Free Island Transit rides may end State lawmakers want the agency to restart a popular route that links Mount Vernon, Camano Island and Everett, but only if riders pay a fare. The agency also is considering fares for all its routes.

Herald Writer

OLYMPIA — State lawmakers might give cash-strapped Island

Transit must make those riders pay a fare.

That might not seem like a big deal, but it is, because no one pays when boarding an Island Transit bus, and they never have.

It’s been a fare-free bus service throughout its existence.

“Riders need to have skin in the game,” said Rep. Dave Hayes, R-Camano Island, who secured money for the Everett Connector

service through an amendment to a two-year transportation budget passed by the state House of Representatives on April 9.

“All other transit systems are charging a fare,” he said. “Many people who were using the Island Transit Everett Connector before it closed told me they would have gladly paid the fare, especially if it would have kept the route open. They’re willing to pay, so

this amendment makes that a requirement in order to release those funds.”

While the requirement would only apply to the Everett Connector service, it would set a precedent and could prod district leaders to start charging fares on other routes.

Fair weather has drawn crowds to the island’s two state parks Herald Writer

CAMANO ISLAND — The formula is simple: more sunshine means more people at the beach.

For the two state parks here, the unusually bright, warm winter and early spring has drawn more visitors than any off-season in recent memory.

Rain clouds returned this week, but overall, the last few months have been unseasonably warm. The sun has been shining more than usual. Across the state there are reports of low snowpack and early crops.

Managing sunny-day crowds with winter staffing levels has been a bit of a chore, state park workers say. However, they’re already planning a variety of activities in the coming months to make the most of those crowds.

Cama Beach and Camano Island state parks fill their parking lots and picnic tables during the peak season, which runs from May 16 to September 15.

This year, though, the season seemed to start a few months early.

Gabriel Gathmann gets some help from his daughter, Marley, 8, taking down the family tent while his son, Gunner, 11, heats up lunch on a camp stove Friday at Camano Island State Park. The kids were on spring break from school in Monroe and the weather was great, so Gabriel, an artist who works from home, took them camping for a couple of days.

MILL CREEK — As many cities do, Mill Creek trusted a recruiting firm to find and vet candidates for city manager. But of the five top contenders, one has dropped out and another is engaged in a public controversy.

It turns out that good city managers are hard to find. Few candidates have a flawless background. Accusations, critical audits, lawsuits and negative news reports are among the hazards of the job.

“City managers in general, because of their position in the community, can be a target for complaints,” said Byron Katsuyama of the Washington City and County Management Association.

After City Manager Ken Armstrong resigned Jan. 2, the Mill Creek council paid $23,000 to Florida-based recruiting firm Colin Baenziger & Associates to select candidates for the job and look into their backgrounds. The four finalists are coming to town this week to be interviewed.

The public, too, will have a chance to weigh in. A scoresheet will be provided at a public reception at 6 p.m. Thursday in the City Hall annex building.

Mill Creek has hired many city managers over the years.

In fact, the City Council has forced half of them to resign since incorporation in 1983,

collects fares or not is up to them,” Hayes said. “I think that’s a local issue that they need to determine for themselves.”

Fares do appear to be in the district’s future, although there’s no timeframe for when.

“The message has been loud and clear to us from our representatives that the Legislature expects us to help ourselves,” said Rick Almberg, the board chairman and a member of the Oak Harbor City Council. “We all realize

we’re going to have to help ourselves.”

Island Transit started out fare-free in 1987. Its leaders have long insisted charging a fare is contrary to the mission of providing efficient and convenient services for all county residents.

Past leaders argued that collecting a fare generated virtually no extra revenue, once all the costs associated with the collection system were subtracted.

The district has survived on a share of sales tax, state and federal grants and periodic earmarks in the state’s transportation budget.

During the recession, sales tax revenue plunged and state aid dwindled.

including Armstrong.

“It’s going to be a tough choice” this time, “but this council is going to get it right,” Mayor Pam Pruitt said.

Scott Somers, the county manager in Clatsop County, Oregon, was among those recruited by the firm. Last Tuesday, the day the Mill Creek City Council named him as a finalist, Somers and the Clatsop County Commission received notice that a former employee intends to sue for wrongful termination.

Somers fired former Clatsop County Clerk Maeve Kennedy Grimes in December for two errors made on the 2014 election ballot. In an interview with The Herald, he said her claim for wrongful termination doesn’t hold water because he fired her for not following ballot proofreading procedures.

Still, the Clatsop County Commission is spending more than $10,000 to hire

an outside party to review Somers’ performance, the Daily Astorian reported in February.

Another candidate who was asked to apply, Lake Forest Park City Administrator Donald “Pete” Rose, withdrew his name after the finalists were announced last week. Rose told the recruiter he wants to stay in Lake Forest Park to help solve financial problems and oversee the city’s takeover of a water district.

Like Somers, Rose was involved in a firing that was later disputed when he was the administrator for San Juan County. He settled a lawsuit in 2012 with a former county employee, the Journal of the San Juan Islands reported.

Another finalist, Richard Leahy, now the Woodinville city manager, faced a federal civil rights lawsuit related to jobs in 1999, according to court records.

At the time, Leahy was the city administrator in Mukilteo. The plaintiff was seeking $100 million, and

itself engulfed in a financial crisis made worse by lack of oversight, according to a state audit. In that period, former leaders spent reserves, slashed service and laid off workers to cut costs. This year, a new board of directors embarked on a long-term recovery plan and began talking about implementing fares.

“I think there’s a pretty strong feeling that it was only a matter of time that it was going to happen,” Ken Graska, interim executive director of Island Transit, said last week.

The Everett Connector began service in July 2006, carrying passengers between Terry’s Corner

Park and Ride on Camano Island and Everett Station.

There were four round trips during the morning commute and four during the afternoon drive home. Service ended June 30, 2014, due to a lack of money.

Hayes’ amendment would provide $470,000 for Island Transit to try again.

Those dollars would not be released until the Office of Financial Management determined that a fare policy was in place that would achieve a fare box recovery ratio similar to comparable routes of other transit agencies.

Graska said it wasn’t clear if the allotment would be enough to restore service to the same level as

before. He also wasn’t sure if the district must match the amount to receive the money.

The House version of the budget is awaiting action in the Senate.

Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, supports Hayes’ amendment.

“We as a state realize Island Transit is trying very hard to recover,” she said. “I think the time has come for them to charge fares. The cost of operating a transit system that is very much needed needs to be shared by everyone.”

the case was terminated.

Finding lawsuits in a city manager’s background is not uncommon, said Katsuyama, who works with local governments at the nonprofit Municipal Research and Services Center. What matters is how serious a candidate’s past issues are, he said. He counts illegal and unethical behavior among the most concerning.

Colin Baenziger, of the Florida recruiting firm Mill Creek hired, said he was aware that Somers had fired the clerk, but the notice of her intent to sue came after he recommended the finalists to the city.

“It’s a concern anytime someone is filing a lawsuit,” he said. “But there are a lot of frivolous lawsuits filed.”

Baenziger said his job was to narrow the field of 62 candidates who applied to several screened semifinalists for the council to choose from. His firm as done similar work for the cities of Mountlake Terrace, Bellevue, Tacoma and Fife.

The firm conducts federal, state and county criminal background

checks before recommending a candidate. It also searches for civil court cases at the county and federal levels.

Baenziger also looks at driving and financial records. He verifies education and the past 15 years of employment.

Baenziger asks the candidates for the names of about 20 references. He talks to at least eight and writes a summary of his findings for the council to read.

“Sometimes people don’t want to tell you the bad stuff, but if you talk to enough people you’ll find out,” he said.

He also runs each candidate through Google and includes news clippings in a lengthy document about each.

“I think they did a pretty good job of vetting the people they put forward,” Councilman Mike Todd said of the consultant.

Baenziger provided the council with 691 pages of documents in all, including resumes, cover letters, writing samples, background checks, reference summaries and the newspaper articles. Baenziger

also provided a summary of facts about the candidates, but it did not include analysis from news reports or opinion pieces.

“We let them read all 600 pages,” Baenziger said.

Because the information came out a few days before the council had to select finalists, it was a challenge to read all of the material carefully, said Councilman Vincent Cavaleri.

“You’re glancing through it in a short amount of time,” he said.

Cavaleri said the council trusted the consulting firm to vet the candidates.

But he plans on doing a “thorough secondary assessment” when the city manager hopefuls come to Mill Creek this week.

Mayor Pruitt echoed those sentiments.

“It appears they were pretty thorough,” she said of Baenziger’s research.

Pruitt said the council has had three “bad experiences” with past city managers and intends to avoid problems this time.

The council expects to make a decision April 21.

Dems, GOP differ on transportation reform

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

OLYMPIA — House Democrats released a $15.5 billion transportation package Monday that would raise the gas tax and spend those dollars much like the plan passed by the Republican-controlled Senate in March.

The House proposal, like the Senate’s $15.1 billion plan, calls for an 11.7-cent gas tax increase and increased license-plate fees while rejecting Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee’s idea of imposing a new fee on carbon emissions to pay for road improvements.

Both legislative proposals span 16 years, but the House blueprint outlines more spending than the Senate on highway projects, maintenance of existing roads and Washington State Ferries.

There are two areas in which the plans sharply diverge: House Democrats reject several reforms pushed by Senate Republicans, and they don’t pour as many dollars into projects in Snohomish County.

The House Transportation Committee is scheduled to vote on the proposal Tuesday night.

Negotiations will then begin on a compromise plan, though it’s

uncertain if the two chambers can reconcile their differences before the scheduled end of legislative session April 26.

“It doesn’t take months to negotiate,” said Rep. Judy Clibborn, D-Mercer Island, chairwoman of the committee. “We have time to get this done.”

If they don’t reach a deal, the issue is important enough that lawmakers should go into special session to complete the task, she said.

Sen. Curtis King, R-Yakima, who is chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, said he needed to study the plan.

“I look forward to the opportunity to try and negotiate a transportation revenue package that we all can vote for,” he said.

The House proposal allocates $8.3 billion for new transportation projects, $1.7 billion on maintenance and preservation, and $676 million for the ferry system, of which a portion is to build a new 144-car ferry. There’s also $1.3 billion for public transportation.

Big chunks go to mega-projects such as completing the Highway 520 floating bridge between Seattle and the Eastside suburbs and widening I-405 from Lynnwood to Renton.

New snow opens 2 lifts at Stevens

By Jessi Loerch Herald writer

Stevens Pass Mountain Resort opened to skiers and snowboarders Sunday and will stay open through Wednesday, conditions permitting. If more snow falls, it’s possible a few more days will be added.

The ski area had been closed since March 14 due to low snow for much of the season.

Two lifts, Skyline and 7th Heaven, are running. There are no beginner runs available and the terrain parks are closed.

With low coverage, the conditions can be challenging, said Chris Danforth, VP of sales and marketing for the resort.

“It’s thin coverage at the base area, so you need to be an adept skier,” he said.

Starting about 5 p.m. Sunday, the convergence zone kicked in and the ski area received about 13 inches of snow in a few hours.

Skiers and riders were stoked, Danforth said.

“It’s one of the few powder days we’ve had in the Pacific Northwest this season,” he said.

Even with short notice — the resort announced it was open at 5:30 a.m. Sunday — it still had nearly 900 people come out. On Monday, there was about 400 people.

While that’s a good deal fewer people than usual at this time of year, Danforth said they just wanted to give people one more chance to ski or snowboard.

“We love skiing and riding and we know we have passionate people out there and we just wanted to have a few more fun days,” he said.

The ski area will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets are $40 for adults, $15 for 70 and older, $28 for ages 7-15, free for those 6 and under. Check the ski area’s website, www.stevenpass.com, for updates on conditions.

SNOHOMISH — A muchanticipated purchase of a nearly 12-mile stretch of rail corridor between the city of Snohomish and Woodinville won’t be happening for now.

Snohomish County is preparing to back away from a $5 million sale agreement with the landowner, the Port of Seattle, which has been under discussion since late 2013. The County Council is expected to formally end negotiations on Wednesday.

“We just agreed with the port that maybe we need to start fresh,” county public works director Steve Thomsen said.

“And we’re not sure what that

Everett homeless plan hits resistance

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

corridor is part of an old rail line the Port of Seattle bought in 2009. The East Side Rail Corridor originated in the 1880s, but had dwindled to minimal freight use by the time BNSF sold it.

The port paid BNSF Railway $81 million for 42 miles of track and right of way extending from Snohomish south to Renton. The property included a spur line to Redmond. The Port sold off sections to King County, Redmond, Kirkland and Sound Transit.

Woodinville hopes to finalize the purchase of a two-mile segment of the corridor later this year, leaving the Snohomish County portion the only stretch still under port ownership.

EVERETT — The Everett City Council plans to take up three ordinances this week designed to address problems centered on the city’s homeless population.

The plan is meeting some resistance from the public.

One ordinance would ban sitting or lying on sidewalks along Smith Avenue from the Everett Gospel Mission to Everett Station. Another would establish a large alcohol impact area in which certain cheap beverages could not be sold.

A third ordinance would ban panhandling at any street corner with a traffic signal — where traffic is likely to stop on major arterials — or in a median strip.

“This, in my opinion, will hurt the most vulnerable among us,” said Mike LaPointe, the owner of the Firewheel Community Coffeehouse in downtown Everett, testifying to the Council on April 8.

“As far as I’m concerned this proposal will make homelessness illegal,” LaPointe said.

He added that the ordinance would do nothing to address the causes of homelessness.

“When we take the homeless and say, ‘Get the hell out of our city,’ we’re not showing empathy, we’re showing window dressing for people who come here to visit,” he said.

