Barn again? Branding Sequim Barn owner Mark Smith poses in front of the 1940s-era barn. Sequim Gazette photos by Patricia Morrison Coate

Owner of old barn invites options to rehab, repurpose or even recycle by PATRICIA MORRISON COATE Sequim Gazette

Some barns are beautiful with intricate cupolas and shapely gambrel roofs. Others are just plain Janes, built for function only, without an eye to the esthetic. Such is a barn that Mark Smith acquired in September on Harrison Road. Recently he posted fliers through the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce which in effect say, “Take my barn — please!” The family company, JOJACO Properties, owned by

Smith, his wife Aleta and daughters Jode Beauvais and Jacquie Wilskey, has several adjoining parcels on Harrison Road and as good neighbors, its owners are committed to cleaning up the neighborhood. “The new owners say blow it up, burn it down, get it out of our sight!” reads Smith’s flier. He may not be looking for such drastic measures, but Smith certainly wants some good use to come of the barn — by someone else. “We removed two 20-yard dump trucks of junk out of

How do we name people from the city of sunshine? How do you feel about being a Sequimite? How about a Sequimarian? Or a Sequimmer or Sequimian? When I first started with the Sequim Gazette, I wrote a column that asked “What are the people of Sequim called?” Following a bad joke about sequins and disco, the column alluded that by definition a Sequim resident is a Sequimite. A few days after that column ran, a reader phoned me to say I was incorrect. She said a newcomer was a Sequimite and after a certain amount of time they become a Sequimarian. But, two children later and countless stories written, I can’t recall if it was the other way around or not. What we do know is that there are some definites — Seattle people are

Reporter’s Notebook Matthew Nash Seattleites and Portland residents are Portlanders. But not much credence goes into naming the people of smaller cities like Sequim. Do you refer to your grandmother in Gig Harbor as a Gig Harborian or Uncle Stu in Sammamish as a Sammamishian? Probably not.

Doug McInnes, who publishes “The Ditchwalker” for Sequim Old-Timers and Sequim Schools Alumni, wrote a tongue-and-cheek column on the subject of who we are in November 2005. “Having to say you are ‘from Sequim’ hasn’t got any real class or rhythm to it, like saying you are Parisian or Laplander,” he wrote. McInnes considered several options including the popular Sequimite which he said “conjured up visions of small burrowing creatures that eat your house.” He discards a few other choices, too. Sequimlandian: too long. Sequestiran: too horse-related. Sequimmer: “too much like swimmer and the town isn’t even on the water.”

PUD approves 3.5% electricity rate increase for 2015 General manager gets pay increase; district’s capital projects under way by MATTHEW NASH

customer can expect to pay about $3.35 more per month. Utility district commissioners Starting April 1, 2015, the aver- unanimously approved the 3.5 age Clallam Public Utility District percent electricity rate increase Sequim Gazette

on Dec. 15, following a 3.5 percent increase in July, which was the fourth time in five years the commissioners agreed to raise rates. Also impacted are the utility district’s water and sewer users, with more than 900 in the Sequim area, who will see a 6 percent increase on Jan. 1, 2015. Utility district officials

say the increase equates to about $2.50 per month to water bills and $2.40 per month for sewer bills. Dave Papandrew, utility district treasurer/controller, said the electricity rates stem from anticipated 8 percent wholesale rate increases from the Bonneville Power Administration every two years.

Utility District General Manager Doug Nass said at a recent Sequim informational meeting about the increases that Bonneville has its own rising costs with replacing aging infrastructure and machines so it is passing on some of its costs

Tooth Truth

with Richard (Bud) Davies, DDS Family Dentist

TOOTH TROUBLE

Zings, zaps, twinges, twangs and other assorted pains. In my experience the first thought of tooth pain suggests to a patient is a cavity or tooth decay. But in fact, unless a tooth decay is advanced, most people will not notice it. A biting sensitivity could be a tooth cusp fracture. Cold or sweet sensitivity is often due to exposed root surface due to gum recession or tooth brush abrasion. Other pains could be due to sensitization of tooth nerves from bite discrepancies or even sinus irritations. That is not to diminish the possibility of the presence of tooth decay. However more tooth decay is found while looking for something else or during a general examination including x-rays than looking for a the source of pain episode. Therefore we recommend regular dental checkups to discover treatment needs rather than waiting for discomfort to spur action.

Community Aid continues Toys for Sequim Kids effort Sequim Gazette staff

With a little over a week before the 67th Toys for Sequim Kids, donations began to pour in. Donna Tidrick, president of Sequim Community Aid, said donations to benefit in-need Sequim parents of infants to 14-year-olds with toys, clothes, blankets and more were looking down. But Toys for Tots helped with some donations, Tidrick said, and Sequim Community Aid used some financial donations to purchase needed items for the event

on Dec. 19 in Trinity United Methodist Church. “We’re truly blessed to have t his,” sa id Dawn Washburn of Sequim. As a participant, Washburn was looking for items for her three children ages 8 months to 14 years old. In recent years, parents and guardians trickled in throughout the day but this year many of the items were gone before lunch. This year stuffed animals were particularly popular and they had more blankets than ever before, said Shirley Anderson, a member of Sequim

Community Aid. Myrna Ford, treasurer for the nonprofit, said they hope for more clothing donations next year, too. Toys for Sequim Kids is one part of Sequim Community Aid’s efforts. It also provides assistance for electricity, wa-

ter and rent bills and deposits to families in need. For help, reach Sequim Community Aid’s beeper at 681-3731. To donate or send money, mail a letter to Sequim Community Aid, P.O. Box 1591, Sequim, WA 98382. For Toys for Sequim Kids, designate “toys.”

Serenity House picks new executive director Kim Leach, deputy director of Serenity House of Clallam County, has been selected as the agency’s new executive director, succeeding Kathy Wahto. “I believe in the mission, I understand the mission and I feel I’m in a good position to carry out the Ten Year Plan to end homelessness,” Leach said. “I’m looking forward to the challenge and the opportunity to lead such a great staff.” Brando Blore, Serenity House board president, said, “The board is very satisfied to have someone with lengthy experience continuing the agency’s success.” According to Blore, board members were pleased to hire a local person and someone with such substantive experience with the agency and the community.

Leach has experience with program development, community involvement, children in families, corrections, drug treatment and research. She worked for the Port Angeles School District prior to becoming Serenity House’s Child Advocate in 2003. She advanced from lead case manager for family service programs to deputy director in 2013. Leach graduated cum laude from Ottawa University in Ottawa, Kan., with a bachelor’s degree in human services, with an emphasis in child advocacy and corrections. Serenity House is a local nonprofit, founded in 1982, dedicated to preventing and ending homelessness in Clallam County. For more information, call 452-7224 or e-mail serenity@olypen.com.

