Hiring process starting at once BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT TOWNSEND — The Port of Port Townsend commissioners intend to find a permanent replacement for retiring Port Director Larry Crockett themselves rather than hiring a search firm to fill the vacancy. This means the hiring process must begin immediately to fill the position in time for Crockett’s June 1 retirement. “We have already decided to not use a professional headhunter and do this in-house,” Crockett said at a nearly two-hour special meeting of commissioners Wednesday meant to discuss and refine the process. “You don’t want to spend too much time in the search, especially if you want any overlap when I leave.” Crockett, 68, who has held the director position for 17 years, announced his retirement at a Jan. 13 meeting of the port commissioners. Crockett said he will hang around for a while to offer advice. “If it does take a few extra weeks, I’m around, but not to work,” he said.

State short $78 million in funds forecast Less money expected after 2017 BY RACHEL LA CORTE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The state revenue forecast released by the state Economic and Revenue Forecast Council showed that the current two-year, $38 billion budget that ends in the middle of 2017 falls about $78 million short of what was originally predicted. The council lowered its forecast for the next two-year budget by $436 million. The projected overall state budget for 2017-19 is expected to be about $41 billion.

OLYMPIA — As lawmakers prepare to unveil a supplemental budget proposal, they learned Wednesday that they have a little less money to work with in the current budget cycle and significantly less money than previously expected for the two years after that. Officials have lowered the state’s revenue projections for both the current two-year budget Lower costs? that ends in the middle of 2017 and the next budget cycle, citing However, officials said the foreweak economic growth, both glob- cast is offset slightly by lower ally and nationally. projected costs related to the

that the forecast doesn’t take into account billions that the state needs to spend on education funding. The state is currently under a contempt order by the state Supreme Court for its lack of progress on that effort. Dunshee said he couldn’t say yet whether taxes would be part of the House proposal but said the state will need to be more proactive in order to satisfy the court. “I can guarantee you that we’re not going to grow our way to the McCleary solution,” he said, referring to the name used for the lawsuit against the state. “To some degree, we’ve had ups and downs,” said Republican Sen. Andy Hill, noting that the most recent change is “not enough to break the budget.”

Programming successor is broadcast 1st THE HEAD OF ABC entertainment is exiting amid low ratings, to be replaced by the first African-American to head a broadcast TV network. ABC Entertainment Group President Paul Lee has decided to leave, the network announced Dungey Wednesday. His successor is Channing Dungey, who has been ABC Entertainment Group’s executive vice president for drama development, movies and miniseries, overseeing drama pilots and series’ launches. Dungey shepherded ABC hits including “Scan-

dal,” “How to Get Away with Murder” and “Quantico.” The changeover comes a year after Ben Sherwood became president of the Disney-ABC TV Group, and after Lee’s nearly six years as programming chief. “Channing is a gifted leader and a proven magnet for top creative talent, with an impressive record” of helping to create compelling and popular series, Sherwood said in a statement. Dungey is both the first black network programming chief and a rare female executive. While other women have served in top network jobs, the positions at major networks CBS, NBC and Fox currently are held by men. Her appointment comes at a time of increased scrutiny of Hollywood’s lack of diversity on- and off-cam-

era, with attention focused recently on the Oscars’ allwhite slate of nominees for this month’s awards. Dungey said in a statement that she is “thrilled and humbled” by the opportunity. Lee, in a statement issued by ABC, said he was proud of the team he built at the network and wished Dungey well. He did not say why he was leaving or what his next job would be. The British-born Lee can claim credit for bringing notable diversity to ABC with shows including “black-ish” and “Fresh Off the Boat.” The network also became home to megaproducer Shonda Rhimes’ series that feature multiethnic casts and black stars. They include Viola Davis in “How to Get Away with Murder” and Kerry Washington in “Scandal.”

MOHAMED HEIKAL, 92, a close confidant of Egypt’s nationalist leader Gamal Abdel Nasser since the 1950s and later author of insider accounts of his country’s wars and peacemaking with Israel, has died. State television said Mr. Heikal, whose health rapidly deteriorated at the start of the Mr. Heikal year, died in 2015 Wednesday in Cairo. Better known among Egyptians by his full name, Mohamed Hassanein Heikal, he recently suffered kidney problems that required regular dialysis. The popular author rose to prominence as a confidant and later a Cabinet minister under Nasser, Egypt’s socialist and Arab nationalist president who ruled from 1954 until his sudden death in 1970. His close friendship with Nasser cast Mr. Heikal in the role of a top authority on Egyptian and regional politics at a time when much of the Arab world was shaking off colonial European rule and embroiled in armed conflict with Israel. The leftist Nasserist ideology, which centered around what Nasser called “Arab-socialism,” commands little influence in present-day Egyptian politics, but Mr. Heikal remained relevant long after Nasser died, respected for his wide network of international contacts and extraordinary analytical skills.

1941 (75 years ago) Outstanding bonds of the Port of Port Angeles now total only $46,000 and will be entirely paid off in 1942, the annual report of Port Manager Henry W. Davies, submitted to the port commission last week, points out. Also prominent in the summary is the statement that the port in 1940 handled $548,884.31 in its trust fund for truck loggers and others using port facilities — invoicing, collecting and distributing the money. This amount exceeded the trust fund total for the previous year by $157,831.39.

