OSO MUDSLIDE

Year later, emotions high By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

OSO — A year of grief. By Sunday, families will have lived a full cycle of birthdays and holidays without the 43 people

who died in Snohomish County’s worst disaster. Those most affected by the Oso mudslide have the chance to gather Sunday at sacred ground, at a sacred time. They’re calling it a remembrance.

“Sometimes I feel like March 22, 2014 was yesterday. At other times I feel like March 22, 2014 was years ago,” said Dayn Brunner, whose sister, Summer Raffo, was killed in the slide as she drove on Highway 530. “For

me, it’s a milestone. Emotions are running high with a lot of people.” In the Stillaguamish Valley, Ground Zero is the area that used See SLIDE, Page A2

ARRINGTON — Simple sounds — the snap of a pencil, a drip in the sink — take Riley Brunner back a year to a wet wasteland of massive gray dunes and ravaged homes. That is what the debris fields west of town seemed like to him: a vast desert of despair.

At 16, and 130 pounds soaking wet, Riley was a Darrington High School junior and one of the youngest searchers after the March 22 Oso mudslide. That first afternoon, Summer Raffo he tromped through the mire alongside his dad, Dayn, and younger brother, Zack, looking for their

Dayn Brunner and his son Riley, 17, pose for a photo at Darrington High School on March 12. Dayn’s sister, Summer Raffo, was one of the 43 victims of the Oso mudslide. Dayn and Riley spent five days searching the debris field before finding Summer in her car, hands still on the steering wheel. Dayn spent a total of 39 days searching through the mud for other victims.

OLYMPIA — Special districts that don’t file financial reports with the state auditor each year as required could be barred from spending the tax dollars they collect. A bill passed by the state House would prevent county treasurers from releasing money to any special purpose district that has failed to turn in its mandated annual report. Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina, wrote the bill in response to an analysis issued in January showing that every year hundreds of small special districts, including several in Snohomish County, don’t turn in information. Hunter said he spoke with state auditor Troy Kelley before drafting House Bill 2084. It passed 85-15 on March 10. “Governments should be transparent in how they raise money and how they spend it,” said Hunter, who is chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. “He can’t audit them if he doesn’t have access to the information.” A 1909 state law requires every local government to file a financial report with the State Auditor’s Office within 150 days of the end of the particular district’s fiscal year. About one-third of Washington’s 1,956 fire, sewer, diking, drainage, cemetery and other special purpose districts struggle to fully comply each year. Kelley’s analysis found 31 districts in Snohomish County and 580 others in Washington either did not file annual reports covering the 2013 fiscal year, or turned them in late or incomplete.

to be the Steelhead Haven neighborhood. A moment of silence is planned there at 10:37 a.m. to coincide with the exact time that Hazel Hill crumbled on the opposite bank of the river. The event is not open to the general public. Authorities plan to close the surrounding stretch of Highway 530 for the memorial, from 9 a.m. to noon. They’re asking airplane and helicopter pilots to avoid the area out of respect for the mourners. The observance includes an honor guard and a color guard, with a bell tolling for the lives lost. Planning has been sensitive. Marking the first year will hold special significance for survivors, said Karla Vermeulen, deputy director of the Institute for Disaster Mental Health at State University of New York at New Paltz. “It’s more than symbolic.

There’s something very real about that: ‘I’ve gone through an entire cycle without the person,’ ” Vermeulen said. “It’s not just the emotional loss of your spouse or your child, it’s also the personal changes in your life that this brought about.” The ceremony will be different from ones that will come in five or 10 years. Over time, the focus often shifts from the dead to the living. Vermeulen said she observed that later anniversaries following the April 19, 1995, Oklahoma City bombing included picnics, concerts and fun runs. While healing progresses, it’s never complete. “There is no such thing as closure,” Vermeulen said. “People don’t spend a year in mourning and then reach some magical moment where they’ve put the loss behind them.” Observing the first year since the disaster can be therapeutic for some. For others, it will be a difficult

time when emotions come welling up. “They often do cause an increase in distress, because it focuses on the loss,” Vermeulen said. Not everyone will attend. That’s normal. Survivors might prefer to spend time with family, in private. Others might opt for a vacation. Some might feel as though they’ve been grieving every day, and see no need to set aside another day. Grief counselors advise people to make their own choices. “Don’t feel obligated to participate in something that you don’t feel right about,” Vermeulen said. “With these collective events, there’s almost that pressure to attend the public ceremony.” Until February, a few different groups had been making separate preparations for Sunday. Snohomish County got involved to help coordinate the varying plans. It was a

complex process and not all families agreed on the best way to go about it. “Family members are at different stages of the grieving and healing process,” County Executive John Lovick said. “We have to respect that.” Feelings remain as raw as the mile-wide scar the mudslide left through the valley. For many survivors, so do circumstances. As they struggle to cope with their sorrow, some are still fighting to right themselves financially, even to find permanent housing. The county changed the program for Sunday’s remembrance several times last week, trying to balance competing desires. One rift opened over the extent to include not just families, but emergency workers. While one faction pressed to give families more private time, a majority favored a bigger role for emergency workers. “In everything that we

did, we wanted to put together an event that gave the families the private time that they needed, which will be at the start,” Lovick said. “Some of the families also have a desire to have first responders there and to have community members there.” Firefighters and police officers, search experts and foresters, plus legions of volunteers toiled for months in the debris field, looking for human remains. Searchers found the last of the 43 victims, Kris Regelbrugge, four months to the day after the mudslide. She was under 18 feet of dirt and debris. Brunner helped plan Sunday’s event. To the extent possible, he hopes it provides everyone what they need. “It’s part of my healing,” he said. “It’s part of this community’s healing.” Noah Haglund: 425339-3465; nhaglund@ heraldnet.com.

difference seven seconds might have made. The calculation comes from experts who studied the slide’s trajectory lines after his sister’s car was finally unearthed. Had Summer Raffo been seven seconds earlier or seven seconds later, she might have survived. Summer, 36, was on her way to Trafton for one of her side jobs trimming horse hoofs. She was caught in the hardesthit stretch of Highway 530. Lumps of uprooted asphalt were carried more than 400 feet. Of the 43 people to die, only she was inside a car. Dayn can’t drive past that spot at 50 mph. He’ll go 35, 40 tops. Often, he imagines how it used to look with trees and homes and familiar shadows. There are those, including family and federal emergency workers, who tried to stop Riley from joining the search. They questioned Dayn for allowing it. A year later, the father and son stand by the decision. “I couldn’t shed the guy,” Dayn said. “He was my rock. He was my support. He was my reality check. I know it wasn’t normal but none of the stuff down there was normal.” Riley doesn’t look back at the search in terms of days or discoveries. Instead, he most remembers the bonding moments with his dad. Three stand out. The first occurred the

afternoon of the slide. Summer’s mom, Rae Smith, immediately feared the worst. Calls to Summer’s cellphone went unanswered. She never made it to Trafton. Rae told Dayn: Find Summer. As Dayn drove his pickup west toward the slide, he told his sons that Aunt Summer might be dead. Riley bristled. He yelled. “You have to be strong right now,” the boy told him. “You have to show us how to be strong in these moments, Dad.” And then they went in. The second moment that stands out in Riley’s memory is when search organizers tried to turn him away. Riley paced about the fire hall, fighting back tears.

I couldn’t shed the guy. He was my rock. He was my support. He was my reality check. I know it wasn’t normal but none of the stuff down there was normal. Dayn Brunner, — about his oldest son, Riley, joining the search

His father met privately in a conference room with some people in charge. Dayn explained that he and his son were a team. Together, they brought knowledge. By then, they’d already been to the center of the slide. Either Riley’s going with me or I’m not going, he told them. Riley was cleared to go. “I still don’t know what card my dad pulled,” he said. The fifth day after the slide brought the father and son closer still. A heavy rain had fallen, unearthing a tiny blue gleam. Summer’s Subaru. Dayn got the word from Raffo’s friend, Rhonda Cook, who also was hunting for her. He and Riley made their way over and joined others digging for Summer. Summer’s hands were still on the steering wheel, solace to Dayn that her death was quick and she didn’t suffer. The father and son were given space. For the first time since the search began, Riley saw his father cry. Dayn fell to his knees, apologizing to Summer that it had taken so long to find her. Riley knelt next to his dad and put his arms around him. “She knows how hard you tried,” he said. They took the next day off to spend with family, waking up at 4:30 the

following morning to head back into the debris fields. There they bumped into John Hadaway, whose brother, Steven, hadn’t been found. “Why are you still here?” Hadaway asked. “We have to get everybody out,” Dayn told him. Hadaway began to cry. “You stole my heart,” he said. Dayn spent 39 days in the mud; Riley, the better part of two weeks, including his spring break. Dayn is thankful to everyone who helped in the search and especially is proud of his community. The outcome — all 43 of the missing found during a four-month span — is remarkable to him. “I think people are realizing we drew together and were strong in a way we have never been before,” he said. “We did the impossible.” These days, Dayn stays in touch with other families affected by the slide. He looks forward to the day the county opens a memorial park in the slide zone. That will ensure Summer and the others are not forgotten. He wants a place to go for quiet contemplation. Riley has grown five inches from a year ago. He’s a senior and recently finished his high school basketball season. He’s planning to attend community college. The father

and son are finishing an oak cabinet in the high school woodshop. It will end up in the Darrington Fire Hall and display relics salvaged from the mud. Behind the glass will be a section of the Steelhead Haven sign, a local landmark of sorts. It once hung from the bank of mailboxes in a neighborhood that no longer exists. There will be patches from police and fire departments that helped in the recovery and a mud-smeared Darrington Fire District sign shorn from its wooden post by the slide. Perhaps, too, there will be room for Summer’s horse-shoeing hammer. It was found in her car. Riley doesn’t dwell on the bodies he saw in the debris field or the sadness he witnessed. Mainly, he thinks about the time with his dad. “Family comes before everything,” he said. “I wasn’t going to let my dad go in there alone. My dad has always been my best friend. It’s almost like you think you can’t get any closer to someone and then you just love them even more.” Eric Stevick: 425-3393446; stevick@heraldnet. com.

LYNNWOOD — Flowers and messages of support are coming for the people of a church here as they mourn the loss of fellow Egyptian Christians at the hands of Islamic extremists. Now, people at St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church in Lynnwood have decided to act with love in

of their families are struggling to survive without the income in Al Aour, Egypt, said Father Arsanios Hanna, St. Mary’s spiritual leader. His congregation joined the money-raising effort started three weeks ago by St. George Coptic Orthodox Church in Kirkland. So far, the two congregations, which include about 575 families combined, have raised more than $16,000.

The goal is $21,000 so they can send $1,000 to each family. Hanna, a native of Shoubra, Egypt, said they will connect with the families through the church network to get the much-needed cash in the right hands. “The family depends totally on this one person who was beheaded,” he said. People can send support or donate money through the

Lynnwood and Kirkland church websites or by going to gofundme. com/onebody. Hanna hopes to do for the families in Egypt what people have done for his congregation by sending condolences. “We feel a lot of people support us,” he said. “It gives us a feeling that we’re not alone.” Amy Nile: 425-339-3192; anile@ heraldnet.com.

