2 hurt in Hood Canal wreck PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
SHINE — A Port Angeles woman and a 6-year-old boy were hospitalized after their car crashed into the railing of the Hood Canal Bridge on Saturday morning. Kari C. Dryke, 35, and Easton J. Fisher were taken by ambulance to Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton for injuries suffered in the crash, the State Patrol said. The wreck closed the
eastbound lane of state Highway 104 for more than an hour. The State Patrol cited Dryke for driving too fast for road conditions and for a child safety restraint violation. The nursing supervisor at Harrison Medical Center said she had “no comment� when asked for the conditions of the two injured in the wreck. Dryke was driving a 2002 Lexus sedan west-
bound across the bridge when she lost control, swerved into the eastbound lane and struck the eastbound barrier, the State Patrol said, adding that the car was destroyed. No drugs or alcohol were involved, and seat belts were used, troopers said.

OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK –– Another chunk of Glines Canyon Dam will be blown away sometime today as work on Elwha River dam removals nears an end. Olympic National Park spokeswoman Barb Maynes said Saturday that crews had drilled 35-foot-deep holes in the concrete over the past week that have been stuffed with explosives to blow out one of the few remaining sections of the once-210-foot-tall dam. “We’re really getting down very close to the bottom now,� Maynes said. She did not know the width of the section on the far east side of the 87-yearold dam that will be removed today. Today’s blast will take out much of the remaining dam but not all of it, according to Maynes. Maynes said crews with Barnard Construction, the Bozeman, Mont., firm contracted to blast away the dam, were scheduled to blast
this portion of the dam Saturday but were unable to prepare for the explosion earlier in the week because of high winds. They also were set back by cold temperatures that led to a portion of the drill breaking, Maynes said. Removal of Elwha Dam 8 miles downstream from Glines Canyon Dam was completed in March 2012. Blasting on Glines Canyon Dam resumed in January after shutting down in November to accommodate fish migration. Demolition crews set off about 2,000 pounds of explosives packed into a concrete stub of the dam Jan. 26, reducing it from a height of about 55 feet to about 35 feet. The next fish window will begin in May. Glines Canyon Dam is being removed via controlled explosions as part of the largest river restoration project in U.S. history, a $325 million effort to restore 70 miles of the river to fish runs that were cut off by the

McPhee’s Grocery
A sprightly little market unlike any you’ve seen
ore M Ten Reasons
to Shop at McPhee’s Grocery We discuss important questions, like... 1. When the Hood Canal Bridge is closed, it’s open. But when McPhee’s is closed, it’s... Sunday. 2. Eating certain foods might lead to cell-u-lose. Hopefully, we don’t sell-you-those. 3. If egg yolks come from chicken eggs, where do Froot Loops come from? Ducks? Froot trees? Who cares? 4. Our Realemons are not real lemons. They’re actually plastic. 65¢. 5. Valentine’s comes but once a year, and when it comes, we want you near... bring your wallet too. 6. Why do some birds walk and not fly, and some cooks wok and not fry? 7. Some say when one door closes, another opens. I say, someone should fix the lock on that second door. 8. How did families function before peanut butter came along? 9. We don’t sell grass, but we do sell Mrs. Grass Soup Mix. 10. We sell white wine, white flower balm, white rabbit candy and white coffee. Really!

Deputy arrested
believe the man who groped an 11-year-old girl at a Snohomish grocery store last month is the same man who fire-bombed abortion clinics in Everett and Bellingham in the 1980s. The Everett Herald reported that at least eight people identified Curtis Anton Beseda as the man seen in video surveillance released to the media Tuesday. Prosecutors Friday charged the 58-year-old Beseda with first-degree child molestation in connection with the groping. A judge issued a $250,000 arrest warrant for Beseda. Police say he hasn’t returned to his Snohomish apartment in a few days. His vehicle also is missing. Beseda became a convicted martyr for the antiabortion movement in the 1980s after he was sentenced to 20 years in prison for arsons at abortion clinics. Beseda was revered by other anti-abortionists and was honored at a national banquet in 1995. Peninsula Daily News and The Associated Press
