100s feel quake 4.8-magnitude temblor produces no damage BY PAUL GOTTLIEB PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — An earthquake near Vancouver Island jarred many but left the North Olympic Peninsula and British Columbia unscathed. More than 300 Peninsula residents reported bumps and rattles when a 4.8-magnitude temblor born deep in the earth hit near Vancouver Island at about 11:39 p.m. Tuesday, according to the University of
Washington’s Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN), which has two seismometers in the Sequim area. “There were only a few seconds of shaking,” PNSN spokesman Bill Steele said Wednesday. Kyle Ellis, 33, of Port Angeles was watching television when two lamps on the side of his couch shook. “It just felt like a wave,” he recalled Wednesday. “I guess my whole house shook.”
Friday Harbor
He said he wasn’t scared. “But it kind of threw me for a bit,” Ellis added. No tsunami watches were in effect across the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Steele said that at 32 miles down, the quake was too deep to generate monster wave action, “way too deep.” Nor did emergency services personnel report any damage, Clallam County and Jefferson County public safety officials said. Steele said the earthquake’s core radiated from about 32 to 36 miles north of Port Angeles near Sydney in waters off the Saanich Peninsula and 12.5 miles north of Victoria. TURN

SEQUIM — The new west trestle of the Railroad Bridge, which repairs a temporary gap in the Olympic Discovery Trail, was dedicated Wednesday with cedar boughs, blessings and speeches praising the improvements made at the Dungeness River crossing. About 150 area residents braved a chilly day to witness the ceremony marking the end of a 10-month closure while the 570-foot wooden trestle, which had been damaged in a February storm, was replaced with a steel 750-foot trestle. The $1.53 million project was opened to the public last Thursday. Ron Allen, CEO of the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe, oversaw the ceremony and noted that the bridge was part of the very first section of the Olympic Discovery Trail to open. TURN

Today is the last day to make a donation and get a receipt for a tax deduction for 2015. What the Home Fund will do for our neighbors in Jefferson and Clallam counties next year depends on how much is raised this year. This year, using the $271,981

The alcohol-free celebration will feature live music, dance, storytelling, theater and hands-on games and children’s activities. “For us, it focuses on the kids, but there are a lot of activities for the adults — music, dancing and the theatrical” performances, Tennent said. At 9 p.m. — midnight in Times Square — Port Townsend will usher in 2016 with the raising of an illuminated anchor created by sculptor Thaddeus Jurczynski at Madison Street, followed by fireworks provided by David Chuljian launched from Memorial Field. “The cool thing is that it ends at 9 o’clock, so people can go and party . . . afterwards, or they can

Newsmakers Celebrity scoop ■ By The Associated Press
Pot industry tries to build celeb brands SNOOP DOGG HAS his own line of marijuana. So does Willie Nelson. Melissa Etheridge has a marijuana-infused wine. As the fast-growing marijuana industry emerges from the black market and starts looking like a mainstream industry, there’s a scramble to brand and trademark pot products. The celebrity endorsements are just the latest attempt to add cachet to a line of weed. Snoop Dogg calls his eight strains of weed “Dank From the Doggfather Himself.” Nelson’s yet-to-bereleased line says the pot is “born of the awed memories of musicians who visited Willie’s bus after a show.” The pot industry’s makeshift branding efforts, from celebrity names on boxes of weed to the many weedthemed T-shirts and stickers common in towns with a legal marijuana market, show the industry taking halting steps toward the mainstream. Problem is, those weed brands aren’t much more substantial than the labels they’re printed on. Patents and trademarks are largely regulated by the federal government, which considers marijuana an illegal drug and therefore ineligible for any sort of legal protection. The result is a Wild West environment of marijuana

Consumers have no way of knowing that celebritybranded pot is any different than what they could get in a plastic baggie from a corner drug dealer. “You can’t go into federal court to get federal benefits if you’re a drug dealer,” said Sam Kamin, a University of Denver law professor who tracks marijuana law. That doesn’t mean that the pot business isn’t trying. Hundreds of marijuanarelated patents have likely been requested from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, according to those who work in the industry. Exact numbers aren’t available because pending patent details aren’t public. So far, federal authorities have either ignored or rejected marijuana patent and trademark requests, as in the 2010 case of a California weed-delivery service that applied to trademark its name, “The Canny Bus.” “They haven’t issued a single patent yet. But gener-

RUBY CAVANAUGH, 93, the woman whose love for 1940s music and culture inspired her son to create a chain of diners in her name, has died. A spokeswoman for the Ruby’s Diner restaurant chain said Mrs. Cavanaugh died Sunday in Tustin, Calif., from natural causes. She was born in Jefferson City, Mo., and moved with her family to California in 1936.

From PENINSULA DAILY NEWS and Port Angeles Evening News
1940 (75 years ago) Bidding farewell to a prosperous year that produced the greatest industrial payroll flow in its history, Port Angeles tonight will welcome the new year of 1941 with expectations of an even more prosperous 12-month period ahead. Definite evidence of the community’s general economic condition in 1940 came today with a report from Postmaster A.J. Cosser that postal receipts here for the year set an alltime Port Angeles record, exceeding $56,000. A record-breaking Christmas volume helped carry the year’s total some $4,000 over the 1939 mark and $1,000 or more past the previous high level of $55,047.02, set in 1937.

1990 (25 years ago) Seventy years ago Tuesday, a new year began with the birth of Virigina Perry of Sequim. In this day and age, being a New Year’s baby is sometimes akin to winning the lottery twice. Mom and Dad are doubly blessed with a bundle of joy plus a bundle of New Year’s Day goodies courtesy of the hospital and area merchants. After all, giving gifts is an age-old New Year’s Day custom dating back to Victorian England — though the recipients then were the royal family. But when Perry entered the world, born in her parents’ home on a cold, wind-swept South Dakota prairie, “they didn’t even record the hour I was born.”

