First Federal stock bid PT council weighs in already oversubscribed to Navy Peninsula thrift Letter will insist that more jets, West End tests are single issue

extends vote on going public BY PAUL GOTTLIEB

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — First Federal stock is so popular that it is already oversubscribed, with orders from “first tier” depositors — many of these longtime North Olympic Peninsula customers of the bank — for 12,167,000 shares of stock, the maximum the bank can offer. This guarantees that First Federal would gain about $121 million after costs as part of its planned jump from being a mutual, or depositor-owned, savings and loan to a bank owned by stockholders. But while voting for the proposal “is trending very positively” in favor of conversion, according to the CEO of 91-yearold First Federal, the bank isn’t ready yet to make the conversion or issue the stock at $10 a share.

Joyce Ruiz, chief administrative officer for First Federal, with Larry Hueth, First Fed’s CEO and president, during Tuesday’s meeting at the Red Lion Hotel in Port Angeles.

Vote extension In a surprise decision at a much-anticipated depositors’ meeting Tuesday, First Fed will continue to accept votes on the proposed conversion until Jan. 28. First Federal President and CEO Larry Hueth proposed the postponement at the meeting and also announced the sell-out of the stock orders. “While the votes received to date reflect strong support for the conversion, the holidays have delayed the process, and we have not yet received the votes of a significant number of our depositors,” Hueth told the meeting. Hueth said the conversion was such a major decision that First Federal wanted as many of its account-holders to vote as possible. He said he did not know how many ballots had been received since the start of the vote in late November. He said he did know that “close to 700

ballots” were received Monday. Almost 25,000 account-holders are eligible to vote. Only 59 account-holders attended Tuesday’s meeting.

Jan. 28 deadline Depositors will now have until 10 a.m. Jan. 28 to vote in person, by mail or online. Also eligible to vote on the conversion are the bank’s loan recipients. Until Jan. 28, the bank will remain as is, with no stock issued. Voting on the conversion began shortly before Thanksgiving and was to conclude at the meeting Tuesday. In addition to voting, account-holders had the option of ordering stock and paying for it by Dec. 16. Minimum order was 25 shares for $250, with purchases limited to 20,000 shares per person ($200,000) or 40,000 shares ($400,000) for

those acting together, such as a married couple or domestic partners. “I am happy to report that the offering has been oversubscribed,” Hueth said, adding that did not know “to what degree it exceeded” the 12 million shares available.

Long-term customers The $121 million paid for the stock is being held in escrow, pending the vote on the conversion. The available stock will go only to Tier 1 depositors, those with First Federal accounts as of March 31, 2011. They more than bought out the stock offering. Bank officials said many of these are long-term First Fed customers who live in Clallam and Jefferson counties. TURN

PORT TOWNSEND — The City Council is weighing in on a proposal to increase the number of Navy Growlers originating from Whidbey Island, criticizing the Navy’s process and connecting that proposal to electronic warfare testing on the West End. The council Monday night unanimously authorized Mayor David King and Councilwoman Michelle Sandoval to prepare a final version of the letter from a draft presented to the council. The deadline for public comment on the King Growler proposal is Friday. Growler activity has prompted noise complaints from residents of Port Townsend and other areas of the North Olympic Peninsula. “On behalf of the city of Port Townsend, we ask that all impacts of the Navy’s Electronic Warfare Testing and Training program be discussed in one comprehensive document,” the letter says.

Additional Growler jets The comments are on a proposal to add up to 36 EA-18G Growler jets to the 82 currently based at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, which is “to support an expanded Department of Defense mission for identifying, tracking and targeting in a complex electronic warfare environment,” according to the description at www.whidbeyeis.com. A draft environmental impact statement on the Growler proposal does not address the impact of the electronic warfare project. TURN

Legal Marijuana: Year 2 Begins Special report ■ Last of three parts

Lessons learned in first year of pot EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the last in a three-part series on effects of marijuana legalization in Washington state and Colorado. BY KRISTEN WYATT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

on’t worry about a federal lawsuit. But do worry about tax rates. Those are among the many lessons Colorado and Washington have to share from the front lines of America’s marijuana experiment.

Lesson one: Don’t be timid Public officials in the pioneering marijuana states were flatfooted when voters made pot legal. At first waiting for a possible federal lawsuit, then trying to fig-

ure out how to monitor and tax a product that had never been fully regulated anywhere in the world, the states spent many months coming up with rules for how the drug should be grown, sold and consumed. The delays were understandable. But they led to one of the biggest disappointments of the marijuana markets: lower-than-hopedfor tax collections.

plenty of asterisks and local variances. The states assumed that pot users would pay a steep premium to stop using drug dealers and have clean, safe stores in which to buy their weed. But the tax rates have led to a continuing black market, undercutting the top argument for legalizing in the first place. Months of delays for permitting and licensing meant that potential pot taxes went uncolLesson two: Don’t get lected.

using the drug the same way hippies in the 1960s did. But Washington and Colorado weren’t entirely prepared to deal with popular new forms of edible and concentrated weed. It took more than 18 months for Washington to begin sales of edible pot. Colorado had regulations for edible pot already in place from the medical market — but it stumbled, too, when the edibles proved a lot more popular than officials expected and many firsttimers weren’t sure how much to eat.

