A rainstorm dropped more than 3 inches of rain in Port Angeles and more than 2 inches on Forks in a 24-hour period ending Wednesday morning. Rising Elwha River water flooded portions of Olympic Hot Springs Road and the Elwha Campground on Wednesday, while water crossed several Clallam County roads from minor flooding of the Bogachiel, Elwha and Dungeness rivers, officials said. “All in all, it was fairly minor,” said Brian King, chief criminal

PORT ANGELES — An 18-hole disc golf course will open next year on the Miller Peninsula east of Sequim Bay. Clallam County commissioners Tuesday approved the rezone of 40 acres of county-owned land from rural low to parks and recreation — a necessary step to construct a disc golf course in the east county. The facility will be on Thompson Road near Old Blyn Highway about 9 miles east of Sequim and 2 miles from the Jefferson County line. “This is yet another star in the

Cruelty charges dropped in Sequim case Accused man found not fit for trial BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

SEQUIM — Animal cruelty and trespassing charges against a Sequim man have been dropped because he was found unfit to stand trial. John Dashti — age 60, according to court documents — had been charged with two counts of animal cruelty in the second degree, both misdemeanors. Livestock in his care were confiscated from his home at Serenity Lane and Otter Way southwest of Sequim in late June. Dashti was charged July 31. He pleaded not guilty.

In a separate case, he was charged with two counts of criminal trespass in the second degree, also misdemeanors. Deputies said he was squatting on private property after he was evicted. In late October, Dashti was ordered to undergo a mental evaluation before a trial date would be considered. He was incarcerated at the time. He has since been released. In November, he was deemed incompetent to stand trial by an evaluator based at Western State Hospital in Lakewood — one of two state hospitals that provide mental evaluations for those in

And although Dashti has been “deemed incompetent for prosecution purposes, that does not allow him to violate the law,” NelsonGross noted. She said the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office is monitoring the situation. Dashti has said he is now living in Sequim. In late June, law enforcement officials confiscated nearly all of Dashti’s livestock — two donkeys, two sheep, two pigs, a dog, 12 rabbits, various chickens and about 50 quail.

Individual SAG nods fall short on diversity ENSEMBLE NOMINATIONS FOR the Screen Actors Guild Awards highlight diversity in both film and television, including nods for “Beasts of No Nation,” “Straight Outta Compton” and “Orange is the New Black.” Yet individual nominations, especially for movies, remained largely white — only adding to concerns this will be yet another monochromatic awards season. Idris Elba was nominated for best supporting actor in the child soldier drama “Beasts of No Nation” and is the sole individual minority nominee in the movie categories of the 22nd annual SAG nominations announced Wednesday. Elba said in a statement that he was “floored” and “humbled” by the recognition. “It goes without saying that my performance is shared with the tremendous actors I work with,” wrote Elba, congratulating his “Beasts” co-stars Abraham Attah and Kurt Egyiawan as well. Elba was also nominated for his leading role in TV’s “Luther.” Hollywood’s lack of diversity has become of critical concern following last Oscar’s allwhite acting slate. But while the predominantly black casts of both “Beasts” and “Straight Outta Compton” were recognized for their ensemble work, alongside “Trumbo,” “Spotlight” and “The Big Short,” individual acting nominations in most film categories exhibited a striking lack of diversity.

Idris Elba attends the “Luther” screening at The Django at Roxy Hotel on Dec. 2 in New York. Today’s Golden Globe nominations could bring more attention to the issue. Overall, there were more diverse individual nominees in television than film, thanks in part to the fact that TV divides nominees into comedy and drama, which provides more inclusion. In addition to Elba’s nod, other TV nominees included Queen Latifah for “Bessie,” Uzo Aduba for “Orange is the New Black” and Viola Davis for “How to Get Away With Murder.”

Mr. Brooks’ best-known role was as scientist Dr. Rudy Wells on the 1970s series “The Six Million Dollar Man” and its spinoff, “The Bionic Woman.” The role of Wells had previously been played in the original series by Alan Oppenheimer. Mr. Brooks’ other credits included “The Philco Television Playhouse” in the 1950s, “Combat!” in the 1960s and “Knots Landing” in the 1990s.

A3 Briefly: Nation FBI: Shooters were radicalized two years ago WASHINGTON — The two San Bernardino shooters were radicalized at least two years ago, well before one of them came to the U.S. on a fiancée visa, FBI Director James Comey said Wednesday. Comey said the couple discussed jihad and martyrdom as early as 2013. Comey’s comments to the Senate Judiciary Comey Committee were the most specific to date on the path toward extremism that Syed Rizwan Farook took with his wife, Tashfeen Malik. Comey said the two embraced radical Islamic ideology even before they began their online relationship and that Malik held extremist views before she arrived in the U.S. last year.

Colorado shooter COLORADO SPRINGS — Robert L. Dear Jr., 57, was charged with 179 counts Wednesday, including firstdegree murder, in connection with the deadly shooting rampage last month at a Planned Parenthood clinic. Bearded, unkempt and cuffed at the legs and arms, Dear frequently disrupted the proceedings in state court, shouting out declarations of anger and defiance. “I’m guilty. There’s no trial. I’m a warrior for the babies,” he

yelled at one point. “Let it all come out. The truth!” he yelled at another. As Judge Gilbert A. Martinez discussed a pretrial publicity order, Dear shouted: “Could you add the babies that were supposed to be aborted that day? Could you add that to the list?” It was the first in-person appearance in court for Dear since his arrest Nov. 27 after the attack on the clinic, which left three people dead and nine wounded. He was arrested by the police after a tense, hourslong, nationally televised standoff.

Officer testifies BALTIMORE — Officer William Porter was poised and calm as he testified in his own defense Wednesday, telling jurors that he didn’t call an ambulance for Freddie Gray because the man was alert, appeared uninjured and didn’t complain of any pain or wounds in the back of a police van. Instead, Gray only said “yes” when Porter offered to get him medical aid, the officer testified. Porter said he did tell his colleague, the van driver, to take Gray to the hospital after the man said he needed medical attention. Porter, a patrolman, responded to calls for assistance at some of the van stops. During the fourth stop, Porter went inside the back of the van and lifted Gray, who was handcuffed and shackled, from the floor onto the bench. The fourth stop is crucial in Porter’s case because prosecutors say Gray was already injured by the time he arrived there, and Porter’s failure to call a medic to the scene contributed to Gray’s death.