Two other speakers from the Seattle housing advocacy group SAFE (which stands for Standing Against Foreclosure & Eviction) warned the city that the ordinances could face legal challenges, similar to what the city of Burien experienced when it passed similar legislation. The American Civil Liberties Union has also challenged the law.

Jackie Minchew, a former Everett city council candidate, said that while he largely supported the work of the Everett Community Streets Initiative, he found it unsettling that the city’s first steps were more punitive than preventative.

“I didn’t anticipate these sorts of ordinances will be the ones we would enact first,” Minchew said.

The Streets Initiative task force was convened last year by Mayor Ray Stephanson to come up with proposed solutions to the city’s chronic problems with homelessness, addiction, mental illness and public nuisances.

Snohomish-Woodinville corridor plan on hold

By Noah Haglund

There is $335 million allotted for road, transit and ferry projects in Snohomish County, based on documents released Monday.

That compares to $570 million in the Senate proposal and $82 million the governor set aside in the transportation package he put out in December.

“I have some concerns,” said Rep. Mike Sells, D-Everett, who serves on the House Transportation Committee. “I prefer the Senate package in terms of projects. It is much better for Snohomish County.”

looks like right now.”

Complications have included how to accommodate both train tracks and a pedestrian-bicycle trail over some bridges and trestles, Thomsen said. There are also potential ownership questions on portions of the trail.

The purchase has been talked up as a way to connect Snohomish County’s popular Centennial Trail to an extensive network of recreation trails in King County.

The addition would have supplied a missing link to downtown Woodinville and King County’s Sammamish River Trail.

The corridor also sees some freight use.

The county’s plan has always been to use the corridor for both recreation and train traffic.

Snohomish city leaders have long eyed the rail segment’s potential to ferry trains full of tourists and — some day — even commuters. Mayor Karen Guzak called the setback “a short-term disappointment,” though she still harbors “a long-term hope.”

“We are still really excited about the potential for both rail and trail, but we understand the complexities of this purchase,” Guzak said. “We just need to be patient.”

No city projects are directly affected by the disintegration of the county deal. That includes the city’s plans to turn 20 acres of land recently purchased from the Stocker family into a park along the Snohomish River.

The largest proposed Snohomish County expenditure, $131 million, is for building a new Highway 9 bridge over the Snohomish River. Other items in the plan include: ■ $44 million for a new off ramp on Highway 526 at Hardeson Road near the Boeing Co. complex.

■ $37 million to rebuild the interchange of I-5 and Highway 529 in Marysville.

■ $35 million to widen Highway 531 to four lanes near Arlington Municipal Airport.

The House plan also would not transfer money from a state toxic clean-up fund into removing fish passage barriers, as the Senate’s does.

And the House plan does not contain the Senate’s so-called “poison pill” that would shift money for public transit to road projects if the governor pursues a

elsewhere. In March, the Everett Police Department, working with the Everett Gospel Mission and other social services groups, cleared out a large perennial homeless encampment under I-5 near the mission.

Several of the people in the encampment — the exact number is not known — were steered into various programs for housing, addiction treatment or to address some other need, and no one was arrested at the time.

However, about 20 people returned to the area to camp out near the mission, even though the sidewalks under the freeway are now fenced off.

Clibborn downplayed the potential chasm between the two chambers on reforms.

“I don’t think the reform bills are the big sticking point. I really don’t,” she said.

Under the House plan, the gas tax would go up by a nickel on July 1, increase another 4.2 cents next year and 2.5 more cents a year later. If approved, it would boost the state’s gas tax from 37.5 cents per gallon today to 49.2 cents in mid-2017.

Money in the Republican plan also would be generated by increasing vehicle registration fees by $15 to $35 a year, depending on the weight of a car or truck, and raise the cost of certain commercial driver’s licenses. A new $5 charge on the sale of each studded tire is proposed, as well.

Grants from the county’s property-tax funded Conservation Futures program would have supplied $3.5 million of the Snohomish County purchase. Other county funds would have covered the remaining $1.5 million.

The property runs from the city of Snohomish to the north end of King County’s Brightwater treatment plant in Maltby. It measures about 100 feet wide in most places, but reaches up to 200 feet in some areas, Thomsen said. In spots, it’s more of a rail easement than solid real estate.

City Council meeting The Everett City Council will consider three ordinances at its Wednesday meeting, which starts at 6:30 p.m. in City Council Chambers, Historic City Hall, 3002 Wetmore Ave. the commercial corridors along Broadway and Evergreen Way, some businesses do not support the ordinance.

Gigi Burke, a former city councilwoman whose family owns Crown Distributing Co., a regional distributor for AnheuserBusch, said alcohol impact areas generally don’t work.

“By eliminating certain packages of product all you’re doing is hurting the retailer,” Burke said.

The problems lie with

consumer demand, she said.

She said the industry has been working with the problems with alcohol for decades and they are willing to work with local officials to craft a solution.

“I believe the industry should have been invited to the table on the Streets Initiative group,” Burke said.

“They have a lot of programs and resources available.”

business of freight operator Eastside Community Rail. The Snohomish-based company stands ready to work with the county and the port to make the deal materialize, director Doug Engle said.

“The railroad continues to support rail and trail together,” Engle said. “We believe there are things we can do to help the county get the trail it’s looking for.”

In the near future, Engle wants to increase the number of freight cars it runs a couple of times per week to serve industrial properties in Maltby. The company still envisions excursion trains between Snohomish’s antique district and downtown Woodinville. Commuter trains, he said, could be running “within a decade.”

Brenda Stonecipher said she feared the ordinances wouldn’t have a long-term impact until the underlying causes were treated.

Both city officials and Streets Initiative task force members have worried that enacting new laws against certain behaviors would simply force the problem to move elsewhere.

As if to emphasize that point, on Monday morning, a woman was injured when a garbage truck picked up the container she was sleeping in behind a north Everett Taco Bell and dumped her into the compactor.

The woman’s male companion was able to climb out onto the roof of the garbage truck as it drove down Broadway, but she was stuck inside. Several

pedestrians saw the man and called the driver’s attention to him, said Eric Hicks, Everett’s assistant fire marshal.

The woman had been crushed by the compactor, he said.

Rescue workers were able to free the woman, put her on a backboard and transport her to Providence Regional Medical Center, Hicks said.

The woman’s injuries were not considered lifethreatening, but could have been.

In a similar incident in December, a 23-year-old man was found dead at a recycling center. Travis A. Thurman was determined to have died from blunt force injuries before arriving at the recycling plant.

Russia lifts ban on missiles to Iran

By Vladimir Isachenkov Associated Press

MOSCOW — President Vladimir Putin on Monday sanctioned the delivery of a highly capable Russian air defense missile system to Iran, a game changer that would significantly bolster the Islamic republic’s military capability and fuel Israel’s concerns.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry objected to Moscow’s decision in a phone call to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and the White House indicated the move could endanger plans to ultimately lift sanctions on Iran as part of a proposed nuclear deal.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said unity and coordination with nations like Russia is critical to the success of the negotiations. Washington has said Moscow played a constructive role in the Iranian nuclear talks, despite sharp differences between Russia and the West over Ukraine.

Putin’s move was quickly welcomed by Tehran, while it worried Israel, which saw it as a sign that Iran already had begun to cash in on the emerging nuclear deal with world powers that is expected to be finalized by the end of June.

Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said the missile system could be shipped to Iran at any moment.

Russia signed the $800 million contract to sell Iran the S-300 missile system in 2007, but suspended its delivery three years later because of strong objections from the United States and Israel. Putin on Monday lifted that ban.

The preliminary agreement on settling the Iranian nuclear standoff struck earlier this month made the 2010 Russian

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration stepped up its effort Monday to try to persuade lawmakers not to pass any legislation that could hamper prospects for negotiating a final deal with Iran to curb its nuclear program — a deal Secretary of State John Kerry said has been misrepresented.

A Senate panel is to vote Tuesday on a bill that would give Congress a say on a potential deal aimed at keeping Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Monday he will bring the bill to the floor if the Senate acts on legislation giving Congress the power to review any deal.

Republicans and Democrats maintain that Congress should have a say on an international deal with Tehran to curb its nuclear program and have

An S-300 anti-aircraft missile system is on display at an undisclosed Russian location in this undated photo. Russia has lifted its ban on the delivery of a sophisticated air defense missile system to Iran.

ban unnecessary, Lavrov said in a televised statement.

The framework agreement reached by Iran and six world powers is intended to significantly restrict its ability to produce nuclear weapons while giving it relief from international sanctions. The agreement is supposed to be finalized by June 30, and there is no firm agreement yet on how or when to lift the international sanctions on Iran.

The S-300 missile system, which has a range of up to 125 miles and the capability to track down and strike multiple targets simultaneously, is one of the most potent air defense weapons in the world.

“The S-300 is exclusively a defensive weapon, which can’t serve offensive purposes and will not jeopardize the security of any country, including, of

course, Israel,” Lavrov said.

Deployed in big numbers, the system could provide a strong deterrent against any air attack.

Israeli Cabinet minister Yuval Steinitz said the framework nuclear agreement helped legitimize Iran and cleared the way for Monday’s announcement by Russia.

“This is a direct result of the legitimacy that Iran obtained from the emerging nuclear deal,” Steinitz said. “Instead of demanding Iran stop its terror activities that it spreads in the Middle East and the entire world, it is being allowed to arm itself with advanced weapons that will only increase its aggression.”

Israel has harshly criticized the U.S.-led nuclear deal, saying it would give Iran relief from sanctions while leaving its

nuclear program largely intact.

Israel believes Iran still intends to develop a nuclear weapon.

Moscow’s plans to sell the S-300s to Iran long have been an irritant in Russia-Israeli relations. In recent years, Israel has refrained from providing sophisticated weapons to Georgia and Ukraine as part of an “understanding” with Russia that it not sell the s300s to Iran — a position that now may change.

In Tehran, Iranian Defense Minister Gen. Hossein Dehghan welcomed Russia’s decision to lift the ban. “The decision is the translation of political determination of leaders of both countries for improving and promoting cooperation levels in all fields,” Gen. Dehghan was quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying.

lined up behind legislation.

The White House has pushed back, threatening a veto while warning that the bill could scuttle the delicate talks involving the United States, Iran and five world powers.

President Barack Obama has threatened to veto the bill as it’s written, although senators from both parties are expected to offer amendments.

“There have been a lot of representations, misrepresentations” about what’s contained in the framework agreement the U.S. and its partner nations negotiated with Tehran, Kerry told reporters outside a congressional auditorium where he was giving a closed-door briefing.

A reporter suggested that many lawmakers already have made up their minds about the Iran deal and the bill that would allow Congress to weigh in on an important foreign policy issue facing the president.

“We’ll wait and see. That’s why

we’re here,” Kerry replied.

At the White House, Obama met with Jewish leaders. While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is skeptical that negotiators can reach a verifiable deal with Iran, some American Jewish groups have backed the international negotiations.

McCarthy, R-Calif., told reporters that he has spoken with Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. McCarthy said he told Corker that if the Senate approves the bill, the House will vote on it.

“Lines in the sands have moved back,” McCarthy said, claiming the U.S. has back-tracked on some of the demands it had at the beginning of the talks. “A lot of the questions will be why have they moved back and will Iran ever be able to have the capability of having a nuclear weapon?

That’s a key question.”

Under the bill, Obama could

unilaterally lift or ease any sanctions that were imposed on Iran through presidential executive means. But the bill would prohibit him for 60 days from suspending, waiving or otherwise easing any sanctions that Congress levied on Iran.

During that 60-day period, Congress could hold hearings and approve, disapprove or take no action on any final nuclear agreement with Iran.

If Congress passed a joint resolution approving a final deal — or took no action — Obama could move ahead to ease sanctions levied by Congress. But if Congress passed a joint resolution disapproving it, Obama would be blocked from providing Iran with any relief from congressional sanctions.

Iran says its program is for civilian purposes, but the U.S. and its partners negotiating with Tehran suspect Tehran is keen to become a nucleararmed powerhouse in the Middle East.

Robot sent into Japan’s damaged reactor

By Mari Yamaguchi Associated Press

TOKYO — The operator of the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant said Monday that the first robot sent inside one of the melted reactors stalled before finishing its work but collected data that indicates a path exists to send robots deeper into the reactor.

That’s good news for experts designing a robot aimed at locating and investigating the residue of the nuclear fuel that melted in the 2011 disaster.

Tokyo Electric Power Co. said the robot stalled after completing about two-thirds of its mission Friday inside the Unit 1 containment vessel.

TEPCO spokesman Teruaki Kobayashi said the robot collected temperature and radiation data and images from parts of the platform around the area known as the pedestal

GOP’s Rubio joins presidential race MIAMI — Hoping to turn his relative youth into a benefit, Republican Sen.

Jeb Bush.

Rubio is betting voters’ frustrations with Washington will help him defeat two members of America’s political dynasties and capture the White House.

The first-generation Cuban-American faces an uphill climb to the GOP nomination in his effort to reshape how the electorate views Republicans as a party.

below the bottom of the reactor core before it became stuck and unrecoverable.

A second robot mission scheduled for Monday was

postponed while engineers investigate the cause of the stalling.

The 2-foot-long, snakeshaped robot entered the

containment chamber through a pipe and transformed into a U-shape crawler after it landed on the platform.

A 2½ minute edited compilation of images transmitted by the robot, released Monday by TEPCO, showed steam wafting from inside the dark container, lit by a lamp mounted on the robot as it slowly maneuvered around debris that looked like small rocks and metal parts.

