Expanding access

Certified swimmers add scope to department BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

Wetlands grant to help Elwha mouth purchase Access to river’s east side possible by summer 2018 BY ARWYN RICE PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — Public access to the new beaches on the east side of the Elwha River mouth is expected to be available by the summer of 2018. Coastal Watershed Institute

has been awarded a $1 million National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant to help purchase a property, restore wetlands and establish public access in the area. “We are very excited to get to work,” said Jamie Michel, project manager and nearshore biologist for the Institute. The only present public access to the 80 to 100 acres of beaches at the mouth of the Elwha River is on the west bank of the river, which is across public property and where parking and public services are very limited.

“The only Sani-Can, which services up to hundreds of people a day, is sponsored by the Olympic Peninsula Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation,” said Anne Shaffer, executive director and lead scientist for the Institute. The east side of the river delta, where the more extensive beaches have grown, is almost entirely within Lower Elwha Klallam tribal land. The tribe does not currently allow public access to the beaches through its land. TURN TO GRANT/A7

PORT TOWNSEND — Two firefighter/emergency medical technicians are the first firefighters in the area to pass the U.S. Coast Guard Surface Rescue Swimmer program, according to East Jefferson Fire-Rescue. Caton White and JB Fairbanks will be honored in a short ceremony at noon Tuesday on the pier near the Guardian, the fire department’s rescue boat, in the Boat Haven. The two passed written and practical exams to obtain certification. “It was the most physically demanding thing I’ve done since fire academy,” White said. Coast Guard personnel led the three-week program, consisting of 90 hours in the water, including in-pool and in-ocean training, a 1,000-meter swim and a 200-meter victim-towing test in a swimming pool at Navy Base Bangor.

Chilly checkoff Their final checkoff swim was conducted Jan. 22 in the chilly water off Point Wilson. Both firefighters successfully completed several rescue deployments to men in the water, towing them back to the boat, followed by a swim to shore near the Point Wilson lighthouse.

The final swim ended up being extra challenging because of a current that pushed the swimmers off course, requiring them to swim an extra Fairbanks 500 yards before making it to shore, the department said. The addition of two rescue swimmers enhances the scope and capabilities of the department’s marine White program, said Deputy Chief Ted Krysinski of East Jefferson Fire-Rescue. “Sometimes, we have to put someone in the water to get someone out of the water,” he said. “By having certified rescue swimmers on staff, we can now do that more safely.” A robust marine rescue capability positions the fire department to fill a weak area in the Coast Guard’s response areas, said Boatswain’s Mate 2 Jacob Bradley.

Schools, fire district seek bond approvals Buildings, new station on ballots BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT TOWNSEND — Multimillion-dollar school bond proposals for the Port Townsend and Chimacum school districts request no more than what is needed to accomplish their goals, according to advocates of both measures. On Tuesday, votes will be counted for two Jefferson County school district measures: Port Townsend’s $40.9 million bond measure and Chimacum’s $29.1 million bond request, both earmarked for elementary school construction and safety improvements.

None is countywide. About 200 voters in Jefferson County are considering a $54 million bond for the Sequim School District. The money would go to a new elementary school, renovation of Sequim High School and other district improvements. And voters in the Discovery Bay Fire District are considering a $530,000 bond to replace a fire station. Ballots were mailed to voters Jan. 20. Bonds require 60 percent supermajority. Chimacum’s Ted Friederich and Port Townsend’s Jeff Randall, each heading committees support-

ing their respective bond’s passage, disagree with those who say the same goals could be accomplished with a smaller amount. “Building an elementary school costs between $30 million and $40 million,” Friederich said. “Someone told me they could build a school for $13 million. If they can do that, more power to them.” An email from Vick Finn, which includes a link to a YouTube presentation on the Chimacum bond measure, said: “CSD wants $20 million to move the elementary school to the primary school with an addition that they say is CHARLIE BERMANT/PENINSULA DAILY NEWS cheaper because [of] the way the primary school was designed. Grant Street special education director Pat Range’s TURN TO VOTE/A9 classroom has no heat and a leaky ceiling, she said.

MAURICE WHITE, 74, the Earth, Wind & Fire founder whose horn-driven band sold more than 90 million albums and made hits like “September,” “Shining Star” and “Boogie Wonderland,” died Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles, his brother Verdine said. Mr. White, who was 74, suffered from Parkinson’s disease and had retreated from the Mr. White public even in 1995 as the band he founded kept performing. “My brother, hero and best friend Maurice White passed away peacefully last night in his sleep,” Verdine White, also a member of the band, told The Associated Press on Thursday. Earth, Wind & Fire, a nine-piece band featuring the two White brothers, singer Philip Bailey and the distinctive horn section, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. The band’s most successful period started with the 1975 album “That’s the Way of the World” and continued through the rest of the decade. Other hits included “Serpentine Fire,” “That’s the Way of the World” and a cover of the Beatles’ “Got to Get You Into My Life.”

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS PENINSULA POLL

Mr. White publicly revealed he had Parkinson’s at the time of the band’s Hall of Fame induction, but he had shown symptoms of the neurological disease back in the 1980s. He stopped touring with the band in 1995 because of weariness from the road combined with his health problems. The band performed in the movie, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and had hits with the ballad “After the Love Has Gone,” “All ’n’ All,” “Let’s Groove” and “Fall in Love With Me.” The band took a fouryear hiatus in the 1980s and then returned, its primary success then on the road. Mr. White’s memoir, Keep Your Head to the Sky: My Life with Earth, Wind & Fire, is scheduled to be released Sept. 13. The book features a forward by Steve Harvey and an afterword by David Foster. Earth, Wind & Fire are to be honored at the Grammy Awards on Feb. 15.

Rescuers searching for quake survivors Taiwanese officials believe at least 14 dead, more missing BY GLADYS TSAI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TAINAN, Taiwan — Rescuers were searching late Saturday for more than 100 people still missing after a powerful, shallow earthquake struck southern Taiwan before dawn, causing a highrise residential building to collapse and killing at least 14 people and injuring hundreds.

N.Y. officials investigating construction crane collapse BY COLLEEN LONG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Officials were working Saturday to determine why a huge construction crane that was being lowered during strong winds came crashing down onto a street, killing a pedestrian and crushing a row of parked cars. Three other people were hurt by debris, two of them seriously. But city officials said Friday’s incident could have been much worse. “The fact is this is a very, very sad incident,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said. “We’ve lost a life, but if you go out there on the street as I

did and see what happened here, thank God it was not worse.” The mayor said a construction crew was directing people away from the area as the crane was being lowered Friday. “So that crew — those construction workers, who, in the normal course of their work, as they were lowering the crane, were in fact keeping people away from the site and keeping traffic from proceeding down West Broadway,” de Blasio said. The mobile crane’s boom landed across an intersection, smashed several car roofs and stretched much of a block after the accident at a historic building

in lower Manhattan about 10 blocks north of the World Trade Center. Robert Harold heard a crashing sound as the rig fell right outside his office window at the Legal Aid Society. “You could feel the vibration in the building,” said Harold, who recounted seeing onlookers trying to rescue someone trapped in a parked car and seeing a person lying motionless on the street. After the collapse, the crane’s big cab lay upside-down in the snow with its tank-like tracks pointed at the sky. Wall Street worker David Wichs was killed in the collapse.

AUTHORITIES ON SATURDAY called off the search for survivors of a midair collision that sent at least one plane plunging into the ocean near the Port of Los Angeles. The active search for three missing people was suspended at 9:15 a.m., according to a U.S. Coast Guard statement. Two men, ages 61 and 81, were aboard a plane that collided with another aircraft flown by a 72-year-old woman around 3:30 p.m. Friday, officials said. The first plane was a Beech 35 Bonanza and the second was a Citabria, said FAA spokesman Allen Kenitzer.

AUTHORITIES SAID A Philadelphia taxi driver was shot in the arm during a Saturday robbery attempt in his cab. Police said two men and one woman flagged down the Get A Cab taxi just before 3:30 a.m. Saturday in front of a gas station and asked to be taken to a south Philadelphia address. Police said the men pointed guns at the 38-year-old driver and demanded money. Both fired one shot, hitting the driver once in the right arm. Police said the cabbie continued driving until he crashed into several parked cars. He then got out of the vehicle and flagged down a police officer.

