Onlookers watch as the Serenity House apartment building gets demolished. During the deconstruction process water is periodically sprayed to help keep dust and debris to a minimum. Final demolition of the Serenity Shop unexpectedly uncovered an underground tank, city officials said. David Garlington, city engineer and assistant public works director, said the tank was not recorded during the original investigation prior to demolition because the Serenity Shop was still open, making investigation of the area difficult. The tank will be removed along with known tanks, including one once used to hold fuel to heat the apartment building. City officials this week meet with the subcontractors to mull pre-construction details of the new Civic Center. Sequim Gazette photo by Alana Linderoth

MOON April 28 May 6 May 14 May 21

As has been his custom for many years, 83-year-old Richard Dobbs was walking between the cliffs and the beach at Marlyn Nelson County Park several weeks ago when he came across what he believes is part of a cross to hold a Spanish flag from a 1790’s sailing ship commanded by Spanish-Peruvian explorer Manuel Quimper. The piece does appear to be a horizontal arm of a cross with two square nails that attached a flag. The cliffs are composed of 2,200 feet of glacial till, Dobbs said, and have the tendency to crash down on the beach. “You have to be extremely careful and have a way to get rescued,” Dobbs said of the ancient cliffs. Dobbs covered the relic with clear glue to protect it from finger oils. His plans are to keep it at his Sequim home and keep walking the beach. “There are more things to find out there, prizes to be had,” Dobbs said. Sequim Gazette photo by Patricia Morrison Coate

A photo in last week’s Sequim Gazette (“Humming Right Along,” page A-4) shows an Anna’s hummingbird, not a Costa’s hummingbird, according to reader Dale Erz. Three things tipped Erz off about the misidentification: 1) The bib on an Anna’s is rounded, while on the Costa’s it comes to a long point; 2) The Anna’s has a white eye ring rather than a white eyebrow like a Costa’s, and 3) on a Costa’s, the wing tips extend longer than the tail, while the Anna’s has wings much shorter than the tip of the tail. Still, Erz notes, “It is a very good picture. Compliments to the photographer.”

Pa r t ner ing wit h t he Sequim School District may be a possibility for the North Olympic Library System to build a new Sequim Library. However, it will need to be part of a possible school bond for that to happen, said Kelly Shea, Sequim schools superintendent. She a spoke before a small crowd at the NOLS board of trustees meeting on April 24 in Sequim Library. T he NOL S b o a rd of trustees continued discussion on plans for building a new Sequim Library where t hey un a nimou sly ap proved forming a citizens advisory committee along with giving the go-ahead to recruit an architect for a conceptual design of a new branch. Trustees approved up to $60,000 for designs along with costs for a tentative consultant and attorney fees to investigate all possible roadblocks for NOLS to build on Sequim School District property and/or with other community partner agencies. Concepts could include a design on the existing property at 630 N. Sequim Ave., and across the street with the high school, at 601 N. Sequim Ave. Shea said he’s discussed the idea of partnering with the library before but does not know t he school board’s current standing on the idea. “It seems silly to build SHEA a new library across the street from another library when there are redundancies between the two,” Shea said. “The idea hasn’t been done in Washington state before. It has been done in other places,” Paula Barnes, NOLS executive director, said. “The cost re-

ductions could come from shared spaces, computers and technology, maintenance, energy efficiency and staffing levels. “ NOL S wouldn’t be be a ring those costs alone,” Barnes said. “It would be the same if BARNES we partnered with the city or schools or Peninsula College.” Shea said the school district would have some immediate obstacles such as with staffing and security. “ We believe you ca n build a library and allow our students to have access to the library and only our students have access into the high school,” he said. “The community can access it from the outside. I believe our community and kids can co-exist.” But Shea and the library tr ustees a greed t hey’d want community reaction first before making plans. “We want to go through the process with an optimum amount of public involvement,” Barnes said. Don Zanon, NOLS trustees president, said without active community involvement, he would not be in favor of NOLS building a new branch anywhere. “Why go through all this work and put it on the ballot if there’s not sufficient support to go forward and do this,” he said. “It sounds idealistic to partner with agencies but if we don’t have a community interest, we shouldn’t do it. I’m sure the school board doesn’t want to go forward with another ballot destined for defeat.” Ela ine Frederick son, a board trustee, said the committee and design are intended to gauge community interest. “We have to show (the public) something,” she said. “If they don’t respond, then that tells us something, too. There’s a lot of groundwork to be

FEEDING

done.” Barnes said the concept designs, which could take nine-12 months, would show what it might look like, where it would be and the costs. “People need something to react to … Those are the things that get people’s attention,” she said. Shea said that even if the Sequim School’s recent $154 million bond had passed, they’d be discussing options with NOLS but if they were to partner, they’d need to educate people that the library would be part of the school bond. “We’re going to the same taxpayer,” he said. “It’d be nice to have one package instead of two.” Barnes said the best option to build a new library separate from the schools could come from passing a Library Capital Facilities Area, likely following the boundaries of the Sequim School District, and asking those voters to support funding the building by passing a bond issue. She said the biggest question in partnering with the schools is if NOLS could build on property it doesn’t own. “We’ll pursue it until we hit a roadblock,” she said. In Febr u a r y, t he library contracted SHKS Architects for a building estimate which revealed a nearly $7 million estimate for a new library at 17,150 square feet to replace the current 6,000-square-foot branch. Barnes said the soonest anything would go to voters on a new library separate from the schools would be 2016. For more information, visit www.nols.org or call 683-1161.

Monday morning fire destroys Sequim home Sequim Gazette staff

A residential fire at 3 a.m. on Monday morning, April 28, has displaced a man and woman from their Davidson Drive home. The residents were home at the time the fire was reported to 9-1-1. The man, in his early 60s, was examined and released at the scene for minor hand injuries and potential smoke inhalation while the woman escaped the home without injury. Both occupants refused the services of the American Red Cross and are staying with friends. The fire was extinguished in less than 30 minutes and was contained to the second story bedroom areas of the home. The remainder of the home suffered smoke and water damage, rendering the home uninhabitable, Fire District 3 officials said. An investigation into the cause of the fire began Monday morning; no cause had been announced by press time. It was not clear if the home was insured or what the total cost of the fire loss will be. Spath Road was closed to traffic for nearly two-and-a-half hours. The District 3 had 14 firefighters and

seven pieces of firefighting equipment on scene. Water had to be shuttled to the scene by a tender (water truck) and then pumped 600-plus feet from Spath Road to the fire engine fighting the fire on Davidson Drive. Assisting agencies included Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, Olympic Ambulance and Clallam County PUD.

