Trestle work to be unveiled

Clallam group eyes arrearage

The new 750-foot trestle connecting the Dungeness River Bridge to the western bank of the river is nearly completed and will be open to the public starting Thursday.

Dungeness River Bridge reopening before year’s end Grand opening for $1.53 million project planned for Dec. 30

BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

SEQUIM — About 10 months after being damaged and closed by flooding, the Dungeness River Bridge is set to reopen to the public this Thursday, the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe said Thursday.

The tribe owns the structure and adjacent Railroad Bridge Park at 2151 W. Hendrickson Road.

A grand opening ceremony to commemorate the near completion of the $1.53 million construction project is tentatively scheduled for 1 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 30.

“We are really pleased to be able to see it open in time for the holidays,” Annette Nesse, Jamestown S’Klallam chief operations officer, said Thursday.

Visitors now have a “sound, secure structure that should last for many, many years,” she said.

The tribe had initially scheduled the bridge to reopen earlier this month, but as “construction progressed, it looked like late December or early January,” Nesse said.

“I have to tip my hat and give a lot of kudos to Randy Johnson, our project manager, and also Nordland Construction, who have just done an amazing job of keeping that project moving forward and keeping in mind that the public is more than ready to have their structure back.”

PORT ANGELES — A new committee that will study state management of Clallam County timberlands will gather for the first time today.

The Clallam County Trust Lands Advisory Committee will appoint officers, review expectations and consider adding more members when it meets at 1:30 p.m. in Room 160 of the Clallam County Courthouse.

Over the next year, the ad hoc panel will examine the potential reconveyance of state trust lands back to the county for management.

Trust obligations Absent that measure, which would require legislative action, the committee was tasked by the Charter Review Commission to prod the state Department of Natural Resources to “promptly and adequately” fulfill its trust obligations to the county, junior taxing districts and citizenry.

The motivation behind the effort is arrearage — timber that the DNR identified for sale in 2004 but did not sell.

Forestry industry officials have said the 245 million board feet of arrearage on the 92,500 acres of DNR-managed timberland in Clallam County has resulted in mill closures and a considerable loss of revenue for trust beneficiaries.

Transformer explosion, flames snarl traffic PA intersection tied up for hours

BY ARWYN RICE PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — An electrical transformer exploded and burned near the intersection of Lincoln and First streets Thursday morning, tying up traffic at the busy intersection for three hours.

The transformer, located on a pole in the alley between Fitness West at 114 S. Lincoln St., and A New Leaf at 112 S. Lincoln St., burst into flames at about 10:15 a.m. Thursday.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

The first calls into the PenCom

9-1-1 center were at 10:17 a.m., according to dispatchers.

Port Angeles Fire Department and the Port Angeles city utility department responded to the blazing transformer within minutes.

Replaced, rewired

about an hour.

The road was partially reopened after fire equipment departed, with limited traffic as crews replaced the transformer.

While the cause of the explosion and fire were not known as of Thursday afternoon, the age of the transformer and the wiring around it are being examined, Fulton said.

“It’s an extremely rare occurrence,” he said.

Fulton said that once the cause is identified, crews will check the rest of the city’s grid to check if the same situation exists elsewhere.

City utility crews removed the transformer, replaced and rewired it and cleaned up the area, said Craig Fulton, public works director for the city of Port Angeles. ________ Five businesses in the area immediately around the fire were Reporter Arwyn Rice can be reached at without power until 1:13 p.m., 360-452-2345, ext. 5070, or at arice@ and Lincoln Street was closed for peninsuladailynews.com.

‘Concussion’ movie subject exaggerated?

IN THE TRAILER for the movie “Concussion,” star Will Smith says: “I found a disease that no one has ever seen.”

It’s a claim the real-life doctor portrayed by Smith, forensic pathologist Bennet Omalu, has himself made for years, giving a detailed description about how he came to name that disease “chronic traumatic encephalopathy.”

But Omalu neither discovered the disease nor named it, according to scientific journals and brain researchers interviewed by The Associated Press.

And though no one doubts that Omalu’s diagnosis of Pittsburgh Steelers center Mike Webster was pivotal in understanding football’s dangers, fellow

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dr. Bennet Omalu, left, and actor Will Smith pose together Monday at the cast photo call for the film “Concussion” at The Crosby Street Hotel in New York. researchers say Omalu goes too far when he publicly takes credit for naming or discovering CTE. “It’s just not true, and I think he knows that,” said William Stewart, a neuropathologist at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, Scotland.

“Chronic traumatic encephalopathy has been around for decades. It’s not a new term,” Stewart said.

“The only thing I would

say that Bennet has done is that he identified it in an American footballer.”

In a telephone call to the AP on Thursday, Omalu passionately defended his work and attributed the criticisms to “people historically who have made a systematic attempt to discredit me and to marginalize me.”

“This is totally false. And write that in a big font, that it is totally and completely false,” he shouted into the phone.

By The Associated Press

WALTER J. LEONARD, 86, the chief architect of an admissions process at Harvard that has been emulated across the United States, opening colleges and universities to more women and minorities, died Dec. 8 in Kensington, Md. The cause was complications of Alzheimer’s disease, said his wife, Betty.

The affirmative action formula that Dr. Leonard designed for Harvard allowed recruiters to take into account race and ethnicity, on a case-by-case basis, as one of many factors to consider as they sought to assemble a diverse student body.

Martha L. Minow, the Harvard Law School dean, said the plan “had a ripple effect across the nation” as other institutions, facing demands for greater diversity, adopted similar ones of their own.

The Harvard formula has passed four decades of constitutional muster, though the United States Supreme Court, in its current term, is revisiting rulings on similar policies in a case involving the University of Texas.

Even before he designed the admissions policy, Dr. Leonard was aggressively recruiting more diverse applicants to Harvard Law School.

Last week, the school’s bulletin, Harvard Law Today, credited him with building “the foundation for the education of more minority and women lawyers than almost any other administrator in the United States.”

Later, as president of Fisk University in Nashville, Tenn., for seven years, Dr. Leonard raised $12 million to restore a measure of fiscal stability to that histor-

ically black institution and even offered his $1.5 million personal life insurance policy as collateral for a Mr. loan to keep Leonard Fisk from closing.

Dr. Leonard became assistant dean and assistant director of admissions of Harvard Law School in 1969, when Derek C. Bok was dean.

By 1971, when Bok became president of Harvard and enlisted Dr. Leonard as his special assistant, the number of black, female and Latino students in the law school had substantially risen.

“The dramatic increase must be credited to Leonard’s persistent recruiting efforts,” The Harvard Crimson later wrote.

The admissions policy Dr. Leonard devised for the wider university, in collaboration with other Harvard educators, came in response to complaints from Washington that the existing program at Harvard no longer met minimum federal standards.

At the time, the university employed neither a black athletic trainer for its teams nor a black doctor in its clinic.

The new formula included race or ethnicity as a plus, among other factors,

Laugh Lines KIM AND KANYE’S 2-year-old daughter North has released her first tweet.

on an individual application for admission.

In 1978, the Supreme Court, upholding race as one factor that could be considered in college admissions in Regents of the University of California v.

Bakke, referred approvingly to what it called the Harvard plan, saying it weighed “all pertinent elements of diversity” in considering each applicant.

“The Harvard model provides a standard,” Prof. Ronald Dworkin of the New York University School of Law wrote in an essay for the book The Affirmative Action Debate (2002).

“If the admissions officers of other universities are satisfied that their plan is like the Harvard plan in all pertinent respects, they can proceed in confidence.”

That view, however, has been challenged. The Supreme Court is hearing a suit filed by a white woman against the University of Texas.

A separate federal lawsuit has been filed on behalf of a Chinese-American student who was denied admission and who maintains that the Harvard plan originally discriminated against Jewish applicants who had scored high on admissions tests, and that it now handicaps Asian-Americans.

And it wasn’t any Blue Monday today.

For first, across the shanty from the local union of the International Brotherhood of Papermakers, a check for $300 as Beacon’s share of the Papermakers’ ball.

A4 Briefly: Nation Ex-U.S. House Speaker Hastert suffers stroke CHICAGO — Former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert, awaiting sentencing in a hushmoney case, has suffered a stroke and was admitted to a hospital the first week of November, his attorney said Thursday in a statement.

Hastert also has been treated for sepsis, a potentially lifethreatening complication of infection, and had two back surgeries while Hastert in the hospital, attorney Tom Green’s statement said.

“We are very hopeful that Mr. Hastert will be released from the hospital in the early part of the new year,” Green said. “The family very much desires that during Mr. Hastert’s continued hospitalization his privacy will be respected.”

Hastert was accused in May of evading banking regulations as part of a plan to pay hush money to conceal “prior misconduct.”

The Associated Press and other media outlets, citing anonymous sources, have reported that Hastert wanted to hide claims that he sexually molested someone decades earlier.

The 73-year-old pleaded guilty Oct. 28 to a felony count of evading bank reporting laws in a

hush-money scheme.

In the written plea agreement, the Illinois Republican directly acknowledged for the first time that he sought to pay someone $3.5 million to hide misconduct

by Hastert against that person dating back several decades — about the time the longtime GOP leader was a high school wrestling coach.

Road-rage shootings TULSA, Okla. — A man sped through three counties in the night while firing randomly from his pickup truck, hitting at least four vehicles and killing two people on an Oklahoma interstate, police said.

Jeremy Doss Hardy, whom authorities said was the only person being investigated, surrendered early Thursday and was being held in jail.

Custer County Sheriff Bruce Peoples said reports came in at about 11:50 p.m. Wednesday of a man firing at vehicles on Interstate 40 in Canadian County, which is adjacent to Oklahoma City.

The man apparently continued driving west, firing at vehicles as he drove fast and erratically, the sheriff said.

“He shot so many vehicles that it would have been totally impractical to assume he knew them,” Peoples said, describing the case as a suspected road rage incident.

A man was fatally shot in the Caddo County town of Hydro and a woman was killed 10 miles away in Weatherford, authorities said.

