Jefferson wants ‘more civil venue’ By Charlie Bermant Peninsula Daily News

PORT TOWNSEND — Jefferson County commissioners are re-examining the ways they meet the public — particularly during the public comment period of their meetings — as they enter 2011. “We want to create a forum where the public can address us in a more civil venue,” said Commissioner John Austin,

who took over Monday as board chairman from Commissioner David Sullivan. “We want anyone to feel comfortable coming in here and making a statement.” Currently, public comments are allowed for approximately 30 minutes at the beginning of each weekly meeting, with each speaker allowed to address the commissioners once for a three-minute period.

Schools should have power over tuitions By Donna Gordon Blankinship The Associated Press

SEATTLE — A task force charged with finding stable money to pay for higher education in Washington state has some ideas it wants the Legislature to consider. At the top of its list announced Monday: Find someone other than state government to pay the bill. The task force formed by Gov. Chris Gregoire wants donations from individuals and corporations to finance a new $1 billion scholarship fund. And it wants to allow state colleges to raise their own tuition to keep Washington tuition and fees comparable to charges at similar institutions in other states. Currently, the Legislature sets tuition.

“We believe that the current economic challenges facing the state underscore the need for a new long-term plan.”

Brad Smith task force chair

The task force, chaired by Microsoft Corp. executive Brad Smith, was asked to find ways to increase the number of degrees awarded by 30 percent over the next decade, while dealing with budget deficits and finding a stable source of money for higher education. “We believe that the current economic challenges facing the state underscore the need for a new long-term plan,” Smith said at a news conference Monday.

Quilcene photographer uses camera as a ‘bridge to nature’ By Julie McCormick

For Peninsula Daily News

Jane Hall

North Olympic Peninsula nature photographer Keith Lazelle, who lives in Quilcene, is pictured on a trek through the Oregon dunes last summer.

Dead fir needles litter the ice on a mud puddle, where a single golden leaf lies among reflected blue light. It’s the sort of detail any Northwest walker passes daily with hardly a glance. Nature photographer Keith Lazelle hasn’t been an ordinary walker for a long time.

“To do what I’m doing, you kind of have to slow down,” said Lazelle, who lives near Quilcene. Frustrated by the way the pictures he took while hiking failed to convey the Northwest wilderness beauty he loved, Lazelle sought out another area photographic icon, Pat O’Hara, as a mentor about 30 years ago.

Jefferson special elections to cost nearly $45,000 By Paige Dickerson Peninsula Daily News

Special elections in February in Jefferson County will cost agencies a total of $44,920. Voters will be asked Feb. 8 to approve a sales tax increase of 0.3 percent to benefit Jefferson Transit, as well as property tax levies for the Port Townsend and Chi-

macum school districts. Although Clallam County residents make up the bulk of those who will vote on the Quillayute Valley School District’s twoyear replacement maintenance and operations property tax levy, about 160 residents of the West End district live in Jefferson County, said Donna Eldridge, county auditor. Jefferson Transit will pay about $23,700

for its share of the special election, Eldridge said. Port Townsend School District will pay about $11,800 and Chimacum School District will pay about $9,100, she said. The cost in Jefferson County to the Quillayute Valley district in Forks will be about $320. Ballots will be mailed Wednesday, Jan. 19, Eldridge said.

About 22,500 voters in Jefferson County will receive ballots, with all of them voting on the Jefferson Transit sales tax measure. About 11,050 voters will vote on the Port Townsend School District levy and about 8,500 on the Chimacum School District measure. Turn

Gabor faces possible leg amputation DOCTORS ARE TREATING Zsa Zsa Gabor with powerful antibiotics in hopes of avoiding amputating part of her leg. Her publicist, John Blanchette, said Monday the 93-year-old actress would continue Gabor receiving treatment at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center over the next couple days. Her husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, brought her to the hospital Sunday night, and doctors thought they might have to amputate part of her right leg below the knee because of the onset of gangrene. “The lesion is apparently very deep. They’re afraid it may be into the bone, which would not be good,” Blanchette said. “Before taking that drastic measure, they want to give it one last chance with some really powerful antibiotics.” Blanchette added the lesion has grown from about an inch a couple months ago to almost a foot.

ANNE FRANCIS, 80, the actress who played the love interest in the 1950s science-fiction classic “Forbidden Planet” and later was a sexy private eye in “Honey West” on TV, has died. Ms. Francis died Sunday at a Santa Barbara, Calif., nursing home, said Bill Guntle, a funeral Ms. Francis director at in 2006 McDermottCrockett & Associates Mortuary in Santa Barbara. Ms. Francis, who had surgery and chemotherapy after being diagnosed with lung cancer in 2007, died of complications of pancreatic cancer, her daughter, Jane Uemura, told the Los Angeles Times.

Briefly: Nation Deepwater drilling resumes for companies WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Monday it will allow 13 companies to resume deepwater drilling without any additional environmental scrutiny, just months after saying it would require strict reviews for new drilling in the wake of the BP oil spill. The government said it was not breaking its promise to require environmental reviews because the 13 companies — which include Chevron USA Inc. and Shell Offshore Inc. — had already started drilling the wells without detailed environmental studies. Drilling was suspended last year when the administration imposed a months-long moratorium following the BP spill. The ban was lifted in October, but drilling has not yet resumed in waters deeper than 500 feet in the Gulf of Mexico. U.S. officials said the 13 companies must comply with new policies and rules before resuming activity at 16 Gulf of Mexico wells. All but three are exploratory wells — the same type BP was drilling when the blowout of the Deepwater Horizon rig occurred. “For those companies that were in the midst of operations at the time of the deepwater suspensions [last spring], today’s notification is a significant step toward resuming their permitted activity,” said Michael Bromwich, director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement.

Brown sworn in SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Democrat Jerry Brown was sworn in Monday as California’s 39th governor, returning to the office he left 28 years ago but inheriting a much different and more troubled state than the one he led then. The man who once was California’s most famous bachelor took the oath of office after being introduced by his wife of five Brown years, former Gap Inc. executive Anne Gust Brown, inside Sacramento Memorial Auditorium. As California Supreme Court Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye administered the oath, Gust Brown held a Bible that had belonged to her grandfather and was used during her wedding with Brown.

Military expert found DOVER, Del. — The body of a military expert who served in three Republican administrations was found dumped in a landfill over the holiday weekend, and investigators said Monday they do not know who might have killed him. John Wheeler III, 66, was last seen Dec. 28 on an Amtrak train from Washington to Wilmington. His body was found three days later, on New Year’s Eve, as a garbage truck emptied its contents at the Cherry Island landfill. His death has been ruled a homicide. The Associated Press

Briefly: World Iran invites EU, nations to visit its nuclear sites VIENNA — Iran has invited Russia, China, the European Union and its allies among the Arab and developing world to tour its nuclear sites, in an apparent move to gain support ahead of a new round of talks with six world powers. In a letter made available Monday to The Associated Press, senior Iranian envoy Ali Asghar Soltanieh suggested the weekend of Jan. 15 and 16 for the tour and said that meetings “with high ranking officials” are envisaged. While no reason was given for the timing of the offer, it comes just weeks before Iran and the six powers follow up on recent talks that ended with agreement on little else but to meet again. The new round between Tehran, and the permanent U.N. Security Council members — the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France — plus Germany, is tentatively set for Istanbul, Turkey, in late January.

