Price said he is aiming at opening the new dealership, with a larger service center and showroom, in mid-summer. The Ford dealership has been located at 1522 E. Front St. since 1970. The 16,000-squarefoot facility sits on 2.62 acres, which Price leases. The new dealership will be 26,000 square feet in size. Price, who bought the dealership formerly known as Port Angeles Ford Lincoln Mercury Price in 2006, said he is making the move because he has no more room to expand. “It’s going to be harder to grow the business on the property it sits on,” he said. “We need the room.” Price said he thinks a larger dealership will do fine as the economy recovers from recession and added that the new location will make it more visible to traffic. The market, he said with confidence, will be there.

PORT TOWNSEND — Swain’s Outdoor, which has offered sporting goods, housewares and clothing in downtown Port Townsend since 1996, will close its doors. “I’ve had customers crying at my checkstand today,” said store manager Grant Cable on Saturday after a liquidation sale began. “They’re really upset that there’s not going to be a store anymore.” The action has no effect on Swain’s General Store in Port Angeles, which is under different ownership despite the similar name. Cable said the decision to close the store at 1121 Water St., Port Townsend, was made on Friday “after a company that was going to buy us out decided against it.” “We have exhausted all the possibilities,” he said Saturday.

Port Angeles-Sequim-West End

Medical marijuana site in its second month By Tom Callis

Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — The storefront is, by any standard, obscure. No neon signs, or any sign for that matter, mark its location, and two streetside windows peer into an office that would make a minimalist grin with approval. For the three men who run Olympian Canna LLC — the North Olympic Peninsula’s first established medical marijuana disStore/A4 pensary — a little discretion goes a long way.

“I’m walking a thin line,” CEO Richard Pharr acknowledged. The 31-year-old Port Angeles resident opened the dispensary at 303 Tumwater Truck Route with his two employees, Kiah Roberts and Rob Johnson, on Dec. 1.

Relief for ailments Their goal is simple, they say: make marijuana easily accessible for those in need of relief from their ailments. “There’s no reason those people have to suffer,” Pharr said. Typically, the drug is used to ease physical pain or increase appetite. One customer even found it helped reduce “fullbody convulsions” that kept her from get-

RYNE DUREN, 81, the star relief pitcher for two Yankee World Series teams who stared down batters through thick-lensed eyeglasses and then delivered fastballs that might go just about anywhere, died Thursday at his home in Lake Wales, Fla. His death was announced by his stepson Mark Jackson, The Associated Press said. Mr. Duren Pitching in 1958 for the Yankees from 1958 to 1961, the right-handed Mr. Duren would sometimes deliver at least one warm-up pitch high against the screen, presumably to intimidate the batter soon to face him. Mr. Duren led the American League in saves with 20 in 1958 and was named an All-Star three times. He pitched for the Yankees in the 1958 World Series against the Milwaukee Braves, striking out 14 batters in nine and a third innings, and in the 1960 Series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He struck out 630 batters in just over 589 innings during his 10-season career. But he also walked 392 batters as he bounced among seven teams, his career and his marriage ruined by alcoholism.

came about by accident. He relieved the Yankees’ Bob Turley one day, and, as he once told the Los Angeles Times: “I was feeling pretty good, so I decided to really let the first warm-up pitch go. When I planted my foot, my knee hit me in the chin, and the ball just took off.”

VANG PAO, 81, a charismatic Laotian general who commanded a secret army of his mountain people in a long, losing campaign against Communist insurgents, then achieved almost kinglike status as their leader-in-exile in the United States, died Thursday in Clovis, Calif. Vang Pao was a general in the official Laotian

Army, the chief of a secret army financed by the Central Intelligence Agency and the undisputed leader of the varied factions of his people, the Hmong. Tens of thousands of them followed him in his flight to Thailand after the Communist victory in 1975. Later, in the United States, he was so revered that some of his people believed he had supernatural powers. “He is like the earth and the sky,” Houa Thao, a Hmong refugee, said in an interview with The Fresno Bee in 2007.

Briefly: World Police find 14 headless bodies among 15 dead ACAPULCO, Mexico — Police found the bodies of 15 slain men, 14 of them headless, on a street outside a shopping center in the Pacific coast resort of Acapulco on Saturday. The victims, all of whom appeared to be in their 20s, were discovered in an area not frequented by tourists. Handwritten signs left with the bodies were signed by “El Chapo’s People” — a reference to the Sinaloa cartel headed by drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman — said Fernando Monreal Leyva, director of investigative police for Guerrero state, where Acapulco is located. The narco-messages indicated the Sinaloa cartel killed them for trying to intrude on the gang’s turf and extort residents. Mexico’s drug cartels have increasingly taken to beheading their victims in a grisly show of force, but Saturday’s discovery was the largest single group of decapitation victims found in recent years.

Ex-president visits ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo made an unannounced visit to Ivory Coast late Saturday in an effort to help resolve the country’s deepening political crisis after several other West African leaders have failed to persuade the incumbent to cede power. An Associated Press reporter

saw Obasanjo arrive at a luxury Abidjan hotel surrounded by bodyguards, but he declined to comment further on his plans. The top U.N. envoy in Ivory Coast, Choi Young-jin, said Obasanjo was there to “discuss the post-electoral crisis.” The international community has said that Alassane Ouattara won the country’s election, but the incumbent president, Laurent Gbagbo, has refused for more than a month to concede defeat and step down.

U.S. ‘enemy’ criticized NAJAF, Iraq — Muqtada alSadr lambasted the American “enemy” in Iraq during his first speech in the country since returning from exile, fiery rhetoric from a new powerbroker in the government that will make it difficult to extend the U.S. military deployment beyond the end of this year. The young Shiite cleric once blamed for some of the country’s worst sectarian violence also told his followers that such bloodshed would no longer be tolerated and appealed to them to show unity in the face of the country’s many problems. The 35-minute speech Saturday in the Shiite holy city of Najaf was a public debut for the young cleric after nearly four years in voluntary exile in neighboring Iran, and it seemed at times like a combination of a rock concert and religious sermon. After walking out to a podium draped in black cloth, al-Sadr had to wait almost a full five minutes for the rapturous crowd of around 20,000 people to quiet down enough for him to speak.

Hundreds gather for a vigil at the Arizona Capitol on Saturday in Phoenix for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and nine other people injured in a shooting that left six dead.

Did heated talk lead to attacks in Arizona? By Amanda Lee Myers and David Espo The Associated Press

TUCSON, Ariz. — A gunman targeted Rep. Gabrielle Giffords as she met with constituents outside a busy supermarket Saturday, wounding the Democrat and killing Arizona’s chief federal judge and five others in an attack that left Americans questioning whether divisive politics had pushed the suspect over the edge. The assassination attempt left the three-term congresswoman in critical condition after a bullet passed through her head. A shaken President Barack Obama called the attack “a tragedy for our entire country.” Giffords, 40, is a moderate Democrat who narrowly won reelection in November against a tea party candidate who sought to throw her from office over her support of the health care law.

Office vandalized Anger over her position became violent at times, with her Tucson office vandalized after the House passed the overhaul last March and someone showing up at a recent gathering with a weapon. Police said the shooter was in custody, and was identified by people familiar with the investigation as Jared Loughner, 22. U.S. officials who provided his name to the AP spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release it publicly. His motivation was not immediately known, but Pima

County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik described him as mentally unstable and possibly acting with an accomplice. Dupnik said Giffords was Giffords among 13 people wounded in the melee that killed six people — including 9-year-old Christina G r e e n e , 30-year-old Gifford aide Gabe Z i m m e r m a n Loughner and U.S. District Judge John Roll. The 63-year-old judge had just stopped by to see his friend Giffords after attending Mass. Dupnik said the rampage ended only after two people tackled the gunman. Also killed were 76-year-old Dorthy Murray, 76-year-old Dorwin Stoddard and 79-year-old Phyllis Scheck, investigators said. The sheriff blamed the vitriolic political rhetoric that has consumed the country, much of it occurring in Arizona. “When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government. “The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous,” he said. “And unfortunately, Arizona, I

think, has become the capital. We have become the mecca for prejudice and bigotry.” Giffords expressed similar concern, even before the shooting. In an interview after her office was vandalized, she referred to the animosity against her by conservatives, including Sarah Palin’s decision to list Giffords’ seat as one of the top “targets” in the midterm elections. “For example, we’re on Sarah Palin’s targeted list, but the thing is, that the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district.

‘There are consequences’ “When people do that, they have to realize that there are consequences to that action,” Giffords said in an interview with MSNBC. In the hours after the shooting, Palin issued a statement in which she expressed her “sincere condolences” to the family of Giffords and the other victims. During his campaign effort to unseat Giffords in November, Republican challenger Jesse Kelly held fundraisers where he urged supporters to help remove Giffords from office by joining him to shoot a fully loaded M-16 rifle. Kelly is a former Marine who served in Iraq and was pictured on his website in military gear holding his automatic weapon and promoting the event. “I don’t see the connection,” between the fundraisers featuring weapons and Saturday’s shooting, said John Ellinwood, Kelly’s spokesman.

Fiery package in Washington, D.C., elicits painful memories of anthrax By Brett Zongker The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Postal workers who returned to work Saturday said a package that ignited at a government mail facility conjured painful memories of the anthrax attacks that killed two of their colleagues in 2001. The fiery package found Friday, which was addressed to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, followed two packages that ignited Thursday in Maryland state government mailrooms. It halted government mail until bomb-sniffing dogs could sweep the D.C. facility.

Quick Read

Mail processing resumed Saturday morning after a meeting with workers, the local postmaster and the workers’ union. Postal workers union President Dena Briscoe said that the meeting was helpful but that the fiery package worried many employees. She said most of the postal workers also were sorting D.C. mail back in 2001, when letters containing anthrax were sent to lawmakers and news organizations as the nation was still reeling from the 9/11 attacks. “One of the ladies was crying because these episodes are bringing those feelings and those emo-

tions and those memories back,” Briscoe said. “We want them to feel safe and secure and be able to trust management to respond properly if this were to happen again.” Postal officials installed new sensors and other safety equipment in the wake of the anthrax mailings. When the popping and smoking package was discovered Friday, postal service managers failed to follow proper safety procedures, Briscoe said. The evacuation process was “very sloppy,” she said, because workers in the back of the building had no idea they were supposed to evacuate.

West: Two of three missing men found dead

Nation: Army’s 101st has most killed since Vietnam

Nation: Unclaimed vets buried with full honors

Nation: AWOL soldier must finish Afghan tour

Authorities said they’ve found the bodies of two of the three men reported missing after test-driving a Jeep in the Salt River bottom in southwest Phoenix. Phoenix police said the bodies were found Friday night, and they’re investigating the deaths as homicides. Due to darkness and rough terrain, police suspended the search for the third missing man until Saturday at dawn. Police spokesman Sgt. Steve Martos said they haven’t identified the bodies and declined to disclose how the two men died. Police also won’t release the name of the third missing man.

The Army’s famed 101st Airborne Division has suffered its deadliest year in combat since Vietnam, with the deaths of 106 soldiers since March. The military announced the most recent death Saturday. Spc. Christian Joseph Romig of Kenner, La., died Wednesday after being struck by an improvised explosive device in eastern Afghanistan. The Fort Campbell-based division has accounted for about 1 in 5 American deaths in Afghanistan over the past year. The division known as the Screaming Eagles has been part of President Barack Obama’s troop surge to push back Afghan insurgents.

A New York cemetery has held a mass funeral for 20 military veterans whose remains were never claimed. They were buried Saturday with full military honors at Calverton National Cemetery on eastern Long Island. All of them died recently. No one claimed their remains. The Department of Veterans Affairs said the service is part of a national effort to clear a backlog of unburied or unclaimed veterans’ remains. A folded flag from each coffin was handed to mourners standing in for absent relatives. They included members of Gold Star Mothers, a group of parents who lost their children in the military.

A Kentucky soldier who went AWOL after he said the military wasn’t treating his mental health issues has been ordered to deploy to finish his tour in Afghanistan. Spc. Jeff Hanks, who turned himself in on Veterans Day, said his command has ordered him to return to Afghanistan immediately and he expects to leave within days on a flight back to his unit. The Fort Campbell-based soldier told The Associated Press on Friday that he still believes his issues have not been adequately treated. “My family doesn’t want me to go, but I am not disobeying a command order,” he said.