The Recording Academy announced Tuesday that Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson and Dylan Jack White will perform at the preGrammy event Feb. 6 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The star-studded gala will also include performances by Jackson Browne, Alanis Morissette, Neil Young, Beck, Norah Jones, the Black

Keys, Stills & Nash and John Mellencamp, among others. Past MusiCares Person of the Year honorees include Bono, Tony Bennett, Aretha Franklin, Billy Joel and Quincy Jones. The event is in its 25th year. The 57th annual Grammys Awards will take place Feb. 8 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The awards will air live on CBS.

$31 million recoup Sony Pictures’ “The Interview” has made more than $31 million from its online and on-demand release, according to the studio. Sony announced digital figures Tuesday for the film spanning its first 11 days of release since debuting Dec. 24. Sony had previously said the film made $15 million in its first four days online, so demand for the Seth Rogen comedy has slightly

declined as Sony has added more platforms. While $31 million constitutes the most lucrative digital release for a Hollywood film, “The Interview” stood to make more in a wide theatrical release. It had originally been forecast to earn about $30 million in its opening weekend alone. Still, the significant total represents a sizable recoup for Sony after the film appeared dead. After hackers the FBI have said are North Korean threatened violence in theaters showing the film, North America’s top theater chains pulled out of showing “The Interview,” and Sony canceled its release entirely. But a cobbled-together release in independent theaters and digital outlets has proven modestly successful. Playing in select theaters, “The Interview” has made about $5 million in two weeks.

Mexico chief calls on Obama THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama embarked on a new year of foreign policy by welcoming Mexico’s embattled president to the White House on Tuesday, seeking help to jump-start a new U.S. approach to immigration, Cuba and trade. Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto praised Obama’s executive action to shield from deportation some 4 million immigrants — most of them from his country — and his move to re-establish diplomatic ties with Cuba. Both presidents are hoping Congress will approve a new trade treaty that would involve countries stretching from Chile to Japan.

Quick Read

And they discussed a scandal that has sparked massive protests in the M e x i c a n streets and a smaller one in the snow outside the White Peña Nieto House as they met — the Sept. 26 abduction and presumed murder of 43 college students, allegedly at the hands of local officials and police in league with a drug cartel. Peña Nieto has drawn criticism for saying it was time to “move beyond” the case just weeks after their abduction and taking a

month to meet with their families. “We are very upset,” said Ivan Almonte, a 36-year-old Mexican who has been living in the United States for 16 years and was among demonstrators outside the White House. Obama told reporters at the end of their meeting that Americans have been following the tragedy that has raised concerns about security in Mexico. Obama said Peña Nieto described the reform program he’s initiating around the issues. “Our commitment is to be a friend and supporter of Mexico in its efforts to eliminate the scourge of violence and the drug cartels that are responsible for so much tragedy inside Mexico,” Obama said.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY supervisors offered a $25,000 reward Tuesday to help catch an attacker who shot and wounded three members of a family and kidnapped a 3-week-old girl who was later found dead in a trash bin near the Mexican border. The award for information leading to a capture and conviction comes a day after police said they had no leads and no motive for the Saturday attack in Long Beach that wounded the parents and uncle of Eliza Delacruz. On Sunday, a transient found the body of the 10-pound girl in a plastic bag stuffed in a dumpster 120 miles from the girl’s home.

The Bureau of Land Management announced a two-year restriction at Corona Arch and Gemini Bridges on Tuesday.

The ban comes after two people died in swing accidents in 2013, one at Corona Arch and the other in Day Canyon, about 7 miles west of Moab. YouTube videos helped the sport gain popularity.

He was found guilty of trading favors in return for $177,000 in loans, vacations and gifts from a wealthy family friend who was trying to promote his vitamin business. McDonnell was a Republican who once was considered a possible contender for the White House.

Without elaborating, Seoul’s Defense Ministry also said in a report that North Korea may also have gained the ability to strike the U.S. mainland because of its progress in missile technology demonstrated in recent longrange missile tests. North Korea has conducted three nuclear tests since 2006, and experts believe it has a handful of crude nuclear bombs.

Landslides plague W. Washington THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

First-place winners in Peninsula Daily News’ two online photo contests.

And the winners are . . .

Landslide threat

Lott said it was impossible to tell if the rockslide was caused by the blasting and drilling or a consequence of heavy rain in recent days in the area known for instability. A 40-year-old man in the SUV was treated for a minor injury at Kittitas Valley Healthcare hospital in Ellensburg. A 37-year-old man in the SUV was checked at the hospital as a precaution, State Patrol Trooper Darren Wright said. One truck and the SUV were totaled, the State Patrol said. The other truck was able to drive away. The “good-sized” rocks had been pushed to the side of the road, and the damaged vehicles had been removed by 9 a.m. But the westbound lanes remained closed as officials checked the safety of the scene. “It’s scary to have something big in the road when you come around a corner,” Wright said.

Hoquiam mudslides In Hoquiam, mudslides from a waterlogged hillside washed out the foundations of three homes, threatened others and forced the precautionary evacuation of about 60 nursing home residents Monday. Nearly 5.4 inches of rain fell in 24 hours, authorities said.

Quinault washouts The Quinault tribe said the main access road to the reservation, state Highway 109, is washed out and could take days to repair. The Moclips River flooded, and people living along the river were evacuated. They were taking refuge at the Quinault Beach Resort and Casino in Ocean Shores. There are no reports of injuries on the reservation.

