The phrase “man’s best friend” has long been associated with dogs – alluding to the loyalty, companionship and closeness universally shared be-
tween mankind and dogs throughout history. A person can own a dog for a variety of reasons … hunting, protection, work-related or simply for friendship, but regardless the reasoning or the ever-evolving cultural trends, dogs continue to be a facet of the world and fulfill societal roles reaching far beyond mere coexistence. However, as pivotal as dogs have be-
come, there are many that have fallen between the cracks of society or haven’t found a home to call their own. To combat the number of unwanted dogs and to ensure as many dogs as possible are given the opportunity to become a “man’s best friend,” individuals within the community temporarily care for dogs in limbo.

In 2014, Sequim’s newsmakers included the failure of a $154 million school construction bond, a fire that changed Sequim’s downtown landscape, breaking ground of a multi-million-dollar Civic Center and a legal fight over two city initiatives, a fake kidnapping that made news outlets across the region, an election that saw few yet significant changes, and a number of government agencies and community members trying to figure out what to do with legalized pot. Here, by month, are some of the highlights

From page A-1 “The board is very satisfied to have someone with lengthy experience continuing the agency’s success,” Brando Blore, board president, said. “The board was pleased to hire a local person and someone with such substantive experience with the agency and the community.” Leach has worked for Serenity House for 11 years and feels both “positive” and “honored” to be the nonprofit’s new executive director. During her time at Se-
renity House, Leach has gained ample experience and good working relationships with the variety of agencies partnering on the county’s Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness. Although the 10year window for the plan will draw to a close at the end of 2015, Leach and others will continue their work to provide the resources and support needed to combat homelessness. “I think Kathy Wahto has provided a wonderful structure for the Ten-Year Plan and for the agency. I think she’s been a great leader,”

Knights Give for Special Needs The Sequim Knights of Columbus out of St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church recently donated nearly $1,800 to local charities specializing in people with special needs. Following their annual “Tootsie Roll” fundraiser at the Sequim Walmart, the club of 80-plus men this year chose to donate to Clallam Mosaic, the Clallam County Special Olympics and the Washington State Special Olympics. On Dec. 23, Fritz Field, fundraiser chairman, hands a check to Russ Bonham with Special Olympics while Bill Wheeler presents another check to Priya Jayadev, executive director of Mosaic, at Walmart with their leadership team on hand for the presentation. The Knights of Columbus, a fraternal organization of Catholic men, conducts a variety of fundraisers annually and Sequim’s council has donated more than $20,000 to local charities and provided nearly 7,900 service hours. Their next “Tootsie Roll” fundraiser is Oct. 3-4, 2015, at Walmart.

Leach said. “As we near the completion of the plan, we’ll be finalizing services for certain populations and narrowing our focus.” Throughout the past nine years the plan has helped
guide the ongoing data collection and development of the infrastructure needed to end homelessness, but in its last year, Leach foresees a emphasis on ensuring both emergency and permanent affordable housing options are available and services are in place to stabilize homeless individuals or those at risk sooner. “One of the responsibilities of this position is to keep the momentum of the plan going and that’s one of the reasons I pursued the position because I knew I could do that,” Leach said.

youth-at-risk of becoming homeless are a certain population Leach hopes to further focus on, she said. Early, proactive intervention and education to provide both the skills and tools to those that have potentially never experienced a stable housing environment will help get to the root of homelessness, Leach explained. Through agency collaboration countywide and with Wahto’s leadership, within Clallam County 59 unsheltered individuals were documented as compared to 203 in 2006, according to the most recent point-in-time survey. The annual surveys provide a trend line for Serenity House officials and primarily represents individuals outside HMIS (Homeless
Management Information System) that are really the most vulnerable, Wahto said. Overall, since the first point-in-time survey in 2003 the county has experienced about a 87-percent reduction in unsheltered individuals. “I feel like we’ve accomplished a lot and it’s a strong time for the agency with a lot of senior staff,” Wahto said. “I am very pleased Kim will move into this position.” While Leach continues to fight homelessness in Clallam County, Wahto will remain semi-active within the field herself and has plans to consult with Grays Harbor officials on a similar plan.

