Lawmakers slash into state deficit More than half-billion cut in only one day By Curt Woodward The Associated Press

OLYMPIA — State lawmakers quickly approved a plan to shrink the state’s $1.1 billion deficit in a one-day special session Saturday, a preview of heavier budgetbalancing work that lies ahead. The Legislature’s bipartisan plan cuts state spending, raids off-budget accounts and counts on stepped-up collection of existing taxes to trim about $590 million from the deficit through June. Further spending cuts and other steps identified by Gov. Chris Gregoire could subtract about $110 million more from the deficit. The rest will have to be addressed in Gregoire’s proposed supplemental budget. Gregoire signed the Legislature’s bills into law Saturday night. “I am very proud of what the Legislature was able to do today and how they did it,” Gregoire said. Turn

Yep, we’re cool! And PT’s cool secret might be getting known in a national contest By Charlie Bermant Peninsula Daily News

PORT TOWNSEND — In what has been obvious to many residents for some time, Port Townsend is in the running to be honored as the coolest small town in America as part of a contest sponsored by Budget Travel magazine. “We are hoping we TO VOTE ... can get people to vote ■ Voting is for us online,” said Port done online Townsend marketing at http:// director Christina Pivtinyurl.com/ arnik, who will make a ptiscool steady effort to drum up votes prior to the Feb. 11 deadline. The winners will be featured in the September 2011 issue, which is appropriate because that month — with the Wooden Boat Festival, the Port Townsend Film Festival and early October’s Kinetic Skulpture races — is just about the coolest time to be in Port Townsend. The winners of this contest won’t get any cash — only bragging rights that translate into promotional currency.

Call for nominations heard The magazine called for nominations of towns with populations of 10,000 or less that have unique cultural identities. Eighty towns were nominated, and Port Townsend — described by one resident as having “a critical mass of crazy people” — made the cut for the top 20. It is the only town in the running in

Paper mill in PT is 8 years newer Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — Eric Childers was 10 or 11 when he pressed the magic button. As a child, he was a frequent visitor to the Crown Zellerbach paper mill in Port Angeles where his father worked. But this was something special — his dad let him start a winder, which rolls finished paper onto giant spools at 60 mph. “Being able to have my dad say push the button right there and watch the machine start up was pretty cool,” Childers, 38, recalled recently. “It was fun being able to see what he was doing, too.” Childers, a father of three, works where his father worked, and his father before him, at the plant in Port Angeles now owned by Nippon Paper Industries USA. The mill— which now produces about 160,000 tons of paper annually — will mark its 90th anniversary Tuesday by serving cake to each of the departments in the plant that employs about 200 people. As the anniversary of the mill approached, the third-generation paper maker stood about 20 yards from where he pressed the start button as a child, explaining why he

Both of Childers’ grandfathers were machine tenders at the plant, retiring the same day.

‘Making paper in America’ His mom worked there, too, and an uncle, Larry Wilson, still does, Childers said as machines hissed, whined and clattered in ear-numbing, nonstop unison. “What I like is the fact that, for one, we are making paper in America, and we are

sending paper to Australia, sending paper everywhere,” he said. “It’s kind of nice instead of having stuff being brought in from China. “The pay is good, too,” he added, noting he makes about $23 an hour. “I won’t lie about that.” After working at Nippon for more than four years, he’s also taken a liking to “the whole aspect of being able to just basically hustle and get the job done that you need to get done,” Childers said.

PORT TOWNSEND — Isidore and Harold Zellerbach, who 90 years ago started the mill now owned by Nippon Paper Industries USA Inc. in Port Angeles, also were responsible for building what is now the Port Townsend Paper Corp. mill. The Crown Zellerbach kraft paper mill, doing business as the National Paper Products Co., started operation Monday, Oct. 6, 1928, HistoryLink.org says. Port Townsend was in a severe economic depression between 1890 and 1927 after the Union Pacific Railroad failed to extend tracks and transportation to the town. Many left after the Panic of 1893, with the population dwindling from more than 7,000 to fewer than 2,000. The U.S. Customs Office was moved to Seattle in 1913. The mill changed all that. Port Townsend boomed anew after the Zellerbach Corp. of San Francisco decided to build a kraft paper mill at Glen Cove.

Crowe, Wilson finalize their divorce in L.A. THERE’S NO MORE music between rocker Nancy Wilson and director Cameron Crowe — the couple have finalized their divorce. Court records in Los Angeles showed a judge signed off on the couple’s breakup Wednesday. The Heart singer-guitarist and Academy Awardwinning writer-director resolved their split without fanfare, using a retired judge as a mediator to end their 24-year marriage. Wilson filed for divorce in September. The couple have twin 10-year-old sons. Crowe, director of films such as “Jerry Maguire” and “Say Anything,” won an Oscar for the screenplay for “Almost Famous.” Wilson worked on the soundtracks of several of Crowe’s film and had a cameo in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” which Crowe wrote. The couple have been separated since June 2008.

JAMES MOODY, 85, a jazz saxophonist and flutist celebrated for his virtuosity, his versatility and his onstage ebullience, died Thursday in San Diego. His death, at a hospice, was confirmed by his wife, Linda. Last month, Mr. Moody disMr. Moody closed that in 2009 he had pancreatic cancer and had decided against receiving chemotherapy or radiation treatment. Mr. Moody, who began his career with the trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie shortly after World War II and maintained it well into the 21st century, developed distinctive and equally fluent styles on both tenor and alto saxophone, a relatively rare accomplishment in jazz. He also played soprano saxophone and, in the mid1950s, he became one of the first significant jazz flutists, impressing the critics, if not himself. “I’m not a flute player,”

Peninsula Daily News PENINSULA POLL

he told one interviewer. “I’m a flute holder.” The self-effacing humor of that comment was characteristic of Mr. Moody, who took his music more seriously than he took himself. Musicians admired him for his dexterity, his unbridled imagination and his devotion to his craft, as did critics. But audiences were equally taken by his ability to entertain. Defying the stereotype of the modern jazz musician as austere and humorless (and following the example of Gillespie, whom he considered his musical mentor and with whom he worked on and off for almost half a century), Mr. Moody told silly jokes, peppered his repertory with unlikely numbers like “Beer Barrel Polka” and the theme from “The Flintstones,” and often sang. His singing voice was unpolished but enthusiastic — and very distinctive, partly because he spoke and sang with a noticeable lisp, a result of having been born partly deaf. Mr. Moody’s career was twice interrupted by alcoholism. His final three decades

were productive, with frequent touring and recording (as the leader of his own small group and, on occasion, as a sideman with Gillespie, who died in 1993) and even a brief foray into acting, with a bit part in the 1997 Clint Eastwood film “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,” set in Mr. Moody’s birthplace, Savannah, Ga. The National Endowment for the Arts named him a Jazz Master in 1998. For all his accomplishments, Mr. Moody always saw his musical education as a work in progress. “I’ve always wanted to be around people who know more than me,” he told The Hartford Courant in 2006, “because that way I keep learning.”

The vessels didn’t touch, but the tug appeared to be “right against the side of the ferry,” one witness said. The school’s secretary said the incident frightened some of the children — who were on the ferry’s top deck and saw the tug as it approached — but most on the field trip to the Pacific Science Center thought it was the “high point of our day.”

Briefly: Nation Alaska judge throws out Joe Miller’s lawsuit JUNEAU, Alaska — A judge has all but ended tea partybacked Republican Joe Miller’s hopes of getting legal relief in state court in his long-shot challenge of how the state counted write-in votes for incumbent Lisa Murkowski in their Senate race. Miller has until Tuesday to appeal to the Alaska Supreme Court Friday’s decision by Judge William Carey to throw out Miller Miller’s lawsuit. Carey cited past decisions by the high court in his ruling, which takes effect Tuesday. “Nowhere does Miller Murkowski provide facts showing a genuine issue of fraud or election official malfeasance,” the judge wrote. “Instead, the majority of the problematic statements included in the affidavits are inadmissible hearsay, speculation and occasional complaints of sarcasm expressed by DOE [Division of Elections] workers.” Miller spokesman Randy DeSoto said Miller was mulling an appeal and there were still outstanding issues “in terms of wanting to get a true and accu-

rate count, and we don’t feel like we’re there yet.” Murkowski called on Miller to concede.

Snow pounds Midwest MINNEAPOLIS — A powerful snowstorm socked the upper Midwest on Saturday with as much as 20 inches of snow, forcing authorities to close state roads across five states as heavy winds made for treacherous driving conditions.

Briefly: World At least 47 die during attacks in Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan — A NATO airstrike killed at least 25 suspected insurgents in eastern Afghanistan on Saturday, while violence elsewhere left 22 civilians dead in a wave of attacks days before the White House issues a review of U.S. war strategy, officials said. A NATO force on patrol called for air support after coming under threat from insurgents in the Nari district of Kunar province, which has been the scene of heavy fighting along the Pakistani border. NATO said more than 25 militants were killed in the airstrike. The coalition said another NATO unit in the Dara Pech district of Kunar killed an unspecified number of insurgents after coming under fire from small arms and rocket-propelled grenades. Also in the east, about 500 people gathered Saturday in Paktia province, shouting “Death to Americans!” amid local reports that a NATO operation killed seven members of a private security company. NATO said it was investigating the shootout, which occurred after coalition forces detained a suspected insurgent and tried to clear the area. Coalition forces then shot a man who approached them armed with an assault rifle.

Vatican ‘offended’ VATICAN CITY — Newly released U.S. diplomatic cables

indicate that the Vatican felt “offended” that Ireland failed to respect Holy See “sovereignty” by asking high-ranking churchmen to answer questions from an Irish commission probing decades of sex abuse of minors by clergy. That the Holy See used its diplomatic-immunity status as a tiny city-state to try to thwart the Irish fact-finding probe has long been known. But the WikiLeaks cables, published by Britain’s The Guardian newspaper Saturday, contain delicate, behind-thescenes diplomatic assessments of the highly charged situation. The Vatican press office declined to comment on the content of the cables Saturday but decried the leaks as a matter of “extreme seriousness.”

Explosion in Sweden STOCKHOLM — A car explosion and what appeared to be a suicide attack injured two people, killed the apparent bomber and caused panic among Christmas shoppers in Stockholm on Saturday.

Shortly afterward, a second explosion was heard higher up on the same street, and a man was found injured on the ground. He was later pronounced dead.

President Barack Obama looks on as former President Bill Clinton speaks in the briefing room of the White House in Washington, D.C., on Friday.

Add-ons turn tax bill into ‘Christmas tree’ Sanders gives long, vigorous talk against Obama-GOP deal By Frederic J. Frommer and Mary Clare Jalonick The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In the spirit of the holiday season, President Barack Obama’s tax-cut deal with Republicans is becoming a Christmas tree tinseled with gifts for lobbyists and lawmakers. But that hardly stopped the squabbling Friday, with Bill Clinton even back at the White House pleading the president’s case. While Republicans sat back quietly, mostly pleased, Democrats and other liberals were going at each other ever so publicly. As Clinton lectured on Obama’s behalf, Vermont independent Bernie Sanders castigated the agreement for the TV cameras in the mostly empty Senate chamber. The tax deal, reached behind the scenes and still informal, now includes ethanol subsidies for rural folks, commuter tax breaks for their cousins in the cities and suburbs, and wind and solar grants for the environmentalists — all aimed at winning votes, particularly from reluctant Democrats. The holiday additions are being

hung on the big bill that was Congress’ main reason for spending December in Washington, long after the elections that will give Republicans new power in January. The measure will extend Bushera tax cuts, averting big tax increases for nearly all Americans, and keep jobless benefits flowing. Republicans generally liked that agreement, worked out by Obama and GOP leaders. Democrats generally didn’t, hence the add-ons.

Sanders speaks out It’s all expected to come to a decisive vote next week, total cost by the latest congressional estimate: $857.8 billion. On Friday, there were contrasting events for public consumption. On Capitol Hill, Sanders spoke vigorously for 81⁄2 hours in a virtually empty chamber, urging defeat of a measure he said would give “tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires who don’t need it.” He finally ended his speech,

conceding, “It has been a long day.” At the White House, Obama turned over the briefing room microphone to former President Clinton, who declared, “I don’t believe there is a better deal out there.” All sides, he said, “are going to have to eat some things they don’t like.” The add-ons were being attached behind the scenes. Almost $5 billion in subsidies for corn-based ethanol and a continuing tariff to protect against ethanol imports were wrapped up and placed on the tree Thursday night for farm-state lawmakers and agribusiness lobbyists. Environmentalists won more grants for developers of renewable energy, like wind and solar. For urban lawmakers, there’s a continuation of about-to-expire tax breaks that could save commuters who use mass transit about $1,000 a year. Other popular tax provisions aimed at increasing production of hybrid automobiles, biodiesel fuel, coal and energy-efficient household appliances would be extended through the end of 2011 under the new add-ons. The package also includes an extension of two Gulf Coast tax incentive programs enacted after Hurricane Katrina to spur economic development in Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama.

North Korea: Ready for war; sends top diplomat to Russia By Kim Kwang-Tae The Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea warned Saturday that it is ready for an all-out war even as it dispatched its top diplomat to Russia amid a flurry of regional diplomatic efforts to defuse tensions over the North’s deadly artillery attack on South Korea. North Korean Foreign Minister Pak Ui Chun left for Russia, the North’s official Korean Central News Agency said in a onesentence report. No details were given, but Pak accused South Korea and the United States on Friday of pursuing a policy of hostility and confrontation and reiterated that

Quick Read

North Korea needs its nuclear program to fend them off. “We once again feel convinced that we have made the right choice in strengthening our defenses with the nuclear deterrent,” the Russian news agency Interfax quoted him as saying in an interview. The North’s National Peace Committee also claimed that the U.S. and South Korea are pushing the situation on the Korean peninsula close to all-out war. “The army and people of the [North] are ready for both escalated war and an all-out war,” the committee said in a statement carried by KCNA. “They will deal merciless retaliatory blows at the

provocateurs and aggressors and blow up their citadels and bases.” The harsh rhetoric comes two days after North Korean leader Kim Jong Il met in Pyongyang with Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo, Beijing’s top foreign policy official. The two reached consensus on the situation on the Korean peninsula during candid and in-depth talks, China’s official Xinhua News Agency said, without elaborating. It was not clear whether the two discussed the North’s Nov. 23 artillery attack on a South Korean island near the Koreas’ disputed western sea border. The barrage killed four South Koreans, including two civilians.

