Touted Arlington firm abruptly closes MicroGreen Polymers had drawn attention of investors, Gov. Inslee

By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

ARLINGTON — After attracting more than $40 million from outside investors, MicroGreen Polymers, a hot, up-and-coming

clean-tech company, suddenly closed its doors Friday.

The company, which at one point employed more than 100 people, did not respond to voice mail messages and emails on Monday. But the main phone

number is answered with a recorded message: “We have ceased operations and are closed until further notice.”

Demand for MicroGreen’s eco-friendly InCycle Cups — insulated disposable cups made from recycled materials — seemed to be booming.

The company, which was founded in 2002, was supplying the cups to several airlines.

And it had raised $17 million

from investors in the past two years to pay for expansions to keep up with orders. Those backers included the Stillaguamish Tribe, the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde in Oregon and trash and recycling giant Waste Management.

“Our investors expect big things from us — it’s go-time,” MicroGreen CEO Tom Malone said in a statement last year.

“Production is running 24/7

on our existing lines, while we’re also managing the construction site and training new employees.”

The company had also gotten backing from members of Element 8, a Seattle-based group of angel investors. They do due diligence together but it is up to individual members to invest in a company, said Kristi Growdon, See MICROGREEN, Page A2

County would pay $5.5M for parking slots

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

the buzz

EVERETT — Plans for the county’s new downtown courthouse are picking up where they left off in December, when Everett city leaders blocked the project over parking worries.

More details emerged Monday of a deal to allow the county to

rent 300 parking stalls from the city in a future garage. The compromise was first announced Friday.

The county’s payments would start at $252,000 per year, once the new garage is ready for occupancy. Payments would increase by 1 percent annually over 20 years, totalling about $5.5 million.

“I’m confident at this point that we have a plan and we have a budget and we’re going to move forward,” County Council Chairman Dave Somers said.

There is no timeline for building the garage. City leaders first need to decide where to put it.

One potential option would take out a block of historic buildings on Hewitt Avenue, west of Xfinity Arena. The agreement with the county restricts the location to the area between Broadway and Colby Avenue, east to west, and Hewitt and Pacific avenues, north to south.

There was no vote Monday after county council members discussed the new agreement with Everett. Somers said the understanding will jump-start the $162 million project that county leaders authorized with past votes.

The deal for 300 parking stalls for a new courthouse would have the county pay Everett $252,000 a year to start, with annual increases of 1 percent over 20 years.

OLYMPIA — It’s nasty time inside the state Capitol, where Democratic and Republican lawmakers are digging in for fierce negotiations on a new two-year budget.

A handful of House and Senate negotiators from both parties will begin meeting this week behind closed doors to try to reach agreement on how much the state will spend and exactly where those dollars will go.

There are fewer than 20 days to reach a deal and avoid a special session of the Legislature, and a deal doesn’t seem probable given the differences in partisan budgets passed by House Democrats and Senate Republicans and the volleys of criticism exchanged by their authors.

Consider these examples: ■ When House Democrats rolled out their $38.8 billion proposal, the lead budget writer in the Senate blasted its reliance on money from an unpredictable capital gains tax for public schools.

“Quite frankly, I don’t know if that’s unconstitutional or just unconscionable,” said Sen. Andy Hill, R-Redmond, chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee.

■ A few days later, Hill released the Senate Republicans’ $37.8 billion proposal and the author of the House budget said it relied on “overly optimistic” marijuana

cheaper alternative on hand in case the county needs to go back to the drawing board, given the problems thus far.

“I think it’s important for us to have a backup plan,” Klein said. Options include remodeling the county’s current 1967-vintage courthouse, which the county plans to demolish when a new building is ready, or building a cheaper structure on another site.

Previous councils considered and rejected those ideas.

The nearly $1.4 million it would cost to design a detailed alternative project is simply too steep for the already tight courthouse construction budget, Somers said. That figure was quoted to the county by courthouse architect

Heery International of Atlanta, Thunberg said.

The site the County Council chose for the new courthouse in November 2013, with the support of County Executive John Lovick’s administration, was the most expensive under consideration. Most of the site on the north side of Wall Street, between Rockefeller and Oakes avenues, is a county-owned parking lot. The county also condemned six privately owned parcels, including law offices, to make way for the building’s footprint.

Councilman Terry Ryan also asked Lovick’s staff to provide more details on financing the project and how much extra a looming increase in interest rates would cost when it comes time to take out more

bonds.

“For my vote, I need to make sure I have confidence in the numbers and what they’re based on,” Ryan said.

The city had been pushing the county to supply more than 300 parking stalls. The City Council passed an emergency ordinance on Dec. 24 to back up those demands. The county designed the courthouse with only 30 to 40 spaces and feared complying with Everett’s wishes would bust the budget.

The new garage would help supply demand during events at Xfinity Arena, next to the proposed courthouse.

The Polar Pioneer left Malaysia in early March. It is one of two drill rigs Shell hopes to use for exploratory drilling during the summer open water season in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska’s northwest coast if it can obtain all necessary permits.

Shell last drilled in Arctic Ocean waters in 2012.

Using two vessels, the company drilled pilot holes and performed other preliminary work in both the Chukchi and the Beaufort seas. Shell was prohibited from drilling into oil-bearing rock because it did not have required response equipment on hand.

Shell USA spokeswoman Kelly Op De Weegh said by email that Greenpeace protesters illegally boarded the vessel, called the Blue Marlin, jeopardizing their safety and that of the crew.

She said Royal Dutch Shell PLC has met with groups that oppose energy exploration in Alaska waters.

“We respect their views and value the dialogue,” Op De Weegh wrote. “We will not, however, condone the illegal tactics employed

Seattle-Lynnwood light rail still on track

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

LYNNWOOD — Leaders at Sound Transit are preparing later this month to chart their preferred route for a light rail line to Lynnwood, following the release of environmental studies.

The work stems from a lightrail expansion that voters approved in 2008.

If the project remains on schedule, construction on the northward expansion toward Snohomish County would begin in 2018.

Link light rail trains would

reach Lynnwood by 2023, taking commuters as far as the Lynnwood Transit Center, near I-5 south of 200th Street SW. “We’re happy with the way the project is coming along,” Lynnwood city spokeswoman Julie Moore said.

The Sound Transit board of directors is scheduled to vote on the route and possible stations during its regular meeting, scheduled 1:30 to 4 p.m. April 23.

The preferred route from a future Northgate station would skirt the east side of I-5 through north Seattle and Shoreline. It would cross over to the west side

of the freeway after the Mountlake Terrace Transit Center.

Trains also would stop at stations at 145th and 185th streets in Shoreline.

Additionally, the Sound Transit board asked staff to study the possibility of stations at 220th Street in Mountlake Terrace and 130th Street in Seattle.

Everett City Councilman Paul Roberts, a Sound Transit board member, said he favors the plan that’s being discussed.

“I’m excited that we’re about to make the choice,” he said.

Sound Transit and the Federal Transit Administration issued a final environmental impact

statement last week. The document charts a potential course for the 8.5-mile leg from Northgate to Lynnwood. It addresses comments from a 2013 draft environmental study.

Sound Transit has been in touch with property owners along proposed rail routes, agency spokesman Bruce Gray said.

“Anyone we could have an impact on, they’ve been notified,” Gray said.

Construction crews are now building the light-rail segment between Husky Stadium and Northgate, slated to open in 2021.

Eventually, the light-rail system could reach Everett, probably at least a decade after Lynnwood. In December, Sound Transit leaders agreed to study an alignment that would serve Paine Field en route to downtown Everett.

Voters still must approve a tax increase for the Everett expansion, known as Sound Transit 3 or ST3. That could go to the ballot next year.

For more information go to www.soundtransit.org/ Lynnwoodextension.

Longer wait for Edmonds ferry

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

MARK MULLIGAN / THE HERALD

Ferry users should plan for two weeks of reduced capacity on the Edmonds-Kingston route. Through April 19, plan for 44 fewer vehicle spaces on approximately half of all sailings on the Edmonds-Kingston route. The temporary downsizing is needed while the 188-car Walla Walla normally assigned to the route is out of service for scheduled maintenance. One Jumbo Class ferry, the Spokane, and one Super Class ferry, the Hyak, will serve the route. Ferry riders are advised to plan ahead by preparing for longer than usual wait times at the terminal.

EVERETT — The man with a gun in his hand appeared to be looking for a place to hide in the bushes near Jackson Hall at Everett Community College.

The former student pointed the weapon toward the parking lot.

It was Saturday morning on the largely deserted campus.

Police and college officials reviewed surveillance footage but still aren’t sure what he was doing there.

They initially worried he could have been targeting a gay and lesbian dance scheduled at Jackson Hall that evening, according to court papers. People started setting up for the annual Pink Prom in the morning. The arrest didn’t prevent Saturday classes or the dance from taking place.

For now, college officials are in the dark about the man’s motive.

“We hope to learn that through the (Everett Police Department) investigation,” said Pat Sisneros, EvCC’s vice president for college services. “At this point, we just See SHOT, Page A4

Arlington: Keeping that small town feel, bracing for growth City planners are working with Marysville to attract businesses to the Smokey Point area.

front porch

ARLINGTON — Plans for the future here include expanding growth boundaries, partnering with Marysville to entice industry and keeping a small town feel while bracing for growth.

An update to the city’s comprehensive plan is in the works.

State law requires the plan to be revisited every decade, and Arlington’s deadline is the end of June.

The document isn’t finished, but a first draft was posted to the city’s website last week.

Public hearings are planned by the Arlington Planning Commission and the City Council

before the document is finalized in June.

The comprehensive plan looks ahead 20 years. It touches on housing, land use, transportation, parks and recreation, economic development and public services. The county also has been working to update its comprehensive plan.

Arlington’s population is expected to grow from 18,380 this year to 24,937 by 2035.

About 2,400 new housing units would be needed, based on city estimates.

“We will be tested at times during the next 20 years as we fit more citizens into less space,” according to the draft.

The document calls for expanding the city’s official urban growth area to include several hundred acres west of I-5 between the Smokey Point and Highway 530 exits. It also suggests annexing parts of the Hilltop neighborhood, near the

Saturday. The senior center overlooks Lake Ballinger at

junction of highways 9 and 531, that are not already within the city.

“Because of Arlington’s proximity to population centers and the freeway, growth is inevitable, but not necessarily as a bedroom community,” according to the new plan.

The goal is to have a high ratio of jobs to houses, meaning that people who live in Arlington also work in the city, rather than commuting elsewhere.

Arlington leaders aim to work with Marysville officials to attract employers with a new Manufacturing and Industrial Center. The center would cluster new or growing manufacturing and industrial businesses in the Smokey Point area.

Despite the focus on job growth, city leaders aim to preserve Arlington’s small-town atmosphere. In fact, that’s in the first few pages of the plan and is reiterated throughout the

23000 Lakeview Drive. For more information about the center, its activities and affordable trips, call 425-672-2407.

document. The town’s character can be preserved, in part, by creating design standards for downtown buildings and having a walkable, easy-to-navigate business district, according to the plan.

Some details of the comprehensive plan are specific: provide recycling stations at city buildings and events; prohibit dead-end cul-de-sacs when possible; build small parks within walking distance of neighborhoods; and create incentives for re-purposing old buildings like the American Legion and Masonic halls.

Other ideas are more sweeping, leading to plans within plans. Officials want to take advantage of the city’s perch at the confluence of the north and south forks of the Stillaguamish River by crafting a Riverfront Master Plan. A non-motorized transportation plan could help form a network of trails,

in coming weeks. People are asked to participate. Snail mail and online surveys are available. More info: 425-670-5503, solson@ ci.lynnwood.wa.us.

Police to raise money for Special Olympics: A “TipA-Cop” fundraiser for the Special Olym-

sidewalks and bicycle lanes.

A new drainage plan is suggested for west Arlington, near Island Crossing, where many properties lie in the 100-year floodplain.

The city’s outreach for this year’s comprehensive planning update is less extensive than in the past, when city staff held multiple workshops and meetings.

“It was assumed that the public was comfortable with the Vision and the greatest need was to ensure that current trends and information supported it,” according to the plan.

Information about the planning process is posted on the city’s website, shared through social media and published in the city’s newsletter. People also can fill out a form online at www.arlingtonwa.gov to hear from city staff.

Shot: Suspect, a former student, was seen in surveillance footage of Broadway. The college security officer identified him as the man he saw running from the campus.

A check turned up information that the suspect had a 2008 conviction for first-degree robbery. The homeless man, 25, was arrested for investigation of being a felon in possession

Former cop’s misconduct conviction upheld Herald staff EDMONDS — The state Court of Appeals on Monday upheld the conviction of a former Edmonds police officer who was found guilty of having sex with a woman in his custody.

A Snohomish County jury in 2013 convicted Daniel Lavely

of first-degree custodial sexual misconduct.

Jurors were convinced that Lavely had sex with a woman whom he had escorted out of Andy’s Motel on Highway 99 and placed in his patrol car.

She testified that Lavely asked her for sex while they were parked behind a clothing store.

It is against the law for a

police officer to have sex with somebody they are detaining, even if the contact is consensual.

Lavely was sentenced to a year in jail. He’s also required to register as a sex offender.