Road signs never die, they’re just resigned

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

MILL CREEK — Leah Shin, 18, recently was given a Prudential Spirit of Community Award for her work at the school establishing Literacy for Love, which collects books for children in need. Question: What sparked your interest in volunteer work? Answer: I used to be really quiet, but my 7th grade English teacher told me to apply for the Mill Creek Youth Advisory Board. I meet with other teens and people who are interested in volunteering. I’ve been on the board for six years and worked on a Kids’ Fun Run, the Mill Creek Festival, teen egg hunts, we bought toys for Swedish Hospital for children, and I testified before the Parks and Recreation Board on where to build a new park. Q: How did this turn into your drive to lead projects? A: I think the realization was when I became an officer. I got to see when senior high school cool kids led us. Being able to switch seats and lead a meeting, and talk about ideas, and see things actually get done. That’s when I realized I wanted to get more involved in the community. Q: How did the Spirit of Community award come about? A: I ran for Associated Student Body all four years of high school, but in my freshman and sophomore years I wasn’t elected. I needed to do something to take my mind off it. My sophomore year I came up with this idea for Literacy for Love (literacyforlove. weebly.com). I had an older friend, kind of like my mentor .

EVERETT — Detectives haven’t yet found the $100,000 worth of diamonds, rubies and sapphires that disappeared Jan. 17 from a gem dealer’s car, but the trail of clues led them to a north Everett trailer court and an ex con they suspect last had the loot. Eddie Allen Sheldon is said to

have spent 34 years in prison. When confronted by officers last week, the 55-year-old had a Bowie knife in a sheath on his belt, a weapon he reportedly referred to as his near-constant companion. Sheldon was booked Thursday for investigation of first-degree robbery. Police believe he is the trench coat-wearing man who took the gems by force from those who initially stole them.

A search of Sheldon’s home didn’t turn up the jewels, but he allegedly told detectives “I could get rid of them. I could if I wanted to.” The jewelry belongs to a 79-year-old gem dealer from Oregon. He had the items inside his rental car when it was stolen outside an Everett hotel two months ago. When the thieves tried to sell the loot they wound up meeting

You can just buy a sign. National Barricade Co. LLC makes thousands of road signs out of its Marysville manufacturing center. A great many of them — street signs, speed limit signs and more — are seen on our daily travels in Everett, Lynnwood and beyond. But the company’s customers include the personal as well as the municipal. “Every once in awhile we get a request for somebody who wants to put in ‘Jonathan’s Way,’ and we’ll make those,” said Garth Regudon, a sales manager. A basic street sign is one thing. Depending on the level of authenticity you’re looking for, sign manufacturers charge from under $20 to nearly $50 for a basic green and white, rounded-corner rectangle of, oh, say, “Street Smarts St.” Beyond that, it gets spendy.

(And what would we call that? Cabby chic? Mid-intersection modern?) Anyway, to answer Bill Selia’s question, I turned to Everett spokeswoman Meghan Pembroke, who pointed to RCW 46.61.075, which prohibits private entities from displaying unauthorized signs at any highway, or advertising with any sign or signal that mimics an official traffic control device. “So while the public can own them, they can’t point them at the street,” Pembroke said. This particular decorating scheme is in an alley. So, assuming the signs were legally obtained, the neighbor’s directional-formal approach to landscape design is legit. But, this raised a very interesting topic for me. So I followed the neighbor’s arrows onto various proverbial rabbit trails.

Q: Do you have much time for other activities? A: I like being busy. Right now I’m senior class president, which is fun because I get to plan prom. Also I’m on the Technology Students Association. I did the Project Green Challenge,

collecting cans and composting. I did Model UN. I’m also varsity captain of the golf team. I try practicing six hours every day. Q: How do you have time for school work then? A: I do homework there at the Columbia Super Range. Q: What do you like about golf? A: I realized that golf

is really a fun sport and underrated. It’s kind of soothing because you concentrate. My dad plays golf so it’s kind of been with me since I was younger.

Arnold Lee Bourland 1924-2015

Arnold went to be with his p r e c i o u s w i fe , B e l l e , o n Valentine’s Day, Februar y 14, 2015. Southern to the core, but raised in “Yankee” country; Arnold’s Sparta, Tennessee roots remained dear to him throughout his life. He led an extraordinar y life: enlisted and traveled in the Navy at 17 and fought in World War II, married his dream girl, had a family which he adored, owned and operated multiple businesses which enabled him to retire at an early age to enjoy a peaceful life of gardening, and taking care of the home he shared with his Belle. All was accomplished without a college education; he was self-taught in mechanics, home building, the mortgage i n d u s t r y, h a rd w a r e s to r e operations, and farming. In his later year s, af ter m u c h p r aye r f ro m f a m i l y members, he had a supernatural experience with the Lord and he surrendered his life to Christ. His loving wife, Belle S. Bourland, preceded him in death in May 2014. Arnold is sur vived by his daughters, Linda Worthington and Lynna Rux; grandchildren, Liana, Chris, D a r r i n , a n d Ta r y n ; t h r e e great-grandchildren, and his friend and companion, Buddy the cat. Arnold is also sur vived by sisters, Betty and Jeanetta; and brothers, Robert and Donald Lee. Donations can be made to the USO, Wounded Warriors, or the Huntington’s Disease Association.

was made by the bald guy in a trench coat. He reportedly was missing a few front teeth and claimed to be a “Peckerwood,” a member of a white-power prison gang. The woman told police she surrendered the gems after she and her son were threatened with being stabbed, hacked, raped and killed. Before the assailants left, they told her to keep quiet and took her computer and drivers license so they could track her down, she said. A break in the case came when somebody pawned a ruby that was part of the stolen loot. Detectives followed leads. Last month they arrested the person suspected of stealing the car with the gems inside and also one of the men who admitted to later demanding the thieves surrender the gems to him. The identity of the man

bought that massive stop sign with high intensity prismatic reflective features conforming to regulations in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices Section 2A.07 paragraph 2 with minimum sign contrast ratio as listed in Table 2A-3 footnote 4? “If you had a bunch of ‘stop signs’ and ‘one ways’ and ‘do not enters,’ I’d be curious where you’d got them,” Regudon said. In other words, keep your receipts.

Exit 2: When signs expire If your name is Norman, Myrtle or you just really like Rainier, you could also try your luck with the city of Seattle. The city is selling its old street signs to the public as it replaces them. It appears unique, though. I checked around and, unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Colby in Everett or I-5 anywhere will be coming up for sale any time soon. So what does happen when a sign is ready to head down the road into the sunset? If they’re in good shape, they’ll be reused. Once a month, Everett hands off its sign blanks to a Portland-based refurbisher who then hydrostrips the old sheeting and resurfaces the blank. “The city then reuses the blank to make new signs in our sign shop at a reduced cost over purchasing new blanks,” Pembroke said. Signs are almost universally made of aluminum. So if a sign is damaged beyond reuse, then the city sends it to National Barricade for recycling. “They credit the city of Everett 90 percent of the value of the recycled aluminum to be applied as a credit to purchase new blanks or sheeting,” Pembroke said.

Exit 3: Follow the trail There are other ways

We get to learn business skills and meet CEOs and managers of companies like Amazon and Ernst & Young. Q: What draws you to business? A: I’m not really into the sciences. I’m more into being creative, technology, STEM subjects and business. It’s like finding creative solutions for realworld problems, that’s how I see it.

witnesses called the “Peckerwood” eluded detectives until they got a tip, according to court papers. The woman who was robbed at the motel identified him when shown a photo montage on Wednesday. Sheldon didn’t resist when police showed up at the trailer he lives in off North Broadway. He agreed to speak with detectives. He said he’d seen some of the gems and that he’d gone as “back up” to the Mountlake Terrace motel. He denied any violence or weapons involved, although he was sporting the big knife on his hip. Before being taken to jail, Sheldon reportedly said that he always carries his knife except when going to visit people at their homes or when his grandkids drop by. He told detectives that he figured his next stop would be prison and “I probably won’t ever get out.” In court papers, detectives said they received a tip that Sheldon “is the last person who had the gems and is sitting on $100,000

signs are reused, too. I’m waving now to reader Bill Kusler of Snohomish, who wrote to tell me about a different way street signs have been appearing out of context around here. “We are so lucky to have our Centennial Trail, and I have really enjoyed the markers discussing the history of the area. These markers were painted on the backs of unused street signs which was a great idea,” Kusler wrote. “I am wondering if anyone has considered painting the backs of the markers to cover up these former signs. It would really enhance their appearance.” Yes, perhaps, but it was kinda the point. Snohomish County engineer Owen Carter talked to the sign shop and offered up more information about this project. The signs were the brainchild of Wendy Becker of the county’s Office of Economic Development as a way to show how the county repurposes signs in different ways. “We purposely did not want to cover the back because we wanted to see that the signs were once used for roadway signs and that we are recycling them and using them in another application,” Carter wrote. Most of the county’s expired signs are recycled. Some of the other creative ways the county reuses signs include cutting them up to make mounting brackets for flashing lights on barricades. Some 30-inch signs are cut into 3-inch strips, bent into a hook, then nailed to the bottom of a sign post that is then buried in the ground. The hook acts as an anti-theft device. Which I guess brings us full circle in our little detour. So I’ll put this thing in park — and leave the stop sign where it is. Have a question? Email me at streetsmarts@ heraldnet.com.

Man charged in cop shootings St. Louis Post-Dispatch CLAYTON, Mo. — A man who participated in a protest outside the Ferguson police station Wednesday night returned to the area and fired shots — possibly at someone other than police — that wounded two officers, authorities said Sunday. Jeffrey Williams, 20, was charged with two counts each of first-degree assault and armed criminal action, and one count of firing a weapon from a vehicle. “It is possible that he was firing at someone other than the police,” St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert P. McCulloch said at a news conference Sunday. He said there had been civilians between Williams, who fired from a car, and the officers who were wounded. He said Williams may have acted on a dispute with people over something that had nothing to do with the demonstration, but added, “I’m not sure we’re completely buying that part of it.” McCulloch said Williams admitted firing the shots and indicated they were not at police. Some of the statements are supported by physical evidence, and some aren’t, he said. “I wouldn’t say he wasn’t targeting police,” McCulloch said. “I’m saying right now the evidence we have supports filing the charge that he may have been shooting at someone other than police and struck the police.” He said it may turn out that police were the targets, but either way essentially the same charges would apply.

JEFF ROBERSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS

St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch (left) speaks during a news conference as St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar listens Sunday.

Williams, who McCulloch said lives “not far from Ferguson,” was on probation for receiving stolen property in St. Jeffrey Louis County Williams and wanted for failing to report to his probation officer, the prosecutor said. McCulloch said a search warrant was used to recover a .40-caliber handgun that matches spent cartridges recovered in the area from which the shots came. The officers were hit when shots were fired at them from some distance away just after midnight Thursday. A county officer, 41, was struck in the shoulder and a Webster Groves officer, 32, in the cheek as they worked a security line outside the Ferguson police station on South Florissant Road. Both were treated and released that

morning at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. County Police Chief Jon Belmar said at the news conference that both officers continue to recover. Many protest leaders joined with law enforcement in condemning the attack. It happened at a gathering of protesters hours after an announcement that Ferguson police Chief Thomas Jackson had resigned, effective March 19. Calls for Jackson to go began almost immediately after one of his white officers, Darren Wilson, shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old, in a street confrontation Aug. 9. A Justice Department investigation said Wilson had been justified, but a separate federal investigation into operation of the Ferguson police accused the city of operating the department and municipal court as a revenue engine preying particularly on

poor minorities. Tony Rice, a fixture among Ferguson demonstrators, was unequivocal in saying Sunday that Williams was not a regular protester. “I have never, ever seen him out there and I keep up with things and who’s around and what’s going on,” Rice said. “This dude was not a protester.” Rice, who was on the scene during the shooting, said he was immediately skeptical that it had anything to do with the larger movement. “Police have done a lot to us throughout this process, so why would someone want to start shooting at them now, at a time like this when we are winning?” Rice said referring to Jackson’s resignation and other departures within Ferguson city government. Rice went on to say that regular protesters would not have welcomed anyone with violent tendencies into the movement. “Our fight is with the system, not the police,” Rice said. “A win for us is not dead officers. Protests have continued in Ferguson since Thursday morning’s shootings, with the county police and Missouri Highway taking over security command from Ferguson police. In Washington, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. issued a statement Sunday praising swift action by police, aided by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, in dealing with the “heinous and cowardly crime.” “This arrest sends a clear message that acts of violence against our law enforcement personnel will never be tolerated,” Holder said.

