ve seen Victor do that.’ He seems to be progressing. When he’s taking pitches, he looks more normal, more comfortable. So I think we’re moving in the right direction.” Ausmus said that Martinez is getting stronger while exercising with athletic trainer Kevin Rand. “The pain is slowly dissipating. He’s able to stay back a little bit stronger.” Martinez had 33 doubles, 32 home runs and 103 RBI last season. He entered Wednesday’s game batting .232 with one double, no home runs and nine RBI in 19 games. Ausmus admitted that balls Martinez usually hits for doubles are becoming singles right now. So why not take him out of the No. 4 spot until he’s better? “Well, the left-handed bat makes a difference, without question,” Ausmus said. As for the suggestion of switching Martinez with Yoenis Cespedes in the batting order, Ausmus said: “Gives people something to talk about.”
M’s Cruz on AL All-Star ballot as designated hitter By Bob Dutton The News Tribune
ARLINGTON, Texas — If Seattle Mariners right fielder Nelson Cruz is again voted into the American League lineup for the All-Star Game, it will be as a designated hitter. Major League Baseball placed Cruz among the DH candidates Wednesday when it released its All-Star ballot. He was voted
last year as the starting designated hitter while playing for Baltimore. Cruz projects again as a top candidate — he is tied for the major-league lead with 10 home runs and 22 RBI after Wednesday’s game in Texcas — but he played the outfield in 14 of the Mariners’ first 20 games. Balloting commenced Wednesday and runs through 8:59 p.m. Pacific time on July 2.
Fans can vote a maximum of 35 times. The All-Star Game is July 14 in Cincinnati. This year, for the first time, all balloting will be conducted online. There will be no instadium ballots. MLB said 16 million paper ballots last year went unused. The Mariners, as is usual, have nine nominees on the AL ballot, three outfielders and one at each of the other positions.
P rig vs 1.
Second baseman Robinson Cano is seeking a sixth straight start and a seventh overall appearance. Third baseman Kyle Seager is seeking his first start after being selected last year as a reserve. The club’s other nominees: Catcher Mike Zunino, first baseman Logan Morrison, shortstop Brad Miller and outfielders Dustin Ackley, Austin Jackson and Seth Smith.

are struggling or who arrive in University Place unprepared for this course. And that’s exactly what a U.S. Open course should do. “This is a one of a kind site for us at a U.S. Open, and there will be some players who love the ground game, who love the imagination, who will embrace it,” USGA executive director Mike Davis said Monday at the U.S. Open Media day held at the course. “Then there are other players who just want predictability. They want something right in front of them, they don’t want to have to guess what’s going to happen when the ball lands, so again, it’s just a different mindset... “It would not be a U.S. Open if we didn’t get some chirping; it’s just part of it and we accept that. In fact, we joke internally sometimes that if nobody is complaining, we’ve done something wrong.” Nothing about this U.S. Open or the course is normal, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be a huge success both for the Puget Sound region and for the game. The last two sites to host this tournament, Merion Golf Club and Pinehurst, are both more than a century old, as is next year’s U.S. Open site, Oakmont Country Club. Chambers Bay, meanwhile, opened in 2007. When Davis and other USGA officials began discussing the idea of hosting their championship at a new golf course on the shores of Puget Sound, it wasn’t a golf course. It was sand and rocks, the remnants of an old gravel mine. But where Robert Trent Jones Jr. and former employee Jay Blasi would eventually design one of the country’s best courses, the potential was obvious long before the first shot was played at Chambers Bay. For starters, the course sits on a huge piece of property, a must for a major tournament because of the infrastructure needed, and the proximity to water made for a stunning setting. Throw in the fact that the course was going to be publicly owned, and that it was built on sand — the preferred starting point for building a golf course — and the USGA was intrigued from Day 1. “Taking a look over this fence at the property, and at that point it was just piles of sand, remnants of this old gravel and sand mine,” Davis said. “To think about where it is today, it’s fun to look back at how it happened so quickly. “This is a bold site. This is a big site. There’s a lot of scale to this site. ... We don’t have anything that we play the U.S. Open on that’s remotely similar to this.” In an Open that will look nothing like its predecessors, players will occasionally tee off from uneven lies; the first and 18th holes will alternate between Par 4s and Par 5s; and the course, from its width to its lack of trees to its huge hills will be unlike any previous U.S. Open Course. New will not only irk some players, it will challenge them in a way that a U.S. Open at Pinehurst or Pebble Beach would not. “I would contend that there is no way — no way — a player will have success here at Chambers Bay unless he really studies the golf course and learns it,” Davis said. “The idea of coming in and playing two practice rounds and having caddie walk it and using your yardage book — that person’s done, will not win the U.S. Open.” Chambers Bay is neither a Mickey Mouse golf course nor a farce. What it is, however, is a completely different site for a U.S. Open, one that some players will embrace and others will deride, and it’s a course that will bring one of golf’s biggest tournaments, and the estimated $140 million economic impact that comes with it to a region starved for big-time golf. And the whole thing, from the spectacular views to the creative shot-making to the unfortunate bounces should make for a fantastic, albeit unique, U.S. Open. Some players are complaining already, which means the first U.S. Open in the Pacific Northwest should be a fun and memorable one. Herald Columnist John Boyle: jboyle@heraldnet.com

