Port Townsend burglary suspect appears in court Transient jailed on $25,000 bail following crimes BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT TOWNSEND — A 37-year-old transient charged with two counts of residential burglary who police say is a suspect in three others made his first court appearance Tuesday. Rusty Ray Fisher appeared on video monitors inside Jefferson

County Superior Court, at which time Judge Keith Harper granted a prosecution request to impose a $25,000 bail. As of Tuesday evening, Fisher remained in custody at the Jefferson County jail in Port Hadlock. Fisher is currently charged with two counts of residential burglary and one count of malicious mischief. His court-appointed attorney is Richard Davies of Jefferson Associated Counsel. Port Townsend police arrested Fisher following two burglaries. At 8:23 Friday evening, police

say a juvenile witness in the Castle Hill neighborhood reported that someone had cut the screen in his house and attempted to gain entry to his room. When the intruder saw the witness, he fled, according to police.

More calls A few minutes later, a similar call came in with a witness stating that someone had put his hand into a window at her house. She confronted the man and he ran away. TURN

ARREST/A5

PORT ANGELES — A revitalized Clallam County Economic Development Corp. has made good use of a $150,000 appropriation from the county, EDC Executive Director Bill Greenwood said Tuesday. “I want to report that we have upheld our end of the bargain,” Greenwood told county commissioners in their weekly work session. The EDC, a private nonprofit organization that assists businesses in the county, met with 110 companies and doubled its membership in 2015, Greenwood said. “This membership growth gives us the confidence to report that the EDC now, through its members, is what it was meant to be — the economic engine of Clallam County,” Greenwood said in an annual report to the board. The EDC used the $150,000 appropriation from the county’s general fund to hire new staff in 2015.

Another payment Commissioners next month will consider making another $150,000 payment for EDC activities in 2016. Before supporting the appropriation, Commissioner Mark Ozias requested “a lot more detail” from the EDC on its budget, accomplishments and plans for the future. “Good approach,” Commissioner Bill Peach said. Commissioner Mike Chapman suggested that EDC officials respond to Ozias’ request in a public work session Feb. 2.

Bill Greenwood Commissioners will consider approving the $150,000 payment from the county’s Opportunity Fund on Feb. 3. Last year, commissioners were asked to support the fledgling EDC in a new initiative to “set the table for economic growth; to identify, understand and align the economic drivers throughout the county; and to be the advocate for Clallam County commerce.” Clallam County had already provided $30,000 annually to the EDC. Commissioners authorized the extra $150,000 payment in March. The idea was to budget $150,000 for the EDC in 2016 and $150,000 in 2017, subject to annual board approval and reports from the EDC. “We’ve already executed the contract for the base $30,000 that was in the budget,” County Administrator Jim Jones said in the work session.

Port Gamble suit might offer hope to PA Council votes to join amicus brief BY PAUL GOTTLIEB PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — For city officials, the road to financial help in cleaning up west Port Angeles Harbor might point 55 miles southeast to Port Gamble Bay. The bay is central to a legal challenge by a company that last year unsuccessfully sued the state Department of Natural Resources in Kitsap County Superior Court to help fund cleanup of the inlet there.

Passings By The Associated Press

GLENN FREY, 67, as the Eagles co-founder, singer and songwriter, mastered the mix of rock ’n’ roll and country music, and the band’s hits — including “Hotel California” and “Take It Easy,” both co-written by Mr. Frey — helped define the 1970s. Mr. Frey died Monday of complications from rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia in New York. He formed the band with Don Henley in 1971 in Los Angeles. Mr. Frey and Henley came from humble beginnings after playing backup to another legend, Linda Ronstadt, and later forming the Eagles when signing with David Geffen’s Asylum Records. Their sound would go on to successfully blend rock and country — something others tried but was mastered by the Eagles. Who else has won Grammy Awards — stretched across 1975 and 2008 — in the rock, pop and country categories? The band released some of the most popular songs of the 1970s: “Take It Easy,” written by Mr. Frey and Jackson Browne, is irresist-

ible with Mr. Frey singing lead and the band’s harmonies intact, and “Hotel California,” the Mr. Frey moody soft rock track, is in 2012 a classic. “Hotel California” was just one of the Eagles’ tunes to peak atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart: “Heartache Tonight,” “New Kid in Town,” “One of These Nights” and “Best of My Love” also went to No. 1. Mr. Frey and Henley wrote most of their hits and were known as one of the top songwriting teams. Two of the band’s albums would go on to rank among the top-selling albums ever released: “Eagles, Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)” and 1976’s “Hotel California” each sold more than 20 million copies. It’s a rare feat for an artist of any genre and made the Eagles the best-selling American group of all-time. The band, however, called it quits in 1980 in dramatic fashion at a political fundraiser as threats were

After they disbanded, Mr. Frey recorded solo albums and achieved hits with the songs “You Belong to the City” and “The Heat is On.”

1941 (75 years ago) Dr. Donald Black of Port Angeles, state senator from the 24th District, said here Sunday he expects to introduce a Senate bill in the next few days asking for a survey of a proposed new shortcut highway from the Olympic Peninsula to Seattle and a study to determine feasibility of a toll bridge across Hood Canal. The new plan, Black said, in part follows closely the survey made by the state highway department a year or two ago for a short connection to Seattle but is much different in other respects and cuts off still more distance. It eliminates the Agate Pass bridge proposal. The plan calls for a highway from the head of Discovery Bay in a southeasterly direct line about 14 miles to a point on Hood Canal some 5 miles southwest of Shine, following in general the recent highway

Future use of the Ediz Hook site of the former Standard Shingle Mill is in serious doubt at present. The “fire” sighted recently on the Hook results from clearing operations on the site of the mill, which partially burned down more than two years ago. Under the terms of its lease, the city started eviction procedures last May to open the property for use by other people. Meanwhile, four men have purchased outstanding stock of Standard Forest Products Inc., the lease-holder. The city has decided to proceed with the eviction and notified the group the city will seek damages for the destroyed buildings if the suit is successful. The lease was cancellable if the property was not

Tom Rogers is scared. He thinks of the thousands of soldiers fighting the first war since Vietnam, and he remembers himself at 17 volunteering to fight for his country in 1964. When he came home, he faced a hostile public that focused their hatred of the war on him and his fellow veterans. “I’ve sat and watched the news for four days straight, and it scares me because I know what they’re looking at,” said Rogers, a Forks resident. “I really didn’t want to see this.” Rogers was one of five Peninsula Vietnam veterans who took time out from a weekly rap session at the Family Counseling Center to talk about reactions to the attack on Iraq.

A4 Briefly: Nation Flint mayor is seeking federal water crisis aid DETROIT — The mayor of Flint, Mich., is in Washington hoping to meet with President Barack Obama’s administration about the city’s water crisis. Mayor Karen Weaver joined Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign on a conference call Tuesday. She said Obama “needs to hear Weaver first-hand what’s going on in Flint.” Corrosive water from the Flint River has caused lead to leach from old pipes into homes. A state-appointed emergency manager approved the switch from Detroit’s water system to save money in 2014. But tests later showed high levels of lead in the blood of some local children.

increases in murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault. Burglary and arson crimes, however, dropped in the first six months of last year, the FBI said. Crime in the United States drew public attention last year as many major American cities reported spikes in the number of homicides in their communities. The FBI statistics, pulled from 12,879 law enforcement agencies, show a 6.2 percent jump in murders from January to June 2015.

Levinson not in Iran?

