Halfway down the pool on her first day with the Sequim High School swim team, freshman Anna White, 14, began to panic. “I could swim perfectly fine coming from the 12 feet into the four but going from the four feet into the 12 feet I would lose control and panic,” Anna said. “I couldn’t go past (halfway). I would just stop myself.” WHITE Anna was scared, she said. It had been more than a month after her 18-year-old brother Calvin Josiah “CJ” William White drowned July 19 in Lake Cushman. He drowned going from the shallow water to deeper water, his mom Peggy Roedell said. Anna was on her way to the water at the time of the accident with towels for everyone. Her family searched for CJ and about three hours after their 9-1-1 call CJ was found in 12-foot-deep water. Since then, family and friends remember him for his faith, friendliness, selflessness and much more. Anna said his death hit her hard. She spent the rest of the summer with her

Cracks keep Sequim High tennis courts closed

by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

The largest producer of farmed shellfish in the United States, Taylor Shellfish Farms, recently began the permitting process to establish a 30acre geoduck farm in Dungeness Bay. Although the world renown shellfish farm includes 11,000 acres of tidelands along the Washington coast and British Columbia, with numerous farms around the Puget Sound,

the proposed geoduck farm would be the first shellfish farm operated by the company in Clallam County. “We have a pretty robust permitting and review process, but would love to start farming as soon as possible,” Diani Taylor, fifth generation farmer for Taylor Shellfish Farms, said. Although Taylor said they’ve been working toward a potential geoduck farm in Dungeness

A fter a n a nonymous $25,000 donation, a fundraiser and months of gathering community contributions, officials with the Olympic Medical Center Foundation have collected the $50,000 required to reline the center’s hydrotherapy pool. “We’re obviously very happy we were able to do it,” Bruce Skinner, executive director of the OMC Foundation, said. “These are the types of projects we like to do.”

Funding gives group boost with education, volunteer programs The North Olympic Salmon Coalition recently was awarded a grant of $18,450 from the Benjamin N. Phillips Memorial Fund. The Benjamin N. Phillips Memorial Fund was established in 2006 by the estate of Joy Phillips to honor her late husband. The goal of the Memorial Fund is to make grants to nonprofit organizations improving the lives of Clallam County residents. About $250,000 is distributed annually, with grants ranging in size from $1,000$25,000. “This funding will allow us to incorporate educational programs and volunteer opportunities into our largest season of treeplanting of our history,” said Sarah Doyle, Salmon Coalition stewardship coordinator. “We plan to plant 30,000 trees along the streams of the North Peninsula and we want to provide the best possible experiences for our volunteer workers,” she said. “This will make it possible for us to continue to help our neighbors connect with this

land where we all live.” The 24-year-old nonprofit coalition, with headquarters in Port Hadlock and a field office in Port Angeles, focuses on salmon habitat restoration along the North Olympic Peninsula. It is one of 14 such Regional Fisheries Enhancement Groups in the state covering territory from Hood Canal to Neah Bay. Known for its leadership in the ongoing recovery of Endangered Species Actlisted summer chum salmon on the northeast peninsula, the North Olympic Salmon Coalition balances technical habitat work with community fun, program officials say. “As a small organization with our headquarters in East Jefferson County, we have had a hard time reaching the western portion of our region,” Andy McGregor, president of the Salmon Coalition board of directors, said. “A few years ago we made it a priority to increase our presence in Clallam County and we have made significant strides,” he said. McGregor noted that major habitat improvement projects in the Dungeness watershed include an estuary restoration of the 3 Crabs site in Dungeness and a project under way with the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe to remove invasive species and plant native trees on 75 acres along the Dungeness River. “This new funding will allow us to bring our education and volunteer programs to Clallam County, connecting community members with these amaz-

ing restoration projects,” Reed Aubin, education and volunteer program manager with the Salmon Coalition, said. “This represents the support we need in order to build on the great partnerships we have in the western part of our territory.” Deborah Moriarty, development director of the Feiro Marine Life Center, said, “We are excited to continue our partnership with the North Olympic Salmon Coalition and with the work proposed to improve habitat and educational experiences at Peabody Creek and throughout our region.” Feiro and North Olympic Salmon Coalition have worked together informally for years and have plans to incorporate hands-on habitat restoration work into educational programs with K-12 students.

About the coalition

T h e Nor t h Ol y m pic Salmon Coalition is a nonregulatory nonprofit organization that works with willing landowners and government agencies to perform salmon habitat restoration on the North Olympic Peninsula. Founded in 1990 by a group of dedicated community volunteers, the coalition was formed as one of 14 Regional Fisheries Enhancement Groups in Washington. Working in direct collaboration with the state, tribal governments and the communities of the Olympic Peninsula, the organization has worked for 24 years to restore degraded and compromised habitat through both small and large-scale restoration projects.

Food bank gets ‘new’ donation

Funds help with homework US Bank representatives Georgia Gale, Sequim branch manager, and Amanda Bell, universal banker, presented $2,000 to the Sequim Boys & Girls Clubs’ “Power Hour” on Nov. 12 from a grant. Mary Budke, executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula, said the money helps fund the national program where students earn points for doing homework, reading, learning sight words and finishing work sheets. When they accumulate enough points students can earn rewards like a movie party. The program goes one hour everyday after school and is led by staff like Jan Eadie, education coordinator. Every child in the club does homework for at least 30 minutes, Budke said.

Recently at the Newcomers’ Club monthly Appetizer Social, held at the Philbin home, those attending were asked to bring a nonperishable food item for donating to the Sequim Food Bank. In attendance as guests were Stephen Rosales and his wife Kimberley. Pictured here are Stephen Rosales, president of the Sequim Food Bank, accepting the food donations from Maggie Philbin, president of the Newcomers’ Club. All the local food banks are in need of donations of food and money at this time of year when so many in the area are in need.

Kudos to OMC staffers Olympic Medical Center’s board of commissioners and CEO Eric Lewis recently recognized four employees – Lenora Rohfling, lead RN at OMP Specialty Clinic in Sequim; Chris Reinhardt, sleep center technician at Olympic Medical Sleep Center; Dennis Gray, environmental services worker II in Environmental Services, and Susan Davis, clinical documentation specialist in the Case Management department – at the Nov. 5 board of commissioners meeting. The employees were lauded for their “above and beyond efforts to provide excellent patient care and support services.”

Before the first practice, Anna comforted her mom saying that she didn’t need to be there. “‘I’m fine. I’m fine,’ she told me,” Roedell said. “But at the end of the first day, she says, ‘Mom, I panicked.’ She was pretty upset but told me God helped her through it and Mark (Pincikowski) helped her through it.” Pincikowski, the Sequim High assistant girls swim coach, said he didn’t know Anna’s story before that day. “She told me she had a panic attack,” he said. “And after awhile she told me what happened.” Pincikowski shared his own story of loss with Anna. His brother was killed while riding a bicycle in 2009. “I told her that the pain is always going to be there,” Pincikowski said. “Little

things that are going to trigger the loss.” Anna said when she swam to 12 feet it reminded her of CJ just like Pincikowski told her if he drives near a bicyclist he’s reminded of his brother. “I asked if her brother would want her to have fun and accept her loss or bury her head and hide,” Pincikowski said. “She made the choice to move forward and that’s not easy for anyone nonetheless a teenager.” Through their first talk, Anna learned Pincikowski and CJ had similar philosophies. “What would CJ would do when he was afraid?” Roedell asked her daughter. “He would go and do what he was afraid of,” Anna said. For a few weeks to start the season, Roedell joined her daughter at practices sitting poolside at the deep end watching and encouraging her daughter. Anna White dives at a swim meet earlier this year in Eventually, Roedell spoke Freshman SARC. She took up swimming a little over a month after her brother to the coaches, Anita Benitez CJ drowned in Lake Cushman in July. Their mom, Peggy Roedell, and Pincikowski about Anna said Anna dives in memory of her brother. “Basically we can’t ever taking up diving instead of forget him,” Roedell said. “He’s constantly in our thoughts just at swimming because that’s times more than others.” Photo by Jim Heintz what Anna was most interaspirations as a girl were ested in.