Ex-UW student seeks life after verdict BY SARA JEAN GREEN MCCLATCHY NEWS SERVICE

SEATTLE — In the weeks before Christmas, Jarred Ha agonized over his decision, filling three pages with charts outlining the pros and cons of accepting a plea deal or taking his chances at trial. If he took the deal, Ha would still have a felony conviction on his record with no guarantee he wouldn’t also face up to 90 days in jail. But if he went to trial and lost, he was looking at 12 years in prison. The stakes couldn’t have been higher for the 22-yearold aspiring accountant, who got kicked out of the University of Washington and booted from his apartment within a day of his arrest last year for stabbing a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. “I made the decision the day before Christmas Eve. I was looking at my charts, and I felt like I didn’t do anything wrong,” Ha said in an interview. “I had to risk it.” Charged with firstdegree assault with a deadly weapon and fourth-degree assault for punching a young woman in the face, Ha claimed self-defense — and was found not guilty by a King County jury Jan. 15. The same jury also returned a special verdict, rendering a somewhat rare finding that Ha used lawful force to defend himself. That finding means he is eligible to be reimbursed by the state for the roughly $40,000 his family spent on his criminal defense. “What that means is any reasonable person in his shoes would do the same thing,” said defense attorney Zach Wagnild, who represented Ha with co-counsel Michelle Scudder. King County Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor Mark Larson declined to discuss details of Ha’s case but said his office “always respects the jury’s verdict.” Now that his freedom is no longer in peril, Ha wants

to clean the taint from his name, resume his studies at the UW and move on with his life. But Ha and his family are bracing for another legal battle, this time against a civil complaint filed by Graham Harper, a 20-year-old UW student and National Guard reservist who was stabbed by Ha.

pended from the UW and barred from campus. Ha said he has attended academic disciplinary hearings and was ordered to take an alcohol-safety class. He has been told by the UW that he can reapply in the fall, but he hopes to get back in before then. No one else involved in the fight faced disciplinary action, said Ha’s defense team. Ha, who moved back into his parents’ Bellevue home after they bailed him out of jail, hopes to return to school for the spring quarter. Norm Arkans, the UW’s associate vice president for media relations, said federal privacy laws prevent him from commenting on Ha’s status. “My brother got everything taken away from him — his schooling, his friends, his life was just completely put on hold,” said Ha’s older sister, Vanessa, who graduated from the UW in 2012. “It’s just so unfair.” When Vanessa attended the UW, her father, Joe Ha, became alarmed by the frequent safety alerts his daughter received on her cellphone from UW police. He gave her the choice of carrying a Taser, mace or a knife for protection. She chose mace. When it was Jarred’s turn to attend the UW, their dad gave him the same choice. After his son decided on a knife, Joe Ha purchased a Karambit, a knife with a curved, 2¼-inch fixed blade. “We talked about it many times,” Joe Ha said, recalling how he lectured his son that the weapon was only to be used “as a last resort.” Before Ha’s trial, father and son went shopping together at Costco and sat talking in their car in the parking lot. Joe Ha, who blamed himself for giving his son the knife that had landed him in legal trouble, broke down in tears: “I said, ‘I ruined your UW suspension life,’ ” recalled Joe Ha, “and While still in jail, Ha was he said, ‘No, Dad. You saved notified that he was sus- my life.’ ” Ha into parked cars. “I had my phone out and yelled to them I was going to call the cops,” said Colburn. “Graham was definitely bigger than Jarred.” He looked away as he spoke with a 9-1-1 dispatcher, and when he looked back, Ha was gone and there was blood pooling at Harper’s feet. Colburn and Helfand tended to Harper and waited with him until the ambulance came. The incident and Ha’s arrest were covered by Seattle media. Harper was hailed as a hero and a protector of women. Jurors heard two versions of the events of that night, from Harper and then from Ha, whose account was corroborated by the witnesses. A Seattle man who sat on the jury said initially he assumed that with Harper’s injuries, Ha “was on a rampage.” “It took a lot of work on our part to realize the exact opposite was true,” said the 52-year-old, who asked not to be named to protect his privacy. “It was unfortunate Graham had so much physical capability and that Jarred had a weapon,” the juror said. “But they were both young, inexperienced, drinking and got in over their heads. They got lucky that no one died.” After finding Ha not guilty, it didn’t take long for the jury to reach the special verdict in Ha’s favor, finding he acted in self-defense, the juror said. Harper, who is studying political science and international security, was shocked by the verdicts, saying he thought the case against Ha “was a slam dunk.” “I believe there was a lot of legal manipulation. O.J. got off,” Harper said. “I still believe I was right and he was so, so wrong in hitting those girls.”

Cracks emerge in GOP refusal to consider pick BY JOSH LEDERMAN AND ALAN FRAM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Concerted Republican opposition to considering President Barack Obama’s pick for the Supreme Court showed early signs of splintering on Wednesday as a handful of influential senators opened the door to a possible confirmation hearing. One Republican even suggested the president should nominate a candidate from his state. Texas Sen. John Cornyn, the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, did not rule out a committee hearing on Obama’s forthcoming nominee to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia. And Sen. Dean Heller said chances of Senate approval were slim, but added that Obama should “use this opportunity to put the will of the people ahead of advancing a liberal agenda” on

the high court. “But should he decide to nominate someone to the Supreme Court, who knows — maybe it’ll be a Nevadan,” Heller said. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who sits on the committee, said he opposes a filibuster to prevent a vote, as some Republicans have suggested. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley has also said he’d wait to see who Obama selects before ruling out a hearing in his committee.

Cautious but growing group Those senators formed a cautious but growing chorus of voices breaking with the absolutist position of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has told the White House not to even bother nominating a candidate. The Kentucky Republican and several Republicans up for re-elec-

tion have maintained that voters in November’s presidential election should have a say in the direction of the nation’s highest court. Cornyn, McConnell’s deputy, agreed that it should be left to the next president to pick Scalia’s successor. Still, Cornyn said it was up to Grassley to decide whether to schedule a hearing, and to McConnell to decide on a full Senate vote if the Judiciary Committee were to vote on the nominee. “It’s entirely up to the Senate whether to confirm that nomination, and I think we should not,” Cornyn said on radio station KSKY’s “The Mark Davis Show.” McConnell has shown no signs of softening his opposition to confirming an Obama nominee, which could put vulnerable Republicans in a precarious position as his party works to keep control of the Senate in the November elections.