USC defensive end Leonard Williams is the Tacoma News Tribune’s top-rated player in the 2015 NFL draft.
What to know heading into 3-day extravaganza What you may not have known about the league’s latest spring extravaganza, plus the Tacoma News Tribune’s top-10 players in this draft and the 80th annual NFL selection meeting by the numbers.
INTERESTING INFO 1. Defensive tackle Xavier Cooper is expected to become the third graduate of Tacoma’s Wilson High School drafted into the NFL in the last dozen years. Marcus Trufant, who like Cooper played for Washington State, went to the Seahawks in the first round, 11th overall in 2003. His brother Desmond Trufant went 22nd overall in 2013 to Atlanta. A fourth Wilson High grad, third Trufant brother Isaiah, is still playing in the NFL, for Cleveland, after not being drafted in 2006. 2. The University of Washington hasn’t had four players drafted in a single year since 2001 when it had five. Four Huskies seem like locks to get picked this weekend: ■ Danny Shelton is rated as the top defensive tackle in the draft and could go within the first 10 or 15 selections. ■ Marcus Peters is considered the draft’s best cover cornerback. ■ Hau’oli Kikaha led the nation with 19 sacks last season and had 40.5 tackles for losses and 32 sacks his last two Huskies seasons. ■ Shaq Thompson may be so gifted athletically as a linebacker, safety or even a running back that NFL teams may not know exactly how to use him. 3. This is the Seahawks’ sixth
draft with general manager John Schneider and coach/executive vice president Pete Carroll running the show. Of their previous first two picks over five years, they’ve selected six offensive players (four of them linemen) and four defensive players. Of their 48 total picks so far in Seattle, 26 have been on defense, 22 on offense. They have yet to select a college center, long snapper, kicker or punter. They have drafted one quarterback in five years — Russell Wilson (3rd round, 2012). They haven’t needed another one since. 4. The Seahawks are the first team since the 1994-97 San Diego Chargers to not have a first-round pick in three consecutive drafts. They got wide receiver Percy Harvin from Minnesota for their top pick in 2013. Schneider traded his 32nd and final pick of the first round last year to the Vikings for the 40th and 108th overall choices. Seattle traded the 31st overall pick in this draft to New Orleans last month to get tight end Jimmy Graham.

