To build or not to build? Rayonier site’s future appears at crossroads By Tom Callis

Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — City, port and Jamestown S’Klallam officials are seeking state help in ensuring that the Rayonier property on the Port Angeles waterfront will be available for development. Rayonier Inc. is considering restoring the property’s shoreline and inland habitat — and limit or prohibit development — to settle its liability for damages the mill caused to natural resources during its 67-year existence, said Matt Beirne, Lower Elwha Klallam environmental coordinator. A state Department of Ecology spokeswoman confirmed that Rayonier has spoken to the agency about the concept, but Rayonier spokeswoman Robin Keegan could not comment, beyond saying that the company is “exploring some alternatives” for environmental restoration. Charles Hood, Rayonier vice president of corporate affairs, and Carla Yetter, the company’s environmental affairs director, did not return multiple phone calls requesting comment Friday.

Lower Elwha approached Beirne said the Florida-based company approached the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe last summer about the concept. The tribe is a partner in the environmental cleanup of the property because at least part of it was built over the site of the ancient Elwha Klallam village of Y’ennis. The Port Angeles-area tribe is backing the idea because it meets its goals of environmental restoration and protection of artifacts and burials known to exist there, he said. “We’re looking at restoration of Ennis Creek,” which runs through the property, “and the ecosystem so it’s a fully functional ecosystem,” Beirne said. “It would create a very unique environment among Puget Sound cities.” Turn

Another PA business burglarized PORT ANGELES — A 10th burglary at the end of last week is considered to be linked to an earlier string of commercial crimes in Port Angeles, police say. A business on the 200 block of North Francis Street was broken into sometime either late Thursday night or early Friday morning, said Deputy Police Chief Brian Smith.

The power to the building was cut and money was stolen, he said. The Port Angeles Police Department by policy does not disclose the amount of cash taken in burglaries, Smith said. “This isn’t really in the same part of town as the other burglaries, but it has roughly the same MO,” Smith said, referring to modus operandi — the method by which the crime was committed. Many of the other busi-

nesses burglarized also had power lines cut and were burglarized in the evening or the middle of the night. The nine previous burglaries had all been reported as of Tuesday and occurred roughly between the 300 and 900 blocks of East Eighth Street. Although not all of the names of the businesses that were broken into could be released, the police were able to release the names of Shal-

try Orthodontics, 611 E. Eighth St.; Blackbird Coffee Shop, 336 E. Eighth St.; Olympic Day Spa, 332 E. Eighth St.; Corinne’s Clipper & Style, 337 E. Eighth St.; and Viva Salon, 335 E. Eighth St. Adam Parent, who owns Blackbird Coffee Shop with his wife, Christy, said he arrived at 6 a.m. Monday to find the back door open and the power out. Turn

PA company wins pact, to add 50 jobs in year ‘Global presence’ seen for Angeles Composite firm By Paige Dickerson Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — Angeles Composite Technologies Inc. has been awarded a contract with Bombardier Aerospace that will mean the company adds 50 jobs over the next year. The contract, which is for the life of the program, is for building wing-to-body assemblies and cabin-air-stair composite panels for the Q400 regional aircraft. The contract translates to revenue of $190 million over the next 10 years, said Michael Rauch, chief executive officer of ACTI, in a statement. “This is exciting news for our company, Keith Thorpe/Peninsula Daily News for the city of Port Angeles and for the Mike Rauch, president of Angeles Composite Technologies Inc., right, entire Olympic Peninsula,” Rauch said. and engineering manager Dale Luther Jr., stand with an aircraft part

manufactured at the company’s Port Angeles plant.

Expansion plans The new contract also will lead to a tripling in manufacturing space, Rauch said. That expansion, along with the growth of current contracts, should result in hundreds of jobs, Rauch has said. Because so much growth is happening so quickly, some parts of the physical expansion may take place outside of Port Angeles, but Rauch said he was not ready to discuss potential plans. The Port of Port Angeles is preparing a new 25,000-square-foot building to add to the current 75,000 square feet the company now leases.

State report on city ‘incomplete’ PA manager cancels meeting with investigator after seeing draft By Paul Gottlieb

Peninsula Daily News

City Manager Kent Myers “Issues surfaced” over report

PORT ANGELES — City Manager Kent Myers is a man of many meetings, but Friday, he canceled an important one pencilled in for Monday. The meeting was with Kim Hurley, manager of investigations for the state Auditor’s Office, agency spokeswoman Kara Klotz said Friday. Myers and other city officials, including City Attorney Bill Bloor, were set to discuss Hurley’s final draft of a special investigative

report on city construction projects, alleged city payments to various businesses and alleged travel expenditures by former Mayor Karen Rogers and former City Manager Mark Madsen. The report was prepared over the past six months in response to an anonymous complaint to the Auditor’s Office. Myers said Friday he did not raise serious objections to the draft report Tuesday during a telephone conference with the Auditor’s Office on the report’s conclusions. “I’m not expecting the city to

be implicated in this audit,” Myers said. Rogers, pointing out that her council term ended in December, 2009, said in an email to the Peninsula Daily News that the auditor’s report concerned the city of Port Angeles and that she had not been invited to the Monday meeting. “I look forward to getting any issues, information or concerns resolved regarding whatever

She said he had suffered for 24 years from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease, and had undergone a double lung transplant in July. “I think his legacy is that he was both a scholar and an activist,” she said. “He believed that history could be used to inform the present and the future.” She said Marable’s latest book, Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention, will be released Monday.

Briefly: Nation Party sources: Obama to seek second term WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is about to make one of Washington’s worst-kept secrets official: He wants a second term. Democratic officials familiar with the president’s plans said Saturday that Obama intends to file papers as early as this Obama coming week with the Federal Election Commission to launch his 2012 reelection campaign. He also will announce his candidacy to supporters by email and text messages. The officials asked not to be identified in order to speak before the papers are filed. That widely anticipated but formal step of registering with the FEC will free Obama to start raising money for the reelection effort, which, like his 2008 campaign, will be run from Chicago. That fundraising already has begun. Obama netted $1.5 million at a Democratic fundraiser in New York’s Harlem this past week. He’s also scheduled to travel in the week ahead to headline events in Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Musical deterrent PORTLAND, Ore. — Just feet from a methadone clinic at a grimy crossroads in far east Portland, Ore., transit officials

and police are hoping a touch of class will chase off the vagrants, vandals and ne’er-do-wells that loiter near a busy transit stop. Since November, the regional transit department has approved the playing of classical music in an effort to ward off the kind of crimes that happen when people just hang around. A bill making its way through the Oregon Legislature would expand the program to all light-rail stops in Clackamas, Washington and Multnomah counties deemed high-crime areas by police or residents. “Classical music” in this case means opera, chamber music, choral pieces and music requiring a full orchestra. The whole project was brought to Portland by Police Lt. John Scruggs, a stats-happy former neighborhood sergeant who heard of the program working in other cities and thought it was worth a try. “It’s crime prevention through environmental design,” he said. “If you put rose bushes in front of your bedroom window, the burglar is less likely to break in through that window because they don’t want to get cut up.”

Briefly: World Libyan rebels say strike kills their own forces BENGHAZI, Libya — A NATO airstrike intended to thwart Moammar Gadhafi’s forces killed 13 rebel fighters in eastern Libya instead, the opposition said Saturday, but they described it as an “unfortunate accident” and stressed it did not diminish their support for the international air campaign. The rebels’ response to the attack — blaming it on a mistake within their ranks — highlighted their heavy dependence on the international air campaign as they face the superior military power of the longtime Libyan leader. The misfire also showed the challenges the coalition faces in identifying targets without coordination with forces on the ground. “As regrettable as it may be, we understand that we might have to give up lives for the greater good. We have to look at the bigger picture,” opposition spokesman Mustafa Gheriani said. “This is a war, and the lines are so fluid going back and forth, so it’s natural that mistakes will happen.”

1,000 civilians killed JOHANNESBURG — Unknown attackers wielding machetes and guns killed more than 1,000 civilians in the neighborhood of an Ivory Coast town controlled by forces fighting to install the internationally recognized president, the Catholic charity Caritas told The Associ-

ated Press on Saturday. The U.N. mission in Ivory Coast said it has a team investigating the alleged mass killings in western Duekoue. It said most of the nearly 1,000 peacekeepers based there were protecting about 15,000 refugees at a Catholic mission in the town at the time. Spokesman Patrick Nicholson of the Roman Catholic charity Caritas said workers visited Duekoue on Wednesday and found hundreds of bodies of civilians killed by bullets from smallarms fire and hacked to death with machetes. They estimated more than 1,000 civilians were killed, he said.

Power change outlined SANAA, Yemen —Yemen’s political opposition Saturday presented the most detailed outline of how it hopes to see power change hands after nearly two months of protests that have weakened the longtime president but failed to drive him from office. Tens of thousands of anti-government protesters hurled stones at riot police backed by tanks in the southern province of Aden on Saturday, and dueling rallies were held in the capital. Daily protests demanding the president’s ouster have so far failed to bring an end to his 32-year rule over Yemen, a corner of the Arabian peninsula beset by poverty, conflict and a long list of other woes. Seizing on the example of Egypt and other uprisings, the protesters want to open up the country’s political system as a path toward a better life. The Associated Press

Afghans burn a U.S. flag during an anti-American demonstration in Herat west of Kabul, Afghanistan, on Friday.

Death toll hits 20 as Afghan riots continue Islam, followers responsible for killings, Fla. pastor claims By Patrick Quinn

The Associated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghans rioted for a second day Saturday to protest the burning of a Quran in Florida, killing nine people in Kandahar and injuring more than 80 in a wave of violence that underscored rising anti-foreign sentiment after nearly a decade of war. The desecration at a small U.S. church has outraged Muslims worldwide, and in Afghanistan, it further strained ties with the West. On Friday, 11 people were killed, including seven foreign U.N. employees, in a protest in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif. The protests come at a critical juncture as the U.S.-led coalition gears up for an insurgent spring offensive and a summer withdrawal of some troops and with Afghanistan’s mercurial president increasingly questioning international motives and NATO’s military strategy. Two suicide attackers disguised as women blew themselves up and a third was gunned down

Saturday when they used force to try to enter a NATO base on the outskirts of Kabul, NATO and Afghan police said. Earlier in the week, six U.S. soldiers died during an operation against insurgents in eastern Afghanistan near Pakistan, where the Taliban retain safe havens.

President demands justice President Hamid Karzai expressed regret for the 20 protest deaths, but he also further stoked possible anti-foreign sentiment by again demanding that the United States and United Nations bring to justice the pastor of the Dove Outreach Center in Gainesville, Fla., where the Quran was burned March 20. Many Afghans did not know about the Quran-burning until Karzai condemned it four days after it happened. The pastor, the Rev. Terry Jones, had threatened to destroy a copy of Islam’s holy book last year but initially backed down. On Friday, he said Islam and

its followers were responsible for the killings. In the southern city of Kandahar, the cradle of the Taliban, hundreds of Afghans holding copies of the Quran over their heads marched in protest of the burning. Security forces shot in the air to disperse the crowd, but it was unclear how the protesters were slain, said Zalmai Ayubi, a spokesman for the provincial governor. The Kandahar governor’s office said nine protesters were killed and 81 others were injured in the demonstration that turned into a riot.

17 arrested Seventeen people, including seven armed men, have been arrested, the statement said. The protests began Friday in Kabul, Herat in western Afghanistan and Mazar-i-Sharif, where thousands flooded the streets. In Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghan demonstrators stormed a U.N. compound, shooting and killing four Nepalese guards, a Norwegian, a Romanian and a Swede. Afghan authorities suspect insurgents melded into the mob; they announced the arrest of more than 20 people, including a militant they suspect was the ringleader of the assault.

Crack at Japan plant leaks radioactive water into sea By Eugene Hoshiko and Jay Alabaster The Associated Press

RIKUZENTAKATA, Japan — Highly radioactive water was leaking into the sea Saturday from a crack discovered at a nuclear power plant destabilized by last month’s earthquake and tsunami, a new setback as frustrated survivors of the disasters complained that Japan’s government was paying too much attention to the nuclear crisis. The contaminated water will quickly dissipate into the sea and is not expected to cause any health hazard. Nevertheless, the disturbing discovery points at the unexpected problems that can crop up and continue to hamper techni-

cians trying to control the crisis. Word of the leak came as Prime Minister Naoto Kan toured the town of Rikuzentakata, his first trip to survey damage in one of the dozens of villages, towns and cities slammed by the March 11 tsunami that followed a magnitude 9.0 earthquake. “The government has been too focused on the Fukushima power plant rather than the tsunami victims. “Both deserve attention,” said 35-year-old Megumi Shimanuki, who was visiting her family at a community center converted into a shelter in hard-hit Natori, about 100 miles from Rikuzentakata. The double disaster is believed to have left nearly 25,000 dead — 11,800 confirmed. More than 165,000 are still liv-

ing in shelters, and tens of thousands more still do not have electricity or running water. Although the government had rushed to provide relief, its attention has been divided by the efforts to stabilize the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, which suffered heavy damage and has dragged the country to its worst nuclear crisis since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. The plant’s reactors overheated to dangerous levels after electrical pumps — deprived of electricity — failed to circulate water to keep the reactors cool. A series of almost daily problems have led to substantial amounts of radiation leaking in the atmosphere, ground and sea.

FOUR GULFSTREAM EMPLOYEES were killed Saturday in a fiery crash of a test twin-engine luxury business aircraft at a Roswell, N.M., airport, authorities said. Officials with the Savannah-Ga.based plane company confirmed that two Gulfstream pilots and two flight-test engineers died in the crash. Their names and other background information weren’t immediately released. The company said in a statement that the Gulfstream G650 was doing takeoff-performance tests at Roswell International Air Center at the time of the crash.

