Abandoned films traced back to PA 40-year-old reels contain family footage for locals BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — A mystery spanning the Olympic Peninsula has been solved, with the origin of 40-year-old homemade film reels found abandoned in Bremerton traced to a family still residing in Port Angeles. It is exciting to have the films returned, family member Ruth Raemer, 47, of Port Angeles said last Thursday. “A lot of those [videos] are with my older siblings,” Raemer said. “My grandfather is in there too.”
A mystery is born As reported last Wednesday by the Kitsap Sun, Bremerton Police Officer Jeff Schaefer was dispatched last September to a Bremerton home after the couple living there found vintage film reels — in various sizes — discarded in their bushes. The reels contained several homemade videos with titles such as “Leaving Detroit,” and “At
Farm in Michigan.” Schaefer contacted local media to enlist the help of the public in locating the rightful owners. Peninsula Daily News took up the case Thursday because of several references to locations within Clallam County. Other film titles in the collection, as depicted online by the Kitsap Sun, are “Oct. 71, Moving from Renton to Port Angeles,” “Lake Crescent” and “Neah Bay.” There also was a name and address — Harry C. Withers — on a first class mail envelope. A search online for Withers led to a funeral notice published by the PDN on June, 28, 2005, announcing services for Agnes Lucille Frantz Brady, 89, of Joyce — Withers’ widow. Withers, according to the funeral notice, was the father of Brady’s oldest daughter’s husband, L.E. “Rick” Withers. TURN

Hargrove takes issue with locker room rule Senator eyes transgender policy BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
OLYMPIA — A state rule allowing transgender individuals to use the locker rooms of the sex they identify with could allow others access to sensitive areas simply by claiming to be transgender, according to state Sen. Jim Hargrove. The rule was adopted in December by the Washington State Human Rights Commission. Hargrove — along with Democratic state Reps. Steve Tharinger and Kevin Van De Wege of Sequim

was the only Democrat to do so. The bill would have repealed the rule allowing transgender individuals to use the restroom or locker room that best matches their gender identity, according to The Capitol Record. “That particular bill did not repeal civil rights protections for transgenders,” Hargrove said. “It simply repealed the Human Rights Commission rule which . . . seems to me like it is going to be extremely difficult to keep men from entering women’s locker rooms.”
— represents the 24th District, which covers Clallam and Jefferson counties and part of Grays Harbor County. “I will bet you a lot of sex offenders will decide that they are going to claim to be transgender now so that they can enter locker rooms,” Hargrove, who lives in Hoquiam, said Friday. The rule “is broad enough and vague enough that any male can walk into a locker room” if they say they are transgender, he YMCA’s take said. Last Wednesday, Hargrove Hargrove said he has convoted in favor of Senate Bill 6443, tacted YMCA directors concernwhich failed on a vote of 24-25. He ing this issue, “and they just don’t

Facebook can be sued in France case FACEBOOK LOST A crucial legal battle Friday as a Paris court ruled the social network can be sued in France over its decision to remove the account of a French user who posted a photo of a famous 19thcentury nude painting. The ruling by the Paris appeals court could set a legal precedent in France, where Facebook has more than 30 million regular users. It can be appealed to France’s highest court. It means a French court will now be entitled to hear the case of Frederic Durand-Baissas, a 57-year-old Parisian teacher and art lover whose Facebook account was suspended five years ago without prior notice. That was the day he
posted a photo of Gustave Courbet’s 1866 “The Origin of the World,” which Duranddepicts female geni- Baissas talia. He wants his account reactivated and is asking for $22,550 in damages — and said he’s “glad” he has been given the chance to get some sort of explanation from the powerful social network. “This is a case of free speech and censorship on a social network,” DurandBaissas told The Associated Press in a phone interview. “If (Facebook) can’t see the difference between an artistic masterpiece and a pornographic image, we in France (can).” Facebook, which has not given an explanation for the suspended account,
could not immediately be reached for comment after the ruling. Its current “Community Standards” page says: “We restrict the display of nudity because some audiences within our global community may be sensitive to this type of content — particularly because of their cultural background or age.” It also says, “We also allow photographs of paintings, sculptures, and other art that depicts nude figures.” However, Durand-Baissas’ lawyer said that Facebook has changed its language on this subject in recent years. Its lawyers had argued that such lawsuits could only be heard by a specific court in California where it has its headquarters, and that French consumer rights law can’t apply to its users in France because its worldwide service is free.

TOMMY KELLY, 90, the 12-year-old boy cast as Tom Sawyer in 1937, died Jan. 26. For his improbable turn as one of the nation’s bestloved literary characters, Tommy became a newspaper sensation — a stickballplaying Cinderella plucked from his modest East Bronx surroundings in the thick of the Depression and thrust onto the silver screen. Mr. Kelly was never especially keen on Hollywood: As he told the press, his only real ambition was to be an outfielder for the New York Giants. He appeared in a string of other films through 1950, but spent his adult life, happily, as a teacher and an educational administrator. With his freckled face, tousled hair and devil-maycare grin, young Tommy certainly looked the part of Mark Twain’s hero, if he did not strictly sound it. Oh, he said “gosh” and “golly,” all right, as his many interviews attest. But he also confided to the press, when asked about his young co-star, Ann Gillis, who played Becky Thatcher: “You can’t trust dames. Girls are squealers. Look what happened to Dillinger.” In Hollywood, Tommy spent an hour a day with a speech coach to de-Runyonize his diction. The result, according to the critics, was remarkable. “There should be an Academy Award for the man who mined Master Kelly,” The Pittsburgh PostGazette’s reviewer wrote. “The lad is a miracle of casting, superlatively real and un-actorish, a youngster whose freckled, fresh face reflects all of Tom’s lovable qualities and who reminds us pleasantly, as Samuel Clemens hoped he would, of
what we once were ourselves.” The fourth of five children of Michael Kelly and the former Nora McDonald, Thomas Francis Kelly was born in the Bronx on April 6, 1925. Twelve years later, Oscar Serlin, a Broadway producer whom David O. Selznick had conscripted as a local talent scout, visited St. Raymond, the Bronx parochial school where Tommy attended sixth grade. Spotting Tommy, Serlin asked him if he could act. “Not at all,” the boy replied. “Not at all” was precisely what Selznick — who sought a lack of affectation conspicuously absent from child stars of the day — wanted.
________ JAKE PAGE, 80, an editor and columnist at Smithsonian magazine who brought the wonders of science to a general audience in dozens of books, and who channeled his interest in the Indians of the American Southwest into a series of popular mystery novels, died last Wednesday at his home in Lyons, Colo. The cause was vascular disease, his daughter Lindsey Truitt said. Mr. Page made it through high school and college without taking any science courses but found himself cornered when, as an editor at Doubleday in the 1960s, he was put in charge of an imprint called Natural History Books. “My job was to edit them so that any idiot could read them,” he told an interviewer for his most recent publisher, Rio Nuevo. “I was any idiot then for the next seven years.” He spread his wings at
Smithsonian, where, in an easy, elegant style leavened with humor, he contributed articles Mr. Page on topics as in 1993 varied as Zane Grey, the Hollywood makeup artist Michael Westmore, the history of aspirin and the blind anthropologist Marsha Ogilvie while writing a monthly science column, “Phenomena, Comment and Notes.”

