PORT ANGELES — Restoring commercial air service from Port Angeles to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport has been postponed indefinitely. SeaPort Airlines of Portland, Ore., notified Port of Port Angeles staff late Tuesday it is postponing the start of its scheduled air service from William R. Fairchild International Airport to Sea-Tac indefinitely, citing a pilot shortage. SeaPort could not be reached for comment Thursday. The company’s news release did not suggest how long the postponement might last. The airline also is postponing its planned service from Moses Lake to Seattle and Portland, Ore.

PORT ANGELES — Forks Community Hospital, Jefferson Healthcare and Olympic Medical Center will join in an Accountable Community of Health system as part of Gov.

I think all reimbursements are at risk.” In 2015, about 17 percent of patients who visited the hospital were Medicaid recipients, Lewis said. The state intends “to go away from cost reimbursement to a new payment methodology which could be more like fixed budgets,” he said. That could mean OMC and other hospitals would get a fixed fee for service instead of being paid for each patient visit,

According to the state Health Care Authority, the goal of the accountable communities is to establish collaborative decisionmaking on a regional basis to improve health and health systems, bring together all sectors that contribute to health to develop shared priorities and strategies for population health, and to drive physical and behavioral health care integration by making financing and delivery system adjustments, starting with Medicaid.

DERRICK TODD LEE, 47, a serial killer who was convicted of murdering two women and was sentenced to death for the second killing, has died at a New Orleans hospital where he was taken for emergency treatment, state corrections officials said. Mr. Lee went to the hospital early Saturday and died shortly before 9 a.m. Thursday, Mr. Lee Department of Public Safety and Corrections spokeswoman Pam Laborde said in an emailed statement. She said an autopsy will determine cause of death. Mr. Lee was sentenced to life for one murder and to death for killing 22-yearold Charlotte Murray Pace, who was stabbed 81 times and bludgeoned with an iron in May 2002. The Louisiana Supreme Court upheld that conviction and sentence in September, rejecting claims that his lawyer should have brought up evidence of mental illness. DNA evidence linked Mr. Lee to five additional killings from 1998 to 2003; Diane Alexander survived to testify against him in both the Pace trial and that of the murder in 2002 of Geralyn DeSoto. Mr. Lee was convicted of second-degree murder, which carries an automatic

The seven men will leave here on the 6:30 p.m. bus, spend the night in Seattle and report at Tacoma at 11 Friday morning for physical examination before being sent to Camp Murray. The seven men reporting tomorrow make up Clallam County’s second quota, the first quota of two men having left here early in January. The third quota, consisting of approximately 25 men, will be inducted into service in the period starting Feb. 17.

A3 Briefly: Nation Ala. executes first prisoner in over two years ATMORE, Ala. — A man convicted of the 1992 rape and beating death of a woman has been put to death in Alabama’s first execution in more than two years. Authorities say 43-yearold Christopher Eugene Brooks received a lethal injection in a procedure starting at 6:06 p.m. local Brooks time Thursday at a state prison in Atmore. Corrections Department spokesman Bob Horton said Brooks was pronounced dead at 6:38 p.m. Brooks was convicted of the capital murder of 23-year-old Jo Deann Campbell, a woman authorities say he first met when they worked at a camp in upstate New York. Campbell was seen speaking to Brooks at a restaurant where she worked Dec. 30, 1992, and she later told a friend someone was spending the night in her living room, according to witnesses. The next day, police found Campbell’s partially clothed body under the bed of her apartment in the Birmingham suburb of Homewood. Prosecutors said she was bludgeoned with an 8-pound dumbbell and sexually assaulted. Brooks’ bloody fingerprint was on a doorknob in Campbell’s bedroom and a latent palm print on her ankle, according to court records.
No new rape trial OKLAHOMA CITY — A judge has rejected a request for a new trial for the Oklahoma officer convicted of raping and sexually assaulting women while on duty. Oklahoma County District Judge Timothy Henderson ruled Thursday on the request from Daniel Holtzclaw, who had said in his motion that prosecutors withheld evidence from his defense team during his trial late last year. A jury convicted Holtzclaw last month on 18 charges and acquitted him on 18 other charges. He faces up to 263 years in prison.
Blame for Flint water LANSING, Mich. — A day after doctors reported high levels of lead in Flint children, Gov. Rick Snyder’s top aide told him the “real responsibility” for the city’s water issues rested with local government officials, emails show. Then-chief of staff Dennis Muchmore later told the governor that residents were “caught in a swirl of misinformation” about lead contamination and that it was up to city and county leaders to confront the issue, according to the emails, which were released Wednesday. “Of course, some of the Flint people respond by looking for someone to blame instead of working to reduce anxiety,” Muchmore wrote. “We can’t tolerate increased lead levels in any event, but it’s really the city’s water system that needs to deal with it.” In a Sept. 25 email, Muchmore said he could not “figure out why the state is responsible” before noting that former state Treasurer Andy Dillon had signed off on the city’s plans to build a water pipeline from Lake Huron, which required a temporary switch to the Flint River during construction.

Since 2014, immigrant families have been sent to family detention centers or released and told to appear in immigration court. Nearly 790 deportation orders have been issued for immigrants with children who have arrived since July 2014 and were detained.

Advocates welcomed the new program, hoping immigrants can prove they are fleeing persecution and win the right to stay in the U.S. It faces opposition from those who want the government to quickly screen immigrants on the border and turn away those who don’t qualify for asylum. “Instead, the administration continues to take actions that encourage more illegal immigration, such as providing taxpayer benefits to those who have come here illegally,” said Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

BAGHDAD — Two powerful Shiite militias are top suspects in the abduction of three Americans last weekend in a southern neighborhood of the Iraqi capital, an Iraqi police commander and a Western security official in Baghdad said Thursday. The Americans were abducted in Dora, a mixed neighborhood that is home to both Shiites and Sunnis, on Saturday. It was the latest in a series of

brazen high-profile kidnappings undermining confidence in the Iraqi government’s ability to control state-sanctioned Shiite militias, which have grown in strength as Iraqi security forces battle the Islamic State group. Two Shiite militias — Asaib Ahl al-Haq and Saraya al-Salam — were likely behind the attack, the Iraqi and Western official told The Associated Press on Thursday. “Nobody can do anything in that neighborhood without the
approval of those militias,” the police commander said. The Western security official confirmed that Iraqi and U.S. intelligence assessments had narrowed down the suspects to those two groups. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to reporters. One of the militias named as a suspect is backed by Iran, a key ally of Iraqi Prime Minister Hayder al-Abadi’s government.

AN EMACIATED BABY northern fur seal is recovering after it was found in some bushes at a San Francisco Bay Area business park, his second escape attempt in just a few months. Hayward police said on the department’s Facebook page that the dehydrated and malnourished seal was found after someone called about the pup around 6 a.m. Wednesday. Police say the seal — somehow — got out of the water, crossed busy Interstate 880 and found its way to the bushes. Police at first thought the caller was mistaken and the furry fellow was really just a “possum or a weird cat.”
A FLIGHT ATTENDANT accused of making a phony bomb threat that forced a flight he was working to make an emergency landing in North Dakota is accused in a similar incident in Virginia. Justin Cox-Sever, who was a SkyWest Airlines flight attendant from Tempe, Ariz., was charged last week in a Virginia federal court with making a bogus bomb threat that forced a SkyWest flight to Chicago to return to Charlottesville last July. Cox-Sever doesn’t have a lawyer for the Virginia case. His lawyer for the North Dakota case, Neil Fulton, declined to discuss the case in detail via email Thursday.
THE HUSBAND OF a pediatrician at a New York City children’s hospital was charged with murder after she was found stabbed in a shower at their multimillion-dollar suburban home, authorities said Thursday. Jules Reich, a tax specialist at a New York City firm, was arraigned Wednesday night in Scarsdale village court on a second-degree murder charge, according to the Westchester County district attorney’s office. His wife, Dr. Robin Goldman, was found dead Wednesday. Police responded after receiving a 9-1-1 call of a woman seriously injured at the five-bedroom, four-bath property.
SOUTH AFRICA ON Thursday reported a slight drop in the annual number of killed rhinos, but conservationists said rhino poaching remains unacceptably high and some warned that a South African court ruling in favor of a domestic trade in rhino horn could further imperil the threatened animals. Poachers killed 1,175 rhinos in South Africa in 2015, down 40 from the previous year as a result of law enforcement efforts to protect wildlife, said Edna Molewa, the environment minister. South Africa reported 13 poached rhinos in 2007 and 83 in the following year.

Airline: Pilots CONTINUED FROM A1 “The port will continue to work with SeaPort as well as restarting conversations with other carriers to explore bringing commercial air service to our region,” she said. “We are also reaching out to our representatives to explore solutions for small communities that need air service.” The port will be working with U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer’s office to determine if and how they can help address the pilot shortage in order to reestablish commercial air service to Port Angeles, Goschen said. Regularly scheduled air service at Fairchild remains one of the port’s key targets in its current strategic plan, she said.
Pilot shortage
The shortage is partly caused because many pilots are lured away by better incentives at larger airlines, he said. While a pilot needs only 1,200 hours to captain one of SeaPort’s nine-seat aircraft — as was planned for Port Angeles — and can be a co-pilot with 500 to 700 hours of flight experience, once they log 1,500 hours of flight time, they become eligible for hire by larger airlines, Sieber said. Qualified pilots currently have their pick of available jobs, and smaller airlines cannot compete with the compensation packages and signing bonuses offered by larger airlines, Goschen said. “All small carriers are facing the challenge of their pilots being enticed away, which impacts their ability to achieve affordable and sustainable air service,” Goschen said. Additionally, many Vietnam-era pilots are retiring at the mandatory retirement age of 65, with too few students enrolling in the expensive training needed to fill those vacancies, port officials say. “The port is committed to doing what we can in this challenging environment,” Goschen said.