Players take time to Pink Up

On Tuesday May 6, from midnight to midnight, the Seattle Foundation will host the fourth annual GiveBig event. This online giving event encourages new and returning individual donors to support nonprofit organizations who make communities a more vital place to live. All donations will receive a percentage of a matching fund provided by sponsors such as Boeing, Microsoft and the Medina Foundation. To qualify for the match, donations must be made through the Seattle Foundation website on May 6: www.seattlefoundation. org/nonprofits/giveBig. Donors may search for an agency and make a credit card donation of

any amount. The chosen nonprofit will receive the contribution directly. There is no cost to participating agencies and The Seattle Foundation does not receive any portion of donations. Throughout GiveBIG, donors will be chosen at random to win a golden ticket. The winners will have an additional $1,000 given in their name to the same nonprofit that received their donation. The winners also will receive a $100 gift card, courtesy of Starbucks. During the 2013 GiveBig event, 54,500 individuals gave a combined total of $11.1 million to more than 1,300 organizations, in addition to the $1 million matching fund.

the mouth of the Dungeness River. The meeting includes a presentation by Land Trust leadership on recent activities and the results of a strategic planning process to lay out a vision for local land conservation in the years ahead. Joshua Chenoweth, botanical restorationist with Olympic National Park, reports on the process of regrowing a forest in the lake beds of the former reservoirs behind the Elwha dams.

fun, but the real excitement is never knowing what you’re going to find.” On average the owners of Storage WAReS spend about $400 per storage unit they buy. However, the prices at auctions range from $1 to $2,500. When it comes to bidding on storage units “there’s a bit of a learning curve,” Jeremy Wake said. “We’ve learned to look for clean units, nicely organized and full.” Also, places like Seattle are better for storage unit auctions simply because there are more units to peer into, Jeremy Wake further explained. And “peering” is exactly what you do, as no one is allowed to go inside a unit prior to bidding on it. After purchasing a new unit, its “go time” for the owners of Storage WAReS, Kendal Wake said. “First you lock it, then pay for it and then we usually pull up with a big truck and start sorting.” Storage units that don’t get sold at auction end up being cleared out and taken to the dump. “The whole idea of a store like this is great because all this stuff isn’t going to the dump, but getting repurposed,” Jeremy Wake said.

Sequim City Council to review marijuana sales in August Majority of counsilors lean to waiting for Legislature until 2015 before decision by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

The City of Sequim’s moratorium on recreational marijuana remains in effect one month after city councilors last upheld it. That won’t sway, according to some councilors, until the Legislature meets again next year and makes revenue and political changes for cities like Sequim. Sequim City councilors voted 6-1 Monday, April 28, in favor and Councilor Genaveve Starr opposed to upholding the sixmonth moratorium through August. Their decision comes more than two months after first approving the moratorium on Feb. 24. City Attorney Craig Ritchie said the vote fulfilled a guideline for the moratorium to be reviewed officially by city councilors. When the moratorium is up, councilors can vote to either renew the moratorium for up to

another six months or allow recreational marijuana sales in the city. Due to its population, the City of Sequim is allowed one recreational marijuana store. A lottery was held last week for statewide retailers and the announcement on the first businesses to be reviewed for licenses is expected Friday. Councilor Laura Dubois voted for the city’s moratorium, she said, because DUBOIS the state keeps tax revenues from cities that could be used for local police to handle criminal activity at retail marijuana sites. “It’s a cash business and a very valuable inventory,” she said. “If the state is going to keep our tax revenue, then I’m going to continue to vote for the moratorium based on the state’s decision to keep the tax revenue.” Councilor Ted Miller agreed

with Dubois but said merging recreational and medical marijuana sales should be a priority. “The state hasn’t got its act together,” Miller said. “Until we have a definitive merger with recreational and medical marijuana and we have clear guideMILLER lines to proceed it would be premature for us to go ahead. “People have waited for marijuana legalization this long. They can wait a few more months longer so we can do it right.” Starr, who has voted against the moratorium before, told the Gazette she wants to go forward with retail sales because the county and state approved it. “Everything I’ve been reading online STARR with the Colorado experience has not been negative,” she said. “I’m thinking we may be really worried about things that may not happen.”

Policy in place

If councilors do revoke the moratorium, which they can do anytime, they have some policy in place. On March 24, they voted to allow retail marijuana sales in the city’s general retail and commercial zones, which fall mostly at both ends of Washington Street due to restrictions from downtown Sequim and areas like schools and parks. Marijuana processing and producing would not be allowed in the city though. Ritchie said of Washington’s 281 cities, 73 have moratoriums on marijuana decisions. “They are mostly waiting until the Legislature meets (starting January 2015),” he said. Ritchie said he and many others expected the Legislature to merge recreational and medical marijuana sales before it ended March 13. “They’ll come up with some other method,” he said. “I see this as urgent. Medical marijuana users need to have a source. Potentially a lot of tax money at stake. I think they will deal with it.” A few Sequim residents spoke

meeting that Burkett deserves more than a 3 percent raise but the city is restrained by its budget. “In comparison with what staff got it’s a very good proposal,” he said. Burkett scored a 9.1 overall rating from his review. He started with the city in October 2009 earning $120,000. In January 2013, he and 21 other non-union employees began paying 10 percent toward their medical benefits. Burkett was given about $100 more a month to offset the costs. In April 2013, Burkett received a 5-percent merit increase bringing his salary up to $127,260 a year. His new base salary will be $131,078 with the 3-percent increase. His contract also stipulates a long-term incentive program for retirement to encourage him to stay with the city through 2015.

City councilors pay The Sequim City Council’s increases wouldn’t take effect until new or existing city councilors are elected/ reelected. The soonest increase for councilors like Laura Du-

in person or via letter Monday in support of lifting the moratorium. Jan Gonzales, a city resident, wrote by letter stating that the legislation for merging medical and recreational marijuana was met with stiff opposition. Gonzales added that there’s no evidence to support an increase in crime either. “Patients are forced to incur additional expenses as a result of this irrational and unjust moratorium,” Gonzales said. “The city will find its portion of the tax revenue from recreational marijuana when the Legislature reconvenes. Medicine is not where the city should seek its tax revenue.” Dave Halpern, a Gardiner resident, said keeping one retail store out of Sequim will not change any immediate police response because recreational marijuana stores will be outside of the city, too. “People will buy out of the city and bring it back into the city,” he said. “I implore you to follow the will of the county.” Starr said she doesn’t anticipate the city council lifting the moratorium until next year.

bois, Erichsen and Ken Hays would be January 2016 if they were reelected. With the changes, city councilors would receive $230 per month and $2,760 annually. The change increases salaries from $150 established in 1994 and eliminate $20 per month for extra meetings up to $80. The mayor pro tem’s pay goes up from $200 to $330 per month/$3,960 per year and the mayor’s would go up from $250 to $410/$4,920 per year. City staff estimates the annual increase with taxes to be at $2,971. Erichsen voted against the changes saying he, city councilors and other public officials shouldn’t be compensated because it establishes career politicians. “I do this as a patriotic service,” he said. “One hundred and fifty dollars is not going to increase our standard of living. It serves no purpose either way except to raise our income tax.” Councilor Laura Dubois favored the increase because of expenses she incurs traveling to different board meetings. “It simplifies the process and it’s not a huge compensation,” she said. “I couldn’t consider this a career position.” Councilor Ted Miller said

the the increase might help balance who might run for city council. He said six of seven councilors are retired and the non-retired councilor (Ken Hays) made a time and financial sacrifice being on the council. “Some compensation is appropriate,” Hays said. “It’d be a mistake not to compensate. We don’t want it to be a privilege of only those who can afford to do it. This should not cost us money HAYS out of our own pocket.” Erichsen took offense to this and said he’s not of the privileged class. Councilor Genaveve Starr favored the increase because it puts Sequim closer to other cities. Currently, cities like Newcastle pay $700 and Port Angeles and Port Townsend pay city councilors salaries of $500 a month while cities like Chehalis pay $100 and Fircrest $121.55 per month with $100 for each regular meeting and $50 for each special council meeting. Sequim city councilors still would be reimbursed for expenses.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Kudos to outgoing museum staff A letter to the editor in the Sequim Gazette of April 9 commented on what had not been discussed in an earlier article, “Museum Meltdown,” on April 2, namely that the staff and volunteers of the Museum & Arts Center needed to be thanked for years of excellent work. I am a MAC member and until earlier this month a volunteer at the research library at the DeWitt Center. Before moving to Sequim, I spent 35 years as a curator in museums and rare book libraries and archives, the last 21 of them at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University. In my experience, the operation at the DeWitt Center, where Sequim’s countless historical artifacts are stored, and at the Cedar Street museum was first class all the way: storage conditions, collection care, procedures, access, conservation, preservation, patron response, publications, exhibitions. Any public implications to the contrary are at best misinformed and at worst malicious. The outgoing director, staff and the volunteers who supported research, photography, collections, education and other MAC achievements are to be commended for fostering excitement about and preserving the heritage of the Sequim-Dungeness Valley.