Briefly: World Pope concludes Mexico trip with visit to border CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico — Pope Francis wrapped up his trip to Mexico on Wednesday with a politically charged visit to the U.S. border for a huge open-air Mass as he focused on problems of violence, exploitation and migration, a hot issue for the U.S. presidential campaign. He also visited a major prison — just days after a riot in another lockup killed 49 inmates — and he urged decent treatment for workFrancis ers in a city famed for low-wage assembly jobs. Francis was expected to stop at the border fence and give a blessing in honor of migrants on the other side, as well as those who died trying to get there. Migration is a theme close to the pontiff’s heart. He has demanded that countries welcome those fleeing poverty and oppression and denounced what he calls the “globalization of indifference” toward migrants.

Explosion kills 28 ANKARA, Turkey — A car bomb went off in the Turkish capital Wednesday near vehicles

carrying military personnel, killing at least 28 people and wounding 61 others, officials said. The explosion occurred during evening rush hour in the heart of Ankara, in an area close to parliament and armed forces headquarters and lodgings. Buses carrying military personnel were targeted while waiting at traffic lights at an intersection, the Turkish military said while condemning the “contemptible and dastardly” attack. “We believe that those who lost their lives included our military brothers as well as civilians,” Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said. At least two military vehicles caught fire and dozens of ambulances were sent to the scene.

Austria cancels meet BERLIN — Austria has canceled a meeting about the refugee crisis ahead of the EU summit in Brussels after Turkey’s prime minister pulled out. Leaders from a dozen nations were supposed to meet at the Austrian mission in Brussels in the run-up to today’s summit to discuss how the EU and Turkey can cooperate to contain the flood of migrants into the continent. An Austrian diplomat in Brussels on Wednesday confirmed the entire meeting would be canceled. The diplomat spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak about a decision that was made in Vienna. The Associated Press

BORDER WAR COMMEMORATED

A Vietnamese woman prays as more than 100 Vietnamese people gather in central Hanoi on Wednesday to commemorate the anniversary of the start of Vietnam’s brief but bloody border war with China. The residents lit incense and laid flowers at the statue of King Ly Thai To, a Vietnamese hero, in a ceremony that lasted about an hour without police intervention. There have been no official government commemorations of the war.

Germany revives calls for a no-fly zone in northern Syria BY ALBERT AJI AND ZEINA KARAM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAMASCUS, Syria — Germany revived calls Wednesday for a no-fly zone in northern Syria — an idea that once might have greatly helped the beleaguered rebels and protected civilians from bombardment but now is more complicated, dangerous and unlikely due to Russia’s air campaign supporting President Bashar Assad. The proposal came amid international efforts to coax at least a temporary truce and as the government allowed humanitarian

aid to head for besieged areas around the country, part of an effort described by a Russian official as a first step toward implementation of an agreement reached among world powers in Munich last week. U.N. envoy Staffan de Mistura has been trying to secure aid deliveries and to improve the chances of restarting peace talks before the end of February. But those efforts have been clouded by a major government offensive north of Aleppo, where various forces backed by regional and international rivals are clashing over a crucial strip of land linking Syria’s largest city to the

border with Turkey. The violence in Aleppo, which has sent tens of thousands of people fleeing toward the border, led to the collapse of indirect talks between the Syrian government and its opponents earlier this month. It appears also to have revived a longstanding proposal to establish a no-fly zone in northern Syria, which was floated repeatedly by Turkey and other Assad opponents throughout the 5-year-old war. A no-fly zone would potentially create a safe haven for tens of thousands of displaced Syrians and help stem the flow of refugees to Europe.

World: Vietnam vet loses suit to get benefits in Cuba

A CENTRAL CALIFORNIA school district settled a free speech lawsuit brought by a high school junior who was sent home for refusing to change out of a T-shirt that read “Nobody Knows I’m a Lesbian.” Taylor Victor, 16, and her mother sued two Sierra High School administrators who told the girl in August that her shirt was an improper display of sexuality that violated the school’s dress code and might be disruptive. A teacher had her called to the office when she showed up in the shirt, according to court documents.

SOUTH DAKOTA WOULD be the first state in the U.S. to approve a law requiring transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond to their sex at birth if the governor signs a bill passed Tuesday by the state Senate. The Senate voted 20-15 to send the bill to Republican Gov. Dennis Daugaard, who initially responded positively to the measure but said last week he’d need to study it more before making a decision. Advocates say the bill is meant to protect the privacy of students, but opponents say it discriminates against vulnerable adolescents.

BOSTON MARATHON BOMBER Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has asked a federal appeals court to appoint new lawyers to handle the appeal of his conviction and death sentence. Tsarnaev’s lawyers filed a motion Wednesday asking the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to replace most of the lawyers who defended him during his trial. That’s a standard practice in death penalty appeals. Tsarnaev was sentenced to death for the 2013 bombing that killed three people and injured more than 260. Tsarnaev is being held at the Supermax federal prison in Colorado.

A CUBAN-AMERICAN VETERAN of the Vietnam War lost his lawsuit Wednesday seeking to force the U.S. government to restore the pension that was cut off when he moved back to Cuba. Otto Macias was 19 when he left Cuba, enlisted in the U.S. Army and served as a machine-gunner in Vietnam. As he stayed with family in Havana in 1980, he required hospitalization for a mental breakdown and never returned to the U.S. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs then ended his pension. Lawyer Jason Flores-Williams said that was because of the United States’ trade embargo on Cuba.

FEDERAL WAY — Officials say a Washington State Patrol trooper was struck by a vehicle and injured during a traffic stop in Federal Way. Patrol officials say Trooper Greg Ulrich was contacting a driver he had stopped for a traffic violation Wednesday morning on northbound Interstate 5 when another vehicle hit him from behind. Trooper Chris Webb said Ulrich was taken to Harborview Medical Center with leg and back injuries and was listed in good condition Wednesday afternoon. Ulrich has been with the patrol for 25 years. Webb said the 28-yearold woman who hit Ulrich was not impaired. Investigators believe driver inattention was a factor in the incident.