Buyer of guns used in massacre is charged Friend of San Bernardino, Calif., shooters faces terrorism counts

BY BRIAN MELLEY AND ERIC TUCKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — The man who bought the assault rifles used by his friend in the San Bernardino massacre was charged Thursday with terrorism-related counts.

The FBI arrested Enrique Marquez, 24, on charges of conspiring with Syed Rizwan Farook to commit terrorist attacks in 2011 and 2012 that they never carried out.

Marquez was Farook’s nextdoor neighbor and longtime friend who converted to Islam and was radicalized by Farook, federal prosecutors said.

Marquez also was charged with illegally purchasing two assault rifles used by Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, to kill 14 people at a holiday gathering of Farook’s health department coworkers Dec. 2.

The shooters died hours later in a gunbattle with police.

Materials provide link Marquez had no role in the attack, but prosecutors said the guns and bomb-making materials he bought that the couple planned to detonate linked him to the killings.

“While there currently is no evidence that Mr. Marquez participated in the Dec. 2 attack or

had advance knowledge of it, his prior purchase of the firearms and ongoing failure to warn authorities about Farook’s intent to commit mass murder had fatal consequences,” U.S. Attorney Eileen Decker said.

Authorities previously said Marquez had legally purchased the high-powered guns.

The FBI investigated the rampage as an act of terrorism and said the Muslim couple were radicalized before they met online and communicated privately about jihad and martyrdom before they married.

President Barack Obama said he was briefed on the investigation Thursday and reiterated the federal government’s commitment to find answers to all the unknowns in the case.

Marquez had deep ties with Farook that extended to a family connection.

Briefly: World Putin praises Trump as ‘bright and talented’ MOSCOW — In Vladimir Putin’s view, Donald Trump is “bright and talented.”

But as much as those words sound overtly like praise, there are some murky nuances.

The most unequivocally Putin favorable part of the comments the Russian leader made Thursday to a scrum of reporters after his annual year-end news conference was about the Republican presidential aspirant’s claims that he wants to improve relations with Russia.

“He says that he wants to move to another, closer level of relations. Can we really not welcome that? Of course we welcome that,” Putin said.

Trump hasn’t given details about how he would go about achieving that.

Six-month deadline BRUSSELS — European Union leaders Thursday set a six-month deadline for deciding whether to push ahead with plans for a border guard agency that could deploy to member states unable or unwilling to manage their borders as thousands of migrants continue to

arrive in Europe daily.

The border and coast guard project is chiefly aimed at protecting Europe’s external borders in countries like Greece and Italy as people fleeing conflict or poverty for better lives in Europe overwhelm coast guards and reception facilities.

In a statement released during their summit in Brussels, the leaders tasked EU ministers to “rapidly examine” the scheme and to rule on its future by June 30 at the latest, side-stepping a potentially divisive debate Thursday over the issue.

‘Institutional failure’ UNITED NATIONS — The United Nations’ “gross institutional failure” to act on allegations that French and other peacekeepers sexually abused children in the Central African Republic led to even more assaults, according to a new report released Thursday.

One young boy who initially reported an attack on his friends more than a year ago now says he has been raped, too.

The independent panel found that the accounts by children as young as 9 of trading oral sex and other acts in exchange for food in the middle of a war zone in early 2014 were “passed from desk to desk, inbox to inbox, across multiple U.N. offices, with no one willing to take responsibility.”

Among those said to have looked the other way were the U.N. children’s agency, UNICEF, as well as human rights staffers.

Syria activists in hiding after Islamic State group killings

BY DOMINIQUE SOGUEL AND DESMOND BUTLER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ISTANBUL — The killing of the young Syrian activist took place close enough to his home in southern Turkey that his youngest brother heard his piercing scream.

Ibrahim Abdelqader’s attackers stabbed him dozens of times and left his partially decapitated corpse hanging from a doorframe.

His family and colleagues say he was killed by a secret operative from the Islamic State group who befriended him before the attack.

The message from ISIS was

Quick Read

clear: Its enemies are not safe, even across borders.

More than a month after the slaying of Abdelqader and his friend Fares Hamadi, the media collective that Abdelqader belonged to — which secretly documents life at the heart of the Islamic State group’s self-proclaimed caliphate — has been forced into deep hiding.

ISIS claimed responsibility ISIS claimed responsibility for the killings in a video message warning that “every apostate will be slaughtered silently.”

It was a grim riff on the media

collective’s name — Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently, a reference to the Syrian city of Raqqa that has become synonymous with ISIS and its efforts to build a caliphate.

Last month, the activist media group received the 2015 Committee to Protect Journalists’ International Press Freedom Award for its work in one of the most terrifying cities of the world, monitoring ISIS and countering its steady stream of propaganda with factual accounts.

Their reports from Raqqa have tackled everything from the conscription of children to the sexual slavery of Yazidi women brought from Iraq.

A SALEM MAN who beheaded his mother’s cat was sentenced to more than four years in prison after pleading guilty to animal abuse and drug charges.

Rudy Espinoza was arrested in June after neighbors called 911.

Deputies found him scratched and covered in blood.

Asked why he killed the cat, the man reportedly said it was because the cat was evil. Investigators got a search warrant to inspect his bedroom. That led to a charge of delivering the drug Ecstasy.

Marion County Judge Jamese Rhoades sentenced the 25-year-old man Thursday.

A NEBRASKA SHERIFF’S deputy jumped into the cab of a runaway semitrailer after the driver apparently passed out at the wheel, stopping the vehicle from possibly crashing off a busy viaduct bridge.

Deputies responding to a 9-1-1 call about a reckless semi on U.S. Highway 81 caught up with the truck in Madison County, but it wouldn’t stop.

The truck slowed as it neared Norfolk, 110 miles northwest of Omaha, allowing Deputy Todd Volk to leap into action. He jumped from a cruiser onto the highway, then into the truck’s cab, where he was able to stop the big rig on the bridge.

A MINNESOTA MOM said she said a little prayer before hoisting a basketball half-court and sinking her shot to win thousands of dollars off her daughter’s private school tuition.

Angela Ramey and her daughter, Grace, raised the most money in a school fundraiser at Bethany Academy in Bloomington, Minn., earning three chances to make the half-court shot and knock $4,000 off tuition next year.

Grace gave her mom the basketball and on the final try, Angela launched it under hand. It bounced, swished through the net and the crowd went wild. The mother and daughter screamed with joy.

THE UNITED STATES and Cuba have struck a deal to allow as many as 110 regular airline flights a day, allowing a surge of American travel to Cuba that could eventually flood the island with hundreds of thousands more U.S. visitors a year, officials said Thursday on the anniversary of detente between the Cold War foes.

The deal reached Wednesday night after three days of talks in Washington opens the way for U.S. airlines to negotiate with Cuba’s government for 20 routes a day to Havana and 10 to each of Cuba’s other nine major airports, the State Department said.

It will likely take months for flights to begin.

Lands: Arrearage focus of panel

‘Talk to each other’ Commissioner Bill Peach, one of two finalists for McEntire’s seat on the DNR board, said he, too, would work to eliminate arrearage in the next decade.

“I don’t think we’re going to get there unless we’re able to talk to each other,” Peach said.

“The old approach with ‘My bat is bigger than yours’ didn’t get us anywhere.”

Chapman also took issue with Kitchel’s suggestion that lower harvest levels have made it more difficult for school districts to pass bonds.

He noted that the recent Sequim school bond garnered 59.55 percent support in November’s election — a landslide in most elections — but needed a 60 percent supermajority to pass.

“Don’t equate school bonds to DNR’s lack of harvest,” Chapman told Kitchel.

Kitchel maintained that there is a connection between timber harvests and schools bonds.

“If you have a greater match coming in from the state, you’re going to run that school bond project for a lower dollar value, which then increases your probability it will pass,” Kitchel said.

Chapman said DNR must comply with state and federal laws, which have changed since the early 1990s.

“Some of these lands are probably unharvestable because of the law changes,” Chapman said.

“That’s something that the public needs to understand, too.”

Private companies must comply with the same laws, Kitchel said.

He added that more than 50 percent of DNR timberland can’t be harvested, while only 15 per-

cent to 20 percent of private timberland is locked up.

Kitchel said he did not mean to be critical of an agency that employs or has employed many of his friends.

“This all has become so wrapped around the axle of politics that the trust mandate, trust issues and stuff are being left behind,” Kitchel said.

Commissioner Jim McEntire, who leaves office at the end of this month, has served on the six-member state Board of Natural Resources that guides DNR resource management.

“The board has, to a person, expressed the desire not to be back 10 years hence where we are today with a substantial number of acres in arrears,” McEntire said.

“The board unanimously has expressed a wish — not that any of them will be there at that point to make the decision 10 years from now — but we don’t want to leave a future board the same set of difficulties that we’re coping with right now.”

BY ARWYN RICE PENINSULA DAILY NEWS SENIOR CHIEF PETTY OFFICER CORY WADLEY/U.S. COAST GUARD

Crew members of the fishing vessel Norn are reunited with loved ones after their vessel took on water and sank 38 miles west of La Push on Thursday.

Coast Guard rescues three after their fishing boat sinks PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

LA PUSH — Three fishermen were reunited with family members after their boat sank in violent weather nearly 40 miles west of La Push.

U.S. Coast Guard units from La Push and Port Angeles worked together in dark, stormy conditions to pluck the fishermen from a life raft 38 miles from shore in the Pacific Ocean.

Fishermen from the 38-foot fishing vessel FV Norn broadcast a mayday call at about 3:11 a.m. Thursday and reported the vessel was taking on water, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

A 47-foot motor lifeboat crew from Coast Guard Station Quillayute River and an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Coast Guard Air Station/Sector Field Office Port Angeles responded to the distress call.

The distress call was followed by a signal from an emergency position-indicating radio beacon registered to the Norn, and the Norn’s radio operator said the crew was putting on their survival gear and preparing to abandon ship into a life raft.

