Stopped at stop sign Meissner was stopped at the stop sign at Teal Lake Road and Highway 104 in his 2003 Ford Taurus when he “tried to jump out into traffic to beat a log truck” and collided with Limestall’s 2006 Dodge van traveling west on Highway 104, said Trooper Todd Bartolac, State Patrol spokesman. “He tried to jump out and beat traffic,” Bartolac said. Chimacum school officials learned of Meissner’s death upon arrival at work and called in a team of crisis counselors. When news of the fatality was announced, the counselors, who were from Port Angeles and Port Townsend, began meeting with children immediately. The Chimacum School District is in a single location that houses the elementary, middle and high schools. Assistant Superintendent Art Clarke said Tony Meissner was well-known among the children.

lallam County’s largest community food banks are seeing a radical rise in the hungry faces of harsh economic times, with Port Angeles and Sequim hardest hit. “We’re double,” Josie Gilbeck, Port Angeles Food Bank executive director, said bluntly last week, citing her estimated comparison this year to the same period in 2009. The week before last, the facility at 402 Valley St. served 983 families, she said, or about 8,000 individuals. “We have a request for 9,000 [Thanksgiving] turkey boxes for Clallam County,” she added. Who are the hungry people that Gilbeck and her 14 regular volunteers serve? “It’s Grandma who lost her home to foreclosure,” she said. “It’s Mom and Dad who lost their jobs.” Turn

Briefly: World Restrictions on flavored cigarettes urged MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay — In a major blow to the tobacco industry, public health officials from around the world agreed Saturday to recommend restricting or banning flavor additives that make cigarettes more attractive to new smokers. Delegates from 172 countries that have signed on to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control treaty also agreed to recommend that tobacco producers be required to disclose their ingredients to health authorities. The tobacco industry lobbied hard against the guidelines, saying that millions of jobs would be lost and economies ruined if countries follow through. Developing detailed guidelines for how governments should regulate aromatic and flavor additives that make otherwise harsh-tasting cigarettes more palatable has been a major goal since the treaty went into effect five years ago. Articles 9 and 10 now provide a road map any country can use to establish its own regulations. The United States, which has signed but not ratified the convention, is among several countries that already regulate these additives.

Written guarantee JERUSALEM — The U.S. has given Israel a written guarantee that it won’t pressure the

It was the first time the Israelis have said a written commitment was made. The U.S. has not confirmed that. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had asked for the assurances in writing in part to appease some members of his Cabinet who oppose the deal.

Drone strikes ISLAMABAD — A senior Pakistani intelligence official said Saturday the U.S. is seeking to expand the areas where American missiles can target Taliban and al-Qaida operatives but that Pakistan has refused the request because of domestic opposition to the strikes.

Pope: Condom might have role in HIV fight Solution isn’t moral, but step toward responsibility could be The Associated Press

VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI has opened the door on the previously taboo subject of condoms as a way to fight HIV, saying male prostitutes who use condoms may be beginning to act responsibly. It’s a stunning comment for a pontiff who has blamed condoms for making the AIDS crisis worse. The pope made the comments in an interview with a German journalist published as a book titled Light of the World: The Pope, the Church and the Signs of the Times, which is being released Tuesday. The Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano ran excerpts Saturday. Church teaching has long opposed condoms because they are a form of artificial contraception, although the Vatican has never released an explicit policy about condoms and HIV. The Vatican has been harshly criticized for its position.

Benedict said that condoms are not a moral solution to stopping AIDS. But he said in some cases, such as for male prostitutes, their use could represent a first step in assuming moral responsibility “in the intention of reducing the risk of infection.” Benedict made the comment in response to a general question about Africa, where heterosexual HIV spread is rampant.

Male prostitutes mentioned He used as a specific example male prostitutes, for whom contraception is not usually an issue, but did not mention married couples where one spouse is infected. The Vatican has come under pressure from even church officials to condone condom use for such monogamous married couples to protect the uninfected spouse from transmission. Benedict drew the wrath of the United Nations, European governments and AIDS activists when,

en route to Africa in 2009, he told reporters that the AIDS problem on the continent couldn’t be resolved by distributing condoms. “On the contrary, it increases the problem,” he said then. Journalist Peter Seewald, who interviewed Benedict over the course of six days this summer, raised the Africa condom comments, asking him if it wasn’t “madness” for the Vatican to forbid a high-risk population from using condoms. “There may be a basis in the case of some individuals, as perhaps when a male prostitute uses a condom, where this can be a first step in the direction of a moralization, a first assumption of responsibility,” Benedict said. Asked if that meant that the church wasn’t opposed in principle to condoms, the pope replied: The church “of course does not regard it as a real or moral solution, but in this or that case, there can be nonetheless in the intention of reducing the risk of infection, a first step in a movement toward a different way, a more human way, of living sexuality,” according to an English translation of the book obtained by The Associated Press.

Obama wants U.S. troops out of Afghan combat by ’14 The Associated Press

LISBON, Portugal — President Barack Obama on Saturday said for the first time he wants U.S. troops out of major combat in Afghanistan by the end of 2014, the date he and other NATO leaders set for moving Afghans into the lead role in fighting the Taliban. Capping a two-day summit of 28 NATO leaders in this Atlantic port city, Obama said that after a series of public disputes with Afghan President Hamid Karzai — and despite the likelihood of more to come — the U.S. and its

NATO partners have aligned their aims for stabilizing the country with Karzai’s eagerness to assume full control. “My goal is to make sure that by 2014 we have transitioned, Afghans are in the lead, and it is a goal to make sure that we are not still engaged in combat operations of the sort we’re involved in now,” Obama told a closing news conference. For some U.S. allies, 2014 is more than a goal when it comes to shifting their troops from a combat role. “There will not be British

troops in large numbers and they won’t be in a combat role” by 2015, British Prime Minister David Cameron said. But he added, Britain has no intention of abandoning Afghanistan any time soon. “We may be helping to train their army, we may still be delivering a lot of aid, in effect, because we don’t want this country to go back to being a lawless space where the terrorists can have bases,” Cameron told Sky News television. Canada is ending its combat role in 2011.

The Federal Aviation Administration won’t take any action against a New Jersey pilot who tossed rolls of toilet paper from a small plane onto an athletic field as a test run for a streamer drop at an upcoming high school football game. FAA spokesman Jim Peters said Friday that the agency found no grounds for further action against pilot Warren Saunders of Westwood. Saunders circled the Westwood Middle School athletic fields in his Cessna 172 on the evening of Oct. 13 and dropped two rolls of toilet paper. People at a nearby soccer practice called police.

and computer networking, smart meters can transmit real-time data that is supposed to enable utilities to conserve electricity and better allocate power during parts of the day when overall demand is high. Utilities can also then vary the price for power, by time of day or time of year, based on when it is being used; some are already offering this option to customers. Meanwhile, for customers with the right training and additional equipment, the meters can give households a much more detailed picture of the amount of electricity they are using, down to individual appliances. That, in theory, can help people reduce their electric bills and become greener citizens. But because of faulty technology in some cases, and more often through general shortcomings in consumer education and customer-service support by many utilities, smart meters are leaving many customers dumbfounded.

The New York Times

Peninsula Daily News

NOLANVILLE, Texas — Sgt. John Robertson, an Army mechanic at Fort Hood, is fuming about the so-called smart electric meter his local utility has installed on the side of his tidy, 1,800-square-foot home. Like thousands of consumers with the new meters around the country, Robertson suspects the device is not as smart as advertised. In his case, he said it is inaccurately measuring his family’s power use and driving up his bills — some months by as much as 50 percent, to as high as $320 — since it was installed in December. This, he said, is despite his efforts to cut back on energy use. “I’ve done two tours in Iraq, and when I come home I’m getting ripped off by my electric meter,” said Robertson, who with his wife, Kim, is raising four children on a tight budget. Whether he and others are indeed getting ripped off is now a matter of national debate. Actions against meters

Complaints Over the last year, as utilities around the country have installed an estimated two million of the new digital meters, power companies have received plenty of complaints — and in some states have been hit by class-action lawsuits — most of them from consumers saying the smart meters are overstating their electrical usage. This is not the smooth rollout envisioned last year, when the Obama administration included money for utilities to install smart meters as part of a $3.4 billion injection of federal stimulus spending to modernize the nation’s power grid. By 2020, there could be as many as 65 million smart meters, by various makers, installed in this country, according to one estimate. Using digital technology

In Maryland earlier this year, state regulators, aware of the discontent around the country, temporarily blocked a utility’s smart-meter proposal, citing inadequate planning and the potential cost to consumers. In California, Michael Kelly, a lawyer handling a class-action suit against the state’s dominant utility, Pacific Gas and Electric, over billing disputes, said the problems probably had less to do with faulty devices and more to do with a hasty rollout. Old billing systems were merged with the new smartmeter technology, he said, too frequently resulting in erroneous charges. “We’re just saying we want an evaluation done and that we want anyone who was overcharged to get their money back,” Kelly said.

THE CITY OF Port Angeles won’t be the first utility on the North Olympic Peninsula to make the switch to advanced meters. Puget Sound Energy’s customers in Jefferson County have had a type

of digital meter, which allows energy use to be read remotely, since about 1999, said PSE spokeswoman Davina Gruenstein. The meters don’t allow “demand response,” in which the utility can turn

A state-ordered analysis by the independent research firm Structure Consulting Group, released in September, agreed with the utility’s assertion that its new meters were accurate for the most part. The study also supported its conclusion that most of the complaints could be traced to a heat wave, changes in personal behavior or old meters that were actually malfunctioning and undercharging before the new ones were installed. But the Structure report also said the utility had done a poor job of educating consumers and addressing their concerns. In basic terms, the smart digital meters are simply replacing the old analog meters, with their inscrutable dials and counters, found on the sides of homes all over America. But unlike those “dumb” devices, which are often read once a month by utility employees going house to house on foot, the digital meters can provide utilities with remote, real-time measurements of kilowatt-hours being used.

by more than 4 percent annually by 2030. Nationally, that could mean annual savings of roughly $20.4 billion for utilities and their customers, according to the institute. And consumers can benefit, smart-meter proponents say, because they can use a variety of add-on devices of their choosing, or online services, that allow them to view the meter’s real-time data too. The problem, some experts say, is that many smart-meter rollout programs have simply stuck the new boxes on the sides of homes, without fully explaining to consumers what smart meters are, how they work and what they can do to make the most of them. “The smart meter itself is just a relatively simple, computerized tool that, in the end, will work just fine,” said Richard W. Caperton, a policy analyst and energy and climate expert with the Center for American Progress, a liberal policy group in Washington. “But the customer relationship is a delicate thing, and it needs to handled with that in mind.”

disputes were more properly handled by the state’s public utilities commission. Jason Berent, the lawyer behind that suit, said the commission process was too cumbersome and unresponsive for average residential customers like Robertson and his wife, who filed their own complaints with the commission — to no avail. The agency ruled that the Robertsons’ smart meter was working properly, but Berent contended that the commission’s investigation was perfunctory. Earlier this month, with Berent as their lawyer, the Robertsons filed a civil court petition seeking information on faulty devices in their service area. The filing is a precursor to a suit against the device’s manufacturer, Landis+Gyr. A Landis+Gyr spokesman said the company would not comment on a matter related to litigation. Chris Schein, a spokesman for Oncor, the company that installed the Robertsons’ smart meter, said a prolonged and unusual cold snap last winter, when the new meters were being introduced, had caused residents to use more power than normal. That, Schein said, contributed to what some consumers might have perceived as problems with the new meters. An independent study commissioned by state regulators and conducted by the consulting firm Navigant

457-5244 • Mon-Fri 9-4

came to the same conclusion. And while the Navigant analysis did uncover a few faulty meters, the study also found that the smart devices were actually more accurate than the ones they replaced.

Consumer education Still, both Navigant and Schein suggested that better consumer education and outreach — and a streamlined way for dealing with questions and concerns — was necessary. “We’re looking at all of our processes and asking, how can we improve things?” Schein said. The Robertsons are not satisfied by the official explanations. They noted that their old meter measured 829 kilowatt-hours of electricity use in for their August-September billing cycle last year. For the comparable period this year, they say, the smart meter counted a more than threefold increase, to 2,772 kilowatt-hours — despite the Robertson’s efforts to reduce their energy use by cutting back on air-conditioning and switching to energy-efficient fluorescent light bulbs. “If they would tell me something that made sense, I’d be fine with it,” Kim Robertson said. “But I haven’t heard anything from anyone that makes any sense.”

Whooping cough cases increasing The Associated Press

EPHRATA — A whooping cough outbreak in Grant County is getting worse. The Wenatchee World reported that the number of confirmed cases has roughly doubled, to 25 in all. The Grant County Public Health District declared a pertussis outbreak after one infant died of the disease Aug. 24. The health district also investigated 262 people who came in contact with those infected. Symptoms of pertussis, or whooping cough, begin like a cold, with a runny nose, sneezing, a mild fever and a cough that slowly gets worse. The second stage includes uncontrolled coughing spells and a whooping noise when the person inhales.

