5,000-square-foot expansion slated for summer finish

Inlet said ideal for tidal power

By Jeff Chew

SEQUIM — Construction of a $7.5 million, 5,000-square-foot addition to 7 Cedars Casino in Blyn should start in March, Ron Allen, Jamestown S’Klallam tribal chairman, said Tuesday. Speaking to more than 50 people at the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce luncheon at SunLand Golf & Country Club, Allen said a 300-room, seven-story twin-tower hotel resort planned south of the casino is Allen still five years away. Difficult loan financing must be secured, and a wastewater reclamation system such as the city of Sequim’s and a 600-car underground parking garage must be built for the hotel, Allen said. “We’re not letting go. If you’ve got a vision, don’t let go,” Allen said of the tribe’s long-term intentions to build the destination resort that he describes as a “four-star” world-class project.

UW studies potential of underwater turbines The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Nearly two years of monitoring show Admiralty Inlet is an ideal place to harness tidal energy, University of Washington researchers say. UW oceanographer Jim Thomson said they have measured currents of up to 8 knots, or 9 miles per hour, faster than initially expected. He said data collected so far also show the site isn’t used much by marine species. The Snohomish County Public Utility District wants to put two large turbines about 200 feet below the surface of Puget Sound.

Related construction He said the tribe decided to build a wastewater reclamation system specifically for the hotel resort because hooking up to the city of Sequim’s newly expanded water reclamation and sewer system would be too costly. Meanwhile, the casino addition will add a wing to the bingo hall and a restaurant. The facility, expected to be completed by next summer, will extend into the parking lot and bring the casino area to about 20,000 square feet, Allen said.

UW researchers have been monitoring water speed, ambient noise and water quality at the site. The pilot project would generate 100 kilowatts of electricity, or enough to power between 50 to 100 homes. “We think it’s a good site, and we think it’s the right place to do a pilot project,” said Thomson, who is also a UW assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering. The school has been working with the public utility to find a good spot for two 30-foot turbines that will likely be installed by the PUD in late 2013. Turn

PORT TOWNSEND — A portion of a year-end contribution to the Port Townsend Main Street Program can also count toward a business and occupation tax obligation. “If you choose to do this, you can determine exactly where your taxes go,” said Main Street board President Susan Windle. “And you can choose exactly how much goes to us and to your taxes.” Port Townsend Main Street has participated in the tax incentive program for five years and in 2009 earned $13,000, approximately 10 percent of its budget, from that source. Small businesses are assessed business and occupation taxes measured on the value of products, gross proceeds of sale or gross income of the business, according to the Washington Department of Revenue’s website, www.dor.wa.gov.

By Charlie Bermant CHIMACUM — When Mitch Brennan’s class decided to publish a fundraising calendar that would feature student art, they faced a mathematical problem — the class had 27 students and only 12 months in a year. The idea that emerged was that the Chimacum Elementary School class — composed of students from third to fifth grade — would print two calendars, each with a different set of drawings. And instead of just 12 months, the calendars would feature 13, inserting “Friendtober” between October and November — a month intended to be removed by the user. To even everything up, the 27th kid did the cover for both versions. “The art the kids do for the calendars doesn’t end up on the refrigCharlie Bermant/Peninsula Daily News erator and then get thrown away,” Students Halli Trafton, left, and Brianne Williamson chat while Seth Richey listens in Brennan said.

Usher kicked in face by frenzied fan BEING A SEX symbol has its dangers as Usher learned firsthand at his New York City concert. The crooner brought an ecstatic female fan onstage Monday night for a serenade of Usher his sensual song “Trading Places” at Madison Square Garden. He sat her on a couch while he caressed her. Then, after they changed positions, the overexcited fan tried to move her leg to get closer to him. Her stiletto boot heel knocked him in the nose. The fan tried to smooth things over by massaging Usher’s face, but there was no need: Usher wasn’t hurt and cracked a joke about it.

Copyright case Funk pioneer George Clinton wants a federal judge to force the Black Eyed Peas to shut up when it comes to sampling his music. Clinton sued the Grammywinning pop group in Los Angeles on Friday, claiming it used eleClinton ments of his 1979 song “(Not Just) Knee Deep” in remixes of its song “Shut Up.” The song first appeared

on the group’s 2003 album “Elephunk,” and it released “Shut Up Remix” the same year. It also was used in another remix included on the deluxe edition of the Peas’ 2009 release, “The E.N.D.,” according to the complaint. Clinton said he never granted permission for the use of his music, and he is seeking copyright infringement damages and an injunction to block further sales of the remixes.

A representative for attorney Ken Hertz, who represents the Black Eyed Peas, said he doesn’t comment on client issues. A phone message left for Universal Music Group was not immediately returned. Clinton claims producers tried to license “(Not Just) Knee Deep” in 2009, but he refused. He claims his signature was forged on a release form later provided to his attorneys and that he has never been paid royalties on the remixes.

Mr. Haeusserman, who died Dec. 8 in Huntsville, Ala., was buried Monday in a private serMr. vice. The Haeusserman Huntsville in 2008 Times, which first reported his death, said he died at Huntsville Hospital of complications from a fall. He is survived by his wife, Ruth. Mr. Haeusserman was with Dr. Wernher von Braun at Pennemunde, the German site where V-2 rockets were built in World War II. He joined the team of scientists and engineers who worked on America’s space program at Huntsville after the war. He was in charge of guidance and control systems for rockets that landed American astronauts on the moon in 1969.

Prize for chemistry for developing a technique that sped up the development of new drugs and the study of the molecules of life, died Friday in Richmond, Va. A spokeswoman for Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, where Dr. Fenn was a professor of chemistry, confirmed Dr. Fenn’s death but did not provide information about its cause or his survivors. Dr. Fenn was in his 70s when he published the research that won the Nobel Prize, focusing on a new way to identify and map proteins, carbohydrates, DNA and other large biological molecules. He shared the prize with Koichi Tanaka, an engineer in Kyoto, Japan, and Kurt Wüthrich, a professor of biophysics in Zurich, who worked independently on related protein research. Dr. Fenn improved a technique known as mass spectrometry, which identifies molecules like proteins by how quickly they are accelerated in an electric field. Using his approach, biologists can now identify molecules in a matter of seconds rather than weeks,

speeding up research on new drugs. The techniques have helped create a new field of biology, proteomics, in which scientists are trying to catalog the interplay of hundreds of thousands of proteins in human cells. The problem that had stymied biologists in using mass spectrometry on larger proteins is that such proteins clump together, and thus the scientists would end up measuring the clumps rather than individual proteins. Dr. Fenn’s breakthrough was to turn a solution containing the proteins into vapor. “We learned to make elephants fly,” Dr. Fenn said in an interview after the announcement of the Nobel. “There’s an awful lot of luck in this,” he added. “In fact, there’s a lot of luck in science.”

Colin Firth, left, portrays King George VI, and Helena Bonham Carter portrays the queen mother in a scene from “The King’s Speech.”

7 Globe nominations go to ‘King’s Speech’ Other top films include ‘The Social Network,’ ‘The Fighter’ The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — “The King’s Speech” is precisely the kind of film that has long appealed to awards voters: It’s historical, focuses on royalty, depicts a character overcoming physical adversity and features a classy cast. So, it should come as no surprise that it received the most Golden Globe nominations Tuesday with seven, including best picture, on a morning when there were few surprises to be found. The film’s director, Tom Hooper, was also among the nominees, as were stars Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter. Based on the story of how King George VI (Firth) battled a stammer with the help of an unorthodox speech therapist (Rush) just prior to World War II, “The King’s Speech” hits all the right notes and does it with impeccable polish. But beneath the flawless production values and period trappings is a relevant story about uplift — always popular come

awards time. Other top nominees were David Fincher’s “The Social Network,” which traces the origins of Facebook, and David O. Russell’s “The Fighter,” inspired by the true story of Boston-area boxer “Irish” Micky Ward. Both films received six nominations, including best picture and best director.

Common thread seen “The Social Network” has been racking up top honors from critics groups across the country in recent days, including those in New York and Los Angeles. These may all sound vastly different, but Rush, a supportingactor nominee, sees a uniting thread among the front-runners. “When I look at the films that have been nominated and the films that have been emerging through festivals in the last couple of months, it’s fascinating to me. “Somebody actually did comment online that maybe we’re

going back to the great old days of the ’70s where films had a bit of meat and a bit of bite and a bit of social commentary,” he said. “The themes seem to be, particularly with our film, themes about leadership, communication, friendship — qualities that I think people are yearning for on some kind of grander scale. “And that applies to certainly the ones I’ve seen, like ‘The Social Network’ or the individual ruggedness through ‘127 Hours,’ it’s quite fascinating how these things become the zeitgeist.” The visceral, intimate “127 Hours,” based on the true story of a hiker who was trapped beneath a boulder for that duration, has also been a favorite so far, but it only received three Golden Globe nominations: best actor in a drama (James Franco), screenplay and original score. Still, it’s been in the mix among awards prognosticators and critics filling out their top-10 lists. Even some of the wackier picks that had people all worked up Tuesday morning — the flashy but critically panned “Burlesque” and “The Tourist” earning three nominations each, including best musical or comedy — also make some sense historically.