A3 Briefly: Nation Officials: Teen unlikely to be deported soon HOUSTON — The Texas teenager known for using an “affluenza” defense in a fatal drunken-driving accident likely won’t return to the U.S. anytime soon because of a Mexican judge’s decision to delay his deportation, U.S. law enforcement officials said Wednesday. Richard Hunter, chief deputy U.S. marshal for the southern district of Texas, said during a news conference in Houston that a Couch three-day injunction granted to Ethan Couch will likely take at least two weeks to resolve. Authorities believe the 18-year-old, sentenced only to probation for the 2013 wreck in Texas, fled to Puerto Vallarta with his mother as prosecutors investigated whether he had violated his probation. Couch’s mother, Tonya Couch, was put on a plane Wednesday to be flown from Guadalajara to Los Angeles, an official with Mexico’s National Immigration Institute told The Associated Press.
Secret Service in crash CONCORD, N.H. — An unlicensed driver trying to pass a car on a snowy road in New Hampshire died after colliding head-on with a car carrying four Secret Service agents on Democratic presidential candidate
Hillary Clinton’s protective detail, police said Wednesday. The accident happened shortly after 7 p.m. Tuesday in Wakefield, near the Maine state line. The agents were in a Ford Taurus heading south on Route 16, Wakefield police said. A northbound Mercury Sable with three people inside crossed over a double yellow solid line and hit the agents’ Taurus. The Sable driver, Bruce Danforth, 45, died. Police said an autopsy has been done on him, and they were awaiting bloodanalysis results, which would take weeks. A Secret Service spokeswoman said the agents sustained serious but non-lifethreatening injuries. Their names have not been released.
Insurance on victim PIERRE, S.D. — A former police chief in South Dakota charged with killing his pregnant fiance in a shooting that long appeared to be a hunting accident helped take out more than $750,000 in life insurance policies on her months before she died, according to prosecutors. Prosecutors in Russell Bertram’s case want to present evidence of the policies and alleged past insurance fraud during the trial scheduled to begin in February. Bertram, 64, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. He was indicted in September for the 2009 killing of Leonila Stickney, who was his 26-year-old fiancee. The Gregory County Sheriff’s Office initially said officials believed Stickney’s death was the result of an accidental shooting. State authorities took over the inquiry as a cold case in 2010.

Bill Cosby is charged with 2004 sex crime Comedian, 78, is released on $1 million bail BY MARYCLAIRE DALE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ELKINS PARK, Pa. — Bill Cosby was arrested in the twilight of his life and career Wednesday and charged with a decadeold sex crime after a barrage of accusations from dozens of women made a mockery of his image as TV’s wise and understanding Dr. Cliff Huxtable. Using a cane, the 78-year-old comedian walked slowly and unsteadily into court on the arms of his lawyers to answer charges he drugged and sexually assaulted a woman less than half his age at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. He and his attorneys had no comment as he was released on $1 million bail. The case marks the first time Cosby has been charged with sexual misconduct despite years of lurid allegations, and sets the stage for perhaps the biggest Hollywood celebrity trial of the
mobile-news era. The former “Cosby Show” star and celebrated breaker of TV’s racial barriers was charged with aggravated indecent assault, punishable by five to 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine. He did not have to enter a plea at his court appearance.
Statute of limitations The decision to prosecute him came down just days before Pennsylvania’s 12-year statute of limitations for bringing charges was set to run out. Prosecutors accused Cosby of plying former Temple University employee Andrea Constand with pills and wine, then penetrating her with his fingers without her consent while she was drifting in and out of consciousness, unable to resist or cry out. She was “frozen, paralyzed, unable to move,” Montgomery County District Attorney-elect Kevin Steele said. In court papers, prosecutors said the drugs were the cold medicine Benadryl or some other, unidentified substance. Steele noted that Cosby has admitted giving quaaludes to women he wanted to have sex with.
C o s b y acknowledged under oath a decade ago that he had sexual contact with Constand but said it was consensual. Wearing a Cosby black-andwhite hooded sweater into court, Cosby seemed to have trouble seeing the paperwork and finding the place to sign, and his lawyers helped him hold the pen. But he seemed at ease, laughing and chatting with his attorneys. When the judge said, “Good luck, Mr. Cosby,” he shouted: “Thank you!” The case represents an aboutface by the district attorney’s office, which under a previous DA declined to charge Cosby in 2005 when Constand first told police that the comic violated her by putting his hands down her pants at his home in Cheltenham. Prosecutors reopened the case over the summer as damaging testimony was unsealed in Constand’s related civil lawsuit against Cosby and as dozens of other women came forward with similar accusations that destroyed his good-guy image as America’s Dad.
Briefly: World Turkey reports foiling plans for holiday attack ANKARA, Turkey — With less than 48 hours left in 2015, Turkey on Wednesday became the latest country to announce the foiling of a holiday attack plot, detaining two suspected Islamic State militants believed to be planning suicide bombings during New Year celebrations in the capital city of Ankara. The men were detained in a raid on a house in the Mamak neighborhood, where police seized a suicide vest armed with a bomb, a second Mayeur explosive device that was fortified with ball bearings and metal sticks and concealed inside a backpack, as well as bomb-making equipment, according to the prosecutor’s office. In Belgium, an investigation was continuing into what authorities characterized as a “serious threat” of holiday season attacks directed at police, soldiers and popular attractions in the capital city of Brussels. The arrest of two suspects was announced Tuesday by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office. No weap-
ons or explosives were found. Brussels Mayor Yvane Mayeur announced Wednesday evening that a New Year’s Eve fireworks display and related festivities planned for today in the city center were being canceled.
Iran’s rocket test DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The U.S. on Wednesday accused Iran of launching a “highly provocative” rocket test Saturday near its warships and commercial traffic passing through the Strait of Hormuz, exposing how tensions between the two countries could escalate after a landmark nuclear deal. The incident brought no immediate response from Iranian officials or media, while French authorities downplayed its danger. On Saturday, the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, the USS Bulkeley destroyer and a French frigate, the FS Provence, were passing through the strait, said Cmdr. Kyle Raines, a U.S. Central Command spokesman. As they passed, Iranian Revolutionary Guard vessels, hailing other ships in the strait over maritime radio, announced they’d be carrying out a live-fire exercise, Raines said in a statement. After 23 minutes, the Iranian boats fired “several unguided rockets” about 1,500 yards from the warships and commercial traffic, he said. The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — A rare winter flood threatened nearly two dozen federal levees in Missouri and Illinois on Wednesday as rivers rose, prompting evacuations in several places.

But people were moving out just in case, including the St. Louis suburb of Valley Park,

where Mayor Michael Pennise ordered mandatory evacuations for 350 to 400 homes and dozens of businesses in the section of town near the fast-rising Meramec River. Swollen rivers and streams have been pushed to heights not seen since the massive 1993 floods in some places. At least 20 deaths over several days in Missouri and Illinois were blamed on flooding, mostly involving vehicles that drove onto swamped roadways, and at least two people were still missing Wednesday. And in northern Oklahoma,
which also has seen flooding, search teams went out for a third day in hopes of finding a country music singer from Arkansas who disappeared while duck hunting.

Jay Nixon has activated the National Guard to assist with security in evacuated areas and to help keep road closure sites clear.

World: 8 survivors found 5 days after mine collapse
THE WATER CONTENT of the Sierra Nevada snowpack in droughtstricken California was 136 percent of normal Wednesday when officials took the winter’s first manual survey — an encouraging result after nearly no snow was found at the site in April. The latest snow level is a good sign, “but that’s it — it’s a start,” said Frank Gehrke, chief of the California Cooperative Snow Surveys Program for the Department of Water Resources. The snowpack provides about 30 percent of California’s water supply during the months when it melts and rushes through rivers and streams to fill reservoirs that remain critically low.
MAYOR RAHM EMANUEL said Wednesday that Chicago police must be better trained to distinguish between when they can use a gun and when they should use a gun, after a series of shootings by officers sparked protests and complaints that police are too quick to fire their weapons. Emanuel announced changes in police training and department policies on use of force during a news conference. He also said the Police Department will double the number of Tasers available to officers — from 700 to 1,400— as he works to restore public trust in the police force and his administration.

