1 It’s the stupid economy. The year 2009 started off on bad momentum from the
recession that ended 2008. It was a bad year for the econ-
omy, which means it was a bad year for people.
Sadly, several retail busi-nesses folded — including the largest downtown Port Angeles department store, Gottschalks, as part of a chain-wide bankruptcy.
Unemployment in Clallam, always sensitive, darted into the double-digits, food banks had record numbers of clients, and government services and jobs were slashed as both state and local governments struggled with declining revenue in 2009.
But 2010 starts with some bright spots on the horizon. Many of them are on this Top 10 list, and projects now under way show up on next year’s Top 10 list.
2 A dark saga of vampire tales brings sunshine to the West End. Sales
receipts were up in Forks in 2009 because of tourism sparked by interest in the setting for Arizona writer Stephenie Meyer’s four-novel Twilight series about teen love, vampires and werewolves.
The best-selling books — Twi-light, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn — and two mov-ies based on the first two books,
drew thousands of tourists to Forks.
Not only was the second movie, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” a blockbuster which has brought in a whopping $276.5 million domestically and $636.7
million worldwide, the craze brought a 48 percent increase in lodging tax revenues for Forks alone.
Businesses in LaPush and Port Angeles, which also figure prominently as settings in the books and movies, also are enjoy-ing brisk business.
Expect more: The next movie in the saga is due for release in June.
3 The new PenPly begins to bloom on the Port Angeles waterfront. Res-
urrecting a legendary employer name in Port Angeles, Peninsula Plywood began accepting applica-tions for 105 jobs at the shut-tered plywood mill on Marine Drive.
The employees, who will be paid wages ranging from $12 per hour to $30 per hour, could be at work as early as mid-January, said PenPly president Josh Ren-shaw.
As 2009 came to a close, Ren-shaw said the company already employed 24 full-time staff mem-
bers, mostly administrators, and 15 temporary employees.
Renshaw’s plans are for the mill to produce about 1.8 million board feet of plywood per month, at first. The company’s goal is to eventually reach 5 million board feet monthly, with about 185 employees on the payroll.
4 Sequim woman first to use state’s assisted sui-cide law. In one of the
more emotional stories on the North Olympic Peninsula in 2009, a terminally ill Sequim woman became the first person in the state to die under the assisted suicide law was passed by voters in November 2008 and took effect in March.
Linda Fleming, 66, took her own life with a deadly prescrip-tion of barbiturates prescribed under Initiative 1000, also known as the “Death with Dig-nity” law.
Fleming was diagnosed last month with late-stage 4 pancre-atic cancer, according to Compas-sion & Choices of Washington, a
Seattle-based nonprofit advocacy group for ter-minally ill patients which announced her death.
Fleming died at her Sequim apart-ment with her daughter, her beloved dog, a Chihuahua named Seri, and her physician at her bedside.
“The pain became unbearable, and it was only going to get worse,” Fleming’s statement said.
“I am a very spiritual person, and it was very important to me to be conscious, clear-minded and alert at the time of my death.”
5 Everybody into the pool. Following a remarkable grass-roots campaign to
save William Shore Memorial Pool in Port Angeles, voters by a 2-to-1 landslide approved cre-ation of a new government agency to fund and oversee the former municipal plunge.
The new park district now taxes property owners in the city and unincorporated territory sur-rounding the city, parallel to school district boundaries.
The City Council said the city could no longer afford the pool’s $450,000 annual expenses and had set a timetable to close the indoor facility on Fifth Street — which would have happened had voters decided the other way.
Krista Winn, who led the Save the Pool PA campaign, said about 100 volunteers and more than 300 donors helped her with the election drive.
“I am proud of our community for taking a stance and showing that the pool is a valued part of our lives,” Winn said on election night.
6 You got the Sequim city manager job . . . uh, just a minute, please. Vernon
Stoner seemed like the ideal can-didate to fill the Sequim city manager post vacant for more than a year — after a City Coun-cil majority fired the previous manager.

Not only had he man-aged cities larger than Sequim, he held other impressive jobs — includ-ing the No. 2 position to the state insur-ance commis-sioner.
