City eyes lifting water rules BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT TOWNSEND — The Port Townsend City Council will discuss lifting water restrictions when it meets Monday. The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. in council chambers at City Hall, 540 Water St. “There is plenty of water,” said Ken Clow, the city’s public works director. “All the levels are up, the rivers are full and more rain is

PORT TOWNSEND — Along with books, movies and other media, Port Townsend Library patrons now can check out a telescope for a week of examination of the night sky. “Now that we have a telescope available, the sky is the limit for the library,” said Melody Sky Eisler, director of the library. The telescope was given to the library at 1220 Lawrence St., in Port Townsend in September. The benefactor is Marc Stowbridge of the New Hampshire Astronomical Society, which has donated more than 100 telescopes nationwide to public libraries to help fulfill their educational mission, Eisler said. Stowbridge is a lifelong friend of Port Townsend residents Rob Peck and M.J. Peck, Eisler said.

Flatley plans one last U.S. dance tour MICHAEL FLATLEY’S AILING legs will apparently be healthy enough for one last American tour. The trailblazing former “Riverdance” star said Thursday he and his farewell show, “Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games,” will strike out on the road and hit such cities as Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Dallas and Los Angeles after his stint ends on Broadway early next year. “We have heard requests from our fans across the country who could not make it to New York to bring the show to them and we have decided to do a small tour of the U.S.,” Flatley said in a statement. “I haven’t performed in America for years and we are really looking forward to ending this tour and my time on stage with a bang!” Flatley’s 17-city U.S. tour kicks off in Sunrise, Florida, on Feb. 19, and then goes to Georgia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Texas, Colorado, California, Arizona and Washington, D.C.

He appears at the encore of each evening show, dancing alongside holographic movies of his iconic dances. The tour will mark his official retirement from dancing. He’s said he’s been suffering from spinal, knee, foot and rib pain — the result of years of Irish stepdancing infused with tap and modern dance. Flatley, born into a bluecollar Irish-American family in Chicago, was catapulted to fame after co-choreographing “Riverdance,” which was first performed

as a seven-minute interval break in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994. He and dancer Jean Butler helped extend it into a full-length show and it opened at Dublin’s Point Theatre in 1995, at a time of renewed Irish optimism and pride surrounding the onset of the booming “Celtic Tiger” economy. Flatley, 57, went on to create his own shows, “Feet of Flames” and “Celtic Tiger.” His “Lord of the Dance” premiered in 1996 and has been seen by more than 60 million people in 60 different countries, including 400,000 during a five-year residency in Las Vegas.

Jerry Martini, her longtime friend and fellow horn player in the band, said Wednes- Ms. Robinson day that in 2001 he was among those with her when she died of cancer Nov. 23 at her sister’s home in Carmichael, Calif. A Sacramento native, Ms. Robinson joined Sly Stone (the stage name for Sylvester Stewart) and five others in the late 1960s for what became one of the first bands to feature women and men and blacks and whites. Sly and the Family Stone’s wide open, funky style helped change popular music and Ms. Robinson’s trumpet playing and singing was hard to miss on such hits as “Everyday People,” ‘’Hot Fun in the Summertime” and “I Want To Take You Higher.”

After Sly and the Family Stone broke up in the mid1970s, Ms. Robinson toured with Prince, played with former Sly bassist Larry Graham’s Grand Central Station and, until recently, toured with Martini as part of The Family Stone, which continues to perform. Sly and the Family Stone was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. Robinson was a widely respected trumpeter and one of the first black female trumpet players to play in a major group. Martini said that Ms. Robinson “didn’t consider herself a great soloist, but she was.” He also says while she didn’t do a lot of long trumpet solos to show off her skills, “every note she played meant something.” As a vocalist, too, Ms. Robinson emphasized feeling over technique and was as likely to shout her lines as sing them. It’s Ms. Robinson’s voice that is heard on the Sly and the Family Stone breakthrough hit “Dance to the Music,” urging people to “get up and dance to the music.” At one point, Ms. Robinson advises: “all the squares go home.” The message, wasn’t, Martini says, intended to

offend anyone but to say that “If you aren’t into this music, go home.”

TODAY IS FRIDAY, Dec. 4, the 338th day of 2015. There are 27 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 4, 1965, the United States launched Gemini 7 with Air Force Lt. Col. Frank Borman and Navy Cmdr. James A. Lovell aboard on a two-week mission. (While Gemini 7 was in orbit, its sister ship, Gemini 6A, was launched on Dec. 15 on a one-day mission; the two spacecraft were able to rendezvous within a foot of each other.) On this date: In 1214, Alexander II became King of Scots at age 16 upon the death of his father, William the Lion.

In 1619, a group of settlers from Bristol, England, arrived at Berkeley Hundred in present-day Charles City County, Virginia. In 1783, Gen. George Washington bade farewell to his Continental Army officers at Fraunces Tavern in New York. In 1816, James Monroe of Virginia was elected the fifth president of the United States. In 1918, President Woodrow Wilson left Washington on a trip to France to attend the Versailles Peace Conference. In 1945, the Senate approved U.S. participation in the United Nations by a vote of 65-7. In 1954, the first Burger King stand was opened in Miami by

James McLamore and David Edgerton. In 1977, Jean-Bedel Bokassa, ruler of the Central African Empire, crowned himself emperor. In 1978, San Francisco got its first female mayor as City Supervisor Dianne Feinstein was named to replace the assassinated George Moscone. In 1984, a five-day hijack drama began as four armed men seized a Kuwaiti airliner en route to Pakistan and forced it to land in Tehran, where the hijackers killed American passenger Charles Hegna. In 1991, Associated Press correspondent Terry Anderson, the longest held of the Western hostages in Lebanon, was released after

nearly seven years in captivity. In 1996, the Mars Pathfinder lifted off from Cape Canaveral and began speeding toward the red planet on a 310 million-mile odyssey. It arrived on Mars in 1997.

A5 Briefly: Nation U.S. opening all combat military jobs to women WASHINGTON — After three years of study and debate, Defense Secretary Ash Carter ordered the military Thursday to open all military jobs to women, removing the final barriers that kept women from serving in combat, including the most dangerous and grueling commando posts. His landmark decision rebuffed requests by the Marine Corps to exclude women from certain infantry and comCarter bat jobs and signaled a formal recognition that thousands of women served, and many were wounded or killed, in the last 14 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. “Implementation won’t happen overnight. And while at the end of the day this will make us a better and stronger force, there still will be problems to fix and challenges to overcome. We shouldn’t diminish that,” Carter said. He said that any man or woman who meets the standards should be able to serve, and he gave the armed services 30 days to submit plans to make the historic change.

Carter’s order opens the final 10 percent of military positions to women - a total of about 220,000 jobs. It also allows them to serve in the most demanding and difficult jobs, including as special operations forces, such as the Army Delta units and SEALs. U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., one of the first Army women to fly combat missions in the 2003-2011 Iraq war, welcomed the decision. “I didn’t lose my legs in a bar fight — of course women can serve in combat,” said Duckworth, whose helicopter was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade. “This decision is long overdue.”

Bill to tighten travel WASHINGTON — House leaders on Thursday unveiled bipartisan legislation to tighten rules on visa-free travel by millions of foreigners to the United States in hopes of making the U.S. less vulnerable after the Paris attacks. Republicans are promising a vote next week, and Democrats have signed on as well. The proposal may end up being added to the massive spending measure that’s the main piece of remaining business in Congress this year. The bill would require U.S. visitors from the 38 “visa waiver” countries, including the United Kingdom, France and Spain, to go through stricter screening procedures and obtain visas if they’ve recently been in Iraq, Iran, Syria or Sudan.

Briefly: World Oscar Pistorius convicted of girlfriend killing JOHANNESBURG — Oscar Pistorius was convicted of murder on Thursday by a South African appeals court that described the once-glittering story of the double-amputee Olympian and Reeva Steenkamp, the girlfriend he killed in his home in 2013, as “a human tragedy of Shakespearean proportions.” The Supreme Court of Appeal overturned a lower court’s conviction against Pistorius on the less serious charge of manslaughter. Pistorius The accused ought to have been found guilty of murder on the basis that he had fired the fatal shots with criminal intent, Justice Lorimer Eric Leach said in the courtroom, in which Steenkamp’s mother, June, sat impassively. Pistorius was not there. The murder conviction means Pistorius will almost certainly go back to jail, where he spent one year of a 5-year prison sentence before being put under house arrest.