The mother was asleep when she heard someone enter her home late Tuesday, St. Cloud police Sgt. Denise Roberts said Wednesday. The mother told police she heard footsteps approaching quickly, so she fired a single shot. She then discovered the person was her 27-year-old daughter, according to a news release from police. The daughter was taken to a hospital where she died. The mother also was taken to a hospital for treatment.

The disaster on Christmas Day at the gypsum mine in Shandong province killed at least one worker. Nine others remain missing, and 11 made it to safety or were rescued early on. Infrared cameras detected the surviving miners waving their hands Wednesday, and rescuers were drawing up plans to pull them to safety, said state broadcaster China Central Television.

Quake: Weak-to-light shake Trestle: Crossing CONTINUED FROM A1 “You are looking at an intensity of shaking all in the weak-tolight range,” Steele said. But he added that visitors flooded the network’s website (www.pnsn.org) with 12,000 earthquake “felt-it” reports. “This was picked up across the entire Pacific Northwest,” Steele said.
“Things do happen.” Steele said the earthquake was equal to the 4.8-magnitude temblor near Poulsbo in 2003. The Nisqually earthquake of February 2001 was a magnitude of 6.8.
here were 310 felt-it reports from Clallam and Jefferson counties. There were 146 from Port Angeles, 86 from Sequim and 49 from Port Townsend. Four came from Forks and two from Clallam Bay.
T
Not Cascadia Zone Steele said Tuesday’s quake did not emanate from the 620-mile-long offshore fault known as the Cascadia Subduction Zone. That’s the connection point, or lock zone, of the North American tectonic plate and the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate. They grind together 18.5 to 37 miles below the Earth’s surface, including Clallam and Jefferson counties. Experts predict that a massive quake, perhaps more than 9.0 magnitude, occurs every 300 to 500 years on the Cascadia Subduction Zone — although no one can say when the next will happen. Tuesday’s temblor originated in the Juan de Fuca plate. The ocean slab is breaking apart below the North American plate. Cameron and Hamlin noted that planning is underway for an earthquake and tsunami exercise beginning June 7. “Cascadia Rising” will include participation from the Washington National Guard and other state agencies. It also will involve agencies from Oregon, Northern California and British Columbia. The officials are planning a response to a rupturing of the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The Cascadia Fault last snapped in 1700.
310 on Peninsula There were 310 felt-it reports from Clallam and Jefferson counties. There were 146 from Port Angeles, 86 from Sequim and 49 from Port Townsend. Four came from Forks and two from Clallam Bay. “You can assume that the actual number of people who felt it was much higher,” Steele said. They did not include Paul Beck, who lives on Lake Farm Road east of Port Angeles and about a mile east of Deer Park. “We felt nothing,” Beck said Wednesday. Others did.
Far-away reports People in Port Ludlow and as far away as Olympia and Bellingham reported feeling the quake on the U.S. Geological Survey website (www.usgs.gov). Randy Baldwin, a geophysicist with the USGS, told KOMO News of Seattle the quake was felt for a radius of 150 miles. It was the largest earthquake in the Northwest in more than a decade, according to KIRO-TV of Seattle. Buildings shook in Victoria, the Victoria Times Colonist said. The quake was felt along the southern British Columbia coast and throughout Vancouver Island, according to Canadian news sources. Earthquake Canada said
Tuesday night that there had been no reports of damage, and “none would be expected,” according to CBC News of British Columbia. That confirmed what Steele had heard. “I’ve heard no reports of damage other than things falling off shelves,” he said. In Anacortes, some neighbors reported a few pictures knocked off shelves due to the shaking, according to KOMO News.
Tsunami worries
Clallam County sheriff’s dispatcher Susan Craig said those who called 9-1-1 were primarily concerned about a tsunami. Clallam County Undersheriff Ron Cameron, also the county’s emergency manager, said no damage was reported — “not at all.” He said county officials are alerted when earthquakes of at least 5.5 magnitude hit the area. Bob Hamlin, Jefferson County emergency management coordinator, said there was “absolutely no damage at all” from the temblor. “The calls were pretty much the same,” Hamlin said. Callers spoke of a two- or ________ three-second event. Senior Staff Writer Paul Gottlieb can be “Some people said it was more reached at 360-452-2345, ext. 5060, or at of a jar than others did,” Hamlin pgottlieb@peninsuladailynews.com. said. “It was actually a good wakeExecutive Editor Leah Leach contributed to this report. up call.

SEATTLE — A baby orca that washed up dead on the west coast of Vancouver Island, B.C., appeared to have an infection, but an examination has not revealed an obvious cause of death, an official with Fisheries and Oceans Canada said Wednesday. Scientists also must wait for DNA test results to conclude whether the orca found last week belonged to the endangered population of killer whales that frequents Puget Sound

waters, said Paul Cottrell, a marine mammal coordinator with the Canadian agency. The closely watched southern resident killer whales have experienced a baby boom, with eight new calves born in the past year, raising hopes for the population that now numbers 84. It doesn’t appear that the orca is one of the Puget Sound killer whales based on a photograph of the animal’s eye patch, said Dave Ellifrit, a research associate with the Center for Whale Research on Friday Harbor.
Each orca is identified by unique black-and-white markings near their eyes or variations in their fin shapes. A surfer discovered the 340-pound female calf Dec. 23 in a remote location near Barkley Sound, south of Ucluelet, Cottrell said. A necropsy was performed two days later after the orca was taken to Abbotsford. The whale was just over 7 feet long and was “pretty beat up,” Cottrell said. It was at least a week old and could be several months old. Tests on tissue samples
could provide more answers about why the calf died, Cottrell said. “It’s obviously a big deal, and we want to know what happened,” he said. There were a lot of transient killer whales in the area, suggesting that it could be a transient orca, Cottrell said. DNA tests will determine what population to which the orca belonged. Transient killer whales typically eat marine mammals and travel in smaller groups than Puget Sound orcas, which primarily eat salmon and live in complex family groups.

Fund: Help needy on Peninsula
Briefly: State Inmate group likely moving to Yakima YAKIMA — Yakima County commissioners are expected to approve a contract that would bring up to 20 inmates from Bellingham to Yakima. The Yakima HeraldRepublic reported that the transfer is being discussed because space at the Whatcom County jail is running low for Bellingham prisoners. Yakima County Department of Corrections Director Ed Campbell said officials haven’t yet figured out the exact number of inmates from Bellingham that will be housed in Yakima, but it’s expected to be around 15 to 20. If the contract is approved, Yakima County will charge rates from $50 to
$80 per day based on several factors, including the seriousness of the inmate’s crime, medical issues and total number of inmates being held.
Marina boat fire SEATTLE — Seattle firefighters battled a boat fire in a marina on Harbor Island near the West Seattle Bridge.