Store: Inventory not replaced for holiday rush Continued from A1

Swain’s Outdoor in Sequim closed last summer, and its inventory was moved to the Port Townsend store. During this winter’s storms, Swain’s Outdoor was the only place in downtown Port Townsend to buy winter wear and sales were brisk, but inventory could not be replaced for the holiday rush, Cable said. During the past few months, the business was unable to secure a line of credit to purchase additional merchandise and many shelves were left bare, he said.

“We couldn’t make it work.” However, later in the day, Cable said that he had word that some kind of sporting goods and housewares store might replace Swain’s Outdoor. He said two companies, neither now based on the North Olympic Peninsula, had expressed interest in purchasing the lease on the building and the fixtures. He did not know when that might happen. “There’s uncertainty if we will find a purchaser for it,” Cable said. “I just want to give a little hope.” Cable manages the store for his parents, Glenda Swain Cable and Dick Cable, who had also owned the Swain’s Outdoor store in Sequim.

When customers come in, their authorizations are checked with their physicians. (Pharr said he turns people away if the ailment doesn’t seem legitimate, such as toe pain.) They then sign an agreement citing a member of the collective as their caregiver, procure the drug from that person and end the agreement as they leave. That way, the caregivers are never growing for more than one person at a time. Whether that’s enough to avoid being shut down will depend on local authorities. Clallam County Prosecuting Attorney Deb Kelly couldn’t be immediately reached for comment, but local law enforcement don’t appear too concerned about the new business. Police Chief Terry Gallagher said he doesn’t plan to take any action against the dispensary. He said that shouldn’t change as long as the drug is going to be people authorized to use it for medical purposes.

Not concerned

with the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, is also taking a similar approach to the issue because of ambiguity in the law. “We don’t want to be politicians. We want to be cops,” he said. “Give us a clear direction, and we’ll go out and do it.”

Commercial growing Pharr said he has been having trouble keeping up with demand and is considering starting his own “commercial growing operation” to meet it. While state law includes a six-day supply limit, typically defined as 15 plants, authorized users can grow more than that if OK’d by their physicians. Pharr said he has that authorization and is willing to grow up to 99 plants. (Any amount over that could bring harsher federal penalties, he said.) No marijuana is grown at the dispensary, and no more than one pound is stored there at any time, Pharr said. Cameron and Gallagher said they couldn’t say what they would do if he grew that much marijuana, since the number of plants isn’t the only factor they look at. For example, Cameron said, he will take the use into consideration. He said he visited an elderly woman’s growing operation that included 24 plants but didn’t take action because she was using the drug for a debilitating disease. “It was clear that this was a sick lady,” Cameron said. Pharr said if he does start a growing operation, he would seek an agricultural permit from the city and insist that it be inspected by police. He said he would let them have access to a live feed of the operation. “I’m trying to build a relationship here [with authorities],” Pharr said. To contact the dispensary, phone 360-452-2255.

“I have not met Mr. Pharr, and I have no reason to be concerned with him at this point,” Gallagher said. “My position is, until the Legislature clears up the law on marijuana and/or causes it to conform with federal law, this is not an issue that the police should be trying to resolve,” he added. Gallagher said he has not received any complaints about the operation. He also reiterated that if federal authorities take action against the dispensary — marijuana use for medical purposes is still illegal under federal law — the Port Angeles Police Department would assist them “to the degree neces________ sary.” Ron Cameron, Olympic Reporter Tom Callis can be Peninsula Narcotics reached at 360-417-3532 or at Enforcement Team member tom.callis@peninsuladailynews. and a chief criminal deputy com.

Magnetic levitation rises above rest Magna Force moving HQ downtown By Paul Gottlieb

Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — After spending 14 years tucked away at Airport Industrial Park, a homegrown manufacturing company with a worldwide reach has planted its corporate offices smack in the middle of downtown. Magna Force Inc., founded by inventor, company president and owner Karl “Jerry” Lamb in 1993, opened an office late last year in part of the former Bank of America building at 102 E. Front St., Port Angeles, in a structure owned by Jerry and Alana Levesque of Sequim. The headquarters is distinguished by the large LEVX sign on the east side. That’s the name of the magnetic levitation — maglev — technology invented by Lamb and tested at the Port of Port Angeles’ Airport Industrial Park. Magna Force also focuses on energy-saving, magnetic coupling devices that eliminate friction between pumps and motors. Its LEVX technology uses a cushion of magnets to move large, heavy objects — such as trains and 40-foot containers — seemingly without effort.

of which was bought from local businesses, Global Communications Director Ingrid Swanson said in an e-mail. In a 2003 Peninsula Daily News interview, Lamb, then 43, called LEVX “transportation for the 21st century.”

Selling worldwide

These days, Magna Force is selling LEVX technology worldwide, Singapore being the company’s main customer, said Lamb, who declined to be photographed. The primary marketing focus: transportation of 40-foot containers at the world’s ports, Lamb said. “We’re targeting container movement systems,” he said.

PA waterfront plan to be considered Feb. 1 By Tom Callis

Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — The final touches on the city of Port Angeles’ waterfront redevelopment plan are being made before the City Council considers adopting the plan Feb. 1. City staff members met with some of the project’s consultants Thursday to discuss changes proposed by residents at a public meeting in November, said Nathan West, city community and economic development director.

Some changes

Already, the city submitted a $2 million grant application with the state Economic Development Administration for the waterfront improvements. The City Council will determine which aspects of the plan to implement first, West said. No recommendations have been developed by staff yet, he said.

Monument signs Meanwhile, all efforts related to the placement for two large entryway monument signs are on hold. Last month, the council approved locations for the signs — which are still

being designed — along U.S. Highway 101 at the bottom of the Morse Creek S-curve east of town and at the Tumwater Truck Route exit on the west side. Citing concerns that placing a large sign, possibly as tall as 30 feet, on the S-curve would be a safety hazard, the council also directed staff to find ways to limit the impact on traffic before finalizing the design. That effort is now also on hold, West said, so that consultants’ staff can focus on finishing the waterfront designs. “It’s just so we can focus on one thing at a time,”

Some of the changes involve widening Railroad Avenue to improve truck access to the ferry terminal, landscaping on a proposed waterfront park on the west end of downtown and a proposed roundabout at Lincoln Street and Railroad Avenue, he said. The waterfront redevelopment effort is part of the city’s Waterfront and Transportation Improvement Plan. The two-phase plan —

which includes a transportation study and the development of new way-finding signs and entryway monument signs — is expected to cost about $778,000. The waterfront improvements and signs are projected to cost about $4.7 million to implement and are expected to be funded by a mixture of grants and money from the city’s economic development and lodging tax funds. Among other ideas, the proposed waterfront improvements include expanding Hollywood Beach, turning a portion of Railroad Avenue into a primarily pedestrian street, creating an esplanade west of the ferry terminals and a 2-acre park on the west end of downtown with beach access. The city’s schedule calls for starting the improvements in July. While the city seeks $3.5 million in grant funding to make the project happen, it has budgeted $500,000 in economic development funds for the effort this year.

Federal agency: Less fluoride better The Associated Press

ATLANTA — Federal health officials now say many Americans are now getting too much fluoride because of its presence not just in drinking water but in toothpaste, mouthwash and other products, and it’s causing splotches on children’s teeth and perhaps more serious problems. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced plans Friday to lower the recommended level of fluoride in drinking water for the first time in nearly 50 years, based on a fresh review of the science. The fluoridated water standard since 1962 has been a range of 0.7 parts per million for warmer climates where people used to drink more water to 1.2 parts per million in cooler regions. The new proposal from HHS would set the recommended level at just 0.7. The announcement is likely to renew the battle over fluoridation — which began in the 1950s, soon after the government began urging city water systems to add fluoride — even though the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers the addition of fluoride to drinking water one of the greatest public health successes of the 20th century.

The Environmental Protection Agency released two new reviews of research on fluoride Friday, one of which found that prolonged, high intake of fluoride can increase the risk of brittle bones, fractures and bone abnormalities. The EPA said it is reviewing whether to lower the maximum allowable level of fluoride in drinking water from the current 4 parts per million.

2006 report In 2006, the National Academy of Sciences released a report recommending that the EPA lower its maximum allowable level of fluoride in drinking water. The report warned severe fluorosis could occur at 2 parts per million. Also, a majority of the report’s authors said a lifetime of drinking water with fluoride at 4 parts per million or higher could raise the risk of broken bones. In addition, in 2005, the heads of 11 EPA unions, including ones representing the agency’s scientists, pleaded with the EPA to The Associated Press reduce the permissible level Kindergarten student Tianna Swisher, left, of Liberty Valley Elementary School in Danville, Pa., of fluoride in water to zero, attempts to drink from the water fountain at Montour Preserve near Washingtonville, Pa., during citing research suggesting the school’s outdoor field trip. it can cause cancer.

PA, Forks would lower levels

Declined to 60 percent The U.S. prevalence of decay in at least one tooth among teens has declined from about 90 percent at one time to 60 percent. Now, fluoride is in toothpaste and mouthwash. It can be found in bottled water and in soda. Some kids even take fluoride supplements. And young children may be getting too much. About two out of five adolescents have tooth streaking or spottiness because of too much fluoride, a government study found recently. In extreme cases, teeth can be pitted by the mineral — though many cases are so mild only dentists notice it. The problem is generally considered cosmetic and not a reason for serious concern. But there are also growing worries about more serious dangers from fluoride.

For more information, visit the county website at www.jeffersoncountysolid waste.com or phone DM Disposal at 360-385-6612. Clallam County residents outside of Port Angeles can take trees to the yard debris area of the Regional Transfer Station at 3501 W. 18th St. in Port Angeles from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday for a fee of $5. The trees are mixed with other yard debris and made into Garden Glory Compost, which the city sells for $20 per cubic yard with a oneyard minimum (prices are

discounted as bigger quantities). For more information about recycling, visit www. cityofpa.us or phone Freilich at 360-417-4874 or via e-mail at recycling@ cityofpa.us. Residents of Western Clallam County can take trees to West Waste Transfer Facility, 272 LaPush Road, Forks. The transfer facility is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.

Tree farm Another option for Christmas tree disposal is the Lazy J Tree Farm, 225 Gehrke Road, in the Agnew area between Port Angeles and Sequim.

Owner Steve Johnson said he will grind and compost trees for free and welcomes the community to drop off trees during daylight hours (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) any day of the week. “You didn’t have to buy your tree here to get it ground up here,” Johnson said. Johnson said the trees must be free of ornaments, tinsel and any other foreign objects — but they can be flocked. From U.S. Highway 101, turn at the intersection next to the State Patrol office (62 Old Olympic Highway) and go east on Old Olympic Highway to Wild Currant, then go north to Gehrke.

PORT ANGELES — The Clallam County Chain Gang has uncovered an illegal dump south of Port Angeles. Clallam County Jail Superintendent Ron Sukert said the dump was found between a week and 1.5 weeks ago. Clallam County Undersheriff Ron Peregrin said the dump included a transaxle from a vehicle and four bags of garbage. The garbage included mail that the Sheriff’s Office used to locate the alleged perpetrator. Earlier in the week, a man said he gave his wife $20 to take the garbage to the Port Angeles Transfer Station, Peregrin said. “She apparently dumped the trash and kept the 20 bucks,” he said. Neither Sukert nor Peregrin had the woman’s name available Saturday. They’re not releasing the location in order to not “spook” other dumpers they are trying to catch, Sukert said. Peregin said the woman will be cited for illegal discard of litter, a gross misdemeanor. Sukert said illegal dumping is fairly prevalent in the county.

Sawyer is now left with bronchitis from the fluid that surrounded the pistachio or the excess vomiting her body did to try to remove it. I’ve been giving her medication five times a day and have to put a mask over her face three to six times each day and night to give her a breathing treatment. All because of a pistachio, whose shell I carefully cracked in my own mouth so I could feed the nut inside to my child. Needless to say, after removing every raw nut and dried bean in evidence at my house (as well as all carrots and hot dogs, which I’m not taking any choking chances with any longer) and beating them mercilessly against the inside of my trash cans before throwing them out, we are now a nut-free house.

