Rosekrans selects lawyer for District Court cases By Charlie Bermant Peninsula Daily News
PORT TOWNSEND — The Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office has a new face in District Court, now that Miriam Norman is taking over misdemeanor cases. Norman, 27, fills a position vacated by Rafael Urquia in October. She will earn $58,465 a year. Since Urquia’s resignation, the District Court caseload has been assumed by Prosecuting Attorney Juelie Dalzell, who is retiring Rosekrans next week. “Miriam’s timing was perfect,” said Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor Scott Rosekrans, who will take over for Dalzell after winning election to the post in November.

Four decades as Santa Claus for Don McIntyre of Diamond Point included temporarily ditching the pipe. But to the youngest of his fans, it’s now “Santa’s bubble pipe.” For the older ones, it makes him Granddad.
Paz
PORT ANGELES — As he turns 40, Santa Claus is noticing what’s different this year, alongside what is the same as forever. Wait. Forty? Santa? Isn’t he a little older than that? In this case, the white-whiskered one is marking his fourth decade spreading Christmas cheer across Western Washington. Santa, known as Don McIntyre during the rest of the year, started wearing his black boots and bright crimson suit in Federal Way in 1970. Five years ago, he moved to Diamond Point and became St. Nick for this part of the world. He navigates the North Olympic Peninsula in a white van, delivering gifts for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve’s Toys for Tots campaign and other toy-giving groups. And, of course, Santa stops a lot to confer with the youngsters themselves, including preteens who, though they may wonder whether Santa is real, have visions of Christmas presents dancing in their heads. But in this year of recession and persistent unemployment, “the kids have downgraded, too,” and aren’t asking for the costlier gifts. Turn

Court’s 21st-century solution Project begins to computerize decades of files
By Paige Dickerson
Peninsula Daily News
PORT TOWNSEND — Jefferson County Superior Court is moving into the 21st century by putting remaining microfilm into digital form to make documents more accessible. “We are required to keep records for the benefit of the public,” said Superior Court Clerk Ruth Gordon. “We are required to keep them forever. It’s a permanent record.” Jefferson County was founded in 1852, and the current courthouse houses court filings since about 1900, Gordon said. Some of the older records and the newest ones are on paper, while the vast majority is on cumbersome, hard-tosearch microfilm. In the transfer project, the microfilm will be digitized one reel at a time and will be readable on a standard computer monitor that provides the ability to click to move between pages. Contrast will be adjustable, and the printed pages will be

Superior Court clerks are required to catalog, scan and archive files so they can be accessible to anyone who wants to inspect documents.
When Gordon took office in 2005, she deferred any further transfer of documents to microfilm because of the time and expense required. Gordon said that she never wanted to spend the money on
microfilm and that she favors direct digitization of paper records and bypassing the microfilm process “because it is the wave of the future.” Turn

CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan — Petty Officer 1st Class James Bowes, 32, a Port Angeles High School graduate, could add a red uniform with white fluffy trim to his collection after this Christmas. The sailor, who is in the fifth generation of his family to enter the military, played Santa for troops in Afghanistan by coordinating with the Elks Naval Lodge and other organizations to collect more than 100 gifts. Although Bowes is in the Navy, he passed out gifts to Marines, other sailors and even the manager of the post office at Camp Leatherneck earlier this month, he said. Girl Scouts from Whidbey Island, a church group Bowes attended in Tennessee and the American Legion also contributed. Bowes, who graduated from Port Angeles High School in 1997, is the son of Deborah and Jeff Bowes, who moved to Spokane about two years ago. Turn

Baldwin sues Costner over BP centrifuge
Costner’s publicist, Arnold Robinson, declined to comment Thursday on the suit’s allegations. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
STEPHEN BALDWIN IS suing Kevin Costner over their investments in a device that BP used to try to clean up the massive Gulf oil spill. A federal lawsuit filed Wednesday in New Orleans by Baldwin and a friend claims CostBaldwin ner and a business partner duped them out of their shares of an $18 million deal for BP to buy oilseparating centrifuges from a company they formed after the April 20 spill. BP ordered 32 of the centrifuges, which separate oil from water, and deployed a few of the devices on a barge in June.
Betty Ford scrutiny An early morning spat between Lindsay Lohan and a rehab worker isn’t just going to bring renewed scrutiny to the actress, but to the facility where she is being treated as well. The California Department of Public Health said it is conducting an investigation at the Lohan Betty Ford Center, which is supervising Lohan’s court-ordered rehab. The agency, however, won’t say whether its inquiry is directly related to the dustup between the “Mean Girls” star and a worker who was later fired
for giving an on-camera interview to celebrity website TMZ. Lohan remains under investigation for misdemeanor battery. Experts say the interview appears to violate state and federal medical privacy laws.
Donovan divorcing Court records show soccer star Landon Donovan has filed for divorce from his actress-wife, Bianca Kajlich, in Los Angeles. Donovan, who plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy, cited irreconcilable differences for the split with Kajlich Kajlich after nearly three years of marriage. Kajlich currently stars in the CBS comedy “Rules of Engagement.” Donovan said the couple separated in October 2009.
Passings By The Associated Press
FRED HARGESHEIMER, 94, a World War II Army pilot whose rescue by Pacific islanders led to a life of giving back as a builder of schools and teacher of children, died Thursday morning in Lincoln, Neb. On June 5, 1943, Mr. Hargesheimer, a P-38 pilot with the 8th Photographic ReconnaisMr. Hargesheimer sance in 2008 Squadron, was shot down by a Japanese fighter while on a mission over the Japanese-held island of New Britain in the southwest Pacific. He parachuted into the trackless jungle, where he barely survived for 31 days until found by local hunters. They took him to their coastal village and for seven months hid him from Japanese patrols, fed him and nursed him back to health
from two illnesses. In February 1944, with the help of Australian commandos working behind Japanese lines, he was picked up by a U.S. submarine off a New Britain beach. After revisiting the village of Ea Ea in 1960, he came home, raised $15,000 over three years, “most of it $5 and $10 gifts,” and then returned with 17-year-old son Richard in 1963 to contract for the building of the villagers’ first school. In the decades to come, Mr. Hargesheimer’s U.S. fundraising and determination built a clinic, another school and libraries in Ea Ea, renamed Nantabu, and surrounding villages. “These people were responsible for saving my life,” Mr. Hargesheimer told The Associated Press in a 2008 interview. “How could I ever repay it?”
_________ STEVE LANDESBERG, 65, an actor best known for his role as the
intellectual and sometimes annoying Detective Sgt. Arthur Dietrich on the longrunning 1970s cop comedy “Barney Miller,” died Monday. Mr. Landesberg appeared in dozens of TV shows, his curly haired, bespectacled face easily recognizable. Recent credits included “Everybody Hates Chris,” “Just Jordan,” “That 70s Show” and “American Dad.” Mr. Landesberg’s Dietrich was noted for his endless knowledge and expertise on seemingly every obscure subject imaginable, which was coupled with a sometimes patronizing attitude. He once refused to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to a fellow officer, explaining he was an agnostic and wouldn’t know who to thank. Other TV credits included “The Rockford Files,” “Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place,” “Cosby,” “Law and Order” and “The Golden Girls.”

1935 (75 years ago) The Port Angeles Evening News’ Beacon Bill relief fund for Christmas collected more than $3,500 in its two-week campaign. A Christmas Eve donation from Washington Pulp and Paper Corp. and its employees totaled $525, putting the fund past the $3,000 mark. “Santa Claus rides the rooftops of the world tonight,” wrote Beacon Bill, the byline for the Evening News figurehead behind the campaign. “When his reindeer reach the topmost peak of Mount Angeles, Old Santa is going to stand up in his sleigh, salute the chimneys
of Port Angeles and say, ‘Merry Christmas — and thanks a million.’”
1960 (50 years ago) Many North Olympic Peninsula offices and some industrial plants start closing midday today and will not open until Dec. 27. Most of the logging camps will be down until after the start of the new year. Peninsula Plywood in Port Angeles closes tonight and will not reopen for 10 days.
1985 (25 years ago) Beach and waterfowl cleanup efforts stemming

Officials from ARCO Marine Inc., operators of the Arco Anchorage, set up a local phone line for people wishing to file damage claims related to the oil spill. One Sequim commercial fisherman said he intends to file a claim because he hasn’t been able to fish since the spill. ARCO Marine has hired Alice Berkner, executive director of the bird rescue center at the University of California, Berkeley, to oversee the North Olympic Peninsula bird operation.