Altair, Boulder to close briefly Peninsula Daily News

OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK — Foot and vehicle traffic will be closed at Altair Campground, Boulder Creek Trail and Olympic Hot Springs during a two-day period when crews will transport logs to the former Boulder Creek automobile campground. A helicopter will transport about 200 logs from the Glines Canyon area to the former Boulder Creek campground, Olympic National Park said in a statement.

Book Lust to Go author Nancy Pearl will discuss and sign copies of her latest trove of recommended reading at the Port Angeles Library on Monday night.

Seattle librarian shares her lust for good books

Free reading Monday

Pearl’s student

Monday night, she’s due at the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St., for a free reading and discussion, after which she’ll sign copies of her books, including the original Book Lust from 2003, More Book Lust from 2005 and 2007’s Book Crush, a trove of recommended books for youths. Right up front, Pearl proclaims that she’s not wild about traveling — the physical kind, at least. She’s much more into using a book and an armchair to achieve liftoff, to Sri Lanka, South Africa, Wyoming or Las Vegas. And Book Lust to Go pulses with her passionate recommendations about which authors are the best at taking you inside the soul of a place. Open this paperback anywhere, and you’ll be lured in by titles such as The Curve of Time, M. Wylie

Jennifer Knight, youth services librarian at the main Port Angeles Library, was Pearl’s student when she was teaching at the University of Washington. “I take credit for her being in Port Angeles,” Pearl said, “because I told her she would have a better opportunity to make a difference in a community library,” more than in a big urban institution. That has held true, said Knight, who came to the North Olympic Peninsula a year after graduating from UW in June 2008. She took Pearl’s “reader’s advisory” course on how a librarian can connect a reader with the right book at the right time. “I use what I learned every day,” Knight said. “It has been invaluable . . . with all kinds of readers,” from children to their parents and grandparents. On her quest for titles to

Thank-you cards The Port Angeles Association of Realtors will provide thank-you cards and baskets of baked goods to the Port Angeles police and fire departments, as well as to the Clallam County Sher-

iff’s Office, the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribal Police, the PenCom dispatch center, U.S. Border Patrol, the Department of Homeland Security Air & Marine Operations and Olympic National Park rangers.

Pearl’s next project is, gulp, a novel. “I’ve written short stories. And I have a novel I wrote when I was 18, but reading it is a little painful,” she said. Now, at 65, she’s writing a work of fiction about a decade in the life of a couple, from age 25 to 35. “It’s very scary to write fiction at all,” Pearl said. “Part of it is I’m so critical of books.” For now, Pearl is delighted to be returning to the Peninsula. She spoke to a crowd at Chimacum High School last November in a presentation sponsored by the Jefferson County Library and filled the Raymond Carver Room at the Port Angeles Library in December 2007. Pearl added that the sponsor of her Monday appearance, Port Book and News in downtown Port Angeles, is a favorite bookshop. “Anything I can do to help independent bookstores,” she added, “I will do.”

One piece of travel nonfiction not in this collection is Eat Pray Love, Elizabeth Gilbert’s tale of a year divided among Italy, India and Bali. “I didn’t care for it,” Pearl said. As with many a memoir, Eat was a tad too selfindulgent for her taste. Pearl does, however, include Gilbert’s first novel, Stern Men, a coming-of-age story about a woman living on two small islands off the coast of Maine.

From Sea-Tac

PORT ANGELES — Lust is the perfect word. And Nancy Pearl is full of it. She’s loaded with lust for life, for reading and for telling people about good books. Pearl, who lives in Seattle, spent two years combing the shelves of shops and libraries on a quest for transporting travel literature. Mysteries. Memoirs. Novels set deep in the maze of Venice, or Havana, or India, or in the heart of Texas. Pearl, author of three other Book Lust odes to reading, almost couldn’t stop writing this one. But since there was a publication deadline, she had to. So Book Lust to Go: Recommended Reading for Travelers, Vagabonds and Dreamers was born, and Pearl, perhaps the world’s only traveling evangelistlibrarian, is on tour to support her latest lust.

Blanchet’s exploration of Canada’s Queen Charlotte Islands; Letters from Burma, Aung San Suu Kyi’s writings from the six years she spent under house arrest starting in 1989; The Good Doctor, Damon Galgut’s post-apartheid South Africa novel; and The Daily Coyote, Shreve Stockton’s true tale of life beneath the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming. Pearl’s picks are for armchair or actual travel; either way, “the books I write about are the ones I really want people to read,” she said, adding that her choices weren’t necessarily bestsellers. “They just need to be put in people’s hands.” Pearl, 65, whose likeness has been made into a librarian action-figure doll, who broadcasts commentaries on National Public Radio stations and who speaks at book conferences from here to New Zealand — where she was once an entertainer on a Holland America cruise — also has a personal connection to Clallam County.

Depending on weather, the flights will occur either between Monday and Wednesday or between Wednesday, Dec. 1, and Friday, Dec. 3. The Douglas fir and Sitka spruce logs will be taken to the old campground, which is about 2½ miles from the Boulder Creek trailhead. They will be used to

delineate trails and campsites as the campground area is rehabilitated to a more natural state, the park said. Last week, crews began revegetation work that is expected to extend into early December. About 2,500 young plants, primarily sedges and salal grown at the Matt Albright Native Plant Center, will be planted.

Waterfront: 40 to 50 signs to be put in place Continued from A1

The city is budgeting $500,000 in economic development funds in 2011 for the project, expected to be a multimillion-dollar effort. West said the funds are intended to be used to match grants. He also acknowledged that the city will need some funding to maintain any waterfront improvements.

The two-phase plan is expected to cost about $778,000.

Death and Memorial Notice Ellsworth Oren Swett August 11, 1910 November 4, 2010 On November 4, 2010, the world lost a good man. Ellsworth Oren Swett passed away in his home at age 100.

March 11, 1921 November 7, 2010 Barbara Ellen (Higgins Yelland DiMaio) Dante, wife, mother of eight, grandmother of 14 and great-grandmother of three (with two more coming soon), gardener, librarian, public speaker, friend, essayist, homemaker and collector of cookbooks, died of lymphoma with Nick Dante, her husband for three decades, at her bedside. Barbara “Bobbie” Dante was born March 11, 1921, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Adele and Sydney Higgins. She had two sisters, Pat and Connie. At an early age, they moved to California and settled in San Anselmo, where she grew up with dogs and horses, two loves that continued throughout her life. She entered the University of California at Berkeley, where she met and fell in love with Robert McCrea Yelland Jr. They married in 1942 shortly after his graduation and only days before he shipped out with the Navy. After the war they settled in Clarksburg, California, where they farmed with Bob’s father, Robert M. Yelland Sr. and had six of their eight children. In 1955, they moved to Blackfoot, Idaho, and farmed nearly 1,000 acres they cleared themselves

of sagebrush and lava rock. There they raised sheep, cattle, quarter horses and crops, and the last two of their eight children were born. Bobbie, showing her wry sense of humor, used to say they weren’t Mormons or Catholics, but they were “just lusty Protestants.” In 1962, they moved the family to Bountiful, Utah, and from there lived in several farming communities in the Northwest, including a few years in Ellensburg, Washington. There, she went back to school, eventually getting master’s degrees in English, library science and counseling. In 1976, her husband, Bob, died suddenly. After moving to Corvallis, Oregon, she corresponded for several months with her future husband, Nick, who answered her ad in

Now I’m a mail-order minister I RECENTLY HAD the great honor of performing a wedding ceremony for my good friend, Bob, and his now-wife, thenfiancee, Jane. (I should note: Names Michael have been Showalter changed to protect the innocent. Or to put it another way, his name’s not Bob and her name’s not Jane. (That said, Bob and Jane are fine names. The last thing (I want here is to offend the Bobs and the Janes of the world. There’s nothing wrong with the names Bob or Jane. Quite the opposite, Bob and Jane are fantastic names, which is why chose them.) But I digress. To perform said wedding ceremony, yours truly had to become a legally certified “wedding officiant” in the state of New York.

This was no easy task, and I am happy to report that I did in fact receive said certification after some rigorous theological training and lots of paperwork. This rigorous training came in the form of me going online for approximately six minutes and obtaining my ordination from a reputable website for an undisclosed sum of money — hint: it’s cheaper to get ordained than it is to buy a DVD box set of the TV show “Baywatch” — and the paperwork came in the form of . . . paperwork. In exchange for my training, the money that I gave them and my signing my name to stuff, I am now the proud recipient of a plastic card that reads, “Michael Showalter, Ordained Minister of The Universal Church of Everywhere & Everybody.” (I should note that the name of the church for which I now am a minister of has been changed to protect it from . . . me.) Point being, I’m an ordained minister now! I have no idea what that means other than that I have a

Speaking Out

card that says it’s so, and that I can legally perform wedding ceremonies in the state of New York now — but moreover, it’s really, really cool. I should also mention that when I received my ordination, I chose the “Golden Package,” which included not only the card, but also a bumper sticker, a T-shirt, a puffy finger, a mug, a hat and a keychain, all bearing my name and the words, “Ordained Minister.” To repeat: I am an Ordained Minister. And not just any old gardenvariety minister. No, sir. I’m the “ordained” kind. I don’t even know what the word “ordained” means, and yet I’m FULLY ordained. Not “semi,” “sort of” or “kind of” ordained, mind you — no, I’m of the “fully” ordained variety of being ordained. Again, this is not a slight on any of my “Kind of Ordained Minister” friends. It’s just that I am fully ordained. I have a puffy finger, a

mug and a keychain to prove it — not to mention a bumper sticker and a card. Or, to put another way, you are now reading the written words of an ordained minister. That’s right: These words that you are reading right now are being written by the fingers of a fully certified practicing minister of the Universal Church of Everywhere & Everybody. “Frog. Boat. Muffin.” These three words were just written by an ordained minister. “Oatmeal. Nose plug. Flipflops.” Ordained minister wrote that. “Poopybutt. Flubberdoodle. Terducken.” I could and will go on. “Barns. Pot stickers. Pea soup.” Ordained minister’s words all. But I digress. Can you imagine the fun that I have had introducing myself at parties lately? “Hello, I’m Ordained Minister Michael. Nice to meet you. Have a wedding you need performed?” “What do I do, you ask? Oh,

I’m a practicing Minister at The Universal Church of Everywhere & Everybody. “I’ve got this card to prove it! You should come hear my sermon next week. “I’ll be giving part one of my five-part oratory about ‘How Awesome it is That I’m an Ordained Minister.’” What’s interesting is that I am getting married myself next year. I’m wondering if I should not only get married myself but actually literally marry myself. “Do you yourself take this woman . . . ” But I digress. _______ Michael Showalter is a comedian, writer, actor and director.

“Good pumpkin pie. It brings me to thoughts of the spirit of Thanksgiving. Pumpkin pie is always good. Please add whipped cream on top.”

“Mashed potatoes and gravy. It takes me back to my mom’s cooking. I try them every year at Thanksgiving, but they never compare to my mom’s. But I have to give them a try.”

“Turkey and stuffing. The tryptophan in the turkey makes me sleepy. I love to eat turkey at the Thanksgiving table and then take an afternoon nap. I’m stuffed anyway.”

“It’s all so good. Probably the turkey. The white meat is the best. I remember as a child smelling the aroma of my mom fixing the turkey. We had that Thanksgiving smell all day.”

“Turkey stuffed with succulent dressing. I’m a white meat type of guy. I also like pumpkin pie and whipped cream. I enjoy the company of my family even more than the food.”

“My grandfather raised potatoes on Prince Edward Island, so I’m a potato freak. I make them with butter, sour cream, fresh herbs and milk. Then I’m good to go.”

Interviews

Peninsula Voices Silly demand? How in the world could anyone construe it to be the responsibility (or even privilege) of Clallam Transit, a public-sector service, to deliver customers to the doorstep of any retail merchant? The expectation of such service is the antithesis of the separation of public- and private-sector responsibilities. It is the responsibility of Walmart or any other private, for-profit business to deliver paying customers to their cash registers. It is not the responsibility of public-sector transportation entities supported by taxpayer resources to do so. If Walmart wishes these consumers to be delivered to its doorstep, Walmart should provide shuttle service from the bus stop to the store’s front door, as do local casinos, for example. I hope the decisionmakers in the public transportation department will have the good sense to stand fast in the face of this silly demand. Who will be next with such demands — those such

as grocers, book stores, medical offices, tobacconists and liquor vendors who will say bring paying customers to our front doors, you did it for Walmart? Dave Dau, Port Angeles

Anti-screening The bad guys are really laughing it up as they watch the screening procedures that airline passengers are going through in the United States now. I imagine graphic patdown pictures are playing nonstop on Al Jazeera TV. The government officials who put into effect this totally embarrassing process have absolutely no common sense and are playing right into terrorists’ hands. It says something about the mental state of these bureaucrats who find enhanced methods of questioning known terrorists distasteful — but applaud humiliating and explicit touching of innocent American citizens. Better systems are available. Oh, that’s right. We aren’t allowed to profile because we might offend

Tax fraud, family-style The IRS is failing to go after families and others who wrongfully claim tax benefits for children who are not their legitimate dependents, the Treasury Department inspector general for tax administration has reported. The loss to taxpayers from that inattention comes to about $380 million each year, the IG said. In the 2007 tax year, the IG identified 2.4 million unique Social Security or Tax Identification numbers that showed up on more than 3.2 million tax returns. This translates into nearly 1 million fraudulent claims for deductions, tax credits or exemptions. The most common fraud is committed by multiple relatives filing separate tax forms that claim an exemption for the same dependent child. The IG suggested the IRS should send notices to all individuals determined to be involved in the multiple use of the numbers warning them that the practice is illegal, and to step up efforts to prevent the fraud — and go after those who engage in it. But the IRS said, in essence, that diverting resources to perform the audits the IG suggested would not be worth it because other types of fraud offer a bigger pot of money to recover. But the agency did agree to engage in “corrective actions,” but not until 2013. Peninsula Daily News sources someone. Oops! Aren’t a lot of someones being offended now? The terrorists don’t need

to attempt to destroy our country anymore. They can just sit back and let our own government do it one step at a time.

