A 30-year interlocal agreement to allow wastewater from the county’s Carlsborg Urban Growth Area to be treated at the city’s wastewater reclamation facility was signed by Sequim’s mayor and county commissioners at a joint city and county meeting, Monday, Nov. 24. The agreement was a policy piece needed to move forward with the construction of a collection system and pump station in Carlsborg that will transport wastewater to the point of delivery (near 1453 W. Washington St.) where it will then be conveyed via gravity to the city’s wastewater reclamation facility. “This is not the beginning of the end, but the end of a beginning,” administrative director for Clallam County Public Works

City of Sequim buys new vacuum and jet truck

Public Works crew members Ty Brown, Clint Rushton and Scott Carter utilize the new vacuum and jet truck for grease removal at the North End Station. Submitted photo

The City of Sequim has purchased a new combination vacuum and jet (VAC/JET) truck to be used for multiple purposes in the Public Works Department. The new truck replaces a 1997 VAC/JET truck that was purchased by the city in 2005 and was in need of extensive maintenance and repair. The new truck is expected to be in use for the next 20-30 years. “The VAC/JET truck is undoubtedly one of the most valuable and most used pieces of equipment that the city owns,” said Public Works Director Paul Haines. Haines said the demand for and use of the VAC/JET truck has expanded dramatically in the past four years, as the Public Works department has shifted from a reactive to a pro-active and preventative

maintenance model. The VAC/JET truck is used for maintenance and emergencies in the sewer system, water system, Water Reclamation Facility and storm water catch basin maintenance. The new truck is equipped with a water tank, pressure pumps, high pressure hose and jetting nozzles, vacuum lifting tube, waste storage tank, truck and chassis, worksite lighting and emergency lighting. In the procurement process Public Works staff evaluated five different combination vacuum/jet truck manufacturers to determine which would best fit the city’s needs. The new VAC/JET truck cost $400,000 and was paid for by monies budgeted in the 2013 Sewer Replacement Reserve Funds.

Rep. Van De Wege re-elected House Majority Whip Rep. Kevin Van De Wege was re-elected Majority Whip of the House Democratic Caucus on Nov. 18. “I’m honored and VAN DE WEGE humbled to have the trust of not only the people of the 24th Legislative District, but also

of the elected Democratic representatives from across the state,” Van De Wege said in a statement to the press. “I am looking forward to helping guide our caucus through what will be a difficult yet opportunity-filled 2015 session,” he said. The House Democratic Caucus met in Olympia on Nov. 18,

selecting a number of leaders for the next legislative session. Joining Van De Wege and returning to their previously held leadership positions are Frank Chopp (Seattle) as House Speaker-designate, Pat Sullivan (Covington) as Majority Leader and Eric Pettigrew (Seattle) as Majority Caucus Chair.

Kris Lytton (Anacortes) was elected Majority Floor Leader for the first time. “I believe we have an excellent leadership team ready to pilot our caucus through tough debates on education, mental health and oil transportation,” Van De Wege said. “I’m hopeful that we will find the common ground neces-

sary to move Washington forward toward greater prosperity for all.” The remaining members of the HDC Leadership team, including the Speaker pro tem-designate, will be elected at a future date. The Spe a ker- designate a nd Speaker pro tem-designate must be elected by the entire House on the first day of the 2015 session.

The 13 candidates for the position and political party observers have been invited to view the recount. A machine recount allows staff to review undervoted ballots for any possible missed marks. In the Charter Review District 1 race there were 5,458 ballots that contained undervotes. While voters could vote for five candidates, many did not, county elections staffers said.

The election season isn’t quite over, not just yet. Because of a narrow margin-of-victory in voting for Charter Review Commission’s District 1, the Clallam County elections department is completing a mandatory machine recount to assure accurate counts of the position. The top five of 15 candidates from the district are elected to the commission, and after the election tallies, Sequim resident Ted Miller recorded 3,386 votes (fifth place) while Jerry Sinn, a Sequim-area resident, had 3,357 votes (sixth). The difference between the vote totals is less than half of 1 percent, triggering the automatic recount. A machine recount has been set by the Clallam County Canvassing Board to

Celebrating a century Harold Pomeroy turns 100

Submitted photo

Harold Pomeroy celebrated his 100th birthday, Monday, Dec. 1. Pomeroy moved to Sequim in 1980 from California, bringing with him his ongoing desire for community participation. Among his 75 years with the Freemasons and about 35 years as a Rotarian, Pomeroy was married for 56 years and continues to be a father to his three children. “He is the best father anyone could ever ask for,” Pomeroy’s son, Trent Pomeroy, said. “Dad has always been a positive, optimistic and compassionate person with a marvelous sense of humor.” Pomeroy lost his own father at the young age of 8 and thus began working in a hardware store by the time he was about 10 to help support his family. Pomeroy later pursued a 34-year career within the hardware industry, but before doing so enlisted with the Army Air Corps to serve in World War II, which took him to many parts of the world. Reflecting on his long life, packed with family, ongoing community involvement and world travels, Pomeroy would like to attribute his longevity as a reward for righteous living, but realistically his “healthy lifestyle and positive outlook has gone a long way,” Trent said. “It’s a very big deal for Dad to reach 100,” Trent said. “He has been looking forward to this for a long time.” Submitted photo

By 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15, when the Dungeness River Audubon Center’s annual holiday Nature Mart ended, more than $7,500 had been raised for River Center education programs. Linda Ogden of Sequim was thrilled to learn that she held the winning raffle ticket for the handsome Cowichan wool sweater valued at over $300. She and her husband, Joel, moved to Sequim two years ago, and after seeing photos of the sweater in the newspapers, they came to Nature Mart specifically to buy raffle tickets. Marion Rutledge, a member of both the River Center and Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society, knit and donated the sweater. Rutledge is an active member of the River Center Crafters, the group that produces many of the one-of-a-kind hand-crafted items for which Nature Mart is known. The remaining Nature Mart items, including assorted gifts for people, pets, and birds, may be purchased at the River Center through Dec. 13. All proceeds from Nature Mart go to support River Center education programs.

Full-day kindergarten in Sequim is still a full academic year away, but local education advocates are laying some key groundwork for it. WaKIDS — or Washington Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills — is a statewide program helping families, schools and preschools prepare youths for full-day kindergarten classes. A partnership with state, federal and private funding sources, WaKIDS events reached about 38,000 kindergartners last year, about half of the number who enter that grade each year. School districts in Washington participating in full-day kindergarten are required to implement WaKIDS programs and its three phases: The Family Connection, usually involving meetings between teachers, families and

early learning professionals; Whole-Child Assessment, where teachers measure each child’s skills in six areas (social-emotional, physical, cognitive, language, literacy and mathematics); and Early Learning Collaboration, promoting communication between kindergarten teachers and early learning advocates. While Sequim has yet to develop full-day kindergarten, educators are bringing WaKIDS programs to be ready in case the district implements the program. Marilyn Walsh is the administrative assistant to Sequim school superintendent Kelly Shea and the WaKIDS coordinator for the Sequim School District. She helps host “Everyday Math for Preschoolers,” an event for teachers, preschool staffers and parents alike, from 6:308 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 11, at Greywolf Elementary School.

The event, part of the WaKIDS’s Early Learning Collaboration phase, is “to kind of build a bridge between the schools and early childhood education entities” and to “open up communication share the results of whole child assessment,” Walsh says. Why math? “Math is the area that children are coming in least prepared,” Walsh says. State officials estimate about 80,000 children enter kindergarten with varying degrees of skills. Parents can help their prekindergartenaged children sharpen skills like math at home, Walsh says, with something as simple as asking them to set the table with a certain number of plates. Teachers and preschool providers have to earn a certain amount of clock hours to remain licensed, Walsh says, and this provides 1.5 hours of credit toward that. But the event also is open to parents who may want to know what they can do to help their own children be ready for that

transition into kindergarten. “We’ll give them some ideas to talk about kindergarten readiness and start building the bridge,” Walsh says. The event also is about making better connections between preschool providers and kindergarten teachers. “Preschool teachers also are interested in what is considered ‘being ready for kindergarten,’” says Walsh, a former preschool business owner herself, running Sequim Early Learning for 26 years. “It’s not babysitting at the preschool level,” Walsh says. “They have to have a curriculum to be licensed (and have) 10 hours of continuing education per year. We want them (teachers and early learning providers) to meet each other; they’re peers.” The event is the second Sequim WaKIDS function; the schools hosted a BLOCKFest event in August, thanks to a grant. Walsh says Sequim likely will host another WaKIDS program in May.