Earmarkers feast on pork one last time before diet Lawmakers try to put $1.27 trillion into ‘omnibus’ bill The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The spending barons on Capitol Hill, long used to muscling past opponents of bills larded with pet projects, are seeking one last victory before tea party-backed GOP insurgents storm Congress intent on ending the good old days of pork-barrel politics. You might call it the last running of the old bulls in Congress. In the waning days of the lameduck congressional session, Democrats controlling the Senate — in collaboration with a handful of old school Republicans — are pushing to wrap $1.27 trillion worth of unfinished budget work into a single “omnibus” appropriations bill. Their 1,900-plus-page bill

Quick Read

comes to the floor this week stuffed with provisions sought by lawmakers. It contains thousands of pet projects, known as earmarks, pushed by Democratic and GOP senators alike — despite a pledge by Republicans to give up such projects next year. “That omnibus bill will be loaded down with earmarks and pork-barrel spending, which is a direct — a direct — betrayal of the majority of voters on Nov. 2 who said ‘Stop the earmarking, stop the spending, stop the porkbarrel projects,”’ protested Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. Altogether, the bill contains about $8 billion worth of earmarks, less than in previous years since House Republicans didn’t ask for any. The earmarked funds equal

less than 1 percent of the measure. The catchall bill is designed to bankroll the operations of every Cabinet agency for the budget year that started Oct. 1, as well as $158 billion to pay for Pentagon operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. It also challenges President Barack Obama. One administration-opposed provision would block the Pentagon from transferring Guantanamo Bay prisoners to the United States. Another would provide $450 million for a program to develop a second engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter despite a veto threat by the administration, which said it’s a waste of money.

A gas pipeline that ruptured and caused a deadly explosion in a Northern California neighborhood showed no signs of corrosion and wasn’t dented or leaking, federal accident investigators said Tuesday. The National Transportation Safety Board has yet to determine what caused the transmission line to rupture Sept. 9, killing eight people and destroying dozens of homes. Investigators found no physical evidence of a pre-existing leak in the pipe pieces, nor did they see dents or gouges suggesting that someone struck the pipe with excavation equipment.

Tim Shoenfelt proposed to Hallie Richwine in March in the parking lot of Deb’s Heavenly Hash Diner in Marshallville, Ohio, 40 miles south of Cleveland. They returned Saturday to exchange vows there. The new wife said the diner seemed like the perfect wedding spot because it’s one of their favorite places. She met her husband 12 years ago at the University of Akron. They left the area for jobs in other states but eventually returned to northeast Ohio and reconnected in 2008.

A Wisconsin postal carrier said he simply wanted to cheer up a woman on his rounds who seemed “stressed out” when he decided to deliver mail in the buff. But upon further review, the worker told police that delivering mail while completely naked probably wasn’t a good idea. A police report said the 52-year-old man told the woman he would deliver the mail in the nude to her office in Whitefish Bay to make her laugh. The report said that Dec. 4, he brought the mail wearing only a smile. The mail carrier was arrested for lewd and lascivious behavior several days later.

Forks man is found guilty of murder By Paige Dickerson Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — Etienne Choquette of Forks was found guilty Tuesday of first-degree premeditated murder in the shooting death of Antonio Rodriguez Maldonado. A Clallam County Superior Court jury of six men and six women determined that Choquette — who turned 47 on the same day he was found guilty — fatally shot Rodriquez Maldonado, 33, at about 11 p.m. Sept. 24, 2009. Choquette, whose sentence will be enhanced because of the use of a firearm, faces from 20½ years

to life in prison and a fine of up to $50,000. Sentencing is scheduled Jan. 27. Choquette looked straight ahead with little expression as Judge Brooke Taylor polled the jury. “I think the jury did a good job and gave a lot of thought to the verdict,” said Deputy Prosecutor Ann Lundwall, who handled the case. “It was a very considered verdict, and a just one.” Juror April Lawson said that the jury debated the evidence from Monday afternoon until Tuesday afternoon with a break for the night hours.

“It was intense,” she said. “It was a lot harder than I thought it would be.” The prosecution argued during the trial that Choquette had become close with Forks resident Kellie White, who was the estranged girlfriend of Rodriguez Maldonado.

Taylor ruled in October that Choquette’s confession to police could be used against him. The defense had made a motion to exclude his statements because he wasn’t re-advised of his rights during the second interview, according to court documents. Choquette’s attorneys have said that he confessed to protect White, who he believed was also a suspect. Taylor ruled that because Choquette testified that he had understood his rights at the time and because he was properly advised of his right to remain silent at the beginning of the interview

Talked of abuse White had told Choqutte that Rodriquez Maldonado was abusing her and that she would be safer if he were dead, the prosecution said. Defense attorney Gary Sund said that the case was over before it began — when

process, his statements could be used, according to court documents. A .38-caliber revolver was found in the Quillayute River. Forks police officers testified that Choquette had told them he threw it there.

‘Faith in jury system’

happen later with Choquette. Lawson, who said she has served on a jury once before on a minor case, said the jurors primarily debated the evidence Monday and began to reach their decision Tuesday. “We took this very seriously,” she said. “It is a man’s life.” She said there wasn’t one thing in particular that the decision turned on. “It was everything, all of the evidence,” she said.

“I have a lot of faith in the jury system,” Sund said. “And I still believe in it. I’m not surprised with what they got to hear at trial. “This case was over when __________ the court failed to suppress his false confession.” Reporter Paige Dickerson can Sund said he wasn’t sure be reached at 360-417-3535 or at if an appeal would be filed, paige.dickerson@peninsuladaily but that discussion would news.com.

Clallam County approves $83.3 million budget By Rob Ollikainen Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — Clallam County commissioners Tuesday approved an $83.3 million budget for 2011 that keeps core services intact and draws $1.43 million from reserves. The same budget was discussed in two public hearings last week. No public testimony was taken.

“We had six months’ worth of discussion,” Commissioner Mike Chapman said. The county laid off four employees and left 19 positions unfilled to close what was originally a $3.1 million budget deficit in August. The $1.43 million drawn from reserves leaves more than $8.07 million in the

TACOMA — Police are trying to gather more information about a human foot that washed ashore in the city’s Tideflats area. Police spokesman Mark Fulghum said Tuesday that the right foot was still inside a boy’s size 6 “OzArk Trail” hiking boot and likely belonged to a juvenile or small adult. He said the boots were sold in Walmart stores from 2004 to 2005. The foot found recently is believed to have floated in from either the Puyallup River or Puget Sound. In late August, a right foot washed up on a beach on Whidbey Island. Island County sheriff’s officers said that foot likely belonged to a woman or a child. Adult feet clad in shoes — mostly running-style shoes known for their “air” buoyancy — have been washing ashore in Canada and the United States in the straits of Georgia and Juan de Fuca since 2007. Five were discovered in British Columbia. One foot clad in a black Everest-brand shoe was found on a North Olympic Peninsula beach near Pysht in August 2008. Few clues, even after DNA testing, have come forth on the identity of any of the feet. Fulghum said Tacoma police don’t know whether there might be any connection to the other cases.

Some oppose Carlsborg sewer project About 20 residents voice their concern, but businesses in favor of the proposal By Rob Ollikainen Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — A group of Carlsborg property owners told Clallam County commissioners Tuesday that a current proposal to build a sewer along Carlsborg Road stinks. Thanks but no thanks, they said in a public hearing to extend temporary zoning for Carlsborg, because the cost will be too high. Others said the existing Carlsborg Urban Growth Area, which needs a sewer to be valid and compliant with the 1990 Growth Management Act, will change the rural characteristic of the unincorporated village west of Sequim. “I reject this sewer proposal,” said Susanne Severeid of Carlsborg. “I reject the continuation of declaring Carlsborg an urban growth area. “We don’t need this sewer. We don’t want this sewer. We can’t afford this sewer. And we haven’t asked for this sewer.” Nearly 20 property owners spoke out against the

sewer proposal. A few business owners, however, spoke in favor of it. Urban growth areas like Carlsborg need sewers for businesses to expand. “We’re talking about our livelihoods here,” said Cory Startup, who owns businesses in Carlsborg Industrial Park. The estimated $15 million sewer and wastewater treatment plant is a joint project of Clallam County and the Clallam County Public Utility District. The county has already committed $4 million. PUD approved a draft facilities plan in August and sent it to the state for review. PUD would operate the sewer if a local utility district, or LUD, is formed in June and the sewer gets built, likely in 2012. “The effort to form an LUD is not, I repeat not, a grass-roots movement of the residents of Carlsborg,” Severeid said. “The only genuine grassroots movement here is to stop this sewer and the LUD, and to preserve the

rural flavor of Carlsborg.” Scott Frederick submitted a petition on behalf of Citizens for the Preservation of Carlsborg with more than 170 signatures of residents opposed to the project. “We don’t know the cost; we know that you don’t know the cost,” Frederick told the three county commissioners. “We have some real concerns about the sewer project as a whole.”