WASHINGTON — U.S. officials believe Robert Levinson might no longer be in Iran, a White House spokesman said Tuesday, vowing that the U.S. would keep up the search for the former FBI agent who disappeared from an Iranian resort nearly nine years ago. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the U.S. has received assurance from the Iranian government it would search for Levinson. The commitment came amid broader negotiations over the return of several other Americans detained in Iran.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to an election-year review of President Barack Obama’s executive action to allow up to 5 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally to “come out of the shadows” and work legally in the United States. The justices said they will consider undoing lower court orders that blocked the plan from taking effect in the midst of a presidential campaign already roiled by the issue.

Last year’s deficit registered $439 billion, the lowest of President Barack Obama’s term in office.

A GREYHOUND BUS rolled onto its side during a rainy Tuesday morning commute in Northern California, killing two women and sending five other people to the hospital, authorities said. An additional 13 victims suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene in San Jose, city fire Capt. Christopher Salcido said. Four people were taken to hospitals with major to moderate injuries, and a boy went as a precaution after the bus flipped on its side on Highway 101, a major commuting thoroughfare, California Highway Patrol Officer Chris Miceli said. The bus landed on the center divider around 6:40 a.m., Miceli said.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL Ted Cruz received an antiendorsement Tuesday from the governor of Iowa, host of the country’s lead-off presidential caucus, on account of his failure to support renewable fuels like ethanol. Gov. Terry Branstad, a Republican who has not endorsed any of the GOP presidential candidates for president, said at a renewable fuels conference near Des Moines that Iowans should reject Cruz because he supports phasing out the fuel standard. His comments, which come within two weeks of the state’s critical Feb. 1 caucus, could resonate with state farmers who grow the corn used in ethanol.

JUST AS A trial was to begin, Major League Baseball and its fans reached agreement Tuesday to expand the menu of online packages for televised games. The deal came weeks after baseball’s lawyers told a judge that for the first time, the league was going to let fans buy single-team packages for fans who watch games online. In the past, viewers who didn’t live in their favored teams’ home markets had to buy access to every single televised MLB game. Ned Diver, an attorney for fans who filed the class-action lawsuit in 2012, confirmed the preliminary settlement, though he did not immediately describe the terms.

SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE been detained and are being questioned in connection with the weekend attack on a hotel and cafe in Burkina Faso’s capital that killed about 30 people, the country’s security minister said Tuesday. Minister of Security Simon Compaore would not give details, citing an ongoing investigation. He and Foreign Affairs Minister Alpha Barry also met with diplomats, reassuring them that Burkina Faso will remain a safe place despite the attack by al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb. Patrols and check points have been set up on main roads around the country, and security personnel has been increased.

“This [$150,000] is also in the budget, but it was with the understanding that the board would decide whether to execute [the contract] or not.” The Opportunity Fund is a portion of state sales tax dedicated to rural infrastructure and personnel in designated economic development offices. Greenwood thanked commissioners for the county’s “exceptional support” and described 2015 as a “powerful year of growth” for the EDC. “By contrast, in April of 2014, the organization was in disarray with an executive director and one half-time staffer,” Greenwood said. “The board of directors numbered 28. It was the most upside-down organization I had ever seen. There was no playbook and virtually no records. “Confidence in the EDC was clearly low, and support for the EDC was drifting rapidly away,” he added. The EDC board dissolved itself last March in hopes that a smaller 13-member board would initiate better outreach to businesses and the public.

One week later, Chapman, Peach and former Commissioner Jim McEntire unanimously approved the one-year, $150,000 appropriation. County funding represents half of the EDC’s budget, Greenwood said. Greenwood and fellow staffers Jennifer Linde and Amy McDonald are working as a “cohesive team” to recruit new businesses and help existing businesses succeed, Greenwood said.

Focus in 2015 “Our most powerful focus in 2015 was on the businesses of the county,” he said. “Our second mission, business recruitment, is one that must be pursued with alacrity. “The EDC, with all the tools and data from [the state Department of] Commerce, is recruiting hard in our county,” Greenwood added. “In this regard, we have many projects underway, but we remain understaffed in terms of execution.” The Clallam County EDC competes with similar organizations in Washington and other states, said

Doug Sellon, vice chair of the EDC Board of Directors. Sellon added that the smaller board has helped the organization function more effectively. “We have that rudder now that keeps us on course,” Sellon said. “We’re adding more and more business members that put some money in the sail that makes it go.” Greenwood said the EDC needs more staff to recruit to its potential. “We need to win the recruitment battle in order for Clallam to become a more diverse economy and to employ more citizens,” Greenwood said. “Because recruitment is a sophisticated process, we desperately need another highly qualified team member who can partner with me on the effort.” “A person who would be right for the job would require that our organization be financially strong and well-supported for the long haul, which it is not today,” Greenwood added. “That is why we very much hope that you will not only approve your budgeted commitment to the EDC for the coming year, but also for several more

years in the future.” Ozias also requested a breakdown of the EDC budget and more information about how it measures outcomes.

Outcome measurement “It’s nice to measure activity based on the number of meetings that you’ve held, but I’d like to know more about what actually results from those meetings so that I have a better understanding of that,” Ozias told Greenwood. “I’d like to hear about what you’ve learned from your visits with local business owners and how that’s going to impact your work and your plans moving forward.” Chapman said a public response to Ozias’ request for more detail would assuage public concerns about how tax dollars are being spent. “It’s also good for you to tell your story,” Chapman told Greenwood. “It’s a great story you have to tell this year.”

Preventing, handling emergencies on water to be topic of PT talk BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT TOWNSEND — The failure to recognize unexpected changes in circumstances is the cause of most maritime rescues, according to a Port Townsend man who is a veteran of such situations. “A common mistake is keeping an objective you can’t meet anymore because conditions have changed,” said Northwest Maritime Center facilities director Erik Wennstrom, a waterrescue veteran. “People are determined to cross the Strait on a certain day. When things go wrong, they don’t back up and question their original assumptions,” he said. Wennstrom will tell stories about remarkable rescues and provide tips on preventing emergencies in a presentation at noon today at the Northwest Maritime Center, 431 Water St. The presentation, part of the monthly Wooden Boat Wednesday program, is free and open to the public.

He’ll discuss what went wrong and what could have been done differently in several scenarios, with the goal of urging people to consider some changes in boat handling and instructing them on how to become more resourceful in the event of an emergency.

“People need to be rescued because they hang on to a set of priorities they cannot reasonably meet or aren’t skilled enough to deal with,” he said. “They should drive the boat they have and not the boat they think they have. Once a boat catches fire or takes on water, it is not the same boat anymore.” Mariners who get into trouble because they misjudge the weather or the

tide don’t call for help soon enough, he said. “Most mariners will be far into trouble before they call the Coast Guard,” he said. “But if they get into a situation where there is real risk and they can’t fix it in 90 seconds, they should call for help.” Wennstrom said that help can always turn back if it isn’t needed, but if a boater spends 20 minutes trying to solve a problem and then calls for help, the situation can become even more severe. To prepare for trouble, mariners need to work outside their comfort zone, he said. “If you don’t push your skills in an intentional way, you will never get good enough to deal with emergencies,” he said. “If you will only go out on flat water, you won’t know what to do when it gets rough.” Waters around Port Townsend are often somewhat rough, with the area off Point Wilson being especially volatile.