Education law rewrite passes Congress votes BY JENNIFER C. KERR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Those federally mandated math and reading tests will continue, but a sweeping rewrite of the nation’s education law will now give states — not the U.S. government — authority to decide how to use the results in evaluating teachers and schools.

Senate voted 85-12 The Senate on Wednesday voted overwhelmingly, 85-12, to approve legislation rewriting the landmark No Child Left Behind education law of 2002. On Thursday, President Barack Obama will sign it into law. One key feature of No Child remains: Public school students will still take the federally required statewide reading and math exams. But the new law encourages

states to limit the time students spend on testing, and it will diminish the high stakes for underperforming schools. Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, who leads the Senate Education Committee, called the legislation a “Christmas present” for 50 million children across the country. Alexander was a chief author of the bill along with Democratic Sen. Patty Murray of Washington — and in the House, Education Committee Chairman John Kline, R-Minn., and ranking Democrat Bobby Scott of Virginia.

Serve kids better “You’ll see states taking the opportunity to serve kids better, meaning it’s not just a conversation about labeling schools but also a conversation about when a school’s not doing right by kids,” said Chris Minnich, executive director of the Council of Chief

State School Officers. The new law will give states flexibility to focus on additional measures such as graduation rates, Minnich said in an interview. There are risks that states might set goals too low or not act quickly enough, said Daria Hall, vice president for government affairs and communication at the Education Trust.

Risks are also opportunities But she also said, “Those risks are also really opportunities for states to really step up to the plate and be leaders.” Three presidential candidates missed the Senate vote — Republicans Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida and Vermont Independent Bernie Sanders. Cruz said the legislation doesn’t go far enough to get the federal government out of the nation’s schools.

Official: U.S. willing to do more to help Iraqis retake Ramadi BY DEB RIECHMANN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — In a steady escalation of the fight against Islamic State group militants, the U.S. military stands ready to send more American personnel and attack helicopters to Iraq, especially to help retake a key city seized by the extremists, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Wednesday. In recent days, Iraqi forces advanced on Ramadi, the provincial capital of Anbar province, retaking a military operations center and a neighborhood on the outskirts of the city in western Iraq.

Quick Read

“The United States is prepared to assist the Iraqi army with additional unique capabilities to help them finish the job, including attack helicopters and accompanying advisers” if circumstances dictate the extra assistance, and if requested by Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, Carter told the Senate Armed Services Committee. Carter outlined the steps as the Obama administration faces criticism from both Republicans and Democrats about its strategy to defeat the IS militants, reflecting a nation’s growing fears about the threat of terrorism.

It was the first time that Carter has testified before the committee since the extremists claimed responsibility for bombing a Russian airliner, attacks in Beirut and Paris, and the deadly shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., by a self-radicalized couple. Carter said that during the past several months, the U.S.-led coalition fighting IS in Iraq and Syria has provided specialized training and equipment, including combat engineering assistance such as bulldozing, and munitions such as AT-4 shoulder-fired missiles to stop truck bombs, to the Iraqi army and counter-terrorism service units.

World: Australia’s Abbott defends Islam comments

ALASKA GOV. BILL Walker has proposed instituting a personal income tax for the first time in 35 years as the oil-dependent state looks to plug a multibillion-dollar budget deficit amid chronically low prices. In laying out his budget plan Wednesday, Walker also proposed using the fund that provides annual checks to most Alaskans to generate a stream of cash to help finance state government. The plan would change how dividends are calculated and mean lower checks, at least initially — 2016 payouts would be about $1,000 less than this year’s.

TOP MISSOURI HIGHWAY Patrol commanders and Ferguson, Mo., police returned to the scene of sometimes violent protests after Michael Brown’s shooting death — not to make widespread arrests or to deploy tear gas, but to help an anonymous benefactor spread some unexpected holiday cheer. The secret Santa is a Kansas City businessman who hands out $100 bills to the needy. The donor said he chose Ferguson for the holiday cash giveaway to help the community recover after the August 2014 fatal shooting of Brown, who was black, by former Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, who is white.

LIBERTY UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT Jerry Falwell Jr. told students Friday at the Christian school they could bring concealed weapons into their dorms, ending a “gun-free” zone on campus. The announcement followed his encouragement Friday that students and other members of the campus community seek permits to carry concealed weapons to counter any possible armed assault on the campus. “Let’s teach them a lesson if they ever show up here,” Falwell told a convocation crowd of thousands. Falwell said the recommendation followed the mass shooting days earlier in San Bernardino, Calif.

FORMER AUSTRALIAN PRIME Minister Tony Abbott on Wednesday defended his comments suggesting that Western culture is superior to that of Islam, and called for U.S.-led assistance in defeating the Islamic State group. In a Sydney Daily Telegraph opinion piece published earlier in the day, Abbott, a staunch Catholic and former student priest, wrote of a need to “modernize” Islam, saying it propagates a culture that is inferior to that of the West. Critics associated his comments with those of U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who has proposed a controversial ban on all Muslim visitors to the U.S.

Golf: Course CONTINUED FROM A1 Disc golf is played by throwing a flying disc at a series of metal baskets, or holes. Like in regular golf, the objective is to complete the course in the fewest number of attempts.

Second public course The only other public disc golf course on the North Olympic Peninsula is at Lincoln Park in Port Angeles. Smaller private courses are in Carlsborg and Chimacum. “The course at Lincoln Park here in Port Angeles just continues to get used more and more,” Commissioner Mike Chapman said at the hearing. “So this will be a nice second course.” Clallam County officials have been trying to open a disc golf course for well over a decade. Proponents of the sport lobbied the county to open a course at Robin Hill Farm County Park near Sequim in 2007. That idea was met with loud objections from neighbors and park users. Commissioners in 2010 added disc golf to the county parks and recreation master plan, except at Robin Hill Farm. “I actually think this location is probably even a little better [than Robin Hill Farm] because it’s a little further east, which can draw in folks from Jefferson and Kitsap counties and the Gig Harbor area,” Chapman said. “And it was land that the county wasn’t really using as much anymore.”

