PT boat lift hangs on fundraising efforts Owner needs $15,000 to lift boat up and out BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT TOWNSEND — The owner of a schooner that was dashed onto the Boat Haven breakwater by a storm one week ago hoped it would be lifted out
of the water Thursday evening, but he wasn’t betting on it. “This situation has changed three or four times every day all week,” said Jim Kruse, an Orcas Island resident who had anchored the vessel outside the breakwater last week. On Thursday, Kruse and his fiancee, Libby Garcia, were in the Boat Haven observing the rescue and raising the $15,000 deposit required by the Port of Port Townsend to remove the boat from the water and store it
in the Boat Haven until it can be repaired. “I don’t want to talk about what’s happening now because it won’t be true by the time you get it into print,” he said. The Phoenix, a 60-foot, 51-ton schooner, was anchored outside the breakwater when heavy winds and high tides pushed the boat onto the rock wall last Friday afternoon, according to Capt. Roger Slade of Vessel Assist in Port Hadlock. TURN

Ice on Social Security has varied results BY ARWYN RICE AND CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — The news that Social Security payments will be frozen next year without cost-of-living adjustments was a blow to some North Olympic Peninsula seniors, while others shrugged it off. One man told Robert Gray, Port Townsend city councilman, that because of increases in the cost of living, he will have to sell his house and move elsewhere, Gray said. Barry Adams, 49, a disabled Army and Marine Corps veteran who retired after 22 years in 2004 and who now serves as commander of VFW Post 4760 of Sequim, said that for the most part, the lack of a Social Security cost-of-living increase “is not a
major event.” “The reality is, Social Security doesn’t pay a lot anyway, so $20 or $30 here or there isn’t going to affect us,” Adams said. The freeze in Social Security payments is based on a federal government measure of inflation that was released Thursday. It was heavily affected by a 90-cent drop in gasoline prices over the past year. Thursday’s announcement frustrated seniors who said that while inflation may have stalled in terms of a nationwide average, the Peninsula is experiencing considerable inflation. “They need to look at each area,” said Laura Olson, 67, of Port Angeles as she played mahjong at the Port Angeles Senior & Community Center on Thursday.

Passings By The Associated Press
SAM ADAMS, 67, a former New England Patriots offensive lineman, has died in Houston. Mr. Adams became ill at his Houston home last Saturday and died at a hospital, Mr. Adams Rodney Coleman of Coleman’s Mortuary in Jasper, Texas, said Wednesday. No cause of death was released. Mr. Adams, who was a Jasper native, played for Prairie View A&M before joining the Patriots in 1972. His son, also named Sam Adams, played for Texas A&M. He joined the Seattle Seahawks in 1994 and his NFL career through 2007 included stops in Baltimore; Oakland, Calif.; Buffalo, N.Y.; Cincinnati; and Denver. The elder Adams spent most of his NFL career with New England, finishing with New Orleans in 1981. “This is really sad news for Patriots fans who enjoyed watching Sam Adams play and the many Patriots teammates who played with him throughout the 1970s,” Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft said, before referring to one of the nation’s founding fathers, Bostonborn Samuel Adams. “Not only was he a stalwart in the trenches for nearly a decade, but I can’t think of a more appropriately named player to represent the Patriots.” Mr. Adams started 90 of the 119 games he played in for the Patriots during his nine seasons there.
In 1978, he was part of a line that paved the way as the Patriots won the AFC East and set an NFL record by rushing for 3,165 yards. Sam Cunningham led the team that year with 768 yards rushing. The funeral is Saturday at Church of Jesus Christ House of Prayer in Jasper, 120 miles northeast of Houston.
________ LARRY ROSEN, 75, the music producer and digital-audio entrepreneur who was best known as a founder of the pop-jazz record label GRP, died Friday at his home in Park Ridge, N.J. The cause was brain cancer, said his publicist, Sheryl Feuerstein. Mr. Mr. Rosen Rosen and the keyboardist Dave Grusin started the GRP label (the initials stood for Grusin-Rosen Productions) in 1978, under the aegis of Arista Records. Almost from the start, much of the label’s music dovetailed with the successful radio format known as contemporary jazz — or, popularly, smooth jazz, although Mr. Rosen did not care for that term. A typical GRP release might have the funk and optimism of Brazilian pop, as well as jazz harmonies and a generally chilled-out disposition; it proposed a lush, sweet listening experience. Born in the Bronx on March 25, 1940, Mr. Rosen began his music career as a drummer. He attended the Man-
hattan School of Music and played with the Newport Youth Band, an incubator of young jazz talent founded by the trombonist Marshall Brown. He joined the singer Andy Williams’ touring ensemble in 1960 and remained with it until 1966; it was with that group that he met Mr. Grusin, who was playing piano. He later built a home studio and wrote commercial jingles in New York before beginning his record-producing career on the singer Jon Lucien’s 1973 album “Rashida.”

1940 (75 years ago) For the second successive year, the Port of Port Angeles is on the way to a record in the volume of logs received from Olympic Peninsula truck loggers and boomed at the port grounds, Port Manager Henry W. Davies said today. Up to Oct. 1 this year, the port handled 31,5334,350 board feet of logs. Since the first of the month, the flow has continued to be heavy, and Davies predicted the previous year’s record of 38,383,230 feet will soon be passed. This contrasts markedly with the 1938 total of only 19,717,000 feet.

Almost 10,000 troops to stay in Afghanistan President expects to reduce that number to 5,500 in 2017 BY LOLITA C. BALDOR AND JULIE PACE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama announced plans Thursday to keep nearly 10,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan through most of next year and 5,500 when he leaves office in 2017, casting aside his promise to end the war on his watch and instead ensuring he hands off the conflict to a successor. Obama called the new war plan a “modest but meaningful” extension of the U.S. military mission in Afghanistan, which he originally planned to end next year. He acknowledged America’s weariness of the lengthy conflict but said he was “firmly convinced we should make this extra effort.” Military leaders have argued
for months that the Afghans needed additional assistance and support from the U.S. to beat back a resurgent Taliban and hold onto gains made over the past 14 years of American bloodshed and billions of dollars in aid. In his remarks from the White House on Thursday, Obama said that while Afghan forces have made progress, the security situation in the country remains fragile.
Lengthy deliberations After lengthy internal deliberations, Obama settled on a plan to maintain the current force of 9,800 troops in Afghanistan through most of next year, then draw down to 5,500 troops in 2017, at a pace still to be determined after consultation with commanders.
It will be up to Obama’s successor — the third U.S. commander-in-chief to oversee the war — to decide how to proceed from there. “I suspect that we will continue to evaluate this going forward, as will the next president,” Obama said, standing alongside Vice President Joe Biden, Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford. According to a defense official, the president approved the highest number of troops requested by commanders, with the greatest amount of flexibility. Key to the commanders’ requests was a continuation of the current counterterrorism mission, which Obama said would indeed be part of the effort after 2016. The second part of the U.S. mission is training and assisting Afghan security forces, which are now in charge of combat operations across the country. The American forces will be based in Kabul and at Bagram Air Field, as well as bases in Jalalabad and

The Palestinian president ignited an uproar in Israel after falsely claiming that Israel had “executed” a 13-year-old Palestinian Netanyahu boy who is recovering in an Israeli hospital, drawing new accusations that he is inciting violence at a time of heightened tensions. Netanyahu told reporters he has been speaking to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and other leaders about meeting with Abbas. “I’d be perfectly open to it now,” he said.

Pistorius to be released
JOHANNESBURG — Oscar Pistorius, the double-amputee Olympic runner who shot his girlfriend to death on Valentine’s Day 2013, can leave prison and move to house arrest next week, South Africa’s Department of Corrections said Thursday. A parole board at the prison where Pistorius has served nearly a year of his five-year sentence for manslaughter made the decision. It came after an initial ruling to release the athlete in August was canceled at the last minute after intervention by the justice minister.

Two Libyans identified as Scotland bomb suspects BY JILL LAWLESS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — A quarter century after one of the worst terror attacks in British history, prosecutors said they have identified two new Libyan suspects in the bombing of a Pan Am jet over Lockerbie, Scotland, and want U.S. and Scottish investigators to interview them in Tripoli. Given Libya’s instability, that may be a remote prospect. Scotland’s Crown Office said Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland and U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch had agreed “that there is a proper basis in law in Scotland

and the United States to entitle Scottish and U.S. investigators to treat two Libyans as suspects in the continuing investigation into the bombing” of Pan Am flight 103. It said Scotland and the U.S. were asking Libyan authorities to help Scottish detectives and FBI officers interview the suspects in Tripoli.
Suspected of involvement The office said the Libyans are suspected of involvement with Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, the only person convicted in the attack. A bomb shattered the New
York-bound Boeing 747 as it flew over Scotland on Dec. 21, 1988, killing all 259 people aboard the plane and 11 on the ground. Many of the victims were American college students flying home for Christmas. The complex and unfinished Lockerbie investigation is tied up with Libya’s relationship with the West. In 1988, dictator Moammar Gadhafi’s Libya was a pariah state accused by Western governments of sponsoring terrorism. In 1999, Gadhafi handed over al-Megrahi and a second suspect to Scottish authorities after years of punishing U.N. sanctions.

ALASKA GAME OFFICIALS have legalized an unusual new hunt that will allow residents to harvest musk oxen stranded on ice floes. Starting Thursday, Alaska residents can harvest musk oxen that wander onto Bering Sea ice and become stranded when floes break and drift off. State assistant area biologist Patrick Jones said hunters spot musk oxen on ice floes every few years. He said they are terrible swimmers and doomed to starve or drown. Musk oxen on ice floes are most often spotted by hunters in boats. Ice covers much of the Bering Sea in winter.

The activists said they were upset at their lack of input into the appointment, six months after the death of Freddie Gray, a black man who sustained mortal injuries while being transported in the back of a police van. About 4 a.m. Thursday, the demonstration ended with at least 12 activists in handcuffs and loaded into vehicles.
A WOMAN CHARGED with beating her teenage son to death inside a New Hartford, N.Y., church felt helpless to stop an intervention that spiraled into violent punishment by others, her lawyer said Thursday. Deborah Leonard stands charged with manslaughter in the death of her 19-year-old son, Lucas, but her lawyer, Devin Garramone, said he believed other people caused the fatal injuries. A second son was also beaten but survived. Leonard and her husband, Bruce, have pleaded not guilty to manslaughter. Four other people have pleaded not guilty to assault.
SYRIAN TROOPS AND their allies launched an offensive in the central province of Homs on Thursday and Russia’s government said its warplanes carried out a rare airstrike near Damascus targeting an Islamic State group position southeast of the capital. The offensive came as a senior Iranian official told reporters in Damascus that Tehran would consider sending troops to Syria only upon a request from that government. Alaeddin Boroujerdi, the head of an influential parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy, reiterated Iran’s full support for the Syrian government.

Economy, ecology meld in timber talk Agriculture secretary, lawmaker speak with both sides’ players BY KYLE MITTAN THE DAILY WORLD
ABERDEEN — Economy and ecology — topics that are often at odds with one another — were the focus of a visit by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer in Aberdeen intended to bring major players from both sides to the same table. T h e Wednesday meeting at S i e r r a Pacific Industries came after a tour of the facility and was Kilmer followed by a news conference where Kilmer discussed the importance of collaboration among players from both timber harvesting industries and forest conservation advocates. The gathering centered on Kilmer’s Olympic Peninsula Collaborative, an initiative he announced in late 2013 and officially launched in May 2015. The collaborative aims to organize representatives from both groups in an effort to see past their competing interests and work together on making the area’s forests sustainable. “The fact is, driving rural economic development matters,” said Kilmer, who represents the 6th Congressional District, which includes Clallam, Jefferson and Grays Harbor counties. “That’s why we’ve put together this collaborative in the first place, to try to embrace both the value of our forests for job creation, but also in terms of maintaining that forest health.”
Cooperation important
collaborative’s goals. “In order for us to change the dynamic and be more supportive of this effort, we need to have a budget fix focused on the forest budget,” he said. “Congressman Kilmer understands this, he knows the importance of it and he, I think, has started something pretty significant here with this collaborative effort.” Vilsack said 23 collaborative landscape initiatives exist nationwide but that more needs to be done. Accompanying Kilmer and Vilsack were people from throughout the Peninsula and from a variety of groups and companies, including Sierra Pacific President George Emmerson; Connie Gallant of Quilcene, president of the Olympic Forest Coalition; and Matt Comisky, state manager of the American Forest Resource Council.
Work together “It’s a good opportunity to work together, build trust, and out of that should hopefully come a lot of good benefits from the community at large, not only from an economic standpoint with providing jobs for the families that live in these communities but on into the future,” Comisky said. “We’re not just talking about today’s generation. A lot of the industry folks who are engaged here, they want to be around another 50, 100 years, so we need to build that sustainability.” Vilsack said the collaboration serves as a good model for how industries that seem to compete could help further one another’s growth. “I think this is an example of what needs to be done more of in this country,” he said. “You’ve got competing interests that have in the past … basically stymied each other. They have gone into courtrooms and they have fought out lengthy court battles, despite the fact that they have a shared interest and shared value, which is to have a sustainable forest.”
Wash. part of probe of Volkswagen software THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson has confirmed that Washington state is part of a multistate investigation into Volkswagen’s alleged use of emissions test-cheating software in some of their engines. In a written statement issued Thursday, Ferguson said that while his office
does not normally address ongoing investigations, he plans to thoroughly investigate the issue and protect the economic and environmental interests of Washington state consumers. Volkswagen faces possible fines after U.S. authorities discovered it had equipped 482,000 cars with software that disabled emissions controls except when the cars were being tested.