The images contained numerous white dots believed to be caused by gamma rays.

Kobayashi said the test also showed the robot tolerated radiation and that the levels were significantly lower than anticipated.

That means robots can last longer and some wireless devices may even be usable, although the radiation levels were way too high for people to enter the area, even wearing protective gear.

A federal judge sentenced former Blackwater security guard Nicholas Slatten to life in prison and three others to 30-year terms for their roles in a 2007 shooting that killed 14 Iraqi civilians and wounded 17 others. The carnage in Baghdad’s Nisoor Square caused an international uproar over the use of private security guards in a war zone.

No Obama endorsement President Barack Obama isn’t planning to endorse his former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton for president any time soon. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Obama is staying out of it because friends of his may also run. Earnest didn’t mention any one by name, but that could include Vice President Joe Biden.

Ariz.: Jodi Arias gets life The nearly seven-year legal saga of Jodi Arias ended Monday as a judge sentenced her to life in prison for killing her ex-boyfriend and the victim’s sisters unleashed their pain over the 2008 murder that captivated social media with its salacious details. Three of Travis Alexander’s sisters tearfully urged Judge Sherry Stephens to impose the harshest penalty available against Arias. They described Arias as “unrepentant” and “evil” and lashed out at her for smearing Alexander’s name.

Wis.: Driver shot, killed after his van strikes child A man whose van struck and killed a 2-year-old boy on a Milwaukee street was shot to death after getting out to check on the child, police said.

A 15-year-old boy who came from a nearby house also was fatally shot.

Archie Brown Jr., 41, died at the scene of Sunday evening’s accident in Milwaukee’s near northwest side, police said.

They identified the child as 2-year-old Damani Terry and the teen as Rasheed T. Chiles, who died at a hospital. Police on Monday said Brown was distraught about hitting the child and stopped right away, according to witnesses. The statement didn’t explain how and why Chiles was shot, but police said he and the 2-year-old were attending the same party at the house near the accident.

AROUND THE WORLD Lebanon: Hezbollah leader lashes out at Saudi Arabia A top leader of the Lebanese militant Hezbollah group directed a barrage of criticism at Saudi Arabia on Monday, accusing the kingdom of committing genocide with its airstrike campaign targeting Yemen’s Shiite rebels and warning it will “pay a heavy price” for its involvement. The Shiite militant group’s deputy chief, Sheikh Naim Kassem, said Saudi Arabia made a “strategic mistake” by interfering in Yemen’s internal affairs. More than two weeks of Saudiled airstrikes targeting Yemen’s Shiite rebels, known as Houthis, have failed to stop the rebel power grab.

Iraq: IS gains, loses ground Islamic State militants have lost control of up to 6,500 square miles in Iraq, but they have gained ground in Syria since August, the Pentagon said Monday. Army Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, said the front lines of the territory held by the group have been pushed further south and west in Iraq. But airstrikes have not had the same success in Syria, where the militants have largely held onto a broad area across the north and east.

Telecom biz fights new net rules

By Tali Arbel Associated Press

NEW YORK — A legal fight against the Federal Communications Commission’s new Internet traffic rules has begun with a suit by the United States Telecom Association, an industry group that represents companies including AT&T and Verizon.

The FCC’s rules were approved in February and uphold the principle of net neutrality — that online content be allowed to load at the same speed. They forbid paid fast lanes favoring some

content and say broadband providers can’t slow Web traffic or block content.

The rules were published Monday in the government’s Federal Register and would go into effect June 12 if a court doesn’t block them. Litigation could take years.

USTelecom said Monday that it has filed suit to throw out the rules in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

The suit asks for a review of the FCC’s rules on the grounds that they violate federal law and are arbitrary. The suit also says the FCC didn’t follow the proper

procedure for creating the rules.

An FCC spokeswoman said Monday that the agency is confident the new Internet rules will be upheld by the courts.

Internet service providers have said they support net neutrality, and USTelecom seconded that Monday. What some companies take issue with is that the FCC put the net neutrality rules in place by regulating Internet access as a telecommunications service — like the telephone, a public utility — rather than as an information service. Some broadband providers don’t like the stricter oversight

that comes with that change.

Because of that, the FCC will be able to investigate complaints from consumers and Internet companies such as Netflix about “unjust or unreasonable” behavior by broadband providers like Comcast, Verizon and AT&T. Internet service providers say they are worried that aspects of the new rules are unclear — what practices would the FCC deem unfair? An AT&T executive has said that the FCC’s new rules mean “a period of uncertainty that will damage broadband investment in the United States.”

Bed, bath and branding Hotels chains hide behind confusing new names

By Scott Mayerowitz Associated Press

NEW YORK — Today’s traveler faces a bewildering choice of hotel brands with similarsounding and confusing names.

Want to stay at a Hyatt? Take your pick. There’s Hyatt Regency, Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt House, Hyatt Place and, coming soon, Hyatt Centric.

Vacationers once relied on big-name hotel brands to signal the kind of experience they could expect. People knew what Holiday Inn, Hilton, Hyatt or Marriott meant. Familiarity bred a sense of comfort.

No longer.

The world’s 10 largest hotel chains now offer a combined 113 brands at various price points, 31 of which didn’t exist a decade ago. And there’s no sign of this proliferation slowing down.

Thanks to high occupancy levels and cheap interest rates,

developers are scrambling to build new properties. At the same time, hotels are trying to lure a new generation of travelers who want unique and hip places to sleep.

These so-called lifestyle hotels are the hot area for growth. They are designed to attract millennials: travelers between the ages of 18 and 34 who hotels say aren’t interested in marble bathtubs but might enjoy beanbag chairs.

“The big hotel chains are in the business of pretending they aren’t big chains. They want you to think they are boutiques,” says Pauline Frommer, editorial director for Frommer’s, the travel guide company founded by her father, Arthur Frommer. “This dizzying array of brand names is a good way for them to hide. The vast majority of the public is not going to keep track.”

In the past year, Marriott International Inc. launched Moxy, Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc.

created Canopy, Best Western International Inc. came up with Vib and InterContinental Hotels Group PLC — the parent company of Holiday Inn — purchased Kimpton, adding its boutique hotels to the larger chain.

And hotel executives say more brands are on the way.

“The Internet has driven people to more niches. Everything is more segmented,” says Best Western CEO David Kong. “Our six brands are actually six different needs.”

This is a good time to own a hotel. U.S. hotels are now selling 65 percent of their room nights, up from 55 percent five years ago, according to travel-research company STR Inc. Guests are also paying more: $115.72 on average a night, up from $97.31.

BECU plans to shut down for part of a day in October so 1,300 employees can lead Financial Reality Fairs in high schools across Washington. The credit union is calling the initiative “Closing for Good” and it aims to give students real-life budgeting information.

All 42 of the nonprofit’s offices will be closed Oct. 1 until 1 p.m. BECU call centers, ATMs and other supporting services will remain online.

Schools interested in participating in Closed for Good can go to www.becu.org/ClosingForGood for details.

The National Basketball Association said Monday that it’s struck a marketing partnership with Pepsico, ending a 28-year partnership with Coca-Cola. Pepsico CEO Indra Nooyi said Monday in New York that the company will bring the power of its portfolio of 22 brands to the NBA, including Pepsi, Lay’s and Doritos. Separately, Coca-Cola said Monday that it signed a multiyear partnership with the U.S. Soccer Federation and Major League Soccer.

By David Koenig DALLAS — Think flying is getting worse? A pair of university researchers who track the airline business say it’s a fact.

More flights are late, more bags are getting lost, and customers are lodging more complaints about U.S. airlines, government data shows. Dean Headley, a marketing professor at Wichita State and one of the co-authors of the annual report being released Monday, said passengers already know that air travel is getting worse.

“We just got the numbers to prove it.”

Among the findings in the report: Lateness: The percentage of flights that arrived on time fell to 76.2 percent last year from 78.4 percent in 2013. Best on-time performance: Hawaiian Airlines. Worst: Envoy Air, which operates most American Eagle flights.

Lost bags: The rate of lost, stolen or delayed bags rose 13 percent in 2014. Best: Virgin America. Worst: Envoy. Airlines lose one bag for every 275 or so passengers, but at Envoy, the rate is one lost bag for every 110 passengers, according to government figures.

Overbooking: The rate of passengers getting bumped from flights rose 3 percent.

Best: Virgin America. Worst: a tie, between SkyWest and its ExpressJet subsidiary.

Complaints: Consumer complaints to the government jumped 22 percent in 2014.

Best: Alaska Airlines. Worst: Frontier.

Regional carriers, which operate flights under names like American Eagle, United Express and Delta Connection, tend to earn the worst

Artist sues Apple Artist Romero Britto is suing Apple Inc. and a design firm in federal court, accusing them of misusing his color-splashed images and distinctive style in marketing campaigns. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages from Cupertino, California-based Apple and the design duo Craig Redman, of New York, and Karl Maier, of London, whose company is called Craig & Karl. Apple’s “Start Something New” marketing campaign was cited in the suit as one recent example of misuse of Britto art.

Prescription spending U.S. spending on prescription drugs soared last year, driven up primarily by costly breakthrough medicines, manufacturer price hikes and a surge from millions of people newly insured due to the Affordable Care Act. Spending rose 13 percent, the biggest jump since 2001, to a total of $374 billion, according to a report released Tuesday by the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics. After accounting for population growth and inflation, the increase equaled 10 percent.

U.S. budget deficit The deficit through the first half of the budget year ran slightly above last year’s pace, with the March imbalance up $16 billion over a year ago.

The Treasury Department said Monday that the March deficit came to $52.9 billion compared to a deficit of $36.9 billion in March 2014.

a Hilton, Comfort Inn, Sheraton or something else. Competition is fierce from the hotel chains to ensure that new properties falls under their brand.

But a city can support only so many Marriott hotels. That’s why Marriott International offers 19 different brands, including Courtyard, Residence Inn, Ritz-Carlton and TownePlace Suites.

Several hotel executives acknowledge an excess of brands, although each blames their competitors, not themselves.

“With very few exceptions, brands are probably

overdone,” says Steve Joyce, CEO of Choice Hotels, whose 11 brands include Comfort Inn, EconoLodge, MainStay Suites and Cambria Suites. “I don’t see a consumer demand.”

But with developers eager to break ground while financing remains cheap, hotel companies are willing to do anything to sign on new properties. In the next four years, a quarter of Marriott’s growth will come from brands that didn’t exist five years ago.

“It’s not a question of how many brands. It is a question of the right brands,” says Anthony

Capuano, global chief development officer for Marriott. “We may need more.”

The last time the hotel industry saw this many new brands introduced was in 2006 and 2007, just before the Great Recession, says Adam Weissenberg, the global leader of Deloitte & Touche’s travel consulting business.

Will most of these brands still be around in five years? Some experts doubt it. “Tastes will ultimately change,” says Mark Lunt of Ernst and Young’s real estate transaction advisory business.

flights, finished last in the overall rankings.

But the picture was bleak at the four biggest U.S. airlines, too.

On-time performance fell and complaint rates rose at American, United, Delta and Southwest.

The researchers blamed consolidation through mergers, which has reduced competition.

Headley said airlines

performed better in the years after 2001, when travel demand fell and planes were less crowded.

Airlines also were losing money.

They returned to profitability when the airlines left after mergers limited flights to keep fares up. The average plane is now more than 80 percent full at most airlines, and many flights are oversold.

“They have put the same number of people in fewer airplanes,” Headley said in an interview. “Anytime the system ramps up, it goes haywire.”

The annual report is now in its 25th year. Headley and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University professor Brent Bowen use information that the airlines submit to the U.S. Department of Transportation.

by retailers, credit card companies and other financial institutions. You can figure out the steps to better credit, so that when you need it you pay less.

You can learn to maximize the money you do have.

You can climb out of that hole by getting some financial coaching. Let me be clear. The compassionate thing to do is to assist those who are barely making a living wage. Part of helping them is supporting and financing community-based programs that provide financial capability services or coaching.

NeighborWorks, which supports nonprofits around the country that offer such programs, has found that coaching works.

Yet many people don’t

know there is free or lowcost nonprofit financial capability help in their communities.

You can start your search on NeighborWorks’ site (neighborworks.org). Click the link for “Our Network.”

Then select “Network Directory.” Search using your ZIP code. Not every local group listed will offer financial coaching but ask around for ones that do. Contact the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (lisc.org), which has a network of “Financial Opportunity Centers.”

Think of a financial coach as a hand up to put you on the way to better money management.

Watering down water quality that it’s easier and safer to keep toxic chemicals out of the water than to clean them up or wait for them to end up in the seafood we eat, sought to identify the most dangerous chemicals, track them back to their sources and seek out safer alternatives. The “chemical action plans” would have given the Ecology Department authority to require manufacturers to seek out safer alternatives and even ban certain chemicals if safer chemicals were already available.

The House, before passing the bill on to the Senate, stripped Ecology’s authority to ban chemicals, requiring any bans to be authorized by the Legislature, where such action can be challenged by industry lobbyists. Although the bill amended by the House was weaker that what he preferred, Inslee supported it.

But the gutting continued in the Senate, as its Committee on Energy, Environment

and Telecommunications further weakened the legislation by even limiting the chemicals that Ecology could study and doing so only with the Legislature’s approval. The bill only allows action plans for substances on two lists of known toxic chemicals and not of chemicals of which less is known.

Inslee no longer supports the legislation, Investigate West reported. It’s hard to imagine how the governor could defend it before the EPA as a meaningful update of water quality standards.