Looking Back From the files of The Associated Press
TODAY IS FRIDAY, Dec. 24, the 358th day of 2010. There are seven days left in the year. This is Christmas Eve. Today’s Highlight in History: ■ On Dec. 24, 1968, the Apollo 8 astronauts, orbiting the moon, read passages from the Old Testament Book of Genesis during a Christmas Eve telecast. On this date: ■ In 1524, Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama — who had discovered a sea route around Africa to India — died in Cochin, India. ■ In 1809, legendary American frontiersman Christopher “Kit” Carson was born in Madison County, Ky. ■ In 1814, the War of 1812 officially ended as the United States and Britain signed the Treaty of Ghent in Belgium. ■ In 1851, fire devastated the
Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., destroying about 35,000 volumes. ■ In 1865, several veterans of the Confederate Army formed a private social club in Pulaski, Tenn., called the Ku Klux Klan. ■ In 1871, Giuseppe Verdi’s opera “Aida” had its world premiere in Cairo. ■ In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower supreme commander of Allied forces as part of Operation Overlord. ■ In 1951, Gian Carlo Menotti’s “Amahl and the Night Visitors,” the first opera written specifically for television, was first broadcast by NBC-TV. ■ In 1980, Americans remembered the U.S. hostages in Iran by burning candles or shining lights for 417 seconds — one second for each day of captivity.
Karl Doenitz, the last leader of the Third Reich following the suicides of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels, died in West Germany at age 89. ■ In 1990, Canadian teenager Tammy Homolka died after being drugged and sexually abused by her older sister, Karla, and Karla’s fiance, Paul Bernardo. ■ Ten years ago: A group of escaped convicts robbed a sporting goods store in Irving, Texas; a police officer, Aubrey Hawkins, was killed during the robbery. Bombs exploded outside churches in nine Indonesian cities and towns, killing at least 19 people. Nick Massi, an original member of the Four Seasons, died in Newark, N.J., at age 73. ■ Five years ago: Iraq’s governing Shiite coalition called on
Iraqis to accept results showing the religious bloc leading in parliamentary elections and moved ahead with efforts to form a “national unity” government. Michael Vale, the actor best known for portraying sleepy-eyed Fred the Baker in Dunkin’ Donuts commercials, died in New York at age 83. ■ One year ago: The Senate passed health care legislation, 60-39, in the chamber’s first Christmas Eve vote since 1895. Sean Goldman, a 9-year-old boy at the center of a five-year custody battle on two continents, was finally turned over to his American father, David Goldman, in Brazil. A woman jumped barriers in St. Peter’s Basilica and knocked down Pope Benedict XVI as he was walking down the main aisle to begin Christmas Eve Mass; the pope was unhurt.

DENVER — The Obama administration plans to reverse a Bush-era policy and make millions of undeveloped acres of land once again eligible for federal wilderness protection, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said Thursday. The agency will replace the 2003 policy adopted under former Interior Secretary Gale Norton. That policy — derided by some as the “No More Wilderness” policy — stated that new areas could not be recommended for wilderness protection by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, and it opened millions of acres to potential commercial development. Environmental activists have been pushing for the Obama administration to restore protections for potential wilderness areas. Salazar said the agency will review some 220 million acres of BLM land that are not currently under wilderness protection to see which should be given a new “Wild Lands” designation — a new first step for land awaiting a wilderness decision. Congress would decide whether those lands should be permanently protected, Salazar said. Congressional Republicans pounced on the “Wild Lands” announcement as an attempt by the Obama administration to close land to development without congressional approval.
The Associated Press
Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar watches geese fly overhead outside Denver as Bureau of Land Management Director Bob Abbey speaks about the planned reversal of the wilderness policy. “This backdoor approach is intended to circumvent both the people who will be directly affected and Congress,” said Washington Rep. Doc Hastings, a Republican tapped to lead the House Natural Resources Committee when the GOP takes control of the House in January. The Congressional Western Caucus, an all-Republican group, also blasted the decision. “This is little more than an early Christmas present to the far left extremists who oppose the multiple use of our nation’s public lands,” Utah Rep. Rob Bishop said
in a statement. BLM Director Bob Abbey said it hasn’t been decided how many acres are expected to be designated as “Wild Lands” and whether those acres will be offlimits to motorized recreation or commercial development while under congressional review. It’s also unclear whether there will be a time limit on how long acres can be managed as “Wild Lands” before a decision is made on their future. The BLM has six months to submit a plan for those new wilderness evaluations.

Rome embassy blast hurts 2 The Associated Press
ROME — Mail bombs exploded in the hands of employees at the Swiss and Chilean embassies in Rome on Thursday, seriously wounding two people and triggering heightened security checks at diplomatic missions just as holiday deliveries deluge their mailrooms. Italian investigators suspected the attacks were the work of anarchists, similar to the two-day wave of mail bombs that targeted several embassies in Athens last month — including those of Chile and Switzerland. One of last month’s boobytrapped packages, addressed to Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi, was intercepted in Italy. Late Thursday night, the Ital-
Quick Read
ian news agency ANSA reported that a claim by anarchists was found in a small box near one of the wounded employees and that it was being examined by antiterrorism police squad.
Claim made Anti-terrorism police at Rome police headquarters refused to comment on the claim, which ANSA said was made by a group called the Informal Anarchist Federation, or FAI. Anarchists were blamed by authorities last week for bloody clashes between protesters and police in Rome that marred otherwise peaceful demonstrations by students against a university reform law. The legislation received final
approval in parliament Thursday. For Thursday’s twin embassy mail bombs, less than three hours apart, Italian investigators are pursuing the “trail of anarchistsinsurrectionists,” Interior Minister Roberto Maroni, whose ministry includes anti-terrorist police, told reporters. “These are very violent groups that are also present in Spain and Greece and are very well-connected,” the minister said. Tens of thousands of tourists and pilgrims have been pouring into Rome this week for Christmas ceremonies at the Vatican. Since the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the United States in 2001, security has been tight at public ceremonies in St. Peter’s Basilica and Square.

World: Jammed Beijing to limit new car registration
A man wearing a Bob Dylan backstage pass who ordered 178 pizzas from a Massachusetts pizza parlor but never picked them up has agreed to hand over the dough. A lawyer for the New Jersey man said his client is a “decent enough” guy with no criminal record who felt bad about the prank. The pizzas he ordered were worth about $4,000. Workers at Antonio’s in the college town of Amherst stayed until 5:30 a.m. Nov. 20 making the pies. The man ordered them shortly after a Dylan concert at the nearby University of Massachusetts.
Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel can run for Chicago mayor although he spent much of the last two years living in Washington while working for President Barack Obama, the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners ruled Thursday. The board’s unanimous decision to put Emanuel’s name on the Feb. 22 ballot allowed the former White House chief of staff to clear a major hurdle to his ambitions to replace retiring Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley. More than two dozen people had challenged Emanuel’s candidacy, contending he didn’t meet a one-year residency requirement.
President Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday welcomed the U.S. Senate’s decision to ratify a landmark U.S.Russian nuclear arms control treaty, but Russian legislators said they need to study a resolution accompanying the document before following suit. Medvedev’s spokeswoman Natalya Timakova said that when he signed the New START treaty with President Barack Obama, they agreed that the ratification process should be conducted simultaneously. But she said both houses of parliament would need some time to analyze the Senate’s conditions for its ratification before making their decision.
China’s capital announced Thursday that it will sharply limit new vehicle registrations to try to ease massive traffic jams that are rapidly turning Beijing’s streets into parking lots. The city will only allow 240,000 vehicles to be registered next year. The figure is equal to a little more than one-third of the total number of new cars put on the capital’s streets this year. Traffic jams in Beijing have worsened recently, with the city dithering over how to clear up the smoggy congestion while still allowing the Communist country’s burgeoning middle class the automobiles they crave.

Sherrie Riggs, secretary for the Elks Lodge, said the group was happy to help. “We went and got Christmas stockings, and a group of children wrote Christmas letters to let them know how much was appreciated what they were doing,” she said. “We wanted to send things they can enjoy, even though they are away from home. “This is the first year we’ve done this, though we

“District Court cases are less serious than those in Superior Court,” she said. “You have a chance to enter someone’s life early on when you can make a difference, before they end up becoming defendants in Superior Court.” Rosekrans, 58, said he appreciates Norman’s youth and enthusiasm. Norman graduated from the South Texas College of Law Prosecutor’s School, which is also Rosekrans’ alma mater, a fact she did not know until her interview. She said she is looking forward to the mentoring that Rosekrans will provide.
“In law school, they teach you about the law, but they don’t teach you how to practice law,” she Norman said. “When you walk into an office like this, you have a built-in mentor, which I didn’t have in my last job where I had to learn by trial and error.” Norman was one of nine attorneys interviewed for the position out of 39 applicants. “I was impressed with
Miriam because she was used to working on her own,” Rosekrans said. “I am not going to have to stand over her and tell her what to do.” Rosekrans also said that another positive aspect of his new hire is that she has the habit of contacting each crime victim, even if it is not required to try the case. “It’s important that I talk to victims so they know what the process is,” she said. “A lot of people haven’t been in a courtroom before. They don’t know what’s going on. They don’t know what the word ‘arraignment’ means and how it
affects them. “So I think it’s really important to interview all the people who might be touched by a crime, let them know what the process is and how I can help them.” Norman and her husband, Joel, who is in the military, live in Port Townsend, “close enough to the courthouse so we can hear the bells.” The couple have no children.

Some larger counties use a digital filing process that bypasses paper filings entirely, but Gordon said that won’t happen in Jefferson County for some time. “We will continue to be paper-based for the time being because that’s how the judge works,” she said, adding that converting to a fully digital system would take time, resources, equipment and money — all lack-

The technology may be new, but Gordon said it fulfills a purpose defined nearly 200 years ago. “There are instances in history where they have not been honest and fair, and that’s why states formed in post-Jacksonian times have separately elected clerks whose job it is to keep the records of the judge who is meting out the justice sepa-

charity instead of throwing a big bash. And as he makes his rounds, Santa wishes his neighbors a merry Christmas, not a “happy holiday.” To his mind, a holiday can be anything from Valentine’s Day to the Fourth of July, while Christmas is Christmas, and he calls it as he sees it. Interviewing countless children has taught Santa many things. When a child is not comfortable being placed on Santa’s lap, there isn’t a lot to do about it. “If they’re crying, they’re not going to start smiling. If they’re smiling,” he said, “they might start crying.” But most of the children he meets are pretty wellbehaved, Santa said. It’s the
adults who urge things like “Pull on his beard!” To this, he responds in his deep Father Christmas timbre: “You really don’t want to pull Santa’s beard.” He does use his stature to remind kids about the skills that will see them through life.