COLA: Will affect 70M people CONTINUED FROM A1 Various areas of the country have different levels of inflation, she said. Some are becoming more expensive and some less, and it should be adjusted by the regional economy, she added. “I’m already underinsured to start out. My first priority is food and housing, and I need insurance for my vehicle,” she said. The annual cost-of-living adjustment, known as COLA, is based on the federal Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, referred to as CPI-W, which is a Bureau of Labor Statistics measure of consumer prices.
National effects The lack of a COLA is expected to affect more than 70 million people nationwide — retirees, disabled workers, spouses and children — who receive an average of $1,224 each month in benefits. It also will trigger an increase in Medicare deductibles and premiums for about 30 percent of Medicare beneficiaries, primarily higher-income recipients, new recipients and those who do not pay their premiums from their Social Security checks. One Port Angeles retiree said Congress seemed concerned about the lowestincome workers but not retirees. “How can they want to raise the minimum wage to $15 when there is not enough to cover insurance under Medicare?” asked Dot Halbach, 62. There should have been enough money in the fund for annual increases to keep pace with the medical insurance costs, but Social Security funds have been diverted by Congress to other uses, Halbach said. Judy Gleaton, 72, of Port Angeles said rising medical costs, insurance premiums and co-pays are a major part of the problem. “Everything is going up except gas,” she said. “Paying more for insurance means there is going to be less money for food.”
In Port Townsend, Gray said he has heard from several residents who are worried. The city is doing what it can by not taking an annual 1 percent increase in property taxes that it is allowed by law, he said. Gray said several programs offer discounts to seniors on utilities and lowinterest loans for property tax payments. Not all retirees on the Peninsula agree with those who are worried.
Been fair “I feel [past COLAs have been] very fair, and I think it will continue to be fair,” said Evelyn Wolf, 80, of Sequim. Wolf said she and her husband have scrimped and saved over their lifetimes and use Social Security payments to supplement that income to improve their standard of living. “We could not live off of Social Security alone,” she said. “No one should. “Social Security was put in place to save people, and it did and it does,” she added. “It was not supposed to ever be used for anything but the elderly, and it has been borrowed, used and all kinds of other things.” Wolf said having a Social Security income adds to the little things she and her husband can do during retirement. “We have seven children, we have 17 grandchildren and we’ve just had a greatgrandchild, so we can’t send birthday presents anymore,” she said. “But we do buy birthday cards, and it is just those type of things we would not be able to do if we did not have our 401K, and cer-
tainly if we did not have Social Security.” Adams said Social Security recipients received a 1.7 percent COLA in January 2015. “If we were getting, like, 25 percent a year and then it was cut off, that is an issue. But getting 1 [percent] or 2 percent? No,” he said. “It is not like there is a sudden change of direction.” Congress enacted automatic COLA increases for Social Security payments in 1975 during a time of high inflation and pressure to regularly raise benefits. If prices measured during July, August and September increase from one year to the next, benefits increase, and if prices remain flat or drop, benefits are frozen. Since 1975, increases have averaged about 4 percent per year, but the
increases have slowed in the past decade. According to the CPI-W, released Thursday, the index remained flat between 2014 and 2015, influenced by a 30 percent reduction in gasoline prices, a 5.9 percent drop in airline prices and a 1.3 percent drop in clothing prices. They were offset by a 2.4 percent increase in housing prices, a 3.2 percent increase in housing costs and 1.6 percent increase in food prices.

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!!

Patient gets attacked at state hospital BY MARTHA BELLISLE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — A patient attacked another patient at the state’s largest psychiatric hospital this week as federal regulators consider whether to cut millions of dollars to the facility over concerns about safety. Doctors at Western State Hospital say the number of violent episodes at the 800-bed facility is rising because staffing levels are inadequate, making the facility increasingly dangerous for both patients and workers. The state agency in charge of mental health services says it has asked lawmakers for more money to hire the workers needed to operate safely.
Major shift needed Dr. Joseph Wainer, a psychiatrist with the hospital for 10 years, said the facility has never been so dangerous and it will take a major shift to make it safe again. “The medical staff had recommended a freezing of admissions until they get it under control, but we were told we should think about finding another job,” Wainer told The Associated Press on Thursday. The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services sent a 90-day termination notice to the hospital Sept. 21 after investigators said staff members mishandled a previous patient-on-patient assault. It was the hospital’s third warning that nearly $16 million in annual funding could be cut. Following the latest notice, another attack happened Monday, which
police characterized as an “assault with a deadly weapon.” “One patient assaulted another patient for no reason,” Lakewood police Lt. Chris Lawler said Thursday. “The victim had some non-life-threatening injuries — no broken bones — that required medical attention. No one was taken into custody.” The injured patient was sent back to the hospital later that evening, said state officials, who are investigating the attack. The federal agency is aware of the latest assault, and if the hospital doesn’t meet its safety standards by December, the facility will lose funding, spokeswoman Stephanie Magill said. Funding cuts have happened at other hospitals that don’t meet agency standards, “but more often than not, the facility comes back into compliance,” she said in an email. “Our number one priority is to ensure the health and safety of our Medicare beneficiaries,” Magill said. The state Department of Social and Health Services has told the federal government that it would implement changes to ensure safety, including requiring nurses to assess patients after a violent outburst to determine if any threat remains. Staffers also must document and report any attacks so workers coming in later can keep watch and create a safety boundary around seclusion-room doors to protect sedated or restrained patients. The state expects to have the changes in place by Nov. 15. Federal officials are reviewing the plan.

Hospice plans yearly memorial service in PT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT TOWNSEND — Hospice of Jefferson Healthcare will host its annual community memorial service at 5 p.m. next Thursday, Oct. 22. The free, nondenominational service will be at Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 2333 San Juan Ave. Refreshments and sharing are planned after the service. Anyone in East Jefferson County who has experienced the death of a loved one in the past year is invited to join with friends and family. The service of remembrance emphasizes community and the celebration of life, said Kate Burke, marketing manager for Jefferson Healthcare hospital. It is held every autumn before the holiday season because the holidays are often difficult and lonely, especially during the first year after the death, she said.
The service includes music, candle lighting, a program of responsive readings, reflections and sharing. Hospice spiritual care providers Bernie WardCrixell and Beth Orling will officiate. Musical interludes will be provided by harpist Shannon Ryan as well as members of the Threshold Choir.
Memorial quilt During the ceremony, a memorial quilt made by the Cabin Fever Quilters will be displayed, and family members and friends are encouraged to add a photo or memento to honor their loved one. The memorial service is made possible by the Hospice Foundation of Jefferson Healthcare, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

KOMO-TV reports that the Department of Planning and Development has asked Canadian developer Omni to add fencing and security around the Times building, but they have not complied. Last month, Seattle police said as many as a few hundred squatters were living inside the building. Now many have returned despite new plywood boards on the windows. Omni did not respond to a request for comment. According to the Department of Planning and Development, there are 200 vacant buildings not

Shooter bail SEATTLE — Bail has been set at $2 million for a Seattle man in the fatal shooting Sunday of another man after the two argued in the Rainier Valley area of the city. The Seattle Times reports a 34-year-old man was arrested Tuesday night after witnesses identified him as the shooter. He remains in the King County Jail on charges of unlawfully possessing a firearm and investigation of a homicide. The King County Medical Examiner’s Office says 20-year-old Abubakar Abdi died of a gunshot wound to the torso. The Associated Press

SEATTLE — An ordinance proposed in Seattle aims to stop landlords from raising rents for inadequate housing units. The Seattle Times reports city councilmembers Nick Licata and Kshama Sawant introduced the idea Wednesday at a news conference. They want to make it illegal to increase rent on homes that are unfit for human habitation. Mayor Ed Murray said the practice of raising rents on substandard units is something that must be addressed. He has directed staff to help refine the ordinance, which would be triggered by tenant complaints. Under the proposal, a landlord could still adjust rent for market conditions but would have to make a unit habitable before

NEW CITY COUNCIL NEEDED NOW! SARDINE CAN PLAN irst, I seek political office as an alternative to the disrespect of citizens F“Comprehensive by Sequim City Officials, as a result of their drive to force a badly flawed Plan” on Sequim residents, and then pretending that residents themselves want it. Officials have wasted precious taxpayer money to develop and pursue plans, make signs, publish and distribute literature around town that belittles the attractive and popular homes of a great many Sequim residents, describing them as “unfriendly” and implying that unfriendly people own and live in them. Not enough to insult and label these homes as undesirable, Sequim political chieftains bash cul-de-sacs, calling them “not small town friendly.” Their attacks are false and unethical. The heavy-handed Council makes it clear that the homes every Realtor says so many of their customers want should be replaced by what the Council wants. One of their goals is future development of steadily more and more mass housing, that guarantees mass congestion and steadily increasing crime. Instead of the attractive single family homes with privacy that people prefer to live in, City Officials push a future of outdated and unpopular house designs and crowded complexes that are cramped and crammed together like sardines in a can.

FORKS — A lost hiker was found cold but safe after she and her husband set out to pick mushrooms in a wooded area about 10 miles north of Forks, the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office reported. The hiker was found standing in shallow water of the Sol Duc River after an hour’s search Monday

RE-ELECT COUNTY COMMISSIONER
An effective, proven leader. Always putting you first!
COPS AND ROBBERS There are crimes committed in every neighborhood, including yours. Criminals who live within a block of my home have committed multiple acts of vandalism. Two neighbors also had their garages broken into, stolen credit cards scattered on the lawn, and a third had the door of his car kicked in and a wallet ripped off. Enough of this. As a graduate in Security taught by a retired New York Police Officer and a Chief of Police, I will work to reduce crime and improve security and peace of mind. Criminals are getting increasingly violent, and we can help the police with their jobs by approving a program of hazard and performance bonus pay for them. I will also work to establish a reward money fund for every neighborhood to motivate people, especially young people, to report crimes and be more observant. Third, no police department can provide all our security needs, so people who want greater safety should help themselves as well. To do this, if elected I will strive to hire a Security Specialist who will regularly work with Sequim residents to alert them to the crime picture in their neighborhoods and then suggest solutions for better protection. This expert will not be a salesman, but rather an Adviser who is knowledgeable about business and residential alarm systems, lighting, locks, video cameras, and all other security products and services. Using the principles of Consumer Reports, he or she will make recommendations as to which of these things are most and least affordable, reliable, and appropriate for the risks you and your neighbors face. Additionally, I will work to provide cost effective private security patrols to improve surveillance in neighborhoods at night and in higher-crime areas. FINANCIAL MISMANAGEMENT Third, I am running for office to straighten out the twisted financial priories of City Hall. They spent millions and millions of your dollars and mine on a city hall building that by their very own rating system is unfriendly and does not reflect Sequim’s small town character and architecture. It is a cold misfit, painted in dated 1970’s color and overbuilt near an often congested intersection, with a shortage of parking thrown in for worse measure. Three blocks away from this shrine to politicians’ pride, we have no sidewalks, abandoned cars, too many run down houses, and dark streets and alleys that beg for more crime. I’ll work to rearrange financial priorities at City Hall so they are focused on serving residents instead of serving politicians. FUDD DESERVES A MEDAL Fudd’s delicious Fish and Chips had a Grand Opening on Washington Street recently. The proprietor surely is a brave man, for his restaurant opened right on the heels of another business that failed in the same spot. Small business owners often risk it all, putting up their savings and retirement money, sometimes mortgaging their homes, to bring their dreams and a unique diversity of small businesses products and services to Sequim and Clallam County. It says plenty about City Hall’s attitude toward business, however, that at the grand opening ceremony of Fudd’s not a single City politician was in attendance. Surely just one of them could have walked one block to attend. So many businesses have died in Sequim over the years—including banks, office and auto supply retailers, restaurants, art and book sellers—that some old timers say starting an enterprise here is capital punishment and parts of the small business area, especially east on Washington, look like store-front death row, with the odds of survival like trying to win a fortune from a slot machine. As a college major in Business and experienced Business Manager, if elected I will attend every grand opening—and other special events besides—and work to get every available tool of success that government has to offer into the hands of small business. JOBS, NOT SNOBS Along with calling half the houses in town unfriendly, City Council elitists say the “desirable” type of business for Sequim is “high tech.” Look, we need living wage jobs, and it shouldn’t require a PhD in computer science to get one around here. Too many of our jobs don’t pay the bills. Too many jobs are part time and low wage. Most of our factories, with their better skills and jobs, that made things we actually need and use, were closed and shipped overseas by greedy industrialists who don’t give a damn about America. I don’t care if a business is high tech or makes shoe laces, to me they’re all equally desirable and welcome in Sequim and Clallam County as long as they pay a living wage and are good neighbors. If elected, I’ll roll out a red carpet and go after all of them. Beginning in late 2008, working people by the truckload, especially in the vital building trades in Sequim and Clallam County, went bankrupt and lost everything, their last dollar wiped out in the disastrous Great Recession that for too many residents still painfully hangs on. Stimulating the economy to recover, to use the tools of government to restore a troubled economy, was and is not just the obligation of the National Government in Washington DC or of the Federal Reserve, it is also the job of local governments to do what they can. In that respect, Sequim government failed. City Officials should have tried to stimulate the local economy by all measures, among them by reducing or placing a moratorium on building, development, business and trades fees and taxes of every sort, in a full-blown drive to keep people working in the private sector, and by that effort lessen or prevent the destruction of businesses and livelihoods. If elected, I will work to financially stimulate employment whenever needed, beginning right now by reducing the rip-off building fees and taxes of around $27,000.00 for each and every home built, plus sales taxes piled on top of it, that governments use to attack affordable housing and discourage employment in Sequim. Social Security isn’t enough to get by on, and the pensions are gone except for the lucky public sector. It is best if workers can save for the future, but they can’t put money away when barely living paycheck to paycheck. People need to own a home, a home that in the end that also serves as a money storehouse for the senior years, which come all too soon. Affordable housing, more and better jobs, freedom to choose, and more and better choices, requires a new City Council.