A3 Briefly: Nation N.Y. senator slams anit-terror budget cuts NEW YORK — Sen. Charles Schumer is slamming a White House proposal that would reduce funding for counterterrorism programs across the country by nearly $300 million. The New York Democrat is pushing President Barack Obama to reconsider the cuts. Schumer notes that the Schumer cuts to the Urban Area Security Initiative were included in the proposed 2017 budget released last week by the White House. The initiative helps fund programs in cities across the U.S. to prevent extremist attacks, or respond to and recover from them. The proposed budget would cut the funding from $600 million to $330 million. “These proposed cuts are illadvised and ill-timed and they must be reversed. End of story,” Schumer said in a statement to The Associated Press. “In light of recent attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and the vow by our extremist enemies to launch more attacks on our shores, it makes no sense to propose cuts to vital terror-prevention programs like UASI.” Schumer said the program is necessary to adequately fund counterterrorism programs in high-density urban areas like New York City. “New York City remains terror target number one and the NYPD relies on these programs
to keep us safe,” he said.
Cold-hearted holiday NEW YORK — For much of the Northeast, Valentine’s Day was the coldest on record, with people bundling up for the notso-warm embrace of teeth-chattering temperatures. From New York and Boston to Providence, R.I., and Hartford, Conn., temperatures Sunday morning dipped to as low as minus-40 — on Mount Washington in New Hampshire. The National Weather Service said the temperature in New York City’s Central Park fell to minus-1, a record low for the date. The last time it was below zero in Central Park was in January 1994.
Successor coming? WASHINGTON — The White House says President Barack Obama will nominate a successor to the late Justice Antonin Scalia “in due time,” once the Senate returns from a weeklong recess. At that point, spokesman Eric Schultz said the White House expects the Senate to consider the nominee in keeping with its constitutional responsibilities. Leading Republican lawmakers and presidential candidates have insisted that Obama leave the job of naming Scalia’s successor to the next president. Obama said he intends to fulfill his constitutional duty to nominate another justice to fill the open seat on the nation’s highest court.The president took about a month to nominate Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor to fill earlier vacancies on the court. The Senate is taking the week off for the Presidents Day holiday. The Associated Press
U.S. pushing Albania to enact legal reforms BY MATTHEW LEE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TIRANA, Albania — Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday pushed Albania to enact a major package of judicial and legislative reforms, backed by U.S. money that also is intended to help the Balkan nation take in Iranian refugees from Iraq. Kerry, returning to the United States from a four-day trip to Germany, made a brief stop in Albania’s capital to urge the government and opposition parties to support the package now pending in parliament. Kerry said the reforms represent a significant step forward in Albania’s bid to join the European Union. The changes include the creation of an anti-corruption court and prosecutor’s office as well as a national investigative body similar to the FBI in the United States. The U.S. has provided $20 million in assistance to support the
reforms and $5 million more is budgeted this year. U.S. officials traveling with Kerry said that while the reforms are needed for their own sake as well as E.U. membership, they also were key to Albania’s fulfilling a commitment to relocate thousands of members of the exiled Iranian Mujahedeen-eKhalq opposition group.
Presence considered illegal Saddam Hussein had welcomed the Iranian group into Iraq in the 1980s, but Iraq’s current Shiite-led government considers their presence illegal. The group lost what had been its home for decades, Camp Ashraf north of Baghdad, and was moved to a former U.S. base in the Iraqi capital. Throughout the past 18 months, Albania has taken in about 1,000 members of the group and has committed to taking 2,000 more. Neither Kerry nor any of the
Albanian officials mentioned the relocations. After meeting Kerry, Albanian President Bujar Nishani said he had assured Kerry of “Albania’s determination against organized crime and corruption.” Prime Minister Edi Rama said he expected the reforms to be adopted next month. “I am very confident we shall do that and with the United States of America on our side there is optimism for success,” Rama said. The package is the latest effort to clean up what was once one of Europe’s most dysfunctional governments. In December, Albania’s parliament approved legislation barring people with criminal records from holding public office or most civil service jobs. The new legislation gave three months to people currently in office or in most civil service jobs who have a criminal record to resign. After that they will be dismissed.
Briefly: World Putin, Obama speak about Syria, Ukraine MOSCOW — Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama have held a telephone conversation about the Syrian war and the unresolved conflict in Ukraine. A White House statement said the conversation between the Russian and U.S. presidents occurred Saturday and Obama a Kremlin statement said it took place at Washington’s initiative, but didn’t specify when it occurred. The White House said Obama “emphasized the importance now of Russia playing a constructive role by ceasing its air campaign against moderate opposition forces in Syria.” Russia says the airstrikes it began Sept. 30 are aimed at extremist groups, but there are wide claims from the West that Russia is targeting rebels fighting the forces of Syrian President Bashar Assad, a longtime Moscow ally.
Misuse of funds? SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea channeled about 70 percent of the money it received for workers at the nowshuttered Kaesong industrial park into its weapons programs and to buy luxury goods for the impoverished nation’s tiny elite, South Korea said Sunday.