Hometown letdown As a Sequim High School alumna moving to Los Angeles four years ago to further my career after college I prided myself on being from a small, supportive community in the Northwest. After yesterday’s (April 22) failure to pass our proposed school bond I am beginning to rethink that. My sister is one of the youngest teachers in the Sequim School District who wanted to move back to Sequim to have a lifelong teaching career and raise her future children with her husband. It’s a shame my future nieces and nephews will have their education in a rundown facility and my sister will be left teaching her high school students in a less than mediocre environment. These children are the future of our community. Shame on you Sequim. Renee Leaf Los Angeles Sequim High School Class of 2004

Individualism reconsidered As I’ve watched the Nevada ranchers protecting their grazing rights against the Bureau of Land Management military, armed with rifles and guard dogs, I thought of Hitler’s “brown shirts” harassing innocent Germans in the 1930s and 1940s. Have we forgotten? The creation of totalitarian governments can simply be the result of a people’s “live and let live” laissez faire attitudes. Moreover, we should know that it also can happen here in the U.S., as in the Germany. If we compare our present society to those years, it’s obvious that the same rugged individualism of the past is slowly being eroded through subtle bureaucratic regulation. This caused me to ask myself: Isn’t it only through “simple,” understandable laws of our judiciary that men and women — educated or uneducated — can get along by following the same laws based on man’s own “innate” sense of right? And armored with these understandable laws, doesn’t “self-discipline” taught in a family environment lead us to the real freedom we seek? And it also follows, that if these teachings fail, and we are not guided by our own conscience, we will empower a government to create reasons to impose more laws and regulations to guide us and control us through its bureaucracies. In the end, these many rules and regulations, justified in the name of protecting us, will really cause elimination of the very freedoms they were created to protect. Soon, those laws — that only attorneys will understand — shall allow no “choice” in anything and our society will be changed into a mob of dependent cripples, run by bureaucratic tzars. The new socialist elite. Travis Williams Sequim

A personal point of view Bullying isn’t restricted to school yards; those ubiquitous yellow propaganda signs … bullying property owners, on what seemed to be every street corner. Using children’s education as a weapon to enhance a corpulent list of school board’s wants without showing due diligence; the verification of proposed expense by outside educational and engineering surveys. I commend those that comprehend the objective of education, to educate; and voted NO on the bullied ideology that 2,780 student need $262 million spent in their names, to further the school board supporters’ grandeurs desires. Inanimate structures do not educate … good educators do, any time, any place! Jan Richardson Sequim

“We used to visit my sister in Vancouver,

British Columbia, all the time, so we’d come up this way every summer, and we’d see Sequim and the sunshine and the lavender and the people were so friendly. When Jerry retired (from the University of Houston) in 2002, we decided why stay in Texas with the humidity and the mosquitos and the fire ants? You cannot go to sleep in Texas without your windows all closed up so you have to run the air conditioner and you never get fresh air. What we liked the best I think was the fact that we could come up here and sleep with the windows open all summer long. You really don’t need an air conditioner up here. We decided to build a house up here, but we couldn’t find the land we wanted. It was either too hilly or too close to town or too far away. So we ended up buying a house in Port Angeles. We lived there for five years and then we looked in Sequim again and still couldn’t find what we wanted, so we went to Port Townsend. And the real estate was just booming five years ago, so we got a really good deal on a house in Port Townsend. We thought we would remodel it and then sell it and hopefully make enough money to come back to Sequim to build that house! What happened, as we all know, was that real estate took an enormous nosedive! We lost quite a bit of money on our Port Townsend house because we had remodeled and we couldn’t recoup the money we’d put into it. We decided to sell anyway and go back to Texas and be close to the kids. We were in Texas in June and the heat and humidity were so oppressive that we couldn’t sleep. We had no energy, we missed the fresh

air and we missed the mountains and we hated all the traffic. One day we looked at each other and said, ‘Let’s go back to Sequim.’ We got back in the RV and made the whole trip up here. We’ve been here now in this area for 12 years and there’s nothing like it. I’m still dreaming of that little cabin or cottage, but we’re doing great here. We have Carrie Blake Park and the mountains — what a view to wake up to every morning! The people are so friendly. And seeing the young families with children is wonderful. When you think of Sequim, you think of people being retired, but there are a lot of young people here. And the soccer fields are incredible and all those kids out there — it’s a great place.” Everyone has a story and now they have a place to tell it.

Vote failing by 55-45 margin Sequim Gazette staff

After a sound defeat, supporters of the Sequim School District’s $154 million construction bond are headed back to the proverbial drawing board. After an April 25 ballot tally, the measure that would have seen taxpayers in the district fund building of a new elementary school and major remodels of Sequim High School and Greywolf Elementary School and other projects is failing 6,693 no votes to 5,387 yes votes — a 55.444.6 split. The school board may place a proposal on the general election ballots this November.

Staff with Hutchison & Foster said expenses are still being incurred on the building and a starting bid amount won’t be determined until late next week. Maggie Roth, owner of Roth Associates, who leads some local public auctions, said the auction was postponed from April 25 to May 9. In the legal statement about the building, the total monthly payments, late charges, post maturity interest and delinquent real estate tax reimbursement places the site at $912,644.11. Rodriguez owed $757,862.61 of a $800,000 mortgage from 2008. The Clallam County As-

Rodriguez owned the Sequim El Cazador and the Oak Harbor El Cazador, however an employee said that Rodriguez is allegedly no longer affiliated with it either.

The Port Townsend Athletic Club and the Olympic Area Agency on Aging have scheduled a free, open-to-the-public workshop on diabetes self-management. The workshop will be held one day a week, 2 1/2 hours, for six consecutive weeks (Thursdays) beginning Thursday, May 1, and continuing May 8, May 15, May 22, May 29 and June 5, from 1-3:30 p.m., at the Port Angeles Senior Center, 328 E. Seventh St. Space for the workshop is limited so register early. Specifically trained leaders will facilitate the workshop. All of materials used were developed by Stanford University’s Diabetes Self-Management Program and are designed to help people with diabetes manage their blood sugar, decrease stress and frustration and improve their health. Those caring for a loved one with diabetes also may benefit from this workshop, organizers said. Each participant will have access to a “Living Well With Chronic Conditions” book. For more information and to register, call 866582-1487 or 538-2457. The meeting site is accessible to persons with disabilities and reasonable accommodations can be arranged with an advance seven-day notice.

Statewide voting Voters in Sequim weren’t the only ones rejecting the idea of seeing taxes raised to build schools. In February, Washington state voters approved less than half — 11 of 24 — school district bond issues. Eight of the 13 bond issues that failed in February — Bridgeport, Everett, Highland, Lakewood, Lake Washington, Oakesdale, Re aderd a n-Ed wa ll a nd Tenino — came back to voters two months later, and were failing as of April 22. Lakewood, in Snohomish County, was passing but .05 percent as of April 25.

Hurst’s mother and public health manager at Clallam County Health and Human Services Christina Hurst said.”In about five years an artificial pancreas is expected to be possible.” The 2014 Seattle Tour de Cure goal is to raise $500,000; thus far Hurst has raised approximately $500 of that goal.

