Steel pylons erected at Jefferson Healthcare site BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT TOWNSEND — Construction continues at Jefferson Healthcare hospital, where crews in the past week have erected the structural steel that will support the new emergency and special services building. The $20 million construction project is currently in phase 3, which began in October. The emergency and special services building is tentatively slated to be ready in mid-to-late 2016. The first portion of phase 3 included pouring the foundations and footers for the new building. The work is being performed by Aldrich+Associates of Bothell. The first phase, which began in May, concentrated on moving and upgrading utility lines, construction of new utility services to sup-

port the new building and reconfiguring parking lots on Ninth Street.

Rapid growth The project is necessary because the hospital’s outpatient services are growing rapidly and the new facility is designed to accommodate future growth, hospital officials have said. When completed, the new 50,000-square-foot building will change access to the hospital, moving the main entrance to the Sheridan Street side. It will include an expanded emergency department, an orthopedic clinic and an improved and dedicated cardiology services space supporting the latest in cardiac test procedures. TURN

Maritime center offers Pedestrian is lessons for landlubbers PT programs on wooden boat building, safety BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT TOWNSEND — Landlubbers with a curiosity for wooden seafaring vessels can learn what it takes to build them — and safely head out to open water — at the Northwest Maritime Center. The center, located at 431 Water St., is a campus and gath-

ering area on the waterfront in Port Townsend that provides educational programs for schoolaged youth, continuing education for adults and a variety of classes produced by other organizations. “We teach classes about how to build Chesapeake Light Craft kits like this” and other vessels, Garrett Cleland, 27, of Port Townsend said Tuesday afternoon while applying a coat of lacquer to a strip plank kayak inside the center’s boat shop. The boat shop is owned by the Wooden Boat Foundation, a nonprofit founded in 1978 that later created youth and adult pro-

The kayak built by Cleland was almost ready for use on the water Tuesday, he said. “I just have to sand the bottom and top and do one more coat of varnish and put . . . bungee cords and a foam seat and seat back,” he said. “That will take about two hours.” Cleland built the kayak with a kit for a private customer in Oregon, he said.

Home Fund to help others in the new year Gifts could make all the difference PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

ON THE VERGE OF New Year’s Eve, compassionate Peninsula Daily News readers continue to help through the “hand up, not a handout” Peninsula Home Fund. Of all the gifts they give this holiday season, their donations to the Home Fund could mean the most. Thursday is the end of our holiday season fundraising campaign — and while the Home Fund never closes, Thursday is the last day to make a donation and get a tax donation for 2015. For 27 years, the Home Fund

has been a safety net for Jefferson and Clallam residents when there is nowhere else to turn. What the Home Fund will do for our neighbors in Jefferson and Clallam counties in 2016 depends on how much is raised in 2015.

This year’s help This year, using the money raised in 2014, the Home Fund has helped 2,974 people as of Monday. These are your neighbors. These are local people that our partner, OlyCAP — nonprofit Olympic Community Action Pro-

grams — wouldn’t have been able to help otherwise. In 2014, $271,981 was contributed to the Home Fund — a record amount. Approximately $245,328 of the money contributed by individuals, couples, businesses, churches, organizations and school groups had been spent as of Monday. OlyCAP expects that the rest, some $26,653, will be given to those in need by mid-January — just in time for this year’s funding to be in place. Will 2015’s donations match those of 2014? As of Dec. 22, donations were $161,463. The money raised this year

‘Shoestring philanthropy’ The Home Fund has demonstrated, time and again, how even a seemingly modest sum of money can relieve or vastly improve the lives of families across the Peninsula — thanks to our readers opening their hearts. The Home Fund is not a welfare program. The average amount of help this year was $70 per person — with a maximum allowance per year of $350 per household. TURN

5 Ways to take better care of the planet 1

USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, WALK, OR CYCLE

Insulate water heaters

If your water heater is hot to the touch, covering it with an insulation blanket will reduce hot water costs by 9 percent.

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE

Ensuring that your tires are always inflated to the right pressure enables you to reduce gas consumption by at least 3 percent. An extra 74 litres of gas is consumed every year if just one tire is 20 percent under-inflated.

Cycling or walking is good for our planet and our health. Using public transportation

CARPOOL

is another alternative to consider.

Ride sharing — two or three or more people in a car — means one or two fewer vehicles on the road. This can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1.8 tonnes per carpooler per year.

Passings By The Associated Press

THOMPSON H. LANG, 69, who published New Mexico’s largest newspaper for more than four decades, has died. The Albuquerque Journal won a Pulitzer Prize and created an investigative reporting position during Mr. Lang’s tenure. The newspaper announced his death over the holiday weekend, reporting that the former publisher died early Saturday after a long illness. Mr. Lang was remembered as a champion of open government and a vigilant opponent of public corruption. His support helped establish the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government, and he backed many civil lawsuits brought by the newspaper and other news organizations to secure public records from government agencies. Mr. Lang — known by friends and generations of employees simply as Tom — also was a successful developer, philanthropist, musician and pilot. Mr. Lang became publisher of the Journal in 1971 at age 24 after the death of his father, C.T. Lang. He served as president of the Journal Publishing Co. and the Albuquerque Publishing Co., which prints and distributes the newspaper. Mr. Lang’s brother, Bill Lang, succeeded him as publisher in 2012. During Mr. Lang’s tenure, the newspaper received many awards, including a Pulitzer Prize for reporting that linked a rare blood disorder to an over-the-counter dietary supplement. The stories led

to a national recall of the product. The Journal also created an investigative reporting position in the 1970s at Mr. Lang’s direction and from that time has maintained a team of investigative reporters.

Looking Back From the files of The Associated Press

TODAY IS WEDNESDAY, Dec. 30, the 364th day of 2015. There is one day left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: ■ On Dec. 30, 1940, California’s first freeway, the Arroyo Seco Parkway connecting Los Angeles and Pasadena, was officially opened. On this date: ■ In 1853, the United States and Mexico signed a treaty under which the U.S. agreed to buy some 45,000 square miles of land from Mexico for $10 million in a deal known as the Gadsden Purchase. ■ In 1922, Vladimir I. Lenin proclaimed the establishment of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which lasted nearly seven decades before dissolving in December 1991.