THE WYOMING TOWN of Lost Springs can finally count on the Census to get its population correct: Four. The Casper Star-Tribune reported the Census Bureau somehow missed four of the five residents of the town when it counted only one person in 2000. The cause of that mistake wasn’t clear. Leda Price, who lives on the west side of the 1-block Main Street, joked that officials must have counted only her side of town. The 2010 Census, however, got it right this time when it found and counted all four of Lost Springs’ residents. Since the 2000 survey, two residents died but a newcomer moved in.

GUNMEN SHOT UP a bar and then threw in fire bombs, killing three men and two women in the northern border city of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, an official said Saturday. The deaths came a day after a shooting attack on another bar in the city caused 10 deaths.

He said the bodies were charred by the fire started by the gasoline bombs at the Barritas bar late Friday. Sandoval said police found .223-caliber shell casings at the scene, a type frequently used by gunmen for drug gangs.

(The state, which oversees the cleanup of the property, would also have to sign off on any efforts made by Rayonier to compensate for damages it caused to natural resources, Beirne said.) The three governments also have requested a meeting with Gov. Chris Gregoire. Clallam County Administrator Jim Jones said he will attend the meeting, but only for informational purposes. The 75-acre property remains the largest undeveloped industrial waterfront property on the North Olympic Peninsula since Rayonier closed its pulp mill in 1997, and the city, the port and the Jamestown tribe each see a stake in the redevelopment of the property.

Beirne said Rayonier and the Lower Elwha Klallam have held several meetings with Ecology and the state Department of Natural Resources on the company’s restoration concept over the past few months but could not comment as to how far those discussions have gone.

PORT ANGELES — City Manager Kent Myers said he has taken himself off the job market. Myers had recently applied for city manager jobs in Corpus Christie, Texas, and Columbia, Mo., but wasn’t hired. He said he applied for the jobs to be closer to family in Texas and Arkansas. Instead of taking another job, Myers said Friday he plans to take more vacations visiting relatives. “At this point, I’m going to stay in Port Angeles,” he said. “I never had any concerns about the job or the community.” The City Council hired Myers in December 2008.

OLYMPIA — The absence of two Senators during a key budget committee hearing has cast doubt on the future of a bill to extend temporary taxes on hotel stays, restaurants and car rentals to help fund economic projects in King County. King County officials had expected the bill to move out of committee Friday, allowing action by the full Senate.

Sen. Brian Hatfield of Raymond and Sen. Rodney Tom of Medina both left the afternoon hearing without public explanation. A call to each senator’s cellphone Friday afternoon was not returned. A Senate Democratic caucus spokesman said Friday that leadership didn’t know where the senators went. The bill, approved 55-42 in the House earlier this month, extends the 0.5 percent restaurant tax until 2015.

PORT TOWNSEND — Port Angeles Mayor Dan Di Guilio spent his first day as interim general manager of Jefferson Transit on Friday meeting with staff and examining records. Di Guilio, 61, replaces Peggy Hanson, who resigned. He had served as general manager for Clallam Transit System for nine years, retiring in 2004. He came out of retirement when he was contacted about the vacancy, he said. “I didn’t ask for this job,” he said, “but I was asked to do it, so I’m here to help out.” Di Guilio said the “day job” as transit manager will

not interfere with his mayoral duties. The transit board has agreed to some flexibility in his Di Guilio hours in order for him to meet some committee responsibilities in Port Angeles. “There may be some days where I need to come in early or work late,” he said.

The center is open from noon to 4 p.m weekends during the spring season with admission by donation.

FORKS — Sarge’s Place, a transitional and permanent supportive veterans housing project, is scheduled to open in July. Once open, Sarge’s Place will be the only housing program exclusively serving veterans on the North Olympic Peninsula, housing 12 formerly homeless veterans. In honor of the individuals who have served our country since its inception, the front entry to Sarge’s Place will be paved with bricks inscribed with names of veterans and veterans organizations. North Olympic Regional Veterans Housing Network, the nonprofit owner of Sarge’s Place, is making these bricks available to the general public and in turn, the monies raised will help serve those veterans in need of housing and services at Sarge’s Place.

Bricks may be purchased for $50 each until June. When purchasing a brick, you may also choose to purchase a 1¼-inch-by-3inch replica take-home brick for $15. Each brick placed on the walkway and each replica will be laser-engraved with the name and branch of the service of the honored veteran. The laser indentation is then filled with glass, creating a lasting remembrance. Each 4-inch-by-8-inch brick will have one line for the name; this gives purchasers 20 characters including spaces and punctuation and one line for the branch of service. For an additional $50, a signature may be placed on the brick to commemorate the veteran’s signature. To order a brick, phone Cheri Fleck at 360-6402500 or email tinkers@ olypen.com.

On many nights, Lippard would sit outside with Forbes, sipping tea while listening to thunderstorms. They fascinated him, she said, partly because they were such a rare treat. “The night he died, we were having the biggest thunderstorm ever around here, and it lasted for hours. Even after we got the call,” Lippard said. When she examined his truck after the accident on Aug. 9, 1991, she found a Garth Brooks cassette tape inside cued to the song “The Thunder Rolls.” Forbes, 40 years old at

serious injuries. He died on his sister Tammy’s birthday. “Every time she has a birthday, that’s what she thinks of,” Post said. Steven’s mother Loie and sister Tammy have since relocated from the area, but they asked Marsha Masters of the county’s traffic safety task force to read a letter Monday on their behalf. “Go rest high on your Mountain Steven, your work on earth is done,” they wrote. “But you will never be forgotten by your sister and myself. You will never be forgotten by all the family and friends that loved you.” Lennon was a graduate of Central Kitsap High School and had been attending community college. He received his acceptance letter from the University of Puget Sound the day after he died — he wanted to study English. A decorated Boy Scout, Lennon earned the highest scouting honor when he became an Eagle Scout a few months earlier. “He got an Eagle Scout in his coffin. They granted him

Short Lunch Break?

BREMERTON — Along the sloped shoulder of a Highway 16 weigh station, a couple dozen people press against a guardrail with the weight of 20 years of heartache. As cars and trucks zoomed past the nearby Burley Olalla Road interchange, they watched while state road crews erected the first of four memorial signs — two westbound and two eastbound — in a tribute to Steven Lennon and Sherwood Forbes, who were killed in separate 1991 collisions caused by drunken drivers within a 5-month span. For some, two decades have done little to blunt the pain inflicted on this stretch of road. Photos brought to Monday morning’s ceremony tell the story of the babyfaced Lennon, posing in a sash that’s covered in Boy Scout merit badges. In another, the barrel-chested Forbes stands proudly behind the wheel of a 23-foot boat, wearing a thick beard. Following their 1991 deaths, the Lennon and Forbes families became among the first to enroll in the state’s DUI memorial sign program, meant to both honor their loved ones and warn drivers against drinking and driving. About 140 DUI memorial signs can be found today statewide. A standard sign reads “Please Don’t Drink And Drive” and includes a plaque below, listing the victim’s name. But the signs first installed in 1994 on behalf of Lennon and Forbes were removed during construction of the new Burley Olalla Road interchange, which was completed in October 2009. According to WSDOT traffic engineer Deanna Brewer, project designers

Masters said. “The impaired driver got on the freeway at Mullenix Road and traveled all this way, and went between two semi-trucks, split the semi-trucks and then hit Sherwood.” Both drivers died of massive trauma at the scene of the accident, according to State Patrol reports. Forbes, a fisherman who also worked at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, left behind two sons and a daughter, now in their 30s and with a combined seven children of their own. Relatives remember Forbes as an avid outdoorsman and hunter, the kind of man who maintained a gruff demeanor — until a young child entered the room. “That’s when he would melt,” Lippard said. He managed to sell his wife Donna on a honeymoon of camping and trout fishing in Eastern Washington, bringing his brothers and sisters along. “Good thing we had an understanding new sisterin-law,” Lippard said. “I have three children that never met him,” said niece Brandi Lippard. “Anything and everything that I know about fishing and hunting and camping and surviving in the woods came from him. “Twenty years doesn’t change anything. Every year, we miss him more.”

Who

shot the goose?

Port Angeles police arrested four Seattle-area teenagers for investigation of unlawful exhibition of a dangerous weapon Saturday after they allegedly shot and killed a Canada goose at Carrie Blake Park in Sequim. Police stopped the car containing the teenagers, who were between the ages of 17 and 19, at Second and Chase streets in Port Angeles after a driver traveling west on U.S. Highway 101 reported that they were displaying a rifle, said Sgt. Glen Roggenbuck. The rifle turned out to be a pellet gun that they used to shoot the goose, he said. The bird was shot at about 5:30 p.m., Sequim police said. Three of the teens also were arrested for investigation of being minors in possession of alcohol.

Bar N9ne wins fundraising contest Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — Port Angeles Relay For Life and the American Cancer Society recently hosted their third annual Last Call For The Cure fundraiser. The Last Call For The Cure is a competition between local pubs to sell the largest amount of footprints that donors could use to write the names of friends and family who have either survived or passed from cancer. Ten local bars participated, including Bar N9ne, Peaks Pub, Zak’s, The Junction, R Bar, Wine on the Waterfront, The Coo Coo Nest, Front Street Alibi, Joshua’s Restaurant and Castaways. Bar N9ne won the con-

test, with a total of $582 in donations. Peaks Pub was second with $490. In total, more than $2,000 was raised during the event, more than the combined total of the previous years’ competitions. This fundraiser is one of many that precede the actual Relay For Life event, which will be held from 3 p.m. to 3 p.m. June 10-11 at the Clallam County Fairgrounds. The next fundraiser will be in April, with two following in May. To register a team to participate in the Relay For Life event or to get information, email Jaime Sage at teamdevelopment@wave cable.com or phone 360477-7673.

PORT ANGELES — Olympic Medical Center union-represented employees plan to picket the hospital Wednesday, citing hospital officials’ proposed cost increases to health care insurance coverage, which they said are not acceptable. Bargaining between hospital administrators and the union was to resume Tuesday at the hospital, said Linnae Riesen, spokeswoman for Service Employees International Union Healthcare 1199NW, which represents 327 health care workers at the hospital. “Our patients are our first priority,” said Virginia Majewski, an obstetrics nurse at Olympic Medical Center. “But as health care workers, we need health care, too. We want to work with our hospital to settle a fair contract, but this attack on our kids is unwarranted.”

Presenters will be Becca Korby, executive director, Healthy Families of Clallam County; Lorraine Shore, community policing services coordinator with the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office; officers and Detectives Sean Madison

and Darrell Nelson of the Sequim Police Department; Kathleen Timperio of Peninsula College; Ashley Merscher, 2004 graduate of Sequim High School; and nutritionist Erika Van Calcar.

Riesen said pickets will take place in front of the hospital before and after work hours and during breaks. “No informational picketing will be on hospital time, but definitely a strong message is being sent to the hospital,” Riesen said. OMC has proposed health care increases that would make health care unaffordable for health care workers and their children, Riesen said. “For many workers, the proposed health care increases would be as much as a 10 percent wage cut,” she said. Said Rhonda Curry, OMC assistant administrator for strategic development: “We will not be pressured into entering into agreements that would send us into deficit spending.” OMC executives said this is the first picket at the hospital that they could remember.

Best OMC can afford

technicians, dietary workers, housekeeping staff and other health care workers, she said. Riesen said if an acceptable contract cannot be reached, the hospital’s represented employees could vote to strike, but that possibility has not yet been considered.

Strike not considered Once a contract agreement is reached, the employees would vote on ratification. The employees will be preparing today by building signs and creating banners to share their message with the community Wednesday, Riesen said. SEIU Healthcare 1199NW represents 22,000 nurses, health care employees and mental health workers in hospitals, agencies and clinics statewide. Curry said the hospital’s management “believes that the issues raised in labor negotiations are best resolved through good-faith bargaining, which means meeting together in an attempt to reach mutually agreeable solutions to the challenges facing many health care employers, especially rural health care organization such as Olympic Medical Center, with facilities in Port Angeles and Sequim.”

Large employer OMC is the largest private employer in Clallam County, with more than 1,000 employees. “One of our main goals is to keep our current workforce employed by maintaining a pay and benefits packages that we can afford,” Curry said. The hospital commissioners late last year approved a budget with $131.4 million in operating revenue and $129.9 million in operating expenses. In part because of a decline in outpatient volume, OMC projects a $480,829 loss in net income — from $2.9 million last year to $2.4 million this year. The hospital must balance the need for up-to-date medical equipment and facilities, Curry said, which represents about 8 percent of the health care facility’s budget, with the need for a competitive wage and benefits package for employees. Staff salaries come to about 58 percent of the hospital’s budget. “We are working hard to achieve this difficult balance and will continue to offer wages and benefits that are fair and competitive in our local marketplace,” Curry said.

They said the hospital’s wages and benefits are the best they can afford in challenging economic times. “We do want the public to know that OMC is proud of the wages and benefits we are able to offer,” Curry said. “At the same time, we are in a similar position as many other public sector employers. That is, we face significant limitations in the amount of revenue we are paid. “Therefore, it is critical that OMC enter into labor contract settlements that we can afford now and over ________ time.” The union represents Sequim-Dungeness Valley Ediaffected nurses, licensed tor Jeff Chew can be reached at practical nurses, certified 360-681-2391 or at jeff.chew@ nursing assistants, surgical peninsuladailynews.com.

Thank You!