Brazil’s Zika-related abortion debate creates a backlash BY JENNY BARCHFIELD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RIO DE JANEIRO — Before her son was born, Danielle Alves didn’t know Luiz Gustavo would have microcephaly, a condition that has left the 3-year-old so disabled he can’t walk, talk or eat without help. Still, Alves said she would have gone ahead with the pregnancy even if she had known — and she thinks thousands of pregnant women caught up in Brazil’s Zika virus outbreak should be required to do the same.
Quick Read
“I know it’s very difficult to have a special needs child, but I’m absolutely against abortion,” said Alves, who lives in Vitoria da Conquista, a city in the impoverished northeastern region where Brazil’s tandem Zika and microcephaly outbreaks have been centered. Alarm in recent months over the Zika virus, which many researchers believe can cause microcephaly in the fetuses of pregnant women, has prompted calls, both inside and outside Brazil, to loosen a near-ban on abortion in the world’s most populous Catholic country.
But push for abortion rights is creating a backlash, particularly among the families of disabled children. Many have taken to social media apps like Facebook and WhatsApp, where more than half of Brazil’s 200 million people are connected, to make their case. They argue that all babies, including those with severe forms of microcephaly, have a right to be born. The Catholic Church and Pentecostal faiths, strong forces in this deeply religious country, have also been fighting back.

VETERINARIANS SAY A starving sea lion rescued two weeks ago after finding its way into a fancy San Diego restaurant is on the mend. SeaWorld vets said last Wednesday that the 8-month-old female pup has put on about four pounds, and her bloodwork is encouraging. The underweight and dehydrated sea lion was found Feb. 4 asleep in a dining booth at The Marine Room, an oceanfront restaurant in La Jolla. The pup, nicknamed Marina, has been cared for at SeaWorld’s Animal Rescue Center. The San Diego UnionTribune said experts remain cautiously optimistic about her recovery.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT plans to spend $80 million assessing whether its hottest nuclear waste can be stored in 3-mile-deep holes, a project that could provide an alternative strategy to a Nevada repository plan that was halted in 2010. The five-year borehole project was tentatively slated to start later this year on state-owned land in rural North Dakota, but it has already been met with opposition from state and local leaders who want more time to review whether the plan poses any public danger. “It should be a statewide decision,” said Jeff Zent, spokesman for North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple.
THE R-RATED “DEADPOOL” has taken the box office by storm, annihilating records with an eye-popping $135 million from its first three days in U.S. theaters, according to comScore estimates Sunday.

Analysts are predicting that the film could go on to make $150 million by the end of the holiday weekend.
POPE FRANCIS CONDEMNED the drug trade’s “dealers of death” and urged Mexicans to shun the devil’s lust for money as he led a huge open-air Mass for more than 300,000 people Sunday in Ecatepec, Mexico. “Let us get it into our heads: With the devil, there is no dialogue,” the pope said at the biggest scheduled event of his five-day visit to Mexico. Francis brought a message of encouragement on the second full day of his trip to residents of Ecatepec, a poverty-stricken Mexico City suburb of some 1.6 million people where drug violence, kidnappings and gangland-style killings, particularly of women, are a fact of life.

PA Coast Guard crew rescues two kayakers BY ARWYN RICE PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crew from Port Angeles rescued two stranded kayakers, while other Coast Guard crews in other parts of the Northwest rescued four people from other dangerous situations. At 5 p.m. Saturday, the Coast Guard was notified that two kayakers had capsized and needed assistance on the northeast side of Whidbey Island, near Hope Island. An MH-65 Dolphin helicopter from Air Station/Sector Field Office Port Angeles, rescue boats from Coast Guard Station Bellingham and a local marine fire unit responded to assist the stricken kayakers. The Port Angeles air crew
arrived on scene and located the kayakers on Hope Island. The kayakers later told the Coast Guard they had been in the water for more than an hour before making their way to shore. The Coast Guard did not identify the kayakers. The water and air temperatures were both in the mid-40s with winds up to 30 knots, the Coast Guard reported.
Additional rescues Saturday was a busy day for the Coast Guard on the Pacific Northwest. In Ilwaco, a 58-year-old man was retrieved from the water after falling from a dock. At 6:17 p.m., Coast Guard Station Cape Disappointment was called to a report of a man in the water near D
dock at the Port of Ilwaco. The report stated that the man had been in the water for approximately 20 minutes and was hanging onto a life raft, but was unable to get in. A Coast Guard crew launched a 29-foot response boat and was on scene within five minutes. The boat crew located the man, who was unconscious and wedged between a dock and the life raft in 41-degree water. The rescue crew pulled the man from the water and successfully revived him within a few minutes. The man was transferred to a waiting ambulance and taken to a nearby hospital. His name and condition were not available Sunday. Also Saturday, the Coast Guard rescued three people near Coos Bay, Ore., after their boat overturned.
PORT ANGELES — Proposed legislation that would require the federal Transportation Security Administration to provide airport screening could be helpful to the Port of Port Angeles in its attempt to find a way to resume commercial passenger air service, a port official said. Having TSA screening at William R. Fairchild International Airport would allow travelers from the North Olympic Peninsula to check bags and be screened in Port Angeles and then continue through to other destinations beyond Seattle without going through the process again, noted Jerry Ludke, airport and marina manager for the Port of Port Angeles. That would make provision of the service more attractive to air companies and to customers. The Port of Port Angeles is working to find a commercial airline to replace Kenmore Air, which abandoned service to Fairchild in November 2014. U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer cosponsored the legislation last week. It is designed to help bring commercial airline service to smaller airports like Fairchild International, he said. The legislation, the TSA Fairness Act, would require the Transportation Security Administration to provide passenger and baggage screening to any airport that lost airline service after Jan. 1, 2013. The airport also would be required to have a commitment of service from a commercial airline.
“It’s time to bring commercial flights back to William R. Fairchild International Airport,” said Kilmer, a Gig Harbor Democrat who represents the 6th Congressional District, which includes Clallam and Jefferson counties. “Restoring the service would give folks an easy way to get to Seattle and other parts of the country while boosting tourism by bringing new visitors to the Olympic Peninsula,” Kilmer said in a news release. “This legislation would help ensure our airport has the capacity to handle folks flying in and out.” The last time Fairchild offered that kind of service, Ludke said, was around the time Horizon Air ended its air service in 2003. Horizon abandoned service to Fairchild in 2003 after carrying more than 22,000 passengers to and from Port Angeles in 2002. If the Kilmer bill is successful, the general TSA screening layout is still in place in Port Angeles, Ludke said. TSA would need to install new screening equipment. According to Ludke, port officials have looked at the possibility of hiring a private firm to conduct security screening at Fairchild if TSA can’t provide it.
Bigger planes Ludke said he had been told that it is not worthwhile for TSA to provide screenings for flights with small aircraft. TSA wanted to see aircraft that hold at least 30 passengers, he said. The port had an agreement with SeaPort Airlines to start commercial service to
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on March 1, but those plans folded when the company announced in January it would give up many of its routes as the result of a pilot shortage. The company announced it was filing for Chapter 11 reorganization last week, at the same time announcing the resignation of its chief executive officer, Rob McKinney. The Cessna C-208 Grand Caravans that SeaPort had proposed using and that Kenmore had flown to Port Angeles hold 8-10 passengers. Ludke said the port is looking at a number of possible airlines that could provide service from Fairchild to SeaTac. Ben Munson of Forecast Inc., the port’s planning consultant, is talking to two airlines currently, he added. The TSA legislation was introduced Thursday by the Oregon congressional delegation — Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden and Reps. Greg Walden and Peter DeFazio. The Oregon delegation is seeking the restoration of commercial air service to the Crater Lake-Klamath Regional Airport by bringing back federal TSA screening at the airport. The Klamath Falls airport has a commitment from Alaska-based carrier PenAir to bring back commercial service with daily flights to Portland. The airport has been working to resume service since carrier SkyWest left the airport in June 2014. The TSA stopped providing screening services at the airport after SkyWest’s departure.