The successful candidate should have an understanding of the community, he said. “One of my fears is that you hire someone who is very competitive with many skills but really doesn’t know Jefferson County and Port Townsend,” he said. “The worst thing that can happen is you bring someone in who doesn’t work out and you are sitting here a year from now facing the same decision.” If a permanent director is not selected before Crockett’s retirement, an interim director could be selected from staff.

Sequim K-9 recovering from surgery; prognosis uncertain OLYMPIC PENINSULA NEWS GROUP

SEQUIM — The Sequim Police Department reports that Chase, a K-9 officer, is recovering after a recent surgery to remove a mass from his intestines. Police Chief Bill Dickinson said the German shepherd’s bodily functions have been restored, but his longterm prognosis is unknown at this time. “He is feeling much better and once again showing interest in everything and wants to be more energetic than he is supposed to be while recuperating,” Dickinson said. “He doesn’t seem to know that he is still held together with stitches and staples.” Chase has worked with handler Sgt.

Since the diagnosis, Chase has been on inactive duty, but prior to that, he served as the driving force for the Sequim Dog Park agility course and in several public demonstrations. Chase was set to retire later this year, but Dickinson said department officials concluded that due to the dog’s age and years of service, he’s been retired and will continue living with Hill. Chase’s tenure follows

former K-9 officers Huey and Titus. The Sequim K-9 unit began in 2000, and community donations have paid almost entirely for it, including in purchasing the dog, food and health care. Previously, Dickinson said plans to continue the K-9 program are likely following Chase’s tenure with another officer interested in taking over for Hill. A majority of the fees come from upfront costs of purchasing a new dog, said Deputy Chief Sheri Crain, while ongoing costs such as health care and food are manageable. Training for the handler and dog is paid for by the police department. Donations made out to the “Sequim Police Department K-9 Program” can go directly to the Sequim Police Department, 152 W.

He said the use and abuse of opioids are problems both in Forks and nationwide; the discussion has even reached the presidential debates.

Monohon listed the 10 fields with the highest demands for workers in the state: life science and agriculture; midlevel science technicians; midlevel health professionals; health care providers with bachelor’s degrees; accounting and bookkeeping; engineers; police and firefighters; manufacturing and production; computer sciences; and installation, maintenance and repair technicians. “Are these jobs we can work with in Forks? Yes,” Monohon said. Each is a position that Forks has trouble filling, despite having a resource and education system set up to feed a pipeline to fill these jobs and create more, he said.

SEATTLE — Workers at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport filed more than a dozen class-action lawsuits Wednesday, saying they have not been paid a $15 minimum wage. Their Seattle lawyers estimate the employees are owed as much as $20,000 each in back pay since the higher wage went into effect more than two years ago. They say about 5,000 airport workers are affected by the minimum wage ordinance, which now requires an hourly wage of at least $15.24. An estimated 1,500 workers have not been paid the correct wage, the attorneys said. Calls to several of the employers targeted by the lawsuits were not immediately returned Wednesday. SeaTac was the first city in the nation to adopt a $15 minimum wage, but it only applies to transportation and hospitality workers. It was soon followed by measures in Seattle and San Francisco that apply to all workers, but both of those cities are phasing in the higher wages. Airport employers have fought the wage in court, saying the facility run by the Port of Seattle is a federal port that is not subject to local laws. The courts have disagreed. These employees work a variety of jobs at the airport from baggage handlers to the people who clean the planes and refuel them, said Duncan Turner of the Seattle law firm Badgley Mullins Turner.

Some have been offered settlements that represent a fraction of the back pay they are owed, Turner said. He estimates the total owed in back wages, plus overtime, related benefits and potential penalties, could add up to $62.5 million. “We want to see justice for all of the workers,” Turner said. Three Seattle law firms are working together on the class-action lawsuits, which were each filed against an individual company and names one or more employees but represents others. Turner said they would bring additional lawsuits if workers from other companies come forward. “We talked to a lot of people who were just too afraid” of losing their jobs, he said. Aneb Abdinor Hirey, a driver for GCA Services Group, said she knows many people who are afraid of speaking up because they can’t afford to lose their jobs. “I don’t care. If they fire me, I’m going to the law. I will sue them again,” said Hirey, who makes $12.79 an hour and has worked for the company for more than six years. A phone call to the Cleveland-based company was not immediately returned Wednesday.

YMCA officials plan SARC name change BY ALANA LINDEROTH OLYMPIC PENINSULA NEWS GROUP

The Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center is on track to open in September, although likely under a different name. “We appreciate and recognize the vision that the founders of SARC had, but it has become clear a name change needs to take place,” said Gary Huff, Olympic Peninsula YMCA board member. “We plan to call it the Sequim YMCA.” Still, the name and reopening depends on the completion of a contract between SARC and Olympic Peninsula YMCA officials and the approval of a $731,705 grant request from the Clallam County Opportunity Fund by the SARC board of commissioners.

Grant request The commissioners postponed making a decision on the grant until after bids for the Carlsborg sewer project were received, which also targets Opportunity Funds. Bids for the sewer project are expected to be opened in a public meeting March 1.

Instead, the YMCA would raise funds to ensure everyone can become a member, which gives access to other YMCAs, too. “Our first-year budget, with an opening in September, shows a total projected loss of about $300,000,” Huff said. “Of that, $200,000 are opening costs, including building repairs to open, staffing, equipment, marketing and signage. “The other $100,000 is ALANA LINDEROTH/OLYMPIC PENINSULA NEWS GROUP from the cost of beginning The Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center board of commissioners opted with a lower membership during its Feb. 10 board meeting to sell older, unnecessary exercise and building that up,” he equipment to help cover expenses that can’t be postponed. said. “Our fundraising efforts Under the developing so far have identified about Shortly after the bids are swimming pool.