Peninsula Voices Continued from A10 Another alternative is that if VFP draft dodgers need authentic military veterans to serve as a catharsis, they should wear a sign around their neck labeled DD: Their Scarlet Letter(s). Veterans For Peace and any group it may evolve into should be permanently banned from all (real) veterans’ events in this country. Yes draft dodgers were pardoned on Jan. 21, 1977, but their self-serving, cowardly acts have not been forgotten. Tony Cook, Joyce After being drafted in 1965, Cook served in Vietnam in 1966 and 1967. We asked for a response from Port Townsend resident David Jenkins, secretary of the Tony Van Renterghen Veterans for Peace, Chapter 139, North Olympic Peninsula. He was in the Navy from 1956 to 1960. Here is Jenkins’ response: Veterans for Peace supports the First Amendment right of freedom of expression. We will continue to participate in events where veterans organizations are invited. We will continue to make our message of peaceful conflict resolution known to all who will listen. The vast experience of VFP combat and peacetime veterans speaks to the truths we advocate. War can be avoided and must be used only as a final resort in self defense.

Unjustified wars of aggression based on lies that our young men and women die or are permanently damaged in is a valid reason for refusing to participate. Refusal is an act of courage not cowardice. When the truth became known about the Vietnam War, thousands upon thousands refused to go, and additional thousands refused to continue fighting, thus ending the war. Yes, VFP has veteran members who refused to continue fighting and associates who resisted the draft or simply believe in our mission. We are as proud of them as we are of our VFP veterans majority who have used their critical thinking skills to figure out that “war is a racket where profits are in dollars and losses in lives,” according to twotime Medal of Honor recipient USMC Gen. Smedley Butler. We do understand the purpose of the military is to kill, and misguided propaganda aimed at our children to volunteer is criminal. The truth is well known about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Those wars will end only when our children and parents refuse the folly of those wars. We are American citizens and will continue our efforts here where they are most needed, not in Canada.

‘Hacked’ votes Voters in a handful of states had an opportunity this election season to cast online ballots. One of the first experiments was anything but a success. A pilot project in the September primary in the District of Columbia invited anyone to test the supposedly protected voting system’s security. Within 36 hours, a team of University of Michigan computer students, sitting in Ann Arbor, not only gained access to the system, but were able to change every ballot at will. The “white hat” hackers even “elected” a “Star Wars” character to head the D.C. city council, and programmed the system to play the university’s fight song when a vote was cast. And they made a startling discovery: Hackers in China and Iran were trying to break in. The Michigan students strengthened a firewall and changed the passwords to keep the bad guys out.

Rich vs. jobless The Republican members of Congress are standing firm on making permanent the Bush tax cuts to the rich — despite the cost of adding some $36 billion dollars to the deficit over the next year. And these same Republicans are standing firm on denying the extension of unemployment benefits to five million Americans at a cost of some $12 billion over the next year. The rich tend to keep their tax savings dollars, increasing their personal net worth. The unemployed tend to spend their unemployment dollars, creating jobs and lifting the economy. Spend $36 billion to increase rich people’s bottom line or spend $12 billion to help our economy? How can this even be in question? Contact every Republican member of Congress to tell them to stop their petty partisanship posturing and do the right thing for our country and its people. Sally Thomas, Sequim

Refuse workers pick up piles of garbage after a trash truck belonging to DM Disposal accidentally dumped its load over a block-long stretch of Park Avenue in front of Port Angeles High School on Friday.

Garbage truck driver makes messy mistake By Tom Callis

Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — It was a mess. A garbage truck driver who apparently pressed the wrong button dumped a load of rubbish in front of Port Angeles High School on Friday. A trail of garbage was strewn across Park Avenue between Chase and Lincoln streets, surprising students on their way to lunch. “I thought he was going to stop,” said junior Nicole McGoff, who witnessed the incident from the school’s parking lot at about 11:30 a.m. McGoff, 17, said the

truck began dumping the garbage at the intersection of Chase Street and didn’t stop until it reached the end of the block. “I didn’t know what he was thinking,” she said, astonished. Port Angeles Police Officer Josh Powless said the driver of the DM Disposal truck meant to hit the button to close the back of the vehicle. “When he was driving down the road, he realized that was not the button he hit,” Powless said. “It was the dump button.” Police blocked vehicle access to the area for about 11⁄2 hours while about a

dozen workers with DM Disposal, Olympic Disposal Inc., Murrey’s Olympic Disposal and Waste Connections Inc. hastily shoveled the garbage into trucks and bins. Curious students looked on from the sidewalks as the men worked, taking pictures with their cell phones and snickering at the unusual scene. The road was reopened at about 1 p.m. after a city of Port Angeles street sweeper finished collecting the remaining refuse.

US C BLOW T Carroll Realty to merge with HOLIDAY SE -A! Coldwell Banker in new year By Tom Callis

Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — Carroll Realty, possibly the oldest realty office on the North Olympic Peninsula, will close its doors for good at the end of the year. The 72-year-old firm will merge with Coldwell Banker Uptown Realty, located at 1115 E. Front St., on Jan. 1, said Carroll Realty owner Dick Pilling. Pilling, who has owned the firm since 2006, said he made the decision to merge because he is no longer interested in running an office.

H.J. Carroll founded Carroll Realty in Port Towsend in 1938. Today, its only office is at 809 E. First St. in Port Angeles. The merger is the second involving real estate companies in Clallam County this fall. The Port Angeles offices of RE/Max and Windermere Real Estate merged Nov. 1.

Jace moving

at 3430 E. U.S. Highway 101, across from the new Walmart, will house the Jace Better Rentals property-management division, the relocation department and the corporate accounting office.

Sequim office The Sequim office of Jace The Real Estate Co., 761 N. Sequim Ave., will absorb five Realtors and staff from the Port Angeles office. Jim Wahlsten, owner of the Coldwell Banker office, couldn’t be reached for comment.

Prep Notes

Coaches with the mostest THIS FALL TURNED out to be quite a season for North Olympic Peninsula coaches. Throw a football around Matt these parts and Schubert you just might hit a coach of the year. A total of five area coaches were honored by their league peers at the end of the fall prep sports season. That’s an unusually high number, and an indication of just how well so many Peninsula teams did this fall. As any coach knows, you don’t win such awards unless your team wins . . . a lot. Here’s a quick look at each: ■ Colin Foden, Port Townsend girls soccer — The Redskins are the small fry of the Olympic League as its lone Class 1A team. Yet Foden was able to have them in the hunt for one of the league’s the top three spots until the final day of the regular season. Port Townsend posted nine shutFoden outs and eventually took fourth on their way to the 1A Tri-District. Much like their Sequim football counterparts, however, the Redskins were severely hobbled by injuries in the postseason. Even so, the Redskins played the eventual 1A champions (Bush of Seattle) tough in a 3-0 loss that ended their season. ■ Tom Wahl, Port Angeles football — This was surely the biggest no-brainer of them all. Port Angeles, after all, didn’t win a single game in 2009 (0-10) under Dick Abrams. Then Wahl took over and the Roughriders started the season 8-0 for the Wahl first time since 1967, took second in the Olympic League and reached the state playoffs for the time in 18 years. Short of another coach administering life-saving CPR on the sidelines during a game this season, there’s no way anyone else could have received that award. ■ Shawn Meacham, Chimacum football — The Cowboys backed themselves into a corner in the 1A Nisqually League. They needed to win each of their last four games and get some help after a 1-4 start, and that’s exactly what they did. The Cowboys won four straight, ended Meacham up third in league and came within one win of state. Not bad for a season on the brink. ■ Christine Halberg, Port Angeles volleyball — After her Riders lost to Sequim for the umpteenth straight time in mid-October, she was shedding as many tears as her players. It was a striking thing to see; Halberg being so hurt because her players — many of whom were seniors — didn’t get the chance to finally experience victory against their most bitter rivals. After she led the Riders to a third-place Olympic League finish they got another shot at the Wolves at sub-districts and won 3-1. A couple of weeks later, they made their first trip to state in 21 years. ■ Sharon Kanichy, Neah Bay volleyball — Obviously, there has to be someone from the Peninsula who wins North Olympic League coach of the year honors. That doesn’t make Kanichy any less notable. Turn

NWAACC Soccer

Pirates headed for final

Waiting for the Red Devils (9-2 overall) will be the same team that eliminated them a year ago in the dome: the No. 2 Lummi Blackhawks (10-1). “We have as good a shot as anybody right now,” Neah Bay head coach Tony McCaulley said.

The Red Devils will get a chance to exact a special kind of revenge when they meet up with Lummi next Saturday in Tacoma. Neah Bay came into last year’s semifinal unbeaten with two wins against the Blackhawks only to see its season derailed in a 64-36 loss to those same players. Now that the opposite is true — Neah Bay lost to Lummi in Week 1 (45-0) and 9 (413-30) this fall — the Red Devils can do the same thing to their rivals.

1B Football “We got a score to settle and hopefully we can do it,” McCaulley said. “They are a very good team, but I think we have a shot.” The Red Devils earned that shot by containing the thirdmost prolific rusher in eightman football history in the state. Turn

Miguel Gonzalez banged home a Matt Stefanko pass in the 70th minute and the thirdranked Pirates upset No. 1 Columbia Basin Gonzalez 1-0 Saturday to advance to the NWAACC championship game today at the Starfire Athletic Complex. “They were as good as we thought they were going to be,” Pirates head coach Andrew Chapman said. “It was a very, very close game. Very intense. “We just kept the offensive pressure on them. We made them have to play for 90 minutes at a very high pace.” And eventually, Gonzalez broke through with the Pirates’ first Final Four goal in three trips to Tukwila. Peninsula (12-3-4 overall) had lost each of its past two semifinal appearances 1-0 in 2007 and ’08.

Time to talk is over Chase down to 3 drivers at final race

NASCAR

The Associated Press

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — After all the talk, tweeting and obvious attempts at mind games, it’s time for NASCAR’s three title contenders to get serious about the tightest championship race in seven years. In other words, they need to shut up and drive. The Chase for the Sprint Cup championship will be settled today at Homestead-Miami S p e e d w a y, Johnson where points leader Denny Hamlin has weathered a steady wave of needling from Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Har- Harvick vick. Johnson, the four-time defending series champion, poked Hamlin several times in an effort to rattle Hamlin’s nerves as Hamlin tries to protect a 15-point lead — the smallest in the sevenyear history of the Chase. Harvick, sitting in third and 46 points behind Hamlin, has openly played the aggressor and talked of how he’s got nothing to lose and everything to gain. The trash-talk and mind games have gone on all week, adding an extra element of drama to what’s already been a terrific title race. “I never remember a time in our sport where there’s been this much talking,” Jeff Burton said. “I almost feel like we’re going to a boxing match.”

The Associated Press

Driver Denny Hamlin sits in his garage during practice for Sunday’s NASCAR Ford 400 auto race in Homestead, Fla. By the checkered flag today, it may very well feel like the contenders went 12 tough rounds in this spirited title race. The match pits Johnson, the most dominant driver of the decade, who is seeking a historic fifth consecutive title. Despite six wins this season, he’s been off a bit and his Hendrick Motorsports team hasn’t dominated the way people have come to expect from Johnson and crew chief Chad Knaus. Instead, it’s been Hamlin who has led the charge. The popular preseason pick to dethrone Johnson, Hamlin has had a breakthrough eight-win season. He overcame knee surgery in March, a spat with Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch and has stepped

up in the Chase to outrun Johnson. Then there’s Harvick, overshadowed despite season-long consistency and his role as the leader of the resurgence at storied Richard Childress Racing. With three wins and 25 top-10 finishes, Harvick took easy control of the “regular season” points lead and put himself in position to win RCR’s first Cup championship since the late Dale Earnhardt’s seventh and final title in 1994. Johnson has lived through six previous title races and has been loose and fun this week, enjoying his down time in South Beach with his wife and new daughter. Harvick, never known to get rattled, has spent much of his time at the track over-

seeing the Kevin Harvick Inc. efforts in the Nationwide and Trucks Series. And how has Hamlin handed the pressure? Just fine, thank you. Surrounded by a large group of friends at the famed Fontainebleau hotel, Hamlin has had an enjoyable week celebrating his 30th birthday, which was Thursday. There was a boat trip around Miami, a meeting with LeBron James at the hotel and great seats at Friday night’s Bobcats-Heat game. Bothered by the enormous task at hand today? Doesn’t seem like the pressure, or the competition, is getting to Hamlin. “I feel the same as I do every week. I’m never uptight. I do me. I don’t know what else to tell you,” he said. Then, showing a bit of fire for the first time all week, he finally addressed the persistent needling from Johnson and Harvick. “If he [Johnson] keeps bringing up my name, he’s pretty much worried about me,” Hamlin said. “You’re not gonna say you’re not worried and you’re relaxed and everything, but keep bringing up my name.” Fact of the matter is, Hamlin has simply been better than the champion for several weeks now. A week ago at Phoenix, it was Johnson who should have dominated. He’d traditionally used the desert track as the place where he put the competition away, and everybody expected another runaway win. Instead, it was Hamlin who dominated the afternoon until poor fuel mileage forced him to pit late and fade to 12th.

