OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK — Three days after the first deadly animal attack in Olympic National Park’s 72-year history, wildlife biologist Scott Gremel and backcountry ranger Lynn Malarkey kept a sharp eye on six mountain goats grazing on alpine grass just below the top Klahhane Ridge. Gremel and Malarkey are part of Olympic National Park’s stepped-up presence at Klahhane Ridge after a hiker was fatally gored there by a nearly 4-foot-tall, 300-pound mountain
goat on Saturday. “We watched the group,” said Gremel, referring to four adults and two youngsters that he shot with a paintball gun for identification. “They were not at all aggressive.”

PORT TOWNSEND — Paul Richmond has accused Scott Rosekrans, his opponent in the election race for Jefferson County prosecutor, of “targeting homosexuals as criminals” during Rosekrans’ time as a Houston policeman in the 1970s and 1980s. Rosekrans denied the allegations. “This can’t be confirmed because it is not true,” Rosekrans told the Peninsula Daily News. “This is libel and slander, and he’d better be able to back it up,” Rosekrans Richmond, a Port Townsend attorney, made the allegations in a letter he sent out Monday resigning from the Jefferson County Democrats. In the letter, he accused Rosekrans, a county deputy criminal prosecutor, of belonging to a police “chicken hawk Richmond squad” that entrapped gay males and used at-risk youth for bait. “I resign from the local Democratic Party,” Richmond wrote. “The party has been dishonest about the causes of the economic crisis, dishonest about addressing issues of prosecutorial discretion and dishonest about the horrendous background of their prosecutorial candidate during the time he worked a vice squad in Houston targeting gays, a group that is supposed to be part of the ‘big tent.’” Turn
