Outdoor tanks at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Marine Sciences Lab in Sequim are temporarily holding eelgrass from a restoration site off Bainbridge Island at the former site of the Wyckoff creosote plant. When the site is ready, the eelgrass will be replanted in hopes of restoring a once vibrant eelgrass meadow.
Scientists growing eelgrass for future Sound restoration working with the state on restoring eelgrass throughout the Puget Sound. “The amount of eelgrass that is being lost is huge,” said John Vavrinec, senior research scientist and dive officer at the Marine Sciences Laboratory. “In 2009, it was estimated about 30 percent the eelgrass meadows in the BY ALANA LINDEROTH world had been lost since the 1940s.” OLYMPIC PENINSULA NEWS GROUP Eelgrass is recognized by the Puget Sound Partnership as both critical habiSEQUIM — Local scientists are tat and a vital sign of Puget Sound lending their expertise to offset the because changes in its abundance or global decline of seagrass by studying distribution reflect changes in environand restoring eelgrass throughout mental conditions.

OLYMPIA — The House last week passed an education bill requiring the 2017 Legislature to study how to address the funding requirements of the McCleary decision. HB 2366 also collects data on teacher compensation and creates a task force that — with the help of a consultant — would produce for the 2017 legislative session recommendations to fully fund teacher pay. HB 2366 passed 64-34 on Jan. 25. Both District 24 House legislators — Sequim Tharinger Democrats Steve Tharinger and Kevin Van De Wege — voted in favor of the measure. District 24 covers Clallam and Jefferson counties and part of Grays Harbor County. No Democrat voted against the measure. The bill passed the House with bi-partisan support. Van De Wege State Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn spoke against HB 2366 during House Appropriations Committee public hearing last week, saying the bill did not do anything that was not previously studied by other task forces, councils and work groups created by the Legislature.

Donations sought for police dog’s support Sequim K-9 scheduled for surgery BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
SEQUIM — Chase, Sequim Police Department’s sole police dog, is scheduled for surgery early this month. Doctors believe Chase might have a cancerous tumor near his lower intestine and need to conduct exploratory surgery to remove the mass if it is present, the police department announced. Chase, who joined the Sequim Police Department in early 2008, was expected to retire this year. The German shepherd’s illness was a sudden surprise, said a release from the police depart-
ment, but the procedure is expected to greatly improve Chase’s health and future. During his eight-year career, Chase participated in public demonstrations, assisted in fundraising and served as a driving force behind the Sequim Dog Park agility course. The agility course within Carrie Blake Park, at 202 N. Blake Ave., was built by members of the police department in 2012. Chase has tracked more than 90 suspects and done 65 building searches in his work with the police department and handler Sgt. Mike Hill. He has captured or assisted in
the arrest of more than 100 wanted persons and assisted neighboring agencies more than 100 times. The Sequim Police Department K-9 Unit began in 2000 and has been funded almost exclusively on donations from the public and local businesses. Donations have covered the costs of purchasing, training, feeding and health care for Chase and his predecessors, Huey and Titus. All of the donations made out to the Sequim Police Department K-9 Program go directly to support the program.

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS PENINSULA POLL SATURDAY’S QUESTION: Have you watched any of the presidential debates?
Passings By The Associated Press
FRANCISCO FLORES, 56, the former Salvadoran president whose five years in power were tarnished by accusations of corruption and elitism, died Saturday in the capital after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage, his party said. The former leader had been in a coma since undergoing emergency surgery. Mr. Flores, who Mr. Flores led El Salin 2005 vador from 1999 to 2004, was under house arrest on charges of embezzlement and illegal enrichment. He was accused of diverting more than $15 million, which had been donated by Taiwan to help the victims of earthquakes in 2001. A court said $10 million of that went to the party backing him and the remainder to him. The conservative Nationalist Republican Alliance, better known as ARENA, which carried Mr. Flores to the presidency, mourned his death and said it would support his family. Current Salvadoran President Salvador Sanchez also offered his condolences through his official Twitter account. Doctors last week said Mr. Flores had suffered irreversible neurological damage and that his chances of survival were minimal. Mr. Flores had suffered from thrombosis, the clotting of blood in veins. He was hospitalized for it in October 2014.
He was hospitalized again Dec. 22, 2015, for an internal hemorrhage. Loyda Robles, one of the plaintiff lawyers against Mr. Flores, said last week that his death would end the criminal prosecution, but that the civil litigation would continue. Robles also said that plaintiffs had asked the country’s Supreme Court to add the charge of money laundering to the case. That could expand the criminal prosecution beyond Mr. Flores to include the possible involvement of others. Mr. Flores had a meteoric rise to the presidency, but once there gained a reputation for being arrogant and distant from his people. He became El Salvador’s first president to be charged and put on trial for acts of corruption during his time in office.
________ JACQUES RIVETTE, 87, a French director and secretive pioneer of convention-bashing New Wave film renowned for creating rich roles for women such as Emmanuelle Beart, has died. Mr. Rivette’s films, like many of the New Wave era, routinely appeared at elite film festivals though didn’t always enjoy commercial success. Serge Toubiana of the Cinematheque museum in Paris described Mr. Rivette’s “sense of conspiracy, sense of secrecy” and the “magnificent place” he provided to women characters. Among them were roles in an early film “La Religieuse” (The Nun), censored when it first came out in 1966; the award-
winning, nearly-fourhour “La Belle Noiseuse” (The Beautiful Troublemaker) with Mr. Rivette Beart in in 2001 1991; and a 1994 version of the Joan of Arc tale called “Jeanne la Pucelle” starring Sandrine Bonnaire. With often-tousled hair and a slight stature, Mr. Riviere was lesser known than other New Wave icons Francois Truffaut or JeanLuc Godard.

The plan announced Sunday calls for the number of flights from the Downtown Manhattan Heliport to be reduced by next January. The deal cuts out nearly 30,000 flights annually. The agreement was jointly announced by the New York City Economic Development Corp. and the Helicopter Tourism and Jobs Council. It came more than two months after the New York City Council staged a public hearing after some councilmembers proposed banning the helicopters. Residents complained that the sightseeing tours cause daylong noise and contribute to pollution.

