Foreign investors sidelined Brinnon resort’s path to visa denied By Paul Gottlieb

Peninsula Daily News

BRINNON — The federal government has denied an application from The Statesman Group that the developer says is vital to its plans for a $300 million marina-golf resort at Black Point.

Citing the “importance of support,” the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services earlier this month rejected the company’s application to take part in a temporary visa program, hindering Statesman’s effort to attract foreign investors who could gain permanent visas after two years

by putting $500,000 into the project, company President Garth Mann said Friday. Mann said Statesman has resubmitted the application. Statesman wants the agency to classify the proposed 252-acre Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf

Resort south of Brinnon as a “designated regional center” under the federal EB-5 program. A regional center is “any economic unit, public or private, which is involved with the promotion of economic growth, improved regional productivity, job creation and increased domestic capital investment,” Citizen and Immigration Services spokeswoman Sharon Rummery said.

Under the EB-5 program, 230 foreign residents would each invest $500,000 in the marinagolf resort project.

Investments Each investment would have to directly or indirectly create 10 jobs in Washington, The Statesmen Group says. Turn

Making Christmas bright Holiday tradition lights up Jefferson for another week Peninsula Daily News

Sandy VanWagenen’s decorations blaze on the side of U.S. Highway 101 in Quilcene.

Bright lights aren’t always in big cities. Sometimes, they are in small rural hamlets, such as those dotting south Jefferson County. And in those spots blazing with holiday cheer, Christmas isn’t quite over yet. Most of the lights and decorations will stay up through this week, said Anne Ricker of Quilcene, an artist who has volunteered to organize the North Hood Canal Chamber of Commerce Holiday Decorating Contest for about 18 years. That job gives her a chance to tour the sights. So, for those with a yen to tour the south county lights, she

offers a few suggestions to hit the highlights. After driving to Brinnon, start the tour at the Lower Lazy C Ranch. The display at the home of Cindy and Greg Woodgate at 300 Appaloosa Drive tied for first place in the chamber contest with that of Brett and Ashley Hoffman, 294955 U.S. Highway 101 in Quilcene. Both won $100. After taking in the Lazy C decorations, hang a right on Highway 101 and do a loop by Whitney Gardens.

Suicides in national parks preventable, CDC says Most victims are male; consistent with national trend Peninsula Daily News news services

ATLANTA — Suicides in the U.S. national park system are a serious but preventable issue, researchers say. In a recent seven-year span, 84 national parks reported 194 suicides and 92 attempted suicides, an average of 41 events a year, according to the research. Guns and plunges from a cliff or bridge were the most frequently used methods. The findings appear in the current issue of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, pub-

Park rangers have limited training to deal with suicidal visitors, according to the researchers, and, thus, a limited ability to talk someone out of killing themselves. Park officials need to collaborate with community suicide prevention programs to increase access to resources, guidance and training. More training n Parks also need to construct They can also be expensive. barriers or restrict access to sites In one case, the report found, that may be used for suicide the search for a missing suicide attempts. victim cost almost $200,000.

Even though the number of suicides in national parks is small compared with the overall suicide toll in the country, each case represents a tragic and preventable death that deeply affects families and friends — plus suicides in public places like national parks can be traumatic to both park staff and witnesses, the authors pointed out.

Bud Greenspan, 84, a filmmaker whose riveting tales soared as triumphantly as the men and women he chronicled for more than six decades, died Saturday at his home in New York City of complications from Parkinson’s disease, companion Nancy Beffa said. “Bud was a storyteller first and foremost. He never lost his sense of wonder and he never Mr. wavered in Greenspan the stories in 1980 he wanted to tell, nor how he told them,” she said through a family friend. “No schmalzy music, no fog machines, none of that. He wanted to show why athletes endured what they did and how they accomplished what so few people ever do.” As a 21-year-old radio reporter, Mr. Greenspan filed his first Olympic story from a phone booth at Wembley Stadium at the 1948 London Games. He cut a distinct figure at nearly every Summer and Winter Games afterward, his eyeglasses familiarly perched atop a bald dome, even in a swirling blizzard. His most recent work, about the 2010 Vancouver Winter games — which Mr. Greenspan attended — will be ready for release in the coming weeks. Yet, even as controversies over politics, performance-enhancing drugs and commercialism increasingly vied for attention on the planet’s grandest sporting stage, he remained uncompromising about his focus on the most inspirational stories. “I spend my time on about the 99 percent of what’s good about the Olympics and most people spend 100 percent of their time on the 1 percent that’s negative. “I’ve been criticized for seeing things through rosecolored glasses, but the percentages are with me,” he said in an interview with ESPN.com nearly a decade ago.

Carlos Andres Perez, 88, former Venezuelan president whose popularity soared with his country’s oil-based economy but who later faced riots, a severe economic downturn and impeachment in his homeland, has died in Miami, his family said Saturday.

Suddenly he had difficulty breathing,” she told The Associated Press by telephone. She said her father was rushed by the family to the hospital, where he died Saturday afternoon. Venezuelan TV channel Globovision had quoted the daughter initially in reporting Mr. Perez had suffered a heart attack but she denied that to AP, citing “respiratory failure.” In the final years of his life, Mr. Perez came to personify the old guard Venezuelan political establishment bitterly opposed by current President Hugo Chavez. Mr. Perez survived two coup attempts in 1992, the first led by Chavez, who was then a young army lieutenant colonel. In recent years, Mr. Perez lived in Miami while the Venezuelan government demanded he be turned over to stand trial for his role in quelling bloody 1989 riots. Mr. Perez — who governed Venezuela from 1974-79 and again from 1989-93 — denied wrongdoing.

Salvador Jorge Blanco, 84, former Dominican president, who was convicted of corruption under a political antagonist’s administration but later declared innocent by an appeals court, died Sunday. His son, Orlando Jorge Mera, said the former president died peacefully at his home in Santo Domingo. Mr. Blanco had been in a coma since suffering a cerebral hematoma when he fell out of bed on the morning of Nov. 20. He had been diagnosed with hydrocephalus, in which liquid builds up around the brain and spinal cord. President Leonel Fernandez announced three days of national mourning, with flags across the Caribbean country lowered to half-staff. President from 1982 to 1986, Mr. Blanco was sentenced along with three other men to 20 years in prison in 1991 for misspending government funds meant for military purchases. He was the first former Dominican head of state to be convicted of corruption and served two months in prison before he was released to continue his appeal. The conviction was overturned in 2001 by an appeals court that ruled Mr. Blanco and the three other men were never provided the right to defend themselves during the 1991 trial. Mr. Blanco maintained his innocence and said he was the victim of political persecution during the presidency of Joaquin Balaguer, who held office for 10 years after Mr. Blanco’s term.

Brauhm’s admission clears the mystery surrounding Baumgartner’s death and ended a threeday search by Clallam County and city officers. City Policeman James Safreed did an able piece of detective work when he used the muddy imprint of an automobile tire on a Sunday newspaper found at Baumgartner’s house as a clue. Safreed matched the imprint with the tires on Brauhm’s car and got the admission when questioning Brauhm.

