very forward-thinking policy go into effect that will protect all of Washington residents,” said Erika Schreder, staff scientist with the Washington Toxics Coalition. She noted that the only two U.S. makers of deca and the largest importer of deca voluntarily agreed in late 2009 to stop producing and importing deca for most uses by 2012. “Action here at the state level can have national implications and change the whole way the industry does business,” Schreder said.

Deca, one of three main types of PBDEs, or polybrominated diphenyl ethers, is largely used in the black plastic casings of TVs. The makers of the other two forms — penta and octa — voluntarily agreed to stop making them by the end of 2004. Washington’s law required state officials to identify safer alternatives that would meet fire safety standards before the ban on deca could take effect. Turn

Getting 2011 off to a rousing start By Julie McCormick

For Peninsula Daily News

sk anyone who jumped into chilly Mystery Bay water on a sunny but below-freezing New Year’s Day why they did it, and you get answers that make no sense to those who opt to stay dry and warm. “It’s fun,” said Amanda Roark, still dripping after her plunge Saturday into the water in Nordland on Marrowstone Island. “I saw my dad went in,” said Caullin McLarney, 8, the last of the 75 or so people to make the same dive off the same dock — and also the youngest this year. “I’ve done it every year since 2001,” said Marc Gordon, a bearded giant decked out in an equally large wedding dress for what he proclaimed is going to be his “honeymoon year.” Maybe it was because they were all so “artistic and crazy” — emphasis on the latter — like Karen Choyce asserted after deciding to forgo a planned chi-chi party in Seattle just to watch the goings-on in Nordland, along with about 300 other people.

Dalzell applauded as she leaves post By Julie McCormick For Peninsula Daily News

PORT TOWNSEND — There was a surprise candidate for drug court graduation in Jefferson County Superior Court last week, and she had some surprising words for the roomful of wellwishers who came to congratulate the two announced grads. “Drug court is very near and dear to my heart because I come from a long line of alcoholics,” said departing county Prosecuting Attorney Juelie Dalzell on Thursday.

As the child of two parents who died of alcoholism, drug court “has been part of my recovery,” she said. “Each time one of you gets close to your family again, it heals a little part of me.” With that, Judge Craddock Verser read out Dalzell’s officially sanctioned “dismissal with prejudice” — the same document other grads got — and Dalzell’s days in drug court were over. By the end of the day, her 12 years as elected prosecutor also were over. Turn

New rules could affect biomass By Tom Callis

Dave Boone

Retiring Prosecuting Attorney Juelie Dalzell

The federal government’s first greenhouse gas regulations, which took effect Saturday, have caused a stir among some biomass proponents who believe that woodto-energy projects should be exempt. Meanwhile, those opposed to the burning of wood waste for power applaud the new requirements. Biomass energy projects are planned on the North Olympic Peninsula at Nippon Paper Industries USA in Port Angeles and the Port Townsend Paper Corp. mill. Both burn wood waste now and expect to have upgraded facilities online sometime next year.

Dalzell/A7 said she loves “putting bad guys in jail.”

TOM VANDERGRIFF, 84, the former mayor of Arlington, Texas, who 40 years ago helped lure the Washington Senators baseball team to Texas, where they became the Rangers, died Thursday in Fort Worth. His death was confirmed by his son, Victor. Born in Carrollton, Texas, on Jan. 29, Mr. 1926, Mr. Vandergriff Vandergriff in 1970 moved to Arlington when he was 11. He was elected the city’s youngest mayor at age 25 in 1951 and soon helped attract a General Motors plant. He then welcomed another developer’s idea to build an amusement park for the plant’s employees. The park, Six Flags Over Texas, grew into one of the state’s top tourist attractions. Mr. Vandergriff worked for 13 years to bring a Major League Baseball team to Arlington. In 1965, he brought Dallas and Fort Worth officials together to help build a minor league stadium that was later expanded to accommodate the Senators when they relocated. He threw out the first pitch April 21, 1972, at the Rangers’ home opener. Mr. Vandergriff gave up the mayor’s office in 1977, served one term as a Democratic congressman and was a Republican judge in Tarrant County from 1991 until he retired in 2007. He was instrumental in the building of the Ball-

park in Arlington, which opened in 1994. The Rangers’ stadium now sits a few hundred yards from the $1.3 billion Cowboys Stadium, the year-old home of the Dallas Cowboys and site of the Super Bowl in February.

STEVE BOROS, 74, a former big league manager and infielder who later played a key behind-thescenes role in one of baseball’s most thrilling World Series moments, has died. Mr. Boros died Wednesday night in Deland, Fla., where he had spent his recent Mr. Boros years, the in 1983 Detroit Tigers said Thursday. The team said it didn’t have any other details on his death. Mr. Boros hit .245 with 26 home runs and 149 RBIs in parts of seven seasons with Detroit, the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati. He managed the Oakland Athletics in 1983 and part of 1984, and guided the San Diego Padres in 1986.

Born in Michigan, Mr. Boros made his major league debut with Detroit in 1957 and mostly played third base. He hit three homers in a game in 1962 — no other Tigers player accomplished the feat until Bill Freehan in 1971. But it was his work as an advance scout for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1988 that really showed off his baseball smarts. Mr. Boros was part of a scout team that filled out reports that fall on the Athletics, the Dodgers’ opponent in the World Series. Mr. Boros worked for more than four decades in baseball and coached for Kansas City, Montreal, the Dodgers and Baltimore. He spent the last nine years of his career in the

1936 (75 years ago) The first baby of 1936 is a daughter for Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Burton of Route 1, Sequim. The girl was born at Port Angeles General Hospital at 1:15 a.m. New Year’s Day. A little girl born to Mr. and Mrs. Warren Weaver of Heckel’s Camp just missed the midnight gong by 15 minutes at Davidson and Hay Hospital. She was the last baby born in 1935.

1961 (50 years ago) Newspaper editors and the staff of The Associated Press across the state selected the Hood Canal Bridge pontoon damage and resultant construction delay as the state’s No. 2 story of 1960. Storms early in the year significantly damaged six pontoons that were awaiting installation of the new floating bridge, delaying the bridge’s construction and opening by at least a year. The No. 1 story of 1960 was the Nov. 8 election in which Gov. Albert D. Rosellini was re-elected but John F. Kennedy failed to

win the state’s nine electoral votes in the presidential race against Richard M. Nixon.

1986 (25 years ago) High winds whipped up the Strait of Juan de Fuca, giving Mother Nature a chance to do oil cleanup on her own. “The effects of the winds have been excellent,” said Bob Levine, the person in charge of the cleanup operation for ARCO Marine Inc. The oil was spilled from the tanker Arco Anchorage in Port Angeles Harbor on Dec. 21. The largest concentration of oil continues to be within Port Angeles Harbor. Meanwhile, ITT Rayonier has made a preliminary estimate of between $3 million and $4 million in lost revenue as the result of crude oil clinging to Rayonier’s timber in the harbor.

Briefly: Nation Seven die of injuries from tornadoes KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Shaken residents spent New Year’s Day sifting through the wreckage wrought by tornadoes that touched down in several states on the last day of 2010, killing seven people in two states and injuring dozens of others. Six of the victims — three in Missouri and three in Arkansas — died Friday as tornadoes fueled by unusually warm air pummeled the South and Midwest. A seventh victim who was injured Friday near the Missouri town of Rolla died Saturday at a hospital in Columbia, said Bruce Southard, the chief of the Rolla Rural Fire Department. The woman, whose name wasn’t immediately released, was entertaining a friend, Alice Cox, 69, of Belle, Mo., in her trailer when the twister hit. Southard said nothing was left of the trailer except for the frame and that the twister scattered debris 40 to 50 yards from where the trailer had sat. The woman was found under a pile of debris, Southard said. “It’s like you set a bomb off in it,” Southard said in a phone interview. “It just annihilated it.”

112-year-old dies OCALA, Fla. — Florida’s oldest resident, a 112-year-old woman counted among the world’s 25 oldest people by a research group, has died. Onie Ponder of Ocala died Friday morning. Her son, Carswell Ponder, said his mother died after a brief bout with pneumonia. According to the Los Angeles-

based Gerontology Research Group, Onie Ponder had been the oldest person in Florida and one of the 25 oldest people in the Ponder world. She was born Sept. 3, 1898. She was asked about her secret for longevity at her birthday party in September. Ponder told the Ocala Star-Banner: “The good Lord had something to do with it. He treats me pretty well.” Carswell Ponder said his mother stayed active all her life and that she liked to read and listened to books on tape after her eyesight deteriorated.

17 hurt in rave LOS ANGELES – Authorities said 17 people were hospitalized after a New Year’s Eve rave at the Los Angeles Sports Arena that drew thousands of partyers and a heavy police presence. Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said an additional 62 people were treated on site for a variety of minor injuries and illnesses. Several people were arrested on suspicion of drug possession. The Los Angeles Times reported that more than 26,000 people turned out for the annual electronic music festival Together As One. The event started at 5 p.m. Friday and ran until 2 a.m. Saturday. Raves were banned at the arena and the adjoining Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in June after the overdose death of a 15-year-old girl. Commissioners lifted the ban in November. The Associated Press

Christians, police clash after New Year’s bomb Suicide attack in Egypt leaves 21 dead; government blamed By Maggie Michael and Lee Keath The Associated Press

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt — Christians clashed with Egyptian police in the northern city of Alexandria on Saturday, furious over an apparent suicide bombing against worshippers leaving a New Year’s Mass at a church that killed at least 21 people. It was the worst violence against the country’s Christian minority in a decade. The Interior Ministry blamed “foreign elements,” and the Alexandria governor accused al-Qaida, pointing to the terror network’s branch in Iraq, which has carried out a string of attacks on Christians there and has threatened Egypt’s Coptic Orthodox Christian community as well. Egypt’s government has long insisted that the terror network does not have a significant presence in the country, and it has never been conclusively linked to any attacks here. If al-Qaida was involved, it raises the prospect of a serious new security threat within Egypt. President Barack Obama condemned “this barbaric and heinous act” and said those behind it must be brought to justice. The bombing, about a half hour after the stroke of the New Year,

stoked tensions that have grown in recent years between Egypt’s Christians and the Muslim majority. It was dramatically different from past attacks on Christians, which included shootings but not serious bombings, much less suicide attacks. Christians have increasingly blamed the government for not taking violence against them or antiChristian sentiment among Muslim hard-liners seriously. In the wake of the New Year’s bombing, they unleashed their rage at authorities. “Now it’s between Christians and the government, not between Muslims and Christians,” shrieked one Christian woman as several hundred young men clashed with helmeted riot police in the street outside the targeted church hours after the blast. As the rioters threw stones and bottles, police fired rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse them. Some of the protesters beat Muslim passers-by. Nearly 1,000 Christians were attending the midnight Mass at the Saints Church in the Mediterranean port of Alexandria, said Father Mena Adel, a priest at the church. The service had just ended, and some worshippers were leaving the building when the bomb went off about a half hour after midnight,

he said. “The last thing I heard was a powerful explosion, and then my ears went deaf,” Marco Boutros, a 17-year-old survivor, said from his hospital bed. “All I could see were body parts scattered all over — legs and bits of flesh.” Blood splattered the facade of the church, a painting of Jesus inside and a mosque across the street. The blast mangled at least six cars on the street, setting some ablaze. As bodies were taken away after daybreak, some in the congregation waved white sheets with the sign of the cross emblazoned on them with what appeared to be the victims’ blood. Health Ministry spokesman Abdel-Rahman Shahine said the death toll stood at 21, with 97 wounded, almost all Christians. Among the wounded were the three policemen and an officer guarding the church. The Interior Ministry said in a statement that it was likely the blast was detonated by a suicide bomber and that the attack probably involved “foreign elements.” Investigators were examining two heads found at the site on suspicion at least one was the bomber, the state news agency MENA reported. The last major terror attacks in Egypt were between 2004-2006, when bombings hit three tourist resorts in the Sinai peninsula, killing 125 people.

FAA: Lost contact with jet prompted Capitol evacuation By Sarah Brumfield The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — An airliner lost radio contact when a pilot inadvertently turned his radio to the wrong frequency, leading to the scrambling of fighter jets and the evacuation of the U.S. Capitol, federal officials said Saturday. Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters said the agency is reviewing the “pilot readback error.” The loss of radio contact as the plane approached the nation’s capital also led officials to evacuate all House and Senate office buildings.

Quick Read

Piedmont Airlines flight 4352 from Hilton Head, S.C., was on course for Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport when it lost radio contact with air traffic controllers at a regional radar facility in Virginia for about 15 minutes, FAA officials said. F-16 fighter jets were scrambled from Andrews Air Force Base, but the airliner was able to reestablish radio contact and it landed at Reagan, said Stacey Knott, a spokeswoman for the North American Aerospace Defense Command. The evacuation order was issued around 1:30 p.m. and was

called off about a half-hour later when the plane landed. Salisbury, Md.-based Piedmont is a wholly owned subsidiary of US Airways. US Airways spokeswoman Tina Swail said the airline was working with local authorities to investigate the incident. The number of passengers on board wasn’t immediately known. The company’s website says it operates 44 de Havilland DHC-8 turboprop aircraft, which can carry between 37 and 80 passengers depending on the model type.

West: Rare ‘panda cow’ born in Northern Colorado

Nation: $13 million bail for bank standoff suspects

Nation: Deputy, suspect dead in trailer park standoff

Nation: No ticket winner, so lottery up to $290 million

A RARE MINIATURE cow with markings similar to a panda bear was born on a farm in Campion in northern Colorado. The so-called “panda cow” born in Larimer County is thought to be one of only about 24 in the world. The (Loveland) Reporter-Herald reported that the male calf named Ben was born Friday morning. His mother is a Lowline Angus cow. Farmer Chris Jessen raises miniature cattle and also owns a miniature kangaroo on his hobby farm. The miniature panda cow is the result of genetic manipulation. The cow has a white face with black ovals around the eyes, giving it a panda-like appearance.

POLICE SAID TWO masked gunman accused of trying to rob a suburban Houston bank and take several people hostage are in jail with bail set at $13 million each. Pearland Police Lt. Onesmio Lopez said Saturday that 39-year-old Samuel Bonner and 29-year-old Raymond Johnson were being held in the Brazoria County Jail. Each man was charged with 13 counts of aggravated robbery — one count for each hostage taken — as well as for the robbery of the Chase Bank branch in Pearland, Lopez said. It was not immediately known whether the men had attorneys.

A SHERIFF’S DEPUTY investigating a report of gunfire at a trailer park was shot dead Saturday, and the shooting suspect was killed after a furious standoff with police, authorities said. A police officer was wounded. The slain deputy was married and was the mother of two children, Clark County Sheriff Gene Kelly said. He didn’t release the names of the deputy or the suspect killed in the standoff in Enon Beach, about 50 miles west of Columbus, Ohio. The deputy was shot as she tried to photograph a footprint, Kelly said. “This,” he said, “is the worst day of my entire law enforcement career.”

SEQUIM — A young bald eagle the Agnew-based Northwest Raptor & Wildlife Center rescued after the bird was shot and seriously wounded Dec. 15 has taken another step toward recovery — breathing fresh air and basking in sunlight. The bird was eating well and responding to stimuli after being placed in an outdoor cage, said Matthew Randazzo, wildlife center spokesman, on Friday. “We are happy to report that the wounded bald eagle was able to breathe fresh air and enjoy the sunlight for the first time in two weeks,” Randazzo said.

Should an X-ray show that surgery is not needed, the bird would be moved from Greywolf Veterinary Hospital in Sequim to the center for rehabilitation.

Peninsula Daily News

PORT TOWNSEND — You’ve probably heard all about the “Glee” TV show — and while that fiction is well and good, glee PT is the real thing. Right after Thanksgiving, composer and jazz piano teacher Linda Dowdell got the job at Port Townsend High School: forming a choir or glee club. About 20 students showed up and started rehearsing — and next thing they knew, they were warming up the crowd for “The Nutcracker” at Seattle Center. Jennifer Nielsen, who teaches English and directs plays and musicals at the high school, alerted Dowdell to the fact the Pacific Northwest Ballet, presenter of “The Nutcracker,” offers student groups free tickets to performances in exchange for singing holiday songs in McCaw Hall’s grand

lobby pre-show. “I jumped at the offer, immediately rerouted our repertoire toward songs of the season that could be learned quickly, and we performed at last Wednesday’s matinee,” Dowdell said. That was Dec. 22; Dowdell also got the gleeful ones a gig at the holiday bazaar Dec. 18 and 19 at The Undertown, a coffeehouse at 211 Taylor St. in Port Townsend.

PORT ANGELES — While the city of Port Angeles has wholeheartedly embraced the move to socalled smart meters, the largest utility in Clallam County is remaining much more cool about the technology. The Clallam Public Utility District, which includes the county outside of the Port Angeles city limit, has put any serious consideration of making the switch on hold for likely three to five years, said spokesman Mike Howe.

Baby girl first reported birth in 2011 By Paige Dickerson Peninsula Daily News

healthy and happy, John said. “My wife is doing amazing. She is still glowing,” he said. “I am a pretty proud dad, too. “I don’t know what words can capture the emotion involved,” he said. “You feel a new breath to life, that’s for sure.” Said Gautschi, the midwife: “She is a beautiful little girl, and it was a beautiful birth.” A nursing supervisor at Jefferson Healthcare hospital in Port Townsend said Eden was the earliest birth she had heard of so far in both home and hospital births throughout the North Olympic Peninsula.

A baby girl born in a Port Hadlock home is the first reported birth of a North Olympic Peninsula baby in 2011. Imri-Lael Holloway, 28, and John Holloway, 30, saw Eden Marie Holloway for the first time at 2:42 a.m. Saturday, according to midwife Carol Gautschi. The first baby born in a hospital on the Peninsula this year was also the first reported birth in Clallam County. Chance William Kemp was born to Katherine and Christopher Kemp of Port Angeles on New Year’s Day — and the baby’s mother’s birthday — at 10:58 a.m. at Olympic Medical Center. OMC birth

First child Eden is the first child for both the Holloways, John said. She was born weighing 7 pounds 3 ounces and was 20½ inches long The Holloways decided to have the baby at home, after hearing about home births from some of John’s co-workers, he said. “It was an amazing experience,” he said. “My wife was in labor for 23 hours and 45 minutes — and it was all natural, no drugs or anything like that.” Both mom and baby were

Chance Kemp’s birth follows a pattern set by his mother, Katherine. In addition to being born the same day of the year, Chance and Katherine also shared the same due date — Dec. 28 — and both were four days late, said husband and father Christopher. The night before her birthday on New Year’s Day, Katherine and Christopher rushed to OMC in Port Angeles. Katherine, 23, who was four days overdue with her second child, has an old hip injury. It was flaring up, said Christopher, 25.