From page A-1 it and still have some to go,” Smith said. “The biggest reason I’m doing this is to get the property cleaned up. It’s been a mess for 15 years. The neighbors are very excited about the new ownership because the property’s been neglected. They’re all very happy to get the property cleaned up.” Smith is entertaining several options: Lease it to someone who will remodel it for a business, part out the barn and sell its lumber or have someone dismantle it and rebuild it on another property. Smith recalls the 3,000-square-foot dairy barn with a 1,000-square-foot loft from the early 1950s and assumes it was built in the 1940s. In the 1970s his parents purchased the property and later sold it. The loft still has a steel trolley for moving hay to the hay mow. Fir beams, probably about a foot thick, support the roof and fir boards

From page A-1 McI n ne s s et t le d on Sequimese but today says Sequimite is the best. Other Sequim pioneers seem to agree or at least that the phrase is the most recognizable. Bud Knapp said at first he

are visible from inside at the roofline. At some point in its history, sheds were attached on both sides of the main barn and an addition, on waist-high concrete blocks, was put on the back as milking parlor for dairy cows. Research by Judy Stipe of the Museum & Arts Center in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley didn’t turn up the barn builder’s name and everyone she talked to said it has no historical significance. “It’s not any unique style,” Smith said. “The main barn is not in bad shape but to remodel it to be commercially viable is going to take quite a bit of work. I’ve had three or four folks call, so we’ll see. Tearing it down, that’s a possibility. If I do take it down, I will try to repurpose the materials. “There are a lot of large frame timbers and the flooring in the loft could be reused. I believe a lot of the wood came out of the Carlsborg Sawmill, where the Industrial Park is now.” Smith said he has a timeline of six months to make a decision on the barn’s fate. Contact him at 683-3737 to see the barn and share ideas.

thought Sequimite sounds right but has heard otherwise. “I’ve heard people from Port Townsend and Chimacum call us Sequimmers, but I really don’t know,” he said. Judy Stipe, a representative for the Museum & Arts Center in the SequimDungeness Valley, said Sequim’s old-timers weren’t

much for nicknames but of the few names she’s heard range from Sequimmers to Sequimolites. “Sequimites sounds like a bug,” she said. Shelli Robb-Kahler, executive director for the SequimDungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce, said Sequimite is what she’s always heard. “And I’ve was born and

raised here,” she said. Some newer residents like Renne Brock-Richmond, who produces the First Friday Art Walk and serves as an instructor at Peninsula College, find Sequim to be an exclusive name at times. She grew up coming to Sequim for vacations and knew how to pronounce it but

she finds that’s not always the case especially when speaking with people from across the globe. “People struggle with being able to pronounce Sequim,” she said. “But they are familiar with how to say swim so I use Sequimmers. That way they have an attachment. Plus I’m a big fan of double consonants.”

Other possibilities After analyzing countless denonyms, a term for residents of an area, it seems a number of suffixes would fit Sequim. Adding an “ian” would follow along with fellow Washingtonians. McInnes’ Sequimese could work but so could Sequimi and Sequimonian. Another local, Tom Pitre, refers to other Sequim residents and himself as the previously mentioned Sequimarian. “It has a more regal feel to it than Sequimite,” he said. “Sequimite is too close to termites, while Sequimarians are residents of Sequim bobway, “a kingdom unto itself,” a term I used on a T-shirt and I wear, proudly.” Pitre said he associates the suffix “ite” with phrases like the Israelites and stalactites, and other minerals and old fossils, whereas “arian” means to him is a person that has a connection with Sequim. Patty McManus Huber, co-owner of Nash’s Organic Produce, isn’t so sure about Sequimarian. “It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie,” she joked. But when asked to choose, she said Sequimite is the first name that popped into her head. “I would sure be open to something else,” she said. L ook ing online a nd through countless newspapers, Sequimite appears to be the norm with the phrase appearing sporadically in headlines and stories for at least 10 years. However, the phrase only seems local to Sequim and the North Olympic Peninsula. Grammatical rules for the suffix “ite” would suggest Sequimite could work along with several other options. There’s no known decree or slogan or song and some officials shrug when asked what we’re called. Finding consensus doesn’t seem to be an option on a name with so many options but if we aren’t quite sold on Sequimite like McManusHuber suggested, maybe we should be open to another idea. We could default to a slogan like “City of Sunshine,” or “Land of Lavender.” But simply being from Sequim does seem to matter to many of its residents young and mature. Can you find another small city with so many names for itself?

COMMUNITY NEWS BRIEFS Hardy’s offers holiday dinner This holiday season Hardy’s Market, 10200 Old Olympic Highway, Sequim, invites the public to a complimentary traditional Christmas Eve dinner today. Dine in or take with you while supplies last on Christmas Eve, Wednesday, Dec. 24, starting at 11 a.m. No early birds, please.

SARC board to meet A quorum of the SARC Board of Commissioners will meet at 5 p.m. Monday, Dec. 22, in the upstairs offices at the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center, 610 N. Fifth Ave. The purpose is to discuss and possibly approve a resolution calling for a change in the language of the ballot for the February election on an M & O levy in 2015 and a change in the bylaws to change the location of the SARC board meetings from the Fifth Avenue Retirement Center, 500 W. Hendrickson Road, to the Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave.

Charter Commission resets first meeting The first meeting of the Clallam County Charter Review Commission will be at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 23, in the county commissioner’s meeting room at the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St., Port

Angeles. The meeting will include oaths of office, consideration of the election of officers, rules of procedure and regular meeting schedules. The charter review’s first meeting was originally slated for Dec. 18 but after consulting with legal counsel, county officials determined the meeting was not properly noticed in compliance with the provisions of the Open Public Meetings Act; specifically, they said, the notice of the meeting was not posted on Clallam County’s website.

Senior Nutrition menu set Sequim Senior Nutrition Site menus are served at 4:30 p.m. at Suncrest Village Retirement Apartments, 251 S. Fifth Ave. Suggested donation is $5 (60 and over), $8 guest, and a 24-hour advance reservation is needed. RSVP to 683-8491. Menus are subject to change.

IRA owners who are 70½ years old and are required to take an IRA distribution again have another option. Since 2006, the federal government has permitted IRA owners to roll over required distributions up to $100,000 from their IRA to a charity without paying any federal taxes. This option has been temporarily unavailable this past year but has again been renewed by legislators in tax legislation approved on Dec. 16 for 2014. This means that if you already made a transfer from your IRA to a charity or do so prior to the end of December, you can avoid the additional tax burden of the distribution. United Way of Clallam County is one organization to consider for this charitable giving – United Way has a permanent endowment fund through the Clallam Community Foundation providing a way to leave a lasting legacy that positively impacts education, income and health needs in your community every year. This is a continuous investment in strengthening the entire community. For more information on making a lifetime or legacy gift or for other local giving options, contact United Way of Clallam County at 457-3011 or your financial advisor. For help with a transfer of assets, contact your IRA custodian.