Anna White, bottom right, was one of the swimmers/divers to go to districts for the Sequim High School team earlier this month. She dove and made the first cut but missed on the second. Anna said with diving everything goes so fast that it’s a rush. “A lot of people say they wish they could fly and in a way you are,” she said. Sequim Gazette file photo by Matthew Nash

family, particularly her eight siblings, and her brother’s best friends who would stay with them for a period of time. But come the fall, Anna had two goals from last school year — to get in shape for the track season and to join the swim team. Roedell, an experienced swimmer in her own right, said Anna came to her saying she really wanted to swim, dive and be a part of the swim team. “It really surprised me when she wanted to swim and dive,” Roedell said. “I was a little afraid. I wasn’t sure how she would emotionally handle it. But there’s something CJ taught us: Whatever your fear is that’s a reflection of your lack of faith in God. So how much do you trust God?” Roedell said she had confidence in Anna’s strength and ability and that she trusted God to face their fears. “I can’t tell you I didn’t struggle but it was really beautiful watching her go out,” she said. Initially, Anna said she turned to diving because she liked the thought of being able to do flips off the diving board but it became more than that. “I didn’t want to be afraid of the water or be afraid of being in the water,” she said.

nique before beginning. “I find a clock in the room when doing a forward approach,” she said. “There’s a clock right in front of me (at SARC) and I wait until it hits four. Then I count 1, 2, 3, and by then it’s on 7 and I say ‘go’ to myself. I do that to calm down and focus.” Through the season, Anna has put her focus on learning multiple dives, particularly her favorites the back dive and reverse somersault. Pincikowski said the girls often tell him they are scared to try something different like a harder dive. “But I wouldn’t ask them to do something if I didn’t think they’d go to the next level,” he said. Anna said those words and CJ’s motto stuck with her when trying a somersault straight dive. “My coach said you are only afraid of it because you’ve never done it before so I did the dive,” she said. “I didn’t necessarily complete it, but I tried.”

Being brave

can’t do it after three years.” Anna made the first cut at districts but didn’t go past the second, she said. “Most first-year divers don’t make it to districts and most freshmen don’t make it to districts but I made it and I started late in the season,” Anna said. Pincikowski said he was amazed at how Anna took on her fears so soon. But looking ahead, she’ll have to do it over and over to rise above this year’s successes. “She’ll need to have no fear (to become a state level diver),” he said. “Before districts, she was having anxiety in her face before every dive but at districts, she didn’t have that. She had confidence.” Getting past the point of nervousness took time for Anna, but she finds diving to be a lot of fun. She even earned the nickname “mermaid” for being quick and doing tricks in the water. “Everything goes by so fast that it’s a rush and awesome,” she said about diving. “A lot of people say they wish they could fly and in a way you are.”

For family Anna and her family have become water enthusiasts again since she joined the team. Roedell said she gave her children swimming lessons consistently since they were little including CJ who had multiple full lessons. “We do a lot of swimming,” she said. “I wanted my kids to be comfortable around the water.” After CJ’s accident, she called SARC and asked if there was a way she could privately reintroduce them all to the water before beginning private lessons again. “After they (SARC) shut down, lifeguards all donated two hours, basically one lifeguard per person,” she said. “Many of them we know from homeschooling and OPA (Olympic Peninsula Academy).” But Anna and her siblings, ages 7-19, all have a desire to be in the water, Roedell said. A few of them really want to learn to dive and Samantha, who was swimming while CJ drowned, wants to become a lifeguard. When asked if she’s a role model, Anna deferred. “I think it’s possible for anyone to be,” she said.

Pincikowski said his experience through the season was that Anna listened and adjusted her technique following his advice. She earned a spot at the diving district’s meet in early November, which is uncommon for a freshman, Pincikowski said. “Most people get stuck on reverse dives — doing a forward approach and taking hips and turning mid-air Reach Matthew Nash at — most people get stuck on mnash@sequimgazette. that,” he said. “Most divers com.

At full build-out geoducks are planned to inhabit up to 30 acres of a nearly 98-acre project area. “We have a planting cycle, but it’s farming … you can plan all you want, but that doesn’t mean it will always go to plan,” Taylor said.

Management practices In preparation, officials with Taylor Shellfish worked with independent consulting staff at Confluence Environmental Company to conduct a geoduck aquaculture biological evaluation of the area in September. The evaluation helps to document the area’s unique characteristics, such as the 17-acre eelgrass bed within the project area, and create farming practices specific to the area. Because of Dungeness Bay’s “dynamic nature” Taylor Shellfish officials plan to use a plot siting and adaptive management plan to help manage the farm in a way it won’t negatively interact with things such as eelgrass beds, according to the company’s geoduck plot siting and adaptive management plan overview. “Certainly, wherever we are we want to be profitable,” Taylor said. “Because we can’t farm when the water quality is downgraded, the health of the surrounding ecosystem is important to us.” Since geoducks can take anywhere from four to seven years to reach marketable size (about two pounds), protective netting is used as well as PVC pipe or a variation of culture tubes until the juvenile geoducks have matured for about two years. Because geoducks are considered a “delicacy” and there is limited habitat for farming them, the price for geoducks often is driven up

for

tion, Taylor said. The lack of alteration to the natural environment was one of the driving forces behind Taylor Shellfish officials’ desire to explore the area as a possible site for aquaculture. “We found it to be perfect for geoduck,” Taylor said. “Geoduck need suitable habitat and that tends to be flat, sandy beaches like at Dungeness Bay.” Except for passive recreation, possible wild harvest of oysters and clams by the property owners and ongoing restoration work in areas surrounding the project site, the property neighbors the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge. “The lease is for about 350 acres so we’re really only planning to farm less than 10 percent of that and feel there is enough space for everyone,” Taylor said. “We want to work with the community and not limit people’s recreational opportunities. We consider it really important that we become a part of the community where we’re at.” Historically the area was used for shellfish farming, Taylor said, but because of the degraded status of the bay by the Washington State Department of Health, a shellfish protection area was implemented and the bay has since reached a quality suitable for farming. Location The Jamestown S’Klallam Dungeness Bay doesn’t Tribe once had an oyster need much, if any, prepara- farm within Dungeness Bay, by the market, Taylor said. Although it fluctuates, geoducks currently are being sold at $30 per pound through Taylor Shellfish Farms. Once geoducks reach harvestable size, they’re removed using a hydraulic wand during low tide or at high tide by divers. Eventually, Taylor said, the company expects to create about 15-30 jobs within the county. “If it works (the geoduck farm), I think it could be a good thing,” Dave Croonquist, secretary for the North Olympic Peninsula Chapter of the Puget Sound Anglers, said. As a retired game warden and active on a number of committees and advisory boards, including WDFW’s Puget Sound Recreational Fisheries Enhancement Fund Oversight Committee and North Olympic Peninsula Coastal Conservation Association, Croonquist is familiar with local sports fishing activities within the area. Dungeness Bay gets little pressure from sports fishermen because it is fairly shallow, he said, and thus doesn’t predict a conflict of interest with the onset of a geoduck farm. “Common sense and good science are going to make the difference, but properly run it’s a win for everyone,” Croonquist said.

“They (Taylor Shellfish) plan to put in around 40,000 tubes per acre – such a large, intensive and beach altering activity shouldn’t even be considered at a pristine place like Dungeness Bay.” In addition to the wide array of species that have been documented within Dungeness Bay, the area experiences high winds, Hendricks said, and with the amount of plastics used in geoduck farming, she anticipates increased pollution to to be a result of the farm. Hendricks said the coalition has long been pushing for some type of marine zoning. “We’re not saying don’t do aquaculture, but there needs to be limits to the expansion of industrial aquaculture,” she said. To minimize potential side effects of the geoduck farm, Taylor Shellfish officials have various management practices to avoid any anticipated negative concerns. Examples of such practices include 16foot buffers from the eelgrass and kelp beds, no seeding of culture conducted in eelgrass or other biological sensitive areas, ongoing monitoring of surrounding environment and better adapting their farming procedures, regular patrolling of surrounding area to retrieve any debris and conduct harvest activities during tides where the least amount of turbidity will occur. “There will be no net negative impacts,” according to the company’s permit application. “Shellfish harvest may result in local and temporary effects, but not long-term effects.” However, Hendricks foresees lasting effects anytime a species, of any kind, is planted in such high densities.