Eden Marie Holloway, the first baby reported born in 2011 on the North Olympic Peninsula, cuddles with her mother, Imri-Lael Holloway, moments after her 2:42 a.m. Saturday birth in Port Hadlock. At the hospital, they were told she also was in labor. “We came in at about 8 [p.m. Friday], and she was in a lot of pain,” Christopher said. “It was moving really slow, so in order to speed it up, they had to induce her.”

PA Coast Guard helps in rescue LA CONNER — Two boaters who ran aground near Skagit Bay were rescued when a Coast Guard helicopter crew from Port Angeles hoisted them from the stranded skiff. The two boaters were in a 20-foot inflatable skiff when they ran aground at about 6 p.m. Thursday. The Skagit County Sheriff’s Office initially launched a crew to help at about 7 p.m., but because of the shallow water could not reach the pair, whose names were not released, the Coast Guard said in a prepared statement. The Sheriff’s Office had told the boaters to wait in the skiff until high tide so they could reach shore safely, but the two tried to wade to shore shortly thereafter, the Coast Guard said. Because they could not reach the shore, they returned to the skiff and were suffering the early stages of hypothermia, the Coast Guard said. The HH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Air Station/Sector Field Office Port Angeles was then called in to hoist the pair and take them to Skagit Regional Airport where they were treated by medics and taken back to their vehicles.

the Tualatin Valley Highway in Aloha, Ore., near Portland. Vehicles in three out of the four lanes of traffic stopped, according to reports by KGW-TV news at the time of the wreck. Cecilio Venegas of Gresham, Ore., moved out of his lane of traffic to pass the other cars as the children were crossing, and his Ford Taurus struck all three of them, KGW reported. He was cited for passing a stopped vehicle in a crosswalk. As a result of the wreck, the Oregon Transportation Commission added a pedestrian-activated traffic signal at the crosswalk in 2011, KATU-TV News reported. Construction of the signal, originally planned for 2012, was moved up after the wreck. Because the crosswalk is not at an intersection, there is no traffic light in that area. KATU reported that that area of the highway is in Oregon state’s top 5 percent for frequency of reported crashes. “George was in [the intensive care unit] for 10 days,” Johnson-Ramos said. Alysha was kept overnight and released with minor injuries. Because Venegas had only limited liability insurance and the children are insured through Oregon’s state insurance program, the family has racked up medical bills in the thousands, Johnson-Ramos said.

“The bills are still coming in,” she said. But beyond the bills for the life-saving surgeries, she has also been trying to find support for two surgeries that are considered cosmetic, so they won’t be covered at all. Costing in the tens of thousands — but she doesn’t know exactly how much — she hopes to one day help her son have dental work for his teeth, which were chipped during the wreck, and a facial surgery for some fractures in his skull, she said. “He is 15, and he is selfconscious about it,” she said. “But they are not considered necessary, so they won’t be paid for at all.” The facial surgery would correct a fracture just above his eyebrow, she said. The family had purchased a new car just two days before the wreck and had not yet signed the papers on the insurance, she said. “It was really, really bad timing because we found out that even though our car wasn’t involved, that if we had had insurance, our insurance would have helped out, too,” she said. Because of the multitude of surgeries — not to mention the cast he has worn on his left arm for nearly the whole year — George was not able to play sports this year, but he did help coach younger-age teams. “He was really glad that he got to do that,” JohnsonRamos said. Johnson-Ramos has set up an account at Wells Fargo under her son’s name, George Johnson. Any branch of the bank can accept donations in his name.

PORT ANGELES — A 20-year-old Port Angeles man has been sentenced to 60 months in prison for a series of thefts and 22 months for forgery. Aaron Mylan was sentenced Dec. 14 after he signed a document earlier that month saying he was not admitting guilt but that he agreed prosecutors had enough evidence to convict him. He was charged with three counts of forgery, one count of second-degree theft, four counts of residential burglary, trafficking in stolen property and delivery of a controlled substance. According to court documents, Mylan was charged with entering homes in the Sequim and Port Angeles area and stealing more than $14,000 worth of items from the eight homes over a time period stretching from December 2009 to March 2010. For those crimes — as well as the drug and trafficking charges — he was sentenced to 60 months in prison, with a restitution hearing set for March 1. The plea agreement also settled a forgery case in

which he was accused of writing four checks in the name of Robert Schmidt in March 2010 totalling $2,337.77 to Port Angeles and Sequim stores. For the forgery charges, he was sentenced to 22 months in prison, to be served concurrently with his other sentence, according to court documents.

New tax law adds new, extends breaks Peninsula Daily News news services

WASHINTON — While much attention has been paid to the extension of Bush-era tax cuts in the massive tax package signed by President Barack Obama last month, Congress also tucked in other tax breaks and tweaks. And not everyone will benefit. The bill cuts the payroll tax so workers will get more in their paychecks next year, though some workers will see a bigger bump than others — and some won’t get any. The home improvement energy credit returns, but it’s stingier. Meanwhile, the federal estate tax is resurrected in a far more generous form. And a new feature was added to ease estate planning for married couples. Here’s the bottom line on some of the coming tax changes:

Payroll Tax Relief For next year only, the payroll tax taken out of your check for Social Security will be reduced by 2 percentage points. You’ll see 4.2 percent — instead of 6.2 percent — of the first $106,800 of earn-

ings going to Social Security. This will put an extra $2,136 in the paychecks of the highest earners. “It’s a way to get money into the hands of a lot of people,” said Mark Luscombe, principal tax analyst with CCH, an Illinois provider of tax information. But this tax break is skewed in favor of higherincome folks, said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center in Washington. In fact, low-income workers could end up paying more in taxes next year than this year. That’s because this tax cut replaces the Making Work Pay Credit, which reduced tax withholdings for two years so that workers got up to $400 more in their paychecks annually and up to $800 if they’re married. That means singles earning less than $20,000 and couples making under $40,000 will receive less from the payroll tax cut than they do from Making Work Pay, according to Williams. People earning more than that, though, are better off with the payroll tax cut.

For example, a couple earning $250,000 next year would get a payroll tax cut worth $4,272. They got nothing this year from Making Work Pay because they made too much to qualify. But if low-income workers feel a bit cheated, they won’t be the only ones. About 6 million people, made up of longtime federal employees and some state and local government workers, won’t get any payroll tax relief because they don’t participate in Social Security, Williams said.

Estate tax Members of Congress could not agree a year ago on how many millions of dollars the affluent should be able to shelter from the estate tax, so they let it lapse temporarily. Meanwhile, the estates of several billionaires who died this year, including New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, escaped taxes. But with the estate tax set to return in 2011 with terms far less generous than before, a deal was worked out. For the next two years, an individual will be able to exempt up to $5 million from the federal estate tax,

with married couples able to shelter up to $10 million. The maximum tax rate on estates above that will be 35 percent. Congress also added a new feature to make estate planning easier for married couples. Traditionally, spouses have set up trusts and titled assets in a certain way to take full advantage of each partner’s exemption from federal estate taxes, said Kenneth Aneckstein, a Baltimore estate planning lawyer. But the new law eliminates this hassle. It does so by making the exemption “portable” between spouses after one dies. So if a husband dies next year without fully using his $5 million exemption, the unused portion can be transferred to his wife and used at her death along with her own exemption.

estate tax. But for some heirs, next year’s law could be more attractive. Traditionally, if you inherited appreciated stocks or other assets, the cost basis would be stepped up to the fair market at the time of the deceased’s death. This reduces or eliminates any capital gains taxes later when you sell the inheritance. But for this year only, there’s a cap on the amount of assets entitled to a stepup in basis. As an heir, you could end up having to pay capital gains taxes based on the original purchase price of the assets when selling them. And that could be steep. Next year’s estate tax eliminates the cap, which is why some might like that version of the law more. Billion-dollar estates such as Steinbrenner’s are better off under the 2010 law, while those under $5 million fare better under the 2011 law, said Williams of the Tax Policy Center. And those in between need to crunch the numbers to see which scenario is more beneficial, he said. You can still get a tax break for insulating your home, installing energy-

Choose your tax Congress also added another twist to the estate tax. If a person died this year, the estate can choose whether to follow the law for 2010 or 2011. You might think all would opt for this year’s law, when there is no

efficient windows or making other energy improvements. Congress revived this expiring credit, but next year, it’s only worth up to $500, or one-third the old maximum, Luscombe said. The credit is good for only one year, Luscombe said, and if you have taken advantage of the credit in the past and received a tax break worth at least $500, you won’t be able to do so again.

Alternative tax The Alternative Minimum Tax was created in the 1960s after a small number of rich people exploited deductions and avoided paying taxes. Nowadays, even middleincome taxpayers end up owing the tax because the AMT was never adjusted for inflation. Congress has applied short-term fixes to protect middle-income taxpayers. But the most recent patch expired last year. The new tax law raises the amount of income exempted from the AMT this year and next. The result: About 21 million households are spared from the AMT, according to CCH, the tax information provider.

mid-February fix,” IRS spokesman Dan Boone said, “but we want to allow plenty of time to make sure it is done correctly.” The tax agency is recalibrating its computers to handle a series of tax breaks that were scheduled to expire but were extended by the new law.

Sales tax deduction Among them are the deductions for state and local general sales taxes, which Washington state

taxpayers have to list as itemized deductions on Schedule A of their return. The delay will also affect those claiming the deduction of as much as $4,000 for college-education tuition and fees, or the educator-expense deduction of as much as $250 for out-of-pocket costs incurred by kindergarten-through-grade-12 teachers. More than two-thirds of the nearly 140 million Americans who file fed-

eral returns each year will not be affected by the delay, either because they take the standard IRS deduction or file later in the tax season anyway, Boone said. However, some people count on getting their annual tax refund early in the year, so any delay in the process can hurt, especially if the person is unemployed, behind on a mortgage or otherwise strapped for cash. The IRS said taxpayers

can minimize any confusion over the tax-law changes or extensions by filing electronically using commercial tax-preparation software or the e-file system available through the agency’s website, www.irs.gov. Tax-software vendors routinely provide customers with updates that reflect changes in the law. It is expected the software will be ready long before the IRS is ready to process returns.

Some health care provisions now on books Peninsula Daily News news services

WASHINGTON — The new year brought important changes to U.S. health insurance rules, as some provisions related to the new health care law take effect. The new rules are designed to help those caught in Medicare’s prescription-drug “doughnut hole,” offer seniors more preventive care and limit how much of customers’ money health insurance companies can keep for overhead and profit. They all went into effect Saturday. These provisions were not affected by a Dec. 13 federal court ruling in Virginia that declared another

piece of the new health care law — the requirement that all Americans buy health insurance — unconstitutional. The judge allowed implementation of the law to continue until a higher court rules on the issue.

New provisions What’s new includes: ■ A provision that limits what health insurers can do with the money their customers send in as premiums. The rule requires that insurers spend at least 80 percent of this money on the customers. The companies must either spend this money to pay insurance claims or use it for activities that improve

customers’ health. For policies that are sold to large groups instead of small companies and individuals, the number is even higher — 85 percent. The remaining 15 percent or 20 percent of the money can be used for company salaries, marketing and overhead, or kept as profit. Previously, there was no federal restriction on insurance companies’ spending. The federal government said some insurers kept 30 percent or 50 percent. Insurance companies said this could cause them to pare the services they offer or pull out of states where administrative costs are higher. State officials also worry

that the companies might cut the fees they pay to insurance brokers. That, they fear, would eliminate key middlemen who help individuals navigate a complicated insurance system. ■ A provision that provides prescription-drug discounts for seniors who find themselves in Medicare’s “doughnut hole.” The doughnut hole is a gap in the Medicare prescription-drug benefit passed in 2006. In 2010, for instance, Medicare paid for part of the cost of drugs, until the total cost of the drugs hit $2,830. After that, seniors were responsible for 100 percent of the cost of their drugs,

until they had spent $3,610 of their own money. That was the other side of the doughnut hole, and federal insurance kicked in again. This provision will give Medicare recipients stuck in the doughnut hole a 50 percent discount on the price of brand-name prescription drugs. Health care activists are worried that drugmakers will jack up their prices. In that case, customers would receive 50 percent off that higher number, which might not be much less than what they were paying before. ■ A provision giving seniors free screenings for cancer and other diseases. Nearly all Medicare ben-

eficiaries will be able to receive for free all “preventive services” screenings given an A or B rating by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. That could include mammograms, colorectal cancer screening, bone-mass measurement and nutritional counseling. Medicare will also provide one free “wellness visit” a year for patients who want a checkup. ■ Creation of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation. This new agency is aimed at slowing the rapid rise of health care costs. It is supposed to foster innovation in caring for patients and processing their payments and claims.

State Patrol spokesman, said there has been a significant increase in the number of collisions since the 2007 law took effect. He said the number of collisions where troopers were struck increased from 18 in 2007 to 30 in 2008, and there have been more than 20 accidents a year since then with troopers alone, not counting other emergency or tow vehicles. In September, a tow truck driver working on a disabled vehicle on the side of Interstate 5 was killed when an SUV crashed into him.

Drunken driving, bail Other laws that took effect Saturday: ■ A new law expands the category of drivers arrested for drunken driving who can apply for a special license to drive with an ignition-interlock device. The device tests for alcohol in their breath before the car will start. Under a 2008 law, only drivers arrested for drunken driving could apply for the device. Now, those who have been convicted of vehicular

homicide or vehicular assault due to DUI can also apply. Under the underlying law, a person with an interlock license would have the device on their car for either one, five or 10 years, depending on their record. The new law also requires that a driver with a device have no failed blows on starting their car for four consecutive months before the device can be removed. ■ A measure that requires a judge to personally set bail for people arrested on felony charges. It was one of several bills sparked by the fatal shootings of four Lakewood police officers in November 2009. Currently, several counties have a system, called “booking bail,” where a formula is used to set bail amounts if arrests are made on the weekends or a holiday. However, the law expires Aug. 1, and a bail practices workgroup that was created by the Legislature has recommended in a report to the Legislature that the law be allowed to lapse.

In August 2008, Jefferson County Superior Court Judge Craddock Verser ruled that Whipple’s name should be removed from the county’s list of sexual offenders, his DNA samples should be removed from the state database, and his court fees should be refunded. Whipple already had served sentences of six months in jail and a year’s probation. Dalzell said that since then, the state Legislature has changed the law. The point upon which

Rules: Supporters want biomass to be exempt Continued from A1 Nippon plans a new boiler, while the Port Townsend mill intends to install a new steam generator. The new Environmental Protection Agency regulations, known as the “tailoring rule,” are intended to improve fuel efficiency among large emitters of Earth-warming gases. The rule targets facilities that emit more than 100,000 tons of greenhouse gases per year.

Carbon-neutral?

Not worried The environmental manager for Nippon Paper Industries USA in Port Angeles said he’s not worried about the new regulations. Paul Perlwitz said the mill on Marine Drive will fall under the new regulations but he expects that the plant’s plans for a new biomass boiler will easily meet EPA’s new requirements. “We don’t have any concerns,” Perlwitz said, adding that the new boiler will be far more efficient. “We think we already meet the requirements under the tailoring rule.” Nippon’s new boiler would produce steam to make telephone book paper and newsprint, and generate up to 20 megawatts of electrical power. The company then could sell credits for the electrical power. The state Department of Ecology granted the Port Townsend mill on Oct. 25 a “notice of construction” permit for its $55 million project, which would generate up to 24 megawatts of electrical power. A call for a request for comment from the Port Townsend mill was not returned. The company has a policy of not speaking

with the media. While the tailoring rule goes into effect today, the new regulations are being phased in by EPA. For Nippon, the regulations could go into effect in July if it has yet to receive an air emissions permit for its $71 million biomass energy project or at the end of 2011 when it renews its five-year general operating permit with the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency — or ORCAA, Perlwitz said.

Largest emitters The Port Angeles and Port Townsend mills are the largest emitters of greenhouse gases on the Peninsula and the only facilities in Clallam and Jefferson counties that exceed the 100,000-ton threshold, according to ORCAA and Ecology. Nippon in 2009 emitted 137,143 tons of carbon dioxide, according to ORCAA. The Port Townsend pulp mill emitted 151,661 tons of greenhouse gases in 2007, according to Ecology. Nippon will emit about 225,000 tons of carbon dioxide, a major source of green-

house gas, per year once its new biomass energy project goes online in 2012, Perlwitz said. It’s unknown how much emissions of greenhouse gases will change at the Port Townsend mill under its biomass energy project because Ecology did not require that to be reported in the project’s permit application.

Hinder industry? Tenny said the new regulations will hinder the growth of the biomass industry. His organization in December released a study that says the new regulations put biomass projects at risk of delays or being scratched completely through additional permit fees and having to comply with higher emission-control standards. “There’s only so much they can take,” Tenny said. As many as 134 projects will fall under the tailoring rule, Tenny said. He said he didn’t know how many may actually be delayed. Longview Fibre Paper and Packaging officials told

It is also one of seven groups that were defeated last month in an appeal of a permit Nippon received for its new boiler from the city of Port Angeles, and which say they plan to appeal the Nippon project to the state pollution control board in the spring.

The Center for Environmental Law and Policy of Spokane and the Cascade Chapter of the Sierra Club did not join the appeal of the Port Townsend mill’s facility.

But despite Tenny’s concerns, biomass projects may not have it so bad under the new regulations.

The Daily News in Longview last month that its biomass project may be delayed in order to ensure compliance with the new regulations. Tenny said the EPA should take note of the effects of the regulations on the biomass industry because delays with planned projects could make it harder for utilities to meet renewable-energy mandates.

07700688

Biomass facilities are affected by the new rules, although proponents among the forest industries say they should be excluded because they consider them to be “carbon-neutral.” David Tenny, National Alliance of Forest Owners president, said biomass burning, unlike the burning of fossil fuels, helps keep greenhouse gas emissions in check since it emits carbon that had been absorbed by trees. The burning of fossil fuels on the other hand, he said, resurrects greenhouse gas that would otherwise be kept underground. “If you consider just the nature of the carbon cycle . . . carbon that we’re using for energy was recently removed from the atmosphere,” Tenny said. Peninsula residents opposed to burning wood waste to produce energy say the EPA was right to place biomass facilities under the new regulations. Port Angeles resident Diana Somerville, a spokeswoman for environmental groups opposed to biomass projects on the Peninsula, and Gretchen Brewer of Port Townsend Air Watchers said burning of wood puts the carbon back into the atmosphere much faster than if it had been left to rot. “Basically, the carbon that’s emitted will be emitted over a short range of time into a localized place,” Brewer said. Slash from logging sites, a fuel source for biomass boilers, is sometimes disposed of by being burned on site in large piles. Biomass proponents say its better to burn it in a boiler than in the woods.