Clallam County Fire District 3 reports no one was injured in a house fire on J Shea Way on Dec. 22. Sequim Gazette photo by Matthew Nash
Sequim Gazette staff
Fire crews reported to a two-story house fire Monday, Dec. 22, off Shore Road that displaced a family of seven. No injuries were reported in the fire that was reported to 9-1-1 at 5:09 p.m. Dec. 22 at 112 J Shea Way. Firefighters first reported to the scene at 5:18 p.m. Fire Chief Steve Vogel for Clallam County Fire District 3 said the cause of the fire
appears to be from an electrical source or sources, but that the fire remains under investigation. The fire did start in the garage, he said, and extended to an addition above it. “(Firefighters) were able to pull down sheetrock in other rooms to make sure it didn’t spread,” Vogel said. “There’s heavy smoke and fire damage and it’s not livable right now.” The garage is totaled and fire district officials have

not determined if the house is uninhabitable, Vogel said, but noted the family did have fire insurance. Officials with the American Red Cross Olympic Peninsula Chapter said the family was able to save their Christmas presents from any damage. Firefighters cleared the scene at 9:13 p.m., Vogel said. Clallam County Fire District 2 was contacted for mutual aid but it was called off.

Juicing talk at Nash’s Ring in the new year with an exciting and inspiring talk on how to maintain optimum health in 2015.

Newer bulky models may not fit in area’s modular homes BY PATRICIA MORRISON COATE Sequim Gazette
If you own a standard water heater that’s at least 10 years old, you might want to start a dedicated savings account to pay for your next one. That’s because mandatory sweeping changes in the water heating industry take effect on April 16, 2015. Standard water heaters are being phased out to be replaced in the market by bigger, bulkier, more energy-efficient tanks and/or heat pumps. Owner Judy Kimler and manager Karen Lewis of Bill’s Plumbing & Sanikan have been learning as much as they can about the Department of Energy’s mandate through the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act to pass along the ramifications to their customers and the general public. “By April 16, companies will no longer make standard water heaters. They will be high-efficiency models,” Lewis said. “It will be an issue for modular homes with water heaters in closets or other tight spaces because the new 50-gallon water heaters will be two inches taller and two inches larger in diameter and there will be people who won’t have the room to get a new one.” “Two inches is a big deal because modular homes can only fit a 19-inch diameter water heater,” Kimler said. “A lot of people will have to go down in size (capacity) or remodel and 19 inches is our most popular model by far.” Kimler added that standard 65-gallon and 80-gallon water heaters will disappear from the market completely

and homeowners who need these large capacity units will have to invest considerably more — perhaps triple — in a heat pump water heater. “Anything 20-55 gallons will be required to be highenergy efficient; 50 gallons and below you’ll still be able to get in an energy-efficient water heater,” Lewis said. “The issue is having to resize it or remodel and the costs. Heat pumps need to be in a 10-foot by 10-foot room and they’re huge — 6.5 feet tall and 26 inches in diameter, so the cost of installation is considerably more because they’re so heavy. “A typical installation is $1,300 for a standard 80-gallon but with a heat
pump, an 80-gallon could be $2,500 just for the heat pump unit itself.” The women said their four suppliers haven’t told them yet what their wholesale prices will be. “We’re trying to bring in a good supply of standard water heaters to accommodate our customers but suppliers are only selling what’s left in their inventory, so they’re becoming hard to find. How many is enough?” Lewis shrugged. They’ve also not been assured that a high-efficiency 40-gallon will fit in the space of a standard 50-gallon tank. Kimler and Lewis stressed that they’re not against higher efficiency in water
heaters — the electric ones are touted as saving $300 annually on electric bills — it’s the additional cost to relocate/remodel, downsize in capacity or purchase a much more expensive heat pump unit that concerns them for their customers. “We’re working up an advertisement to be put in local newspapers to warn the general public about these changes,” Kimler said. If you have questions, call Bill’s Plumbing & Sanikan at 683-7996, or contact another plumbing contractor. Tankless water heater owners are in the clear because those units already meet the energy-efficiency requirements.

basic obedience, good house behavior, play with and socialize them. One of the most challenging aspects of raising a guide-dog-to-be is the public education component, Cox said. Oftentimes, when socializing the puppies in public people want to come and pet the puppies, but they shouldn’t be petted if they’re wearing a jacket denoting they’re in training. “If they’re wearing a jacket, then they’re working,” Cox said. “The whole idea of the jacket is it will correspond with the harness the dog will wear once they’re a guide.” Cox has attended a number of graduations herself and has had one of the puppies she raised go onto become a guide and another a K-9 buddy. “It’s totally incredible the way these dogs change people’s lives,” Cox said. “They allow them to become independent and do things they couldn’t or wouldn’t normally do. I have personal friends that have guide dogs and it’s amazing they way their lives are changed.”

