‘River Center Rally’ replaces ‘Spring Fling’ Sequim Gazette staff

Participants in the Dungeness River Audubon Center’s activity-based monthlong fundraiser, formerly called ‘Dungeness Spring Fling,’ are gearing up to put their increased energy to good use. “Changing the name from ‘Dungeness Spring Fling’ to ‘River Center Rally’ doesn’t change our objective,” board member Julie Jackson said. Since 2009, participants have raised more than $108,000 to support the center’s educational programs and maintain Railroad Bridge Park at 2151 W. Hendrickson Road, Sequim. The Outdoor Fanatics start the fun this year at 7 p.m., April 23, at the river center, where river center Executive Director Powell Jones demonstrates the heights and depths of his passion for biking. Columbia Bank of Sequim is sponsoring these “shows” by obsessed hobbyists, who characterize themselves as “outdoor fanatics.” The four-part series also includes birding (with Denny Van Horn, April 30), hiking (with John Bridge, May 7), and driftwood sculpting (with Tuttie Peetz, May 14). Each of the Wednesday evening presentations will start at 7 p.m. at the river center. Admission is by donation to support the center and park through the River Center Rally. Each donation made between midnight and midnight on May 6, will receive a prorated portion of the matching funds from The Seattle Foundation. (The Seattle Foundation will “stretch” all donations up to $5,000 per donor, per organization.) To donate on May 6, go to www.seattlefoundation.org, find Dungeness River Audubon Center.

Jessica German holds up her Irrigation Festival button in front of the limo she won a ride in to lunch with friends. German, 10, made her mark recently by winning the 119th Sequim Irrigation Festival’s button design contest. She and her friends and family got a ride in a limousine courtesy of 7 Cedars Casino on April 10 to lunch at the Oak Table Cafe sponsored by Liz Parks, owner/broker of RE/MAX Fifth Avenue. After lunch, Jessica and her crew were dropped off at Sequim Middle School before a tour for next year’s classes as sixth-graders. For the contest Jessica used the motto “Mountains to Sea … A Pristine Place to Be” in her design. She was also the biggest seller of buttons with 240 to benefit the festival and promote it among the community. The festival is held May 2-11.

The anxiously awaited “Plow Day” is coming up this Saturday! If you’ve never attended one before, it’s worth a trip by the Pumpkin Patch at U.S. Highway 101 and Kitchen-Dick Road. A real history lesson, sometimes drama (if the 80-year-old machinery refuses to cooperate) and great oldfashioned socializing with friends you haven’t seen since the last “Plow Day.” The East end of rural Clallam County is at its best when these hard-working, community-minded citizens give their time & resources to a farm that needs the dirt turned. The Lasilla family welcomes the Sequim High School FFA to sell food and drink to raise money for the community park the group is planning.

breakfast for years and often discussed giving away some plowing. So the idea was “hatched” over bacon & eggs by members of the loosely formed “Sequim Collectors” Club, also known as “old iron.” These pioneers have deep roots planted in the area and thousands of volunteer hours were given during the span of five generations. This event is a copy of

the larger, slicker and more expensive ones around the the United States to celebrate the importance of the farmer. The first “Plow Day” was in 2006 on the old Evans Farm, then newly purchased by Chantelle and Bob Reandeau. It has been noted, Billy Stipe replowed parts of the field the next morning but the laughs, love and fun were worth it!

Carnival to stay on school grounds Director meets concerns, say other sites didn’t match same safety by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

but Kapetan said there’d be enough space for the carnival not to invade that area, too. Shea said working with the festival went great and he’s happy two of his three concerns were met. “They made incredible effort to relocate the carnival,” he said. “From what they explained to me there really wasn’t another place that could meet the needs they have with the carnival.” Shea said one stipulation for the land is that when it was donated to the City of Sequim and later to the schools, the site must remain accessible and allowed for the Sequim Irrigation Festival. “Is it the ideal spot? No, but it’s not detrimental,” Shea said. “My biggest concern was displacement of students and that’s not going to happen. With the carnival being there, we will make the best of it.” The festival’s carnival is one of the biggest fundraisers for the festival, Kapetan said, and that in the two years they’ve worked with Davis Carnivals their attendance has risen. She said the carnival also performs background checks on all its employees, too.

The Sequim Irrigation Festival carnival, seen in 2013, will stay on Sequim School District property after organizers of the festival attempted to find a better-suited site to not displace athletics and distract students. Sequim Gazette file photo

All-you-can ride festival bands are on sale now for $20 through Thursday, May 8, at Colors of Sequim, KeyBank, Sound Community Bank and Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce.

A few festival changes In an effort to generate interest and ease of access to events, organizers with the Sequim Irrigation Festival are changing a few things around for its events May 2-11. Kapetan said they specifically wanted to revamp the first weekend because so many events were happening on the second weekend of the festival. “It was hard for people to go to everything they wanted,”

Kapetan said. While most of the events remain intact, some were moved to another date to increase participation. • Festival organizers renamed the first weekend of the festival to Crazy Callen Weekend in honor of D.R. Callen, one of the pioneers of Sequim’s irrigation system. • The Crazy Days Breakfast has moved from the second weekend to the first on Friday, May 2, in the Sunland Golf & Country Club. It still starts at 7 a.m. • The Kids Parade, typically a few hours before the Grand Parade on the second weekend, has moved to May 3 with registration at 9:30 a.m. in front of Kettel’s gas

e c n a r a e l C

station. The parade begins at 10 a.m. Entries will walk to Sequim Avenue and through the Street Fair on Bell Street. Winners still receive a chance to ride in the Grand Parade the following Saturday. • The Merchants Fair has merged with the Kids Fair, formerly at Carrie Blake Park, to take place May 3 on Washington Street from Sequim Avenue to Second Avenue. Every booth will have a free family oriented activity. • For the second weekend of events, they’ve renamed it the Grand Finale weekend, which Kapetan said allows

more time for events like the Car Cruzz, Grand Parade and Dungeness River Run. On the Merchants Fair and Kids Fair merger, Kapetan said the people were choosing between one or the other and they wanted people to go to both. It was a similar situation for parents deciding on going to the Kids Parade or Grand Parade, Kapetan said, so they separated them. Entries for the Grand Parade remain open through May 1 at the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce or online at irrigationfestival.com.

After a tentative plan and months of effort to move the Sequim Irrigation Festival’s annual carnival from its Sequim School District site, organizers say the event is staying put on May 8-11. Deon Kapetan, festival director, said she and board members considered sites, namely Carrie Blake Park, for six months to move from the fields between Sequim High School and Helen Haller Elementary School. “As we searched for other sites, we were concerned for the safety of kids,” she said. “Police officers being able to see everything going on and at Carrie Blake Park it would have been nice to have it with logging show. But with the water features and amount of trees, it’d be difficult to monitor. It didn’t make sense to move it.” The request to move the carnival came from Sequim schools superintendent Kelly Shea. He said there were concerns with carnival workers camping behind the Sequim Boys & Girls Club and walking to and from the carnival. The carnival also remains a distraction for students during testing time for the elementary school, Shea said and it might impede on practice fields for the high school’s baseball and softball teams during playoffs time. However, Kaeptan said they’ve made a few changes to help alleviate the concerns. The carnival employees will no longer park and camp on school district property and instead be near the City of Sequim’s shop on South Second Avenue adjacent to the bypass. Dave Garlington, assistant city public works director, said they did this last year and it served as an out of the way place for trailers. Volunteers also installed a new fence for the varsity girls fastpitch squad this year,

Sequim mayor Candace Pratt, left, and the City of Sequim presented the first “Westcott Award” to Emily Westcott for her exemplary volunteer service to the city and the community. The award was presented at the city’s annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner held at the Guy Cole Center on Wednesday, April 9. Westcott often refers to herself as the “queen of the weed patrol,” recruiting volunteers and taking it upon herself to make sure the city looks its best. She works with the Sequim High School horticulture program to produce flower baskets that adorn the city throughout the summer and obtains sponsorships for the baskets to cover the cost. Along with a host of volunteers, Westcott decorates downtown for the holiday season making the city sparkle. She has served on boards of the Museum and Arts Center in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley, Olympic Theatre Arts, the Red Cross and the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce. “Emily works so hard and commits a great deal of her time to making Sequim beautiful, we wanted to recognize her in a special way by creating this award in her honor and making her the first recipient,” said City Clerk Karen Kuznek-Reese who manages the city’s volunteer program. The Westcott Award will be presented annually to a city volunteer in recognition of exemplary service. Submitted photo