■ In 1936, the United Auto Workers union staged its first “sitdown” strike at the General Motors Fisher Body Plant No. 1 in Flint, Mich. The strike lasted until Feb. 11, 1937. ■ In 1954, Olympic gold medal runner Malvin G. Whitfield became the first black recipient of the James E. Sullivan Award for amateur athletes. ■ In 1965, Ferdinand Marcos was inaugurated for his first term as president of the Philippines. ■ In 1989, a Northwest Airlines DC-10, which had been the target of a telephoned threat, flew safely from Paris to Detroit with 22 passengers amid extra-tight security.

■ In 1994, a gunman walked into a pair of suburban Boston abortion clinics and opened fire, killing two employees. John C. Salvi III was later convicted of murder; he died in prison, an apparent suicide. ■ In 1999, former Beatle George Harrison fought off a knifewielding intruder who’d broken into his mansion west of London and stabbed him in the chest. Michael Abram was later acquitted of attempted murder by reason of insanity. ■ In 2006, Iraqis awoke to news that Saddam Hussein had been hanged; victims of his three decades of autocratic rule took to the streets to celebrate.

■ Ten years ago: President George W. Bush, unhappy with Congress for not permanently extending the USA Patriot Act, signed a bill renewing the anti-terrorism law for a few weeks. ■ Five years ago: Former Israel President Moshe Katsav was convicted of raping an employee when he was a Cabinet minister; he is serving a seven-year sentence. ■ One year ago: President Vladimir Putin’s chief political foe, Alexei Navalny, was convicted along with his brother, Oleg, in a fraud case widely seen as a vendetta by the Kremlin, triggering one of Russia’s boldest anti-government demonstrations in years.

ST. LOUIS — A rare winter flood shut down portions of two interstates on Tuesday, threatened hundreds of homes and caused sewage to flow unfiltered into waterways.

Belgium arrests two for suspected plots Military uniforms, propaganda, computers taken as evidence BY JOHN-THOR DAHLBURG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS — Belgian authorities announced Tuesday they have arrested two men and seized military-type uniforms and Islamic State group propaganda in connection with a suspected plot to unleash holiday season attacks against police, soldiers and celebrated locations in Brussels. The attacks under preparation “were the same style as those perpetrated in Paris Nov. 13,” in which 130 people were killed and hundreds injured by suicide bombers and gunmen equipped with Kalashnikov-style assault rifles, according to an internal document from Belgian state security services cited by RTBF French-language television. Those lethal actions were claimed by the Islamic State extremist group.

The two suspects were arrested following searches Sunday and Monday in the Brussels area, the eastern Liege region and Flemish Brabant, the Belgian Federal Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement. It did not disclose their names or further information about them.

No weapons, explosives During the searches, no weapons or explosives were found, but military-type training uniforms, Islamic State group propaganda material and computer equipment were impounded and are being examined, the prosecutor’s office said. It said the case was unrelated to the brazen and bloody extremist actions in Paris a month and a half ago but that the investigation, which is still ongoing, has

revealed a “threat of serious attacks that would target several emblematic places in Brussels and be committed during the endof-year holidays.” The prosecutor’s office gave no more details about the intended targets, but an official close to the investigation told The Associated Press that they included the Belgian capital’s cobblestoned main square, thronged between Christmas and New Year’s with shoppers and strollers, as well as a police headquarters in an adjacent street. “On the Grand Place, there are a lot of people, as well as soldiers and police who are patrolling, as well as a police station nearby,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized by the judge leading the investigation to make public statements. As of Tuesday, police and soldiers in Brussels are being ordered to take special precautions to ensure their own safety, said Benoit Ramacker, spokesman for the Belgian government’s Crisis Center, said.

The West African country is where Ebola emerged two years ago, later spreading to neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone. No new known cases have been reported anywhere in the world in at least 21 days, according to the World Health Organization, and Liberia is on a countdown to become Ebola-free on Jan. 14, which could mark a final end to the epidemic. Sierra Leone, the third West African country to be hammered by the epidemic, was declared free from transmissions on Nov. 7.

Drone strikes credited for Islamic State group deaths BY LOLITA C. BALDOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — U.S. and coalition airstrikes killed 10 Islamic State leaders over the past month, including several linked to the Paris attacks or other plots against the West, a U.S. military official in Iraq said Tuesday. U.S. Army Col. Steve Warren told Pentagon reporters that the militants were killed mainly by drone strikes in Iraq and Syria. He offered few details but said at least two of those killed were linked to the Paris attacks.

Quick Read

According to Warren, one of the insurgents killed was Charaffe al Mouadan, a Syrian-based Islamic State group member who was directly linked to Abdel Hamid Abaaoud, the Paris attack cell leader. Mouadan, who was killed by an airstrike in Syria last Thursday, was actively planning additional attacks against the West, Warren said. Also killed was Abdel Kader Hakim, who was part of the Islamic State group’s effort to plan attacks against Western targets and “had links” to the Paris attack network, Warren said.

Most of the 10 appeared to be mid-level leaders. Warren said that one of the others killed was from Bangladesh but was educated as a computer systems engineer in the United Kingdom. He worked as a computer hacker for the Islamic State group and coordinated antisurveillance technology and weapons development. “We’re striking at the head of this snake,” Warren said. “We haven’t severed the head of the snake yet, and it’s still got fangs. We have to be clear about that. There’s much more fighting to do.”

THE PILOT OF a small plane that smashed into a building in downtown Anchorage, Alaska, on Tuesday was not authorized to fly the aircraft used in volunteer search-and-rescue missions, authorities said. Doug Demarest, 42, of Anchorage, died when the Cessna 172 clipped an office building and slammed into a commercial building, according to the FBI, which is helping investigate the crash. The plane belongs to the Civil Air Patrol, a volunteer civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force which helps with search and rescue, disaster relief and homeland security, according to a statement from the national group.