Obama revisits stormy end-of-life health care Regulation strategy revives plan tied to ‘death panel’ fear By Robert Pear

The New York Times

WASHINGTON — When a proposal to encourage end-of-life planning touched off a political storm over “death panels,” Democrats dropped it from legislation to overhaul the health care system. But the Obama administration will achieve the same goal by regulation, starting Jan. 1. Under the new policy, outlined in a Medicare regulation, the government will pay doctors who advise patients on options for endof-life care, which may include advance directives to forgo aggressive life-sustaining treatment. Congressional supporters of the new policy, though pleased, have kept quiet. They fear provoking another furor like the one in 2009 when Republicans seized on the idea of end-of-life counseling to argue that the Democrats’ bill would allow the government to cut off

care for the critically ill. While the new law does not mention advance care planning, the Obama administration has been able to achieve its policy goal through the regulation-writing process, a strategy that could become more prevalent in the next two years as the president deals with a strengthened Republican opposition in Congress. The administration said research had shown the value of end-of-life planning.

Opponents speak out Opponents said the Obama administration was bringing back a procedure that could be used to justify the premature withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment from people with severe illnesses and disabilities. Elizabeth D. Wickham, executive director of LifeTree, which describes itself as “a pro-life Christian educational ministry,” said she was concerned that end-of-life counseling would encourage

patients to forgo or curtail care, thus hastening death. “The infamous Section 1233 is still alive and kicking,” Wickham said. “Patients will lose the ability to control treatments at the end of life.”

Wellness benefit Several Democratic members of Congress, led by Rep. Earl Blumenauer of Oregon and Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV of West Virginia, had urged the administration to cover end-of-life planning as a service offered under the Medicare wellness benefit. A national organization of hospice care providers made the same recommendation. Blumenauer, the author of the original end-of-life proposal, praised the rule as “a step in the right direction.” A recent poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation suggests that the idea of death panels persists. In the September poll, 30 percent of Americans 65 and older said the new health care law allowed a government panel to make decisions about end-of-life care for people on Medicare. The law has no such provision.

Briefly: World Poor villagers fear hunger after bombing KHAR, Pakistan — Some 300,000 desperately poor villagers impoverished by fighting in Pakistan’s tribal belt are scrambling to feed themselves after a female suicide bomber killed 45 people outside a World Food Program food distribution center, triggering a districtwide suspension of the relief project. WFP district coordinator Shahab Khan said Sunday that all four food relief centers run by the United Nations agency in the Bajur district had been shut indefinitely since Saturday’s bombing in the area’s main town of Khar. The WFP project in Bajur feeds 41,000 families — or 300,000 people — who returned to the district from camps for the displaced elsewhere in the country, even though their livelihoods having been ruined by fighting between Pakistan troops and insurgents.

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — Dozens of armed men attacked Victory Baptist Church, dragging the pastor out of his home and shooting him to death Christmas weekend.

The assailants only left after setting the church and pastor’s house ablaze. Danjuma Akawu, the church’s secretary, managed to escape after he and others climbed over the church’s fence. “I cannot understand these attacks,” Akawu said. “Why Americans die in crash Christians? . . .

Storm stymies holiday travel The Associated Press

NEW YORK — A winter storm made travel torturous in the Northeast on Sunday, dropping a thick layer of snow that stranded thousands of airline, train and bus passengers and made motorists think twice about hitting after-Christmas sales. More than a foot of snow was expected in some areas, including New York and Boston, where an aquarium had to protect — of all things — penguin ice sculptures from the elements. A dumping of up to 20 inches had been forecast for Philadelphia, where the Eagles-Vikings NFL game was postponed because of the storm, but by early evening meteorologists said the city would end up getting no more than a foot. More than 1,400 flights had been canceled out of the New York City area’s three major airports

alone, and more cancellations were expected today. For many people, the storm’s timing was perfect: the day after Christmas, a Sunday, no school for at least a week. Colleen and Graham James of Montclair, N.J., represented the other side of the coin. They were at Newark Airport with their two young children and their dachshund, trying to reach family in Iowa, but their connecting flight to Chicago was delayed more than 2½ hours.

‘Crazy snow’ Graham James was resigning himself to postponing their trip a month. “Now we’re worried about just driving home because of the crazy snow,” he said. Airlines canceled flights throughout the Northeast and at airports in Washington, D.C., Bal-

timore, Chicago and the Carolinas. They expected more cancellations today, but were trying to rebook passengers and hoped to resume normal operations Tuesday. Amtrak canceled train service from New York to Maine on Sunday evening, after doing the same earlier for several trains in Virginia. Bus companies canceled routes up and down the East Coast, affecting thousands of travelers. The Northeast received the brunt of the storm. Forecasters issued blizzard warnings for New York City, Rhode Island and most of eastern Massachusetts. The monster storm is the result of a low pressure system off the North Carolina coast and strengthened as it moved northeast, according to the National Weather Service.

Last week’s top film, “Tron: Legacy,” fell more than 54 percent to $20.1 million.

Bolivia’s government is abruptly raising gasoline prices by 73 percent, ending a six-year span in which they were frozen. Drivers are now paying about $3.48 a gallon for regular gasoline. Vice President Alvaro Garcia said the measure fights gasoline smuggling to neighboring countries. Garcia said the state was paying $380 million a year to subsidize gasoline imports and much of it was being shipped abroad by smugglers. Protesting bus drivers said they will start an indefinite strike at midnight, and teachers said they will start street demonstrations.

Icy rain on Sunday shut down Moscow’s largest airport for nearly 15 hours, coated roads with ice and left more than 300,000 people and 14 hospitals without electricity in winter. The rain struck the city Saturday night. Workers are scrambling to restore the power supply after heavy ice snapped power lines. Moscow motorists woke up to find their cars covered with an inch of ice. Power lines across the region, loaded down with ice, snapped at the slightest touch, disrupting public transport and suburban trains.

Denied: Concerns raised about logging impact Continued from A1 In return, the investors — after undergoing extensive background checks — would receive two-year visas for themselves or for family members, including children who could attend schools in the United States, Mann said. After two years, the investors could qualify for “green cards,” or permanent resident status. The three Jefferson County commissioners have unanimously approved a land-use designation of master-planned resort for the Black Point area.

U.S. Rep. Norm Dicks’ spokesman, George Behan, said Friday that two members of the congressman’s staff recently started reviewing the project. “We haven’t gotten to the point where we’ve fully vetted it,” Behan said. “We’re not in a position where Norm has taken a stand either way. We’re looking into the job potential and the environmental issues involved.” Dicks represents the 6th Congressional District, which includes the North Olympic Peninsula. People for Puget Sound has raised concerns about

the impact of logging necessary to build the resort-golf course, while Mann has said no clear-cutting will take place and that the project will include a tree farm.