Critics saw the bill as a jab at climate-change research. A yes vote was to send HR 3293 to the Senate, where its prospects are uncertain. Kilmer voted no. ■ GUN-VIOLENCE RESEARCH: The House last Wednesday refused, 177-241, to designate gunviolence research as a National Science Foundation priority, so that science could potentially help reduce gun deaths as it has done for smoking and highway mortality. A yes vote was to adopt the amendment to HR 3293 (above). Kilmer voted yes.
■ T R E A S U R Y REPORT ON FEDERAL DEBT: The House on Thursday voted 267-151 to require the next Treasury secretary to provide Congress with a detailed report on the national debt. The secretary’s congressional testimony is due 21 to 60 days before the current debt limit is expected to be reached in March 2017. A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate, where it appears likely to fail. Kilmer voted no. ■ WAGES, WEALTH, INCOME INEQUALITY: Voting 171-245, the House on Thursday rejected a Democratic-sponsored amendment that sought to broaden the Treasury secretary’s required report on federal debt (HR 3442, above) to also cover wage and salary disparities, consumer spending and the effect of spending cuts on economic growth. A yes vote was to adopt the amendment. Kilmer voted yes. ■ C L I M A T E CHANGE, INTERNET TAXES: The Senate on Thursday approved 75-20 the conference report on a catch-all bill that would, in part, bar presidents from addressing climate-change in future trade talks, per-
manently prohibit state and local taxation of Internet access and combat currency manipulation by trading partners. A yes vote was to send HR 644 to the White House. Cantwell and Murray voted yes. ■ NORTH KOREA SANCTIONS: The Senate last Wednesday voted 96-0 to expand U.S. economic sanctions on businesses and countries engaged in transactions that directly or indirectly buttress the North Korean regime. A yes vote was to return HR 757 to the House, which sent it to President Barack Obama for his signature. Cantwell and Murray voted yes. ■ WEAKENING OF MENU-LABELING RULE: Voting 266-144, the House on Friday passed a bill (HR 2017) designed to weaken and delay a new Food and Drug Administration rule under which restaurant chains of 20 or more locations bearing the same name will be required, starting next year, to prominently post nutrition for standard menu items — including calorie counts — at the point of sale. A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate, where its prospects were uncertain. Kilmer voted no.

Films: Family intends to make copies of films CONTINUED FROM A1 A further search led to an obituary for L.E. Withers, who died Sept. 6, 2014. L.E.’s obituary mentioned he had been married to Barbara Frantz. And, L.E.’s obituary also listed the names of the couple’s five children: Cheryl Ronish, David Withers, Becky Pomaville, Melissa Merideth, and Ruth Raemer.
These names were telling clues. Some of the film reels included titles such as “Barb’s 35th Birthday,” “Cheryl’s 16th Birthday,” “Dave’s Football Game,” and “Nov. 71, Becky’s 6th birthday.” Barbara Frantz, it turns out, is still alive and living in Vancouver. However, the PDN did not contact her at her family’s request. The next step was to get one of the surviving family
members on the phone. The first relative to respond was Sandi Frantz of Joyce, who confirmed the films did indeed belong to her family. She referred the PDN to Raemer, who lives and works in Port Angeles, but whose name is not listed in the phone book. Raemer said the family had not realized the videos were gone until the publication of the Kitsap Sun article.
“We had no idea they were missing,” she said. “We don’t know how they became missing either.” Following L.E. Withers death in 2014, “we didn’t do an estate sale but we cleaned out my parents’ home,” she said. As such, the film reels might have been displaced during that time, she said. How did the films end up in the bushes in Bremerton? That remains a mystery,
Raemer said. “We are not quite sure what happened.” Compounding the mystery, L.E. and Barb never lived in Bremerton, Sandi added.

