Golf course, Experiment looks to tame carbon bakery best impact in East Jefferson County in contest BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT TOWNSEND — A climate action group is seeking participants for an experiment designed to recognize and decrease the carbon footprint of individuals in East Jefferson County. Taming Bigfoot is a threemonth project planned to begin in mid-January and end in midApril. It is a game in which participants will form eight-member teams that compete to lower their carbon footprints during their daily routines by keeping track of their activities and compensating for the increase with ecologicallybased actions. A carbon footprint is a measurement of the amount of greenhouse gas emissions associated with various activities. Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, warming the Earth’s average temperature and causing a change in climate, according to the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The game doesn’t cost anything; it will be run by volunteers and supported by business sponsorships. Applications are due by Dec. 15. They are available at http:// tinyurl.com/PDN-Taming, which also outlines details of Taming Bigfoot. The activity is organized by the Local 20/20 Climate Change Outreach Group. The group is a subset of the Climate Action Committee formed by the city of Port Townsend and Jefferson County to cut greenhouse gas emissions to a point that is 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. The teams that achieve the greatest carbon footprint reductions will win prizes, which orga-
“We want them to understand the real impact of their actions, and encourage them to decrease their carbon output by taking fewer trips and paying attention.” BOB BINSCHALDER Taming Bigfoot organizer nizer Bob Binschalder said will have a combined worth between $1,500 to $2,000. “Part of the motivation is for us to teach people how to best reduce their carbon footprint, but we also want to reward people for putting forth their best effort,” said Binschalder, a retired NASA scientist now living in Quilcene. “We want them to understand the real impact of their actions, and encourage them to decrease their carbon output by taking fewer trips and paying attention.”
Diversity on each team The eight-member teams are designed to have a representative diversity of county residents. Each is to include a person from a household with one or two members, one from a household with four or more members, a person living within the Port Townsend city limits, one living outside city limits, one already living a “green” lifestyle and one not doing so, at least one member younger than 30, and a member who is recognized as a prominent county resident. Binschalder said the last requirement has some flexibility. He’d like to see elected officials participate but will accept clergy “because they make large contributions to the community.” TURN

Quilcene residents to meet on 101 safety Gathering is slated for Dec. 7 BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
QUILCENE — Town residents will have their first opportunity next Monday to provide input about traffic options meant to increase safety on a 1.2-mile stretch through the community. The stretch is on U.S. Highway 101 and residents have reported that cars often exceed the posted 30 mph speed limit. The meeting from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday, Dec. 7 at the Quilcene Community Center, 294952 U.S. Highway 101 will be the first of two meetings where these options will be presented and discussed.
Your Peninsula
The second meeting had not been scheduled as of today. The project’s purpose is to provide Quilcene with enhanced pedestrian crossings, sidewalks, and bicycle lanes along Highway 101. It might also include streetscape improvements such as traffic signs and beacons, pedestrian scale lighting, and landscaping and pedestrian features to serve as visual cues to slow down drivers as they pass through the Quilcene Center, according to a press release from the Jefferson County Department of Public Works. Tom Brotherton, whose family
owns and operates the Quilcene Village Store, expects about 100 people will attend the meeting. About 600 people live in the town. “Everyone in town knows that people drive too fast on this road,” Brotherton said. “We are hoping to learn exactly what people want and balance safety and aesthetic issues, although they aren’t going to want to spend a lot of money on something that’s primarily aesthetic.”
Unsafe areas Brotherton said that two examples of unsafe areas are a curve just south of Quilcene School with limited visibility and an area in front of Peninsula Foods, 294682 Highway 101,

‘The Bridges of Madison County’ tour ON TOUR THIS winter is a Broadway musical about the one that got away, in more ways than one. “The Bridges of Madison County,” with a superb score by Jason Robert Brown, started an eightmonth U.S. tour Saturday that features both a story about a lost soul mate and a chance at musical redemption. The Broadway show that sparked it — starring Kelli O’Hara and Steven Pasquale — closed after just 137 performances in 2014 but the show’s staging and Brown’s Tony Award-winning songs get another chance to soar. “I’m very grateful that these audiences around the country will get a much

ment to shoot a series of covered bridges in Iowa, and an Italian-American housewife. It’s based on the Robert James Waller novel, which was made into a 1995 movie starring Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood.

Passings By The Associated Press
JOSEPHINE CHAUS, 64, a fashion executive who founded Bernard Chaus Inc. with her husband and later rescued it from the brink of collapse, died Wednesday at her home in Manhattan. The cause was cancer, said her son Ariel, the current chief executive of Chaus. Mrs. Chaus Mrs. Chaus had a lifelong interest in fashion and was working as a buyer for a store in New Jersey when she met Bernard, her future husband. In 1975 — three years before the couple married — she persuaded him to go into business as partners on a clothing brand, making moderately priced office attire for women. The company later expanded into sportswear, and it went public in 1986. Like many companies in the apparel industry, Chaus suffered sharp swings in its fortunes. The rise of Liz Claiborne, a rival for space in working women’s wardrobes, and the temporary loss of their crucial account with Macy’s cut into Chaus’ sales and turned its thin profit to a loss. When Bernard died in 1991, at 62, Mrs. Chaus inherited a company in debt and in need of a turnaround. “I think everyone thought I would stay home and grieve and the company would continue to decline,” Mrs. Chaus told The New York Times in 1993. “But along with the mourning process, I had to go through a fast growing
process as well.” Mrs. Chaus lowered the brand’s prices, consolidated its manufacturing, tightened its shipping logistics and expanded its retail presence, bringing Chaus back from the brink in a way that surprised industry veterans. Josephine Augello was born Aug. 25, 1951, in Brooklyn, where her father, Sam, worked as a shipbuilder at the Navy Yard. She was raised in Searingtown, N.Y, a community on Long Island, and spent a year at the University of Miami, but she left before receiving a degree because she could not afford to continue. Besides her son Ariel, she is survived by another son, Aaron; three granddaughters; two brothers, Lenny and Patrick; and her mother, Tina.
________ JAMES PRIDEAUX, 88, who wrote television movies that starred Katharine Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor and a play for which Julie Harris won a Tony Award for best actress, died Nov. 18 in West Hills, Calif. The cause was a stroke, said his agent, Michael Peretzian. Mr. Prideaux was working on Off Broadway shows and for TV soap operas in the late 1960s when Hepburn recruited him to Hollywood to write a screenplay. While that project was abandoned when she returned to New York to appear in “Coco,” her only Broadway musical, she would star in three TV movies written by Mr. Prideaux: “Mrs. Delafield Wants to Marry” in 1986, “Laura Lansing Slept
Here” in 1988, and “The Man Upstairs” in 1992. Hepburn, hovering around 80 and still Mr. radiant, was Prideaux generally applauded for displaying her customary spunk in the vehicles that Mr. Prideaux created for her. Harris won a Tony Award and the prolific Mr. Prideaux won a Drama Desk Award for most promising playwright in 1973 for “The Last of Mrs. Lincoln.” although the show, which explored Mary Todd Lincoln’s widowhood, closed after six weeks. It was reprised as a 1976 film.