Diagnosis Life for Hurst forever changed Jan. 5, 2012, when he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. This diagnosis meant his pancreas cannot produce any insulin. “Its been hard, but it’s getting easier I guess,” he said. “One of the hardest parts is managing my blood sugar.” Hurst explained how he has learned to carry everything needed to monitor and control his blood sugar at all times. Without proper management his blood sugar can go too high or too low within a matter of hours and result in serious medical conditions or a diabetic coma. Since diagnoses he has been hospitalized twice because of too high of blood sugar levels.

Robert Lee Alumbaugh June 22, 1928 - April 23, 2014

Dr. Robert “Bob” L. Alumbaugh of Sequim, Washington, passed away on April 23 from complications associated with lung disease. Bob was born to James D. and Marian W. (Wells) Alumbaugh in Upland, California,

mittee, the Spray Foam Committees of the National Roofing Contractor’s Association and the Society of Plastics Industry, and the Board of Regents of the Roof Consultant’s Institute. He also was requested to prepare and teach a lecture on Spray Polyurethane Foam Roofing at the Roofing Industry Educational Institute course. Fifteen years after his retirement, he was presented the first Carl G. Cash Award by committee D8 of ASTM International which was in recognition of distinguished research contributions, outstanding publications, dedication, and leadership to advancing building envelope technology, and particularly the performance of spray foam roofing technology. Bob was an avid tennis player during his undergraduate years and also enjoyed golf and skiing. He was a member of the Ventura, California, Church of the Foothills Church and choir, and more recently, the Sequim Community Church and choir. He traveled to Europe with the Ventura County Gold Coast Choir and sang at cathedrals in five countries. In addition to his professional work, he was involved in the Ventura Community as President of the Ventura Industry and Education Council, the Scientific Research Society of America (RESA), and was co-chairman of the Ventura County Science Fair. This latter activity helped inspire young scientists. Dr. Alumbaugh was a very kind man. He seldom said a harsh word or became angry. He could usually find humor in life’s situations and enjoyed jokes and funny stories. He dearly loved his family and friends. He appreciated classical and semi-classical music, singing in choirs from Junior High through adulthood. Dr. Alumbaugh will be missed, especially by his family members and close friends. The family is comforted in knowing he has an eternal life and memories of his life will be cherished. His brother, James W. Alumbaugh and granddaughter, Marija Alumbaugh, preceded him in death. He is survived by his wife and two sons; one granddaughter, Ona Alumbaugh; two grandsons, Zane and Kiran Alumbaugh; his sister and brother-in-law, Joyce and Silas Morrison; his sister-in-law, Carol Alumbaugh; and three nephews and their families. A viewing will be held at the Sequim Valley Chapel from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday May 2, 2014, followed by a memorial service at the Sequim Community Church at 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 2, 2014.

at the First United Methodist Church, 110 E. Seventh St., Port Angeles. Parking and entry to the church’s social hall are on Laurel Street. Middents spent 30 years in the nuclear submarine force. Several years ago he headed a group of fellow clock enthusiasts in the restoration of two vintage street clocks in Bremerton, Washington. The clocks were made by Joseph Mayer, Seattle manufacturing jeweler and street clock maker. As a result of these projects, Middents became fascinated by Joseph Mayer and is now working on a book about his life and work. Mayer capitalized on the burst of county courthouse construction in western Washington in the decade before World War I, installing tower clocks in Tacoma, Everett and Montesano. Mayer installed the most interesting Howard

on June 22, 1928. He was raised on a small ranch in Ontario, California, where he attended schools, graduating from Chaffey High School and Ontario Community College. He transferred to University of California, Santa Barbara where he received a bachelor’s in Chemistry. Following graduation, he was employed at the Naval Civil Engineering Research and Evaluation Laboratory (NAVCERELAB); this later became the Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory, or NCEL, where he worked for 43 years. During this period, he spent two years in the U.S. Army teaching at the Chemical Warfare School at Fort Carson Colorado, and performing research at the Biochemistry Laboratory, Dugway Proving Grounds, Utah. Following discharge from the Army, Bob returned to work at NCEL. He later returned to Graduate School and earned his master’s and PhD degrees in Physical Organic Chemistry, during which he was awarded the Navy Civil Engineering Laboratory Fellowship for a year of study in paint chemistry at the University of Missouri at Rolla. Dr. Alumbaugh married Elaine Dorothy Witte on June 14, 1958, in Ventura, California. They have two sons, Dr. David L. Alumbaugh, a Geophysicist in Berkeley, California, and James R. Alumbaugh, a software engineer in Seattle, Washington. In 1997 Bob and Elaine moved from Ventura to Sequim, where they have lived ever since. Dr. Alumbaugh’s studies at the Naval Laboratory were concerned with paints and protective coatings, plastics, roofing materials and systems, and airfield joint sealers. He has many publications on these materials and their potential use at Naval Shore Bases and was often requested to present papers on results of his research at National and International Scientific meetings. During his employment at the Naval Laboratory, Bob was a member of the American Chemical Society, the National Association of Corrosion Engineers, ASTM International, the Federation of Paint Technology, and Sigma Xi. He was also a member of the Federal Roofing Committee, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Roof Advisory Com-

The hills are alive!

Sequim High’s operetta sings ‘The Sound of Music’ by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

You know the songs by heart. You’ve seen the movie dozens of times. But there’s still an audience who hasn’t seen or heard “The Sound of Music” — some of Sequim’s students. But that’s likely to change as the Sequim High School Operetta Club presents the stage production from May 1-17 at the high school auditorium. “We have a bunch of kids who have never even seen it on TV,” said John Lorentzen, musical director for the show. “That’s starting to change with the new Carrie Underwood version. But we’re introducing kids to music they’ve probably never heard before.” The semi-historical love story follows self-

doubting nun Maria Rainer, played by Sabrina Marunde, who becomes governess of seven children of widowed Navy Captain Georg von Trapp, played by Zach Campbell. Marunde, who takes the stage for only her second production, said she’s watched the movie about 500 times. “I’m too scared to watch it now because I don’t want to compare myself to Julie Andrews,” she joked. But director Robin Hall said she has a lot of confidence in Marunde. “Maria has some fire under her and Sabrina brings something to this character,” Hall said. “She brings spunk, if that’s the right word for it.” Marunde, who said she hasn’t seen a stage version of “The Sound of Music,” said she’s lucky to know the movie so well but isn’t playing it safe. “I go over my lines every night,” she said. Campbell, who takes the stage for his seventh production, said he’s watched the

Add vinegar and salt to kale and, with clean hands, rub and gently squeeze the kale until it just begins to soften and wilt (it will darken in color). Add oil, honey, and mustard, toss to coat and set aside while you prepare the rest, at least 10 minutes. Halve and core the pear and cut into thin slices. Trim the shallot, halve it lengthwise, and cut into thin slices. Add pear and shallots to kale, as well as some freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to mix. Add more salt or vinegar, to taste. Divide salad among plates, sprinkle each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of nuts and serve.