From page A-1 Bob Martin, said. “I think this is a milestone with one of our cities.” The agreement establishes a new wholesale service relationship between the county and city for treatment and disposal of wastewater from the Carlsborg system. Although the agreement is specific to the Carlsborg UGA, it has been designed to allow Sequim to act as a regional provider of wastewater treatment services for additional wholesale customers, said consultant Gordon Wilson of FCS Group, which drafted the interlocal agreement. The most immediate impact of the signed agreement will come to the city as an influx of revenues in early 2015 when the county pays its initial buy-in payment of about $1.3 million, Martin said. The payment includes part of the project costs, such as upgrades to the city’s collection system to adequately serve the Carlsborg UGA. Based on county officials’ assessment of its projected demand for the next 20 years and city officials’ assessment of its available capacity, the initial capacity reservation for the Carlsborg UGA is 105,000 gallons per day or 6.29 percent of Sequim Wastewater Reclamation Facility’s total capacity, Wilson said. Every five years the city and county planners will revisit the amount reserved and adjust accordingly. After years of grappling with the option to build a separate wastewater treatment facility in Carlsborg, utilizing the city’s facility became the favored option because it’s anticipated to have both reduced capital and operating costs and ultimately save more than $13 million in life-cycle costs

From the point of delivery, the Carlsborg UGA wastewater would be conveyed by gravity through city sewer lines to the Sequim Wastewater Reclamation Facility.

with a $10 million loan from the Washington State Public Works Trust Fund and funds from the Clallam County Opportunity Fund allocated to the Carlsborg Sewer Fund created in 2010. Beyond capital costs, annual income gained by the city depends on the amount of daily flow coming from the Carlsborg UGA, but according to county officials’ assumptions, the amount of daily flow should grow annually. It’s estimated the county would be charged 98 cents per gallon of wastewater treated, Paul Haines, City

area within 10 to 15 years. “The reason for phasing out septic systems is because we keep getting data with increased levels of nitrates, including data from the well the PUD uses in the area,” Martin told the Gazette in an August interview. Additionally, the lack of a public sewer system eventually would restrict expansion within the Carlsborg UGA under the state Growth Management Act. Once connected to the public sewer system, the monthly cost to Carlsborg residents is estimated to be $65-$70, Martin said.

However, the more costly part for residents is the initial price to hook up to the public sewer system, which likely will range from $7,000-$7,500. To reduce economic impacts and to entice more residents to connect to the public sewer system sooner rather than later, county officials plan to offer a reduced connection rate of $500 for the first two years.

tity of mitigation required in consistency with ecology analysis and economic analysis and mitigation costs, he said. Despite the public comments, the city council and county commissioners voted unanimously in favor of the agreement. Although a signed agreement is a step forward for the ongoing sewer project, Martin said, “there is still a bit to do” before wastewater is treated in Sequim. Martin is awaiting final feedback on the facility plan from Department of Ecology officials, after which the facility plan can be adopted following a public hearing before the county commissioners. Adoption of a connection policy and a sewer use ordinance also are needed and the design and permitting phase remain ahead, Martin said, but construction of the Carlsborg sewer system is anticipated to begin next year.

Both Martin and Haines have collaborated for years to produce a viable option for the treatment of Carlsborg UGA’s wastewater. “I think this project has been the top priority for me over the past four years,” Haines said. “We were able to get to this point because of willing partners and I’m pleased to have a mutual beneficial agreement.” However, some public red flags arose once a member

of the Dungeness River Management Team, Judy Larson, expressed concern regarding the risks involved with transporting wastewater across the Dungeness River, as well as the Carlsborg area’s loss of reclaimed water for aquifer recharge. “There is a section (in the agreement) having to do with reclaimed water,” Wilson said. “If the city produces reclaimed water at a future date, and that’s a big if, then the county will have the right of first refusal to purchase at least the volume of wastewater that it discharges into the Sequim system.” Additionally, communications and government relations manager for Clallam County PUD, Michael Howe, said the agreement has “caught the district completely by surprise,” and the district officials are concerned with water quality, lack of reuse system, design and operation, quan-

SEQUIM GAZETTE

Sewer rates go up in 2015 Sequim City budget New water rates for users will depend on new tier system Sequim Gazette staff

Sequim City residents can expect an increase in sewer fees and possibly water fees depending on your usage in 2015. Following the Sequim City councilors’ vote to approve the city’s 2015 budget and fees on Nov. 24, worth $37.9 million, residents will receive a 2.71 percent increase in their sewer bill or about $1.50 per month for the average rate payer. Also, depending on a resident’s water use, their rate may change, too, due to a new ordinance restructuring water bills. The restructuring stems from a council-approved ordinance in October that switches the city from a flat-rate water system to a volume-based system on three levels: 0-600 cubic feet for tier 1, 601-1,599 for tier 2 and 1,600-plus for tier 3. Currently, Sequim residents pay based on two tiers — below and above 800 cubic feet. In the proposal, 190 customers would move up to tier 2 and pay up to $5 more per month for water and sewer. City staff said that those customers who use 600-799 cubic feet of water services have until April 2015 to adjust their flows to less than 600 to enact the lower rate. Tentatively, the ordinance guides the city to proposed 3.58 percent

water and 2.84 percent sewer increases in 2016. City staff said the idea behind the restructuring would be to promote conservation and help pay for capital projects. Councilor Erik Erichsen opposed the updated fees ordinance, the budget and a 1-percent tax levy increase that would generate about $13,000 for the city particularly on sewer and water bills for the well-being of Sequim’s senior citizens. “These people live on fixed incomes and they will receive the brunt of the changes and I do not feel we should not be taking more money than we really need to provide the services we need, ERICHSEN especially those who cannot afford them,” Erichsen said. Erichsen also opposed the budget, as he has for several years on principle, because it includes contracts with local agencies such as the Boys & Girls Club which he sees the city funding as charitable contributions. “In my whole tenure, I have the feeling that the council doesn’t want to spend their own money for charities but the taxpayers’ money on charities,” he said.

The contracts for 2015 include $75,000 for health and human service contracts including the Dungeness Valley Health & Wellness Clinic ($22,500), Boys & Girls Club ($20,250), Healthy Families ($11,250), Parenting Matters and Serenity House of Clallam County ($5,250 each) and Peninsula Behavioral Health ($3,750). The Visitor Information Center also will receive $72,400 and the Clallam Economic Development Council $5,000 for their services. Councilor Ted Miller said he agreed with Erichsen in principle but wasn’t going to vote against the entirety of the budget due to a few reservations.

More on the books Sequim City Manager Steve Burkett said most city departments reduced their budgets for next year. Staffing in 2015 will remain the same with Joe Irvin, current special projects manager, to split his time as the assistant to the city manager and parks manager. However, human resources has budgeted to recruit replacements for retirements and departures including former Public Works Director Paul Haines. Capital projects will cost about $10.6 million with $6.3 million of that going toward completion of the Civic Center. A majority of the other projects include $1.27 million for streets, $1.1 million for water and $1.5 million for sewer projects plus $260,000 for a storm water

master plan. Councilors Erichsen, Miller and Genaveve Starr voted against buying bonds for the water and sewer portion of the Civic Center worth up to $3.5 million. Administrative Services Director Elray Konkel said the city would pay them back over 20 years at $230,000 a year and it is part of the city’s annual payment plan of $660,000 a year toward the Civic Center. Burkett said city staff could have proposed to pay for the project with cash or by borrowing, which they recommended because the loan rates are lower. “Interest rates are at a historic low right BURKETT now,” Burkett said. Asked if the city is taking on too much debt, Burkett said “we (the city) are well below prudent standards for how much a city should have.”