Brewer said she doesn’t think that slash burning happens often enough to make a difference, and added it would be better to chip all slash and spread it over a logging site to return nutrients to the soil. Tenny said it needs to be kept in mind that trees are not being cut down simply to burn. “Most of the time they are using materials that are byproducts anyway and you’re using them in a way that offsets the use of fossil fuels,” he said.

Mr. WikiLeaks, let’s get real AS A NATION, we’re divided in almost every respect. Our citizens never hesitate Jen to take sides against one Lancaster another, whether it’s Democrats versus Republicans, Coke drinkers opposed to Pepsi enthusiasts or Yankee loyalists against Red Sox aficionados. We all know exactly what we love, and woe is you if you’re on the other side. Seriously, how many holiday meals this year were ruined when a guest professed passion for Palin in a Pelosi household? Or vice versa? And that’s not to mention the carnage stemming from post-dinner remote-control wars waged between families consisting of both Bears and Packers fans. When it comes to matters of pro sports, politics or palate, disparate sides claim their party, team and cola to be superior. There’s no middle ground or compromise . . . unless maybe you’re all willing to settle for an iced tea. (And even that can spark an

ugly North/South debate.) However, I’ll bet we as a country can all agree on one thing: that Julian Assange should please stick a cork in his WikiLeaks already. I mean, there’s a reason our leaders have national security-type discussions over diplomatic cable and not via a public Facebook page, so knock it off already, pal. No one wants to friend or follow covert info about Pakistan’s nuclear policy. I imagine this Assange guy fancies himself a modern-day Robin Hood or Bond villain, but he’s coming off more like Dr. Evil. Instead of wreaking havoc on this nation’s leadership with bombs or lasers (or sharks with fricking lasers), he’s going to stop them in their tracks with words. (Side note? Assange just signed a book deal for one miiiiiiiillion dollars. Coincidence? One wonders.) I guess I don’t understand his end game because in every article, Mr. WikiLeaks claims that having access to secret documents will ultimately help the American people. Really? If you’re so fired up to help us, dude, why not tell us what we really want to know? Julian — we hear you’ve got your sights on the banking industry, and believe me, no one’s

Interviews

Peninsula Voices ‘Amazing’ place Each year, my twins and I look forward to Operation Candy Cane. As usual, we stick the city’s [Port Angeles] insert on the refrigerator as a reminder to get our donations ready for the fire truck. This year, the night was darker than usual, and the rain was coming down. We could hear the truck sirens in the distance, and the excitement level inside the house rose as the sirens got ever closer. Even at the ripe old age of almost 11, my twins couldn’t contain their enthusiasm. Finally, we decided that it was time to go outside to the front walk and ready ourselves. As we stood there under the glow of the street lamp, we could see our neighbors exiting their homes as well.

One by one, each door opened, and out came our neighbors: tiny ones, teenage ones, moms, dads and seniors. For three city blocks, I could see them all converging on the sidewalk. The rain persisted, increasing its assault on our clothing. Strangely, this rain felt warm. As the truck rounded the corner, there were shrieks from the littlest ones and a “hooray” from the older kids. The lights on the truck were twice as bright as the year before, and the smiles were just as big from the volunteers. I looked around my amazing neighborhood and felt my chest swell with affection. There were so many people. I made a mental note to myself:

The Port Townsend City Council will consider action on Community Block Grant projects when it meets Monday. The City Council will meet at 6:30 p.m. in chambers, 540 Water St. The council will hear public comment on projects for Habitat for Humanity infrastructure installation and Dove House before deliberating. The council also will hear reports from Tim Caldwell, chairman of the Jefferson County Residents for Transit, and from Port Townsend School District Superintendent Gene Laes. Both Transit and the public school district have tax measures on the Feb. 8 ballot. The school measure will ask voters to approve a fouryear replacement property tax levy that would produce $3.1 million the first year of collection in 2012 — or $1.23 for every $1,000 of assessed valuation, a total of $246 in taxes for a $200,000 home. Transit is requesting a 0.3 percent sales tax increase on the same ballot. City committee meetings at 250 Madison St. are: ■ Monday, 1 p.m. — Arts Commission, first-floor con-

TCU running back Ethan Grant (20) raises the Rose Bowl trophy after defeating Wisconsin on Saturday in Pasadena, Calif.

A win for the little guys By Greg Beacham

The Associated Press

PASADENA, Calif. — When Tank Carder leaped with perfect timing and swatted Wisconsin’s final pass to the turf, the TCU linebacker felt as if he got a boost from every player at every school that never even imagined playing in the Rose Bowl. Sure, these unbeaten Horned Frogs realized they couldn’t win the national title. They still celebrated their perfection on the hallowed Pasadena turf in the name of all the little guys outside the monolithic powers of major college football. Andy Dalton threw a touchdown pass and ran for a score, Carder batted down a 2-point conversion pass attempt with 2 minutes to play, and third-ranked TCU hung on to beat No. 4 Wisconsin 21-19 on Saturday. Bart Johnson caught an early TD pass and recovered a late onside kick for the Mountain West champion Horned Frogs (13-0), who followed up their second straight unbeaten regular season with their first BCS victory.

Right at home TCU is the first school from a non-automatic qualifying conference to play in the Rose Bowl since the advent of the BCS, and the Frogs were right at home. “All the critics don’t feel like the non-AQ teams should have a shot,” said Carder, the defensive MVP. “But I feel that TCU has proven that we can play with the best of them. Definitely taking this win back to Fort Worth. “I feel like we came in here and made a statement today.” Either Auburn or Oregon will win the national title after they meet in the BCS championship game in nine days. These ferocious Frogs proved they can play with anybody on college football’s biggest stages. “The way the system is, it didn’t give us the opportunity to play in the title game, but we did everything we were capable of doing,” said Dalton, who passed for 219 yards. “All we could do is control what we could control. I guess it’s just the way the system is, but in my time here at TCU, we never thought we would have a chance to play in the Rose Bowl, and we got that opportunity today, and got a big win.”

One loss in two years TCU lost last year’s Fiesta Bowl to Boise State by a touchdown, but that’s still the only loss of the past two seasons for the improbable power built deep in the heart of football-crazy Texas by coach Gary Patterson. The non-AQ schools improved to 5-2 in BCS bowls with the Frogs’ triumph — 4-1 vs. the leagues with automatic bids. Turn

Battle for the crown Seahawks can make playoffs with win today By Tim Booth

The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Congratulations, you are the best of the worst. Sounds like quite the prize, huh? That’ll be the honor bestowed upon either St. Louis or Seattle come tonight after the two meet to decide the NFC West division title, a primetime showcase of two teams fighting for one final playoff spot. It was the kind of finale the league hoped for when it introduced its flex scheduling program. Except this matchup has become the source of ridicule for critics, wrapping up a woeful season for the entire division that has renewed the debate over whether division champions should automatically receive playoff berths and home games. A win by the Rams (7-8) would send St. Louis to the postseason a year after winning just one game, and as the third 8-8 division champion in league history. A Seattle victory would bring about an even more dubious accomplishment: the first playoff team since the merger — sans the strike-shortened 1982 season — with a losing record, and the league’s first sub-.500 division champ. The Seahawks (6-9) may be playing for the title, and a footnote in NFL history, with backup quarterback Charlie Whitehurst

Add in the fact a potential 11or 12-win wild-card — most likely New Orleans — could be forced to play at St. Louis or Seattle in the first round of the playoffs and pundits have plenty of material to lob at the NFC Worst . . . er, West. It doesn’t matter, says Seattle safety Lawyer Milloy. The bottom line is “this is a playoff game right here.” In essence, that’s right. Just don’t expect them to send the game films to Canton. Turn

St. Louis quarterback Sam Bradford will try to lead the Rams over Seattle today to become the first No. 1 draft pick as a rookie to be the starting quarterback in the playoffs.

Ohio State tries to break SEC jinx Buckeyes take on Arkansas in Sugar Bowl The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — Even after Ohio State cornerback Chimdi Chekwa was told about the Buckeyes’ bowl futility against teams from the Southeastern Conference, he had a hard time believing it. “I think Ohio State has beaten the SEC in bowl games, if I’m not mistaken,” Chekwa said Friday, an incredulous look on his face. “It can’t be in all bowls. I’ll go on the computer and look that up, but there’s been a lot of bowl games and I feel like they won a couple of bowl games against SEC teams, or maybe they beat an SEC team in a regular game.” Well, the last part’s true. The Buckeyes have beaten

SEC teams during the regular season, most recently LSU in 1988. In bowl games, however, Ohio State is 0-9 against teams from the conference that has produced the past four national champions.

Title-game losses The streak includes losses to Florida and LSU in the BCS title games for the 2006 and 2007 seasons, and the longer it goes, the more the Buckeyes have to hear about it when they wind up meeting another SEC team in the postseason. This time it’s Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl on Tuesday night at 5:30 p.m. on ESPN. Ohio State will be trying to stop a trend of Big 10 teams losing bowl games as five of them went down Saturday. Northwestern lost 45-38 to Texas Tech in the TicketCity Bowl, Michigan State lost 49-7 to Alabama in the Capital One Bowl, Penn State lost 37-24 to

Florida in the Outback Bowl, Michigan lost 52-14 to Mississippi State in the Gator Bowl and Wisconsin lost 21-19 to TCU in the Rose Bowl. “I know personally I have lost three in a row against the SEC,” Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said. “I’m not tired of hearing about it. It’s a reminder to me of just how good the SEC is in football. We are playing another great one in Arkansas.” For their part, Arkansas players and coaches are trying not to make too much of the streak. None of them want to get caught talking about any kind of talent gap between the SEC and the Big Ten. That might be the motivation the Buckeyes need to avoid having to hear about being 0-10 the next time they meet an SEC team in a bowl game. “It’s nothing I take seriously because every team’s different every year,” Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett said.

“I don’t know what happened. I don’t know how to explain it.” Mallet only knows he doesn’t want this Arkansas team, the first from the school to go to a BCS bowl, to also be the first from the conference to lose to Ohio State in the postseason. “Definitely — I don’t want to help them end that streak,” said Mallett, a Michigan transfer who also acknowledged a bit of residual animosity toward the Wolverines’ archrivals. The first time Ohio State met an SEC team in the postseason was when Woody Hayes’ Buckeyes met Paul “Bear” Bryant’s Alabama Crimson Tide in the 1977 Sugar Bowl. Bama bashed the Buckeyes 35-6. Next in the streak came losses to Auburn in the 1989 Hall of Fame Bowl, and three Florida Citrus Bowl losses to Georgia in 1992, Alabama in 1994, and Tennessee in 1995. Turn

Florida whips Penn State The Associated Press

The Associated Press

TCU wide receivers coach Rusty Burns, foreground, celebrates with his team as the Horned Frogs beat Wisconsin at the Rose Bowl on Saturday.

players from dumping a Gatorade bucket on him before time ran out, lecturing them with a smile on his face. When the final seconds ticked off, the Frogs ran about the field in a frenzy, eventually collecting near the TCU band and the quarter of the Rose Bowl stands filled with purple-clad fans. And eventually the Frogs doused their coach, too. Dalton went 15-for-23 and rushed for a first-quarter score, winning the game’s offensive MVP award. But the defense deserved the credit for hanging on when TCU couldn’t score in the game’s final 26 minutes. TCU’s defense led the nation in several categories this season, but critics said the Frogs hadn’t faced the likes of Wisconsin’s fearsome offensive line. The Badgers were dominant at times, particularly in a frenetic first quarter that featured 24 combined points, but TCU hung on against Wisconsin’s attack with guts, third-down stops — and plenty of Carder. With a litany of big plays that included a de-cleating sack of Tolzien to kill a third-quarter drive, Carder was the leader all game — and the hero on Wisconsin’s final snap. “We came up with a great

tip, and it’s like your life passes before your eyes,” Patterson said. “You can’t even really say what you think about.” Tolzien went 12-of-21 for 159 yards for the Badgers, and John Clay rushed for a first-quarter score. Wisconsin outgained the Frogs 385-301 and held the ball for all but three plays in the second quarter, but twice settled for field goals by Philip Welch, who also missed a 39-yard field goal attempt before halftime. Most of the Frogs stayed on the field after the trophy presentation to soak in another minute of the biggest achievement for TCU football since the national championship season in 1938 — the only other unbeaten campaign for the school that produced Davey O’Brien, “Slingin’ Sammy” Baugh and LaDainian Tomlinson. While O’Brien won the Heisman Trophy in 1938, Dalton has his own unbeaten season — and his third bowl MVP award. “We weren’t just playing for TCU. We were playing for all the non-AQ schools out there,” Dalton said. “It’s something we’ve worked so hard for, and to see all the hard work pay off and play an outstanding game against a great opponent in Wisconsin.”

Zags hold off Oklahoma State The Associated Press

SPOKANE — Gonzaga’s 20-point victory over Oklahoma State on Friday may have looked relatively easy, but coach Mark Few will assure you it was not. The 73-52 win was the 300th of Few’s 12-year career, all at Gonzaga, and he sweats them all. “They are so hard to come by,” Few said. “Only coaches know how hard they really are, every one of them.” Few is 300-78 at Gonzaga, the second-best winning percentage among active coaches after Roy Williams of North Carolina. Forward Elias Harris scored a season-high 22 points, and center Robert Sacre added 16 points and 15 rebounds for Gonzaga (9-5), which has won five in a row since an early December slump knocked it from the Top 25. Gonzaga is 4-0 against Oklahoma State. It was one of the best games of the season for Harris, a sophomore who is considered a pro prospect. “It was great to see him back attacking, like last year,” Few said. Marshall Moses led Oklahoma State (11-2) with 17 points. The Cowboys saw their seven-game winning streak broken in what was only their second game on an opponent’s home court this season.

They had not played since a Dec. 21 win over Stanford. “Ten days is way too many to take off,” Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said. “We should have played a game like they did.” Gonzaga beat Lafayette on Wednesday. Jean-Paul Olukemi added 11 points for the Cowboys. Keiton Page, who came in averaging nearly 16 points per game, was held to two. Gonzaga’s inside tandem of Harris and Sacre dominated, giving the Bulldogs a 44-32 rebounding edge and a 32-22 lead in inside scoring. Sacre had his third double-double of the season and helped hold the Cowboys to 36.2 percent shooting. “That was the most physical team we’ve played,” Few said. “I’m proud of how we defended.” Ford said his team tried to rein in the Gonzaga big men. “It’s their inside game that makes them great,” Ford said. “We worked on limiting their touches close to the bucket, but their bigs do a great job of running the court.” Gonzaga’s leading scorer, Steven Gray, who has been slowed by a back injury the last three games, had 10 points and six assists in his best game since scoring 18 against Notre Dame.

The Associated Press

Oklahoma State’s Ray Penn (14) makes a pass in front of Gonzaga’s Kelly Olynyk (13) in the first half of an NCAA college basketball game on Friday in Spokane.

TAMPA, Fla. — Joe Paterno and Urban Meyer met at midfield for a postgame handshake and hug, the 84-year-old Penn State coach looking forward to next season, the 46-year-old Florida coach heading toward some time away from the game. Meyer closed out a highly successful six-year run that included a pair of national championships by leading the Gators back from a second-half deficit to beat JoePa’s Nittany Lions 37-24 in the Outback Bowl on Saturday. “I’m at full peace because I saw a bunch of smiles in that locker room,” said Meyer, who announced his resignation last month. “Locker rooms really aren’t very much fun when there’s a pain in your stomach and your chest and everything else. There was a lot of fun in there. A lot of fun.” Omarius Hines and Mike Gillislee ran for touchdowns, Chas Henry kicked three second-half field goals, and Ahmad Black sealed the win with an 80-yard interception return TD to help Florida (8-5) send Meyer out with a smile of his own. Meyer said he was stepping away from coaching because of health concerns and to spend more time with his family. As for Paterno, he — and his wife and Penn State officials — spent the week leading up to the game repeatedly shooting down rumors that the Outback Bowl could be his last. “He said, ’I love you kid,”’ Meyer said about his quick postgame meeting on the field with Paterno. “He’s the only one who calls me kid. And I love him too.” All week long, Meyer paid tribute to Paterno, the all-time bowl wins leader with 24. He continued to talk about admiration for the Hall of Famer during his postgame news conference. “He will go down as the greatest football coach in the history of the game. Every young coach, in my opinion, can take a lesson from him,” Meyer said. “If I ever start a coaching school, I’m going to make everybody do a book report on Joe Paterno, and say that’s the way you should act in coaching because

Outback Bowl that’s college football. “You just don’t want to lose that man or lose what college football is. That was college football out there today.” Paterno expects to be back for a 46th season with Penn State (7-6). At one point, he called the speculation about his future — including reports that he might be in poor health and had been hospitalized — “ridiculous.” He reiterated Friday that he has no plans to retire. Paterno hoped the Nittany Lions’ record 37th bowl trip under him would set a nice tone for next season. The six losses are the most Penn State’s had since going 4-7 in 2004, and the legendary coach is confident the team is headed in the right direction. “As I told them, keep their heads up. ... Go home and take it easy for a couple weeks, and then we’ll start thinking about all we’ll get done in spring football,” Paterno said. “We’re obviously way ahead of where we were at this stage a year ago.” Senior receiver Brett Brackett said none of the Nittany Lions brought up the subject of Paterno’s future after the game. “Nobody, but I’m sure it’s still on people’s minds,” Brackett said. “In my mind, there’s no doubt coach is the man. If coach coaches 20 more years, I won’t be surprised.” Meyer initially resigned in December 2009 only to change his mind the following day, returning for what turned out to be a disappointing year for a program he guided to national championships two of the past four seasons. He sent shockwaves through college football again on Dec. 8 when stepped down again. There have been indications that he could be headed for a broadcasting job. The Gators already have hired former Texas head coach-in-waiting Will Muschamp as Meyer’s replacement. He’ll inherit a talented team that on Saturday continued to make the type of mistakes that contributed to their worst record in six seasons under Meyer.