AUTHORITIES HAVE ARRESTED a 21-year-old Michigan man whom they accuse of supporting Islamic State militants and plotting to attack a Detroit church. Khalil Abu-Rayyan of Dearborn Heights appeared in U.S. District Court in Detroit and is jailed pending a Monday hearing.

High winds cause outages near PA BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — Electrical power was restored by about 4:30 p.m. Friday to areas put in the dark by high winds, the Clallam County Public Utility District said. Customers north of Port Angeles off Benson Road, customers east of Port Angeles off O’Brien Road and some customers in the Joyce Piedmont and East Beach areas were without power beginning at about 3 p.m., the PUD said. About 760 customers lost power, the PUD said. A separate power outage at 8:07 p.m. Friday affected 57 PUD customers near Black Diamond Road and Westridge Road, south of Port Angeles. That outage was caused by a tree coming into contact with power lines, PUD officials said.

State Senate votes to oust transit official BY RACHEL LA CORTE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OLYMPIA — The state Senate has rejected the gubernatorial appointment of Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson, ousting her from the job she has held since shortly after Gov. Jay Inslee took office in 2012. The rare move was taken by the Senate on Friday as majority Republicans and a Democrat who caucuses with them voted 25-21 to not confirm her appointment. Some Democrats argued the act was a political ploy. “I don’t know what they’re trying to accomplish,” Sen. Steve Hobbs, D-Lake Stevens, said after the vote. “This is like a political execution that’s made public here on the Senate floor, because, simply, it’s 2016 and it’s an election year.” But Republicans cited problems with the state’s toll lanes, ferries and the Seattle tunnel, saying they had not be deal with adequately. Sen. Andy Hill, R-Redmond, specifically cited problems with billing with the state’s tolling passes as an example of a lack of accountability at the agency. “This is a very, very serious decision,” he said. “But I have no confidence that the agency is in a position to fix the problems they have without a change at the top.” Department of Transportation spokesman Lars Erickson said Peterson would not comment Friday about the decision. Peterson, who came to Washington after working as a transportation adviser to Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber, has had a tenure filled with controversy over problems surrounding transportation projects like delays on the new 520 bridge and the ongoing troubles with the Seattle tunnel project to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct. Inslee issued a written

statement Friday night calling the vote “a politically-motiv a t e d attack.” “Senate Republicans Peterson today took an action wholly unfitting of the expectations of the people of this state,” he said. Democrats defended the transportation secretary on the floor, and made several motions to attempt to delay the vote, but failed. Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, cited Peterson’s quick response following both the Oso landslide and the collapse of the Skagit River Bridge. “She made sure that that bridge was rebuilt under budget and faster than any of us ever could have predicted,” he said. “It is shameful that this body would consider not confirming such an incredible and tireless champion for mobility and public safety in Washington state.” Democrats repeatedly noted that several of the senators who voted to remove Peterson included those who voted unanimously in committee last summer to confirm her: Republican Sens. Curtis King, Joe Fain, Doug Ericksen, Steve Litzow, Mark Miloscia, Ann Rivers, and Democratic Sen. Tim Sheldon, who caucuses with Republicans. Rivers explained her vote in committee last year as one of wanting to give Peterson “the benefit of the doubt.” “As it turned out, she was unable to rise to that occasion,” she said after the floor vote. The last rejection of a gubernatorial appointee was in 1998, when former U.S. Rep. Jolene Unsoeld was removed from the state Fish and Wildlife Commission by a 26-22 vote in the Senate.

PORT TOWNSEND — A malfunctioning underground electrical line led to a power outage and evacuation of the Northwind Arts Center, 701 Water St., and the adjacent Boiler Room, according to the Jefferson County Public Utility District. The culprit in the Friday evening evacuation was a three-phase electric power transformer buried beneath Quincy Street, Barney Burke, PUD commissioner, said Saturday. “The cable faulted,” he said. “There was a big short.” Three-phase electric power “ is a commercial level of power,”

Burke said. “They were able to restore single-phase power to the arts center,” just enough to get the lights back on but not run air conditioning systems, he said.

Search to replace Port of PA commissioner begins Tuesday BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — The two sitting Port of Port Angeles commissioners have laid out the process for appointing a commissioner to replace Jim Hallett, who has resigned from his seat . Hallett’s resignation was effective Monday. The 60-year-old Port Angeles resident had represented District 2, the central part of the county. During a special meeting Friday afternoon, Commissioners Connie Beauvais and Colleen McAleer directed staff to begin the process of accepting applications from registered voters in District 2 interested in succeeding Hallett. Beginning Tuesday, the port will begin a two-week advertising campaign seeking candidates. Applications, which will be available online beginning

next week at www.portofpa. com, are due to the port by 9 a.m. Feb. 22. Candidates are expected to be in the position for the long haul, completing the two years left on Hallett’s current term and giving a verbal commitment to run for office during the next election cycle in 2017, the two commissioners said.

Within 90 days By state law, the port commission must appoint a successor to Hallett within 90 days of the date his resignation became effective. While the commissioners are not required to fill the vacant seat until the end of April, McAleer said she hopes to expedite the process. At 9 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 18, a meeting will be held to gather public input. “It is my strong intent . . . that we go through this

process where we ask some different stakeholders to have someone come and join us at a meeting to discuss what the qualifications skill sets should be of a commissioner,” McAleer said. She made it clear that the sitting commissioners “have 100 percent full authority” to make the appointment. “We are managing this process,” she said. “We are the ones that will decide.” Beauvais agreed. “These are all public meetings, so we will take public comment,” she said. “We can have interaction . . . but by law, we have to make a decision.” McAleer also invited Hallett to sit in during the Feb. 18 meeting to offer his insight. “I want to offer that to him if he is interested in joining us and being a part of that discussion,” she said. Hallett cited the ethics of

fellow commissioners as his reason for resigning. At 9 a.m. Friday, Feb. 26, a special meeting will be held to choose finalists from the list of applicants. The short list will be discussed in executive session, with a public vote held afterward.

Names announced At that time, the finalists’ names will be publicly announced. The list of applicants not chosen will not be made public, port commissioners say. Beginning March 4, candidate interviews will be initiated, with a potential public decision as to who will be appointed on that day. If no decision is made, then a public decision and announcement is expected no later than a special meeting tentatively scheduled for March 11.

family learned of a prisoner’s imminent release. The family did its own calculations and found he was being credited with too much time. However, even though the agency consulted with attorneys regarding the error the same month and scheduled a fix for the program, it was repeatedly delayed and ultimately, never done. Pacholke has said he didn’t learn of the error until the middle of December, and the governor says he didn’t learn of the issue until that same time, when corrections’ officials notified his staff. One inmate, Jeremiah Smith, mistakenly released from prison three months early in May has been charged with killing a teenager when he should have been locked up. Two other men have been charged with crimes that occurred when they should have been behind bars. Robert Jackson was charged with vehicular homicide in the death of his girlfriend in a car crash, while Daniel Morris was

charged with attempting to elude authorities. A software fix to the coding error, publicly disclosed by Inslee on Dec. 22, was implemented last month. “What current leadership discovered last December was a system failure. A tragic system failure. Understanding the system failure that occurred will take an earnest self-examination,” wrote Pacholke.

SEATTLE — State Corrections Secretary Dan Pacholke resigned Saturday amid a controversy over the early release of prisoners, telling a Republican senator he hoped his departure would satisfy the “need for blood.” The Department of Corrections and governor’s office disclosed in December that a software coding error led to the early release of up to 3,200 prisoners since 2002 because of miscalculated sentences. At least two deaths have been tied to the early releases. “I notify you now of my resignation. I hope it helps meet your need for blood,” Pacholke wrote Saturday in an email to Sen. Mike Padden, a Republican from Spokane Valley who is chairman of the Senate Law and Justice Committee. “I hope it gives you fodder for the press and fulfills your political needs so you can let this agency, our agency, heal.” Pacholke’s departure comes amid two ongoing investigations into what led to the software error and early releases. Last month, the Senate Law and Justice Committee issued legislative subpoenas seeking emails, reports or data compilations by the Department of Corrections and the governor’s office related to the early releases. The committee also hired its own investigator. The separate probe will run concurrent to one already being conducted by two investigators hired by Inslee. “Pacholke submitted his resignation this morning, saying he hoped that his move would end the political blood thirst of Senate Republicans,” Gov. Jay Inslee said in a statement Saturday. “I doubt it will accomplish that, and I’m sorry to see a dedicated public servant end his tenure this way.”