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

The most festive pet on the North Olympic Peninsula is a 4-year-old golden retriever named Marley. And Seattle Seahawks spirit is booming on the Peninsula. Just ask a youngster named Mason. A photo of Marley sporting a colorful Christmas collar in front of a cozy fireplace won first place

in our online Holiday Photos with Pets contest. It taken by Lindsey Marsaw of Port Angeles. Kimberly Springfield of Port Angeles took a photo she dubbed “12th Man Loud and Proud” of young Mason cheering on the Seahawks at CenturyLink Field to place first in our 12th Fan online photo contest. The two photo contests — you can see the winning photographs and all the entries at www. peninsuladailynews.com — were co-sponsored with the Sequim Gazette and Forks Forum weekly newspapers and local businesses that provided gifts for the winners. The winners were picked in voting by online readers. The holiday pets contest drew

45 photos and 474 online votes. The 12th Fan contest had 37 Seahawks-inspired photos featuring Clallam and Jefferson County residents cheering on their favorite team; they drew a total of 563 votes. Marsaw’s first-place prize was from Wilder Auto in Port Angeles — a Seahawks-themed dog bed and additional dog goodies including a Seahawk sweater, beef jerky, dog toys, a water/food bowl, a travel pet water bottle, a car harness and a travel pad. Springfield won a $100 gift certificate for service from Wilder Auto and other items provided by the auto dealership including a Russell Wilson poster, a Seahawks blanket, a microfiber

Landslide danger remains high in Western Washington because of the heavy rain that fell Sunday and Monday in a storm. The National Weather Service said the danger will diminish over the next several days. Landslides closed highways in several counties. A landslide at Hoquiam knocked three houses off their foundations, and the Quinault tribe declared an emergency because of landslides and washouts on its reservation. The westbound lanes of I-90 were closed at Easton and Ellensburg. The rockslide came down west of the old snow shed that was removed last April, state Transportation spokeswoman Meagan Lott said. It was in the same area where there has been a lot of blasting in recent years and where bolts have been drilled to secure the rock face. It’s part of a project to improve the interstate over the mountain pass, especially for winter travel.

AN EXTR TAKE A

SNOQUALMIE PASS — Westbound lanes of Interstate 90 at Snoqualmie Pass reopened late Tuesday afternoon after rocks earlier rolled down a slope and were hit by three vehicles. The lanes were reopened after a geotechnical expert who checked the area said it was sufficiently stable with the addition of a concrete barrier to deflect any new falling rocks. The rocks that came down before 5 a.m. Tuesday about six miles east of the summit were hit by two trucks and an SUV. One man was treated for a minor injury. Eastbound traffic was not affected.

Lawmaker’s proposal on medical pot THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE — A leading Republican lawmaker has a novel proposal for reining in Washington’s unregulated medical pot industry: medical pot shops that don’t sell what most people think of as pot. A bill being filed this week by Sen. Ann Rivers would create licenses for medical marijuana dispensaries and require product testing that’s at least as strict as what the state requires in its recreational marijuana stores. But the medical stores could only sell edibles and marijuana concentrates, such as oil — no dried bud. The bill says that’s because of the health risks of smoking marijuana, though it doesn’t specify what those risks are. Officials worry medical dispensaries are undermin________ ing sales at recreational Senior Staff Writer Paul Gottlieb can be reached at 360-452-2345, stores.

PORT TOWNSEND — Laurence Kerr, a retired diplomat and former lecturer in Strategic History at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C., will present a series of three talks titled “The Great War: End of a Civilization” at the Port Townsend Library Learning Center, 1256 Lawrence St., today, Jan. 14 and Jan. 21. The programs begin at 6:30 p.m. The series begins with a discussion of the causes of the war considering the rise in German power and ambition, the inevitability of conflict following mobilization and the fragility of peace in a structure driven by kings and small elites. Lecture one ends with a description of the first months of the war, the battle of the Marne and the events of Christmas 1914. The second program covers the war in the trenches and battles of the Marne, the Somme, Verdun, Gallip-

entry into the war, the role of the doughboys in the war’s military endgame and the Treaty of Versailles. The German actions that brought the U.S. into the fight, including the

sinking of the Lusitania and the Zimmerman telegram, will be considered, as well as America’s new role as a world power. For more information, phone 360-344-4608.

JOHN EDWARD ‘JOHNNY’ HOFFSTATER September 21, 1955 December 30, 2014 John Edward “Johnny” Hoffstater, 59, of Marrowstone Island passed away on December 30 following a brave and humble fight with cancer. He was in his home surrounded by his three daughters and family. He was born in Seattle, Washington, on September 21, 1955, to John and Marilyn Hoffstater.

Johnny graduated from Bainbridge Island High School in 1974 and was a respected heavy-equipment operator, demolition derby driver and go-to guy when anyone was in need. He moved to Marrowstone Island with his four children in 1989 and quickly became an integral part of the island community. He left an imprint on the island both with his genuine, warm-hearted presence along with his ability to transform landscapes with his talented backhoe skills.