Other budgets and fees The Transportation Benefit District’s budget of $525,000 was approved unanimously, which includes $188,000 for pavement rehabilitation and $53,000 for city safety projects. However, Councilor Laura Dubois said she wanted more money in the future to go to capital projects. “I’d like to see the (Transportation Benefit District) spend less

on patching and ice removal and see the city take back these functions,” Dubois said. “In the future I’d like to see the (District) do more pavement rehabilitation on streets that need that attention. At the end of 10 years DUBOIS (when city voters decide on continuing the district), the city is going to have to step up to ice control and I hope with the 2016 budget, we (the District) step back from that.” Miller agreed saying the city needs to have a track record of finished projects. “People are going to be suspicious and less likely to do a renewal,” he said. Dubois’ suggestion was welcome, Burkett said. “We don’t have enough money to go around for the streets we have,” he said. “It continues to be a top issue.” City councilors also voted 4-3 with Erichsen, Starr and Deputy Mayor Dennis Smith opposed, for the 1-percent tax levy that would generate about $13,000 for the city. Konkel said in past years when the city deferred to charge this tax that the amount would be banked for further usage but no funds are left because the city’s assessed property value has gone down from $885 million in 2011 to $813 million in 2014.

Center and Community Plaza will be located just off town’s main intersection, Burkett said the plaza will provide a community space for outdoor activities and events. Already, it has been designed with events like the Sequim Farmers Market in mind, he said. “We want the plaza to be attractive and the community to take pride in it,” Burkett said. After identifying how much funding is available for the Community Plaza, city officials have developed three possible phases for construction of the Community Plaza that can be built independently from each other. Come Monday, city councilors will be tasked with deciding what phase or phases they would like to move forward with, Burkett said. If council members decide to pursue all three phases the estimated cost is $530,000. Of that total, city officials have about $200,000 secured within the existing project budget for the Civic Center. Additionally city officials plan to utilize about $250,000 from the city’s savings and the third portion Burkett expects to collect from bond proceeds. “The council needs to decide how much they

Road Clearance for Winter Storms

The cold weather has arrived and that means the possibility of winter storms. Citizens are reminded that during heavy snows, the City crew concentrates on clearing the main arterials first. Washington Street, Sequim Avenue, 5th Avenue, 3rd Avenue, overpasses and school routes (when schools are in session) are the top priorities. In the event of a snow storm, the City asks the community to help by clearing snow from the sidewalks that adjoin their homes and businesses.

VOLUNTEER CORNER Bill Hegarty has served as a Volunteer in Police Service (VIPS) with the Sequim Police Department since 2005, and has served as the VIPS Coordinator since 2008. “I do not have a law enforcement background, but I am generally in- clined to observe the law, including speed limits, and the opportunity to volunteer with the SPD seemed interesting and attractive,” Bill said. He first read about the VIPS program in the newspaper and then talked with VIPS Coordinator Bill Hegarty a friend who spoke highly of his volunteer experience with a suburban police department in Kansas City. Working with the dedicated and experienced group of volunteers, and the fact that the officers, support staff, sergeants, and the Chief really do appreciate the time and effort provided by the VIPS are Bill’s favorite aspects of working with the program. He also enjoys the variety of work including patrol assignments, traffic control, office tasks, and his work with the Project Lifesaver program. Bill is especially proud of the Civilian Service Award that he received in 2012, stating that it was most unexpected and is much valued. He was chosen for the award by the Sequim Police Department for his leadership that has significantly contributed to the VIPS program growth into a well-respected and essential partner of the Sequim Police Department. “In large part because of Mr. Hegarty’s capable direction and administrative skills, the VIPS have provided consistently reliable support, enhancing the Department’s ability to function with greater efficiency and productivity, and resulting in a higher level of service to the community,” proclaimed the award. Bill said that in addition to the benefits to the organization and community, that the volunteers benefit substantially through the contacts and personal relationships gained and the satisfaction derived from accomplishing something of worth. “Sometimes, I miss the daily schedule and challenges of my working years (engineering) and especially the associates with whom I worked. Being a volunteer with a schedule and responsibilities helps fill that void,” he said. To learn more about volunteer opportunities with the City of Sequim, Contact Volunteer Coordinator Pamela Leonard-Ray at (360) 582-2447 or pleonard-ray@sequimwa.gov or City Clerk Karen Kuznek-Reese at (360) 681-3428 or kkuznek@sequimwa.gov.

Prepare Your Pipes for Fall and Winter

Winterize your outside water connections.

Unhook any attached hoses from outdoor taps and drain any remaining water from the hose. Cover the taps with a Styrofoam connector to help prevent freezing. If you have pipes that are not underground, disconnect them from the water source if possible. If disconnecting them is not possible, put insulation on or over the exposed piping.

Going out-of-town for a couple months?

If you live in Sequim city limits and are on City water, consider having your water shut-off at the meter by the City. There’s a one-time charge of $42.00 (rate through December 2014). You would only be billed a stand-by fee of $23.11 for water and $23.11 for sewer (rates through December 2014) per month.

Happy Holidays City Offices will be closed on Thursday, December 25 & Friday, December 26 for the Christmas Holiday, and on Thursday, January 1 for New Year’s Day

Utility Discounts Available for Low Income Residents

The City of Sequim recognizes these are tough economic times. To financially assist those struggling to meet their basic needs, utility rate reductions will be available for qualifying low income residents effective for January 2015 usage. If your income does not exceed 125% of the federal poverty guidelines or $25,000/year, you may be eligible. There is an additional net asset-based test to determine qualification. The exact amount of your discount will be administratively determined upon receipt of all applications. Qualifying applicants will see the discounted rates on their January usage bill. Even if you already receive the low income discount, all applicants must re-apply annually. Applications are due January 15, 2015 and are available at the following locations: City Hall, DSHS, Sequim Community Aid, St. Vincent de Paul, Serenity House, United Way and the Sequim Senior Center. Applications can also be downloaded from our website at www.sequimwa.gov. Please don’t hesitate to call the finance department at (360) 683-4139 with your questions.

You will need to come into City Hall and sign paperwork to have your water turned off. After the meter has been shut-off, there may still be water in the lines. Turn a faucet on until no remaining water comes through, then turn off the faucet. If possible, turn off the water tap coming into the house, if you have one. When you are ready to return, call Sequim City Hall at 360-683-4139 at least two (2) business days prior to your arrival to have the water turned on. Doing any of these things may help save you money and give you peace of mind.

Land Trust to conserve key property near Lyre River

Sequim Gazette staff

A 280-acre estuary ecosystem ecologists say is important to several salmon species and wildlife will be permanently conserved, thanks to a recent purchase by North Olympic Land Trust. The property abuts the Lyre River on the Strait of Juan de Fuca about 20 miles west of Port Angeles. The property features an estuary at the mouth of the Lyre River, streams, wetlands, tidelands, kelp beds and bluff-backed beaches, and includes a large upland area with a trees at various ages of growth. “The Land Trust has been

working with community partners for years to conserve this property,” Sequim’s Karen Westwood, North Olympic Land Trust Board president, said. “This is the largest land protection project in the Land Trust’s almost 25-year history and will be a terrific place for the community to enjoy local forests and shoreline,” she said. The Land Trust plans to open the property to the public by mid-2015. Visitors will be able to park about a mile from the beach and walk in from there. Visitors can enjoy day-use activities such as birdwatching, wildlife viewing, surfing, picnicking

and beach walking. The area will be closed to all motor vehicles. The Land Trust, an organization dedicated to “the conservation of open spaces, local food, local resources, healthy watersheds and recreational opportunities,” joined local partners to buy the property, including grants from the state’s Puget Sound Acquisition and Restoration fund, Marine Shoreline Protection fund and Estuary and Salmon Restoration Program. Other partners include the North Olympic Peninsula Lead Entity, the Puget Sound Partnership, the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe

and the Makah Nation. The previous land owner also has provided a donation to pay for ongoing stewardship of the property, Land Trust officials said. This project was ranked eighth among regional largescale capital projects for 2013-2015 Puget Sound Acquisition and Restoration funding by the Puget Sound Salmon Recovery Council — a ranking based on impact to salmon recovery, project readiness and how projects advance Puget Sound Action Agenda targets. Tom Sanford, North Olympic Land Trust executive director, said the property purchase is a win “not only for