Barring a last-minute trade that seems less likely than Carroll winning the next NBA scoring title, these Seahawks will be the first team since the 1994-97 San Diego Chargers to not have a first-round pick in three consecutive years. This year, Jimmy Graham is essentially Seattle’s first-round choice; last month Schneider traded his 31st-overall pick to New Orleans along with center Max Unger to get the star tight end and the Saints’ fourthround selection Saturday. “We’re not picking until 63 right now, so that’s a lot of people to see come off your board, especially with the way first rounds usually go,” Schneider said of Friday’s second round, when his team has the first of its league-high 11 picks this year. “It gives you a lot of flexibility to either move, stay where you are or move back. I meant move up, because I think there is going to be some anxious people waiting until 63.” None more than Carroll. Yet he can temper his anxiety knowing he traded out of the first round to get the league’s most productive tight end the last three seasons. “When you acquire a player of Jimmy’s caliber with the 31st pick, that makes it that much
easier to sleep at night knowing that we wouldn’t be able to get a player like that,” Schneider said. Having only one pick through the draft’s first two rounds isn’t the worst situation this year, either. This draft’s talent is considered almost evenly distributed beyond the top guys that will go in round one; most see the difference between fourthand second-round prospects as small as it’s been in years. Sports Illustrated reported the Seahawks only had 16 players — half the opening round — rated as first-round talent this year (though Schneider never confirmed that assessment). The GM has said the team estimated the 31st-overall pick will cost $3.1 million against the 2015 salary cap. Seattle used that saved money to absorb some of Graham’s $40 million Saints contract plus sign Cary Williams from Philadelphia to a three-year, $18 million deal to be departed free agent Byron Maxwell’s replacement as a starting cornerback. Schneider and Carroll have drafted 48 players since they took over the team in January 2010. Of those four dozen, 42 are still in the NFL and two are playing in the Canadian league. They’ve drafted 30 guys in the last three years. All 30 are still in the NFL. Of those 48 draftees since 2010, 27 (56 percent) have become key Seahawks contributors, with 18 of those 27 starters.
BY THE NUMBERS The number of picks for the 11 Seahawks in this draft, most in the NFL. They start at No. 63 overall at the end of the second round, and have nine selections in rounds 4-7 on Saturday.
Seahawks’ picks
63
The first selection Seattle currently owns, at the end of round two after trading the 31st-overall pick to New Orleans to get Jimmy Graham. It would be the latest initial pick in team history, one spot lower than Christine Michael got picked to begin Seattle’s 2013 draft.

Total selections in 256 this draft, rounds one through seven.
The last time the Uni1995 versity of Washington has had two players selected in the first round: Running back Napoleon Kaufman No. 18 overall to the Raiders, TE Mark Bruener nine spots later to the Steelers. UW could get two Thursday with Danny Shelton and Marcus Peters.
The last time the 1964 draft wasn’t in New York – when it was in Chicago. That’s the site of this one, too, at the Auditorium Theater at Roosevelt University there. This is the eighth time the 80-year-old draft has been in Chicago.
How many hours it 3,457 will seem like this draft has gone on by the seventh
round Saturday afternoon, day three. Also roughly the number of times you will hear the word “upside” uttered about prospects over those days.

Oregon’s Marcus Mariota is the toprated quarterback in the NFL draft, which begins Thursday, according to the Tacoma News Tribune.
Seattle selected 11 of those 18 starters in rounds three through seven, far from the marquee, hyped first round. That includes Russell Wilson (third round, 2012), Richard Sherman (fifth round, 2011), Maxwell (sixth round, 2011), Super Bowl 48 Most Valuable Player Malcolm Smith (seventh round, 2011), Kam Chancellor (fifth round, 2010) and J.R. Sweezy (seventh round, 2012). This year with the 11 picks — including four compensatory selections in rounds four (No. 134 overall), five (170) and six (209 and 214) — the Seahawks have a stockpile from which they can make a deal. They can move higher in a round if they sense another team is about to take a new starting left guard (Donovan Smith of Penn State? Colorado State’s Ty Sambrailo?) or center (Oregon’s Hroniss Grasu?), a big wide receiver (Dorial GreenBeckham, formerly of Missouri? Devin Funchess of Michigan?), or defensive line (Houston’s Joey Mbu) or secondary depth (Tray Walker of Texas Southern?) Seattle likes and needs. Good thing for the Seahawks this draft is rated highly for depth on the offensive line, at defensive tackle and at wide receiver. Actually, it will be a surprise if Seattle doesn’t trade within a round or three on Friday (the second and third rounds) or Saturday (rounds fourth through seven). Schneider has made 25
trades involving picks from his first five drafts as Seahawks GM. “We see all the same guys (for the first round),” Schneider said. “But then once you get into the second round it’s kind of like it’s very much up in the air. I think that’s the most exciting part for us is that, ‘OK these guys, we really like them and where do we move? And do we have to move up? Can we move back? Do we move up to get one of them? Can we move back to get two of them?’” So while the antsy, let’s-go Carroll is outside letting off steam with free throws, Schneider will be inside the VMAC scheming even more picks. The GM that dismantled the roster with more than 200 transactions and 12 draft trades in his first year to construct the two-time defending NFC champion is attracted year-round to his wall of prospects’ names at Seahawks headquarters. Of all the responsibilities Schneider has — negotiating contracts, signing and releasing players, keeping a rapport with the roster, coordinating with agents and the coaching staff, team executives and owner Paul Allen — the draft that begins Thursday is at the top. “It’s extremely important. We have all these things going on, and I always end up at the draft board. It tells you how important it is,” Schneider said. “It’s huge. It’s our primary mode of acquisition.”