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS for Wednesday, January 7, 2015 PAGE

Wet, dark and . . . did I say wet? SOMETIMES I HATE being right. As a responsible wilderness gossip columnist, it’s my job to report the news, innuendo and rumors that other so-called respectable news sources don’t have the guts to touch with a 10-foot pole. This is in reference to the Pat winter forecast Neal humbly made in this column last September. Based as it was on the early arrival of migratory waterfowl, an infestation of spiders, fog, the thickness of corn husks, spruce cones and my own pungent observations as a guide who spends more than 500 days a year on the water, this winter was predicted to be unusually cold, dark and wet. Sure enough, this winter is so wet that I had to get a new rain gauge. My old rain gauge — a rubber boot left strategically outside — filled up with water and fell over before an accurate measurement could be taken. It’s been raining so hard that the old-timers have been wondering if it’s time to start building a

really big boat and gathering the animals two by two. In the beginning, God sent a Pineapple Express that lasted 40 days and 40 nights. After the record flood levels, God set a rainbow in the sky as a promise that he wouldn’t drown the Earth, no matter how much measurable precipitation was recorded. Ever since that time, being wet is cool. In fact, if it doesn’t rain, you won’t see a rainbow. Without rain, there would be no rivers. And without rivers, I cannot fish. Unfortunately, too much rain lately has made the rivers too high to fish. Without fishing, my life has no meaning. My entire universe comes crashing down. It’s a theory-of-relativity thing. A person can go to a job he hates, where one shift seems to last for two days. The same person can start fishing at daylight, then act confused when it seems to be getting dark. That’s because the sun went down. Call it a coincidence or a guide’s intuition, but lately I started noticing that it gets mighty dark after the sun goes down.

ELAINE THOMPSON/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This time of year, you can see a hawk in the field: In this case, Seattle Seahawks mascot, Taima, flying the length of CenturyLink Field at the start of a game. It’s all part of being a guide, to share the wisdom of my years of experience in a way that enables a responsible stewardship of the ecosystem as a whole. Without fishing, each day of my miserable existence becomes a long dreary exercise in a weary futility that stretches to a bleak and limitless horizon. Lately, in desperation because of the rain, I’ve found myself in what many consider the modern opiate of the masses — a recliner, set in front of a football game on TV. I remember hearing a vague rumor out on the river about sea hawks having a good chance of getting into the playoffs, whatever those are.

Peninsula Voices Navy alternatives I am responding to Capt. Michael Nortier’s opinion regarding Growler traffic over the Peninsula from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island [“What the Navy Plans to Do,” Point of View, Dec. 26]. I take exception to the captain’s assertion that “these are not low-altitude flights, and most go unnoticed as our crews train in these areas today.” It appears the captain is talking about the current flights because he says “as our crews train in these areas today.” He says “most” go unnoticed. Is that just a little more than half? To West Enders and those of us under their flightpaths to/from the West End (like my neigh-

borhood), it is the invasive racket of the other just under half of the flights that are of concern. And what about the future? The environmental assessment says a purpose of the electronic warfare range is to provide “for growth in future training requirements.” More flights? Louder jets? More noise? There really are not question marks here. This has been precisely the history of what’s happened on Whidbey Island. The captain is seriously missing any concern for our health and well being. I know the Navy tries to protect us, and it needs to train. But the Navy has alternatives. It is already doing this

OUR

I didn’t know it was baseball season. That shows what I know about professional sports. All I know for sure is that whoever moves the ball and scores the most points wins the game. As long as our beloved Seahawks are winning, people abandon the river to watch their games on TV. And if what that famous French philosopher said was true — that “hell is other fishermen” — then having the Seahawks in the playoffs on the way to the Super Bowl would be a slice of heaven. Forget about other people fishing the rivers during the playoffs. There will be no one.

Fishing can be like life: About the time one boat sinks, another one floats by to pick you up. Steelhead fishing may not be a matter of life and death. It’s probably much more important than that. Now if it would only stop raining. Think snow. Go Hawks!

This may come as a great surprise to the readers who dislike Michelle Malkin’s column so intensely they want it eliminated [“Malkin Disliked,” Peninsula Voices, Jan. 4], but I can’t believe the Peninsula Daily News is published simply to please them.

Savor the little gifts from others I’VE NEVER BEEN the kind of person who can wait to open a gift that arrives a week early. Certainly not a Little Christmas gift. Little Christmas falls on Jan. 6. More commonly known in the rest of the world as the Feast of the Epiphany (admittedly, I have no idea what this means), in our house it meant the official end of the holiday season. And likely why it felt like my mother’s favorite day of the year. That’s the funny thing about growing up: your parents hardly realize which look in their eyes is going to be one of those impressive ones their kids will remember forever. Anyway, we saved our smallest-sized gift to open on Little Christmas. Then, after the oohing and aahing, the tree came down —

the greenish blue stones are aquamarine. The wires are sterling silver. They are the sort of earrings you would wear to, let’s see, a Feast of the Epiphany! Should you ever be invited to one. My friend Lena has always had the gift of timing. This was true even when we shared a room in college. She was the one who remembered to whip out the Visine when we had to sneak by our dorm monitor past curfew. Now, Lena remembers my mother used to give me a new pair of earrings on Little Christmas. I put the earrings on right away. I pulled my hair back in a ponytail so I could show them off. I wore them to Safeway! I wore them to the gym! I’m also thinking about when,

as a freshman, I had the flu and it was Lena who made me tea. The strongest sensation I remember isn’t how sick I felt, or even the fear I shouldered because it was the first week of the semester and I was terrified to fall behind, but the way I felt under Lena’s care. When we’re young we assume there will be so many of these totally-supportive, extra-cushioned moments, too many to recall, until we realize that there aren’t so many, really. Now, you may think it overly sentimental for me to ask you to be sure to savor each generosity you receive in 2015, but you’d be wrong. Because I totally get that what we remember are the kindnesses we receive from friends when we need them the most. I tried to be better at this sort of savoring last year, but it can

Former Sequim auto dealer pleads to meth distribution PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