Concerns about project Mann also said that withdrawal from the aquifer will be minimized and geothermal heating and cooling systems will be installed. This is at least the third time Citizenship and Immigration Services has rejected Statesman’s EB-5 application, Mann said. The latest reviewer “missed the intent of the

planned resort, including the extent of the investment and the creation of 2,300 direct and indirect jobs,” he said. “They thought the total amount of investment we were looking for was $300,000, but the investment is $300 million,” Mann said. “Whether they misread it, I don’t know, but it blew us out of the water.” Pleasant Harbor would add 280 jobs to the Brinnon community, a rural area afflicted with unemployment that’s significantly higher than the statewide average of 9.2 percent, Mann said.

The EB-5 application must explain how the center will achieve economic growth and include a business model with market conditions, project costs and activity timelines. It must also show “in verifiable detail” how jobs will be created and “the amount and source of capital committed to the project,” Rummery said. Financing for the project is essentially nonexistent in the United States, Mann said. “Unfortunately, money is extremely difficult to come by these days, and the EB-5 program circumvents the

usual process and procedure for financing,” Mann said. Statesman is based in Canada. The project and application are being coordinated out of Statesman’s Phoenix, Ariz., office, Mann said. Rummery said late Friday she did not know if the agency’s written notification rejecting the EB-5 application was public, and Mann said Friday he did not have a copy available.

More than 10% of children have trouble sleeping, and rates are especially high in children who have recently traveled or been hospitalized, or who have epilepsy, depression, ADHD, or autism. Sleep may improve with a consistent bedtime routine; avoidance of caffeine; soothing music or calming book; proper sleep environment; behavioral therapy; or by addressing fears and stressors. For kids taking drugs such as methylphenidate for ADHD, check to see if medications can be taken earlier in the day or if the child can be switched to a medicine with a shorter duration of action. When these strategies are not sufficient, melatonin may be helpful, starting with a low dose about 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime on an empty stomach. There is some evidence to suggest that sleep-onset insomnia in children with ADHD is due to a delay in melatonin secretion, and melatonin levels are lower in children with autism. The most common side effects include daytime drowsiness, headache, and dizziness.

Master Gardener training to be given Applications to be taken until Jan. 21 Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — Applications for the Washington State University Clallam County Extension Master Gardener Training program are being accepted until Jan. 21. Training will be held in Port Angeles on Tuesdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Feb. 15 through April 12. Online instruction is required.

Training topics Trainees learn to identify plant materials, diagnose plant problems, identify insects and insect damage, detect plant diseases and determine correct cultural practices. That enables them to provide recommendations for treatment and management of horticultural prob-

lems and information on safe and effective gardening and landscaping practices. Classes are taught by specialists in botany, soil science, entomology, pest management and plant diseases. The cost of the class is $200, which includes all materials.

Partial scholarships Some partial scholarships are available. The Master Gardener program provides public education in gardening and environmental stewardship through research from WSU and other university systems. Volunteers are trained by WSU faculty and staff to be community educators. Following the training, Master Gardeners are required to pass their knowledge on to the citizens of the county. Opportunities include

teaching, garden design and experimental horticulture. “Master Gardeners are a wonderful group of dedicated volunteers who come from all walks of life. Most are retired, and everyone likes to have fun and meet new people,” Nesbitt said.

Clallam County has three demonstration gardens that educate gardeners about plant matters and gardening techniques. Master Gardeners plant and maintain the gardens. Master Gardeners also develop and give talks and demonstrations on a variety of gardening topics, hold weekly plant clinics from March through October and present a program on plants

Help is at hand “They have qualified counselors who have been accredited and have a thorough knowledge of how to deal with anybody who wants to undertake the process of weaning away from the nicotine habit,” Stutz said. That includes spouses and girlfriends, Stutz said. The hospital is working with Submarine Group 9 leadership and submarine commanding officers so the crews have ample resources to kick the habit, Stutz said. Each crew has an independent duty corpsman who oversees the program on the sub and is responsible for the gum and patches. “We’ve put the word out to all of our boats. We expect when Jan. 1 rolls around, the submarine force will be absolutely smoke-free,” he said.

BANGOR — The USS Michigan got a jump on a dozen other Kitsap-based submarines, and its sailors are breathing easier because of it. The Blue Crew of SSGN727 went smokeless in July, but by midnight on Friday, the rest of the Navy’s subs must follow suit. There are about 3,500 submariners based at Naval Base Kitsap. If 31 percent of sailors smoke, as a 2008 Department of Defense survey contends, then nearly 1,100 local submariners will have to either quit or subdue the urge to smoke while on patrol. On April 8, the Navy said it would ban smoking cigarettes below decks on submarines to protect sailors from secondhand smoke. The move was in response to a 2009 study by the Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory that showed the ill effects on nonsmokers. The Michigan was the first boat from Naval Base Kitsap, and possibly in the Navy, to kick the habit, said Submarine Group 9 spokesman Lt. Ed Early. As of Oct. 22, 21 of the Navy’s 71 submarines had gone completely smoke-free, Early said. Efforts to get an updated number from Submarine Force in Norfolk, Va., last week proved unsuccessful. Submariners can still use smokeless tobacco, though the Navy highly discourages it. Ten percent of them do,

according to the department survey. They can take cigarettes onto the boat and smoke them pier side or while on liberty. If they get caught sneaking a puff on board, the commanding officer will determine the proper response. “The goal is to educate smokers about the effect on smokers, and if they want to quit, to help them quit,” Early said. Sailors have had seven months to quit, and a lot of help. The Navy provided smoking-cessation classes, counseling, and nicotine patches and gum at Naval Hospital Bremerton, its Bangor health clinic and a substance-abuse rehabilitation center at Bangor, said hospital spokesman Doug Stutz.

Fed plan mysterious; analysis elusive ‘QE2’ creates controversy over effects on inflation Bernanke was after in the first place, although he’s unlikely to say so publicly. What Bernanke was trying to do, in part, with quantitative easing was to attack the threat of deflation — a decline in prices across the economy.

Peninsula Daily News news services

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve’s bold but mysterious plan to purchase $600 billion in long-term government bonds through June will be under the microscope in 2011 even if it works, in part because determining its success is anything but simple. The bond-buying plan is an unparalleled effort to spark the economy. It is called quantitative easing. It is intended to lower long-term lending rates. It is controversial because critics worry it might lead to inflation that’s hard to quell. Ironically, the controversy about inflation itself may have been much of what Fed Chairman Ben

Going up or down? By sparking inflation fears, investor expectations shifted from worry that prices would fall into a downward spiral, a specter that can drive investors and consumers to postpone spending as they await lower prices, and thus depress economic growth. Instead, inflation is now seen as the bigger threat, though it has yet to appear. The distinction is important because inflation, or a rise of prices across the

economy, can happen only in an environment of economic growth. Thus a good bit of what the Fed tried to do with its second round of quantitative easing, now dubbed QE2, amounted to psychological warfare on investors and their expectations. “QE2 is preventing the downside,” said John Silvia, the chief economist for Wells Fargo Securities in Charlotte, N.C. “I think that as I read the commentary, and the presentations by Chairman Bernanke, I kind of get the impression that we’re buying insurance against deflation. “When you look at the process, the challenge you see is that a lot of financial institutions, and some consumers, have cash and are not putting it to work.” Through QE2, the Fed is trying to push investors into taking risks again. Many risk-averse investors have sought the safety of U.S. government bonds,

so Bernanke is trying to make that less attractive by pushing up the prices of alternative assets, such as stocks. By purchasing longerterm bonds, the Fed helps lower the interest rate the bonds pay, which makes stocks and corporate bonds more attractive. The Fed’s hope is that increased investment in stocks and corporate debt will generate a psychological boost that spills over into the broader economy, increasing spending and confidence. Mainstream economists think that QE2 might add half a percentage point of growth to the U.S. economy in 2011.

