Nuclear disaster now feared in Japan The Associated Press

IWAKI, Japan — A partial meltdown was likely under way at a second nuclear reactor, a top Japanese official said today, as operators frantically tried to prevent a similar threat from a nearby unit at the same plant following a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami that may have killed 1,000 people. Some 170,000 people have been ordered to evacuate the area covering a radius of 12 miles around the plant in Fukushima near Iwaki. A meltdown refers to a very serious collapse of a power plant’s systems and its ability to manage temperatures. A complete meltdown would release uranium and dangerous byproducts into the environment that can pose serious health risks. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano told reporters that a partial meltdown in Unit 3 of the Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant is “highly possible.” “Because it’s inside the reactor, we cannot directly check it, but we are taking measures on the assumption of the possible

partial meltdown,” he said today (Saturday night PST). Japan dealt with the nuclear threat as it struggled to determine the scope of the twin disasters Friday, when an 8.9-magnitude earthquake — the most powerful in its recorded history — was followed by a tsunami that ravaged its northeastern coast with breathtaking speed and power.

Thousands missing The official count of the dead was 763, but the government said the figure could far exceed 1,000. Media reports said 10,000 people were missing or unaccounted for. Unit 3 is one of the three working reactors at the Fukushima plant that were damaged, losing the cooling functions necessary

to keep the fuel rods working properly. The other unit in trouble is called Unit 1. The facility’s Unit 2 has not been affected. On Saturday, an explosion destroyed the walls of Unit 1 as operators desperately tried to prevent it from overheating and melting down. Edano said cooling operations at Unit 1 was going smoothly after sea water was pumped in. He expressed hope that it would keep the plant under control. Operators released slightly radioactive air from Unit 3 today, while injecting water into it as an effort to reduce pressure and temperature to save the reactor from a possible meltdown, Edano said. He said radiation levels briefly rose above legal limits, but that it has since declined significantly. Also, fuel rods were exposed briefly, he said, indicating that coolant water didn’t cover the rods for some time. That would contribute further to raising the temperature in the reactor vessel. Powerful aftershocks continued, including one today with a magnitude of 6.2.

Peninsula kin OK in Japan Local residents wait, worry until finally making connection By Tom Callis

Last week’s mammoth earthquake occurred more than 4,500 miles away, but for some North Olympic Peninsula residents, the tragedy in Japan couldn’t have hit closer to home. During the first few hours after the magnitude 8.9 quake struck, a bevy of e-mails and phone calls were sent from Peninsula residents to friends, family and colleagues in the devastated nation. Some — such as Teri Nomura of Port Carl Nomura Townsend — took comfort in knowing that those they were trying to reach were far away from the epicenter. But others, like the Rev. Ted and Marilyn Mattie of Port Angeles, found they could do nothing but worry.

Daughter in Sendai Their 27-year-old daughter, Amy Mattie, was in Sendai, one of the hardest-hit cities, at the time of the quake. It wasn’t until 2 a.m. Friday, more than four hours after the initial quake, that she was able to phone her parents.

miles along the coasts of Washington, Oregon and California. Subduction zones are the places where geologic plates overlap, with one being forced beneath the other. Japan’s magnitude 8.9 quake was the biggest in the country’s recorded history. The force was more than 1,000 times that of the Nisqually earthquake that rattled Seattle for about 30 seconds 10 years ago. The shaking in Japan lasted six times as long. The last time the Cascadia fault ruptured, more than 300 years ago, scientists estimate the quake registered magnitude 9 or greater.

A resulting tsunami sped across the Pacific and destroyed villages in Japan. The Cascadia fault appears to let loose every 500 years on average, though some scientists now argue that large quakes could occur twice as often. The Japanese fault has a comparable average recurrence time, though it had been more than 1,000 years since its last big slip. “They’re pretty darn similar,” said Tom Jordan, professor of geophysics at the University of Southern California and director of the Southern California Earthquake Center.

Then, 15 minutes later, the barge was back to where it was before. It was clear to Rohde, the terminal’s supervisor, what was happening: Water was surging in and out of the harbor.

The same pattern was noticed at the Port Angeles Boat Haven. “The normal tide cycle is 24 hours,” said Doug Sandau, the Port of Port Angeles’ airport and marina manager. “Ours was occurring about every hour.” Sandau said the pattern continued throughout the day.

In a separate case in Los Angeles, prosecutors announced they found insufficient evidence to pursue Gibson’s extortion allegations against Oksana Grigorieva, the victim in the battery case and the mother of Gibson’s infant daughter.

Briefly: Nation 14 passengers killed in casino bus accident NEW YORK — A tour bus returning from a casino at daybreak scraped along an interstate guard rail, tipped on its side and slammed into a pole that sheared it nearly end to end, leaving a jumble of bodies and twisted metal along Interstate 95. Fourteen passengers were killed. The bus had just reached the outskirts of New York City on a journey from the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut when the crash happened. The driver told police he lost control trying to avoid a swerving tractor-trailer. As many as 20 passengers were treated at area hospitals. Seven were in critical condition, according to police. Several were in surgery later in the day. The crash happened at 5:35 a.m., with some of the 31 passengers still asleep. The bus scraped along the guard rail for 300 feet, toppled and crashed into the support pole for a highway sign indicating the exit for the Hutchinson Parkway. The pole knifed through the bus front to back along the window line, peeling the roof off all the way to the back tires. Most people aboard were hurled to the front of the bus on impact, Fire Chief Edward Kilduff said.

Briefly: World Gadhafi pushes deeper into rebels’ territory RAS LANOUF, Libya — The world moved a step closer to a decision on imposing a no-fly zone over Libya, but Moammar Gadhafi was swiftly advancing Saturday on the poorly equipped and loosely organized rebels who have seized much of the country. Gadhafi’s forces pushed the front line miles deeper into rebel territory, and violence erupted at the front door of the opposition stronghold in eastern Libya, where an Al-Jazeera cameraman slain in an ambush became the first journalist killed in the nearly monthlong conflict. In Cairo, the Arab League asked the U.N. Security Council to impose a no-fly zone to protect the rebels, increasing pressure on the U.S. and other Western powers to take action that most have expressed deep reservations about. In surprisingly swift action and aggressive language, the 22-member Arab bloc said after an emergency meeting that the Libyan government had “lost its sovereignty.” It asked the United Nations to “shoulder its responsibility . . . to impose a no-fly zone over the movement of Libyan military planes and to create safe zones in the places vulnerable to airstrikes.”

Man convicted in Cuba HAVANA — A Cuban court Saturday found U.S. contractor Alan Gross guilty of crimes against the state and sentenced

him to 15 years in prison, a verdict that brought a swift and strongly worded condemnation from Washington. Gross The court said prosecutors had proved that Gross, 61, was working on a “subversive” program paid for by the United States that aimed to bring down Cuba’s revolutionary system. Prosecutors had sought a 20-year jail term. Gloria Berbena, a spokeswoman for the U.S. diplomatic mission on the island, termed the decision “appalling” and called on Cuba to release Gross immediately.

Pope on Facebook VATICAN CITY — The Vatican will unveil the latest installment in its social media transformation next week — a Facebook page dedicated to the upcoming beatification of Pope John Paul II, officials said. The site, which will link to video highlights of John Paul’s 27-year papacy, is designed to promote the May 1 beatification. But it may well continue beyond given the global and enduring interest in the late pontiff, Vatican officials told The Associated Press. “What we found is that Facebook doesn’t just share information, it creates community,” said Monsignor Paul Tighe, the No. 2 in the Vatican’s social communications office. “People begin talking to each other and sharing ideas.” The Associated Press

An urban area devastated by a tsunami is seen today in Minami Sanriku, Miyagi, northern Japan, after Friday’s catastrophic earthquake and tsunami.

Japan disaster leaves scenes of devastation By Jay Alabaster

The Associated Press

SENDAI, Japan — She scanned the landscape of debris and destruction, looking at the patch of earth where Japan’s massive tsunami erased her son’s newly built house so thoroughly that she can’t even be certain where it once stood. Satako Yusawa teared up but pulled herself together quickly. Because for the 69-year-old widow, there was this to be thankful for: Her son and his family were out of town when Friday’s offshore, magnitude 8.9 quake sparked huge surges of water that washed fleets of cars, boats and entire houses across coastal Sendai like detritus perched on lava. But her son had borrowed a lot of money to build that house, and had moved in only last month. “This,” she said, “is life.” No one knows yet how many people died in the disaster. Police found 200 to 300 bodies on beaches near Sendai but were still assessing the devastation in the northeastern port of 1 million people, where regional Gov. Yoshihiro Murai was to visit today. Japan’s overall death toll stood at 686, though the government said the eventual tally could far exceed 1,000 as search efforts step up in the coming days. For those who survived, the bleakest of landscapes unfolded before them.

Japanese-Americans seek news of quake back home By Jacob Adelman The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Nancy Niijima switched on the TV in her room at the Keiro retirement home to see images from her native country of submerged neighborhoods, cars being carried in giant ocean tides, collapsed buildings and cracked roads. “It’s like science fiction, not like what really happens in Japan,” said Niijima, who is concerned about her sister in the Okinawa island chain, whom she has been unable to reach. The good news is that she has no family near the hardest-hit areas. In the Los Angeles area and other U.S. regions with large Japanese-American and

Japanese expatriate populations, those with ties to the Asian country expressed shock at the damage wrought by the magnitude 8.9 quake and fear for the safety of their loved ones there. They also grew frustrated with their inability to reach family and loved ones back in Japan, normally not an issue in such a technologically advanced nation where the Internet and cell phones provide numerous ways to communicate with people in the U.S. “I tried calling my sister in Japan, but all the phone lines were jammed,” said Misa Washio, a clerk at a counter selling pens in a Kinokuniya Japanese language bookstore in New York City. “I tried about 10 times.”

Survivors wander streets In Sendai, mud-spattered survivors wandered streets strewn with fallen trees and houses ripped from foundations, alongside smaller relics of destroyed lives — a desk chair, a beer cooler. Power and phone reception remained cut, as rescuers plied through murky waters around flooded structures. Smoke from at least one large fire billowed in the distance. This is what it looks like when the earth shakes, the water comes and the fires burn: Life is interrupted, reduced for hours and days to basic survival. Conveniences, taken for granted in one of the world’s most developed societies, become mere hopes for tomorrow. Yusawa said she was having tea at a friend’s house when the main quake struck, shaking the ground massively for more than two horrifying minutes. “We were desperately trying to hold the furniture up,” she said, “but the shaking was so fierce

CLOGGING THE WISCONSIN Capitol grounds and screaming angry chants, tens of thousands of undaunted pro-labor protesters descended on Madison again Saturday and vowed to focus on future elections now that contentious cuts to public worker union rights have become law. Protests have rocked the Capitol almost every day since Gov. Scott Walker proposed taking nearly all collective bargaining rights away from public workers, but the largest came a day after the governor signed the measure into law. Madison police estimated the crowd at 85,000 to 100,000 people — along with 50 tractors and one donkey — by late afternoon.

KATHY KINANE AND her husband walked into an upscale Kentucky restaurant wearing snorkeling gear, a joking reference to the recent rain and rising water levels outside the eatery housed on a barge. They almost needed it. The Kinanes and 81 others found themselves floating downstream during the dinner rush Friday night when the restaurant broke from its moorings. All had to be rescued one by one with a makeshift gangplank of ladders and ropes after the boat came to rest against a bridge 100 feet downriver. “We were joking about the river,” Kathy Kinane said Saturday. “Well, the joke’s on us now.”

THE SPEAKER OF Maryland’s House vowed that Democrats would try again next year to pass legislation legalizing gay marriage, but the intense lobbying by faith groups against the measure in recent weeks shows that it won’t be easy. A loose coalition of Democratic legislators failed to gather enough votes to overcome opposition from Republicans and religious groups, including the Catholic church and many black congregations, to make Maryland the sixth state to legalize gay marriage. Lawmakers planned to vote on the bill in the House, but it was withdrawn instead Friday and effectively killed for the year.

YEMENI SECURITY FORCES killed six people Saturday and wounded hundreds in the second day of a harsh crackdown on anti-government protests, witnesses said. One of the dead was a 15-year-old student. The assault with gunfire and tear gas was the toughest yet by the Yemeni government in a month of protests aimed at unseating President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has been in power for 32 years. The violence began with a predawn raid on a central square in the capital, Sanaa, where thousands of pro-democracy protesters have been camped out.

Tsunami waves pound Ore., Calif., harbors community, besides tourism. “It’s going to be hard to recover here.” On Saturday, a sheen of oil floated on the water in the basin, seagulls feasted on mussels exposed by upended docks, and sea lions barked. About 80 percent of the docks that once sheltered 140 boats were gone. Cleanup crews were assembling, but divers could not go into the water, and workboats could not maneuver until the tsunami surges were completely done, said Alexia Retallack, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Fish and Game.

Tidal surges from the massive quake in Japan, which were barely noticed on the North Olympic Peninsula, devastated harbors in southern Oregon and Northern California. While much of Oregon’s northern coast escaped harm, areas along the state’s southern stretch witnessed the devastation left by a cross-Pacific tsunami landing on its shores, reported The Oregonian in Portland, Ore. A 25-year-old man washed out to sea while taking pictures of the waves at the mouth of the Klamath River was identified by the sheriff as Dustin Weber of Bend, Ore. Several surging waves rushing into the harbor near Brookings in southern Oregon on Friday morning did an estimated $10 million damage — not including the damage to the boats.

One dock broke completely away from the pier. Damage is estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars both in Coos Bay and in Depoe Bay. A series of powerful surges hit Crescent City,

Santa Cruz hit hard About 350 miles south in Santa Cruz, the only other California harbor hard-hit by Friday’s waves, the commercial fishing industry was minimally affected. Most of the 850 boats that dock in Santa Cruz are pleasure boats, including 60 that are lived in full time. Early Saturday, cranes began hauling up sunken boats — some possibly sal-

vageable, others snapped into pieces — while crews in life jackets and rubber boots waded near the shore, yanking chunks of broken docks, floating hunks of foam and other trash from the water. Divers with scuba tanks were also at work, assessing structural damage to snapped and tipping pylons, while a Coast Guard helicopter hovered above, searching for oil sheens and other contamination. Port Director Lisa Ekers said the tsunami caused at least $17.1 million in damage to the harbor and another $4 million to private boats. So far, they’ve found 18 boats “sitting on the bottom,” said Ekers, creating an environmental risk from leaking fuel. On a boat ride through the middle of the harbor, Assistant Harbormaster Larry White shook his head, remembering the moment Friday when the tsunami first sucked the water of the harbor out to sea, a sudden 9-foot drop. “It was like the earth opening up,” he said. “It was incredible.”

Waves were much smaller along most of the coast, and they also arrived at low tide. “That was lucky,” said lab director Eddie Bernard.

But it’s unclear if delegations from Mutsu City (Port Angeles’ sister city) and Ichikawa (Port Townsend’s sister city) will visit later this month as previously planned. “I’m anxious to see if they’re still coming,” said Cindy Sofie, Peninsula International Relations Association president. Nine children from Mutsu City were scheduled to visit Port Angeles on March 29.