Amendment on tax hikes is rejected BY RACHEL LA CORTE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OLYMPIA — The state Senate has failed to reach the required vote threshold to send voters a constitutional amendment asking if they want to require a two-thirds supermajority in the Legislature for future tax increases. Senate Joint Resolution 8211 failed Friday in the Republican-led chamber because only 26 senators — 25 Republicans and a Democrat who caucuses with them — voted in support, shy of the 33 votes needed. Constitutional amendments require a twothirds vote in both the Senate and House before they can be sent to the ballot for a public vote. “Taxpayers want a higher bar to raise taxes, to take money from them,” said Republican Sen. Andy Hill of Redmond, the Senate’s main budget writer. Currently, taxes can be raised when 25 of the Senate’s 49 members approve them. Democrats argued that the measure would limit the Legislature’s ability to remove tax exemptions at a time when they’re trying to find funding for education and mental health, and would give a minority of the Legislature the ability to veto any tax increase or exemption repeal. The vote comes just weeks after a King County Superior Court judge struck down a voter-approved initiative that would have cut the sales tax by 1 percentage point, beginning April 15, unless lawmakers allow a public vote on an amendment that would require a two-thirds supermajority in the Legislature for future tax increases. The state Supreme Court granted expedited review to an appeal of the ruling, and oral arguments will be held on Initiative 1366 on March 15.

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS for Thursday, February 18, 2016 PAGE

Battle over filling Scalia’s shoes FEW PEOPLE IN modern history have fulfilled their oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution” more than the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Scalia was so wellCal respected that the Senate Thomas voted 98-0 in 1986 to confirm him. These days, it would be difficult to get a unanimous vote in support of Mother’s Day. It doesn’t take a fortune teller to predict the scenario that would present itself if the political dynamics were reversed and a Republican president were in the White House with a Democratic Senate majority. Democrats would be demanding no justice be confirmed until the next president takes office,

and they would make it a major campaign issue. That is what Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said in 2007: “We should not confirm any Bush nominee to the Supreme Court, except in extraordinary circumstances.” That was 19 months before the 2008 election. It is a little more than eight months away from the next election. The president is not about to nominate a conservative and should not be expected to. Will he pick someone who is a closet liberal, daring the Senate to reject that person, or will he choose an openly liberal person and challenge the Senate to block his nominee? If ever there was a time for Senate Republicans to stand firm, this is it. Initial signs are good. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., issued a statement that the next justice should not be confirmed until after a new president takes office.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said much the same. Some are speculating that President Barack Obama, who quickly announced he will name a successor to Scalia “in due time,” might try to make a recess appointment after the current Senate session expires Jan. 3, 2017, should the Senate refuse to confirm his nominee. How long would such a justice serve, and who would decide? When President Eisenhower appointed William Brennan to the court during a congressional recess, Brennan stayed for nearly 34 years. For the Left, this is an opportunity to impose a liberal agenda on the nation for perhaps as many as 40 years. For the Right, it will determine whether conservatives will have the power to stop an agenda they believe is proving ruinous to the country — economically, legally and morally. The stakes could not be higher.

Peninsula Voices

Justice Scalia summarized his constitutional philosophy in a May 2011 interview with California Lawyer magazine: “Certainly the Constitution does not require discrimination on the basis of sex. “The only issue is whether it prohibits it. It doesn’t. “Nobody ever thought that that’s what it meant. Nobody ever voted for that. “If the current society wants to outlaw discrimination by sex, hey, we have things called legislatures, and they enact things called laws. “You don’t need a constitution to keep things up-to-date. “All you need is a legislature and a ballot box. You don’t like the death penalty anymore, that’s fine. “You want a right to abortion? There’s nothing in the Constitution about that. “But that doesn’t mean you cannot prohibit it. Persuade your fellow citizens it’s a good idea and pass a law. “That’s what democracy is all

about. It’s not about nine superannuated judges who have been there too long, imposing these demands on society.” It will be difficult for a Republican president to find someone as good as Scalia. If President Obama puts another liberal on the court, tipping its balance, that person is likely to undo all that Scalia has done to honor the Constitution. The Senate should push the hold button and let the presidential candidates take it to the people to decide in November. Justice Scalia would have approved of such an approach.

Voices from front lines of Flint crisis MICHIGAN GOV. RICK Snyder’s successive emergency managers are now gone from Flint, Mich., but the wreckage of their rule there still pollutes many homes. The crisis in Flint is, on the surface, about Amy water. Goodman In April 2014, the city switched from the Detroit water system, which it had used for more than 50 years, to the Flint River, ostensibly to save money. The Flint River water made people sick, and is likely to have caused disease that killed some residents. The corrosive water, left untreated, coursed through the city’s water system, leaching heavy metals out of old pipes. The most toxic poison was lead, which can cause permanent brain damage. The damage to the people of Flint, the damage to the children who drank and bathed in the poisoned water, is incalculable. The water is still considered toxic to

this day. The Flint debacle also is about democracy. As a team of us from the “Democracy Now!” news hour traveled to Flint last weekend to report on the crisis, we received a text message from a native son of that city, Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore. “Lead isn’t the poison in Michigan. Fascism is,” Michael wrote. “How do u toss a democratic election in the garbage and get away with it?” Moore had just visited Flint to help organize a rally calling for the arrest of the governor. Rick Snyder ran for governor in 2010 as a fiscal conservative, and won in the tea-party wave of electoral victories that year. He pushed for a strengthened emergency-manager law, which would give him broader powers to take over city governments and school districts that were deemed (by a board that Snyder appointed) to be in a state of “financial emergency.” The governor could then appoint an emergency manager with sweeping powers, overriding elected city councils and mayors, imposing severe austerity measures, selling off public assets and breaking existing contracts