Kale and Pear Salad

THIRD IN A SERIES

Deadlines

Kale, native to the eastern Mediterranean region or Asia Minor, is one of the oldest members of the Brassica family (that includes cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower). Kale has been eaten by humans for thousands of years and fell from popularity in the Middle Ages, when cabbage became more widely available. But kale is making a comeback and it is easy to see why. Kale offers the same nutritional value as other Brassicas and other benefits as well. Kale is easier to grow than most of its relatives. It is cold-hardy and produces even as the weather cools in the fall. It can be grown in just about any season and most climates, although it does best in areas with cooler summers. Kale requires less space than other members of its family and produces more food (and food more quickly) because the leaves are eaten (not the flowers). If that’s not enough, kale is pleasing to the eye with curly- and flatleafed varieties that come in shades of green, blue-green, pink and purple. Kale is well suited to the North Olympic Peninsula. It can be planted in early spring (for a summer crop) or mid-summer (for a fall and winter crop). Overwintered kale often undergoes a growth spurt as the weather

Random Questions With Deon Kaptean The 119th Sequim Irrigation Festival’ first weekend, now called Crazy Callen Weekend, kicks off this weekend. For four years, Deon Kapetan has served as Sequim Irrigation Festival’s director. & Kapetan, who moved here in 1990 with her husband Kevin, started volunteering with the festival co-chairing the Crazy Daze Breakfast with Gail Neske. In 2003, she took over coordinating transportation, hotels, volunteers and more for the royalty float at parades and events before

taking on director duties in 2010. Kapetan, who has two children, C.J., 23, and Hailey, 15, said her family used to vacation here but she never imagined she’d move to Sequim. “ N o w I ’d never move,” she said. “It’s 15 minutes to the mountains and 10 minutes to the water,” she said. “Which fits our theme ‘Mountains to Sea... A Pristine Place to Be.’” The festival runs May 2-11. Read more at irrigationfestival.com.

Bonus Question 1: What’s your favorite part of the Irrigation Festival? Kapetan: My team. I love the board of directors because there are so many different personalities. I also love watching the royalty girls because in a year the girls’ spirits are different and their personalities change. It’s like watching your kid grow up in a year. Also when the Irrigation Float hits (the Grand Parade) it’s an emotional moment for me. It’s the climax.

Question 1: How did you get into your line of work? Note: Kapetan is sales manager and a loan officer for Cherry Creek Mortgage. Kapetan: I n 1994, I worked for a local fi nancial institution and I worked my way up the ladder. The lending field has changed a lot since then. The pendulum has been swaying to the other side to qualify, which is a good thing. It’s back to the basics. Now, it’s three or four times harder to get a loan closed. There was a lot more faith in the borrowers. It’s not just a handshake anymore.

Question 41: Who is one person you’d like to arm wrestle? Kapetan: My husband. We’ve Question 7: What is your favorite never arm wrestled before but we color? Kapetan: Today it’s going to be might try it tonight. It would be close. He’d probably let me win. blue. It changes on my mood.

Question 8: Favorite food? Kapetan; Potatoes/ Mashed potatoes. Breads. Question 15: Where have you lived? Kapetan: Utah, Bellingham and Sequim. I was born in Orem, Utah, and I lived there until I was 12. I’m the oldest of 10. We get together every few years. There are seven girls and three boys. The girls get together at least once a year.

Bonus Question 2: Have you ever owned a mood ring? Kapetan: In high school. I thought it was the coolest thing. I had no idea it wasn’t real. In Random Questions, community members draw five random questions out of 50 from a bag. For more information, reach Matthew Nash at mnash@sequimgazette.com.

Standard From page B-1

An odd location “The park is in a bit of a gray area because the majority of the park is owned by the city, but it is located outside of city limits,” K.C. Eaton, Sequim Little League Major Boys Division Manager, said. Given the park’s location and minimal use except from for Little League activities, it is almost entirely maintained by the Sequim Little League and volunteers. “Whoever can help out, does,” Eaton said. “We just make it work so the kids can play ball.” Sequim Little League does, however, own the parking area and Champion Field. In total, Dr. Standard Memorial Youth Athletic Park is home to Thatcher, Knapp, Murillo, Lotito and Champion fields as well as four T-ball fields. The fields were named to acknowledge the volunteers who worked during the late 1970s to create the fields and essentially shape the use of the park, Eaton explained.

City Council meeting notes, it wasn’t until 1982 that the park was officially named after Dr. James F. Standard. Karen Postma, Standard’s niece, said she has fond memories of her uncle at his house in Seattle where he practiced medicine for 17 years before he moved to Sequim in 1962. “My aunt and uncle had a big house in Queen Anne and I remember going to fun family gatherings there, especially around the holidays,” Postma said. “I also remember every so often he (Standard) would have to leave and go catch a baby.” After his move to Sequim, Standard pursued ongoing volunteer services for Sequim athletes in all sports. He became a devoted supporter of youth athletic activities within the area for nearly 20 years. In recognition of Standard’s longtime community involvement, the Reach Alana Linderoth at alinderoth@ park was fittingly named after him. sequimgazette.com.

Kale

maintains its body and crunch better than either spinach or Swiss chard.) Kale is delicious in stir-fries, soups and stews. Kale has no fat, is high in vitamins A and C and is a good source of calcium. Kale can be preserved by freezing. Plunge the leaves into boiling water for a minute and then quickly in a pan of ice water. Drain, pat the leaves dry and freeze in freezer bags. Kale seems made for the climate of the Olympic Peninsula. It is easy to grow, delicious and nutritious. If you are not yet a kale convert, what are you waiting for?

From page B-1 warms, providing another small crop in early spring. Kale can be grown from transplants or by direct seeding. The soil temperature must be 40 degrees or higher for good seed germination. Plant transplants or sow seeds starting 2 to 4 weeks before the average last frost date, continuing through mid-July or early August. Kale likes sun, but will tolerate partial shade. It enjoys welldrained, slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5-6.8) but will tolerate other less desirable soil types. Space plants 12 to 15 inches apart. Sow kale seed ½ inch deep and 3 inches apart with 18 to 24 inches between rows. When

plants are 4 to 5 inches tall, thin them to 12 inches apart. Because kale prefers soil that is moist and cool, mulch around plants with shredded leaves, newspapers or straw. Mulching also minimizes weeds and keeps the kale cleaner. Keep plants well watered. Harvest kale before it gets old and tough. You can begin to harvest individual leaves when the plant is 8 to 10 inches high. Always harvest the older, larger leaves that are closest to the bottom of the plant, taking stem-and-all. The plant will continue to produce new leaves from the top as it grows taller. Although tender leaves can be used raw in salads (see recipe below), kale is often served hot in recipes in place of spinach or Swiss chard. (When cooked kale

Bentz girls look for state repeat by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Depending on the day and who is wearing whose clothes, the Bentz sisters – Makayla, 18, Mckenzie, 15, and Jordan, 14 — may be a battling bunch. Jordan, a freshman, said the trio fights, like any sisters, but five minutes later they are over it. “It’s usually over clothes and using others’ things without asking,” she said. But when it comes to chemistry on the field, there’s no contest. “Softball is a huge priority in all our lives,” Mckenzie, a sophomore, said. “If (something) conflicts with softball it’s not happening. We kind of like it that way. It’s never really a question.” Makayla, a senior, said she rarely wants to be somewhere else. “If I could pick anywhere to be, it’d be on the softball field 95 percent of the time,” she said. The three sisters may be a first for Sequim softball, too. While the fastpitch squad has seen a number of sisters play together, the Bentzes may be the first trio on the team at once. This year, Mckenzie catches for Makayla, an ace pitcher, while Jordan plays varsity and JV in various

The Olympic Avalanche, a club basketball team for fifth-grade girls, is seeking one more player to fill out its roster. The Avalanche has compiled a 35-5 record in its first season, with five first-place finishes and seven finals appearances in 10 tournaments. The team is slated to play two more tournaments this season. For more information, call head coach Joe Marvelle at 460-4746.

roles. Mckenzie fills in at catcher for 2013 graduated catcher Bailey Rhodefer. “This is really the first season (catching her),” Mckenzie said. “If (Makayla) needed to pitch on the front yard, I’d sit on a bucket and just catch. I didn’t really like it at the time. Now it’s cool.” Makayla said she’s played with Rhodefer since she could remember but finds good chemistry with

her sister. “If one of us is irritated, we know that we can say something and nobody gets hurt feelings,” Mckenzie said. Mike McFarlen, varsity fastpitch coach, said there’s been a good transition at catcher. “Bailey just had more time to catch (Makayla),” he said. “Mckenzie is a good catcher. She loves it.” And while Jordan’s varsity time

may be minimal, he said she’s on varsity for a reason. “As she matures, she’ll be more successful,” McFarlen said.