Health: Care CONTINUED FROM A1 The state Health Care Authority and Department of Social and Health Services have submitted an application to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for a five-year Medicaid Transformation Demonstration Waiver to help fund the initiative, according to the state Health Care Authority. This plan, part of Healthier Washington, is intended to give the state the flexibility and expenditure authority necessary to transform the delivery system for the 25 percent of Washington’s population served by Medicaid, state officials say. The application covers three initiatives: transformation projects, long-term services and support, and supportive housing and supported employment, according to the state Health Care Authority. The state intends to focus on “population health and reducing state costs for the health care delivery system,” Lewis said. “They want hospitals like us to become part of accountable care organizations, and they want to pay us for keeping people out of the hospital rather than paying us for people being in the hospital,” he said. The plan is to “pay less for inpatient acute care and invest that money in public health and wellness and chronic disease management to prevent admissions,” Lewis said.

The $3 billion Medicaid waiver sought by the state, which would be doled out over a five-year period, would be used “for community health and wellness and chronic disease management” and will be funneled “through these accountable communities of health,” Lewis said. Lewis said it is important to have a seat at the planning table as the new initiative is launched, especially because 80 percent of the population in the Olympic Community of Health resides in Kitsap County. “I think we are going to have to be active in the new payment methodologies,” he said. “We are going to spend a lot of time in this area.”

PORT ANGELES — After 64 years, the Faires family will no longer manage the Port Angeles Boat Haven. Chuck Faires, who owns Port Angeles Marine — the company that manages operations at the Boat Haven as part of a contract agreement with the Port of Port Angeles — is retiring and is in the process of selling his company. The port has agreed to pursue a recommendation from Faires that Masco Petroleum take over his agent duties short-term. As part of managing the marina, Port Angeles Marine leases a room within the harbormaster office, the fuel dock, the land containing the underground fuel tanks and a retail space within the
Boat Yard building, port staff said. Faires has been the port’s agent at the Boat Haven for the past 43 years and at the Boat Yard for the past 29 years. In 1952, Joe Faires — Chuck Faires’ father — began managing the marina. Chuck, the Boat Haven harbormaster, took over management in 1976. On Jan. 4, Chuck notified port officials via letter he intends to retire effective May 15. “For the past 43 years, it has been a great honor and privilege to work with, and be affiliated with, each and every port commissioner and staff member that have come and gone,” Faires wrote in the letter to Karen Goschen, the port’s interim executive director. “Their straightforward

Port staff is not aware of any legal reason to prevent Chuck from transferring ownership of his business to Masco Petroleum, Nutter said.

are managed as reimbursements, in which the city must provide proof of payment before the money is released. This can cause a gap of several weeks, which can result in late fees or interest fees, Timmons said. The interest for the line of credit should be about equal to the potential late fees, he said, adding that failing to pay bills in a timely manner could decrease the city’s financial standing. Once the project is finished, the credit line will be shut down, Timmons said. The construction of the new facility is funded with a combination of grants and low-interest loans to be paid off within 20 years, along with a monthly user capital surcharge fee of $18 ($21 for those outside the city limits). These rates will respectively increase to $24 and $28.80 in 2018. They will be end when the loan is paid off. The new water facility is slated for completion in late October. It will be built in two phases: the main plant and a new storage reservoir to replace the current one, which is not earthquakeproof. The facility at 2087 20th St. is not currently publicly accessible for security reasons, city officials have said. Public tours will be offered after it is completed.
PORT TOWNSEND — The city will seek a line of credit to improve its cash flow during the construction of a new water facility. The city is currently examining proposals from two banks to provide the credit line, which is not to exceed $3 million. “This is a way for us to get cash for these projects that will be reimbursed by the state,” Public Works Director Ken Clow said at a City Council meeting Tuesday. At a previous meeting, Finance Director Nora Mitchell said the city expects to receive several invoices for the work ranging from a few hundred thousand dollars to $3 million, and the credit line “will let us pay the bills in a timely fashion.” The seven-member council unanimously approved the measure authorizing the credit line, with no council discussion or public comment. Mitchell, Clow said, is currently examining the two proposals. “Once we have gone through the process, we will determine which bank offers the best terms,” Clow said. The total cost of the project, which includes a filtration plant and a new reservoir, is estimated at $24 million, and the city has secured $25.5 million in ________ funding sources, City Manager David Timmons has Jefferson County Editor Charlie said.

SEQUIM — The Clallam County chapter of the League of Women Voters will hold a consensus meeting concerning “Money in Politics” when it meets from 9:45 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday at the Sequim Transit Center, 190 W. Cedar St. The League of Women Voters of Clallam County, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages the informed and active participation of all citizens in government. The national league currently is updating its position statement on campaign finance and considering whether financing a political campaign is protected speech under the First Amendment, organizers say. All local league and state chapters have been asked to participate in this discussion by researching and discussing the subject. The league does not
support or oppose candidates for public office and takes action only on issues that it has extensively studied and reached a consensus position upon. Saturday’s meeting will be the Clallam County league’s final discussion on this issue before a consensus is reached. The public is invited to attend the free event and learn more about the prevalence of money in politics. However, contributing to the final consensus is limited to league members only. For more information about this event, contact Linda Benson, money-inpolitics consensus facilitator, at 360-477-4787 or lkblwv@gmail.com.
An active voice The Clallam County league has been actively working to inform the county’s voting populous about issues that will affect them at the ballot box, said Genaveve Starr, vice presi-
dent of the chapter. “The goal of the League of Women voters is to empower citizens to shape better communities worldwide,” Starr said. “My personal focus this year will be making an effort to try to identify any possible points of agreement on major issues by people across the political spectrum.” The league hosts candidate debates before elections, forums on ballot initiatives and observes and reports to league members on meetings of local government bodies. This past year, the league “presented many candidate debates during the election season — from Sequim to Forks — [and] facilitated the Port Angeles City Council discussions on the fluoridation issue,” Starr said. It also hosts educational forums on local, state and national public policy issues, as well as issues the league has studied, discussed and taken a position on. In October, the league also was a co-sponsor — with the North Olympic
Library System — of a presentation by Humanities Washington speaker Dr. Cornell Clayton about political incivility and polarization in politics.
Seeking new members The league currently is seeking new members, welcoming whatever degree of involvement a member is comfortable with. Some members only pay their dues, while others help staff events, are active on committees, lead action activities or undertake leadership positions. Both Debbie Martin, president of the Clallam County chapter, and Starr “will be glad to meet with anyone who might like to discuss league activities and positions,” Starr said. For more information about the Clallam County League of Women Voters, contact Martin at biscayartlwv@yahoo.com or visit www.lwvcla.org.

Judge strikes down Eyman’s latest bill
Carlsborg sewer set to go to bid
initiative and the measure violates the rule that initiatives be limited to a single subject. The judge agreed on both points and found that the measure would “deprive legislators, individually and collectively, of their rights and duties.” For example, he said, lawmakers would not be allowed to consider the specific terms of a constitutional amendment, or change the two-thirds requirement to, say, a 60 percent supermajority for tax increases. Gov. Jay Inslee said he appreciated the quick ruling and said the decision will allow lawmakers to focus on the tasks at hand. Democratic Sen. Reuven Carlyle, a plaintiff in the lawsuit, said the ruling “respects the integrity of the Constitution, and it puts that integrity above any partisan politics, any one issue or any personality.” “Protecting the integrity of the Constitution matters. It’s not always popular, but it matters,” he said. During a hearing Tuesday, an attorney for the state, which is defending the voter-approved law, argued that the main thrust of the measure was the sales tax reduction. Because lawmakers were not required to take any further action, the initiative was legitimate, she argued. But Downing found that there was no way to know whether either measure — the request for a two-thirds constitutional amendment or the sales tax reduction — would have passed standing alone. The Constitution’s prohibition on having two subjects in a single initiative is designed “to ensure that enacted legislation has won

PORT ANGELES — The Carlsborg sewer project will go out to bid next week. County commissioners have agreed to issue a notice of invitation for bids next Tuesday and to assemble the county finance committee to scrutinize cost projections before awarding a contract in April. Public Works Administrative Director Bob Martin told commissioners Tuesday that the county has already spent $3.1 million on the sewer and needs to spend an estimated $12.1 million more. “We have $11.4 million available,” Martin said in the commissioners’ work session. “So we have a $726,000 estimated shortfall, which is a little less than the $1.2 [million] that I previously reviewed with you. And I think where we actually stand is going to be much clearer once we open the bids.” The county could make up a shortfall with real estate excise tax revenue, its capital projects budget or the Opportunity Fund, officials said. Martin said the engineer’s estimate for construction is highly conservative and that the bids will likely come in below the estimate. “I agree with everything we’ve heard and everything we’ve seen — although you can’t count on it until you get the bids in — that the bids are highly likely to come lower than the very conservative estimate,” County Administrator Jim Jones said.
“And that’s when we’ll really know what we need to do.” After opening bids March 1, county officials will spend six weeks analyzing the proposals. The finance committee will vet the project at its March 10 meeting. Commissioners are expected to award a contract in mid-April. The infrastructure will take 225 days to complete, according to the latest timeline. As proposed, a contractor will build a pump station along Carlsborg Road and lay sewer pipes to transport effluent to the existing wastewater treatment plant in the city of Sequim. The county paid the city $1.3 million for about 20 years of sewer capacity.

