SEDRO-WOOLLEY — Richard G. Rector of Sequim died Tuesday when he was run over by the log truck he was operating east of SedroWoolley, the State Patrol said.

Rector, 56, got out of the truck before dawn to check on a possible brake problem when the fully loaded rig broke loose and rolled forward, dragging him underneath it, troopers said.

He died at the scene.

“We think he was messing with the brakes,” said Trooper Mark Francis, State Patrol spokesman.

Documentary on Lopez tour to air on HBO JENNIFER LOPEZ DECIDED to hit the road after her split from singer Marc Anthony two years ago.

She went on her first world tour, visiting 65 cities on five continents and reaching 1 million fans.

If you didn’t get to see the tour in person, you can catch it on HBO on New Year’s Eve. “Jennifer Lopez: Dance Again,” premiering on HBO and HBO Latino (9 tonight), includes performances and behind-the-scenes footage from the tour.

“I had just gotten divorced, was a single mom for the first time [and] decided to go tour the world,” Lopez said in a recent interview.

The 45-year-old singeractress said she realized the show was more than musical numbers; it was a mirror of her life.

“Looking at all my music and putting this show together and seeing, ‘Who was I as a person? As an artist? What did I want to say with this show?’ . . . It was self-reflective,” she said.

Jessie Schmidt, a publicist for the Opry, said in a news release Sunday that Dickens was admitted to a Nashville-area hospital Dec. 25 and that he’s in

His last performance at the Opry was Dec. 20 as part of his birthday Dickens celebration.

He turned 94 a day earlier.

Dickens, who is 4-foot11, has performed on the Opry almost continuously since 1948.

He became an Opry member in 1948 and was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1983.

His hits include “Take An Old Cold Tater (And Wait),” “Out Behind The Barn,” and “May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose.”

WILLIAM P. GERBERDING, 85, the longest-serving president of the University of Washington, died Saturday, according to university spokesman Victor Balta.

Dr. Gerberding was president of the university from 1979 until he retired in 1995.

The 27th UW president is credited with pushing the university into national prominence.

During Dr. Gerberding’s time at the university, about 125,000 students graduated, four Nobel Dr. Prizes were Gerberding awarded to faculty; several new buildings were constructed; and he led a record-breaking, $284 million fundraising

effort.

Before Washington, Dr. Gerberding worked as a professor at Colgate University in Hamilton, N.Y., and then at University of California, Los Angeles, before becoming vice president of academic affairs at Occidental College in 1972.

In 1975, he became vice chancellor at UCLA, and in 1978 moved on to become chancellor at the University of Illinois.

1939 (75 years ago) The looting of the Clallam County treasury was the sixth most outstanding story of 1939 statewide as determined by The Associated Press.

To recap: A few hours before County Treasurer Walter A. Baar was to turn over the keys of office to his successor Jan. 9, his courthouse safe was found looted.

A few days later, Baar pleaded guilty to grand larceny and was given a maximum 15-year term in the state penitentiary in Walla Walla.

He subsequently confessed defalcations and loans to fellow county employees worth a total of $80,000.

As a result, 10 other people — including state Auditor Cliff Yelle, who was

charged with nonfeasance in office for failing to audit the county’s books — were arrested.

Baar later pleaded guilty to additional counts and was sentenced to more prison time.

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS for Wednesday, December 31, 2014 P A G E

A3 Briefly: Nation GOP leader says he regrets talk to supremacists WASHINGTON — House Republican leaders rallied around one of their own, Whip Steve Scalise, on Tuesday after he said he regrets speaking 12 years ago to a white supremacist organization and condemns the views of such groups.

Scalise said that as a state legislator in 2002, he spoke to many groups about a major tax issue.

“One of the many groups that I spoke to Scalise regarding this critical legislation was a group whose views I wholeheartedly condemn,” he said in a statement Tuesday.

Republican leaders defended Scalise within minutes.

House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio said Scalise “made an error in judgment, and he was right to acknowledge it was wrong and inappropriate.”

Scalise acknowledged speaking at a 2002 Louisiana convention of the European-American Unity and Rights Organization, which called itself EURO. Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke founded the group, which the Southern Poverty Law Center has classified as a hate group.

Congressman resigns WASHINGTON — Potential

candidates eyed a Staten Island congressional seat Tuesday as Republican Rep. Michael Grimm announced his resignation following a guilty plea on tax evasion charges.

Among the possible candidates is a Staten Island prosecutor who oversaw a case in which a white New York City police officer was cleared in the death of a black man in an apparent chokehold.

Two state lawmakers and a former congressman who was unseated by Grimm could also be interested in the open seat.

Grimm, a New York Republican, had vowed to stay in Congress as long as he could, even after his guilty plea last week.

But he said Monday night that he plans to resign effective Jan. 5.

Child shoots, kills mom HAYDEN, Idaho — Authorities said a 2-year-old boy accidentally shot and killed his mother after he reached into her purse at a northern Idaho WalMart and her concealed gun fired.

The woman was shopping with several children Tuesday morning.

Kootenai County sheriff’s spokesman Stu Miller confirms to The Associated Press that the victim was the boy’s mother.

The woman’s identity has not been released. Officials said she had a concealed weapons permit.

Miller said the shooting was accidental. It occurred in the Wal-Mart in Hayden, Idaho, about 40 miles northeast of Spokane.

Briefly: World Prosecutors call Greek ferry back to Italy for probe BRINDISI, Italy — Italian prosecutors Tuesday ordered a crippled Greek ferry back to Italy for a criminal investigation, saying they feared more bodies will be found given the probable presence of stowaways and huge discrepancies in the names on the manifest and those rescued.

The fire-tinged Norman Atlantic was adrift for a third day off the Albanian coast, where two sailors were killed earlier Tuesday when a tow line attempting to secure it to a tugboat apparently snapped, Albanian officials said.

The Italian coast guard said another body from the ferry was found Tuesday, bringing the death toll to at least 11.

Protest in Moscow MOSCOW — President Vladimir Putin’s chief political foe was convicted along with his brother Tuesday in a fraud case widely seen as a political vendetta by the Kremlin, triggering one of Russia’s boldest anti-government demonstrations in years.

Police allowed a few thousand protesters to gather just outside Red Square for about two hours — a show of relative restraint for Russian authori-

ties, who have little tolerance for dissent — before moving in to break up the rally by pushing the demonstrators toward subway entrances. Navalny The rally came hours after anti-corruption campaigner Alexei Navalny was found guilty of what activists said were trumped-up charges and given a suspended sentence of 3½ years. His younger brother was sent to prison, a move that drew comparisons to the Stalin-era practice of punishing family members of enemies of the state.

U.N. rejects resolution UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. Security Council rejected a Palestinian resolution demanding an end to Israeli occupation within three years late Tuesday, a blow to efforts to get the U.N.’s most powerful body to take action to recognize an independent state of Palestine.

The United States, Israel’s closest ally, had made clear its opposition to the draft resolution and would have used its veto if necessary.

But it didn’t have to because the resolution failed to get the minimum nine “yes” votes required for adoption by the 15-member council.

