Transit found lacking Everett Station travelers feel unsafe, according to a new review By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — A review of Everett Transit’s operations and facilities concluded that, while the agency’s services are largely

successful, it suffers from inadequate facilities and a lack of clear communication among staff and the public. The review was conducted by the American Public Transportation Association, a

professional association that convened a volunteer group of transit officials from across the U.S. to review the city’s bus system. Mayor Ray Stephanson asked for the review as one part of his

administration’s broader efforts to eliminate Everett’s long-term budget deficit. The city balanced its 2015 budget and cut expenses with See TRANSIT, Page A2

EVERETT — It’s a conversation meant to fuel the next conversation. What can they do better? What remains unknown? Everett Public Schools staff recently underwent extensive training on how to think and act in a school shooting or other major incident such as an earthquake.

“The purpose of this is coming together,” Assistant Superintendent Molly Ringo told those gathered at a March 12 session for principals.

EVERETT — The Snohomish County Council appears ready to appoint a new ombudsman as early as this week, after interviewing two finalists Wednesday. They’re choosing between Jill McKinnie, an Everett-based staffer for Democratic U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, and James Krider, a Republican who served two terms as the county’s prosecuting attorney. “We’re going to deliberate and we hope to reach a decision within the next few days,” Council Chairman Dave Somers said after the interviews. The post for a government problem-solver has been vacant since the beginning of the year. Under county code, it must be filled by April 30. County Executive John Lovick recommended the two ombudsman candidates in February. McKinnie has worked as Larsen’s district director since 2001. Her resume includes 30 years as a staffer for congressional Democrats, mostly working on constituent issues. “I learned early on about asking questions,” she told council members. “Don’t act like you know everything.” She serves on the board of directors for Everett-based nonprofit Housing Hope. Krider served as the county’s prosecuting attorney from 1995 through 2002. He has since voluntarily resigned from the practice of law. Krider, asked about the resignation last week, said he made the decision because he had no intention of continuing to practice law. Krider views the ombudsman’s role as a last resort, serving people who are dissatisfied with county government. “The ombudsman is the voice

various measures, such as implementing a $20 car tab fee. The city still anticipates deficits rising to $10.9 million by 2018. Future savings are expected to be identified through reviews of operations of the city’s fire, police and transportation departments. The city is expected to complete the fire department review in June, and the police department review will begin in the next few months, said Meghan Pembroke, city spokeswoman. The results of APTA’s review were presented to the Everett City Council on Wednesday by Richard DeRock, the general manager of Link Transit in Wenatchee. The report is also available online at everetttransit.org/DocumentCenter/Home/ View/252. There were three foci in APTA’s review: Everett Transit’s agreements with Community Transit, the agency’s facilities and its organizational structure. All three areas were given mixed results, but it was in facilities that the most problems were found. DeRock called Everett Station a “crown jewel” for the city that has not lived up to its potential as the gateway to and from Everett. Problems identified in the APTA report point to a lack of signs or other information for travelers trying to find their way, few businesses at the site serving commuters, and a perceived lack of safety in and around the facility. “You have people (who)

This added to the sense of insecurity. don’t feel safe there, both because there are...wanderers, for lack of a better term,” DeRock told the council. Police presence is inconsistent and the station’s own security staff is largely invisible, he added. “Security staff were spending most of their time in their office looking at monitors,” he said. Some of the actions taken to address problems have had adverse effects: To stop drug dealing in the bathrooms, the staff removed the doors from the stalls. That added to the sense of insecurity, DeRock said. The report indicated that Everett Station could only be successful if more resources were put into it to make it safe and convenient for average people going to work or dropping off kids for an event. “I know you don’t own all of it, it’s not yours to control, but it is the gateway to your community,” DeRock said. He recommended Everett Transit work with its partner agencies in the station, such as Sound Transit and Amtrak, to address signs and way-finding. The city should also establish a regular police presence there, possibly in the form of a small substation in one of the vacant offices. Everett Transit director Tom Hingson said that

the agency had recently received a $300,000 grant that will be used to upgrade security cameras, fix leaking windows and masonry, install more signs and hire more staff for a concierge desk in the main lobby, and a custodian for the restrooms. Outside of Everett Station, the agency’s maintenance and operations North Base is inadequate for staff and there isn’t enough space to park buses, DeRock said. Showing the council a photograph of a small bathroom in the building, Hingson said: “North Base used to be an elementary school, and none of our employees are elementary-sized.” The base is scheduled to be closed in the fall, with the staff squeezed into the nearby administrative building, Hingson added. By contrast, the APTA review found that Everett Transit was not overstaffed at all, and has too few field supervisors, especially on weekends. The report also noted that customer service is only available from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays, and suggested finding money for more relief supervisors, possibly by drawing from the pool of bus drivers. In contrast to the challenges outlined in Everett Transit’s facilities, the report lauded the relationship with Community

From Page A1

Transit, especially with the Swift Bus Rapid Transit service, as mutually beneficial and equitable to both agencies and their stakeholders. It did note, however, that the public was unaware of the success of the program and the advantages it provides the city. “For 20 percent of the cost of the (combined) system, you’re getting 50 percent of the benefit of service,” DeRock told the council. Paratransit service, however, was only found to be “a good start,” according to the report, and a lack of coordination between the two agencies causes difficulties for riders. DeRock said that passengers, in particular those with mental disabilities, have to make multiple phone calls to arrange rides that cross jurisdictional boundaries. Transfers often involve being dropped off and waiting for up to an hour for a connection, he said. The APTA report advocated more centralization of services, including one dispatch center for all trips and better coordination of transfers. Making some of the large-scale changes in Paratransit operations and the overall management of Everett Station will take more conversation between Everett Transit leadership and the City Council, Pembroke said. Changes that affect staffing levels or duties will also involve negotiations with the city’s labor unions, she said.

of the people,” he said. As the county’s prosecutor, Krider said he devoted much of his time to land-use issues. Land-use issues accounted for the largest share of ombudsman complaints last year. Other common issues involve human services, taxes and the criminal justice system. In addition to helping people navigate county government, the ombudsman can recommend improvements to make the system work better. During interviews, Councilwoman Stephanie Wright said the ombudsman should make the people seeking help feel valued, even if the issue isn’t resolved in their favor. Lovick created the office in 2014. As a public advocate, the ombudsman’s job is to help people resolve problems they encounter while dealing with county government. Pay ranges from $91,000 to $128,000. Lovick appointed

Camano Island to decide on EMS levy By Rikki King Herald Writer

CAMANO ISLAND — The fire department here is asking voters to approve an emergency medical services levy renewal on the primary ballot in August. Camano Island Fire and Rescue’s current six-year EMS levy expires in December, Assistant

Chief Levon Yengoyan said. The department is asking voters to approve another six years at the same rate, 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. The average homeowner’s bill would stay about $130 annually, Yengoyan said. “It’s not a new tax. It’s not a higher tax,” he said. “It’s just renewing what we’re currently

doing, what people are currently paying for the service.” Camano Island is unique in that the average resident is at least 50 years old, and crews face longer transport times to get people to the mainland, Fire Chief Michael Schick said. Most of their 911 calls involve a medical problem, and most often that’s a traumatic injury or

someone with chest pains, data show. “Medical calls are such an important part of what we do,” Schick said. The fire department added around-the-clock paramedic staffing in 1995, Yengoyan said. Over the next few years, they’re hoping to get more firefighters also trained as paramedics.

The EMS levy generates about $1.5 million a year, nearly a third of the district’s annual budget. The money is used for paramedic staffing and vehicles, and medical supplies and equipment. “It’s critical that we have that,” Schick said. Ballots for the Island County primary election mail out in July.

Alex Picklesimer is mastering the art of precision machining By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — Alex Picklesimer, 17, splits his days between the Sno-Isle Tech Skills Center in south Everett, Marysville Pilchuck High School and a job at a machining business. He is in his second year precision machining at the skills center and will take part in a statewide vocational competition this spring. Question: There are a many options at Sno-Isle. Why did you choose precision machining? Answer: I initially was looking at diesel mechanics, welding and precision

machining. I wasn’t going to do this class, but after I thought about it, I went to my counselor and switched to it. I had a gut feeling and have loved it ever since. Q: How did you hear about Sno-Isle? A: They had a presentation. I talked to a few of my older friends who did it. They said that it was really great. Q: What is it about precision machining that you like? A: This is a perfect example of when I’m going to use what we are learning in school in real life. You know how people will say in math that I’ll never use that. We get to here. Also, just cutting metal is cool. You are cutting something that is hard

and making it into something useful. Q: Why are you back for a second year (in precision machining)? A: Over the summer, I got a job at Arlington Machine & Welding and I wanted to expand my knowledge more. Q: Do you know what you want to do after you graduate? A: I will be a machinist at Newell (in Arlington). I’m working there now, but not doing that, just what they need me to do. I deburr their parts (grind metal smooth), which is a real chore. Q: So you are graduating from MP this spring? A: I live in Arlington but I go to MP. I lived in Marysville most

of my life and thought I might as well finish out there. Q: It must be nice to be making some money. Do you have your own car? A: I got my own truck to drive that I can actually call my own. I have a 1993 Ford Ranger. Q: How many miles do you have on it? A: 139,000. It’s in pretty good shape. I used to drive a 1994 Toyota Corolla. I like this a lot more. I didn’t want a big truck for gas mileage, but I wanted something a little bit bigger. Q: Did you know you had an aptitude for machining before you enrolled? A: I barely knew how to See SUPER KID, Page A4

Delays on Deception Pass Bridge start next week By Janis Reid Whidbey News-Times

DECEPTION PASS STATE PARK — Drivers can expect two weeks of daytime delays on Highway 20 at Deception Pass at the end of March. Starting Monday, crews will close one lane alternately to clean and inspect the bridge spans along the highway, according to the state Department of Transportation. The cleaning is part of the state’s routine maintenance that

occurs every two years, according to Tom Pearce with WSDOT communications. “It’s important that we get this maintenance done,” Pearce said. “It will help to keep it lasting longer and safer.” Drivers will encounter alternating, single-lane traffic at both the Deception Pass and Canoe Pass bridges, and may experience delays of up to 20 minutes. Maintenance crews will use under-bridge inspection trucks to clean and inspect the structure. WSDOT said during the

Work is expected to wrap up by noon

also where people can get on the bonnet float. Parents can ride with their children or pick them up after the parade at First Street and Avenue E. A free Easter bonnet-making class is scheduled from 2 to 4 p.m. Friday at Bee Bops and

each Friday. During working hours, drivers will not be allowed to park on Pass Island, between the two bridges, according to WSDOT. The late-March maintenance project is not related to the larger paving project to start this July, where drivers will experience full, overnight closures through September. Contractors working on that project will take advantage of the March lane closures to inspect the asphalt on the bridge decks.

ou’ll need to buy a Good To Go Flex Pass if you intend to use the new express toll lanes on I-405 between Lynnwood and Bellevue, expected to open this fall. The new pass is required even if you already have an existing Good To Go pass. The Flex Pass has two modes: a high-occupancy-vehicle setting for carpools and vanpools, and a toll setting for single drivers or two-person carpools. The new Flex Pass costs $15 and can be used to pay tolls on all state toll facilities. The onetime purchase can be made at www.goodtogo405.com. Drivers who have a switchable pass for Highway 167 toll lanes can contact Good To Go for a free upgrade. WSDOT also will give away Flex Passes to drivers who will regularly carpool on I-405 between Bellevue and Lynnwood. Drivers will need to register on RideshareOnline. com, or another partnering network, such as Community Transit’s Curb the Congestion, and fill out a survey to determine if they qualify to receive a free Flex Pass. The new carpool requirements, up to three occupants from two, were set by the Washington State Transportation Commission along with toll rates of 75 cents up to $10. The typical toll is expected to range from 75 cents to $4. Carpoolers also can use RideshareOnline.com’s ridematching services to find potential carpool partners. Drivers who don’t have a Good To Go Flex Pass will still be able to use the express lanes but will pay more. There’s a handy website to answer a lot of your questions about tolling on I-405.

pet peeve. The short answer is no. “State law requires that any images or other data captured by the toll system only be used for tolling purposes, and we can only take images of the vehicle, not the people inside the vehicle,” said Tom Pearce, a spokesman with the state Department of Transportation. The cameras are being tested now (hence the blue flashes of light when you pass under them). “During system testing, we keep tolling images and data for a few months before deleting them,” Pearce said. The Washington State Patrol handles enforcement of high-occupancy vehicle and highoccupancy toll lanes. Currently, the HOV lanes in that stretch of I-405 allow for carpools of two or more people. When they switch to HOT lanes this fall, carpools will need three or more people to use the lane for free.