lead times as far as getting them delivered, particularly the electrical equipment. We do think, from talking to a couple of contractors, that 225 is very doable for them, so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.” Clallam County has $1.43 million reserved for the project in a special fund. Commissioner Mike Chapman said he supported an earlier request from County Treasurer Selinda Barkhuis to focus the finance committee on expenditures related to the Carlsborg sewer. Chapman, the board chairman, also suggested that Vice Chairman Mark Ozias attend the March 10 finance committee meeting because Carlsborg is in Ozias’ district. “Thank you,” Ozias told Chapman. “I would like to do that.” Chapman said it is important that the county auditor, treasurer and board of commissioners are “operating under the same set of numbers” for accuracy and transparency. Martin has said the cost of building the sewer will not be borne by the ratepayers. Service fees are expected to be about $70 per month for an average residential customer. Connection fees are $500 while the sewer is being built, $1,500 within two years of operation and $8,000 thereafter. No one is required to connect immediately, Martin has said.
Clallam County secured a $10 million loan from the state Public Works Trust Fund to fund the sewer, which county officials have been planning since the late 1980s. The 30-year loan will be repaid from the Opportunity Fund, a portion of state sales tax that supports infrastructure in rural areas. If the Carlsborg system is operational by April 1, 2017, the 0.5 percent interest rate on the loan will be lowered to 0.25 percent, Martin said. “We changed the working days from 250 to 225 to make sure we’re done by ________ that time,” Martin said. “We want to give the conReporter Rob Ollikainen can be tractor as much time as reached at 360-452-2345, ext. possible because there are 5072, or at rollikainen@peninsula some items that have long dailynews.com.
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!!
SEATTLE — A judge struck down Tim Eyman’s latest tax-limiting measure Thursday, finding among other problems that it was a thinly disguised effort to propose a constitutional amendment — which can’t be done by initiative in Washington. The decision from King County Superior Court Judge William Downing was an overwhelming victory for Eyman’s opponents, who prevailed on their major arguments, but it’s certain to prompt an appeal to the state Supreme Court. Voters last fall narrowly approved Initiative 1366, which would cut the sales tax by 1 percentage point, beginning in April, unless lawmakers allow a public vote on an amendment that would require a two-thirds supermajority in the Legislature for future tax increases.
Costing about $8B The sales tax cut would be a drastic hit to state revenue, costing an estimated $8 billion through the middle of 2021 at a time when lawmakers are struggling to boost spending on education and mental health. “It is solely the province of the legislative branch of our representative government to ‘propose’ an amendment to the state constitution,” Downing wrote. “That process is derailed by the pressure-wielding mechanism in this initiative which exceeds the scope of initiative power.” The lawsuit was brought by a group of taxpayers, two Democratic lawmakers and the League of Women Voters of Washington, who argued that constitutional amendments can’t be proposed by
approval on its own merits and not those of some other thoroughbred to which its wagon may be hitched.” Eyman was testifying before a Senate panel already considering a twothirds constitutional amendment when he received a text from his lawyer with the news. “We just got a ruling,” he told the panel. “Real-time text from my attorney, who says so eloquently, ‘We lose.’ ” Eyman said: “We obviously disagree with the judge and his decision, but it does not change what the voters decided, and I would certainly encourage this Legislature to move forward with it as it goes upward to the Supreme Court.” Eyman, a longtime antitax activist, has previously sponsored initiatives requiring a supermajority vote on taxes.
Struck down in 2013 The state Supreme Court struck down that requirement in 2013, saying it was unconstitutional. Eyman has filed another initiative to limit tax increases to one year unless they’re approved by voters. Opponents sued last summer in an effort to keep I-1366 from going on the ballot in the first place. The Supreme Court declined to block it, however, saying its legality was unclear and could be sorted out after the election. Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn, is the primary sponsor of the two-thirds constitutional amendment and chairwoman of the committee where the proposed amendment was heard Thursday. Roach said she expects her joint resolution to reach the Senate floor for a vote.

Renewed tourism deal considered BY ROB OLLIKAINEN PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — Clallam County commissioners are expected to ink a $459,000 agreement with the Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau when they meet next Tuesday. The visitor bureau would continue to market the area with county revenue from hotel-motel taxes if the professional services agreement is renewed for 2016. The county Lodging Tax Advisory Committee recommended the board approve the agreement for the budgeted amount, officials said. Commissioner Bill Peach, who sits on the committee, said it takes two months for the county to receive lodging tax revenue. “So based on the idea that there’s some additional monies that may be made available, there’s a couple of outstanding projects they could get involved in the conversation,” Peach said.

More information While he favors promoting the tourism industry on the Olympic Peninsula, Commissioner Mark Ozias said he wanted more information from the visitor bureau. “When I look through their scope of work, I don’t see any deliverables,” Ozias said. “I don’t see any measurable outcomes or anything like that. I’m interested in working over the course of time to try and tighten this up a little bit so we understand better what we’re getting for this significant investment. “I will be pursuing that for sure.” Commissioners will consider the agreement with the Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau in their business meeting at 10 a.m. Tuesday in Room 160 at the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles.
One such project is support for the shuttered Lincoln Theater in downtown Port Angeles, Peach said. A community group is raising funds to purchase the moviehouse for $235,000.

SEQUIM — Clallam County Public Utility District customers who lost power in a number of Wednesday evening outages were reported back online by Thursday morning. The PUD reported that at about 8:01 p.m. Wednesday, more than 11,800 Sequim-area customers lost power after high winds caused a transmission line to trip a circuit breaker. The cause, said company officials, was a tree in a power line near the SunLand substation. Power was restored to most customers by 10:22 p.m. Customers in the SunLand area remained without power until after 11:10 p.m. Another 862 customers in south-central and west Sequim had their power restored between 2:30 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. Thursday.

Pot states take fresh look at out-of-state investment BY KRISTEN WYATT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — States that have legalized pot are taking a fresh look at making it easier for out-of-state investors to get in the weed business, saying the industry’s ongoing difficulty in banking means they need new options to finance expansion. The four states that allow recreational pot sales — Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and Washington — have another big reason to take a new look at pot investment. That’s California, the nation’s most populous state and largest marijuana producer, though it allows the drug only for people with certain medical ailments. California voters could approve recreational pot this fall, giving the nascent pot industries in the other states reason to want to attract investment now, before a giant enters the picture. California has no ban on out-of-state owners, pressuring other pot states to loosen the rules before California opens for business. “There’s only so many

Chris Holbert, R-Parker, and sponsor of a bill to allow out-of-state ownership of marijuana businesses. The head of the Colorado Cannabis Chamber of Commerce was more blunt. “We can’t go get a loan from the bank to grow our business to help us accelerate,” Tyler Henson said. “We are susceptible to falling

behind other states.” But the prospect of big out-of-state money flowing into legal pot states still gives regulators pause. Pot-business residency ownership requirements generally date to the early days of regulated pot as a safeguard against investment by foreign drug cartels.
Residency requirements Those fears have largely dissipated, but public officials have hung on to the residency requirements because they believe it keeps the industry small and easier to manage. Pot regulators also cite the U.S. Department of Justice, which has repeatedly warned pot states they must keep drug money out of interstate commerce or face a crackdown. “The regulators will say, ‘Do we have money flying cross-country to be deposited in the pot industry? Let’s just keep it local,’ ” said Chris Lindsey, legislative analyst for the Marijuana Policy
Project, which oversees legalization campaigns in many states. Alaska’s pot regulators voted last year to ease residency requirements for pot industry investment, then backtracked in December. The regulators ended up using the more stringent standards needed to qualify to receive a yearly check from Alaska’s oil wealth fund. Residency requirements range from six months in Washington to two years in the other states. In Washington and Colorado, those requirements apply to business applicants and investors. But Washington’s Liquor and Cannabis Board announced this month that it intends to drop the ban on out-of-state investment to make it easier for marijuana businesses to raise money. The change would take effect in March if it’s approved as expected. In Oregon, majority ownership must rest with Oregon residents. Outside investment is allowed there, but non-resident owners can’t be directly involved in a business’ operation or management. A bill currently pending in the Oregon Legislature would change that. Marijuana businesses and activists believe that marijuana residency requirements are an endangered breed, though. Linsley argued that state marijuana protections will one day be as illegal as any other kind of business protectionism.

Groups advised to agree IMAGINE A SUMMER without recreational chinook or coho fishing. A warning shot intended to avoid such a sce- Michael nario, in the Carman form of a sternly worded letter from the National Marine Fisheries Service, has been fired across the bow of both the state Department of Fish and Wildlife and tribal fishing interests. The letter concerns potential consequences to Puget Sound salmon fisheries if tribal and state co-managers are unable to come to agreements during the upcoming North of Falcon season-setting meetings. Puget Sound fisheries, as defined in the document, include the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Puget Sound and all rivers and tributaries entering either saltwater body. The letter was sent this week to Jim Unsworth, state Fish and Wildlife director, and Lorraine Loomis, chair of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission. Both sides had trouble finding common ground during last year’s North of Falcon process, leading to a shutdown of Marine Area 10 (Seattle/Bremerton) for chinook fishing last summer. Now it appears the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the parent department of the Marine Fisheries Service, wants to show both sides what’s at stake if no consensus is met. There are four factors NOAA uses when offering final approval for fisheries: compliance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, consistency with the Endangered Species Act and the Pacific Salmon Treaty, and the allowance of full exercise of tribal treaty rights.
Endangered chinook To boil it down, Puget Sound chinook stocks are listed under the Endangered Species Act. Any chinook fishery requires authorization under Section 7 of the act — where a “consultation” on a federal action can be determined. The letter states: “In this instance, the federal action upon [which] NOAA Fisheries has consulted is the funding by the Bureau of Indian Affairs of tribal fisheries management activities. “Non-Indian fisheries are included within the consultation because, under a North of Falcon agreement, they are interrelated and interdependent with the tribal fisheries.” If the state and tribes can’t agree on Puget Sound fisheries through North of Falcon, then non-Indian fisheries, i.e. recreational, would lose that “interrelated and interdependent” status with tribal fishers and would not be eligible for a Section 7 consultation. This means any recreational fishery would have a host of hoops to comply with regarding the Endagered Species Act — so many that it would take more time to determine compliance than conduct the fishery. “Based upon what NOAA Fisheries knows now, the only potentially timely mechanism for ESA coverage of Puget Sound fisheries, at least non-Indian fisheries, requires agreement under North of Falcon,” the letter said. Coverage under Section 7 would still be there for tribal fishers due to the federal action of Bureau of Indian Affairs funding. Separate tribal plans would be “unprecedented,” however, and would demand new biological opinions, management plans and other slow-to-assemble analysis. The ultimate outcome of a schism likely would be the same for tribal fisheries as it would be for recreational. TURN

Rangers down Pirates Olympic continues its surprise region start BY LEE HORTON PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
BREMERTON — As if the North wasn’t already enough of a free-for-all, the resurgence of Olympic has ensured that there will be no nights off. The Rangers entered Northwest Athletic Conference men’s North Region play as one of the apparent sure things in the region — with a 2-9 record, they were a sure thing to finish last. Apparently not. Olympic defeated Peninsula 81-72 on Wednesday to improve to 3-1 in the region and now sit in a three-way tie for first with Edmonds and Everett. The Pirates drop to 2-2 in the North and are in a three-way tie for second with Skagit Valley and Shoreline. The Peninsula women improved to 4-0 in region play with a 68-57 win over Olympic on Wednesday. The Olympic men haven’t defeated Peninsula in nearly six years. The Rangers’ last win in the series was by a score of 74-70 on Jan. 30, 2010, in what was the final season of Peter Stewart’s tenure as the head coach of the Pirates. “I thought that we were a little flat offensively and defensively,” Mitch Freeman, the current coach of the Pirates, said of Wednesday’s loss. “We didn’t play with a lot of aggressiveness on the defensive end, which impacted what we were able to do on offense.”