Wisconsin legislation would protect student journalists BY BRYNA GODAR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON, Wis. — When Fond du Lac High School student reporters published an article on sexual assault two years ago, they expected to ignite a conversation about rape, not free speech. But when worried administrators responded with a policy enabling censorship, the magazine joined a decades-long debate over free speech in school-sponsored media. Though school officials ulti-

mately backed down, the magazine’s adviser, Matthew Smith, is now leading a push for legislation to protect student speech statewide. “I think that kind of opened my eyes to how harmful things can be if the rules aren’t clear and students aren’t specifically protected,” said Smith, who is now a coordinator for New Voices Wisconsin. The national New Voices campaign is pushing legislation in about 20 states to enhance free-
speech protections for high school and college media. It’s in its early stages in Wisconsin but has been gaining traction nationally following legislation passed in North Dakota last year. Four states have since introduced similar bills, and activists hope at least three others will soon join. “It’s amazing how North Dakota re-energized this movement across the country,” said Frank LoMonte, executive director of Student Press Law Center in Washington.

World: Ebola African charity pledges not keeping up
TWO YEARS AFTER thousands of gallons of a coal-cleaning agent leaked into the drinking water supply of 300,000 West Virginians, six officials of a chemical company will bring to a close criminal cases in the spill. It began when a licorice odor was noticed along the Elk River in Charleston the morning of Jan. 9, 2014. The smell was pinpointed to a leak of the coal-cleaning agent MCHM. The first to be sentenced this week are Freedom Industries plant manager Michael Burdette on Monday and environmental consultant Robert Reynolds on Wednesday. Each faces up to a year in prison and a minimum $2,500 fine.
“KUNG FU PANDA 3” has kicked its way to the top of the North American box office with a respectable $41 million, according to Rentrak estimates Sunday. The animated sequel fared much better than the weekend’s other new openers, like Disney’s Coast Guard adventure “The Finest Hours,” which debuted in fourth place with $10.3 million. The “Fifty Shades of Grey” parody “Fifty Shades of Black” earned around $6.2 million, but it only cost a reported $5 million to produce, while The Weinstein Company’s Natalie Portman-led Western “Jane Got a Gun” misfired out of the gates, bringing in less than $1 million on a $25 million budget.
ELEPHANT POACHERS IN Tanzania fired on a helicopter on an antipoaching mission and killed the British pilot, and authorities said Sunday that they have arrested three suspects. Roger Gower was shot Friday while flying on a joint operation with Tanzanian wildlife authorities who were tracking the poachers, the Friedkin Conservation Fund, which oversees some wildlife areas in Tanzania, said on its website. Three suspects were arrested, said Jumanne Maghembe, Tanzania’s minister for tourism and natural resources. The minister pledged that any other suspects will be arrested.
INTERNATIONAL DONORS HAVE failed to deliver $1.9 billion in promised funds to help West African countries recover from the Ebola epidemic that killed more than 11,000 people and decimated already weak health care systems, the U.K.-based charity Oxfam said Sunday. The remaining $3.9 billion pledged has been difficult to track because of “scant information” and a lack of transparency, the group said. “We’re finding it hard to understand which donors have given what money, to whom and for what purpose,” said Aboubacry Tall, Oxfam’s regional director for West Africa.

Seagrass meadows occupy less than 0.2 percent of the area of the world’s oceans, but it’s estimated that they bury roughly 10 percent of the ocean’s carbon, Thom said. “This is important for climate change and really important for sequestering carbon in sediments,” he said. Reasons for the overall decline in eelgrass beds “are not yet fully understood,” according to Puget Sound Partnership, but such stressors as shoreline alteration, pollution and direct physical damage have impacts on the amount and health of eelgrass.
PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT TOWNSEND — The Jefferson County Treasurer acknowledges her multiple sclerosis symptoms might increase over time but does not expect them to stand in the way of a long public service career. “I love my job and my career and feel that I’m good at it,” said Stacie Prada, who was elected to the office in 2014 as Stacie Prada Hoskins with no opposition. “I will do my best, and if I’m not able to do my job, I’ll probably be the first to know.” Prada, 45, believes she could serve four terms, the same as her predecessor, Judi Morris. Multiple sclerosis, or MS, is a long-lasting disease that can affect the brain, spinal cord, and the optic nerves. It can cause problems with vision, balance, muscle control, and other basic body functions, according to a definition from WebMD. The effects differ. Some people have mild symptoms and don’t need treatment while others have trouble getting around and doing daily tasks. Prior to her election, Prada had worked at the county Department of Community Development since 2005, working her way up to planning manager. She had not hidden the condition from her colleagues since her 2008 diagnosis at the age of 38. She announced it to the public at a 2014 campaign forum.
State goal
Projects in progress The eelgrass beds near Sequim are fairly healthy and seemingly selfsufficient, but the work and research done at the lab supports restoration projects throughout the sound, including two projects underway in Port Gamble and Quilcene bays. Eelgrass near the Marine Sciences Laboratory has allowed scientists at the lab to study established eelgrass beds and create long-term data sets, Vavrinec said. The lab also is equipped with large outdoor tanks fed with water from Sequim Bay to temporarily hold eelgrass intended for a restoration project, sometimes propagate plants and occasionally conduct experiments to better understand the physiological response of eelgrass to temperature, light, flow or amount of carbon dioxide given climate change. Because of the space limitation of

Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is recognized by the Puget Sound Partnership as both critical habitat and a vital sign of the environment of the Sound. the tanks and the scale of most of the restoration projects, the eelgrass used to plant and restore an area is taken from natural donor sites, Vavrinec said. Although scientists err on the side of caution when taking plants from donor sites, there’s a study underway to establish the threshold for the amount of plants that can be removed from a healthy eelgrass population before it’s negatively impacted.
Improve data Modeling is used when selecting areas to restore eelgrass, Vavrinec said. After modeling the shorelines, potential areas are identified, a field survey is conducted, test plots are placed and evaluated — and, if successful, Vavrinec will pursue a fullscale restoration. “Science is a process,” he said. “We’re always trying to improve our chances for success, and one of the biggest problems we run into with the model is the data.” Although modeling can target areas ideal for eelgrass, the data used isn’t always reflective of the actual nearshore environment where eelgrass is able to grow, given its sensitivity to both light and temperature. To improve the data used by the models, Vavrinec hopes to install light sensors throughout Puget Sound.
Funding for the supplies and installation still is needed, but Vavrinec hopes to pilot the project this year with five sensors. To regularly maintain and collect the information gathered by the light sensors, Vavrinec plans to network with such existing organizations as the Port Townsend Marine Science Center, Feiro Marine Life Center in Port Angeles, Seattle Aquarium, universities and citizen scientists. “The idea is to get continuous data,” he said. “This would provide two things.” First, Vavrinec said, it would provide much better estimates of where eelgrass would most likely thrive. Second, it would provide longterm data sets. “That same data also could help us monitor changes in water quality,” he said. Beyond the hands-on efforts and research being done to restore eelgrass beds, Vavrinec said, the biggest thing that would help eelgrass is to increase both nearshore habitat restoration and water quality.