You can also use the donation coupon and mail it with a check dated today. For 27 years, the Home Fund has helped thousands of families across the North Olympic Peninsula. OlyCAP, the Peninsula’s No. 1 emergency-care agency in our two counties, oversees the Home Fund for the PDN, screening the applicants and carefully distributing the funds. “A family without food, an elder living in isolation, a single mom facing eviction, a homeless veteran in search of a stable life, neighbors who cannot afford their medication, nights with no heat, a cold rain soaking every possession — this is the reality for thousands living in Clallam and Jefferson counties,” Wilson said. “For too many families, too often, it is a desperate existence,” he said. “These are conditions that challenge the understanding of those of us that have adequate food, a warm home and regular medical care. “However, it is clear, through the overwhelming support of the Home Fund, that people across the North Peninsula, and sometimes from far beyond, do understand the effects of poverty and their rejection thereof,” Wilson said. No money is deducted by the PDN for administration fees or any other overhead. Every penny goes to OlyCAP to help the most vulnerable members of our community, from infants to families to seniors. The average amount of help this year was $70 per allowance per year of $350 person — with a maximum per household. But even though the dollar figures are small, the Follow the PDN on impact can be big, in huge, life-changing ways. “Every dollar contributed to the Home Fund represents the community’s FACEBOOK TWITTER Peninsula Daily pendailynews refusal to let poverty win,” News Wilson said.

Time wasting to right the ship PRESIDENT OBAMA AND members of his administration assure us we have nothing to fear when it comes to terrorism. Whether you accept this, Cal or not — and Thomas opinion polls show a majority do not — there is another fear that in large part is behind the phenomenon known as Donald Trump. It is the fear we are in danger of losing America. Speaking as a member of a group that will in this century become a minority in America — that would be white people — I don’t fear minority status. I fear that those who will soon make up the majority will not embrace the values and traditions that have built and sustained America through wars,
economic downturns and other challenges to our way of life. Yes, yes, I know about slavery and discrimination, but the principles laid down by the Founders, which allowed America’s flaws to be addressed and corrected by their posterity, seem to be disappearing. Many Americans are angry that politicians of both parties seem to have placed their careers ahead of their responsibility to take care of the nation. As Ronald Reagan said, we are just one generation away from losing it all. That’s because democracy and equal rights are not the norm in the world. They must be fought for and maintained if we wish to pass them on to our descendants. Yes, we want immigrants to come to America, but we want them to come respecting our laws (otherwise what are laws for?), to learn English, our history and values and to become — as earlier immigrants did — fully American without hyphens.
Many who are native-born want today’s immigrants to leave behind ideologies and agendas that do not promote the general welfare. Earlier immigrants and the native-born have invested in America through taxes, blood and sacrificed lives. New immigrants will benefit from those investments and sacrifices and should respect them enough to make investments of their own to preserve what they admire and what has drawn them here. Two forces are at work, undermining our foundations. One is apathy and the other is a determined assault on the beliefs, traditions, practices and faith that once characterized America. Either one causes harm enough, but when both are in play, we become like a boxer who is pummeled unconscious by a relentless opponent. Fear can be a factor that motivates to action, or it can cause one to retreat.
Peninsula Voices

It seems the people who embrace and practice our historic beliefs and traditions are in retreat, fearful of being called names by the forces of political correctness. “Racist,” “bigot” and “intolerant” are three words that cause many to cower, in part because of their inability to disprove a negative. The most effective response to people operating this cultural and political wrecking ball is to turn the tables. Whose values and beliefs have worked in the past to improve the lot of the people, and whose have failed? Traditionalists don’t have to play defense. They have only to remind Americans of the mess the secular progressives have made. Having been handed by the “greatest generation” a nation with numerous opportunities and a bright future, the baby boomers and their progeny set about destroying it on the altar of selfindulgence.
There is barely enough time to begin repairing the damage. The 2016 election is only part of the process. “We the people” remains the most powerful force among us. If our citizens don’t pay attention to what is happening, future generations will rightly condemn us. Fear of losing what we have should motivate traditionalists to begin fighting back against an anti-American tide that is undermining truths once considered self-evident. But they must first win the argument before winning the next election.

A most unhappy Gitmo New Year’s AS THE CLOCK counts down to the new year and the world welcomes 2016, another clock will continue ticking, counting the days, hours, minutes and seconds since May 23, 2013, the day President Barack Obama promised to free all those prisoners at the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay who have been cleared for release. That clock was created by Amy independent journalist Andy Goodman Worthington, and is on the Internet at www.gtmo clock.com. Jan. 22 will mark the seventh anniversary of the day Obama signed Executive Order 13492, ordering the closure of the Guantanamo Bay prison within one year. As Obama’s time in the White House winds down, the prospects of closing the notorious gulag grow bleaker. Currently there are 107 men imprisoned there, 48 of whom have been cleared for release for almost six years. While the Republican-led Congress has long thwarted efforts to
close the island prison, Reuters recently reported that the Pentagon itself, which is supposed to be under the civilian control of Commander-in-Chief Obama, may be resisting the order to close Guantanamo. Obama’s executive order in 2009 created the Guantanamo Review Task Force, chaired by then-Attorney General Eric Holder. It included representatives from the departments of Justice, Defense, State, Homeland Security, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. All prisoners cleared for release have received unanimous consent from those authorities. While some of those prisoners have been released, it shocks the conscience to think that scores of men are suffering indefinite detention with no charges against them, many held for more than a decade. Tariq Ba Odah is one of those men who was cleared for release. “He was assigned to Guantanamo in February of 2002. “He’s nearing the 14-year mark of indefinite detention, nearly nine years of that time on hunger strike and detained in solitary confinement,” his attorney, Omar Farah of the Center for Constitutional Rights, told us

on the Democracy Now! news hour. “The president has to insist that the Department of Defense and all other agencies fall in line behind what he says is his objective and ensure that Mr. Ba Odah is released immediately.” The hunger strike Farah described has reduced Tariq Ba Odah to a shadow of his former self. “I visited Mr. Ba Odah in March and April of this year and found him in utterly disastrous physical condition,” Omar Farah said. “According to the government, not me, Mr. Ba Odah is just 74 and a half pounds, and that’s 56 percent of his safe body weight.” Ba Odah is forcibly fed twice daily through a nose tube. The force with which the U.S. military jailers insert the tube causes extreme pain and has been deemed torture by the United Nations Human Rights Commission. Tariq Ba Odah is from Yemen, but, because of the civil war there, the Obama administration will not release Yemenis directly to their home nation. Farah told us: “There is a foreign country, a third country, ready to accept him and help provide him medical care and rehabilitate him.
“This is a person who’s desperately, desperately ill. “And the last step of that negotiated release, it seems, is the simple task of forwarding his medical records.” The Pentagon refuses to release his medical records, citing privacy rules. “That’s a lie. And it’s a bad lie,” Farah told us. “I sat with Mr. Ba Odah while he provided his informed written consent to release his medical records to me as his counsel and also for the specific purpose of negotiating his release.” Reuters reporters Charles Levinson and David Rohde (the former New York Times reporter who was held captive by the Taliban in Afghanistan for seven months, until he escaped) cite Ba Odah’s case in their latest article, writing, “Pentagon officials have been throwing up bureaucratic obstacles to thwart the president’s plan to close Guantanamo.” While the Pentagon says it will release the first of 17 prisoners in January, you never know. However, what you can be sure of, like clockwork, is that peace activists from Witness Against Torture, wearing orange jumpsuits like the Guantanamo prisoners, will vigil as they do every Jan. 22 to mark the anni-