The Coast Guard reported the temperature was 38 degrees with 40 mph winds, rain, 14-foot seas and

48-degree water.

While en route, the rescue crews lost contact with the Norn, the Coast Guard said.

At about 5:10 a.m., the air crew located the Norn’s life raft but was unable to lower a rescue swimmer due to severe weather conditions.

Air crew members guided the motor lifeboat crew to the life raft’s location, and all three fishermen were taken aboard the Coast Guard vessel and their life raft recovered.

No one was injured during the rescue, the Coast Guard said.

The fishermen were transported to Coast Guard

Station Quillayute River, where they were reunited with their families.

“I must commend the outstanding collaboration between both Coast Guard crews, as well as the fishermen for having and using multiple means of emergency communication and proper survival tools, ” said Senior Chief Petty Officer Scott Brazier, Joint Harbor Operations Center supervisor at Sector Puget Sound.

“The preparedness of the fishing vessel crew was instrumental in ensuring their own safety until our crews were able to rescue them,” Brazier said.

Gabbard was hired by Jackson in July 2014, replacing interim assistant superintendent Mary Ann Unger, who had replaced Michelle Reid in July 2013.

Finance director David Knechtel and human resources director Scott Harker are both in their first year at the Port Angeles School District.

OMC stuffs its stocking USPS says mailing with imaging equipment marijuana ads illegal

BY JAMES CASEY PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — Talk about a holiday sale: Hospital District 2 commissioners approved spending nearly $2.6 million for new imaging equipment at Olympic Medical Center and its Sequim satellite clinic Tuesday — an amount they said netted end-of-year and bulk-buy savings.

The hospital and clinic will receive the new hardware and software between March and August, according to Dr. Scott Kennedy, OMC’s chief medical officer.

The purchases include: ■ A major upgrade to the medical resonance imaging unit in Sequim.

■ A software upgrade to the MRI in Port Angeles.

■ Flywheel electric generators in both locations to protect against power

surges that can knock the MRIs offline for one to two days and progressively degrade their power sources.

The Sequim MRI suite will require remodeling to accommodate the flywheel.

■ Six regular and two portable ultrasound units, one each for the hospital intensive care unit and its operating room.

■ A portable X-ray machine.

■ Eight years of software service packages.

“This will really set us up for the future in imaging,” said Eric Lewis, OMC CEO. Some of the funds were allocated in the 2015 budget, some in the 2016 outlay.

OMC assembled the multiple purchases — all from General Electric — to take advantage of end-of-

year discounts and a bulk buy.

The deal included trading in OMC’s present equipment.

In other action Tuesday, commissioners approved a $4,500-per-month contract with Peninsula Behavioral Health to provide inpatient psychiatric services that will include daily rounds in the hospital.

Lewis said the arrangement also would help PBH attract a second psychiatrist to its staff.

“We absolutely need this to take good care of our patients,” he said, “and provide a safer environment for our employees.”

At the commission’s next meeting Jan. 6, PBH Executive Director Peter Casey will give a presentation about all the collaborative programs between the mental health agency and OMC, including PBH’s new Respite Center.

Commissioners also learned that a $135,000 irrigation, landscaping and parking improvement at the west end of the hospital would be completed today.

PORTLAND, Ore. — The U.S. Postal Service says it’s illegal to mail materials containing advertising for marijuana products, even in states that have legalized the federally controlled substance.

The policy statement released this week comes in response to a letter from Oregon’s congressional delegation asking the service to clarify its policy on the issue.

In November, a memo distributed in the Portland postal district said it was unlawful for newspaper outlets to run marijuana ads and use the U.S. mail for delivery.

The memo caused confusion among publishers whose newspapers have published ads for dispensaries and manufacturers in the region.

“Advertisements for the sale of marijuana are nonmailable,” Thomas Marshall, executive vice president and general counsel of the Postal Service, wrote in a letter to the delegation.

That’s because under the federal Controlled Substances Act, marijuana’s sale is prohibited, he said.

Medical marijuana dispensaries have multiplied in Oregon, and many now also offer recreational pot.

The industry uses billboards, websites and newspaper ads to showcase their products in a highly competitive market.

“Unfortunately,” said the joint statement, “the outdated federal approach to marijuana as described in the response from the Postal Service undermines and threatens news publications that choose to accept advertising from legal marijuana businesses in Oregon and other states where voters also have freely decided to legalize marijuana.”

The Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association said the Postal Service policy could rob newspapers of revenue. The group has advised its members not to run marijuana ads if they use the postal service for some delivery.

High court OKs warrantless review of suspect’s records

BY GENE JOHNSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE — The state Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a little-known state law that allows investigators to get a suspect’s bank and other records without a search warrant — a ruling two dissenters said would give people’s curbside trash greater privacy protection than their crucial financial information.

Under the law, adopted in 1971, police and prosecutors have been able to get the records without showing probable cause that a crime had been committed — the standard that applies to search warrants.

Instead, they can get the information with a subpoena issued under a lesser standard in a secret hearing called a “special inquiry judge” proceeding.

7-2 ruling

600-hour analysis A financial analyst for the state spent 600 hours poring through the material looking for evidence of the crime.

Reeder’s attorney, David Donnan, told the justices during oral arguments that

such a vast intrusion into someone’s private affairs must require a more stringent showing by prosecutors than that required under the special-inquiry law.

But the majority disagreed. They equated the secret proceedings under state law to federal grand juries, which issue subpoenas for bank records all the time, and suggested that people have less expectation of privacy in information held by third parties.

The dissenting justices, Sheryl Gordon McCloud and Debra Stephens, called the majority’s rationale sweeping, confusing and illogical.

Third parties Washington’s Supreme Court has repeatedly rejected the notion that under state law people have less expectation of privacy in records turned over to third parties, they said, and unlike federal rulings, Washington precedent even bars police from searching through curbside garbage without a warrant.

Nothing in Washington’s case law suggests that banking records are less protected than curbside trash, McCloud wrote: “Indeed, it suggests that our state constitution affords the highest level of protection for personal banking records.”

An Associated Press story in 2012 detailed how prosecutors had used special inquiry judge subpoenas as substitutes for warrants in a

wide range of cases, especially in Benton County, where Seattle attorney Lenell Nussbaum and Pasco lawyer Robert Thompson questioned the practice.

Following the AP’s story, the Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys acknowledged the special inquiries had been overused and adopted model rules for them.

Guidelines The guidelines say prosecutors should use the inquiries only when traditional investigative techniques won’t work, including “when investigators lack the probable cause necessary to obtain a warrant.”

Tom McBride, who heads the prosecutors group, praised the ruling.

“When we moved away from grand juries in the state of Washington, one of the things we lost was the investigative powers of the grand jury,” he said. “That’s what the special inquiries were created for.”

OLYMPIA — Gov. Jay Inslee on Thursday unveiled a plan to give teachers a raise, including increasing the state’s portion of a teacher’s starting pay by $5,000 next fall to help retention rates across the state.

The governor announced the proposal during the unveiling of his supplemental budget proposal, which makes some tweaks to the current $38 billion, two-year state budget that was adopted earlier this year.

The new proposal includes putting more money toward covering wildfire costs and into the state’s mental health system.

The teacher proposal — which would bump the state portion of the teacher starting pay from $35,700 to $40,000 — is separate from the budget plan. It would cost about $100 million dollars a year, something Inslee says can be done if four tax exemptions are closed or limited.

It would cost about $100 million dollars a year, something Inslee said can be done if four tax exemptions are closed or limited.

Inslee said a recent state survey shows that the state is facing a shortage of qualified teachers and substitutes and school districts are struggling with teacher retention. He said his plan will lead to more than 8,700 teachers receiving a raise ranging from $1,000 to $4,300.

In addition to the base salary bump, his proposal provides a minimum 1 percent salary increase starting in the 2016-17 school year for all other teachers.

Classified and administrative staff also would receive 1 percent raises under the plan.

To pay for the teacher raises, Inslee wants to: ■ Repeal a use tax exemption for extracted fuel used by oil refineries, expected to save the state $17.7 million in the next fiscal year that begins in the middle of next year, and nearly $41 million in the 2017-19 biennium.

■ Require nonresidents from states with no sales tax, like Oregon, to apply for sales tax refunds when they make purchases in Washington, instead of getting them automatically. That would save the state nearly $24 million in the next fiscal year and more than $55 million for the following two-year budget.

■ Repeal the sales tax exemption on bottled water, saving the state nearly $83 million over the next three years.

■ Limit the real estate excise tax exemption for banks, saving the state nearly $107 million over three years.

“Having a classroom teacher to teach algebra right now is more important than some oil industry tax break,” Inslee said during a news conference to announce his budget proposal.

Republican Bill Bryant, a Port of Seattle commissioner who is running against Democrat Inslee in next year’s gubernatorial election, said that while he agrees that something needs to be done about the teacher shortage, he would pay for the raises out of the existing budget instead of through taxes.

“I applaud him for trying to do it, but I would reallocate resources rather than propose new taxes,” he said.

Inslee’s supplemental budget includes more than $178 million to cover the cost to fight last summer’s wildfires that burned 1 million acres and destroyed more than 300 homes. That money comes from the state’s emergency fund.

The budget also spends more than $137 million on mental health needs, including efforts to improve safety and improve staffing levels at the state psychiatric hospitals.

Retention rates The budget pays for about 62 additional positions, including 51 registered nurses. It also puts more money toward improving hospital staff recruitment and retention rates.

Lawmakers return to the Capitol next month, when the House and Senate will each present their own supplemental budget proposals during the 60-day legislative session that is scheduled to end mid-March.

In a written statement, Democratic House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan said Inslee’s proposal was “a good starting point for discussion.”

But Senate Republicans’ main budget writer, Sen. Andy Hill, criticized the plan, writing that “the governor continues to offer plenty of ways to spend taxpayer dollars, but fails to provide a sustainable way to pay for it.”