POLICE SAY A woman is recovering and her boyfriend is in jail in Cumberland, Md., after he assaulted her with a frying pan and a bamboo stick. Fifty-three-year-old Edward McGreevy was charged with assault, reckless endangerment and false imprisonment after Cumberland city police responded to a report of an assault at his home Monday morning. A police news release says officers made contact with McGreevy and noticed drops of blood on his eyeglasses and wrists. Sgt. Scott Saeler said Tuesday that the woman’s injuries are not lifethreatening.

A 19-YEAR-OLD SUSPECTED in the shooting death of a 7-year-old boy near Miami has surrendered to police. Miami-Dade police spokeswoman Jennifer Capote said in a news release that investigators were interviewing Dravein Duke on Tuesday morning. She said charges were pending. Duke was wanted in connection with the Sunday shooting of Amiere Castro, who was visiting with family in southwest Miami-Dade County for the holidays. Police say four men pulled up in a vehicle and shot at the home around 3:30 p.m. Sunday. Driver Maxwel Trewin was arrested Monday and charged with second-degree murder.

FORMER ISRAELI PRIME Minister Ehud Olmert, who claimed to be on the cusp of a historic peace deal with the Palestinians just a few years ago, now is set to become the first Israeli leader to go to prison after the Supreme Court upheld a bribery conviction against him Tuesday. The decision capped a seven-year legal saga that severely undermined the last serious round of peace talks and propelled hard-line Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to power. The five-judge panel dismissed the most serious bribery charge and reduced his original prison sentence from six years down to 18 months.

ferry in works in Seattle PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

NEWS SOURCES

OLYMPIA — Washington State Ferries is adding a fourth modern ferry to replace its aging fleet. State officials announced Monday that Vigor Industrial will begin building the $122 million Olympic Class ferry at its Seattle shipyard next month. It is scheduled to be done by mid-2018. Public comment is being sought on the name of the ferry. The Tokitae, Samish, Chimacum and the fourth as-yet-unnamed ferry replace four of the state’s oldest ferries, all built during the 1950s and 1960s. The new ferries can carry 144 vehicles. Officials say they are more fuel-efficient than the ferries they replace, as well as being quieter and have cleanerburning engines to reduce emissions. They’ll have wider lanes for cars and the latest emergency systems. The first vessel in the class, Tokitae, joined the Mukilteo/Clinton route in June 2014. The second, Samish, was put into service on the Anacortes/San Juans Island route last June. Chimacum, the third ferry, will replace one of the older vessels on the Seattle/Bremerton route in 2017. The fourth ferry has not been assigned a route yet, said Brian Mannion, state ferries spokesman.

Name in March The Washington State Transportation Commission is expected to provide Washington State Ferries with a name for the new ferry by March. In 2014, the commission conducted a name search that resulted in four eligible name proposals. The commission selected the name Chimacum for one of the ferries, leaving three names that are still eligible: Cowlitz, Sammamish and Suquamish. The commission is taking public comment now at transc@wstc.wa.gov. For more information, see http://tinyurl.com/ PDN-ferryname. The commission will discuss the three names at its Jan. 12-13 meeting in Olympia. It will make a final selection March 15-16.

Company spokesman Mark Firmani said the Coast Guard inspections are necessary to eventually resume tours with passengers. One of the company’s “stretch duck” vehicles was involved in the Sept. 24 accident that killed five international students. The company’s operations were suspended days after the crash. State regulators found more than 400 safety violations by Ride the Ducks but recommended that the company be allowed to resume limited operations if it submits a safety plan.

BARGAIN

SPOKANE — The majority leader of the state Senate wants more state funds to improve rural roads leading to Washington State University in Pullman. State Sen. Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville, is asking Gov. Jay Inslee to take $113 million proposed to improve fish passage and use the money instead to improve the highways that are heavily used by WSU students. “If that money goes toward anything in Washington state, it should go toward making it safer for our kids to drive our highways,” Schoesler said in a news release this week.

195 and 26 U.S. Highway 195 and state Highway 26, both predominantly two-lane roads, are the main highways that carry people to and from Pullman. Washington State University has about 20,000 students, and many travel long distances on the rural roads to reach campus. A transportation package passed by the Legislature earlier this year allocates money for passing lanes on both roads. But that work is not scheduled to begin on U.S. 195 until 2017 and on Highway 26 until 2025, Schoesler said. The issue of highway

safety arose after two WSU students died in traffic accidents and another was seriously injured over Thanksgiving break. Dorene Boyle of Yakima, parent of a WSU student, after those wrecks started a petition to have additional lanes constructed on the highways. Her petition had nearly 6,000 signatures as of Monday. Schoesler complained that Inslee has been willing to pump millions of dollars into improving roads leading to the University of Washington in Seattle. “Gov. Inslee should value Cougars as much as Huskies — and the safety of our students more than fish,” Schoesler said.

Fish barriers Schoesler has focused on $113 million that Inslee recently requested in a supplemental budget to remove more barriers to fish passage across the state. “We already allocated $300 million in the current budget for fish culverts,” Schoesler said, adding the funds should be used instead to improve roads. Inslee’s office referred questions to the state Office of Financial Management (OFM). That agency said the state Legislature would have to take action to speed up construction of passing lanes on the two highways. According to the OFM, the $113 million fish passage and barrier removal project would fix 50 percent to 75 percent of fish barriers and open 580 to 870 miles of fish habitat around the state. The governor has proposed more than $1.5 billion for road improvements in Eastern Washington through his Connecting Washington package, said David Schumacher, director of OFM.