Throughout this month, he’s been vrooming around in his van, bearing toys donated by members of the Elks, Lions, Soroptimists, Kiwanis and Rotary clubs, along with loads of gifts local residents contributed to Toys for Tots and the Salvation Army. “All of us working together,” Santa said, “is the only way to make it work.” He added that smaller towns like those in Clallam and Jefferson counties still have thriving service clubs — even as he sees the organizations in danger of dying out in metropolitan areas. Santa’s work is almost done for 2010. His wish, though, is that Christmas would last all year. Say you’re feeling a touch of irritation at a co-worker or family member, and you feel like lashing out. “Ask yourself: Would you do this if today was Christmas?” Santa suggested. “If everyone acted the way they do on Christmas Day,” he figured, “most of our problems would be gone.”
He accessorizes with a set of sleigh bells — which announce his arrival in offices such as the Peninsula Daily News’ — and a burnished wooden pipe. Some years ago, he retired the pipe, thinking it might send the wrong message about smoking, and a woman at one of the nursing homes he visits asked him where it was. “If it doesn’t come back, don’t you come back,” the woman instructed. He reinstated the pipe. To many of his older fans, Santa said, it’s a sweet reminder of a granddad who smoked one.

Licensing office to stay in West End New location found after leak prompted closure By Paul Gottlieb
Peninsula Daily News
FORKS — The state Department of Licensing is staying put in the West End but will move from 41 Bogachiel Way, where a sewage leak prompted the indefinite shutdown of the office Dec. 1. The relocation to 421 Fifth Ave. and the minor remodeling required at that address mean Forks and other West End residents will continue to be without
part-time driver’s license and motorcycle endorsement services for more than a month longer, agency spokesman Tony Sermonti said Wednesday. The agency will resume its operations by Jan. 31, when the state office will move into its new quarters and share space with the state Department of Social and Health Services, which is already stationed at that location. “I’m pleased they are staying in the community,”
Mayor Bryon Monohon said. Sermonti said once the office reopens, it will maintain its hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays. Floor plans to add a counter, a voice-data line and electrical outlets to the state DSHS office were received Wednesday, said Jim Erskine, a spokesman for the state Department of General Administration, which oversees state leases. “It’s not an option for DOL to move into the old space,” Erskine said. Sermonti had said Dec. 3 that he could not guarantee the Forks office would reopen, saying the state
viewed the Forks facility “as part of a broader office consolidation” of DOL facilities. The Forks licensing office averages 246 transactions a month, Sermonti has said.
No service since Dec. 1 But there have been no services since Dec. 1, when employees discovered visible, raw sewage seeping into the facility from a cracked cast-iron pipe. Since then, West End residents who want services must travel to the Port Angeles office, which is 57 miles from Forks. “It’s incredibly difficult for people to find the time
and resources to go into Port Angeles,” Monohon said. Janet Marion, an owner of the Bogachiel Way building, said Wednesday repairs will include asbestos abatement of walls and floor tiles, but her insurance would not cover sewer problems or asbestos removal. The agency has been housed at the same address for more than 40 years, she said. “We just can’t do [the repairs] in their time frame and at their specifications,” Marion said. The state, which was paying $550-a-month rent for 1,028 square feet, will
pay “in the neighborhood of $400-plus” a month for about 300 square feet in its new quarters, Erskine said. The owner of the 421 Fifth Ave. building is Sandy Sunni LLC, with a contact phone number in Seattle, Erskine said. State Department of Licensing offices are closed statewide today on Christmas Eve and will remain closed Monday, which is a required temporary layoff day. Offices will be open statewide Tuesday.

Forks woman hurt in wreck Driver in satisfactory condition By Rob Ollikainen Peninsula Daily News
The State Patrol report said Thomas was driving northbound when her car struck water in the roadway, causing it to hydroplane across the road into the southbound ditch, where it struck a tree stump and then some small trees. The wreck was reported at 7:43 a.m. Thomas was wearing her seat belt, and drugs and alcohol were not involved, troopers said. There were no passengers in the vehicle. The wreck occurred at Milepost 148, just north of the Jefferson County-Grays Harbor County line. The Honda Accord Thomas was driving was destroyed, State Patrol said.

LOS ANGELES — JoAnn Stores Inc., which operates a store in Port Angeles, agreed to be acquired by an affiliate of Leonard Green & Partners LP for $1.6 billion to accelerate expansion of the largest U.S. fabric retailer. The cash offer of $61 a share was 34 percent higher than Wednesday’s closing price of $45.63, Hudson, Ohio-based JoAnn Stores said Thursday in a statement. The board can solicit other proposals
through Feb. 14. Going private will enable Jo-Ann Stores to expand faster and boost its share of fabric and craft sales, Chief Executive Officer Darrell Webb said in the statement. Los Angeles-based Leonard Green is paying about 7.8 times Jo-Ann Stores’ earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization over the past four quarters, about the same multiple as the median takeover of a U.S. retailer in the past 12 months, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Jo-Ann Stores had no outstanding debt at the end
of the third quarter ending Oct. 30. Cash totaled $112.4 million at the end of the quarter, $14.7 million more than a year earlier, the company said Dec. 1. The Jo-Ann store in Port Angeles is located in Port Angeles Plaza shopping center on U.S. Highway 101 at Golf Course Road.

Lacking seniority didn’t necessarily equate with doing poorly on the valueadded measurement; about 275 teachers were on both lists. Using teachers’ past performance, the researchers predicted the performance of two hypothetical school systems: one in which the teachers receiving notices had actually lost their jobs, and one in which more than 1,300 of the lowest-performing teachers had been fired instead.

after seniority-based layoffs would drop by an estimated 2.5 to 3.5 months of learning per student, when compared with laying off the least effective teachers. “If your bottom line is student achievement, then this is not the best system,” Goldhaber said. But determining who are the best and worst teachers is also problematic, said Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, one of the country’s largest teacher unions. She criticized the research, saying it could further push school districts toward evaluating teachers strictly on student test scores. Teacher unions criticize the value-added method, pointing to research showing it leads to inconsistent and inconclusive results. “This report is actually going to do a tremendous disservice. It will stop the real work that needs to be done to development comprehensive evaluation systems,” Weingarten said. A state education research expert said Goldhaber’s conclusions would be useful in the discussion about national education policy. “We’d like to see more research and more information on these areas,” said Joseph Koski, research and policy analyst for Washington’s Professional Educator Standards Board.

SEATTLE — A study of Washington state teachers has found that deciding layoffs based solely on which teachers have the least seniority has a significant impact on students’ ability to learn, adding to a growing chorus calling for schools to take a hard look at union contracts dictating who gets to keep their jobs. The study comes as tens of thousands of teachers around the country stand to lose their jobs next year as federal stimulus money dries up. In most places, union contracts and other policies generally dictate the least experienced teachers are the first to go.
1,717 Washington state teachers who were given layoff notices in either of the past two school years. Most of those teachers were given notices because they had the least seniority; nearly all of them ultimately kept their jobs, but many face layoffs next year as federal stimulus money used to retain them dries up. Researchers compared the actual layoff notice list with a list of teachers who would have been laid off using a measurement of effectiveness known as “value-added,” in which teachers are judged by the improvement of their students on standardized tests.

Volunteers recognized for construction of Monument at Lincoln Park A number of years ago Dr. Tom Hainstock, himself a long-time volunteer in the Port Angeles youth baseball community, remarked that there were a number of people who, over the years, had made contributions almost beyond imagination, never asking for recognition. He labeled them “born blood donors.” The thought inspired a design, approved by the local North Olympic Baseball and Softball board in 2004, to erect a monument in Lincoln Park which would serve as recognition for the roughly one thousand volunteers who have managed teams, umpired, or done yeoman duty in support of the program over the years. Each year the goal of a monument was renewed - until this fall, when circumstance and willing partners converged. In the course of a month this fall, under the supervision of Tom Rankin of ONA Landscaping, the dream came to fruition, and Lincoln Park now has a magnificent monument dedicated to those who serve Port Angeles Youth.
North Olympic Baseball and Softball wishes to thank: Tom Rankin - Optimum Natural Arrangements (ONA) Landscaping -- for his supervision and
North Olympic Baseball and Softball plans to dedicate the monument in the spring with the installation of a plaque naming the first of the program’s “Hall of Fame” of volunteers representing the program. In the meantime, we owe a debt of gratitude to those who have made it possible.

3-year-old daughter, was believed to be one of Ridgway’s early victims, but he was not charged in her case because her body wasn’t found and because Ridgway couldn’t provide investigators with enough information about her to prove he killed her. Marrero’s skull was found Tuesday by children playing in a ravine in Auburn, about 25 miles south of Seattle. It was the same area where the remains of another Ridgway victim, Marie Malvar, were found in September 2003. It wasn’t immediately clear whether the King County Prosecutor’s Office planned to charge Ridgway with Marrero’s death.

“With the discovery of Ms. Marrero’s remains detectives and prosecutors will now review the investigation into her disappearance and death,” the office said in a written statement. “Investigators will examine all aspects of the case including any potential involvement of Ridgway.” One of Ridgway’s attorneys, Mark Prothero, was out of the office and could not immediately be reached for comment. Prothero wrote in his book on the case, Defending Gary, that during extensive interviews Ridgway had “never been able to give the detectives anything useful on the Rebecca Marrero case.”