No turn arrows for Broadway and 16th It’s the same question — and the same answer. Sue Grigsby of Lake Stevens commutes to a job at Everett Community College and wonders if it’s finally time to offer a protected left turn from southbound Broadway onto eastbound 16th Street. “Several years ago I stopped trying to make that left turn most of the time because there was simply too much oncoming traffic and no protected left turns,” Grigsby said. It’s a question she also posed back in 2003 through Street Smarts. At that time, Everett traffic engineers said there weren’t enough crashes at Broadway and 16th Street to move a signal change up the priority list. But they said they planned to look into upgrading the pole apparatus and adding protected left turns in 2004. It’s 2015, and Grigsby is still taking 12th Street, where protected turns were added in 2003 in response to crashes.

Herald staff A man died Sunday morning after he crashed a car on the 41st Street bridge over I-5. Everett police were dispatched to the scene at around 9:40 a.m. Officers found the man dead. He had hit a pole in a Chevrolet Camaro

Investigators determined that the man had taken the 41st Street exit from southbound I-5. He did not stop at the intersection, drove over a raised median and hit a sign. He then crossed five lanes of traffic and hit a cement pole. Detectives believe speed was a factor in the crash. The Snohomish County

Medical Examiner’s Office took the man’s body to identify him and determine cause and manner of death. No other injuries or collisions were reported. The northbound exit and southbound entrance ramps at 41st Street and I-5 were closed while officers investigated. All lanes were open by around 12:30 p.m.

Man sought in nephew’s death in SeaTac caught in California Associated Press SEATAC — A man sought in the fatal shooting of his nephew in SeaTac has been arrested in California. KCPQ-TV in Seattle reported that 68-year-old Robert Studer was taken into custody Saturday in Taft, California, about 30 miles outside Bakersfield.

There was no response when local law enforcement tried to make contact with Studer, so a SWAT team, bomb squad and crisis negotiation team were called in. Several hours later there was still no response, so the SWAT team sent in a robot. Studer was lying on a bed. He was arrested

without incident and taken to a hospital for treatment of an illness. King County sheriff’s detectives were traveling to Taft to assist with the investigation. They had been looking for Studer since his 42-year-old nephew was found dead inside a business park in Seatac on Thursday.

Court ruling opens door for federal execution of murderer He killed 1 child in Idaho, 1 in California, and confessed to killing 2 others near Seattle.

The response from the folks at Everett Public Works is much like 2003. Traffic counts and crash data don’t raise any concerns for the intersection, spokeswoman Marla Carter said. So no change is on the horizon. If a change were warranted, the signal arm is still too short to accommodate a dedicated signal for the turn lanes, she added. The cost to rebuild the signal and pole apparatus is estimated at over $200,000. There’s no funding identified, Carter said. “Our next step would be to look for grant funding for the upgrade which would be a several year process, if it were successful,” she said. Carter suggested driving farther south to 19th Street, which has protected turns, as another alternate route to I-5. “We are also upgrading our traffic signal system to have a new central control that will allow us to make timing changes to better manage varying demands in the future,” she said.

Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals court has affirmed the mental competency of a man sentenced to die for kidnapping, torturing and murdering an Idaho boy in 2005. Joseph Edward Duncan III was convicted of killing several members of a Coeur d’Alene family before snatching their two young children. Prosecutors said Duncan took the children to the wilderness in Montana where he tortured and abused them for weeks before killing Dylan Groene, 9, and returning with 8-year-old Shasta Groene to Idaho, where he was captured.

When he was sentenced to death in the case, Duncan, who opted to represent himself, waived his right to an appeal. But he later changed his mind, and the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the federal judge in the case to hold a hearing to see if Duncan was competent when he gave up the right to challenge his sentence. The judge ruled in December 2013 that Duncan was sound enough to understand his legal options, and an appeals court panel affirmed on Friday that Duncan “validly and affirmatively” waived his right to file an appeal. “His decision to withdraw that waiver, which he made more than two years later, came too late,” the ruling said. Duncan can ask the appeals court to review the decision and appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. The

ruling opens the door for the first federal execution in more than a decade. Duncan also has been sentenced to two life terms in California state court for torturing and killing 10-year-old Anthony Martinez in 1997. Duncan abducted the child as he played near his Beaumont, California, home. Duncan confessed to the crime after the Idaho convictions. Prosecutors in Kootenai County, Idaho have a plea deal in place that allows Duncan to be returned to Idaho to face the death penalty if he isn’t executed federally. Duncan, a convicted pedophile originally from Tacoma, also has told investigators that he killed 11-year-old Sammiejo White and her 9-year-old half-sister, Carmen Cubias, near Seattle in 1996. He has never been charged in their deaths.

State considers powdered alcohol ban By Derrick Nunnally Associated Press

OLYMPIA — A bill making its way through the Legislature could make Washington one of a growing number of states to ban a new powdered alcohol product before it reaches liquor-store shelves. Arizona-based Lipsmark LLC won federal approval March 10 to begin selling Palcohol, described on its website as an 80-calorie pouch of powder. Just add

water and get vodka, rum or three instant cocktails: cosmopolitan, powderita — “tastes just like a margarita,” the site says — and lemon drop, each containing the alcohol content of a standard mixed drink. Powdered alcohol, it claims, could lighten the loads of hikers and airlines, as well as other consumers and sellers for whom the bulk and weight of booze are burdensome, such as refreshment-sellers who operate on islands.

Several Washington legislators, however, say Palcohol is a dangerously sneaky mechanism for getting drunk and have proposed legislation to ban it before it arrives. “This is not a crafted bourbon, or a scotch, or a tequila or something that’s special,” said Rep. Jeff Holy, R-Cheney, at a public hearing this week. “Powdered alcohol is simply for the purpose of intoxication, period. You’re not crafting the finer liquors.”

Bellevue family gives $6M to UW for Alzheimer’s research JoNel Aleccia The Seattle Times

SEATTLE — A Bellevue family that lost three members to Alzheimer’s disease has donated $6 million to the University of Washington to advance cutting-edge research into the devastating and incurable brain disorder. Officials with the Ellison Foundation and UW Medicine announced the gift Friday, saying the new funding will kick off a $20 million project focusing on a rare, precision-medicine approach to the disease. “This is a major, major public-health need,” said Dr. Thomas Montine, director of the UW’s Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. “The goal is to treat the right patient with the right

treatment at the right time.” The funds will help pay for expanded use of exome sequencing, which analyzes patients’ genes to determine potential markers of Alzheimer’s risk; new research into using patients’ own stem cells to test drugs that can stop the disease; and assessing use of a tool known as functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, to detect changes in the brain before dementia occurs. UW officials hope the resources will help recruit a top scientist, too, to lead the clinical-trials team that will eventually test candidate drugs in humans. The UW’s Alzheimer’s center is marking its 30th anniversary. It’s one of 30 Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centers

Even if you haven’t been affected by Alheimer’s, it’s like an oncoming freight train. — Tom Ellison President of the Ellison Foundation

designated by the National Institute on Aging and the only one so far to focus on precision medicine, Montine said. Hundreds of patients from the Seattle area and across the country have participated in nearly 100 clinical trials, according to a federal website. But for Tom Ellison, 58, president of the $50 million family foundation that focuses on health and

poverty issues, the donation was as much about emotion as investment. “I and my family have had entirely too much experience with the disease,” he said. Ellison’s dad, William “Bill” Ellison, was the founder of Savers Inc., the firm that operates the thrift-store chain Value Village and others. He died in 2008 at age 79, more than a decade after first showing

symptoms. Ellison’s uncle, Herbert J. Ellison, was a prominent UW professor and one of the world’s leading figures in Soviet and post-Soviet studies, and served as a consultant to President Reagan. He died in 2012 at age 83 after a swift decline from his formerly brilliant intellect, Tom Ellison said. Ellison’s grandmother, Esther Ellison, died in her late 70s of what people then simply called senility. “In 20/20 hindsight, it was absolutely Alzheimer’s disease,” Ellison said. In addition to that family history, Ellison said he has a childhood friend, Kevan Atteberry, whose wife, Teri, was diagnosed with earlyonset Alzheimer’s at age 51. She’s now 59 and may soon need institutional care, he said. “Even if you haven’t

been affected by Alzheimer’s, it’s like an oncoming freight train,” Ellison said. Indeed, about 5.3 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease, including more than 100,000 in Washington state, according to national and local chapters of the Alzheimer’s Association. Efforts to find causes and treatments are under way nationwide, but Ellison said he and his wife, Sue, decided to direct their gift to the UW. Ellison said he was impressed with the quality of research in Seattle, including the collaboration that exists among the UW, Seattle Children’s and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. “After looking around, we found ourselves right back home,” he said.

Mountain View among top-rated facilities W against other care facilities in the area. Mountain View Rehabilitation & Care Center’s administrator Brandon Bodily is proud of his staff, his facility’s top rating and what they are able to offer to their patients. “Nursing homes vary in the quality of care and services they provide to their residents,” he said. “Reviewing health inspection results, staffing data, and quality measure data are three important ways to measure nursing home quality. This information gives you a snap-shot of the care individual nursing homes give.” Bodily, recipient of the L. Jean Schoonover Excellence in Caring Award in Idaho for three consecutive years and recipient of the American Health Care Association National Quality Award, had already led other facilities to the coveted five-star level as well as to national awards for caring and excellence. He came to Mountain View in July 2013 when the facility changed hands and names. At that time, it was already a quality facility with a four-star rating, but he and the staff decided to take it to the highest level possible. They started by making changes to the way they provided services to the residents. For accuracy and efficiency, a state-of-the-art Point Click Care and an electronic medical record

the high quality of care that we provide the residents at Mountain View Rehabilitation & Care Center.” Bodily stated. Local families seem to think so too. Many call for more information or come by to see the facility first hand. Mountain View currently has plans to build an additional 49,000 square-foot, 88-bed assisted living facility adjacent to the skilled nursing facility. Of these, 18 beds will be dedicated to memory care and the other 70 for assisted living. Bodily said of the expansion, “We have done a lot of planning and are now working through getting all of the proper approvals in place.” Mountain View Rehabilitation and Care Center participates in both Medicare and Medicaid. To find out more, call (360) 659-1259. The facility is located at 5925 47th Ave. NE in south Marysville.

The therapy team was diversified and they increased the amount and the quality of the therapy equipment available to patients at the facility. They also made immediate upgrades to the facility itself to offer more comfort and amenities to patients including new beds and TVs. It did not take long before the staff’s focus on excellence was reflected in its surveys and inspections.