In 2004, the county road department used the land as a depository for debris from an estuary restoration project on Jimmycomelately Creek. The county planning commission voted 6-1 to recommend approval of the rezone in October. No public speakers testified at the public hearing, which was proceeded by a unanimous board vote. “Whereas before this room was packed with people opposing a disc golf course at a couple of sites we looked at, we had nobody testify today,” Chapman said. “So that does show that the staff did a good job of responding to the citizens’ requests. I think this will be a good addition to our parks department.” CHRIS MCDANIEL/PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

Winborn estimated that the cost of the equipment, accessories and miscellaneous items will be about $20,000. “Obviously, we have to put a little bit of money toward it, but there’s a lot of volunteer labor that will go with it,” Chapman said. Winborn credited the Parks and Recreation Board for meeting another planning goal and “seeing this project through.”

them up for public adoption. The animals have all made full recoveries, Sara Penhallegon, shelter director, said Wednesday. “Every one is 100 percent healthy and ready for adoption,” she said. While a few of the animals, including a Newfoundland working dog, have been placed in new homes, many more remain to be adopted, Penhallegon said. “We have a lot of them still,” she said. About 21 quail, three goats, two sheep, two donkeys, two pigs, four hens, a rooster and 20 rabbits remain to be adopted, she said. All the animals, if old enough, have been spayed or neutered, she said. “I am hoping the donkeys,” named Laverne and Shirley after the 1970s-era TV show, “will be leaving us soon,” she said. She also is searching for a home for the two pigs, named Lucy and Ethel, which are hard to accommodate at the shelter. “They are full-sized farm pigs and obviously need to go to a home where they are not going to be eaten,” she said. “They are really nice pigs. Our volunteers just love them. I wish we had a better place for them, but they are active adult pigs.” For information about adopting animals, contact the center at 360-765-0598 or visit www.centervalley animalrescue.org.

Charter school system shutting down; schools will stay open BY DONNA GORDON BLANKINSHIP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE — The state’s charter school system took another step Tuesday toward shutting down, but the state’s nine charter schools were expected to stay open at least through the end of the academic year. The statewide Charter School Commission voted during a telephone meeting to make final preparations to lay off its staff and send its records to the state archives. Closing the agency is required under a Washington Supreme Court ruling that declared a 2012 law creating the charter schools was unconstitutional. The high court cited issues with the way charter schools are supported with state dollars and governed by a board that is not elected by residents. The justices said last month they would not reconsider their decision. The court was expected to start the process of shutting down the charter schools as early as Wednesday, commission Executive Director Joshua Halsey said. The schools had continued receiving state funding pending an appeal of the court ruling, but that cash flow will likely end this month.

Solutions sought The schools and their supporters have sought solutions to keep their doors open through the end of the school year, with help from the commission, the nonprofit Washington State Charter Schools Association and the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The most likely solution is transforming the schools into so-called Alternative Learning Experiences, according to the association that supports state charter schools. That program is used mostly for online schools hosted by school districts, but officials with the superintendent’s office and the association believe it also could work as a stop-gap for charter schools. Eight of the nine charter schools are pursuing a relationship with the Mary Walker School District in Stevens County, association

spokeswoman Maggie Meyers said. The district’s superintendent is Kevin Jacka, who resigned last week from the Charter School Commission. It would allow the schools to stay open and receive state education dollars, Meyers said. She said it’s the best approach being pursued, but not the only one. Charter school supporters hope the Legislature will fix the law the court struck down during its 2016 session. “We’re all ultimately depending on lawmakers to fix this mess and do right by kids and families and uphold the will of the voters,” Meyers said. Initiative 1240 passed with 50.7 percent of the vote in 2012, making Washington the 42nd state to approve charter schools. The Washington Education Association, party to a lawsuit leading to the Supreme Court ruling, says the Legislature has more important work to do that affects more children than those enrolled in charter schools. “Clearly there’s a lot of work that needs to be done. Let’s focus on that rather than trying to fix a flawed law that focuses on a fraction of the students in the state,” said Rich Wood, a spokesman for the teachers union. Lawmakers are under pressure from the Supreme Court to fix the way the state pays for all public schools. Since August, the court has been fining the state $100,000 a day until it can come up with a plan to meet the requirements of its school funding decision. Those fines are being kept in a special education account and are a fraction of what lawmakers expect to add to the education budget to meet the court’s requirements. Halsey, head of the Charter School Commission, said he expects the shutdown to take a few months. “We’re in unprecedented territory,” he said, noting that the state has shut down public agencies but only as a merger with another department that would take over its functions.

3 ensembles to blend in PT for holiday-themed concerts BY DIANE URBANI DE LA PAZ PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT TOWNSEND — “Behold New Joy,” one of the songs the Wild Rose Chorale will offer during separate concerts Friday and Sunday, could also be the theme of the two concerts. At both, Wild Rose and director Leslie Lewis will join two more ensembles: the Port Townsend Youth Chorus and Colleen Johnson’s Summertime Singers. Together, they will fill up First Presbyterian Church, 1111 Franklin St., with song at 7 p.m. Friday and again at 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Everybody is invited for “a big dose of holiday spirit,” as Wild Rose singer JES Schumacher promised — but this won’t be your typical Christmas fare. “I like that we are doing a few songs that are very new for us,” said Lewis, who leads both Wild Rose and the PT Youth Chorus. “White Winter Hymnal,” a song featuring body percussion at a level the group hasn’t done before, is on the itinerary.

So are some playful versions of classic and new seasonal tunes, said Lynn Nowak, Wild Rose’s spokeswoman. In both concerts, the Wild Rose Chorale, the Summertime Singers and children in the PT Youth Chorus will sing sets of their own and then join together in two finale numbers. Admission is a suggested $15 at the door, while more information awaits at www.

Chapman suggests panel to pick public defender Current contract expires at end of year BY ROB OLLIKAINEN PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — Clallam County Commissioner Mike Chapman has advocated forming a screening committee to help the board select an indigent defense provider. The county’s current contract with Clallam Public Defender expires at the end of this year, and the nonprofit’s bid was $50,000 more than the $1.14 million that the county budgeted for public defense.

Three options Commissioners are faced with three options for indigent defense: renew a contract with Clallam Public Defender, hire former prosecuting attorney William Payne’s firm or bring public defense inhouse. “Ultimately, I’m not qualified to make such a momentous decision,” Chapman said in Tuesday’s business meeting. “I think it would be really wise to set up a committee, a screening committee, of a retired judge, a retired prosecutor, a retired public defender, to screen the contracts and have them make a recommendation back to the board.” Commissioners discussed indigent defense at length during Monday’s work session. They plan to revisit the topic Monday.