Sugar: Big 10 Continued from B1 Then there were back-toback Outback Bowl defeats to South Carolina in 2000 and 2001, followed by the two BCS title game losses. As the losses mounted, college football analysts began espousing the theory that team speed in the SEC, particularly on defense, is superior to that in the Big Ten. One person going out of his way to debunk that line of thinking this week is Arkansas offensive coordinator Garrick McGee, who spent four seasons in Big Ten country as an assistant coach at Northwestern. “The way you play fast is that you’re prepared and you understand what you’re going to do and how you want to attack, and you understand your opponent,” McGee said. “All of the talk about Ohio State not being fast, I don’t buy into that at all. There’s a game I coached where they had us 47-zip at halftime.” The most advantageous aspect of his experience against Ohio State, McGee added, is the credibility it gives him when he tells the Razorbacks to avoid overconfidence. “When there are people possibly trying to convince our kids that because Ohio State has lost to SEC teams in the past, that they’re not as fast or as talented, I can counter that,” McGee said. “That’s not true at all. This is going to be like the games we’ve played this season. It’s going to go down to the wire.”

Ohio State players say they don’t see the streak as any kind of weight on their backs. If anything, they’d like to meet SEC teams in bowls every year until they start beating them. “It’s kind of a motivational thing,” Buckeyes linebacker Ross Homan said. “We kind of look at it as: This is the present, the here and now. That was in the past. We can only control what we do in this game on Tuesday night.” Although they’ll be long gone, Ohio State players applauded recent announcements regarding agreements to play home-andhome series with Tennessee and Georgia. “You want to be on a big stage, you know? Why not play against the best in the nation?” Homan said. “It’s a great idea.” As for the task at hand, senior defensive end Cameron Heyward said finally beating an SEC team in the postseason could boost returning players’ confidence for next year, “and we get to shut that little streak up.” Heyward said he doubts the Buckeyes’ miserable past against the SEC will have any bearing on how they play Arkansas, but he understands the interest that Ohio State fans, and by extension, many Big Ten fans, have in seeing things change. “There’s a lot of great teams in the Big Ten and the SEC,” Heyward began, “but that’s what the bowl games are all about — show who the best conference is.”

UW women fall to UCLA The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Crazy as it sounds, in the final minutes of a close game UCLA coach Nikki Caldwell was so unhappy with the Bruins lack of movement on offense, she started requiring a certain number of passes before a shot was taken. That’s how much confidence Caldwell has in her eighth-ranked Bruins. “They started playing with a little more poise and a little more patience and I think that, to me, is a key to this team maturing,”

Caldwell said. Rebekah Gardner came off the bench to hit a trio of 3-pointers and lead UCLA with 15 points, and the Bruins rallied from an eightpoint deficit early in the second half to hold off upsetminded Washington 60-48 on Friday. The Bruins (11-1, 1-0 Pac-10) opened Pac-10 play with an ugly victory that came with very little contribution from leading scorer Darxia Morris, who finished with just four points and sat much of the second half.

are on the uptick, despite losing two of three entering the finale. “It’s been a roller coaster ride,” Jackson said. “You try to embrace what’s going on, you want to be happy but you don’t want to celebrate too much. “I kind of feel like I’m shell-shocked. But what we’re doing, what we’re coaching around here, I’m really happy about.” So if the Rams are believed to be ascending, then the Seahawks are impossible to decipher. Pete Carroll’s crew started 4-2 and followed by losing seven of nine, showing their vulnerability through key injuries that taxed the Seahawks lack of depth. Most troubling is Seattle’s inability to be competitive in all of its losses. With the exception of the third quarter on Dec. 5 against Carolina, there might not be a team playing worse over the last month of season than the Seahawks. And yet, they enter the final week with a chance at their first division title since 2007, after winning just nine combined games the

previous two seasons and undergoing a massive overhaul last January when Jim Mora was dismissed and Carroll was hired. “Some take it as pressure. I think it’s exciting,” Seattle linebacker Lofa Tatupu said. “That’s what you live for. We live to play in games like this. If not, like they say, you’re in the wrong business.” Carroll’s message this week was that Seattle’s slide for the last two months doesn’t matter, that it has no bearing on what takes place tonight. That might be easier to forget if the Seahawks weren’t so awful in recent weeks, dropping their last three by 19, 16 and 23 points. And now they’re potentially doing it with Whitehurst at quarterback, whose only other career start came in a 41-7 blowout loss to the Giants in November. “It’s what you’re going to do now with your opportunity, and here we have positioned ourselves, after all that it’s been,” Carroll said. “The story lines for this year are forgotten. It’s all about this game now.”

Huskies sweep Bruins, USC The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The Washington Huskies completed a weekend in Southern California like they haven’t enjoyed for quite a while. Matthew Bryan-Amaning scored 21 points and Washington used a 27-10 run over both halves to beat UCLA 74-63 Friday, giving the Huskies their first Pac10 sweep in Los Angeles since 2006. Washington (10-3, 2-0) won at Pauley Pavilion for the first time in four years, also the last time the Huskies beat both of the LA schools and only their third sweep ever. They edged Southern California 73-67 in overtime on Wednesday. Washington’s win was a big hit among its large contingent of fans who traveled from San Diego after the Huskies’ victory over Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl on Thursday. They woofed their approval in the waning minutes. “Our fans were unbelievable tonight and against SC,” Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said. “We’ve never had that kind of support in LA.”

Thomas sinks 17

Washington’s Isaiah Thomas, left, goes to the hoop as UCLA’s Malcolm Lee defends during the first half in Los Angeles on Friday.

Isaiah Thomas added 17 points and nine assists, and Bryan-Amaning had 10 rebounds. The win was especially sweet for seniors BryanAmaning, Justin Holiday and Venoy Overton, who had never won at Pauley. “I told the team the first person I’m going to call is Quincy Pondexter,” BryanAmaning said of the former Huskies star. “LA is going to be the hardest road trip for everyone in the conference.”

The Huskies swept a league road series to start the season for the first time since 1976, when they won at California and Stanford. “Especially with the football team winning, we knew we had to win it for them,” Thomas said. Reeves Nelson had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Tyler Honeycutt and Malcolm Lee added 12 points each for the Bruins (9-5, 1-1), who saw their sixgame winning streak snapped.

Starting guard Lazeric Jones will need to wear a splint after injuring the middle finger on his right hand. He was limited to 16 minutes. “They’re a really good team. They just executed better than us. They had the weapons,” said Nelson, who took an elbow to his mouth from Aziz N’Diaye that loosened a front tooth. UCLA shot 35 percent from the floor and made 21 more trips to the free-throw

line than the Huskies, but couldn’t convert consistently down the stretch. “That was a very frustrating, disappointing loss,” UCLA coach Ben Howland said. “They really hurt us in transition. It seemed when we did turn it over, they scored.” After Washington’s dominant run gave the Huskies a 17-point lead early in the second half, UCLA rallied to get within four points three times.

Home Fund helps homeless man EDITOR’S NOTE — For 22 years, Peninsula Daily News readers in Jefferson and Clallam counties have supported the Peninsula Home Fund. This is the final article in a series on how the fund operates and who benefits from our readers’ generosity. By Karen Griffiths

For Peninsula Daily News

PORT TOWNSEND — Imagine yourself alone, aging, unable to work because of poor health — and homeless with no support system. At night you would huddle up within a makeshift shelter to get through harrowing hours of freezing temperatures, often as rain or snow fell. Your campsite is foul-smelling and partially hidden, a place of birds and rodents. Other men and women — citizens of the greatest country in the world who never ever expected to be homeless or hungry — are in the woods with you, lining their tents with cardboard, blankets, carpet remnants and tarps. A small propane camping grill, or a rusty wood stove, is the only thing giving off any warmth and is used for cooking an offering from the food bank. A drain pipe that pours a steady stream of dirty, icy runoff from a nearby bridge is where you shower . . . occasionally. Two months ago, Raymond Lee Koehler was bone-cold, thin, alone and feeling desperate as he arrived at the OlyCAP office Port Townsend. He had been living under bridges and in the woods for most of the year. Temperatures at night often dropped into the lower 30s and 20s.

“See those woods over there?” he said, gesturing to a patch of woods under a milky gray sky. “If you go to the third fir tree and turn left that’s where I am.” OlyCAP is the nonprofit Olympic Community Action Programs, the No. 1 emergency care agency in Jefferson and Clallam counties. It also screens the applicants for the Peninsula Daily News’ “hand up, not a handout” Peninsula Home Fund and distributes the funds.

would pick him and the tent up and fly him across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Vancouver Island. In jest, she replied he’d be sent right back by the Canadians since he didn’t have a passport. “I owe Melissa and those folks a debt I can’t repay for getting me out of the cold and into a home,” says Ray. “They just bent over backward to help me.”

‘I’d be frozen to death’

Temporary home

At the Port Townsend OlyCAP office he was interviewed by caseworkers and received emergency services through the Home Fund. It put him into the OlyCAP system and was a crucial first step to getting him out of the brutal life he was living. “I’m so very grateful for the help,” says Ray, 59. “If it weren’t for the help I guarantee I’d be frozen to death in the woods.” OlyCAP workers gave him a donated tent and sleeping bag. He received Home Fund vouchers to stay at a campsite at Jefferson County Fairgrounds and get food, laundry services and small necessities. He says he was doing fine at the fairgrounds until the weekend of Nov. 19, when the weather turned nasty — up to 30 mph winds, freezing rain and then 6 inches of snow — and the tent collapsed on him during the night. In the morning’s frigid air, he trekked back to the OlyCAP office where caseworker Melissa Matheson said she an others were about to go check on him. She and her co-workers had just finished pooling together enough money to get Ray a motel room. Ray told Melissa the wind was blowing so hard he worried it

Since Port Townsend’s homeless shelter is only open during the winter, OlyCAP caseworker Genevieve Short used her connections to find a temporary home for Ray. Fortunately, the temporary housing has turned into a more stable residence while he awaits permanent housing through TBRA — the federally supported Tenant Based Rental Assistance program. He says his odyssey to homelessness began in 1997 when he divorced his wife. She got sole ownership of their restaurant. “It all spiraled down after that,” he said. Major heart surgery and other medical issues left him unable to work. By the time he was approved for Social Security disability income, the snowball of troubles and debt had grown huge. A year ago, he said, he left his Port Angeles apartment — where he had been for 16 years — after an argument with his landlord over past-due rent. Childless, with no family or close friends to stay with, he started living under bridges and in the lonely, freezing woods. Turn

Birds go nuts for lard-oatmeal recipe VETERAN READERS OF this column are familiar with my mention of the “lard-oatmeal mixture.” Many have a copy of the recipe, but the number of recent requests for it indicates a column on the subject is called for. There is an interesting story behind the mixture. It wasn’t something I came up with, and it wasn’t found in any article I ran across. The mixture that attracts a wide variety of birds was discovered by Ken Short, a gentleman who is no longer with us, who developed the recipe and designed several feeders to hold it. When creating what is a simple mixture, he had two goals in mind: Birds need fat to provide energy and body heat; they also need protein in their diet. The lard provides the fat, and the rolled oats the protein. Ken put the recipe to the test by trying it out on his customers — the birds at his feeders. He not only mixed up what he thought they would like, but he also rendered out some beef fat or suet for them, too. Using one of his specially designed feeders, he placed the lard-oatmeal mixture in half the holes and rendered suet in the remaining ones. Then, he watched to see which would be eaten first. This sideby-side study was conducted during extremely cold weather, when temperatures dropped toward freezing. The birds recognized the melted suet first because that is what Ken had been feeding them. They immediately went to those holes but soon started on

Bird Watch the lard-oatmeal. Carson The rendered suet had set rock-hard during the cold weather. The lard-oatmeal hadn’t. It was easier to eat, and once the birds started on it, they continued to favor it, even after the temperatures warmed up. The holes with the rendered suet just sat there. If Ken hadn’t refilled the empty lard-oatmeal holes, the suet would no doubt have been eaten, but it was easy to see which food the birds preferred. The recipe: Use a ratio of about 1 pound lard to 1 quart rolled oats. Nothing is exact in this recipe and as you use it, you will probably modify it. I run the oats through the food processor because they absorb the melted lard more easily, and you can use more oats. I double or triple the recipe because the birds eat it up in no time. I use an electric frying pan because it holds a tripled recipe. Melt the lard on low heat. Once it is liquid, add the oats. (I stop adding oats when I can press the mixture down with a spatula and there is a “skin” of liquid lard on its surface. If you add too many oats, it crumbles more easily and can be difficult to put in certain containers.) When finished making a batch, let it cool until firm and

A length of 4-by-4 with holes drilled in it makes a good feeder because the mixture can be firmly pushed into the holes. Hung from a tree limb or pole, the feeder’s action is almost nonstop. Birds seen on our lard-oatmeal feeders are: common bushtits; chickadees; nuthatches;

ruby-crowned and goldencrowned kinglets; Townsend’s warblers; orange-crowned warblers; downy, hairy and pileated woodpeckers; flickers; starlings; Steller’s jays; song sparrows; fox sparrows; and golden-crowned sparrows. Your birds will keep you busy in the kitchen if you introduce them to this mixture, but you will enjoy seeing more and more

species discover it. Right now, an empty container is sitting on my kitchen counter waiting for me to mix up another batch.

Two of them, however, I can barely tolerate. They show up at our house unannounced and stay for hours. Larry is too nice to say anything to them about these drop-in visits. They also make disparaging comments about their wives, complaining constantly about their “nagging” and their “faults.” One of them has repeatedly cheated on his wife.

Dear Still a Dad: Stop panicking and listen to the women. Your little girl may have been Daddy’s girl until last summer — but she’s a teenager now. It’s normal for teens to disengage from their parents and develop interests of their own, so relax and don’t push. Let Carly know you’re there for her and eventually, she’ll start coming around again. What you have described is not unusual for girls her age.

Questions and answers for growers HAPPY NEW YEAR! A very happy, green, growing, weed-free, flowerful, fruit-abundant, prolific produce new (gardening) year! And it started for me on a fabulous note when the humongous amaryllis showed its first flower stalk and the razor clams displayed, in clear view, their telltale (actually their death-knell) dimples, and my mother, for the first time ever, got to capture, slay and devour the filet mignon of the shellfish world. And for my readers, let us start off on a fabulous note as well. To accomplish this and to begin to make good on my promise (resolution) to get more useful information sown into this column, I will kick the New Year off by scrounging around and digging up some reader’s questions. I have tried to follow your plan to rehabilitate my 720-square-foot grass area. I got a soil test and applied over 200 pounds of dolomite lime, but when seed is applied, should it be cast by hand or a spreader? Thank you. Dick Dick, congratulations! Nothing makes more sense

A growing concern Andrew

and helps guarantee success May better than a soil sample. It is the wisest, easiest, least costly and most cost-effective task we all can undertake, and not to do so often translates into a great waste of time, money, energy and overall plant health. Needing to apply 200 pounds of lime for a small 720-squarefoot area also means you have now (thanks to the exact recommendation of your soil test) adjusted your acidic soil, which is an inherent condition here on the Peninsula to a level conducive to great grass growth. As to your exact question, when overseeding lawns, I prefer, in fact insist, on a rotary spreader, not a drop spreader, which delivers an even application to the entire area. I most often use the ergonomic hand-held “whirly bird” type of spreader. With bare ground, I hand-

broadcast over the soil, then with a metal-tined leaf rake, I rake over the seed and soil, then broadcast over the top again lightly. I find it mostly feeds the birds or insects but lets enough seed remain and germinate for great results. I’m installing a new community drain field about an acre in size and would like to cover it with something other than grass that needs cutting. I’m thinking I might be able to do something that promotes native flowers and grass and demotes lawn grass. Do you have any suggestions, or do you know of any resources where I can get some ideas? My wife and I enjoy reading your column Sundays. Thanks, Dave Hello, Dave. Do I have any suggestions? Absolutely — and ironically, they involve grasses and, despite that, give you and your wife what you crave. The answer should be wildflowers or native grassland, prairie grasses and wildflowers. The reason is that grasses are the primary plant in a native wildflower field.

They act as a cover crop and for a variety or reasons are critical to the long-term success of a native setting. And Dave, here the word is “native.” Way too many off-theshelf wildflower mixes are not from here. In fact, a majority of wildflower mixes contain harmful, invasive or noxious weeds. So start by going to your favorite plant vendors and do computer research to find a reputable source of both indigenous grass seed and Northwest wildflower seed. Many times, the quest will end up with several seed sources and your own blend. Make sure to get a variety of flowers that bloom at different times of year. Also make sure to overseed them for two or three years — not doing so is the No. 1 source of consumer failure. And Dave, the lawn grass will be choked out, overgrown or comingled in — but please realize a soil test and a maintenance cut once or twice a year will be required. My crocuses are up at least an inch or so. What will happen there? Should they just be covered with dirt or replanted deeper

(doesn’t seem right with this amount of growth)? Thank you for your help, and keep up the good work! Very much enjoy it. Sincerely, Yvette. Dear Yvette, Most bulbs break out too early because they are planted too shallowly. On the Peninsula, people plant them much too early — our mild weather dictates a very late October/November, even December, planting, or your bulbs will emerge early. Crocuses are resilient and very cold-tolerant, and species crocuses are only a few weeks away from flowering naturally. Yes, after the bloom, I would add an inch of great garden soil, but for now, I would be very worried about newly hatching slugs and hungry mice destroying in a food feast your crocus blooms. Take pet-safe approaches to ward off both.

4 kids, 1 man killed in Redmond blaze By Donna Gordon Blankinship

The Associated Press

REDMOND — A mother could only watch in agony as her four young children and a man were killed by an intense apartment fire that broke out a few hours into the new year, her neighbors in the apartment complex said Saturday. Neighbor Jared Wilson said the 30-year-old woman was able to escape the twobedroom ground-floor apartment and stood outside as heavy smoke and flames engulfed her home. All four children were 10 or younger, fire officials said.

‘Couldn’t speak’ “She couldn’t speak — she was just hysterically screaming,” said Wilson, 27, who lives on the building’s third floor. A 32-year-old man in the same apartment also died, said police spokesman Officer Matt Peringer. The woman was taken to a hospital where she was reported in stable condition, said Fire Battalion Chief Ed Carolan. The names of the victims and the relationship between the man and woman were not immediately available. No other injuries were reported, and the residents of all 12 apartments in the three-story wooden building were evacuated and found temporary housing.

By midday, police and fire officials were still trying to determine if the structure was stable enough to allow investigators inside to look for a possible cause, Peringer said. Chris Champoux and his wife were sleeping in their apartment in the building across a driveway from the units that burned. “The heat actually woke my wife up,” he said. “It was an inferno — very horrific.” Crews from six fire departments responded, and investigators from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Washington State Patrol and a Seattle Fire Department canine arson detection unit were at the scene, though there were no immediate signs it was intentionally set, Peringer said.