Inslee said Pacholke was working hard to get the agency through difficult times. Pacholke was appointed by the governor to lead the department in October, but the Senate had not yet confirmed his appointment. On Friday, Senate Republicans showed they were willing to use their power to remove department heads when they voted to reject Inslee’s appointment of Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson. In that rare move, majority Republicans and a Democrat who caucuses with them voted 25-21 to not confirm her appointment, ousting her from the job she has held since 2013. Some Democrats argued the act was a political ploy. In his resignation letter to Inslee, Pacholke apologized for “the tragic consequences” as a result of the sentencing calculation errors. The agency was first alerted to the error — which started in 2002 — in December 2012, when a victim’s

SeaPort Airlines files for Chapter 11 BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORTLAND, Ore. — SeaPort Airlines Inc., which had been in talks with the Port of Port Angeles to offer scheduled passenger air service from William R. Fairchild International Airport to Seattle, has filed a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 reorganization in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Oregon. The airline, which is based in Portland, Ore., announced the move Friday. It had talked with the Port of Port Angeles to offer passenger service to and from Port Angeles beginning March 1. However, in mid-January, SeaPort officials notified port staff the company was postponing scheduled air service from Port Angeles to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport indefinitely due to a pilot shortage. Port officials are seeking an alternative airline to restore service. The port, with the aid of Forecast Inc. — a search firm based in Denver — has been seeking a commercial airline to provide service to Fairchild since Kenmore Air abandoned operations there in November 2014. SeaPort Airlines also is postponing its planned service from Moses Lake to

Seattle and Portland. On Friday, the company announced that Rob McKinney has resigned as president and CEO. SeaPort’s executive vice president, Timothy Sieber, is now president of the company.

Chapter 11 “The difficult decision to file for bankruptcy protection was necessary to preserve the future of our airline,” Sieber said. “I am confident we will come out the other side of reorganization with a financially stronger airline in a better position to handle the challenges of the industry and provide the quality service our customers, employees and partners deserve.” Under court supervision, SeaPort will propose a plan of reorganization. The airline had reduced its route network as a result of a national pilot shortage, the company said. In addition to canceling service in Oregon and Washington, SeaPort on Jan. 15 announced it also had canceled services in California, Kansas and Missouri. Remaining day-to-day operations will not be interrupted by the Chapter 11 filing, company officials say.

Sequim man cited for wrecking parked vehicle BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — A Sequim man apparently in a hurry to arrive on time to court Friday afternoon slammed into a parked vehicle while attempting to pass traffic on the left shoulder, police said. The wreck at East Front Street near North Jones Street was reported at about 2:30 p.m. After speaking to Devon L. Rogers, 33, of Sequim and several witnesses, Port Angeles police said Rogers was in a hurry to get to court and was passing traf-

fic in his white pickup truck on the left shoulder of the two-lane one-way street for westbound traffic. As Rogers accelerated along the shoulder, his truck collided with a blue pickup truck that was parallel parked on Front Street, police say. The force of the impact propelled the parked vehicle southwest into a tree on the sidewalk. The blue truck was unoccupied at the time of the collision, police say. Rogers was treated by medics at the scene. Rogers was cited at the

scene by Officer Whitney Fairbanks for reckless driving and driving without insurance. Both lanes of Front Street were blocked while tow trucks removed the damaged vehicles from the roadway. Police encourage anyone with additional information about this incident to contact Fairbanks, the primary investigator, at 360-912-0168.

Ethics complaint filed on PA city deputy mayor BY PAUL GOTTLIEB PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — A former City Council candidate has filed an eight-part ethics complaint against Deputy Mayor Cherie Kidd over her conduct while presiding at a City Council meeting Tuesday night. Marolee Smith, who unsuccessfully ran for a position in November now occupied by Michael Merideth, filed the action Thursday under a section of the city code that was passed in 2012 — while Kidd was mayor. It’s the first ethics complaint filed under the new rules. Smith asks that Kidd be removed as deputy mayor, a position the council named her to in January. Some 50 to 60 people attended Tuesday’s meeting, with many signing up to speak — mostly about city water fluoridation — during public comment periods. The complaint will be decided by a three-person citizens’ ethics board named by the City Council — not including Kidd, City Attorney Bill Bloor said Friday. The pool of citizens whose names are currently filed with the city for participation on a board of ethics consists of Grant Meiner, William Yucha, Kenneth Williams, Diana Tschimperle, Danetta Rutten, Frank J. Prince Jr., Roy Gotham, Edward Zoble and Jerry Dean, said Kari Martinez-Bailey, administrative assistant with the city manager’s office, said Friday. The City Council will discuss the complaint at the council’s next regular meet-

ing Feb. 16. “I feel there is no validity at all in any of the charges,” Kidd said Friday. Smith alleges Kidd violated the city Code of Ethical Conduct by prohibiting political signs, limiting public comment, acting in a way that discredited public officials and engaging “in harassment of each speaker in the public comment period” during a meeting that drew some 50 to 60 people. She also alleges that Kidd “was rude to several of the City Council members,” was abusive and verbally attacked the character or motives of the public, and “demeaned, harassed and intimidated another person.” The eighth part of the complaint was as follows: “And, perhaps the most egregious, as a public official Ms. Kidd did NOT conduct herself toward the public in a civil or professional manner, and did NOT foster public respect and cooperation.” Smith said in an interview Friday that Kidd’s actions were divisive at a time that the city needs to come together. “She did exactly the wrong thing,” Smith said. Kidd, standing in for Mayor Patrick Downie, who was ill, abruptly adjourned Tuesday’s meeting after interrupting a speaker over what she said were insulting comments toward City Council members. The speaker had compared four council members who had voted to continue fluoridation — Downie, Kidd, Dan Gase and Brad Collins — to “The Four Horsemen.”

“However if you compare this to Clover Creek Elementary that was built a few years back, even with inflation that is only $13.2 million, for a brand new school which is three times the size with 400 more students. “ Friederich said the idea that the school is asking for more than it needs is “crazy.” “We are not wasting money,” he said. “If we knew of any way to spend less, we would.” John Ratchford of Port Townsend in a letter to the editor published in the Peninsula Daily News compared the cost of the district’s proposal to that of a cheaper one in the United Kingdom and urged that the Port Townsend bond be voted down. Randall said the Port Townsend bond has no wiggle room. “The community did not want a cheap building,” Randall said. “They wanted something that would last 50 to 75 years, to replace a throwaway building from the 1950s that was not designed to be expanded.” Randall said a new Grant Street Elementary would cost $285 per square foot, compared to the $310 per square foot requested in Sequim’s bond issue.

Reconfigure schools Both Chimacum and Port Townsend seek to reconfigure schools to reflect a standard grade structure while supporting needed repairs on their respective campuses. If the bond issues pass, both districts will be identically configured with elementary school as kindergarten through fifth grade, middle school as sixth through eighth grade and high school as ninth through 12th grade. The Grant Street school is not only overcrowded, bond supporters say, but is in disrepair, with a leaky roof and an unstable heating system. If the bond passes, the district would build a new school behind the old building, which would be demolished.

Would try again Both Randall and Friederich said if their bonds fail, the measures would be streamlined and resubmitted to the voters, with Friederich saying, “Each time we do this, it gets more expensive.”