Two days after an explosivesladen house was destroyed in a carefully orchestrated burn that played out on television screens across the country, the site of the so-called “bomb factory” was declared safe Saturday by California authorities. “Thursday’s controlled fire destroyed all of the explosives and hazardous materials at the site,” San Diego County said in a statement issued a day after a sheriff’s bomb and arson unit sifted through the ashes and debris of the charred property and found no danger. Crews scraped several inches of dirt off the half-acre lot to ensure there was no dangerous residue left.

A wayward sea lion trying to scoot down a highway along the Oregon coast got an escort from state troopers. The Oregon State Police said the animal apparently entered U.S. Highway 101 through a state park near Yachats and weaved in and out of traffic for about half a mile. Troopers and a local fire and rescue unit used batons and plastic boards designed to keep patients immobile as they flanked the sea lion and guided it along the side of the highway. It was led back into the Pacific Ocean after the procession guided it to an oceanside state park a quarter mile down the road from where it was found.

The “strippermobile” has made another run in Las Vegas, this time with properly dressed Santa’s helpers riding for a good cause. A year after agreeing to stop a promotion that involved hauling bikini-clad exotic dancers in a truck with clear plastic sides, a company that owns several Las Vegas strip clubs used the vehicle to help deliver Christmas donations to a local charity. Deja Vu’s truck was part of a convoy that delivered $19,000 in donated bikes and toys Friday to HELP of Southern Nevada, a nonprofit group that assists the poor, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

Two top candidates in Haiti’s disputed presidential election are rejecting a proposed recount, threatening to torpedo a compromise aimed at quelling days of riots and violence over allegations the vote was rigged, their campaigns said Saturday. The snub by No. 1 finisher Mirlande Manigat and by third-place Michel Martelly leaves the impoverished nation dangerously volatile, with much of the population rejecting the officially announced outcome of the Nov. 28 election and many willing to protest with violence. Only the ruling party candidate, Jude Celestin, supports the electoral council’s offer to retabulate tally sheets.

approved by 98 percent of those voting, Geiger said. In November, 94 percent of some 25,000 workers in King, Snohomish, Kitsap and North Mason counties rejected a contract proposal because of cuts in pay, health benefits and pensions and gave the union the approval to declare a strike if new negotiations were unsuccessful. But a tentative agreement reached Nov. 20 resolved those issues. The contract for Peninsula workers is “a distinct contract, although it’s the same content by and large,” Geiger said. If the issues hadn’t been resolved by early December, then it could have been recommended that Peninsula workers consider a strike vote, Geiger had said. Three unions were bargaining together: UFCW 21, UFCW 81 and Teamsters 38.

Radio drama ‘Adrian Cross’ to air Jan. 16 By Leah Leach

Peninsula Daily News

SEQUIM — The radio drama “Adrian Cross, For Hire” is a little late, but it will be on the air. “Adrian Cross, For Hire — The Schooner Mystic Rose” will premier on the nonprofit Sequim radio station KSQM FM 91.5 at 8 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 16, said Shelley Taylor, spokeswoman for the production. The one-hour drama — an original, locally produced show — had been scheduled to air Dec. 7. It didn’t because editing, music and sound effects took longer than anticipated, said Taylor, who also plays Christine Hale, Cross’ love interest, in the show. It will be worth the wait, Taylor said. “They were making sure the finishing touches were just perfect,” she said. “This is a high-end production.”

Old-time drama Dungeness-area resident John Grissim wrote and directed the old-time radio drama. He described the show’s protagonist, Cross, as an adventurous, self-reliant loner and a slightly jaded romantic. Cross lives aboard an aging cabin cruiser in Sequim’s John Wayne Marina and “scrapes by as a yacht surveyor, charter captain, hull cleaner, salvage consultant, boat repo man — anything more or less legal — and regularly crosses paths with Sequim’s police chief, with whom he has a flinty relationship,” Grissim has said. The score was written by Adam Stern, who conducts the Port Angeles Symphony Orchestra and the Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra. Stern led a six-piece ensemble on the Port Angeles High School auditorium stage in November and recorded the soundtrack.

Three-year-old Dakota Gossard gets assistance from her father, Jim Gossard of Port Angeles, as she takes a photo of her grandmother, Sandy Locke of Port Angeles, during holiday festivities at Lazy J Tree Farm east of Port Angeles on Saturday. The event, hosted by the North Olympic Land Trust, also featured food, music, nature walks and horse-drawn wagon rides.

Party coming up A “mingle with the cast” fundraising party is planned from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 8, Taylor said. The venue will be announced later, as will ticket prices, though Taylor said the cost will be reasonable. Those who attend will not only meet Grissim and the cast members, but also will be treated to a fulllength preview of the radio show. The show also can be heard on the Internet at the KSQM website and will be rebroadcast on as-yet-undetermined dates after the premiere. January’s show is expected to be only the first installment in the Adrian Cross series. “It is the first of hopefully many others,” Taylor said. For more information, visit KSQM’s website at www.ksqmfm.com, e-mail the station at radio@ ksqmfm.com or phone 360681-0000.

Sound effects are authentic, Taylor said. “They were going out in a boat to get the sound of water lapping,” Taylor said as an example.

Rivers will continue to rise today as a warm, wet storm continues to roll through. But despite a flood watch, none of the rivers on the North Olympic Peninsula were on the National Weather Service’s list of those likely to spill their banks Saturday evening. The watch will remain in effect through Monday afternoon, and people should still be wary of swollen rivers and water-covered roads, said Johnny Burg, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Seattle. “If you’re nearby areas that are prone to flooding, just be wary of that,” he said.

“I would just like to stress: Don’t drive through flooded roads.” Between 1 inch and 2 inches of rain are expected to fall on the Peninsula lowlands today and Monday, Burg said. But some parts of the Olympic Mountains could receive 4 inches to 9 inches of rain, he said. The snow level is expected to reach 8,000 feet today. If river flooding occurs, the heavy rain in the mountains combined with snow melt will be to blame, Burg said. Flooding is expected elsewhere in the state. Forecasters said the Chehalis, Snohomish and Snoqualmie rivers were expected to flood by today or Monday

Water vapor flows out of a smokestack at the Nippon paper mill last week. The stack in the center of the frame was built in 1920, as was the brick-walled building at right.

The Washington Pulp and Paper Corp. mill’s house is pictured under construction in July 1920. Buckets of concrete were about two-thirds of the way up the unfinished boiler stack and poured into the building through the pipe. At left are railroad tracks, on which trains hauled in chemicals and hauled out paper to Port Townsend, where the railroad cars were loaded onto barges and towed to Seattle.

“It is rewarding at the end of the day,” he said. For 90 years, owners of the plant have hustled and gotten the job done — defying the odds where other Port Angeles mills, including Merrill & Ring and Rayonier, have fallen by the wayside. “The waterfront was just full of sawmills,” mill manager Harold Norlund said. At its peak in the 1930s and ’40s, the mill employed between 460 and 470 people, Norlund said. “It was very manually intensive in the beginning,” he said. “Since then, it’s become more automated — better equipment, a better process and more efficient — so it’s not as much manual work as it was in the beginning.” The company today manufactures telephone book paper and other lightweight products, such as paper for advertising inserts, fliers, directories, as well as newsprint, including newsprint that makes

But vestiges of the mill as it was during the days of Childers’ grandfathers remain, Norlund and technical manager Steve Johnson said during an hourlong tour of the facility.

First paper in 1920 Newsprint first rolled off Paper Machine No. 1 on Dec. 14, 1920. The machine’s parts were strewn across a beach just a year or two earlier. Paper brokers Isidore Zellerbach and his son, Harold, had picked up the pieces, purchasing the assets of bankrupted Canadian lumbermen George and James Whalen —

including the machine on the Port Angles Harbor beach — and along with those assets, the Elwha Dam. The Washington Pulp and Paper Corp. mill, the name of which changed to Crown Zellerbach as the Zellerbachs bought other mills, was sold in 1986 to

James River Corp. and in 1988 to Daishowa America, which merged with Nippon Paper of Japan in 2003.

The town also developed a reliable water supply because of the mill, building a dam and pipeline capable of bringing 14 million gallons of fresh water per day from the Big Quilcene River more than 30 miles away. In 1980, Crown Zellerbach installed new furnaces and smokestacks and improved its wastewater treatments facilities. In 1983, the company sold the mill to Haindl Papier GmbH of West Germany, which renamed it the Port Townsend Paper Corp. It employed 500 workers. In 1997, Haindl Papier

It plans a major upgrade of its primary boiler by installing a new biomass boiler that is expected to be operating by August 2012. The $71 million project has been opposed by environmental groups who recently lost an appeal of the city of Port Angeles’ shoreline development permit and who plan to appeal the city’s environmental assessment to the state in the spring. The new boiler will be more efficient than the present burner, Norlund said. The changes made by Crown Zellerbach in the 1970s to the original boiler from the 1950s “wasn’t an ideal conversion, as a boiler originally designed for oil does not have the proper air flow characteristics in the combustion chamber necessary for burning biomass,” Norlund said. The plant also has two smaller boilers, both of which burn oil, which are used only when the main boiler is shut down for maintenance twice a year;

PA ‘Ax Men’ back in the spotlight By Rob Ollikainen Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — Gabe Rygaard is known by millions of viewers around the world as one of TV’s “Ax Men” — a rugged logger on the History Channel’s hit reality show. But here in Port Angeles, he’s just another hardworking blue-collar guy — who happens to be famous. “People notice you, of course, but it’s kind of nice around here,” Rygaard said. “You don’t get a lot of the lookie-loos freaking out.” Port Angeles-based Rygaard Logging Inc. begins its third season featured on “Ax Men” today. The first episode of Season 4 airs on the History Channel at 9 p.m. The foundation of the show is a competition to see who can haul the most truckloads of logs out of the forest in a season. The winner gets no trophy or prize, other than the satisfaction that comes with beating rivals from the Pacific Northwest, the deep South and — new in Season 4 — Alaska and British Columbia.

Bragging rights “It’s basically for bragging rights and for TV,” Rygaard explained. “We just go out and give them a good show.” About 4 million viewers watch the program every week. It is especially popular on the East Coast and in Europe, where towering Douglas Firs and the remote wilderness are novelties. Many fans appreciate the no-nonsense style and

Gabe Rygaard said the Alaska newcomers and Northwest rivals J.M.

looks good on TV, but behind the scenes, it’s a lot of work, and it’s a lot of stress.” Camera crews, though savvy, are in constant danger as they document the action. “They had more to worry about than they really needed,” Craig Rygaard said.

‘Toughest Jobs’ Rygaard Logging was introduced to reality TV in March 2008, when Original Products put them on an episode of “America’s Toughest Jobs.” Gabe Rygaard, who coowns the company with his father and brother, Jason, recently traveled to Louisville, Ky., to demolish a house for an episode of ABC’s “Extreme Makeover Home Edition.” “It’s been great to work with and meet new people and expand the business by being on TV,” Gabe Rygaard said. Loggers often joke that most people who work in Port Angeles keep banker’s hours. By contrast, a logger gets up for work at 3 a.m. and sometimes doesn’t get home until 7 p.m. or 8 p.m. They generally work Monday through Friday, when the mills are open, and spend the weekends fixing equipment and washing log trucks. “It’s really a way of life,” Gabe Rygaard said. “You live it, you breathe it, you sleep it. It becomes a part of who you are.”

in prison, fine

SEATTLE — A federal judge sentenced a Kent man who traveled to Cambodia to have sex with underage girls to 15 years in prison, placed him on a lifetime supervised release, fined him $10,000 and ordered him to pay $8,000 to his victims. Federal prosecutors had charged 59-year-old Craig Carr with sexual exploitation of a child. In his plea agreement, Carr said that he paid a person in Cambodia $8,000 to find him girls under 12 years of age to have sex with. He was arrested in January, soon after returning from Cambodia. Prosecutors said that Carr had sex with three young girls while in Cambodia. Judge Richard A. Jones told Carr that satisfying his sexual fantasies leads

Obscene calls TACOMA — A former human resources manager at a Washington state resort has been sentenced to nearly 31⁄2 years in federal prison for making more than 4,000 obscene and sexually threatening phone calls to hundreds of women in the United States and Canada. Daniel C. Leonard of Olympia was sentenced Friday by U.S. District Judge Ronald Leighton, who said the calls were painful and haunting for the victims. The 32-year-old Leonard had pleaded guilty to one count of cyber stalking and four counts of making threatening communications. Olympia police said Leonard used a website that allows people to disguise their voices as well as their identifying phone number. The U.S. Attorney’s Office said he also used the website to make threatening phone calls in Monterey, Calif., were he lived previously. Leonard formerly worked at the Great Wolf Lodge near Olympia.