Life’s challenges In the future, she hopes to write about what challenges she expects to face and how to prepare for them. She might get more involved legislatively, concerning MS in particular and other autoimmune diseases in general. “If we start working on one of them, it will help us learn about all the diseases that are currently incurable,” she said. She feels safe in her county job. It provides thorough insurance and job security. “Under ADA they can’t fire me if I’m doing my job,” Prada said, adding that the only people who can actually fire her at this point are the voters. She channels her energy and plans for stressful times by resting beforehand, a balance that has worked so far. “You can have moments of vulnerability and still be good at what you do,” she said.

said. “Considering the average age around here, if I hit some of these issues early I’m still ahead of the game.” Prada started the blog mostly for herself after writing a sporadic journal following her diagnosis to create a manual for dealing with her own challenges. “The blog helped me to capture the things that helped me cope,” she said. “I often go back to the older ones to see what has helped me.” The topics include responding to uninformed comments, understanding that one size does not fit all and using pictures and media to preserve memories, which can apply to people who don’t have MS. “I try not to write anything that I’ve seen out there,” she said. “I address topics that are new that I feel compelled to write down.” She writes about 12 entries a year, she said, although there were fewer when she was running for office. Each gets about 50 views, but she has increased her audience with the reposting of her blogs to the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America.

She went public “because I didn’t want anyone to be able to use this against me,” she said. “I don’t want to hide things or live in fear,” she said.

The state goal is to increase the area of eelgrass in Puget Sound by 20 percent by 2020. “In places I think it [restoration] has gone well, but to make that goal by 2020 is going to be pretty difficult,” Vavrinec said. For the past five years, scientists at the Marine Sciences Laboratory have worked with state agencies to try to achieve this goal, Vavrinec said, but both his and his colleagues’ work with eelgrass prior to their collaboration with the state account for many more years. If met, the goal would total 64,000 acres of eelgrass throughout Puget Sound, relative to the 2000-08 baseline of about 53,300 acres of eelgrass estimated to be within the Sound. According to the 2015 State of the Sound, an annual report of analysis and findings, the 2011-13 estimate is approximately 7 percent higher than the 2000-08 baseline but has a wide range of uncertainty. “We looked all around Puget Sound for good [restoration] spots, and the areas we’ve pursued are just the ones that floated to the top of our list,” Vavrinec said. “We’ve been targeting the larger areas first, but we need to continue to improve our methods because most of the easy sites have been addressed.”
pretty good strategy to be able to close the McCleary obligation by 2018, which is what the court has told us to do,” he said. “I think that makes a lot more sense. I am getting a lot of folks talking about how their kids are in classrooms with 29 or 30 students and we are having trouble finding teachers and substitute teachers and so I think it is important to us to solve the problem instead of delaying it.”

Sequim neighbors protest proposed radio, cell tower Designers say they’ve met the requirements

BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — Residents living near a proposed radio and cellphone tower site north of Sequim turned out in droves last week to voice their opposition to the project. “We want to go on record as being opposed to construction of the cell tower,” Mike Erwin said during Wednesday’s public hearing at the Clallam County Courthouse, which was attended by about 75 people. The tower would house FM and cellular antennas and would be disguised as a giant fir tree, according to plans submitted to the county Department of Community Development. The project is contingent upon the approval of a conditional use permit, which is being considered by William Payne, Clallam County hearing commissioner. A conditional use permit would allow construction of the 150-foot-tall tower near the Dungeness Heights subdivision at 686 Brigadoon Blvd. The property is owned by Shirley Tjemsland. The tower would be located inside a fenced, 2,500-square-foot area accessible by a 12-foot-wide gravel road connected to Brigadoon Boulevard.
“They are stunning.” Erwin said that had he known “that 600 feet across the street there would be plans for a cell tower” he would not have purchased the property. The radio/cell tower and accompanying infrastructure have been designed by Ken Hays’ architectural firm at the behest of Radio Pacific — owned by Brown Maloney — and the Tjemsland family. Radio Pacific owns and operates radio stations KONP AM-FM and KSTIFM, both of Port Angeles. The company is considering the launch of a third station in Sequim, Maloney has said.
lith tower,” he said. “It is estimated the average reduction of property values will be approximately 20 percent,” he said. “Those of us closer to the tower will suffer larger losses. “We cannot afford for this to happen.” Diane Hood, who also has property near the tower site, agreed with Erwin’s assessment. “I know that installing a cell tower at this location will reduce the value of homes nearby,” she said. “The Appraisal Journal states that the price of properties will be reduced around 21 percent after a cell tower [is] built in the neighborhood.”
Met requirements
“We feel we have more than met the Clallam County code requirements for camouflaging a cell tower north of the highway,” Hays said during Wednesday’s meeting. “We feel we have worked diligently with staff in response to their comments and community comments about aesthetics. “I am confident we can recreate something that will be representative and replicate what we see in the surrounding area.” Erwin was not convinced. “Disguising the 150 foot An ‘eyesore’ tower to look like a natural . . . tree is a joke,” Erwin Erwin, who is building a said. new home at 683 Briga“It is ridiculous.” doon, said the tower would be a “blight” and an “eye- Property values sore.” “It took us four years to And, Erwin said, he is find this building site and concerned property values we feel it is the most beauti- will plummet if the tower is ful spot on the Peninsula,” built. he said. “All property owners in “To our north — views of the neighborhood will be the Strait.