with labor unions. He did this primarily in black communities. “We don’t have just a water problem. We’ve got a democracy problem. We’ve got a dictatorship problem,” Claire McClinton told me in Flint. She is a lifelong resident of the city, from a union family, and a lead organizer with the Democracy Defense League. She and her group were meeting just across the Flint city line at a restaurant in Flint Township, which never switched off the Detroit water. As they met, a woman approached them. Kawanne Armstrong was visibly upset, desperate to get clean water for her newborn grandson. Audrey Muhammad, one of those attending the meeting, offered her water that she had just bought for herself, which she had in her car. These two women, both, like 60 percent of Flint’s residents, African-American, walked into the bitter cold to move gallon jugs of water from one car trunk to another. “It’s for my grandson. He was born Feb. 6. . . . That’s my concern,” Armstrong told us. We left that meeting and went to a Catholic church in Flint,

where scores of people were preparing to head out, canvassing door to door to distribute water and water filters, and to assess the needs of each household. Union members from Detroit, social workers and plumbers from Ann Arbor, and many Flint residents were volunteering their time on a bitter-cold winter Saturday afternoon. Last October, under enormous pressure, the governor was forced to switch Flint’s water back to the Detroit source, but the damage to the pipes has been done, and toxins continue to leach into the water. Melissa Mays was in the church, as a founder of Water You Fighting For, an activist group. “All three of my sons are anemic now. They have bone pain every single day. They miss a lot of school because they’re constantly sick. Their immune systems are compromised,” she told us. She, too, is sick. “Almost every system of our bodies have been damaged.” Despite her illness, she was out helping others. The emergency manager is now gone, and the people of Flint have elected a mayor, Karen Weaver, who can actually represent them.

She immediately declared a state of emergency, focusing national media attention on the crisis. She has demanded $55 million to jump-start the immediate repair of Flint’s water system. Gov. Snyder has countered with a fund of $25 million, and insists that it be spent on contractors of his choice — conditions that Weaver rejects. “We’re going to get rid of these lead pipes one house at a time, one street at a time, one neighborhood at a time, until they are all gone,” Mayor Weaver said. “We cannot afford to wait any longer.” Two parallel investigations, state and federal, are underway in an attempt to determine if any crimes have been committed. The first step to healing Flint has been taken, though: the restoration of democratic control. All else will flow, like water, from that.

Safety is very important to her,” Rutherford said. Sims, who started working at OMC in 1987, is a senior nurse on day shift. “Kathe provides outstanding care to our patients and really tries to connect with their families on a personal level to help ease anxiety. She also strives to ensure that they understand what to do after being dis-

charged,” Rutherford said. OMC recently named Burse the interim director of the medical/surgical unit. “Robin is all about the patient and the patient experience. She has very high standards and expectations about the level of care provided to our patients, and the support and leadership that she provides to our staff,” Rutherford said. Burse is also currently studying for her master’s degree in nursing.

Apple fights order

WASHINGTON — Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook said his company will fight a federal magistrate’s order to help the FBI hack into an encrypted iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino, Calif., shooters. The company said that could potentially undermine encryption for millions of other users. Cook’s response, posted early Wednesday on the company’s website, set the stage for a legal fight between the federal government and Silicon Val-

ley with broad implications for digital privacy and national security. U.S. Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym had ordered Apple to help the FBI break into an iPhone belonging to Syed Farook, one of the shooters in the Dec. 2 attack that killed 14 people. Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, died in a gun battle with police. The ruling by Pym, a former federal prosecutor, requires Apple to supply software the FBI can load onto Farook’s countyowned work iPhone to bypass a self-destruct feature that erases the phone’s data after too many unsuccessful attempts to unlock it. The FBI wants to be able to try different combinations in rapid sequence until it finds the right one. The Obama administration has embraced stronger encryption as a way to keep consumers safe on the Internet but has struggled to find a compelling example to make its case. Cook called the ruling an example of government overreach.

Seasons still open in Sekiu and PT BLACKMOUTH ANGLERS ARE the hardy sort, willing to wait out storms and squalls for small windows of fishing opportunities during the cold months of winter and early spring. So Monday’s shuttering of Michael Marine Area 6 Carman (East Juan de Fuca Strait) for hatchery chinook is a burden and a bother, but not a complete end for Port Angeles and Sequim anglers. Marine Area 9 (Admiralty Inlet) is still open, and Marine Area 5 (Sekiu) opened Tuesday for blackmouth with a two-fish limit for hatchery chinook. Glenn Teeter of Van Riper’s Resort (360-963-2334) in Sekiu has been sending early arriving anglers out to fish the caves just west of Sekiu Point. “Just right off outside the caves out here,” Teeter said. “That seems to be a pretty popular spot. Most guys are mooching with cut-plug herring.” Water conditions haven’t been great due to the recent rainstorm that Teeter said dumped more than an inch of rain. “With the water conditions being so murky and muddy it’s going to be a couple of days before it’s back to normal,” Teeter said. He’s optimistic that anglers from Marine Area 6 will head his way starting Monday. “I would think the folks that want to continue fishing that are from the Port Angeles and Sequim area would make the drive,” Teeter said. “I would think so and I would hope so. “Once people start catching fish, once that word gets out, I think they’ll come.” Teeter said Van Riper’s also has a couple of rooms remaining for the halibut opener on Saturday, May 7.

Missing the action Johnson, Boe can only watch PA’s postseason BY LEE HORTON PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — There are two Roughriders with mixed emotions about the Port Angeles girls basketball team’s run through the district tournament. The Riders have gone 2-0 so far, with wins over Steilacoom and River Ridge, and have already secured a spot in the regional round next weekend.