VADER CITY — An 85-year-old councilman in the tiny town of Vader City was arrested after his wife accused him of threatening her life. The Daily News of Longview reported that Andy Wilson Jr. was charged with felony domestic harassment Wednesday. He was arrested and released from jail Thursday after posting a $5,000 bond. Charging documents said that after Wilson’s wife, Barbara, withdrew money from their joint savings account, the councilman got in her face, doubled up his fists and told her that if she didn’t put the money back, he would “shoot her [expletive] brains out.” Wilson has served as mayor or councilman for the town in southeast Washington for two decades.

I wanted to make sure people in poverty have a strong voice here at the Capitol,” said Jean Squires, a 29-year-old student at The Evergreen State College who was holding a sign that read “Poverty is immoral.” Gina Petry, who was working with an anti-budget cut campaign called Sisters Organized for Survival, said that even people who don’t currently use the services at risk should be worried about the cuts. “All it takes is one layoff or one accident, and they can be in a position to need these services,” she said. “The Legislature is at last moving in a positive direction,” said Sen.

Mom gives up the parental gear My favorite ChrisTMAS gift as a soon-to-be-mom was a Hooter Hider — a piece of fabric with a strap attached to hang it over your neck. This clever garment leaves Diane both hands Farr free so a mother can adjust a baby, drink water and maintain her privacy while simultaneously breastfeeding. Yes, this expensive excuse for a blanket was stylish, but mostly it seemed like a mantra for the kind-o-momma I wanted to be — one who had all the mostupdated, hip, compact and “right” gear, making me the bestequipped and chic mommy at the playground. Then I actually had a baby, and the sound of his cries would

cause me to throw myself down exactly where I heard him and try to stop that heart-crushing noise as fast as possible with my food. And hiding anything was not even a thought. But in time, those screams became less frequent (or I just got used to them), so I ventured out. I grabbed my baby and car seat (35 pounds on my right arm) and my diaper bag filled with everything I collected during gestation (35 pounds on my left arm) and nearly fell over. My first mommy-attache contained everything every book and person I consulted said I should carry for a newborn. Assuming I would just get used to hanging more than half my body weight from my limbs, I drove off to my first excursion fully loaded. I think I chose to do lunch with a male friend because I was so proud that I could — with my Hooter Hider in hand.

Mike Heinle Retired dam operator Port Angeles

“I think about the same. Nothing has really changed for our family, so we’ll probably spend the same as last year.”

Little did I know how uncomfortable I would feel when my baby wouldn’t stop screaming in a restaurant because he was afraid inside the breast-tent and I couldn’t even position him correctly beneath it. So much for burqa-ing my child. I became marginally better at parenting for few months when, suddenly, I found myself pregnant again. My husband and I were almost over the shock of having two children within 16 months when, at our 8-week ultrasound appointment, we discovered we would be having twins. I cried for a long time that day and right up until I delivered my identical daughters. Then I stopped because there wasn’t any more time for tears. Now that I had three children in diapers at the same time, all I could fit in my diaper bag were the bare essentials — and to my chagrin, I was never in need of anything else.

I would love to tell you that the best thing that ever happened to me as a mother was an unexpected pregnancy that yielded me my own personal daycare of three kids under age 2 for eight long months (and then all under age 3 and now all under 4) because that would be so poetic. However, my parenting path is . . . intense. This past Black Friday, I was trolling the mall with all the rest of the parents hoping to find a deal, and I realized I am a seasoned veteran now. While feeling the panic of soon-to-be moms at some “helpful” Momma-Gear-Boutique and the dogmatic quest of new grandparents at a Babies “R” Us, I wanted to give them all a collective Valium. I also felt like whispering that holiday shopping is only going to get worse when your kids watch TV and request things that you despise, so learning not to get too attached to having the seemingly important gear and gadgets now

“Every year, I spend more. I’ll spend even more this year — only the best. You only have Christmas once a year. I have had some down times, but I always manage nicely.”

“Less. I think the economy’s the reason. I want to focus on the real meaning of Christmas and not be so commercial. So less presents this year. Quality, not quantity.”

“I have no kids, so I usually buy things for my friends. I’ll be spending less this year because I’m saving for a trip to Europe next year.”

“About the same. We’re on Social Security, and we have only so much to spend. Our children are grown, so we mail them things. Postage is up, so I may pay a little more there.”

The study authors, from Stockholm University, found that mental and physical fatigue improved significantly after retiring.

Symptoms of depression also improved, especially among people with chronic diseases. In the year before retirement, 25 percent of the study participants reported depression symptoms — and 19 percent had some kind of disease. All of the study participants retired by age 64. Other recent studies suggest that working helps keep people healthier. One study showed that mental health was better in retirees who pursued a second career after retiring from their first career.

Hello,” Dec. 9 PDN]. I would think that the talents of the local artist community could come up with a design superior to that proposed by the consultants.

is the best thing you can do for yourself as a parent. Simply put, it is the time you spend with small children, not what you carry in your bag, that makes a more equipped mother, father, granny and pop-pop. Now I think about that Hooter Hider and have no idea what happened to it. I can only assume it is deeply buried in the rubble of pretty stuff I was so excited to collect before I became a mother that didn’t help me one bit once I was one.

Sutherland fishing I have read Matt Schubert’s article [Outdoors, Nov. 26 PDN] and am shocked to learn that the entire Lake Sutherland kokanee fishery may be closed for up to 10 years just to track the progress of a hoped-for new sockeye run in the Elwha River. Such a closure is not needed to protect the run itself but only to monitor how successful it is. That may make perfect sense to a researcher or state official far removed from the fishery, but it is an extreme measure from the perspective of the fisherman who love their kokanee. I will definitely be at the public meeting scheduled for Dec. 15 to seek public comment on this plan — and hope to see many others there supporting this valuable sports fishery.

Within a one-week period, my microwave quit, my sink backed up, my furnace quit, and my Talking Book machine stopped playing. But life is good.

Can’t you understand why so many children have ADD? IN RESPONSE TO “Imagine my surprise” rant of the week: Hello, they didn’t offer you a rose garden. There’s a lot of people who eat chicken for Thanksgiving and ham, and there are vegetarians who don’t eat any meat at all. I hope you really were thankful you got something to eat and stayed and helped wash the dishes. HERE’S A RANT to the person complaining in last week’s Rants & Raves about the free meal they received from the community church that was for Thanksgiving and wasn’t turkey but was, in fact, meatloaf. My rant and question is: How was the price? TO THE WRITER of the rant complaining about having to eat meatloaf instead of turkey at the free community dinner: I recommend that person go to a restaurant next year and pay for a turkey dinner. I’m sure there are many people in this town who would be thankful for meatloaf or even hot dogs for Thanksgiving dinner. RARELY DOES ONE have the chance to be both stunned and amazed, yet last week’s rant of the week afforded me this. This person complained that the charity offered him by caring strangers wasn’t up to his standards? Wow! Perhaps next year, this ingrate will find the resources to have the sort of dinner he feels he deserves. TO THE INGRATE who complained about receiving meatloaf and not turkey for the free community Thanksgiving dinner: I wonder if you did “appreciate the meal.” Did you help the volunteers clean up afterwards, or did you waddle off with your full belly to take in the next free meal somewhere else? I’m sickened. IF I WAS hungry and looking for a “free” meal, I certainly wouldn’t complain about the menu! Talk about gratitude. Shame on you! Next time, stay home and eat dog food! DISGUSTED RANT TO the

ungrateful freeloader’s complaint about the meatloaf instead of turkey on Thanksgiving. Shame, shame on you! I WISH SOME of these food manufacturers who seem to think they are God’s gift to mankind would remember that there are people with allergies. There are also people with illnesses. They depend on food manufactured or even pre-cooked food. Some additives are questionable. House pets, if they could speak, might have similar rants. ENOUGH TO MY fellow employee! I can’t take your ranting about your wife anymore. This is wife No. 2. Ever wonder why wife No. 1 left? No. 2 is probably not too far behind. By the way, who made you perfect? It’s time you look inside yourself and see the real problem, friend. You need professional help. THIS IS ABOUT the Pearl Harbor survivors. Why should they be on the A3 page of the Peninsula Daily News instead of the front page? This is terrible. I’M COMPLETELY SHOCKED at the lack of courtesy of parking lot drivers [Sequim]. Start backing up, then look? Never wait for someone else in the middle of pulling out? Never give a pedestrian the right of way? I’ve seen numerous fender benders, all in parking lots. Thought it was a fluke, but it’s a consistent lack of awareness. RANTS TO THE one that dropped off a wonderful mama pit bull and two puppies in my west-side neighborhood. They were hungry and cold. I took them to the shelter on Monday so they could have a chance.

Workers remove trees Friday along a stretch of Old Olympic Highway between Spring and Barr roads that will be widened in the spring.

Row of trees removed for highway widening By Jeff Chew

Peninsula Daily News

AGNEW — A row of trees have been removed in preparation of a springtime project that will widen nearly a mile of Old Olympic Highway between Spring and Barr roads. Clallam County Engineer Ross Tyler with the Clallam County Road Department said the widening and repaving project will begin sometime in March when the weather dries. “This is the beginning of the reconstruction project from where we left off in

2009 when we did Lewis to Spring Road,” Tyler said. Jordan Excavating of Port Angeles was awarded the $997,333 contract. Trees were removed Friday. Electric utilities in the same vicinity will be moved for the project, Tyler said, and some fences will be built on the south side for right-of-way construction. The road stretch will be widened from the existing 28 feet to 40 feet wide, giving motorists two 12-foot lanes with two 8-foot-wide shoulders. The existing pavement will be pulverized for removal, and the project

should take about two months to complete once it begins, Tyler said. The next segment of Old Olympic Highway to be widened, likely in 2013, will extend from Barr Road to McDonald Creek Bridge. Tyler said that project expected to include the replacement of the narrow bridge, which he calls the most seismically “vulnerable” bridges in the county.

Auburn quarterback Cam Newton picks up the Heisman Trophy after his acceptance speech after being named the Heisman Trophy winner Saturday in New York.

Newton runaway Heisman winner

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — When Washington’s Isaiah Thomas got a steal with five seconds left and his team trailing by one point to Texas A&M, Aggies’ coach Mark Turgeon had one thought. “I hope they miss a shot,” Turgeon said. David Loubeau Also . . . made sure they did. ■ Gonzaga Loubeau blocked a continues desperation shot by slide with Thomas as time expired loss at Notre and Texas A&M held Dame /B4 on for a 63-62 win over No. 21 Washington on Saturday. “David just made a smart play,” Turgeon said. “Instead of going to his man, he came and played the shot. That was a big time block. It was clean.”

The Aggies (9-1) led by seven with about four minutes to go before the Huskies (6-3) scored six straight points to pull to 63-62 with about 1½ minutes remaining. Texas A&M’s Khris Middleton missed a 3-pointer and C.J. Wilcox missed one for the Huskies with 17 seconds left and Washington knocked the ball out of bounds. The Aggies got the ball down the court before Thomas stole the ball from Nathan Walkup and raced back for the shot. But Loubeau knocked it down to give Texas A&M the win. “The crowd was going crazy and everybody was into it and it was like a nail-biter,” Loubeau said of the last few seconds. Turn

Neah Bay wins two at Classic

Auburn quarterback chosen despite dark recruiting backstory

Peninsula Daily News

By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Cam Newton thanked his mother, then his father. And then he paused to compose himself. Cecil Newton was back in Georgia, though his son put him squarely in the room where the Auburn quarterback accepted college football’s biggest award Saturday night — the Heisman Trophy. “Thank you for all you did for me,” he told his parents, adding. “To my father, I love you so much.” There was no doubt Newton would win the Heisman. Whether he gets to keep it is still uncertain. Newton brushed off an investigation that determined his father violated NCAA rules as he did so many tacklers this season and captured the Heisman in a landslide vote. That didn’t mean it all wasn’t tinged with sadness because his father was not there. “I’d be sitting up here lying to you if I didn’t say it hurt,” Newton said during the ESPN telecast before the winner was announced. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I love my father. He gave me words of encouragement before I came up here. I know he’s with me in spirit.” The third player from Auburn to win the Heisman, Newton received 729 first-place votes and outpointed runner-up Andrew Luck of Stanford by 1,184 points. “Honestly, it’s a dream come true for me, something every child has a dream [about] that plays the sport of football, and I’m living testimony that anything is possible,” Newton said.

James third in voting Oregon running back LaMichael James was third, followed by Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore, the other finalist. Newton didn’t look a bit surprised when his name was announced inside the Best Buy Theater in Times Square. A wide smile spread across his face and he dropped his head. After exchanging hugs and handshakes with the other finalists, he and his mother, Jackie, shared a long embrace. “When I reached my mother I really didn’t want to let go,” Newton said. “It’s been hard for me, but it’s been extremely hard for her just to see how much her son has been through and I just wanted to hug her the whole night to make her feel at ease.” When he reached the podium, he had to steady himself. “Oh my God,” he whispered as he reached into his inside jacket packet to pull out his speech. On the field and off, Newton has been the story of the college football season. He’s carried the top-ranked Tigers to the BCS national championship game against No. 2 Oregon, running and passing over opponents who looked helpless trying to stop him. Turn

Spartans finish Forks gets past Chimacum behind third quarter surge By Matt Schubert

Peninsula Daily News

FORKS — Things may not have started out to Forks head coach Scott Justus’ liking, but the finish couldn’t have been much better Friday night. The Spartan boys basketball team surged past Chimacum with a 12-6 third quarter then held off a late Cowboy rally for its first win of the season.