It is amazing what the Clallam County community can do. So many volunteers, so many very generous community members. United Way is calling on those generous donors now. The United Way campaign has reached $386,000 or 38.6 percent of the $1 million goal. More businesses and community members continue to turn in their campaign results daily and United Way expects this amount to increase significantly. The campaign is tracking to match last year’s total donations, which fell about 10 percent short of the goal. This year United Way is reaching out, asking community members to give a small amount to strengthen local communities. If everyone gave just $10, it would exceed its goal. United Way invests community donations throughout the year in 23 partner agencies delivering services in the areas of education, income and health, and in United Way’s four Community Solutions initiatives:

the 2-1-1 Help Line, Access to Health Care Coalition, the Clallam County Literacy Council and Great Beginnings, United Way’s newest featured work focused on early learning. Great Beginnings helps parents and others become the best first teachers of children so that all Clallam County children get a Great Beginning. When

3 9

children start school ready to learn, they are more successful in school and life. When the community invests in one child it strengthens the family, eventually a single investment leads to a more thriving community. Many community members also volunteer with these agencies and initiatives, and additional volunteers always are welcome. United Way year-end giving helps families know that they have made a difference here at home. Parents also can encourage children to make decisions about charitable giving and volunteering, which raises children to embrace this kind of community involvement. The United Way office at 102½ E First St, Port Angeles, will be open Dec. 29-31 for year-end donations. Contributions also can be mailed to PO Box 937, Port Angeles, WA 98362. To give by credit card, visit www. unitedwayclallam.org/give, or call 457-3011. The fundraising campaign ends March 31, 2015.

Bringing the school bond to the fore School district, advocates making rounds to inform about $49 million proposal Sequim Gazette staff

Last week’s Olympic Medical Center board of commissioners meeting was just the most recent in a series of presentations by Sequim School District staffers and advocates for a $49.2 million school construction bond proposal, set to go to voters in February. Sequim schools superintendent Kelly Shea told commissioners about the plan, and while commissioners didn’t draw a resolution to publicly support the Sequim proposal or a Port Angeles School District bond proposal they learned about on Dec. 17, commissioners did indicate they would discuss such a resolution at their next meeting set for Jan. 7. “One of the main questions we get from our younger doctors, (is) … they ask about the schools,”

OMC board president Jim Leskinovich said. “We all know how important it is to have good school systems.” “This is not a school board decision,” Shea told commissioners. “This is a community decision.” Shea noted that the Sequim School District has more than 20 portables in place, buildings that he said are supposed to be temporary. Some of them are more than 20 years old. “We need permanent solutions,” Shea told the OMC board. “That’s what we’re looking for here.” And while Shea isn’t allowed to openly advocate that citizens vote to approve the bond plan, the group Citizens for Sequim Schools is. “I think we’ve found something the community can support,” Jim Stoffer, Citizens for Sequim Schools bond campaign chairman, said. “It’s pretty positive (so far).” For more information about Citizens for Sequim Schools, see w w w.facebook.com /CitizensForSequimSchools.

America’s Elite specializes in disaster restoration Local company mitigates water, fire, mold damage by PATRICIA MORRISON COATE Sequim Gazette

Few residents can miss the red, white and blue moving truck with America’s Elite emblazoned on the side at 765 W. Washington St. in Sequim but moving is only a small part of what this versatile and specialized company does. In 2012, longtime area resident Sean Ryan opened his own independent, licensed, bonded and insured business under the nationwide America’s Elite banner. “We offer water and fire mitigation and restoration, repossessed home renovation, general contracting, trauma scene cleanup and moving services,” explained Robert Porrazzo, the company’s manager. Added Ryan, “I saw the need for a good restoration company on the peninsula. It’s a good market and it helps people, too.” The bulk of their business is responding to water pipe breaks that flood floors and drench drywall. “Probably the more common service is water loss from a broken pipe that causes floor and wall damage. Our job is to go in and dry the structure appropriately so mold doesn’t grow and we’re trained in water

damage mitigation,” Porrazzo said. “We also provide mold testing and removal. For fire loss, we do salvage of the homeowners’ personal items and retrieve and restore them.” “Drying out is really scientific — if you don’t know what you’re doing, you can cause a lot of damage,” Ryan noted, stressing the worst thing a resident can do to a wet room is crank up the heat because heat plus moisture equals mold. Typically, when a home has sustained water damage from a clear water source like a burst pipe or overflowed bathtub, the customer calls and Ryan’s team mobilizes with its equipment, including giant dehumidifiers, to the residence, arriving within an hour. Porrazzo or Ryan does a walk-through with the client while mentally developing a mitigation plan and documenting the damage electronically. They discuss the plan with the homeowner and determine if the damage is such that an insurance claim should be filed. “We start by extracting the water from all surfaces, removing personal items and placing furniture on special foam blocks so the legs won’t get wetter,” Porrazzo said. “If we can get to a loss in four days we generally can save the sheetrock and carpet — wet sheetrock can be dried to its original hard state. The sooner we’re able to get to a loss, the less tear-out, which is better for the homeowner

and the insurance company.”

Moving services “We learned we’re really good movers and we can move anything from a household to vehicles — and we will go across the country,” Ryan said. “We also do civil standbys for evictions and will help evictees or landlords get items out of the property.” The company offers expert packing and loading.

Trauma and compassion Although both Ryan, a six-year volunteer firefighter, and Porrazzo, a paid and volunteer veteran firefighter/EMT for 12 years, have seen plenty of trauma and death, working on a trauma cleanup case is never without emotion for them. The aftermath of a suicide, murder, other traumatic or delayed discov-

First Fed Supports YMCA Campaign

ery death in a home and the cleanup it requires is daunting. “Trauma scenes are the hardest because there’s emotion there. (As a firefighter/EMT) a suicide always broke my heart because there was a person hurting inside. When we come in (as America’s Elite) what’s left is a family hurting inside,” Porrazzo said. “The hardest thing to do is hand grieving people a bill. It’s more than a job for us.” “With trauma services, compassion is our thing,” Ryan said. “We get emotionally attached — at the end of the cleanup the survivors consider us family. It’s impossible to remain unattached. And confidentiality with us is huge. We don’t talk about it or attract attention when we’re there in cleanup.” “I’d rather it be us rather than a Seattle company just doing a job. We make trauma go away the best

we can,” Porrazzo said.