Amnesty offered ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — African leaders Monday were offering Laurent Gbagbo an amnesty deal on condition he cedes the presidency peacefully to the internationally recognized winner of Ivory Coast’s elections, an official said Monday. The African heads of state traveled to Ivory Coast to give persuasion another chance before resorting to military

intervention. The presidents of Benin, Sierra Leone and Cape Verde also visited last week without result, and Gbagbo this time they were being joined by Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga. No developments were immediately announced. Results tallied by the country’s electoral commission and certified by the United Nations showed Gbagbo lost the November election by a nearly 9-point margin to opposition leader Alassane Ouattara. Gbagbo has clung to power with the backing of the army.

Attack survivor killed BAGHDAD — Rafah Toma survived one of the most horrific attacks on Iraq’s tiny Christian community — the siege on a Baghdad church two months ago that left 68 people dead — only to be gunned down in her home Monday by thieves stealing her cash and jewelry. It was not immediately clear whether Toma’s death was the latest attack to target Iraq’s beleaguered Christians, or instead another of the brutal robberies that have become commonplace for all Iraqis, Muslim and Christian alike. The priest that found her battered body, Father Mukhlis, serves at the Our Lady of Salvation church where more than 120 people were taken hostage Oct. 31 after gunmen stormed the building during an evening Mass.

GOP House to vote on health care repeal Poll to come before Obama’s State of the Union address By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar The Associated Press

they will follow up with dozens of attempts to hack away at what they derisively call “Obamacare.” The strategy is not risk-free for the Republicans, who won’t have a replacement plan of their own ready by the time of the repeal vote. But they say there’s no time to lose. Senate Democratic leaders are sending their own “you-don’tscare-me” message.

WASHINGTON — Eager to show who’s now in charge, the House’s new Republican majority plans to vote to repeal President Barack Obama’s landmark health care overhaul before he even shows up in their chamber to give his State of the Union address. Dramatic as that early showdown promises to be — the vote will be Jan. 12, Republicans said Monday — it will be just the first Letter to Boehner in a series of struggles expected to play out in the next few months. In a letter Monday to House Speaker-to-be John Boehner, they served notice that they’ll block Obama returns today any repeal, arguing it would kill Obama returns today from his popular provisions such as holiday vacation, fresh off lameduck legislative victories late last improved prescription coverage year, and Republicans will be for Medicare. Beyond the early health care sworn in Wednesday, primed to challenge him after gaining House vote, emboldened Republicans are straining to challenge the presicontrol in last fall’s elections. Full repeal of the health care dent’s spending priorities, setting up likely conflicts over the budget law is still a long shot. The House vote would be just and the country’s debt ceiling. Those votes will be early tests the first, easiest step. But House Republicans vow of how the president will maneu-

ver with a divided Congress, as both he and Republicans look ahead to the next elections. Most likely, both parties will carry the main issues of the health care debate into the 2012 campaign, when Obama is expected to seek a second term against a Republican challenger, and House and Senate control will be up for grabs again. “It’s not going to be easy; it’s going to be a long, hard slog,” said Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, an early leader in the health care repeal drive.

‘Not going to be easy’ The quick thumbs-down vote by the House will have “tremendous utility and value,” King said, but it may take electing a Republican president in Obama’s place to accomplish the overall goal. All the while, the Obama administration intends to keep putting into place the law’s framework for covering more than 30 million uninsured people. Ultimately, Obama still has his veto pen, and Republicans aren’t anywhere close to the two-thirds majorities they would need to override.

New Year’s resolutions can be sabotaged by the brain Hard to break bad habits due to wiring By Lauran Neergaard The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Uh-oh, the new year’s just begun and already you’re finding it hard to keep those resolutions to junk the junk food, get off the couch or kick smoking. There’s a biological reason a lot of our bad habits are so hard to break — they get wired into our brains. That’s not an excuse to give up. Understanding how unhealthy behaviors become ingrained has scientists learning some tricks that may help good habits replace the bad. “Why are bad habits stronger? You’re fighting against the power of an immediate reward,” said Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse and an authority on the brain’s pleasure pathway. It’s the fudge vs. broccoli choice: Chocolate’s yum factor tends to beat out the knowledge that sticking with veggies brings an eventual reward of lost pounds. “We all as creatures are hardwired that way, to give greater value to an immediate reward as opposed to something that’s delayed,” Volkow said. Just how that bit of happiness turns into a habit involves a pleasure-sensing chemical named dopamine. It conditions the brain to want that reward again and again — reinforcing the connection each time — especially when it gets the right cue from your environment. People tend to overestimate their ability to resist temptations around them, thus undermining attempts to shed bad habits, said experimental psychologist Loran Nordgren, an assistant professor at Northwestern University’s

Quick Read

Kellogg School of Management. “People have this self-control hubris, this belief they can handle more than they can,” said Nordgren, who studies the tug-of-war between willpower and temptation.

Willpower vs. temptation In one experiment, he measured whether heavy smokers could watch a film that romanticizes the habit — called “Coffee and Cigarettes” — without taking a puff. Upping the ante, they’d be paid according to their level of temptation: Could they hold an unlit cigarette while watching? Keep the pack on the table? Or did they need to leave the pack in another room? Smokers who’d predicted they could resist a lot of temptation tended to hold the unlit cigarette — and were more likely to light up than those who knew better than to hang onto the pack, said Nordgren.

He now is beginning to study how recovering drug addicts deal with real-world temptations. But temptation can be more insidious than how close at hand the cigarettes are. Always snack in front of your favorite TV show? A dopamine-rich part of the brain named the striatum memorizes rituals and routines that are linked to getting a particular reward, explains NIDA’s Volkow. Eventually, those environmental cues trigger the striatum to make some behaviors almost automatic. Even scientists who recognize it can fall prey. “I don’t like popcorn. But every time I go to the cinema, I have to eat it,” Volkow said. “It’s fascinating.” Much of what scientists know about dopamine’s role in habit formation comes from the study of alcohol and drug addiction, but it’s a key player in more common habits, too, especially overeating.