54 innings and a 0.65 ERA through Monday. Two of her games feature double-digit strikeouts including a perfect game on March 26 against North Kitsap. “I threw to 15 batters and struck out 13 of them,” she said. “I didn’t give up any hits. No walks. It was my 18th birthday and we won 18-0.” Jordan even made a play at second to stop a hit and keep her sister’s perfect game in tact. Yet a perfect game isn’t even the one that stands out the most for the soon-to-be Sequim High School valedictorian. As a freshman, Makayla was brought along with the varsity squad to the state tournament as a substitute. In the opening game, Sequim, the district champions, were up 10-3 over Lynden which surged back in the sixth inning. Makayla was put in with runners on base and gave up a run tying it at 10 but finished the inning. The Wolves scored two in the bottom of the sixth and Makayla pitched a scoreless seventh inning for the win. Sequim went on to win the state championship that year. “I was this little freshman who had never really thrown at varsity who kind of saved the day,” Makayla said. “Oh she saved the day alright,” Melanie Bentz, the girls’ mom, said. “She didn’t even warm up.” “I literally walked out of the dugout and onto the field,” Makayla said. “Had we not won that game we would not have been able to win state. That was pretty cool.” “It was awesome,” Melanie said. “Who gets a win at state as a freshman?”

Right mindset McFarlen said Makayla understands and echoes the team-first mindset he tries to instill. “I tell the players that no one player is more important from the pitcher to the girls on the bench,” he said. “We try to instill to play as a team and we’ve been successful.” He said Makayla is a confident pitcher who works hard and goes out and does what she sets out to do. For example, Makayla said she wanted to improve her strength and pitching velocity in the offseason, so she worked out for three months everyday and gained 15 pounds of

Makayla Bentz’s pitching 2012: 8 wins, 1 loss, 67.2 innings pitched, 54 strikeouts, 2.90 earned run average in seven innings 2013: 17-2, 100 innings, 111 strikeouts, 1.61 ERA 2014: 9-1, 54 innings, 64 strikeouts, 0.65 ERA (through Monday, April 28) Cumulative: 29-4, 231.2 innings pitched, 229 strikeouts, 1.77 ERA

muscle. Alexas Besand, first basemen and one of the team’s three seniors with Makayla and Melissa Lewis, said Makayla is consistent on and off the field. “She listens and gives good advice,” Besand said. “You can be yourself around her and on the field is no different. It’s been like that for years. She doesn’t give up, works hard and strives to be the best pitching wise.” Shelby Lott, a junior center fielder, said Makayla supports everyone and always makes people smile. “She’s a complete player and even when a situation looks like it can’t be won, she does what she can to get us through.”

Beginnings Makayla and her sisters started playing baseball at age 5 or soon thereafter. Pitching caught her attention when she was 8. “The first time I saw it I thought oh my gosh, I want to do it,” she said. “They were in control of the game and involved in every play. I thought the motion looked cool. I tried it and it stuck.” Mckenzie has a good game of her own, too. She recalls pitching a perfect game, hitting a grand slam and a home run in one game while a seventh-grader. Last year she was backup catcher, outfielder and pitcher for varsity while playing some on JV. “I love catching,” she said. “If I could choose, it’d be catching but I’ll play where I’m needed.” Melanie Bentz said Mckenzie is a player that needs to be in the middle of the action. “She was the kid in the outfield picking flowers or drawing in the sand,” she said. Given the option to pitch or catch, Mckenzie said she prefers catching. “It’s not that I don’t like pitching. I love catching,” she said. “I go onto the field at practice hoping we do catcher drills and I get to do something in my catcher’s gear.” Jordan said she loves playing second base and shortstop and hopes to be a regular for the varsity squad in

One push But the Bentz sisters have one last goal before Makayla graduates and that’s to see how far they can go this postseason. “Last year when the seniors left I was a little bit nervous,” Makayla said. “We were losing four of our starting players. I think the girls who came up have filled those spots well. When we’re on, we’re on and we’re hard to beat. I can see us going far by playing the game we know how to play.” Mckenzie said they can keep getting better, too. “We can make a good run at districts and state especially for the seniors in their last year,” she said. “That’s everyone’s goal to make a statement.”

the years to come. Earlier this year, she had a highlight reel moment hitting a home run, too. “The coach looks at me as I’m up to bat. He gestured to hit over (the fence). I get up to bat and I hit it over. It was real exciting,” she said. The Bentz girls got into sports through their dad Dave, now the girls’ assistant coach. “He got us started and it became our own passions,” Makayla said. Dave took over coaching duties for Makayla when she was 9 and has since become the family’s resident softball expert buying videos and books and watching tutorials online all about the game over the years. As for mom Melanie, she was a coach early on but has become more of a super fan for their squads. “She’s never missed a game,” Makayla said. “Sometimes they have to split up if one of us is at JV and the other varsity.” Sometimes that would become quite the task for the Bentz parents with their girls on multiple squads. Mckenzie said she remembers going to three practices in one night while in middle school for tournament basketball and soccer teams and the softball team. Melanie said she hardly remembers much of the early days. “It was a blur,” she said. “We had three kids in four years. I love it now. They’ve all gone through phases … But they can’t imagine not having each other around.” This fall that will change when Makayla attends Pacific Lutheran University. Born and raised in Sequim, Makayla said she picked it for academics, ignoring softball, and likes that the campus isn’t too far from home. She plans to tryout for the softball team this fall though. “I’ve had the best experience playing here since I was really young. I’m going to miss it. Sequim is all I’ve known,” she said. Mckenzie said it’ll be hard on the whole family, including her, since she considers Makayla her best friend. “When Makayla is gone, I’m going to cry for months,” she said.

Sequim slips to tie for third in league BASEBALL

Wolves fall to Eagles, Vikings, Knights Sequim Gazette staff

The dog days of summer have come early for the Sequim nine. The Wolves (7-5 in Olympic League, 9-6 overall) saw their hopes for a league title take a hit after dropping three games last week, culminating in a 6-0 loss at Bremerton where they collected just three hits. The Knights’ Taylor Saylor out dueled Sequim hurler Tanner Rhodefer as Bremerton dropped Sequim into a three-way tie for third place with North Mason and Olympic, as the trip trails North Kitsap (9-3) and Klahowya (8-5).

Brett Wright, Evan Hurn and James Grubb had Sequim’s hits. Sequim was slated to take on rival Port Angeles on April 28. The Wolves are at Olympic on April 30 before closing the regular season with home dates against North Mason (May 2) and Bremerton (May 5). The top four teams qualify for the postseason.