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS for Wednesday, December 30, 2015 PAGE

Making something of nothing THE NEW YEAR can bring a special mania to the holiday nightmare of stress, anxiety and unrealistic expectations that we like to call the New Year’s resolution. One year, I made a New Pat Year’s resoluNeal tion to write good. That went over like a skunk in a punch bowl. It was then I learned an eternal truth about making New Year’s resolutions: Lower your expectations. The New Year’s resolution can be a toxic blend of fantasy and illusion that leads to the conclusion we can do nothing to improve our lives in the coming year. Nothing could be further from

the truth. Last year, my New Year’s resolution was to do nothing. Scientists are only just now discovering the health benefits of doing nothing. Studies have shown you can do nothing to lower your heart rate, respiration and blood pressure. Doing nothing indoors is a good way to avoid exposure to the sun’s harmful rays. Doing nothing may be the best course of action we have to combat climate change and decrease the size of your carbon footprint. Doing nothing is an affordable, sustainable, environmentally responsible activity the whole family can enjoy because you are never too broke to do nothing. That’s because our politicians haven’t dreamed up a permit for doing nothing — yet. Don’t give them any ideas. Other New Year’s resolutions

can be worse than nothing. One year, I resolved to do more traveling. I went to the dump. That was a mistake. Going to the dump in the old days was a blast. Imagine tossing tires, engine blocks and household appliances off a cliff and watching them bounce down a mountain of burning garbage and splash in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Now, the dump is a transfer station where you’d think you were dumping sacks of uranium ore for what they charge. I had to lower my expectations again. The next year, I was going to patch all of my leaky rubber boots, but it must have been the glue talking. Every time I patched my boots, I found a new hole. It is a well-known scientific fact that water leaking into a leaky boot seldom leaks out. I had to lower my expecta-

Peninsula Voices Fluoridation survey As former manager of the statistical analysis unit for the California Department of Motor Vehicles, I feel I must comment on the misuse of statistics committed by members of the Port Angeles City Council on the subject of continued fluoridation. In August, the council directed city staff to conduct a survey of water system customers as to whether the city should continue to fluoridate the water system. The survey received 4,204 responses, 2,381 of which were opposed to continuing fluoridation and 1,735 in favor. There seems to be no disagreement on these numbers, and it is easy to see which of the two is larger. In calculating percentage of responses, the city staff correctly used the number

tions even more by helping others. This is often futile. Some people won’t let you help them help themselves, and others are beyond help. Helping others can make you feel used. Learning new things is pointless, since the more you know, the more there is to know. Learning new things can make you feel stupid. Take it from me: Ignorance really is bliss. I was going to organize my tackle box (after I found it), learn to speak Canadian and translate the fishing laws into English. That will never happen. The worst New Year’s resolution I ever made was to catch a 40-pound steelhead. Instead, I caught a 40-inch steelhead. It probably only weighed 25 pounds. Even worse, it was one of those genetically inferior hatch-

ery steelhead that everybody loves to hate so much. How you could figure that a fish that just swam to the Bering Sea and back could be genetically inferior is beyond me. A genetically inferior fish would not have survived the journey, but this misinformation is used as an excuse to stop planting steelhead and salmon. Hatchery runs of salmon and steelhead always fail when you stop planting them. I came to the sullen realization that pretty soon, there would be nothing to fish for. I figured if I was going to catch nothing, I might as well become a fly fisherman.

Sequim schools? Some people are willing to pay a much higher-thanaverage amount for our schools: parents who want good schools for their children, people who want the best education for all the community’s children and people who want good schools so that doctors will want to come to Sequim. Some people have very limited budgets and would like lower taxes. There needs to be a balance. Paying the average amount that other communities pay seems fair to many, but on Feb. 9, the voters are being asked to pay for half of what other communities seem to be paying for their schools. Finding a balance is fair. Please join me in voting yes on Feb. 9. For bond John Bridge, What’s a fair amount for Sequim

of responses as the base (by which the number of votes for and against should each be divided, and which showed 56 percent opposed and 41 percent in favor of continued fluoridation). A few council members did their own calculations using the total number of surveys mailed as the base. Such a methodology is not statistically justified and produces inaccurate and misleading results. Perhaps the council members wanted to muddy the waters to hide the fact that they did not intend to follow the will of the people. I believe a reconsideration of the council vote is needed to restore people’s faith in the integrity of their government. Judith Dolmatoff, Port Angeles

Doubling down on W 2015 WAS, OF course, the year of Donald Trump, whose rise has inspired horror among establishment Republicans and, let’s face it, glee — call it Trumpenfreude — among many Democrats. But Trumpism has in one Paul way worked to the GOP estab- Krugman lishment’s advantage: It has distracted pundits and the press from the hard right turn even conventional Republican candidates have taken, a turn whose radicalism would have seemed implausible not long ago. After all, you might have expected the debacle of George W. Bush’s presidency — a debacle not just for the nation, but for the Republican Party, which saw Democrats both take the White House and achieve some major parts of their agenda — to inspire some reconsideration of W-type policies. What we’ve seen instead is a

doubling down, a determination to take whatever didn’t work from 2001 to 2008 and do it again, in a more extreme form. Start with the example that’s easiest to quantify, tax cuts. Big tax cuts tilted toward the wealthy were the Bush administration’s signature domestic policy. They were sold at the time as fiscally responsible, a matter of giving back part of the budget surplus America was running when W took office. (Alan Greenspan infamously argued that tax cuts were needed to avoid paying off federal debt too fast.) Since then, however, over-thetop warnings about the evils of debt and deficits have become a routine part of Republican rhetoric, and even conservatives occasionally admit that soaring inequality is a problem. Moreover, it’s harder than ever to claim that tax cuts are the key to prosperity. At this point, the private sector has added more than twice as many jobs under President Barack Obama as it did over the corresponding period under W, a period that doesn’t include the Great Recession. You might think, then, that