The North Olympic Land Trust has a new project near the Lyre River and now has a new logo. Inspired in part by its 2010 merger with Friends of the Fields — another regional organization whose mission was to preserve farmlands — the groups moved forward together with a refined mission expressed in the new tag line: “Farms, Fish & Forests.” Land Trust officials recently asked Laurel Black Design to create a new logo to serve as the basis for the Land Trust’s visual rebranding. The new logo will be applied to materials used in communicating the activities and value of the Land Trust to a wider audience, particularly through a new website. Laurel Black Design recently learned that the Land Trust’s new logo was selected as a winner in the 2014 American Graphic Design Awards competition, one of only 1,200 selected from a field of over 8,000 entries. “After a number of years using a wonderful logo created by local designer Kelsey Redlin, we felt it was time to update our visual identity to match our enhanced mission of supporting community conservation of our local farms, fish and forests,” Land Trust Executive Director Tom Sanford said. “Working with Laurel Black Design has been a great experience and fits with our goal to support local businesses. We are very pleased with the results.” See www.northolympiclandtrust.org or call 417-1815. the community, but also for the mission of the Land Trust: conservation of open spaces, local food, local resources, healthy watersheds and recreational opportunities.” The long-term goal of the Land Trust, he said, is to conserve lands that sustain the economic and ecological vitality of the communities of Clallam County. The Lyre property includes the 3,000th acre that the Land Trust has conserved in Clallam County. The property joins other areas permanently conserved by the Land Trust through ownership, includ-

ing properties on Elk Creek, Siebert Creek and the Pysht River. The Land Trust also conserves land through voluntar y conser vation easements with private landowners. These agreements are in place on properties across the county, from the Bogachiel River to the Miller Peninsula. This purchase pushes the value of total land conservation by the Land Trust to more than $14 million since 2007.

for the Washington Department of Ecology allows for officials with the North Olympic Salmon Coalition, Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, Clallam Conservation District, Clallam County and the North Olympic Lead Entity for Salmon to continue their collaborative work on the lower Dungeness restoration project. “Amazing work” is getting done on the North Olympic Peninsula, Sant, a new project manager, said. “One of the highlights of my new position here at Ecology has been to work with and experience the dedication and passion of the people working in the lower Dungeness,” he said. Divided among the various organizations, the grant will fund restoration at the former site of the Three Crabs

Restaurant, design and engineer a portion of the levee, pipe irrigation ditches to prevent water loss, potential McDonald Creek restoration, replant and maintain lower Dungeness floodplains with native vegetation and purchase high quality salmon habitat. Floodplains By Design was initiated by officials with the Nature Conservancy and partners to achieve diverse floodplain management and ecosystem recovery goals while ensuring public dollars are well spent, said Bob Carey from The Nature Conservancy. In total, Floodplains By Design, partners with The Nature Conservancy, Washington Department of Ecology and Puget Sound Partnership, successfully requested $33 million in funding from the Washington Legislature in the 2013-2015 biennium for multi-benefit projects to reduce flood risk,

restore habitat and provide additional benefits to people, wildlife and agriculture. With the help of all involved, the grant written and submit-

ted by North Olympic Lead Entity for Salmon staff is the largest of nine grants awarded to individual projects. “We are grateful for the

scale restoration and their support of these multibenefit projects,” Cheryl Baumann, Lead Entity for Salmon coordinator, said.

Two Sequim men guilty of domestic violence, robbery King pleads not guilty in Joyce murder; trial set for January Sequim Gazette staff

Carlsborg man pleads guilty to stabbing ex-girlfriend Deeon Emilio Gonzales, 20, of Carlsborg, pleaded guilty on Nov. 19 in Clallam County Superior Court for stabbing his ex-girlfriend multiple times. He’ll serve 26 months in jail for assault in the second degree with a deadly weapon, pay $1,300 GONZALES in court fees unless a judge allows him to serve it via community service, and serve 18 months of community custody. Gonzales has a mandated no contact order with his exgirlfriend Britni Gallauher, 18, also of Carlsborg, and their 1 1/2 year-old-daughter through Nov. 18, 2024. The charge stems from a Sept. 20 incident after Gallauher went to Gonzales’ residence to pick up their daughter. He came outside with their daughter in his

To help achieve the goal to end homelessness and ensure the county plan is consistent with the state plan, officials with both Serenity House of Clallam County and the Peninsula Housing Authority produce an annual forum book on the status of homelessness within the county. The book is similar to annual report and compiles data using two primary sources – the point-in-time surveys and information from the HMIS. Both sources are helpful, but for different reasons, Wahto said. The point-in-time surveys are taken every January and are a physical count of individuals. But because of uncontrollable variables such as the sheer size of the county, the point-in-time surveys represent only about a third of those homeless and is a “snapshot” in time, she said. The HMIS is a shared database of information for nearly every individual that used a public program and more accurately pinpoints what programs are working and being used the most and least. Based on the most current point-intime survey, 352 homeless and at-risk people were counted, including 59 individuals who were living on the street, in cars, tents or in other locations not meant to house people, denoting a 13.5 decline throughout 2013.

A reoccurring challenge Wahto has noticed during her 13 years with Serenity House is the ongoing difficulty to provide effective programs to those with substance abuse issues and she feels those struggling with addiction may have a greater chance at recovery if they have a home of sorts. “Housing isn’t meant to be reward, but it is a basic need,” Wahto said.

Although there is an overall downward trend of homeless and at-risk people “it’s deeply troubling to see the increased demand for services and assistance, particularly from the most vulnerable and literally homeless,” according to the 2014 Clallam Forum on Homelessness in reference to a 55 percent spike in “literally homeless” people throughout 2013. In January 2013, 38 unsheltered individuals were

Martha Ireland, executive coordinator for Clallam County Serenity House, presents a brief status update on Clallam County’s 10year plan to end homelessness at a forum held Nov. 19. Sequim Gazette photo by Alana Linderoth

As the Clallam County Board of County Commissioners prepare to adopt its 2015 budget next month, members of the Homelessness Task Force (HTF), an advisory committee to the commissioners, made their financial recommendations to the board last week. The committee recommended the board award $300,000 for both House bills, SHB 2060 affordable housing and SHB 2163 homeless housing and assistance. Funding for both bills are 35 percent less than that allotted for the previous year because of a decrease in the number of recording fees at the state level. “When there isn’t enough funding, it’s miserable,” Wahto said. “But it’s something we’re used to and we just look for ways we can diversify and for grants we can write.” Although the plan has been “coming along pretty well,” County Commissioner Jim McEntire said, such significant reduction in fee revenues is a warning sign. “We’ve made great strides, but the more you get toward your goal the harder it gets to reach,” McEntire said. Though, unlike many other counties, Ireland said, the agencies working toward the common goal of ending homelessness is Clallam County all work “extremely well together.” The unique collaboration within Clallam County helps to combat the difficulties associated with lack of funds because organizations within the same county aren’t necessarily competing for the same money, she said. “Collaboration has been really key to our successes here,” Ireland said. “Here we are all partners.” Realistically the county may not be void of homeless, Ireland said, but “we’re hoping the infrastructure to efficiently and properly deal with the issue is in place by the end of 2015.”

counted, whereas this January, 59 were accounted for. Despite the point-in-time survey’s ability to only provide a “snapshot” in time and thus may not truly represent the status of homelessness, Wahto said it does target the most vulnerable demographic. Looking ahead, Wahto said to end homelessness, efforts with a focus on countywide permanent housing options needs to continue. “Time-limited beds are not the answer to ending homelessness, but permanent housing is,” Wahto said. Projects under way within Sequim include the Serenity House officials’ work to convert one emergency unit suitable to serve a family and 16 units of the former Peninsula Housing Authority project to permanent supportive housing for chronically homeless at the SunBelt Apartments along Fifth Avenue. Additionally, The Korean Women’s Association continues to move forward with its plan to use a $500,000 grant to fund a six-bed congregate facility to serve disabled adults. “The apartment (SunBelt) is already permanent, but it’s not dedicated to homeless,” Wahto said. “This will add 16 units for strictly homeless or disabled individuals.” A void for housing options in Sequim was left after Serenity House officials sold their former building to the City of Sequim to construct the city’s new civic center, Wahto said. Although the SunBelt Apartments project is a step in the right directions, Wahto said they’re still searching for additional housing options to Reach Alana Linderoth at alinderoth@ serve families. sequimgazette.com.