versary of Obama’s executive order to close Guantanamo. Last Thanksgiving, a delegation from Witness Against Torture went to Cuba, within view of the U.S. base, to hold a symbolic “Forced Feeding, Not Feasting at Guantanamo.” They described their action: “Twelve persons, all fasting for the day, sat at a table in front of empty plates to represent the terrible pain endured by hunger strikers, past and present, at Guantanamo. “At the head of the table, one member dressed as a detained man sat in front of the terrible apparatus of forced feeding.” They also wore orange jumpsuits, and each spoke about their reasons for coming. After each speaker, the group sang: “Courage, Muslim brother You do not walk alone We will walk with you And sing your spirit home.”

Better weather will help anglers THE YEAR 2015 has apparently used up its quota of wet weather, because it’s coming to a dry conclusion. And that is great news for Lee anglers. Horton Steelhead have been in the rivers of the North Olympic Peninsula, but the rivers haven’t been fishable. That is changing. “The rivers are going to start dropping,” Brian Menkal of Brian’s Sporting Goods and More (360-683-1950) in Sequim said. “It should be a good time to get out there and do some steelheading.” Menkal said anglers should encounter the end of the winter hatchery run this weekend, and maybe even some early wild steelhead. If you’re itching to test your fishing skills against a steelhead, then scratch that itch this weekend, because there’s no telling how long this stretch of nice weather will last. “Take advantage of this break right now,” Menkal said. “The weather’s been so floody all the time. Now’s your window to get out there. “It’s important to be Johnny-onthe-spot. You can’t count on the weather.”
Crab concluding The winter crab harvest ends today at 5 p.m. throughout Clallam County. If you’re reading this while eating your breakfast, it might not be too late. “Get them out in early in the day, and see what you can get,” Menkal said. Those in Jefferson County still have some time to pull up some crab, thanks to an extension of the sport season in Hood Canal (Marine Area 12) and part of Admiralty Inlet (Marine Area 9) due to an abundance of crab, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife announced last week. The season in those areas will remain open through Feb. 28. The portion of Admiralty Inlet that will remain open is north of the Hood Canal Bridge to the Foulweather Bluff to Olele Point line. The rest of Area 9 closes today. Whether you harvested crab this year or not, if you purchased a crab endorsement, you’re required to submit a catch report to the state by Feb. 1. “Catch data submitted by crabbers plays an important role in managing the Puget Sound crab fishery,” Rich Childers, state shellfish policy lead, said in a news release. “We need to hear from everyone who was issued a winter catch card — including from those who didn’t catch any crab.” Catch record cards can be submitted by mail or through the state’s licensing website. The mailing address is WDFW CRC Unit, 600 Capitol Way N., Olympia, WA 985011091. The online reporting system is available Friday through Feb. 1 at www.tinyurl.com/PDN-CrabCatch. Crabbers will not be required to record crab on catch cards for January and February for Hood Canal or the open section of Marine Area 9. They must, however, have a current shellfish license in their possession. The state will conduct fieldbased surveys to estimate the recreational catch in Hood Canal and Admiralty Inlet for January and February.

Close, but not quite PT falters at the end of its setback to Warriors BY LEE HORTON PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT TOWNSEND — The Port Townsend boys basketball team went back to work Wednesday morning. After practicing through Christmas and then playing two games in two days at the Crush in the Slush, both close losses, the Redhawks returned to the gym to get ready for Olympic League 1A play. “Like I told the kids, if we want to compete for the league title coming out of the backside,
we have to be willing to sacrifice and be willing to do every single thing to do that,” Port Townsend coach Tom Webster said Tuesday night. And after a 1-7 start against a slate of Class 2A teams, tough 1A teams and 1B powerhouse Neah Bay, the Redhawks finally get to start playing games that matter, and that are likely more winnable, against Chimacum (0-7), Coupeville (4-3) and Klahowya (0-11). Port Townsend followed its 53-46 loss to Neah Bay on Mon-
day with a 55-50 loss to Seattle Christian on Tuesday. The Redhawks hung around in the first three quarters. Whenever the Warriors built a lead, Port Townsend would respond in kind.
Hot then cold When Seattle Christian took a 38-29 lead, the largest of the game, with 5 minutes, 40 seconds left in the third quarter, the Redhawks reeled off nine straight points to tie the game at 38-38. It was 42-42 when the third quarter ended. Port Townsend scored eight of the first 10 points of the fourth quarter to open up a 50-44 lead, the Redhawks’ largest of the game, with 3:44
to play. On a 21-6 run from the point it trailed by nine, Port Townsend appeared to be peaking at the right time. Instead, they went cold when it mattered most, as Seattle Christian scored the final 11 points of the game. Taggart Anderson, who led all scorers with 18 points, scored two straight buckets for the Warriors. Payton Gunhus drove for a baskets to tie the score at 50-50 with 52 seconds left. Then, following a turnover by Port Townsend, Gunhus hit a 3-pointer while the Redhawks were focused on Anderson to make it 53-50 with 25 seconds remaining. TURN

PORT TOWNSEND — A game against a larger school’s JV team can go either way. For Port Townsend, a Class 1A school, it went quite well against 3A Bainbridge’s JV girls basketball team on the second day of the Crush in the Slush at Port Townsend High School. The Redhawks went on a 14-0 run in the second quarter to take the lead and pull away from Bainbridge on their way to a 54-33 victory Tuesday. Sophomore Kaitlyn Meek was heavily involved in that decisive second-quarter stretch, but Port Townsend also found out it might have more scoring options than expected. The Redhawks had three
double-digit scorers, and Jenna Carson, their top low-post scorer, wasn’t even one of them.
Triple double Meek led the way with 22 points, and sophomore Jordyn King and freshman Jaz ApkerMontoya each finished with 10. Carson, sidelined most of the first half with foul trouble, was held to four points but still impressed coach Scott B. Wilson. “First time we’ve had three girls in double figures,” Wilson said. “And we really need that because clearly defenses are going to focus in on Kaitlyn as time goes on, so other people need to step up and score.