Stock market up The Fed may have achieved much of that goal with its Nov. 3 announcement of QE2. The stock market went on a tear, and stocks are on course to finish 2010 with

strong gains. Market projections for 2011 are even more upbeat. Don’t expect the Fed to run any victory laps, however. It has to maintain a poker face while it purchases about $75 billion a month in bonds.

Hard to explain “Fundamental to QE2 is that it’s hard to communicate that what you really do want is inflation. You do want assets to go up in price — that’s why they have had a hard time explaining what they’re doing,” said Vincent Reinhart, a former top economist at the Fed and now a researcher at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. In early December, there was talk that QE2 wasn’t working because the socalled long bond, the 30-year government bond, was paying higher interest rates to investors — the opposite of QE2’s stated aim.

Many mortgage rates are pegged to the long bond, so mortgage rates were rising. All of this raised a question: Has QE2 really worked? “I think to some extent it has,” said Donald Kohn, until recently the Fed’s vice chairman. The Fed will get blame for failure, but not necessarily credit for success, since Obama’s tax-cut deal includes stimulus measures that politicians will take credit for if they work, including a payroll-tax holiday and business-investment incentives. “I think in the end that will make it difficult to interpret,” Reinhart said. “If the more-upbeat forecasts are right . . . fiscal policy will get the credit.” However if the economy remains sluggish, the Fed could find itself on the defensive for a policy that didn’t deliver.

This means that for the first six months of fiscal 2011, discretionary programs, which account for about one-third of federal spending, will be funded at essentially their fiscal 2010 levels. In one notable policy change, the bill implements the president’s order to freeze federal workers’ salaries.

The limits must be met within seven years. The treaty also restores on-site inspections that lapsed when the 1991 START Treaty expired in December 2009. The new treaty places no limits on U.S. missile defenses or non-nuclear weaponry. A yes vote was to ratify the treaty. Cantwell and Murray voted yes. ■ TEMPORARY 2011 BUDGET: Voting 79 for and 16 against, the Senate on Tuesday sent the House a bill (HR 3082, above) to temporarily fund the federal government until March 4, at which time the new 112th Congress will take up another temporary, catchall spending bill. These stopgap measures, which affect the one-third of the budget that is discretionary spending, are needed because the 111th Congress failed to enact any of the 12 regular appropriations bills. A yes vote was to pass the bill. Cantwell and Murray voted yes.

Commentary

Page

A young mayor shows the way President Obama understood, rightly, that our economy needed more stimulus, so, given the GOP’s Thomas insistence on Friedman extending the Bush tax cuts for all, he struck the best deal he could. The country, we are told, is now in a better mood, seeing our two parties work together. I, alas, am not in a better mood. I’ll be in a better mood when I see our two parties cooperating to do something hard. Borrowing billions more from China to give ourselves more tax cuts does not qualify. Make no mistake, President Obama has enacted an enormous amount in two years. It’s impressive. But the really hard stuff lies ahead — taking things away. We are leaving an era where to be a mayor, governor, senator or president was, on balance, to give things away to people. And we are entering an era where to be a leader will mean, on balance, to take things away

from people. It is the only way we’ll get our fiscal house in order before the market, brutally, does it for us. In my book, the leaders who will deserve praise in this new era are those who develop a hybrid politics that persuades a majority of voters to cut where we must so we can invest where we must. To survive in the 21st century, America can no longer afford a politics of irresponsible profligacy. But to thrive in the 21st century — to invest in education, infrastructure and innovation — America cannot afford a politics of mindless austerity either. The politicians we need are what I’d call “pay-as-you-go progressives” — those who combine fiscal prudence with growth initiatives to make their cities, their states or our country great again. Everyone knows the first rule of holes: When you’re in one, stop digging. But people often forget the second rule of holes: You can only grow your way out. You can’t borrow your way out. One of the best of this new breed of leaders is Atlanta’s inspiring mayor, 41-year-old Kasim Reed. A former Georgia state senator, Reed won Atlanta’s mayoral race in December 2009 by 714 votes.

The day he took office, Atlanta had $7.4 million in reserves, an out-of-control budget and was laying off so many firefighters there were only three personnel on a truck, below national standards. A year later, it has $58 million in reserves, and Reed has a 70 percent approval rating — which he earned the hard way. Reed started his reforms by enlisting two professionals, not cronies, to help run the city — Peter Aman, a partner at Bain & Co., a consultancy, to be his chief operating officer; and John Mellott, a former publisher of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, to lead a pension review panel. Atlanta has 7,000 city employees, but today, says Reed, “you can’t hire a receptionist” without it “personally being approved by Aman.” Then Reed tackled the city’s biggest problem: runaway pensions, which were eating up 20 percent of tax revenues — and are rising. In the early 2000s, the police, fire and municipal workers’ unions persuaded the city to raise all their pensions — and make it retroactive. So, between 2001 and 2009, Atlanta’s unfunded pension obligations grew from $321 million to $1.484 billion. Yikes.

Peninsula Voices Obama ‘realistic’

Political truism

President Barack Obama seems to be the only sane politician in Washington, D.C., at this time. His fellow Democrats in Congress are under the delusion that the electorate are behind them, but in reality, U.S. voters were asked the question in November: “Do you want your Congress to maintain a Democratic majority?” The overwhelming response, in unison with John Boehner, was “Hell no, we don’t.” In the face of such opposition, President Obama has taken the only realistic stance — to compromise and accept Republican demands. Republicans have remained successful because they are proud to be the party “by and for” the wealthy. The U.S. voters have spoken and prefer this type of government. Rich Lamkin, Sequim

As I read the well-written Dec. 19 Peninsula Voices letter, “U.S. Influenced,” a truism slapped me in the face: We live side-by-side among people with diametrically opposed viewpoints. Although it’s easy to assume that all Americans basically think alike, have the same values, pursue the same goals and look at events the same, it’s not true. I thank the letter writer for reminding us that beliefs held most dear by one person are most hated by another. Assuming that it all boils down to two world views, we duke it out in every election — in which losers accuse winners of cheating. While the winning side claims universal victory for untold future decades, the losing side vows resurgence and triumph. Sadly, while each side is