Lavely appealed his conviction and argued that there wasn’t enough evidence to prove that he had detained the woman. He

also accused Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Adam Cornell of misconduct, arguing that Cornell had improperly vouched for the victim’s truthfulness while questioning her in front of jurors and during his closing arguments.

The state Court of Appeals disagreed and declined to overturn the conviction.

Doll hospital: Where broken, worn dolls are fixed

By Tad Sooter The Kitsap Sun

SUQUAMISH — The doll’s head hung limply, blonde curls spilling down over sagging shoulders.

Two tiny arms dangled awkwardly. Two delicate feet splayed in unnatural directions. The doll looked sick, and more than a little sad.

“This one is in for restringing,” Nancy Korsak said, tenderly lifting the doll from its perch, “poor little thing.” Another patient is added to Nurse Nancy’s waiting list.

Dozens of dolls await Korsak’s attention in her shop on the outskirts of Suquamish. They gaze unblinkingly down from shelves and recline in rows of boxes. Clear plastic storage containers, stacked floor to ceiling, hold heaps of ceramic legs, glass eyeballs, miniature torsos and obscure fabric.

antique and collectible dolls worth tens of thousands of dollars. Some are drugstore dolls battered by years of hard play.

“I know that if they bring a doll to me, it’s really important to them,” Korsak said. “So I treat it like it’s in my own collection.”

Dolls have been Korsak’s companions since her youth in Seattle. Her parents were busy and seemingly never around.

She had few friends to play with in her early years.

“I loved dolls from the time I was little,” Korsak said. “Dolls were my playmates.”

While the dolls were Korsak’s companions, her grandparents and great aunts were her mentors.

Korsak’s grandfather made shoes at a shop in Ballard. He gave her a small hammer and let her pound tacks into the shoe leather, teaching her to work adeptly with her hands. An aunt gave Korsak sewing lessons. By second grade she was making clothing.

She put her skills to use taking care of her dolls.

“I’ve always been a fixer,” she said.

Korsak knows fewer girls grow up playing with dolls now than when she was a child.

In Korsak’s eyes, dolls have an important role to play in childhood, for girls and for boys.

“They learn how to take care of them, and they learn to love them,” Korsak said. “It helps them to learn to love.”

The Electronic Publishing Industry Coalition named “Totems of September” a finalist in the historical fiction category of its 2015 electronic book competition.

Another literary group, IndieFab, honored the book as a finalist in multicultural fiction during its annual book of the year awards.

Voss previously served on the Mill Creek City Council.

NORTHWEST BRIEFLY

Bellevue: Murder, arson manhunt on Police in Bellevue, Washington, are searching for a 30-year-old man suspected of killing a woman and setting fire to an apartment last week.

Officer Seth Tyler said Monday that Song Wang is wanted for arson and murder. An arrest warrant was issued over the weekend.

Police said he was last seen in Portland, Oregon, on Saturday.

The King County medical examiner’s office said Monday that the woman, 37, died of multiple stab wounds. Tyler said the victim lived at the apartment where she was found.

Police said they don’t know where the suspect lived or what the connection was between the two, if any. Police began investigating after firefighters discovered a woman’s body after extinguishing a small fire inside an apartment unit on the night of March 31.

Burlington: Boy, 2, falls in well, dies Authorities say a 2-yearold boy has died after he apparently fell down an unsecured septic well.

The Skagit County Sheriff’s office said deputies responded to a report of a missing child near Burlington Monday morning. Chief of Patrol Operations Chad Clark told the Skagit Valley Herald that the family of the boy were visiting another family when the boy apparently wandered off.

Deputies discovered the child inside the septic well and efforts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.

Clark told the newspaper the situation “appears to be a tragic accident.”

Ocean Shores: Man, dog rescued A Coast Guard helicopter crew from Astoria, Oregon, rescued a 60-year-old man and his dog after they got lost while hiking near Ocean City on the Washington coast.

The Coast Guard said the helicopter hoisted aboard the Ocean City man and dog and took them to the nearby Ocean Shores airport, where they were met

by Grays Harbor County sheriff’s deputies. Both were reported in good condition.

The man was not identified.

County search and rescue personnel had started looking for the man about 5 p.m. Sunday. His cell phone reportedly died and he had no other way to communicate. Ground searchers relayed the last known location and the air crew used night vision goggles and infrared cameras to look for a heat signature in the swampy terrain. Rescue pilot Lt. Cmdr. Daniel Leary says the hiker had an old

Olympia: Senate passes class-size bill The Senate has passed a measure to modify an initiative to lower class sizes and ask voters whether they agree with the change.

On a 27-22 mostly partyline vote Monday, Senate bill 6088 passed the chamber and now goes to the House for consideration.

Voters in November approved Initiative 1351, which reduced class sizes for all grades, but the cost to pay for the measure was in the billions. The Senate bill only pays for reductions for kindergarten through third grade. That change would go to voters for their approval or rejection.

Lawmakers are in the midst of a 105-day legislative session that is scheduled to end April 26.

They need to write a new two-year operating budget for the state under the shadow of a court-ordered requirement to put additional money toward the state’s education system.

Olympic Nat’l Forest: Injured hiker rescued The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said a 24-year-old Seattle hiker has been rescued after falling 50 feet down a steep embankment over the weekend.

The Peninsula Daily News said a helicopter crew on Sunday morning hoisted Thomas Mackenzie off a slope on The Brothers Mountain on the east side of Olympic National Forest.

Mackenzie was listed in serious but stable condition in Harborview Medical Center in Seattle on Sunday.

The man’s hiking companion called for help Saturday night, saying his friend had struck his head during a fall. The friend had to hike several hours to get cellphone service.

Sheriff’s Detective Brett Anglin said rescue teams tried to ascend the mountain at about 1 a.m.

Sunday but couldn’t reach the injured hiker in the rugged terrain. A helicopter crew from the King County Sheriff’s Department eventually hoisted him out at 4:30 a.m. Sunday.

Port Angeles: Man arrested following pursuit The Clallam County Sheriff’s Office said deputies have arrested a 22-year-old man following a police pursuit west of Port Angeles.

Sgt. Randy Pieper said the man allegedly rammed his father’s car several times Sunday evening during a dispute at his family’s home on the Lower Elwha S’Kallam tribal reservation.

The office said Cody Cornelson, who is not a tribal member, left the scene before officers arrived. He later fled when police officers attempted to stop him while he was driving. He sped away, eventually sliding into a tree and then running away.

He was booked into Clallam County Jail early Monday on investigation of malicious mischief, attempting to elude police and other charges.

Roy: Correct twin charged in robbery Pierce County prosecutors said they now have charged the correct identical twin brother for robbing a grocery store in Roy in September.

The News Tribune said a robbery charge was dismissed against 21-yearold Jacob Johnston after his brother confessed.

Justin Johnston was charged Friday with firstdegree robbery. He is to be arraigned April 17.

Court documents show he allegedly hid alcohol into his pants at a store, shoved the clerk when she tried to block him and rode off on a bicycle.

Records show their mother initially declined to help deputies identify the twin that committed the robbery but later told deputies it wasn’t Jacob.

Deputies listened to Jacob’s jail calls and then confronted Justin Johnston, who reportedly told police he never wanted his brother to go to jail but he was scared.

Seattle: No money for buses, rep says A state lawmaker said he wants to block more state money from going to keep transit buses moving through the construction zone for the Alaskan Way Viaduct tunnel replacement.

The $3.1 billion project has been plagued by delays since the Bertha, the tunnel boring machine, broke down in late 2013.

Rep. Ed Orcutt, a Republican from Kalama, said $17 million in transit aid

earmarked to help Seattle during the tunnel construction should be killed. Orcutt said the city or the tunnel contractor should foot the bill.

“The project is taking longer than it should have.

Should that cost be borne on the state taxpayers’ dime?” he asked. “Or should it be borne by the city of Seattle or by the contractors?”

If the money is cut off, service could be at risk for 150 bus runs a day through the western side of Seattle.

Since 2010, state aid has enabled King County Metro Transit to add 150 runs per weekday in the area.

Authorities said the state has so far forwarded $36.5 million toward extra Seattle buses.

Group wants carbon tax A group called Carbon Washington says it is gathering signatures for an initiative to tax carbon pollution.

They want to tax every metric ton of carbon dioxide emissions of fossil fuels sold or used in the state starting in 2017. The tax goes to $25 a ton in the second year, and gradually increases over time.

Revenues would be used to cut the state sales tax by a point, eliminate business taxes for manufacturers and help working families.

The group must collect nearly 247,000 valid signatures to put Initiative 732 before the 2016 Legislature.

If lawmakers don’t act, it would go on the 2016 ballot.

Spokane: Man loses leg after falling from train A 39-year-old man who fell off of a train had his leg severed when he was struck by the same train.

The accident happened on Sunday morning in the city of Spokane Valley.

The man, whose name was not released, told Spokane County sheriff’s deputies he had hopped a train in Montana, then fell off it in Spokane Valley. The Spokesman-Review said the sheriff’s office reports the man is listed in serious condition at a local hospital.

Some irrigators to receive 60% of normal water The water supply forecast for the Yakima River basin got worse in March. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation announced Monday that holders of junior water rights will likely get just 60 percent of their normal water. That’s significantly worse than the March estimate of 73 percent of

normal. The shortfall is caused by the warm, wet winter that left little snow in the Cascade Range.

Oregon: Cops stop meth headed for Seattle, Tacoma Oregon State Police said two I-5 traffic stops in three days in southern Oregon have netted about 29 pounds of crystal methamphetamine bound from California to Washington state.

Lt. Josh Brooks said Monday that a trooper stopped a vehicle April 1 for a traffic infraction. During a search, a narcotics dog found about 28 pounds of meth in a cardboard box in the trunk. Officers arrested the driver, 40, from Washington, and booked him into the Jackson County Jail for investigation of possession, delivery and manufacturing of a controlled substance.

They said that shipment was bound for Seattle.

On April 3, Brooks said a pound of meth was found after a trooper made a traffic stop on I-5. In that case, a Tacoma man, 44, was arrested for investigation of possession, distribution and manufacturing of a controlled substance.

Brooks said that meth was headed to Tacoma.

Upgrade oil train cars, feds say

By Matthew Brown Associated Press

BILLINGS, Mont. — Tank cars carrying oil or ethanol by rail urgently need to be retrofitted or replaced to make them more fire-resistant after a spate of explosive accidents in recent months revealed the shortcomings of voluntary industry-backed safety standards, U.S. officials said Monday.

The National Transportation Safety Board issued a series of recommendations calling for tank cars to be fitted with protective systems better able to withstand fire than the bare steel construction now widely in use. It said a decade-long retrofit timeline that’s been suggested by the tank car industry was too long to wait.

“The longer we wait, the more we expose the public to the problems of these cars that aren’t especially robust,” NTSB Chairman Christopher Hart told The Associated Press.

One alternative cited by the safety board would equip flammable liquids cars with

ceramic “thermal blankets” that surround the tank and shield it from intense heat should a nearby car catch fire.

Those blankets already are used for transporting liquefied petroleum gas.

Also recommended were relief valves that can prevent pressure from building inside tank cars as they heat up from nearby fires.

The industry in 2011 voluntarily adopted rules requiring sturdier tank cars for hauling flammable liquids such as oil and ethanol. But cars built to the new standard split open in at least four accidents during the past year, including oil trains that derailed and burned in West Virginia in February and Illinois last month.

The recommendations come as the Department of Transportation considers new rules to bolster tank car safety. Oil and ethanol train crashes have stirred widespread worry in the U.S. and Canada, where 47 people were killed when a runaway oil train crashed in Lac-Megantic, Quebec two

years ago.

If the Transportation Department decides it would take too long to retrofit the existing fleet with new protective features, it should consider significant speed restrictions on trains as an interim measure, the NTSB said in its recommendations.

The volume of flammable liquids transported by rail has risen dramatically over the past decade, driven largely by the oil shale boom in North Dakota and Montana. Since 2006, the U.S. and Canada have seen at least 23 oil-train accidents and 33 ethanol train accidents involving a fire, derailment or significant amount of fuel spilled, according to federal accident records reviewed by the AP. The flammable liquids tank car fleet is projected to number more than 140,000 cars by the end of 2015.

Many are owned not by railroads but by the oil and ethanol producers that ship their product via rail. That’s created friction between the energy and rail industries as each

looks to the other to foot the bill for safety improvements.

The Association of American Railroads said in response to Monday’s NTSB announcement that it supports aggressive steps to retrofit or replace the tank car fleet. “Every tank car moving crude oil today should be phased out or built to a higher standard,” the group said in a statement.

Tom Simpson, president of the Railway Supply Institute, which represents tank car users and manufacturers, said companies already have spent more than $7 billion to build tens of thousands of tank cars under the voluntary standard.

Simpson said those companies are ready to do more, but it will take time.

Two Democratic lawmakers, U.S. Senators Pete DeFazio and Ron Wyden of Oregon, urged the Obama administration to move quickly on new rules for oil trains. Regulators need to “get these cars upgraded quickly, or get them off the tracks completely,” Wyden said.

Study: $4B spent on unneeded breast scans

Associated Press

Michele Rouse holds a salad that she made in her kitchen in Edgewood, Maryland. Rouse says she has lost 7 pounds since she started on Weight Watchers a month ago and has already seen a drop in her elevated blood pressure.

Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig get best marks in diet review Associated Press CHICAGO — Trying to slim down? Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig scored the best marks for effectiveness in a review of research on commercial diet programs, but many other plans just haven’t been studied enough to evaluate long-term results.

The two plans are among the most popular and had the best evidence that dieters could lose meaningful amounts of weight and keep it off for at least a year, the review authors said.

Pooling results from several studies, the researchers found that Weight Watchers dieters lost an average of at least 8 pounds and kept it off for at least 12 months versus about 15 pounds for those using the Jenny Craig plan.

Most participants remained overweight, with weight loss of between 3 percent and 5 percent of their initial weight — but that’s a range that doctors typically recommend to

achieve healthful benefits including lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

“It’s a really important first step to reach,” even if it doesn’t meet patients’ expectations, said study author Dr. Kimberly Gudzune, an internist and researcher at Johns Hopkins University’s medical school.

The study was published Monday in Annals of Internal Medicine.

The research review included 39 rigorous studies involving 11 popular diet programs that include support or counseling services and involve fees for products or services. Most studies compared the programs with standard diet information or behavioral counseling patients get from health care providers; long-term results for Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig were mostly better than the comparisons.

The researchers didn’t attempt to make head-tohead comparisons of different

diet plans. They note that the Affordable Care Act makes obesity screening and counseling more accessible to many Americans, and that with two-thirds of U.S. adults overweight or obese, it’s important for doctors to know which diet plans work.

Diet companies had no role in the research, Gudzune said.

Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig include behavioral counseling, coaching or social support — important for long-term weight-loss success, according to an Annals editorial.

Weight Watchers costs about $43 monthly, which includes costs for attending online or in-person support groups or coaching sessions.

Participants can buy the company’s low-calorie products or buy their own food, but each item is assigned points and dieters aim not to exceed a daily point limit.

Jenny Craig provides premade meals and costs about almost $600 monthly.

Clinton campaign expected to launch in next 2 weeks Herald news services WASHINGTON — After months of anticipation, Hillary Rodham Clinton is expected to launch her presidential campaign sometime in the next two weeks with an initial focus on intimate events putting her in close contact with voters.

Cuba terror listing holds up American embassy in Havana American hopes of opening an embassy in Havana before presidents Barack Obama and Raul Castro meet at a regional summit this week have been snarled in disputes about Cuba’s presence on the U.S. list of state sponsors of terror and U.S. diplomats’ freedom to travel and talk to ordinary Cubans without restriction, officials say.

The Summit of the Americas will be the scene of the presidents’ first faceto-face meeting since they announced Dec. 17 that they will re-establish diplomatic relations after a half-century of hostility.

Negotiators on both sides said they are confident they will be able to strike a deal to reopen embassies in the coming weeks but not necessarily before the summit.

Yemen: Fighting intensifies Pitched fighting intensified Monday in Yemen’s second-largest city, Aden, leaving streets littered with bodies, as Shiite rebels and their allies waged their strongest push yet to seize control of the main bastion of supporters of their rival, the country’s embattled president. The fierce fighting in the southern port city on the Arabian Sea raises doubts over the possibility of landing ground forces from a Saudi-led coalition backing President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi to try to carve out an enclave to which Hadi, who fled the country two weeks ago, could return. Saudi Arabia has asked Pakistan to contribute soldiers to the military campaign, as well as air and naval assets, Pakistan’s defense minister said Monday.

Turkey: Social media blocked over images

Associated Press WASHINGTON — Sharpening a medical debate about the costs and benefits of cancer screening, a new report estimates that the U.S. spends $4 billion a year on unnecessary medical costs due to mammograms that generate false alarms, and on treatment of certain breast tumors unlikely to cause problems.

The study published Monday in the journal Health Affairs breaks the cost down as follows: $2.8 billion resulting from false-positive mammograms and another $1.2 billion attributed to breast cancer overdiagnosis. That’s the treatment of tumors that grow slowly or not at all, and are unlikely to develop into lifethreatening disease during a woman’s lifetime.

The cost estimates cover women ages 40-59.

Breast cancer is the second most common cause of death from cancer among American women, claiming nearly 41,000 lives a year.

Annual mammograms starting at age 40 have long been considered standard for preventive care, because cancer is easier to treat if detected early. But recently there’s been disagreement about regular screening for women in their 40s. It parallels the medical debate about the pros and cons of prostate cancer screening for men.

Study authors Mei-Sing Ong and Kenneth Mandl say their findings indicate that the cost of breast cancer overtreatment appears to be much higher than previously estimated. Their $4 billion figure is the midpoint of a range that depends upon assumptions about the rates of false-positive mammograms and breast cancer overdiagnosis.

Around the World

convey the same cloak of inevitability that contributed to her loss in the 2008 Democratic primaries to Barack Obama.

The goal, according to people close to the Clinton organization, is to make her second run for the White House more about voters and less about herself, regardless of her place atop a field of candidates that currently looks far weaker this time around.

“For Secretary Clinton, it’s about being at the level with the people,” said Robert Gibbs, a longtime political adviser to President Obama.

“You’re demonstrating to people that you’re on the ground ready to work each and every day for that vote.”

Across the U.S. Cow milk found in breast milk bought on Internet Researchers who tested 102 samples of breast milk purchased from popular milk-sharing websites found that 1 in 10 contained substantial amounts of cow DNA. Further tests ruled out the possibility that the cow DNA was the result of minor or incidental contamination and suggested that the tainted breast milk had probably been mixed with cowmilk-based baby formula.

Voters prefer legal weed to presidential candidates In three key swing states, marijuana legalization is more popular than any potential 2016 presidential contender.

That’s according to a Quinnipiac University poll conducted in March. More than 80 percent of adults in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida support medical marijuana, according to the survey. Fifty-one percent of Pennsylvanians, 52 percent of Ohioans and 55 percent of Floridians also support legalizing small amounts of marijuana for personal use.

EBay merchants moving to Amazon Surging sales are reported by retailers who have set up online stores on Amazon, with its bigger user base and massive order fulfillment structure.

By Spencer Soper Bloomberg News

SAN FRANCISCO — EBay’s once-loyal merchants are moving more of their business to Amazon.com, saying they get more for their money by selling merchandise via the Web retailer.

Amazon’s pool of merchants doubled to about 2 million in

2014, while the number of sellers on eBay has remained flat at 25 million in the past two years.

Businesses that at first set up online storefronts on eBay say they’re surprised how quickly sales surge on Amazon once products appear on both sites.

The move to Amazon, which boasts a bigger user base and offers more ways to ship

merchandise, poses a threat to eBay, which pioneered the idea of an Internet marketplace where merchants big and small could hawk wares.

“We saw sales drop 10 percent on eBay and gain 10 percent on Amazon,” said Chance Knapp, chief executive officer of Vivo Technology, a laptop parts and accessories business, about a few product lines he moved last year. “It was like customers were actually shifting from eBay to Amazon.”

EBay is already under pressure, chalking up lackluster

holiday-quarter sales and suffering a marketplace traffic slowdown that CEO John Donahoe blamed on changes in the way Google handles shoppingsearch results. EBay is spinning off its PayPal division this year after pressure from activist investor Carl Icahn, who lamented sluggish gains in the online shopping division.

Businesses’ relocation to spur hundreds of new jobs Electric Mirror and CORT Business Services will move to a new building in south Everett’s Seaway Center.

By Jim Davis The Herald Business Journal

EVERETT — Two businesses that employ hundreds of workers in Snohomish County plan to relocate to the Seaway Center of south Everett to a new building expected to start construction this week.

Electric Mirror, which manufactures mirrors for high-end hotels and homes, expects to

expand to 500 employees over the next three years with the move.

CORT Business Services, which rents equipment for events and parties, will consolidate its operations in Mountlake Terrace and Mukilteo to the site.

The businesses will occupy a $20 million, 200,000-squarefoot building at 6201 Associated Blvd. being developed by the Underwood Gartland Development.

The Bellevue-based development company purchased 25 acres from Cemex in December 2011 looking for land to develop.

The company plans to build a second 200,000-square-foot

building on the same land in the future, said Shannon Underwood, one of the company’s owners.

“We like it up there, so we would look forward to working more up in Everett,” Underwood said. “We’re a family company so we do one project at a time.”

Underwood Gartland has built several other projects mainly on the east side and Woodinville area. The south Everett development is next to the Cemex property and Campbell’s Stock Pot. Electric Mirror is currently located at 11831 Beverly Park See relocation, Page A8

IRS’ automated notices frighten taxpayers

Y

biz bits

ou are not alone.

When I wrote recently about getting a letter from the IRS saying my husband and I owed $12,255 in back taxes, interest and penalties that was the result of an erroneous 1099 form, I opened a floodgate of fellow sympathizers.

They too had received a “CP2000 Notice.” The notice is part of the electronic era of the IRS where lots of taxpayer contact is initiated through automation.

Now, when someone initiates a call saying they are from the IRS and demanding immediate payment, it’s a scam.

Profitable airline rewards CEO with pay raise Southwest Airlines Co. earned a record profit last year and CEO Gary Kelly benefited with a 24 percent increase in compensation, to $5 million, a regulatory filing shows.

The bulk of Kelly’s compensation came in stock awards, which the Dallas-based airline valued at $3 million when they were issued, up from $2.25 million in 2013. Kelly was paid a salary of $675,000 — unchanged from the previous two years — a bonus of $224,775 and incentive pay of $904,770. Southwest is the fourth-biggest U.S. airline company by passenger traffic. Last year it earned record net income of $1.14 billion on rising traffic and average fares and falling jet fuel costs.

Service firms show healthy growth

Bloomberg News HOUSTON — Refiners are poised to make gasoline at a record pace this year, keeping the biggest U.S. crude glut in more than 80 years from overflowing storage.

They’re enjoying the best margins in two years as they finish seasonal maintenance of their plants before the summer driving season. They’ll increase output to meet consumer demand and they’ve added more than 100,000 barrels a day of capacity since last summer, when they processed the most oil on record.

Booming crude production expanded inventories this year by 86 million barrels to 471 million, the highest level since 1930. Analysts from Bank of America to Goldman Sachs have said storage space may run out.

What looks like an oversupply to banks is turning into an all-you-can-eat buffet for those making gasoline and diesel fuel.

Goldman Sachs and Bank of America say the risk of breaching storage capacity has increased, sending prices tumbling. West Texas Intermediate oil, the U.S. benchmark, already has lost more than half its value since June as growing U.S. shale production led to a global oversupply.

Inventories surged as U.S. output rose 71 percent over the past five years as drillers used techniques like horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to tap previously inaccessible oil in shale rock layers.

Under this program, for the most recent year, the IRS made about 3.7 million contacts with taxpayers resulting in tax assessments of just over $5.9 billion.

Even when you know you’re right, getting such a notice from the IRS can send chills up your spine because the agency has some gargantuan collection powers.

So after hyperventilating with four children wanting my attention in the background, I got it together and looked into their claim. The big mistake they made was they forgot a decimal. The 1099 said my husband made $750 and they had it as $75,000.

U.S. service firms expanded at a slightly slower yet still healthy pace in March, an encouraging sign after multiple reports last week pointed to a slowing economy. The Institute for Supply Management said Monday that its services index slipped to 56.5 last month, from 56.9 in February. Any reading over 50 indicates expansion. A measure of sales fell last month and dragged down the overall index. But gauges of hiring and orders rose, evidence that service firms may see solid growth in the coming months.

That suggests that recent signs of a weakening economy could prove temporary.

“Based on this survey, rumors of the demise of the U.S. economy have been greatly exaggerated,” Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said in a note to clients.

VW seeks to expand planned expansion Volkswagen is seeking to add to a planned expansion announced last year to produce a new sport utility vehicle in Tennessee. The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports documents show the automaker wants to add an additional 130,153 square feet to the original expansion, 25 percent more than first planned. The additional expansion will add about $18 million to the $900 million project.

Elvis acts banned at Priscilla’s Vegas chapel The King will not appear at Elvis Presley’s Graceland Wedding Chapel that’s coming soon to Las Vegas — exactly how Priscilla Presley wants it.

Priscilla Presley has been involved in the look and feel of the chapel that officials say is part of the first permanent Graceland exhibit of the singer’s artifacts outside his Memphis, Tennessee, home.

Road in unincorporated Everett, about five miles to the south of the new location.

Electric Mirror has been looking for a new headquarters for about a year and a half. The company creates a line of mirrors with lights, televisions and other electronics built in.

The company has experienced 30 to 50 percent growth in each of the past four years.

And they expect to make $55 million to $60 million in sales this year, said Don Jacques, Electric Mirror’s

chief operating officer.

“The growth and success of this company has outpaced our warehouse and office space,” Jacques said.

Electric Mirror uses two warehouses at its current location. While the buildings are close to each other, the company has a truck that has to take finished mirrors from one warehouse, through a neighborhood and deliver them to the second warehouse to store before being shipped out.

It’s so crowded that the company runs its marketing department out of a trailer in the parking lot.

Electric Mirror looked at new locations between Arlington and Kirkland before settling on the south Everett location, Jacques said.

They will use 110,000 square feet of the new building when they move into the property, which is scheduled for December.

Electric Mirror is working with Pinnacle Consulting Group in Snohomish to fashion an efficient layout for their organization, Jacques said.