Community service Ryan said the company has five full-time employees and seven part-time ones and that he makes a conscious effort to hire veterans and people on public assistance to train them for family wage jobs. “We’re actually trained as first responders — a lot of us trained with Clallam County Fire District 3 — and we require all our employees to have CPR and first aid training,” Ryan said. “They’re also required to stop and assist if they see a situation. We also provide $25,000 in scholarships of $750-$1,500 to students at Sequim High School and provide Christmas for families identified to us by Head Start. We really do try to give back to the community.”

Marijuana impairment focus of extra patrols T Wahsington Safety Traffic Commission

A new survey of drivers shows seven out of 10 have used marijuana and almost half of those recently have driven within a couple of hours after marijuana use. If you or someone you know uses marijuana and drives while high, beware — extra DUI patrols are happening statewide this holiday season between now and Jan. 1, 2015. According to preliminary re-

sults of a June survey measuring driver impairment on Washington’s roads, nearly 90 percent of those same drivers said they did not think marijuana degraded their driving ability, despite research showing that driving while high doubles your chance of killing yourself or others in a crash. In fact, 25 percent of those respondents felt that driving while high made them a better driver. “It’s extremely troubling to me

consequences, a DUI arrest comes with heavy penalties. A DUI arrest carries up to a year in jail, a $5,000 fine and a loss of a driver’s license. DUI offenders also can be ordered to wear an electronic ankle bracelet. Many must install an ignition interlock device, which prevents a car from starting if the driver has been drinking. Defense attorney fees can cost as much as $10,000 and insurance rates can double. In Clallam County, the Port

Angeles and Sequim police departments, the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office and the Washington State Patrol will be teaming up and participating in the extra patrols, with the support of the Clallam County DUI Target Zero Task Force.

Arraignment scheduled after the New Year Sequim Gazette staff

More than one year after his arrest, charges were filed Dec. 1 against Sequim resident Elijah Robert Sanford for two alleged counts of vehicular assault reckless manner-aggravated circumstance and alleged vehicular assault reckless manner on

Nov. 24, 2013. Sanford is set to appear before Clallam County Superior Court at 9 a.m., Friday, Jan. 2, for his arraignment. Sanford, then 18 years old, was arrested on Nov. 24, 2013, following a car crash that resulted in serious injuries to Cailey Stipe, a then 15-year-old Sequim resident and Garrett Payton, a then 19-year-old from Port Angeles. The police report states that at a little before 2 a.m. Sanford was driving a Volk-

swagen Golf eastbound on Heuhslein Road. As the car approached Spring Road, Sanford lost control of the vehicle and after leaving the road, the vehicle rolled several times. Sanford was found with marijuana and admitted to drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana earlier that night. He volunteered to provide a breath sample, which showed a 0.055 blood alcohol concentration. The Washington limit is 0.08.

Sanford was booked into Clallam County jail for driving under the influence as a minor, possession of marijuana, reckless driving and two counts of vehicular assault. He was released without bail and was ordered to appear in Superior Court on Dec. 2, 2013, to be charged, but Deputy Prosecuting Attorney John Trobert declined to file formal charges at the time, saying the “state will let law enforcement complete their investigation before making a charging decision on this potential vehicular assault case.” Per count Sanford faces a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment and/or $20,000 fine.

ments from cadet airman to cadet colonel by completing training in aerospace education, physical fitness, leadership and character. “The Civil Air Patrol cadet program is an excellent way for teens to get involved in aviation and prepare for education or careers involving high technology,” Stewart said. “For many, it’s the best way for parents to encourage their kids’ interests in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).” Male and female teens, ages 12-18, are encouraged to visit the squadron, which meets Tuesdays from 6-8 p.m. in the Sequim Middle School cafeteria. The group recently moved to Sequim from facilities in Port Angeles and adopted its new name, the Dungeness Squadron. The squadron also seeks prospective adult officers, known as seniors, who are interested in the Civil Air Patrol’s three missions of aerospace education, the cadet program and emergency services.

The Alzheimer’s Disease Working Group seeks public feedback and advice on how to improve the lives of people with dementiarelated diseases. The group invites the public to complete a brief online survey at http://tinyurl.com/WAStateAlzheimersPlan. Results will help craft a state plan to address Alzheimer’s disease. The working group encourages people impacted by memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, including older adults; friends and family members; family caregivers or care partners; paid or volunteer social service, health or long-term care workers; and advocates to participate in the survey. Learn more about the Alzheimer’s Disease Working Group at www.altsa.dshs.

Steve Tharinger (D-Dungeness) released the following statement requesting public feedback on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementiarelated diseases. “In 2013, Washington state had the highest mortalTHARINGER ity rate for Alzheimer’s disease in the United States and that rate is continuing to climb throughout the country,” State Rep. Steve Tharinger (D-Dungeness) said in a statement requesting public feedback on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia-related diseases. “This past year, Gov. Inslee and the Leg-

islature passed SB 6124, which authorized the development of an Alzheimer’s Disease Plan for Washington,” he said. “For the past year I have worked with the Alzheimer’s Diseases Working Group which directed staff to create a survey to help the state determine what we can do to assist those diagnosed with these diseases. We need the public’s input by the end of December in order to have the best recommendations possible.” The workgroup is part of the Department of Social and Health Services’ system of long-term services and support programs designed to help people who are vulnerable stay in their local communities, with family members and in their own homes. DSHS is nationally recognized for its innovative, long-term care programs and is ranked as second in the nation by AARP in long-term supports for older adults, people with disabilities and family caregivers.

Locke is leaving his position to become a co-medical director of the Jamestown Family Health Clinic in Sequim. In this new job, he will continue his work with the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe in developing and enforcing the tribe’s public health code and take on new duties for program development,

quality assurance and medical supervision of the clinic’s diverse services. Locke will share medic a l director responsibilities with Drs.

said Locke, “but it is now time to recruit and hire a new county health officer. I am excited about the opportunity to return to my roots in clinical medicine and focus on the many challenges that face our health care system in the 21st century.” Locke added, “The Jamestown Family Health Clinic has shown extraordinar y leadership in implementing the health care delivery model known as the ‘patient-centered medical home’ and expanding services to meet the primary care needs of Clallam County residents. “Fundamental reform of the health care delivery system is under way at a state and national

Clallam PUD’s planned engineering addition to its Carlsborg Operations Center is slated for completion in September along with a new headquarters and substation shop.