Frank Noles had 18 points and 10 rebounds and Braden Decker added 15 points and six rebounds to lead the Spartans (1-1 overall) to a 61-51 nonleague victory. “I never would’ve guessed we would have come out and beat Chimacum [after appearing lackadaisical prior to the game in the locker room],” Justus said. “I told them if they can win, they can screw around before

1B Boys Hoops Capsules Quilcene (1B) ■ Head coach: Mark Thompson (second year) ■ Last year: 4-8 in 2B Sea-Tac League, 7-13 overall; missed playoffs ■ Returning starters: Brandon Bancroft (6-1, Sr., F); Dan Davidson (5-10, Jr., G) ■ Top newcomers: Jake Pleines (5-10, Fr., F); Angel Perez (5-8, Jr., G/F) ■ Player to watch: Brandon Bancroft The Rangers’ three-sport star already has one tripledouble this year. ■ Outlook: The Rangers move down to the much more palatable 1B Sea-Tac League with some hope for the postseason. After reaching the state tournament for the first time in nine years in 2009, the Rangers struggled during an obvious rebuilding season last winter. Now, head coach Mark Thompson is hoping a drop down to 1B will hasten Quilcene’s rise back to state contention. “We lost a lot of good basketball players a couple of years ago,” said Thompson, an assistant coach on the ’08-09 team. “We’re slowly trying to build it back up and we’re hoping we can have a little more success this year and build form there.” Quilcene has a top-tier senior athlete to build on in Bancroft, an all-league player in football and baseball. Dan Davidson gives the team a scoring threat, with several other younger players also expected to fill major roles. “We have a lot of young players, and that’s good,” Thompson said. “In a couple of years I expect to be back on top again, maybe sooner.”

Riders 3rd at Relays Peninsula Daily News

TACOMA — The Port Angeles boys swim team took third out of six teams at the Flacon Relays at Foss High School on Saturday. “It was a successful day,” Roughrider coach Rich Butler said. “It gave us a chance to step up our game against tougher competition.” The top event for the Riders was a first-place finish in the 200-yard

medley relay in one minute, 53.43 seconds by the team of Tyler Burke, Charlie Parks, Avery Koehler and Matt Watkins. Burke was the only individual winner for Port Angeles, taking first in the 50 freestyle in 23.79. The events were judged differently from other meets allowing only one kid per event, per school, which meant swimming against each school’s best in the event.

Forks: Spartans pull off sweep Continued from B1 That, combined with two Noles baskets and a pair of free throws to close out the frame, led to a 37-32 Forks edge Chimacum (1-2) spent the rest of the game trying to catch up to. “I knew Scott would have his kids ready to play, and they were,” said Chimacum head coach Jim Eldridge, whose team was dealt its first loss of the season. “They were more aggressive and we got a little pressure put on us” and things went south. Quinn Eldridge scored a team-high 13 points and dished out two assists to lead the Cowboys (2-1). The junior shooting guard hit three of the Chimacum’s seven 3-pointers on the game. That included two in a row early in the fourth quarter that drew the Cowboys within two at 44-42. But that was as close as Chimacum would get. Decker and Brady Castellano immediately sank backto-back jumpers to ignite a 10-2 Spartan run and the Cowboys never threatened again. “I think it is a big win,” Justus said. “These guys are much better than North Beach, and we laid an egg versus North Beach [in a 52-43 loss Monday].” Added Justus, “The win kind of gets the monkey off your back.”

Forks’ Tanner Watson finished with seven points, four steals and two assists, and teammate Bryce Johnson had seven points. The Spartans shot well from the field, hitting 21 of 45 attempts, but struggled immensely from the free throw line (17 of 44). The latter enabled Chimacum to stay within single digits for much of the fourth quarter. Unfortunately for the Cowboys, their own shooting struggles (14 of 38) from the field kept them from getting back within striking distance. It didn’t help that half of those field goal attempts came from beyond the 3-point line against Forks’ man and 2-3 zone defenses. “We weren’t patient enough on offense,” said Eldridge, whose team was 7 of 19 from long range. “We didn’t really work the clock any. “We were making bad decisions.” Ryan Riggle had nine points and six rebounds for the Cowboys, Landon Cray eight points and three assists and Dylan Brown-Bishop eight points.

Girls Basketball Forks 39, Chimacum 27 FORKS — The Spartans held the Cowboys to just nine points in the final two quarter to cruise to a nonleague win Friday night. Taylor Morris scored 12 of her game-high 15 points in the first two quarters to give Forks a 24-18 edge, and Spartan defense took over after that to earn its first win of the season. “They did a good job [defensively],” Forks coach Dave Zellar said “They just worked. Every one of them worked when they got out on the court.” Switching between zone and man throughout, Forks (1-1) held the Cowboys (0-4) to 8-of-44 shooting on the game. That included an 0-for13 showing in the third quarter when the Spartans went on a decisive 13-2 run that assured the Cowboys of their fourth straight loss to begin the season. “They did a good job of switching their defenses,” first-year Chimacum coach Brad Burlingame said. “Since our girls, it’s their first year with the offenses I run, a lot of times we were matching a zone offense against a man-to-man and a man against a zone.” The Spartans also had a decided edge on the boards, out-rebounding Chimacum 44-32 on the night and forcing 26 Cowboys turnovers.

Morris snagged 12 of those rebounds her self — seven on the offensive end — while Casey Williams grabbed nine boards and had four points. Brittany Decker added eight points for the Spartans, while Jillian Raben chipped in with six points and four assists. All of that, combined with the solid defense effort, more than made up for a mediocre shooting night from the field (17 of 56). “We played a good first half against North Beach on Monday [in a 59-29 loss],” Zellar said. “We just didn’t put the second two quarters together. That was the big thing going to the girls was we’ve got to put a whole game together.” Lauren Thacker was the Cowboys’ high scorer at nine, but there wasn’t a single other Chimacum player with more than four points. “We just missed shots,” Burlingame said. “We executed the plays really well and then missed the shots.” Both Forks teams host an Australian travel team Monday night. The Cowboys head to Puyallup to take on Cascade Christian in Nisqually League action. Forks 39, Chimacum 27 Chimacum Forks

Zags’ skid continues Desperate rally falls just short By Rick Gano

The Associated Press

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame’s lead reached 14 at one point in the second half and it looked like the Irish might cruise to a victory. But they clanged some free throws, Gonzaga made some clutch shots and the Bulldogs trailed by only two twice in the final 13 seconds. Ben Hansbrough then cut off the comeback, making four from the line as the 23rd-ranked Irish held on for an 83-79 victory Saturday night. “It kind of makes us nervous, but we trust each other and the guys pulled it out,” said Carleton Scott, who led the Irish with a career-high 23 points — 19 in the first half. “We trust each other and that is what’s the key. We work on those situations in practice and it’s like second nature to us,” Scott added. The Irish (9-1), coming off a loss to Kentucky, got eight straight points from Tim Abromaitis to break a tie early in the second half and staved off the late rally before a boisterous home crowd. Abromaitis finished with 21 points, 12 in the second half. “I was pretty much taking what came to me. I was able to find myself open a couple of times. We have great passers and I knew if I was open, I’d get the looks and I was able to knock them down” Abromaitis said. Gonzaga (4-5) lost to a Top 25 team for the fourth time this season.

Gonzaga guard Elias Harris puts up a shot as Notre Dame forward Carleton Scott defends during the second half of Saturday’s game in South Bend, Ind. The Bulldogs have struggled to defend the 3-pointer and did so again as Notre Dame hit 11 of 20 from beyond the arc — the same number Gonzaga made in the same number of attempts. Elias Harris scored 19 and Steven Gray had 18 for the Bulldogs. “We gave up the last game against Washington State and played horrible,” Harris said of the Bulldogs’ rally.

“No way we can do that again. “We got to keep fighting. At the end it was a tight game again.” Harris, for one, said he’s not concerned about the slow start. “We’ve played one of the hardest schedules in the nation this year. I’m pretty sure if other teams played the same schedule, they’d be in the same situation probably right now,” he said.

“We got to keep fighting.” Notre Dame, which missed 12-of-36 free throw attempts was up by 10 with 1:18 to go. But after Harris hit two free throws, Gonzaga’s press forced a turnover and Gray hit his fifth 3-pointer of the night to cut the lead to 75-70 with a minute left. And after Notre Dame’s Eric Atkins missed two from the line, Harris scored from inside to make it a threepoint game. Scott then made 1 of 2 from the line with 32.8 seconds left, putting the Irish up four. After Gray missed a 3-point attempt, Atkins came up with a loose ball, was fouled with 19.9 seconds left. He missed the first and sank the second for a five-point lead. Gonzaga’s Mangisto Arop made a 3-pointer with 12 seconds remaining to slice it to 79-77. Hansbrough then sank his free throws — the final two with about 3 seconds left— as Notre Dame held on. Scott’s 19 points in the first half were two more than his previous high for an entire game and Notre Dame led 43-37. But Gonzaga got a dunk from Robert Sacre and a steal from Marquise Carter that led to a basket on a goaltending call, tying the game at 50-50 five minutes into the second half. Abromaitis then foiled the Bulldogs’ zone defense by sinking back-to-back 3-pointers — his third and fourth of the game. And after a Gonzaga turnover, he got loose on the baseline, took a nice pass from Tyrone Nash and dunked to put the Irish up by eight. Minutes later, he hit a pair of free throws and then after a nice fake canned a jumper as Notre Dame’s lead went to 11 with under nine minutes remaining.

Texas A&M scored the first six points of the second half to take a 35-32 lead with about 18½ minutes remaining. These teams also met last year in what ended up being a difficult loss for the Aggies three days before Christmas.

Seattle lacks in motivation Hawks need to show more against Niners THE SEAHAWKS FINALLY got the message that last Sunday’s game against Carolina was a MUST win. Of course, it Brad took until LaBrie halftime for the Seachickens to decide to play, but it only took one good half to beat the worst team in the NFL. The toothless Panthers led 14-3 at halftime but played dead in the second half in the 31-14 loss. There are two noteworthy items about this game. First and foremost is that it took a halftime screaming meltdown by coach Pete Carroll to get his players’ attention and motivate them. And secondly, it was obvious by the ending score that the Hawks were the better team. But where is the heart of this team if it can’t come out in front of its loyal fans and play intense ball against Carolina from the get-go? Where’s the pride? Where’s the killer instinct? This team just can’t be trusted to be ready to play. The Hawks would be a perfect middle-of-the-road contender in the Pac-10. Good one week, bad the next. Oregon State, pounding California 35-7 one week, then two weeks later losing 31-14 to lowly Washington State. Then pounding Southern Cal 36-7. Then losing 38-0 to Stanford. That could make you dizzy if you’re a Beavers fan. Not much different if you’re a Hawks fan. Seattle, 6-6, would be heading to a bottom-tier bowl if it was a college team. Getting blown out during wild-card weekend in the NFL is pretty much the same thing. But I’m getting ahead of myself. The Hawks might not even make the playoffs if they don’t get out of their mental funk. Which brings us to today’s game at San Francisco. I would pick the Hawks but put my money on the 49ers because they should have the emotional edge with the revenge angle. After all, it was the Hawks who ripped the Niners 31-6 and sent their promising season down the tubes in Week One. The 49ers (4-8) have to play well today in front of their fans to save face and prove they deserved the preseason projections of winning the NFC West. But then they’re starting inconsistent quarterback Alex Smith for today’s game. That means all bets are off.

Seattle (6-6) at San Fran. (4-8) Time/TV: Today, 4:05 p.m., Ch. 13 Opening line: 49ers by 4 Series record: Seahawks lead 13-10 Last meeting: Seahawks 31, 49ers 6, Sept. 12, 2010. Last week: Seahawks beat Carolina 31-14; 49ers lost at Green Bay 34-16. Seahawks unit rankings: Overall offense (28), rush (30), pass (17); Overall defense (30), rush (21), pass (30). 49ers unit rankings: Overall offense (24), rush (15), pass (22); Overall defense (11), rush (10t), pass (18). Seahawks streaks, stats and notes: Seattle has won last two and five of seven in series, including 31-6 whipping of Niners in Week 1 after San Francisco had been picked as favorite to win NFC West. Seahawks have lost four of six after starting 4-2 but are still tied with St. Louis atop NFC West. Seattle’s defense limited Panthers to 88 total yards in second half last Sunday. Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch ran for 83 yards last week, second-best outing of season. Seattle hoped to welcome back DT Colin Cole, who has missed last five games with high-ankle sprain, and TE John Carlson (hip). 49ers streaks, stats and notes: San Francisco could be eliminated from playoff contention with loss. Alex Smith is back as 49ers starting quarterback following five-game absence. The 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick separated his non-throwing left shoulder Oct. 24 at Carolina and was replaced by Troy Smith. Alex Smith will look for Vernon Davis, who caught 66-yard TD pass last week on way to careerbest 126 yards receiving. He has team-leading five TD receptions. Niners need more from their ground game without Frank Gore, sidelined with season-ending fractured right hip sustained at Arizona in Monday night game Nov. 29. Brian Westbrook and rookie Anthony Dixon had 31 and 33 yards rushing, respectively, in last week’s 34-16 loss at Green Bay.

4. New Orleans Saints (9-3) — I love the Saints, but they probably should lose some Brownie points for letting the Bengals come back in the fourth quarter (34-30 final score). 5. Chicago Bears (9-3) — Are they really this good? They needed a fourth-quarter TD to beat the Lions on the road last week. I’ll give them some slack if they make a go of it today at New England. 6. Baltimore Ravens (8-4) — They knock the Jets out of the Top Six because they didn’t lose 45-3.

In a statement released by his lawyer earlier in the week, he said his presence could “rob Cam and the event of a sacred moment.” All the uncertainty didn’t keep voters from making Newton an overwhelming choice — he received the sixth most first-place votes

Though 105 voters among the 886 who returned ballots chose not to list him among their three selections. “Obviously, like most people, I have my suspicions, but I don’t think it’s my position to pretend to know what is happening with the NCAA investigation,” said voter Stewart Mandel of SI.com.

Jodi Hall, a massage therapist working to support three teenagers, needed help when the brakes failed on her car and she faced a bill for $400.