SEQUIM — The former owner of the Sellin’ Style used-car dealership in Sequim has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, according to Acting U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes. Timothy P. Smith, 30, was arrested last February following a high-speed chase. He pleaded guilty last week. All of Smith’s charged coconspirators, Kelsey J. Davis, Tammy R. Coburn, Holli A. Bell, Jacob E. Davis and Charles D. Aslin, have also pleaded guilty in the case. Smith faces a mandatory minimum 10 years in prison and up to life imprisonment when sentenced by U.S. District Judge Robert J. Bryan on March 27. According to records in the case, Smith and his cohorts were under investigation by federal law enforcement beginning in 2011. In particular, federal prosecutors said, Smith sold

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

meth to a person working with law enforcement on multiple occasions in June, July and August 2013 at his car dealership on Old Blyn Highway east of Sequim. In conjunction with a separate investigation and takedown of a larger drug ring, which was supplying meth to Smith and others, agents arrested Smith as he traveled back to Sequim from Kitsap County on Feb. 23, 2014. Shortly after his vehicle crossed the Hood Canal Bridge, the State Patrol pulled the car over. After initially stopping, the car sped away, traveling at speeds nearing 100 mph and weaving into the lane for oncoming traffic. Troopers noticed white bags tossed from the car; inside was 1.6 pounds of meth, federal prosecutors said. The car hit one set of spike strips and continued on. After hitting a second set of spike strips, the car came

to a halt, and Smith and his girlfriend, Kelsey Davis, were taken into custody. Davis had $4,000 in cash on her person, which she revealed in a monitored jail call to have been given to her by Smith during the police chase, prosecutors said. The case was investigated by the FBI; federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and the Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team (OPNET), a task force containing officers from the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Port Angeles Police Department, Sequim Police Department, Neah Bay Department of Public Safety, Elwha Klallam police, LaPush police, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Border Patrol, state Department of Corrections, Washington State Patrol and West Sound Narcotics Enforcement Team (WestNet). The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory A. Gruber.

Course offers Beast Mode AFTER A VACATION that more resembled an extended sick leave, I’m back with golf information and insights. My plans were to write the Michael second half of Carman my year in review column while I was away but I was leveled by a potent cold/ flu combination. Thankfully I hadn’t planned or paid for any long trips or outings, and instead spent the vast majority of the vacation quarantined watching college football bowl games and the NFL playoffs. Now, with the Seattle Seahawks revving back up after a week off and set to begin their playoff run on Saturday, at least one North Olympic Peninsula course is going “Beast Mode.” SunLand Golf & Country Club in Sequim is open to public play on weekends and now through the end of January, the course is offering a “Beast Mode” package on Saturdays and Sundays. Golfers can play the 18-hole course with a cart for $24 (plus tax), the uniform number of arguably the most beloved Seahawk, “Beast Mode” himself, Marshawn Lynch. The course also is presenting a Marshawn Lynch jersey drawing contest. Golfers who purchase a “Beast Mode” package receive five entries in the drawing. Another entry is earned for every $12 spent in the club’s pro shop and for each “Like” of SunLand’s Facebook page. The drawing is set for 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31, a mere 24 hours from kickoff of Super Bowl XLIX. My main man Russell Wilson says it best, “Go Hawks!”

Irvin in attack mode Embracing linebacker mentality BY JOHN BOYLE THE [EVERETT] DAILY HERALD

RENTON — Bruce Irvin is discussing his second season as a linebacker, talking about how he has finally accepted that he is no longer a defensive end, when Cliff Avril interrupts from the next locker over. “He ain’t bought in all the way,” Avril says with a laugh. A n d Next Game Avril is right, as Saturday much as vs. Panthers Irvin has at CenturyLink i m p r o v e d Time: 5:15 p.m. as a line- On TV: Ch. 13 backer this year, he is still in many ways a defensive end at heart, putting the act of hitting a quarterback above all else. “I’ll always be a D-lineman at heart, but [linebacker] is fun,” said Irvin, who was drafted in the first round as an end in 2012, but moved to strongside linebacker last year. In fact, Irvin who had 6.0 sacks this season while splitting time between linebacker and pass rusher, says he’d still take a sack over an interception return for a touchdown. It is a play that is the holy grail for many defensive players, and something Irvin has two of this year, including one

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bruce Irvin, right, returns an interception for a touchdown against the St. Louis Rams in Seattle on Sunday, Dec. 28. in Seattle’s Week 17 win over St. Louis that clinched the NFC West title. “That was fun, but I’d rather have a sack though,” he said. “I’d rather have two sacks. I’d take one and a half sacks over them two touchdowns. I need them sacks, man. I need ‘em. I need ‘em, man.” But even if the pass-rushing element of his job is still Irvin’s first love, he is embracing his role at linebacker in a way he didn’t in 2013. It wasn’t that Irvin was bad

Edgar Martinez denied yet again in bid for baseball Hall of Fame

SkyRidge Golf Course in Sequim will host a Midwinter Open threeperson scramble on Saturday. The event has a 9 a.m. shotgun start (barring frost), which leaves plenty of time to wrap the round in advance of the Seahawks 5:15 p.m. kickoff. Each team in the scramble must have a total team handicap of 15 or higher. Every player will be responsible for three drives and three second shots. Range balls, chances at two KP’s, a team LP, a later afternoon lunch and green fees are included in the $90 per team fee. Power carts are an extra $15 per seat. An optional honey pot is $60 per team or $20 per player also is available.

good game. So that was the biggest thing for me was to try to stay consistent, and I think I’ve done that pretty well this year.” Irvin said the biggest change has been “Just studying more. I wasn’t too sold on becoming a ‘backer, because I was a D-end all my life. So I really didn’t buy in last year like I was supposed to. But this year, I took it more seriously, I guess you could say, studying my craft, trying to correct my mistakes.”