If these foods “go down the wrong pipe,” they will expand — and in a child under 4 years old, expand so much they could block an airway. And I mean, really, who knows this? I have three kids.

parents association at our preschool. I see doctors regularly and make all my kids’ food from recipes I’ve gotten from parenting cookbooks, kids’ websites and other families. In not one of these circles have I ever heard that my children could die if I fed them whole nuts before age 4. Thank goodness this superhero-surgeon put a scope down

“Get spending under control. We can’t spend our way out of our economic problems. Where to cut? There is no easy answer. You have your pet projects, and we have our needs, too.”

“I would tell them to not cut Medicaid caregiving hours. Some of our oldest people need someone to take them shopping, the pharmacy and doctors’ offices.”

“I would say to the Legislature that the state medical and educational programs are in need of repair and that they have to do something to fix them.”

“Go home! We need citizen legislators. You are in isolation down there. How often have we seen a legislator on the streets? You need to be here and listen to us more.”

“Start listening to the people. Cut costs and utilize the taxpayers’ money more effectively. I hope you pay more attention to what we say, either by choice or by force.”

“I’d tell them they need to stop lining their own pockets and help the common people. Being a legislator sets you up for life in retirement. Work for a living like the rest of us.”

“Stop Gregoire from fooling around with the disability programs in our state. Workers’ comp and such affects all of us. Get her straightened out, please.”

“Don’t forget about the schools when you start your cutting. Schools are important. Kids are our future. Keep the extra curriculum, as it helps kids want to stay in school.”

Interviews

Peninsula Voices For Sierra Club As a Sierra Club member, I take exception to many of the statements in the Jan. 3 PDN letter in Peninsula Voices, “Sierra Club critic.” The Sierra Club is not opposed to the Nippon biomass project. We are opposed to the approval process. There has been little public discussion of health and environmental concerns. Before approval is given, these issues should be debated before a concerned and unbiased [Port Angeles] City Council. It is true that national and state agencies included biomass in lists of alternative energies. However, this was done with little understanding of

biomass. Much of the science and data was not available prior to 2009. There is now a history of projects in the Northeast, giving us a better understanding of the effects of biomass. Scientists and health agencies are beginning to question whether biomass is green or healthy. Thurston County was likely aware of this new information when it instituted a 12-month moratorium on biomass projects. The Sierra Club is not advocating the closure of a major employer like Nippon. Our local membership of 826 is as dependent as other citizens on a healthy economy. We do not want people

Charity solicitors Help! The sky is falling! End-of-year donation

solicitors have gone into a frenzy. Below is a list of screaming subject lines from a random sample of the nearly 100 requests received over the 24 hours before the end of the year. It’s good to give, but the process seems to be approaching apocalyptic proportions. Granted, the end of the year is a critical time for solicitors. Why must it become a critical time for the citizen who can’t possibly give to all worthy causes seeking help? Of course, one must choose, but it becomes impossible to choose among the plethora of good causes presented in appeals assuming not the end of the year — but the end of

JV Lady Riders My husband, Tim, and I attended the Dec. 23 Port Angeles High School girls’ basketball game. The Mount Tahoma opponents were formidable and played a very rough game.

The JV [Port Angeles] Lady Riders were elbowed, shoved and shouldered, frequently hitting the floor, once even body-slammed on the floor, similar to a pro wrestling move. But the JV girls were scoring in the midst of this rough bunch. They scored points from the beginning, their opponents never caught up, and the JV Lady Riders won. The score was 65-50, a pretty high-scoring game against a Class 4A JV team. I was impressed how the JV Rider girls scored their points, prevailing against the very aggressive, rough, full-court press with their own aggressive style of passing, running and layups. Turn

extremely high-risk, subprime loans to unqualified borrowers which, in turn, ultimately caused our housing meltdown. Basically, loan organizations were forced to comply with devastating, Socialist, wealth-redistributing regulation. It failed, not capitalism. What his letter doesn’t point out is that this was the second Socialist-Democrat redistributionist failure in our lifetime. Namely, FDR’s vote-buying, Savings and Loan (S&L) Act — an act not too unlike the Community Reinvestment Act — ultimately and inevitably collapsed the S&Ls with great pain in the 1980s. Like the CRA, FDR’s Act redistributed wealth by forcing S&Ls to cap home loans at low rates, which ultimately sank them. In both cases, phony Socialist-Democrat propaganda blamed capitalist deregulation for the meltdowns, whereas the reality was that socialist regulation in the first place — in terms of the CRA and S&L Act in themselves — led to the painful collapses. The only real difference was the fuse lengths on their respective time bombs. FDR also fused another spluttering, redistributionist time bomb that’s doomed to fail — it’s the wealth-redistributing, inter-generational con game known as Social Security. It will fail because, if for no other reason, ongoing demographic changes mean more and more retirees will swamp the contribution capabilities of fewer and fewer workers. Alas. We tried to wake up voters, but they succumbed to the false promises of the Socialist-Democrats’ ballot-box greed. One more SocialistDemocrat free-lunch scheme will inevitably bite the dust.

Sequim teen hit by car

PDN is king of the Internet on North Olympic Peninsula

By Jeff Chew

Peninsula Daily News

SEQUIM — A 13-yearold Sequim boy hit by a car early Friday night on River Road near U.S. Highway 101 was listed in serious condition at Harborview Medical Center on Saturday. Sgt. Ken Almberg said Saturday that the Sequim Police Department’s initial investigation found that Shaun Terry attempted to cross River Road near Applebee’s restaurant parking lot in the southbound lane close to the westbound on-ramp to U.S. Highway 101. Sequim resident Beverly Simmons, 61, whose 1992 Toyota Camry struck the youth when he walked out onto the road, was not cited by Sequim police and was not speeding at the time, Almberg said. “He kind of walked out from Applebee’s straight into the line of traffic,” Almberg said. “He was hit dead center of the car.” There is no crosswalk

The youth was lying on the pavement but moving around at the scene shortly after he was hit at about 5:45 p.m. Paramedics with Clallam County Fire District 3 treated him at the scene, then Olympic Ambuland transported him to Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles. He was later airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. A Harborview supervising nurse reported his con-

dition as “serious” Saturday evening. Almberg said the youth was in and out of consciousness at the scene Friday night and appeared to have facial abrasions that indicated a neck injury. Southbound River Road traffic was directed around the scene for about a halfhour Friday night, backing it up to the West Washington Street roundabout at times. Because of the youth’s condition, Almberg said, police were awaiting his statement. The teen’s family was notified.

BCS Title Game

Coaches rise from unknown GENE CHIZIK WON five games in two seasons at Iowa State before becoming Auburn’s head coach in 2009. Oregon’s Chip Ralph D. Kelly can top that. He had Russo never even been more than an offensive coordinator — and had only been working in major college football for two seasons — when he was promoted to top Duck, also in 2009. Now Chizik and Kelly each are a win away from a national championship, with only the other in the way. Whichever coach leads his team to victory in the BCS title game Monday night will join an elite club. Only eight active FBS coaches have won national championships. The group includes Alabama’s Nick Saban, LSU’s Les Miles, Texas’ Mack Brown, Chizik Ohio State’s Jim Tressel, Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops, South Carolina’s Steve Spurrier, Penn State Hall of Famer Joe Paterno and Florida Atlantic’s Howard Schnellenberger. Compared to those guys, Chizik Kelly and Kelly are practically unknowns to the casual sports fan. The 49-year-old Chizik’s return to Auburn, where he had been defensive coordinator for the undefeated 2004 Tigers, was not — at first — triumphant. He had spent 19 years as an assistant, the final two at Texas where he helped the Longhorns win a national championship in 2005 and became rising star within college coaching. Iowa State, a program with little history of success, gave Chizik his first head coaching job in 2007. He won three games that season and two the next, and it seemed as if his star had dimmed. “Iowa State was a rebuilding situation for myself and our assistants,” he said. “I had a great two years there, learned a lot, did a lot, made a lot of strides. “Obviously, along the way we would have liked to have had more wins.”

Warm welcome When he was hired to replace his former Auburn boss, Tommy Tuberville, who was ousted with a 85-40 record, many Tigers fans and alum were outraged. A YouTube video of athletic director Jay Jacobs being heckled by an upset fan exemplified the anger. To compete against Saban, Auburn had hired a coach that was 5-19 at Iowa State. Of course, not all the Auburn fans wanted to run Chizik off before he even moved into his office. “When I came to Auburn, I got off the plane, there was about 800 people waiting for me and it was an awesome reception, and it has never changed,” said Chizik, a native of Clearwater, Fla. “There’s always going to be a few people that disagree with anybody’s hire.” Knowing you’re only as good as the people around you, Chizik assembled a strong staff, led by offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn and assistant head coach and lockdown recruiter Trooper Taylor. It was Malzahn and Taylor who Chizik credits with helping Auburn land Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton out of junior college. With Newton leading the way, Auburn went from 8-5 last season to 13-0 and in position to win the school’s first national title since 1957 this season. “He can look at a team — and I don’t know how he does it, I’m trying to figure it out because I want that ability — but he can look at a team and he can say, ‘This is what this team needs,”’ Taylor said about Chizik.

Seattle Seahawks’ Marshawn Lynch (24) breaks away from New Orleans Saints’ Tracy Porter to score a touchdown in the second half of Saturday’s NFC wild card playoff game in Seattle. The 67-yard run sealed a Seattle win.

Hawks Marshawn Lynch’s 67-yard run seals upset of Saints

the party was on at the NFL’s loudest stadium. Seattle, the first division winner with a losing record, will play next weekend, either at top-seeded Atlanta or No. 2 Chicago. “We kind of expected to win,” first-year Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “I know that sounds crazy, but we did expect to win. The fact that it happened, it’s just kind of like, we want to take it in stride and go to the next one.” Hasselbeck, cleared to play two days ago because of a hip injury, threw for 272 yards and his four TD passes set a playoff career high.

The veteran quarterback threw two TD passes to tight end John Carlson in the first half and started the second half with a 38-yard strike to Mike Williams to give Seattle a 31-20 lead. Hasselbeck had fluid drained off his hip before the game — for the third time he said — and he might not have played if the procedure didn’t go well. “Through all the tough stuff we had to go through the opportunity was still there for us to host a home playoff game against a really good team and I think we were all excited about it,” Hasselbeck said. “It was fun.”

SEATTLE — Jokes, lightweights, laughingstocks. Not these Seattle Seahawks. They just sent the defending Super Bowl champions packing. Matt Hasselbeck threw four touchdown passes and Marshawn Lynch scored on an electrifying 67-yard run with 3:22 left and the Seahawks pulled

one of the biggest upsets in playoff history with a 41-36 win over the New Orleans Saints. The Seahawks (8-9) held a 34-20 early in the fourth quarter before Drew Brees looked ready to lead the Saints (11-6) on one of their patented comebacks. But Lynch broke about a half-dozen tackles for his TD and a few anxious minutes later,

PORT TOWNSEND — The Port Townsend girls basketball team’s defense was solid as it ran over the Klahowya Eagles for a 63-33 Olympic League victory Friday night. Bella Fox scored 15 points and dished out 11 assists for a double-double while Kiley Maag scored 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds to lead the Redskins to a blowout win. “We are improving and getting better every week,” Port Townsend coach Randy Maag said. “We played as well as we could play.”

PORT ANGELES — The Kingston Buccaneers were given one objective on defense against the Port Angeles Roughriders: Protect the paint. With a big assist from Sam Byers and George Hill, the Buccaneers did just that in the fourth quarter of their Olympic League boys basketball showdown with the Riders. Kingston closed out the game with an 18-2 run — accentuated by three Byers blocks and seven of Hill’s 13 points — to beat Port Angeles 57-41 and seize control of the Olympic League race Friday night. “They are a good team and you kind of have to pick your poison,” Kingston head coach Blake Conley said.

