10 minutes on a bulldozer: Barry Alan Swiegel climbed aboard his logging bulldozer he kept at his home in the eastern Port Angeles neighborhood known as Gales Addition. About 10 minutes later, the heavy equipment had smashed four homes, a pickup truck, a boat and multiple sheds and other outbuildings — in addition to toppling a Clallam County Public Utility District power pole that knocked out power to thousands of electricity customers. The unusual incident May 10 was reported worldwide, tourists flocked to see the swath of destruction, and months later the
Port Angeles “bulldozer man” was featured on a primetime TV news magazine. Swiegel What hasn’t been reported nearly as widely are Swiegel’s mental issues that have slowly come out in the judicial process since May. During the summer, he brought a show-and-tell bag of dead bugs from his jail cell into the courtroom. And psychologists trying to determine his fitness for a criminal trial have written in a report that Swiegel believed that a scar on his chin was a remnant of his “crucifixion” in his Gales Addition garage.

The nation’s largest dam-removal project has contained many first-time opportunities for engineers and scientists gauging the freeing of a mighty river.

Clallam FROM PRECEDING PAGE One of the miscalculations was the amount of sediment traveling from the former Lake Mills behind Glines Canyon Dam to the Strait of Juan de Fuca — and past the water treatment plant set up to provide water to Port Angeles and environs. Muck stuck in the plant’s intakes shut down the entire dam-removal project in October 2012. By October 2013 and $3.8 million in treatment plant upgrades, the restoration project is on track. A mere stub of the formerly 210-foot Glines Canyon Dam remains, and it will be gone this year. The river sediment provided scientists with plenty of other aspects to study, including the growth of beaches near the river mouth and, sadly, the deaths of nearly 200,000
smolts from a fish-rearing channel in April. Another release of smolts in late May found far fewer dead fish along the banks.

The little high school that can. Neah Bay High School cut a statewide profile in December when it won its second 1B football title in three years. A huge turnout of fans in the Tacoma Dome watched as the eight-man football team, behind state Player of the Year quarterback Josiah Greene, made easy work of Touchet 36-18 to win the 2013 championship. But that’s not the only accolade at Neah Bay High. Back in June, all 20 members of the Class of 2013 graduated, leaving none behind for the third straight year. Furthermore, valedictorian Joey Monje was accepted to 12 colleges, and

his 19 classmates held either a college or university acceptance letter or had enlisted in military service. Principal Ann Renker attributes Neah Bay’s success in the classroom and on the field to the school’s graduation plan — known simply as “the plan” — in which all students are tracked to make sure each is on the right trajectories for graduation and lives after high school.

Forks police have been at the center of a Facebook campaign to shut the operation down for more than the past year. Markwell, citing weariness over the constant protests — including pickets outside the warehouse at 1021 Russell Road — finally announced just two weeks ago that he would give up the dogs to animal rescue organizations in Utah and elsewhere. And then Olympic Animal Sanctuary, once featured in People magazine among other regional and national media, will be no more, Markwell said. He boarded 124 dogs — one had been ordered back to its owner Dec. 20 — into a semi trailer Dec. 21 and drove the dogs away from Forks and protesters to a location somewhere near the Nevada-Arizona border, reportedly to distribute the dogs among rescue groups. As of late last week, the dogs were in new kennels at the desert site.

The 175-foot smokestack of the former Peninsula Plywood mill — a landmark west of downtown Port Angeles since 1941 — falls to the ground April 8. The stack proved to be stronger than expected: Explosives failed to drop the stack, so demolition crews had to cut pieces of reinforcing steel by hand and then use an excavator to help fell the tower.

2013: The Year in Review
PENINSULA DAILY NEWS ❏ SEQUIM GAZETTE
Jefferson FROM PRECEDING PAGE Last year, the Port Townsend School District designed a plan to integrate aspects of maritime industry and knowledge into its curriculum. The concept of placebased learning centered around the unique maritime character and economy of Port Townsend is intended to prepare students for both maritime and non-maritime employment, school district officials said, while engaging children in rigorous academic studies that use their proximity to the water as a learning tool. The venture is a cooperative arrangement between the school district and the Northwest Maritime Center. At year’s end, the school district had begun a fundraising effort with a $750,000 goal, translating to $125 a year for each of the district’s projected 1,200
students over five years. Some aspects of the plan will become part of the curriculum starting this fall.

Taking a Flyer: One Port Townsend maritime adventure resulted from the dubious arrival of the Western Flyer, a mudencrusted vessel that was brought into the Port of Port Townsend for rehabilitation and repair in July. The presence would go unnoticed beyond its unsightliness at the Port of Port Townsend’s Boat Haven yard except for its noteworthy past with one of America’s greatest novelists. The 72-foot trawler was built by in 1937 and chartered in 1940 by Pulitzer Prize winning author John Steinbeck a for a six-week expedition to Mexico’s Gulf of California, also known as the Sea of Cortez. The boat was at the core of a close friendship between the author and Ed Ricketts, who inspired the

character Doc in Steinbeck’s Cannery Row. The Flyer continued into a checkered history — including two sinkings and raisings in Skagit County — as it passed into disrepair. Its current owner, Gerry Kehoe, took the mudencrusted vessel to Port Townsend to rebuild it for a move to Salinas, Calif., to become a Steinbeck museum. But Kehoe defaulted on the rent to the Port of Port Townsend for the boat, waiting until the day before the scheduled October eviction to pay the $1,100. Kehoe has not paid any additional rent since that CHARLIE BERMANT/PENINSULA DAILY NEWS time, and the port expects The mud-encrusted Western Flyer continues sitting on blocks in the Port that he could repeat the of Port Townsend boatyard. same cycle: waiting until the last minute to pay.

A $15 minimum wage goes from fantasy to possible reality: Voters in the airport city of SeaTac narrowly approved a $15 an hour minimum wage for many workers. The result placed Washington state at the forefront of the national debate over wages. Washington already has the nation’s highest state minimum wage at $9.19 an hour. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. Efforts to bring the $15 hourly wage requirement to Seattle will likely produce headlines in 2014.