PT holds on to upset Bremerton Class 1A Redhawks have won 2 straight games against 2A teams BY LEE HORTON PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT TOWNSEND — The Port Townsend Redhawks survived the closing seconds to beat Bremerton 40-38. It was the Class 1A Redhawks’ second consecutive victory over an Olympic League 2A team. They also beat North Mason on the road last week. With 10 seconds to play in Wednesday’s nonleague girls
basketball game and Port Townsend clinging to a onepoint lead, senior Kassie Olin hit a free throw to make it a twopoint lead. The Knights came quickly down the court, and Lizz Lamoureux was fouled on her way to the hoop with less than a second on the clock and injured an ankle. Lamoureux’s free throws, shot by replacement player
Preps Sophia Smith, missed and the Redhawks held on for their fifth win of the season. Kaitlyn Meek led the Redhawks with 10 points, but coach Scott B. Wilson said it was her defense that set the tone for the rest of the team. “She probably had six or seven steals, mostly in the third period,” Wilson said. “We’re showing we can play defense without a lot of fouling, and that proved key in this game.” Wednesday’s game was tight
the entire way. Bremerton led 16-14 at halftime, but the third quarter belonged to Port Townsend. The Redhawks outscored the Knights 14-9 in the third thanks to steals and turnovers to take a three-point lead, 28-25, into the final period. In the fourth, Port Townsend made enough shots from the field and the foul line to counter Bremerton’s best offensive quarter of the game. Micheala Derda led the Knights and all scorers with 17 points. TURN

And the Rams will be energized by a new market and a new fan base — and that’s coming after a season in which they swept the Seahawks while still based in St. Louis. The Seahawks were at their best in the past when pushed by a rugged San Francisco
team. Carroll had a worthy antagonist across the sidelines in Jim Harbaugh. This season, the Niners and Harbaugh-replacement Jim Tomsula hardly felt like a threat. Kelly, though, handled an Oregon rise that featured a 47-20 blowout of Carroll’s 2009
Trojans. Although there were none of the querulous exchanges with Kelly that Carroll notably endured with Harbaugh, a 27-point loss is never something easily swallowed at USC. Carroll has commented that he has long appreciated the innovation of Kelly’s offenses. And in 2010, while still at Oregon, Kelly came up and observed from the sidelines during a practice of Carroll’s first Seahawks team. I watched them chat amiably for quite some time that day. Kelly might look to Carroll again, if not directly, for guidance on navigating the perils of an NFL coaching change. Carroll, too, had trouble in his early NFL experiences. And he seemed to learn from the experiences and prospered in the aftermath. Kelly’s problem in Philadelphia came after he got sideways with the Eagles players and ownership, and, frankly, didn’t win enough games to lubricate that friction. TURN

Sounders sign Morris to homegrown contract BY TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — It took a trip to Europe for Jordan Morris to reaffirm his desire to start his professional career in the U.S. The best college player in the country last year and the rising star with the U.S. national team decided Seattle was where he wanted to begin. “I always knew I wanted to come home,” Morris said Thursday after being officially signed by the Seattle Sounders as a Homegrown Player. “I think my time over there, it was a good experience and a cool one, but it reaffirmed my belief that I wanted to play in my hometown and play before 45,000 fans at CenturyLink [Field].” The Seattle-area native and former academy player with the Sounders signed the largest contract for a Homegrown Player in MLS history, according to Seattle general manager Garth Lagerwey. Morris will immediately join a roster that includes MLS stars Clint Dempsey and Obafemi Martins with the intent that Morris will become an immediate contributor on a team in need of a youthful influence. Morris is certainly that. He’s 21. He led Stanford to the national championship last season and won the Hermann Trophy as the

He’s also the first collegian since 1995 to have made appearances for the U.S. national team, even scoring a goal in an exhibition against Mexico last April. It’s a lengthy and impressive pedigree Morris is bringing to the beginning of his professional career. “He’s got qualities that I think are unteachable qualities that sometimes I’ve tried to teach a player and never becomes engrained or part of his game,” Seattle coach Sigi Schmid said. Morris always seemed destined to start his career in Seattle
after playing for the Sounders’ academy and because of his father’s role as the team doctor. But his professional options expanded as his role in college and with the national team increased. Morris caught Seattle’s front office by surprise when he agreed to a trial with German club Werder Bremen in mid-December, spending a couple of weeks with the team. Morris was so impressive he was offered a contract by Werder Bremen. But the trip to Europe turned out to be an opportunity Seattle didn’t need to be worried about. If
anything, it strengthened Morris’ bond with the Sounders. It’s a bit of a coup for MLS to get one of the top American prospects to rebuff an overseas offer. “It’s important that this young generation of players growing up with Major League Soccer have a connection to the clubs in the markets they grow up in,” Sounders owner Adrian Hanauer said. Seattle started trying to sign Morris at the conclusion of his freshman season at Stanford, and Schmid recalled vehemently telling Morris he was making the wrong choice in returning to the Cardinal for his junior season. Schmid said he later acknowledged that Morris made the right decision, sending him a message prior to Stanford’s national championship match, where Morris scored two goals. Morris didn’t believe he was ready for the professional game when his sophomore year with the Cardinal ended. Now he’s prepared for the challenge. “It was more the mental side of it. I just didn’t really feel I was ready to make that jump mentally,” Morris said. “I think I’ve gotten mentally tougher over the last year and that’s something you definitely need in a pro environment and it was another chance with my team. “It all worked out.”
Preps: Neah Bay boys and girls win CONTINUED FROM A9 “Bremerton is a tough team and they fought to the very end,” Wilson said. “Derda is one of the most complete players we’ve seen this season, and our defense worked hard all night to keep track of her. Most of that assignment fell to Kaitlyn Meek, who did an outstanding job, but with plenty of help from the rest of the team.” “Jasmine Apker-Montoya was a strong contributor on offense and defense, finishing with eight points. Reilly Berkshire was a force under the basket for rebounds.” Port Townsend (1-3, 5-9) finishes out the regular season with six Olympic League 1A games, starting tonight at league-leading Coupeville (3-0, 9-4) at 6 p.m. The starting time was recently changed due to the ferry schedule.

Rwehabura Munyagi Jr. and Reggie Buttram each put up 12 points for Neah Bay, while Biship Tejano scored eight and Anthony Bitegeko and Zach Dulik each contributed six points. Bitegeko also grabbed six rebounds and Dulik had five. Luke Leonard and Peter Johnson each scored five points to lead the Loggers. “We hustled hard for 32 minutes,” Crescent coach Chris Ferrier said. “Neah Bay is really a welloiled machine. They knock down shots. “My guys really kept battling and played hard regardless of the score. Proud of our guys.” The Loggers (0-3, 1-12) goes on the road to face the Sequim JV team on Monday. Neah Bay (2-0, 9-2) plays at Clallam Bay tonight, and then at Chief Kitsap on Saturday.

Candidates’ sexual past fair game? IN 2014, MATT BAI published a book called All the Truth Is Out, a history of Gary Hart’s scandal-driven downfall that doubled as a lament for political journalism’s surrender to the lure of tabloid culture. Bai’s book was a great Ross read, and nobody would Douthat dispute his point that there’s far less privacy for politicians than in the days when Lyndon Johnson could tell a group of reporters: “You may see me coming in and out of a few women’s bedrooms while I am in the White House, but just remember, that is none of your business.” But his book’s title was still a little bit misleading. Even today, we don’t get all the truth about the sex lives of the powerful and famous. We get more of it than people got in the 1960s, but it still often comes in fragments, glimpses, rumor and conjecture. You can read a thousand supermarket stories, for instance,
without getting any closer to the truth about most Hollywood relationships. And while the mainstream press isn’t necessarily protective of public figures, neither is it rushing out to do National Enquirer-style digging whenever there’s a plausible rumor in the wind. For every Eliot Spitzer or Mark Sanford, there’s a scandalous story that flares and vanishes amid a lot of journalistic discomfort about touching it. There’s also a certain randomness to when a scandal actually breaks big. To take a nonpolitical example, Bill Cosby’s sexual exploitations were kinda-sorta in the public record for years and years, but they were a footnote in profiles and biographies until Hannibal Buress started talking about Cosby-the-rapist in his comedy routines. Then suddenly, it was a story, a cascade of stories, and the whole truth or something close was out. Similarly, in the political realm, The National Enquirer first published John EdwardsRielle Hunter stories in October 2007. But Edwards was able to
make his way through an entire primary campaign before the mainstream media finally, reluctantly, started reporting on his love child. Which brings us to Bill Clinton, whose old scandals are once more in the news — because Donald Trump is talking about them, because Juanita Broaddrick took to Twitter to reassert her claim that Clinton raped her in 1978, and because today’s liberal deference toward rape victims makes an uneasy fit with how the Clinton camp dealt with accusations from Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey and Paula Jones in the 1990s. This has produced a lot of discussion about whether the former president’s sexual past is “fair game” during his wife’s 2016 campaign. But that question tends to assume that there’s some consensus about the former president’s sexual past. It assumes that all the truth is out. In reality, though, the narrative around Clinton’s sexual past is highly unstable, with several variations that have a plausible claim on being true. There’s the official Clintonite narrative, in which the former
Peninsula Voices Sequim bond If you oppose the Sequim School District bond, its supporters make it sound as if you’re antiAmerican, anti-education and literally against “mom and apple pie.” There is more to education than erecting buildings. Responsible educators and administrators must recognize that new structures are not a be-all, endall to learning. Good management of the school system is critical to sensible utilization of funding. Fewer titles and better fiscal judgment are what’s needed. Jack E. Loffmark, Sequim
For Sequim bond People have asked, why does the Sequim school bond include money for new science labs? Don’t new science/chemistry labs just add cost to an already hefty price tag? The questions — why can’t we just replace the old lab stations and we don’t need to give our students mass spectrometers or anything like that, do we? — reveal a desire to balance the needs of our students with economic concerns. But we need to do more than just fix and replace. It would be a false economy to not upgrade our science classrooms to meet the instructional needs of the next 30 years of Sequim students. Upgrading the science classrooms (built in 1967) into interactive, technologyassisted labs will support our tech-savvy students’ learning of the sciences. Student-friendly technology in the classroom is allowing students to gain an appreciation of the physical and life sciences, to perform experiments and to gain the skill sets needed for college studies. STEM (science, technology, engineering and math
I will be voting to approve the Sequim School District bond in the upcoming election, and I hope this time, there will be enough yes votes to reach the 60 percent supermajority. In November, the proposition nearly passed with 59.55 percent approval. A good school system is vital to a healthy community. While the excellent staff provides high-quality education, the overall standards are lowered by overcrowding and the deteriorating condition of the buildings. Improved facilities will contribute to a better learning environment and will also accommodate the need for modern technology. Do you know that if the bond is approved, local taxes for schools will actually be lower than they were in 2013? The expected rate in 2017 will be $2.16 per $1,000 of assessed property value, whereas in 2013, it was $2.30. Further, the rate is lower than for most other North Olympic Peninsula school districts.