ELMA — The Spartans (3-2, 6-5) played well against the Montesano Bulldogs in a 56-42 win Friday night before losing at Elma 44-38 on Saturday. Forks held Montesano to 10 points in the first half, leading by as much as 17 points. Then a scoring frenzy began in the fourth quarter as Forks finished on top. The Eagles were able to take advantage of the tired Spartans on Saturday.

Hayden McCartney also had 10 points for the Riders, with his breakaway layup with 5:20 to go in the fourth capping a 15-2 Rider run between the third and fourth quarters that tied the game at 39. That was the last basket the Riders would make the rest of the way. “We just broke down a little bit as a team,” Antioquia said. “We just kind of made some dumb decisions toward the fourth. Added the senior, “We’ve just got to bounce back like nothing really happened and put that behind us and still play our game.” Kingston hit 4 of 6 shots in the final frame (18 of 39 on the game) and 11 of 14 free throws to close it out. Byers was 4-for-4 from the charity stripe during that time, finishing with a game-high 15 points to go along with nine rebounds and three assists. Zane Ravenholt added 11 points and four assists for Kingston, which overcame its turnover-filled stretch between the third and fourth quarters to outlast the Riders. Helping matters for the Buccaneers was the absence of Port Angeles’ Ian Ward, who scored eight points in limited minutes before fouling out in the fourth. Port Angeles outrebounded Kingston 32-25

Wrestling: Sequim finishes in fifth Continued from B1 Said Gonzalez, “I told the guys heading into the finals that it didn’t matter whether we won or lost, I wasn’t pleased with today.” Brian Cristion and Andrew Symonds each won individual titles to help inch the Riders (251 points) just past state-tanked North Mason (245) for the tournament crown. Sequim’s Derek Fruin led the Wolves with a championship of his at the 135-pound weight class, the only other area champion at the tournament. Three other Riders made the finals and seven more the semifinals as Port Angeles had 14 wrestlers place in the 10-team event. Still, it was Port Angeles’ inability to put a few more in the finals and atop the podium that had Gonzalez a little disappointed. “We wrestled really well the first day, and we were way ahead, and the second day we didn’t wrestle as well,” Gonzalez said.

“We had a chance to really widen the gap and instead we allowed [North Mason] to close the gap. We have to get to the point where we understand what it takes to put people away.” That certainly couldn’t be said of Cristion or Symonds, both of whom dominated their finals matchups. Cristion moved his season record to a perfect 22-0 with a 2-minute, 26-second pin of Bainbridge’s Karl Hunt in the 189 title match. The senior flipped Hunt on his back after the Trojan made an aggressive move for an attempted takedown and got the pin. Symonds then closed out the tournament with a 5-0 points victory over Cedarcrest’s Austin Koons at 140 pounds. “Andrew is looking very business-like right now,” Gonzalez said. “He won the final 5-0, but it wasn’t that close. He was in complete control the entire match.” The tournament championship was the second of the season for Symonds, who is now 22-4.

Up until this year, the senior hadn’t won a tournament since claiming a subregional title in 2008. “I just wanted to control the whole match [in the finals] and stay in good position,” Symonds said, “and I felt like I did that pretty well. So I feel good.” Fruin scored his first ever tournament victory in dramatic fashion. The Sequim sophomore was dead even at 0-0 with Cedarcrest’s Carlos Toledano in the second round when he scored an escape, takedown and pin in a matter of seconds. Fruin jumped up and swung his fist with delight after the referee slammed his palm to the mat. “To win in front of the home crowd is the biggest confidence booster for me,” said Fruin, the Wolves’ lone finalist. “It’s really important because I get to have all my friends see what I can do.” Sequim finished fifth overall (214 points), with 14 wrestlers placing in the top six. That included third-place

finishes from Dakotah Hinton (171 pounds), Emilio Perete-Colin (215) and Clay Charley (285). “We were hovering around fourth. We just didn’t get enough to break through into the finals to get any higher than that,” Sequim coach Len Borchers said. “But I was really pleased to see Derek [win at 135]. He works hard and he’s certainly motivated to do well.” Brian Cristion nearly matched his brother’s championship showing for PA. The sophomore had a one-point lead on Cedarcrest’s Martin Vakamoce with 26 seconds to go in the 171 finals. But after an injury timeout, Vakamoce came up with a reversal and held on for a 4-3 victory. Jacob Dostie lost his 215pound final to Kingston’s Freddy Rodolf 9-3 to also finish second for the Riders, while teammate Trevor Lee was pinned in 160 final and placed second as well. Taking third for the Riders were Josh Basden (109) and Zach Grall (189).

Eastern Washington offensive linesman Brice Leahy (79) celebrates with fans that ran onto the field after beating Delaware 20-19 winning the FCS Championship in Frisco, Texas, on Friday.

Eagles soar to EWU rallies for 20-19 win against Delaware By Jamie Aron

The Associated Press

FRISCO, Texas — Down by 19 points late in the third quarter, getting shut out by the toughest defense to score against among all FCS teams, Eastern Washington finally had something to cheer about. A touchdown pass meant the Eagles wouldn’t get shut out. Then Bo Levi Mitchell threw another touchdown pass. And, with 2:47 left, he did it again. When the Eastern Washington defense followed with one last stand, the guys best known for playing their home games on a flaming-red turf had a new claim to fame — national champions, having pulled off a stunning 20-19 victory over Delaware on Friday night in their first trip to the finals. “It’s been like this all year,” Mitchell said. “We’ve had a bunch of up-and-down games. It’s all a credit to the coaches because they never panic.

“Once we got that first touchdown, that gave us a lot of confidence. That really electrified us.” Mitchell grew up outside Houston and began his college career at nearby SMU. Folks in Cheney will always consider him one of their own after this performance. Wearing flaming-red cleats to remind him of his new home, Mitchell went from generating only 92 yards midway through the third quarter to leading TD drives that covered 80, 89 and 69 yards. “We started to go uptempo,” coach Beau Baldwin said. “We wanted to play as fast as we could on offense. We felt like that was going to give us the best chance. “We took it to a speed where that would give us a little bit of an edge. It allowed Bo and the receivers to get into a rhythm.” Brandon Kaufman capped the first scoring drive with a 22-yard catch. Nicholas Edwards had the next TD, a 9-yarder.

Then it was back to Kaufman for an 11-yarder in the back of the end zone for the title-winner. “I didn’t make that great of a play,” Kaufman said. Then he pointed to Mitchell and added, “It was all this guy.” Mitchell was 29 of 43 for 302 yards, and truly led the way as Eastern Washington (13-2) ran only seven times in the second half. He was selected the game’s most outstanding player. He converted a fourthand-8 on the second TD march and one of those rare runs came on a fourth-and-1 a few plays before the winning touchdown. It was so pivotal officials reviewed it twice, once to adjust the spot, then again to make sure they’d properly reset the chains before that remeasurement. “We stopped them,” Delaware coach K.C. Keeler said. “There’s no ifs, ands or buts about it. We stopped them. “We’re in a championship ballgame and we have a spot with 3 minutes left to go in the game that dictates who wins and loses.” Delaware (12-3) — with Vice President Joe Biden, an alum, watching five rows behind the team’s bench — looked like it was going to

run away with its second title in eight years. Pat Devlin guided the Blue Hens to a touchdown on their first drive, then field goals on their next two series. Mixing runs and passes, they had 230 yards by halftime. When they stretched the lead to 19-0, they seemed ready to avenge their 2007 title-game loss with Ravens star Joe Flacco as their quarterback. Instead, they turned into the team that couldn’t hold such a big, late lead. “To say the loss is devastating is an understatement,” Keeler said. “Shame on us for not putting the ballgame away.” The final play summed up the meltdown. The Blue Hens gained 9 yards on a fourth-and-10, turning the ball over on downs with 47 seconds left. “Whether it be me missing reads or missing throws, or just whatever, we really just didn’t execute like we have been,” said Devlin, who was 22 of 34 for 220 yards, with just his third interception of the season. The Football Championship Subdivision is the highest level of college football with a playoff. Eastern Washington had never won any sport at the Division I level.

Outwardly, they couldn’t seem more different. During media day Thursday, Chizik spent his 30 minutes at the podium answering questions with a heavy dose of coachspeak and cliches. Kelly, a New Hampshire native with a passion for books about motivation, spent a good portion of his time rattling off sarcastic one-liners and quips. He talks about as fast as his team plays. Asked if he had to pinch himself every once in a while to know that his whirlwind rise to the top of

Hawks: Win in playoffs Continued from B1 The game wasn’t clinched, though, until Lynch provided a run that’ll be replayed in the Pacific Northwest for years. He took a second-down carry with less than four minutes to go and then the highlights began. He broke six tackles on his 67-yard run, tossing in a massive stiff arm that sent cornerback Tracy Porter to the turf and completed the longest scoring run of his career. The win was the first in the playoffs for a team with a losing record. “We respect the heck out of the Saints, but I think we felt something special all week and today, and we’ll see,” Hasselbeck said. “It’s a good start for us.”

Lynch finished with 131 yards on 19 carries, the first Seattle back to top 100 yards all season. Hasselbeck, Lynch and a strong performance by Seattle’s offense extended the Saints franchise misery to 0-4 in road playoff games. The Saints were considered the second-best team in the conference behind the NFC South-winning Falcons. Even though they lost to Tampa Bay in the season finale a week ago and were without running backs Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory, safety Malcolm Jenkins and linebacker Danny Clark, the Saints were favored by 10½ points to advance. Now they go home. Brees, who completed a

playoff-record 39 passes in 60 attempts for 404 yards and two TDs, still couldn’t match Hasselbeck and the Seahawks offense. Brees led one final drive, hitting Devery Henderson on a 6-yard touchdown with 1:30 left to get within 41-36. But DeShawn Wynn was stopped on the 2-point conversion, Garrett Hartley’s onside kick was recovered by Carlson and the Seahawks were home free. “It’s disappointing. It starts with us and myself and the rest of the coaches,” Saints coach Sean Payton said. “I thought they had effort but in the end, not enough to win this game. It’s disappointing to get in the postseason and finish with a loss to start.”

Peninsula’s Sammeon Waller tries to get around the defense of Bellevue’s Daniel Simon in first half action on Saturday on Peninsula’s Port Angeles campus.

his profession was real, Kelly responded: “I am not a pinch myself kind of guy.” Asked about the high prices being paid by some fans for tickets to the big game, Kelly said: “I’m unaware of the ticket prices. I don’t have to pay for mine.” Why doesn’t he like to talk about himself? “Because I know about myself.” Is their a cultural difference between the Northeast and the Northwest? “Yeah, they don’t drive fast enough in Oregon. I can’t get to work as quick as I would like.” It’s been a quick road to the top for both men. For one of them, it’s about to get even faster.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Nick Folk made a 32-yard field goal as time expired Saturday night, giving the New York Jets a 17-16 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Saturday’s AFC Wild Card playoff. It was a remarkable turn of events for the Colts, who got a 50-yard field goal from Adam Vinatieri that put them ahead 16-14 with a minute to go Antonio Cromartie returned the ensuing kickoff 47 yards and Mark Sanchez needed five plays to get the Jets into position for the winner.

Pirate men 2-0 in North after 79-67 victory Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — The Bellevue men’s basketball team pulled out to a 3-0 lead in Saturday’s NWAACC North Division showdown with Peninsula College. That was the only time the Bulldogs would be ahead of the Pirates (2-0 in North, 7-4 overall). Peninsula took control of the game early and cruised to a 79-67 victory and 2-0 start to its North Division schedule Saturday night. “We really competed hard,” Peninsula coach Lance Von Vogt said.

“It was a definite team effort.” Thad Vinson led Peninsula with 23 points, three rebounds and one assist as the game’s leading scorer, and three other Pirates reached double figures in scoring — Sammeon Waller (17), DeShaun Freeman (14) and Mitrell Clark (10). The Pirates had a 42-28 lead at halftime then came out in the second half and extended it to 17 points to take a 64-47 lead. Bellevue never challenged the Pirates again.

SEATTLE — Matthew Bryan-Amaning helped Washington run past Oregon State. He knows it was all because of the Huskies’ defense.