Two bids received Clallam County received bid proposals from Clallam Public Defender and Sequim-based Payne Law P.S. The bids were summarized by County Administrator Jim Jones but were not presented to the board. “Before we bring this back up, I think the board should see the contracts, the bids,” Chapman said. “For me, the non-starter is not seeing the bids. We have to see

those as a board.” Clallam Public Defender, which has a long-standing relationship with the county, bid $1.19 million to represent clients in both district courts and Superior Court, which includes juvenile court. Payne Law bid $418,000 to represent offenders in District Court and to handle appeals in Superior Court, Jones said in a Dec. 2 memo to the board. Jones noted weaknesses in both proposals, saying District Court Judge Rick Porter and Clallam Public Defender Director Harry Gasnick have a “longstanding and very serious professional/personal dispute” and Commissioner Jim McEntire and Payne have a “close personal relationship.” McEntire, who leaves office at the end of this month, said Monday he would disclose his friendship with Payne if he were to vote on a contract with Payne’s firm. Gasnick has declined to comment on the matter. Porter was not immediately available for comment Wednesday.

ounty Administrator Jones noted weaknesses in both proposals, saying District Court Judge Rick Porter and Clallam Public Defender Director Harry Gasnick have a “longstanding and very serious professional/personal dispute” and Commissioner Jim McEntire and William Payne have a “close personal relationship.”

missioners could reach that conclusion unanimously. Commissioner Bill Peach said Monday he favored competition and “bringing some fresh blood into the process.” McEntire agreed that law firms should compete for a contract with the county. Chapman touted Clallam Public Defender’s 30-year track record of providing a quality constitutional service to those who can’t afford an attorney.

‘Issue of contention’

Conclusion

Charter Review Commission Chairwoman Norma Turner, who was speaking for herself Tuesday, told commissioners that adversarial relationships between judges and attorneys are good for clients. “If you look at the whole legal system, it’s based on the issue of contention,” Turner said. “So I would hope that you would not see a contention as a negative but rather as a consistent reality of how the system works.” Jones in his memo recommended that commissioners select Payne Law for District Court and rebid public defense for Superior Court, but only if com-

After hearing the discussion, Jones concluded Monday that the board should reject the bids and negotiate a one-year extension with Clallam Public Defender to give commissioners time to reach a long-term solution. Chapman recommended the screening committee because “none of us have practiced law.” “I think if we were to go down that road, it would eliminate the consternation, and both competing bids could then move forward, having been peer-reviewed,” Chapman said.

Literacy panel prepares for ’16 reading contest PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — Fortyfour Clallam County sites from Port Angeles and Sequim to Neah Bay will participate in this year’s annual Clallam County Literacy Council Reading Contest in January and February. Participants will include public and private schools, tribal schools, Head Start programs, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula and the North Olympic Library System, which oversees public libraries in Port Angeles, Sequim, Forks and Clallam Bay, organizers said. Each site will have a contact person who manages the program with site staff. Teachers or site staff will encourage students to read books. As each student completes a book, the student completes a bookworm form indicating which book has been read and drops it off in the contest box, usually placed in a common area or the school library. At the end of the contest month, site staff will draw 25 winning entries from the forms. Each winner will get a free book. Each grand prize winner

will receive a $20 gift card. Each site will use contest materials in different ways, such as adding rafflebooks or hosting weekly free book drawings. Gift cards are donated or discounted by Forks Outfitters, Swain’s General Store in Port Angeles and Sequim’s Clallam Co-op. The literacy council, a partner agency of the United Way of Clallam County, distributes between 6,000 and 9,000 books each year. It involves community businesses in literacy outreach efforts through its Bookworm Basket Campaign, where baskets of books are located in businesses where children wait. The council also provides free adult tutoring, donating books at events and to food banks and nonprofits, and through its annual Reading Contest. Those who want to become involved in the council’s efforts can contact the council through the United Way of Clallam County, P.O. Box 937, Port Angeles, WA 98362, or call 360-457-3011.

This Nov. 20 photo shows an entangled whale in the Pacific Ocean off Dana Point, Calif., in Orange County.

Whales entangled at an alarming rate BY GILLIAN FLACCUS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONG BEACH, Calif. — An unusual warming in the Pacific Ocean might be having disastrous consequences for the majestic whales that use the waters off California as a migratory superhighway. This year alone, more than 60 whales entangled in fishing gear have been spotted along the coast — a more than 400 percent spike over normal and a pattern that began in 2014. Scientists believe the whales might be following prey closer to shore as warm water influences feeding patterns, putting them on a collision course with fishermen, crabbers and lobstermen. The situation is so dire that the crab fishery has begun working closely with state and federal agencies and environmental groups to figure out where and how the whales are running into their gear.

Crab fisher The ocean mammals also have become entangled in gill nets and lobster gear, but authorities have identified the crab fishery as the most urgent concern. “This time of year, the whales would be offshore, but with the blob of warm water, they’re right off the beach. They’re right where the crabs are,” said Jim Anderson, a crabber who’s helping to mobilize the state’s 562 licensed Dungeness crab fishermen. “You go talk to a guy who’s been fishing for 40 or 50 years, and he’s never seen anything like it.” Whales that have rope stuck in their mouths or wrapped tightly around their fins or tail will eventually die if they can’t free themselves.

Disentangle only a few Highly trained volunteer rescue teams are able to disentangle only a small percentage despite tracking devices that allow them to

follow the hobbled animals for miles. Many swim away and their fate is never known. A humpback whale that was partially freed recently off La Jolla, Calif., had line stuck in its mouth, a huge knot of rope 6 feet behind its tail and 200 additional feet of rope and buoys dragging behind it. Another rescued nearby had a 70-foot line looped over its tail that was connected to a lobster pot still swinging from the rope’s end underwater. Keith Yip, who volunteers as the leader of a disentanglement team sponsored by SeaWorld, was involved in both rescues. He’s been called out four times in the past six weeks and has logged 10 rescues in the past two years — one-fifth of all the calls he’s had in a 30-year career. “It’s another job in and of itself recently,” said Yip, who is the curator of mammals at SeaWorld. “My weekend days alone just the past couple of weeks I’ve spent on the water.” Rather than crack down on the Dungeness crab fishery, which can bring in up to $100 million a season, state and federal agencies decided to tap into the crabbers’ collective knowledge to figure out where wayward whales and fishermen are overlapping. The crab season is delayed this year because of a massive bloom of toxic algae in the Pacific, but crabbers are committed to help when the season does resume later this winter or next year.