Donations in lieu of birthday gifts Sequim 9-year-old contributes to Sequim Food Bank by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

In place of birthday gifts, Leah Crabtree donated more then 200 pounds of food to the Sequim Food Bank following her 9th birthday Nov. 16. Crabtree’s contribution marks the second consecutive year the young donor has requested food items instead of presents from her birthday guests in order to make a difference in others’ lives. “Some kids don’t have what I have and I feel bad,” Crabtree said. “I really like doing it.” Inspired to contribute to her community at the young age of 7, Crabtree has decided to continue the tradition of giving for her birthday. “I want to keep doing it,” Crabtree said. “It makes me happy.” Although Crabtree donated a variety of food, her targeted item was soup simply because it’s a personal favorite and she believes

everyone should be able to enjoy it, she said. Some family members and friends unable to attend the birthday party still sent money to assist in Crabtree’s community effort and without hesitation Crabtree used any birthday earnings to buy more food for the cause. “Growing up, the food bank helped my family,” Crabtree’s mom, Holly Crabtree, said. “I am proud of Leah and she knows it helped our family and she just wanted to do the same thing for other people.” Given Crabtree’s birthday falls shortly before Thanksgiving, she is able to make her donation during the food bank’s most demanding time of the year. Last November and December the food bank distributed 1,700 holiday meals, Mark Ozias, executive director of Sequim Food Bank, said, and anticipates this year to be the same. “I hope what she (Crabtree) does is inspirational,” Ozias

said. “It is inspirational to me and I just think it is really neat that someone so young would be so thoughtful.” Within the Sequim School District boundaries, the Sequim Food Bank provides roughly 70,000 pounds of food per month, Ozias said. Additionally, just shy of onethird of the food provided goes toward someone under 18 years old. Reflecting on last year’s numbers, Ozias has noticed a 10-12 percent increase in need and about a 10 percent increase of new individuals.

The food bank often works with local youth organizations, such as the Boy and Girl Scout troops, and is staffed by middle and high school student volunteers on Saturdays, but Ozias said Crabtree is probably the food bank’s youngest donor. Acknowledging the local niche the food bank serves and to support her daughter’s innate desire for community involvement, Holly Crabtree said she and Leah already are looking forward to next year and hope to get involved with a soup kitchen.

She was born on December 14, 1923 to Ethan and Artie Boozer in Conrad, Montana. She received a degree in bacteriology from Washington State College in Pullman in 1946. She married Quinten MacDougall of Sequim on May 10, 1947 in Vancouver, Washington and then moved to Port Angeles. She worked as a clinical ofﬁce supervisor for the Port Angeles Physicians’ Clinic for 35 years. She was an accomplished world traveler, visiting many countries in Europe, Asia, Central and South America as well as Australia.

Barbara J. Hendershot June 9, 1930 - November 6, 2014

43584436

The family of Barbara J. Hendershot was saddened by her passing away on November 6, 2014, at age 84. Barbara was born on June 9, 1930, the daughter of Sol and Mabel Guthrie, in Indianapolis, Indiana. She graduated from Southport High School in 1948 and married William F. Hendershot on May 28, 1949, at Edgewood United Methodist Church in Indianapolis. Barbara was a loving and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who spent her life taking care of her family. As a young wife, she supported her husband through college and grad school by typing students’ papers and working on campus. During 65 years of marriage, they lived in Indianapolis; Bloomington, Indiana; Madison, Wisconsin; Peoria and Libertyville, Illinois; and spent nearly thirty years in Elkhart, Indiana, as well as time in the San Francisco Bay Area, San Diego, and the last eleven years in Sequim, Washington. She was well-known throughout her life for her culinary expertise, her music, and her faith. She was always an active church member wherever she lived, playing piano and organ for worship and youth groups, teaching Sunday School for many years, chairing worship and liturgy committees, and

working as a church secretary. She particularly valued serving as a Stephen Minister, caring for others in the community. She taught her children the value of education, the importance of treating all people with dignity and respect, and the love of Christ. She enjoyed traveling and especially loved spending time with her grandchildren, who have fond memories of her reading and telling stories, singing to them, and cooking with them. She is survived by her husband, William Hendershot, of Sequim; son, Michael Hendershot, living in Thailand; daughters, Suzan Hendershot, of Burbank, California, Sheryl (Dexter) Lehman, of Buffalo, Minnesota, and Nancy (Thomas) Reis, of Sequim; grandchildren, Jedidiah (Leigh) Hendershot, of Texas; Amanda ( Josh) Nord, and Ethan Hendershot, both of Elkhart, Indiana; Angela (Andrew) Harvala and David Lehman, of Minnesota; and Emily Reis and James Reis, both of Sequim. She is also survived by her sister, Dottie (Coe) Kramer, of Goshen, IN, and seven great-grandchildren. A celebration of life will be held on Tuesday, December 30, 2014, at 1 p.m. at Sequim Community Church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Barbara’s name to the Sequim Community Church Faith Foundation, 950 North Fifth Avenue, Sequim, WA 98382.

Odds, ends from the editor’s desk I thought time capsules were a thing of the past. (Insert laugh track here) Apparently not. A group called The Capsule Keepers are asking Washingtonians to write messages to future generations that will be stored and opened in the year 2359, a full 500 years after Washington achieved statehood. Those messages and other items — books, letters and, hopefully, Starbucks CEO/former Seattle Sonics traitor Howard Schultz — will be packed into the capsule and sealed during a Editor’s special ceremony on Feb. Corner 22, part of the “Washington 125” celebration. Michael Dashiell They’ll have to make some room in the capsule, though, as back in 1989 some Washingtonians (author Tom Robbins and Seahawks Hall of Famer Steve Largent included) similarly decided they could live without some things for the next 400 years, like cassette tapes, their keys and any chance the Mariners would have at making the World Series. Knute Berger (yes, that’s his real name), who designed the time capsule for Washington’s centennial celebration in 1989, said this: “There are no limits on topics. We only ask that they be from Washingtonians — past or present — and that people keep in mind that we hope they shed light on the culture, thoughts, accomplishments and experiences of the people as they are in 2014. We encourage Washingtonians to contribute their hopes, dreams, stories and predictions.” He added: “We will microfilm the hard copies (of messages) and also save the e-mails digitally.” Yes, and the chance that someone 400 years from now will have technology to be able to read microfilm or our era’s digital storage? Well, we can dream. Washington state’s Centennial Time Capsule is a 3,000-pound green safe at the south entrance of the Capitol Building in Olympia. It contains 16 individual stainless steel time capsules that will be filled with new items every 25 years. The way I see it coming out, in 375 years, the capsule(s) will be opened and governor Edgar Martinez XVII will announce the greatest yard sale in the history of our fair state, newly rechristened The Oregon Territories. To participate, send e-mails to message2389@sos. wa.gov, find forms to fill out and send at blogs.sos.wa.gov, and check out capsulekeepers.org.

The Best Black Friday deal was … According to our friends, the economists, the best Black Friday deal of 2014 was arguably at the gas station. The average price in America for a gallon of regular dropped to $2.79 on Nov. 28, according to AAA — nearly 50 cents lower than this time last year. The cheap gas, experts say, may be a key factor in why more Americans are more positive about the economy. A recent CNN poll showed 52 percent of us think things are going “very well” or “fairly well” in the country now — the first time a majority of Americans have felt that way in eight years. Feels good to feel good. Now all we need are jobs ...

People love their villains, don’t they? A recent Top-10 list from the What To Do With The Kids club poll puts the 1966 animated classic “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” squarely on top of the old Christmas/Holiday movie tree. “The Polar Express” (2004) is second and “It’s A Wonderful Life” (1946) lands at third. “Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer” (1965, animated) and 2004’s “Elf” are fourth and fifth, respectively. It’s a good list, with no “Diehard” (too violent) or “Jingle All the Way” (Tom Arnold is in it) or “The Santa Clause 3” (don’t ask) anywhere near the Top 10. See www.whattodowiththekids.com for the full list. Surprisingly, nowhere to be found is “Home Alone,” nor my personal favorite, “Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas.”

Your feel-good stories Yes, it’s almost that time of year ... a time to look back and realize we’ve all been really busy and didn’t take time to take stock of what we’ve done (and haven’t done) in the past 12 months. We at the Gazette have been busy too — and we may have missed some great stories in the past year. That’s why we want to hear from you: Send us your favorite “feel-good” stories of 2014. Let us know who/what inspired you this past year. Maybe some of that inspiration will rub off on others in 2015. Send us a note at news@sequimgazette.com.

