Slippery road sends 11 vehicles to wrecks Highway 101 E. tied up, but no serious injuries BY ARWYN RICE PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
SEQUIM — Icy conditions contributed to a series of wrecks that eventually involved 11 vehicles and damaged a fire rescue vehicle in the eastbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 at Barr Road on Tuesday morning, authorities said. No one was hurt, the State Patrol said. State Patrol troopers and fire-
fighters scrambled to help eight motorists who, each separately, lost control and spun out on an icy patch on the eastbound lanes near Barr Road at about 6:30 a.m., said Trooper Russ Winger, spokesman for the State Patrol. The eastbound lanes of Highway 101 were closed for about two hours, Winger said. Despite the individual spinouts, including two rollovers, there were no collisions and no serious injuries reported, Winger said. However, there were several near-misses as passing cars lost control and nearly hit troopers who were outside of their vehicles assisting others, he said. At about 7:21 a.m., a Clallam County Fire District No. 3 fire

PORT ANGELES — Congress has approved $20.6 million for a pier and support facilities on Ediz Hook for Naval Base Kitsap submarine escort vessels. The project could generate 267 jobs during construction, according to an environmental assessment of the project. The funding, for fiscal year 2016, was in a military construction budget Congress approved Friday as part of a $1.15 trillion spending bill.
The Navy’s preferred Alternative 1 for what’s called a Transit Protection System was penned in at $27 million in construction costs in a draft environmental assessment issued in November. It’s available at http://tinyurl. com/PDN-Hookpier. Public comment on the draft environmental assessment will be taken through Jan. 28. The review foresees the project creating $10.5 million in wages during construction, which would begin next fall and last up to 18 months.

PORT ANGELES — Port Angeles Harbor is expected to lose an increasingly familiar resident today as a giant oil drilling platform departs for Europe. Work was nearly done Tuesday afternoon to weld the Polar Pioneer to the giant deck of the MV Dockwise Vanguard, said Robb Erickson, vice president of sales for the U.S. division of Dockwise Shipping of the Netherlands, which owns the Dockwise Vanguard. Today’s departure is two days later than initially planned, Erickson said. The 902-foot semi-submers-
ible heavy-lift ship will take the Polar Pioneer to Norway by following the American coastlines to the Strait of Magellan at the tip of South America. Then it will cross the Atlantic, Erickson said. “A vessel the size of the Dockwise Vanguard with a large, heavy cargo like the Polar Pioneer on board will behave something like a large ocean liner, very stable and capable of handling heavy seas,” Erickson said. The Dockwise Vanguard is the largest ship of its type in the world and can lift more than 120,000 tons of cargo. TURN

Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca and Harrison Ford as Han Solo in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” The Critics’ Choice Awards have added “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” as an 11th best-picture nominee. After announcing their nominees last week, the group’s board of directors reconvened to add J.J. Abrams’ acclaimed “Star Wars” sequel to their best picture category. Its members hadn’t been able to see “The Force Awakens” before sending in their ballots.
‘Star Wars’ bests ‘Jurassic World’ record THE DINOSAURS OF “Jurassic World” may still rule 2015 overall, but their opening weekend records have been annihilated by “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which debuted to an astronomical $248 million this weekend — about $10 million more
than initial estimates. Not only does that squash the $208.8 million opening weekend of “Jurassic World,” but the extra $10 million helped push “Star Wars” to a global sum of $529 million — beating the $525 million worldwide debut of “Jurassic World.” This is without the help of China, too, where “The Force Awakens” will debut Jan. 9. But the seventh install-
ment in the nearly 40-yearold space saga wasn’t alone in theaters this weekend. In second and third place, the animated “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip” brought in $14.3 million, and the Tina Fey/Amy Poehler R-rated comedy “Sisters” earned $13.9 million — both slightly less than initial estimates, but decent showings nonetheless considering their otherworldly competition.

■ In 1913, the Federal Reserve System was created as President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act. ■ In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt restored the civil rights of about 1,500 people who’d been jailed for opposing the (First) World War. ■ In 1948, former Japanese premier Hideki Tojo and six other Japanese war leaders were executed in Tokyo. ■ In 1954, the first successful human kidney transplant took place at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston as a surgical team removed a kidney from 23-year-old Ronald Herrick and implanted it in Herrick’s twin
brother, Richard. ■ In 1968, 82 crew members of the U.S. intelligence ship Pueblo were released by North Korea, 11 months after they had been captured. ■ In 1975, Richard S. Welch, the Central Intelligence Agency station chief in Athens, was shot and killed outside his home by the militant group Nov. 17. ■ In 1986, the experimental airplane Voyager, piloted by Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager, completed the first non-stop, non-refueled round-the-world flight as it returned safely to Edwards Air Force Base in California. ■ In 1995, a fire in Dabwali, India, killed 446 people, more than
half of them children, during a year-end party being held near the children’s school. ■ Ten years ago: An Azerbaijan Airlines passenger plane carrying 23 people crashed into the Caspian Sea, killing all on board. ■ Five years ago: Mail bombs blamed on anarchists exploded at the Swiss and Chilean embassies in Rome, seriously wounding two people. ■ One year ago: The movie “The Interview” was put back into theaters when Sony Pictures Entertainment announced a limited release of the comedy that had provoked an international incident with North Korea and outrage over its canceled showing.