Constance Weaver Milne Constance Lou “Connie”

Milne of Everett, 88, left this life on March 21, 2015 to be reunited with loved ones who had gone before. Connie was born January 29, 1927 in Cleveland, Ohio to Gertrude Irene and Arthur Melville Weaver. She was a precocious child from the very beginning: “My earliest memory is of walking on the beach on a Sunday morning w i t h D a d d y. A t r u e - b l u e Aquarian, I headed straight for the water! With Daddy in pursuit! Still wearing his bedroom slippers! Which made me roar with laughter! I’m glad my first memory was a happy one.” Ar t Weaver was an insurance agent whose career took the family, including Connie and her beloved younger brother Richard Michael “Dick” Weaver, from Ohio to Illinois, Missouri and ultimately to Portland, Oregon. Despite being bounced from school to school, Connie excelled and graduated from high school early. By age 16, she was attending Oregon State College in Corvallis, planning on becoming a journalist and traveling the world. Love intervened when Connie met World War II veteran William S. “Bill” Milne on a 1945 New Year’s Eve b l i n d d a te a t T i m b e r l i n e Lodge on Mt Hood, Ore. T h ey m a r r i e d D e c e m b e r 21, 1946, much to the delight of a close-knit circle of fraternity brothers (Fiji), sorority sisters (Pi Beta Phi) and friends. The Fiji group remained connected for m o r e t h a n 5 0 ye a r s w i t h monthly potlucks and annual camping trips to the Breitenb u s h L a ke ( H A I L B L A E L ! ) area near Mt Jefferson, Ore. Connie and Bill began married life in Portland, moved to Ohio for four years, returning to Portland and moving to Everett where they lived until all their kids graduated from high school. In 1974, they moved to Woodland, Washington, where they lived for 20 years. When Bill passed in 1994 Connie moved to Snohomish to be close to family and friends and lived there for almost 20 years, followed by moves back to Everett sandwiched around a brief stint on Whidbey Island. Among her many activities and interests over the years Connie ran her own bookstore, served Cowlitz County League of Women Voters, Adult Literacy tutor, Founding member of Assistance League of Everett, ultimately served as the President and signing the first lease for Operation School Bell, volunteered in her local church and political campaigns.

Colleges getting out of health insurance business By Donna Gordon Blankinship Associated Press

SEATTLE — The federal health care overhaul is leading some colleges and universities to get out of the health insurance business. Three of Washington state’s six four-year colleges and universities made the change at the same time: the University of Washington, Washington State University and The Evergreen State College. Experts are divided on whether this change will be good or bad for students. Some call it an inevitable result of health care reform and a money-saver for students since insurance in the marketplace is usually cheaper than the college plans. Others worry that more students will go without health insurance since their premiums won’t be folded into the lump sum they pay for school, and they say college health plans offer more coverage for the money than other options. The main driver of colleges getting out of the insurance business is a provision in the Affordable Care Act that prevents students from using premium tax subsidies to purchase insurance from their college or university, according to Steven M. Bloom, director of federal relations for the American Council on Education. Add to that the provision that allows young people to stay on their parent’s health insurance plans until age 26, plus the expansion of Medicaid in some states and the rising cost of student insurance. The result is cheaper health insurance available for students off campus. But Bloom worries more schools will decide to drop insurance coverage. “I’ve heard of instances where schools are thinking about it, but they are reluctant, particularly in instances where states declined to expand Medicaid,” Bloom said. Stephen Bolyai, an administrator who managed the process of dropping student health insurance at William Patterson University in Wayne, New Jersey, said he originally worried about vulnerable students not getting health insurance, but changed his mind after doing more research. “I actually went into the exchange myself and did a bunch of ‘what ifs’ to see if this was actually a better deal for them,” Bolyai said. “In many cases it is.” But college plans give students more coverage for their money, they usually have lower deductibles, and they are more flexible than some state plans bought on the exchange, said Richard Simpson, chair of the student health insurance coalition for the American College Health Association. “Student plans provide ‘gold’ or ‘platinum’ level coverage at a ‘bronze’ price,” Simpson said. “We believe that in the vast majority of cases, student insurance is the best option.” As more states expand Medicaid eligibility, which a number of states are now debating, it’s likely more colleges will push their students into the marketplace — a development being seen from coast to coast. In some states, student plans are still cheaper than individual plans that can be purchased through the exchanges. And students who work part-time and are not on their parents’ insurance often can get covered for free in states that expanded eligibility for Medicaid.

AROUND THE WORLD

Iran nuclear talks progress on uranium LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Iran is considering demands for further cuts to its uranium enrichment program but is pushing back on how long it must limit technology it could use to make atomic arms, Western officials said Sunday. Iran’s potential movement on enrichment reflected the intense pressure to close a deal. But substantial differences between the sides may prove too difficult to bridge before Tuesday’s deadline for a preliminary agreement, which is meant to set the stage for negotiations toward a comprehensive deal in June.

Community stands by co-pilot By Dorothee Thiesing Associated Press

MONTABAUR, Germany — The pastor of the Lutheran church in Andreas Lubitz’s hometown said Sunday that the community stands by him and his family, despite the fact that prosecutors blame the 27-year-old co-pilot for causing the plane crash that killed 150 people in southern France. The town of Montabaur has been rattled by the revelation that Lubitz, who first learned to fly at a nearby glider club, may have intentionally caused Tuesday’s crash of Germanwings Flight 9525. “For us, it makes it particularly difficult that the only victim from Montabaur is suspected to have caused this tragedy, this crash — although this has not been finally confirmed, but a lot is indicating that — and we have to face this,” pastor Michael Dietrich said. He spoke to The Associated Press after holding a church service Sunday to commemorate the crash victims and support their families.

Flags representing different nations are deployed Sunday during an homage ceremony with family members of victims in the area where the Germanwings jetliner crashed in the French Alps.

“The co-pilot, the family belong to our community, and we stand by this, and we embrace them and will not hide this, and want to support the family in particular,” Dietrich said. He added that there is no direct contact with the family, but that he believes they are receiving good assistance. French prosecutors haven’t questioned the family yet “out

of decency and respect for their pain,” Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said. Authorities are trying to understand what made Lubitz lock his fellow pilot out of the cockpit and ignore his pleas to open the door before slamming the plane into a mountain on what should have been a routine flight from Barcelona to Duesseldorf. French officials refused

to confirm or deny a partial transcript that German newspaper Bild am Sonntag said it had obtained of the cockpit recording. The paper reported Sunday that the pilot left for the toilet shortly before 10:30 a.m. and was heard trying unsuccessfully to get into the cockpit again a few minutes later, then shouting, “for God’s sake open the door.” After several more minutes in which the pilot could be heard trying to break open the door, the plane crashed into the mountainside, according to Bild am Sonntag, which didn’t say how it obtained the report. Brice, the Marseille prosecutor, said that none of the bodies recovered so far have been identified, denying German media reports that Lubitz’s body had been found. Tests on the body of the copilot may provide clues on any medical treatment he was receiving. German prosecutors said Friday that Lubitz was hiding an illness and sick notes for the day of the crash from his employer.

Pope opens Holy Week with prayers for Germanwings crash victims Associated Press VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis opened solemn Holy Week services with Palm Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Square, stressing humility and remembering the dead in the Germanwings crash. At the end of Mass outside St. Peter’s Basilica for some 70,000 faithful, Francis prayed for those who died in Tuesday’s crash in the French

Alps, noting there was a group of German schoolchildren aboard the aircraft. The disaster killed 150 people, including the co-pilot who investigators say deliberately slammed the plane into the mountain. Francis clutched a palm frond during the traditional procession at the service’s start. In keeping with the simple tone of his two-year-old papacy, Francis leaned on a plain wooden pastoral staff

instead of a traditionally more ornate one as he stood under a red canopy on the basilica steps. He wore bright red vestments to recall Jesus’ death by crucifixion. In his homily, Francis stressed humility. He hailed those who quietly ignore their own needs to serve others, and paid tribute to Christians who endure with dignity humiliation, discrimination and even persecution

for their faith. Many of the faithful, holding olive branches as symbols of peace, are among pilgrims who have poured into Rome for Holy Week. On Friday evening, the pope will preside over a Way of the Cross service at the Colosseum. On Easter Sunday, he will celebrate mid-morning Mass in St. Peter’s Square, and then give a blessing from the basilica’s central balcony.

Arab League to form military force against rebels By Hamza Hendawi Associated Press

SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt — A two-day Arab summit ended Sunday with a vow to defeat Iranian-backed Shiite rebels in Yemen and the formal unveiling of plans to form a joint Arab intervention force, setting the stage for a potentially dangerous clash between U.S.-allied Arab states and Tehran over influence in the region. Arab leaders taking turns to address the gathering spoke repeatedly of the threat posed to the region’s Arab identity by what they called moves by “foreign” or “outside parties” to stoke sectarian, ethnic or religious rivalries in Arab states — all thinly-veiled references to Iran, which has in recent years consolidated its hold in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and now Yemen. The summit’s final communique made similarly vague references, but the Arab

League chief, Nabil Elaraby, was unequivocal during a news conference later, singling out Iran for what he said was its intervention “in many nations.” A summit resolution said the newly unveiled joint Arab defense force would be deployed at the request of any Arab nation facing a national security threat and that it would also be used to combat

terrorist groups. The Houthis swept down from their northern strongholds last year and captured Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, in September. Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, a close U.S. ally against a powerful local al-Qaida affiliate, fled the country last week as the rebels closed in. Speaking at the summit on

Saturday, Hadi accused Iran of being behind the Houthi offensive, raising the specter of a regional conflict. Iran and the Houthis deny that Tehran arms the rebel movement, though both acknowledge the Islamic Republic is providing humanitarian and other aid. On Sunday, the Saudi ambassador to the U.S., Adel al-Jubeir, said the Lebanese Hezbollah militia was also supporting the Houthis. The Saudi-led campaign, he said on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” is to protect Yemen’s “legitimate government from a group that is allied and supported by Iran and Hezbollah.” A Saudi-led coalition began bombing Yemen on Thursday, saying it was targeting the Houthis and their allies, which include forces loyal to Yemen’s former leader, Ali Abdullah Saleh. Yemeni military officials have said the campaign could pave the way for a possible ground invasion.

Boko Haram fighters attacked poll stations in northeast Nigeria and a governor demanded elections be canceled in an oil-rich southern state Sunday as the count started for a presidential election too close to call.

Flight AC624, an Airbus 320, left Toronto late Saturday with 133 passengers and five crew members.

Syria: IS beheads eight A new video released by the Islamic State group shows its fighters cutting off the heads of eight men said to be Shiite Muslims. The video posted on social media Sunday said the eight men were beheaded in the central province of Hama. An Islamic State fighter speaks in the video, using a derogatory term for Shiites and calling them “impure infidels.”

U.N.: Aid fund empty Just four percent of emergency work in Syria for Palestinians has been funded so far this year, threatening the viability of a cash assistance program that spokesman Christopher Gunness described on Sunday as a “lifeline” for refugees. He said the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees needs around $415 million, of which $250 million would fund its cash program — which provides cash distributions for roughly half a million Palestinian refugees affected by the war in Syria.

ACROSS THE U.S. D.C.: NSA considered ending spy phone program The National Security Agency considered abandoning its secret program to collect and store American calling records in the months before leaker Edward Snowden revealed the practice, current and former intelligence officials say, because some officials believed the costs outweighed the meager counterterrorism benefits. After the leak and the collective surprise around the world, NSA leaders strongly defended the phone records program to Congress and the public, but without disclosing the internal debate. The proposal to kill the program was circulating among top managers but had not yet reached the desk of Gen. Keith Alexander, then the NSA director, according to officials who would not be quoted because the details are sensitive.