Welfare for Animals Guild, a local nonprofit, does its part within the county by finding and supporting foster owners for rescued dogs. Although earlier this year officials with WAG purchased the former plant nursery at 751 McComb Road with plans to convert it into a home base, the guild will continue to rely on foster homes until the property is fully converted. However, even after Half-Way Home Ranch is operational, WAG officials said they intend to keep their foster program active. “Basically a foster supplies Barb Brabant, WAG board member, sits with only some of the dogs the love and the home,” Mary that call her house home.

Richard “Dick” McClammy III passed away at his Sequim home November 18, 2014. He was born November 15, 1929 in San Diego, California. to Richard and Fern McClammy. He lived there until leaving for Aurora College in 1948 where he met and married
Mary Lou Ferrier. He joined the New York Life Insurance Company in 1953 and earned a Chartered Life Underwriter degree as well as a Chartered Financial Consultant degree. After retiring in 1983, as General Manager of the Spokane office, he and Mary Lou purchased a ranch in Baker, Oregon. In addition to cattle, they started a small business selling products to truck stops. In 1994 they moved to Goldendale, Washington to expand their business nationwide. He served for several years as a volunteer lobbyist in Washington D.C. working on behalf of the trucking industry. The business was sold in 1999 and in 2007 they moved to Sequim, Washington. Dick loved nature, gardening and working in the yard. He is survived by his loving, devoted wife Mary Lou and four children; Patricia Luman, Margaret Parry, Dr Thomas McClammy and Joanne Larson as well as eleven grandchildren and twenty-two great grand-children. His wife and children were the main focus of his life. He will be greatly missed. Memorial contributions can me made in his honor to Cowboys Against Cancer, 1893 Dewar Drive, Rock Springs, WY 82901.
takes with him so Sherman is paving the way for me as a handler.” When Hergert first got Sherman it took a lot of time to build the trust the two now have. Hergert had to learn to trust Sherman when crossing the street or walking through town. But since then, the two have developed a relationship like no other and Hergert puts his safety in
Sherman without hesitation. With some consistent training, Hergert even has taught Sherman how to find garbage cans and ATMs. “The best part of having Sherman is I basically have my best friend with me everywhere I go,” Hergert said while reaching down his left side where Sherman’s nose quickly met his hand. “He’s my eyes.”

From page A-1 The Olympic Medical Center Foundation came under the public’s eye after donors and a former staff member alleged declining revenue at events and excessive overhead expenses. A Gazette investigation revealed the foundation’s events such as the Sonny Sixkiller Golf Tournament and Duck Derby were netting less. The golf tournament grossed nearly $90,000 in 2011 but netted about $8,000 while its 2012 net was about $4,500. Over a five-year span the foundation’s 990 reports show losses starting in 2008 ranging from $27,122 to $361,752 per year.

Because of a 15-percent new patient increase since the beginning of the year, the Jamestown Family Health Clinic announced it has to stop accepting new patients with the exception of Medicaid-insured patients. Clinic officials said they anticipated an increase of new patients with the onset of Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act effective January 2014, but they thought the patient increase would spread out over time. At least three houses were struck by lightning May 9, shortly after noon; fortunately no injuries were reported. In early May, representatives from the North Olympic Library System talked with Sequim School District board members about the possibility of a shared building with Sequim High School. Plans for a library expansion were shelved until at least 2015. An attic fire destroys Sequim Consignment Co. and the neighboring Baja Cantina Fresh Mexican Grill at 820 W. Washington St. on May 19. Employees from both businesses evacuated with one employee examined for smoke inhalation, but no major injuries were sustained. Washington Street was closed for about four hours and fire crews used 2 million gallons of water to extinguish the blaze. Nathaniel Olson, a 27-year-old Sequim man, was charged with second-degree murder in late May with an aggravated circumstance following the shooting of a Port Angeles man on May 22. Olson was arrested and booked at the Clallam County Correction Facility on suspicion of homicide. Clallam County Sheriff’s Office reports deputies responded to a disturbance at a home on Monroe Road east of Port Angeles, where they found Port Angeles resident Matthew Baker, 25, dead from OLSON an apparent gunshot wound. Ron Cameron, chief criminal deputy for the Sheriff’s Office, said that a birthday party was being held and Baker was alone in the living room with Olson, a Sequim High School 2005 graduate, when witnesses in the dining room area heard a single “pop.” Deputies found Baker on the floor dead with a gunshot to his chest, Cameron said, and that Olson was sitting in the room where the shot was fired with a semi-automatic handgun, a .45-caliber Sig Sauer 191, nearby. His trial is tentatively slated for May 11, 2015.