PORT TOWNSEND — A free program, “Caring for Our Aging Population,” is planned during an American Association of University Women meeting at the Elks Lodge from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Saturday. The program at the lodge at 555 Otto St. will be open to the public. It will feature a panel discussion on the decisions facing individuals and their families as they experience changes in health and/or abilities. The panelists will review the relative costs for various residential options for seniors, including remaining at home, and provide their perspectives on how to plan for potentially difficult life changes and care decisions. Led by moderator Eileen Baratuci, the five panel members are health care professionals and consultants who work with the elder population and are familiar with local resources and available programs. The panelists are Sandy
Boughner, owner of Home Instead Senior Care; Celia Fry, Certified Aging in Place Specialist and partner in “Age at Home”; Heather Jeffers, administrator of Lifecare of Port Townsend; Nancy Krieg, community relations manager at Victoria Place in Port Townsend; and Joni Williams, geriatric case manager for seniors
If elected, I will work to get the City out of the business of telling you what to live in, by getting rid of the government-meddling, flawed and disrespectful Comprehensive Plan, instead to be replaced by the Market, the Market of people voting for what’s best by putting their hard earned money down and choosing for themselves the kind of homes they want to live in. A free Market leads to diversity of housing. For those few who want it, there should be more of the Council’s so-called friendly houses, with dark and often cluttered alleys behind them and kids out front dodging the cars on increasingly busy through-streets; or, another City Council favorite for the future, block after block of zero-privacy little row dwellings with no yards. Other people, however, who see their single family homes as their castles, with privacy and better security, garages in front, gardens in back, with the option of the proven safety of cul-de-sacs, should have them, too.

BY ANDREW TAYLOR WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department on Thursday told Congress that it needs to act by Nov. 3 or the government will be dangerously close to being unable to pay all its bills. That’s a little sooner than Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said two weeks ago when he set a Nov. 5 deadline. At the time, some GOP lawmakers felt Lew was trying to rush them into approving an increase in the government’s $18.1 trillion borrowing limit. But the Congressional Budget Office brought its predictions in sync with Treasury in a report Wednesday. Lew said the Treasury thinks the government will have less than a $30 billion cash cushion on Nov. 3 and noted that the government can pay out as much as $60 billion on some days. On Nov. 3, the government would no longer be able to take arcane bookkeeping steps known as “extraordinary measures” to continue borrowing under the cap.

A rivalry rejuvenated Fish first, Outdoors
Sequim then get PA, meet again ready for tonight Rumble PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
THE RAINSHADOW RUMBLE, the annual rivalry football game between Sequim and Port Angeles, isn’t the only game in the Dungeness Valley today. Anglers can target coho, Michael trout and other game fish on the Carman Dungeness River starting today. Coho fishing is open until Dec. 31 from the mouth of the Dungeness River up to river mile 11.3. The minimum size is 12 inches, and the daily limit is four coho. Trout fishing is open until Jan. 31 from the mouth of the Dungeness up to the fork of the Dungeness and Gray Wolf rivers at the Dungeness Forks Campground. Trout must be at least 14 inches in length, and the daily limit is two. Despite recent rains, the water level is still below normal in the Dungeness River. Brian Menkal of Brian’s Sporting Goods and More (360-683-1950) in Sequim stopped by Railroad Bridge Park on Monday to take a look. “The river was still pretty low,” Menkal said. “It looked like those rains we had over the weekend had already been absorbed.”
Ample opportunities There should be plenty of fish in the river — with numbers varying on fish already counted at the Dungeness Fish Hatchery. “Before the most recent rains, the hatchery had counted 500 fish,” said Bob Aunspach of Swain’s General Store (360-452-2357) in Port Angeles. Jerry Wright of Jerry’s Bait and Tackle (360-457-1308) in Port Angeles had heard a different tally. “The hatchery already got their fish,” Wright said. “Something like 2,000 were counted.” With the low water levels, coho will collect in deep-water pockets to rest and recharge before continuing upriver to spawn. “They’ll stack up in anything that’s deeper, and they will look for riffles,” Aunspach said. Riffles are a shallower stretch of stream bed that can serve as a shelter from predators for salmon and trout. “My favorite method is to use spoons or spinners,” Menkal said. “I would really recommend softer colors, nothing too bright to spook the fish. “You don’t want to pull out a rocket red. Stay away from the fluorescents and use softer colors, softer pinks, oranges and darker colors like purple and green.” Presentation-wise, Menkal said, “you are looking to make a soft, subtle strike so you can set the hook.” Access-wise, many of the properties neighboring the Dungeness River are private. There are some public spots, the dike near the Dungeness Schoolhouse is a good spot located close to the mouth of the river. “Go down toward the schoolhouse and hit some tidal fish that are coming in with the tide, or just target deep pockets,” Wright said. There are areas along Ward Road near the Olympic Game Farm that provide fishing access. The area around the U.S. Highway 101 bridge over the Dungeness is popular with anglers, as are some turnouts along Taylor Cutoff Road.
West End whoppers The Quillayute River system has produced in a big way recently. “Guys have been getting a lot of really big kings out on the West End, look like some around and maybe even above 40 pounds,” Aunspach said. TURN

SEQUIM — The Rainshadow Rumble is actually a rivalry again. Since Erik Wiker took over the Sequim football program in 2004, the Wolves are 7-4 in full games against Port Angeles. After splitting the first four games from 2004-07, Sequim won the next five straight. The Roughriders ended that losing streak with a 37-21 victory two years ago. They then turned that into a winning streak by beating the Wolves again last season, 20-14 in overtime. Add in the 6-0 half-game victory in a three-team postseason tiebreaker last November, and Port Angeles has won three straight contests against Sequim. So when the teams meet tonight 7 p.m. at Sequim High School, it is the Wolves who will be in the unfamiliar position of trying to get off the schneid. “I’m always extra-motivated to beat PA, but since we’ve had a few bad years, we really want to beat them,” Wiker said. “We would definitely like to come out with a win, especially since it’s homecoming, too.” While tonight will be Wiker’s 12th Rainshadow Rumble, it will be the first for Port Angeles’ Bret Curtis as a head coach.

Women’s Match Peninsula 9, Edmonds 1 The Peninsula women were expecting another battle from Edmonds following the teams’ last meeting in which the Pirates scored two late goals to break out of a close match and win 3-0 on the Tritons’ turf. Edmonds, however, had even more players out with injuries than the Pirates — and they don’t have Peninsula’s depth. TURN

Hawks suspend Coleman after arrest BY TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BELLEVUE — The Seattle Seahawks suspended Derrick Coleman on Thursday after police arrested him in a hit-andrun investigation, but his lawyer insisted that if the fullback left the scene at all it was only because he was dazed. Coleman was booked into King County Jail in Seattle early Thursday and denied bail until his first court appearance, which was expected Friday afternoon. Bellevue officers said they arrested him because he left the scene of the two-car accident Wednesday evening. Bellevue Police Chief Steve Mylett said finding out why Coleman left will be a focus of their investigation. “Regardless of the reason why, he has a duty to remain at the scene and provide certain information and render aid if he’s able to,” Mylett said.

casters are already commenting, in frustration no doubt, that those jumping chums this week are ‘slabs’”.
Stick to the hunt points To clarify a portion of Thursday’s outdoors column, waterfowl hunting at the Lower Dungeness Unit is allowed only in five designated hunt points on a firstcome, first-served basis. A map is located at tinyurl. com/PDN-HuntPoints. Hunters are advised to stay off any tidelands in the surrounding area, as those are offlimits to hunting. The full listof rules is available at tinyurl.com/ PDN-HuntRules2015.
Aim for the locals Norden said he hasn’t seen much sign of waterfowl migration yet this fall. “Probably due to the mild weather and lack of storms, even the early migration of ducks into local bays has not started, though there are plenty of local birds,” Norden said. “Since the normal September migration hasn’t come through yet, this opening week may provide a unique opportunity to harvest some of the early migrators, i.e. shovelers, blue wing teal etc . . . that are normally already down in California and Mexico by now. A trip over to the Skagit Valley could prove fruitful.
“On the other hand for those interested, the snow goose migration onto Puget Sound estuaries from their breeding grounds in Arctic Russia has already begun. “Apparently, they had their most successful breeding season in a decade from all the juveniles that have been seen already out on the Skagit Flats.”
Deer stealthy Norden said deer have taken up nocturnal hours. “Hopefully the modern firearm hunters won’t discover what the early muzzleloader hunters discovered around Hood Canal,” Warden said. “The deer have adopted the annoying habit of moving only between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., probably due to the shirtsleeve weather. “It was rare for many muzzleloader hunters, including this one with a doe tag, to even see a doe during shooting light.”

Hawks: ‘In shock after the accident’ CONTINUED FROM A11 Coleman reported no injuries, while the driver of the other vehicle was taken to a local hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries, Mylett said. Steve Hayne, one of Coleman’s lawyers, stressed how close his client was to the crash when he was arrested. “He didn’t really leave the scene. He was in shock after the accident,” Hayne said. “He didn’t go very far, and he didn’t flee in any sense.”
Hayne also said he talked extensively with Coleman at the Bellevue Police Department a couple hours after the crash and recorded a video of him to demonstrate his state of mind. “It’s very clear he was not under the influence of anything,” Hayne said. Mylett described Coleman as cooperative. He was given field sobriety tests and officers obtained a search warrant to draw blood to screen for drugs and alcohol. Mylett said they were obtaining a warrant to search
Coleman’s vehicle. The King County prosecutor’s office said Coleman was expected to make an initial court appearance Friday afternoon. He is being investigated for vehicular assault and felony hitand-run. Bellevue police described the accident on Twitter shortly after it happened as a “heavy rescue.” A police photo of the scene showed the Civic on its roof on a steep, grassy embankment and the truck across a hedge, on its side on the roadway below. Coleman is in his fourth sea-
son with the Seahawks. He was on the practice squad in 2012 before making the 53-man roster in 2013. Coleman missed 11 games and the playoffs last season because of a broken foot. Coleman is legally deaf and his football success has made him an inspirational figure. He has been featured in TV commercials and written a book that was released this year. With Coleman suspended, the Seahawks signed wide receiver B.J. Daniels to take his spot on the active roster.

Football: Red Devils finally face Blackhawks CONTINUED FROM A11
Port Angeles, Sequim players to watch
The Wolves are coming off one of their best games of the season, a 48-6 win over North Mason. Port Angeles, meanwhile, has lost four straight and haven’t scored in the month of October. “I don’t know if you can just throw out the record or not, but that’s the way we’re going to treat it,” Curtis said. “We’ve got some things to prove here.”
■ Sequim: Gavin Velarde, wide receiver/ returner. Versatile sophomore is the Wolves’ top receiver and rusher. He has 20 receptions for 362 yards and three TDs, and has carried the ball 14 times for 255 yards and five scores. Velarde also has returned two kickoffs for touchdowns.
Lummi at Neah Bay NEAH BAY — This should be the challenge the Red Devils have been waiting for. The Blackhawks (2-0, 4-1) started the season a bit slow, by their own standards, but have shown signs of returning to form in big wins over Clallam Bay and Crescent the past two weeks. This is the first meeting of the season between the 8-man powerhouses. Their Sept. 11 game was canceled because Lummi was short on players. Neah Bay (1-0, 4-0) has won eight straight games over the Blackhawks, including three times in 2014 and in the past four state playoffs. The Red Devils also have a 30-game win streak, dating back to the first game of the 2013 season.

Klahowya at Port Townsend PORT TOWNSEND — The Redhawks will clinch their second consecutive Olympic League 1A league title with a win over the Eagles tonight. Seventh-ranked Port Townsend (4-0, 6-0) has a one-game lead over secondplace Klahowya (3-1, 4-2), the only other team with a shot at the league crown, with two games to play.