Mother killed in front of daughter ID’d; man charged THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TACOMA — The Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified the mother who was fatally shot in front of her 5-yearold daughter outside their home. The office said 46-yearold Teresa Ryan of Puyallup died in Monday’s shooting. The News Tribune reported that 19-year-old Austin Nelson pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges Tuesday. Authorities believe Nelson was upset over “a bad breakup” with the victim’s

teen daughter, who was not home when the shooting took place. The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department said Nelson also forced his way into the South Hill home and fatally shot a dog.

Multiple shots The mother was driving home Monday morning when the suspect confronted her as she was leaving her car. She was shot multiple times. The 5-year-old girl was in the backseat of the car at the time and wasn’t hurt.

JAY CLINE/CLALLAM COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT NO. 2

An early morning wreck west of Port Angeles that involved a 1990 Mitsubishi pickup, above, and a 2014 Dodge Ram injured two men Tuesday.

Wreck on icy 101 injures two drivers BY ARWYN RICE PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — Two men were injured in a morning wreck on icy roads 9 miles west of Port Angeles early Tuesday. John D. Devine, 57, of Sequim was treated for his injuries and released at Olympic Medical Center, according to a hospital spokeswoman. Jeffrey C. Fitzgerald, 31, of Port Angeles was transported by ambulance to the medical center, but the hospital had no record of Fitzgerald as a patient, the spokeswoman said. According to the State Patrol report, at about 6:20 a.m., Fitzgerald was driving a red 1990 Mitsubi-

shi pickup truck eastbound on U.S. Highway 101 at Milepost 235, near Granny’s Cafe. Devine, driving a blue 2014 Dodge Ram 250 pickup, was traveling westbound on Highway 101. The Mitsubishi hit a patch of ice, and Fitzgerald lost control and crossed into the westbound lane, the report said. Devine attempted to avoid the Mitsubishi but struck it in the westbound shoulder, the State Patrol said. The Dodge came to rest in a field off the roadway, with the Mitsubishi blocking the westbound traffic lane. Clallam County Fire District No. 2 responded to

the wreck to assist, said District Chief Sam Phillips. Firefighters established traffic control and cleaned up fluids spilled from the vehicles, coordinating with Washington State Patrol. The road was closed for about three hours for the response and investigation, Phillips said. The state Department of Transportation provided de-icing and salt trucks to the scene to prevent further incidents. Neither drugs nor alcohol were thought to be factors in the collision, according to the State Patrol report. Fitzgerald was cited for speed too fast for conditions, the report said.

Bill would prohibit agency from setting carbon cap PT BY PHUONG LE

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE — A new bill takes aim at Gov. Jay Inslee’s carbon policies by prohibiting state regulators from adopting rules that limit greenhouse gas emissions without legislative direction. The measure, sponsored by Sen. Doug Ericksen, R-Ferndale, targets the Democratic governor’s ability to take executive action on the issue. After failing to get legislation passed on his capand-trade plan last year, Inslee directed the Department of Ecology to limit carbon pollution using its existing authority under state law. This month, Ecology proposed a draft rule requiring Washington’s largest industrial emitters to reduce carbon emissions by 5 percent every three years. The proposed Clean Air Rule would initially apply 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 be covered by the rule as that threshold is lowered over time. At a bill hearing Tuesday, Ericksen said lawmakers should be making those decisions and Ecology’s proposed rule should be put on hold. Ericksen heads the Senate Committee on Energy and Environment & Telecommunications, where Senate Bill 6173 was heard. Ericksen, a vocal critic of Inslee’s carbon policies, said the proposed carbon rule would encourage companies to curtail operations or not build in Washington state. The rule, combined with potential ballot initiatives addressing greenhouse gas emissions, sends a bad message to job creators and would hurt working families, Ericksen said. Inslee spokeswoman Jaime Smith declined to comment on the proposal. Ecology officials say the rule is needed to protect human health and the environment from climate change. Vlad Gutman, the state director of Climate Solutions, testified against the bill, saying the state has an opportunity to lead on this

issue. He said Ecology’s rule would create jobs, slow climate change and improve public health. Brandon Houskeeper with Association of Washington Business, which supports the bill, told senators there are already many laws and rules that encourage energy efficiency, clean energy and other carbon reductions. Meanwhile, several proposals are being floated to tackle climate change in Washington. Sen. Steve Hobbs, a Democrat from Lake Stevens, is sponsoring a bill that charges a fossil fuel carbon pollution tax of $8 per metric ton of carbon dioxide. Carbon Washington has proposed a $25 tax on every metric ton of carbon dioxide; the group has turned in more than 350,000 signatures in an effort to qualify Initiative 732. Another group, the Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy, is planning a statewide ballot initiative. It likely would impose new fees on carbon pollution and direct the money for clean energy and other projects.

man wanted in assault is arrested 34-year-old allegedly bit wife BY ARWYN RICE PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — A Port Townsend man wanted for allegedly assaulting his wife earlier this month was in custody Tuesday in Port Angeles. Sean Louis Washburn, 34, was booked into the Clallam County jail Monday and was being held on $110,000 bond Tuesday afternoon. “He was taken into custody [on a] Jefferson County Superior Court arrest warrant that was issued as part of the domestic violence case,” said Detective Luke Bogues of the Port Townsend Police Department. Washburn was being sought for investigation of domestic assault, being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of a controlled substance, according to Port Townsend police.

Port Angeles Deputy Police Chief Brian Smith said his department received a call Monday with a tip that Washburn was at the shopping center in the 600 block of South Lincoln Street.

Play splits open shell of president’s mother BY DIANE URBANI DE LA PAZ

Sequim’s Carol Swarbrick portrays Lillian Carter in “Miss Lillian Speaks,” her one-woman show at the Clallam County Democrats’ downtown Port Angeles headquarters Saturday.

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — People would ask Lillian Carter: Was it your best day when your son Jimmy was inaugurated as president of the United States? “I had so many best days,” she answers, starting with the day she was born into this life. Listeners may step inside this personal history in “Miss Lillian Speaks,” a one-woman show starring Carol Swarbrick, at the Clallam County Democrats headquarters Saturday evening. An internationally known stage and television actress who lives in Sequim with her husband, Jim Dries, Swarbrick will give a single performance at 7 p.m. at the Democrats’ venue, 124 W. First St. Tickets, at www.clallam democrats.org, are available for a suggested donation of $25. Any remaining will be sold at the door, and a reception with wine, beer, soft drinks and hors d’oeuvres will start at 6:30 p.m. Swarbrick calls “Miss Lillian Speaks” a high point of her career. A performer who has appeared on Broadway, in musicals at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre and on television’s “Murder, She Wrote,” among other shows, she began studying Miss Lillian about five years ago.

A Remarkable Mother The journey started with reading Jimmy Carter’s book A Remarkable Mother and went on from there — farther than Swarbrick dreamed it could. Early on, Swarbrick learned that Lillian, at age 68, joined the Peace Corps and celebrated her 70th birthday while serving in India. She learned, too, about Lillian’s life as the mother of four children: colorful individuals named Jimmy, Ruth, Gloria and Billy. Lillian raised them with the love of her life, Earl Carter, by her side. She was a Georgia peanut farmer who enjoyed some earthy humor and

salty language. She lived 85 years, a mother, a grandmother and the daughter of Jim Jack Gordy — Papa — a father with deep flaws and convictions. Swarbrick studied all of this and then some.