Legislators have a lot on their plate for the short session, including returning under the cloud of $100,000a-day sanctions imposed by the state Supreme Court since August over lawmakers’ lack of progress on fixing the way the state pays for public education.

A legislative work group has been meeting for months in an effort to come up with a plan to satisfy the court.

In the 7-2 ruling, the high court said those secret hearings provide adequate authority for police to obtain the records, even though people have a constitutionally protected privacy interest in them.

“We have recognized that a judicially issued subpoena can be sufficient authority of law to invade a citizen’s private affairs,” Justice Mary Fairhurst wrote for the majority.

The Legislature created the special inquiry proceedings following a wide-ranging public corruption investigation in Seattle.

Modeled on similar procedures in Michigan and Connecticut — though Michigan’s law does require probable cause and Connecticut’s has since been repealed — the Washington proceedings were designed to be a more efficient alternative to the state grand jury system, which prosecutors found to be expensive and cumbersome.

The procedure, which some prosecutors say is a seldom-used but important investigative tool, allows a judge to issue subpoenas for evidence, such as bank or phone records, at the request

of a prosecutor who has “reason to suspect” crime.

The person whose records are obtained is not necessarily ever informed of it, even if they wind up later being charged with a crime, nor do they have an opportunity to challenge the subpoenas.

Under federal law, people generally do not have privacy interests in information they turn over to third parties, such as banks.

But Washington’s Constitution is considered more protective of people’s privacy.

The state Supreme Court had never before ruled on whether the lesser reasonable-suspicion standard was good enough when it came to law enforcement obtaining someone’s bank, email or other records.

The court’s decision upheld the conviction of Michael Reeder, who authorities said swindled an octogenarian out of $1.7 million in a scam real-estate deal.

Before bringing charges, a King County deputy prosecutor went to a special inquiry judge and obtained 20 subpoenas for Reeder’s bank records.

Exec who jacked up cost of drug arrested on fraud

BY TOM HAYS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Martin Shkreli, the former hedge fund manager vilified in nearly every corner of America for buying a pharmaceutical company and jacking up the price of a lifesaving drug more than fiftyfold, was arrested Thursday on securities fraud charges unrelated to the furor.

The boyish-looking 32-year-old entrepreneur — a relentlessly self-promoting figure who has called himself “the world’s most eligible bachelor” on Twitter and recently plunged into the hip-hop world by buying an unreleased album by the Wu-Tang Clan — was taken into custody in a gray hoodie and awaited an appearance in federal court in Brooklyn.

Online, many people took instant glee in his arrest, some of them joking about a judge ratcheting up his sentence or lawyers jacking up their hourly fees 5,000 percent for defending him in his hour of need.

His attorneys had no immediate comment.

Shkreli was charged in an indictment unconnected to the drug price hikes imposed by his company Turing Pharmaceuticals.

The charges instead involve his actions at another pharmaceutical

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Martin Shkreli, the former hedge fund manager under fire for buying a pharmaceutical company and ratcheting up the price of a life-saving drug, is escorted by law enforcement agents in New York on Thursday. company, Retrophin, which he ran as CEO up until last year.

Prosecutors said that in a “Ponzi-like scheme” between 2009 and 2014, Shkreli lost hedge fund investors’ money through bad trades, then raided Retrophin for $11 million in cash and stock to pay back his disgruntled clients.

‘Web of lies,’ ‘deceit’ Shkreli “engaged in multiple schemes to ensnare investors through a web of lies and deceit,” U.S. Attorney Robert Capers said in a statement.

Shkreli was charged with

securities fraud and conspiracy. A second defendant, lawyer Evan Greebel, of Scarsdale, N.Y., was charged with conspiracy. It was not immediately clear who would represent Greebel.

If convicted, both men could get up to 20 years in prison.

Shkreli has found himself at the center of a firestorm over drug pricing in the past few months, and he hasn’t been afraid to throw on more fuel.

It began after Turing Pharmaceuticals spent $55 million in August for the U.S. rights to sell Daraprim, a 62-year-old drug for a rare

parasitic infection, and promptly raised the price from $13.50 to $750 per pill.

The drug is the only approved treatment for toxoplasmosis, a disease that mainly strikes pregnant women, cancer patients and AIDS patients.

The move sparked outrage that resounded from the presidential campaign to the punk rock world and turned him into the new face of corporate greed.

Headlines called him such things as “America’s most hated man,” the “drug industry’s villain,” “biotech’s bad boy” — and those were just the more printable names.

Doctors and medical groups said the price hike was cutting patients off from lifesaving treatment, activists protested outside Turing’s offices, and the episode helped prompt a Senate hearing on drug prices.

Hillary Clinton called it price-gouging and said the company’s behavior was “outrageous.”

Donald Trump called Shkreli “a spoiled brat.”

Bernie Sanders returned a donation from Shkreli.

And indie record label Collect Records said it was severing ties with Shkreli, who had been an investor.

Shkreli said the company would cut the price of Daraprim.

Last month, however, Turing reneged.

Instead, the company is reducing what it charges hospitals for Daraprim by as much as 50 percent.

While most patients’ copayments will be $10 or less a month, insurance companies will be stuck with the bulk of the tab, potentially driving up future treatment and insurance costs.

Shkreli has said that insurance and other programs allow patients to get the drug despite the cost and that the profits are helping fund research into new treatments.

But he has also unapologetically made a business-isbusiness argument for the price jump.

‘Capitalist system’ In fact, he recently said he probably should have raised it more.

“No one wants to say it, no one’s proud of it, but this is a capitalist society, a capitalist system and capitalist rules,” he said in an interview at the Forbes Healthcare Summit this month.

“And my investors expect me to maximize profits, not to minimize them or go half or go 70 percent but to go to 100 percent of the profit curve.”

He is known as a prolific user of Twitter and often livestreams his workday over the Internet, the camera showing him at his desk as he does business, kills time surfing the Web and invites people to chat with him.

Recently, it emerged that he bought the only copy of a Wu-Tang Clan album titled “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin,” which the group sold on the condition that it not be released publicly. He said he paid $2 million.

In August, though, Retrophin sued Shkreli for more than $65 million, accusing him of using his control of the company to enrich himself and to pay off the claims of financial fund investors he had defrauded.

Last month, Shkreli was named chairman and CEO of KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, a struggling cancer drug developer.

After his arrest, its stock fell by more than half Thursday before trading in the company was suspended.

Wolves drop close one

How will Sequim new regs edged by impact Kingston fishing?

BY LEE HORTON

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

THE RIPPLE EFFECTS stemming from last week’s decision by the state Fish and Wildlife Commission outlawing wild steelhead and wild rainbow trout retention on eight North Olympic Peninsula rivers remain to be seen.

Those rivers, the Sol Duc, Cal- Michael awah, Bogachiel, Carman Quillayute, Dickey, Hoh, Clearwater and Quinault, were the last remaining rivers in the state where anglers could catch and keep a wild steelhead.

Not that very many anglers made that choice, at least in recent winter steelhead fisheries.

“I understand that people think it’s a great step forward for wild steelhead,” said Jerry Wright of Jerry’s Bait and Tackle (360-457-1308) in Port Angeles.

Wright used to guide full-time for years on the West End, and will still take an occasional customer or columnist on a river trip.

“But steelhead fishermen already understand the problems these fish are facing, and I’d bet they practice catch-and-release over 95 percent of the time.”

A quick glance at three years worth of Fish and Wildlife-compiled winter fish reports for West End rivers backs up Wright.

From 2012-14, wild steelhead retention was highest on the Bogachiel/Quillayute at 6.9 percent (132 of 1,886 wild fish were kept).

The lower Hoh river was next at 5.7 percent (92 of 1,589).

The Sol Duc, by far the river with the most wild steelhead pressure, had a 4.2 percent retention rate (175 of 4,102).

Wright’s claim is certainly in the ballpark.

“I think sports fishermen try and be responsible for the most part,” Wright said.

“It just always seems like it’s the sports fisherman’s fault.”

Wild steelhead suffer from a number of ills.

“The cause of steelhead decline on the OP is multifaceted, with tribal over-harvest, hatchery supplementation and habitat loss, particularly on unprotected spawning tributaries, all playing significant roles,” the Wild Steelhead Coalition said in a statement after the commission’s decision.

“But the fact remains that as anglers, we are a part of the problem and therefore we need to be part of the solution.”

The big question on these changes branches out from there: is this truly a decision to be lauded and praised, or is it a bandage on a gushing wound?

These rule changes aren’t likely to stop tribes from netting the rivers, timber companies from using pesticides and herbicides to promote the growth of their trees, and the other slow-drip destruction of habitat caused by man.

Economically, Wright is worried for himself and others, such as bait sellers.

“I’m going to have to wait and see how it plays out, but I don’t think anybody but fly-only guys really stands to gain,” Wright said.

“Basically, fly fishermen got their way, and to me that’s not fair.”

Limited ski operations Two rope tows are expected to be in use Saturday and Sunday, Hurricane Ridge Ski and Snowboard Area announced earlier this week on its Facebook page.

That in itself is a victory for Peninsula powder lovers who were shut out of any winter sports activities due to last winter’s dearth of snow.

The snow was up to 48 inches at Hurricane Ridge’s snow stake Monday, and another foot or more of snow is needed to operate the Poma lift.

Young corners key WSU’s defensive revival Molton and Pippins have grown together this season

BY JACOB THORPE MCCLATCHY NEWS SERVICE

PULLMAN — When searching for the genesis of Washington State’s dramatically improved ability to prevent points — the Cougars gave up 117 fewer points in 2015 than in 2014 — look to the edges of the defense.

Darrien Molton, a true freshman, and Marcellus Pippins, a sophomore who saw his first action in Washington State’s 10th game last year, made it difficult for quarter-

backs to get the ball to outside receivers in 2015, funneling opposing offenses to the middle of the field where defensive linemen, linebackers and safeties were able to track opposing players in condensed space.

Men on an island The two cornerbacks play man-to-man defense, which means that despite occasional safety help or other schematic assistance, they most frequently have to make one-on-one plays against opposing players.