Robert Durst says he ‘killed them all’

Subject of HBO doc ‘The Jinx’ arrested 1 day before season finale By Janet McConnaughey and Brian Melley Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — The arrest on a murder warrant of Robert Durst, a wealthy eccentric linked to two killings and his wife’s disappearance, came just before the finale in an HBO show about his life in which he said he “killed them all.” In the finale that aired Sunday evening on HBO, Durst was asked about similarities in handwriting in a letter he wrote and another linked to one of the killings. Later, filmmakers said Durst wore his microphone into the bathroom. What followed was a bizarre rambling in which Durst said, apparently to himself, “There it is. You’re caught” and “What the hell did I do? Killed them all of course.” The show ended, and it wasn’t clear whether producers confronted Durst about the secretly recorded words, or what Durst meant by them. FBI agents arrested Durst Saturday at a New Orleans hotel on a warrant from Los Angeles for the murder of a mobster’s daughter 15 years ago, authorities said. Durst was ordered held without bond pending another hearing Monday. His lawyer, Chip Lewis, said Durst will agree to be taken to Los Angeles to face the first-degree murder charge. Durst participated in the documentary, giving an extensive interview to filmmaker Andrew Jarecki for “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst.” But Lewis said that nothing his client revealed changes his innocence. “It’s all about Hollywood now,” Lewis told The Associated Press. But Durst’s estranged and fearful relatives thanked authorities for tracking him down. “We are relieved and also grateful to everyone who assisted in the arrest of Robert Durst. We hope he will

finally be held accountable for all he has done,” said his brother, Douglas Durst, in a statement. Murder Durst, 71, suspect has always Robert Durst ma i nt a i n e d his innocence in the 2000 murder of Susan Berman, whose father was an associate of Las Vegas mobsters Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky. Berman, a writer who became Durst’s spokeswoman, was killed at her home next to Beverly Hills with a bullet to the back of her head as New York investigators prepared to question her in the unsolved 1982 disappearance of Durst’s wife, Kathleen. “The jig is up,” said former Westchester County District Attorney Jeanine Pirro, who had hoped Berman would help solve the disappearance. The documentary uncovered “evidence that law enforcement in three states wasn’t able to unearth,” added Pirro, who now hosts “Justice with Judge Jeanine” on Fox. The climax of last week’s episode revealed a hand-written address on a letter, recovered by the slain woman’s relative, that Durst had sent to Berman. The handwriting seems virtually identical to an anonymous letter alerting Beverly Hills police to a “cadaver” in Berman’s home. Even the word “Beverly” is misspelled as “Beverley” on both documents. Durst observes in the documentary that only Berman’s killer could have sent the letter to police. Jarecki is then shown putting the other letter in a safe deposit box. The episode didn’t indicate whether Jarecki shared that earlier letter with the authorities, but the Los Angeles Police said the arrest resulted from “investigative leads and additional evidence that has come to light in the last year.” Lewis said the film revealed

nothing new, and he’s got no doubt the timing of the arrest was orchestrated in coordination with HBO’s broadcast of the Filmmaker final episode. Andrew “I know all Jarecki about this case,” Lewis said. “I have no doubt we will present a most compelling defense.” After Berman’s death, Durst moved to Texas, where he lived as a mute woman in a boarding house until his arrest in 2001 after dismembered parts of the body of his elderly neighbor, Morris Black, were found floating in Galveston Bay. Durst then became a fugitive, until he turned up shoplifting a chicken sandwich, Band-Aids and a newspaper in Pennsylvania, even though he had $500 cash in his pocket and $37,000 in his rental car — along with two guns and marijuana. Lewis told the jury that Durst shot Black in self-defense and suffered from Asperger’s syndrome. Despite admitting that he used a paring knife, two saws and an axe to dismember Black’s body before dumping the remains, Durst was acquitted of murder. Durst still faced some consequences in Texas — in 2004 he pleaded guilty to bond jumping and evidence tampering, but with time served, he was paroled in 2005. Then, violating the terms of his parole, he returned to the boarding house where Black was killed, and had to serve another four months in jail. Durst “has been incredibly lucky that so many people who’ve investigated him have dropped the ball, but I think that luck may be running out,” said Former Galveston County District Court Judge Susan Criss, who presided over the Texas murder trial. Lewis defended Durst again in Texas after he inexplicably urinated on the candy display at the cash register of a CVS

pharmacy in Houston last year. Durst paid a fine and compensated the store for what Lewis called an “unfortunate medical mishap.” The Durst family is worth at least $4 billion, according to the Forbes list of richest Americans. The oldest son of the late real estate mogul Seymour Durst, whose Durst Corporation manages 1 World Trade Center, Robert Durst became estranged from his family when his brother Douglas was chosen instead of him to run the family business. Robert Durst had known tragedy from an early age — when he was seven, his father called him onto the roof of a building to try to persuade his suicidal mother not to jump. He left before seeing her fall. In 1982, Robert Durst reported that his wife Kathie had suddenly disappeared from their cottage in South Salem, New York. No one was ever charged. More recently, Douglas Durst has said he fears his brother would kill him. Robert Durst has denied that. But in 2012 and 2013, his family members had restraining orders taken out against him, and he was ultimately acquitted of trespassing charges for walking in front of their townhouses. Also in 2013, Durst tried unsuccessfully to claim $82,000 from his missing wife’s estate, even though his personal net worth has been estimated at about $100 million. “The story is so operatic,” Jarecki told the AP before his documentary aired. “That’s what’s so fascinating to me — seeing someone who is born to such privilege and years later is living in a $300-a-month rooming house in Galveston, Texas, disguised as a mute woman.” Jarecki told a fictionalized version of Durst’s story in “All Good Things,” a 2010 film starring Ryan Gosling. Then he got a call from Durst himself, who wanted to see it, and eventually agreed to talk on camera.

ACROSS THE U.S.

McConnell to delay AG nomination over abortion funding WASHINGTON — Majority Leader Mitch McConnell warned Sunday that he won’t hold a confirmation vote for Loretta Lynch as attorney general before the Senate completes work on a bill designed to curb human trafficking. Last week’s debate on a human trafficking bill broke down when Democrats made a late objection to a provision that prohibits money dedicated to a fund for victims from being used to pay for abortions except in cases of rape, incest or if the life of the woman were in jeopardy. Similar restrictions have been in place for three decades, but abortion-rights supporters said the legislation takes the restrictions a step further by applying them to the personal money convicted sex traffickers pay into a government fund.

Democrats threaten to oppose Medicare deal Democratic senators would oppose a potential House bipartisan deal preventing cuts in physicians’ Medicare payments if it doesn’t finance a children’s health program for four years, senior Senate Democratic aides said Sunday. The aides issued the threat as House bargainers try preventing a 21 percent reduction in doctors’ Medicare reimbursements scheduled for April 1. Negotiators want to craft an agreement annulling a 1997 formula that annually threatens deep cuts in those payments.

New York: Tug captain jumped in water without suit The captain of a sinking tugboat died after he panicked and jumped into icy waters off New York’s Fire Island without putting on his immersion suit, while three crew members managed to hang onto life rings, the survivors told the Coast Guard. The Sea Bear was behind two other tugboats heading back to base when it started sinking in stormy weather Saturday afternoon. When the Coast Guard arrived at the scene, rescuers came upon the three crew members holding on to two life rings in the water a mile off a section of Fire Island known as The Pines.

AROUND THE WORLD

Saddam’s tomb extensively damaged in Iraq fighting OUJA, Iraq — The tomb of Iraq’s late dictator Saddam Hussein was virtually leveled in heavy clashes between militants from the Islamic State group and Iraqi forces in a fight for control of the city of Tikrit. Fighting intensified to the north and south of Saddam Hussein’s hometown Sunday as Iraqi security forces vowed to reach the center of Tikrit within 48 hours. Associated Press video from the village of Ouja, just south of Tikrit, shows all that remains of Hussein’s once-lavish tomb are the support columns that held up the roof.

Israel: Netanyahu warns supporters he might lose Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned supporters on Sunday that he may not win Tuesday’s election, a potentially dramatic fall for a consummate political survivor whose nine years in office transformed him into the public face of contemporary Israel. A loss by Netanyahu would mark a sobering reversal for Israel’s security hawks, in a country where the electorate has been moving steadily rightward for the past 15 years. The final round of opinion polls on Friday showed Netanyahu and his right-wing Likud party facing a surprisingly strong challenge by Isaac Herzog, leader of the center-left Labor Party.

Syria: Kerry would be willing to talk with Assad U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said he would be willing to talk with Syrian President Bashar Assad to help broker a political resolution to the country’s civil war. Kerry said in an interview with CBS News that the U.S. is pushing for Assad to seriously discuss a transition strategy to help end Syria’s four-year conflict, which has killed more than 220,000 people, given rise to the Islamic State group and destabilized the wider Middle East.

Stanwood firm wins architectural award By Jim Davis The Herald Business Journal

A Stanwood architectural firm has won an award for its work on the chapel and surrounding floor remodel at Trinity Lutheran College. Designs Northwest Architects planned the Brammer Chapel and Center for Art & Visual Communication in 2013 for the college in downtown Everett. “We were asked to design something unique and I was really pleased with that space and excited about it,” said Dan Nelson, the firm’s principal architects. “I think (the award) was an affirmation.” Designs Northwest received an award of merit Feb. 20 from the Northwest Washington Chapter of the American Institute for Architects. The remodel is designed so that people walk off the elevator onto the fifth floor of the college into a small foyer with a curved wall. A baptismal font is to one side and small side chapel is to another. Behind the wall, is the chapel with a glass wall at the back that looks out onto a visual communications lab, the student lounge and then to the outside where people can view the water and mountains. “One of the things that we thought about is part of our college is service to our area,” said Trinity Lutheran president John Reed. “It’s kind of fun that we’re out looking out into the world that we’re a part of.” Trinity Lutheran moved to Everett in fall 2008 into the former Bon Marche building at 2802 Wetmore Ave. At first the college wasn’t using the fifth floor of the building. Then, George and Jackie Brammer, an Idaho couple, gave the college a gift for the chapel. The Brammers didn’t have a direct connection to the college, but did know Trinity Lutheran’s campus pastor, Erik Samuelson. They were friends with his father, Mark Samuelson, who was a pastor in Idaho and went onto to be a pastor at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church before retiring about a year ago. The college was able to use the gift to remodel the 12,000-square-foot fifth floor and add the chapel. The renovation also added an art studio, president’s office, staff offices and art gallery. The total project cost more than $800,000, Reed said. Kirtley-Cole Associates in Everett

grateful for it,” Reed said. The college and its community brought great ideas for what they wanted for the space, Nelson said.

Even successful businesses can’t last forever

ne of my 11 year-old son’s most prized possessions is a “Calvin and Hobbes” comic strip book. The book’s cover is long gone and most of the pages are dog-eared. The book has traveled on vacations, on trips to see grandma and everyday errands. Several nights each week at bedtime he reads about the adventures of Calvin and Hobbes, occasionally laughing out loud, even though he’s read each comic strip countless times. It has been 20 years since the author of “Calvin and Hobbes,” Bill Watterson, last published a new entry for his comic strip. Watterson, after just 10 years, decided that very popular “Calvin and Hobbes” had run its course.