VASHON — Jack Dahlgren remained undefeated and was one of three individual champions for Forks at The Rock wrestling tournament. The Spartans placed second as a team, despite not being represented in five weight classes at Tuesday’s championship. Lakeside won the team title. “Hopefully, this tournament gets the kids to understand the
potential in this group,” Forks coach Bob Wheeler said. “As a group, I think this was their poorest showing of the year, yet they still placed second in a perennially tough tournament. “I am hoping that this will help them understand their potential and give them incentive to really start working towards that potential.” Dahlgren took first in the
182-pound class, and Josue Lucas and Alvaro Ortiz did likewise in the 106- and 120-pound divisions, respectively. Joseph Mariner (152 pounds), Joel Mohn (160), Reece Moody (170) and Luke Dahlgren (190), each placed third in their weight classes for the Spartans.

Spartans rolled to a 10-point victory against Taholah behind big games from its two leading scorers at the Holidays with the Hyaks tournament. Parker Browning hit for 28 points for the Spartans to lead all scorers Tuesday. “I believe that’s a careerhigh,” Forks coach Rick Gooding said. “He did a good job all game of attacking the hoop and not settling for long-distance shots.” Marky Adams had 21 points in limited minutes.

CONTINUED FROM B1 “He twisted his ankle in the Neah Bay game, and aggravated in a practice, so we are being careful with him,” Gooding said. “But no one could guard him. They didn’t have anybody that could match up with him sizewise. “I know he had a double-double, and I bet he had at least 15 rebounds.” Gooding liked how his team handled the Chitwins. “This was a good nonleague game for us,” Gooding said. “They are a scrappy team and we handled their pressure well. “We played a lot more under control than we have at times earlier this season, and it looked like some things are starting to work for us.”

Girls Basketball Anacortes 54, Port Angeles 26 ANACORTES — The Roughriders’ unbeaten start to the season came to a humbling halt against the Seahawks. “Anacortes is the best team we have played thus far,” Port Angeles coach Michael Poindexter said following Tuesday’s loss. “They are 6-3, with two losses coming to undefeated teams [Burlington-Edison and Lynden Chris-
tian], and their win over Lynden is Lynden’s one loss.” The Riders were held to five points in the first quarter and 10 in the first half. “Our team was looking forward to the challenge, but early on, we didn’t attack their zone with good movement of players and the ball,” Poindexter said. “We missed some inside shots early, and that perhaps led to some later lack of confidence.” Nizhoni Wheeler led Port Angeles with 11 points, but no other Rider had more than three. Wheeler also had five rebounds. Gabby Ronngren topped Anacortes with 11 points. Port Angeles (2-0, 8-1) gets back to Olympic League 2A play Tuesday with a home game against North Kitsap (2-1, 4-4).
“The next few weeks will reveal the extent to which we can learn from this game, the lessons being essential to our having success in the postseason,” Poindexter said.
Clallam Bay 38, Quilcene 31 QUILCENE — The Rangers fell to the Bruins for the second time this season. Clallam Bay improves to 8-1 with Tuesday’s victory. “The Bruins are a tough and scrappy team,” Quilcene coach Briana Weller said. “They are quick and run the floor well. They never let down and are constantly fighting for the ball. Kudos to those girls and their coaches.” The Rangers struggled to keep
control of the ball, committing 30 turnovers in the game. “We have had three consecutive games where we have way, way too many turnovers,” Weller said. “The girls need to take care of the ball. They are playing tough defense and working hard to get steals, but then self-implode.” Senior Megan Weller scored 23 points for the Rangers and grabbed five rebounds. “She is the motor for this team and just keeps driving and going hard,” Briana Weller said. “She is like the Energizer Bunny who just keeps going and going . . .” Quilcene (0-1, 3-5) hosts Evergreen Lutheran (3-0) at home next Tuesday.

Meek said the young Redhawks, who have won three of their last four games, are starting to get comfortable playing with each other. “We’re kind of just working as a team, really like knowing what

Redhawks: Hoping to learn from close losses CONTINUED FROM B1 “You don’t really want to give up a 3-ball,” Webster said. “Not that that guy was necessarily their best shooter, so we hedged out on their best shooter, and then left that guy standing there, and, you know, I don’t know if that was a blind squirrel finding the acorn or he’s a good shooter.” Port Townsend had plenty of time, but Berkley Hill slipped while dribbling against the Warriors’ full-court press, and Evan Troy hit two free throws to provide a five-point cushion.
The Redhawks had a few looks at 3-pointers in the final 17 seconds, but the shots didn’t drop. Detrius Kelsall and Dillon Ralls led Port Townsend with 11 points each, and Seren Dances scored nine. The Redhawks also got seven points from David Sua, four from Kaiden Parcher and three from Patrick Charlton. “One of our focus points was getting the ball inside,” Webster said. “And we did. Kaiden got some inside points, Patrick got some inside points, and David got some inside points.
“So we didn’t just live and die by the 3-ball.” Port Townsend, already 1-0 in Olympic League 1A, next faces league foe Coupeville (1-0, 4-3) next Wednesday. The Redhawks enter league with two losses that Webster hopes will be beneficial down the road. “With this team, if we can be in position to win, that’s the first step, and then [comes] actually winning and being able to convert these games,” Webster said. “And I always say, sometimes you got to be in these games early
in the season to convert them on the back end. Seattle Christian is the Crush in the Slush boys tournament winner by going 2-0 and allowing fewer points, 87, than the only other 2-0 boys team, Neah Bay, which gave up 95 to Port Townsend and Nooksack Valley. Seattle Christian and Neah Bay combined to score 108 points on Port Townsend at the two-day tournament. Not too shabby. “I think we improved defensively both games,” Webster said. “I mean, we played two quality
opponents and they didn’t rip off a ton of points. “They were two winnable ball games. So that’s encouraging.” Seattle Christian 55, Port Townsend 50 Seattle Christian 20 9 13 13— 55 Port Townsend 14 12 16 8— 50 Individual scoring Seattle Christian (55) Gunhus 9, Toy 10, Anderson 18, Gifford 2, Saggau 7, Loorem 5, VanderLey 4, Hohimer, Berquist, McKenna-Kier.

Lynch still hasn’t rejoined Hawks following surgery BY TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RENTON — Marshawn Lynch’s return for the Seattle Seahawks won’t come until the NFC wild card playoffs at the earliest. Coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Lynch had not rejoined the team and remains “day-to-day” in his recovery from abdominal surgery in late November. Carroll had indicated earlier that there was a chance that Lynch could rejoin the team this week and possibly play in the regular-season finale against Arizona, but he will instead be sidelined for the seventh straight week . The hope now for Seattle is that Lynch will be available next week for the opening round of the playoffs when Seattle will play at Washington, Minnesota or Green Bay, depending on what happens on the final day. Carroll said Lynch is still experiencing discomfort in his rehabilitation. “I would think he can make it back. That’s what we hear,” Carroll said. “It’s really up to that day-to-day kind of progression that he’s making. “There are a lot of days between next week, so we’ll see.” Lynch has not played since Week 10 against Arizona and underwent abdominal surgery on Nov. 25. He has spent most of his recovery in the Bay Area working out with his personal trainers. The need for Lynch’s

Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has been out since Week 10 and is expected to miss Sunday’s regular-season finale against Arizona. return has grown in the past few weeks after rookie Thomas Rawls was lost for the season with a broken ankle suffered in Week 14 against Baltimore. While Seattle got past Cleveland with a makeshift running game, the lack of a legitimate back became an obvious weakness in Sunday’s 23-17 loss to St. Louis that snapped the Seahawks’ five-game winning streak. Backup running back Fred Jackson said he spoke with Lynch on Tuesday, but got no indication if Lynch would be back next week. “I just asked him how he’s feeling, and that’s the
number one thing. When I talk to him I want to know what he is feeling like as opposed to when he’s going to be back here,” Jackson said. “He told me he’s feeling good, he’s getting better. We’ll see what happens.” Carroll also said the team may be without defensive end Michael Bennett this week. Bothered by a toe problem, Bennett was having a medical procedure and the decision may be to keep him out of the finale. “It could be one that we need to hold him out. We don’t know that yet,” Carroll said.
Prescott, Mississippi State rout NC State in Belk Bowl THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mississippi State’s Dak Prescott (15) scrambles as North Carolina State defensive tackle Justin Jones (93) pursues.
College Football capitalized by finding Wilson for a 28-yard scoring strike. Mississippi State made it 21-0 when Ross scored on a 33-yard reverse. Brissett hooked up with former defensive end Pharoah McKever on an 82-yard scoring strike on a blown coverage to get NC State on the board, and Jaylen Samuels raced 46 yards for a touchdown to trim the lead to seven. But the Bulldogs would begin to pull when left guard Justin Malone picked up a loose ball in the end zone after Prescott fumbled on a quarterback draw. The Bulldogs added a field goal to take a 31-14 lead at halftime.
Auburn 31, Memphis 10 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Jeremy Johnson and Auburn found a measure of redemption and, finally, something to celebrate in their season finale. The Tigers’ former starting quarterback came off the bench to run and pass for touchdowns, and the similarly maligned defense contained Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch throughout in Auburn’s 31-10 victory Wednesday in the Birmingham Bowl. Johnson capped a disappointing season by sparking
a sputtering offense that scored three touchdowns in a five-minute span starting late in the third quarter. Auburn (7-6) avoided the first losing season of Gus Malzahn’s 11-year college coaching career. “We knew we had to start scoring touchdowns because we knew what kind of offense they were, even though the [Auburn] defense was playing great,” Johnson said. “In our mind, we were just thinking about getting in the end zone.” He helped get them there a few times. An Auburn defense without a coordinator didn’t allow an offensive touchdown for Memphis (9-4) and its star quarterback. Malzahn announced the hiring of LSU defensive coordinator Kevin Steele after the game. “Offensively, we never established any consistency or got anything going,” interim Memphis coach Darrell Dickey said. “Their defense, to be quite honest, defended us better than anybody’s defended us in the last two years.” Johnson gave Auburn a 17-10 lead with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Jason Smith. He ran 17 yards on his second play from scrimmage and opened the fourth quarter with a 5-yard touchdown run on his third. Lynch could never get untracked in what might be the final college game for the projected top-five NFL draft pick.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Dak Prescott closed out his college career in impressive fashion, throwing for a Belk Bowl-record 380 yards and four touchdowns in Mississippi State’s 51-28 victory over North Carolina State on Wednesday. Selected the game MVP, Prescott completed 25 of 42 passes and ran for 47 yards to become the fourth player in FBS history to throw for 9,000 yards and run for 2,500 yards. Prescott threw two touchdown passes to Brandon Holloway in the second half to break it open for the Bulldogs (9-4). Wide receiver Fred Ross had seven catches for 74 yards and a touchdown and scored on a 33-yard reverse. De’Runnya Wilson added five catches for 96 yards and a touchdown to help the Bulldogs break the Belk Bowl scoring record. North Carolina State’s Jacoby Brissett threw for one score and ran for another, but had two early interceptions that led to Mississippi State’s first 14 points. Prescott lobbed his third TD pass of the game to Holloway over a blitzing defense to put the Bulldogs up 37-21 late in the third quarter. The senior quarterback hit Holloway in stride on a go route along the right sideline for a 55-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Holloway finished with 78 yards on four catches. Mississippi State’s defense set the tone early. On the first play from scrimmage, defensive end Jonathan Calvin hit Brissett as he released the ball and linebacker Gerri Green came up with the diving interception on the slick field at the Wolfpack 26. Five plays later, Ross hauled in a pass from Prescott in the left flat, turned up the left sideline and raced 14 yards for a score. Brissett, who had only thrown four interceptions coming into the game, was picked off again later in the first quarter and Prescott

PORT ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bobby Jerrel â&#x20AC;&#x153;B.J.â&#x20AC;? Smith IIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2013 second-degree murder conviction has been upheld by the state Court of Appeals. Smith was found guilty in the shooting death of Robert Fowler at Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Port Angeles residence in June 2011. Smith claimed he shot his next-door neighbor in self-defense because Fowler, 63, had threatened him and his daughter with a knife. The 62-year-old is serving a 10-year, 10-month sentence at the Stafford Creek Corrections Center near Aberdeen.
Appeals court In a Dec. 8 opinion, the appeals court held that redacted portions of Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police interview were harmless to the defense, that the trial court properly admitted a detectiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statements of opinion and that retired Clallam County Superior Court Judge George L. Wood exercised proper discretion at sentencing. Those three elements
served as the basis for the appeal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We affirm the conviction and sentence,â&#x20AC;? state Court of Appeals Division II Chief Judge Jill Johanson wrote in a 14-page opinion. Fowler was shot multiple times with a .45-caliber pistol in Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living room June 20, 2011. Smith fired a final shot to Fowlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head as his neighbor lay incapacitated on the floor, Port Angeles police said. At his October 2013 trial, Smith testified that an angry Fowler had barged into his living room and demanded money. Fowler then grabbed a large hunting knife from a coffee table and threatened to cut Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throat, according to Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s testimony. Smith said that during the confrontation, Fowler headed upstairs to Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bedroom. He said Fowler posed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;deadly threatâ&#x20AC;? to him and his teenage daughter. Smith, a former Navy submariner, told police that he intended to continue shooting Fowler until the former Marine stopped moving, court papers said. Smith testified that he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;horribly sorry that the person who was attacking
me died. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did not want to kill him, but I had to defend myself and my daughter,â&#x20AC;? Smith said at trial. Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter had testified that she heard Fowler say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry, please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? before Smith fired the final shots. Smith was originally charged with first-degree murder, but the jury found him guilty of the lesser offense. Second-degree murder occurs without premeditation. In handing down the sentence in January 2014, Wood observed that there was no need for Smith to shoot Fowler in the head after he was incapacitated. Smith will get credit for the time he served in the Clallam County jail prior to his sentencing. He must serve three years of community custody upon his release.
Firearms collection After the sentencing, the Clallam County Prosecuting Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office filed a motion to forfeit Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection of 42 firearms to Port Angeles police. The felony conviction prevents Smith from owning or possessing firearms.
The $30,000 collection includes rare-edition tributes to the D-Day invasion, Pearl Harbor, Texas Rangers and U.S. Navy. Defense attorney Karen Unger argued that only one weapon was used in the crime and that Smith had no prior convictions. Smith wrote in a March 25, 2014, letter from prison that police had been â&#x20AC;&#x153;anxiously drooling over my priceless, irreplaceable, museum quality, American firearm collection Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent over 40 years accumulating.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many have never been fired and only touched with white cotton gloves,â&#x20AC;? Smith wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of them, only 10 were ever made.â&#x20AC;? Judge Wood in December 2014 signed an order forfeiting six firearms â&#x20AC;&#x201D; three semiautomatic rifles, a shotgun and two semiautomatic pistols, including the murder weapon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to the city of Port Angeles to be disposed of. The other 36 firearms were to be sold to a licensed dealer, with the proceeds going to unpaid attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fees and the remainder going to Smith. The order was stayed pending the conclusion of the appeal.