Lively public testimony After more than 90 minutes of lively public testimony, the commission unanimously extended interim zoning for the county to continue down its Growth Management Act compliance track. A state hearings board in April 2008 ruled that Carlsborg was noncompliant with the 1990 legislation because it doesn’t have a sewer. The deadline to extend interim zoning was today. Among those in favor of the project was Art Green, who owns a medical manu-

facturing company with 23 employees in the industrial park and wants to expand to a neighboring lot. “I think we should be finding a solution for the UGA, based on implementation in 2000,” Green said. “Hopefully, we can come up with a solution. I’d like to keep my company there. I’d like to have it continue to grow.” Startup said there are more than 150 business supporting 1,000 jobs in Carlsborg. “I don’t even know if I’m for or against the sewer,” he said. “I just need to preserve what I have.” Startup said the county should host more community forums to clear up misconceptions about the project. “I don’t know the cost, just like these people don’t know the cost,” he said. “If there’s an alternative, I’d sure like to hear it.”

Costs unknown Commissioner Steve Tharinger said the reason the county hasn’t hosted more forums is because the costs are still unclear. “Everyone needs to know that cost — we don’t know it yet,” Tharinger said. “We won’t know if there’s

any public grant money or other dollars to lower that price probably until about May or June. That’s part of the moving target here.” The project was one of a dozen targeted for a $10 million state loan, but whether the state approves the loan is up in the air. Washington faces a $5 billion budget deficit. Frederick said concerns over nitrates from septic systems polluting the groundwater were not supported in a 2004 study. He also said PUD has produced several different maps of the proposed local utility district, which, if formed, will determine the boundaries for sewer assessments.

Special benefits study

“We don’t know where they got their 10 percent.” Bryan Frazier and others said the urban growth area designation should be lifted and that rural zoning should take its place.

Liens, hookup fees Severeid said she and her neighbors are concerned over “possible multithousand-dollar liens against our property, hookup fees, monthly charges and possible costs to disable existing properly functioning septic systems.” “Commissioners, you cannot move forward without this community,” she said. Another sewer opponent, who answered his cell phone while addressing the commissioners, asked the audience members to raise their hand if they “don’t want the damn thing in.” Nearly everyone in the boardroom raised their hand. One of the few who didn’t said: “We don’t have enough information.”

A special benefits study would come first. “I’m not sure which map is the correct one for the LUD,” Frederick said. Frederick also questioned a nonbinding advisory petition that established the required 10 percent support for the local utility district. “We are seeing multiple ________ names on petitions of the PUD of the same Reporter Rob Ollikainen can be residencies — up to nine reached at 360-417-3537 or at rob. for the same residency,” ollikainen@peninsuladailynews.

‘Tuneup for the body’ slated for Thursday An evening of meditation is open to public

“[Geraldine Lesser and I] will simply focus our attention on seven areas of the body [the chakras], starting at the base of the spine, and sing specific notes and vowel sounds for each. In between, we will chant or hear special music.”

By Diane Urbani de la Paz

Peninsula Daily News

AGNEW — It’s like a tuneup for the body, while it relies on an open mind. A “sacred sound experience,” aka an evening of meditation, drumming, chanting and focusing on the chakras — the body’s energy system, according to ancient Indian tradition — is open to the public Thursday. The gathering is part of the monthly Intuitive Circle at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 73 Howe Road, off North Barr Road just east of Port Angeles. Admission is free, though a “gratitude offering” is welcome. Sophia Engkvist, a singer and songwriter, and Geraldine Lesser, a drummer and student of the chakra system, will lead the proceedings from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Together, they will use quartz-crystal singing bowls, drums, gongs, chimes — and the participants’ voices — to “take us on a journey,” Engkvist said. This two-hour trip “will be awakening, revealing, revi-

This is not a performance; it’s an opportunity. Geraldine and I are just facilitating the flow,” Engkvist added.

“We will simply focus our attention on seven areas of the body [the chakras], starting at the base of the spine, and sing specific notes and vowel sounds for each. In between, we will chant or hear special music.” “Our hope is that you can

relax and recharge while having some fun,” Engkvist said. Lesser, for her part, will offer a drumming meditation and a few chants in hopes of helping participants get in touch with their natural inner energy.

This is an evening to open the mind, she said, “a little further, to the possibility of having a good time and a little fun learning some new things about the world as we go round and round.” Engkvist acknowledged that this is an especially busy time to be inviting people to stop and chant for a couple of hours. “It’s only going to get busier, and you need rest and revitalization to keep going,” she said. “Oh, and we are going to have cookies and tea.” To find out more about the event and about Engkvist’s music, which includes an album titled “What If a Day,” e-mail songfire@ olympus.net.

‘Solar-oriented’ lots The proposed ordinance would include mandatory “solar-oriented” lots for major subdivisions and consideration of shading issues for major subdivision. It would require 65 per-

Peninsula spared from storm’s damage By Paige Dickerson Peninsula Daily News

Bursts of rain and high winds Tuesday hit areas of both Clallam and Jefferson counties but caused no major damage. Although sporadic downpours plagued the entire area — more on the West End than the rest of the North Olympic Peninsula — no heavy damage was incurred, and no more river flooding occurred after the weekend’s rising waters. The highest wind gusts Tuesday were in the West End and on the Hood Canal, according to Dennis D’Amico, Seattle meteorologist for the National Weather Service. A gust of 52 mph was recorded in the very early morning in Forks. Winds of 55 mph hit Tatoosh Island off Neah Bay.

Gusts in Brinnon Brinnon had the highest winds in East Jefferson County, with gusts of about 38 mph during the day Tuesday and about 40 mph

the night before, he said. The Weather Service is predicting more rain to come — but a slower, steadier rain than was seen Tuesday, said D’Amico. “We are looking for showers but not as unstable as we’ve seen [Tuesday],” he said. Port Angeles and Sequim will be spared much of the rain, with Forks and Neah Bay areas receiving the most, he said.

The rain Tuesday brought Forks up to 9.95 inches of rain for December alone — 3.36 inches above the typical rainfall by the middle of December, D’Amico said. The Weather Service has recorded 108.71 inches of rain for the year in Forks so far — or 9.06 feet, he said. AccuWeather had recorded an annual accumulation of 125.86 inches for Forks as of Monday.

West End

Russell Road closed

In Forks early Tuesday, hail, thunder and lightning were followed by off-and-on rain all day, said Mayor Bryon Monohon. “It was the sort of thing that if you holed down for about 15 minutes, it all went away,” he said. “It would be pouring, but in the sky to the west, you could see the end of the storm was close.” The Weather Service recorded just under a halfinch of rain — 0.42 inches — at the Quillayute Airport weather station Tuesday.

Russell Road in Forks remained closed Tuesday at the culvert for Mill Creek. “We are still trying to figure out what to do because we have some [federal] funding figured out, but we don’t know for sure that it is coming through,” Monohon said. The “rain shadow” effect — created by the Olympic Mountains blocking weather coming from the southwest — protected Port Angeles and Sequim from much of the weather. Port Angeles had a gust

of 41 mph Tuesday afternoon and 0.29 inches of rain. Sequim had gusts of 26 mph and very little rain, D’Amico said. The Port Townsend area had winds of about 33 mph Tuesday and about 0.08 inches of rain, D’Amico said. About 0.85 inches of rain were recorded in Brinnon, D’Amico said.

Duckabush River The Weather Service listed no flooding for the Duckabush River or the Dosewallips River. Brinnon Fire Chief Bob Herbst said that both lack monitoring equipment, and that the area did have high water last weekend. All roads have been reopened after floods Sunday, he said. The Duckabush soaked areas near Shorewood and Kelly Road on Sunday, and one family who lived in a fifth-wheel trailer in the area was evacuated,

Herbst said. “The owner informed me that he found that there was a mechanical problem and the trailer could not be moved, so it was left in the path of the flood,” Herbst said. “The occupants went to Shelton for the duration.” The Lazy C Development roads also were shut down because of water from the Dosewallips River and a tributary stream flowing over Appaloosa Drive, Herbst said. Jefferson County Roads Department placed boulders along the Lazy C Development roads earlier in the year, which prevented a washout of Appaloosa Drive on Sunday, Herbst said.