To the casual observer, it seems crazy for Watterson to have stopped drawing the strip when he did. How could he say no more when he had achieved this level of success? I share this story because there is an important reminder for new entrepreneurs: Every enterprise, no matter how successful, has an expiration date. In most cases, the market determines the timing of the end of an enterprise — with Watterson, he was lucky enough and had the foresight to control that decision. “The strip’s world seemed complete,” he said, according to a catalog for a 2014 exhibit of his work. He didn’t want to “mow the lawn — just go back and forth over the same ground.” Watterson left on his own

terms. Who can blame him for that? A basic business principle is that every company goes through a cycle that begins with the initial startup, moves to growth, then to maturity where sales plateau, and finally to its eventual decline and end. Of course, the end doesn’t necessarily mean the closure of the business; it might be the sale to another company. For many small businesses, the cycle moves quickly from the startup phase to the end, with the company never reaching growth or maturity. For others, the entire cycle process may be several years in length and or could last many decades or even longer. Even large companies are subject to this cycle; just look at the

recent bankruptcy of RadioShack or the sales struggles at McDonald’s. It’s hard to fathom, but is it possible that McDonald’s is now on the long decline? Of the original 12 companies listed in the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index at the beginning of the 20th century, only General Electric remains in that index. Many of the companies that control the technology landscape today — such as Facebook, Google and Twitter — weren’t around when Watterson hung up his comic strip in 1995. It’s not hard to predict that some of these names will be replaced by new names 20 years hence because consumer tastes change, new competitors enter the market, companies

don’t adjust quickly enough and technological advances can dramatically change the rules of the industry. My bottom line: If you want to have the control that Watterson exercised when he stopped “Calvin and Hobbes,” every business owner needs to be able to answer a fundamental question. Under what circumstances would I leave my business, feel satisfied with the accomplishments to date and have no regrets? This is a tough question, but an important one, if you want to properly manage the natural cycle of any business. Pat Sisneros is the Vice President of College Services at Everett Community College.

Don’t change what’s working additional fees or interest if they are unable to repay when the loan is due. Liias’ bill, which passed the Senate, 30-18, would eliminate payday loans in favor of installment loans of up to 190 days, again with a maximum of $700. But the fees and interest could dramatically add to the costs for borrowers. Lenders could charge an origination fee of 15 percent and annual interest of 36 percent, amortized and accruing daily. On top of that, they could charge a monthly maintenance fee of 7.5 percent, up to $45 per month. Borrowers could potentially save money over the current system, as the interest is amortized, but that assumes they would pay off their debts in a few weeks rather than the typical sixmonth term. The payday loans, as now regulated by the state, can be a useful option to people who can’t otherwise turn to traditional bank loans or credit in a

situation, such as a car failure or other emergency, when cash is needed quickly. But often those who need these loans are most likely to fall victim to predatory lending. Prior to the 2009 reforms, borrowers in the state took out more than 3.2 million payday loans. By 2011, the number of loans had dropped to 856,000. And the number of payday loan stores also dropped 42 percent, Propublica noted in a 2013 report. Which explains why Moneytree, an industry leader, sought the legislation. And why its executives made campaign donations to Liias and several others in the House and Senate. Liias and others backed the change, pointing to a similar system in Colorado as something that provides protection for borrowers. And it’s true that the Pew Charitable Trust, in a study of the payday loan industry, found that after Colorado’s most recent reforms in 2010, the amount

of total spending on loan fees by Coloradans dropped to $54.8 million from $95.1 million in 2007. But Pew and others aren’t making any suggestion that Washington should drop its current system in favor of Colorado’s. In a letter to Washington legislators, Pew said that the state’s 2009 reforms benefitted its residents, keeping many from falling into difficult-to-break cycles of debt. Washington is one of nine states that Pew found had instituted exacting requirements that protected consumers. Fifteen states do not allow storefront payday loan operations, but the payday loan industry is largely unregulated in 27 other states. Meanwhile, the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is expected to release its own rules for such loans later this year, and it’s not a stretch to think its rules might closely align with the current rules in Washington state.

GUEST COMMENTARY | YMCA Annual Campaign

Support YMCA’s good works in county By Kelly Shepherd and Scott Forslund

he YMCA of Snohomish County has launched its annual community support campaign to ensure that everyone in Snohomish County has access to vital community programs and resources that support youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Every day, the YMCA works to support the people and neighborhoods that need it most by addressing community issues, such as school readiness, chronic diseases, teen leadership and healthy living. “Throughout Snohomish County, countless people know the YMCA. However, there’s so much more to our Y than one might think,” said Kelly Shepherd, campaign chairwoman. “The Y is more than a gym. It’s a cause. As a charity, we’re dedicated to nurturing the potential of

every child and teen, improving our community’s health and well-being, and giving back and providing support to our neighbors.” While earned revenues from membership and program fees keep the YMCA operating, it is financial contributions to the YMCA Annual Campaign that advance the mission of the Y. YMCA programs and services support youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility and have a direct and positive impact on residents right here in Snohomish County. As a leading nonprofit organization in Snohomish County, the YMCA’s Financial Assistance Program, supported by contributions to the Annual Campaign and United Way, provided $1,492,212 in direct financial assistance to 8,595 individuals during 2014. In addition, $3,985,232 was provided in youth and family program subsidies, ensuring the presence of caring adults

to nurture the potential of 50,765 children and teens across Snohomish County. We believe the YMCA of Snohomish County is a cause worth investing in. The Y relies on the support of the community, through volunteers and financial contributions to continue its vital work. Throughout Snohomish County more than 107,000 individuals connect with the YMCA every year. Thousands more know the Y, or know of the Y. Every day, the YMCA of Snohomish County through its five facility branches (Everett, Marysville, Mill Creek, Monroe/Sky Valley, Mukilteo), Stanwood-Camano YMCA initiative, and Big Brothers Big Sisters affiliation support the people and neighborhoods that together comprise this wonderful county in which we live, work, and play. For some, the Y is a gym where they play basketball with friends. For others it’s a pool to learn to swim. But

IN OUR VIEW | Payday loan legislation

Simply put, there is no reason for the Legislature to give any further consideration to so-called reforms to the state’s short-term lending rules, as passed by the Senate last week. There’s no reason because there’s no benefit to anyone other than the payday loan industry. Lynnwood Democrat Sen. Marko Liias’ bill, SB 5899, which is now in the House for consideration, would replace the current system’s reforms passed by the Legislature in 2009. Currently, payday loans are limited to $700 at any one time, and a borrower cannot take out more than eight loans in a 12-month period. Fees are limited to 15 percent on amounts $500 or less, with an additional 10 percent on amounts over $500. Loans are short-term, typically paid back after the borrower’s next payday, where the loans get their name. Borrowers are allowed to enter into installment plans of up to six months, with no

Editorial Board

the Y is so much more — the Y offers programs to address chronic disease issues such as youth obesity and diabetes prevention, cancer survivors have a place to find strength and build community, and thousands of children and teens have a safe place to go with caring adults while their parents are at work or school. Your financial gift will help close the gaps in our community and strengthen Snohomish County by helping individuals and families through programs and services that support youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We hope you will join us and donate online today at ymca-snoco.org/give or contact your local YMCA to learn how you can support the Y’s cause.

Senators should have asked Iran to free reporter

f my Post colleague Jason Rezaian were home for his 39th birthday on Sunday, he’d probably be at his brother Ali’s house in Mill Valley, California, building Star Wars Legos with his 7-year-old nephew and dipping into some spicy guacamole. Later, he’d likely tuck into a bowl of ghormeh sabzi, a Persian green stew, and perhaps hatch plans DANA MILBANK with his high-school buddies from Marin Academy to fly to Arizona to see his Oakland A’s in spring training. But Rezaian won’t be doing that on Sunday, because he’s in prison in Iran. The American-born Tehran bureau chief for The Washington Post and his Iranian wife were taken captive by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard in July, and he remains in custody after spending most of the past eight months in isolation and without access to medical care or a lawyer. His imprisonment on undisclosed charges is an international outrage. But for Iranians, it’s also a tragedy. Rezaian, a dual national who is the product of an Iranian-American father and a European-American mother, had made it his life’s work to change Americans’ views of Iran, to show the world that his ancestral land does not deserve its caricature as a place of terrorists and nukes and flag burnings. The sad irony is that Iran’s treatment of Rezaian reinforces the caricature and cements Iran’s status as a rogue state that mocks human rights and ignores its own laws. As U.S. officials sit down in Geneva this weekend for nuclear negotiations with Iran, there is every reason to link Rezaian’s case to the talks. It calls into question whether Iran’s elected leaders, the executive branch with which U.S. officials are negotiating, can be reliable partners if they have no control over Iran’s ayatollahs and their Revolutionary Guard. Iran’s elected leaders seemed as surprised as U.S. officials were that Rezaian had been taken prisoner, and Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, has said he hopes Rezaian will be cleared. This week, 47 Republican senators caused an uproar with their premature letter to Iran objecting to a nuclear deal that has yet to be inked. Those lawmakers, and their Democratic counterparts, would be more constructive sending their pen pals in Tehran a letter about Rezaian. The Post has raised the visibility of its efforts to free its correspondent. Foreign editor Douglas Jehl, joined by Ali Rezaian, highlighted Jason’s plight Thursday in a news conference at the National Press Club and in 22 satellite interviews. A petition on change.org has amassed nearly a quarter-million calling for Jason’s release. There certainly is no legitimate basis for keeping him. The charge against him is vague and implies espionage, which is absurd. “My brother had no other job than to be a journalist,” Ali told me Thursday. That job was good enough for Jason. His late father had emigrated from Iran long before the revolution and did well as a rug salesman, and the Rezaian’s Marin County home, with a swimming pool, was the hub for the extended family. The gregarious Jason managed to become captain of his high school basketball team even though he’s all of 5-foot-7. Rezaian became interested in journalism after meeting the late writer Christopher Hitchens in college at the New School in New York. Also in college, Rezaian studied Farsi, which he hadn’t learned at home. He took his first trip to Iran in 2000 and was enchanted; he spent more and more time there, eventually moving there in 2008 to be a freelance journalist. He joined the Post in 2012, and in 2013 married Yegi Salehi, an English translator who became a journalist. The half-Persian Rezaian made it his mission to explain his ancestral culture to his homeland. “He really wanted to demystify the place, to tell the truth about the people,” Ali Rezaian told me, because he “realized that there’s a big difference between what people saw on TV in the news and in the movies and real life there.” His captors have instead shown the world that the Iranian regime can be every bit as thuggish as advertised. That may be just fine with the ayatollahs, who might lose their grip if Iran’s isolation ended. But hopefully Iran’s elected leaders will have the courage to insist on Rezaian’s release. Otherwise, it’s difficult to see how they get sufficient credibility to secure a nuclear deal. And the Iran that Rezaian tried to bring into the world will remain a pariah.