A3 Briefly: Nation Army sergeant has hearing for desertion charge FORT BRAGG, N.C. — U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl made his first appearance Tuesday before a military judge to face charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. Bergdahl was arraigned during a short hearing. He deferred entering a plea and did not decide whether he wants to face Bergdahl a court-martial with a jury or one with just a judge. Bergdahl answered “yes” and “no” to questions about whether he understood his rights and the court proceedings. He wore an Army dress uniform with a dark blue jacket and pants and had closely cropped hair. He mostly sat still in his chair and walked with his head down as he left the courtroom. Bergdahl, 29, of Hailey, Idaho, walked off his post in eastern Afghanistan’s Paktika province on June 30, 2009. He was released in late May 2014 as part of a prisoner swap in exchange for five detainees in Guantanamo Bay.
Time served for loan BOSTON — A man who loaned a gun used by the Boston Marathon bombers to kill a police officer has been sentenced to the 17 months he has already served and apologized, saying his actions were “dumb.” Stephen Silva told a judge
Tuesday in U.S. District Court that he was “young, dumb, and thought I could outsmart everyone.” He had pleaded guilty to gun and drug charges. Silva testified during the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev that he let Tsarnaev borrow a Ruger 9mm handgun two months before the bombings. He said he didn’t know about the bombers’ plan and had no idea the gun would be used to kill an officer. Prosecutors sought leniency, saying Silva’s cooperation and testimony was critical in convicting Tsarnaev, who was sentenced to death.
Teens’ dad offered deal UTICA, N.Y. — The father of two teens beaten inside an upstate New York church has been offered a plea deal in his second-degree murder and assault case. Sixty-five-year-old Bruce Leonard appeared briefly Tuesday in Oneida County Court, where the judge informed him that attorney David Longeretta will be representing him. Leonard, wife Deborah and six other members of the Word of Life Christian Church in New Hartford were charged in October in the fatal beating of 19-year-old Lucas Leonard and the beating of his 17-year-old brother, Christopher. Prosecutors say Lucas had indicated he wanted to leave the church. Deborah Leonard pleaded guilty to assault. Bruce Leonard is due back in court Jan. 19 to accept or decline the plea offer from prosecutors. Details of the offer haven’t been released. Calls to Longeretta’s office went unanswered Tuesday.

Court won’t block Black Lives protest BY KYLE POTTER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — A judge ruled Tuesday that several local Black Lives Matter organizers cannot demonstrate at the Mall of America on the busy shopping day before Christmas Eve, but she said she couldn’t stop others from attending the protest. Lawyers for the nation’s largest mall had requested a temporary restraining order to prevent the Black Lives Matter protest planned for today in hopes of avoiding a repeat of the massive demonstration that disrupted business and closed stores in the mall last December.
Judge bars three Hennepin County District Court Judge Karen Janisch barred three protest organizers named as defendants in the mall’s lawsuit from attending the demonstration, but she limited her
order to them. The mall had sought to block the entire Black Lives Matter group from protesting. “The Court does not have a sufficient basis to issue an injunction as to Black Lives Matters or to unidentified persons who might be acting as its agents or in active concert with the Black Lives Matters movement,” she wrote.
Denied media request The judge also denied the mall’s request to order the organizers to remove posts about the protest from social media and to alert followers that the demonstration had been canceled. The organizers’ attorney argued during a Monday hearing that those demands were clearly unconstitutional. Mall attorney Susan Gaertner had said a restraining order would make it clear that the mall prohibits demonstrations on its own private property. With
the judge’s limited ruling, it’s unclear what additional steps the mall might take to curtail the protest. Gaertner did not immediately respond to a phone message seeking comment. Deputy Bloomington Police Chief Denis Otterness declined to discuss any additional security measures the mall might put in place today. Protest organizers want to draw attention to the Nov. 15 police shooting of a black Minneapolis man, Jamar Clark, who died a day later. They also want to ramp up the pressure on investigators to release video of the shooting. Authorities say they won’t release it while state and federal investigations are ongoing. Kandace Montgomery, one of three organizers barred by the judge’s order, said the group isn’t deterred by the ban. She said she expects at least 700 people to show up.
Briefly: World Iraqis moving against Islamic State group BAGHDAD — Iraqi forces on Tuesday reported progress in the military operation to retake the city of Ramadi from the Islamic State group, saying they made the most significant incursion into the city since it fell to the militants in May. Losing Ramadi — the capital of sprawling western Anbar province and Iraq’s Sunni heartland — was a major blow to the Iraqi government. Iraqi spokesman Sabah alNuman said troops crossed the Euphrates River north of the city and its Warar tributary to the west and pushed into downtown Ramadi. From the south, troops led by the counter-terrorism agency made progress in the Dubbat and Aramil neighborhoods, less than 2 miles from the city center, said Gen. Ismail al-Mahallawi, the head of operations in Anbar province.
Fighting spying charge PANAMA CITY — Former Panamanian president Ricardo Martinelli insists he’s being targeted politically and will stay
outside the country while fighting charges that he illegally spied on opponents. The Supreme Court on Martinelli Monday ordered Martinelli’s detention for allegedly intercepting the communications of 150 people during his 2009 to 2014 administration. Martinelli has denied any wrongdoing. In a statement Tuesday, he said he would return to Panama when a fair trial could be guaranteed.
Syria talks to continue GENEVA — Diplomats will meet in Geneva in January to press ahead with talks aimed to help end the Syrian conflict, a top U.N. official said Tuesday. Michael Moller, director-general of the United Nations in Geneva, said Tuesday that no date for the talks has been set, but the “intention” was that they will begin “sometime toward the end of the month.” He originally said the talks would occur at the U.N. building in Geneva.

British deploy troops to help Afghan army regain control BY LYNNE O’DONNELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan — When Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani took office, he ushered in a period of hope for the country’s traumatized and war-weary people that decades of violence would soon end.

mand province, and many Afghans now believe the Taliban are winning. The development came a day after a Taliban suicide bomber killed six U.S. troops near a major military base — the deadliest day for American troops in the country since 2013. A British Ministry of Defense statement said “a small number of U.K. personnel” have been deployed to Helmand “in an advisory role.” The U.K. has 450 troops in Afghanistan as part of NATO’s
training mission. The Afghan Ministry of Interior confirmed Tuesday that British troops had arrived at Camp Shorabak, formally the U.S. Marines’ Camp Leatherneck. Fighting raged between Taliban and Afghan forces in Helmand’s Sangin district, where an official said the district’s army base was the only area that had not fallen to the Taliban. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