Collaboration She worked with director James Rocco, writer Jeff Scott and with her husband, a writer, actor and returned Peace Corps volunteer, to create “Miss Lillian Speaks.” She recorded a DVD of an early performance and sent it to the Carter Center, the international human rights and public health organization in Atlanta. The video found its way to Jimmy Carter himself. The 39th president, along with his wife, Rosalynn, liked Swarbrick’s portrayal enough to invite her to Plains, Ga., where they gave her a tour of the Pond House, Miss Lillian’s refuge at the Carter family’s place. Swarbrick and Dries were in Plains, it so happened, as Jimmy marked his 87th birthday. As “Miss Lillian Speaks” continued to take shape, Swarbrick and Dries were invited back for more visits, which included more conversations about Miss Lillian. They learned about the Better Hometown Program, Jimmy and Rosalynn’s nonprofit community-building organization, and this past year, Swarbrick, Dries and a small group of Clallam County friends bid, in a Better Hometown Program benefit auction, on a fish-

After catching some fish, the Clallam visitors lunched with Rosalynn and Jimmy, who was about to turn 91. It was there in Georgia that Swarbrick had a chance to talk with Marcia Farrell of Port Angeles, then the Clallam County Democrats vice chairwoman, who was part of the fishing cohort. “She came up and took my hand and said, ‘I would love to do a fundraiser’ ” of “Miss Lillian Speaks,” recalled Farrell.

BY RACHEL LA CORTE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OLYMPIA, — A Senate panel Tuesday approved a subpoena resolution that seeks documents related to the erroneous early release of thousands of prisoners in Washington state. On a 4-3 party line vote, the Senate Law and Justice Committee moved the resolution that asks the Rules Committee to issue a subpoena for documents from the Department of Corrections and the governor’s office. The documents sought include any emails, reports or data compilations related to a software coding error that led to the early release of up to 3,200 prisoners since 2002 due to miscalculated sentences.

Benefit for party So it has come about: Proceeds from Saturday’s play will benefit the Democrats. And as she does with all “Miss Lillian” performances, Swarbrick will also send a portion to the Better Hometown Program. After the Clallam show, Swarbrick will take it on the road: She’s booked to do “Miss Lillian Speaks” at the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library in Independence, Mo., on Feb. 13 and at a theater in The Villages, Fla., on March 17. At all venues, Swarbrick will follow the show with a question-and-answer session — as Miss Lillian Carter, that free and strong spirit she has come to know.

Tied to 2 deaths At least two deaths have been tied to the early releases. “I believe the public is entitled to an investigation, an independent one conducted by this body, that will set forth all the facts in the manner that the public can view and weigh the credibility of these statements of those who may be responsible,” said Republican Sen. Steve O’Ban of Tacoma, the vice chairman of the committee.

________ Features Editor Diane Urbani de la Paz can be reached at 360452-2345, ext. 5062, or at diane. urbani@peninsuladailynews.com.

“Regardless of the fact that the governor is conducting his own investigation, this is a co-equal branch of government.” The Senate Rules Committee was expected to vote on the resolution Tuesday night. A software fix to the coding error, publicly disclosed by Gov. Jay Inslee on Dec. 22, was implemented this month. But lawmakers and the governor want to know why something wasn’t done sooner by the Department of Corrections. The agency was first alerted to the error — which started in 2002 — in December 2012. But a scheduled fix for the program was repeatedly delayed over the past three years. Department of Corrections Secretary Dan Pacholke said he didn’t learn of the error until the middle of last month, and the governor said he didn’t learn of the issue until that same time, when corrections’ officials notified his staff. Inslee’s office has hired two retired federal prosecutors to investigate, and Democratic members of the Senate committee argued that the committee’s actions were premature in light of that ongoing investigation. “I certainly agree that we have to get to the bottom of this,” said Sen. David

Oversight But O’Ban said he was concerned about the transparency and scope of the investigation conducted by the investigators and said that during a private meeting with them he had been told that employees of the Department of Corrections would not be under oath during their interviews and that their interviews would not be recorded. “If employees should later disagree with what the investigators claimed those employees shared with investigators in private settings beyond the eyes of the public or media, there’s no way that we can determine that one could establish the disagreement and resolve any doubts about whether those employees gave accurate statements or testimony,” he said. The committee’s chairman, Republican Sen. Mike Padden of Spokane Valley, said while his committee is initially just seeking subpoena power for documents, it may later ask the Rules committee to approve a subpoena to compel testimony from witnesses, if necessary.

Nurseries grow planting of Washington’s newest apple Cosmic Crisp could be harvested and sold in stores in fall of 2020 BY DAN WHEAT CAPITAL PRESS

QUINCY — A sea of 2-foot-tall trees, brown leaves still hanging on, ride above a blanket of snow. They look normal enough, but it’s rootstock growth, in a field owned by Gold Crown Nursery. In another month, they will be cut off 6 to 8 inches above the ground, just above single buds that were grafted into the stems last August. In spring, the buds will burst forth, growing new nursery trees through summer. They’ll be ready for digging in November, placed in cold storage through winter and shipped for planting in the spring of 2017. What makes these trees special is that they will be the first commercial planting of Cosmic Crisp, the first apple variety bred in Washington to be exclusively grown by any and all Washington growers that the industry hopes will become the new Washington apple. The first apples will be harvested and sold in stores in the fall of 2020.

WA 38 breeding name Initially known by its breeding name, WA 38, the apple was bred from Enterprise and Honeycrisp in 1997 by Bruce Barritt, who was then the apple breeder at the Washington State University Tree Fruit Research and Extension Center in Wenatchee. Cosmic Crisp has a sweet, tangy flavor and ranks high in taste, texture and beauty, and has many qualities of the popular

Honeycrisp with fewer horticultural challenges, said Kate Evans, who succeeded Barritt after his retirement. Twenty-four growers were chosen by drawing to plant the first 300,000 to 400,000 commercial Cosmic Crisp in 2017. But propagation is going well enough that 600,000 will be ready, so a second set of 24 growers also will receive trees, said Bill Howell, managing director of Northwest Nursery Improvement Institute, Prosser.

Two classifications NNII is managing tree production by seven nurseries. Growers are evenly split into two classifications: smaller growers wanting 3,000 to 5,000 trees, and larger ones receiving up to 20,000. In 2018, nurseries will have enough Cosmic Crisp that the drawing won’t be used and any Washington grower will be able to buy them at nurseries. “We have orders for well over 1 million trees for 2018, and orders are coming now pretty aggressively for 2019,” said Lynnell Brandt, president of Proprietary Variety Management in Yakima, which is coordinating the commercialization of Cosmic Crisp for WSU. All growers, packers and marketers in the state will be able to handle the new variety under grade and packing standards and by license or contract with PVM on behalf of WSU instead of through a federal marketing order, Brandt said. Countries outside North

“We have orders for well over 1 million trees for 2018, and orders are coming now pretty aggressively for 2019.” LYNNELL BRANDT president, Proprietary Variety Management in Yakima America will be licensed within the next few years, and eventually licenses, may be granted in other states, he said. “This variety is exclusive to Washington state, so it’s been easy and exciting to bring an entire marketing group together to advise on how to do it correctly,” Brandt said. All major marketing firms, used to working independently as competitors, are coming together on an advisory committee to launch Cosmic Crisp in the best way possible, Brandt said. The committee is headed by Robert Kershaw, president of Domex Superfresh Growers, Yakima. Meetings are open to all marketers in the state, and a subcommittee will define quality standards. Other committees will be established as needed, Brandt said. “We want to be on top of it, as critical mass won’t be the challenge; the challenge will be to be ahead of marketing curves and growing techniques and storage and so forth,” he said. “This is a unique commercialization because it involves the entire industry. Potentially, it could set a new bar in release of new materials in a coordinated manner,” Brandt said. PVM has established a protocol, vetted by WSU and NNII, for growers to

Alcoa to delay idling its aluminum smelter THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FERNDALE — Alcoa now says it will not idle its aluminum smelter in Ferndale until the end of June. The metals maker announced Tuesday it would keep Intalco Works smelter open awhile longer because changes in energy and raw material costs have made it cheaper to keep the smelter operating so it can provide molten metal to the plant’s casthouse. The plant was initially scheduled to be idled by March. The company announced

in November that it would idle two smelters in Washington state, including one near Wenatchee, as part of a larger plan to shrink aluminum output. Alcoa plans to continue operating the casthouse in Ferndale.