Eagles fly past Wolves The host Klahowya Eagles had the last say in winning an 11-7 slugfest in Silverdale on April 23. After Sequim tied the game at 7-7 in the top of the third inning, Klahowya tacked on two runs in the bottom of the inning and another two in the fifth. Eight different Eagles notched RBIs in the league victory. Dylan Lott and Nigel Christian paced the Sequim offense with two RBIs each and Ian Dennis was 2-for-3 with an RBI. Brett Wright

NK upends Sequim North Kitsap starter Andrew Hecker tossed 6 1/3 innings of onerun baseball and Nash Gowin drove in two runs as the Vikings edged the Wolves in the Olympic League standings with a 4-1 win in Poulsbo on April 21. Hecker held Sequim to five hits and struck out seven. Sequim starter Nick Johnston took the loss, though just two of the four runs he gave up in five innings were earned; Sequim’s defense committed five errors. Sequim’s Nigel Christian earned the lone Wolf RBI, driving in Dusty Bates with a sacrifice fly in the first inning. The Wolves loaded the bases with two outs in the seventh inning, but Viking reliever Chase Bauer got Brett Wright to pop up to third base. Tanner Rhodefer struck out all three Vikings in relief of Johnston.

Wolves power past P.T. for league lead BOYS SOCCER Sequim Gazette staff

In a four-team race, Sequim’s Wolves are putting themselves in the lead. Thanks to a second half eruption of goals against Port Townsend on Friday night, the Wolves (11-2-0 in Olympic League play and overall) are in the top spot. Adding to Brandon Payne’s first

half score, Eli Berg, Tyler Ebert and Cameron Chase helped put the game out of reach with goals in the second frame. Sequim also had a Port Townsend owngoal 10 minutes into the second half. Redskin Max Meier trimmed Sequim’s lead BERG in half with a goal at the 54-minute mark making it 2-1, but Berg followed with a penalty kick score 10 minutes later.

Nic Baird had two assists for the Wolves. Sequim picked up a win in Bremerton on April 23, getting two scores each from Chase and Thomas Winfield. Berg doled out three assists. The Wolves have a bye on April 29 before playing North Mason (3-10-0) on May 1. Sequim hosts Olympic on May 5 before closing the regular season with a key match at North Kitsap on May 7.

SHS boys knock off Vikings, Knights TRACK & FIELD SHS girls earn split at Bremerton Sequim Gazette staff

Through last week’s Olympic League meet at Bremerton, Sequim’s boys track squad has been unbeatable. Sequim’s girls, nearly so. The Wolves’ boys improved to 6-0 with a double-dual meet win April 24 against North Kitsap’s Vikings (8262) and Bremerton’s Knights (86.5-56.5). Sequim’s girls dropped their first league de-

cision to powerhouse North Kitsap (91-55) but easily outpaced their Bremerton hosts (100-42). C.J.

GREYWOLF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

DISPLAY

Greywolf Elementary is a recipient of the 2013 Washington Achievement Award. Greywolf was recognized for High Progress in the areas of reading and math. The Washington Achievement Awards are sponsored by the Washington State Board of Education and the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. The selection process for these awards is very rigorous and students, parents and staff can take great pride in this accomplishment. Principal Donna Hudson, with some members of the teaching staff and district administrators, attended a ceremony in Lacey on April 24 to receive the award. The award will be presented to the student body during a June 9 assembly.

HELEN HALLER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL During the third trimester, Judie Lawson’s first-grade class is working on opinion writing. Here are some samples of the students’ work: In my opinion my favorite pet is a red blue bird. I like a bird because you can put the bird on your finger. You can make the bird fly. That’s why I like a bird for a pet. Izaiah Tuller In my opinion rattlesnakes are the best! My reason is because its tail rattles. It likes rocks. That is why I like rattlesnakes! Sterling Rowland In my opinion I like rabbits because they are fluffy. They also have Sponge Bob teeth. I like rabbits because they have fluffy fur. They have cute eyes. That’s why rabbits are so nice to have as a pet. Madison Cogburn In my opinion, chickens are the best pet. They lay eggs. I can eat the eggs for breakfast. Yum! Chickens have feathers. They are soft. That’s why I think chickens are the best pet. Sienna Dahlquist In my opinion my hedgehog is the best. I like hedgehogs because they have spikey spikes! My pet has spikes. It eats snails! That is why hedgehogs are the best. Evan Cisneros In my opinion I think cats are the best because they are soft and fuzzy, too. They are cute and fluffy. They are small. They don’t bite and

get to plant different plants and keep track of their growth. Ian Baylon I know some kids would choose library, music or science as the best specialist, but I say P.E. is the best, because you can play games like Popcorn. You also get to play Shark Attack and play lots of other cool games. You cannot be mean in P.E. and say things like, “I don’t want to play that.” You have to play right and do what is the right. I think P.E. is the best because it is important for you to be healthy. Addison Loewen

SEQUIM MIDDLE SCHOOL

Fifth-graders from Greywolf and Haller elementary schools recently visited the middle school for a fine arts presentation. The fifth-graders were escorted to the gym down a hall that featured sixth-grade work from art classes taught by Joshua Capps. In the gym, the fifth-grade visitors were treated to performances by sixth-graders in David Upton’s band class, John Lorentzen’s choir class and Tom Saffold’s drama class. This was to get fifth-graders thinking about their electives choices for next year when they come to middle school.

In next week’s ‘The Student Scene’: Students answer the query, “What happened during the era of reform?”

they are nice! That’s why I like cats. Ayla Adams In my opinion I like the dog. It does what you want it to. They play fetch with you. They do tricks. They have all sorts of things they do. That’s why my favorite animal is a DOG! Francesca Bettiga In my opinion my pet is a snake. The reason is they slide. This is how you take care of a snake. First, you give it water. Then you feed it rats. That is why I like snakes. Aeideon Crear In my opinion I like dogs. My reason why I like dogs is because

they are cute. That’s why I like dogs. Katie Burks I like bunnies. They are cute and cuddly. They hop when frightened. You can sleep with them. They like to eat carrots. And like to hide. Frank Johnson My favorite pet to have is a guinea pig. I like it because it is cute when it swims in a tub. Sometimes when you put a guinea pig in your pants it might go on an adventure. Also, their claws are sharp. That is why I like guinea pigs. Brendan Kuh In my opinion a skunk is the best pet. The reason why is it can be a guard and has stripes. That’s why! Gabe Wakefield In my opinion I like a bunny because it is fluffy. It likes carrots. And it likes lettuce. That’s why I like bunnies. Lisa Williams Potatoes are the best pet because you don’t have to take care of it except a few. You can eat it when you don’t like it. That’s why potatoes are the best pet. Keira Morey In my opinion I like bears. They can wave at you. That’s why I like bears. Gregory Fowler In my opinion a cougar is my favorite pet. I like cougars. They can run really fast. That’s why I like cougars. Cienna Dolan In my opinion I am going to get a cat. It is going to be beautiful. The color is black and white. The name is going to be Smokey the Cat. That is one of my grandma’s cats. A’Ki-ya Anchetta I love pets! In my opinion I always would want a pet dog because I like Rottweilers. They are cool! I like Dalmatians, too. Johanna Beckerley The best pet ever is a cat because cats like to cuddle with you. But be careful. They can scratch you. Ferris Cobb I like a unicorn for a pet. A unicorn is fun. It is cute because it is fun. Samantha Box