Reported at 2:30 a.m. Carolan said the fire was reported around 2:30 a.m. at the Sammamish Ridge Apartments and quickly burned the two units above it. All three were heavily damaged, and the apartments next to them have smoke damage, he said. Wilson said only about 30 seconds elapsed from the time he first heard shouting until his apartment was surrounded by heavy smoke and he was forced to flee. As he ran down the stairwell, he saw the woman, whose children he had often seen

Wilson said he and another resident grabbed a fire extinguisher and the two tried to enter the smoke-filled apartment. “At that point, the whole place just went up” and they were forced away by the flames.

Felons turned down for medical pot By Jonathan Martin

The Seattle Times (Via The Associated Press)

SEATTLE — Several times a week for the past two years, felons on supervision have asked the Department of Corrections for special permission to use medical marijuana. Some of the requests, which are signed by doctors, are vague, listing just “chronic pain” as the reason for the drug. But others describe agony — anorexia from AIDS or chronic vomiting from chemotherapy. As regular as rain, the state DOC — Department of Corrections — has turned down nearly all of them. Out of 320 requests, seven people have gotten permission — a select group that includes a forger wasting away from AIDS and a white-haired grandmother named Kathy Parkins with fibromyalgia. Squeezed by conflicting duties of policing felons while not meddling with their medical treatment, the agency has been swept into the complex and ongoing debate about the state’s 12-year-old, voter-approved medical marijuana law. The pressure on the DOC to permit felons to use medical marijuana is likely to intensify as the medical pot industry flourishes and polls show public opinion increasingly favoring legalization. New patients are being authorized by the day, and dozens of new marijuana dispensaries are eager to serve them. The state is even getting in on the action, announcing earlier this month an attempt to tax medical marijuana retail sales. Advocates for medical pot estimate at least 100,000 patients statewide are approved for its use and about 5,000 people make their living off medicinal pot.

‘Authorization mills’? The lifeblood of the industry are the doctors’ notes recommending medical pot for specific patients. Possession of marijuana is still illegal, but a note provides a valid defense if a patient is criminally charged. A small but frustrated group of advocates, attorneys, physicians and patients says DOC is ignoring the state medical marijuana law by substituting its judgment for that of doctors who recommend the drug. The policy, they say, is ripe for a legal challenge, although none has been filed. DOC takes a jaundiced view toward many of those notes recommending medical marijuana. A vast majority of recommendations for DOC offenders come from just three or four clinics that are potfriendly “authorization mills,” according to the agency. “Frankly, most mainstream clinicians tend to gravitate toward traditional and conventional treatments, rather than marijuana,” said Dr. Steve Hammond, DOC’s chief doctor.

Doug Hiatt, a Seattle attorney who represents medical marijuana patients, said DOC “is playing doctor, and they’re doing a bad job of it. They’re messing around with sick people’s medications. It’s sickening.” For a decade after passage of the 1998 initiative, medical marijuana was a side issue at DOC. The law prohibits medicinal pot in prisons. Those on post-prison supervision found corrections officers sometimes ignored positive drug tests if the offender had a doctor’s recommendation. In 2008, the law was changed to expand the type of medical professionals who can recommend marijuana, and to clarify how much pot a patient can possess. That prompted a boom in clinics that authorize medical marijuana — and in requests from DOC offenders to use it. That has put DOC field officers in a bind: Do they uphold no-drug provisions in criminal sentences and prioritize a duty to help offenders stay clean? Or do they show mercy to sick offenders with doctors’ recommendations and follow the medical marijuana law? There’s one more concern: The oft-sued agency fears it could be liable if an offender on supervision were to hurt someone while high on DOC-approved pot. Scott Blonien, a DOC assistant secretary, laid out the quandary in an e-mail to other DOC managers in 2008.

Advanced AIDS? What if an offender with advanced AIDS who had a doctor’s note for medical marijuana tested positive for pot in a drug test? “This person’s possession and use is not against state law. Should DOC still violate this offender for action that our state Legislature recognized was necessary, for ‘humanitarian reasons?’” according to the e-mail, which was obtained by the advocacy group Cannabis Defense Coalition. “Do we really want to die on this hill?” After internal debate, DOC took a firm law-andorder line. Since July 2008, 320 offenders have requested waivers, which are reviewed by Hammond but subject to appeal within DOC. Waivers are not needed for prescriptions for Marinol, a synthetic form of THC — the active ingredient in marijuana — approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat nausea and appetite loss. Hammond has approved just one request; six others were OK’d on appeal. Blonien said the policy is the right balance between compassion and accountability, especially because most of the requests for waivers come from offenders with drug histories. “It is a very difficult position the department is in,” he said. “The public expects us to help these folks return to the community, and to protect the public. “It is just incongruent for

Medical-marijuana user Kathy Parkins is under state Department of Corrections supervision because she was arrested for possessing pot in Arizona, which does not allow medical use of pot. She runs a business from her West Seattle house, supplying cannabis-laced baked goods to other legal users.

Medical marijuana rules The North Olympic Peninsula’s first medical marijuana outlet, Olympian Canna, is planning to open soon in Port Angeles. Police and city officials said they will allow it to operate as long the dispensary provides marijuana only to those who have been authorized to use it by a doctor. Medical marijuana rules: ■ Qualifying: A patient must suffer from a “terminal or debilitating medical condition,” such as cancer, HIV, multiple sclerosis, intractable pain or other illness defined by the state Medical Quality Assurance Commission. Depression and anxiety do not qualify.

■ Recommending: A clinician can recommend — but not prescribe — marijuana to a patient who has a qualifying condition. Six types of clinicians, including naturopaths and physician assistants, can make recommendations, which must be printed on tamperresistant paper. ■ Possession: Marijuana possession remains illegal, but a clinician’s recommendation provides an “affirmative defense” in court, meaning a patient can still be arrested but can use the recommendation form as a defense. Most prosecutors won’t charge patients with valid recommendations and a 60-day supply or less.

■ Supply: A qualifying patient can have a 60-day supply, defined as 24 ounces and 15 plants, but patients may exceed those limits with a proven medical need. ■ Dispensaries: State law prohibits dispensaries, but it allows patients to get marijuana from a “designated provider.” In the absence of clarity in the law, dispensaries have opened to act as providers. ■ Federal law: Marijuana is illegal under federal law, but the U.S. Justice Department has said it will not target users in compliance with state medical-marijuana laws. Sources: state Department of Health; ACLU of Washington

us to allow some to use marijuana when it led to the criminality in the first place.” Dr. Scott Havsy, a Tacoma physician, protested when DOC denied his patient’s use of marijuana to treat “intractable pain” from multiple herniated discs, a diagnosis included under the state law. “The Department of Corrections takes the statute and modifies it themselves,” said Havsy. “That is just wrong. They’re not following the law.” To get around the DOC, some offenders have quietly asked their sentencing judge to change the terms of supervision to allow medicinal marijuana. As the offenders’ requests have flowed in, Hammond and other DOC staff took note of a handful of doctors who signed one recommendation after another. Among the most prolific is Dr. Mohammad H. Said, a licensed physician in Ephrata. He said he has signed 20 notes for DOC patients, a small part of his estimated 8,000 authorizations since mid-2008. Said estimates that he has worked for 10 different clinics that specialize in

medical marijuana, Kathy Parkins must comply with just one special condition: Don’t drive while high. She’s fine with that. Parkins, a white-haired, 54-year-old grandmother, has been legally using marijuana for a decade to treat symptoms of fibromyalgia, which causes chronic joint and muscle pain. During a 2008 road trip in Arizona, a drug-sniffing dog at a Border Patrol checkpoint went nuts on her car. Officers found a quarterounce of pot, as well as cannabis-laced vinaigrette, peanut-butter cups, bubble bath, blackberry cookies, body lotion and vanilla cake.

Said, who was disciplined by the Department of Health in 2008 for overprescribing narcotics, said he doesn’t use pot himself. But he said it has proved benefits, including providing more “domestic tranquillity” than alcohol. “Ninety percent of my patients have been taking marijuana on their own for a long time. They just come in to me to make it legal,” said Said, who ran for U.S. Senate in 2010 and governor in 2008.

in a house she rented. Parkins was jailed for a week, and a DOC officer tried to get her sent back to Arizona based on an inaccurate assertion that she had no family ties in Washington. DOC backed off as friends and advocates pressed her case to the governor. She got a DOC waiver last year and hasn’t been drug-tested for marijuana since. To be safe, she now carries notes from three doctors. She runs a business from her West Seattle house, supplying cannabis-laced baked goods and oils to four dispensaries. Most medical marijuana patients are truly sick, so DOC would risk little with a more liberal dose of mercy, she said. “These are not the normal criminal,” said Parkins. “They’re mostly housebound.” But DOC is sticking with its policy, said Anmarie Aylward, DOC’s community corrections director. “Until we hear more from taxpayers, I think we’re on the right road,” she said.

Time marches on: Boomers turning 65 Many find retirement still only a dream By Dave Carpenter The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Through a combination of procrastination and bad timing, many baby boomers are facing a personal finance disaster just as they’re hoping to retire. Starting New Year’s Day, more than 10,000 baby boomers a day began turning 65, a pattern that will continue for the next 19 years. The boomers, who in their youth revolutionized everything from music to race relations, are set to redefine retirement. But a generation that made its mark in the tumultuous 1960s now faces a crisis as it hits its own mid-60s. “The situation is extremely serious because baby boomers have not saved very effectively for retirement and are still retiring too early,” says Olivia Mitchell, director of the Boettner Center for Pensions and Retirement Research at the University of Pennsylvania. There are several reasons to be concerned: n The traditional pension plan is disappearing. In 1980, some 39 percent of private-sector workers had a pen-

In keeping with a generation’s fascination with itself, the time has come to note the passing of another milestone: On New Year’s Day, the oldest members of the baby-boom generation turned 65, the age once linked to retirement, earlybird specials and gray Velcro shoes that go with everything. Although other generations, from the Greatest to the Millennial, may mutter that it’s time to get over yourselves, this birthday matters. According to the Pew Research Center, for the next 19 years, about 10,000 people “will cross that threshold” every day, and many, whether through exercise or Botox, have no intention of ceding to others what they consider rightfully theirs — youth.

The old year that fizzled; new year that rebounds? By David Leonhardt The New York Times

Washington — It was the year that the economy started to recover and then slid back into a slump — only to offer reason for renewed hope in the final weeks. When 2010 began, hiring and consumer spending were finally picking up. But then something changed in the spring — a combination of the debt troubles in Europe, the fading of stimulus spending and the usual caution by businesses and consumers after a financial crisis. By the summer, the unemployment rate was rising again, and Americans’ attitudes about the future were again souring. Making matters worse, many of the economy’s long-term problems also became more severe this year. Health care costs continued to rise faster than inflation, and the number of uninsured continued to grow.

The most recent climate data suggested 2010 would be the hottest or second-hottest year ever recorded; the 10 hottest have all occurred in the last 13 years, creating serious risks for the planet and its economy. The federal budget deficit ballooned further (though it should grow during an economic slump).

But good signs for 2011 The reasons for optimism about 2011 come from both Washington and the private sector. The Federal Reserve and Congress have finally taken more action to lift economic growth, and the latest data — on consumer spending and jobless claims, among other things — has been good. The housing market remains weak, but sales and prices are no longer plunging. On the longer-term issues, the recent work by President Obama’s bipartisan deficit commission suggested that Democrats and Repub-

licans might eventually find some common ground on the issue. And the health care overhaul passed in March — assuming it survives legal challenges — is likely to cut the number of uninsured sharply and to reduce cost growth modestly. The one issue that offers little reason for optimism is climate change. Among the big questions for 2011 are: n How severe will state and local budget crises turn out to be? n Will Europe’s debt troubles spread to Spain, Portugal or elsewhere? n Will Congress and the White House manage to focus on the long-run causes of the deficit — or instead cut federal spending immediately and jeopardize the recovery? n Will consumers continue to increase their spending and give businesses the confidence to hire?

New life given to lifeboat in PA yard Since the beginning of December, a shipboard lifeboat has been sitting on blocks in the Port Angeles Boatyard on Marine Drive. The international-orange-colored lifeboat had a malfunction in its two-cylinder diesel engine and had to be repaired. The engine was removed by Daniel Patrick and Wade Short of Schat Harding and taken to their Anacortes facility to assess the damage. It was determined that the engine had spun a bearing which required a complete teardown and rebuild. Daniel and Wade had the lifeboat in the water on Wednesday morning and spent a couple of hours puttering around Port Angeles Harbor, making certain that the mechanical systems were operating up to snuff. The life-saving craft will be returned to her davits on the 789-foot crude oil tanker, British Laurel, on Monday morning.

Holds 30 The lifeboat is built of fiberglass and is a touch over 21 feet in length. Bench seating around the inside perimeter allows for about 30 people, which is the stated load capacity. In the event personnel need to abandon ship, they climb aboard the lifeboat through one of two watertight hatches on either side of the boat. When the boat is loaded, the designated lifeboat operator lowers the craft into the water and releases her from the davit. Lifeboats on tankers must be fireproof and have a proven ability to survive a flaming oil or petroleum-product fire. Fire protection for these boats is provided by approved insulation and a sprinkler system comprised of piping installed atop the vessel through which water is pumped and sprayed to cool the surface of the lifeboat. Although this particular lifeboat is stowed in a boat davit from which it is released by an operator from within, some ships have freefall lifeboats. These are stowed at an acute downward angle in a sloping slipway, and when the holdback mechanism is released, the boat and her already terrified passengers fly through the air and drop into the water. Freefall lifeboats are necessarily heavier than the type that are suspended from davits because of the need to withstand the impact with the water.

On the hard Angelette, a 58-foot Delta that hails from Seward, Alaska, is sitting on blocks in the Commander Building at Platypus Marine’s plant on Marine Drive

On the waterfront in Port Angeles. Capt. CharSellars lie Crane, director of sales and marketing, said the fiberglass department, headed up by Verne Braghettia, is fabricating and installing a bulbous bow on the commercial fishing vessel.

Positive effect As we’ve said before, a bulbous bow is the torpedo-like protuberance at the bow of a ship that is just beneath the waterline. The presence of this bulb has a positive effect on how water flows around the hull of a ship and creates fuel savings in the range of 12 to 15 percent. Bulbous bows once were rarely seen on fishing vessels but are becoming more commonplace because of the everincreasing cost of fuel. Platypus developed a prototype of a bulbous bow about three years ago and since has installed nearly a dozen of them onto boats that fish in Alaskan waters. Capt. Charlie said Platypus personnel also will install a new anchor winch on the Angelette’s foredeck, replace a water storage tank and give the boat a new coat of paint.

This lifeboat with watertight doors is scheduled to go back aboard the oil tanker British Laurel on Monday after it was repaired in the Port Angeles Boatyard. The ship’s lifeboats can be seen attached to either side of the bridge in the photo below of the huge tanker escorted in San Francisco Bay.

Come and get it Eric Schneider, owner of Lee Shore Boats in Port Angeles, said the Bonner County Sheriff’s Office in Sandpoint, Idaho, will send a couple of deputies to his shop this week to pick up their new patrol boat. Eric said the 30-foot vessel, which is powered by twin 225-horsepower Honda outboards, will be used by the sheriff for lake patrol and search and rescue operations. Lee Shore is also working on a 26-foot pleasure boat for Bob and Cezanne Alexander of Beaver. Eric said Bob and Cezanne, who are well-regarded throughout the fly-fishing community, will use the boat as a platform from which they will hone their skills. Eric also said his company was recently awarded the contract to build a 22-foot work boat/tender for the RV Sikuliaq, a 260-foot research vessel that is under construction at Marinette Marine Corp. in Marinette, Wis. The vessel will be owned by

the National Science Foundation and operated by the University of Alaska-Fairbanks as part of the U.S. academic research fleet. The Sikuliaq will be operational in 2014 and based in Seward, Alaska, at the university’s Seward Marine Center.

Getting the right point Tesoro Petroleum on Monday bunkered Golden State, a 600foot petroleum products tanker. Prior to her departure from Port Angeles for San Francisco, she had to swing her compass.

Apparently there was new equipment installed on the bridge and the deviation between the magnetic compass and gyro had to be recalculated. In an age of global positioning systems and computer navigation, some may ask why a magnetic compass is still needed. The mechanical magnetic compass is a reliable backup every navigator needs to ensure that if the power fails, the computer crashes, batteries die, GPS fails, lightning strikes or streams of ions from a solar flare disrupt satellite communi-

cations, you will not be lost or stranded. The properly compensated magnetic compass is the most reliable source of heading information that, by most accounts, has been in use for over a thousand years. On Friday, Tesoro refueled Canpotexresurrection, a 580-foot, Panamanian-flagged cargo ship. On Saturday, Tesoro had it refueling barge alongside the 728-foot Foss Maritime cargo ship, Pioneer. And today, Tesoro will refuel the BP-owned British Laurel, which is in Port Angeles to pick up her lifeboat, and Overseas Long Beach, a 594-foot petroleum products carrier.

A sense of entitlement

Still, he says, the boomer generation, of which he is a member, clearly changed our world. Here’s a simple generalization of how: Previous generations were raised to speak only when spoken to and to endure in self-denying silence. Baby boomers were raised on the more nurturing, child-as-individual teachings of Dr. Benjamin Spock, and then placed under the spell of television, whose advertisers marketed their wares directly to children.

Idler of Emory University, indicates that the suicide rate for middle-age people, notably baby boomers without college degrees, rose from 1999 to 2005. Paul Taylor, executive

vice president of the Pew Center, summed up a recent survey of his generation this way: “We’re pretty glum.” This gloominess appears to be linked to the strug-

gling economy, the demands of middle age and a general sense of lofty goals not met by the generation that once sang of teaching the world to sing in perfect harmony and then buying it a Coke.

After the travails and absences of the Depression and World War II flattened the birthrate, the promise and prosperity of the postwar years created a sharp rise in births that lasted from 1946 until 1964, when the popularity of birth-control pills helped stem the tide.

Parents were cut out of the sale, except for the purchase of that coonskin cap or Barbie doll. “It created a sense of entitlement that had not existed before,” Gillon said. “We became more concerned with our own emotional well-being, whereas to older generations that was considered soft and fluffy.” The boomers may not have created rock ’n’ roll, but they capitalized on its potential to revolt against parents. And they may not have led the civil-rights movement, but they embraced it — at least, many did — and applied its principles to fighting for the rights of women and gay men and lesbians. They came to expect, even demand, freedom of choice; and options in life. About 13 percent of the population today is 65 or older; by 2030, when the last of the baby boomers turn 65, that rate will have grown to 18 percent.