The danger of hamstringing the state environmental watchdog’s ability to require safer chemical alternatives is well illustrated by what happened when the state banned flame retardants called PBDEs in 2007. Manufacturers of children’s clothing and furniture turned to other flame retardants, specifically halogenated retardants made

with chlorine or bromine, that themselves have proved toxic and carcinogenic when they burn and a health threat to children and firefighters.

Legislation to ban the halogenated retardants has not advanced this session, languishing in the same Senate committee that watered down the water quality bill.

There remains an opportunity before the end of the session for the Senate to restore the Department of Ecology’s ability to study the chemicals and develop the action plans, preferably without having to waste time waiting for an OK from lawmakers. At the same time it and the House will have to agree on the funding necessary to do the work. The House halved the governor’s $12 million budget request to $6 million; the Senate further reduced it to $4 million.

Fund the work and allow Ecology to do its job.

is time to start the process to re-open a CNR spring wild steelhead fishery. It should be done with regard to solid science, stringent regulations and monitoring.

Anglers should be part of the solution and believe that there is science that backs-up the opinion that CNR fishing is not part of the problem.

end hunger. Then work on a living wage, since more than 60 percent of recipients work and still qualify for food stamps (Coalition Against Hunger). The Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit are helping to keep people out of poverty, why not increase these?

Of course none of this will happen unless people raise their voices and ask their representatives to do this.

Enough calls and emails will make it good politics to end the tragedy of hunger in America.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■WILD STEELHEAD

Reopen season, balance possible Occupy Skagit III was held on April 4 in Rockport.

On that Saturday I joined approximately 70 other fellow recreational fishers on the Skagit to mark another year since the spring catch-andrelease wild steelhead season has been closed. Finding a balance between wild steelhead fishing opportunity and conservation can be tough in Puget Sound rivers these days; however, the Skagit River may provide both options if we do it right.

When the Skagit CNR wild steelhead fishery closed in 2010 it was done for good reason. The declining population was listed as threatened under the ESA. The closure was a tough pill to swallow especially on such an iconic steelhead stream. It was a reality check that we all supported. Sometimes sacrifices need to be made in conservation.

Due to numerous factors the trend of wild steelhead adult returns on the Skagit is reversing. Each season we are seeing more and more steelhead return to this system. In 2014, 9,500 fish came back to the Skagit to spawn as part of a continued upward trend.

The 70 fishers that showed up on Saturday think that it

During the debate, the Republican majority voted down amendments that represent the absolute core values of our state. With the help of a rule change that required a supermajority to pass any budget amendments, Republicans killed proposals that would have guaranteed

equal pay for women, protected transgender children from bullying, provided emergency food assistance to needy families and finally, my amendment that simply would have required vendors who do business with the state to be in line with state and federal anti-discrimination laws.

Many of these amendments actually received the 25 votes necessary to pass under normal circumstances.

But because of a rule change, because some wanted to portray themselves as believers in equality and civil rights with words rather than actions, these amendments failed.

Early Friday morning when I finally walked off the Senate floor, I knew that this incredible institution that I have the great fortune to a part of is… well, broken. It surely does not represent the core values of

our citizens. Washingtonians are a proud and passionate people who stand up for equality and fight to protect children, women, the hungry and our gay and lesbian friends and neighbors. The majority of our state believes in these values — the majority in the Washington state Senate does not.

Last week’s actions were not a defeat; they were a wake up call. While I will continue to work across the aisle to reach bipartisan compromises that advance this state, there can be no compromise when it comes to equality, the protection of our children and the defense of women.

The incredible grass-roots activism that has brought the wrath of people and businesses upon leaders in Indiana led to changes in that state’s absurd anti-gay law.

Now is the time for the citizens

IN OUR VIEW | Gov. Inslee’s toxics clean-up plan

Amendments by the state House and Senate to water quality legislation proposed

by Gov. Jay Inslee have limited its scope and its ability to take timely action and could also now invite enforcement action by the federal Environmental Protection Agency.

The gutting of the legislation, House Bill 1472, was reported last week by Investigate West, a nonprofit journalism organization that has been following the water quality issue. The article appeared in Sunday’s Herald.

Last year Inslee and the state Department of Ecology proposed legislation that would have addressed the EPA’s requirement under the federal Clean Water Act to update its water quality standards, part of which was a recognition that the current fish-consumption standard that was set in 1974 of less than 2 ounces a week was unrealistic.

Inslee’s plan, which reasoned

Editorial Board

of Washington state to stand up for their values too. We must, because the majority in the Senate is clearly out of touch with what matters most. The fact that a majority of senators would vote to allow discrimination to persist is reprehensible.

The actions that took place last week made me furious.

Don’t let this go unnoticed.

Post, Tweet, call your friends and write letters to this paper and others. When leaders are out of touch, it is critical that Washingtonians remind them who they work for.

It is time for Washington state to close loopholes and protect all Washingtonians — across the board — from discrimination in the workplace. We can accept nothing less.

All over except the grudging acceptance

T

hat was quick. Strike up “Happy Days Are Here Again” and cue the balloon drop. Better yet, Democrats could skip the whole primaries-and-convention thing and let Hillary Clinton get to work on picking a running mate.

Barring the political equivalent of an asteroid strike, it’s over. The slick video Clinton released Sunday was both campaign announceEUGENE ROBINSON ment and acceptance speech. I’m tempted to say the Democratic presidential nomination is hers to lose, but I have trouble imagining any plausible way she could lose it.

Martin O’Malley isn’t going to beat her.

Elizabeth Warren isn’t going to run. Jim Webb? Please.

So if Clinton stumbles, who’s going to be in position to take advantage? It’s true that this is not the first time she has appeared to be the inevitable nominee. But it’s useful to recall how she lost in 2008. Barack Obama had more than charisma and his eloquence on the stump. He had a campaign team that invented new ways of mobilizing voters and laid out a detailed and ingenious stateby-state plan to win convention delegates.

Clinton, arguably, didn’t so much get beaten as blindsided; by the time her people realized what was happening, Obama had opened an insurmountable lead.

If Clinton were to allow someone to do that again, she would deserve to lose. But while progressive organizations have done some organizing on behalf of Warren, they won’t get far without a candidate — and Warren has done nothing to indicate she will run. No one in the party is building a broad-based, grass-roots, nationwide presence except Clinton.

Can Clinton be “relatable” or “likable,” or however it is she’s supposed to seem?

Again judging by 2008, she can.

I remember Clinton’s rallies leading up to the Iowa caucuses, when she was still in inevitability mode. She was stiff, cautious, scripted within an inch of her life — as if she were trying to protect a big lead and run out the clock. But after she finished third in Iowa, behind Obama and John Edwards, Clinton became a different candidate. In New Hampshire, she let herself appear open and vulnerable — and she won.

Later, when it was clear that her presidential bid would probably fall short, Clinton got even better. During the second half of the 2008 primary season, she was basically as good as Obama on the stump.

History just wasn’t on her side.

Sunday’s campaign launch came in the form of a gauzy video featuring vignettes of families (white, black, Latino, gay, mixed) talking about the new ventures they are about to launch. After 90 seconds of such, Clinton appears and says that she has a new venture of her own — “I’m running for president” — and wants to be the champion of “everyday Americans” because “the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top.”

Conspicuously absent is a certain William Jefferson Clinton. I have a feeling, though, that he’ll show up eventually. Try as he might, he doesn’t do meek silence well.

After posting the video, Clinton changed the picture on her Twitter profile and set off to Iowa. She and several aides piled into a van for a carefully choreographed road trip. During the 17-hour drive, she would have ample opportunity to interact with those “everyday Americans” she so desperately wants to fight for.

The choreographed launch was overthought, overproduced and, in the cosmic scheme of things, not terribly important in its details. Everyone already knew she was running. More important will be the answers she eventually gives to questions about specific issues, such as fixing income inequality and dealing with Iran.

Many in the progressive wing of the party consider Clinton too cozy with Wall Street and perhaps too willing to use U.S. military power. In the final analysis, however, I believe the GOP will help bring the Democratic Party together.

No sooner had Clinton announced than the Republican National Committee issued a statement saying she has “left a trail of secrecy, scandal and failed policies.” Other Republicans resumed the familiar Benghazi chant. It doesn’t take clairvoyance to predict that the anti-Clinton rhetoric will become more heated, more extreme and more personal. I don’t think anyone will be surprised if it becomes sexist as well.

My guess is that progressive Democrats will react to these attacks by rallying around their party’s certain nominee. This time, Clinton’s inevitability looks real. History may well be on her side for a change.

Camano: More activities planned for summer season From Page A1

of 2013 and 93,919 passes in the last three months of 2014, a 7,235 increase.

Totals for the first few months of 2015 are not yet available but, like the attendance numbers, parks staff expect to see a continued increase.

Linda Burnett has worked at the Washington State Parks information center for about 20 years, and she’s been busier than usual this year.

“Nice weather or bad weather, it always effects park attendance,” she said.

With minimal snow, some record high temperatures and weeks at a time of mostly sunny days, winter felt more like spring, she said.

State parks have not yet hired extra employees to keep up with the increased number of visitors, and it’s a strain on park managers, Painter said. However, staffing is set to nearly double in May and stay that way until late September. The state parks

department goes from 500 full-time employees in the off-season to 900 full-time summer positions, many of which are broken down into multiple part-time jobs to help with maintenance, office and cleaning crews.

“The more people you get, the more work there is to do and the harder it is to keep up with it,” Hoppe said.

He’s looking forward to getting some extra hands around the park next month. Hoppe has been the ranger at Camano Island State Park for about four years and this is the busiest he’s seen it this early in the year.

Tina Dinzl-Pederson, the interpretive specialist for Cama Beach and Camano Island state parks, is coordinating a variety of events that start in May and continue through the summer.

In past years, the parks had one activity five days a week. This summer, the plan is to have multiple activities every day.

Options include nature walks, crafts, live music and outdoor science lessons. Kids can weave jewelry out of ivy and adults can learn some new steps at the Kick Up Your Heels and Dance series in July. Annual staples like Quilts on the Beach and the Beach Art Festival also are on the schedule.

“A lot of people like coming out during the day, especially,” DinzlPederson said. “It’s been so lovely that everyone’s outdoors.”

Andrea and Robert Doll of Anacortes were packing up Monday morning after an overnight stay with their grandchildren at Cama Beach. They rented one of the waterfront cabins, steps away from the pebbly shoreline.

“It’s wonderful looking out on the sea,” Andrea Doll said. “It’s a great place for older people like us and for kids. It’s just ideal.”

Their grandchildren collected shells on the beach,

Flight returns after worker trapped in cargo hold Associated Press SEATTLE — A Los Angeles-bound Alaska Airlines flight had to return to Seattle on Monday after a worker reportedly fell asleep and found himself trapped in the plane’s cargo hold.

Flight 448 had just taken

off Monday afternoon when the pilot heard banging from down below, the airline said in a news release.

The captain immediately returned to Seattle-Tacoma International and declared an emergency for priority landing.

After the plane landed a ramp agent came out

from the front cargo hold, which Alaska says is pressurized and temperature-controlled.

“Upon exiting, he told authorities he had fallen asleep,” the airline said.

The worker, an employee of Menzies Aviation, walked off the plane and appeared OK, but was taken to a

hospital as a precaution.

Alaska said it is still investigating the incident.

The plane was airborne for 14 minutes.

Passenger Marty Collins told KOMO-TV in Seattle the flight was surrounded by emergency vehicles when it returned to the airport.

She said passengers did not hear the worker banging or making noise.

“Nobody on the plane heard anything like that, nobody knew why we were turning around,” she told the station. “They just said we were fine and we weren’t in any danger.”

Passengers were later

told about the situation.

“They just said there was someone in the cargo hold and he’s been escorted off and taken away,” she said.

The flight departed again at 3:52 p.m. and was expected to arrive in Los Angeles at 6:27, about 80 minutes late, according to the airline’s website.

SPOKANE — Spokane school district officials on Monday removed from class 143 students who could not prove they had legally required vaccinations.

More than 700 students in the state’s second-largest district lack complete vaccination documents, so that number was expected to rise, district spokesman Kevin Morrison said. The crackdown began Monday morning.

The Spokane district was believed to be the first in the state to take this action, Morrison said.

“We’re the front-runners,” he said. “Given the increased awareness that the world has of the possibility of pandemic, I think heightened awareness is certainly not a bad thing.”

Students who are removed from school can return once their parents either get the required vaccinations, or sign waivers saying they were opposed to one or more vaccinations, Morrison said.

The Spokane district has about 30,000 students, and only about 729 students lack the required documentation, he said.

The recent measles outbreak across the nation pushed the district to review its vaccine compliance rate, Morrison said.

What they discovered led them to change their process and insist on documentation for every child.

He could not speculate on whether other school districts in the region or the state would follow.

After the measles outbreak, Spokane district officials discovered about

6 percent of their students lacked proper vaccination documentation. In February they launched a program to inform parents that their children needed vaccinations or waivers.

The school district and the Spokane Regional Health District also held a series of vaccination clinics.

That helped drop the out-of-compliance rate to about 3 percent, Morrison said.

Ensuring students are vaccinated is complicated because 60 different languages are spoken by students in the Spokane district, and about 30 percent of the students leave their school each year, he said.

Tracking vaccinations is especially difficult for students who come from out-of-state or other countries, he said.

Calcium just one of the bone builders

TUESDAY, 04.14.2015

PARENTING: IT’S A WORK IN PROGRESS

By Barbara Quinn The Monterey County Herald

“Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it,” my mom used to say. That’s why we always had plenty of food for holidays and why I still tend to over pack when I travel.

When it comes to nutrition, this wisdom could apply to the process of building strong bones.