BRISK SALES OVER the weekend have raised the jackpot for tonight’s Mega Millions lottery to $330 million. The game, in which five numbers and a sixth Mega Ball number must be matched, is played in Washington, 40 other states and the District of Columbia. Since the last jackpot was won in early November, the winnings have rolled over in the twice-weekly game to tonight’s total, which is the largest in 3½ years. The drawing is at 8 p.m. PST. The $330 million would be paid over 26 years, or the winner has the option of a lump sum payout of about $208.3 million. Multiple winners divide the prize.

Prosecutors declared a Texas man innocent Monday of a rape and robbery that put him in prison for 30 years, more than any other DNA exoneree in Texas. DNA test results that came back barely a week after Cornelius Dupree Jr. was paroled in July excluded him as the person who attacked a Dallas woman in 1979, prosecutors said Monday. Dupree was just 20 when he was sentenced to 75 years in prison in 1980. Now 51, he has spent more time wrongly imprisoned than any DNA exoneree in Texas, which has freed 41 wrongly convicted inmates through DNA since 2001 — more than any other state.

A Florida man said he’s going to spend the next month living in a fenced enclosure with two African lions. James Jablon of Spring Hill hopes the stunt will raise money for his wildlife center, Wildlife Rehabilitation of Hernando. Jablon entered the lions’ den Saturday.

He said he’s also going to build a place to sleep and hide in the trees in the enclosure, in case the lions fight with each other. His adventure is being streamed live online through Jan. 31.

Military flights rushed Monday to restock an Australian city before it was cut off by floodwaters that have turned a huge swath of the Outback into a lake, while police confirmed two more deaths in the crisis.

PORT ANGELES — Donya Alward’s behind-thescenes assistance to nearly every Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce event garnered her the chamber’s 2010 Member Extraordinaire award. Alward, director of sales and marketing for the Red Lion Hotel, works with the chamber on the Dungeness Crab and Seafood Festival, held in and around the hotel in October, as well as coordinating meeting room needs and meal and lodging packages for other chamberrelated events. Jim Hallett, the chamber’s 2010 president who continues in the post this year, selected Bill Hermann of Hermann Brothers Logging & Construction as recipient of the chamber’s 2010 President’s Award. The annual awards were announced Monday at the weekly chamber luncheon attended by about 70 people at the Red Lion’s Port Angeles CrabHouse Restaurant. The award to Alward caught her by surprise. “I’m shocked and very, very flattered,” she said.

Donya Alward Member Extraordinare While her “family is the most important thing to me,” she added, “raising up this community is very important to me. “That is why I put as much effort as I do.” Said Russ Veenema, chamber executive director: “She works with our members on a day-to-day basis and is a great example of someone who works behind the scenes and does not seek the limelight. “No matter how busy or hectic her day is — the guest always comes first.”

Hallett said Hermann represented the kind of sustainable business that he admired. “When I moved here in 1973, I was working for Motorola, and he was my first customer,” Hallett said. “He continuously takes on additional work and responsibilities and turned a business around from struggling to successful. “He continues to succeed despite what is going on

around him. “He is truly a part of the ‘Authentic Northwest.’” The chamber recently adopted a new marketing slogan — ““Port Angeles: The Authentic Northwest.” Hermann, who was surprised by the award (he was lured to the chamber lunch by a series of tricky e-mails), said the basis of his longrunning business was his family and employees. “The most important thing is that we have a

really, really strong family,” he said. “It is such a pleasure to have such a great support from my brothers and my kids.”

Employees praised

New board members beginning their terms this year included Alan Barnard with Windermere Real Estate; Ed Bedford as an atlarge member; George Bergner, another at-large member; Heidi Smart with Susan Parr Travel; and Chris McKinney with Aramark lodging and dining services.

‘Twilight’ still jolts Clallam tourism dollars Jefferson’s revenues fall off By Paige Dickerson Peninsula Daily News

Collections of room tax revenues from Clallam County hotels and motels soared more than 10 percent last year, while Jefferson County’s fell. Could Twilight have something to do with Clallam’s? The wildly popular teen book and movie craze certainly fueled record tourism on the West End in 2010. “We broke a visitor record this year,” said Mike Gurling, Forks Visitor Center office manager. Forks is where much of the “Twilight Saga” involving vampires, werewolves and a teenage girl is set.

Clallam, Jefferson Overall, Clallam County in 2010 collected $1,240,424 in so-called 10 percent “bed taxes” on hotel and motel

room rents — a 10.86 percent increase over the 1,189.21 collected in 2009. Jefferson County, which focuses on tourist attractions in Victorian Port Townsend, collected $613,668.17 in 2010 — a 6.16 percent decrease from the $653,921.26 collected in 2009. Forks had the largest increase —12.36 percent, amounting to $150,092.36 collected in 2010 over $133,585.66 in 2009. Gurling said the main reason is Twilight tourism. “We had 73,000 people sign in at the visitor center,” he said. “That is over the 69,975 in 2009.” The town of about 3,300 residents has been inundated with fans of Twilight since the first books shot to popularity in 2006. Every year since, the hotel-motel tax has slowly grown as well because many fans stay overnight.

“I can say with confidence that most of the people we have in are because of Twilight,” Gurling said. “Because school is back in, it has dropped off some, but about 95 percent of those who come in are here because of Twilight.” The four books — Twilght, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn — and their eponymous movies tell a story of Forks teen Bella Swan and her vampire boyfriend, Edward Cullen.

Town’s attractions Although the movies were not filmed in Forks, the town has set up fictitious sites and attractions in recognition of the fans. Gurling said he was not sure if the visitor trend will continue this year, but the first part of the final movie will be released in November and the last part released a year later. “I don’t know if we are starting to feel conservative, but this is uncharted

territory,” he said. “It is a phenomenon, and it is one of those situations that is hard to describe or predict.” Port Angeles also benefited from the tourism — the town is mentioned in the books and movies as a place the characters visit — noted Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Russ Veenema. He added that many non-Twilight factors played a part in Port Angeles’ increase in revenues last year. Port Angeles’ hotel and motel tax collections grew by 3.33 percent with $485,049 collected in 2010 — the second highest ever, Veenema said. The most annual revenues were $487,134 in 2007, he said. “There is no one thing causing it to be up,” he said. “We had good weather in the summer and we also had the [Dungeness Crab

and Seafood Festival] and other sporting events put on by the city — those things have helped us out. “And certainly Twilight continues to play a part, though not as big as it has been.” The growth also spurts from significant advertising in the Puget Sound region, Veenema said.

Sequim up, too

Jefferson County falls In Jefferson County, room tax revenues collected decreased by about 6.16 percent — or $613,668 collected in 2010 and $653,921 in 2009. Jennifer Wells MacGillonie, director of the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce, declined to comment, saying she hadn’t yet seen the numbers and didn’t have a pulse on why the slight downturn. In the city of Port Townsend, collections decreased from $338,145 in 2009 to $322,154 in 2010 — 4.73 percent. In unincorporated Jefferson County, the collections decreased from $315,777 in 2009 to $291,514 in 2010 — 7.68 percent.