Of the total, 13 were approved, two were denied and two were withdrawn (one of the withdrawn conditional use permit applications, the applicant re-applied for a permit on the same property with a similar project scope and was approved). Sequim City councilors opted to enact and continue a moratorium preventing marijuana production, processing and sales including the city’s lone recreational salesperson, currently won in a lottery by Gardiner man David Halpern, from operating until the state Legislature meets in 2015 and tentatively makes a decision on merging medical and recreational marijuana sales.

The band announces the lineup change on its website on June 20. Emblem3’s concerts continued capping their 2014 tour with a show in Omaha, Neb., on Dec. 20. City officials and advocates get serious about a major revitalization effort to the Guy Cole Mini-Convention Center inside Carrie Blake Park, with about 25 dignitaries and residents attending a brainstorming session on June 26. A $750,000 remodeling project begins in November, with Sequim students with the North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center leading the early efforts.
July The board of commissioners of the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center (SARC), a community-owned facility, unanimously voted in mid-July to ask voters to approve a levy in February 2015. The six-year property tax levy of 12 cents or less per $1,000 of assessed valuation would generate a total of nearly $2.5 million. SARC Executive Director Scott Deschenes estimates the 26-year-old facility’s reserve funds will fall below $500,000 by the end of 2014. CJ White, a popular local teen who recently had turned 18, drowned July 19 in Lake Cushman while with family members at a reunion. Meredith Powell, 25, a former teacher with Sequim roots, pleaded guilty to three sex crimes charges on July 23. A Tacoma judge sentenced Powell to six months in jail in late August. Powell was facing up to five years for two counts of child rape in the third degree and one count of POWELL communication with a minor for immoral purposes in Pierce County Superior Court. Sequim area petitioners with the Freedom Foundation looked to put two propositions to City of Sequim voters. One, a proposition called “Collective Bargaining Transparency Act” would mandate the city to notify employees of its bargaining unit and the public prior to meetings between the city and the bargaining unit. The meetings also would be open to the public. The second proposition,

the “Collective Bargaining Protections Act,” provides collective bargaining protections by prohibiting inclusion of a union security clause, prohibits gifting of public funds for the benefit of City of Sequim unions and prohibits public work stoppages. The two initiatives were unanimously declined by Sequim city councilors in early September. Judge Erik Rohrer in Clallam County Superior Court denied the propositions go on the Nov. 4 ballot deeming it too late and he later sided with the City of Sequim to dismiss a suit by Susan Brautigam, a Sequim resident represented by the Freedom Foundation, saying the city was using its powers granted by the state Legislature to deny the propositions.

On Nov. 17, the Sequim School Board of directors vote to bring a $49 million school construction bond proposal to voters in early 2015, following April’s bond vote failure. The February 2015 plan would pay for land and the building of a new elementary school, adding four classrooms, a gym and service kitchen at Greywolf Elementary School, adding six science classrooms and band/choir rooms at Sequim High School and tearing down an unused portion of the Sequim Community School. The bond also would include a major renovation of the district’s base kitchen, fund renovations at Helen Haller Elementary School’s A and D buildings, renovate Sequim High School’s science classrooms into general education classrooms and convert a portion of the Sequim Community School that Olympic Peninsula Academy students use now into a district maintenance and warehouse building.
A Carlsborg man, Deeon Emilio Gonzales, 20, is arrested for allegedly trying to take his ex-girlfriend’s life with a knife on Sept. 20. He pled not guilty on Oct. 3 in Clallam County Superior Court.