Though they have the same duties, they are the two players furthest apart on the defense, meaning that communication comes only when senior safety Taylor Tali-

Cougs: Grinch teaching cornerbacks CONTINUED FROM A9 you wonder if he was going to fade at all, or flinch, or take a step back Molton was so good this year like freshmen do sometimes. And that Pro Football Focus named he never really did.”

“That’s really impressive Washington State finished tied because he’s a very unassuming for 11th nationally in opponent guy, a quiet guy,” said coach Mike passing plays of 20 or more yards, Leach, who frequently espouses with 27, and eighth in opponent confidence and self-assuredness passing plays of 30 or more yards as important qualities that allow with 10 allowed.

While the Cougars finished first-year players to contribute last in the Pac-12 in pass effiearly.

“He came in here and it didn’t ciency defense in 2014, allowing opposing QBs to finish with a take long,” Leach said.

“A day into camp he started passer rating of 158, that mark creating a presence out there and dropped to 142.5 this year, placing continued to improve, and then a strong fifth among teams in

the Pac-12.

“Probably three, four games into the season I started to feel a lot better,” Molton said. “I got a lot more confidence and was able to play more my game.”

Under first-year defensive coordinator Alex Grinch, the Cougars defenders have frequently spoken of the team’s increased energy, and Leach has noted that his team’s defenders react quicker thanks to simple, clear defensive schemes.

While the schemes are simple, they are also secret. Molton and Pippins say that the team frequently disguises coverages, showing one defensive look before

the ball is snapped and then quickly transitioning into something else.

Grinch also serves as defensive backs coach — he was a secondary coach at Missouri before coming to Washington State — and it seems likely that sharing a meeting room with the man in charge of the defense has quickened the drastic improvement among the cornerbacks.

“That’s extremely helpful to have him do both,” Pippins said.

“He helps us know the plays but also know the techniques we need for that specific play. We get to watch film and go over our techniques.”

Preps: PA boys, girls off to fast league start CONTINUED FROM A9

Port Angeles 66, North Mason 47 PORT ANGELES — The Roughriders added to the momentum they gained from a thrilling overtime win over Olympic earlier this week by returning home and routing the Bulldogs.

“I was very happy to see us play well after the big win at Olympic,” Port Angeles coach Kasey Ulin said following Wednesday’s win over North Mason.

“Sometimes teams can have a lack of intensity coming off such an intense game, so I was thrilled to see us come out with great focus and energy.”

The Riders avoided any sort of a letdown by outscoring the Bulldogs 14-7 in the first quarter and building their lead to 35-19 by halftime.

Port Angeles improves to 2-0 in Olympic League 2A and 4-2 overall.

“Defensively, we were great and forced 30 turnovers,” Ulin said, “and we dominated on the glass, winning the rebound margin 40-28.

“We had 18 assists, which shows me we are playing as a unit and sharing the ball well. Offensively, every single player scored, and our bench got to play most of the fourth quarter, getting valuable minutes.

“It was a great team effort on both sides of the ball.”

The Riders had three players score in double figures, led by Luke Angevine, who had 15 points. The junior also had seven rebounds and four assists.

Noah McGoff and Colton McGuffey each scored 12 points.

McGuffey, a sophomore, also pulled down seven rebounds.

“Colton was a stud tonight. He is really coming into his own,” Ulin said.

Grayson Peet had a nice allaround showing, racking up nine points, seven steals and six assists.

The Riders take a break from league action until next month, but they’ll be busy over the next four days, hosting Klahowya (0-8) tonight, Tumwater (2-2) on Saturday and Archbishop Murphy (1-4) on Monday.

“The kids are excited and growing more confident. We are 2-0 in league and are going to work hard to improve over the next three weeks to be ready when we get back into league play Jan. 5,” Ulin said.

“Overall, I am extremely proud of the boys, and we have gotten off to a fantastic start in league, but we need to continue to improve daily and stay focused on bringing a high level of intensity each day at practice.”

Wilson not elite

Mary M. Knight 49, Quilcene 42 ELMA — The Rangers couldn’t keep hold of a halftime lead in their nonleague loss to the Owls.

“The Owls simply outplayed us in the third and fourth quarters,” Quilcene coach Briana Weller said of Tuesday’s game.

“We had trouble executing good defensive deliveries and closeouts.

“Offensively, we need to work on making critical put-backs and layups. The offensive sets are working but we need to be stronger with the ball, seeing the floor, and hitting the open cutters.”

The Rangers were outscored 28-16 in the second half.

Allison Jones hit four 3-pointers and led Quilcene in scoring with 17 points. She also had three steals and three assists.

Megan Weller added 15 points, five rebounds and three assist, and Abby Weller grabbed 16 rebounds and had 10 points, four assists and two steals.

The Rangers (2-2) open SeaTac League play tonight at Rainier Christian (1-4).

The Green Bay (at Oakland) Cardinals then have to lose their remaining three wins or ties.

In this scenario, there’s games (at Philadelphia, vs. enough head-to-head games Green Bay, vs. Seattle).

■ The Seahawks tie, is division record, which

would be tied 4-2.

■ The third tiebreaker is conference record, which would be tied 8-4.

■ The fourth tiebreaker is record against common opponents, which would be tied 9-3.

That brings it to the fifth tiebreaker, strength of victory, which is the combined record of the opponents each team beat. Seattle and Arizona would have nine common wins, meaning it would come down to the records of the two unique teams they beat.

Seattle’s unique wins are against Dallas (4-8) and Pittsburgh (7-5), while Arizona’s unique wins are against New Orleans (4-8) and Cincinnati (10-3).

Therefore, the Seahawks need Dallas and Pittsburgh to be at least three games better than New Orleans and Cincinnati over the final three weeks.

If Seattle and Arizona finish tied in strength of victory, it would bring up the sixth tiebreaker, which is strength of schedule.

That adds unique losses to the mix.

Seattle’s unique losses against Cincinnati (10-3) and Carolina (13-0) are far

better than Arizona’s unique losses to Pittsburgh (7-5) and Philadelphia (6-7), so the Seahawks would claim the division title.

It’s an almost impossible sequence of events. FootballOutsiders.com calculates the chances of Seattle winning the division at onetenth of one percent. But it’s not statistically impossible.

On the other hand, Arizona can clinch the division Sunday if just one of three things happens: ■ Arizona wins or ties against Philadelphia.

■ Seattle loses or ties against Cleveland.

■ Even if Arizona loses and Seattle wins, the Cardinals can clinch the strengthof-victory tiebreaker if New Orleans (vs. Detroit) and Cincinnati (at San Francisco) both win and Dallas (vs. New York Jets) and Pittsburgh (vs. Denver) both lose.

So there’s plenty of reasons for Seahawks supporters to scoreboard watch this week.

While Manziel was highly complementary of Wilson, Pettine wasn’t ready to declare him one of the league’s elite.

“Would you put him there with the guys that can transcend their supporting cast? The Bradys, whether it’s Aaron Rodgers, [Drew] Brees, [Ben] Roethlisberger, the ones that you would consider the two, three, four elite guys? No. But he’s certainly played himself into that next tier,” Pettine said.

When asked about Pettine’s comments, Wilson scrambled up the high road.

“I don’t worry about all that,” he told Cleveland reporters on a conference call. “It comes down to winning a lot of football games.

I think that’s the ultimate measure of a quarterback.”

BEREA, Ohio — Johnny Manziel’s taking a trip to an NFL stadium where quarterbacks are seen, not heard.

He’s got a facemask-toface meeting with Seattle’s 12th Man. Coming off maybe his finest performance as a pro, Manziel gets to measure his progress this week against the Seahawks, who are again playing at a Super Bowl level, and their supersonically noisy fans.

“It’s going to be loud, it’s going to be hostile and they’re going to be good,” Manziel said this week.

After ending a sevengame losing streak Sunday against a San Francisco squad in slow motion, the Browns (3-10) are vowing that they won’t be intimidated by the Seahawks (8-5), who have won four straight and six of seven.

“We’re not going up there to curl up in a ball,” Browns coach Mike Pettine said.

“We’re going up there to compete.”

For Manziel, it will not only be a chance to test his skills against one of the league’s top defenses, but one of the rare times he’ll be facing a quarterback he can look in the eye.

Both listed at 5-foot-11, Manziel and Seattle’s Russell Wilson share many physical attributes but are disparate in stature. They’re two of the league’s shortest QBs, two of the most mobile and the pair have overcome physical limitations to achieve success at football’s most demanding position.

Although he hasn’t specifically studied Wilson’s game, Manziel has been impressed with the Seattle QB’s consistency and a cur-

rent four-game run unlike any seen in decades. Wilson is the first quarterback since the passer rating inception in 1973 to have at least a 138.5 rating in four consecutive games.

Because they’re close in size and make plays outside the pocket, Manziel and Wilson are often compared.

Obviously, Manziel has a long way to go to match Wilson’s accomplishments, but he said the 27-year-old is one of the quarterback’s he has admired.

“There are a lot of guys that I’ve looked up to for a long time,” Manziel said.

“You look at [Aaron] Rodgers, you look at [Tom] Brady, you look at the way they’ve done this for years and years.

“Looking at mobile guys, there’s nobody better right now than Russell and Cam [Newton] sitting up there, who are able to extend play with their legs.”

Let’s talk about sex . . .

Good conversations needed to combat HPV vaccine myth

BY AARON E. CARROLL THE NEW YORK TIMES

W

HEN PEOPLE HEAR about vaccine deniers — anti-vaxxers, to some — they most often think about parents who are refusing to vaccinate their children.

But there’s another type of vaccine refusal, and it’s important that we not ignore that. Doctors sometimes promote the use of some vaccines with less enthusiasm than others. Sometimes, they don’t talk about them at all.

This occurs most often with the human papillomavirus, or HPV, vaccine. The low immunization rates with this vaccine, and the behaviors of the physicians who might be contributing to that, have consequences.