Reed couldn’t cut existing pensions without lawsuits, but he cut back pensions for all new employees to pre-2000 levels and raised the vesting period to 15 years from 10. When union picketers swarmed city hall to protest, Reed invited them all into his office — in shifts — where he patiently explained, with charts, that without pension reform everyone’s pensions would go bust. By getting the city’s budget under control, Reed then had some money to invest in more police officers and, what he wanted most, to reopen the 16 recreation centers and swimming pools in the city’s most disadvantaged neighborhoods, which had been shuttered for lack of money. “People were shooting dice in the empty pools,” he said. Local businesses have now offered to finance after-school jobskills programs in the reopened centers. Cut here. Invest there . . . Reed combines a soft touch with a hard head. I like how he talks about both Atlanta and America: “We are not going to be what we have been for the last 50 years if we don’t change, and everybody in a position to have more than two people listening to them

needs to be saying that, because the time we have to make the adjustments is running out. “We need to get on with it. “Whether it’s the deficit, education or investing in young people or immigration — we are not tackling [them] in the fundamental ways required. “We’re just doing it piecemeal. 'We’re just playing and surviving. And we need to be very clear where just surviving takes you: it takes you to a lifestyle of just survival.” In a recent address, Reed elaborated: “The bottom line is that for the country to do and to be what we have been . . . there must be a generation tough enough to stick out its chin and take the hit. “ . . . It is time to begin having the types of mature and honest conversations necessary to deal effectively with the new economic realities we are facing as a nation. “We simply cannot keep kicking the can down the road.” Thomas L.

hell-bent on destroying the other, both refuse to recognize any value in the opposition. Between elections, fearless people speak their mind, voice their opinions. Similar to religious apologetics, political apologies are most often fruitless, ending in broken relationships, hurt feelings and

boiling anger. It’s been said that we have a bloodless revolution every election cycle. Sadly, I’ve seen this philosophical pendulum swing between the two extremes, resulting in perhaps thousands of new people marching into Washington, D.C., to assume power — operating the

myriad agencies, commissions, departments, Legislature, administration. Obviously, neither philosophy is viable (or else voters would keep that group in perpetual power). Unfortunately, even the middle ground is not viable. It makes you think that perhaps, just perhaps, there is no solution to the

The Port Townsend School District levy has been mentioned in the local news for a while now, but just to recap, here are the basics: The vote decides whether or not property owners will pay a tax that goes to the school district. I know people don’t like taxes, but our school district needs the money. There will be a $5 billion cut to the Washington State budget, and a lot of it will hit the state educational system. If the levy passes, it won’t fix all of the schools’ problems, but it will prevent even more from arising. So please, consider this letter when you vote. Sam Smith, Port Townsend

Let’s celebrate a slow-growing population THE ANALYSES OF the new census numbers were predictable, and I take issue with nearly every one. Let’s start with the suggestion that population rising at the Froma lowest rate since the Great Harrop Depression is to be lamented. Anything likened to the Great Depression can’t be a positive development, right? Wrong. But this is how USA Today put it: “The U.S. population grew 9.7 percent in the past decade to 308,745,538, according to the first results of the 2010 Census — the slowest growth since the Great Depression for a nation hard hit by a recession and housing bust.” Nearly 10 percent population growth is slow only in relation to that of Burundi, the African country with the world’s lowest per

capita gross domestic product. Our population growth rate is comparable to Mexico’s, Brazil’s and Indonesia’s. For Americans concerned with a loss of open space and thickening congestion, a 10 percent growth rate should seem darn high. If unemployment were 2 percent and houses were selling like Justin Bieber tickets, a sharp hike in population would still be nothing to cheer. By the way, Nevada had the nation’s fastest population growth and now the highest unemployment and the worst housing collapse. As it happens, America had half as many people in 1950. Was America less lovely then? It was certainly more powerful. Tied to the notion that a population boom equals success is the oft-repeated headline that the census report produced “winners” and “losers.” CBS News’ Political Hotsheet wrote: “The biggest winner out of the

government’s decennial population count? It is without a doubt the state of Texas, which will see its House delegation and Electoral College representation increase by four seats.” Well, greater political clout is something any state would welcome, and there’s lots of room in Texas. But anyone who drives on Dallas’ North Central Expressway at 4 p.m. on a workday knows the meaning of “crowded.” The Lone Star State’s big growth has been in the urban corridors, where there’s no shortage of company. Those who declare New York state a “loser” in the census count, meanwhile, may not have visited Rockefeller Center in recent weeks. Yes, the Empire State will have two fewer congressional seats than before, but ask New Yorkers this: How many of you would prefer competing with several million more souls for space to losing some Electoral College votes?

One must note that New York and other “losers” — Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Massachusetts — have actually gained population in the past decade. They just added fewer people than states in the South and West. [Washington state grew to 6,724,540 — an increase of 14.1 percent since the 2000 census — and will gain an additional seat in the U.S. House beginning with the 2012 elections.] The less nuanced commentary treated population gains in socalled Red States and losses in socalled Blue States as an unalloyed blessing for the Republican Party. A GOP advantage, for sure, but limited. Delivery room doctors in Texas or Arizona don’t stamp “Republican” on the cute bottoms of newborns, and the babies are ever likelier to be Latino and part of a group that traditionally votes for Democrats. Until recently, Texas Republicans have been able to corral Latinos into bizarrely

shaped districts. But their creativity will be taxed as the state’s Hispanics overtake Anglos in number. Of course, it’s nonsense to imply that any state is permanently dyed red or blue. Changing populations change the politics. And changing parties change the politics even where populations are stable. The people’s republic of Vermont used to be the most reliably Republican state. I don’t know many Americans, or noncitizen immigrants for that matter, who think that 100 million more people would make the United States a better place.

Down but not quite out Hawks can still claim West with win vs. Rams

By Barry Wilner

By Fred Goodall

The Associated Press

AFC teams seeking a Super Bowl berth must go through Foxborough, a place where Tom Brady hasn’t lost in the regular season since 2006. Here’s some hope for the challengers, though: The New England Patriots lost their only playoff game last season, routed at home by Baltimore. Among the teams chasing the Patriots are the AFC West champion Kansas City Chiefs. The Patriots secured home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs by blasting the Buffalo Bills 34-3 on Sunday. Brady hasn’t lost a home game in the last 27 regular-season outings, and the Patriots (13-2) are unbeaten in 16 consecutive regular-season games at Gillette Stadium since losing to Pittsburgh on Nov. 30, 2008 with Matt Cassel replacing the injured Brady. “We got a W, and that’s our biggest present, being able to come into the locker room and being able to see that hat and T-shirt,” nose tackle Vince Wilfork said. “That’s something to be proud of.”

Ravens in chase Baltimore (11-4) still could win the AFC North — it’s tied with Pittsburgh, which already has a playoff berth, but does not own the tiebreaker with the Steelers in the division. The Ravens won at Cleveland 20-10, and must beat Cincinnati at home while Pittsburgh loses at Cleveland next Sunday. “It doesn’t matter [what Cleveland does],” Ravens star linebacker Ray Lewis said. “The only thing you can ask for in this business is to get in the dance. We’re in and we have to take care of business against Cincinnati.” Failing to win the division means Baltimore gets a wild card, something the New York Jets already own. Although the Jets (10-5) were beaten 38-34 at Chicago, they qualified when Jacksonville lost to Washington 20-17 in overtime. Just like last season, when the Jets went to the AFC title game, they will finish second to the Patriots in the AFC East. “This was a bit odd,” said Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson, who saw the Redskins win on TV. “We went from being down, a blown opportunity to ‘we’re in.’ “I ran in [the locker room] and I was like, ‘We’re in.’ Everybody was looking at me, then all of a sudden everybody starts to smile and talk, the mood just kind of lightens up.” Kansas City earned its first AFC West championship since 2003 when it beat Tennessee 34-14 and San Diego lost 34-20 at Cincinnati. The Chargers had won the last four division crowns. Turn

Playoffs/B3

Seattle quarterback Charlie Whitehurst fires a secondquarter pass while being pressured by Tampa Bay safety Corey Lynch (41) during Sunday’s game.