THERE’S ANOTHER REASON to rejoice this holiday season: the birth of a baby sea otter at a California aquarium. The Monterey Bay Aquarium posted news of the birth online Tuesday, along with adorable photos of the fuzzy brown pup playing with mom. For several days, the adult otter had been taking shelter in the aquarium’s open-ocean tide pool, perhaps seeking a respite from the weekend’s wintry storms. Staffers were worried because healthy otters don’t visit the pool that often. The mystery was solved Sunday, when staff noticed a newborn on the sea otter’s belly.
KENTUCKY REPUBLICAN GOV. Matt Bevin ordered the state to prepare new marriage licenses that do not include the names of county clerks, in an attempt to protect the religious beliefs of clerk Kim Davis and other local elected officials. The executive order comes after Davis, the Rowan County clerk, spent five days in jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. “Today, I took action to uphold several commitments I made during my campaign so that we can implement real solutions that will help the people of Kentucky,” Bevin said.
A WOMAN ACCUSED of placing a Confederate flag on a black co-worker’s desk has pleaded guilty to lying to a federal officer. U.S. Attorney A. Lee Bentley said Tuesday that 58-year-old Susan Thompson faces a possible five-year prison sentence. Prosecutors say Thompson, who is white, placed an image of the flag on the desk of a co-worker with whom she’d had a contentious relationship at their Jacksonville, Fla. office for the Army Corps of Engineers. That was in June, one week after nine people were killed at a historically black church in Charleston, S.C.
TURKISH MEDIA SAID 11 migrants, including three children crossing the Aegean Sea to Greece, drowned after their boat capsized and seven others were rescued by the Turkish coast guard. The state-run Anadolu Agency said the Turkish coast guard spotted the refugees Tuesday during a routine patrol off the coast of southwest Aydin province. The Dogan News Agency said the seven survivors were Syrians and the boat was heading to the Greek island of Samos. DHA broadcast images of men, women and children waiting as rescuers continued to search for survivors.

Clallam inks one-year pact for public defense BY ROB OLLIKAINEN PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — Clallam County has extended a contract with Clallam Public Defender to provide legal defense to those who can’t afford an attorney. The three commissioners Tuesday unanimously approved a one-year agreement with the nonprofit firm that has been providing indigent defense in Clallam County for more than three decades. The $1.14 million modified contract is the same amount the county has budgeted for public defense in 2016. “I think this is a very fair agreement,” County Administrator Jim Jones told commissioners in a board work session Monday. The one-year deal, which was negotiated by Jones and Clallam Public Defender Director Harry Gasnick, accounts for the consolidation of misdemeanor law and justice services for the county and cities of Port Angeles and Sequim. “Harry’s office has agreed to pick up all the additional work that we are now responsible for in District Court,” Jones told the board. “And I think it’s a very
good extension.” The county’s existing three-year pact with Clallam Public Defender expires at the end of this year. “The parties recognized that the one-year idea was the best we could do given what the particular circumstances were,” Gasnick said in a Tuesday interview. “I would like to think that eventually, a more stable resolution will be accomplished.” Last fall, the county issued a request for proposals from indigent defense providers. Clallam Public Defender’s original bid was $1.19 million. Former Prosecuting Attorney William Payne proposed to cover District Court for $418,000. Payne withdrew his bid Dec. 14.
Lose money By agreeing to a $1.14 million contract, Clallam Public Defender will likely “lose money on this deal,” Jones said. Salaries for public defenders are tied to a state Supreme Court decision that established indigent defense standards and salaries that deputy prosecuting attorneys receive. “We’re looking for any

way we can to trim [Gasnick’s] costs, and yet this is a contract that we both believe can be moved forward for next year,” Jones said. Clallam County will allow Clallam Public Defender to use its document shredding system and online legal research service to reduce costs to the agency, Jones said. Next year, commissioners will decide whether to renew a long-term contract with Clallam Public Defender. “We are pleased that the county seems to want to take a comprehensive look at the public defense delivery system,” Gasnick said. “Hopefully, the county will be able to come up with a plan that will provide for greater stability.” Commissioner Mike Chapman thanked Gasnick in the work session for his cooperation. In other board action, commissioners Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution expanding the membership of the county Trust Lands Advisory Committee from 16 to a maximum of 20. Commissioners formed the committee at the request of the Charter Review Commission to examine state management of county trust lands.
PORT ANGELES — Clallam Transit’s governing board has approved a $9.9 million budget that projects a 1 percent increase in countywide sales tax collections. Board members voted 7-0 Monday to approve a 2016 operating and capital budget that brings in $395,000 more than it spends. The budget includes a 1.08 percent pay raise for Transit employees based on a regional consumer price index. No public comments were provided to the board in a Monday hearing on the budget. “I appreciate all the hard work that’s gone into this,” said Bryon Monohon, board chairman and Forks mayor,
after the unanimous vote. “This has been thoroughly, thoroughly vetted numerous times by everybody on this board and staff.” Transit General Manager Wendy Clark-Getzin and Finance Manager Melinda Smithson presented a proposed budget to the board in an all-day workshop Nov. 5. The final budget, which was largely unchanged since the workshop, shows $8.8 million in operating revenue compared with $8.4 million in operating expenses. Clallam Transit has about $2.6 million in operating reserves. Next year, Transit officials expect to collect more than $6.7 million in sales taxes. Sales tax is by far the largest source of revenue for the public transporta-
tion agency. Federal grants account for another $705,000 in budgeted revenue; cash fares and passes are expected to bring in $668,000. The van service will collect a projected $315,000 in 2016. On the expense side, Clallam Transit has committed $4.1 million to fixed route operations, $1.7 million to paratransit operations and $1.5 million to maintenance. Capital revenue and capital projects are each budgeted at $1.5 million next year. For information about Clallam Transit, click on www.clallamtransit.com or phone 360-452-4511.

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — Clallam County Commissioner Bill Peach has been picked to represent timber counties on the state Board of Natural Resources, he announced Tuesday. Peach, a retired forester from Forks, was chosen by commissioners in 22 t i m b e r counties to replace out- Peach going Clallam County Commissioner Jim McEntire on the sixmember state board. The influential Board of Natural Resources sets policies that guide how the state Department of Natural Resources manages its resources, including 92,500 acres of forest trust land in Clallam County. Peach said he will “get right into the saddle” in his added role. The Board of Natural Resources meets Jan. 5 and the first Tuesday of every month except August in Olympia. In Tuesday’s board meeting, Peach thanked fellow Commissioners Mike Chapman and Jim McEntire for endorsing him over co-finalist Dennis Weber of Cowlitz County in a letter they signed Dec. 15. “I appreciate personally you stepping forward,” McEntire told Peach. “It’s a really, really important board for Clallam County to be represented on.” Peach is the third Clallam County commissioner
to serve on the Board of Natural Resources, Chapman said. Each timber county had one vote for the county representative on the DNR board. County boards could vote as a unified group or submit fractionalized votes as individual commissioners. DNR officials referred all inquires about the Board of Natural Resources election to Laura Berg, state Association of Counties policy director. Berg was on vacation Tuesday and could not be reached for comment. A county association staffer said no one was available to speak about the election. Other members of the Board of Natural Resources are Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark; University of Washington School of Environmental and Forest Sciences Director Thomas DeLuca; state Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn; Ron Mittelhammer, dean of the Washington State University College of Agricultural, Human and Natural Resource Sciences; and J.T. Austin, Gov. Jay Inslee’s designee and policy adviser, according to DNR’s website.