While babies are still in the womb, calcium and other bonebuilding nutrients are mobilized to develop their skeletal structure. During childhood, bones continue to grow in size and density. Peak bone mass — when our bones achieve their genetically determined optimal size and density — occurs for most of us between the ages of 18 to 25 years.

As we get older, we begin to lose more bone than we make, says the National Osteoporosis Foundation. And this is when earlier investments in our bone bank begins to pay off. If we don’t have it when we need it, we can develop osteoporosis, or “porous bones.”

Definitely, then, the most critical time to invest in bone building and strengthening is during the younger years. As we mature, our food choices help maintain what we have.

An adequate supply of calcium and protein, for example, add strength and flexibility to our skeletal frame. And physical activity helps pump calcium into bones. A simple carton of yogurt before volleyball practice or a walk on the beach can help fortify bones, for example.

Vitamin D is essential as well.

It helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorous, the minerals that give bones their strong framework. Without adequate vitamin D — from sunshine, food or supplements — bones become thin and brittle.

Collagen, a protein that allows our bones to bend without breaking, is manufactured in the body with the help of vitamin C. Think about that next time you grab an orange or throw some strawberries on your cereal.

Other nutrients critical for building and maintaining bone mass include potassium, magnesium and zinc — found in foods such as green leafy vegetables, beans, meat, fish, nuts, and whole grains.

Got the picture? Bone building takes more than calcium. Bones need a healthy dose of nutrients from all the major food groups, including fruits, vegetables, protein and high-calcium foods.

Here are some good-for-yourbones foods: Milk, yogurt, cheese, fatty fish like sardines and salmon, fortified soy beverages (calcium, protein, vitamin D) Collard, turnip and mustard greens, kale, Chinese cabbage (bok choy), broccoli (calcium, potassium) Tomatoes, raisins, prunes, bananas, spinach, potatoes, oranges (potassium) Red and green peppers, oranges, grapefruit, broccoli, strawberries, Brussels sprouts, papaya (vitamin C) Shellfish like oysters and crab, nuts and seeds, legumes, whole grains, yogurt (magnesium, zinc) Like my mother said, Better to have it than to need it and not have it.

Personal growth and acceptance can help alleviate the anxiety and insecurity involved in parenthood THINKSTOCK

W

hen my oldest daughter was 3 years old, I had my first (pre)school conference. The teacher kindly explained to me that my daughter was “shy,” but otherwise was “no problem.”

I was stunned. My entire parental life flashed in front of my eyes. She must be shy because we moved when she was 6 months old. Perhaps I was too strict, or maybe not strict enough? What had I done to make my daughter shy? I must have done something wrong. I was wracked with self-doubt.

After a few hours and more than a few gray hairs, I recalled that I was shy as a child, too. My natural shyness didn’t ruin my life. In fact, it helped me to become more

PAUL SCHOENFELD FAMILY TALK introspective and reflective — qualities that I value.

So, I reasoned, my daughter’s shyness was not the death knell for her future. In that moment, I realized that my beautiful, magical daughter wasn’t perfect. And, I wasn’t going to be a perfect parent.

As parents, most of us are brutally critical of ourselves.

We blame ourselves for all of our kids’ shortcomings and faults. All of their strengths and resources must come from somewhere else. We are really hard on ourselves.

Often we admire other parents who seem to have “perfect” children. Those kids never seem to misbehave at the supermarket, never interrupt adults, always make their bed, and pick up all of their toys. They have perfect table manners. Their parents combine discipline and forgiveness with complete confidence. They always seem to keep their cool. Oh, and they never feel self-doubt. Ah, if only we could be like them, instead of the poor imitation of competent parents that we seem to be.

So rages the myth of the perfect parent. But we’re all in the same boat. From the first moment that our little one is born, we are filled with anxiety, insecurity and self-doubt.

We are afraid that we will not live up to our own high expectations.

How can we face the challenges of parenthood with a sense of humor and hope?

Here are some tips: Accept and honor yourself for who you are. Don’t compare yourself with other parents. Just as your child is unique, so are you. Value all of your strengths, abilities, and resources. Your challenge as a mom or dad provides the seeds for your growth as a parent.

A tree that grows shoes?

Find it near Snohomish

F

It was easy enough to find the tree blooming with dozens of pairs of discarded footwear, dangling from branches high and low. Budding like fruit were sneakers, hiking boots, oxfords, boat shoes, heels, cleats.

Yep, a genuine shoe tree.

It’s what RoadsideAmerica. com calls the greatest embodiment of the American Spirit you can find on the highway. “A shoe tree starts with one dreamer, tossing his or her footwear-ofold high into the sky, to catch on an out-of-reach branch,” the site reads. “It usually ends there, unseen and neglected by others.

But on rare occasions, that first pair of shoes triggers a shoe tossing cascade.”

That’s what happened here. A shoe deluge.

In Michigan there’s a haunted tree. Legend has it that a shoeless young boy who worked in a nearby field during the Depression lost his feet to frostbite. Before he died, he cursed the fact that such a basic necessity as shoes didn’t grow on trees. On the first year of his death, a pair appeared on a branch. Since then, every year more shoes have populated the tree. It’s said the boy’s ghost can be seen each night as the sun sets, watching over his crop of shoes.

Help is out there for the overwhelmed

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

How do I stop feeling so ... small?

I feel like I’m failing some “grownup” test, overwhelmed with the children, aging parents, sick husband, workplace stress (I think I work with a bully), too little money, too many wants, and just fatigue.

Did our parents feel like this and I just didn’t get the memo that adulthood is THIS hard? Am I solely responsible for making my life different? Where do I start that? I have this thought that I am supposed to stop bailing water long enough to find the leak, but I also think I might take the ship down if I slow down enough for that. And then I talk to other moms, wives, friends, and they have time to do things like watch TV, which sounds really blissful right now.

Well, I guess I found the time to get here, so life isn’t that draconian.

But I’m finding it hard to move right now.

— Feeling Small and Trapped Caregiving on three different fronts while also holding down a job is legitimately exhausting and scary.

Relief is out there: If your husband has a serious or chronic illness, then chances are there’s a support group and possibly respite care. There are also services available on the “aging parents” front, via eldercare.gov

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT (http://1.usa.gov/1oiTbEX). If your kids are still young enough to need constant supervision, a mother’s helper in the form of a teenage neighbor who comes over an evening or two a week, for not much money, can be worth every scarce penny.

I know you’re looking for bigger answers here, and I have some: We’re all small, in the scheme of things. And: Yes, our parents felt like this sometimes, though what overwhelmed them and how they sought relief were probably different. History and the present never want for examples of human hardship.

Hubby’s family meetings THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE leave wife out of the loop ACROSS

1 Mauna ___ (Hawaii

landmark)

Dear Abby: My husband, “Rory,” and I both come from close families. Whenever something is wrong, troublesome, etc., in either of our families, we have meetings where the entire immediate family comes together to discuss the issue.

The problem is, I am not invited to his! It’s not like I’m a recent addition to this family. Rory and I dated for 15 years before getting married. My family started inviting him to our meetings after we had dated for a year.

Rory’s family has had lots of similar meetings, but I am excluded because I am not a blood relative. Even when my husband lost his job, I was not invited to attend.

I was left sitting out in the hallway with the children and the boyfriend of one of his other siblings.

I am Rory’s WIFE. Shouldn’t I be allowed in on the family discussions now that we’re married, especially ones that center on my husband? Am I overreacting because I’m so angry about this? — Wants To Join In Dear Wants To Join In: You are not overreacting. If you haven’t done so already, discuss this with your husband. He is the one who needs to make his family understand you are now a full-fledged member of the clan. If their line of thinking is followed to its logical conclusion, then no man or woman who marries in is fully accepted. The tradition in Rory’s family creates division, and it isn’t healthy.

Dear Abby: I have a suggestion for your readers.

When you attend a funeral or a wake, or meet a friend or relative who has been recently widowed, DON’T say, “If there is anything I can do, just ask.” Call the person in the near future and invite him or her to RIP HAYWIRE

Dear Abby: The subject is email, which is how so many of us communicate nowadays. When one gets an email from a friend or relative, it seems to me only common courtesy in most cases to acknowledge it with a response, if only to say thanks.

as a Beatle, Starr will be inducted this weekend as an individual, joining John, Paul Ringo Starr and George with that distinction.

McCartney told Rolling Stone magazine recently that, when reminded Starr wasn’t in the hall on his own, he vowed to see what he could do. “I talked to Bruce Springsteen and I talked to Dave Grohl, and they both thought he should be

in. And I said I’d do the induction. That took care of it,” he said.

Rather than being nominated and voted upon by the full panel of musicians, journalists and others who choose most members, Starr was selected under a “musical excellence” category.

Only an occasional singer and lyricist with the Beatles, Starr has maintained an active recording career, particularly since getting sober in the late 1980s.

Bill Murray, Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney to be guests on David Letterman’s final shows Bill Murray was David Letterman’s first late night guest Feb. 1, 1982, and he could be the last.

Murray is one of the stars who will help bid Letterman farewell as he begins his final 28 broadcasts of “The Late Show” on CBS, the network announced Monday.

Letterman is retiring from the late night game

May 20 after 33 years. He joined CBS in 1993 after 11 years at NBC where David he was host Letterman of “Late Night.” His successor at “The Late Show,” former Comedy Central host

In addition to Murray, the lineup of guests for Letterman’s final month includes George Clooney, Robert Downey Jr., Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Tom Hanks, Jack Hanna, Scarlett Johansson, Michael Keaton, Steve Martin, Sarah Jessica Parker, Don Rickles, Julia Roberts, Ray Romano,

Legendary album of grunge subject of legal fight A legal fight is brewing over possession of the master recording tapes to one of the defining albums of grunge, “Temple of the Dog,” the sole endeavor by the supergroup of the same name whose lineup included members of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. “Temple of the Dog” was recorded in 1990 at London Bridge Studios in Seattle and became a platinum seller that brought together members of two of the city’s defining bands. The story behind the making of the album, recorded in just 15 days, has become a thing of grunge legend.

In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle recently, A&M Records, which claims it bought the album from the band in 1991, alleges a Seattle man, Rajan Parashar — co-founder of London Bridge Studios — has the master tapes and won’t turn them over.

Parashar’s attorney, Warren Rheaume of the

Seattle firm Davis Wright Tremaine, acknowledged on Friday his client has the master tapes.

“He’s had them all along,” Rheaume said, “They’re his.”

The band Temple of the Dog was founded by Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, who was joined by guitarists Mike McCready and Stone Gossard, bassist Jeff Ament, Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron and a second vocalist who had just arrived in Seattle named Eddie Vedder.

Cornell had been the roommate of Andrew Wood, the singer for the band Mother Love Bone, whose members included Gossard and Ament. After Wood died of a heroin overdose, Cornell wrote several songs about him and then recruited McCready and Gossard to join him in recording them.

Later that year, Vedder, Gossard, Ament and McCready would form Pearl Jam, which has since been joined by Cameron.

The self-titled album “Temple of the Dog” was released by A&M Records in 1991 to critical acclaim, but it did not chart, according to the history

and music-industry news.

That changed the following year, when A&M realized it was sitting on a collaboration of two of its most popular acts. The album was reissued in 1992 with a video of the single “Hunger Strike.” The album peaked at No. 5 on the U.S. Billboard 200.

According to the lawsuit, London Bridge Studio owner Rick Parashar, Rajan Parashar’s brother, initially produced Temple of the Dog on a verbal agreement with the band.

After the album’s success, the lawsuit said, they memorialized the deal in a contract signed in 1993, in which A&M alleges Rick Parashar agreed to turn over the master tapes and all rights to them for $35,000.

The Parashar brothers built the studio in 1985. Helmed by Rick’s Parashar’s production and recording services, London Bridge became the vortex for the Seattle grunge recording scene.

Rick Parashar’s credits include multiplatinum releases for Temple of the Dog, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Blind Melon and Dinosaur Jr. Rheaume said that Rajan Parashar was not

part of any agreement between his brother and A&M. Temple of the Dog recorded that one album and played only a single full concert set before its members went their own directions, although Cornell has joined Vedder and Pearl Jam several times to perform some Temple of the Dog songs.

According to the lawsuit, A&M “believed the artists to be in possession of the master recordings” until May 2013, when “a representative of the artists contacted A&M and informed A&M that (Rajan Parashar) and Rick Parashar” had them.

The lawsuit claims that Rick Parashar failed to respond to several requests by A&M’s attorneys at the Seattle law firm of K&L Gates to turn over the tapes. Rick Parashar died in August.

Eventually, the lawsuit claims, Rick Parashar’s manager said the tapes were in the possession of Rajan Parashar.

The lawsuit demands he turn the tapes over immediately, and asks the court for damages and attorneys’ fees.

Teaching seniors the fine art of how to fall safely

By Jeff Strickler Star Tribune

MINNEAPOLIS — Elliott Royce estimates that he has fallen down at least 15,000 times over the past 10 years.

Royce, who is about six weeks shy of turning 96, falls on purpose at least five times every morning.

“It’s part of my morning routine,” he said. “Just like shaving and brushing my teeth. I pull my air mattress out of the closet and practice safe falls.”

He doesn’t just practice; he preaches, too. He goes to assisted living centers, senior centers and community centers to talk about how to prevent serious injuries if you take a tumble. He offers himself as proof of how important it is for everyone — but especially seniors — to learn the technique.

“I have macular degeneration. I don’t have any depth perception,” he said.

“But I’m an outdoors guy; I can’t sit in my apartment all day because I’m afraid to leave it.”

In the past decade or so, Royce has taken “seven real falls and has never gotten hurt,” he said. “Sure, I got bruised, and I ended up with some aches and pains, but I didn’t get any broken bones.”