Training session At a training session this fall in Half Moon Bay, nearly 100 crabbers learned how to photograph tangled whales, call them in to a hotline and then “babysit” them until authorities arrive. A best practices guide has been distributed to all crabbers. And when crabbing does resume, fishermen will

work alongside scientists on their boats to test different densities and strengths of rope and gear configurations, including a new “sinking rope” that reduces slack in the line that could entrap whales. Another pilot program will log where crabbers drop their pots on GPSenabled iPads. “We’ve got pots in the water, we’ve got ropes in the water and we’ve got whales in the water,” Anderson said. “What can we do to make this a safe place for everybody?” Environmental groups are on board, too. The cooperation comes against the backdrop of a two-decade battle between environmentalists and lobster fishermen on the East Coast that hasn’t yielded answers but has financially devastated lobstermen, said Geoff Shester, California campaign director for Oceana.

Promising start It’s a promising start but ultimately might not be enough, said David Anderson, captain of Capt. Dave’s Dolphin and Whale Watching Safari in Dana Point, Calif. Anderson, who is no relation to the crab fisherman, was among the first to realize there was a serious problem under the water when his tours kept running into distressed whales. Now, a critical part of his work also involves documenting — and responding to — entangled whales off the Southern California coast. Anderson, who’s certified by federal marine authorities as a volunteer rescuer, believes the hobbled whales here are a symptom of a larger crisis that’s telegraphed to the surface with each struggling creature. “We’ve had more than 50 entangled whales this year off California, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg,” he said. “Most of the whales we’re not seeing — and it’s a huge problem.”

Book signing set PORT ANGELES — “To this day I love the coast of Washington more than any other place on this planet,” Greg Johnston writes in his debut guidebook, Washington’s Pacific Coast: A Guide to Hiking, Camping, Fishing & Other Adventures. Johnston will discuss and sign copies of the book at the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St., this Friday evening. Admission is free to the 7 p.m. event, while Washington’s Pacific Coast will be available for purchase. In this jam-packed paperback, Johnston, 62, who now lives in Kirkland, is intent on motivating you to get out there. He describes more than 40 hikes for all energy levels, from Willapa Bay to Neah Bay; trips to nine state parks and Olympic National Park; visits to 30 campgrounds; and tips on fishing, clamming, beachcombing and tidepooling spots. For information, phone the event’s sponsor, Port Book and News in downtown Port Angeles, at 360452-6367.

Pot moratorium FERNDALE — Ferndale officials have approved a temporary ban on new marijuana businesses. The Bellingham Herald reported that the Ferndale City Council voted to approve the emergency moratorium Monday. The moratorium will last for six months but can be renewed. The city’s communications officer, Riley Sweeney, said the decision does not represent officials’ stance on the marijuana issue but gives the city time to make sure regulations meet state code.

Disorder in Sharia courts SET ASIDE FOR a moment the violent incidents associated with people claiming to act under the authority of their Islamic faith and consider instead what passes for normalcy. There are efforts underCal way in Britain Thomas to elevate to the level of mainstream Sharia law, an Islamic legal system predicated on the religious tenets of Islam. “A number of Sharia councils operate in the U.K. to offer resolution to disputes,” writes The Express, “but they have no jurisdiction in criminal matters.” Not yet, anyway. “Former archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams sparked controversy in 2008 when he suggested it was ‘inevitable’ that elements of Sharia would be incorporated in British law,” writes The Express.

Would this mean that in the near future, Sharia law could run parallel and equal to U.K. law? Hopefully not. Sharia has an abysmal record when it comes to the treatment of women. London’s Mayor Boris Johnson called the idea of Sharia law in Britain “absolutely unacceptable.” He is joined in his rejection by Home Secretary Theresa May, who has proposed a review into Sharia courts. The Independent newspaper recently published an investigative story that reveals a parallel system of Islamic justice, which the writer says condemns many British women to “marital captivity” while at the same time failing to protect them from domestic violence. Leiden University scholar Machteld Zee, writes The Independent, managed to obtain unusual access to secretive Sharia courts. After attending 15 hours of hearings at the Islamic Sharia Council in Leyton and the Birmingham Central Mosque, Zee reviewed more than a

dozen cases. According to The Independent, some of her findings included: ■ A case where a woman who claimed to be married to a physically and verbally abusive man is told by a “laughing” judge: “Why did you marry such a person?” ■ A woman “ready to burst into tears” is sent away without an answer after saying that her husband took out a loan in her name on the day they married and is denying her a divorce until she gives him 10,000 pounds. ■ A married couple asking for advice on whether the woman had been religiously divorced from her former husband were told “the secular divorce counts as nothing.” While Zee found some judges granting divorces and urging people to live under British law, she also concluded that most of the Islamic judges “are not a neutral third party but are always in favor of the man.” Zee has compiled her research in a book titled Choosing Sharia? Multiculturalism, Islamic Fundamentalism and

Peninsula Voices ‘Good guy’ with gun The National Rifle Association has responded to the problem of mass shootings when its CEO and executive vice president, Wayne LaPierre, said [Dec. 21, 2012, after the Newtown, Conn., shooting]: “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” But I submit that a selfproclaimed “good guy” with a gun in his hand, found standing over a dead body, has some explaining to do if he survives the arrival of the police.

British Sharia Councils. Her findings prompted Baroness Caroline Cox to introduce a bill in the House of Lords last summer that would make it illegal for Sharia courts to treat “the evidence of a man as worth more than the evidence of a woman.” The bill passed its second reading in the House of Lords in October. In an editorial responding to Zee’s research, The Independent says: “Can a healthy, harmonious multicultural society tolerate private legal systems? Not if that means the subjugation of women in abusive and indeed dangerous marriages, a form of imprisonment in all but name sanctioned by their local religious leaders.” Beyond the threat of mass shootings in the U.S., stabbings on London’s tube and at Israeli bus stops, there is the larger question of Islam’s compatibility with Western values and laws. Will those of us who practice a different faith, including Muslims with a different view of Islam or those who practice no faith at all, eventually be required to bow to Sharia law if

the Muslim population grows to a majority? That’s what radical Islamists appear to want: domination. If you doubt it, check your history books and read about the Crusades of 630 A.D. Carved into the facade of the U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C., are the words “Equal Justice Under Law.” But how equal can justice be if that law becomes Sharia law, either in a parallel legal system, or a dominant one that forces all other laws, be they based on the Ten Commandments or secular philosophy, to succumb? The question is more than academic and theological. The answer will determine the future direction for much of the world.