Formula likes Mariners more than Royals in 2016 SEATTLE MARINERS GENERAL manager Jerry Dipoto had to like what he saw earlier this week, when the numbers crunchers at Baseball Prospectus projected Seattle to win 84 games and compete for the American League’s second wildcard playoff slot. To be precise, it wasn’t John the crunchers McGrath who did the projecting. The projecting came from a format called PECOTA, which stands for Player Empirical Comparison and Optimization Test Algorithm. It also happens to be the name of former utility player Bill Pecota, the childhood hero of noted statistician Nate Silver, who developed the PECOTA rankings in 2003. Stat formats that contain words such as “empirical” and “optimization” are easy to ridicule, but Dipoto is a devotee of

using advanced analytics to help foresee performance. He probably even understands why PECOTA likes the Mariners much more than it likes the Kansas City Royals. PECOTA doesn’t merely dislike the defending World Series champs. It mocks them, spits at them, goes Donald-at-a-debate on them. After predicting the Royals would stumble to a 72-90 finish last season, PECOTA has them at 76-86, worth last place in the A.L. Central. Baseball Prospectus executive editor Sam Miller published an essay Tuesday explaining that he and his staff wanted the results to better reflect the Royals’ tendency to surpass statistical-profile expectations. “The only people who wanted this projection were probably the Royals themselves,” Miller wrote. “Shredded projections are the confetti in their World Series parade.” But statistical analysis is predicated on eliminating subjectivity — it’s all about that data, boss — and there’s something almost admirable about Miller’s

unconditional allegiance to numbers that make him wince. And while nobody capable of identifying the difference between a pitcher’s mound and a batter’s box believes the Royals suddenly will stumble into a crater below mediocrity, PECOTA is regarded to be more a reliable fortune-telling method than, say, Punxsutawney Phil’s recognition of his shadow on Groundhog Day. The advanced-stat community’s respect for PECOTA can be traced to Silver, a pioneer in the baseball analytics industry who has gone on to apply his mathematical principles to politics. As creator of the website FiveThirtyEight.com — referring to the 538 voters in the electoral college — Silver correctly predicted how 49 states would swing in the 2008 presidential election. Four years ago, he went 50 for 50. You’re free to roll your eyes and dismiss PECOTA as the brainchild of a nerd, but know this: Dipoto is all in on the idea of embracing statistics rather than dismissing them. The prevailing theme of an offseason that found the Mari-

ners busy replacing Names We Know with Names We Don’t Know was “bounce back.”

Dipoto a believer

once a month, 84 victories translates into 90 victories and the franchise’s first playoff berth since 2001. As for the advanced analytics that have determined the 2016 Mariners to be winners and the 2016 Royals to be losers, I’m conflicted. I suppose I shouldn’t be a proponent of statistical-evaluation methods I don’t understand, but it can’t be a coincidence that every front office in baseball does. PECOTA remains a work in progress, an exercise in numberscrunching that still can’t quantify such intangibles as heart and soul. Its flaws aside, PECOTA has set the high-jump bar for the Mariners at 84 victories: Right there in the playoff hunt, right there through the last day of the regular season. If a World Series parade awaits a championship team in Seattle, the confetti won’t be made of shredded projections.

That a player struggled in 2015, Dipoto believes, does not necessarily foretell he’ll continue to struggle in 2016. Some players will, sure, but three or four or five others figure to bounce back with seasons reflecting their successful careers. Dipoto didn’t retool the Mariners roster because of his yearning to post a respectable PECOTA score in the middle of February, but that’s what happened. All those names we don’t know were analyzed by a computer, and the computer responded with a forecast calling for six months of relevance at Safeco Field. I’ll be surprised if the Mariners win eight more games than Kansas City, the best team in baseball. But I have great expec________ tations — thanks, PECOTA! — of them winning 84 games.

Area gymnasts return for another state experience BY LEE HORTON PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

TACOMA — Soon after reaching state as a team last year for the first time since the 1990s, the Port Angeles gymnastics team set a goal to come back in 2016. The Roughriders stuck to that goal when practices started in the fall, even though it would be more difficult this season because their region had one less state berth up for grabs. “We checked back in at the beginning of this season and they were still wanting to go for that,” Port Angeles coach Megan Monds said. Port Angeles made it by taking third at last week’s regional meet, and now will have six gymnasts competing in each of the four events at the 1A/2A/3A state championships at the Tacoma Dome on Friday and Saturday. Sequim’s Ennisa Albin, who trains with Port Angeles at Klahhane Gymnastics, also will be at state after qualifying on the uneven bars. The Riders had a lot of success on their way to state, including five consecutive first-place finishes at one point. “I think we’ve really focused on putting in that extra 10 percent, at both practices and competitions,” captain Nikki Price said. The Riders also have

“The top five have all gone to state, so they kind of know what to expect,” Monds said. “The first time you step in that event, it’s kind of overwhelming, but we don’t have to face that this year because they’ve all been. “They all have new moves this year, so that’s exciting.”

been balanced. “We really focused on the depth of the team,” Monds said. “Sometimes people stay focused on those girls that are more advanced, but our team really is focused on keeping the middle girls, you know, biting at the heels of the better performers. “And I think that’s what carried us through. Our No. 6 girls are really close in scores to our top performers.”

Bars not beam Albin, the only Sequim gymnast to make state, also has state experience, but in a different event. In 2015, she qualified in the beam, this year it is the bars. “She worked hard,” Monds said.“She thought she was going to go in beam and it kind of came as a surprise that she is going on bars instead.” Now that the Riders have made it to state, the hope is that one or two will make it to the second day of competitions. “We would like to send an athlete or two onto finals. But we don’t know if that will happen,” Monds said. “Maya last year was about a tenth [of a point] away from going. She’s only improved on her routine, but we can’t control the other competitors and what will be there.”

Five all-arounds Price, a junior, is one of five all-around competitors Port Angeles will have at state. Those five will participate in the vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor routine. Cassii Middlestead, Maya Wharton, Lexi Hefton and Sydney Miner are the Riders’ other all-arounds. Middlestead was the team’s top all-around placer at regionals last week, taking 13th with a score of 32.7. She’s taking a practical approach to her second state meet, her first as an all-around performer. “I try not to expect to get first or anything, because it’s very hard to, so I just expect that I do my best and I have fun, and my teammates have fun, too,” Middlestead said. Wharton was 15th at

Port Angeles’ Lexi Hefton performs on the balance beam at subregionals. Hefton is one of five Roughriders competing in the allaround at this weekends state competition. regionals, Hefton, the team’s only senior, was 19th, Miner was 21st and Price took 24th. That leaves one spot in each event up for grabs. Monds said some of those state positions were up for grabs as of Tuesday night, although freshman Julienne Jacobs has been chosen for the floor routine. Monds said that it is important for younger gymnasts to not psyche themselves out and also to not get caught up trying to be the warm-up champion.