Odds, ends, and a year to remember I don’t know about you, dear Gazette reader, but I’m not sure I’m ready for 2015. I’m still winded from a whirlwind 2014. Seems like, when we in the newsroom start collating the top stories from our quaint corner of the globe for our top stories of each year, we start out wondering, “Hey, did anything of any relevance happen?” and, days later, bleary-eyed and dazed from thumbing through stacks of newsprint, we realize, “My goodness. Yes, all that just happened. How did we survive the last 12 months?” I know a lot of folks have had a tough go in 2014 — the loss of a family member or friend, a business effort that turned Editor’s sour, a relationship that Corner fell apart — so I count myself fortunate to have Michael Dashiell had a blessed 2014. My own highlight was seeing my oldest stepdaughter Chelsea get married. While it wasn’t as involved as planning our own nuptials, my wife and I had plenty to do in the days and weeks leading up to the July 4 event in Spokane. By the time that special day arrived we were wondering if giving the prospective bride and groom a pair of airline tickets to Vegas wasn’t a better solution. In the end, things worked out. Chelsea and her beau, Logan Bridges, said their vows, no one tripped walking down the aisle, many an embarrassing dance at the reception was performed and, as of the end of 2014, everyone in the family is still speaking to each other. I consider that a big victory. Things calmed down here a bit at the Gazette — for the most part. We said so long to colleague Mark Couhig and welcomed new reporter Alana Linderoth early in the year, and reporter Matthew Nash and his wife welcomed baby Oliver into the world near the year’s end. In between, I hope we served you well with the stories and photos of the Sequim-Dungeness Valley. We’ll do our best to do exactly that in 2015. If not, you know where we are — up here in the Gazette tower. On to the randomness that is the editor’s desk:
Don’t forget about PFOA In the Dec. 17 edition, we inadvertently left out a key local, nonprofit group that cares for animals in a column by Cheryl Smith (“Giving for animals,” page A-8). The Peninsula Friends of Animals has been a major player in thousands of pet adoptions and more services since its inception in 2000. Danette Grady, executive director at PFOA, reminds us that the group has been able to help more than 12,000 people through the combination of adoptions, spay/neuter programs, food bank distributions and trap/neuter/return situations. Check out safehavenpfoa.org, call 452-0414 or e-mail to pfoa@olypen.com.
Kilmer’s bills On Dec. 16, U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer (D-Wash.) introduced a bill to reverse the tenfold increase in the amount of money donors can contribute to political parties. Kilmer’s legislation, the Close the Floodgates Act (HR 5887), would restore provisions that capped individual donor contributions for political parties at $97,200 per year. Over the course of a two-year election cycle, wealthy donors could send more than $1.5 million to a political party. “There is already too much money in our politics,” Kilmer says. In addition, President Obama signed into law a bill by Kilmer and Rep. Tom Cotton (D-Ark.) called The American Savings Promotion Act, one that allows more financial institutions to offer prize-linked savings accounts. Prizelinked savings accounts are innovative savings products that offer participants the chance to win cash prizes, sometimes known as “Save to Win” plans. The more participants save, the more chances they have to win prizes. Proponents of the bill say that people depositing into the accounts are strengthening their “safety net” and preparing themselves to meet future financial needs.
Trade ‘Beast’ for ‘Bertha’ Washington state’s Department of Transportation can’t catch a break. Seattle Tunnel Partners gave an estimate last week that fixing tunnel-boring machine Bertha will take an additional nine months on top of previous estimates — putting Seattle’s Highway 99 project opening back to August 2017. Am I the only one around here who sees the obvious solution? To have Marshawn Lynch create the tunnel himself? Turn the “Bertha” project into “Beast Mode.” Problem solved.
Sick, man … just sick The Washington State Department of Health is reminding folks that flu vaccinations can protect you during the holiday family gathering season. “Flu activity is increasing in Washington and is expected to continue to increase in the coming weeks,” state officials said last week. “Flu season typically peaks in the winter months when people spend more time indoors.” State health officials say that H3N2 flu viruses have been the most common type of flu circulating around the country and that seasons when H3N2 viruses are most common tend to be more severe with higher numbers of hospitalizations and deaths. The flu vaccine still offers protection against the well-matched strains and may provide some protection against the drifted strain, officials said. “We are still recommending that everyone 6 months and older get vaccinated this season,” said Washington State Health Officer Dr. Kathy Lofy. “Even if the vaccine may only provide partial protection against one flu virus, it can protect you against the other types.” Other people at higher risk include young children, pregnant women, people 65 and older and people with

