Port Angeles recycles bins into found money Old containers can be reused for their plastic BY LEAH LEACH PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — Now the city is recycling even the containers for garbage. A city employee’s idea for recycling garbage containers has reduced the amount of solid waste that must be shipped from Port Angeles while also
saving the city money. Jason Paynter, solid waste collections supervisor, found a way to recycle plastic garbage bins that had outlived their usefulness. About 14,000 pounds of garbage bins were hauled off in August by Denton Plastics, a recycling company in Portland., Ore., that recycles high-density polyethylene, of which city garbage bins are made. Denton Plastics sent the city a check for $2,520. Combined with the savings of $1,031 in disposal fees, the city realized a gain of $3,551. Now, the city solid waste crew
is cleaning and storing more used garbage bins, which are destined to be transported by the recycler once there is enough to fill a semi-truck. Paynter, who has worked for the city for nearly 14 years, had been researching a recycler for the garbage bins for about a year and a half, he said. In 2001, the city began replacing the 300-gallon containers that had served three houses each with individual 90-gallon containers, buying about 6,000 of the smaller containers, he said. TURN

PORT ANGELES — A sunset could be on the horizon for Clallam County’s sales tax holiday. Two commissioners Monday said they would support restoring the sales tax rate to 8.4 percent effective April 1 for items purchased in unincorporated areas. All three commissioners agreed to invite other elected officials and department heads to weigh in on a proposal to end a 0.2-percent tax break that took effect last July. Commissioners Mike Chapman, Bill Peach and former Commissioner Jim McEntire agreed last April to lower the tax to 8.2 percent in an effort to spur the local economy. “I think in our hearts we thought we were doing the right thing at the time,” Chapman said in the board work session Monday. “But what we didn’t do is we didn’t go to our leadership team and we didn’t get their advice, and I would even go so far that on a big decision like this, there should have been advice and consent.”
Extended work session Chapman proposed an extended work session for 1 p.m. Monday for elected officials, department heads and key deputies to discuss with the board the sales tax rate and other big-ticket items. “None of us are above anybody else,” Chapman told county officials. “I ask, please help us figure this out as we move forward.”
Mike Chapman Clallam County commissioner Chapman and newly sworn-in Commissioner Mark Ozias said they would support returning the sales tax rate to 8.4 percent. Peach said he was “firmly opposed” to the idea.
Ozias concerned Ozias, who defeated McEntire in last year’s election and took office last Tuesday, said he was “concerned about the sustainability” of the county budget. “I think it makes good sense to do this sooner rather than later as one step,” Ozias said. County Administrator Jim Jones said the sales tax holiday represents a loss of about $100,000 in monthly revenue. Clallam County budgeted to receive $4.6 million in sales tax revenue this year. For consumers, the tax break means a $100 purchase costs 20 cents less now than it did seven months ago. TURN

JOHN HOLM, 72, a linguist who helped bring the study of creole and pidgin languages into the scholarly mainstream, died Dec. 28 in Azeitão, Portugal. The cause was prostate cancer, his husband, Michael Pye, said. While hitchhiking through Mr. Holm Mexico and Central America as a teenager, Mr. Holm heard black Nicaraguans along the Caribbean coast speaking a non-Spanish language that seemed oddly familiar. They called it “pirate English,” a reference to its probable origin as a pidgin spoken on pirate and British Navy ships. Although Mr. Holm could barely understand what he was hearing, it planted the seed for what would become his life’s work: the study of creole and pidgin languages spoken by millions of people around the world, especially the English-derived creoles of the Caribbean. A pidgin is a reduced language used by groups with no language in common who need to communicate for trade or other purposes. A creole, by contrast, is a natural language developed from a mixture of different languages, like Haitian Creole, which is based on 18thcentury French but absorbed elements of Portuguese, Spanish and West African languages. Semi-creole languages, which Mr. Holm also studied — Afrikaans is an example — share even more traits with their vocabulary-source languages. After compiling the first dictionary of Bahamian English, Mr. Holm produced
a landmark study, the twovolume Pidgins and Creoles, which traced the socio-historical evolution of pidgins and creoles, explained their structures and described more than 100 varieties. “Pidgin and creole studies had generally been dismissed, largely because creole languages in particular were thought to be spoken almost exclusively by poor people of color and were considered to be bastardized versions of the European languages that contributed their vocabularies,” said Sarah Thomason, a linguist at the University of Michigan and an associate editor of The Journal of Historical Linguistics. “By publishing careful empirical studies of creole and semi-creole language structures, and by publicizing these languages in Pidgins and Creoles, John helped create one of the most exciting subfields of linguistics,” she added. John Alexander Holm was born May 16, 1943, in Jackson, Mich. He studied German, Spanish and Russian in high school.

Obama defends plans to tighten gun controls BY JOSH LEDERMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama moved Monday to expand background checks to cover more firearms sold at gun shows, online and anywhere else, aiming to curb gun violence despite unyielding opposition to new laws in Congress. Obama’s plan to broaden background checks forms the centerpiece of a broader package of gun control measures the president plans to take on his own in his final year in office. Although Obama can’t unilaterally change gun laws, the president is hoping that beefing up enforcement of existing laws can prevent at least some gun deaths in a country rife with them. “This is not going to solve every violent crime in this country,” Obama said. Still, he added, “It will potentially save lives and spare families the pain of these extraordinary losses.”
Under current law, only federally licensed gun dealers must conduct background checks on buyers, but many who sell guns at flea markets, on websites or in other informal settings don’t register as dealers. Gun control advocates say that loophole is exploited to skirt the background check requirement.
Updated guidance Now, the Justice Department’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will issue updated guidance that says the government should deem anyone “in the business” of selling guns to be a dealer, regardless of where he or she sells the guns. To that end, the government will consider other factors, including how many guns a person sells and how frequently, and whether those guns are sold for a profit. The executive actions on gun control fall far short of what Obama and like-minded lawmak-
ers attempted to accomplish with legislation in 2013, after a massacre at a Connecticut elementary school that shook the nation’s conscience. Even still, the more modest measures were sure to spark legal challenges from those who oppose any new impediments to buying guns. “We’re very comfortable that the president can legally take these actions now,” said Attorney General Loretta Lynch. Obama’s announcement was hailed by gun control advocates and Democratic lawmakers, who praised the president for refusing to cow to the National Rifle Association and similar groups. But even before the steps were unveiled, Republicans launched a pre-emptive campaign to try to thwart them. “The president is at minimum subverting the legislative branch, and potentially overturning its will,” said House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.