TAMPA, Fla. — The surprising Tampa Bay Buccaneers aren’t wilting under the pressure of the NFL playoff race. Josh Freeman kept the NFL’s youngest team in contention for one of two NFC wild-card berths with a near flawless performance that propelled the Bucs to a 38-15 rout of the struggling Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Seattle (6-9) played most of the game without injured quarterback Matt Hasselbeck and lost for the seventh time in nine games. Amazingly, the Seahawks can still win the NFC West — thus becoming the first team in NFL history to earn a playoff spot with a losing record — by beating the first-place St. Louis Rams (7-8) at home next Sunday. “I don’t know if we all understand it, but it’s ridiculous the opportunity we still have. It’s huge,” said Hasselbeck, who left with a hip injury after helping the Seahawks to a 7-0 lead. “We should be saying ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you,’ because it’s amazing. “There’s teams that are having pretty good seasons and they are out of the playoffs and don’t get a chance. “For us to still have that opportunity, as poorly as we’ve played at times, as poorly as we performed tonight, is a huge opportunity.”

With St. Louis (7-8) defeating San Francisco 25-17 to take sole Next Game possession of first place Sunday in the NFC vs. Rams West earlier at Qwest Field Sunday, the Time: 1 p.m. S e a h a w k s On TV: Ch. 13 took the field knowing that a win or a loss against the Bucs would not affect their chances of making the playoffs. “They know what’s at stake,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “After you look at tonight, you’re going to wonder how that’s going to happen, but we’re going to find a way. “I’m concerned with what that looked like tonight, yeah. I’m concerned about that. “That didn’t look like the kind of play that would have warranted this situation and this opportunity. We need to leave this here in Tampa, get home and put a week together and do something different.” The Seahawks lost Hasselbeck when the 35-year-old quarterback rolled out of the pocket to his right and scored on a 1-yard TD run in which he went into the end zone untouched with 2:50 remaining in the opening quarter.

Punishing storm sacks Eagles game Winter weather causing havoc By Fred Lief

The Associated Press

A fierce winter storm hit Sunday’s Vikings-Eagles game like a blitzing linebacker, forcing a postponement in Philadelphia that displeased Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, and disrupted travel plans elsewhere in sports. But, overwhelmingly, the games went on. The New York Jets were forced to spend the night in Chicago, where they could mull their 38-34 loss to the Bears. The New England Patriots routed the Bills 34-3 in Buffalo, but victory came at a cost. They were unable to travel home immediately afterward. The New York Giants said there was a strong possibility they would have to stay in Wisconsin following their game with the Green Bay Packers.

In cold and windy Cleveland, a jacket worn by Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed caught fire when he ventured too close to a sideline heater. Temperature at kickoff was 26 degrees with the wind chill at 13. Reed had two interceptions in Baltimore’s playoff-clinching victory.

Laughing about it He had a good laugh afterward, saying someone yelled that he was on fire. The safety did the sensible thing with his jacket. “I just took it off,” he said. The NFL shifted the VikingsEagles game from Sunday night to Tuesday night because of the storm that could dump more than a foot of snow on Philadelphia. The game — the first in the NFL on a Tuesday since 1946 — The Associated Press will be played at 5 p.m. and teleCleveland fans try to keep warm during an NFL game vised nationally by NBC. Turn

Another

snow out

Work crews remove barriers as snow falls on Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team, on Sunday in Philadelphia. The Eagles’ game scheduled for Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings was postponed until Tuesday due to wintry weather. This is the second time the Vikings have been part of a snow out. A Vikings game was postponed a couple of weeks ago when the roof of the Metrodome caved in because of heavy snow.

Hawks: Bucs run and pass right by Seattle Continued from B1 The 12th-year pro bent over for a moment, started to walk off the field and then stopped again before sitting down in the end zone. He will have a MRI today, and Carroll said it’s unlikely Hasselbeck will practice this week. Hasselbeck eventually limped to the sideline under his own power. Charlie Whitehurst replaced him on Seattle’s next possession, with the Seahawks leading 7-3. Hasselbeck said he’s experienced minor discomfort at times since being hit in the hip by a helmet against San Diego early in the season. “Today, it just got real tight on me real fast,” Hasselbeck said. “That was disappointing.” Whitehurst had little success against a Tampa Bay defense that had not played particularly well the past month. Hasselbeck’s backup went 11-of-18 for 66 yards and was sacked three times. The Seahawks scored on Leon Washington’s 16-yard run and a 2-point conversion in the fourth quarter, but finished with just 174 yards of total offense. Tampa is one of those teams that might not make the playoffs despite having a winning record. Youthful quarterback Freeman, though, is giving the Bucs hope. “He’s clutch. He’s a closer. He’s a big-time quarterback, and he’s developed into it right in front of our eyes,” coach Raheem Morris said of the second-year pro — the third quarterback selected in the 2009 draft behind Matthew Stafford and Mark Sanchez. “We get a chance to see

The Associated Press

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Kellen Winslow (82) dives over Seattle Seahawks cornerback Walter Thurmond (28) to score a third-quarter touchdown Sunday in Tampa, Fla. it,” Morris added, “and it’s beautiful to watch.” The 22-year-old Freeman threw for 237 yards and a career-best five touchdowns, ensuring Tampa Bay (9-6) will head to New Orleans for next week’s regular season finale with a chance to earn its first postseason spot since 2008 with a win and some outside help. Kellen Winslow and rookie Mike Williams each had a pair of TD receptions for the Bucs, who guaranteed themselves a winning

record after going 3-13 a year ago in their first season under Morris. The Bucs remain in the hunt with the Saints, Giants and Packers for a wild-card berth that seemed like an unrealistic goal when Morris declared during training camp that this season was a “Race For 10” victories. “I know you guys thought I was crazy when I said it,” Morris said. “It’s just one of those things. You set a goal for your team, and you talk about what you want to do and what you can do.

“And we’re very capable of going out and winning 10 games, and I knew that and we thought that way.” LeGarrette Blount had his fourth 100-yard game rushing, finishing with 164 yards that included highlight-reel bursts of 48 yards in which the 250-pound rookie hurdled would-be tackler Lawyer Milloy and a 53-yarder that set up Tampa Bay’s last touchdown. Freeman completed 21-of-26 passes with no interceptions.