For five of those in the county and 295 statewide, it was the third straight year they had failed to file anything. In Snohomish County, those that did not file reports for 2011, 2012 and 2013 are Snohomish County Fire Protection District 19, Snohomish County Diking Districts 2 and 4, Lake Ketchum Maintenance and Robe Valley Flood Control District. Special districts are empowered to levy taxes, assessments and fees. Money that is collected is held in an account managed by their county treasurer. Typically, the treasurer disburses the money upon written request from a district’s board members. Under House Bill 2084, Kelley’s office would tell county treasurers which special purpose districts did not turn in reports. The treasurers could not distribute any of the money from sales or property taxes, or other charges, until the district is in compliance. “The money’s there. You can see the money. You just have to file the report,” Hunter said. “It’s not that hard.” Kelley did not request the legislation but is appreciative of Hunter taking the initiative. He also said since the report came out in January more districts are working with his office to comply. “The small local governments that don’t file these reports represent more than $2.2 million in public funds that go unaudited,” Kelley said. “There is currently no mechanism to address local governments that fail to file. Rep. Hunter’s bill may offer that mechanism.” Snohomish County treasurer Kirke Sievers, who wasn’t aware of the bill, said he isn’t enthralled by the approach. The reporting requirement can be burden on smallest districts, he said. He envisioned problems. For example, what happens if a district contracts for work but its money is frozen and the bill isn’t paid. “We could get sued,” he said. “To me it seems kind of petty for the state to go and do this. They should look at other ways to help them.” The bill is awaiting a hearing in the Senate Government Operations and Security Committee. Jerry Cornfield: 360352-8623; jcornfield@ heraldnet.com

SEATTLE — When a Seattle television station sought copies of patrolcar dashboard videos from the city’s police department, it took four years and a trip to the Washington Supreme Court for the records to start being provided. But as a dozen officers have started wearing body cameras in a pilot project to record interactions with the public, the department has taken a vastly different approach under new Chief Kathleen O’Toole. It’s voluntarily putting blurry, silent versions of the videos on YouTube, giving the curious a chance to see what they entail while also protecting the privacy of those depicted. “It’s the way the chief wants us to do business,” says Mike Wagers, the department’s chief operating officer. “It’s her way of thinking: Transparency equals an increase in public trust.” Communities across the U.S. have clamored for more officers to be outfitted with the tiny cameras since a white officer shot and killed an 18-year-old black man in Ferguson, Missouri, last summer. President Barack Obama wants to spend $74 million to equip 50,000 officers with them. The shooting of Michael Brown wasn’t filmed, and so evidence that could have shown whether it was justified was never created. As the devices’ popularity spreads, though, many departments are struggling with technical questions of how to handle the vast amounts of footage collected, or how to redact the videos if necessary. It has become a key topic in government accountability, at the intersection of concerns about surveillance, privacy and police use of force. Lindsay Miller, a senior researcher with the nonprofit, Washington, D.C.-based Police Executive Research Forum, said she’s not aware of any departments beside Seattle that routinely publish body-cam videos.

Seattle police officer Debra Pelich wears a video camera on her eyeglasses Thursday as she talks with local citizens before a small community gathering in Seattle. The camera is attached to a battery pack and controls on the officer’s uniform.

Officer Pelich laughs with local resident Kevin Grigsby before Thursday’s gathering in Seattle.

“This is a huge concern, and it’s one of the biggest issues we’ve been hearing from the law enforcement agencies we work with,” she said. “By using the cameras you’re signaling you’re going to be committed to transparency ... But you’re also filming victims, witnesses, inside people’s homes. It’s definitely a balancing act.” The idea for the Seattle Police Department’s YouTube channel developed from a “hackathon” the department held late last year. The police had

received a bundle of broad public-records requests from Tim Clemans, 24, a self-taught computer programmer who wanted to see more of the videos that television station KOMO had requested years earlier. Clemans withdrew his requests after the department invited him and others to help come up with a better way to handle videos. Clemans said it took him an hour or two to figure out how to apply code that would blur them — essentially

“over-redacting” the videos. That allows people to see generally what’s on the videos, and to make formal requests for original, clear recordings if they want. While the department still must go through a labor-intensive process to redact the clear videos for formal requests, Wagers said, the result could be fewer requests or narrower requests in the future, saving the agency time and money. “You can watch, and even though it’s overblurred, you may look at it and see there’s nothing there,” he said. “Or maybe you see there’s an arrest at the 2-minute mark — does that narrow down your request and cut down on the time it takes to respond to it?” The department is still working with Clemans, as well as Amazon Web Services and others, to improve the software. The department has promised to make it available to other police departments for free, Wagers said. The chief also hired Amazon executive Greg Russell to serve as the department’s chief information officer. Some videos that have been cleared for release under public records requests

are also being posted to the YouTube channel. The department’s handling of the videos has intrigued law enforcement agencies around the country. But within Washington state, many departments are waiting to see whether lawmakers in Olympia approve a measure that would restrict when such videos can be released before they adopt policies on the topic — or even before they start using the cameras at all. That approach is troubling to Toby Nixon, head of the Washington Coalition for Open Government. “They see things like Tim Clemans’ big request and just panic,” he said. “Most agencies are not aware of or have not implemented the provisions in the Public Records Act that let them manage their workload.” Wagers, who received an award from Nixon’s group for his work with Clemans, said departments may want to make the videos available publicly even if the law doesn’t require it. “I think you’re going to see more demand from the public in terms of increasing accountability and transparency,” he said.

I wish, I wish, I didn’t have diabetes.”

How to overcome fear of bedtime

daily crossword

Question: About six months ago, our four-year old daughter began complaining of being afraid to be alone at bedtime. Upon questioning, she told us she was afraid of monsters in her closet and under her bed. We were unable to convince her otherwise. In fact, the more we talked to her, the more her fears grew to the point where she was becoming nearly hysterical at bedtime. As a result, I began staying with her until she fell asleep. The problem is that she wants to talk and doesn’t end up falling asleep until 10 or 11 o’clock. I should mention that she gives us no other problems and is a happy little girl at preschool. Does this indicate some deep-seated insecurity or is she, as a therapist friend of mine suggested, just being manipulative? Answer: I have no way of knowing your daughter’s emotional status, but a “deep-seated insecurity” is unlikely given that she functions well except at bedtime. I doubt she’s being manipulative either. Children this age really don’t possess the level of cunning and social intelligence necessary to purposefully manipulate people. It may seem at times as if they are, but appearance — in this case, your daughter appears to have

JOHN ROSEMOND Living with chiLdren “manipulated” you into staying with her at bedtime — and actuality are two different things. The sudden advent of random fears — especially various bedtime fears — is fairly common to children this age. Most of the kids in question are otherwise well-adjusted, as seems the case with your daughter. Paradoxically, the more parents try to talk a child out of being afraid of something unreal like monsters in the closet, the worse the fear becomes. In a preschooler, the power of the irrational in combination with the power of imagination is stronger than the power of reason. My first recommendation, therefore, is that you abandon all such efforts. The quality of your explanations doesn’t matter; your best words aren’t going to work. My second recommendation is that you continue to remain with your daughter until she falls asleep

but that you impose a penalty on her for the pleasure of your company. Tell her you’ve learned that children who are afraid at bedtime need more sleep, meaning they need much earlier bedtimes. So if she wants you to stay with her at bedtime, she must go to bed right after supper the following night. On that following night, if she again wants you to stay with her, do so, but remind her that her bedtime the next night will have to be right after supper because she obviously still needs more sleep. And so on. In other words, she continues to enjoy your presence at bedtime but has to pay a price for it. My experience predicts that if you are able to pull this off without any show of frustration, it will take two to four weeks for your daughter to begin telling you NOT to stay with her at bedtime. Yes, you will be inconvenienced during that time, but much less inconvenienced than you might be otherwise. More than a few parents have told me horror stories of these bedtime fears not only lasting several years but also breeding other fears and anxieties along the way. The approach I just described has prevented many a molehill from becoming a mountain. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC

the new york times crossword puzzle

Dear Abby: My wife, “Barb,” and I have been married for 21 years, and like any married couple, we’ve had our ups and downs. We recently visited my mom, a widow in her 80s. Barb caught a cold while we were there and needed to stay in bed while Mom and I visited family. I noticed Mom was letting the cleanliness of her bathroom go, but Barb and I never discussed it. When we got home, our good neighbor friends told me that Barb had texted them a photo of Mom’s bathroom. I was shocked and embarrassed. I feel like my wife was talking about me and my family behind my back. Barb said she was just poking fun. If that was the case, I should have been involved in the “fun.” This isn’t the first time something like this has happened. I feel like my trust has been violated. Am I overreacting? — Left Out In Indiana Dear Left Out: Because this isn’t the first time your wife has done something like this, and I presume you have let her know how you felt about it, I don’t think you’re overreacting. Talk to your mother to see if there’s a reason she’s unable to keep up with her housework. She may need to be evaluated by her doctor to make sure she’s OK. If something is wrong, it is not the least bit “funny.” In fact, for your wife to subject your mother to ridicule is hostile. It’s time to find out what’s at the root of your wife’s antics.

Even when Jonah isn’t on his computer playing the game, he reads the discussion forums online with his mobile device. It’s affecting our relationship. It also doesn’t help that he recently lost his job. I don’t like seeing him waste his time on this and his lack of ambition about the important things in life. What can I do to help Jonah, or is this normal? — Game Over In The Northwest Dear Game Over: When a hobby interferes with relationships, it is not “normal.” Exactly when did Jonah become “obsessively addicted”? Was he this way when you met him? If this has been going on for the entire year you have been together, your boyfriend may be more comfortable in the cyber world than in this one. If this escalated when he lost his job, the video game may be his attempt to cope with depression. Jonah would be better served by devoting the attention he’s lavishing on the game to finding a job. If you want to help him, suggest that he spend more of his time in the real world until his life is settled again — and tell him that if he’s depressed, he should talk about it to his doctor.

New sitcom reflects awkward episode in writer’s personal life By David Bauder Associated Press

PASADENA, Calif. — Everyone has those days where their life feels like a sitcom. Starting Tuesday writer Liz Feldman’s life really will be a sitcom, after she turned a painful personal episode into the series “One Big Happy,” which airs at 9:30 p.m. on NBC. Actress Elisha Cuthbert portrays a lesbian having a baby with her straight male best friend, a plan suddenly complicated when he marries another woman. Feldman wrote an outline in 2008 for the pilot, made by Ellen DeGeneres’ production company. Her friend Jason Allen had just told Feldman that he had met the love of his life. She and Allen met at Boston University, bonding over their mutual desire to pursue careers in comedy. After graduation, they moved to Los Angeles, and were inseparable through their 20s. “We did everything but each other together,” she said. Feldman knew she wanted children someday. So they had an understanding, although without a firm deadline. If she remained single, Allen would father her children. Panicked when she learned Allen had proposed, she responded, “Well, you told her about our plan, didn’t you?”

Monday’s highlights on TV include: Break out the sequins and spray tans. “Dancing With the Stars” kicks off its 20th season tonight with a cast that includes Suzanne Somers, Patti LaBelle, Michael Sam

Awkward. “He was like, ‘yeah,’ and she said, ‘yeah, we’ll talk about it once we get married,”’ Feldman said. “And I could feel that our plan was slipping away. To be totally frank, I was jealous. I was jealous that I didn’t have my best friend in the same capacity anymore. I was so weirded out that I was jealous that the only thing I could do was write about it. I couldn’t even have a conversation with him.” Allen’s reaction when she showed him the script fulfilled a male stereotype. “I am famous for emotional clues that slide right past me,” he said. “I did not take it as a friend writing a letter to a friend. I took it as just a pilot and I thought it was really funny.” Their first real conversation about it came years later in a writers’ room for

NBC

“One Big Happy” in front of other staff members studying them to apply facets of their relationship to the sitcom’s characters. While also doing standup comedy, Feldman has written for DeGeneres’ daytime show, Jeff Foxworthy’s “Blue Collar TV” and the CBS sitcom “Two Broke Girls.” Offered an opportunity to write a comedy pilot, she immediately went back to her own story. DeGeneres’ 1997 declaration that she was gay, simultaneous with the character in her sitcom coming out, “changed my life,” Feldman said. A year later, the 21-year-old Feldman met DeGeneres at a book signing and summoned the guts to say, “you’re Carol Burnett and I’m Vicki Lawrence, but you don’t know that yet.”