Today’s Highlight in History: ■ On Nov. 30, 1965, “Unsafe at Any Speed” by Ralph Nader, a book highly critical of the U.S. auto industry, was first released in hardcover by Grossman Publishers. On this date: ■ In 1782, the United States and Britain signed preliminary peace articles in Paris, ending the Revolutionary War. ■ In 1803, Spain completed the process of ceding Louisiana to France, which had sold it to the United States. ■ In 1936, London’s famed Crystal Palace, constructed for the
Great Exhibition of 1851, was destroyed in a fire. ■ In 1939, the Winter War began as Soviet troops invaded Finland. The conflict ended the following March with a Soviet victory. ■ In 1954, Ann Elizabeth Hodges of Oak Grove, Ala., was slightly injured when an 81/2pound chunk of meteor crashed through the roof of her house, hit a radio cabinet, then hit her as she lay napping on a couch. ■ In 1982, the Michael Jackson album “Thriller” was released by Epic Records. The motion picture “Gandhi,” starring Ben Kingsley as the Indian nationalist leader, had its world premiere in New Delhi.
■ Ten years ago: President George W. Bush gave an unflinching defense of his Iraq war strategy in a speech at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., refusing to set a timetable for troop withdrawals and asserting that once-shaky Iraqi troops were proving increasingly capable. ■ Five years ago: Pentagon leaders called for scrapping the 17-year-old “don’t ask, don’t tell” ban after releasing a survey about the prospect of openly gay troops. The Obama administration announced that all 197 airlines that flew to the U.S. had begun collecting names, genders and birth dates of passengers so the government could check them
against terror watch lists before they boarded flights. ■ One year ago: Pope Francis and the spiritual leader of the world’s Orthodox Christians, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, issued a joint declaration at the end of Francis’ visit to Turkey demanding an end to violent persecution of Christians in the Middle East and calling for dialogue with Muslims.

A3 Briefly: Nation Trump cancels press event with black pastors JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has cancelled a press conference in which his campaign said he would be endorsed by as many as 100 black evangelical religious leaders. Many of those invited to the event said they had no intention of endorsing the billionaire businessman and former reality television star. “It’s a miscommunication,” said Darrell Scott, the senior pastor of New Spirit Revival Center in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, who has Trump helped to arrange meetings between Trump and black pastors in recent months. Trump’s campaign “thought it was going to be a press conference for an endorsement when it wasn’t,” Scott said Sunday in an interview. Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said in an email that Trump would still be holding a private meeting with the group today before departing for a rally in Georgia. She did not respond to additional questions about the cancellation.
Shooting analysis CLEVELAND — Prosecutors in Ohio on Saturday released a frame-by-frame analysis of the surveillance camera footage first made public a year ago that shows a white Cleveland police
officer fatally shooting a black 12-year-old boy who had a pellet gun. The additional images taken from surveillance video at a recreation center where Tamir Rice was shot and killed don’t appear to contain any new or substantive information. The new footage was released in the “spirit of openness,” said Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty. The analysis also doesn’t show whether Tamir, as police officials have maintained, was reaching into his waistband for the pellet gun when then-rookie patrolman Timothy Loehmann shot him less than two seconds after getting out of the car. The enhancement by a video expert will be presented to a grand jury that will decide if Loehmann or his field training officer should be charged criminally for Tamir’s death. Loehmann shot Tamir outside Cudell Recreation Center on Nov. 22, 2014.
Visit with protesters MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis Fire Chief John Fruetel has met with protesters outside a police station to discuss concerns about campfires there and emergency access to the site. The protesters have been there for two weeks since a black man, Jamar Clark, was fatally shot by an officer Nov. 15. Some who said they saw the shooting said Clark was handcuffed, which police dispute. The protesters have used portable fire pits to keep warm and have barricaded the street. The fire chief alerted reporters about his visit, but the Star Tribune reports journalists were blocked from the brief meeting by Black Lives Matter activists. The Associated Press

Billions are pledged for clean energy research Business and government promise funds BY SYLVIE CORBET, KARL RITTER AND SETH BORENSTEIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — Government and business leaders are banking on clean energy technology to fight global warming, kicking off this week’s high-stakes climate change negotiations by pledging tens of billions of dollars for research and development. Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates, President Barack Obama and French President Francois Hollande will announce the new initiative today, committing to spend tens of billions of dollars for a technological
fix to the planet’s climate woes, three current and former officials have told The Associated Press. “It’s quite a big deal,” said Jennifer Morgan, global climate director for the World Resources Institute. “It brings a new kind of burst of energy into the conference right at the beginning on something very important.”
Moment of silence The U.N. climate summit formally opened Sunday afternoon with a minute of silence for the victims of this month’s Paris attacks and vows not to let terrorism derail efforts to slow or stop climate change. The “ambitious” effort to develop clean energies initially involves eight countries — France, the U.S., India, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Canada and Norway — according to a French official, who asked not to be named for lack of authorization to speak.
These countries would pledge to double their spending on low or no-carbon energy, according to an early version of a document obtained by the AP. President Barack Obama revealed no details Sunday as he traveled to the talks, but wrote on his Facebook page that “we’ll work to mobilize support to help the most vulnerable countries expand clean energy and adapt to the effects of climate change we can no longer avoid.” The money would focus on research and development of technologies such as energy storage, which could make better use of clean power from wind and solar regardless of the vagaries of weather. Led by Gates, about 20 private business leaders have signed on to the initiative, making their pledges conditional on governments also pledging more money, said a former U.S. government official who is familiar with the plan.
Official: Man suspected in shooting made odd remarks THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Robert Lewis Dear told authorities “no more baby parts” after being arrested for the shooting of a Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic, according to a law enforcement official, part of a rambling statement that investigators are parsing to understand the reasoning behind an assault that left three dead. Colorado Springs police Sunday said they would not disclose any information on the motive for the attack, a move that guarantees further speculation over the intention of Dear, whom acquaintances described as an odd, reclusive loner, as he prepares for his initial appearance in state court today. Planned Parenthood cited witnesses as saying the gunman was motivated by his opposition

to abortion. He killed a police officer and two civilians who were accompanying separate friends to the clinic: Jennifer Markovsky, 36, a mother of two and Ke’Arre Stewart, 29, an Iraq War veteran and father of two. The law enforcement official who recounted Dear’s statement spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not allowed to publicly discuss the ongoing investigation. The official said the “no more baby parts” comment was among a number of statements he made to authorities after his arrest, making it difficult to know his specific motivation. Still, U.S. Attorney John Walsh said investigators have been in touch with lawyers from the Justice Department’s Civil Rights and National Security divisions,
suggesting officials could pursue federal charges in addition to state homicide ones. One possible avenue is the 1994 Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which makes it a crime to injure or intimidate clinic patients and employees. The attack thrust the clinic to the center of the debate over Planned Parenthood, which was reignited in July when anti-abortion activists released undercover video they said showed the group’s personnel negotiating the sale of fetal organs. Planned Parenthood has denied seeking any payments beyond legally permitted reimbursement costs for donating the organs to researchers. Still, the National Abortion Federation said it has since seen a rise in threats at clinics nationwide.

DESPITE SOME MIGHTY competition, Katniss and her crew dominated the box office once again. “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2” held on to its first-place spot in its second weekend in theaters, earning $51.6 million to top “The Good Dinosaur” and “Creed,” which both debuted Wednesday, according to Rentrak estimates Sunday. The fourth and final installment in Lionsgate’s highly successful series has grossed $198.3 million to date. Disney and Pixar’s animated dinosaur movie took second place, bringing in $39.2 million Friday through Sunday, while “Creed” was third with $30.1 million.
KURDISH OFFICIALS SAID Sunday three more mass graves have been found in the northern town of Sinjar, where Kurdish forces backed by heavy U.S.-led airstrikes drove out Islamic State militants earlier this month. The discovery brings the total number of burial sites in the area to five and the total number of bodies uncovered to between 200 and 300, according to local officials. While excavation and identification of the bodies could take months, Sinjar residents are expressing frustration with the process, complaining that requests from the Kurdish Regional Government for expert help have gone unanswered.