Also Friday, the House sent Gregoire a bill that prohibits phosphorus-based lawn fertilizer in an effort to reduce toxic runoff getting into bodies of water. Supporters said phosphorus in fertilizer is a main contributor to harmful algae blooms in the state’s lakes and streams. The bill exempts phosphorus-based fertilizer for use in gardens and on agricultural lands, and retailers would still be able to sell it if it is clearly marked that the product is only for the permitted uses. Opponents argued that singling out fertilizer as the culprit behind algae blooms is misleading, as all human and animal waste contains phosphorus and also contributes to the hazardous runoff.

Free meals The Legislature also wants restaurants to continue feeding their employees. The House voted 91-1 to clarify taxation law so that the Department of Revenue can’t exact sales tax or business and occupation tax on free meals given by restaurants to their workers. “The Department of Revenue was trying to charge B&O tax and sales tax on something that was not on the revenue side of the leger for restaurants — it was on the cost side of the leger, so it makes no sense to be applying that tax,” said

OLYMPIA — The state House of Representatives will unveil its proposal for the next two-year state operating budget Monday, marking the end to an uneasy wait. After the March 17 revenue forecast showed the state’s expected tax collections will be down another $780 million in the next two years, House budget writers went back to the drawing board, reshaping their budget to adjust to the decrease. State Senate budget writers will reveal their budget later this month. State officials have said $37 billion is needed to maintain the state’s responsibilities and payments for the 2011-2013 budget cycle. The expected revenue for that time frame is $32 billion. Lawmakers need to close the estimated $5 billion gap. state Rep. Ed Orcutt, R-Kalama, in support of the bill originally introduced by state Sen. Ed Murray, D-Seattle.

‘Foreclosure fairness’ The state House also finalized approval of a bill introduced by Rep. Tina Orwall, D-Des Moines, that aims to get banks and homeowners working together to find alternatives to foreclosure. The bill strengthens requirements that banks meet with homeowners to discuss options and creates a foreclosure mediation requirement to further encourage open communication between banks and their borrowers. “This is going to help families across the state to stay in their homes whenever possible,” Orwall said. Orwall’s Foreclosure Fairness Act bill now goes to the governor.

back to the state Senate for approval before advancing to the governor.

Older teachers In other action, a measure that would give older teachers an incentive to retire early has cleared a key state Senate committee. Senate Bill 5846 would give teachers who want to retire before age 65 $250 a month over the next three years to help pay for health insurance coverage until they can qualify for Medicare. The Senate Ways and Means committee passed the measure Friday. Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown is the bill’s prime sponsor. She said looming high health care costs prevent older teachers from retiring early and creates roadblocks for younger teachers.

Oil spills

Prizes for savings House lawmakers also approved a bill allowing banks and credit unions to create prize-linked savings deposits to encourage people to save money. The measure was originally introduced by state Sen. Derek Kilmer, D-Gig Harbor, and sets up a lottery-like cash prize for people who put money away in the bank for at least a year. Several other states have proposed and implemented similar programs in recent years. It was first tried on a large scale in Michigan in 2009. Lawmakers said this is an especially good idea in the wake of the Great Recession, when people need to rebuild their savings. The bill was amended by the House and must go

A measure aimed at upgrading the state’s ability to respond to oil spills was approved by a state Senate committee. House Bill 1186 now awaits action from the full Senate after being approved in the state House. The bill increases civil fines for oil spills and requires oil tankers to have access to the latest oilrecovery technology that can operate in rough seas and at night. The industry also would be required to upgrade the equipment and training provided to fishing vessels that help with oil cleanup. One change to the House bill involves calculating how fines are assessed. Other changes add details to requirements for training, equipment and contingency plans.

OLYMPIA — The state Legislature has approved bills that aim to protect health care workers who handle hazardous drugs used in cancer treatment, restrict the use of phosphorous-based fertilizers and create a tax exemption for meals provided by restaurants to their employees. The state House on Friday unanimously approved the hazardous drugs measure after it was passed earlier by the state Senate. It directs the Department of Labor and Industries to develop rules for handling hazardous drugs, like chemotherapy drugs, that meet national occupational safety standards. An independent nonprofit journalism website, InvestigateWest, has reported that nurses who handled such drugs were exposed to health problems. “This is important for workers and their safety,” said Rep. Chris Reykdal, D-Tumwater. The bill now heads to Gov. Chris Gregoire to be signed into law or vetoed.

On flights, is bathroom fee next? THE MAJOR AIRLINES are nickel-and-diming the public with all sorts of new fees and fare increases. Air travel Andy has become quite an Rooney unpleasant experience for myself and many of my fellow passengers. I’m not going to mention any names of airlines; they know who they are. It’s almost impossible for the average person to figure out how much they’ll actually have to pay before boarding a plane. It’s not until we get to the airport and start checking in that

we realize it might cost an extra $100 to fly somewhere if we check our bags. There are still airlines that allow you to check the first bag for free, but additional bags cost $25 to $35 each. And God help you if the bag you check is overweight; then the airlines charge you from $50 to $150. There’s an airline that charges you for carry-on bags that don’t fit under the seat in front of you. I remember reading that this airline thinks charging this fee will help in the boarding process and allow the plane to have an on-time departure. Who are they kidding? My suggestion to anyone who flies is to pack light. If you want to eat something on a plane, most airlines now

Speaking Out

charge you for a snack or a meal. Some airlines do still hand out a bag of peanuts or pretzels for free. Airfares have been raised several times already this year, in addition to all the extra fees you may have to pay for certain seats, snacks and entertainment. If you travel with your dog, some airlines charge you an extra $150. The airline should just give your pooch the seat next to you if you have to pay $150 more! Do you remember pay toilets? If the airlines have their way, someday we’ll have to insert four quarters to use a lavatory on a plane. When is this madness going to end? I think the airlines should just raise fares again and stop adding

new fees. I had to fly somewhere recently, and I was interested in exchanging my middle seat for an aisle seat. I was told by the person who checked me in that if I wanted an exit row seat, a certain aisle seat or a bulkhead seat, it would cost an additional $30. Those seats are now considered in “preferred” locations on a plane and are more desirable, so they carry an extra fee. I think that’s outrageous. I have some advice for the airlines: Just start with the base price of a flight — like what appears on a new car sticker — and then offer various options or flight packages. For example, if your fare is $250 or more, you can purchase

the tourist-class package, which includes two checked bags under 30 pounds, a seat of your choice anywhere in coach, two trips to the bathroom, two bottles of water, a pillow, a small sandwich with a bag of peanuts, and a copy of The New York Times. Air-conditioning and seat belts are, of course, always provided to each passenger free of charge. ________ Diane Farr, our scheduled Sunday columnist, is off this week.

“I think they’ll improve. Perhaps a 20 percent improvement. I listen to them when I’m at my daughter’s but not at my place, though. They lost 101 last year. That’s scary.”

“My expectations are not too high, so I won’t be disappointed. But I look forward to seeing some of the younger players like Smoak. And Hernandez should have a good year.”

“We go to four games a year. I enjoy watching them play, and we are due for a winning season. I’m thinking and hoping they will do fabulously well.”

“They are going to be below .500 again. I really don’t see an improvement. One guy, Felix Hernandez, ain’t going to make them a winner. I’m not optimistic at all.”

“I really don’t have high expectations, but they’ll do better than last year. They’ll still struggle. I love them anyway. I’ll take in a few games. Edgar was my favorite.”

“I like what they said in the PDN: Don’t expect a lot, but be pleasantly surprised if they do good. There was too much expectation last year. Maybe Felix should pitch every game.”

“Hope they’ll do better. Spring training went pretty good, and they have a new coach. I like Bedard, ‘Gutty’ and Ichiro. Hope they’re better than St. Louis. My mom was from there.”

“I didn’t see too much trading. But we can always hope for the best. Maybe better than last year, but not the playoffs. The A’s are stacked. I do watch the M’s on TV.”

Interviews

Peninsula Voices Ridge traffic There are many of us who are awaiting statistics on the number of individuals who used the opportunity to visit Hurricane Ridge during the weekdays (Monday to Thursday) from its beginning Dec. 17 (beginning of the seven-day schedule) to the present. A hint appeared when the Park Service released a news bulletin March 11. That hint was quoted in a March 23 PDN column by Seabury Blair Jr. titled “Expanded Ridge Road Access Worth Wait,” which said that the weekday traffic averaged 41 vehicles per day. The writer failed to give the complete information. I quote from the news release: “Between January 24 and February 22, 2011 an average of 41 vehicles per day used the road from Monday to Thursday.” I would question why the park chose that period instead of Dec. 17 — when the road opened to an expanded schedule, weather permitting — to Feb. 22. Charles Stewart, Sequim We asked the Olympic National Park public information officer Dave Reynolds for a response. Here it is: In a March 11 news

release on Hurricane Ridge Road’s expanded winter schedule, Olympic National Park reported that an average of 41 vehicles per day used the road between Jan. 24 and Feb. 22. While expanded sevenday access “officially” began on Friday, Dec. 17, the range of dates quoted in the release was selected in order to provide an estimate of the road’s traffic on an average weekday. Road traffic is heavier and visitation numbers are traditionally higher during area schools’ winter break (which began Monday, Dec. 20), and on holidays and holiday weekends. For this reason, a monthlong period with no major holidays or extended time off was used for this initial estimate. From Dec. 17 to Feb. 22, the average MondayThursday traffic on Hurricane Ridge Road was 69 vehicles per day. These figures do not include administrative, employee or patrol vehicles.

cedure, my heart sank to a profound low. I could not stop the doctor, the ominous sounding machine or the tears. The machine sucked my choice up a narrow plastic tube. At 22, I held in my palm a miscarried child (younger than the one I aborted). A few months later, I dreamed that my boyfriend and I had killed and buried a child in the field. I woke up terrified. At 25, my husband insisted that I have another abortion. I screamed emphatically, No! I chose to save this baby’s life. My seven-year relationship with my daughter’s father ended, but a new and promising life began. Who came up with the catchword “pro-choice”? The word evokes an image of power, control and freedom.

No Sequim hunts People of Sequim: State Fish and Wildlife and their base, hunters, are stunting your economy five months of the year. State Fish and Wildlife has said that a hunter is worth $35 per day to an economy. Tourism officials say a tourist is worth $112 per day to an economy, more than three times as much. This area could be very prosperous. Everywhere in Sequim, it is picture-postcard beautiful. Yet for those five months, tourists do not come here. Eliminate hunting in the Sequim environs and watch your economy grow and prosper. Advertise the community in Seattle, Portland, Ore., snow states, etc., as having no hunting in this community, and watch this scenic area really take off. It needs to be done to create jobs for your kids and for your grandkids. There is no more logging and fishing. Now is the time to use the wonderful natural resources we have in Sequim to make this area prosperous. JoAnne Fleming Mann, Sequim Turn

Walking the dog DON’T GET OFF the couch that much? It could be time to fetch yourself a pooch. People who own and walk dogs are much more likely to meet physical activity guidelines, according to a new study published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health. While walking a dog obviously gets people out, well, walking, it also seems to encourage more active lifestyles. “Obviously you would expect dog walkers to walk more, but we found people who walked their dogs also had higher overall levels of both moderate and vigorous physical activities,” said researcher Mathew Reeves, an epidemiologist at Michigan State University. Reeves found that people who owned and walked a dog were 34 per cent more likely to meet U.S. federal benchmarks for physical activity, which call for at least 150 minutes of such activity each week. “There is no magic bullet in getting people to reach those benchmarks. But owning and walking a dog has a measurable impact.” Peninsula Daily News sources To apply the responsibility-to-prevent to U.S. overseas engagement would be to deploy the foreign policy tools of diplomacy, international cooperation (e.g., the U.N.) and carefully targeted development aid in a vigorous new effort to arrest developing conflicts before they break out into open hostilities. Unfortunately, in one recent year (2009), the United States spent 33 cents of every tax dollar on Pentagon spending for

current and past wars but only one penny on diplomacy, development and war prevention, according to the Friends Committee on National Legislation. In the same shortsighted spirit, the recent Housepassed budget slashes the State Department’s prevention-oriented Complex Crises Fund, the Civilian Response Corps and U.S. dues to the U.N.

Upgrade of Lyre River bridge to disrupt traffic Peninsula Daily News

JOYCE — An upgrade of the Lyre River bridge on state Highway 112 will require that it be closed twice during the next two weeks as crews switch out a decaying wooden beam with a stronger steel one. Drivers who cross the 268-foot-long bridge can expect one-way, alternating traffic from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays beginning Monday and continuing through April 14, the state Department of Transportation said.

One-hour closures One-hour closures of the bridge are also scheduled between noon and 3 p.m. this Monday and between 10 a.m. and noon next Monday, April 11. A bridge maintenance and preservation inspection crew recently discovered deterioration in one of the 12-foot-long, 10-inch-by-12-

rivers who cross the 268-foot-long bridge can expect one-way, alternating traffic from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays beginning Monday and continuing through April 14. inch-thick timber support beams, the department said in a statement. While the 1959 bridge is safe to cross and is structurally sufficient, engineers feel replacement of the beam will further stabilize the bridge and help maintain access on the highway.

Bridge safe Exact times for the closures are difficult to pinpoint since crews must stage a crane and use it to install and remove a 40-foot-long temporary support girder beneath the bridge. A jack on the girder, positioned directly above the old beam, will be used to slightly lift this section of

the bridge, relieving pressure from the segments around the beam and allowing crews to remove it and install a new steel section in its place. “There will be a lot of work going on, but we are going to minimize traffic disruptions as much as possible,” said Ron Bashon, bridge superintendent. “Keeping this in mind, the vast majority of this work will occur off the highway and beneath the bridge.” For more information, visit www.wsdot.wa.gov/ news for photos, videos, news and blogs.