After a 12.63 percent room tax revenue decrease in 2009 from 2008, the city of Sequim increased collections 19.33 percent — or $179,932 in 2010 over $150,779 in 2009.

One possibility would be to schedule an informal comment period for 10 minutes at the beginning of each meeting, where the commissioners would mingle with the public and address issues individually or collectively. One drawback to this format would be the difficulty of keeping a record of

such informal comments, according to Sullivan. The informal comment period would be included in addition to more structured periods that could be divided to include comments about items included or not included on the agenda under discussion. The comment period has been dominated by the same half-dozen people over the past several months and the change is meant to expand that amount, according to the commissioners. Regular participants are accustomed to speaking in

public, which is not true of many citizens. “I speak in public for a living,” Morley said. “But one occasion I spoke as a private citizen in a public meeting was frightening to me, as this kind of situation can put a lot of pressure on a person.” As chairman, Austin has not determined how — or if — his approach will differ from that of his predecessor. “There will be natural differences in style,” he said. “But the general conduct

of the board is determined by the three commissioners.” Austin, who was elected to a second term, has never served as chair of the board. Sullivan served at the helm for two years, preceded by Commissioner Phil Johnson, who served four. Even so, Austin doesn’t see the position as secure.

Port Townsend Port Townsend School District is requesting a fouryear replacement educational programs and operation property tax levy which would collect $3.1 million its first year in 2012 and about 4 percent more each year. It is a 4.5 percent increase over the current levy of about $3 million. The current levy rate is $1.17 per $1,000 assessed valuation, which means the owner of a $200,000 home pays about $234 in property taxes. The estimated rate would be $1.23 per $1,000

assessed valuation the first year and would gradually increase to $1.39 per $1,000 assessed valuation in 2015. That means the owner of a $200,000 home would pay $246 in 2012 property taxes and $278 in 2015. “We tried to keep it as low as we can,” Superintendent Gene Laes said. The money would go toward maintaining the current programs not funded by the state — such as extracurricular activities, he said, and add $17,000 to add new materials to the school libraries, he said. “We also would increase our textbook adoption and staff development,” Laes said. “It is always critical to pass these,” the superintendent said. “It is not just extra money,” Laes said. “It is money for the school district because the state is not

New college program will change Jefferson “And as the economy improves, we should create a college that looks like Port Townsend, with a combination of online instruction and a place where students can come for support.”

Courses will keep, attract students, Chamber of Commerce is told By Charlie Bermant Peninsula Daily News

PORT TOWNSEND — A future four-year college program will begin to change the economic complexion of Jefferson County in the next 18 months, the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce was told Monday. “Higher education is the most important economic strategy that the community can pursue,” said Scott Wilson, a member of the Jefferson Higher Education Committee. “Additionally, having a more robust adult education component in the county makes us a more

attractive place for people to move to.” Along with Wilson, publisher of the weekly Leader newspaper, the chamber audience heard from Peninsula College President Tom Keegan and Erin Fristad, director of Goddard College’s Port Townsend campus. Both colleges share an 8,000-square-foot building in Fort Worden State Park, with plans to renovate a nearby building that will double classroom space and course offerings. The remodeling project is estimated to cost around $6 million, and all but $1.5 million is already pledged, according

Online coursework The Goddard model, in which students spend only a few days of each semester on campus and complete most of their work online, is ideal for Port Townsend, according to Fristad.

University leaders have been asking for more tuition flexibility to help them control their own budgets. The Washington Pledge Scholarship Program would seek to collect $1 billion over the next decade from individual donors and businesses. To attract corporate donations, the task force wants to give businesses a Washington tax credit once the state’s budget stabilizes. To improve the state’s efficiency at granting college degrees, the task force recommends an incentive program that would give money to colleges and universities that meet graduation goals.

Number of Losers grows in Forks You hear it on the streets of Forks a lot these days: “Hey, Loser” or “There goes a Loser.” It is never nice to call someone a loser, right? Not true; sometimes a loser is a winner. Last January, Charlotte Wedrick of Health First Fitness, 711 S. Forks Ave., decided to organize her own version of the popular television show, “Biggest Loser.” The first three Forks’ Biggest Loser programs were each 12 weeks long. Biggest Loser winners for program 1 were Nellie Baysinger, Sarah Soha, Shawna Peters and Rhonda Prose. Biggest Loser 2 was a team competition, and the winning Losers were Bob Stark and Lee Moore on one team and Linda Cortani and Kathy Hjelmeseth on the other. Biggest Loser 3 team winners were Michelle Klepps and Candice Germeau. Individual female Loser was Klepps, who lost 44 pounds, and individual male Loser was Ron Kerschner who lost 36. A special “trainers choice” award was bestowed by Wedrick on Dee Wahlgren and Sarah Attwood, who lost a total of 102 combined. The most inspirational Loser was awarded to Christi Peterson. Wedrick’s program goal is to create a long-term commitment to lifestyle change. All participants receive an orientation, so they know what they are in for. Some of the basics of the program are no deep-fried food, pop, processed carbohydrates or processed meats, and no chemicalbased foods. All participants create a time management plan and keep a journal. They are encouraged to journal each day regarding their nutrition and exercise. Each Loser’s plan is individually tailored. Physical activity and work schedules are factored in to the workout and eating schedule. Wedrick encourages Losers to eat five times a day using portion control and firing up their metabolisms. One person complained that she was actually eating all the time. Since so much overeating has psychological overtones, Wedrick tells participants to ask themselves, “Why am I eating?” They they’re to identify the emotion — are they bored, mad, depressed? Recognize the emotion and then change the energy with alternate activity, change the pattern, change the eating.

Peninsula Voices Not socialism In the Dec. 23 letter, “It’s Socialism,” the writer incorrectly defines and wrongly denigrates socialism. Sub-prime lending, burdening impoverished people with unpayable debt, is antithetical to socialism. Predatory lending, in the name of the Community Reinvestment Act, structural adjustment by the International Monetary Fund/ World Bank, or any other variation, is ultracapitalistic. Socialism would not redistribute wealth from workers’ production to provide extreme luxuries for a relative few while leaving more vulnerable people without necessities.