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!!

Lawmakers propose free state tuition BY WALKER ORENSTEIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OLYMPIA — Tuition at community and technical colleges in Washington would be free for state residents without a bachelor’s degree under a proposal announced Tuesday by a group of Democratic lawmakers. Some qualifying students could also get a stipend for books and other expenses based on family income, lawmakers said at a news conference. The plan would apply to part-time students, too. “We know that a high school diploma, while still foundational for every student, is simply not enough,” said Sen. Pramila Jayapal, D-Seattle. A way to pay for the free tuition hasn’t been offered yet. It’s estimated by nonpartisan staff at the Legislature to cost between $94 million and $105 million in 2017, if implemented, and the price tag would increase if more students enroll in the state’s community and technical colleges. Rep. Gerry Pollet, D-Seattle, floated the idea of closing tax exemptions as one way to pay for tuition money. But there aren’t infinite tax exemptions to close, especially if lawmakers want to eliminate tax loopholes to increase money for other legislative priorities such as basic education and the state’s mental health system, said Senate Majority Leader Mark Schoesler, a Republican from Ritzville. “How are they going to pay for it, I mean really?” he said of the Washington promise program at a separate news conference on Tuesday. Democrats stressed there would be a return on investing in free community college when there are more Wash-

ington students qualified for skilled jobs. They estimated the plan would increase enrollment in community colleges by 5 percent to 9 percent. Sen. David Frockt, D-Seattle, emphasized the proposal would be a boon for middle-class people who don’t quite qualify for financial aid. The program would give students money to cover what all other sources of financial aid, like the federal Pell grant program, don’t pay for. “There are a lot of people who are not rich and not poor who are going to be helped by this,” he said. Rep. Hans Zeiger, R-Puyallup, will be a co-sponsor of the bill in the House, and Democrats at the announcement said they expected at least one Republican to cosponsor the bill in the Senate. Efforts around the country to make community college free for students have had varying results. Last year, President Barack Obama proposed making community college free, but the proposal has not been implemented by Congress. Three states have created free community college programs since 2014: Minnesota, Oregon and Tennessee, according to the National Conference on State Legislatures. At least 11 other states introduced legislation to create similar programs in 2015. The Legislature cut tuition at the state’s four year colleges and universities last session by 15 percent to 20 percent over two years and by 5 percent for two-year schools. That cut was a legislative priority for Republicans.

Legislator asks group of youths about virginity THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OLYMPIA — A Washington state lawmaker apologized after asking a group of teenagers about their virginity during a meeting. Republican Rep. Mary Dye of Pomeroy in rural southeastern Washington posed the question Monday while meeting with about six high school students from the Pullman-area teen council chapter of Planned Parenthood, The Seattle Times reported. The students and a Planned Parenthood worker accompanying them said the lawmaker asked if the students were virgins — and suggested that one was not — after they lobbied for expanded insurance coverage of birth control. In a written statement, Dye, 54, said she was talking about the empowerment of women and making good choices, but her comments

“may have come across as more motherly than what they would expect from their state representative.” “If anything I said offended them or made them feel uncomfortable, I apologize,” she said. The teens were visiting the Capitol as part of Planned Parenthood’s annual Teen Lobbying Day. “After she made the statement about virginity, all of my teens looked at me,” said Rachel Todd, an education specialist for Planned Parenthood of Greater Washington and North Idaho. “And I said, ‘You don’t have to answer that. You don’t have to answer that.’ ” Todd, 29, called it “incredibly disrespectful and inappropriate.” “It seemed kind of insane for her to say that, especially on the record, to constituents,” said one of the students, Alex Rubino, 18.

State oyster growers look to spray beds with pesticide BY LEWIS KAMB MCCLATCHY NEWS SERVICE

SEATTLE — Celebrity chefs bemoaned it, two major shellfish producers backed out of it, and ultimately, a group of oyster farmers withdrew from it amid a fervor of bad publicity. But seven months after public outcry derailed a plan to spray a neurotoxic pesticide on the celebrated oyster beds of southwest Washington, a group of shellfish growers has rekindled pursuit of a proposal to control pesky burrowing shrimp that harm oyster production. Earlier this month, the Willapa Bay-Grays Harbor Oyster Growers Association submitted paperwork to the Washington Department of Ecology that seeks to reinstate a previously approved permit — or, if that’s not possible, apply for a new one — so that 12 local shellfish farms can spray the pesticide imidacloprid in coastal estuaries.

Shrimp control The shellfish growers want to use the pesticide to control native ghost shrimp and mud shrimp, which burrow into tide flats and turn firm oyster beds into gooey quicksand that can swallow and suffocate their valued shellfish. Last April — following several millions of dollars and years of research, and after a lengthy state review process — a larger group of shellfish growers had won a five-year permit to spray the pesticide on their commercial oyster beds in Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor. Then came an uprising by local chefs and other shellfish buyers, who threatened to cancel orders. Members of the public took to social media to spread outrage over the use of pesticides in pristine estuaries. The backlash led shellfish growers to request the state to withdraw the permit. Dave Nisbet, owner of the Nisbet Oyster Company, said last week the oyster farmers were “taken aback”

by the bad press last year and so sought to have Ecology temporarily withdraw the permit. “But the permit got totally pulled, to our surprise,” he said.

June start? Now, the smaller group of applicants made up of family-run shellfish farms said their future depends on the pest-management plan, which they hope to start as soon as June. They contend the pesticide plan is safe, and that controlling shrimp populations not only helps oyster production but enhances the overall health of Washington’s estuaries. “We really have to have a control in place for this summer,” Nisbet said. “If we can’t, we’ll lose our oyster beds or a portion of them. There’s an economic loss right away, and the secondary effect is damage to the biodiversity of the estuaries.” Absent from the group’s application this time are two of the largest shellfish companies — Taylor Shellfish Farms and Coast Seafoods. Both firms, which unlike the other applicants also grow shellfish in other areas, backed out of last year’s plan; Taylor cited the public controversy. Nisbet and some of the remaining dozen shellfish growers said that going forward, they’ll seek to treat only as needed about 500 acres of tideflats — onethird the area approved for spraying last year — under a five-year permit.

Hand application Imidacloprid would be applied only by hand, using boats and ATVs to access the tideflats, they said. The farmers wouldn’t use helicopters, limiting aerial drift of the chemical, they said. The formal application still lists aerial application as a possibility, however. Ecology Department spokesman Chase Gallagher said agency officials are now reviewing the growers’ paperwork, which was filed Jan. 8.

midacloprid would be applied only by hand, using boats and ATVs to access the tideflats, the growers said.

Because the state canceled the initial permit after receiving the withdrawal letter in May, the applicants likely will need to go through another full review, he added. “Our attorneys are looking at everything, but the basic understanding is that once you cancel a permit, you can’t bring it back,” Gallagher said. A new application would trigger a State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review, which would include public comment periods and likely take several months, Gallagher said.

