So they are providing an alternative to the madness, offering people a chance to stay home with their families Friday and instead devote Saturday to holiday shopping at local sales. “We want to get people to shop locally and have a great experience,” said Port Townsend Main Street Executive Director Mari Mullen. “We have lots of great small businesses, where people can find things that they can’t get everywhere else. “Everything they buy here is unique, and has been picked out by the merchant.” On Saturday, 36 downtown merchants will participate in an open house, offering sales and special promotions. The celebration is tied to “Small Business Saturday,” which is occurring nationwide and sponsored by individual Main Street Programs as a way to promote local businesses.

They named their new son Benjamin. The 8-pound, 3-ounce boy was born at an undisclosed Florida hospital. Spokeswoman Samantha Mast said in a statement late Tuesday that the couple and their daughter, Ella Bleu, “are ecstatic and very happy about the newest member of the family.” The statement said Preston and baby Benjamin “are healthy and doing beautifully.” This is the third child for Travolta and Preston, who were married in 1991.

The cause of death wasn’t known, though Steffanie Pitt said her mother had Mrs. Pitt recently in 1968 been in poor health. Known in Britain principally as the buxom bloodsucker in “Vampire Lovers” and “Countess Dracula,” Mrs. Pitt’s acting career very nearly wasn’t.

In a twist that easily surpassed the drama of the camp horror films in which she starred, she was rescued by an American soldier who would go on to become her husband. Although Mrs. Pitt had a series of other roles in film and on television, it was her 1970s vampire films that drew a cult following, with fans crowning her “England’s first lady of horror.” Mrs. Pitt embraced it, writing occasional columns for websites such as “Den of Geek” and making frequent visits to conventions and festivals.

HUGH PRATHER, 72, a self-help author whose first book, Notes to Myself, put an aphoristic finger on the pulse of the ’70s, has sold more than 5 million copies and inspired the long-running “Saturday Night Live” segment “Deep Thoughts,” died Nov. 15 at his home in Tucson, Ariz. Mr. Prather died in his hot tub, apparently of a

heart attack, his wife, Gayle, said. First published in 1970, Notes to Myself was never intended as a commercial book. It began as Mr. Prather’s journal, a set of private musings, some telegraphic, others longer, on the nature of life, death, love and much else. While Notes to Myself was hardly the first selfhelp book on the market (such books go back at least to the 19th century), it permeated the culture as few had before. Notes to Myself was spoofed by the comedy writer Jack Handey as a set of public musings known as “Deep Thoughts.” First published in National Lampoon, “Deep Thoughts” became a recurring feature on “Saturday Night Live” in the 1990s and was released as a series of books.

1935 (75 years ago) J. Lloyd Aldwell, 69, Port Angeles business and civic leader — and for many years head of the Republican Party organization in Clallam County — died after an illness of three weeks. After coming to Port Angeles from Toronto 36 years ago, the Wales-born Aldwell established a woodworking plant and then ran a real estate and insurance business. He was one of the founders of the Port Angeles Kiwanis Club and served as its first president. Surviving is his brother, Thomas T. Aldwell, also a businessman, real estate entrepreneur and civic leader who is namesake of the lake behind the Elwha River dam he had built in 1910-13.

1960 (50 years ago) “Unity and good will among man can only come about by unity of faith and trust in God, the Rev. David Wold told nearly 900 delegates and visitors to the Luther League convention in Wold’s keynote speech in the Port Angeles

High School auditorium. “Youth today must be sure that their Christian faith is as relevant as the disc jockey’s ‘pick of the week’ on radio, if they will develop into the Christian manhood and womanhood that tomorrow’s world will require.” [Wold eventually became bishop of the Southwest Washington Synod.]

1985 (25 years ago) More snow fell today from Forks to Port Townsend, keeping schools and businesses closed in the grip of the worst snows in years. More snow is forecast tonight and tomorrow before a warming trend into the 40s begins at the end of the week. Road conditions were “poor and getting worse,” said a Washington State Patrol dispatcher. Both KAPY and KNOP radio stations in Port Angeles said they will not answer their phones in the morning for the next several days because they have been swamped with calls about closures, making it difficult for the disc jockeys to do their jobs.

Jury convicts DeLay for money laundering By Juan A. Lozano The Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas — Former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay — once one of the most powerful and feared Republicans in Congress — was convicted Wednesday on charges he illegally funneled corporate money to Texas candidates in 2002. Jurors deliberated for 19 hours before returning guilty verdicts against DeLay on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laun- DeLay dering. He faces up to life in prison on the money laundering charge. After the verdicts were read, DeLay hugged his daughter, Danielle, and his wife, Christine. His lead attorney, Dick

DeGuerin, said they planned to appeal the verdict. “This is an abuse of power. “It’s a miscarriage of justice, and I still maintain that I am innocent. “The criminalization of politics undermines our very system, and I’m very disappointed in the outcome,” DeLay told reporters outside the courtroom.

Free on bond for now He remains free on bond, and his sentencing was tentatively set to begin Dec. 20. Prosecutors said DeLay, who once held the No. 2 job in the House of Representatives and whose heavy-handed style earned him the nickname “the Hammer,” used his political action committee to illegally channel $190,000 in corporate donations into 2002 Texas legislative races through a

money swap. DeLay and his attorneys maintained the former Houston-area congressman did nothing wrong as no corporate funds went to Texas candidates and the money swap was legal. The verdict came after a threeweek trial in which prosecutors presented more than 30 witnesses and volumes of e-mails and other documents. DeLay’s attorneys presented five witnesses. Prosecutors said DeLay conspired with two associates, John Colyandro and Jim Ellis, to use his Texas-based PAC to send $190,000 in corporate money to an arm of the Washington-based Republican National Committee, or RNC. The RNC then sent the same amount to seven Texas House candidates. Under Texas law, corporate money can’t go directly to political campaigns.

police over education cuts. Amid it all, analysts were deeply skeptical about the future — saying even the desperate efforts of governments, the European Union and the International Monetary might not be enough to prevent countries from defaulting or banks from going under. The Irish Stock Exchange saw a bloodbath in bank stocks as investors pushed the panic button and bond traders were betting that it would only be a matter of time before Portugal and possibly Spain would be the next countries begging for outside help.

BEIJING — When North Korea tested a nuclear device last year, China issued bland criticism and urged Pyongyang to resume diplomacy. After a South Korean navy ship was sunk, most likely by a North Korean torpedo, Beijing sent its sympathies but called the evidence inconclusive. Now that North Korea has unleashed an artillery barrage on a South Korean island that killed four people — including two civilians — and raised tensions in the heavily armed region, Beijing again appears unwilling to rein in its neighbor. For all China’s growing international might, its tolerance of North Korea’s wayward behavior shows how differently Beijing sees the world — or at least its corner of it. “There is zero chance of China, either in open or in private, putting major substantive pressure on North Korea,” said Shi Yinhong, professor of international relations at Beijing’s Renmin University.

Government cracks down on synthetic marijuana DEA seeks to outlaw 5 chemicals coated on smokeable plant leaves By Alicia A. Caldwell The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Cracking down on fake pot, the government began emergency action Wednesday to outlaw five chemicals used in herbal blends to make synthetic marijuana. They’re sold in drug paraphernalia shops and on the Internet to a burgeoning market of teens and young adults. The Drug Enforcement Administration responded to the latest designer drug fad by launching a 30-day process to put these chemicals in the same drug category as heroin and cocaine. The agency acted after receiving increasing numbers of bad reports — including seizures, hallucinations and dependency — from poison centers, hospitals and law enforcement. It was the fastest action the agency could take to get these products off the legal market. DEA spokeswoman Barbara Carreno said makers of fake pot blends like Spice, K2, Blaze, and

Quick Read

Red X Dawn label the mixtures as incense to try to hide their intended purpose. Meantime, there were indications the producers were already moving to reformulate their products using chemicals not covered by the impending ban. The fake pot — smokeable plant leaves coated with chemicals — has been the target of lawmakers and law enforcement around the country.

States ban some chemicals At least 15 states have moved to regulate or ban one or more of the chemicals, as have some European and Scandinavian countries. The man who created three of the chemicals as part of his government-sponsored research nearly 20 years ago said, “They are dangerous, and anyone who uses them is stupid.” John W. Huffman, a retired organic chemistry researcher from Clemson University, said in

a telephone interview from his Sylva, N.C., home, “They seem to be pretty toxic.” He said the reported medical problems have included overdoses, cases of addiction and even suicide. As of Sept. 27, the American Association of Poison Control Centers had reported receiving more than 1,500 calls from 48 states and the District of Columbia about products spiked with these drugs, the Drug Enforcement Administration said. The DEA first became aware of the new designer drugs in November 2008 when the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency analyzed “Spice.” Sometimes the chemicals are produced abroad and shipped into the United States; earlier this year, Customs seized a more than 110-pound load of two of the chemicals. White House Drug Policy Director Gil Kerlikowske said that with youth drug use rising, “it is critical that parents act today to talk to young people about the harms of drug use, including synthetic marijuana products like Spice and K2 that are marketed as ‘incense.”’

Firefighters who were called to rescue someone from the Los Angeles River found themselves retrieving a real dummy. Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott said a 9-1-1 call sent firefighters to a section of the concrete channel in the San Fernando Valley on Wednesday. But rescuers didn’t find a flailing swimmer. They actually spotted a mannequin similar to those used as CPR training devices. Scott said a helicopter and a swiftwater rescue team were dispatched. The chopper wasn’t needed, but the firefighters waded into the water and retrieved the dummy so it wouldn’t prompt other calls.

They face mandatory life terms at a sentencing hearing set for March 14 in Norfolk, Va. Attorneys for the five said they didn’t fully grasp the trial, the charges or the verdict.

Only one of about 140 Chinese activists invited by the wife of jailed Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo has confirmed he will attend the prize ceremony in Oslo, according to an organizer of the guest list. Others have been stopped from leaving China or placed under tight surveillance amid a crackdown on dissenters following the prize announcement, several activists told The Associated Press. Nobel officials said last week that none of Liu’s relatives were expected to travel to Oslo to collect the prize on Liu’s behalf. But his wife, Liu Xia, had invited scores of activists and luminaries to attend the Dec. 10 ceremony.

Blood center issues plea for donations amid slump Peninsula Daily News

Snow and ice have curtailed donations to the Puget Sound Blood Center, which serves 14 counties including Clallam and Jefferson, and Western Washington’s blood supply could reach an emergency level within a matter of days. Michael Young, spokesman for the Seattle-based center, issued a plea for more donations Tuesday. Blood drives are scheduled in both Port Angeles and Port Townsend on Friday.

