POLICE MAKE ARRESTS IN COUNTERFEIT MONEY CASE On March 10, 2010, the Port Angeles Police received information that Nathan Wayne Terry, age 21, from Port Angeles, was in possession of counterfeit U.S. currency. The investigation of this information eventually led to his arrest and the identification of additional suspects. Based on additional facts uncovered in the case, the Port Angeles Police Department (PAPD) obtained a search warrant for a residence in the 1300 block of East Front Street . On March 12, PAPD Officers and Detectives (with the assistance of OPNET Detectives) served the search warrant.
Officers found at the residence three firearms, some narcotics, marijuana, a quantity of counterfeit $20 bills, and a non-counterfeit $20 bill with the same serial number as the counterfeit bills. Estene Marie Pass, age 41, from Port Angeles, was arrested and booked into jail for Unlawful Possession of Controlled Substance (methamphetamine) and Forgery (possession of counterfeit money). Michael Harry Lyman, age 49, from Port Angeles, was arrested and booked into jail for charges Forgery (possession of counterfeit money) and three felony counts of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm.
PAPD Detectives believe that a quantity of counterfeit $20 bills, maybe as much as $4,000, have been circulating in the Port Angeles area. Merchants and other persons receiving $20 bills are asked to check the bills and report any suspicious currency immediately to the Port Angeles Police Department

CITY CUSTOMERS CAN QUALIFY FOR THOU$AND$ IN REBATE$ Posted March 9, 2010 - City of Port Angeles Electric Utility customers can potentially receive thousands of dollars in rebates from the City's Weatherwise Service program to help them save energy and money by adding insulation and replacing old windows and glass doors.
The City offers rebates of up to 85 cents per square foot to add insulation to attics, walls, and crawlspaces; and rebates up to $6 per square foot to replace windows and glass sliding doors. When combined with other incentives for efficiency measures such as replacing electric strip heating with a heat pump, City customers could potentially receive thousands of dollars per household in rebates for combining a series of conservation measures.
“The program's goal is long-term energy savings, and customers who take part will likely see an increase in their home's comfort right away,” said Bob Kajfasz, the City's Weatherwise Service Administrator.
Adding insulation is in many cases the single most cost-effective addition a customer can make to cut heating bills. For example, by adding 1,500 square feet of R-49 insulation to an un-insulated attic, a customer could be eligible for a $1,275 rebate from the City, or about one-half of the total cost. Replacing 200 square feet of windows with newer, energy-efficient models could qualify a customer for a $1,200 rebate, which would cover 15 to 20 percent of the cost........