Tsunami alert results in low waves By Tom Callis

Peninsula Daily News

A tsunami advisory ended Friday evening without much more than a splash felt on the North Olympic Peninsula’s shores. The magnitude 8.9 quake near Japan and the aftershocks that followed led to slightly higher waves along the coast of Clallam and Jefferson counties, but none were higher than could be seen on a stormy day. The tide was already on its way out when quakeproduced waves arrived at about 7 a.m. Friday, said Jayme Wisecup, a program coordinator with the Clallam County Emergency Management Department. None of the waves were reported to have reached the high-tide mark, she said. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration — or NOAA — said the quake increased wave height by 1.9 feet near Port Angeles, 1.7 feet in LaPush, 1 foot in Neah Bay and 0.4 feet in Port Townsend. At the Hoh reservation in West Jefferson County, wave height did not exceed

2.5 feet, Hoh interim Executive Director Bob Smith said. “There may have been a wee bit of surge,” he said. “If you weren’t just sitting there looking for it, you would have missed it.” At the Makah reservation in Neah Bay, the largest reported wave reached all the way up the beach into nearby grass, said Police Chief Sam White.

No sirens sounded No tsunami sirens were used because tsunami warning buoys across the Pacific Ocean did not project a major wave hitting the Peninsula’s coast, said Penny Linterman, a Clallam County emergency management program coordinator. Three tribes on the Peninsula moved residents away from the coast.

Moved inland Dozens of Makah tribal members living along the shore were moved inland at 6 a.m. Friday. They were allowed to return after a few hours. In LaPush, the Quileute

tribe encouraged its approximately 350 to 400 lower village residents to move uphill to the A-ka-lat Center. An estimate of how many went to the center early Friday morning was not available. The tribe also canceled school for the day. The Lower Elwha Klallam tribe, located just west of Port Angeles along the Strait of Juan de Fuca about 75 miles from the Pacific Coast, evacuated four families from low-lying areas at 6 a.m. They were notified a few Keith Thorpe/Peninsula Daily News hours later that it was safe to return. Port Angeles police block the road to Ediz Hook as a precaution Friday

Ediz Hook Road closed In Port Angeles, Ediz Hook Road along the Port Angeles Harbor was closed from about 7 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Friday as a precaution. Air Station/Sector Field Office Port Angeles at the tip of Ediz Hook was staffed with only critical personnel during that time period.

White said it takes four hours to do a complete evacuation of Neah Bay. “The coastline is the first [place] we worried about, so that’s where we started,”

he said. At the south end of the Olympic Peninsula, about 60 elderly people ate a pancake breakfast at the Grays Harbor Fire District No. 8 station in Moclips after they agreed to a recommended, but not mandatory, evacuation. Farther south, about 550 people were evacuated

briefly in Pacific County. When the tsunami hit, a wave of 2 feet was recorded at Westport.

Tsunami illustrates tribes’ need for higher ground By Tom Callis

Peninsula Daily News

Last week’s tsunami advisory highlighted the reasons two West End tribes, the Hoh and the Quileute, are seeking higher ground. The Hoh tribe is close to finally putting 425 acres of land into trust, a move that will allow it to relocate much of its reservation out of a tsunami and flood zone. In December, Congress approved a bill that transfers 37 acres of the park to the tribe and places another 425 acres it bought over the past three years into trust. But Hoh interim Executive Director Bob Smith said the tribe still needs to finish some paperwork to make it final. “As soon as we get everything done, we can start moving, start the process,” he said. That should be done shortly, with construction of a fire station on the land beginning this summer, Smith said. Flooding is a nearly constant

problem for members of the West Jefferson County tribe, located on one square mile of land at the mouth of the Hoh River. But the threat of a tsunami has always been in the back of their minds, Smith said. While he called the response to last week’s tsunami advisory from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center as merely “good practice,” he said it illustrates the reasons why the tribe wants to move to higher ground.

Smith said the tribe was prepared to evacuate its members from the lowlands during the advisory, but no order was given since the waves weren’t expected to be worse than on a stormy day.

Quileute

The Quileute tribe, which has been seeking land out of the tsunami zone for some 50 years, evacuated some of its residents Thursday evening in response to the tsunami advisory and closed its school, which is on Less to worry about low-lying land.

Bookshop to fete its 40th birthday By Diane Urbani de la Paz

Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — Wedding chapel, children’s nursery, tavern, place of morning starshine: Odyssey Bookshop has played plenty of roles over the past 40 years. And the store — now jam-packed with CDs, cards, toys and other goodies besides used and new books — will be the place for a birthday bash Tuesday, complete with cake, party favors and prizes randomly handed out. Odyssey Bookshop is that rare animal: an independently owned bookstore that is doing fine, thank you, four decades after a 23-year-old from Bremerton became the owner. It was Craig Whalley who bought the tiny shop at 114 W. Front St. for $2,850 in March 1971. Later in the decade, he inherited some money and bought the building that housed Odyssey; during the mid-1980s, he expanded into the former M&C Tavern space next door. Today, the proprietor is April Bellerud, who went from hanging out and helping out at the store to the person who bought the business from Whalley in September 2009.

Setting for weddings Bellerud said about 20 people have been married, with Whalley as officiant, amid the books. Whalley, you see, is a Universal Life minister, and once word got around town that he could lawfully wed people, the couples starting coming in. “Twenty is a very conservative estimate of the number of marriages done at the store,” Whalley said last week from his new home in Berkeley, Calif. “I’d grab a couple of customers for witnesses if necessary, stand the couple up in the romance section, and the whole thing would take five or 10 minutes,” he said. “I’d charge $5 for those

Porter is one of the staffers’ kids who’s grown up at Odyssey, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this Tuesday. and feel like I was robbing them, although they were always very happy.” Then, there were the kids. Four grew up at Odyssey, at their mothers’ sides: Bellerud’s daughter, Porter Funston, now 10; longtime employee Daphne Evans’ daughter, Alex, now 19; and former staffer Susan Chadd’s sons, Jake and Alex Haverfield, now 29 and 33, respectively. “They were tiny babies,” Bellerud said. “Susan brought them to work in a Moses basket,” and one Christmas, Whalley named the young Alex Haverfield employee of the year. How was it that Whalley was such a progressive employer, permitting his workers to bring their kids? “Much of that came from being such a pushover,” for assertive women, he said. After selling the store to Bellerud, Whalley took some time off, then moved to Berkeley to become the executive director of www. Lifering.org, an online community for recovering alcoholics. He recalls his Odyssey days with fondness and said Port Angeles welcomed him and the bookstore with its laid-back atmosphere, “not quite hippie but with some of that vibe.” In recent years, Bellerud has expanded the shop’s

merchandise to include things like the Starlightz that shine out the front window. She and Evans also added children’s toys and gifts, since they couldn’t find much of that around town when their kids were little. There are people who tell her: “This isn’t a bookstore.”

Murderer’s defense drops one complaint Cedes notes weren’t suppressed By Tom Callis

Bellerud apologizes to them — but believes Odyssey’s variety is part of its charm. “I think when people go into a bookstore, they should find surprises,” she said. Bellerud hopes to someday expand further, toward the rear of the building, and even give Odyssey its own solar panels. When asked why the store has prospered, Bellerud answered with something she called “a cliche,” but true: “We have a relaxed family atmosphere,” she said. “Every single day,” she added, “I have a person come in and say, ‘I just love it here.’”

PORT ANGELES — The defense for double-murderer Darold R. Stenson has withdrawn one of its complaints against the Clallam County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. Stenson’s legal team, which is seeking a retrial for the former Sequim resident, had claimed that the office suppressed bench notes from a State Patrol forensics examiner during the 1994 trial. Stenson, 58, is on death row at a state prison in Walla Walla after he was convicted of fatally shooting his wife and business partner on his exotic bird farm in Sequim in 1993.

Defense’s argument Stenson’s three attorneys had argued that the notes were not known to the defense until it was brought forward through a Freedom of Information Act request in 2009. But, earlier this month, the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office provided a copy of the notes to the state Supreme Court and a cover letter showing that it was provided to the defense at the time of the trial. In response, Stenson’s attorneys on March 4 withdrew the allegation that the

ouble-murderer Darold R. Stenson’s legal team, which is seeking a retrial for the former Sequim resident, had claimed that the office suppressed bench notes from a State Patrol forensics examiner during the 1994 trial. Stenson’s three attorneys had argued that the notes were not known to the defense until it was brought forward through a Freedom of Information Act request in 2009. notes were suppressed. Sheryl Gordon McCloud, one of Stenson’s attorneys, said it’s not a big loss for the defense since its argument for a retrial mainly hinges on the suppression of FBI lab bench notes and a photograph of a Clallam County sheriff’s sergeant wearing Stenson’s blood-stained jeans. The investigator donned the jeans at the request of a blood-spatter expert who thought it would help determine whether Stenson got blood on his pants by kneeling by the victims or attacking them. Stenson’s attorneys argue he contaminated the evidence by not wearing gloves. The notes from the State Patrol forensics examiner indicate that the pants were folded, possibly allowing blood to be transferred from one leg to another. “It’s a minor thing in terms of what our claims are,” said McCloud of Seattle. “We didn’t drop any legal claim. “We dropped the assertion that specific notes, about 25 pages or so of them, were not provided.”

McCloud represents Stenson along with two attorneys from the Federal Public Defender’s Office in Seattle. In January, Clallam County Superior Court Judge Ken Williams, on behalf of the state Supreme Court, found that the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office suppressed the photograph and FBI bench notes, though there was no indication that prosecutors knew of the picture.

State Supreme Court The issue is now before the state Supreme Court on whether the suppressed evidence is enough to grant Stenson a new trial. Briefs were filed last week with the high court. McCloud said she has filed a request for oral argument. “We are really hopeful that they will air this out publicly,” she said. It’s not clear how long the state Supreme Court will take to make a decision.

While saving money is a good thing, doing so at the expense of your health is not. Be sure to get all of your prescription medications at one pharmacy, and let the pharmacist there know if you are taking any over-the-counter medications, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, antihistamines, etc. Often prescription medications can contain the same or similar active ingredients to those found in over-the-counter medications, and taking both could result in over-medicating. It is also good to let your pharmacist know if you are taking any vitamins or herbal supplements as these can also affect your prescription medication.

With medication regimens becoming more and more complex, having all of your prescriptions filled at one pharmacy is essential. Many patients get some of their prescriptions at their local pharmacy and the other prescriptions via mail-order. Another scenario is patients who get some of their prescriptions at their locally owned pharmacy, and others at a “box store” in an effort to save money. Unfortunately, significant problems can arise when pharmacies do not have a complete patient profile and thus the pharmacists are not alerted to drug interactions or duplications that could be harmful or even fatal to the patient.

One of the state’s best clam digs now open Peninsula Daily News news services

QUILCENE — Finding a halfway decent clam-digging opportunity gets more difficult every year, with shorter seasons and beach closures because of pollution or overharvesting. One of the better clam digs opened March 1 at the Point Whitney Lagoon on Hood Canal and continues through the end of the month. “It’s a very, very popular dig,” said state Department of Fish & Wildlife biologist Alex Bradbury at the agency’s Point Whitney Shellfish Lab, “and that’s why it’s a relatively short season. “It’s easy to find, has good

access, and it’s easy digging. Draws a lot of people.” Bradbury said Manila clams are the predominant species there and that the clams are close to the access point in both directions. There are signs and maps posted at the lab and at the access, he said. From the north, follow U.S. Highway 101 south through Quilcene for about eight miles, then turn left at the Cove RV Park and Grocery onto Bee Mill Road. Continue for two miles to the shellfish lab. There is ample parking at the end of the road west of the lab. The Point Whitney Tidelands,

a separate entity from the lagoon, also offer good clam digging. They open Tuesday to run through the end of April. Bradbury’s phone number at the lab is 360-586-1498, ext. 208. Maps of the state’s public shellfish beaches, along with clam regulations, can be found on the agency’s website, www. wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/shellfish. Clammers need a state combination fishing license or shellfish/seaweed license (a 2010 license is still good through March 31). The legal limit is 40 clams of all species combined — native littlenecks, Manilas and butter clams.

Tax exemptions discussed at town hall By Jeff Chew

Peninsula Daily News

CARLSBORG — Finding support to kill more corporate tax exemptions that come at state taxpayers’ expense will be a tough and nearly impossible challenge for the 2011 legislative session, two Sequim lawmakers said during a town hall meeting Friday night. Addressing more than 100 attending the legislative town hall meeting at Sequim Prairie Grange’s Macleay Hall, Democratic Reps. Kevin Van De Wege and Steve Tharinger said such exemptions come at a heavy price to taxpayers — some $15 billion a year and more than the $14 million the state sees in revenues. Lobbying and the need for a two-thirds majority vote in the state Legislature to kill exemptions are what make them so difficult to eliminate, the lawmakers said. The two Democrats from Sequim — along with fellow Democratic Sen. Jim Hargrove of Hoquiam — represent the 24th District, which covers Jefferson and Clallam counties and part of Grays Harbor County.

Resources, General Govern-

ment Appropriations and Oversight, Health Care and Wellness, and Rules committees — is skeptical that the pharmaceutical legislation will pass because of heavy corporate lobbying against it, he said. Van De Wege made it clear he believes the highly lucrative pharmaceutical industry could afford to pass the savings on to taxpayers without a tax exemption. Members of the audience

encouraged legislation to call for a voter initiative on tax exemptions. Both lawmakers said they doubted any such union-busting legislation, such as the controversial proposal that passed the Wisconsin Legislature, will go to Democratic Gov. Chris Gregoire’s desk for signing. Since the recession began more than two years ago, the state has eliminated more than 8,000 state jobs, Tharinger said, some of the jobs lost to attrition. “When we move forward with the budget discussion, there probably are going to be a lot more people who are going to lose their jobs,” said Tharinger, 61, who kept his position as Clallam County commissioner when he was elected to his first two-year House term in November. He is the prime sponsor of HB 1294, which would streamline and consolidate the Washington Conservation Corps program under the state Department of Ecology to focus on projects to restore and preserve fish and wildlife in Puget Sound. The legislation creates more job opportunities, including those for veterans

of Middle East wars, Tharinger said. Under questioning from the audience, Van De Wege said the state’s Basic Health Plan that ensures health care for the needy should survive.

Basic Health Plan “We are going to be able to save it, but it’s going to be tough, and we are not going to know until the end of the legislative session,” said Van De Wege, 36, a Clallam County Fire District 3 firefighter/paramedic serving his third two-year term. Basic Health would likely be sacrificed somewhat to prevent cuts in education, the lawmakers said. Tharinger said that after he and Van De Wege met last week with administrators for both Olympic Medical Center and Jefferson Healthcare hospitals, they said they were told that both hospitals stand to be affected to the tune of $1.5 million each because of the state plan.

and each district has its own board of elected directors, which has a tremendous amount of power,” he said. “Over the years, the state has given the districts every tool they need to combine if they want to, so if I, as a state legislator, try to force them to combine, it looks like I am taking power away from local entities.”