Inmates walk past correctional officers at the Washington Corrections Center in Shelton in February 2011.
Over 3K state prisoners mistakenly freed early Inslee’s general counsel, Nicholas Brown, said most of the errors were 100 days or less. In some cases, inmates were released just a few days early, but at least one person who is still incarcerated had a release date that was off by about 600 days. Based on a prior Supreme Court ruling, most of the affected offenders won’t have to go back to prison. But officials have identified at least seven prisoners who were freed but haven’t reached their corrected release date yet, and they will need to return to prison. Five of them have already been re-incarcerated.
BY RACHEL LA CORTE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OLYMPIA — More than 3,000 prisoners in Washington have been mistakenly released early since 2002 because of an error by the state’s Department of Corrections that resulted in wrongly calculated sentences for about 3 percent of the prison population. At a news conference announcing the error Tuesday, Gov. Jay Inslee said he has ordered immediate steps to correct the longstanding computer glitch. “Frankly, it is maddening,” Inslee said.

Corrections Department Secretary Dan Pacholke, who took over as head of the agency in October and just learned of the error last week, also said he couldn’t yet explain what had happened. “How that did not rise up in the agency to the highest levels is not clear to me,” he said. Brown said officials don’t yet have a complete list of prisoners affected. The Corrections Department and governor’s office have not released the names of those inmates who have been sent back to prison, or the name of the family who alerted the agency to the problem. When asked if any of the prisoners who were released early committed additional crimes, Brown said, “We

Software fix planned A broad fix to the software problem is expected to be in place by early January. The governor said two retired federal prosecutors will conduct an independent investigation to figure out why it has taken so long to correct the problem. “I have a lot of questions about how and why this happened, and I understand that members of the public will have those same questions,” Inslee said. Pacholke said he welcomed the external investigation. “The agency should be held accountable for this breach,” he said. Republican state Sen. Mike Padden said the Law and Justice Committee he chairs will convene hearings on the early releases when the Legislature returns to the Capitol in early January. “We will see what we can find out about this and whether any of these individuals have committed crimes and what crimes they committed when they should have been in prison,” Padden said.

PT woman, 81, is hospitalized after collision BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT TOWNSEND — An 81-year-old Port Townsend woman was listed in serious condition at a Seattle hospital after a twovehicle wreck Tuesday afternoon. Gail Marioni was being admitted into the intensive care unit late Tuesday afternoon, said a spokeswoman for Harborview Medical Center. Marioni, driving a gold 2005 Honda Accord sedan westbound on Prospect Avenue, pulled left onto state Highway 19 into the path of a 1988 Ford Ranger pickup driven northbound at 12:38 p.m., the State Patrol said. The Honda was struck in the driver’s door by the Ford, driven by Brian Austin, 55, of Port Townsend. Marioni, who was traveling alone, was flown to Harborview with lower extremity fractures after she was extricated from her car, said Bill Beezley with East Jefferson Fire-Rescue. Austin complained of chest and shoulder pain and was evaluated by emergency personnel on scene before being discharged, Beezley said. Both lanes of state High-
Briefly . . . Highway 12 over White Pass reopens WHITE PASS — State transportation officials say U.S. 12 over White Pass had reopened in both directions as of 5 p.m. Tuesday. The highway was closed about two weeks ago after rain caused washouts and mudslides west and east of White Pass. The Department of Transportation said a traffic light will direct traffic through a single lane near the repairs areas east and west of the mountain pass. Semi-trucks are not allowed. White Pass Ski Area is scheduled to open today. Permanent road repairs are planned for the spring.
City Council seat SNOHOMISH, Wash. — Democratic state Rep. Hans Dunshee said he plans to seek a seat on the Snohomish County Council in 2016. The Daily Herald reported that the seat will be vacated by Democrat Dave Somers when he takes office as county executive later this month. The county Democratic Party will nominate three candidates to replace Somers. The County Council will then choose among the nominees. Snohomish Mayor Karen Guzak, planning commissioner Guy Palumbo and state Sen. Steve Hobbs of Lake Stevens are possible contenders. The Associated Press
Alternative 1 Under Alternative 1, the facilities — which would include an armory, offices and sleeping areas for 20 to 30 people — would be located within a quartermile inside the entrance gate to Coast Guard Air Station/Sector Field Office Port Angeles. Pier space would be built for up to seven vessels, ranging from 33 feet to 250 feet, that would comprise the Transit Protection System. The ships would dock at the facility to provide a forward staging location for escort vessels and Coast Guard crews who “routinely exceed their underway hour limits, often for multiple days,” which puts them out of compliance with Coast Guard requirements, according to the environ-
way 19 — also known as Airport Cutoff Road — were closed for about 2½ hours. The road reopened at 3:15 p.m., according to the state Department of Transportation. A citation for failure to yield is pending against Marioni, the State Patrol said. “At this point, the charge and fault is still under investigation, but fail to yield on the Honda is likely if there are no other contributing circumstances found with the Ford,” Winger said. Both drivers were wearing seat belts and drugs or alcohol were not involved, the State Patrol said. Both cars were destroyed, the State Patrol said.
There are four alternatives, three of which are in the area of the Coast Guard station and one of which is a no-action plan. Preferred Alternative 1 would extend into state Department of Natural Resources’ aquatic lease lands leased by Icicle Seafoods for floating fish pens. Alternative 2 would be located on a jetty east of the entrance gate and cost $30.7 million. Building it there would cut off access to a popular scuba-diving site known as the rock pile, which is not a designated recreation site. “Other diving opportunities are present in the general area,” according to the environmental assessment. Alternative 3 would be at the east end of the Coast Guard station near an abandoned runway and cost $33.6 million.
“At the end of NEPA, we will determine which alternative is the most appropriate and how to limit the impacts of that decision,” Haley said. The assessment does not address the impacts of vessel movement activities but does examine activities while ships are moored there.
Restrictions Kayakers and other recreational boaters who navigate along the south shore of the Hook would be restricted from entering the Naval Protection Zone while vessels are moored or around the Transit Protection System pier. Though the aquatic area open to public use would be reduced, “this would not result in the loss of any designated recreation area or park, and would not be a significant impact on recreation,” according to the assessment. In addition, small nonmotorized watercraft such as kayaks and canoes that ply close to shore on the south side of the Hook would be temporarily banned from entering the in-water construction area.