New fitness studio opens in Sequim by PATRICIA MORRISON COATE

Gina Senz has returned home to her Sequim roots, bringing with her a love of fitness. She just opened her fitness studio Perfect Balance on March 3 and already is attracting clients from their 20s into their 80s. “I started doing Pilates for myself in 2000 and I really enjoyed it. My instructor encouraged me to start teaching, so I became certified in Pilates and as a personal trainer and TRX suspension trainer,” Senz said. “Pilates is a ‘mindful motion’ … You have to concentrate on the form, breathing and coordination to get the full benefit of the exercise.” Pilates is a group of exercises — up to 200, Senz estimated — developed by Joseph Pilate to focus on strengthening the core of the body. The arms and legs are used like levers for the abdominal muscles to make the core strong. “Pilates makes our core much stronger so it’s good for making muscles strong — long, lean, supple muscles,” Senz said. “With TRX suspension training, the body’s weight is used against the straps. For me, it’s challenging because you work your core but you have to stabilize yourself. You use balance and stability at every turn. I feel like a lot of the exercises are complementary to other activities people like to do like kayaking.” Senz offers up to seven sessions a day and it makes a good variety because she’ll do Pilates with some clients, then personal training or TRX

Each year on the first Saturday in May, the Pilates Method Alliance® (PMA)® celebrates Pilates Day. Pilates Day was created by the PMA® to promote awareness of the many benefits that Pilates Method brings to every age group and to promote healthy living.

said. “We’re a business who saw a good business opportunity. This made more business sense than anything I’ve looked at in a long time. The return is relatively high.” Ash received notification from the Washington State Liquor Control Board about his business’ Tropic Grow LLC, license on April 1 to grow up to about 2,800 marijuana plants inside his Dungeness barn. He anticipates the first growth being ready this summer for recreational retail locations. His long-term goal is to create a legacy through the business venture. “By being early in, I hope (the business) can last a long-time and be profitable and be something my descendants can take on,” he said. In the months leading up to Ash’s farm becoming a certified growing site, he worked with Clallam County to receive a conditional use permit. He said it’s one of the main reasons he was accepted so early in the process because he was pre-approved locally. For his business, he said the barn was thoroughly inspected by the state and he installed mandated cameras with infrared and recording abilities. He said in the time since he’s started the process, attitudes have begun to change about marijuana particularly the safety aspects particularly property crimes. “We have a block wall with

cameras everywhere so by the time you get in and have a plant, you’ll have your face on camera several times,” Ash said. “Once, you have it, what are you going to do with it?” The state also requires Ash catalogue all of his seeds and plants. He was given 15 days from April 1 to buy seeds from anywhere in the world before he must switch to only purchasing in the state. He bought multiple times seeds from Amsterdam.

Pedersen’s case was originally sent to the Clallam County prosector’s office with 11 Class C felony charges of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes via text messages, but the prosector’s office is attempting to charge him with five counts from March 1-23. For each charge, Pedersen could face up to five years in prison. He must register as a sex offender if convicted. Police followed up allegations that started with a

Ash said this doesn’t mean the top seeds will receive it necessarily but they will be the first to go through the inspection process. He only will be allowed to sell his product to the 334 licensed retail stores in the state. Currently, the City of Sequim has a moratorium on marijuana sales and then council restricted producing and processing in city limits. Ash said he is a Republican conservative businessman, but he doesn’t understand why the city council isn’t supporting how the state voted. “It’s hard to understand why elected officials are turning backs on people.

According to court documents, the student said Pedersen and the 15-year-old had sex, and he went to the girl’s house while her parents were out of town. The student also said she also saw the 15-year-old texting and using Snapchat, a video and photo application, with Pedersen.

A little over two weeks into growing, Ash has two small setups of lights and planters growing so far in one of his renovated barn’s rooms. His plan is to add a new overhead array setup once a month for a year with about 240 plants a month. “You have to start somewhere,” Ash said. “It’s trial and error. That’s how you learn.” He also has two rooms for flowering marijuana including a converted space formerly used to milk cows that need special attention and a tank room. The rooms are sealed to allow for 12 hours of light and darkness. Ash and his wife have been studying marijuana mostly from books. They made the decision to grow four types at a time but plan to adapt to the market, he said. Their plan is focus on the retail sales mostly by growing 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and 1 gram packets for retailers and 15 pound “trim” for processors to produce marijuana products like edible goods. Ash said he’s uncertain if they’ll grow 2-pound bud to sell to other producers. Along with marijuana, Ash is focusing on growing wasabi and tropical fruits. He said marijuana and wasabi are similar with the amount of effort it takes to cultivate but become more self-sustaining the farther along they go.

Court documents indicate the 15-year-old voluntarily went to police on March 24 and said she became close with Pedersen during a basketball camp from July 21-26, 2013. The student allegedly told police she and Pedersen would text several times a day from waking up to going to bed and was about life and school before turning into flirting, court documents state. The 15-year-old said she and Pedersen sent nude photos to each other, according to the court documents. She also told police that Pedersen did come to her house with her parents out of town to pick up a gift but they only hugged and did not have sex, the documents state. SHS girls basketball head coach Evan Still, according to court documents, talked with the girl and Pedersen after seeing a text message on Pedersen’s phone two weeks before the allegations where they referred to

each other as “babe.” Still reportedly told Pedersen the messages were inappropriate and fired him from coaching. Still then spoke with the 15-year-old and told her to delete Pedersen’s contact information and block his number, according to court documents. The 15-yearold told police she and Pedersen decided to stop texting but started texting again a week later after he contacted her. Court documents state she deleted text messagedsbetween her and Pedersen earlier when she heard police were at the high school and told Pedersen via text and blocked his number from her phone. Another friend of the student spoke with police saying the 15-year-old denied a relationship with Pedersen to friends, but when confronted by the friend on whether or not the couple had sex, the 15-year-old said they did “technically” have sex but that they stopped, court documents state.

be held on the third Thursday of each month to discuss construction progress, what is planned for the month and the impacts of the construction. Construction of the Civic Center will affect access and traffic flow on some city streets and alleyways. Weekly updates on the project can be seen at the city’s website, www.sequim wa.gov. Contact City Engineer David Garlington at 683-4908 or dgarlington@sequimwa.gov, or Kevin McCarry of Lydig Construction at 425-8853314 with questions.

by our return to a privately held business model we have renewed our commitment to a healthy build-toorder-manufacturing strategy,” Saari said. “An unfortunate result of this was a one-time adjustment to our staffing in our Carlsborg manufacturing facility.” Quiksilver, Inc. sold Mervin Manufacturing after 16 years late last year to Altamont Capital Partners of Palo Alto, Calif. Mervin continues to manufacture products in Carlsborg for their Lib Tech, GNU and Bent Metal lines along with Roxy through a licensing agreement with Quiksilver. Altamont also bought DAKINE, a Hood River, Ore. based company who specializes in accessories for surfing, skiing, skating and more, in July 2013 from Billabong. Sequim staffers were told they were laid off on March 30 but allowed to continue working through the day. Saari said they did everything they

could to transfer employees into weekday shifts. “It was a very challenging decision for us as we put a lot of energy into each member our crew and value their dedication and efforts to build great boards,” Saari said. “We have had some success and grown over the years but we are still a very family style business. We remain absolutely committed to manufacturing in the U.S. and Sequim/ Carlsborg and are working on our cross seasonal business of surf and skate which we have been adding staff during this same time period.”

Bumps and bruises Saari said in Mervin’s 30-plus years they’ve weathered many ups and downs in the snowboard market since he started the company with Mike Olson in 1977. “We have had to make some challenging adjustments over the years and do everything in our power to provide stable, year-round employment in what has traditionally been a very seasonal business,” he said.

Saari said they’ve seen the snowboard and ski markets remain flat or down the past decade but they’ve built market share through technological innovations and branding. He expects growth in their products over the next five years. “We have several significant new projects in the works and are aggressively developing our counter-seasonal businesses of surf, skate and soft goods,” Saari said. “We are very excited and optimistic about our future growth opportunities.” Some of Mervin’s recent successes include sponsorships of two gold medal Sochi 2014 Winter Games athletes Jamie Anderson in snowboard slope style and Kaitlyn Ferrington in snowboard half pipe. Saari said they were using Mervin’s Magne-traction serrated edge technology and Banana Tech rocker camber designs. Mervin also continues to develop its tech surf program under Olson in Carlsborg.

Q&A: The 2014 Sequim School Construction Bond Sequim Gazette staff

On April 22, voters in the Sequim School District will decide the fate of the district’s capital construction bond to remodel Sequim High School, build a new elementary school, add classrooms to Greywolf Elementary School and more. The election would ask voters to approve or reshea ject $154,325,000 in bonds over 20 years to finance construction of projects recommended by a community committee and approved by the school board on Brian Lewis, Sequim School District Director of Business (background) and Kelly Shea, Sequim Schools Superintendent Kelly lewis Feb. 11.