Injured bald eagle Caregiver charged gets ‘loud and feisty’ with manslaughter Bird shows signs of recovery, center says Peninsula Daily News
SEQUIM — A bald eagle shot earlier this month is showing signs of recovery, although he remains in intensive care. “We are happy to report that the young eagle is starting to show signs of progress in his recuperation,” said Matthew Randazzo, spokesman for the Northwest Raptor & Wildlife Center in Sequim, on Thursday. “He’s getting loud and giving us hell when we approach,” said Jaye Moore, director of the center. “That shows he’s starting to feel a little better.” The eagle, found shot in the left wing in a rainsoaked field in Beaver on Dec. 15, is eating regularly after having undergone surgery Wednesday to clean and treat the wing damaged by what looks to be a .22-caliber bullet. “He’s also getting loud and feisty and ornery again, which are all great signs from a recovering eagle,” said Moore, who has rescued and rehabilitated wildlife for 28 years. “Ever since we nearly lost the eagle on Monday, we’ve been taking it slow,” she added. “That approach has been paying off.”

PORT ANGELES — A Port Angeles caregiver has been charged with first-degree manslaughter and first-degree criminal mistreatment after a 95-year-old man she was caring for died of gangrene in July. Laurie M. Morehead, 54, pleaded not guilty to the charges in Clallam County Superior Court on Thursday.
February trial Northwest Raptor & Wildlife Center
A young bald eagle that was found shot in the left wing Dec. 15 is doing better. “The search for the shooter . . . is still ongoing, as are our fundraising efforts to pay for the care of the bird,” Randazzo said. Because the bird is a juvenile, its coloring is brown. It hasn’t yet developed the trademark white feathers of adult bald eagles. Bald eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, according to U.S. Fish and Wildlife. A first-offense violation of the act can result in a fine of
$100,000, imprisonment for one year or both. Penalties increase for additional offenses, and a second violation of the act is a felony. Tips may be reported to the center by e-mailing Randazzo at Matthew@ NWRaptorCenter.com and by phoning state Fish and Wildlife at 877-933-9847. For more information on the center, visit www.nw raptorcenter.com or www. facebook.com/northwest raptorcenter.
A one-week trial is scheduled to start Feb. 7, with a pre-trial hearing set for Jan. 14. First-degree manslaughter is a Class A felony that carries a maximum penalty of life in prison and a $50,000 fine. Court documents show that Morehead, a state-registered nursing assistant since 2003 who worked as an independent caregiver, was caring for Robert Phelps in her Port Angeles residence when Phelps fell and suffered a wound to

SEATTLE — Travelers found mostly clear skies and dry runways through much of the state Thursday — except on the North Olympic Peninsula, where continued rain was forecast through Saturday. The National Weather Service predicted the threat of heavy rain today and through Christmas Day on the Peninsula because of a strong frontal system stalling over the area. The Weather Service said the amount of rain remains uncertain, although it could be heavy in some areas, especially in the western portion of Clallam County. Snow levels were to rise to 5,000 feet and remain there through Saturday, the Weather Service said. On Thursday, the state Department of Transportation was offering travelers some help with picking the right time to hit the road.

The long-term prognosis for the eagle, which is under care at the Greywolf Veterinary Hospital in Sequim, is unclear, Randazzo said. “We’re waiting to see if the eagle can heal itself and naturally bridge the fracture in the ulna bone in his left wing,” he said. “We won’t know if he can fly or be released for a long time.” Both the Raptor Center and the state Department of Fish and Wildlife are seeking tips on who shot the bird.

Joy amid stress on Christmas Eve MOOSE WAS LOOSE on C Street in Port Angeles, romping with a smaller, rusty-brown dog with short Corgi legs. The Corgi mix sprang Martha M. within inches of the tire of a Ireland car ahead of me. Traffic stopped for the larger dog, and the pair blithely bounded into the Hairsmith’s parking lot. I pulled in and called to them, not wanting the doggies’ mindless revelry to end in a red stain on the asphalt. The big friendly dog, which appeared to be a shorn Old English sheepdog, romped over for some petting. I snagged his collar. A personalized tag said his name is Moose, but gave a cell phone number that is no longer in service. Moose sat by the salon door when I went inside for my preholiday trim, but both dogs had vanished by the time I emerged.
I hope they made it home safely. I hope Moose gets an updated ID tag for Christmas, not to mention a securely fenced yard. Those doggies were just having fun — no different than many a human, especially during the holiday season. But mindless revelry sometimes adds to the grief of people dealing with deep sorrows — and increases risk-taking that can turn future Christmases into sad anniversaries. Tragedies of all kinds strike year-round, but they seem to cut deeper at Christmas, when unrealistic expectations of universal joy run high. Friends who are foster parents tell me they didn’t put up a Christmas tree last year, and won’t this year. The usual trappings of Christmas are too traumatic for children who come from homes where anger, drunkenness and violence were holiday traditions. Recognizing that they’re sheltering children who eye Christmas trees with trepidation, my friends are skipping that decoration as they strive to deliver the gift of experiencing peaceful, lov-
ing family gatherings. Even among families whose Christmas memories are all merry, a string of stresses — ranging from economic uncertainty to overseas deployments — may dampen holiday cheer. With less cash to spend, more parents turn to social service agencies that help generous people play Santa. To stretch reduced contributions enough to meet growing demand, case managers and volunteers go hunting for bargains and donations at retail stores that rely on this season to balance their books. The string of impacts sometimes has Grinch-like results. A valued employee may be laid off just before Christmas, or the entire staff may suffer subnecessity pay due to across-theboard reductions in hours worked. Gala office parties at nice restaurants are replaced by potluck luncheons where employees are invited to contribute a favorite dish — and advised not to expect year-end bonuses. Such economies may help sustain employment, but restaurants and shops feel the impact
Christmas. One woman told me she sends her husband off to enjoy his large family, while she happily works on some special project at home. Amidst the stresses and the potential conflicts of dissimilar traditions, Christmas still inspires hope. Controversies over holiday decorations and greetings that marred recent years seem, happily, to have abated. Whether we celebrate or ignore the birth of Jesus Christ, the eve of Christmas is upon us. In our revelry, may we be sensitive to the sorrows others bear. May we walk gently and speak kindly — even when Christmas has passed.
Jefferson County and zoning Contrary to a statement in my Dec. 18 column, “Fix the Causes of State Budget Woes,” Jefferson County had no zoning prior to enactment of the state Growth Management Act in 1990, except within the city of Port Townsend. Martha M. Ireland and scramble to adjust to changing demands. As I browsed through a lovely new small shop in Sequim, the owner lamented her choice of merchandise. She thought she’d picked the wrong sizes, but it was the prices that didn’t fit. At a large, long-time Port Angeles store, the manager said busy days alternate with slow days, but the business will survive. He credited an effective strategy of seeking out special buys that are good for both the store and its customers. Not everyone celebrates

✃ Peninsula Voices We are Santa Everyone who has dressed up as Santa and sat with children on their lap has been asked: Are you the real Santa? I have come to believe that, yes, I am a real Santa. So, my answer to this question from children goes something like this: What do you think? I think we are all Santa at times. We are Santa every time we do something good for someone else — a hug, a kind word, a gift, listening as a friend, lending a helping hand, coming to the support a friend or family member wronged, etc. You see, Santa is a spirit, not a person. He is everywhere. Think of the last time you did something good for someone else and the feeling that started in your head moved to your heart and warmed you all over. One of my stops as Santa each year is an Alzheimer’s center. I wish everyone could have the experience of seeing the light come on in a patient’s eyes and the reaching to touch the white fur on Santa’s coat. One elderly man in a voice barely audible said to Santa, “Santa, where have you been? I have been

waiting so long to see you.” I cannot express in words what went through my heart at that moment. I can only say I knew there is a Santa, and he is all of us. God help us if we ever lose this Santa concept. Walt Schubert, Sequim EDITOR’S NOTE — Schubert is a former mayor of Sequim. He often portrays Santa at community events.
Housing ‘bubble’ Friday columnist Martha Ireland in the Dec. 17-18 PDN [“Fix The Causes of State Budget Woes”] quotes several misstatements and false conclusions. Space limits me to one. I participated in World Future activities with the Cato Institute and other anti-government and antiConstitution, corporatefunded organizations including the Hudson Institute and American Enterprise Institute in the 1970s. Their mission was then and is now to exclude government from regulating — no rule of law — for the public’s benefit. The wild allegation by Randal O’Toole of Cato that the “housing bubble” was created by regulations is absolutely false.
Rational people know the primary cause of the “bubble” was the promotion by real estate brokers to list and sell properties at high prices and the unprofessional appraisal method of comparables to set property values. The process of establishing true value is much more complicated. Also, banks, assuming prices would always go up, made irrational loans on vastly overvalued homes. Example: When the Federal Housing Administration enacted the requirement that insulation be installed during housing construction, if financed by FHA, builders and support organizations falsely blared that it would bankrupt them and create a housing shortage. What that regulation did was to provide a warmer house for the occupants at about 40 percent of the cost of insulating after construction. But people were misled about the cost by the allegation it was evil government that wanted to punish business. But it was the cost of insulation, not the cost of regulation, that increased costs. A warmer and cooler house was produced for the homeowners. John D. Borah, Port Angeles