but because of reoccurring closures the farm wasn’t economically viable, Kelly Toy, shellfish management program manager for the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, said. To assist with bettering the bay’s water quality the tribe worked closely with the DOH to identify pollution sources contributing its degraded state. “Aquaculture farms need good water quality,” Toy said. “They’re a good voice for an area. We know all about the project and don’t have a problem with it.” The tribe has a geoduck farm in Sequim Bay and with thorough management practices, Toy said, geoduck farms can provide ecosystem services such as providing refuge for juvenile salmon and a variety of prey species. Additionally, geoducks are filter feeders and can improve water quality.

habitat creation for certain species, increased water filtration and job creation, Anne Shaffer, Coastal Watershed Institute executive director and marine biologist, is concerned with Taylor Shellfish officials’ proposal for the geoduck farm in Dungeness Bay. “We need to ask and answer the questions to determine whether this is really the right place for this size operation,” Shaffer said. “It’s fascinating that this is being proposed along a shoreline that has been the site of literally millions of dollars for restoration work.” Among Shaffer’s concerns are the possible negative effects the farm could have on eelgrass beds, surf smelt and sand lance spawning habitat and the neighboring Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, which is “critical” habitat for winter migrating water fowl, she said. “We are concerned with the shear volume of the farm, the plastics and material used in farming, the uplands, vanishing wildlife and the overall wild nature of the county’s shorelines,” Shaffer said. Citizen representative for the Coalition to Protect Puget Sound Habitat, Laura Hendricks, “can’t believe anyone would apply aquaculture in this location.” The coalition Hendricks represents has been involved with geoduck aquaculture for about eight years, she said, and was active in getting the Washington Sea Grant, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrationfunded marine research and education organization based at the University of Washington to perform a six-year research program on geoduck aquaculture. “Our main concern is the expansion of shellfish aquaculture into natural habitats,” Hendricks said.

Courts

Sequim-Shiso Friendship Garden, the Guy Cole Convention Center and the Albert Haller Playfields were community funded and that’s the direction Parks thinks new courts must go, too. “My perception is that partnerships and collaborations are needed to get anything done nowadays,” he said. “The economy has changed profoundly and it’s going toward philanthropy, taxpayer-funded projects.” By starting the tennis fund, Parks thinks there is a possibility in the future for grants through the U.S. Tennis Association to help with construction and/or maintenance. “We’re very much solutionoriented,” Parks said.”The way we see it, we’re going to have to help the city and push them along.”

From page A-1 sprouting through the material despite filling in some areas with two to three coats. His crewmen haven’t gotten a chance to finish the courts, he said, because their priority has been working on installing a portable at Greywolf Elementary School. “Any break in the weather has been for that,” he said. “Getting classroom space is a huge priority.” Once the material is placed, McAndie said he’s not sure how long it’ll last. “It’s a stopgap measure,” he said. “We’re extending it to its maximum extent. If we get a better weather window, we’ll get the court striped and see how it behaves.” Dave Ditlefsen, Sequim High School athletic director, said if the courts are not repaired it will significantly impact the girls’ spring tennis season. With 30-35 girls traditionally playing, cutting players due to space may be one option, he said. Sequim tennis coach Justine Wagner already modified practices and matches in the fall for the boys team. Many junior varsity players couldn’t play and many practices focused more on drills than matchplay due to space and lighting issues.

Community court effort However, volunteers with a new group, the Sequim Community Tennis Fund, seek donations to install tennis courts in Carrie Blake Park for community use. Terry Parks, a recent transplant from San Diego, Calif., an educator and amateur tennis competitor, said the purpose behind the group is to bring awareness for new tennis courts. “We are trying to put our money where our mouth is,” Parks said. Parks, who is partnering with Wagner and Don Thomas, a local tennis instructor, said they want to emphasize the courts are for Sequim’s children, too. “Retirees can play in Port Angeles or Sunland has private courts or they can drive to Bainbridge Island,” he said. “They have options but kids and busy families cannot do that. They don’t have time or expenses.” The fund, Parks helped create, isn’t a nonprofit but exists as a

grassroots organization to build and support courts and maintain them, pay for free children’s and adult programs and equipment, he said. “People are being taxed to death across the country,” Parks said. “The idea is through charitable contributions we can put on those special events and help the kids most importantly.” Parks has been in conversation with Joe Irvin, special projects manager for the City of Sequim, to see if the city staff could find a spot for the courts. Tentatively, Parks said new courts, 4-6 of them, could go where the north playground is and the play structure could be moved. Irvin said the idea has been discussed with the City’s Parks and Recreation Board but not formally adopted. “There are multiple benefits with moving the playground to the south side,” he said. “It makes it a safer play area instead of families crossing the road and where (the playground sits now) is a relatively flat surface and could be minimal excavation for future tennis courts.” Irvin said city staff and councilors have indicated tennis courts would be a good amenity in the park but that’s where the discussions seemed to end. “Until we find ways to fund additional capital improvements, we

The city will have to seek grants and donations such as from the tennis club and/or budget for courts specifically, Irvin said. “I really want to work with Terry’s group to find a specific location,” he said. “I think there’s a way it can happen, it’s just not going to happen overnight.” In the past 10 years or more,

If OMC’s pool closed, Kellogg-Kilmer, along with 42 other patients, would have had to travel to Kitsap County to utilize an equivalent hydrotherapy pool. “OMC really appreciates the opportunity to keep the pool going,” Scott Kennedy, MD, and chief medical officer at OMC, said.

As the only public courts in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley, Sequim School District’s tennis courts are actively used by the community before, during and after school hours so long as school events aren’t going on. Pickleball players are active at Sequim Community School’s pickleball courts, too. Parks said pickleball isn’t a part of his group’s discussion, but the plan could be revised. At the high school though, he feels the cracks are beyond repair. “They are definitely unusable and a simple repair would not suffice,” Parks said. “We’re talking upwards of $50,000 for an overlay.” As for what amount the tennis fund volunteers seek at Carrie Blake Park, he’s unsure right now. “It’s not cheap,” he said. “Many courts now go with concrete because it’s much more durable and the maintenance is much more affordable.” A 2010 estimate showed it would cost $66,000 to repair the five school district courts – resurfacing the top three and placing new asphalt and materials on the bottom two. The Sequim School District’s recently proposed $59 million bond does not include a proposal for repairing or building new tennis courts. The Sequim Community Tennis Fund can receive funds at First Federal locations and by contacting Parks at sctf40love@gmail. com, terrenceparks@netscape.net or 360-808-7949.

sive because of the pool’s unique features, such as the underwater treadmill and an adjustable floor. Additionally, with more than 80 percent of the center’s patients on Medicare, Medicaid or other government insurance policies, the center is tasked with balancing the cost and variety of its services with lower governmental reimbursement rates, Eric Lewis, OMC chief executive officer told Gazette staff in July. “We don’t need to make any money (from the hydrotherapy pool service), but historically we’re losing about $6,000 per month,” Lewis said. OMC officials are still “early in the process” of reorganizing their approach

to the pool to ensure its future, Kennedy said, but already have shifted the staffing within the physical therapy department and are considering expanding the pool’s classes to include pre- and postnatal patients for example. To reduce costs, OMC officials have “kept the same leadership, but have increased the involvement of the physical therapy assistants,” Kennedy said. Both OMC’s administration and board were “overwhelmed” with the community support, he said, and will thus continue to think of innovative ways to make the pool “economically viable.” Reach Alana Linderoth at alinderoth@sequimgazette. com.