State: Devils contain Mattai Continued from B1 Lyle’s Henry Mattai came into Friday night’s matchup with 6,284 yards rushing in 36 games. But with Neah Bay’s defensive scheme focused almost exclusively on shutting him down, the senior running back was kept out of the end zone all night. “Our defense played extremely well,” McCaulley said. “I thought that’s what we needed to do, and we did. “Our kids probably played their best defensive game of the year.” The offense took care of the ball on the other side, grinding away at the Lyle defense with Titus Pascua and a host of ball carriers.

Pascua toted the ball 26 times for 151 yards and a touchdown, with his 20-yard scoring run in the second quarter putting the Red Devils on the board first. Quarterback Josiah Greene found Zeke Greene for a 40-yard touchdown pass a few possessions later to help give the Red Devils a 16-0 halftime lead. After that, it was almost all ground and pound from the Red Devils, who racked up 308 yards on 45 carries. “We ran it right at them and tried to run the game clock,” McCaulley said. “Once we got up, the clock just wasn’t in their favor.” Josiah Greene added touchdown runs of 12 and

27 yards in the third quarter to put the game away. He ended up with 68 yards on nine carries, completing just the one pass in seven attempts. Josiah Greene, Cody Cummins, Leyton Doherty, Eli Monette and Tyler McCaulley each had 8 tackles a piece on defense. Zeke Greene added seven tackles and a fumble recovery. Mattai totaled 210 yards on 31 carries for the Cougars (7-3), but his team didn’t score a touchdown until midway through the fourth quarter. By that time, the Red Devils were well on their way to locking up a rematch with Lummi. The Blackhawks, Northwest Football

Athlete of week PORT ANGELES — Cross country runner Katherine Dacko was chosen as the Port Angeles High School student athlete of the week for her excellence in the classroom as well as her chosen sport. Katherine ran a personal best time at every meet, improving her 5-kilometer time by over four minutes, 30 seconds throughout the year. She started out as an alternate for the postseason then filled in when the team’s No. 2 runner was hurt, running another personal best time at state. That helped the girls cross country team place 14 overall at state.

The freshman from Yelm got his chance late in the second half on a counter attack. Peninsula played the ball up to Stefanko on the outside, who brought the ball down with his feet and passed it into the box as Gonzalez rushed on. The 5-foot-8 striker then blasted the ball to the far post just past the hands of Columbia Basin’s keeper and into the net for his school record 15th goal of the season. “The goal keeper got a hand on it, but it was still able to go in,” Chapman said. “Everybody was very excited after that. “In four games we hadn’t had any goals [at the Final Four], and finally we got a goal out of it.” Not to mention a win.

There was not one defining moment but simply an acceptance that a pitcher’s won-lost record or a hitter’s home run total or batting average was not enough to merit a postseason award. There was a need — as my son knew as a player and saw before me — to incorporate the total package in any judgment.

Yet Hernandez created his own pressure. In six starts against three playoff teams — the Yankees, Minnesota Twins and Cincinnati Reds — he was 5-1 with a 1.08 earned run average, and against the Yankees he was 3-0 with an ERA of 0.35.

Pitching triple crown While Seattle was scoring the fewest runs of any AL team since the designated hitter was introduced in 1973, Hernandez came close to sweeping the league’s triple crown for pitchers. He led in ERA and innings pitched, and finished one strikeout behind the Angels’ Jered Weaver, the league leader. In addition, although I may have forgotten it at

times in my focus on wins and losses, a pitcher does not have full control over his record. The Mariners scored only 3.06 runs per game for Hernandez and a total of seven runs in his 12 losses. In fact, in 12 of his starts, Hernandez allowed two earned runs or fewer but did not win. The metrics add up to a Cy Young Award despite the record. There is one other consideration as well. Young pitchers are being force-fed at the major league level in greater numbers than ever before. In their early to mid-20s they are lighting up speed guns and breaking bats with twoseamers, four-seamers and sinkers in the dirt. Runs and home runs dropped appreciably in 2010 as the steroid era continued

to fade and an array of young pitchers continued to make their mark. Hernandez is 24, Price is 25, Lincecum is 26 and a 21-year-old left-hander named Madison Bumgarner stifled Texas in the World Series. That is just scratching the surface of the influx of young arms. Cy Young competition is fiercer than ever. You have to look beyond the record. Felix Hernandez certainly understands the way it is now. He wins with a 13-12 record in 2010 after losing with a 19-5 record in 2009.

Dorothy, curtains and Seachickens Up is down and down is up in odd NFL season

The Associated Press

Oregon State Beavers running back Jacquizz Rodgers (1) is mobbed by fans after the game against the USC Trojans on Saturday in Corvallis, Ore. Oregon State won 36-7.

Beavers stun Trojans Oregon State continues mastery of USC at home The Associated Press

CORVALLIS, Ore. — Whatever magic Oregon State seems to have over USC at Reser Stadium, it was present for the Beavers even before Saturday night’s game. “I said the words, ‘It’s a Beaver evening right now,” said center Alex Linnenkhol. “I could feel it.” Oregon State beat No. 20 Southern California 36-7 -its third straight victory over the Trojans in Corvallis. “Just coming out before the game, you could tell something was different,” said Ryan Katz, who threw for 154 yards and two TDs. Jacquizz Rodgers ran for 128 yards and another score for the Beavers (5-5, 4-3 Pac10), who avoided their first three-game losing streak since 2002. The Trojans (7-4, 4-4) lost quarterback Matt Barkley to a sprained left ankle just before halftime, but they were already behind 20-0 to a Beavers team fighting for bowl eligibility. The victory felt eerily similar to 2008, when the Beavers pulled off a 27-21 upset and cost the Trojans a shot at the national championship. Because both programs are having somewhat down seasons by recent standards, the post-game celebration by Beavers fans after the game was subdued. The band played “Don’t Stop Believin’.”

Losses this season to UCLA and Washington State have put Oregon State in a hole when it comes to a bowl berth. After the Trojans, the Beavers visit No. 7 Stanford before hosting top-ranked Oregon in the annual Civil War rivalry game. The Beavers looked nothing like the team that lost to the Bruins and the Cougars, jumping on USC from the start with a 34-yard field goal from Justin Kahut before Jordan Poyer’s 65-yard interception return. Oregon State went up 17-0 midway through the second quarter on Rodgers’ 3-yard touchdown run. Kahut added a 38-yard field goal. Barkley sprained his left ankle just before the half and was helped off the field before he was taken away on a cart. Backup Mitch Mustain took over in the second half. Barkley completed 10 of 19 passes for 75 yards before he left with a high ankle sprain. Mustain completed eight of 17 passes for 60 yards. Afterward, Barkley was asked if he felt like his season was over. “That’s the last thing I want and I’ll do everything in my power not to let that happen,” he said. Southern California hosts Notre Dame next week before wrapping up the season against UCLA on Dec. 4.

Beavers coach Mike Riley can’t explain why the Trojans can’t seem to win in Corvallis. Or in the state of Oregon, for that matter. Southern California hasn’t been able to win a game in the state since a victory at Autzen Stadium in 2005. “I don’t know. I’ll just say, out of respect for them, you have to get ready to play, and our guys did,” Riley said. Trojans coach Lane Kiffin was just as perplexed. “I don’t know that anybody has ever figured it out,” he said. “They play really well when they’re up here against us, and we’ve helped them out.”

No. 6 Stanford 48, California 14 BERKELEY, Calif. — About the only fight California put up against Stanford came before the pregame coin toss when the Golden Bears came out on the field en masse jawing at their rivals. Stanford’s players responded, and that bit of trash-talking ended in a standstill. After that, the Cardinal (No. 6 BCS, No. 7 AP) turned the day into a Big Game blowout. Andrew Luck threw two touchdown passes and led Stanford to scores on all eight possessions he played as the Cardinal beat California 48-14 on Saturday for its most lopsided win in the rivalry in 80 years. “Our guys really kept their cool and I think that was a big difference today,” Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh said. “They kept their poise.

“I don’t like that kind of football where you try and talk and intimidate. “Just play football. Shut up and play football.” That’s what the Cardinal (10-1, 7-1 Pac-10) did to win for just the second time in the past nine games against the Golden Bears (5-6, 3-5). Luck completed 16 of 20 passes for 235 yards and added 72 yards on the ground. Stepfan Taylor ran for three scores as the Cal defense, which shut down No. 1 Oregon’s high-powered spread offense in a 15-13 loss just one week ago, had no answers for Luck and the Cardinal’s power game. Luck managed to atone a bit for last year’s struggles against Cal, when he completed 10 of 30 passes and threw a game-sealing interception deep in Cal territory with just over a minute left in a 34-28 loss. “I definitely had some motivation coming off last year’s disappointment,” Luck said. “That being said, it was a new year and you can’t really dwell on the past too much. But I did get a little extra motivation from that experience.”

Hawks: Might get Okung back Continued from B1

It defeated Arizona 36-18 last Sunday to avoid a third straight loss. Matt Hasselbeck suffered two small cracks in his left wrist after being hurt on a quarterback sneak but is expected to play this week. Hasselbeck went 22 of 34 for 333 yards and one touchdown, leaving in the first half but returning later. “We took a really serious, good look to figure it all out and feel very comfortable with it,” Carroll said. “He’s going to be uncomfortable, you know, for a while here.” Hasselbeck, who missed the previous game with a concussion, won’t be the only Seahawk playing through an injury. Mike Williams had a career-best 145 yards receiving on a career high-tying 11

catches against the Cardinals despite a broken pinky finger. Seattle had been held to 10 points in the previous two losses but finished with 490 yards — its most since amassing 501 at Atlanta on Dec. 30, 2007 — against one of the NFL’s worst defenses. It figures to have a much bigger challenge creating opportunities against New Orleans, which ranks first in the NFL against the pass, giving up 166.3 yards per game. That’s why Carroll is hoping rookie left tackle Russell Okung will return this week from a high-ankle sprain. He’s played in just three games but could help open holes for an offense that has rushed for over 100 yards in three of the last five games.

“We’ll see what happens. I feel like this is a good weekend to get out there,” he said. “It’s me. It’s the coaches. It’s the trainers and the doctors. “If we feel like collectively I can get back out there and play this weekend, I’ll get back out there. If it were up to me, I would have been playing.” Bush, who had a 6-yard touchdown catch and 43-yard punt return in his last game, hadn’t done much on the ground with seven carries for 18 yards. The Saints, though, have missed his versatility and he could boost an offense that has improved the last few weeks. New Orleans already has one of the league’s top defenses, holding opponents to 16.8 points and 277.0 yards per game — third-best in the NFL. Now they hope to have the offense to go with it. The Saints are averaging 369.9 yards of offense but rank 25th in rushing with 93.7 yards per game. After some earlier struggles, Drew Brees seems to be back on track. He’s thrown four touchdowns and two interceptions in the last two games after recording eight picks and seven TDs in the previous three. The week off may not be enough time to get Pierre Thomas back from a sprained left ankle that has kept him out six games.

Thomas led New Orleans in rushing last season and had 147 yards and one touchdown before getting injured. New Orleans is looking to take advantage of a very favorable schedule. After Seattle (5-4), it visits 2-7 Dallas on Thanksgiving and then 2-7 Cincinnati. “We’re in position to fulfill our goals,” fullback Heath Evans said. “We’ve got to get hot at the right time. We’ve got to continue to build on what we’ve done the last couple weeks. “Championship teams step up in November and December and we’ll find out if we’re one.” Ironically, Bush’s return will come against his former coach at Southern California. Bush and Carroll won two national championships with the Trojans and Bush was the 2005 Heisman Trophy winner. However, Bush returned the trophy and USC vacated its 2005 national championship as part of NCAA sanctions for Bush receiving improper benefits. A few months before the NCAA gave its ruling, Carroll left for the NFL. Carroll is looking to get Seattle back to the playoffs after a 9-23 record over the last two years kept the Seahawks out of the postseason. They had made the playoffs five straight times from 2003-07. Seattle leads the NFC West by one game over St. Louis.

THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS are back. And the Seachickens are gone. At least for one week. Is nothBrad ing sacred in the NFL LaBrie any more? In this topsy-turvy season, nothing is as it seems. How else can you explain the Cleveland Browns stomping the New England Patriots into the ground (34-14 two weeks ago), the Dallas Cowboys at 2-7 and the Seahawks morphing into Seachickens and then back again, almost on a weekly basis? On top of that, Seattle is 2-3 in road games. This season has the feel of the little man behind the curtain controlling everything. Where’s Dorothy when you need her? That’s the only explanation why the Seahawks dominated and ripped Arizona 36-18 last Sunday on the road. This is a game that the Cardinals sorely needed. Now Arizona is 0-2 against Seattle, 3-6 overall and in serious jeopardy of losing the NFC West title for the first time in three years. The Cardinals manhandled New Orleans 30-20 in Arizona when rookie quarterback Max Hall debuted in Week 5. Does this mean that the Seahawks (5-4) are going to rip the Saints (6-3) in New Orleans today? Well, no. The defending Super Bowl champion Saints, who have also been up and down this year, aren’t that up and down. Still, a 6-4 start and 3-3 road record would make the Seahawks serious contenders. Let’s get back to reality and the NFL’s best and worst teams.

This state-of-the-art MRI — magnetic resonance imaging — offers a larger opening than a traditional MRI and has a shorter gantry, meaning it has less enclosed space. “It is not only a ‘workhorse,’ but it offers a patient-friendly space that helps alleviate anxiety for larger patients, children and those who don’t like tighter spaces,” said Deby King, OMC’s director of diagnostic imaging. “The improved patient experience goes beyond the comfort of space, as it also

offers shorter scan time and optimum results.” Also, a large one-way window in the room housing the MRI overlooks Port Angeles Harbor and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, allowing patients to enjoy the view during most exams.

provider to prescribe antianxiety medication. The MRI is a fully redesigned machine developed by GE. It offers top-quality images and is on par with MRIs offered in Seattlearea hospitals. “This MRI offers a good range of functions, and the field strength is the industry’s best known and most used,” said King. MRIs use radio-frequency waves and a strong magnetic field to take pictures of the body in narrow slices. Once assembled in the computer, these pictures can provide clear and detailed images of a problem area.

Bird tally can be part of Thanksgiving THE RETURN ADDRESS contained a familiar name, and even before opening the envelope, I suspected what the contents might be. John Hewston at Humboldt State University in Arcata, Calif., has been in charge of the Western Region Thanksgiving Bird Count for 28 years. This count takes place on Thanksgiving Day, lasts for one hour and is entertainment for youngsters and adults. Hewston’s letter focused on one of our Northwest birds, the Western scrub jay, but it was also a request to publicize the count. I am happy to tell readers about the count and to encourage you to try it. Ornithologist Ernest Edwards and the Lynchburg Bird Club in Virginia began this count in 1966. It has been growing steadily ever since. Edwards asked Hewston to administer the Western Region in 1992. This covers 11 Western states and Alaska. Last year, 447 individual counts were conducted. Individuals chose where they would tally the birds that visited an area they had chosen.

will present the topic: “Overpopulation: The Elephant in the Room.” Wilkin taught for four years at the University of Illinois and 20 years at the University of Arizona, retiring in 1999. Since then, he has focused, in many disciplines, on the research of evolutionary human ecology, leading to his evolving theory of sustainable productive order. Scientific evidence now presents a compelling case that the Earth is seriously overpopulated, as it probably has been for the larger part of the past 50 years. Wilkin will review this evidence and discuss what might be done to get the numbers back down substantially below carrying capacity and what will happen if that doesn’t happen.

No need to excuse defending privacy DEAR ABBY: I’m a stay-at-home mom with a 10-year-old daughter. We live in a complex that houses about 250 people. I’m a naturally friendly person but also very private. When the weather is warm, I love having my shades up and my windows open. My daughter enjoys the fresh air, so she’s out in the yard often. Because of this, some of my neighbors — possibly bored — take it upon themselves to “pop in” for a visit when they see we’re home. I don’t invite them over, and I don’t want company. This happens more than once a day with the same people. I have tried making excuses (“I’m in the middle

Peninsula Daily News

Be thankful and spread joy with gifts THIS WEEK, WE all gather, here and across the country, for Thanksgiving. And here in America, especially on the Olympic Peninsula, we have many things for which to be thankful. But, alas, starting Friday is the super-mega-blowout-extravaganza-holiday-spending spree weekend — the absolute “Holy Grail” shopping time of the year. Since gardening is so popular and we thankfully have such a wide range of nifty items and prices, I’ll rate my top holiday gifts of botanical booty sure to delight any gardener extraordinaire. 1. Atlas gloves, $3.95 to $10.99. These gardening gloves breathe, so they don’t stink, and are incredibly flexible and agile — you can button shirts, plant tiny seedlings or handle heavy jobs. I just got a pair of brightorange heavy-lined ones for my birthday (thank you, honey). 2. Amaryllis, $4 to $25. A perfect stocking stuffer, a superb party gift, a wonderful present — the joy of amaryllis is in watching this huge bulb grow

pivot-handle or airpowered models (may I suggest the fine, ornamental No. 6). 8. Grub hoe (Maddox). This tool is a pickax on steroids, and it does the work of an athlete on steroids, as well. Perfect for cutting a trench, eradicating a clump of crabgrass or destroying a thistle, it pounds up sod and soil. Buy the highest quality available because your muscle is the limit of this tool. 9. Trench shovel. With its long (18-24 inchesplus) and thin blade, this shovel is perfect for digging in rocks or around roots, or to dig a deep ball on a plant for transplanting. Make sure to buy one with rolled stop pads, or the arches of your feet will revolt in pain. 10. My garden bus (OK, this is self-serving), $110. Join us Wednesday, Feb. 23, at the opening of the doors in Seattle at America’s second largest horticulture show. This all-inclusive ticket, with food, drink, seminar, front door drop-off and pickup, prizes and fun galore, is a way to see a fabulous botanical extravaganza.

Phone me at home for more info at 360-417-1639. Only 45 seats are available. 11. Load of soil, mulch or compost, $225 to $325. Every gardener on the topsoildeprived Peninsula would cherish a huge dump truck load of deep, rich, dark, organic topsoil. Give the gift few would buy themselves, even though they critically need it. 12. Gift certificate and a day out, $20 to $500. A gift certificate for your favorite gardener’s most valued supplier is ideal because a child lives in all of us. Who wouldn’t want to have carte blanche in the candy store known as a nursery or greenhouse? And insist on going along (to help load the car) to make a day out of it — friends and presents translate to a perfect day.

State to close McNeil Island prison By Nicholas K. Geranios

DSHS, and service will likely be reduced when the prison closes, the Corrections Department said. On Thursday, state officials learned the budget deficit for the rest of the fiscal year had swelled by an additional $385 million to more than $900 million. The 2011-2013 deficit is now pegged at about $5.7 billion out of a roughly $33 billion general fund. Corrections must reduce spending by nearly $53 million this fiscal year as a result of 6 percent acrossthe-board cuts due to declining tax revenue.

The Associated Press

SPOKANE — State officials said Friday they will close the McNeil Island Corrections Center on April 1, the third Department of Corrections prison to close in the past year as officials grapple with a growing budget deficit. The McNeil Island prison is the least efficient in the state, in part because it is on an island, Corrections Secretary Eldon Vail said. “This will save the most money without compromising the safety of our staff, the offenders and the pubLockdowns to occur lic,” he said.

Officials conduct a contraband search during a rare prisonwide lockdown at McNeil Island Corrections Center on Nov. 9, 2008. with other states to house prisoners rather than crowd Washington prisons, Vail said. McNeil Island was a federal prison from 1875 until it closed in 1976. The state leased it from the federal government and reopened the prison in 1981. The federal prison’s most famous inmates include Robert Stroud, the “Birdman of Alcatraz,” who was held there from 1909-1912,

and Charles Manson, who was an inmate from 19611966 for trying to cash a forged government check. The Corrections Department had originally planned to close Larch Corrections Center near Vancouver, Wash., but found that would not save enough money. The agency will save $6.3 million a year by closing McNeil Island, compared with $2 million by closing Larch. In the past year, McNeil

Island has been reduced from a medium-security prison with 1,200 offenders to a minimum-security prison with 515 offenders. There are about 245 staff members. “We will do all we possibly can to find them positions elsewhere in the agency,” Vail said. There are five prisons within a 90-minute drive of Steilacoom, the agency said. This is the third prison

the agency, which houses some 16,000 inmates, has closed within a year. Two minimum-security prisons, Ahtanum View Corrections Center in Yakima and Pine Lodge Corrections Center for Women near Spokane, previously closed. Larch Corrections Center will return to full capacity and house 480 offenders. It currently houses about 240 offenders.

Court halts Afghan killings case Superheroes Army violated the soldier’s right to an open trial, lawyer argues By Gene Johnson

The Associated Press

SEATTLE — An Army appeals court has halted the prosecution of one of five soldiers charged with killing Afghan civilians for fun earlier this year, taking the unusual step after his lawyer argued that the Army’s refusal to make gruesome photographs public violated his client’s right to an open trial. Pfc. Andrew Holmes, of Boise, Idaho, faced a preliminary hearing last week to determine whether there’s enough evidence to send his case to a courtmartial. His lawyer, Dan Conway, objected because the Army barred him from showing photographs that he said helps prove that his client did not kill one of the civilians. Conway said that 10 or so pictures of the victim do not appear to show any bullet wounds that could have come from the heavy machine gun Holmes was carrying. Conway asked the Army Court of Criminal Appeals to step in and halt the proceedings or order the Army to let him present the photos.

“highly sensitive.” Defense attorneys are not allowed to have copies of the photos but may view them at an office at the base. The Army’s investigating officer, who will make a recommendation about whether to send the case to court-martial, also has access to the photos. Eugene Fidell, president of the National Institute of Military Justice and a military law lecturer at Yale University, criticized the Army’s attempt to keep the photos out of the public eye.

The court ordered a stay Friday and told the Army to respond to Conway’s arguments within 20 days. Conway gave a copy of the order to The Associated Press on Saturday. “We’re very pleased the Army Court of Criminal Appeals will consider this,” Conway said. “It’s a very serious issue when an American soldier is denied his constitutional rights to a public trial and to present exculpatory evidence.” Granting of stay rare

He also said it’s rare for the appeals court to grant a stay of proceedings, even though defense attorneys request them frequently. “Stays do not grow on trees,” Fidell said Saturday. “You’re talking about suspending the trial process, and that’s a huge inconvenience to the government.” Holmes is charged with conspiracy, premeditated murder, and other crimes stemming from the deaths of three civilians in Kandahar province early this year. He is charged with directly participating in only the first killing while

Many photos seized The Army has kept a tight lid on dozens of photos seized from soldiers in the Joint Base LewisMcChord infantry platoon because it fears their publication could provoke violent anti-American backlash around the world. Some of the photos depict badly mangled corpses and soldiers posing with dead bodies, according to those who have seen them. Maj. Kathleen Turner, a spokeswoman for Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Seattle, where the accused soldiers are stationed, has called the images

on a patrol in January but faces conspiracy charges in the second and third deaths as well. Soldiers in the platoon said Staff Sgt. Calvin Gibbs and Spc. Jeremy Morlock created a “kill team” and discussed how they could get away with killing civilians by making them appear to be combatants. Gibbs insisted all the three killings were legitimate, while Morlock gave investigators extensive statements describing the plot. Much of the Army’s case is based on Morlock’s statements. Holmes acknowledged that he heard Gibbs and others discuss killing civilians but said he didn’t know he was shooting at a civilian when Morlock shouted about a grenade and ordered him to open fire. Holmes told the investigating officer during a hearing Monday that he “did not commit murder.” One witness said it appeared that Holmes’ shots missed the man, but Holmes could be found liable if he knowingly shot at the civilian without cause. Conway said he needs to provide copies of the photos to a forensic pathologist who could opine about the cause of the victim’s death.

Teachers’ degree bonuses to stop? Gates criticizes pensions, seniority, school budgets By Donna Gordon Blankinship

The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Every year, American schools pay more than $8.6 billion in bonuses to teachers with master’s degrees, even though the idea that a higher degree makes a teacher more effective has been mostly debunked. Despite more than a decade of research showing the money has little impact on student achievement, state lawmakers and other officials have been reluctant to tackle this popular way for teachers to earn more money. That could soon change, as local school districts around the country grapple with shrinking budgets. Just last week, U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said the economy has given the nation an opportunity to make dramatic improvements in the productivity of its education system and to do more of what works and less of what doesn’t.

Duncan told the American Enterprise Institute on Wednesday that master’s degree bonuses are an example of spending money on something that doesn’t work. On Friday, billionaire Bill Gates took aim at school budgets and the master’s degree bonus. “My own state of Washington has an average salary bump of nearly $11,000 for a master’s degree — and more than half of our teachers get it. That’s more than $300 million every year that doesn’t help kids,” he said. “And that’s one state,” said Gates, the co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, at a speech in Louisville, Ky., to the Council of Chief State School Officers. Gates also took aim at pensions and seniority. “Of course, restructuring pay systems is like kicking a beehive,” he acknowledged. As of 2008, 48 percent of public school teachers in this country had a master’s

did in 1997 has shown that students of teachers with master’s degrees show no better progress in student achievement than their peers taught by teachers without advanced degrees. Goldhaber said his findings were criticized vehemently in the 1990s, but repeated studies since then have confirmed the results. The Associated Press

Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates listens during Microsoft Corp.’s shareholders meeting Tuesday in Bellevue. degree or above, and nearly every one of them got a bonus of between $1,423 and $10,777 each year, according to research from the University of Washington.