Carbaryl For decades, Washington’s oyster farmers used a different pesticide called carbaryl to control burrowing shrimp. In 2002, the industry agreed to phase out its use over 10 years after environmental groups sued over the issue. Kim Patten, who heads the tiny Washington State University research station on Willapa Bay, has since tested various alternatives while searching for an effective replacement. He believed he found one with the widely-used imidacloprid, which can paralyze shrimp so they suffocate in their muddy holes. Patten’s field-testing found imidacloprid was effective at reducing burrowing shrimp while not having major detrimental impacts on other aquatic life. “It’s 1,000 times more benign than carbaryl, in terms of impacts to organisms,” Patten said. Because the pesticide is applied to the tideflats — and oysters are seeded months later — residue from imidacloprid doesn’t get into the shellfish that people will eat, he added. Not all science says the

pesticide is environmentally safe, however. Earlier this month, the federal Environmental Protection Agency announced new findings of a preliminary risk assessment showing imidacloprid’s use on crops that attract bees, such as citrus and cotton, “potentially poses risk to hives.” The EPA plans to release another assessment of the pesticide’s impacts on aquatic life in December. Patten and Erik Johansen, who coordinates the Washington Department of Agriculture’s pesticide registration program, separately said applying imidacloprid to estuaries shouldn’t harm bees. “You’re applying it to shellfish beds, where there aren’t any bees,” Johansen said. Oyster farmers also would need the state agriculture department’s approval to register imidacloprid. The agency previously granted them registration of the pesticide with the conditions that growers provided further research showing it didn’t have adverse environmental effects. That registration expired in December, and the shellfish growers have yet to submit a renewal application, Johansen said last week. The National Marine Fisheries Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also have raised concerns that imidacloprid could be harmful if introduced to aquatic environments.

Growers opposed Some other Willapa Bay oyster growers also oppose the plan. Fritzi Cohen, longtime owner of the Moby Dick Hotel and Oyster Farm, said she stopped harvesting oysters in 2007 after she detected chemicals used by other growers had drifted into her beds. Cohen, who promotes organic oystering, has fought the use of chemicals in Willapa Bay for 20 years. “Pesticides in general are not benign,” Cohen said. “Pesticides kill, that’s what they do. These growers, they’re just doing what they do best: employing bad science to promote their own goals to the detriment of everyone else.” But the shellfish farmers seeking to apply imidacloprid in southwest Washington, which produces about one-quarter of the nation’s oysters, said they’re convinced its use is safe. “Some of our families have been in these communities, farming, for 140 years,” said Kathleen Moncy, of Nisbet Oyster Company. “To suggest we’d do anything that would be harmful to the environment is very hurtful to us.”

Expand tribal dental health care BY JULIE JOHNSON

HAVE YOU EVER had a toothache with no dentist to help you? Let me tell you my story. I come from Neah Bay on the Makah Reservation. Growing up, our idea of dental services was waiting in line Johnson to have our teeth pulled if a dentist was visiting this isolated reservation, or else taking the bus two hours to Port Angeles to have our teeth pulled. That was just normal for us growing up, with constant tooth pain and infections. No regular checkups, no cleanings, no fillings. One member of my family lost

every single tooth before he turned 19. One time, when I was 8 or 9 years old, I had a tooth pulled in Port Angeles and traveled 75 miles home on the bus. That afternoon, my gum started to bleed, and there was no one to help. My mother held a cloth against my mouth for hours to try to stop the blood. Finally, she located a medical person at the old Makah Air Force station. Then, she had to find a ride at 1 or 2 in the morning because we had no car. It was really scary. Horror stories like those of my childhood are thankfully less common now, but the dental care situation is still dire on many of our Native American reservations in Washington state.

POINT OF VIEW

Peninsula Voices For Sequim bond I’ve read how we “owe” our kids a better school, and this is often cited as a primary reason we need to pass the upcoming Feb. 9 Sequim School District construction bond. I would like to posit another reason. We owe it to our greatgreat-grandparents. My great-great-grandparents came to this country to provide a better life for their family (kids included). Freedom of religion, education and commerce was what attracted them, and they worked hard to make good on those opportunities. Every generation wants the best for that generation’s offspring. It is human nature to take care of and protect our children. We would do a disservice to our hardworking, optimistic relatives if we let the next generation down by not updating our facilities, minimizing overcrowding, enhancing learning opportunities and increasing safety. Passing this bond results in a lower tax rate then we had in 2013, safer schoolrooms, increased learning time, energy-efficient build-

ings, increased nutritional diversity and happier students, parents, teachers and, ultimately, our community. Register, vote yes and return your ballot. Robert Street, Sequim

No on bond I was asked recently what it would take for me not to write a letter to the editor. I had no idea I made such an impact. However, if the members of the Sequim School Board had read my letter to the editor prior to last November’s bond election, they would know what it would take. My position has not changed. In fact, the increase in the price only makes my conviction stronger. With 4 percent interest, a $28,509,511 east-side grade school could cost $40 million [in 20 years], and that is an outrageous amount of money for this community to spend. As to the rest of the bond request, the board’s flier states that they have spent the past two years listening to the community and

I want this for Washington tribes, and it is my hope that we support a DHAT training program at Northwest Indian College. Over the years, Native Americans have learned to take poor oral health for granted. No more. It is time to allow tribes in Washington state to train and hire dental therapists.

which they will be unable to make a living. Things could be worse. Global warming may be a global catastrophe, but I’ll take it over global cooling any day of the week. We have only to go back to the hard winter of 1893, the winter of the blue snow, when 75 inches fell in Port Angeles and the temperature fell to 1 below zero, to gain this perspective. That was the hardest winter ever recorded in Port Angeles and was made even harder by what was known as “The Panic of ’93.” It started off when wheat prices crashed. Before they knew it, 500 banks closed and 15,000 businesses failed, among them the Northern Pacific Railway and the Union Pacific Railroad. This came as a shock to the sparse population of the Olympic Peninsula, whose railroad dreams had convinced no one

that a mountainous peninsula surrounded on three sides by treacherous waterways would be an ideal terminus for the transcontinental railroad. Brochure writers extolled the virtues of Union City, the Venice of the Pacific and Ocosta-by-theSea. Railroads were planned from Port Townsend to Portland, Ore., and from Everett to Port Angeles, a route that is mostly water. No matter; they planned to float the rail cars on barges and continue on to Crescent City, Forks and Aberdeen. The country was so broke that President Grover Cleveland had to borrow money from the Rothschilds, a financial maneuver that held dire consequences into the next century. Things could be worse, but you wonder how. What could possibly be worse than all the global warming, financial meltdowns and environmental catastrophes put together?

That would be the Seahawks’ loss to the Carolina Panthers in the playoff game Sunday. As long as our beloved Seahawks were in the playoffs, people quit steelhead fishing to watch the game. We had some of the best fishing of the year, and no one was on the river — heck, there was no one on the road. If hell is other fishermen, then having the Seahawks in the playoffs was a little slice of heaven. Now, with our football season over, we wonder what it will do to the fishing. Steelhead fishing might not be a matter of life and death. It’s probably much more important than that.