Marilynne Robinson’s “Lila” won the fiction prize from the National Book Critics Circle on Thursday night in New York. Her exquisite story about a poor woman who marries a small-town minister in Iowa is the final volume of a celebrated trilogy that began with “Gilead,” which won the NBCC fiction prize in 2005. New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast won the NBCC autobiography prize for “Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?,” a bestselling memoir about taking care of her aged parents. This is the first time that a graphic book has won the NBCC autobiography award. Chast told her agent she was so sure she wouldn’t win that she was willing to bet the lives of her two parrots. As she accepted the prize, she said, “I want to thank my parents. I hope somewhere they are aware that their story has touched many people.” This is also the first year that a single book has

The criticism prize, meanwhile, was awarded to “Ellen Willis: The Essential Ellen Willis,” edited by the author’s daughter Nona Willis Aronowitz. Willis, who died in 2006, was an essayist and journalist who wrote, among other things, music reviews for Rolling Stone, Village Voice and the New Yorker. And a third New Yorker writer, drama critic John Lahr, won the biography prize for “Tennessee Williams: Mad Pilgrimage of the Flesh.” David Brion Davis won the general nonfiction prize for “The Problem of Slavery in the Age of Emancipation,” his most recent book in a career that spans 50 years of scholarship.

MARCH MADNESS

No surprise, Kentucky is No. 1 seed By Eddie Pells Associated Press

said. “They’re going to my parents. The tickets are so expensive my family can’t afford them so it’s probably just going to be my mom and dad.” Gonzaga plays the Battle in Seattle annually at KeyArena. With Bell and Kevin Pangos starting at guard, the Zags have won the last four Battles, including a 63-50 victory over Cal Poly this season. Pangos and Przemek Karnowski both scored 16 points. Pangos made 4 of 7 3-pointers. The rest of the Zags went 1 of 6 from distance. “I think I shot it OK,” Pangos said with a smile, “especially in the second half.” The Zags took a couple days off after winning the WCC tournament. They practiced Friday

The Kentucky Wildcats ended up where everyone expected them on Selection Sunday: Seeded No. 1 on their quest to become the first undefeated team since 1976. Oh, but there were surprises when the NCAA Tournament bracket came out, too. Big-conference UCLA and Texas made it. Colorado State and Temple did not. Wisconsin is a No. 1 seed for the first time in program history. But the Badgers must play in the West Region, where secondseeded Arizona is certain to draw more fans. As for those play-in games that start Tuesday in Dayton. Well, one of the teams playing is Dayton — a No. 11 seed that will have a distinct home-court advantage Wednesday night against Boise State. Generally, that’s not allowed during the tournament, but there’s an exception because the committee said the Flyers were the last team in the 68-team field, and thus, had to play in the opening-round game. “It falls within our policies and procedures,” selection committee chairman Scott Barnes said. “It’s obviously a home-court advantage but we didn’t waver from that decision.” Fans have a few days to fill out their brackets (Sorry, no billiondollar prize available for a perfect one this year), then the action starts in full on Thursday, when Kentucky headlines the slate against the winner of a play-in game between No. 16 seeds Manhattan and Hampton. A ‘1’ has never lost to a ‘16.’ The other No. 1 seeds were Villanova in the East and Duke in the South. Those were pretty easy picks. And then there was the total no-brainer — placing Kentucky at the top of the Midwest Region, and at the very top of the bracket. The Wildcats defeated Arkansas 78-63 on Sunday to improve to 34-0. If they win six more, they’ll become the first team since then 1975-76 Indiana Hoosiers to go undefeated. “I think I have the best team and the best players,” said coach John Calipari, trying to lead the program to its ninth national title. “Does that mean we’ll win? No, it doesn’t.” The Wildcats are even-money picks in Las Vegas to win it all, and at least one coach, Bill Self of Kansas, thinks that might be a bargain. “I shouldn’t be talking about Vegas, but my point is, I think they’re a pretty heavy favorite,”

Zags No. 2 seed in South Gonzaga plays North Dakota St. on Friday in Seattle’s Key Arena By Jim Meehan The Spokesman-Review

SPOKANE — There were few Selection Sunday surprises for Gonzaga, which begins its NCAA tournament trek close to home — at Seattle’s KeyArena — with the expected seeding — No. 2. The Zags (32-2) face Summit League champion North Dakota State (23-9) at approximately 7 p.m. Friday. Gonzaga is in the South Region, as many bracket gurus projected. Duke is the South’s top seed, Iowa State is No. 3 and Georgetown, which takes on Eastern Washington on Thursday night in Portland, is No. 4. The Gonzaga-North Dakota State winner faces the winner of No. 7 Iowa-No. 10 Davidson. GU is in the NCAAs for the 17th straight year, the last 16 under

coach Mark Few. “It’s a great day. I know a lot of people take this day for granted but we don’t, the players don’t, the coaches don’t and people close to us in the athletic department don’t,” Few said. “It’s something really special when your name comes up. This year it’s close enough for our fans to get there and that makes it more enjoyable. “It’s a great reward for an incredible regular season by our guys.” The Zags seemingly have been locked into a two seed since defeating BYU in the WCC tournament title game Tuesday. They avoided being assigned to the same region as unbeaten Kentucky, which is the top seed in the Midwest. Selection committee chair Scott Barnes said in a radio

interview that six teams were under consideration for No. 1 seeds. GU wasn’t in that discussion. Gonzaga players’ main concern was location and Seattle is ideal for the opening weekend. “I think we’re going into it in great shape,” freshman forward Domantas Sabonis said. “Our last three games (in Las Vegas) we really stepped up our game. It’ll be great to be in Seattle. Our fan base can get there and we hope it’s full of GU fans.” Texts started pouring into senior guard Gary Bell Jr.’s phone shortly after the pairings were announced. “My phone definitely blew up but I only get two tickets,” Bell

M’s Hultzen to continue recovery in minor-league camp Left-handed pitcher is one of 11 Mariners’ players optioned on Sunday By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

ROSS D. FRANKLIN / ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Mariners’ Danny Hultzen, shown pitching in a Cactus League game in 2013, had shoulder surgery on Oct. 1, 2013, to repair his labrum and rotator cuff.

INSIDE: UW baseball, C2

PEORIA, Ariz. — Left-hander Danny Hultzen will now continue his recovery from major shoulder surgery in minor-league camp after being optioned Sunday by the Seattle Mariners to TripleA Tacoma in a series of roster moves. “I’m very pleased with where he is right now,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “Obviously, he’s worked very hard. I think he’s very excited about where he is, and we want to make sure he continues to stay healthy.” The Mariners moved 11 players

to minor-league camp prior to Sunday’s workouts. Hultzen, lefthanded pitcher Mike Kickham and outfielder Julio Morban were optioned to Tacoma. Eight players not on the 40-man roster were reassigned to minor-league camp, including catcher Marcus Littlewood, who had been in big-league camp on an extended loan. The other seven were righthanded pitchers Sam Gaviglio, Stephen Landazuri and Forrest Snow; outfielder Jordy Lara; and catchers Steven Baron, Mike Dowd and Tyler Marlette. Hultzen, 25, was the second overall pick in the 2011 draft and

was on a fast track through the Mariners’ minor-league system before undergoing surgery on Oct. 1, 2013 to repair his labrum and rotator cuff. When he pitched one scoreless inning March 11 against Colorado, it marked Hultzen’s first game action since Sept. 1, 2013, when he worked two innings for Tacoma against Sacramento at Cheney Stadium. “To be able to come back and pitch again is incredible,” he said after facing the Rockies. “There were times when I doubted that I could ever come back again.

S. Williams, Federer advance at Indian Wells Associated Press INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — Serena Williams is settling right on into the BNP Paribas Open, producing a quick, business-like effort in advancing to the fourth round Sunday while enjoying her return after a 14-year absence. She beat up-and-comer Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan 6-2, 6-0 in 53 minutes, a routine affair compared to the emotional roller coaster she rode Friday night after walking onto stadium court for the first time since being driven away by a hail of boos as a teenager in 2001. “It definitely felt back to normal out there,” Williams said. “Just trying to feel the rhythm and trying to focus on the ball more than anything else.” Four-time Indian Wells winner Roger Federer needed 10 more minutes than Williams to dispatch Diego Schwartzman 6-4, 6-2 in the men’s second round. Federer hit a 122-mph ace to set up match point and blasted a forehand winner to end it. “I’m moving well, which is key on this surface because the easy shots and easy points are not going to happen so easily here like they maybe do in Dubai or Australia or the indoor season,” Federer said. “I was successful playing on my terms. There are certain things I can do better, but for a first round it’s a good start.” Playing in the 91-degree heat of an unusually warm desert afternoon, Williams was bathed in applause by the half-full stadium court crowd. They booed supportively when the chair umpire ruled an apparent ace ticked the net on her second match point.

SEATTLE — Someday the phrase written in black marker on the inside of Braden Bishop’s left arm will be permanent. The numbers and letters spelling out ‘4MOM’ on his forearm and shoes will be a fixture in all Bishop — a junior center fielder at Washington — tries to accomplish. It’ll be a prominent piece of his life when he’s chasing down fly balls, or when he’s nowhere near a baseball field trying to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s. That one number and three letters became a calling for Bishop last September when after months of noticing changes in his mom and subsequent testing, Suzy Bishop was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at age 54. She is one of about 200,000 — or 5 percent of the entire Alzheimer’s patient population — to be diagnosed with early onset of the disease. Bishop, who is from San Carlos, Calif., is regarded as one of the top draft prospects in the Pac-12 Conference with a pro career on the horizon. But just as much of a priority now is raising awareness about a disease that changed the lives of the Bishop family. “As they were explaining it and what the doctor had said and what the future would hold, the whole time I kept thinking, ‘What if my mom doesn’t remember who I am in three years? What if I do get the opportunity one day to make a big league debut and my mom is not going to remember that? All these things are running through my head,” Bishop said. “I think more than anything the overriding thought or theme for me was: ‘How could I make a difference? How could I make this a positive to support her but also one day not have somebody in my shoes have their mom struggle the way I see mine struggle?”’ Bishop’s plans to start a charitable foundation won’t get completely started until after his college career ends, but he’s already formulating ideas, hoping to use his status to eventually help others. Trying to raise awareness was how Bishop decided to cope with his mom’s diagnosis and after some initial hesitation, she supported

PEORIA, Ariz. — Injured Seattle Mariners shortstop Chris Taylor is fighting a familiar frustration after learning he will be sidelined four-tosix weeks because of a broken bone in his right wrist suffered Friday on a foul ball against Milwaukee. “I had a similar feeling last year (after breaking his left) pinkie,” Taylor said. “That’s what happens. It’s baseball. I’ve just got to keep my head up and bounce back.” Taylor initially didn’t think he’d suffered anything more than a bruise. He remained in the game and drove a single back through the box before exiting for a pinch-runner.

through that now.” While the Mariners optioned Hultzen to Tacoma, he won’t necessarily open the season by pitching for the Rainiers. “I know part of that plan,” McClendon said, “is to make sure, at the early part of this, whatever we decide, it’s going to be in warm weather.” That suggests Hultzen could begin the season at Double-A Jackson or remain in Arizona for extended spring training — although Tacoma opens

letting him share their story. “I said, ‘Hey, look, that’s a pretty special thing that you want to do. I think you should ask your mom and see if that’s something that she wants,”’ said Braden’s dad, Randy Bishop. “Shortly thereafter he called her and explained everything to her and Suzy, I think it was at that moment she realized, look, we need to support our son.” “He’s taken it and handled it very well. He’s embraced it and it’s his drive right now to not only succeed on the field but to make sure the Alzheimer’s awareness is out there when he’s off the field.” Rachel Turner of the Alzheimer’s Association of Western Washington said stories like Bishop’s are sometimes the most important for sharing. “It’s such a beautiful thing to have these young people who have so much energy and passion for the cause be involved and they are some of our most successful fundraisers because they have powerful stories,” Turner said. After his mom’s diagnosis, Bishop’s education became more than the classwork for his law, society and justice major. When Bishop learned only 5 percent of all Alzheimer’s cases impact those younger than 60, he realized how much of a fluke it was for his mom to be stricken. Suzy Bishop was a top collegiate distance runner at UCLA in the early 1980s. She ran all the

major marathons and competed in the 1984 U.S. Olympic trials in the event. When the competitive running ended, Bishop turned her career to Hollywood. Not on the screen, but as a producer. She was a wiz with numbers and planning and organization, in her professional and personal life. It’s those skills the disease is attacking. The simplest tasks are challenging. “She can’t write a check because she can’t figure out what lines are for what. When she signs her name she has issues signing her name. It’s tough to keep a calendar,” Randy Bishop said. “She can’t keep too many things at one time.” With the help of Washington’s baseball staff and compliance office, Bishop was able to be part of a powerlifting fundraiser at a local gym that raised $7,000. Baseball is the priority until the end of the season, but there will be more fundraisers — maybe a charity softball game — and eventually making “4MOM” an everlasting fixture. “I guess the biggest thing for me was how can I make people live their lives so one day they don’t regret not being able to take advantage of the time they have with their mom or dad or brother or whoever it may be,” Bishop said. “I’m just hoping the story that I can tell will motivate somebody and just so somebody down the road doesn’t have to go through what I’m going through.”

