les on Tuesday. “It was flawless. It went off without a hitch,” said Capt. David Grobschmit, president of Puget Sound Pilots, who was on the ship during its trip into Seattle. “It was awesome. It’s been the lifelong goal of every pilot to handle a ship of that size,” Grobschmit said.
Guiding 200,000 tons
PORT ANGELES — Directing the largest ship to ever dock in North America into Elliot Bay in Seattle was “awesome,” said the president of the Puget Sound Pilots on Tuesday. Pilots boarded the Benjamin Franklin, one of the largest container ships in the world, in Port Angeles at about 3 a.m. Monday morning. They steered the huge ship on its inaugural run into Seattle and returned with it as the behemoth sailed past Port Townsend, Dungeness Spit and Port Ange-
The 200,000-ton ship was maneuvered into its berth at Pier 18 on Harbor Island by lead pilot Capt. Jim Schaffer, Grobschmit said. Electronics pilot Capt. Ed Marmol recorded the journey. Grobschmit and Shaffer got off in Seattle, where the ship was unloaded of electronics and other goods for such stores as Target and Best Buy and loaded with some of Washington state’s biggest exports, including lumber and apples.
“It was flawless. It went off without a hitch. It was awesome. It’s been the lifelong goal of every pilot to handle a ship of that size.” CAPT. DAVID GROBSCHMIT president, Puget Sound Pilots Capt. Peter Giese, accompanied by Marmol — who kept filming — piloted the ship out of the Port of Seattle. North Olympic Peninsula residents oohed, ahhed and snapped photos of the 1,310-foot-long cargo ship — which is twice as long as the Space Needle, nearly three times longer than the largest Washington state ferry and wider than a football field — as it made its way through Admiralty Inlet and the Strait of Juan de Fuca on Tuesday.

The sound of rain and sight of snowcapped mountains are indeed signs of a wetter-than-normal winter, according to the National Weather Service. But precipitation isn’t even close to a record on the North Olympic Peninsula, said Brent Bower, a weather service hydrologist. This season’s rainfall on the Peninsula ranges between just above average to the top third of rainfall records, Bower said. In Forks, where records have been kept since the late 1800s, 62.50 inches of rain had fallen during the “meteorological winter,” which is measured from Dec. 1 through the last day of February, according to National Weather Service records.
Standing records The average for the period is 48.24 inches of rain, with a record high of 86.83 inches in 1998-99 and a record low of 22.73 inches, 1914-15. “In that record-high year, they got almost 30 inches of rain a month for three months,” Bower said. Bower noted the record year — 199899 — was a La Niña year that shattered many rainfall records. That includes the record of 51.08 inches of rain at Quilcene, on the east side of the Peninsula, where the rainfall was plentiful this year but did not approach a record. In Quilcene, the weather service recorded 30.71 inches of rain during meteorological winter. TURN

Two sent to hospital by Highway 19 wreck Two-vehicle crash impacted traffic for an hour near Port Townsend BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT TOWNSEND — Two people were sent to a hospital Tuesday morning after a two-car wreck that slowed traffic for about an hour. At 9:02 a.m., a black Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck driven by Gabriel Shepherd, 19, of Port Townsend struck a Nissan Altima driven by Shantelle T. Hall, 18, of Chimacum.

Both vehicles were severely damaged and towed away, the State Patrol said.

Cosby trial update Bill Cosby’s criminal sex-assault case was temporarily halted days before a key hearing while a Pennsylvania appeals court considers his effort to have the case thrown out before trial. The Pennsylvania Superior Court granted Cosby a postponement Tuesday while the court decides whether to hear Cosby’s pretrial appeal. His preliminary hearing had been set for next week. Cosby, 78, is accused of drugging and molesting a Temple University employee in his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. He said he had a promise from a former district attorney that he would never be charged over his encounter with Andrea Constand. However, a different district attorney reopened the case last year and filed charges in December, weeks before the statute of limitations expired.

GEORGE KENNEDY, 91, the hulking, tough-guy character actor who won an Academy Award for his portrayal of a savage chaingang convict in the 1960s classic “Cool Hand Luke,” has died. His grandson Cory Schenkel said Mr. Kennedy died Sunday morning of old age in Boise, Idaho. Mr. Kennedy His film in 1968 career began to take flight in the early 1960s. He starred in 1963’s “Charade,” a whodunit that features Kennedy, Cary Grant, James Coburn and Walter Matthau seeking out the $250,000 they suspect was left behind by Audrey Hepburn’s dead husband. His other acting credits in the 1960s included “The Dirty Dozen” and “Guns of the Magnificent Seven.” His biggest acting achievement came in “Cool Hand Luke,” a 1967 film about a rebellious war hero played by Paul Newman who is bent on bucking the system as a prisoner on a Southern chain gang. Its theme of rebelling against authority and the establishment helped make it one of the most important films of the tumultuous 1960s. Mr. Kennedy played the role of Dragline, the chaingang boss who goes from
Setting it Straight Luke’s No. 1 nemesis to his biggest disciple as Newman’s character takes on folk hero status among fellow inmates. The movie garnered four Academy Award nominations, and Mr. Kennedy was named best supporting actor. After the critical and commercial success of “Cool Hand Luke,” Mr. Kennedy carved out a niche as one of Hollywood’s most recognizable supporting actors. He had parts in several action flicks in the 1970s, played Leslie Nielsen’s sidekick in the “Naked Gun” spoofs and was J.R. Ewing’s business rival in the final seasons of “Dallas.” One of his strongest supporting roles was in the hit 1970 film “Airport,” which spurred the run of 1970s disaster pictures. Mr. Kennedy played Joe Patroni, a no-nonsense, cigar-chomping troubleshooter who stubbornly guides a jetliner stuck on a snow-clogged runway out of harm’s way. The film spawned several sequels (Mr. Kennedy was in all of them) and landed Mr. Kennedy a Golden Globe nomination.

Obama, GOP leaders discuss court vacancy BY KATHLEEN HENNESSEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama called Democrats and Republicans to the White House on Tuesday to discuss the election-year standoff over the vacancy on the Supreme Court. Neither side showed signs of budging. In an awkward Oval Office sitdown that lasted less than an hour, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, delivered their case for refusing to consider any nominee to the highest court during the throes of a presidential election. Their Democratic counterparts, meanwhile, resolved to “continue beating the drum,” Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid told reporters after the meeting. The gathering was the first time the leaders have met since Justice Antonin Scalia’s death last month set off an election-year clash over the Supreme Court vacancy.
While the men huddled at the White House, the Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump was ready to pick up momentum in several state primary contests Tuesday. Democrats were quick to tie the Republican leadership’s stance to their party’s front-runner.
Fullfil Constitutional duty “All we want them to do is fulfill their Constitutional duty and do their job, and at this stage, they decided not to do that,” Reid said. “They think that they can wait and see what President Trump will do, I guess.” Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the ranking Democrat on the committee, also attended the meeting and posed for photos with smiles frozen to their faces. When reporters got too close to Grassley, Biden joked, “Don’t hurt Sen. Grassley. We need him.” The leaders ignored a report-
er’s question about whether their minds were open to changing their position, as aides shooed reporters from the room. At another time, the gathering might have been a nod to the tradition of at least limited cooperation in naming and confirming justices to the nation’s highest court. The president might have floated potential candidates; Senate opposition might have come armed with their own preferred names. But in the current standoff, gestures of collaboration seem moot. Neither side has indicated it will come with much more than talking points. “Look, the president is open to a discussion, but it would represent a pretty dramatic reversal in position for Mr. McConnell, who has said that the president shouldn’t put anybody forward, to come with a list of potential nominees,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday.