Frenzy builds for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao By Tim Dahlberg Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — His middle name is Money, or at least it used to be before Floyd Mayweather Jr. stopped flashing $100,000 wads of cash every time he saw a camera. That doesn’t mean money is ever very far from his mind. Certainly not now, when he’s the richest man in the richest fight ever. Mayweather has spent as much time this week talking about the mansion in Las Vegas, the home in Miami and the private jet that seats 14 than he has about Manny Pacquiao. He even figured out the math when it comes to dividing it up among his kids. “Let’s say I make $200 million,” Mayweather said. “That means my kids for this fight will get $50 million apiece. I think I made a smart move.” Indeed, Mayweather proved a smart businessman in signing for a fight that will likely earn him $180 million or more. But the smartest thing he may have done was delay the fight five years so it would be must-see TV, even at a record price of $99.95. “Five years ago this was a $50 million fight for me,” Mayweather said, “and a $20 million fight for him.” The frenzy for boxing’s biggest event of the century continued to build Wednesday, even if the two fighters themselves were very subdued. They appeared at a final prefight press conference with nothing bad to say about each other, and couldn’t even bring themselves to scowl for pictures. If the past five years were personal, with the two camps trading barbs, the fight itself is not. Pacquiao will be fighting for his legacy and a country desperate for him to win, while Mayweather will be fighting to add to

his already substantial bank accounts. That was apparent when Mayweather was asked if being undefeated was the biggest motivation for him. “At the end of the day my daughter can’t eat no zero,” Mayweather said of his unbeaten mark. “She can’t spend a boxing ring.” Money shouldn’t be a problem for the Mayweather family after this fight. Not with total revenue of some $300 million — and possibly more if the pay-per-view is the hit that network executives privately think it will be. Mayweather won’t be the only one getting rich. Pacquiao will also share in the

$120 million or so his side will pocket for the fight, beginning with a $25 million check from promoter Bob Arum the night of the fight. “I don’t like to write checks of an amount I don’t have in the bank,” Arum said. “I can cover 25 so that’s the amount he will get fight night.” Pacquiao said he couldn’t even conceive of the kind of money he makes now to fight. “I used to sleep in the street starving and hungry,” the Filipino congressman said. “I can’t imagine the boy who slept in the streets was raised to this level where I am
today.” Both fighters finished their major preparation earlier in the week, with both facing challenges unlike they have seen before. In Mayweather’s case it’s a southpaw who fights in spurts and comes from different angles, a style he will have to figure out early in the fight. For Pacquiao, it’s a defensive wizard who has fought 47 fighters and beaten every one of them. “I think we can outpoint this guy,” trainer Freddie Roach said. “If a knockout comes it will be a bonus.” Mayweather has been rather quiet about his strategy, preferring instead to talk about how he became the highest paid athlete in the world or promoting his websites. But he said his father, Floyd Sr., has crafted a game plan that will help him remain unbeaten after 19 years in the sport. He said critics of the way he fights don’t really understand boxing, and that he doesn’t need to be great defensively to beat Pacquiao. “I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a very exciting fight,” Mayweather said. “But sometimes I shut guys out and they call it a split decision or majority decision. My hands are always tied behind my back. The standards are always set higher for me.” The two fighters did disagree on which man was the one to actually get the fight to happen five years after it should have happened. Mayweather said he kept calling his adviser, Al Haymon, telling him to make the fight because he wanted it so much. But Pacquiao said it was the pressure he put on since beating Chris Algieri in Macau last November that finally forced Mayweather’s hand. “I feel I’m the one who really wanted this fight to happen,” Pacquiao said.
Jon Jones has been stripped of his UFC light heavyweight title and suspended indefinitely following his arrest in New Mexico on a hit-and-run that police say left a pregnant woman with a broken arm. The UFC announced the extraordinary penalties
Tuesday night for violations of its athlete code of conduct policy following Jones’ latest arrest in a string of misbehavior. UFC President Dana White and CEO Lorenzo Fertitta apparently met with Jones in Albuquerque before making their decision, which deprives the promotion of a major star. Jones is widely considered
the world’s best pound-forpound mixed martial artist. Jones was scheduled to face No. 1 contender Anthony Johnson at UFC 187 in Las Vegas on May 23, headlining one of the promotion’s biggest shows of the year. Instead, No. 3 contender Daniel Cormier will face Johnson for the title. Cormier lost to Jones in January.