A fierce challenge arises at Cedars at Dungeness in Sequim, the 22nd annual return of the course’s Polar Bear Championship from Friday, Jan. 23 to Sunday, Jan. 25. The tournament begins with a practice round of golf that Friday, followed by play on Saturday and Sunday. Players with a USGA handicap index of 27.0 or lower can enter the 36-hole individual stroke play event in any of three amateur divisions, while PGA professionals or apprentices can join the professional division. Cost is $140 per person and includes the Friday practice round, range balls on Saturday and Sunday, tee prize and green fees, plus lunch on Sunday. A total of $5,000 in prizes will be available based on a field of 100 players. Entry deadline is Monday, Jan. 19. Phone Cedars at 360-683-6344 or stop by the course.

last season, but he didn’t have the impact he has had this season. He is playing well against the run, making plays in coverage, making the right pre-snap adjustments, all while still getting those cherished sacks as a pass rusher. “I feel like I’ve made a significant stride to becoming a good, consistent ‘backer,” Irvin said. “The biggest thing with me was just being consistent.

Randy Johnson was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame Tuesday with 97.3 percent of the vote.

SEATTLE — The National Baseball Hall of Fame will be clearing space in July for the Big Unit, but the wait continues for Edgar Martinez, the man who so defined the role of designated hitter that baseball’s annual DH award bears his name. Left-handed pitcher Randy Johnson, who spent 10 of his 22 seasons with the Mariners, was elected Tuesday along with Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz, and Craig Biggio in voting announced by the Hall of Fame. The four will be formally inducted in a July 26 ceremony at the Clark Sports Center near the Hall of Fame museum in Cooperstown, N.Y. The Hall, which opened in 1936, now consists of 310 elected members. Johnson, 51, was tagged the Big Unit because of his intimidating 6-foot-10 presence and becomes the first Hall of Fame member who spent a substantial portion of his career with the Mariners. “I enjoyed it despite what a

lot of people [thought],” he said. “I wasn’t out there smiling and laughing a lot, but I enjoyed the competition. I tried to make it last as long as I could. “Playing 22 years on the major-league level is something I never would have imagined.” Johnson received 97.3 percent of the 549 returned ballots, which is the eighth-highest percentage total in history. Election requires a candidate be named on 75 percent (406) of the returned ballots. For Edgar Martinez, the balloting results extended his disappointment to a sixth year, but he will be eligible again next year after being cited on 27 percent of returned ballots. Candidates who get at least 5 percent of the vote remain on the ballot for the following year. Candidates can remain eligible for up to 10 years, which means Martinez could have four more chances. “Hands down, he is the best pure hitter that I ever got to see,” Johnson said. TURN

Panthers still alive despite troubles BY STEVE REED THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Panthers coach Ron Rivera said he’s never experienced a season like this one since he joined the NFL 30 years ago. Carolina’s journey to the NFC divisional playoffs has included quarterback Cam Newton flipping his truck and being hospitalized with two fractures in his lower back, franchise defensive end Greg Hardy being convicted on two counts of domestic violence, and Rivera’s house catching fire and causing $500,000 worth of the damage five days before the biggest game of his coaching career. “It has been different,”

NFL Playoffs Rivera said. “You can’t make this stuff up.” There’s been nothing ordinary or predictable about the Panthers on the field, either.

Overcame awful start Carolina became the first NFL team to go more than two months without a victory and reach the playoffs. The Panthers won the NFC South despite a 7-8-1 record. And last Saturday, a defense that gave up 35 or more points in four of its first seven games held Arizona to 78 yards in the wild-card round, the fewest ever

allowed in the NFL postseason. Safety Roman Harper said he wasn’t expecting this type of adventure in his first season in Carolina. The Panthers visit Seattle (12-4) on Saturday with a trip to the NFC championship game on the line. “It isn’t the prettiest thing, but we got a date to the prom at the end of the day,” Harper said, laughing. “We’re here. She’s probably not the best-looking one; she’s not going to win prom queen, but we’ll have a good time.” The Panthers aren’t apologizing for their record. In fact, in some ways they believe the season has toughened them and left them ready

for the postseason. They had to win their last four games, including a road finale blowout of Atlanta, just to qualify for the playoffs. Newton has fought through ankle and rib injuries and the back fractures, and he has the Panthers on a five-game winning streak. Rivera is already hunkered down preparing for Seattle while his wife handles the details of where he’ll live for the next 6-8 months while their burned-out home is rebuilt. Hardy still isn’t eligible to play, but his absence paved the way for fellow defensive end Charles Johnson. TURN