The commission said Thursday that the people in the truck were 40 Guatemalans, 13 Salvadorans, 7 Hondurans, 2 Ecuadoreans and 2 Dominicans. Twenty-two were minors. The Associated Press

Police allege gunmen had bullets and bombs Officials also report man had contacted known extremists BY AMANDA LEE MYERS AND JUSTIN PRITCHARD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

San Bernardino gunman Syed Rizwan Farook had been in contact with known extremists on social media, a U.S. intelligence official said Thursday, and police said he and his wife had enough bullets and bombs to slaughter hundreds when they launched their attack on a holiday party. The details came to light as investigators tried to determine whether the rampage that left 14 people dead was terrorism, a workplace grudge or some combination. Wearing black tactical gear and wielding assault rifles, Farook, a 28-year-old county restaurant inspector, and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, 27, sprayed as many as 75 rounds into a room at a social service center for the dis-

abled, where Farook’s co-workers had gathered for a holiday banquet Wednesday. Farook had attended the event but slipped out at some point, then returned in battle dress. Four hours later and two miles away, the couple died in a furious gunbattle, in which they fired 76 rounds, while 23 law officers unleashed about 380, police said. On Thursday, Police Chief Jarrod Burguan offered a grim morning-after inventory that suggested Wednesday’s bloodbath could have been far worse. The couple left behind three rigged-together pipe bombs with a remote-control detonating device that apparently malfunctioned, and they had more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition left when police shot and killed them in their rented SUV after an hourslong manhunt, Burguan said.

Also, at a family home in the nearby town of Redlands, authorities found 12 pipe bombs, tools for making more, and over 3,000 additional rounds of ammunition, the chief said. “We don’t know if this was workplace rage or something larger or both,” Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in Washington. Investigators are trying to determine whether became radicalized and if so, how, and whether he was in contact with any foreign terrorist organization. But the official said Farook had been in touch on social media with extremists who were on the FBI’s radar screen. Authorities said the attack was carefully planned. “There was obviously a mission here. We know that. We do not know why. We don’t know if this was the intended target or if there was something that triggered him to do this immediately,” David Bowdich, assistant director of the FBI’s Los Angeles office, said as the bureau took over the investigation.

British join airstrikes in Syria; Russia calls for ‘powerful fist’ BY DANICA KIRKA AND JIM HEINTZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — As British jets opened airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Syria and Germany prepared to send troops and aircraft to the region, Russia’s president called on the world Thursday to brandish “one powerful fist” in the fight against terrorism. Yet even as international efforts to defeat the extremists grew, animosity between Russia and Turkey only intensified. Hours after Britain’s Parliament authorized military action

in Syria, its Tornado warplanes struck oil fields in eastern Syria that help finance the Islamic State group. “This strikes a very real blow at the oil and the revenue on which the Daesh terrorists depend,” Defense Secretary Michael Fallon told the BBC. Both the U.S.-led coalition and Russian warplanes have struck the extremists’ oil facilities and Russia has drawn heated international attention to the issue by accusing Turkish authorities of profiting from oil trade with the Islamic State group, allegations Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has strongly denied.

The Russian allegations came after last week’s downing by Turkey of a Russian warplane near the Syria-Turkey border. Russian President Vladimir Putin, in his state-of-the-nation address, accused Turkey of “a treacherous war crime” and bitingly suggested “Allah must have punished Turkey’s ruling clique by depriving it of sense and reason.” Putin also accused Washington and its allies of turning Iraq, Syria and Libya into a “zone of chaos and anarchy threatening the entire world” by supporting change of regimes in those countries.

World: Human cases of rabbit fever jump this year

FEDERAL LAW DOES not bar consumers from filing lawsuits under California law alleging food products are falsely labeled “organic,” the state Supreme Court ruled Thursday. The ruling overturned a lower court decision that barred such suits on the grounds that they were superseded by federal law. A lawsuit alleges that Herb Thyme Farms Inc. — one of the nation’s largest herb producers — mixed organic and non-organic herbs and labeled them “organic.” The company said it was authorized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to use the organic label.

A FORMER VICE principal at Virginia’s West Potomac High School has pleaded guilty to buying alcohol for one of his students after last year’s homecoming dance. Forty-two-year-old Aaron Engley of Corolla, North Carolina, received a 12-month suspended jail sentence after pleading guilty to contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Prosecutors say Engley drove a 17-year-old female student to an Alexandria bar after the school’s 2014 homecoming dance and bought her a drink. Engley’s attorney, Patrick Anderson, declined comment on Thursday.

DANES VOTED THURSDAY to keep a 23-year-old opt-out from justice affairs, hence taking a step away from closer ties with the European Union, meaning it temporarily would end ties with Europol, even as the European law-enforcement agency is preparing to increase its role in fighting terrorism. “Danes are saying yes to cooperation but no to relinquishing more sovereignty to Brussels,” said Kristian Thulesen-Dahl, head of the EU-skeptic, antiimmigration Danish People’s Party. Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen said he now would have talks with EU officials aimed at continuing cooperation with Europol.

HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE seeing an increase of a rare illness called rabbit fever that was beaten back decades ago. In the last two decades, health officials saw an average of only about 125 cases each year of the illness — known to doctors as tularemia. But there have already been 235 cases this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday. That’s the most since 1984. Officials aren’t sure why cases are up, but speculate that it may have to do with weather conditions that likely helped rodents and the bacteria thrive in certain states.

Chapman joins Democrats; urged to run BY ROB OLLIKAINEN PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Chapman has joined the local Democratic Party organization, and the longtime Clallam County commissioner is being encouraged to run for another term in office. Chapman, a former Republican who is now an independent, announced last spring that he would not seek a fifth four-year term. His current term expires in December 2016. In a Tuesday interview, Chapman said he recently registered with Clallam County Democrats and made a donation to the organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They support the causes

and candidates that I support,â&#x20AC;? Chapman said. Chapman backed Democrat Mark Ozias Chapman in Oziasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid to unseat Republican Commissioner Jim McEntire in the November election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always supported Derek Kilmer, Steve Tharinger, Kevin Van De Wege, Jim Hargrove,â&#x20AC;? Chapman said of regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Democratic U.S. Congressman, state Representatives and state Senator. Ozias, who defeated McEntire 53 percent to 47 percent last month, will flip

the political disposition of three-member board of county commissioners when he takes the oath of office in January. The board now consists of Chapman, McEntire and a second Republican, Bill Peach. Clallam County Democratsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Chairman Roger Fight was not immediately available for comment Thursday, and the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Port Angeles office was closed Thursday afternoon.

County Republican Party from its support after he endorsed Tharinger, then a county commissioner, when Tharinger announced that he was running for re-election in 2007. Chapman filed to run as an independent in 2008. Last March, Chapman announced during a commissionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work session that he would not seek another term. The announcement came during a board debate over spending philosophies.

Goal for next year

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Asked to reconsiderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Chapman said his goal for next year is to â&#x20AC;&#x153;govern as effectively and collaboratively as possible.â&#x20AC;? In 2008, Chapman was suspended by the Clallam

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m being asked to reconsider,â&#x20AC;? Chapman said Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have not changed my thinking at this point, but I am being asked

to reconsider.â&#x20AC;? As the District 2 commissioner, Chapman represents residents in central Clallam County between Valley Creek in Port Angeles to Boyce Road west of Carlsborg. Chapman said he is listening to his supporters and humbled by those who want him to run again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be people that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want me to run, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m listening them, too,â&#x20AC;? Chapman said. Chapman became a local figure in December 1999 when he tackled al-Qaidatrained terrorist Ahmed Ressam, who was caught driving off the MV Coho ferry from Victoria to Port Angeles with a trunk full of explosives.

Investigators later discovered that Ressam was on his way to bomb a passenger terminal at Los Angeles International Airport on or around Jan. 1, 2000. Ressam fled after being stopped by U.S. Customs inspectors at the ferry terminal on Dec. 14, 1999. Chapman, then a customs inspector, chased Ressam and shoulder-tackled him near the corner of Lincoln and First streets in downtown Port Angeles. Ressam was sentenced to 37 years in prison in October 2012.