The Port Angeles drive will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Albertsons parking lot, 114 E. Lauridsen Blvd. The Port Townsend drive will be from noon to 3 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Port Townsend Elks Lodge, 555 Otto St. The next drive in Sequim will be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 1:45 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday at the Sequim Elks Lodge, 143 Port Williams Road. No other drives are planned within the next week on the North

Olympic Peninsula. Many blood drives were canceled because of the icy road conditions, and the center has missed hundreds of donations, Young said. “With more inclement weather forecast, we can expect to lose hundreds more in the next few days,” he said, adding that it takes more than 900 donor registrations every day to maintain an operational blood supply in Nash’s Organic Produce Western Washington.

SEQUIM — In celebration of the local harvest that’s filling Thanksgiving tables across the North Olympic Peninsula, Nash’s Farm Store has a brightly colored display highlighting relationships among the people who grow, make and bake local foods. The display, an expression of gratitude for the growers, is at Nash’s, 1873 E. Anderson Road, through early December. It’s designed to show visitors who local farmers are and to share their stories, said Patty McManusHuber, co-owner of Nash’s Organic Produce, the Dungeness farming operation

that runs the store. The handmade exhibit by Doug and Beverly Goldie of Blyn and Margie Diffner of Sequim features a map of the bio-region, with photos of and interviews with its small-scale food producers. This network of growers stretches across the Olympic Peninsula and extends throughout the Northwest, McManus-Huber added. “Local Sequim-based businesses are at the heart of it all, including Barbolian Fields, Bell Street Bakery, Botanical Touch, Burkhardt’s Herb Garden, Charlie Marr, Fairaview Farm, Green Weave Farm, Kol Simcha Farm, Miss Bee Haven, Practical Plants and Sailing ‘S’ Orchards,” she said.

Sequim seeks to rebrand aging logo By Jeff Chew

Peninsula Daily News

SEQUIM — City leaders are calling all artists, designers and graphic design businesses to help redesign Sequim’s aging logo, an effort to rebrand and improve the marketing of the community’s tourism and other business assets. “To me, it’s all part of freshening up and making our website more functional and promoting tourism,” said Mayor Ken Hays, who described the existing 25-year-old logo as visually “a little weak in today’s highly graphic world.”

Proposals until Dec. 16 The city will accept proposals from artists, designers and graphic design businesses until 5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 16. A motto might be considered to go along with the logo, and the city plans to also upgrade the city’s website, making it more functional and up-to-date in today’s technology, the mayor said. Barbara Hanna, who was hired two months ago as the city’s communications and

marketing manager, said of the logo: “I think the general feeling is, it’s a bit outdated.” With the Police Department having its own logo, Hanna said the intention was to unify the entire city under one new logo for marketing and branding. “With the digital age, we can go color now predominantly,” she said, adding the existing logo is more of a line graphic in black and white, which was good in its day. Once applications are in, Hanna said, a review committee will look over the proposals “for the overall style we like.” Artists and designers will be allowed to work with city representatives including Hanna to come up with a design. The logo is expected to be used on all materials produced by and for the city including signage, printed materials, advertisements, products, the website, e-mails, letterhead and any other selected city materials. The logo will be designed so that it can officially represent the city of Sequim and serve as an icon for tourism marketing. The logo must be designed

so that it is able to be trademarked or copyrighted. Those interested should submit examples of prior logo work and a quote for the cost of creating the logo. “The logo is a critical element of establishing an image for the city of Sequim,” the request for proposals says. “The logo must, at a glance, give the city a distinct and easily identifiable identity. It must transition between signage, print and online media, and it must stand out from other logos as unique.” The request for proposal is posted on Sequim’s city website at www.ci.sequim. wa.us, or it can be picked up at City Hall, 152 W. Cedar St., or the Public Works Building, 615 N. 5th Ave. Submissions can be e-mailed to bhanna@ci. sequim.wa.us. For general questions, phone Hanna at 360-6813422.

For 2nd year, award for Stevens’ principal Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — Chuck Lisk, principal of Stevens Middle School, is the Olympic Region Principal of the Year for the second consecutive year. “The contributions you have made to your school, your students and to your community are Lisk noteworthy and deserving of recognition,” Randy Heath, president of the Association, said in a letter to Lisk.

“The responsibilities of principals are many and significant, but too often go unrecognized,” Heath said. Lisk, along with the 14 other Regional Distinguished Principals, now is a nominee for the Washington State Middle Level Principal of the Year award, which will be announced in January. The Association of Washington Middle Level Principals annually requests nominations for the Principal of the Year award. Lisk won the regional award in 2009. Lisk was nominated this

year by Patti Fouts, principal of Forks Middle School. Lisk has worked for the Port Angeles School District as Stevens’ principal for 14 years and has worked in education for 28 years. “We are extremely proud of Chuck for the work he is doing with our middle school students and staff,” said Superintendent of Port Angeles Schools Jane Pryne in a statement. “This is truly an honor he’s received, and we are very excited for the honor it brings to Stevens Middle School and our district,” Pryne said.

CHELAN — The Clallam County Sheriff ’s Department has won a Circle of Honor award for Special Olympics law enforcement fundraising efforts that involved several agencies on the North Olympic Peninsula. Law enforcement agencies across the Peninsula raised more than $5,000 for Special Olympics, said Ron Cameron, chief criminal deputy with the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, an organizer for Special Olympics fundraising. The award was given recently at the semiannual Washington Sheriffs and Police Chiefs Association Conference in Chelan. During the conference, the organization that facilitates the Special Olympics of Washington program recognized law enforcement agencies throughout the state that have contributed to the program this year. Although the Sheriff’s Office received the award, the program included participants from the Port Angeles, Sequim and Port Townsend police departments; the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office; the Coast Guard; State Patrol; the Department of Corrections; U.S. Border Patrol; and the National Park Service. Events included the torch run — where area officers carried the torch from Laird’s Corner in Port Angeles to the Kitsap County side of the Hood Canal Bridge in one day — a pancake breakfast and the Sequim Applebee’s Tip A Cop, where proceeds were given to the program. At the Tip A Cop event in September, officers raised $2,504, the second highest amount at an Applebee’s for Special Olympics in the state, Cameron said. Lakewood Police Department raised more money, he said, though he didn’t know the exact amount. About five other Circle of Honor awards were pre-

sented, Cameron said, and bronze, silver and gold medals were given to agencies — such as the Kennewick Police Department, which raised more than $50,000 —

Jefferson starts emergency blog; Clallam mulls idea By Leah Leach

Peninsula Daily News

A new blog gives Jefferson County residents updated information on weather conditions, roads and power outages — and Clallam County emergency management officials are considering adding such a service. The blog at www. emergency-information. blogspot.com is the Jefferson County Department of Emergency Management’s newest addition to its “community toolbox” to keep residents knowledgeable about severe weather and other emergencies, said Bob Hamlin, program manager. The blog went up for the first time Tuesday. It will be activated only during emergencies. “We were getting so many hits on our website, we decided to go to a blog format,” Hamlin said. “We try to keep it to what’s going on locally.” The blog is in addition to

the department’s website at www.jeffcoeoc.org, alerts posted through Nixle and “situation report” e-mails sent to about 140 neighborhood preparedness groups organized through Local 20/20, a group working for sustainability — an effort that eventually reaches perhaps as many as 5,000 families, Hamlin said.

the activation. Clallam County doesn’t have an emergency blog, but officials are considering it in the future, said Undersheriff Ron Peregrin, head of emergency management operations. “We’re looking at a blog,” he said Wednesday. “Our [information technology] folks are looking at it.”

Weather, news posted

The website “is a little cumbersome,” Hamlin said. “When we get real busy in the emergency operations center, we’re not getting information up in a timely way.” The county activated its 24-hour emergency operations center — or EOC — on Monday, as a snowstorm pushed farther into the North Olympic Peninsula, and planned to run it through Wednesday, Hamlin said. “I think it’s winding down,” he said of the snow and cold that prompted

Clallam County emergency management personnel post weather, news and tips on its website at www. clallam.net/Emergency Management and send e-mail notices to people who signed up in the county block watch program through CrimeNet at www. CrimeNet.org, Peregrin said. They also post alerts to Nixle, a free service. Nixle registrations can define the geographic area of interest so that it isn’t necessary to get unwanted information, Peregrin said.

To sign up for Nixle, visit www.nixle.com. Clallam County didn’t activate its emergency operations center this week, Peregrin said. “We discussed whether we should call people in,” he said, “but all we had were some bad road conditions and people going home to hunker down. “It wasn‘t what we considered a real emergency yet,” he added, referring to Kitsap County’s situation with blocked roads and some 50,000 people without electrical power. Outages in Clallam County were spotty, and though driving was tricky, no bad wrecks were reported. “It only takes two trees to cut off the West End,” Peregrin said. “We didn’t see that developing here. We were very, very fortunate.” However, if the situation changes, the EOC — which is run primarily by volun-

teers — can be up and running in 30 minutes, Peregrin said. Emergency personnel monitor a state emergency website, National Weather Service reports and the volume of calls into the PenCom dispatch center. “We’re monitoring it minute by minute,” Peregrin said.

But for now, all seems relatively calm, if not idyllic. “While the worst of this weather front appears to be over, the roads are still icy, and there are still spotty power outages,” Hamlin said. “We frequently get windy, blustery conditions here on the Peninsula that cause widespread power outages. “The best defense is preparation,” Hamlin said, which means having “sufficient water for each family member, nonperishable food supplies, blankets, flashlights, nonelectric means of preparing food such as a camp stove and other personal items to meet your immediate needs.”

While Clallam County personnel are considering an emergency blog, Jefferson County workers are working with two radio stations that are expected to be on the air soon, Hamlin said. KPTZ at 91.9 FM is slated to broadcast beginning later this winter, while KROH at 91.1 FM, a Christian radio station, is scheduled to be on the air by the ________ spring. “We’re working with the Managing Editor/News Leah two new radio stations to do Leach can be reached at 360-417direct broadcasts from the 3531 or at leah.leach@peninsula emergency operations cen- dailynews.com.