U.N. targets March 9 restart for Syria talks BEIRUT — The office of the U.N. envoy for Syria said he has pushed back the planned resumption of peace talks between the government and opposition groups to March 9 for “logistical and practical” reasons. Staffan de Mistura had earlier said the talks would resume March 7. Indirect talks held last month were abruptly susDe Mistura pended just days after they began, with the opposition saying it could not negotiate while the government was waging a major offensive around the city of Aleppo. The March 7 date was announced last week as a ceasefire accord brokered by the United States and Russia was taking effect. U.N. and other officials have said that the “cessation of hostilities” has largely held since taking effect Saturday.

World: Meteor suspected for bright Scottish flash
NEVADA IS EXPERIENCING the highest rate of syphilis in the Western U.S. following an outbreak in Las Vegas. It’s part of a national spike in cases tied to increased testing, a rise in anonymous sex via social media and less consistent use of condoms, health officials say. Social media’s link to syphilis among gay men, which account for a majority of diagnosed cases, has led health officials to take their educational outreach directly to the websites and apps, in some cases creating profiles or buying advertisements.
SOUTH DAKOTA’S GOVERNOR vetoed a bill Tuesday that would have made the state the first in the U.S. to approve a law requiring transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that match their sex at birth. South Dakota would have been the first state to take such a step. But Republican Gov. Dennis Daugaard rejected the bill after the American Civil Liberties Union, the Human Rights Campaign and transgender students and adults called the legislation discriminatory. In his veto message, Daugaard wrote that the bill “does not address any pressing issue” and that such decisions were best left to local school officials.

It was all by chance.”

Police Scotland said the force began receiving calls about 6:55 p.m. Monday, with people reporting a loud bang, a sudden blue, green or white light or a fireball in the sky. Several drivers caught the sudden flash and streak of light on their dashboard cameras. Driving instructor Bill Addison said it looked like “a bright, electric-blue spark.” “I thought it was a plane coming down at first, but it was moving too fast,” he said.

Washington’s new apple is joining a changing industry BY MANUEL VALDES THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WENATCHEE — Blanketed by winter snow, orchards are mostly idle around central Washington, the production hub of the nation’s top apple-producing state. But in a basement lab in the city of Wenatchee, Washington State University scientists are meticulously working. They slice, taste and measure appearance, firmness and crispness of dozens of apples, including a new variety dubbed “Cosmic Crisp,” a name inspired by white pores contrasting against its red skin. “Cosmic Crisp is the first big release the Washington industry is going to have all to itself,” said Kate Evans, a lead scientist at WSU’s Tree Fruit Research & Extension Center. Trademarked and focus group-tested, Cosmic Crisp was developed by the WSU lab throughout the past 20 years. For at least one decade, it will be available for planting only to Washington farmers. That type of restriction is a reflection of the increasingly fragmented apple industry, where major growers have moved away from relying on few varieties for their income.
Diversifying orchards Rather, many are diversifying their orchards, aiming to cash in on the premium prices of licensed niche apples and creating competition among breeders to develop the next big flavorful apple. “We used to grow all Red Delicious and Golden Delicious,” said Steve Lutz of Columbia Marketing International, a marketing firm owned by apple producers. “We’re taking what used to be a macro-market and cutting into smaller and smaller pieces with these new varietal apples.” The shift from relying on the Red Delicious brand became urgent after the Washington industry tanked in the 1990s, losing hundreds of millions of dollars and prompting a federal government bailout. Back then, many reasons were given for the slump, but chief among them was an oversupply of apples, especially the Red Delicious. While the industry has
recovered, reminders of its pitfalls were seen last year, when a combination of factors, including the West Coast ports shutdown and a high yield, led to the jarring image of millions of pounds of apples, mostly Reds and Goldens, left to rot in fields. In 1999, Red Delicious accounted for 51 percent of the share nationwide sales. By 2015, that number had dropped to 25 percent, according to data from the Washington Tree Fruit Association. Cosmic Crisp will join Kiku, Ambrosia, JAZZ, Opal, Braeburn, Pacific Rose, Snapdragon, SweetTango and other trademarked varieties aiming to take a bigger slice of the consumer market, which already includes the well-established Fuji, Gala and HoneyCrisp. Many of these varieties were developed through breeding programs in New Zealand, Canada, Japan and Europe. “This industry has been highly successful,” Lutz said. “When you’re very successful, you’re reluctant to throw out what you’re doing and be risky. We were late to start the breeding program.” American farmers have responded by partnering with universities. WSU is developing apples beyond the Cosmic Crisp, while Cornell University introduced the Snapdragon and RubyFrost, and the University of Minnesota made its mark with the highly successful HoneyCrisp, which became one of the best sellers nationwide. The HoneyCrisp “proved to sales, marketers and growers that we don’t have to be at 99 cents a pound. We can get retail sales up to the $2.99-a-pound range,” said Todd Fryhover, president of the Washington Apple Commission. The staple varieties, however, are still moneymakers and make up the biggest chunk of the apples exported. Next year, the first Cosmic Crisp trees will be planted, with the target of having the first sales in 2019. Should the Cosmic Crisp be successful with consumer taste buds, Washington farmers, who already grow 60 percent of the country’s apples, have the potential to reap all the benefits and recoup the money invested in the breeding program.

PORT ANGELES — A Sequim man who allegedly fired a semi-automatic handgun at a man on South Barr Road and pointed the weapon at another person Feb. 17 has pleaded not guilty to first- and seconddegree assault with a firearm. Keith Roberson, 55, faces an April 11 trial for an early morning incident that scared neighbors but
resulted in no injuries. Roberson is being held in the Clallam County jail on $250,000 bail. His trial is expected to take three days. Clallam County Superior Court Judge Christopher Melly on Friday scheduled a pretrial status conference for March 18.