The City Council offered the $120,000-a-year position in Sep-tember, then withdrew it after a Peninsula Daily News investiga-tion revealed that Stoner was fired by Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler on June 15, and was named in a sexual harass-ment claim by his executive assistant there.
The state of Washington set-tled the woman’s claim with a payout of $50,000 on Aug. 31.
None of this had been told to the council, either by Stoner or the recruiting firm that the city had hired for $20,000 to find qualified city manager candi-dates.
“I wish the council well. That’s it,” Stoner said.
Finally, on Oct. 19, nearly 1½ years after the City Council abruptly fired former manager Bill Elliott, Steve Burkett of Edmonds began work as Sequim’s permanent city man-ager.
7 The (new) bridges of Clallam County. The year 2009 might be remembered
as the year of the bridges on the North Olympic Peninsula.
The biggest project was the nearly half-billion-dollar eastern half replacement of the Hood Canal Bridge (see Jefferson County highlights).
But Clallam and Port Angeles received three new and expen-sive spans that replaced rickety predecessors, including one that was condemned.
Two concrete bridges over Eighth Street in Port Angeles were opened Feb. 24 after drivers had to detour across the city for about 18 months.
The twin bridges project — which cost $21.6 million in state Department of Transportation grants and $3 million in city
funds — was expected to be fin-ished in November 2008, but wet weather delayed the application of a sealant into 2009.
Port Angeles officials finally opened the bridges to traffic Feb. 24 and finished the sealing work in June.
They span two 100-foot gorges — Valley Creek and Tumwater Creek.
In September, an eye-catching, double-deck span that carries the Olympic Discovery Trail hanging beneath an 85-foot-high automo-bile deck, was dedicated over the Elwha River.
The $19.7 million, 589-foot bridge — funded through a vari-ety of federal, state, county and
Lower Elwha Klallam tribal sources — replaced a rickety steel bridge that served the region from 1914 until 2007, when the old bridge was con-demned.
8The Gateway’s gate opens — finally. The opening of the multimillion-
dollar Gateway bus transporta-tion center at Front and Lincoln streets wouldn’t take a 2009 Top 10 position — it was supposed to be a 2008 story.
The bus station and large cov-ered pavilion, delayed because of a wall construction problem in the underground parking garage, finally opened in April.
It instantly became a popular venue for the weekly Port Ange-les Farmers Market, a street fair commemorating the premiere of a “Twilight” movie and the Dun-geness Crab & Seafood Festival in October.
The opening indirectly spurred a pride-in-downtown effort that included the painting of many commercial buildings and other beautification projects done by volunteers through busi-ness donations and discounts.
Entering into 2010, The Gate-way still isn’t finished behind the scenes.
The city of Port Angeles and Clallam Transit remained locked in a dispute with the contractor and architectural firm over costs related to the construction delays.
As of mid-December, The Gateway has cost $15.36 million, according to the city. About $8.1 million came from state and fed-eral sources, $500,000 from Clal-lam Transit and about $6.76 mil-lion from the city.
9 Sequim continues to grow and invest. Despite the recession, developers
continued building and investing in the Sequim and Dungeness Valley during 2009.
Chief among them: A Holiday Inn Express and conference cen-ter, an IHOP restaurant and a major face lift of the Town Square at Sequim’s central inter-section.
Construction of the nearly 35,000-square-foot Jamestown Medical Clinic alongside the Olympic Medical Cancer Center
got under way, as did Olympic Theatre Arts’ $1.6 million stage and playhouse renovation project.
And in November, Sequim vot-ers — recognizing the sales tax revenues that result from the town’s growth — approved a two-tenths-of-a-cent increase in the sales tax to help pay for street improvements.
10 A teenage tragedy. A grisly discovery unfolded around New
Year’s 2009: A 16-year-old girl, impregnated by a man more than twice her age when she lived in Colorado, allegedly drowned her newborn infant in a toilet and disposed of the body in a trash bin at her father’s Port Angeles home.
The death occurred Dec. 30, 2008, but authorities didn’t recover the child’s body until Jan. 5 — from a 30-ton trash bin in Tacoma.