The proposed projects include an expanded high school with additional science labs so our students can meet these science credit requirements. Student population estimates through 2031 indicate that the student population of Sequim School District will grow from its current level of approximately 2,740 to 3,100. We are a retirement community with a number of low-income families as well. Doesn’t this bond put undue burden on the people in between? Lewis: “Undue burden” is a subjective term. Each and every voter will have to answer that question for themselves. However, if the bond passes, the estimated total schools tax rate will be less than the average of all school districts in Washington, than all districts with a similar student population to ours and than all districts with an assessed valuation similar to Sequim’s. Isn’t our student enrollment stagnant? Shea: Our total district enrollment has declined somewhat over the past few years, but we are beginning to experience growth at the elementary level and expect to continue this growth for the next five to six years at which time these students will then begin moving into our secondary schools. We currently do not have any available classrooms in our elementary schools and will need to purchase at least three new portables in the next two years. In addition, we are currently using eight portable classrooms at the high school. Anticipated student growth, however, is only one factor in our decision to replace and modernize our school facilities. Lewis: The proposed projects provide housing for the students we currently have and expect to have due to the implementation of all-day kindergarten by 2018 and a steadily increasing birth rate in our district through 2012. Washington State Department of Health birth statistics indicate that Sequim School District kindergarten enrollment should increase from 188 students to 240 students over the next six years. This is just kindergarten, so each of these larger kindergarten classes continue through the entire grade system as they age. Because of the increasing birth rate, we expect to see our overall student population slowly and steadily increasing over the next 20 years.

Some students go to great lengths for their films. For Sequim High School senior Sarah Hutchison, filming her documentary “You Are” was the easy part. Filling out the paperwork was a different matter. Her documentary for the Sequim Education Foundations’ ninth Film Fest includes 30-plus Sequim students discussing their insecurities and the voices they play out in their mind, which likely aren’t true. The biggest problem for Hutchison after filming was that each student needed signed permission to appear on screen. “I was running all over campus the past two weeks,” she said. Hutchison is one of 28 students entering 15 films in the film fest this Friday at the Sequim High School auditorium. Students vie for upwards of $3,000 in college scholarships and in its eight years the contest has given 70 students $45,000 in scholarships. Films range from Aaron Witherell’s extreme sports video “My Backyard” to Kalli Wiker and Jaden Rego’s “Bigfoot Investigators” to sales pitches “Instant Water” by Cameron and Kelley Bluthenthal. Megan McAndie, another senior, enters two films – “The Banks of Iron Mountain” with friends Michael Gufler and Tenille Tosland, and “Be the Change” with Emily Webb for their club of the same name. This year three clubs compete for $500 from the Sequim Alumni Association for having school spirit. Nicholas D’ Amico also entered “Mrs. Morrison’s 1st Period Science” and Danny Willis and Christie Honore “Operetta Club: Unscripted” in the category. For McAndie’s club entry, she said

The student film “Instant Water” is by Cameron Bluthenthal (above) and brother Kelley.

their film and club’s intent is to create a positive change in the local community and global community. For example, the club raised money by asking students to donate pocket change to the Philippines relief effort and they constructed dresses for girls in Africa. McAndie said she hasn’t entered since her freshman year when she won Best Actress. However, she wanted to help her friend Tosland who had the idea for “The Banks of Iron Mountain,” which explores the history of the Tubal Cain Mine. Tosland said there’s a lot of history in the area that people don’t know about. “We wanted to show them what they’re missing,” she said. Their group hiked the Olympic Mountains to film and rediscover the mine and plane wreckage from the 1950s. Tosland said she wanted to film the documentary last year but snow prevented them from going, so she went for it this year. Michael Gufler, who edited and provided voice-over work for “The Banks of Iron Mountain,” said the documentary was the first film he’s edited in awhile after taking a break from the school’s Growl News Network. Gufler said he’s drawn to film making for it’s diversity with all types of people from musicians to editors to voice artists working for one vision. “I like how so many different kinds of people can get involved,” he said. Hutchison’s “You Are” started as a

class project for her Den, the high school’s home room program, and leadership class. Her intent was to give people a better idea of students in Leadership, which led to even more students getting involved. She’s happy with the result but given more time she would focus on one person and have the class discuss him or her and go from there. But through their efforts and the allure of college scholarships, students like Hutchison are glad to show their art to an audience. “I really just wanted to share it with people,” she said. Along with the top prizes, the Olympic Audubon Society offers an environmental cash award, a Port Townsend Film Festival pass and a computer tablet will be given out to students. All proceeds from the festival benefit its scholarship fund. For more information, visit sequimed.org or like it on Facebook.

The road treated Sequim High’s fastpitch team quite nicely Monday afternoon. SHS’s baseball squad? Not so much. The Wolves’ fastpitch team routed host North Mason 20-0 in a five-inning, mercery rule-shortened affair to improve to 7-0 in Olympic League play. Makayla Bentz tossed all five innings, giving up just one hit and three walks and striking out five Bulldogs. At the plate, Bentz fell short of the cycle by a home run, going 3-for-5 with four RBIs. Mary Lu Clift drove in four runs and scored four times, and Shelby Lott was 3-for-3 with a triple. Sequim had 11 hits, drew nine walks and took advantage of nine North Mason errors. On the baseball diamond, Sequim’s Nick Johnston was nearly unhitable, striking out 13 North Mason batters and giving up just two hits. But Sequim managed just one hit — a third inning leadoff triple by Evan Hurn — and couldn’t score against North Mason starter Daniel Burggraaf. The Bulldog ace struck out seven Wolves and allowed just the one hit and one walk. Sequim (5-2 in Olympic League, 8-2 overall) had a runner on third with less than two outs twice but couldn’t bring a run home, the first time they’ve been shut out this season. The loss drops Sequim back into a tie with Olympic for the league lead. SHS’s baseball squad hosts Fife on April 17. Both SHS teams are at Kingston on April 18.

Just because you have macular degeneration (or other vision-limiting conditions) doesn’t always mean you must give up driving or reading. A Seattle optometrist, Dr. Ross Cusic, is using miniaturized binoculars or telescopes to help people who have lost vision from macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy or other eye conditions. “Our job is to figure out everything and anything possible to keep a person functioning,” says Dr. Cusic. “Whether it’s driving, reading, TV, seeing faces, check writing, bingo or bridge. We work with whatever is on the person’s ‘wish list.’”

A Premera primer My self-imposed sabbatical from writing this column has ended and I am back with a vengeance. My batteries are fully charged and I am raring to go on all things insurance related. So, sit back, read on and enjoy and hopefully learn something that will be of benefit to yourself or a friend. It seems appropriate that the subject for today’s column is the Affordable Care Act, as the open enrollment finished three weeks ago on March 31. I will be giving some pointers and primers on how to get the best use from your new insurance plans if you are on the Premera or Lifewise plans. From here on I shall just refer to Premera as both companies’ benefits and premiums are identical, so when I say Premera I am also including Lifewise. I will be primarily discussing the Premera plans as they were the only offerings we had here in Clallam County that were available on the Exchange. The other major company is Regence and they did not offer any of their plans on the Exchange and were therefore unable to offer any tax credits or premium

subsidies. If you have a new metallic (Bronze, Silver or Gold) plan from Premera, it is important that you choose a Primary Care Provider (PCP). For example, if you are on a Bronze plan and went to see your regular doctor, if you had designated that doctor as your PCP your co-pay would be a maximum of $20; if not designated, it would be $50. That is quite a significant saving. If you have not done so already, call Premera at the number on the back of your ID card and ensure you choose a doctor, or you can do this yourself at the Premera website.

From page A-12 Regarding school security: Can’t you just build a fence around the schools you want to secure or simply hire security guards? Shea: Yes. Fences and security guards are options to improve security, but these solutions do not address the educational inadequacies and inefficiencies of our current facilities. They will not provide housing for all-day kindergarten, science classrooms to meet new graduation requirements, a base kitchen to serve all 2,800 students or remove portable classrooms. Also, we want to be very careful to not create a sense that our schools are dangerous as we improve safety. We want people to believe that our campuses are well controlled. In terms of safety and security, what is the difference from a statistical viewpoint between the California-style, open campus you have at two schools (Helen Haller Elementary School, Sequim High School) and the closed, singleentry style you are proposing to build? Kelly Shea: This is a great question and one that I don’t know the answer. Schools are increasingly becoming a target of violence. If an individual chooses to do harm at a school, we can’t guarantee it won’t happen. We have to

create an environment that first deters anyone from choosing our schools as a target. Second, we have to make access to our students and our staff as difficult as possible. In these situations, every second counts in saving lives. Law enforcement officials have expressed great concern for the open campus design and have advocated for the single roof, single point of entry facility. Does new construction mean we are going to see improved student performance? Shea: I believe the answer is Yes. Research clearly indicates that schools with consistent climate controlled environments, air exchange and infusion of natural light all make a positive difference in student achievement. New and modernized facilities will provide flexible and adaptable spaces for learning allowing teachers and students to access technology, collaborate in teams and incorporate instructional strategies that align with 21st-century learning. Aren’t our athletic fields good enough? Shea: Depends on who you ask. Those that use our facilities will tell you, “No, they are not.” Our tennis courts are severely cracked, the track is full of potholes, the football/soccer field is inconsistent, the softball field has no room for spectators, the baseball diamond has a sunken infield and our gym floor is warped and hard as

a rock. There are no requirements for the quality of our athletic facilities, but we do want to ensure that our playing surfaces are safe for all that use them. Could you break up this proposal into separate elections? Lewis: We studied a scenario in which we conducted three separate elections over a three-year period to ask voters to approve the projects separately. The scenario resulted in an increased interest cost of $10 million, confirming our conclusion that a single election seeking approval for the proposed projects is the lowest cost path. Delaying the start of the proposed projects would result in higher construction costs in addition to higher interest costs. What happens if we, the voters, reject this bond proposal? Lewis: District administration will work with the Board of Directors to formulate a solution to the facilities problems. Ultimately it will be up to the Board of Directors to decide what path we follow. While we don’t know what that path may be, we do know that the problems addressed by this proposal will not go away simply because voters may not approve this bond proposal. They will remain, conditions for learning in the buildings will worsen and the cost of potential solutions will rise as interest rates and construction costs continue to increase.