Crucial infrastructure
“I am working with their engineering group, which is Green Tree Communications, and they have specified the antennae and the equipment that they would like to mount there and they are good actually at mounting at 90 feet on the tower.” It would be a four-foot antenna, he said. Gunnerson said the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office also would be interested in mounting a radio receiver on the tower. Three FM antennas about 20 feet in length would be installed at the top of the tower, according to the plans. T-Mobile would install an antenna array at 129 feet above ground level. Other cellular providers could locate antennas at 109 feet and 119 feet above the ground. If the county approves the plan, the facility would include the tower and antennas, electrical and telephone utilities, a 100-square-foot electronic storage shed to house Radio Pacific’s broadcast equipment, two equipment cabinets for T-Mobile, a selfcontaining backup diesel generator and two structures that protect the cables running from the storage shed to the tower. The top 100 feet of the tower would be covered in artificial branches and foliage to camouflage the structure.
The tower would provide a “crucial infrastrucural need which would further the goals” of the county’s comphrehensive plan “which states the telecommunications network is vital to the quality of the life of its citizens,” said Eric Quinn, a Pierce County attorney representing Gunnerson Consulting and Communication Site Services.

Quinault elder dies in Olympia PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
TAHOLAH — A Quinault elder who had worked for the tribe since 1978 and served on the tribal council has died. Marjorie Valdillez died Thursday at Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia. She was 72. “Marjorie was loved by everyone who knew her here at Quinault Nation,” said President Fawn Sharp. After attending Grays Harbor College and working for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Taholah School and Indian Health Service, Valdillez went to work for the Quinault Nation in 1978. She served as enrollment officer, office manager, operations manager
and tribal secretary, and also served on the Quinault Tribal Council for many years, Sharp said. “Marjorie always believed strongly in education. She earned a [Bachelor of Arts] degree from The Evergreen State College Reservation-based Program when she was 61, and she always supported education programs for others in the tribe,” Sharp said. “We will all miss her very much, but her legacy will live on.” She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Salvador Valdillez; two daughters; three grandchildren; four sisters; and three brothers. She was the daughter of Mauro Basa and Violet Hudson.

Gender identity focus of state restroom legislation BY IZUMI HANSEN WNPA OLYMPIA NEWS BUREAU
OLYMPIA — A bill to repeal a rule allowing people to use the bathroom of the gender they identify with drew a substantial crowd at its first and only public hearing. SB 6443 passed 4-3 through the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee later last Wednesday, with four Republicans in favor and three Democrats opposed. A companion bill, HB 2935, has not been scheduled for a House committee public hearing. The Washington State Human Rights Commission created a rule based on a 2006 non-discrimination law for sexual identity passed by the state Legislature. The rule says people must be allowed to use gender-segregated places that match their gender identity. The bathroom policy took effect Dec. 26. Republican Sen. Doug Ericksen of Ferndale is sponsoring Senate Bill 6443 to get rid of it. The new bill would prevent the commission from further creating rules concerning gender-segregated locations.
Men in women’s locker room Ericksen dubbed the rule “men in the women’s locker room.” He said the rule was problematic because of the implementation process, the content of the rule and that “nobody heard about it.” “There’s an expectation that parents have with regards of when they take their kids to school of who will use which locker room, who will use which bathroom,” he said to the committee. He also said businesses would be negatively affected by the rule, but that this was a compromise bill because it allowed individual businesses to institute the rule. Laura Lindstrand, a policy analyst for the Human Rights Commission, said in an interview that the rule was
put in place to clarify the 2006 law. Proponents of the bill said the rule opens doors for sexual predators and human traffickers and that the rulemaking process was unsound. “It’s an attack on our process of democracy. This did not go through a legislative process. This is a group of unelected officials,” Angela Connelly, president of the Washington Women’s Network, said of the rule and rulemaking process.
‘Everyone is protected’ “We need to make sure that everyone is safe and everyone is protected. We need to go back and rethink this.” The Washington Women’s Network is a women’s advocacy group that walked in the March for Life at the capitol earlier this month. Paul MacLurg, owner of Thrive Community Fitness in Lacey, said he could lose business because of the rule. He also said he should be able to protect people within his business. “Before this rule was in place the law allowed me to use my best judgment. “Now, I have no good choices, no protection from the law,” MacLurg said. “This is not a gender issue. This is common sense, safety, decency and a privacy issue.” Opponents said repealing the rule would put transgender people, who are at a higher risk of sexual assault than other people, in more danger. They also said the 2006 law has not resulted in problems that proponents are worried about. “Trans people are already a part of your community. It is understandably easy to fear the unknown, but we must appeal to our better nature and confront fear with facts,” said Jennifer Popkin of Seattle. “Transgender women like me are women. On a personal level I can’t imagine using a men’s bathroom.” Ryan Trainer of Federal Way said his young daughter is transgender. “She is who she is and she arrived
this way whether we knew it or not,” he told the committee. “She is deserving of respect and protection just like all of the children in Washington state. My transgender child is not a threat, nor will she be when she grows up into a beautiful transgender woman.” Lindstrand said the commission held four public meetings and one public comment meeting to create the rule. By law, the commission is required to hold one public meeting and one public-comment meeting before registering rules. A question-and-answer document created by the commission said, “The rules do not protect persons who go into a restroom or locker room under false pretenses. . . . The rules do not prohibit asking legitimate questions about a person’s presence in a gendersegregated facility.”
‘Challenging subject matter’ At an executive session later Wednesday, Sen. Michael Baumgartner, R-Spokane, chairperson of the Labor and Commerce Committee, said, “This is a very challenging subject matter. “I do think everyone in our state deserves rights and protections. The challenge here is how to protect everyone.” Sen. Steve Conway, D-South Tacoma, said, “The bill you’re passing here basically is prohibiting this commission from ever taking up this issue again. “I find we are running at an issue because of people’s fears. We should all be cautious when moving too quickly with issues like this. “We should really be careful with what we’re doing.”

House to debate Iran sanctions; Senate resumes energy work PENINSULA DAILY NEWS NEWS SERVICES
Eye on Congress the Senate last Thursday expanded the role of nuclear power in a wide-ranging energy bill (S 2012) that remained in debate. In part, the amendment directs the Department of Energy to establish a “national innovation center” at which the government and private sector would jointly develop advanced technologies for nuclear reactors. The amendment also takes steps aimed at putting a four-year limit on the time allowed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for processing licensing applications for new reactors. Nuclear power accounted for nearly 20 percent of electricity generated in the U.S. in 2014. The nation has 61 commercially operating nuclear plants located in 30 states. Sponsor Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, said his amendment “will do a number of very critical things to help the United States increase . . . its lead in nuclear-energy development globally.” No senator spoke against the amendment. A yes vote was to expand federal involvement in the nuclear-power industry.