Port Angeles’ trash is hauled from a west-side transfer station to Tacoma for eventual disposal in Eastern Oregon.
Lauryn L. Last, now 17, is scheduled to be tried as an adult for first-degree murder later this month.
Defense attorneys have argued that Last didn’t know she was in labor and that she went into shock after giving birth.
Meanwhile, the father, Greg-ory Greenway, 37, of Pueblo, Colo., was convicted last month of criminal attempt to commit sexual assault on a child.
In a plea deal, he received a four-year prison sentence instead of life under the original charges.

Top 10 Jefferson County stories of 20091 Hood Canal Bridge
opens, and closes — and opens and closes. During
a nearly $500 million replace-ment of the east half of the Hood Canal Bridge, the floating bridge — the lifeline between the North Olympic Peninsula to Seattle and points east — was out of service from May 1 to June 3.
Jefferson, Clallam and Kitsap representatives on June 6 gath-ered at Salsbury Point County Park on the Kitsap side of Hood Canal Bridge.
State Transportation Secre-tary Paula Hammond lauded the project, noting that the bridge was wider for the many bicyclists who rode across the new east
half for the ceremony.Now conspicuously missing is
the bulge portion of the old draw span, which a Canadian company towed away to Vancouver Island with the rest of the 1961 east half for reuse in a marina or pier.
For the record: The bridge offi-cially reopened to the public at 10:18 p.m. June 3.
But that wasn’t the end of it.Since then, western-half retro-
fit and testing has disrupted traf-fic. Ballast testing was originally expected to be finished in Decem-ber, but since has been extended to the middle of this month.
Until then, scheduled daytime drawspan openings stop traffic for up to 40 minutes each time.
And that doesn’t count the unannounced marine openings — usually for nuclear powered Navy submarines — that halt vehicles for 40 minutes to an hour, or the overnight work that can stop the flow of traffic for up to 90 minutes.
Still, what would we do with-out the bridge?
Olympia, anyone?
2 Tragedy in Quilcene: Was the fire a cover-up? The farmhouse on Boulton
Farm Road was home to members of a historic family in Quilcene.
So the March 18 fire which destroyed it with Patrick and Jan-ice Yarr inside was a shock to the
community.Even more
shocking was the discovery by investiga-tors that the Yarrs had been killed before the fire, which was intentionally set.
The investigators said bullet casings were found on the ground near the couple’s bodies.
Michael J. Pierce, 34, was arrested March 23 and has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder. Pierce also is charged with robbery, bur-
glary, theft of a firearm, unlawful possession of a firearm and theft.
His trial in Jefferson County Superior Court is schedule for this March.
3 The light at the end of the ferry route. Work began on the first of two
64-car ferries for the Port Townsend-Keystone route, which has depended on the 50-car Stei-lacoom II leased from Pierce County for one-ferry service since early 2008.
The long-working, and rusty, Steel Electric class of Washington State Ferries were banished from the route just before Thanksgiv-ing 2007.

They were sold for scrap and towed to Mexico last August.
In January, Todd Pacific Ship-yards, awarded a $65.5 million contract, began construction on the first 750-passenger ferry to be named Chetzemoka in honor of the revered Klallam chief who is buried in Port Townsend.
If all goes well, the Chetzemoka will be launched in August — an event that will be a likely candidate for this Top 10 list a year from now.
Todd Pacific is expected to begin construction on the second 64-car ferry this month after being the lone bidder and win-ning the $67.5 million contract. That ferry is expected to be com-
pleted in summer 2011.Meanwhile, the Steilacoom II,
not built for the harsh waves and currents of Admiralty Inlet, sometimes is docked for repairs or simply to wait out the weather.
State Ferries has used it to experiment with a reservation system — successfully enough that the agency will expand the RSVP system to other routes on Puget Sound in 2010.
4 The budget ax falls. It was another year of eco-nomic fallout in Jefferson
County, ending with county com-missioners in December approv-ing a $52.8 million overall budget
with 10 fewer staff positions and all county departments cutting more than a com-bined $1 mil-lion in expenses.