“The Underwood Gartland people, they’ve been very understanding of us as a business and they come with great references,” Jacques said.

Electric Mirror had about 260 employees last year, but president and CEO Jim Mischel Jr. said they plan to expand that to 500 with this relocation.

It’s consolidating ABC Special Events in Mukilteo and AA Party Rentals in Mountlake Terrace to a showroom and warehouse in 87,000-square-feet of the building, said Robin Guffey, a district general manager, in an email.

The company rents equipment for events and parties for weddings, festivals including Bumbershoot in Seattle, Salmon Days in Issaquah and Sasquatch at the Gorge. CORT, which is scheduled to move into the new property in February, will employ between 80 to 120 depending upon the time of the year.

they should have double checks in the department before causing such anxiety and stress for the taxpayers.”

Jan from Louisiana had her own heart-stopping moment. “Our IRS letter stated that we owed the exact amount that we had voluntarily paid as federal income tax on our Social Security. I could not make any headway with an IRS agent over the telephone, so we went to the IRS office here in Baton Rouge. The agent agreed that we had paid the correct federal income tax.”

Fred, from Woodbridge, Virginia, said “These letters

are scary. The IRS said I hadn’t reported income from a 529 distribution for my granddaughter. Huh? That money is tax-exempt!

I told them so and it all ended. But what about the wasted time, scary feelings, and utter frustration for the folks trying to do the right thing?”

In my case, I quickly mailed my response with proof we didn’t owe the money — certified mail, a precaution I wanted to take. After you respond, you should receive a letter from the IRS in 30 to 60 days with a determination, based on the information you provide, a spokesman said.

The IRS says that the majority of taxpayers agree

and ensuring products are shipped in a timely manner. Both companies have complex price formulas that vary by product category. While eBay typically charges about 10 percent of each item’s final sale price, Amazon takes 15 percent in most cases, with additional fees for optional storage and packaging.

Many sellers say Amazon is worth the extra expense to achieve greater sales volumes and that it’s cheaper to let Amazon handle logistics than do it themselves.

Some readers said they were able to quickly clear up the issue. “I have a couple times made mistakes in my return that resulted in a letter such as yours (but not as huge!), and I have found the IRS staff helpful and courteous. A polite, business-like, well-documented letter in response to theirs produced prompt and correct results.”

eBay encouraged sellers to move inventory to Amazon, and the gap widened, according to Scot Wingo, ChannelAdvisor’s CEO. By the last three months of 2014 — critical for retailers because of holiday shopping — ChannelAdvisor saw its clients’ Amazon sales rise 33 percent from a year earlier, compared with 5 percent growth on eBay. “EBay remains a good part of the business, but it’s on life support and the growth is on Amazon,” Wingo said.

Chris Matsakis, president of daily-deal site DealGenius.com in Chicago, said that as recently as 2013 sales on eBay exceeded those on Amazon’s marketplace. Last year, his revenue via Amazon grew fivefold, and are now four times greater than sales on eBay, he said.

“We’re seeing significant growth on Amazon where eBay has sort of plateaued,” Matsakis said.

an error, you may still run into issues, said Michael Martin, a Washington, D.C.-based “enrolled agent,” which is a tax practitioner approved by the agency to represent people before the IRS. “All I’m doing is CP2000 notice business,” Martin said. “A lot of people look at these forms and blank out.

Latest tests offer advantages a better indication of each child’s strengths and weaknesses in a particular subject.

■■Test results are expected to available sooner and should provide more meaningful information about each student’s progress in a format that students, parents and teachers will have access to.

■■For juniors in high school, the SBA’s math tests could also offer better placement in college math and English courses. Scores in the 11th grade test will set one or four levels for each student. Scores in the first two levels will direct students into a course in their senior year that will prepared them better for college. Scores in the higher levels will, through coordination with the state and private universities and colleges, will offer them courses better matched to their knowledge.

The test for 11th graders

is expected to be used as a graduation requirement, but that use is being phased in.

High school juniors this year and next will take the previous standardized test as well as the new SBA test. Passing either will fulfill the graduation requirement.

The additional work that juniors are putting in to complete two tests will allow state administrators to calibrate the new tests against the old so a fair standard can be set for graduation. (If you know a high school junior or sophomore, buy her or him a cup of coffee or find another way to thank them for the extra effort they’ll be putting in.)

Parents and the general public can take various practice tests at tinyurl.com/ SBApracticetests. Click on the green box that reads “Student interface practice and training tests.”

Students already have received some training in the test, familiarizing themselves with how to enter their answers. Likewise, the Everett School District has invested in the necessary infrastructure to keep glitches to a minimum during testing. The district spent $1.7 million on 3,400 laptops, which also are available for classroom use.

The district also has spent the money to enhance Internet accessibility in the schools.

Even with the state launching the new tests, a few in the Legislature still are dithering over whether or not to back the tests and the Common Core standards for which they were developed. While student testing will continue to see changes in content and method, state officials and lawmakers should settle on a testing protocol and let students adjust and move on.

alleviate traffic congestion, increase freight mobility and increase job center connectivity were left out. Those projects are the Paradise Lake Road interchange and the widening of Highway 522 from Highway 524 to the Snohomish River. Residents who live in the Maltby and Echo Lake neighborhoods, as well as commuters to and from Monroe, are intimately aware of the bottleneck that exists on Highway 522.

The last significant transportation investment by the state was in 2005. There is no telling when the Legislature will invest in our road infrastructure again.

Let’s not wait another 10 years to fix an obvious problem that is only getting worse. You can send a message to the Legislature to include these projects at www.fix522.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■LEGISLATURE

Gun-lock bill worth supporting Regarding Mr. Ronald Castleberry’s letter, “Keep guns away from kids, period”: Although there has been a sales tax exemption on gun safes for some time, some people only own one or a couple of guns and a safe is too expensive for housing so few firearms. Mark Harmsworth, Rep. 44th Legislative District, has introduced HB 2031 to include gun locks in that sales tax exemption. This legislation just might encourage gun owners to lock up their guns, if it passes. This is another effort to keep guns away from kids, and others not authorized to handle them. It may not be much, but it would cost very little and if it saves a single life it is worth the effort. I would like to suggest to all voters that they contact their representatives to support this bill. The bill doesn’t make it a crime to not lock up your guns, but would hopefully encourage law abiding gun owners to take a simple step to buy and use gun locks, to provide some safety to others.

If you own a gun I would also suggest you research gun safety classes online or through the NRA website. Everyone should be taught the first four rules of gun safety: Always treat every gun as if it were loaded (whether you have checked it or not); never point a gun at anything (anyone) you are not willing to destroy (kill); always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction; be aware of what is behind/around your intended target.

Salt is not the same as sodium I would like to clarify a statement made in your “Demand healthier options” editorial.”

You state the American Heart Association recommends “2,300 milligrams of salt or less per day.” This is incorrect, it should be 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day not salt.

Sodium and salt are not the same thing or interchangeable. Salt has two elements, sodium and chloride. So you have to include the weight of the chloride when calculating the correct amount of salt. This works out to about 6,000 milligrams of salt, a big difference from 2,300.

So when measuring using volume, the table salt will weigh more because it is more tightly packed.

The governor’s original transportation budget included only $81.1 million in projects for Snohomish County. Thanks to the work of Sen. Hobbs, Sen.

Why vote out any comic strips?

Why is there now an online vote to replace a comic strip with “Phoebe the Unicorn,” when all last week it was added in a space next to the Super Quiz? Please just keep it in that spot and then we won’t have to read the onslaught of “you dumped my comic, so I am going to dump The Herald” letters to the editor that everybody knows will be coming. I would understand the deletion of a comic strip that is ending due to retirement, death, etc., but to end a strip that is currently being written and telling a ongoing tale daily, especially when you have already squeezed in Phoebe, to me, just doesn’t seem logical. Why should any comic be voted out? Modify the comics section to add Phoebe but also keep the current strips for all of us to read and share. Do the right thing, Herald!

IN OUR VIEW | Student testing

Early next week students in the Everett School District’s third- though eighth and 11th grades will begin their annual round of testing in math and language arts subjects, but this year marks a shift to a new method of testing.

As outlined Monday by Herald Writer Chris Winters, students will trade the use of a pencil to fill in bubbles on a multiple-choice test for an online test using laptop computers, Google Chromebooks.

The tests, called Smarter Balanced Assessment would appear to offer some advantages over the No. 2 pencil and a paper form, for the advancement in technology alone.

Among the improvements: ■■The tests are adaptive, meaning that depending on how well the student is answering questions, the test adjusts, moving to easier or harder questions to provide

‘Unicorn’ strip not up to standards Earlier in the week I submitted our vote for our favorite comic in The Herald (“Pooch Cafe”) and sent a separate email telling you my husband’s and my top 10 favorites.

We got to talking about your poll to decide which current strip to delete and realized that we both dislike the new strip “Phoebe and her Unicorn.” First, we are in our 70s and I am a life-long fan of the mythical unicorn. The personality of the one in the new strip is too vain for my liking.

It does not capture the gentle nature attributed to unicorns in classic literature. Also, my favorite cartoons have always been those with well-drawn illustrations. Both my husband and I find the drawings of the unicorn in the strip unattractive. Her pointed muzzle and receding chin are not horselike as her body is.

And when her mane is showing in profile views, it is curled up toward her chin, making it appear she has an overlarge, open mouth.

We vote for keeping the current roster and dropping “Phoebe and Her Unicorn.”

Iran deal better than expected and alternative

T

he framework agreement over Iran’s nuclear program dramatically changes the Middle East. Hardliners and hawks may complain all they want, but things will never go back to the way they were.

I believe the change is clearly — perhaps historically — for the better. In that part of the world, however, there is always the possibility that things EUGENE ROBINSON will get worse. What is certain is that the post-1979 status quo of deaf, dumb and blind hostility between Iran and the West has ended. At President Obama’s initiative, a new phase of the relationship has begun.

The deal itself appears to place considerably tougher restrictions on Iranian nuclear activities than skeptics had expected. Iran would have fewer uranium enrichment centrifuges and more years of comprehensive restrictions and monitoring than anticipated.

I must add the important caveat that many technical issues remain to be worked out. For me, here is the biggest unanswered question: What happens if international inspectors come to suspect the existence of an undeclared nuclear facility somewhere in the Iranian hinterland? Do they have the right to go anywhere in the country and look at anything they want?

When New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman asked Obama that question, the president gave this response: “Obviously, a request will have to be made. Iran could object, but what we have done is to try to design a mechanism whereby once those objections are heard, that it is not a final veto that Iran has, but in fact some sort of international mechanism will be in place that makes a fair assessment as to whether there should be an inspection, and if they determine it should be, that’s the tiebreaker.”

Translation: Um, we’re working on that.

But think for a second. What ability do we have right now to even identify potentially suspect nuclear facilities in Iran, let alone inspect them? Not much. We know what our satellites and spies tell us, but Iran is a huge country — and we’ve been surprised in the past to learn of nuclear sites we’d previously known nothing about. If there are undeclared facilities, we’ll have a much better chance of finding them if inspectors are on the job. So even on this shaky question, the deal is an improvement.

One more point about the agreement itself: The restrictions are intended to ensure that the “breakout” time for Iran to produce enough fuel for a nuclear weapon, should it decide to do so, would be at least a year. At present, the necessary fissile material could be produced in two or three months.

The alternative to this deal, critics say, is a better deal. But how would that be achieved? Most hawks advocate more sanctions, which haven’t stopped Iran from building a vast nuclear infrastructure. A few bellicose voices call for military action, which would set back the Iranian nuclear program by a few years, but likely make the government irrevocably determined to build a bomb.

The argument will rage about the merits of the agreement. But what the negotiators achieved in Lausanne, Switzerland, will be difficult to complete but even harder to undo.

Hardly mentioned in the debate here is the fact that the United States was joined in the talks by Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany. If the Senate decides there should be draconian new sanctions, that’s all well and good. The idea might sell in Paris, where the government has been notably hawkish. But it probably won’t in London or Berlin, and definitely won’t in Moscow or Beijing.

The regime in Tehran is an odious theocracy, but like most governments it displays an interest in self-perpetuation.

With its size, population and oil wealth, Iran does not need nuclear weapons to be a regional superpower. What it needs is the economic development that will come as sanctions are lifted.

I believe the Iranians have decided that for now, at least, it makes sense to mothball the nuclear program and build a greater nation. Obama and the allies are gambling that after a decade or so of growing prosperity, Iran’s influence in the region will become less malign. That’s not a sure bet, but there’s no real alternative to taking it.

Amid all the historic upheavals we’re seeing in the Middle East, this is one of the biggest.

Budget: Leaders are both former Microsoft employees From Page A1

tax revenues and mystery cuts in spending.

“The Senate’s budget assumes millions in magic agency ‘efficiencies,’ which are essentially budget gimmicks designed to make cuts without being specific about which cuts they’re making,” said Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.

But in Olympia, there’s a rhythm to the ritual, and such rhetoric is the first beat.

Hunter and Hill, who are both well-spoken, detail-oriented former employees of Microsoft, will be steering the talks in pursuit of a compromise before the scheduled end of the session on April 26.

The players There will be about a dozen people deeply involved. The Democratic and Republican caucus in each chamber will designate two negotiators and have their respective leaders engaged, as well.