Peninsula Daily News

PORT TOWNSEND — In what he described as the largest town hall meeting of his legislative career, Rep. Kevin Van De Wege heard several strongly worded statements in support of adequate educational funding. Of the approximately 150 people who filled the Port Townsend Community Center on Friday afternoon, about 30 were teachers or school administrators who attended in order to remind Van De Wege of education’s importance. The teachers present represented one-third of the district’s total, said Grant Street Elementary counselor Jeanie Glaspell. “I know he heard our concerns today, but it will be extremely difficult to get any additional funding through the Legislature this year,” Glaspell said. “I think it would be criminal for us to neglect the educational system and not

He and Rep. Steve Thar-

inger, a fellow Sequim Democrat, also hosted a town meeting in Sequim later Friday. Tharinger did not attend the Port Townsend meeting because of a scheduling conflict, his office said. Responding to a ques-

tion about consolidating school districts in order to save administrative costs, Van De Wege said it was not the legislature’s role to force such actions on a local district. “The state established school districts long ago,

Van De Wege said the restriction on the Legislature to not raise taxes without a two-thirds majority limits its ability to find new revenue sources. “It is extremely difficult to get two-thirds support for anything in the current climate,” he said. “Finding new revenue sources isn’t just about rasing taxes; it also has to do with closing a lot of the tax loopholes that the state has established over time, but changing any of that takes a two-thirds vote.” Aside from schools, the most critical issue discussed

Marilyn Muller of Port Townsend took Van De Wege to task about the bill, calling it “atrocious.” After thanking Muller for her feedback, Van De Wege said, “There are a lot of people who are concerned about that bill, and we are looking at a lot of different options, and I’m not even sure that my bill will be able to keep parks open or raise the kind of money we need. “At this point, I think this is the best option, and we can build in ‘free days’ so low-income people can have access to the parks.”

Agnew-area man likely died of hypothermia No autopsy due to no trauma signs By Paige Dickerson Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — A forensic pathologist in Seattle who performed an external autopsy on Robert “Bob” Goss, a 78-year-old man who was found dead March 5 after he had been missing for six days, determined that he had likely died of hypothermia. Because there were no

signs of trauma, a full autopsy was not done, Clallam County Sheriff ’s Chief Criminal Deputy Goss Ron Cameron said. A blood test for poison, drugs or alcohol was also done, but the results of the toxins screen will not be ready for up to two months, Cameron said. “There is absolutely no reason to believe that would be the case, but that is just standard procedure in a

She believes he may have driven her vehicle, a Grand Cherokee Laredo, from their Agnew home to

Wanted: A few good Jefferson heroes Nominations sought for Heart of Service Award Peninsula Daily News

How to nominate

Now is the time to nominate your local hero. We are looking for people who make a difference in Jefferson County — individuals who have made our communities a better place. The three Rotary Clubs in Jefferson County and Peninsula Daily News invite nominations for the 2011 Jefferson County Heart of Service Award. The Heart of Service was created to recognize the dedication, sacrifice and accomplishments of local people who do extraordinary things for their neighbors, their community or the environment. The award — now in its sixth year — is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Port Townsend (noon club), Port Townsend Sunrise Rotary Club, the East Jefferson Rotary Club and the PDN. “This award gives us the opportunity to highlight the good works of ordinary people in Jefferson County who unselfishly give their time and energy to help others,” said John Brewer, PDN editor and publisher. “These are truly local heroes, working to make community life stronger, tighter, happier, richer.” Such individuals clean up waterways, serve as literacy tutors, raise money for disabled people, protect animals, organize food programs for the hungry and aid crime victims and their families.

n Nominations should be made using the accompanying coupon and must be returned to the Peninsula Daily News, 1939 E. Sims Way, Port Townsend, WA 98368, by no later than 5 p.m. Monday, March 21. n A letter describing the merits and accomplishments of the person being nominated should be submitted with the coupon. It should cite examples of the individual’s special dedication, sacrifices and significant accomplishments in community service. n If possible, the nomination should include supporting documents, such as copies (not originals) of other awards, newspaper articles or letters of support. n Individuals, clubs, churches, businesses or other organizations may nominate. But only individuals, not organizations, can be nominees. n Anyone who lives in Jefferson County can be nominated. Recipients of the Heart of Service Award in the past are not eligible for a 2011 award. But those previously nominated, but not selected, for a Heart of Service Award are eligible for renomination. A panel of judges will review the nominations and select one to six persons to receive a Heart of Service

Award at a luncheon May 17. The recipients will receive framed award certificates and heart-shaped medals designed by Steve Rafoth, past president of the Rotary noon club and president and CEO of Enclume Design Products in Port Hadlock. If you have any questions about the program, please phone Brewer at his direct number, 360-4173500 (if he’s not in, there’s 24/7 voice mail). Or e-mail Brewer at john.brewer@peninsula dailynews.com.

Briefly: State Pet owner files $60,000 claim with city SEATTLE — A Seattle pet owner has filed a $60,000 claim with the city of Seattle after her dog was electrocuted Thanksgiving when it stepped on a Queen Anne streetlight metal ground-cover plate. In the 17-page claim filed Friday, a Bellingham attorney who specializes in animal law said Lisa McKibbin and her mother, Nancy Bostdorff, would settle for $30,000 under

three conditions. The Seattle Times reported that the women want Seattle City Light to post contact-voltage safety tips on its website, take part in an annual contactvoltage safety conference and make contact-voltage scans annually rather than every four years.

How I overcame writer’s block I AM WRITING this column from the road while promoting my new book, Mr. Funny Pants. THESE WORDS, literMichael ally those last two words, the Showalter ones in caps, and THESE WORDS, too, are being written while I sit here in the San Francisco airport en route to Los Angeles. My computer is plugged into a power station (not the ’80s supergroup, but an actual power station). Before San Francisco, I was in San Diego. Before that were Philly, D.C., New York and Boston. Next stop: L.A., then Portland, Seattle, Omaha, Minneapolis, Chicago . . . exhale . . . inhale . . . Toronto, Chapel Hill, Atlanta, then, ah, home! To my wife, my cats, my sofa,

my coffee shop, my friends! It’s been a great experience so far. Everywhere I’ve been, folks have treated me with great kindness and hospitality. I keep forgetting that in general, people are really nice. When you live in New York City, you sort of forget that. Not that New Yorkers aren’t nice, they are — but just . . . in their own way. Ahem. Anyone who’s ever been there, I think you know what I mean. Some of the highlights of life on the road so far (in no particular order): ■ I get to eat at McDonald’s with total impunity. ■ I get to eat at Burger King with total impunity. ■ I get to wear the same pair of socks three days in a row. The book I wrote is a memoir of sorts. When I first started it, I had lofty aspirations of writing a profound and life-changing autobiography for my readers. I saw it as sort of a cross

“Makes me think: Is this trip necessary? I just will have to forgo some of my driving. Makes me consider shopping even more locally than going to Sequim, for instance.”

between A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius meets Everything is Illuminated meets A Million Little Pieces meets Barrel Fever meets, for my young readers, Everyone Poops. I wanted to call it Everyone Poops Genius Pieces. My editor balked at that. Out of frustration and totally as a joke, I said, “Fine! Then how about we just call it Mr. Funny Pants”? I was being sarcastic! They loved it. Writing a full-length book was no easy task. Early in the process of drafting my profound and life-changing memoir, I had a series of very troubling revelations: ■ I’m easily distracted by ANYTHING: subtle changes in room temperature; any form of noise; the urge to stretch. The majority of my days are spent taking “writing breaks.” This doesn’t help someone trying to complete an important and noteworthy book. ■ Perhaps more important, as

I really don’t have anything interesting to say about my life, this makes writing a profound and life-changing memoir quite problematic. I think I’m just a pretty normal guy. I mean, I guess could I write a full-length memoir about my ho-hum existence. Chapter 1: My Shoes and Why I Like Them Chapter 2: Television, I Watch It Chapter 3: Sleeping is Great, I Do It Every Day ■ By far the most troubling revelation: I do not know how to write a book! I’ve never done this before. What’s my process? What’s my “voice”? What’s a book?! After several months of creative futility, I decided that, instead of writing my book, I’d start writing about my inability to write my book and see if that didn’t help me with my writing. Strangely enough, it did.

“I drive a compact car, and it hasn’t affected me yet. I still have to drive to work and still have to fill my tank. It’s just a fact of life. I pity the people in big trucks, though.”

“I drive to work in Sequim. My wages are not going up, but the price of gas is. I just have to spend less to be able to get to work. And my car seems to drink even more gas.”

“I am definitely trying to carpool more. We walk or ride our bike to the college. In the summer, when prices peak, it will be even harder, though. But as of now, I’m doing OK.”

“A lot. I’m walking more. I really have to plan our shopping trips. It has affected a lot of people in Forks. I don’t come to town as often, and I carpool more.”

“We just moved here from Texas. My husband drives from Sequim to PA five times a week for work. We have no choice. We will just have to figure it all into the budget.”

Interviews

Peninsula Voices I find the article about Port Angeles Speedway very sad [“Financial Problems Lead To PA Speedway Demise,” March 4-5 PDN]. The story doesn’t tell the real story. My parents, Jim and Pat Seeds, along with Tom and Jackie Parr, built Port Angeles Speedway from the ground up. It opened in the fall of 1972. I grew up there, and so did my kids. It was one of the best speedways in the Northwest. It worked because of a lot of hard work by a lot of people. No one got rich. In the early ’90s, they sold it to Reg Midgley from Victoria, who also did a great job of running it. It is a sad day for a lot of us to see it destroyed. Unknown what it’s future is, I am sure owner Josh Armstrong knows what he is doing. There is a lot of history and great times there. People have a right to do with their property as they choose. A lot of great racers

The end result is a memoir about writing a memoir. In effect, I wrote more than 250 pages about writer’s block. That must be some sort of accomplishment. This also raises a very important question: Do you still have writer’s block if you’re writing about having writer’s block? I don’t know, and I may never know.

outdated, regarding the meaning of what is done “to the least of our brethren”? Oh yes, can’t we overlook that Golden Rule? What do we really ask God to bless with our ritual appeal “God Bless America”? Sylvia Marshall Meyer, Port Angeles

‘Trickle down’ Did you ever stop to wonder how we were able to build the roads and bridges, the airports and the Internet; how we were able to rebuild after World War II and to educate and house the GIs who returned home? Ever wonder how we were able to do all that, and now we can’t seem to even maintain the infrastructure that a previous generation gave us, that infrastructure that makes it possible for businesses to be productive and profitable and for people to be paid decent wages? That was possible because in the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s, people recognized that it was fair for the

people who profited most from this infrastructure to pay a higher percentage of their income toward building the infrastructure we all benefit from. Now the rich seem to have convinced us that they should pay lower tax rates than middle-income people. Thus, we have unearned income from investment being taxed at 15 percent while middle-income people are being taxed at rates almost twice that, according to talk show host Thom Hartmann. That and reductions in the tax rates on high-wage earners in large measure explain why, since 1980, 80 percent of the increase in national income has gone to the richest 1 percent of Americans. If this seems fair to you, you must love the result of trickle-down economics, in which the rules favor the rich so much that they soak up the wealth of the country, and we keep watching for our mortgage payment to fall from the sky.

NRC’s relevant publication is Fluoride in Drinking Water: A Scientific Review of EPA’s Standards, published in 2006. This may be accessed at http://tinyurl.com/4kdo6hc. This report clearly associates fluoride with cancer but stops short of claiming proof of causation. More evidence is called for.

My undergraduate sociology courses, in a so-called fluff area, in addition to lectures, readings and exams, required every student to do several computer data analyses to test their ideas. To do so was time-consuming for them and me, and it was an added expense to a university education. But such research was necessary for them to appreciate the science of sociology.

Peninsula Daily News Rants & Raves Compiled By Lee Zurcher

Rave of the Week MANY THANKS TO the gentleman who found and turned in five sheets of Forever stamps I absentmindedly left on the machine in the lobby of the Port Angeles Post Office. I was relieved and overjoyed to find what this good person had done! His honesty and courtesy astound and excite me. There really are good people out there!

. . . and other Raves A BIG THANK-YOU to Pam on East Fourth Street [Port Angeles]. She shoveled all of our walks after the big snowstorm.

who always make sure our driveway is plowed during snowstorms. What a great place to live! HUGE RAVE TO Blue Mountain Veterinary Clinic (especially Dr. Meg Gordon), Port Angeles, for the compassion, professionalism and top-notch care for my cat, William. I brought him in, and he was immediately treated for a blocked urethra. Without their care, he wouldn’t be here, more cocky and active than ever! They now have a loyal client and proponent. A VERY MELODIOUS rave for Port Angeles’ orchestra members, and congratulations on their recent awards.

Rant of the Week

TO THE TWO men at the YMCA, Olympic Tire and later Bruce’s Specialty Auto who all took care of our elderly mom when she got a flat tire. Thank you! The Port Angeles community really looks out for our elders. This is a great place to grow old.

THIS IS A rant to everyone who witnessed me being T-boned by a truck at the intersection of Eighth and Lincoln streets [Port Angeles] Monday morning and didn’t stop to see if I was OK. Not one person stopped.

A BIG RAVE for the Joyce community (especially Linda and Barb) who once again came to the aid of my mother and me during my recent hospitalization. Also, for Steve and Jeremy,

RANT TO THE Port Angeles Post Office. The collection box on Front Street between Liberty and Jones [Port Angeles] has been broken now for weeks.

. . . and other Rants

Hope the Post Office can get it fixed soon. A BIG RANT to Olympic National Park for [on occasion] closing Hurricane Ridge Road. Our community raised money to keep it open. They need to hold up their end of the deal! DO WE NOW refer to attempts to control the behavior of others as a social skill? Seems more indicative of a personal sense of loss or control to me. The integrity to speak honestly is a fine contribution to social interaction. As for tact? If you want coddling, get a wet nurse. RESPONSE TO “SHAKE your bootie and be sassy” [from a March 6 rant]. As a cheerleader and in defense of the coach, her main goal was sportsmanship toward others, smile and have fun. “Shake your booty and be sassy” is a term we use to show excitement and emotion during a routine. Oh, and the short skirts are provided by the school! IN RESPONSE TO the [March 6] rant about the food at the Sweet 16 party: The next time you’re lucky enough to get an invitation to one of the casino’s parties where they provide free food, free games, free prizes,

please turn it down. Those of us who thought it was a great party don’t care to rub elbows with ungrateful cranks like you. MY RANT IS for the person or persons who come by my place like a thief in the night to put your garbage in my trash bin. You are even too lazy to bag or separate it. Come on, get a life or, better yet, get your own trash bin.

I have even seen many law enforcement vehicles ignoring this basic law on many occasions. It is quite irritating. I WANT TO know why our local mail carriers find it OK to talk on their cell phones and deliver mail. It’s just as dangerous for them as it is for us.

A RANT TO a doctor’s office that won’t complete a sports physical form based on a 3-month-old FAA physical. RANT TO CERTAIN indiYou may have succeeded in viduals who resort to bullying removing more money from my and harassing senior citizens wallet, but you failed in putting over insignificant issues. it in yours. Folks, we all make mistakes I took my business elsewhere. in all areas of our lives, so cut ________ some slack and quit wasting time and energy on such negative (CLIP AND SAVE) pursuits. Get a grip, already! PLEASE, PEOPLE, DON’T jaywalk right in front of my bumper, even if it is downtown. You are playing Russian Roulette with my reaction time. BIG RANT TO persons owning [two] dogs chasing deer and barking at 6:30 a.m. in the morning on Toad Road [Sequim]. Please keep your dogs home. I WAS WONDERING why there are no signs along the highway in Clallam County that say: Keep right except to pass. It is the law and should be enforced, as it causes traffic congestion.