County Administrator Phil Morley,
who focused most of his first year as the county’s chief executive on cutting county costs, had no other choice but to enlist county department heads to help him leave vacant positions unfilled or restoring to layoffs and county service reductions.
Morley warned that more cuts were likely during 2010.
After laying off three in 2009, the county Department of Com-munity Development in 2010 plans a staff reduction of 3.8 full-time-equivalent positions. The department cut staff by eight in December 2008 and laid off three more in August 2009, the result of few building permits and flag-ging revenues.
Other hits to the county bud-get included Public Health, which closed Environmental Health on Fridays, cut Public Health nurse support to many mothers of newborns and cut family planning clinics by one day a week.
The county Sheriff ’s Office eliminated its undersheriff posi-tion, a deputy, a corrections offi-cer and an almost full-time data entry clerk.
But it added staffing fully funded by grant and contraction positions, including a community policing officer paid by federal stimulus dollars and a West End deputy paid by the Hoh tribe on contract. A sheriff ’s clerk was hired through a state grant for 2010.
In October, Washington State University Cooperative Exten-sion, which the county contracts for economic development and other services, reduced staffing and closed Fridays.

5 Ahoy! The Northwest Maritime Center opens. Those behind construction
of the Northwest Maritime Cen-ter’s Chandler Maritime Educa-tion Building threw its doors open Sept. 10 with praise to the many who helped build it, a cere-monial untying of boat rope knots and a resounding cannon blast.
Addressing about 200 gath-ered at the end of Water Street, Maritime Center Executive Director Stan Cummings recalled conversations with Carlsborg-based Primo Construction work-ers building the maritime center who he said called it a “once in a lifetime experience” of building
such a finely crafted wood struc-ture.
The 11,000-square-foot build-ing is about half of the $12.8 mil-lion center at the end of Water Street, overlooking Point Hudson Marina and Port Townsend Bay.
The Chandler Education Building proved to be a popular features of the 33-year-old Wooden Boat Festival, with new boat-building space and class-rooms for youths.
A pilothouse room being equipped to model a large ship’s bridge, shows navigation and communications equipment used at sea.
The other half of the $12 mil-
lion maritime center, the Heri-tage Building, is being completed for official opening early this year.
6 PUD takes first steps toward power authority. Jefferson County Public
Utility District and Puget Sound Energy went behind closed doors starting in June to privately negotiate PUD’s possible take-over PSE’s power system in East Jefferson County.
The PUD was acting on legal authority given to it by voters in November 2008 for a PUD-oper-ated, community-owned electric service.

Officials with both entities say they hope for a smooth transition from PSE to PUD electric service in Jefferson County should PUD’s elected commissioners decide to strike a deal.
The decision was somewhat sidetracked by the November death of District 1 PUD Commis-sioner Dana Roberts.
Remaining PUD commission-ers Wayne King of Gardiner and Ken McMillen of Kala Point have until mid-month to appoint Rob-erts’ successor to finish his term which ends Dec. 31, 2010.
PUD now serves more than 4,000 water and septic commu-nity septic system customers.
PSE has served East Jefferson
County for more than 100 years and has about 17,900 power cus-tomers.
7 From a “school” to a “commons” with a big dose of synergy. It began
last year as an elementary school campus at 1919 Blaine St. in Port Townsend.
It begins this year as a com-plex of public and nonprofit offices bolstered by Port Townsend’s police headquarters.
An interesting transaction between the Port Townsend School Board and City Council converted Mountain View into a new home for police and other functions while reducing the
financially strapped school dis-trict’s finan-cial burden.
By the end of 2009, Mountain View has become a real community center, says
Police Chief Connor Daily, a big advocate of people-based commu-nity policing.
Where else do police share the location with the city parks offices, city maintenance staff, Port Townsend Food Bank, YMCA and a radio station being
developed in Port Townsend — not to mention the town pool and a recreational gym?
“It’s absolutely awesome to see them here,” said Daily, whose office and department shares a space next to the YMCA.
“If you want to define ‘commu-nity oriented policing,’ come down and take a look at this — because this is it.”
8 A case of disputed juris-diction. In the highest-profile case involving tribal
jurisdiction in East Jefferson County in many years, Jefferson and Port Gamble S’Klallam tribal authorities enter 2010 in a
dispute over jurisdiction in Brin-non.