HPV is a sexually transmitted infection that is very, very common, so much so that almost all sexually active people will get at least one of more than 40 types at some point in their lives.

The CDC estimates that almost 80 million Americans are currently infected with HPV, and that about 14 million people will become newly infected this year.

Most people don’t suffer any real negative health consequences. But some do.

About 1 percent of those infected will have genital warts at any given moment. More important, about 17,500 women and 9,300 men will be affected by cancers that HPV causes each year. These include cervical, oropharyngeal, anal, vaginal and penile cancers.

This is preventable. The CDC recommends that all children, boys and girls, begin receiving the first of three vaccinations when they are 11 or 12 years old.

The reason we start that young is that it’s important that children be immune well before they become sexually active.

Once they are exposed to the virus through sexual activity, the vaccine may be less effective.

L

et’s also be clear. Regardless of what some presidential candidates say, the vaccine is safe. The scary emails and Internet horror stories you might have read can easily be explained away.

The vaccine works, and it’s not dangerous.

Our immunization rates for HPV fall far short of other vaccine rates. Last year, less than 42 percent of those ages 13 to 17 received at least one dose of the HPV vaccine. Fewer receive all three shots.

Even this rate of vaccination has made a difference, though. A study published two years ago in The Journal of Infectious Diseases examined the prevalence of HPV infections in girls and women both before and after the vaccine was introduced.

Among those 14 to 19, the prevalence of

HPV decreased from 11.5 percent before 2006 to 5.1 percent after. This drop could not be accounted for by changes in demographics or sexual activity.

The remarkable reduction in HPV prevalence occurs even though only about a third of girls 13 to 17 received all three doses of the vaccine in 2010.

T

he CDC director, Tom Frieden, estimated then that if we could increase the vaccination rate to 80 percent, far lower than we see with most other vaccines, we could prevent 50,000 cases of cervical cancer in women. He argued that every year we did not achieve this goal would result in an additional 4,400 women getting cervical cancer at some point in their lives.

Policy is partly to blame here. Although states pretty much mandate all childhood vaccines as necessary for entry into school, fewer focus on diseases affecting adolescents.

However, all states and the District of Columbia require immunity to chickenpox; 47 states and D.C. require vaccination against hepatitis B; and 29 states and D.C. require it for meningococcus.

Only two states, Rhode Island and Virginia, and the District of Columbia require vaccination against HPV. Parental and adolescent beliefs certainly come into play. Myths about the safety of the HPV vaccine persist despite overwhelming evidence that the immunization is safe.

Doctors bear responsibility here as well. A recent study by Melissa Gilkey, a

Peninsula Voices

behavioral scientist at Harvard Medical School, surveyed pediatricians and family physicians to examine their communication practices around vaccines.

She found that more than a quarter of doctors didn’t endorse the vaccine strongly. About a quarter did not make timely recommendations for girls, and almost 40 percent didn’t make timely recommendations for boys. Only half recommended same-day vaccinations, and almost 60 percent used a risk-based approach, recommending the vaccine more often to patients they thought were at higher risk of HPV infection, such as those more likely to be sexually active.

T

his is, of course, a problem. If a child is already sexually active, it may be too late to protect them.

Gilkey’s prior work found that physicians felt that talking to patients about the HPV vaccine took significantly more time than for other vaccines, which may make them less likely to engage.

Further, some physicians believe many parents don’t think HPV vaccination is important for their 11- and 12-year-olds.

While three-quarters of doctors reported perceiving parental support for the Tdap vaccine, for instance, only 13 percent believed parents supported the HPV vaccine.

That’s not the case. A study published last year in the journal Vaccine found that doctors underestimated how important vaccines were to parents and overestimated parental concerns about how many shots their children were getting.

OUR

Other research shows that the most common reason for adolescents not to receive the HPV vaccine isn’t parental refusal; it’s a lack of physician recommendation.

Even if there are parental concerns, it’s up to the physician to address them.

One of the nation’s pre-eminent experts in HPV vaccine behavioral research, Greg Zimet, has an office downstairs from me at Indiana University School of Medicine.

His research has also found physician communication to be a significant predictor of HPV coverage.

A point that Zimet has made repeatedly, however, is that the number of behavioral studies of the HPV vaccine is far, far greater than for any other vaccine.

There’s something about this vaccine that causes people to behave differently when discussing, considering and administering it.

The elephant in the room is, of course, sex. This vaccine prevents a sexually transmitted infection, and there is a pervasive belief that when parents, or even doctors, give the vaccine, they may be condoning sexual activity in young adolescents.

T

his is, of course, not true. Many engage in sexual activity with or without the vaccine. We administer the immunization to protect them regardless.

Moreover, research is abundant in this domain. A 2012 study published in JAMA Pediatrics found that girls perceived no less need for safer sexual behaviors after getting the HPV vaccine.

A 2014 cohort study of more than 260,000 girls found that those who received the HPV vaccine were no more likely to get pregnant or to contract a nonHPV-related sexually transmitted infection than girls who were unvaccinated.

This confirmed findings from a smaller cohort study from 2012.

The good news is that this is all fixable.

Research consistently shows that doctors have a lot of influence on parents’ decision making about HPV vaccination. They should just talk about it as they do with all other vaccinations in a straightforward, unambiguous way.

As Gilkey told me, “Just by letting parents know that HPV vaccination is very important for all 11- and 12-year-olds, physicians and other vaccine providers can do a lot to overcome the barriers that have kept coverage low in the U.S.”

READERS’ LETTERS, FAXES AND EMAIL

Friend pays steep price for collect call from jail I understand that most people deserve it when they go to jail.

However, some people are actually innocent.

Recently, I paid $15 to talk to a friend of mine in jail.

I was surprised by the $15 charge and also angry and disappointed because I had heard about this type of scam, but I never thought our sheriff or our chief of police would allow this to be in our jail.

By ripping off friends, family members and children, Clallam County undermines its moral credibility and does not set a good example.

How ironic is it to have our county jail rob our citizens so blatantly and unapologetically?

I would be interested in any comments by our moral authoritarians.

Evan Bradow, Port Angeles

Here’s Clallam County Sheriff Bill Benedict’s response: Inasmuch as I am not a moral authoritarian, I may not be qualified to adequately comment to the writer’s satisfaction.

However, it is true that the letter writer was charged $14.99 for a 20-minute collect phone call from an inmate.

As one might expect, phone calls to/from the jail are closely monitored and controlled (with the exception of phone calls to/ from an inmate’s attorney).

Reasons for placing controls and restrictions on inmate calling include preventing an inmate from contacting victims or witnesses to a crime he or she has been charged with committing, preventing a criminal enterprise from being run from the jail and preventing an inmate from using county resources to make harassing or unwanted phone calls to the community.

Additionally, all calls from the jail are recorded (with the exception of attorney calls).

Remember, there is no constitutional right to phone friends and family from a jail (other than communicating with an attorney).

It is an unwarranted burden on my department as well as the taxpayers to provide this optional service free of charge to inmates.

Like most correctional facilities in the state of Washington, the Clallam County jail contracts with a third-party vendor (in our case, it is SecurusTel) to manage the jail’s phone system to satisfy the above requirements as well as provide the hardware and software necessary to monitor, record where appropriate and block calls to victims/witnesses or to persons that do not want to be called by an inmate.

The costs of this program are borne by the users — inmates and persons being called — by either paying for a collect phone call or setting up a prepaid account.

There is a nominal amount of money ($21,000 in 2015) that is returned to the county by SecurusTel. This money goes directly into the Inmate Welfare Account.

This account is used to pay for newspapers and other reading materials for inmates, TV sets and cable TV (yes, believe it or not, we provide basic cable TV to inmates who are not under disciplinary status), inmate haircuts, education and GED tests, Peninsula College and electronic home monitoring services for indigent inmates.

Once again, these are services that are helpful to our inmates and contribute toward rehabilitation, but I could not in good conscience burden the tax-

The writer selected the most expensive option in accepting the collect call from an inmate.

He was under no obligation to accept the call and its attendant cost, and he could have set up an account that would have resulted in a lower per-minute cost.

CommentaryViewpoints

Fear, loathing and Republican debates WELL, THE BIG Republican presidential debate is over and the message is clear: Be afraid. Be very afraid.

“America has been betrayed,” Gail began Chris Christie, setting Collins the tone for the night, which might be described as bellicose paranoia. The betrayers were President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

His example of the terror they have wrought was the Los Angeles school system, which closed Tuesday after an email threat from someone who described himself as a Muslim terrorist.

“Think about the mothers who will take those children tomorrow morning to the bus stop wondering whether their children will arrive back on that bus safe and sound,” Christie said darkly.

“Think about the fathers of Los Angeles who tomorrow will head off to work and wonder about the safety of their wives and their children.”

This is probably not the time to point out that the governor of New Jersey seems to have a rather retro view of the roles of mothers, who are likely to be heading off to work themselves.

But here’s the thing: The threat was a hoax. New York got the same message and kept classes going after officials determined that the writer was not only a phony, but a phony who had no clue how to sound like either a Muslim or a terrorist.

The lesson from Los Angeles would seem to be that the country needs to find a way to operate in a calm and rational manner, aware of the possibility of disaster but clear-eyed about the fact that the

odds against a terrorist attack at any particular place or time are astronomical.

We are most definitely not in need of politicians trying to scare the pants off the voting public.

“We haven’t heard a lot about Ronald Reagan’s city on a hill,” questioner Hugh Hewitt said rather plaintively, yearning for some optimism. The audience was getting the Ronald Reagan who blew up a wagon full of gunpowder in “Cattle Queen of Montana.”

The topic was national defense, and Donald Trump seemed stumped by a question about the three ways America could conduct nuclear attacks: from air, land or sea.

“I think, I think for me, nuclear is just the power, the devastation is very important to me,” the frontrunner said.

Not a problem. He can hire somebody who knows about nuclear weapons. Somebody really great.