That optimism faded Friday night as he tried to sleep. “It was throbbing,” he said. “The whole night, it kept getting worse and worse. I probably got about one hour of sleep. It was swelling up a lot. And for it to swell up that much, I knew it might be an issue.” Taylor’s injury effectively ended his battle with Brad Miller for duty as the Mariners’ starting shortstop. Taylor was 8-for-19 in eight games, while Miller is 7-for-17 in seven games. “I’m going to get back as quickly as I can,” Taylor said, “but I’ve got to make sure I’m 100 percent. That’s the most important thing. There’s really no reason to rush it at this point. “Hands are never fun. You

Mariners ace Felix Hernandez, shifted to a simulated game against minor-league players, completely overmatched said minor-league players while throwing 51 pitches (38 for strikes) over 31⁄3 innings. His only problems came from three defensive errors behind him. It was good,” Hernandez said. “Did my work. Feel pretty good. Threw a lot of strikes, working on my stuff, and it was fine.” Plans call for Hernandez to get an extra day of rest before his next start Saturday against the Chicago Cubs in Mesa. He will then get one more spring start before facing the Los Angeles Angels in the season opener.

its season at El Paso and Albuquerque. “It’s something we have to be right on with,” McClendon said, “making sure that this young man is healthy throughout the year. “I will say, if anything, we’re going to err on the side of caution with him. Particularly with the number of innings and the number of pitches per inning with him.” McClendon and other club officials have consistently maintained this year’s goal for Hultzen is to have him ready to make a push next season for the big-league roster. “He wasn’t going to make

this club this year,” McClendon said, “so the best thing to do was to get him out. Let him go get ready for the season. That’s what we’re trying to do.” The moves left 51 players in big-league camp. Lara, 23, was the organization’s co-minor-league player of the year in 2014 after batting .337 with 26 homers and 104 RBI in 135 games at Hi-A High Desert and Jackson. “He’s a very talented young man with the bat,” McClendon said. “My guess is he’ll either be a first baseman or a corner guy. But he can hit. His bat plays. He’s going to be a fine majorleague player.”

The facts

Mariners lefty Roenis Elias took the loss after allowing two runs on six hits in three and two-thirds innings. He was tagged for three consecutive hits with one out in the top of the fourth – singles by Howie Kendrick and Yasmani Grandal, then a run-scoring double by Carl Crawford. That gave Los Angeles a 2-1 lead, which the Dodgers augmented with a two-run home run by Darwin Barney in the seventh inning off reliever Carson Smith. They added another run against Mark Lowe in the ninth. Still, compared to Elias’ two-run, four-hit outing last week against Colorado, Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said he “thought (Elias) threw the ball much better today. Worked a lot faster, commanded the zone a lot better. His secondary stuff was pretty good. I was pleased.”

Play of the game

Facing an 0-2 count against reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw, Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano tagged a double on one hop off the fence in dead center-field.

Plus

The Mariners managed four hits and a run against Kershaw in three-and-athird innings, and worked two walks along the way. Justin Ruggiano and Nelson Cruz each had singles in the first inning. Zunino doubled in the second, and Cano doubled to lead off the third. “I thought my guys were pretty good,” McClendon said. “They grinded their at-bats out, (and) got deep into counts for the most part against a real tough pitcher. We had very professional at-bats against him.”

Minus

Carson Smith faced five batters in the eighth inning and allowed two hits and a walk, including Barney’s homer to left field. … The Mariners batted 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position.

Job battles

The competition for the second lefty spot in the Mariners bullpen continues to intrigue. Tyler Olson pitched the seventh and allowed a baserunner for the first time this spring – a single by Crawford – but erased him with a 1-4-3 double-play and retired the side in order. David Rollins also impressed again, retiring all four batters he faced and striking out two – including an inning-ending whiff of Andre Ethier with two runners on in the fourth. … Elias might have been a little sharper than in his last outing, but he likely needs to keep improving to keep up with Taijuan Walker in the competition for the fifth spot in the starting rotation.

Extra innings

First baseman Logan Morrison made a nice sliding catch of a foul pop-up in the fifth inning. … Danny Farquhar pitched a scoreless sixth inning thanks to three groundball outs. … Attendance was announced at 13,055, the largest crowd of the spring and the sixth-largest to ever see a Mariners game at Peoria Stadium. … The Mariners added their final run in the ninth inning thanks to a throwing error, and James Jones came to the plate as the tying run before grounding out to end the game.

Up next

The Mariners are off on Monday before visiting the White Sox for a 1:05 p.m. game Tuesday at Camelback Ranch in Glendale. Hisashi Iwakuma is scheduled to start for Seattle, with Jeff Samadrdzija scheduled to start for the White Sox.

Tips on how to fill out your bracket NCAA M BRACKET 2 031515: ADDS records and dates; bracket for the 2015 NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Championship; 5c x 8 inches; 245.5 mm x 203 mm; with related stories; staff; ETA 9 p.m.

President Barack Obama fills one out, so does just about everyone you know. Yes, the NCAA Tournament begins this week and that means it’s bracket-picking time. We’re here to help make sense of March Madness. We want to provide you some insight on the 68 teams that were slotted into four regional brackets for the annual sports spectacle that culminates in Indianapolis on April 7. However, be advised that most people win bracket contests by picking the better mascot or team color, so use the following information with caution. Good luck.

Upset watch: 13th-seeded Harvard over fourth-seeded North Carolina is tempting, but we’ll go really off the board. Kevin Ware (you remember the young man who broke his leg playing for Louisville) is in the field with Georgia State, a 14th-seed taking on thirdseeded Baylor. If you believe in made-for-Hollywood stuff ... Never yield: Arkansas is probably the best No. 5 seed in the tourney. Worth noting: BYU has the triple-double machine in Kyle Collingsworth, with six of them already this season. The rest of Division I basketball — combined — has 11. Semifinalists: Wisconsin, Arizona, Arkansas, Xavier. To the Final Four: Wisconsin.

Midwest Region

South Region

Favorite: Kentucky gets to open with either Manhattan — coached by Steve Masiello, who played for the Wildcats — or Hampton, which got in by winning the Mid-Eastern title with a 16-17 record. Upset watch: Many will pick 12th-seeded Buffalo over 5thseeded West Virginia, with good reason. First of all, the Bulls are coached by Bobby Hurley, who went 18-2 in NCAA Tournament games when he starred at Duke. Plus, it’s only a five-hour drive from Buffalo to Columbus, Ohio, so Bulls fans will travel well. (Then again, Ohio State made that same drive to Buffalo last year and lost to THE University of Dayton, prompting one of the greatest front-page headlines in Dayton Daily News history.) They might do it: Butler was picked seventh in the Big East, changed coaches unexpectedly and then gave Chris Holtmann the job on a permanent basis. They’ll have to beat two big-name programs in Texas and (probably) Notre Dame, but why not? Worth noting: Wichita State won’t be happy about its No. 7 seed. Indiana will be ecstatic to just get in as a 10th-seed. Upset watch here, too. Semifinalists: Kentucky, Kansas, Maryland, Butler.

Favorite: Duke. The Blue Devils might see North Florida in their first game; North Florida won the Atlantic Sun, the team whose champion (Mercer) ousted Duke last year in Game 1. Upset watch: UCLA was maybe the most questionable pick of all the at-large teams. Watch the 11th-ranked Bruins now knock out sixth-ranked SMU ... coached by Larry Brown ... who used to coach at UCLA. Of course. Magic McCaffery: Fran McCaffery has done a fine job at Iowa this season, and gets rewarded with a opening game against Davidson in a 7-10 matchup. But if the Hawkeyes survive that one, they figure to have a shot — even in Seattle — of taking down second-seeded Gonzaga. The Zags have been twoand-out in the NCAAs in each of the last five years. Worth noting: Duke’s opening game will be the Devils’ 22nd in North Carolina this season. Semifinalists: Duke, Iowa State, Utah, Iowa. To the Final Four: Duke.

The Great Danes from Albany have become a fan-favorite thanks to the heroics and story of Peter Hooley (being lifted into the air).

Title game: Kentucky vs. Kansas. It’s a rematch of a game from Nov. 18, when Kentucky won 72-40. This one will be closer, but not much. To the Final Four: Kentucky.

East Region Favorite: Villanova, which opens with Lafayette in an allPennsylvania matchup. Villanova and Lafayette are barely an hour apart, and they play in Pittsburgh — basically 4½ hours from both schools. Upset watch: Take a flyer on 13th-seeded UC-Irvine (and 7-foot-6 Mamadou Ndiaye) against fourth-seeded Louisville. One, it’s cool to always pick teams with nicknames like Anteaters. Two, Louisville is only 5-5 in its last 10 games and just doesn’t look as good as it did a few weeks ago, for many reasons.

Worth noting: Tom Izzo’s seventh-seeded Michigan State team could see second-seeded Virginia this weekend. Never count out Izzo in the NCAAs, ever. ... Dayton gets a home game in the play-in against Boise State. Semifinalists: Villanova, Virginia, Northern Iowa, Providence. To the Final Four: Villanova.

West Region Favorite: Wisconsin, which could see Oregon in its second game (a rematch of a 2-7 game last season, won by the Badgers 85-77) but should escape the first weekend pretty easily.

said Self, whose Jayhawks are seeded No. 2 in the Midwest. Other No. 2 seeds are Gonzaga in the South and Virginia in the East. Barnes said Arizona and Virginia were the other teams in the mix for the top seed. He defended placing Duke there, saying the Blue Devils’ road wins over Virginia, North Carolina and Louisville carried more weight than their lack of a conference title. “Those strong, very elite wins, wins on the road — and let’s not forget the eye test with Duke — all were considerations,” he said. Barnes called placing UCLA in the bracket as a No. 11 seed “one of the tougher decisions we had to make.” But he defended putting the Bruins (20-13) in with an RPI of 48, which is 18 spots lower than Colorado State and 14 below Temple. “We felt they were gaining steam,” Barnes said. “They did have a good strength-of-schedule, they were playing better against tough competition. An example is the last game against Arizona (a 70-64 loss in the Pac-12 title game). I think the ‘eye test’ was also a plus in putting them in the field.” The Big Ten and Big 12 led the way with seven teams each in the bracket. Other teams that just missed were Old Dominion and Richmond, which lost out to teams like Ole Miss and Texas that have stronger schedules baked into the cake because they play in major conferences. As is custom, Barnes was short on specifics, though he said Wyoming’s surprise victory in the Mountain West Conference stole away an at-large bid that would’ve gone to Temple — the last team out. The next team out was Colorado State. Rams coach Larry Eutaschy broke away from his team’s “viewing party” to make a brief statement. “They are devastated, and they should be, because they are certainly an NCAA Tournament team,” Eustachy said. The bracket includes its usual share of quirks and tear-jerkers. ■ UCLA’s first game is against SMU, coached by Larry Brown, the 74-year-old turnaround artist who is taking his third team to the NCAA Tournament. The first team? UCLA, of course. ■ Harvard, coached by former Duke star Tommy Amaker, faces his old rival, North Carolina, in the first round. ■ Georgia State coach Ron Hunter watched the bracket unveiling with his left foot in a cast. He tore his Achilles’ tendon while celebrating his program’s first trip to the tournament since 2001. The 14th-seeded Panthers open against Baylor. ■ Also seeded No. 14 is Albany, which made the tournament on a 3-pointer with 1 second left by Peter Hooley, whose mother died six weeks ago from colon cancer. No. 14 Albany opens against Oklahoma. ■ Wichita State is in the same region with Kansas, an in-state program that won’t schedule the Shockers, and Kentucky, which ended Wichita State’s undefeated season last year in the second round. This year, it’s Kentucky that comes in with a ‘0’ in that loss column. “Everyone is zeroand-zero now,” Calipari said. “That’s the key to this. It’s a one-game shot. It’s not best-of-5.”