It stems from an Oct. 3 inci-dent in which three Brinnon hunters, all legally licensed an on private land with permission, were detained by law enforce-ment agents of the tribe’s natural resources department after one of the hunters killed an elk.
Brinnon, of course, is in Jeffer-son County — across Hood Canal and many miles from the Port Gamble reservation based in north Kitsap County.
The tribal officers said they thought the elk might have been poached on the tribe’s “usual and accustomed” grounds where hunting was prohibited.

Top 10 Jefferson County stories of 2009/continued
State Department of Fish and Wildlife inves-tigators deter-mine that the elk was legally shot and that the hunters were not trespass-ing at the time of the hunt or in subse-quently retrieving the elk.
Also, a timeline prepared by the state Department of Fish and Wildlife estimates that the hunt-ers were detained and hand-cuffed for approximately 44 min-utes as tribal officers investi-
gated the situation. One of the hunter’s 2-year-old
son watched his father cuffed and detained, a bone of conten-tion among the complaining hunters.
Jefferson County Sheriff Tony Hernandez has said the tribe was out of its jurisdiction in Brinnon.
And Jefferson County Prose-cuting Attorney Juelie Dalzell said she has not decided if her office will file charges in the case.
“All the investigating agencies have it, but it will still be awhile before I make a decision as far as charging goes,” she said in November.
9 A burning boat and a dramatic rescue. The crew of the Kemo Sabay, a
well-known 65-foot shrimp boat out of Port Townsend, hung on for dear life as the boat burned for hours in the Strait of Juan de Fuca off Protection Island on July 29.
A propane leak had exploded and started the fire.
Skipper Dorsey Moody and deckhands Corey Meehan and Tyler Westlund were hanging onto the hull when a fisherman on a smaller boat spotted the flames and came to their rescue.
Rob Sutherland maneuvered his 17-foot fishing vessel into
position. He said the fire consum-ing the Kemo Sabay was so hot it burned a hole in the canvas cov-ering his boat during the rescue.
“They were still in all their fishing gear,” Sutherland said of the three he rescued.
“They would have gone straight to the bottom. Thank God we were around.”
10 Border enforce-ment in Jefferson County. Although the
North Olympic Peninsula contin-gent of U.S. Border Patrol officers is based in Port Angeles, a con-siderable amount of operations — and opposition — occurred in East Jefferson County in 2009.
A series of protests came to an unexpected climax in July when pickets at a bus stop in Discovery Bay watched Border Patrol offi-cers board two Seattle-bound vans to check nationalities of those aboard.
There were no physical inci-dents, but a lot of picketing and vocal opposition.
“Shame on you,” one woman yelled.
The agents smiled and kept doing their jobs.
One lone Border Patrol sup-porter among the pickets — a man from Sequim — had his own sign and he yelled out: “Thank you for doing your job, Border Patrol.”

Top 10 Washington state stories of 2009by pAuL QueAryThe associaTeD Press
The savage early morning killings of four Lakewood police officers gunned down
in a suburban coffee shop was voted the top Washington state story of 2009 by editors of the state’s daily newspapers [includ-ing the Peninsula Daily News].
The massacre on the Sunday after Thanksgiving and the sub-sequent manhunt for the killer dominated headlines here and around the country until Maurice Clemmons, a parolee from Arkansas with a history of vio-lence, was shot to death by a Seattle patrolman fewer than 48 hours later.
Bloody two months
The Lakewood killings marked the worst of a bloody two months for police in Washington state.
The shooting of a Seattle police officer on Halloween night was voted No. 7.
On Dec. 21, two Pierce County deputies were badly wounded while responding to a domestic violence complaint near Eaton-ville, a story that broke too late to make the ballot.
The killings drove home the fundamental danger of police work, even at seemingly safe times.
The associaTeD Press
Police officers kneel at the caskets of four slain Lakewood officers during a memorial service Dec. 8 at the Tacoma Dome. The memorial was just a week after the officers were gunned down in a coffee shop before the start of their shift in what was the No. 1 Washington state story of 2009.