Harvesting energy from sunlight What if there were a two-for-one sale on kilowatts? Your power bill would be cut in half — not a bad result for your monthly budget. Energy drives everything we produce and consume, and global energy consumption continues to grow year after year. The twofor-one image came to mind as I talked with Professor Jeanne McHale of Washington State University. McHale is a chemist who researches an alternative approach to making solar cells that produce electricity. “There’s no question we have a lot of solar energy that strikes the planet each day,” McHale told me. “It’s an often-quoted statistic that just one hour Rock Doc of sunlight all over the planet has enough Dr. E. Kristen Peters energy to give us what we need for a year.” The challenge is capturing that energy at economical rates. Traditional solar cells are made of expensive and high-tech ingredients. They work, but at a relatively high price and with negative environmental impacts. For some time now, scientists have been looking at an alternative version, called dye-sensitized solar cells. Most researchers use synthetic organic dyes or dyes containing an element called ruthenium. The McHale lab is one of the few using plant dyes. McHale studies pigments like betanin, one of the molecules that makes beets red. Betanin can be used in these alternative solar cells. Recently McHale and her team found a way to have each photon striking the betanin produce two electrons. certain chronic medical conditions. It takes about two weeks for the vaccine to fully protect against flu. Some children under the age of 9 may need two doses of flu vaccine. The Department of Health’s website (www. doh.wa.gov) is a good source for a healthy dose of information. The website’s online “vaccine finder” is a good tool for finding vaccine near you or call the Family Health Hotline at 800322-2588.
The mess behind ‘The Interview’ I’m not sure when a movie of such dubious distinction has caused so much international intrigue, but so it is with the Seth Rogan/ James Franco vehicle, “The Interview.” The film is about an assassination plot against the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un and it is widely believed that Sony Pictures suffered a cyberattack last month partly due to North Korea’s fury regarding the movie. Last week, Sony Pictures put out a list of about 300 theaters in nearly every state that planned to show the controversial comedy on Christmas Day and several dozen more starting Jan. 1. Further, there are talks to distribute “The Interview” for rental on YouTube and Google Play. While it may be a victory for the First Amendment and freedom of speech, I think most folks who watch a Seth Rogan movie will tell you in the end, everybody loses; see (or, rather, don’t see) “The Green Hornet.”
What we searched for Spiritual guidance? The meaning of life? The path of enlightenment? Nah. Instead, we used Google for more grim purposes. Among the top searches through the preeminent search
“This means we could double the electrical current of dye-sensitized solar cells,” McHale told me. One of the challenges for McHale is that a one-electron reaction occurs in parallel with the desired two-electron reaction, producing what chemists call a “free radical.” Those are highly reactive and damaging molecules. The free radicals in the dyesensitized solar cells damage the betanin. Currently McHale is working on what are called co-pigments — molecules that can be attached to betanin to make it more stable under the influence of free radicals. “The way I think of it is that we have a molecule that’s a model: one that can help us design better molecules that would produce two electrons per photon without the degradation problem,” McHale said. Calculations show that the maximum possible efficiency of dye-sensitized cells is about 30 percent. What’s been achieved so far is 13 percent. That doesn’t sound too good until you learn that plants — in their process of photosynthesis — have an efficiency of about 1 percent. “The joke is that if plants went to the government for funding, they would never be awarded a grant,” McHale said. Although I’m a geologist who spent part of her early career studying the geology of fossil fuels, I think that securing more of our energy needs through solar power would be potentially good for the planet and a triumph of sophisticated science. Here’s wishing McHale’s lab the very best! Dr. E. Kirsten Peters, a native of the rural Northwest, was trained as a geologist at Princeton and Harvard. This column is a service of the College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences at Washington State University. engine were the death of Robin Williams (No. 1 overall), Ebola (No. 3) and missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 (No. 4). Sure, there were plenty of more lighthearted and heartwarming top searches. In Google’s annual round-up of the year’s top global searches, they found folks were interested in the exploits of their favorite teams at the World Cup (No. 2) and the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (No. 5). Also popular were the addictive smartphone game Flappy Bird, actress Jennifer Lawrence, athlete James Rodriguez and a YouTube video called “Mutant Giant Spider Dog” … which I am never going to watch because I detest spiders and love dogs. See more at www.google.com/trends/2014.
And finally … What would an Editor’s Corner be without a random and irrelevant list from an equally random and irrelevant source to pore over? According to the Del Monte Holiday Meal Census — yes, I get these e-mails … pity me — Washington is ranked No. 16 in the U.S. for the fastest holiday meal preparation. Del Monte asked 2,500 Americans to describe how long it takes them to get ready for the typical holiday meal. Washingtonians said they spend about 4.8 hours cooking up a holiday meal. That’s well behind the cooks in Kansas (3.6 hours, No. 1) and Iowa (3.7 hours) and well ahead of the slowpokes in Mississippi (7.1 hours, the slowest), Kentucky (6.9, second-slowest) and Alabama (6.7, third). It’s understandable that we Washingtonians get our meals done fairly quickly, of course. We’ve got Seahawks games to watch … Reach editor Michael Dashiell at editor@ sequimgazette.com.