Contest the shot, rebound and push it.” Jared Cunningham led Oregon State (7-8, 2-2) with 21 points. Roberto Nelson had 15 points. Washington (12-3) is 4-0 in the Pac-10 for the first time since winning its first six in 1984. The Beavers led 37-28 in the first half, but Washington closed out the half with a 12-2 run. Venoy Overton hit a runner as time expired to give the Washington the lead. The Huskies still have not trailed at halftime this season. “For him to go around about 10 dudes and make that floater, it was a momentum change,” Washington’s Isaiah Thomas said. “We took that into the second half. “We’re the kind of team and when we’re down, we think we’re going to come back,” he added. “We feel like we can come back on any deficit.” The Huskies kept it up after halftime, opening with a 16-2 run before

Beavers coach Craig Robinson called a timeout to regroup with 16:05 left. Bryan-Amaning had eight points during the surge. “I called timeouts, when I thought I should of but I don’t think that is going to stop these guys,” Robinson said. “You have to defend these guys and play tough the entire game or a tie game will turn into a blowout in five minutes.” Washington shot 64 percent in the second half, scoring 75 points over the last 23:25 for its 11th straight win over Pac-10 opponents. That streak is the Huskies’ longest since the Pac-10 was formed in 1978.

Even in tough times, generosity prevails EDITOR’S NOTE — Timothy L. Hockett is executive director of OlyCAP — Olympic Community Action ProHockett grams, the No. 1 emergency services agency in Jefferson and Clallam counties.

By Tim Hockett Since 1989, OlyCAP has worked together with the Peninsula Daily News to describe how the community hurts and to provide a way to do something about it. As the writer of about half the Peninsula Home Fund stories published each year over the last 21 years, I have taken great delight in seeing the fund grow from its fledgling beginnings ($4,812 in 1989) to the current record of $248,367.35. It is a testament to sensitivity and kindness that YOU readers have responded so generously. When John Brewer, the PDN’s publisher and editor, called me with the news that we would break the prior year’s record, I was

absolutely stunned. As Monday dawned, OlyCAP had virtually exhausted the 2010 Home Fund. The number of people who were directly affected by your generosity is placed at 3,272. By my estimation, we may be able to help an additional 250 people in 2011 because of the community’s generosity in the 2010 Home Fund campaign. This is clearly the most difficult economic time I can recall. Our region has weathered many economic storms in the past (timber industry decline, mill closures), but I have not seen so many in need nor so many in deep need as I have seen in this current recession. Folks are losing not just jobs, but homes and even health. Poverty is literally making people sick. The year ahead will be difficult. Family wage jobs will remain scarce and will go to those best qualified. Lower-paying jobs will be filled with overqualified folks and elders among us who need to work to make it on their fixed pensions. Many folks will exhaust

unemployment benefits and will be turning to government or to the community for help. There is still huge demand for access to health care, especially dental care. Many folks facing foreclosure or bankruptcy will struggle with financing their family budgets even if they find and maintain jobs. Consequently, the need for basic necessities will remain high — affordable housing, affordable transportation, food, clothing, medical attention, even school supplies. Against that sober backdrop, however, is a determined community — ready to give even in tough times. To all who helped make the Peninsula Home Fund a success: my warmest thanks. To you who contributed to the Home Fund: hugs from all of those whom you helped. To those who struggle day to day, please know that a strong network of agencies and individuals across the Peninsula is working hard to provide help. Take some encouragement that your neighbors, by means of the Home Fund, have taken a bold step to provide at least a hand up.

My mother-in-law, Maryann McFarland, had been battling a severe respiratory illness since she was hospitalized in late October. Thanks to the talented staff and skilled care she received at our hospital (OMH), she was moved to Crestwood to continue her recovery for 30 days before going home. Their care, rehabilitation and therapy helped her to get strong enough to return home to her loving husband, Levi, on Dec. 7, where she was able to spend (what turned out to be) her final weeks in the comfortable surroundings of her own home. She was preparing to return to Crestwood to continue physical therapy on an outpatient basis when her health took a sudden downward turn. She was rehospitalized Dec. 19 and passed away the morning of Dec. 22. We found this envelope (sealed, addressed and stamped) the day after she passed away. Based on the date of the check, making this donation was the first thing she did when she got home from Crestwood — clearly a sign of her appreciation for

their help. Sadly, it was also her final act of charity. I just wanted to let you know a little about the people behind the contributions that go to help so many.

Sequim school employees nationally recognized Five from district receive National Board Certified Teachers honor Peninsula Daily News

SEQUIM — Sequim School District employees Matthew Duchow, Charles Kleinberg, Renee Mullikin, Chelsea Reichner and Jake Reichner have all been named National Board Certified Teachers by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. Duchow is a counselor at Helen Haller Elementary School; Kleinberg teaches multimedia at Sequim High School; Mullikin is a secondgrade teacher at Greywolf Elementary School; Chelsea Reichner is a language arts/ journalism teacher at Sequim High School; and Jake Reichner teaches English and art at Sequim High School. National Board certification requires teachers to submit a four-part portfolio and a six-exercise content and pedagogy assessment.

The 10 entries document a teacher’s success in the classroom as evidenced by his or her students’ learning. The portfolio is then assessed by a national panel of peers. Candidates who choose to pursue National Board certification devote 200-300 hours to this program over the course of a school year. To date, the Sequim School District has 16 National Board Certified teachers. “The NBC is a rigorous and demanding course of study. Completing the certification is a significant achievement. The efforts of our teachers are a testament to their commitment to lifelong learning,” Superintendent Bill Bentley said. Each candidate chooses a certificate that pertains to the area in which

but it was an awesome experience. “It was a growing-andstretching process that took us to new levels. “I would definitely recommend the program to others.” The percentage of candidates who pass the National Boards is only around 47 percent. The cost of seeking National Board certification is approximately $3,000. Some financial assistance is available from Beta Nu Chapter of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International.

Photographers to discuss Norwegian polar bear trip Peninsula Daily News

PORT TOWNSEND — Port Angeles photographers Elston and Jackie Hill will discuss their recent trip to find the polar bears of the Svalbard archipelago at the far north of Norway. The presentation, part of Port Townsend’s Winter Wanderlust series, will be held at the Joseph F. Wheeler Theater in Fort Worden State Park at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. Their journey began in Oslo, then took them to Bodo, north of the Arctic Circle, where they found a countryside of cascading waterfalls and the world’s largest natural whirlpool

They traveled farther north to Tromso, a region of impressive fjords and the culture of the Sami, “people of the reindeer,” and from there hopped a flight to one of the world’s northernmost towns, Longyearben, on the Svalbard island of Spitzbergen. There they boarded a 12-passenger boat and proceeded north to the pack ice within 500 miles of the North Pole, 81 degrees north of the equator. Amid the glaciers and icebergs, the Hills encountered almost 40 polar bears, including mothers and cubs feeding on a fin whale carcass.

They saw more than a thousand walrus, plus reindeer, fin whales, arctic foxes and an untold number of nesting birds, including auks, Arctic terns and murres. Today, Svalbard has the most protected Arctic wildlife in the world due to bans from the 1950s to the 1970s on hunting walrus and polar bears. Admission to Winter Wanderlust is by donation, $7 suggested, $1 students.

May be the year for ‘grosbeak winter’ IT’S BEEN A long time since we’ve enjoyed large numbers of evening grosbeaks. Every year, I hope for a “grosbeak winter,” and perhaps this will be one. Scattered reports of sightings began in December and now, these same yards have at least two dozen birds coming to their feeders. I keep hoping to hear some familiar peeping, but no luck so far. Despite the “gros” in their name, these are handsome, even beautiful, birds that resemble giant goldfinches. The first time you see one, you think of a wild parrot. Their large, conical bill is responsible. Even their name makes reference to it. That part of their name is easy to understand, but where does “evening” come from? For some reason, it was originally thought that this member of the finch family sang mostly in the evenings. That is definitely not the case.

Heavy snow in the mountains will push them into the lower elevations, but how far and where it will push them depends on the availability of food. During those rare winters when evening gros-

beaks settle in at feeding stations in the Northwest, they sometimes stay until early spring. Sunflower seed sales will go up, as most of us can’t resist feeding these handsome birds. They’re a rare treat in lowland yards, and we try our best to entice them to stay.

Even so, come March, they will begin to leave. So if you are among the lucky ones to have them in your yard, enjoy!

Peninsula Daily News

Time for divorced man to branch out DEAR ABBY: I divorced two years ago after 40 years of marriage. The divorce papers read “irreconcilable differences.” I made up my mind that I wouldn’t badmouth my ex-wife, would use her name when speaking of her and would rebuild my personal and social life as quickly as possible. Last year, I dated half a dozen widows. Without fail, during the course of the date, these lovely ladies would raise the subject of the death of their husbands. These women were beyond tears, but the pain in their eyes was evident. I heard stories about how they took care of a beloved husband while he was dying of cancer, or an unexplained sudden death and the anguish of trying to wake him from his eternal

sleep. Christmas has just passed, and it has been a long time since I have felt so alone. I went to the clubhouse in our community for dinner, but all my friends were either away for the holidays or entertaining friends and family, and I couldn’t intrude. While I listened to these widows, I have seen steely eyes soften and even heard them laugh. What an ego booster it has been for me. What I need now is some of my own medicine. I hope one day I’ll find someone who doesn’t need

a handsome Jack, a good golfer or a sugar daddy. Until then, I’ll just have to be a . . . Lonesome George Dear Lonesome George: Because you’re a good listener, please listen to me. It’s time to become more involved in life. Enroll in adult education classes, learn to paint, take a writing class or an acting class, or get some computer training. Volunteer your services. There are plenty of underprivileged people, people with disabilities and teens who could use a friend. Get involved in your political party, your church or a professional organization. Take dancing lessons. Join a gym or health club. Do some entertaining and ask your friends to bring a friend. And let your

friends know you’re available. You may not meet the perfect somebody right away, but you’ll make new friends — and one of them may have a friend who’s perfect for you. Dear Abby: My lifelong friend from childhood wonders why I am avoiding her. Now that I am in my 80s, the unfairness of a lie from our past is still plaguing me. Seventy-five years ago at a Sunday school picnic, I saw “Mary Ann’s” mother take something from another woman’s purse. As she looked around, she caught my eye, and an ugly expression came over her face. Days later, Mary Ann told me people in our church were being told I was a thief.

Not having the maturity to handle the enormous falsehood and knowing it wasn’t true, I chose to ignore it. But it didn’t go away. It followed me all my life. Some years later, another friend advised me to talk to our minister, who told me to pray about it. My prayer was that he would stand up in the pulpit and declare my innocence, but it never came about, and I eventually left the church. I learned later that Mary Ann’s mother had a habit of stealing from homes where she worked as a practical nurse. Losing my reputation because of this woman’s weakness made the lie all the more painful, and I so want to be cleared at least in my friend’s eyes. But do I want to hurt my friend in revealing her

mother’s responsibility in switching the blame for her theft? Please help. In Lingering Pain, Graham Dear In Pain: Write Mary Ann a letter and tell her exactly what you have told me. I’m sure she knows her mother’s character very well, and it will come as no shock to her. Then, the two of you should decide together how her mother’s slander of you should be handled. If she’s your friend, she’ll help you.

_________ Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Letters can be mailed to Dear Abby, P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069 or via e-mail by logging onto www.dearabby.com.