The many Mideast solutions IN DECEMBER AT the Brookings Saban Forum on the Middle East, Atlantic magazine reporter Jeff Goldberg asked right-wing former Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman this provocative question: “Things are shifting radiThomas L. cally not only Friedman in non-Jewish America but in Jewish America as it concerns Israel and its reputation. “My question is: (A) Do you care? (B) What are you going to do about it? And (C) how important is it to you?” “To speak frankly, I don’t care,” Lieberman responded, adding that Israel lived in a dangerous neighborhood. Give Lieberman credit for honesty. That conversation came back to me as I listened to the Democratic and Republican debates when they briefly veered into foreign policy, with candidates spouting the usual platitudes about standing with our Israeli and Sunni Arab allies. Here’s a news flash: You can retire those platitudes.
Whoever becomes the next president will have to deal with a totally different Middle East. It will be a Middle East shaped by struggle over a onestate solution, a no-state solution, a non-state solution and a roguestate solution. That is, a one-state solution in Israel, a no-state solution in Syria, Yemen and Libya, a nonstate solution offered by the Islamic caliphate and a roguestate solution offered by Iran. Start with Israel. The peace process is dead. It’s over, folks, so please stop sending the New York Times Op-Ed page editor your proposals for a twostate solution between Israelis and Palestinians. The next U.S. president will have to deal with an Israel determined to permanently occupy all the territory between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, including where 2.5 million West Bank Palestinians live. How did we get there? So many people stuck knives into the peace process it’s hard to know who delivered the mortal blow. Was it the fanatical Jewish settlers determined to keep expanding their footprint in the West Bank and able to sabotage any Israeli politician or army officer who opposed them?
Was it right-wing Jewish billionaires, like Sheldon Adelson, who used their influence to blunt any U.S. congressional criticism of Bibi Netanyahu? Or was it Netanyahu, whose lust to hold onto his seat of power is only surpassed by his lack of imagination to find a secure way to separate from the Palestinians? Bibi won: He’s now a historic figure — the founding father of the one-state solution. And Hamas is the mother. Hamas devoted all its resources to digging tunnels to attack Israelis from Gaza rather than turning Gaza into Singapore, making a laughingstock of Israeli peace advocates. And Hamas launched a rocket close enough to Tel Aviv’s airport that the U.S. banned all American flights for a day, signaling to every Israeli, dove or hawk, what could happen if they ceded the West Bank. But Hamas was not alone. The Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, sacked the only effective Palestinian prime minister ever, Salam Fayyad, who was dedicated to fighting corruption and proving that Palestinians deserved a state by focusing on building institutions, not U.N. resolutions.
Peninsula Voices ‘Looming’ calamity I am confused by the Feb. 8 letter in Peninsula Voices, “ ‘Global warming.’ ” Based on an article by a relatively obscure researcher who does not seem to be affiliated with any known institution or university, he concludes that government has manipulated data to mislead the public. However, I believe the only recent, documented case of government interference with scientific publication was when the Bush administration reportedly discouraged government scientists from using references to global warming and climate change in scientific reports. The writer then points
to NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data that shows an increase of 0.7 degrees Fahrenheit over the past 35 years as the only reliable available data. It seems to me that this alone is clear evidence for global warming. The other data he quotes, that the temperature has risen by 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit in the past 136 years, means that it took 101 years to rise the first 0.7 degrees Fahrenheit but only 35 years to rise the next 0.7 degrees Fahrenheit. So not only is global warming confirmed by his data but also that it is becoming more and more rapid over time. If it keeps on increasing
OUR
They all killed the two-state solution. Let the one-state era begin. It will involve a steady lowgrade civil war between Palestinians and Israelis and a growing Israeli isolation in Europe and on college campuses that the next U.S. president will have to navigate. Meanwhile, a no-state Syria — a Syria that Bashar Assad and his Russian and Iranian backers only partly control — will be a chest wound bleeding refugees into Europe. I am certain that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is deliberately bombing anti-regime Syrians to drive them into Europe in hopes of creating a rift in the European Union, strain its resources and make it a weaker rival to Russia and a weaker ally for America. And the non-state Sunni caliphate (ISIS) and rogue-state Shiite Iran will feed off each other. I love it when both Democratic and Republican candidates say, “When I am president, I’ll get Sunni Arabs to take the lead in fighting ISIS.” Gosh, I bet Obama never thought of that! The Sunni Arabs are never going to destroy a non-state ISIS as long as Iran behaves like a Shiite rogue state, not a normal one.
It’s true, Iran is a great civilization. It could dominate the region with the dynamism of its business class, universities, science and arts. But Iran’s ayatollahs don’t trust their soft power. They prefer instead to go rogue, to look for dignity in all the wrong places — by using Shiite proxies to dominate four Arab capitals: Beirut, Damascus, Sanaa and Baghdad. So my advice to all the candidates is: Keep talking about the fantasy Middle East. I can always use a good bedtime story to fall asleep. But get ready for the real thing. This is not your grandfather’s Israel anymore, it’s not your oil company’s Saudi Arabia anymore, it’s not your NATO’s Turkey anymore, it’s not your cabdriver’s Iran anymore and it’s not your radical-chic college professor’s Palestine anymore. It’s a wholly different beast now, slouching toward Bethlehem.

at this rate, the planet will become uninhabitable in a few hundred years. Based on the writer’s quoted data, we should actually thank President Barack Obama, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and the U.N. for trying to avert the looming catastrophe. Marcos Grimsditch, Port Angeles
Temperatures While I agree that climate change data is carefully picked, depending on the desired outcome of an analysis, there are two points that the writer of the Jan. 8 letter, “ ‘Global warming,’ ” missed. The first is that data from long-term stations is extremely important.
When temperature is rising over a long period at multiple repeatable loca-
tions, it is fair to suggest that temperature is in fact rising.
The second point is that ship intakes, data buoys and fixed shoreline stations are measuring temperature from within the water column. Satellites are measuring only the surface temperature. The temperature is quite often different within a few centimeters of the surface. Because of this, surface temperature is a very unreliable indicator, when used by itself, of change. This point was made very clear to me when I made an assumption about oceanic surface temperature as a graduate student many years ago. Howard Teas, Chimacum
Earth to Hillary: Be yourself I COME NOT to rebuke Hillary Clinton, who remains by far the most capable presidential candidate. I come bearing advice for Froma her campaign. Hillary, this Harrop is something you sorely need. ■ Understand that New Hampshire didn’t owe you anything. “New Hampshire had been good for the Clintons,” we kept hearing. Its primary saved Bill’s hide in the 1992 presidential race. In 2008, it gave you a needed boost when the sisterhood, enraged at perceived sexist attacks, rushed to your defense. But what did any of this have to do with 2016? ■ Women don’t owe you anything, either. Which side was paying Gloria
Steinem to disparage younger women who chose to vote for Bernie Sanders? She said they were chasing boys; can you imagine? And what prompted Madeleine Albright to say that women should vote to help other women as opposed to helping their country? This was an assault on female intelligence. It also mildly embarrassed women who support Clinton, not out of a desire to elect a female president but because she’s the most qualified candidate. And oh, please call off the celebrity brigade. Not everyone regards Lena Dunham as a font of wisdom. ■ Bill’s presidency was a long time ago. Bill left America in wonderful fiscal shape, and every class prospered. For we who remember the Bill Clinton years, it was a golden age. Problem is, how many of us remember? Today’s 20-year-olds were 4