Searchers find debris, bodies from airliner AirAsia jet is thought to be on sea bottom

BY DEWI NURCAHYANI ROBIN MCDOWELL

AND

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PANGKALAN BUN, Indonesia — The first proof of the fate of AirAsia Flight 8501 emerged Tuesday from the shallow, aquacolored waters of the Java Sea, confirming that the plane crashed with 162 people aboard in an area not far from where it dropped off radar screens.

Two days after the jet vanished, searchers found as many as six bodies and debris that included a life jacket, an emergency exit door and a suitcase about 10 miles from the plane’s last known coordinates.

The airliner’s disappearance halfway through a two-hour flight between Surabaya, Indonesia, and Singapore triggered an international hunt for the aircraft

involving dozens of planes, ships and helicopters. It is still unclear what brought the plane down.

Images of the debris and a bloated body shown on Indonesian television sent a spasm of anguish through the room at the Surabaya airport where relatives awaited news.

The first sign of the jet turned up about 10 miles from its last known coordinates.

Unscathed luggage Parts of the interior, including the oxygen tank, were brought to the nearest town, Pangkalan Bun. Another find included a bright blue plastic suitcase, completely unscratched.

“I know the plane has crashed, but I cannot believe my brother and his family are dead,” said Ifan Joko, who lost seven relatives, three of them children, as they traveled to Singapore to ring in the new year. “We still pray they are alive.”

First Adm. Sigit Setiayanta, commander of the Naval Aviation Center at Surabaya Air Force base, told reporters six corpses

were spotted about 100 miles from Central Kalimantan province.

Rescue workers descended on ropes from a hovering helicopter to retrieve bodies.

Efforts were hindered by 6-foot waves and strong winds, National Search and Rescue Director SB Supriyadi said.

The first body was later picked up by a navy ship.

Officials said as many as six others followed, but they disagreed about the exact number.

Supriyadi was on the aircraft and saw what appeared to be more wreckage under the water, which was clear and a relatively shallow 65 to 100 feet.

When TV broadcast an image of a half-naked man floating in the water, a shirt partially covering his head, many of the family members screamed and wailed uncontrollably. One middle-aged man collapsed and had to be carried out on a stretcher.

Their horror was captured by cameras on the other side of windows into the waiting room. Officials blacked out the glass later Tuesday evening.

Report: Police gun deaths up, but still below historic highs

BY AMANDA LEE MYERS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The number of law enforcement officers killed by firearms jumped by 56 percent this year and included 15 ambush deaths.

But gun-related police deaths still remain far below historic highs and lower than the average annual figures in the past decade, according to a report released Tuesday.

The annual report by the nonprofit National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund found that 50 officers were killed by guns this year.

That’s higher than the 32 such deaths last year but the same as

Quick Read

2012 figures.

In 2011, 73 officers were killed in gunfire, the most in any year in the past decade. The average since 2004 is 55 police deaths annually.

In all, the report found that 126 federal, local, tribal and territorial officers were killed in the line of duty in 2014.

That’s a 24 percent jump from last year’s 102 on-duty deaths, though below the average annual figures since 2004 and the alltime high of 156 in 1973, said Steve Groeninger, a spokesman for the memorial fund.

Of the 126 officer deaths this year, shootings were the leading cause, followed by traffic-related

fatalities, at 49.

This year’s increase in gunrelated deaths among officers followed a dramatic dip in 2013, when the figure fell to levels not seen since the 19th century.

Spike in tension This year’s uptick comes amid increased tension between police and the public following the highprofile deaths of unarmed black men by white police officers, including those of Eric Garner in New York and Mike Brown in Ferguson, Mo. The states that saw the most officer deaths were California at 14; Texas at 11; and New York at nine.

A FATHER WHOSE four young sons could communicate only in grunts when authorities rescued them from a filthy Denver apartment was sentenced to five years in prison Tuesday after pleading guilty to his second offense of child abuse.

Wayne Sperling, 67, told Judge J. Eric Elliff to do “whatever you feel is right” when given a chance to speak before he was sentenced.

Authorities said Sperling, his wife, Lorinda Bailey, and the boys lived in an apartment filled with cat feces and flies.

Bailey was sentenced to 90 days in jail and five years of probation last month.

POLICE IN NORTHERN California shot and killed a wild coyote after it bit a man and a child and tried to attack a third person in separate attacks in residential neighborhoods on Christmas.

Tests on the coyote were returned Tuesday, and the animal did not have rabies, said Fremont police spokeswoman Officer Geneva Bosques.

As a precaution, the victims are being treated for rabies, Bosques said.

Police shot and killed the animal after it bit the 42-year-old man and the 5-year-old boy on separate streets nearly a mile apart Thursday, Bosques said.

NEW YORK CITY’S police unions are saying “only time will tell” if relations can be improved with Mayor Bill de Blasio in the wake of rancor brewed over the shooting deaths of two police officers and City Hall’s response to protests over police conduct.

De Blasio, Police Commissioner William Bratton and union leaders met privately for two hours Tuesday afternoon.

A rift between de Blasio and much of the New York Police Department’s rank and file has widened.

Union leaders have said the mayor fostered an anti-NYPD atmosphere that contributed to the officers’ deaths.

NINE PEOPLE, INCLUDING seven adults and two young children, were found dead at three separate Alberta crime scenes in what Edmonton’s police chief Tuesday called the city’s worst mass murder.

Chief Rod Knecht told a news conference the killings were the result of domestic violence.

None of the victims was identified, but Knecht said the public was not in danger.

“It is a tragic day for Edmonton,” he said. “This series of events are not believed to be random acts. . . . These events do not appear to be gangrelated, but rather tragic incidents.”

NEW YEAR’S EVE

OLYMPIA — The chief justice of the state Supreme Court will not give the traditional speech to the state Legislature when the session convenes next month.

Lawmakers decided not to invite Chief Justice Barbara Madsen to speak, citing conflicts with the legislative calendar and poor attendance at such speeches in the past.

The move could be seen as a slap at the court for finding the Legislature in contempt in a school funding case, The Olympian reported Tuesday.

Lawmakers say that’s not the reason.

“I hope that, in the future, the Supreme Court will again be invited to make this important presentation.”

The court found lawmakers in contempt this year when they failed to come up with a courtordered funding plan for public schools. Justices are postponing sanctions until after the 2015 session.

The Senate Facilities and Operations Committee voiced concerns about the speech last month.

rible waste of time,” said Sen. Don Benton, R-Vancouver.

“Most members don’t get much out of it,” he added.

“Most members don’t even bother attending.”

No one objected to skipping the speech in 2015.

The House leadership came to a similar conclusion.

House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan, D-Covington, met with Madsen the week before Christmas to explain that no offense was intended.

“I made clear we have no interest in legislation that ‘Waste of time’ is meant to punish the “To be honest with you, courts or hold them in any most people think it’s a hor- disregard,” he said.

Attendance at the 21st annual Mystery Bay Polar Bear Plunge on Thursday will depend on the temperature — whether it’s cold or even colder.