‘We are human beings . . . not dogs’ ON THE OUTSKIRTS of the northern French town of Calais, a massive, makeshift refugee camp called “The Jungle” grows daily, swelling with asylum-seekers fleeing war in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Sudan and beyond. Their countries of origin Amy are a map of Goodman the targets of U.S. bombing campaigns. More than 6,000 people in this, France’s largest refugee camp, hope for a chance to make the last, dangerous leg of their journey through the nearby channel tunnel to England. Wind whips off the North Sea, blasting the shelters made of tarps, tents, plastic sheeting and scrap lumber in this sprawling, ramshackle end of the line. The roads in the camp are muddy; the portable toilets are filthy. The charity health clinic had been closed since mid-November. The main entrance to the camp is below a freeway, with several

police vans parked with lights flashing and armed officers stationed above. Most who arrive here have endured arduous journeys of thousands of miles, hoping to cross to the United Kingdom. The channel tunnel offers asylum-seekers a way to make it to the U.K. without risking a dangerous crossing of the English Channel, by stowing away on either a high-speed passenger train or a freight train. Accessing either type of train involves significant risk, and accidental deaths occur almost weekly when people leap onto moving trains or stumble under truck tires. A few days before we visited the camp, a Sudanese man named Joseph was killed when he was run over by a car on the highway. Camp residents were protesting that the police had not stopped the driver, holding signs reading “We are Humans, Not Dogs” and “Do survivors of war not have the right to live in peace?” We asked a young man named Majd from Damascus, Syria, why he fled his country: “I escaped from the war. I don’t want to die. This war is not my war.” We asked him who was attack-

ing his country. He said: “Who? Everyone. Russia and America and Iran — everyone.” Days before we met Majd, the British Parliament voted to attack Syria, and began bombing immediately. In the few months prior, the British government built multiple layers of high, razor-wire-topped fences in Calais, sealing off the tunnel entrance and the rail line for miles before the tunnel, as well as the staging area where freight trucks line up to drive onto the rail cars that will carry them through the tunnel. Each truck also is subjected to an infrared scan to look for stowaways. Before the enhanced security, scores of asylum-seekers might get through the tunnel nightly. Now, it is almost impossible. The more the West bombs their countries, the more it shuts out those who flee its wars. In the Afghan section of the refugee camp, Sidiq Husain Khil was eager to speak about the 14-year-old U.S. war in Afghanistan — the longest war in U.S. history. Like many, he did not want his face to be filmed. We asked him about the effects

of U.S. bombing and drone strikes on Afghanistan. He replied: “If they are killing one person or 10 persons, 100 of them are joining the group of Taliban. . . . The war is not the solution for finishing terrorism. They have to talk face to face.” As we roamed the camp, pulling our coats tightly around us in the cold, we looked for a woman who would be willing to speak. We met Dur, an Afghan professor of English, who also did not want her face shown. She traveled more than 3,000 miles with her four children, by car, bus, horse, foot and boat. In almost perfect English, her 12-year-old daughter described their unimaginable route: “First we go to Nimruz province of Afghanistan. Then we went to Pakistan. Then we walked to Saravan, Balochistan. Then Iranshahr, Kerman, Shiraz, Tehran, Kurdistan and Turkey. Then we start walking in mountains. Then we went to Istanbul, Izmir. Then we arrived to the sea.” Dur hired a smuggler to take them in a leaky boat from Turkey to Greece. She told me, “When I saw that boat . . . I called all my children and I start to cry . . . I spent all my money to

An Afghan who worked with the U.S. Marines as a translator, he applied for a special visa for Afghans who put themselves at risk by working for the U.S. He said he was turned down because he hadn’t worked for the Marines for a full year. “Working with the U.S. government . . . just one day or a year . . . it doesn’t matter to the Taliban,” he told me. “As long as you work with them just one hour, you’re condemned to death.” “Today, Joseph.

Audubon planning birding outings THE HOLIDAYS ARE full of our feathered friends. Partridges, turtle doves, Michael French hens, calling birds and Carman swans all receive verses in “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” And for some, a Christmas goose serves as the focal point of a holiday repast. Back in the olden days, some of those destined for the dinner table birds were hunted as part of a tradition known as a Christmas “side hunt.” The New York Times defined a side hunt” as a “traditional killing binge in which Americans went festively into the woods to compete in shooting as many birds and small animals as they could within the holiday.” Conservation as we know it today was in its infancy at the time, but these Side Hunts took their toll, leading scientists to express concern on declining avian populations. A new tradition began 115 years ago this Christmas, according to the Audubon Society. “Beginning on Christmas Day 1900, ornithologist Frank M. Chapman, an early officer in the then nascent Audubon Society, proposed a new holiday tradition — a ‘Christmas Bird Census’ — that would count birds during the holidays rather than hunt them,” the Audubon Society website said. The side hunts eventually petered out, but the Christmas bird count became a yearly tradition, especially here on the North Olympic Peninsula. Three such bird counts are planned over the next month in Jefferson and Clallam counties. The Sequim-Dungeness Christmas Bird Count is set Monday. The count will occur in a 15-mile diameter area centered near the intersection of Brown and Port Williams roads. And the circle covers an area from Dungeness Spit on the north to the Olympic foothills south of Sequim and from Diamond Point to McDonald Creek. Last year’s count totaled 140 bird species, the second-best total of any Audubon group in the state. Sequim residents can contact Bob Boekelheide at bboek@olympus.net to sign up for the count.

Forks rips Rochester Spartans make strides in league-opening win BY MICHAEL CARMAN PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

FORKS — The Forks boys basketball coaching staff talked with their team about playing together before the Spartans’ Evergreen League opener against Rochester. Forks appeared to take the lesson to heart, starting strong by limiting Rochester to just six first-quarter points, as the Spartans ran to a 57-48 win over the Warriors. “Parker [Browning] had 25 [points] and Markie had 14 and a ton of rebounds, but I can’t tell you any kid did better than another because they all played a lot harder and a lot smarter this week,” Spartans coach Rick Gooding said of Tuesday’s game. “We gave up too many offensive rebounds and had too many turnovers, but we fought. We played like Spartans.” Rochester changed its tactics in an attempt to chisel away at Forks’ lead, but the Spartans were prepared. “They did some different things, they went from zone [defense] to man and our guys adjusted really well,” Gooding said. “We had guys who had zeroes on the score sheet who did some big things for us. “Scott Archibald on the bench didn’t get to play, but was calling out defensive rotations and the kids in the locker room gave him props.” Gooding felt his team fed off the energy of the large home crowd. “Anytime Forks gets an awesome crowd like that the kids