John H. “Jack” Munro Jr. March 23, 1932 - September 16, 2014

Jack Munro passed away peacefully on September 16, 2014 after losing his battle with lung cancer. Jack was born March 23, 1932 to Dr. John H. and Gladys Munro of Hanover, New Hampshire. Jack spent his early life being reared in Sunapee, New Hampshire attending school at Sunapee Central School through 8th grade. Jack graduated from Towle High School in Newport, NH in 1951. He enrolled in the University of New Hampshire and attended for one semester. He then enlisted in the United States Air Force completing four years of service and was honorably discharged in 1956. Following a short stint at Bentley School of Accounting, Jack was hired by the Boeing Company in 1957 and moved to Seattle. Jack worked for Boeing for 33 years his final position was Lead Expeditor in Flight Test on Boeing Field. He retired from Boeing in 1990 and moved to Sequim, Washington where he lived until his death. Jack was an avid golfer and was an active member at many clubs throughout his life including Lake Wilderness Golf Course in Maple Valley, Dungeness Golf Club in Sequim, and Peninsula Country Club in Port Angeles. Jack recorded 7 holes in one throughout his golfing career, a feat he was most proud of. At Jack’s request there was no service and his remains will be deposited along with his parents in the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

back to Seattle to visit grandparents when I was young. When we finally arrived in Sequim, I took my son and all four dogs and ran across the open lawn. “We’re home!” I cried. Soon after arriving, we rescued a second horse, a mare from a feedlot, a companion for our one-eyed gelding Jack. Her name is Jill. My mom followed two weeks later, arriving at midnight to her new home, a one-bedroom cottage on our property. This April, my dad decided to sell his Salt Lake home of 44 years, to also come north in search of his dream home with sea views. On his first day in town, he found it after 10 months of Internet searching: a one-level home amid huge pines, overlooking the strait where he thrills at watching eagles at eye level, deer frolicking in his yard and ships carrying goods to and from far-off places. My sister has thought of moving back to Washington after living the last 30 years in Orange County, Calif. She visited in April (for her annual pilgrimage to the LaConner tulip festival) and looked at a few homes while here. Last week, she purchased her first home … in Sun Meadows. Our home is on a quiet country lane where the most exciting happenings over the year have been due to a cow: helping our neighbors transport her from the Dungeness Creamery, escaping for a walkabout on Christmas Day, and delivering a calf in May; where we walk to the Agnew Grocery when we’re out of milk, dog food or wine. They have it all! We are in awe each day, watching eagles and hawks soar over open green pastures, my horses grazing in the fields against the backdrop of the Olympics (thanks to the selfless farmers and

the North Olympic Land Trust), lulled to sleep each night by cool breezes and the throaty chorus of frogs. “I can’t believe we live here,” we say to each other. What I like best are the misty mornings and the drama played out for all to witness each evening when the heavy curtains of clouds draw back to reveal the majesty of the Olympics that take center stage over the verdant valley. The laughing voices of my nearest neighbor’s children float on the breeze, across the pastures, their words indiscernible, like familiar lyrics that can’t be named. And when it rains, I don’t mind the drizzle or even the infrequent snow. Through the changing seasons, a constant and familiar fragrance in the air has calmed and reassured us. It is a blend that recalls our favorite vacation and camping spots: of soggy rain forests, sweet cut grass and wet leaves, lilac, and juicy, sunbaked blackberries. And, of course, lavender. Simply sitting on my patio instantly takes me to a Hawaiian beach or an alpine meadow. It’s an intoxicating scent, begging me to breathe deeply and gratefully. A year later, as we eagerly await new road trips, Sequim is slowly starting to feel like home, and with family and new friends it surely will be. Along the way, in trying to re-start or re-define my career, I dabbled at the idea of buying a book store and worked joyfully during the school year as a paraeducator. Now I find real contentment here, in telling these new stories of life on the peninsula … beginning with my own. Cheryl Smith is a Sequim resident.

William “Willy” Legate

February 22, 1939 - November 9, 2014 William “Willy” Legate, a resident of Sequim, died of an apparent heart attack on November 9, 2014 near his home. Legate was born in Pitman, Arkansas, a town so small it no longer exists, the ﬁrst-born son of Chester and Edna Legate, on February 22, 1939. The family joined the WWII Mr. Legate exodus to the West Coast, eventually settling in Southern California. Willy attended the University of Redlands, and while in college grew interested in the newest example of the bohemian intellectual tradition, the Beat Generation. Eventually he moved to Palo Alto, California, to pursue these interests. In Palo Alto he took up residence at the Peace House, a center for the study of non-violence led by Ira Sandperl, mentor to many San Francisco Bay Area peace activists, including Joan Baez. While at the Peace House, Willy became a close friend of two young beatniks, Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter, who would later became famous as the lead guitarist and lyricist for the Grateful Dead. For the next thirty years, Legate would continue to be associated with the increasingly successful musical group, a band which would eventually become a worldwide cultural phenomenon. Among his contributions to the band was his coining of the popular bumper-sticker phrase “There Is Nothing Like a Grateful Dead Concert,” seen on legions of VW buses for the past 40 years. He contributed writing to many Grateful Dead newsletters, and in later years served as the supervisor of their rehearsal hall and recording studio, Front Street. In the 1990s he adopted his daughter, Margarita Moselle, and moved to Sequim. He is survived by his daughter; his younger brother John Legate, of San Ramon, California; and his nephews Jason (Walnut Creek, California), and Todd (San Mateo, California). A celebration of his life is planned for November 30, 2014 in Mill Valley, California.

SEQUIM GAZETTE

More odds, ends from To submit a letter 147 W. Washington St., Sequim, WA 98382 the editor’s desk Phone: 360-683-3311 • Fax: 360-683-6670 A kind Sequim resident (who prefers to remain anonymous) recently dropped off a couple of items newspaper folks like myself consider treasures, both editions of the now defunct Sequim Press. The first was a special edition from April 10, 1981 — celebrating the newspaper’s own 70th birthday. The edition is chock full of historical photographs, from a rather undeveloped bit of land that would become the intersection of Sequim Avenue and Washington Street to the old Sinclair Hotel to a livery stable that Charles Lehman would turn into a meat market (and eventually into Lehman Mark and Pak). It includes a fine profile of Sequim Irrigation Festival Grand Pioneer Albert Haller and Queen Sonja Frick and, previews of the upcoming festival, several Sequim history articles and even a photo of Graysmarsh Miss Sequim Press: a Editor’s purebred calf that RonCorner ald Widman won for selling the most Sequim Michael Dashiell Press subscriptions. The second gem in the package was a fairly intact copy of the first-ever copy of the Sequim Press, dating back to April 8, 1911 — believed to be the first newspaper in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley (though there was a Clallam Bay Press from 1909-1911 with the same publisher, George W. O’Brien.) Most of the first couple of pages are dedicated to decidedly regional, national and international news (“Democrats Organize House for Extra Session of Congress” reads a page 1 headline, “China Swept by Black Death” is a page 2 header), but skip to page 3 and you get some good, near-turn-of-the-century, small-town news. Under “Locals” we learn that “Lon Taylor’s forty acre farm; a crew under contractor Dover is building a large barn and fine new home” while “A meeting of the Sequim Athletic Club will take place on Tuesday evening” and “The Sequim mail carrier asks the Press to warn people along his route not to drop loose money in the mailboxes (he urges patrons to discontinue the practice and buy stamps at the post office). My favorite part is the “In Brief” column, which tells us several important items: “Miss Elizabeth Brown is quite ill.” “Fred Farmer from Seattle was here Wednesday.” “Fred Long left here this week to join his father at Wenatchee.” “Mrs. E. Webster is at Dungeness today with a military display on sale.” And, “Mrs. Lou Doran and Mrs. Good, daughters of A.O. Nelson, are visiting from Seattle at the old home.” A “March Report of Sequim Schools” tells readers that the school month closed March 31 with a “somewhat decreased attendance, some of the older boys having to leave for the spring work.” Names of students who were not absent nor tardy were listed. A third of the front page was filled by an ad for C.F. Seal’s “Big Stores” in Dungeness and Sequim. An annual subscription to The Sequim Press cost $1.50 per year and published on Saturdays. In his note to readers, publisher George W. O’Brien wrote, “We desire a paper that will be useful, newsy and independent and we see no possible reason why any rightly conducted newspaper can fail to be a success in this locality.” O’Brien’s words echoed for more than 70 years. According to the Library of Congress, The Sequim Press closed for good May 15, 1985. Many thanks to our generous reader who thought it important to have these pieces of history preserved at a newspaper office. We’ll take care of them.