Leapling named for luck, happiness PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — Named for luck and happiness, a new Sequim baby already has had the luck of a charmed birth date — leap day — and brought his parents happiness. Asher Brant Schaafsma was born Monday at Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles to Kelin Schaafsma, 27, and Ryan Schaafsma, 36, a Sequim couple who had anticipated the possibility of a leap day birth for at least six months. “Asher means happiness and luck,” Ryan Schaafsma said from the hospital room where his wife was resting Tuesday afternoon. Asher is the couple’s only child and the only KEITH THORPE/PENINSULA DAILY NEWS grandchild of Tom and Jacque Schaafsma. Ryan and Kelin Schaafsma of Sequim admire
their newborn infant, Asher Brant Schaafsma, who was born at 3:16 p.m. Monday, making him a leap year baby.
Next birth date: 2020 The newest member of the Schaafsma family won’t get to celebrate a birthday on his birth date until the year 2020. “We’re open to options. For three years of every four, we’ll let him pick a day,” the new father said. The new little “leapling” — the term for a person born on leap day — was born at 3:16 p.m. Monday; weighed 8 pounds, 9 ounces; and was 203/4 inches long. He was due Saturday, Ryan said, but the day passed with no sign of when Asher would make an appearance. Ryan said that when Saturday passed, many members of the family told the couple that first babies
were usually a week late. Kelin began going into labor Sunday. “We started to get excited,” Ryan said, noting that his great-grandmother was always associated with leap day in family lore. He said Ava Bahnub was born in 1900 — a year that skipped leap day to balance the calendar against the actual Earth’s orbit — so her birth on the day after Feb. 28 fell instead on March 1. “She just missed it,” he said. He said friend of the family Jack Tatom also has a leap day birthday. “For the last six months,

Most of the construction will be funded by a $10 million loan from the state Public Works Trust Fund. The loan will be repaid from the county’s Opportunity Fund for infrastructure projects over 30 years at 0.25 percent interest. The interest rate would double if the system is not operational by April 1, 2017. Clallam County also has $1.43 million available for the project in a special fund. The contractor will have 225 working days to complete the work, Martin has said. If the low bids hold up to scrutiny, they will negate what was previously projected to be an $819,000 shortfall for the Carlsborg sewer.

Safety notice is issued at state hospital Adler declined to discuss the CMS notice with the AP and referred questions to the Department of Social and Health Services, Behavioral Health Administration, which runs the facility. Carla Reyes, the agency’s assistant secretary, responded by releasing a statement that thanked the staff for reporting the incident and said they’re working to fix the problem. She said the hospital administers 9,500 doses of medication each day, but on Wednesday, a patient was given the wrong drugs. “Hospital staff are evaluating root causes for this situation and working together to identify solutions that will result in safer patients and improved quality of care,” Reyes said. The hospital’s safety policy requires nurses to confirm that the patient is correctly identified using at least two methods that could include a photo ID, asking the patient to identify himself and provide a date of birth, or have another staff member confirm the patient’s name, according to Adler’s note. The nurse must also ensure they’re giving the right drug in the right dose. Both houses of the Legislature have added funds for mental health and the psychiatric hospital in the upcoming budget, but some lawmakers have lost confidence in the way Western State Hospital is being run.

Gov. Inslee signs K-12 bill to answer Supreme Court Measure sets out plan to finance the way state pays for education BY DONNA GORDON BLANKINSHIP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Gov. Jay Inslee on Monday signed a bill that sets out a plan for finishing the Legislature’s work of reforming the way the state pays for K-12 education. The measure is the first bill the governor has signed this legislative session.
It is designed to answer the Supreme Court’s 2012 ruling — and its orders in the case since then — in the so-called McCleary decision that Washington’s school funding was not adequate or uniform. Inslee said he expected the measure would satisfy the court, which has held the state in contempt over the Legislature’s failure to make a plan for resolving
the remaining issues over paying the full costs of basic education while ending its overreliance on local tax levies. “It does advance a significant recognition by the Legislature that they need to act and have a full intention to act,” Inslee said after the bill signing ceremony. The government commended lawmakers for coming up with a bipartisan compromise on this issue, even though some were reluctant to do so. “This wasn’t easy. The

legislators worked hard on this for months,” Inslee said, adding that the next part won’t be easy either. “The next step before us is arguably the most complex, and I’m confident the Legislature is up to the task.” The measure would establish a task force to find the state dollars needed to replace some local levy spending and instructs the 2017 Legislature to finish the work. It also instructs the task force to make recommendations on teacher pay and asks for clarification on how local levies are being used today. The measure directs the task force to determine whether more legislation is needed to ensure all-day kindergarten and lower K-3 class sizes are possible in every elementary school in the state.

SEATTLE — As the state’s largest psychiatric hospital faces a deadline to fix safety problems or lose millions of federal funds, federal inspectors issued an “immediate jeopardy” notice saying the facility failed to protect patients from harm. Inspectors with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued the notice Thursday after saying a patient at Western State Hospital was given the wrong medication. The notice reflects a crisis situation in which the health and safety of people at the hospital are at risk. Hospital CEO Ron Adler notified staff about the situation in an email acquired by The Associated Press on Friday. The 800-bed facility received multiple warnings from federal regulators in 2015, including six immediate jeopardy notices in November. It had until Tuesday to fix those problems or face losing millions of dollars in federal funds. But late Friday, CMS sent a letter to Adler saying they were extending the termination date until April 1. Inspectors were at the facility last week to ensure changes were made after previous violations were found. They interviewed staff, inspected documents related to the use of seclusion and restraints, and checked on the hospital’s infection control systems, among other probes, according to notices sent to staff through the week. On Thursday, the survey team issued the jeopardy notice, Adler said in the email. “The hospital failed to ensure that staff members followed hospital policy, procedures and standards of practice for patient identification prior to medication administration and procedures,” the notice said. “This posed a serious risk of harm to patients.” Julie Bannester, spokeswoman for CMS, said the agency has no comment on the notice at this time because the survey is still in progress.