Kitsap woman killed Other areas of the state had more severe weather problems. Kitsap County sheriff’s deputies said 55-year-old Diane M. Walker was killed early Tuesday when a tree

blew down and crashed into her house near Southworth. Two others in the home were not hurt when a huge, old-growth Douglas fire smashed into the home just after midnight during a windy rain storm.

Six flood warnings At one point during last weekend, flood warnings were posted for more than 20 rivers in the state, but that was down to six by Monday night, with all receding. By Tuesday afternoon, only four flood warnings still were in effect. Those were for Skokomish River, Snohomish River, Snoqualomie River and Chahalis River.

Plans for the future could include another nine holes for a golf “academy” to teach newcomers to the game how to drive, pitch and putt.

Rayonier site Allen reiterated the tribe’s interest in developing the former mill site owned by Rayonier, which is on Port Angeles’ east side. “Port Angeles could be another Bar Harbor,” Allen

said of the quaint seaside village in Maine. “We think Port Angeles is a diamond in the rough and that the harbor has potential,” he told the audience. The tribe’s “Salish Village” concept for the 75 acres owned by Rayonier Properties LLC would see the site transformed into a “living community” of commercial, light industrial, residential, cultural, lodging, retail, convention and park uses nestled between a restored waterfront pier and upland wildlife habitat and urban farmland, Allen and architects with Gentry Architecture Collaborative in Port Angeles said.

Instead, he said, Jamestown S’Klallam the tribe would “be a player.” “Some want to see it go back to nature,” he said. “Some want it to be heavily developed. Some want it to

be somewhere in between.” The tribe also has agreed to pay for a Clallam County sheriff’s deputy and squad car for the Blyn area. “We are looking at one more [deputy] to be dedicated to the East End,” he said. He said the tribe’s extensive Christmas lights displayed throughout the Blyn village is part of “giving back.” “We’re making a difference and contributing to the development and welfare of the community,” he said.

Local merchants can use some of the extra money they make during the busy holiday season to pay their taxes in advance and double as a contribution to the Port Townsend Main Street Program.

Calendars: Sales have raised $1,800 this year Continued from A1 “The kids walk into the bank and other places around town and see their art on the wall, so it gives them a sense of pride — that along with the fact that it makes them some real money,” Brennan said. The class sells calendars, cards and recipe books for $8 each, or any two for $12, to community members and — the standard market for such items — out-of-town relatives.

Brennan said the sales have raised about $1,800 this year, down from the high of $2,500 three years ago, which pays for field trips, art supplies and technology. “We are getting less money from the state, so we need to get creative about paying for supplies and programs,” he said. The class’ profit margin is wide because it uses school equipment for printing and design, and students run all the machines.

As a result, the students learn a variety of skills to produce the handmade product.

Variety of skills This is still a time-consuming process, since pages are printed one at a time on the classroom printer. When things go wrong, as it did this week when one cartridge failed, Brennan must fix it himself. “I would have liked to take this to the local printer

and support that business, but it would have cost $6.50 per calendar,” Brennan said. “We couldn’t make any money at those rates.”

Unemployment up sightly on Peninsula By Rob Ollikainen Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — A growing work force contributed to a half-percent increase in North Olympic Peninsula unemployment, the state Employment Security Department reported Tuesday. While the state’s jobless rate remained flat, the Clallam County jobless rate rose from a revised 9.1 percent in October to 9.6 percent in November, and Jefferson County’s unemployment rate rose to 9.0 percent, up from 8.5 percent in

October. “The labor force grew in both counties,” said Elizabeth Scott, a regional economist for Employment Security. “We knew certain people would be coming back [to the work force] as things picked up, and things are starting to pick up. That’s one of the reasons you see that uptick.” Clallam County’s work force grew by 410 last month — from 30,230 to 30,640 — with 2,950 job seekers looking for work in November. Jefferson County’s labor

force grew by 150 — from 12,960 to 13,110 — with 1,180 unemployed last month. Scott said Clallam County lost 140 nonfarm jobs but gained 40 in retail trade and 30 in transportation and warehousing in November. New unemployment claims rose from 668 to 748 in Clallam County. “Jefferson County was very flat,” Scott said. New unemployment claims in Jefferson County rose from 183 to 207. Unemployment in both counties fell by a half-percent from Septem-

ber to October. The Peninsula’s unemployment rate crested in February at 11.5 percent in Clallam County and 10.9 percent in Jefferson County.

Highest in February Washington state’s jobless rate for November was unchanged from October at 9.2 percent, with only an estimated net gain of 100 jobs statewide over the month, Employment Security said. “Job growth is in a holding pattern,” Employment

Security Commissioner Paul Trause said. “We’re really experiencing just about the most tepid and uneventful recovery we’ve experienced since World War II,” said Greg Weeks, director of the department’s labor market and economic analysis section. The national unemployment rate rose from 9.6 percent to 9.8 percent. Despite predictions that the recovery will take years, Scott said: “Basically a lot of the economic data is really good.” The growth rate, gross

domestic product, smallbusiness optimism, consumer price index and the stock market are improving, Scott said. Whitman County in Eastern Washington had the lowest unemployment rate in November at 5.0 percent. Clark County in Southwest Washington had the highest at 13.1 percent.

No assault charges filed against Seattle officers for stomping Both now subject to internal investigation The Associated Press

SEATTLE — The Seattle city attorney’s office said Tuesday no assault charges will be filed against two Seattle police officers who stomped a prone Latino man in April. One officer used ethnically offensive language during the videotaped incident, authorities have said. “Though the incident

was marred by an unacceptable and unnecessary racist comment, our office concludes that neither officer’s conduct was criminal,” City Attorney Peter Holmes said in a statement.

‘Racist comment’ His announcement regarding Detective Shandy Cobane and patrol Officer Mary Lynne Woollum comes after the King

County prosecutor decided in September not to charge Cobane with malicious harassment under the state’s so-called “hate crime” law.

Commentary

In search of the perfect yule tree The best way to eliminate holiday stress is to shelve outdated notions of the perfectChristmas syndrome. This is not a perfect world. Pat Do you Neal think the first Christmas was perfect? Jesus was born in a barn! Christmas doesn’t have to be perfect, unless you’re talking about the perfect Christmas tree. I’ve always been very proud of cutting the perfect Christmas tree. We’re not after just any tree here. We are after the perfect alpine fir Christmas tree. Abies lasiocarpa grows high in the Olympic Mountains, and

there’s snow up there in December. Any Christmas tree expedition had better be prepared for blizzard conditions on treacherous roads. Sometimes you have to hunt around for a while to find a perfect Christmas tree. That’s because the tree’s degree of perfection occurs at an inverse ratio to its distance from a road. They say you should always tell someone where you’re going on your Christmas tree hunt and when you are coming back. Except that the locations of the perfect Christmas tree patches are a closely guarded secret I won’t give away. A low winter’s sun found me at the end of the road where the climb up the side of the mountain began. There was only a foot of snow, but it had a good crust that made it perfect to skid a tree back down the hill.

I started climbing. By the time I remembered I’d forgotten my water bottle, I was sweating like a walrus. At least I remembered the ax. It was sunset when I reached the crest of the ridge. I’ll never forget the view. It looked like a burning city of clouds the night before the end of the world. There was nothing to do but keep going. I needed a perfect tree, and it was one day closer to Christmas. Then I came out into a clearing in the forest — and there was the perfect tree. It was perfectly symmetrical without a limb out of place. There were little cones in the branches near the crown. I shook the blanket of snow loose and noticed the strangest thing. There was a bird’s nest in the lower branches. It looked like the nest of a Canada jay. This tree was so perfect, it

Peninsula Voices Economy is broke On Dec. 10, one frontpage headline [in the Clallam County edition] was “Back to the Drawing Board,” an article about a new welcome sign for Port Angeles — the stated cost is $50,000. The other headline was “‘Gross Waste of Public Money,’” an article about how the Washington State Parks Department spent $7 million on a $170,000 project. Politicians must understand that our economy is broke! We don’t have any money! Workers are not working! No tax money is coming in! Why can’t they understand that? They want to continue spending. Does the city of Port Angeles really need a new sign telling folks traveling into town where they are? I’ll bet all of them know where they are. The politicians must

stop spending on projects that can be done when times are better. Look at the Discovery Trail. It would be interesting to know how much money it has cost per mile, then what it costs per person using the trail. My guess is that 2 percent of the county residents have used it. That is a big expense for a few residents. What about the Elwha dams removal? The cleanest form of energy available to us, but they spend millions to take them out. I don’t get it. I think it is time for the politicians in the city, state and federal governments to start finding ways to stop spending our hard-earned tax dollars. Just say no! Gene Collet, Sequim

Delicious memory In “Rants and Raves” [Dec. 3], there was a rant from a person complaining of being served meatloaf instead of turkey at one of

was already decorated for Christmas with strands of silver lichen strung through the branches. I remembered the old Indian curse about messing with a Canada jay nest, but this was the perfect tree. I had to cut it down. It was getting dark. The belly of a moon showed through the clouds so I could see pretty well until I got in the timber. That’s when I lost the perfect tree. We started sliding down an icy slope. It was me or the tree, so I let go. After a while I worked my way to the bottom of the cliff, the tree fell off. The top was busted but I figured I could haywire it back together with the angel and nobody would know. I took off my belt and used it to lower the tree down the mountain. This was tough to do with my pants falling off.

the free dinners on Thanksgiving week. I was reminded of a mass demonstration that took place in the 1960s or early ’70s in Oakland, Calif. Truckloads of food were being distributed to the poor. It was interrupted by the arrival of a rowdy group and ended up in all the news broadcasts.