Sequim native now a State Patrol trooper BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
SEQUIM — State Patrol Trooper Abigayle A. Powers, a Sequim native, is on the beat and hopes to improve the public perception of police. Powers, 21, was sworn in as a peace officer Nov. 19 during a ceremony at the Capitol Rotunda in Olympia. She is now assigned to Marysville in District 7. “Right now, with the state of how police are viewed nationwide . . . I think that is the most rewarding thing — being able to show the public that we do care,” she said over the phone last week from Marysville. Powers is one of 25 graduates in the 105th Trooper Basic Training Class.
Assigned to Peninsula Two other graduates are being assigned to posts in District 8 on the North Olympic Peninsula. Aleksander D. Black, 22, of Spokane has been assigned to the Forks area, while Seth C. Jones, 22, of Tumwater has been assigned to Port Townsend. Both men assumed their posts Nov. 20.
During their course work, the cadets completed more than 1,000 hours of training. The graduates were sworn in by s t a t e Supreme Court Associate Chief Justice Charles W. Johnson, and were p r e s e n t e d Black with commission cards by Gov. Jay Inslee and State Patrol Chief John R. Batiste. “The 25 cadets graduating today endured a rigorous application process, extensive background investigation, and received the best training, unmatched anywhere else in the nation,” Batiste said during the ceremony. “Today, they will join the ranks of Washington’s finest, as troopers of the Washington State Patrol.” The Washington State Patrol Academy produces about three cadet classes every two years, which accounts for about 100 to 120 new troopers. Historically, only about 4 percent to 6 percent of the total number of applicants makes the grade to become troopers, according to State

Patrol.
Responsibility Powers said that although she is Jones excited about becoming a trooper, “it makes me feel a lot older than I actually am. “I think it is just the type of career that it is. Starting a career at 21, I don’t think people think about doing that.” Powers has been assigned a patrol vehicle and conducts standard enforcement activities as she works the day shift from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. She said she regularly responds to collisions and assists disabled vehicles. “It is pretty much the same throughout the state as far as what we do,” she said, “but here [in Marysville] it is interesting because we have rush hour and getting used to that is going to take some time.” Powers does not ride with a partner, and has “made a couple of my first traffic stops all by myself,” she said. “It is pretty interesting being alone out there.” While back-up is a radio call away, most of the time
Powers is alone and must be self-reliant when approaching a vehicle, she said. Self-reliance “is what they give you in the academy. That is what you learn there.”
Non-confrontational During traffic stops, Powers approaches those she has pulled over in a non-confrontational way, she said. “I just talk to them like I am a normal person without the uniform on. It would be like talking to my mom or my dad. I am not better than they are in any respect.” Powers, daughter of Jeff and Gayle Powers of Sequim, is one of 11 siblings — a middle child — and the only member of her family in law enforcement. About half of her siblings still live in the Sequim area, she said. She was home-schooled and after completing her high school course work, she attended Skagit Valley College in Mount Vernon. She is pursuing an associate’s degree in technical arts and criminal justice. Powers said that while growing up, she did not aspire to a law enforcement career.

PORT ANGELES — The United Way of Clallam County’s 73rd annual fund drive has reached nearly one quarter of its $950,000 goal, organizers said. Campaign proceeds totaled $222,300 as of last Tuesday, according to a news release. This is approximately the same total as this time last year, the United Way said. Campaign co-chair Paul McHugh of Sequim said that some areas, especially in Sequim, have reported significant increases over last year. Sequim real estate agents under the leadership of Nell Clausen increased their giving by $2,000. Sequim School district employees, chaired by Patsene Dashiell, increased their giving by $1,000 for a total of $20,745. Donations by employees of businesses throughout the county have totaled $36,600 plus another $35,000 has been given as business donations. McHugh and his co-chair Norm Schaaf agree that the campaign is on track given the late

Both men attribute success of the campaign so far to the extra outreach of the United Way board members and campaign volunteers and the support of the businesses, employees and individuals of Clallam County. The fund drive runs through the end of the year. Total results will be known in January or February, the United Way said. “Many statewide and national firms don’t report their results to each county until every location has reported to their headquarters, McHugh said. “And many retirees and professionals make their gifts at the end of the year,” he added.

Everett boy, 11, shot, critically hurt EVERETT — The Snohomish County sheriff’s office said an 11 year-old boy was critically injured after he was shot Sunday, possibly by an older sibling. Deputies called to the scene Sunday afternoon near Everett initially searched for an unknown assailant. But authorities said that further investigation revealed that the boy might have been shot accidently by an older sibling. Detectives are working to determine what happened. The boy was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
DNA testing PASCO — A man convicted of killing a Superior Court judge with a pipe bomb in 1974 is ask-
ing a court to allow DNA testing on evidence from his case. The Tri-City Herald reported that attorneys with the Innocence Project Northwest are representing Ricky Anthony Young. He is serving a minimum 77-year sentence for first-degree murder in the death of Benton-Franklin Superior Court Judge James Lawless. The judge opened a small package and triggered a pipe bomb that killed him in his court chambers on June 3, 1974. Two partial fingerprints matching Young were discovered by federal agents underneath tape on a piece of paper from the package. In their motion, Young’s attorneys wrote that DNA testing wasn’t available at the time of his trial 40 years ago. They said it has the potential to exonerate him and identify the true perpetrator of the crime. The Associated Press

OMC feels financially strong enough BY JAMES CASEY PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — Olympic Medical Center is in good condition — considering the condition it’s in. That’s to say, although the present financial prognosis is good, OMC remains a small rural facility that relies heavily on government health care payments in an increasingly competitive environment. Eighty-three percent of OMC’s reimbursement comes from government sources — 60 percent from Medicare, which itself is beset by politics, repeated policy changes and regulations that shift like a kaleidoscope. Yet the Clallam County Hospital District 2 — OMC’s public owner-operator — is constructing a new medical office building for $14.2 million, preparing to remodel its CT scanning space for $614,000, drawing up a $750,000 plan to expand its Sequim Medical Campus, and budgeting more than $4 million for new medical equipment. The bottom line of next year’s budget: Net income of $4.765 million. The goals of the spending and expansion, according to hospital CEO Eric Lewis: ■ Provide services and facilities locally, not send patients to Silverdale or Seattle. That, said Lewis, means being better than the bigger competitors. ■ Provide local jobs — more than 1,200 of them — to retain revenue within Clallam County. Lewis is especially proud that OMC laid off no employees during the recent recession — perhaps the only hospital of its size in the region not to do so — although it didn’t fill every vacancy that occurred. “When we have tough economic times, we don’t head toward layoffs as our solution,” he said. “We try to prioritize maintaining local employment.” ■ Maintain local control of a public medical center governed by seven elected directors who meet and make decisions in public at meetings held twice each month. So, does OMC want to become too responsive to its Clallam County clientele and too well staffed and equipped to lose patients and payments to larger hospitals — perhaps even too big to buy? Yes, Lewis said, noting that other small rural medical centers have cut back on staff and services until they have disappeared or been absorbed by larger organizations (see breakout).

The Olympic Medical Physicians primary care clinic at Eighth and Cherry streets in Port Angeles is part of an expansion of services provided by Olympic Medical Center. clinic in Port Angeles by the end of 2016. ■ Starting an outpatient surgery center in Sequim in 2018. ■ Adding a palliative (pain-relief) program for end-of-life patients in hospice beds by the end of 2017. Not that it will come without costs. Commissioners recently levied a 1 percent increase to their property tax revenue, which otherwise would have dropped to 0.2 percent due to low inflation. The boost will produce $39,700 in 2016 that OMC already has budgeted for uncompensated care. Budget assumptions also include raising charges 5 percent for inpatients, and 4 percent for outpatients and clinic clients.
2-year transformation Chief Financial Julie Rukstad’s third-quarter year-to-date financial presentation two weeks ago was positive. Although surgeries declined 3 percent from 2014, clinic visits climbed 14 percent, CT scans rose 18 percent, oncology procedures increased 29 percent, and home health visits ballooned 40 percent from Sept. 30, 2014, to the same day this year. Operating income rose to $6.855 million, 304 percent above levels budgeted for 2015, while bad debt and charity dropped $2.116 million, or 37 percent, largely thanks to increased coverage by the Affordable Care Act. Perhaps most telling was the difference in the district’s total margin, which in mid-2013 had plunged more than 4 percent below breaking even, but rebounded to nearly 6 percent in the black in September. In the middle of 2013, OMC had enough cash on hand to stay open only 69 days. As of Sept. 30, it could pay its bills for the next four months