PORT ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; City police continue to seek information about a personal laser strike that cut short a Coast Guard helicopter training mission Monday evening, Port Angeles Deputy Chief of Police Brian Smith said Thursday. An MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew was airborne when a laser was shined at the helicopter at about 6:30 p.m. Monday, the Coast Guard said Tuesday. The crew aborted the mission and landed safely at Air Station/Sector Field Office Port Angeles.

No injuries were reported, but all crew members were grounded until they were cleared by medical personnel as laser strikes can cause permanent eye damage, the Coast Guard said. A Coast Guard spokeswoman referred inquires about the incident to Port Angeles police Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a brief event,â&#x20AC;? said Smith, who knows the pilot who was flying the helicopter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect the pilot, based on what he told me, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a reportable event. It obviously something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serious, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s against the law.â&#x20AC;?

During nighttime missions, laser beams can cause temporary loss of night vision, glaring and flash blindness, putting the crew membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives in jeopardy, Coast Guard officials have said. Smith said the Monday laser incident was the second involving a Coast Guard helicopter this year. Anyone with possible information regarding the incident is asked to contact Coast Guard investigators at 360-417-5823.

it had probable cause to seize it. Calfo, challenged the legality of the seizure. After more than two days of testimony by an FBI agent and a forensic accountant, he asked the judge to return the money as well as for permission to spend up to $350,000 of it on legal expenses. Leighton didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go that far, but said Calfo could petition the court later to spend some of it. The governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyers argued that they seized the money because they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how Calfo would handle it. Furthermore, they said, Kelley didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a right to the money because it was traceable to a money-laundering transaction. The judge said he did not want to opine on that issue for fear of tainting potential jurors in the case.

He was indicted this year on money laundering, possession of stolen money and other charges related to his prior operation of a realestate services firm called Post Closing Department, which tracked certain transactions for mortgage title and escrow firms. Investigators said Kelley kept fees the company was

supposed to refund to homeowners â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an amount that totaled at least $3 million from 2006 to 2008 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and paid himself $245,000 a year from the ill-gotten proceeds. Just before he was indicted last spring on charges including possession of stolen money and filing false income tax returns, Kelley wrote a $447,000 check to the U.S. Treasury Department, noting in the subject line that it would cover future tax debts, and transferred more than $908,000 to a law firm that represented him at the time. Federal prosecutors seized the money being held by the firm in September. Kelleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new attorney, Angelo Calfo, sought its return, arguing that the government did not need the money as evidence and had not demonstrated that

U.S. District Judge Ronald Leighton upbraided federal prosecutors for seizing the money in the first place, saying it had been held in trust by the law firm that previously represented Kelley and there was no danger of the money being used. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A pretrial seizure of property is an extraordinary step, and it challenges our fundamental belief in a person being deemed innocent until proven guilty,â&#x20AC;? the judge told assistant U.S. attorneys Richard Cohen and Andrew Friedman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had the money in a blocked account going nowhere. . . .

Meetings ahead for Port of PA commissioners BY JAMES CASEY PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — The two women who will form the Port of Port Angeles Commission’s majority promise more meetings, more openness and more scrutiny starting Jan. 12. That’s when Commissionerelect Connie Beauvais will join sitting Commissioner Colleen McAleer. The third incumbent commissioner, Jim Hallett, has said he doesn’t intend to participate in more than the bimonthly meetings commissioners currently attend, plus whatever special sessions are called for, such as budget workshops. McAleer and Beauvais held an informal gathering in the Olympic Bagel Co., 802 E. First St., Wednesday morning. The meeting was announced and the public was invited to join the two. They proposed adding two work sessions each month to discuss pending actions at least a week before they adopt or reject them. Under the state’s Open Public Meetings Act, such sessions would be public if attended by any two commissioners.

New days, ‘new day’ Either the work sessions or the regular meetings, they said, would be moved to Friday, usually in port headquarters, 338 W. First St., or occasionally in Forks or Sequim.

“It’s going to be a new day as far as the port is concerned,” McAleer announced as she opened Wednesday’s meeting that about 10 people attended, including Clallam County Commissioner Mike Chapman, former county Commissioner Mike Doherty and Jason Linnabary, owner of Platypus Marine Inc. Linnabary last March revealed his proposal to buy the 3 acres that Platypus occupies at Cedar Street and Marine Drive. Commissioners rejected the sale, and Linnabary said Wednesday that Platypus likely will remain in Port Angeles. Neither Beauvais nor McAleer indicated Wednesday they would change the decision to continue owning the site. There’s plenty more, though, the pair plans to alter about how deeply commissioners delve into the details of contracts, leases and requests for proposals that they now simply accept or reject.

Numerous loopholes “There are numerous loopholes that allow for decisions to be made [by the port staff], and we don’t find out about them,” McAleer said. “We are just told, ‘This contract was signed; this lease was signed.’ We not only don’t sign them; we don’t see them.” If commissioners question the staff’s recommendations, she said, “it’s a confrontational situation instead of being a dialogue.” The additional work sessions may justify raising commission-

They currently receive $114 each day they spend on port business, plus $254 a month. They also are covered by the port’s medical insurance. “Other ports pay their commissioners thousands [of dollars],” she said. “Bremerton pays their commissioners $1,000 a month. “If the expectation is for much more involvement, maybe we should bring up the idea for more compensation for commissioners who are elected in the future.” McAleer long has battled the port’s administrative structure. Formerly the port’s director of business development, she was elected in 2013 after filing a whis-

tleblower complaint against thenExecutive Director Jeff Robb, alleging the port had not charged market rates for its leases. The port’s current executive director, Ken O’Hollaren, who replaced Robb, will leave the post Dec. 31 — and commissioners have yet to frame a job description for the position. They must decide if the administrator will supervise the port’s Port Angeles-based staff or market its development opportunities across the region, state or nation. As for upcoming decisions, Beauvais and McAleer said commissioners must question whether the harborfront log yard should remain open or if logs

should be stored at Fairchild International Airport. Relocating the log yard could reduce costs of a harborfront stormwater collection and treatment system, they said. “I’d like to talk about whether the log yard is the highest and best use of that 25 acres.” McAleer said, even though she said the port receives nearly three times the rent per acre on the harbor as it receives for storage at the airport. “I question what the future holds for our ability to continue to put logs into the water.” Should commissioners approach the issue, Beauvais and McAleer would like to tackle it in at least two meetings — a work session to discuss it and a subsequent meeting to approve or reject it.

‘Two-touch’ policy Such a “two-touch” policy as it is practiced in Sequim City Council protocols may not make the decisions more popular, but it will make them more transparent, McAleer and Beauvais said. “Half the time, half the voters are not going to like your decision,” McAleer said. “But the commissioners need to have the strength of character to own their decisions. “If bad decisions are made, they ought to be made publicly, and we ought to get full credit for it.”

Wind speeds were expected to be most severe between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m.

Storm weakens The storm weakened as it came ashore, so the weather service downgraded forecast wind speeds to no more than 50 or 60 miles per hour at about 2 p.m. Public utility districts and law enforcement agencies took a wait-and-see stance Thursday afternoon. “We’re always on standby. We can’t predict where trees will fall,” said Mike Howe, spokesman for the Clallam County PUD. Clallam County Sheriff’s Office deputies were on patrol and it was “business as usual,” said Brian King, chief criminal deputy and spokesman. Because windstorms such as the one approaching are common during winter, deputies carry chain saws and stay ready to alert Clallam County and state Department of Transportation road crews as needed to keep roads open, King said. Jim Parker, Jefferson County Public Utility District manager, said an extra crew was hired to help with possible electrical outages caused by the impending storm.

Region already hurt The region has already been badly damaged by two major windstorms this year, storms that were bad enough to warrant aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Parker said. While the extra crew will cost more to keep on standby, it is better to be prepared, he said. Power was cut to thousands of customers after storms on Aug. 29 and Nov. 17, when trees crashed down onto power poles. In some areas, power was restored within hours to hundreds of customers at a time, but it took several days to reach customers in more remote areas, where the damage was to small lines leading to only one or two homes. The State Patrol had no specific preparation in place for the storm, said Trooper Russ Winger, spokesman for the State Patrol. “We will react as needed. Hopefully the power stays on,” Winger said.