Prevent premature roses with cleanup DEAR MR. MAY: My roses seem to have premature swelling buds. Did not prune late; they are quite scraggly. I guess they are responding to our very mild weather. Dilemma is when to prune. Very much hesitate to do now; don’t want to stimulate premature growth. What to do? Yvette You have nailed the question on the head with just three words: What to do? Without question, the No. 1 thing I see done wrong by the homeowner (and, unfortunately,

A growing concern Andrew May

many landscape companies) is pruning. It is also the No. 1 thing that I am called to consult on — and, for sure, it’s the task most people want to pay me to perform

on their property. Because our weather is mild

and cool, tolerant plants like roses never really go dormant, and for many of us, the buds slowly color up and without opening, slowly rot and mildew away. This is not “premature,” but here on the Peninsula, it’s quite normal for roses. I would go out now and strip away all leaves larger than a nickel in size. If you don’t do this, they will infect your roses with black spot and rust this spring and summer. I would not prune these now because as you so perfectly said, “don’t want to stimulate prema-

ture growth,” which would happen now. I would, however, deadhead only the flower buds as they slime away or pull off the petals and let the rose hips develop. The wildlife will thank you later for this. I would also clean away all debris, dead leaves, petals and old stems or branch pieces completely from the ground around the roses and apply new mulch, first adding a dosage of bone meal. This again will help prevent black spot and rust as well as stimulate and feed new

root production. The techniques of pruning your roses will come later and is an involved process demanding a knowledge of your roses’ type. Pruning your rose will be done, and I will write about it later — perhaps mid-February.

they’ve broken ID theft ring Peninsula Daily News news sources

OLYMPIA — An Olympia-area man has been arrested in a case in which more than 1,000 victims statewide had their driver’s licenses, credit cards and Social Security numbers stolen, according to the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office. Detectives served a search warrant at an Olympia home Thursday morning and arrested Anthony Eugene Vaughn, 30, on suspicion of 1,000 counts of second-degree identity theft and two counts of firstdegree identity theft. During a probable-cause hearing Friday, Thurston County Superior Court Judge Lisa Sutton ordered Vaughn held at the Thurston County jail with bail

set at $500,000. The case remained under investigation, and more arrests might be coming, sheriff’s Sgt. Jim Dunn said Friday. Detectives think Vaughn had accomplices who stole identification documents during car prowls and residential burglaries and that he used the documents to open fraudulent bank accounts in the victims’ names. He then would fill and quickly empty the bank accounts during online transactions, Dunn said. Vaughn also allegedly made withdrawals using stolen ATM cards and purchases with stolen credit cards. Some of those activities involved accomplices, court papers state. Vaughn and accomplices also made a large number

of illegal purchases using stolen and forged credit card accounts online, court papers state.

Death and Memorial Notice Lillian D. Lundgren February 18, 1922 January 4, 2011 In the early morning hours of January 4, 2011, our Lord came to take Lillian “home.” She was born on February 18, 1922, to Joseph and Josephine Blankschan of New Rochelle, New York, and had one sister, Ethel, who passed in 1998. On October 18, 1941, she married David Lundgren in the Bronx, New York. He was stationed there in the U.S. Coast Guard. Lil, as everyone called her, finished nursing school, and in 1943, they headed west to California “to grow oranges,” but instead settled in Port Angeles, which offered more relatives and opportunities. She was a nurse at the old Davidson and Hay Hospital and later one of the original nursing staff at the new Olympic Memorial Hospital, which

Mrs. Lundgren opened in 1951. She later worked for Dr. Kingsley Morrison for many years before retiring. She still continued to provide day care for many young children in the area until she was 80 years old. She said they “kept her young.” Lil was a superb cook and decorator for all occasions and put smiles on many faces. She is safely home in heaven now with her beloved Dave, who pre-

ceded her in death in 1966. She leaves behind her son, David Lundgren of Seattle, Washington; daughter, Carolyn Schmidt (Garry) of Gresham, Oregon; five grandchildren, Michael and Scott Wiley of Port Angeles, Mychell Vincent and Amber Benzler of Portland, Oregon, and Selena Torrens of Arizona; eight great-grandchildren and many nieces an nephews. A special thank you to nieces Judith Scott and Marilyn Adolphsen (and Glenn), sister-in-law Margaret Skroch and friend Pat Morrison for all the care they have given throughout the years. Lillian will be fondly remembered by all who knew her. May she rest in peace. Memorial services will be held Friday, February 4, 2011, at 3 p.m. at Harper-Ridgeview Funeral Chapel, 105 West Fourth Street, Port Angeles. In lieu of flowers, please make donation to your local hospice.

Packaging shrinks, prices don’t, as fuel costs increase Peninsula Daily News news services

WASHINGTON — Blaming everything from high oil prices to low temperatures, U.S. manufacturers are shrinking product sizes but not cutting prices, which amounts to a sneaky price hike, a new Consumer Reports magazine report said. Popular products like Tropicana orange juice, Ivory dishwashing soap and Kraft American cheese slices “are all playing the shrinking package game, and manufacturers are attributing it to rising costs for ingredients and energy,” according to Consumer Reports. When the magazine’s researchers asked manu-

Business

facturers why they have downsized some products, they blamed everything from pricier raw materials to last winter’s freeze in Florida (that was blamed for causing smaller cartons of orange juice).

Less pesto Heinz sauce unit Classico said it has cut the amount of pesto sold in glass jars from 10 ounces (283 grams) to 8.1 ounces (230 grams) because of rising fuel prices. Pints of Haagen-Dazs ice cream are no longer pints, following a weight loss diet that saw them fall from 16 to 14 ounces because of higher “ingredient and facility costs.”

The surreptitious price hikes are nothing new, the magazine said. It noted that in 2008, amid skyrocketing prices for oil which is used to make plastic, run many a production facility and transport finished products to supermarkets, Americans began noticing that their jars of mayonnaise, tubs of margarine and jugs of juice were shrinking significantly. Consumer also noticed, then as now, that prices were staying the same. As 2011 begins, with the price of gasoline at more than $3 a gallon, a historic high for this time of year, experts are warning U.S. consumers to expect more package-shrinkage as manufacturers try to mask

increases in raw materials’ and fuel costs by fiddling with product sizes. “Higher commodity and fuel costs are expected to result in a spike in food prices by as much as 3 percent in 2011,” said Consumer Reports Senior Editor Tod Marks. But because consumers are “more conscious of price than they are of package size or net weight of contents,” manufacturers are likely to downsize products rather than increase prices, said Edgar Dworsky, editor of the Mouseprint.org consumer advocacy website. Consumer Reports’ study found packing reductions of up to 20 percent. Turn

ou might say Lou and Keith sheeler opened their most recent Denture Clinic because they believe in treating all their children equally. The couple’s first clinic, located in Grants Pass, Oreg., opened in 1979 just after Keith graduated from the first ever Denturist class at Oregon state university. After 20 successful years in business, Keith promised his oldest son that he could buy the business if he got his denturist license. schooling in this highly specialized field includes three years of courses in anatomy, microbiology, physiology, pharmacology, pathology and denture laboratory technologies. A bit to Keith’s surprise, his son got busy going to school and took him up on the offer. “The little turkey, he did it,” Keith says. “i couldn’t go back on my word after that.” Although the sheelers were happy to keep the original business in the family, they weren’t yet ready to retire. They moved 300 miles away — so as not to be competition for their son — and opened their second denture clinic in Kelso, Wash. After that business was well established, the couple’s youngest daughter decided she wanted the same deal as her big brother. she too spent three years in school, received her bachelor’s of science degree, and bought her parents’ up-and-running business.

2 tankers in for repairs at same time Overseas Martinez, a 600-foot petroleum products carrier, is moored to the Port of Port Angeles’ T-Pier. Straits Marine and Industrial on Marine Drive has personnel aboard making piping modifications and performing routine maintenance in the engine room. The diesel-powered tanker has a 105-foot beam and can move nearly 14 million gallons of refined product through the water at about 14 knots. The ship, which was launched last April, was the ninth of 12 Veteran Class MT-46 tankers being built by Aker Philadelphia Shipyard and 13th overall to be built by Aker on the grounds of the former site of the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. The final three ships in the series will be completed by July of this year. Sadly, that could sound the death knell for the shipyard. With the slowdown in the economy, the shipyard has no backlog of orders — which will ultimately force it to shut down. The survival of the enterprise currently depends upon a plan that is afoot for the state of Pennsylvania to help provide funding that, coupled with private financing, would enable Aker to build two tankers on speculation that would be sold at a later date to a qualified buyer. Such a plan would keep the shipyard’s work force employed and give the company additional time to weather the economic storm that has roiled the nation for the last couple of years. Next door, at the port’s Terminal 1 North, another tanker, Sierra, moored last Tuesday. Washington Marine Repair, the topside repair facility on the waterfront, has personnel onboard fabricating saltwater strainers. According to Chandra “Hollywood” McGoff, personnel also are making deck repairs and repairing the anchor windlass on the 831-foot tanker. Island Tug and Barge of Seattle has a barge moored stern to Terminal 1 just forward of the ship’s bow, where personnel stowed four shots of the starboard side anchor chain and a new anchor while repairs were

being made to the windlass. The SeaRiver Maritime-owned vessel formerly named Kenai lost her starboard anchor and about 1,200 feet of anchor chain after leaving Valdez, Alaska.

Navy camels Platypus Marine in Port Angeles last week was awarded a government contract to assemble four barge camels that will be used by the Navy in Bremerton. A camel is maritime lingo for a float. In this case, the floats will be 60 feet long by 17 feet wide and have an undercarriage resembling a maze of pipes that extends 20 feet into the water to help stabilize the platform. The camels will be built by Maritime Industries in Broussard, La., and shipped by truck to Platypus Marine. The deck of each float will be shipped in one piece and the undercarriages, which consist of three pieces, will require a like number of trucks for shipment. When the pieces arrive at Platypus Marine’s facility, they will be offloaded by Jay Ketchum of Affordable Crane, which will also work with the manufacturer’s assembly team to put the four pieces of each 57-ton float together. According to Charlie Crane, director of sales and marketing for Platypus Marine, assembling the four barge camels should take about 10 days. Charlie said once they are all assembled, Joe Manke of Manke Tug and Barge of Tacoma will tow them en bloc to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. There in Bremerton, they will be used for various tasks, including platforms from which to perform maintenance and (no doubt) by aspiring boatswain’s mates to learn the finer points of painting the side of a ship.

The 600-foot Overseas Martinez and 831-foot Sierra are moored at Port of Port Angeles terminals Friday for topside repairs. Waterfront notes  Alaskan Legend, a 941foot crude oil tanker, was anchored in Port Angeles for most of Thursday. The tug, Scout, brought a load of fuel to her from the ConocoPhillips refinery in Ferndale. By late afternoon, the refueling process was complete, and by 6 p.m. the tanker was underway for Valdez, Alaska, for another 50 million-plus gallons of crude oil.  Dunlap Towing, the company that handles the waterborne log storage at the east end of Port Angeles Harbor, had two divers in the water last week at its boom grounds. I understand they were inspecting the chains and anchoring system that is attached to the buoys that Dunlap uses to tether their log booms.  The North Olympic Sail and Power Squadron will hold its monthly meeting on Monday at

the Cedars at Dungeness Golf Club, 1965 Woodcock Road northwest of Sequim. There will be a social hour at 5 p.m., and dinner will be served at 6 p.m. Anyone interested in boating is invited to attend. Dinner is $19 and reservations may be made by phoning Deta Stem at 360-684-9444.  Beginning Tuesday and for the next 10 weeks, the North Olympic Sail and Power Squadron is conducting a seminar on piloting. This detailed course explores coastal and inland navigation, chart reading and the use of GPS. The two hour course will be held in the recreation room at the Rainbow RV Park in Sequim and begin promptly at 1:30 p.m. The course fee is $48 for members and $95 for non-members.

What to do? It’s not easy to figure out which products have shrunk because relatively few package goods come in standard, recognizable sizes anymore — it’s hard to tell when one of them shrinks. Consumer Reports offers these tips for shoppers: n Look at multiple brands on the shelf and compare. Not all manufacturers downsize. Minute Maid still sells its orange juice in halfgallons, and Ben & Jerry’s packs its ice cream in pints. n Compare unit price. Always look at the pricing sticker on the shelf and review cost per ounce, per quart, per pound, per sheet, etc. Promotions change, making one size or another cheaper from week to week. n Try store brands when sizes are comparable. House brands are usually 25 to 30 percent cheaper than name brands and are often at least as good. n Stock up and save. Supermarkets sell staples such as paper goods, cereal, and soups at or below cost and rotate them regularly. Many items go on sale at predictable intervals, so

On Monday, Tesoro Petroleum provided bunkers to Overseas Long Beach and then the 600foot petroleum products tanker got under way for her namesake port. Tesoro on Wednesday refueled the 600-foot Overseas Nikiski and she is due in Valdez, Alaska, early Monday morning. On Thursday, Tesoro bunkered IVS Kestrel, a 580-foot bulk cargo ship bound for Portland, Ore. Then Friday, Tesoro bunkered Expander, a 620-foot, Panamanian-flagged bulk cargo ship.

stock up until the next sale. n Buy in bulk. Warehouse clubs may offer everyday low prices on large sizes or multipacks. But again, check the price per unit and be sure you are getting the best bargain. n Contact the company. Go online and complain. Call the consumer hot line number listed on the packaging when available — and complain. When Consumer Reports asked customer-service representatives why a product had been downsized, they often offered coupons as an apology.