to the assessment. Under Alternative 1, it would last up to four hours a day for up to 75 days over 18 weeks and would be conducted during daylight hours. The nearby Puget Sound Pilots Station would be most affected by Alternatives 1 and 2. Under Alternative 2, pile driving would occur 15 days over five weeks 350 feet west of the Pilots Station. Under Alternative 2, “earplugs could be used to reduce noise during pile driving,” according to the assessment.

2014: $271,981. With heavy demand again this year, the carefully rationed fund is being depleted rapidly. Since Jan. 1, the Home Fund has helped nearly 2,700 individuals and households, many with children. As of Nov. 15, approximately $205,000 has been spent for Home Fund grants. And as we move into winter, the toughest period of the year, most all of the remaining money — $75,000 — is expected to be spent before Dec. 31. To apply for a Peninsula Home Fund grant, contact one of the three OlyCAP offices: ■ Its Port Angeles office is at 228 W. First St., Suite J (Armory Square Mall); 360-452-4726. For Port Angeles and Sequim area residents. ■ Its Port Townsend office is at 823 Commerce Loop; 360-385-2571. For Jefferson County residents. ■ The Forks office is at 421 Fifth Ave.; 360-3746193. For West End residents. Leave a message in the voice mail box at any of the three numbers, and a Home Fund caseworker will phone you back. OlyCAP’s website is www.olycap.org; email is action@olycap.org.

This was the impetus for a pulp empire that has sold under a million copies of my books this year alone within the greater Oil City metropolitan area. Mama was always very proud of her Sonny upholding the highest journalistic principles as the nation’s only wilderness gossip columnist with truth, compassion and stuff. So it hurt my feelings when she asked me if I had really
caught that big steelhead right before the fly fisherman did in last week’s column, “Revenge Of The Fly Fisherman.” That hurt. It reminded me of my childhood. I was playing Indians by shooting arrows at myself. If you wonder how you could shoot arrows at yourself, you probably didn’t grow up in the country. All you had to do was to shoot the arrow up into the sky and dodge it when it came back down. If you moved, everybody yelled, “Chicken!” If you didn’t move, everybody yelled, “Indians!” One day, I hooked a lame shot and the arrow went way up and came back down like they always did and stuck into the ground right next to the laundry basket Mama was packing.
Everybody yelled, “Indians!” Mama did not believe it was Indians. She didn’t believe I caught that big steelhead, either. She said I should be nicer to the fly fisherman and wondered if I’d gone soft on the government or something. I had to explain how I love fly fishers. I told her how I was going to be a fly-fishing guide. No more rowing my guts out on the river from dawn to dark. From now on, I’ll just park along the riverbank next to a cheery blaze with a pot of coffee and yell at the dudes casting up into the tree limbs that the fish aren’t up there until the water gets higher. As far as catching that 30-pound steelhead goes, well, I’m not saying that Mama’s getting on, but I had to explain that as a fishing guide, weighing the

fish is part of the service that I offer my customers out of the goodness of my heart. Weighing a fish is always tough when you can’t see it. For example, I love it when we are fishing king salmon and someone says, “I’m snagged up.” Then the snag begins to move. It’s like hooking a steelhead and the angler, feeling no resistance, says, “It’s a small one.” Then the line streaks by, erupting upstream with a 3-foot fish at the end of it. Often, it is a challenge to weigh the fish before the unlucky angler can lose it. If we have to measure the fish before making a confirmed visual contact, that’s what makes a fishing guide worth every penny. To weigh a fish you can’t see, we simply calculate the arc of the rod with the speed of the current and the blood-alcohol level of the

Fatal intersection? I have been touched by two fatalities near the junction of state Highway 112 and Elwha River Road on Sept. 11, 2011, and Sept. 29 of this year.

affecting the weather is spoken of so many times that people start to believe it. I believe human activity is so miniscule in affecting weather patterns as in heating or cooling when compared to the forces on the Earth’s surface, it’s laughable to suggest we could have any influence even if we tried. If there’s any human effect on the weather, it’s what our own government does in geo-engineering, with the deployment of chemtrails. Yes, there is pollution, but that affects our own health, not climate change. There’s no science or fact that supports humans taking drastic measure to avoid some future calamity. Attention should be put on reducing real pollution, not the made-up stuff that is being put out there. Larry Winters, Sequim
Essays for your reading pleasure IT IS TIME once again for the Sidney Awards, when I pick out some of the best long-form essays that you might download for your holiday reading pleasure. This batch, given for some David of the year’s best long-form Brooks essays, congregate, coincidentally, around a theme: the excessive individualism of American society, and the ways human beings try to create community for good or ill. The first winner is Sebastian Junger’s piece “How PTSD Became a Problem Far Beyond the Battlefield,” from Vanity Fair. Junger starts by stating the American military has the highest post-traumatic stress disorder rate in its history, and probably the world. But then he notes there is no statistical relationship between suicide and combat. Vets who worked far from the violence are just as likely to commit suicide. Over the decades, combat deaths have dropped while PTSD rates have risen.
The Israeli army, which sees a lot of trauma, has a rate as low as 1 percent. Junger concludes, “The problem doesn’t seem to be trauma on the battlefield so much as reentry into society.” People in military service are surrounded by close comradeship. When they are thrust back into American society they are often isolated. The problem is with our lack of community back home. For centuries, Americans have been reading the hyper-individualistic purity of Henry David Thoreau’s life on Walden Pond — the way he cut himself off from crass commercialism and lived on a pure spiritual plane. Writing in The New Yorker, Kathryn Schulz points out in “Pond Scum” that Thoreau was a misanthropic, arrogant, self-righteous prig. He was coldhearted in the face of others’ suffering. Highly ascetic, he sustained the shallow American tendency to equate eating habits with moral health.