Sequim slates career symposium for Monday BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

SEQUIM — Sequim High School staff will present an inaugural junior college and career readiness symposium for all 11th grade students from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Monday in the auditorium. The goal is to prepare students for college studies or entry into the job market by encouraging them to envision all opportunities available to them now, organizers said. “We want to empower [students] to think about how to create the future they want,” said Jennifer Van De Wege, a teacher and leadership advisor at the high school who helped organize the symposium. The symposium is not open to the general public, but homeschooled students of the equivalent age are welcome to attend.

The idea came from a discussion with Mitzi Sanders, Sequim School District scholarship coordinator, “about how our juniors just don’t know about all this information regarding college readiness,” Van De Wege said. “With testing requirements for college entrance, students can’t afford to wait until their senior year to begin thinking about these things,” she said. “The junior year is academically rigorous — you add in lots of unknowns, and it creates anxiety. We are striving to alleviate some of that anxiety.” After an introduction by Principal Shawn Langston, Sanders will provide information about available scholarships. She also will discuss upcoming opportunities during which students can visit

various colleges and attend college fairs. Erin Fox, representing the high school’s three counselors, will discuss preparing for upcoming ACT and SAT tests. Ann Renker, assistant superintendent, will discuss characteristics of being ready for college and career. Each student taking part in the symposium will receive a flash drive that contains material and information correlating with the presentations and which provides additional storage capacity. All juniors will attend the event as part of Den class. Den class is devoted to college and career activities and occurs periodically throughout the school year. For the 2015-16 school year, 17 Den classes are scheduled. For more information, contact the high school office at 360-582-3600.

House overwhelmingly OKs transportation bill 5-year measure follows years of funding conflict BY JOAN LOWY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — After years of stymied efforts to address the nation’s aging and congested highways and bridges, Congress found the sweet spot for passage Thursday — a 5-year, $305 billion bill laden with enough industry favors, parochial projects, safety improvements and union demands to gain overwhelming support. The bill was approved 359 to 65 in the House while Senate approval was expected later in the day. The bill boosts highway and transit spending and assures states that federal help will be available for major projects. It doesn’t include as much money or last quite as long as many lawmakers and the Obama administration would have liked. Nor does it resolve how to pay for transportation

programs in the long term. Despite that, the 1,300-page bill was hailed by industry and public officials as a major accomplishment that will halt the cycle of last-minute shortterm fixes that have kept the trust fund teetering on the edge of insolvency for much of the past eight years. Republicans leaders can point to the bill’s passage as evidence of their ability to govern, and President Barack Obama can claim progress on addressing the nation’s aging and congested infrastructure, a major goal since the early days of his administration.

Sign of cooperation Lawmakers in both parties praised the bill as a model of bipartisan cooperation and an important step forward. The bill “proves to the American people that we can get big things done,” said Rep. Bill Shuster, chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. The committee’s senior Democrat, Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon, called the measure “historic,” but cautioned that “it is a starting point, not the end.” One hallmark of the bill is the

Yellen signals likelihood of rate hike WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen told Congress on Thursday that economic conditions appear to be improving enough for policymakers to raise interest rates when they meet in two weeks — as long as there are no major shocks that undermine confidence. Yellen said that even after the first rate hike, the Fed expects future rate increases Yellen will be at a gradual pace that will keep borrowing costs low for consumers and businesses. In testimony before the Joint Economic Committee, Yellen warned that waiting an extended period of time to start raising rates would carry risks. “Were the FOMC to delay the start . . . for too long,” she said, “we would likely end up having to tighten policy relatively abruptly to keep the economy from overshooting” the Fed’s goals for unemployment and inflation. “Such an abrupt tightening would risk disrupting financial markets and perhaps even inadvertently push the economy into a recession,” Yellen said. She also cited concerns by Fed critics that keeping rates exceptionally low for too long “could also encourage excessive risk taking and thus undermine financial stability.” Fed policymakers meet on Dec. 15-16. The Fed’s key short-term rate has been at a record low near zero for the past seven years.

creation of new programs to focus federal aid on eliminating bottlenecks and increasing the capacity of highways designated as major freight corridors. The Transportation Department estimates the volume of freight traffic will increase 45 percent over the next 30 years.

Financing woes A big shortcoming in the bill, though, is how it’s all financed. The main source of revenue for transportation is the trust fund, which comes mostly from the 18.4-cents-a-gallon gasoline tax. That tax hasn’t been raised since 1993 even though transportation spending has increased. But raising the gas tax is viewed by many lawmakers as too politically risky. To make up the shortfall, the bill uses $70 billion in mostly budget gimmicks, including one that would move $53 billion from the Federal Reserve Bank’s capital account to the general treasury. It’s counted as new money on paper, but is actually just a transfer of funds from one government account to another, federal budget experts said.

Small windows for good fishing

Riders get defensive PA shuts down PT in opener BY MICHAEL CARMAN PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

THERE AREN’T ENOUGH hours in the month of December for all that must be accomplished. Gift shopping, quality time Michael with friends and family and other Carman holiday engagements all keep the clock spinning. This is especially true for committed steelhead anglers itching to hit West End rivers. And after a run of clear and cold days provided a solid start to the winter steelhead season, El Niño’s influence again is being felt in the form of steady rainfall. This makes the fishing forecast turn as grey and gloomy as the skies above. That’s the case for freshwater fishing, with rain coming every day for the foreseeable future.

‘There are moments’ Brian Menkal of Brian’s Sporting Goods and More (360-683-1950) in Sequim has some advice for those wanting to scratch that fishing itch. “If it’s really high then sit it out,” Menkal said. “But there are moments you can find if you check out the real time water data charts. And if it starts dropping down in the morning then you start doing the plunking.” Those charts reflect the status of many rivers and streams in Washington and are available online at tinyurl.com/PDN-WaterCharts. Menkal said steelhead congregate close to shore in high-water situations. “They will be right next to the bank on higher water,” Menkal said. “Fish will be close to the bank, and many times they’ll come in right up to the mouth of feeder streams.” The water flowing in to larger bodies of water is usually cleaner, Menkal said, allowing for fish to access clearer water and to avoid silt clogging their gills. He also cautioned anglers to watch their footing along shore after periods of heavy rain. “Water saturates those banks and you don’t want to slip in with the current,” Menkal said.

Good run on the Bogey Before the recent run of ugly weather, Menkal and the Peninsula Daily News’ finest wilderness gossip columnist, Pat Neal, hit up the Bogachiel River. “Pat Neal and I got out there on Sunday and it was 18 degrees,” Menkal said. “We got two hatchery steelhead, two coho and also had several other hits on.” The pair was even able to pull off a rare feat — plunking at the Hatchery Hole on the Bogachiel. “We drifted past and saw 15 cars in the parking lot and only three bank anglers at the hole,” Menkal said. “Normally there’s too many guys up on the bank fishing to be able to plunk but they all must have gone to the Calawah [River].” Menkal said the fish were biting on a variety of gear. “They all hit something different. Two hit on different plugs, one steelhead took a jig and my last coho took a pink and silver spinner,” Menkal said. “While Pat was putting the plug in I was throwing spinners on the side.” Salmon fishing is now closed on the Bogachiel, but the coho season has been extended through Tuesday, Dec. 15 on the nearby Sol Duc River. “The coho were super bright and fresh in from the ocean,” Menkal said. “It was awesome, especially this late in the season.” TURN

Port Townsend’s Detrius Kelsall, front, reaches for a rebound as Port Angeles’ Carson Shamp, rear left, and Port Townsend’s Berkley Hill look on.