That’s partly because he

takes practice falls every day so that he’ll react instinctively should he lose his balance.

“Once you start to fall, you don’t have time to think about what to do,” he said. “You’re going to have about one second to figure it out, so you better have some plans.”

Lest there be any doubt, Royce is not your typical 95-year-old. “Too many seniors have given up,” he chides. Not him. For starters, he takes an hourlong trampoline class three times a week.

“He came in here 3½ years ago and said his goal was to still be on the trampoline when he turns 100,” said Pat Henderson, his coach and the owner of Minnesota Twisters in Edina, Minnesota, where the previous oldest client was 85. “I think he’s going to make it.”

Royce thinks he’s going to make it, too.

“I’ve always been an active person,” said Royce, who ran a health and beauty wholesale business until he retired in his mid-70s. “I’m not a couch potato.”

Daughter Cindy Royce confirmed that assessment.

The family has long gotten used to him announcing his next conquest.

“It’s always something,” she said. “He started playing the viola da gamba

Schoenfeld From Page B1

Be patient with yourself. As you are trying to be patient with your children, learn to be patient with yourself. Expect to make the same mistakes more than once. I know, “perfect

parents” never become frustrated, lose their temper, or find themselves in a debate with a 3-year-old. But then again we as parents and our children don’t have to be perfect. We grow up with our children. As they grow and develop, so do we.

— the baroque cello. And then he decided that he wanted to learn how to juggle. He even entered a race where you had to go a mile while juggling.”

Her father chimed in with a laugh: “I was the last one to finish, but I won my age division — because I was the only one in it.”

Even while poking fun at himself, he exudes a cando attitude.

“Show them how you can jump rope,” Henderson urged, tossing Royce a rope while he was bouncing on a trampoline. Without a second’s hesitation, he nonchalantly obliged.

“He likes a challenge,” said Cindy Royce, who is no slouch herself. In her late 50s, she takes the trampoline lessons with her dad.

In addition to being

good exercise, the trampoline training dovetails nicely with his safe-falling program. “It works his core muscles and sharpens his body awareness and control,” Henderson said.

Not to mention honing his sense of balance: “If you can learn to walk on an unsteady surface like a trampoline, you can walk on anything,” Royce said.

But one of the trampoline’s biggest payoffs is that it got him used to falling.

“It’s the fear of falling that makes people stick out their arms to try to catch themselves, and that’s what causes the broken wrists and arms,” he said. “The more you fall, the more you overcome the fear of falling.”

Three things to remember: “The secret to falling safely is three words: bend,

twist, roll,” he said.

As you start to fall, bend your knees in the direction you are falling and twist at the waist, turning your shoulders away from the fall. That will change the point of impact. Instead of one spot on your hip taking the entire brunt of the fall, the force will be spread out along the length of your leg, thigh and pelvis. When you hit the ground, roll to further dissipate the force of the impact.

That’s what he practices each morning by standing next to an air mattress and falling onto it. He advises beginners to start from their knees until they’re comfortable with the “roll” part of the procedure. It also will help them regain comfort with being on the floor.

“Most seniors haven’t been on the floor for 10 years,” he said. “Seniors think the floor is scary. It’s not. Watch kids; they sit on the floor all the time. And our forefathers used to sit on the ground.”

Royce isn’t the only one who thinks that learning how to fall safely is important. A recent demonstration he gave at an area Jewish community center drew about 125 seniors. Lyudmyla Petrenko, director of the JCC’s Active Adults program that hosted his visit, was excited about his presentation.

Be forgiving of yourself. It always amazed me how forgiving my children were of my foibles. Sure, they got mad at me. But a couple of hours later, all was forgiven. Moms and dads are quick to forgive their children too. Extend that spirit of forgiveness to yourself.

Work on your own growth as a person. If you

want your children to be calm, you have to be calm.

If you don’t want your children to lose their temper, you must learn to control yours. Children learn from watching you, not from listening to you. Be the person that you want them to be.

Keep your sense of humor. Kids are funny.

They say and do the darnedest things. But it’s

equally as important to laugh at some of the silly things that we do, too. Don’t take yourself too seriously.

Celebrate the small victories. The ultimate goal of parenting is to see your children grow into mature, responsible independent adults. It’s hard to know if you are doing the “right thing” until years later. Whenever things are

ELIZABETH FLORES / MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE

Elliott Royce, 95, takes trampoline lessons at Minnesota Twisters in Edina, Minnesota. Royce estimates that he has fallen down at least 15,000 times to teach people — primarily seniors — how to fall safely.

“The reality is that seniors will fall,” she said.

“We want them to be prepared for it.”

Falls account for 20 percent of hospital visits by seniors and 40 percent of the nursing home admissions. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, falls are the leading cause of injury among people 65 and older. Those injuries include broken bones (hips, arms, legs, hands and spines), as well as being the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries in seniors.

Royce became aware of these statistics when he moved into a senior living facility 10 years ago.

“I learned right away that people fall in a senior home, and then the 911 truck has to come help pick them up,” he said. “I figured, as long as I’m going to fall, why not learn how not to get hurt?”

He searched the Internet for a class on falling but couldn’t find one. “Everyone’s afraid of getting sued,” he said. “As soon as you mention falling, lawyers come running.”

He eventually stumbled on a gymnastics school in Hawaii that offered a weeklong class covering various aspects of tumbling, including how to fall without getting hurt.

going well and you see the fruits of your loving labor, celebrate.

You earned it.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Put your dreams first and your path to success will open. It’s important not to neglect the ones you love or avoid your professional responsibilities.

Incorporating greater organization into your routine and including the ones you love in your plans will help you reach your destination with ease. Your numbers are 4, 10, 16, 24, 26, 32, 45.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Someone who is jealous or ruthless will try to outsmart you. Don’t be a follower — it’s up to you to size up situations and find solutions.

Trust your judgment and get things done. ���� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll receive mixed messages. Don’t get involved in a debate or a physical confrontation if you aren’t prepared to finish what you start. A loss of respect will result if a personal secret is revealed. �� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t limit the possibilities because you don’t want to express your true feelings. Say whatever is on your mind and offer suggestions that can help turn your ideas into a reality. Believe in yourself and forge ahead. ����� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t feel the need to donate or help others when it’s your own wellness that should concern you. Get informed and strive to make positive lifestyle changes. ��� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Make changes to your surroundings or search for information that will contribute to your advancement. You can win favors and points if you make good use of your talents. ���

M’s fall to Dodgers 6-5 in 10

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

LOS ANGELES — A four-run lead wasn’t enough Monday night for James Paxton and the Seattle Mariners. Heck, four homers of firepower wasn’t enough.

Paxton squandered that support before the Los Angeles Dodgers completed their comeback when Alex Guerrero delivered a walk-off single

for a 6-5 victory in 10 innings at Dodger Stadium.

Andre Ethier started the winning rally with a leadoff double into the right-center gap against Dominic Leone, who had worked two scoreless innings after being recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A Tacoma.

Leone handled Yasiel Puig’s hopper for the first out and held Ethier at second. Next came an intentional walk to Adrian

Gonzalez, who was picked earlier in the day as the National League player of the week.

An unintentional walk to Howie Kendrick loaded the bases with one out.

The Mariners realigned at that point with a double switch: Tyler Olson replaced Leone, while Austin Jackson replaced Justin Ruggiano in center field.

Olson struck out Carl Crawford, but Guerrero punched a single into right center.

The Mariners built leads of 4-0 and 5-2 on two homers by

Nelson Cruz and one each from Kyle Seager and Dustin Ackley against Dodgers starter Brandon McCarthy.

But L.A. rallied by scoring three runs in the fourth inning and two more in the fifth against Paxton before walking off their victory against Olson.

Arlington’s Faux wins rain-shortened Tom Dolan Memorial Invitational

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

EVERETT — After a season of mediocre golf a year ago, Austin Faux of Arlington High School dedicated the summer to improving his game.

With some lessons and a lot of practicing, Faux dropped a 24 handicap to a 5 in a matter of months. And on Monday afternoon, he used his newfound prowess to finish first in the rainshorted Tom Dolan Memorial Invitational at Everett Golf and Country Club.

Faux, a junior, finished at 1-under-par for nine holes, one stroke better than Trevor Frisby

of Meadowdale and Alex Park of St. George’s School in Vancouver, B.C. With the tournament using a shotgun start, each group played a different set of nine holes, so final placings were based on scores relative to par.

With 24 schools represented, and with scoring determined by the top four players of each squad, Snohomish won the team title with a cumulative 11-over total. Second place went to St. George’s School at 13 over, and Archbishop Murphy and Lake Stevens tied for third at 24 over.

EVERETT — The Everett Silvertips and Portland Winterhawks are in the midst of the interminable wait.

Everett and Portland are taking an unusual break from their playoff series as they wait out the long break between Games 2 and 3.

“I think it’s nice,” Everett overage winger Brayden Low said. “It was a pretty quick turnaround from Spokane (in the first round of the playoffs) to Portland. It gives guys a chance to rest their bodies, get some injuries taken care of, and we’ll be fresh come Thursday.”

The first two games of the series were played at Everett’s Xfinity Arena, with the most recent contest being Saturday’s Game 2, which Portland won 4-3 in overtime to tie the best-of-seven series at one game apiece.

Usually after Game 2 a series will take a day or two off before resuming at the lower-seed’s home for Games 3 and 4. But Portland, of all teams, had issues with building availability.

Portland is the only team in the WHL with two home buildings.

When available, the Winterhawks play home games at the Moda Center, the home of the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers. When the Moda Center is unavailable, the See TIPS, Page C2

Dream come true for father and son Greg and David Lynn are the golf coaches at Oklahoma Christian University

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

In his retirement, Greg Lynn had the idea of spending more time with his family while finding a hobby or pastime that would be both fulfilling and fun.

It was a great idea, and the 66-year-old Lynn found a great way to make it happen.

After selling his Everett

millwork company in 2000, Lynn moved with his wife, Laurel, to Edmond, Oklahoma, to be near their son David, the men’s golf coach at Oklahoma Christian University. An avid golfer himself, Greg Lynn was soon hanging out with his son and the golfers on the team.

Before long David Lynn hired his dad as an assistant coach and then, four years ago, as head

Many NBA playoff seeds still up for grabs

By Brett Martelap Associated Press

With just two days left in the NBA’s regular season, the playoffs virtually have already begun for a handful of teams.

Meanwhile, some of the league’s elite are jockeying not only for top seeds, which decide matchups, but also for the right to host playoff games. Home-court advantage is determined solely by record, not by seeding or if teams win their divisions.

In the Western Conference, Anthony Davis and the resilient Pelicans are tantalizingly close to edging out injury-plagued Oklahoma City for the conference’s eighth and final playoff position. It would be New Orleans’ first postseason appearance since coach Monty Williams’ first season in 2010-11, when he had Chris Paul and David West.

Since then, the Pelicans have completely overhauled their roster to build around Davis, their All-Star forward who was the first

overall draft pick in 2012.

At 44-37 entering Tuesday, New Orleans already has its first winning record in four seasons.

“One of our goals this year was to have a winning record. A goal that’s out there — we all want it badly — is to make the playoffs,” Williams said recently. “So we have a chance to do both. I’d say we’ve come a long way.”

In the East, Boston, under second-year coach Brad Stevens, was assured a playoff spot when Chicago beat Brooklyn. The Nets still have a chance to edge out Indiana and Miami for the eighth seed.

At the top of the standings, teams that qualified for the postseason weeks ago still have plenty at stake. San Antonio, Houston, Memphis and the Los Angeles Clippers all entered Monday within one game of each other as they battle for the second-best record in the West behind Golden State, which would guarantee one of them home-court advantage at least through the first two rounds.

Here’s a look at some of the

playoff possibilities to be sorted out by Wednesday.

PELICANS-THUNDER: Thanks in no small part to Davis’ winning, fall-away 3 as time expired in Oklahoma City earlier this season, the Pelicans hold the tiebreaker after winning three of four games against the Thunder. With both winning Monday night they have identical records with one game left. So, the West’s last spot will hinge on the results Wednesday of San Antonio at New Orleans and Oklahoma City at Minnesota — with the Spurs possibly looking to lock up the second seed.

“It’s a great San Antonio team.

We know that we can beat them.

We have done so in the past,” Davis said on the Pelicans’ Fox Sports New Orleans broadcast Monday night. “It’s going to be a tough game and we’re just excited knowing we control our own destiny.”

BOSTON’S BACK: Boston, which missed the playoffs a season ago, currently holds the seventh seed. With Brooklyn’s loss Monday, the worst the Celtics can finish

is eighth, but only if they lose their last two games and Indiana wins its last two.

HEAT’S HOPE: At 36-45 after a victory Monday night over Orlando, Miami is still alive, but needs to win its last game, and needs Brooklyn to lose again and Indiana to lose its last two.

Indiana hosts Washington on Tuesday night and visits Memphis on Wednesday. Brooklyn finishes at home against Orlando on Wednesday, when Miami closes at Philadelphia.

WEST’S BEST: Because division winners can be seeded no worse than fourth, that’s where Portland (51-30) will end up. And though the Trail Blazers won the Northwest Division, they’ll open the playoffs on the road. San Antonio, Houston and Memphis were all in contention for the Southwest Division crown. Those three teams, along with the Clippers, all will finish with better records than Portland. The Spurs and Rockets are 55-26, while the Clippers and Grizzlies were 54-26 entering Monday.

Marysville-Pilchuck’s Tony Preston celebrates a good drive on the 1st hole during the 14th Annual Tom Dolan Memorial Invitational Monday afternoon.