Forks at Hoquiam HOQUIAM — The Spartans begin their season-concluding stretch of three games away from home against the fifth-ranked Grizzlies. “We flip right around and play another tough team, and every team is tough,” Forks coach Craig Shetterly said of the Evergreen League slate following last week’s 31-0 loss to Elma.
“Every game’s a Super Bowl to us. We have to treat it that way. Hoquiam (4-0, 6-0) might be the toughest of the tough games this season. “I’ve already seen the film on them,” Shetterly said, “and we know they throw it around and we know they’re talented, they’ve got speed, they’ve got athleticism. “It’s going to be a challenge for us.”
Clallam Bay at Crescent JOYCE — Saturday will be Round 2 of Bruins versus Loggers. Clallam Bay (0-1, 2-3) defeated Crescent (0-2, 2-4) 34-14 in the season opener, but it’s safe to say both

which is kept on the stadium scoreboard. Vernatchi “will not officiate in Week 6 as a result of the failure to notice that the game clock was incorrectly started,” league spokesman Michael Signora said Thursday. Signora added Vernatchi
is being taken off the field for one week and then will return to referee Pete Morelli’s crew. Such a move is unusual for the NFL, which rarely publicly reprimands game officials. Vernatchi could file a grievance through the officials’ union.
“The mistake will also impact the evaluation of the other six members of the officiating crew,” Signora said. “Had the side judge or any of the other six on-field officials noticed the timing error, they could have corrected it.” Signora said the status
of the clock operator in San Diego, an NFL employee, is under review. The NFL also has reassigned Greg Wilson, the back judge who missed an end-zone penalty in the final moments of Detroit’s loss at Seattle the previous Monday night.

SEQUIM — An eye for detail, appreciation for nostalgia and love for all things railroad are some of the reasons hobbyists build intricate model replicas both inside and outside their homes. “I think a lot of people start out with a train around the Christmas tree, and then they get to thinking about it later and they start in,” said Dick Wolf, 82, of Sequim.

Haunts across the Peninsula begin tonight BY ARWYN RICE PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
Something wicked is coming to the North Olympic Peninsula, beginning tonight with the Psycho Social in Forks and the Haunted Dungeon at Troll Haven in Gardiner. By Halloween, five houses haunted by design will creak, groan and terrify willing adults and teens from Forks to Port Townsend. Some are familyfriendly while others are adults-only, but all are guaranteed to put the fear of Halloween into those who cross their thresholds.
Haunt the Hangar One of the first North Olympic Peninsula haunted houses to open its
doors is the Haunt at the Hangar at Quillayute Airport near Forks. Hours are from 6 p.m. to midnight today and Saturday, as well as Oct. 23-24, Oct. 30 and Halloween night. Entry is $8 per person age 12 to adult. This year’s theme is “Psycho Social.” The twofloored haunted house is in an old World War II aircraft hangar. “We have a collection of psychotic people we have combed the planet for,” said Phillip Sifuentes, chairman of the haunted house planning committee. From scream queen Emma Fleck to some of the most terrifying 5-year-olds in the world (or do they only look like children?), the denizens of Forks have taken on the challenge of

being judged the scariest haunted house in Washington state. Children younger than 12 should not enter the haunted house, and emergency medical technicians are on-site, Sifuentes said. The 2014 haunted house was so frightening that only about 50 percent of those who entered the haunted house in its first year made it through the end, he said.

Troll Haven will introduce the Haunted Dungeon tonight at the castle, 950 Gardiner Beach Road, on the western shore of Discovery Bay. The Haunted Dungeon is open from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. today and Saturday, as well as Oct. 23-24. The castle’s living area will not be open to the public. Admission to the dungeon is $10 for adults and teens, $5 for children ages 8 to 12. Children ages 8 and younger are not recommended in the dungeon, which is scarier than last year’s haunted house, organizers said. TURN

ISSUES OF FAITH receive directly Wilson and indirectly through the contributions of others. Everything we do is a team effort, so why not ask for assistance whenever possible? It often takes me by surprise how clueless I can be about my need for help and how slow I am to actually ask for it. A powerful indicator to me that I need help is when I feel overwhelmed. It is also the time when I feel most resentful and angry, sometimes blaming others for my stress. Yet those “others” may be the very answer to my dilemma. They could be eager to help if I would simply ask. Never is that more true than in our relationship with God. We can sometimes be angry with God for our situation. But what we need to do is ask for help. Yet we may find it a challenge to trust that God cares, understands and is present for us in every moment.

Jesus encouraged us to “ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened” (Matthew 7:7-8). He then pointed out that even with our personal shortcomings, we want to give good gifts to our children. And God, as our heavenly parent, is also committed to filling our lives with good.
Already at work We need not ask God to act on our behalf, for God is already at work in our lives. We ask that our ability to trust be strengthened. We ask to be guided so that we may actively cooperate with God’s plan. Everything in this universe is God-made. To God indeed goes all the glory. And we play supporting roles. We do not need to struggle alone. Instead, let us go to God in prayer so that our lives may be happy and delicious.

Drawbacks? I’m not getting breakingnews alerts from the technology companies, as I would with individual apps from different publishers. Some people don’t like these notifications, however, and you can turn them off in publisher apps. Also, I can’t get fresh news if I don’t have an Internet connection, unless I saved items previously in Apple News. Some publisher apps will update stories throughout the day and store them, so I can read them when I’m offline. Google says its new tools could let publishers create offline content.
appears acceptable to the gun industry and its adherents who successfully prevent more controls and restrictions on gun ownership and use. Not that there is less concern for the loss of innocent life, but this is outweighed by the benefits they receive. The industry is profitable, and gun adherents enjoy a sense of personal security and the pleasures of hunting, collecting and other gun sports. Society has a certain tolerance, but it is disturbed, and an impasse exists. Those who benefit should bear primary responsibility and be given an incentive to so do. With this in mind, all parties should agree to an acceptable number of innocent lives that may be lost annually due to gun violence, accidents and carelessness — say 50,000? Fines would then be assessed against the gun industry for each innocent life lost over the acceptable limit, $10 million for victims younger than 12 and $1 million for all others. The money could go to the victims’ families and communities. Periodically, the limit set for the number of acceptable inno-

Hillary Clinton brews happy potion SO, HILLARY CLINTON. Skipping down the street. Sun is shining. Gail A small and Collins brightly colored bird is perching on her shoulder. Look — is that a rainbow? Wow, what a good month she’s having. Certainly she’s due, by the sheer laws of probability. Nobody has as many bad months as Hillary Clinton. But this is really one heck of a run. Do you think there’s been an intervention? I just looked up a magic spell for “achieving a dream job” and it involves candles, cinnamon incense and bergamot oil. Just saying. She had a great debate Tuesday night. Her main opponent, Bernie Sanders, said America was sick and tired of the damned email thing! This is actually classic Sanders, who combines persistent truthtelling with extreme crankiness. But convenient as all get-out for Clinton, who did an excellent job herself on most of the questions. In a perfect world, she wouldn’t have said “I represented Wall Street,” but all in all, a home run. And think of all the other stuff that’s been falling her way. She aced her spot on “Saturday Night Live.” This sort of thing is actually not all that tough for politicians — you just have to look sort of human. On the other hand, it’s hard to imagine Ted Cruz playing a sympathetic bartender. And there’s Benghazi. The Republican-controlled House investigative committee that’s scheduled to grill her next week is beset by every disaster short of a plague of locusts.
First, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy went on TV and utterly ruined the committee’s credibility by suggesting its purpose was to destroy Clinton’s presidential campaign. The bad juju kept spreading. McCarthy dropped out of the race for speaker of the House, leaving the Republican majority in disarray and chaos. Maybe Clinton has been using that Macbeth recipe, the one involving eye of newt. Then a former employee of the investigative committee popped up out of nowhere claiming he had been fired because he didn’t want to spend all of his time looking for ways to destroy Clinton. Double the newts and don’t hold back on the toe of frog. A New York Times story by Eric Lipton, Noam Scheiber and Michael Schmidt explored the committee’s $4.5 million, 17-month history and was full of fascinating details beginning with the planned interviews that never occurred and hearings that never happened. Meanwhile, according to the aggrieved ex-employee, some staffers used their spare time to form a gun-buying club, while members held “wine Wednesdays” at which they sipped from glasses labeled “Glacial Pace.” The committee leaders could, of course, still come down hard on Clinton. But if they do, you have to hope at some point she’ll bring up the guns and wine. Right now, the Clinton campaign is still in the post-debate glow. More viewers watched it than the season premiere of “The Walking Dead”! People, when you are depressed about the state of the nation, think about the fact that more people wanted to see Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders on CNN than tuned in for the most popular zombie TV series in history. Clinton is almost always good in debates — she hit a question about Carly Fiorina’s opposition to paid family leave out of the park
— and it didn’t hurt to be a woman surrounded by four crabbylooking men, only one of whom seemed to have any actual excuse for being there. Some people felt the high point was Sanders’ denouncing the email questions, but I personally treasure the moment when Lincoln Chafee called himself “a block of granite.” Sanders did fine. In fact, he seemed to win the focus groups, and small donors poured in a new font of money. The country deserves a twoperson debate between him and Clinton, maybe just about the financial industry. The next morning, we would be discussing the Glass-Steagall Act from coast to coast, which would definitely make “The Walking Dead” ratings story pale by comparison. But the first-debate danger for Clinton was mainly that one of the lesser-known candidates would come out of left field and throw her off balance, with jabs about ethics and emails. It is hard to express the degree to which that did not happen. Martin O’Malley, the former governor of Maryland, who was the original favorite to be Guy Who Gives Hillary a Run, looked at times as if he wanted to cry. The next morning, O’Malley sent out a mass mailing announcing that the debate “wasn’t about me” but instead about . . . the death penalty. It was possibly the weirdest campaign email I have ever seen in my life. Maybe O’Malley got caught up by the Hillary Clinton success spell. We’ll know it’s real next week if they open the Benghazi hearing and the Capitol starts to levitate.

Obama lied, health plan died — twice IN THE FALL of 2013, our family received notice from Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of Colorado that we could no longer keep our private health insurance plan because of “changes from health care reform (also called the Affordable Care Act or ACA).” We liked our high-deductible Michelle preferred-provider organiza- Malkin tion plan that allowed us to choose from a wide range of doctors. But Obamacare wouldn’t let us keep it. Reluctantly, and after great bureaucratic difficulty, my hubby and I enrolled in an individual market plan with Rocky Mountain Health, which offered a much narrower provider network than the Anthem PPO plan we had before the feds snuffed it out. Thanks to “reform,” our two kids’ dental care was no longer covered, and we had our postObamacare insurance turned down at an urgent care clinic — something that had never happened before. This summer came another bombshell. In August, we were informed of the “discontinuation of your Rocky Mountain Individual and Family plan effective December 31, 2015.” Over the past month, we have received several bold-faced notices alerting us that “IMPORTANT ACTION IS REQUIRED: YOU MUST CHOOSE A NEW INDIVIDUAL & FAMILY PLAN TO MAINTAIN YOUR HEALTH COVERAGE IN 2016.” The clock is ticking: Open enrollment begins Nov. 1. The coerced choices are pretty damned crummy. Individual market PPOs
have evaporated. We are being shoved once again toward the Obamacare government health insurance exchange vortex known as Connect for Health Colorado (which should really be called “DISconnect from Health Colorado). Or into a narrow regional HMO. So much for “If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what,” eh, Mr. President? Obama lied, and our health plan has now died — twice. “Progressives” sneered at millions of us who received the first round of individual market health plan death notices. Mother Jones called it the “phony canceled health insurance scandal” when I first reported my 2013 health plan homicide by Obamacare. But it’s real, it sucks, and we know we are not alone among the estimated 22 million other Americans who purchase health insurance directly on the ever-shrinking individual market. In Illinois, Blue Cross announced it was eliminating its most popular individual plan with the largest network of doctors and hospitals of any of its offerings, Blue PPO. More than 170,000 enrollees will have to scrounge up an alternative. Customers are panicking, and insurance broker Mike Troha told the Chicago Tribune last week: “I wouldn’t be shocked if all the PPOs are gone in a few years in the individual markets.” Last month, the Maryland Insurance Administration approved premium rate increases for small group and individual health insurance plans effective next year, with some rates spiking by double digits thanks to “signifi-
cant changes in regulation and market dynamics over the past two years.” Remember: One of the reasons for those rate hikes is that Obamacare’s mandated benefits provisions force insurers to carry coverage for items that individual market consumers had deliberately chosen to forgo. Americans who had willingly and willfully opted for affordable catastrophic coverage-style plans now have fewer and fewer choices. In Texas, some 300,000 individual health insurance subscribers are watching their plans disappear and their access to specialists. In New Mexico, the state Obamacare exchange ended all of its PPO offerings in favor of HMOs. And in Arizona, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna and Meritus are all dropping PPO plans offered to tens of thousands of individuals and families. As the Arizona Republic’s editorial board noted this weekend, “Rosy predictions of cost savings bandied by advocates five years ago are now running into the harsh economic reality of unanticipated consequences.” Hospitals are consolidating. Doctors are quitting their private practices or hitching themselves to the big hospital wagons. “And bigger means fewer options. “Only a handful of critics predicted in 2010 that one consequence of Obamacare would be the return of HMOs. “But, in retrospect, no one should be surprised.” In other words: The destruction of the private health insurance market is going exactly according to plan and as many of us warned. Thanks, Obamacare.

educated young lady. Becky did well in school and particularly enjoyed history, literature and music — interests that continued throughout her life. She married her high school sweetheart, and they started a family while attending the University of Colorado, Boulder, in the early 1960s. Becky and Hank made several places home over the years, eventually landing in the Pacific Northwest. Sequim has been a home close to daughters Challys Samson of Olympia, Washington, and Irene Perler, and son-in-law Bruce of Tahuya, Washington. Four grandchildren bless the family circle: Sarah and Wesley Boone, and Camp-
bell and Brighton Brett. Becky loved nature and enjoyed outdoor activities with the family. Hiking, camping, canoeing and bird-watching were regular pastimes for the Samson family. A loving mother and wife, Becky always made an orderly, beautiful and comforting home for her family, complete with freshbaked goods and desserts, hand-sewn clothes and home decor, flowers from the garden and candles lit at dinner. Once the girls were in high school, she returned to university and graduated with a double major in history and English from the University of Washington in 1985. She worked up from
temporary typist to executive assistant to the president for KCTS television in the late 1980s. During this time, her hardworking ethic and graceful style earned her admiration from her work associates. In her more recent years of retirement in Sequim, Becky made many friends through involvement in the Sequim Garden Club and bunco group. She and Hank enjoyed dinner parties with friends and family as well as occasional travel. Becky also cared for her aging parents and supported her Colorado family with her presence there, enjoying time with her sister and brother-in-law, Cecily and Phil Abel’s family. It was her determination,
style, gentleness and goodwill that will be missed and remembered by so many. Her sweet smile and the twinkle in her eye delighted all who knew her.

attention for his “no quit” attitude. After losing his dominant hand in a mill accident, he was forced to wear a prosthetic hook. Instead of forfeiting his work and hobbies, he simply pushed forward and forged a new path for himself. With some help from friends and family, Don was featured in the National Enquirer for creating prosthetic attachments. He created attachments for swimming, drumming, baseball, fishing and diving. Needing to stay working in the industry he loved, the construction business, Don also built and welded attachments to handle all
of his tools. Anybody who knew Don knew his accident wasn’t a handicap; it was a conversation starter. “Clap your hands, you have two” was a phrase spoken countless times by Don, a perfect example of Captain Hook’s easy-going approach to life and his cheerful sense of humor. Don’s memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 17, 2015, at 1 p.m. at the Lighthouse Christian Center, 304 East Viewcrest Avenue, Port Angeles. A memorial fund has been setup through www. gofundme.com under “In Loving Memory of Donald Horton.”