Consider Soulumination I’m imagining our dear readers all have their favorite local charities they enjoy giving to each year. Here’s a quick plug for one that’s not necessarily local but is a nice one to consider — and it does have a local tie. Soulumination is a Seattle-based nonprofit dedicated to providing free professional photography for families of children with life-threatening illnesses. The organization is sustained only by donations. More than 160 volunteers and 40 photographers donate their time and talent. They’ve given some comfort to more than 1,200 families in past decade. They are a 501(c)(3) organization so gifts are tax deductible. A little background about Soulumination: Founding director Lynette Huffman Johnson began photographing families and children in 1984. She, along with brothers Phillip and David, and sister Patti, grew up in Sequim. She graduated in the top 10 in her class at Sequim High School, opened a florist shop in Port Townsend, met her husband, Doug, and had children. A little more than 15 years ago, her sister-in-law asked her to photograph Johnson’s niece Lanie, who was stillborn. “The day that I photographed Lanie, I walked out on the street. I had been sobbing and crying but it came over me that if anyone could do this for somebody, I’d do it,” Lynette told me, in a story I wrote back in 2007.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR The question, “What are your recreational alternatives if the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center’s February levy fails — have you educated yourself on the consequence?” If you haven’t a use for a public amenity such as a full-service recreation center, I would suppose none … even though it adds value to your land holding! If you’re a small business that depends on new arrivals as clientele, you might think what draws people to Sequim! When realtors show properties,

Opinion

SARC is shown as an inducement, one of Sequim’s positive amenities. If your young child wished swimming lessons, I would presume a more personal understanding of the question. Yes, you could travel to Port Angeles’ William Shore Pool; they may have room for you! If you’re a parent of a high school athlete that competes in multiple sports, track and swim team … the alternative is? If you’re a young adult who swims and pushes weights or plays handball or basketball, then

SEQ

you to could join William Shore and the YMCA. That alternative will cost an adult not only travel time but almost twice the yearly fees (of SARC)! If you’re a senior as I am, “Do we need to be driving 30 or more miles between pool and gym to recreate?” Yes, there are other local gyms! But they’re not full service and we all enjoy the many facets of SARC’s family friendly scheduling. It’s paramount that you understand this ballot will determine the life of one of Sequim’s major amenities. Jan Richardson Sequim (Richardson is a SARC board member.)

This mixed use facility receives over 250,000 visits a year and has over 3,000 passholders. SARC hosts the Sequim School swim teams and in the past year alone has taught over 600 students how to swim. The fees paid by the users cover about 80 percent of the cost of operating the facility, which is much higher than the national average of 65 percent over-the-counter revenue for mixed use facilities. SARC is within walking distance of retirement residences, medical facilities and the school campus. It is the only facility where you can find a post-cardiac patient doing exercises at the same location as a secondgrader taking swim lessons! If nothing is done to change the financial status of SARC, SARC will not be able to present a balanced budget to Clallam County for 2017. SARC could close the doors in December 2016. That would be the end of the community facility that was built with tax dollars and would terminate the community support of swim teams, swim lessons and the presence of a public recreation center in the SequimDungeness Valley. The levy funds are earmarked for replacement of the original air handling unit that removes chlorine vapors from the pool area, removal and replacement of the exterior vinyl siding, roof repair and also reinforcement of the interior pool shell. All these repairs must be done to maintain the structural integrity of a 26-year-old facility. Additionally, there are presently more energy efficient options available now than when SARC was built so the initial investment would save money in the long run. As an organization created to serve the community, SARC keeps fees at an affordable level to best serve the community and reduce the tax burden on the voters. Now it is your decision … should this community have a public community recreation area that includes an indoor pool? Please vote yes. For more information, see www.CitizensforSARC.com or find us on facebook. Susan Sorensen is a former member and president of the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center’s board of directors.

America. Three. Million. Chances are, if no one is wearing a “Frozen” dress right now, YOU ARE. My wife and I are fortunate enough to live in trick-or-treat central (i.e. within four blocks west of Carrie Blake Park) and we got about 175-200 trick-or-treaters this year. Not bad, really. Last year, I actually counted the little pseudo-devils and angels, to the tune of 235 in all — 130 girls, 105 boys. Twenty-two princesses, 18 zombies, 15 fairies, nine ninjas, etc. Yes, I counted. How OCD of me. This year, I didn’t have the patience to do the same but yes, I can attest to a great number of

I have read countless letters to the editor on why we supposedly need to force people to pay taxes to “save the SARC.” Most of these letters discuss the need to “save the pool.” SARC board members have often pointed out that other “public pools” receive tax subsidies as part of their revenue. But we aren’t voting on whether or not the taxpayers in Clallam County should help fund a public pool in Sequim. We are voting on whether or not we should subsidize what has become a private gym. Guest SARC claims to have O pinion 3,000 members. Many of t he se mem b ers Kristin Lamoure asked for more equipment a nd cla s se s, with lower fees. SARC obliged and now projects a continued budget deficit of close to $100,000 a year. The board states that if they ask their current members to pay more in in fees, they may lose those who could not afford the increase. Ironically, if the SARC levy passes, many of those members could pay close to that increase anyway, but in the form of a tax. Consider this: If the yearly deficit of $100,000 were divided by the current 3,000 members, it would amount to $33.33 per year or $2.77 per month. This is very close to the amount that SARC claims is affordable for every home owner in Clallam County, whether they use SARC or not. It’s interesting that they feel it’s affordable as a tax increase to an already heavy tax burden, but it’s not affordable as a membership increase to those who use the SARC. SARC’s website emphasizes needing additional funds for structural repairs, including upgrades to the pool. What taxpayers may not know, however, is that SARC plans on spending at least $300,000 in upgrading and repairing exercise equipment, including equipment that was purchased less than a decade ago. That is an excessive allotted amount and it creates an unfair competitive advantage over other fitness facilities in

Annas and Elsas. More disturbingly, however, were the number of costumes to which I queried, “What are you?” and the youngster simply shrugged and said, “Dunno.” C’mon, kids! Get a theme! You don’t have to go buy another “Frozen” dress or whatever, but, you know, put a little effort into it! As my arm can attest, the folks tossing the candy are.

When it rains … In addition to Sequim’s and Port Angeles’ school construction bond proposals and SARC’s levy proposal, two more peninsula neighbors entities are going to

Clallam County. Instead of using surplus funds to fix the current structural problems, SARC added new equipment and classes after privately funded businesses already were affordably providing those things. Adding classes and equipment has increased costs and created a precedent that taxpayers should not be forced to maintain. SARC tries to appease its members by seeking feedback on its social media page. A recent post said, “We are working to lower the rates … and improve our services.” What does that mean? How is the SARC working to lower rates? Does that mean pleading with taxpayers to subsidize those rates and upgrade equipment? To truly “work to lower rates and provide better service,” SARC should focus on the niche that they were created to be: a public pool and recreation center. To work as a public facility, they should not shamelessly compete with private gyms. To work to improve their image as family friendly, they should not try to appease the vocal members who don’t want to share the facility with children. To WORK to keep things affordable for the community, they should not try to pass a levy. Instead, they should charge a little more to SARC patrons who demand more. If that was the WORK that the SARC board was doing, perhaps we could have a conversation about whether or not we should help fund a public pool and rec center. Instead, the board is working to collect $2,600,000 from Clallam County taxpayers to subsidize what has been marketed as a private gym. Only now, when the board wants public money, do they emphasize their public pool. But since SARC refuses to cut back on other costly services and equipment, then this is not a vote about saving the pool. This is a vote about saving SARC members increased dues, while allowing them an ever expanding facility. Vote no. Kristin Lamoure is a Sequim resident and owner of Sequim Gym.

voters on Feb. 10. The Chimacum School District is eyeing a $34.8 million bond and Port Townsend is seeking a fouryear, $13.3 million replacement levy for school maintenance and operations. According to Port Townsend’s The Leader, Chimacum’s bond would go toward a long list of facility improvements, including demolition of a 1948 elementary building currently serving students in preschool through fifth grade and, before that building is taken down, new classrooms and support spaces for those grade at the district’s primary school.

And finally ... Kudos to Chimacum! Our sister paper, the Peninsula Daily News, reports that “Chimacum” — suggested by a Chimacum High School graduate — will be the name of the newest Washington state ferry. The state Transportation Commission last week picked the name, one expected to be delivered in 2017 for the Bremerton-Seattle route ... thereby completely ignoring the Gazette newsroom’s choice for the new ferry’s name: “The Kraken.” Reach Sequim Gazette editor Michael Dashiell at editor@ sequimgazette.com.