Self-employed mom helped by Home Fund EDITOR’S NOTE — For 21 years, Peninsula Daily News readers in Jefferson and Clallam counties have supported the “hand up, not a handout” Peninsula Home Fund. Today, we feature another in a series of articles on how the fund operates and who benefits from our readers’ generosity. The next article will appear Wednesday. By Tim Hockett

For Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — Jodi Hall is a self-employed, single mom with three teenagers at home. It’s a big job just being a mom, but Jodi needs to work to sustain her family. She does so by operating her own business as a massage therapist. “For the last several years, I have worked out at Sol Duc Hot Springs,” she says. “It’s seasonal, but it has been a good location. I work there from mid-March till the end of October.” Her employment tends to be “feast or famine,” as she is fully engaged from the late spring through early fall but then faces a long winter with little employment. “I do try to save for the winter, but the fact is, I just pick up occasional work in the winter and then borrow some to make it till the next season. “Then, I pay it back and move forward. “Because I am self-employed, I get no unemployment — no vacation or sick leave, either. It’s either work or we have no money.” It’s 40 miles each way to Sol Duc from her home, but it takes about an hour to get there as she winds her way around Lake Crescent and onto the access road deep into Olympic National Park. Transportation is critical to her livelihood and to her family’s financial stability.

Brakes failed Last June, the brakes went out on her ’99 Dodge. She faced a bill of more than $400. “This was already the most difficult year I could remember,” she says, “and this wasn’t the only time the car had broken down; I needed help.” Jodi explains that businesses like hers that provide a personal service tend to decline when the economy is strained. People have fewer discretionary dollars to spend even on a haircut — much less a massage. Also, fewer people have insurance coverage that pays for

Give voice to your heart A GIFT OF any size is welcome. The Peninsula Home Fund has never been a campaign of heavy hitters. If you can contribute only a few dollars, please don’t hesitate because you think it won’t make a difference. Every gift makes a difference, regardless of its size. To donate, write a check to “Peninsula Home Fund” and attach it to the coupon that accompanies this story. Mail both items to Peninsula Home Fund, Peninsula Daily News, P.O. Box 1330, Port Angeles, WA 98362. Or drop them at the newspaper’s offices in Port a massage. “I’ve spoken with a lot of massage therapists, and they are scared,” she says. “They just don’t have many clients.” It was against this backdrop of the recession that her transportation to work failed her.

Screens applicants She came to OlyCAP. OlyCAP is nonprofit Olympic Community Action Programs, the No. 1 emergency care agency in Jefferson and Clallam counties. It also screens the applicants for the Peninsula Daily News’ “hand up, not a handout” Peninsula Home Fund and distributes the funds. “I came in and saw Betty at OlyCAP and explained that I have work but just couldn’t get there,” Jodi recalls. “She reassured me and told me about the Peninsula Home Fund. “She was able to provide me with a portion of the cost of fixing my car.” The generosity of the community through the Peninsula Home Fund provided Jodi with $150 toward the repair; she was able to cover the rest and was soon back at work. But OlyCAP’s help didn’t stop there. Jodi was also able to take advantage of another OlyCAP service — home weatherization. “I have a home that was built in the ’40s, and it didn’t have an ounce of insulation in it,” she says. “OlyCAP came and weather-

It is now cozy, and our power bills are going down. “The crew was so polite and respectful, and they didn’t seem to mind our asking a hundred questions.” Jodi then reflects on her ongoing struggle. “I really try hard to make ends meet. “My stove went out this year, and we made do with an electric skillet and a Crock-Pot for three months. “The stove repair just had to wait.” Yet, she is still optimistic. “I think the potential is still there for me to be self-sufficient, to have a good massage therapy business. “It’s important for single moms to be independent and not have to rely on others. “It is interesting that in my occupation, I help relieve stress — the kind of stress that can hurt you from being at a keyboard all day. “In this economy, more and more people are stressed; I am hopeful that my business will actually grow.” Then, Jodi says “thank you.” “The Home Fund is one of the most important programs in our community because people are willing to donate locally, knowing their dollars will help their local neighbors. “I just wanted to say thank you.” The PDN’s Peninsula Home Fund provides a unique lifeline on the North Olympic Peninsula.

FAA loses track of 119,000 aircraft ‘Questionable registration,’ missing forms create chaos By Chris Hawley

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — The Federal Aviation Administration is missing key information on who owns one-third of the 357,000 private and commercial aircraft in the U.S. — a gap the agency fears could be exploited by terrorists and drug traffickers. The records are in such disarray that the FAA said it is worried that criminals could buy planes without the government’s knowledge, or use the registration numbers of other aircraft to evade new computer systems designed to track suspicious flights. It has ordered all aircraft owners to re-register their planes in an effort to clean up its files. About 119,000 of the aircraft on the U.S. registry have “questionable registration” because of missing

forms, invalid addresses, unreported sales or other paperwork problems, according to the FAA. In many cases, the FAA cannot say who owns a plane or even whether it is still flying or has been junked. Already, there have been cases of drug traffickers using phony U.S. registration numbers, as well as instances of mistaken identity in which police raided the wrong plane because of faulty recordkeeping.

Canceled registrations Next year, the FAA will begin canceling the registration certificates of all 357,000 aircraft and require owners to register anew, a move that is causing grumbling among airlines, banks and leasing companies. Notices went out to the first batch of aircraft owners last month.

“We have identified some potential risk areas, but I think we’re trying to eliminate as much risk as possible through the re-registration process,” said FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown. The FAA said security isn’t the only reason it needs an up-to-date registry. Regulators use it to contact owners about safety problems, states rely on it to charge sales tax and some airports employ it to bill for landing fees. Also, rescuers use the database to track planes that are missing. But the FAA has emphasized the security and law enforcement angle as the new measure has moved through the rule-making process over the past two years. The agency said the paperwork gap is becoming a bigger problem as authorities increasingly rely on computers to tighten aviation security in the wake of 9/11 and other terrorist plots. There have already been cases of criminals using U.S.

registration numbers, also known as N-numbers or tail numbers, to disguise their airplanes. In 2008, Venezuela authorities seized a twinengine plane with the registration number N395CA on the fuselage and more than 1,500 pounds of cocaine. Soon afterward, airplane owner Steven Lathrop of Ellensburg received a call from a reporter.

“He sort of started the conversation with, ‘Do you know where your airplane is? . . . Your airplane’s in a jungle in South America,”’ Lathrop said. Lathrop’s Piper Cheyenne II XL was locked safely in its hangar at the Ellensburg airport. The smugglers had apparently chosen his tail number because the model was similar to their plane. “Anybody with a roll of

duct tape can put any number they want on an airplane,” Lathrop said. The amount of missing or invalid paperwork has been building for decades, the FAA said. Up to now, owners had to register their planes only once, at the time of purchase. As of 2008, there were 343,000 airplanes on the registry. By 2010, the number had risen to 357,000.

Judge orders adopted woman deported The Associated Press

TACOMA — A federal immigration judge has ordered a 38-year-old woman adopted by an American couple from Mexico when she was 5 months old to be deported back to her native country. Tara Ammons Cohen, who has been in the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma since July 8, 2009, has been fighting to stay in America ever since. She fears being deported to Mexico where she hasn’t lived since she was an infant, doesn’t speak the language and knows no one would place her in danger. “Basically, the judge found her not eligible for withholding of removal [deportation] and found it more likely than not she wouldn’t be persecuted” in Mexico, her attorney, Manuel Rios of Seattle, said Thursday.

Immigration laws Immigration laws do not recognize adoption as a special circumstance in deportations. Judge Tammy Fitting’s ruling essentially denied every aspect of Cohen’s appeal except to agree that a drug conviction that led to her deportation problem was not a serious crime requiring her automatic removal. Cohen’s predicament was the subject of a Tacoma News Tribune story in March that detailed her odyssey from adoption as a baby in a Mexico orphanage to her troubles with the law in 2008 that led to her detention in Tacoma by immigration officials. The ruling last week

stunned Cohen and Rios. After an October hearing, both had hoped she might be home with her husband and two young children in Omak for the holidays. “I’m devastated,” Cohen said Thursday in a telephone interview from the detention center. “My husband [Jay] is appalled by the system and angry the system says his wife is not going to be in danger if she goes back to Mexico. “I know nothing about Mexico.”

Feels she’s American Cohen said that despite the immigration laws, she feels she is as American as anyone else is this country because she was brought here by her American parents and raised as an American. Her parents didn’t get her naturalized, nor did she when she had the chance. By the time she tried to get citizenship as the spouse of an American, she was already in trouble with the law. Cohen was arrested in 2008 on theft and drug-trafficking charges. She pleaded guilty to stealing a purse containing two bottles of prescription pills and to the trafficking charge, though she never sold a pill. She served three months of a one-year-and-a-day sentence in prison and federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents took her into custody when she got out. Because she was not considered a citizen or a legal resident, her drug charge made her an automatic can0C5105690

didate to be deported. Cohen said she knows her immigration troubles are mostly of her own making but doesn’t feel it is fair for her or other child adoptees. “I can’t go back to Mexico,” she said. She said she plans to appeal the deportation decision again to the federal Bureau of Immigration Appeals. An earlier first appeal led to a hearing before Fitting.

Bipolar disorder

The Mexican Consulate in Seattle thought enough of Cohen’s case to ask Rios to be her attorney. The small fee he received came from the Mexican government through a program for Mexican nationals in the United States who need legal help. Fitting initially ordered Cohen deported in October 2009. She appealed and the immigration appeals panel

Rios contended Cohen’s particular circumstances white, a woman, poor would make her like an immigrant and subject to abuse and violence. She also suffers from a bipolar disorder and has been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder stemming from an assault when she was a teenager. “Six out of 10 migrant women and girls experience sexual violence in Mexico and all such women face this serious risk of trafficking,” Rios said in his legal brief. “Kidnapping of migrants for ransom reached almost 10,000 in 2009. . . .

“Additionally, there is documentary evidence that [Cohen] would be persecuted in Mexico on account of her mental illness.” Besides violence, Rios said Cohen’s circumstances would make it impossible for her to make a living and support herself in what would be essentially a foreign country. Cohen also told the judge her husband and children wouldn’t be able to be with her in Mexico. They, too, fear a life there, she said. In her lengthy ruling, Fitting examined each of Cohen’s fears and ruled she had not established that it is “more likely than not that she would be persecuted because of her circumstances.” Fitting noted the Mexican government has criminal laws and rules about women’s rights and pay in the workplace as well as medical treatment for its citizens. Though Cohen hasn’t been in Mexico since she was a baby, Fitting noted that there was no evidence showing Cohen was persecuted by the Mexican government in the past. “Not every act of discrimination or harassment rises to the level of persecution,” the judge said.

sent the case back to Fittings to review the seriousness of the drug charge. At a hearing in October 2010, Fitting agreed the drug charge did not appear to be a “particularly serious” charge that would require her automatic deportation. That verbal ruling and what Cohen and Rios felt was Fittings general sympathetic comments about the case gave them hope. To stop the removal, however, Rios also argued that his client needed asylum because she would face persecution in Mexico.

‘Perching’ ducks seek safe shelter THE MALE WOOD duck is a handsome bird. It doesn’t look real and instead suggests a beautifully painted decoy. One reader described it as “Picasso-painted.” Earlier this fall, this image was shattered. The same reader sent a photo of the wood ducks that visit her home. Picture, if you will, a male wood duck walking toward the camera with a large, half-eaten apple in its bill, looking like a neighbor’s dog making off with a steak from the barbecue. Wood ducks look upon well-laden apple trees as feeding stations. This “perching” duck not only nests in tree cavities, it isn’t afraid to land in trees and feast among the branches. Last spring’s column asking for input from readers who have nesting wood ducks brought such a large response that it called for a second one. It was evident from all the reports that this area enjoys a good population of nesting wood ducks.

Bird Watch

Paul Carson

Wood ducks are attracted to open water, such as lakes and flowing streams. apples and cracked corn (chicken scratch). When temperatures drop into the freezing range, the birds are attracted to open water like that found in lakes and flowing streams. They are also attracted to manmade nesting boxes. Boxes mounted over the water are best because they are safer from predators. Placing a wide metal strip around the base helps keep raccoons out

of the nests. Once the babies hatch and leave the box, the surrounding area should offer protective cover for the parents to hide them. The babies are a nice mouthful for predators like crows and eagles if they are on open water too long. Several contributors said they replaced nesting material every year by using wood shavings. If you’ve wanted to put up a wood duck nest box and the habitat is right,

install the boxes before the ducks return in March. If you have wood ducks around this winter, I’d like to hear from you, and last but not least — many, many thanks to those readers who shared their wood duck knowledge with the rest of us.

Son pens letter to biological mother DEAR ABBY: I would like to say something to my mother, but the truth is I don’t know who my biological mother is. I was adopted when I was a baby. I have looked for her online over the years but have yet to find her. I have asked myself many times what I’d say to her if I met her. Because I know it may never happen, I’m asking you to print my message: “Mama, I don’t know the circumstances of my birth, and I don’t really care.