“The water is always cold but when it’s windy it’s worse,” said Nordland General Store owner Tom Rose, who began and organizes the event.

People will start gathering at the beach across from the store 7180 Flagler Road at about 11 a.m. with the plunge commencing at noon.

Attendance ranges from 100 to 200 people each year although accurate numbers aren’t always available.

Depending on the crowd, the whole thing could be

over in about 20 minutes.

Rose has participated in every plunge except for last year which he sat it out because of his health.

He has not decided whether or not to participate this year, he said on Tuesday.

The number of jumpers is often exceeded by onlookers.

Nordland Store employee John Malcomson will be on hand to serve beer and coffee and stagemanage the musicians, who will be playing from the store’s porch throughout the event.

Malcomson said there is a safety net for participants in that personnel from East Jefferson Fire Rescue, the Coast Guard and Vessel Assist usually attend, “although we have been lucky and there has never been any trouble,” he said.

Attendees can park along Flagler Road although they may have to walk a short distance to get to the action.

New chairman takes helm of Jefferson Republican Party

BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT TOWNSEND — After failing to field any countywide candidates in 2014 the Jefferson County Republican Party has emerged with a new chairman, a moderate message and the intention to offer an alternative to the county’s overwhelming Democratic majority.

“It’s no secret that in Jefferson County that the Democratic Party is dominant,” said Steve Crosby, who was elected to a twoyear term as the party’s new chair earlier this month.

“But there needs to be checks and balances, even in a community like ours, and the Republican Party has a role to play, although I don’t know what the next two years have in store for me.”

Crosby succeeds Gene Farr, who retired for health reasons.

Navy proposal Along with Crosby’s election, the Republicans passed a resolution in favor of allowing the Navy to increase the number of Growler jets that fly over the Olympic Peninsula.

“Never let it be said that even one aviator or soldier died because we as a com-

Steve Crosby GOP “has a role to play” munity have forgotten our priorities and that is to give America’s sons and daughters every opportunity to train for their military missions,” the resolution states.

“Politicians from Scoop Jackson to Norm Dicks to Gary Locke have gotten elected based on the fact they were the ones who made the Navy welcome here and brought all of this prosperity.” Crosby said.

“The mission hasn’t changed. We’re getting the same noise and the same activity we’ve always had, but there are more people here who are more sensitive to it.”

Crosby, 67, has lived in Port Townsend for 22 years,

working as an insurance salesman and a 9-1-1 dispatcher prior to retiring in 2012.

He hasn’t always been a Republican, he said. When he moved to Port Townsend, he was “more of a moderate swing voter” who voted for candidates of both parties.

“I’ve noticed that the Democrats have moved farther and farther to the left and call themselves progressives,” Crosby said.

“I really don’t go with the progressive agenda. I think of myself as more of a classical liberal — I go with tradition. But when we get new information, we need to change.”

Crosby was elected unanimously at a meeting with 12 people in attendance.

There were so few “because no one wanted to be roped in as chairman,” he said.

He estimates the county party membership at about 1,000 people.

Tea party “This is probably going to be a dirty word in Port Townsend, but I was inspired by the tea party movement,” Crosby said.

“It’s not that different from Occupy Wall Street because people wanted to have a certain populism.

“I think people want less of the political machine and more individual involvement, and there’s a frustration on the side of the public where they don’t feel the government is listening.”

Crosby said that many of this year’s Jefferson County candidates who might have run as Republicans in the

past ran as independents, County Commissioner candidates Joe Baisch, Andy Borgeson and Dan Toepper, who ran in the general election, were all unaffiliated as was sheriff’s candidate, Ken Przygocki, who was defeated in the primary.

Newly elected Jefferson County Sheriff David Stanko ran as a Democrat but did so reluctantly and has changed his party affiliation to independent.

Crosby said it will take some effort to elect a Republican in Jefferson County, but the party has resolved to find local candidates who reflect a different view.

Dems dominate “The Democrat party is dominant, and I don’t see that changing in the next generation,” he said.

“But we are here for them. There needs to be moderate voices in opposition even if it will be hard to beat them in an election.”

While a lot of county functions are state-mandated, Crosby said people should seek greater local control.

“We need a county government that is fiscally responsible and has more local control,” Crosby said.

“The mantra around here is to buy local, and everyone wants local vegetables, but why aren’t they pushing for a local government that makes local decisions?”

City of Sequim finds buyers for utility bonds PENINSULA DAILY NEWS SEQUIM — The city

of Sequim will receive $3.3 million from the sale of water and sewer utility bonds that will help fund its new Civic Center and Community Plaza.

The sale was held Dec. 18 and finalized Tuesday.

Interest on the bonds will range from 3 percent to 4 percent — or about $230,000 — that will be paid by water and sewer utilities starting Jan. 1. The bonds will mature in 20 years.

City Manager Steve Burkett cited the city’s A+ rating by Standard and Poor’s for its ability to sell the bonds.

“The high credit rating contributed to the successful sale of the bonds, allowing the city to take advantage of record low interest rates to finance this portion of the Civic Center facility

and still keep our utility fund balances at very healthy levels,” he said.

The Sequim City Council had approved the sale of the bonds late last year.

The new 33,000-square-foot Civic Center will include a police station and city offices when it is finished sometime mid-2015.

Paved plaza Earlier this month, the City Council approved spending $530,000 more to create a paved Community Plaza next to the new building at North Sequim Avenue and Cedar Street.

Council members approved an additional $50,000 for public art — yet to be selected — for the interior of the center that will bring the Police Department and municipal offices under one roof.

Makah poet draws listeners in with work

PORT ANGELES — Speaking in a soft voice that made his listeners lean in, poet John Pritchard III explored difficult topics — and by the end of his recitation, brought his audience out into the daylight.

Pritchard, a member of the Makah tribe and a Peninsula College student, held attendees rapt in his solo reading from his new book WOLF: We Only Love Freedom, at the Elwha Klallam Heritage Center on Monday night.

“Take your dreams and make that your heartbeat,” Pritchard writes in WOLF’s introductory poem. He repeated this like a chant.

Then, in another piece titled “Hundred Years,” he spoke of his people: “We survived being on the brink of extinction . . .

He’s been accepted to the study-abroad program in Florence, Italy, this spring and must raise the $10,000 to cover its costs by early February.

PORT ANGELES — First Federal officials will make no comment until next week about the results of a first-time stock offering and vote on a proposed conversion from a mutual to stock form of organization.

The Port Angeles-based institution offered more than 10.5 million shares of First Federal stock last month.

Although the initial offering closed Dec. 16, depositors and certain borrowers are still voting on the conversion of 91-yearold First Federal from a mutual form of organization, or depositor-owned, savings and loan to a bank owned by stockholders.

Before any of the purchased stock can be delivered, a majority vote of depositors and borrowers must approve the conversion.

The results of the stock sale and vote will be announced in a special meeting of members — those who bank with First Federal — at 10 a.m. Tuesday at the Port Angeles Red Lion Hotel.

It is not a public meeting, said First Federal President and CEO Larry Hueth. It is open to all members.