Sheriff: Shooter was meant Ship: Training to have surrendered guns BY GENE JOHNSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Authorities say a Washington state man who shot and killed his wife, her two sons and a neighbor last week had access to a handgun and five rifles or shotguns — despite being subject to a court order last summer requiring him to surrender any weapons in his control. A Kitsap County District Court commissioner ordered David Wayne Campbell to turn over any guns to law enforcement last July, when a former employee obtained a temporary protection order against him. The employee, Joe Gallegos, said Campbell had threatened him and pointed a .32-caliber pistol at him. But after a Mason County sheriff’s deputy went to Campbell’s house to serve the order, Campbell insisted he didn’t have any guns and filled out a court form to that effect: “I have not surrendered any firearms . . . because I do
not have any of those items,” the form said. Unlike a domestic violence protection order, the anti-harassment order Gallegos obtained did not authorize deputies to search the house to see if he was telling the truth, Chief Deputy Ryan Spurling said Tuesday. “It’s just an honor system,” Spurling said. “We couldn’t do anything more than what we did.”
Belfair incident Campbell called deputies Friday morning from his home near Belfair, southwest of Seattle, to report he had done something bad and was suicidal. Authorities said they negotiated with him for 3½ hours before trying to flush him out of his house with tear gas. That’s when Campbell came outside and killed himself. Investigators discovered the bodies of his victims in a chicken coop: Campbell’s wife, Lana J. Carlson, 49; her two sons adopted from
Kazakhstan, Quinn, 16, and Tory, 18; and a neighbor, Donna Reed, 68. A 12-year-old girl escaped uninjured; Spurling said Tuesday that Campbell told negotiators he was eager for her to get away from the house. Campbell had an extensive history of nonviolent crimes, including felony convictions in Pennsylvania, Wyoming and Missouri that barred him from possessing firearms. It’s not clear whether Campbell owned any of the guns, Spurling said. Campbell’s wife, Lana Carlson, came into possession of the handgun that Campbell appears to have used in the killings when her previous husband died, he said. Federal authorities are still tracing the long guns. Regardless of whether he owned the weapons, he had control of them and should have turned them over, Spurling said. Given Campbell’s long history of crimes of dishonesty, including fraud and impersonating a police offi-
cer, “it’s not surprising that he lied,” Spurling said. Gallegos, who worked for Campbell’s heating and air conditioning company, said Tuesday his old boss was angry that he was cooperating with a state investigation into whether Campbell had performed unlicensed electrical work.
Called to complain Gallegos said that when he learned Campbell had claimed not to have any guns, he called the sheriff’s offices in both Kitsap County, where he lives, and in Mason County, where Campbell lived, to complain. He was told he needed to go back to court to pursue the matter, he said. “If they’d just done what I asked — if they went out and talked to the family — they would have said, yeah, he’s got guns everywhere,” Gallegos said. “I don’t know what to say or do anymore. It’s just a horrible thing.” Investigators said Tuesday they might never know the motive for the killings.

Winter: Record rainfall amounts Wreck causes outage; CONTINUED FROM A1 The Quilcene record-low rainfall was 6.03 inches, recorded in the winter of 1927-28. Several records fell in Seattle this year, Bower said, adding it was unusual for Seattle to reach record rainfalls without the Forks area also achieving records. The difference this year was that the storms came mostly out of the south and stayed to the east, while in most years, the storms mostly come from the west and pass over both cities, he said.
The snow in the Olympic Mountains is just about normal, Bower said. On Tuesday, the four Snotel snow measurement stations in the range averaged 102 percent of average.
Snowpacks The Buckinghorse Snotel site, which measures snowpack in the southern Elwha River watershed, had 102 inches of snow, or 87 percent of average, on Tuesday. The Waterhole Snotel site, in the Morse Creek
watershed east of Hurricane Ridge, had 71 inches of snow, or 112 percent of average. Dungeness Snotel site, in the Dungeness River watershed, had 15 inches of snow, or 88 percent of average. In Jefferson County, the Mount Craig Snotel site, in the Dosewallips River watershed, had 71 inches of snow, or 106 percent of average. Long-term forecasts indicate the spring will be warm, with continued higher-than-average rainfall through the end of March, Bower said.
He said there is more than enough snow for summer water supplies, with at least another six weeks of snow to accumulate. “The above-normal temperatures will continue to plague us and increase water demand and quicken snowmelt,” he said. However, Bower noted, it is unlikely the region will experience another dry, lowriver-level summer like the summer of 2015.
OLYMPIA — The Legislature has passed a bill that would allow licensed growers to produce industrial hemp in Washington as part of a research program. Senate Bill 6206 cleared the House on a unanimous vote Tuesday after passing the Senate last month. It now heads to the desk of Gov. Jay Inslee. The measure would allow Washington State University to study if widespread hemp production in the state is feasible and if there’s a market for it. The university would

Diana came to Crestwood post surgically for removal of a left frontal lobe brain tumor. She was experiencing progressive weakness and confusion, along with word finding difficulties when she was hospitalized. She arrived with weakness specifically on the side of her body; she was unable to write or tie her shoes as she once had. Within days, Diane was able to maneuver in her wheel chair around the facility, always smiling and willing to work with her occupational, speech and physical therapists. She eventually graduated to using a rolling walker, improvising her balance and endurance in standing to complete valued tasks such as jamming with her husband, Ron, as he would frequently bring in their music book and play Bluegrass tunes. They have spent many years together attending Bluegrass festivals and it was evident that as Diane progressed in her therapy, she was able to easier engage in playing her baritone ukulele or guitar as Ron strummed his mandolin by her side, both singing to their hearts content, bringing smiles and tapping toes to those who stopped to listen. Within a few weeks, Diane progressed to walking without an assistive device and was found many times in occupational therapy doing the “electric slide,” confidently completing the grapevine with ease. By the end of her time at Crestwood, she easily was able to care for herself, completing her basic routine with independence, accessing medical appointments with her husband and socializing within the facility with ease. We wish her the best of luck and will miss her!!

Drugs found in Puget Sound fish, even cocaine BY LYNDA V. MAPES MCCLATCHY NEWS SERVICE
Puget Sound salmon are on drugs — Prozac, Advil, Benadryl, Lipitor, even cocaine. Those drugs and dozens of others are showing up in the tissues of juvenile chinook, researchers have found, thanks to tainted wastewater discharge. The estuary waters near the outfalls of sewage treatment plants, and effluent sampled at the plants, were cocktails of 81 drugs and personal-care products, with levels detected among the highest in the nation. The medicine chest of common drugs also included Flonase, Aleve and Tylenol. Paxil, Valium and Zoloft. Tagamet, OxyContin and Darvon. Nicotine and caffeine. Fungicides, antiseptics and anticoagulants. And Cipro and other antibiotics galore. Why are the levels so high? It could be because people here use more of the drugs detected, or it could be related to wastewater treatment plants’ processes, said Jim Meador, an environmental toxicologist at NOAA’s Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle and lead author on a paper published last week in the journal Environmental Pollution.
Higher than expected “The concentrations in effluent were higher than we expected,” Meador said. “We analyzed samples for 150 compounds, and we had 61 percent of them detected in effluent. So we know these are going into the estuaries.” The samples were gathered over two days in September 2014 from Sinclair Inlet off Bremerton and near the mouth of Blair Waterway in Tacoma’s Commencement Bay. The chemicals turned up in both the water and the tissues of migratory juvenile