From page A-1 to customers. As an effort to reduce costs to local rate payers, Papandrew said the utility district anticipates raising rates at 3.5 percent annually with the difference between Bonneville and the utility district’s imposed increases it’ll dip into the utility district’s reserves about $2 million through projected rates in 2019. At this time, the utility district keeps a policy of at least $19 million in reserves, he said, in case of an emergency like a natural disaster. With water and sewer rates, utility district officials anticipate an annual increase of 6 percent for both due to aging infrastructure. Papandrew said the water and sewer utilities don’t have the abil-

ity to pay for improvements themselves so expenses are absorbed through customer rates. “We’re seeing a need for a lot of capital improvements,” he said. These rate increases are included in the utility district’s approved 2015 operating budget of $58 million, which includes about $25,589,000 for purchasing power and about $17,865,000 for operations and maintenance. Papandrew said the utility district plans to sell about 0.6 percent more utility services in 2015 and officials are anticipating more costs coming in the years to come from the Washington Energy Independence Act. In 2015, the utility district will pay about $200,000 or renewable energy credits, Papandrew said, and he estimates about $177,000 in 2016, $359,000 in

2017 and $503,000 in 2018. He said the utility district also will offset these costs through the proposed annual increases.

The latest estimate puts the project at $14.2 million for 43,000 square feet for the headquarters, a substation shop and an engineering addition to the Carlsborg Operations Center. Mike Howe, utility district communications and government relations manager, said the costs include design, site development and construction costs with a tentative completion date planned for September and a projected move-in of October. The utility district sold $14.225 million worth of bonds on Oct. 14 for the project and other infrastructure needs. Utility district staff said the new buildings centralize the agency to more of its customers and replaces aging

Wesley Short Jr.

September 3, 1923 – December 12, 2014

Wesley “Wes” Potter Short Jr. passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Sequim, Washington, on December 12, 2014, at the age of 91. Wes was born September 3, 1923, in Burbank, California. He married Margaret Alice Benest in 1950 and had three boys. Wes served in the Navy from 1943 to 1951. Service included WWII duty with 1st Cavalry and two years of that were in the South Pacific (Bismarck Archipelago) as a Signalman; then other ships and stations ending up on a destroyer. After serving, Wes and Margaret returned to California and fire fighting, living in Burbank, Downey, and Tulare. In 1977 they relocated to Snohomish County, Washington. His fire service included Fire Chief of Snohomish Co. Fire District 1 and all other areas of fire service such as Fire Investigation, Prevention, Ladder trucks, etc. In 1986, after retiring, Wes and Margaret moved to Sequim. There Wes served on several committees at SPC, now Sequim Community Church, including Deacon, choir and choir president. Wes loved all music and enjoyed playing the trumpet. He also enjoyed spending time working in his yard. In 2002 Wes was elected Clallam County Fire Commissioner for District #3, and served a six year term. Wes joined the Masons in 1963 and had just celebrated 51 years of membership. He was part of numerous other community organizations including Kiwanis International and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. One of his favorite activities was having breakfast every Wednesday with “The Old Farts Club,” (fellow vets). Sharing memories, war stories and keeping our history alive, was very valuable to him. We will miss him greatly and he will be forever in our hearts. Surviving him are his beloved wife of 64 years, Margaret; one sister, Norma Jean Greppen of Simi Valley, California; sons, David (Jill ) of Fortuna, California, Mike (Novlina) of Everett, Washington, and Philip (Mary) of Seattle, Washington; grand daughters Sara and Rebecca; great-grandchildren Rachael, Joel and Titus.

Gifts may be made to the Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County, 540 E. 8th Street, Port Angeles, WA 98362.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR City shouldn’t be in bailout business

The city of Sequim has no business leasing property from Mr. Fairclough to resolve his financial problems. He purchased the homes as an investment and the results have been unfortunate. The deteriorated condition of the units and the problems with noise and damage are Mr. Fairclough’s responsibility. If the problems are serious enough, the city should order the owner to resolve the issues and if he declines, condemnation proceeding should be started. The owner already has declined an exorbitant offer, and if the property is condemned, the owner should receive fair payment corresponding to similar lots in the area, less costs to demolish the units. The “out of the box solution” is really much like bailing out Wall Street with taxpayers’ money. (City manager Steve) Burkett’s problem would go away, but Sequim taxpayers would be bailing out Mr. Fairclough’s bad business decisions. Gerald Carpenter Sequim

‘Global warning’ a false ideology

Al Gore did not invent “Global Warming,” but he provided a major lift to the false political dogma. The government brings its whole weight against those who prove it false. Those who strive for a one-party, statecontrolled, totalitarian nation, a “People’s Republic” were encouraged by the excuse to nationalize Education for the young and impressionable. The goal of most of these Statists includes neither the People as having any say, nor is it planned to be a Republic in the sense of being governed by elected rather than ruled by a self-anointed dictator, as Obama is striving to be. But clearly that is the goal of ultra-liberals. And “Global Warning” became their watchword. With their unquestioned control of air, water and the sources of all power that man depends upon. And, of course, including control of Health and Welfare. The lack of true government support for manmade global warming is instead now referred to as “Climate Change” (the natural cyclical cooling and warming throughout the Earth’s life) continuing to use it for the $22 billion annual costs of the false ideologic supported by the innocent and ignorant. None of this is possible without the compliant News Media performing as the propaganda machine in its Hitlerian role. Hiding, rather than exposing governmental abuses of power. Additionally, censorship is accomplished with careful selection of wording, such as Obama accomplishes so deftly, disguising real meaning and intent. Or the media downplaying or just ignoring the growing unlawful seizures of power, as often also does Congress. Paul Hanway Sequim

Ady Crosby and Neddy Dondup stand in front of the Temple of Apollo at the ancient Delphi site. Photo courtesy of Ady Crosby

Born and raised on the Olympic Peninsula, Ady Crosby is a local through and through. A 2008 Sequim High graduate, Crosby left the peninsula for Western Washington University where she studied history and social studies, earning a bachelor’s degree in 2013. She plans to be a high school teacher in those subjects, but, “I am not in a rush to make that happen,” she says. Currently she works at Starbucks and The Oak Table, only recently returning from a trip abroad. Instead of jumping into a career, Crosby and boyfriend Neddy Dondup, a Boise native she met at college, decided to save up for a year to go on a two-and-a-half-month trip to see the sights in Europe. The pair left Sept. 4 and saw the sights in 10 different countries before returning Nov. 17.

“Neddy and I had both wanted to travel.