His dedication to the church took him to camps where hundreds of youth were mentored year after year.

DEAR ABBY: I’m on the verge of 30, and my fiance has a huge issue with the fact that I still cuddle with my mom. From what he says, his family isn’t wild about it, either. Mom has suffered a great deal of loss in her life. She has lost all of her immediate family (aside from her kids) to cancer. We were all caretakers for these family members, doing in-home hospice, and we have formed a unique bond. My fiance has never even been to a funeral, so it’s hard for me to explain this to him. Mom was born in a country in Europe where hugging and lots of affection are natural. I live out of state, but when I’m home I will put my head on Mom’s shoulder and cuddle with her while watching a movie. Sometimes in the morning I’ll bring her a hot cup of coffee, put it next to her bed, and jump in with her and her dog. We joke, laugh, and cuddle until we have to get up. Is this something I need professional help for, as certain people have had the nerve to tell me? Affectionate in Albany, N.Y.

She proceeded to spout off two dozen reasons why we shouldn’t be together — ranging from Kelli’s lack of social graces to her haircut. Then she gave me an ultimatum to choose between Kelli and her. Things have calmed down in the weeks since, but I am concerned my family will never trust my judgment and will mistreat Kelli. I have never been treated so well by a partner, and I don’t want to lose her. Please give me some feedback. Stuck in the Middle in Maryland
Abigail
Dear Stuck: To say that your sister’s outburst was out of line would be an understatement. That she would demand that you “choose” between her and your girlfriend is ridiculous. Because you are serious about Kelli, rather than regard what your sister said as a policy statement from the rest of the family, ask them how they feel about your girlfriend. Some might like her; some might not. But you should not decide whom to marry based on anyone else’s opinion other than your own. They don’t have to live with her; only you do. P.S. Mature adults do not allow anyone to abuse their spouses.
Dear Affectionate: It should be clear to you by now that you are engaged to a man who comes from a family that isn’t comfortable with physical demonstrations of affection, and is quick to judge others. Treasure the closeness you have with your mother while you have it because, after she’s no longer with you, that special kind of affection will be permanently over. For your fiance or his family to suggest there’s something wrong with cuddling with your mother, or that you need “professional help” because you do it, is both sad and wrong. Many people would find the relationship you share with her to be enviable, and I am one of them.

The Last Word in Astrology ❘
by Brian Basset
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Get involved in discussions that can bring about positive change. Showing a greater interest in what your peers are up to will allow you to introduce your own strengths and talents. Listen to the voices of reason and experience. 5 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Put more effort into the way you look and how you get along with others. Don’t make decisions that are influenced by emotional circumstances. Once you see your situation rationally, you will have plenty of time to make the necessary alterations. 3 stars
by Pat Brady and Don Wimmer
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Dealing with a business or personal partner will be stressful. Don’t let anger or anxiety take over. If you can offer a realistic solution in a diplomatic manner, you will avoid trouble. Focus on improving yourself, not those around you. 3 stars
ZITS ❘ by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Venture out into your neighborhood or community and get to know the people who share your concerns. You will meet with opposition at home, so do your best to expand your territory and make some new friends. 3 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Speak up about the way you feel and you will discover you are not alone. Do what you can at home to combat some of the issues that concern you, and you’ll find a way to drum up support. 2 stars
not to overreact, indulge or exaggerate. Listen carefully and ask questions to avoid being lead astray. Facts and figures should be the most important part of any conversation you have. Don’t be confused by someone you love. 3 stars
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Protect yourself from unsavory situations and people who caused heartache or problems for you in the past. Put your ideas into play and build a strong defense to offset any opposition. Update your appearance and build your confidence. 4 stars
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be given plenty of advice based on other people’s perspectives. Don’t waffle when it comes to making decisions regarding your health, wealth or a legal concern. Act on what you know, not on what someone tells you. Romance is on the rise. 3 stars
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take a short trip or get together with friends or relatives. Don’t let anyone limit what you can do or dictate the terms of your relationship or any other agreement. Be your own person and do your own thing. 4 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can turn an idea into a profitable business if you take the steps to bring it to fruition on your own terms. Letting others get involved will be your downfall. Forge ahead and don’t waste time. 3 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do your best

❘
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stay in control when it comes to negotiations, money matters and dealing with medical issues. You have the upper hand as long as you don’t let someone’s emotional blackmail lead you down the wrong path. Trust your instincts. 4 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Disappointment and disillusionment will surface if you rely too heavily on others. Put your plans into motion by yourself and don’t let anyone deter you from reaching your destination. Celebrate your victory with someone you love. 2 stars

The goal of proposed treatment system is to meet the permit benchmarks values established under the Industrial Stormwater General Permit (ISGP) administered by the Washington Department of Ecology. The first phase for the implementation of a treatment system is the construction of an improved stormwater conveyance system to direct runoff to the proposed system. Stormwater from the Marine Terminal site currently discharges to Port Angeles Harbor via two catch basins with corresponding outfalls and multiple deck drains/scuppers at Terminal 3. Specific project elements include: • Abandonment of existing catch basins and outfalls. • Construct a new gravity conveyance pipe suspended below Terminal 3 to convey stormwater from the pier to proposed treatment system. Connect pier pipe to proposed upland conveyance system. • Construct a new upland stormwater conveyance system consisting of gravity conveyance pipe, manholes, catch basins and trench drains to collect and convey stormwater to a Terminal 3 (T3) lift station and associated new T3 24” outfall. • At the Cargo Surge Area (CSA) located west of Terminal 3 construct a new stormwater conveyance system consisting of a manhole, gravity conveyance pipe, valve vault, CSA lift station, and associated new CSA 24” outfall.

a French Canadian culture, May was raised in a GermanCatholic farming community in Spring Grove, Ill. Black Black offers historical stories to give her listeners a new angle on America’s past. Penfound, a native of the United Kingdom, tells original and multicultural tales. Then there is Nixon, who manages to pair Grimm’s fairy tales with her own stories of world travel. She grew up in Port Angeles, of all places — storyteller Viola Nixon is her mother — and has since lived near Mount Rainier and in Alaska for many years. She’s also worked in expedition tourism, traveling to Patagonia, Antarctica and the high Arctic, among other hard-core destinations. Naturally, such forays feed her storytelling penchant.
But while she loves to offer the personal “You’ll never guess what happened” kind, Nixon likewise May relishes a good one from the Brothers Grimm. “I have my own version of ‘Hansel and Gretel,’ ” she says, along Parent with “others that are lesserknown, and delightfully quirky and dark.” Such tales have the power to enthrall, Nixon says, no matter our electronic devices. She challenges anyone — any age — to try a performance this weekend. Sunday is the traditional day for the free Inspirational Concert from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in Peninsula College’s Little Theater.

Nixon has hers picked out: a piece comparing the experiences of two young peoPenfound ple coming to understand life and death. “It’s also a travel story,” she says. Nixon has ideas for after the festival too. She’d like to see a “story slam” or some type of quasiregular gathering, and she doesn’t doubt it will be wellattended. “We are storytelling beings,” she says.

“The concert is full of some of the most wonderful melodies from the classical and Baroque times,” said the maestro, adding that while Lingerfelt’s adagio is “gorgeous and meditative,” then there’s Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 44, a fiery, romantic thing. Pasternack believes this one will make listeners fall in love with the composer. The concerts also offer Mozart’s Divertimento in B-flat major and a suite of instrumental music from Henry Purcell’s early opera masterpiece “Dido and Aeneas.”
These chamber performances run about an hour, Pasternack noted, adding that he looks forward to two sweet evenings. “Come enjoy beautiful and exciting orchestra music,” he said, “in an intimate setting.” For more information about this and other forth-

Clallam County
County commissioner, District 1 How would you have handled the Opportunity Fund dispute with county Treasurer Selinda Barkhuis? McEntire: The treasurer asked us to use a budget process that did not fit the facts. We handled this unprecedented disagreement appropriately, extending olive branches, holding hearings and signing agreements. All to no avail; the treasurer did not meet us halfway until the last moment. Fortunately, we can now move forward. We cannot pick and choose which law or policy to follow; we follow the facts, law and county policy, which we have done. Ozias: Treasurer Barkhuis raised a valid concern about a county policy, pointing out that non-elected administrators should not be able to move millions of dollars between funds without a public process. I would have advocated taking one of the two reasonable solutions she offered or attempting mediation, as suggested by the prosecuting attorney, as an alternative. Insisting upon a legal remedy when given so many options would have been detrimental to Clallam County and its citizens. Should a salary commission set public officials’ salaries, including county commissioners? McEntire: That is certainly one option the law provides for, but it does not seem to have wide support among county elected officials or on the board of commissioners. An advisory committee is what was recommended by the Charter Review Commission, with the salary-setting authority

McEntire: The Board of Commissioners has been asked by the Charter Review Commission to set up an advisory committee to examine the pros and cons of this question and make recommendations. We have responded to this request by doing just that. We should await the recommendations of that committee. But one thing is clear now: I will use my seat on the state Board of Natural Resources to seek a greater financial return on the county’s trust lands.
Ozias: In 2014, when my opponent advocated for cuts to elected officials’ salaries, his fellow elected officials raised a chorus of concerns. One called the plan a “slap in the face,” while another worried it would discourage qualified candidates from seeking office. Public officials’ salaries are a complex subject that should not be politicized.

Port of Port Angeles commissioner, District 3 Should Lincoln Park’s obstructive trees be harvested to allow better flight-path access to William R. Fairchild International Airport?
Connie Beauvais, Michael Breidenbach
Beauvais: We have lost over 1,300 feet of runway because of tree obstructions. Currently, eight trees need to be removed. I would be greatly saddened if a plane had to make an emergency landing but couldn’t make it past the trees. The port has the option of working with the Federal Aviation Administration to deal with the issue or preferably working collaboratively with the city of Port Angeles to restore full use of our crucial runway.
county also needs to be respected. Tree removal and re-establishing a new park forest creates a great educational opportunity. Commercial thinning followed by the planting of new native trees by local schoolchildren would help share our rich history with forests.
Breidenbach: Lincoln Park is a wonderful community asset. The park’s history, use and forested areas need to be respected and protected. Removal of the trees to establish safe air service for the
Beauvais: Log yard revenue was $1.2 million in 2011; $980,000 in 2012; $1.1 million in 2013; $1.7 million in 2014; and is projected at $1.6 million in 2015. It is important for the port to

grow and diversify business lines so any one line does not have a large deficit effect during slow times. I will strongly advocate marketing our available facilities and sites and going after more marine trade businesses while growing composite manufacturing jobs. Breidenbach: Having experience at several ports around the state, I am familiar with the port’s business. Log handling and processing at the Port of Port Angeles is not limited to export only and also includes barging, towing and water rafting of domestic logs. We will see domestic logs shipped from port facilities to help offset a drop in export revenue. If I am elected, I will focus on building additional revenue streams from other port business. What kind of development would you like to see at the former KPly mill property?
Beauvais: The port is currently working to complete the environmental cleanup of this property. The next step is to build a structure appropriate for a tenant. A marine trades business, either a current tenant looking to expand or a new marine trades business, would be most appropriate for this industrial site. Breidenbach: I want to help develop expanded dock facilities for additional maintenance and repair, increase marine trade construction and repair, and create a trade school in conjunction with Peninsula College. We cannot ignore the need for training and job placement for the increased economic activity that the port’s newly rehabilitated waterfront will bring. Our local workforce has a strong work ethic, and improved educational opportunities are key for our successful economic growth.
How would you improve the port’s recently adopted strategic plan? Beauvais: As the only candidate to attend all port meetings on this topic since April, and having provided input at an all-day workshop and public forums, I am eager to get to work on the new goals. In addition, the commissioners need to be more proactively involved in port decisions rather than delegating authority on major decisions, thereby increasing transparency and accountability. We must solve the Lincoln Park tree issue and foster better communication with stakeholders. Breidenbach: I would narrow the strategic plan’s focus by placing environmental cleanup as the first goal to accomplish. Secondly, increase dock facility improvements and construct a barge-loading dock within the next two years. PLEASE

If we assume management, we also assume liability. We’re on the hook if there’s a fire or environmental lawsuit. This concept would also necessitate an entire new layer of bureaucracy within our county government at an unknown cost.