In recent years, the rigid rules regarding the wearing of hats have relaxed — in part, I suspect, because of aging baby boomers who use baseball caps to camouflage their bald spots. However, according to Emily Post, you do have a valid gripe. She says there are times when wearing a hat is appropriate and times when it isn’t. According to her, a man should remove his hat (and this includes baseball caps) upon entering a home, when indoors at work (especially in an office), at mealtime at the table, in restaurants and coffee shops (the italics are mine), at a movie or indoor performance, when the National Anthem is played and when the American flag

Brighten up holidays with yule plants LAST WEEK, I focused on light — or more to the point, the lack of light and how darkness is the perfect canvas for artistic illumination skills. Why not pick up the daylight theme again and blend it with the holidays, perfect plant presents and some botanical education? This will also allow me to use one of my favorite horticultural words — photoperiodism. Today, I am going to discuss Christmas cacti and poinsettias, both of which are major Christmas-time plant presents precisely because they are photoperiodic. Photoperiodic is a two-bit word that was coined to mean the ability of a plant to produce buds and flowers in response to the relative time in hours of day and night (i.e., photoperiod). Many plants fall into one of two categories: Either they are named long-day plants (LDPs) or short-day plants (SDPs). All other plants belong to a third category — day-neutral plants (DNPs), meaning there is no certain length of day or night needed in order for them to flower. As a side note, some in the greenhouse/horticultural world believe it would be more correct

In fact, if you named any date to classify these in the year — March 15, June 6, Andrew photoperiodAug. 5, etc. — a greenhouse could May sensitive plants have a perfect, in-bloom poinsetas long-night tia or Christmas cactus ready for plants (LNPs) sale and Olympic judging just by or short-night turning on grow lights or coverplants (SNPs) ing it with total-shade cloth. because the (The greenhouse where I was role played by born used to produce “Polish darkness is far poinsettias” as a gag in June.) more critical.

touch the bottom of the plant pot. This way, water from the saucer will evaporate through the plant’s foliage and let it retain its buds, flowers and leaves. During the day, keep the plant in bright light — an ideal place is in front of a southern-exposure window. Both plants come from brightly lit areas, and leaves, flower and buds will drop if in the dark too long — remember, it starts getting dark on the Peninsula at 2 p.m. and is often overcast. Finally, drafts and cool breezes will kill your poinsettia and deflower your Christmas cactus, so think very carefully about placement, or create a wind (breeze) screen for these cherished plants. Buy and give these plants away as party favors because they are gorgeous — people in dark weather, especially now, enjoy these bright plants and flowers . . .

They were brought to England and hybridized 150 years ago. Today, there exist more than 100 cultivars, and this explosion of colors and types has caused it to prosper as a holiday gift or house plant. It can easily live 30 years or longer and is customarily passed on through families. Poinsettias come from Mexico along the Pacific coast south to Panama, with Costa Rica and Guatemala major producers of rooted plants for North American and world markets. They were brought to this country in 1828 by Joel Roberts Poinsett, who discovered them while serving as the first U.S. minister to Mexico. Poinsettias are one of the leading cash crops of greenhouses today, with more than 100 cultivars as well. But both plants are very sensitive to a lack of humidity. Poinsettias will drop their leaves and shrivel, while the lovely Christmas cacti will drop their buds, never to bloom well. The solution is simple: Get a large saucer or pan bigger by far than the pot, fill the saucer/pan with gravel, and place the plant on top of the rocks. Then, every day, add water to the saucer, but DON’T let water

Death and Memorial Notice Helen Elizabeth Winters August 26, 1921 October 18, 2010 Helen Elizabeth Winters, 89, passed away on October 18, 2010, at her Diamond Point residence. Helen was born August 26, 1921, in Texarkana, Arkansas, to Thomas Smith and Mamie Bussey Smith. She spent her youth there, graduated from business college and worked for the health department until her marriage in 1946 to Frank Hudson, which brought her to Bremerton, Washington. She raised her three children there and put in many hours of volunteer work for the Washington Association of Retarded Children chapter. That marriage ended in 1962, and she married the love of her life, George Winters, in 1965 and moved to Port Angeles.

Mrs. Winters George preceded Helen in death on June 1, 2010. She enjoyed living on the Olympic Peninsula for 45 years, spending her time hiking, camping, fishing and clamming on the local beaches.

vived by her son, Hal Hudson of Port Angeles; daughter, Diana Davidson (Ron) of Diamond Point; son, Larry Hudson (Vina) of West Linn, Oregon; stepdaughter, Christine Johnson (Bruce) of Eureka, California; stepson, Tom of Port Townsend; and grandson Nathan Winters of Sitka, Alaska. Surviving siblings include Margie Meadows of New Boston, Texas, Louise Hackett of Texarkana, Arkansas, Viola Cornett of Texarkana, Arkansas, and Bernice Lee of Gilmer, Texas.

Mrs. Donahue Brown, Eric (Dayna) Brown, Carrie (Christopher) Davis, Meghan (Derek) Adamire, Darren Peacock, and six greatgrandchildren, all of Port Angeles.

Death and Memorial Notice Carl Johan Didrickson March 9, 1910 November 26, 2010 Carl J. Didrickson entered his rest as the Sabbath was just beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, November 26, 2010, the day after Thanksgiving. A memorial service will be planned for early in the New Year at Dungeness Community Church. Carl was blessed with a good, long life of over 100 years. He was born in Chicago to immigrant parents from Norway and had many interesting stories to tell of his experiences when Chicago was a young and vibrant city. He had a 43-year career with the Illinois Bell Telephone Company, interrupted by service in the U.S. Navy as a communications equipment repair specialist based in San Diego. He was a member of the Telephone Pioneers. In 1972, he retired to Sequim and became active in the local community.

Mr. Didrickson Carl was preceded in death by his oldest son, Luther, in 2001 and his beloved wife, Kathryn, in 2007. Carl and Kathryn were married for 72 years. Carl is survived by his son, Jon, and wife, Jana; daughter-in-law, Sally Didrickson; five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Highlights of Carl and Kathryn’s travels include two trips to Israel, visiting relatives in their ancestral homeland of Norway, and attending the 350-year Jubilee Performance of the famous Passion Play in Oberammergau, Ger-

many. Carl was very self-disciplined and hard-working, well-organized and consistent. He was scrupulously honest and was respected by his friends. He manifested definite leadership qualities. He was one of the founding members of the Dungeness Community Church and had responsibilities for other Christian organizations. Carl committed his life to the Lord at an early age and had a deep and abiding faith in the saving work of Jesus Christ. He felt it was important to tithe and was faithful in attending church regularly. His mind remained clear and his good humor intact, despite increasing pain, at the end of his life. He died with no regrets, prayerfully, full of praise and thanksgiving to God, secure in his relationship with Christ. He remains a wonderful encouragement, inspiration and example to his family and friends. He will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved him.

Prisons to reduce costs by recycling inmate gear Peninsula Daily News news services

OLYMPIA — Felons reporting to state prison can forget about getting new uniforms and underwear. Instead, they’ll likely be getting hand-me-downs. Officials with the state Department of Corrections are using several new and creative ways to reduce costs, including giving inmates used uniforms and underwear, supplying them with shorter socks and replacing self-serve cafeteria juice fountains with juice boxes. There will be no more paper bags at prison stores and fewer trash-can liners. And offenders who want to visit a dying relative or attend a funeral will have to get someone

else besides the state to pay for the travel costs. Dan Pacholke, deputy director of prisons, said incoming inmates traditionally have been issued new clothes and about a halfdozen new pairs of underwear.

Employee suggestions But over the past eight months, DOC has started collecting used uniforms from inmates as they leave prison and, if the items are still wearable or in need of minor repairs, they are mended and handed down to other inmates. “Some of this has been employee suggestions, and some of it has been around sustainable thinking,” Pacholke said of the new policy.

Gregoire wants more auditors Desperate to bring in more money to deal with a gaping hole in the state budget, Gov. Chris Gregoire has announced plans to go after more companies that aren’t paying taxes. The governor called for hiring new state Department of Revenue auditors and tax return examiners to beef up enforcement efforts, which the state projects could bring in an additional $19 million over the next seven months.

Westport touts yachts at Saudi show Westport Shipyard, builder of those 164-foot mega-yachts at its plant on Marine Drive in Port Angeles, has sent a team of four people — one from Port Angeles and three from Westport’s sales office in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. — to the Saudi International Boat Show. The four-day event, which began Wednesday, was held at Al Furusya Marina & Yacht Club in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This is the second year for the show, which drew more than 37,000 visitors to its maiden event. Says Helal Saeed Almarri, CEO of the Dubai World Trade Centre, which organized the event: “Around one-third of the world’s fleet of super-yachts are owned by Middle East residents, many of whom originated from Saudi Arabia, which makes the Saudi International Boat Show the ideal platform for yacht builders to promote their luxury products and services.” Philip Purcell who heads up the Fort Lauderdale sales office and is vice president of Westport Shipyard, said, “Westport considers the Saudi International Boat Show a major opportunity to build on existing relationships and form new partnerships whilst showcasing the kind of products, customer support and expertise that has earned our brand a loyal global following.” Katie Wakefield, an administrative assistant at Westport, said team members have reported back to her that the show has been quite busy with a lot of foot traffic — and the anecdotal observation that the region does not appear to be as affected by the economic travails that

plague much of the rest of the world. Since I’m an unabashedly staunch supporter of the economic engine that is the waterfront, here’s hoping the team returns home with a full

order book. Westport’s success at the show translates into living-wage jobs on the North Olympic Peninsula.

Catamaran launched Joe Beck, who works in the sales department at Armstrong Marine, the aluminum boat fabricator on U.S. Highway 101 midway between Sequim and Port Angeles, said the company just launched Nevisian Spirit. She is a 45-foot, full-displacement catamaran that was designed by the Canadian naval architect, Scott Jutson. The boat, which is powered by twin 350-horsepower Cummins diesel engines and seats 49, will be used by the Four Seasons Resort in Nevis, Bahamas, to ferry guests to its complex from the airport in St. Kitts. Nevisian Spirit was put aboard the heavy-lift transport ship Beluga Elegance in Victoria on Friday for the three-week trip to Port Everglades, Fla. When the ship arrives Jan. 2, a crew will be standing by to drive the new vessel for the last 1,200 miles of the journey to the Bahamas. Joe also said that Armstrong

Both buildings will be situated east of the existing fabrication plant in what is now a popular mud bog. One of the buildings will be 117 feet by 50 feet and accommodate the need for increased manufacturing capacity. The second will be 50-footsquare and house the company’s woodworking shop.

In for maintenance Wednesday morning the articulated tug and barge, Petrochem

Trader, a 522-foot petroleum products barge, and her 144-foot pusher tug, Galveston, moored to Port of Port Angeles Terminal 1 north. According to Chandra “Hollywood” McGoff of Washington Marine Repair, the topside repair company on the waterfront, the company performed routine maintenance on the mechanism that mates the vessels together. The two vessels left Port Angeles well before daybreak on Thursday morning and are now under way to San Francisco.

Don’t forget the trailer when winterizing your boat In my column last week, there were a few timely suggestions about stowing boats for the winter season and safeguarding their mechanical and electronic components. It seems only appropriate to have a similar discussion about boat trailers which, for the most part, also spend the offseason outside and exposed to the elements. Consider spraying a lubricant such as WD-40 onto metal roller assemblies, winch gears and electrical connections to

keep the moisture away and rust at bay. It’s also a good time to take care of any rust spots on the metal frame rails by sanding, priming and painting trouble spots. In addition to being a deterrent to theft, removing the wheels and storing them in a garage or shed will also keep the sun from damaging the tires. With the wheels and tires safely stowed, this is an opportunity to repack the wheel bearings. Once that task is

complete, wrap commercial grade trash bags or a similar product around the hubs and brakes to keep them dry. If removing wheels and tires is not an option, position the trailer so that the tires rest on a piece of plywood or a plank to prevent dry rot. In a like fashion, cover the wheels and tires to keep the sun at bay and the brakes dry. To avoid flat spots from occurring on the tires, move the trailer a few inches periodically throughout the winter. In much the same way that an auto

club offers emergency road service, BoatUS offers a trailering club that includes “Trailer Assist” roadside assistance services for both disabled tow vehicles and boat trailers. Trailer Assist service is $14 annually and would make a great Christmas gift for the boating enthusiast. For more information on the BoatUS trailering club and all of the services provided, visit www.BoatUS.com or phone 800-395-2628. David G. Sellars

Angry Birds game flocks into smart phones By Jenna Wortham The New York Times

It sounds like a tough sell: A game that involves catapulting birds at elaborate fortresses constructed by evil pigs. But Angry Birds, a hit game by Rovio, a small Finnish company, is one of

the unlikeliest pop-culture crazes of the year — and perhaps the first to make the leap from cellphone screens to the mainstream. Angry Birds, in which the birds seek revenge on the egg-stealing pigs, is meant to be easily played in the checkout line and during other short windows of

downtime — but some players have trouble stopping. Rovio says people around the world rack up 200 million minutes of game play each day. (Put another way, that is 16 human-years of bird-throwing every hour.) The game has inspired parodies, homages and fervent testimonials. Home-

The trajectory of Angry Birds also suggests a larger shift in entertainment and in the kinds of brands that can win wide popularity. And unlike many of the best-known console video games — like the classic Super Mario Bros. from Nintendo or the latest in the Call of Duty series, from Activision — cellphone games like Angry Birds are often made by small companies and catch on by word of mouth. “There’s no more formula,” said James L.

made Angry Birds costumes were big hits on Halloween.

It has a shot at the big time.” On cell phones, he added, “anyone with coding skills, an idea and good characters can catch on without having to spend $100 million on a movie and marketing.” Anya Richardson, a technical writer and editor in Mulhall, Okla., got swept up in the Angry Birds craze when her 8-year-old son, Roenick, asked for a birthday cake based on the game.

Angry Birds cake Richardson spent nearly 80 hours crafting a twotiered concoction that included hand-shaped replicas of the game’s cranky fowl. “His birthday was in October, but I couldn’t finish the cake until November,” she said. Her son loved the cake so much that “he never let us cut it,” Ms. Richardson said. “I finally talked him into letting us get rid of it, but he kept most of the bird figures.” A photo of the cake ricocheted around the Web. “Requests from people who want one have been pouring in on Twitter and via e-mail,” she said. Fans of the game took to the streets on Saturday for Angry Birds Day, celebrating its first anniversary. Rovio worked with the Web service Meetup.com to help organize the gatherings in New York, London, Jakarta, Budapest and dozens of other cities, but fans stepped up to lead the gatherings. Rovio says it will create Angry Birds levels for the top 10 cities that celebrate Angry Birds Day.