Turn slogans into policy The just-concluded elections helped to resolve nothing in our state. We will have a small Republican majority in the state Senate and a small Democratic majority in the state House. They won’t agree on much of anything. Perhaps the Legislature can take a few hints from other states and cities around the country. In Arkansas, the Republicans enjoyed a clean sweep of all statewide offices, all Guest Congressional seats and O pinion increased their majorities in the state Senate John Burbank and the state House. At the same time, the people voted by a 2-to-1 majority to increase the minimum wage in their state by $2.25. In South Dakota, the Republicans swept all offices and the people voted to increase the minimum wage by $1.25, effective on Jan. 1, and, taking a tip from our state, made sure that the minimum wage keeps up with inflation after that. In Nebraska, GOP victories for U.S. Senate, governor, secretary of state, attorney general, lieutenant governor, auditor and other offices were accompanied by a strong victory for raising the minimum wage by $1.75 to $9 by 2016. Alaska voters elected Republicans as U.S. senator and Congressman, an independent former Republican as governor, and kept Republican majorities in their state Senate and state House. And Alaskans also voted more than

2-to-1 to increase the minimum wage to $9.75 as of January 2016, which will be higher than our current minimum wage in Washington. On the East Coast, Massachusetts voters elected a Republican governor and put into law a statewide paid sick days law modeled on Seattle’s ordinance. And ping-ponging back to our coast, Oakland, Calif., passed an ordinance raising the minimum wage to $12.25 and requiring businesses to provide five paid sick days a year. Something is happening here and it is pretty clear what it is. When voters are faced with a clear-cut decision on actual policy, they vote for their own economic security and that of their neighbors and friends. When they are faced with candidates who promise everything (and often deliver nothing or even the opposite of what they promise), they swing back and forth between Republicans and Democrats. Candidates of both parties hype themselves to the voters, with rhetoric and platitudes. And once they are in office, they often stand down from their own promises.

Opportunity for our legislators In Washington, our elected public servants in the state House and state Senate have a chance now to turn campaign slogans into actual policy. If the voters in both conservative Republican-controlled states and Democraticcontrolled states have endorsed new policy for increasing the minimum wage and for making paid sick days a labor standard,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Kudos to Sunshine Cafe

As an 85-year-old widower, I would be remiss if I did not comment on the free Thanksgiving meal served at the Sunshine Cafe on Thanksgiving Day. The meal was simply delicious and consisted of turkey with all the trimmings. My waitress was Ronda Campbell and, I believe, a volunteer and not an employee. Ronda was very courteous as she read the entire menu to me and said I could have anything I wanted. So a big thank you to Ronda for her kindness and a special thank you to the owners of the Sunshine Cafe (Allen and Dianne Drake) for their thoughtfulness shown every Thanksgiving Day. Jim Ellis Sequim

In appreciation of SARC

On April Fools day in 2012, I limped into the SARC gym in Sequim. Since taking physical therapy for my knee in January, I had gone back to the gym I had belonged to before, my knee became so painful that I had had to seek medical help. Limited to only exercise machines, one 20-minute workout at my old gym left me limping out the door. Soon, it was just as painful as before. I remembered what one of the physical therapists had said to me — that working out in the water would help me to exercise the knee and build up muscles around the knee. Off I went to SARC, since SARC was the only gym that had a pool. Since I like exercise I took to the water like a duck and soon was doing exercises that I had not done for years. I took full advantage of the water aerobics classes. The water aerobics instructors were always encouraging, fun and most were middle-aged, like me. However in September

they closed the pool for yearly maintenance, I think, for two weeks. Boy was I lost! Soon I was peeking into the gym to see what was going on. I managed to talk to a couple of instructors who were so enthusiastic and welcomed me into their classes. I remember the first time I landed on my knee I thought this was probably the end. But, nope, my knee was BETTER! I have found that by combining the pool, the gym and the weight room, I have managed to maintain a semi-healthy knee. At least I don’t limp. Now, I’m taking yoga, even better, grounding to the earth, squaring my torso, holding a pose for five breaths have further helped my overall health. I could go on, and on, and on. We need this type of gym. For Sequim’s health, vote for levy coming up in February of 2015. The second installment is coming soon. I have COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) … what SARC has done for my lungs … You never know when you might need a pool of water. Ida Fintel Sequim

Make interests clear Regarding the vote no on SARC column (“You can’t have a private gym and call it a public pool,” Sequim Gazette, Nov. 26, page A-11): I believe you owed it to the readers to have Ms. LaMoure’s interest shown upfront rather then appended to the end of her column. One can’t help but wonder if she has a vested interest in a no vote given that she owns a competing facility. You can do better if you describe any potential conflicts or interests upfront.

In response to “If not SARC, what?” (Letters to the Editor, Sequim Gazette, Nov. 26, page A-12): The writer states, “If you’re a small business that depends on new arrivals as clientele, you might think what draws people to Sequim!” First, a small business that depends on new clientele to stay in business may want to rethink its business plan.

moved to Sequim 15 years ago, we had never heard of SARC — indeed we didn’t know of its existence until one time driving down Fifth Avenue. There are many attractions far and away above SARC that draw people to this area; one of them is public taxes with some level of sanity included in their imposition. SARC may be some kind of public entity but one must join SARC and pay membership dues to use the facility. My opinion is, let the people who use the facility pay for its upkeep through increased membership dues. Expecting the public to pick up the tab seems a bit arrogant to me.

Finally, I recommend that the writer return to his copy of the Gazette and read, “You can’t have a private gym and call it a public pool,” the article hits the nail squarely on the head. I am a NO vote for the SARC levy. Ethan Harris Sequim

House passed this bill to the Senate, and the Republican leadership of the Senate let it die. In considering the votes across the country for paid sick days, why don’t we just consider that inaction a Mulligan and take a do-over this year. The Democratic House can pass it over to the Senate, and this time, the Senate actually could consider this bill and take an up-or-down vote on it. That would be refreshing. While they are at it, the Legislature might want to consider increasing the

state’s minimum wage to $12 an hour over a threeyear period. This was introduced by Rep. Jessyn Farrell, D-Seattle. It made it through one committee and stopped there. Some members of the House thought that they had done enough for workers by passing the paid sick days bill. Increasing the minimum wage was just too heavy a lift for them. But our minimum wage is still less than what it was, adjusted for inflation, in 1972. Raising the minimum wage is good

of which is Quinault Canyon. At 4,600 feet deep, Quinault Canyon is about the same distance from sea level as the summit of Mount Storm King. The sanctuary’s numerous off-shore islands serve as important breeding grounds for many seabirds (including common murres, auklets, cormorants, among others) as well as marine mammals. For centuries, Olympic Coast waters have provided a bountiful livelihood to the tribes that live there, including the Makah Nation, Hoh and Quileute tribes and Quinault

or canneries there. Large ships (400 gross tons or heavier) and vessels carrying oil or other hazardous materials mostly stay out of the sanctuary’s “Area To Be Avoided,” though they are not required to by law. Managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, our sanctuary includes a local staff of resource managers, scientists and educators. A research vessel called R/V Tatoosh that operates predominantly out of LaPush and Neah Bay is used to deploy and maintain oceanographic equipment that monitors physical and biological aspects such as temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients and other data important to gauge the health of the marine ecosystem. OCNMS operates a free and friendly visitor center on the waterfront in Port Angeles called the Olympic Coast Discovery Center, which serves to educate visitors about the sanctuary and issues critical to ocean conservation. You can visit the museum during the summer, seven days a week from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at 115 E. Railroad Ave. and on weekends through October.