claim persuasive. If she’s telling the truth, then Clinton’s sexual past becomes something more predatory. The slippage between a powerful man’s dalliances and straightforward predation is something that could happen just once. But looked at in the light of a credible rape allegation, there are all sorts of Clinton stories — the Willey and Jones cases, the rumors collected by Jones’ lawyers, the old tales of state troopers being used as procurers, the 2002 globe-trotting on the jet of a billionaire who’s also a convicted statutory rapist — that could suggest a darker pattern, tending toward the Cosby-esque. The truth about Bill Clinton’s past, then, is that we don’t actually know the truth. And even in our tabloid-driven age, it’s quite possible that we simply never will. But if the question is, “Does Bill’s past matter for Hillary’s campaign?” the answer depends less on what we know right now than on what might be waiting to come out.

president strayed with Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky, was forgiven by his wife and daughter, and deserves to have his repentance respected. Then there’s the narrative that I suspect most Americans believe, in which the former president was much more of a tomcat in Arkansas, and probably has tomcatted occasionally in his post-presidency — but always consensually, and lately in ways that have minimized exposure or embarrassment. If either of these narratives is true, then Clinton’s sex life will be a nonissue in 2016. If an adulterer, even a frequent adulterer, is all he is, then an America that didn’t want him impeached in the 1990s isn’t going to object to having him as the first gentleman today. But suppose you believe the Broaddrick story. Liberals dismissed it during the impeachment days, but if you read the summary of the case from the (mostly liberal) Dylan Matthews at the (mostly liberal) website Vox, this dismissal looks unfair. There’s an inescapable hesaid/she-said dynamic, but one need not be a “believe all rape allegations” absolutist to find her

No on bond Attention Sequim renters: You may think you have no stake in the upcoming Sequim School District bond proposal. Think again. Your landlord, who is responsible for the taxes and insurance on the apartment or home you rent, has just been hit by Clallam County with an increase in assessed evaluation for that property. How long do you think it will be before your landlord’s increased costs will be passed on to you in the form of a rent hike? It’s easy to vote yes on a school bond when you will have no financial impact for doing so. The interest on the $54 million bond is $40 mil-
SARC’s ‘ineptitude’ The Sequim Athletic Recreation Center board’s ineptitude destroyed the center. It now obstructs the YMCA’s efforts to revive it. The board should be recalled if it does not resign. The board failed to understand the full cost of operating and sustaining SARC. The full cost is reflected in an operations deficit of $240,000 in 2014 and a projected capital improvements deficit of $280,000 annually over the next five years based on a SARC estimate of $1.4 million in deferred maintenance and currently unfunded

capital improvements. This puts SARC’s total deficit at an estimated $520,000 annually, about double what the board usually asserts. This board’s failure to comprehend its own finances brought SARC down. It now threatens negotiations with the YMCA because neither SARC nor the YMCA can generate sufficient revenues to cover these costs. Without a levy, the YMCA conservatively would have to raise SARC revenues, donations and grants to about $1.4 million annually to cover SARC’s full costs. At least one SARC board member expects the YMCA to pay these full costs. Without levy support, SARC is not economically sustainable, regardless of who operates it. The SARC board was incapable of competently managing SARC. It will be just as incapable of negotiating a workable management contract with the YMCA. The YMCA needs a fair chance to succeed with SARC.

When the state Department of Transportation widened U.S. Highway 101 between Shore Road and Kitchen-Dick Road, the design engineers determined that people in that area should not be allowed to go in the direction they want to go, that they should be forced to go in the wrong direction and then turn around and go the right direction. For our safety. Here is how “indirect left turns” work, in contrast to the “old technology”: At R-Corner, for example, drivers cross, from a dead stop, two lanes of traffic to get to a safe zone between the east- and westbound lanes, then drive down an acceleration lane in the direction they wanted to go to merge with traffic. For Shore-to-KitchenDick drivers, from a stop, we enter traffic going in the wrong direction, find an indirect left turn lane (usually within a couple miles), where we stop again, then cross two lanes of traffic, enter the “safe zone” and U-turn to another stop sign, where we then merge” with 55 mph traffic from a dead stop. I live right by an indirect left turn. I would guess that at least half the time, the traffic already on the road is inconvenienced by the driver’s effort to get from zero to 55 mph. Probably 30 percent to 50 percent of drivers just skip the for-our-safety-Uturn-around and turn right back onto the highway, including the police. Why? Because indirect left turns are stupid. Paul C.

Iowa caucuses’ corny countdown SARAH PALIN IS really falling apart. “Trump’s candidacy, it Gail has exposed Collins not just that tragic, the ramifications of that betrayal of a transformation of our country, but too, he has exposed the complicity on both sides of the aisle that has enabled it, OK?” Palin told the crowd at her big announcement endorsing Donald Trump. The man himself was standing next to her, with a half-smile. Hard to tell if it was self-satisfaction or the look someone might get when trapped at a dinner party next to a stranger who’s describing how she met President William Henry Harrison in a past life. Even though Palin seemed to have a script, it didn’t help. “He is from the private sector, not a politician. “Can I get a hallelujah? “Where in the private sector you actually have to balance budgets in order to prioritize, to keep the main thing, the main thing, and he knows the main thing,” she continued. Got that? It’s been quite a while since the world outside the Tea Party has checked in on Sarah Palin, but I think it’s safe to say there hasn’t been a whole lot of personal growth. The absolute high point of her rather long, rambling address was the moment when she complained that the United States pays for Middle Eastern “squirmishes.” The next day, Palin spoke at another Trump rally, where she appeared to blame Barack Obama’s veterans policy for her son’s domestic violence arrest this week. Republicans seem currently OK with blaming the president for anything, including sunspots. But even some of them must have found it a little creepy.
Still, Trump has been having a super week. Palin wasn’t even the high point. That came when Iowa’s sixterm Republican governor, Terry Branstad, urged voters to reject Trump’s main competitor, Ted Cruz. “Ted Cruz is ahead right now. But what we’re doing is, we’re trying to do is educate the people of Iowa. He is the biggest opponent of renewable fuels,” Branstad told a news conference. “Renewable fuels” is code for the government ethanol program, which has been stupendously profitable for the Iowa corn industry. Cruz has broken one of the great traditions of the Iowa caucus (First in the Nation! Forever!), which is that every major presidential candidate falls down to worship Big Corn. Iowa’s many, many corn farmers have always gotten lots of government aid — the Environmental Working Group says that between 1995 and 2012, they received more than $15 billion in subsidies. On top of that, we’ve got the ethanol program, which requires gasoline to be mixed with biofuel, usually corn. This causes corn prices to soar and creates environmental problems due to overplanting. “A triple-layer subsidy cake,” said Scott Faber of the EWG. All this is the opposite of fiscal conservatism, but generally, politicians find a way to evolve on the subject when they get to Iowa. This year, Cruz has hung tough. Perhaps it’s because he’s close to Big Oil, which wants the gas tanks for itself. But whatever the reason, he’s paying the price. A pro-ethanol group, which happens to be led by the governor’s son, ran a mess of ads against him. Cruz seemed to waver, then stiffened. Out charged Branstad with his warning. A popular governor’s antipa-
thy could be a big deal. Let’s take a minute to feel sympathy for Ted Cruz. Poor guy. OK, time’s up. “Dear Friend,” wrote Cruz to his mailing list Wednesday. “I literally have no time to explain. . . . The longest-serving Republican career politician in the nation and his politically connected family is coordinating with establishment politicians and super PACs to lead an 11thhour attack against us and sink our campaign.” Ted said he is responding with “everything I have.” But that would be much easier if he had another $265,000 in donations posthaste. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is supremely happy. “The governor just made a very big statement that was appreciated by many,” he told a gathering of — yes! — the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association before going on to announce that he was not only in favor of requiring corn in every tankful of gas, but he wanted to see the proportion go higher. “As president I will encourage Congress to be cautious in attempting to . . . change any part of the RFS,” he continued. That would be renewable fuel standard. Trump was reading this speech, which he claimed he had written himself. It was deep into ethanol-speak. All of you who think he’s still just a free spirit flying around the country saying whatever the hell comes into his mind, be aware. This is now an increasingly careful politician. Cruz, he said, without actually mentioning any names, is a tool of the oil companies. “He goes wherever the votes are,” Trump said contemptuously. None of that here, God knows.