New housing floods North Creek

Submarket Area has highest number of new homes sold for Snohomish, King counties By Jim Davis The Herald Business Journal

One of the fastest growing areas in the Puget Sound region is between Mill Creek and Bothell. Hundreds of new homes are being built in the North Creek area and construction is expected to continue for the next several years. One firm that tracks housing data found the area had the highest number of new homes sold in 2014 for Snohomish and King counties. And it wasn’t even close. In the area between the two cities, 616 new homes were sold last year, according to MetroStudy, formerly New Home Trends. The next closest was 335 around Newcastle south of Bellevue in King County and 223 around Mukilteo, said Todd Britsch, MetroStudy’s regional director for Seattle and Oregon. Most of the new homes are being built in the unincorporated county, in areas that will eventually be incorporated by either Mill Creek or Bothell. The numbers don’t surprise Britsch. “When you look at where the jobs are being created and the buildable land, it’s kind of a nobrainer,” Britsch said. More tech jobs are coming online in Redmond and Bellevue, but the existing homes on the East Side are too expensive for many workers. “Even though they’re coming in with great jobs, they can’t afford a home in Redmond or Bellevue for the most part,” Britsch said. People who live between Mill Creek and Bothell are just minutes away from I-5 and I-405. And improvements to Highway 9 allow people to get onto those freeways quicker, said Bob Vick, senior vice president for Sundquist Homes in Lynnwood. “In the old days, it was Nowheresville,” Vick said. “You couldn’t get to it. Now that’s all turned on its ear.” Another reason that the area is so hot right now is the Northshore School District, Vick said. Homes in the Bothell-Canyon Park area sell for as much as $100,000 more than similar-sized homes west of the Bothell-Everett Highway in the Martha Lake area.

Ryan and Christen Lambert and their two young children, Alison, 4, and Nolan 1½, recently moved to Bothell. When they were house hunting, they say, it was clear that the schools are being marketed to newcomers.

KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD

The North Creek area from Bothell to Mill Creek is one of the fastestgrowing areas in the Puget Sound region.

“Generally speaking a large chunk of that is related to schools,” Vick said. Among the new arrivals are Ryan and Christen Lambert and their children, Alison, 4, and Nolan, 1½, and their dog, Cooper. They purchased a 3,500-squarefoot home at Stratford Court in Bothell in January. “Everybody has been here for a year or less,” Ryan Lambert said. “The nice thing is everybody is starting off on the same foot.” He works as an

energy-efficiency engineer for Puget Sound Energy in Bothell. Christen Lambert works in marketing for a Catholic high school in Seattle. Many of their neighbors work in the tech industry. The couple see their neighbors loading into vanpools headed for Microsoft on the east side or Amazon in Seattle. The Lamberts are still debating whether to put their kids in Catholic schools or the Northshore School District.

They heard from neighbors that the elementary school closest to their home added nine students in just one week in February. When they were house hunting, it was clear that the schools are being marketed to newcomers. “It seems like every house we looked at moving into, they told us that this is the Northshore School District,” Christen Lambert said. The Northshore School District has been bracing for an expected jump in students enrolling on the Snohomish County side of the school district. Construction is under way on the Northshore School District’s fourth high school, which is expected to be ready for students by fall 2017. The $130 million project, to be called North Creek High School, is being built on 61 acres off 35th Avenue, between 188th and 192nd streets southeast. The new high school is one piece of a three-part district plan to handle a growing student population, particularly on the north part of the district. The other two pieces are reconfiguring grades at elementary, middle and high schools and adjusting boundaries within the district for individual schools.

Another factor in the growth between Mill Creek and Bothell is the lack of housing inventory in some parts of King County, said Deidre Haines, of Coldwell Banker Bain in Lynnwood. She said some families may be looking at living closer to their jobs, but just can’t find a house. So they’re choosing to travel a little farther to get their home. “The buyers are gradually moving more and more north,” Haines said. “Maybe they’ve been looking in Ballard and Green Lake and can’t get a house. So they’re willing to move across the line into Snohomish County.” Builders realize how popular the North Creek area is and are looking at building east of Mill Creek and Bothell, said Sundquist’s Vick. The drawback is that lot prices are going up quickly in the area. “We’re out of the era of buying projects that were bank owned from the downturn,” Vick said. MetroStudy tracks housing trends in 45 submarket areas in Snohomish and King counties. The area between Mill Creek and Bothell is called the North Creek Submarket Area, said Britsch, who has worked for the firm for 14 years. Britsch said that he expects more people will be coming soon. He said the Millennial generation is getting ready to have kids of their own. “Contrary to popular belief you cannot allow your 5-yearold to play at the corner of Fifth and Pike (in downtown Seattle),” Britsch joked. “These Millennials who love living in Belltown close to the bars and close to their jobs — when they have children they’ll begin to migrate to the suburbs.” And that means even more people moving to the area. Barring a recession or an unforeseen economic setback, it should continue for another three to five years. “At that point the North Creek Submarket Area will run out of buildable land,” Britsch said. “What you’re going to see really in this area is incredible appreciation strictly due to supply and demand. “We’re already seeing parts of the Puget Sound are reacting very similar to the San Francisco Bay area.”

How small businesses can recruit quality employees By Ryan Davis

biz bits

ave you tried to hire workers lately and found the number of applicants fewer and less qualified? Are you finding you need to pay higher wages to attract and retain your workforce? The employment trends in Snohomish County show that these trends are likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Small businesses face disadvantages in hiring without large corporate benefit packages, human resources staffing and the ability to recruit outside the local area. However, tapping into different pockets of the labor market can open the door to finding the candidates you need to hire. The official unemployment rate in Snohomish County is down to 5.3 percent, according to the Employment Security

Division Monthly Labor Area Summary. However, the data behind that benchmark number tell a more detailed story. Just over 7,000 workers are collecting unemployment insurance in the county, down from nearly 14,000 at the same time in 2012. The total number of unemployed workers in the county has been halved in the last three years from 40,000 to just under 21,000. The total workforce in Snohomish County just topped 400,000 people, up from 370,000 in 2012 with over 8,000 workers joining the labor force in the past year. The numbers are clear; despite the increase in size of the labor force, the market for talent continues to tighten. However, there are four potential places where you can find that next hire that are underutilized.

Mind the gap: As the economy improves, workers are re-entering the job market often after multi-year absences. If you are screening out resumes with employment gaps, now is the time to reconsider those strategies. Talented workers may have left while the economy was down to raise a family, go back to school, or just take a mid-career sabbatical. Asking about gaps in employment in an interview is always a good idea, but not giving an otherwise qualified candidate a chance means you may be missing an opportunity. Go Millennial: Unlike previous generations, Millennials are less likely to have that “first job” experience while in high school. Hiring someone with limited work history contains a lot of unknowns.

Do not disqualify: Researchers from Princeton University estimate there are nearly 20 million people with felony convictions in the United States, not including arrests or misdemeanor charges. It can seem expedient to ignore an application from an individual who answers yes to a criminal history, but you are screening out a large swath of the workforce. Some positions or businesses must hire those with clean records, but think twice before holding a conviction, particularly one in the past, against a hard worker.

Lynch, seven in 10 retirees indicate they would like to work during retirement. Often, this means part-time or projectbased work opportunities both to supplement income and for a sense of enjoyment or contribution. If you have part-time needs, consider targeting recent retirees who bring a wealth of expertise but do not want the rigors of a traditional 40-hour work week. Every business possesses unique needs for its labor force. If you have not thought about how you will recruit talent, now is the time. Your venture will only be as good as your employees. Finding diamonds in the rough in an increasingly tight labor market is a competitive advantage that will take you to the next level.

IN OUR VIEW | Pet waste problems

Please, pick up after your dog How is the dog waste situation in your neighborhood? In North Everett, it is atrocious. Any and all grassy strips between the sidewalk and the road are waste-laden. Property owners will testify the poop doesn’t stop there, but rather is just as plentiful on private property. School teachers will tell you that people let their dogs run free on the elementary school field, and do not pick up after them. It’s the same at the community college, and around the hospital and cancer center. Dog owners (and non-dog owners) will wearily tell you that they, or their dog, have stepped in dog excrement, again, while out taking a walk.

In 2008, Snohomish County began a campaign to get pet owners to pick up after their dogs — in their own yards. Our huge rainfall means that waste left to “wash away” does just that — the waste and its accompanying bacteria and parasites, end up polluting the groundwater and Possession Sound. Because of high fecal coliform levels, all urban streams and waterways in Snohomish County are unsuitable for swimming or wading. Unfortunately, these types of campaigns never penetrate the brains of those who need the educating. They don’t have to pick up after their dogs at home, after all, because they take their dogs out in public to

defecate. Snohomish County is home to about 173,500 dogs, up from 126,000 in 2008. The dogs produce about 40,000 pounds of waste a day, according to the county. So it only takes a small percentage of irresponsible dog owners to make the problem a problem for everyone. The campaign focused on backyard waste, because that is where most dogs go, and where waste often is often not picked up at all. However, the dog waste left in public places needs to be addressed as well. New York famously cracked down on sidewalk messes with $250 fines. Small communities like condos are using DNA testing, successfully, to

catch the offenders, or rather the dogs’ owners. Cities will have to wait for that technology, for now it remains a cathartic fantasy for responsible dog owners and non-dog owners alike. Creating a painful fine in Everett for not picking up after your dog might make a difference. Peer pressure is also welcome, but it turns out selfish dog owners who have unmeasurable contempt for their fellow citizens aren’t real receptive to an offer of a plastic bag they can use to pick up after their dog. (Which should then be disposed of in the trash.) Maybe obedience classes are also in order. Yes, for the dog owners.

Over half of Americans alive were not here in 1986, so this is to tell them that it wasn’t overlooked, something was done. There have been good congresses and they will be more.

catastrophic events took place that not only changed the physical state of the planet but also destroyed almost every living thing. The last of these occurred 65 million years ago and wiped out the dinosaurs and most of other life as well; fauna and flora. The planet was reset to square one and it took 12 million years for life as we know it to re-establish itself. Eventually another such catastrophe is bound to occur and all signs of man’s feeble existence will disappear; roads, railways, airports, cities, music and the arts. Then perhaps, after a suitable period of peace and quiet, another human type will emerge that will be more constrained and less greedy than we are (hopefully). So have no fear for the planet only our continued ability to survive on it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■SOCIAL SECURITY

Actually, a plan was put in place James McCusker’s March 20 column, “Immigrants’ lower birth rate bodes ill for Social Security,” made it seem like Social Security was on its last legs and that no one was paying attention. In the mid 1980s, Congress saw the problem, increased the taxes (my self-employed taxes almost doubled) and extended the age of retirement to overcome the problem for the next 50 years. Our government borrowed the trust fund money to fight several wars without raising taxes to make the wars more acceptable. Now it is having to be paid back and Congress doesn’t like it, so they say “we’re in the red” to lower benefits, when in reality we’re using the extra funds we set aside for this time, but it was borrowed by the government. Therefore, the Treasury must pay it back. It was a “trust fund.” Congress is going to have to find those war funds after all by raising some taxes, or did they figure to have enough of the “boomer” generation killed to lower that demand? So asset reserves are going to be used. That’s what they were created for in the first place, to handle this baby boom bubble. The problem in 2033 is taken care of by increasing the employer

portion of Social Security 1 percent and increase the Medicate insurance paid by employees 0.5 percent. Since more employers are deleting their retirement plans it is only fair that they help balance the retirement of all employees. By paying the extra 0.5 percent employees will create a system which will be around for them when they retire.