Quilcene, Brinnon request replacement levies BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

QUILCENE — School district maintenance and operations levies in Quilcene and in Brinnon 12 miles south would support educational programs without imposing any significant new taxes, administrators say. “Schools aren’t getting adequate funds from the state, so levies are needed to support programs, from classroom instruction to food service,” Brinnon School Superintendent Patricia Beathard said. Added Quilcene Superintendent Wally Lis: “We need to get the community to support programs that backfill what the state does.” Both are replacement levies on Tuesday’s ballot. Both continue the funding of previously approved levies that will expire at the end of this year. The levies support the basic educational programs for students and must be renewed to continue as a funding source. Maintenance and operations levies can be used to help provide funding the state does not cover such as the maintenance of current building structures, underfunded transportation expenses, underfunded food service expenses, the purchase of new textbooks and expenses for extracurricular activities such as athletics or clubs. Quilcene’s current levy, set to expire In Port Townsend, a property tax rate of $1.24 per $1,000 assessed property value would be expected to be required for 20 years to finance the bond. Property owners are now paying 54 cents per $1,000 assessed value for a capital improvements levy that will be retired in 2016. That means the new measure, if approved, would result in a net increase for capital improvements of 70 cents per $1,000 assessed value, proponents say.

Annual property tax Approval of the bond measure would mean the annual property tax for a $150,000 property would increase by $105, the school district said. In Chimacum, a property tax levy rate of $1.26 per $1,000 assessed property value would be expected to be required for 20 years to finance the bond. Approval of the bond measure would mean the annual property tax for a $150,000 property would increase by $189, the school district said.

The all-volunteer Discovery Bay Fire & Rescue is asking voters to approve a $530,000 bond to replace Fire Station 51 on the corner of Bentley Place and East Uncas Road in Discovery Bay. The new building would be a metal frame structure of about 9,400 square feet, with four equipment bays, office space and a trainingmeeting room that also would be available for community events and a shelter in the event of an emergency, the district says on its website. The present building is a former county road public works cinder-block shed built circa 1940, said Chief Willy Knoepfle, who is one of 16 volunteers.

Discovery Bay It has two small bays for equipment and a small room housing the department kitchen, laundry room and bathroom, he added. “There’s absolutely no room to do anything” in the bays, he said. A larger building also could be used as a community meeting place, he pointed out. “We have no church, no

community center, no nothing in Discovery Bay,” he said. “We don’t even have a place to have a funeral.” The bond would be paid over 20 years. It would cost taxpayers an estimated levy of $1,88 per $1,000, or about $53 per year on a home assessed at $100,000.

To find cheapest flights, the day (kind of) matters BY STEPHANIE ROSENBLOOM THE NEW YORK TIMES

Is there a best day to get the lowest price on a flight? Many travelers think the magic day is Tuesday, long lauded by travel deal sites and various publications, including this one, for its fare sales. Other travelers may have heard pundits declare Wednesday the ideal day. In December, Expedia and the Airlines Reporting Corp., which processes ticket transactions for airlines and travel agencies, announced that weekends are the new best time. But is there really a preferred day to buy? “I just want to drive a stake through the heart of that myth,” said George Hobica, the founder of the deal alert site Airfare BRIEFLY/A11 watchdog.com, who has been

looking at airfares on popular routes every day for more than 20 years, with the rare exception of a vacation where he doesn’t have Internet access. There are too many variables at play for there to be a universally ideal day to buy an airline ticket.

Variety of price factors Price depends on a variety of factors, including the route; the level of competition on the route; surrounding holidays and events (like a convention or the Super Bowl); and the days of the week you plan to fly. During a single week in March, for example, a recent search for a round-trip flight between New York and Miami turned up ticket prices as low as $174 and as high as $314. Besides, nowadays we have

fare calendars at our fingertips and websites such as Kayak and Travelzoo that alert us to low fares and sales — and those sales don’t always take place on the same day of the week. Hobica pointed out, for instance, that on a recent Thursday, Virgin Atlantic lowered nonstop winter flights to Heathrow Airport in London from John F. Kennedy International Airport or Newark Liberty International Airport to about $504 round-trip. Economy fares had been running $900, Hobica said, then $800, then they went back up, and after that they dipped to around $680. Airlines (and the above example is but one of many) are perpetually tweaking prices, making predictions difficult. TURN

Arnold Kling, entrepreneur, economist and teacher, writes on his blog. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could easily find yourself needing to take out a loan if your savings are tied up in an annuity and your spouse requires a home health aide.â&#x20AC;? Felix Reichling of the Congressional Budget Office and Kent Smetters at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania researched that insight. The model they developed suggests that annuitization is a risky strategy once health care shocks for the elderly are taken into account.

Rezac and Skoro are semiretired graphic designers in Minneapolis who are gradually winding down their firm, accepting business if it comes but no longer marketing their services. Their household portfolio is more than $1 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What attracts us to the annuity is the steady income,â&#x20AC;? Rezac said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The advice weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had is that the stock market will implode over the next few years, and this is a way to solve that problem.â&#x20AC;? Still, Rezac and Skoro are uncertain about taking the plunge. Do they really want to give up control over their savings in return for a monthly income? They worry that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the tradeoffs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people hate them and others think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re great,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confusing.â&#x20AC;?

Estimated spending

401(k) plans Today, only about 10 percent of participants in defined-contribution retirement savings plans like a 401(k) annuitize their savings when they retire. And the total amount is even more modest: In 2012, sales of individual fixed immediate annuities were just $7.7 billion, but households transferred $301 billion to individual retirement accounts from employersponsored plans. Behavioral scholars have come up with reasons annuities arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t highly regarded. These include â&#x20AC;&#x153;money illusionâ&#x20AC;? (lump sum investment is so much larger than the monthly income stream) and â&#x20AC;&#x153;availability errorsâ&#x20AC;? (fear of dying right after signing the contract). Another reason is â&#x20AC;&#x153;smell of deathâ&#x20AC;? pessimism (buying an annuity means giving up hope of investing for gain). But the reluctance to buy annuities is not irrational. For one thing, a broadbased stock index fund is far more likely to outperform the return on an annuity over most time frames, particularly when interest rates are extremely low, as they are now.

At the same time, there are other techniques people can use to reduce the risk of outliving their assets. These strategies include working longer, delaying filing for Social Security benefits until age 70 and cutting down on fixed household costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an annuity and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to buy an annuity,â&#x20AC;? said Meir Statman, a finance professor at Santa Clara University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am sufficiently responsible and have enough self-

control that I can moderate my consumption around my circumstances.â&#x20AC;? While marketed as supersafe, annuities do carry some risks. No investor should buy an annuity without making sure the insurance company has a top credit rating and a sound balance sheet. Moreover, buyers should be wary of tying up all their savings in an annuity. Besides the risk of outliving your investments, â&#x20AC;&#x153;other risks may be more serious,â&#x20AC;?

Fidelity estimates that on average a couple, both age 65 and who retired in 2015, can expect to spend an estimated $245,000 on health care during their retirement. Fidelityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s figure does not include nursing home and long-term care expenses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most Americans in our model should not annuitize,â&#x20AC;? Smetters said. He does recommend considering annuities if you have at least $500,000 set aside first, half for medical expenses and half to tap when needed. His financial rule of thumb eliminates most boomers. The median balance for people age 65 to 74 with retirement savings in 2010 was $138,000 for married households and $49,000 for single households, according to Poterba. The comparable numbers for those age 55 to 64 is $130,000 married and $45,000 single. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly, there is the dynamic that people who can afford a significant allocation to annuities donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to,â&#x20AC;? said Michael Kitces, a certified financial planner and director of research at Pinnacle Advisory Group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rest canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really annuitize all their wealth.â&#x20AC;? What are the alternatives? Social Security is an inflation-adjusted creditworthy annuity far superior to anything offered in the marketplace. Working longer, even earning a part-time income, makes it easier to delay fil-

ing for Social Security benefits until age 70. Waiting will produce real returns of 4 percent, 5 percent or even 6 percent a year for those living to age 90 and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Social Security is an awesome annuity,â&#x20AC;? Smetters said. Moreover, people heading into the traditional retirement years often underestimate how much they can reduce their financial risks by paying off their mortgage and reducing other fixed expenses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a better way to reduce risk,â&#x20AC;? said Ross Levin, a certified financial planner and co-founder of Accredited Investors Inc. in Edina, Minn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Manage your expenses. Manage your cash flow. Pay attention to debt. Pay attention to taxes.â&#x20AC;? What if you still think you would be safer putting a portion of your savings into an annuity? A starting place is comparison shopping at a website such as Immediate annuities.com.