McEntire: In 2011, I said, “Voters have the opportunity to elect a thoughtful, fair-minded, sensible, responsible leader.” I have been a constructive, collegial, common-sense conservative — and I have served with openness, good humor and dedication to good governance. My focus has been on the economic advancement of our county, and I have an excellent record of doing what I promised.
Re-elect me, and that is what Clallam County voters can expect for the next four years. Ozias: We deserve a county commissioner who prioritizes citizen engagement. Who believes that we make better decisions when the people of Clallam County are consulted, engaged and actively involved in their own governance. A collaborative leader with a successful record of achieving results. I am excited about what we will accomplish when we begin planning strategically for our future and working together to achieve it, and I would greatly appreciate your vote.

Clallam County
Forks City Council, Position 5 What should the city do about the backlog of timber harvesting, or arrearage, on Department of Natural Resources land? Kohout: The city needs to receive answers from the Department of Natural Resources. Do we have money coming that is due? Do we not have enough trees to sustain us? Either way, we have not been treated fairly, and they need to answer for it. We need to see complete transparency from DNR to know exactly where we stand.
I believe we need to invest more in the services of our tourists. Currently, there are not enough accommodations to support the influx, and they are turned away or leaving unhappy, sometimes even angry. These are people who will very likely never visit again. We need to harness this in a positive way and use it to save our community.
In light of recent mill closures, what would you do to spur more businesses in the Forks area?
Preston: Continue to reach out by identifying its customers. Providing a more attractive image. Encouraging investment in modern facilities to cater to those audiences. We have the housing capacity and land base to accommodate many more residents. There is plenty of local opportunity for honest, hardworking building-trades folks. Work with the schools to provide those skills to students that encourage independence and business risk-taking. Forks’ day is yet to come. I strongly believe it will.
Kohout: Seeing firsthand that serving tourism can really boost or hurt the local economy,
How would you expand recreational opportunities for residents and visitors?
Preston: Support the state Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Forest Service to meet the goals of the Northwest Forest Plan. It is complex how we ended up where we are now but not impossible to solve.

Kohout: I would like to expand our current parks and trails to include more hands-on learning for our children to go out on field trips or family outings. A much-needed addition: a dog park. We should also look at how the park space is utilized. We could potentially bring in revenue with a cyclist camp, gift shop or concessions. We would have more presence in our beloved park. Maybe it would impact drug behavior, too? Preston: We have a bountiful geography already that is used just about to its capacity in the summer months. There are many other times in which there are remarkable things to do. We can improve on expanding the times when people plan to visit and explore. How? By embracing entrepreneurial spirit and identifying those great ideas and supporting those ideas through financing, collaboration and mentorship. How should the city pay for increasing government costs in light of flat government revenues? Kohout: No one likes new taxes, so the logical answer would be, what can we do to reduce our spending? If we work on our budget and have a goal of even a 5 percent reduction, I believe we can reach fiscal responsibility. Preston: Work on anything we can do to support the DNR and Forest Service to meet the goals of the Northwest Forest Plan. Work with the Timber Action Committee and the Wild Olympics Campaign to meet their objectives. PLEASE

Port Angeles City Council, Position 5 Given limited state funding, how should the city fund badly needed repairs to streets? Merideth: The city can start by thinking ahead. Repaving a road knowing it’s going to be dug up a short time later is a waste of taxpayer dollars. The city needs to continue to seek out matching state and federal dollars while keeping up with maintenance of our current streets. Being inviting to new businesses to increase the tax base, not taxes. Also, by giving up lower-priority city programs to readjust the budget. Smith: Most towns in America used to have a six-year “pavement preservation” cycle to reseal some streets on an annual basis. Money was budgeted each year for planned pavement treatment to maximize their useful cycle. Roads are not pretty, not sexy and easy to be ignored. They are necessary for a vital economy. We must turn around this short-sighted economic approach. However, with limited funds, the best we can do now is to triage. Do you support or oppose fluoridation of city water? Merideth: I oppose fluoridation of our city water. This program forces everyone who pays for water to have fluoride without a choice. It’s unethical for the city to make a medical-treatment decision when individual citizens can get fluoride in other forms and often do so without knowing it.
City Council Position 7 unopposed Dan Bateham, who filed as a candidate for Port Angeles City Council Position 7, dropped out of the race after the deadline, so his name still appears on the ballot. Incumbent Cherie Kidd also filed for the position and remains on the ballot. Because Bateham is no longer running for this position, candidate profiles and questionnaires for Kidd and Bateham do not appear in this voter guide. Water needs to be as safe and natural as possible without all the unnecessary expense and chemical byproducts. Finish the contract, then stop fluoridation. Smith: I oppose the fiat decision made by the council in direction opposition to the will of citizens (who were overwhelmingly against fluoride). Ten years ago, people signed petitions to get a ballot vote. The council did not listen. Fluoridation is one example of how this City Council has been derelict in its duty to represent the people. The result: overwhelming debt and a city that is barely able to maintain basic services. This needs to change. With the city facing immi-
nent budget shortfalls, what would you rank as city government’s lowest-priority program? Merideth: Programs that need to be cut are the ones that benefit the few and not the many. Our tax dollars have to support the programs that provide the highest dollar value to as many citizens as possible. One program I don’t see the usefulness in is the citywide Internet that was installed on every other street corner. Many people can’t even get a signal to access it. Smith: For a town of this size, we are overpaying for our government clerical workers, managers and administrators. Given that the median wage [of the citizens] is $41,000 a year, I think we need to downsize our government salaries to be more in line with the private sector. We need to look at the generous benefits and pensions and find a way to lower those costs. We cannot keep balancing the budget with rate hikes and fees. Did you favor or oppose the ban on fireworks? Merideth: I oppose the ban on fireworks. It’s just one more way government is controlling our lives. It’s once a year on the same day every year. Everyone knows that on July Fourth, there will be fireworks. It’s not a surprise. Unfortunately, there are those who are reckless, and law enforcement is often stretched thin as it is. Citizens need to educate their neighbors when they are being unsafe. We don’t need an outright ban. PLEASE

Clallam County
Sequim City Council, Position 1 How will you address the lack of adequate parking at Albert Haller playfield? Janisse: The overall issue is the interpretation of the 2001 city code. The state Department of Ecology has OK’d the additional parking at the Albert Haller playfields at the water reclamation site. It is now up to the city and outside organizations such as Sequim Family Advocates to sit down and discuss a way to resolve this issue. It may take actual changes to the city code or a change in the way it is interpreted. Leonard-Ray: I encourage city staff and Sequim Family Advocates to work together on a plan to make current parking safer and to provide more parking at the playfield. Parking at Carrie Blake Park and the Water Reuse Demonstration Site is clearly a problem at times and in more areas than at the playfield. Without a road through Carrie Blake Park, it is difficult to travel from the playfield lot in search of parking along Blake Avenue. What is your position on creating a metropolitan park district (MPD) that would oversee more facilities than the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center (SARC)? Janisse: The voters have spoken on this issue. All six Sequim precincts voted against the proposed park district. The city’s plan is the exact same proposal. At stake are the taxes of the proposed park taxing district, not just taxes from city residents. I would be against any pro-

I would support interagency agreements that would keep SARC in business without putting more pressure on the tax base. Leonard-Ray: I support a broad-based metropolitan park district that would oversee facilities including SARC. Sequim’s parks attract many users who do not live in the city, and an MPD would bring in much-needed funds to enhance and maintain the parks. Our aquatic center would have funding to continue operation. With an MPD, the city would be less likely to allow the creation of recreation areas without adequate parking. An MPD is a win for Sequim. Is the city’s relationship with the county good, or can it be improved?
Janisse: The city and county do have a good working relationship. One example is the current Carlsborg sewer partnership. This deal has benefited both Sequim and Clallam County. By using Sequim’s plants, the county saved on building costs they didn’t have, and the city gained the increased user fees but spread out the costs of operations, which saves everyone money. However, both the city and county should continue to look for ways to increase cooperation. Leonard-Ray: I cannot cite examples of the relationship between the city and the county being either good or bad. However, I have read statements in the city’s proposed comprehensive plan that suggest the relationship could be improved. PLEASE

Without it, we have an unfinished product. The city was very fortunate to have Sequim Family Advocates construct the playing fields. The city should finish it with appropriate parking facilities.
ating a park district that is going to add more taxes to the residents of the city and county. There is a way that doesn’t include piggybacking other things that the city would want to put into a park district. They have already started with almost twice as much tax, and there is not even enough in that amount to bring SARC up to par.
Why do we need it now? That will put another tax on the citizens of Sequim and maybe the county for no good reason. Will you serve your full term in office? Lorenzen: Yes.

The city and the county seem to not share the same vision for growth and development. I hope that the city and county can come together on an MPD. What is your position on the city’s proposed stormwater master plan? Janisse: Implementation and
cost will be factors here. A few questions would need to be looked at, such as: Where does the runoff from rainwater ultimately end up? It would be prudent for one to take a close look at the cost-benefit of the current and proposed plan. We need to use the runoff as a
resource and look for ways to make sure that the city comes out on top when it comes to cost. Leonard-Ray: It is difficult to accept the need for a costly plan to control stormwater with only 16 inches of precipitation a year. PLEASE

NO RESPONSE
Pratt: Look for the completion of a parks master plan and work with Sequim Family Advocates and other stakeholders for parking to serve the needs of all. With the completion of a parks master plan, we will work with SFA and other stakeholders to develop parking that will serve the needs of all. I will seek improved signage for optimum safety of usage and flow, and will encourage circulation of written parking options among playfield users. What is your position on creating a metropolitan park district that would oversee more facilities than the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center? Pratt: I strongly support a broadly focused metropolitan park district to address the parks and recreation needs of the greater Sequim Valley. Is the city’s relationship with the county good, or can it
Candidate James Russell did not respond to this questionnaire. be improved? Pratt: Generally, we have a good relationship. However, improvement is needed on respecting the city’s zoning in the urban growth area. The UGA is where our borders meet. It is land earmarked for future growth. The county has been approving growth in this area with no consideration for Sequim’s zoning. That independent approach seriously impacts our ability to economically provide necessary infrastructure when growth occurs. What is your position on the city’s proposed stormwater master plan? Pratt: Having a stormwater
master plan in place is a practical endeavor. It provides both the “big picture” and prioritized projects for handling stormwater when opportunities and money become available. To that end, the plan must be in place in order to apply for federal and state grants for stormwater abatement. Will you serve your full term in office? Pratt: Yes. Why should voters choose you over your opponent? Pratt: I believe my record of the past four years indicates that I have no personal agenda in seeking this office. As a City Council member, I have contributed to Sequim’s leadership, vitality and vision. Transparency and accountability are essential to me, and I am pleased they are the qualities of the governance of Sequim.

Even if the rainfall increases during the winter months and there are more storm events, I doubt we need all elements of this plan. We are not likely to capture enough water to balance the plan’s cost. Will you serve your full term in office? Janisse: Yes. Leonard-Ray: Yes.
Why should voters choose you over your opponent? Janisse: I offer an independent voice for the council. I offer the leadership and skills that would benefit the city and the constituents it serves. I would foster relationships with other council members, city management, NGOs [nongovernmental organizations] and the community. These partnerships often
result in win-win situations and a foundation for future success. I am certain that my team-focused, positive attitude and emphasis on quantifiable results would be a welcome addition to the city of Sequim. Leonard-Ray: I have the time, energy and commitment to represent the people of Sequim and their concerns. As a city of Sequim

Port Angeles School District, Position 3 Should the school district run the same high school construction bond as it did in February or consider other options? Erickson: Because the people in the district voted a strong “no” to the bond issue, a construction bond should be proposed instead. There are critical infrastructure problems at the high school: plumbing (students have almost no working water fountains available to them!), refurbish heating system (too hot and too loud), fix the leaking roof, replace worn carpets and broken tiles, and do cosmetic work in the classrooms like painting and replacing worn desktops. Jones: No. We can have a wonderful school replacement plan, but if it is not acceptable to the voters, it won’t serve our students or community. We must come up with a compromise plan to address the needs of the students and the needs of the taxpayers. Moreover, we must come up with a sustainable facility plan for not just the next few years but the next few decades, as all our school buildings are crumbling. How should the school district address the 32 percent graduation rate at Lincoln High School? Erickson: Congratulations to teachers and students at Lincoln High School.