Allen Compton May 22, 1929 - March 26, 2014

Allen Compton, affectionately known to many as “Buddha,” died peacefully at his home on March 26, 2014 at the age of 84. Born in Denver, Colorado on May 22, 1929 to Patricia Rensch, Allen lived in a variety of places until he made his way to the state of Washington where Mary and Harry Compton of Vashon Island took an interest in him and eventually adopted him at age 15. Allen attended Vashon Island high school where he participated in several sports, theater, and class government. Harry taught him the rooﬁng trade which eventually became his vocation. Allen then attended Western Washington University where he played football and graduated with a B.A. in Education. A proud veteran, Allen served his country in Army intelligence during the Korean War.

Following his discharge from the Army, he married Anita Crook in 1956. They had two children, Colleen and Sally. In 1971, he traveled to Alaska in search of a new job and soon started his own successful business, Compton Rooﬁng. In 1981, not long after the birth of his beloved granddaughter, Elise, Allen faced perhaps his biggest personal challenge when he suffered a major stroke. As a result of this stroke, Allen lost the use of his right arm and his ability to speak. The disabilities caused by this stroke forced Allen to liquidate his business and start an earlier than expected retirement. Allen and Nita moved to Sequim, Washington, and settled into a busy life. Despite his physical limitations, Allen kept himself busy by devoting himself to gardening and working in his yard. One of the only words he regained was “Bud-

dha.” Those who knew Allen well and learned to interpret his “Buddha speech” soon realized that despite his limitations with communication, Allen possessed a very sharp and perceptive mind which remained the case until his death. Family was very important to Allen and nothing brought more of a twinkle to his eye than the presence of his beloved daughters and granddaughter. Allen is survived by his wife of 58 years, Nita Compton; his daughters, Colleen Fritz and her husband, Arnold Fritz, of Phoenix, Ariz., and Sally Compton, of Anchorage, Alaska; his granddaughter, Elise Compton, of Greensboro, North Carolina. Allen was preceded in death by his mother, Patricia Rensch, his adopted parents, Harry and Mary Compton, and his sister, Nancy Compton. Buddha will certainly be missed.

Pacific Family and Internal Medicine are offering quite a significant discount to Premera patients until they get their contracting sorted out with Premera. Many thanks for Dr. Mathew for doing so. With many more folks having insurance coverage than ever before, this is highlighting a growing problem both locally and nationwide and that is the shortage of primary care providers. Most providers are not accepting new patients and have a wait list of patients. Olympic Medical Practitioners, a division of Olympic Medical Center, will shortly be opening a clinic at 800 N. Fifth Ave., as well as providing a walk-in clinic at their main building at 844 N. Fifth Ave. Last time I checked they were not yet taking appointments as they were not 100 percent sure who would be staffing the clinic. Please take the time now to learn more about your policies as that way you can avoid frustration when it comes time to use the benefits. As always, feel free to contact my office or Premera directly if you have any questions or concerns.

Odds, ends from the editor’s desk It’s a little late in coming, but kudos go to Attorney General Bob Ferguson, whose bill to strengthen Washington state’s open government laws by requiring training for public officials was signed into law on March 27 by Gov. Jay Inslee. The “Open Government Trainings Act,” which takes effect on July 1, had strong bipartisan support — and it should. The law is designed to improve public disclosure practices and reduce lawsuits through mandatory training. But beyond that, we need our public officials to help citizens get access to information about what our government is doing and how it works. In a time and day when information carries more influence than ever, that power needs to remain with the people. The law will require local and state records officers and elected officials to receive training on the Public Records Act and records retention requirements Editor’s and require members of Corner governing bodies to receive training on the Open Public Michael Dashiell Meetings Act. Who is affected? The new law applies to elected and appointed members of school boards, library districts, fire protection districts, conservation districts, water districts, flood districts, transportation benefit districts, housing authorities and hospital districts as well as city councils and county commissions. The Attorney General’s Office estimates about 6,000 public officials across Washington will be required to take training. Now, if we could just require the same for nonprofit boards …

Letters, letters We’ve understandably had our share of letters to the editor regarding the Sequim School District’s bond proposal and most have been civil. I did my best to make space each week for those letters in the hope that each viewpoint would come through and give voters good perspective before casting their April 22 ballot. Tuesday morning’s ballot count is at 7,079 from the 21,578 voters in the district, a return rate of 32.81 percent. The tally has cleared the 4,943 votes needed to validate this election. Since our next edition is April 23, after election night, we’re done with printing letters for or against the school bond. Although, I’m sure we’ll receive plenty about the results ...

Oddity of the week A “Vote No” for the school bond sign near the corner of Fifth Avenue and Old Olympic Highway … with a note taped just below it reading: “I have your picture and will hunt down and hurt you.” There are reports of a second sign in the area with a similar note. I suppose my editorial about how civil this whole bond vote proposal’s been going can be safely returned to the “Never Mind” folder …

And finally ... Just in case folks were wondering why I was pulled over by a friendly Sequim Police officer next to the ballot box at Sequim Village Center after the Sequim School District public forum, no, it was not for voter’s fraud. I had a headlight out. But thanks for the concern.

As a concerned parent of two children in the Sequim School District and a local pre-school teacher I am in support of the upcoming construction bond for our schools. With numbers of students on the rise; all-day kindergarten becoming a necessity and some much needed maintenance and repairs I worry about what state our schools will be in if we don’t pass this bond. Our children deserve safe and well-maintained schools. They need adequate space to learn and explore as they will become tomorrow’s doctors, lawyers and computer designers. Building new buildings and improving structures that are already standing will help our schools provide an education that isn’t being held back due to safety, worn or outdated equipment.

Jo and Steve Chinn were setting up some field exercises for their three flat-coated retrievers — Hissy, Dinah and Flo — as Jo explained that the training couldn’t happen without two frozen birds named Mr. Waddle and Ichabod.

“What’s in here, guys? It’s your birds! I had run agility with the dogs and I got hurt and had to get out of it. So I said, ‘If I can find somebody to teach me how to field train, I’ll get out of agility.’ So we found a trainer and I sold my agility equipment and I started field training. But oh, my gosh, when you start doing it you really have to do it. Larry Torey from Sequim loaned me this launcher. It’s made out of steel and it’s shaped like an H with a support and it runs off a pulley system with an electronic eye on it. I have a transmitter that tells it when to launch and then that bird goes flying. Kind of like — not a trebuchet, not a catapult — it’s like a big slingshot. Some people call them ‘slingers.’ So Larry had this one and he said, ‘I’m not using it. Take it.’ So here we are and the next thing you know, well, bumpers (cylindrical rubber chase toys) are fine but since the dogs really retrieve birds, you have to have birds. So we have Mr. Waddle, he was our first bird; he’s a mallard. He’s in good shape. We’ve had him about a year in the freezer now. And this is Ichabod. And we thought all this time that Ichabod didn’t have a head, but look, he does. So he’s misnamed. We got these ducks from a trainer. A friend of mine won some free lessons from this guy

over in the Snoqualmie area, so we went. I thought, ‘This guy’s a genius.’ He trains show dogs. He only trains dogs that go in the ring. There was this golden (retriever) who had seven Best-in-Shows; he was in line for Westminster before he pulled a tendon. So this trainer does goldens, labs, flats and waterdogs. All these dogs that get grand championships are out there working in these ponds getting dirty. Flat coats, of course, would rather swim than walk. Sometimes this trainer has live ducks and pigeons but he has quite a supply in his freezer. He sent these two home with us. We get them out of the freezer and we use them. And if they get wet, we dry them with the blow dryer so they don’t mold. It’s like the greatest thing for the dogs. It’s like Disneyland for them when we get them out. All of a sudden you find you’re doing stuff like this because it makes your dogs happy. Who’s going first? That Flo, listen to her. Flo, you’re first … ” And the frozen ducks began to fly.

Money in, money out Congrats also go to Superior Court Administrator Lindy Clevenger, Clallam County Superior Court Administrator, for getting Clallam $500,000 of the $1.1 million the county spent on the prosecution and reconviction of Darold R. Stenson. Clevenger submitted the county’s application for compensation in December, a month after Stenson, 62, was convicted a second time for premeditated, aggravated murder in the March 25, 1993, shooting deaths of his wife, Denise, and business partner, Frank Hoerner. The county spent $106,839 on the case in 2012 and $998,651 in 2013 but was eligible only for 2013 expenses, said Sophia Byrd McSherry, deputy director of the state Office of Public Defense. In 2013, the county’s cost for the Stenson case equaled 9 percent of the combined $11.2 million operating budgets for the four affected departments. If I were being a buzzkill here, I’d note that while the recompense helps Clallam County, the money comes from the state’s supplemental budget passed by state Legislature and signed last Friday by Gov. Jay Inslee — which means state taxpayers still foot the bill, and that a true victory would be finding a way to rein in Stenson’s ridiculously expensive appeal costs … but I won’t.