Detectives seek clues in PA high-speed chase Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — Clues found in a 1992 Red Honda that was abandoned after a high-speed chase last week are being evaluated by detectives. Exactly what was found in the car is being kept under wraps while it is being evaluated, said Clallam County Sheriff’s Sgt. John Keegan on Friday. The driver of the car abandoned it in an alley near the intersection of 10th and Francis streets in Port Angeles after police called off the pursuit in a chase that reached speeds of more than 100 mph and ranged from Ranger Road to state Highway 112 to U.S. Highway 101 and wended through residential neighborhoods in Port Angeles. The driver of the Honda is at large. A description of the lone male driver was not available, Keegan said. “It is a hectic thing because a lot of things have to be taken into consideration, and you have to really rely on your training to be able to make decisions that quickly,” Keegan said of the chase. “We had great support from the dispatch, who were able to talk five agencies through it and allow everyone to get the information.”

PORT TOWNSEND — A discussion on biomass cogeneration that was scheduled Wednesday has been canceled. No new date has been set, though the Local 2020 Energy Action Group plans to reschedule the meeting in the future. The discussion at RoseWind Common House was intended to allow follow-up comments on a forum on biomass that drew 130 people to the Port Townsend Community Cen-

ter on Monday. Retired biophysicist Larry Bonar, environmentalist Diana Somerville of Port Angeles and Team Jefferson member Bill Wise spoke at that forum. Both Port Townsend Paper Corp. and Nippon Paper Industries USA in Port Angeles are planning to expand their biomass facilities, using wood-burning to produce steam and generate electricity, for which credits can be sold. Both are the subjects of appeals to state agencies by environmental groups who

say burning wood waste for industrial uses increases air and water pollution and threatens the sustainability of ecosystems. An appeal of the Port Townsend mill’s project will be before the state Pollution Control Hearings Board on June 2-3. An appeal of Nippon’s project will be heard Thursday and May 2-3 by the state Shoreline Hearings Board. For more information, visit www.l2020.org or phone 360-379-4858.

Law enforcement officers from the State Patrol, the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, the Lower Elwha Klallam police and Port Angeles police gave pursuit in the chase that was called off at about 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

PORT ANGELES — The Volunteers — the Army’s premier touring show band — will perform a “sold-out” concert Monday. The concert is free, but all concertgoers must have a ticket. All the free tickets were distributed Friday. Doors open for Monday’s concert at 6 p.m. Ticket-holders need to be in their seats by 6:45 p.m. Unclaimed seats will be released to nonticket-holders at 6:50 p.m. The six-member ensemble will be on stage from 7 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. in the Port Angeles High School auditorium, 304 E. Park Ave., with a fast-paced, high-energy blend of popular American music — rock ’n’ roll, standards, country, jazz and patriotic selections.

The performance is sponsored by the Peninsula Daily News. John Brewer, PDN publisher and editor, said the newspaper has sponsored a military band concert every other year for the past 12 years. Brewer said the PDN sponsors these free concerts for the enjoyment of the community and to show support for the military and their families. The Volunteers is one of four performing components of the Army Field Band and is based in Washington, D.C. The band has appeared in all 50 states, Canada, Mexico, Japan, India and throughout Europe, Asia and the Middle East. “This will be a concert you won’t forget,” said Brewer. “It’ll be an entertaining night for all ages to enjoy.”

College Football

NCAA should control bowls AS FANS GATHER in Houston this weekend to celebrate college basketball’s finest hour, college football is reeling from the aftershocks of a scandal involving the Fiesta Bowl, which has renewed questions about who should control big-time postseason football. The NCAA operates every William C. postseason Rhoden championship except the lucrative bowl system. For nearly 100 years, the bowls have been a network of privately run fiefs working with conferences, universities, corporations and individuals to create appealing, often irrelevant matchups. The Fiesta Bowl scandal is the latest example that the NCAA needs to take stronger control over that cottage industry, one that often operates outside its reach. A 276-page ALSO . . . report released by ■ Butler, the Fiesta Bowl UConn earn this week detailed spot in men’s the financial NCAA title improprieties of game/B4 John Junker, the bowl’s chief executive. The report, made public Tuesday after The New York Times published an online article about the investigation, contained a number of eye-popping revelations. ■ A 50th birthday celebration for Junker in Pebble Beach, Calif., was paid for by the Fiesta Bowl at a cost of $33,000; ■ Fiesta Bowl funds were used to pay his car allowance and membership fees in four private golf clubs; ■ Junker and two others spent $1,200 on a trip to a Phoenix strip club; ■ Investigators found an “apparent scheme” to reimburse at least $46,539 for employees’ political contributions and “an apparent conspiracy” to conceal the reimbursement plan from the bowl’s directors. “The bowls ought to be put under the control of the NCAA,” said William E. Kirwan, the chancellor of Maryland’s university system and cochairman of the Knight CommisJunker sion on Intercollegiate Athletics, which discusses and sometimes makes recommendations on the major issues of college sports. “One way to accomplish that is to go to a playoff and let it be an NCAA championship. That would be one way of breaking the back of the BCS. “I’ve never been in favor of a playoff, but given what I see going on, I think it’s time to press that issue.”

Large power structure This will be a major fight because it is not simply a battle against the Bowl Championship Series executives and their allies in business. It is also against the university presidents who preside over colleges in the 11 conferences that share BCS revenue. While the revenue from the NCAA men’s Division I basketball tournament is liberally distributed, BCS money is largely divided among the six major BCS conferences. Edward J. Ray, the president of Oregon State, said he was not prepared to call for a takeover of bowl games by the NCAA. But he wants to start the conversation. “I think there needs to be a meeting fairly soon between the six BCS conferences and the NCAA leadership about what are the rules and regulations for conducting postseason bowl games, starting now,” he said. “I’m not interested in a food fight about who’s in charge as much as making sure that we don’t ever see a repetition of what seems to have gone on,” he added.

Seattle Mariners’ Ichiro is congratulated after scoring on a sacrifice fly hit by Chone Figgins during the ninth inning of Saturday’s game against the Oakland Athletics in Oakland, Calif.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Ichiro was more pleased with the timing of his clutch swing than securing another Seattle record.

That’s what was more on my mind than the hit.” On the 10th anniversary of his major league debut, Ichiro reached on an infield single in the third, then did it again with his record-breaking hit off Brian

Fuentes that drove in Jack Wilson and made it 3-2 Mariners. Ichiro has 2,248 hits, one better than close friend Edgar Martinez’s previous club record. “Today I broke his record [and] when you look at the numbers, that’s a fact,” Ichiro said. “But he’s a hero back in Seattle. “He’s my hero as well. I played with Edgar for years and that’s something that’s important to me. “That’s precious.”

Chris Ray (1-0) earned the win despite giving up the tying run, and Brandon League pitched a scoreless ninth for his first save. Daric Barton had three hits for the A’s, who are off to an 0-2 start for just the second time in the last 13 years. The Mariners nearly wasted a solid effort by starter Jason Vargas, who pitched five-hit ball into the seventh inning. But Jack Wilson and Milton Bradley had two hits apiece and Seattle’s franchise player came with another big play. After tying Martinez’s record with his hit off Brett Anderson, Ichiro was retired in each of his next two at-bats before driving in Wilson with a grounder to first. Turn

Cowboys at home on Rock Peninsula Daily News

Port Scandalous pivot Misty “Vicious Red Delicious” Rains, front left, skates alongside Fort Lewis Bettie Brigade’s “Tamazon” during Saturday’s roller derby bout at the Olympic Skate Center in Port Angeles. At right is Peggy “Storma Jean” Sill of Port Scandalous.

All Dolled up Roller derby drops bows on PA TALK ABOUT A quandary. How exactly does a man write about a flat track roller ‘Madman’ derby event without sound- Schubert ing like a complete creep? Can I mention the skintight shirts and shorts that appear to be painted on in some cases? Is it uncouth to talk about names like “Gloria Sass” and “Kimbo Slice-a-Ho?”

Am I unqualified to talk about fishnet stockings, bedazzled eye makeup and the sport’s apparent preference for pigtails and jet black hair? Does it make me an obnoxious pig that I thoroughly enjoy all of the above? After about an hour of watching the Port Scandalous Derby Dolls first-ever home match at the Olympic Skate Center in Port Angeles on Saturday, I decided none of that mattered. The individuality that defines the sport — and trust me, it is very much a sport — means roller derby is whatever you make of it.

“As a sport it breeds independent, strong, athletic women,” said announcer Lady Blah Blah (aka Amy O’Shaugnnessy) of the Bremerton-based team Death Rattle Rollers. “I think there’s a lot of that out there for men, not so much for women, so they say, ‘Come as you are. “‘You might be a big girl, you might be a skinny girl, you might have never played a sport in your life, but we accept you.’ “It’s like a little family. I think that’s the appeal that roller derby has to females.” Turn

CASTLE ROCK — The Chimacum Cowboys must feel at home at the Castle Rock High School diamond. For the fourth time in five years, Chimacum swept a baseball doubleheader at the Southwest Washington site, beating host Castle Rock 9-0 and Rochester 4-2 on Friday. The Cowboys are now 8-0 in their home away from home since 2007. Of course, the first six games were Class 1A state regional contests. On Friday, the Cowboys (2-0 in league, 7-1 overall) were merely tuning up for another such run. “We just kind of battled through the two games,” said Chimacum coach Jim Dunn, whose team was short-handed due to injuries and eligibility issues. “It was good to get a contribution from our bench. They played solid and did well in the roles that were given to them, which is nice to see.” Chimacum’s pitching staff carried more than its share of the load as well. Starters Landon Cray and Quinn Eldridge surrendered just two earned runs while pitching 10 inning combined. Reliever Austin McConnell closed the door in each game with a pair of two-inning outings. Cray went pitch for pitch with Rochester ace Chris Bishop in the second game. After giving up a run in the top of the first inning, the Chimacum junior sparked a three-run bottom half with a lead-off double. Turn

The Peninsula Rifle and Pistol Club Junior Team recently won the Washington State Junior Olympic Air Rifle 3 Position competition in Olympia and Spokane. Team members are, from left, Daltyn Baker, David Springob, Brittany Baker and Austyn Baker. Brittany Baker was the top shooter in the state in the sporter club category with a score of 532. Daltyn Baker was third (500 points).

CHILLIWACK, B.C. — The Chilliwack Bruins have been sold to a group that plans to move the team to Victoria, according to minority owner Moray Keith. The Western Hockey League team has been in Chilliwack for five seasons but have had competition for the fan dollar the last two years from the American Hockey League’s Abbotsford Heat. Keith confirmed to Vancouver radio station CKNW that an agreement is in place that would see the Bruins end up in the British Columbia capital. Keith and business partner Jim Bond own a 25 percent share of the Bruins, but the pair was outvoted by team president Darryl Porter and NHL general managers Brian Burke and Glen Sather,

each of whom also own a quarter of the club. Keith and Bond, who own the company that operates Prospera Centre, the home of the Bruins, had submitted their own bid to buy the team. But according to former Chilliwack mayor Clint Hames, the offer was ignored.

Seattle Mariners’ Felix Hernandez, right, is congratulated by catcher Miguel Olivo after the 6-2 defeat of the Oakland Athletics on Friday in Oakland, Calif

Felix’s dazzling debut M’s ace goes distance in opening day gem By Janie McCauley The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. — King Felix is still on top, all right. The Seattle Mariners and everybody else received an immediate reminder why this guy is so special — and so darn tough to hit, too. Hernandez found his dominant Cy Young form in a hurry, pitching a five-hitter for his 14th career complete game and the majors’ first this year as the Mariners beat the AL West rival Oakland Athletics 6-2 on Friday night. He tossed the first complete game on opening day in franchise history, too. “That’s a good outing,” Hernandez said.

“The first couple of innings I was a little off the plate, but after that I was throwing a lot of strikes on the corners.” Chone Figgins hit a goahead solo home run in the sixth inning off Craig Breslow (0-1). Ichiro singled twice, drove in a run and stole a pair of bases as the Mariners won their opener under new manager Eric Wedge to end a five-game losing streak in Oakland. Seattle spoiled the A’s opener played before a sellout crowd of 36,067 that included 1,000 standingroom only tickets. Hernandez (1-0) dazzled after allowing Josh Willingham’s two-run, two-out homer in the first. He faced the minimum

in each of the next six innings, allowing only a leadoff single to David DeJesus in the fourth before Landon Powell’s base hit to begin the eighth. “He’s never going to give in,” Figgins said. “He’s not a Cy Young for nothing. He’s not one of the best pitchers in the game for nothing.” Hernandez, who won the 2010 AL Cy Young Award despite only 13 victories, struck out five and didn’t walk a batter in a 108-pitch gem. DeJesus struck out swinging to end the 2-hour, 50-minute opener. The right-hander is now 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA in his four career opening-day outings. “He’s no joke,” new teammate Jack Cust said. The previous pitcher to throw a complete game on opening day was Ben Sheets for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2007 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to STATS LLC.

“If you talk about opening day, you can’t ask for much more than that,” Wedge said of his ace. Willingham wasted little time showing why the A’s acquired him from Washington this winter to be their new cleanup hitter and upgrade an offense that managed only 109 homers and 663 runs last season, the team’s second-fewest in the last 28 non-shortened seasons. Willingham sent the second pitch he saw from Hernandez over the out-of-town scoreboard in left — the first opening-day homer allowed by Hernandez. Willingham became the 10th player in Oakland history to hit a home run in his first at-bat with the A’s. Frank Thomas last did it on April 3, 2006. “After the first inning I said, ‘I’m winning this game and then I’ll go a complete game,’” Hernandez said, sporting a big grin.