That is how it is redistributed under capitalism, aka corporatism and plutocracy. Also, the claim that the Democrats are socialist is false. Though some Democrats have supported some socialistic safety-net policies, the party largely maintains extreme wealth and power inequalities — the same as the Republicans do, even if not to the same degree. In a truly socialist system, workers (of any gender, color, nationality, age, sexual orientation, religion, ability-level, etc.) would decide what and how much to produce to provide for the common good. Everyone, including more vulnerable humans

such as children and persons who are elderly, out of work and/or with disabilities, would have enough of the produced wealth for necessities plus reasonable extras. One socialist norm would be that each person would exercise “individual responsibility,” but in addition, individuals would honor our responsibilities to the community, and the collective would honor its responsibilities to each human within it. A socialist system would be based on these good, sound morals and should be enacted immediately, whether anyone gets “a feel good” about it or not. Tracey Ann Schilling, Port Angeles

Law nullification If we are to preserve our freedom under the Constitution, then the states must rein in our out-of-control federal government by enforcing the Constitution through nullification of unconstitutional federal laws, rather than by revising the Constitution through an inherently risky constitutional convention process.

gated by folks like Cal Thomas. Thomas’ Dec. 30 column on this [“Sarah Palin Was Right: ‘Death Panels’”] was outrageous, filled with distortions and lies in the matter of advanced health directives. In our state, we have a form called a POLST (Physicians Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment). I have one, my husband has one and so does my 94-year old father. I know exactly what the final wishes are for these two men in my life with respect to CPR and what level of medical intervention they wish to receive, from comfort measures only (Dad), to full-on treatment, including intubation (husband). I know how they want

antibiotics used and whether or not they wish to receive artificial nutrition via feeding tube. And my husband has this information for me. I find this extremely comforting, knowing that I will be able to follow their care wishes to the letter, that my feelings, thoughts and wishes do not come into play, along with fear, guilt and uncertainty over what they would have wanted at the end. I encourage everyone to speak to their physicians in the New Year if they don’t already have a POLST on file and get one done. Your family will thank you for your thoughtfulness.

Orange Bowl

The Associated Press

Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck fakes a handoff as he leads the Cardinal against Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl on Monday in Miami.

Luck is with Stanford in win By Steven Wine

The Associated Press

MIAMI — John Elway flashed his familiar grin and Jim Harbaugh gave a jubilant shout from the sideline as Andrew Luck sprinted up the field to join a celebration in the end zone. Nearly a quarter remained in the Orange Bowl, but the Stanford Cardinal were on the way to their first bowl victory in 14 years. And it was a blowout. Luck, the Heisman Trophy runner-up, threw for 287 yards and four touchdowns Monday night to lead fifth-ranked Stanford past No. 12 Virginia Tech 40-12. “I’m extremely excited,” Luck said. “Couldn’t be happier for the Stanford community.” It was a performance reminiscent of Elway, the former Stanford quarterback who is expected to become the Denver Broncos’ chief football executive this week. He served as an honorary captain, and ex-Stanford QB Jim Plunkett was also on hand to lend support. The Cardinal (12-1) likely will end the season ranked in the top 5 for the first time since the unbeaten 1940 team finished No. 2. Their success comes only four years after they went 1-11 and hired Harbaugh as coach to lead a turnaround.

18 straight years Virginia Tech (11-3), playing in a bowl game for the 18th consecutive year, fell to 1-27 against top-5 teams. Stanford threw a completion for a bizarre safety and blew two extra points, but overcame those mistakes with six plays gaining more than 30 yards. Two came in succession on a twoplay, 97-yard “drive,” and the Cardinal outscored Tech 27-0 in the second half. “They’re really good, and we helped them be good,” Hokies coach Frank Beamer said. “There were a couple of long plays against our defense, and then the game got away from us. The thing kind of snowballed.” Tight end Coby Fleener caught scoring passes of 41, 58 and 38 yards from Luck, all in the final 21 minutes. Zach Ertz had a 25-yard TD reception, Jeremy Stewart scored on a 60-yard run and Stepfan Taylor added a 56-yard run. Fullback-linebacker Owen Marecic scored on a 1-yard run and had a sack. Luck went 18-for-23 and was chosen the Orange Bowl most valuable player. Fleener had six catches for 173 yards for the Cardinal, who outgained Tech 534-288. The game might have been the last at Stanford for Harbaugh and Luck. Turn

Seattle quarterback Charlie Whitehurst prepares to get a pass off as the Seahawks’ Russell Okung, right, tries to block St. Louis Rams’ George Selvie in the second half Sunday. Whitehurst started only the second game of his pro career, and coach Pete Carroll isn’t sure if Whitehurst or Matt Hasselbeck will start Saturday’s game.

But the most important thing is that the Seahawks are still playing while most NFL teams are watching from the sidelines in the postseason. “We battled like crazy for this as did the other teams in our division as did the teams in other divisions, so we’re the last guys standing here,” Carroll said Monday. “We’re proud of that and we’re going to go represent and hopefully do something really special with our opportunity and see how far we can go.”

Probably not. But now the Seahawks get a chance to prove they belong against the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints on Saturday in the firstround of the playoffs. While the debate rages about the Seahawks’ playoff merits, the biggest question for Seattle remains who will be its quarterback. Seattle coach Pete Carroll remained noncommittal on Monday, saying that Matt Hasselbeck and Charlie Whitehurst will split reps early in the week before a decision is made on the starter.

“They did that and I think they should be rewarded.” Statistically, the Seahawks have no right being in the postseason.

Seattle game best final Sunday rating NEW YORK — Fans still tuned in to see two teams face off for a playoff berth even though neither had a winning record. The Seahawks’ win over the St. Louis Rams to clinch the NFC West title with a 7-9 mark drew the highest preliminary television rating for the final game of “Sunday Night Football” in its five years on NBC.

Orange: Stanford stomps VT Continued from B1 Harbaugh is expected to be courted by NFL teams and perhaps alma mater Michigan after leading the Cardinal to a school-record win total. Luck, a sophomore, is projected as the likely first pick in the NFL draft if he turns pro this year. “I don’t want to make an impulsive decision,” Luck said. “I’ll enjoy this as long as I can. I know the deadline is coming up, I’ll sit down with my parents, weigh the pros and cons and go from there.” Stanford began to pull away by going the length of the field in 29 seconds in the third quarter. After Delano Howell made an interception at the 3 to snuff a Tech threat, Taylor busted loose and reached Hokies territory. On the next play, Luck threw deep to Fleener for a 26-12 lead. Luck also threw for a safety that cut Stanford’s lead to 7-2. His pass was batted backward by Antoine Hopkins to 303-pound offensive tackle Derek Hall, who caught the ball rather than knocking it down and was tackled in the end zone. The Hokies’ offense had trouble scoring, though. Tyrod Taylor threw for

Stanford running back Stepfan Taylor (33) is chased by several Virginia Tech players during the second half of the Orange Bowl on Monday night in Miami. 222 yards but was held to 22 yards rushing, and Tech twice came away empty after driving inside the Stanford 35. Taylor’s scrambling skills helped the Hokies score their only touchdown. On third-and-goal he rolled left, retreated, spun 180 degrees against the

sideline near the Stanford bench and threw to David Wilson for an 11-yard score. After the play, Tyrod Taylor asked Harbaugh if he had stepped on the sideline. Harbaugh told him he hadn’t. Taylor moved the Hokies 60 yards in the final 47 seconds of the first half to set

up a 37-yard field goal by Chris Hasley, but they netted only 109 yards in the second half. “I’m still proud of my boys for this whole season,” Taylor said. “We had a heck of a season, and it’s nothing to hold your head down about right now.”