The minimum amount of stock that First Federal had to sell by Dec. 16 was 7,820,000 shares at $10

per share.

If the stock was popular, the number could have increased from 10,580,000 to 12,167,000, the maximum the bank could offer, according to state and federal regulations.

Mum on stock sales To keep from influencing sales, bank officials have said they are prohibited from making any comment about how the stock was selling.

Hueth declined to comment Monday.

Nearly 25,000 voting member proxy cards, which represent about 42,000 First Federal accounts, were mailed by First Northwest Bancorp, the holding company for First Federal, in late November along with order forms and a prospectus on the stock.

If the conversion is approved, stock would go to purchasers shortly after Jan. 6, with depositors of First Federal who have had qualifying accounts since March 2011 first in line.

Second would be First Fed’s employee stock ownership plan.

Third in priority would be First Fed depositors with accounts opened between April 1, 2011, and Sept. 30, 2014.

Fourth in line would be other depositors and borrowers of First Fed as of Nov. 10, 2014.

261461 HWY. 101 WEST, SEQUIM (360) 683-8003 • WWW.SUNNYFARMS.COM EVERY DAY 8 A.M. - 8 P.M.

Any stock left would be sold to others in a community offering.

The stock would then be publicly traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “FNBC.” Money paid for stock would be refunded if the conversion is not approved.

Community foundation In addition to the conversion, voters are also being asked to approve the funding of a new First Federal community foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit which would give money to charities and other local community groups.

Votes will be taken up to the beginning of the Tuesday meeting or, if voting online, until 2 p.m. Monday.

First Federal, which had assets of more than $795 million as of June 30, stands to gain $78 million to more than $100 million from its stock offering.

“The capital that will be raised will benefit the local economy, the bank and the community in total” by allowing the bank to expand its deposit and lending efforts, Hueth has said.

First Federal, which began in 1923, has branches in Port Angeles, Sequim, Port Townsend, Forks and Silverdale, plus a lending center in Bellingham.

It has almost 180 employees.

The Sunny Farms family reflects on 2014 and we are grateful for the successes afforded us by our wonderful customers and hard-working employees. We look forward to 2015 and hope you all have a safe and

SHINE — A Chimacum man was in satisfactory condition at a Seattle hospital Tuesday after a collision near the west entrance to the Hood Canal Bridge on Monday with a van containing 10 people, eight of them children.

Nicklaus L. Katsikapes, 22, driver of a 1990 Subaru Legacy involved in the wreck, was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he was listed in satisfactory condition Tuesday.

His passenger, Kristin N. Louthan, 19, also of Chimacum, was treated and discharged from Jefferson Healthcare hospital, a spokeswoman said.

Troopers said the Subaru driven by Katsikapes pulled out onto Highway 104 from Paradise Bay Road when a westbound vehicle was coming off the bridge and turning right onto the road.

Center of 104

A state Department of Transportation webcam stationed on the Hood Canal Bridge showed traffic backed up on the bridge onto the Kitsap County mainland from the time of the 4:30 p.m. collision until close to 7 p.m.

All available units Firefighters and emergency medical technicians responded from Port Ludlow Fire & Rescue, Poulsbo Fire Department, Quilcene Fire & Rescue, Discovery Bay and East Jefferson Fire-Rescue.

Because of the large number of people involved in the wreck, assistance was sought from all rescue units available, said Port Ludlow Fire Chief Brad Martin.

After the vehicle turned, the westbound van driven

by Hill and the Subaru collided in the center of Highway 104, troopers said.

Both drivers and all passengers involved were using seat restraints, troopers said.

Nothing to his New Year’s resolution

BY NOW, I THINK we’ve all had it up to here with know-it-alldrive-by-lap-dog-cookie-cutter newspaper columnists preaching imaginary New Year’s resolutions they have no intention of keeping themselves.

For example, during the past Pat year I had Neal resolved to write good.

It must have been the eggnog talking.

The most important thing to remember about New Year’s resolutions is to avoid unrealistic expectations.

The lower your expectations, the more likely you’ll keep your New Year’s resolutions.

The secret of making and keeping resolutions is to focus on the little things you can do to

make your life better and allow you to reach your full potential.

Experts tell us that helping others, learning new things and getting organized are popular New Year’s resolutions.

Helping others is often futile.

Some people won’t let you help them help themselves, and others are beyond help.

Helping others can make you feel used.

Learning new things is pointless, since the more you know, the more there is to know.

Learning new things can make you feel stupid. Take it from me: Ignorance really is bliss.

Getting organized is another popular New Year’s resolution, but it’s really just another pointless exercise.

These days, you can just throw the junk in a pile and get your own reality TV show.

Ditto the rest of my lame New Year’s resolutions for 2014: ■ I was going to fish more.

■ I was going to clean out my

tackle box (after I found it).

■ I was going to catch a 40-pound steelhead, patch my leaky rubber boot collection and learn to speak Canadian, eh?

■ And translate our fishing laws into English.

In fact, I only accomplished one of my 2014 resolutions.

But it might have been more important than all the others put together.

It was a deciding factor in making my one New Year’s resolution for 2015.

Carrying out this 2014 resolution has been fun, cheap and easy.

It’s been something you can do alone or with another person.

You can probably get away with doing it at work as long as the boss doesn’t find out about it.

It’s good for you, and we all need a lot more of it: This year, I got more sleep.

Getting more sleep fits nicely with my New Year’s resolution for 2015:

This year, I am going to do nothing.

Archaeological studies have shown that doing nothing is a distinctively human trait that separates us from the animal kingdom.

In prehistoric times, early man did nothing to increase his use of leisure time, which was a prerequisite for the development of civilization.

The whole point of civilization was to allow some people to do nothing.

Scientists are only now discovering the health benefits of doing nothing.

Studies have shown you can do nothing to lower your heart rate, respiration and blood pressure.

Doing nothing indoors is a good way to avoid exposure to the sun’s harmful rays.

Doing nothing may be the best course of action we have to combat climate change.

Doing nothing can decrease the size of your carbon footprint.

It does not require energy which makes doing nothing an affordable, sustainable, environmentally responsible activity the whole family can enjoy.

Even better, our politicians haven’t dreamed up a permit for doing nothing yet.

Don’t give them any ideas.

Given the sluggish state of our economy, you probably don’t have the money to actually accomplish any of your New Year’s resolutions.

That’s OK, because no matter how bad things get, you are never too broke to do nothing.

If you do nothing else this year, join the millions of others who are already doing nothing.

There’s nothing like it!

SEQUIM — Handel with Care had stiff competition Sunday: the Seattle Seahawks game.

But that didn’t dampen the turnout, the donations or the team spirit at this annual sing-along “Messiah” in Sequim.

Conductor Dewey Ehling and his orchestra of musicians from across Clallam and Jefferson counties played for a full Trinity United Methodist Church sanctuary, and gathered an unprecedented sum for Sequim Community Aid, the charity providing help to struggling Sequim residents.

Musicians from across the North Olympic Peninsula played in Handel with Care, Sunday’s sing-along “Messiah” in Sequim. $1,000 in the donation basket,” marveled Shirley Anderson, an organizer of Handel with Care since its beginning in 2001.