Bush-style tax cuts would be out of favor. In fact, however, establishment candidates like Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush are proposing much bigger tax cuts than W ever did. And independent analysis of Jeb’s proposal shows that it’s even more tilted toward the wealthy than anything his brother did. What about other economic policies? The Bush administration’s determination to dismantle any restraints on banks — at one staged event, a top official used a chain saw on stacks of regulations — looks remarkably bad in retrospect. But conservatives have bought into the thoroughly debunked narrative that government somehow caused the Great Recession, and all of the Republican candidates have declared their determination to repeal Dodd-Frank, the fairly modest set of regulations imposed after the financial crisis. The only real move away from W-era economic ideology has been on monetary policy, and it has been a move toward rightwing fantasyland. True, Ted Cruz is alone among

the top contenders in calling explicitly for a return to the gold standard — you could say that he wants to Cruzify mankind upon a cross of gold. (Sorry.) But where the Bush administration once endorsed “aggressive monetary policy” to fight recessions, these days hostility toward the Fed’s efforts to help the economy is GOP orthodoxy, even though the right’s warnings about imminent inflation have been wrong again and again. Last but not least, there’s foreign policy. You might have imagined that the story of the Iraq War, where we were not, in fact, welcomed as liberators, where a vast expenditure of blood and treasure left the Middle East less stable than before, would inspire some caution about military force as the policy of first resort. Yet swagger-and-bomb posturing is more or less universal among the leading candidates. And let’s not forget that back when Jeb Bush was considered the front-runner, he assembled a foreign-policy team literally dominated by the architects of debacle in Iraq. The point is that while the mainstream contenders may

have better manners than Trump or the widely loathed Cruz, when you get to substance it becomes clear that all of them are frighteningly radical, and that none of them seem to have learned anything from past disasters. Why does this matter? Right now conventional wisdom, as captured by the bookies and the betting markets, suggests even or better-than-even odds that Trump or Cruz will be the nominee, in which case everyone will be aware of the candidate’s extremism. But there’s still a substantial chance that the outsiders will falter and someone less obviously out there — probably Rubio — will end up on top. And if this happens, it will be important to realize that not being Donald Trump doesn’t make someone a moderate, or even halfway reasonable. The truth is that there are no moderates in the Republican primary, and being reasonable appears to be a disqualifying characteristic for anyone seeking the party’s nod.

Neah Bay’s Jericho McGimpsey drives against Port Townsend’s Jacob Ralls (3) during a Crush in the Slush tournament game in Port Townsend. The Red Devils rallied from early deficits to win twice at the tournament.

BY DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

No one knows for sure when Tiger Woods will compete again, and that includes Woods, who turns 39 years old today. Still, there were indications earlier this month he wasn’t ready to retire. Woods watched from a golf cart at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. He also spent time in the TV booth, as he often does during his tournament. Woods might not always have a lot to offer in an interview, but he’s a natural talking about golf. He is so good in the booth that someone jokingly suggested perhaps he should replace Johnny Miller when he’s done playing. Woods laughed. “Talking about golf comes easy to me. I can do that all day,” he said. “But I don’t want to sit around and watch golf up there. I want to be out here.” The waiting game will continue into 2016, and who knows how much longer? In the meantime, there were plenty of activity and anecdotes that went beyond Jordan Spieth’s two majors, the rise of the next generation and Woods’ future.

Resilient Red Devils Despite early deficits, Neah rallies for wins BY LEE HORTON PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT TOWNSEND – Same old story. The Neah Bay boys basketball team fell far behind in the first quarter, spent the next two quarters getting back in the game and then overtook their opponent in the fourth quarter. It happened Monday against Port Townsend, and then again

Tuesday against Nooksack Valley. Something similar happened against Forks earlier this month. Even the scores are so similar that it’s difficult to keep track of which was which. The Red Devils defeated Port Townsend 53-46 during the first day of the Crush in the Slush tournament at Port Townsend High School, and then they beat Nooksack Valley 56-49 on the second day.

Red Devils effort level better in close loss against Squalicum

So much has been made of the high school class of 2011, and it came into focus during a practice round at the Valspar Championship at Innisbrook. Spieth joined Justin Thomas, Daniel Berger and Ollie Schniederjans for a (small) money game on the back nine. Golf Channel wanted a shot of them all standing next to each other on the 11th hole, and one of them got the idea they should line up in order of their age. They were all 21 at the time. Spieth was in his third year on tour. Thomas and Berger were PGA Tour rookies. Schniederjans was still at Georgia Tech, playing that week on an exemption. They started calling out their birthdays to get in the right order. The youngest of the bunch? Spieth. This was one week after he cleared $9 million in career earnings.

Unlike the PGA Tour’s clandestine policy of discipline, the European Tour will confirm when a player has been fined, even though it might not disclose the amount. That much was evident when word surfaced at Doral that Rory McIlroy had hurled a 3-iron into the lake to the left of the eighth fairway in the Cadillac Championship. McIlroy is a member of both tours. A few British journalists inquired about a fine, leading to a radio exchange between two European Tour officials working the event. “Is throwing a club a fine?” came the query. European Tour chief referee Andy McFee, sitting in a cart near the 11th hole, replied that it depended on the circumstances. A player who tossed his club in the direction of his golf bag, for example, might not be disciplined. Long pause.

“Yeah, same thing. You know we just have a hard time getting going at the start,” Neah Bay coach Stan Claplanhoo said after Tuesday’s win. “Just the fight in them, you know? They warm up. They must just get loose in the second half or something.” Claplanhoo remains a bit perplexed by the Red Devils’ slow starts. Ryan Moss, who led Neah Bay with 25 points Tuesday, said a focus on team play is part of the rallies. “I think it’s usually because we try to feel it out first, and see

if anyone will take over the game, either me, Rweha [Munyagi Jr.] or Kenrick [Doherty Jr.] usually try to,” Moss said. “And if that doesn’t work out, we usually get back to our offense.” The Red Devils trailed 16-4 after one quarter Tuesday and then opened the second with a 7-0 run. They got within four points, 21-17, before Nooksack Valley scored six consecutive points to close out the half and take a 27-17 lead into break. The Pioneers scored the first seven points of the second half to lead 34-17 and completely undo Neah Bay’s rally.