The campaign’s current up-andcomer, Ted Cruz, expressed enthusiasm for carpet-bombing, a tactic he seemed to be unaware the United States hasn’t used since Vietnam, and one that he apparently imagines could be targeted so strategically that it would kill only terrorists.

On the plus side, Jeb Bush did perk up a bit. About time.

I am privileged to be on the Jeb! campaign mailing list, and his pre-debate missives were possibly the most pathetic in recent presidential history. (“… I need to know you’re with me. Are you, Friend? Do you have my back? If so, please chip in just $1 right now to say you’re on my team tonight.”)

Let’s see, what else? Several candidates seemed to think terrorism on U.S. soil is entirely due to “political correctness.”

Carly Fiorina promised to bring back “warrior class” generals like David Petraeus who “retired early because they told President

Obama things that he didn’t want to hear,” skipping the part about giving classified materials to a biographer with whom he was having an extramarital affair.

But the real battle was over who could make things sound more dire, or offer solutions more drastic.

Trump wants to target the families of terrorists, and he drove home the point by repeating his story about the World Trade Center attackers sending all their loved ones back to the Middle East in advance. (“ . . . they wanted to watch their boyfriends on television.”)

The fact that the terrorists had no families or girlfriends in the United States never seems to take the steam out of this argument.

Christie got a Facebook question from a young woman who thought it was a little uncharitable to rule out accepting any refugees, including orphans younger than 5.

“Now listen, I’m a former federal prosecutor. . . . ” he responded. All told, Christie mentioned being a former prosecutor five times during the debate, giving the distinct impression that in the wake of 9/11, he was the only thing standing between New Jersey and oblivion.

His answer to the question was that the 5-year-olds have to stay out: “And it was widows and orphans, by the way, and we now know from watching the San Bernardino attack that women can commit heinous, heinous acts against humanity just the same as men can do it. And so I don’t back away from that position for a minute.”

In summary: Kill the families.

Screw the orphans. Carpet-bomb Syria, but in a targeted way. Send Jeb Bush a dollar. On to 2016.

Obama’s DHS vetters need vetting GAPING HOLES IN the K1 fiance visa interview process.

Reckless bans on scrutiMichelle nizing visa Malkin applicants’ social media posts.

Ignored alarms over marriage fraud.

New details keep seeping out about all the “red flags” Obama’s immigration officials missed in the case of the San Bernardino jihadists.

Color me unshocked.

The American public and Capitol Hill politicians should have been more vigilant about vetting Obama’s vetters in the first place.

What do you expect when you put crony know-nothings, political hacks and identity politics zealots in charge of our safety?

In case you’d forgotten (or never paid attention), Obama campaign finance bundler Jeh Johnson snagged the top DHS post two years ago thanks to Harry Reid’s rigging of Senate filibuster rules.

Johnson’s a “diversity” relic from the Clinton era with zero experience in border security, port security, airport security or immigration enforcement.

So what is the main qualification for overseeing the $40 billion, 240,000-employee homeland security bureaucracy?

Besides dumping gobs of money into Obama’s coffers, he’s the “first African-American” to hold the job, as the White House trumpeted.

In case you’d forgotten (or never paid attention), DHS undersecretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the No. 2 in charge of the department, was also a beneficiary of Reid’s lowered nomination standards.

Like Johnson, Mayorkas was an Obama bundler early and often.

He slithered into the job in 2013 while still under investigation by the DHS inspector general for his role in facilitating EB-5 foreign investor visa scams over the

vehement objections of homeland security staff.

As my co-author John Miano and I point out in our new book, Sold Out, on systemic visa corruption, federal investigators interviewed more than 15 whistleblowers ranging from rank-and-file employees to several senior managers in California and at the D.C. headquarters who accused Mayorkas of bestowing both preferential access and preferential treatment to politically connected EB-5 applicants and stakeholders.

They detailed how Mayorkas “created special processes and revised existing policies in the EB-5 program to accommodate specific parties” while serving as director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

“Their allegations were unequivocal,” the inspector general concluded, and the corruption under Mayorkas was systemic.

In case you’d forgotten (or never paid attention), DHS Assistant Secretary, Office for State and Local Law Enforcement Heather Fong abandoned her post as San Francisco police chief amid widespread disgust with her weak leadership and obstinate refusal to cooperate with the feds on enforcing immigration laws.

That’s right.

A zealous advocate of sanctuary city policies, Fong now oversees outreach to nearly 18,000 state, local, tribal and territorial law enforcement agencies nationwide.

This enforcement obstructionist is in charge of terrorism prevention policies and coordination and distribution of intelligence between DHS and localities.

Her main qualifications? Being the first woman and Asian-American to lead the SFPD, whose rankand-file despised her.

In case you’d forgotten (or never paid attention), Assistant Secretary for International Affairs and Chief Diplomatic Office Alan Bersin was implicated in a scheme to manipulate the DHS hiring process to try and secure jobs for at least three political cronies who worked with Bersin on the Obama 2008 campaign, according to the

Office of Special Counsel.

Two of those pals did not even meet “the minimum qualification requirements for their respective career positions,” OSC’s complaint noted, because they lacked at least one year of relevant experience.

Bersin moved up the DHS ladder; a lower-level scapegoat was exonerated in court; and a key figure in the patronage plot was allowed to retire.

In case you’d forgotten (or never paid attention), Secretary Johnson hired his DHS chief of staff Christian Marrone without bothering to read the longtime Pennsylvania Democratic operative’s background security check.

Marrone was a top aide to slimeball Philadelphia power broker Vincent Fumo, who was convicted of 137 federal corruption charges in 2009.

As the Washington Times reported, Marrone “admitted in court to collecting a taxpayer salary while supervising the senator’s private home renovations, hiring a private eye to dig up dirt on a political rival and serving as president of a company that used nonprofit urban revitalization money for a for-profit venture.”

At trial, Marrone acknowledged doing Fumo’s rotten bidding because “that was the culture at the office . . . there were no boundaries.”

Marrone walked away after claiming he was a victim.

And now, this go-along, getalong toady willing to violate the law to please a boss serves as Johnson’s right-hand man and the No. 3 official at DHS. These hacks won’t even vet each other.

They place “optics,” “diversity” and political protectionism above national security.

Forget the red flags over San Bernardino.

It’s the giant white flag of surrender waving over DHS that’s the real threat to our well-being.

PT connects with Syrian refugee crisis

BY DIANE URBANI

PAZ

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT TOWNSEND — This will be a weekend of live music and motion — for an international cause — at Room to Move, uptown Port Townsend’s yoga center at 1008 Lawrence St. Ilana Smith, Room’s owner, has been traveling for 15 years to study and teach yoga in Molyvos, a town on the Greek island of Lesvos. She is acquainted with Melinda McRostie, who runs the Captain’s Table, a restaurant on the waterfront.

Molyvos, which is about as far from the Turkish coast as Whidbey Island is from Port Townsend, has become the place where thousands of Syrian refugees have come. They travel on rafts and rickety boats, arriving on Lesvos wet and hungry.

McRostie has turned her restaurant into a refugee center, a place where rain ponchos, shoes, blankets, socks and other clothing are collected and given out to those in need. She has established the Starfish Foundation, which will be the beneficiary of two fundraisers at Room to Move.

First is the PT Music Project’s concert, pairing the world-folk group Strong Sun Moon of Port Townsend with Bellingham’s Meghan Yates and the Reverie Machine on Saturday.

Admission is a suggested $25 donation, but organizer Aba Kiser emphasizes that no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for the 7 p.m. show, which will also

“It is difficult to imagine the courage of these people fleeing with their lives, and the volunteers who are working around the clock to provide relief,” Kiser said in her news release.

“We offer a night of music and solidarity, sending a beacon of support from our beloved Port Townsend.”

Kiser added that she was enchanted by Yates and the Reverie Machine when she heard them at Fort Worden State Park

this past summer. And Strong Sun Moon has impressed her with its Latin rhythms, vocal harmonies and instruments, ranging from the charango to the slide guitar.

Sunday dance gathering Sunday brings a winter solstice-themed dance performance.

Room to Move will host dancers Jo Alber, Vickie Townsend, Denise Banker and Camille Hildebrandt for an afternoon of bellydance, hula and contemplative dance — with Ron Myhre’s Tibetan singing

bowls added for good measure.

All of this will begin at 4 p.m.

Sunday with Smith leading a few minutes of yoga.

Chanting and a story about the solstice will also be part of the gathering.

Sunday’s performance will be a family-friendly event, said Smith.

“We can accommodate 50 or 60 people. I’ll be handing out candles,” she promised.

Room to Move is also a collection point for clothing to be sent to the refugees in Molyvos. Donors can drop off new or slightly used backpacks, waterproof walking

shoes, rain ponchos, socks and underwear in all sizes, warm waterproof jackets, men’s and women’s pants, warm scarves, gloves, hats and fleece blankets at the yoga center.

Experience Victorian times with PT tours

BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT TOWNSEND — Historical buildings that demonstrate Victorian-flavored tourist options are on display in Saturday’s Victorian Open Parlor Tours, featuring four town landmarks that are now used for lodging.

“A lot of people are coming because they like Victoriana,” said Nathan Barnett, who is organizing the event.

“Others are coming because Port Townsend is a gorgeous Victorian getaway and a great place to spend the holiday weekend.”

At $15, the tour is not particularly expensive and there is no ticket cap. Barnett said he expects about 20 or 30 people, “but we can handle more, as long as it’s not hundreds.”

If Barnett sells the projected number of tickets, he will net just a few hundred dollars, but that’s not the point.

“This is not really a fundraiser,” he said.

“The money we take in basically covers our costs, advertising and paying for tasty treats and musicians.

At the end, it’s just a wash.”

The tour begins at 1 p.m. at the Old Consulate Inn, 313 Walker St. The four buildings are, in tour order: ■ The Old Consulate Inn, also known as the Hastings House, is a National Historic Landmark and on the National Register of Preserved Places.

t $15, the tour is not particularly expensive and there is no ticket cap.