Gov. Jay Inslee is scheduled to meet this week with negotiators — individually and collectively — for a frank conversation about his interests. This can be critically important because lawmakers want an idea at the outset what decisions the governor might embrace or oppose.

No one wants to waste time on a matter that could get vetoed.

Hunter said he hoped to meet with Hill as early as Wednesday so they can get a handle on the calculations — mathematical and political — that went into their respective plans.

“I can’t really negotiate with them until I understand what they’re doing,” Hunter said.

House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan, D-Covington, and Sen. John Braun, R-Centralia, vice chairman of the Senate budget committee, are the other members of the caucus negotiating teams.

Quite frankly, I don’t know if that’s unconstitutional or just unconscionable.”

— Sen. Andy Hill, R-Redmond, chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, blasting the House Democrats’ budget’s reliance on money from unpredictable sources.

The Senate’s budget assumes millions in magic agency ‘efficiencies,’ which are essentially budget gimmicks designed to make cuts without being specific about which cuts they’re making.”

— Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee

At the outset, there are a slew of big boulders to crack, none larger than how much to spend in the two-year budget, or, in the language of Olympia, “the size of the box.”

The differences The House plan spends $1 billion more than the Senate’s.

It’s likely the final figure will be somewhere in between, which would force Democrats to curb their desires and Republicans to agree to spend more in some areas than they would like.

Another huge boulder is taxes.

The Democratic plan seeks to raise $1.5 billion, mostly from a capital gains tax and an increase in the business tax paid by lawyers and other professionals.

Senate Republicans insist new or higher taxes are not needed.

Pay hikes for state workers is an obstacle. The House fully funds pay raises negotiated under collective bargaining agreements, while the Senate does not, instead offering an alternative

that would cost $66 million less.

There’s also a chasm between the chambers on pay hikes for teachers, expansion of early childhood education, freezing or reducing tuition, and whether to suspend Initiative 1351 or allow voters to modify the measure to lower class sizes.

And on marijuana tax revenue, Democrats would put it into health care while Republicans would put it into public school funding. Unraveling that knot will affect other decisions, lawmakers said.

Even as the negotiators banter on large issues, they and their staffers are going line-by-line through the 500-page tomes in search of agreement on lesscostly matters.

For example, the Senate would provide $2.4 million for Washington State University to add classes at the University Center on the campus of Everett Community College. The House would allocate $1.8 million.

And House Democrats want $28.6 million for state parks and

$4.6 million for LIDAR mapping of landslide-prone areas, while Senate Republicans would spend $5 million for parks and nothing for the additional mapping.

Reaching a deal After this week’s initial round of meetings, an unpredictable pace will ensue.

There are no rules for the frequency of conversations or how quickly the two sides might begin exchanging written offers, let alone reach a tentative agreement. In areas where disagreement is deep, lawmakers with expertise in those areas might be summoned to help break an impasse.

When a tentative agreement is reached, it is presented to leaders of the four caucuses, then the members. Each caucus will conduct some version of a vote count, because it is presumed that any deal will pass with some level of bipartisan support.

Even when there’s a deal, much work remains as staff members meticulously ensure the documents possessed by the two sides match to the penny and the bills needed to implement the budget match to the comma.

Through it all, House Speaker Frank Chopp, D-Seattle, and Senate Majority Leader Mark Schoesler will never be far from the negotiations. And as the two chambers close in on a deal, they’ll be in contact, directly or through intermediaries.

If talks stall, the governor will speak with leaders of all four caucuses on how to get around the obstacles.

Lawmakers don’t want to reprise the drama of 2013, when they struggled through two special sessions before reaching a deal hours before a partial shutdown of state government.

“We’re well-positioned to get it done on time,” said Rep. Bruce Chandler, R-Granger, one of the House Republican negotiators.

“From my experience, members will take the same vote in July that they would have taken in March. It’s not like making wine. It doesn’t get better with age.”

Getting it right is more important than getting it done by April 26, Hunter said.

Lawmakers are writing a budget and operating documents to guide the state for the next two years, setting a course through the next four years, Hunter said.

There is an “existential change” from previous years because it must infuse billions of new dollars into education to comply with a state Supreme Court order for the state to fully fund public schools.

“The whole budget has to be restructured. Getting that right is job one. We’re clearly working hard to get it done in 105 days,” he said. “I think the public should be more focused on what is it that we’re doing than the exact number of days.”

PAUL SCHOENFELD FAMILY TALK

Study your life, from ‘Boyhood’ to adult

S

everal weeks ago, I was home recovering from a cold. Unable to do much, I found a manila envelope filled with letters I wrote to my mother when I was in my early 20s. She kept these letters, and returned them to me when she was cleaning out a closet.

They were typed on onionskin paper or handwritten.

This is how we communicated in the 70s. We called each other rarely — long-distance calls were expensive. Some letters were from when I was in college, but most of them were from my early years in graduate school in San Francisco.

When she sent me the letters in the mid 1990s, she enclosed a note — “I just spent four hours reading the contents of this envelope. I’m glad that I saved these letters because they point out so clearly how we are continually changing but in some ways stay the same. The occurrences I remembered very clearly were the intense loving experiences and the uncomfortable disputes. I must say that after reading our history of those years, I am filled with a sense of wonder. You loved me … no matter what big mistakes I made!! I’m too old to keep these letters now. They document your history and belong to you. Thank you for the joys you have brought me.”

Her note, written 22 years ago, brought tears to my eyes.

When we review the past, it’s as if we’re looking through a telescope. The small memories and details can barely be seen. All we see are the large events and experiences.

When we scrutinize today, it’s as if we’re looking through a microscope. Every small detail is magnified and huge. It’s hard to discern what is really important. When we consider the future, we peer into a fog.

We have no idea what will come our way.

Like my mother, many parents save their children’s cards, emails, and reports.

Each one was precious at the time. Some well-organized moms and dads make scrapbooks for their children. I printed out all of the email correspondence between my oldest daughter and I when she was in college. Her leaving home was such a big event in my adult life. I am sure that some day, like my mother, I will clean out my closet and give her back her printed emails.

Parents are students of their children’s lives. We watch them grow and develop with a sense of fear and awe.

Hopefully, this scrutiny helps us become more thoughtful parents.

But it is equally important to be a student of your own life, studying your own growth and development over time. Looking back enables you to see yourself, moving through your life, noting the small and big changes that you made. We can see the many moments that helped See SCHOENFELD, Page B5

Yah’Leanah Lapham, 14, has her eyebrows threaded at the Brow Arc kiosk at the Alderwood Mall recently. Threaders use a thin length of cotton thread to shape eyebrows and remove unwanted facial hair.

Rhythmic hair removal

The Asian art of eyebrow threading is growing in popularity here

By Andrea Brown Herald Writer

The act raises a few eyebrows.

It also shapes them.

It’s eyebrow threading, an ancient method of facial hair removal widely used in India and the Middle East that has gained popularity in the U.S. You might have seen threading done at the kiosks at malls.

It looks a bit like a fusion of flossing and a cat’s cradle string game.

One woman holds a long thread between her teeth, and uses rapid, rhythmic, almost-hypnotic movements of twisting the looped string over the face of another woman reclining in a chair.

“The first time it feels like, ‘Oh, my gosh, what’s she doing?’” said Manisha Thakker, a threader at the Brow Arc kiosk

at the Alderwood mall. “She’s putting the thread in her mouth and it’s going on people’s face.”

Thakker used her hands to illustrate the twisting motion threaders use. First getting the hair stuck in the twist, then pulling the thread to remove the hair.

In about 10 minutes, the unwanted hairs are gone without the redness or rawness of waxing. Unlike tweezing, where single hairs are pulled out one at a time, threading also removes short rows of hair.

Thakker learned to thread in India, where she had a salon with a full range of cosmetology services before moving to the U.S. about 20 years ago. Here, her focus is threading.

She threads between 30 and 50 people a day at the mall kiosk. It costs about $15, with membership discounts

and plans. A growing number of Washington salons do threading.

“In India, women like the threading better than anything else on their face,” she said. “It’s very clean, very precise. You can tell the difference between waxing shape and threading shape.”

Those who try it seem to like it.

“It looked interesting,” said Yah’leanah Lapham, 14. “I saw people who walked away with really nice looking eyebrows.”

The teen goes to the Alderwood Mall kiosk for threading every six to eight weeks.

“They do a really nice clean job,” she said. “They make it look really sharp. It’s nice and smooth. It feels like little tiny plucks. It’s cool. It doesn’t leave your skin all red or with bumps.”

Another threading convert, Precious Moreno, 20, added, “It’s not as prickly.”

The ease allows Blanca Martinez to have her kids with her at the mall when she gets her brows threaded. They often watch, fascinated. “I’ve been doing it for two years. It leaves a better shape than waxing,” she said.

Threaders use various techniques.

Thakker uses heavy-duty quilting thread that gets a mighty workout during each threading session. “It breaks about two or three times,” she said.

Threading is mainly used on small facial areas. Women are the mainstays, though guys occasionally get in her chair.

“Mostly for a cleaning on a wide eyebrow or beard line,” Thakker said.

Fate of relationship lies with cost of restaurant date Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: I have been dating a guy for five years, we live together and plan to get married.

I just found out from a former girlfriend of his that on their first date they went to a really expensive restaurant (one I have expressed an interest in, but that he always said cost too much). On our first date we went to a mediocre but OK restaurant.

For some reason I feel like crap ever since I found this out, like he thought she was better and really wanted to impress her. If I knew this after our first date I would not have seen him again. I mean, I am just as good as any other girl.

How can I get over this? I feel like I am putting my self-worth on this fact and hate myself for it. You are probably thinking I should just ask him, but I feel he will just give me some BS answer to make me feel better. For what it’s worth, he and this girl did not last very long.

Man who doesn’t want kids should find a new woman

THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE 42 “Looking at it

ACROSS 1 Treat similar to a

Yodel

Dear Abby: When I turned 25, after considering it for years, I went to my doctor and told him I wanted to become sterile. I got a vasectomy two months later. I haven’t had any regrets, and now at 27, I’m still firmly convinced that I don’t want children — ever.

I started dating a woman a year ago, “Anita,” who told me that if she never had kids, she could live with it.

I felt lucky to have found someone who would be OK with no kids. I have had a few issues with Anita. When she gets upset from time to time, she says that if she stays with me, she will never have kids. I know she cares for me deeply, but I also believe she feels conflicted about giving up the chance to be a mother.

Do you think it’s fair for me to pursue this relationship and hope that she’ll come to terms with not having children with me?

Or should I end the relationship so she can find someone who shares her desire to become a parent? I worry that if I end it, it may take years before I find someone who shares my wish to never be a parent. — No Kids In Colorado Dear No Kids: You have been upfront with Anita.

She understands that you do not want children, and that you have taken steps to ensure it won’t happen.

She’s correct that if she stays with you, she will never have any.

For both your sakes, the two of you need to talk this through once and for all, because if Anita is ambivalent about forgoing motherhood, she does need to find another life partner.

And you need to let her do that.

DEAR ABBY department store, another woman came up and stood beside me. The clerk walked over and immediately began to ring up the other woman’s purchase. I said, “I was here first!” Both the clerk and the woman apologized, but because the sale had already begun, the salesclerk completed it and I was left waiting.

I am angry about it. I feel stores should have a queue where you get in line in order, or clerks should be instructed to ask, “Who was here first?” I don’t want to believe I was passed over because the other woman looked more prosperous than I do, but she was buying a very expensive handbag, while I was purchasing socks that were on clearance. How should that be handled in the future? — Shopper In Kentucky Dear Shopper: If you have a complaint about service, it should be addressed to the store manager. A welltrained retail salesperson would have asked which of you was there first. The amount you were spending should have made no difference.

Dear Abby: My wife and I travel with another couple.

I furnish the vehicle and do all the driving. How should we share the expenses? — Easy Rider In Northern California Dear Easy Rider: The other couple should pay for half the gas and their own meals and lodging.

ABC’s Sawyer to interview Bruce Jenner

Kyle Howard and Kat Foster headline the comedy series “Your Family or Mine.” They play a young couple juggling the demands of both their families. The cast includes Richard Dreyfuss and JoBeth Williams.

ABC says the former Olympic champion and patriarch of the Kardashian television clan will give a “far-ranging interview.”

TODAY IN HISTORY

David Lynch pulls out of ‘Twin Peaks’ reboot

annexed less than a week later.

In 1949, the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “South Pacific” opened on Broadway.

In 1953, the U.N. General Assembly ratified Dag Hammarskjold of Sweden as the new secretary-general, succeeding Trygve Lie of Norway.

In 1966, the U.S. Navy recovered a hydrogen bomb that the U.S. Air Force had lost in the Mediterranean Sea off Spain following a B-52 crash.

In 1978, President Jimmy Carter announced he was deferring development of the neutron bomb, a high-radiation weapon.

In 1985, British pop sensation Wham!

(George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley) performed at a packed Beijing stadium in Communist China’s first big-name rock concert.

The news that early-’90s cult classic TV show “Twin Peaks” would be rebooted, complete with the involvement of original co-creators David Lynch and Mark Frost, seemed like such a victory for fans of the series.

The fact that the show was going to air on Showtime seemed even better.

But now the return of “Twin Peaks” is in question due to disagreements between

Lynch and the network.