Most boomers expect full Medicare aid By Ricardo Zaldivar The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — You paid your Medicare taxes all those years and want your money’s worth — full benefits after you retire. Nearly three out of five people say in a recent Associated PressGfK poll that they paid into the system so they deserve their full benefits — no cuts. But a newly updated financial analysis shows that what people paid into the system doesn’t come close to covering the full value of the medical care they can expect to receive as retirees. Consider an average-wage, two-earner couple together earning $89,000 a year. Upon retiring in 2011, they would have paid $114,000 in Medicare payroll taxes during their careers. But they can expect to receive medical services — from prescriptions to hospital care — worth $355,000, or about three times what they put in. The estimates by economists Eugene Steuerle and Stephanie Rennane of the Urban Institute think tank illustrate the huge disconnect between widely-held perceptions and the numbers behind Medicare’s shaky financing. Although Americans are worried about Medicare’s long-term solvency, few realize the size of the gap. “The fact that you put money

newly updated financial analysis shows that what people paid into the Medicare system doesn’t come close to covering the full value of the medical care they can expect to receive as retirees.

into the system doesn’t mean it’s there waiting for you to collect,” said Steuerle. By comparison, Social Security taxes and expected benefits come closer to balancing out. The same hypothetical couple retiring in 2011 will have paid $614,000 in Social Security taxes, and can expect to collect $555,000 in benefits. They will have paid about 10 percent more into the system than they’re likely to get back.

Complicated finances Updated periodically, the Urban Institute estimates are part of an effort that Steuerle and others began several years ago to try to illustrate the complicated finances of Medicare and Social Security in a format the average taxpayer could grasp. The Washington-based institute is a public policy center that focuses heavily on budget and economic issues. Its analysis is accepted among

The Associated Press

Realtor Lynn Barlow of Canton, Ga., believes she and her husband, who have paid into the Medicare program their whole working lives, are entitled to collect benefits. At the same time, she’s willing to make some sacrifices to preserve the level of services. other policy experts in Washington, including economists in government. Many workers may believe their Medicare payroll taxes are going for their own insurance after they retiree, but the money is actually used to pay the bills of seniors currently on the program. That mistaken impression complicates the job for policymakers trying to build political support in coming months for dealing with deficits that could drag the economy back down. Health care costs are a major and unpredictable part of the government’s budget problems, and Medicare is in the middle. Recent debt reduction proposals have called for big changes to Medicare, making the belt-tightening in President Barack Obama’s health care law seem modest. Some plans call for phasing out the program, replacing it with a fixed payment to help future retirees buy a private plan of their choice.

Why the problem Peel back the layers, and there are several reasons why Medicare benefits and taxes are so out of line. First, the rapid rise in health care costs. A single woman who retired in

1980, after earning average wages throughout her career, could expect to receive medical care worth about $74,800 over the rest of her lifetime. A comparable woman retiring in 2010 can expect services worth $181,000. Those numbers are in 2010 dollars, adjusted for inflation so they can be compared directly. Another reason is that payroll taxes cover most, but not all, of Medicare’s costs. They are earmarked for the giant trust fund that pays for inpatient care. Outpatient doctor visits and prescription drugs are paid for with a mix of premiums collected from beneficiaries and money from the government’s general fund. Seniors pay only one-fourth of the costs of those benefits through their premiums. The system has worked for 45 years, with occasional fine tuning. But the retirement of the baby boomers, the first of whom become eligible for Medicare in 2011, threatens to push it over the edge. Medicare covers 46 millions seniors and disabled people now. When the last of the boomers reaches age 65 in about 20 years, Medicare will be covering more than 80 million people.

Your Medicare money’s worth MEDICARE TAXES paid over a lifetime at work don’t cover the value of expected benefits after retirement. Figures for a couple together earning $89,000 and retiring in 2011 compare Medicare and Social Security.

Medicare n Taxes: $114,000 n Benefits: $355,000

Social Security n Taxes: $614,000 n Benefits: $555,000 Urban Institute At the same time, the ratio of workers paying taxes to support the program will have plunged from 3.5 for each person receiving benefits currently, to 2.3. “With Medicare, we are all still making out like bandits, shoving all those costs to future generations,” said Steuerle. “At another level, we know that this system is totally unsustainable.”

for Retirement Research at Boston College. Too many boomers have ignored or underestimated the worsening outlook for their finances, says Jean Setzfand, director of financial security for AARP, the group that represents Americans older than age 50. By far the greatest shortcoming has been a failure to save. The personal savings rate — the amount of disposable income unspent — averaged close to 10 percent in the 1970s and ’80s. By late 2007, the rate had sunk to negative 1 percent. The recession has helped improve the savings rate — it’s now back above 5 percent. Yet typical boomers are still woefully short on retirement savings. Even those in their 50s and 60s with a 401(k) for at least six years had an average balance of less than $150,000 at the end of 2009, according to the EBRI.

More problems Signs of coming trouble are visible on several other fronts, too: n Mortgage Debt. Nearly two in three people age 55 to 64 had a mortgage in 2007, with a median debt of $85,000. n Social Security.

Health Care Services • Skilled Nursing • Long Term Care • Post Operative Care • Palliative Care Services

Nearly 3 out of 4 people file to claim Social Security benefits as soon as they’re eligible at age 62. That locks them in at a much lower amount than they would get if they waited. The monthly checks are about 25 percent less if you retire at 62 instead of full retirement age, which is 66 for those born from 1943 to 1954. If you wait until 70, your check can be 75 to 80 percent more than at 62. So, a boomer who claimed a $1,200 monthly benefit in 2008 at age 62 could have received about $2,000 by holding off until 70. n Medical Costs. Health care expenses are soaring, and the availability of retiree benefits is declining. “People cannot fathom how much money will be needed to simply cover outof-pocket medical care costs,” says Mitchell of the University of Pennsylvania. A 55-year-old man with typical drug expenses needs to have about $187,000 just to cover future medical costs. That’s if he wants to be 90 percent certain to have enough money to supplement Medicare coverage in retirement, the EBRI said. Because of greater longevity, a 65-year-old woman would need even more to

But unemployment is near 10 percent, and many have lost their jobs. The average unemployment period for those 55 and older was 45 weeks in November. That’s 12 weeks longer than for younger job-seekers. It’s also more than double the 20-week period this group faced at the beginning of the recession in December 2007.

Other issues If financial neglect turns out to be many boomers’ undoing, challenging circumstances are stymieing others. Linda Reaves of Silver Spring, Md., never had much opportunity to save as a single mother raising two sons and a daughter. After holding a variety of positions over the years — hotel office manager, research analyst for a mortgage company, hospital mental health counselor — she was still living paycheck to paycheck. Then she was laid off in 2007 at the age of 57. She entered a training

program to learn new skills, but all she has found since is a string of temporary jobs. In her daily quest for clerical or administrative work, she competes against much younger applicants. Reaves, who turns 60 this month, plans to work until she’s at least 70 and then wants to travel, even if she doesn’t know where the money will come from. “I just keep going. I don’t really worry about it,” she says. Add this all up, and there’s a “slow-burning” retirement crisis for boomers, says Anthony Webb, a research economist at the Center for Retirement Research. “If you have a crisis where the adverse consequences are immediately clear, then people understand that they have to do something,” Webb says. “When the consequences will be felt 20 or 30 years in the future, the temptation is that we kick the can down the road.” As a result, he believes many won’t change their behavior. For less affluent boomers, it won’t take that long to feel the pain of poor planning. Concerns about financial trouble will hang over many of those 65th birthday celebrations in 2011. Many seem to view their plight through rose-colored granny glasses. An AARP survey last month of boomers turning 65 next year found that they worry no more about money than they did at age 60 — before the recession or the collapse of home prices. But in an acknowledgement of reality, 40 percent said they plan to work “until I drop.”

$3-plus gas prices stir worries about recovery Peninsula Daily News news services

NEW YORK — For the first time in two years, the average gas price is higher than $3 a gallon, sucking money from drivers’ wallets and, experts worry, possibly hampering the economy’s rebound. The national average price for a gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline was $3.07 on Friday, according to AAA’s Fuel Gauge Report, the highest since October 2008. On the North Olympic Peninsula, current prices average $3.19 a gallon, up from $3.11 a month ago and $2.82 a year ago. The national average is 42 cents higher than a year ago, and prices aren’t likely to improve significantly anytime soon. Experts offered differing predictions as to how high gas could go, with at least one saying prices could hit $5 a gallon by the end of 2012. “Outrageous,” said Joe Tate, putting gas in his Buick at a Shell station in Charlotte, N.C. “It makes my head hurt.” The self-employed auto mechanic put only one gallon of regular gasoline in the car at a cost of $3.06.

$5 a gallon? Some experts think we’re in for higher-than-ever prices over the coming years.

He heads Citizens for Affordable Energy, a group that advocates for increased domestic energy production from all sources. Over the next year, prices likely won’t go too much higher than $3 a gallon, said James Williams, an analyst at Arkansas-based WTRG Economics. “The Saudis don’t really see it in their best interest for oil to hit $100 a barrel,” Williams said. “That would probably add another 25 cents a gallon to it. “That could easily push us into another recession.” The last time oil prices

Electric cars get off to microscopic start But 50,000 on Chevy, Nissan waiting lists The Associated Press

DETROIT — This was the year General Motors Co. and Nissan made good on their promise to bring mass-produced electric cars to the market. But don’t count on seeing one in traffic soon. Sales so far have been microscopic, and they’re likely to stay that way for some time because of limited supplies. GM sold between 250 and 350 Chevy Volts this month. Nissan’s sales totaled fewer than 10 Leaf sedans in the past two weeks. Production for both is slowly ramping up. It will be well into 2012 before both the Volt and Leaf are available nationwide. And if you’re interested in buying one, you’ll need to get behind the 50,000 people already on waiting lists. It’s still unclear just how large the market for electric cars will be once those early adopters are supplied. The base sticker price is $40,280 for the Volt and $32,780 for the Leaf, much higher than most similarsized, gas-powered cars. If those prices rise, it could make them even more

NEW YORK — The days of free checking accounts in America are waning. New laws that reduce overdraft fees and the rates that banks charge merchants are cutting deep into bank revenues, prompting many to add charges or extra conditions on their checking accounts. The portion of checking accounts offered by banks for “free” with no monthly service charge or minimum balance, fell from 76 percent last year to 65 percent this year, according to a new national study of big banks by Bankrate.com. That means customers will have to shop more carefully — and figure out what their financial needs and habits really are — to get checking-related services for free or at low cost, consumer advocates say.

ank of America now charges $8.95 per month for its basic checking accounts. But it waives that fee when account holders meet one of three conditions.

FCC plans new rules to curb cell phone bills Peninsula Daily News news services

WASHINGTON — It’s been dubbed cellphone “bill shock,” and it’s clear why: A woman returning from Haiti after the earthquake disaster was greeted with nearly $35,000 in text-messaging charges. An Orange County, Calif., man was socked with a $3,300 bill after checking e-mail on his smartphone during a cruise celebrating his wife’s recovery from breast cancer. Even Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak experienced it last year, unwittingly ringing up $7,000 in roaming fees on his iPhone during a three-hour drive through Germany’s countryside. “What are you talking about?!” Wozniak said when he learned of the charges from AT&T. Those anecdotes are extreme, but the Federal Communications Commission says one in every six cellphone users has endured “bill shock” of some magnitude. And the bill often is a whopper when it happens — $100 or more for twothirds of those who complained to the FCC in the first half of this year, and upward of $1,000 for 20 percent of that group.

The federal agency is poised to step in with new rules to help customers avoid unexpected bills after exceeding usage limits. Cellphone companies are crying foul, saying that they already offer customers tools to monitor their voice minutes and texts and that regulators shouldn’t dictate how they provide service.

Blame the customer “I do think consumers have a certain amount of personal responsibility to understand what service and what offerings they’ve signed up for,” said John Walls, a vice president at CTIA-The Wireless Association, a trade group. “Just like you and I need to know what kind of gas to put in your car, and if there are any questions you look at the manual, all those tools are available now” for cellphone users. He also said he doubts “bill shock” is as widespread as the FCC says. The proposed rules, which could be approved early next year, would require wireless carriers to send customers a voice or text alert when they are about to exceed their voice, data or text limits. A similar warning would come when a user is about to incur hefty international

roaming charges. That’s what happened to Wozniak during a trip to Germany last year for a “Segway Polo” tournament. The Apple legend was hit with $7,000 in roaming charges, even though he had signed up for a generous international usage plan. AT&T quickly reversed the charge, admitting a mistake. “I think they would’ve dealt nicely with anyone,” Wozniak said. But others have had to haggle for months to try to have charges reversed, and they’re not always successful. Kerfye Pierre returned home from Haiti in February after visiting her sister and helping with the relief effort. A T-Mobile representative had told her the carrier was extending courtesy cellphone usage to customers in the disaster-stricken country. But the offer didn’t extend to texts and data, which Pierre used to communicate with family at home because cell service was poor. The tab? $34,782. The FCC stepped in to help Pierre, and T-Mobile forgave most of the charges. Yet, as of last week, the carrier still said she owes $4,435.

This house purchased by Bristol Palin in Arizona sold for $172,000.

Palin daughter’s move mystifies and pleases Peninsula Daily News news services

MARICOPA, Ariz. — The reasons behind Bristol Palin’s apparent move to this quiet, tree-lined community south of Phoenix remain unclear, but her new neighbors say they are ready to roll out the welcome mat. The 20-year-old daughter of Sarah Palin and thirdplace finisher on “Dancing with the Stars” quietly bought a five-bedroom, 3,900-square-foot home in the Cobblestones Farms neighborhood of Maricopa for $172,000 on Dec. 10. News of the purchase, which only surfaced in the last week, triggered media speculation over why the Alaska native would relocate to the lower 48 — including reports she planned to study journalism at Arizona State University in Phoenix. A Palin family spokesman did not respond to a request for comment on Bristol’s plans for the home, built in 2005 and featuring a three-car garage and landscaped backyard. Arizona State, meanwhile, dismissed the college reports. “Actually its a rumor. She’s neither enrolled nor has she applied to ASU at this time,” said Sharon Keeler, director of media relations at the university. Maricopa Vice Mayor Edward Farrell said he showed Bristol’s father, Todd Palin, around town in April but could shed little light on the reasons for the home purchase. “He never indicated anything. I got the feeling that maybe they were looking around for possibly a second home, maybe a winter

Bristol Palin 20-year-old buys house home, something to get out of the winter months in Alaska, just like the snowbirds do in the Midwest,” he said. “But never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that he was looking for somewhere for his daughter,” Farrell said. “When I saw that Bristol had bought, I started rehashing the visit and tour and thought, he never gave any signs of that.”

Mom to stay in Alaska? While Bristol has bought into the area, some Alaskans think it’s unlikely to herald a move to the Grand Canyon state by her mother, Sarah, who ran along side Arizona Republican John McCain in his failed tilt at the presidency in 2008. “She’s got a nice little spot right on Lake Lucille [in Wasilla, Alaska) — why would she sell it?” said Ivan Moore, an Anchorage, Alaska-based pollster and political consultant. Moore said the elder Palin, who is being watched as a possible GOP presidential candidate in 2012, has

money enough to keep her Alaska home and buy another in the Lower 48 should she choose. Originally a farming community about 40 minutes south of Phoenix, Maricopa was incorporated in 2003 during the housing boom. Its sprawling, planned subdivisions offered cheaper prices than the Phoenix valley, but were hit hard by the foreclosure crisis. The city noted about 45,000 residents last year, up from just over 1,000 in 2000. Bristol’s future neighbors in Cobblestone Farms, which features a small park with a little lake and date palms to frame the desert setting, were largely positive. Local drug store pharmacist Ronny Kassees and his wife Monika live five doors up the street from Palin’s new home in their own, slightly smaller house. The couple bought five years ago near the top of the market, and said they were “way underwater” with the mortgage, in a street that has seen a wave of foreclosures and several homes stand empty. “Their buying a house is a nice surprise, and we’re kind of hoping it may turn around the economy of Maricopa and the surrounding areas,” Kassees said. “I was a little shocked at first, but if she’s going to bring the property value up, that’s probably my best bet. “If it will stimulate the economy in Maricopa, then I am all for it,” he said. “If she wants, she can buy my house too. If she made me a fair offer, I might consider it.”

he was gunned down in 1881. Gov. Bill Richardson cited ambiguity surrounding the pledge of a pardon 130 years ago as the reason. “I felt I could not rewrite history,” Richardson told The Associated Press, hours after announcing his decision on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on his last day in office. The prospect of a pardon for the notorious frontier figure drew international attention to New Mexico, centering on whether New Mexico territorial governor Lew Wallace promised Billy the Kid a pardon in return for testifying about killings he witnessed. Richardson concluded Wallace did make a deal, “but it’s uncertain why he did not keep his promise,” said the former U.N. ambassador and Democratic presidential candidate. He said he could not pardon Billy the Kid given that ambiguity and the fact he killed two deputies when he escaped in April 1881 from the Lincoln County jail,

The proposed pardon covered only the killing of Brady, and not the deaths of the deputies or any other killings. According to legend, Billy the Kid killed 21 people, although the New Mexico Tourism Department puts the total closer to nine. He was shot to death by Sheriff Pat Garrett in July 1881. Albuquerque attorney Randi McGinn, who petitioned for a pardon after studying the issue, said she won the battle in proving there was a promise but lost the war over the pardon. She said, however, she didn’t regret “one iota being Billy the Kid’s lawyer.”

issues were more pressing. “There’s an awful lot of work to be taken care of for us to be wasting so much time on such a consideration,” the Republican said Tuesday.

where he was awaiting hanging for the 1878 killing of Sheriff William Brady. A pardon document was even drafted, “but in the end, I didn’t use it,” said Richardson, adding that he didn’t decide until Thursday night.

Billy the Kid Aka William Bonney Garrett’s grandson, J.P. Garrett, of Albuquerque, sent an e-mail to The Associated Press: “Yea!!! No pardon! Looks like it will be a great new year!!!!” Wallace’s great-grandson, William Wallace, of Westport, Conn., said Richardson “followed the correct, rational track in forgoing a pardon for a convicted murderer.” Both men had expressed outrage Richardson would even consider a pardon, arguing there was no proof one was ever offered. The historical record is unclear, Richardson said. His staff told him in August there are no written documents “pertaining in any way” to a pardon in the papers of the territorial governor, who served from 1878 to 1881. Richardson’s successor, Gov. Susana Martinez, who takes office Saturday, has said she won’t even consider a pardon because state

Richardson’s office set up a website in mid-December for public comments following McGinn’s petition. The survey that ended Sunday brought in 809 e-mails and letters from all over the world — 430 favoring a pardon and 379 opposed. McGinn argued Lew Wallace promised to pardon the Kid, also known as William Bonney. She said the Kid kept his end of the bargain, but the territorial governor did not. McGinn said Friday she was disappointed by Richardson’s decision but thrilled the pardon question sparked interest. She said she hoped people would come to New Mexico, see letters Billy the Kid wrote to Wallace, walk Lincoln’s single street and decide for themselves whether Billy the Kid was “the Robin Hood of the West or a notorious killer.” Richardson, who said he’s read countless books and seen numerous movies about the Kid, said the issue gave the state great exposure and prompted discussion over “one of those historical issues that deserves debate and hadn’t been tackled before.”