People started tossing the chicken they were given, shouting, “We want steak!” Well, what started with good intentions became a chaotic rampage. Now, what does this have to do with Sunday’s rant? One little seed of discontent grew into a giant, ugly mob.

I knew I was getting closer to the road once I hit an old clearcut. By the time I dragged the tree through the slash, the cones, bird’s nest and a lot of the bark and needles were stripped off the tree. A couple of limbs were broken clear off. None of that mattered once the tree tumbled down onto the road where my truck was parked. I’d found the perfect tree.

How much can we be shocked when one person complains of meatloaf? I’m 75 years old. Not much shocks or surprises me anymore. Many things make me happy. Having been born in the middle of the Great Depression and remembering much of the homefront efforts during

World War II, I’d like to share one particular incident. When, one Thanksgiving, we could not afford a turkey, my mother, being very inventive, mixed up a large bowl of ground beef, onions, eggs and bread crumbs, and shaped it into a turkey. Included were the drumsticks and wings, molded around popsicle sticks. She also prepared dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, Waldorf salad, green beans and pumpkin pie. When all the food was placed on the table, including a very convincing meatloaf turkey, my father proceeded to carve. I got a drumstick and Dad, crazy about white turkey breast, carved for himself from the top center his piece. It was one of the most fun and delicious Thanksgiving feasts in our family memories.

And every day, I file away these studies because I find them bizarrely interesting. In this column, I’m going to try to summarize as many of these studies as space allows. No single study is dispositive, but I hope these summaries can spark some conversations: n Female mammals tend to avoid close male relatives during moments of peak fertility in order to avoid inbreeding. For the journal Psychological Science, Debra Lieberman, Elizabeth Pillsworth and Martie Haselton tracked young women’s cell-phone calls. They found that these women had fewer and shorter calls with

their fathers during peak fertility days, but not with female relatives. n Classic research has suggested that the more people doubt their own beliefs the more, paradoxically, they are inclined to proselytize in favor of them. David Gal and Derek Rucker published a study in Psychological Science in which they presented some research subjects with evidence that undermined their core convictions. The subjects who were forced to confront the counterevidence went on to more forcefully advocate their original beliefs, thus confirming the earlier findings. n Physical contact improves team performance. For the journal Emotion, Michael Kraus, Cassey Huang and Dacher Keltner measured how frequently members of National Basketball Association teams touched each other. Teams that touched each other frequently early in the 2008-2009 season did better than teams that touched less frequently, even after accounting for player status, preseason expectations and early season performance. n According to John Gaski and Jeff Sagarin in the Journal of Neuroscience, Psychology and Economics, there is a surpris-

ingly strong relationship between daylight saving time and lower SAT scores. No explanation was offered. n For an article in The Review of Economics and Statistics, Mark Duggan, Randi Hjalmarsson and Brian Jacob investigated whether gun shows increase crime rates. They identified 3,400 gun shows in Texas and California and looked at crime rates for the areas around the shows for the following month. They found no relationship between gun shows and crime in either state. n Self-control consumes glucose in the brain. For an article in the journal Aggressive Behavior, Nathan DeWall, Timothy Deckman, Matthew Gaillot and Brad Bushman found that research subjects who consumed a glucose beverage behaved less aggressively than subjects who drank a placebo beverage. They found an indirect relationship between diabetes (a disorder marked by poor glucose toleration) and low self-control. States with high diabetes rates also had high crime rates. Countries with a different condition that leads to low glu-

cose levels had higher killing rates, both during wartime and during peacetime. n We tend to admire extroverted leaders. But Adam Grant, Francesca Gino and David Hofmann have added a wrinkle to this bias in an article in The Academy of Management Journal. They found that extraverted leaders perform best when their employees are passive, but this effect is reversed when the employees are proactive. In these cases, the extroverted leaders are less receptive to their employees’ initiatives. n Beautiful women should take up chess. Anna Dreber, Christer Gerdes and Patrik Gransmark wrote a Stockholm University working paper in which they found that male chess players pursue riskier strategies when they’re facing attractive female opponents, even though the risk-taking didn’t improve their performance. n People remember information that is hard to master. In a study for Cognition, Connor Diemand-Yauman, Daniel Oppenheimer and Erikka Vaughan found that information in hard-to-read fonts was better remembered than information

transmitted in easier fonts. n Would you rather date someone who dumped his or her last partner or someone who was the dumpee? For an article in Evolutionary Psychology, Christine Stanik, Robert Kurzban and Phoebe Ellsworth found that men will give a woman a lower rating when they learn that she dumped her last boyfriend, perhaps fearing they will be next. But women rated men more highly when they learned that they had done the dumping, perhaps seeing it as a sign of desirability. These studies remind us that we are strange, complicated creatures — deeply influenced by primordial biases and our current relationships. But you don’t have to settle for my summaries of these kinds of studies. Go to the National Affairs website, where there are links to Kevin Lewis’ daily batch of studies. A day without social science is like a day without sunshine.

Golf

Ready golf is good for all PLAY READY GOLF. Passed down by then-Port Townsend High School golf coach Jim Kerns, this simple lesson has stuck with me since I began playing the game in the late 1990s. Keep up with the group in Michael front of you, Carman park your cart or place your bag away from the green so the next group can swing to the green, read the green as you approach it, avoid the Sergio Garcia-esque wiggles and waggles, etc . . . Feel free to add your own addition. Basically, the adage boils down to being considerate and taking into account positioning and politeness while playing a round. I think I am on target with my playing pace when I am either just walking up to my approach shot to the green, or ready to swing as soon as the group in front has departed the putting green. I’ll usually give them a few more seconds to get to safe locations, behind trees, screens or what have you. If players behind me are showing more skill (not too difficult) or just plain playing at the speed of the University of Oregon’s football team’s offense, I will politely let them play through. For a certain local men’s club, the Ready Golf lesson had apparently been lost or obscured in recent years and pace of play was becoming a real concern. I won’t pull a Seymour Skinner and “out” the club with a poorlythought out pseudonym like L. Simpson or Lisa S., as the hapless principal did in a classic episode of “The Simpsons.” I just wanted to touch on this issue and show what a local men’s group had done to find a solution. Membership had made comments about a decreased pace of play at annual meetings. Being responsive, the club leadership put together a policy to help speed things up during rounds. The men’s club began to enforce their beefed up Pace of Play Policy last week. It boiled down to groups finishing their rounds in 4 hours and 15 minutes or less. Groups do have to clock-in after the first player in a group has hit and clock out after the final putt has been holed to avoid stroke or point penalties. They also had to finish within 10 minutes of the group in front of them to avoid penalties. While they might sound a little harsh, the rules have some wiggle in them for shotgun start events, and any penalty applies only to bragging rights and not official handicaps. It turns out the added enforcement may not have been necessary. No groups were penalized after the first day under the new policy. The “slowest” group finished with three minutes to spare and most groups finished under 3:55. All groups remembered to clock in and clock out and the men’s club committee didn’t find anyone who felt rushed or made to play differently. Every course is different, 4:15 may not be enough time to play 18 at a course with some large slopes and it may be ample time for some of our flatter tracks. I just want courtesy to be the overriding rule on all North Olympic Peninsula courses. I really don’t want to write about anything like this golf course fight (http://tinyurl.com/2exr9at) that happened in Auburn in 2008 after complaints of slow play. Play nice out there!

Down under thunder Wolves top Aussies in 65-52 win Peninsula Daily News

SEQUIM — The Sequim boys basketball team won its fifth straight game after holding off a foreign invader Tuesday night. The Wolves dropped St. Luke’s Grammar School of Sydney, Australia, 65-52, getting a second straight 20-point game from senior guard Nick Camporini. Sequim kept the Australians at bay most of the first half before eventually pulling away in the final two quarters. “I was really pleased with how our reserves played,” Sequim coach Greg Glasser said. “They came in and gave us a great effort and really energized our team.” Camporini dropped in 24 points for the Wolves one night after going for 20 in a big win over Olympic League rival Bremerton. Teammate Jason Brocklesby worked up a double-double, scoring 18 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Sequim shot out to a 10-point lead by the end of first quarter but allowed the Aussies to pull back within five points with the score at 33-28 at the half. The Wolves extended their lead in the third and didn’t look back. Sequim (3-1 in league, 6-1 overall) plays at Klahowya tonight.