when Bill left office. Furthermore, much has happened since then, which brings us to the next item. ■ The Great Recession changed everything. In 2008, the bottom dropped out of the economy. The years that followed have proven a hard slog for young people trying to gain an economic foothold. Blue-collar workers, meanwhile, continued to lose what they had. They are all angry at Washington’s tireless service to the moneyed masters, and with reason. Now, contrary to his spiel, Bernie Sanders is the candidate of Wall Street. That’s because if nominated, he would almost certainly lose to any Republican running against him. Note how right-wing media isn’t laying a finger on Sanders. On the contrary, by looping the pumped-up charges that Hillary can’t be trusted, the right is feeding the Sanders campaign.
You know this, Hillary: What you must do is brush it aside and speak directly to the hurting electorate. That means getting out of yourself. Let others talk about what you represent, your impressive resume or your massive capacity for hard work. It’s nice to tell the younger liberals flocking to Sanders that you’ll be listening to them. Better, though, to say that you’re going to take on the powers crushing their economic prospects. ■ Hillary, you are the candidate, not “the Clintons.” In other words, drop the dynasty nonsense. (How’s that going for Jeb Bush?) Chelsea should not be speaking for you. Bill is more complicated in that he’s a former president. But rein him in. Bill should not have berated alleged Sanders followers for writing nasty things about a female liberal pundit supporting you.

It came off as both paternalistic and dated. Social media has opened a cesspool of anonymous creeps working out of unclear motives. Anyone who can’t ignore that doesn’t belong in the arena. Hillary, the voter demographics in the coming primaries and caucuses are more favorable to a candidate like you. But you still must replace some of your caution with fromthe-heart fire. Open the doors and windows of the lamentably labeled “Clintonworld” and send the hangerson packing. The more you are yourself, the better you will do.

Riders win, earn spot at regionals BY LEE HORTON PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
TACOMA — The Port Angeles girls basketball team locked down a regional berth by defeating River Ridge 39-34 at Foss High School. The Roughriders will next face Franklin Pierce on Thursday back at Foss in the 2A District 2/3 tournament semifinals. Port Angeles held a 31-15 lead Saturday after holding River Ridge to five total in the second and third quarters. The Riders’ defense was especially dogged against the Hawks’ leading scorer, MaKenna Schultz, who came into the game averaging nearly 18 points per game, but was held to eight, all in the fourth quarter. “In particular, Krysten McGuffey and Gracie Long did a nice job defensively in our zone defense,” Port Angeles coach Michael Poindexter said. McGuffey, a freshman, also contributed offensively with eight points. Long, a sophomore, contributed three points and six rebounds. Hayley Baxley also had six boards and was Port Angeles’ top scorer with 10 points. Nizhoni Wheeler pulled down a team-high 12 rebounds. The Riders were outrebounded 44-39, but Poindexter liked their effort against the taller River Ridge. “While River Ridge’s many 3-point attempt misses went long, giving the Hawks quite a few offensive rebounds, I thought our team as a whole fought for position and rebounded well against the Hawks, who had an overall height advantage on us,” Poindexter said. River Ridge made only 2 of 19 shots from 3-point range.
Backcourt poise Port Angeles, playing without injured point guard Maddie Boe, only turned the ball over 12 times while forcing the Hawks into 14 turnovers. “Katyn Flores provided a solid presence at point guard, and Nizhoni Wheeler took over that spot in the fourth quarter, as River Ridge intensified their full-court pressure,” Poindexter said. The Riders, though, only made 5 of 20 free throws, and only 4 of 16 in the fourth quarter, which helped River Ridge close the gap. “River Ridge was rewarded for fouling down the stretch by our failure to make free throws, keeping them in the game till the end,” Poindexter said. If the Riders (20-3) beat Franklin Pierce (17-5) on Thursday, they will face the winner between Liberty and White River this Saturday in the district championship game. TURN

BREMERTON — Four area wrestlers won championships and many more qualified for state at regional tournaments over the weekend. Port Angeles’ Tyler Gale won the 113pound class at the boys 2A Region 1 tournament by defeating Olympic’s Alec Acfalle 8-1 Saturday. The Roughriders had two other state qualifiers in 126-pounder Ben Basden, who was second at regionals, and 138-pounder Morgan Mower, who took fourth. The top four finishers advanced to the Mat Classic this weekend at the Tacoma Dome. Blake Mann and Cody Anderson placed fifth at regionals for Port Angeles and will be alternates at the state meet. Port Townsend’s Chloe Rogers won the
140-pound class at the girls Region 2 tournament in Yelm. Redhawks coach Steve Grimm said Rogers, who took second at state in the division last year, was set to wrestle Wilson’s Flar Parker-Borreo, the state champ at 135 pounds last year, in Saturday’s final, but Parker-Borreo had to bow out due to injury or sickness.
State championship state of mind Grimm said he and Rogers were disappointed she didn’t get to tangle with Parker-Borreo and see how she wrestles. Other than that disappointment, Grimm said Rogers “had a great day.” And now she turns her attention to the Mat Classic, where she made a somewhat surprising run to last year’s finals. “She’s pretty darn focused right now,” Grimm said. “Her mind is focused and all she wants right now is that state title.” Rogers’ teammates, Ally Bradley (115 pounds) and Brenna Franklin (155) both took sixth and missed being an alternate by one spot.