School budgets Most school budgets have been tight for years, with districts trimming everything from printing to teachers. Michael Podgursky, an economics professor at the University of Missouri, said the economic downturn may force payroll reform in some places where the political will has been lacking.

And they don’t have to blow up the old system to do it, he said. “We’re experimenting now,” he said, noting payfor-performance experiments in New York City, Houston and Nashville, Tenn. Ninety percent of teachers’ master’s degrees are in education, not subjects such as English or math, according to a study by Marguerite Roza and Raegen Miller for the Center on Reinventing Education at the University of Washington. Their colleague, research professor Dan Goldhaber, explained that research dating back to a study he

Open to reform Roza and Miller found more than 2 percent of total education spending in 13 states — Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Ohio and South Carolina, plus Washington and Nebraska, where the dollars topped 3 percent — went to master’s degree bonuses. The American Federation of Teachers, the nation’s second largest teachers union, doesn’t oppose changes in the way teachers are paid and is willing to talk about just about any reform idea, said Rob Weil, deputy director of educational issues. “We’re not opposed to looking at compensation systems and making sure our compensation moves

forward and changes with the times,” he said. But, he added, “Change for change’s sake isn’t what we ought to be doing.” Weil said the problem is that most school districts don’t know what they want to do instead of the traditional salary schedule that gives teachers more money for years of service and additional education. “I go into school districts all the time and say, ‘What do you want to pay for?’ and that’s when nobody’s home,” he said.

Student achievements The National Education Association, which is the nation’s largest teachers union, has floated the idea of paying higher starting salaries for teachers to attract more and better teachers to the profession. Others have suggested rewarding teachers for student achievement gains. American teacher pay has been structured the same way in every state since before World War II. Before then, high school teachers were paid more than primary school instructors.

Super: Each member has military, martial arts background Continued from C6 Others are expected to be at police headquarters this week for identification. “I don’t condone people walking around on the street with masks,” said the man who called himself Phoenix Jones. “Everyone on my team either has a military background or a mixed martial arts background, and we’re well aware of what its costs to do what we do.” Jones said he would talk in greater detail after a television news story was broadcast this weekend by KOMO TV.

Keeping in superhero fashion, he didn’t leave a return number. Police said another incident with the self-proclaimed superheroes came at about 3 a.m. Nov. 4 at Sixth Avenue and South King Street in the International District. Police responded to a harassment complaint and found Phoenix the Guardian of Seattle dressed in a “black colored Batman costume and a black ski mask,” department spokesman Jeff Kappel said. He was standing with four other men and one woman, all in costume with their faces covered by ski

masks and bandannas. They were dealing with a man making threatening statements and swinging a golf club. Police took the golf club as evidence. The “costume-wearing complainants” refused to press charges because they didn’t want to identify themselves to officers, Kappel said. So the suspect walked. “There’s nothing wrong with citizens getting involved with the criminal justice process — as long as they follow it all the way through,” Kappel said, adding they want people to call 9-1-1 and be good witnesses,

even if a case goes to court. Police said they don’t want people who aren’t sworn officers putting themselves in danger. They point to an unrelated case earlier this year in Maple Leaf. A man in his late 40s was working on his rental property near Northeast 77th Street and 16th Avenue Northeast when he saw men prowling around his vehicle. The man fought the prowlers and was winning, but one was able to inflict two knife wounds 3 inches deep. Large amounts of blood covered his clothes when

medics arrived, and police said the man nearly died. In another Northgate case from 2008, a man shot a car prowler who was trying to steal his stereo. The prowler died, and the suspect was charged with manslaughter. He’s out now but was sentenced to nine months in prison. A member of the Rain City Superhero Movement told police they carry Tasers, nightsticks, pepper spray, but no firearms. Police said they hope the self-proclaimed superheroes are realistic and act as good witnesses instead of putting themselves in danger. The bulletin said a

KOMO/4 news crew plans to follow the caped crusaders Friday night. According to the national superhero website, the characters don’t have to engage in violent fights to be a crime fighter but should embody the values presented in super heroic comic books. “Inspiration plays a major role in this, of course,” character Entomo wrote on the page. “You can inspire people to believe in a symbol. “You can inspire people to believe they can CREATE themselves a symbol and embody it — and it’s not a lie.”

Passengers at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport undergo pat-down checks during security screening by Transportation Safety Administration officials on Friday.

Packed airplanes, pat-downs for fliers Early arrival urged during holiday travel

Aggressive pat-downs prompt complaints Peninsula Daily News news services

By Carol Pucci

WASHINGTON — In the three weeks since the Transportation Security Administration began more aggressive pat-downs of pas sengers at airport security check points, traveler complaints have poured in. Some offer graphic accounts of genital contact, others tell of agents gawking or making inap propriate comments, and many express a general sense of power lessness and humiliation. In general, passengers are say ing they are surprised by the inti macy of a physical search usually reserved for police encounters. “I didn’t really expect her to touch my vagina through my pants,” said Kaya McLaren, an elementary schoolteacher, who was patted down at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport last Saturday because the body scan ner detected a tissue and a hair band in her pocket.

The Seattle Times via The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Air travelers heading home or on vacation for the holidays will face new security measures that could be confusing and lead to longer waits in screening lines. Best advice: Get to the airport early. The Air Transport Association of America expects about 24 million Americans to fly on U.S. airlines over the 12-day Thanksgiving holiday period, traditionally one of the busiest travel seasons. The three busiest days nationally are expected to be this coming Wednes day; Sunday, Nov. 28; and Monday, Nov. 29. Seattle-Tacoma International Air port predicts its heaviest day will be the Sunday after Thanksgiving, when an estimated 90,000 travelers are expected through the airport.

Packed planes The numbers of passengers are ris ing faster than airlines are adding seats, so planes are expected to aver age 90 percent full on the busiest days. The number of people flying is up 3.5 percent over last year. Fares are high for peak travel days, but it’s not too late to find a last-min ute ticket. Thanksgiving Day usually is the slowest travel day. An Internet search turned up a $351 round-trip fare between Seattle and Chicago, departing on Thanksgiv ing, and returning the following Tues day, vs. $640 for leaving Wednesday, and returning the following Sunday.

Winds pesky along PA waterfront The high winds that buffeted our area last week caused surprisingly little damage along the Port Angeles waterfront. Down on the Port of Port Angeles’ T-Pier where the log ship, Portland Bay, is being loaded with 5 million-plus board feet of logs, a portable toilet was blown over. Fortunately, no one was in it at the time. Empty containers, cardboard boxes and odds and ends of wood and metal not otherwise secured were scattered about, but beyond the inconvenience of retrieving errant debris and cleaning up the mess, there was no real harm done. But there were problems at Tesoro Petroleum. For the past two months, contractors have been working at the tank farm on Ediz Hook, repairing the 80,000-barrel storage tank that was built in 1985. The tradesman on the project were just finishing up the process of encasing the entire tank — including the surrounding scaffolding — in heavy plastic preparatory to sandblasting and painting. The wind left their hard work in tatters — strips of plastic blowing in the wind like shirts on grandma’s clothesline. The feet of the scaffolding on the west side of the tank were bent.

Oops! Air Force sends tanker bids to rivals Air Force’s glitch discloses sensitive data to Boeing, EADS By H. Josef Hebert The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Air Force mistakenly gave rival companies sensitive information that contained each other’s confidential bids in a long-standing, multibillion-dollar competition to build a new refueling tanker. Chicago-based Boeing Co., and EADS — the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company, parent of Airbus — are in an intense competition for a $35 billion contract to build 179 new Air Force tankers based either on the Boeing 767 jetliner or the Airbus A330. Boeing received detailed proprietary information about the EADS bid; corresponding information was given to EADS North America concerning the Boeing bid. “It was a clerical error and involved a limited amount of source selection information,” Air Force spokesman Col. Les Kodlick said late Friday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. Kodlick declined to be more specific about what data had been transmitted. Source selection information is data critical to the Air Force’s making a

decision on which bid to select and could include technical data about the competing aircraft as well as financial information. The Seattle Times, which first reported Friday on the Air Force’s mistake, said the data included crucial pricing information on the competing bids. Kodlick said the incident “will not delay” the awarding of the contract, which had been expected before year’s end but recently had been postponed until early next year. Kodlick said the postponement was not related to the disclosure of proprietary data.

Computer disk sent

The Associated Press

It was not clear what use After more than 50 years as the military’s gas stations in the sky — and a decade of attempts to — if any — the two compa- replace them — the Air Force’s KC-135 planes are showing their age. nies made of the information they received, reportedly on a computer disk. “As soon as it happened and they received [the information] they recognized the errors and contacted the Air Force contracting officers,” said Kodlick. He said the Air Force has taken steps “to make sure both companies have access to the same information.” But if the information included price data, it could have an impact on each companies’ final

bid proposal. Pricing has been a key issue in the competition. Last summer, Boeing CEO Jim McNerney expressed concern in a meeting with securities analysts that his company might be underbid by its European competitor.

Under review The Air Force is reviewing how the disclosures occurred and was “taking steps that it doesn’t happen again,” said Kodlick.

Washington state’s senior U.S. senator, Patty Murray, D-Bothell, said in a statement she was “deeply concerned by the Air Force’s mishandling of proprietary information” about the tanker bids. “This is a critical contract with serious consequences for our military and economy, and this mistake will further delay an award that has already been pushed back to allow an illegally subsidized company to compete,” said Murray.

Boeing did not immediately return calls from The AP for comment. The Air Force needs to replace its KC-135 refueling tankers, which date to the 1950s.

Up to $100 billion It has been trying to pick someone to make the new tanker since 2003. While the initial contract award was expected to be $35 billion, replacing the entire fleet of old tankers could be

worth up to $100 billion. The competition had been intense between Boeing, the premier U.S. aircraft manufacturer, and EADS, the heavily subsidized European aircraft consortium. The Pentagon had hoped to award the contract by last August after having extended the bidding deadline so that EADS could submit its revised bid. The deadline was extended to fall and now is expected early next year.

FDA pulls Darvon painkiller due to safety issue Statement ends 32-year dispute over heart risks By Duff Wilson

The New York Times

WASHINGTON — The painkilling drug propoxyphene, sold under the Darvon and Darvocet brands and used by about 10 million Americans last year, will be removed from the market because of serious heart risks, the Food and Drug Administration said. The announcement ended a 32-year dispute over the safety of the 53-year-old drug. The FDA recommended doctors switch patients to other painkillers, notably

Extra Strength Tylenol or acetaminophen. Doctors should stop prescribing the drug, and patients taking it should immediately contact their physicians to discuss switching to another medication, the FDA said.

Little effect on pain Propoxyphene has been shown to have very little effect on pain. Many studies showed no significant improvement by adding it to acetaminophen. Propoxyphene also has a narrow margin of safety between the recommended dose and a harmful dose or fatal overdose, according to the FDA review and other experts. Yet the drug, an opioid

examiners do more toxicology work. In January 2009, an FDA advisory committee voted 14-12 to remove it from the market. The FDA had been petitioned to ban the drug in 1978 and 2006 by the Health Research Group of Public Citizen, a consumeradvocacy organization. On Friday, Sidney Wolfe, the group’s director, asked for a congressional investigation into the delay.

‘Hard to praise’ “I would have praised them if they had done this six years ago,” Wolfe said, “but it’s hard to praise them when there have been 120 million more prescriptions filled since 2005 and conservatively 1,000 to 2,000

more deaths. “It’s inexcusable.” One of the new studies the FDA released Friday showed potentially fatal heart-rhythm abnormalities in healthy people taking the drug. Another new study showed more drug-involved deaths of people in eight states with propoxyphene in their blood than with more powerful painkillers.

Florida data enough And in another new disclosure, members of the FDA now say the Florida data alone were reason enough to remove the drug. “The benefits no longer outweigh its serious heart risks,” said Dr. John Jenkins, director of the Office of New Drugs for the FDA.