We need our children’s schools to be ready and able to educate; so the children can be ready for a future that is based on a fast-paced present. Let’s have a Sequim School system that we can all be proud to claim as ours! VOTE YES! Kim Rosales Sequim

Vote NO on school bonds

The Sequim School District has adopted the Common Core curriculum which indoctrinates students instead of teaching anything of significance. I say vote NO for the school district bond issue because it would be a total waste of money to build new buildings to indoctrinate our children with socialist ideology. Ken Westby Sequim

Questions for district’s business manager

I received an e-mail notice for a public forum about the school bond proposal on April 17. It said if you have questions please forward them to Superintendent Kelly Shea. Below are the questions I have forwarded and I think the entire community deserves answered. I have two questions. The first is more for business manager Brian Lewis and the district finance staff. In my 15 years in Sequim, I have never seen any inclusion of maintenance priorities included in annual budget proposals. Further, during campaigns for M&O levy renewal it took the district three election cycles before it was communicated to parents that we were voting on a replacement levy and once that was communicated there has never been

explanations of maintenance to be funded just program cut threats without levy replacement. I would like to know how the budgeting apparatus under Mr. Lewis can justify support of a bond issue under his management in light these budgeting and communications failures. My second question regards the $154 million single issue bond issue. This bond amount and the resulting tripling of property tax levy is excessive and I am having hard time supporting it. If this proposal fails, will the district come back with a multi-year, multiple issue bond proposal to spread these capital improvements out mitigating levy impact on property taxes?

SEquim Gazette

Invest in schools, community Are you still trying to decide about the Sequim School Bond issue currently before you? Recent letters have reinforced the need to provide students with competent facilities in which to gain a quality education. I also think the district has shown responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars in managing buildings they currently own as demonstrated by the remodel of our classic old brick high school which now serves administration and the alternative school. I offer two other considerations that beg your support. The first is the sad reality that our country as a whole faces a safety and security issue for our children. There have been 387 school shootings in the U.S. since 1992. Eighteen occurred right here in Washington (www.stoptheshootings.org). I want to believe this would never happen in Sequim, but experience has shown that no place is immune from violence. The second consideration is asking how we can help stem the high dropout rate in Clallam County. Johns Hopkins research has clearly drawn the correlation between truancy and school dropouts. Our old schools were built in the open campus design before these issues were so common. It is essential we build facilities that afford maximum safety and security to reduce the opportunity for violence and remember that keeping kids in the classroom affords a higher graduation rate, better employment opportunities, better citizenship and lower crime rates for us all. Please join me in supporting an investment not only for our children, but our entire community, and above all, please vote! Bill Dickinson Sequim (Dickinson is the Sequim Chief of Police)

Real cost of school bond It is unfortunate that I must withhold my support for the construction bond. I was elected to the school board in 2001 and resigned in June 2005. Are there necessary repairs needed in the school facilities? YES! Were these needs addressed over the past 20 years? NO. For years the school board leadership has prided itself on being frugal to a fault. Unrealistic low levies never provided funding for transportation and general maintenance trust reserves. The current campaign for improve-

ments has lacked transparency and total truth. The $154,325,000 promoted by the school board and the Citizens for Sequim Schools has neglected to mentioning interest rate for the bonds plus the underwriting cost. Actual bond amount total to be approximately $261 million. No mention of the 2016 M&O levy or the 2018 state fully funding education. The lesson being presented to our student is fiscal discipline and accountability are not important. This is similar to buying a house you can’t afford because you want it. My suggestions: School violence is a fact of the times — Safety First for schools — secure Helen Haller and the high school NOW with general reserve funds. Next meet with other school directors with similar facility problems (Port Angeles, Forks, Kitsap), followed by months of Sequim community meetings presenting the facts. Then a board meeting in a school NOT the board room to approve placing a bond on the ballot. Suzi Schmidt Sequim (Schmidt is a former Sequim School Board director)

All-or-nothing bond pushed The cost of the current portion of U.S. Highway 101 widening between Sequim and Port Angeles is $27 million. The cost for the all-or-nothing Sequim school bond is almost six times larger at $154 million. When examining the reasons for this all-or-nothing bond I see items that I thought were handled through the Maintenance and Operation levies. I do not see anything so crucial as to warrant this type of spending. This all-or-nothing Sequim school bond will increase the school portion of our property taxes by 80 percent and the total overall property taxes by 16 percent. The current tax base cannot afford this huge increase. It consists primarily of retirees and the service industry. These retirees are living on a fixed income! Savings, CDs and Treasuries produce no interest and won’t for the foreseeable future! Social Security is changing the rules to keep the COLA as low as possible! The current unemployment rate for Clallam County for January of 2014 is 9.3 percent and has been trending upward since September 2013. If this all-or-nothing bond passes, it means that the owners of residential

and commercial rental properties will pass the additional cost on by increasing the amount of rent! Retirees will have to prioritize spending which means cutting back on current expenses. This will impact the service industry which depends on them to stay in business! We urge the voters to vote no on this all-or-nothing bond. If there are urgent needs, then the school board must prioritize. James and Deb Lindgren Sequim

It’s time to vote yes! Please vote ”YES” for our Sequim School District construction bond today. The bond will pay for new schools and much needed building improvements in our school district. We desperately need these facilities. Both interest rates and construction costs are lower now than they will be in the foreseeable futures so it is important to pass this bond now. The timing could not be better. It is essential that we rebuild and update Sequim High School. We also must renovate and upgrade Greywolf Elementary School and the Helen Haller School facility. We need to relocate a new elementary school to keep pace with the community’s projected growth. Sequim Middle School needs roof repairs. Transportation and athletic facilities require upgrading and repair, and student programs previously housed in the dilapidated old Community School are critically in need of new space. In 2008 and 2013, the school district’s two independent citizens’ investigatory committees both recommended most of the same renovation, repair and construction needs for our school properties. It was just not feasible to take on those projects at the beginning of the recession in 2008, but it is now. Interest rates are lower and the cost of construction will be less expensive now than in the future. Our school children and community economy will both benefit greatly when we pass this School District Construction Bond issue. Please join with me and vote “yes” for our Sequim Schools today! Our children truly are our most important resource. They are our future, so let’s stand by them for theirs! The timing couldn’t be better! Dick Hughes Sequim (Read more letters on page A-18.)

I have lived in Sequim since 1991 and I’m voting YES on the bond! Our schools aren’t just institutions of learning; they reflect our civic pride. Look around folks. Are you proud of what you see? Are you proud that Helen Haller portables intended to be a three- to five-year temporary solution to overcrowded classrooms have been in place for more than 20 years? Are you proud that we as a community have not invested in our school facilities since the last bond passed in 1996? We can do better. This bond gives us the opportunity to address multiple facilities issues in a comprehensive, strategic and fiscally sound way. I’ll focus on three issues of particular concern to me:

Guest Opinion

Safety and security

The California open-campus architecture of the 1970s makes no sense in Washington in 2014. Mike McAleer Currently, anyone at any time can freely wander anywhere they choose on our school grounds. Safety is all about minimizing risk. There are more than 50 doors on the high school that open to the outside and more than 30 doors on Helen Haller, making it virtually impossible to keep intruders out. The one-roof design concept proposed for all the district school buildings will result in a single point of entry and exit monitored by staff and security cameras. Fail safe? No. But it’s a dramatic improvement over what we have now. And the one-roof design will certainly deter those who would do harm to our kids.

Inefficiencies Sequim High School and Helen Haller buildings are 12-30 years past their 30-year lifespan (the Washington state standard at the time of construction) and they’ve exceeded their useful lives. Worn out buildings are incredibly inefficient to heat — a condition exacerbated by the multiple doors to the outside that are open 10 minutes each hour as students move to their next class. The district also is heating portables with limited wall and roof insulation and single pane windows. So, we’re literally throwing money out the window (and doors). Let’s do the right thing and construct new, energy-efficient buildings designed for 21st century learning; buildings with a 50-year lifespan (the state standard).