CHICAGO — The first large study to examine the use of X-rays, CT scans and other medical radiation in children estimates the average child will get more than seven radiation scans by age 18, a potentially worrisome trend. Most of the scans involve X-rays, which use relatively little radiation. But there is growing concern about CT scans, which entail far more radiation and can raise the risk for cancer, particularly in children. The study was published last week in Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine and based on health-insurance data in five markets: Arizona; Dallas; Orlando, Fla.; South Florida; and Wisconsin. The records of 355,000 children were analyzed.

Leak shuts down Alaska Pipeline The Associated Press

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The company that runs the Trans Alaska Pipeline has shut down oil production after a leak was discovered at a North Slope pump station. Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. said the leak was dis-

covered Saturday and appeared to be from a section of piping encased in concrete next to Pump Station 1 — the first pump station on the 800-mile pipeline. The company said it was too early to tell how much oil has spilled, but it appeared to have been contained.

Should new senator be seated? Some Dems would deny ex-PT man Peninsula Daily News news sources

OLYMPIA — The state Senate appears headed toward a historic confrontation Monday when a group of Democrats plans to ask other senators not to seat a former Port Townsend man who is an incoming fellow Democrat. Sen. Jim Kastama, D-Puyallup, says he will introduce a resolution to deny a seat to Nick Harper, an Everett Democrat who unseated an incumbent in a heated and controversial August primary, then went on to win the general election. Kastama appears to have the support of at least four other Democrats, who could join with the GOP minority to deny Harper a seat. If so, it would be the first time

since 1941 that the state Senate declined to seat a senator, and it would narrow the Democrats’ 27-22 majority control as the state Legislature opens on Monday and begins grappling with a multibillion-dollar budget deficit. The seat could be left vacant. The issue hinges on a dirty — and allegedly illegal — campaign tactic used by the liberal Seattle political consulting group Moxie Media, which was hired by unions and trial lawyers to defeat moderate or conservative Democrats and replace them with liberals.

Incumbent was targeted Moxie Media successfully targeted incumbent Sen. Jean Berkey, D-Everett, with a widely denounced tactic of surreptitiously using money from those groups to create shell groups with names like “Conservative PAC” to attack Berkey for being too liberal. The attorney general has charged Moxie Media and its directors, Lisa MacLean and

Henry Underhill, with violating campaign-finance disclosure laws in trying to keep the true source of the funding from the public. That case is Harper pending in Thurston County. Kastama said a state Public Disclosure Commission investigative report shows the tactic influenced the August primary, which Berkey lost by 122 votes. “What makes this different from any other case is you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that an illegal action led to a faulty election,” said Kastama, who, like Berkey, is a political moderate. Kastama said his resolution is not about Harper, but about preserving “the integrity of the election and the integrity of the Senate.” Senate Majority Leader Lisa

Brown, D-Spokane, did not return a request for comment, but earlier this week she sent a letter to Minority Leader Mike Hewitt, R-Walla Walla, asking for the GOP to help seat Harper. “There is no question that altering the process of seating Senate members from a procedural act into a political one would set a dangerous precedent for the institution,” Brown wrote. Harper, who has not been accused of wrongdoing, said he “absolutely disavows” the tricks used by Moxie Media and feels his integrity is being unfairly attacked. He also cautioned that holding him accountable for the actions of a third-party group is a “dangerous precedent.” “I believe that if we’re going to use this as the new litmus test, we’d find ourselves a much smaller body and a much more dysfunctional one,” he said. On Friday, Berkey’s attorney asked a Thurston County Superior Court judge for permission to intervene in the attorney gener-

al’s case against Moxie Media as part of her bid to seek a new election in the 38th District, which includes Everett. In an interview, Berkey said the Senate should not seat Harper in order to give the attorney general more time to investigate the case.

PT High grad Harper, 31, is a graduate of Port Townsend High School. He is the son of Keith and Jeniell Harper of Port Townsend and the grandson of Gloria and the late Robert “Bob” Harper. Harper obtained a political science degree from the University of Washington and a law degree from Seattle University in 2004. He practiced law for two years, then became government affairs director for the Snohomish County–Camano Association of Realtors from 2006 to 2008. He is now the Snohomish County conservation director for the Seattle-based Cascade Land Conservancy.

a number of other education proposals in advance of the legislative session, including: n The plan to create a state Department of Education that would take over the duties handled by the voter-elected state school superintendent and other agencies, and establishing a secretary of education. n A renewed effort to allow Washington’s colleges and universities to set their own tuition rates, within a framework that considers state dollars going to education and the tuition rates at similar schools. n Another biennium without raises for teachers or money for class size reduction in the early grades, as well as a suspension of the $5,000 a year bonuses for nationally board certified teachers. n Across-the-board cuts in higher education totaling about $102 million, paired with a proposal for a new $1 billion scholarship fund supported by private and corporate donations. The governor, who has said she’s not even sure her budget is moral, is looking forward to a future time when the economy will turn around and the state can make up for the sacrifices teachers have made. “I am the state’s biggest proponent, bar none, of national board certified teachers, so if you think I took that cut lightly, I didn’t. I can’t stand having to take that,” Gregoire said.

OLYMPIA — The state’s outdoor agencies already are struggling to maintain services because of steep budget cuts in the past two years, and officials say the harsh spending reductions again facing the Legislature might make it close to impossible. They’re scrambling for any new revenue, from donations to higher license fees to charging for access to state land. To be determined is how the public will take that, and how the state might pull off a shotgun marriage of the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Department of Fish and Wildlife. “It’s going to be a lot of tough, tough decisions for legislators and everyone else involved,” said Fred Olson, chairman of the Fish and Wildlife Commission. “These are troubling times.” The legislative session that starts Monday faces a projected $4.6 billion deficit. In her proposed budget for the 2011-2013 spending period, Gov. Chris Gregoire says every state agency must share the pain. She’s called for cutting the number of agencies from 21 to nine. Among the largest consolidations would be Fish and Wildlife, Parks and

OLYMPIA — With cashstrapped schools struggling for scarce dollars this legislative session, a public fight that recently erupted between the governor and the schools chief could make things more complicated. With the Legislature set to convene Monday for a 105-day session, Gov. Chris Gregoire has essentially proposed replacing Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn with a new Secretary of Education. Gregoire’s proposal would bring control of all the state’s education departments and boards under one leadership structure. The governor said she is open to debating the superintendent’s future but her aim is accountability. “I’m not going to let that discussion get in the way of doing what I think is right, no more than I’m going to let the recession get in the way,” she said. Dorn called the governor’s proposal a smoke screen to distract attention from more pressing state issues. He said lawmakers should focus instead on putting a downpayment on the state’s plan to fully pay for basic education, to show the state Supreme Court they’re making an effort in advance of the court’s decision on a lawsuit against the state. “The most pressing issue

legislative committee focused on education reform want to pay for two reforms this year — the second year of a two-year pilot of new teacher and principal evaluation systems, and the full cost of transporting kids to and from school.

Pink slips for astronauts? The Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA may have to get rid of some of its astronauts. A cut to the astronaut corps is under review. NASA has 63 astronauts, all of whom have flown in space. It has nine astronaut trainees who are hoping for their first flights, but it has no launches planned from the United States after the space shuttle is retired later this year. After the Kennedy Space Center’s last two or three launches, a federal panel is considering whether the agency really needs more than 70 astronauts. The report, from the National Academy of Sciences, is expected to be complete in several months. Astronaut salaries range from $64,724 to $141,715 per year. In the past, astronauts had a chance to rocket to the moon and move onto Skylab and the shuttle, but now NASA has no other missions planned. Commercial launchers such as SpaceX are hoping to get into the human spaceflight business. If they do, it’s not clear if it would be NASA astronauts that would get to fly.

Verizon on verge of iPhone? GI ordered giant said to trial over Wireless to have 4G plans Afghan deaths The New York Times

The Associated Press

TACOMA — Staff Sgt. Calvin Gibbs will face trial in the killing of three Afghans and other crimes that could result in life imprisonment without parole, according to a decision by the Army commander at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. The decision by Lt. Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti, announced Friday, sets the stage for a high-profile Army prosecution of Gibbs. Gibbs is thought to be the ringleader of a group of rogue soldiers who allegedly killed three unarmed Afghans and then tried to stage the deaths to make them appear like legitimate battlefield casualties. In the fall, the Army held a pretrial hearing that enabled prosecutors to lay out their case to an investigating officer. Col. Thomas Malloy recommended one of the three murder charges be dropped because it could be difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. But Scaparrotti opted to press forward with all three murder charges for killing unarmed Afghans in January, February and May last year. During that time, Gibbs, a Montana native, was a squad leader with a platoon of the 5th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division. Other charges Gibbs will face include striking another

soldier, committing an assault with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy, unlawful threatening to injure another soldier, impeding an investigation and dereliction of duty.

Gruesome photos In related news, an Army court is refusing to order gruesome Afghan corpse photographs taken by some of the soldiers involved in the case be made public. Pfc. Andrew Holmes is one of four other soldiers from Joint Base LewisMcChord charged along with Gibbs in the deaths of the Afghan civilians. He filed a petition asking the Army Court of Criminal Appeals to allow him to present the sensitive photographs during a preliminary hearing in his case. Holmes’ attorney, Dan Conway, argues the photographs could help show the injuries one victim sustained were not caused by his client’s weapon. The Army is keeping a tight lid on the pictures because it fears they could cause a backlash among Afghan citizens. But Holmes’ attorney says that violates Holmes’ right to public legal proceedings. The court issued a twosentence order Friday and did not explain its reasoning.

SAN FRANCISCO — Verizon Wireless plans to announce on Tuesday that it will soon begin selling Apple’s iPhone 4, according to a person with direct knowledge of the plans. The long-expected arrival of the iPhone on Verizon will end years of exclusivity for AT&T and is likely to upend the smartphone market in the United States. It is not clear how soon after the announcement, which will be made in New York, the phone will be available for sale. On Friday afternoon, Verizon invited reporters to a news conference on Tuesday morning at Lincoln Center in Manhattan. The company did not say what it planned to announce, but given the timing less than a week after top Verizon executives gave a keynote speech at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, speculation in

tech circles was rampant that Verizon would announce that it would begin selling the iPhone. Verizon’s intentions to unveil an iPhone running on the company’s CDMA network early this year have long been known. The person with direct knowledge of the event, who declined to be named because plans for it were supposed to be confidential, said the company would do so at the Tuesday event, which will be headlined by Lowell McAdam, Verizon’s president. A spokesman for Verizon Wireless declined to comment. A spokeswoman for Apple also declined to comment.

Android phones While the iPhone remains the best-selling smartphone in the United States, many handset makers sell devices running Google’s Android software. Collectively, those devices outsell the iPhone. Consumer surveys suggest that demand for a Verizon iPhone would be large, as many people have held off from buying an iPhone simply to avoid AT&T’s much-publicized net-

Bracelets cool — but powerful? Firm admits no science behind pop wristbands By Amy Taxin

The Associated Press

SANTA ANA, Calif. — Shaquille O’Neal swears by them. The Power Balance bracelet, he says, gives him a competitive edge on the court. It’s no gimmick, he says. It’s for real. It may be for him, but Australian authorities say the California-based company behind the wildly popular wristbands and pendants has no business claiming that they improve balance, strength and flexibility. And they even got Power Balance to admit it. The company wrote: “We admit that there is no credible scientific evidence that supports our claims.” It also agreed to give refunds to customers who believe they were cheated. The company’s admission, however, hopped across the globe since its agreement with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission was announced on Dec. 22. It was an answer to what many who saw the ads wondered: Do the colorful sili-

work problems, which include spotty coverage and dropped calls. A Verizon iPhone could help sell millions of new devices, continuing the iPhone’s strong momentum. It may also become an obstacle to the rapid rise of Android devices, most of which are sold by Verizon Wireless. “It will significantly shift the power again toward Apple,” said Roger Entner, a telecommunications industry analyst with Recon Analytics. Entner said that in other countries where the iPhone added new carriers, including Britain, Apple’s market share rose sharply. “Apple will significantly blunt the growth of Android,” he said. Any shift toward the iPhone could be slowed by long-term contracts that may keep some customers from switching. Customers “will not switch the first day,” said Charles Wolf, an analyst with Needham & Company. “It is going to take two years before everyone is out of a contract, but the shift will be dramatic,” Wolf said.