PORT ANGELES — Port Angeles gymnasts claimed the top three spots in the all-around as the Roughriders rolled to victory in their lone home meet of the season. Port Angeles earned an overall team score of 156.6 in the four-team meet held Monday at Klahhane Gymnastics. North Thurston finished second with 142.6 points, Kingston was third with 130.9 and North Kitsap was fourth with 121.7. Sequim gymnasts also competed at the meet but the Wolves do not field a complete team. The Riders claimed firstplace showings in three of the four events and had five gymnasts among the top 10 allaround scores. Maya Wharton was first in the all-around for Port Angeles with 32.10 points after winning the floor exercise (8.8) and tying with teammates Cassi Middlestead and Nikki Price for first on the beam (8.3). Lexi Hefton also won on the uneven bars for the Riders (8.1). Along with her two firstplace finishes, Wharton was third on the vault (8.4) and fourth on the bars (6.6). Middlestead finished second in the all-around with a score of 32, while Hefton was third with a 31.8. Middlestead placed second in the floor exercise (8.6) and was third on the vault (8.4) and third on the bars (7.1). Hefton also finished eighth in the floor exercise, ninth in

Better conditions Golf fans put off by the USGA’s handling of the course conditions at Chambers Bay also can breathe easy. Sahalee is much more of a typical Pacific Northwest golf course than Chambers Bay. Towering cedar and fir trees frame the fairways and will have an impact on club and shot selection for players. The course’s North and South nines are used for tournament play, and there are some prominent water hazards in play on each nine. Oh, and the Sahalee greens and fairways will actually be green in late spring. There’s no way the USGA can meddle with the amount of water each surface will receive like they did at Chambers Bay.

More walkable course Sahalee’s location on the Sammamish Plateau is a longer jaunt than University Place for North Olympic Peninsula attendees, but having covered the U.S. Senior Open held there in 2010, I can say with certainty that I prefer Sahalee’s visitor experience. The fairways on each nine are mainly flat, but any elevation change at Sahalee is much more muted than spectators encountered at Chambers Bay. At Sahalee it will be easier to see the players compete and much easier to walk the course. See you there.

Hawks believe future remains bright BY NICK PATTERSON THE [EVERETT] DAILY HERALD

RENTON — Prior to the 2015 NFL season, there were some who thought the Seattle Seahawks’ window for contending for the Super Bowl was on the verge of slamming shut. Seattle still had its chance in 2015, but after that trouble was on the horizon. The Seahawks won the 2014 Super Bowl and reached the 2015 Super Bowl with a roster filled with players

who were over-performing their contracts. Come 2016 those players would either get paid or leave for greener financial pastures, and Seattle would succumb to the inevitable NFL cycle of decline dictated by the salary cap. But the Seahawks believe that despite bowing out of the playoffs in the divisional round, they showed why they’ll be contenders again next season. “I feel like we have a great

announce special Cardinals’ run game sputtering M’s event schedule for ‘16 heading into NFC Championship BY BOB DUTTON

MCCLATCHY NEWS SERVICE

BY BOB BAUM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TEMPE, Ariz. — The Arizona Cardinals’ once robust running game has all but vanished in recent weeks. Now the team has to try to rediscover it while facing the punishing defense of the Carolina Panthers. In last Saturday’s 26-20 overtime victory over Green Bay, the Cardinals managed just 40 yards rushing in 19 attempts, an anemic average of 2.1 yards per carry. David Johnson gained 35 yards in 15 tries, an average of 2.3 per attempt. Arizona’s longest running play of the game was eight yards. “I think they had a good scheme against us from the two weeks before that when we played them, they were ready for us,” Johnson said Tuesday after the Cardinals’ walk-through practice. Arizona coach Bruce Arians placed the blame squarely on the offensive line and not on his rookie running back. “Getting their [behinds] kicked up front,” Arians said. “It’s not anything David is doing. There’s just not a lot of holes there and we have to do a better job. It’s a tough challenge this week.” When the Cardinals face Carolina in the NFC championship game on Sunday, they will go against a defense that ranked fourth against the run in the regular season, allowing 88.4 yards per game. Arians said Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short are the best pair of defensive tackles Arizona has seen all season. “The linebackers are great,” Arians said, “but they [the tackles] help make them great.”Lotulelei and Short are

Kuechly, Arians said, has “got great instincts.” “He’s really fast,” the coach said. “What he really is, he’s a great pass defender. People see all the tackles, but they do a great job of keeping him clean to make the tackles,” The absence of defensive end Jared Allen, who is doubtful for the game due to a broken foot, won’t have that much impact, the Cardinals coach said. “They’ve got good depth,” Arians said. “Mario Addison

gave us problems last year and I’m not sure there’s a drop off there.” Rest assured that the Arizona offensive linemen will hear a lot this week about their run blocking from Arians and offensive coordinator Harold Goodwin, who specializes in coaching those positions. Iupati, named to the Pro Bowl for the fourth time in his six NFL seasons, is considered one of the best run blockers in the league. “We’ve got to block better, block longer, extend your guys. It’s no secret,” Iupati said. Us O-line guys, we know what we’ve got to do. We’ve just got to go out there and open holes for David or whoever’s in the

backfield and protect the quarterback Most of the season, the Cardinals’ ground game has been humming along nicely, with Chris Johnson the featured back until he went down with a seasonending injury in Arizona’s 19-13 win at San Francisco on Nov. 29. David Johnson stepped in and, if anything, the running game got better. He gained 99 yards in his first start (at St. Louis), 92 in his second (against Minnesota) and a breakout 187 yards in 29 carries at Philadelphia. But he had only 39 yards, 25 yards and 35 yards in the three games since.

SEATTLE — A Ken Griffey Jr. tribute weekend highlights the Mariners’ special-events schedule, which the club announced Tuesday shortly after Major League Baseball released tentative start times for all games. Griffey was elected earlier this month to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and will be inducted July 24 in a ceremony near the shrine in Cooperstown, N.Y. He is the first player elected to the Hall primarily for his achievements while playing for the Mariners, and the club will mark the occasion with a series of events for its Aug. 5-7 series against the Angels at Safeco Field. The Mariners previously announced the planned highlights for that weekend tribute: ■ Aug. 5: Ken Griffey Jr. Bobblehead Night. The first 20,000 fans will receive a free Griffey bobblehead doll, courtesy of Root Sports. ■ Aug. 6: The Mariners will formally retire Griffey’s

No. 24 in a pre-game ceremony. The first 20,000 fans will receive a replica of Griffey’s Hall of Fame plaque. ■ Aug. 7: The first 20,000 fans will get a free Griffey replica jersey. The promotions scheduled announced Tuesday lists four other bobblehead giveaways: Nelson Cruz on April 30; Kyle Seager on May 14, Felix Hernandez on June 24 and Robinson Cano on July 16. The Mariners also plan four Friday post-game fireworks displays: May 27, June 10, July 1 and Aug. 19. There are five scheduled hat giveaways: a beard hat on April 29; a bomber hat on May 27; a mid-80s Mariners cap on June 25; a fedora on July 15 and a Native American-themed hat on Sept. 18. The Mariners are also planning three “Bark at the Park” promotions that allow fans to bring their dogs to Safeco Field: May 24, Aug. 9 and Sept. 6. Other promotional highlights include: Mariners socks on May 13, K beach towels on June 11 and cooler bags on July 2.

Texas pitcher Darvish denies link to gambling THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Texas Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish said he is not and has never been involved in gambling activities amid a Major League Baseball investigation after the arrest of his younger brother in Japan. Darvish issued a statement through his agent Tuesday that says he understands MLB must conduct an investigation. “I am certain that they will find that I had no involvement in this matter

whatsoever,” Darvish said in a statement. Sho Darvish was arrested in October in Japan for allegedly running an illegal gambling ring that reportedly took about 1,850 bets on MLB games as well as professional baseball games in Japan. The arrest came after an investigation of more than a year. It was unclear if any bets were taken on games involving the Rangers. The Japan Times said Osaka police have not accused Yu Darvish of any wrongdoing.