Check the offerings of low-fee providers like Vanguard, TIAA-CREF and USAA. You should also work with a fee-only financial planner to evaluate the pluses and minuses and work through the costs and benefits of several policy enhancements. A policy that protects against inflation, for example, is increasingly valuable the longer you own the annuity. Married couples typically choose a joint and survivor policy, meaning the payments will continue to the widow or widower. You can buy an annuity that returns some money to heirs. The price for each policy enhancement is a lower monthly payout. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let a financial adviser or insurance broker talk you into wasting your money on variable annuities, an overly complex, high-fee product with mutual-fundlike accounts wrapped in a tax shelter. You can do better keeping it simple.

Three electronic warfare views

Take fluoridation to a real vote IT’S NOT WORKING. The Port Angeles City Council has mismanaged the process of obtaining public input on the fluoridation of city water to the point that many members of the public feel disenfranchised rather than empowered by those elected to represent them. The issue has gone beyond fluoridation to the question of whether democracy works in Port Angeles. Speakers who feel their wishes have been ignored have packed council meetings to boo at Councilmen Dan Gase and Brad Collins, Deputy Mayor Cherie Kidd and Mayor Patrick Downie — dubbed the Fluoride Four — who voted in favor of fluoridation as a public health measure to protect residents’ teeth. Kidd, who served as chair of the council last Tuesday while Downie participated by phone, showed her exasperation, interrupting speakers, cutting some short before their three-minute limit ended and using her gavel liberally before abruptly adjourning the meeting and walking out. Gase also left. Collins remained in the audience. Remaining at the dais were council members Michael Merideth, Sissi Bruch and Lee Whetham, who encouraged public comment for another 30 minutes. The rift has led to a movement by those who feel unrepresented by the majority of the City Council to downgrade Port Angeles city government from a code city to a second-class city. That potentially could stop the fluoridating of city water by prompting new elections for all seven council seats. But it’s only a possibility. What the change would definitely do is strip residents of their ability to originate initiatives and referenda and deny their City Council representatives home-rule authority. Even anti-fluoridation activist Dr. Eloise Kailin called the move a “draconian” solution, while also saying it might be necessary to stop what she and others feel is forced medication that harms them. Surely there’s a better way to deal with the fluoridation question than by changing the form of city government for the sake of one issue. How can we as a community hit the reset button to bring down the animosity and have a productive dialogue? The community process of decision-making prompted by the upcoming expiration of a 10-year contract to fluoridate water was derailed by an informal, unscientific survey sent to all city water customers. Many of those opposed to fluoridation refer to the survey as a vote. They see the council’s Jan. 5

EDITOR’S NOTE: Below is an exchange of views for Peninsula Voices dating back to May 6, 2015, with different perspectives on the Navy’s electronic warfare range proposal. The U.S. Forest Service is processing a Navy permit request to deploy mobile electromagnetic transmitters on Forest Service roads that would interact with Naval Air Station Whidbey Island jets for electronic warfare exercises. Information on the project is available at http://tinyurl. com/PDN-electwarfare.

decision to continue fluoridation despite a majority of survey respondents opposing it as a slap in the face of democracy. The survey was not a vote. Even as a survey, it was deeply flawed. Questionnaires were sent only to water customers, not all water users. Those whose name was not on a water account — such as others living in a household or renters whose landlords pay their water bills — did not receive surveys while those with multiple water accounts received several. Of the total who responded, 2,381, or 56.64 percent, rejected continuing fluoridation, while 1,835, or 41.27, approved the practice. But less than half of the 9,762 surveys were returned. That left Kidd to conclude that most who received surveys had no problem with water fluoridation. She moved to continue fluoridation, and her motion was supported by the three others of the “Fluoride Four,” with all four basing their decisions on hearings as well as the survey. The survey fostered an expectation that results would be accepted as the will of the people. So the council decision didn’t end the debate. Instead, it has grown in animosity, with both sides conducting themselves inappropriately. Members of the City Council and those opposed to fluoridation are reacting off each other’s actions to the point that the original question has become obscured. Our elected officials on the council should go back to the drawing board and defuse the situation by listening to their constituents. That could be done through an advisory vote. The council last year decided against placing such a vote on the Nov. 3 ballot after Clallam County Auditor Shoona Riggs said the county could not mail ballots to the more than 1,550 Clallam County Public Utility District addresses that receive city water because ballots are mailed by precincts, not geographic areas that contain portions of precincts. Instead, the council opted for the informal survey that included city water customers who are within the public utility district outside of the city. An advisory vote would leave out customers who live outside city limits. But after all, the decision is one that is made by the Port Angeles City Council and an advisory vote would give a better picture of the wishes of its constituents than an informal, flawed survey. If such a vote were taken, all parties would need to agree to abide by it. Don’t ask the question if you aren’t prepared to accept the answer.

Electronic warfare Remember the adage, you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone? We need to keep this in mind when evaluating the Navy’s proposed electronic warfare range. According to the “Economic Analysis of Outdoor Recreation in Washington State,” published in January [2015], outdoor recreation expenditures contributed more than $673 million to the economies of Clallam and Jefferson counties. Most of these visitors are seeking beauty and quiet. Now, imagine the Navy flying the loudest jets it has in formations of up to 16 hours a day most days of the year over the water, over the beaches, over the forests, at elevations as low as 1,200 feet above ground level, with an open-ended ticket to accommodate more training. What’s the visitor’s experience of the Olympic Peninsula? All the communities of the Peninsula are a fly-over zone as well. How will this affect property values? What economic benefit is the Navy providing us? None. It is simply degrading our biggest asset. Loggers have to adhere to noise regulations. Why not the Navy?

Terry R. Ward, Publisher Leah Leach, Executive Editor

Speaking Out

The Navy says there is a lot of misinformation regarding this issue, yet it did not notify local communities or Olympic National Park. Read the Navy and U.S. Forest Service documents. What’s striking is the lack of information. The environmental assessment does not include Olympic National Park on its map. Per Forest Service directives, the Navy needs to prove that it has no suitable or available land elsewhere. An informed public seems to be the last thing these two agencies want. Lee Norton, Port Angeles We had asked Liane Nakahara, a Navy spokeswoman at the time, for a response to Norton’s letter. Here it is: These arguments against the electronic warfare range are prime examples of the misinformation circulating on this issue. The Navy is not expanding its area of operations or changing how we fly. There will be no change to where we fly, the altitudes we fly or how much noise we make. The only change is the addition of ground transmitters that will enhance the training already being conducted. The cited benefits to the economies of Clallam and Jefferson counties were all gained while the Navy continued to fly over the Olympic Peninsula just as it has been doing for decades. According to the April 24 Peninsula Daily News [“Olympic National Park Sees 10 Percent Jump In Visitors”], Olympic National Park enjoyed a 10 percent increase in visitors in 2014, the largest increase since 2002 and a greater increase than all the 370 areas managed by the national Park Service, all while the Navy continued to fly over the Olympic Peninsula.

cle on a mammoth skull found in Sequim buried in the sand [“Mammoth Fossil Emerges Near Bay Bluffs”]. That is where the heads of the “Fluoride Four” are buried. Let’s hope that it doesn’t take 50,000 years before they are uncovered. Cora Pond, Port Angeles

Reopen SARC The Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center — there are lives at stake. This morning, I read in the PDN that the proposed grant from the county for SARC pool equipment is in jeopardy because of competing needs from sewer projects in other towns and cities [“SARC Funding On Hold Pending Sewer Bids,” Jan. 26, Clallam edition]. While these projects might be considered to serve more so-called immediate needs, I feel that the human cost of a closed SARC has not been adequately highlighted. I want to share about the very special people I have met at SARC over the years. My mother lived at Sherwood Assisted Living in her last years. Her 85-year-old best friend walked to SARC to swim each day. She had early stage dementia but could still make the trip. SARC added much to her emotional well-being and physical health. Another SARC friend was a newly widowed man who had few friends. He relied on his visit to SARC each day to keep him going physically and emotionally.