Is the nation ready Christmas 2010 for a gay president? Jimmy Carter is putting the out in outspokenness. In an interview with bigthink. com, the former president was asked, “Is the country ready for a gay president?” Even as John McCain and other ossi- Maureen fied RepubliDowd cans were staging last-minute maneuvers to torpedo the “don’t ask, don’t tell” repeal, the 86-year-old Carter was envisioning a grander civil rights victory. “I would say that the answer is yes,” he said. “I don’t know about the next election, but I think in the near future.” The news that Leonardo DiCaprio and Armie Hammer will smooch in an upcoming movie about J. Edgar Hoover and his aide, Clyde Tolson — buried near each other in the Congressional Cemetery on Capitol Hill — is a reminder of an “Advise and Consent” Washington where being a closeted gay official made you vulnerable to blackmail. Others feel we’re not ready for a gay president, citing the fear and loathing unleashed by the election of the first black president. “Can you imagine how much a gay president would have to overcompensate to please the macho ninnies who control our national debate?” Bill Maher told me. “Women like Hillary have to do it, Obama had to do it because he’s black and liberal, but a gay president? He’d have to nuke something the first week.” I called Barney Frank, assuming the gay pioneer would be optimistic. He wasn’t. “It’s one thing to have a gay person in the abstract,” he said. “It’s another to see that person as part of a living, breathing couple. “How would a gay presidential candidate have a celebratory kiss with his partner after winning the New Hampshire primary? “The sight of two women kissing has not been as distressful to people as the sight of two men kissing.” Because of the Defense of Marriage Act, he added, “it’s not clear that a gay president could use federal funds to buy his hus-

band dinner. Would his partner have to pay rent in the White House? There would be no Secret Service protection for the paramour.” Frank noted that we’ve “clearly had one gay president already, James Buchanan. “If I had to pick one, it wouldn’t be him.” (The Atlantic blogger Andrew Sullivan aims higher, citing Abe Lincoln, who sometimes bundled with his military bodyguard in bed when his wife was away.) Frank said that although most Republicans now acknowledge that sexual orientation is not a choice, they still can’t handle their pols’ coming out. “There are Republicans here who are gay,” he said of Congress, “but as long as they don’t acknowledge it, it’s OK. “Republicans only tolerate you being gay as long as you don’t seem proud of it. “You’ve got to be apologetic.” Sam Adams, the mayor of Portland, Ore., hopes that the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” will help persuade “the collective conscience of the United States that gay people are just the same as anybody else.” “We shouldn’t have to die in the closet,” Adams said. “The irony is, as mayor, I marry people, but I can’t marry Peter, my longtime partner.” There are no openly gay senators, governors, cabinet members or Supreme Court justices. There are four openly gay Democratic House members, once David Cicilline of Rhode Island gets sworn in. Representative Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin recalled that during a race for state Assembly, a voter she thought was “trouble” swaggered up to her. But she need not have braced herself. “If you can be honest about that,” he told her, “you’ll be honest about everything.”
She said she took her former girlfriend, Lauren, to White House parties to meet three presidents, interactions that she thinks “really helps change minds and advance the cause.” Rep. Jared Polis of Colorado said he took his boyfriend, Marlon Reis, to a White House Christmas party this year. He said Marlon is “very popular — some of his best friends are Republican spouses.” Fred Sainz of the Human Rights Campaign fretted to his husband that a gay president would be anticlimactic. “People expect this bizarro and outlandish behavior,” he told me. “We’re always the funny neighbor wearing colorful, avantgarde clothing. “We would let down people with our boringness and banality when they learn that we go to grocery stores Saturday afternoon, take our kids to school plays and go see movies.” After studying polling data for a decade, Sainz thinks a lesbian would have a better shot at the presidency than a gay man. “People are more comfortable with women than they are with men because of stereotypes with gay men about hypersexuality,” he said. Andre Leon Talley, the Vogue visionary, pictures a lesbian president who looks like Julie Andrews and dresses to meet heads of state in “ankle-length skirts, grazing the Manolo Blahnik kitten heels.” She would save her “butch trouser suit for weekends at Camp David and vacation hikes in Yellowstone. No plaid lumberjack shirts at any time.”

ACLU’s unholy war on Catholic hospitals Ho, ho, ho! Just in time for Christmas, the American Civil Liberties Union has launched a new salvo against people of faith. Even as billions around the world cele- Michelle brate the birth Malkin of Christ, joyless, abortionobsessed secularists never take a holiday. On Wednesday, the ACLU sent a letter to federal health officials urging the government to force Catholic hospitals in the U.S. to perform abortions in violation of their core moral commitment to protecting the lives of the unborn. They’re counting on sympathetic Obama rationing czar Donald Berwick — a recess appointee whose radical views on wealth and health redistribution were never vetted by Congress — to dictate which religious principles hospital operators can and cannot follow. The ACLU reiterated its call for a federal probe — read: fishing expedition — of Catholic hospitals nationwide that refuse to provide “emergency” contraception and abortions to women. In practice, of course, every request for abortion is an “emergency” to the left. The Catholic Church makes clear that it is morally permissible under certain circumstances to treat directly the cause of the mother’s medical condition, even if those efforts unintentionally and indirectly cost the baby’s life. But Catholic health providers must never directly trade one life for another.
Civil liberties activists have a particular vendetta against devout Phoenix Catholic Bishop Thomas Olmsted, who recently revoked the Catholic status of a rogue hospital that performed several direct abortions, provided birth control pills and presided over sterilizations against the church’s ethical and religious directives for health care. “It would be unfaithful to pretend the institution is still Catholic,” Olmsted concluded. “The dioceses cannot be permitted to dictate who lives and who dies in Catholic-owned hospitals,” the ACLU’s lawyers fumed in response. But shall it be left to the ACLU and Obamacare bureaucrats to determine the Catholicity of a Catholic hospital? And shall it be left to litigious secularists to sabotage the First Amendment rights of religiousbased health care entities with impunity? No. The ACLU now seeks to unilaterally rewrite a federal emergency medical treatment law passed by Congress in 1986 to mandate that all hospitals provide abortions. But for more than three decades, under both Republican and Democratic administrations, federal law has firmly established strong conscience protections for individual health care providers and hospitals who are reluctant or unwilling to “counsel, suggest, recommend, assist or in any way participate in the performance of abortions or sterilizations contrary to or consistent with” their “religious beliefs or moral convictions.” As the Washington, D.C.-based Becket Fund, a public interest law firm that defends the free
expression of all religious traditions, pointed out to the feds: “The ACLU has no business radically redefining the meaning of ‘emergency health care,’ just as it has no business demanding that religious doctors and nurses violate their faith by performing a procedure they believe is tantamount to murder. “Forcing religious hospitals to perform abortions not only undermines this nation’s integral commitment to conscience rights, it violates the numerous federal laws that recognize and protect those rights.” According to the Catholic Health Association, Catholic health care facilities form the largest not-for-profit health service sector in the United States — serving one out of every six patients in America and providing 15 percent of the hospital bed capacity in the country. Moreover, Catholic health care institutions employ about 540,000 full-time workers and 240,000 part-time workers. If the abortion lobby gets its way, faithful Catholic hospitals and Catholic medical professionals who follow their consciences and adhere to canon law could see their federal funding yanked. And radical social engineers may well force the shutdown of countless Catholic hospitals at a time when Obamacare costs and consequences are already wreaking havoc on the health industry. Fewer jobs, less access to health care, less freedom and more lives lost: Merry Christmas from the ACLU.

A tasty competition Aldrich’s Market plays host to gingerbread house contest By Jennifer Jackson
For Peninsula Daily News
Contest winners Contest winners were announced Saturday at Aldrich’s Market, 940 Lawrence St., Port Townsend. The 18 entries will be on display through Saturday, Jan. 1. First place in the “group” category went to “Santa’s New Sleigh,” a gingerbread ferry pulled by twin reindeer, created by Shannon Murock and her daughter, Lily Murock, both of Port Townsend. “Every year, we try to do something that has a comment to make,” Shannon said. “A gift to us and our downtown retailers would be a ferry, and who brings gifts but Santa?”
Other winners First place in the over-12 category went to Coyote Herrick for an open-roof gingerbread house, complete with ladder. Honorable mentions went to Jakob Bueche and Coyote’s mother, Janice Herrick. Among the entries were “Stonehenge in Its Original Form” by Cecelia Bahls and Jude Rubin and “House of Cards” by Jane, Jenny and Alice Peterson, Mari Mullen and Julia Mullen Gordon. Sisters Hopi and Emily Jayne built a house of the future, complete with solar panels, a windmill, a compost pile and a garden with candy beets, cauliflower,

PORT TOWNSEND — Most people who saw the documentary “Man on a Wire,” about the tightrope walker crossing a high wire between the World Trade Center towers in 1974, thought “What an amazing thing he did” and “Think of all the engineering that went into the preparation.” Ray Grier came out of the theater thinking “What a great idea for a gingerbread house!” An annual entrant in Aldrich’s Gingerbread House Contest, Grier, a Port Townsend artist, managed to replicate the scene in dough, balancing the gingerbread man on a wire between the two towers. It was just one of the imaginative entries in the 16th annual contest, ranging from modern architecture to elaborate gingerbread houses with gardens, flowing rivers, people, dogs and wildlife.
Building with gingerbread is not without risk — one of Grier’s twin gingerbread towers collapsed during construction, he said. Ferry construction also had delays. “We had some cracking issues, which was appropriate,” Shannon Murock said. Tying for second place in the “group” category was a two-story gingerbread log cabin created by sisters Laura and Katy Forest. “Did you see the bear?” Laura Forest asked as people viewed the cabin, which bordered a river with a shark and a mermaid swimming in it. The other second-place winner: a decorated birdhouse with a heart-shaped entrance by the Freita and Nickasia families. Emily Skeel, 9, took first place in the under-12 age category with two small cottages, peppermint stepping stones spanning a river between them. Honorable mentions in the under-12 age category went to Amani Dunston and Hannah Bahls.