The Red Devils lost by four points, 37-33, so Aguirre’s putback wasn’t a game-winner, but the effort alone marked a complete turnaround less than 20 hours after Neah Bay’s 61-46 loss to Bellingham that left coach Tony McCaulley “disgusted.” Tuesday’s game earned the Red Devils a “pretty dang well.” “So much better today. We hustled. You know, that was a good team and I thought we played pretty dang well,” McCaulley said Tuesday. “I thought we got a couple raw calls down the stretch, but I

was really pleased with the way the team played. “Probably the best basketball game we’ve played all year. I really believe that. We didn’t shoot the ball super-well, but defensively it was definitely the best game we’ve played this year. “The effort was good today. If we would have had that effort yesterday, we would have won. “I was super-happy with the effort today.” That defense held the Storm to one point in the first quarter and four points in the third. The Class 1B Red Devils kept their grip on the lead over 2A Squalicum until Chalae Wolters’ follow bucket gave the Storm a 30-29 lead with 2 minutes, 7 seconds left in the game. Wolters led all scorers with 20 points. TURN

Pick your poison in playoff matchup SINCE A POSTSEASON berth is in hand, the topic of Seahawks seeding and possible wild-card round opponents has heated up as they head into the final week of the regular season at Arizona on Sunday. I’d suggest that it matters less where the Seahawks go, than how the Seahawks go. If running back Marshawn Lynch can return with healed abdominals and beastly spirit, and the team plays with the efficiency it has much of the second half of this season, the Seahawks have the talent to beat anybody in the conference. If they wilt at the line of

scrimmage and Dave trip over Boling themselves as they did Sunday in a loss against the St. Louis Rams, they can lose to any team in the playoffs. The options for the 9-6 Seahawks are Green Bay (10-5) and Minnesota (10-5), division

rivals fighting for the NFC North title Sunday. Or Washington Next Game (8-7), the Sunday NFC East vs. Cardinals champ and at Glendale,Ariz. the No. 4 Time: 1:25 p.m. seed. On TV: Ch. 13 In short, if the Vikings beat Green Bay, the Hawks will go to Minnesota no matter what happens in their game with the Cardinals. It gets trickier if the Packers

win: In that case, a Hawks win sends them to Washington. If the Hawks lose, they go to Green Bay. All options are on the road. But none seems insurmountable. And since the order of the top two seeds — Carolina (14-1) and Arizona (13-2) — remains in doubt, the parameters for the Seahawks if they get past the first round remain speculative, too. But fans like to root for scenarios that they feel will benefit their team. TURN

Boling: Leave Arizona game healthy CONTINUED FROM B1 What, then, should fans want out of the finale at Arizona? While you’re tempted to leap to the answer — a win — I’d argue that the No. 1 thing is to get out of there healthy, win or lose. It’s uncertain if Lynch will be back from his abdominal surgery, and even if he is back, how functional he’ll be. It would be ideal that the team could see him in at least limited action so they have a better idea how much they could rely on him when they start putting together the game plan for first-round playoff game. But if he’s at all in doubt, skipping the Cardinals game would represent understandable caution. The other huge concern has to be quarterback Russell Wilson,

who has taken 24 hits in the past two games, against Cleveland and St. Louis. The Cardinals traditionally pressure Wilson well. Coach Pete Carroll joked that Wilson may be able to avoid the most damaging hits by having a little “ninja” in him. Still, if he gets dinged, chances for a lengthy postseason run take a nose dive. As for first-round opponents, Washington initially seems the softest opener as champs of a feeble division. It could be a tricky matchup for the Hawks, though. Washington is on a threegame winning streak (Bears, Bills, Eagles). Quarterback Kirk Cousins is having a good season, particularly at home, where his 117.0 passer rating is a product of having thrown 16 touchdowns and only two interceptions.

As Carroll alluded to in his Monday press conference, the Hawks have some recent history with Green Bay and Minnesota, having played each in the regular season. Prepping for Washington, then, could be a little more complicated. Playing the Packers in January is like a bad movie the Seahawks have seen before. The Seahawks were there in Week 2 this season and lost 27-17, but that seems like ancient history. In September, the Packers were a presumptive conference powerhouse and the Hawks were without Kam Chancellor and still trying to get a raw offensive line to congeal. Since then, the Packers went on a streak of losing four times in a five-game stretch. And then on Sunday, they absorbed a 38-8

Golf: The Great One awed “In that case,” the other official said, “it appears his bag would have to be at the bottom of the lake.”

Even in Texas Spieth and Justin Leonard were on the putting green at the Memorial when Leonard mentioned he didn’t play the Byron Nelson Championship this year for the first time. This was a big deal. Leonard, among the prominent players to come out of Dallas, has never fared well at his hometown event. Spieth was surprised and asked Leonard if he caught any grief. “No. Because you played,” Leonard told the Masters champion. “So thank you. I owe you dinner.” Spieth smiled, slowly nodded and went back to work on his

putting. Moments later, two representatives from a PGA Tour event approached Spieth to introduce themselves. Spieth stopped what he was doing to shake their hands, and the two men felt comfortable enough to keep talking. A few seconds turned into a few minutes. Leonard, in his 22nd year on tour, saw what was going on and walked over Spieth. “Hey, Jordan, I need to tell you something,” he said, placing his hand on Spieth’s shoulder. The two representatives recognized the private moment, thanked Spieth for his time, said goodbye and walked away. Leonard looked right at Spieth and said in a low voice, “You’re welcome. And now we’re even.”

on a hill looking over the 18th green at Chambers Bay as he watched his future son-in-law, Dustin Johnson, go from a chance to win the U.S. Open to the most crushing loss of his career in a matter of three putts. Johnson headed to Idaho with the Gretzky clan for a getaway. The next morning, Gretzky said he took a group out to play golf. On the second green, they looked behind to see a cart fast approaching. It was Johnson, who wanted to know why no one asked him to join the game. Gretzky told this story in August, and it amazed him how much Johnson was able to move on from setbacks. “I know this much,” Gretzky said. “If I ever lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, I wouldn’t Quick recovery want to skate with a bunch of Wayne Gretzky was standing amateurs the next day.”

beating by Arizona. Still, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers remains Aaron Rodgers, and that makes Green Bay dangerous. That leaves the Vikings, who seem to be the best first-round matchup for the Seahawks. It’s not just that the Seahawks beat them on the road as recently as Dec. 6, it’s that they beat them so thoroughly and convincingly, 38-7. That was a thumping that sticks in the mind of the team that loses. Yes, it would be on the road and perhaps in the teeth of polar vortex weather, but it looks like a pairing that gives the Seahawks the best chance to advance.