The figures seemed to lend realism to the strategic plan’s vision: “Olympic Medical Center will remain a viable community-owned and operated medical provider and earn its place as our community’s first choice for quality, compassionate and convenient health care.”
SARC’s mistake Lewis cited the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center, which he said did not alter its business plan but relied on taxpayer support — which voters repeatedly denied. SARC has closed and could reopen only if an agreement is made that the Olympic Peninsula YMCA will take over management, under the auspices of the SARC board. “SARC tried to stay the same,” Lewis said. “If OMC stays the same, we will not survive. “We need to be better; we need a lot of innovation; we need to improve our service and our quality; and we’re really doing that.” While many other small health care institutions drop services and cut staff, OMC doubles down on growing too successful to need rescuing by a corporate or faith-based organization, too good to lose patients to Seattle-area institutions and too loyal to Clallam County residents to forfeit their support. In 2008, voters in the hospital district that stretches from the west end of Lake Crescent to Gardiner boosted its property tax from 11 cents to 44 cents per $1,000 of real property’s assessed value. The vote was 11,292

to 9,811. “There’s a saying that you can keep cutting back until you close the doors,” Lewis said. “But if you earn people’s business and grow, you’ll be
much more successful.”

HOURLY & OVERNIGHT BOARDING
PORT ANGELES — Olympic Medical Center faces a chronic shortage of primary care physicians, the family doctors who form the basis of the health care system. OMC’s solution seems counterintuitive: Aid and abet its competitors. Some examples: ■ The medical center has helped the Jamestown S’Klallam Family Health Clinic — which already shares its Sequim Medical Campus — to recruit family practitioners. ■ It lent critical support to the former Family Medicine of Port Angeles’ efforts to become the North Olympic Health care Network, a federally qualified clinic. The backing was essential for the clinic to receive the federal designation, which makes it eligible for enhanced Medicare payments and a residency program. Such cooperation isn’t the rule in other locations where hospitals and federal health centers compete, sometimes bitterly, said Eric Lewis, OMC’s chief executive officer. “In most communities, it’s just a slugfest,” he said. “We don’t want to go in that direction.” ■ OMC will support Volunteers in Medicine of the Olympics’ free clinic, 819 Georgiana St., Port Angeles, with $158,550 in services and medications, and the Dungeness Valley Health & Wellness Center, 77 N. Fifth Ave., Sequim, with $129,150, mostly in X-ray and laboratory services, in 2016. The collaboration also benefits OMC, Lewis said. The free clinics relieve pressure on the hospital’s emergency room, he said, while offering continuing care to patients that the emergency room’s one-time treatment protocol cannot provide. ■ OMC partners with Swedish Medical Center of Seattle, which helps reverse the flow of patients across Puget Sound by providing big-city specialists in sleep medicine, neurology, and cardiology who practice in Port Angeles and Sequim, Lewis said. Others are available via telemedicine — realtime personal consultations over the Internet. The partnership increases local employment, Lewis said, by letting patients access care locally.
571350740
The hospital bought the clinic for $1.6 million, remodeled it to Medicare standards for another $900,000, and after 10 months of negotiations that were kibitzed by a citizens group, hired nine of its doctors at salaries and supplements nearing $200,000 apiece. Now, Olympic Medical Physicians, the corporation created after Virginia Mason pulled out, occupies the original clinic and a second facility at Eighth and Cherry streets. They function as health care portals, receiving patients they might send on to specialists, radiologists, and lab analysts. Lewis makes no apologies for OMC’s moneymaking services, saying they support the cost of a 24/7 hospital that’s also a Level 3 trauma center, the only one between Aberdeen and Bremerton. The 68-bed inpatient facility seldom operates at capacity. Thanksgiving was an especially expensive day when a full complement of lab technicians, nurses, radiology techs, general and orthopedic surgeons, emergency room doctors, physicians and, yes, housekeepers were on hand at 939 Caroline St., in Port Angeles. Once, Medicare and Medicaid underwrote those costs, he said, but now rising expenses have exceeded payments. “We need to look to outpatient services to help spread out those fixed costs,” Lewis said about such amenities as the Sleep Center, cardiac care services, medical resonance imaging, Olympic Cancer Center, and other specialty facilities. “We are trying through service and quality and programs and convenience to earn people’s business in Virginia who?

Patients of those hospitals might face restrictions in reproductive care and assistance under the state’s Death with Dignity law, according to the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services, written by the United States Council of Catholic Bishops in 2009. Even OMC’s Seattle partner, Swedish Medical Center, has an affiliation with Providence Health and Services, and OMC partners directly with Providence for the Epic electronic health care system and the MyChart patient communication network. The relationships, however, impose no religious restrictions on OMC.

PORT ANGELES — Is it possible to plunge headlong to the South Pole, then circle back up to Africa to catch a buzz? Absolutely, Sequim resident Ingrid Nixon figures. She’ll light out for Antarctica and six other blueplanet locations, all inside of 75 minutes, this Wednesday. Traveling on the wings of her words, Nixon will bring anybody who wants to come, with a 7 p.m. departure from the Raymond Carver Room at the Port Angeles Library. “Around the World in Seven Stories” is the name of Nixon’s family-friendly program, to which admission is free at the library, 2210 S. Peabody St. Nixon is both a world traveler and a student earning a master’s in storytelling from East Tennessee State University. Wednesday evening’s event, sponsored by the Story People of Clallam County, is a milestone marking completion of her degree’s practical section.
Bring food donation While there’s no charge, guests are encouraged to bring a few nonperishable food items for the Port Angeles Food Bank. In return, they will be entered in drawings for copies of Nixon’s CD titled “Grimm’s with a Twist.” These are Grimm’s fairy tales given a “delightfully dark” flavor,
KEVIN CLEMENT
Storyteller Ingrid Nixon, here on the subantarctic South Georgia Island in October, will come to the Port Angeles Library to share tales from around the globe this Wednesday. Nixon said. There’s nothing like getting up there with just your voice and memory, added the storyteller, who grew up in Port Angeles. She’s twice been a featured teller at the city’s Forest Storytelling Festival, including at the 21st annual gathering this October. “Every time I’ve been to the microphone,” Nixon said, “I’ve walked away a better teller.” A Grimm’s fairy tale could be one of her seven stories from around the world. But Nixon, whose background is Finnish, might have a story from Finland instead. She’ll decide soon. What she knows for sure: A tale from the Tehuelche people of Patagonia about the origin of the Southern Cross will be on the itinerary, as will “Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People’s Ears,” an African tale. “I love this story. It is the
first story I ever told in a festival setting,” Nixon said of “Mosquitoes.” This artist’s stories are informed by nearly 30 years working in the expedition travel industry.
Visited all continents She’s visited all seven continents and has been to Antarctica more than 25 times. She also served as head naturalist at Denali and Mount Rainier national parks before moving to the relatively mild Dungeness Valley with her husband, Kevin Clement. The bottom of the world — just one epic trip — is yet another destination Wednesday night, in Nixon’s story of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, led by Otto Nordenskjold, of 190104. “I’ll tell a brief version of what happened,” she promised, adding that the
account is “jaw-dropping.” Nixon also will weave in a few anecdotes about her own travels — such as one about how she learned to put on a sari. She hopes to spark her listeners’ travel memories, for still more story-sharing. “The Story People of Clallam County are a really supportive group,” Nixon added. The nonprofit organization holds monthly story swaps at the Port Angeles Library, the Liars’ Contest in June and the Forest Storytelling Festival at Peninsula College, which draws tellers from across the continent, every fall. “This incredible spectrum of storytelling,” she said, “is not available everywhere.” To find out more about the swaps and other activities, see ClallamStoryPeople.org or phone board president Erran Sharpe at 360460-6594.
Rattle, shake of removing metal sheets to begin BY PAUL GOTTLIEB PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — An echoing rattle will reverberate across the daytime cityscape this week as workers complete the pump-station portion — and final phase — of the estimated $45 million combined sewer overflow project. Workers will mobilize today and by Tuesday they will begin shaking and pulling tooth-like metal sheets that were noisily pile-driven into the hard earth at the western end of Front Street, near where the thoroughfare turns into Marine Drive, city Engineer Mike Puntenney said last week.
Exactly when the cacophony begins “just depends on how long it takes to get set up,” he said. “Once they get started, we are expecting it to be a weeklong operation.” Puntenney said traffic impacts will be minimal since the $15.2 million Stage 2 segment of the combined sewer overflow project, called the CSO project, is completed. It will cap a six-year overall project that Puntenney said should be completed by mid-July. Some solace might be gained by the sound the residents nearby won’t hear: the deafening clang of metal on metal that issued forth from
the pile-driving of those corrugated sheets this spring, Puntenney said. A 255-ton-force vibratory hammer quivered downward then at 1,650 shakes a minute.
Just shaking This time around, there won’t be the pounding. “This one sounds like it kind of rattles,” Puntenney said. “The difference here is that basically what they have to do is shake them loose and basically they pull them out the rest of the way, which is a lot simpler and a lot less noisy than when they are putting them in.” The sheets, which took longer to pound than expected because of the