Lynch announced on Twitter Sunday night that he was pulling out of the show, despite having completed scripts for all nine episodes.

“Dear Twitter Friends, Showtime did not pull the plug on Twin Peaks. After 1 year and 4 months of negotiations, I left because not enough money was offered to do the script the way I felt it needed to be done.

Twin Peaks may still be very much alive at Showtime. I love the world of Twin Peaks and wish things could have worked out differently.”

Showtime responded with this statement, via the Guardian: “We were saddened to read David Lynch’s statement today since we believed we were working towards solutions with David and his reps on the few remaining deal points.

Showtime also loves the world of Twin Peaks and we continue to hold out hope that we can bring it back in all its glory with both of its extraordinary creators, David Lynch and Mark Frost, at its helm.”

The series was set to return 25 years after it went off the air, coinciding with Laura Palmer’s declaration, “I’ll see you in 25 years.”

Schoenfeld: Looking back on our choices can be helpful From Page B1

define us and move our life trajectory forward. We can’t change anything that we did.

But we can learn from our successes and failures. We can apply this knowledge (called wisdom) to the choices we make today.

As my mother observed when she read my letters, it is interesting to consider what stays the same and what changes in each of us. What is inborn temperament, what characteristics are influenced by experience, and what changes do we set in motion?

The recent movie “Boyhood” addresses this question.

It was filmed over 12 years, chronicling a boy, Mason, from age 6 to 18 years of age. During those formative years, we watch his family go through many changes — divorce, remarriage, alcoholism, and geographic moves. How does he emerge at the end of his childhood?

It’s a reflective, contemplative film that reminds us of what’s important. Despite all of the trauma Mason experiences, he arrives at the doorstep of adult life as a deep and thoughtful person.

I love the last line of the movie, as he starts college, sitting on a bluff overlooking a vast landscape. His friend wistfully remarks — “People always think that it’s important to seize the moment. But I think, that more often, the moment seizes you.”

Sports risk assessment crucial for families

By John Keilman Chicago Tribune

As a parent whose kids participate in sports, I was struck by the recent story of a young and accomplished football player who abruptly ended his career for fear of hurting his brain.

Chris Borland, a linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers, said the research he had done into the game’s possible neurological consequences made his decision simple.

Borland’s father, interviewed

by Fox Sports, said he was proud of his son’s maturity.

“I think maybe it’s one of those affirming things as a parent, you know, that maybe somewhere along the line you accidentally did something right,” he said.

A few days later, I read a story about another young athlete who reached the opposite conclusion about his own dangerous sport.

Alex Honnold is the world’s best free-soloist, a person who climbs sheer rock faces without a rope, putting himself at risk of death every time he goes onto a mountain. The activity is so potentially lethal that one of Honnold’s corporate sponsors withdrew its support, saying it no

longer wanted to be associated with such extreme risk-taking.

Yet on he climbs, aiming toward a ropeless ascent of California’s forbidding El Capitan.

His mother, asked by the New York Times about how she could put up with her son’s life of peril, said she learned to stop worrying.

“Alex is the only one on the planet who knows what Alex can do, and I’ve had to learn to just trust that,” she said.

These obviously are very different situations, but for me, they are both evidence of parents and children who have learned a vital and underrated life skill — evaluating risk.

We are in an age of helicopter parents and padded playgrounds, where many of us try to protect our kids by sanding down life’s sharp corners.

We can’t get them all, though, so sooner or later we have to figure out just how much danger we’re willing to tolerate.

Most people are terrible with this. They exaggerate minor threats and ignore major ones — not allowing a child to venture outside in a safe neighborhood, say, while letting him down a pantry’s worth of snack cakes and energy drinks.

It leads to a weird combination of dread and obliviousness that screws up both a parent’s and a child’s ability to gauge risk. And if Jimmy and Madison don’t start developing that skill when they’re young, they’ll probably learn it the hard way once they’re grown.

Getting through this starts with critical thinking, and that’s why I’m so impressed with Borland.

He knew the hazards of football in a way few of us can, and he withstood them long enough to make it to the NFL. But then he did a sober, painstaking examination of what he was doing and decided the prudent thing was to quit.

“I love the visceral feeling of the violence of the game; I think everyone that plays at a high level is passionate about that,” he said in an interview with CBS. “However, I don’t think you shouldn’t be informed and you should have every opportunity to know all you can about the dangers of that feeling that you love and the sport that you’re passionate about.”

He allowed, though, that others could reach a different conclusion, and that leads to the second part of the risk equation: self-awareness.

Everyone needs to understand

how much of a gamble they’re willing to make, and that’s why I’m equally impressed by Honnold, the rope-shunning rock climber. He clearly grasps that what he does could end in death, but he believes if he played it safe, his life would be diminished.

He summed it up in an essay soon after his sponsor dropped him: “Soloing appeals to me for a variety of reasons: the feeling of mastery that comes from taking on a big challenge, the sheer simplicity of the movement, the experience of being in such an exposed position,” he wrote. “Those reasons are a powerful enough motivation for me to take certain risks. But it’s a personal decision, and one that I consider carefully before any serious ascent.”

It’s easy to pass judgment on another person’s choices, but when they are the result of careful thought, you’ve got to respect them.

So Borland and Honnold deserve our admiration, as do their parents. It’s a rare thing to encounter such courage and wisdom in two people, even if they’re headed in opposite directions.

Oddly named ‘exploding head syndrome’ can disrupt sleep Herald news services Nearly one in five college students may suffer from “exploding head syndrome,” a psychological condition in which people are abruptly awakened from sleep by imaginary loud noises or blasts.

That’s according to Washington State University researchers who have conducted the largest study yet of the sleep disorder, previously believed to be rare.

If you’ve never heard of “exploding head syndrome,” or EHS, don’t worry. Neither have most doctors, said Brian Sharpless, the WSU assistant professor of psychology who led the

study published recently in the Journal of Sleep Research.

“You’re going to sleep and become relaxed. Then, all of a sudden, you hear an extremely loud noise, or gunshots, or the sound of extremely large guitar strings breaking,” said Sharpless, who is also director of the university’s psychology clinic. “Some people feel like there’s an explosion inside their heads.”

The disorder, which is noted in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM V, was first recognized about 130 years ago, when it was characterized as “sensory discharges,” and later, when it was

described as “snapping of the brain.” In 1988, neurologist Dr. J.M.S. Pearce coined the colorful modern phrase.

Previously, EHS was believed to be rare, and to be more common in people older than 50.

But Sharpless and his colleagues found that about 18 percent of the 211 undergraduate college students they interviewed had experienced the problem at least once in their lives. Some had experienced it several times in one night, Sharpless said.

The condition isn’t harmful, but it can be frightening — and may make sufferers wonder if they’re experiencing a legitimate medical

or psychological problem.

“People don’t report it that much because they’re embarrassed or they think they might be going crazy,” he said.

No one knows for sure what causes EHS, but researchers suspect it stems from problems with the brain’s process of turning off for sleep. Instead of shutting down properly, the auditory neurons are believed to fire all at once, causing the imaginary sounds.

More than one-third of people with EHS also experienced isolated sleep paralysis, a scary condition in which a person wakes up unable to move or speak, sometimes for several minutes at a time.

Duke rallies to beat Wisconsin Jones, Okafor lead Blue Devils to 68-63 victory over Wisconsin

By Eddie Pells Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Call them freshmen. Please, do not call them kids.

Led by Tyus Jones and Jahlil Okafor, Duke’s talented group of

youngsters played like salty old pros down the stretch, outscoring Wisconsin by 14 points over the final 13 minutes Monday night to grit out a 68-63 victory for the program’s fifth national title.

Okafor, the likely first pick in the NBA draft if he decides to

leave, got outplayed by Badgers center Frank Kaminsky most of the night but came through like a veteran when the pressure was highest.

The 6-foot-11 freshman made two straight buckets over Kaminsky, sandwiched between a pair of 3-pointers from Jones, to help the Blue Devils (35-4) turn a onetime nine-point deficit into an eight-point lead with 1:22 to play in the game.

A furious Wisconsin rally ensued, but it came up short.

Then, it was Okafor on the bottom of a rowdy, raucous dog pile — a scene very reminiscent of the last time the Final Four was

Indianapolis, back in 2010 when Duke edged out Butler in another scintillating final. The Blue Devils also took one here in 1991 — the Grant Hill, Christian Laettner squad.

“They showed such grit tonight,” said coach Mike Krzyzewski, whose five titles put him alone in second place on the alltime list behind John Wooden.

“Our bench was spectacular, and See DUKE, Page C2

King rules on Opening Day JOHN BOYLE

Hernandez is ‘pretty good’ when it counts

By John Boyle Herald Columnist

GENNA MARTIN/THE HERALD

The Mariners’ Felix Hernandez pitched seven innings in Monday’s season opener against the Angels, allowing one run on two hits while striking out 10 and walking one in Seattle’s 4-1 victory over Los Angeles.

Hernandez strikes out 10 in 7 innings as Mariners beat Angels 4-1

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

GENNA MARTIN/THE HERALD

Mariners shortstop Brad Miller celebrates in the Seattle dugout after he scored on an RBI double by Seth Smith in the fifth inning.

SEATTLE — Listen to Felix Hernandez next time, people.

The King dismissed concerns that surfaced from his shaky efforts in spring training. He said he’d be fine when the season started. Then he went out Monday and proved it.

Hernandez pitched seven overpowering innings Monday afternoon as the Mariners opened their most-anticipated season in years with a 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels in front of a sellout crowd at Safeco Field.

“I think it was pretty good,” he said, “except for that homer in the first inning. Everything was working. Great curveball. Great changeup. And an excellent fastball. When my fastball is there, it makes everything better.”

Hernandez gave up a home run in the first inning to Mike Trout

but just one other hit, a single, the rest of the way. He walked one, struck out 10 and had the sellout crowd of 45,909 in a frenzy.

So much for that 0-3 record and 10.22 ERA in spring training.

“I think Felix on the mound really charged our fans up quite a bit,” Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said, “and I think our players fed off of that. It was a special day. It was pretty electric out there.”

It wasn’t just Hernandez.

The Mariners’ revamped offensive attack also flexed some See M’S, Page C5

EATTLE — In case anyone still needed a reminder that spring-training stats don’t mean much, Felix Hernandez was happy to serve notice of that Monday afternoon.

After posting a 0-3 record and a 10.22 ERA in four Cactus League starts, the Seattle Mariners’ ace looked like, well, an ace when it mattered, baffling Angels hitters for seven innings to lead the Mariners to a 4-1 Opening Day victory at Safeco Field.

“I keep telling you guys that,” Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said when asked about spring numbers.

Now if only Hernandez could do something about that Mike Trout fellow — who for the second year in a row homered off Hernandez in his first at-bat of the season — then he’d really be onto something. But after Hernandez caught a bit too much of the plate with that first-inning fastball, a pitch Trout deposited over the center-field fence, he dominated the Angels, MVP center fielder included, the rest of the afternoon. In improving to 6-0 on Opening Day, Hernandez allowed just one hit after Trout’s home run, and struck out 10, including Trout twice.

“What do you think?” Hernandez said when asked about his afternoon. “It was pretty good, except that homer in the first inning. After that, it was working — good pitches, great curveball, great changeup and excellent See BOYLE, Page C6

UConn, Notre Dame set for rematch Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. — The NCAA women’s basketball championship game will have a familiar feel to it, with UConn and Notre Dame playing for the title for the second straight year.

A win for the Huskies on Tuesday night would be a third straight title for UConn and 10th overall for Huskies coach Geno Auriemma.

That would tie him with UCLA men’s coach John Wooden for the most all-time in college basketball.

Auriemma has a perfect record with the title on the line, winning all nine of UConn’s trips to the national championship.

“This isn’t something that’s going to last forever,” he said. “(We’re) not going to win every single championship game that we’re in.”

UConn junior Breanna Stewart has been the key to the past two titles.

Women’s Final Four Tuesday’s championship Connecticut vs. Notre Dame, 5:30 p.m. (ESPN) The two-time AP Player of the Year saves her best games for the brightest lights. She won outstanding player of the Final Four as a freshman and sophomore and had another great game in this year’s semifinal win over Maryland.

She stated when she came to UConn that her goal was to win four championships. She’s one victory away from being threequarters of the way there. Only the Huskies from 2002-04 and Tennessee from 1996-98 have won three straight.

UConn beat Tennessee in 2003 and 2004, the only other time in

the history of the tournament that there was a repeat title game.

Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw has her team back in the championship for the fourth time in five seasons. Unlike Auriemma, she’s only won one title with the Irish, in 2001.

“I think being here is a great achievement for us,” McGraw said. “I think probably because we did (win) one that maybe I don’t feel that sort of pressure (to win another). But I want to win this for this team. I want to win for this team so that they can have that feeling (of) looking up in the rafters and seeing another banner.”

The Irish lost two All-Americans from last season’s team and weren’t expected to make it to the title game when the season began.

“I think when we started the season and looked at what we lost last year and were wondering where all the offense is going to come from, to say that we’ve come

a long way, I think it’s a little bit of an understatement,” McGraw said.

“I’m just proud of where we’ve gotten to and how this team has just been resilient and continued to pursue their goals this year.”