Athletic facilities Our high school athletic facilities aren’t just for athletes; the track, gym, tennis courts and various playfields are used almost daily as part of the PE curriculum. These facilities also are available to the public, when not in use by the school. However, part of the track is closed and unusable. The gym was built in 1954 and the original floor, which was constructed directly on concrete, has no cushion; it’s now warped and results in many injuries annually. The tennis courts have major cracks. The baseball and softball fields are mud pits. The stadium field is unlevel, full of holes, and a maintenance nightmare. Athletic directors in the Olympic League have determined the Sequim stadium field is the worst in the league, and post-season games cannot be played in Sequim because of the unsafe playing surface. Thus, our local athletes, families, and fans waste fuel traveling to other communities and spend their food dollars elsewhere. Wouldn’t it make more sense to have that economic boost here? Three percent of the total bond will go toward new athletic facilities: track, turf field, and stadium; gym; baseball and softball fields; and tennis courts. Wouldn’t we rather go to a home sporting event and be proud of our town and its facilities rather than embarrassed? Let’s support our students. Let’s renovate and build facilities where they can excel. Let’s transform our town into a place we can be proud of. Please invest in our future by voting YES on the Sequim school bond! Mike McAleer is a Sequim resident.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Sequim schools lacking appropriate tools Through my profession I have had the chance to visit and work with most of the schools on the North Olympic and Kitsap peninsulas. I can say that the facilities of the Sequim School District are not up the standards of other schools. For example, classroom lab stations are too small to accommodate the growing number of students, have outdated technology, broken equipment and even basic things like sinks are beyond repair. In many cases students outnumber the available space in classes to the point where science is taught in classrooms without any lab stations or equipment at all. A carpenter, doctor, or law enforcement officer wouldn’t be expected to work with broken tools yet our students and teachers are being asked to achieve higher standards, deal with increasing enrollment, and teach students about modern science, technology and math without having appropriate tools or resources. As a parent of a Sequim student I also support the bond for the security and safety it will provide our students. Schools with “one roof” designs are essential to keeping our most precious resource safe by making schools have one point of entry instead of separated buildings and deteriorating portables. As a Sequim native and graduate, I encourage you to vote Yes for the bond because it will increase community pride, provide economic boost by hosting more sporting events and provide an attraction for talented families to choose Sequim as their home. Support our community and schools by voting Yes on the proposed bond! Powell Jones Sequim (Jones is director of the Dungeness River Audubon Center)

Bond serves the community in the long run I’m writing to support and lend some of my thoughts on the current Sequim School District bond proposal. The current bond is about providing safe, clean space and facilities for students, teachers and parents to succeed. There has been an argument from some in the community about maintaining what you have rather that rebuilding. There is a difference between a modern building built today and the current school which was built in the 1950s and 1960s. A well-designed, constructed and maintained building can last a long time, but the only true test is to inspect the buildings over time; ours are no longer passing the test. The facilities are old and showing their age, not in a good way. This is not a question of parents and teachers, it is a question of facilities that are able to provide the needed safe, clean space for them to work and learn. We all agree that teachers and parents are two main pillars of education. Good school facilities are another pillar that supports the education process. To ignore this is a mistake. This bond is an investment in the future that has the greatest

possible upside for us all. It is my heartfelt feeling that this community will be best served in the long term by this bond and the rebuilding of our schools. The upside potential is so great for all of us if we focus on education. I hope that you will consider my opinion as you submit your vote and vote in favor. Carl Peecher Sequim

What about middle school? I got my ballot for the upcoming School Bond election today (April 7). As I read about the school bond proposal, I saw one glaring omission in planning for the “large number of future students”: What happens in five years when these students graduate from elementary school and go to middle school? Is that when they are planning to ask us for more money to upgrade the middle school? The current proposal only mentions plans for the elementary schools and upgrades to the existing high school … if these schools are too small, surely the middle school will soon need attention as well. In a plan this ambitious shouldn’t there be some mention of the middle school as well? I seriously think this entire plan needs to go back to the “drawing board” and have a little more thought and planning for the future go into it or we will all have another school bond election in five years or so to cover what isn’t covered here. Rebecca Davidson Sequim

Support bond for safety Sequim is at a decision point: whether or not to support bonds to rebuild and repair our schools. As longtime teachers in the district, we offer some things to consider: Helen Haller Elementary reached full capacity long ago. Portable classrooms, meant to be temporary solutions for housing students, have been on campus for decades. Now, as the state of Washington is moving to full-day kindergarten, we need more classrooms again. Sequim turned down state funding for all day kindergarten during the last budget cycle because we had no classrooms available. Soon our district will be offered this funding again. A yes vote on the bond means we can take advantage of it and join the nearly 500 other elementary schools in the state that already offer all-day kindergarten. According to census data, 76 percent of school districts in the United States currently offer all-day kindergarten. A yes for the bonds will build a new elementary with added capacity, and classrooms that meet current codes. Why a new building? At Helen Haller physical capacity is maxed out, plumbing is failing, and decades-old electrical wiring is inadequate for the needs of modern technology. We use our gym to feed students; few bathrooms have doors, and there is one stall per 50 students in most pods (the ratio is worse is some parts of the building); we don’t meet current seismic codes; there is no fire sprinkler system, and

from student safety standpoint the campus with its dozens of outside doors is a security nightmare. Please join us in voting yes. Eric Danielson and Christine MacDougall Danielson, Sequim (Both writer are teachers at Helen Haller Elementary School)

Bite the bullet While I am a senior and educational issues are no longer part of my personal agenda, I do believe in good schools for our children and grandchildren. That is our legacy for the future. We all know that the American education system is slipping in quality. It is a dangerous trend and one that we don’t want to see happen in Sequim.I have lived here for four years and this is an amazingly special place. I’ve enjoyed the natural scenery, the wonderful places to walk, the multitude of spiritual and cultural opportunities. Sequim is great. We need for our schools to be great, too! For our young ones to have safe places to study and play, well-equipped classrooms and schools located where the growing population needs them to be. Yes, there is some sacrifice for all of us in voting “Yes” on the school bond issue, but we need to bite the bullet and do it! For the kids, for the grandkids, for the future! Alice McCracken, Ph.D. Sequim

Passing bond issue is a positive For the past 10 years, we have volunteered at Helen Haller Elementary, Sequim Middle School and Sequim High School. All structures are out of date, need repair, have safety concerns, and are ineffectual by today’s design standards. The fields/ landscaping are unsafe, need upgrade/ redesign, are unsightly, and, quite frankly, embarrassing. With upcoming improvements to city government/library, the bond renovations appear to go hand-in-hand with the city’s vision for our community: safety, security, modernization, long-term enrollment/population, modern technology, economic growth and improved quality of life. The proposed tax increase to property owners seems fair when coupled with the long-term strategy of financing the bond and scope of improvements – it’s not too much to ask of our property owners. The argument that classrooms are as good as “when I went to school” doesn’t cut it. These individuals most likely had equipment that was current and state-of-the-art in their time. Our kids are far from that standard and getting by in buildings/equipment that are antiquated. As builders, we see the facilities our kids struggle in are dangerous, inadequate and unable to meet anticipated growth. The improvements the bond proposes can only come as positives for Sequim’s children and creating jobs and economic growth for Sequim’s citizens, businesses, and government. This bond should be supported and approved by all. These children are important and our future and we, as property/business owners in Sequim, support this bond. Craig and Lora Armstrong Allan Armstrong Construction, Inc., Armstrong Home Inspections, Inc., CALA Properties, LLC Sequim/Carlsborg

School board shows foresight I am supporting the Sequim School Construction Bond. Disclosure: This is my 30th year teaching in Sequim. More disclosure: I will retire before any of the improvements that this bond will provide are built. Full disclosure: I am voting to raise my taxes for the next 20 years as I move to a “fixed income.” Call me crazy, but I like taxes. They

pay for civilization and civilization depends on education. We pay far less than the state average here in Sequim to support our schools. If we pass this bond we will still be paying a tax rate below the state average. I have heard people mention “sticker shock.” It bears repeating: If we pass this bond we will still be paying a tax rate 13 percent below the state average. The real shocker is how low our tax rate has been compared with other, similar school districts in our state. It’s a tough question, but can we say we have been pulling our weight? School districts usually wait until something is broken before they fix it. They keep hoping duct tape and WD-40 will keep things going a little bit longer. We have done that too. But our School Board has shown the foresight to start fixing things now, before more are broken. They are taking advantage of low interest rates and construction costs to do things now that will save us a lot of money in the long run. Those things will also provide the children of our community with schools that will be on a par with any in this state. Please join me in voting to approve the Sequim School Construction Bond. Brian Berg Sequim (Berg is a Sequim School District employee)

Abuse for ‘vote no’ decision

As a concerned taxpayer and business owner in the Sequim School District, I find it very disconcerting that all we hear about for the most part is for the Yes vote. I wonder how many people have had a good hard look at some of the facts for this vote. In the paper it says the increase will be $360 for a $200,000 home. If you work out your property tax on your home, you may be surprised just how much this new tax will be. On a $600,000 home you will face a rise of over $1,000 per year, this is without an other rises by the city or county. Since I have had a “Vote No” in my shop I have been subject to abusive phone calls and people stopping by to say that I’m wrong for not supporting schools. I always thought that America was a democratic country but it seems that I was wrong, it is a matter of agree with our way of thinking or we will run you out of business as I was told on the phone yesterday. Mind you they never told me their name and it was a phone with a blocked number. SO AMERICAN AND DEMOCRATIC. Bryan W. Carter Sequim (Carter owns Kiwi’s Fish & Chips)