Brady plays down playoff struggles with Ravens BY HOWARD ULMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The last time Tom Brady faced the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs, he threw interceptions on the New England Patriots’ final two drives. In their three playoff matchups, he lost twice. All those games were at Gillette Stadium, where the postseason rivals meet Saturday for the fourth time in six years. Brady says none of that history will matter when he takes his first snap in the divisional playoff on the path to what he hopes will be his fourth straight AFC title game. “I don’t think that’s really useful,” the quarterback said Tuesday. “We can’t change what has happened. You just have to move forward and you have to think about the things that we’ve done

really well this year.” That would be: Going 12-4 and earning the top seed in the AFC. Scoring the fourth most points in the NFL. Having a strong defense with outstanding cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner. Leadership from a quarterback with the fifth best passer rating. And production from a tight end, Rob Gronkowski, with the most receptions for anyone at his position and excellent blocking ability. “We’ve put ourselves in a good position,” Brady said after returning to practice following a firstround bye. “We’ve just got to take advantage of it.” They didn’t do that in two of their three playoff games against the Ravens. Their postseason rivalry began with Baltimore’s 33-14 wild-card win in the 2009 season. Two years later, New England won 23-20 to advance to the Super

Bowl, where it lost to the New York Giants. In Brady’s second consecutive AFC championship matchup with the Ravens on Jan. 20, 2013, the Patriots lost 28-13 after leading 13-7 at halftime. Those three games were hardly Brady’s best: a total of three touchdown passes, seven interceptions and a 56.1 completion percentage. Those three playoff games might make for some pretty ugly viewing, but watching film of them might provide useful tips. “It’s the same [defensive] coordinator so a lot of the scheme stuff you see how he [Dean Pees] tried to defend us back then,” Brady said. “We’re a different team now, too, so I think the more information the better. “They’re a different team.” Fiery linebacker Terrell Suggs is still around for the Ravens (116) and had an interception in last

Saturday’s 30-17 wild-card win over Pittsburgh. And he’s no fan of Brady’s, having criticized him for complaining to officials. But four days before their most important game of the season, both downplayed any differences. “He’s phenomenal,” Brady said. “We’ve never really talked a lot on the field. We’ve never really talked much off the field either. So, it’s the way it goes, but he’s a great player.” Suggs had a simple explanation for how he views Brady. “He’s a quarterback. I’m a defender. He’s got a job to do and so do I, so naturally there are going to be some disagreements there,” he said Tuesday. “Nobody’s really worried about what happened in the past. The only thing we’re worrying about is this game.” The Ravens were second in the NFL with 49 sacks, led by Elvis

Dumervil with 17 and Suggs with 12. But they’re 24th in pass defense and tied for 25th with 11 interceptions The Patriots offensive line should be back intact after left guard Dan Connolly missed the last two games with a knee injury. “It’s a lot of pressure on us to do a good job,” Connolly said. “It’s our job to make sure Tom stays upright.” In beating the Steelers, the Ravens sacked Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethslisberger five times/ The Patriots got back to work on Tuesday, working out in pads after five days without practice. “It’s been great for everybody to get your body a chance to take a little break and heal up a little bit,” Brady said. “This is a first step for us. A lot of teams played last week. We didn’t get a chance to do that.” His next chance to beat the Ravens is just a few days away.

Johnson finished his career with 4,875 strikeouts which, perhaps ironically, ranks second in majorleague history to Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5,714 over a 27-year career from 1966-93. But Johnson ranks first all-time in strikeouts per nine innings at 10.610.

Grew up in Seattle Johnson often characterizes his time in Seattle as a evolutionary period not only in his professional development but also as a city that rounded out his personality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I listened to all types of music,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and, obviously, when I got to Seattle, I was very much aware of the music scene there.â&#x20AC;? Even so, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last. Johnson was 130-74 with a 3.42 ERA in 274 games for the Mariners before they sent him to Houston in a July 31, 1998 trade for infielder Carlos Guillen and pitchers Freddy Garcia and John Halama. The trade, primarily, stemmed from financial reasons. Johnson was in line to become a free agent after the season and the Mariners, a year earlier, indicated they were unwilling to spend the money neces-

sary to retain him. The New York Yankees wanted Johnson and, in 1997, offered a promising young reliever then in his first season as their closer: Mariano Rivera. The Mariners declined because they wanted starting pitchers to replace Johnson. By late December 1997, Johnson was chafing at the Marinersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; inability to swing a deal and the prospect of entering the next season in limbo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The Mariners] are asking for a lot,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With [the Yankees], they are asking for a couple of players and the Statue of Liberty. And Cleveland, they are asking for a couple of players and Jacobs Field. The situation deteriorated further and the Mariners and Johnson performed poorly through the early months of the 1998 season. And in early July, Johnson engaged in a clubhouse scuffle with first baseman David Segui. Finally, just minutes before the July 31 trade deadline, the Astros and Mariners reached an agreement after the Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dropped their demand that pitcher Scott Elarton be included in the deal. Reaction in Seattle wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t positive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three kids with no reputations,â&#x20AC;? Griffey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They would get a bag of balls if they traded me.â&#x20AC;? Johnson spent just two months with Houston before signing a four-year contract with Arizona for

$53.4 million. The Diamondbacks went on to capture the 2001 World Series when Johnson won three games against the Yankees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two starts and and 1 1/3 innings of relief in the decisive seventh game. Johnson spent six years in Arizona and threw a perfect game in 2004 before going to the Yankees in a January 2005 trade. He returned two years later to the Diamondbacks, where he pitched two seasons before ending his career in 2009 with San Francisco. Time healed Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s riff with the Mariners, and he was inducted into the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hall of Fame in a 2012 ceremony along with catcher Dan Wilson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is Randyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first stop,â&#x20AC;? Wilson said at the time, â&#x20AC;&#x153;on the way to Cooperstown.â&#x20AC;? Johnson deflected a question Tuesday regarding what clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cap would appear on his plaque. The Hall of Fame makes that decision after consulting with the player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just kind of celebrating the 22 years that I played,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and being inducted into the Hall of Fame. That question is out of my control. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a Hall of Fame decision at this point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll cross that bridge in the next couple of days from what I understand.â&#x20AC;? Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest career success came in Arizona but, for many in the Northwest, he is forever identified as a Mariner.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seattle was just a wonderful time in my career,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had the ability to play with Edgar Martinez and Jay Buhner and Omar Vizquel and Ken Griffey Jr. To finally do something as a team in 1995 was pretty special.â&#x20AC;?