The vote occurred as the Senate started lengthy debate on a bill (S 2012, above) that would advance fossil-fuel, nuclear and renewable energy production in the U.S. while improving domestic infrastructure for transporting energy supplies. Edward Markey, D-Mass., said: “Exporting American crude oil could be a disaster for independent refineries in regions such as the East Coast. Upwards of 55 percent of our refining capacity [there] could potentially close as a result of oil exports.” No senator spoke against the amendment. A yes vote backed a study by the investigative arm of Congress of crude-oil exports. A yes vote was to adopt the amendment. Cantwell and Murray voted yes.

Friends and refugees in need NOW IN HIS last year in office, President Barack Obama is in legacy mode. He has much to be proud of. But if he doesn’t want Thomas L. his achievements muddied Friedman by foreign policy, he’ll spend his last year redoubling his efforts to contain the Middle East refugee crisis before it goes from a giant humanitarian problem to a giant geostrategic problem that shatters America’s most important ally: the European Union. I know — putting “European Union” into the lead of a column published in America is like a “Do Not Read” sign. Maybe I should call it “Trump’s European Union.” That would go viral. But for the two of you still reading, this is really important. The meltdowns of Syria, Somalia, Eritrea, Mali, Chad and Yemen and our takedowns of Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan — without proper follow-up on our part, NATO’s part or by local elites — has uncorked the worst
refugee crisis since World War II. This tidal wave of migrants and refugees is a human tragedy, and their outflow from Syria and Libya in particular is destabilizing all the neighboring islands of decency: Tunisia, Jordan, Lebanon, Kurdistan and Turkey. And now it is eating away at the fabric of the EU as well. Why should Americans care? Because the EU is the United States of Europe — the world’s other great center of democracy and economic opportunity. It has its military shortcomings, but with its wealth and liberal values, the EU has become America’s primary partner in addressing climate change, managing Iran and Russia and containing disorder in the Middle East and Africa. This partnership amplifies American power and, if the EU is hobbled or fractured, America will have to do so many more things around the world with much less help. At a seminar in Davos, Switzerland, sponsored by the Wilson Center, I interviewed David Miliband, president of the International Rescue Committee, which oversees relief operations in more than 30 war-affected countries. He made several key points.
First, one in every 122 people on the planet today is “fleeing a conflict” at a time when wars between nations “are at a record low,” said Miliband, a former British foreign secretary. Why? Because we now have nearly 30 civil wars underway in weak states that are “unable to meet the basic needs of citizens or contain civil war.” Second, he said, last year, the rescue committee assisted 23 million refugees and internally displaced individuals. Some 50 percent of those going to Europe come directly out of Syria and most of the rest come from Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and Eritrea — and the international humanitarian relief system “is now being overwhelmed by the numbers.” Last year, within the EU bloc there were 56 million truck crossings between countries and every day 1.7 million crossings by people. Preserving that free movement of trucks, trade and people, Miliband added, is a huge “economic prize,” but it will not be sustained if EU countries feel swamped by refugees who can’t be properly registered or absorbed. More and more countries are now sealing their borders, and

anti-immigrant parties are rising everywhere. Sweden has imposed border controls, and its ultranationalist Sweden Democrats party has grown from the fringe to one of the largest. Many in Germany, Sweden and Austria, which have accepted the lion’s share of refugees so far, want to seal off Greece from the EU’s passport-free internal travel zone if Greece — the first port of entry of many refugees — is unable or unwilling to hold them. In the past few days, The Guardian reported, national leaders and top EU officials warned “that Europe’s passportfree travel zone could crumble within weeks, risking the dissolution of the union.” Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany was well intentioned when she opened her country to 1.1 million Arab, African and Afghan migrants last year, but it was also reckless of her to think that so many immigrants, primarily Muslims, could be properly absorbed so quickly into society in German — a country that took two decades and billions of dollars to absorb East Germans. Merkel’s open-door policy drew even more refugees to the EU, and now that the Germans want to stop the flow, their neighbors won’t take them.
“This refugee crisis is a real arrow pointed at the heart of the European Union,” said Miliband. “There is no solution that confines itself within the borders of Europe.” As long as there is “war without law and without end in Syria,” the refugee flow will continue, with all its destabilizing implications. Obama did not cause this Syria problem, and he can’t fix it alone — but it’s not going to get fixed without U.S. leadership. I have shared the president’s caution about getting involved on the ground in Syria. But I now believe we need to take another look at establishing some kind of U.S./EU/NATO safe zone inside Syria and Libya to create space for refugees to remain in these countries. It’s not a panacea or cost-free, but letting this refugee disaster fracture the EU will be a lot more expensive.

Cheap oil isn’t bad for environment IT STOOD TO reason that collapsing prices for oil would make clean energy relatively more expensive. That would dampen the public’s craving to install solar panels and build wind turbines. Well, let’s try to reason Froma again. A lot of opposing forces Harrop are shaking the old assumptions. In the jaws of bargain oil, the U.S. Department of Energy expects Americans to increase their use of renewable power this year by almost 10 percent. Why is this time different? Consider solar power. Over the past 18 months, the price of oil has fallen by 75 percent, yet the installation of solar panels proceeds apace. The advocacy group Solar
Foundation reports that jobs in solar energy increased last year by more than 20 percent. Most of them were for installers. As for wind power, Denmarkbased Vestas, one of the big three wind-turbine companies, says that business continues to boom in North America, Asia, Africa and Latin America. Its stock price doubled last year. What’s going on? For starters, while the price of oil has fallen, so have the costs of green energy technologies. For another, strangling air pollution in China and India has fed a desire for clean energy greater than the urge to find the cheapest source. And international alarm over carbon’s role in global warming has taken root in concrete ways. It appears that vows to cut fossilfuel use at the Paris climatechange summit are being taken seriously. In this country, Congress recently extended tax credits for new wind and solar projects.