MIke Leach and defensive assistants earn extensions BY JACOB THORPE MCCLATCHY NEWS SERVICE

PULLMAN — Washington State has extended the contracts of defensive coordinator Alex Grinch and defensive line coach Joe Salave’a. Grinch’s extension adds three years to his contract, keeping him in Pullman through the 2018 season. Salave’a’s extension is for two years. Furthermore, head coach Mike Leach and athletic director Bill Moos each agreed to exercise the annual rollover clause in Leach’s contract, keeping it at five years. “Mike Leach and his entire staff have done a tremendous job in building our football program, and the goal is to keep moving forward,” said Moos in a press release. “Cougar football has returned to the upper echelon of collegiate football where it most deservedly

belongs. I believe I speak for all Cougar fans when I say we want Mike Leach leading our football program for many years to come.” Grinch’s potential as a defensive coordinator was unknown when the Cougars hired the former secondary coach out of Missouri. But the defense rapidly improved under Grinch, tripling the number of turnovers it forced in 2014 and holding opponents to nearly 11 fewer points per game. Salave’a coached two All-Conference second team defensive linemen in seniors Darryl Paulo and Destiny Vaeao, and has been an important part of Washington State’s recruiting strategy because of his ability to bring talented players from American Samoa and Hawaii to Pullman. Hawaiian defensive end Hercules Mata’afa, for example, was named a freshman All-American by USA Today.

Effort: Outrebounded CONTINUED FROM B1 A few plays earlier, Neah Bay starting guard Gina McCaulley fouled out, and a couple minutes later, Starlena Halttunen joined her. But the Red Devils still hung around until the very end.

No energy in defeat Conversely, in Monday’s loss to the Bellingham Red Raiders, Neah Bay bailed quickly on rebounds and loose balls in the loss to Bellingham, another 2A school. The Red Devils opened the game with an aggressive first quarter of pressing and running. The next three quarters, though? Yikes. Bellingham dominated the second quarter and never really looked back in its 61-46 victory at Port Townsend High School. “Stopped hustling,” Neah Bay coach Tony McCaulley said. “Bottom line is [Bellingham] wanted the loose balls and . . . I don’t know. I don’t know what’s going on with us. We play for a little bit and then we just don’t, so I haven’t figured it out. “I’m a little disgusted with it, to tell you the truth.

“It’s just our energy. If we don’t play with energy, we’re not good; if we play with energy, we’re fairly good.” The Red Devils too often didn’t box out and weren’t chasing down loose balls. After using an 11-2 run in the first quarter to lead 16-9 at the break, Neah Bay was held scoreless for the entire second quarter as the Red Raiders reeled off 22 straight points to build a 31-16 lead early in the third quarter. Later in the period, sophomore guard Jessica Greene hit three 3-pointers from the right elbow in less than 90 seconds to get the Red Devils back in the game. “She got a hot streak and kind of pulled us back into it for a little bit for a little bit, but then we went away from it,” McCaulley said. “We did a little better in the third quarter, picked it up a little bit.” Greene’s third trey made it 37-28, and buckets by Halttunen and Tristin Johnson and two free throws by Holly Greene brought Neah Bay within seven points, 41-34, in the opening minutes of minute of the fourth quarter. But the Red Raiders scored the next eight points

to put the game away. Jessica Greene finished with nine points for the Red Devils, while Johnson scored a team-high 15. Holly Greene led Neah Bay with seven rebounds and five assists. The Red Devils shot 7 of 32 from 3-point range, and 11 of 34 from inside the arc. Paige Jacobsen led Bellingham with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Suzie Bennett pulled down nine rebounds and Benson and Autumn Jacobson had seven apiece for Bellingham, which outrebounded Neah Bay 60-36. Squalicum 37, Neah Bay 33 Squalicum Neah Bay

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles fired Chip Kelly with one game left in his third season, dumping the coach after missing the playoffs in consecutive years. Kelly was released Tuesday night just before the end of a disappointing season that began with Super Bowl expectations. The Eagles are 6-9 after going 10-6 in each of Kelly’s first two seasons. They were eliminated from playoff contention after losing to Washington at home on Saturday night. Eagles CEO Jeffrey Lurie issued a one-sentence

statement to the media, saying he appreciates Kelly’s contributions and wishes him success going forward. Lurie told fans in an email that he decided to make a change after “evaluating the many factors involved in our performance as a team.” The Eagles also fired Ed Marynowitz, who was vice president of player personnel. Kelly made several bold moves that backfired after assuming full control of personnel decisions last offseason. Since March 2014, he released three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson, traded two-time All-Pro running back

private auctions where other dealers buy them and turn around and sell them for thousands more.

2 bankers are charged with creating ATM cards to steal from bank accounts BY STEPHANIE CLIFFORD THE NEW YORK TIMES

The 15 JPMorgan Chase bank accounts had a few things in common: They had high balances, there was little activity on them and they belonged to elderly clients — indeed, at least eight were dead. And all 15 of the accounts got regular cash infusions, thanks to direct deposits

from the Social Security Administration. That caught the eye of two private bankers who worked at a BedfordStuyvesant branch of JPMorgan Chase, Jonathan Francis and Dion Allison, according to an indictment filed this month in State Supreme Court in Brooklyn. Creating cards for automated teller machines and forged documents, the men and their accomplices withdrew about $400,000 from the accounts over two years, according to the indictment. The New York attorney general, Eric T. Schneiderman, warned in June that bank tellers and other employees have easy access

to customer data, and had committed fraud using the data on multiple occasions. In this case, prosecutors for the Brooklyn district attorney’s office charged in an indictment, the bankers could not only gain access to but also issue ATM cards for the 15 accounts, without the account holder’s consent. Allison, 30, and Francis, 27, created bank cards for several of the dormant accounts. (While prosecutors believe most, if not all, of the account holders have died, benefit checks continued to be deposited because of faulty reporting to the Social Security Administration.)