Milan prosecutors Wednesday confirmed a report in daily La Repubblica that Apple agreed to pay the sum for the years spanning 2008 to 2013. The prosecutors said Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax liabilities for the five successive years will hinge on an international ruling on such cases. They declined to give details. They also declined to discuss how payment of back taxes might affect a criminal probe, conducted by the prosecutors, into suspected tax evasion by three Apple employees. La Repubblica said two of the employees are executives based in Italy while the third is based in Ireland. Apple offices in Milan, London and Ireland were closed Wednesday. Messages seeking comment werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately answered. Apple CEO Tim Cook has repeatedly rejected the notion that his company is trying to dodge taxes.

higher taxes in other countries, like Italy. The practice, called profit-shifting, has come under attack from the European Union, which wants multinationals to pay tax where they earn their revenue, and not where they have their regional base. The EUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 28 states agreed in October to share details of tax deals they reach with big companies to make sure they are fair to other countries. The EU has already ordered Starbucks and Fiat to pay millions in back taxes to Luxembourg and the Netherlands, respectively.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s in with the new and out with the old, and that means making the changes that will bring you greater happiness and stability. Personal, emotional and physical changes will turn out well as long as you stick to a budget. 3 stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be in overdrive, so be careful not to burn out. Pace yourself or you will miss the turn-of-theyear festivities. Problems with authority figures and delays while traveling can be expected. 2 stars
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Celebrating with the people who share your interests will help you begin 2016 on a favorable note. Express your opinions and let the people you love know exactly how you feel. Abide by rules and regulations. 5 stars
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll be emotional due to uncertainty in your personal life. Realizing that change is necessary is half the battle. A discussion with someone who has been causing you grief will give you a better understanding of the situation. 3 stars
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Look forward, not back. Bring in the year with people who are as progressive and proactive as you. Share your thoughts and resolutions and you will end up in good company when it comes to future pursuits. 5 stars
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Keep your celebration simple. It may be the end of the year, but indulgence will lead to disputes and unwanted changes. Bide your time, be diplomatic and plan your strategy for 2016. Work on personal change, not on changing. 3 stars
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let what others do get to you. Diplomacy will be required if you are surrounded by people who are being careless and indulgent. Opt to spend a quiet evening with your immediate family or closest friends. 3 stars
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Getting together with people you love or don’t see frequently will do you good. Heading to a special place you don’t visit often will set the stage for a romantic evening. Love is in the stars. 4 stars
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Let go of the past and embrace the future by resolving unfinished emotional matters with the people you want to keep in your life. Don’t let regret drag you down. Open up, find common ground and start anew. 3 stars
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Host a party or plan a quiet, romantic evening for you and your partner. Talk about future plans and explore the possibility of doing something you’ve always wanted to do. Invest in a joint venture with someone special. 4 stars

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Start getting ready to bring in the new year mentally, physically and emotionally. Exercise discipline and you can make your dreams come true. Positive change is heading your way. Focus on what you want and don’t look back. 3 stars
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t start the year off on the wrong foot. Overindulgence or letting emotional matters spin out of control will leave a sour taste in your mouth. Make personal changes that can boost your confidence, and avoid anyone who is a poor influence. 2 stars

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2015 B9
NOTIFICATION OF INTENT TO OBTAIN CUSTODY. WA Dept of Natural Resources (DNR) has declared the vessel Nutmeg and registration # WN 6511 JR an emergency because it meets the criteria described under RCW 79.100.040(3). DNR took temporary possession of the vessel and had it removed from near the Hick’s Park Rd, Jefferson County in order to prevent it from sinking, breaking up or posing a threat to human health and safety or the environment. DNR intends to take formal and full custody of the vessel on 01/15/2016 (Custody Date). After taking custody, DNR may use or dispose of it without further notice. The owner is responsible for all related costs. To retain custody of the vessel, before the Custody Date, the owner must: 1) Pay DNR back for costs incurred to date, 2) Move the vessel to an anchorage area, moorage facility, or storage location that has authorized the vessel. To redeem the vessel once DNR has taken custody, or challenge DNR’s decision to take custody or temporary possession, the owner must file a written request (one original and one copy) for a hearing with the Pollution Control Hearings Board, in person at 1111 Israel Rd, Tumwater WA, or by mail to PO Box 40903, Olympia WA 98504-0903, and serve one copy on DNR’s Aquatic Resources Division at 1111 Washington Street SE, MS 47027, Olympia WA 98504-7027. The appeal must include the following information: a copy of the decision you are appealing; your name and address (mailing and legal, if different) and, if applicable, the name and address of your representative; a daytime phone number; a brief statement why you are appealing; a statement of what you want the Board to do; the signature of you or your representative. [This signature certifies that the content of the appeal is true.] The written request can be submitted immediately but cannot be filed any later than 02/17/2016 (Appeal Date). The right to a hearing is deemed waived if a request is submitted late, and the owner is liable for any costs owed to DNR. These costs may include all administrative costs incurred by DNR, removal and disposal costs, and costs associated with environmental damages directly or indirectly caused by the vessel. In the event of litigation, the prevailing party is entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. DNR reserves the right to pursue any other remedies available under law. For more information, contact the Derelict Vessel Removal Program at (360) 902-1574 or DVRP@dnr.wa.gov. Pub: December 31, 2015 Legal No.674988

SEATTLE — Washington is one of 12 states where too few students are taking required statewide exams, meaning it could face sanctions next year if schools do not increase testing, federal education officials said. The U.S. Department of
Education sent warning letters to Washington and 11 other states where test participation was below the required 95 percent, The Seattle Times reported Tuesday. The participation rate was about 91 percent in Washington state after many high school juniors
refused to take the exams. The letter said Washington could face sanctions, including the possible loss of federal dollars, if schools don’t improve that rate. In a response sent Dec. 2, Washington state’s education office wrote that schools and districts with lowerthan-required participation
will have to come up with a plan to do better next spring. Other states that received federal warning letters were California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Maine, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island and Wisconsin, according to Education Week magazine.