U.S. steps lightly around Saudi Arabia, Iran tensions BY MATTHEW LEE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration tread warily Monday around inflamed tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia that threaten several key U.S. foreign policy objectives.

Bahrain followed Saudi Arabia’s lead and severed diplomatic ties with Iran, while the UAE downgraded its diplomatic relations with it. The U.S. official said Kerry urged calm and warned against overreaction that some fear could lead to a sectarian war between Sunni-led Saudi Arabia and Shi-
ite-ruled Iran. Also Monday, Iran expressed “regret” over two attacks on Saudi Arabian diplomatic missions and said it will spare no effort in arresting and prosecuting those responsible. U.S. officials said the administration is loath to insert itself into the row between Riyadh and Tehran but wants to ensure the viability of the fight against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria, nascent attempts to end Syria’s civil war and the Iran nuclear deal.

World: Earthquake shakes northeast India, kills eight
A FEDERAL OFFICIAL said immigration agents conducted raids in several southern states over the weekend and detained 121 adults and children who have been slated for deportation. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said in a statement Monday that those detained in the raids in Georgia, Texas and North Carolina were primarily members of Central American families that crossed the U.S. border with Mexico since May 2014. The detentions constitute a small portion of the more than 100,000 Central Americans who crossed into the U.S. during an immigration surge that began in 2014.
FLORIDA HAS A backlog of more than 13,000 rape kits that have not been tested or submitted for processing, and managing them could cost the state tens of millions of dollars and take several years, according to a report released Monday. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement conducted the $300,000 study on the number of untested kits and will present its findings to the Legislature. Of the 13,345 rape kits in Florida that have gone untested, authorities said in Monday’s report that 9,484 should have been submitted. Backlogs of untested rape kits have been an issue across the U.S.
A TURKISH NEWS agency said nine foreign nationals suspected of being members of the Islamic State group were detained Monday as they tried to enter the country illegally from Syria. Citing local authorities, the Dogan news agency reported that the suspects were detained in Turkey’s southern province of Kilis, which borders Syria. Last week, Turkish police detained two suspected militants believed to be planning suicide attacks during New Year celebrations in central Ankara. Turkish authorities scaled up operations against suspected cells after a double suicide bombing killed more than 100 people in Ankara in October.
A STRONG EARTHQUAKE damaged buildings, killed at least eight people and injured more than 100 in India’s remote northeast region early Monday. The death and injuries were caused by falling debris.

He did not give details but told reporters the situation was still being assessed. Three people were killed in Imphal and five in other parts of the state, said police officer A.K. Jalajit. Media reports said five people were killed in neighboring Bangladesh, but there was no official confirmation.

The picture for discussion is “Trumbo,” the story of Academy Award-winning screenwriter Dalton Trumbo (1905-1976), one of the blacklisted Hollywood Ten and the writer of movies including “Roman Holiday” and “The Brave One.” Bruce Hattendorf, a film scholar and dean of instruction at Peninsula College, will get the conversation started in the theater after this evening’s
7:40 p.m. showing. “Trumbo” stars Bryan Cranston in the title role, along with Helen Mirren as Hedda Hopper and Diane Lane as Cleo Trumbo. John Goodman and Louis C.K. also appear. Hattendorf, for his part, will share his thoughts on the Hollywood Blacklist — and the similarities between the McCarthy era of the 1950s and what we’re witnessing in today’s volatile political climate, noted Janette Force, executive director of the Port Townsend Film Festival. For information about the film salons held at the Rose every first Tuesday of the month and other festival activities, phone 360-3791333 or visit PTfilmfest.com.
Helen Mirren portrays Hedda Hopper to Bryan Cranston’s Dalton Trumbo in “Trumbo,” the story of the blacklisted Hollywood Ten. The movie will be the subject of tonight’s film salon discussion at Port Townsend’s Rose Theatre.

PT man sought after allegedly biting wife BY PAUL GOTTLIEB PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT TOWNSEND — Authorities are looking for a Port Townsend man who fled on foot early Monday morning after allegedly biting his wife twice during an argument. Sean Washburn, 34, is being sought for investigation of domestic assault, being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of a controlled substance, officer Patrick Fudally said Monday in a prepared statement. Washburn was wearing a gray sweatshirt, black sweatpants and flip-flops when he left the couple’s apartment complex in the 200 block of Thomas Street
at about 5 a.m. Monday. Detective L u k e Bogues said Washburn’s wife did not r e q u i r e Washburn immediate hospitalization. Washburn was sleeping when she allegedly found methamphetamine in his sweatpants. “She found it in his pocket and wasted no time confronting him about it,” Bogues said. During the ensuing argument, Washburn allegedly prevented her from calling 9-1-1 and bit her on the neck and near her right breast.
BURNS, Ore. — Fatherand-son ranchers convicted of setting fire to federal grazing land reported to prison Monday as the armed anti-government activists who have taken up their cause maintained the occupation of a remote Oregon wildlife preserve. Federal authorities made no immediate attempt to retake the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in the remote high desert of eastern Oregon, which the activists seized last weekend as part of a decadeslong fight over public lands in the West.
No urgent reason
There appeared to be no urgent reason for federal officials to move in. No one has been hurt. No one is being held hostage. And because the refuge is a bleak and forbidding stretch of wilderness about 300 miles from Portland, in the middle of winter, the standoff is causing few if any disruptions. Meanwhile, the armed group said it wants an inquiry into whether the government is forcing ranchers off their land after the father and son were ordered back to prison for arson on federal grazing lands. ________ The group of about two Senior Staff Writer Paul Gottlieb dozen members calling can be reached at 360-452-2345, ext. itself Citizens for Constitu5060, or at pgottlieb@peninsuladaily tional Freedom demanded a government response news.com. Officers located a loaded shotgun in the living room. Port Townsend police and Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies were unable to find Washburn after the incident. Bogues said Washburn’s most recent convictions are third-degree assault and taking a motor vehicle without permission. Washburn should be considered dangerous, Fudally said. Anyone with information on his whereabouts should immediately call 9-1-1.