Fans insist the bands have helped their game. “Our trainers swear by it,” Phoenix Suns forward Jared Dudley wrote in a message posted on his Twitter page. The company began selling bracelets in 2007 embedded with holograms that were purportedly designed to interact with the body’s natural energy flow. Since then, the colorful wristbands, which sell for $29.95, have become ubiquitous, donned by Los Angeles Lakers’ Lamar Odom and English celebrity soccer star David Beckham. They have also been worn by celebrities, including actors Robert De Niro and Gerard Butler. The company sold $8,000 of merchandise in its first year and expects more than $35 million in sales in 2010. Power Balance, for its part, doesn’t claim to have science on its side, said Adam Selwyn, a spokesman for the Laguna Niguel, Calif.-based company. Rather, it relies on testimonials from famous athletes and users to tout the products’ effects.

The company says it pays some athletes for the right to use their images wearing the bracelets, including O’Neal and Odom. Josh Rodarmel, one of the company’s co-founders, said in a statement he knows there may be skeptics. “We’re not trying to win over every person in the world,” he said. Ralph Reiff, program director at St. Vincent Sports Performance in Indianapolis, said maybe a third of the hundreds of professional and amateur athletes who train there wear the wristband or an imitation. The program even thought about putting its logo on the products and handing them out, he said. But officials decided against that because they couldn’t find enough reliable research to back up the company’s claims about giving a biological boost to performance, he said. “I couldn’t look in the mirror and 100 percent say [it’s] a product I can put my brand reputation behind,” said Reiff, a certified athletic trainer.

PDN lauds top employees of 2010 Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — Sharon Scott has been selected as the Peninsula Daily News/Sequim This Week Employee of the Year for 2010. Scott, accounts payable supervisor, was picked in a unanimous vote by the PDN’s department heads. She received the award at the newspaper’s annual holiday party for its employees in Port Angeles, Sequim and Port Townsend. Peninsula Daily News is one of the largest employers in Jefferson and Clallam counties, with 104 full-time and part-time employees. It also publishes Sequim This Week, a free weekly newspaper delivered by mail to readers in the Sequim ZIP code. “Sharon Scott inspires respect and appreciation because of her values and her work ethic,” said John Brewer, PDN publisher and editor. “She is efficient and committed — traits that every company desires and appreciates.” Other 2010 PDN award winners:

Blackbird showers air out conspiracy theories By Jeannie Nuss

The Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — The moon turns blood red (due to an eclipse). The earth shakes. Soldiers die in wars. And the world keeps spinning, even though these events fit neatly into apocalyptic predictions. So why, when swarms of winged creatures hit the dirt in Arkansas and elsewhere, do some indulge their inner conspiracy theorists and believe more than ever that the end of days is near? “There’s no prophecy in the Bible about the birds falling from the sky,” said Bart D. Ehrman, a religious studies professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He sometimes teaches a class called “Apocalypse Now and Then.” But scientific debunking hasn’t

stopped the speculation since thousands of blackbirds rained down on a small town in Arkansas on New Year’s Eve. It was the first in a series of mass animal deaths that started less than two weeks after a total lunar eclipse. Hundreds more dead birds have descended on Louisiana, Tennessee and Kentucky, and scores of crow-like birds croaked in Sweden. Add in 100,000 fish that washed ashore in Arkansas, and you’ve got the making of more than a few doomsday scenarios. People are airing their suspicions online, making “birds fall from sky” and “birds and fish dying” top Google search suggestions. The talk isn’t limited to speculation the world is ending. Some guess it was a UFO. Or it was the government. Or it was a

government-controlled UFO. Scientists have chalked up the deaths of some 5,000 red-winged blackbirds in Beebe, Ark., to celebratory fireworks. They say the loud cracks and booms likely sent the birds into such a tizzy that they crashed into homes, cars and each other before plummeting to their deaths. Mass wildlife deaths like the bird drop-offs in the South are quite common. And it’s not a biological big deal because red-winged blackbirds are among North America’s most abundant birds, with somewhere between 100 million and 200 million across the U.S. “I think it’s safe to say that there was no secret conspiracy by anyone,” said Thurman Booth, a wildlife services director in the state where events kick-started the falling foul trend. “It is not the beginning of the

apocalypse. “It was not nerve gas. It was not poison. I mean, all these things have been seriously proposed by people all over the world.” Meanwhile, cable networks have called on pundits and celebrities to weigh in. “Some people think it’s biblical and apocalyptic, and it could be,” said Robert Vicino, who heads a California-based company called Vivos that specializes in underground, nuke-proof bunkers. (They’re complete with access to treadmills, theaters and libraries.) The number of applications for those pricey pods of safety has increased eight-fold since the birds fell out of the sky, Vicino said. “You know, I’m not the religiousconspiracy-theorist go-to guy, particularly,” Kirk Cameron of “Growing Pains” fame told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

“But I think it’s really kind of silly to try to equate birds falling out of the sky with some kind of an end-times theory.” The level of fascination may be new, but birds being seen as augurs is not. The ancient Romans thought of birds much like tea leaves in a divination class at Hogwarts. They could reveal the future, if interpreted correctly. As a large flock of starlings would fly through the sky like a school of fish, a bird reader called an auspice would translate its movements into terms of things to come, said Douglas Jacobsen, a professor of church history and theology at Messiah College in Grantham, Pa. Romans also caught a few lowfliers to slice open and read their entrails. “People look to birds,” Jacobsen said.

Anyone having any objection to the sale on any grounds whatsoever will be afforded an opportunity to be heard as to those objections if they bring a lawsuit to restrain the sale pursuant to RCW 61.24.130.

Dear Caught: A lie is a lie. Whether told innocently or not, it still does damage to your credibility. When two people have had an intimate relationship, it is hard to tell your current girlfriend that there is nothing more than an “emotional connection” between the two of you. All relationships involve a degree of compromise. Clearly, your current girlfriend was uncomfortable about the possibility of reconnecting with your ex. And that, truth be told, is what caused this deception to occur in the first place. You can no longer have this both ways. Either tell your girlfriend the truth — you did mislead her and that you mean it now when you tell her that you won’t be “seeing your ex” — or do her and yourself the favor of moving on by simply saying that you cannot promise that you won’t reconnect with your ex on occasion.

tion! I, too, grow tired of the New Year’s hype, which often ends in a whimper before the first month of the year has ended. Here’s the short answer: Diets don’t work, but lifestyle changes can happen. In other words, if you look at weight loss as a detour around your usual diet, you’re bound to return to the same foods and habits that caused the problem in the first place. Only changing how you eat and how you exercise will break the frustrating cycle of weight lost and weight gained.

hear their parents express negative emotions, they sense a degree of responsibility and a great desire to resolve their parents’ problems. And if they can’t solve the problem, they at least take ownership of their parents’ woes. This need — to carry and manage a parent’s negative emotions — can numb a child into ignoring his or her own feelings. Plus, these children are most likely to pull away emotionally from their parents and will stop communicating for long periods of time. Instinctively, they seek to protect themselves Divorce’s impact against their parent’s woes.

Ask teacher about her goals for class IS IT POSSIBLE to go overboard with too many academic requirements in second grade? Our 7-year-old twins’ teacher took maternity leave for two months, and now they have a new teacher who feels the entire class is academically behind. My son and daughter loved school until this change occurred, and now it’s a huge hassle to even get them up in the mornings. How can we research or compare what other second-graders are doing in various schools?

If she is a good, wellorganized individual, she will be able to pull it off, and they will be better prepared for the rest of the year. — M.R. Reyonlds in St. Louis

From Jodie The easiest way to make heads and tails of the situation is to approach the teacher in a sincere, calm and appreciative manner and ask her why she feels the class is behind. Request she personally show you what resources she is using to gauge this. Most teachers are happy to share this information with the parents and anyone else who may be interested, such as the principal. Ask if she is concerned about the entire class or only specific individuals. Turn

So, when she went to a St. Rita high school benefit last January and saw him, it was the first time in 30 years. She didn’t recognize him. “The last time I saw Jim he had long, feathered hair and a very hot bod,” Anna said. “Jim was a stud in high school. He was standing with another man and

This week’s question: What is the trait you most appreciate in a man?

“Honesty. You definitely need that in a man because honesty leads to trust. My husband does that. Trust is something that grows over time as you have faith with your partner, and honesty is a part of that.”

“A sense of humor. One of the qualities I found the best in my husband when I married him was his sense of humor. He even made my father laugh. As you get older, you need to keep your sense of humor. Sometimes with the way things go, as our lives get busier, we often forget to laugh and have a sense of humor. I need to laugh more often.”

“When they are caring for others and not just thinking of themselves. Some never share, and they should. I like it when they do good deeds. Like when they see someone else broke down on the road, they will stop and help. Caring is important in a man.”

in the face of fear Mom uses worry over son’s football injury to help other parents

By Diane Urbani for

Peninsula Woman

ean Rickerson and her 17-year-old son, Drew, have proven themselves to be a tough pair. Rickerson has faced some of the scariest things that can befall a parent, starting on the night of Nov. 7, 2008. Drew, Sequim High School’s star quarterback, was “speared” on the football field: He took a direct and hard hit from an opponent. Then he continued to play, and in the next 15 minutes threw a touchdown pass and scored a touchdown himself. But Rickerson, watching from the stands, covered her mouth with her hand as her son ran across the field in a way she had never seen before. When Drew finally took himself out of the game and sat on the bench, she kept her binoculars on him, saw him pour water over his shoulder, and thought he was trying to cool himself off. When the game ended, she went down onto the field. “He turned and looked at me, and my knees buckled,” Rickerson recalls. “His face was completely vacant.”

She learned that he’d been trying to drink water, but couldn’t manage to pour it into his mouth. She asked Drew, her 6-foot-1, 170pound paragon of fitness, what was wrong; he couldn’t tell her. It turned out he had suffered a concussion — a violent jarring of the brain against the skull. Before the night was over, Drew lost both his hearing and his eyesight.

Told to rest The teen was then told to “rest at home.” Which he did; Drew slept all weekend, waking only to eat. Each time he opened his eyes, he saw stars. Come Monday, Rickerson and her husband, Rick, brought Drew to the family doctor, who said he could “return to play when able.” Then the Rickersons watched their

Rickerson: Website set up to assist others Continued from 5

Jean Rickerson has mounted a national campaign for youth sports concussion awareness from her home outside Sequim. She’s launching an expanded Sports Concussion News Network — www. SportsCNN.com — this month.

With help from Herring, Rickerson gathered information and research from the Centers for Disease Control and from universities across the United States and established www.SportsConcussions. org, a touchstone for parents, coaches and emergency medical workers. Rickerson called herself naive, however, for thinking concussion danger was limited to football.

Then she ran into Rickerson at Costco. “We had a tearful conversation,” O’Neil said; not long after, Rickerson referred her to Herring in Seattle. Chase has since recovered.

Drew, meantime, has been fortunate; his injury healed, and he was cleared to rejoin the Sequim Wolves in September 2009. But his mother knew too much to feel as good. Though she had come a long way from not wanting Drew to ride in a car lest a bump in the road reinjure his brain, she’d also learned that football helmets don’t prevent concussions, that not all “minor” hits are harmless, and that many concussions go undetected.

Hardest thing Letting her son play football again “was the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” she said. “But I didn’t want to let my fear change his path.” She wanted him to pursue his passion, to use his gifts, which are prodigious. During his career as the Wolves’ quarterback, Drew was sixth in Washington state’s high school football rankings, having passed for 4,847 yards and 52 touchdowns. Turn