“What we are not trained for is people that are ambushing us,” Pierce County sheriff ’s spokes-man Ed Troyer said after the most recent shootings.
“We now know it’s going to be part of the job.”
The Top 10 Washington state stories of 2009 as determined in a poll of the state’s newspaper editors and news directors:
1 The law enforcement community mourns. The Lakewood slayings domi-
nated the voting, however, testa-ment to the story’s drama and heart-wrenching consequences.
The four officers, apparently chosen at random by the killer simply because they were in a coffee shop frequented by police, were attacked as they caught up on paperwork at the beginning of their shifts.
Together, Sgt. Mark Ren-ninger and Officers Ronald Owens, Tina Griswold and Greg Richards left nine children behind.
Richards managed to wound his killer.
Over the next two days, a net-work of relatives and friends helped Clemmons evade a mas-sive manhunt, bandaging him with duct tape and providing him with transportation and shelter, police said.
The hunt ended when a lone Seattle police officer stopped to investigate a stolen car and found himself face-to-face with Clemmons.
The patrolman opened fire, killing Clemmons before he could draw a weapon taken from one of the slain officers, police said
2 Domestic partnerships for the 21st century. Ear-lier in the year, opponents
of gay marriage forced a state-wide vote on the state’s new “everything-but-marriage” law expanding rights for gay couples.
The referendum narrowly qualified for the ballot, sparking a hard-fought campaigns.

In the end, strong support from liberal areas including King County swamped opposition in Eastern Washington and other conservative parts of the state.
3 Joblessness spreads its stain. Ranking third on the top stories list was the
growth of unemployment as the nationwide economic meltdown finally caught up with Washing-ton.
The state shed tens of thou-sands of jobs and the unemploy-ment rate climbed above 9 per-cent by late summer.
4 So long, P-I: News from the newspaper industry itself ranked fourth: The
Seattle Post-Intelligencer pub-lished its final paper edition on March 17 after 146 years.
Most of the newspaper’s reporters and editors were laid off while a comparative handful remained to publish online only.
5 The Dreamliner takes flight. The Boeing Co. made plenty of headlines
this year as it continued to strug-gle with the production and launch of its new 787 jetliner.
In October, the company con-firmed one of the region’s worst fears when it decided to build its second 787 production line in South Carolina.
In better news, the 787 made its maiden flights last month [with much of the route over the North Olympic Peninsula].
6 So bad, she doesn’t like it. Gregoire’s budget pro-posal for next year made
big headlines.It ranked No. 6 not just for
the deep cuts she was required to propose in offering a balanced budget, but because she immedi-ately disowned the plan and pledged to seek tax increases when the Legislature convenes in 2010.
7 Halloween night horror. Seattle Police Officer Timo-thy Brenton, 39, was fatally
shot as he sat in a patrol car Halloween night.
Officer Britt Sweeney, 33, escaped serious injury in the attack.
As Bren-ton’s memo-rial service ended a few days later, Seattle police shot and arrested Christopher Monfort.
Paralyzed from the waist down, Monfort, 41, is charged with aggravated murder.
8 When pigs fly over Washington state. The deadly toll of the swine flu
was the No. 8 story of the year as more than 60 people died after the disease took hold in the state in September.
9 The fountain of youth. The return of Ken Griffey Jr. to the Seattle Mariners
ranked No. 9. Although slowed by age and
injury, Griffey remained a big draw for fans, and his leadership helped the team go 85-77 after its disastrous 2008 season.
10 The day the earth moved. Rounding out the Top 10 was the
landslide that shoved a quarter-mile of State Highway 410 into the Naches River in early Octo-ber.
It uprooted homes and forced the river into a new course.

Bottom 7 Washington state stories of 2009EDITOR’S NOTE: One of the
annual features of this review of the previous year is Associated Press correspondent Nicholas K. Geranios’ irreverent look at the Bottom 7 around Washington state.
Here are his “lowlights of 2009”:
by niChoLAs k. GerAniosThe associaTeD Press
Scandal reared its busty bosom across Washington in 2009, as scantily-clad baristas made news from Everett to Belle-vue to Spokane.