Christine MacDougall Danielson’s first-grade students also are working on opinion writing this month. In these pieces of writing, they are learning to respectfully disagree with someone else’s point of view and to persuade the reader to agree with them. Some people say that science is the best specialist, but I think that P.E. is the best specialist. The reason why I think that P.E. is the best is because you get to run around the gym. Also you can play games and you can do hula hooping, jump roping and stretches, too. That is why I think P.E. is best. Gianna Riccobene Most kids think P.E. is the best specialist to go to. They say you get to run and play. This makes sense because Mrs. Castell is a good teacher. Still, I think music is the best specialist, because music is fun. You get to sing songs and play the glockenspiel. You also get to listen to music, watch videos about music, play the piano with headphones on, and play games. That is why I think music is the best specialist to go to. Paige Krzyworz I think music is the best specialist. You get to play the glockenspiel and it sounds pretty. You get to play the piano, too. You get to watch videos. You get to sing and listen to the piano. Music is fun. Thursday is music and that is why Thursdays are a great day to go to school. Makenna Hillman In my opinion library is the best specialist because you get to check out books. I know others say P.E. is the best, but I think library is the best because Mrs. Omdal starts every class by reading a book to us. Tommy Reandeau Some kids think library is the best specialist. They say this because they get to get chapter books. This makes sense because chapter books are fun to read. But I think science is the best class, because you

Principal Shawn Langston would like to congratulate senior Angela Bentley, who will represent our school and our Legislative District as a Washington Scholar! It’s a huge honor and welldeser ved. There are 147 students from across Washington recognized a s Wa sh in g ton Scholars, with each Legislative District BENTLEY recognizing three students. Angela is being recognized as a Washington Scholar for her outstanding academic record, her involvement in school activities and for her leadership. Riley Stites’ Building Trades students have been working during the school year to refurbish an upstairs classroom in the old high school building. After installing drywall, they were ready to apply a finishing texture to the walls. Each student had a turn with handling the sprayer. Those interested in a tour of the old high school building, one that has been refurbished largely by Building Trades students and is now used for administration and meeting rooms, call the district office at 582-3260. This week’s scheduled performances for the Operetta Club’s production of “The Sound of Music” are Thursday, May 1, at 6 p.m., Friday, May 2, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, May 3, at 2 p.m. (See story, page B-1) The Class of 2015 is holding a fundraiser from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday, May 4, called DRIVE4URSCHOOL. Price Ford is bringing a variety of vehicles to the Sequim High School front parking lot. Anyone 18 years of age or older with a driver’s license may test drive a car. These are very short drives with a high school volunteer, not a salesperson.

Please turn out the lights How many parents say, “Please turn out the lights!” to their children? Hopefully a great many are working to teach their children about ways to save energy and how we can save our natural resources. One of the best ways to teach about saving energy is by talking about the importance of turning out the lights each time they leave their room. What about other ways we need to tune into our environment? Even in a previous column I have written about turning off the water while you are brushing your teeth. Even shorter showers help save water. If you don’t talk about the importance of saving water, no one else will. Water is probably one of the most important and limited resources in the world. One way you can teach your child to help save the world is by teaching her to not waste water. Even showing her pictures of how in some countries people walk for many miles to obtain the water they need. Talk about trash. Fortunately our country has become better (not good, but better) about recycling waste. We now need to be even better. You can teach your child to help by sorting trash at home. If you take

PARENTING MATTERS Cynthia Martin

things to the dump, they want it sorted by paper, aluminum, cardboard, plastic and glass. If you have trash pickup, they will have you sort their way. Be sure to teach her to put trash into containers and not on the ground. Let her know that you never throw trash out your window. Teaching her how to handle the trash your family comes in contact with will become even more important as years go by. Teach your child about recycling items that someone else can use. Goodwill or ARC are great ways to have used items have a chance to be reused elsewhere. Have your little one pick out the toys she no longer uses and then have her take them to some place that will use them. This teaches her about charity as well as recycling. Let her see you taking her old clothes that are good but no longer fit and give them to some group who will use

them again and maybe again. Even if you can teach your child to trade clothes or toys with another child, the items will seem like new. It is a bit harder to help her learn about keeping our air clean. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. Talk about the air quality and the importance of all of us being careful of what we burn, how many miles we drive and doing what we can to make the air better. We actually help make the air better by planting trees. Help her be involved with doing things in the yard which will teach her to be environmentally friendly. The best way to teach our children all of these things is by demonstrating their importance through your own behavior. Once again, you are her first and most important teacher. Become an earth hugger and teach her how to save the world in what she does every day. Earth Day was April 22, but Earth Day is every day.

OTA gets real local with ‘Sequimish’ Olympic Theatre Arts continues its performing arts contribution to First Friday Art Walk with “An Unusual Evening in Sequim — Tales from the Sequimish” on May 2. May’s unusual evening features original stories written and read by four local writers: Howard Chadwick, Tim Wheeler, Doug Mcinnes and Heidi Hansen. In addition, special guest Joe Borden, who has worked on the Irrigation Festival for 19 years, will be interviewed live on stage to answer the question, “So why does Sequim have an Irrigation Festival anyway?” “‘Tales from the Sequimish’ are stories you won’t hear anywhere else,” says Sharon DeLaBarre, Olympic

Campbell, a senior, said he also appreciates the path he’s taken to being the lead role. “As a freshman, I started in small roles and in a way I started from the bottom and worked my way up,” he said. “It’s cool.”

Theatre Arts board member. “Sequim has a wealth of talent. OTA’s An Unusual Evening in Sequim series provides the stage for that local talent to shine. Our only rules are that what we present will be original work and tell stories through the performing arts.” “An Unusual Evening in Sequim” begins at 6 p.m. in the Gathering Hall at Olympic Theatre Arts, 414 N. Sequim Ave. “Brilliant Traces,” this season’s fourth Main Stage production, starts at 7:30 p.m. on the Main Stage. Call OTA’s box office at 683-7326, which is open from 1-5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Or, visit www.olympictheatrearts. org or www.facebook.com/ olympictheatrearts.

This is the third time Sequim High School hosts “The Sound of Music” and Hall said it’s a play they’ve been looking to do for a long time. “As I tell my students, you should at least get to do one of these older shows like ‘Fiddler on the Roof,’ ‘The Sound of Music’ or ‘The Music Man’ when you’re in high school,” Hall said. “There’s a reason they are still so popular.” Hall and cast members agreed that the play is timeless for its music. “Even if you haven’t seen it, you know songs like ‘DoRe-Mi,’” Hall said. “It’s in our cultural references.” “This show is the epitome of a story you’ve heard of music healing people,” Marunde

We had a lot of children audition and I could have cast them all several times.” Marunde said her favorite part of the show is Mother Abbess, played by Ciara Westhoven, singing “Climb Ev’ry Mountain.”

“I gua ra ntee people will cry. It’s a tearjerker,” Marunde said. L orent zen, a lso t he Sequim School Middle and Sequim High School choir teacher, said it’s been 20 years since he’s participated in the musical. “With (Richard) Rodgers and (Oscar) Hammerstein, everything they write is beautiful,” he said. For the show, Lorentzen leads an eight-piece combo and said students seem to be most excited for “Sixteen Going on Seventeen.” This operetta marks his third time leading music in Sequim, while his wife Anne leads choreography.

“It’s amazing in a community of this size, everyone rallies,” he said. “(The operetta has) been part of the Irrigation Festival for almost 50 years. That’s really impressive. It’s great for the school to be part of the community.” Along with its regular performances, the operetta will perform at the Crazy Daze Breakfast, Arts & Crafts Fair and Irrigation Festival Grand Parade. Following this production, Hall and Peninsula Family Theater hold auditions for a summer production of “Les Miserables.” For more information on the operetta, visit shsoperetta.org.

BUDDY is a 2 year old Dachshund/Chihuahua mix. He gets along well with large and small dogs as well as cats. Buddy walks well on a leash, knows come and stay. He is not a barker and loves his people. This fun little guy has lots of energy and loves to run and play, so a home with another dog would work out nicely. He would need a secure fenced yard, though it neednâ€™t be large.