GUEST COMMENTARY | Informational picket at Providence

Heed nurses’ warning on staffing issues By Jake Nicholls

t was a sea of yellow outside my daughter’s hospital room on St. Patrick’s Day this year as Providence’s nurses held an informational picket to raise awareness of staffing and pay issues. Herald readers may have read that day’s story, or seen the picket in person. If so, a friendly nurse likely handed you a sheet that said “Nurses Need a Voice” without much else on it and talked to you about something called Safe Staffing and better pay and health benefits. Regardless of my personal views on unions, I didn’t pay this much mind since I don’t have any sort of benefits and a registered nurse is likely worth about three of me. And with Providence’s excellent reputation for quality care, patient pay flexibility and charitable work, how bad could it be to work for them? I think most people probably did what I did: ignore the first thing we didn’t know much about and recall how nice our new hospital is. I got a crash course in Safe Staffing a few nights later. I knew something was off after the nurse in charge took care of my daughter

(Hint: that’s not supposed to happen). Then a familiar face from day shift walks in the door to take over. Keep in mind these nurses work 12-hour shifts up to 6 days in a row. This nurse, in addition to working 20 hours of her 24-hour day, was loaded with other patients to the point where we could barely find her when we needed her. My wife and I addressed our daughter’s problems, moved and touched things we shouldn’t have, and made things work while our sleepy nurse took care of patients on the other side of the wing. Did I mention we’re in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit? This is a picture of what Safe Staffing isn’t: too many people, not enough nurses. And worried as I am about my child, I worry even more for the babies in worse shape than mine is. The ones born with severe defects, the babies born at 24 weeks where survival rates are low and problems are rampant, the babies who don’t have two other adults in the room to try and pick up the slack. Let’s go over a little more of what Safe Staffing isn’t. Staff Staffing isn’t carting a very vulnerable child from

room to room because of “staffing.” Safe Staffing isn’t keeping nurses so busy that visitors and parents are left waiting to get inside with no “huck” (the person who watches the heart monitors and sometimes grabs the door) in sight. Safe Staffing isn’t keeping a child in a room for one day and then moving rooms due, again, to “staffing.” I have seen the nurses here do some incredible things with their limited staffing resources. But as a father, I am deeply concerned for the safety of the patients in Providence’s hospitals. What the nurses here want isn’t just another pay raise. What they are asking for is something that is common at other area hospitals: the ability to say “This staffing situation is unsafe and I will not provide my best care in this situation.” As of right now, nurses get their assignments with no input. Which sounds OK until you consider that these frontline nurses probably have a much better sense of what needs to be done verses someone in an office drawing up staffing arrangements from a formula and a chart with names and blood

pressures on it. The kicker? If something happens while these nurses are on duty with their unsafe assignments, they are ultimately liable. The security guards here call this campus The Country Club because it’s slower, easier and less stressful than the hospital on Colby. I recall when my Grandpa was hospitalized at the Colby campus and each overworked nurse tried to give him sugar despite his diabetes. If nurses at Colby are any worse off than they are here, I can’t imagine what else gets overlooked. Providence needs to step up to the table and bargain with these nurses. They’d love a raise just like anyone else, but the real reason our nurses are speaking up is because our community’s most vulnerable members are at serious risk. A simple change in nurse’s rights or a few new hires could make a world of difference. And this community needs to step up and stand with the heroes who save lives every day. Nobody wants another Death Valley. Jake Nicholls is studying journalism at Everett Community College.

New adviser antidote to past Obama hires

n the early days of the Obama administration, my Washington Post colleague Shailagh Murray and I used to trade tales of the arrogance of White House officials more interested in their insular club and the prestige of their positions than in the responsibility they had. “They think they’re in the movie of their job,” she liked to say, and she was right: They acted as if they were playing themselves in “The West Wing.” DANA MILBANK So it was with delight that I learned while vacationing this week that Murray had been named to the very highest level of officialdom in the White House. President Obama appointed her senior adviser to the president, filling a position held over the past decade by Karl Rove, David Axelrod, David Plouffe and, most recently, Dan Pfeiffer. It’s enjoyable to see a friend in such an exalted role, but Murray’s appointment is more than that: It gives hope that Obama is finally trying to break out of the insufferable insularity that has choked progress in his White House — and that he is at long last ready to reach out to Capitol Hill and to the media to make his case. For far too long, this president has surrounded himself with yes men, living in a self-congratulatory world of affirmation. It’s late in his presidency, but it’s not too late to be administered a dose of reality. I met Murray 20 years ago when she and her husband Neil King, now deputy Washington bureau chief of The Wall Street Journal, wrote for the Journal from Prague and I was a Journal correspondent in London. I later helped bring her to the Post. Along the way, we hosted a dance party on Capitol Hill ironically claiming to benefit the Robert Blake Legal Defense Fund and, at a 2008 debate between Obama and John McCain, we played a beer-drinking game of buzzword bingo in the filing center. Murray joined the Obama administration in 2011 after Vice President Biden, whom she had covered for years in the Senate, asked her to be his communications director. She liked Biden — most of us who covered him on the Hill do — and she took the job even though she had no interest in being in the movie of her job. She doesn’t tweet or post on Facebook. When she was introduced at this year’s Gridiron dinner, she didn’t stand up. And she declined invites to next month’s White House Correspondents Association dinner — the incestuous “prom” for reporters and their White House and celebrity guests. Naturally, she had no interest in being interviewed for this column. Murray is, in other words, admirably detached from the world of Washington egos. She is an outsider in temperament and is not ideological in the least. She used to work in a record store and a nightclub; she frequents D.C.’s 9:30 Club with her daughters, both products of Washington Catholic schools. Her Southern roots have left her with a strong interest in seeing that the first African-American president is a success, but Biden recruited Murray not because of her ideology or loyalty but because of her knowledge of the Hill and of the press. Pfeiffer, a longtime Obama loyalist, had been cautious in the job, causing grumbling among colleagues because his risk aversion bottled up ideas and projects. He trashed and tried to circumvent the mainstream media, and he had little to do with lawmakers. But he fit well in a White House where top officials — Denis McDonough, Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice — had been with Obama since his first presidential campaign or earlier. Murray, 49, is a much-needed antidote to all this. She takes risks, she has Capitol Hill wired (she was a longtime congressional reporter), and she recognizes that seeking new ways to get Obama’s message out does not mean shunning journalists. Her mandate is to use the next 22 months to cement Obama’s legacy so that his policies — Obamacare, particularly — endure beyond his presidency. She’ll also be helping to end this administration’s maddening pattern of having the president give a speech, then letting the issue drop while momentum is lost. And Murray is not about to join Obama’s coterie of sycophants; she has spent her career around the powerful and she won’t hesitate to tell him when he’s screwing up. Obama likely would have achieved more if he had been surrounded earlier by more Shailagh Murrays and fewer aides who thought they were in the movie of their job. But better late than never.

Indiana Gov. Pence defends religious freedom bill By Josh Hicks and Sarah Halzack

“This isn’t about disputes between individuals,” he said. “It’s about government overreach, and I’m proud that Indiana stepped forward, and I’m working hard to clarify this.” The governor also said the law protects “individuals when they believe that actions of government impinge on their constitutional First Amendment freedom of religion.” Pence added that the measure would apply only to disputes between individuals when government action is involved. He said he expects additional legislation this week to clarify the intent of the law. One idea under consideration is a proposal to add sexual orientation as a protected class under the state’s

The Washington Post

Republican Indiana Gov. Mike Pence on Sunday defended the religious freedom bill that he signed last week, saying the growing outrage over the legislation stems from “a tremendous amount of misinformation and misunderstanding.” Critics of the new law say it gives businesses a license to discriminate against gays by citing religious views as a reason to deny them service. Asked on ABC’s “This Week” about whether businesses could refuse service to gay people under the new law, Pence repeatedly said the question was beside the point.

Hundreds of people gathered outside the Indiana Statehouse on Saturday for a rally against legislation signed Thursday by Gov. Mike Pence that opponents say could sanction discrimination against gay people.

the people of the state of Indiana.” George Stephanopoulos, host of “This Week,” ended the interview by asking

for a yes-or-no answer on whether it should be legal to discriminate against gays and lesbians. “You’re following the mantra of the last week online, and you’re trying to make this issue about something else,” Pence said. “What I am for is protecting ... the religious liberty of Hoosiers.” White House press secretary Josh Earnest criticized the governor during a follow-up interview on the show. “It should be easy for leaders in this country to stand up and say that it is wrong to discriminate against people just because of who they love,” he said. Amid the criticism, Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council,

defended Pence and the new law on Twitter . “What is unfolding in Indiana reveals who the real bullies are,” Perkins wrote, referring to those whom he thinks support the idea of a government that can “punish people for freely living according to their beliefs.” Herb Simon, who owns Indiana’s NBA and WNBA teams, said in a statement that his teams and their playing venue value diversity and tolerance. “The Indiana Pacers, Indiana Fever and Bankers Life Fieldhouse have the strongest possible commitment to inclusion and non-discrimination on any basis,” Simon said. “Everyone is always welcome at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.”

Drownings along Rio Grande spike after enforcement surge are being found. “The canals and areas of the river they are trying to traverse, they typically weren’t trying to go across before,” said Raul L. Ortiz, deputy chief of Rio Grande Valley sector. Encompassing some 320 miles of river, his sector has already seen at least 16 drownings in nearly six months. Though illegal crossings have decreased dramatically from last summer, more law enforcement officials are patrolling the border to deter another wave of immigrants. “It used to be one a month,” Mission Fire Chief Rene Lopez Jr. said. “Now it’s one a week.” Some canals are 50 feet wide with steep brush-covered embankments that make it hard to climb out. The waters look deceptively calm but currents run through them, and

MISSION, Texas — A U.S. surveillance helicopter hovering over the Rio Grande spots a body floating near a muddy bank on the Mexican side of the river. Soon another body turns up, then another. A Mexican investigator arrives and holds up his hand confirming the grim tally: four men and a woman. The grisly discovery last month is part of a spike in drownings since October. Immigrants, desperate to avoid detection at a time of increased patrols, are choosing more dangerous and remote crossings into South Texas. The Border Patrol has responded by expanding its search-andrescue teams to monitor the area, particularly weedchoked irrigation canals where many of the bodies

For example, Everett schools are adding constructionstyle vests to emergency kits, because in the chaos and confusion, that could help police and medics more easily determine who works at the school. Custodians, in particular, are important because they

swimmers often get caught in hydrilla, an invasive water plant, or debris such as shopping carts and tires. “They get tied down and it’s hard to get away from that in black water,” said Capt. Joel Dominguez, part of the rescue team. “And they are often panicking, running from agents.” To provide help, the Border Patrol has transferred eight members of an elite rescue unit from El Paso to the Rio Grande Valley,

bringing the total number of agents to 30. They’re trained in swift-water rescues, emergency medicine, tracking and diving. But experts say the extra resources can only do so much to prevent deaths in the Rio Grande, which has long claimed the lives of migrants trying to cross it. “It’s not like slow dying in the desert or in the prairies of South Texas,” said Nestor Rodriguez, a University of Texas at Austin sociology

know details about buildings, fences and windows, Snohomish County Sheriff’s Lt. Scott Parker said during a training at Penny Creek Elementary. Everett schools also are backing away from rules forbidding students from sending their parents text messages after a major incident. It’s still “new thinking” for teachers to encourage kids to tell their parents they’re OK, because “the world has changed,” Ringo said. Still, she said, that has to happen carefully, because texting and social media can spread panic and misinformation in the early minutes and hours of emergencies.