SHS building an embarrassment

Dear Old Friend Sequim, How are you? How is your modernization going? I am so excited to hear that you are making such strides to move forward in your life! Everyone needs to step up on occasion, test the boundaries of complacency, and move on! I know change is difficult but if we all don’t change, we all remain the same! Worse than change, however, is unwillingness to see beyond the close at hand. Take for example the Sequim School District struggle. I recently experienced the shock of such stagnation when I took an international student and her father on a tour of SHS. I was so embarrassed! The entire school looked dilapidated, run down and plain old SAD! How did we get here? Further, I went online and viewed the videos at www.sequimschools.com which gave this reality even more weight. Our school district buildings are in the same state as the teardown homes in Detroit! We need to change! I hope your transformation into a vibrant, economically abundant, and visually beautiful town enhances the already fabulous place that you are! Keep on the path to enrichment! Mary Lofstrom Sequim

Reflection

The Sequim Police Department later set up an agility obstacle course to train its canine officers, opening the course to the community as well. With further donations from the Dog Park Pals, the city put up a shelter to keep the dogs’ human friends dry in wet weather. The skateboard park was added in 2000. Under the guidance of Jeff Edwards of the public works department, local youths were offered free use of helmets at the park and a graffiti wall was added. Eagle Scout candidate Jeremy Cays built a helmet rack after a schoolmate was injured at the park. Currently the park is used by both skateboarders and bikers. The lazy ponds and friendly ducks may make it seem that Carrie Blake Park always has been there, but both the landscape and the activities available are the result of energetic citizens who decided to serve the interests of the community.

From page B-1

Sinclair Hotel and the Port Williams single-circuit line. She joined her husband on the family farm; the couple kept a herd of 60 Guernsey cows, along with horses, pigs and gardens. When U.S. Highway 101 was to be extended east to Blyn in 1934, the state transportation department began to mine gravel on the Blake property, creating what came to be known as “Blake’s ponds.” The ponds were mined for gravel for the next three decades. Meanwhile, Carrie Blake planted pond lilies and stocked the ponds with goldfish. In the 1970s, Edward Blake sold about 28 acres bordering the ponds to the City of Sequim. The Sequim Lions Club asked the city to use the land as a park. Club members followed through by grading the land and building a meeting hall with a kitchen. Guy Cole Convention Center still hosts community events throughout the year. The city purchased the ponds in 1975 and in the same year voted to name the park after Carrie Blake.

The park’s ducks continue to lobby for kindness to web-footed friends.

The park host position is a recent innovation at Carrie Blake Park. Jerry and Caecilia Fryrear, hosts since October, moved to the area from Texas and have lived in Port Angeles and Port Townsend. Sequim Gazette photos by Joan Worley

New gardens, new challenges In 1993 the City of Sequim signed a sister city agreement with Yamasaki, Japan. Two years later the city set aside land in the park for a Japanese garden, to be constructed and maintained by the Yamasaki Sister City Committee. (Yamasaki joined five other cities to form Shiso City, and in 2004 Sequim entered into a sister

Play

From page B-1 Agnew Soccer Fields, in the county off Old Olympic Highway, are the perfect place. The Haller fields feature room for eight full soccer fields. The Agnew fields have two full sized soccer fields. Two softball fields, on the southeast corner of Carrie Blake, feature both senior and junior Softball. If you are playing Little League baseball, you will be going over to the Dr. Standard Park fields on the west side of Sequim.

city agreement with Shiso.) Although Bell Creek is nearby, the park always has depended upon the city to pump in reuse water to fill its ponds and stream. Irrigation cuts in the summer of 1994 caused two of the park’s ponds to dry up and trap small fish behind wooden weirs. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife ordered the city to fix the problem. A $10,000 grant

obtained by the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe was matched by funding from the City of Sequim so that the department of public works could eliminate the two smaller ponds and deepen the two larger ones.

Best friends, skateboards Like the rest of Carrie Blake Park, the Sequim Dog Park is an example of citizen action from beginning to end.

The skate park, on the southwest corner of Carrie Blake Park, lets you ride your board or bike over moguls. The Sequim Dog Park, in the southeast corner of Carrie Blake (next to the softball fields) is a great place to let your dog run. Just north of Carrie Blake Park, in the Water Reuse Site, there are four pits for those that like to toss horseshoes. Those with model boats and planes will find the perfect place at the Water Reuse Site. The Puget Sound Anglers use this pond in the spring when they stock it with trout for children learning to fish.

The first citizen action, in 2006, included several calls to the Sequim Police Department complaining that a few dog owners were running their pets off-leash at the Water Reuse Demonstration Park, next to Carrie Blake Park, early in the morning. The police began watching the park, riling the dog owners. At Mayor Walt Schubert’s suggestion, dog owners petitioned the Park Advisory Board to build a dog park, studied design and safety issues, gathered signatures on a petition and went before the city council. In 2007, the city set aside nearly 2 acres on the east side of Carrie Blake Park and the “Dog Park Pals” raised money to create three fenced fields for dogs to go off-leash.

Henry wants to know what physically transpired but her whole world has been ripped out from under her.” Pozgay, who plays the isolated oil rig cook, said Harry doesn’t show a lot on the surface

Director Colby Thomas leads Meyer and Pozgay through their journey with assistant director Carl Honoré and Courtney Thomas preparing props. This is Thomas’ second time leading an OTA production, following last year’s “In the Sawtooths.” Both actors said they were instantly drawn to the intimacy and reality portrayed in the play. “It has a different kind of energy,” Meyer said. “It’s more intimate and the way it’s written is organic and feels more like how people talk. A lot of its moments are true to life.” Pozgay, who moved to the area recently from North Dakota, said he finds “Brilliant Traces” very atypical. “It’s one of the most unique shows I’ve ever done,” Pozgay said.

Despite the lead, Sequim coach Dave Brasher said, nothing was safe about Sequim’s 2-0 advantage late in Saturday’s key Olympic League matchup with North Kitsap. “Worst lead in soccer,” Brasher joked. The Sequim leader could laugh a bit after his team finally secured a 3-1 win against the powerful Vikings, making the top of the league standings much more than a two-team race. The Wolves improved to 6-2 in league play to put pressure on North Kitsap and Kingston (7-1).

Sequim’s Nic Baird celebrates a score with nearly no time left in SHS’s 3-1 win against North Kitsap on Saturday.

Brasher hadn’t seen the visitors from Poulsbo yet this season but had heard the Vikings were quick and strong in the middle, yet beatable. “(Early on) I saw we could play with them,” Brasher said. It was Sequim putting pressure on North Kitsap late in the first half, as Thomas Winfield and Cameron Chase gave

chase to balls deep into Viking territory. That aggressiveness paid off twice before the whistle, as Chase netted a goal from Winfield at the 27-minute mark and Chase found Winfield two minutes later for a quick 2-0 advantage. “There’s no ball that Thomas Winfield thinks he can’t get to,”

Brasher said. Despite some deep runs by North Kitsap, senior defender Lijah Sanford and goalkeeper Austin Wagner spearheaded the defensive effort while Bailey Collins and Hector Baylon earned Brasher’s praise for keeping NK star Raul DeLuna in check.

Sequim’s girls tennis squad remains atop the Olympic League standings despite suffering its first league loss last week. Thanks to kind weather and spring scheduling, the Wolves (3-1 in league, 5-1 overall) have finished more matches than any other league team, going 2-1 last week following spring break. Sequim opened with a key, 4-3 win against Bremerton on April 9, sweeping all four doubles matches. Karen Chan and Melanie Guan led the team with a 6-0, 6-0 whitewashing of Knights Merissa Delazerda and Sierra Williams, while Irene Ponce and Cheyenne Sokkoppa added a straight-set win in No. 2 doubles play. On April 10, Olympic’s Trojans upended the previously unbeaten Wolves 5-2, sweeping three singles matches and earning wins in No. 3 and No. 4 doubles matches. Chan and

Say so long to the Redskins and say hello to the Red Hawks. Sequim’s high school sports teams will face a familiar opponent with a new mascot in the fall of 2014 after Port Townsend High students chose Red Hawks over two other mascot choices — Sasquatch and Riptide — on April 8. The school faced the prospect of changing the mascot name after pressure from a parent in 2012 and a yearlong board member discussion led the school district to drop the 88-year-old “Redskin” moniker. Among those supporting the change was Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe leader W. Ron Allen. In sports parlance, it was Red Hawks 256, Sasquatch 106 and Riptide 41. Interesting, Reporter’s and quite fitting, that Port Notebook To w n s e n d ’s Michael Dashiell school district left it to the students to make the change. If they’d had their way, some students and parents would have kept “Redskins,” not believing the name to be offensive. About 250 people flocked to a PT school board meeting in June 2013, most of them opposing the change. (The student vote came after a two-year process that included a committee to study the issue and a student group charged with narrowing down the choices.) There are several examples of teams named Redskins becoming Redhawks, or Red Hawks, depending on spelling choice, as Patrick Sullivan of Port Townsend’s The Leader newspaper noted: Miami University in Ohio, after a 25-year namereview process, went from Redskins to RedHawks in 1996; the Seattle University Chieftains in 1999 became the Redhawks; Montclair State University (New Jersey) in 1994 changed from Indians to Red Hawks; Southeast Missouri State in 2004 changed from Indians to Redhawks, and high schools in Illinois and New Jersey have made similar changes. Sequim and Port Townsend have played competitive varsity high school sports for the better part of 100 years. (I can find Sequim-P.T. football scores dating to 1928 but likely the first competition was prior to that, sometime after Sequim formed a varsity boys basketball team in 1913.) The Red Hawk, or Red-tailed Hawk, is a bird of prey. So, Wolves beware!