Transition day of snow to rain seen Peninsula Daily News

Warmer temperatures today should send the snow dripping away. The lowland areas of the North Olympic Peninsula were dusted with snow Wednesday morning, and some areas at higher elevations may have had about 1 or 2 inches, said Johnny Burg, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Seattle. A rain and snow mix was expected this morning throughout the Peninsula but with little accumulation of snow, he said. “By the afternoon, it will change to rain,” Burg said. “[Today] is a transition day, starting out with snow and then moving to rain.” The National Weather Service reported that Port Townsend, Chimacum and Port Hadlock areas each received about 4 inches of snow Monday and Tuesday. Total snow accumulations during the storm were reported as 13 inches five miles southwest of Sequim, 11 inches near the Lower Elwha Klallam tribal reservation, 9.7 inches just southwest of Port Angeles, 7.6 inches at Mount Pleasant and 1 inch seven miles west of Forks. Temperatures plummeted, with subfreezing temperatures locking in the Peninsula all week. Port Townsend’s high temperature is expected to be 41 degrees today, Burg said. Forks, Sequim and Clallam Bay-Sekiu are expected to warm up to nearly 44 degrees, while Port Angeles should see ice melt with a

The main arterials throughout Jefferson County were clear Wednesday, Sheriff Tony Hernandez said. “Some of the side roads are still challenging, and some people may be required to put their cables on,” he said. “At night, drivers should be alert for compacted snow and black ice,” he said.

Jefferson Transit buses were running a couple minutes behind but were all on their routes and on schedule for the most part, dispatchers said Wednesday.

Regular bus schedule Jefferson Transit is closed today, but buses will run on their regular schedules starting Friday. Clallam Transit also is closed today, as well as Friday, and will return to oper-

ation Saturday. The Port Townsend School District was closed for the entire week after the storm began. Port Angeles and Cape Flattery school districts, which had planned to be open Wednesday, canceled classes after a dusting of snow in the morning. Crescent School District was the lone district on the Peninsula remaining open on the day before Thanksgiving.

Attendance was a little light, Superintendent Tom Anderson said. “We were running short in all the classes,” he said. “A number of the parents chose to keep their kids home, I guess, because maybe it was difficult for them to get out of their driveways and down to the bus stops.” Classes in all districts will resume Monday after the Thanksgiving break.

Hammered and driving? You might ‘Get Nailed’ Peninsula Daily News

State Patrol and other law enforcement officers plan extra patrols looking for impaired drivers this holiday weekend. The holiday Drive Hammered, Get Nailed campaign

begins today and will continue till Sunday, Jan. 2. On the North Olympic Peninsula, the Drive Hammered, Get Nailed campaign is a joint effort among the state Traffic Safety Commission, State Patrol, the

Clallam County DUI Task Force and the Jefferson County Traffic Safety Task Force. Also, the Sequim Police Department is launching special holiday patrols to crack down on drunken

drivers today through Sunday, said Sequim Police Sgt. Don Reidel. “We will be looking for people,” he said. “This weekend, we are going to be out there definitely in force. “Patrols can occur any-

where in [East] Clallam County,” he said, adding that up to three patrol officers will be out looking for those driving under the influence. “Our officers will primarily work in the Sequim area,

but they will be anywhere in the area looking for” drunken drivers, he said. “If people see a DUI or suspect a DUI, we really would like it if they would give us a call” at 9-1-1, Reidel said.

Wife gets 20 years in prison The Associated Press

VANCOUVER, Wash. — A woman who shot and wounded her husband with a shotgun because he was having an affair was sentenced to 20 years in prison Tuesday in Vancouver, Wash. The Columbian reported that 54-year-old Sheryl J. Martin of Ridgefield was convicted in October of attempted murder. She had said she was driven to violence by her husband’s neglect and emotional abuse. Clark County Superior Court Judge Barbara Johnson told Martin her action’s were deliberate when she shot her husband twice, reloaded and shot him twice more in the legs and arm. The husband, who wanted a divorce, Eddie Martin, thought he was dying but survived. He said between shots, his wife yelled, “If I can’t have you, nobody can.”

Briefly . . . Pool contract different for new exec PORT ANGELES — If the William Shore Memorial Pool District’s new executive director resigns, he will not receive any more pay and benefits. That’s contrary to the contract for the former interim director, who received $18,500 — enough to cover pay and benefits for the rest of the year — when she resigned last month. At the time, district commission President Mike Chapman said that the board had to pay interim director Jayna Lafferty her salary and benefits for the rest of her contract, which was set to expire Dec. 31, because her employment contract did not address what would happen if she resigned. The commissioners fixed the oversight this time around by stipulating in Executive Director Steve Burke’s contract — approved Tuesday — that

his pay and benefits will end immediately if he resigns.

Community forum PORT ANGELES — A community forum on the Port Angeles School District’s strategic planning is planned next month. The district will conduct the forum from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 3, and Saturday, Dec. 4, at the North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center, 905 W. Ninth St. This constitutes a special meeting of the School Board. The purpose of this forum is to engage the community in strengthening the foundation for education in Port Angeles. The next regular board meeting is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 6, at Jefferson Elementary School, 218 E. 12th St. The regular meeting will incorporate agenda items from the meeting originally scheduled last Monday, which was canceled because of bad weather.

Careful with funds OlyCAP does not use the Peninsula Home Fund when other resources are adequate. For example, when energy assistance dollars are available from local utilities or the federal government, those funds are used before any consideration is given to using Home Fund dollars. Vouchers written on the Home Fund are often supplemented by other resources. For example, if a family needs personal hygiene supplies, OlyCAP will first look at its inventory of goods provided to them from World Vision to distribute. These strategies help extend the Home Fund — and help to leverage other resources to benefit those in need.

VISTA volunteers New this year providing “helping hands” are our Americorps VISTA volunteers assigned to OlyCAP. For every instance of help provided by the Peninsula Home Fund, an appointment must be arranged with someone who can help. A network of volunteers has developed over the years. Gracious community members have made up the backbone of OlyCAP’s emergency services volunteers. But this year, OlyCAP has been able to use many of its Americorps VISTA volunteers to meet the growing need of struggling persons or families. More than half a dozen Americorps VISTAs have helped families by means of the Home Fund.

Home Fund: ‘Hand up, not a handout’ With every dollar donated, 100 percent going directly to assist those in need — there are no deductions of any kind for costs — the Peninsula Daily News’ Peninsula Home Fund’s emphasis is on making sure no one falls through the cracks during the most demanding time of the year — winter. The Peninsula Home Fund is disbursed by case managers at OlyCAP — nonprofit Olympic Community Action Programs, the No. 1 emergency care agency on the North Olympic Peninsula — which screens the applicants and administers the fund for the PDN.

Every instance of assistance is designed to help get an individual or family back on the path to self-sufficiency.

The goal — avoid a recurrence of the emergency that prompted aid from the fund. Peninsula Daily News

OLYMPIA — The state Health Department said only two people were reported with the West Nile virus in Washington this year, compared with nearly 40 in 2009. The department said a Chelan County woman apparently was exposed to

the disease while traveling in Colorado. She has recovered. A Grant County woman is the only person to acquire the disease in Washington. The department said Tuesday she is not currently in a hospital. Deputy Health Secretary Gregg Grunenfelder said the virus is unpredictable

and officials don’t know why the number of cases dropped. In addition to the human cases, two dead birds from Grant County and nearly 130 mosquito samples from Grant, Yakima and Benton counties tested positive for the virus. No horses tested positive this season in Washington.

Commentary

Thankful to see the real America As millions of us gather at tables to offer thanks during this uniquely American holiday — OK, Canada has one, too, but without our Pilgrims — most will express gratiCal tude to God for Thomas freedom and material blessings. This year, as in every year since 1989 when she escaped with other “boat people” from communist Vietnam, Kim Vu will offer thanks borne out of a deep gratitude for what America has meant to her since she and so many others risked their lives for something they regarded as even more valuable: freedom. A generation has grown up since the boat people caught the public’s attention.

To many in what has become a self-indulgent generation, it may be difficult to fathom how anyone could go to such lengths to achieve something too many of us take for granted. Vu was 20 years old when her father urged her to follow her brother, who was the first to escape. She is now 41. Vu says she was not afraid, though the Vietnamese communists sank boats they could spot and killed many who tried to escape. Vu tried twice to escape, but pulled back when she sensed danger. On her third try, she succeeded. Vu’s father, a retired officer in the South Vietnamese Army, gave her two gold bars to pay for the journey. She was taken in a small boat that held no more than three people to a larger boat that waited offshore in darkness. “ We spent seven days on a trip to Malaysia with no food, only

water and the water consisted of three bottle caps each day.” Later she was transferred to another refugee camp in the Philippines where she spent six months before the paperwork was completed and she was allowed to come to Virginia where her older brother lived following his escape. What does freedom mean to Kim Vu? “It means a lot, because I lived with communists, who wouldn’t let me go to school. I am very appreciative to live in this country.” She became a U.S. citizen in 1995. What would Vu say to her now fellow Americans who might take their freedom for granted and not appreciate the country as much as someone who once experienced oppression? “They need to see what other countries don’t have that we have here. Some people don’t see, so they don’t know.”

Peninsula Voices Duck hunting The state Department of Fish and Wildlife just announced that it opened 140 acres at the mouth of the Dungeness River, and for the first time in 100 years they will be killing ducks from that site [“Duck Hunting Just Got Better,” Oct. 15 Outdoors column]. They began the slaughter immediately, inviting hunters from all over the county to come to Sequim to kill ducks, (and deer, geese, caged pheasants, quail, grouse, elk.) When I complained that there are no more ducks in Dungeness County Park (though the article said in the past there were thousands of ducks in there) and I see very few deer, ducks and geese around Sequim, the WDFW response was that all of Sequim area is compromised as habitat for wildlife because of development, etc. If the habitat of Sequim’s wildlife is com-

promised, then why is WDFW killing off the few that are left? The limits are antiquated: They can kill seven ducks, four geese and four grouse daily for four months and 10 quail and two pheasants every hunting day for two months. That means that WDFW is selling those birds to the hunters for pennies. This is not sustainable. WDFW is exterminating the Sequim wildlife, not managing it. The state says the hunter is worth $35 daily to an area, but the Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission says the tourist is worth $115. We need what wildlife we have left to view, not to kill. Call your state representatives, Steve Tharinger [who is taking office in January] and Kevin Van De Wege, and tell them to have WDFW conserve and protect our precious wildlife.

Kim now cuts hair at a shop in Arlington, Va. I ask her what she likes best about America. She laughs and replies, “Everything is good.” How many native-born Americans think this way? Vu maintains contact with relatives still in Vietnam (three of her six siblings are now in the U.S.). And while things are “better” in her native country than when the communists first took over, she says, “It is still a government-controlled country.” Citing as one example the restrictions on her Catholic church, Vu says the church must ask permission from the government “about what time they can do the Mass.” America is too often criticized for its actual and perceived shortcomings. Critics seem incapable of appreciating America’s exceptionalism, including President Obama, who has dismissed the notion by

saying everyone feels their country is exceptional. If that were true, why do so many want to come here? Perhaps it takes someone like Kim Vu to remind the rest of us not only of the cost of freedom — but just how fragile freedom is and how it must be constantly fought for if it is to be maintained. More than anything else we might possess, or hope to possess, freedom ought to be at the top of every American’s list of things for which we should be thankful every day, not just at Thanksgiving.