Sunday’s collection reached $2,413, she noted.

Then, as in previous years, an anonymous supporter of the event matched it for a total of $4,826, the largest-ever Handel with Care intake for Sequim Community Aid.

Rich music

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

The music was rich as well, Anderson added, with nine soloists and a congregation of about 200 singers from surrounding communities.

Ehling rehearses with the Handel with Care orchestra just once, about two hours before show time.

Then the audience arrives, picks up “Messiah” scores and commences singing shortly after 3 p.m.

Ehling, 86, led them all through 20 parts of the “Messiah” oratorio, from “Comfort Ye My People” to “His Yoke Is Easy,” and that was just the first half.

After intermission came songs including “Lift up Your Heads, O Ye Gates,” “The Lord Gave the Word,” “Why Do the Nations So Furiously Rage” with a solo

by Nicholas Fritschler, an 18-year-old Port Angeles High School student.

Next Ehling invited pianist Gary McRoberts up to the podium. Introducing his dear friend, Ehling handed over his baton, and McRoberts proceeded to conduct the “Hallelujah” chorus.

As the church filled with voices, Ehling looked out, smiled, and sang along.

“He had no idea I was going to do that,” the maestro said when McRoberts finished.

“Thank you, Gary.”

McRoberts, 73, recently led the Sequim Community Christmas Chorus in concert, and has a doctorate in conducting.

But it was “a complete surprise,” he said, when Ehling asked him up.

He’d planned on being the accompanist only, since the regular pianist, Pat

Marcy, is recovering from eye surgery.

This was the first time he’d played a full-length “Messiah,” and yes, it was a workout.

Sunday’s soloists, in addition to Fritschler, included Milton Patrie, Vicki Helwick, Annika Morgan, Debra and Jessica Reid, Dalton and Taylor Ackley and Esther Morgan-Ellis.

Anderson gave thanks for those who came to make music — and generate support for Sequim Community Aid — on Sunday.

Many return year after year, she added, because of Ehling’s dedication, despite ill health.

“He is the surely one of the kindest, most gentle people I know.” The maestro, along with the orchestra, the soloists and those who came to sing and listen, “are the true gifts to this community.”

INSULATE WATER HEATERS

LOWER THE THERMOSTAT

Thirty percent of greenhouse gases are produced by heating or cooling homes. Lowering the temperature by just one degree can cut your heating bill by up to 5 percent.

If your water heater is hot to the touch, covering it with an insulation blanket will reduce hot water costs by 9 percent.

CHANGE LIGHT BULBS

Switching the way you light your home will save money and energy. A compact fluorescent light bulb uses 66 percent less electricity than an incandescent light bulb and lasts ten times longer.

The average North American family uses 1,000 plastic bags every year, 80 percent of which come from food stores. Taking your own bags considerably reduces the amount of disposable bags used.

Five tales from the PGA Tour

BY DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jim Mahoney parted with a tiny piece of U.S. Open history with hopes it could change Phil Mickelson’s luck.

It was a broken tee in a plastic bag.

“A souvenir that money can’t buy,” Mahoney said in a telephone interview from his home in Connecticut.

Mahoney brought the tee to the Deutsche Bank Championship, along with a letter explaining the circumstances around it.

This was the last tee Mickelson used at Winged Foot in the 2006 U.S. Open. His drive sailed far to the left on the 18th hole, like so many of his tee shots that Sunday, and caromed off a tent.

From there, Lefty made double bogey and finished one shot behind.

The U.S. Open remains the only major keeping him from the career Grand Slam. Winged Foot haunts him more than his other five runnerup finishes.

Tee’s bad history “I was on the tee at Winged Foot, me and a friend of mine,” Mahoney said. “Phil got out his driver and was bouncing the ball off the face.

“Phil looked over to the 17th green and there’s a scoreboard. It showed that [Colin] Montgomerie had just double bogeyed the 18th.

His whole demeanor changed. But he hits this horrendous slice.”

Thousands of fans who had crowded around the tee box took off down the sides of the fairway.

Mahoney and his friend walked across the teeing ground.

“We’re the only ones there. The marshals gave up,” he said. “They were the last group to hit. And there’s Phil’s tee.”

Even after it was over, Mahoney’s said his friends told him he should put the tee on a plaque.

Instead, he stored it in a drawer.

He wanted Mickelson to win that day, as did half of New York. He roots for him at every major.

And that’s why he thought it might help to give it back.

Mahoney approached Mickelson’s caddie during the pro-am at the Deutsche Bank Championship in September. He simply handed him an envelope that contained the broken tee and the letter.

“I will trade the tee for a photoop,” said the letter, addressed to Mickelson and Jim “Bones” MacKay. “You can make peace with it and win the Open in 2015. Good luck.”

MacKay was looking for Mahoney after the round for the photo. He never found him.

Moments like these give tournament golf its texture, stories that go beyond numbers on a scorecard and trophies on a mantle. Here are more from this year’s collection of “Tales from the Tour.”

For the kids Rory McIlroy had a long day at The Players Championship, and it wasn’t over when he signed his card.

There was an interview with Sky Sports, PGA Tour radio, Golf Channel, another radio station, the writers and then the PGA Tour’s website.

Mariners swap Maurer for Seth Smith THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Padres traded outfielder Seth Smith to the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday in exchange for hard-throwing reliever Brandon Maurer.

Smith was left without a spot in the Padres outfield after San Diego’s makeover that included the acquisitions of Matt Kemp, Justin Upton and Wil Myers.

But Smith should have a significant role in Seattle, likely in an outfield platoon with Justin Ruggiano.

The left-handed hitting

MLB Smith batted .266 with 12 homers and 48 RBIs last season.

Possible platoon But against right-handed pitching, Smith hit .270 with all 12 of his home runs and an .815 on-base plus slugging percentage.

Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik wouldn’t call his right-field situation a platoon but said Ruggiano’s numbers against left-handed pitch-

ing and Smith’s success against right-handers could make for a nice mix.

“We were in search of adding Smith another outfielder.

We’ve got a player that’s a professional hitter, a guy that we think is going to give us really good [at-bats], especially against right-handed pitching,” Zduriencik said.

Seattle also gets some time out of the trade. Smith, 32, is under contract through the 2016 season with a club option for 2017.

“One of the things we try and stay away from is giving up talent for one-year returns,” Zduriencik said.

Maurer, 24, was originally a starter with Seattle last season but thrived after moving to the bullpen.

Maurer made 31 relief appearances and had a 2.17 ERA coming out of the bullpen.

Maurer had 38 strikeouts in 37 1/3 relief innings.

Detroit’s Suh has suspension reduced, can play Sunday THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh can play in Detroit’s wild-card game after his one-game NFL suspension was reduced to a $70,000 fine.

Hearing officer Ted Cottrell heard Suh’s expedited appeal Tuesday and ruled that Suh can play Sunday at Dallas but must pay the fine.

Suh originally was suspended for stepping on Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ left leg twice last Sunday in a loss to Green Bay for the NFC North title.