Olivo signs 2-year contract with M’s The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Miguel Olivo and the Seattle Mariners have completed their $7 million, two-year contract, bringing the catcher back to the Pacific Northwest. Seattle announced the deal Monday, which includes a club option for 2013. The deal was first agreed

upon during the winter meetings in Florida last month, but was subject to Olivo passing his physical. Seattle also has agreed to a $2.75 million, two-year contract with shortstop Brendan Ryan, acquired last month in a trade with St. Louis. In a deal that avoids arbitration, Ryan gets $1

million this season and $1.75 million in 2012. This will be Olivo’s second stint with the Mariners after spending parts of the 2004 and 2005 seasons in Seattle. Last year, he hit a careerbest .269 with 14 homers and 58 RBIs for Colorado. Olivo spent 2008 and 2009 with Kansas City and

has also played for Florida, San Diego and the Chicago White Sox. He hit a career-high 23 homers in 2009 with the Royals. To make room on the 40-man roster, Seattle designated right-hander Anthony Varvaro for assignment.

RENTON — One-time bust Mike Williams has found a home in Seattle. And instead of testing free agency, Williams decided sticking around with the Seahawks was the better move. Williams and the Seahawks announced agreement on a three-year contract extension on Monday. The deal was finalized over the weekend before Seattle beat St. Louis to win the NFC West and become the first sub-.500 division champion in league history. “I’m happy to be a part of the beginning. I can’t really put into words,” Williams said. “I’m very blessed.” It’s been a banner season for Williams, who spent the previous two years out of the NFL. The former firstround pick finished the regular season with a careerbest 65 catches for 751 yards and two touchdowns, including the only TD scored in Sunday night’s 16-6 division-clinching win over the Rams.

A second chance When Williams arrived in Seattle last April as a free-agent flier, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll seemed to be giving him a chance as a favor to a former USC player; it seemed unlikely

this would be the end result. But Williams proved worthy through his work in the offseason, eventually making Seattle comfortable enough to cut T.J. Houshmandzadeh and make Williams its starting receiver. He quickly became a favorite target of quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, posting three games with 10 or more catches this season. “I always felt like I needed to be loyal to coach Carroll. He gave me the opportunity,” Williams said. “Obviously there was some excitement about free agency and the possibilities but I knew I wanted to be here and if we could get close to where I wanted to be I was going to make it happen.” Williams said the idea of an extension was first broached around midseason. Williams and his representatives wanted to delay moving forward, but the Seahawks wanted to get a deal done and not risk Williams becoming a free agent. Williams signed a one-year deal with Seattle for the 2010 season with a base salary of $545,000. Financial details of his extension were not released. Carroll said Williams’ deal is proof that there are rewards for hard work in the Seahawks system. “It’s a statement that Mike has come back for real that he is to the point where he has instilled the confidence in us to keep him around for a good while,” Carroll said. “And he’s still just getting started.”

Holmgren fires coach Mangini The Associated Press

BEREA, Ohio — As Eric Mangini packed picture frames and two years of football into boxes, Browns president Mike Holmgren was already looking for his replacement. One day after another lost season, the search was underway in Cleveland for a new coach, the one as Holmgren put it, “can eventually someday lead us to the championship. That is my only goal.” Attention Jon Gruden, John Fox, Jim Harbaugh, Marty Mornhinweg, Brad Childress and others: Holmgren may have you on his list. For now, though, Holmgren doesn’t have his own name on it. But that could change. Granted a second season by Holmgren, Mangini was fired on Monday, dismissed less than two years after being hired by owner Randy Lerner, who was convinced he had found the next Bill Belichick. The Browns went 5-11 for the second straight season, and although they showed some significant progress under Mangini, it wasn’t enough. During a morning meeting, only hours after an embarrassing 41-9 home loss to Pittsburgh, Holmgren thanked Mangini for his efforts. Then, he told him his time was up. “It’s difficult,” Holmgren said. “I’ve never had to do this before. I like the man a lot. But I want to win here. We want to win here. We did not win enough.” At 10:04 a.m., the Browns released a statement announcing the coaching change. By 11 a.m., Holmgren was sending request forms to NFL teams asking permission to speak with their coaches. Holmgren did not reveal names of any potential candidates. His search will not not be limited to those with pro experience or ones favoring a West Coast offense. And, he doesn’t have a timetable to name Cleveland’s fifth coach since 1999. Money, he said, is no object. Only weeks ago, Holmgren hinted about a return to coaching. He hasn’t ruled it out, but the 62-year-old with three Super Bowl visits on a sparkling 17-year H a l l - o f - Fa m e - w o r t h y

resume, insists he’s enjoying his executive role. Still, the bug hasn’t completely left, and Holmgren may coach again. “I’ll always be a coach,” he said. “Heck, people in the building call me coach. To tell you right now that I would never coach again, whether it’s here or any place, that probably wouldn’t be honest. As of right now, I am the president of the Cleveland Browns and my job is to find the best coach available, the right coach for this job. That’s what I am trying to do and that does not include me right now. “I probably won’t coach again, but I don’t want to lie to you — ever.” Holmgren has not yet spoken with Fox, whose contract was not renewed in Carolina, or Gruden, the former Tampa Bay coach and ESPN analyst who worked under Holmgren in San Francisco and Green Bay.

Friend on radar Mornhinweg, Philadelphia’s offensive coordinator, is also from the Holmgren coaching tree and a close friend. All are probable targets. Interestingly, Holmgren, Fox, Gruden and Mornhinweg are all represented by the same agent, Bob LaMonte. According to several reports, the Browns have contacted the New York Giants about talking to defensive coordinator Perry Fewell. Holmgren and general manager Tom Heckert will serve as the Browns’ point men in the search he described as “pretty wide. We’re not limiting ourselves in any way.” If Holmgren can’t land one of his preferred candidates, it’s possible he will relocate his office and slide in as Cleveland’s coach. It would be a seamless transition, but that’s the backup plan. For now, Holmgren’s entering his first coaching search, hoping it will be his last. “I don’t want to do this again,” he said. “Historically, if you look at teams that don’t have to do this very much, they’ve been successful.”

drug or radiation treatment and then do a CT scan two months later to look for tumor shrinkage. Some patients only live long enough to try one or two treatments, so a test that can gauge success sooner, by looking at cancer cells in the blood, could give patients more options. “If you could find out quickly, ‘this drug is working, stay on it,’ or ‘this drug is not working, try something else,’ that would be huge,” Haber said.