Baby orca spotted in San Juan isles Peninsula Daily News news services

FRIDAY HARBOR — A newborn calf has been spotted with one of the three pods of Puget Sound’s endangered killer whales. It was photographed Monday in the San Juan Islands by Dave Ellifrit of the Center for Whale Research in Friday Harbor. He said it appeared to be just days old. The calf was given the Number L117. It brings the total Puget Sound orca population to 87.

Tracking orcas Also last week, federal biologists proposed a plan to track the orca pods by using tiny satellite trans-

mitters, attached to the killer whales’ dorsal fins with a dart fired from an airgun. The new study is considered important because the transmitters may stay on for up to three months and help researchers identify unknown forage areas. Protecting areas where the three pods hunt for food during winter could be a key to restoring this population of fish-eating orcas, known as Southern Residents, the biologists said. Darting the whales is considered the best way of attaching the transmitters with current technology, said Brad Hanson, principal investigator with NOAA’s Northwest Fisheries Science Center.

He said the technique has been used with no apparent harm on many species of whales and dolphins, including seal-eating transient killer whales. Even so, some killerwhale advocates — including The Whale Museum in Friday Harbor — raised questions about whether the benefits of tracking the whales during the winter outweigh the risks of piercing their skin with a dart, creating a possible entry point for disease. The Whale Museum has requested a public hearing on the issue before a permit is issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service, which oversees protection of marine mammals.

Custer’s Last Stand flag sold in N.Y. for $2.2 million The Associated Press

NEW YORK — After spending much of the last century in storage, the only U.S. flag not captured or lost during Custer’s Last Stand at the Battle of Little Bighorn sold at auction Friday for $2.2 million. The buyer was identified by the New York auction house Sotheby’s as an American private collector. Frayed, torn, and with possible bloodstains, the flag from one of America’s hallmark military engagements had been valued before its sale at up to $5 million. The 7th U.S. Cavalry flag— known as a “guidon” and with a distinctive swallow-tailed shape — had been the property of the Detroit Institute of Arts. On June 25, 1876, Lt. Col. George Armstrong

Modest agreements at climate talks Emissions pact OK’d in Cancun By John M. Broder The New York Times

CANCUN, Mexico — The United Nations climate change conference began with modest aims and ended early Saturday with modest achievements. But while the measures adopted here may have scant near-term impact on the warming of the planet, the international process for dealing with the issue got a significant vote of confidence. The agreement fell well short of the broad changes scientists say are needed to avoid dangerous climate change in coming decades. But it lays the groundwork for stronger measures in the future, if nations are able to overcome the emotional arguments that have crippled climate change negotiations in recent years. The package known as the Cancun Agreements gives the more than 190 countries participating in the conference another year to decide whether to extend the frayed Kyoto Protocol, the 1997 agreement that

requires most wealthy nations to trim their emissions while providing assistance to developing countries to pursue a cleaner energy future. The agreement is not a legally binding treaty, but the success of these talks allows the process to seek a more robust accord at next year’s climate conference in Durban, South Africa. “This is not the end, but it is a new beginning,” said Christiana Figueres, the Costa Rican diplomat who serves as executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. “It is not what is ultimately required, but it is the essential foundation on which to build greater, collective ambition.”

Bolivia’s objections The agreement sets up a new fund to help poor countries adapt to climate changes, creates new mechanisms for transfer of clean energy technology, provides compensation for the preservation of tropical forests and strengthens the emissions reductions pledges that came out of the last United Nations climate change meeting in Copenhagen last year. The conference approved the package over the objections of Bolivia, which con-

Bolivia’s chief climate negotiator, Pablo Solon, said that the emissions reductions laid out in the plan would allow global temperatures to rise as much as 4 degrees Celsius over the next half-century, twice the stated goal of the agreement and a level that would doom millions in the poor-

est and most vulnerable nations. But his protests did not block acceptance of the package. Todd Stern, the American climate envoy, said the package achieved much of what he had hoped, including a more solid commitment by all nations to take steps to reduce their green-

Web browser flaw bares all Sites secretly harvest data on user visits By Jordan Robertson The Associated Press

Programming code A few lines of programming code are all a site needs to pull it off. Although security experts have known for nearly a decade that such snooping is possible, the latest findings offer some of the first public evidence of sites exploiting the problem. Current versions of the Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers still allow this, as do older versions of Chrome and Safari, the researchers said. The report adds to growing worry about surreptitious surveillance by Internet companies and comes

they could only prove that 46 had done actual “history hijacking.” “Browser vendors should have fixed this a long time ago,” said Jeremiah Grossman, an Internet security expert at WhiteHat Security Inc., which wasn’t involved in the study. “It’s more evidence that we not only needed the fix, but that people really should upgrade their browsers. “Most people wouldn’t know this is possible.” The latest versions of Google Inc.’s Chrome and Apple Inc.’s Safari have automatic protections for this kind of snooping, researchers said. Mozilla Corp. said the next version of Firefox will have the same feature, adding that a workaround exists for some older versions as well. Microsoft Corp. noted that Internet Explorer users can enable a private browsing mode that prevents the browser from logging the user’s history, which prevents this kind of spying. But private browsing also strips away important benefits of the browser knowing its own history, such as displaying Google links you’ve visited in difBrowser histories ferent colors than those you Nearly 500 of the sites haven’t. studied had characteristics that suggested they could infer browsers’ histories, and more than 60 transferred browser histories to the network. But the researchers said

Government action Internet companies are obsessed with tracking users’ behavior so they can target their ads better. Uproar has prompted the Federal Trade Commission to propose rules that would limit advertisers’ ability to track Internet users to show them advertisements. The “Do Not Track” tool the commission is proposing could eventually take the form of a browser setting that tells advertisers which visitors are off limits; such a setting, though, wouldn’t necessarily block history sniffing. History sniffing is essentially a side-by-side comparison of Web pages you’ve already visited with Web pages that a particular site wants to see if you’ve visited. If there’s a match, users likely would never know, but the site administrators would learn a lot about their audiences. For instance, a popular porn site was checking its visitors’ histories to see if they’d visited 23 other pornography sites, and the code used on the Morningstar and NewsMax.com sites looked for matches against 48 specific Web pages, all related to Ford automobiles. Sites can carry on this kind of inspection very quickly. Grossman said modern programs can check as many as 20,000 Internet addresses per second.

JUNEAU, Alaska — State wildlife biologists have gunned down 12 wolves outside an Alaska village where pets were snatched and people were worried about the safety of residents. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game said the wolves were killed Thursday within six miles of Port Heiden, a community of more than 100 on the Alaska Peninsula about 484 miles southwest of Anchorage. Three young wolves were killed close to the village, and nine more were killed five miles to the north. Biologists said the wolves likely belonged to separate packs. Wolves had killed five dogs and two cats, mostly at night, but sightings during the day prompted many of the residents to arm themselves. To cull the state’s wolf packs, Alaska officials last week announced a plan to shoot wolves from airplanes.

SAN DIEGO — Dozens of websites have been secretly harvesting lists of places that their users previously visited online, everything from news articles to bank sites to pornography, a team of computer scientists found. The information is valuable for con artists to learn more about their targets and send them personalized attacks. It also allows e-commerce companies to adjust ads or prices — for instance, if the site knows you’ve just come from a competitor that is offering a lower price. Although passwords aren’t at risk, in harvesting a detailed list of where you’ve been online, sites can create thorough profiles on its users. The technique the University of California, San Diego researchers investigated is called “history sniffing” and is a result of the way browsers interact with websites and record where they’ve been.

as federal regulators in the U.S. are proposing a “Do Not Track” tool that would prevent advertisers from following consumers around online to sell them more products. The researchers found 46 sites, ranging from smutty to staid, that tried to pry loose their visitors’ browsing histories using this technique, sometimes with homegrown tracking code. Nearly half of the 46 sites, including financial research site Morningstar. com and news site Newsmax.com, used an ad-targeting company, Interclick, which said its code was responsible for the tracking. Interclick said the tracking was part of an eightmonth experiment that the sites weren’t aware of. The New York company said it stopped using the technique in October because it wasn’t successful in helping match advertisers to groups of Internet users. Interclick emphasized that it didn’t store the browser histories. Morningstar said it ended its relationship with Interclick when it found out about the program, and NewsMax said it didn’t know that history sniffing had been used on its users until The Associated Press called. NewsMax said it is investigating. The researchers studied far more sites — a total of the world’s 50,000 most popular sites — and said many more behaved suspiciously but couldn’t be proven to use history sniffing.

both worked on a trading desk at the firm, on a side of the business that wasn’t directly involved in the Ponzi scheme.

Wanted name change In February, Mark Madoff’s wife petitioned a court to change her last name and the last names of their two children, saying her family had gotten threats and was humiliated by the scandal. Just days ago, a courtappointed trustee filed a lawsuit seeking to recover any money from the fraud scheme that had been paid to members of the Madoff family, including Mark Madoff’s two young children. At least a half-dozen Madoff employees have also faced criminal charges. A year ago, the trustee, Irving Picard, sued several relatives, including Peter, Mark and Andrew, accusing them of failing to detect the fraud while living lavish lifestyles financed with the family’s ill-gotten fortune. The lawsuit accused Mark Madoff of using $66 million he received improperly to buy luxury homes in New York City, Nantucket and Connecticut. Bernard Madoff is serving a 150-year prison sentence in North Carolina. Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Traci Billingsley said Saturday she didn’t have specific information on whether he had been informed of his son’s death or would be allowed to attend a service.

Madoff trustee seeks billions from Austrian banker The New York Times

NEW YORK — A prominent Austrian banker who portrayed herself for two years as one of Bernard Madoff’s biggest victims has been accused of conspiring for 23 years to funnel more than $9 billion into his immense global Ponzi scheme. The accusations were made in a civil lawsuit that sought damages of $19.6 billion, the sum of the cash lost in a fraud that wiped out nearly $65 billion in paper wealth and ruined thousands of investors on almost every rung of the economic ladder. The central defendant in the complaint is Sonja Kohn, who was the hub of a complex network of European and Caribbean funds that channeled money to Madoff. A well-connected banker in her native Vienna, Kohn insisted she never suspected her trusted friend was running a global Ponzi scheme. In reality, according to the complaint, she knowingly raised billions of dol-

lars in cash to sustain Madoff’s fraud in exchange for at least $62 million in secret kickbacks, payments she insisted be handed over face-to-face and never put in the mail. The lawsuit says her collusion was so pivotal to the fraud that Madoff tried to destroy evidence of their connection before his arrest in 2008.

Other suits The civil complaint against Kohn was part of a fusillade of litigation filed in federal bankruptcy court in Manhattan during the past month by Irving Picard, the trustee trying to recover assets for victims who sustained cash losses in the fraud. The trustee had until midnight Saturday — the second anniversary of Madoff’s arrest — to file any lawsuits seeking to recover cash withdrawn from the Ponzi scheme before its collapse. Picard has recently sued more than a dozen major

Another $120,000 will be saved annually by replacing self-serve juice fountains in prison cafeterias with juice boxes. Altogether, the cuts in socks, can liners, juice fountains and funeral and death-bed visits will save the state $405,000. Last month, officials announced they would close McNeil Island Corrections Center next year, a move expected to save about $13 million through the end of 2013. Earlier this year, the DOC closed two minimumsecurity prisons — Ahtanum View Corrections Center in Yakima and Pine Lodge Corrections Center for Women near Spokane.

Daylong lockdowns In addition, the state’s eight medium- to maximum-security prisons, including the Clallam Bay Corrections Center, will have day-long lockdowns once a month. Cell confinements are usually done as a security measure, but officials are anticipating the planned lockdowns will save staffing costs for libraries, visitations and recreation, said Chad Lewis, a DOC spokesman. DOC also has made massive cuts in health services, prison programs and community corrections supervision in recent years. “We’ve eliminated 1,400 positions in the past three years,” Lewis said. “The cuts have been broad and deep.” DOC is trying to shrink its budget by $53 million. Legislators assembled in Olympia on Saturday for an emergency special session to work on the state’s current $1.1 billion budget deficit. The state is facing an estimated $4.6 billion shortfall for its next fiscal cycle from mid-2011 to mid-2013.

Auditors: Seeking deadbeats Continued from D1 Specifically, Gregoire wants to hire six new in-state auditors, which would free up another half-dozen experienced auditors to go after out-of-state companies. The state already has 50 people doing those types of audits. This would increase those efforts, said Mike Gowrylow, a spokesman for the state Department of Revenue. The governor also wants to hire seven people to increase scrutiny of tax returns for five months. In addition, Gregoire is proposing a tax amnesty program that would waive interest and penalties from Feb. 1 through May 31 of next year for companies that agree to pay their back taxes. The state projects that program would bring in an additional $24 million. The Governor’s Office said the amnesty program would require approval from the state Legislature. Hiring new auditors and tax return examiners can be done without legislative approval. Peninsula Daily News news sources

Pay limits rapped WASHINGTON — The top executive at General Motors said Friday that the automaker’s attempt to rebound from its bankruptcy is being hindered by salary limits the government has clamped on executives at companies that accepted federal bailouts. GM CEO Dan Akerson said in a speech to the Economic Club of Washington, D.C., that the Akerson company faces many challenges, including the retention of top talent in its executive ranks. He suggested relaxing the pay limits, and said he was meeting later in the day with federal officials who oversee executive compensation for companies that received bailouts. Akerson said he recently informed executives there would be no salary increases in 2011 for about 26,000 white-collar workers.