Sequim School District, Position 3 What are the educational strengths and weaknesses in the district?
Jim Stoffer, Charla Wright Candidates’ biographies appear on the next page.
Stoffer: The greatest strength in the district continues to be the teachers, administrators and staff who dedicate themselves to the success of our students and our schools.
In addition, volunteers, parent organizations and community support emphasize the importance of our schools in fostering a strong and vibrant community. Unfortunately, the antiquated facilities still pose our greatest hurdle to creating learning environments that support modern technology and the needs of 21st
century students. Wright: Some of the strengths within the district are the ability to foresee the need for change and increase student readiness for graduation and college, coupled with the experiences and drive of our dedicated teachers. All these strengths lend well
to educating well-rounded students who are prepared. Our weakness has been the district functioning without a current strategic plan. The strengths within our district are weakened without the vision and direction of a plan. PLEASE

Jeffers: Data showed that the amount of the bond was not the reason for its failure, but rather it was the lack of voter turnout and awareness of need. There are differences of opinion as to when the bond campaign would be most successful. However, the community spoke loud and clear that they wanted to keep the momentum and run the same bond in November. It’s the board’s responsibility to represent its constituents, which we did.
groups, business partners, vendors, etc.), via social media and by routinely attending meetings and networking events for the Sequim and Jefferson County chambers of commerce, Peninsula Young Professionals Network, Sequim Sunrise Rotary and various school events. As a board member, I bring all concerns received before the board for discussion and ensure followup to each individual. Every interaction as an opportunity for engagement.
How will you engage the community to improve public schools in the district?
What are your three overall education priorities that, in a perfect world, you would accomplish during your time in office?
Henrikson: I love opportunities to engage the community in educational conversation. Discussing educational issues is what I do daily. I think we need to engage more of our community in a way that will invite them to become partners in our schools. Our entire community is impacted either directly or indirectly by the success of our students and teachers. When our community has a positive educational outlook and supports our schools, the entire city benefits.
Henrikson: ■ I would have people realize that School Board members don’t accomplish anything alone; the board as a whole accomplishes things together. A district can have the best strategic plan written, but without the ability to implement it with commitment, it is virtually useless. ■ Rebuild trust and confidence between educators and the School Board so that implementing quality programs is a partnership. ■ Build strong community support of our schools.

Will you serve your full term in office? Henrikson: Yes. Jeffers: Yes. Why should voters choose you over your opponent? Henrikson: While my vast and diverse educational background is a bonus, they should vote for me because I’ve spent over 10 years building trust in the educational and greater community as a teacher (just ask former students), instructional coach, assistant professor and, most importantly, a mother of three children in school. With any decision I would make as a board member, the community would be assured that I would weigh every issue carefully, completely and collaboratively. Jeffers: My experience in

Sequim School District, Position 3/ CONTINUED
Should the school district have run the same bond in the Nov. 3 general election as the measure that failed in February? Stoffer: Yes. Remember, 57.59 percent of voters supported the bond. We simply did not obtain the 60 percent supermajority required by law to pass it. The needs haven’t changed, and inflation continues to raise the expected costs of the necessary improvements. Continued community education on the poor physical condition of our public schools and the need to modernize our facilities will gain the support necessary to convince the 60 percent supermajority of the voters. Wright: I support the current bond because of the need for improvement and expansion. We all want what is best for our children, and our equipment and classrooms are in disrepair and need upgrading. The School Board has worked hard at refining the bond as presented, but we need to demonstrate we will not give up. Our school district is the core of our community, and the bond must pass to be competitive and attract growth. How will you engage the community to improve public schools in the district? Stoffer: I will continue to meet voters and non-voters on a daily basis, taking every opportunity to talk one-on-one about their concerns, about the growth of our community and our stu-
dent population, and about the needs of students coming of age in our technology era. Treating each person with respect, listening to their opinions and talking about the facts regarding taxes and public schools ensures that I reach voters outside of the traditional public forum events.

Park and Recreation District 1 (Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center) What is your position on creating a metropolitan park district that would consist of more facilities than the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center? Goodman: Great idea, but my job first is to ensure SARC stays open. My job as commissioner is to choose the option (e.g., YMCA partnership, another SARC levy attempt, possibly a broad-based metropolitan park district, etc.) that gives SARC the best chance of success in its attempt to cover the financial shortfall and stay open for the long term. Jeffers: I would vote in favor of an MPD that would include all city parks, high school tennis courts and the aquatic recreation center. This vote would come with expectations of improvements to current parks and the hope for construction of new public tennis courts at Carrie Blake Park. With SARC’s growing deficit, from what source or sources would you derive the funding to keep the facility open? Goodman: Any source that is not illegal, immoral or fattening. Jeffers: I’d increase dues by 40 percent, eliminate discounts and exemptions, and implement initiation fees, card fees and late fees. These fees are common in all for-profit gyms. In addition, try selling naming rights to the building and making some exploratory calls to 24-Hour Fitness, LA Fitness and Gold’s Gym to see if there is any interest in obtaining a location on the Olympic Peninsula. Longer-term funding is possible by expanded participation in an MPD.

How would you address the failing ventilation, heating and air conditioning system at SARC? Goodman: Ensure proper preventative and/or corrective maintenance continues to be employed. Jeffers: I would suggest investigating a business-equity loan through a bank, a credit repayment plan through the company that is contracted for the work, a February bond measure just for repairs or closing the pool and adding covered tennis courts in its place, funded with a possible expanded MPD. I would also explore the possibility of state or federal grant
money set aside for health, wellness and exercise. What would you do to increase SARC membership? Goodman: Worry first about the most immediate concern: keeping SARC open. First things first. Jeffers: With over 3,000 members, I’m not convinced increased membership is the answer. However, this could be done with some targeted marketing, sign-up specials and corporate sponsorships. Special events would also generate new interest and bring in additional funding. PLEASE

Sequim School District, Proposition 1 BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
SEQUIM — Students need updated buildings, says a proponent of the $49.3 million construction bond proposed by the Sequim School District. Residents can’t afford it, says an opponent. The bond measure on the Nov. 3 general election ballot needs a 60 percent supermajority for passage. If approved, the bond would fund renovations and expansion of Greywolf Elementary School, construction of a new school to replace Helen Haller Elementary, renovations of Helen Haller to house fifth-graders, renovations and expansion of Sequim High School, the demolition of the Sequim Community School building and upgrades to the district kitchen and maintenance facility. The bond would fund a new science wing of six laboratory classrooms at Sequim High and add band, orchestra and choir rooms to the performing arts wing. The current science classrooms were built in 1967 or are housed in portable buildings that are deteriorating, the district said, adding that of its 29 portable classrooms, more than half are more than 20 years old. According to the district, the
estimated property tax rate to repay the 20-year bond would be 61 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. Combined with a levy already in place to fund educational programs and operations — $1.58 per $1,000 assessed valuation — the total district tax rate in 2016 would be $2.19 per $1,000 of assessed value. Two previous attempts to pass a construction bond failed. Voters defeated a $154 million measure by a 56 percent to 44 percent margin in April 2014. A $49.2 million bond last February also failed by a 57.59 percent to 42.89 percent margin, short of the required 60 percent supermajority.
Pros According to Brandino Gibson, vice chairman of Citizens for Sequim Schools, reasons to vote for the bond include: ■ An increase in campus security. ■ Access to cutting-edge technology. ■ A more efficient district kitchen, which serves all 2,800 students in the district. Gibson said moving Helen Haller students to a newly constructed facility would allow the district to discontinue the use of portable classrooms and bring students under one roof.
Proposition 1 The Board of Sequim School District No. 323 adopted Resolution No. 06-2014/2015 concerning capital improvements to district facilities. This proposition authorizes the district to renovate Greywolf Elementary School to increase its capacity, repurpose Haller Elementary, construct a new elementary school, expand the capacity of Sequim High School, improve school safety and security, and make other capital improvements, and authorizes the district to issue $49,300,000 of general obligation bonds maturing within a maximum term of 20 years and levy annual excess property taxes to repay the bonds, as provided in Resolution No. 06-2014/2015. Should this proposition be: { Approved { Rejected
“We are continually putting kids in temporary buildings,” he said. “How can they be safe in those environments? It is important for our kids to be in safe, equitable, adequate environments for them to learn properly.” And “this isn’t just about a new building,” Gibson said. “This about offering our current kids and future children an educational equality that is very much needed. Our buildings are outdated and old.” It would be difficult to renovate the existing buildings to incorporate modern technologies,
he said. “They can’t be updated to meet current needs and technologies. We need to have current facilities that can meet those technological needs.”
Cons According to Bryan Carter, a Sequim resident and former small-business owner opposed to the measure, reasons to vote against the bond include: ■ It would increase property taxes. ■ There is the extra cost of retrofitting existing buildings on
top of new construction. ■ Costs would increase to pay additional staffers at expanded facilities. Local residents on fixed incomes “just can’t afford” the tax hike, Carter said. “Why don’t they retrofit all the buildings they’ve got already? There is no practicality. They are saying they can’t be fixed [and] we need a new school,” he said. “It is mind-boggling, the amount of waste.” Portable buildings haven’t affected students detrimentally in the past, Carter said. “Why now do they all of a sudden need a brand-new building to be smart? It is the teachers that can teach. It doesn’t matter where they are,” he said. “If they can teach, they can teach, even under a haystack. They don’t need a brand-new building to teach.” The cost to provide salaries for additional teachers and staff members at the expanded facilities will add up over time, Carter said. “How are they going to pay for them? How can they justify [that]? Are they then going to go for another bond?” he said.

The Clallam County Charter Review Commission proposes an amendment to the Clallam County Home Rule Charter concerning elections of Commissioners to the Board of County Commissioners. This amendment would require each commissioner to be nominated and elected solely by the voters of his or her represented district, replacing the provision that allows each commissioner to be elected at large, i.e., by a countywide majority, during the general election.
The Clallam County Charter Review Commission proposes an amendment to the Clallam County Home Rule Charter, concerning the frequency the County reviews its Home Rule Charter. This amendment would require Clallam County to review its Home Rule Charter, by electing commissioners to serve on a Charter Review Commission, every five (5) years instead of every eight (8) years.

Gawley: By carefully balancing the needs of the community with the resources we have available. Not having enough people to serve the community is obviously unacceptable, but hiring beyond our needs is wasteful and irresponsible. We plan to grow with the community and will fund this by carefully prioritizing our expenditures and by prudent management of existing revenues. Ryan: A fire district-department is a business.

Being a business owner, I understand these kinds of challenges, and I plan to use my experience in proper budgeting and expenditure-control to help the commissioners and chiefs deal with our present budget and increased call-volume. With it being harder for people to commit their time, what would you do to increase the number of fire department volunteers? Gawley: Recruiting and retaining good volunteers continues to be challenging for departments around the country. As a volunteer myself for the past eight years, I feel it is important to care-
fully screen potential candidates beforehand to ensure we are bringing dedicated individuals into the fold. I would rather have 20 dedicated individuals than 50 who show up infrequently. I value quality over quantity and encourage volunteer feedback, which will help in our recruitment strategy. Ryan: To encourage new volunteer recruitment, I would look at expanding the Explorer program as well as look into offering volunteers potential health benefits and career advancement opportunities through training.

Gawley: I do not like to think in terms of single accomplishments. Rather, after six more years in office, I would like to look back on a solid, well-managed, well-trained and well-equipped department staffed with dedicated individuals who truly care for the well-being of the community. We have that now, and with my help, we will continue to have that in the future.
What, if anything, would you change about how the district is run?
Will you serve your full term in office?
Ryan: If elected commissioner, my goal is to help make sure our community’s needs are truly met and to help make sure their money is being spent
Gawley: Yes Gawley: Right now, the public is protected by an efficient and responsive department, and I see no reason to make major changes to a system that works so well. We will continue to refine our process and adjust to changing situations and emerging technologies, but our core mission remains the same, and our community response will continue to be excellent. Ryan: I would change the culture in relation to
Ryan: Yes Why should voters choose you over your opponent? Gawley: I am an experienced commissioner with a full understanding and knowledge of the needs of this community. I pride myself in making decisions that are thoughtful, deliberate and thorough. It is my vision to move this department into the future by carefully plan-
ning its growth alongside the needs of the community. Simply adding more personnel to the payroll is short-sighted, very expensive and unneeded at this time. We are in great shape. Ryan: I’m sure my opponent is a quality person. I hold utmost respect for him, but what I can bring is many years of successful business experience, seven years of volunteer firefighting and an understanding of our community needs and resources to meet those needs. Our community needs to know what their money pays for and how it works for them.

Port of Port Townsend, District 1 How would you fund necessary improvements to stormwater facilities and the marina at the port’s public boatyard? Talley: Stormwater improvements are critical to maintaining the port’s permit and keeping the boatyard open and providing jobs. I would fund these projects before using existing revenue for noncritical capital projects. All potential revenue sources should be considered: raising rates, raising taxes, tightening overhead, selling unoptimized port property and reducing services, along with low-interest loans, bonds and additional grants. All of these options come with pros and cons, and public input is critical.

recently finishing upgrades at commercial and the C and D docks.
About the Job outline, candidates’ biographies appear on next page.
Should boatyard rates be increased, decreased or remain the same?
Tucker: We instituted environmental user fees proactively to pay for the stormwater system that we have today and to cover its maintenance. I am studying new, more costeffective technologies like biofiltration (an industrial-strength rain garden) to address future needs. Marina improvements are paid for by funds that are set aside each year. The Boat Haven reserve fund presently has $688,000 after
Talley: When additional revenue is needed, rate increases must always be considered. It’s important, however, to not lose valuable customers and harm local businesses in the process. The port also depends on the revenue stream from boatyard businesses to fund the rest of its countywide operations. All potential sources of revenue should be examined with respect to impacts on boatyard businesses and jobs, and rate changes should only occur after considering public input.
Tucker: The issue of boatyard rates is complex. On the one hand, we want to keep rates low to encourage commercial fishing boats and recreational boats to come to Port Townsend. On the other hand, we have to ensure that rates are sufficient to cover the costs of operation and maintenance. So, the way forward involves monitoring the economic and competitive environments and doing our best to chart a course that strikes the best balance.
The committee would include the many diverse stakeholders, including those who directly use the port’s boating and airport facilities, and those community members who are less directly impacted. The public should help guide policy and ensure a triple bottom line, and the process should be transparent and inclusive.