De Blasio’s aim off on Oscars BECAUSE THE CRIME rate is zero, the potholes are all fixed and homelessness has been completely eradicated, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio now has time to focus on what really matters to Big Apple taxpayers: Racial quotas in HollyMichelle wood. Social jusMalkin tice warrior de Blasio took to Twitter last week to lambaste the 2016 Academy Awards nominations, which did not include any black actors or actresses. “#OscarsSoWhite says it all,” de Blasio carped. “[Wife] @Chirlane and I are sick of only one kind of America being celebrated.” Radical race-hustling director Spike Lee is leading a boycott of the awards ceremony scheduled next month in Los Angeles. Actress Jada Pinkett Smith, whose actor/director husband Will Smith was snubbed for his performance in the NFL drama “Concussion,” took to Facebook this week to rally “people of color” not to watch or attend the gala event. Director Michael Moore hitched himself to the whiny wagon of 1 percenters. Pressure is mounting on host and comedian Chris Rock to bow out in solidarity. A panicked Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (who is black), is promising expedited “change” to mollify the grievance mob led by
shakedown artist Al Sharpton. They’ll never admit it, but for the guardians of the Academy, “change” means inevitable quotabased admissions to their elite club, where new candidates must traditionally be sponsored by two current members and demonstrate “exceptional achievement in the field of theatrical motion pictures.” The transformation is “not coming as fast as we would like,” Isaacs bleated as she vowed to take more aggressive steps to “diversify” as part of the Academy’s “A2020” plan. Is this what “people of color” in the performing arts really want? Fealty based first and foremost on skin tone and not on talent and ability? Specially appointed members of the Academy chosen solely because of their race, gender or oppressed status who will be beholden to vote only for fellow tokens from their respective tribes? What exactly will make the likes of Spike Lee and company happy if not de facto or de jure Oscars quotas and affirmative action points for minority entertainers? Do they think ghettoized new categories for “Best Black Actor” and “Best Black Actress” constitute progress and equality? Do they honestly believe that casting doubt on the achievements of all non-white thespians who earn nominations as a result of this politically correct hectoring is good for the profession? Now, let’s call de Blasio and his bean-counting wife out on the red carpet. If this “diversity”-driven duo is truly “sick” of Hollywood’s white cis-hetero-patriarchal oppressors, are they ready to boy-
cott the billions that the entertainment industry pours into New York City until their utopian ideals of manufactured racial parity are achieved? In an open love letter to Tinseltown in 2014, de Blasio boasted that since 2004, “Hollywood’s financial imprint on our city has grown from $5 billion to $7.1 billion.” The self-proclaimed warrior against income inequality enthusiastically doubled down on government subsidy programs to the Hollywood elite, vowing to “maintain the policies and practices that spurred this expansion while strategically investing in new projects to grow and diversify the industry.” “Investing,” of course, means using the power of government to redistribute the hard-earned tax dollars of lower- and middleincome workers to millionaire and billionaire studio owners in the TV and film industry. On top of the city’s subsidies, New York State offers myriad special tax breaks, credits, and rebates worth an estimated $420 million to lure Hollywood to the East Coast. De Blasio’s bowing and scraping bordered on an R-rating. “In New York City, the TV and film industry has a true partner,” he gushed, “not to mention a mayor who will always be slightly in awe of the work you do.” Hooked on Hollywood cash, de Blasio’s outrage about #OscarsSoWhite is so contrived it bounces like a fake check. As usual, the left’s hashtag warriors are all show and no go.

Arena lawsuit SEATTLE — A University of Washington alumnus said parts of the school’s arena and the university’s ticket pricing violate the Americans with Disabilities Act. KOMO-TV reported that Conrad Reynoldson sued the UW in federal court, saying he wasn’t able to attend any basketball games in the student section of Alaska Airlines Arena because it lacked wheelchair-accessible seating. Reynoldson has muscular dystrophy and relies on a power chair to get around. In his lawsuit filed last month, he said all wheelchair-accessible seats are in the arena’s expensive sections, forcing disabled fans to pay a higher price. Reynoldson attended UW School of Law from 2011 to 2014 and is now an attorney specializing in cases involving the disabled. A representative of the school’s athletic department declined to comment, citing pending litigation.

Teen charged SPOKANE — A teenager has been charged with driving under the influence after a Spokane police officer ran a red light and struck the teen’s car. The Spokesman-Review reported that court documents say Officer Seth Killian ran a red light Dec. 8 and crashed into a car driven by a 16-year-old boy. Officers say the teen smelled like marijuana and had bloodshot and glassy eyes. Documents say he admitted to smoking marijuana two hours before the crash. Spokane police are still investigating. Killian was at fault, but Internal Affairs Lt. Justin Lundgren said the department will review whether Killian could have prevented the crash. Killian was not drugtested. Lundgren said it’s only policy to test officers involved in collisions if there’s reasonable suspicion that they’re impaired.

PORT ANGELES — The Bachs and Beethovens of the future are prepping for this weekend’s Young Artist Competitions, hosted by the Port Angeles Symphony.

Eclectic sounds on mandolin Saturday BY DIANE URBANI DE LA PAZ PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
The Mighty Dreadful, aka Kelly Erb and Clayton Kaiser, are bringing their music to Coyle’s community center for a matinee concert Sunday.
Mighty Dreadful set for Sunday in Coyle BY DIANE URBANI DE LA PAZ PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
COYLE — When this guitar man came to rural Jefferson County to play with the band The Fire Inside last year, he gave the gig a good review. “This is great. This is awesome,” Clayton Kaiser said of the Concerts in the Woods, Norm Johnson’s folk music series at the community center on the Toandos Peninsula. So when he and singerfiddle player Kelly Erb formed a new duo and recorded an album, “The Saturday Session,” at Seattle’s Heartgold Studios last fall, they reconnected with Johnson to book a show out here. The duo, called The Mighty Dreadful, will arrive at 3 p.m. Sunday for a matinee concert at the Laurel B. Johnson Community Center, 923 Hazel Point Road, where admission is by donation and listeners of all ages are welcome.
And as ever, complimentary coffee and cookies are served during the break. “We’re a bluegrassy, rockabilly, country, swing duo,” Kaiser said in an interview this week, adding that he and Erb dish out “a good mix of originals we’ve come up with together,” plus traditional songs that are time- and road-tested. These tunes are reworked, according to the Mighty Dreadful Duo’s www.reverbnation.com site, “to satiate two down-toearth Puget Sound musicians.” But what’s this Mighty Dreadful stuff? Kaiser admitted he couldn’t quite recall how they chose the moniker. “We needed a name,” he said. Now he just hopes people will see the self-referential humor. Erb and Kaiser found each other on the www. craigslist.com music listings. She grew up in Oregon
and started her musical life with the classical violin, the Salem Youth Symphony and the Salem Chamber Orchestra. When not practicing or giving recitals, she could be found listening — for hours on end — to her father’s classic rock and country LPs. Today, Erb plays fiddle and sings with the Celtic band Jug of Punch while slaking her thirst for stylistic fusion. Using improvisation and an open mind, she likes to erase the lines between genres. Kaiser, meantime, is also busy with multiple projects: playing with The Fire Inside and with other bands including Winston and the Churchills and the Shrub Steppe Steppers. To find out more about the Mighty Dreadful and other artists coming to play in these parts, see www. CoyleConcerts.com or contact Johnson at 360-7653449 or johnson5485@msn. com.

Why is there hostility between varying faiths? THE WATCHWORD OF Judaism, Shema Israel Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad, means “Hear O Israel the Lord our God, the Lord is One” and says volumes about the nature of God. Rabbi Lawrence Kushner elaborates on this when he says: “And the last secret is that everything is One. . . . At night when you lie down, In the morning when you get up, when you go for a walk, when you stay home, the whisper is always the same — ‘The Lord is One’ (Honey From the Rock).” Virtually all religions in the world, from major world traditions to indigenous practices, acknowledge a belief in a creative power that Western religions call God. Each faith has its own way of defining God and establishing a belief system, which helps its followers find meaning in their lives and brings structure and comfort to its adherents.
Different names, same essence Different faiths have their own names for the same essence that is God: the Great Spirit, Allah, Adonai, Jesus, Lord, Atman, the Universal Soul, the Goddess, Shechinah, Jehovah, the Eternal, the Creator, the Mystery. All these names are human constructs referring to the same entity which, in Judaism, is often referred to as The One, or Ein Sof, The Infinite. If there is one infinite creative force called by different names, why is there such hostility between peo-

Compare the precepts
If we compare the basic precepts of other faiths, such as the Five Pillars of Islam, the Buddhist Eightfold Path and the 10 Commandments followed by Jews, Christians and Muslims, plus the core values of other faiths, we find they all have the same goals.

DEAR ABBY: We recently lost our dog, a 13-year-old springer spaniel, to old age. His passing has left a huge hole in our hearts and lives. We miss his companionship, his personality and the structure that caring for him brought to our lives. We’re 51 and 60, own our home and are financially secure. Some of our friends are discouraging us from adopting another dog. They say we travel too much. Last year, we spent 12 weeks away from home. When we travel, we hire a trusted pet sitter to move into the house and attend to all our dog’s needs. Our pet always seemed happy and healthy when we returned. I anticipate that we will continue to travel a similar amount in the future, but I’m not sure we will enjoy coming home to a house that has no dog to welcome us back. Abby, should a retired couple who travels adopt a dog? Pet Lover in Mexico

Dear Sad: Write Violet a short, sweet note. Tell her that you care about her, have always treasured her friendship and hope it will continue. Let her know that when she feels like talking, you will be there for her. It’s really all you can do at this point. After that, the ball will be in her court and you should not sit by the phone waiting for a call. Go on with your life and your other friendships as before. If she responds, terrific. If not, it will be her loss. Do not make it yours.
________ Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, the late Pauline Phillips. Letters can be mailed to Dear Abby, P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069 or via email by logging onto www.dearabby.com.

house. Or turn your engine off, lock the car and go inside and get him.
Dear Abby: My friend of 25 years, “Violet,” moved back to town a few months ago after living far away for the past 10 years. Whereas we’ve always called and confided in each other often, now that she’s here, I rarely see her, never talk with her and receive polite but curt refusals to do anything together. I know the move was stressful for her, and I suspect the problem is more about her than me. But I am really hurt, and I miss her. My last request to get together and talk was met with, “I’m only doing what I feel I can enjoy and manage.” It seems like that doesn’t include our friendship. Should I simply leave my old friend alone, or is there something you can suggest? Just Plain Sad
Dear Abby: My neighbor complains of cars honking at 8 in the morning. I have done this only three times when I have taken my son to school. I wait in the car for him, but if he’s late by a couple of minutes, I’ll honk. The neighbors think it’s rude because they have a 3-year-old who’s asleep at that time. Do I confront them? What do you suggest? On a Schedule in California
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t give in to emotional manipulation at home or at work. Be straightforward about what you will and will not do. Anger never solves anything, but honesty, compromises and reasonable solutions do. Leave time for romance, as it will ease your stress. 2 stars

DEAR ABBY
Dear Pet Lover: At ages 51 and 60, if you and your husband are in good health, I see no reason why you shouldn’t adopt another dog if you wish. Consider adopting one that is no longer a puppy. Shelters and rescue organizations are good places to adopt an older dog that needs a loving home.