TINY GREEN THUMBS Gardening helps kids better understand flora, fauna and food — and get some exercise
LAUREN KNIGHT
Author Lauren Knight’s son Emil picks beets he helped grow.
By Lauren Knight Special to The Washington Post
Warm weather is here. In many places, spring daffodils and crocuses have popped up out of the soil as the ground thaws and the sunshine warms the earth. It is time to start thinking about that vegetable garden. Spring brings not only hope of warm sunshine but also ever-changing plans for our vegetable garden. Every year, it’s something slightly different. This year we will plant our usual cucumbers and tomatoes, beans, kale, spinach, beets, carrots, squash, and peppers with hope that it will teach our boys the delicate process of where our food comes from, and also inspire them to taste and enjoy a wide variety of vegetables. Gardening is a lot of work — it’s muddy and messy, and sometimes pests or weather can destroy best laid plans. So why bother? The benefits of gardening for children are many. Children learn responsibility, cause-and-effect, and a greater understanding and appreciation for nature and its workings. A child who gardens has a better understanding of where food comes from and an appreciation of the process and work that goes into producing healthy food. Gardening is excellent physical activity: there’s activity in tilling the soil, carting fresh compost by wheelbarrow, seed-planting, then weeding and watering, and maintenance of the garden. Another benefit to gardening is obvious: nutrition. Our boys are hesitant to eat many vegetables placed on their plates at dinner time, but they willingly and happily munch on fresh cucumbers, berries,

snap peas, peppers, mint, basil, and even raw kale leaves they have plucked from the garden themselves. Perhaps the biggest surprise of all was the discovery that our children would seek out the garden just to spend time there. There is so much life to explore: They pick caterpillars off the leaves; they gently scoop up ladybugs and earthworms to examine them;

How to get started Here are some tips on introducing simple gardening to your children or starting a vegetable garden of your own.

Keep an eye out for other type of ‘gondola chair’
A
gondola chair, according to furniture dictionaries, is a late 18th- to early 19th-century chair with a concave back and side rails that curve down to the seat. It has four legs and is upholstered on the seat and on both the front and back of the chair back and the arms. It is a chair type that still is being made. But there is another more glamorous “gondola chair” that is less-publicized. The antique Venetian gondola chair is carved and painted or upholstered in leather. It has a high back that curves down to the seat. The sides of the back continue forward to form arms that are attached to the seat by another curved support. It has four splayed legs that

start at the seat and slant away from the chair. This type of chair was made in the 1800s and got its name from its shape. The chair looks a little like the front of an Italian gondola. It may even have been a seat for a gondola passenger. The Venetian gondola chair is rare and even the leather-covered ones are expensive. But a carved and painted example sells for thousands of dollars. Neal Auction in New Orleans sold one in 2014 for $1,917. Q: When I married in 1972, my mother gave me my grandmother’s dishes.

tips for new homeowners Have you just purchased a house? Sure, you may still have lots of work ahead of you before you can call it the perfect home, but settling in fast and getting cozy will set you on your way. Here are five tips to help you get comfortable.
APRIL
NEW HOME OWNERS MONTH!
For a job well done, call in some real professionals — a plumber, interior decorator, house painter, etc.
Hardware
1. For safety’s sake, change the locks on all exterior doors to ensure that the only people who have keys are those you have given to them personally. You should also draw up an evacuation plan and ensure there are enough smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in the house. 2. Entrust any renovations and repairs to true professionals to ensure the job is done well. If you have several similar jobs to be done (plumbing or electricity, for example), have them all done at the same time. Shop around for several quotes to keep costs to a minimum. 3. You don’t know what to do with the living room? You’re not talented in
creating color combinations? Enlist the help of an interior designer to create the perfect ambiance. And if you have a lot of rooms to paint and just the thought of it is getting you down, hire a team of painters; the work will be done quickly and done well, and you can get on with other tasks.
4. If the house is big but your many belongings are already making it feel cramped, there is a solution. Call in a home storage systems expert to show you how to maximize the space you have. 5. Lastly, if it isn’t already done, you should invest in some basic tools for maintaining the house and yard. A lawnmower and a kitted-out toolbox are always useful!