Phone, write or e-mail Rep. Norm Dicks and Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell and let them know to extend the Bush tax cuts for everyone. We don’t need taxes to go up during these bad economic times for anyone. Our small businesses and, yes, even large ones

need some sort of certainty and tax breaks now. They may to be able to start hiring and expanding their business. Let them know that government needs to stop spending. Let them know that we do not support earmarks. It does nothing but corrupt government and waste money. I’m sure that they will say it is only a small portion of the budget and it wouldn’t make a big difference in cutting the budget. After all it’s only a few millions dollars — but I say every little bit helps. Think if we handled our finances this way. It is our responsibility to monitor our representatives and let them know how we expect them to vote on legislation. Your contact with them makes a difference. It is the people’s seat that they sit in and represent, not an agenda, lobbyist or a party. Richard Aksamit, Sequim

Health industry targets filmmaker Moore Michael Moore, the Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker, makes great movies but they are not generally considered “cliff-hangers.” All that might change Amy since a whistleGoodman blower on the “Democracy Now!” news hour revealed that health insurance executives thought they may have to implement a plan “to push Moore off a cliff.” The whistle-blower: Wendell Potter, the former chief spokesman for health insurance giant, Cigna. He was quoting from an industry strategy session on how to respond to Moore’s 2007 documentary “Sicko,” a film critical of the U.S. health insurance industry. Potter told me that he is not sure how serious the threat was but he added, ominously: “These companies play to win.” Moore won an Oscar in 2002 for his film about gun violence, “Bowling for Columbine.” He followed that with “Fahr-

enheit 9/11,” a documentary on the presidency of George W. Bush that became the top-grossing documentary film in U.S. history. So when Moore told a reporter that his next film would be about the U.S. health care system, the insurance industry took notice. AHIP (America’s Health Insurance Plans), the major lobbying group of the for-profit health insurance corporations, secretly sent someone to the world premiere of “Sicko” at the Cannes Film Festival in France. Its agent rushed from the screening to a conference call with industry executives, including Potter. “We were very scared,” Potter said, “and we knew that we would have to develop a very sophisticated and expensive campaign to turn people away from the idea of universal care. . . . “We were told by our pollsters [that] a majority of people were in favor of much greater government involvement in our health care system.” AHIP hired a public-relations firm, APCO Worldwide, founded by the powerful law firm Arnold & Porter, to coordinate the response. APCO formed the fake grassroots consumer group “Health

Care America” to counter the expected popularity of Moore’s “Sicko” and to promote fear of “government-run health care.” Potter Moore writes in his new book, Deadly Spin: An Insurance Company Insider Speaks Out on How Corporate PR Is Killing Health Care and Deceiving Americans, that he “found the film very moving and very effective in its condemnation of the practices of private health insurance companies. “There were many times when I had to fight to hold back tears. “Moore had gotten it right.” The insurance industry declared its campaign against “Sicko” a resounding success. Potter wrote: “AHIP and APCO Worldwide had succeeded in getting their talking points into most of the stories about the movie, and not a single reporter had done enough investigative work to find out that insurers had provided the lion’s share of funding to set up Health Care America.” Indeed, everyone from CNN to

USA Today cited Health Care America as if it were a legitimate group. Moore concedes: “Their smear campaign was effective and did create the dent they were hoping for — singlepayer and the public option never even made it into the real discussion on the floor of Congress.” Moore has called Potter the “Daniel Ellsberg of corporate America,” invoking the famous Pentagon whistle-blower whose revelations helped end the Vietnam War. Potter’s courageous stand made an impact on the debate. But the insurance industry, the hospitals and the American Medical Association prevailed in blunting the elements of the plan that threatened their profits. A recent Harvard Medical School study found that nearly 45,000 Americans die each year — one every 12 minutes — largely because they lack health insurance. But for the insurance lobby, the only tragedy is the prospect of true health care reform. In 2009, the nation’s largest health insurance corporations funneled more than $86 million to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to oppose health care

reform. This year, the nation’s five largest insurers contributed three times as much money to Republican candidates as to Democrats, in an effort to further roll back insurance industry reform. Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., an advocate of single-payer health care, declared in Congress that “the Republican Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of the insurance industry.” Potter agrees, saying the Republican Party has “been almost bought and paid for.” The health insurance industry is getting its money’s worth. Moore said that the industry was willing to attack his film because it was afraid it “could trigger a populist uprising against a sick system that will allow companies to profit off of us when we fall ill.” Now that is truly sick.

Giving some sporty thanks TURKEY IS THAWING and grandma just said something wildly inappropriate. Yes, the time has come to give Matt thanks. Schubert That might be a difficult proposition for some on this very special Turkey Day, like those suffering the horrors of Snowmageddon 2010. Luckily, my dear Peninsulites, you can always count on yours truly to find a silver lining or two. UW and WSU football might be in the tank, but at least the Seahawks find themselves in the thick of the NFC West race (albeit by default). The Seattle Sonics might be blossoming in some two-bit burgh in the Dust Bowl, but at least UW’s basketball team looks primed for another postseason run. You see, there’s plenty to be thankful for when you look hard enough. Here’s a list of things I’m particularly grateful for (outside of the fact I don’t have to “enjoy” Aunt Mary’s dreaded green bean casserole this Thanksgiving): ■ Fantastic prep football — A few teams struggled mightily this fall. But as anyone who witnessed the sheer spectacle of October’s Port Angeles-Sequim game in Civic Field will tell you (4,200-plus attended), this was a special season. Five Peninsula football teams reached the playoffs, with the area nearly submitting its second straight year with a winning record (42-45). This despite two schools going 0-9. And it isn’t even over yet. Neah Bay (9-2) has a shot at its first state championship game trip in 11 years if it beats Lummi on Saturday in Tacoma. ■ Salmon supreme — The saltwater salmon season may not have been anything special. But at least that didn’t translate over to the fall river fishing scene, which underwent an angling renaissance on the Hoh, Sol Duc and many other Quillayute system tributaries. Let’s just hope that translates over to steelhead season (which unofficially kicks off Friday). ■ Snowmageddon 2010 — All that white stuff laid waste to many a holiday travel plan. But that just means we got ourselves a nice base of snow atop Hurricane Ridge (two-plus feet as of Wednesday morning). Suddenly the idea of a downhill skiing/snowboarding opener before Christmas doesn’t seem too farfetched. One other Ridge-related thing to be thankful for: Hurricane Ridge Road will be open seven days a week this winter, (insert federally mandated “weather permitting” phrase here). ■ College hoops hotbed — The UW football team’s return to national prominence didn’t happen this fall. But that doesn’t mean the Dawgs’ ascension atop the college hoops hierarchy will stop anytime soon. Washington looks like a legitimate Pac-10 favorite two weeks into the season with competitive games against top-10 teams Kentucky and Michigan State. On the other side of the state, Gonzaga may not be the Bulldogs of old, but they look awfully interesting with Irondale’s favorite son, Steven Gray. The former Chimacum High School star has averaged 22.4 points, 5.6 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game in the Bulldogs’ first five games of the season. Oh, and the Peninsula College men might not be too bad either under first-year head coach Lance Von Vogt (preview on Friday). ■ Conjunction junction — As is my want, I started five different sentences with a conjunction in this column.

Dawgs come up short No. 2 Michigan St. spoils Washington’s Hawaii trip By John Marshall The Associated Press

LAHAINA, Hawaii — It wasn’t the tournament win Michigan State has been looking for going on a dozen years now. That went away with a disappointing loss in the semifinals. Beating a good team in a tight game at least took some of the sting off. Kalin Lucas scored 29 points and keyed a second-half rally, helping the second-ranked Spartans salvage a 76-71 win over No. 13 Washington in the third-place game of the Maui Invitational on Wednesday. Washington (3-2) had a decent day offensively, shooting superbly in the first half after a slow start, keeping up with the Spartans in a counter-punching second. The Huskies just couldn’t get the stops, particularly down the stretch to suffer a second straight tough defeat. Matt Bryan-Amaning led Washington with 15 points and Isaiah Thomas added 13 and six assists. “We’re obviously very, very disappointed,” Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said. “We had a lot of high hopes coming into the tournament

and we’re leaving 1-2.” Michigan State will have a much better trip home with third place. “It was good to come out and get a win like that, especially after the loss we took last night,” said Michigan State forward Draymond Green, who had 12 points and six rebounds.

UW 10-point lead Michigan State (4-1) trailed by 10 after a turnover-filled first half, but charged back behind Lucas. The senior guard scored seven points during an opening 18-5 run that put the Spartans up 52-49 and hit two gamesealing free throws in the closing seconds after injuring his knee a few minutes earlier. Lucas lingered on the floor after Washington’s Justin Holiday fell on his left knee late in the game, but returned quickly and finished with a flourish, shooting 9-of-13 from the field with four 3-pointers. “I dove for a loose ball and they kind of hit me on my knee,” Lucas said. “My knee’s fine. I really don’t know what I did to it. It kind of hurt a little bit, the doctors Michigan State center Garrick Sherman, left, reaches in looked at it, but I’m fine.” Turn

Williams may miss Chiefs’ game Seahawks’ best WR has injury By Tim Booth

RENTON — Matt Hasselbeck talked Wednesday about the ease of throwing to Seattle wide receiver Mike Williams, especially when he’s in single coverage. Then Hasselbeck proceeded to say he’s not planning on Williams playing this week when the Seahawks host AFC West leading Kansas City. It’s not the words Seattle wanted to hear especially, with the rise of its passing game in the past few weeks. “Right now I’m treating it like he cannot go,” Hasselbeck said. “That’s really how I’m going into it — that’s how I’m studying film, that’s how I think this The Associated Press game plan is set up, as if he’s Seattle wide receiver Mike Williams is tackled by New Orleans linebacker Scott not playing.

Brady, Pats take on Lions The Associated Press

Lonnie Archibald/for Peninsula Daily News

Winter

practice

The snow and ice storm that slammed into the North Olympic Peninsula this week didn’t keep the Forks High School boys varsity team from practicing this week. Head coach Scott Justus puts the Spartans through drills earlier this week. The prep winter sports season starts Monday throughout the Peninsula.