of these tragic events have been uncovered but other vessels simply vanished in the misty waters, never to be heard from again. It was a shipwreck that became one of the driving forces behind the creation of the sanctuary. On June 22, 1991, a Japanese fish processing vessel called the Tenyo Maru was working about 25 miles northwest of Cape Flattery, at the mouth of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It had a crew of 85 and contained 450,000 gallons of bunker fuel and diesel oil. Seas were calm that morning but a dense fog had settled over the water. Also in the area was a Chinese vessel called the Tuo Hai. Despite warnings from nearby fishing boats, the Tuo Hai traveled through the fog at high speed and sliced into the Tenyo Maru, cutting the larger vessel in half. The Tenyo Maru sank immediately, leaking its fuel and oil into the pristine waters. Though only one man was killed, the resulting oil slick contaminated the coastline from Vancouver Island to Oregon. The worst of it hit shore on Makah lands. Though the owners of the Tuo Hai paid a $9 million fine, the massive cleanup job was left to locals. Three years later, the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary was established. Though fishing is allowed, the sanctuary waters are protected from exploration and development, which means you won’t see oil rigs

Most Americans know plenty about our national parks and probably have visited several of them. Folks here on the peninsula treasure our exquisitely beautiful crown jewel, Olympic National Park. Lesser known are the nation’s 14 marine protected areas (13 marine sanctuaries and one marine national monument), which are similar to national parks except they’re in the water. You may not be aware that the Olympic Peninsula claims a second breathtaking crown jewel, Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS). Our sanctuary’s waters span 135 miles down the outer coast, from Cape Flattery to just north of the Copalis River, and extend 25-50 miles outward into the ocean. Nearly two and a half times the size of Olympic National Park, OCNMS is home to a magnificent array of marine mammals such as whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals, sea lions and sea otters. Other wild inhabitants include the extremely rare leatherback sea turtle and strangelooking ocean sunfish, along with salmon, halibut, rockfish, skate and many other species. The coastline is a mixture of cobble and sandy beaches, with fantastic tidepools. Rugged cliffs and shorelines are dotted with islands called “sea stacks” or “needles.” Three deep sea canyons are found within the sanctuary, the deepest

Reminiscences from the Olympics

Holiday traditions

Oakes, retired doctor, pens first book, ‘Skiing in Olympic National Park’ by ALANA LINDEROTH

The Food Connection

Sequim Gazette

With the exception of 14 years away while Roger Oakes attended medical school and served in the Army, the longtime local doctor and mountain enthusiast has spent most of his life on the Olympic Peninsula and always has been drawn to the Olympic Mountains – especially the high country where trees become far and few between, alpine streams seep from ancient glaciers and the air is crisp and cool nearly year-round. Knowing he wanted to live where he had family roots and be near the mountains he had grown an attachment to, Oakes pursued a career in medicine and retired from his Port Angeles-based practice after 37 years in 2011. Retirement allowed Oakes to finally delve into the local history surrounding skiing Book signing and after his interest was piqued in 2001 during a brief sabinteractive forum batical where he spent hours Featuring: “Skiing in Olympic in the park’s cultural resource National Park” center learning the rich relaAuthor: Roger Oakes tionship between skiing and When: 7 p.m., Friday, Dec. 12. nearby mountains.

Peabody St. ity and it led him to write the More info: Call Port Book and newly released book, “Skiing News 452-6367 in Olympic National Park.” Having never written a book before, Oakes pitched the book idea to officials with Arcadia Publishing, the company responsible for a series of books known as “Images of America.”

In the recently released book, “Skiing In Olympic National Park,” Roger Oakes further explores his longlasting relationship with the area and in doing so shares the historical story of two small ski areas nestled into the high country of the Olympic Mountains.

“The ‘Images of America’ books are structured,” Oakes said. “At first I thought it was too ‘cookbook’ for me, but it turned out to be pretty good.” The book uses a series of photographs and captions to tell the evolution of skiing in the Olympic Mountains while providing insight into the area’s cultural past, unique environmental characteristics and relationship with the park service. “The most challenging part was getting good pictures,” Oakes said. “It’s amazing how many people have skied up there but didn’t take pictures or couldn’t find them.” After months of networking, announcements

The holiday season is one of traditions – many, of course, relating to food and special meals. Early in our own relationship we were surprised to discover that we both grew up eating the same Christmas dinner – roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. If you aren’t familiar with Yorkshire pudding, you should be! It is a simple eggheavy batter into which you whip some hot beef fat before pouring into a hot pan (or hot muffin tins) containing a bit of hot beef fat in the bottom. The pudding rises like magic when it bakes (in Yorkshire, puddings must be at least four inches tall to be considered a “Yorkshire pudding”) and tastes rich and delicious when covered with gravy. We each remember our own mother’s proud moments when early attempts came out just right. Now we hope for the best each year in our own oven! A good friend of ours grew up near Chicago and his family’s Christmas meal was (and still is!) Italian beef sandwiches. He remembers his mother cooking beef in the slow cooker for hours

Ridge

From page B-1 in the newspaper and scouring the National Park and U.S. Forest Service’s archives, Oakes was able to provide snapshots of years past with 197 historical photographs, some dating back to the late 1920s. “Deer Park was the real story because it was such a popular, local scene,” Oakes said. “There was once a lodge there and a lot of people have many very fond memories.” Under the control of the Forest Service and before the creation of Olympic National Park, skiing began at Blue Mountain in 1934 after a narrow, notoriously steep and twisting road, Deer Park Road, was built. In response to the Great Depression and seizing opportunities enacted by the New Deal, such as the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Forest Service pushed to develop areas and construct roads like Deer Park Road. Though decades have long passed, the road remains a daunting one at its upper reaches, Oakes said. By about 1936 the first ski lift was established at Deer Park and the area became the “premier” ski area in the Northwest, he said. Within his 18-month window to complete the book, Oakes learned the Olympic Mountains provided far more than opportunity for outdoor recreation, but places like Deer Park were once a social hub. “I don’t know if anyone has ever told that story very well,” Oakes said, referring to the social dynamic behind the ski culture in the mid 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. “While researching for this book, I really began to realize Deer

Park was more than just a ski area.” Relying on both countless hours of research and his own ongoing involvement with the Hurricane Ridge Winter Sports Club (a nonprofit corporation responsible for the ski area), Oakes also highlights the National Park Service, its creation and the reasoning behind moving the ski area from Deer Park to Hurricane Ridge. “There are only two ski areas left in national parks – here and one in Yosemite,” Oakes said. “Most ski areas are in national forests.” Because the ski area at Hurricane Ridge is within the confines of Olympic National Park, it is as big as it’s ever going to get, Oakes said, noting the restrictions unique to the area because of its location. However, Oakes mentions in the book’s introduction that “many think that small, affordable ski areas like this will make a comeback.” Unlike the majority of ski areas that have experienced technological advancements and physical expansion, skiing within the vast wilderness of Olympic National Park is somewhat like taking a step a back in time – even two of the three original engines used at the Deer Park ski area throughout the 1930s are still used at Hurricane Ridge, Oakes said. “There is still so much more to be told,” Oakes said. “I think I will continue digging up more history and I hope the book will be a catalyst of sorts to gather more information.” Royalties collected from “Skiing In Olympic National Park” support Hurricane Ridge Winter Sports Education Foundation. The book is widely available at local stores, including Port Book and News.

The theme for this year’s Wolves squad is big. Big expectations, big shoes to fill, big questions about their lineup … and they’re just plain big. Boasting nearly 10 players at 6 feet 2 inches or taller, Sequim has the size to match up with anyone in the Olympic League, but head coach Greg Glasser says that doesn’t necessarily equate to victories. “One thing we learned at the state tournament is it all comes down to who wants that ball,” he says. “We want more shots than the other team.” The Wolves are seeking another shot at that state tourney after going 1-2 at state in 20132014 and dropping both games at

The team may be small, but they look to pack some punch. Sequim’s boys swimming and diving program is 12 members strong this season, with five returning athletes looking to lead the Wolves to wins and postseason success. Back is senior Eric Prosser, seeking his third consecutive state meet PROSSER berth. He competed in the 100 backstroke and two relays as a sophomore and was 20th in both the 200 individual medley and 100 back as a junior last season. Also back is junior Wendall Lorenzen, the Wolves’ LORENZEN captain in 2013-2014, and freestyler Christian Goodrich.

A quick postseason exit last season left the Lady Wolves basketball team with higher goals for this year. It was the Sequim girls’ first trip back after a two-year absence going 10-10 in the regular season. A core of eight girls who played in or watched the 41-31 loss to Franklin Pierce return this year. “All those girls who were there now have that experience,” said head coach Evan Still. “It’s a lot faster pace but if we focus on what we do best, we’ll we can go far.” Nerves might have played into the game, Still said, as the girls took seven minutes to score their first points but they rallied and

The Lightning coach also praised forward Kobe Applegate and midfielder Kristian Mingoy for contributing quality minutes and good scoring chances.