A deal you have been working on will turn in your favor if you are innovative in the way you present your intentions. Romance is highlighted, and a commitment will lead to a brighter future. 3 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your eagerness to help others must not come at the expense of your health.

You don’t have to go it alone. 3 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take time out to do the things that will bring you the most in return, whether it’s improving your appearance or your professional qualifications.

Lanza will offer a solo set featuring “The Maiden and the Nightingale” by Enrique Granados, “Secreto” from Federico Mompou and Debussy’s prelude titled “What the West Wind Saw.” And as she recently did in her own concerts in Port Townsend and Port Angeles, the pianist will join Marrowstone Island cellist Madelyn Kowalski for Gaspar Cassado’s “Requiebros.” Radebaugh will join Port Townsend vocalist Robin Bessier for a set of her original songs, mostly from their soon-to-be-finished recording. “Destination Ahead,” “It’s Right Inside,” and “Ride the Wind,” are Bessier’s compositions, and “Siren” comes
Pianist George Radebaugh and vocalist Robin Bessier are two of the artists appearing in the Steinway piano celebration at the Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship this Saturday evening. from Radebaugh’s pen. If they have time, the pair will also offer one or two standards, possibly Cole Porter’s “Get Out of Town” and Duke Ellington’s “Prelude to a Kiss.” “We’re both looking forward to making music with this wonderful piano,” Bessier said of the Steinway, shipped last June to Fandrich & Sons of Stanwood for a major restoration. The instrument has returned to
the fellowship hall with new German shanks, hammers from Steinway & Sons in New York, new key buttons and a hand-crafted pinblock. Each key has been balanced using lead weights and multiple tunings, according to fellowship members Bob Francis and Pat Rodgers. “The instrument was returned in August, has settled back in,” they write, “and now is ready to share once again with the community.”

From Flying Strings to FarmStrong, Snowgrass stands tall BY DIANE URBANI

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — They all do it for love: of music, the little ones and their folks. Snowgrass, Port Angeles’ 14th annual bluegrass-and-roots festival this Saturday night, is one melodious party for players and listeners, all to raise spirits and funds for First Step Family Support Center, the 43-year-old agency serving young families in Clallam County. “All of the performers are completely donating their time and effort,” said First Step marketing coordinator Amber Hosken, “and we are so grateful for that.” Doors of the Port Angeles High School Performing Arts Center open at 6 p.m. Saturday with the first of four bands starting at 6:30. General admission is $12 in advance or $14 at the door, while seniors come for $9 no matter when they buy their tickets. Children 10 and younger are admitted free. Dave and Rosalie Secord, Mr. and Mrs. of ceremonies this year, will first bring onto the stage the Flying Strings, the Port Angeles quintet with youth on its side. Singer-guitarist Elizabeth Watkins, 16, is the eldest member besides her father, bandleader Al Watkins; the youngest is fiddle player Imogen Fraser, 9. Elizabeth was cagey about which songs are in the 30-minute set for this, the band’s fourth Snowgrass. But of all the music she makes — in the Port Angeles High School Symphonic Orchestra and in the Bella Voce and Vocal Unlimited choirs — this gig is one of the high points. “It’s just a really fun concert. The energy is so high,” said the teen. Also on Saturday’s docket: the Forks ensemble Crescent Blue, featuring Snowgrass founder Barney Munger along with “songbird of Sappho” Mary Meyer, Dave Lenahan and Ken Lambert. They’re all harmony singers and string players, and they have a guest artist too, in banjoist

While Crescent Blue is a longtime Snowgrass participant, there’s also Tony Flagg’s Trio, a band brand-new to the event. With singer-acoustic bassist Strider Yocum, singer-mandolinist Ed Schmid and singer-guitar man Gary Korb, the trio’s repertoire ranges from Grateful Dead songs to the Searchers’ 1965 hit “Love Potion No. 9.” FarmStrong, the Sequim-based quartet known all over the Northwest for its “bluegrass and beyond” sound is the headliner. These four men also dip into musical history, with their distinctive interpretation of the Temptations’ “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone” alongside The Band’s “Ophelia” and even the Cars’ “Drive.” Saturday night presents a chance to see FarmStrong before they head for Wintergrass, the big bluegrass gathering in Bellevue next month, and pick up a copy of their CD “Forever.” To pick up Snowgrass tickets in advance, stop in at Port Book and News, 104 E.

PROFILES IN EXCELLENCE — AN INTRODUCTION by JENNIFER LINDE, AMY MCDONALD and BILL GREENWOOD, Clallam County Economic Development Corporation
“I know how to lift some men up, calm down others, until they are one heartbeat, together, a team.” — Legendary football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant, who during his 25-year tenure as the University of Alabama’s head football coach amassed six national championships and 13 conference championships. The Economic Development Corporation (EDC) has been chartered to be the “economic engine” of Clallam County. Through its members — many of whom are celebrated in this special report — the EDC aims to pull together all the businesses who grow, harvest, manufacture, create, sell and provide services to customers on the North Olympic Peninsula and throughout the world. In doing so, EDC members are increasing jobs, hiring local people, building the wage base and delivering taxes that allow area cities and the county to provide our infrastructure. The members of the EDC aim to work in concert with public officials and with the Port of Port Angeles to
make Clallam County the most vibrant and exhilarating place to live and work in the Pacific Northwest. Members strive every day to help move area citizens toward that “one heartbeat,” which is the essence of any winning organization. The EDC was given birth as a nonprofit corporation in 1985 by the state Department of Commerce to perform the assignment cited above. Using many tools available through the state departments of commerce and revenue, the EDC is able to provide a host of valuable tax incentives, alternative lending sources, and a wide array of business services and advice. It also serves as a catalyst in bringing together customers with providers of goods and services. Importantly, with its members, the EDC is also the primary recruiter of new businesses to Clallam County. What follows in this special report is a series of business stories titled “Profiles in Excellence.” The companies and institutions described represent only a fraction of the great companies that make up our community. More such stories will follow in future supplements in the local newspapers of Sound Publishing. The companies you will learn about have a passion for excellence and demonstrate a common theme:
“There are only two ways to create and sustain superior performance over the long haul. First, take exceptional care of your customers via superior service and superior quality. Second, constantly innovate. That’s it. There are no alternatives in achieving longterm superior performance, or sustaining strategic competitive advantage.” — Tom Peters and Nancy Austin, authors of “A Passion For Excellence: The Leadership Difference.”

A click on each member’s logo will take you to each business’ website. This feature has proved to be an excellent way to market Clallam County. BUSINESS RECRUITMENT — While the EDC team has approached a long list of companies that are interested in locating here, and has hosted numerous corporate visits to the county, we have invested our most major effort in overcoming what outside companies see as key “barriers to entry.” These are the need for direct flights to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac) and schools that are not falling apart. The lack of regular direct connecting flights from William R. Fairchild International Airport to SeaTac, a major necessity for our local economy in a business world gone global, has been a major negative. When Kenmore Air departed, the EDC team — with encouragement from both the Port of Port Angeles and the City of Port Angeles — went on to make direct contact with Alaska Airlines and Delta Air Lines to “sell them” on commencing service to Fairchild. A number of EDC members (along with the city and the port) participated as a welcoming committee for the first visit here by Alaska Airlines’ management team which was arranged and hosted by the EDC. The recruitment process proceeded to take many a turn through 2015. But through an introduction to the port by Alaska Airlines (whose 76-seat planes were determined to be too large for our market), a smaller airline, SeaPort Airlines of Portland, has agreed to start direct flights to SeaTac on March 1. Our next challenge as a community is to fill those flights, to make the service profitable for SeaPort Airlines, and to encourage the creation of a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) team at the airport so that direct connections to both Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines can be fast and easy. The deteriorating infrastructure of area schools has proven to be our most serious recruiting issue. We do not know of one EDC member who would vote against the recent bond issues that were defeated in Port Angeles and Sequim in 2015. The EDC is firmly behind the Citizens for Sequim Schools and hopes for a positive upcoming vote, and has been urging the citizens of Port Angeles to follow Sequim’s lead. Every minute counts. The costs of construction have already risen and bond rates are likely to rise as well. As Eric Lewis, chief executive officer of Olympic Medical Center, has pointed out: We can’t recruit good doctors if we can’t provide first-rate schools. And the EDC can’t recruit first-rate private sector employers to Clallam County for the same reason. As W.C. Handy said: “Life is something like this trumpet. If you don’t put anything in it, you don’t get anything out. And that’s the truth.” William Christopher “W.C.” Handy was an American blues composer and musician.