The district-wide training wasn’t meant to be a script for every crisis. Instead, Dave Osman, an Everett police school resource officer, encouraged teachers and principals to be flexible and to empower themselves to make the decisions that seem right in the moment. Even the best of plans don’t always account for stress and emotion, he said. Any decisions made in a crisis will be questioned for years to come, Osman said, but saving young lives is more important. He cited a shooting when someone threw a chair at a gunman, temporarily distracting him. Those kinds of decisions happen in seconds,

professor. “A drowning happens in a minute or two and it’s much more difficult to save someone.” Border Patrol trucks and Texas state trooper vehicles stand watch daily on the levees that separate the Rio Grande from the canals. Smugglers are now quicker to abandon their groups in the river or scrubland, according to Felix Cantu, the Border Patrol agent in charge of McAllen station. Until recently, the smugglers “usually would take the group all the way to where they are going,” he said. “Now they are trying to get more separation, remove themselves form the group, obviously not to get caught.” The dead will often float to the surface within a few days, still wrapped in their packs. Fish and turtles often have fed on the bodies, making identification

Three of the five bodies discovered last month by the helicopter crew were identified within days: two Mexicans and one from El Salvador. “You just feel for them,” Lopez Jr. said. “They are young, in their 20s and 30s, even teenagers.” Guatemalan Consul Allan Perez has had the unenviable task of notifying families back home that their loved ones died. Just last month, the decomposed body of a 27-year-old Guatemalan man was found in one of the canals. He said he impresses upon immigrants who survive but get deported that they are the lucky ones. “I tell them you are returning without money, injured, with broken dreams and your head down,” he said. “But you are going back alive.”

but have a potential effect on the outcome, he said. Emergency management folks and safety experts have struggled to find a balance of providing schools with instructions that are sufficient but not too general. For example, teachers around the country have been given conflicting instructions on whether they should try to leave with students who run off campus or stay behind, Osman said. In an emergency, each adult is responsible for the kids they’re with at the time, and that means staying with them, even if they run. “That’s not cowardly,” he said. “That’s courageous.” Other questions that came up during the sessions included: “911’s been called. What happens next?” “What if I have the shooter’s kid, the one he’s after?”

“There’s a knock on your classroom door. What do you do?” “What about when I feel helpless?” Each small group took notes to share with their bosses on what still needs work, which questions need answers. Those questions are the first step in an imperfect and uncomfortable process, Edmonds Community College security director Jade Broglio told those gathered at North Middle School. Osman echoed the thought. He and Mary O’Brien, North Middle’s principal, meet often about school safety — what to do and how to work around any problems. “We’ve learned a lot about what we need to work on and fix, but remember all of us are going to get better and better every day,” he said.

Whittier Elementary School teacher Jennifer Nonisa and Jerod Grant, director of the Diversity and Equity Center at Everett Community College, are co-recipients of the Snohomish County NAACP President’s Award, recognizing their community service work in the county, particularly with youth. Grant recognized Nonisa last year when she received the Tonya Royer Outstanding Community Service Award. “I was shocked, speechless, and humbled to receive this acknowledgement,” Nonisa said.

The Lynnwood Rotary presented the Edmonds School District with a $30,000 on March 19 to help fund early learning projects, including a parent partnership program called “Edmonds PreK: A Family Learning Experience.” The early education program already is offered twice a week at 10 elementary schools. The Rotary grant will expand the program to a second day at four other elementary schools. The grant also will pay for kindergarten learning kits and literacy education training for preschool through third grade teachers. Last August, Lynnwood Rotarians also donated their time to assemble the kindergarten learning kits, which include beans, flashcards, pencils with special grips, and other supplies to support kindergarten readiness skills.

Should dad push shy son to be more social?

daily crossword

Q: Our 7-year-old is very shy. He doesn’t enjoy the sort of social activities, including sports, that other kids his age are generally involved in and would rather play alone. He has one friend who is also quite shy. His mother and I have conspired to arrange weekly play dates, but whereas the boys get along fine, both kids sometimes balk at cooperating with them. My son occasionally tells me he’d rather read or play alone than play with this other boy. When I ask why, he tells me he “just would.” His school counselor has recommended that the other mother and I put the boys together on a regular basis no matter what. My son does well in school, does his homework on his own, is very creative and is a happy camper when it’s just us and his older brother. Your thoughts, please. A: As your great-grandmother might have said, “It takes all kinds to make the world go ‘round.” Like any other trait, sociability is distributed among a general population of children according to the bell-shaped curve. Theoretically at least, for every child who is very outgoing there’s a child who is very shy. According to several studies, most shy children have

While reluctance to engage socially with other children can result from trauma, most shy kids are simply “born that way.” I put the term in quotes because no one really knows what causes some otherwise high-functioning kids — as appears to be the case with your son — to be socially reticent from an early age. Like your son, many if not most shy children are independent, intelligent, imaginative and creative and therefore very adept at entertaining themselves. They are inclined toward hobbies, art, musical instruments and other activities that don’t require the participation of other children.

more socially empathetic than highly outgoing kids. They feel very secure in their families and may, therefore, bond more effectively to their families’ values than outgoing kids. In other words, shyness has a positive side. Forcing a shy child to engage in group activities is likely to increase social anxiety, so I don’t recommend it. Arranging one-onone activities or play dates with another shy child will probably be mutually beneficial, however, so I agree with the school counselor: You and the other mother should continue conspiring. If your son complains that he doesn’t feel like playing with the other child, simply say, “You don’t have to. I’ve invited them over because I enjoy (the other mother’s) company.” I will bet they’ll end up playing with each other. As much as possible, do outdoor things. Go to a park and fly kites, enroll both boys in golf lessons (a great sport for shy kids), go on hikes, take field trips to museums. Enroll them in chess lessons. These sorts of activities will provide good opportunities for them to form a stronger relationship. Whereas you can’t fool Mother Nature, you can push her along a bit.

Bad wedding-day advice given to wife

the new york times crossword puzzle

Dear Abby: I’ve been married more than 20 years and have three children. What I haven’t had is a real desire for sex — nor have I ever had, as far as I know, an orgasm. Before my wedding, my mother warned me that sex was overblown, uncomfortable and messy, but she said I had to put up with it if I wanted kids and a good marriage. Movies, TV shows and ED ads all suggest that “normal” women are just looking for the next opportunity to jump into bed with their man. Am I a freak? What do I tell MY girls as they grow up? — Waiting In Wichita Dear Waiting: Your mother did you no favor by saying what she did about sex. Sex can be “messy,” but it is also supposed to be pleasurable, and both parties should be able to enjoy it. If sex is painful, then something is wrong. I would never label you a freak. However, you may be asexual, because some people are. If you have never experienced an orgasm, you may have married a man who was also sexually inexperienced. It’s a mistake to judge what sex is supposed to be like from media and/or advertising. People pitching products can be notoriously unreliable, and some television shows and movies strive for shock value. As to what to tell your daughters, there are many books on the subject, and your gynecologist may be able to recommend some. But please do not give your daughters the same message your mother gave to you.

DEAR ABBY time we were all together was a family vacation in 2010. They live in different states, and I travel to visit them for the holidays. They have similar lifestyles, but they don’t reach out to each other. When Mary Beth wrote her feelings to Anne, they were viewed as hurtful and vindictive. I received a copy of the letter, but I didn’t think they were. That was two years ago, and Anne never sent a reply. She said, “Oh, Mom, I don’t know what to write. Can you help?” Frankly, I think Anne prefers the lack of contact with her sister, and that even though they are sisters there is no bond between them. What do you suggest? — Disappointed Mom In Reno Dear Disappointed Mom: Nowhere in your letter did you mention how Mary Beth feels about the fact that her letter may have caused an estrangement. As an adult, Anne should have responded to that letter. It isn’t unusual in families that are geographically separated for sibling bonds to loosen. Work, marriage and children can be profoundly distracting. I’m advising you to continue to see both daughters, but not involve yourself in their relationship. I’m not sure what kind of “noise” you’re looking for, but if you poke into this, it could be an explosion. Universal Uclick

Cancer doc was Herrmannâ€™s final project By Scott Collins Los Angeles Times

Edward Herrmann had collapsed at the studio in New York, and no one knew why. The actor had arrived to record his narrator part for Ken Burnsâ€™ latest documentary epic for PBS, â€œCancer: The Emperor of All Maladies.â€? The three-part, six-hour film, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning bestseller by Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee, traces the story of the disease from its earliest accounts in ancient Egypt to the latest scientific breakthroughs and their impact on real-life patients. Herrmann, a favorite collaborator of Burnsâ€™, was helped up by colleagues after he had crumpled to the floor and was soon back at the microphone. â€œBut during the break, he came back into the booth and explained that he not only had cancer, he had terminal cancer, brain cancer,â€? the filmâ€™s director, Barak Goodman, said. â€œHe was confident he could finish this. ... He felt it was appropriate that this be his final project.â€? Herrmann â€” who died last

ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE

Edward Herrmann, shown here on Nov. 21, 2011, died of brain cancer in December.

December at 71 â€” did finish his work on â€œCancer,â€? which premieres on PBS stations Monday. But that cancer cells were ravaging his body as he narrated the story of humanityâ€™s battle against the disease offered a haunting symbolism. This is an illness so frightening that people sometimes find it hard even to utter its name, resorting to such euphemisms as the â€œC-word.â€? Despite decades of increasingly sophisticated medical research, cancer remains relentless. And ubiquitous. Burns, the director behind

â€œThe Civil Warâ€? (PBSâ€™ No. 1 series of all time), â€œJazzâ€? and many other documentaries, lost his own mother to breast cancer when he was 11. Cancer is perhaps the most-feared of all diseases â€” which is exactly why Burns sees it as a vital topic, if never a welcome one. â€œThe essence of drama is conflict, and the essence of conflict is live or die,â€? the filmmaker, 61, said in a joint interview with Goodman and Mukherjee. â€œThose are the stakes here. ... One out of three women and half of all men will get cancerâ€? at some point in their lives. â€œThere are sad moments and there are exultant momentsâ€? in the film, he added. But â€œif youâ€™re curious about who you are and what your fate is, youâ€™ve got to know about this.â€? Burns insists the topic is not as depressing as it might first sound. The work on â€œCancerâ€? has convinced him that a cure might not be as far off as it sometimes seems. â€œJust as progress has often led to intolerable failure,â€? he said, â€œfailure has been the sponsor of so much extraordinary progress.â€?