President Obama’s Clean Power Plan, meanwhile, is requiring states to cut power-plant emissions. Sharply lower oil and gas prices have translated into enormous savings for consumers. Some developing countries have used their newfound cash to cut subsidies for gasoline. Countries dependent on imported oil are using the savings to invest in wind power, according to Vestas. Drops in oil prices act like tax cuts, and American consumers may be spending some of their bounty on SUVs and trucks. That’s not great environmental news. On the other hand, SUVs and trucks are now so much more fuel-efficient than in the past. Within the fossil-fuel world, a sharp drop in oil prices has rearranged the economics with environmental benefits. As The Economist magazine explained, “Cheap oil has a green lining, as it drags down the global prices of natural gas,
which crowds out coal, a dirtier fuel.” Another green lining is that it makes drilling in hard-to-reach places, such as the Arctic, less economically feasible. This offered good timing for Obama’s proposal to extend “wilderness” designation to millions of the acres in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Drilling and mining are offlimits in wilderness-designated areas. ANWR has long been a battleground between environmentalists and oil companies. Some economists worry that the oil-price “tax cut” isn’t doing much for the American economy because consumers seem to mostly be saving the money instead of spending. Cheer up. Saving should be regarded as deferred spending, and in any case, it’s about time Americans amassed an economic cushion. Of course, the drop in energy prices has hurt oil-and-gas-producing parts of this country,

Alaska in particular. Happily, the economies of oil-producing Texas and North Dakota have become considerably diversified. Energy is not the only game. Certainly, oil and gas are not. Texas has become America’s biggest producer of wind-powered electricity. Renewable energy is not the environmental plaything mocked years ago by the drilling interests and their politicians. Two months ago, in the midst of an oil-price tumble, Goldman Sachs said it was quadrupling its bet in alternative energy to $150 billion. Hard numbers have clearly taken over the debate, and clean energy is winning.

Seattle plans to stay on message
PC comes up clutch Pirates hit important foul shots BY MICHAEL CARMAN PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
THE MARINERS’ RECENT pre-spring training media luncheon was the last chance for those of us grounded in the Pacific Northwest to ask questions of the team’s top brass before they pack up their bags and head to Arizona for spring training. So naturally all the attention Nick was on the big Patterson guns, general manager Jerry Dipoto and manager Scott Servais, who were the final two speakers of the day. However, what I found to be the most startling admission didn’t come from Dipoto or Servais. Instead it came moments earlier from someone I didn’t even think would be worth recording, assistant general manager Jeff Kingston. Kingston is someone I wouldn’t have been able to pick out of a lineup before a name card was placed in front of him, and now that his brief stint as interim GM is long over I fully expected him to recede into the background. But if Kingston was merely there to serve as one of the opening acts to the two headliners, it was a comment from him that struck me the hardest.
Management let pair down “One of the toughest decisions that I had to make was how to handle Mike Zunino and Chris Taylor,” said Kingston, who served as Seattle’s interim general manager from the time the Mariners fired Jack Zduriencik last Aug. 28 and hired Dipoto on Sept. 28. “The biggest takeaway that I got from talking to some of those players and the feedback I received was: Where we failed as an organization was in our consistent commu- Taylor nication to the players, and to those two in particular. It’s hard enough to hit in the major leagues — arguably it’s the hardest thing to do in professional sports — and when our players were getting messages from different voices and different ideas of what they should and shouldn’t be doing from a hitting standpoint, it really made it difficult on them.” It was an astounding admission of culpability, particularly from someone who spent a grand total of one month at the head of baseball operations. There’s no way Kingston is solely to blame, if he’s responsible at all. But his mea culpa illustrates just why everything Dipoto and Servais have said about culture change and communication is so important for the future of the Mariners. Zunino and Taylor were two of Seattle’s biggest disappointments in 2015. They’re young players who rocketed through the minor leagues, with Zunino beginning the season as the starting catcher and Taylor making a case for being the regular shortstop. The hope was they could, at 24, be part of a young core that would bury the Mariners’ reputation for being unable to develop quality position players. Instead, Zunino and Taylor flopped. Zunino, the former thirdoverall pick in the amateur draft, batted .174 and struck out in 34 percent of his plate appearances. Taylor, who has a .315 career batting average in the minors, hit .170 and fanned in 30 percent of his. Rather than leading the Mariners into 2016, it’s a very realistic possibility both begin the season at AAA. TURN

Peninsula’s Darrion Daniels drives to the lane around the defense of Shoreline’s Ben Steinbrueck during the Pirates’ 70-65 Northwest Athletic Conference win.
PORT ANGELES —Discarded water cups litter the space near the Peninsula College men’s basketball team’s bench after every game. There must have been something in the water in those cups Saturday — a possible explanation for the 12 consecutive made free throws the Pirates converted in the final 3:46 of play to pull out a 70-65 victory against Shoreline. “We didn’t overlook Shoreline,” Peninsula coach Mitch Freeman said. “They run good action and they have some guys who can really knock down shots. “It was a nailbiter, for sure.” The Pirates (5-2, 12-9) now sit in second place in Northwest Athletic Conference North Region play after a homestand sweep of Skagit Valley and Shoreline. Peninsula scored the first eight points against the Dolphins Saturday, and led by as much as 32-16 with five minutes left in the first half. Three-point shooting was key for the Pirates’ early advantage. Chris Reis knocked down three treys and Ryley Callaghan drained two early triples for Peninsula. Shoreline dug in, using a 9-0 run to cut into the Pirates’ lead and trail 35-27 at halftime. TURN

Pirates survive scrappy Dolphins Cherish Moss fills up stat sheet as Peninsula controls NWAC contest BY MICHAEL CARMAN PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — The dog days aren’t just limited to the warm temperatures of August. Sometimes they can crop up on a cold winter day in the middle of a long slog through the Northwest Athletic Conference North Region schedule. The Peninsula College women’s basketball team did enough to win in relatively easy fashion in a 67-45 triumph over Shoreline on Saturday. “I just wanted to get through the game and get to a week of practice where we could prepare for the second half,” Pirates coach Alison Crumb said. “I thought we shot kind of off, but overall we did some good things.” Peninsula controlled the game from the opening tip, rolling to a 14-6 lead after one quarter, and a 33-15 advantage at halftime. “I thought we controlled possession and we built a pretty sizeable lead,” Crumb said. This despite playing in a crowded but quiet gym and
against a team with nothing to lose. “It was a tough kind of environment for the team to play in a little bit,” Crumb said. “It was kind of awkwardly quiet, which is fine. “And Shoreline was super scrappy, they’d run three people at the ball or fly five people into an offensive rebound. “We are just not used to seeing that because if it works, great, but if it doesn’t we usually get an easy layup out of it. “They were really playing with no fear or no care at all and coming after us. And at times I thought we handled it fairly well.” The Dolphins outscored Peninsula 15-14 in the third quarter, taking advantage of some Peninsula turnovers. The Pirates coughed up the ball 19 times, compared to 15 for Shoreline. “We just aren’t used to playing that out of control and it forced us to play a little more out of control than we are accustomed to,” Crumb said.