Jefferson count The Admiralty Audubon’s Christmas Bird Count will be held Saturday, Dec. 19. The count is an all-day event open to anyone wishing to participate. Half-day participants and home feeder-watchers also are welcome. The Admiralty Audubon count circle is a 7.5-mile radius centered near the Indian Island ship dock and is divided into 13 sections, with a team of three or more individuals assigned to each section. Team leaders for each section will make arrangements with the rest of their group for a meeting place and time (usually between 7:30 a.m. and 8 a.m.) the morning of the count. Anyone with bird feeders in the count circle who can spare at least one hour to watch their yard are encouraged to participate. A few more “expert” field birders as possible team leaders are needed. Participants should bring cold and wet-weather gear, binoculars, a scope if available, lunch and snacks for the day. A notepad and pencil or electronic recording devices, field guides, camera and a thermos with something hot also are recommended. There will be a countdown potluck after the count at the RoseWind Commons in Port Townsend at 5 p.m. TURN

Mariners acquire Lind from Brewers BY BOB DUTTON MCCLATCHY NEWS SERVICE

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — General manager Jerry Dipoto’s frenetic off-season roster overhaul showed no signs of slowing Wednesday as the Mariners acquired first baseman Adam Lind from Milwaukee. The cost was three minorleague pitchers: Daniel Missaki, Carlos Herrera and Freddy Peralta. All are righthanders. “Adam lengthens our lineup as a first baseman who gives us on-base percentage and power,” Dipoto said. “First base was a spot we came here looking to fill, and we feel that Adam is a good fit for us.” The Mariners cleared space

for Lind on their 40-man roster by designating first baseman Andy Wilkins for assignment. They acquired Wilkins on Dec. 2 in a waiver claim from Baltimore. Lind, 32, is a left-handed hitting first baseman who batted .277 last season in 149 games with 20 homers and 87 RBIs. He is under contract next season for $8 million before becoming a free agent. Because Lind struggles against left-handed pitchers, the trade could open a roster spot for Jesus Montero as the first baseman against left-handed pitchers. “Certainly as it pertains to a right-handed portion of a platoon,” Dipoto said.

The Peninsula Soccer Academy was started by Tom Harris of Sequim four years ago in coordination with Peninsula College assistant coach Tim Tucker. Harris noticed a vacuum existed for high school girls that wanted to continue playing soccer after the end of the high school’s fall season. This year’s 34-member squad boasts players from Port Angeles, Sequim and Port Townsend, and is coached by Peninsula College assistant coach Jake Hughes with assistance from Heidi Veride, Lisa Radford and goalie coach Nick Johnson.

Manziel had promised the Browns he wouldn’t be a distraction during the team’s bye week and then became one on social media sites. Manziel called the situation “a lapse in judgment” and said he learned his lesson. “Obviously, there’s a way to conduct yourself that 31 other guys in the league do each and every week,” he said. “You have to follow that example and realize that this is a very prestigious situation that I’m in being a starting quarterback in the NFL, so I have to take pride in that and act accordingly.” He had better.

I’m just sitting here today very thankful to be back in this role and be back in front of these guys and being in the huddle calling plays again and trying to go out and salvage what’s left of this season and take some pride in these last four games.” Manziel’s start on Sunday will be his first since he passed for a career-high 372 yards against Pittsburgh on Nov. 15. Now he has four games, including next week’s game at Seattle, to show how far he’s progressed — to spark a season already up in flames for Cleveland and help the Browns decide whether he can be their future quarterback. “It comes down to pride,”

NCAA allowing bench celebrations Worlock said this week that the celebrations are OK and not harming anyone. He says the Hawks reserves are just having fun and not coming on the court. Monmouth’s players have gained national acclaim for their entertaining routines, spicing up big moments during games and racking up likes and shares as fans spread the moments online through GIFs and short videos.

Worlock says the NCAA received a request for a rules interpretation and determined the celebrations aren’t interfering with the game. The mid-major from central New Jersey has wins over UCLA, Notre Dame and USC. The wins earned considerable buzz for Monmouth (5-3), with players saying they’re getting recognized more around school.

Maddie Boe led the Riders in assists with six and also nabbed five steals. Port Angeles led 21-10 at halftime, but errant shots from close range helped Vashon stay close in the second half. “We missed several lightly contested or uncontested shots inside tonight, as well as missed seven free throws out of 13,” Poindexter said. “That contributed to our inability to get a comfortable lead against Vashon.” Siena Jennatty led all scorers with 15 points for the Pirates.

I felt Maddie Dowling had her best overall effort of the early season, and Holly Snider gave us solid minutes coming off the bench tonight.” Huntingford was pleased with the win. “I feel that we can build off of it as [the] girls like that they are starting to get more familiar with the new lineups [due to] injuries,” Huntingford said.

Study: More than half of renters 40 and older Statistics display major shift in demographics BY JOSH BOAK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Share increasing A decade ago when the housing bubble peaked in 2005, 47 percent of renters — or 16.4 million households — were older than 40. Their share was 43 percent in 1995. The increase in older renters corresponds with a surge in foreclosures after the housing bubble popped. Since the 2008 financial crisis triggered by the housing bust, there have been roughly 6 million completed foreclosures, according to CoreLogic, a property data firm. Many of these are former owners who have transitioned to renting. “Middle-aged households in par-

But Herbert also noted that more of the baby boomers born after World War II are growing older, which has also caused sharp increases in the number of renters between the ages of 55 and 69 during the past 10 years. During that same period, the United States has added a total of 9 million renters — including younger millennials recently out of college. But demand has outpaced supply and caused prices to rise. Rents increased 7 percent between 2001 and 2014 after adjusting for inflation, while incomes fell 9 percent, the report said. The result is that a larger number of Americans must devote more than

30 percent of their income to rent, a level that the government considers to be financially burdensome. Over the past decade, that number has jumped from 14.8 million to 21.3 million, or 49 percent of all renters.

Total numbers climb The share of renters being financially burdened has dropped from their 2011 peak, but their total numbers continue to climb. Construction has done little to ease the problem. Permitting for multifamily construction has increased a robust 17 percent this year. But the median rent on a newly built apartment was $1,372 a month in 2014, about $500 more a month than what about half of renters could afford without being financially burdened.

Yahoo spin off

WASHINGTON — The majority of U.S. renters are now 40 and older, a fundamental shift over the past decade that reflects the lasting damage of the housing crash and an aging population. This finding in a report released Wednesday by Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies overturns the assumption that the rental boom is only the result of 20-somethings flocking to hip urban centers. Single-family houses are a growing share of rentals. And affordability problems are mounting as rents rise faster than wages, while apartment construction increasingly targets tenants with six-figure incomes. Nearly 51 percent of renters have celebrated their 40th birthday, according to the report’s analysis of Census Bureau data. That amounts to 22.4 million households.