PORT ANGELES — Port Angeles boys basketball coach Kasey Ulin is taking a sensible approach to this season with a heavy emphasis on defense. His methods bore fruit in a 52-33 season-opening victory at home against Port Townsend on Wednesday. The Roughriders controlled the contest from the opening tip, playing with a defensive intensity that helped force the Redhawks into missing their first nine shots. “I liked that offensively we were moving the ball and attacking some gaps,” Ulin said. “But for us, for the first couple weeks, defense is going to have to carry us until we can get better execution-wise and just get more overall continuity offensively.” Port Angeles guard Grayson Peet, the game’s leading scorer with 15 points, also pointed to the team’s effort on defense as the primary factor in the win. “The defense. That’s what we’ve been hanging our hats on since day one,” Peet said. “Coach has been focusing on our work on defense every day in practice and tryouts. And that’s because we know the offense can get rolling but defense is where we will win games.” TURN

Peninsula men hosting Pirate Classic BY LEE HORTON PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — The Peninsula Pirates will try to defend their turf, or at least improve their defense, this weekend at the First Federal Pirate Classic at Peninsula College. The Pirates are coming off a 94-91 loss to Portland in the Skagit Valley Turkey Tournament on Sunday. It was the third time this season Peninsula has scored more than 90 points, which is nice, but the 94 points is the most the Pirates have given up this season. “It was a good game. We just didn’t get enough defensive

College Basketball stops,” head coach Mitch Freeman said. “We’re not there defensively yet. We’ve been working a lot on the defensive end in practice this week.” Through five games, the Pirates (2-3) have upped their per-game scoring average by 14.5 points from last season (66.3 to 80.8). But the points they’re allowing this season has jumped by nearly 13 points from 67.1 to 79.8. “We like where we’re at offensively. We’re able to score, we’re able to get guys shots, we’re able

to get out in the open court,” Freeman said. “We’re just not getting multiple stops.” Part of the increased scoring by the other team comes from the style Peninsula plays when it has the ball. With guards Deonte Dixon, Ryley Callaghan and Darrion Daniels able to quickly move the ball up court, and front-court players such as Dimitri Amos, Malik Mayeux and Jeremiah Hobbs athletic enough to run with those guards, the Pirates’ pace is faster. That creates more possessions in a game, which means more scoring opportunities, and not only for Peninsula but for its

foes as well. The other thing is that the Pirates are still learning to play together. Although seven sophomores return from last year’s team that finished the season by making a run to a third-place finish at the Northwest Athletic Conference tournament, Peninsula is still a team of freshmen trying to mesh with players who are only in their second years of college basketball.

Shead starting again, this time at corner BY TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENTON — In a roundabout way, DeShawn Shead is back where he always wanted to be. When Shead entered the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent out of Portland State it was easier for him to learn the responsibilities and techniques of a cornerback. But his size made him a perfect option to also be a safety in Seattle’s system. After being bounced between the two spots, Shead may have finally found his spot as Seattle’s starting right cornerback for now. “A couple of years ago when I came in I would probably say I would prefer corner because that’s what I was familiar with but as time went by and I had a lot more reps at safety and lot more experience at safety now it doesn’t matter to me,” Shead said. “It doesn’t matter whether I’m at corner or I’m at safety as long as I’m on the field to try and make an impact for this team.” Shead is expected to make his second straight start at cornerback on Sunday when the Seahawks travel to Minnesota. Shead took over in place of Cary Williams midway through Seattle’s win over San Francisco two weeks ago and made his second career start at cornerback last week against Pittsburgh. And it was quite the indoctri-

Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw for 456 yards against Seattle, the most ever allowed by the Seahawks. Shead was matched up on Martavis Bryant, Antonio Brown and Markus Wheaton. And the consensus afterward was even with the massive yards put up by the Steelers, Shead more than held his own. “Just to see him go out there and shine like that, it’s just giving me confidence in him,” Seattle safety Earl Thomas said.

“Playing at middle field, you have to trust both of your corners, because they’re asked to do a lot. He held up. He made some big, big plays.” When training camp began, Shead was one of Seattle’s options at safety with starting strong safety Kam Chancellor holding out. Shead started in Week 2 at strong safety before Chancellor’s return, giving Seattle the flexibility to start moving Shead around in the secondary.

But making the move permanently to cornerback didn’t take hold until two weeks ago. With Williams struggling, Seattle turned to Shead to step in and play opposite Richard Sherman. Against the Steelers alone, Shead was credited with four passes defensed. Williams has four passes defensed all season. “There’s another guy, he steps up for the opportunity. He comes through in a big way and the guys really rally around him,” coach Pete Carroll said. “He’s just one of our guys dyed in the wool of being a Seahawk. “So the fact that he gets that opportunity and comes through in such a big way just speaks to the kind of player he is, the kind of kid he is, and his dedication to the game, and really dedication to being a great teammate, too. He really is that.” There’s no guarantee that Shead stays at cornerback for the long term. His size — 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds — make him an option at any spot in the secondary going forward. “We’ve been in some tight spots this year, where we were short on guys. Shead came in and he can play anything,” Sherman said. “If one of our [linebackers] went down, I’m sure he could play [middle linebacker] for a couple snaps for us. He’s that kind of player.”

Aoki and Mariners finalize $5.5 million deal BY TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE — Nori Aoki expressed only a few words in English during his introduction as the latest addition to the Mariners’ offseason makeover. They were words everyone in Seattle could appreciate, though. “I came to Seattle for the coffee,” Aoki said with a chuckle, “and also to win the World Series.” The Mariners finalized a $5.5 million, one-year contract with Aoki on Thursday, including a $6 million conditional option for the 2017 season for the free-agent outfielder. By landing another one of their offseason targets, the Mariners found their prospective leadoff hitter and a versatile player that general manager Jerry Dipoto

expects to see time at all three outfield positions. Aoki will primarily be a left fielder for Seattle, but will move around as part of a five-man rotation including Seth Smith, Franklin Gutierrez, Leonys Martin and Nelson Cruz. “This team already has a lot of great hitters . . . so I feel as long as I can get on base I’m going to have a lot of chances to score and contribute,” Aoki said through an interpreter. Seattle announced completion of the deal after Aoki passed an extensive physical following an injury-filled 2015 season. It was a closely watched examination, largely because Aoki missed most of September because of postconcussion symptoms. Aoki was hit in the head by a pitch from NL Cy Young Award

winner Jake Arrieta in early August and after sitting out three days, ran into the wall while making a catch when he returned, prompting Aoki to be placed on the seven-day concussion list. Aoki returned on Aug. 20, but the Giants announced in early September that he was suffering from post-concussion symptoms and did not play after Sept. 3. Aoki said he’s been feeling fine and completing his offseason workout program. “We’re very comfortable with the results,” Dipoto said. Aoki also had a broken leg last Season and played just 93 games. San Francisco turned down a $5.5 million option on Aoki and he immediately landed on Dipoto’s radar. When healthy, Aoki’s athleticism and flexibility fit what Seat-

tle is seeking under the new general manager. Aoki is a career .287 hitter, with a .353 on-base percentage in his four seasons since coming over from Japan. But his numbers are remarkably consistent. Aoki’s never hit higher than .288 and never lower than .285. His on-base percentage has ranged from .349 to .356. He also has a low strikeout rate and more career walks than strikeouts. “The element of on-base ability and speed to keep our lineup moving with traffic on the basepaths that feed the middle of that lineup has a chance to be pretty good for us. We’re more contact oriented,” Dipoto said. Seattle will be Aoki’s fourth major league team after he started his career in Milwaukee and spent one season each with Kansas City and San Francisco.

Preps: Wolves The young Redhawks were short-handed, with only seven players suited up for Wednesday’s game. Wilson said the roster will fill out as more players participate in the required 10 practices and become eligible.

Meek scores 12 Port Townsend was led by sophomore guard Kaitlyn Meek, who scored 12 of the team’s 22 points. “Kaitlyn has one gear, and that’s fast,” Wilson said. Shenoa Snyder, a senior, led on the defensive end of the floor and nabbed a team-high seven rebounds. Despite the loss, Wilson was impressed with the buzzer-to-buzzer intensity of the Redhawks. “There is zero quit on this team,” he said. Port Townsend has backto-back games coming up, first against another 2A school, Olympic, and then versus perennial 1A contender, Mount Baker, on Friday and Saturday, respectively. Port Angeles plays at Fife on Saturday. The Trojans (2-0) are coached by Port Angeles graduate Matt Sinnes, the son of longtime Riders boys basketball coach Lee Sinnes.

Are mass shootings on the rise? BY SHARON LAFRANIERE, SARAH COHENAND AND RICHARD J. OPPEL JR.

fear, and in the perception of an increase,” he said. “A lot of that has been because of the nature of media coverage. “In the ’70s and ’80s, we didn’t hear about it on the Internet — because there was no Internet — and we didn’t have cable news channels that would devote 24 hours of coverage.” The shooting in San Bernardino was unlike nearly every other shooting of its type in the United States in the past decade and a half because it involved more than one gunman and the suspects managed to flee the scene. Just two of 160 active shooter episodes from 2000 to 2013 had more than one gunman, according to a 2014 report released by the FBI.