WASHINGTON — With roadside bombs by far the leading killer of American troops in Afghanistan, the Obama administration has started a worldwide effort to stop the flow of ammonium nitrate, the fertilizer that is their basic ingredient, into the war-ravaged country. But the campaign, dubbed Operation Global Shield, is running up against stubborn hurdles in neighboring Pakistan, where the police routinely wave tons of ammonium nitrate shipments across the border into Afghanistan despite that country’s ban on imports of the chemical. It is unclear whether the border guards are fooled by clever attempts to disguise the shipments as benign or are paid to turn a blind eye, or both. The problem is compounded by lax enforcement in Afghanistan. While the Afghan government has at least passed

a law banning the chemical, Pakistan has not yet done so. Ammonium nitrate is commonly used in agriculture as a fertilizer. But most Pakistani farmers use urea, an organic chemical, to fertilize their crops, and there is only one factory in Pakistan that manufactures ammonium nitrate. That suggests, American officials said, that some of the caravans of trucks rumbling over the border into Afghanistan are carrying shipments imported into Pakistan, usually under false pretenses. As a result, Operation Global Shield also seeks to curtail exports of the chemical to Pakistan by European allies like Germany and Sweden. Under the voluntary program, they have agreed to tighten customs procedures to try to make sure that ammonium nitrate does not end up in the hands of the Taliban or other insurgents.

ne of the new studies the FDA released Friday showed potentially fatal heartrhythm abnormalities in healthy people taking the drug. Another new study showed more drug-involved deaths of people in eight states with propoxyphene in their blood than with more powerful painkillers.

Alaska Senate race results delayed By William Yardley The New York Times

ANCHORAGE — A federal judge in Alaska on Friday placed a conditional hold on the certification of the results of the contentious Senate race between Joe Miller and Sen. Lisa Murkowski, telling the Miller campaign to take its legal challenges to state court. It was not clear that the ruling would affect the outcome of the race. Murkowski, who lost the Republican primary to Miller this summer but returned to the race as a write-in candidate in Sep-

tember, declared victory Wednesday, after state election workers finished counting write-in votes. According to unofficial results, Murkowski defeated Miller by more than 10,300 votes. However, Miller has challenged 8,159 of those votes. His campaign has said the state’s policy of counting misspelled votes or those with other imperfections violates a state law that says a write-in vote will be counted if it is written “as it appears” on the candidate’s declaration form. State officials, however,

Ralph R. Beistline did not rule on whether misspelled votes should count, saying only that the Miller view was “very possible” and that the state’s was “viable.” He said that the issue was a state matter and that his stay applied only if the Miller campaign took its claim to state court. He reserved jurisdiction in case federal issues arose. Even without the challenged ballots, Murkowski is ahead by about 2,000 Lisa Murkowski Joe Miller Declared a win last week ‘Vital questions raised’ votes.

have Judge Beistline recognize that we have raised vital questions concerning the ballot review in this election.” Rick Hasen, an election law expert at Loyola Law School, said state courts could decide the Miller argument is moot because of the race’s margin. Yet he noted that the campaign had raised other issues, claiming fraud and irregularities in the election, and might make other legal claims. “The bottom line is Joe Miller lives to fight another day, but it’s hard for me to see a path to victory,” Hasen said.

Gregoire calls unions back to bargaining Peninsula Daily News news services

OLYMPIA — Gov. Chris Gregoire has called the state’s unions back to the bargaining table in reaction to the state’s growing budget deficit. Gregoire issued a proclamation asking to reopen existing contracts that run through 2011 for 25 unions. The unions don’t have to agree to anything — and the state can’t unilaterally impose any changes. “The financial situation for our state is significant and will continue to require all of us to work together,” Gregoire said in a state-

ment issued Friday. Gregoire’s budget director, Marty Brown, has also determined the eight collective bargaining agreements and arbitration awards submitted to the state Oct. 1 that cover 2011 through 2013 “are not feasible financially.” He sent a letter to Gregoire on Thursday saying those previously negotiated labor costs can’t be included in her budget proposal. The state wants the unions to return to the table to figure out a different contract, said Glenn Kuper, spokesman for the governor’s budget office.

Of the eight unions affected under that 20112013 renegotiation, there are some smaller contracts that affect mostly ferry system unions, but the big cost is a contract with SEIU 775, the home health care workers.

‘Need to lower costs’ That contract would cost the state about $120 million over the biennium, Kuper said. “Even with the ones that didn’t cost us much, we still need to lower costs,” he said. David Rolf, president of Local 775, said he

was “blindsided” by Gregoire’s decision. “Instead of balancing her budget on the backs of the lowest-paid workers in the state, I think the governor should call the Legislature into special session tomorrow,” he said. By law, Gregoire can seek new contract negotiations, but any changes must be agreed upon by both sides. Gregoire — who is staring at a budget deficit of $5.7 billion through 2013 — said she has few options beyond across-the-board department cuts without emergency intervention

from the state Legislature. Gregoire said she is working with leaders in the Legislature to come up with emergency solutions, with the possibility of Gregoire calling a special legislative session in December. The Legislature’s regular 2011 session begins in January. Gregoire said she has asked legislative leaders in both parties to provide her with options by Nov. 29.

Still negotiating More than a dozen state unions, including the Washington Federation of State Employees, are still negoti-

ating with Gregoire for the upcoming two-year contract. “We’re still at the table,” union spokesman Tim Welch said. “We never left.” He said the union feels it already gave up a lot the last time the state rejected already-negotiated contracts because of financial issues in late 2008. “There isn’t much of anything left to cut,” he said, noting that the federation went without cost-of-living increases, among other things. Welch said that the union returns to the bargaining table with the state Nov. 30.

Astronauts’ photos enlighten viewers on Earth By Marcia Dunn

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Earthlings are seeing their planet in a whole new light, thanks to NASA and its astronauts aboard the Internet-wired internatioonal space station. They’re beaming down dazzling images and guessthis-mystery-location photos via Twitter and have launched a game. From schoolchildren to grown-up business entrepreneurs and artists, the public is captivated and can’t seem to get enough. It’s clear from the photos why orbiting astronauts rate Earth-gazing as their favorite pastime. “The Earth never disappoints,” the commander of the international space station, Douglas Wheelock, said Thursday.

You’re looking at something as it’s happening right now.” The space station’s newest U.S. resident, Scott Kelly, has gotten into the act and has nearly 10,000 followers on Twitter from around the world.

Last week, he kicked off a geography-trivia game, posting an image of twinkling lights at night and what looks to be the outline of a boot. “This country’s contributions to science include the barometer, electric battery, nitroglycerin and wireless telegraphy to boot. Name it!” Kelly wrote in his Twitter account Monday. Most guessed Italy,

including MrsQclasstweets. Mrs. Q is Heather Quasny, a third-grade math and science teacher at Ralph Parr Elementary School in League City, Texas, several miles from NASA’s Johnson Space Center. She said her students enjoy trying to identify a place on Earth from a photo rather than an atlas or map. It’s a way to excite a new generation of learners, she said. “It’s really cool to see them so engaged,” she said. For Quasny, the photos provide an opportunity to discuss space-station life with her students. “One of the things we talk about are, what are they actually doing up there? What is the point? They don’t go up there for a good time,” said Quasny, who is married to a spacestation flight controller. As for Kelly’s game — which will continue throughout his six-month mission — he announced a winner Friday afternoon. It was the first person to answer correctly, via a tweet. “Now play,” he urged.

MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ host suspended for GOP donations By David Bauder

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — MSNBC has suspended “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough for donating to four Republican candidates in local Florida races, two weeks after Keith Olbermann was suspended for making political contributions to Democrats. Scarborough said he agreed with the two-day suspension, which is the same length as Olbermann’s. The donations, first

reported by the website Politico, came between 2004 and 2008. Scarborough, a former Republican congressman from Florida, made eight donations of $500 apiece to campaigns for Florida offices being run by his brother, George, former congressional worker David Stafford and family friends Don Gaetz and his son, Matt Gaetz. All are Republicans. “Because the contributions involved local, noncompetitive races — and

Confessions of a Restaurateur

68,000 Twitter followers as Astro-Wheels, Wheelock has been posting impressive photos of the Earth and some of his thoughts ever since he moved into the space station in June, five months after it got Internet access. “It’s been a real thrill to be able to do that,” he said. Wheelock’s photos last week included Mount Fuji in Japan and the aurora borealis, or northern lights, with a glittering space-station solar wing in the foreground. “Aurora borealis as I will forever paint it in my dreams. Almost time to return home,” wrote Wheelock, whose mission ends soon. Jason Major, a Dallasbased graphic designer for a sunglass company, responded with a “beautiful” via Twitter. “Just to get a perspective like that from 225 miles up is really incredible,” Major said Friday. “As I sit here at my desk and go about my day, to see what they’re doing and

NBC News bans political donations from its employees unless special permission is granted by the network president. Scarborough will be back on the air the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, MSNBC President Phil Griffin said. Scarborough co-hosts a three-hour political-discussion program with Mika Brzezinski that airs at 6 a.m. each weekday. Scarborough apologized three times in a nine-paragraph statement. That’s in contrast to Olbermann, who apologized to his fans — but not to MSNBC — for donating to three Democratic candidates during the midterm elections. Olbermann called for a re-examination and public debate about the no-donation rule, which he suggested may not make sense during an era of opinionated cable-news hosts. NBC News has given no indication the rule is being reconsidered.

Marina pared down

VICTORIA — A controversial marina that would jut into Victoria Harbor along the route of ferries from Port Angeles has been scaled down and submitted to the Canadian federal government. The new plan for 29 slips is half the the size of the original proposed marina across the water from Laurel Point. In September, the city of Victoria downzoned a provincially owned water lot to restrict a larger marina plan that would have allowed for 52 moorage spots. The development has stirred deep controversy in Victoria, where residents hold strong opinions about what belongs in the city’s harbor. Debate has been complicated by the fact that municipal, provincial and federal governments all hold jurisdiction in the area and have different approval processes. Issues include views, appropriate use, size of vessels, impact on paddlers and safety.

Workshop attended SEQUIM — Neil Burk hardt of McComb Gardens recently attended a workshop that is part of Seattle Public Utilities’ Green Gardening Program at South Seattle Community College. The workshop, “From Restoration Horticulture to Natural Tree Care: IPM and Plant Burkhardt Health Care Strategies,” focused on pest management principals, pests, urban agriculture, noxious weeds and fungal diseases, followed by roundtable discussions. The program qualified for professional continuing education units for the three certifications held by Burkhardt.

Bob Catsiff now admits the painting on the downtown storefront is a sign, but he said the city’s sign code is unconstitutional. The city said the sign over the Inland Octopus toy store is too big. It is fining Bob Catsiff $100 a day. So far the fine is more than $3,000. He hopes the fine will be dismissed if he wins his case in court.

Flying: Radiation worries

Travel checklist, 2010 style

Continued from D1

Before leaving n Print out your boarding pass from home, if possible, and check that the information matches your government-issued identification. Bring your ID to the airport. n Pay checked-bag fees online to avoid extra fees at airport. n Check TSA’s website, www.tsa.gov, for information on what can and can’t be packed in carry-on luggage. Download the MyTSA mobile phone application for airport status and security wait times. n Plan to arrive at the airport at least two hours in advance.

At Sea-Tac airport n Move wallets, jewelry, pens and all other items from your pockets into your carry-on. n Most travelers will pass through security by walking through a metal detector, but, depending on lines, some will be steered to the new body scanners. Passengers can opt out, but those who do will get a pat-down. n If you need special help, look for “family/ medical liquids” security lanes. n Check airport information, updates and parking: www.portseattle.org. Sea-Tac’s cellphone parking lot could be full. Coupons for $2-per-hour, short-term garage parking are available on the website.

Pilots exempt from tighter security checks The Associated Press

“You’ll get steered toward the line that’s the least longest,” said TSA spokesman Dwayne Baird, meaning most passengers will go through the old metal detectors, while others will be directed toward one of the new scanners. With some raising concerns about privacy and low-level radiation exposure, TSA is giving passengers the right to opt out of the scanners and walk through a metal detector instead. But those who decline to submit to the new scanning — as well as anyone who sets off a metal-detector alarm — will receive what TSA describes as a “thorough” pat-down designed to find the kinds of explosives a Nigerian man hid in his underwear last Christmas in an attempt to blow up a jetliner bound from Amsterdam to Detroit. (See related story.) New rules call for agents to slide the fronts of their hands (instead of the back) over a passenger’s body, including breast and groin areas. Screeners of the same sex do the pat-downs, and passengers can request that they be done in a private area. For children younger than 12, TSA says it will do what it describes as a “modified pat-down” in the presence of a parent or guardian If a passenger refuses the pat-down, as a man at the San Diego airport did recently, “then they don’t fly,” Baird said. The changes have prompted a backlash among pilots, flight attendants and civil-liberties groups. Thirty groups, including the Consumer Federation of America and Consumer Travel Alliance, signed a letter earlier this year calling for the TSA to stop using body scanners, and the Electronic Privacy Information Center has sued in federal court to block their use.

‘Opt-Out’ Wednesday Organizers of national “Opt Out Day” on Wednesday are urging travelers to avoid scanners, calling them invasive, ineffective and medically risky. George Donnelly, founder of We Won’t Fly (www.wewontfly.com), is organizing opt-outs and demonstrations at airports across the country, including Seattle. Supporters at Sea-Tac will gather from noon to 3 p.m. Wednesday outside Seattle’s Best Coffee in the main terminal, then go to security gates and hand out information, said organizer Rachel Hawkridge of Kenmore, state chairwoman of the Libertarian Party. Donnelly urges passengers to avoid the scanners and to protest — and slow — the screenings by choosing a physical search. TSA’s Baird called the idea of mass opt-outs “irresponsible” and said it could lead to delays. “If you’re the first or second person in line to opt out, you may get through in

A TSA agent checks passenger identification at a security gate, foreground, as others proceed to a screening room at Sea-Tac. a couple of minutes,” Baird said. “But if you’re the 45th person, you may miss your flight.” David Stempler, president of the Air Travelers Association, an airline-passenger advocacy group in Chevy Chase, Md., says his group is not supporting the opt-out day. “Until someone comes up with better options,” he said, “this (the scanners) is what we need to do to protect passengers against dangers on airplanes. “The thing we look at is, what are the other choices? “The other choices aren’t very good.”