SAN FRANCISCO — Internet pioneer Yahoo, under pressure from unhappy shareholders and desperate to avoid a huge investment-related tax bill, will break itself apart — just not in the way it had previously planned. The company will now aim to spin off its struggling Internet business — essentially, everything associated with the Yahoo name — into a new company. Yahoo itself would then become little more than a holding company for its $32 billion stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba. For most of the past year, Yahoo had planned instead to spin off the Alibaba stake into a separate holding company called Aabaco in order to sidestep more than $10 billion in taxes Yahoo might otherwise owe. But the IRS jeopardized that plan by refusing to guarantee a tax exemption.

New car needs new door seal Dear Doctor: I’m leasing a 2016 Nissan Maxima, and a week after driving it, I discovered that a rubber seal above the passenger front door was not fully seated in the groove. I took it back to the dealer and was told the seal had to be replaced. It has been over a month, and all I get when I call is that the seal is on back order, and the last time I called, I was told that Nissan did not have this seal in the U.S. and they had no idea when it would come in. Now, I know we live in a time where you can get anything from anywhere in the world in a matter of days. I am concerned about this, what with living in the Northeast and winter coming. This could freeze and leak into the interior and make a mess in a new car. How can I solve this problem? Tom Dear Tom: The rubber seal should be able to be repositioned into place until the new seal arrives. We use 3M weatherstrip adhesive to attach any rubber seal to the vehicle.

What is the cause of this? Arlene Dear Arlene: The problem is either a weak battery or parasitic drain. If the battery test is good, then the next step is to check for parasitic drain. The technician will connect a digital amp meter to check the amount of drain (50 milli amp is the average). Anything more than 50 milli amps will drain the battery in eight hours. The technician will start checking the current draw by removing one fuse at a time and checking current draw after each fuse is removed. The fuse that ends the current draw is the circuit that has the problem. An alternator can also have an internal fault that can cause current draw.

9934 Jefferson County Legals

The Department of the Navy (Navy) gives notice that an EA has been prepared and an Environmental Impact Statement is not required for Aboveground Shore Power to Ammunition Wharf at Naval Magazine (NAVMAG) Indian Island, Port Hadlock, Washington. Under the Preferred Alternative, the Navy will construct a new overhead loop electrical power distribution system on NAVMAG Indian Island and remove the existing leased temporary Mobile Utilities Support Equipment (MUSE) generator systems. The purpose of the proposed action is to supply permanent shore-based power to submarines while they are berthed at the NAVMAG Indian Island Ammunition Wharf. The proposed action is needed because the Navy’s Clean Air Act permit for the two existing diesel-powered generators was conditioned on their removal as the primary source of electricity at the Ammunition Wharf by September 30, 2016. The Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) addressing this action is based on an EA dated October 2015. The EA and FONSI are available at the following website for a period of 30 days from the date of this notice: http://go.usa.gov/tAr4 For additional information regarding the EA or project, please contact: Naval Facilities Engineering Command Northwest, ATTN: NAVMAG Shore Power NEPA Planner, 1101 Tautog Circle, Silverdale, WA 98315. For media queries, please contact Public Affairs Specialist Sheila Murray at sheila.murray@navy.mil. Pub: December 10, 11, 13, 2015 Legal No: 672356

DEAR ABBY: I’m 13 and in what I think is a serious relationship with “Josh.” The problem is, his mom thinks I’m “mentally abusing” him. I have never done anything to Josh to make her think that. She and I have had our disagreements and have not spoken for periods of time before, but nothing like this has ever happened. I’m pretty sure I love Josh, and I don’t want to lose him because of what his mom thinks of me. What should I do? Puzzled in Indiana

DEAR ABBY Abigail Van Buren

Dear Puzzled: You didn’t mention how old Josh is and how he feels about all the attention you’re giving him, but I can offer a couple of suggestions. The first is to slow down. Take a step back so Josh can have some breathing room. The second is to try to make a friend rather than an enemy of Josh’s mother, who might be worried about a 13-year-old girl who seems fixated on her son.

Dear Young/Old: I have news for you. There are plenty of people half your age who also have physical problems that prevent them from performing certain tasks — including bad backs, bad knees, rotator cuff injuries and more. Because someone looks great doesn’t necessarily mean that the person is 100 percent. If you are asked to do something beyond your ability, be honest about it and say no.

time to teach your son a lesson. With the international situation heating up as it seems to be, there’s no telling where your son could wind up being stationed. Let him go with peace of mind knowing his pet will be well cared for until he returns.

Dear Abby: You probably wonder why I think this is a problem, but it is for me. I’m a single male, almost 77, who can easily pass for 50 or 55. The problem is friends, acquaintances and some strangers (in their 40s, 50s and 60s) think that because I look so much younger than my age, I should be able to perform the same physical tasks they do, which I can’t. I have the same aches and pains as anyone else my age. I’m flattered that I look younger, but how do I explain that because I look 50 to 55 doesn’t mean I necessarily feel that way. I know, I know. Some people probably wish they had my problem. Young/Old in California

Dear Abby: I remarried when my son, “Kevin,” was 5. He’s now 20. My husband has always tried to be a good dad to him even though Kevin was challenging at times. Kevin is now in the military. Before he left, he adopted a dog, “Leisel,” that’s a year old. Kevin will be deployed overseas for three years and wants us to take her. We have a dog and cat, a big yard and three teenage daughters who want Leisel, but my husband says no. He says it was a mistake to get the dog in the first place, and Kevin needs to learn a lesson and do the hard thing and give her up. I agree it was a mistake, and I don’t really want another dog, but I’m willing to do it for my son. Lots of parents get “stuck” with their kids’ pets. They roll their eyes and just do it.

uncertainty and confusion from others. Don’t let anyone use emotional blackmail in order to tempt you to do things that aren’t good for you or that could separate you from your cash. Be responsible. 3 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Avoid travel and dealing with institutions, if possible. Taking care of your health and setting up an exercise program that will help you stay in shape and look your best is a good place to start. Put your needs first for a change. 3 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you want something, go after it. A job that interests you is within reach. Use innovative tactics to attract attention and support from those who can help you achieve your goals. Strive for greater stability and you will gain recognition and respect. 4 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Protect against false accusations and emotional manipulation. Use your intelligence and insight to avoid getting involved in something that has the potential to make you look bad. A moderate approach and tight budget will give you financial wiggle room. 2 stars