MORE THAN ONE a day. That is how often, on average, shootings that left four or more people injured or dead occurred in the United States this year, according to compilations of episodes derived from news reports. Including the worst mass shooting of the year that unfolded horrifically on Wednesday in San Bernardino, Calif., a total of 462 people have died and 1,314 have been injured in earlier shootings, many of which occurred on streets or in public settings, the databases indicate. It is impossible to know whether the number of such shootings has risen in recent years because the databases go back only a couple of years. And experts fiercely debate whether mass shootings that involve four or more deaths are on the rise.

Only 25 gunmen got away

Four or more dead standard Four or more dead is a standard used by congressional researchers and other experts who study mass killings. Nonetheless, the stream of shootings this year — including an attack on a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado that left three dead last week and a shooting at a community college in Oregon that left 10 dead, including the gunman, in October — has intensified the debate over the accessibility of powerful firearms. Two databases that track mass shootings — www.shootingtracker.com and www.gunviolencearchive.org — depend on news accounts and are not official. Nonetheless, they give an indication of the widespread nature of such episodes. Since January, there have been at least 354 such cases in about 220 cities in 47 states, shootings, according to www. shootingtracker.com. In November, six people were killed, five of them shot to death at a campsite in east Texas; 17 people were wounded in a shootout as a crowd watched the filming of a music video in New Orleans; and four died, including twin 5-month-old babies, in an episode of domestic violence in Jacksonville, Fla.

San Bernardino County Sheriff’s officials conduct the investigation Thursday at the scene of the shoot out between law enforcement officers and suspects in a mass shooting on Orange Show Drive in San Bernardino, Calif. So far this week, five people were wounded in a Sunday morning shooting in Kankakee, Ill., and another shooting Wednesday, before the San Bernardino attack, left one woman dead and three men injured in Savannah, Ga.

Victims a small subset Ted Alcorn, the research director for Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit organization that advocates gun control, said the shootings with multiple victims were just a small subset of everyday gun violence in America. “You have 14 people dead in California and that’s a horrible tragedy,” he said. “But likely 88 other people died today from gun violence in the United States.” In studying shootings that left four or more dead from 2009 to mid-2015, his organization found certain patterns. In only 11 percent of cases did medical, school or legal authorities note signs of mental illness in the gunmen before the attack, the organization said.

Domestic violence figured strongly: In 57 percent of the cases, the victims included a current or former intimate partner or family member of the shooter. Half of all victims were women. More than two-thirds of the shootings took place in private residences; about 28 percent occurred in public spaces, the study found. More than 60 percent of the attackers were not prohibited from possessing guns because of prior felonies or other reasons. But the study still found there was less likelihood of mass killings in states that require background checks for handgun sales than in states that do not — and even less chance of shootings by people who were prohibited by law from possessing firearms. In a recent report, the Congressional Research Service found a slight uptick in shootings in which four or more victims died. The report found an average of 22.4 mass shootings a year from 2009 to 2013, compared

with 20.2 shootings in the previous five years. But James Alan Fox, a criminologist at Northeastern University, said his research showed the number of such shootings has roughly held steady in recent decades.

Mass shootings declined

Only 25 of the gunmen got away without being arrested or killed, or committing suicide. The study analyzed episodes involving active gunmen, where a shooting was in progress when law enforcement officers responded. “Humans in general are adverse to killing other individuals, so it’s hard to sell someone else on helping you with that,” said J. Pete Blair, a criminal justice professor at Texas State University who worked on the FBI study. “Oftentimes the person is socially isolated and not socially successful, and that creates a situation in which you are on your own and it’s hard to get others to buy into your vision or anger.” Dr. Jeffrey Simon, a visiting lecturer in political science at UCLA who studies mass shootings with many victims, said that the killers shared no consistent ideological motivation. “They really cut across the spectrum of political and religious ideologies and other grievances,” Simon said. “You have personal motivations, political motivations, religious motivations, criminal motivations, or just no motivations at all, as the shooter acts out their fantasies. “And the line between them sometimes is very blurred.”

He said that if you also included the data for 2014 from the same source that CRS used, and look at recent four-year intervals instead of five-year intervals, then the average number of annual mass shootings actually declined slightly from 2011 to 2014, compared with the previous four-year period. “It’s a matter of how you slice it,” said Fox, who praised the CRS report. While the numbers shift from year to year, there has been no discernible trend either in the numbers or in the characteristics ________ of the assailants, said Fox, who is also a co-author of Extreme KillLaFraniere, Cohen and ing: Understanding Serial and Oppel are reporters for The New Mass Murder.

While attempting to quantify the amount of greenhouse gases spewed into the atmosphere, the

global warming theorists completely ignore the output of the world’s active volcanos and concentrate only on the assumed output caused by the actions of man while further assuming that greenhouse gases cause abnormal heating of the earth. If it is hotter than hell in the summer that’s “climate change.” If we have a super cold winter, that’s climate change. And if we have what is considered normal climatic conditions, that’s because our government has been wise enough to impose a carbon tax. Bertrand Russell summed up all this hype in these words, “The fact that an opinion is widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd. Indeed, in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible.” Ethan Harris, Sequim

No one would hire Ted Cruz YOU’RE EVALUATING CANDIDATES for an open job in your company, and you come across one who makes a big impression. He’s clearly brilliant — Frank maybe smarter than any of the Bruni others. He’s a whirlwind of energy. And man oh man, can he give a presentation. On any subject, he’s informed, inflamed, precise. But then you talk with people who’ve worked with him at various stages of his career. They dislike him. No, scratch that. They loathe him. They grant him all of the virtues that you’ve observed but tell you that he’s the antithesis of a team player. His thirst for the spotlight is unquenchable. His arrogance is unalloyed. He actually takes pride in being abrasive, as if a person’s tally of detractors measures his fearlessness, not his obnoxiousness. Do you hire this applicant? No way. And that’s why voters should be wary — very wary — of Ted Cruz. He’s surging. I warned you about this. In a poll of Republicans in Iowa last week, he was in a statistical tie with Donald Trump for the lead. More and more Republican insiders talk about a battle between Cruz and Marco Rubio for the nomination, or about a threeway, if you will, among Cruz, Rubio and Trump. And in the voices of these insiders I hear horror, because Trump and Cruz are nasty pieces of work. Cruz will work overtime in the months ahead to persuade you otherwise.

The religious right already adores him, but to go the distance, he needs more support from other, less conservative Republicans, and he knows it. Expect orchestrated glimpses of a high-minded Cruz, less skunk than statesman, his sneer ceding territory to a smile. You saw this in recent debates. He chided moderators for mean-spirited questions. He bemoaned the pitting of one Republican against another. The audacity of those complaints was awe-inspiring: Cruz rose to national prominence with gratuitous, overwrought tirades against fellow party members and with a complete lack of deference to elders in the Senate, which he entered in January 2013, at age 42. He likened Senate Republicans who recognized the impossibility of defunding Obamacare to Nazi appeasers. They took note. “As Cruz gains, GOP senators rally for Rubio” said the headline of a story this week in Politico, which explained: “The idea of Cruz as the nominee is enough to send shudders down the spines of most Senate Republicans.” Support for Rubio is the flower of anyone-but-Cruz dread. Anyone but Cruz: That’s the leitmotif of his life, stretching back to college at Princeton. His freshman roommate, Craig Mazin, told Patricia Murphy of The Daily Beast: “I would rather have anybody else be the president of the United States. Anyone. “I would rather pick somebody from the phone book.” It’s not easy to come across onthe-record quotes like that, and Mazin’s words suggest a disdain that transcends ideology. They bear heeding. So does Cruz’s experience in the policy shop of George W. Bush’s 2000 presidential campaign. After Bush took office, other full-time advisers got plum jobs in the White House. Cruz was sent packing to the Siberia of the Federal Trade Commission.