The checking is done in advance, but you could have a problem at the airport if the name on your boarding pass is different from your driver’s license or passport. n If you made your reservations before Nov. 1, contact your airline or booking agency to make sure the information on your reservation and boarding pass is complete and correct. Print your boarding pass in advance at home, and recheck the information. n If you recently were married or changed your name, make sure the information on your boarding pass is the same as the one your driver’s license, passport or other governmentissued ID. TSA says minor differences (such as the use of a middle initial instead of a full middle name or no middle name) should not cause a problem. Details are available at www.tsa.gov.

Bumping

It’s not unusual for airlines to oversell flights during busy periods, then bump passengers. If you want to avoid being bumped, check in early. Airlines first ask for volunteers to give up their seats and take another flight, usually in exchange for a first-class seat on another flight, plus money or a voucher for future travel. If that doesn’t work, you could be bumped involuntarily. If this results in a delay longer than an hour past your original arrival time, the airline must offer compensation. Go to airconsumer.ost.

New ID rules TSA now requires airlines and third-party booking sites (Expedia, Orbitz etc.) to collect a passenger’s full name, birth date and gender at the time of booking. The government matches that information against names on terrorist watch lists.

WASHINGTON — The Transportation Security Administration has agreed to allow airline pilots to skip security scanning and pat-downs, pilot organizations said Friday. Pilots traveling in uniform on airline business will be allowed to pass security by presenting two photo IDs, one from their company and one from the government, to be checked against a secure flight crew database, officials at the pilot groups said. “This looks good. It’s basically what we’ve been after for 10 years,” says Sam Mayer, a spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association at American Airlines, the union that raised objections to the new screening process about two weeks ago. “Pilots are not the threat here; we’re the target.”

BY EUGENIA LAST

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do a little soul searching and you will discover there are people and goals from your past that you need to address. Put in a couple of calls or visit places and old friends who can help you pick up where you left off. Love is in the stars. 4 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): An emotional matter should be taken care of immediately. The longer you let something fester, the harder it will be to correct. Nothing is as bad as it seems. Turn a negative into a positive with a mature, loving attitude. 3 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your willingness to help the underdog will make a good impression on new acquaintances. Get involved in a cause. Socializing will lead to an interesting conversation with someone you will want to get to know better. 4 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Do something that will reduce stress and keep you out of trouble. The less time you have to agonize over personal or professional problems, the better off you’ll be. Keep busy and avoid turmoil. 3 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Changes you don’t expect are likely to develop in a family matter, causing you some worry and upset. Proceed quietly but aggressively. It’s best if you take subtle but effective action. 5 stars

PUBLIC NOTICE OLYMPIC REGION CLEAN AIR AGENCY (ORCAA) NOTICE OF DRAFT PERMIT RENEWAL Peninsula Plywood Group, LLC November 16, 2010 PERMIT APPLICANT: Peninsula Plywood Group, LLC 439 Marine Drive Port Angeles, WA 98362

OVER MPG

PERMIT RENEWAL NOTICE: A draft Air Operating Permit (AOP) renewal for the Peninsula Plywood Group (Pen Ply) mill located in Port Angeles, Washington, pursuant to Title V of the federal Clean Air Act and Chapter 173-401 of the Washington Administrative Code is available for review. This is a draft of the AOP renewal that will be in effect for the next five year permit term and will supersede the current AOP. It contains enforceable conditions designed to assure compliance with applicable air pollutant emission limitations and control requirements. In addition, it includes conditions requiring monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting and annual certification of the status of compliance with respect to all terms and conditions of the permit. Pen Plyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mill in Port Angeles requires an AOP because it has the potential to emit major quantities of particulate matter and carbon monoxide, which are both regulated air pollutants.

EPA estimate, actual mileage will vary.

AVAILABILITY: Copies of the draft AOP renewal for Pen Ply and a Technical Support Document are both on file and available for review at the Port Angeles Public Library located at 2210 South Peabody in Port Angeles, and at ORCAA's office in Olympia. The draft permit is also available online at www.orcaa.org. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Comments may be submitted to ORCAA in writing. Written comments should be addressed to: ORCAA, 2940-B Limited Lane NW, Olympia, WA 98502, and will be accepted up to close of business on Friday, December 31, 2010. Comments should pertain to adequacy of the draft AOP renewal in assuring compliance with applicable air quality regulations and standards. Any concerned party may request a public hearing within the specified public comment period. The request should include information to justify the need for a public hearing. If there is significant public interest, ORCAA will hold a public hearing.

MY 7-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER just met a new little friend this school year. They are inseparable during school. She recently was invited to spend the night, but one of my friends mentioned the new little girl’s mom is divorced with a live-in boyfriend. What’s the best way to check out the situation before allowing her to spend the night without appearing like a snooty person? What questions should I ask to be sure it is a safe and loving environment?

L.A. mother I had a live-in boyfriend and was used to my daughter’s friend’s moms pulling me aside to get to know more about my situation.

Living together for an extended amount of time has gotten more popular in the last couple of decades. Many times, a situation like this is due to one or both of the people involved having been through a divorce and made apprehensive of taking that final step into another marriage. It is understandable but not always an ideal environment for the child or children who also live under that roof. As you can see from the input above, you’re not the only one who is and will be affected by the current situation. With that in mind, it

Woman still sorry for Girlfriend follows all laughing at boyfriend horoscope’s advice GINA MET HANK at a dance. He wasn’t handsome, “just passable and well-dressed.” But this was back in the Dark Ages, when girls had to wait for guys to show interest in them. Their choices were limited. “A girl had to choose from among the relatively few men who asked her out,” said Gina. “Whereas a guy had the whole world of females to choose from. “A smart girl took what she could get, hoping all the while that by experiencing dating men she merely liked somewhat, and who treated her very well, her Prince Charming might come along and she’d be prepared,” she said. After three months of dating this “kind, considerate and generous man,” Hank took Gina to a fancy club for New Year’s Eve. During a break between sets, he sat her down, looked soulfully in her eyes, and softly said, “Gina, I love you.” And what did she do? She laughed in his face. Ouch.

Double ouch. “I apologized profusely, but the damage had been done,” Gina said. “Still, he continued to date me for more than another year until I sent him a wedding invitation. “I was engaged to another man, a man I didn’t love, but Hank had never proposed to me, and I wanted to get married and away from my family. “All these years later, I’ve been wishing I could contact Hank so I could apologize again, and more than that, so I could explain why I had laughed in his face when he declared his love for me,” she said. “The reason wasn’t apparent to me then, but I’ve known for many years

Or, like you say, he may be so tired when he gets home that he finds such a task overwhelming. A possible solution: Ask him to set a date with you to make it a joint project.

now why I laughed. I wasn’t laughing at Hank. I was laughing at the irony of the situation. “A year before I’d met Hank, I had met and fallen madly in love with Mike,” she said. “My family broke us up because they thought the age difference between us was too great. “But all the time I was with Mike, I’d been hoping and praying to God with all the power, strength and faith that was in me, that I would hear the words, ‘I love you, Gina,’ from him. “Then, just months after I lost him, when I finally did hear those words from a man, it was the wrong man,” she said. “The irony of it was so strong that I burst into laughter. “It’s been 63 years since I hurt Hank, but I still think of him often and wish I could see him one more time to explain.”

Women share burden of living with lung ailments By Diane Urbani for

de la

Peninsula Woman

Paz

SEQUIM — Sit down at this table, and you learn something about the nature of hope. These are the self-described “lung ladies,” women who lunch together once a month at the Paradise Restaurant. Each is coping with a lung disorder; together, they share stories and tips about food, bras, exercise and the everyday challenges that come with the struggle to breathe. Seated side by side at the November lunch were Pat Hovis, who suffers from a rare lung disease that afflicts relatively young women, and Sandra Howard, who breathes with the single transplanted lung she received on a spring day two years ago. Howard is radiant, a 68-year-old woman married 26 years — “going on one” — to Larry Howard, who has seen her through many a high and low. Howard started smoking at 15, quit at

45 and was diagnosed with “asthma” in her 50s. Later, another doctor corrected that, informing her she had severe emphysema. “I joined several lists on the Internet and got myself educated pretty quickly about my disease. One of the main things I learned was that I needed to be in charge of my disease; my medical caregivers needed to be more like consultants,” she recalled.

Lung transplant After a bout with pneumonia, Howard went on supplemental oxygen 24 hours a day, trailing what she called a 7-foot “leash,” attached a tank to and a canula, the facial tube that feeds her oxygen. Then Howard met some of her Internet acquaintances in person, and they told her about the possibility of a lung transplant. She was placed on the waiting list for a donated lung in October 2006, with about 50 others across the Northwest.

Larry and Sandra Howard have been married “26 years, going on one,” Sandra sa love like newlyweds. The phone call came at 4:30 p.m. May 4, 2008, the Sunday after the Sequim Irrigation Festival. A young man in Alaska had died after his car was hit by a drunken driver. One of his lungs was viable and a match for Howard. She and Larry drove to Kingston, where at 6 p.m. the ferry was full, the parking lot was jammed and the traffic was backed up for blocks. Somehow, the Howards got on the boat to Edmonds and drove to the University of Washington Medical Center. There, they waited. For hours. The lung was still in the air, being flown to Seattle, when Howard went under anesthetic at about 4:30 a.m. May 5.

‘Pretty miraculous’ At 8 a.m., she came out of surgery and slept until evening. Larry sat at her bedside all day, marveling at how her chest was rising up and down. Before the operation, Howard’s lungs had barely contracted. When she awoke the night of May 5, her new lung felt “pretty miraculous.” Howard’s eyes still tear up when she thinks about Ryan, the 19-year-old donor

who lost his life — and gave her a second chance. These days Howard is an advocate for others with lung disease, including those who don’t yet know that they have chronic pulmonary obstructive disease, or COPD. She helped bring together the lung ladies, a group of women whose life stories differ and who treat one another like sisters. Hovis, a 55-year-old who has never smoked, suffers from a rare lung disease that riddles her chest with cysts. At 48, she was diagnosed with lymphangioleiomyomatosis, or LAM, a ravaging illness with no known cure. “I have 21 to 22 percent lung capacity left,” Hovis said. “In seven years, my life has totally changed. You learn about acceptance. And you learn not to rush around,” said the woman who never used to sit down. Among the lung ladies, Hovis has also learned more about two salves: compassion and humor. The women joke about something called the “lung limp,” which can be used after pulling into a parking space for handicapped drivers. Turn

COPD Awareness Month

Paz (2)/for Peninsula Woman

ays, meaning they’re still in

NOVEMBER IS A big month for breathing. The 18th was the Great American Smokeout, the Thursday-before-Thanksgiving on which smokers are encouraged to try quitting for just a day. And it is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, Awareness Month, an effort to help COPD sufferers learn how to improve their quality of life. Dr. Mark Fischer, a pulmonologist at Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles, offers an upbeat outlook for people with lung health problems. “The iceberg of COPD is cigarette smoking,” Fischer began, and “it is never too late to quit.” No matter how severe the effects of tobacco, “in my experience, all patients who quit are glad they did, and proud of themselves — appropriately so. This addiction is so hard,” he added. Not only do the lungs work better, but also many other aspects of the body are better off, such as blood flow.

Fischer urged anyone who’s noticed breathing trouble for more than a couple of weeks to seek a lung-function test in his or her doctor’s office. “The tests are pretty simple and pretty noninvasive,” he said. And “if you’ve had shortness of breath or a cough that won’t go away, you need a simple chest X-ray. The amount of radiation is minute.”

Early detection The earlier your health care provider detects COPD or other lung disease, the better chance you have of arresting the symptoms, Fischer emphasized. “In a more holistic sense, keep in mind it’s not just lung disease that can cause somebody to be short of breath,” he added. Seeing a health care provider about your breathing problems can help detect other treatable problems, such as anemia or a heart ailment.

treatments they need can cost as much as $8,000 per session. Barnes, a retired psychotherapist, was diagnosed 12 years ago with alpha 1. Since then she has taught stress management workshops at the senior center in Sequim, and more recently, begun writing children’s stories and making greeting cards illustrated with pictures of her pets. “I’ll keep creating,” Barnes said, adding that her projects keep her spirits up. Hovis, one of the youngest in this group, is still a full-time mother. Her youngest son Zack, 17, is one busy kid: He sings in Sequim High School’s Select Choir, plays in the Barking Wolf Spiders marimba band and volunteers at the Dungeness River Audubon Center. Zack, with her older son, Erik, 29, and her husband, Mike, are her inspirations, Hovis said.