Prep Notes

Football playoffs may see changes STATE FOOTBALL MIGHT go the way of the beauty contest. If some members of the WashMatt ington State Football Coaches Schubert Association have their way, how teams are seeded into the state playoffs could be altered by next fall. The current system of a 32-team preliminary playoff deciding the first-round layout of each 16-team state bracket would be scrapped. It would be replaced by a committee of retired coaches and athletic directors, who would seed teams into the tournament after the preliminary playoffs end. Sounds sort of like the BCS without the computers doesn’t it? “All of us realize there is not a perfect plan,” Lakes coach Dave Miller told the News Tribune. “We’re trying to get closer, to improve what we have.” Indeed, for many of the perennial powers like Lakes, Bellevue, Skyline and Tumwater, a shift to such a format would be a huge improvement. The way the current system works, each preliminary playoff game is slotted for certain district seeds into state. Surviving teams are then placed into a predetermined bracket based upon those seeds, with higher-seeded teams hosting lower-seeded teams. This can sometimes lead to unsavory first-round matchups like last year’s Class 2A game between No. 1 Lynden and No. 3 Tumwater. Port Angeles also suffered the brunt of that last fall when Interlake of Bellevue was granted the 2A West Central District’s No. 1 seed to state after it upset SPSL champion Clover Park in the preliminary round. That meant the Riders — 9-1 at the time after winning the WCD’s fifth seed in its playoff — had to travel to Bellevue to take on a 3-8 team at its own place. With a committee seeding out the 16-team bracket based upon popular perception, there’s almost no way that would have happened

Here’s the problem The downside: Dominant rural programs like Sequim might suffer because they are relative unknowns on the state scene. The Wolves have rarely climbed higher than fifth or sixth in any state polls during Erik Wiker’s seven-year tenure, even while winning six league titles and reaching state Wiker five times. Who’s to say they wouldn’t be pigeon-holed as a have-not? If such were the case, it would be difficult for them to shed such a perception since they’d be forced to take on premier programs in the first round year after year. “[The committee] will probably know about the Lyndens and stuff like that,” Wiker said. “But the league champs of [the Olympic League]? They are probably not going to know anything about us. “There’s only so much football they are going to watch and know.” Thus, in order to make an impression, teams like Sequim would be forced to run up the score. “I’ve never wanted to do that,” Wiker said. “But I know that if it were to come down to some kind of rankings . . . they are probably going to at least compare scores, which means kicking somebody’s butt will matter, which probably wouldn’t be good.” Mike Colbrese, WIAA executive director, told the News Tribune he expects to meet with representatives from the coaches association by April.

Peninsula College men’s basketball player Dudley Ewell, center, lets fans touch the NWAACC championship trophy as coach Lance Von Vogt, right, and the team are greeted by fans upon returning from the NWAACC tournament Wednesday in Port Angeles.

First impression Von Vogt raises the bar in first year at Peninsula By Matt Schubert Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — Peninsula College men’s basketball coach Lance Von Vogt is going to have to do an awful lot for an encore. After guiding the Pirates to an NWAACC championship in just his first year on campus earlier this week, he’s seemingly got nowhere to go but down.

“Or [we could] just stay static, stay the same and keep doing it over and over again,” a giddy Von Vogt said after his Pirates beat Pierce 80-76 in the NWAACC title game on Tuesday. “I’m OK with that.” No doubt, the Pirates faithful would be too. After all, they had to wait 41 years to see Peninsula College win its second men’s basketball championship.

Current Pirates announcer Bob Darling witnessed both, first in 1970 when he saw future NBA player Bernie Fryer torch Lower Columbia for a tournament-record 57 points in a 132-130 title game win, then again Tuesday night in Kennewick. “It’s a whole different type of ball game now,” said Darling, a 20-year-old Grays Harbor College student back in 1970. “The team in 1970 was a lot of Port Angeles grads. This team here is a bunch of guys from all over the country. You’re talking about a team of a bunch of guys who were thrown together and absolutely gelled.” Turn

Sequim’s Mitch McHugh, front, is thrown off balance by Port Angeles’ Anthony Brandon during Saturday’s game in Sequim.

SEQUIM — Fresh off two straight state tournament appearances, the Sequim boys soccer team started its season off on the right foot Saturday. Getting goals from three different scorers in the first half, the Wolves dropped rival Port Angeles 3-0 in both team’s first game of the spring. Walyan Lam, Nick Camporini and Saul Flores each netted goals for the Wolves, who avenged last year’s 1-0 loss to the Riders.

Preps “They did really well,” Sequim coach Dave Brasher said. “We were missing at least two starters who didn’t have enough practices yet, so I had a couple of subs in and they played really well.” Featuring a nearly all new back line, the Wolves kept the Port Angeles offense at bay throughout the nonleague affair. Originally scheduled to be played in Port Angeles, the game was moved to Sequim after Civic Field was deemed unplayable. “We just needed to get out and play a real game,” said Port Angeles coach Chris Saari.

Preps/B3

WASHINGTON — All along, the NFL said it was certain the union would dissolve itself and players would head to court for antitrust lawsuits. All along, the union insisted the league’s owners were planning to lock out the players. And that’s exactly what happened. Unable to decide how to divvy up $9 billion a year, NFL owners and players put the country’s most popular sport in Goodell limbo by breaking off labor negotiations hours before their contract expired. At midnight, as Friday became Saturday, the owners locked out the players — creating the NFL’s first work stoppage since 1987 and putting the 2011 season in jeopardy. The league said in a statement Saturday it was “taking the difficult but necessary step of exercising its right under federal labor low to impose a lockout of the union.” On Friday, the union decertified, meaning it declared itself out of the business of representing players. In exchange for giving up their rights under labor law, the players became able to take their chances in court under antitrust law. That paved the way for 10 players, including MVP quarterbacks Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, to sue the owners in federal court in Minneapolis in a class-action claim. The players also sought an injunction to block a lockout — even before one had been imposed. Despite two extensions to the collective bargaining agreement during 16 days of talks overseen by a federal mediator — following months of stop-andstart negotiating — the sides could not agree on a new deal. The league’s statement Saturday called the NFL Players Association’s decertification a “sham” and said the players’ court action is “built on the indisputably false premise that the NFLPA has stopped being a union and will merely delay the process of reaching an agreement.” The statement told fans: “We know that you want football. You will have football. This will be resolved.” Turn

Smoak-ing at the plate against A’s M’s first baseman finds groove in 10-2 victory The Associated Press

PEORIA, Ariz. — Justin Smoak is starting to see the results of all his hard work at the plate. Smoak hit a two-run homer and finished with four RBIs, leading the Seattle Mariners to an 10-2 win over the Oakland Athletics on Saturday. “Been working on a few things,” said Smoak, who began spring training with a 2-for-18 slide.

“Offensively, just trying to stay in the middle of the field and [Saturday] was good, both my hits were in the middle of the field. “If I can stay there, hopefully good things will happen for me.” Smoak, who also had a two-run single in the fourth inning, is expected to start at first base on opening day. Milton Bradley collected two more hits for Seattle and is 7 for 18 with a team-

high three doubles this spring. Chone Figgins, Josh Bard and Jack Cust also drove in Smoak runs for the Mariners. Seattle starter Blake Beavan pitched three innings, allowing a run and three hits. “It’s always nice to face the heart of the lineup for any team because you get to see how your stuff is,” Beavan said. Mark Ellis, Ryan Sweeney and Kevin Kouzmanoff

Notes: Bishop Wrapping up a Continued from B1

Those who wish to provide their opinion to the WIAA can do so by visiting wiaa.com and taking the survey by Monday. No doubt, there will be a few who disapprove. For more than two decades the state had a 16-team double elimination tournaments at sites in Yakima, Spokane, Tacoma and Seattle. This year, the WIAA switched to a regional format that pared the field down to eight before heading to the big stages of the Tacoma Dome, Yakima SunDome and Veterans Memorial Arena. Thus, half of the teams got a true state experience since regionals were held at high school venues. That was the main complaint of the new format’s critics, including Port Angeles girls basketball coach Mike Knowles. “This wasn’t a state tournament feeling at all,” Knowles said after his team was eliminated from regionals in late February with a 57-47 loss to Tumwater at Mount Tahoma. “Playing on high school floors, getting the same officials two games in a row . . . that would never happen at a state tournament. “The WIAA, they are not about kids. They can say all they want, but they are not about kids. You can quote me on that. “They’re not about kids, they are about money.”

Quiet exits Without much fanfare, two of the most successful prep coaches on the North Olympic Peninsula stepped away from their posts a couple of weeks ago. Chimacum baseball coach Loren Bishop and softball coach Bobby Cossell guided their respective Cowboys Bishop teams to seven state tournaments, six Nisqually League championships and five state trophies comCossell bined. Unfortunately, life got in the way of the their desire to keep on coaching.

With Bishop’s constructions business on shaky ground — Loren and Bobby worked together in the TriArea — they had to go looking for other jobs. The ones they got ended up being on the other side of the bridges; not nearly close enough to allow them the time needed to run statelevel programs. “It was tough,” said Bishop, whose sophomoredominated squad fell to Cashmere 5-4 in the 1A state baseball championship game last spring. “You don’t walk away from a team that took second in state and pretty much has the whole team back.” Indeed, the 52-year-old Chimacum native had a chance to do something no other coach on the Peninsula has ever done — guide two teams to a state title. His Cowboys won one back in 2007 thanks in part to the golden arm of current Seattle University pitcher Arlo Evasick. With just about every starter returning from last year’s team, including ace left-hander Landon Cray, the Cowboys look primed to make another run at a title this season. If that happens, the Cowboys will do it without the coach who took them to four state tournaments and compiled a 111-37 record since 2004. “That was definitely not my plan to do it quite the way I did it,” said Bishop, whose assistant, Jim Dunn, takes over the program as head coach. “It was one of those things that I knew if I took this job on that I might have to do. If I can’t be here full time, there’s no way I can be fair to the kids.” It was much the same story for Cossell, whose team didn’t lose a single Nisqually League game in his three-year tenure and made state each season. His new job away from town meant he couldn’t dedicate nearly as much time to the program as he had in the past. The sudden death of his wife, Jodi, in February further contributed to his decision to walk away. “I was actually looking forward to this year,” said Cossell, whose daughter, Mallori, plays center field for the Cowboys. “It was kind of a big turnover year, and we were going to start over pretty young again.

year of hoops

THIS WINTER TURNED out to be an exceptional one for North Olympic Peninsula basketball. Of course, that begins with the Peninsula College men’s basketball team winning its first NWAACC championship in 41 years. But there were a lot of highlights on high school hardwood as well. The Neah Bay boys and girls turned in their best state tournament finishes in school history, with the former taking second in Class 1B. Port Angeles had both of its teams reach state — albeit the unceremonious regional round — for the first time. Also, 14 of 18 area prep teams reached the postseason, with 10 getting at least one win once it got there. Contrast that with a year ago, when just 9 of 18 made the playoffs and only two advanced to state, and it’s easy to see how exceptional this season this was. Just to wrap things up, here’s a quick rundown of facts and figures from the winter that was: ■ Peninsula teams went a combined 214194 this winter, with eight squads finishing with winning records. ■ The Neah Bay boys became the eighth team in Peninsula basketball history to reach a state championship game. Of those eight, only one has even claimed a state title: the 1984 Port Townsend girls. The Red Devils lost 55-50 to Sunnyside Christian. ■ The Neah Bay boys are the sixth area program to reach a title tilt. “It was going to be fun to take a group of sophomores to seniors again.” That’s exactly what Cossell (59-16) did during his three seasons leading the Cowboys softball program. The sophomore group he inherited in the spring of 2008 eventually blossomed into a team that placed third in 1A with a 20-4 record as seniors in 2010. Now, like Bishop, he hands the reins to his former assistant, Mike Miller.

Port Townsend’s boys have the most appearances, making the championship game three times in 1953, ’56 and ’93. PT lost all three. ■ The Neah Bay girls finished with the most wins of any area team for the second year in a row. They finished 25-2 this season on their way to a program-best fourthplace finish in 1B. ■ Port Angeles senior Jessica Madison finished out her high school career with 1,895 points. That is well ahead of her brother James’ previous school record (1,703), and is in pretty high standing on the Peninsula. Of the area players whose stats are available, only Chimacum/ Bainbridge star Steven Gray (2,415) and Sequim’s Ryan Kaps (1,959) have more points. ■ Two other Peninsula players ended up topping the 1,000-point mark this season: Neah Bay senior Drexler Doherty and Quilcene senior Brandon Bancroft. Final numbers were not available Saturday, but we’ll try to get those at some point. ■ Chimacum sophomore guard Mallori Cossell’s 45-point night in a Feb. 7 win over Orting likely set a Peninsula girls record for singlegame scoring. ■ Sequim sophomore forward Gabe Carter set a school record with 163 defensive rebounds in a season. He was second all time in total rebounds (207) and named a second-team All-Olympic League player. Matt Schubert “I wouldn’t change it for anything,” Cossell said of his coaching experience. “I created some relationships with kids that will last for a while. “We had fun, and we were relatively successful, so it was great.”

Tuesday’s win On Tuesday, that adversity came in the form of foul trouble to Peninsula’s two big men, Freeman (6-foot-7) and sophomore Jerry Johnson (6-10). Forced to play without both for a little more than eight minutes total, the Pirates were able to outscore Pierce 20-12 to take control of the game.

Six-foot-5 sophomore Jeremiah Johnson held down the post and came up with a big 3-point play near the end of the first half, and Waller and Clark took turns knocking down 3-pointers. The guard duo combined to hit 9 of 14 shots from long range in that game. Clark ended up being named the tournament MVP after scoring 28 points. “Our competitive nature told us not to give up,” said Waller, who had 22 points and a game-saving block in the final five seconds against Pierce. “We wanted this championship very badly.

The same goes for Waller and starting forward Anthony Williams, this year’s glue guy and defensive sparkplug. Throw in the possibility of five more returning freshmen — not including any red-shirts — and Von Vogt’s idea of staying “static” atop the NWAACC doesn’t seem too far-fetched.

Make-or-break year on pitch Sounders looking for MLS title in 3rd year By Tim Booth

The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Urgency is rarely associated with an organization in just its third year of existence and already with two titles in the trophy case. Try explaining that to the Seattle Sounders FC. The most successful Major League Soccer franchise off the field has yet to meet its own lofty expectations on it despite a pair of U.S. Open Cup titles and playoff appearances in each of its first two seasons. Seattle expected to be playing for a league title by now. And the reality of not getting there is making the Sounders’ third season a tipping point in the infancy of the franchise. Win now — with the added pressure of trying to send out goalkeeper Kasey Keller and striker Blaise Nkufo with a title — or expect changes. “If it doesn’t happen now then it’s a true statement. If it doesn’t happen now then it’s time to start thinking about new personnel,” Seattle midfielder Brad Evans said. That was a message delivered by coach Sigi Schmid on Seattle’s first day of training, that Year 3 would be the deciding factor in how the franchise will move forward. Schmid knows the importance, having won an MLS Cup in his third season with Columbus before taking over the Sounders.