He stepped on Rodgers once

with each foot, which violated unnecessary roughness rules, according to the league.

But Cottrell, jointly appointed by the NFL and the players’ union, rescinded the suspension.

The Lions said they would not comment until today, when Suh will be available at their training complex.

One Cowboys defensive player, end Jeremy Mincey, seemed surprised by Cottrell’s decision.

“I didn’t understand that,” Mincey said.

“You’ve got to play the game the right way. I’m not knocking him. I like his intensity. I love how hard he plays. But there comes a

NFL point where you’ve got to think before you react.

“Sometimes it happens. I’ve done plays like what Suh did, so I’m not mad at him. It happens like that sometimes. You’re frustrated, you’re down and you’re losing and things like that.”

Suh has a long list of fines and one previous suspension, for two games in 2011 for stepping on the right arm of Packers lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith.

Suh has been fined eight times in his career, but this is the first in

2014.

Suh was fined $100,000 for an illegal block on Vikings center John Sullivan in Week 1 of 2013 during an interception return.

That was the largest fine in NFL history for on-field conduct, not counting suspensions.

The suspension was imposed Monday by Merton Hanks, the NFL’s vice president of football operations.

Hanks ruled that Suh engaged in a non-football act that placed his opponent at unnecessary risk of injury.

In his letter to Suh, Hanks wrote, “You did not respond in the manner of someone who had lost

his balance and accidentally contacted another player who was lying on the ground.

“This illegal contact, specifically the second step and push off with your left foot, clearly could have been avoided.”

Hanks further noted “you unnecessarily stepped on your opponent’s unprotected leg as he lay on the ground unable to protect himself.”

Cottrell’s decision means the Lions will have one of their key defensive cogs.

Suh finished the season with a team-high 8½ sacks and helped Detroit rank second overall and first in run defense

Bye week gives Seahawks time to heal and recharge

BY JOHN BOYLE THE [EVERETT] DAILY HERALD

RENTON — Thanks to a midseason turnaround that resulted in a six-game wining streak, the Seattle Seahawks earned a firstround bye in the playoffs, something head coach Pete Carroll referred to on Monday as a “huge advantage.”

One of the biggest advantages of a week off — aside from the obvious fact that it means Seattle has one fewer game to win in order to get to the Super Bowl — is that the Seahawks have an extra week to rest, prepare and hope some injured players can get back on the field.

The two injuries the Seahawks are most concerned about are the sprained knee suffered by defensive tackle Jordan Hill in Sunday’s win, as well as backup safety Jeron Johnson’s dislocated elbow.

Neither will practice this week after being, as Carroll put it, “hurt significantly,” but neither has been ruled out for Seattle’s Jan. 10 divisional round game either.

“We’ll see,” Carroll said when asked about Hill.

“He’s got a chance. We’ve got to see how it goes.

“It wasn’t such that he’s out or anything like that.

Both he and Jeron have a chance to make it back.

“With really good fortune, that could happen.”

Johnson is not only a core special teams player; he’s also the top backup at both safety positions, so his absence would be significant.

But an even bigger blow would be losing Hill, a second-year player whose lateseason emergence has been a big boost to Seattle’s defense.

The Seahawks drafted Hill in the third round of the 2013 draft hoping he could provide an interior pass rush, and were high enough on his ability that they released Clinton McDonald prior to the season.

But when an injury side-

Seattle defensive tackle Jordan Hill celebrates after he made an interception against St. Louis. lined Hill, McDonald was re-signed, then played so well upon his return that Hill never really had a chance to crack the defensive line rotation.

But after a slow start and another injury this year, Hill has come up huge of late, with 5.5 sacks over the past six games — the same total McDonald had last year — as well as a game-turning interception in Sunday’s NFC West clinching victory over the Rams.

In short, Hill has finally developed into the player the Seahawks hoped he could be, and perhaps more, so losing him now would be a big blow if he isn’t able to make it back.

roaring back at us this week,” Carroll said. “We’ll get a little surge there, and it’ll be good to see those guys come back.”

Receiver Jermaine Kearse, who sat out Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury, “should be fine,” Carroll said, though he won’t be pushed this week to avoid aggravating the injury.

Defensive end Demarcus Dobbs, who has missed three games with an ankle injury, should also be back to full speed by next week.

And if you happened to notice Richard Sherman’s Facebook post that showed his foot and ankle in some sort of wrap, Carroll said the cornerback is fine.

Other injuries

Quinn the candidate

While K.J. Wright left the game with a finger injury that Carroll called a “bad dislocation” — Wright told reporters after the game that he had to have his hand sewed up because a bone was sticking out — the linebacker is expected to be fine for the next game.

The Seahawks should also get back center Max Unger, who has missed six games with an ankle injury, cornerback Tharold Simon (shoulder) and tight end Cooper Helfet (ribs) when they resume practice later this week.

“Those guys will all come

According to multiple reports, Seahwks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is a candidate for coaching vacancies in Atlanta, San Francisco and New York — the Jets reportedly will fly out to interview Quinn this weekend.

And while Carroll wouldn’t go into detail on who has called about what assistants, he did acknowledge that the Seahawks have received inquiries.

“We have,” Carroll said.

“We’d like to let the teams doing their work speak for who they’re talking to and all of that.”

Consumers registered a more favorable view of current economic conditions; 17.1 percent said jobs were plentiful, up from 16.2 percent in November.

Just 19.6 percent said business conditions were bad, down from 21.8 percent last month.

The recent decline in mortgage rates has yet to bring more buyers into the market.

Simultaneously, there are fewer distressed properties and bargains coming onto the market that attract investors as buyers.

All of that has occurred despite an improving U.S. economy that has generated 2.65 million new jobs so far this year, as the unemployment rate has dropped to 5.8 percent from 6.7 percent at the start of 2014.

Monarchs return PIEDRA HERRADA, Mexico — More monarch butterflies appear to have made the long flight from the U.S. and Canada to their winter nesting ground in western Mexico, raising hopes after their number dropped to a record low last year.

But experts still fear that unusual cold temperatures will threaten the orange and black insects.

While an official census won’t be ready until mid-January, observers are seeing healthy populations of butterflies bunched together on fir and pine trees in protected sanctuaries, said Gloria Talavera, director of the official monarch butterfly reserve.

“We’re encouraged because we’ve seen more,” Talavera said Monday.

But cold forecast for this winter, she said, “could put at risk the whole migratory phenomenon. . . . We will be saying a prayer each day until mid-February.”

WASHINGTON — U.S. home prices rose in October at a slightly slower pace, as real estate sales have fallen and affordability has increasingly become a challenge for potential buyers.

The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index increased 4.5 percent in October from 12 months prior.

The figures reported Tuesday mark the eleventh straight month of price gains decelerating and the smallest gain since October 2012.

The slowdown in price growth comes after surging double-digit increases for much of 2013.

Home values climbed as the market recovered from bottoming out in 2011 in the aftermath of the housing bust and the Great Recession.

But home prices have outpaced lackluster wage growth, leaving many potential buyers unable to afford homes and causing both sales and price growth to stall this year.