HURRICANE RIDGE VETERINARY HOSPITAL by BILL GREENWOOD, Clallam County Economic Development Corporation executive director
Picture an 18-year-old woman from Tacoma fresh out of high school and not at all sure what she wants to do in her life. For no particular reason, she volunteers at Tacoma Cat Hospital. Inspired by a doctor named Craig Smith, she initially decides to seek a complex science degree at the University of Puget Sound. Soon, however, this young woman recognizes the right place for what she wants to do is in the programs offered by Washington State University. Off she goes and gets, first, a bachelor of science degree in microbiology and then enters a four-year program at the school where she earns a doctorate in veterinary medicine. This final degree involves performing plenty of complex surgeries on animals starting with the brain on down. Does she love what she does? Is she driven to deliver excellent results? A long list of patients (or their owners) in Sequim would shout “yes” to the rooftops. The young doctor’s name is Toni Jensen. Following graduation, she returned to Tacoma to bring her skills to the Columbia Veterinary Hospital. Jensen might still be there today were it not for a fine young man from Port Angeles and Port Angeles
Hardwood named Ruairi Cussen. They were determined to be married, but Cussen insisted that they live in Clallam County. So in August 2012, Jensen opened a small veterinary hospital — Hurricane Ridge Veterinary Hospital at 530 W. Fir St. in Sequim. Some pet owners complained about her prices, but they were quickly won over. “I have to make money for the hospital to survive,” Jensen said. “I think people understand that.” Here’s what some of those people say: “Toni Jensen … is my hero. She saved my dog’s life. She is knowledgeable and loves the animals. My dogs love her too.” — Vicki McCormack “Dr. J., Allyson [McLaughlin] and Laura [Shaw] are the best … caring, compassionate and knowledgeable.” — Coleen Imbarrato “We call her ‘Toni Jensen, the miracle doctor.’ I asked if my husband and I could make appointments for us but she is too busy saving dogs.” — Nina Bilodeau Jensen has survived and in the summer made plans to open a larger hospital at Seventh Avenue and Hendrickson Road, where she will nearly triple her team, including adding another doctor with credentials similar to hers. The new structure will be the first brand new build-

ing for a new business opened in Sequim in more than seven years. Getting approval through the city’s planners has not been easy, but the project moves forward. Jensen and Cussen married 3½ years ago. They’ve been too busy for a honeymoon, but maybe by summer.

A LOYAL FRIEND — JAMESTOWN S’KLALLAM TRIBE by BETTY OPPENHEIMER, Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe publications specialist and BILL GREENWOOD, Clallam County Economic Development Corporation executive director
It should come as no surprise that the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe supports the Clallam County Economic Development Corporation, since both organizations believe in fostering a diverse business climate in our region. The tribe’s vision is to become fully self-reliant, and not dependent on federal resources to serve the tribal community. Significant progress toward achieving this goal has been made, under the leadership of Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Chairman and Chief Executive Officer W. Ron Allen, who has served as chairman since 1977. When the S’Klallam people entered into the Point No Point Treaty with the United States in 1855, they resisted removal to the reservation at Skokomish. In order to remain on their usual and accustomed lands, in 1874, 17 S’Klallam families from in and around Dungeness pooled their funds to purchase 210-acres of land, which became Jamestown. Citizens of the tribe supported themselves by gardening, farming, fishing and working in the pulp mills in the surrounding area. Establishing Jamestown clearly demonstrated not
only their entrepreneurial spirit, but their willingness to be a part of the community of settlers that was growing around them. A collaborative spirit and desire to engage in mutually beneficial partnerships continue to be hallmarks of all of the tribe. Tribal citizens received services from the federal government until 1953 when the government ceased recognizing them as Indians. In the 1970s, Public Law 93-638 first allowed tribes to take over and manage programs and services that had been controlled by the federal government for years. But without federal recognition, the Jamestown S’Klallam could not participate. As soon as the U.S. government established a federal recognition process, the Jamestown S’Klallam petitioned the government in 1976, and received official federal recognition on Feb. 10, 1981. The tribe is a self-governing nation. But because the tribe does not have a tax-base like other governments, only through profitable economic development can it produce sufficient revenue base for the programs and services that it provides to tribal citizens. In 2014, business activities provided 37 percent of the tribe’s total budget. “We have always pursed our business ventures only after conducting our due-diligence assessment, and have never been averse to taking risks,” Allen said. “We firmly

believe a successful tribal business foundation not only serves the tribe for future generations, but serves the local community as well, in creating employment and thereby enhancing the tax-base for the local governments.” >> JAMESTOWN S’KLALLAM TRIBE continued on Page 13

During the past 30 years, the tribe has become one of Clallam County’s largest employers, opening businesses in many different sectors including tourism, entertainment, building trades, technology, construction and health care. Partnerships have enabled the small tribe to have a big impact on not only tribal citizens, but the entire local community — to everyone’s benefit. Since the tribal economy is so closely integrated into the regional economy, the tribe utilizes every opportunity for cooperation and partnerships with local and regional, public and private planning groups to further its goals and objectives, as well as those of the region. One of those partnerships has been with the Clallam County Economic Development Corporation, with which it shares a belief in the power of economic development as a means to self-sufficiency — for individuals and families as well as entire communities. The tribe has been a member of the EDC in good standing since 1997. Doug Sellon, the executive director of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe’s Economic Development Authority, has served as the tribe’s representative to the EDC board for more than 10 years, bringing the tribal perspective and vision to that body. He currently serves as the vice chair of the board. Over the years, the tribe has contributed to the EDC’s
coffers; most recently stepping up with a three-year commitment of $7,500 per year to help with the EDC’s reorganization effort and new initiatives. The tribe firmly believes in the promising economic future and opportunity for the North Olympic Peninsula. It believes that only through collaborative efforts can a common vision develop a diversity of business and employment opportunities building a strong, vibrant economy.

MAKING YOUR OWN LUCK — KOKOPELLI GRILL by BILL GREENWOOD, Clallam County Economic Development Corporation executive director
It was 2009 and Candy and Michael McQuay had decided to move from Texas back to Michael’s original roots in the Pacific Northwest. With degrees from South Seattle Community College and Washington State, Michael was a classically-trained chef whose apprenticeship had been at Seattle’s Westin Hotel. He and Candy were looking for a restaurant — to run. After some searching they found themselves one day on Front Street in Port Angeles in front of a building with the sign: Kokopelli Grill. Kokopelli had failed as a restaurant and had been closed for more than two and a half years. Michael’s well-trained sense for real estate told him this was the right place. On Dec. 2, 2009, he and Candy leased the space. And despite all the rules he knew about the bad luck that follows a failed location in the restaurant business, he kept the name. Following a long and careful renovation with the front of the house in Candy’s care, the couple opened in 2010 and set about building a reputation. Which they did. They built a reputation for excellent service, superb Southwest cuisine and local fresh seafood, steaks and
produce, with a cozy bar and a solid wine list. The populace slowly woke up to the fact that Kokopelli was a pretty fine spot, and revenues have never increased less than 20 percent per year. By the end of 2015, revenues had increased 150 percent since 2010. Along the way, the McQuays developed a reputation as people who are passionate and who work their hearts out to deliver the goods. They also employ and care for a loyal staff of 32. “We believe in treating everyone from vendors to customers to employees with the utmost respect and dignity. That always comes before profit,” Michael said. Prior to moving to Port Angeles, Michael had founded Principle Equity Investments in Houston with his brother Randy. Until the recent recession, Principle Equity Investments acquired, managed, developed, and renovated more than $400 million in commercial properties throughout the U.S. and employed 150 people. The company has scaled back of necessity but remains successful and is run full-time by Randy. That long experience in development causes Michael and Candy to cast an experienced eye upon the commercial prospects of the Port Angeles waterfront. In October of 2015, a new bar and lounge was opened with beautiful views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the skyline.

EXECUTING A VISION — SHERWOOD ASSISTED LIVING by BILL GREENWOOD, Clallam County Economic Development Corporation executive director
By 1972, Dr. Robert Littlejohn was a highly-respected physician in the country town of Sequim. He had a vision of building both a retirement community and a staged system of assisted living facilities that would carry a family straight into their final years with care and comfort. Starting with an 80-acre farm that existed a few blocks from downtown Sequim, Robert and his son Bill began to slowly create a setting of well-tended and expansive green lawns, trees and shrubbery that is an image of America’s finest college campuses. Today, Littlejohn’s vision exists in three distinct entities: The Fifth Avenue, the Lodge at Sherwood Village and Sherwood Assisted Living. The Fifth Avenue is an independent retirement community for people who want an active lifestyle without the responsibilities of home and yard maintenance. The Lodge at Sherwood Village offers upscale, vacation-style living with all the comforts of home. Sherwood Assisted Living offers a high-level of care, providing 24-hour nursing staff for those who are in need of help for the daily tasks of living. It is easy to see a couple buying a home at The Fifth Avenue and later on moving to the next level of The Lodge at Sherwood Village as the years take their
inevitable toll. All were carefully stitched together during the past 43 years by Esther and Bill Littlejohn. Remarkably for its residents — Sherwood Assisted Living is the only locally owned and operated assisted living community on the North Olympic Peninsula. If you take a walk with Bill around his “campus” the personal touch is easy to see. He works side-by-side with his “working managers;” driving a tractor, mowing the lawns, doing anything necessary to keep the 80-acre patch of ground clean and beautiful. If you drop in with him at the Lodge at Sherwood Village, you will see smiles and wisecracks from the residents fly his way as he passes with a greeting and a shy smile. Bill’s not the boss. He’s their friend and neighbor. Relics from the Littlejohn family past hang on the walls. The food in the dining room looks great. On a clear day the view across the expanse of green to the mountains is staggering. This is a very comfortable spot. Many of Bill’s employees have been on the job for a very long time. He doesn’t lose people. He keeps them. What do those employees say? “Bill has a reputation in our community for being generous in a way that goes well beyond the monetary. He is generous in spirit. He wants you to know that you are at home,” said Cindy McClain, administrative assistant of Littlejohn Companies.

Bill and Esther Littlejohn established three locally owned and operated retirement communities in Sequim.
Quality Health Care – Locally Owned and Operated Established in 1951, Olympic Medical Center (Clallam County Public Hospital District No. 2) has always been a beacon of hope and economic vitality for the Clallam County community. OMC is operated locally with the oversight of a seven-member, publicly-elected board of commissioners. As such, we remain committed to the vision of delivering world-class care right here at home. We take pride in the investments we’ve made to allow us to offer our community the health care services it needs and deserves. We’ve grown so much and we’ve come so far, but health care is rapidly changing and we can never stop thinking about our future.