Ammon Bundy, one of the sons of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, speaks with reporters during a news conference at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge headquarters Monday near Burns, Ore. within five days related to the ranchers’ extended sentences. Ammon Bundy — one of the sons of rancher Cliven Bundy, who was involved in a 2014 Nevada standoff with the government over grazing rights — told reporters that Dwight Hammond and his son, Steven Hammond, were treated unfairly. The Hammonds were convicted of arson three years ago for fires on federal land in 2001 and 2006, one of which was set to cover up deer poaching, according to prosecutors.

He provided no other details. The Hammonds have distanced themselves from the protest group and many locals, including people who want to see federal lands made more accessible and don’t want the activists, fearing they might bring trouble.
Schools closed Sentences too short The men served their original sentences — three months for Dwight and one year for Steven. But an appeals court judge ruled the terms fell short of minimum sentences that require them to serve about four more years. Their sentences have been a rallying cry for the group, whose mostly male members said they want federal lands turned over to
Schools in the small town of Burns, about 30 miles from the refuge, were closed for the week out of concern for student safety. For the moment, the federal government was doing nothing to remove the activists but the FBI said it was monitoring the situation. The White House said President Barack Obama was aware of the situation and hoped it could be resolved peacefully.

Historian details life of unlikely hero BY ARWYN RICE PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — A 19th century Russian serf who seemed to find himself in peril time and again was an unlikely West End hero, said Rod Fleck, West End historian and Forks plannercity attorney. Timofei Tarakanov’s personal story of survival is wrapped around “three really bad days” that shaped the Pacific Northwest, Fleck told about 40 people at the Clallam County Historical Society’s “History Tales” presentation Sunday. “This guy deserves his own movie, or at least an action figure,” he said. The U.S., Russia and England wrestled over control of the American Northwest in the early 1800s. Tarakanov was a serf, property of a wealthy Russian. He was well-educated and served his owner as supercargo on ships carrying tons of furs and other trade goods across the Pacific, Fleck said. A “supercargo” was the clerk and representative of the owner of the ship’s cargo, whose authority was often second only to the ship’s captain. Fleck said that in following his owner’s wishes, Tarakanov likely landed in a battle in Alaska, the shipwreck of the Sv. Nikolai and captivity in Washington, and a political disaster in Hawaii. While Tarakanov’s published account of the Nikolai disaster do not include the earlier battle, Russian records show Tarakanov was probably present for the 1804 Battle of Sitka, then known as New Archangel, Fleck said. “If he wasn’t at the battle, then he arrived immediately after,” he said. Fleck noted that Tarakanov’s actions in dealing with a running conflict with tribes on the North Olympic Peninsula show he was no stranger to battle. The Nikolai on Sept. 28, 1808 set out to establish an Oregon base for fur trading and to grow food to supply

The crew consisted of the captain, Nikolai Bulagin, his 18-year-old wife, Anna Petrovna Bulagina, 12 Russian men, an Englishman, three “Aleut” men, and four Aleut women, two who of whom were “handmaidens” for Bulagina. On Oct. 29 of that year, Nikolai was becalmed off Destruction Island, she ship’s anchors broke and currents pushed the ship through the Quillayute Needles.
Unregistered navigation “Bulagin should get a medal just for that effort,” Fleck said of the captain’s navigation through the Needles without wind or motor assistance. On Nov. 1, gale winds from the southwest drove the ship aground near Ellen Creek, north of Rialto Beach. The crew was able to salvage much of the supplies they needed for survival, but before the ship could be fully unloaded, the Quileute tribe arrived to negotiate use of their beach. The Quileute were insistent that the trade include guns, and trade talks broke down. Rocks were thrown, hitting Tarakanov in the head,
and the crew members fired at the Quileute, killing several. They further angered the Quileute by taking 18 salmon set to dry. Crew members believed they had paid for the salmon by leaving a string of beads, but the Quileute saw it as theft, Fleck said. “Bulagin decided, ‘We’ll just walk south.’” Fleck said. “On the West End. In November,” he said. The map did not show the rivers they would have to cross to reach another ship at Gray’s Harbor, he said. They reached the Hoh River and negotiated with Hoh tribe members for safe passage. When the canoes entered the river, they pulled the drain plugs from the canoes, jumped from them and began swimming alongside the other canoe, Fleck said. While Nikolai crew members used their hands to paddle back to shore, the Hoh tribe members, with Bulagina and the female Aleuts, continued across. Bulagin broke down, and Tarakanov took command. They worked their way up the Hoh River and set up camp. A chieftain who then had
custody of Bulagina offered a trade — Bulagina for four guns. Bulagina refused and said she was treated better by her captor than by her husband. Her defection caused COURTESY ROD FLECK (2) Bulagin to have a complete mental breakdown, Fleck Top, a painting of New Amsterdam (Sitka, Alaska) in 1805, with three ships in the harbor. said.

winter, trading supplies with a Hoh elder who lived nearby. That spring, five members of the crew attempted to canoe to Gray’s Harbor and died; the remaining crew became enslaved, Fleck said. Bulagina was traded to another chieftain and died of illness; Bulagin never recovered from “a broken heart,” and also died, he said. Tarakanov survived by making kites and other items to entertain the chieftain who kept him captive. In May 1810, an American ship traded for Tarakanov and other crew mem-
bers, and he returned to New Amsterdam on June 9. A journal kept by Tarakanov during the Nikolai venture was published worldwide. Oral accounts by the Quileute, Hoh, and Makah tribes were recorded in the early 1930s. Tarakanov was then assigned to a venture to build a fort in Hawaii. However, the location chosen was adjacent to a sacred site associated with cannibalism, another ship was run
aground and the mission failed. Tarakanov was last recorded in Russia as a free citizen of Kirsk, at the age of 78. A monument built in 2015 honors the crew of the Nikolai. The structure is 22 miles south of Forks on Upper Hoh Road near where historians believe the crew members set up their winter camp. The monument was dedicated in a ceremony June 20, 2015.