series of pieces for The New Yorker, describing how community cultures influence our decision-making in ways we are unaware. His piece “The Engineer’s Lament” describes how engineers think. He retells an old joke about an engineer, a priest and a doctor who are playing golf but are held up by a slow foursome ahead of them who turn out to be blind firefighters. “I will say a prayer for them tonight,” the priest says. “Let me ask my ophthalmologist colleagues if anything can be done for them,” the doctor says. The engineer says, “Why can’t they play at night?” Gladwell’s piece “Thresholds of Violence” describes how school shootings are in some ways like riots, complex dialogues of violence between far-flung killers. In his piece “Starting Over,” he notes that many of the people who left New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina for places like Houston did better than those who returned. That’s because one of the ways to stack the deck against your own social mobility is to live in a community with a transgenerational history of poverty. The people who left broke that pattern. The general conclusion is that
people need community to live, but some communities nurture mobility better than others and sometimes it is necessary leave one community for another. Writing in The National Interest, Henry Olsen has an utterly convincing essay, “A New Homestead Act,” that asserts that for the past several decades American antipoverty policies have retarded this movement and entrenched poverty. During the Depression, the unemployed moved, often to California. But that’s hard to do now. As Olsen writes: “Most welfare-state programs are awarded by states and localities. More crucially, their receipt is often tied to or complicated by continued residence in those places.” Anyone who wanted to move to a city with more opportunity would be putting his or her benefits at risk. Republican efforts to throw everything back to states and localities might make these perverse incentives worse. So communities can be good or bad. The worst community on earth is probably ISIS. One of the most important essays this year was Graeme Wood’s “What ISIS Really Wants,” in The Atlantic. Wood demonstrates, among other things, how theologically

rigorous ISIS is. Young men flock to this caliphate wannabe precisely because they want to be embraced in the tight legal strictures ISIS commands. Subtly communities can fall apart. There were many fine pieces this year about sex on campus. One factor is that old community norms governing decent behavior have fallen away and new ones have not yet come into being. Writing “The Meaning of Sex” in The Weekly Standard, the anthropologist Peter Wood describes the damage done when natural and social constructs like virginity, fatherhood, intimacy and romance are done away with or watered down. The result can be a sort of high-class savagery leading to brutal pain and victimization. This has been a great year for long-form journalism. I’d especially like to thank Robert Cottrell, of the great website the Browser, and Robert Atwan, who runs the Best American Essays series, for directing me to several of this year’s Sidney winners.

Biggest stories of 2015
PA’s rally not enough Riders can’t dig out of early hole BY LEE HORTON
OFTEN IGNORED BY golf’s decision makers, the Pacific Northwest stood tall in 2015, playing host to the 115th U.S. Open, the first national championship held in the region. When the Michael Super Bowl of golf comes to Carman town, other stories tend to seem small in comparison. But the past year still yielded plenty of major golf stories on the North Olympic Peninsula and throughout the world.
Black, Mitro bow out March saw the beginning of the end for two long-time North Olympic Peninsula high school golf coaches. Port Angeles’ Mark Mitrovich and Chimacum’s Mitch Black oversaw the first practices of their final seasons in charge of their respective programs. The season was Black’s 39th as coach of the Cowboys and Mitrovich’s 30th season guiding the Roughriders. The pair left a legacy of success at each school and generations of vastly improved golfers and citizens. My story on their departures is found at tinyurl.com/PDN-coachingduo.
Spieth is masterful Jordan Spieth was fitted for the first of what could be many green jackets after his coming-out party at the 2015 Masters. Spieth led after each round, recorded the most birdies in Masters history with 26 and tied Tiger Woods’ scoring record of 18-underpar for the tournament. Flat-out domination by the Texas native.

PORT ANGELES — Port Angeles bounced back from an awful first quarter but couldn’t completely overcome it in a 46-42 loss to Archbishop Murphy in nonleague boys basketball action. The Wildcats held a convincing 14-3 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Roughriders, though, weren’t quite convinced. They got back five of the points in the second quarter and two more in the third to set up an exciting final period Monday at Port Angeles High School. “We struggled to make shots in the first quarter, along with turning the ball over, and we fell behind early,” Riders coach Kasey Ulin said. “We came out much more aggressive and executed better in the second and third quarters. It was a one-, two-possession game throughout the second half, but we never were able to get the lead.”
Rogers produces Lambros Rogers recorded another double-double for the Port Angeles, scoring 16 points and pulling down 13 rebounds. Noah McGoff finished with 10 points and made seven steals. “Lambros played fundamental basketball, and when you apply that with his athletic ability, he is tough,” Ulin said. “I thought Noah played well also. He does a lot of things that don’t always show up in the stat line . . . he is always in the right place, grabbing loose balls and rebounds.” Luke Angevine added nine points for the Riders. Archbishop Murphy (3-4)

Shea claimed the area’s best individual boys finish, 10th, at the 2A state tournament.

Seahawks say they don’t plan to let up BY GREGG BELL MCCLATCHY NEWS SERVICE
RENTON —They were once 2-4 and in disarray. Their offense couldn’t keep Russell Wilson from getting sacked. Their defense couldn’t keep leads in the fourth quarter. Now, five consecutive wins and seven victories out of eight games later, Wilson’s on one of the most prolific stretches of passing the league has ever seen, and the Seattle Seahawks (9-5) are back on their customary late-season roll that’s pro-
pelled them into the last two Super Bowls. How proud is Wilson of this turnaround season in particular? “We haven’t done anything yet, in all honesty,” the quarterback said this week. That was a day after he became the first player in NFL history to throw for at least three touchdowns with no interceptions in five consecutive games in the 30-13 victory against Cleveland. Wilson has 19 touchdown passes and zero interceptions
during Seattle’s fivegame winning streak. “I think ultimately Next Game the biggest Sunday goal you vs. Rams want to have in at CenturyLink going to any Time: 1:25 p.m. sports sea- On TV: Ch. 13 son, playing baseball, basketball, football, you want to be playing your best ball late,” Wilson said.
He’s 15-2 in his career in December. Yeah, that’s best-ball stuff. The Seahawks have clinched their fourth consecutive postseason appearance, their fifth in six years. They can’t win the NFC West; Arizona has clinched the division title, ending their two-year reign. They are very close to securing the fifth seed in the NFC’s playoffs, the first wild card. That would lock them into a firstround game at the NFC East division winner on Jan. 9 or 10. TURN