With two friends, Gregory Desrameaux, 24, and Kery Phillips, 40, the men then withdrew most of the stolen money, about $300,000, by using ATMs around New York City, according to the indictment. Some withdrawals were as small as $200; some were up to $2,000, the daily limit for ATM withdrawals for some Chase accounts. In April 2013 alone, members of the group made withdrawals on 26 of 30 days, according to the indictment. The four men listed in the current indictment have been charged with conspiracy, grand larceny and falsifying business records.

WASHINGTON — A stronger job market lifted consumer confidence in December, a business group said Tuesday. The Conference Board’s consumer confidence index rose to 96.5 this month from November’s revised 92.6. Americans were more optimistic about current conditions and about the future. “As 2015 draws to a close, consumers’ assessment of the current state of the economy remains positive, particularly their assessment of the job market,” said Lynn Franco, the group’s director of economic indicators. More than two-thirds of consumers said they expected interest rates to rise over the next year, the highest share since August 2013. On Dec. 16, the Federal Reserve raised the shortterm interest rate it controls for the first time since 2006. Hiring has been healthy in 2015. Employers are adding an average of 210,000 jobs a month through November. Unemployment has stayed at a seven-year low of 5 percent for two straight months. Confidence had dipped unexpectedly in November and this month remained below readings around 100 from August through October. “U.S. consumers regained a bit of their swagger in December,” Jennifer Lee, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, wrote in a research report. She noted that confidence rebounded the most among young households (those headed by someone younger than 35), potentially a sign that more first-time homebuyers are

ready to enter the housing market. Another gauge of Americans’ mood — the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index — rose this month to the highest level since July. The Michigan index rose to 92.6 in December from 91.3 last month. It has averaged 92.9 in 2015, the highest annual average in 11 years. The Michigan survey finds that Americans are pleased with low inflation, including low gasoline prices, which boosts their purchasing power. The average U.S. gasoline price is staying near $2 a gallon, lowest holiday season price since 2009, according to AAA.

Diana came to Crestwood post surgically for removal of a left frontal lobe brain tumor. She was experiencing progressive weakness and confusion, along with word finding difficulties when she was hospitalized. She arrived with weakness specifically on the side of her body; she was unable to write or tie her shoes as she once had. Within days, Diane was able to maneuver in her wheel chair around the facility, always smiling and willing to work with her occupational, speech and physical therapists. She eventually graduated to using a rolling walker, improvising her balance and endurance in standing to complete valued tasks such as jamming with her husband, Ron, as he would frequently bring in their music book and play Bluegrass tunes. They have spent many years together attending Bluegrass festivals and it was evident that as Diane progressed in her therapy, she was able to easier engage in playing her baritone ukulele or guitar as Ron strummed his mandolin by her side, both singing to their hearts content, bringing smiles and tapping toes to those who stopped to listen. Within a few weeks, Diane progressed to walking without an assistive device and was found many times in occupational therapy doing the “electric slide,” confidently completing the grapevine with ease. By the end of her time at Crestwood, she easily was able to care for herself, completing her basic routine with independence, accessing medical appointments with her husband and socializing within the facility with ease. We wish her the best of luck and will miss her!!

DEAR ABBY: You printed a letter from a woman (Nov. 25) whose husband told her while she was pregnant that, if it came to a choice, he would choose the life of the baby over hers. Your response contained a piece of misinformation I would appreciate you correcting for your readers. You asserted that it is Catholic policy to save the life of the baby over the mother in obstetrical emergencies. Abby, that is one of the oldest but most persistent pieces of misinformation out there. This inaccurate statement has been replayed even in movies in spite of repeated denials by Catholic hospitals and the professionals who render care in them. The fact is: Catholic policy is abundantly clear on the dignity of both mother and baby, and makes no priority of one over the other. Catholic hospitals operate with the same standards of safety in maternity care and are inspected by the same organizations that inspect non-Catholic maternity programs such as the Joint Commission and the licensing agency of each state. Catholic hospitals must adhere to the same robust standards as every other maternity service in the country. I would appreciate it if you could assure your readers that, while this makes for good movies and novels, it is not the Catholic position. The dignity of the life of both mother and baby are critically important to all those serving in Catholic health care. Thank you for your help with this. Sr. Carol Keehan, President and Chief Executive Officer, Catholic Health Association

Dear Abby: In the days before blood banks and antibiotics, very few women survived C-sections. Obstetrical complications (now solved by surgical delivery) created a dilemma: Either allow a dysfunctional labor to continue until the child died and could be forcibly dragged or dissected through the birth canal, or perform the surgery that would cause the mother’s death. About the only time such an issue could arise in contemporary America would be in the rare case of a pregnant woman who is discovered to have an aggressive cancer, and has to decide whether to start chemo or radiation therapy that could abort or harm the fetus, or delay until after delivery, which could allow the tumor to grow or metastasize. Robin T., Richmond, Calif.

Dear Sister Carol: Since printing that letter, I have received a crash course in ethics at Catholic hospitals. I apologize to you and to my Catholic readers for saying what

Briefly . . . Program set for cancer survivors PORT ANGELES — Exercise and Thrive, a free 12-week strength and wellness program for cancer survivors, starts at the YMCA, 302 S. Francis St., at 11:30 a.m. Monday, Jan. 11. The program will run

Mondays and Wednesdays and is available to all adult cancer survivors, regardless of when their cancer occurred. The ultimate goal of the program is to help survivors develop their own physical fitness regimen that they can continue on their own after the program ends. Participants must be 21 or older, 90 days out of treatment and have medical clearance to participate.

Phone 360-417-7116 to speak with Karen Rushby, a physical therapist at Olympic Medical Center who specializes in cancer rehabilitation, for a consultation and to receive a medical screening/permission form. For more information about Exercise and Thrive, contact Mikki Reidel, health and well-being coordinator at the YMCA, at 360-452-9244 or mikki reidelymca@gmail.com.