while its innards were installed. The extraction will allow construction of the 3,200-square-foot, 21-foottall building that should be completed by summer 2016, Puntenney said. It will replace a pump station slated for demolition across Front Street from the new structure. The project contractor is TEK Construction Inc. of Bellingham. While pile driving, workers encountered dense, hard soil that caused a delay in completion beyond the endof-April target. “The contractor is probably about two months behind schedule,” Puntenney said, adding the final cost is
expected to fall within the contingency allowed for the project. He said the city is still negotiating the final amount of the construction management contract. Once the pump station is completed, all that will remain of the overall project is installation of a manhole in the vicinity of Railroad Avenue and Laurel Street. That will be “a relatively quick operation,” Puntenney said. The CSO project — pump station, sewer mains and all — is being built under a 2006 agreed order with the state Department of Ecology that will produce the priciest public works effort in the city’s history.

A letter from Saudi Arabia RIYADH, Saudi Arabia SAUDI ARABIA IS a country that is easier to write about from afar, where you can just tee off on the place as a source of the most austere, antipluralistic version of Islam — the most extreme versions of which have been embraced by the Islamic State group, or ISIS. What messes me up is when I Thomas L. go there and Friedman meet people I really like and I see intriguing countertrends. Last week, I came here looking for clues about the roots of ISIS, which has drawn some 1,000 Saudi youth to its ranks. I won’t pretend to have penetrated the mosques of bearded young men, steeped in Salafist/ Wahhabi Islam, who don’t speak English and from whence ISIS draws recruits. I know, though, that the conservative clergy is still part of the ruling bargain here — some of the most popular Twitter voices are religious firebrands — and those religious leaders still run the justice system and sentence liberal bloggers to flogging, and they’re still in denial about how frustrated the world is with the ideology they’ve exported. But I also ran into something I didn’t know: Something is stirring in this society. This is not your grandfather’s Saudi Arabia. “Actually, it’s not even my father’s Saudi Arabia anymore — it is not even my generation’s Saudi Arabia anymore,” the country’s 52-year-old foreign minister, Adel al-Jubeir, said to me. For instance, I was hosted by the King Salman Youth Center, an impressive education foundation that, among other things, has been translating Khan Academy videos into Arabic. It invited me to give a lecture on how big technological forces are affecting the workplace. I didn’t know what to expect, but more than 500 people showed up, filling the hall, roughly half of them women who sat in their own sections garbed in traditional black robes. There was blowback on Twitter as to why a columnist who’s been critical of Saudi Arabia’s export of Salafist ideology should be given any platform. But the reception to my talk (I was not paid) was warm, and the questions from the audience were
probing and insightful about how to prepare their kids for the 21st century. It appears that conservatives here have a lot more competition now for the future identity of this country, thanks to several converging trends. First, most of Saudi Arabia is younger than 30. Second, a decade ago, King Abdullah said he’d pay the cost for any Saudi who wanted to study abroad. That’s resulted in 200,000 Saudis studying overseas today (including 100,000 in America), and now 30,000 a year are coming back with Western degrees and joining the labor force. You now see women in offices everywhere, and several senior officials whispered to me how often the same conservatives who decry women in the workplace quietly lobby them to get their daughters into good schools or jobs. Finally, just as this youth bulge exploded here, so did Twitter and YouTube — a godsend for a closed society. Young Saudis are using Twitter to talk back to the government and to converse with one another on the issues of the day, producing more than 50 million tweets per month. What’s been missing was a leadership ready to channel this energy into reform. Enter the new King Salman’s son, Mohammed bin Salman, the 30-year-old deputy crown prince, who, along with the moderate crown prince, Mohammed bin Nayef, has embarked on a mission to transform how Saudi Arabia is governed. I spent an evening with Mohammed bin Salman at his office, and he wore me out. With staccato energy bursts, he laid out in detail his plans. His main projects are an online government dashboard that will transparently display the goals of each ministry, with monthly KPIs — key performance indicators — for which each minister will be held accountable. His idea is to get the whole country engaged in government performance. Ministers tell you: Since Mohammed arrived, big decisions that took two years to make now happen in two weeks. “The key challenges are our overdependence on oil and the way we prepare and spend our budgets,” Mohammed explained. His plan is to reduce subsidies to wealthy Saudis, who won’t get cheap gas, electricity or water anymore, possibly establish a valueadded tax and sin taxes on cigarettes and sugary drinks, and both
of Information. As for ISIS, Mohammed disputed that it is a product of Saudi religious thinking, arguing that it was in fact a counterreaction to the brutalization of Iraqi Sunnis by the Iranian-directed Shiite-led government in Baghdad of Nouri al-Maliki and to the crushing of Syrian Sunnis by the Iranianbacked government in Damascus. “There was no [ISIS] before America departed from Iraq. And then America leaves and Iran enters, and then ISIS appears,” he said. He complained that at a time when ISIS is blowing up mosques in Saudi Arabia in an effort to destabilize the regime, the world is accusing Saudi Arabia of inspiring privatize and tax mines and undeThe new health minister was ISIS: “The [ISIS] terrorists are tellveloped lands in ways that can the most important CEO in the ing me that I am not a Muslim. unlock billions — so even if oil falls country, Khalid al-Falih, who was And the world is telling me I am a to $30 a barrel, Riyadh will have running the national oil company, terrorist.” enough revenues to keep building Aramco. This is the legacy, though, of the country without exhausting its Streamlining government, decades of one part of the Saudi savings.