County: Commissioners set to vote next Tuesday CONTINUED FROM A1 “I personally am willing to continue to talk about this, but this isn’t the panacea,” said Chapman, noting that the county will spend about $3 million in general fund reserves this year. Commissioners are scheduled to vote next Tuesday, Jan. 12 on a resolution notifying the state Department of Revenue of their intent to restore the optional sales tax effective April 1.
Because Revenue requires 75 days notice for counties to change their tax rates every quarter, commissioners must vote next week or wait to make the change effective July 1. “It would be real easy for Mark and I to just put the sales tax back on,” Chapman said. “Bill, you vote no and we just go our merry ways. But I think this is an opportunity, gentlemen, to bring our leadership team to the table and to ask what their
opinion is and to ask what other ideas do you have.” Peach and Ozias agreed. “I support it very much,” Peach said of Chapman’s proposal.

That’s a great idea.” Among the topics scheduled to be discussed Monday were the sales tax holiday, a proposal to conduct an independent review of the county administrator’s position and whether the board should re-establish a departmental liaison system. Chapman pitched the discussion “out of a respect
for elected officials, out of respect to the leadership team and just to make sure that we’re all operating off the same numbers.” “If the numbers are not supported by the leadership team, they shouldn’t be numbers that are adopted by the board of commissioners,” Chapman said.

Wash. senators introduce charter school proposal BY WALKER ORENSTEIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OLYMPIA, Wash. — The charter school system in Washington, struck down by a state Supreme Court ruling last September, has new hope in a bipartisan proposal introduced by lawmakers Monday that seeks to make the schools constitutional. Democratic Sen. Andy
Billig and Republican Sen. Michael Baumgartner, both from Spokane, filed Senate Bill 6163 to make charter schools accountable to locally elected school boards. In striking down the state’s voter-approved charter school law, the high court previously took issue that charter schools were supported with state dollars and governed by a board not elected by residents.

PORT TOWNSEND — The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners on Monday elected its first female board chair. District 3 Commissioner Kathleen Kler, 63, received unanimous support from her fellow commissioners, District 1 Commissioner Phil Johnson and District 2 Commissioner David Sullivan, who made the original motion. “It does mean something, but it is a shame that it has to be recognized,” Kler, a Quilcene resident, said. “We need to get past the ‘first’ and go straight to ‘equality.’ ” Kler said she expected her presence would not substantially change the tone of the board other than injecting levity “and a sense of the absurd” like her predecessor, John Austin. “We are coming out of a recession and some hard times,” she said. “We have the opportunity to move from reactive to proactive, where we are moving toward specific goals rather than reacting to crises.”

Marco Rubio doesn’t add up MATH WAS NEVER my strongest subject, so maybe I’m just not crunching the numbers right. But the more I stare at them, the less sense Marco Rubio makes. Rubio as the Frank front-runner, I mean. As the Bruni probable Republican nominee. According to oddsmakers and prediction markets, he’s the best bet. According to many commentators, too. But Iowa is less than a month away, and in two recent polls of Republican voters there, he’s a distant third, far behind Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. So he’s killing it in New Hampshire, right? Wrong. A survey from two weeks ago had him second to Trump there, but another, just days earlier, put him in third place — after Trump and Cruz, again. There’s no inkling of a surge, and it’s not as if pro-Rubio forces have been holding off on advertising that will turn the tide. Plenty of ads have already run. In fact the rap on Rubio is that he counts too much on them and spends too little time on the trail.
Rubio can’t claim a singularly formidable campaign organization, with a remarkably robust platoon of ground troops. His fundraising hasn’t been exceptional. His promise seems to lie instead in his biography as the son of hardworking Cuban immigrants, in his good looks, in the polish of his oratory, in the nimbleness with which he debates. And in this: Reasonable people can’t stomach the thought of Trump or Cruz as the nominee. We can’t accept what that would say about America, or what that could mean for it. Rubio is the flawed, rickety lifeboat we cling to, the amulet we clutch. He’ll prevail because he must. The alternative is simply too perverse (Trump) or too cruel (Cruz). But so much about him and the contention that he’s poised for victory is puzzling. Because this is his first national campaign, reporters (and opponents) are digging into his past more vigorously than ever, and it’s unclear how much fodder it holds and how much defense he’ll have to play. Just last week, The Washington Post reported that in 2002, when he was the majority whip in the Florida House of Representatives, he used statehouse stationery to write a letter in support of a real estate license for his sister’s husband, who had
served 12 years in federal prison for distributing $15 million worth of cocaine. Rubio, 44, is only now coming into focus. He’s frequently been called the Republican Obama — because he’s young, a trailblazing minority and a serious presidential contender while still a firstterm senator. But a prominent GOP strategist told me that Rubio reminds him more of another Democratic president. “He’s the Republican Bill Clinton,” the strategist said, referring to the slickness with which Rubio shifts shapes and the confidence with which he straddles ideological divides. He’s a conservative crusader, happy to carry the banner of the Tea Party. He’s a coolheaded pragmatist, ready to do the bidding of Wall Street donors. He pushed for a comprehensive immigration-reform bill, including a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, until he suddenly stepped away from it. He has said that he opposes abortion even in cases of rape or incest, but he has also said that he’d back less extreme regulations if they were the only attainable ones. “Rubio’s inclusiveness can invite caricature,” Evan Osnos observed in The New Yorker in late November. “He considers himself a Catholic, but he attends two churches — an evan-

gelical Protestant service on Saturdays and a Roman Catholic Mass on Sundays.” By dint of his heritage, he’s supposed to represent a muchneeded Republican bridge to Latinos. But many of his positions impede that, and several recent polls raise doubts about the strength of his appeal to Latino voters. There’s no theme in his campaign more incessantly trumpeted than a generational one. Declaiming that Hillary Clinton, 68, is yesterday, he presents himself as tomorrow, an ambassador for young voters who’ll presumably bring more of them, too, to the Republican camp. But in a Washington Post/ABC News poll in late November, his support was more than twice as strong among Republican voters 65 and older as among those younger than 50. And he’s at sharp odds with millennials on a range of issues. Most of them favor same-sex marriage; he doesn’t. Most are wary of government surveillance; he’s one of its fiercest proponents. Unlike him, they want marijuana legalized. Unlike him, they want decisive government action against climate change. And they’re not swayed by unwrinkled skin and a relatively full head of dark hair.