From left, Michael Caputo, Richard Ramsden and Stuart Munsch collect fish in a beach seine in the Puyallup estuary. chinook and resident staghorn sculpin. If anything, the study probably underreports the amount of drugs in the water closer to outfall pipes or in deeper water, researchers found.
Soup of chemicals Even fish tested in the intended control waters in the Nisqually estuary, which receives no direct municipal treatment plant discharge, tested positive for an alphabet soup of chemicals in supposedly pristine waters. “That was supposed to be our clean reference area,” Meador said. He also was surprised that levels in many cases were higher than in many of the 50 largest wastewater treatment plants around the nation. Those plants were sampled in another study by the EPA.
Not monitored The findings are of concern because most of the chemicals detected are not monitored or regulated in wastewater, and there is little or no established science on the environmental toxicity for the vast majority of the compounds detected. Meador said he doubted there would be effects from the chemicals on human
health because people don’t eat sculpin or juvenile chinook, and levels are probably too low in the water to be active in humans. But one of the reasons the wastewater pollutants studied as a class are called “chemicals of emerging concern” is because so little is known about them. However, “you have to wonder what it is doing to the fish,” Meador said. His other recent work has shown that juvenile chinook migrating through contaminated estuaries in Puget Sound die at twice the rate of fish elsewhere. The drugs detected in the study could be part of the reason, as they have the potential to affect fish growth, behavior, reproduction, immune function and antibiotic resistance. The drugs selected for testing were chosen on the basis of their widespread use by people, the likelihood of their continued use and the potential for higher levels of contamination in the future as the human population in the Puget Sound region continues to grow. The results represent only a snapshot, and levels could be higher or lower, seasonally, depending on people’s use of drugs and volumes of treatment plant discharge. For instance, lev-
els of DEET (an insect repellent) and antihistamines are probably even higher in the summer. Some regional differences were detected. Substantially higher concentrations of DEET, caffeine, ibuprofen and female reproductive hormone were found in Bremerton effluent, compared with the Tacoma site, which researchers concluded could be due to differences in usage. The Puget Sound area contains 106 publicly owned wastewater treatment plants that discharge to local waters. The amount of drugs and chemicals from all plants into Puget Sound could be as much as 97,000 pounds every year, the study found. Unexplored were the presence and effect of drugs in predators that eat the fish and in other contaminated organisms that the fish eat, such as algae or invertebrates. The Nisqually estuary was more contaminated than expected with drugs, including cocaine, Cipro and Zantac. The source of the drugs there was unknown, the researchers reported. However, the Nisqually River, Nisqually Reach and McAllister Creek do not meet water quality standards for fecal coliform. That makes leaking septic systems a possible source of the drugs. Treatment plants in King County are effective in removing some drugs in wastewater, but many drugs are recalcitrant and remain. Jessica Payne, spokeswoman for the state Department of Ecology, said the agency needs more research funding to monitor the presence and examine the impact of chemicals such as those identified in the study. “Ongoing research is really our best tool to understand these chemicals,” Payne said.

WNPA OLYMPIA NEWS BUREAU
OLYMPIA — After four unsuccessful attempts by lawmakers in past sessions, sponsors of a state Voting Rights Act remain optimistic about action this year. An amended version of House Bill 1745 to enact a state Voting Rights Act passed out of the Senate’s Committee on Government Operations & Security on Feb. 2 and is awaiting a possible floor vote in the Senate. The bill cleared the House on a party-line 50-47 vote Feb. 4. “This is about making sure that all of our citizens have an electoral system that respects their vote and helps them to elect people from their communities that they choose,” said Rep. Luis Moscoso, D-Mountlake Terrace. Moscoso and the House have tried for years, unsuccessfully, to pass the state version of the federal Voting Rights Act, which aims to provide remedies for minority voters who believe they are being denied adequate opportunities to win elections. In some cases, the goal is to have district-based elections, rather than at-large general elections.
Compromise bill The bill has died in the Republican-controlled Senate in previous years, but sponsors and Gov. Jay Inslee are hoping a compromised bill can pass this year. “I’m optimistic that we have a real shot of getting the Voting Rights Act passed for the people of the state this year,” Inslee said in a news conference. Moscoso said a lot of the proposal’s recent support has been spurred by the successes of the federal Voting Rights Act’s application to the city of Yakima. The city was sued in 2012 under the federal law, and the courts determined that the city’s large Latino population had effectively been barred from holding spots on the city council because of the city’s at-large voting system. Despite making up more than 40 percent of the city’s population, Latino citizens had never been elected to the council. Following the ruling, Yakima switched to district voting and for the first time elected three Latinas to the city council in the city’s recent election in November. Moscoso also pointed to the results of Seattle’s recent elections after the city moved to district voting, saying it allowed people of different socioeconomic backgrounds to successfully run for the Seattle City Council. “It can be a good bipartisan win for good government,” Moscoso said. “It doesn’t have to be looked at simply as a Democrat or Republican maneuver against the other side.” This year, the Senate didn’t vote on its companion version of the bill before the deadline for passing bills from their house of origin. It was placed in the Sen-
ate Rules X-File Feb. 25 and is not expected to receive further consideration this session, the same fate it earned at the end of the 2015 session. Last year, the Senate voted along party lines to not bring the bill to a floor vote after honoring the 1965 March in Selma, Ala., and the 50th anniversary of the federal Voting Rights Act. For years, there had been a perception that the bill would have a negative impact for local jurisdictions and lead to an increase in litigation against cities. Recent talks to get the bill passed have included concessions by Democrats that ease some of the concerns of cities that fear the burden of having to pay for lawsuits under the act. “The perception that this is bad for local governments may have been holding some lawmakers back,” said Shankar Narayan, legislative director for the ACLU of Washington. The new legislation would simply be a tool to help local jurisdictions comply with the federal law, he said. The act would apply to elections held within certain political subdivisions including counties, cities, towns and school districts. It does not apply to state elections, elections in a city or town with a population under 1,000, or school districts under 250 students. Sen. John McCoy, D-Tulalip, said the proposal now safeguards municipal entities governed by elected officers from citizens filing a lawsuit under the state act if they are already filing under the federal act, though they can file a federal lawsuit at any point. “We do have support from a number of cities and counties,” McCoy said. “If that support is large enough, then we have a big possibility of making it happen.” Lori Augino, elections director for the Washington Secretary of State’s Office, said the agency has been a proponent of the federal law and supports measures that increase access to voting. The Secretary of State’s Office also proposed bills this session to automatically register qualified citizens to vote and to preregister 17-year-olds to vote. “The kind of access that voters in Washington have to the ballot is something you don’t see in other states,” Augino said. Moscoso said the issue is now in the hands of Senate Republican leadership. If the proposal doesn’t pass, he said, he and lawmakers have no problem pursuing it again. Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn, said she wants to see something passed on the bill but said there’s no way to predict how it will go. Roach is the chair of the committee that passed the amended bill Feb. 25. “We just have to let it play out. I don’t know what’s going to happen,” she said. “But I hope to get a bill.” McCoy, while optimistic, said he’ll believe the act is real when it makes its way to Inslee’s desk to be signed into law. “I’m hopeful,” he said. “But then again, I’ve been taken to the altar and gotten left before.” This story is part of a series of news reports from the Washington State Legislature provided through a reporting internship sponsored by the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association Foundation.