Many communities grappled with complaints filed by citizens who were not amused by the antics of buxom baristas who prepared lattes and mochas while wearing a bikini — or less.
The resulting conflicts were among the major lowlights of 2009, proving the Evergreen State takes a backseat to nobody in the category of public embar-rassment.
7 Steamier espresso. Lewd behavior by some racy cof-fee steamers in the Everett
area prompted the Snohomish County Council to demand that such espresso stands register as adult entertainment venues.
That was after five baristas were arrested for prostitution for charging customers up to $90 to touch their breasts and buttocks at one stand.
Meanwhile, the Yakima City Council cracked down on barely clad baristas by passing a law that prohibited “cleavage of the buttocks,” see-through clothing or a G-string in any public busi-nesses.
In Spokane, the employees of Busty’s Top Espresso saw a spike in business when they began wearing bikini tops in the spring.
The manager said they used to get 20 customers per day, but now get 20 customers every cou-ple of hours.
About 95 percent of the cus-tomers are men.
6 Mr. Miyagi, we have a problem: In November, a man who thought he was a
ninja was impaled on a metal fence in Seattle when he tried to leap over it.
The man insisted to police that he was simply a martial art-ist trying to perfect his craft.
Officers said the man was “overconfident in his abilities,” and that alcohol likely played a role.
5 When a parent confer-ence just doesn’t do: A kindergarten teacher in the
West Valley School District near Yakima was reprimanded in May for sending a 5-year-old student home with a bag of feces in his backpack.
The boy’s father said his son came home with the plastic bag of feces and a sticky note that read, “This little turd was found on the floor in my room.”
The boy was moved out of teacher Sue Graham’s classroom.
4 Natural K-9. A dog that ran away from its owner in Seattle’s Seward Park
found and ate some dried mari-juana and got high.
The owner said the 11-year-old black Labrador retriever mix named Jack was “just stoned.”
3 ’Scuze me while I kiss the wrecking ball. A small home associated with
guitar legend Jimi Hendrix was dismantled in March after pres-ervation efforts failed.
Hendrix lived in the house in Seattle from age 10 to 13 in the 1950s, and it was the first real home the struggling family had.
2 Like a rock. In May, state troopers arrested a couple suspected of damaging at
least 14 vehicles by throwing rocks onto them from a trestle over Interstate 5 near Lakewood.
Troopers said Joshua N. Sizemore, 23, and Amanda L. Madison, 18, were tossing base-ball-sized rocks. Madison was in
her underwear when arrested. Investigators say the couple
was playing a game in which Madison would shed a layer of clothes for every left headlight they busted. The same rule applied to Sizemore and right headlights.
The game caused no major injuries.
1 In plain sight. Fugitive Maxi Sopo was having such a good time while hiding in
Cancun that he started posting Facebook updates.
“LIFE IS VERY SIMPLE REALLY!!!!” Sopo wrote on June 21. “BUT SOME OF US HUMANS MAKE A MESS OF IT . . . REMEMBER AM JUST HERE TO HAVE FUN PAR-TEEEEEEE.”
The posting was read by fed-eral investigators, and Sopo’s fun came to an end.
He was arrested by Mexican authorities on a warrant for defrauding banks in the Seattle area.

Top 10 nation/world stories of 2009by dAvid CrAryThe associaTeD Press
The convoluted American economy — restoring windfalls to a lucky few while leaving mil-lions jobless and distraught — was the top news story of 2009, followed closely by the inaugura-tion of President Barack Obama, according to U.S. editors and news directors voting in The Associated Press’ annual poll.
The economy, which has superseded other issues as Amer-icans’ No. 1 concern, received 61 first-place votes out of 117 ballots cast for the top 10 stories.
[The Peninsula Daily News participated in the poll.]
Here are 2009’s top 10 stories of the nation and world as voted by the U.S. editors and news directors:
1 Economic tough times. Despite a $787 billion fed-eral stimulus package,
much of the U.S. economy contin-ued to sputter throughout the year.
The jobless rate topped 10 percent, scores of banks failed, the federal deficit tripled to a record $1.4 trillion, and stocks fell to their lowest levels since 1997 before rallying.