Devin Manix drove him in with the first of his three singles on the day, then he and Austin McConnell scored on an errant pickoff attempt of Manix at third base. “[Bishop] was pretty good. He was throwing in the mid 80s [mph] consistently all game,” Dunn said. “I figured runs were going to be at a minimum, so I tried to squeeze an extra run out there [when the third baseman didn’t hustle to the wild pickoff].” The gamble more than paid off, as it put the Cowboys ahead 3-1 once McConnell beat the throw to home. That was all Cray (2-1) and company would need. Cray struck out 11, walked two and gave up just the one run in his five innings on the hill. McConnell gave up a run in the sixth to allow Rochester to creep within two at 4-2, but he pitched a scoreless seventh to earn his second save of the season. “Rochester is a good team,” Dunn said. “I would be surprised if they didn’t win their district down there.” Eldridge (3-0) turned in his own dominant outing on the mound in the opening game against Castle Rock, the same team Chimacum beat 10-0 on its way to a runner-up finish in 1A last spring. The Cowboys righthander struck out eight and walked two in five innings of shutout baseball.

Chimacum took advantage of five Castle Rock errors and seven walks to score nine runs in the first six innings. “We’ve played pretty good defense up ‘til today,” Castle Rock coach Joe Bair told the Longview Daily News. “Part of that has to do with you have to give Chimacum credit. They hit the ball hard the whole time.” Lucas Dukek smacked his third home run of the season to lead the Cowboy bats, while Cray was 1-for-3 with a double and three runs scored.

Games postponed Heavy rains led to the cancellation or postponement of a handful of games on the North Olympic Peninsula this weekend. Among those called off were the North Mason-Port Angeles girls tennis match Friday, Port Townsend-Chimacum softball game Friday and Saturday’s Port AngelesTenino baseball game.

Derby: Port Scandalous brings out the crowds Continued from B1 “As fans,” added Lady Blah Blah, “I think it’s just fun for all ages. Who doesn’t want to see football played out on wheels without a ball and girls in little cute uniforms?” Amen, Lady Blah Blah. Amen.

Controlled chaos There’s much to enjoy in the controlled chaos that comes with roller derby. And the moment you stop worrying about whether or not you know what’s going on is exactly when you start to see it for what it is — a combination of grace and power akin to popular contact sports.

Much like its gridiron counterpart, for instance, there’s a use for all body types — be it the smaller, faster skaters or the bigger, bruising enforcers on wheels. There are hellacious hits that send skaters sliding into the front row, and there are moments of skillful skating when “jammers” swoop in and around packs of “blockers” and turn corners foot over foot like a short-track speed skater. And then, of course, there is the sport’s inimitable style; the clever nicknames, the retro striped socks and the intentionally overdone mascara. “Any style or particular look that celebrates the

female body is going to be immediately brought into roller derby,” Lady Blah Blah said. “It depends on the kind of team you want to be.” But, Lady Blah Blah added, “because you may accessorize or because you want to bling out your boy shorts or whatever, it doesn’t mean that you’re not playing a sport. “It just means you enjoy that part of it.” Basketball players throw on all manner of sweatbands, baseball players load up on eye black and hockey players grow grotesque mullets. Why can’t roller derby girls do their own thing as well? The way Port Scandal-

ous captain Staci Botts (aka Kitty Kabooty) explains it, however, the draw is something else all together. “The appeal is the camaraderie with my teammates, and the ability to be professional and responsible in my real life and come out here and get out all of the aggression,” said Botts, a 38-year-old human resources staffer at Westport Shipyard. Botts is not alone in that regard.

Diverse crowd Port Scandalous has women of all ages and walks of life, from 22-yearold barista/business owner “Maulin” Molly Jensen to

30-year-old forensic investigator Anita “Anighta Terror” Hicklin to 39-year-old saleswoman Angie “Diva DeRailHer” Wilhelm. At any point in the match they might be flying around the rink dodging skaters in an attempt to score points or hip-checking an opponent into the rail. Less than a year into the sport — Port Scandalous first began holding practices last May — the Derby Dolls are still relatively new to the sport. Saturday’s bout against the Fort Lewis Bettie Brigade was just the second in the club’s brief history. The Dolls lost 153-129, but that didn’t seem to matter too much to the

packed house inside Olympic Skate Center. A group of grade-school aged girls even approached Botts for a photo after the bout. Soon, they may be derby girls themselves. “Roller derby definitely fosters an individuality,” Botts said. “We are a team, but we’re all different. “We have different strengths, and definitely the look plays into it.” But, as I learned on Saturday, it’s only a small part.

Maybe this time that final, riveting shot will go in. Maybe this time Butler won’t need it. “We’re not going to settle on just getting back,” said Zach Hahn, who came up big off the bench in Butler’s 70-62 victory over VCU on Saturday night that gave the Bulldogs a do-over and ended the warm-and-fuzzy story of this year’s NCAA men’s tournament. “I remember the sour taste it left in my mouth last year, and I just think this group, we’re here now and we have a chance. “That’s all you can ask.” Shelvin Mack scored 24 points, Hahn scored all eight of his points during a 90-second span in the second half that gave Butler control of the game for good and the Bulldogs shut down hotshooting VCU with their trademark unforgiving defense. The eighth-seeded Bulldogs (28-9) will face Connecticut on Monday night, the lowest-seeded team to play for the national title since Villanova won it as a No. 8 seed in 1985. “We’ve just got to be one shot better than last year,” coach Brad Stevens said.

VCU (28-12) sure didn’t look like a team critics dismissed as “unworthy” — and a whole lot worse — after it skidded into the NCAA tournament with five losses in its last eight games. But Butler’s stifling defense was too much for the Rams, only the third No. 11 seed to reach the Final Four. “Butler was the aggressor for the majority of the game,” VCU coach Shaka Smart said. “We had our runs.” But not enough of them. Jamie Skeen scored 27 and Bradford Burgess had 15, including three 3-pointers before the game was even seven minutes old. But Stevens is known for his tactical acumen, and this game was no different. He tweaked Butler’s defense, and Burgess had just one more three the rest of the night. VCU had always managed to find a shot when it needed it in its first three games, but Butler simply wouldn’t allow it. VCU was just 8 of 22 from long range, though that was still enough to set the NCAA record for most 3s in a tournament with 61. But Brandon Rozzell, who tied his career high with six treys against Georgetown, was 0 for 3.

Gonzaga locks up Graves Women’s basketball coach extends contract 10 years The Associated Press

Gonzaga enjoyed some luck this year because the first four rounds of the NCAA women’s tournament were awarded to Spokane. The first two games were on its home court, where full houses watched the 11th-seeded Bulldogs beat Iowa and UCLA. The next two games were in the much larger Spokane Arena, where Gonzaga beat Louisville before losing 83-60 to Stanford. Next season, the first two rounds of the tournament will once again be played in Spokane. Led by All-America point guard Courtney Vandersloot of Kent, Gonzaga’s 31 wins were a school record for a women’s or men’s team.

SPOKANE — Fresh from taking the Gonzaga women’s basketball team to the NCAA round of eight, coach Kelly Graves said Friday he has signed a 10-year contract to remain at the school. Financial details were not revealed. Graves said he loves Gonzaga and is happy he will stay in Spokane for at least the next decade. “My family loves it here,” Graves said. “This is a great place to raise three boys.” Gonzaga men’s coach Mark Few, who has taken the Zags to 12 straight

NCAA tournaments, has also repeatedly spurned offers from other schools. Few also extols the virtues of living in Spokane, a city of 208,000 residents located on the WashingtonIdaho state line. Athletic director Mike Roth said Graves’ contract had been in the works for some time, and was finally signed after Gonzaga lost to Stanford on Monday night to end the most successful season in program history. “He has taken the program to new heights and for that he is being rewarded,” Roth said.

Graves was considered a hot property after leading Gonzaga to a 31-5 record and a third straight trip Graves to the NCAA tournament. In 11 seasons, he has a record of 232-119 at Gonzaga, including seven straight West Coast Conference titles. Washington put out feelers to Graves for its vacant head coaching position, but Graves said he was not interested. Gonzaga is a Jesuit university with about 7,000 students. As a private school, Gonzaga does not have to disclose how much it pays coaches.

“I looked around the room, and it was pretty quiet. “Having a class like this makes me feel more comfortable about keeping my wife’s daughter safe. It’s her first year on the water.”

Damage control Along with emergency evacuation, fishermen practiced vessel damage control at the Neah Bay Coast Guard Station using a special vessel designed to simulate many kinds of leaks on a boats. They assembled leak fix kits that included old inner tubes, wooden shims and special tape. “OK, who’s gonna fix it?” asked Coast Guard marine inspector Robin Kendall as a new leak sprang on the device. Teams of two or three sprang into action, pounding wooden shims or stuffing inner tubing into a leak and wrapping it with specialized pipe tape.

U.S Coast Guard marine inspector Robin Kendall, center, talks to Makah tribal fishermen about their experiences with emergency leaks at sea and how to fix them on a special vessel designed to simulate leaks at the Neah Bay Coast Guard Station. Equally prized was discussion from the fishermen about emergencies they had experienced and how they dealt with it. “Keep talking — this is valuable information,” Kendall said. Like all emergency kits, the vessel damage control kit needs to be checked regularly to make sure crucial supplies haven’t been used and not replaced, Kendall said. Instructors also underscored the need to get back to port immediately to make the permanent fix instead of trying to continue to fish with a problem that

could lead to sinking. “These drills make you think,” Soeneke said. “Communication is key, and we’re going to work on making sure we are prepared if something goes wrong.” The annual course has been co-sponsored by Washington Sea Grant and the Makah tribe for 12 years. A separate First Aid at Sea course has been offered for the past five years.

The Northwest Raptor & Wildlife Center, the Sequim wildlife rescue and rehabilitated nonprofit, has announced it will release into the wild this rehabilitated juvenile bald eagle at 1 p.m. Saturday at Dungeness County Park, 554 Voice of America Road, Sequim. The center also plans to release a rehabilitated barred owl at 5:30 p.m. today at 800 Lindberg Road, Port Angeles, opposite the Peninsula Golf Clubhouse. Both were hit by cars and were rehabilitated at the center. Although most releases of wild animals are private, the center invited the public to watch as the owls and the eagle were freed. “It is always an inspiring scene to see a wild animal healed by human hands get a chance to return to the wild,” Randazzo said.

Male’s singing transforms house finch JUST AS THE coffee was being made, a bird burst into song right over my head. The kitchen skylight lets us see into the plum tree’s blossoms, where the singer was perched. A male house finch with head thrown back and wings spread was singing his heart out. The object of his affection was sitting nearby. Courting male house finches go all out in pursuit of their ladies. This one was serenading with great vigor and also tempting her in another way. “Sweets for the sweet” seemed his plan. House finches are notorious for their sweet tooths. They get the better of them in the spring when the blossoming fruit trees tempt them. It isn’t unusual to see blossoms raining down long before they are past their prime. There is a bit of sweet nectar in each flower, and the finches can’t resist it after eating seeds all winter. As I watched the pair in the plum tree, the male finished his song and immediately picked a blossom. It wasn’t for him. He leaned over and offered it to the female sitting beside him. Love songs and sweet treats — this fellow knows how to do things right. I’m sure that he has a nest site picked out and will soon show it to her. We take house finches for granted during the long winter months.

BIRD WATCH They are always at the Carson feeders, often in large numbers. Once spring arrives, the flocks break up, but it isn’t unusual to have more than one pair nesting in the yard. After they are no longer in flocks, sitting and shelling sunflowers for much of the day, they become different birds. The male’s singing transforms him into one of the most vibrant performers in the neighborhood. When a house finch bursts into his nonstop song that runs through a variety of notes and trills, he lifts your spirits. He says “spring is here” in a way that brings out the sun even when it is cloudy. The male’s romantic courting is just the beginning of his transformation. The female chooses where their nest will be built and does all of the building. However, he participates in the exercise with his characteristic enthusiasm. Not only does he accompany her on her forays for nesting materials, he continues his singing as she puts the nest together. Last year, one of our males would sit inside the decorative wreath hanging on the front door

A black oystercatcher contemplates taking a dip in some cool water. and sing nonstop. His mate was working on their nest hidden in the Passion Vine growing on the arbor. He was not only encouraging her efforts, he was telling other birds the territory was taken. He was on guard. Unlike male hummingbirds, the house finch stays with his mate to raise the family. They believe in large families. Once the first brood is ready to leave the nest, Dad leads them to the feeders and introduces them to sunflower seeds and the lard/oatmeal mix.

You easily spot a new family. The youngsters are not only chirping and begging, but they look like they have horns. Remaining natal feathers stick out on either side of their heads, giving them a comical look. The male takes charge of the first brood because the female is already starting on a second one. These are family-oriented birds, and the first batch often helps with the second one after they are ready to leave the nest. It’s comical and touching to watch a young house finch feed-

ing a begging younger sister or brother. Spring does wonderful things to the birds we have pampered all winter. Watching these changes is reward enough for cleaning and filling feeders over and over. Hearing their spring songs is just the beginning.

Your local library might also want them. Dear Abby: My sister and I want a dog, but our mother won’t let us have one. When we asked her why not, she said, “Because dogs poop, pee, get things dirty and bark.” We told her, “We will train it, feed it, clean up after it. We’ll even pay for it.” We really would, but she still says, “No!”