Lee deal not just for cash By Ronald Blum

The Associated Press

Gonzaga guard Steven Gray, an Irondale native, is the lone senior on a Bulldog team that is off to its worst start since 1989-90.

Zags’ rocky road Difficult non-conference schedule rocks Gonzaga The Associated Press

SPOKANE — Gonzaga is 4-5, the worst record in coach Mark Few’s dozen years at the helm, and the team’s worst opening since the 1989-90 squad posted the same mark. Four of their losses are to teams ranked in the Top 25. With games coming up against No. 9 Baylor, Xavier, Oklahoma State, Wake Forest and No. 18 Memphis, even Few is beginning to wonder whether the tough nonconference scheduling has gone too far. “The schedule is just beating us up and really taking its toll, but we have to respond,” Few said.

Because they play in the lightly regarded West Coast Conference, the Zags have retained their status as a national power for the past decade by playing a murderer’s row of top opponents during the nonconference season. The most ranked opponents Gonzaga has played in a year was seven during the 2006-07 season. The losing has taken a toll. Gonzaga was ranked as high as No. 11 early in the season but is no longer receiving Top 25 votes. The Zags’ five losses have been to No. 6 Kansas State, No. 11 San Diego State, No. 12 Illi-

nois, No. 24 Notre Dame and unranked Washington State (7-1), which has the best record in the Pac-10. They have lost three games in a row. “We’ve got to keep our heads up,” center Robert Sacre said. “It’s a long season.” Players come to Gonzaga for the chance to play this type of schedule, Sacre said. “The coach trusts us,” Sacre said. “The schedule is for what he thinks this team could be.” Conventional wisdom is that the Zags will still win the WCC — they are 64-6 the past five seasons and have won 10 straight regular season titles — and reach a 13th consecutive NCAA tournament. But their run of 13 straight 20-win seasons is in jeopardy. Turn

NEW YORK — At some point, it seems, Cliff Lee figured it wasn’t about the money anymore. Baseball’s hottest free agent could have had $150 million and a spot on the biggest stage in the game with its most successful team — the New York Yankees, winners of 27 World Series. Instead, the star pitcher got up from the table and left $30 million behind. He picked the Philadelphia Phillies, Lee winners of just two titles in more than a century — and a team that brusquely traded him after he led them into the World Series in 2009. The PhilAlso . . . lies will give ■ There’s a him $120 mil- new front lion guaran- runner in teed over the MLB/B3 next five seasons, according to several people in baseball familiar with the deal. Why does a guy leave all that money behind? Apparently, because he had all he needed — something that agents and others in the financial end of baseball say happens more than you might expect. Lee and his family liked Philadelphia. Plus, his wife had complained that New York fans were rude and spat at the Rangers’ wives during the American League championship series this fall when Lee was pitching for Texas, his other big suitor this offseason. “Players seem to like living here,” Phillies chairman Bill Giles said. “There’s nice housing — and not as expensive as some other places if you want to buy or rent. The schools are good.” Turn

PT pool updates PORT TOWNSEND — The city of Port Townsend will be offering more time in the water after it made a series of improvements to its municipal pool facility and operations. A new chlorination system was purchased and installed, a new accounting system was introduced and hours of operations were expanded for the pool located at 250 Madison St. in Port Townsend.

A scholarship program was also created to help low income families gain better access to swimming lessons. There will be extended hours for a variety of operations, more swimming lessons added in the evening and on weekends and new classes added to the schedule. For more information on what’s new at the Port Townsend pool, phone 360385-7665.

Hawks ink lineman RENTON — The Seattle Seahawks have placed wide receiver Deon Butler on injured reserve and signed offensive lineman Paul Fanaika off the Cleveland Browns practice squad.

The Seahawks made the moves on Tuesday. Butler suffered a broken right leg catching a 2-yard touchdown pass late in Seattle’s 40-21 loss to San Francisco on Sunday. Butler underwent surgery Sunday night at Stanford Hospital and was expected to remain in the Bay Area for a few days to heal. He finished the season with 36 catches for 385 yards and four TDs. Fanaika was originally a seventh-round pick of Philadelphia in 2009. He spent the end of last season on Washington’s active roster before signing with the Browns in the offseason.

The acquisition of pitcher Cliff Lee gives the Philadelphia Phillies one of the deepest rotations in major league baseball history two seasons and maybe he was tired of orienting himself, learning new player parking lots and new gate attendants and new routes to new ballparks. He had a trial run with the Phillies at the end of 2009 — he did not get a ring — and chose the Phillies over the Yankees as the best way to get one. He chose chesty Jimmy Rollins and the rest of that confident band. Phillies fans should now study the traditional presumptiveness of Yankees fans. As of now, the Phillies should never lose a game in 2011. That’s how it works.

Zags: Rough schedule has Gonzaga reeling Continued from B1 In addition to the tough schedule, the Zags have been dogged by lousy defense, uneven guard play and a lingering Achilles’ injury to forward Elias Harris that has limited the NBA prospect to 10 points and 4 rebounds per game.

As a freshman last year, he averaged 15 points and 7 rebounds. Three-pointers are also killing the Zags, who are giving up nine per game. They are averaging 16 turnovers per game, three more than last year. They had 25 turnovers in the loss to Washington State.

Most of the losses have been close, with short slumps putting Gonzaga in a hole. “We have three- or fourminute lapses with total defensive breakdowns that lead to easy baskets, and that affects our offense a little bit,” Few said. “Before you know it, against these good teams,

you are down 10 or 12 points.” Kelly Olynyk, a 7-foot forward, is struggling, averaging only seven points per game. Starting point guard Demitri Goodson is averaging only three assists and five points per game. Irondale native Steven

Gray, the only senior, has played well as their top offensive weapon, averaging 18 points per game. Sacre is averaging nearly 12 points and 7.5 rebounds. The Zags have shown some fire. At Notre Dame on Saturday, they were down by 14 in the second half before rallying to trail by only two

in the final 13 seconds. But the Irish made free throws and time ran out. “We’ve played one of the hardest schedules in the nation this year,” Harris said. “I’m pretty sure if other teams played the same schedule, they’d be in the same situation probably right now.”

Governor’s budget fix: fewer state agencies The Associated Press

OLYMPIA — Gov. Chris Gregoire on Tuesday announced a plan that would consolidate several state agencies and eliminate three dozen boards and commissions, a move she said will save the state nearly $30 million over the next two years. Gregoire said her proposal would reduce the number of state agencies from 21 to nine, saving the state $22 million. The announcement is part of a multiday rollout of her two-year budget, set to be formally announced today. On Monday, Gregoire announced proposals to the state pension system and health care costs as part of her effort to address a projected $5 billion deficit for the next two-year budget. “To help offset the shortfall, we must put forward to the Legislature transformative ideas,” she said. “It can’t just be about cutting; it has to be about changing.”

Consolidations Under the plan, the Department of Fish and Wildlife, the State Parks and Recreation Commission, the Recreation and Conservation Office and the law enforcement unit of the Department of Natural Resources would be consolidated into a new Department of Conservation and Recreation. Gregoire also wants to create an Office of Civil Rights, which would encompass the consolidation of the state’s Human Rights Commission, Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprise, Commission on African Affairs, Commission on Hispanic Affairs and Commission on Asian

State workers OK furloughs The Associated Press

OLYMPIA — Gov. Chris Gregoire and state workers have reached an agreement on health insurance increases and a 3 percent salary decrease that will come in the form of unpaid leave. The agreement was reached Tuesday but needs to be ratified by the union, and the Legislature must approve funding for the overall contract. State workers currently pay 12 perPacific American Affairs. Other areas that would be consolidated under Gregoire’s proposal: ■ The work of the Columbia River Gorge Commission, the Pollution Liability Insurance Agency and the Department of Health’s reclaimed water program moves to the Department of Ecology. ■ The state Conservation Commission is merged into the Department of Agriculture. ■ The Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation is consolidated into the Department of Natural Resources. ■ The departments of General Administration, Personnel, Printing and portions of the Department of Information Services and the Office of Financial Management would merge into a new Department of Enterprise Services.

Cut 125 jobs Gregoire said that about 125 state jobs will be cut as a result, many of which would be seen as duplicates under the consolidation, such as receptionists or manager positions. Gregoire said she also wants to eliminate more

cent of their health care premium costs, and the state pays the rest. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, the state workers’ portion of the cost would increase to 15 percent. The health insurance change covers inflation, so it won’t save the state any money. But the furloughs will save the state $269 million over two years, of which $176 million will help address the state’s two-year projected budget shortfall of nearly $5 billion.

boards and commissions. More than 140 of the state’s boards and commissions were either eliminated or consolidated in past years. The move to eliminate an additional 36 would save the state an estimated $7.4 million, Gregoire’s office said.