Dawgs: Lose tourney thriller Continued from B1 Lucas keyed the big early run in the second half and kept firing. Washington kept answering and the ensuing backand-forth was filled with 3-pointers, hard drives and dunks in transition. Michigan State’s Durrell Summers, 1-for-9 at the time, hit back-to-back 3-pointers to put the Spartans up 72-68 with just over a minute left. Thomas responded with a tough spin-off-the-glass against three defenders a few seconds later, and the Huskies got the ball back when Green slipped to the floor and out of bounds. Green then fouled BryanAmaning, who made just 1-of-2 free throws with 13 seconds left. The Huskies were forced to foul and Korie Lucious made both free throws to make it a three-point game, then Lucas sealed it with two free throws after Washington’s C.J. Wilcox shot an airball 3-pointer at the other end. “Really, really difficult to have a few hours to prepare for Michigan State,” Romar said. “They run their offense with much precision.” Michigan State struggled in the first round against tiny Chaminade before pulling it out and lost a brutally-physical game to unranked Connecticut in the semifinals. The loss to the Huskies will certainly knock the Spartans down the rankings and continued their non-postseason tournament struggles. Michigan State has done well in the spring, winning a national championship in 2000 and reaching the Final Four six times in 12 years, including the last two. When it comes to duringthe-season tournaments, the Spartans can’t seem to get things right. Michigan State is currently on a 13-year championship-less drought, with losses in Maui, Alaska, Kansas City and Puerto Rico, among others.

SEATTLE — Standing over the penalty kick, in the oddest of circumstances, Washington’s Jorde LaFontaine-Kussmann wasn’t a cancer survivor. She was a goalkeeper, taking a penalty shot in the ninth-round of a shootout in the NCAA women’s soccer tournament with Washington’s season on the line. “I was more nervous taking the [penalty] than for any of the 11 shots I had to face,” LaFontaine-Kussmann said. LaFontaine-Kussman scored, part of Washington’s second-round upset of Portland in a shootout that eventually lasted 11

On the bench Brady’s path to being one of the best winners in sports began on the bench at Michigan. “Tommy had to work for everything he had,” said Florida Gators quarterbacks coach Scot Loeffler, who tutored Brady as a student and graduate assistant. “But you always knew he was going to be a winner because his intangibles are off the charts.” Brady barely played as an underclassmen, backing up Brian Griese on the 1997 national championship team. As a senior, he had to compete with Drew Henson for playing time. That perhaps led to him being a sixth-round pick, drafted 199th overall, behind four teammates. “He was hoping to play sooner than he did, then he had to prove himself again and again,” said Lions offensive tackle Jeff Backus, a teammate of Brady’s at Michigan. “He has talked about playing with a chip on his shoulder for not being drafted until the later rounds. “

Hawks: Hurt

The Associated Press

Michigan State’s Delvon Roe (10) and Draymond Green (23) take on Washington forward Matthew Bryan-Amaning (11) in the second half of Wednesday’s game at the Maui Invitational in Lahaina, Hawaii. This year’s seniors lost in the final at the 2007 CBE Classic, the first round of the 2008 Old Spice Classic and last year’s final of the Legends Classic. The loss to coming-onstrong UConn completed the set, leaving the Spartans hoping to regroup against another talented team.

They did it, but just barely, salvaging what could have been a really tough weekend. “We did show some character because it wasn’t easy,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. “We had a tough loss yesterday in a game we led down the stretch and thought we could have

won. “It’s disappointing to not win the tournament, but make no mistake about it, there’s about three teams here are I think are as good as we’ll face all year.” It could help the Spartans at the end of the year, when they don’t seem to have any tournament troubles.

DETROIT — Tom Brady has become one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks, leading New England to three Super Bowl titles and winning two MVP awards. Brady said his “incredible” experience in college at Michigan prepared him to play for Patriots coach Bill Belichick. “It’s a very tough football program,” he said. “I think our head coach, Lloyd Carr, really demanded the best out of us every day in practice — very much along the lines of what coach Belichick does. “That taught me about competition and what it means to be a leader.” He learned well: Brady’s career record is 119-36, including the playoffs. Since he became a starter in 2001, the Detroit Lions are 35-119. The league has matched up the lowly Lions with a marquee QB for their annual showcase game on Thanksgiving, as usual in the hopes of holding viewers for a game that is often lopsided. Detroit has lost a franchise-high six straight games on the holiday by an average of 23.2 points, and eight of nine in its showcase game. “It presents a platform and opportunity to show people who don’t watch us on a weekly basis that we are better than a 2-8 team,” said Lions quarterback Shaun Hill, who will start in place of injured Matthew Stafford for a third straight week and eighth time this season. New England (8-2) is tied for the NFL’s best record and Detroit’s mark is better than only the one-win Carolina Panthers.

“We still believe we’ve got the pieces to be a good team, and at times we’re playing really well,” Lions defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch said. “But it’s a bottom-line business and our record isn’t good. It’s time to start winning and beating a good team at home would be big for this locker room and the perception of this team. “The thing we feel good about in a way is that we haven’t been outclassed or overmatched by anybody in the league. It’s just a matter of winning.”

rounds. The Huskies went on to beat UC Irvine in double overtime last week and will face Boston College in the national quarterfinals on Saturday in Newton, Mass. But the nerves of being the center of attention in a penalty shootout are mundane compared to what LaFontaine-Kussman previously faced. Three years ago, as a freshman at California, LaFontaine-Kussman was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. “I think that’s the best thing about our team that everyone can look to their left and right and they all set great examples for each

other,” Washington coach Lesle Gallimore said. LaFontaine-Kussman’s whirlwind journey started in the fall of 2007, when she was one of the top prep goalkeepers in the country enrolling at California, leaving behind the gray gloom she’d grown sick of seeing in the Pacific Northwest. Shortly after arriving in Berkeley, she began experiencing sharp chest pains. While convinced they would go away, she told the team trainer anyway. She’s thankful that she spoke up. Doctors said the The Associated Press fast-growing mass they found had been developing Washington GK Jorde for about a year, but the LaFontaine-Kussmann cancer hadn’t spread. kicks the ball.

Airport lines move smoothly; few ‘opt-out’ of full-body scans By Michael Tarm

The Associated Press

SEATTLE — The lines moved smoothly at Seattle -Tacoma International and at airports around the country Wednesday afternoon despite an Internet campaign to get Thanksgiving travelers to gum up the works on one of the busiest days of the year by refusing full-body scans. The Transportation Security Administration said very few passengers “opted out.” For days, activists had waged a loosely organized campaign on the Internet to encourage airline passengers to demonstrate, refuse full-body scans and insist on lengthy pat-downs in what was dubbed National Opt-Out Day. This would have caused cascading delays and monumental lines. But there were only scattered protesters, and checks showed most of the Thanksgiving travelers selected for full-body scans chose to submit to them rather than create havoc on one of the busiest flying days of the year. At Sea-Tac, about a halfdozen people passed out leaflets against the TSA screenings but didn’t interfere with the pre-holiday travelers. Two protesters at the Phoenix airport held signs decrying “porno-scans” and drew sidelong glances from some passengers but words of support from others, who told them, “Thank you for being here.” The weather was shaping up as a much bigger threat, especially in

The Associated Press

A TSA agent waits for approval to release travelers as they go through security at the screening area of the Richmond International airport in Virginia on Tuesday. the West. A ferocious, early-season snowstorm pummeled the Rockies, bringing whiteout conditions to parts of the region and closing roads.

Weather problems It was expected to delay air travelers and people who probably thought they were doing the smart thing by driving. Also, heavy rain was forecast in the Midwest. And windy weather in New England could create snags. Wait times for security checks at major U.S. airports from San Francisco to New York were 20 minutes or less Wednesday morning, according to the TSA, and no serious disruptions were reported “It was a day at the beach, a box of chocolates,” said Greg Hancock, 61, who

breezed through security at the Phoenix airport on the way to a vacation in California. He was sent through a body scanner after a golf ball marker set off the metal detector. His wife, Marti Hancock, 58, said that ever since she was in the air Sept. 11, 2001, and feared there was a bomb on her plane, she has been fully supportive of stringent security. “If that’s what you have to do to keep us safe, that’s what you have to do,” she said. Asked early Wednesday if the protests were having any noticeable effect, TSA Chief John Pistole told The Associated Press: “Not that we’ve seen overall. So far, so good. No long wait times or anything.” The full-body scanners

show a person’s contours on a computer in a private room removed from security checkpoints. But critics say they amount to virtual strip searches. Some have also complained that the new enhanced pat-downs are humiliating and intrusive, too. TSA officials say the procedures are necessary to ward off terror attacks like the attempted bombing of a Detroit-bound plane last Christmas, allegedly by a Nigerian man who stashed explosives in his underwear. More than 40 million people plan to travel over the Thanksgiving holiday, according to AAA, with more than 1.6 million flying — a 3.5 percent increase from last year.

U.S. considers subsidies to find new ‘superbug killer’ antibiotics By Andrew Pollack The New York Times

antibiotics with five extra years of protection from generic competition and speed the reviews of new antibiotics by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Besides tax breaks and extra protection from competition, other ideas policy makers are considering include additional federal funding of research and guaranteed purchases by the government of new antibiotics. Measures like these are already used to encourage the development of drugs for rare diseases, through the Orphan Drug Act, and for illnesses like malaria that primarily afflict poor countries. The Obama administration is also taking some steps. The federal agency that oversees development of treatments for bioterrorism agents like anthrax is broadening its scope to encompass more common infections. In August, the agency,

known as the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, awarded its first such “multi-use” contract, giving an initial $27 million to a company called Achaogen to develop an antibiotic that could be used for plague and tularemia as well as antibiotic-resistant infections. The Department of Health and Human Services is considering creating an independent fund that would invest in small biodefense companies.

Stocks up after reports offer hope

peninsuladailynews.com

NEW YORK — Stocks ended Wednesday on a positive note after a batch of economic reports offered hope that the U.S. economy was improving. Incomes rose last month, and consumer spending climbed for a fifth month. That raised hopes that shoppers will hit the malls in droves the day after Thanksgiving, the start of the holiday shopping season. At the same time, fewer people claimed unemployment benefits last week, a sign that the labor market is recovering. “There are fundamental signs that the economy is turning a corner,” said John O’Donoghue, cohead of equities at Cowen & Co. The Dow Jones industrial average surged 150.91, or 1.4 percent, to 11,187.28. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index gained 17.62, or 1.5 percent, to 1,198.35. The Nasdaq composite index rose 48.17, or 1.9 percent, to 2,543.12.