Zunino still a part of Mariners’ plans BY BOB DUTTON MCCLATCHY NEWS SERVICE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Seattle catcher Mike Zunino was rushed to the majors and is likely to play for Triple-A Tacoma this season.
SEATTLE — With the Mariners acquiring two new catchers Chris Iannetta and Steve Clevenger, this offseason, it begs the question: What is Mike Zunino’s status with the organization? Zunino, still just 24, spent much of the last two-plus seasons as the Mariners’ starting catcher before his continuing struggles at the plate prompted a demotion last August to Triple-A Tacoma. “We’ve been very open,” general manager Jerry Dipoto said. “Chris Iannetta is going to be the [starting] catcher if all is
right and he is healthy, but Mike comes in and we’re not holding him back from accomplishing whatever he can accomplish. “Our goal is that we have the opportunity to start him in Tacoma and watch his season develop. Mike went to the big leagues awfully quickly. To get to the big leagues in under 1,000 plate appearances is a quick journey. “To do it in under 500 is a very quick journey.” Zunino had just 319 minorleague plate appearances before he made his big-league debut . And it showed in the play of 2012’s third overall draft pick. TURN

He then hit two more in a 1-and-1 situation with under 3 minutes to play for a 60-52 Pirates lead. Dixon hit a pair, Amos managed another two makes and the Peninsula lead was six, 64-58, with 1:18 to go. Still, Shoreline managed to pull within two, 64-62 with 34.9 seconds to play. But the Pirates’ shots stayed true from the line. Mayeux cashed in two freebies, and Daniels two more for a 68-62 lead with less than 20 seconds to play. A Dixon layup after an Amos rebound and outlet pass sealed the deal for Peninsula. “I was really proud of what we did defensively for the full 40 minutes,” Free-
man said. “We changed it up a little bit, but for the most part we were in man-to-man, and we got stops when we needed to. “And hit our free throws, yes. That was so important.” The win concluded the first half of North Region play for the Pirates. Peninsula trails firstplace Edmonds (6-1, 17-3) by a game, and the Tritons will pay Port Angeles a visit at 6 p.m. Saturday. The top two teams in each region earn the right to host a playoff game.

Snedeker closes with 69, then waits to see if it’s enough BY DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — Brandt Snedeker called it one of the best rounds he ever played, one he doubts he could repeat if he had to start over. Still to be determined was whether his 3-under 69 in a raging wind and occasional rain Sunday at Torrey Pines would be good enough to win the Farmers Insurance Open. He has to wait until today to find out. Not long after Snedeker finished, the final round was suspended for the third and final time because of unplayable conditions. The wind was so fierce that the South Course was evacuated as the gusts started to push out windows in tents. “It’s like playing a British Open on a U.S. Open setup,” Snedeker said.
In gusts that frequently topped 40 mph, he delivered a major performance. Snedeker played the final 17 holes without a bogey. Of the 23 players who finished the round, 11 of them shot in the 80s and their average score was 78.9. Snedeker’s one regret was not getting up-anddown for birdie on the par-5 18th hole, fearing that might leave him short of another unlikely victory at Torrey Pines. He posted at 6-under 282. As he stood on the 18th tee with the wind at his back, the final group of Jimmy Walker, K.J. Choi and Scott Brown were above him on the ninth tee headed in the other direction. When play was halted, Walker was at 7 under, one shot ahead of Snedeker and
Golf Choi. The final group was through 10 holes. “This course is so tough,” Snedeker said. “It’s blowing 25 mph, gusting out there and windy and rainy conditions. It’s really tough. I wish I could say why I shot what I shot today. It was one of those days where you throw everything out of your mind and go play golf land grind as best as you possibly could.” The next best score to Snedeker was a 73 by Shane Lowry of Ireland. There already were 11 rounds in the 80s, and there was certain to be many more. The South Course is a beast in reasonable weather. Throw in the wind and rain, especially on the holes exposed by the bluffs along
the Pacific, and this was as tough as it gets. Billy Horschel hit a 5-iron on the par-3 third hole, which played 147 yards straight downhill. He came up well short of the green. In the same group, Colt Knost hit a long putt that actually blew slightly backward into the hole. “The first six holes were the hardest I’ve ever played in,” said Chad Campbell, who grew up in West Texas and made no apologies for his 79 while playing alongside Snedeker. “Brandt played one of the best rounds I’ve ever seen. I don’t think he missed a shot.” He won at Torrey Pines in 2012 by rallying from seven shots in the final round, needing help from a triple bogey by Kyle Stanley on the final hole to beat him in a playoff.

“I thought she played the best out of anybody for us.” Zhara Laster added six points, 11 rebounds and two steals for Peninsula. The Pirates (6-1, 15-5) have completed the first half of North Region play and are in a first-place tie with Bellevue (6-1, 16-4) and Skagit Valley (6-1, 16-7). Peninsula hosts perennial NWAC-bottom feeder Edmonds (1-6, 2-17) at 4 p.m. Saturday. “We start the second half with some of the lower[echelon] teams in the region and we have an opportunity to work on ourselves and put ourselves in a good position for the playoffs,” Crumb said.
“But nobody got hurt and we got to play a lot of different players.” The Dolphins may have been scrappy, but they also were never much of a threat to make a run and make a close game against Peninsula. “Second half we got to rotate a lot of people,” Crumb said. “That was important to me.