His mom was a travel agent, so he’d done traveling. I just kind of wanted to go and I didn’t get a chance to study abroad at school. It just never worked out. After we graduated, we decided we’d go the next fall. We started to work our butts off and save up thousands of dollars to go spend it all in two and a half months … though the time

(we’d spend there) was very open-ended. We weren’t really sure what we were doing, but we were going to go. We bought a one-way ticket to Ireland. We had a friend living there, so that was kind of our jumping-off point — which is also a good transition, because they speak English. We knew we wanted to fly into Ireland because it’s cheapest to fly into Ireland, and it’s cheapest to fly out of Paris. So we kind of did a circle. We kind of just winged it. We bought a couple of big-ticket items ahead of time but basically we just kind of went around, met really cool people and saw lots of museums and sights. We went to Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Germany, Slovenia, Italy, Greece, Spain and France. I’m an ancient history buff and Greece has been my dream to visit. I was really excited about going to the site of Delphi in Greece. It’s about two hours to the west of Athens. It’s kind of this little hillside town and it’s really famous for the Temple of Apollo that was the political, cultural, social center of ancient Greece. It was said even Alexander the Great went there. People would get their oracle read, their futures decided. I’ve read about

I can imagine what you are thinking but I had not had any stimulant since my morning coffee and had yet to have a glass of wine. I admit to being impressionable but this is too much for even me. Sniffle, sigh, snort. “I am useless.” My unicorn illusion was talking! “Useless? Why, what do you mean?” I answered hoping no one was watching. Unicorn turned and his/her horn sagged a bit more. “I‘ve been retired to Sequim.”

From page A-10 it so long and I’ve seen pictures. I already knew the architectural site was going to be great but the actual town of Delphi is so beautiful. I was not expecting it to be that gorgeous. The Parthenon was also cool. I was like, ‘This is where Western Civilization stemmed from, essentially. How awesome!’ One of my highlights was Meteora, in Greece. There, the Greek Orthodox nuns and monks decided to build little monasteries on these rocks. They used to have rope ladders to get up there so no one could get up there. They just wanted to live their life in peace, do their monk thing. There are six monasteries left, all of them built in the 13th century. The monks and nuns are still living the same lifestyle. You can hike around — they still have all the monk trails. The sunsets in Greece are stupidly pretty. Slovenia reminded me a lot of Washington state. It has the Alps, it has the beach right there, it has forests and cities. It has this cool kind of Washington feel. Neddy had picked out some things he wanted to do. He’s a home brewer, so he’s really into

beer. He wanted to do Belgium and Germany and the Czech Republic. We went on a scavenger hunt to find this ‘Best Beer in the World’ in Belgium. It’s called Westvleteren. There’s a monastery that brews it in northeast Belgium. It’s very rare and you’re not supposed to resell it. We did finally find it. I think that was exciting for Neddy. We went to Octoberfest in Munich. You hear about those ladies with the giant beer steins … those things are huge. You have to hold it double-handed because it’s so heavy. We didn’t really get to explore Germany itself and I wish we would have had more time to explore. Next time we’ll do more. We went to a resistance museum in Amsterdam. That was one of my favorite museums (but) it was horrible and so upsetting. We read every single blurb or box, the stories of survivors. Neddy’s also a very analytical person so he just soaked up all the information. I enjoyed the museums, but two-and-a-half, three hours is enough for me. We were super fortunate with the weather, with only four days of rain. We ended up renting bikes. I’m not a biker, so that was a little scary for me. Neddy’s a really good biker so my confidence gained as

we went on. The language barriers weren’t so bad. In Greece there was a little more confusion because their alphabet is all so different. Sometimes we had moments of panic with buses and trains not showing up when they say they’re going to. The people in Europe were great. Irish people were the most welcoming. In France, we were kind of lost and trying to find our B-and-B, and this Parisian girl comes up and asks, ‘Can I help you?’ We never had any issues about being from the U.S. If I had to do anything different, I’d try to go off the beaten path more. Some of my favorite things were just wandering around, just seeing the people. It would be fun to live in Europe for an indefinite amount of time and I’m not done traveling.” Everyone has a story and now they have a place to tell it.

“And … ” I urged, “how does that work for a unicorn?” “I don’t know, I thought we lived forever in the magic land of children who play and dream.” “Can’t you still be that? I don’t understand.” “In Sequim?!” “Well, sure. I saw a child at Walmart just two weeks ago,” I teased.

We all had to move and I landed here.” “Oh, right, I read about it,” I said, feeling glad that Unicorn landed in our yard

it can demonstrate results in its selected cause. There are many avenues for charitable giving: cash, check, credit card, online fundraising, traditional year-end mail appeals.

donor relations. We also strive to strengthen local nonprofits with leadership and sector-specific training programs to increase the collective community impact of donor dollars on services rendered. It’s no small task. Right here in Clallam County, well over 100 nonprofit organizations exist to improve our collective quality of life with a combined value of more than $90 million.

If one is poised to give, but needs help establishing philanthropic goals or identifying nonprofit organizations that might help one meet those goals, OVCF is here to help. A useful rule of thumb is to select two or three areas of giving, such as human services, environmental conservation and the arts. Depending on the amount of money one has budgeted to donate, identify one or more nonprofits that fall into each category. Make sure the nonprofit is a recognized 501(c)3 with which one is familiar and that

you’d like to blame anyone for ‘why these words,’ then you can lay the blame on my Introduction to Theatre course this fall, a merry bunch of jolly lads and lasses. So, dip that pen in some ink and start writing.” Of course, there always is some “fine print” one needs to read and in this case it is the submission guidelines. Scripts should be 10 typedand-numbered pages with your name and return address on the first page. And the three key words or phrases — Canada, a candle and Rick Flare the wrestler — must be tucked somewhere into the script. Starcevich says the reason the festival is held each year is to encourage people to push their own limits and discover their potential. “ T here a re so m a ny amazing writers out there,” she says, and she encourages anyone who is interested to submit their work, including “those who are already familiar with the craft of playwriting as well as those who just love to write but may not realize that their talent could be put to wonderful use in the theater as well. “We hope to attract more and more folks to the art of playwriting and play production with each new festival,” Starcevich says.

The 1971 G-rated movie is an uplifting adventure that will warm your heart and leave the entire family with a smile. On Feb. 7 at 2 p.m., Family Flicks continue with a showing of the 1963 G-rated film “The Incredible Journey.” This 1963 live-action Walt Disney production is based on the eponymous novel by Sheila Burnford. Filmed in Ontario, Canada, the film follows the adventure of three pets — Luath the Labrador retriever, Bodger the bull terrier, and Tao the Siamese cat — as they journey 250 miles through the Canadian wilderness to find their way home. Family Flicks will bring “Toy Story 3” to the screen on March 7 at 2 p.m. In the latest chapter of the popular toys-cometo-life saga, Woody, Buzz Lightyear and their friends attempt to escape from the dismal Sunnyside Daycare Center, where the toys are held prisoner by a pink, strawberry-scented teddy bear. Offered the first Saturday of each month through May, Family Flicks provides family entertainment, popcorn and fun movie trivia at an affordable price — free! For more information about this and other family programs, contact the Sequim Library at 683-1161, visit the library website at www.nols.org, or send an e-mail to youth@nols.org.