I’m always on the lookout for pointers. That said, there’s no happy-mometer to push under someone’s tongue to measure contentment with scientific confidence. So some skepticism is warranted. Of course, the researchers are assessing what they call “subjective well-being.” That’s how individuals regard their happiness level, not what the rest of the world thinks it should be. We all know people who are happiest when they are complaining.
And of course, sense of happiness is culturally influenced. One study was titled “Are Scandinavians Happier than Asians?” Most of us believe, at least at times, that money by itself does not buy happiness. We’ve seen America’s most elite shopping streets — from Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills to Worth Avenue in Palm Beach to Madison Avenue in New York — populated by dissatisfied mugs, fancy shopping bags in tow. Anyhow, a new study finds Americans in their 30s or older less likely to say they’re happy than their parents did at the same age. Teens and younger adults, meanwhile, report being happier than older Americans said they were years back. What could be behind this? “Our current culture of pervasive technology, attention-seeking and fleeting relationships is exciting and stimulating for teens and young adults but may not provide the stability and sense of commu-

nity that mature adults require,” explains Jean Twenge, the San Diego State University psychologist who led the study. A parenting and educational focus on raising children’s selfesteem with praise, ribbons and trophies may have also created an unrealistic expectation of big things to come. When the less glamorous truth begins to dawn at maturity, the house of rosy assumptions may start coming down. As Tim Bono, a 32-year-old psychologist at Washington University in St. Louis, told The Associated Press, “My generation has been bathed in messages of how great we are and how anything is possible for us.” Discovering our limitations can be depressing. For those who make peace with it, though, it can be liberating. Money does play a role in perceptions of happiness, but mainly in its role as a means of comparison. It’s been often observed that
poor people “moving up” economically tend to be happier than far richer people seeing themselves on the down escalator. Rising income inequality — and the media explosion waving it in the faces of not only the struggling middle class but the “merely affluent” — is often cited in current happiness studies. As someone once said, inadequacy is the birthright of every American. And our fanatically competitive culture demands constant comparisons with others. Several prominent writers have quipped that it is not enough to succeed; one’s friends must fail. Many assume that crime rises during economic downturns, but that’s not necessarily the case. In 2008, right after the great economic meltdown, the New York police noticed that crime rates, already on a downward slope, were continuing to decline. How could that be happening at a time of double-digit unemployment?

The answer is that much crime is committed not out of economic desperation but out of the sense that one has been unfairly denied the opportunity to succeed. In tough economic times, the unemployed and the bankrupt have lots of company. Of course, having company — “community” is the better word — is key to well-being at every income level. So is getting over one’s sense of entitlement, in other words, being content with what we have. It may be ultimately pointless to ask, “Will we ever find happiness?” We just have to learn to be happy without it.

PAPD earns state accreditation BY ARWYN RICE PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles Police Department has earned a state award and accreditation for professional confidence and standards. The department received the Law Enforcement Agency Award on Nov. 18 — an accreditation earned by Washington state police departments by meeting 130 exacting standards. Among those 130 standards is for all staff and officers to be current in all training, and for the department to track any and all “use of force” on both a monthly and annual basis, said Deputy Chief Brian Smith, who oversaw the department’s efforts to earn the honor. Five departments, including Port Angeles, received their awards during the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police Conference at Lake Chelan. A plaque showing the department’s achievement is on display in the lobby of the police department at Port Angeles City Hall, 321 E. Fifth St. Only 48 of the 260 law enforcement agencies in Washington state have earned the four-year accreditation, according to the association.

The first two accreditations were allowed to lapse after their four years were ended, Smith said. “It’s actually more work [than initial accreditation],” Smith said. It is harder to renew, due to having to show that the department had met the standards for the entire four years between accreditations, including keeping up with changes between the examinations by visiting examiners, he said.

Weasel family Fishers belong to a family that includes weasels, mink and otters. They eat small mammals, including snowshoe hares, mountain beavers and porcupines, are found only in North America, in low-to-mid elevation canopy forests. The state is getting animals from British Columbia because they are closely related to fishers that were historically in Washington, and it’s a healthy population close to the state, Chestnut said. Trapping season began Nov. 1 in British Columbia. Chestnut, Lewis and others are waiting for enough fishers to be captured before traveling north to bring the animals back. The fishers will be examined to make sure they’re healthy and disease-free, and they’ll be equipped with radio transmitters so biologists can track them for about two years. “We will put them in the center of a lot of good habitat,” Lewis said. The first 25 fishers will be relocated in national forest south of Mount Rainier with the final 15 animals to be released within the park. The goal is to relocate them in late fall or early winter to give females time to establish dens. Fishers were listed by the state as an endangered species in 1998. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service last fall proposed listing the West Coast population of fishers as a threatened species under the federal Endangered Species Act.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the National Park Service, Conservation Northwest and others are leading the effort. “We have a chance to correct a thing that we didn’t manage correctly a long time ago. We can restore a species,” said Jeffrey Lewis, a WDFW wildlife biologist. The first fisher reintroduction in the state was undertaken in Olympic National Park in 2008. About 90 fishers were reintroduced over several years, and those animals have successfully reproduced. Last May, park officials approved a plan to partner with the state to re-establish the fisher to the two national parks. The goal is
to rebuild the population so fishers can survive and reproduce on their own, as well as to improve the ecosystem. “When biodiversity is lost from an ecosystem, that system is less able to withstand change and can become less resilient,” said Tara Chestnut, a Mount Rainier park ecologist.

SEATTLE — A weasellike predator that disappeared from Washington state decades ago will soon be reintroduced to the Cascade Mountains. State and federal wildlife officials are preparing to re-establish fishers into Mount Rainier and North Cascades national parks and surrounding areas as part of an effort to restore the state-listed endangered animals to their previous range. The dark brown forestdwelling mammals historically were found throughout much of the forested areas of the state. But they declined in numbers due to overtrapping in the 1800s and early 1900s, and the loss of forest habitats. Fishers are believed to have disappeared from the state in the mid-1900s. In coming weeks, a team of wildlife officials will take fishers captured from British Columbia and relocate them to the southwest Cascades, including Mount Rainier National Park and Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The plan is to reintroduce 40 fishers a year for two years. If all goes well, officials will begin relocating additional fishers to the northwest Cascades, as early as fall 2017. Each region would get 80 animals, for a total of 160.

B Pac-12
Cardinal, Trojans rematch for title BY JOHN MARSHALL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Southern California’s Season was on the verge of derailing. The Trojans lost two of their first three Pac-12 games and coach Steve Sarkisian was fired, leaving the program in disarray. Instead of seeing their season spiral out of control, the 24th-ranked Trojans rallied around interim coach Clay Helton, earning a spot in the Pac-12 championship game after beating rival UCLA 40-21 on Saturday. Helton appears wholly uninterested in spending even one minute of the next week publicly politicking for the full-time head coaching position at USC. Helton’s job still might turn out to be temporary, but it also isn’t finished. “I think about the seniors and the roller coaster ride they have gone through, for them to be able to call themselves Pac-12 South champions is a victory,” Helton said. USC finished the regular season 5-2 under Helton, winning five of its last six and roaring back to win the division. Counting the Trojans’ Las Vegas Bowl win under Helton two years ago, the interim coach is 6-2 at USC, with his only losses on the road to Notre Dame and Oregon. “It has been since 2008 that a USC football player was able to call themselves a champion,” Helton said. “For this team to leave their mark, not only now but for years to come, I can’t tell you how proud I am of them.” While USC (8-4, 6-3) won the South Division to earn in its first trip to the Pac-12 title game, No. 7 Stanford is back in familiar territory — and playing for something much bigger. The Cardinal (9-2, 8-1) got the season off to a shaky start by losing to Northwestern, but worked itself back into the College Football Playoff picture by dominating the Pac-12 North. Stanford slipped up with a home loss to Oregon on Nov. 14, but still won the North for the third time in four seasons. The Cardinal followed that up with a 38-36 win over Notre Dame on a last-second field goal on Saturday, thrusting themselves back into the CFP conversation while knocking the Irish out. “We got the ball, drove down and it was almost like it was meant to be,” said Stanford kicker Conrad Ukropina, whose 45-yard field goal on the game’s last play was the difference. Stanford and USC met earlier this season, a 41-31 victory by the Cardinal on Sept. 19. Here’s a few things to look for in Saturday’s game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California:
Pirates split pair at tourney Peninsula opens with easy victory, but poor shooting dooms title shot PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
MOUNT VERNON — The Peninsula College men’s basketball team continued it’s upand-down start to the season by splitting two games to open play at the Skagit Valley Turkey Tournament. Hot-and-cold shooting performances told the tale in each game. Against Northwest Indian College in Friday’s opening round, the Pirates shot a blistering 61.9 percent from the