Yet investment banks’ profits surged, triggering public anger and efforts in Washington to crack down on Wall Street bonuses.
The associaTeD Press
Barack Obama, joined by his wife, Michelle, takes the oath of office from Chief Justice John Roberts to become the 44th president of the United States at the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Jan. 20.

Top 10 nation/world stories of 2009/continued
2 A new White House occupant. Inauguration Day in January was a mov-
ing moment for many Americans, as the nation’s first black presi-dent took the oath of office.
But Obama soon confronted the sobering realities of govern-ing as he struggled to get the economy back on track and win support for his ambitious legisla-tive priorities.
3 Health care and parti-sanship. A sweeping over-haul of the U.S. health care
system, extending coverage to millions of Americans now with-out it, was a top priority for Obama and majority Democrats
in Congress. But Republicans were almost
unanimously opposed, leading to complex, bitterly partisan show-downs in both chambers.
4 Automakers stall: It was an immensely challenging year for America’s Big
Three automakers. General Motors and Chrysler
filed for bankruptcy, GM’s CEO Rick Wagoner was ousted by the government, and Chrysler was pressured into an alliance with Italy’s Fiat.
Ford avoided bankruptcy, but its worldwide sales — like its competitors’ — fell sharply.
5 Swine flu across the globe. Swine flu struck tens of millions of people
worldwide, worrying govern-ments as supplies of vaccine failed to meet demand.
In the United States, accord-ing to federal authorities, swine flu sickened an estimated 50 mil-lion people, hospitalized close to 200,000 and killed 10,000.
6 A war escalates. Casual-ties on all sides mounted as U.S. forces, with their Afghan
and NATO allies, battled the resil-ient Taliban in Afghanistan.
President Obama, after lengthy deliberations, opted to send 30,000 more troops.

His decision was complicated by the disputed Afghan election, which prompted allegations of widespread fraud but resulted in President Hamid Karzai taking office for a second five-year term.
7 The “King of Pop’s” last dance. Michael Jackson died at the age of 50, trig-
gering grief and nostalgia among his legions of fans around the world.
His doctor became the focus of a Los Angeles police homicide investigation after telling investi-gators he administered propofol, a powerful operating room anes-thetic, to help the pop star sleep.
8 Rampage at an Army fort. An Army psychiatrist, Maj. Nidal Hasan, was
accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood, a sprawling military base in Texas, before being seri-ously wounded by police gun fire.
Investigations were launched to determine if authorities missed warning signs that might have prevented the rampage.
9 The last Kennedy brother. Sen. Edward Kennedy, who carried on
the family legacy after the deaths of his three older brothers, died of brain cancer after a distinctive political career filled with highs and lows.
Though his own presidential aspirations were thwarted, he earned bipartisan respect for decades of hard work in the Sen-ate.
10 Miracle on the Hudson River. A US Airways passen-
ger jet, both its engines disabled, made an emergency ditching in the Hudson River, and all 155 on board survived in what was dubbed “The Miracle on the Hud-son.”
The veteran pilot, Chesley Sullenberger, was hailed as a hero for averting a disaster.

Passings: Notable deaths of 2009The associaTeD Press
Of all the notables who died in 2009, the one who most changed the world could have walked down any Main Street USA with-out causing a stir.
Scientist Norman Bor-laug, who died Sept. 12 at age 95, developed crops that enabled Third World farmers to wrest more food from their land.
His “green revolution” was credited with averting global famine — and won him a Nobel Peace Prize.
Sen. Edward M. Ken-nedy and his sister, Eunice
Kennedy Shriver, were born into America’s pre-eminent political family and spent decades living up to its tradition of ser-vice.
Michael Jackson helped create his own family dynasty, this one rooted in show business, as the lead singer for The Jackson 5 when he was just a child.
He grew up to become one of entertainment’s most influential and con-troversial figures as the “King of Pop,” and his death at age 50 was as mystifying as his life.
They are just four of the
men and women of achievement who died in the past year.
Here is a roll call of some noteworthy people who died in 2009. (Cause of death cited for younger people if available.)