His five TD passes — giving him 23 vs. just six interceptions this season — tied a franchise record set by Steve DeBerg in 1987 and matched by Brad Johnson in 2002. “Records, while you’re playing and while you’re in the heat of chasing, trying to get into the playoffs, it’s not that big of a deal,” Freeman said. “I just hope I can come out and have another solid performance next week.” Winslow caught TD passes of 10 and 21 yards,

the latter capping a 10-play, 98-yard drive that matched another team record. Williams scored on catches of 7 and 20 yards, giving him a club rookierecord 10 touchdowns. Freeman left the game after tossing his final TD pass, a 2-yarder to Maurice Stovall midway through the fourth quarter. Notes: The Seahawks have given up at least 33 points in their past seven losses. Winslow had seven receptions for 98 yards.

Storm: Hits East Coast Notre Dame president Continued from B1 Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter declared a snow emergency in the afternoon and urged all Philadelphians to “please be careful. Please be safe.” “We’re OK with it,” Eagles coach Andy Reid said. “We’re organized and prepared for this, and we completely support what the league did from a safety standpoint for everybody.” Added quarterback Michael Vick: “Just a few more days to get ready!” Pennsylvania’s governor, however, didn’t agree with the decision — “not at all.” “This is football; football’s played in bad weather,” Rendell told KYW-TV. “I think the fans would have gotten there, the subways work and the major arteries are still open and other fans would have stayed home. “But you play football regardless of the weather.” The governor, who does football commentaries after Eagles games, was asked what Vince Lombardi would say about the postponement. “He’d be mocking us,” he said. The Northeast caught the brunt of the storm. Forecasters issued a blizzard warning for New York City for Sunday and today. A blizzard warning was also in effect for Rhode Island and most of eastern Massachusetts including

“This is football; football’s played in bad weather. I think the fans would have gotten there, the subways work and the major arteries are still open and other fans would have stayed home. But you play football regardless of the weather.”

Boston, with forecasters predicting 15 to 20 inches of snow. While the rest of the NFL went on as scheduled apart from the game in Philadelphia, there was still some grumbling. The Jaguars played in uncharacteristic cold in Jacksonville, losing 20-17 in overtime against Washington.

Coldest home game It was about 38 degrees during play, the coldest home game in team history. “When the wind picked up, it was rough,” Jaguars cornerback Rashean Mathis said. “A lot of us have played in colder. We knew coming in, before Saturday, that this game was going to be cold.” Redskins quarterback Rex Grossman used to play in Chicago and knows of biting weather. “It wasn’t ideal by any means, but it was average,” he said. “Cold’s cold, I don’t know if you get used to it or not.” The San Diego Chargers

ended up playing their coldest game in nearly three years, buffeted by wind and snow in Cincinnati. It was 29 degrees with a wind chill of 17 at the kickoff. Several Chargers came out in blue shorts and sleeveless shirts for pregame warm-ups. The Patriots, seeking shelter from the storm, were forced to bus to Rochester, about an hour east of Orchard Park, N.Y. There were no hotel rooms available in the Buffalo area because of the World Junior Hockey Championship tournament in the city. In the American Hockey League, Sunday night’s game in Massachusetts between the Portland Pirates and the Worcester Sharks was postponed until Tuesday night. Also to be rescheduled is tonight’s Springfield-Manchester game in New Hampshire. In the NBA Development League, Springfield’s game at Maine on Sunday night was postponed.

Criticizing college Tom and Mary Seeberg of Northbrook, Ill., have criticized Notre Dame’s handling of their daughter’s death, telling the Chicago Tribune the school’s investigation was superficial. “We spent a lot of time hoping they would live their values in this case,” Tom Seeberg told ABC News. “Live their values of

sharing what they could about the investigation and live their values by trying to give Lizzy a voice in the University of Notre Dame disciplinary process.” Dvorak said the case broke down because of inconsistencies in the statements of various people involved in the case. “Conflicts exist among the witnesses’ accounts of the events given to the police,” Dvorak said. “Subpoenaed cell phone records are inconsistent with parts of the complaint itself.” Jenkins said the player and a friend still may face student disciplinary action on accusations of sending Seeberg a text message that said, “Messing with notre dame football is a bad idea.”

The Buccaneers (9-6) are alive for a wild card, but need to win next Sunday at New Orleans and get lots of help. Philadelphia (10-4) clinched the NFC East with the New York Giants’ 45-17 loss at Green Bay. The Eagles’ night game against Minnesota was moved to Tuesday night because of blizzard conditions in Philadelphia. Green Bay and the Giants both are 9-6, but the Packers hold the tiebreaker for a wild card thanks to their win over New York. The Bucs need to have a better overall record than those teams to get in.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame’s president says the university acted with integrity in its handling of sexual misconduct allegations against a football player by a St. Mary’s College student who later committed suicide. Campus police conducted a “thorough and judicious investigation that followed the facts where they led,” the Rev. John I. Jenkins told the South Bend Tribune for a story Sunday. “I cannot stand by and allow the integrity of Notre Dame to be challenged so publicly,” Jenkins said. “The values at issue go to the very heart of who and what we are at Notre Dame.” St. Joseph County Prosecutor Michael Dvorak said

Dec. 16 that his office won’t pursue criminal charges in the case. Nineteen-year-old Elizabeth Seeberg died of a suspected drug overdose Sept. 10. Dvorak said Seeberg accused a student-athlete of touching her breasts on Aug. 31. He didn’t reveal the name of the athlete.

Pats secure home-field advantage The Associated Press

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The New England Patriots clinched the top seed in the AFC playoffs Sunday thanks to Tom Brady’s three touchdown passes in a 34-3 rout over a familiar pushover, the Buffalo Bills. The Patriots (13-2) rolled to their seventh straight victory in winning the AFC East division and beating the Bills (4-11) for the 15th game in a row dating to 2003. Two of Brady’s TD passes went to rookie tight end Rob Gronkowski. Brady finished 15-of-27 for 140 yards and set the NFL record for most attempts (319) without an interception. He topped the mark set by Bernie Kosar in the 1990-91 season.

New England quarterback Tom Brady attempts a pass against Buffalo during the second half Sunday in Orchard Park, N.Y. Brady set an NFL record for pass attempts without an interception on the play.

Packers 45, Giants 17 GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers threw for 404 yards and four touchdowns in his return from a concussion to lead Green Bay. The loss leaves the Giants (9-6) clinging to fading playoff hopes and wondering if there was a hangover effect from the previous week’s collapse against Philadelphia. New York’s turnover issues continued, as the Giants lost two fumbles and Eli Manning threw four interceptions. John Kuhn ran for two touchdowns and caught a pass for a score for the Packers (9-6), who need to beat the Bears in the next weekend to make the playoffs. Rodgers sat out last Sunday’s loss at New England with his second concussion of the season.