In one of the SARC workout rooms, I met a young man who had had a sudden stroke. He was getting excellent help from the staff in his efforts to regain function. I also met a young mother who worked two jobs to try to keep her family of three children together. Their SARC membership was their only “luxury.” It provided swimming lessons for the children, respite for the mother while the children swam and showers for all of them, as their water heater did not work at home. So please, community leaders, remember that there is a human factor here. We, as a civilized society, should find the resources for the needs of our community. Martha Moyer, Sequim

Water rule Now that the Dungeness Water Rule has been in place for two years, I hope you will consider providing your readers with an update on its implementation. Please address the two most salient impacts: ■ The rule has destroyed the value of thousands of acres of Clallam land. ■ It has failed to return even one drop of water to area rivers and streams. To date, its only accomplishment has been to increase taxation on those unfortunates who failed to arrive in the county sooner. Mark Couhig, Sequim

Spinal Epidural Injections? Some people ďŹ nd temporary relief from spinal injections, however the pain eventually returns as injections are generally a treatment that aids in the healing process. Patients can become dependent on such injections and can have a difďŹ cult time functioning without them. Why spend a lifetime masking pain with spinal injections when there is a more permanent non-surgical healing alternative?

Many people try to wait back pain out only to ďŹ nd that it keeps getting worse. They buy new mattresses, try different stretching exercises, learn new techniques for sitting and standing etc., only to ďŹ nd that their condition doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t improve. Why suffer longer than you need to? If you are considering extreme measures, visit NW Pain Relief Centers ďŹ rst! Why let any degree of back or neck pain persist if you can stop it before it takes over your life!

Is Surgery the Answer? Consider These Facts Before Surgery UĂ&#x160;

Back surgery can cost over $50,000

UĂ&#x160;

Recovery can be very painful and take months or years

UĂ&#x160;

Surgery may or may not relieve your pain

UĂ&#x160;

Dependence on prescription drugs may occur after surgery

UĂ&#x160;

Missed work can amount to thousands in lost wages

UĂ&#x160;

Outcomes may be uncertain, surgery is not reversible

It is true that surgery may be the answer for certain types of back injuries. When considering your options, ask yourself this question: If there is a solution to back pain that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require surgery, is it worth exploring?

The Solution: NW Pain Relief Centersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Laser and Decompression Program During the spinal decompression therapy a negative pressure is created within the inside of the disc called the nucleus pulposus. Because of that negative pressure disc material that has protruded, herniated or slipped discs can be pulled back within the normal conďŹ nes of the disc and permit healing to occur. Laser and Decompression Therapy at NW Pain Relief Centers can help you get your life back and reduce your back pain.

Laser Treatment and Spinal Decompression Allow Neck and Back Pain to Heal... NATURALLY

BEFORE

AFTER

In the before picture you can see the herniated disc (black) protruding into the spinal column (white, center of MRI). After decompression treatment, the MRI shows the herniated disc is no longer bulging into the spinal cord.

In addition to spinal decompression technology, combining the use of cold laser therapy, produces even greater relief. Cold (class IV) laser does not cause tissue destruction, instead, it accelerates cellular repair. The power generator of cells is called mitochondria. Cold laser is absorbed by the mitochondria, much like a plant absorbs sunlight and converts it to energy for growth. Cold laser reduces pain and inďŹ&#x201A;ammation, and accelerates soft tissue repair. Our dedicated team of medical professionals will show you how our laser and decompression can help you with your back pain and sciatica. If you have back pain or neck pain and it has been caused in whole or in part by a degenerated or damaged disc you may ďŹ nd relief from the customized laser and decompression therapy at NW Pain Relief Centers. We have helped thousands of patients ďŹ nd relief from the following conditions: herniated discs, protruding or

bulging discs, spinal foraminal stenosis, sciatica or radiculopathy (pinched nerves).

Why NW Pain Relief Centers? NW Pain Relief Centers has uniquely qualiďŹ ed doctors with years of experience helping patients ďŹ nd lasting relief. Their experience with laser and decompression therapy has been invaluable to their patients. Hundreds of testimonials from current and previous patients validate the effectiveness of NW Pain Relief Centersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; programs. If you are suffering from neck or back pain you should call and schedule your complimentary consultation. When you combine knowledge and experience with advanced medical equipment you too can ďŹ nd relief. In addition to pain relief, rehabilitation and injury care we also provide wellness care and physical rehabilitation therapy to keep your body healthy.

Who is a Candidate for Laser Treatment and Spinal Decompression Therapy? Our spinal decompression and laser system uses FDA cleared technology. Research demonstrates its effectiveness in relieving the pain associated with this degeneration, herniated disc, facet syndrome and sciatica. Laser treatment and spinal decompression are great options because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involve the risks of back surgery.

No Risk Consultation! Even with these exceptional treatments, if someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition has progressed too far, conservative treatment may no longer be an option and we would not be able to accept them for care. Fortunately we are able to help most of the people who come to us suffering from chronic pain. To ďŹ nd out if you are a candidate for treatment we are offering a consultation and screening evaluation. There is no obligation. This will allow us to determine whether or not we can help you.

PA wins share of Olympic crown BY MICHAEL CARMAN PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

KINGSTON — Port Angeles clinched a share of the Olympic League 2A girls basketball championship with Olympic after earning a 53-49 come-from-behind win against the Buccaneers. It is the program’s second Olympic League championship in three seasons.. The Roughriders will host a district playoff game at 7 p.m. Thursday versus Steilacoom (7-11) or Fife (10-10). Against Kingston on Thursday, Port Angeles trailed 24-18 at halftime, before coming back to tie the contest at 32-all heading to the final quarter. “[We] took the lead 39-38 on a 3-point shot from the corner from Katyn Flores off an assist from Maddie Boe,” Riders coach Michael Poindexter said. “Our largest lead of the half was 50-42, after a 3-point shot from the top of the key by Lauren Lunt, again with a Boe assist.” But the Buccaneers were buoyed by a four-point play by Aileen Kaye, and pulled within two, at 51-49. “[We] went up 53-49, on the last basket of the game, on a three-quarter-court pass by Nizhoni Wheeler to a wide-open Lauren Lunt, who made the uncontested lay-in for the final margin,” Poindexter said. “There was much drama down the stretch, [including] a double-foul called with 15 seconds left gave Kingston the possession of the ball, but Kingston missed their remaining shots of the game.” Nizhoni Wheeler led the Riders with 14 points and nine rebounds. Hayley Baxley and Katyn Flores each scored nine for Port Angeles. Baxley also led the Riders with four steals. Cheyenne Wheeler scored seven points and added eight rebounds for Port Angeles. Boe led the Riders in assists with seven, and added seven rebounds and two points. Port Angeles finished the regular season 10-2 in league play, 17-3 overall.

Forks works overtime Win garners Spartans a playoff spot BY MICHAEL CARMAN PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

FORKS — Down 10 points in the second half, the Forks boys basketball team rallied to preserve its season in a 69-63 overtime win against Montesano. Friday’s senior night victory, coupled with Tenino’s 66-38 loss to Aberdeen, moved the Spartans ahead of the Beavers for the Evergreen League’s fourth seed to the Class 1A Southwest District Tournament.

Heading south Forks will visit TriCo League champions King’s Way Christian (15-2), the third-ranked team in the latest Associated Press poll, at 7 p.m. Friday in Vancouver. “When you don’t give up, good things happen,” Spartans coach Rick Gooding said. “We didn’t run a lot of offense. It was kind of a struggle all night and it seemed like it might be one of those coulda, woulda shoulda type games. “But I tell you what, our boys did not give up. They came through, played hard, made some 3s down the stretch and won it in overtime.” Gooding said Parker Browning, who led all scorers with 22 points, hit two big 3-point shots in the fourth quarter to give the LONNIE ARCHIBALD/FOR PENINSULA DAILY NEWS Forks’ comeback bid a boost. Forks’ Marky Adams rebounds over Montesano’s Nick Chapman. Also in on the play TURN TO PREPS/B3 is Montesano’s Kaleb Chastain and Parker Browning.