Seattle’s starting 11 rival anyone in the league, they’ve maximized their spending ability with three designated players on the roster in 2011 and play before the largest, and arguably most rabid, fan base in the league. But there are concerns, especially from Schmid, about how Seattle has played in the preseason. Their strikers rarely scored, their defense allowed soft goals and while their midfielders controlled play, the results didn’t follow. “It’s been a long preseason and we have had some ups and downs, for sure, in terms of our performance,” Schmid said. “At the end of the day, it’s all about being ready for March 15, that’s the most important thing for us. “We have been able to experiment with a lot of guys, look at a lot of players.” Seattle opens the MLS season on Tuesday night hosting Los Angeles.

Postseason flop If nothing else, Seattle should avoid some of the personnel drama that followed for the first half of last season when the Sounders appeared to be one of the biggest flops in the league, only to rally in the second half of the year. The Sounders went 10-2-3 over their final 15 league matches, seven points better than any other playoff team from 2010, but had the misfortune of being matched against Supporters Shield winners Los Angeles in the first round of the playoffs.

Season Preview

The Associated Press

Seattle Sounders head coach Sigi Schmid looks to his bench during the first half of an MLS exhibition match against the Colorado Rapids in Seattle. Going into their third season, the Sounders have yet to meet their own lofty expectations of playing for the MLS title. The Sounders were dispatched 3-1 in the openinground, total goals series against the Galaxy. “L.A., last year they beat us because of their experience. That game maybe came a year too soon for some of us,” Seattle’s Steve Zakuani said. “I think with a year under our belt, more experience, more maturity we should do better and if we don’t, we’ll hold our hands up and take the criticism.” Zakuani is part of an impressive front line that includes young star Fredy Montero and the retiring Nkufo.

The Swiss striker arrived in Seattle after the 2010 World Cup on an 18-month contract. No one realized at the time that the length of the contract coincided with Nkufo’s plans to retire at the end of the 2011 season. But the trio went scoreless during the preseason until Seattle’s final preseason game, when Montero netted a pair. Still, the earlier struggles raised concerns that no matter how strong Seattle is in the midfield, the Sounders may struggle to score goals again.

“In essence the reason we haven’t advanced in the playoffs, the reason we didn’t advance in CONCACAF is just finishing chances,” said Evans, who left the Sounders exhibition win over Colorado with a hamstring injury and will miss the first couple of weeks. “You see our games we get a number, number, number of chances.”

Strong midfield Midfield is likely to be where Seattle thrives. Uruguayan Alvaro Fernandez, Cuban Osvaldo

Alonso, Swedish arrival Erik Friberg and Evans — when healthy — make the Sounders middle among the best around. In the back, the Sounders welcome back Jhon Kennedy Hurtado, an MLS all-star in 2009 who missed most of last season with a knee injury. Hurtado, Jeff Parke, Leo Gonzalez and James Riley anchor a strong defense but one that lacks significant depth after top reserve Patrick Ianni. And there’s Keller, who at age 41 is returning for one final season in the hopes of going out with a title — or at the very least winning the Cascadia Cup from new rivals Portland and Vancouver. Seattle will get tested early, opening with a brutal 10-day stretch at home versus Los Angeles, at New York and back home for Houston. There will also be a hectic summer with MLS matches, CONCACAF Champions League games and defending their U.S. Open Cup title, all of which will challenge Seattle’s depth. “We got our feet wet the first two years, but we want more. We want to go deep in the playoffs, we want to go far in the Champions League, we want to defend our Open Cup, all that stuff,” Zakuani said. “I think that pressure, knowing we need to do that, can wear on your mind, which is fine. “What I think this team needs to do, it’s a young team, we need to learn to live with that pressure.”

Football: Out Dawgs: Thomas lifts UW to title Continued from B1

Continued from B1 Washington’s C.J. Wilcox hit a 3-pointer that tied the game 68-all with 7 seconds left in regulation between the teams that split in the regular season. The Huskies outscored Arizona 9-7 in overtime, taking a 73-70 lead on a basket by Wilcox before Matthew Bryan-Amaning was called for his fifth foul. Romar stomped his foot, with his staff and players insisting Justin Holiday had committed the foul instead. Solomon Hill, who finished with 12 points, made both free throws to draw the Wildcats within one. Thomas found Wilcox alone in the corner in front of the Huskies’ bench and he took a few big steps and dunked for a 75-72 lead. Kevin Parrom’s 3-pointer tied the game at 75, giving Washington a final possession with the threat of a second overtime looming. But Thomas wouldn’t allow it. The 5-foot-9 guard named after former NBA star Isiah Thomas brought the ball upcourt and calmly got off the jumper from the left side under pressure that sent Washington’s fans into delirium as the first repeat Pac-10 tourney champions since Arizona won in 1990 and 2002, when the tourney resumed. “The best player on the team, that’s what he wants to do. He wants to take the last shot,” Williams said. “That’s going to go down as one of the best shots in Pac-10 tournament history, so he deserves it.”

Tourney MVP Thomas, who played all 45 minutes, was rewarded with the tourney’s most valuable player award for the second straight year after the closest title game in league history.

The Associated Press

Washington guard Isaiah Thomas, left, puts up a shot as he is defended by Arizona forward Derrick Williams during Saturday’s game at the Pac-10 championship in Los Angeles. Washington won 77-75 in overtime. “It’s praise to all my teammates because without them I can’t win nothing, especially a game,” he said. It was Washington’s first win over a ranked Arizona team in six years, when the Huskies beat the Wildcats in the 2005 tourney title game. The teams were the Pac10’s only ones in the Top 25 this season, although the Huskies eventually dropped out. Thomas carried his team in the first half with 19 points, the most by any Washington player in a half this season. “He’s just a heck of a player,” Arizona coach Sean Miller said.

“The last shot is what everybody will focus on. He made a step back [jumper], third game in three days in the 45th minute that he played. “It’s one of the reasons Washington is such an outstanding team.” Bryan-Amaning, the Huskies’ second-leading scorer, had no points and no rebounds with two fouls in the half. The Huskies led 59-55 when Arizona ran off eight straight points to go up

63-59. Washington went 6½ minutes without a basket before Thomas, Ross and Wilcox hit 3-pointers in succession to force overtime. Arizona played catch-up most of the second half until taking the lead on two free throws by Williams with 2:56 left. The Wildcats were going for their fifth league tourney championship, and first since 2002. They fell to 0-3 against the Huskies in the tournament.

As was clear all along, the dispute came down to money. In the end, it appeared the sides were about $185 million apart on how much owners should get up front each season for certain operating expenses before splitting the rest of the revenues with players — a far cry from the $1 billion that separated the sides for months. But the union refused to budge any further without getting detailed financial information for each team. “I would dare any one of you to pull out any economic indicator that would suggest that the National Football League is falling on hard times,” NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said. “The last 14 days, the National Football League has said, ‘Trust us.’ But when it came time for verification, they told us it was none of our business.” By dissolving and announcing it no longer represents the players in collective bargaining, the union cleared the way for class-action lawsuits against the NFL, which exercised a CBA opt-out clause in 2008. The antitrust suit — forever to be known as Brady et al vs. National Football League et al — attacked the league’s policies on the draft, salary cap and freeagent restrictions such as franchise-player tags. Invoking the Sherman Act, a federal antitrust statute from 1890 that limits monopolies and restrictions on commerce, the players are seeking triple the amount of damages they’ve incurred. That means the stakes could be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. It could take a month for there to be a ruling on the union’s injunction request, and antitrust judgments should take longer. Depending on what happens in court — a Minnesota judge has held jurisdiction over NFL labor matters since the early 1990s — next season could be threatened. The last time NFL games were lost to a work stoppage came when the players struck 24 years ago, leading to games with replacement players.

A lockout is a right management has to shut down a business when a CBA expires. It means there can be no communication between the teams and current NFL players; no players — including those drafted in April — can be signed; teams won’t pay for health insurance for players. Even though the NFL is early in its offseason — and the regular season is six months away — this is hardly a downtime. Free agency usually begins in March, and there are hundreds of free agents now in limbo. Also this month, under a regular schedule, team-organized offseason workouts would start. The lockout grinds all such activity to a halt. “This obviously is a very disappointing day for all of us. I’ve been here for the better part of two weeks now, and essentially . . . the union’s position on the core economic issues has not changed one iota,” N.Y. Giants owner John Mara said. “One thing that became painfully apparent to me during this period was that their objective was to go the litigation route.” The NFLPA also decertified in 1989. Antitrust lawsuits by players led to a new CBA in 1993 that included free agency, and the union formed again. The sides met from 10 a.m. until about 4 p.m. Friday, discussing a new proposal by the owners. When the possibility of a third extension to the CBA was raised, the union said it first wanted assurances it would get 10 years of audited financial information. “I will tell you this: Any business where two partners don’t trust each other, any business where one party says, ‘You need to do X, Y and Z because I told you,’ is a business that is not only not run well, it is a business that can never be as successful as it can be,” Smith said. At 4:45 p.m., Smith and the union’s negotiators left the mediator’s office. About 15 minutes later, the union decertified. “No one is happy where we are now,” NFL lead negotiator Jeff Pash said. “I think we know where the [union’s] commitment was. “It was a commitment to litigate all along.”

Rescue of eagle creates bond, tradition EDITOR’S NOTE — Jaye Moore, owner of the Northwest Raptor & Wildlife Center in Sequim, has loved wildlife all her life, especially birds of prey. Licensed through Washington state and the federal government, she takes in injured, orphaned or abandoned wildlife. State, county and city agencies have her number and know that she is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. (She can be reached at 360-681-2283.) This story is by Matthew Randazzo, who is writing Mother Nature, a book about Moore.

The center was and is nothing more than a collection of selffunded, hand-built structures in the Moore family’s half-acre suburban backyard in Sequim that houses injured, orphaned and ill wild animals of miscellaneous species.

A light grazing tap on her head appeared to come from nowhere. A minute later, it happened again, and this time Jaye saw the bald eagle with the electric burns on his wings flap up and away.

No one-time social call It was Freddie — and this was not a one-time social call. Almost every morning from that day forward, Jaye was greeted the moment she opened the slide door to her backyard by the sound of Freddie’s happy snort from a nearby tree branch. Breakfast with Freddie became a part of Jaye’s daily routine — Jaye enjoying her coffee as Freddie chattered away from his low branch looking over her shoulder. This tradition continued for six years, as Freddie raised a family in two nearby nests with a mate Jaye named Wilma. Then, in March 2002, the visits stopped. A lead brought Jaye to a field off Seventh Street in Sequim, where she found Freddie’s talonpunctured carcass. He was the victim of a territorial battle with another eagle — a very common death in the densely populated eagle country of the North Olympic Peninsula.

Buried at center Jaye swaddled Freddie in the same blanket she first rescued him with and buried him at the center in the Flight Pen where he relearned to fly. By traditional standards, Jaye has never lost a child, but, if you ask her, she buried one of hers in that blanket in the Flight Pen.

Melissa Randazzo

Freddie Jr., the new mate of Freddie’s mate, Wilma, flies to a branch in Jaye Moore’s backyard Feb. 28. Jaye did not mourn alone. A day later, Freddie’s mate, Wilma, landed atop the Flight Pen in a frenzy, screaming for her partner at the one place where he could be found if he was still alive. She held a shrieking, mournful vigil from dawn to sundown for seven straight days. Gradually, Wilma found comfort in the company of a stranger, a wild eagle who began to woo her down from the Flight Pen’s roof.

New eagle, old tricks Nature is always in a hurry to eat and mate, but Wilma took her time. Gradually, she moved on, and the next year, she built a nest and raised chicks with this new eagle. She also taught this new eagle some old tricks. One morning, a groggy Jaye Moore stumbled past her slide door and heard a familiar call from a familiar branch from a familiar tree at a familiar time. It was Freddie’s call — only it

was coming out of the beak of Wilma’s new mate. Jaye was stunned. Here was indisputable proof of a bald eagle’s ability to memorize a complex routine and communicate it in detail to another eagle more than a year after seeing it last. Wilma trained her new mate to give his respects to her old “mother-in-law.” The Northwest Raptor & Wildlife Center still receives regular visits from the clever and obedient spouse we’ve dubbed Freddie Jr. He’s a loud reminder that the animals we care for are intelligent, complex and noble creatures who deserve every sacrifice we make to give them the best possible quality of life.

Former ranger finds wilderness home EDITOR’S NOTE — Chiggers Stokes, a former Olympic National Park Ranger who lives off the grid on a ranch southeast of Forks, tells about Stokes his own personal “manifest destiny,” a search for trees and wilderness that brought him to the North Olympic Peninsula. By Chiggers Stokes

Looking down the same corridor to the west, there are nine homesteads between myself and . . . Asia. I live on the wilderness interface. I have always wanted to live in such a place as the Bogachiel rain forest. I believe I was born in Rio de Janeiro, 60 years ago, to find my way here. Perhaps my journey started aboard a Pan Am Constellation flying over the immense Amazon Rain Forest.

For Peninsula Daily News

Endless wilderness

BOGACHIEL RIVER — In 1978, my search for a home in nature ended. I purchased a piece of the Flying S Ranch, where I live without electricity, surrounded by trees and wildlife. The land was named by German pioneer Otto Seigfried. The deprivations, physical challenges and self-sufficiency of these early settlers is the stuff of legends and not frequently displayed in a modern world. Still, living at the end of the Dowans Creek Road has involved some isolation. Our road keeps washing out and has been closed many times by natural catastrophe. We live in one of the few unelectrified communities in the Lower 48. Within 20 minutes of Forks, I can look down a two-mile-wide corridor to the east, and I have no human neighbors for 50 miles.

It was from the pilot’s seat with my hand on the yoke that I surveyed the wonder of this endless wilderness. Enormous white clouds built against an azure sky with an unbroken carpet of green forest as far as the eye could see. In the passenger compartment, a middle-aged man puffed on a Cuban cigar while his young wife smoked one of the cigarettes given to her by the airline. Their 8-year-old daughter drew pictures of the house in the woods she was promised her parents would build for her in a new country beyond the horizon. These were my family. In a post-9/11 world, it is hard to imagine the 1955 world, where 5-year-olds were invited into the in-flight cockpit to sit on the pilot’s lap and feel their little hands on one of the flight yokes. Access to woods was one of the enticements my sister and I

were promised to assuage our loss of Brazil and all it represented to us.

Virginia woods Before World War II, my father had bought two acres of wooded property in Langley, Va. At the time that my father bought the land, he was close, personal friends with Howard Zahniser, an environmental activist who was the primary author of the Wilderness Act of 1964. My father’s land faced what became National Park Service land in the Potomac River valley. The Central Intelligence Agency was constructed less than a mile through the woods from where we lived. Another intrusion into the massive greenbelt that I enjoyed as a boy was the construction of the George Washington Memorial Parkway. The beautiful, rocky palisades on the Virginia shore were developed as commuter highway, with the park service given the mission of making rush-hour traffic a park experience. It was the George Washington Memorial Parkway that hired me as a seasonal ranger interpreter in 1970. By 1973, I was living in the closest possible residence to Great Falls, Md., where I worked. But it still seemed suburban, and I yearned for something more wild. I moved into a tent and, from

From there, I moved to a biologists’ cabin on Plummers Island and, from there, to an apple shed, a cabin on Watkins on the Potomac, an old farmhouse in Seneca Creek State Park and a piece of an old train station near Great Falls, Va.

No rent, no power The commonality of every place I found was that I paid no rent, it had no power — or I didn’t pay for it — and I was surrounded by woods.