Give the diversified rhododendron a second chance
W
hen it comes to flowering shrubs there is nothing quite as spectacular as a rhododendron in full bloom. Anyone who has grown up in the Northwest can attest to the glorious sight of a yard full of these incredible plants. Rhodies come in many sizes and colors, are usually evergreen and for the most part are easy to grow. With proper selection one could have a rhodie blooming in their garden from February through June. I have found over the years that many gardeners have a bad taste in their mouths when it comes to rhodies. What they remember are the monster green shrubs with huge leaves that obliterated their parent’s homes and had to be pruned back every few years to keep them under control. While we still sell larger varieties, the vast majority of rhodies on the market these days are compact, self-branching and will top out in the 3 to 5 foot range,
Rhodies class Sunnyside Nursery will host a class on rhododendrons at 10 a.m. May 2. Learn about the different varieties and how to deal with disease and insects. Also, members of the Pilchuck chapter of the American Rhododendron Society will be on hand from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to exhibit their rhodies and offer tips and answer questions.
STEVE SMITH THE WHISTLING GARDENER perfect for under windows and along the foundation of our homes. But rhodies should not be relegated to merely foundation plants. There are over 1,000 different species of rhodies, including azaleas, and over 5,000 hybrids, many of which might not even be recognized as rhodies. Some have leaves as small as 1⁄4 inch with delicate little flowers and thrive in hot dry soil like would be found in a rockery. Others need full shade and have leaves that are covered with a fuzzy material called indumentum which makes them look like Teddy Bears in the garden. Some rhodies are arboreal in nature and will

as it sprouts and begins to grow. Try container gardening. You don’t need a yard or large plot of land to reap the benefits of gardening. A sunny patio or apartment balcony can hold a few pots with herbs, strawberries, or cherry tomatoes. Encourage exploration in the dirt. Let your child get messy, dig in the dirt, hold earthworms, turn compost, and make mud pies. Help children plant fun plants. Plants that grow quickly are really rewarding for children who can become impatient easily. Sunflowers grow quickly and have large seeds that are easy for children to plant. Don’t forget about the insects. Part of the joy of gardening for children is learning about all the insects that

I don’t know much about this guitar but some Dobro players have told me it’s definitely an antique. A: Ampliphonic guitars, also known as self-amplifying or resonator guitars, were developed about 1927 by John Dopyera. He and his brothers founded Dobro Manufacturing Co. in 1928. In 1929, he was granted a patent for his design for a guitar with a thin metal body and three

Good quality old guitars sell for high prices. Find an expert at a shop that sells guitars or an auction house to find out what your guitar is worth. Q: I have a Westernstyle working saddle made in the late 1890s or early 1900s by the Nebraska Saddlery Co. of Fremont, Neb. The company is no longer in existence. The design on the leather was done by hand and the stirrups have the original copper encasement around the bottom. The cinch, tie straps, stirrup hobbles and sheepskin under the saddle are new. I’d like to sell it to someone who appreciates such a beautiful piece of work and can just throw this on a horse and go to work. Where can I find someone who can give me an honest
By far the vast majority of rhodies have rather normal looking leaves and thrive in our Northwest maritime climate. Because all rhodies (and azaleas) have very shallow and fine root systems, it is imperative that gardeners make the extra effort to amend the soil with plenty of organic material and then top it off with an inch of mulch. That will help to retain moisture in the summer and provide better air exchange in the winter. Once established
rhodies can be fairly drought tolerant but if you want fabulous blooms in the spring you should really give them some extra water in the summer and also feed them after they bloom in the spring. As far as placement, I like to use the rule of thumb that the darker the flower the more sun it will tolerate. All the reds and purples and most pinks do well in full sun while the lighter shades of pink and white prefer some afternoon shade. Also, the larger the leaves the more shade is appreciated. However, rhodies that are planted in full shade will often tend to be leggy (spindly) and shy bloomers. While rhodies can be planted under a canopy of large conifers it is essential to provide supplemental water if you want them to be happy.