OPEC holds line QUITO, Ecuador — OPEC ministers decided Saturday to keep oil output at current levels, citing ample inventories amid persisting global economic uncertainty and a price of just under $90 a barrel. The 12-member cartel said after an unusually short meeting that it based its decision on projections showing demand for crude would grow more slowly in 2011 than this year. It’s statement also cited the “challenging risks to the fragile global economic recovery” including “fears of a second banking crisis in Europe.” The world’s major industrialized nations continue to face “lower industrial output, lagging private consumption as well as persistently high unemployment,” the ministers added. “The market is in balance and is stable,” Oil minister Ali Naimi of Saudi Arabia, OPEC’s biggest producer, told reporters. “The fundamentals are good.” OPEC’s next scheduled gathering is June 2 in Vienna, its home.

Of course, that’s the same deal that triggered a mini insurrection among House Democrats. On Thursday, the House Democratic Caucus thumbed Obama’s compromise in a non-binding vote. The sales tax deductions were created in 2004 to allow filers in states with no state income taxes to deduct sales taxes instead. In 2008, nearly 860,000 taxpayers in Washington state, or 27 percent, itemized their sales taxes, according to the Internal Revenue Service. The deductions averaged $2,011, or worth $563 per return, assuming a 28 percent marginal tax rate. Both of Washington’s two Democratic senators, Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, have said renewing the sales-tax deductions is a priority. But doing that has become a perennial game of political brinkmanship, with this year a no exception.

Drug combo promising for beast cancer Peninsula Daily News news services

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — New drug combinations are helping women with early breast cancer. Using two drugs that more precisely target tumors doubled the number of women whose cancer disappeared compared to those who had only one of the drugs, doctors reported. However, another study added to the controversy over Avastin for breast cancer. Most women who received the drug for a few months before surgery fared no better than those who did not, it found. The Avastin study drew high interest because the Food and Drug Administration is considering revoking the drug’s approval for breast cancer that has widely spread. The studies were presented Friday at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. The good news study was the first test of Herceptin and Tykerb together for early-stage disease. They aim at a protein called HER-2 that is overproduced in about one-fourth of all breast cancers. Herceptin blocks the protein on the cell’s surface; Tykerb does it inside the cell. Dr. Jose Baselga, associate director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, led a study when he previously worked in Barcelona, Spain, that tested these drugs alone and in combination in 455 patients who also were given the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel. The patients were treated for about four months before surgery to remove their tumors and for nine months afterward. Doctors have been testing drugs in advance of surgery to shrink tumors and make

the operation less drastic, and to get an idea quickly if these drugs will help a patient. Just over half of the women who received Herceptin and Tykerb were discovered to have no signs of invasive cancer when their surgeries were done, versus only 25 to 30 percent of those given just one of these drugs. Tykerb had more side effects, mostly diarrhea. But the main side effect of combo treatment is to the wallet: Tykerb pills cost $5,000 to $6,000 per month. Herceptin costs more than $4,000 a month plus whatever doctors charge to infuse it. “The possibility that we have here is to enhance the number of patients that are cured” and avoid more treatment down the line that might cost more, Baselga said. However, Dr. Neil Spector of the Duke Cancer Institute said cost “is a real consideration.” Yet he called the results “really exciting” and said the future of cancer care is approaches like this that use targeted drugs well matched to patients’ tumor profiles. British-based GlaxoSmithKline PLC makes Tykerb; California-based Genentech, now part of the Swiss company Roche, makes Herceptin. Glaxo helped pay for the study. On Thursday, one of the most promising new approaches for fighting breast cancer took a stunning setback when a major study showed that a bonebuilding drug did not stop cancer from returning or extend life for most women fighting the disease. However, the drug Zometa did seem to help certain postmenopausal women. Its maker, Novartis AG, is considering further study.

Port Angeles High School Principal Garry Cameron, left, and athletic director Dwayne Johnson, seated at right, meet with Price Ford Lincoln Mercury sales managers Mark Ostroot, standing at left, and Joel Elliott, second from right, and owner David Price, right. Price Ford presented a check for $3,140 to the high school reflecting the money raised during the “Drive One 4ur School” promotion in October. During the promotion, which will be repeated next spring, contributions to the high school’s athletic programs were made based on the number of people who test-drove new Ford vehicles.

Obama still trying to kick cigarettes The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama apparently hasn’t had a cigarette since March, but the White House stopped short of declaring that he has officially kicked the habit bedeviling millions of Americans. “I have not seen or witnessed evidence of any smoking in probably nine months,” White House press secretary Robert Gibbs

replied when asked at his regular media briefing about Obama’s habit. Has the president quit smoking? Gibbs wasn’t ready to make that declaration. “For that nine months, yes,” he said. “I don’t want to be flip. I think the president would be the first one to tell you that it’s a struggle.” The update on Obama’s continued fight against the addictive powers of nicotine

followed Thursday’s release of the latest U.S. Surgeon General’s report to warn the public about tobacco’s risks, including how it immediately begins to poison the body. About 46 million adults, or one in five, still smoke. Millions more are regularly exposed to other people’s fumes. Gibbs said he thought Obama was still chewing nicotine gum to help him quit.

THEIR

(Answers Monday) GRIMY IMPEND BROKEN Jumbles: DOWDY Answer: What the down-and-out handyman did when he needed cash — “WIRED” FOR MONEY

The Last Word in Astrology LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Not everything will be crystal clear, especially when it involves contracts, legal settlements or financial matters. You will have to do your own fact finding. A sudden change is likely to occur if you are too open about your personal life. 3 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Rethink your strategy for the future and make amends with someone you have not treated properly. Lend a helping hand or give to those less fortunate. A disciplined attitude will help you finish projects. 2 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take stock of what you have managed to accomplish and what still needs to be done. You can make a decision regarding a course, activity or hobby you want to get involved in. If you are single, you will attract someone who can fulfill your dreams, hopes and wishes. 4 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t complain about things that don’t go your way. Focus on your ideas, the people you love and what you can do to make your world a better place. Greater involvement in helping others will earn you respect and new friendships. 3 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Visit anyone or anyplace that will help you move forward. It’s a time to reflect and to revisit your accomplishments and your failures so that you can realign your goals and set the course. 4 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Emotions will flare up if you don’t get your way. Try not to lose control when dealing with others. There will be other opportunities, under better conditions, if you bide your time and wait for the right moment. 2 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Pay more attention to what’s going on at home and to the people you live with. You can make a difference if you are aware of the situations that others face. Stand up for your beliefs but don’t get involved in an argument that solves nothing. 3 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Review your financial situation. Now is the time to lend a helping hand to those who have been there for you and supported your efforts. Give and take will lead to a closer bond with the people who mean the most to you. 3 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll be in the right place at the right time. Don’t let any opportunity pass you by. A new position or partnership can lead to all sorts of possibilities. Love is on the rise. You will find good deals if you go shopping. 5 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Enjoy old friends, your lover and, of course, your family. A quiet get-together will give you some great ideas for pleasing others. Decorating for year-end festivities will relieve tension. Tie up loose ends and move on. 5 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will be able to make some interesting investments that will help you get ahead financially in the new year. Present or promote what you have to offer. A romantic evening can lead to an understanding. 3 stars

BY EUGENIA LAST

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t let incompetence or what others do or say frustrate you. Focus on what you can accomplish. Don’t fall behind when dealing with banks, institutions or government agencies. 3 stars

John Gray would imagine that discretion in the workplace is always a smart thing. Getting caught making out in the mailroom isn’t a strategy for advancement in any office. However, if there is a policy against it and guilt is eating at your girlfriend, perhaps one — or both — of you should consider checking out other employment opportunities. If you get caught, it may mean firing you both, which eliminates the safety net you both enjoy now anyway. Relationships are tested every day in so many ways.

Dear First Impressions: I agree that a first date is important. If your breakout has you nervous, that won’t enhance the impression you want to make. Do yourself a favor and put it off until you feel and look your best. Say that “something has come up” (since it has) and ask for a rain check. At the same time, stay in touch frequently by phone and e-mail. That way when you do meet, you’ll already know what to talk about: all those things you’ve discovered you have in common.

PORT TOWNSEND — For much of the decade Denise Winter has lived here, she’s been on the road with the Rockettes. Yes, those tall, leggy dancers who make the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, the New York City-born touring show, were Winter’s charges. As production stage manager of “the grandest holiday show of all time,” according to Time magazine, she

marshaled a cast and crew of 100 around the United States, from rehearsals in September to the final shows of the season in January.

Drama of Christmas With all that brightly lit Christmas pageantry — from New York to California, from 2000 to 2006 — you might think she’d had her fill of holiday shows. But Winter, 45, is still all about Christmas — and she’ll be home for

it. She’s the artistic director of Key City Public Theatre, a company she’s taking toward professional and regional status — and this season, she’s acting in her first main-stage role of her better-than-20-year career in theater. The costume is a simple one, in high contrast to the fancy getups she’s used to managing for other performers. Turn

Winter: Portrays reindeer in Christmas play Continued from 3

Denise Winter, artistic director of Key City, chose a reindeer comedy, a Dickens story and a Hans Christian Andersen tale for this holiday season.

Winter wears a set of antlers to tell audiences that she’s Dancer, one of Santa’s transportation team, in “The Eight: Reindeer Monologues,” at the Key City Playhouse through next Sunday, Dec. 19. “The Eight,” a play by Jeff Goode, isn’t your runof-the-mill Christmas sweetness. It’s a dark and sly comedy about reindeer Vixen’s accusation of sexual harassment in her workplace, and the testimonies given by her colleagues Cupid, Comet, Dancer, Blitzen, Donner, Dasher and Hollywood, who is Prancer’s replacement in this particular story.

Reindeer character “Dancer is on the fence,” Winter says of her character. She’s not sure whether to side with the other females, out of sisterly solidarity, or to speak up for the alleged harasser — Santa, of all people — who she says has always been fair to her. The story is “pretty outrageous,” said Winter. “It’s

so different from what we normally do.” And while “The Eight” is funny with a poignant ending, it also rings true on its topic, she believes. Winter herself watched a sexual harassment case unfold during a tour of a children’s show she managed

some years back. “The Eight” as just one of the holiday shows Winter has chosen for this year. The others are “The Little Match Girl,” a Hans Christian Andersen-inspired family story that closes today with a 2:30 p.m. matinee and a 7:30 p.m. show,

and “Seven Poor Travellers,” a Charles Dickens play about wanderers who meet at an inn on Christmas Eve. “Travellers” opens Tuesday night and plays through Dec. 22. This is one of the busier Christmas seasons Winter has spent in Port

Townsend; she wouldn’t have it any other way. Key City is not calling itself a community theater group any longer, Winter says. And she is part of a paid staff steering the organization into a new era, in which professional actors as well as amateurs

have a place on the stage. And Key City’s growth has been dramatic. When Winter arrived five years ago, the company’s annual budget was $25,000. Today, it’s nearly $250,000, and the Public Theatre puts on about 130 events per year, from simple, staged readings to the West Coast premiere of the musical “Here’s to the Ladies.” There’s also Shakespeare in Chetzemoka Park in summertime and a nearly three-week, nineshow Playwrights Festival with guest Lee Blessing this coming February. Then Winter and her partner, audio engineer Albert Mendez — who commutes from Port Townsend to his work at Seattle’s Benaroya Hall — will take a vacation. “This year, we might just blow out at home,” Winter said.

Women back into dating pool after divorce TODAY, WE HEAR from two women who have re-entered the dating world after years of marriage . . .

Annie I was thrust back into dating at age 43 after 18 years of marriage. I hadn’t dated since I was a teenager. Dating has changed so very much that most of us just don’t know what to do. In my opinion, no one really dates anymore. Now, I can’t speak for the guys, but I know what this gal

dating centers around sex. And we’re not talking 20-somethings here. Online dating is about meeting, going on a date, then having sex. It’s not about relationships, although everyone seems to say that’s what they want. I’ve also found that if you’re a bit different, you might as well paint yourself purple and speak pig Latin.

“I said, ‘That’s a good point,’” Winter recalled. These days, she finds satisfaction in the caliber of Key City’s productions, the fact that they’re creating paying jobs for artists, and in the flowering of the company as a whole. The growth Key City has experienced in recent years — in number of shows and in the people who come to see them — has happened amid the recession, Winter added. “That,” she said, “is something I’m really proud of.”

Peninsula Woman

SEATTLE — Carol Swarbrick Dries knows how to have a blast at work. She’s landed an especially enjoyable job this month: playing a school marm who morphs into two very different forms in “A Christmas Story: The Musical!” now having its world premiere at downtown Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre. As Miss Shields, Swarbrick Dries — a stage actress and singer who lives in Dungeness — is the star of a child’s fantasies both bright and dark. In “A Christmas Story,”

11-year-old Ralphie (played by Clarke Hallum) desperately wants a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. He writes an essay about this for his teacher, in hopes she’ll be impressed enough to recommend that his parents rush out and purchase the thing. Fantasy No. 1 has Swarbrick Dries in full Elizabethan finery, singing Ralphie’s praises and comparing him to Shakespeare. What really happens: She gives him a C-plus on the essay. Which brings on fantasy No. 2, teacher as wicked witch, frighteningly costumed and cackling. “I get to sing two wonderful songs — about grammar,” adds Swarbrick Dries.

Carol Swarbrick Dries of Dungeness, seen here in a performance last fall with the Peninsula Singers, is starring in “A Christmas Story: The Musical!” playing through Dec. 30 at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre. There’s “Grammar Lessons,” about correct conjugation, and “Sheer Poetry,” her view of Ralphie’s essay in fantasy No. 1.