WASHINGTON — Worried about an impending public health crisis, government officials are considering offering financial incentives to the pharmaceutical industry, like tax breaks and patent extensions, to spur the development of vitally needed antibiotics. While the proposals are still nascent, they have taken on more urgency as bacteria steadily become resistant to virtually all existing drugs at the same time that a considerable number of pharmaceutical giants have abandoned this field in search of more lucrative medicines. The number of new antibiotics in development is “distressingly low,” Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, said at a news conference last month. The world’s weakening arsenal against “superbugs” has prompted scientists to warn that everyday infections could again become a major cause of death just as they were before the advent of penicillin around 1940. “For these infections, we’re back to dancing around a bubbling cauldron while rubbing two chicken bones together,” said Dr. Brad Spellberg, an infectious disease specialist at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, Calif. For example, scientists have become alarmed by the spread from India of a newly discovered mutation called NDM-1, which renders certain germs like E. coli invulnerable to nearly all modern antibiotics. About 100,000 Americans a year are killed by infections acquired in hospitals, many resistant to multiple antibiotics. Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, the best known superbug, now kills more Americans each year than AIDS. While the notion of directly subsidizing drug companies may be politi-

cally unpopular in many quarters, proponents say it is necessary to bridge the gap between the high value that new antibiotics have for society and the low returns they provide to drug companies. “There is a market failure,” said U.S. Rep. Henry A. Waxman, a California Democrat and the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, who said he was considering introducing legislation. “We need to look at ways to spur development of this market.” Waxman will lose his committee chairmanship with the Republicans having won control of the House this month. But the idea of spurring antibiotic development appears to have some bipartisan support. U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey, a Georgia Republican and a physician, recently introduced the Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now bill, which would provide certain

Singing sounds of joy since 1871 In the winter of 1871, the Olympic Glee Club performed at the Good Templars Hall on Quincy Street in Port Townsend. William Taylor, who led the singers, his wife, Harriett, and their 9-year-old daughter, Cora, were part of the concert along with a handful of men from the area. They were not the first locally organized singers, nor were they the last. A later group, the Port Townsend Glee Club, had its first performance at Learned’s Opera House on Washington Street on Feb 27, 1889. There were 40 enthusiastic adult men and women who sang a variety of tunes. Professor W.J. Melville was the director, and his wife, Josie, was the pianist. In January 1903, a call was made for singers to form a Choral Union, which Community Chorus archives was being organized under Director Marvin Pollard, back to camera, directs a Port Townsend & Jefferson County Community Chorus concert in 1986. the guidance of the Musical Club.

A large, new study suga downward spiral in menMany surveys show that gests, however, that retirement doesn’t alter the risk of developing major chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease. However, fatigue and depression seem to improve. The study, published Los Angeles Times

Wednesday in the British Medical Journal, is one of the largest and longest-running studies of retirement. Almost 14,000 French men and women were followed for seven years before retirement and seven years after retirement. The study authors, from Stockholm University, found

that mental and physical fatigue improved significantly after retiring. That suggests, they wrote, “that fatigue may be an underlying reason for early exit from the labor market and decreased productivity.” Fatigue was more common among women, people who retired before age 55 and those with had a chronic disease. Symptoms of depression also improved, especially among people with chronic diseases.

Depression symptoms In the year before retirement, 25 percent of the study participants reported depression symptoms and 19 percent had some kind of disease. All of the study participants retired by age 64.

Get-rich-quick e-mail is scam, not miracle Happy Thanksgiving, 2010! Today is probably a good day to forget about Medicare Part D and Advantage Plans (although, in truth, today would also probably be a great day to hit the PlanFinder on www. medicare.gov because everybody else won’t). No, today is probably better spent trying to avoid having the yams and the cranberry sauce clash on the table. Today, we have better things to think about — I hope. One of the problems with doing a column that appears Thursdays is that, inevitably, I have to do a column that runs on Thanksgiving Day, so the obvious topic is giving thanks! Gratitude! Great topic, and I can certainly go on ad infinitum about what I’m grateful for, but the “problem” is that pretty much everyone who is writing anything today is doing the same thing and — alas — much more inspirationally than I ever could. So what becomes of me? Go sharpen the chain saw for my annual foray into turkey mutilation? How entertaining is that? Right. So, I’m going to fall back

Tickets are $50 for members of the center, the Burke Museum and the Audubon or Washington Ornithological societies, and $55 for the general public. Trips may include an additional stop at the Kilisut Harbor/Mystery Bay area between Marrowstone and Indian islands. Onboard refreshments will be available.

Peninsula Daily News

Aztek’s fuel mileage drops off Dear Doctor: Due to some electric malfunctions, a local shop changed the power module in my beloved 2002 Pontiac Aztek. Friends make fun of the car’s ugliness, but I happen to like it a lot, particularly because of the excellent fuel mileage, which was consistently in the low 20s during the first 50,000 miles. But after replacement of the power module, the mileage has now dropped off into the teens. The repair shop said it can’t be due to the module, but there’s been no other work done. What could it be? Bob Dear Bob: Anytime there is a drastic drop in fuel economy after an electronic part is replaced, we need to step back and check the replacement electronic part and make sure it is the correct part and has been updated (flashed), if applicable. Take it to the shop and have the technician hook up a professional scan tool for a road test. Drive the car while the technician monitors all the computer information, including the oxygen sensor and engine temperature, and make sure the transmission is shifting into overdrive.

The Associated Press

Amateur astronomer Gus Johnson, 72, checks out one of his telescopes at Deep Creek Lake State Park near Swanton, Md. Harvard researchers announced that a supernova Johnson discovered in 1979 is believed to be the rarely observed birth of a black hole. Weaver said. By continuing to follow the black hole — which is about 50 million light years away — future astronomers will learn just how much material is left over from the star’s explosion, said Dan Patnaude of Harvard, a study co-author. This black hole is about five times more massive than our sun, and the star that exploded to give it birth was maybe 20 times bigger than our sun. “This is certainly eating as much as it can,” Patnaude said. “This is working as hard as it can to gobble up that material, exactly like a teenager or a toddler.”

The images were captured by the Chandra X-Ray space telescope. There is one other possible explanation for what scientists have seen. They could be watching the birth, instead, of a pulsar wind nebula, like the famous and beautiful crab nebula. But Patnaude said a black hole is more likely. Either way, this is a great chance to observe a cosmic event from the start, said Alex Filippenko of the University of California, Berkeley, who didn’t take part in the research. He agreeds that the discovery is most likely a black hole.

Black holes are warped regions in space where it is so dense that nothing — not even light — escapes. Scientists in this case see energy bursts from matter as it is sucked in. That matter is heavy gas from the exploded star and possibly a partner star that may have been next to it, Weaver said. “It’s the first time we’re seeing a black hole being born in a normal supernova,” Loeb said. “We’re able to learn about environments that cannot be reproduced in the lab and can only be observed in the universe.” While black holes are seen throughout the universe, it is unusual to witness one from near birth that “evolves and changes into its youthful stages,” said Weaver. And unlike other black holes, thanks to the keen eye of a Maryland schoolteacher and amateur astronomer, Gus Johnson, 72, who witnessed the supernova in 1979, astronomers know exactly when this black hole was born,

By Seth Borenstein WASHINGTON — Astronomers may have lucked into the ultimate in cosmic baby pictures: a voracious black hole fresh from its violent birth. After watching a nearby star that exploded into a supernova in 1979, astronomers now believe the star’s death wasn’t an ordinary one. The star’s explosion was big enough to cause a black hole to develop in its wake. They think it’s a black hole because they see something steadily consuming the gassy remnants of the exploded star, which is a telltale sign of a black hole. It sucks up everything in sight. And in this case, it’s a lot. In the 30 years since this star exploded, this baby black hole has eaten about the equivalent of the Earth in mass, which is about as big as black hole appetites can get, said Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb. He is co-author of a new paper in the journal New Astronomy, and he discussed the findings at a NASA news conference last week. On a cosmic scale, the mass of the Earth is not an awful lot to eat, but from Earth’s point of view, it’s kind of awesome, said NASA astrophysicist Kimberly Weaver. “It’s like the planet eater in ‘Star Trek,”’ she said.

Kate: Chic, private and almost royal Prince William’s fiancee prepared to be princess By Gregory Katz

The Associated Press

LONDON — She’s a country girl who loves the late-night club scene. A reluctant fashion icon who says she doesn’t fuss over her clothes — but looks stunning in just about anything. Kate Middleton has kept her thoughts to herself and a circle of trusted friends during her long romance with Prince William. Until she spoke out about her love for the 28-year-old prince and her admiration for his mother, the late Princess Diana, on the day their engagement was announced, Middleton had kept totally mum about her relationship and her thoughts about joining “The Firm,” as the royal family is popularly known. The countdown to the royal wedding has begun — William will marry Kate on Friday, April 29, at Westminster Abbey. Royal officials said last week that the couple chose the date because they wanted a spring wedding. It is also the feast day of St. Catherine of Siena, whose name Middleton shares. Queen Elizabeth II married at the abbey, the 1,000-year-old church in central London where British kings and queens are crowned. William and Kate decided against celebrating their nuptials at St. Paul’s Cathedral, where William’s parents married in 1981. So who is the future queen, and what matters to her? Only her closest friends know if she has hoped for years to marry William, as some schoolmates said — pointing out that she went out of her way to catch his

eye their freshmen year at college. Or if she was content in her role as the on-again, offagain girlfriend of one of the most eligible men in the world. In the absence of words, there have been images. Kate glamorous in evening wear, Kate lounging on a yacht in a white bikini and — most surprisingly — Kate in black bra and panties topped by a sheer dress at a charity fashion show in early 2002, when she and the prince were just friends.

The move was made That event prompted William, according to biographer Katie Nicholl, to tell a friend that “Kate’s hot.” Shortly afterward, Nicholl said, the prince made his move, setting in motion the events leading to next year’s gala royal wedding. After romance blossomed, Middleton made an effort to keep out of the public eye so she and William could enjoy each other’s company in private, Nicholl said. “They tucked themselves away,” she told The Associated Press. “They ordered curries from the local curry shop at the end of the road. “They called in DVDs.” They had a very successful understanding that they would never be photographed together, and they wouldn’t be pictured holding hands. When they turned up together, it was separately. And that stood them in good stead. They could keep that relationship clandestine for the best part of a year. It has not always been smooth sailing. The prince pursued sev-

eral other young women while dating Middleton, and the college sweethearts separated several times over the years — once in 2004, when William reportedly complained of claustrophobia in the months before graduation, and later in 2007, when William was photographed dancing the night away with other women at nightclubs. Middleton, 28, now describes that as an unhappy time, but she did not sit at home and mope. She was photographed partying in a thigh-skimming mini-dress with friends and devoted time to training for a challenging charity rowboat race. The couple soon reunited — and have spent as much time together as possible since, though William has been busy with his military training, which often keeps him away for weeks at a time.