With â€˜Downtonâ€™s coming demise, here are 5 past deaths While announcing on Thursday that next seasonâ€™s â€œDownton Abbeyâ€? will be its last, executive producer Gareth Neame declined to say who among the Crawley clan and staff will survive until the seriesâ€™ final fade-out. But just as with real life, there are no guarantees, which the first five â€œDowntonâ€? seasons vividly displays. Here are five of our favorite (or should we say mourned?) casualties: Kemal Pamuk (played by Theo James). A dashing

Turkish diplomat visiting Downton Abbey in Season 1, he seduces winsome Lady Mary, then rudely dies in her bed, which leads to a comic yet successful effort to avert scandal and secure Maryâ€™s reputation. Lady Sybil (played by Jessica Brown Findlay). The Crowleysâ€™ youngest daughter, beautiful and headstrong, dies in childbirth in Season 3, leaving the family and staff bereaved and shattering her husband, Tom

Branson. Matthew Crawley (played by Dan Stevens). Lady Maryâ€™s husband and the love of her life, he is killed in a car crash in Season 3 only hours after the birth of his son. Michael Gregson (played by Charles Edwards). An editor and publisher for The Sketch, a London magazine, he falls in love with the perennially lovelorn Lady Edith. But a risky scheme to shed his long-institutionalized wife and marry Edith leads

to his demise, confirmed in Season 5, leaving Edith loveless yet again. Isis (played by Ellie, then Abbie). The familyâ€™s yellow Labrador retriever, she arrives on the scene in Season 2 (replacing Pharoah, the initial â€œDowntonâ€? pooch, whose doggie derriere continues to grace the seriesâ€™ opening titles posthumously). Sadly, Isis likewise meets her maker in Season 5, succumbing to cancer. Frazier Moore, Associated Press

THE CLICKER Mondayâ€™s highlights on TV include: It may not be the easiest thing to watch, but â€œCancer: The Emperor of All Maladiesâ€? is a vital six-hour film from Ken Burns and Barak Goodman that charts the history of the disease and examines the current status of cancer research and treatment. 9 p.m., PBS In â€œThe Big Picture With Kal Penn,â€? the actor

and civil servant analyzes criminal operations in the opener of this statistics-, information- and data-based series. 9 p.m., NatGeo â€œComedy Central Roast of Justin Bieberâ€?: Hannibal Buress, Martha Stewart and others take pot shots at the Biebs. Kevin Hart hosts. 10 p.m., Comedy Central From Herald news services

TODAY IN HISTORY Todayâ€™s highlight: On March 30, 1945, during World War II, the Soviet Union invaded Austria with the goal of taking Vienna, which it accomplished two weeks later. On this date: In 1822, Florida became a United States territory. In 1867, U.S. Secretary of State William H. Seward reached agreement with Russia to purchase the territory of Alaska for $7.2 million. In 1870, the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibited denying citizens the right to vote and hold office on the basis of race, was declared in effect by Secretary of State Hamilton Fish. Texas was readmitted to the Union. In 1909, the Queensboro Bridge, linking the New York City boroughs of Manhattan and Queens, opened. In 1923, the Cunard liner RMS Laconia became the first

passenger ship to circle the globe as it arrived in New York. In 1955, â€œOn the Waterfrontâ€? won the Academy Award for best picture of 1954, while its star, Marlon Brando won best actor; in what was regarded as an upset, Grace Kelly won best actress for â€œThe Country Girl,â€? beating out Judy Garland for â€œA Star Is Born.â€? In 1964, John Glenn withdrew from the Ohio race for the U.S. Senate because of injuries suffered in a fall. The original version of the TV game show â€œJeopardy!,â€? hosted by Art Fleming, premiered on NBC. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot and seriously wounded outside a Washington, D.C., hotel by assailant John W. Hinckley Jr. In 2002, Britainâ€™s Queen Mother Elizabeth died at Royal Lodge, Windsor, outside London; she was 101 years old. Associated Press

Road ends for Zags Duke advances to Final Four with 66-52 win over Gonzaga By Jim Meehan The Spokesman-Review

HOUSTON — Gonzaga’s Road to the Final Four hit a detour with about 4 minutes remaining in Sunday’s game against Duke. The Zags’ offense, so dependable all season but inconsistent during several costly stretches against Duke, stacked up empty possessions. Duke did what Duke has done so often in big NCAA tournament games, delivering at both ends of the floor. Time runs out The topon the careers s e e d e d of three Gonzaga Blue Devils seniors, C2 executed in crunch time and pulled away for a 66-52 Elite Eight victory in front of 20,744 Sunday at NRG Stadium, ending Gonzaga’s record-setting season. The second-seeded Zags (353) didn’t reach the No. 1 ranking of the 2013 team but they set a school-record for wins and matched the 1999 team by reaching the Elite Eight. “It’s really tough when you have all the confidence in the world that we belong in the Final Four,” junior forward Kyle Wiltjer said. “We just weren’t able to get there. That’s the tough thing about sports, someone has to lose.” Duke (33-4) will face Michigan State in the Final Four in Indianapolis. It’s the Blue Devils’ 12th Final Four under coach Mike Krzyzewski. “I’m proud of my guys because we beat a hell of a team,” Krzyzewski said. “Our defense over the last 16 minutes was spectacular, not good.” Gonzaga’s 52 points and eight assists were season lows. The Zags shot better from the field (44 percent to Duke’s 37.5), but made just 2 of 10 3-pointers and 13 turnovers led to 17 Blue Devils’ points. Duke committed only three turnovers, one when it let the shot-clock expire in the closing seconds. “They were flying around, making it tough, but we got some really good looks,” Gonzaga senior wing Byron Wesley said. “When they doubled the posts we were able to cut to the basket and get layups. When they switched on guards we were able to attack the basket. We just weren’t able to

M’s clear spots for Walker, Olson by optioning Elias, Smith By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

LENNY IGNELZI / ASSOCIATED PRESS

The final spot in the M’s starting rotation appears to belong to right-hander Taijuan Walker, who has not allowed a run 18 spring training innings.

INSIDE: NCAA men, C2

PEORIA, Ariz. — The final spot in the Seattle Mariners’ rotation appears to belong to right-hander Taijuan Walker after the club optioned lefty Roenis Elias on Sunday to Triple-A Tacoma in a series of roster moves. Walker would complete a fiveman unit headed by right-hander Felix Hernandez and offering a right/left balance with lefty James Paxton, righty Hisashi Iwakuma and lefty J.A. Happ. “Those things have not been talked about yet from an official standpoint,” manager Lloyd McClendon said, “but Taijuan has thrown the ball extremely

well.” McClendon stopped just short of confirming Walker’s spot in the rotation by noting the camp roster still contains six starting pitchers — but that sixth starter is Erasmo Ramirez, who has not pitched well. At issue for the Mariners is that Ramirez is out of options, which means he can’t be sent to the minors unless he clears waivers. The Mariners also optioned right-handed reliever Carson Smith to Tacoma, which positions rookie lefty Tyler Olson to win a roster spot. Olson would need to be added to the 40-man roster. Olson, 25, pitched last season as a starter at Hi-A High Desert

Auto racing, C3

and Double-A Jackson but has yet to allow an earned run this spring in 102⁄3 innings over nine relief appearances. “I’m still waiting for them to hit a ball hard (against him),” McClendon said. “He’s very poised. He fields his position. He commands the strike zone and throws from different angles. There’s a lot to like.” Smith became the odd-man out in the fierce competition for jobs in the bullpen. “Listen, it was a very difficult decision,” McClendon said.” We knew the decisions would be tough. We just felt the other guys threw a little bit better.

Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo celebrates with his team after the Spartans beat Louisville in overtime to win the NCAA East Regional title game.

Improbable run continues Michigan State beats Louisville in OT to advance to Final Four By John Wawrow Associated Press

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Travis Trice vowed a day earlier that he wasn’t going to cry should the Michigan State Spartans continue their improbable run to the Final Four. The senior guard’s vow lasted no more than 10 seconds once the final horn sounded following Michigan State’s 76-70 overtime victory over Louisville in a thrilling NCAA Tournament East Regional final Sunday. Amid the frenzied celebration, Trice squatted down at center court and began to sob uncontrollably. “I was actually trying to hold it in,” Trice said. “I try to keep it even keeled. I’m mad that I even cried now.” That’s when senior forward Branden Dawson interjected by saying that was the first time he’s ever seen Trice cry. Counted out for done as recently as six weeks ago, the seventh-seeded Spartans (27-11) let it all out in a thrilling display

of perseverance and defensive grit to oust the fourth-seeded Cardinals (27-9). “I’d like to tell you that I thought five different times this year that we were good enough to get to a Final Four, but I’d be lying to you,” said coach Tom Izzo, who described this as the best of seven regional final victories he has enjoyed. “But I think the burning desire to be in this Final Four, and they didn’t want to be a group that didn’t make it. I think it was more of the battle cry all year long.” Trice led the Spartans with 17 points. Dawson had 11 rebounds, including a key putback of Bryn Forbes’ missed 3-point shot with 31.7 seconds left in overtime. And Denzel Valentine scored 15 points for a Michigan State team that won for the 12th time in 15 games. It’s a run that included them knocking off secondseeded Virginia last weekend and third-seeded Oklahoma in the regional semifinal on Friday. Michigan State will face Duke, which beat Gonzaga 66-52 in the South Regional final, on Saturday in Indianapolis.

Wayne Blackshear had 28 points for the Cardinals (27-9) in a game that featured 11 lead changes. There could have been a 12th with 4.9 seconds left in regulation, when Cardinals forward Mangok Mathiang hit his first free throw to tie the game on a shot that hit off the heel of the rim and bounced high and in. But he wasn’t so fortunate on his second one, which also hit the heel and bounced wide left. “Sometimes it can be a cruel game. I was positive we were going to win it when the first free throw went in because it shouldn’t have gone in,” Cardinals coach Rick Pitino said. “It’s very difficult for all the players. But real proud of our guys.” Louisville was denied a shot of making its third Final Four in four years, and 11th overall. It’s the ninth Final Four appearance for the Spartans, and first since 2010, when they lost 52-50 to Butler in the national semifinals. Izzo has led them to seven Final Fours including the 2000 national championship.

The Spartans did it with a roster that was regarded as having less talent than the team that lost in the regional final to Connecticut a year ago. Michigan State lost three of its top four scorers. “Everybody doubted us. Everybody had us down and out,” Valentine said. “They didn’t have us making the tournament. We just kept strong. We believe in ourselves.” The Spartans rallied from a 40-32 halftime deficit to eventually build a 61-59 lead with 3:57 left, when Trice hit two free throws. Michigan State took control in overtime, starting with Forbes hitting a 3-pointer 26 seconds in. The Spartans then sealed it in the final 31 seconds. Dawson did what Izzo’s teams have done well over the years: He put back a 3-point miss by Forbes to put Michigan State up 74-70. Valentine batted away Quentin Snider’s pass into the paint on the Cardinals’ next possession, and Trice sealed the win by hitting two free throws with 10.1 seconds left.

Time runs out on playing careers of 3 Gonzaga seniors

South Carolina earns first berth in Final Four

By Jim Meehan and Jacob Thorpe The Spokesman-Review

HOUSTON — Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski stopped Kevin Pangos in the handshake line for an extended verbal pat on the back. “He was really nice about saying how he really valued my game and how he wishes we could have been in the Final Four, and I do, too,” said Pangos, after the point guard’s stellar four-year run at Gonzaga ended with a 66-52 loss to Duke on Sunday. “He was great about it and how this team deserved it.” Time ran out on the Gonzaga careers of three seniors but teammates and coaches talked at length about the contributions of Pangos, Gary Bell Jr. and Byron Wesley to the program. “It just sucks that I’m not going to be able to play with them again,” said junior Kyle

make shots.” The Zags, who trailed by as many as 11 in the first half, opened the second half with a 12-3 run to take a 38-34 lead. Four players contributed to the run, capped by Wesley’s threepoint play with 16:21 to play in the game. Gonzaga didn’t score again until Kyle Dranginis’ layup with

Dranginis, who was in the same recruiting class as Pangos and Bell but redshirted. “For four years, basically living together, hanging out every day, it’s going to be weird me being the only one left. We made history with these guys and I’m just glad I was able to be part of their team.” Bell matched his uniform number with five points and Pangos, who wears No. 4, did the same. Wesley had 10 points and five boards. The Zags posted a schoolrecord 22-game winning streak and won 35 games, three more than 2013 squad that was 32-3. Gonzaga’s Elite Eight run matched the 1999 team. “This is going to hurt for a while but to be at the top of the food chain as far as Gonzaga teams, with all the great teams that have been here, is really something special,” Wesley said. “I just want to say how proud I am of my teammates and coaches for fighting all year.”

10:50 remaining, ending a streak of eight scoreless possessions. Duke built a 52-44 lead with the help of two 3-pointers by Matt Jones, who came in averaging 5.9 points. He made 4 of 7 3-pointers and finished with 16 points, one shy of his career high. “We cross-matched with (Wiltjer) when these teams go small and athletic,” Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. “He stepped up and hit shots.” The Zags battled within 53-51 inside the 5-minute mark as Przemek Karnowski, saddled

Added Bell: “It’s meant everything. We made it to an Elite Eight and that is something you dream of, to play on this stage. You dream of that stuff growing up.” Pangos and Bell, who missed seven games due to injury, finished their four seasons with a 122-20 record. “You’re not going to get higher character guys, you’re not going to get better Zags, you’re not going to get better teammates,” coach Mark Few said. “And their mark basketball-wise at Gonzaga, the most career wins, advancing within minutes of a Final Four, so they’re right there with the greatest that have ever played. No question they’re probably the greatest backcourt.”