For the third consecutive season, Peninsula College’s soccer teams have led all of the colleges in the Northwest Athletic Conference in the number of All-Academic Award winners. Seven women and six men were named to the 2014 NWAC All-Academic Team for excellent academic performance. The award is limited to qualifying sophomore athletes. Earning that honor this fall for P.C.’s women’s team were Solana Ashe, Alyssa Bertuleit, Kasie Lough, Larkyn Nelson, Mary Pierce, Paxton Rodocker and Brooke Yoshimura. All-Academic winners for the men included Dylan Clark, Kassio Monteiro, Daniel Moss, Victor Sanchez, Keevan Webb and Aaron Zovolokin. “The success of the soccer program over the years has allowed us to be selective in our recruiting,” said Kanyon Anderson, who served as head coach for both the women’s and men’s teams this year. “The whole experience is better when we bring in players who excel on the field, in the classroom and in the community,” he said. “And again this year, we were fortunate enough to bring in high character student athletes.” Peninsula College athletic director Rick Ross also had high praise for the All-Academic winners. “We call it the Pirate Way and it’s about striving for championships on the field, success in the classroom and giving back to our community,” Ross said.

Adrienne HaggertyHill goes for a shot against Katherine Landoni. Head coach Evan Still said Haggerty-Hill, the varsity team’s only sophomore, has a lot of upside for the Wolves.

From page B-5 to the starting lineup with seniors Elise Beuke and Victoria Cummins in the post and guards McKenzie Bentz and Kylee Williams. Cummins, who returns for her third year on varsity, said the girls are definitely motivated to win this year. “We have six seniors this year and it’s clicking faster,” she said. “It’s taking a lot less time get in the groove.” She said she and Beuke took it upon themselves to fill in some of Besand’s defense and offense. “(Elise) and I have been best friends since we were young,” Cummins said. “It’s so much easier to see the gaps and since we’re both playing the exact same position we see each other better.” Still said Beuke and Cummins are a good tandem. “They feed off each other and should get a lot of rebounds,” he said. Many of the girls participated in summer ball and Williams, a junior, was all-around improved, Still said, by dominating several games and stepping up at point guard. “Now we have another point guard option so that McKenzie isn’t the only one bringing the ball up,” Still said.

Change of plans This season, Still plans to enact a matchup-zone defense, which allows for man-to-man and zone defenses depending on the situations and where the ball goes. “It’s tough to run but if we run it correctly, it’ll be hard to play against,” he said. Cummins said she’s seen the team improve a lot on defense. “It’s really starting to come together,” she said. “You can tell we want it and we are doing the little things. (For example), if a girl is helping (on defense) she is just literally taking those two steps to help.” Offensively, Sequim will set a lot more plays, Still said, looking for layups, open 3-pointers and more high percentage shots. If Stofferahn isn’t ready to go by the beginning of the season, senior

Katherine Landoni may step in to start. “She’s smart and can play great with confidence,” Still said. Cummins said Landoni is one player for the Wolves who is under the radar. “She’s the one setting the perfect screen and working her butt off,” she said. “(Landoni) is one of the smartest players on the court and definitely patient.” Still said all of the girls have accepted their roles. “They have the thinking that it’s all for the common good and to follow our goal to go to the state tournament,” he said. This year, five teams from the Olympic League, instead of four participate in districts. Many teams in the league lost depth with graduating seniors, Still said, and Sequim will be competing for the league title likely with Port Angeles, Olympic and Kingston. He said the seedings to districts will be go down to the last week of the season. Sequim opened its season Tuesday, Dec. 2, in Bainbridge Island and hosts Klahowya Friday, Dec. 5.

From page B-5 Espinoza (“probably our best athlete,” Glasser notes) and Tim Tyler. Brand new to the Sequim program is Austin Adams, a strong post player who transferred from Las Vegas, Nev. “Austin … is a nice kid and he’s totally bought into what we want to do,” the Sequim coach says. Also new is freshman guard Payton Glasser, the Sequim coach’s son. “I love it,” the coach says. “He’s asking, ‘What can I do to get better’ and played in the camps and tournament (in the summer).” “ T h i s i s one of t he younger, more inexperienced teams I’ve had,” says Glasser, entering his eighth sea son a s head coach in Sequim. “It may take some time (for the

newcomers) to catch up to varsity speed.” While the team is young, Glasser notes his squad is double-figures deep — presenting coaches with a real challenge as to how to fill up a starting five and how to spread out court time. “It may be a challenge night to night — we may go 10 deep before we figure out a

combination,” Glasser says. Some SHS varsity players may see a half of JV action and another half of varsity time on certain nights during the season. “I don’t want them to sit too much at the varsity level,” Glasser says. Last season, Sequim went 13-3 in league play — second behind champ Bremerton (15-1) — and 15-5 in the

Each month Jaysa Hill’s fourthgrade class learns how to write a different type of poem. For the month of November, these creative students practiced writing acrostic poems using adjectives, verbs and “juicy words” that painted a picture in their readers’ minds. Acrostic poems are designed to describe a specific word or topic. The letters in this word are then written vertically down the side of the page. Next to each letter, students come up with a word or phrase that begins with that letter, which describes the original word. As you can see, with this group of fourth-graders, there is no shortage of creativity!

Jon Eekhoff and his journalism class ventured to Seattle on Nov. 10 to visit the offices of KING-5 News and The Globalist. The journalism class is responsible for producing The Growl, the school’s online newspaper. KING-5 news anchor Lori Matsukawa acted as guide during the 90-minute tour of the entire news organization. Along the way, the class met with the KING-5 team in charge of social media and had time to brainstorm ways to improve readership for The Growl. The class visited all of the on-set locations of KING-5 and had the opportunity to see how all of the pieces are put together for the newscast. Highlights included visiting the set and seeing the weather room. The class then journeyed to the University of Washington to visit The Globalist — an online magazine and part of the master’s program at UW’s Department of Communications. The class had an hour to meet with Globalist cofounder and editor Sarah Stuteville. Discussion ranged from the future of journalism to the production of an online newspaper. Art students will now be featured at Sequim’s Blue Whole Gallery as part of the First Friday Art Walk each month. November’s selection was AP Art student Emily Webb, whose charcoal self-portrait is on display at the gallery. December will feature Abigayle Mayo’s work, a ceramic lantern/ sculpture. The partnership between the gallery and SHS has provided an excellent venue to highlight WEBB individual students of SHS art programs and help establish connections between young artists and members of our community. One student per month will be MAYO selected to show in the gallery space. Art instructor Jake Reichner encourages all faculty, students and members of the community to take part in the Art Walks (first Friday evening of each month), and have a chance to meet the artists (students and otherwise) and view the fantastic things going on in our local art community! Seven choir students recently were accepted into the Washington All-State Symphonic Choir and one student was accepted into the AllNorthwest Mixed Choir. All-State Symphonic Choir inductees are Emma Brown (Alto 1), Colleen Carpenter (Soprano 1), Nicholas Fazio (Tenor 2), Benjamin Heintz (Bass 2), Hayden James (Tenor 2), Abby Norman (Alto 1) and Tomi Jo Wilson (Alto 1). All-Northwest Mixed Choir inductee is Eric Hermosada (Tenor 1). The choir program is under the direction of John Lorentzen. A huge thank you to the Sequim Education Foundation and a big congratulations to sophomore Danica Miller. Danica was nominated to attend the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) program at Washington State University this comMILLER ing June. Thanks to SEF’s generosity in funding the required registration fee, Danica is good to go! HOBY programs provide students selected by their schools to participate in unique leadership training, service-learning and motivation-building experiences.

Does the cat’s box need changing? Do the leaves need to be picked up off of the front porch? Do you need some things organized in the garage? Ask for help. This is teaching him helping skills which are an asset for anyone to have. You probably may not get an eager response but maybe this is an activity that you may want to encourage to help your child earn some money for the holidays. Giving gifts when you are a teen usually takes some money. That is a good way to help your teen out while encouraging him to be a help to you. Teens need to learn about handling money. This encourages him to build his financial skills. We all need to learn about that skill.