In February, the Clallam County Planning Commission, a citizen advisory body, will hold regional public hearings on the November 2014 Draft SMP to obtain public input to
help them prepare and forward a recommended SMP to the Board of Clallam County Commissioners. The 2014 Draft SMP is a proposed update to the county’s nearly 40-year-old SMP. The SMP generally applies to lakes (20 acres or larger), rivers and streams with flow over 20 cfs, and marine waters; areas within 200 feet of the ordinary high water mark or floodway of such water bodies; and associated wetlands, floodplains and critical areas. It is a comprehensive use plan
for shoreline areas that includes goals and policies, shoreline environmental designation maps, use and development regulations, and administrative procedures for the shoreline permitting process. Dates and times for the upcoming CDC forums follow: • Thursday, Jan. 8, 6-8 p.m. Port Angeles Senior Center, 328 E. Seventh St., Port Angeles • Wednesday, Jan. 14 6-8 p.m. John Wayne Marina, 2577 West Sequim Bay Road, Sequim Commission hearings • Wednesday, Feb. 4, 6:30
p.m. John Wayne Marina, 2577 West Sequim Bay Road, Sequim • Wednesday, Feb. 18, 6:30 p.m. Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles For more information on the Draft SMP, visit the County SMP Update Web Page at www.clallam.net/LandUse/ SMP.html. Visit the Department of Community Development at the County Courthouse, Suite 5, e-mail SMP@co.clallam. wa.us. or call Steve Gray, deputy director, at 417-2520.
Conservation organizations rally for Puget Sound A coalition of 14 land trusts and conservation organizations has formed the Shoreline Conservation Collaborative, committing to significantly increase the pace and quality of efforts to protect and restore Puget Sound. “Our members saw a significant opportunity to work together to protect Puget Sound. The shoreline of Puget Sound may look pristine and accessible, but it is neither,” said Hannah Clark, executive director of the Washington Association of Land Trusts. “This unique and irreplaceable natural treasure has been in decline for years, with thousands of acres altered, contaminated or destroyed, and less than 12 percent open to the public to enjoy. We are
embarking on a cohesive, unified strategy to ensure Puget Sound’s shorelines are healthy, vibrant, clean and full of life.” The collaborative seeks to significantly increase the impact of its members work to conserve Puget Sound shorelines. In the next 10 years, the collaborative has set an ambitious goal to permanently protect 150 shoreline properties and restore an additional 30 shoreline properties. Among the collaborative’s first successes is the conservation of a 280-acre shoreline property important to salmon and wildlife abutting the Lyre River on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, thanks to a recent purchase by the North Olympic Land Trust. “It’s great to be working side by side with partner land trusts
across Puget Sound to improve the quality of life for our entire region,” said North Olympic Land Trust Executive Director Tom Sanford. The 14 groups signing a Memorandum of Understanding to form the collaborative represent all 12 of Washington’s Puget Sound counties: Bainbridge Island Land Trust, Capitol Land Trust, Forterra, Great Peninsula Conservancy, Jefferson Land Trust, Lummi Island Heritage Trust, Nisqually Land Trust, North Olympic Land Trust, San Juan Preservation Trust, Skagit Land Trust, The Trust for Public Land, Vashon-Maury Island Land Trust, Whatcom Land Trust and Whidbey Camano Land Trust.
The Shoreline Conservation Collaborative is a project of the Washington Association of Land Trusts.
About North Olympic Land Trust North Olympic Land Trust is dedicated to the conservation of open spaces, local food, local resources, healthy watersheds and recreational opportunities. Its long-term goal is to conserve lands that sustain the economic and ecological vitality of the communities of Clallam County. Founded by community members in 1990, the Land Trust has conserved over 3,000 acres of land across the North Olympic Peninsula.