the one most clearly buoyed by young voters. So what does Rubio offer them? He communicates a message — a gleam — of hope. He’s a smoother salesman and more talented politician than most of his Republican rivals. That’s why I still buy the argument that he’s the one to watch, especially given his party’s long history of selecting less provocative candidates over firebrands. I still nod at the notion that if he merely finishes ahead of Christie, Jeb Bush and other candidates who are vying for mainstream Republicans in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, they’ll fade, their supporters will flock to him and he’ll be lifted above Cruz and even above Trump, who could implode at any moment anyway. But over the past three decades, no Republican or Democrat — with the exception of Bill Clinton — lost both Iowa and New Hampshire and survived that crisis in momentum to win the nomination. If that’s Rubio’s path, it’s an unusual one. In an unusual year, yes. But as the wait for his candidacy to heat up lengthens, I wonder: Could he burn out before he ever catches fire?

If you truly care about our community and nation, you will vote for the Sequim School District bond in February.

Underestimating the Trump coalition EVERY NEW YEAR’S, in a spirit of self-examination, I try to catalog my worst blunders from the preceding year. But this year, like Ross almost every Douthat pundit in America, I have one mistake that overshadows all the others, one confession that makes my other faults seem venial by comparison. I underestimated Donald Trump. To really make a clean breast on this issue, I have to reach back earlier than 2015 (some forecasts take more than a year to be disproved), to a column I wrote in the far-off days of the 2012 campaign, when Mitt Romney flew to Vegas, baby, to accept an endorsement from the Donald. This struck me, at the time, as a needless move by Mitt, because it left him sticky with the tar of Trump’s birther nonsense while delivering little in return. The idea that Romney needed
the kind of voters excited by Trump’s flamethrower style, I wrote, confused “the existence of a fan base (which Trump certainly has) with the existence of a meaningful constituency (which he almost certainly does not).” And even if there were real Trumpistas, Romney would win their allegiance eventually: “Anyone who thrills to Trump’s slashing attacks on the president probably isn’t sitting this election out.” As a third-party candidate, I went on, Trump might pose some danger to Romney’s general-election chances. But Trump’s “third party rumblings are like his birther bluster — sound and fury, signifying only ego.” And Romney would risk little with conservatives by giving him the stiff arm. “Trump isn’t Rush Limbaugh or Sarah Palin: His conservatism is feigned, his right-wing fans are temporary admirers with no deep commitment to his brand or cause, and hardly anyone in the conservative media is likely to rise to his defense.” Now, if I were the sort to engage in special pleading, I would note that this might not

have been technically wrong as an analysis of the status quo in 2012. I still don’t think Trump would have run third party if Romney had stiffed him, for instance, and I’m quite sure that right-wing talk radio wouldn’t have backed him if he had. But don’t let the technicalities fool you: I sold Trump wildly short, and his entire campaign to date has proved it. First, Trump has had a very easy time turning his celebrity fan base into a meaningful constituency. Exactly how meaningful remains to be seen, but for months, far more Republicans have told pollsters that they intend to vote for him than have rallied to any other banner. They might not all be Trump voters in the end, but that there is a significant Trump faction in our politics no sane observer can deny. Second, that faction has turned out to include precisely the kind of voters Romney needed in 2012 and who stayed home instead: Blue-collar whites with moderate views on economics and a weak attachment to the institutional GOP.
(So weak, a recent New York Times analysis makes clear, that many are still registered Democrats.) These “missing white voters” might not have put Romney over the top, but they certainly would have helped his chances in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan — all places where Trump is running strongly at the moment. Third, even as he’s wooed the disaffected and nonideological, Trump has also won over or at least neutralized an important segment of the conservative media. He isn’t Rush Limbaugh or Sarah Palin, sure, but they’ve both been covering for him, as have a raft of performers who like to portray themselves as keepers of True Conservatism’s flame. And this cover has enabled Trump — no True Conservative himself, to put it mildly — to put together an unusual coalition, a mix of hard-right and radicalcenter voters, that’s unlike anything in recent politics. Now, if I wanted to avoid giving Trump his due, I could claim that I didn’t underestimate him, I misread everyone else — from the voters supporting him

despite his demagoguery to the right-wing entertainers willing to forgive his ideological deviations. I certainly overestimated poor Jeb Bush, whom I wrongly predicted would profit from Trump’s rise. But for the rest — no, I had a pretty low opinion of the rightwing entertainment complex to begin with, and I’m not remotely surprised that the white working class would rally to a candidate running on populist and nationalist themes. I am very surprised, though, that Trump himself would have the political savvy, the (relative) discipline and yes, the stamina required to exploit that opening and become that populist. And for that failure of imagination, I humbly repent. Of course, I’m not completely humbled. Indeed, I’m still proud enough to continue predicting, in defiance of national polling, that there’s still no way that Trump will actually be the 2016 Republican nominee. Trust me: I’m a pundit.

Hawks aren’t underdogs
Pirates doomed by slow 1st half
Seattle seeded last but is still one of NFC’s best BY VICTOR MATHER THE NEW YORK TIMES
BY LEE HORTON PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
ABERDEEN — The Peninsula Pirates were still settled down for a long winter’s nap in the first half of their nonleague men’s basketball game against Grays Harbor. In the second half, they sprang into action, realizing what was the matter. But it wasn’t quite enough. Peninsula, playing its first game in two weeks, went on the road and lost to Grays Harbor 81-80 on Sunday. The Pirates started slow and trailed 48-31 at halftime, but managed to make up 16 points of the 17-point deficit in one of their final tuneups before league play begins Saturday at Edmonds. Peninsula had four days of practices leading up to Sunday’s game, but coach Mitch Freeman said the Pirates were still adjusting from visiting their respective hometowns for Christmas break. “It’s always tough to get that competitive fire back,” Freeman said. “However, I thought we showed competitiveness and heart in the second half. It took a lot out of us to get to that point, and so it was a challenge from there on out.”
Dixon puts up 25 Peninsula shot 54 percent from the field in the second half, including 6 of 12 from 3-point range. Deonte Dixon paced the Pirates with 25 points and tied for the team lead with seven rebounds. He made 4 of 8 treys. Dixon ranks 12th in the Northwest Athletic Conference in scoring with an average of 19.1 points per game. Ryley Callaghan scored 16 points Sunday, and Malik Mayeux contributed 12 points and seven boards. Bryce Demecilio led Grays Harbor with 18 points, while Kodi Leslie finished with 13 and Jacob Rainey scored 12. The Chokers (2-8) entered Sunday with only one win this season, but they were playing their third game since Christmas. “Grays harbor was very aggressive,” Freeman said. “They were ready. I think we got their best game. “We just spotted them 17 points in the first half. “I think that opened up our eyes — ‘Hey, we need to pick this up.’ Hopefully that leads to a good practice tomorrow.” TURN