Defect bulletins reach all-time high during ’14 DETROIT — Spurred by a decadeold ignition switch defect in millions of General Motors vehicles, the auto industry this year has issued more recalls involving old models — those made five or more years ago — than ever before, an analysis of federal recall records by The New York Times shows.

More than 60 million vehicles have been recalled in the United States, double the previous annual record in 2004.

In all, there have been about 700 recall announcements — an average of two a day — affecting the equivalent of one in five vehicles on the road.

The eight largest automakers have each recalled more vehicles in the United States this year than they have on average since 1966, when data collection began, with GM, Honda and Chrysler each setting corporate records, the review by The Times found.

While automakers are cleaning up years of defects that previously went undetected or ignored, driving has become statistically safer, partly because of added technology in newer vehicles.

Yet the lapses of the past cover a wide range of parts used in multiple models, driving up the number of recalls.

DEAR ABBY: My 16-year-old daughter, “Sierra,” started baby-sitting in the afternoons for a couple when she was 15.

Sometimes her dad or I would drop her off; sometimes the husband, “Karl,” would before he left for work.

My husband and Karl became friends, and when Karl and his wife split up, we let him stay on our couch for a few months.

Then, we found out Sierra was pregnant and that she and Karl had been sleeping together before he split with his wife.

My daughter is upset that we want to involve the police and press charges because she was underage.

How can I get Sierra to stop hating me and understand that this relationship isn’t healthy?

Right or Wrong in Wisconsin

Dear Right or Wrong: I discussed your question with an attorney from Lambda Legal, the national organization committed to achieving full recognition of the civil rights of LGBT people.

Currently, 21 states plus the District of Columbia have laws that protect gay people from employment discrimination.

Wisconsin is one of them.

The attorney said that “outing” the candidate to the other employee was “not necessarily illegal,” but it was “definitely a bad business practice.”

In the 21 states that offer protection for gay people, a prospective employer cannot base a hiring decision on how comfortable someone is with the candidate’s sexual orientation or the perception that a coworker or customer might be uncomfortable with a gay person.

That is discrimination, and it is illegal.

Dear “Enemy Mom”: Sierra is mad at you because you are injecting an unwelcome note of reality into her fantasy of “love.”

Karl is a predator who needs to be answerable for what he did.

He also will have to support that child until he or she is no longer a minor.

Because he has shown himself to be amoral and irresponsible, involve not only the police but also the department of social services to ensure that he lives up to all of his responsibilities.

Top 10 Clallam County stories of 2014 1 A RIVER RUNS THROUGH US: The multimillion-dollar removal of the two dams on the 20-mile Elwha River was completed in 2014 with a giant explosion.

The Aug. 27 blast removed the final concrete barrier impeding the river in Glines Canyon in Olympic National Park.

For the first time, the river is free-flowing, and river-watchers are seeing Mother Nature on a fast track.

As silt dammed for a century flows down the river — exacerbated by heavy rains in early December — a new spit is developing at the river’s mouth, and siltation is reported on the rip-rap rocks guarding Ediz Hook, created over millennia by the Elwha.

Meanwhile, fish that

haven’t swam beyond the old Elwha Dam 5 miles from the river mouth have been spotted upstream, as though they remember the pre-dam days.

Looking ahead, the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe will hold a celebration of river’s return during the weekend of July 17, 2015 — just about the time the chinook return to the river to spawn.

NAVY TRAINING PLANS OUT WEST: In a weighing of defense peacekeepers versus peace in the forest, a Navy plan to conduct aviation training using modern electromagnetic testing equipment in and around western Olympic National Forest has been met with substantial residential opposition.

In meetings from Port

Angeles to Pacific Beach, the Navy — with national forest officials at its side — has discussed its plans to packed audiences.

As the new year unfolds, the U.S. Forest Service is considering a special-use permit to allow access to 15 sites in Olympic National Forest on which three camper-sized Navy vehicles would be dispersed.

A fourth emitter would be at a fixed site at the Navy base at Pacific Beach.

The trucks, equipped with antennas mounted 14 feet off the ground, would emit electromagnetic radiation as part of simulated targeting exercises performed by Whidbey Naval Air Station pilots trying to locate the emitters’ electronic signatures.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 2015

Clallam CONTINUED Especially in the fertile farmlands between Sequim and Port Angeles, residents took to county government and, in some cases, the streets to protest proposed marijuana growing operations seeking state and county permits.

State voters in 2012 legalized the possession and sale of recreational marijuana to adults 21 and older by passing Initiative 502. The state Liquor Control Board is in charge of regulating the industry.

Initially, Clallam County applied its existing code for pot, allowing entrepreneurs to grow and process cannabis in rural zones with a conditionaluse permit.

In October, county commissioners clamped down on pot farms in rural neighborhoods such as

Agnew and near a former elementary school east of Port Angeles.

The controversy was a major reason why county voters tossed an elected director of community development in the November election.

Incumbent Sheila Roark Miller was defeated by Mary Ellen Winborn by about a 61 percent to 38 percent margin following a campaign in which rural marijuana growing was a popular topic at community forums and in letters to newspapers.

As soon as she was elected, Winborn declared that the legalized pot industry has “turned people’s lives upside-down,” adding that she will “proceed with caution” as the county develops permanent zoning regulations for state-licensed marijuana businesses.

FOUR LANES ALL THE WAY: For the first time ever, U.S.

IN

REVIEW

SPECIAL COMMEMORATIVE SECTION OF THE PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

Highway 101 — the transportation backbone of the North Olympic Peninsula — is four lanes from downtown Port Angeles to Sequim.

A 3.5-mile segment of the highway between Shore and Kitchen-Dick roads was fully opened Nov. 8, a milepost in the $60.5 million project that included new twin bridges over McDonald Creek and sleek turnarounds.

Crews will add a final layer of asphalt and restripe the surface when warm, dry weather returns later this year.

Scarsella Bros. of Kent built the additional lanes beginning in January 2013 under a $28 million contract.

The remainder of the state and federal funds used in the project went toward right of way acquisition, design and environmental review.

COMING ATTRACTIONS FOR LINCOLN THEATER: For nearly a century, Port Angeles’ venerable Lincoln Theater at 132 E. First St. has opened the community to the movie world.

Until last winter.

Faced with the cost of rising technology required to project movies on the screen, owner Sun Basin Theatres decided instead to close the Lincoln last March.

Since then, a “for sale” message adorned its marquee instead of movie titles.

Last month, a pending sale was announced by the theater’s real estate broker, effectively launching an effort by Port Angelesbased events producer Scott Nagel to find funding to purchase and renovate

the 500-seat building built in 1916.

Headlined “Port Angeles Performing Arts Center,” Nagel’s two-page executive summary calls the Lincoln Theater “the key to the economic future of downtown Port Angeles” and a “resource for the entire Olympic Peninsula.”

A FOOTBALL DYNASTY: In a year in which the Seattle Seahawks gave the region its first NFL championship in the Super Bowl, another football team enjoyed its third championship in four years.

The Neah Bay High School Red Devils defeated Liberty Christian 56-38 at the Tacoma Dome on Dec. 6.