By Marilynn Marchione The Associated Press

BOSTON — A blood test so sensitive that it can spot a single cancer cell lurking among a billion healthy ones is moving one step closer to being available at your doctor’s office. Boston scientists who invented the test and health care giant Johnson & Johnson announced Monday that they are joining forces to bring it to market. Four big cancer centers also will start studies using the experimental test this year. Stray cancer cells in the blood mean a tumor has spread or is likely to, many doctors believe. A test that can capture such cells has the potential to transform care for many types of cancer, especially breast, prostate, colon and lung. Initially, doctors want to use the test to try to predict what treatments would be best for each patient’s tumor and find out quickly if they are working. “This is like a liquid

A researcher works near a recently developed blood test machine that is so sensitive it can spot a single cancer cell lurking among a billion healthy ones. biopsy” that avoids painful tissue sampling and may give a better way to monitor patients than periodic imaging scans, said Dr. Daniel Haber, chief of Massachusetts General Hospital’s cancer center and one of the test’s inventors. Ultimately, the test may offer a way to screen for cancer besides the mammograms, colonoscopies and other less-than-ideal methods used now. “There’s a lot of potential here, and that’s why there’s a lot of excitement,” said Dr. Mark Kris, lung cancer chief at Memorial Sloan-Ketter-

ing Cancer Center in New York. He had no role in developing the test, but SloanKettering is one of the sites that will study it this year. Many people have their cancers diagnosed through needle biopsies. These often do not provide enough of a sample to determine what genes or pathways control a tumor’s growth. Or the sample may no longer be available by the time the patient gets sent to a specialist to decide what treatment to prescribe. Doctors typically give a

Only test now The only test on the market now to find tumor cells in blood — CellSearch, made by J&J’s Veridex unit — just gives a cell count. It doesn’t capture whole cells that doctors can analyze to choose treatments. Interest in trying to collect these cells soared in 2007, after Haber and his colleagues published a study of Mass General’s test. It is far more powerful than CellSearch and traps cells intact. It requires only a couple of teaspoons of blood and can be done repeatedly to monitor treatment or determine why a drug has stopped working and what to try next.

Canadian firm bids for Fisher Communications $211 million offer rejected by Seattle-based company The Associated Press

NEW YORK — A Canadian real estate company said Monday it has offered about $211 million for Seattle-based Fisher Communications but said the offer had been rejected. Fisher, which owns KOMO-TV and three radio stations in Seattle, saw its shares jump more than 7 percent on the news. Huntingdon Real Estate Investment Trust, a Canadian company that leases property, said Monday it is offering to pay $23.99 per share for Fisher with a combination of cash and stock. This is a premium of 10

percent over Fisher’s last closing share price of $21.80. It would value the regional TV and radio station owner at about $211 million, given the number of shares Fisher had outstanding Nov. 1. Fisher, which operates a group of 28 broadcast stations in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, did not immediately return calls seeking comment on the offer Monday morning. Its Seattle radio stations are KOMO, KVI and KPLZ. Huntingdon said Fisher has rejected the bid. In a letter to Fisher’s

board, Huntingdon CEO Zachary George criticized the company’s directors for shooting down the offer only four days after it was made Dec. 6. “We ask that you reconsider your hasty decision to reject our proposal,” he said. News of the bid pushed Fisher stock up $1.65, or 7.6 percent, to $23.45 at Monday’s close.

Since 1910 Fisher, founded in 1910, used to be a small conglomerate known as Fisher Companies. It entered the broadcasting business in 1926 and also owned flour mills, a real estate division and a major chunk of Seattlebased insurer Safeco.

The company sold its flour and food businesses in 2001, and cashed out the Safeco stake in 2008 for $104 million. Though it shed most of the real estate, it still owns Fisher Plaza, a high-tech communications and office project near the Seattle Center. The company’s largest shareholder, by far, is Gamco Funds and other entities affiliated with investor Mario Gabelli, which owned 28.6 percent of Fisher’s 8.8 million shares, according to an August regulatory filing. George D. Fisher of Des Moines, Wash., owns 5.1 percent and New York-based investment firm TowerView owns 8.9 percent, according to the company’s proxy statement in April.

$ Briefly . . . Suicide is thwarted by trash pile-up NEW YORK — A man who tried to jump to his death Monday was saved when he landed on a pile of trash bags that had accumulated in the New York streets after last week’s blizzard. Law enforcement officers said the 26-year-old man jumped from his ninth floor apartment and was taken to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan where he was listed in critical but stable condition. The New York Post quoted the man’s aunt, Katharina Capatos, as saying that he was “lucky the city had the snow and hadn’t cleared the garbage.” She said her nephew had been worried that he was about to be evicted from his rent-stabilized apartment.

Worth $50 billion SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook, the popular social-networking site, has raised $500 million from Goldman Sachs and a Russian investor in a deal that values the company at $50 billion, according to people involved in the transaction. That makes Facebook worth more than companies like eBay, Yahoo and Time Warner. The stake by Goldman Sachs signals the increasing might of Facebook, which has been bearing down on giants like Google. The money will give Facebook more firepower to steal away valuable employees, develop new products and possibly pursue acquisitions — all without being a publicly traded company. The investment may also allow earlier shareholders, including Facebook employees, to cash out at least some of their stakes. The new investment comes as the Securities and Exchange Commission has begun an

inquiry into the increasingly hot private market for shares in Internet companies, including Facebook. Some experts suggest the inquiry is focused on whether certain companies are improperly using the private market to get around public-disclosure requirements. The new money could add pressure on Facebook to go public even as its executives have resisted. The popularity of shares of Microsoft and Google in the private market ultimately pressured them to pursue initial public offerings.

12 new Boeing 777-300ER jets worth some $3.3 billion. The State Department confirmed to the Times that it had authorized an “upgrade” to the king’s plane but declined to provide further details on security grounds. In another incident, Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina demanded landing rights for its national carrier at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport as a condition for a Boeing deal. “If there is no New York route, what is the point of buying Boeing,” she was quoted as saying in a November 2009 cable. The deal went through,

but so far Biman Bangladesh Airlines has not been given the landing rights, the Times said. The Times said such practices have continued despite decades-old agreements between U.S. and European leaders to keep politics out of airline deals. But State Department officials interviewed by the newspaper defended their involvement, saying such high-value exports were crucial to President Obama’s efforts to pull the country out of its economic slump. “That is the reality of the 21st century; governments are playing a greater role in supporting their companies, and we need to do the same thing,” Robert Hormats,

under secretary of state for economic affairs, told the Times. Airbus may receive similar aid — other U.S. cables cited by the Times describe the Bush administration and French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s government scrambling to win a jet deal from oil-rich Bahrain in 2007. In the end, US diplomats convinced Bahrain to buy from Boeing after linking the signing of the deal to an upcoming visit by Bush in January 2008, the first-ever by a sitting U.S. president, the Times said. Washington has been infuriated by WikiLeaks and launched its own criminal investigation into the disclosure of the documents.