The new pollution I’VE BEEN FEELING a little weird lately, but I’m not going to waste valuable print space falling into the typical wilderness gossip columnist trap of going on about my medical problems. Maybe I’m just down Pat because of all the new catch- Neal and-release fishing regulations. I haven’t been able to club a fish lately. That used to make me feel better.

menopause talking. I started crying while watching a car commercial. I could have sworn I was experiencing some bloating, dizziness and other side effects that told me that I’ve been eating way too much fish lately. I started noticing these symptoms shortly after a recent news article described the 97,000 pounds of drugs, hormones and personal care product residues that are pumped into the water every year by 106 publicly owned wastewater treatment plants in Puget Sound. The chemicals are not monitored, regulated or removed from wastewater. A landmark study by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists found an alphabet soup of chemical residues in the tissues of young salmon that had to swim through Puget Sound. That could explain why these young fish have such a hard time
migrating out to the big world and becoming adults. Experiments with juvenile human offspring have shown that exposure to these chemicals that include nicotine, caffeine, OxyContin, Paxil, Valium, Zoloft and cocaine can produce the same results. These substances are called “Chemicals of Concern” since their effect on fish (and human) growth, behavior, reproduction and immune function is unknown. We don’t know what levels these chemicals are present in adult fish. We don’t know the effect on marine mammals who eat fish, but those at the top of the food chain like the humans would be the most vulnerable. The side effects of chemical experiments on self-medicating human subjects are well-documented, producing myriad antisocial, evolutionary dead-end behaviors from raiding the fridge

to robbing the liquor store. The potential dangers of a “coked-up” killer whale looking for more, a tweaker seal strung out on meth or a thousand-pound sea lion on an OxyContin binge should be fairly obvious to everyone by now. Still, there could be a bright side to the new pollution. Over the years, I have used just about every excuse there is for not catching a fish, from “The sun was in my eyes” to “I forgot my medication.” Nowadays, the reasons for not catching a fish are obvious. How else can you possibly explain fish jumping all around and you’re not catching one? The fish are on drugs. This new pollution has been discovered while the Department of Ecology is attempting to determine the exact amount of sea food each Washington citizen consumes in a year. That’s to set pollution levels for business and industry to meet
before it affects human health. Relying on humans to say what they eat is risky. As the NOAA study data indicates, many of the humans are on drugs, so how are they supposed to remember what or if they ate? How many times have you asked who ate the last cookie or all the ice cream? There is no reply. With the new pollution, it could be only a matter of time before fish come with labels warning you to not get pregnant or run heavy equipment after you eat them. I don’t know. It could be the chemicals talking.

Finding inspiration in lucky charms THE BEAUTY OF a lucky charm is that it doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else. It’s a personal attachment. Mine include a paperweight globe, shells, a stone with the word “inspire” inscribed. The globe is a reminder to keep things in perspective. The shells recall the year I taught dance throughout the Caribbean and how afraid I was at times. “But it’s good to be afraid sometimes,” the shells remind. “You pay closer attention when you’re afraid.” The stone is a gift from a friend who said one of my early columns inspired her daughter, Rose. “Really?” I said. “Because I remember thinking you wouldn’t like what I had to say.” Why did I say it anyway? For the same reason I keep my charms close: to remind me that risk is a huge part of it. By “it,” I mean my work, the most essential part of my life. But saying this is what I was

But she went to work for the huge, thrusting, economydriven tech world dedicated to making more and more stuff we don’t need. The last time I heard from her? February 2014. She gave reasons she had no time to write. So often, I’ve wondered what would have happened if she’d kept at it. If she’d allowed herself to go without mortgaging a condo and all the trendy furniture to fill it. I know how delicate a balance

Regulators withdraw proposed carbon-cap rule, plan changes BY PHUONG LE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PETE CASTER/THE CHRONICLE
HORSE
VIA
SEATTLE — State environmental regulators have withdrawn a proposed rule aimed at limiting carbon emissions from the state’s largest industrial facilities, saying they plan to refile another version with substantive changes. The proposed Clean Air Rule would have required the largest emitters to reduce carbon emissions by 5 percent every three years. Gov. Jay Inslee sought the rule last year after failing to get the state Legislature to pass his cap-and-trade plan. The rule’s basic concepts would remain the same, including a cap on carbon emissions that would be reduced over time, said Sarah Rees, the state Department of Ecology’s special assistant on climate change policy. But the agency heard from numerous groups and businesses and felt it needed more time to make changes in response to public input, she said Friday. “It would give us more time to finish, more time to continue working with stakeholders,” Rees said. “We’re still on a fast track. We’re still moving forward with an eye to finalize by summer 2016.” Environmental and other groups support the rule as a crucial step to limit greenhouse gas emissions and tackle climate change. Business groups and others worry it would hurt the state’s ability to attract and retain industries. Republican lawmakers have criticized the Democratic governor for taking executive action on the issue, and some have sought to prohibit Ecology from pass-

Fire breaks out in eatery’s chimney PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT TOWNSEND — Fire broke out in the chimney of The Tin Brick restaurant in Port Townsend on Tuesday morning. No injuries were reported,
two stories above the basement-level restaurant. Firefighters applied water from both the rooftop above and the kitchen below in an effort to put out the fire, Beezley said. The fire was declared out and crews went into overhaul at 11:14 a.m. Beezley said firefighters were challenged by the unusual configuration of the chimney. It included several horizontal runs in addition to vertical segments as it passed behind the Coldwell Banker business located on the ground and second floors of the building. The fire occurred almost one year after a similar fire broke out in the same chimney in April, Beezley said. Engine 91 from Naval Magazine Indian Island and an engine and ambulance from Port Ludlow Fire & Rescue assisted.
said Bill Beezley, East Jefferson Fire-Rescue spokesman. East Jefferson Fire-Rescue was called to the fire at 200 Taylor St. at 10:35 a.m. after people noticed flames coming from the chimney,

ing the rule. “The governor would rather have a rule that works instead of a rule that is rushed,” Inslee spokeswoman Jaime Smith said. The draft rule issued last month initially would have applied to about two dozen manufacturing plants, refineries, power plants, natural gas distributors and others that release at least 100,000 metric tons of carbon a year. Many more facilities would have been covered by the rule as that threshold dropped over time. No facilities on the North Olympic Peninsula would have been affected by the rule, officials have said. The agency said it needs to update several key areas, including clarifying compliance options and making considerations for manufacturers in Washington who face intense global competition. Rees said the decision to pull the proposed rule “doesn’t have anything to do” with a solar incentives bill that passed the House on a 77-20 vote but was amended Thursday in a Republicanled Senate committee. “We’ve been considering this for a long time,” she said. The Energy, Environment and Telecommunications Committee voted to amend House Bill 2346 so that provisions in the solar bill would expire immediately if regulators adopt a carbon-cap rule by June 30, 2016. An agency spokeswoman said it is working with the Attorney General’s Office and believes the state’s Clean Air Act allows the agency to create the rule. Ecology expects to file a new draft in a couple of months and finalize it by late summer.

