No arrest in deadly shooting

Fire in rural PA

Resident of PA house not home, described ‘in pretty rough shape’ Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — The man listed in an online phone directory as the person who lives in the two-story house where a deadly shooting occurred Monday was not home Thursday. Port Angeles police have not identified the man involved in the shooting death of Robert Fowler, 63, at 211 E. Vashon Ave. Whitepages.com lists the residents of the house as Bobby Smith and Janice Smith. A man who was working inside the home said Bobby Smith was not there. “He’s in pretty rough shape, as you could imagine,” the unidentified man said. “He can’t even come in the house.” The man declined to comment further. “We’ll just keep it at that,” he said.

Police detectives continued to investigate the shooting that occurred three days earlier. “Today, detectives are processing and cataloging evidence and writing reports,” said Port Angeles Police Detective Cpl. Jason Viada. Police have not named the suspected shooter, who was believed to have lived in the house where the shooting occurred. “The reason I’m not naming him is because he hasn’t been arrested or charged with anything,” Viada said. Neighbors said Fowler lived at 209 E. Vashon Ave., next door to the house where he was killed. Turn

PORT TOWNSEND — The tricky currents of Admiralty Inlet proved as devious as Coyote of Indian legend Thursday as the Antipodes made its second dive to the SS Governor. Crew members timed the voyage right before slack tide, allowing them to reach the wreck of the passenger liner with little difficulty. On Wednesday, they had fought the tide to reach the 417-foot long hulk. Their plan for today’s dive is to split the difference between the two previous departure times to make the most of the slack water. Both dives so far have produced twodimensional sonar scans as well as highdefinition videography of the ship that went down after midnight April 1, 1921, after being rammed by the freighter SS West Hartland.

Plans for today Today’s dive should produce stunning three-dimensional sonar scans that the expedition organizer, the OceanGate company of Everett, plans to share with Port Townsend the evening of Thursday, Aug. 4, at the Northwest Maritime Center in Port Townsend. Turn

PORT ANGELES — The City Council has heard a lot during public comment over the years. Residents have used the few minutes they get to address the council to speak for or against the issues of the day. But none had used the opportunity to express themselves through song. That is, until recently. The man and woman leading the cause to save the Lincoln Park trees broke out in a tune Tuesday championing environmental protection. “We can save our mother, our mother,” sang Devon Graywolf while casually tapping on a small drum, with William Hunt accompanying her.