COMMENTARY | College basketball

UCLA sneaks under the fence, into tourney By Chris Dufresne Los Angeles Times

t was two different Selection Sundays for the two greatest men’s college basketball programs in the history of the NCAA tournament. First off, one of the teams was anointed, not selected. Kentucky, winner of eight national titles, earned the top overall seeding on its way to what everyone thinks might be a ticker-tape parade. Wildcats players didn’t even bother, as is the tradition, to cut down nets after defeating Arkansas in the championship game of the Southeastern Conference tournament. “Those aren’t the nets we’re really looking to cut down,” forward Willie Cauley-Stein said afterward. “We’re looking for

something bigger.” Kentucky is 34-0 and six wins shy of the first 40-0 season in the history of the sport. The Wildcats seek to become the first undefeated NCAA champion since Indiana in 1976. At the other end of the bracket, to the consternation of some, UCLA sneaked under a fence into the field of 68. The Bruins, winners of a record 11 national titles, in the 20th anniversary year of their last, were thrilled to avoid a play-in (first round) midweek game in Dayton, Ohio. Instead, they will play Thursday in Louisville, Ky., against Southern Methodist and one of their former coaches, Larry Brown. The Bruins ranked No. 42 on the selection committee’s seeding list of 68. That’s not great for a program of its pedigree, but

terrific for one that had a suitcase packed for the NIT. Kentucky is this year’s steamroller. As for UCLA, selection committee Chairman Scott Barnes put it this way during an interview televised on CBS: “We felt like they were gaining steam.” Sunday’s announcement produced the usual headlines and hiccups. The last four teams in were Dayton, Boise State, Brigham Young and Mississippi. The first four teams out were, most likely, Temple, Colorado State, Old Dominion and Richmond. Barnes said Wyoming’s unexpected bid steal by winning the Mountain West tournament title knocked Temple out. The committee ranked the top four schools in this order, in these regions: Kentucky (Midwest), Villanova (East), Duke (South), and

Wisconsin (West). Arizona made a case for top spot in the West after it throttled Oregon in the Pac-12 title game, but Wisconsin secured the fourth No. 1 after defeating Michigan State in the Big Ten title game. Virginia actually came in No. 5 in the seeding order, with Arizona at six. Arizona is No. 2 in the West and will open Thursday in Portland against Texas Southern, a pesky No. 15 that has wins this season at Michigan State and Kansas State. West Coast basketball, particularly in Southern California, was down this season but actually rallied late with advances by UCLA and UC Irvine. The Anteaters earned their first NCAA bid by defeating Hawaii to win the Big West tournament. Irvine was put on the No. 13 line

and shipped to the East region to play No. 4 Louisville. The positive news is Irvine got a time-zone gift, opening Friday in the Seattle pod, which should make travel more comfortable for 7-foot-6 center Mamadou Ndiaye. The No. 13 team holds a 25-95 record against No. 4 since the tournament expanded in 1985, but Louisville might be vulnerable following the recent disciplinary dismissal of Chris Jones. Louisville’s woeful three-point shooting — the Cardinals rank No. 309 nationally at 30.4 percent — could also pose a problem against Irvine’s zone and the inside presence of Ndiaye. UCLA got paired, if not on purpose then at least hilariously, against SMU and Brown, who led the Bruins to the championship game in 1980.

Oral appliance therapy offers an alternative treatment solution for obstructive sleep apnea “Easily 50 to 70 percent of the patients that I see are CPAP intolerant,” Crow said “Many of them are referred by their sleep physicians after they have tried CPAP and had trouble with it.” He estimates that about nine out of 10 of the patients who are candidates for the oral appliance option are successful wearing it every night. That’s important because left untreated sleep apnea can seriously damage your health. In fact the American Sleep Apnea Association estimates that 38,000 people die from complications related to this condition each year. Sleep apnea is essentially a series of brief collapses to the airway that interrupt normal sleep. Each collapse usually awakens the person just enough to take a breath. This happens many times each night and sometimes many times each hour. As a result, the sufferer is often not able to get truly restful sleep. People with sleep apnea often don’t know or remember that they have been waking up to take breaths but they typically feel the effects the next day. The body is seriously stressed, often leaving the sleep apnea patient tired and washed out. However, not all patients with sleep

apnea are tired or snore, thus it is estimated that 8 out of 10 patients who currently have sleep apnea are currently not diagnosed. In addition to stressing the body, untreated sleep apnea is also known to contribute to the development or worsening of serious health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, depression, and more. Research demonstrates that sleep apnea may also make it harder to lose weight which is frustrating for patients as weight loss can be beneficial in the

treatment of sleep apnea. CPAP machines are an extremely effective way to treat sleep apnea and are often the first treatment option that a sleep doctor will recommend. Unfortunately, there are many people who don’t find them comfortable for various reasons and that can affect how often and how many hours they use them. With these compliance issues in mind, sleep doctors are now offering patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea the option to try a comfortable, professionally-fitted oral

appliance first. This is not always the best option for someone with severe sleep apnea because oral appliances are not as predictably successful to normalize oxygen levels, Crow explained. It is necessary to evaluate the person’s oxygen levels with the appliance with a sleep study to verify treatment effectiveness. But if that person is not using their CPAP consistently all night, their sleep physician may recommend trying an oral appliance. “Oral appliances can be just as successful as CPAP though it is not an option

for all patients,” Crow concluded. “But doing something to treat your sleep apnea is better than doing nothing at all.” Crow was one of the first dentists in the Snohomish County area to offer oral appliances for both snoring and sleep apnea. He is also a member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine and a Medicare approved DME for oral appliances.

here is an important question that many sleep doctors have for their patients. Are you using your CPAP machine? It’s important to answer honestly, not because the doctor wants to give you a scolding, but because there is an alternative if compliance is an issue. For those CPAP patients who tend to use their machine just part time or not at all, doctors often recommend trying oral appliance therapy. Oral appliance therapy is a comfortable FDA-approved treatment that has been shown to be very effective in the management of obstructive sleep apnea. Unlike CPAP, an oral appliance fits entirely inside the mouth. This discreet device works by holding the jaw in a forward position so the tongue and soft palate don’t cause an obstruction and the airway remains clear. A large number of sleep apnea patients aren’t aware that oral appliance therapy may be an option for them because they haven’t discussed their true level of CPAP compliance with their sleep doctor. Once they do, they often receive a referral to be professionally fitted for an oral appliance from someone such as Dr. Don Crow, DDS, founder of Everett Dental Solutions for Sleep.

Harvick wins second straight Sprint Cup race By Jim Peltz Los Angeles Times

RICK SCUTERI / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Kevin Harvick celebrates after winning a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race Sunday in Avondale, Ariz.

AVONDALE, Ariz. — Joey Logano tried. Brad Keselowski tried. So did Kurt Busch and Jamie McMurray. But there simply was no passing Kevin Harvick for the lead and then keeping him in the rearview mirror as Harvick won the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway. The victory extended a remarkable run for the reigning Cup champion both at the one-mile track here and overall in the Cup series, a run not seen in NASCAR in four decades. It was Harvick’s second win in as many races; he also won a week ago in Las Vegas and thus has captured two of the three races in NASCAR’s early season Western swing. The third race is next Sunday at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. Harvick’s win also was his seventh consecutive finish of first or second going back to last fall, when he captured the series title. The last driver to accomplish that feat was seven-time champion Richard Petty in 1975. “The Richard Petty part, that gives me chills,” Harvick told reporters after celebrating in Victory Lane.

Harvick’s win at the CampingWorld.com 500 also was his fourth consecutive victory at Phoenix International, his fifth in the last six Cup races here and his record seventh Cup win overall at the track. “This is a real special place,” Harvick said of Phoenix International, where the 39-year-old Bakersfield, Calif., native often raced as a young driver. “It’s almost scary how well things are going.” Scary, perhaps, but not surprising. Harvick’s No. 4 Chevrolet, prepared by Stewart-Haas Racing, again was the favorite Sunday not only because of Harvick’s record here but because he was fast in practice and qualified on the pole position. “Today’s race is Harvick’s to lose,” Jeff Gordon said before climbing into his No. 24 Chevrolet. Gordon, in his final full-time season, finished ninth. McMurray finished second, 1.2 seconds behind Harvick, while Ryan Newman was third and Kasey Kahne was fourth. “The (No.) 4 car is on an amazing roll,” McMurray said. Busch, a Harvick teammate, finished fifth in his first race since having his suspension lifted by NASCAR, a suspension that forced Busch to miss the first three races of the season. There were 10 caution periods that bunched the field during

the race, giving the other drivers opportunities to lead after the race restarted. Keselowski, in fact, led 52 laps before finishing sixth. “Those restarts were a little bit nerve-racking,” Harvick said, mainly because the track got increasingly slippery as the race wore on and “the cars were going to slide around.” Even so, keeping Harvick at bay proved fruitless. Each time, he would work his way back to the front, and he led 224 of the race’s 312 laps. Harvick’s crew chief, Rodney Childers, said he felt heightened pressure to win Sunday because of Harvick’s momentum and record at Phoenix International. “When you bring (Harvick) here, I think everybody expects him to win,” Childers said. “I didn’t want it to be my fault if we didn’t.” Now Harvick will try to sweep the Western stretch with his second Cup win at Fontana, a twomile oval where Harvick won in 2011 with a different team. “When we left Vegas last week, (Harvick) made a point to say, I want to win all three of these West Coast races,” Childers said. “Anybody that knows Kevin Harvick, if he puts his head to something, he’s going to try to make it happen.”

MELBOURNE, Australia — Lewis Hamilton joined Arnold Schwarzenegger on the top step of the podium at the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday and in unison they repeated the actor’s trademark phrase: “I’ll be back.” Hamilton was back as the reigning world champion, back as a race winner, and gave every indication that he’ll be back on that top step many more times

this season after sweeping to victory in Formula One’s season-opening race. The Briton led Nico Rosberg in a one-two finish for Mercedes as the team extended it 2014 dominance into the new year. Hamilton led from start to finish and beat his teammate by 1.3 seconds at the Albert Park circuit, with Sebastian Vettel finishing third in his first race for Ferrari. “My team has done an awesome job and it is an

incredible feeling to continue on winning from last year,” Hamilton said. “Nico was very quick throughout the race. It was really trying to manage the fuel and the tires, not knowing the limit in terms of how far they can go. “Once you get a one or two-second gap, you manage that — there is no need to eke out more. When Nico turned up the heat I was able to react.” “Lewis drove like a world champion today, Rosberg said.