Nice draw for Neah Bay Red Devils on bracket’s easier side

Two strides later, 3.3 seconds still remained — giving Thompson time to launch a gamewinning shot preceded by a blatant traveling violation either unseen or ignored by the refs. The Huskies have proven themselves capable of committing the late mistakes — along with many early ones — that prevent them victories older, more polished teams wrap up.

From the league’s official statement: “In reviewing the final sequence of a play in the Oregon State-Washington game, it was determined that the clock timing was handled appropriately by the game officials and the clock operator.” I think of the “Wizard of Oz” scene where the Wizard, revealed as a fraud, pleads “pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.” The Pac-12’s sheer gall in telling us to pay no attention to the clock that didn’t resume when it was supposed to resume reminds me of another movie: “1984,” based on the George Orwell novel about an antigovernment skeptic employed by his country’s Ministry of Truth.

ANGER IS BURNING in basketball circles throughout the state leading up to this weekend’s state championship tournaments in Tacoma, Yakima and Spokane. The WIAA’s draw Lee process for Horton setting state tournament brackets is under fire from all directions, as it is every season, but you shouldn’t hear Neah Bay complaining. This year’s ire stems from some of the state tournament matchups. In Class 4A and 3A, the top two teams in the final Associated Press rankings, both boys and girls, will not meet in the championship game because they are on the same side of the bracket. Then there is the Zillah boys team. There have been three elite teams in 1A this season: King’s, Lynden Christian and Zillah. They seemed on a crash course for a state championship for the past few months. The question all along was which team would be lucky enough to be in a different state bracket than the other two. Then that all fell apart. Lynden Christian fell to King’s in the District 1/2 tournament. The Lyncs took the second seed into the regional round. There, they faced District 5’s champion, which ended up being Zillah. The Lyncs lost to the Leopards, and were eliminated from the state tournament before even reaching Yakima. Tough break for Lynden Christian. Then the state’s 1A boys bracket was announced Sunday. Guess who Zillah has to play in the quarterfinals Thursday? Yep, King’s. So, rather than have an epic

M’s Paxton starts with new arsenal BY BOB DUTTON MCCLATCHY NEWS SERVICE

Mariners shortstop Ketel Marte fields a ball during spring training last week in Peoria, Ariz.
Marte ready to start BY JOSE M. ROMERO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PEORIA, Ariz. — Last spring, Ketel Marte wasn’t close to making Seattle’s opening day roster, optioned to Triple-A Tacoma just a few weeks into spring training. A year and a lengthy major league stint later, Marte is set to begin the season as the starting shortstop for the Mariners. He’s already in the lineup with many other regulars for the exhibition opener today. The 22-year-old Marte made his big league debut last July
31 after appearing in the MLB Futures Game for the World team and making the Pacific Coast League All-Star team. He finished the season with a .283 batting average in 57 games, and 19 of his 62 hits went for extra bases. He also played exclusively at shortstop from Aug. 15 to season’s end. “The only thing I have to do is keep working hard like how I did to get here in past years. I just have to be consistent, humble and hope everything goes well,” Marte said in Spanish. “I learned to play in the
minors. I learned that I can’t control the game, that if I carry humility with me day after day with how I work the success will come.” There’s a confidence with Marte, too. He said he wasn’t surprised he made the majors at a young age. “I worked for this. Things were going great last season,” Marte said. “If you work hard for something, you hope for days like this. You have to have fun and not be stressed.” TURN

PEORIA, Ariz. — Lefty James Paxton will have some new wrinkles in his pitching arsenal today when he starts the Seattle Mariners’ spring opener against San Diego at the Peoria Sports Complex. A new high fastball and a refined change-up. Pa x t o n honed both pitches last October and November under Lo-A Paxton Clinton pitching coach Rich Dorman while logging time in the Arizona Fall League after missing much of last season because of multiple finger injuries. “He’s great. I had him in A-ball,” Paxton said, “and we were working on fastball location, a high fastball and my changeup.” Paxton had no choice but to concentrate on those pitches because his recovery last autumn from a torn fingernail prevented him from breaking balls. “I think it helped me a lot,” he said. “My fastball command, I think, got better over that time.

BY BARRY WILNER Where are the All-Pros without contracts going? Nowhere, it appears. Super Bowl MVP Von Miller and fellow All-Pro players Josh Norman and Eric Berry were given franchise tags Tuesday, the league’s deadline to do so. In all, nine players were slapped with the franchise tag and one, Dolphins defensive end Olivier Vernon, got the transition tag. Broncos linebacker Miller was the only player to get the exclusive tag, at $14.129 million, meaning no other team can make him an offer. Panthers cornerback Norman and Chiefs safety Berry were
NFL among the eight who received non-exclusive designations, so other clubs can make offers, but their current teams have the right to match or get compensated with two first-round draft picks. Also getting tagged with free agency set to begin March 9 were Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins, Jets DE Muhammad Wilkerson, Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery, Ravens placekicker Justin Tucker, Bills tackle Cordy Glenn and Rams cornerback Trumaine Johnson. The players have until July 15 to work out a long-term contract with their teams.
If they can’t — and most franchises are eager to get these players locked up for several years — then the salary for 2016 is determined by the tag designation. Cousins would earn the most, $19.9 million, because quarterbacks have the highest tag number. Wilkerson would be next at $15.7 million. Miami decided against placing the franchise tag on Vernon, and this year’s transition number calls for defensive ends to receive $12.734 million. A transition tag allows the player to negotiate with other teams, but his current club has the right of first refusal to match any offer. Should Vernon leave, there is no compensation for Miami.