My predilection to live surrounded by trees was being threatened by enormous population pressures. Outside of protected land, all open space I enjoyed as a kid was converted to townhomes and shopping malls. I came to the North Olympic Peninsula as a protection ranger in 1977. I began looking for a treed setting to live in outside Olympic National Park. The next year, I began living on a portion of the Flying S Ranch two miles outside of the park. Turn

‘Twitter-pated’ birds signs of spring DESPITE A LONG run of colder-than-normal temperatures, everywhere you look, certain behavior indicates the birds are becoming “twitter-pated.” The first evidence of this was detected in the song sparrows. Song sparrows are solitary birds except when it’s time to raise a family. For most of the year, they won’t tolerate other song sparrows in their territory. Years ago, I read an interesting description of how this solitary habit influences them during the mating season. The male and the female look exactly alike, even to each other. There is a way to tell them apart, and the sparrows use this tactic. When one song sparrow sees another song sparrow in its territory, it attempts to chase it away. If the bird not only retreats, but goes into a submissive performance, the aggressive sparrow acts like it doesn’t quite know what to do. The more timid of the two will give ground and in a “come hither” manner begin fluttering its wings. Then, the aggressive bird charges again, but it hesitates a little. The submissive one also retreats, but then it advances, fluttering its wings at the other. It’s a very flirtatious performance. The male is a little suspicious and somewhat confused. You can only guess at the thoughts running through his head. Is this an interested lady? After his behavior how can he mend his fences

BIRD WATCH and entice her to become his Carson mate and raise a family? She is usually pretty willing and continues to flutter about with the intent of driving him crazy. Just such a passionate performance has become a daily ritual in the vicinity of our wood pile, and the two will soon choose where they will build their nest — or she will. It is also obvious that despite the nippy weather, the juncos are thinking spring thoughts. They’re very testy around other juncos and keep chasing them around the yard trying to get them to move on. The birds that hope to nest in our yard want the others to leave. It’s easy to see who is ready to lay claim to nesting spots. Their tail feathers flash white as they chase after one another. It’s evident that their winter tolerance for each other is about to end. One pair is already darting in and out of several bushes in one of the larger garden areas, and I am trying to discover which spot they chose. I don’t like stumbling on someone’s nest when I am weeding or cutting back dead winter foliage. So far, it is only the song spar-

This is a signal to us that the chestnut-backed chickadees and nuthatches will soon be doing the same, and it could start any day now. If their birdhouses aren’t ready, they should be. Some birds are still traveling

in flocks. Others are courting mates and will soon start building their nests. Some may already be on the nest. The Anna’s hummingbirds begin very early, and it will be interesting to see if the cold weather has influenced them. I doubt it, but I do hope that once

they have eggs or young in the nest, the weather will warm up.

Sailor’s mom warmed by kind gestures DEAR ABBY: I’m the mother of a U.S. Navy sailor who has been the recipient of random acts of kindness from complete strangers. I was most affected personally when a woman stopped us in a large parking garage in Chicago to say, “Thank you for your service, young man.” And there was a stranger who paid for my son’s meal in an airport when he had a layover on his way home for Christmas. Another time, we were in a line to see a movie, and the attendant waved us to the front of the line — and everyone smiled about it. Whenever my son goes anywhere in uniform, he’s

our country. Not only should we thank them when we see them, but we should also pray for their safe return. Dear Abby: I work in a large department store attached to a shopping mall. Because many of the stores have no restrooms, customers come into our store to use the facilities. I’m happy they do because it gives us more business. However, I’m confused by some of the patrons. I think it shows good manners to end a cell phone call when visiting a restroom. While I was in there today, a woman entered the stall next to me and continued talking on her phone

the entire time she was in there! It’s disgusting, but it happens all the time. I’m uncomfortable using the restroom while someone is on the phone, and I’d be very offended if I was on the other end of the line. What’s proper etiquette regarding cell phones in public restrooms? Is there anything I could say to someone who does this? Trying to Do My Business Dear Trying: Your complaint is one I’m hearing increasingly often. For your safety, I do not advise correcting the manners of a stranger. While common sense and consideration for others (including the person on the other end of the line,

as well as the occupant of the next stall) would dictate conversation be put on hold while on the toilet, nothing you or I can do will prevent this invasion of personal privacy — short of bringing a loud whoopee cushion with you during breaks and squeezing it in self-defense. P.S. If you think we have it bad in the ladies’ room, I have also heard about men talking on their cell phones while standing at the urinals. Heaven help us.

12 to-do tips for Peninsula gardeners TWENTY-TWO INCHES OF snow that hung around my house until just this past Wednesday, a full week of high school soccer tryouts (Saturday, too, but my son made the junior varsity team), as well as the garden bus, flower show, a trip to Seattle Children’s Hospital (no worries there!) and other phenomenon all grew together to prevent my weekly gardening column from germinating. But nothing is stopping the arrival of spring next week, nor the ever-sprouting work list as the growing season bears down upon us. So without further delay, let’s plow into a 12-step to-do list filled with some of my best gardening tricks and tidbits for the beginning of spring here on the Olympic Peninsula. ■ Defrond the ferns. A great and little-known secret for keeping your ferns lush, healthygreen and aesthetically pleasing is to cut away all fronds (leaves) as low as you can go. Make sure you perform this task very soon before this year’s fronds emerge and shoot forward because new fern fronds are extremely brittle and break off seemingly by just looking at them ■ Slug bait (early and often). Warning: Ever since the snow has abated, I have seen slug damage on various clients’ perennials and early spring bulbs. These voracious varmints will destroy your lilies, hostas, colum-

A GROWING CONCERN bine, lupine, crocus, tulips, May delphiniums and the likes, so please put Pet-Safe slug bait down today if you want the flowers tomorrow! ■ Drench the dormant oil spray. Here is a fantastic way to control and destroy overwintering pests, particularly on fruit trees and fancy ornamentals. Dormant oil spray must be applied before leaves and flowers break out, and it is best to spray twice within an interval of five to 10 days – with temperatures in the 40s or higher and no precipitation for 24 hours. So with these restrictions, get 97 percent or greater (like 99 percent) refined oil and try to spray twice with a backpack sprayer for targeted safe, eco-friendly pest control. ■ Mow her down. That’s right, everyone; here is one of your biannual chances to buzz down your lawn with my blessing! Mow your lawn this week as low as you can without scalping it. Then collect or rake up the trimmings. With this task down, the old

spent, diseased blades of grass are removed, and a stimulating, rejuvenated cut prepares your grass for the onslaught of the growing season. ■ Overseed/build a super lawn. Now that your lawn has just been given its buzz cut and the debris removed, it lies in a perfect state for vital chores. First, around the lawn with a high germination (92 percent) and low weed count (0.00__), put down rye and fescue mix followed by lime and a good organic fertilizer blend. Do this on a day that is or will be rainy, and with the tall grass blades cut away, the rain will wash down and evenly through the canes of grass, carrying with it the nutrients and wetting down the seed. ■ Roses low, too! Yep, now is the time to severely cut back your roses. First, cut away all dead/dying and crossover canes and branches, along with weak, spindly new stems. Then, cut at 12 inches to 18 inches your grandifloras/ hybrid teas or 18 inches to 24 inches on your floribundas. Cut at an outward-facing node and bring your climbers down to 2 feet or 3 feet. Finally, strip away all green leaves, remove all debris (where disease hides and spreads), cultivate, fertilize, mulch and water in.

■ Pea seed so sweet. Few places in the entire world grow edible peas and flowering peas as well as we can here on the Peninsula, so why not capitalize on perfection? Purchase sweet peas and vegetable garden peas today (tomorrow is alright), then place half the seed in lukewarm water overnight with manure, compost or some old mulch added to the water as an inoculant, which greatly aids germination. Then, plant the inoculated seed tomorrow in the garden. If in two weeks you do not see pea sprouts, repeat with the remaining half of the package. Getting an early start can give one harvestable flowers and produce by early June. ■ Violas. Very soon, probably even today, plant vendors have violas for sale. Here on the Peninsula violas flower all year, are very hardy, lasting two or more years, and are beautiful. Add pansies and coral bells as well for spectacular color. ■ Cultivate and smother. A weed today is 1,000 in May because somehow, they are born pregnant. Getting an early start is the best control, so cultivate your bare ground spaces. Then, my best trick is to smother by adding either an inch or 2 of topsoil or mulch directly on top of the cultivated weeds. A two-for-one sale — we all can use more black topsoil or mulch in

our beds, and the freshly disturbed weeds will rot away under the smothering effects of soil and/ or mulch. ■ Scratch in dinner. If you are going to cultivate, first add your organic nutrient blends, then cultivate because this will better disperse the food and aid in penetration downward into the root zone. Very soon, your plants will be as hungry for fertilizers, more so than they will ever be for the entire year! ■ End of the good times. Plant as many trees, bushes, shrubs, vines, roses, perennials and ground covers as you can these next two weeks because the weather moisture and sun intensity are most favorable to success. Soon, these perfect conditions will be over, so strike while the iron is sizzling hot. ■ Be edgy. Grass and its rhizomes are soon on the move, so why not give your lawn, flower beds and landscaping a neat look and edge them while you have time and the ground is soft? This chore done now saves hours of future work while tidying up the place.

Pack 4490 Cub Scouts who bridged up to Boy Scouts are, front row from left, Jake Emery, Jack Van Sant, Liam Stevenson, John Edson, Addie Berg, Hunter Davidson, Dylan Washburn, Mathew Craig and Weston Mason. Standing in the back row is retired Air Force Col. John Fabian, a former space shuttle astronaut.

Nine Sequim Cub Scouts bridge up to Boy Scouts Peninsula Daily News

SEQUIM — Nine Sequim Cub Scouts were presented with the top honor of cub scouting recently at the “Blue and Gold” ceremony of Sequim Pack 4490. More than 190 family and friends attended the dinner and celebration held at the Sequim Community Church. Earning this top honor were Addie Berg, Mathew Craig, Hunter Davidson, John Edson, Jake Emery, Weston Mason, Liam Stevenson, Jack Van Sant and Dylan Washburn. The Arrow of Light

award is the highest award available to Cub Scouts. Each scout received a handmade wooden arrow monument in recognition of their accomplishment. The ceremony marks the last official event as a Cub Scout for the boys. As part of the ceremony, they officially became Boy Scouts. The new Boy Scouts crossed a symbolic wooden bridge on stage symbolizing their graduation from younger Cub Scouts into the older Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts from local troops were waiting at the other side of the bridge to welcome them into their

troops after the end of the Arrow of Light Ceremony. The new Scouts will be able to wear their Arrow of Light pin on their Boy Scout uniform; if as adults they become scout leaders, they will also be able to wear a symbol of that accomplishment on their adult leader uniforms. The Scouts were surprised when renown astronaut retired Air Force Col. John Fabian stepped on stage to speak. His attendance at the event had been kept secret from the Scouts in case the busy former shuttle astronaut wasn’t able to return in time from his recent trip

to Kennedy Space Center. Fabian had just returned only days before from seeing off the final voyage of the space shuttle Discovery. After regaling the audience with anecdotes of traveling at Mach 25 and space travel, he presented the graduating Cub Scouts with the official mission patch from space shuttle Discovery’s final mission — the STS-133 patch. Fabian had acquired the patches for the Scouts while at Kennedy Space Center. For more information on joining Pack 4490, visit www.sequimscouts.org.

Mr. Johnston

while females live about 55 years. “He’s the iconic killer whale of the southern resident killer whale community. He’s been around since way before the whalewatchers,” Malleson said. Confirmation that J1 is not with the pod came last

cial, but you can’t live forever,” he said. Ruffles has left a legacy in the form of at least seven offspring, who are spread around all three pods, Balcomb said. The oldest remaining male is believed to be L41, who is 34. There are now 85 members of the three pods, but it is not yet known whether there have been any recent births, Balcomb said. Although J Pod tends to stay around the San Juan Islands and British Columbia’s Gulf Islands and yearround, L and K Pods are wanderers.

weekend when Malleson saw J Pod in resting formation, allowing him to do a roll call. Malleson said he suspected last year that the end was near for Ruffles as the orca started to smell. “Of course it’s a loss, but it was inevitable. He was living on borrowed time,” he said. Ken Balcomb, of the Center for Whale Research, based in Friday Harbor, said J1 was the first of the endangered southern residents to be designated in the photoidentification study, led by Michael Bigg, that started in the mid-1970s. “He was very, very spe-

Death and Memorial Notice CAROLE SUSAN ANDREWS May 24, 1933 February 24, 2011 Carole Susan Andrews, 77, died February 24, 2011, in Sequim from complications of Alzheimer’s disease. Carole was born May 24, 1933, in Astoria, Oregon, to Bertha G. Wakeman and John W. King, each teaching or administrating in the public schools of Westport and Oakridge, Oregon, that Carole attended through high school, graduating in 1951. In school, she was a member of most student groups, an honor student and known for saying “Oh, Brother.” She was deemed to have the ideal voice for the ideal young woman and she had “gentle ways” passed to one less blessed. She attended Northwest Christian University in Eugene, Oregon, for the 1951-52 year. In 1953, she was working as an insurance clerk at the Eugene Hospital and Clinic. In 1954 she married Gene Andrews. They moved to Mountain View, California, where he had his first job as an electrical engineer. Carole worked as an insurance clerk for a

Mrs. Andrews Menlo Park Clinic. Then, as a pedestrian, she was struck by a speeding motorist fracturing her pelvis and skull. She was convalescing for several months. Rh incompatibility caused jaundice in children born, with subsequent transfusions alleviating a serious condition for one child, Susan. Another two children were lost very early on. Carole and Gene wanted to add to their family so they turned to adoption, and God provided Joel. Carole learned to depend on God’s promises and on prayer. She served as a co-host for her Christian Women’s Fellowship group for several years. In 1962, with their two

children, they moved to Portland, Oregon, and resided there until 1998, after Gene’s retirement. Carole loved to tell of meeting Gene and how certainly they would marry. They both attended a Christian retreat, and prior to Gene calling, months later, for a date she had already picked out her wedding dress. She was a Weight Watchers lecturer who inspired her weekly groups with quotes from Erma Bombeck or from The Fat is in Your Head by Charlie Shedd. Carole was a good sport about camping and even backpacking, enjoying many trips in the Northwest. She and Gene taught Sunday school for fifthgrade girls and boys, and they sang in the church choir. For devotional reading beyond her Bible, she enjoyed the books by Catherine Marshall. Mrs. Andrews is survived by her husband, Gene Andrews, and her daughter and son-in-law, Susan and Noel Carey, all of Sequim. Four grandchildren and one great-grandchild survive her. Further survivors include her sister-in-law and husband, Evelyn and Harris Prival of Potomac, Maryland; brother-in-law and wife, Stanley and

Lorie Andrews of Albany, Oregon; mother-in-law, Dorothy Andrews of Creswell, Oregon; and niece, Ginger Kuhs of Wilton, California. Also surviving is her fondly loved pet Corgie, Tiny. Preceding Mrs. Andrews in death were her infant son, Craig Andrews, in 1957, and her son, Joel Andrews, in 2004. When Gene joins her in heaven, he expects Carole to say: “There you are! I’ve been looking all over for you! I’m so glad you are here! Isn’t he a handsome man! He is my husband!” A celebration of life memorial will be held Friday, March 18, 2011, at 1 p.m. in the chapel of Dungeness Community Church at 45 Eberle Lane in Sequim, with Pastor Scott Culver officiating. Memorial donations may be made to Dungeness Community Church, P.O. Box 2920, Sequim, WA 98382, or to Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County, 540 East Eighth Street, Port Angeles, WA 98362 The family expresses thanks to the many who were able to visit, care and pray for Carole these past two years. You have all been ministering angels.