Lynette Haney, right, took the bronze. Rego and Allen both train at Bodystrong Taekwon-do in Sequim. Most tournaments are reserved four fourth dan and below, but this tournament was open to all non-Master competitors. Once someone has achieved black belt, they have the opportunity to test to higher levels of black belt, which are called dan levels. Seventh dan is a master, and ninth dan is the highest rank, Grand Master. At this tournament, red belts competed against black belts. The color belt competition went ahead as usual, along with the black belt tournament, which included one sixth dan from Colorado and Bodystrong instructor Brandon Stoppani, a sixth dan. There were also first, second, third and fourth dan competitors from Washington and Oregon. All Bodystrong competitors received medals: Stoppani, age 47, won a sparring gold and a breaking gold; Allen, 53, earned a breaking silver in addition to her sparring silver; Rego, 13, added a patterns gold to her sparring gold; and, in the color belt category, 7-year-old Payton Williamson earned silver in sparring and in patterns.

BREMERTON — The Sequim boys wrestling team continued to show improvement after earning a ninth-place finish out of 40 teams from multiple classifications at the Kitsap Peninsula Hammerhead Invitational. In the girls competition at the Hammerhead, which took place Friday and Saturday, Sequim placed ninth out of 31 teams, and Port Townsend’s Chloe Rogers won the 140-pound title Michael Latimer had the Sequim boys’ top finish, earning a fourth-place medal by going 5-2 in the 220-pound classification. “Michael Latimer was our only medalist, but many boys contributed to our best finish as a team at this tournament,” Wolves coach Charles Drabek said. Sequim also received a strong performance from Grant Pierson. Pierson finished 4-2 at the tournament, falling in his opening match before rattling off four straight pins to reach the consolation semifinals. Kevyn Ward picked up wins by pin and technical fall to reach the 160-pound quarterfinals. He finished 3-2 at the tournament. Others with 3-2 records for the event were Craig Baker at 138 pounds, Hayden Gresli at 145 pounds and Adrian Klarich at 195 pounds. Cody McClain was Port
“Right now for her, she is looking at a state title,” Grimm said. “In order to keep getting better and to reach her goal, we need to find her the toughest competition possible.” Brenna Franklin finished fifth for the Redhawks at 170 pounds to help them girls take 14th. Sequim’s Kiara Pierson earned three wins by pin before being pinned late in her 115-pound championship match with SedroWoolley’s Teracita Shane. Aylee Bennett started strong, winning her first two matches, before falling to a fifth-place finish.

Townsend’s only boy wrestler advance to the second day of competition. He won two matches by pin to advance to the 285pound quarterfinals, where he fell in a 16-6 major decision to eventual champ Nico Ramirez of North Mason. McClain rebounded for a win by pin, but lost in a 9-4 decision to Tahoma’s Chase Mulcahey. “Cody wrestled at a high level,” Grimm said. “He was in every match, and if a few things went his way he could have been the champion.

LYNDEN — The Wolves dropped their fourth straight game, all of which have come during a busy span of six days. Monday’s loss came against one of the top teams in Class 2A. The undefeated Lions (6-0) are ranked third in the latest Washington Interscholastic Basketball Coaches Association poll. Lynden held the Wolves scoreless in the first quarter and didn’t allow them to score more than seven points in any of the subsequent quarters. Payton Glasser led Sequim with seven points. The Lions had a balanced attack, led by Christian Zamora’s 12 points and Jordan Wittenberg’s 10.

Seattle Mariners hire female scout THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners have hired Amanda Hopkins as an area scout, and the team says she is believed to be the first woman hired as a full-time scout by a major league club since the 1950s. The Mariners announced
the move this week amid a flurry of changes in their scouting department. Hopkins, who will cover Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah, spent the past three seasons working as an intern in Seattle’s amateur scouting department and is a recent graduate of the Major League
Baseball developmental program. Hopkins graduated in June from Central Washington University, where she played softball for the Wildcats. She is the daughter of Ron Hopkins, who was a baseball scout for more than 30 years.

Hospital participates in 1st cohort PORT ANGELES — Olympic Medical Center was selected to participate in the first cohort to implement Honoring Choices Pacific Northwest, a program to facilitate conversations about advance care planning. The cohort launched in October. The program includes guidance and tools to discuss and plan for a person’s future health care decisions so those wishes will be honored. It uses Gundersen Health’s Respecting Choices First Steps curriculum, an internationally recognized program in advance care planning that is used in more than 120 medical systems across the country and around the globe. Honoring Choices Pacific Northwest is an initiative of the Washington State Hospital Association and the Washington State Medical Association with the goal to promote advance care planning by increasing awareness and providing training and resources.

Ford recalls cars DEARBORN, Mich. — Ford is recalling about 313,000 older large cars in North America because the headlights can go dark and cause a crash.

It came after U.S. safety regulators opened an investigation into the problem that found 15 crashes and one injury. The company said sol-

TEST-DRIVES der joints in the lighting control module can crack and cut off power to the headlights. The cars were built from Oct. 3, 2001, through Aug. 2, 2005. Dealers will replace the lighting control module at no cost to owners. Owners will be notified about the recall starting the week of Jan. 18. Those with headlight problems should contact their dealer. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began investigating in August after receiving a petition seeking a probe from the North Carolina Consumers Council. Investigators found 3,609 complaints to NHTSA and Ford. Most of those complaining said their headlights failed suddenly. One driver ran off the road due to a lack of headlights, while another reported hitting a deer. Ford said it reviewed the problem with NHTSA on Dec. 7 and decided a recall was needed.