Neah Bay rocks Hurricanes Red Devils win by 37, make semis BY MICHAEL CARMAN PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — Neah Bay put on a clinic on how to defeat a 2-3 zone defense in a 81-44 victory over Mount Vernon Christian in the 1B TriDistrict boys basketball tournament at Port Angeles High School. The Red Devils painstakingly worked through their offensive sets to clear space for open 3-point shooters, and attacked holes in the zone with well-timed passes for easy layups in Saturday’s game. “We had time at practice to work on the open spots within the defense,” Neah Bay coach Stan Claplanhoo said. “We were pretty prepared for them. They ran the same stuff as they did [Thursday] against Chief Kitsap, and we were able to take advantage.”
Showdown with Saints The Red Devils (16-2), who are ranked fourth in 1B by The Associated Press, advance to face the second-ranked Seattle Lutheran Saints (20-1) in the Tri-District semifinals today at 6:15 p.m. at Mount Vernon Christian High School. The winner of that game is assured of a winner-to-state regional contest the weekend of Feb. 26-27. A 13-0 run over four minutes of the first and second quarters gave Neah Bay a 28-11 lead and all the cushion it needed against Mount Vernon Christian. The Red Devils moved the ball well to start the second quarter, as Jericho McGimpsey found Anthony Bitegeko inside for a score. Bitegeko returned the favor on the next trip down, setting up McGimpsey for a bucket. “Sharing the ball, that was big,” Claplanhoo said. “Coach

Late rally not enough for Red Devils Neah Bay girls struggle to score, fall to Hurricanes in Tri-District tourney BY LEE HORTON PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — Olivia Kuipers’ parting gift was a 3-pointer with five minutes remaining in Mount Vernon Christian’s 45-29 victory over Neah Bay in the first round of the 1B Tri-District girls basketball tournament at Port Angeles High School. Kuipers, a freshman, fouled out 32 seconds later, but her trey gave the Hurricanes a 10-point lead and quelled a rally by Neah
Bay that had suddenly become serious. “They were really pushing us, and that was a big shot,” Mount Vernon Christian coach Jeff Droog said. Only a few minutes earlier, it was hard to imagine that the Hurricanes were going to need any kind of fourth-quarter heroics. The Red Devils trailed 22-6 at halftime. They finally got some offense going after halftime, but despite scoring the final six points of the third quar-
Girls Basketball ter, their deficit had grown to 18 points, 34-16, going into the fourth. “We didn’t run our offense like we should have,” Neah Bay coach Tony McCaulley said. “We couldn’t hit anything. We couldn’t even make a layup. “I don’t know. I’ve never seen us play offensively that bad for three quarters.” The Red Devils finally found some offensive rhythm in the fourth. Twelve seconds in, Holly Greene nailed a 3-pointer. Vonte
Aguirre followed with consecutive layups off passes from Gina McCaulley and Greene. Greene made another 3, and then Aguirre was fouled after pulling down an offensive rebound, and made one of two free throws. Less than three minutes into the period, the Red Devils had cut Mount Vernon Christian’s lead to 34-27. They were on an 11-0 run to start the fourth, and a 17-0 run overall. “When we were making our comeback, we ran our offense and were getting some layups,” McCaulley said. Then came Kuipers’ 3-pointer. TURN

Taylor rallies to win Pebble Beach for 1st win in a decade BY DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Vaughn Taylor is headed home to the Masters with his first PGA Tour victory in more than a decade, and he can’t believe it. Neither can Phil Mickelson. Taylor, who hasn’t had a full PGA Tour card for the last the three years, ran off four straight birdies on the back nine to close with a 7-under 65 and won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Sunday when Mickelson missed a 5-foot putt on the final hole. “It’s been a long time. I didn’t think it was going to happen,”
PGA Taylor said. “I worked so hard. I kept getting knocked down, knocked down. I’m just at a loss for words.” A week of spectacular weather on the Monterey Peninsula ended with a stunning conclusion for both players. Taylor is No. 447 in the world and won his first PGA Tour event against the top players. His previous two victories were the Reno-Tahoe Open (2004 and 2005), which is held opposite a World Golf Championship. He
just returned from South America and a pair of Web.com Tour events. And then there was Mickelson, going for his 43rd career PGA Tour victory and his record-tying fifth at Pebble Beach, staked to a two-shot lead with no one near his pedigree within five shots of the lead. Mickelson, however, struggled from the start and could not keep making enough par putts to hold off Taylor. Lefty still managed a rally of his own. Trailing by two shots with two holes to play, Lefty made a 12-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th and was in perfect position
for a birdie on the closing hole at Pebble Beach. His hybrid landed in front of the green, 60 feet short of the pin. His pitch came up 5 feet short, and the birdie putt to force a playoff hit the left edge of the cup and spun out. Mickelson bent over with his hand on his knee. “It never crossed my mind that one on 18 wouldn’t go in,” he said. Mickelson closed with a 72, extending the longest victory drought of his professional career dating to the 2013 British Open. Taylor is a longtime resident of Augusta, Ga., and the perks of this surprise victory starts with a
spot in the Masters for the first time since 2008. The 39-year-old Taylor also gets a two-year exemption, meaningful for a guy who lost his card after 2012. Jonas Blixt, the first player to catch Mickelson, made bogey on the par-5 14th to fall back and closed with four pars for a 69 to finish third. Hiroshi Iwata of Japan, who played with Mickelson in the final group, was one shot behind until he missed the 16th green to the right and made bogey He closed with a 72 to tie for fourth with Freddie Jacobson (71).
Neah: Doherty and Moss hot from outside CONTINUED FROM B1 Kenrick Doherty Jr. stepped up to hit 12 of his 26 points in the third quarter, including three 3s, as the Red Devils managed to build their lead despite hot-shooting from Mount Vernon Christian (4 of 7 on 3s), and led 65-41 heading to the final period. Doherty and Moss each hit six 3-pointers in the game. “It was nice to see Ryan and Kenrick get their shots going,” Claplanhoo said. “I was really impressed with the patience we showed within the offense, setting things up and running the sets.
“It’s that time of year, possession basketball.” Doherty’s deep shots canceled out three third-quarter treys from Mount Vernon Christian’s leading scorer, Bryson Smith. Smith scored 11 in the third and 15 on the game for the Hurricanes. Doherty, facilitating for much of the game due to foul trouble to Rwehabura Munyagi Jr., said Neah Bay has improved its ability to share the ball as the season has progressed. “We play open gym in the community gym almost every night, and it’s an adjustment,” Doherty said.
“That style is more one dribble and shoot. “We started the season with more of a one-on-one game, and as the season goes on we’ve gotten better and better at distributing the ball. “Sometimes it gets better and better even during a game.” Up big, Doherty added some style points with two superb passes in the fourth quarter. First, he led Munyagi with an half-court-length bounce pass for a layup. Then he found Bitegeko with a behind-the-head pass from near the baseline for another easy basket inside.
“That’s more of the open-gym stuff,” Doherty said. “I usually don’t do that stuff in the heat of the moment because a turnover could be the difference in a close game. “Rweha had a perfect lane, so the bounce pass was there. “The other play, I saw [Bitegeko] behind me and fed him.” Seattle Lutheran advanced to the semifinals by routing defending 1B champion Lummi 68-44 on Saturday. The winner of today’s game is off until the Tri-District championship game, against either Shorewood Christian or Ever-
green Lutheran, on Saturday. Today’s loser plays a loser-out game Thursday against Orcas Christian or Tulalip Heritage.