Family background Now that their relationship is back on track — and her entry into the royal inner circle assured — Middleton’s family background is coming under increased scrutiny. She is a commoner who does not come from the highest segment of British aristocracy, where birth has been rewarded with great wealth for generations. But Middleton’s parents have made millions from their party supply business, Party Pieces. They live in Bucklebury, a pleasant village that is part suburbia and part rural England, where most of the ample houses are obscured by high hedges. It is a place where many drive Range Rovers — at about $100,000 a pop — to make it easier to ford the dirt roads when they occasionally flood. Middleton, an avid sportswoman who likes to ski and hike, is popular there, mostly because she has not put on airs since

Local resident Brian Ward said Middleton is ready for her new role. “She is well-suited,” he said. “Lots of people ’round here know her very well because she is a very ordinary girl, and she goes down to the local pub. “Our cricket team used to use the pub down there as their base in the season, and on a Sunday, she’d be in there, and she’d talk to us as she would anyone else. “No one would ever know who she was.” The party business, based in nearby Yattendon, is a family affair, with Kate and her sister Pippa and brother James helping out.

$500,000 diamond Still, there has been some sniping, with catty references to her mother’s work as a flight attendant before she and her husband started Party Pieces. But Middleton, now sporting a half-million-dollar rock on her ring finger, may have the last laugh. “I think people are incredibly snobby when it

comes to her family, who seem hardworking and interesting and interested people,” said Richard Dennen, a friend of the couple from their days at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. “Historically, kings in this country have married out of their gene pool. “In recent history, when they’ve married members of the aristocracy, I don’t think it’s worked out particularly well.” It is inevitable that Middleton will become a fashion icon who will be compared to Diana, who graced thousands of magazine covers around the world before her death. Middleton has managed to retain a squeaky-clean image despite a penchant for the night life when she and William are in London. They are inveterate clubbers, often seen in London’s priciest venues, where they are usually welcomed like — well — royalty. But Middleton nearly always leaves looking her best, so the paparazzi photos of her are invariably flattering, even if William sometimes looks the worse

for wear. It may be the magic of youth — or the blessings of good bone structure — but Middleton seems to project joie de vivre, not Keith Richards-style decadence, even when leaving posh nightclubs at 2 or 3 in the morning. There is no question that Middleton faces a wrenching transition from private citizen to royal. Unlike Princess Diana, however, she has had years to get ready and has already received some coaching on how to deal with the constant media scrutiny and the ever-present paparazzi. She also has a university education, which Diana — only 20 when she became Princess of Wales — never obtained. Middleton earned a degree in art history, which was William’s focus before he switched to geography. “She is the best-prepared princess for the future that there has been,” said Robert Jobson, author of William and Kate: The Love Story. “She has had a chance to get to understand what is going on inside and outside the royal family.”

Cyberthieves are using money mules By Alicia A. Caldwell and Pete Yost

$14 million and counting. Overall in the last two years, the FBI has opened 390 cases against schemes that prey on businesses that process payments electronically through the Automated Clearinghouse, which handles 3,000 transactions every five seconds. In these cases, bureau agents have uncovered attempted thefts totaling $220 million and actual losses of $70 million. But the court records of Operation Trident Breach reveal a surprise. For all the high-tech tools and tactics employed in these computer crimes, platoons of low-level human foot soldiers, known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;money mules,â&#x20AC;? are the indispensable cogs in the cybercriminalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money machine. A dozen FBI criminal complaints filed in New York provide an inside look at how this cybertheft ring worked: Operating from Eastern Europe and other overseas locations, the thieves used malicious software, known as malware, to infect the computers of unsuspecting users in the United States by e-mail. The malware-infected e-mails were written to look like they came from a company manager or colleague who might send an e-mail message to everyone in a company, such as the head of human resources. When the e-mail recipient clicked on an embedded link to a website or opened an attachment, a Trojan horse virus called Zeus installed itself and gathered usernames, passwords and financial account numbers typed by the victims on their own computers. The hackers then used this information to move the victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money electronically into bank accounts set up in the United States by the money mules. The money mules set up

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sitting at a computer somewhere overseas in January 2009, computer hackers went phishing. Within minutes of casting their electronic bait, they caught what they were looking for â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a small Michigan company where an employee unwittingly clicked on an official-looking e-mail that secretly gave cyberthieves the keys to the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bank account. Before company executives knew what was happening, Experi-Metal Inc., a suburban Detroit manufacturing company, was broke. Its $560,000 bank balance had been electronically scattered into bank accounts in Russia, Estonia, Scotland, Finland and around the U.S. In August, the Catholic Diocese in Des Moines, Iowa, lost about $680,000 over two days.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Took all they couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Officials there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure how hackers got into their accounts, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;they took all they couldâ&#x20AC;? before the bank noticed what was going on, according to Jason Kurth, diocese vice chancellor. The diocese and the Detroit company were among dozens of individuals, businesses and municipalities around the country victimized by one of the largest cybertheft rings the FBI has uncovered. In September, the bureau and its counterparts in Ukraine, the Netherlands and Britain took down the ring they first got wind of in May 2009 when a financial services firm tipped the bureauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Omaha, Neb., office to suspicious transactions. Since then, the FBIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Operation Trident Breach has uncovered losses of

Then, they withdrew the funds from the shell accounts in amounts they thought were small enough to elude detection by banks and law enforcement. In some cases, the cyberthieves bombarded telephone numbers attached to the targeted accounts with calls to block the company from calling to verify the transactions. The mules sent most of the stolen funds overseas electronically to accounts controlled by the ring leaders; the mules usually kept 8 to 10 percent as their cut.

For instance, the FBI said money belonging to one TD Ameritrade customer landed in the bank account of a fake company, the Venetian Development Construction Service Corp., which was registered at an unmarked, two-story brick building in Brooklyn. The sole name on the construction companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account was that of one of the money mules. Eventually, some of the money wound up in accounts in Singapore and Cyprus and some walked out the bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s door in the pockets of mules. TD Ameritrade spokeswoman Kim Hillyer said the company has reimbursed customers who lost money Just like in the illegal drug trade, the ring leaders overseas reaped the big profits but relied on the mules to do the risky, dirty work. For each shell account, a mule had to walk into a bank, in full view of surveillance cameras and leave copies of personal identification documents. The ring leaders hid behind computer screens overseas.

Another mule, a Russian national, opened eight accounts at three different banks using five different aliases. The criminal networks used so many money mules that full-time recruiters were needed. One recruiter placed advertisements on Russian language websites seeking students with U.S. visas. A pair of Russian roommates living in Brooklyn

worked together. One smuggled at least $150,000 in cash to hackers in Russia, arranged for fake passports to be smuggled into the U.S. and acted as a middleman picking up and delivering stolen money from other mules. The other roommate opened accounts with fake names and false passports in New York and New Jersey this summer. This cybertheft ring zeroed in on individuals and small- and medium-sized businesses because they usually have fewer computer security safeguards than huge companies. Among its targets: municipalities in Massachusetts and New Jersey, the account held by a hospital at a California bank and the computers of at least 30 customers of E Trade Financial Corp. Like a number of victims, Experi-Metal has sued its bank over the thefts. A lawyer for ExperiMetal, Richard Tomlinson, said the thieves emptied the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account and then tried to siphon another $5 million out through an empty savings account of an Experi-Metal employee. They actually transferred another $1.34 million before the bank shut down the mystery wire transfers, Tomlinson said. According to court records, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bank, Dallasbased Comerica Inc., has recovered all but the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original balance of $560,000. Tomlinson said the bank should be liable for the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s losses because the wire transfers were obviously dubious â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the company hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made any transfers in more than two years and never to Eastern Europe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canada was maybe as exotic as we got and it was maybe three or four years before this,â&#x20AC;? Tomlinson said. Comerica says it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t part of the problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was caused solely by the actions of that (ExperiMetal Inc.) employee,â&#x20AC;? a lawyer for the bank wrote in a court filing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The criminal that accessed Experi-Metalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accounts was able to do so only because Experi-Metal gave him its key.â&#x20AC;?

Too much money in politics? Just wait By Jim Kuhnhenn

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — All those campaign ads and cash? Just wait until 2012. The next election will bring an explosion of political money — perhaps hundreds of millions more than ever before — without effective spending limits, a fundraising bar raised sky high by Barack Obama in his presidential campaign in 2008 and multimillion-dollar fuel added by Republican outside groups this year. The $5.3 billion spent in 2008 and $4 billion anticipated tab this year? A hint of things to come. Republicans considering running for president are preparing to sidestep the federal public financing system, eager to follow the example Obama set in 2008 when he raised nearly three quarters of a billion dollars for his presidential bid. “The public financing system is going to look like a relic by the time we get to 2012,” said Kevin Madden, a senior adviser to Mitt Romney’s 2008 Republican presidential bid and informal adviser to Romney’s political action committee as the former Massachusetts governor weighs a new White House run. Every presidential election in recent history has set new spending records, as candidates, big donors and party strategists find new ways to bypass the post-Watergate laws that imposed restrictions on money and politics and the 2002 law that banned unlimited millionaire, corporate and labor contributions to the national parties. The decision to abandon public financing in presidential elections and recent Supreme Court rulings, particularly the Citizens United case early this year that gave unions and corporations a greater voice in politics, will push the boundaries further.

Big fights next year The stakes will be even higher in 2012 as Republicans seek to gain control of the Senate and keep their newfound House majority. Twenty-one Senate Democrats and two Demo-

Jay Dunn former finance director for Democratic National Committee

cratic-leaning independents are up for election, compared to only 10 Republicans. And a slow economic recovery could keep Obama pinned down as he works to get re-elected. It’s a recipe for explosive spending. “The left will be looking for a competitive advantage to preserve the president and the White House and a Democratic majority, and the right will be looking to expand their power in Washington,” said Jay Dunn, a former finance director for the Democratic National Committee and fundraiser for the presidential campaigns of John Kerry and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Stung by the Republican takeover of the House and gains in the Senate, Democrats already are considering how to rebuild a structure of outside groups that Obama himself discouraged in 2008 and which he decried when used by Republicans in 2010. The $3 billion already spent in the 2010 federal elections — and the potential final tab of $4 billion — are record-shattering sums for a midterm election. The campaign saw outside groups such as American Crossroads and Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies, inspired by top GOP operatives such as Karl Rove, become the new archetypes for independent spending. Several of the groups operated as tax-exempt nonprofits that do not have to disclose their donors. They combined the fer-

And they provided a test case for the new court rulings — an effect that is hard to gauge in precise dollars because the contributors to many of the groups remain hidden.