Poetry competition opens for all ages Event dedicated to poet, professor Fisher

Rainshadow Poetry Competition 2015

In an effort to bring a tradition of National Poetry Month to Sequim, two local poets look to start a poetry competition this April. Ruth Marcus and Judy Duncan plan the Rainshadow Poetry Competition 2015 with winners doing a live reading at Olympic Theatre Arts, 414 N. Sequim Ave., at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 26. While the event may be months ahead, organizers have set deadlines for both children and adults due Jan. 23 with selected winners being published in a poetry book. “(We hope) it’ll become an annual event,” Marcus said. “We want to inspire people to write and read poetry. There are so many diverse styles of poetry that we want to help inspire people find what inspires them.” Marcus said her group borrows its model from Bainbridge Island’s competition that’s been going since the mid-1990s. “This is a wonderful collaborative community concept,” she said. “(Olympic Theatre Arts) has been willing to host our reading and be our nonprofit sponsor so donations are tax deductible and (the North Olympic Library System) agreed to host our poetry workshops.” The competition is dedicated to the

memory of Sequim’s late Jim Fisher, who was a well-known poet and professor at Peninsula College. “Jim was an advocate for all writers – poetry or prose,” Marcus said. “To dedicate this to him really is something that speaks to Jim for who he is in this community. He inspired a lot of students FISHER at the college and in the writer’s groups.” The competition is open to people of all ages in Clallam and Jefferson Counties and will be judged in children and adult categories. Marcus said she hopes for 64 entries to go in the published book that will go to winning entries. Judging will be blind from four jurors including Tim McNulty, Sarah Zale and others to be announced. Entries cost $5 for students, $10 for adults and $7 for seniors 65 and up. Each entry can include up to three poems and

Trojans trump Wolves for lead in Olympic League Sequim Gazette staff

Olympic’s Trojans snapped Sequim’s four-game win streak and earned a win on the Wolves’ home court on Dec. 19 to take an early lead in the Olympic League standings. Trojan Makaleb McInnis snapped a 46-46 tie with a score to spur an Olympic 8-2 as the road squad upended the Wolves, 56-48. Sequim (2-1 in Olympic League play, 5-2 overall) had a 24-21 lead at halftime. Jumier Johnson and Keshun McGee led Olympic with 14 points each.

Upperclassmen help Wolves battle Bulldogs Junior varsity team showing promise by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

While the score may not show it in the recent 58-18 home loss to the North Mason Bulldogs on Dec. 16, some Sequim wrestlers continue to shine on the mats. Kevyn Ward (152 pounds) and Michael Latimer (220) took home wins with Ward pinning Jackson Odette in 4:36 while Latimer won in overtime. He was locked in a 4-4 tie with Connor Lundberg until a takedown gave him the 6-4 win. Sven Wiker, 145 pounds, also earned a win with a pin in 1:36 over Eugene Macero. Freshman Ben Newell (113) fought his way to an 11-10 decision over Cruz Pedro-Alonzo. He was up 5-0 at the end of the first period, 7-4 at the end of the second and had a reversal in the finals seconds for the win. Coach Charles Drabek said many of their weight classes are filled with freshmen and sophomores still learning the ropes while Latimer and Ward are the only tenured boys varsity wrestlers. “Kevyn is getting his confidence at 152 pounds,” Drabek said. “He’s considering going down a weight class but I think he can hang with these guys. In the postseason we’ll see where he’s at.”

While the Wolves may lack a lot of experience, their junior varsity squad stepped up big with several wins and pins against the Bulldogs. Moving up the weight classes, Levi Foy (106) pinned Dalton Emerick in 43 seconds, Sophia Cornell (113) pinned Jacob Morre in 1:55, Jillian Hutchinson-Blouin (120) won in a major decision 11-1 over Skylar Cone, AJ Avila (132) pinned Chase Evans in 33 seconds and Kelvin Solis-Vilasenor (220) pinned

Trojans, Bucs overpower Wolves Sequim Gazette staff

The Lady Wolves started last week with a lopsided win over the Port Townsend Redhawks on Dec. 15. Jordan Miller led their attack with 14 points while Adrienne Haggerty had 13 and eight rebounds in the 61-24 win. Sequim never trailed as they went up 18-13 at the end of one and the Bucs couldn’t recover, scoring only three, four and four per quarter. Nine Wolves scored a bucket including McKenzie Bentz with three points and six steals and Ella Christiansen with six points and eight boards. The Kingston Buccaneers came to Sequim on Dec. 17 to outshoot the Wolves in a 61-35 win. Head coach Evan Still said the Bucs shot extremely well and Sequim’s girls didn’t do a good job

When decorated men’s soccer coach Andrew Chapman left Peninsula College in July, Peninsula College staff already were in the midst of recruiting players for the fall. Not wanting to put forth a national search for a new men’s coach at the same time, P.C. officials had Kanyon Anderson, the Pirates’ women’s coach, lead both clubs this fall. That one-season arrangement is about to close. The college is actively seeking a new men’s head coach position with an initial application closing date of Jan. 12 and goal of filling the position by Feb. 1, according to Rick Ross, Director of Athletics and Student Programs. “It was by far the best scenario to keep stability to the program,” Ross said of Anderson’s dual role. “He knows all the guys. Kanyon went above and beyond. (We said) we’ll get through the season. He did a great job and worked really hard with both programs.” In 2013, both squads won Northwest Athletic Asso- ANDERSON ciation of Community College titles and followed that up with a pair of playoff appearances under Anderson, with the men’s team advancing to the quarterfinals and the women taking second place. Anderson, an English instructor at P.C., will remain at the college and return to his role as head coach of the women’s Pirate program — one that’s captured four top-two finishes in the NWAC playoffs in five years of existence. Peninsula men’s team finished 2014 with a record of 13-2 with four ties, eventually bowing out in the quarterfinals. The women’s team went 19-2-2 and was the NWAC title runner-up squad. Both teams won West Division titles, the men for the sixth straight year and the women for the fourth straight year. One of the challenges for Anderson last season, Ross noted, was an uneven number of men’s and women’s soccer teams in the NWAC having P.C.’s men headed to a game in one locale and the women to another in a short time span. That kind of situation included last season’s NWAC playoffs, with the men playing in Idaho on a Saturday and the women playing in Port Angeles the following day. “We felt like it was necessary to have a head coach overseeing (the men’s) program,” Ross said. The job is posted online at NCAA and NWAC sites. It’s a half-time head coach position and half-time teaching position at the college. While that eliminates some potential candidates, Ross said P.C.’s reputation — both squads have earned national rankings in the past two seasons — should lead the college to strong candidates. “That really helps us — we’re going to be able to land a pretty great coach because we’re a nationally ranked soccer program,” Ross said. “I suspect we’ll have a pretty full field (of candidates),” he said. “We already are getting a pretty high volume of calls.” One of the key aspects the college athletic staff will be looking for in a new men’s head coach is an ability to recruit off the Olympic Peninsula,” Ross said. “We have to be able to recruit the entire West Coast in order to be competitive in the NWAC,” he said. “That will be one of the drivers.” Other aspects the P.C. staff is looking for is the ability to develop young talent and an eagerness to adapt to Peninsula College life. “We want some one who really wants to be here,” Ross said. “We’ve been able to land that with our previous hires.” While the search is on, Ross named assistant coach Omar Anderson to serve as interim coach to continue to train the team during Winter Quarter. He also will lead the men’s recruiting effort, Ross said. “Omar is an outstanding young coach and certainly would have been considered for the opening, but the instructional component requires teaching credentials,” Ross said. Chapman left Peninsula College to pursue a career in soccer recruiting at Custom College Recruiting in Elizabethtown, Ky., after 11 years and back-to-back NWAC titles CHAPMAN at P.C. He was an associate faculty member who taught predominantly physical education courses.