On brassica’s collards and cabbages SINCE I STRAINED the limits last week trying to connect the madness of basketball in March to vegetable gardening, let me begin today by starting with the first in the brassica genus. Latin for “brassica” is “caulis,” meaning stem or cabbage, and more often than not, members of the brassica genus are referred to commonly as “cabbage,” even though my industry uses the common term “cole crops.” The varieties of cabbages grown today descended from wild cabbages that evolved in the Mediterranean. The cabbage was well-known in the Roman and Greek empires, but we should come to know this plant as inexhaustible. Cabbages absolutely adore cool nights and mild days and tolerate frost very well, so boy, do we have the Peninsula for cabbage! Frost-tolerant means you should start planting this week or be sowing seed in the garden, and I have seen packs of cabbage as well as other brassica for sale now at many plant outlets. Savvy gardeners normally plant a few (three to five) varieties and types in 10- to 14-day successions because prime pick-

given namesake. I call them delicious or ground-picked water chestnuts because their crispness and flavor is much like the best-tasting water chestnuts, though many others compare kohlrabi to apples in texture, taste and crispness. The advantage of kohlrabi is the speed that one can sow, grow and consume this crop, which from seed to mouth only takes 55 to 60 days. It also takes up little room in the garden, needing only 3 inches to 4 inches between plants. The plants need fertile and moist soil to assist and maintain the rapidly growing bulb, and the lack of constant moisture results in strings and piths in the edible bulb part of the plant. Eaten raw, sliced or fresh with a salad makes kohlrabi an incredible food source for many nutrients as well as a great source for dietary fiber (3.6 grams per average plant). Collards B. oleracea (Acephala group) is a group of loose-leafed cultivars harvested for use as greens. The group name comes from the Greek name “acephala,” meaning “without head.” Collards thrive in cool

weather and are frost-tolerant, so they will perform fantastically in your garden. They do grow large, about 2 feet in circumference, and the leaves should be harvested when young and from the exterior of the plant. Never cut away at the interior terminal tip, or leaf production will cease! Collards like rich, humic soil and can be harvested for months at a time. Cool weather increases sweetness and nutrition, and the Peninsula has both. Collards are extremely high in vitamin K (592 percent per serving) as well as vitamins A, C and calcium, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In Egypt, collards are primarily used as an ingredient in soup. Next week, we go to a fullcourt press, starting with broccoli.

Mary Elizabeth (Munn) Yntema passed into the presence of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on March 27, 2011, at her home in Port Townsend. Mary Beth was born on November 3, 1922, in Great Falls, Montana, to Hector John and Pearl Marie (Bond) Munn. Her early childhood was spent in Index, Washington, where her father worked in the Sunset Mine. The family moved to Lake Leland in Jefferson County, where Mary Beth graduated from the eighth grade at Leland School. She graduated from Quilcene High School in 1940. Mary Beth then graduated from St. Peter School of Nursing in 1944. After nursing school, Mary Beth received a degree in Christian Education from Grace Theological Seminary in Winona Lake, Indiana. She then served as Missionary Nurse in the Central African Republic, pioneering leprosy medical work. After retiring from active mission work, Mary continued nursing in Port Townsend, Fairbanks and Juneau, Alaska, and Arlington, Washington, where she loved to hike in

Mrs. Yntema the North Cascade Mountains. Mary Beth taught women’s Bible studies and Sunday school classes wherever she lived. Mary Beth met William Yntema on a trip to Israel in 1979. They were married on August 6, 1979. The happy couple lived in Davison, Michigan, until Bill retired. They then went on short-term mission trips to Haiti and the Central African Republic.

PeninsulaNorthwest Proper outboard motor care Briefly . . . Peninsula Daily News

subject of free class April 13 Peninsula Daily News

PORT TOWNSEND — Boat shop owner Stewart Pugh will discuss “Being Proactive in the Care and Feeding of Your Outboard Motor” at a Wooden Boat Wednesday event at the Northwest Maritime Center Chandlery, 431 Water St., from noon to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 13. This free class is principally for those who own and operate outboard motors and small dingy crash boats. Outboard motors in a saltwater marine environment demand more attention than most operators provide. Loss of an outboard on a small skiff or sailboat could

result in an expensive rescue or loss of life. Simple and routine maintenance tasks increase safety on the water and increase the life of the outboard motor. Pugh will demonstrate with “show and tell” the basic care and feeding procedures for small outboard motors. Special attention will be directed to typical problems related to saltwater, fuel, corrosion, electrical and unintentional abuse. Pugh will include discussions of both two- and fourcycle motors. The goal of this short class is for boat owners to reduce repair costs and learn step by step how to inspect and uncover basic

outboard motor problems. Simple and routine maintenance will be shown, and Stewart will have parts of various outboards for his “show and tell”. Pugh has worked on all types of marine motors for 45 years. He has spent the past 10 years maintaining the fleet of small outboards used by the Northwest Maritime Center and schooner Adventuress. He has a Port Townsend boat shop that repairs small outboards, inflatable boats and builds underwater robots. To RSVP, email chandlery@woodenboat.org or phone 360-385-3628, ext. 101.

Steve Posey was the oldest child of Rollin and Elizabeth (Dykstra) Posey, born in Hartford, Connecticut, and raised in Evanston, Illinois. He attended four colleges, including Yale University and the University of Wisconsin. Although he never completed a degree, he enjoyed his studies, especially science courses. Steve always said that his early career was where the real fun was for him. He started out as a musician playing jazz guitar but ultimately left the world of the “gig” for a “real job” at the Midwestern Universities Research Association in Madison, Wisconsin, whose mission was to bring high-energy physics to the Midwest. Steve was an acceleration system designer for a particle accelerator until the lab that he worked in was relocated to the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Chicago, Illinois. Steve then went to work for Dicomed Corp. in

Mr. Posey Minneapolis, Minnesota, as project manager for the NASA Apollo 16 experimental film digitalization project that brought images from the moon back to Earth. He loved everything about the space program and talked often of trips to Cape Canaveral, Florida. Unfortunately, that work ended when government funds for the space program were cut in the mid1970s. He then moved to Colorado, where he met and married Golda, his loving wife of 33 years. In Colorado, he was a

field service technician for large computer systems. He traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and enjoyed frequent-flyer perks that allowed him to take Golda on many memorable trips. Business brought him to Seattle, Washington, multiple times in the 1980s and he said he knew that it was the “next place” to live. He and Golda moved to Seattle in 1985, and Steve worked for, and ultimately retired from, computer information services at Regence Blue Shield. After retirement, he said it was time to find a place with a slower pace and less traffic, so he and Golda moved to Port Townsend in 2004 after building a home in Kala Point. Steve volunteered as a Kala Point board member and newsletter editor until his metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis in 2008. He then found his last great passion: Argentine tango. For the last two years of his life, he became addicted to the dance. He took tango lessons seriously because he

knew that he didn’t have time for years of practice needed to become a real tanguero. He loved tango and talked nonstop about it to anyone who would listen. He greatly appreciated the encouragement he received from the Port Townsend and Port Angeles tango communities as he worked to improve his dancing. Steve was a devoted and loving husband, caring brother, inveterate optimist and passionate adventurer throughout his life. He always had the soul of the collector, whether it was 1941 Lincoln Continentals, automobiles in general, preWorld War II shortwave radios, guitars or all things tango. A celebration of Steve’s well-lived life is planned for Saturday, April 9, 2011, at 4 p.m. in the clubhouse of the Kala Point Owners’ Association, 310 Sailview Drive, Port Townsend. Contributions can be made in Steve’s name to the Hospice Foundation of Jefferson Healthcare, 2500 West Sims Way, Port Townsend, WA 98368.

Two years ago in May, Cliff’s beloved wife, Marijo, well known in the Sequim community for her work at the post office and in the Sequim Medical Plaza, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Cliff took her home and cared for her until her death in late July 2009. Cliff and Marijo loved the Peninsula and the Northwest coastline. They were avid campers and enjoyed the comfort of their fifth-wheel RV. Cliff loved his animals. He was known as much for his two huge rescue dogs, Howie and Moose, who became reluctant local “celebrities” in 2010, due to a publicized poisoning attempt upon them. He also had three rescue cats. Cliff enjoyed horseback riding. In the late 1960s-early ’70s, he belonged to the Petaluma Riding and Driving Club. Also during that time he was a volunteer Firefighter for the city of Cotati. Leisure interests also included antique and muscle cars, Warbird airplanes and reading historical fiction. He played football in high school and continued to enjoy the sport throughout his life.

‘I’m going to just hold your hand’ Airline idles 80 jetliners after mishap By Terry Tang

The Associated Press

PHOENIX — Flight attendants had just begun to take drink orders when the explosion rocked the cabin. Aboard Southwest Flight 812, Shawna Malvini Redden covered her ears, then felt a brisk wind rush by. Oxygen masks fell, the cabin lost pressure and Redden, now suddenly lightheaded, fumbled to maneuver the mask in place. Then she prayed. And, instinctively, reached out to the stranger seated next to her in Row 8 as the pilot of the damaged aircraft began a rapid descent from about 34,400 feet in the sky. “I don’t know this dude but I was like, ‘I’m going to just hold your hand,’” Redden, a 28-year-old doctoral student at Arizona State University, recalled Saturday. Her Phoenix-to-Sacramento flight Friday was forced into an emergency landing at a military base in Yuma, Ariz., with a hole a few feet long in the roof of the passenger cabin. No serious injuries were reported among the 118 people aboard, according to Southwest officials. What caused part of the fuselage to rupture on the 15-year-old Boeing 737-300 was a mystery, and investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board arrived in Yuma on Saturday morning to begin an inquiry. NTSB board member Robert Sumwalt said investigators were

Plots and slights in a Microsoft partnership Paul Allen writes of hard feelings toward Bill Gates By Miguel Helft

The New York Times

SAN FRANCISCO — Paul Allen, the Microsoft co-founder, may be one of the world’s richest men, with a fortune pegged at $13 billion. But he still resents his former partner, Bill Gates, for not sharing enough credit or giving him his due financially. In a memoir due out this month that is tinged with bitterness and regret, Allen accuses Gates of whittling down his ownership in the company and taking credit for some of his contributions. The accusations surprised some in the small circle of early Microsoft alumni, as Gates and Microsoft Corp.

The view from aboard a log ship Asian tradition prevails among officers, crew THE VIEW FROM one of the log ships that visit the Port of Port Angeles is certainly different onboard. I had the privilege of visiting the 580-foot STX Pioneer as she took logs aboard at the port’s Terminal 3 last week. The Panamanianflagged vessel was in port until early Wednesday morning, taking on 2.5 million board feet of debarked logs for delivery to the port city of Lanshan, China. But first the log ship made her way to Tacoma, where her Port Angeles cargo was topped off with an additional 2 million board feet or more of logs bound for the Far East. Grant Munro, known to many as a former member of the Port Angeles City Council, has worn many hats in the timber industry since he received his master’s degree in forest management from the University of Washington in 1971. In 2003, Grant formed a company, Munro LLC, which purchased the logs that were loaded onto Pioneer. Grant said according to state and federal law, logs for export must come off private lands. Munro LLC acquires its logs through a number of sources that runs the gamut from timber sales and tribal lands to the landscaper who calls in a selfloading log truck to remove a small stand of trees from a client’s front yard. Pioneer is operated by STX Pan Ocean, a company that owns 86 ships and charters an additional 308 vessels for its worldwide sea transportation business that is overseen from offices in Seoul, South Korea. On Tuesday morning, I went aboard the log ship with Grant, and he introduced me to the third officer, Chol SooJong, who took us on a tour of the ship. Chol is 23 and has been aboard Pioneer just shy of a year. He said that for the entire time he has been assigned to the ship, Pioneer has been transporting logs from the Pacific Northwest to various ports in

ON THE WATERFRONT China. Chol Sellars took us up through the interior of the superstructure until we reached the bridge. From there, Grant and I got an eagle’s view of Port Angeles and witnessed from above the hubbub around the port that goes along with a ship being loaded with cargo. We spied logging trucks running a loop from Peninsula Plywood to the docks, where the debarked logs were lifted off by the port’s log loaders and nested in log bunks adjacent to the ship while the trucks returned to PenPly for another load. Longshoremen set the rigging around the nested logs, which were then hoisted aboard ship and stowed into her holds. This process went on hundreds of times until all of the contracted logs were loaded. We spent a few minutes on the bridge where Chol — who no doubt at times wished Grant or I spoke a little Korean, the working language aboard ship — explained that although the ship has billets for 25 officers and crew, the ship was currently being operated with a complement of 21 — 15 Korean and six Chinese. At some point Grant drifted off to take care of business, and Chol and I wandered through the different spaces. We went through the galley which separated two dining areas, one for the crew and the other for the officers. Preparations for the noon meal were under way, and looking at the various items laid out on the work surfaces, I was mystified as to what was on the menu. After a visit to the

A couple of things worthy of note: ■ Within the ship’s office is a well-used bulletin board — and the first two items listed were the phone numbers of two Port Angeles pizza parlors. ■ I also found it interesting that the crew members adhered to the Asian custom of not wearing shoes inside residences. In roaming about the ship it was easy to pick out the berthing compartments — they had shoes sitting in front of the door of the occupant’s home away from home.

SEATTLE — Tourism promoters have a message for hotel owners, shopkeepers and small-town tourist bureaus lamenting the closure of the state tourism office: Get over it. “Bottom line, the governor did not include tourism in the budget — there is no funding,” George Schweitzer of Red Lion Hotels told a group of about 500 gathered Thursday for a tourism-industry summit at a SeaTac hotel sponsored by the Washington Tourism Alliance. The new trade group was organized by Seattle’s and Spokane’s convention and visitors bureaus, the Port of Seattle, the Wash-

ington Lodging Association and others. “After June 30,” Schweitzer said, “we’ll have to come up with our own solutions.” Short-term, the group is working with the state to maintain the tourism office’s website and staff a call center. Longer-term, many expect some sort of a public/ private partnership to evolve, with the trade group shouldering the major responsibility for raising money to support tourism promotion. One idea is to approach the Legislature with a plan similar to that used in California and other states to raise funds for tourism promotion. Restaurants, hotels, attractions and retail busi-

Memoir: Plotting alleged by co-founder founder of Facebook, by Eduardo Saverin, a Facebook co-founder and Zuckerberg’s Harvard roommate, over Saverin’s reduced role and diminished stake in the company.