Gift guide: The season for weird and wacky tech gifts BY BREE FOWLER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Whether you’re shopping for a Trekkie, a tech-savvy fisherman or a paranoid chef, gadget gifts abound this year. They may be weird or wacky, but they are sure to be memorable as last-minute gifts for the geek who has everything. ■ FOODSNIFFER ($130): ‘Tis the season for overeating, leftovers and food poisoning. Got friends who like to shove meat to the back of the fridge only to find it a little past its “use by” date? The Foodsniffer may be the gift you’re looking for. The device will “sniff” your slightly funky chicken, beef, pork or fish. It senses certain volatile organic compounds that are emitted when food starts to decompose.

Through a smartphone app, you see whether the meal is fresh, starting to spoil or spoiled. The device won’t detect the presence of gastroenteritis from bacteria such as salmonella or E. coli, so make sure you cook your food sufficiently, even if it’s deemed fresh. ■ HAN SOLO FRIDGE ($160): Nothing says chill like Han Solo frozen in carbonite. This mini fridge’s front door features a 3-D rendering of a frosty Han and holds 18 canned beverages. The fridge can switch between cold and warm modes, but sadly, a dreamy 1980s Harrison Ford doesn’t collapse at your feet when you switch the heat on. The fridge door does, however, give off the same eerie red glow that appeared when Princess Leia thawed him out in “Return of the Jedi.” Want something more contemporary? ThinkGeek also sells a tiny $70 mini fridge that holds just a sixpack. It looks like the BB-8 droid from the new “Star Wars” movie. ■ “STAR TREK” PHASER UNIVERSAL REMOTE REPLICA ($150): “Star Wars” is all the rage now, with hundreds of products tied to the new
movie. But Trekkies need their toys, too. For the Captain Kirk in your life, this universal remote has been recreated with 3-D scans of Star Trek props. You operate this remote using motion rather than buttons. It combines the small mini phaser and the larger pistol-shaped phaser models used as weapons on “Star Trek.” The smaller one can be used separately or inserted into the larger phaser, which has a pistol-grip base. Beam strengths can be customized, and the remote makes a variety of phaser firing sounds. A metal stand with a hidden magnet is included, making the phaser easy to grab if your home is overrun by Tribbles, or you just need to change the channel. ■ IBOBBER ($100): Hooking Moby Dick is easier when you’ve got portable sonar on your side. The iBobber fish finder attaches to your fishing line and floats on the surface of the water. Once you cast it, the iBobber can show you where fish are and how big they are. It also maps the floor of the waterbed, letting you know how deep the water is and pointing out obstacles, as
Diana came to Crestwood post surgically for removal of a left frontal lobe brain tumor. She was experiencing progressive weakness and confusion, along with word finding difficulties when she was hospitalized. She arrived with weakness specifically on the side of her body; she was unable to write or tie her shoes as she once had. Within days, Diane was able to maneuver in her wheel chair around the facility, always smiling and willing to work with her occupational, speech and physical therapists. She eventually graduated to using a rolling walker, improvising her balance and endurance in standing to complete valued tasks such as jamming with her husband, Ron, as he would frequently bring in their music book and play Bluegrass tunes. They have spent many years together attending Bluegrass festivals and it was evident that as Diane progressed in her therapy, she was able to easier engage in playing her baritone ukulele or guitar as Ron strummed his mandolin by her side, both singing to their hearts content, bringing smiles and tapping toes to those who stopped to listen. Within a few weeks, Diane progressed to walking without an assistive device and was found many times in occupational therapy doing the “electric slide,” confidently completing the grapevine with ease. By the end of her time at Crestwood, she easily was able to care for herself, completing her basic routine with independence, accessing medical appointments with her husband and socializing within the facility with ease. We wish her the best of luck and will miss her!!

Even better, this drone can act as a remote-controlled wingman for those looking for a holiday smooch. The mistletoe drone hovers with a pair of counterrotating rotors. An infrared remote provides throttle and directional control. For a big party, up to 20 of these drones can be flown independently without radio interference problems. The drone’s rechargeable battery provides up to five minutes of flight and takes 30 minutes to charge through its remote. When controlling it, just make sure the drone ends up over the right person. A mistake can be disastrous.

DEAR ABBY: I found out a few months ago that my husband, “Hal,” the father of my children, has had affairs with five different women. I left, and we are now being divorced. I desperately wanted revenge, so I have been secretly seeing Hal’s good friend “Ron,” whom he “forbade” me from contacting after I told him his infidelity and disrespect gave me permission to act on the attraction I had for Ron. It’s just a friends-with-benefits situation and I am having fun, so I don’t really consider it to be revenge. Hal has spent the past five months begging me to forgive him and work on our marriage, but I no longer love him and I certainly don’t trust him. I told him I would “work on” forgiving him, so now he calls, says he still loves me and flirts. The last woman Hal cheated on me with is his current girlfriend. He told me that if I ever want to hook up, I should make sure to use code words when leaving messages because she might see my calls and text messages. He also told me that he is not interested in a long-term relationship with her. I slept with Hal recently to have leverage. I was contemplating sending her the proof as payback for how she treated me some months back, although I don’t want her boyfriend back. I am now questioning if this is the right thing to do. Should I just leave it alone? Payback Somewhere in the USA

DEAR ABBY was dragging her away. Van Buren For the first five years after our children were born, we didn’t get out much. My wife is now starting to go out with friends from work — a mixed group of single and married guys and gals. She has invited me to come along, but sitters are expensive, and I’m not friendly with her co-workers. She stays out with them until 3 to 4 a.m. once a month. I think that’s ridiculously late when you have a husband and children at home. When she’s not here, I can’t sleep and I worry that something is wrong. She rarely calls to check in unless I ask her to. Overall I trust her, but with her drinking heavily and many single guys around, I don’t feel comfortable with the situation. I don’t know what to do. Lonely Dad in Arizona
Abigail
Dear Lonely Dad: I have it on good authority that last call for serving alcohol in Arizona is 2 a.m. Could your wife be drinking so heavily that she needs the time to sober up in order to drive home? If that’s the case, she may be a binge drinker, which isn’t healthy. The implications of your letter are serious, so you should sit down with her and have a discussion about the amount she imbibes on her nights out. You shouldn’t have to worry about her, so out of respect for your feelings, she should routinely let you know how long she’ll be after the bars/clubs close.
Dear Payback: Yes, do it for everyone’s sake — including your own. This cycle of revenge is doing no one any good.