Wolves KO Kingston No road woes here. Sequim’s Wolves jumped out to an eight-point lead by halftime and used suffocating defense to hold Kingston to just two points in a 59-40 win Dec. 17 in Kingston. Bailey Earley scored 19 points, Barry had 14 points and six assists, and Dustin Bates sank a pair of 3-pointers en route to 10 points as Sequim locked down its second Olympic League win of the season. Sequim outscored Kingston 16-12 in the first quarter and 15-11 in the second before a 9-2 run in the third quarter sealed the win. Barry led the defensive effort with nine rebounds, six steals and two blocks. McConnaughey had nine rebounds and Earley added eight boards and a block. Liam Young led Kingston with 11 points.

WINTER HOURS:

Despite having just seven athletes in the pool, Sequim’s boys swimming squad found some silver linings in their 115-50 loss to the Olympic Trojans on Jan. 18. Senior Er ic P rosser trimmed his season’s best marks in the 100 backstroke and 100 fly events, earning first and second in those events, and continues to close in on postseason-qualifying marks. Wendall Lorenzen cut 10 seconds off his best time in the 200 free (2:41) to take third in the event and a full 14 seconds off his previous best in the 100 free (1:13). Andrew Hansted snagged

third place in his first try at the 100 breaststroke with a 1:39 finish. “He’s a natural,” Sequim coach Linda Moats said. “With training and hard work, he might be able to qualify for districts this year.” Sequim’s 400 free relay team — Eric and Charlie Prosser, Lorenzen and Brandon Grow — posted their best time this season with what Moats called solid swims for all legs. Eric Prosser capped the effort with a 55-second anchor leg. The Wolves (0-3) are out of the pool until Jan. 7, when they host the North Kitsap Vikings (2-1) and Jan. 15 when they host Klahowya Eagles (0-1).

History Comes Alive

SEQUIM HIGH SCHOOL Robotics Club, under Brad Moore, teacher and club advisor, is an extension of the Career Technical Education (CTE) program and receives the benefit of several experienced volunteer mentors and community sponsorship. In early November, the club was very excited to receive $1,200 from the Sequim PC Users group. This will be applied to the amount needed to participate in the Seattle competition, which can run $10,000-$15,000. Senior Sarah Henry serves as club president and junior Ryle Lindbergh is vice president. (See story, B-7) Robotics Club students are practicing for upcoming competition after school by dismantling last year’s robot and reassembling it. Club members will find out on Jan. 2 the task set for competition and will then have about six weeks to build the robot.

Teaching independence As a parent, one of your most important goals is to raise children who become independent and selfreliant people. Certainly as babies, your child relies on you. As your child grows and becomes more independent, he still depends on you for love, protection, guidance and support. As your child reaches adolescence and moves toward adulthood, he become less dependent on you and gains greater independence in all aspects of his life. The role you have as a parent is to help him learn in more and more ways to become an independent person. A child isn’t able to become independent on her own. She doesn’t have the experience or skill without your help. Independence is a gift you give her that will benefit her the rest of her life. As a parent, you provide your child with essential ingredients for gaining independence: • The first ingredient is to give your child love and respect. This gives him the confidence to move ahead. • Then show confidence in his abilities so he will gain confidence in them, too. • Teach him that he has control and responsibility over his life. • Provide him guidance and then give him the freedom to make their own decisions. So how do you do all of this? When is the best age to begin

Parenting Matters Cynthia Martin

to teach your child independence and how do you teach it? While each child is different, all children should begin to be taught independence lessons before they enter kindergarten. These lessons begin with asking if your little one wants eggs or cereal for breakfast. Independence is being taught when you ask which book she wants the two of you to read together. Each time she is allowed to make her choice she is asserting her independence. This is the independence she will ultimately need to find the competence and security to explore the world. As he grows older, give him chores to help him develop his ability to do things well and to do them independently. Let him make his bed each day or make his lunch to take to school. Even letting him make is own choice about what to wear is developing his independence. These are ways to learn to be on your own but to do it responsibly.

Sunday Service & Childcare 10:30

As she grows into adolescence her independence grows significantly. When she is driving, she is on her own. All the skills you have been working on over the years is put to work. This is the time you fill in the gaps that you hadn’t done earlier. Here are some basic tips on guiding your kids to be progressively independent. • Provide Opportunities — It is important that parents provide opportunities for their child to practice independence and even improve their decision-making skills. When you pick out your own food for your lunch you soon learn to take responsibility for the decisions you made. • Show How to Make Decisions — Parents and adults should allow a child to make decisions by giving him choices. This will help him learn how to make tougher decisions as he grows older. Of course, the choices should begin early and be little choices. As your child grows, so does the choices he is allowed to make. • Boost Child’s Confidence – Parents need to boost the morale and confidence of their child so the child is confident to make decisions and to face the challenges in life. A younger child can be very clingy. As she grows, parents can help decrease this clinginess by helping boost her confidence. Look for what

your child does well and talk about it so she hears what you are saying. • Model Independence – Children look up to their parents even when they aren’t doing things the way they should. Good and bad parents all set examples. Let your child see good examples of independence. • Praise Your Child – Almost every child feels happy if he receives praise for what he does. Each time your child accomplishes something, praise him and let him know how good it is that he has done something so worthwhile. This motivates him to do better and learn to be increasingly independent. • Develop Problem Solving Skills – As your child develops problem skills her confidence increases and her self-esteem grows. So start today. No matter what has happened, make a point of improving on your child’s independence. Make sure you are providing the opportunities for your child to gain confidence which is an underlying trait of independence. You need to help. You are essential. Help him or her be ready for the “real world” and to find a sense of competence, security and independence within themselves.