Political strategist Matthew Dowd, who worked for Bush back then, tweeted that “if truth serum was given to the staff of the 2000 Bush campaign,” an enormous percentage of them “would vote for Trump over Cruz.” Another Bush 2000 alumnus said to me: “Why do people take such an instant dislike to Ted Cruz? It just saves time.” His three signature moments in the Senate have been a florid smearing of Chuck Hagel with no achievable purpose other than attention for Ted Cruz, a flamboyant rebellion against Obamacare with no achievable purpose other than attention for Ted Cruz, and a fiery protest of federal funding for Planned Parenthood with no achievable purpose other than attention for Ted Cruz. Notice any pattern? Asked about Cruz at a fundraiser last spring, John Boehner responded by raising a lone finger — the middle one. More recently, Senate Republicans denied Cruz a procedural courtesy that’s typically pro forma. “That is different than anything I’ve ever seen in my years here,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told The Washington Post. Many politicians rankle peers. Many have detractors. Cruz generates antipathy of an entirely different magnitude. It’s so pronounced and so pervasive that he’s been forced to acknowledge it, and he spins it as the price invariably paid by an outsider who challenges the status quo, clings to principle and never backs down. No, it’s the fruit of a combative style and consuming solipsism that would make him an insufferable, unendurable president. And if there’s any sense left in this election and mercy in this world, it will undo him soon enough.

Deadly D.C.: In land of no consequences IN LIFE AND LEADERSHIP, accountability means consequences for bad behavior. In Washington, accountMichelle ability means Malkin yet another congressional meeting about another government scandal perpetrated by tax-subsidized corruptocrats who get away with murder. Literally. This week, the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs will hold the 999,999th oversight hearing (give or take a few) on the VA’s homicidal, no-fault culture. “In the wake of the biggest scandal in VA history, in which 110 VA medical facilities maintained secret lists to hide long waits for care,” the panel notes, “the department has successfully fired just three low-level employees for manipulating wait times. Not a single VA senior executive has been successfully fired for doing the same.” Have you forgotten? President Obama, who proclaimed himself “madder than hell” when the scandal first broke, apparently can no longer be bothered to care as he gallivants around the planet fretting about climate change. How about some climate change at the toxic VA? The department in charge of providing care to those who served our country in uniform stuck hundreds of thousands of vets on waiting lists to nowhere. The exact VA scandal death toll remains unknown because of the perpetually crappy state of data entry and management that long predated the latest bureaucratic abominations under the Obama administration. We do know that in Phoenix

alone, an estimated 40 veterans died waiting for care as VA officials cooked the books and cashed in. Former Phoenix VA hospital Director Sharon Helman was one of the few officials finally dismissed for misconduct. But like countless other VA crooks, she was awarded (and allowed to keep) more than $8,000 in publicly funded bonus pay plus a 2 percent pay raise after submitting a self-assessment in which she bragged: “I drove tremendous improvement in primary-care access.” The VA bonus bonanza — which fueled the records-doctoring scandal — showered $142 million on executives, managers and employees in 2014 alone, according to a devastating USA Today analysis last week. The year before, the VA doled out nearly $400,000 in bonuses to hospital officials as veterans fought to be seen and treated. “Among the recipients were claims processors in a Philadelphia benefits office that investigators dubbed the worst in the country last year. “They received $300 to $900 each,” investigators found. “Managers in Tomah, Wis., got $1,000 to $4,000, even though they oversaw the over-prescription of opiates to veterans — one of whom died.” In St. Paul, Minn., VA benefits office director Kimberly Graves raked in nearly $9,000 in 2014 bonus pay. The VA inspector general determined that she abused her power to transfer to a new position and collected nearly $130,000 to move. Graves refused to testify at a House hearing earlier this month about job-manipulation charges, as did accountability-evading VA exec Diana Rubens of Philadelphia. The tight-lipped fish rots from the head down, of course.

Former VA Secretary Eric Shinseki, who resigned last spring, refused to turn over records related to bonus decisions to a judge. No consequences for evading judicial orders. But he’s still collecting his sixfigure, gold-plated government pension. About the only thing the VA has proved efficient and effective at these days is retaliating against the brave watchdogs who exposed their craven supervisors. It’s been two months since Office of Special Counsel head Carolyn Lerner blasted the systemic witch hunts against whistleblowers to President Obama in an open letter. After highlighting a “pattern of deficient patient care at VA facilities nationwide,” she discovered a flood of chilling cases in which the agency “attempted to fire or suspend whistleblowers for minor indiscretions and, often, for activity directly related to the employee’s whistleblowing.” In 2015 alone, the OSC has received over 2,000 cases from VA employees seeking protection from retaliation for whistleblowing. Where’s the White House? Too preoccupied with restricting the powers of federal inspectors general to investigate wrongdoing within the Obama administration’s agencies from A to VA to Z. These feckless, reckless officials in the top echelons of power will continue to jeopardize and sacrifice innocent lives as long as they suffer no risks to their own privileged, protected livelihoods. They deserve a change of climate all right — from the rarefied air of the Beltway to an enclosed habitat behind bars.

Briefly . . . Rally against drugs in PA on Saturday PORT ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A group that calls itself This is Our Town: Port Angeles will host a rally against drug and crime at noon Saturday at the Clallam County Courthouse. The citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; organization will hand out information on crime prevention, neighborhood watches, drug treatment and counseling, and community cleanups at the rally at the courthouse at 223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles. From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, the group plans to meet with law enforcement officials in Room 223 of the courthouse. Clallam County Prosecutor Mark Nichols, county Sheriff Bill Benedict, Port Angeles Police Chief Terry Gallagher, and Lorraine Shore of Neighborhood Watch have been invited. Another group, Port Angeles Citizen Network, or PACan, will meet at 6 p.m. Dec. 14 in Room 223 of the courthouse. A speaker from the Department of Social and Health Services will make a presentation.

Air pollution lifts OLYMPIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Olympic Region Clean Air Agency announced Thursday that there is no longer a need for residents to curtail outdoor burning or use of wood stoves and fireplaces. The agency Tuesday asked that residents of East Clallam County voluntarily curtail such burning because air pollution levels â&#x20AC;&#x201D; specifically fine particulate matter or PM 2.5 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; remained elevated in the portion of Clallam County east of the Elwha River. As of Thursday, pollution levels had dropped significantly, said Dan Nelson, spokesman for ORCAA, in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A substantial reduction in smoke output due at least in part to the great public response to the voluntary action avoided the need for a formal burn ban,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding â&#x20AC;&#x153;the incoming storm has now greatly reduced the measured levels of air pollution in the area.â&#x20AC;?

Forks trees dress up for the holidays BY ARWYN RICE PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

FORKS — It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Forks. A small forest of 18 cheerfully lit and decorated trees will be on display during a viewing and an auction at the Forks 20th Annual Festival of Trees on Saturday and Sunday at the Rainforest Arts Center, 35 N. Forks Ave. The 2015 theme for the festival is “My Favorite Things,” based on the song from “The Sound of Music.” However, the tree themes are not necessarily related to the movie, said Mary Anne Earley, president of Soroptimist International of the Olympic Rain Forest, which organizes the annual festival.

Viewing on Saturday Open houses for those who want to see the trees are planned Saturday, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Soroptimists will offer cookies, cider and coffee for donations while holiday music plays during the open houses. Doors will open for the live auction at 1 p.m. Sunday, and the tree auction will begin at 2 p.m. Most of the 18 trees have premiums attached — the buyer who wins the tree at auction also gets other prizes associated with the tree. Earley said a tree by J&D Enterprises includes $1,800 in premium items, including a truckload of gravel, a gift certificate to Les Schwab and a jacket. Twelve holiday wreaths will be sold during the auction. “The wreaths are available at a lower price,” Earley said. Also planned is a silent auc-

LA PUSH — An annual dinner, auction and holiday celebration will benefit children during the 14th annual Cherish Our Children fundraiser from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. today. The dinner and auction, which is sponsored by the Quileute tribe and the city of Forks, will be at the A-Ka-Lat Community Center in La Push. The evening will begin with dinner, followed by a 6 p.m. silent auction, a children’s auction and a live auction. A seafood dinner for $10 will have smoked salmon fettuccine, baked salmon, salad and a roll, by Eugene Fraker, chef of River’s Edge Restaurant. Alternative meal options are available a la carte for children or for those who prefer spaghetti, fry bread, clam chowder and hot dogs provided by Perry Pullen.