The question that the voters in the Sequim School District need to answer in February 2015 is, “Should this community have a public community recreation center that includes an indoor pool?” For the many residents who have relocated here in the past 13 years, you may wonder, “Why does SARC need money now? I have not been paying anything for the past 13 years and I don’t use the facility.” As a quick review, Sequim Aquatic Recre at ion C enter was built 26 years ago when the local community decided Guest that an outdoor pool O pinion that was open three months out of the Susan Sorensen year was inadequate. Funds to build the original facility were obtained from a bond issue passed by the voters, plans were drawn and the pool, gym and racquetball courts were opened to the public. Since the initial opening in 1988, two expansions have been added to better meet the needs of the users. SARC was created to serve the entire community. You will be asked in February 2015 to make a difference for the sake of the community. The requested levy amount will be 12 cents per $1,000 of (assessed) property valuation for a period of six years and generate about $2.5 million. For example, if you live in a home valued at $300,000, you would pay $36 a year for six years. According to Tom Montgomery, a Realtor with John L. Scott, SARC is one of the key community features that buyers consider when deciding whether to relocate to Sequim or someplace else. A continuing flow of incoming buyers is essential to the protection of property values. For those on limited Social Security income-only residents, tax exemptions are available. SARC is a junior-taxing district, like the library and fire department. For the first 13 years of operation, SARC received levy money to offset the cost of operating the facility. Since 2003, SARC has used over $100,000 per year from the reserve account to balance the $1 million annual budget. SARC has not received any funds from the city, county or state during the past 13 years.

Deputies up enforcement patrols during holidays Sequim Gazette staff

Tooth Truth

with Richard (Bud) Davies, DDS Family Dentist

WHEN IT HURTS

When teeth hurt we know something is wrong. Maybe tooth decay has gained the upper hand. Maybe a cracked tooth or a traumatized tooth hurts. How about the less obvious signs of problems that warn of coming problems? A bad taste in the mouth or a dark shadow on the tooth can warn of tooth peril. A minor twinge of pain from hot, cold or biting something hard could turn into a more serious problem. The best policy is to have regular yearly checkups with x-rays so the minor symptoms as well as the unnoticed problems can be detected while they are easier to manage. Remember that most dental problems are not painful till they become critical. His office is located at 321 N. Sequim Ave., Ste. C. (360) 683-4850 www.Sequimsmiles.com

or other drugs may cost up to $5,000 for a first offense. Penalties include jail time, lawyer fees, suspension or revocation of one’s driver’s license, fines, court costs, an increase in auto insurance, mandatory attendance at Traffic School and the DUI Victims Panel, impound fees and attendance at an alcohol/drug information school or substance abuse treatment program.

A DUI conviction also may include emergency response costs, electronic home monitoring, vehicle towing and storage fees. Legal penalties also may include having installation of an ignition interlock unit being placed on any vehicle one drives. Officials urge those who become impaired to call a taxi, have a sober designated driver, have only one drink per hour, to eat food to slow down the absorption rate of alcohol or stay at a friend’s house or a hotel if too intoxicated to drive.

ing a psychiatric crisis who need immediate local care. Residents have had to be hospitalized as far away as Bellingham and Longview, and more than 36 percent of those served have had to be held for days at a time at Olympic Medical Center because available psychiatric beds could not be found. Providing local crisis care will reduce the cost of expensive inpatient treatment for many residents, officials said, as well as alleviate pressure on families, the OMC emergency room, Port Angeles and

Sequim Police departments and Clallam County jail. The project is led by Peninsula Behavioral Health and its executive director Peter Casey. Fundraising efforts and collaborations included Clallam County, Olympic Medical Center and the Washington Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery, totaling more than $400,000. Located in the former St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store building, the community is invited to an open house from 3-5 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 4, to celebrate the program.

a series of methamphetamine related crimes. Spaulding is charged with four counts of delivery of methamphetamine as well as maintaining a premises for drug trafficking. Gort is charged with two counts of delivery of methamphetamine as well as maintaining a premises for drug trafficking. All of the offenses occurred within 1,000 feet of a school bus stop. During a three-month investigation (SeptemberNovember, 2014), OPNET members developed probable cause to believe that Spaulding, who is a registered sex offender, and Gort were using their public housing apartment to distribute methamphetamine in Port Hadlock. Investigators from several agencies including Sequim Police, Clallam and Jefferson County Sheriff’s Offices, U.S. Border Patrol and Coast Guard Investigative Service assisted OPNET with the investigation. After Spaulding and Gort were arrested by Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputies, children who lived in their apartment were taken into protective custody because there was probable cause to believe that the children were endangered by the drug activity in the apartment. Also during the investigation, a car used by Spaulding and Gort was seized because there was probable cause to believe that the car had been used to transport methamphetamine from out of the area into Port Hadlock.

Uncover gems from the Bert Kellogg Photo Collection

Off the Shelf Sarah Morrison

Whether you are researching your family’s roots, interested in the past lives of the house you live in or are simply curious about the history of life on the Olympic Peninsula, the Bert Kellogg Collection — a trove of historical photographs curated by the North Olympic Library System — is a splendid place to start. Documenting everything from bridges of the late 1800s (planks laid across a frozen river, balancing on snowy banks on either side) to soggy logging camps, from family portraits to railroad accidents, the Kellogg Collection consists of over 5,000 images from around Clallam County and the Pacific Northwest.

About the collection When Bert Kellogg moved to Port Angeles in 1940, he began making copies of photographs and negatives owned by his friends and neighbors. After an accident left him with only 10 percent vision in one eye — and blind in the other — Kellogg developed a passion for photography, aided by a special lens. Over the next 30 years, he carefully collected and restored images from the 1870s through the mid-1900s, documenting the places, people, native customs and landscapes of his new home. In 1970, he donated his collection to NOLS. Thanks to grants from the Washington State Library and Institute of Museum and Library Services, most of this collection — more than 3,000 images — is now digitally available on the library’s website.

To begin exploring the images, start at www.nols.org. Select the “E-Resources” link from the top of the page and click on “Local Information.” You’ll see a link to the Kellogg Photo Collection on the right side. Once there, you can begin searching by a personal or place name, by an identifying feature or type of structure (such as “salmon” or “school”), or by any other term that strikes your fancy.

You may notice that NOLS isn’t alone in making unique historical images available: 32 additional collections, representing the combined efforts of public libraries, historical societies and archives are searchable through the Washington Rural Heritage website (www.washingtonruralheritage.org/). Visitors may browse those collections individually or search multiple collections at the same time. Many of the people in the images are listed only as “unidentified person.” Because the images were collected from numerous sources and included boxes and trunks at rummage sales, library

staff have never known the names of these individuals. If you see a family member you can identify, contact NOLS to share your information. Trained staff and volunteers continue to scan, upload and catalog the remaining portion of the collection. If you can’t find an image you’re looking for or have questions about the library’s online resources, contact NOLS at ehelp@nols. org or call the Port Angeles Library at 417-8500. In the meantime, happy exploring! Sarah Morrison is a librarian at the Port Angeles Library.

Sequim looks to pin down wins Wolves’ numbers grow with nine new girls on squad

Sequim High School wrestling preview

by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

The face of Sequim wrestling is changing. Following two winless team duel-meet seasons, the Wolves look to power their way back up the Olympic League and state rankings with 39 athletes. The biggest change for Sequim is adding nine girl wrestlers, mostly freshmen, who moved up from Sequim Middle School. Assistant coach Bill Schroepfer credits the increased interest in the success of returning girl wrestlers Kaylee Ditlefsen and Sophia Cornell, both seniors, and sophomore Alma Mendoza. “Some of these girls wrestled with Alma in middle school and saw her success,” he said. “They also see that this isn’t a gross sport and that girls like Kaylee, who was a cheerleader, does it.”

Sophia Cornell tries to escape Alma Mendoza’s grapple during starting exercises. Last year, Cornell competed at state with Kaylee Ditlefsen while Mendoza was just out of the mix at the regionals tournament.

Cornell and Ditlefsen were Sequim’s only representatives at state last year with Ditlefsen placing eighth at 130 pounds and Cornell (106) going 0-2.