Rain to keep anglers home I COME BEARING bad news my dear Peninsulites. It appears you’re actually going to have to Matt spend time with Schubert your family during the holidays. The way the steelhead fishing scene is shaping up this next week, there will be few chances to get away from grandma and the gang. So sit back, choke down a few extra glasses of egg nog and nod vacantly while Aunt Mary recalls her recent trip to Niagara Falls. Just remember, you will be rewarded for this eventually. It’s called inheritance.
Be steel my heart Santa Claus must be a rainmaker. His arrival on the North Olympic Peninsula appears destined to be a wet one. And with rivers already on the rise due to constant rainfall the past few days, steelheading prospects are looking awfully dim this weekend. “I don’t know when we’re going to be fishing again, but it ain’t going to be for a few days,” Bob Gooding at Olympic Sporting Goods (360-3746330) in Forks said. “You could still fish the Sol Duc [Thursday], but it wouldn’t have been very good because it’s coming up.” Yes, rising rivers rarely result in good fishing around these parts. Fish just don’t want to bite in such conditions for whatever reason, be it because they’re traveling so fast upriver or they are simply unmotivated. Thus, a five-day forecast like the one we’re looking at right now — rain followed by more rain — doesn’t bode well for anyone looking to hook a holiday steelie. “This is a time you tie more leaders, clean your reels [and] do your maintenance stuff,” Brian Menkal of Brian’s Sporting Goods and More (360-683-1950) in Sequim said. “That’s about all you can do. It’s just going to be totally wiped out.” That’s quite a shame considering all of the fish that have flooded West End rivers in recent weeks. A steady trickle of winter steelhead have entered the Bogachiel Hatchery traps since early December, with 732 counted since Dec. 9. Even more have been seen around the Calawah and Sol Duc, including a few Snyder Creek fish. Yet even plunkers will have a hard time hooking one during the next week. “If it rains every day from now through Tuesday [as forecasted], that might not be in the cards,” Gooding said. “The rivers came up [Wednesday] and they are coming up still. “It just depends on how much it rains.” The lazy man’s fishery tends to be popular during the high water holiday season. Set up a fire, drop a Spin-N-Glo into the river and start ripping off the beer curls. That’s plunking in a nutshell. As long as you can hold your booze well enough to occasionally get up and check your line, you can be an accomplished plunker. Unfortunately, the conditions likely won’t be decent enough for that holiday tradition to continue this year. I suppose egg nog and snoreinducing slide shows will just have to do this time around.
Ski season arrives? There is one thing that should be available to the snow sport inclined. As long as the weather cooperates — a bit of a concern given the extended forecast — skiers and snowboarders will have the chance to hit Hurricane Ridge this weekend. Turn

Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck throws against the Atlanta Falcons in the first half last Sunday in Seattle. Hasselbeck says he hopes to make up for his past two performances at Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Hawks hope to rebound Hasselbeck expecting to play better in Tampa By Tim Booth
The Associated Press
RENTON — It’s not every week that Matt Hasselbeck gets pulled aside by Pete Carroll and talked to about his performance from a day earlier. Carroll made a point of doing it this past Monday, a day after yanking Hasselbeck from the Seahawks’ 34-18 loss to Atlanta after the quarterback committed three third-quarter turnovers that led to 17 Atlanta points. “We just kind of went over
the game in more detail, talked through everything and I think more than anything he wants to be more involved in terms of communicating better throughout the week and stuff like that,” Hasselbeck said Thursday. “I think he does a great job of getting messages across and communicating and coaching and just helping his players be successful. I think that was probably the biggest thing.” Later that day, Carroll said Hasselbeck would continue as the Seahawks starter, even after
backup Charlie Whitehurst entered and performed well in the closing Next Game minutes of Seattle’s lat- Sunday est loss, its vs. Buccaneers sixth in eight at Tampa Bay Time: 1 p.m. games. Yet for all On TV: Ch. 13 the turnovers Hasselbeck’s been responsible for in the past four weeks, Carroll believes the veteran quarterback remains the best option to try to slide the Seahawks into the playoffs in Carroll’s first year back in the NFL. All Seattle needs are wins
over Tampa Bay and St. Louis to win the division title. “It has to do with we think that Matt can get the job done for us,” Carroll said. “We have to keep him in good situations and we have to play good football around him.” The best situation to keep Hasselbeck out of is playing from behind. Hasselbeck has 13 turnovers in the past four games — 10 interceptions and three fumbles — and most of those come when Seattle is trailing. That leads to Hasselbeck trying to force plays, especially in the past two weeks, that have turned exceedingly bad for the Seahawks. Turn

Mt. Tahoma too much for PA Roughriders lose to tough Class 4A team Peninsula Daily News
PORT ANGELES — Coach Mike Knowles wanted a test for his solid Port Angeles girls basketball team. Be careful what you ask for, though, as Class 4A Mt. Tahoma — one of the best teams in the state — put on a clinic with speed, size, pressure and outstanding long-range shooting Thursday night. The T-Birds beat the previously undefeated Roughriders 78-48. “That was a good match for us,” Knowles said. “I knew it would be a good test. “I told the girls going in that I didn’t care what the score is, that we have to learn from this game and build on it for the postseason.” The Riders were pressured for the whole game, hounded into many turnovers and wore down by physical play inside by the T-Birds’ 6-foot-7 post Jessi Williamson. But what really hurt the Riders was senior guard Deborah Anderson, who came in averaging 34 points per game but ended up scoring 37. She put up seven 3-pointers, many from 5 to 8 feet beyond the 3-point line. “They are really quick and they put a lot of pressure on us for the whole game,” Knowles said. Plus the T-Birds put the clamps down on Port Angeles scoring wizard Jessica Madison, holding her way below her average for only 10 points. Turn

Port Angeles High School wrestling head coach Erik Gonzalez holds the Battle for the Axe trophy while his team celebrates around him after the Roughriders won their own eight-team tournament Wednesday. The Riders beat powerhouse La Center 37-36 in a tie-breaker after the two teams tied 36-all in the championship match. “It was a total team effort,” Gonzalez said. “So many kids stepped up and did their job to enable us to win the ax back.”
Preps: Neah Bay teams sweep Continued from B1 “They double-teamed her the whole game,” Knowles said. “She never got a good look.” Picking up the slack, though, was Alison Knowles, who sank 18 points.

Pryor among 5 Buckeyes banned The Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Welcome to Tattoo U. What started out as a trip to a Columbus tattoo parlor by a couple of football players has created all sorts of mayhem for star quarterback Terrelle Pryor and Ohio State. Pryor and four teammates were suspended Thursday by the NCAA for the first five games of next season for selling championship rings, jerseys and awards. They also received improper benefits — from up to two years ago — from the tattoo parlor and its owner. “I learned more about tattoos than I ever really want to possibly know,” athletic director Gene Smith said. “As a student-athlete, you’re not allowed to use your persona to get discounted services.” The NCAA said all can
still play in the Sugar Bowl against Arkansas on Jan. 4. Ohio State’s first five games next season are against Akron, Toledo, Miami, Colorado and Michigan State. Ohio State plans to appeal, hoping the number of games might be reduced. Tattoos can run anywhere from $50 to hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Many college athletes have more than one. Pryor certainly does. One arm alone is covered from his biceps to his wrist. “I paid for my tattoos. Go Bucks” Pryor posted on his Twitter account Wednesday night. He even sold a sportsmanship award from the 2008 Fiesta Bowl along with his 2008 Big Ten championship ring. More egregious to Ohio State fans, he sold a “gold pants” trinket — an iconic charm given to players who are a part of a
victory over archrival Michigan. He may not be easily forgiven by Buckeye fans who revere such traditions. His teammates also sold Big Ten championship rings — the Buckeyes have won the last six conference titles — plus football jerseys, pants and shoes. Along with Pryor, leading rusher Daniel “Boom” Herron, No. 2 wide receiver DeVier Posey, All-Big Ten offensive tackle Mike Adams and backup defensive end Solomon Thomas must sit out the five games and donate $1,000 to $2,500 — the value of the things they sold or the discounts they received — to charity. A sixth player, freshman linebacker Jordan Whiting, must sit out the first game of the 2011 season and pay $150 to a charity. Smith said the punishment should be mitigated because of how the players
used the money they received. “The time this occurred with these young men was a very tough time in our society. It’s one of the toughest economic environments in our history,” he said. The decisions that they made they made to help their families.” Smith was asked how getting money for their families jibed with getting free or cut-rate tattoos. “The discount on tattoos is not as big as the other pieces,” he said. “I’m not trying to make those two the same. But the cash was relative to family needs.” The Associated Press left several phone messages at what is believed to be the tattoo parlor in question. Smith, coach Jim Tressel and the NCAA did not provide its name because it is part of an ongoing federal investigation.