Sources: Megatron set to announce retirement BY ADAM SCHEFTER ESPN.COM
Detroit Lions star receiver Calvin Johnson told his family and a close circle of friends before the past season that 2015-16 would be his final season in the NFL. He delivered the same message to coach Jim Caldwell the day after the regular season ended, sources told ESPN. Caldwell told Johnson not to rush his decision and to take his time, sources told ESPN. Out of respect to Caldwell, Johnson agreed to do just that, according to sources.
The Lions have not given up hope that Johnson will change his mind, but one person who knows Johnson well said, “He’s pretty content with his decision.” After nine seasons in the NFL, Johnson’s body is beaten down. The five-time Pro Bowler has battled lingering ankle injuries and general body soreness to the point that it would be difficult for him to return for another season, during which he would turn 31 years old. Johnson shared his decision to retire with only two teammates Matthew Stafford and Stephen Tulloch.

UW women beat Cal
CONTINUED FROM B1 But according to Kingston, the likes of Zunino, Taylor and the rest of Seattle’s unending list of prospect flameouts at the major-league level are not the problem. They are merely the symptom of a disease, and its eradication is at the top of Dipoto’s and Servais’ priority list. Since being hired Dipoto has stressed the need for the Mariners to improve their communication throughout the organization. He’s talked about the need to have a common terminology that spans the majors all the way to rookie ball, making the transition easier when players move through the levels. The first step in making that happen occurred during the first week of January. That’s when the Mariners held a hitting summit at their complex in Peoria, Ariz. Coaches and players from every level of the organization were brought together to learn the language and get on board with Dipoto’s philosophy of controlling the strike zone.
BERKELEY, Calif. — Kelsey Plum scored 28 points, surpassing 2,000 for her career, and No. 25 Washington defeated California 75-65 on Sunday. Plum, third on the Husky career list (2,025) reached 2,000 in 88 games, fastest in Pac 12 history. Chantel Osahor had 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Huskies (16-5, 7-3), who bounced back from a 69-53
loss at Stanford after making the Top 25 for the first time in 13 seasons. Asha Thomas hit six 3-pointers and had 22 points for the Golden Bears (11-10, 2-8). The Huskies led 38-34 at the half but stretched that to 58-47 after three quarters. Cal was within 62-57 with 6:04 to play but Plum made two free throws and Osahor and Alexus Atchley had layups to make it 68-57 at 3:47.
Seattle shortstop Chris Taylor recently attended a hitting summit at the team’s training complex in Peoria, Ariz. Taylor hit just .170 last season. Among the players who attended were Zunino and Taylor. “The biggest thing for me is the ability to communicate,” Dipoto said. “If we’re effectively communicating up to down and side to side, then the ball doesn’t drop. The players always know where they’re supposed to be, they’re always in a position
to succeed. “It’s all going to be about the culture that we develop,” Dipoto added. “We will make strategic mistakes, we will have injuries, every team does. The one thing we cannot do is we can’t allow our culture to rattle.” That means no more mixed messages for young players like Zunino
and Taylor. And the Mariners are banking it will give their young prospects an environment in which to succeed, rather than repeat the failures of the past.

Djokovic wins 6th Australian title, Murray loses 5th final BY JOHN PYE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MELBOURNE, Australia — In five previous Australian Open wins, Novak Djokovic had never felt so much love. After maintaining his perfect record in six finals at Melbourne Park — and extending his old friend Andy Murray’s streak to five losses from five championship deciders Down Under — Djokovic had hundreds of Serbian fans singing and chanting his name so loudly he could barely
hear questions in a TV interview. While Djokovic was still celebrating his 6-1, 7-5, 7-6 (3) victory, equaling Roy Emerson’s record of six Australian titles, Murray was rushing for the airport to catch a flight back to Britain to reunite with his pregnant wife. “I never experienced this much crowd and this much love,” Djokovic said. “I’ve had the fortune to win this trophy now six times, but I never experienced such support.” Djokovic has won the
Tennis last three Grand Slam titles, and four of the last five, to lift his career haul to 11 — equaling Rod Laver and Bjorn Borg in fifth place on the all-time list. “I don’t take anything for granted, even though I won last four out of five Grand Slams, played five finals, it’s phenomenal,” said Djokovic, reflecting on a period of time in which he was married, became a father and only lost one match in five
major championships — the final of the French Open. “No doubt that I’m playing the best tennis of my life in the last 15 months. “Everything is going well privately, as well, so I feel like I’m at the point in my life where everything is working in harmony. I’ll try to keep it that way.” His next objective is a first Grand Slam title on clay to complete his collection. Djokovic has reached three finals at Roland Garros, but never won the French Open.

DEAR ABBY: My friend “Steve” is in his mid-20s and became a father a few months ago. He’s happy and excited about it, and he’s good with the baby. He has been living with the mother, “Nina,” who is a few years older, for a while now. Nina is also a friend of mine, and this is her second child. My problem is that Steve told me some time before his son was born that he thinks he is gay. He wants to wait until Nina recovers from the pregnancy and finds a job before he tells her. I know he intends on being as big a part of the child’s life as possible. As much as I don’t want Nina to be a single mother twice over, it doesn’t seem good for her, Steve or the children to stay in a sham relationship. How can he break the news to her in a way that won’t jeopardize his chance to be a father to his son? Concerned in West Virginia

Dear Abby: I am dating an awesome man who happens to be married. He and his wife have been separated for 10 years and they still talk to each other, but they are not living together. “Mr. Right” is retired from the military and says they are still married because of her health issues and the fact that she can’t afford health care on her own. Should we continue to see each other? His Honey in Houston Dear Honey: If you are satisfied with the relationship, enjoy it for what it is. But if you aspire to anything more, this man is not in a position to give it to you. Instead of referring to him as “Mr. Right,” it might be more accurate to call him “Mr. Right for Now.”

DEAR ABBY
Dear Concerned: This will have to be handled delicately because Nina may be clueless about Steve’s sexual orientation. Expect her to be hurt and furious when she gets the news. It was reckless of Steve to have had unprotected sex with Nina under these circumstances. That said, gay men can be great parents, and the focus should be on successful co-parenting of the child. If Steve were straight and found another woman, or fell out of love with Nina, it would affect the relationship in much the same way as his realization that he is gay. In either of those scenarios, the baby must be raised with love and consistency, whether the parents are coupled or not. Steve’s moral responsibility to his son will last forever. Gay or straight, Steve will always be that child’s father. His financial responsibility will last until the boy is no longer a minor.