Remembering a Lifetime

Mrs. DeBondt at the wisdom and compassion she had as a young nurse so early in her career. She enjoyed traveling, especially to Germany to visit her relatives. On one of her first adventures, she did a bicycle tour of New Zealand. She got a kick from traveling through both Gore and Clinton, New Zealand, during the presidential inauguration. Ellen’s love of kayaking started when her Uncle Joe took her paddling on the Potomac River. In May 1994, Ellen and Shirley decided it was time to leave Virginia as Ellen wanted to live in Seattle so she could kayak more. The two sisters packed up the house along with an old kayak her Uncle had given her and drove across country in a huge U-Haul truck complete with Ellen’s BMW hitched to the back. The cross-country trip got Ellen started on her mastery of outdoor cooking. They camped each night until they came to Moses Lake, when they realized the local campground was right below a shooting range. They looked at each other and said, “Maybe we should stay in a hotel.” In Seattle she worked as a hospice nurse, assisting many AIDS patients and others who were house-bound. Later she became an oncology nurse

kayaks on the Crescent Bay breaks. One day early in 2008, they happened upon a house for sale that overlooks the bay and made a split-second decision to buy it and moved from Seattle. Ellen began working for Olympic Medical Home Health. She loved her new home and the North Olympic Peninsula lifestyle. She and Ken would often rise early to surf, before work. She volunteered at Salt Creek Farm and enjoyed gathering berries and other wild edibles, canning, making preserves, baking and cooking. She was even known to capture the location of berry-picking spots on her GPS and return when it was time to harvest. Ellen was always optimistic, positive, patient and extremely generous. She gave to those around her, but saw herself as the receiver, blessed with a life that she loved. Ellen was killed instantly on Sunday, March 6, 2011, as she was beginning her day of work, when her pickup truck was hit by an oncoming vehicle that veered into her lane. She is survived by her husband, Ken, and Rio, her faithful dog; her parents, Bill and Maria Wilson; her sisters, Gabriele (Finn) and Shirley (Sullivan); brothers, James and Raymond; as well as nephews, Justin, Jason, Aaron, Devin and Lucas, and nieces, Teresa, Amanda, Kelsey and Emily, whom she loved dearly. In addition she will be mourned by her in-laws, mother, Harriet, and sisters, Sedora, Debra and Becky, as well as a huge circle of friends, all of whom will forever miss her presence. A memorial service will be held at Salt Creek County Park near Joyce on Sunday, March 20 2011, at 1 p.m.

Ellen DeBondt loved her life and lived each day to its fullest. Born Ellen Joan Wilson on July 27, 1966, in Jacksonville, North Carolina, she was the fifth and final child of William “Bill” and Maria Lederle Wilson. Bill was a career Marine Corps officer and met Maria after she had moved from her native Germany to Washington, D.C., to have her first life adventure on her own. During Ellen’s childhood, the family called many places home, but the most significant part of her childhood was spent in Pearl City and Kailua, Hawaii. After graduating from high school in Kailua, Ellen traveled with her sister, Shirley, to Virginia, where both attended George Mason University. To earn money for college Shirley and Ellen, along with their brother, Raymond, and his family, sold Shaved Ice at weekend festivals in Virginia and Washington, D.C. Their parents, Maria and Bill, often joined them for the Shaved Ice craziness, and said this was one of their favorite times. While studying for her nursing degree, she was able to practice her skill when she had to put a cast on her brother Jamie’s arm that he “broke” while working construction, one summer in Virginia. Ellen became a registered nurse, first working at Sibley Hospital in the District of Columbia, then as a traveling nurse and later as a hospice nurse in Northern Virginia. When she moved to Seattle in 1994, many of the relatives of her patients wrote letters thanking her for the wonderful care she gave, and all were amazed

at the University of Washington Medical Center and then moved to the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance Pain Clinic. Wherever she worked, she was very highly regarded due to her caring ways, her knowledge, competence, hard work and willingness to go the “extra mile” for her patients. Settled in Seattle, Ellen became involved with the Washington Kayak Club. Several of the kayakers developed a tight-knit group, boating nearly every weekend on rivers throughout the Northwest. In this time period, Ellen and Ken fell in love, and in August 1999, they wed on the beach at LaPush in a ceremony that included the couple entering through an archway of kayak paddles held by their friends. Ellen was an extraordinary athlete. She maintained her top condition through Pilates and regular hard workouts, commuting to work by bicycle (even in miserable weather) and the many outdoor sports she kept busy with on evenings and weekends. She loved the water and was involved in whitewater, surf and sea kayaking, as well as mountain biking and trail running. On Mother’s Day weekend 2008, she ran the Hippie Chick Half-Marathon with her mom and sisters, Gaby and Shirley. She completed the Nike Women’s Marathon (2006), the North Olympic Discovery Marathon (2010) and the Mountains to Sound Relay Race, in which Ellen and Ken won the masters pair division three years in a row. Most recently she became an accomplished stand-up paddleboard surfer. Ellen and Ken had a special place in their hearts for the Olympic Peninsula and especially the Crescent Bay area. They spent many weekends surfing their

PEAK Leadership program board of directors chairman Joe Murray, Gina Lowman, executive vice president/chief banking officer for First Federal, Becky McGinty, PEAK treasurer, and John Calhoun, PEAK board vice chairman, hold a novelty check for $2,500 from First Federal to the leadership program.

Leadership program fundraising begins Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — First Federal recently donated $2,500 to the PEAK Leadership Program to help kick off the program’s 2011 fundraising campaign. PEAK is a 10-month adult program serving Clallam and Jefferson counties which was launched in September 2008 as a joint project of EDC Team Jefferson and Peninsula College. It seeks to develop a network of

leaders on the North Olympic Peninsula. PEAK stands for “purposeful, effective, authentic, the keystones of quality leadership.” The nonprofit program is supported entirely by private contributions, with a fund raising goal for 2011 of $20,000. “The goal of the PEAK Leadership Program is to develop leaders who will work effectively to strengthen the economic, cultural

and social well being of our regional communities,” said John Calhoun, a Port of Port Angeles commissioner who also serves as a PEAK board member and its campaign chair. “The generous contribution from First Federal gives us a great start on this year’s campaign and is a great investment in the communities of Jefferson and Clallam counties by First Federal,” he added.

What’s in your boat’s first aid kit? BOATING ENTHUSIASTS AND neophyte mariners alike are invited to attend the monthly meeting Monday night of the North Olympic Sail and Power Squadron at the Cedars at Dungeness Golf Club, 1965 Woodcock Road, northwest of Sequim. There will be a social hour at 5 p.m. and dinner, which is $19 per person, at 6 p.m. The squadron’s safety committee will give a presentation on what constitutes an adequate first aid kit that all boaters should have onboard their vessels. Attendees are encouraged to bring the first aid kit from their boat or home to the meeting, and members of the safety committee will evaluate their portable medicine cabinet and make recommendations. For more information or to make a reservation, call Deta Stem at 360-683-9444 or Svein Selieseth at 360582-9744.

Kearns said the next couple of months will be spent catching up on maintenance items and clearing the deck of lingering administrative issues as well as replenishing the ship’s stores and supplies. The details of Active’s next deployment remain unsettled. However, in addition to whatever duties may be conferred upon her, one port of call has been confirmed for 2011 — Portland, Ore., at the Rose Festival in June. It is there that Active will join a fleet of Coast Guard cutters, U.S. Navy ships and Canadian Maritime Forces for Fleet Week and participate in a tradition dating back to 1907 when the USS Charleston was the first ship to visit the Portland Rose Festival.

Platypus Marine also hauled Eliza Joye out of the water, and the commercial fishing boat is sitting in the Commander Building, where she will remain for another week or so. Capt. Charlie said the 54-foot vessel, which hails from Nanaimo, B.C., will have her prop tuned, zincs installed, sonar equipment upgraded and drainage issues in her scuppers resolved. Eliza Joye is a tuna troller owned by John Jenkins of Sooke, B.C. John trolls for albacore about 130 miles offshore from about the middle of June to October. The vessel holds about 25 tons of fish that are blast-frozen to minus-40 degrees Fahrenheit. The troller is a fiberglass boat that was built in 1979 by Phillbrooks Boatyard in Sidney, B.C. While standing beneath the boat speaking with Capt. Charlie and John, I noticed a couple of aluminum plates about 2½ feet to 3 feet square that had been embedded into the bottom.

There were also two plates — one of aluminum and one of copper — that followed the contour of the keel, and these, too, were embedded. I asked John about the purpose of the plates — and the explanation that followed had me wondering if I was listening to a fisherman spinning a tale. John explained to me that all boats are surrounded by an electrical field — an aura, so to speak. This electrical aura emits either positive or negative ions which repel or attract fish — positive attracts and negative repels. John went on to explain that these plates, in concert with the zincs and aluminum anodes that are strategically placed on the bottom of the boat, create a “happy place” of positive ions that attracts tuna to the boat’s wake as she trolls through the water at about 5 knots. During the course of John’s commentary, he was unable to keep a straight face, and I met his discourse with my own skeptical grin. Even now as I write

this, I can hardly keep from chuckling. However, after doing a little research, there seems to be anecdotal evidence that supports John’s attraction to this concept, but I was unable to find any scientific evidence that confirms the theory. John did wrap up the conversation by saying that regardless of the state of the science, the plates work for him and will be on his boats as long as he owns them.

colorectal cancers were the most common types among survivors, and female survivors (54.3 percent) outnumbered males (45.7 percent). About 59.5 percent of survivors were older than 65, and less than 1 percent were younger than 19. Women are more likely to be survivors because breast and cervical cancer usually occur at a younger age and can be detected early and treated successfully. About 1.1 million survivors had lived with the diagnosis for more than 25 years, and 75.4 percent of those were women. Nearly 2.6 million women were survivors of breast cancer as of January 2007, while almost 2.3 million men were survivors of prostate cancer. Trailing far behind those groups were the 1.1 million survivors of colorectal cancer; in fourth place were the nearly 800,000 survivors of kidney and renal pelvis cancers.

Emissions harm orcas, study says Exhaust gas from boats ‘worrying’ By Sandra McCulloch Victoria Times Colonist

VICTORIA — The endangered population of southern resident killer whales faces serious health issues from the emissions of pleasure and whale-watching boats, a study by a Victoria zoologist has found. Over 2½ years, Cara Lachmuth studied vehicle traffic and atmospheric conditions near the southern resident killer whale population, which currently has 87 members. What she observed is “worrying,” Lachmuth said in an interview. “We’re right at the threshold of where you would expect to see health effects,” said Lachmuth. “Right now, there are no limits on the number of

boats that can whale-watch. “If you want to go fishing, you need a permit, but with whale-watching that doesn’t exist.” The current guideline restricting Canadian boats to 100 meters (330 feet) from killer whales is adequate, she found. Orcas in U.S. waters are protected by a 100-yard (91 meters) boundary by law. Environmentalists in the U.S. are pushing to have that distance increased. Boaters who through ignorance or recklessness breach the recommended distance increase the health risk to the orcas through their vehicles’ exhaust, said Lachmuth, whose study was published in the Marine Pollution Bulletin.

Far worse than freeway As it is, under average conditions, killer whales have to breathe at least five times more carbon monoxide than is found 100 meters from a busy Los Angeles freeway.

Victoria Times Colonist

A whale-watching boat hovers around orcas off Vancouver Island last summer. “That really surprised me — I didn’t think it was going to be that high,” said Lachmuth. “It’s because when you’re out on the water there’s an inversion because the ocean is so cold and in the summer the air is a lot warmer — the CO is sticking right at that interface and it’s not moving vertically at all.” Lance Barrett-Lennard, a senior marine mammal research scientist at the Vancouver Aquarium and Lachmuth’s research supervisor, said: “I remember years ago seeing clusters of fishing

boats on the water on a still summer day and that blue haze all around, from their own exhaust.” The challenge of Lachmuth’s study was to figure out what quantity of pollutants caused difficulties for whales, he said. “[Lachmuth] had to do the work of figuring out what these doses would mean for an animal that doesn’t have sinuses, that can’t filter air, that holds its breath and is substantially larger than humans,” Barrett-Lennard said. Lachmuth found killer whales are more sensitive

to air pollutants than humans and experience toxic effects from as little as 39 per cent of the amount which would be toxic to humans. “For a one-hour exposure to average-case whalewatching conditions, we calculated the southern resident killer whales receive doses of carbon monoxide that are at the threshold of adverse health effects,” the study said. During peak season, the southern resident killer whales are exposed to whale-watching vessels an average 12 hours a day,

Lachmuth noted. One area of study that needs to be explored is the effect of pollutants on whales as they take breaths and dive into depth. “Killer whales experience pressure differences in the lungs while diving that likely . . . influences pollutant uptake,” the study said. “Since the calculated toxicity of carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide do not account for the effects of diving, they may be misleading, and much lower concentrations may actually pose an adverse health threat to killer whales.”

Fish: Perfectly safe to eat, genetics firm says Continued from D1 Andrew Kimbrell, the center’s executive director, said Congress “has to step in to correct the failures of the Obama administration,” which he criticized for allowing the FDA to proceed. “FDA’s decision to go ahead with this approval process is misguided and dangerous for consumers, the environment and our economy,” he said.

Controversial pick But the fish are not without their fans. In November, Time magazine named the genetically engineered salmon as one of the top 50 inventions of 2010, noting that Americans love to eat salmon but wild populations are dwindling.

That prompted a letter to the editor from Democratic Sen. Mark Begich of Alaska, who chided the magazine for its selection. “Want more salmon?” he asked. “Here’s a better idea: Protect its natural habitat, maintain water quality and manage wild stocks for sustainability. “That’s what Alaska has done for over 50 years.” The company that’s seeking FDA approval, AquaBounty Technologies Inc., says the fish are perfectly safe and wouldn’t require labels because they would be indistinguishable from other salmon. Company officials said the eggs from the genetically modified fish included a growth-hormone gene from the Pacific chinook salmon. Fish with the gene grow to

market size in half the time of conventional salmon. “In all other respects, AquAdvantage salmon are identical to other Atlantic salmon,” the company says in a statement on its website. The FDA hasn’t said when it will make a decision, but it has already held a public hearing. FDA officials said it was the first time the agency was considering an application for a genetically engineered animal intended for food use. Genetically modified plants such as corn and soybeans already are grown and consumed in the U.S.

Concern in Alaska The chief sponsors of the bills are Young and Begich, who represent a state where the issue has become particularly potent.

Last month, House of Representatives Democrats from the Alaska state Legislature introduced a resolution that urged the FDA to deny any application to sell genetically modified fish. When Begich introduced his legislation in January, he said the fish were called “Frankenfish” for good reason, calling them “a monster that threatens our wild stocks and their habitat, our food safety and economic harm to Alaska wild salmon fishermen.” Murray, who’s co-sponsoring both bills, called the salmon industry “extremely important to the Northwest, both from an economic standpoint and a cultural standpoint. “And it’s a health issue,” she said. “I do not want to see FDA

rush through a rule that can undermine our economy and this important resource for Washington state — and actually for the world — without very thoughtful, smart decisions,.” Murray and Begich are three of 11 senators who support the legislation, according to the Organic Consumers Association. There are 31 supporters in the U.S. House of Representatives. The 11 senators have written a letter to the FDA complaining that the agency’s review of the genetically modified fish has involved far too little scrutiny. If the FDA approves the fish and Congress doesn’t ban them, Murray said, lawmakers should insist on labeling. “You have a right to know what you’re buying, absolutely,” she said.

COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA

125109795

ST. LOUIS — The price of a drug used to delay birth in women who are at high risk of delivering prematurely is about to go through the roof. The drug has cost about $10 to $20 per injection. Beginning Monday, the price shoots up to $1,500 a dose, meaning the total cost during a pregnancy could be as much as $30,000. That’s because the drug, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone given as a weekly shot, has been made cheaply for years, mixed in special pharmacies that custom-compound treatments that are not federally approved. Since 2003, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has recommended that doctors offer the progesterone shots to high-risk women. But recently, KV Pharmaceutical of suburban St.Louis, won government approval to exclusively sell the drug, known as Makena.

The March of Dimes and many obstetricians supported that because it means quality will be more consistent and it will be easier to get. None of them anticipated the dramatic price hike, though — especially since most of the cost for development and research was shouldered by others in the past. “That’s a huge increase for something that can’t be costing them that much to make — for crying out loud, this is about making money,” said Dr. Roger Snow, deputy medical director for Massachusetts’ Medicaid program. “I’ve never seen anything as outrageous as this,” said Dr. Arnold Cohen, an obstetrician at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia.

Facebook users who are Your name underage raise concerns affects the Parents often go along with online age inflation By Matt Richtel And Miguel Helft SAN FRANCISCO — The fake ID has gone digital, and spread to elementary school. Across the nation, millions of young people are lying about their ages so they can create accounts on popular sites like Facebook and Myspace. These sites require users to be 13 or older, to avoid federal regulations that apply to sites with younger members. But to children, that rule is a minor obstacle that stands between them and what everybody else is doing. Parents regularly go along with the age inflation, giving permission and helping children set up accounts.

children loose in a digital world they may not be prepared for — exposing them to the real-life threats of inappropriate content, contact from strangers and the growing incidents of bullying by computer. “Not only are kids lying about their age, but more often than not, parents teach them to lie about their age,” said Danah Boyd, a social media researcher at Microsoft. Boyd said this ran counter to the goal of getting parents more constructively involved in children’s online activities, which was one aim of the legislation that spawned the age restrictions in the first place. At the same time, the practice is hard to stop, say websites and federal officials.

Besides, she said, she did not realize there were any age restrictions on the site. “It’s not like there’s a legal age limit for being on the Internet,” Flores said.

‘Something random’ Her son Jake said he had told Facebook that he was 15: “I just picked something random.” In one of Jake’s fifthgrade classes at Commodore Sloat Elementary school, 15 of the 30 students said they had Facebook accounts. “And you should see all the third-graders who are on,” said Aundrea Kaune, the class’s teacher. Last year, she went onto Facebook and was shocked by how many students from the school were there. “It’s lying — and about age,” Ms. Kaune said. “What happens when they want to drink beer?”

Studies find emotion, not math, used in spending Peninsula Daily News news services

NEW YORK — If your childhood last name was Zamora or Zimmerman, you are probably a lot quicker to buy something as an adult than if your name was Abbott or Allen. Why? It’s because you may have been emotionally scarred for life in elementary school. That’s just one of the many findings from the halls of academia, which nowadays is researching why consumers behave the way they do instead of assuming they always act in their own best interest. Turns out, we often make illogical decisions with our money based far more on emotion than math and critical thinking. In elementary school, according to findings published in the Journal of Consumer Research, students are often organized alphabetically by surname. As a result, the same kids are always first and front or last and back. That seemingly innocuous routine has enduring effects as those children become adult consumers, researchers found.

recounted a recent incident from his business. In New York State, he said, an 11-year-old boy accepted a friend request on Facebook from a girl in his class. But the girl’s account was fake, and the person behind it began posting images of the boy on sexoriented sites, along with nasty comments.

Bullying When the boy’s images started showing up in Google searches, the school suspected that he had posted them and summoned his parents. Other children began picking on him. “It can be a living nightmare for an 11-year-old who just wanted to hang out with his friends,” Nigam said. In 2006, 31 percent of 12-year-olds in the United States were using social networks, according to the Pew Research Center’s Internet and American Life Project. That figure grew to 38 percent by mid-2009, when the survey was last conducted. ComScore, a firm that measures Internet traffic, estimates that 3.6 million of Facebook’s 153 million monthly visitors in this country are under 12.

Women GIs more likely to divorce By Kimberly Hefling The Associated Press

The New York Times

Amy Ridenour, with her son Jonathan, who is autistic, is stockpiling incandescent bulbs.

Many shun switch from familiar bulbs Incandescents

not fading without fight By Edward Wyatt The New York Times

WASHINGTON — American protests against the encroachment of government have been spurred by many causes — tea, of course, and guns, frequently. The latest catalyst: light bulbs. A 2007 bill, passed overwhelmingly by both houses of Congress and signed into law by George W. Bush, will make the familiar incandescent bulb subject to strict efficiency standards next year. The effect will be to make current 100-watt bulbs obsolete — and that has sent conservative lawmakers, libertarians, some environmental activists and owners of Easy-Bake Ovens into a frenzy of activity to get the law repealed or, at least, to stockpile the bulbs before they disappear from store shelves. “I do care about my carbon footprint, not to mention my light bill,” said Dana Carpender, a cookbook author in Bloomington, Ind. “But unless something dramatic happens to bring down the cost of alternatives, I will be stashing away a pile of incandescents.” The law does not outlaw incandescent bulbs or dictate that consumers must use the spiral-shaped compact fluorescent lights that have become increasingly popular in recent years. Rather, it sets standards for the amount of light emitted per watt of power used. Current 100-watt bulbs must become 25 percent more efficient, and makers are designing new bulbs.

Opponents’ fight back

takes to light one incandescent bulb. Makers of appliances and light bulbs, meanwhile, support the federal standards because they do not want to have to make scores of products to meet individual state regulations. But to many Americans, the 100-watt bulb has become a cause célèbre. Tea Party campaigners have adopted it. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, who introduced a bill to repeal the light bulb law in 2008 and again this year, talked about the issue in her response to the president’s State of the Union message in January. And, last week, Sen. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky said not only did he resent the light bulb standards but he also blamed the government for poorly working toilets in his house because of the regulations on how much water they should use.

Economic impact The light bulb regulations already have affected the American economy. Last fall, General Electric closed its last major United States plant producing the oldstyle incandescent bulbs, in Winchester, Va. Nearly all compact fluorescent bulbs are made in Asia, although some United States manufacturers are retooling former factories to make other energy-efficient bulbs. Several companies in the United States are working on light-emitting diode, or LED, bulbs, and on energyefficient halogen incandescent bulbs, which use a halogen element enclosed in a traditional glass bulb. The Energy Department says the energy savings are significant. Kathleen Hogan, deputy assistant secretary for energy efficiency at the department, told a Senate committee last week that by meeting the new lighting standards, consumers could save nearly $6 billion in 2015. A household that upgrades 15 current incandescent bulbs could save about $50 a year, Hogan said, even after accounting for the higher cost of the fluorescent bulbs, which average above $1 each, versus about 35 cents for incandescent.

Halogen incandescent bulbs now cost about $1.50 each, and LED bulbs, which have only begun to be introduced, can cost $20 or more each, though they can last 10 years or more. Three-way bulbs, appliance bulbs and a few other specialty products are excluded from the new standards.

Storing bulbs All of which serves to convince some people that the government should not dictate light bulb standards. Amy Ridenour, president of the National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative group, said she already had about 100 old-style incandescent light bulbs stored in her basement in Laurel, Md., and she hoped to have several hundred by the time the new standards go into effect on Jan. 1. Ridenour said that she opposed the government interference, but that her hoarding was primarily driven by concerns about the mercury in the compact fluorescent bulbs. Her middle child, a 10-year-old son, is autistic, Ms. Ridenour said. “He’s knocked over quite a few lamps,” she said, and broken plenty of light bulbs in the process. The Environmental Protection Agency issues detailed instructions on how to clean up a broken fluorescent bulb because of the potential for spilling mercury. Each bulb contains about four milligrams of mercury, compared with 500 milligrams in old-style glass thermometers. Nevertheless, the EPA recommends recycling used fluorescent bulbs rather than disposing of them in household garbage. Unknown, so far, is the economic impact of the retooling of the Easy-Bake Oven, the source of an unimaginable number of forced smiles summoned by parents after tasting a child’s cookies and cakes. The oven, a member of the National Toy Hall of Fame, uses a 100-watt bulb as its heat source, so Hasbro must give it a makeover. This fall, it will introduce the new Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven, which will use a different, so far undisclosed, heating element.

To U.S. Rep. Joe Barton, the Texas Republican who has sponsored a bill to reverse the new guidelines, that nevertheless means Congress is dictating what types of light Americans can use in their homes. “From the health insurance you’re allowed to have, to the car you can drive, to the light bulbs you can buy — Washington is making too many decisions that are better left to you and your family,” Barton said when he introduced his bill in January. Opponents of the regulations say the fluorescent bulbs are too expensive, flicker annoyingly and are health hazards because they contain mercury. While they are not unanimous on the issue, some environmental activists counter that by saying the mercury in a single fluorescent bulb is less than what some power plants throw into the atmosphere while generating the electricity it

urrent 100-watt bulbs are becoming obsolete — and that has sent conservative lawmakers, libertarians, some environmental activists and owners of Easy-Bake Ovens into a frenzy.

WASHINGTON — Two failed marriages were the cost of war for Sgt. Jennifer Schobey. The breaking point in her first marriage came when her husband deployed to Afghanistan, the last in a long line of separations they had endured as they juggled two military careers. Schobey married another combat veteran, but eventually that union failed under the weight of two cases of post-traumatic stress disorder — his and hers. They are now getting divorced. Separations. Injuries. Mental health issues. All are added weights to the normal strains of marriage. For women in the military, there’s a cold, hard reality: Their marriages are more than twice as likely to end in divorce as those of their male comrades — and up to three times as likely for enlisted women. About 220,000 women have served in Afghanistan and Iraq in roles ranging from helicopter pilots to police officers. Last year, 7.8 percent of women in the military got a divorce, compared with 3 percent of military men, according to Pentagon statistics. Among the military’s enlisted corps, meaning they aren’t commissioned officers, nearly 9 percent of women saw their marriages end, compared with a little more than 3 percent of the men. Research indicates that military women also get divorced at higher rates than their peers outside the military, while military men divorce at lower rates than their peers, according to a journal article pub-

Tot’s constant ‘why?’ driving parents crazy WE HAVE A toddler who asks about everything, which is great. However, once we answer his questions, he keeps asking, “Why?” It can drive us nuts and lead to exhaustion and almost always ends with anger and frustration on both parts. How can we get him to stop asking, “Why?” after we’ve explained things more than once already?

toddler, attention is focused on him by looking at him at his eye level. For example, bending or sitting down where your eyes meet, gets the best results for direct interaction. Most of all, be sure to actively listen to him when he talks. This helps him to feel important, appreciated and builds his self-esteem. Going that little extra mile in giving him that one-on-one attention will help him gain the self-confidence, acceptance and love he needs at this time to grow into a healthy adult.

love to hear things repeated. Even if the older ones recognize and basically understand what is going on and what has been said, it’s a natural reaction to simply hear it repeated. Parents can find this process tedious, but your toddler finds comfort and much needed consistency in the repetition. It gets better as toddlers, and preschoolers, get older, especially if the time, effort and patience has been put into allowing them to be heard and included in everyday conversations and occurrences.

and I accepted him as my own son even though I wasn’t ready to be a father. “I gave her an engagement ring and other diamond jewelry,” he said. “We fought verbally like all couples, but we loved each other through hard times.” But not everything was great. Isabelle liked going to the clubs with her friends and sisters. She wouldn’t get home till the early morning. “She said after her moonlighting gig as a bartender, she needed to unwind,” Andrew said. “Love is blind, and I didn’t even see the brick coming at me.” After nine years together — Bill Clinton was now president — Andrew asked Isabelle to marry him. He proposed in the same restaurant where they had first met. She turned him down.

Six years later — George W. Bush was in the White House — she told Andrew she’d like to “‘take a rest from family life, drive away and not turn back.’ I always thought she was kidding.” Meanwhile, Andrew kept pressing Isabelle to marry him. “I was told, ‘I’m not ready,’” he said. During their 18th year together, Isabella started hanging out with some old friends. “They were drug dealers, drug users or gang bangers,” Andrew said. “She wanted me to go with her.

This week’s question: What is the best child-rearing advice you have ever been given?

“Listen, love and laugh. “Listen to what your kids are saying. Love them unconditionally. And laugh with them rather than at them. “Listen and pay attention when they come home with stories. “Once my son got in trouble, but by listening, we were able to solve the problem — even laughed about it later.” Lynn Watts, 62 fast food restaurant owner Port Angeles

“Have patience. “Friends and family have told me this is the best way to work with young kids. Don’t let the small things get to you, too. “I have three kids down to age 4. Patience has been a real test lately with potty training being an issue. My 4-year-old was pretty much trained until one day she decided not to be. It takes patience in situations like this.”

“I was told by many to [follow] through in what you say to your child in discipline situations. “My son is 2, and if he’s in trouble, he’s sent to his room and can’t come out until he’s done crying. He understands. Problems arise when I fail to follow through, so I need to be consistent. If I don’t, he thinks he could get away with anything. It’s real tough sometimes.”

Man’s female fan club miffs girlfriend DEAR JOHN: MY boyfriend and I have been dating for four months. All of Jack’s friends are female, and he remains friendly with his old girlfriends. Although his decade-long marriage broke up over this, he doesn’t see anything wrong. He says it’s purely friendship, and he would not sexually cheat with any of them. At the same time, when I suggested he introduce me to one of these women, he said, “That’s my stomping ground,” as if it would be an intrusion. He also said that when I act suspicious I remind him of how his ex-wife would accuse him of having a secret life. I’m guessing she just felt left out. Last night, Jack told me he loves me, but he can’t understand why women get so upset he has female “acquaintances.” I just wonder why I cannot be included in these “get-togethers.” — More Than a Little Nervous in Huntsville, Ala. Dear Nervous: Jack’s a pretty smart guy. He makes women feel both desirable and comfortable with him, which in turn makes him appreciated and desired by them — something every man strives for, but very few men accomplish. By being the only man in a group of women, he has no competition, which showcases his ability to appear both caring and empathetic. This is all great for Jack, as long as he wants to play the field. If and when he eventually

Brown learned two weeks ago that the Ugandan solicitor general has agreed to fund the remainder of the $35,000 cost of the project through the country’s Rural Electricity Program. “We are making history in Uganda,” Brown said of her Sequim foundation’s partnership with that country’s government. As she rejoices over this progress, Brown is looking forward to the second

annual Gateway, this Saturday evening at 7 Cedars Casino’s Club Seven. Tickets, at $75 per person including dinner, are available at Tender Touches, 545 Eureka Way. Proceeds from the evening will be split between the fund for Ugandan students and the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula.