SEATTLE — Ryan Anderson scored 22 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, Kadeem Allen hit a 3-pointer with 1:01 left as the shot clock expired and No. 23 Arizona held on for a 77-72 win over Washington on Saturday. Anderson was a force on the inside, making 6 of 12 shots and hitting 10 of 11 free throws, and Allen’s big shot gave the Wildcats a 75-70 lead. It was just his second basket of the game after missing his first six shots. Andrew Andrews hit a pair of free throws for Washington, but Anderson came up with an offensive rebound after Gabe York missed a shot with 23 seconds remaining. Anderson hit both free throws and the Wildcats were able to escape.

week, really program-building, character-building wins,” coach Kasey Ulin said. “Now we are heading into the postseason with some momentum and the kids are excited.” The Riders’ prize?

Denver brings dominanting Panthers too good, versatile defense into Super Bowl 50 for Broncos No. 1 defense BY ARNIE STAPLETON

BY STEVE REED

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Peyton Manning wanted to make one thing perfectly clear when he arrived in the Golden Gate City for the golden anniversary of the Super Bowl: “Our defense is what got us here.” Von Miller, Chris Harris Jr., Derek Wolfe, all sideline spectators last time, leading the way. His boss, John Elway, said something similar 17 years ago before riding off into that orange sunset with a second Super Bowl ring. Manning can do the same today if he musters one more magical performance out of his 39-year-old body and that quick mind. Two years ago, Manning brought along the league’s top offense — in fact, the highest-scoring team in NFL history — and things didn’t work out. This time, he’s tagging along with the league’s No. 1 defense. The “Orange Rush” finished first in the NFL in sacks, yards per play, pass defense and total defense. But to earn their place atop or even alongside the ‘85 Bears or ‘00 Ravens, Denver’s fearsome front-seven and star-studded secondary will have to corral Cam Newton and beat the favored Carolina Panthers. “We got goal boards in our locker room and we see everything that we’ve done this year,” cornerback Aqib Talib said. “But everything will be forgotten by next season if we don’t come home with that trophy.” They’re very capable of doing just that. This is a defense that knocked Aaron Rodgers silly, limiting him to 77 yards in the worst game of his career, sent Andrew Luck into the hospital and ushered Tom Brady into the

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The Denver Broncos and their top defense haven’t seen anything quite like Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers, the No. 1 scoring offense in the league. The Panthers (17-1) are on a roll, jumping on playoff opponents early. The primary question today might not be whether they’ll win the franchise’s first Vince Lombardi Trophy, but if they’ll hand the Broncos another Super Bowl blowout. “I think it’s his moment,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said of Newton, “as well as it’s our moment,” Although Broncos defensive end DeMarcus Ware said he’s “not really worried about [Carolina’s] offense,” the potential is there for this one to get away, especially if the Panthers get off to another hot start like they have in their two previous postseason games and force Peyton Manning to become one-dimensional. The Panthers have feasted on pocket passers all season, the latest example being Carson Palmer, who committed six turnovers in Carolina’s 49-15 win over Arizona in the NFC championship. Carolina’s defense, which led the league in takeaways, quickly shifts from good to great when the offense gives them a lead. They have nine takeaways and eight sacks in the postseason. Luke Kuechly, one of three All-Pro players on defense, has two interception returns for touchdowns in the playoffs. But the trigger for Carolina is establishing the running game. “Mike Tolbert and Stew [Jonathan Stewart] make their play-action game go,”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Von Miller (58), is the leader of the Denver Broncos top-rated defense. offseason with a 23-hit beat-down. The players say that it’s hard for them to study film of how other defenses played the Panthers. “Nobody’s really playing like how we play and it makes it kind of hard to watch the film because you see these other teams and they’re not as good. They’re nowhere close,” Harris said. “They have a great offense, so it’s going to be a tough battle. But I don’t think they’ve seen anybody with the speed we have.” What the Broncos (14-4) need to do is keep things close and not let the Panthers (17-1) get off to a fast start — they’ve outscored their opponents 55-7 in the first half in the playoffs. Denver knows how a punch to the gut can ruin great game plans. The Broncos were illprepared for the noise and the nerves two years ago, as the first snap sailed into the end zone for a safety 12 seconds into the Super Bowl. Denver never recovered in a 35-point shellacking by the Seahawks that prompted Elway to spend

more than $100 million to sign DeMarcus Ware, T.J. Ward and Talib, then draft cornerback Bradley Roby and linebacker Shane Ray. Even-keeled Gary Kubiak pumped up the jams at practice to prepare for noise. Should the Broncos find themselves behind, though, they’re not going to freak out, Anderson said. They’re the only team in NFL history to overcome two-touchdown deficits to beat three playoff-bound teams in a season. They did it against the Chiefs in Week 2, the Patriots in Week 12 and the Bengals in Week 16. Still, old man Manning faces his doubters and some think the Panthers defense is just as good as Denver’s. “Every time we turn on the TV people are just talking about how we’re going to get dogged this game, we’re going to get blown out,” Harris said with a laugh. “We love that, it just makes us hungrier.”

Prediction Denver 24, Carolina 14

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Carolina’s Cam Newton has put up MVP-caliber numbers this season for the Panthers. said Broncos defensive back T.J. Ward. “So if we stop the run, we stop the beginning of what they do, that helps the rest of their offense.” That’s a good plan, but executing it has proven to be a little more difficult. The Panthers have run for at least 100 yards in 31 straight games, including the playoffs. To put that in perspective, no other team has a streak longer than six games. Newton is a big part of that, rushing for 636 yards and 10 touchdowns, tying Steve Young’s record for career TDs by a quarterback. The game’s most versatile player, Newton shattered the myth that he’s just a running quarterback long ago. But he’s taken his passing to a whole different level this season, improving his accuracy and throwing for a career-high 35 touchdowns. He’s been lights out in the red zone, throwing 24 touchdowns with no interceptions. “He’s like a combination of two quarterbacks that were great quarterbacks in this league,” said Broncos defensive end Antonio Smith. “He’s got the escape ability of a Michael Vick and a body frame like Ben Roeth-

lisberger where people are bouncing off of you left and right.” Carolina’s passing game ranks near the bottom of the league, but that’s more a reflection of the team’s balance on offense. The Panthers are the only team that runs the ball more than they throw it. “Cam transitioned this year where he’s not going anywhere until he has to,” said Young. “It’s a whole mindset that the mastery of the pocket, the mastery of the data. Now he can enter in and say I don’t need to run. I can. I can run over you. But I don’t have to. I think he’s starting to see just the possibilities of what you can do from the pocket.” The Panthers may be a small market team and unfamiliar to some, but make no doubt it — they’re no fluke. They’ve won 22 of their last 24 games, including a 3-1 mark in the post season. In those 24 games Carolina has outscored its opponent by a whopping margin of 735-427 — or by an average score of 31-18. So why not play the odds?

Prediction Panthers 31, Broncos 18.