How do they do it?

Credit the closeness of the Neah Bay community.

MOVING BEYOND THE DOG DAYS OF FORKS: In a community saga that stretched across the nation — and especially to the Arizona desert — a private sanctuary for dogs in a building on Russell Road in Forks became a flashpoint for animal advocates.

Steve Markwell’s nowdefunct Olympic Animal Sanctuary began housing dangerous dogs in 2006, received national attention when former volunteers alleged that conditions inside the pink warehouse had deteriorated.

Protesters converged on the city in fall 2013 and received extensive news coverage in Seattle.

Markwell returned to Forks in February and moved back to the warehouse, saying he kept

some dogs as pets but not saying how many.

Meanwhile, Forks City Hall, which took heat from the activists for allegedly doing little to address the sanctuary’s conditions in 2013, passed a beefed-up animal control ordinance in November.

Beginning today, Jan. 1, anyone who lives in Forks who has more than 11 pets must pay a special license fee.

“We want to make this a better symphony for the community as a whole,” longtime board member Chuck Whitney said of the 82-year-old orchestra, whose 55 musicians come from Port Townsend, Sequim, Port Angeles and Forks.

Stern, a music director who lives in Seattle, conducts the Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra and teaches at the Cornish College of the Arts, was commuting to Port Angeles, instead of living on the Peninsula, which

“The decision to leave [the symphony] was, emphatically, not mine,” Stern said.

A search is under way for a new music director.

As 2015 unfolds, four of the eight applicants have led the orchestra in concerts.

Four more will appear as guest conductors before the symphony board’s search committee chooses a permanent leader next May or June.

Top 10 Jefferson County stories of 2014 1

TOUGH RACE FOR COUNTY SHERIFF: The partisan race for Jefferson County sheriff became one of the most contentious in the county’s election history.

Incumbent Sheriff Tony Hernandez surprised the Democratic Party when he chose not to seek re-election, prompting Wendy Davis, Dave Stanko and Ken Przygocki to enter the primary.

Two Democrats entered the “top two” primary, Davis and Stanko. Przygocki listed himself as independent.

The county Democratic Party committee endorsed Davis. Stanko, who expected that endorsement, suspended his primary campaign.

Negative information about Davis and Przygocki emerged, prompting Stanko’s re-entry and Przygocki’s defeat in the August primary.

Stanko, a retired police lieutenant from Southern California, narrowly defeated Davis, 50.91 percent to 49.09 percent, in the November election, and he was sworn in to finish Hernandez’s unexpired term.

One of his first acts as

In other November election results, Democrat Kathleen Kler won the vacant county commissioner seat of the retiring John Austin by a 57 percent to 43 percent margin over independent Daniel Toepper.

In a contentious prosecuting attorney race, Michael Haas defeated incumbent Scott Rosekrans in a landslide, 62 percent to 38 percent.

After a 2010 conviction in Port Townsend was reversed in 2012, two mistrials occurred — one in Jefferson County because a juror became a witness and the other, in March after a venue change, because Kitsap County jailers neglected to provide Pierce with his prescribed medication.

The jury in Port Orchard handed down its conviction in November followed by a 117-year sentence handed down by Kitsap Superior Court Judge Sally Olsen — nearly the same conviction as the first four years earlier.

FORT WORDEN RECYCLED: Local governments create special-purpose, quasimunicipal corporations known as public development authorities to improve specific areas and boost the local economy.

Such is the case when a Port Townsend public development agency took over management of the campus portion of Fort Worden State Park from the state in May. The intention: to turn the campus into a major arts and cultural center, expanding the role that such organizations as Centrum, Peninsula College and the Port Townsend

RECYCLING, CONTINUED: The former Mountain View Elementary School in Port Townsend continued on a path to becoming a community center that houses a variety of government agencies and nonprofits.

The city of Port Townsend took over the property, renamed Mountain View Commons, from the Port Townsend School District in 2009 for use as a police station.

Well into 2013, it was gradually filled up with the

food bank, noncommercial radio station KPTZ-FM, the Red Cross, the YMCA and other agencies.

The city also continued to manage the municipal pool, which was built into the old elementary school, and used the building as a

temporary home for the city library.

The pool was closed several times during the year due to the failure of obsolete equipment.

As the new year begins, it’s still closed due to an old pump that failed during

the replacement of even older boilers.

In an effort to pay for all these repairs, City Hall announced a $3.6 million bond issue that will go before Port Townsend voters in February.

A TEST OF FREE SPEECH: A man who displayed a series of signs in a downtown Port Townsend park ran afoul of a new city ordinance that sought to limit the size of the display.

Erok “Arhata Osho” Olson maintained that such rules restricted his constitutionally protected right of free speech; the city argued that one person’s speech shouldn’t interfere with that of another.

Jefferson County District Court Judge Jill Landes ruled that the city law was constitutional and that Olson was guilty of violating the ordinance.

BEGINNING A NEW TRADITION: Port Townsend High School’s use of the Redskins mascot coming to a head was one of the most emotional community controversies ever, dating back generations.

The Port Townsend School District, perhaps prompted by a national discussion soaring around the NFL Washington Redskins, decided that the term is offensive to Native Americans and cast the school and community in a bad light.

After a three-month process, Port Townsend High students rebranded themselves as Redhawks, and the new mascot debuted in the fall semester.

The changeover was smooth: The rechristened Redhawks football team was only one game short of the state finals — closer to the championship than it’s been in many years.

A NEW CHAPTER FOR THE CITY LIBRARY: After being housed in the Mountain View Commons basement for more than two years, the city’s Port Townsend Library moved into its renovated Carnegie location at 1220 Lawrence St. in August.

A hoped-for bond issue that would have built an annex failed in 2013, so the renovation was less grandiose than the library wanted.

But the new space was immediately successful and was embraced by the community.

SHOWDOWN OVER EDUCATION FUNDING: The state Supreme Court held the Legislature in contempt over lack of education funding in a case that has its roots on the North Olympic Peninsula.

Justices in September said lawmakers were in contempt for failing to make progress on fixing the way Washington pays for K-12 education.

However the high court gave the Legislature until the end of the 2015 session to come up with a multibillion-dollar fix for the problem.

The warning stems a 2012 Supreme Court ruling, McCleary v. State, that said the Legislature had not lived up to its constitutional obligation requiring “ample provision for the education of all children in Washington.”

THE MYSTERY OF FLIGHT 370: En route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board.

To date, there’s no consensus as to why the plane vanished.

ABOUT-FACE ON CAPITOL HILL: For months, political oddsmakers sought to calculate if Republicans had a chance to gain control of the U.S. Senate.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: Frustrated by an impasse in Congress, President Obama took executive actions in November to curb deportations for many immigrants residing in the U.S. illegally.

Republican leaders in the House and Senate pledged efforts to block the president’s moves.

Russia, worried that Ukraine would tilt increasingly toward the West, annexed the Crimean peninsula in March and backed an armed separatist insurgency in coal-rich eastern regions of Ukraine.

The U.S. and its allies responded with sanctions against Russia.