These are growth areas for our community, and the port can play a role in supporting them. What would you do to spur economic growth beyond the Port Townsend city limit? Talley: A marine trades incubator could be created in the Quilcene community to assist businesses with job creation and expansion. In addition, a maritime jobtraining program for youth, modeled on the successful program at the Port Townsend Aero Museum, would be invaluable for Quilcene youth who seek local employment. The port could partner with local agencies and nonprofits to promote these programs. Tucker: We just signed a 25-year lease with Coast Seafood Inc., the largest employer in Quilcene, and we are supporting a wastewater system for Quilcene’s commercial district. Our new infrastructure at the airport will attract new commercial activities. I envision the industrial park by the airport becoming a regional agricultural hub.

Prevention and management of chronic diseases like diabetes require a communitywide effort of better nutrition, exercise and prevention of childhood obesity. Partnerships with the YMCA, public health, mental health and others are essential. What service should the hospital provide that it does not provide now?

Hospital District 2 commissioner, Position 4 What experience qualifies you for this position?
Governance policies are set by the board.
Dressler: Five years as hospital commissioner, three years as board secretary, one year as board chair. I have spent over 30 years caring for and about the residents of East Jefferson County. I am compassionate, knowledgeable, experienced and have already contributed to major improvements at the hospital during the past five years. Thirty-four years living in East Jefferson County; 26 years as a registered nurse at Jefferson Healthcare Birth Center; director of family business, 15 years.
Stafford: The hospital commissioners should set clear, measurable goals and policies for the hospital district. The CEO’s role is to execute those goals and policies and be held accountable for the achievement of those measurable goals.
Stafford: I worked in the information technology department at Jefferson Healthcare for five years. During this time, I worked closely with the directors of nearly every department and all the members of the strategic leadership team to create solutions for the data and information needs of the hospital. In this role, I came to understand not only the way that the many individual departments work but also how information is shared throughout the organization. What should be the roles of the hospital CEO and the hospital commissioners in setting goals and policies?
How much should the hospital work with other health care providers in the community? Dressler: A strength of Jefferson Healthcare is that the hospital district already works with many health care providers in the community and is open to work with others whenever a suitable opportunity occurs. A recent example is Jefferson Healthcare in partnership with Jefferson Mental Health Services have together employed a psychiatrist. Stafford: The hospital should engage and partner with all other health care providers in the community, along with agencies such as Jefferson County Public Health and Jefferson Mental Health Services, as much as possible. What service should the hospital provide that it does not provide now?

Stafford: The major health care service gaps in our community are mental health services, chemical dependency services and dental care. The hospital needs to work closely with its strategic partners within the community to address these gaps. Will you serve your full term in office? Dressler: Yes. Stafford: Yes. Why should voters choose you over your opponent? Dressler: During the five years since I was elected to the board, huge improvements have been implemented, especially in the quality and safety of patient care, financial stability, new services, better nutrition and locally sourced foods. I have a vast knowledge of the health care industry acquired over 40 years, with experience in both clinical health care and business arenas. Just as important, I have the time and energy to continue to devote to the hospital district’s needs. Stafford: I will use my experience and knowledge to help the commission make the best possible decisions. I will bring fresh eyes and an open mind to addressing all the health care challenges currently facing our community.

CONTINUED
In a bidding war, those with the most money always win. Attempts to create high-density housing areas have not materialized on their own. Better wages and more housing options would help. More large “McMansions” will not. How would you guarantee that the comprehensive plan update is as comprehensive as it should be? Faber: The city has done a good job of engaging locals to ensure our community is as involved in the comprehensive planning process as is possible. This engagement must continue up through the final stages of the comprehensive plan to make sure all have a chance to speak their minds. We also have to recognize the ways in which our various priorities are interrelated, such as resiliency, affordable housing, jobs, environmental stewardship and transportation. Keena: Public input, public input, public input, follow-through.
and school district? Faber: Yes. Faber: The port, hospital district and school district are some of our largest and most important local employers. When possible, the city should assist their efforts at improving services, infrastructure and other aspects of economic development where practical to do so. The city should also serve to facilitate the already fantastic interconnectivity of our major employers to ensure that their efforts have the broadest possible success. Keena: The hospital, the school district and the greater marine trades are some of the biggest employers in the county. Jobs are the basis for all economic activity. The hospital, however, should focus on patient care, and the school district should focus on teaching our future. The port, on the other hand, is an economic and industrial hub. Marine trades using past and future technologies should see Port Townsend as their home and be encouraged.
How should the city coordiWill you serve your full nate economic development with the port, hospital district term in office?

I am skilled at negotiating mutually agreeable solutions to complex and difficult problems. I am the vice president of the Boiler Room board of directors, the vice president of the Jefferson County Bar Association, a director of the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Port Townsend Rotary Club and am endorsed by Progressive Majority Washington. Keena: I pledge to give all issues an open mind and am willing to see more than one perspectives. I want more “outside-the-box” thinking from the council, and I hope you do, too. My experience at the port should help me know the right time to ask the right questions. I will do my best, and that is all I can offer.

What are the educational strengths and weaknesses in the district? Kuehl: Quilcene’s status as a small, rural district gives it both strength in its vibrant sense of community and weakness in its ability to provide wider programs. Like all things, however, strengths and weaknesses are a matter of context, and Quilcene has an excellent track record of addressing problems. We need to work together to solve problems in the best way possible, using our strengths to address our weaknesses. How will you engage the community to improve public schools in the district? Kuehl: I led the effort to establish Quilcene’s first community-driven 10-year strategic plan, and I am a strong proponent of working with the community to meet the needs of our students. I enjoy reaching out to people and discussing concerns and options, and find we have better ideas and solutions when we put our heads together in service to the school.
NO RESPONSE Candidate Bonnie Hitt did not respond to this questionnaire. I would like to keep the district accountable to the students, parents and the public. The board works as a team, so my individual goal is to be effective on the team and to help implement what makes sense in the changing circumstances that the district will inevitably face. If the School Board decides to run a replacement levy in February, how would you convince the increasingly older population to approve it? Kuehl: Our children are our future.

Port Ludlow Fire District No. 3, Position 3 How would you address budgetary issues surrounding increased calls for service and static staffing levels? Gregory: International Association of Firefighters Local 3811 controls the budget and the operation of the district, not the commissioners. The 2015 collective bargaining agreement is 65 pages long. Taxpayers in Port Ludlow’s master planned resort paid $1.9 million to the district this year. The commissioners need to refocus on their constituents. Helmonds: The increase is not enough to be of concern. If we maintain our current levels of staffing, we can handle more than our current level of calls for service. Our recent maintenance-andoperations levy, which was overwhelmingly approved by our voters, has allowed us to maintain our staffing and continue to supply our firefighters and paramedics with the necessary equipment and training to continue the service levels our residents have asked for.

Initiative 1366: Concerns state taxes and fees Initiative Measure No. 1366 Initiative Measure No. 1366 concerns state taxes and fees. This measure would decrease the sales tax rate unless the legislature refers to voters a constitutional amendment requiring two-thirds legislative approval or voter approval to raise taxes, and legislative approval for fee increases. Should this measure be enacted into law? { Yes { No
not be changed by a regular law. This means that neither the Legislature, nor the people through the initiative process, can pass a law that requires more votes in order for certain types of bills to pass. The only way to increase the number of votes needed for a bill to become a law is to amend the constitution. The constitution can only be amended if two-thirds of the members of each house of the legislature vote to propose the amendment. The amendment must then be approved by a majority of the voters at the next general election.

This measure would cut the state retail sales tax from 6.5% to 5.5% on April 15, 2016, unless the Legislature first proposes a Law as it presently exists specific amendment to the state Washington law charges a constitution.

Argument for
Argument against
Five times the voters have approved initiatives requiring either a two-thirds vote of the Legislature or majority vote of the people to raise taxes. Five times. In 2012, 64% of voters approved it. Voters clearly want tax increases to be an absolute last resort. Nonetheless, Olympia won’t listen to the people unless we pass I-1366. Recent history shows why. With I-960, tax increases were a last resort and Olympia balanced its budgets without raising taxes. In 2010, they suspended I-960 and increased taxes a whopping $6.7 billion, a huge betrayal of the public trust. KING 5’s poll: 68% thought it was the wrong thing to do. This year’s Legislature, without the two-thirds requirement in effect, increased taxes a jawdropping $17.5 billion. Passing I-1366 sends a clear message: we need protection from Olympia’s insatiable tax appetite. We need an economic climate where families feel confident, employers expand and job growth is positive. I-1366’s protections provide a stable future, giving families and employers the certainty they need to prosper. Olympia faces another big deficit because unsustainable spending has once again outstripped revenue. We simply can’t afford to have it all. When voters pass I-1366, Olympia will be prodded to reform government, prioritize spending and reevaluate existing programs. If voters reject I-1366, Olympia will resort to job-killing, familybudget-busting tax increases. Hold Olympia accountable for your tax dollars — vote yes.
Tim Eyman’s I-1366 forces lawmakers to either change our Constitution — allowing a handful of ideological legislators to dictate the agenda for all of our state — or face $8 billion in unnecessary cuts to essential services over six years. It’s a false choice that takes Washington backward. Washington has the most regressive tax system in the nation, unfairly harming middle and lower income households, startups and small businesses. Under 1366, as few as 17 ideological legislators from either party, out of 147 total, can block reforms that could make state government work better for us all. By holding lawmakers — and taxpayers — hostage to a constitutional change, 1366 would force deep, unnecessary cuts to K-12 schools, higher education, public safety and health care. Our kids would lose from rolling back bipartisan gains in school funding with increased class sizes, out-of-date textbooks and technology, and fewer good teachers. I-1366 is so flawed it will likely be found unconstitutional, wasting millions in legal fees that could be better spent on law enforcement, health care and other basics. Let’s reject the politics of hostage taking, and protect our constitutional tradition of passing legislation by majority vote, by saying no to 1366.

Initiative 1401: Concerns trafficking of animal species near extinction Law as it presently exists An international treaty called the “Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species” identifies many species of animals and plants that are at risk of extinction worldwide. Among the species this treaty addresses are species of elephant, rhinoceros, tiger, lion, leopard, cheetah, pangolin (also called a spiny anteater), marine turtle, shark and ray. The United States agreed to this treaty in the 1970s. Federal law makes it illegal to sell, import or trade in endangered species listed by the treaty, or in parts or products made from animals that are listed as endangered (with some exceptions). Washington state law does not prohibit the purchase, sale, trade or distribution of parts or products made from endangered species of elephant, rhinoceros, tiger, lion, leopard, cheetah, pangolin, marine turtle, shark or ray.
Initiative Measure No. 1401 Initiative Measure No. 1401 concerns trafficking of animal species threatened with extinction.

Argument for
Argument against
Initiative 1401 will help save endangered wild elephants, rhinos, lions, tigers, leopards, cheetahs, pangolins, marine turtles, sharks and rays — all at risk of disappearing from Earth forever. The scale of the poaching crisis is immense. In one recent case, poachers poisoned a watering hole with cyanide, killing 300 elephants at once. Every fifteen minutes, on average, poachers kill another elephant for black-market ivory — sometimes even sawing off the animal’s tusks while it’s still alive. By penalizing those who traffic in these and other illegal animal products, I-1401 will help put an end to such cruelty and save these iconic animals from extinction. The United States is the world’s second-largest market for products from endangered species, and the Ports of Seattle/Tacoma are major entry points. Since 2010, there have been more than 50 seizures of elephant products entering Washington state alone. I-1401 will give state authorities new tools to choke off this illegal trade before these endangered animals are driven to extinction. I-1401, written in close consultation with leading wildlife scientists and law enforcement experts, is supported by many respected organizations including the Humane Society of the United States, Sierra Club, National Wildlife Federation, Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle Aquarium, and Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium. By voting “yes” on I-1401, we can do our part to help save endangered animals from extinction.
We all love elephants. This initiative doesn’t protect them. Proponents provide no evidence this ban will stop trafficking or poaching in other countries. Poaching and trafficking in poached ivory is already a felony under international and federal laws and has been for decades. Poaching has increased because of demand in Asian markets not because of the purchase and sale of ivory from before the ban on importation into the United States. This initiative targets legally purchased, legally crafted, legally owned ivory. It targets antiques. In section 3(2)(a) of the initiative an antique is exempt only if it is more than 100 years old, is less than 15% ivory and you have all the paperwork to prove it. If this passes you could be charged with a felony and fined $14,000 for selling your grandmother’s elephant ivory necklace for $250. Chess sets, jewelry, figurines, poker chips, buttons and beads, anything more than 15% ivory would become worthless. All your investment would be gone If you legally “own” something but cannot sell it or give it away do you have anything left of value? All this initiative would let you do is donate it to a museum or pass it through a will to heirs who couldn’t sell it or give it away either. Most people who have family heirlooms or collections are not billionaires. Property owned legally should continue to be legal.