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (31) is stopped by Seattle Seahawks outside linebacker K.J. Wright (50), free safety Earl Thomas (29), defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin (77), defensive tackle Brandon Mebane (92) and middle linebacker Bobby Wagner (54) during the Seahawks’ 36-6 victory Sunday.
RENTON — The Seattle Seahawks have finished the season as the sixth and lowest seed in the NFC playoffs. They must travel to Minnesota for the first round, and will not get a home game no matter how far they advance. But looking past their lowly seeding, the Seahawks have the Playoffs potential to be an Sunday e x t r e m e l y vs. Vikings dangerous at Minneapolis team.

Since then they are 8-2, capped by a 36-6 blowout of the second-seeded Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Seattle’s numbers do not look like those of a typical sixth seed. Russell Wilson finished the year with the top passer rating in the league, and continues to be an elite rusher. Doug Baldwin caught 14 touchdowns to tie for the league lead. The third-round pick Tyler Lockett led in combined return yards. (Though he is out for the season with a broken ankle, the undrafted rookie running back Thomas Rawls also ranked first in yards per rush.) As a team, Seattle was fourth in the league in net yards per pass attempt and fifth in yards per play. TURN

Griffey, a favorite son of Northwest, awaits Hall BY TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ken Griffey Jr. smiles from beneath a pile of teammates who mobbed him after he scored the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning of the Mariners’ playoff win over the New York Yankees on Oct. 8, 1995.
SEATTLE — The perfect swing that we could never emulate. The diving, leaping catches we only dared to copy with Tim the protection Booth of pillows and couch cushions on the floor. The smile that told us baseball could be fun for even the best player of our generation. For those of us who grew up in the Pacific Northwest, Ken Griffey Jr. was the first transcendent star of our youth we could claim as our own. He was the guy that kids in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles were emulating. Yet we had the chance 81 times a season
to go inside the dreary concrete confines of the Kingdome and watch Griffey perform. He was ours. Griffey will almost assuredly be voted into the Hall of Fame this week (results will be announced Wednesday), potentially with the highest percentage ever. It will be a reinforcement of what we were able to watch up close. The ultimate accomplishment to go with all the numbers, awards and the fact that if not for Griffey’s greatness — and the success of the franchise in 1995 — Safeco Field never gets built and baseball may have left Seattle. When Griffey takes his place in Cooperstown, he’ll take the entire Northwest with him. Griffey wasn’t from our region, but we adopted him as ours. TURN

Griffey: Played like a kid
Pats’ Brady on injured ankle: ‘I’ve had worse’
CONTINUED FROM B1 He grew into an adult before our eyes and he taught us we could play the game with joy. Wear your hat backward. Smile. Laugh. Play with the same delight as if you were playing wiffle ball in the driveway with your buddies, arguing whether the fly ball cleared the power lines and landed for a home run. If The Kid played baseball like a kid, then it was OK for us to play that way. There had been other fantastic players to come through our region: Steve Largent, Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp to name a few. None of them matched what Griffey meant to us. Naughty By Nature’s “Hip Hop Hooray,” will always lead to flashbacks of watching Griffey stroll to the plate. Ken Griffey Jr. candy bars? We bought them. “Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball” for the Super Nintendo? We played it as much as the first versions of Madden. That No. 1 Upper Deck baseball card with Griffey’s smile? It’s never left the protective plastic case from the day it was purchased. Before every game was available on TV, summer nights were spent sitting outside listening to Dave Niehaus on the radio provide a living narrative to Griffey’s career, then staying up late to watch the local news hoping for a 20-second clip of the latest feat of No. 24. The homers and the catches are too numerous to list, all looking effortless. The Spider-Man into the wall at the Kingdome. The back-to-back homers with his dad and the shot off the warehouse in Baltimore. Bookend moments like homering in his first at-bat in the Kingdome and the final game there. The 56 homers and MVP in 1997, and a Gold Glove for each finger on both hands. And the most memorable moment in franchise history when Griffey’s sprinted home from first base to win Game 5 of