Proposed eliminations Some of the groups that Gregoire suggests eliminating are the Council for Children and Families, the Family Policy Council and the Sentencing Guidelines Commission. Gregoire said she also wants to look for savings in corrections services, including opportunities to coordinate use of state prisons and local jails. She said the Department of Corrections was working with the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs to discuss options. A policy paper issued by the Governor’s Office Tuesday said one of the ideas being discussed is how to control health care costs, as well as how better to use jail space in the state instead of building new facilities or sending inmates out of state.

Gregoire said that most of the ideas presented Tuesday came out of her work with a bipartisan committee of people representing business, environment and other groups created earlier this year to help develop new strategies on dealing with the budget. Rep. Gary Alexander, R-Olympia and ranking Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee, called the proposals “a small part of the needed overhaul to the size and scope of government.” “The public wants an efficient, streamlined government that lives within existing revenues,” he said in a statement. Sen. Ed Murray, D-Seattle and chairman of the budget-writing Ways and Means Committee in the Senate, said that when lawmakers return to the Capitol for the 105-day legislative session that begins in January, they will have to make some tough changes. “We have two responsibilities in the next two years,” he said. “One is our responsibility to balance the budget, but the other is to decide what kind of state we want to be for the next 20 years.”

Hopes raised as retail sales rise The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A strong start to the holiday season is raising confidence that the consumer is back and that 2011 could be a better year for the economy than expected. Retail sales are rising, boosted by the best month for department stores in two years. Inflation remains tame. Businesses are restocking their shelves in anticipation of more consumer demand. And a survey of CEOs at America’s biggest companies suggests hiring will pick up in the next six months. (See lead item in the Briefly column.)

High unemployment remains a concern. The Federal Reserve singled out the nation’s 9.8 percent jobless rate Tuesday when it said it plans to maintain the pace of its $600 billion Treasury bond-buying program. But the latest government data, combined with an emerging package of tax cuts and long-term unemployment benefits, are prompting economists to ramp up their forecasts for growth in the months ahead. “We could be on the verge of a period of economic activity that will surprise everybody by how strong it is,” said Jonathan Basile, a

vice president for economics at Credit Suisse Securities. “That tends to happen in recoveries when everything starts to ignite at the same time.” Retail sales jumped 0.8 percent in November, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. It was the fifth straight monthly gain. Department stores led the way with a 2.8 percent gain, the biggest for this category since a 3 percent increase in November 2008. Retailers have been particularly aggressive in their holiday sales promotions this year, putting many consumers in the mood to spend

despite high unemployment and weak job gains. The holiday shopping season accounts for as much as 40 percent of annual revenue and profits for retailers. Consumer spending is closely watched because it accounts for 70 percent of total economic activity. A drop in retail sales in May and June had raised fears that the economy could be in danger of slipping back into recession. November’s better-thanexpected sales figures are prompting many economists to revise their forecasts for consumer spending growth in the OctoberDecember quarter.

$ Briefly . . . More hiring, spending expected NEW YORK — More top corporate executives expect to hire workers and boost spending on their companies over the next six months. A survey released Tuesday by Business Roundtable, an association of CEOs of big U.S. companies, shows 45 percent of executives say they expect their companies to add more workers. That’s the highest percentage who have said they planned to add jobs since the survey began in late 2002. Only 18 percent said they expected their work forces to shrink, one of the lowest readings over the past five years; 38 percent predict no change.

Untaxed smokes NEW YORK — New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s administration is suing a tobacco company in Washington state, saying it illegally sells and distributes untaxed cigarettes in New York. The suit was filed Tuesday in federal court in Brooklyn. It alleges that King Mountain Tobacco Co. made numerous shipments of unstamped cigarettes to New York state, a violation of three federal statutes. King Mountain is Native American-owned and is located on the Yakama reservation. The company’s CEO, Kamiakin Wheeler, said in a statement the city brought the suit because Bloomberg “hates Native Americans” and does not understand the rights of sovereign nations. Bloomberg has fought reservations in New York state that sell untaxed cigarettes. He says the practice cheats the city out of tax revenues.

Appeal filed LONGVIEW — Conservationists are challenging the approval of a Columbia River port that will export coal to Asia. Cowlitz County commissioners voted in November to allow a subsidiary of Australiabased Ambre Energy to redevelop a port near Longview to handle 5 million tons of coal annually. Earthjustice on Monday appealed the permit decision to the Washington state Shorelines Hearings Board on behalf of four conservation groups. Attorney Jan Hasselman said the county failed to consider the environmental effects of increased mining, trains transporting coal and potential threats to human health.

Medical marijuana tax targeted by state Peninsula Daily News news services

Serve thousands In the Seattle area, some of the collectives have dispensaries that serve thousands of members. The law is silent on such collectives, and prosecutors around the state have taken differing views on whether they’re permissible. The state Health Department maintains they’re not. The Revenue Department’s letter said medical marijuana isn’t exempt from the sales tax — as prescrip-

tion medications are — because it can’t be prescribed under state and federal law. Washington’s law instead requires an “authorization” from a medical professional. “We’re not involved in determining whether selling medical marijuana is illegal or not,” Gowrylow said. “Our job is to administer state tax codes. If you’re selling medical marijuana, it’s a retail sale.” The news upset medical marijuana activists. “My first reaction was, did they legalize it?” said Laura Healy, who helps run the Green Hope Patient Network in Shoreline. “How do you tax something that we’re technically not allowed to sell? You can’t have it both ways.” Dale Rogers, director of The Compassion Program, a nonprofit patient collective in Seattle, said taxing medical marijuana would have a disproportionate effect on low-income people, includ-

ing AIDS and multiple sclerosis patients already burdened by health care costs. Seattle medical marijuana attorney Douglas Hiatt noted that authorities in some counties continue to raid dispensaries and prosecute their operators, while those in some other counties — including King County, the state’s largest — have allowed them to stay in business. There’s even a new trade organization for the medical marijuana industry, the Washington Cannabis Association.

Port Angeles The North Olympic Peninsula’s first medical marijuana dispensary, Olympian Canna, is planning to open soon in Port Angeles. Police and city officials said they will allow it to operate as long the dispensary provides marijuana only to those who have been authorized to use it by a doctor. Requiring dispensaries to register with the state

and pay sales tax could expose those involved to criminal prosecution, in violation of their Fifth Amendment right to avoid selfincrimination, Hiatt said. Hiatt also argued medical marijuana authorizations are functionally equivalent to a prescription and should thus be exempt from the tax. Washington isn’t the only

state to address the issue of marijuana taxation. Mike Meno, spokesman for the Marijuana Policy Project in Washington, D.C., said Colorado and some California cities currently tax medical marijuana sold from dispensaries. Maine and Washington, D.C., plan to collect such taxes once their dispensary laws are up and running.

OLYMPIA — The state Department of Revenue has launched a statewide effort to collect sales tax from medical marijuana dispensaries — even as some prosecutors and the Health Department maintain such dispensaries are illegal. Spokesman Mike Gowrylow said Tuesday that the Revenue Department mailed letters to 90 dispensaries and related organizations Friday, insisting that medical marijuana is not exempt from state sales tax and that dispensaries must collect that money and turn it over to the state. The letter said dispensaries must also pay the state business and occupation tax. “We were contacted by a medical marijuana dispensary who was collecting sales tax and said many competitors weren’t,” Gowrylow said. “We went on the Web and tried to come up with all the names and addresses of

medical marijuana dispensaries to inform them they’re required to charge sales tax.” Voters approved medical marijuana in Washington in 1998, but the law does not allow for marijuana sales. Instead, patients must grow marijuana themselves or designate a caregiver to grow it for them. Because growing marijuana can be expensive and difficult, some patients have formed collectives to grow pot together, contributing dues to help cover costs.

CLASSIFIEDS, COMICS, PUZZLES, DEAR ABBY In this section

Tim Hockett/for Peninsula Daily News

Rich Ciccarone meets with clients in the OlyCAP/Peninsula Home Fund office in Port Townsend.