Auction items This year’s auction of more than 100 items includes certificates for a $2,000 value luxury suite at a Seattle Sounders game, cold water life suits, overnight stays at resorts around the Pacific Northwest, tickets for the Port Angeles Symphony, Woodland Park Zoo passes and family passes for four to the Seattle Science Center and iMax Theater. Handmade wood and metal items created by inmates from the Olympic Corrections Center and fresh baked pies will be included. A group of 19 vendors will sell jewelry, Native American art and other hand-crafted gift items. Proceeds from the dinner, the auction and vendor fees support programs that help supply holiday gifts for the children of more than 400 families in Forks and La Push. The gifts are split evenly between the two communities. In Forks, the food bank sponsors the Santa’s Workshop program, which allows financially struggling families to select gifts for each child. In La Push, the Quileute Housing Authority’s program provides gifts for children of low-income families in the community.

Need is growing The number of families served could be more than 500 this year, said Sharon Penn, a member of the Cherish Our Children committee. “With the mills shut down, we will have more than ever,” Penn said, adding that it also has been a bad year for the fishing industry. “We don’t want to lose these families from our area,” she said. Penn said more and more of the donated items are coming from out of state, including donations from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Montana and Alabama. People in those places read about Cherish Our Children, or hear about it from friends, and want to donate items, she said.

Switching on a new Procrastinators’ fair tradition in Sequim features artists’ work PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

SEQUIM — The city of Sequim will kick off the holiday season today during an inaugural tree lighting reception at the Sequim Civic Center. The free public event at the center at 152 W. Cedar St., hosted by the City Arts Advisory Commission, will be from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in conjunction with the First Friday Art Walk — a free self-guided tour of Sequim art venues conducted from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the First Friday of every month. The 9-foot-tall artificial holiday tree set up in the lobby is adorned with about 100 unique ornaments made by fourth-grade students living within the Sequim School District, said City Clerk Karen Kuznek-Reese. “We thought it would be a fun thing to do to get the kids involved, and fourthgraders seem to be a good age,” she said. “It was something the City Arts Advisory Commission decided on.” The theme for the student-created ornaments is Nature’s Creatures on the Olympic Peninsula. The ornaments “are really cute,” Kuznek-Reese said. “Some are the painted, stained-glass type of ornaments. Some are made with Styrofoam balls. Some were an actual class project” for students at Greywolf Elementary School, she said. The reception will include remarks by Mayor Candace Pratt, refreshments and a live performance by Sunshine Generation of Sequim, a children’s

The group will present calendars and crafts. ■ The Community Bowl Project — Previously painted bowls will be sold with proceeds going to support the Port Townsend

Food Bank. ■ Scholarship Wreaths — The wreaths, which will cost between $35 and $55, will fund scholarships for graduating Port Townsend High School students headed to college.

Paid and volunteer firefighters decorate the Port Angeles Fire Department’s 31st annual “Operation Candy Cane” engine inside the fire hall on East Fifth Street in Port Angeles.

Operation Candy Cane hits PA starting this weekend BY ARWYN RICE PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — Sparky and the firefighters aren’t a band — but they will be bringing plenty of noise and light to Port Angeles streets this week. Operation Candy Cane will hit Port Angeles neighborhoods beginning Saturday to collect food and donations for the Port Angeles Food Bank. “Sparky” is Engine 5, a restored 1954 Seagrave pumper engine. It was nicknamed “Sparky” after being part of a now-defunct “Sparky Week” program for elementary school students, said Port Angeles Fire Captain Keith Bogues. Firefighters spent several hours decorating the department’s antique fire engine Tuesday evening, covering it in lights and

adding a tree and a seat for Santa Claus in the back. Escorted by four to 15 volunteer and professional firefighters on foot, Sparky will be driven along streets in Port Angeles to collect donations for the food bank and to distribute candy canes to people who come out of their homes to greet the festive fire team. Each night, the firefighters cover a different neighborhood. It takes six nights for the firefighters and engine to travel up to 26 miles each night. Volunteers take turns walking and riding the engine. “When we have 15, it can be a lot of fun. When we have four it can be a lot of work,” Bogues said. Operation Candy Cane will begin at 5:30 each night

Taylor has been carving for eight years, having taken up the hobby after moving with his wife to Sequim. “Wood carving has proven to be a perfect activity in so many ways,” Taylor said.

SEQUIM — Handcarved wood, driftwood and gourd sculptures will be on display Saturday at the 10th annual Pacific Northwest Wood Artisans Show and Sale. Pacific Northwest Wood Artisans is a nonprofit organization of artists from throughout the North Olympic Peninsula who have joined together to share ideas and to promote woodworking in all its forms. The show — the nonprofit’s only annual fundraiser event — will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Pioneer Park, 387 E. Washington St., in Sequim. Although the show is free, donations will be accepted. The show will include a silent auction and demonstrations on woodworking, gourd working and pyrography — which is the technique of decorating wood or leather by burning a design on the surface with a heated metallic point.

Handcrafted items Fifteen vendors will offer handcrafted items, including one-of-a-kind Christmas ornaments. Proceeds from the auction, donations and vendor fees — not including money garnered by private vendor sales — will be used to further “the enjoyment and education of wood artisans on the North Olympic Pen-

The funding promotes “wood art education and brings instructors in to teach workshops on the Peninsula,” she said. “Each year, we offer as many [workshops] as we are able to do. Some of them are taught by our own members as well.” Those who enjoy art in wood — and those who crave to make art in wood — should come to the show, Thomson said. “They should come, first of all, to meet our members and other vendors,” she said. Some also may become interested in the hobby

themselves, she said. “If they never thought they could carve wood or work with wood — it is all just a series of steps you put together to make a piece,” she said. “They can actually see” how to do it themselves. “They will be able to see from start to finish” how a random piece of wood can become “a piece of art,” she said. “By seeing these examples, you realize that you can do this.” Thomson said she herself began the hobby only about a year ago. “I had never carved anything before I started working with the club.” This year’s featured art-

“It’s a relaxing, yet challenging, hobby, as well as a really fun time to socialize with other members. “I had no idea I had any artistic ability at all until giving it time to surface. It is truly satisfying to create what others can enjoy.” Day — who since 1992 has been carving with chisels, gouges and carving knives — is the current president of Pacific Northwest Wood Artisans. He specializes in raptor and duck carvings and has won first place and best of division honors in carving competitions throughout the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia.

Advent is a time full of hope, patience and joy WITH THANKSGIVING BEHIND and Christmas ahead, we approach the second Sunday of Advent. I didn’t grow up with anything liturgical, including the tradition of Advent. However, when my kids were little, my wife enjoyed having an Advent calendar for them to open a tiny window every day with increasing excitement until Christmas morning. Though the celebration of Advent has had some changes during the course of history, the main elements haven’t changed. It is a time of hope, a time of patiently waiting while impatiently anticipating, and it’s a time of joy. Prior to Christmas, these wonderful elements are appropriate as we remember the season surrounding the coming of the Christ child. Centuries of prophetic foretelling culminated under that Bethlehem star: Immanuel, “God with us,” (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23).

ISSUES OF FAITH e live now with the joyful anticipation of repeat itself a litJesus’ second advent Greg bit. Reynolds tle Again, I seri— a time when he will come ously doubt if anyagain “in a flash, in the one will have the bragging rights to twinkling of an eye, at the last say, “I knew it was trumpet” (1 Corinthians 15:52). going to happen

Michael Card captures the scene well in his song, “The Promise”: “The Lord God said when time was full He would shine His light in the darkness; He said a virgin would conceive and give birth to the Promise; For a thousand years the dreamers dreamt, and hoped to see His face; But the Promise showed their wildest dreams had simply not been enough. . . . For the name of the Promise was Jesus.” I like that — “their wildest dreams had simply not been enough.” Yes, this is the season to remember and celebrate the advent that has already happened.

tonight, and I knew just how it was going to happen.” The element of surprise will be — surprising. And many will sleep unaware. And I believe Michael Cards’ song will again prove true. “Their wildest dreams had simply not been enough.”

Celebrate, anticipate Joyfully celebrate Jesus’ first advent, and joyfully anticipate his second. And even though your wildest dreams won’t be enough, go ahead — dream wildly anyway. “For the name of the Promise is Jesus.” “He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming soon.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.” (Revelation 22:20).

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

SEQUIM — Two brand-new venues, Santa and Mrs. Claus and a golden theme: They’re together in and around downtown Sequim during tonight’s First Friday Art Walk, a circuit of galleries, shops and places to eat and drink. This is a free monthly event organized by Sequim artist and educator Renne Brock-Richmond, and as always it has a color theme.