They’re going to wave him in. The throw to the plate will be late. The Mariners are going to play for the American League championship.” Griffey won’t be the first with a Mariners connection to reach the Hall of Fame. Gaylord Perry is in, but his link to Seattle is pitching his way to a 300th win during his 1½ seasons there. Niehaus is in for his years of service as the voice of baseball in the Pacific Northwest, creating a soundtrack that was easy on the ears if the baseball itself was for many seasons tough on the eyes. Randy Johnson entered a year ago, but he plied his Cy Young form while pitching in Arizona and elsewhere later in his career. This is where Griffey is different from anyone else with a Seattle connection. Drafted and cultivated through the Mariners farm system, he lived up to all the expectations that came from being a No. 1 overall draft pick and became the best player of
his generation. The criticisms of Griffey are valid. He never embraced the Northwest the way it engulfed him. Part of that was youth, part was demeanor. His departures from Seattle on both occasions were messy; the first time strong-arming a trade from the Mariners to Cincinnati before the 2000 season and then literally driving away in the middle of the 2010 season and calling it a career. Even with those blemishes, he is still beloved. Consider that when Griffey was inducted into Seattle’s Hall of Fame in 2013 it was the only sellout of that season and even Griffey was left wiping away tears by the end. “Sometimes I may have been standoffish. I didn’t mean to,” he said that night. “I just wanted to play baseball. And that was really the only thing that mattered was me going out there and playing and trying to win ballgames for this team.”
The bye week will come in handy for New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who could use the rest after Miami defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh landed on his right ankle in Sunday’s game. Brady threw only 21 passes for a season-low 134 yards in the 20-10 loss to the Dolphins — the Patriots’ fourth loss in their past six games. The reigning Super Bowl MVP was sacked two times and hit a half-dozen more, including a late shot from Olivier Vernon and the hit from Suh that left Brady limping. “I’ve had worse. I’ve had plenty of worse injuries than this one,” said Brady, who has had only one injury in his career that forced him to miss time — a seasonending knee injury in Week 1 of 2008. “Suh’s a big guy. He just came down on the back of me and . . . 300 pounds, he just collapses the back of your leg, there’s going to be some residual damage from that.” Brady said on his weekly radio appearance that he would be receiving treatment, “as always.” After winning the first 10 games to spur talk of a second undefeated season, the mounting injuries have taken their toll on the defending NFL champions. The Patriots finished 12-4 — good enough for their 12th AFC East title in 13 years and their sixth straight first-round postsea-

Coughlin resigns EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — With the New York Giants facing a difficult decision on his coaching future after four straight years out of the playoffs, Tom Coughlin walked away gracefully, doing what was best for him. The Giants gave him 12 years to run one of the NFL’s flagship organizations. He delivered two Super Bowls and restored the franchise to the league’s elite for a while. It was mutually beneficial, and so was the departure Monday when the 69-year-old Coughlin resigned rather than force coowners John Mara and Steve Tisch to fire him. The Giants announced the decision one day after the Giants (6-10) capped their third straight losing season with a 35-30 defeat against Philadelphia, their third in a row and sixth in seven games. “I met with [owners] John Mara and Steve Tisch this afternoon, and I informed them that it is in the best interest of the organization that I step down as head coach,” Coughlin said in a statement. “I strongly believe the time is right for me and my family, and . . . the Giants organization.”

Good year to be a wild card in NFL playoffs BY BARRY WILNER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It looks like it’s a good year to be a wild card in the NFL playoffs. The oddsmakers certainly think so, making Kansas City (3 points), Pittsburgh (2½), and Seattle (5½) favorites on the road in the opening round of the postseason. The only wild card that is an underdog is slumping Green Bay, and by only a point at Washington. Those wise guys also have made the sixth-seeded Seahawks the third choice to win the NFC at 9-4, behind Arizona and Carolina, each at 2-1 odds. The AFC’s sixth seed, the Steelers, also are the third choice behind division winners Denver and New England. As for the upcoming weekend, what they are thinking in Las Vegas is that none of the division winners — Redskins, Texans, Bengals or Vikings — is impressive. Indeed, much of the talk the past few weeks around the league was about which opponent was a must to avoid, with the Seahawks, Chiefs and Steelers the front-runners in that race. “You know what, I could honestly care less about what anybody says outside of this locker room,” Chiefs
tight end Travis Kelce said. “We know that we line up against anybody, that we’re confident that we’re going to get the job done.” They have done what’s necessary in 10 straight games for one of the great turnarounds in NFL history.
Wildcard schedule WILDCARD Saturday, Jan. 9 Kansas City (11-5) at Houston (9-7), 1:35 p.m. (ABC/ESPN) Pittsburgh (10-6) at Cincinnati (12-4), 5:15 p.m. (CBS) Sunday, Jan. 10 Seattle (10-6) at Minnesota (11-6), 10 a.m. (NBC) Green Bay (10-6) at Washington (9-7), 1:30 p.m. (FOX)
KC loaded and rolling The Chiefs rank first in the AFC with a plus-14 turnover margin. The defense is formidable and might get back its best player, linebacker Justin Houston (knee). They’re 5-3 on the road and already have won at the Texans, in the season opener, when Kansas City wasn’t nearly so strong. “First of all, they have a lot of good players and they have a really good coaching staff. That combination is tough,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien said. “On defense, they’ve got really good pass rushers with [Tamba] Hali and Houston, and they’ve got a good secondary playing at a high level, their linebackers fly around, their front seven is really, really good. “Offensively, Alex Smith’s had a good year, receivers, [Jeremy] Maclin; I know Jamaal Charles is on IR now, but they’ve still got running backs, Kelce the tight end, a really good

Kansas City’s Jeremy Maclin (19) celebrates his touchdown against the Oakland on Sunday. offensive line. So it’s a big challenge.” Although Pittsburgh stumbled badly in Week 16 with its loss at the Ravens, it got another chance when the moment proved too big for the Jets in Buffalo. Considering how the Steelers can ring up points on anyone, plus their strong postseason pedigree with leaders such as Ben Roethlisberger, Heath Miller, Cam Heyward, revitalized
James Harrison and coach Mike Tomlin, the Bengals can’t be thrilled with Saturday night’s matchup. Also remember the Steelers won in Cincinnati 33-20 a month ago, are 18-7 overall against their AFC North rivals since 2004, have won 21 of 26 at Riverfront or Paul Brown stadiums, and Cincy hasn’t won a playoff game since the 1990 season. “The postseason is a dif-
Considering how Minnesota has closed the schedule, winning three straight to grab the NFC North and also with a close defeat at Arizona before that, some might be surprised to see the Seahawks so heavily favored. If so, those folks have forgotten the shellacking Seattle handed the Vikings in Minneapolis in early December. For further emphasis, this is a more balanced Seahawks team than the squads that reached the past two Super Bowls. Its defense might not be quite as dynamic, but its offense is vastly superior to 2013 and ’14.
And there is this: Seattle fears no one. “I think people can sometimes forget who we are,” star cornerback Richard Sherman said. “We let a few penalties, weird calls or miscues change their perception, and then we come back and remind them.” Only the Packers among the wild cards don’t seem fearsome, mainly because their offense has frozen. Yet they play the perceived weakest of the division champion champions, so no one is counting out Aaron Rodgers and company. Also the Redskins (9-7) didn’t beat a team that finished with a winning record. This could be one of those years when being on the road in January matters little. Visitors went 118-138 this season, and the wild cards were a collective 19-13 away from home. Plus, it’s not as if nondivision champions can’t win Super Bowls. Indeed, the Steelers, Chiefs and Packers all have done it.

behind the Cardinals, who they just drilled on the road. In the first round, the Seahawks must travel to Minnesota, who at 11-5 won one more game than Seattle. Yet as of Monday morning, the Seahawks are a 5½-point favorite on Sunday, the biggest spread of the round. Despite the oddsmakers’
love for the Seahawks, they are still only the fourth or fifth favorite to win the Super Bowl, because winning three road games is a lot harder path than the two home games facing the Panthers and the Broncos. Still, with its potent offense and stingy defense, Seattle is clearly the one team no higher seeded team wants to face this year.

WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE 600 Capitol Way North Olympia, Washington 98501-1091
9931 Legal Notices 9931 Legal Notices Clallam County Clallam County NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, pursuant to CCC 26.10.410, that the Clallam County Department of Community Development (DCD) has scheduled a public hearing before the Clallam County Hearings Examiner for January 27, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. in Room 160 of the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 East Fourth Street, Port Angeles, WA 98362. The purpose of the hearing is to receive public testimony regarding a proposed Zoning Conditional Use Permit (CUP 2015-00007) and Variance for a 150 foot mono-pine (camouflaged to resemble as a pine tree) on a 9.13 acre parcel located near 686 Brigadoon Blvd (APN 033006-249160).
History: Zoning CUP (CUP 2015-03) for a 100 foot mono-snag design solely to accommodate Radio Pacific’s three FM antennas was approved on August 26, 2015 by the Clallam County Hearing Examiner on the above referenced site. This proposal entails the construction of a 150 foot high monopine that could accommodate FM antennas and provide three additional co-location opportunities for cellular carriers. This requires this proposal to obtain new permits and to go through the review process again.
Description: The applicant for this proposal is Ken Hays, Architect who is representing 104.9 FM (Radio Pacific). The proposal is to construct a new wireless communication facility (WCF) within a leased 50 by 50 foot (2,500 sq. ft) fenced compound area accessed by a 12-wide gravel road from Brigadoon Blvd. Inside the fenced compound area there would be a 150-foot tapered monopole (with an 80 inch diameter at the base), gravel surfacing, electrical and telephone service, a 10 by 10 foot equipment shelter, equipment cabinets, a selfcontained back up diesel generator, and ice bridges. No aviation lighting is proposed for the tower. This proposal includes the placement of three 20 foot long FM antennas at the top of the tower, a TMobile antenna array at 129 feet above ground level, and two other co-location opportunities at 119 & 109 feet above ground level. This proposal is in the NC Zone, which is a Preference Area 3. New WCF support towers in Preference Area 3 requires a Ty p e I I I C o n d i t i o n a l U s e Pe r m i t p e r Ta bl e 33.49.620 CCC. New support towers in Preference Area 3 can be a maximum of 100 feet in height and require a 150 foot radial screening buffer comprised of coniferous trees two-third the height of the tower. A Zoning Variance is required for this proposal because the height of the mono-pine exceeds 100 feet, and because the height of the existing trees within the radial screening buffer are currently only 67 feet in height.
Sealed bids for the following Public Works Project will be received until 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 20, 2016 at 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, Washington, and then and there be publicly opened and read.

$ Briefly . . . U.S. sues VW over diesel car scandal WASHINGTON — The Justice Department sued Volkswagen on Monday over emissions-cheating software found in nearly 600,000 vehicles sold in the United States, potentially exposing the company to billions in fines for clean air violations. The civil complaint against the German automaker, filed on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency in U.S. District Court in Detroit, alleges the company illegally installed software designed to make its “clean diesel” engines pass federal emissions standards while undergoing laboratory testing. The vehicles then switched off those measures in real-world driving conditions, spewing harmful gases at up to 40 times what is allowed under federal environmental standards. “Car manufacturers that fail to properly certify their cars and that defeat emission control systems breach the public trust, endanger public health and disadvantage competitors,” said John C. Cruden, the assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division. “The United States will pursue all appropriate remedies against Volkswagen to redress the violations of our nation’s clean air laws alleged in the complaint,” he said. The company is in the midst of negotiating a massive mandatory recall

FOR VETERANS
Swain’s General Store in Port Angeles, in conjunction with Georgia Boot, recently donated $1,010 to Voices for Veterans, a private organization that helps homeless and needy veterans in Clallam and Jefferson counties. During a special Swain’s sales promotion, Georgia Boot donated $5 per pair of its footwear, and because 101 pairs were sold, Swain’s matched each of those donations.

The voluntary counseling would have been authorized earlier by President Barack Obama’s health care law but for the outcry fanned by former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, who charged it would lead to “death panels.” Hastily dropped from the law, the personalized counseling has been rehabilitated through Medicare rules. But experts who watch Medicare as the standardssetter for the health system are looking elsewhere in the program. They’re paying

Today, the nation’s flagship health-care program is seeking better ways to balance cost, quality and access. The effort could redefine the doctor-patient relationship, or it could end up a muddle of well-intentioned but unworkable government regulations. The changes have been building slowly, veiled in a fog of acronyms and bureaucratic jargon. So far, the 2016 change getting the most attention is that Medicare will pay clinicians to counsel patients about options for care at the end of life.
attention to Medicare’s attempts to remake the way medical care is delivered to patients, by fostering teamwork among clinicians, emphasizing timely preventive services and paying close attention to patients’ transitions between hospital and home. Primary care doctors, the gatekeepers of health care, are the focus of much of Medicare’s effort. Patrick Conway, Medicare’s chief medical officer, said that nearly 8 million beneficiaries — about 20 percent of those in traditional Medicare — are now in “Accountable Care Organizations.” ACOs are recently introduced networks of doctors and hospitals that strive to deliver better quality care at lower cost. “Five years ago there was minimal incentive to coordinate care,” said Conway. “Physicians wanted to do well for their patients, but the financial incentives were completely aligned with volume.” Under the ACO model, clinical networks get part of their reimbursement for meeting quality or cost targets.