Continued from C8 Raburn added that Allen played an integral role in the company’s early days, and that “Bill has gone out of his way to acknowledge that.” In the excerpt, Allen also takes swipes at Steven Ballmer, whom Gates recruited as Microsoft’s first business manager in 1980 and who replaced Gates as chief executive in 2000.

‘Lowball’ stock offer

Overheard plot Allen writes that in December 1982, after he learned he had Hodgkin’s lymphoma, he overheard Gates and Ballmer plotting to rob him of his due. “They were bemoaning my recent lack of production and discussing how they might dilute my Microsoft equity by issuing options to themselves and other shareholders,” Allen said. Allen said he burst into the room and confronted the two men, shouting: “This is unbelievable! It shows your true character, once and for all.” Allen said that they later apologized, but that he had already decided to leave the company. Allen’s book, Idea Man: A Memoir by the CoFounder of Microsoft, is being published by Portfolio/Penguin, an imprint of Penguin Group USA. In a statement, Gates said: “While my recollection of

The cover of the memoir by Paul Allen, a co-founder of Microsoft many of these events may differ from Paul’s, I value his friendship and the important contributions he made to the world of technology and at Microsoft.” A Microsoft spokesman said Ballmer declined to comment. Allen, through a spokesman, declined to answer questions about his book. The spokesman, David Postman, said the memoir was not meant to be an attack on Gates. “We are going to let the excerpt that is out there stand, and hope that people take the time to read the book and get the full picture,” he said. The bitterness and sense of betrayal echo more recent complaints against Mark Zuckerberg, the youthful

In a series of recollections that paint Gates in an unflattering light, Allen said that after he decided to leave, Gates made a “lowball” offer of $5 a share for Allen’s stake in Microsoft. Allen asked for at least $10 a share, and Gates refused. That decision eventually turned Allen into a billionaire. “From the time we’d started together in Massachusetts, I’d assumed that our partnership would be a 50-50 proposition,” Allen wrote earlier in the excerpt. “But Bill had another idea.” During Microsoft’s early years, Gates pressured Allen to reduce his stake to 40 percent and later 36 percent as Gates’s own stake rose to 60 and then 64 percent, Allen wrote. “Bill knew that I would balk at a two-to-one split, and that 64 percent was as far as he could go,” he wrote. Stephen Manes, coauthor of the book Gates: How Microsoft’s Mogul Reinvented an Industry — and Made Himself the Richest Man in America, said that much of what Allen recounts in the excerpt, including the fact that his ownership of Microsoft was

Pilots must act quickly when air pressure is lost

Friday’s fuselage hole isn’t a first IN JULY 2009, a football-sized hole opened up in flight in the fuselage of another Southwest 737, depressurizing the cabin. The plane made an emergency landing in Charleston, W.Va. It was later determined that the hole was caused by metal fatigue. In response to that incident, Southwest changed its maintenance plan to include additional inspections, which FAA reviewed and accepted, said John Goglia, a former National Transportation Safety Board member and an expert on airline maintenance. The latest incident “certainly makes me think there is something wrong with the maintenance system at Southwest and it makes me think there is something wrong with the (FAA) principal maintenance inspector down there that after that big event they weren’t watching this more closely,” Goglia said in an interview. There was “never any danger that the plane would fall out of the sky,” Goglia said. “However, anybody on that airplane with any sort of respiratory problems certainly was at risk.” Four months before the July 2009 emergency landing, the Dallas-based airline had agreed to pay $7.5 million to settle charges that it operated planes that had missed required safety inspections for cracks in the fuselage. Southwest inspected nearly 200 of its planes back then, found no cracks and put them back in the sky.

The Associated Press

At an altitude of more than 34,000 feet, the Southwest pilots would have had only 10 to 20 seconds of “useful consciousness” to get their oxygen masks on or pass out, said John Gadzinski, an airline pilot and aviation safety consultant. “The higher you are the less useful consciousness time you have,” said Gadzinski, president of Four Winds Consulting in Virginia Beach, Va. “It’s a credit to the pilots that they responded so quickly.” A loss of cabin pressure just after takeoff knocked out the pilots of a Helios Airways Boeing 737 in August 2005. The plane flew into a hillside north of Athens in Greece, killing all 121 people aboard. In that case, an investigation found the pilots had failed to heed a warning that the pressurization system wasn’t working correctly. In this case, the hole and subsequent depressurization wouldn’t have affected the pilots’ ability to control the plane as long as they had their oxygen masks on, Gadzinski said. “The fact that you have a breach hole doesn’t affect the aerodynamics

Sucked from plane In 1988, cracks caused part of the roof of an Aloha Airlines Boeing 737 to peel open while the jet flew from Hilo to Honolulu. A flight attendant was sucked out of the plane and plunged to her death, and dozens of passengers were injured.

of the plane — the plane still flies exactly the same,” he said. Seated one row from the rupture, Don Nelson said it took about four noisy minutes for the plane to dip to less than 10,000 feet.

‘People were dropping’ “You could tell there was an oxygen deficiency,” he said. “People were dropping,” said Christine Ziegler, a 44-year-old project manager from Sacramento who watched as the crew member and a passenger nearby fainted. Nelson and Ziegler spoke after a substitute flight took them on to Sacramento. Brenda Reese described the hole as “at the top of the plane, right up above where you store your luggage.” “The panel’s not completely off,” she told The Associated Press. “It’s like ripped down, but you can see completely outside. “When you look up through the panel, you can see the sky.” Cellphone photographs provided by Reese showed a panel hanging open in a section above the plane’s middle aisle.

the FAA said in a statement released Saturday. Southwest officials said the Arizona plane had undergone all inspections required by the FAA. They said the plane was given a routine inspection on Tuesday and underwent its last so-called heavy check, a more costly and extensive overhaul, in March 2010.

Frame cracks An Associated Press review of FAA records of maintenance problems for the plane show that in March 2010 at least eight instances were found of cracking in the aircraft

frame, which is part of the fuselage. Those cracks were repaired, the records indicate. It is not uncommon for fuselage cracks to be found during inspections of planes that age, especially during scheduled heavy maintenance checks in which they are taken apart so that inspectors can see into areas not normally visible. The 737-300 is the oldest model in Southwest’s fleet, and the company is retiring 300s as it take deliveries of new models. But the process of replacing all the 300s could take years.

Pentagon wastes billions, audit says By Christopher Drew The New York Times

U.S. Navy/via The Associated Press

The guided-missile destroyer USS Barry launches a Tomahawk cruise missile from the ship’s bow off the Libyan coast last Tuesday. Each cruise missile costs between $1 million and $1.5 million.

U.S. cost for Libya at $550 million so far The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The military intervention in Libya has cost the Pentagon an extra $550 million so far, mostly for bombs and missiles, officials said last week. The figure is not a full picture of the price tag for the operation in that it does not include such money as pay for U.S. sailors, airmen and other forces, who would have been deployed somewhere in the world anyway, officials said. But it is the first official figure released on the cost of setting up the no-fly zone in the North African nation and protecting civilians from strongman Moammar Gadhafi as he resists a movement to oust him. Of the $550 million in added spending through Monday, about 60 percent was “for munitions, the remaining costs are for higher operating tempo” of U.S. forces and of getting them there, Kathleen Kes-

ler, a Pentagon spokeswoman, said Tuesday. As of Monday, the 10th day of the intervention, the U.S. had launched 192 longrange Tomahawk cruise missiles from naval positions in the Mediterranean Sea — at a cost of about $1 million to $1.5 million each. The U.S. also had flown 983 sorties, 370 of those bombing missions against Gadhafi military sites and forces and the rest for surveillance, refueling and so on.

$40 million a month The spending only addresses the U.S. part of the costs in Libya, where an international coalition has been operating and NATO is now taking over command. “Future costs are highly uncertain,” Kesler said. But officials estimate that they’ll see added costs of about $40 million over the coming three weeks as U.S. forces are reduced and

NATO assumes more responsibility for the operation started March 19, she said. After that, officials expect to spend about $40 million a month, “if U.S. forces stay at the levels currently planned and the operation continues,” Kesler said. With the U.S. already stretching to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan amid difficult financial times, the operation has drawn mixed opinions among lawmakers, including one who estimated last week that Libya could be a $1 billion campaign. The government already is operating on a series of stopgap spending bills for the current fiscal year amid the clamor to cut the budget, including defense dollars. The Pentagon has requested $553 billion for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, plus $118 billion in war costs for Iraq and Afghanistan.

found that most of the new programs were not “fully adhering” to the best procedures, leaving them “at a higher risk for cost growth and schedule delays.” Pentagon officials questioned some of the calculations. But Nancy L. Spruill, a Pentagon acquisition official, added in a letter to the auditors that the military was determined to “address cost growth where it is real and unacceptable.”

But with military budgets tightening, Gates has canceled several expensive systems and sought simpler alternatives. All told, the accountability office said, the projected cost of the Pentagon’s largest programs has risen by $135 billion, or 9 percent, to $1.68 trillion since 2008. It estimated that about

The New York Times

WASHINGTON — Take your pick: A $100 billion loss. A nearly $24 billion profit. A $100 billion profit. When it comes to calculating the bill for the government’s bailout of banks, insurers, automakers and the ailing housing market, the numbers have been all over the map. But last Wednesday, Treasury officials laid claim to an eventual $23.6 billion gain for taxpayers on the entire rescue program, despite doubts from skeptics about just how Washington crunched the numbers. Indeed, as late as Tuesday afternoon, accountants from Treasury and the Office of Management and Budget were at odds over how to calculate the gains the government made on once-troubled mortgage securities it acquired at the height of the financial crisis in 2008.

$100 billion profit As a result, on Tuesday morning the Treasury estimated it would show a $100 billion profit — but by late Tuesday that had been reduced to nearly $24 billion. Even that is debatable, however, according to lawmakers like Rep. Patrick T. McHenry, R-N.C., chairman of the House oversight committee’s bailout panel. “The estimates have been consistently off and Treasury has consistently changed the metric for success,” McHenry said in an interview on Wednesday. “In the beginning, they weren’t touting payback — they touted effectiveness. “Now, they are touting payback but ignoring the moral hazard this program has created.” Treasury officials say they are actually being conservative in their profit projections.

tries caught up in the crisis.” On Wednesday, the Treasury said that KeyCorp and SunTrust Banks repaid their bailout funds, helping the government claim a $6 billion profit on the bailout program for banks. The Treasury projects it will receive another $14 billion as hundreds of smaller banks repay their bailout funds.

Profit from AIG The Treasury is also claiming it will make a $12 billion profit when it winds down its 92 percent ownership stake in the American International Group later this year, although for now that is only on paper. It also assumes that large stake can be sold at current prices, even though unloading such a big position could depress its value. Those gains could also disappear if several big losses materialize. The Treasury projects the bailouts of General Motors, Chrysler and Ally Financial could cost it about $15 billion, while losses from the government’s beleaguered mortgage modification programs, like HAMP, could wind up reaching $46 billion.

But even if that roughly $24 billion estimate proves too optimistic, the trend still represents a major turnabout from the river of red ink critics predicted. The administration itself projected a $100 billion loss only a year ago. Why did the numbers move so wildly? For starters, asset prices improved as the economy rebounded. But some of the gains remain on paper, and profits that haven’t been booked have to be continually adjusted to reflect price swings in the market. Then there are the vagaries of government accounting, like how to properly value complex mortgage securities. What is more, the government’s financial rescue remains a political hot potato, drawing criticism from the left and the right, but Obama administration officials are naturally eager to portray it as a success, especially with a budget deficit of $1.5 trillion expected in 2011. “There is no historical precedent for a financial rescue this effective,” the Treasury secretary, Timothy F. Geithner, said in an interview Tuesday. “We are performing better than all expectations and ahead of the other coun-

So the only alternative was to take a prescription for the drug to a compounding pharmacy that produced individual batches of the drug for between $10 and $20 a dose. In February, the FDA granted KV Pharmaceutical exclusive rights to make Makena for seven years. KV subsequently priced Makena at $1,500 a dose and sent letters to compounding pharmacies warning of a potential FDA crackdown if they did not stop making their versions of the drug. The company’s actions triggered a furor — and put the FDA in an awkward position because it has no direct authority over drug prices. The agency reacted by announcing Wednesday that contrary to KV’s assertion, it wasn’t planning on blocking compounding pharmacies from making the drug, essentially encouraging patients to go that route to obtain it. In statements, KV defended its pricing as justified by research-anddevelopment costs.

$65 billion of that increase resulted from decisions to buy more of some systems, like mine-resistant vehicles and Navy destroyers, than had been planned. But it said the other $70 billion of increases appeared “to be indicative of production problems and inefficiencies or flawed initial cost estimates.” The auditors also found that a significant part of the total cost increase for nearly 100 programs came from just a few of the largest and oldest ones. The F-35, which is supposed to become the main fighter for the Air Force, the Navy and the Marines, had by far the worst problems. The Pentagon has revamped the program, led by Lockheed Martin, twice over the last year. It has budgeted an additional $6 billion for development, as well as the projected $28 billion increase in production costs, for a program that is expected to cost well over $300 billion. The report indicated that the Pentagon also had to spend $9 billion more on research and development to fix problems with satellites and other systems that had already entered production. The auditors said the biggest problems occurred when the Pentagon changed the capabilities it sought or started production before critical technologies were ready.