Preps: Aguirre nets 11 points Poeltl scores 25 CONTINUED FROM B1 Aguirre scored again and was fouled by Kuipers, her fifth foul, to make it 37-29 with 4:28 remaining, but those ended up being Neah Bay’s final points of the contest. Aguirre’s basket also was the game’s last made field goal. The Hurricanes didn’t score again until they went 8 of 8 from the line in the final minute. Neah Bay and Mount Vernon Christian both struggled to put the ball in the hoop throughout Saturday’s game, the teams’ fourth Tri-District meeting in four years. The Red Devils made 11 of 60 field goals (18 percent), including 4 of 35 from 3-point range, and 3 of 7 field goals. The 29 points scored is their lowest output of the season. Mount Vernon Christian was 12 for 49 from the field (24 percent) and 6 for 33 from downtown. The Hurricanes did make 15 of 23 at the line, which, as 65 percent, was as close to automatic as there was in Saturday’s game. “I think it starts on the defensive end,” Droog said of the Hurricanes’ performance.
points and 13 rebounds. “I thought Vonte Aguirre played her butt off,” McCaulley said. “She had to battle with some big gals in there and really rebounded well. I thought she played really, really good.” Holly Greene added nine points, and Tristin Johnson had eight points and six rebounds. Kuipers scored 12 points for Mount Vernon Christian, and senior Grace Kuipers led all scorers with 15 points. The Hurricanes (15-9) move on to the semifinals where they will face Evergreen Lutheran (15-1). The eighth-ranked Red Devils (12-5) will now chase the Tri-District’s third or fourth regional berth.

Elliott becomes youngest on Daytona 500 pole BY DAN GELSTON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Chase Elliott was too young to really remember celebrating in victory lane with his father, dressed in a shirt that matched Bill Elliott’s firesuit and a little finger pointed toward the sky because daddy was No. 1. But here’s a father-son snapshot Chase can savor forever: “Awesome Bill” waiting with a big embrace
Sunday at Daytona International Speedway for the son who proved he’s capable of following in some Hall of Fame footsteps. Elliott kept the No. 24 Chevrolet on the pole for the second straight Daytona 500, and the rookie became the youngest driver to land the top spot in NASCAR’s biggest race. “I don’t know if this opportunity has sunk in yet, much less sitting on the pole for the Daytona 500,”
Elliott said. The 20-year-old has the ride of a lifetime, taking the seat from retired four-time champion Jeff Gordon at Hendrick Motorsports. Gordon was in the broadcast booth at Daytona, calling the shots as the No. 24 went around the track without him for the first time since 1992. Elliott has some practice following the great ones: His father, Bill, is a twotime Daytona 500 champion.
“The manner which [he] went about his business, I think is really special,” Chase said. Without showing the pressure on the track that comes with the ride, Elliott’s top speed was 196.314 mph as he outran 43 others in front-row qualifying Sunday. He also showed that Hendrick cars could be contenders again after taking a backseat to Joe Gibbs Racing and Team Penske in 2015.
as Utah blows out Washington State BY KAREEM COPELAND THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALT LAKE CITY — Jakob Poeltl has been one of the most efficient players in the country this week, and Washington State had the best seat in Salt Lake City to watch the Utah center work on Sunday. Poeltl scored 25 as Utah faced little resistance in an 88-47 victory over Washington State. The Utes (19-7, 8-5) remain in striking distance for the Pac-12 regular-season title with the win. “It’s been something that we work on probably on a daily basis, the post feeds,” Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said. “You can have the best post guy on the planet, but if you don’t have somebody to throw him the ball . . . so, our guys have taken a lot of pride in their ability to do that. “And Jakob’s obviously taken a lot of pride in his ability to slow down and finish “It’s pretty obvious that’s where we’d like to start our offense.” The Cougars (9-16, 1-12) were never competitive after the first five minutes. The Utes went on a 17-3 run that included 14 from Poeltl to take a 21-9 lead. Another 17-5 stretch, highlighted by a pair of 3-pointers from Jordan Loveridge, pushed the lead to 40-21 at halftime. Things didn’t get better for the Cougars after the half, and they never found an answer for Poeltl. The 7-footer added seven more points during a 13-0 run that gave Utah a 55-24 lead. Poeltl put an exclamation mark on the spurt with a break-away, one-handed
tomahawk dunk. Poeltl shot 11 for 14 from the field and had 10 rebounds in just 25 minutes. He’s now 22 for 26 from the field in the last two games — both Utah wins. Loveridge finished with 14 and Brekkott Chapman scored a season-high 12. “We always have confidence when we throw it to Jakob,” Loveridge said. “He’s such a great player inside. It’s always nice when he does his work and seal guys, it just makes your passes a lot easier when he gets angles and things like that.” Que Johnson scored a Washington State-high 13 points as the Cougars shot a season-low 30.6 percent from the field. “With games like this, you don’t look at tape,” Washington State coach Ernie Kent said. “You just move it aside. I know we’re a better basketball team than what we showed tonight. “But, mentally, we had nothing. We were just drained.”
Tip-ins Washington State: The Cougars entered the game ranked No. 189 in the RPI. ■ The last time Washington State won at Utah was Dec. 14, 1946. ■ The Cougars have lost 11 consecutive games, including eight by double figures. ■ Josh Hawkinson entered the game averaging a team-high 16.0 points and 11.1 rebounds. He finished with four points and eight rebounds. Utah: The Utes scored 24 points in the paint in a first half that Washington State scored 21 total.