Dolan From Page C1

“and on the first tee I was really nervous,” he admitted. His mishit his second shot from the fairway of the long par 4, but recovered to drop his third shot from 150 yards just 2 feet from the pin for a par-saving tap-in putt.

He also parred No. 5 and then got his sole birdie on the sixth hole, a par 5. After a booming drive, Faux left his second shot just short of the green, and flopped a chip that trickled down a slope on the putting surface to about 5 feet from the flag. He sank the putt to drop to 1-under par and then had pars over the remaining six holes for his first tournament victory.

Faux shot in the 90s for two rounds of last year’s district tournament, closing a season when

Tips From Page C1

Winterhawks cross the street to play at Memorial Coliseum.

However, country music star Garth Brooks is occupying the Moda Center all week, playing five concerts between Sunday and Thursday. Meanwhile, the Craft Brewers Conference is taking place at Memorial Coliseum on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Therefore, the Tips and Winterhawks have four full days off before the series resumes Thursday at Memorial Coliseum.

“I don’t think it really makes any difference,” was Everett coach Kevin Constantine’s reaction to the long break. “It’s nice to get rested up, but they’ve had the exact same schedule as us,

“I really wasn’t very good,” he said. “But I’m hoping this year that I can make my mark and next year I can do it as well, and then maybe I can get into a college for golf.”

Snohomish finished with four players in the top nine (plus ties) to claim the team title. The Panthers were led by Ben Gardner and Ethan Casto both at 2 over, Luke Kuna at 3 over, and Keegan Willis at 4 over.

“For the conditions and the weather, I was pleased with our consistency,” said Snohomish coach Joey Mutcheson. Given the region’s sporadic spring weather, “that’s part of the preparation for high school golf in Washington,” he added. “We try to work on that, and I thought the kids did really well.”

This was the 14th annual Dolan Invitational and the first time the tournament has been shortened by bad weather, though one was rescheduled

due to rain a few years ago. It was hoped the field would get in a full 18 holes on Monday, but an early drizzle turned into a steady downpour midway through the round, prompting the event to be ended early.

“It was coming down pretty good,” Mutcheson said. “The greens had really started to puddle up in areas.”

Monday’s weather aside, he added, “this is a great event that Everett Golf and Country Club puts on. All the high school kids look forward to it. It’s just a really well-run tournament, and we appreciate Everett (G&CC) putting it on and the members there supporting it.”

so it’s nice for them to get rested up. It’s just the schedule, I don’t think it means much.”

The time off may serve as a welcome respite for both teams. Both went six games in the first round, finishing last Tuesday with overtime victories, meaning there was little off time between series.

Everett has played four overtime games in the playoffs already, including three that required multiple overtimes, so the Tips have an opportunity to recover from that. Meanwhile, Portland stars Oliver Bjorkstrand and Nicolas Petan, who log a lot of minutes, get a chance to recharge.

Everett also has injury issues that may be helped by the break.

Defenseman Noah Juulsen and winger Dawson Leedahl both missed the first two games of the series because of injuries. It’s possible one or both will be able to return at some point in the

series. The long break increases the odds they’ll recover in time for Game 3.

“Both teams have had a bit of a grind, so I don’t think it’s an advantage to either team,” Constantine said.

“It might (help with injuries), but we don’t know if we’re getting any of those guys back,” Constantine added.

Constantine also didn’t think the long break would disrupt the flow of the series.

“The regular season ended and we had a whole week (before the first-round series against Spokane began),” Constantine said. “Did that disrupt the series? I don’t think so. It’s a slightly longer break than most, but I don’t think it means much.”

The other consequence of the long break is that it condenses the back end of the series. If the series ends up going the

distance, Everett and Portland will play the final five games over a seven-day stretch. The winner of the series would then likely have just one day off before the Western Conference championship series begins.

“It’s not our main focus,” Low said about the potential crammed schedule. “We’re aware of it, but we’re not hoping for it to go seven, we want to get the job done. If it requires seven fatigue might be a little bit of a factor, but we’re up to the challenge.”

Therefore, the Tips and the Winterhawks are going to take full advantage and rest up now.

It may be their last chance to catch their breath for a while.

‘She’s bringing out the best in us’ Freshman McKenzie Schulz has helped the Monroe softball team to an 8-0 start

By Aaron Lommers

By the numbers

Herald Writer

Before the high school softball season began, Jordan Birch, the daughter of Monroe head coach Mike Birch and the personal pitching coach for freshman McKenzie Schulz, let her dad in on a little secret.

“The first thing she said to me was, ‘Mac’s legit,’” Mike Birch said. “She said, ‘You’re going to enjoy calling pitches for Mac.’ And I do.”

And with good reason.

Schulz has started six of Monroe’s eight games and is 6-0. At 8-0, the Bearcats are the only undefeated team in Wesco 4A. At 3-0 in conference play, they’re tied with Jackson for first place.

With Schulz making her debut on varsity this season, and a promising group of hitters returning from last year’s team that was just a game away from reaching the Class 4A state tournament, Mike Birch expected success — but even he admits he didn’t expect Monroe to be undefeated midway through the season.

“I knew we had something pretty special this year and it could be even more (special) somewhere down the road, so I knew we would have a pretty good record at this point of the season,” Birch said. “Being undefeated, I didn’t expect that, because I knew we were playing some really good teams.”

Credit for the Bearcats’ success can certainly be spread throughout the team, but Schulz has played one of the bigger roles. With a fastball in the mid-60s and pinpoint control, opponents have had trouble hitting her all season. “(She’s) a power pitcher with a solid rise-ball and really good location,” Snohomish head coach Lou Kennedy said. “If you start to take away the outside on her, she’s more than willing to come inside and bust you in. It’s pretty impressive stuff.”

Kennedy’s Panthers face the Bearcats for the first time this season on Wednesday, but he’s had the chance to see her pitch earlier this season — in a win over Lake Stevens — and a few times during the summer.

Lake Stevens head coach Sarah Hirsch got a heavy dose of Schulz in the meeting between the two teams on March 31. Schulz pitched a complete game, allowing five hits and striking out five in a 7-1 victory. Through five innings, Schulz had allowed just one hit and three base runners.

IAN TERRY / THE HERALD

Monroe freshman pitcher McKenzie Schulz is 6-0 this season for the undefeated Bearcats.

On top of her speed and accuracy, Hirsch said Schulz has another weapon.

“She’s left-handed,” Hirsch said. “It’s just a different look. ... She throws the ball hard and she’s left-handed, so she’s got double the advantage on us. She’s going to be tough for the next four years, that’s for sure.”

Hirsch is better qualified than most to speak on the advantages of having a left-handed pitcher — freshman lefty Sara Johnson has helped the Vikings to a 3-1 conference record, just behind the Bearcats and Timberwolves in the standings.

Schulz and Johnson pitched against each other in that March 31 meeting, likely the first of many matchups between the two in their prep careers.

Schulz was able to help prepare her teammates for what they faced the first time around.

“I kind of helped my team out a little bit because she’s a lefty and I kind of knew how lefties work and I was able to give them some advice,” Schulz said. “I’ve actually played with Sara a little bit (in select softball) and she’s a good pitcher and she’s got a lot of good curveballs and she’s just good with her movement.

“I thought we attacked it well.”

Mike Birch agreed with Hirsch that being lefthanded gives Schulz an edge.

“You just don’t see many of them,” he said.

“It’s just a whole different visual for the batter to see that coming from the other side. It’s taking me a while to get used to calling pitches because everything is reversed. On a right-handed batter she’s got a curveball that’s just devastating. It just breaks in on them on the right side.”

Lake Stevens’ limited offensive success against Schulz came in the later innings, something Birch said has been common throughout the season.

“That third time through (the batting order) the hitters are starting to make some adjustments,” Birch said. “The games where she’s thrown a complete game, the hits that they’ve gotten off her have been that third time through the order.”

But a few hits haven’t fazed the freshman.

Every time she’s faced adversity so far this season, she’s responded.

“It kind of blows people away,” senior second baseman Bailee Senner said. “We’ve got a freshman coming in and pitching. We’re three or four years apart, the seniors from the freshman, and she’s blowing all the seniors away. It’s incredible.”

Senior outfielder Peyton Larson said Schulz has more than earned the respect of her teammates.

“From what I heard of her, I was like, ‘All right, we’ve got a big shot coming in,’” Larson said.

“She’s really proven herself. I really didn’t know what to expect, but right now, I’m expecting huge, big things for us. She’s really holding the team together and I think she’s bringing out the best in us.”

Illinois group says concussions lawsuit ‘threatens’ football

By Michael Tarm Associated Press

CHICAGO — The nation’s first prep sports governing body to face a class-action concussions lawsuit has asked an Illinois judge to dismiss the suit, arguing that if it prevails, it could kill football programs statewide.

In its 16-page motion filed in Cook County Circuit Court, the Illinois High School Association, or IHSA, says it and its 800 member schools have been proactive about improving head-injury management for the 50,000 football players they oversee each

year.

The motion calls the suit “a misguided effort that threatens high school football.”

The filing is the first full response to the lawsuit — filed in November and slightly amended in January — that seeks court supervision over how high schools manage head injuries. The IHSA filed the response late Friday and provided a copy to The Associated Press.

The filing echoes IHSA Director Marty Hickman’s previous comments that court-imposed mandates could make football prohibitively expensive for poorer

schools, especially Chicago’s public high schools, and lead to “haves and have nots” in the sport.

Plaintiff attorney Joseph Siprut has said improving safety should help football survive, not lead to its demise. He said football is already in jeopardy because parents fearful of concussions are refusing to let their kids play, potentially drying up the talent pool.

Siprut, a Chicago-based lawyer, texted a brief comment Monday saying he looked forward to answering the IHSA arguments and to one day “working with the IHSA to craft a solution to the challenges posed by concussions.”

College and professional football have faced a barrage of class-action lawsuits in recent years. But the one that names the IHSA as defendant is the first of its kind against a high school football governing body. Each of the 50 states has its own governing body.

The IHSA’s new filing says it can’t be compared to the cashrich NCAA and NFL. The IHSA has $10 million in yearly revenue to pay for more than 40 sports and activities statewide, and courtimposed mandates could be financially crippling, it argues.

The suit doesn’t ask for monetary damages. In addition to

court oversight, however, it seeks requirements that medical personnel be at all games and practices. It also calls for the IHSA to pay for medical testing of former high school players extending back to 2002.

The IHSA filing says having a court-administered high school head-injury policy — rather than leaving it to the IHSA, school boards and state legislators — would be unwieldy. It questions how a judge would act as enforcer if a school fails to have a physician at a practice.

A status hearing in the case is set for April 23.

Inexperienced UW offensive line to learn on the fly

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — There was great benefit, Jake Eldrenkamp says, to playing the same position as former Washington Huskies left tackle Micah Hatchie.

Eldrenkamp’s first season at UW was 2012, which is when Hatchie took over as UW’s starting left tackle. He never relinquished the position, starting every game that season, then again in 2013, then again as a fifth-year senior in 2014.

“To be able to play behind him, watch him, (and) have him be my mentor,” Eldrenkamp said, “was unparalleled.”

But it also meant that Eldrenkamp, a Bellevue High

product, didn’t get to play a whole lot.

That is likely about to change.

Washington’s new-look offensive line, which lost four of the five players who comprised the starting lineup when last season ended, will rely heavily this season upon Eldrenkamp and similarly inexperienced players.

UW coach Chris Petersen will remind, constantly, that there is no depth chart this time of year – just a “seating chart,” as he calls it. But Eldrenkamp has been at left tackle with the No. 1 offensive line throughout the spring, and seems the natural successor to Hatchie after serving as his backup all of last season.

The four guys lining up to his right might not look

familiar, either, because what little returning experience the Huskies do have is usually unavailable. Dexter Charles, whose 30 career starts make him by far the most experienced lineman on the team, has been leaving each practice early to attend class. Coleman Shelton, a third-year sophomore who started seven games at right tackle last season, is currently resting his arm in a sling and likely won’t practice this spring.

“It’s a different culture,” Eldrenkamp said. “Obviously we lost seven offensive linemen, so (we have) a lot of young guys. A lot of guys have played, though, so we know what it takes. The older guys have just got to bring the younger guys along.”

UW’s first-team offensive line (right now, anyway) typically features Eldrenkamp, Dane Crane (zero career starts) at left guard, Shane Brostek (zero career starts) at right guard and Matt James, a redshirt freshman, at right tackle. Andrew Kirkland, a third-year sophomore, has spent time at right tackle, too.

At center is Siosifa Tufunga, who played more last season than anyone in that group … but he played exclusively at guard, where he started UW’s final five games, so even he is adjusting to a different role.

Tufunga, a fifth-year senior from Long Beach, California, said he played some center earlier in his career, under the previous coaching staff, so the position is not

entirely foreign to him.

It’s just going to take some getting used to.

“It’s a lot harder, because I’ve got a ball now in my hand,” Tufunga said after Monday’s practice at Husky Stadium. “It’s all mental stuff.

Just make sure the ball is getting to the quarterback on point and just getting calls down so everyone is on the same page.”

Fourth-year junior Jeff Lindquist, one of three quarterbacks vying for the starting job, said Tufunga seems to be adjusting to his new snapping duties just fine.

“Even though he hasn’t been playing center, per se, we’ve been around him quite a bit,” Lindquist said.

“So he’s pretty comfortable “He works hard. Any little

mistake or error that he has that day, it won’t be there the next day.”

Petersen said he evaluates players like Eldrenkamp and Tufunga, who have a decent chunk of game repetitions, differently than he evaluates younger players who might not have actually played yet, saying that “for some of the young guys, it’s just like, are you heading to the right guy? And you can see that very rapidly.”