WASHINGTON — The drug company lambasted for increasing the price of a pregnancy drug from $20 to $1,500 a dose said it is cutting the revised price by more than half. KV Pharmaceutical of St. Louis said in addition to reducing the price of Makena, a drug that prevents women from giving birth too soon, it would expand financial assistance for women who could not afford the drug. It also said it was expanding rebates for Medicaid programs and believes its new pricing structure “will deliver net cost savings to Medicaid programs and private insurance plans in one year.” The reduction to $690 a dose came Friday, two days after the Food and Drug Administration publicly invited competition for the drug by announcing it would continue to allow socalled compounding pharmacies to make and sell a version of the drug. The drug, a synthetic form of progesterone commonly called 17P, is recommended for women at high risk of delivering prematurely. The drug is administered via injection weekly for about 20 weeks. KV Pharmaceutical’s price reduction puts the list cost of a full course of treatment at $13,800, effective immediately. That is down from $30,000 under KV’s old price, but still a sharp jump

from the $400 a woman could expect to spend if she had the drug made at a compounding pharmacy. More than 500,000 women worldwide give birth prematurely each year, and many of the babies don’t survive. Those who do are at increased risk for many health problems, including mental disability, cerebral palsy and autism. KV’s price reduction did not stem the controversy.

WASHINGTON — Despite improvements, more than half of the Pentagon’s big weapons systems still cost more than they should, with government auditors finding that management failures added at least $70 billion to the projected costs over the last two years. The Government Accountability Office, a Congressional watchdog, said the biggest program, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, accounted for $28 billion of that increase. Other systems also had significant cost overruns, the agency said, adding that the increases could force the Pentagon to cut the number of ships and planes it buys. The auditors said many of the problems occurred because the Pentagon began building the systems before the designs were fully tested. The findings were significant because Congress and the Obama administration have promised to change many of the practices that have long allowed weapons costs to spiral out of control. President Obama signed a law in 2009 to improve contracting. The accountability office said that Pentagon officials had done a better job in starting new programs. But the agency also

4 possible sites for lost Atlantis Theories mix science, coincidence Peninsula Daily News news services

ATHENS — The ancient Greek philosopher Plato wrote that Atlantis — everyone’s favorite lost island civilization — had been destroyed around 9,000 B.C. after its inhabitants attempted to take over Athens. Plato placed the island city-state near the modernday Strait of Gibraltar and claimed it “disappeared into the depths of the sea” in a single day and night, leading many to speculate that a tsunami destroyed it. Ever since Plato’s tantalizing hints, many a treasure hunter has gone in search of Atlantis, but nobody has ever definitively located it. Here are four possible locations, starting with the latest theory:

Spain Last month, a U.S.-led research team announced it had pinpointed an ancient city it believes to be Atlantis. Using a satellite image of a submerged site near Cadiz, in southern Spain, the researchers used radar and data mapping to survey the area, which they believe was flattened thousands of years ago. “This is the power of tsunamis,” said head researcher Richard Freund. Freund is particularly confident that he has found the genuine article because of his discovery of a series of nearby “memorial cities” built in Atlantis’ image by refugees who had fled the sunken island. The team is presenting its findings on a Discovery Channel special.

The New York Times

DENVER — Could airport security gardens be the wave of the future? (“Please have photo ID and boarding pass ready and walk past the rhododenrons.”) How about a defensive line of bomb-sniffing tulips in Central Park in New York? Or at the local shopping mall’s indoor waterfall, or lining the streets of Baghdad? Researchers at Colorado State University say they have created the platform for just such a plant-kingdom early warning system — plants that subtly change color when exposed to minute amounts of TNT in the air. They are redesigned to drain off chlorophyll — the stuff that makes them green — from leaves, blanching to white when

bomb materials are detected. “It had to be simple, something your mom could recognize,” said June Medford, a professor of biology at Colorado State, referring to the idea of linking a plant’s chemical response to its color, visible to the naked eye. The research, published in the peer-reviewed online science journal PLoS One, and financed mostly by the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security, said that plants are uniquely suited by evolution to chemical analysis of their environment, in detecting pests, for example.

study examining a variety of questions about newlyweds, also looked at other variables, such as problemsolving skills and stress levels of neurotic couples. Researchers were unable, however, to find correlations between satisfaction and those other variables, said Russell, a psychology doctoral student at the university. One theory for why the correlation between sex and marital satisfaction between these couples was so strong is that sex is improving their moods, she said.

Not surprising Because many people seek comfort and relaxation in sex, the findings of the study are not surprising, said David Yarian, a licensed clinical psychiatrist and certified sex therapist in Nashville, Tenn. Still, he warned, it’s important not to oversimplify the role of sex in the marital satisfaction of these couples.

“If someone were to bring that up in the first (therapy) session, it would be the beginning point of the discussion,” he said. “I would say, ‘So tell me more . . . like what is it you’re wanting to feel and what are you seeking and what’s it like when you and your spouse connect in this way? Do you talk more?’ “It’s a beginning point for a pretty long discussion.” Rather than encouraging people to have more sex, Yarian said it’s important to focus on quality. “I’m a therapist, so I talk to people, and every person’s story is unique — so studies that have findings like this are of limited applicability,” Yarian said. “Overall, the goal is to have highest quality of connection possible. “Our culture has a pretty limited way of thinking about this, so with frequency, more is better is seen as the bottom line. “I think it’s more complex than that.”

are growing sources of consumption — demand from an expanding Asian middle class; increased use by the U.S. ethanol industry; and speculation in futures contracts for grain and other commodities. Farmers intend to plant 92.2 million acres of corn this spring, 5 percent more than last year, the Agriculture Department estimated Thursday. Prices of corn and soybeans rose after the report. Analysts warned that even with more corn acreage, prices won’t drop back to their lower levels of six months ago. The government said earlier this year that corn reserves were at their lowest level in 15 years. Financial markets have been left jittery. Relatively slight declines in supply, from droughts and other short-term disruptions, can send prices jumping. “Stocks are going to remain very tight,” said John Sanow, a grain markets analyst with Telvent DTN in Omaha. Grain prices have reached their highest points

since the food crisis of 2008. The price of corn doubled since last summer, from $3.50 to more than $7 a bushel. Those high prices are encouraging farmers to plant more corn — but not enough to lower prices. The price of corn had fallen this week to about $6.60 a bushel. But after Thursday’s report, it shot up to $6.93 a bushel. Some of the increase in corn planting comes at the expense of this year’s soybean crop. Farmers intend to plant 76.6 million acres of soybeans. That’s down 1 percent from last year. Soybean prices rose 3 percent to close at $14.10. It can take months for grain prices to filter through to U.S. groceries. That’s because ingredient costs account for only about 10 percent of the price of the processed food Americans buy. The government estimated earlier this year that overall food prices would rise a little more than 3 percent this year.

Labor rally planned OLYMPIA — A “We Are One: Put People First rally of labor union members will be held at the State Capitol grounds on Friday, April 8. Participants are expected from a variety of unions, including members of the building Whetham trades, state, county and city employees, teachers unions and more. “The purpose of this rally is to state that we’ve had enough of the economic scapegoating directed at unions, and to raise a loud collective objection to the ‘starve and settle’ workers’ compensation proposals of compromise and release in Senate Bill 5566, and to demand that construction sector jobs be created through an increase in public works funding statewide,” said Lee Whetham, president of the AFL-CIO’s Olympic Peninsula Building and Construction Trades Council. Whetham said he believes the rally will be the largest state building trades rally since 2004. Some busing to the event will be available from Kitsap County for North Olympic Peninsula residents interested in attending. For more information, phone Whetham at 360683-7363.

WASHINGTON — The unemployment rate fell to a two-year low of 8.8 percent in March, capping the strongest two months of hiring since before the recession began. The economy added 216,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department said Friday. Factories, retailers, the education and health care sectors and professional and financial services all expanded payrolls. Those job gains offset layoffs by local governments. Another month of brisk hiring provided the latest sign that the economy is strengthening nearly two years after the recession ended. Private employers, the backbone of the economy, are driving the gains. They added more than 200,000 jobs for a second

“So, when things started happening — like Ryan telling me little lies about minor things — I wrote them off as unimportant. My gut was telling me otherwise, but I tried ignoring it, thinking I was just being insecure and something inside me was preventing me from being able to enjoy this wonderful thing that was happening to me.” Julie went to talk to a therapist about her trust issues. The therapist suggested that Julie and Ryan see her together. They did.

Coming

full circle Woman returns home to share love of nature with students, families

By Diane Urbani de la Paz

OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kristin Halberg has come home, to a place that is the same as it was back when she played in the woods â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but also different: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now an outdoor school called the Olympic Park Institute. As program director of the institute, Halberg is welcoming hundreds of children this spring to Lake Crescent, the stretch of Olympic National Park that shaped and inspired her through girlhood.

College in Port Angeles and then to the University of Washington in Seattle, where she was a creative writing and English major. After college, she and her dog went exploring across the West; she waited tables now and again to fund her forays. In 1994, Halberg settled down, as it were, in a job at Pacific Northwest Cellular, the Seattle company that would become T Mobile. She worked there for about a decade, moving up through the management echelons, buying a home in North Bend â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and ultimately deciding to go in a new direction.

Crescent childhood

Shift in priorities

Halberg grew up in the lakeshore house her grandfather, Ed, built, and graduated from nearby Crescent School in 1984. It was â&#x20AC;&#x153;idyllic,â&#x20AC;? she remembers. After high school, Halberg went to Peninsula

While at T Mobile, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew up,â&#x20AC;? Halberg says. Part way through, she started volunteering at the King County Crisis Line, and when she got more involved in that work her priorities shifted.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Corporate America and the business world and my own values were diverging more and more,â&#x20AC;? she remembers. Halberg left T Mobile six years ago, considered her options and enrolled at the Jesuit-founded Seattle University.

There, Halberg entered the executive leadership program, where she earned a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in business administration.

Halberg: Presented unmistakable authenticity Continued from 2 Halberg also has four brothers: Greg, Sean and Jim, who live in Port Angeles, and Rick, who teaches high school in Brentwood, Calif. Last August, when her sister came home to visit, Halberg did too — and while reunited with her family, she began to wonder if there was a way she could return home for good. Though she wasn’t a regular Craigslist.com checker, she looked at the site one summer day, and found a posting for the job of program director at Olympic Park Institute. Soon after, she started the application process, though not without qualms. “I did have moments of panic. My life has been in the Seattle area since 1994,” Halberg says. Still, deep down, “it just felt right.”

Fast forward Things progressed quickly: Halberg got the job in September, found a place to live on Crescent — an apartment above a garage that she calls her “lake loft” — and moved into her office Oct. 4. Among the dozens of applicants from around the country, Halberg presented an unmistakable authenticity, said Tom Sanford, Olympic Park Institute’s director. Halberg is joining the operation as it stands at the beginning of a new era, he added. The Elwha River Restoration project is under way, with the Elwha and Glines Canyon dams to be removed this fall, so students here “have a rare chance,” he said, “to watch an ecosystem in recovery. That’s a powerful message.” Olympic Park Institute is under the umbrella of NatureBridge, a nonprofit outdoor education opera-

On one recent day, two groups of sixth-graders, totaling 175 kids, came to Crescent from Hamilton International Middle School in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood. Their “big question” for this sunny morning was “Which came first: the soil or the forest?” The kids scampered around the slushy-floored woods, as Hamilton Principal Chris Carter supervised. The Olympic Park Institute program is set up well, he said, to give the kids a break from the haste of city life. They have time here, Carter added, get to know nature as well as one another.

For all families In addition to these school trips, Halberg says she is also working on Diane Urbani de la Paz/for Peninsula Woman funding for family outings, Kristin Halberg of Olympic Park Institute talks with young visitors to Lake Crescent about the “to serve every kind of fammyriad creatures living on and in the lake — including Cressie, the mythical monster some ily,” not just the affluent. suspect of lurking beneath the surface.

Anniversary

Wedding

Ashley and Zachary Bell Dick and Marie Goin on their wedding day.

Dick and Marie Goin today.

Bell — Whitney

The Goins Dick and Marie Goin of Port Angeles celebrated their 60th anniversary March 8. Dick Goin married Marie Fuchs on March 8, 1951, in Port Angeles. Mr. Goin worked as a supervisor for ITT Rayonier while Mrs. Goin

was a homemaker. Mr. Goin came to the Peninsula in 1937, and Mrs. Goin came in 1941. The Goins both volunteer for Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County; Mr. Goin volunteers for Olympic National Park and in the fisheries office for a

local tribe. Their family includes son Rick Goin and daughter Cheryl McCurdy, both of Port Angeles. Children, Micki Goin and Tom Goin, are deceased. The couple also have four grandchildren and two great-grandsons.

As time passed, Julie continued to see Ryan, but the mistrust started wearing away at her feelings for him. She couldn’t be comfortable with him sexually. She told him of her doubts. She told him about the things he was doing that fed them. He would change his behavior, but that didn’t satisfy

her. Was he just getting better at covering up? Finally, she broke up with him. She told him he deserved a woman who could trust him and love him completely. She couldn’t. “I’m in my 50s and still trying to learn about love,” she said. “Can men possibly change a lifelong set of behaviors? Is it best to follow your gut, even when there’s no real concrete evidence to support it?”

This week’s question: What activity gives you the most pleasure on a weekly basis?

“I really like sewing. It’s both creative and productive. “I make clothing and various gifts. I try every day to get a little sewing in. I can listen and sew at the same time. I’ve made quilts and table runners. “I have even entered them at the county fair. Yes, I’ve earned blue ribbons sometimes.”

“Shopping. It’s both exciting and enjoyable to find that perfect item. I like new stuff. I’ve bought makeup most recently. “Also, I play a computer game called ‘World of Warcraft.’ It’s a role-playing game. You meet people from all over the world, as you play with or against them. I play daily.”