Others elected Pedro Martinez, like Johnson, cruised to election in his first year on the ballot at 91.1 percent. Martinez, 43, was 219100 with a 2.93 ERA in 18 years with five clubs. He was an All-Star in eight seasons and won the Cy Young Award on three occasions. Smoltz, 47, also gained election in his first year by garnering 82.9 percent. He was 213-155 with a 3.33 ERA in a 21-year career spent primarily with Atlanta. He was an eighttime All-Star and a Cy Young Award winner. He pitched four seasons as a reliever and compiled 154 saves, including 55 in 2002. Smoltz elevated his performance in postseason in compiling a 15-4 record and a 2.67 ERA in 41 games. Biggio, 49, received 82.7 percent in his third year on the ballot after falling just two votes short a year ago. He spent his entire 20-year career with Houston and compiled a .281/.363/.433 slash in 2050 games. He was a seven-time AllStar who won four Gold Gloves and five Silver Slugger awards.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really excited, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to do it all. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be rushing the passer, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be playing the run, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be buzzing to the flats, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be flying around.â&#x20AC;? But it took time for Irvin to not just learn how to be a linebacker, but also to embrace the change. And after a second season at his new position, Irvin is starting to look more and more like that player Norton described 15 months ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just trying to be consistent,â&#x20AC;? Irvin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Talent is cool, but when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re team canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t depend on you to be at the right spot or depend on you to make certain plays, that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean nothing. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my biggest thing, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just trying to be dependable, man. Let these guys know that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be there when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m supposed to be there.â&#x20AC;? Perhaps most encouraging for both the Seahawks and Irvin is that there is

still room for growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always thought he was a really versatile football player,â&#x20AC;? Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using him in a way that allows him to use all of his stuff. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really quick, he can run really fast, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really natural cover guy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember he was a safety in junior college, so he has all of the skills that you want. So we think that at the [strongside] â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;backer spot, we can use all that and still get him as a feature third-down guy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just continues to develop. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a couple more years at really growing at the position before heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll really reach the top of his game.â&#x20AC;?

UFC fighter Jon Jones failed test before fight THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has entered drug treatment, the mixed martial arts promotion says. The UFC announced Tuesday that Jones failed a random drug test last month. The Nevada Athletic Commission says Jones tested positive for the main

metabolite of cocaine, according to Yahoo Sports. Benzoylecgonine is not banned by the commission for out-of-competition use, so Jones wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t penalized or suspended. Jones defeated Daniel Cormier by unanimous decision at UFC 182 in Las Vegas last Saturday night. The 27-year-old Jones (21-1) is considered the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best pound-forpound MMA fighter.

DEAR ABBY: My sister has been seeing a married man for two years. He has told her the only reason he is staying in this loveless marriage is for his daughter (standard lie of a cheating husband). His wife found out midway through this “relationship” but forgave him when he swore he would stop, which of course he didn’t. When I told my sister how wrong this relationship is and that she deserves better, I ended up alienating her. I have recently learned that his wife just had a second child, and my sister is pregnant, too. I’m sick to my stomach with all of this. I told her how crazy her situation is, but she refuses to see how horrible “the man she loves” really is. She says she is fine raising this child alone and that if her lover is in their lives, then she will be satisfied with that. I am the only one freaking out about this. How do I deal with it and not totally lose my sister? Freaking Out in Illinois

I have talked to Brent about it a Van Buren few times, and he said she’s been this way his whole life. Is this normal behavior? Am I overreacting? I have a daughter, and I don’t get naked in front of her. How do I approach this without causing hurt feelings? Covered Up in the Midwest

Abigail

Dear Covered Up: Obviously, in the household that your husband was raised, this behavior was normal. I am puzzled, however, that your mother-in-law needs help getting in and out of the shower. What are the “boys” supposed to do — scrub her back? Because her nudity makes you uncomfortable, the most tactful way to approach this would be for Brent to explain to his mother that you were not raised this way and that you both would appreciate it if she’d wear a robe when you’re around. It’s worth a try. Dear Abby: If I sit at the end of a pew in church and someone comes in after me insisting I move because it’s his/her “favorite” seat, should I do it or ask the person to sit somewhere else? Got Here First in Pennsylvania

Dear Abby: I am 30, and my husband, “Brent,” is 35. We have had some financial troubles lately and recently had to move in with my mother-in-law. My question is, how old should a child be before his mother quits walking around naked in front of him? My mother-in-law still walks around completely nude in front of Brent and his 39-year-old brother. Although she is in good health, she always seems to need Brent’s help getting in and out of the shower. She also parades nude in front of me, and it makes me very uncomfortable.

You will receive benefits that will boost your confidence and encourage you to apply your talents and skills to positions you may not have considered in the past. Love is highlighted. 3 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t worry about what kind of response you’ll get. Be up-front, ask for what you want and negotiate a fair deal. Someone you least expect will offer you help if you are willing to make the first move. 3 stars