Quandary over name pronunciation
DAILY CROSSWORD
Adapted from a recent online discussion. Dear Carolyn: My family is Irish and my brother and his wife named their baby daughter “Aisling,” a rather traditional name. The name is pronounced similar to “Ashley” traditionally, but they are pronouncing it “A-zling.” My father insists on using the traditional pronunciation, arguing that it’s important for a connection to the Old Country and family heritage. He says that when she grows up and has friends he will call her “A-zling” in front of them, but that it’s OK for our side of the family to call her “Ashley.” I haven’t talked to my brother about this, and I know it’s their call, but my father has asked me whether he’s way out of line. I tried just telling him to work it out with his son, but he insists he wants my opinion, and I’m torn. Is this an “insist on not expressing an opinion” situation? — Baby Name Clash I wouldn’t call this a “clash” — your father is asking whether he’s out of line! If names are an EQ test, he’s at least in the upper quartile.
CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT Because this isn’t a disaster by any stretch, I think it’s fine to give an opinion you’re being begged to give. For what it’s worth, what you have already told your father — that you see his working it out with his son as the highest priority, above any issues of heritage or pronunciation — is, in fact, an opinion. But you can certainly go beyond that and say what you think of his decision to act unilaterally as spokesman for the Old Country. I do hope someone is speaking up for the child, since her opinion is the one that counts most here, and she will eventually be old enough to voice it. Re: Name:
That’s your opinion, which you are welcome to convey to this father. I am so naming my next dog Jeh-knifer. As spelled. Re: Name: My name is Annah. I added the “h” to the end but my mum doesn’t add it when she writes to me — no hissy fit from me. My grandma pronounced it as “Aaaana” — no hissy fit from me. When I moved to the United States, co-workers pronounced it the American way using an American accent — no hissy fit from me. — Anonymous 2 I see three perfectly good hissyfit opportunities squandered. Squandered! I can’t even. (c) 2015, Washington Post Writers Group

Life of contentment doesn’t seem normal Dear Abby: I’m 45, employed and earning plenty of money. I’m in a great relationship, my kids and grandkids are healthy and happy, and my parents are alive and well. I enjoy the small things in life, fishing, reading, the beach, mini vacations, bowling, etc. I raise funds to feed the homeless. So what’s my problem, you ask? Abby, I’m not really sure what my purpose is in life or if the way my life is, is normal. I feel content — even happy at times — but I’m troubled because it seems a lot of people do the exact opposite of what I am doing and they all have a purpose. Some of them are going to school, raising kids, having relationship problems, money issues, etc. They seem to be doing so much, and I feel like I’m doing so little. What is normal for my age? Should I be doing more? Most times I feel happy, but on a day like today I feel unfulfilled. Do I need to do more? — What Is Normal? Dear What: Doing so little? Count your blessings! You hold a job, have a family I presume you regularly interact with, have a great relationship, hobbies you enjoy and contribute to those who have less than you. I would say you are productive and successful. However, if YOU think you need to do more, then it’s possible you do. Take some time, decide what it is and reallocate your time if you feel you need something more to fulfill you. But please stop measuring yourself by anyone else’s yardstick.

DEAR ABBY our wedding, he broke up with me. He says I was verbally abusive. I admit I had anger issues. I had to plan most of the wedding alone because we were four hours apart. When we argued, he would say one thing and then something different later. He would also tell his mom stuff about me and our relationship that I considered private. After the breakup, I found out he had lied to me about his religion. I am heartbroken and depressed. I don’t know if I should be mad at him for the lies and the heartache he has caused me, or mad at myself for messing up. I have lost my confidence and self-esteem. What do I do? — Still In Love Dear Still In Love: Take off the rose-colored glasses for a moment and consider what the reality of a marriage to Alex would have been like. You would have had a mama’s boy for a husband, one you couldn’t count on to tell the truth and who blamed you for anything that went wrong. Don’t you realize you dodged a bullet? If things had turned out differently, you’d be writing me as an unhappy wife, probably with children to support. Let it go, get help for your anger issues and don’t waste more time brooding. There are times it is better that we don’t get the things we wish for, and this may be one of them. Universal Uclick