team-high four assists for Peninsula. Other Pirates who reached double figures in scoring were Deonte Dixon, who had 15 points and Darrion Daniels with 11. Peninsula was taken down by Big Bend 79-68 in a rematch of each team’s season opener. The Pirates won that game 95-86 at home. Peninsula shot 38.5 percent in Saturday’s rematch, including hitting on just 10 of 30
shots in the first half to trail 45-25 at the break. The Pirates trimmed the Vikings’ lead in the second half but couldn’t complete the comeback. Dixon led all scorers with 27 points, connecting on 10 of 24 shots, including 4 of 12 3-point shots. Daniels and Callaghan each added 11 points. Callaghan also had four rebounds, four assists and two steals. Peninsula faced Portland late Sunday in the third-place game. The Pirates will host the First Federal Pirates Classic beginning Saturday.
Hawks’ win shootout Wilson has 5 TD passes BY TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Russell Wilson’s career-best day proved better than a record-setting performance by Ben Roethlisberger. Wilson threw a career-high five touchdown passes, including two TDs to Doug Baldwin in the final 8:12, and the Seattle Seahawks held on for a wild 39-30 win over Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Wilson threw three touchdowns to Baldwin, including an 80-yard catch-and-run score with 2:01 left after Pittsburgh had trimmed Seattle’s lead to 32-30. Baldwin caught a crossing route on third-and-10 at the 20, broke two tackles and raced for the clinching score. Baldwin caught a 30-yard TD midway through the fourth quarter after Pittsburgh had taken a 27-26 lead.

Lesser-tier bowl for Washington BY CHRISTIAN CAPLE MCCLATCHY NEWS SERVICE
The Committee is watching Stanford’s win over Notre Dame will certainly move the Cardinal up from No. 9 in the next CFP rankings. It still may not be enough. Should Stanford beat USC, it still will need some help. Oklahoma appears to be in good shape because it doesn’t have to play in a conference title game and the winner of the Big Ten championship between Iowa and Michigan State would figure to be a lock. That leaves No. 1 Clemson and No. 2 Alabama. If the Tigers lose to North Carolina in the ACC title game and the Crimson Tide fall to Florida in the SEC title game, the Cardinal could make a case for being in the playoff.

Washington quarterback Jake Browning drops back to pass during the Apple Cup win over Washington State.
SEATTLE — A victory in Friday’s Apple Cup game against Washington State, Jake Browning said, carried particular significance. And not just because of the rivalry. “The Apple Cup is big, but there were other things at stake, too — bowl eligibility and sending our seniors off with their last game at Husky Stadium,” the Washington Huskies freshman quarterback said. “I think all those weighed into making it a big game.” Because they won that game — a 45-10 blowout that assured a 6-6 final record and the bowl eligibility the Huskies so desired — they’ll get to play another. They’re just not sure where yet.
There are 10 bowl-eligible teams in the Pac-12 this season, and only seven bowl games with conference affiliation — meaning that Washington, at 6-6 and as the last team to qualify, almost certainly will be headed to a bowl game that is not affiliated with the Pac-12. That makes their bowl destination a little more tricky to project. There are seemingly several options. A representative from the Independence Bowl (Dec. 26, Shreveport, Louisiana) attended the Apple Cup, indicating that game is at least somewhat interested in inviting Washington. The Independence Bowl is a lower-tier game affiliated with the ACC and SEC. TURN

Cougars hoping for Holiday Bowl bid BY JACOB THORPE MCCLATCHY NEWS SERVICE
PULLMAN — The luxury of looking ahead to the next opponent is not afforded to losers of the Apple Cup, and the Washington State Cougars and their fans must stew in the indignity of their 45-10 loss to Washington for at least another week. But the sun also rises, and unlike the losers of so many past Apple Cups there will be a new dawn this season for the Cougars. Once the conference championship games have been played and the playoff bracket determined, some bowl game or other will send the Cougars an invitation, which they will accept. And because Washington State (8-4, 6-3 Pac-12) was one
of the better teams in its conference this year, the Cougars will be rewarded with a moderately prestigious bowl destination, and maybe even a good one. It is still impossible to decipher precisely where the Cougars will be sent. There are those who will try, and even ask Mike Leach if he has some insight into where his team will end up. “I have no earthly idea,” said Leach, succinctly. “And quite honestly, the bowl people don’t, either.” Leach is correct — there are scenarios that must unfold. Who will win the Pac-12 championship game? Can Oregon or USC sneak THE ASSOCIATED PRESS into a New Year’s Six bowl Washington State running back Gerard Wicks carries game?

Richt, Georgia parting ways THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Mark Richt stepped down as Georgia’s coach on Sunday in what was called a “mutual” decision but looked like a firing. Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity said in a statement that he met with Richt on Sunday morning “to discuss the status of our football program.” McGarity said the two “mutually agreed that he would step down as head coach and would have the opportunity to accept other duties and responsibilities at UGA following the bowl game. Richt was 145-51 with two SEC championships. Only Vince Dooley (201) won more games at Georgia. Richt, strongly religious, was respected for his integrity but criticized for failing to keep pace in the SEC’s recent string of seven straight national championships. Georgia’s last SEC championship was in 2005.

Brown finished with six catches for 51 yards, but the Steelers couldn’t overcome four turnovers. Roethlisberger ignored the noise of the “12th Man” and put together the best passing performance ever against the Seahawks. His 456 yards topped the 455 of Philip Rivers in 2010, but wasn’t enough for Pittsburgh to keep pace with Cincinnati in the AFC North. Seattle kept pace in the NFC wild-card race, but suffered a significant loss with Jimmy Graham injuring his patella tendon in his right knee in the fourth quarter.
Graham immediately signaled for trainers and was in significant discomfort on the ground. Trainers placed an air cast on Graham’s right leg. Wilson capped that drive with a 9-yard TD pass to Kearse, but the lead lasted all of 26 seconds. Roethlisberger scrambled from pressure and hit Wheaton behind Lane for a 69-yard score and a 27-26 lead with 11:40 remaining. Back came Seattle with Wilson and Baldwin connecting on a 30-yard TD with 8:12 left to put the Seahawks back in front, only to see Roethlisberger put together one more drive.
Roethlisberger drove the Steelers inside the Seattle 10 with less than 4 minutes remaining, but the drive stalled when he was tackled at the 4 on a third-down scramble. Rather than go for the lead, Mike Tomlin chose for a 22-yard field goal from Chris Boswell and a two-point deficit with 3 minutes left. The move backfired. On thirdand-10 at the 20, Wilson found Baldwin on a crossing route and raced for the longest pass play of his career. Baldwin six catches for 145 yards.