Outside groups Democrats had established the outside group model in 2004 and 2006, using independent organizations to complement party and candidate spending. Crossroads, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other GOP-allied groups placed the Democratic idea on steroids, coordinating their strategies and airing millions of dollars in ads against Democrats. Obama in 2008 dissuaded Democratic outside groups from assisting his campaign and this year attacked the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Crossroads and similar Republicanleaning organizations for mounting attacks on Democrats and not revealing their financial contributors. But Obama and his

The 2010 campaign saw outside groups such as American Crossroads and Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies, inspired by top GOP operatives such as Karl Rove, become the new archetypes for independent spending. strategists “are well aware of the role of outside money and the impact it had on this cycle, and they know that they’re going to be, as opposed to the indirect target of it in 2010, they’re

going to be the direct target of in 2012,” said Rob McKay, a California venture capitalist and chairman of the Democracy Alliance, a 5-year-old group set up to advance liberal causes.

“There’s clearly a role, as evidenced by what happened Nov. 2 and what we were able to do in previous cycles, for our reaching out very specifically to key constituencies,” he said.

About one in 10 seniors smoke, compared with one in five people among the U.S. population as a whole. It turns out that smokers age 65 and older present a medical paradox. Many started when it was fashionable to light up. They are more likely than younger smokers to be seriously hooked on nicotine and less likely to attempt quitting. But research shows that their odds of success are greater if they do try to give up the habit. Older smokers who receive counseling are significantly more likely to quit than those who only get standard medical care. One study of elderly heart attack patients found that those who got counseling to help quit smoking were more likely to be alive five years later. It’s unclear why older people who try to quit have

WASHINGTON — They’ve lived with the health warnings about smoking for much of their lives and doubtless seen the ill effects on friends, relatives and even themselves, yet about 4.5 million older people in the U.S. keep on lighting up. Medicare is finally catching up to most private insurers by providing counseling for anyone on the program who’s trying to kick the habit. Dr. Barry Straube, Medicare’s chief medical officer, said it’s never too late to quit, even for lifelong smokers. “The elderly can respond to smoking cessation counseling even if they have been smoking for 30 years or more,” said Straube. “We do know we can see a reduction in the death rate and complications from smoking-related illnesses.” Not only cancer, heart disease and lung problems, which can kill, but also gastric reflux, osteoporosis and other ailments that undermine quality of life. Smoking-related illnesses cost Medicare tens of billions a year. Straube cited a two-decade estimate of $800 billion, from 1995 through 2015.

Electric cars thrill, worry utilities By Jonathan Fahey The Associated Press

Plugged into a socket, an electric car can draw as much power as a small house. The surge in demand could knock out power to a home, or even a neighborhood. That has utilities in parts of California, Texas and North Carolina scrambling to upgrade transformers and other equipment in neighborhoods where the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt are expected to be in high demand.

Growth opportunity Not since air conditioning spread across the country in the 1950s and 1960s has the power industry faced such a growth opportunity. Last year, Americans spent $325 billion on gasoline, and utilities would love even a small piece of that market. The main obstacles to wide-scale use of electric cars are high cost and limited range, at least until a network of charging stations is built. But utility executives fret that difficulties keeping the lights on for the first crop of buyers — and their neighbors—could slow the growth of this new niche. “You never get a second chance to make a first impression,” said Mike Rowand, who is in charge of electric vehicle planning at Duke

Energy. Auto executives say it’s inevitable that utilities will experience some difficulties early on. “We are all going to be a lot smarter two years from now,” said Mark Perry, director of product planning for Nissan North America. Electric cars run on big batteries that are charged by plugging into a standard wall socket or a more powerful charging station. A combined 30,000 Nissan Leafs and Chevrolet Volts are expected to be sold over the next year. Over the next two years, Ford, Toyota and every other major automaker also plan to offer electric cars. Governments are promoting the expensive technology as a way to reduce dependence on foreign oil, cut greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. Congress is offering electric car buyers a $7,500 tax credit and some states and cities provide additional subsidies that can total $8,000. The Leaf sells for $33,000 and the Volt sells for $41,000. Electric cars produce no emissions, but the electricity they are charged with is made mostly from fossil fuels like coal and natural gas that do. Still, electric cars produce two-thirds fewer greenhouse gas emissions, on average, than a similarly sized car that runs on gasoline, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. Driving 10,000 miles on electricity will add about 2,500 kilowatt-hours, or 20 percent, to a home’s average

At an average utility rate of 11 cents per kilowatt-hour, that’s $275 for a year of fuel, equivalent to about 70 cents per gallon of gasoline. “Electric vehicles have the potential to completely transform our business,” said David Owens, executive vice president of the Edison Electric Institute, a trade group.

‘Clustering’ issue Nationwide, utilities have enough power plants and equipment to power hundreds of thousands of electric cars. Problems could crop up long before that many are sold, though, because of a phenomenon carmakers and utilities call “clustering.” Electric vehicle clusters are expected in neighbor-

hoods where: n Generous subsidies are offered by states and localities n Weather is mild, because batteries tend to perform better in warmer climates n High-income and environmentally conscious commuters live So while states like North Dakota and Montana may see very few electric cars, California cities like Santa Monica, Santa Barbara and Monrovia could see several vehicles on a block. SoCal Edison expects to be charging 100,000 cars by 2015. California has set a goal of 1 million electric vehicles by 2020. Progress Energy is expecting electric car clusters to form in Raleigh, Cary and Asheville, N.C. and around

Orlando and Tampa, Fla. Duke Energy is expecting the same in Charlotte and Indianapolis. The entire territory of Texas’ Austin Energy will likely be an electric vehicle hot spot. Adding an electric vehicle or two to a neighborhood can be like adding another house, and it can stress the equipment that services those houses. “We’re talking about doubling the load of a conventional home,” said Karl Rabago, who leads Austin Energy’s electric vehiclereadiness program. “It’s big.” How big depends on the size of the battery in the car, and how fast the car is charged. When plugged into a standard 120-volt socket, the electric car will draw 1,500

watts. By comparison, a medium-sized air conditioner or a countertop microwave oven will draw about 1,000 watts. But the car can be charged faster, and therefore draw more power, when plugged into a home charging station.

3,300 watts The first Leafs and Volts can draw 3,300 watts, and both carmakers may boost that to 6,600 watts soon. The Tesla Roadster, an electric sports car with a huge battery, can draw 16,800 watts. That’s the equivalent of 280 60-watt light bulbs. A modest home in the San Francisco Bay area that doesn’t need air conditioning might draw 3,000 watts at most.

4 in 10 say marriage becoming obsolete By Hope Yen

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Is marriage becoming obsolete? As families gather for Thanksgiving this year, nearly one in three American children is living with a parent who is divorced, separated or never-married. More people are accepting the view that wedding bells aren’t needed to have a family. A study by the Pew Research Center highlights rapidly changing notions of the American family. And the Census Bureau, too, is planning to incorporate broader definitions of family when measuring poverty, a shift caused partly by recent jumps in unmarried

couples living together. About 29 percent of children under 18 now live with a parent or parents who are unwed or no longer married, a fivefold increase from 1960, according to the Pew report released Thursday. Broken down further, about 15 percent have parents who are divorced or separated and 14 percent who were never married. Within those two groups, a sizable chunk — 6 percent — have parents who are livein couples who opted to raise kids together without getting married. Indeed, about 39 percent of Americans said marriage was becoming obsolete. And that sentiment follows U.S. census data

released in September that showed marriages hit an alltime low of 52 percent for adults 18 and over. In 1978, just 28 percent believed marriage was becoming obsolete.

Fitting description When asked what constitutes a family, the vast majority of Americans agree that a married couple, with or without children, fits that description. But four of five surveyed pointed also to an unmarried, opposite-sex couple with children or a single parent. Three of five people said a same-sex couple with children was a family. “Marriage is still very important in this country,

but it doesn’t dominate family life like it used to,” said Andrew Cherlin, a professor of sociology and public policy at Johns Hopkins University. “Now there are several ways to have a successful family life, and more people accept them.” The broadening views of family are expected to have an impact at Thanksgiving. About nine in 10 Americans say they will share a Thanksgiving meal with family, sitting at a table with 12 people on average. About one-fourth of respondents said there will be 20 or more family members. “More Americans are living in these new families, so it seems safe to assume that there will be more of them around the Thanksgiving dinner table,” said Paul Taylor, executive vice president of the Pew Research Center. The changing views of family are being driven largely by young adults 18-29, who are more likely than older generations to have an unmarried or divorced parent or have friends who do. Young adults also tend to have more liberal attitudes when it comes to spousal roles and living together before marriage, the survey found. But economic factors, too, are playing a role. The Census Bureau recently reported that opposite-sex unmarried couples living together jumped 13 percent this year to 7.5 million. It was a sharp one-year increase that analysts largely attributed to people unwilling to make long-term marriage commitments in the face of persistent unemployment. Beginning next year, the Census Bureau will publish

new, supplemental poverty figures that move away from the traditional concept of family as a husband and wife with two children. It will broaden the definition to include unmarried couples, such as samesex partners, as well as foster children who are not related by blood or adoption. Still, the study indicates that marriage isn’t going to disappear anytime soon. Despite a growing view that marriage may not be necessary, 67 percent of Americans were upbeat about the future of marriage and family. T h a t ’ s higher than their optimism for the nation’s educational system (50 percent), economy (46 percent) or its morals and ethics (41 percent). And about half of all currently unmarried adults, 46 percent, say they want to get married. Among those unmarried who are living with a partner, the share rises to 64 percent. Other findings: n About 34 percent of Americans called the grow-

ing variety of family living arrangements good for society, while 32 percent said it didn’t make a difference and 29 percent said it was troubling. n About 44 percent of people say they have lived with a partner without being married; for 30- to 49-yearolds, that share rose to 57 percent. In most cases, those couples said they considered cohabitation as a step toward marriage. n About 62 percent say that the best marriage is one where the husband and wife both work and both take care of the household and children. That’s up from 48 percent who held that view in 1977. The Pew study was based on interviews with 2,691 adults by cell phone or landline from Oct. 1-21. The survey has a total margin of error of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points, larger for subgroups. Pew also analyzed 2008 census data, and used surveys conducted by Time magazine to identify trends from earlier decades.