How pet phrases entered language HAVE YOU EVER thought about how many words and phrases we use every day that come straight from the horse’s mouth? Expressions that are the cat’s meow? You might even say our language has gone to the dogs. Animal-related terms are delightfully descriptive. Some are built upon animal characteristics — eagle-eyed, bird-brained, dog-eared — irrespective of accuracy (birds are actually pretty darn smart). Others come to us from languages such as Greek, Latin or Icelandic. Learning about their origins is fascinating. Here are some fun facts about pet phrases and how they came to be. ■ “Animal attraction.” A reference nowadays to strongly attractive personal charm, this phrase harks back (itself a phrase used in hunting with hounds) to the 18th century, when Franz Mesmer coined the term “animal magnetism” to describe his theory of an invisible natural force that could play a role in healing and other physical effects. ■ Other words describe our affinity for certain animals. An ailurophile is a person who loves cats. It comes from the Greek words “ailouros,” meaning cat, and “philos,” meaning loving. While people have been crazy for cats for more than 5,000 years, this term is relatively new, with its first known use in 1914. Dog-lovers have their own distinctive description, also deriving from ancient Greek. They are cynophilists, or cynophiles. ■ Collective terms. You’re probably familiar with the term “litter” referring to a group of kittens, but did you know that they can also be called a “kindle”? The word comes from

PET CONNECTION Kim Campbell

Middle English “kindlen” and means “to give birth.” The firstknown use of the phrase occurs in the 15thcentury “Book of St. Albans” as “a kyndyll of yong Cattis.” There are many different collective, or group, names for dogs, most of them related to hunting. These are called “terms of venery” and include “a mute of hounds,” from the Old French “meute,” meaning “pack” or “kennel”; “a leash of Greyhounds”; and “a couple of spaniels.” In modern times, dogloving wordsmiths have invented their own fanciful collective terms for specific breeds, drawing on wit and word play: a waddle of Pekingese, a snobbery of salukis, a rumble of Rottweilers, a snap of whippets, a grin of Japanese chin, a bounce of beardies, a shiver of Chihuahuas. I’m partial to a court of Cavaliers, myself. ■ “Hair of the dog.” Did your English teacher tell you that humans have hair while dogs and cats have fur? Technically, there’s no real difference. It’s all made of a protein called keratin. The ground hairs — soft, insulating fur — and the coarser protective guard hairs on pets are considered fur. The hair on your head has a texture that’s somewhere in between ground and guard hairs, so it’s not wrong to describe pets as having hair. But why do we call for “hair of the dog” the morning after a night on the town?

She said her father was the Kingfish the year she was born but “she ain’t telling” what year that was. Many Facebook readers remembered various aspects of the Salmon Club including Ronn Dilling, Jesslyn Warwick Winter, Scott Johnson, Brent Jones, Greg Higgerson, Karen Beck and Rob Hause. All recognized the building and had comments regarding the exact location.

Playing in the building Michael Lukey, son of Chuck Lukey, owner of the Thunderbird Boat House, said he used to play in the empty building when he

was a kid. He also remembered his cousins living in the apartment. Christie Fox Monpas remembered going to dinner as a child with her family at the clubhouse on the north side of the road.

Restaurant memories Bernice Byrne and Barbara Byrne Beck also remember there was a restaurant there for a time. (The 1954 Port Angeles directory lists Boat Haven Beanery with Mrs. Mary Ennis as manager.) Larry Edfelt said he recognized the building immediately. He remembered the building being moved farther toward the mill and

said he was in junior fishing derbies and adult derbies until about 1962. “I loved that old building and the crusty old salmon club guys who ran it,” Larry said. The Salmon Club Building was a part of Port Angeles history, and fishermen will always have a memory or two of the fish that “almost won.”

How to handle noisy children at hospitals RECENTLY, I VISITED a friend in the hospital. I was astounded to see the number of small children allowed into the hospital and into the rooms to visit. They were also loud. I have children of my own, and I would never take them into a hospital for fear of many things. If this should happen again, should I say something to the nurse, or if everyone is busy, as they were last weekend, should I say something to the parents?

Los Angeles advice I am a nurse and have worked at a variety of hospitals in several states. Because it is a business, most are independently run, so their visitation rules pertaining to children, their ages and etc. will be different. Rules can even range differently per kids’ ages, which floor they are allowed on and how long they can stay. However, I think we all tend to forget just how many germs and diseases there actually are just as soon as anyone steps inside the door of a hospital. Everyone is exposed to them each time they enter, especially children and the elderly. All anyone has to do is ask their doctor or friend or relative if they are a nurse or some type of medical personnel that gives tests at the hospital. I would not take my kids to one and cringe each time I see parents who have their children with them. C.H. in Los Angeles

From Jodie: I recently spent a lot of time at a local hospital visiting a family member and only on one occasion saw or

PARENT TO PARENT Jodie

heard small children. One of the doctors came into the room shaking his head. He calmly told us that he would never recommend for children, especially those younger than 12, to visit anyone at a hospital. His sentiments in his explanation were almost identical to the nurse’s above regarding germs and diseases that people, no matter what age, are immediately exposed to once they enter. I guess I really hadn’t thought about it before, but I certainly did after that. And while the kids I did see were a little noisy, they were not terribly loud, but a nurse did ask the parents to keep the visit short and quiet. So if this situation should arise again and everyone is busy, maybe look at an adult with the kids and just hold your index finger over your lips while closing the patient’s door. Later, you could check with one of the nurses and ask if it would be an appropriate way to handle this type of situation should it happen again.

Lynn

Can you help? My daughter will be 9 in a couple of months. Although for the past few years, the moms have stayed with their kids at the birthday party, they do not help much but sit around and chat and drink wine. It is done at all the kids’ birthday parties. I think this is stupid and lazy. How can I approach them about this, and what do I say?

But asking the woman at the shop how she gets paid seems intrusive to her and not terribly helpful to you.

Pierre Franey), buying an expensive bottle of Chablis is magnificently easier than cooking an excellent dinner. Perhaps this is coloring our fundamental disagreement about the nature of hostess gifts. You are bringing the wine to thank your sister-inlaw for her blood, sweat and grocery shopping â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not to consume it yourself. If you brought her peonies, would you expect to leave with a few stems? Call your sister-in-law before the next dinner and say: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become interested in wine pairings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would you mind if I brought a bottle that goes especially well with your menu tonight?â&#x20AC;? If she agrees, bring two bottles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one for the table and another as a hostess gift. Otherwise, not another pinot peep.

My brother is married to a lovely woman. We take turns dining at each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homes. She is an excellent cook but serves extremely bad wine. I arrive with a fine, expensive bottle. She thanks me for it, then whisks it away and brings out the cheap swill. Would I be committing a Worried sick social sin if I asked her to serve the bottle I brought? Three years ago, a close Sharon in Toronto friend and I had a big falling-out. I tried to mend From my vantage (as no things, but our relationship

has never been the same. We say hello but rarely converse. I heard that she is now undergoing chemotherapy. I feel the need to go to her and offer support. If our relationship had not soured, she would be confiding in me. Should I speak to her or pretend I know nothing? Bill I know your heart is in the right place. But serious illness is a nasty business. And people who are sick should be allowed to confide in whom they choose, not forced to dodge folks who want to insert themselves (however supportively) in their crisis. Complicating matters: We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how your friend feels about you, postblowout. If she still harbors resentment, your speaking with her might cause even more stress â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the last thing we want. Err on the side of safety and let her make the first move. Her need to take care of herself trumps your

desire to speak.

Every day is a holiday Last year, our new neighbors lit holiday decorations on their front yard until the beginning of April. This year, they doubled the number of decorations, and they are still up. Is there any way to ask them politely to take down the decorations if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come down soon? David in Weston, Conn. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got it: Knock on your neighborsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; door and ask if you can buy their place. If they agree, decorate as and when you like after the deal closes. Otherwise, keep still. Absent local ordinance, they are free to power up their twinkly lights on the Fourth of July, and you are free to avert your gaze. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called private property for a reason.

These signs of cheating shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be ignored HOW DID YOU know your spouse was cheating? Mandy says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let me count the ways . . .â&#x20AC;? The first clue was when her husband, Tom, started coming home later and later and became defensive when she asked him where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been. And then the outside of his wallet developed a circular imprint from his wedding band. He said he took off his ring because he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want it to scratch the steering wheel of his new car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was really into cars.â&#x20AC;? And then he started carrying breath spray. And rented a post office box. And she found a picture of a woman under the floor mat of his car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I replaced it with a

I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d Mandy got a call that there jewelry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wrong. I received a camera, a cookbook and high heels. Strange, he never bought me shoes before.â&#x20AC;? And then there was the time she was stopped at a traffic light and saw him in oncoming traffic although he was supposed to be on a 19th Annual business trip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He saw me as well and motioned for me to pull over. He told me heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d come home a day early to surprise me.â&#x20AC;? But everything came to a head when he had a sales meeting in Florida. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He told me heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d drive to the airport and park the car. Strange, I thought.

And he came home wearing different cologne than the one he wore when he left the house. She found an unfamiliar door key in the glove box of his car and a hoop earring among his loose change on the dresser. There was also a canceled check from a