Unlike last season when these two women’s basketball powerhouses didn’t play until the championship game — which UConn won by 21 points — they met in December in South Bend, Indiana. The Huskies came away with an 18-point victory, although Notre Dame was without freshman Brianna Turner, who was nursing a shoulder injury.

“She’s our leading rebounder and one of our top three scorers,” McGraw said. “So I think she makes a difference in our team at the defensive end, with her rebounding, her presence of shot blocking and the way she can run the floor. I think that we are a much better team with her on the floor.”

Minnesota star leaving for the pros Amanda Zahui B. could be the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft.

Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. — Minnesota sophomore Amanda Zahui B. announced Monday she’s turning pro.

Zahui B., a 6-foot-5 All-American center from Sweden, could be the top pick in the April 16 WNBA draft.

The Seattle Storm have the No. 1 selection.

The WNBA has strict rules about underclassmen entering the draft.

Zahui B. is eligible because she turns 22 during the calendar year of the draft.

Zahui B. had until Monday at 11:59 p.m. EDT to declare herself eligible.

She averaged 18.8 points, 12.9 rebounds and 4.1 blocks this season. Zahui B. was fourth in the nation in rebounding and helped guide the Golden Gophers to the NCAA women’s tournament for the first time since 2009.

While the top WNBA salary for rookies is just under $50,000, Zahui B. could make a few hundred thousand dollars playing overseas.

Duke’s Justise Winslow cuts down the net after his team’s 68-63 victory over Wisconsin in Monday’s NCAA title game.

Duke From Page C1

like we said about two months ago, eight is enough. Eight is enough.”

Among the eight players who share all the playing time are Okafor, his buddy, Jones, and another freshman, Justise Winslow. They all might playing at an NBA arena near you next season.

But Grayson Allen? The most unheralded of Krzyzewski’s firstyear players, who averages four points a game, stepped up with Okafor on the bench for much of the second half in foul trouble.

Allen, the slam-dunk champion at the high school McDonald’s All-American contest last year, scored 16 points and kept Duke in it when Okafor was on the bench with his third and fourth fouls and Wisconsin (36-4) looked like it was about to pull away.

“It was fun to watch my teammates do what they do,” Okafor said. “They have my back the

entire season, and it was no different tonight.”

This was a savvy, calm, collected comeback against the team that wrote the book on that all season. Wisconsin kept its cool two nights earlier in an upset over undefeated Kentucky and looked like it would close the deal when it turned a 31-all halftime tie into a 48-39 lead after Kaminsky made a layup with 13:23 left.

Then, suddenly, Duke looked like veterans and Wisconsin looked like kids.

Kaminsky had 21 points and 12 rebounds to Okafor’s 10 and three, but “Frank the Tank” struggled to get a good look down the stretch. On Okafor’s first late bucket, Kaminsky tried to wrap an arm around him, but Okafor just powered his way through it for the bucket and the foul. He missed the free throw, but a different point had been made.

In the seconds leading up to that basket, Winslow appeared to step on the baseline. But the whistle never blew and he

delivered it to Okafor for the score.

That, and the foul count, had the Wisconsin Twitterverse fuming about some calls. The Badgers got whistled for only two fouls in the first half, but the count in the second half was Badgers 13, Blue Devils 6. Duke shot 20 free throws to Wisconsin’s 10.

“It was a situation where you just have to be able to handle all the hands and the checking,” Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said.

“There was more body contact in this game than any game we played all year, and I just feel sorry for my guys that all of the sudden a game was like that, and I think they’re struggling with that a little bit.”

Even though Kaminsky schooled Okafor to draw both his third and fourth fouls early in the second half, Wisconsin couldn’t pull away from an aggressive Duke defense that allowed only 55 points a game in the five contests leading to the final.

Wisconsin shot 41 percent — 7 points under its season average.

“Shots just weren’t falling, and they were getting to the line, and when the tide changes like that, it’s kind of hard to get back in the flow,” said Badgers forward Sam Dekker said. “We tried to play through it but they made more plays than we did.”

Nigel Hayes had 13 points and Dekker, the key guy down the stretch against Kentucky, had a very quiet 12 for the Badgers, who were trying to bring their first title back to Madison since 1941. Dekker used his shirt to dab away tears during postgame interviews — a much different scene than the loose, fun-loving media sessions the Badgers put on all tournament.

For Duke, it was all smiles. The Blue Devils are taking another trophy home to the Cameron Crazies.

“All these guys have become students of the game, and they share knowledge,” Krzyzewski said.

“It was heaven,” Krzyzewski said of the stadium where he’s now 4-0 in Final Fours. “It was really divine.”

Calipari, ex-Sonic headline Hall of Fame selections Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS — As Kentucky men’s basketball coach John Calipari started to leave the Naismith Hall of Fame interview room Monday, he took one last question.

“Coach, what do you think of the four-year rule?” Spencer Haywood shouted.

“You screwed it up for us,” Calipari answered.

Now the man who paved the way for underclassmen to enter the NBA draft and the coach who has thrived with today’s top one-anddone college players will be forever linked: Calipari and Haywood are among this year’s 11-person class, with induction ceremonies at the hall set for Sept. 10-12 in Springfield, Massachusetts.

There is enough star power to appeal to all generations.

Younger fans might embrace the selections of former WNBA star Lisa Leslie or four-time NBA defensive player of the year Dikembe Mutombo. Leslie won two WNBA titles, three league MVP awards and four Olympic gold medals. Mutombo led the NBA in blocks for five consecutive

seasons, famously wagging his finger to celebrate each one.

More experienced fans will appreciate the election of Louie Dampier, who made seven All-Star teams in the ABA after starring at Kentucky.

Also selected were Jo Jo White, the former Kansas star who won two titles with the Boston Celtics,

and former Celtics coach Tom Heinsohn, who becomes the fourth member of the hall to be inducted twice. Heinsohn was selected as a player in 1986.

Longtime referee Dick Bavetta and former Washington State University coach George Raveling also were elected along with Australian coach and player Lindsay Gaze.

And John Isaacs, a star pro player before the NBA was formed, will be inducted posthumously as the representative of the early AfricanAmerican pioneers committee.

Then there is Haywood, whose NBA career included 14,592 points, 7,038 rebounds and a league title in 1980 with the Lakers.

But his legacy goes far beyond that.

A standout at the University of Detroit, Haywood decided to turn pro after his sophomore year but NBA rules at that point required players to wait four years after high school. He headed to Denver in the ABA, where he was the MVP, and then joined the Seattle SuperSonics despite the NBA’s rule. The subsequent court fight went all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled against the league in a decision that cleared the way for underclassmen — and

one-and-dones — to play in the NBA. “There is a real sense of pride in it because of all my sacrifice,” Haywood said, explaining how he once was offered a contract not to play if he would just wait another year to comply with the NBA’s rules. “Most times, guys look at me and say ‘What did he do?”’

Calipari didn’t need a refresher course about how Haywood — or Kentucky — helped him reach the Hall of Fame.

He led Massachusetts and Memphis to Final Fours before landing in Kentucky. There, thanks to a plethora of NBA prospects who have left school early, Calipari has taken Kentucky to four Final Fours in the past five years, and won the 2012 national championship.

Without his young stars, or his ties to Big Blue Nation, Calipari might not have made it.

“I had nothing against Massachusetts or Memphis, but you were always kind of at the little table and it left me wondering what would happen if I got one of those jobs,” Calipari said. “... I’ll say it again, if I don’t get hired by Kentucky, I don’t know (if I make it), maybe.”

Playing in Michael’s honor The members of the Cascade High School baseball team used Monday’s Wesco 4A game with Jackson to pay tribute to their friend and teammate

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

EVERETT — It was a day Michael Alcayaga would have loved — bright sunshine and a Cascade High School baseball game.

On Monday afternoon, nearly 11 months after Alcayaga died of leukemia, the Bruins honored their former teammate during a game against Jackson. The Cascade players and coaches wore orange “Leukemia Awareness” socks, there was an orange “Play 4 Michael” message painted on the grass behind home plate, and Alcayaga’s father, Bill, threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

“Michael loved baseball,” Bill Alcayaga said. “Baseball and basketball, those were the two sports he loved to play.”

Michael Alcayaga was diagnosed with leukemia in August of 2013 and died on May 20 of last year. A 16-year-old Cascade sophomore at the time of his death, he had been an outfielder on the junior-varsity baseball team the year before.

Monday’s game was played in Alcayaga’s memory, and a similar game will be played every year “for as long as I’m here,” Bruins coach Scott Stencil said. “We want to remember what Michael was all about and what he did for bringing our Cascade community together, and we want to make sure we do everything we can to cherish his memory.”

The game is “a chance to celebrate his life, a chance to remember, and a chance to thank his family for everything he did for Cascade,” Stencil said.

Unfortunately for the Bruins, the game’s outcome was a disappointment. Jackson batted around in the first inning for three runs, tacked on two more runs in the second, and that turned out to be plenty of offense for Timberwolves senior starting pitcher Tyler Wingert, who checked Cascade on four hits in a 5-1 victory.

Wingert, a right-hander in his fourth varsity season, was never in serious trouble. The Bruins got their only run in the third inning with a leadoff single, a passed ball, an infield out and an infield single.

When Cascade got the first two hitters aboard in the sixth, Wingert snuffed the potential rally with back-to-back infield grounders, the second an inning-ending double play.

“I had a senior pitcher act like a senior pitcher today,” Jackson coach Kirk Nicholson said. “He came ready to throw.”

Moreover, Nicholson pointed out, Wingert walked just three and the T-wolves played error-free defense, “so we didn’t give a lot of free bases up today. And if you can do that, you’re not a bad high school team.”

Michael Alcayaga’s father, Bill Alcayaga, hugs Cascade player Nik Soros after throwing out the ceremonial first pitch before Cascade’s game against Jackson on Monday. Soros was a close friend of Bill’s son, Michael Alcayaga, a former Cascade baseball player who passed away in May 2014 after battling leukemia.

base runners over the final five innings, and at one point struck out five straight batters. Butler, a senior southpaw, finished with nine strikeouts and three walks, the latter all in the first inning.

After the game, both teams stuck around for a barbecue dinner that was part of the event honoring the memory of Michael Alcayaga.

“As I told the guys, 10 years from now they’re not going to remember whether they won or lost, but they’re going to remember this,” Stencil said. “And that’s what it’s really about.

“We would’ve loved to have won the game,” he said, “but I think the emotions got the better of us a little bit in the beginning.

But that’s OK. Because that’s not the most important thing about today.”

We want to remember what Michael was all about and what he did for bringing the Cascade community together, and we want to make sure we do everything we can to cherish his memory.

Alec Anderson, Anton Soderqvist and Alex Cheesman — the Nos. 3, 4 and 5 hitters in Jackson’s lineup — each went 2-for-4. Anderson scored twice, Soderqvist drove in two runs, including one with a long triple to left-center field in the

second inning, and Cheesman had three RBI, with two coming on a double to left in the first.

After facing 15 hitters through the first two innings, Cascade starter Matthew Butler settled into a nice rhythm. He allowed just two

period, and it looked like Everett might just survive until Spokane defenseman Nick Charif scored with 2 minutes, 18 seconds remaining in regulation to tie the game and force overtime.

What followed was a captivating overtime period that saw frantic up-and-down action and multiple premium scoring chances at both ends of the ice.

The Chiefs finally won it on Riley Whittingham’s goal, keeping Spokane alive.

“It was tough,” said Everett winger Carson Stadnyk, who leads the series in scoring with seven points (four goals, three

assists). “It was a close game all around. We had that one-goal lead with two minutes left, and in overtime we had our chances.

It was like when we went to overtime in their building (in Game 3, won 2-1 by Everett). They had so many chances, but we got the goal. (In Game 5) we had so many chances in that overtime, and they just capitalized on their opportunity. We just have to put it behind us and focus on the game (Tuesday).”

Everett could have avoided another lengthy bus ride had the Tips finished off Game 5.

“Absolutely (it was a missed opportunity), there’s no real hiding it,” Low said. “I had a few chances, we hit a few posts, we had some good looks. Most of the time those are going to go in. Give

their goalie (Garret Hughson) credit, he played well for them.

I felt we had more than enough opportunities to end it.”

Though Spokane still trails in the series, the Chiefs are in a decent position, heading home for Game 6 and holding the momentum.

“That’s what we wanted right from the start,” Spokane coach Don Nachbaur said following Game 5. “The guys proved it tonight. But every game in this series could have gone either way, even back to the 5-1 game (won by Everett in Game 1). It was a 1-0 (Spokane) lead and we let that dissipate. Even looking at the two games we lost at home, one was in overtime. It could be a different series right now, but they’re two evenly matched

The good news for Everett is that the Tips have had success at Spokane this season. Everett went a span of losing 18 straight games at Spokane Arena between March 14, 2010 and Feb. 16, 2014. But this season the Tips won three of the four meetings in Spokane, and Everett also prevailed in both playoff games in Spokane, Games 3 and 4. “(Our confidence) is pretty good,” Stadnyk said. “We’re keeping it nice and mellow. It’s the first to four, so no one had really done anything yet. The toughest game to win is always the fourth game, so we just have to come out there flying again, just like in the two games we won there already.

MARINERS | Update

Ackley’s 1st homer as a dad SEATTLE — Dustin Ackley built a future memory for his new son by hitting a home run Monday in helping the Seattle Mariners open the season with a 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels at Safeco Field.