Bears 38, Jets 34 CHICAGO — Jay Cutler threw three touchdown passes, Matt Forte ran for 113 yards and Chicago closed in on a first-round bye. The Jets (10-5) lost for third time in four games, but clinched their second straight postseason trip under coach Rex Ryan when Jacksonville lost 20-17 in overtime to Washington. The win was the seventh in eight games for the Bears (11-4), who blew an early 10-point lead and regrouped in the second half after being picked apart by Mark

Colts 31, Raiders 26 OAKLAND, Calif. — Peyton Manning threw three touchdown passes and iced the game with a 27-yard keeper in a game that turned out to have little playoff meaning. The Colts (9-6) allowed Jacoby Ford to return the opening kick for a TD, overcame a pair of interceptions by Manning in the second half and survived four field goals from Sebastian Janikowski, including two from more than 50 yards, to move within a win of clinching the AFC South title for their ninth straight playoff berth. But when Jacksonville lost earlier, the Colts knew that no matter what happened in this game they could clinch the division

around and sells them for thousands more.” Special elimination vehicles will be clearly marked with two prices. The first price is the retail price. This is the price that you would expect to see if you went used car shopping at local car dealers. The second price is the drastically reduced elimination price. This is the price that the vehicle will be sold for. This type of pricing will make it quick and easy to find the car you want at a price you can afford. The selection of cars, trucks, minivans, sport utility vehicles and motorcycles will be huge.

Truckloads of cars, trucks, minivans, sport utility vehicles and motorcycles from around the Northwest have been assembled on the property of Koenig Chevrolet Subaru, 3501 E. Highway 101 (across from Walmart), in Port Angeles for this special 5-day event with over 150 vehicles to choose from. During this sale, financing assistance will not be a problem. Local banks, finance companies and credit groups have agreed to help buyers finance these vehicles regardless of past credit history.

Buyers will find best-selling models from Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac. Popular import models from Subaru, Mercedes, Kia, Hyundai, Honda, Toyota and Nissan, as well as scooters and motorcycles by Honda, Vespa, Piaggio, Moto Guzzi and Harley Davidson will also be available. There will be approximately 20 vehicles priced below $8,995 to choose from.

According to the Event Finance Director, because all of the vehicles will be sold below the Kelley Blue Book value, little to no down payment will be necessary to obtain preferred financing. Even buyers with less than perfect credit will be able to obtain on-the-spot credit approval. This is a great opportunity to get a fantastic price and get the best financing terms available.

If you or anyone that you know is in the market for a great car, truck, minivan, sport utility vehicle, scooter or motorcycle, then you need to make plans to attend this special sale this week.

The Event Coordinator for this event said, “We will help the banks and finance companies by selling these vehicles. Banks would prefer selling to the general public at a great price rather than taking them to private auctions where the dealer buys them and turns

Fat mouth gets brother blackballed

Tundra

DEAR ABBY: After having been out of the U.S. for many years, I noticed upon returning that people here seem to be much fatter. I went to a family gathering, and virtually every formerly slim member of my family had also gotten bigger. I quietly mentioned it to one of my sisters, and word got around that I had “no manners.” My other sister, “Niki,” who has a degree in psychology, told me in no uncertain terms that people never talk about such things with each other. I explained to her that mentioning it once, or discussing the ballooning of America, can be appropriate. I believe our country has fattened up because of a lazy attitude toward exercise and calories. Niki vehemently opposes my discussing it. I learned later that she neglected to invite me to her son’s wedding for fear I would say something about you-know-what to her in-laws. I admit, I don’t have a silver tongue — but I’m disappointed my favorite psychologist has blackballed me and cut off communication. It’s sad to lose a sister this way. Please advise, Abby. Brother Black Sheep

For Better or For Worse

Pickles

Frank & Ernest

Dear Brother Black Sheep: Why do I think there’s more to this story than you have written? Obesity has become an epidemic in this country, and the reasons for it are more complicated than a lazy attitude. You don’t need a “silver tongue” to apologize to your sisters for having offended them. Perhaps your “favorite psychologist” would have invited you to her son’s wedding if you had been willing to apologize. People who have weight issues know they are fat. They don’t need to debate it. And they don’t need you to remind them or imply they are lazy.

Dear Abby: I’m a 45-year-old male reader. I have been friends with “Oscar” for 20 years. He asked me to be the godparent

Momma

dear abby of his new baby girl. Van Buren As you can imagine, I was overwhelmed when he asked. I have never been a godparent. We discussed it at length, and I told him I needed to think it over to be sure of my decision. After a few days, I was still indecisive. Part of me wanted to do it and part of me didn’t. I told Oscar it was an honor, but that I felt unsure and not fully committed. I knew if I were to accept and then reconsider, it wouldn’t be cool. So I bowed out to give him time to find someone else. Oscar’s reaction told me he was deeply angry and hurt. That night I hardly slept. I kept thinking how much I had disappointed my friend, his wife and their entire family. I feel terribly guilty. It’s clear that Oscar was expecting me to say yes. Is it wrong to say no when someone asks you to be a godparent? True Friend in Wisconsin

Abigail

Dear True Friend: No, it’s not wrong if the person who is asked does not feel able to fulfill the obligations that go with that honor. Your friend may feel less hurt if you explain to him your reasons for not accepting and the fact that you wouldn’t want to agree if you couldn’t do everything that would be expected of you. Saying no sometimes requires tact, but I’ll give you credit for being honest about your feelings.

The Last Word in Astrology By Eugenia Last

Rose is Rose

Elderberries

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Being realistic and setting reasonable goals will take the edge off the stress you are feeling. Anger will only lead to frustration. Patience will be your savior. 3 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get together with peers, friends or neighbors. The information you discover will help you make a decision regarding travel, a move or what additional skills you need to get ahead. One of your colleagues may be jealous of you. 4 stars

22-Dec. 21): Watch how you handle people. A change of plans may not suit you but arguing won’t help. Unexpected events will develop that will influence the way you feel and will affect your emotional well-being. Keep your thoughts to yourself. 2 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Conversations will be revealing. Do something nice for someone you love. A work-related project needs to be finished before the end of the year. Make changes that give you more time or space to maneuver. 3 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Refuse to let the past or your responsibilities stop you from enjoying friends, family or an activity or event you want to attend. Expect someone to throw a wrench in your plans. Be prepared to make last-minute adjustments. 3 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Discipline will be required. Giving in to someone trying to bully you won’t help your emotional wellbeing. Do what suits you best. Take a quick look at personal papers that need to be signed or put in the mail before the year comes to a close. 5 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sticking around home will leave you open to disgruntled individuals who just want to complain. You can have a far better time if you shop, go to the spa or gym or get involved in a challenging activity. 3 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Just because someone expects you to make changes doesn’t mean you have to do so. Consider every angle of a situation you face and do what’s best for you and the ones you love. Take care of a problem caused by someone from your past. 5 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Being at home may make you feel safe but it isn’t going to protect you from an emotional issue. Focus on the bright side of life, not the dark. If you are fun to be with, it will be difficult for anyone to become angry with you. 2 stars

Dennis the Menace

Doonesbury

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Appreciation, good will and helping others will change the way you think and do things in the new year. Looking at your past will help you see what needs to be done in the future. Take caution in conversation and while traveling. 4 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take a serious look at your financial situation and structure a new, attainable budget for the new year. Talk over your plans with someone who will be affected by your decisions. Discipline and hard work will pay off. 3 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Follow your heart. You may have to walk away if someone doesn’t like your plans for the future. There is money to be made but a move may be required. Hard decisions will be emotionally draining, but necessary. 3 stars