Bright future The Zags should have another quality roster next season, presuming three talented bigs return. Kyle Wiltjer, who led the team in scoring, center Przemek Karnowski and freshman forward Domantas Sa-

with first-half foul trouble, had a pair of baskets and Kevin Pangos scored in transition. Wiltjer missed a layup that would have tied the score and it went downhill from there. Freshman forward Justise Winslow scored seven straight points, including a dagger 3 that bumped Duke’s lead to 9 with 2:49 to play. Gonzaga scored one point in the final 5:40. The Zags didn’t make a field goal in the last 6:30. Pangos, who rarely found free space against Quinn Cook’s

bonis formed one of the nation’s top frontcourts. “I’ve got another year of eligibility so that’s my plan right now (to return),” Wiltjer said. Sabonis is rated on several draft boards as a late first-round draft pick.

Duke limits turnovers Even though Duke wasn’t able to match GU’s success inside, the Blue Devils made up for it by getting a shot on nearly every possession. Freshman point guard Tyus Jones was a steadying presence with 15 points and six assists and, most importantly, zero turnovers despite playing all 40 minutes. The Blue Devils turned it over three times, 10 less than the Zags, which made up for the fact that the Bulldogs made 20 of 40 two-pointers while Duke finished 13 of 37.

Duke’s Jones steps up Duke guard Matt Jones followed Russell Wilson’s lead, writing “Why not me?” on his sneakers. The curse of NRG Stadium, which stifled shooters all weekend, didn’t affect Jones, who made 4 of 7 attempts from behind the arc and tied for the team lead with 16 points.

adhesive defense, missed an open 3 and Wiltjer misfired on an off-balance 6-footer. “It felt good and everything coming out of my hand,” said Pangos, who was limited to four points. “Obviously if it went down it would have been a big one. We didn’t get baskets or stops. We just couldn’t get the ball in the basket at the end.” Duke spread the floor, ran clock and hit free throws to close it out. Wiltjer scored 13 of his team-high 16 in the first half.

Denny Hamlin celebrates after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville, Va., on Sunday.

Hamlin snap’s Toyota’s 32-race winless streak at Martinsville Associated Press

MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Denny Hamlin just needed a visit to Martinsville Speedway to get his racing team back on track. Now, with his spot in NASCAR’s Chase for the championship virtually assured, they can work to make it better. Hamlin passed teammate Matt Kenseth for the lead with 28 laps to go Sunday and ended Toyota’s 32-race winless streak in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Martinsville Speedway. It was his fifth victory on NASCAR’s oldest, smallest circuit. “We had a very fast car, but obviously some pit road issues, but we overcame it,” Hamlin said after his 25th career victory, which was helped along by a serious blunder that took fourtime champion Jeff Gordon out of contention late. Hamlin’s pit crew, unlike Gordon, made their mistake early enough in the race to recover.

Before the event was 200 laps old, Hamlin was penalized when his crew failed to control a tire on pit road. It dropped him from the lead to 22nd place. He was back in the top 10 by the midpoint, and stalking the leaders shortly thereafter. “The last 60, 70 laps played out how they needed to play out for us to win today,” Hamlin said. Hamlin also held off a five-lap, bumper-to-tail challenge from Brad Keselowski at the finish. There was some bumping and nudging, and a big wiggle for Hamlin in the final fourth turn, but Keselowski never caused him to spin. “We just weren’t going to be denied today, and hats off to Brad,” he said, thanking Keselowski for not wrecking him. “I did everything I could other than wreck him,” Keselowski said. The race was run without reigning rookie of the year Kyle Larson, who watched from a North Carolina hospital where he was undergoing testing after

fainting at an autograph session on Saturday. Regan Smith drove in his absence, finishing 16th. Keselowski was second, followed by Joey Logano, Kenseth and David Ragan, giving Joe Gibbs Racing three cars in the top five. The jolt was especially appreciated in a week when the team announced that President J.D. Gibbs is being treated for a “symptoms impacting areas of brain function,” an issue that has left doctors with very few answers thus far. Gordon, an eight-time Martinsville winner, took the lead for the first time with 58 laps to go and then got caught entering pit road too fast when the 16th and final caution came out with about 40 laps to go. The mistake put him well back in the field, and while he rallied to finish ninth, was left disappointed. “Wow. I’m sorry guys,” he said on the radio when told of the penalty. “That’s on me. I apologize.”

“It’s just like starting pitching. You’re going to need help. One thing I impressed upon him was to go down and be doing well when that time comes. Don’t get caught up in not being here for the start.” In all, the Mariners trimmed 10 players in reducing their camp roster to 28 with less than a week remaining before they break camp after Saturday’s game against Colorado in Scottsdale. Eight players were reassigned to minor-league camp: catcher John Baker, infielders Shawn O’Malley and Carlos Rivero, outfielder Endy Chavez, and pitchers Kevin Correia,

Hamilton and third-placed Nico Rosberg did in their Mercedes cars, and the clear air at the front of the field during that period proved the difference, as Vettel won by 8.5 seconds. Mercedes had won the previous eight races dating back to last season and had been expected to dominate

Mark Lowe, Jordan Pries and Joe Saunders. Effectively, that leaves the Mariners with just one decision: Do they keep Olson as a second lefty in their bullpen or hang onto Ramirez as a long reliever rather than risk losing him in a waiver claim? All clubs must reduce their roster to the 25 players by noon on April 5. Walker, 22, has long been regarded as one of the organization’s top prospects and will carry a streak of 18 scoreless innings into his scheduled start Monday against the Los Angeles Angels at Peoria Stadium. Elias, 26, was 10-12 with a 3.85 ERA last season as a rookie who made the jump from Double-A Jackson, but he gave up 12 runs and 26 hits this spring in 142⁄3 innings in five appearances.

“He hasn’t pitched well this camp,” McClendon said. “He needs to go down and get his innings. Get consistent. The one thing I impressed on him is I’m a big Elias fan. “I pushed hard for this young man to be on this club last year, but he’s got to get better. ... At some point, he has to be prepared to come back here and help this club. But at the same time, he’s got to be pitching well.” While 28 players remain in camp, two are likely to open the season on the 15-day disabled list. Players can be backdated five days on the disabled list from the start of the season. Shortstop Chris Taylor is recovering from a broken right wrist suffered March 13 against Milwaukee.

free agent. Outfielder Franklin Gutierrez, who was reassigned on March 20, also qualifies as a Rule XX (B) free agent. The Mariners are expected to release all four players but offer to re-sign them to minor-league deals not covered by the Rule XX (B) status. If so, that would provide all four players with a day or two to consider their options.

The Mariners’ late spring skid hit five games Sunday when the San Diego Padres built an early lead in a victory that closed this spring’s complex spring series in a 2-2 tie. Mariners starter J.A. Happ had a rocky three-run first inning that began with a first-pitch homer by leadoff hitter Wil Myers. Happ also gave up a homer to Matt Kemp that caromed off the batters’ eye and three singles. “I was being way too tentative early on,” Happ said. “I don’t really know what the reason for that is. It showed, and I was missing a little bit. I do feel good, and I finished strong.” Happ still gave up six runs (five earned) and 11 hits in five innings while walking two and striking out three. He threw 55 of 92 pitches for strikes. “As the ballgame went on,” manager Lloyd McClendon said, “he started to throw better, particularly in his last inning. It’s something to build on.” The loss dropped the Mariners to 1015-2 with five games remaining.

5 questions as Huskies begin spring practice By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The Washington Huskies football team begins spring practices at 8:15 a.m. Monday. Here are five questions to ponder as the Huskies embark upon their 15 workouts, which culminate with the April 25 spring preview at Husky Stadium.

1. Quarterback, anyone? This is Chris Petersen’s second spring practice as the Washington Huskies’ coach, and for the second time he enters the spring with the quarterback position far from settled. Cyler Miles, who started 12 of UW’s 14 games last year, has taken an indefinite leave of absence from the program, which means the Huskies will have three scholarship quarterbacks available in the spring — fourth-year junior Jeff Lindquist, redshirt freshman K.J. Carta-Samuels and freshman Jake Browning. Lindquist is the only member of that group who played in a game last year. Carta-Samuels drew praise from coaches for his performance on UW’s scout teams during his redshirt season.

And Browning, who graduated early from Folsom (California) High School so he could enroll at UW and practice in the spring, is a record-setting, highly-decorated recruit who some believe might already be good enough to compete for the starting job. They should all get their opportunity to prove something before the summer.

2. Who fills in on the O-line? The Huskies graduated three full-time starters here — Micah Hatchie, Colin Tanigawa and James Atoe, in addition to sometimes-starter Mike Criste — and return only fifth-year senior Dexter Charles from last year’s starting unit. Candidates to step into starting spots include third-year sophomore Coleman Shelton, who started seven games at right tackle last year; Siosifa Tufunga, a fifth-year senior who made five starts at guard last year; and fourth-year junior Jake Eldrenkamp, who spent last season as Hatchie’s backup at left tackle. Keep an eye, too, on Jesse Sosebee, Dane Crane and Shane Brostek.

3. Who plays on new defensive front? Just like the offensive line, the Huskies’ defensive line will be comprised entirely of new full-time starters. Gone are All-American de-

fensive tackle Danny Shelton and All-American outside linebacker Hau’oli Kikaha, in addition to tackle Evan Hudson and defensive end Andrew Hudson. The Huskies’ front four anchored their defense last season. It will not be nearly as experienced in 2015. Junior JoJo Mathis seems a likely candidate to see a lot more playing time, after recording 16 tackles and two sacks in spot duty last year. Elijah Qualls, a 6-foot-1, 305-pound third-year sophomore, is the likely replacement for Danny Shelton at nose tackle — but 6-foot-5, 329-pound redshirt freshman Vita Vea is another intriguing prospect. Jarett Finau, Will Dissly, and Taniela Tupou are other names to keep in mind.

4. Is Washington the guy at tailback? Dwayne Washington certainly looked like it at times last year, taking hold of the starting running back spot during the final weeks of the season and finishing with 655 yards and nine touchdowns — and a per-carry average of 5.5 yards. He was difficult to tackle in the open field — he scored touchdowns on runs of 51, 58, 60, 66 and 68 yards — but, like the rest of the Huskies, ended the season with a lackluster performance in the Cactus Bowl (13 carries, 42 yards). After battling an injury midway through the 2014 season that held him out of nearly three

full games, Washington will look to use spring as an opportunity to create more separation between him and third-year sophomore Lavon Coleman (who led the team last year with 138 carries) and sixth-year senior Deontae Cooper (who began to look more and more last season like his former self, before the three ACL reconstructive surgeries).

5. Competition in the secondary? With six of UW’s seven starters gone from its defensive front, the defensive backfield is all of a sudden the most experienced position group on that side of the ball. Starting safeties Kevin King and Budda Baker return, along with starting cornerback Sidney Jones. But there will surely be competition from incoming junior-college transfer Ezekiel Turner, as well as sophomore cornerback Darren Gardenhire, fifth-year senior safety Brian Clay and junior safety Brandon Beaver. Jermaine Kelly could be in the mix, too, after having his 2014 season cut short by an ankle injury. And while John Ross III had offseason knee surgery and is listed again at receiver, don’t be surprised to see him (eventually) factor into the mix at cornerback. Trevor Walker, a junior safety who tore his ACL in October, isn’t likely to be available in the spring.