It was Ackley’s first homer as a father.

“If you don’t count spring training,” he qualified, “but that’s not as cool.

This is his first game here, seeing me play. I’m sure he won’t remember it. We’ll have to tell him about it one day.”

Ackley and his wife, Justine, were driving to spring training in mid-February from their home in Michigan when Justine unexpectedly went into labor near Oklahoma City.

The couple’s first child was not due for another six weeks.

Parson Bennett Ackley was born healthy and, after a short period in an incubator and on a respirator, arrived with his mother for much of spring training.

Ackley’s homer came while leading off the fifth inning against Angels starter Jered Weaver. It was a high drive to right that had sufficient carry to reach the seats.

It was Ackley’s second career homer in an opener. He also went deep in 2012 against Oakland in Japan.

Expectations The Mariners enter the season as a trendy pick not only to reach postseason for the first time since 2001 but also go deep into October.

What’s the best way to deal with that?

“You should embrace it,” said second baseman Robinson Cano, who spent nine years dealing with expectations while playing in New York before signing with the Mariners.

“That’s what the game’s for.”

Seven and counting Felix Hernandez made his seventh consecutive start on opening day, but he’s still got a ways to go to match the record by one pitcher for the same organization.

Robin Roberts started 12 straight openers for the Philadelphia Phillies from 1950-61.

Jack Morris started 11 in a row for Detroit from 1980-90, while two pitchers had 10-game streaks: Steve Carlton for the Phillies from 197786, and Tom Seaver for the New York Mets from 1968-77.

Morris actually started 14 consecutive openers; he started for Minnesota in 1991 and for Toronto in 1992-93.

Upcoming matchups The tentative pitching matchups are set for the next five games: ■ Tuesday vs. Los Angeles: LHP James Paxton vs. Angels LHP C.J. Wilson.

■ Wednesday vs. Los Angeles: RHP Hisashi Iwakuma vs. Angels RHP Matt Shoemaker.

■ Friday at Oakland: RHP Taijuan Walker vs. Athletics LHP Drew Pomeranz.

■ Saturday at Oakland: LHP J.A. Happ vs. Athletics RHP Sonny Gray.

■ Sunday at Oakland: Hernandez vs. Athletics RHP Jesse Hahn.

Odds and ends Four Mariners experienced their first opening day in the big leagues: pitchers Taijuan Walker, Tyler Olson, Carson Smith and catcher Jesus Sucre.

For Olson, it was also his first day in the big leagues.

Cano and Felix Hernandez experienced their 10th opener.

■ Closer Fernando Rodney is the oldest player on the Mariners’ roster at 38 years and 19 days (as of Monday). Walker is the youngest at 22 years and 236 days.

Looking back It was 38 years ago Monday — April 6, 1977 — that the Mariners played their first game in franchise history.

That came at the Kingdome and was also against the Angels.

The Mariners lost 7-0.

Footnote from that day: Muchloved broadcaster Dave Niehaus nearly missed the first pitch because he was fetching a beverage for thenAngels owner Gene Autry.

My, oh my!

Niehaus spent eight years as an Angels broadcaster before joining the Mariners’ crew in the franchise’s first year. He remained 34 years with organization prior to his death in 2010.

Short hops Carson Smith had not given up a run in any of 10 career appearances. ... Hernandez is 5-1 with a 1.07 ERA in his last nine starts against the Angels,. ... Hernandez became just the fourth pitcher in the last 102 years to register 10 or more strikeouts in three different season openers. Randy Johnson did it four times.

Smith debuts in style

Right fielder, acquired from Padres, is 3-for-3 with two doubles, triple and two RBI for M’s

By David Krueger Herald Writer

SEATTLE — It wasn’t prized offseason acquisition — and $58 million man — Nelson Cruz who had the flashiest Seattle Mariners debut Monday afternoon.

Instead, it was Seth Smith, who made quite the first impression on fans in the 2015 season opener at Safeco Field.

The outfielder, acquired in an offseason trade with the Padres for pitcher Brandon Maurer, went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a triple and two RBI to help lead the Mariners to a 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Opening Day. “I don’t think I’ve ever done that,” Smith said.

“When you’re at home at Opening Day it’s special, regardless of where you are. It’s fun. There’s a buzz.”

Smith, who batted second in the order, became the first Mariners player with three extra-base hits in an Opening Day game and the first Seattle player since Richie Sexson in 2005 to have extra-base hits in his first two plate appearances with the team.

“I knew he was a pretty good player, a pretty good hitter,” M’s manager Lloyd McClendon said. “I’ve competed against him in the playoffs in the past and he always did great. We’re very excited to have him.”

The left-handed batter drove in Seattle’s first run of the game in the bottom of the

third inning with an RBI triple off Angels’ starter Jered Weaver and later scored on a single by Robinson Cano. Smith added an RBI double in the fifth before being replaced by Justin Ruggiano in the seventh. Smith’s efforts helped the Mariners win their ninth consecutive season opener. “(Weaver) definitely knows what he’s doing. He’s been doing it successfully for a long time,” Smith said. “(I’m) just trying not to do too much and hope he gives you one that you can get the barrel to.”

McClendon said he had no thoughts of letting Smith bat in the seventh, with Angels lefthanded reliever Cesar Ramos on the mound. With two outs and one runner on base, the righthanded hitting Ruggiano came in and drew a walk before taking over for Smith in right field.

“We had a lead. Ruggiano is a superior defensive player,” McClendon said, “and it was an ideal situation to get (Ruggiano) in there and give Seth a breather against a tough lefty.”

Smith seemed at ease with McClendon’s decision.

“It’s the way it is,” Smith said.

“This isn’t the first time I’ve been in that situation. I don’t make decisions like that. I’m here to play and when they tell me to play, I’ll play, and when they tell me I’m not playing anymore, I’m not playing anymore.”

On Monday, Smith was the offensive hero for a Seattle team that has lacked run

production in recent years. The M’s are hoping their new-look lineup — featuring Smith, Cruz, and Ruggiano — produces more offensive firepower this season.

“It’s a cool thing to have: to stretch out the lineup is an awesome thing and we’ve got guys who can contribute all over the place,” said left fielder Dustin Ackley, who hit a solo home run in the fifth. “I think that’s what’s going to make us a great team, is that we can hit one through nine.”

“I hope so,” McClendon added. “It’s only one game but, yeah, that’s what we want.”

Seattle starter Felix Hernandez was also appreciative of Smith’s performance. Hernandez, who had a dominant opener, allowing just one run on two hits and striking out 10, has pitched against Smith, and knows what a tough out he can be.

“He’s a great hitter,” Hernandez said. “I’ve faced him a couple times and he’s a good hitter.”

Smith was happy to do all he could to help out his new team, starting pitcher and the fans in attendance Monday afternoon.

“It was my first time playing behind Felix and that was a lot of fun,” Smith said. ““Opening Day is special. They’re all special. You learn to appreciate them and try to enjoy them for what they are. It’s a little bit more than a typical, normal baseball game and you never know how many you’re going to have.”

muscle as Seth Smith, one of their key offseason acquisitions, became the first player in franchise history to deliver three extra-base hits in a season opener.

Dustin Ackley contributed a home run. Brad Miller had two hits. Robinson Cano had an RBI single. Carson Smith stranded two runners in the eighth inning by striking out Trout.

Fernando Rodney got a save and shot his arrow.

Mostly, though, it was Felix, who is now 6-0 with a 1.49 ERA in eight career starts on Opening Day. “It was my first time playing behind Felix,” Seth Smith said, “and that was a lot of fun.”

Hernandez previously admitted he was keenly anticipating pitching at home in a season opener for the first time since 2007. He characterized the atmosphere as “amazing.” Even “better,” he said, than the memorable season finale a year ago when the crowd stood and cheered the Mariners’ season-long turnaround when word came the club had been eliminated from postseason contention.

“You can definitely see that with winning teams, this crowd, this can be special,” Ackley said. “We’re on the verge of that, for sure.”

The Angels stirred to life after Hernandez departed.

GENNA MARTIN/THE HERALD

The Mariners’ Seth Smith slides into third base after hitting an RBI triple in the third inning of Monday’s game.

Chris Iannetta and Johnny Giavotella nicked Danny Farquhar for one-out singles in the eighth inning. Charlie Furbush replaced Farquhar and got a borderline call to strike out Kole Calhoun on a full count.

The Mariners then summoned Carson Smith to face Trout, the reigning MVP, with two runners on. Trout got the benefit of a no-swing appeal on an 0-2 check swing, but he swung through the next pitch for the third out.

The Mariners scored all of their runs against Angels starter Jered Weaver, who gave up eight hits in his six innings. Smith had an RBI triple in the third inning and an RBI double in the fifth.

“I left a lot of pitches up,” Weaver said, “falling behind in counts and pretty much battled

the whole game. It’s a tough way to get it going.”

Hernandez started the game with a three-pitch strikeout of Calhoun and jumped ahead 0-2 on Trout. But Trout worked the count back to 2-2 before launching a homer over the center-field wall.

“It was a fastball,” Hernandez said. “I was throwing him five fastballs in a row. I tried to go away, and I stayed in the middle. Just a mistake.”

Trout also homered against Hernandez in the first inning of last year’s opener in Anaheim and, like last year, it only seemed to annoy the King. A year ago, the Mariners rallied for a 10-3 victory.

“I think any homer,” catcher Mike Zunino said, “could rub Felix the wrong way.”

Mariners win 9th straight season opener

By David Krueger Herald Writer

SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners were eager to be home at Safeco Field to start the 2015 season.

Although, it’s not like they need to be there.

For the first time since 2008 the Mariners opened the season at home and, like it’s been the past eight seasons on the road, 2015 brought a victory in game No. 1.

“Opening Day is always going to be special. It’s like when you go back to school for the first day,” said second baseman Robinson Cano before the game. “I’m happy and excited about the season and just can’t wait.”

Since its last home opener seven years ago, Seattle has began the season on the road — even flying to Tokyo in 2012. The Mariners’ streak of nine straight Opening Day wins is tied for the second-longest mark in major league history, trailing just the Boston Beaneaters’ 10-year run from 1887-96.

“Opening Day is special, no matter where you’re playing or whatever the situation is. But to open up here at Safeco Field is going to be a lot of fun,” said third baseman Kyle Seager before Monday’s game. “I’ve opened up in Japan, Anaheim, Oakland, it’s going to be really, really cool to open up here.

“Opening Day, Felix (Hernandez) on the mound, in Seattle, it’s not going to get too much better than that.”

All the excitement can pose distractions, according to Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon.

“Obviously, there’s a lot of excitement,” McClendon said.

“Opening Day is a special day for the players, for my staff and for myself as well. I’m glad this day is here. I’ll be glad when it’s over so we can get back to normalcy. But there’s a lot of excitement. The players are pumped up.”

For rookie Tyler Olson, a former Everett AquaSox player taking part in his first Opening Day, the experience was pretty exciting.

“Driving here today, there’s butterflies on my way (to Safeco Field) just thinking about the opportunity and Opening Day,” said Olson, who played at Gonzaga. “It’s just crazy.”

“Pretty good” has long been Hernandez’s go-to description for any positive outing, but this one, like so many others, was much, much better than “pretty good.” As the Mariners begin a 2015 season full of lofty expectations, they are legitimate contenders in large part because of the star who never wanted to leave. Before the Mariners signed Robinson Cano or Nelson Cruz, and before any of the young talent had proven anything, Hernandez decided before the 2013 season that he would remain the face of the franchise for its foreseeable, and at that point very murky future.

He, along with some promising minor leaguers, was the only reason for optimism for fans of a team that hadn’t been to the playoffs since 2001.

And on that February day, an emotional Hernandez declared,

“To all the people in Seattle that trust me and believe in me, I will say this: I will not disappoint you.”

Over the past two seasons, Hernandez has backed up those words, and he did so again Monday, only adding to the already high levels of optimism around this team. Those ugly spring training numbers weren’t the real Felix. The real Felix is the player who again looked like a Cy Young Award front-runner on Monday; the player who can make players named Trout and Pujols flail helplessly at changeups in the dirt.

“It’s Felix,” Mariners catcher Mike Zunino said. “You know what you’re going to get once the season rolls around. There’s more focus, there’s more intensity, there’s the adrenaline he thrives on. You know he’s going to rise to the occasion, and he showed that today.”

Hernandez was looking forward to this start because, for the first time since 2008, the Mariners were opening at home, which meant a sellout crowd of

45,909, many of them in yellow “King’s Court” shirts creating a memorable atmosphere.

“That was amazing,” Hernandez said. “That was unbelievable.

It was a great experience. Fans were unbelievable, it was awesome.”

Told he was undefeated on Opening Day, Hernandez knocked twice on the table in front of him, then said, “I don’t know. It’s a great challenge.

You’ve got a lot of eyes on you, so you’ve got to do good.”

If Hernandez is this dialed in for a big crowd on Opening Day, imagine what he might do in a playoff start. Now more than ever, after seeing Hernandez baffle Angels hitters with vintage stuff, and after seeing a much deeper lineup come up with 10 hits despite a combined 1-for-12 day for All-Stars Cano, Cruz and Kyle Seager, the idea of Hernandez and the Mariners playing on a postseason stage seemed more likely than ever Monday afternoon.