“We try to tell them to stay focused on themselves and their team because when they start looking outside of themselves, that’s when it becomes very intimidating,” Monds said. “The other thing is, when you get to a meet like that, sometimes you are in competition even in warm-up with the other people, like they’ll start doing these moves to kind of show up the other girls, and what happens is they don’t have any energy left for their routines.

“So that’s been a focus for us this year: go out, do the least amount of warmup you need to do just to warm up and then get off the equipment, because the real battle is in competition, not during warm-up.” For such a young team — besides Hefton, Middlestead and Miner are sophomores, Price and Wharton are juniors — Port Angeles has a lot of state ________ experience.

Forks boys eliminated; Neah Bay girls make regionals BY MICHAEL CARMAN

ROCHESTER — Forks couldn’t contain a first-half liftoff by Castle Rock’s Brock Johnson and was eliminated from the 1A Southwest District boys basketball tournament with a 55-37 loss to the Rockets. Johnson, a 2014-15 Associated Press all-state player who recently became Castle Rock’s all-time leading scorer, tallied 21 of his game-high 28 points in the first half of Tuesday’s game. “Obviously, we didn’t do a great job of executing defensively on him,” Spartans coach Rick Gooding said. A 19-6 second-quarter advantage boosted the Rockets to a 31-15 halftime lead. “They did a couple different things defensively,” Gooding said. “They went box-and-one and triangle-and-two on Parker [Browning] and Marky [Adams]. “We didn’t execute very well on the go, and we didn’t shoot very well from outside.” Browning, Forks’ leading scorer, was held to seven points,

and Adams scored just one point. “Parker had a hard time getting open and getting good looks,” Gooding said. Sophomore Cole Baysinger led the Spartans with 11 points. Junior Keishaun Ramsey added eight points, including two 3-pointers. Forks finished the season with a record of 7-15. The Spartans lose just one senior, reserve Austin Pegram, this season. “We are going to get better,” Gooding said. “We have the right group of kids with the right mindset. “We will hit the weight room and get stronger and play 30 or 40 games this summer.” Castle Rock 55, Forks 37 Castle Rock Forks

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR’s new charter system was introduced as a monumental moment in auto racing — a triumphant merger between a one-time dictatorship and a group of team owners finally organized enough to demand their fair share of the financials. The franchise-type model introduced days before teams arrived at Daytona International Speedway has been celebrated for a series wracked with instability because of an independent-contractor model that forced competitors to heavily rely on sponsorship. Now the owners are guaranteed a bigger chunk of the pot and 36 slots in the field every week. The drivers? Well, most aren’t so certain how good of a deal this is for their bottom line. “I think anyone would like to know before the terms of their employment change, but that is not the situation,” Brad Keselowski said. “I am aware of the fact that I am a race car driver, and no matter what happens, I am still going to be OK. I am not looking for

anyone to feel bad for me. On the other side, it is not ideal. “It would be like if your employer just said, ‘Hey, don’t worry about it, you will get paid.’ That is kind of where most every driver is.” The charter system has completely overhauled how drivers will be paid. Drivers typically negotiated individual contracts with team owners in which they were promised specific salaries and percentages of each week’s purse. The new system has set aside a fixed portion of the purse for the 36 charter teams, and an additional portion that goes to charter teams based on a performance scale. Starting with last weekend’s exhibition race at Daytona, the race winnings and total purse were not publicized as had been the norm. NASCAR had touted transparency in the charter agreement, but now the public — and some drivers — won’t know how prize money was distributed. Drivers said that when the final charter deal was signed by NASCAR and team owners, the language surrounding their method of pay differed from what they had been led to believe.

DEAR ABBY: At least “Renee in Oregon” (Sept. 10), who asked her adult daughters for their friends’ phone numbers, cares enough to want someone to call if her adult children don’t respond. I didn’t regard her request as nosy or overbearing, simply so she’d have a “just in case” number. Renee’s daughters sound like ungrateful brats who don’t care anything about worrying their parents. I’m thankful my four adult children will text me in response to my call to let me know they are OK. I have never had a problem getting a contact number from them for a neighbor or friend. Two of them offered the information without my asking. I have only had to call a contact once. Thank goodness it was only a matter of a stolen phone, not a sick or injured child. I’m blessed my kids understand that it’s not to get in their business, but a logical safety issue. Lucky Dad in Kentucky

Power steering Dear Doctor: I have a 2010 Cadillac DTS with a power steering leak. I have to add new fluid every couple of days. What is causing this? Andrew Dear Andrew: Your Cadillac needs to be inspected by a technician. I can tell you that I have seen a lot of rotted metal section return lines leaking. At my shop, we replace the rotted section with a high-pressure rubber line and double-clamp each end.

Wheel locks Dear Doctor: I read your informative column every week. I am the original owner of a 2000 Lexus ES 300

(95,000 miles) and a 2002 Toyota RAV4 four-cylinder 4WD (95,000 miles). I noticed with both vehicles that about once a month when I place the key in the ignition, the steering wheel is locked and I cannot turn the key to the “on” position. I took my daughter’s advice and wiggled the steering wheel, at which time the steering wheel unlocks. Stanford Dear Stanford: The most common reason for this is because when the engine is shut off, your hand may be on the steering wheel, holding it with some pressure. If you let go of the steering wheel and then turn the key off, you should not have to wiggle the wheel to turn the key. This is the case on most vehicles, regardless of brand.