Steelers win big The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — There was no drama, no surprises. The Pittsburgh Steelers are closing in on a division title and a bye in the first round of the playoffs, and the Carolina Panthers provided little resistance. Ben Roethlisberger showed off Pittsburgh’s deep passing game and the Steelers cruised past the Panthers 27-3 on Thursday night. “It’s definitely playoff football right now,” safety Ryan Clark said. “We want that bye, at least one game on our home field.” Pittsburgh (11-4), bouncing back from Sunday’s 22-17 loss to the Jets, will wrap up the AFC North and the bye if it beats Cleveland on Jan. 2. The Browns (5-9) could end the division race even earlier than that if they upset the Ravens (10-4) at home on Sunday. “There’s some hardware out there for us, the AFC North title, and that more than anything is what we’re focused on,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. Roethlisberger found Mike Wallace on a 43-yard scoring play and Emmanuel Sanders on a 35-yard completion to set up Rashard Mendenhall’s 1-yard touchdown run as the Steelers opened a 20-0 halftime lead. Roethlisberger ended 22 of 32 for 320 yards and no interceptions. It didn’t seem that close and it wasn’t, not with Pittsburgh outgaining the Panthers (2-13) by 408-119
while controlling the line of scrimmage, the clock and a Jimmy Clausen-led Carolina offense. “It’s good to be in the clubhouse before everyone else this weekend with a necessary win,” Tomlin said. It hasn’t been much of a season for the Panthers, who have lost eight of nine, and this wasn’t much of a game. Jonathan Stewart, who averaged 115 yards in his previous four games, was held to 71 yards by a defense that has allowed one 100yard rusher in 49 games. “They’re 2-13 for a reason, and you’ve got to keep them that way,” Clark said. “You don’t want to give them any confidence they can play it down to the wire, so we put it away early.” Carolina, the NFL’s only winless team on the road, took the opening kickoff, drove to the Steelers 32 and chose to punt on fourthand-6 as a disappointed Clausen (10 of 23, 72 yards) threw his hands up in disgust. “I thought offensively we came out fast, running the ball well, got a few first downs quick,” Clausen said. “And just from there, I don’t know what happened.” That was about it for the Panthers, who had zero net yards and no first downs from the end of the first quarter until the final 90 seconds in the third.

Zags go into break with 3-game win streak The Associated Press
SPOKANE — Gonzaga has not dominated early season opponents like so many Bulldogs teams of the past, but progress is being made. Playing without injured scoring leader Steven Gray, Gonzaga rode its first threegame winning streak of the season into the Christmas break after downing Xavier 64-54 on Wednesday night. Gray played for Chimacum High School before transferring to Bainbridge High School. “We’re now starting to find our roles,” said Robert Sacre, who led the Bulldogs with a season-high 22 points. “We lost some tough games at the beginning. We kind of didn’t know our roles yet. We’re still young, but we can’t make any excuses.”

“We’re now starting to find our roles. We lost some tough games at the beginning. We kind of didn’t know our roles yet.

Tu Holloway, the only other player on either team with more than nine points, led Xavier (7-3) with 26 points and a career-high five steals. Holloway also had a game-high seven turnovers.

However, the Bulldogs shot a season-best 88.2 percent at the line, with season highs of 34 attempts and 30 made free throws. Sacre sank all 10 of his free throws, and Harris went 9-for-10 at the line. Few lauded the inside defense of Sacre and Harris. They helped hold Xavier center Kenny Frease scoreless in his first game since scoring a career-high 22 points against Wake Forest.

Hurricane Ridge open over holiday weekends (except for Christmas)
By Paige Dickerson Peninsula Daily News
OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK — Those new skis, snowshoes or sleds can be tried out at Hurricane Ridge the day after Christmas. Neither the road to the snowy playground 17 miles south of Port Angeles nor the visitor center or other activities will be open Saturday — Christmas Day — but today, Sunday and Monday, Hurricane Ridge will host a variety of winter activities — including the first day of downhill skiing on the Ridge on Sunday. The Hurricane Ridge Winter Sports Club will
operate tows to the top of the ski runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday and Monday, said Craig Hofer, mountain manager. Most weekends, the tow ropes and Poma lift are open only Saturdays and Sundays, but because of the Christmas holiday, they will be open Sunday and Monday too.

About $77,000 in donations — which included $5,000 from the city of Sequim, $20,000 from Clallam County and $20,000 from the city of Port Angeles — were raised to aug-
ment another $250,000 in federal funds to pay for additional snowplowing to keep the road open in the winter. The federal Department of Interior is providing the matching funds on a trial basis for up to three years to see if the open road does indeed draw more tourism.
Numbers to Ridge Suess said Wednesday about a dozen cars traveled to Hurricane Ridge on Monday and Tuesday. Suess was not available Thursday. The Ridge was closed Saturday because of bad weather. The road was closed for a few hours Monday and Tuesday because of weather. “On Monday, we closed it due to weather at 1:30 p.m., and then we
were able to reopen Tuesday around 11 a.m.,” Suess said. The number of cars that traveled to the Ridge “is pretty good, since we had to close parts of both days because of high winds,” he said. Willie Nelson, whose his 12-person van operates twice daily between Port Angeles and Hurricane Ridge from Wednesdays through Saturdays, said increased access has sparked a lot of interest. “I had a full load [Wednesday] on two trips,” Nelson said. “I’ve had people from Los Angeles to Olympia, and people in Seattle and Northern California are availing themselves of being able to get up there during the week,” he added.

Briefly . . . PT church helps support OlyCAP effort PORT TOWNSEND — The Port Ludlow Community Church organized a major holiday effort in support of Olympic Community Action Program’s Housing Services Division. “We were all really moved by the church’s generosity,” division director deForest Walker said. The church put together 53 shoe-box gifts for residents at the winter emergency shelter housed in the basement of the American Legion Hall in Port Townsend. The wrapped shoe boxes were packed with scarves, socks, hats, personal comfort items and snacks. The church also adopted six families in the transitional housing program, and church members volunteered to shop for gifts appropriate for each family member. Church members also hosted a Christmas party at the South Seven Senior Village, providing dinner for the residents.
Proceeds support programs of the Jefferson County Historical Society.

AS I COME to the last Peninsula Daily News column I will be writing before my upcoming retirement, I want to share a touching story that I read some time ago. Tuberculosis was killing 23-year old Eleanor Munro. Physicians had tried everything and had given up hope. Her husband had TB when he returned from overseas after World War II, but before it was detected and checked, they had married, and having no immunity against the disease, she caught it. It lodged in an almost impossible place to treat — the lower lobe of her lung. The only treatment was for the TB cavity to be forced shut so nature could have a chance to heal it by letting the sides grow together. If it had been in the upper lobe, ribs could have been removed to collapse the lobe, but her body needed the lower ribs for support. Needles were inserted to pump in air to force the lung to collapse, but it didn’t work. They even considered removing the lung, but Eleanor was too sick to withstand the surgery. When Dr. MacDougall told Eleanor there was nothing more they could do,
Issues of faith Dale
she
Kongorski extracted a
promise that if she were alive on Christmas Eve, she be allowed to go home. He promised, but only because he was sure she would be dead by then. But she wasn’t. So with warnings to not hold her child and to wear a surgical mask if talking to anyone but her husband, she was taken home by ambulance. She came back to the hospital the following night, and her health continued to slip until she could no longer feed herself, but she refused to die. Toward the end of February, she was down to 80 pounds when new complications set in. She became nauseated and began to vomit even without food in her stomach. A specialist was brought in and, after examining her, asked if she could be pregnant. Impossible! How could her dying body have conceived? How could it support another life? But the test was positive.

season that we, too, are saved by the miraculous birth of a child. Hopelessly diseased by sin and its consequences, we had no future. But God brought forth a child, and through that child, we are healed. As we go about our Christmas celebrations this weekend, I urge you to keep your focus upon the child. That child is what Christmas is all about, and that child is what our future is all about.

Aborting the child was not an option; she was so weak the procedure would have killed her. Then an amazing thing happened — she began to get better. By late March, her temperature was coming down. A chest X-ray showed that the growth of the TB cavity had stopped; her diaphragm was pushing up against the lower lobe of her diseased lung to make room for the growing child. The child was saving the mother. What science couldn’t do, God did through the miracle of a child. Just as this mother was saved by the child she miraculously bore, so we are reminded at this Christmas

Vigor has deal to buy Todd Shipyards
Walgreens profit rises 19 percent
Peninsula Daily News
DEERFIELD, Ill. — Walgreens, the largest U.S. drugstore chain with stores in Port Angeles and Sequim, reported a 19 percent increase in first-quarter profit, surpassing analysts’ projections and pushing the shares up the most in almost three months. Walgreens said Wednesday that net income advanced to 62 cents per share, beating the 54-cent average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Prescription sales, which generated about two-thirds of total revenue, climbed 5.3 percent. The chain remodeled stores to get rid of slower selling items, helping to lower inventories, Chief Financial Officer Wade Miquelon said on a conference call. The Deerfield-based company, which competes with drug chains such as CVS Caremark Corp. and Rite Aid Corp., said it is on track to meet its goal of lowering costs by $1 billion this year. The shares climbed $2.02, or 5.5 percent, to $38.85 in New York Stock Exchange composite trading Wednesday, the most since Sept. 28. They have advanced 5.8 percent this year.