Barnett said he expects about 20 or 30 people, “but we can handle more, as long as it’s not hundreds.”

A

“The Red Victorian on the Hill,” as the inn has become known, has kept its original color through the years.

Trimmed in white with green accents, it hasn’t changed from how it must have looked over 100 years ago: A graceful, warm and friendly greeting from the town and a wide, sweeping verandah overlooking the bay.

■ The Commander’s Beach House, 400 Hudson St., was built in 1934 around the time when Fort Worden, Fort Flagler, Fort Casey and Old Fort Townsend were in their prime.

It was intended as the residence for the commanding medical officer of the U.S. Quarantine Station and has been occupied by a number of Coast Guard, Navy and Army commanding officers and their families.

It was decommissioned in 1955 and has been a bedand-breakfast for the past 20 years.

■ The Quimper Inn, 1306 Franklin St., was built in 1888 and “renovated” in 1904 to reflect a craftsman interior rather than a standard Victorian layout.

This gives it a unique flavor with plate glass, closets and a large third floor

living space, things not usually found in a Victorian home.

It was used as a rooming house during World War II and has been operated as a bed and breakfast since 1990.

■ The three-story Bishop Victorian Hotel, 714 Washington St., was built in 1891 as a freight storage facility by William Bishop Sr. at a cost of $15,000.

The hotel has assumed several incarnations through the years, including a carriage and buggy factory at the turn of the century, an attorney’s office and the Port Townsend Soda Works from 1911 through 1920.

Converted into apartments during World War II, the Bishop featured running water and electricity and housed many young married couples who made this building their first home together.

For more information or tickets, go to www.vicfest. org/yule.

Tickets also will be available at the Old Consulate Inn on the day of the event.

PA man earns military promotion PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

BLYN

Cyr is the son of Leslie A. LaFountaine of Tacoma and Michael L. Cyr of Port Angeles.

He is a 2009 graduate of John R. Rogers High School in Tacoma.

Diana came to Crestwood post surgically for removal of a left frontal lobe brain tumor. She was experiencing progressive weakness and confusion, along with word finding difficulties when she was hospitalized. She arrived with weakness specifically on the side of her body; she was unable to write or tie her shoes as she once had. Within days, Diane was able to maneuver in her wheel chair around the facility, always smiling and willing to work with her occupational, speech and physical therapists.

She eventually graduated to using a rolling walker, improvising her balance and endurance in standing to complete valued tasks such as jamming with her husband, Ron, as he would frequently bring in their music book and play Bluegrass tunes. They have spent many years together attending Bluegrass festivals and it was evident that as Diane progressed in her therapy, she was able to easier engage in playing her baritone ukulele or guitar as Ron strummed his mandolin by her side, both singing to their hearts content, bringing smiles and tapping toes to those who stopped to listen.

Within a few weeks, Diane progressed to walking without an assistive device and was found many times in occupational therapy doing the “electric slide,” confidently completing the grapevine with ease. By the end of her time at Crestwood, she easily was able to care for herself, completing her basic routine with independence, accessing medical appointments with her husband and socializing within the facility with ease. We wish her the best of luck and will miss her!!

Food, Africa on tap for Sequim discussion group Meeting set for 10 a.m. today PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

SEQUIM — The Sequim Great Decisions Discussion Group will meet at the Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave., from 10 a.m. to noon today to talk about “Food and the Transformation of Africa: Getting Smallholders Connected.�

The suggested background reading for this discussion is the article “Food and the Transformation of Africa� from the November/ December issue of Foreign Affairs, published by the Council on Foreign Relations.

According to a news release: “In recent years, African agricultural policies have been haphazard and inconsistent. “Some countries have neglected smallholders in

favor of commercial farmers.

Others have given them attention but focused narrowly on increasing their productivity. “African farms’ harvests are indeed much smaller than harvests elsewhere, so increasing productivity is important. But agriculture is about more than yields. “A vast food system spreads beyond farm and table to touch almost every aspect of life in every society. Making that system in Africa as robust as possible will not merely prevent starvation. “It will also fight poverty, disease and malnutrition; create businesses and jobs; and boost the continent’s economies and improve its trade balances.�

New members are welcome.

For more information, email jcpollock@olypen. com or phone 360-683-9622.

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT TOWNSEND — With his Holiday Hi-Jinx shows sold out for the past two years, Paul Rogers and his band are back for this year’s edition at the Key City Playhouse on Tuesday and Wednesday evening, Dec. 22 and 23.

In shows at 7:30 p.m. both nights, Rogers and the Holiday Hi-Jinxers — George Rezendes, Tom Svornich, Kurt Festinger, Dirk Anderson and vocalist Carla Main — will dish up a feast of irreverent Christmas music.

Tickets to the concerts are $15 via www.keycitypublictheatre.org and 360385-KCPT (5278).

Among Rogers’ time-honored favorites are “Santa Don’t Do It (Shave on Christmas Eve),” “Rockin’ the Nativity Scene” and NPR’s 2002 Christmas song of the year, “Santa Lost A Ho.” Then there are some fresh numbers: “Working on the Holiday,” “Creepy Santa” and “Stuffing the Bird,” which Rogers feels will soon be a yuletide as well as Thanksgiving classic.

“Port Townsend folks are always a pleasure to play for.

They give back so much great energy.”

PAUL ROGERS Holiday Hi-Jinxers For the Holiday Hi-Jinx band, Rogers is gathering the same bunch as last year.

“Who wouldn’t? These are some of the best musicians on the Olympic Peninsula,” he says.

To mix things up a bit, drummer Svornich is preparing to sing “Santa Claus Wants Some Loving,” Main is primed to belt out “Please Come Home for Christmas,” bassist Anderson will take over the singing duties on “Shopping for Myself,” and both Main and Rezendes will assist Rogers on the Dan Hicks tune “Under The Mistletoe.”

A member of the San Francisco Bay Area’s Christmas Jug Band and longtime frontman for Those Darn Accordions, Rogers said these Peninsula shows are something he relishes.

“Port Townsend folks are always a pleasure to play for,” he said.

“They give back so much great energy.”

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been married three years.

It has been rocky since year two.

She’s a great mother to our kids, especially the one who is medically challenged. We have broken up twice so far, and are now back together.

However, because of my job, we live in different states.

Bottom line: I’m no longer sure this is the right relationship for me.

She goes to school full time while I work a ton of overtime to support two households. We hardly see or spend time with each other.

She has said she would rather me work and not see me so that everything gets paid.

I feel she’s more about the money than the marriage.

That you call your husband and your former boyfriend by the same name is interesting.

Could it be that subconsciously you are/were afraid that if you don’t use the same pet name, you will absentmindedly use the wrong one?

Dear Abby: My cousin and I have season tickets for the Broadway series at our local theater.

Our problem is two women who sit next to us in the box.

After intermission, when the second act starts, they talk loudly to each other as long as 10 minutes into the show.

I want to say something, but I don’t want to cause any negativity or bad feelings because we will see them at each show.

How should I deal with it?

Dear Member: Here’s how: When the women continue their conversation after the curtain rises, you say to the one nearest you, “Please be quiet. We can’t hear the performance.”

That’s not rude; it’s being assertive.

If they persist after that, complain to the management and ask that, if possible, in the future you be seated apart from the magpies.

Dear Abby: Why does it feel awkward for me to call my husband by his first name?

When I say his name from another room to get his attention, it only feels natural for me to call him “Babe.”

When I’m talking about him to someone else, I use his name, but it still makes me cringe.

It’s a perfectly normal, common name, so I don’t know why it makes me so uncomfortable.

Dear Unhappily: You and your wife both appear to be carrying a heavy load.

For the sake of your children, it would be nice if your marriage could be resuscitated.

However, not every marriage can be — and the arrangement you have now is clearly not working for you.

If your wife actually feels that she would rather not see you so that everything gets paid, then I think she has made her feelings clear.

The marriage no longer exists; it’s a financial arrangement.

For that, you both have my sympathy.

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

COYLE — Such a good time was had last December with Lynne and Roger Ferguson that “we decided right then and there to have them back again next year, if they were willing,” Norm Johnson recalls.

Next year is here, and so are Lynne and Roger, formerly married folk musicians headed back to the Laurel B. Johnson Community Center for a Sunday afternoon Christmas concert.

“That was a really fun show.

People are so nice; it’s a beautiful drive. Everything’s good about it,” Lynne said of the gig.

In this year’s model, to start at 3 p.m. Sunday, admission will again be by donation while listeners of all ages are welcome. As ever, Johnson will serve up complimentary coffee and cookies at intermission.

“I’m going to sing a bunch of Christmas carols, with acoustic instruments,” Lynne promised, “and some material from ‘Wintersongs,’ ” her CD. Some original country songs and, for good measure, Duke Ellington’s “Drop Me Off in Har-

Roger, a flat-pick guitar champion, will be by her side, seeing

as how he knows all of Lynne’s songs well.

“I really enjoy working with

him,” she said of the man to whom she was married for 20-something years.

Lynne makes her home in Suquamish, where she runs the Native Horsemanship Youth Program (Nativehorsemanship.org).

As with last year’s concert, donations from Sunday’s show will benefit the nonprofit organization, which offers classes to young people with disabilities, regardless of their ability to pay.

Lynne is known for her country- and folk-music career, one that has included working with Mark O’Connor, Jerry Douglas and Taj Mahal.

Today she is devoted to the horsemanship program, “a very grass-roots nonprofit” run by volunteers such as herself.

“A small donation is huge to us,” she said.

On “Young Blood,” Pyles, the band’s joke-telling bass player, has a rare vocal part.

Which is all the better for that harmonic experience.

Kelly says still more inspiration comes from classical ballet dancer Misty Copeland, the author of Life In Motion.

A member of the American Ballet Theatre of New York City, Copeland became the company’s second African American female soloist in August 2007.

This past June, she was named principal dancer, making her the first African American woman to ever be promoted to the position in ABT’s 75-year history.