The helping hands behind the Home Fund EDITOR’S NOTE — For 21 years, Peninsula Daily News readers in Jefferson and Clallam counties have supported the “hand up, not a handout” Peninsula Home Fund. Today, we feature another in a series of articles on how the Home Fund operates and who benefits from our readers’ generosity. The next article will appear Sunday along with a list of new donors. Peninsula Daily News

For 21 years, the Peninsula Daily News’ “hand up, not a handout” Peninsula Home Fund has provided a unique lifeline on the North Olympic Peninsula. All the money collected for the Home Fund goes — without any deductions for overhead or administration — for hot meals for seniors, warm winter coats for kids, home repairs for the low-income, needed eyeglasses and prescription drugs, dental work, safe, drug-free temporary housing . . . The list goes on and on. The Home Fund is a safety net for local residents when there is nowhere else to turn. As the fund has grown, so has the OlyCAP work force that administers it — many of whom are big-hearted volunteers. OlyCAP is the nonprofit Olympic Community Action Programs, the No. 1 emergency care agency in Jefferson and Clallam counties. OlyCAP oversees the Peninsula Home Fund for the PDN, screening the applicants and distributing the funds. Here is an interview with Rich Ciccarone, a retired corporate executive from New York City who volunteers with OlyCAP in the agency’s Port Townsend office. The interview was conducted by Sheila Ramsey, AmeriCorps volunteer coordinator stationed at OlyCAP. Q, What is your work at OlyCAP? A. I provide help from the Home Fund, interviewing clients to determine their needs and eligibility for our services. In the course of any interview, I can offer the client financial assistance, a referral to an agency that can provide the support they need or, simply, encouragement if we are unable to assist. For example, when a woman came into the office, she wanted to “walk away” from her mortgage. We discussed what that would mean for her future, and I suggested she speak with someone on the mortgage-crisis hot line. Q. What is rewarding about this volunteer position? A. There is a sense of accomplishment knowing that you can help people in crisis. In addition, I have the ability to offer immediate assistance if possible. Unfortunately, there are circumstances where I can only offer a listening ear and genuine empathy. My minimum goal is to help people smile. When I leave OlyCAP, I feel fulfilled; like walking a foot

Give voice to your heart A GIFT OF any size is welcome. The Peninsula Home Fund has never been a campaign of heavy hitters.

Townsend, Sequim or Port Angeles (addresses on page A2 of the PDN daily). Again, all contributions are fully IRS tax-deductible. The fund’s IRS number, under the auspices of OlyCAP, is 91-0814319. You can also donate online by credit card — just visit www.peninsuladailynews.com, then click near the top of the home page on “Peninsula Home Fund.” Whether you donate by coupon or online, you will receive a written thank-you and acknowledgment of your contribution.

help those who are facing times of crisis. n All contributions are fully IRS tax-deductible. n Your personal information is kept confidential. Peninsula Daily News does not rent, sell, give or otherwise share your address or other information with anyone or make any other use of the information. n Instances of help are designed to get an individual or family through the crisis — and every effort is made to put them back on the path to self-sufficiency. That’s the “hand up, not a handout” focus of the fund. In many instances, Peninsula Home Fund case managers at OlyCAP work with individuals or families to develop a plan to become financially stable — and avoid a recurrence of the emergency that prompted aid from the fund. n Begun in 1989, the fund is supported entirely by Jefferson and Clallam residents. Individuals, couples, businesses, churches, service organizations and school groups set a record for contributions in 2009 — $230,806.95. With heavy demand this year, the carefully rationed fund is being rapidly depleted.

So far, $199,000 had been spent. The last $30,000 of the money collected in 2009 is expected to be exhausted before Dec. 31. n Money is usually distributed in small amounts, usually up to $150. n Assistance is limited to one time in a 12-month period. n Peninsula Home Fund contributions are also used in conjunction with money from other agencies, enabling OlyCAP to stretch the value of the contribution.

Applying to the Home Fund To apply for a grant from the fund, phone OlyCAP at 360-4524726 (Port Angeles and Sequim) or 360-385-2571 (Jefferson County). There’s also an OlyCAP office in Forks — 360-374-6193. If you have any questions about the fund, phone John Brewer, Peninsula Daily News editor and publisher, at 360-4173500. Or e-mail him at john.brewer@ peninsuladailynews.com. Peninsula Daily News publishes stories every Sunday and Wednesday during the fundraising campaign listing contributors and reporting on how the fund works.

The Last Word in Astrology By Eugenia Last

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If it’s not possible to have a day of pampering, consider an outing with the kids or fixing up your place. Avoid all the people who aggravate you and focus on those offering love and appreciation. 3 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll learn something about someone that will help you make a good choice. Love and romance are in the stars and time should be put aside to socialize, if you are single, or to spend time with the special person in your life. 3 stars

Rose is Rose

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Whether it’s someone you work with, a relative or just a good friend, use your imagination to come up with a token of your appreciation that will go over well. It will ensure you get the support you need emotionally, financially or professionally in the future. 4 stars

Elderberries

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Welcome change with open arms. Being adaptable will enhance your career and your future. Throw a little romance into the mix late in the day and you won’t be sorry. Don’t hold back when there is so much to say and do. 2 stars

Dennis the Menace

Doonesbury

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take time to have some fun with friends or colleagues. Mixing business with pleasure may not be wise. Don’t be fooled by a financial deal that has no substance. A personal relationship may take a nosedive if jealousy or possessiveness take over. 5 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Invite friends over or spend time decking the house with festive decorations. You have plenty to look forward to and to be thankful for. Love is on the rise and getting involved in something that uses your talent skillfully will pay off. 3 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You should sit back and observe. If you jump in too soon, you will face opposition and complaints. Changes within friendships can be expected and must be accepted for what they are. Be willing to move on. 5 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t be afraid to tell the people you love how you feel and what your intentions are. You need an emotional release and, in order to make it favorable, it’s important that you get your feelings out in the open. 2 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Someone will be very critical if you don’t stick to the rules. Politely turn down any invitation in which you have no interest and focus on something or someone who can add to your plans and your popularity. 3 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Use a little discipline and you will get back on track and feel good about what you are doing. You’ll make the people you love proud if you take on a responsibility that shows you are ready to do something good for others. 4 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Look at the past, present and future and you will see where you may have gone wrong. Back up and redo. Imagination, coupled with talent, will help you break ground in new territory. Network and sell your expertise. 3 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Make some adjustments to your surroundings. Romance looks favorable and can lead to a promise. A financial gain through winnings, a settlement, an old debt paid or even a gift is forthcoming. 3 stars

The third adult is Shelly Randall, one of The Little Guide creators. about the Port Townsend Cooperative Playschool, where she now goes with her daughter, Norma. Norma Avila, who has two sons, Carlos and Daniel, said the Cooperative Playschool was an important resource at a time when she had a huge change in her life. Both Gregg and Avila brought their children to the book release party, which was held at Randall’s house, as did Luke Cherney, who brought daughter Evelyn and her friend Aurora. “It’s nice to have something like this, where you’re not relying just on word-of-mouth,” Cherney said of the guide.

More births When Evelyn was born, Cherney said, the nurses told him and spouse Audrey Cherney, a childbirth educator who is expecting again, that Jefferson County was experiencing a bump in the number of babies being born. So a resource guide for parents is an idea whose time has come. Other “Did You Know?” listings: When your child turns 4,

Grant Street School offers a series of three free classes called “Ready for Kindergarten.” A local dentist offers free “happy visits” to familiarize young children with the dental office and the importance of dental hygiene. At a local grocery store, kids can sign up for a card that entitles them to a free apple, banana or carrot at each visit. And on Page 21, under “Diapering Resources,” you can find out where to order a diaper cake, the ultimate centerpiece for a baby shower. People whose children are grown can buy a guide to be placed in a church, public health center, women’s shelter or other community outreach program, the editors suggest. Having the guides available at the three WIC (Women, Infants and Children) clinics would be a natural way to reach mothers of young children throughout Jefferson County, she said. “The conduit is there,” Randall said. And the guide, sized to fit into a diaper bag, makes a great baby shower gift for an expectant

mother, Randall said, because that’s when she has the time to read it. The Little Guide is $10 and is available at Henery’s Hardware stores in Port Townsend and Quilcene, Sport Townsend and Seams to Last. To order a copy by mail or support the project by buying copies to be distributed, send a check to the Port Townsend Cooperative Playschool, P.O. Box 768, Port Townsend, WA 98368. You can designate where you want the copies to go and in whose name. For more information, e-mail Robin Mills at ptcpfundraising@ gmail.com or phone 360-3852517.

PORT TOWNSEND — The Port Townsend Food Co-op, 414 Kearney St., will observe NW Neutral Day from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday. Representatives of the Northwest Natural Resource Group, a Port Townsend-based forest stewardship nonprofit, will be at the front door to discuss the NW Neutral program and how it can help sustain quality of life. The staff at the co-op membership desk will help attendees learn about becoming carbon-neutral. NW Neutral is a program of Northwest Natural Resource Group (NNRG) that guarantees small forestlands will be healthy for a century or more by connecting local businesses and forestland owners who share a common goal of protecting the environment. By signing contracts with the NNRG to manage their forests according to standards of the Forest

Stewardship Council for 100 years, the landowners can sell their carbon offsets to businesses seeking to reduce their carbon footprint. NNRG’s Northwest Neutral Web page (http://nnrg. org/NW-Neutral) also notes that small, privately owned forestlands in the Pacific Northwest “are often at high risk of conversion to