Carey promises Vegas ‘extravaganza’ By Kimberly Pierceall Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — For anyone wondering what to expect from Mariah Carey’s upcoming series of Las Vegas shows at Caesars Palace beyond her 18 number one hit singles, her grand entrance on Monday provided a hint of what’s to come. “No matter what, we’re going to make it into a festive moment darling. It’s an extravaganza,” she said Monday evening, backstage at The Colosseum. The songstress arrived to the venue earlier to cheering screams at Caesars Palace’s entrance in a classic 1936 pink convertible trailing behind 18 mobile billboards bearing the titles of her number one hits including “Always be my baby” from 1996 and “Heartbreaker” from 1999. The gladiator-clad men took it from there, carrying Carey through the casino on a platform fit for Cleopatra. The entrance marked her Las Vegas Strip arrival bringing her chart-topping hits to The Colosseum starting Wednesday with performances through July on the same stage where Celine Dion, Cher, Bette Midler and Shania Twain have called home for their residencies.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pop star Mariah Carey plans a series of shows in Las Vegas beginning Wednesday.
“Everyone in Vegas, there’s a new girl in town,” she told the crowd of smartphone-filming fans gathered inside the casino. Called “Mariah (hash)1 to Infinity,” the show has 18 scheduled performances so far and has been timed with the debut of Carey’s newest breakup single and music video dubbed “Infinity.” Listeners have already drawn comparisons between the song and the end of Carey’s marriage to Nick Cannon, the comedian and television host. When asked what “Infinity” is about, the mother of young twins with Cannon said it was about loving oneself first. “It’s kind of
emancipating, a re-emancipation for me,” she said, referring to her 2005 album “The Emancipation of Mimi”. Carey sang along to the new song on a stage inside the casino, at one point filming herself and the crowd with an iPhone. The singer’s career hasn’t always put her at the top of the charts. Her last album, “Me. I am Mariah ... The Elusive Chanteuse,” was less than well-received. She stands by the album, produced by label Def Jam before she returned to Sony Music, rather Epic Records, for the chance to work with Antonio “L.A.” Reid again. “I think giving your last
album to a label that you’re leaving is never a good idea because there’s just not that incentive,” she said, adding it’s a new world for selling albums. “If you don’t go out there and promote it in the proper way and you don’t have 100 percent of the label behind you, it’s not going to work. It’s just the way it is.” The Grammy winner, among the best-selling female solo artists of all time known for hitting the highest of notes, has also been criticized for recent live vocal performances. Asked if her Vegas shows would include backing vocals in addition to her own, she said “I have so many overlapping parts and background vocalists and background things that there’s always some confusion in something about it,” but offered that if any confusion persisted, she would welcome anyone to hear her while she sings naturally around her house. Carey said she’s getting ready to produce a new album, although she’s not sure what it’s going to be yet. For now, her Vegas show will feature all 18 of her number one singles spanning 1990 to 2008. Tickets are priced from $55 to $250.
Prospects fading for ‘Nightly News’ anchor’s return Many in the media business believe that the future looks bleak for suspended “NBC Nightly News” anchor Brian Williams. NBC News executives are in the midst of an internal review into Williams’ reporting, and it will be at least five more weeks before a decision is made on whether he returns.
Williams was benched in February after falsely stating that he was in a helicopter that was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade during the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq. Speculation that Williams is a goner heated up last weekend after several reports based on unnamed sources said NBC’s review
found numerous situations in which the anchor publicly embellished statements about his reporting. Some competitors even suggested that NBC was behind the leaks as a pressure tactic to get Williams to resign and let the network reduce or get out of its contractual obligation to pay him more than $50

Lifetime joining revival bandwagon for ‘Full House’ Lifetime says it’s joining in the ‘Full House’ revival with a behindthe-scenes movie of the long-running family sitcom. With the working title, “The Unauthorized Full House Story,” the film promises to unveil the pressures on cast members to balance the idyllic family life depicted on the show with the more complicated reality of their own real lives. The creative team behind the project also
produced Lifetime’s “The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story.” No cast or air date was announced for the film, which is in development. The news comes on the heels of Netflix’s announced plans for 13 episodes of “Fuller House,” a current-day reboot of the sitcom. The original “Full House” aired on ABC from 1987 to 1995, with stars including John Stamos and Bob Saget. Associated Press