Airfare price increases likely to stay Other lines quickly match American’s $20 roundtrip rise Peninsula Daily News news services

NEW YORK — Wrapping up a year that featured a decent rebound in business and leisure travel, some large airlines are looking to squeeze a bit more money out of their clientele in 2011, this time by raising fares rather than fees. American Airlines just slapped an extra $20 on roundtrip flights after bumping them up by $10 last month, to be quickly matched by United Continental, Delta Air Lines and US Airways, according to FareCompare.com, a site that tracks price moves. So far, Frontier, JetBlue and Southwest Airlines have yet to follow suit. Rising fuel costs are driving some of the hikes, but relatively brisk demand and diminished capacity are also giving carriers leverage that they have not had since before the start of the global economic slowdown. Also, this is unlikely to be the last round. “Oil prices have gone up from $80 a barrel to nearly $100,” said Michael Boyd of Boyd Group International, an industry consultancy. “Next year, traffic may be flat at best and the demand is probably going to get a little weaker — so revenue per passenger has to go up.”

“Airlines have been especially successful in constraining capacity and increasing fares to create more sustainable financial stability.”

Christa Manning Amex Business Travel

In addition, “There is no new capacity online to speak of, and they can even pull it down more if the economy gets any worse,” Boyd said. “The other good news is that the industry is in a relatively strong position to handle a modesty downturn.” Graeme Wallace, chief technology officer at FareCompare, noted that “January-February is usually the lowest part of the year for domestic travel, and normally at this point in time, airlines are trying to roll out some sales.” But, he added, “If oil prices continue to rise, then we are probably [going to see] fares track them higher.” These latest increases follow a stretch that has seen both domestic and international tariffs on a steady upward trajectory, according to recent data from American Express Business Travel. The average domestic airfare paid in the third quarter was up 6

percent from the same quarter of 2009 and the average international one spiked 8 percent. While both are still below where they stood in the third quarters of 2007 and 2008, Amex said that is an indication that price increases have kept a steady pace as travel levels start to grow again.

Third quarter shift The third quarter brought “a distinct shift from a buyers’ market to a suppliers’ market, leading to higher prices across several travel categories including airfare,” said Christa Manning, director of expert insights research at Amex Business Travel. “Airlines have been especially successful in constraining capacity — and increasing fares to create more sustainable financial stability.” That comes on word this month from the Air Transport Association of America, an industry trade group, that passenger revenue jumped 14.5 percent in November alone, making it the 11th straight month of year-over-year growth. Miles flown by paying passengers were up 6.5 percent, while the average price to fly one mile rose 7.5 percent. “These revenue results give us confidence [for] the winter holiday season,” said James May, the group’s president and chief executive, in the announcement. “The relative strength of demand for traveling and shipping in international markets is especially encouraging.”

Expedia stops selling American Airlines tickets Expedia Inc. has stopped selling tickets on American Airlines flights, the latest twist in a simmering pricing dispute between American and travel websites. “Expedia has chosen to no longer offer American Airlines fares on its website,” American said in an statement posted on its website. “Customers looking to compare flights or fares online should visit other travel sites such as Kayak.com or Priceline.com for the most accurate and up-to-date information.” The Fort Worth, Texas-based airline has said that it would like to sell more tickets through its own website, as paying to have its flights listed on sites such as Expedia can be costly. Airlines have to pay a commission every time people search a particular flight, look up a fare or book a trip. American, which is owned by AMR Corp., also claims it can offer more personalized packages such as hotel and flight deals to fliers who purchase tickets directly from the airline. Expedia’s removal of American flights marks an escalation in a months-long dispute between the airline and various travel sites. Last month, American Airlines pulled its flights from travel website Orbitz, saying consumers could just as easily buy tickets from American’s website and “we won’t have to pay as much for it.” Last week, Expedia made American flights more difficult to find on its website, an apparent response to the airline’s decision to drop Orbitz. Expedia warned that it “cannot support efforts that we believe are fundamentally bad for travelers.” Experts have cautioned that while American might save money in commission fees, its sales will drop if its flights don’t appear on travel sites such as Orbitz and Expedia. About a third of Americans book their tickets on independent travel sites. Analysts have added that only smaller airlines such as Southwest Airlines Co. can get away with selling tickets exclusively on their own websites, as these airlines already have a reputation for offering cheap fares. Bellevue-based Expedia did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Saturday. Peninsula Daily News news services

Amazon’s own reader tops its best-selling list Peninsula Daily News news services

SEATTLE — Amazon. com said that its Kindle is the best-selling item in company history. In a news release about holiday sales, the Seattlebased online giant said the Kindle, now in its third generation, has surpassed sales of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and supposedly final book in the Harry Potter series. But you’ve got to take Amazon’s word for it — the company isn’t telling investors or anyone else how many Kindles have been sold. In a statement, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos suggested the Kindle is holding its own against Apple’s iPad and other tablet computing devices with color screens. “We’re seeing that many of the people who are buying Kindles also own an LCD tablet,” Bezos said. “Customers report using their LCD tablets for games, movies and web browsing and their Kindles for reading sessions.” Amazon provided lots of factoids in its holiday shopping recap: n The company’s sales volume peaked on Nov. 29, when customers ordered more than 13.7 million items in all product categories, a record 158 items per second. On the same day, the company’s fulfillment network shipped 9 million items. n Products were shipped to 178 countries, and more than 350,000 items were shipped overseas to U.S. military personnel.

Bad gifts be gone, Amazon patent says Peninsula Daily News

SEATTLE — Undoubtedly, the Thread and Bobbin Sewing Kit that Aunt Mildred sent from Amazon.com for Christmas will never see a stitch. The Stallion Stable Music Box might have looked pretty on the computer screen, but under the tree’s flickering lights, it is frightful. The polka-dot nightgown has never been a good idea, even with free shipping. These gifts sent via some warehouse many miles away are not only unwanted, but also a multimillion-dollar headache: They have to be repacked, labeled, dropped off and shipped back to Amazon’s Island of Misfit Toys. Then a new present has to be packed, labeled and shipped again. Efficient, the process is not. Amazon is working on a solution that could revolutionize digital gift buying. The online retailer has quietly patented a way for people to return gifts before they receive them — or turn them into gift cards — and the patent documents even mention poor Aunt Mildred. Amazon’s innovation, which was not ready for this Christmas season, includes an option to “Convert all gifts from Aunt Mildred,” the patent says. “For example, the user may specify such a rule because the user believes that this potential sender has different tastes than the user.” In other words, the consumer could keep an online list of lousy gift-givers whose choices would be vetted before anything ships.

Avoid sexual-enhancement drinks, FDA tells consumers news servics

building products that contain anabolic steroids or “steroid analogs,” which can cause liver injury and increase risks for heart attack, stroke and death; and sexual-enhancement products such as Rock Hard Extreme and Passion Coffee.

‘A drug product’ Sharfstein said the products are labeled poorly, so consumers do not know what they are buying. Dietary supplements, according to the FDA, are intended only as “an addition to a standard diet.” “If you have a drug product in it, it’s not a supplement,” said Judy Blatman, spokeswoman for the Council for Responsible Nutrition, an industry trade organization. “We’re extremely sup-

portive of the FDA’s actions to warn consumers about products that are masquerading as supplements. ... they’re illegal.” In an e-mail, FDA spokeswoman Siobhan DeLancey said the agency had found nearly 300 such “tainted products” among dietary supplements. She did not specify how many of those were sexualenhancement products. DeLancey also said the FDA had received reports of fatalities in people using illegal sexual-enhancement products. The FDA advised consumers to stop using Rock Hard Extreme and Passion Coffee immediately, and to throw them away. The agency encouraged people who had experienced side effects from either drink to notify their doctor.

WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration last week advised consumers not to buy or use two drinks sold as supplements for sexual enhancement. The products, Rock Hard Extreme and Passion Coffee, are sold on websites and possibly in retail outlets, the agency said. Laboratory analysis indicated both contain sulfoaildenafil, an active pharmaceutical ingredient similar to sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra. Sulfoaildenafil could interact with prescription medications that include nitrates, the FDA warned, lowering blood pressure to “dangerous levels.” Nitrate-containing drugs often are prescribed for men

with diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease. The warning arrives two weeks after the FDA warned dietary-supplement makers that it would crack down on illegal supplements. “We want consumers to be aware that there are products masquerading as dietary supplements that pose significant dangers,” said FDA Principal Deputy Commissioner Joshua Sharfstein. Sharfstein said the FDA was concerned primarily with three types of supplements. One class is weight-loss products with active ingredients such as sibutramine, found in the drug Meridia, which was withdrawn from the market recently because of increased risk of heart attack and stroke. The other two are body-

$ Briefly . . . Continued from C8 The economic snapshot was mandated by the state Legislature in 1996, in an effort to achieve a snapshot of Washington’s businessfriendly climate. Of the 33 updated benchmarks and economic indicators, the state improved in 14 cases, declined in 16 and did not change in three. Washington remains strong in several categories. The state had the nation’s cheapest electricity costs for businesses in 2009, thanks to the state’s hydroelectric dams. Based on a percentage of personal income, Washington ranked second in foreign exports in 2009, boosted by Boeing’s commercial airplane business. And Washington was ranked No. 4 in the nation for dollars per capita spent on industry research and development in 2007, the latest year available in that category. Washington industries spent $1,962 per person on R&D in 2007, trailing only Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Jersey. Washington ranked 25th, though, in university research and development spending per capita in 2007. Only seven states had higher unemployment insurance costs in 2008 than Washington. Another glaring shortfall is Washington’s student to teacher ratio in elementary and secondary public schools. Washington was ranked 46th, with an average of 19.1 students per teacher

The Last Word in Astrology BY EUGENIA LAST

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Jump into the new year feet first. Throw all your cards on the table. A move or trip will pay off and lead to an interesting new beginning. Don’t let the red tape you face discourage you from moving forward. 5 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Stop laboring over responsibilities that don’t belong to you. Take care of your own well-being. A personal or business partnership will help eliminate your stress and teach you how to care, share and work as a team player. 3 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If picking up additional information will help you expand, now is the time to sign up for whatever course or apprenticeship might be required. Don’t rely on a partnership for the wrong reason. Make sure all can live up to the promises made. 3 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Make changes that will brighten your world. Take your future into your own hands. Look at the possibilities and do your research carefully. Don’t give up one thing until you have something to put in its place. 3 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Invest in your future. Don’t waste time traveling when you can take care of most matters via email or phone. You may be faced with added responsibility or low vitality but don’t let that stand in your way. 5 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You’ve been through plenty of ups and downs and are an old pro when it comes to sizing up a situation and making it work to your advantage. Your intuition regarding your personal life is accurate, so don’t hesitate to take action. 3 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make whatever adjustments are needed to set up shop and make extra cash. Altering your surroundings by making it more user friendly and techno savvy will be a saving grace. In time, your insight will be recognized by someone who didn’t share your vision. 2 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Don’t hold back when you know you are right. Standing up for your principles will make people listen. Love is in the stars and revealing your intentions for the upcoming year will enhance the relationship you care about most. 3 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t try to fix what doesn’t need fixing. Leave well enough alone and focus more on how you can improve your skills, your health and your well-being. Problems at home due to minor mishaps can be avoided. 4 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Gravitate toward people you find inspiring. Working alongside someone will give you a better sense of your own talent, skills, knowledge and experience. Produce and present without hesitation. 3 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Whether you already have a job or you are looking, it is time to make an upward move financially by putting your skills to work for you. A service you have to offer will be in demand and, if you present and promote it properly, you will be victorious. 4 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Emotions will hinder your ability to get things done. Don’t let anyone back you into a corner or play mind games with you. An offer you make to someone you fancy can help to enhance your lifestyle financially and personally. 2 stars

Housing Authority of the County of Clallam Request for Proposals Project-Based Section 8 Vouchers The Housing Authority of the County of Clallam (HACC) is soliciting proposals from housing providers who are interested in receiving Section 8 Project-Based Voucher (PBV) subsidy for their existing rental housing units. The area of operation for the Authority is the contiguous area of Clallam and Jefferson Counties. Section 8 PBV is a program established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and administered by HACC, which provides rental assistance to landlords on behalf of low-income people. HACC will enter into a contract with the successful landlord of this request for proposals to guarantee rental assistance, which will be paid to the landlord on behalf of qualified tenants for the term of the contract. Rental assistance will remain with the unit for the term of the contract. The term of the contract shall be for a period of up to 15 years with an exclusive right by HACC to extend for additional five-year periods. Rental assistance payments, as provided by HACC will be established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development based on market rate comparable units. Respondents may propose all or a portion of units in a development for PBV assistance. However, in a multi-family building (five or more units) no more than 25 percent of the units may receive PBV assistance unless the PBV units proposed are specifically made available for: 1. Elderly Households (head of household or spouse 62 or older); or 2. Disabled Households (head or spouse disabled); or 3. Households receiving supportive services. To qualify, a household must have at least one member receiving at least one qualifying supportive service (See Exhibit 4). This selection process will generally favor projects which meet one of the above categories with the lowest incomes. Priority will be given to projects which provide services appropriate to the needs of the individual or family as part of the design. At least five (5) of the vouchers shall be project-based in Jefferson County, subject to eligible proposals. MAXIMUM SECTION 8 VOUCHERS AVAILABLE FOR THIS PROJECT IS TWENTY (20) Complete details regarding this Request for Proposals, including application and program requirements, rating process and federal program requirements are contained in the HACCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Project-Based Section 8 Voucher Selection Policy which may be obtained at www.hacchousing.org/Opportunitiespage.html Only applications submitted in response to this notice will be considered.

Death tough subject to explain to kids WE JUST FOUND out that our children’s greatgrandmother has been diagnosed with cancer and only has six to 12 months to live. What is the best way to explain the situation to our 8-year-old twins?

Missouri parent My stepchildren’s favorite aunt recently found out she was dying of cancer. This is an individual whom they adore and visit on a weekly basis. She loves them as if they are her own children, and everyone is shocked at this devastating news. She has requested that they come over to see her a couple of times a week, at least until she gets too

Parent to Parent Jodie Lynn weak to keep her positive attitude intact. She also has asked the family not to tell them about the situation. We feel that the only right thing to do is to follow through with her wishes and allow her to handle the explanation of her position within her own time and place. Thus, we have not shared anything with the kids, ages, 7 to 9.

May we help? Peninsula Woman, which appears Sundays in the Peninsula Daily News, welcomes items about coming North Olympic Peninsula events of women’s interest. Sending information is easy: ■ E-mail it to news@ peninsuladailynews.com in time to arrive 10 days before Friday publication. ■ Fax it to 360-417-3521 no later than 10 days before publication. ■ Mail it to Peninsula Woman, P.O.

Features Editor Diane Urbani de la Paz, who is editor of Peninsula Woman, can be reached at 360-417-3550 weekdays or at diane.urbani@ peninsuladailynews.com.

If not, within a reasonable amount of time, be straightforward and ask her how she would like the twins to know about the situation. Some individuals don’t want anything to change, especially with kids. Of course, out of respect and love, we all want to honor a dying relative’s final wishes as closely as possible, but since you are dealing with children, as From Jodie the parent, you also need Once their great-grand- to decide what makes the most sense emotionally for mother has fully accepted the outcome of her progno- them. In the meantime, if you ses and is comfortable talking about it, maybe she will feel comfortable talking about the death of a family determine how and when pet, or similar situation of she would like to handle a friend’s or relative’s pet the details of it to your that has previously died, 8-year-old twins.

Since she has been a huge part of their life ever since their births, we feel she will do what she feels is best and have decided to give her the privacy and space that she needs with our children. It’s a huge undertaking, but we are confident she will handle things in the best way for them and for herself. — P. W. in Ladue, Mo.

perhaps this might prepare them a tad easier for the explanation of their greatgrandmother. There’s also a wide array of wonderful books and even movies in helping to explain death. It’s not an easy process to share with children, but hopefully the outcome might not be quite so devastating if they are better prepared ahead of time. For now, allow them to see her as much as she would like and enjoy what time there is left.

Can you help? My mother-in-law insists on getting a report on our 4-year-old’s pre-kindergarten’s academic and classroom behavior by call-

“I hope that I’m still alive for all of 2011. We need to see our fellow citizens get back to work and come together for a better living for all. I think it’s terrible some of the cuts our governor has suggested. We need the support for the elderly, children’s education and good affordable health care. And because I can’t keep driving forever, I’m also planning a move to Quilcene to be nearer [to] my son.”

THIS WEEK BRINGS another “Generations” question, asked of three local woman of varying ages. We inquired this time about women’s hopes for the new year, with an eye toward what their responses tell us about the differences — and similarities — among North Olympic Peninsula women’s points of view.

This week’s question: What is your fondest hope for 2011?

“To see the economy turn around and the job market come back. I wish there wasn’t going to be the cuts in the school system that I hear about in our state. I’m a teacher and want to continue, of course. Also, I wish people would understand the real meaning of Christmas and not having to have multiple presents under the tree. And not feeling guilty about not being able to buy a lot of those presents. They need to make more memories with their family.” Ann Dutcher, 52 substitute teacher Forks

Now that they’re grown and working — the elder as a commercial fisherman year-round out of Neah Bay, the younger in Edmonds at a furniture company — Parker continues to promote the health and wealth of her community.

That was the beginning of Parker’s self-directed photographic training. She’s been capturing Neah

Bay’s singular beauty since. She created the 2011 calendar as a gift to her community, and a portion of proceeds benefits two of her favorite organizations: the Makah Cultural and Research Center, which opened its museum doors in 1979, and the Neah Bay Chamber of Commerce, now into its fifth year.

With this shape, the sign shows how “we’re all in the same canoe,” she notes. Parker is also president of the Makah Cultural and Research Center board and vice president of the Potlatch Fund (www.Potlatch Fund.org), which promotes philanthropy in Northwest Indian country. She serves on several other boards including that of the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and the Peninsula’s PEAK leadership program; she organizes annual blood drives in Neah Bay and sits on the Makah tribal elections board, where one of her goals is a voting age of 18 instead of the current 21.