Hawks: Youthful core of stars Carman: Enter CONTINUED FROM B1 A subtle tweak to the offensive systems at midseason, which compelled Wilson to get rid of the ball more quickly, elevated Wilson’s play to MVP levels as he finished the season by throwing 24 touchdown passes against just one interception in Seattle’s final seven regular season games. The Seahawks thought they had a franchise-caliber quarterback before. They know they have one now. And Seattle coach Pete Carroll only expects Wilson, who’s heading into his fifth season, to continue to get better. “I think it’s really the right time to turn his focus and broaden his awareness of what is going on in the game overall,” Carroll said. “He and I will spend a lot of time this offseason introducing him to the perspective of what it’s like to look at the defense from the defensive side of the ball. I want him to learn and understand what’s going on schematically, rotationwise, fits-wise, even more than he knows now.” Wilson will have plenty of pieces to work with. Receiver Doug Baldwin had a breakout season, being named a Pro Bowl alternate. Rookie receiver Tyler Lockett was a pleasant surprise who will be worked into the offense even more next season. The Seahawks also will get back tight end Jimmy Graham, who was finding a comfort level in Seattle’s offense when he suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 12. Seattle also gets the core of its league-leading defense back. The Seahawks’ defense allowed the fewest points in the NFL for the fourth straight year and had five players named to

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Seattle’s Russell Wilson (3) had the best statistical performance of his career after signing a long-term contract extension before this season. the Pro Bowl. All five — Wagner, cornerback Richard Sherman, defensive end Michael Bennett, and safeties Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor — are under contract for next season. So is defensive end Cliff Avril, a Pro Bowl alternate. “I really like our team,” Carroll said about what kind of personnel moves need to be made in the offseason. “Yeah, there’s some stuff, there’s always stuff. But I really like our team. I like the balance of it. I like the youth of it, the attitude, the mentality, the toughness. “There’s difficult decisions that we’ll have to make, and we’ll make them, and we’ll move forward in hopes of making our roster more competitive,” Carroll added. “There’s a lot of guys on this roster right now, the young guys that you don’t know a lot about, that I think have a chance to really push other guys that are on our team right now.”

O-line questions Some of those difficult decisions will have to be made on the offensive line. Seattle, in signing many of its core players to big contracts, decided to go cheaper on the offensive line. That turned into a disaster during the first half of the season as Wilson was under constant pressure. The protection issues eased midseason after Patrick Lewis took over at center for converted defensive lineman Drew Nowak. But they reared their ugly head again in a late-season loss to St. Louis and the seasonending defeat to Carolina. Compounding the situation is Seattle’s two most experienced offensive linemen, tackle Russell Okung and guard J.R. Sweezy, are both unrestricted free agents. The Seahawks have a lot of money committed to their stars for 2016, so they’ll have to figure out how to finesse the offensive

line again. The Seahawks, after falling short in their bid to become the third team to reach three straight Super Bowls, are fully expecting some people to say the window has closed on Seattle. “People have said a lot of things and they’ve been wrong before,” Sherman said. “We’re so young I think people get confused sometimes, like our quarterback is 38,” Sherman continued. “I think he’s closer to 26 or 27 than 38. Bobby Wagner is 25. We’ve got a young core. “I think people have been astounded by what we’ve been able to do in our young careers, but we’re far from done. Guys are just entering their primes and we’re going to be special for a long time.”

Reds sending Rose to team’s Hall of Fame THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CINCINNATI — Pete Rose is getting a hall of fame induction — in the Cincinnati Reds’ team hall during a weekend of honors this summer in his hometown — that will include retiring his No. 14. The Reds’ announcement Tuesday came after MLB commissioner Rob Manfred rejected Rose’s application for reinstatement to baseball last month. Manfred concluded that baseball’s career hits leader hasn’t shown evidence of “a reconfigured life” and continued to gamble, even while seeking to end the lifetime ban imposed in 1989 for betting on numerous Reds games while playing for and managing the team. Reds’ chief executive Bob

Castellini said Manfred approved the plans to honor the 74-year-old Rose. The June 24-26 events also will feature a 40-year reunion of the 1976 world champion Reds, on-field ceremonies and a team hall of fame banquet in which Rose will be awarded the red sports coat its members wear. “This is an honor, that you can’t just believe how you feel,” Rose said at a news conference, noting that he grew up a Reds fan and was born a few miles from the Great American Ball Park where he will be honored. Manfred said while Rose remains banned from working for any major league team or minor league affiliate, he could make ceremonial appearances with the commissioner’s approval.

B4 $ Briefly . . . Univision buys stake in The Onion NEW YORK — It’s not a joke. Spanish-language broadcaster Univision is buying a stake in the owner of The Onion, the satirical news site. “I’m happy to announce that we’ve just finished a deal with what might at first seem like an unusual partner: Univision,” wrote Onion Inc. CEO Mike McAvoy in a memo to employees. He said Univision has acquired “a good chunk” of Onion Inc. as of Tuesday and may acquire the remainder down the line. Univision Communications Inc. said Tuesday it is a minority investor. Univision spokeswoman Rosemary Mercedes and Onion spokeswoman Lauren Pulte both declined to specify the size of Univision’s investment. The investment is the latest attempt by TV networks to appeal to young people.

Insurance customers begin year with delays BY KELLI KENNEDY AND TOM MURPHY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

That could add to investor concern that airlines are adding too many flights while fuel is relatively cheap, which is pushing fares lower. But Delta officials said bookings for this spring are ahead of last year’s pace because lower gasoline and heating bills mean that consumers have more money to spend.

Thousands of health insurance consumers around the country have started the new year dealing with missing ID cards, billing errors and other problems tied to an enrollment surge at the end of 2015. Brokers and insurers in several states told The Associated Press they’ve been inundated with complaints about these issues from customers with individual plans and those with coverage through small businesses. Insurance provider Health Care Service Corp., for instance, has been dealing with delays for around 10,000 companies, while billing errors caused bank overdrafts for 3,200 individual customers of a North Carolina insurer. These delays mean some customers may have to pay for care up front or wait for their insurance cards to

Chris Rogers, right, talks to Epilepsy Foundation navigator Barbara Meneses as Rogers prepares to enroll for health care coverage last week in Coral Gables, Fla. arrive before scheduling a doctor’s appointment, even though many have technically been covered since Jan. 1. “I’ve been in the health insurance business 20 plus years, and I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Dallas-based broker Tanya Boyd, who estimates that hundreds of customers have

complained about delays in receiving their insurance cards or a confirmation of coverage. The delays are due to more customers than expected shopping for coverage late last year after carriers ended plans in some markets, leaving thousands to find new ones. And a last-minute enroll-

ment deadline extension from the federal government gave people two more days to sign up. An expansion of the Affordable Care Act’s mandate that employers cover their workers also may have contributed to the rush. It’s unclear how many people have had trouble so far this year. To be sure, a certain amount of problems can crop up at the start of every year, after insurers wrap up a busy holiday season clogged with enrollment periods for all types of insurance. But brokers say this year has been exceptional. Consumers who wanted coverage that started Jan. 1 originally had to sign up by Dec. 15. But HealthCare.gov, the federal website that handles applications for coverage from ACA exchanges in most states, announced Dec. 15 that it would extend the deadline two days due to heavy demand.