Head coach Charles Drabek said he also attributes the growth students. “Many girls thought they could of the team to former Sequim Middle School teacher Anthony do it,” he said. “And now there Gowdy promoting wrestling to See WRESTLING, B-7

Wolves eye third district playoff spot Returnees give Sequim squad a shot at postseason by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

Call it Sequim’s home away from home. With the closure of Sequim’s only bowling alley in June, SHS’s bowling squad hits the road to Port Angeles’ Laurel Lanes when they need to practice their pindropping, and not just for their official league matches. Sequim head coach Randy Perry says though that doesn’t help for the first part of the season, it may pay off in the end. “It hurts — I can’t just throw a couple of extra practices together,” Perry said. “(But) to be able to

P.C. puts 11 Pirates on all-star squads Sequim Gazette staff

Peninsula College placed six women and five men on their respective West Division All-Star Teams and Pirate head coach Kanyon Anderson was named West Division Co-Coach of the Year, announced Nov. 11 by the Northwest Athletic Conference officials. Winning All-Star spots for the West Division champion Peninsula women are Alyssa Bertuleit (sophomore/ Sparks, Nev.) at forward, Paxton Rodocker (sopho- BERTULEIT more; Port Angeles) and Brittney Yoshimura (sophomore; Mililani, Hawaii) at midfield, Kamryn Barney (sophomore/Snohomish) at defender and a sweep of the two keeper positions with RODOCKER Emily Flinn (sophomore/ Forest Grove, Ore.) and Kasie Lough (sophomore/Roy) both earning honors. Bertuleit tied for fourth in the NWAC with a team-high 10 assists while Flinn and Lough combined for 13 shutouts. Because of their win in the semifinals, P.C.’s women did not play in the NWAC women’s all-star game on Nov. 16. For the co-West Division champion men, all stars include forwards Eddie Benito (freshman/Vista, Calif.) and Caio Maciel (sophomore/ Salvador, Brazil); midfielders Kassio Monteiro (sophoBENITO more/Sao Paulo, Brazil) and Keevan Webb (sophomore/ Victoria, B.C.), and defender Brodi Keefe (sophomore/ Victoria, B.C.). Maciel led the Pirates with 10 goals while Benito added seven goals and four assists. MACIEL Peninsula helped the North-West All-Stars earn a 1-1 draw with the South-East All-Stars on Sunday. “Our women’s and men’s teams are both very talented and deep,” Rick Ross, Peninsula College’s Director of Athletics, said. “The 11 players honored are very good athletes, outstanding young women and men, and represent us well.” Anderson, who coached both the women and the ANDERSON men this year, shares the West Division’s Coach of the Year award with Jason Gjertsen of Tacoma. “I was pleasantly surprised with the camaraderie among the coaches in the West Division and I am grateful for this award,” Anderson said. “The West Division coaches who voted on the All-Stars had lots of choices,” Ross said. “(Anderson) is an outstanding coach. It was very fitting that he win another Coach of the Year award. He worked very hard, not only to coach both teams this year, but also to complete the recruiting for the men’s team and to get them into a position to reach the playoffs and possibly repeat as NWAC champions. It didn’t play out that way, but that’s sports.”

Only one of the top teams in the state could keep Sequim High’s senior-laden volleyball squad from topping the Olympic League this season. Three of those seniors are getting some postseason recognition from their 14-5 season. Emma LeBlanc is the second Sequim player to earn All-League Defensive MVP in as many seasons after leading the Wolves with 402 digs — 21.2 per game — and 298 during the regular season. She also led LeBLANC Sequim in serving at 95.8 percent for the season and missed just five serves in the regular season. Hannah Hudson won the award for Sequim in 2013. Also earning all-Olympic League first team honors were seniors Alyse Armstrong and Emily Wallner. Armstrong, who also was named to the league’s first team in 2013, led Sequim with 147 kills and 26 blocks, and was second on the team with 198 assists and 35 aces. Wallner, an all-league honorable mention last fall, led Sequim with 241 assists (12.7 per game) and 55 aces, and was second on the team with 105 kills and 16 blocks. Junior Rylie Roberts earned her first all-Olympic League honor after being named to the second team. Roberts was second on the team with 190 digs and third with 78 kills and 34 aces. North Kitsap’s Sarah Holt was the repeat winner of the Olympic League MVP award despite missing four

weeks with an ankle injury. Holt and the league champion Vikings placed second at the state 2A tournament, falling to Tumwater in the finals. Clay Blackwood of Bremerton won the Coach of the Year award while the Olympic Trojans took home the Sportsmanship award.

Girls soccer Sequim’s Wolves finished 2-10 in the Olympic League and 5-11 for the campaign but still saw two players earn kudos from league coaches. Midfielder Shelby Lott earned a spot on the all-league first team, pacing the Wolves with six goals and four assists on LOTT the season. Teammate Maeve Harris, also a midfielder, was named to the league’s second team. She had four goals and six assists. North Kitsap midfielder Gemma Ferland took home the league’s

MVP award. North Mason’s Mitchell James and Port Angeles’ Scott Moseley shared the Coach of the Year award while North Mason took home the league’s Sportsmanship honor.

Cross country By virtue of their top-10 finishes at the Olympic League championships on Oct. 23, a quintet of Sequim boys and two Sequim girls were named to the all-league cross country list. Seniors Mikey Cobb and Peter Ohnstad and juniors C.J. Daniels, Brendon Despain and Jackson Oliver each raced to top-10 finishes at league — teammate Chris Jeffko was 11th, missing all-league status by one place — en route to the Wolves’ second-place finish at the 2A state meet, the best finish in the program’s history. It’s Cobb’s third all-league honor in four years. For their efforts, Sequim head coach Harold Huff was named the Olympic League’s boys teams Coach of the Year.

He finished 91-of-132 for 1,083 passing yards, nine touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also ran for 772 yards (7.6 yards per carry) and 11 scores.

are girls who think they can tear their opponents heads off, too.” Ditlefsen, one of three returning seniors, said she’s coming back this season with more experience following two trips to state. “At state last year I wasn’t as ready but now I’m much more mentally prepared. I know my stuff,” she said. Through the week, she strength trains in the early mornings and already has her eyes set on a collegiate wrestling career at Warner Pacific College in Portland, Ore.

There’s a lot of improving talent with the Wolves’ boys team, too, coaches say.

Earning first team status on defense were Sequim sophomore defensive back Dylan Lott and junior linebacker Chris Whitaker. Defensive end Jack Shea, a junior, was named to the second team while senior Josiah Anastasi, a defensive back, earned his second all-league honorable mention SHEA in as many seasons. Freshman Gavin Verlade was named to the league’s second team for his special teams play. The Wolves went 2-4 in the regular season and 4-5 overall, qualifying for a postseason tiebreaker before being ousted by rival Port Angeles. North Kitsap’s TJ Jensen and North Mason’s Daniel Burggraaf share the league’s MVP. Bremerton’s Calvin Cardwell was named the offensive MVP and North Kitsap’s Bob Evans earned defensive MVP. The Coaching Staff of the Year went to Kingston and the Sportsmanship award went to Port Angeles’ Roughriders.

Alison (220), earned spots as alternates for the 2A regional tournament. “The region we have to go through is tough but we’ll be solid and able to compete in duels,” Drabek said. Schroepfer said at least seven boys have a good shot of advancing to regionals or further. “This is the most focused team I’ve seen in the last five years,” he said. “When I started there were quite a few state placers who helped create a culture but they graduated and it changed into us begging people to wrestle. But now practices run on time because no one is goofing around or lagging behind.” He said it’ll be tough for the Wolves to go from the bottom

in the 900s. While a top-two finish may be out of reach for the Wolves, Perry says Sequim has a good chance of keeping pace with Klahowya for that third spot. On Nov. 18, Klahowya edged Sequim 4-3.

to the top but he predicts them being in the middle to upper part of the Olympic League. A new cycle of wrestlers will help fill in the middleupper weight classes, Drabek said. Freshmen Ben Newell and Jaimie Schroepfer will wrestle the lower varsity weight classes. “We’re throwing them to the wolves but many other schools put their underclassmen in that weight, too,” Schroepfer said. This year, the team brings back Ethan Hinton, Sequim 2009 graduate and former state finisher, as an assistant coach. Sequim begins its season on Dec. 2 in Port Angeles for its Wrestlerama Jamboree.

Sequim was slated to take on North Mason on Nov. 25 — results were not available at press time. The Wolves (1-2) are in Silverdale on Dec. 2 to take on Klahowya.

A Shout-Out is a way for teachers to honor students who consistently exemplify the characteristics of respect, responsibility and safety. Students got to invite their favorite adult to have breakfast in the multi-purpose room. During this time, Russ Lodge individually recognized each student by reading the wonderful words their teachers wrote about them. More than 125 attendees were served and 62 students were honored. There will be another breakfast planned for this school year and we hope to see you there!