Palmer’s late TD run helps Cardinals avoid upset THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Carson Palmer ran for a go-ahead 8-yard touchdown with 2:28 left and tumbled after spiking the ball in a telling story of his day, and the Arizona Cardinals squeaked by the San Francisco 49ers 19-13 on Sunday for their fifth straight win and first road victory in the series since September 2008. Moments earlier, Palmer fell backward as he released the ball and completed a 34-yard pass to J.J. Nelson to put Arizona on the 1. Chandler Catanzaro missed the extra-point try, and Blaine Gabbert and the 49ers had one more chance with 2:21 left. Anquan Boldin caught an 18-yard pass on fourth-and-20 to clinch the win for Arizona. David Johnson ran for a 1-yard touchdown in the third for the Cardinals, who have nine wins in their first 11 games in consecutive seasons for the first time in franchise history.
Vikings 20, Falcons 10 ATLANTA — Adrian Peterson ran for 158 yards and a pair of touchdowns, Matt Ryan threw two more interceptions, and the Minnesota Vikings beat the slumping Atlanta Falcons 20-10 on Sunday. Bouncing back from a 30-13 loss to Green Bay, Minnesota (8-3) jumped ahead on Peterson’s 1-yard run in the opening quarter, and clinched it when he got loose on a 35-yard scamper down the sideline with 4:15 remaining in the game. Atlanta (6-5) has lost five of its past six, including four straight, and is in danger of becoming one of the few teams in NFL history to start 5-0 and miss the playoffs. Ryan was already facing plenty of scrutiny after
throwing three interceptions the previous week against Indianapolis. He was picked off two more times by the Vikings, the second a crucial turnover in the end zone after an apparent go-ahead touchdown was wiped out by a penalty.
NFL Roundup Houston Texans got off to a fast start for a change and it helped them cruise to a 24-6 win over the New Orleans Saints. Brian Hoyer was 21 of 27 for 205 yards, two touchdowns and an interception and Houston’s defense stifled Drew Brees in the victory. The Texans (6-5) have won four games in a row for the first time since winning six straight in 2012. New Orleans (4-7) dropped its third straight on a day when the team didn’t score a touchdown for the first time since 2005, and Brees’ streak of games with a touchdown pass was snapped at 45. Brees was 25 of 44 for 228 yards.
Bengals 31, Rams 7 CINCINNATI — Andy Dalton threw three touchdown passes — two of them to A.J. Green — and the Cincinnati Bengals ended their brief skid with a 31-7 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. After dropping a pair of prime-time games, the Bengals (9-2) were back in sync against a team that struggles to score. The Bengals’ 31 points equaled the second-most against St. Louis this season. The Rams (4-7) have dropped four in a row, in large part because their offense ranks last in the league in passing. Nick Foles returned as the starter and threw three interceptions, including one that Leon Hall returned 19 yards for a touchdown. Dalton was 20 of 27 for 233 yards with touchdowns of 9 and 18 yards to Green. Tyler Eifert also had his NFL-leading 12th touchdown catch.
Colts 25, Buccaneers 12 INDIANAPOLIS -- Matt Hasselbeck threw for 315 yards and two touchdowns and Adam Vinatieri made four more field goals, leading the Indianapolis Colts to a 25-12 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Spencer Ware ran for 114 245 yards and a touchdown, but was sacked five times -- four coming during a second half in which the Bucs were shut out. Winston’s team had won two in a row. Indy took the lead for good on Hasselbeck’s 9-yard TD pass to T.Y. Hilton midway through the third quarter. It extended the margin to 19-12 on Vinatieri’s fourth field goal. Hasselbeck and Hilton hooked up again in the fourth for a 3-yard touchdown that made it 25-12.
the Redskins held on to beat the New York Giants 20-14 Sunday, pulling into a tie for the NFC East lead. The Redskins and Giants are both 5-6.

Tyrod Taylor had 291 yards passing and three touchdowns for Buffalo (5-6), but he was mostly held in check in the second half. So was Sammie Watkins, who had all six catches for 158 yards and his two touchdowns over the first 30 minutes. The Bills had a chance for a tying touchdown when they took over at their own 10 with 3:25 left, but the Chiefs stopped them on fourth-and-9 with 2:16 to go
to seal it.
Jets 38, Dolphins 20 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Ryan Fitzpatrick threw four touchdown passes, two to Brandon Marshall, and the New York Jets routed the Miami Dolphins 38-20 Sunday to gain some traction in the AFC wild-card race. Fitzpatrick also connected with Devin Smith, the rookie’s first NFL touchdown, and Eric Decker in New York’s fourth win in the last five meetings with Miami. The Jets (6-5) had lost four of their last five overall. Miami (4-7) now has dropped four of five and is 3-4 under interim coach Dan Campbell, who took over after Joe Philbin was fired following the Dolphins’ lopsided loss to the Jets in London. Fitzpatrick and Marshall were far too good for Miami as Fitzpatrick passed for 277 yards and Marshall had nine receptions for 131 yards.
Chargers 31, Jaguars 25 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Philip Rivers threw four touchdown passes, two to Antonio Gates, and San Diego Chargers beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 31-25 on Sunday for their first victory in nearly two months. Rivers passed Joe Montana (273) and tied Vinny Testaverde (275) for 11th on the NFL’s all-time list. Rivers completed 29 of 43 passes for 300 yards for the Chargers (3-8). He was sacked twice and had his left ankle checked in the locker room at halftime. But his four TDs were enough against the Jaguars (4-7), who failed to recover an onside kick in the closing minutes.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF A DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT, PIER AND SUPPORT FACILITIES FOR THE TRANSIT PROTECTION SYSTEM AT U.S. COAST GUARD AIR STATION/SECTOR FIELD OFFICE, PORT ANGELES, WASHINGTON
The U.S. Department of the Navy (Navy) gives notice that they have prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate the potential environmental effects associated with the construction and operation of a pier and support facilities for the Transit Protection System (TPS) at U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Air Station/Sector Field Office in Port Angeles, Clallam County, Washington. The Navy invites the public to review and comment on t h e D ra f t E A . T h e D ra f t E A i s ava i l a bl e a t : http://go.usa.gov/tAr4. A printed copy of the Draft EA is also available for public review at the Port Angeles Main Library, 2210 South Peabody Street, Port Angeles, WA 98362.
The purpose of the Proposed Action is to provide a staging location for TPS vessels and crews that escort Navy submarines to and from their dive/surface points in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Naval Base (NAVBASE) Kitsap Bangor. The Proposed Action is needed to comply with USCG requirements for underway hour limitations and required crew rest between escort missions. Underway hours are defined as the time required for USCG crews to prepare for, perform, and complete small boat operations. The hour limits vary by boat size and type, and are shorter during high sea states and foul weather conditions. The Proposed Action consists of the construction, maintenance, and operation of a pier with utility services; a shore-based single-story facility to meet sleeping and administrative functions known as an Alert Forces Facility; a shore-based ammunition and small arms storage facility (Ready Service Armory); an above-ground diesel fuel storage tank and distribution system; and sewer, water, power, stormwater, communications, parking, lighting, physical security structures, signage, and landscaping improvements.
The Navy will hold a public meeting in Port Angeles on January 12, 2016 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Naval Elks Lodge #353, 131 E 1st Street, Port Angeles, WA to provide information about the Proposed Action. The meeting will not include a formal presentation; however, Navy and USCG personnel will be present at this open house meeting to answer questions and receive written comments.
The Navy is accepting written comments on the Draft EA for the Pier and Support Facilities for the TPS at USCG Air Station/Sector Field Office in Port Angeles through January 28, 2016. To be considered in preparation of the Final EA and the decision making process, written comments must be received by Thursday, January 28, 2016.
Written comments may be submitted at the public meeting, sent by email to NWNEPA@navy.mil, or mailed to: Commanding Officer, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Northwest, 1101 Tautog Circle, Room 203, Silverdale, WA 98315. Attn: NEPA Project Manager/TPS Facilities.

DEAR ABBY: I have a neighbor, “Mrs. Smith,” whom I see often in another neighbor’s yard, “the Joneses,” when they are not home. I have seen Mrs. Smith pick vegetables from their garden and take them to her house, and Mr. Smith connect extension cords that run to their home in the winter months when the owners are away. The Smiths are at least in their 60s and well off. While it’s possible the Joneses don’t mind sharing their garden and electricity with this couple, it does seem unusual. We have security cameras in our yard to discourage the Smiths from coming onto our property. Should I tell the Joneses about these people and, if so, what would be the best way to approach the subject? Or should I just mind my own business? I would consider someone a good neighbor if they told me someone was coming onto my property like this, but I can’t assume that others feel the same way — especially because they seem friendly toward each other and share a property line. What would a good neighbor do? Neighborly in North Dakota

Dear Don’t know what to Van Buren do: What you should do is dump this insecure, controlling boy immediately. What he’s doing isn’t flattering and it isn’t normal. While his possessiveness might have seemed like a compliment in the beginning, for your own emotional — and possibly physical — well-being, break things off now.