Sequim picks on sloppy Riders, tops Port Angeles rivals by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

Guan again posted a win for Sequim in No. 1 doubles while Maggie Christie and Heidi Stallman won in straight sets in No. 2 doubles. Sequim rebounded with a 6-1 win against shorthanded

forfeited two matches, lacking enough players. Sequim was slated to take on north Kitsap on April 15. The Wolves are at North Mason on April 17 and host Kingston on April 22.

For two innings, it looked like Sequim would have a tough time getting win No. 101 for head coach Dave Ditlefsen. But in the third, host Port Angeles simply couldn’t find a grip on the baseball or their slim 1-0 lead. Sequim’s Wolves (6-1 in Olympic League, 8-1 overall) used a combination of speed, timely hitting and taking advantage of five Roughrider errors to tally an eight-run third inning to knock off their rivals 13-4 on April 11. Evan Hurn had a triple, double and single, Brett Wright was 3-for-3 with two steals and Dusty Bates was 2-for-5 with two RBIs as the

Sequim stays perfect, tops Olympic and P.T. fastpitch Sequim Gazette staff

A sloppy game in wet conditions forced Sequim’s fastpitch squad into a season-high six errors. Fortunately their bats more than made up for it. Sequim scored nine runs in the second inning and seven in the third as they romped over North Kitsap 17-4 in a mercy rule-short-

ened win on April 8. In their first game back from spring break, the Wolves showed a bit of rust in the field with six miscues, hampered by a drizzling rain. But Sequim’s bats battered Viking pitching for 15 hits, including a double and home run from Olivia Kirsch, who was 2-for-3 with three RBIs. MaryLu Clift had a double, triple and two RBIs while teammate Alexas Besand drove in four runs. Tia Bourm, Alysen Montelius and Melissa Lewis each had two hits.

Makayla Bentz worked three innings on the mound to improve to 5-0 on the season, striking out four and giving up just one hit, one walk and an unearned run. Lewis worked the final two innings, striking out three. The Wolves (6-0 in Olympic League, 8-1 overall) followed that with a 15-0 whitewashing of Port Townsend on the road on April 10. McKenzie Bentz went all five innings, giving up just three hits and a walk with four strikeouts. Sequim tallied nine hits — eight

Viking goalie Alex Blanchard, who realized he was past the 18yard penalty area, slipped on the grass field, allowing Sequim’s Nic Baird to knock home the Wolves’ third goal. “I was just thinking, ‘Get it on target,’” Baird said. It was the first time Sequim’s beaten North Kitsap since 2001, ending Sequim’s 10-game losing streak to the purple-clad players from Poulsbo. “We showed strength in the As teammates Brandon Payne (22) and Eli Berg (8) look on, Sequim goalkeeper Austin Wagner punches a North midfield and tackled hard,” Kitsap shot attempt up and over the goalpost in the first Baird said of keys to the win. half of Sequim’s Olympic League win Saturday afternoon.

Wolves kept their top spot in the league standings. Nigel Christian, who was 2-for-4 at the plate with a pair of RBIs, struck out six and gave up three runs over five innings for the win. Zach Rigg gave up one run on one hit in two innings of relief. Jordan Shepard took the loss for Port Angeles, giving up eight earned runs on nine hits and four walks over four innings. “They’ve actually been showing a lot better defense than that,” Ditlefsen said of the Roughriders. “We know when we see them again (in Sequim on April 28) they’ll do better. We’ll certainly take it.” An early deficit to a league cellar-dweller didn’t faze the Sequim Wolves on April 11, helping Ditlefsen pick up his 100th win midway through his ninth season. After giving up two firstinning runs, Daniel Harker settled down to earn the win for the Wolves a s Sequim knocked off Port Townsend 16-3.

Both Wolves golf squads look strong midway through the season with their consistent play putting them in league championship contention and possible top spots at districts and state. The boys (3-1 in league) and girls (4-0) defeated North Kitsap at home on April 8 and April 10 at North Mason’s Lakeland Village Golf Course. Jack Shea paced the Wolves in windy and wet conditions to shoot a 77 on 18 holes at The Cedars at Dungeness and an 80 in North Mason. At home, Sequim swept the top spots with Alex McCracken and Travis Priest both shooting an 85 followed by Jesse Francis’ 87, Anthony Pinza’s 88 and Henry Markham’s 90. The Vikings’ Riley Snook led North Kitsap golfers with a 104. Boys coach Bill Shea said the Wolves never played the North Mason course before, but they still won 470-513 behind Jack Shea tying the Bulldogs’ Josh Frederickson at 80 on 18 holes.

Fifth-graders Douglas Crabb, Truman Nester and Erik Christiansen placed third in astronomy and physics with their team project titled “The Correlation of Coronal Mass Ejections and the Sunspot Cycle.” They chose this particular project after reading several books on the subject. Science teacher and sponsor Carla Morton met with students biweekly in order to investigate and compile data. This is an annual event that Greywolf students have participated in for the past six years and have acquired over 20 awards during that time.

Alliyah Weber was the sole representative from Helen Haller Elementary at the Washington Science and Engineering State Science Fair this year, held in Bremerton from April 4-5. She took a first place for her project on “Factors Which May Influence Crystal Growth.” In addition to the first place, her project/presentation was selected as the top third-grade project at the state science fair and she was also awarded the highly coveted “Best in Class” plate. Third- and fourth-graders in Dave Hasenpflug’s science class have been exploring our solar system, our sun and all that orbits it. We have learned about both the rotation of Earth on its axis and the orbit of Earth. Did you know that about 30 Earths could fit into the space between Earth and the moon? And, about 12,000 Earths would fit nicely into the space between Earth and our favorite star, the sun? Lisa Schermer’s third-grade class writes why they think our solar system is amazing: There are comets, asteroids, a lot of moons and eight planets. Lacey Loewen Our solar system started off as a big cloud of gas spinning in a circle. I wonder how all the planets formed into bigger and smaller planets. Colton Cosio There are so many things to learn about our solar system and some planets take lots of time to orbit the sun! We have eight cool planets!! Sophia Nelson It’s because we have so much stuff that we can figure out. The sun is huge and I wonder why. Phoebe Kaleo It is because the sun is so huge. The sun is gigantic. Not just that, but also because it is super-duper hot. Genesis Lopez We get to live in it. There are a lot of planets. Dylan McKeown We have so many moons. Plus, we have Earth and Earth is awesome. I think so because I get to live there. Julia Jack It has eight cool planets. I like planet Earth because we live on it. Trinitylin Gaither There are eight cool planets. I have a fave: Planet Earth. Earth is where we live. I have another favorite planet. It is Mars because it is red. Jaelyn Ainsworth

There is so much out there in our solar system. I can’t even imagine how big the sun is! My favorite planet is Saturn because it’s really light in weight. Briauna Saghafi It is amazing because all the eight planets, the sun, Earth, Venus and Mars, etc. Tara Klein It’s amazing because of the eight planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, etc. Jesse Chavez There are so many stars! The Milky Way has lots of stars. Can a star be as big as an asteroid? My favorite planet is Neptune. Kali Biddle Jaysa Hill’s fourth-grade class writes why they think our solar system is amazing: It’s amazing because it can hold eight planets. Kieran Van Selus I live in it. The word solar means sun and the word system means a set of objects working together. Kaidence Cary The word solar = sun. And the sun is in the middle. Also, there are comets and asteroids. Juliana Tamblyn It’s amazing because it keeps us alive. Allie Gale The solar system was formed by a nebula that was flattened across space. It is billions of kilometers wide.

It has many different types of planets. One rains sulfuric acid. Blake Davis Earth is the only known planet with life. Haydn Tamura It’s so cool to learn about! There are planets, moons, comets, asteroids, meteors, dwarf planets and more! My favorite planet is Jupiter. I did a report on it and I learned a lot about it. I love space! Madison McKeown There are a lot of planets, like Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Javier Gomez It’s amazing because of the huge sun in the middle that holds all the planets in an orbit with gravity, not gravy, gravity! Raina O’Donnell There are so many awesome planets including terrestrial planets like Mercury, Venus, Mars and my favorite planet, Earth. Earth, so far, is the only planet with life. Or is it?

Remember to make a big deal about jobs well done. Tell other people how he is learning to help. Give him hugs for jobs well done. You are setting the stage for him to learn to be a good worker. Especially let him know when he does parts of the job on his own. All of this is helping him be a part of a family. This is an important lesson everyone should learn and it is pretty much up to the parents to teach it.