Considering what UW must replace, rapid growth will be required.

“There’s just a lot going on with a lot of new, young guys,” Petersen said. “And so we’re getting close. At times it doesn’t look like it, but you put the tape on, and you’re going, ‘oh, we’re closer than we think they are.’”

MARINERS | Update

Ackley starts in center field against Dodgers Didn’t see this coming, did you? Dustin Ackley started Monday in center field for the Mariners for the first time since the final game of the 2013 season.

“I’m sure he can find his way out there,” McClendon said. “If there’s a fly ball hit to him, he’ll catch the ball.”

Ackley also served as the club’s leadoff hitter for the first time since last July 31.

Austin Jackson went to the bench.

“Austin is just getting a day off,” McClendon said. “I said before that I’ve got to watch him and make sure he’s rested throughout the year and strategically give him days off when I think he needs them.”

McClendon said he opted for Ackley over Justin Ruggiano as a replacement for Jackson in center field because the Mariners were facing a right-handed pitcher in Brandon McCarthy.

Chalk it up to interleague play, where the Mariners lose the designated hitter in road games against National League clubs.

“I’ve played there before,” Ackley said, “and it should be not too bad. I’m only a year removed from playing there a lot.

In spring, I messed around over there occasionally (in batting practice).

“I feel center is one of those places where if you play left or right, center is a little bit easier. You get to track the ball.

You get the good reads off the bat. I think it’ll be a smooth transition.”

Saving time

Yoervis Medina recorded his second career save Sunday with a scoreless 10th inning in an 8-7 victory at Oakland.

He picked up Fernando Rodney, who blew a four-run lead in the ninth inning after securing his second save of the season Saturday with a scoreless 11th inning in a 5-4 victory over the A’s.

Extra points if you can name the pitcher who saved both games the last time the Mariners won back-to-back games on the road in extra innings: Sept.

4-5, 1984 at Texas.

It was left-hander Dave Geisel, who recorded just one other save while pitching for the Mariners in 1984-85.

Looking back

It was three years ago Tuesday April 14, 2012 — that right-hander Hector Noesi became the second Mariner in history to pitch eight shutout innings in his first game at Safeco Field.

Noesi limited Oakland to five hits while striking out six and walking one before Brandon League closed out a 4-0 victory over Oakland.

The first Mariner to pitch eight shutout innings in his Safeco debut? Felix Hernandez on Aug. 9, 2005 in a 1-0 victory over Minnesota. That was Hernandez’s second career start and first career victory.

Short hops

Nelson Cruz’s two home runs increased his career total to 201, giving him four in three days. Both of his homers in Oakland on Saturday and Sunday gave the Mariners the lead. A year ago, when he led the majors with 40 homers while playing for Baltimore, 14 of his homers put the Orioles in front. ... Hernandez reported no additional day-after problems with the soreness in his right quadriceps muscle, which forced him to leave Sunday’s game against Oakland after five innings.

On tap

The Mariners and Dodgers continue their three-game series at 7:10 p.m.

Rockies move Hawkins out of closer role for now Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — LaTroy Hawkins is being moved out of Colorado’s closer role for now, though manager Walt Weiss isn’t ruling out the right-hander returning to ninth-inning duties.

Weiss spoke with Hawkins on Monday and called it a “breather” for the 42-year-old, who is planning to retire after this season.

“We’ll do that for the time being,” Weiss said.

Hawkins blew a save in a 6-5 loss to the Cubs on Sunday at Coors Field, surrendering a tworun homer to former Rockies player Dexter Fowler with two outs in the ninth.

BEN MARGOT / ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Mariners’ Tom Wilhelmsen, speaking with catcher Mike Zunino during Friday’s game in Oakland, hyperextended his elbow in a pre-game workout on Saturday. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list.

Wilhelmsen goes on DL

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

LOS ANGELES — About a week. For the second straight year, that’s how long it took for the Mariners to summon reliever Dominic Leone from Triple-A Tacoma.

Leone, 23, returned to the big leagues prior to Monday’s series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers after the Mariners placed Tom Wilhelmsen on the 15-day disabled list because of a hyperextended elbow.

“It’s never a fun callup,” Leone said. “I’m excited to be here, and it’s good to be back.

I’m interested to see how this whole stint goes, but I feel for Tom.” The move comes after Mariners stretched their bullpen over the weekend at Oakland in a 12-0 loss and two extrainning victories. Manager Lloyd McClendon said: “The bullpen’s a mess.”

McClendon said he hoped not to use Fernando Rodney,

Yoervis Medina or Danny Farquhar in Monday’s game at Dodger Stadium.

Wilhelmsen pitched 12⁄3 innings in Friday’s loss before suffering his injury Saturday in a pre-game workout. His time on the disabled list is backdated to Saturday.

“I got up to stretch a little bit,” Wilhelmsen said, “and it was just bad timing. Danny (Farquhar) ran by me, (made contract) and I hyperextended my arm a little bit.”

Wilhelmsen said he didn’t believe the injury was serious.

“I’m expecting to throw sometime later in the week,” he said. “So pretty minor. But we need some help, so (the disabled list) is the right move.”

Leone supplies the relief corps with a fresh arm. He pitched one scoreless inning last Friday in his only appearance at Tacoma following a late-spring demotion to the minors.

“I’m in line to be ready to go tonight and the rest of the series,” he said. “However long I’m here.”

The Mariners optioned Leone to the Rainiers on April 3 after a series of poor spring performances. It marked a reversal in thinking because the club then recalled Carson Smith, who had previously been sent to Tacoma.

“It’s never a fun thing,” Leone said, “and it really kind of got to me. It took me a day or two to readjust and say, ‘All right, this is the writing on the wall for the start of the season. Now, you’ve just got to get back to work.’”

Leone also opened last season, officially, at Tacoma but never pitched for the Rainiers before getting an April 4 summons to the Mariners. He then put together a strong season in going 8-2 with a 2.17 ERA in 57 games.

“That’s part of the depth we talked about in spring training,” McClendon said. “It’s always tough to send guys out, but one thing we impress upon them is we never end up with what we start with.

“There are always injuries, and you’re going to need help.”

Dodgers starter McCarthy gave up four homers but only two other hits in seven innings while striking out 10.

He didn’t walk anyone and got a no-decision.

Yimi Garcia got the victory after pitching a scoreless 10th inning.

Paxton ended up with a nodecision when he exited after opening the seventh inning by striking out pinch-hitter Jimmy Rollins. Paxton gave up five runs and six hits while walking two and striking out six.

Carson Smith got one out but departed after Puig’s two-out single because the Mariners preferred Charlie Furbush for a left-on-left matchup against Gonzalez.

Furbush won that battle.

Leone then took over in the eighth.

The Mariners struck early.

After Robinson Cano broke a 0-for-13 skid with a two-out single in the first inning, Cruz followed with a slicing drive to right for his third homer in three days.

It was also the 200th homer of Cruz’s career and provided Paxton with two runs more than he received in his first start of the season — a 2-0 loss to the Angels on April 7 at Safeco Field.

Logan Morrison opened the Mariners’ second with a slicing single to left and tried to stretch it into a double. Scott Van Slyke made a terrific throw from the corner for an easy out.

MARK J. TERRILL / ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Mariners’ Nelson Cruz hit two home runs, giving him four in his past three games.

Van Slyke is the son of Mariners outfield coach Andy Van Slyke, a five-time Gold Glove recipient.

It stayed 2-0 until Cruz’s next at-bat, when he went opposite field again with by clearing the wall in right-center field. No. 4 and No. 201. Three homers in three straight at-bats. And it was 3-0.

But not for long.

Two pitches later, Seager crushed a fastball for a no-doubt homer to right field.

It was 4-0. Seager’s homer was his second of the year.

The Dodgers didn’t get their first hit against Paxton until Puig led off the fourth with a single to right. Gonzalez erased Puig on a force at second before Kendrick drove a double into the right-center gap.

Kendrick’s drive landed just beyond Ackley, who was playing center for the first time

since the end of the 2013 season because manager Lloyd McClendon chose to rest Austin Jackson.

A walk to Van Slyke loaded the bases for Alex Guerrero, who delivered a sacrifice fly to deep right that moved the other runners to second and third when the Mariners left second base uncovered.

That lapse proved costly because Joc Pederson’s single to left drove in two runs instead of one before Paxton ended the inning. The lead was down to 4-3.

Ackley got one run back with a two-out homer in the fifth.

His third of the season. But Puig countered with two-out homer in the Dodgers’ fifth. So 5-4.

Paxton then surrendered a loud double to Gonzalez, and then surrendered the lead when Kendrick pushed an RBI single into right field. The lead was gone.

Angels’ Scioscia hopes to meet with Hamilton Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas — Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia is hoping to see Josh Hamilton when the team travels later this week to Houston, where the slugger is rehabbing from right shoulder surgery after his self-reported relapse into substance abuse.

Scioscia said Monday that he would like to visit face-to-face with Hamilton to “see where everything is.” While calling some aspects of the uncertain situation “very frustrating,” the manager said the overwhelming feeling right now is concern for Hamilton.

“It just seems like as you try to get more clarity, it seems like it’s getting foggier and foggier,” Scioscia said. “So we’ll see where this is and where this leads and just where Josh is. But first and foremost, we hope Josh is getting the help and support that he needs.”

The Angels have a day off in Houston on Thursday before opening a three-game series against the Astros on Friday.

Angels owner Arte Moreno indicated last Friday before his team’s home opener that Hamilton might not play for Los Angeles again. Hamilton is still owed $83 million through the 2017 season.

Major League Baseball will not discipline Hamilton for his selfreported relapse after a ruling earlier this month by an arbitrator appointed under MLB’s joint drug program with the players’ association.

The Angels reacted angrily to that decision before the season opened, with President John Carpino saying the ruling “defies logic.”

Scioscia made his comments before the Angels opened a threegame series against the Texas Rangers, the team for which Hamilton was the 2010 AL MVP. Hamilton was an All-Star in each of his five seasons (2008-12) in Texas before going to the AL West rival in free agency with a $125 million, five-year deal.

In two injury-plagued seasons with the Angels, Hamilton has 31 homers and 123 RBI. He turns 34 next month.

so close,” said Greg Lynn, a 1966 graduate of Everett High School. “I was the best man at his wedding, that’s how close we’ve been. He’s my first phone call every day and I’m his.

We’ve gone past father and son, past friendship.

The relationship is sort of a blend of all those things, and I almost get goose bumps telling you about it.”

“My dad has always been pretty much my best friend,” agreed David Lynn, a 1991 graduate of Mukilteo’s Mariner High School.

Greg Lynn got his start in golf as a teenager growing up in Everett. A three-year football letterman, he also lettered in track as a sophomore, but then decided to take up golf in the spring of his junior year. He lettered as a senior and continued to play as an adult, often at Everett Golf and Country Club where he had a membership.

The funny thing is, Greg Lynn is playing better golf today than ever before. A scratch golfer, he has twice shot his age with rounds of 64 and 66, and in 2012 he played in the United States Senior Amateur.

“All my golfing buddies from Everett have got worse as they’ve got older, but I got better later on,” he said. “It’s kind of a strange deal to develop that late,

but I did.”

But as much as he enjoys playing, he gets a similar joy from coaching. Working with athletes young enough to be his granddaughters, he has guided this year’s team to two firsts and five seconds in 10 tournaments going back to the fall season.

To win in women’s golf, Greg Lynn said, “you’d think all you’d need is good players. But what I’ve come to learn is that there’s a team chemistry that has to happen. It takes all the girls caring about each other, rooting for each other and supporting each other.

Because if the chemistry’s not there, it doesn’t happen.”

It is, he added, a difference between coaching men and women. “Guys have to play good to feel good,” he explained. “But girls have to feel good to play good.”

David Lynn, meanwhile, was a standout athlete for three years at Mariner, winning eight varsity letters in five different sports (tennis, cross country, basketball, track and field, and golf). He lettered in track and field for four years at Oklahoma Christian, and then stayed in Edmond after graduation, first as an assistant track coach at the school before becoming the head men’s golf coach in 1998. Today he is also the director of golf and an associate athletic director.

Being able to coach college golf “is really special

for me,” David Lynn said.

“Most people work their whole lives to be able to retire and do what I get to do every day. I love golf, and for the most part my job never feels like a job.

I get to be around young people, to mentor them, and to watch them improve their lives athletically, academically and spiritually.

“It’s an absolute joy for me to do that on a daily basis and to do it through golf. I couldn’t imagine anything better to do for a living,” he said.

Because David Lynn is also a scratch golfer, the two men enjoy a spirited game from time to time.

For all their affection, “we’re both very competitive and we’re both trying to beat each other’s brains in,” he said. “We’ll have a friendly wager, like lunch or a Coke, when we go play ... and then he’ll brag to my son if he beats me.”

In their coaching, he added, “we definitely can have arguments. But the thing he taught me is that no single idea or argument is more important than the relationship and the overall goal.”

Indeed, despite the occasional disagreements David and Greg Lynn agree they are blessed to be coaching golf and to be doing it together.

“Overall it’s been fantastic,” David Lynn said.

“I can’t imagine a better scenario for anyone who wants to spend time with their parents. And then to get paid to do that and to be successful doing that, lucky describes it perfectly.

I feel lucky every day.”

“It’s just special,” Greg Lynn said. “I had three boys (son Michael also lives in Edmond and son Jon lives in Monroe) and now I have girls. It’s just a whole new world for me and I absolutely love it. As far as what you could do in a second career if you get one, this is a dream come true.”