First lineup With the exception of right fielder/designated hitter Nelson Cruz, manager Scott Servais is expected to employ a lineup for today’s spring opener that could approximate his primary unit for the regular season: ■ Nori Aoki, left field. ■ Kyle Seager, third base. ■ Robinson Cano, second base. ■ Franklin Gutierrez, designated hitter. ■ Adam Lind, first base. ■ Seth Smith, right field. ■ Chris Iannetta, catcher. ■ Ketel Marte, shortstop. ■ Leonys Martin, center field. It’s subject to change before first pitch at 12:10 p.m. Pacific time, but the Mariners are taking a go-slow approach with Cruz, who contends he is fine and wants to play. Servais sounded cautious. “He’s still a little tender in the legs and his knee,” he said. “But he’ll be in there in the next couple of days. No issue. We just want to take it a little slow
with that.” The Mariners’ starters are expected to get two atbats before leaving. Plans call for Daniel Robertson to replace Aoki, Ed Lucas (Seager), Chris Taylor (Cano), Jesus Montero (Gutierrez), Gaby Sanchez (Lind), Stefen Romero (Smith), Mike Zunino (Iannetta), Luis Sardinas (Marte) and Boog Powell (Martin).
TV time There will be no TV coverage of today’s spring opener against Padres, according to Mariners’ officials, but 21 of the club’s 33 Cactus League games are currently scheduled to be televised. In addition to 16 games on Root Sports, five games will be televised by the opposing club’s network and should be available through the MLB television package. The first televised game is Saturday against the Angels in Tempe on the Angels’ network. Newcomer Wade Miley is scheduled to start for the Mariners. The first Root Sports telecast is Wednesday, March 9, against Kansas City at Peoria Stadium.
Zags’ Wiltjer, Sabonis make first team BY JIM MEEHAN MCCLATCHY NEWS SERVICE
SPOKANE — Gonzaga’s Kyle Wiltjer and Domantas Sabonis have been named to the All-West Coast Conference first team and guard Eric McClellan was voted defensive player of the year. Point guard Josh Perkins was selected to the All-Freshman team. The conference’s 10 head coaches vote on the AllWest Coast Conference teams and individual awards. BYU senior guard Kyle Collinsworth was selected player of the year. Collinsworth is the NCAA alltime leader in triple-doubles with 11.
College Basketball Randy Bennett, who guided Saint Mary’s to a cochampionship with Gonzaga and the No. 1 seed in the upcoming conference tournament, collected coach of the year honors, and Gaels guard Joe Rahon was named newcomer of the year. McClellan is the sixth Zag to win the top defender award, including Gary Bell Jr. in 2015. Wiltjer, a two-time AllWest Coast Conference selection, and Sabonis, who made second team last season, were joined on the first
team by BYU’s Collinsworth and Chase Fischer, Saint Mary’s Emmett Naar and Joe Rahon, Portland’s Alec Wintering, San Francisco’s Devin Watson, Pepperdine’s Stacy Davis and Santa Clara’s Jared Brownridge. Wiltjer led the conference in scoring at 20.8 points. He averaged 6.4 rebounds and made 73 3-pointers. Sabonis posted 19 double-doubles and averages 17.2 points and a conference-leading 11.9 rebounds. McClellan often drew the assignment of guarding the opponent’s top perimeter player. Gonzaga limited conference foes to 39.5 percent from the field and
ranked among the best nationally in 3-point percentage defense (28.5).
Barta picked for women’s first team Gonzaga forward Jill Barta is one of 10 players named first-team All-West Coast Conference, the league announced Tuesday. Barta, a 6-foot-3 redshirt freshman from Fairfield, Mont., averaged a teamhigh 16.3 points a game in conference play for the Bulldogs, who face Santa Clara in a conference quarterfinal game Thursday in Las Vegas.

crucial to a team as short on depth as Neah Bay — coach Stan Claplanhoo mostly uses a six-man rotation. The Red Devils have a favorable first-round matchup, against Taholah, which they defeated 88-65 in December. (Then again, the Neah Bay girls also routed Taholah in December, only to lose to the Chitwins at regionals last week.) If the Red Devils win that game, they’ll have a tough semifinal matchup against either third-ranked Garfield-Palouse or Sunnyside Christian.
The Knights weren’t ranked in the final AP poll, but they spent much of the season in the top 10, and they’re always tough in the tournament. Neah Bay knows that as much as anyone, having lost to Sunnyside Christian in the 2011 and 2013 state championship games. So it won’t be easy for the Red Devils. But it probably won’t be as difficult as it could have been.

PEORIA, Ariz. — The Seattle Mariners have finalized a major league contract with Cuban outfielder Guillermo Heredia. Heredia has not played competitive baseball since 2014 and defected from Cuba last year. The Mariners said he hit .285 with 23 homers and 121 RBIs over 374
games during six seasons with Matanzas. Heredia was at Seattle’s training camp Tuesday, awaiting completion of his deal. The Mariners placed catcher Jesus Sucre on the 60-day disabled list. He had surgery Jan. 26 to repair damage in his right ankle, a week after fracturing his right fibula during winter ball in Venezuela.

Rays’ game in Cuba finalized THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The Tampa Bay Rays’ exhibition game against Cuba’s national team in Havana on March 22 has been finalized, Major League Baseball’s first trip to the communist island nation since the Baltimore Orioles played there in 1999. MLB and the players’ association announced the game Tuesday. It will be televised by ESPN and ESPN Deportes. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says “during a time of historic change, we
appreciate the constructive role afforded by our shared passion for the game, and we look forward to experiencing Cuba’s storied baseball tradition and the passion of its many loyal fans.” Manfred drew the Rays on Nov. 13 from a bin of teams that wanted to make the trip. U.S. teams played spring training games in Cuba before Fidel Castro’s revolution but none appeared there from March 1959 until the Orioles faced Cuba’s national team in Havana in March 1999.

Fiancee’s past produces doubt

Fun ’n’ Advice
DEAR ABBY: My fiancee and I have known each other since high school. I was the “good kid” with honors and the right parents. She was considered trouble and didn’t have the best home life. Rumor had it that she moonlighted as a stripper our senior year, but I always blew it off as false. Fast-forward 12 years: I ran into her recently, and we decided to have dinner. I fell in love with her on that date. A few months went by, and I mentioned the rumors. She wasn’t upset and matter-offactly explained that she did start stripping in high school and continued through college. It bothered me, but the benefits of being with her far outweighed the negatives. Now that we are engaged, she told me she had to “come clean.” She said there were times in college when she had sex with some of her regular clients. I am floored. She basically admitted she had prostituted herself. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to blame her for her past indiscretions, but this is a big deal. I don’t know how to let it go. Advice, please. Guy Who Needs Advice

DEAR ABBY Dear Abby: I met a guy named Van Buren “Ryan” about 10 weeks ago. We hit it off right away. I admit I had a little crush on him. About a week after we met, he came out to a group of our mutual friends (me included) as gay. I’m very supportive of him, and it didn’t change anything between us at all. Over the past several weeks, we have grown to be best friends and continue to grow closer and closer. Once I found out Ryan was gay, the rational and practical part of me took over and squashed the crush I had on him in the beginning. But now that feeling is coming back even stronger. I know our relationship can never be anything more than platonic. I guess I’m just asking how I can get over him while still maintaining our close friendship, because ultimately, that means the world to me, and I don’t want to lose it. Friend Only in Washington, D.C.
Abigail
Dear Guy: You now see your fiancee clearly — warts and all. The problem with “falling in love” (what I define as infatuation) is that you don’t yet know who the person is. Regardless of how your fiancee financed her education, she deserves respect for being honest with you. She has done as much as she can to improve her life. You must now ask yourself if you can see past her past, and if she is someone you would be happy spending the rest of your life with. Remember, I live in Los Angeles, and in this town, her revelation wouldn’t necessarily be a dealbreaker.
by Jim Davis
Dear Friend Only: It’s not easy to think rationally when emotions are involved. Ryan may have everything you want in a man, but he will not be a romantic partner for you. If spending time around him becomes too painful, you may have to put some distance between the two of you until you regain your emotional balance.