We sing songs and do tongue twisters which are sometimes too easy. We also sang in the Veterans Day assembly. That’s why I like music. Mason Eveland I enjoy reading with a group be-

cause I get information. After I am done reading, I can take a quiz on it. I also enjoy it because if I am doing a report, I know some things on it. That is what I mostly like about third grade. Kimberly Flores I enjoy recess because we get a break from learning and I can talk and hang out with all my good friends like Kylie. She is in my class. (She is writing about snack time.) Recess is also fun because there is a dome made of climbing bars. That is where Kylie and I usually play. In second grade we had three recesses but in third grade we only have two. (That’s why Ms. Wall takes us to track) I hope you enjoy recess! Danielle Herman In third grade I enjoy math. I enjoy math because you get to work with numbers and you can also learn addition, subtraction, division and times and all kinds of other things. That’s why I like math. Taylee Rome My favorite subjects are math and reading. I like them because I love reading and I love math. Mikalah Dahl

Future City’s classroom goal this year is to build a city with one main vegetable and protein. Ten students from grades 6-8 are working together to bring a concept to viable reality. Focused on such a big task, they are using the Hoh Rain Forest as a model for their future city. (Keep in mind, the future city is 150 years ahead

of present day.) Many things have changed on Earth and their mission is to rejuvenate the planet and avoid their predecessors’ mistakes. Mentor Paul Farley, with engineering experience, and enrichment coach Lilli Hardesty guide the students as they work from a rubric and time frame set by a panel of engineers in preparation for regional competition in January 2015. Students are required to build a physical model from a schematic and compose essays to articulate the main points of their futuristic microcosm.

SEQUIM HIGH SCHOOL The Down Home Holiday Bazaar, sponsored by the Sequim Band Boosters, features quality handmade crafts and gifts from over 50 vendors and will be from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Nov. 28-29 in the cafeteria. Proceeds benefit the band program. The DigiTools Bypass test will be offered from 3-4:30 p.m. Dec. 3-4 in Room A-3. If the exam is passed, a student is exempt from having to take this class. (DigiTools is a requirement for graduation from Sequim High School). Note that passing the test will not earn high school or college credits. Students may show up at 3 p.m. to take the exam; no advance registration is required. From handing out sweets to reuniting family members separated by great distances, the annual Winter Wishes assembly aims to fulfill dreams of as many students as possible, all of which are paid for by donations from the community. This year, senior class president Lisette Garcia says, event coordinators are asking for some help. Community members are invited to donate gifts to the school that will be awarded to students during the assembly set for 10 a.m. Dec. 18 in the gymnasium. All donations need to be dropped off at the school office by Dec. 5. The student body would like to thank you for your consideration.

From page B-1

Each year, a new set of singers joins the group like soloist Chirayath who moved to Sequim with his wife in August. He’s sung in choirs on both coasts and heard about the Sequim chorus from his fellow church’s choir members at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. Chirayath thinks this community chorus stacks up fairly well to others he’s joined. “Even though we’re a small community, we have a lot of good voices,” he said. McRoberts agrees. “This blend is the best it’s ever been,” he said. “There seems to be something about them working together. This year even more so. They all stay later and they

all work. It’s a great feeling and a great group of songs.” Chirayath said he’s performed a few of the songs before and finds McRoberts does a great job of putting it all together. “Gary is very gifted and talented,” he said. “(McRob-

erts) has a different style and he takes pieces and works on them opposed to trying it all at once.” For more information on the Sequim Community Christmas Chorus, contact Gail Sumpter at 477-9361 or at gail@gailsumpter.com.

“The chorus started out that way and that’s the way they want to keep going,” McRoberts said. It formed behind the efforts of Elaine Carlson and downtown merchants with local church choirs coming together to put on an entertaining Christmas show emphasizing what they believe is the true meaning of Christmas. In 1984, Phil Rader directed the first chorus with 175 singers, which also included the Sequim High School Choir and Bell Choir at the Sequim Seventh-day Adventist Church.

it remains a true community chorus 30 years later with no auditions and no fees to join. “The music has been maintained since the beginning as spiritual,” Dawley said. “We want to be known as a public group that’s grounded in the true meaning of Christmas.” Dawley took a few years off when her children were teenagers, she said, but she brought them when they were younger to do some of their homework there. She’s kept singing with the group, Dawley says, because it puts her on a different plane. “When you are in the midst of a choral group and hear all the different sounds Sounds of community and vocal chords, I think it’s Members of the chorus say beautiful,” she said. Some of this year’s music selection includes hymns like the “Hallelujah” chorus from Handel’s “Messiah,” and “Gesù bambino” and “What a Wonderful Child” with solos by Cynthia Webster and Ray Chirayath. “The blend this year is one of the best it’s ever been,” McRoberts said. “One of my favorites is “‘O Magnum Mysterium,” a Renaissance piece. It’s very polyphonic and every line is independent and challenging.” Another favorite of his is “Nowell” arranged by Dan Forrest that includes a bit of the traditional “The First Noel,” McRoberts said.

From page B-1 from her home, which was a British colony located in today’s Zimbabwe, Timothy became involved with the up and coming musicians and movie stars. However, Timothy said she had a innate disinterest in the social scene of the 1960s in California, but still was “enormously excited to be in America.” “The great thing about America to me was the freedom because growing up the British way, you had your place in society and that is where you would stay,” she said. “People that live here don’t realize the freedom because many have never lived in a restrictive community.” Inspired by the freedom America seemingly offered

SEQUIM GAZETTE her, Timothy traveled – singing and playing her guitar along the way that instilled a lasting love for singing. Eventually Timothy’s travels drew to close once her mother moved from Africa. For the first time Timothy needed to settle down long enough to care for her mother. With little to offer, but a good understanding of cooking and cleaning, Timothy converted her Los Angeles dwelling into an upscale hotel. A variety of celebrities, including former President Bill Clinton stayed at Timothy’s home. “I worked for 23 years without a day off,” Timothy said. “I couldn’t have done it

knew,” Timothy said. By the time she was barely able to read street signs Timothy was back on her bicycle and traveling all over America. For eight months Timothy rode across the county and visited 27 states. “I think one of the points of the trip was to show to people in similar positions to believe in themselves and that anything can be done,” Timothy said. “It was my therapy and after I finished it I knew I could take care of myself again.”

Singing again

Continuing on her nomadic path Timothy lived in Costa Rica before launching herself back overseas to walk thousands of miles on the pilgrimage that eventually would lead her to sing again. Upon her return to the U.S., and while house-sitting for friends during the winter near Lake Sutherland, Timothy pursued her need to sing with Rivers as her voice coach. “ We started working together because Megan wanted to sing and then she decided she wanted to make a CD,” Rivers said. “I was struck early on with the timeless quality of her voice.” Timothy targeted traditional Christmas songs because most people can recognize them and at least hum along. “This album is my gift to anyone that has had their voice taken away like I had,” she said. “Maybe it can help others on their big journey back.” Although the first recording session was “rough” as Timothy, Rivers and Cays • Natural Wreaths & Boughs began their own journey • Organic Apples, Potatoes, Garlic & Pears together, Cays said he wasn’t worried because the whole • Leeks, Fresh Cider, and Honey Too! recordingLIVE: process is a learnCODE: SBS-14-4E PUB/POST: USSPI 10x10; Various Pubs; Due PRODUCTION: D.

Timothy would have a hard time working, Rivers said. “Really the only way she could do it was to have a single note to keep her on pitch, melody and time,” Cays said. “Much more and it was clutter to her. It was amazing to hear her bring the amount of emotion to these classical songs that she does.” Rivers and Cays collaborated to do their best to recreate the environment of being alone in a cathedral because that was where Timothy sang the most while on her pilgrimage and where she rediscovered her voice. Through skilled engineering and layering voices, some of the songs have a huge orchestra sound and others are very simple with only a piano or flute accompanying Timothy. Rivers and Cays agree the opportunity to work alongside Timothy was both an honor and life-enriching experience. “For me it was a very spiritual thing to work with Megan,” Rivers said. “She’s an amazing soul and it is a privilege to spend time with her.” Although she admits she would rather not go through a stroke, or similar experience again, Timothy wouldn’t take the experience away as it has given her more compassion and patience. “Most importantly, whatever anyone is going through, don’t forget to laugh. Laughter was the best medicine I ever had,” Timothy said. “I think everyone should go down the street singing and not put things in your ears, but instead be part of it.” Following her stroke, Timothy has since written two books in addition to her latest accomplishment of creating an album. Timothy’s CD, “As I Wander: Songs of Christmas” is available at The Good Book in Sequim and Port Book and News in Port Angeles.