WASHINGTON — U.S. diplomats on several occasions intervened to convince foreign governments to buy aircraft from Boeing rather than its European rival Airbus, newly released diplomatic cables show. The cables, obtained by The New York Times from the whistleblower website WikiLeaks, document several incidents in which diplomats were involved in haggling over the billion-dollar deals seen as key to US economic growth. One cable describes Saudi King Abdullah responding favorably to a personal request from then-president George W. Bush in 2006 that he buy as many as 43 Boeing jets for Saudi Arabian Airlines and another 13 for the royal fleet. But the king “wanted to have all the technology that his friend, President Bush, had on Air Force One,” the cable said. Once the king’s own plane was outfitted with the world’s most advanced telecommunications and defense equipment, “’God willing,’ he will make a decision that will ‘please you very much,’” the cable said. In November, state-owned Saudi Arabian Airlines said it had signed a contract for

Seeing in-laws extremely difficult

Tundra

DEAR ABBY: How does one live peacefully and get along with one’s in-laws? I understand that everyone has different ideas, morals, etc., and I feel we should all try to respect one another’s differences. However, my in-laws make it extremely difficult to spend time with them. How does one eat at the same table with people who eat with their faces an inch from their plates and chew with their mouths open? How does one tolerate their complaining about everything and everyone? How does one coexist with people who think they’re perfect and the rest of the world is flawed? I thought about giving them an etiquette book as a gift, but my spouse told me not to waste the money. Biting My Tongue in St. Paul, Minn.

For Better or For Worse

Pickles

Dear Biting: An etiquette book would help only people who recognize they needed to consult one. The way to deal with your in-laws is, first, to remember they did one thing right: They produced your husband. Because their table manners offend you, visit with them after mealtime whenever possible. If you can’t avoid it, keep your eyes on your own plate. When they complain, respond with something positive or tactfully redirect the conversation to another subject. When they present themselves as perfect, never disagree — and see them as infrequently as possible.

Frank & Ernest

Dear Abby: My boyfriend of two years, “Bobby,” is still technically married to — and living with — his wife and child. He says he “has” to stay there because his son has learning difficulties and needs his support. Bobby wants to wait until his son is older and more stable. His wife is a shrew who is just there as a roommate. She knows all about our affair, but she wants to stay married. She says she still loves Bobby even though he no longer loves her. This triangle is stressful for me and Bobby. Don’t you think his wife should wake up and smell the coffee? Bobby and I want to get on with our life together without all of this baggage constantly interfering with your plans.

Garfield

Momma

dear abby Abigail

Van Buren

What should we do? His True Love

Dear True Love: The person who should be smelling the coffee isn’t Bobby’s wife — it’s you. You have invested two years of your life in a man who is as married as one can get. Bobby isn’t going anywhere, and the sooner you accept that fact the sooner you can find an eligible man to spend your life with. This may seem hard to accept, but if you don’t believe me, just give your “true love” an ultimatum. Dear Abby: Does a woman consider a man’s invitation to lunch as the next thing to his asking her to sleep with him? And what do others think about this invitation if the female mentions it to her husband or friends? One etiquette book said, in effect, “If the lunch is not about business, it’s about sex.” Pretty severe, I think. I asked a female co-worker to lunch for purely social reasons, but I have gotten reactions of derision from others about it. Can’t a man ask a female to lunch without some sort of negative social reaction? Let’s Do Lunch, in Missoula, Mont. Dear Let’s Do Lunch: In my book, he can. And many do. To ask someone to lunch in the bright sunlight of high noon in a casual restaurant is hardly what I’d call a proposition. And I’ve never seen an etiquette book that implied that it is. It appears the “others” you have been telling have dirty minds and enjoy razzing you.

Chocolate: Candy undergoes tempering process Continued from C1 It’s not as messy as it may sound with the right equipment, the right ingredients — Queen’s chocolate base also comes from Belgium — and the right technique. All chocolate must undergo a tempering process of heating and mixing in specialized machines. Queen turns on an overhead fan to ease the chocolate into melting to the right temperature at a gentle pace, and can tell just by looking at degree of graininess when it’s time to alter the process and begin. “We’re getting the molecules to reform,” he remarked. Queen sells hand-dipped, bite-sized truffles, chocolate-coated caramel, toffee and nougats at a several local outlets including Damiana’s Best Cellars, Sunshine Lavender and farmers markets. As the big pot of creamylooking chocolate reaches its peak, Queen teases a ball of ganache — a soft chocolate filling — onto what looks like a tuning fork with two 8-inch tines and dips, swirling the settling top into a character designating the specific flavor of the center. Once a computer techie, later a golf instructor, Queen said he’s learned over the course of the last half-dozen years of commercial chocolate making that chocolatiers must keep it local. “This is a relationship business,” he said.

Word-of-mouth Dungeness resident Yvonne Yokota’s so local that she’s not even on the Internet. “It’s mostly word-ofmouth,” she said, and apparently thriving since she recently invested in commercial equipment and left behind a woodworking business in the process. Yokota, who offers 30 different flavors of truffle, has a special relationship with Renaissance in Port Angeles, for whom she developed some specialty bars.

Julie McCormick/for Peninsula Daily News

Jim Queen’s mother, Alice, has seen him do this many times in the 15 years he’s been making hand-dipped chocolates. She also makes stunningly beautiful molded chocolates, on display next to Queen’s truffles at the Red Rooster in Sequim. “We call them the art chocolates,” owner Lisa Boulware said. American’s palates have changed during the 15 years Yokota has been making chocolate, she said, and there’s a growing appreciation for dark chocolate. “I think the reason more people aren’t doing it is because it’s not a big money maker,” she said. “You have to love it.”

Forks specialties In Forks, hand-made chocolate goodies are created by Janet and Tom Hughes, who sell the treats

in JT’s Sweet Stuffs at 80 N. Forks Ave. “I am trained to do regular chocolates, cremes and with nuts, the caramels and coatings,” Janet said, adding that her husband, Tom, makes chocolates, too. The mom-and-pop operation has “really grown,” she said, hinting that the two may expand. “We have a few secrets up our sleeve,” she said. “We are looking at two potential locations elsewhere. But, she said, “this would always be our home base.” Jennifer Michele is the new kid on the block, just moved this year to Port Townsend and with one season at the local farmers market under her belt. She brings a trained chef’s eye, a taste for

unusual combinations and chocolate-making ability honed in Oregon. Her Web site, www. jennifermichelechocolate. com, is offline during reconstruction, but customers who might like to try her salami du chocolate studded with fruit and nuts, or other offerings displaying her self-described passion for pairing savory with sweet can check what’s available at Port Townsend’s Mt. Townsend Creamery or Wild Sage tea shop. “The flavors change with the seasons,” she said. Michele also makes molded chocolates, layering in different flavors of filling in personalized combinations.