Makah Forestry Alongside her volunteer work, Parker devoted 35 years to the Makah Forestry Enterprise; she retired as CEO in 2007 after 35 years. Today, she is the owner and operator of Ozett Associates, a cultural

and natural resources consulting firm. One of her clients, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, has hired her to produce a video about the past 100 years of Native American forestry. Hearing a list of her activities, and then learning that she has an extended family of more than 200, many of which come to Neah Bay for the holidays, can make a visitor dizzy. But Parker is not a woman with an energy shortage. She found her place to recharge a long time ago.

That line blurs because it ties together the rush of an argument and the rush of passion, increasing the chance that Andy is going to see disagreements as having an erotic aspect, which is not good for the long-term health of your relationship.

As to the second part of your question, remember the old expression, “it takes two to tango.” I suspect that you were a willing partner in this arguing followed by lovemaking ritual. You can break the cycle by choosing not to participate. Sure, he’ll be grumpy about it at first but lead him in a new direction. You’ll see that men are always willing to follow when intimacy is the final destination. You just need to put him — and yourself — on a different path.

Sister-in-law bummer Dear John: My wife’s sister just went through a divorce. In the hope of cheering her up, my wife invites her over to our house every Sunday for

dinner and to do other things with us, such as going shopping at the mall. I understand that her sister is pretty dispirited about the breakup, but she’s also unpleasant to be around. I get this feeling that she resents our happy marriage particularly because her marriage ended badly. I don’t want to upset my wife, but it’s becoming really difficult for me to be around her sister this much. How can I tell my wife without upsetting her? — Sister-in-Law Burnout in St. Louis

Nevertheless, for the sake of your relationship, your wife needs to know your feelings. Eventually, they will bubble up to the surface anyway. And when your feelings do come to the surface, having been suppressed for too long, they may come out in the form of anger and frustration. So before that happens, sit down with your wife and tell her in a loving way how you feel. You may be surprised to hear that she has many of the same feelings.

Dear Burnout: Not every conversation we need to have with our life partner is an easy one. And this discussion is indeed going to be a difficult one.

Simply Music is a revolutionary Australian-developed piano and keyboard program that has beginning students — children, teens, adults and seniors — playing great-sounding pop, blues, classical, and accompaniment pieces immediately — from their very first lessons! This unique approach produces unprecedented results, and is not only becoming the new standard in entry-level music education, but is redefining music learning. Simply Music employs an entirely new and unique “learn-by-doing” approach that can be easily understood by students of all ages, and focuses on the sheer fun of playing — and producing immediate results. Traditional piano lessons require students to learn how to read music as a means of learning how to play. This “read first, play later” approach is slow and frustrating, and far too many students never acquire the ability to play. Many lose their desire to learn altogether. In reality, expecting students to read music before they have learned to play is like expecting toddlers to read before they have learned to talk! After building a repertoire of 30 to 50 pieces covering a broad range of musical styles, students go on to learn how to read music, their ability to play so well providing a powerful foundation for learning the more formal aspects of music education. Unlike traditional learning, this breakthrough program is tactile, experiential, and multi-sensory, with students being physically, visually, and aurally fully absorbed.

Facebook reconnects good, bad and ill FACEBOOK — THE BEST invention since the Clapper or the devil’s favorite device? Today, we hear both sides of the argument.

Susan I’d been searching for my best friend for nearly 20 years, ever since a misunderstanding led to an estrangement. Even though I found a city listed for him on the Internet — the last city I had an address for him — I figured it was old news because he was in the Marine Corps, and he couldn’t possibly still be stationed in the same town for so long. A few days after I joined Facebook in 2009, I typed

He’d been looking for me, too, all these years, but with my very common maiden name and him not knowing my married name, it was futile. The first time I ever

used a webcam was to see him — “live and in person” — and it made me cry. I’d missed him so much over the years. We have the kind of friendship where we can finish each other’s sentences. It turns out we lived within miles of each other in 2003-2004 and never knew it because he only had a cell phone, and they’re not listed in the phone book. He was never a romantic interest (I was dating his best friend), but I always thought he was cute. He was the love of my life in a different way. I got to stop and see him last summer while on a family vacation. My kids got to see their “Uncle

venerable Makah Days festival takes place in August, and the relatively new Hobuck Hoedown surfing celebration comes in October. That event was a smashing success last year, with surf kayakers, standup paddlers and long-board surfers converging on the waves here. “In Neah Bay, things are hopping,” Parker says. “You can’t be bored. People are active and hanging together.”

Janine Bowechop, director of the Makah Cultural and Research Center, added that Parker is known for questioning the set way of doing things. As president of the center’s board of trustees, “she always asks the hard questions, and expects detailed information in a way that makes the organization stronger,” Bowechop said. “She’ll challenge you in a way that helps you improve what you do, though not in an intimidating way.” Parker “keeps me on my toes. I like that there is that careful attention . . . she really sets high standards for herself and for the tribe.” Parker, added Bowechop, is a member who shows her commitment to be both a witness and a representative for the Makah people.

And she doesn’t miss an opportunity to invite people across the Peninsula to Neah Bay’s 2011 festivals. In April, the Makah tribe will host its third annual Eagle Festival, with an art fair, guest presenters and other events revolving around the iconic bird.

A new ferry — at last. For a while, it seemed as though the new state ferry, MV Chetzemoka, would never begin service between Port Townsend and Whidbey Island. The $79.4 million addition to the state fleet was supposed to start the run to the renamed landing of Coupeville (Keystone) in August, but delays in sea trials held up its inaugural for more than two months. When Gov. Chris Gregoire on Nov. 14 finally christened the 64-car ferry named after Port Townsend’s favorite Klallam chief, talk and rumors about the first new state ferry in more than a decade were rampant. To quell the talk, Washington State Ferries immediately issued a fact sheet to “set the record straight” about the Chetzemoka, its final cost and such features as its 1 percent list when unloaded. (The list is deliberate “to maximize” the number of trucks/oversize vehicles the vessel can carry). But what the agency cannot Gov. Chris Gregoire officially quell is the fear that the Chetzemoka’s companion ferry, months — the MV Salish now under conjust under struction, will be diverted to San 118 years.

Late relief for county government. Jefferson County commissioners Dec. 13 approved a budget of $52,752,238, made up of $15,636,049 for the general fund and the remaining $37,116,189 in other funds. Getting to that point was a

The agreement is expected to provide electricity at a lower cost than what is offered to customers by PSE.

The tax measure on the Nov. 2 ballot was politically charged, especially when the county’s Republican chair, Ron Gregory, filed a complaint with the state’s political watchdog agency that County Administrator Philip Morley advocated passage too much when he spoke in the community about the measure.

Chief among the work was the $7.1 million Upper Sims Way project that added widening, landscaping, sidewalks — and two controversial roundabouts, or traffic circles, at Sims’ intersections with Howard and Thomas streets. Businesses in the area groused about the lost customers during the monthslong construction project, but they say they are getting used to the new traffic lifestyle and landscaping. In the historic district, Port Townsend is working on a facelift involving new pavement on Madison Street, sidewalks on Water Street and refurbishing of the old police station next to Pope Marine Park. The new year will bring added work downtown. This month, Water Street will be closed as construction centers at the intersection of Water and Madison streets.

Moratorium at Mystery Bay. Jefferson County commissioners approved a second moratorium on any new boat mooring buoys in Mystery Bay for the second half of 2010 in an effort to manage protection of the shellfish-rich bay at Marrowstone Island. The moratorium is part of an agreement with the state Department of Ecology, Department of Natural Resources and Department of Health to protect and maintain commercial shellfish growing along Mystery Bay’s shores on Marrowstone Island. That’s the reason behind a plan to reduce the number of boats mooring in the area. The collaborative agreement among government agencies, tribes, shellfish growers and local residents was reached in late March. Nature provided a moratorium of its own in July and August when the state Department of Health closed Mystery Bay and other shorelines in East Jefferson County to recreational shellfish harvesting after test

results showed high levels of biotoxins. In addition to Mystery Bay, affected were shorelines of Admiralty Inlet, Kilisut Harbor, Discovery Bay, Mats Mats Bay, Port Ludlow, Fort Flagler, Fort Townsend, Chimacum Beach and Port Hadlock.

Prosecutorial change. For the first time in 12 years, Juelie Dalzell isn’t Jefferson County prosecuting attorney — a decision not to seek re-election she reached last spring. Her chief deputy, Scott Rosekrans, steps in as the county’s top prosecutor following a contentious political campaign against Port Townsend Dalzell activist attorney Paul Richmond in the fall. The 2011 Prosecuting Attorney’s Office Rosekrans inherits

will be leaner, the victim of budget cuts that will keep him from filling the job of chief deputy prosecutor that Rosekrans once held. Rosekrans Crimes will be prosecuted, he said, but in these critical budget times “the criminals have an edge.” Dalzell, meanwhile, hasn’t ruled out running for public office in the future. But in the meantime, she has committed to volunteer “wherever Scott needs me” — specifically for the intermittent coroner duties the job requires.

“I’m almost 70, for God’s sake.” In an unexpected, after-midnight appearance on the House floor in Olympia on April 13, Lynn Kessler — an Olympic Peninsula legislator for 18 years — announced candidly

Deadly encounter in Olympic National Park. Bob Boardman, well-known on the North Olympic Peninsula as a musician, boat-builder and registered nurse, was also an experienced hiker in the Olympics. On Oct. 16, Boardman and two others, including his wife, hiked the Switchback Trail on Klahhane Ridge in Olympic National Park when they spied a

group of mountain goats — familiar, longhair highmountain animals more closely related to antelopes than goats. One of those goats fixed its attention on Boardman, 63. The hiker lured the goat away by walking from the group, diverting its attention. The beast, fixated on Boardman, suddenly gored him. Olympic National Park

A team of rangers found the goat and shot it to death; a subsequent necropsy found it not Boardman to be diseased, so the reason for the only animal-caused death in the 72-year history of Olympic National Park will remain a mystery. “[Boardman] spent his last minutes putting himself between the goat and everyone else,” said a friend, Margaret Bangs, a Port Angeles private-practice physician. “Boardman’s last act on this Earth was to protect others, even though he knew he was in grave danger.”

Work begins to remove the Elwha River dams. After more than 30 years of discussion, sometimes heated, and funding for the removal of the two Elwha dams, preliminary work begin last fall that will lead toward dam dismantling in earnest this year. That initial work consisted of an 18-foot drawdown of Lake Mills behind Glines Canyon Dam to allow for construction of a diversion channel. Back in April, the wraps came off two water treatment plants for the city of Port Angeles and Lower Elwha Klallam tribe that will keep taps clear when tons of sediment runs down the river as the Glines Canyon and Elwha dams are dismantled. And symbolic of the $351 million federal project — a Montana construction

company won the $26.9 million contract to dismantle the dams — blue and gold souvenir buttons proclaiming “Last Dam Summer” began appearing throughout the North Olympic Peninsula. Since then, a logo for the Elwha River restoration project designed by Port Angeles graphic artist Laurel Black is showing up on merchandise and in store windows. The motto: “Natural Wonders Never Cease.”

Burkett, who doesn’t hesitate to say he wants to get a lot done quickly, indeed did so in 2010. That helped him win a glowing early November review from Sequim City Council, which continued his $120,000-a-year contract. Turn

along the coast from Oregon to Alaska took a right turn up the mouth of the Quillayute River on a sunny July 7 day — for reasons still not revealed. The MH-60T Jayhawk crashed after it snagged the Coast Guard’s wires that powered warning lights strung across the mouth of the river to James Island. Three of the four crewmen were killed: Lt.

excise tax revenues — by manipulating and destroying paper and computer records, according to Betts her accusers. The sheer amount of the six-figure loss — insurance is recovering all but about $20,000 of the funds — and how it could have gone undetected for so long was the principal issue in the November election during which Treasurer Judith Scott sought re-election. A challenger with no treasury experience, attorney and county planner Selinda Barkhuis, defeated Scott and takes office this month. The whereabouts of the money is still a mystery, state prosecutors say. There are more than 60,000 documents connected with Betts’ trial that prosecutors and defense lawyers are poring over before trial can start.

The Top 10 of 2010 in Washington Washington state’s worsening budget woes were voted The Associated Press’ top story of 2010 by the state’s newspaper editors, including those with the Peninsula Daily News. Here are the top state stories:

State budget cuts get deeper. As 2010 began, Gov. Chris Gregoire and the Democrat-controlled Legislature were facing down a $2.6 billion hole in the two-year budget that runs through mid-2011. By the time lawmakers went home in April, the gap had grown to $2.8 billion, a hole Democrats hoped to fill with about

$755 million in spending cuts and a raft of tax increases aimed at businesses Gregoire and consumers of all kinds. By the end of the year, the problem had grown still worse after voters rejected the Legislature’s tax increases on candy, gum and soda pop along with the separate proposal to impose an income tax on the state’s highest earners. Even after a special session of the Legislature cut about $590 million more

earlier this month, the state is still short $1.1 billion through June. Meanwhile, a $4.6 billion hole looms for the next two-year budget.

Take that, Mr. Gates: The initiative campaign to impose an income tax targeting the state’s richest citizens was supported by prominent advocates of tax reform, including Bill Gates Sr. Supporters said Initiative 1098 would have raised about $2 billion per year for education and health programs.

90 YEARS

December 14, 2010 marked the 90th anniversary of making paper in Port Angeles at what is now the Nippon Paper Industries USA mill. For 90 years, our mill has been a part of the community and we have grown and prospered together. As a large employer in Port Angeles, we purchase most of our goods and services locally, and we take our role in Port Angeles and Clallam County very seriously. NPI USA is committed to responsible stewardship of the environment and seeks to maintain a balance among our economic, environmental and social responsibilities. Our environmental policy reflects our dedication to continual improvement of the mill’s environmental performance in all aspects of our business. For decades we have made our product from recycled newspapers, old telephone books, residual chips from local sawmills, and on occasion wood chips from pulp logs (lower quality logs that the sawmills don’t want to run). We have supplied paper for millions of newspapers (including this one) and telephone books to virtually all corners of the world. We have had thousands of employees walk through our doors, each with their own stories to tell. Some area families have had three or four different generations support their families by working here or being a supplier to our mill. Ground was broken and construction of the original mill started in February of 1920, with the guidance and backing of Isidore and Harold Zellerbach. “The Washington Pulp and Paper Company” produced its very first saleable product at this site on December 14th of that same year. Over the years, The Washington Pulp and Paper Company became known as the Crown Zellerbach, which lasted for several decades until Crown became part of the James River Corporation in the 1980s. James River, in turn, sold the mill to Daishowa in 1988. Daishowa and Nippon Paper Industries of Japan merged in 2003.

And so our story continues, with more chapters yet to be written, we feel privileged and honored to have shared our 90th anniverary with all of you.

0C5106924

Last year, we celebrated 90 years of continuous paper-making here. We remain proud of what we do, and of our association with the city and citizens of Port Angeles and Clallam County. It is with the same pride that we recently announced the next chapter of our story ... our project to construct a new biomass boiler and a 20 megawatt co-generation facility. This new facility, when completed and on-line in 2011, will add much needed permanent and construction jobs to our region, improve the financial viability of the mill, reduce air emissions, replace older equipment, and generate 20 megawatts of green electricity using underutilized renewable resources. This project represents a capital investment in the mill (and the community) of $71 million.

A short-lived tax. Part of the Legislature’s attempt to balance the budget, the taxes on candy, soda and bottled water, last spring, died in the November election. More than 60 percent of voters opposed the taxes after a group representing big soft-drink companies poured millions into the campaign.

Deadly explosion in Anacortes. An explosion and fire killed seven people at the Tesoro refinery in Anacortes last April. The tragedy later drew a record $2.39 million fine from state regulators, who found it could have been prevented if the company had tested its equipment properly and followed other safety regulations. The company also faces a criminal investigation by the U.S. Environment Protection Agency.

Joblessness in Washington. The state’s stubbornly high unemployment rate continues into 2011.

The state jobless rate stood at 9.2 percent in November, lower than the national rate, but scarcely changed from the 9.3 percent unemployment rate last January.

Soldiers from Fort Lewis on trial. U.S. soldiers based at LewisMcChord Base south of Tacoma are accused of killing Afghan civilians for sport. Military courts-martial for the Fort Lewis-based soldiers are expected to continue into 2011. In all, a dozen 5th Stryker brigade soldiers were accused of crimes in Afghanistan. Five are charged with murder and conspiracy in the deaths of three Afghan civilians.

The Top 10 of 2010 in the nation, world The massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill, triggered by a deadly blast at a rig used by BP, was the top news story of 2010, followed by the divisive health care overhaul, according to The Associated Press’ annual poll of U.S. editors and news directors, including Executive Editor Rex Wilson of the Peninsula Daily News. Here are 2010’s top 10 stories, in order:

More deadly disaster for the Gulf region: The April 20 explosion at a BP-leased rig killed 11 workers and unleashed a deep-sea spill that ultimately spewed at least 170 million gallons of crude into the Gulf. Consequences included devastation for fishing and tourism industries, a huge and costly cleanup effort, a management change at BP, and creation of a $20 billion fund to pay for damages.

A brown pelican copes with oily goo last June 3 on the beach at East Grand Terre Island, La.

Health care for all? After bitter political wrangling, President Barack Obama was able to sign into law one of his major campaign promises — a $1 trillion health care overhaul intended to expand coverage to more Americans. But Republicans used public misgivings about parts of the plan as a springboard for election gains. Turn

In addition, the overhaul faced a welter of lawsuits challenging its constitutionality.

Democrats lose advantage: President Obama called it a “shellacking” — a Nov. 2 election in which the Republicans surged to a majority in the House of Representatives, and gained more governor’s offices and legislative majorities. The Democrats were able to hang on to their edge in the Senate, leaving the U.S. with at least two years of divided government.

Looking up from the recession depths: Economists said the deepest recession since the Great Depression was over, and consumers began to spend more near year-end. But the unemployment rate stayed well above 9 percent, and home prices were weighed down by foreclosures and sluggish demand.

Haiti rocked by quake and its aftermath: Already the Western Hemisphere’s most destitute nation, Haiti was shattered by an earthquake on Jan. 12 that killed at least 230,000 and left millions homeless.

Crucial reconstruction projects were slow to get started; disease and political instability added to the woes.

Take tea and see: Though it lacked the trappings of traditional political organizations, the tea party movement had a profound impact on the 2010 election. It influenced the stances of Republican leaders and enabling some maverick challengers to oust GOP establishment candidates in the primaries.