‘Fantastic Friday’ Many with day off could mob stores By Ellen Gibson
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Today is Black Friday, The Sequel. Stores are rolling out deals and expect to be swimming in Christmas Eve shoppers as many take advantage of a day off work. For retailers, the lastminute rush caps the best year since 2007, and possibly ever. With Christmas falling on a Saturday this year, today is a holiday for most U.S. workers. That lets shoppers hit the stores first thing in the morning. “I’m calling it Fantastic Friday because I really do think it’s going to be one of the busiest days of the year,” said Marshal Cohen, chief fashion industry analyst with researcher NPD Group. A strong Christmas Eve would round out a surprisingly successful holiday season for retailers. The National Retail Federation predicts that holiday spending will reach
$451.5 billion this year, up 3.3 percent over last year. That would be the biggest year-over-year increase since 2006 and the largest total since spending hit a record $452.8 billion in 2007. A strong finish could even give 2010 the crown. While both are heavy shopping days, Christmas Eve draws a different breed of buyer than Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and the unofficial start to the holiday shopping season.
Different shopper “Those who get up and brave the cold on Black Friday are usually looking for hot items, not only to buy gifts, but to score something for themselves,” said Kathy Grannis, a spokeswoman for the National Retail Federation. “They’re planners, and they map out what they want to buy.” Shoppers who come out on Christmas Eve, on the other hand, are either waiting for the biggest discounts
or they didn’t have the money to spend earlier, she said. Or they just tend to dillydally. While many Black Friday shoppers relish the hunt, last-minute buyers are harried and focused on getting things done. And true to stereotype, they are mostly men, said Dan Jasper, spokesman for Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn. Accordingly, stores are pushing men’s and women’s sweaters in their circulars, while shoes and children’s apparel take a back seat. Jewelry also tends to be a top last-minute gift item, though that category has been strong throughout the season. E-commerce has driven much of the holiday’s spending growth. For the season to-date, $28.36 billion has been spent online, a 12 increase over last year, according to research firm comScore. Online shoppers spent $900 million last weekend alone.
6% premium The purchase price works out to $22.27 per share, which is a 6 percent premium to Todd’s closing price Wednesday and 31 percent higher than the average share price for the last three months. The price of Todd’s stock has climbed during the year from a low of $13.98 to its year high of $21.25 last week. Todd’s management will remain, and all contracts will remain in place, Frank Foti, president of Vigor, said in a statement. Directors and company officers who own a combined 15.3 percent of Todd’s stock have agreed to tender their shares in favor of the offer. Foti said Vigor has secured financing commitments to buy all outstanding shares and refinance Todd’s existing debt. Two-thirds of Todd’s shares have to be tendered for the offer to go through. As part of the deal, Todd can ask for better bids from third parties through Jan. 28.
Toyota pays $10 million to settle fiery-crash suit High-profile case involved Calif. trooper The Associated Press
SEATTLE — The University of Washington Alumni Association is forming a new nonprofit organization to advocate for higher education in Olympia. The group calls itself UW Impact. They want to mobilize the university’s
300,000 alumni to get more involved in politics. UW Impact has hired two people well-known in Olympia as paid political consultants to help run the organization — Chris Vance, former chairman of the state Republican Party, and Christian Sinderman, a Democratic consultant. Neither is a UW alumnus. UW Impact is not a political action committee. It won’t back candidates or lobby. It plans to hold community meetings in all legislative districts in January, encouraging alumni to get to know their lawmakers and other political leaders.

But the circumstances of the Saylor crash stood out, even to Toyota President Ikio Toyoda, grandson of the founder of the Japanese automaker, who extended his condolences to the Saylor family in an apology he delivered to a congressional hearing in February. According to the lawsuit, Saylor was driving his wife, their 13-year-old daughter and his brother-in-law on a family outing when their car “began to accelerate on its own” and sped out of control despite Saylor’s attempts “to apply the brakes and otherwise do everything possible to stop” the car. The vehicle reached speeds of up to 120 miles per hour before it struck another vehicle, plowed through a fence, hit a berm and flew through the air, then rolled several times into a field and burst into flames. San Diego County sheriff’s investigators concluded the crash likely was caused by the gas pedal becoming stuck in an all-weather rubber floor mat designed for a larger vehicle but placed by the Lexus dealership in the sedan loaned to Saylor.

LOS ANGELES — Toyota has agreed to pay $10 million to settle legal claims from the family of a California state trooper and three relatives whose deaths in a fiery crash helped spark the automaker’s wide-ranging safety recall, lawyers said Thursday. The family’s lawsuit, filed in March in San Diego Superior Court, was part of a wave of product-liability and wrongful-death actions brought against Toyota Motor Corp. and subsidiaries over complaints of sudden, unintended acceleration in its vehicles. But the Aug. 28, 2009, crash near San Diego of a Lexus ES 350 sedan driven by off-duty California Highway Patrol Officer Mark Saylor drew intense media attention and renewed government scrutiny of safety problems leading to the recall of more than 6.5 million Toyota vehicles in the United States. Those recalls in 2009 and 2010 were ordered by Toyota for repairs of ill-fitting floor mats that can jam the accelerator and for gas pedals that did not spring back as designed. The amount of the Saylor settlement had been kept confidential since it was reached in September. But ruling in favor of the media and others, the judge Monday ordered the sum made public, and two lawyers connected with the case revealed the amount before a nonredacted version of the settlement documents could be filed in
court. T h e National Highway Traffic S a f e t y Administration is invesToyoda tigating reports that as many as 89 crash deaths since 2000 may be linked to sudden, unintended acceleration in Toyotas and the company’s luxury-line Lexus vehicles.

Couple’s kindness is paid forward
Tundra
DEAR ABBY: From time to time, you print letters about random acts of kindness. May I share something that happened to me? On Jan. 30, 2009, my husband and I took our three kids to a restaurant for breakfast to celebrate our twins’ fourth birthday. When it was time to pay our bill, the waiter told us that a couple who had been sitting behind us had taken care of our tab. What that couple didn’t know was that the day before, my doctor had informed me a lump in my neck was probably lymphoma and that he needed to do a biopsy as soon as possible. He had wanted me to meet with a surgeon that morning, but I told him no. It was the twins’ birthday, and I didn’t want them to associate their birthday with the day Mommy got sick. What that couple did was more than pay for our meal; it gave me hope. I felt it was a sign that everything would be “taken care of.” To pay it forward, we left the waiter a large tip. I did end up with Hodgkin’s disease, but I have been in remission since August 2009. Blessed in Wisconsin

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Added responsibilities will get you down. Clear your head of anything that is going to interfere with your family and the festivities you have planned. A crush on someone who is off-limits is a waste of time. You can do much better. 4 stars
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The less aggressive you are, the better the outcome. Don’t let unexpected change ruin your plans for the future. Focus on the positive. Delays or problems with neighbors or friends are likely. 4 stars
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Emotional issues will surface as you recall what and whom you have gained and lost this past year. A lesson learned will be valuable as you head down a new path. There are plenty of opportunities, so take advantage of what’s available. 3 stars
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Love is in your heart and relationships can be enhanced by the gestures you make. Don’t worry about any changes in your professional life. Now is a time to be thankful for what you have and to trust in your ability to have continued
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Get together with people you don’t see often enough and enjoy catching up. Short trips, picking up last-minute items and enjoying turning your home into a festive party palace will all get you in the mood for upcoming activities. 2 stars
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Changing your mind will confuse the people to whom you are closest and who want the best for you. An explanation will be required and speaking from the heart is the best route to take. 3 stars

Music for the day after Young performers to give post-Christmas concert By Diane Urbani de la Paz Peninsula Spotlight
PORT ANGELES — A tightly knit group of young musicians who’ve taken flight from their hometown — and come home for the holidays — will give a free concert on the day after Christmas. Elizabeth Morgan-Ellis, a 23-year-old harpist
studying for her master’s at Temple University in Philadelphia, is orchestrating the “Liz and Friends” chamber recital at 2 p.m. Sunday. The venue is St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 510 E. Park Ave., and admission is free. “I’d just like to give people a chance to hear music they wouldn’t necessarily hear,” Morgan-Ellis said, “and I really try and inspire people to be interested in the harp.”
Inspiration
Eat Local @ ����������� Cheese ������������������
Featuring Fresh, Local Fare from the Peninsula and Beyond:
Morgan-Ellis herself became enchanted by the instrument when she picked up Gwinna, Barbara Helen Berger’s tale of a girl who carves herself a harp and learns to play. Morgan-Ellis was 5 at the time; her parents signed her up for piano lessons to give her a firm musical foundation. She took up the harp at 8, played in the Port Angeles Symphony Orchestra while in high school, studied music at Western Washing-
ton University in Bellingham and then chose Temple for its “phenomenal” harp teacher, Elizabeth Hainen. Hainen is known for her solo and recital work around the world, for her work on albums such as “Classical Chillout” and “Perfect Romance,” and for her performances with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Morgan-Ellis, for her part, has orchestrated an event that also features her violinist mother Deborah, her violist father Phil, her sister Esther, a cellist at Yale University, and an ensemble of friends who are also home for winter break.

Purnell, 22, is in the midst of a triple major: musical composition, violin performance and viola performance. He hopes to go on to graduate school, as Morgan-Ellis has done. For her part, MorganEllis dreams of making a living as a pit-orchestra musician, playing in musicals, operas and ballets — and beyond that, she wants to be part of a new-music ensemble, playing the works of living composers. Sunday’s recital “is a great chance to see some chamber music you don’t see performed very often; it’s rare to see a harp player,” said Purnell. “As a kid, I don’t remember ever seeing a [chamber group] with a harpist.” This is also an uncommon opportunity to see a young, Port Angeles-bred ensemble of “paraprofessionals,” he added. The event “was Liz’s idea,” Purnell said. “She’s a really good friend of mine; musicians tend to help out their friends.”
