self-employed managing aday care and later offeringhouse cleaning and jani-torial services. When herkids were grown, Ander-son turned her attention toworking with seniors andran an adult family home.She relocated to Port Or-chard a few years ago, andthe job with Martha &Mary seemed like a naturalfit for her skills.

“I just love doing thiskind of work,” she said.

Anderson believes thelife experience she bringsto her job helps her connectwith elderly clients in waysyounger caregivers can’t.When a client reminiscesabout days gone by, she canrelate.

“I can go back in timewith them,” she said.

With Walls, the memo-ries go back a century. Thelifelong Port Orchard resi-dent grew up on PotteryHill and attended the Uni-versity of Washington. Heran a shop at the Bremer-ton shipyard, worked for apower company and fishedforsalmononPugetSound.

Walls’ parents built thehome where he now livesin an orchard overlookingSinclair Inlet. The orchardhas been replaced with acrush of waterfront hous-es,but theviewfromWalls’favorite leather chair re-mains much the same.He can look out througha picture window and seeferries glide by and watchherons stalking in the shal-lows.

“I love the window,” hesaid.

Anderson, one of Walls’three regular caregivers,maintains a steady routine.She helps him dress eachmorning and spreads hisnewspaper on the kitchen

table. After breakfast, shemoves Walls to his chairin the living room. Whenhe gets tired, Andersontenderly lifts him into bed.She stays busy as he sleeps,cleaning the house andreadying meals.

Anderson has yet to en-counter a domestic crisisshe couldn’t handle. A fewweekends ago a suddenstorm blew through the

county and flooded thebasement of Walls’ housewith rainwater. Andersonscrapped up a hose andpump and kept the waterat bay, while periodicallyrunning back up the stairsto check on Walls.

“She’s a good person tohave around,” Walls said.

Anderson expects tobe around a long time, ad-hering to her regimen of

constant motion. A cancerdiagnosis three years agohardly slowed her down.She kept working duringher treatment. It only wasat the height of her chemo-therapy that she relentedand took a week off. Doc-tors wondered at her resil-iency.

“Takes a licking andkeeps on ticking,” Ander-son said proudly.

Anderson’s gusto isn’tlimited to her work. Shewent sky diving on her 75thbirthday and plans to goagain on her 85th. Jumpingout of an airplane gave asudden release to a womanwho’s devoted a lifetime toserving others.

“It was beautiful,” An-derson said. “It was likeI’d grown wings, and I wasflying.”

The European Unionon Wednesday demandedthat Starbucks and Fiat re-pay up to $34 million eachin back taxes, signaling thestart of a broad crackdownon favorable tax deals formultinationals.

“All companies, big orsmall, multinational ornot, should pay their fairshare of tax,” E.U. antitrustCommissioner MargretheVestager said, as she an-nounced that the Dutchgovernmentmustclawbackmoney from the U.S. coffeechain and Luxembourgfrom the carmaker.

Multinationals in Eu-rope pay taxes in the coun-try where they have theirregional headquarters, andcountrieshavelongcompet-edtolurethebigcompanies.

Thathasresultedinsomeoffering advantages that al-low companies to pay verylow tax overall. It has be-come a big political issue as

citizens in many Europeannations are forced to tight-en their belt because of theweak economy while somemultinationals get awaywith huge tax breaks.

Even among businesses,small companies are un-likely to get the same taxadvantages multinationalscangetandclampingdownonthepracticecouldcreatea more level playing field.

The E.U.’s executivebranch, the Commission,has been tightening theloopholes in E.U. law andVestager underlined that itis investigating similar taxpractices in all of the bloc’s28 nations.

Wednesday’s rulingwas the first big decisionto emerge. It could causedozens, even hundreds, ofcompaniesthataresuspect-ed of having tax deals withE.U. states to have to revisetheir taxsetup.Probeshavealready been launched intocompanies such as Appleand Amazon.

“Wedonotstophere.Wecontinue the inquiries intotax rulings,” Vestager said.“More cases may come ifwe have indications thatE.U. state aid rules are notbeing complied with.”

Vestager also said that

the Commission is mullingwhether to give more taxguidance to member statesand she raised the possibil-ity that binding rules couldbe imposed on companiesin the future.

Wednesday’s rulingmeans authorities in theNetherlands and Luxem-bourg have two months todothemathandstartrecov-eringbacktaxes—between$23 million and $34 million— from Starbucks Manu-facturing and Fiat Financeand Trade, which are enti-ties of Starbucks and Fiat.

Vestager said Fiat’s taxes“would have been 20 timeshigher if calculationshad been done at marketconditions.”

Starbucks said in an im-mediate reaction that itplans “to appeal since wefollowed the Dutch andOECD rules,” referring tothe Organisation for Eco-nomic Co-operation andDevelopment, a watchdogfor developed economies.Fiat Chrysler denied re-ceiving any state aid fromLuxembourg for its financ-ing branch. It said a deal itreached with Luxembourgwasaimedonlyatclarifyingpricing rules.

Both Luxembourg and

the Netherlands also madeclear they had objectionsto Wednesday’s ruling andcan appeal.

“The Netherlands isconvinced that actual in-ternational standards areapplied,” the Dutchgovern-mentsaid ina first reaction.The government in Lux-embourg said it “does notconsider that Fiat FinanceandTradehasbeengrantedincompatible state aid.”

Vestager acknowledgedthat the parties have a rightto appeal. “It’s a Union oflaw, so perhaps we willsee each other in court,”she said. Under E.U. law,the Commission can onlyorder the recovery of stateaid plus interest. Were thetwocases togotocourt, thejudges could order that ad-ditional fines be paid.

The issue of sweet taxdeals has proved particu-larly embarrassing to thepresident of the EuropeanCommission, Jean-ClaudeJuncker, who was a long-serving prime minister ofLuxembourg. Juncker hasdenied being a part of theproblem. “I have never giv-en illegal tax instructions,”he told E.U. lawmakers lastNovember. “Don’t depictmeasafriendofbigcapital.”