Jane Manzer (right), Sequim Soroptimist president-elect, gives a $500 check to Donna Tidrick of Sequim Community Aid toward its Toys for Sequim Kids project. Dec. 8 was set-up day. The picture below was taken in front of one of the many tables filled with toys and clothing for children. Many volunteers turned out to unload the toys and clothing and set them up on tables designated by gender and age groupings. Mothers, coming on Dec. 9, identify themselves as Sequim residents to a “helping elf.” The moms then were helped in choosing one big toy, one game, one piece of clothing and a blanket or similar covering per child.
Thomas earns DC degree Erin Urquia Thomas of Sequim received her Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree at the Fall Quarter commencement of Palmer College of Chiropractic’s San Jose, Calif., campus on Friday, Dec. 5, in the theater of the Santa Clara Convention Center. Thomas graduated from Sequim High School in 1997 and earned her B.A. (creative writing) from Western Washington University in 2006. While attending Palmer’s San Jose campus, Thomas was active in various student activities, including the SOT (technique) Club, served as assistant director in the “open lab” (helping fellow students enhance their adjusting skills), and earned her certification in the Activator Technique. Thomas received one of the four “Clinical Excellence” awards presented by the Dec. 5 commencement. She plans to practice in Port Angeles or Sequim. Assisting with the presentation of Thomas’ diploma are her parents, from left, Dr. Joseph Urquia and Dr. Leslie Van Romer Martin, and Dr. Bill Meeker, DC, MPH, president of Palmer College of Chiropractic’s San Jose campus.

Soroptimists start art contest honors working women Members of the Sequim Boys & Girls Club were invited to draw or paint a picture of a working woman they know and admire for the Soroptimist Live Your Dream art contest, which pays tribute to the launch of Soroptimist’s new program – Dream It, Be It: Career Support for Girls. All club members participated in the contest and artwork was used during the annual auction and dinner in November. Afterward the art was organized into three age categories and winners were selected by the Soroptimist club. From here the art will be submitted into the national contest in Philadelphia, Pa., and finalists will be posted in an online Facebook contest in February. The Soroptimists also presented a $500 grant they received for the club. In photo, Sandy Lawrence, Soroptimist International of Sequim president, and Amanda Beitzel, contest chairman, present awards for the Live Your Dream Art Contest to Heidi O’Leary, Ava Fuller, Ethan Hunnicutt, Olivia Collins and Charlye Snow.

Healing through inking Artist finds solace in art post-car wreck by MATTHEW NASH
ary in Colors of Sequim, 139 W. Washington St. Her most recent piece, “Untitled” featuring two Japanese women in a field of flowers, birds and bugs, took hundreds of hours using a toothpick and Chinese ink. Her pieces, she said, are all large, very detailed but all very different. “I love the details,” she said. “It is healing to me and not overstimulating.” She took up drawing with bamboo sticks before gradually working to smaller wooden tools. “I just did it one day,” she said about her current artistic path. A few days a week she’ll ink 3-5 hours on a piece before taking a break in between. “I only paint when I feel good,” she said. “If I don’t feel good, then the lines aren’t as straight.” She dabbled in leatherwork and accessories in Sequim but found her ability just wasn’t the same as before, she said. To go away from leatherwork and her past interests was hard, McClain said, because before the car wreck she had just attended
Sequim Gazette
Following thousands of intricate ink strokes, Erica McClain may have found her path to healing. The former leather worker and hat maker recently took up ink drawings but moving from mediums McClain must go to great efforts physically and mentally to finish a piece nowadays. McClain said she sustained a trauMcCLAIN matic brain injury after a 2008 car wreck that forced her to slowly regain her speech and movement. After the wreck, McClain said she didn’t feel like the same person as before. But now McClain’s art seems to have reinvigorated her and to promote healing among those with similar struggles. So far, she’s completed several pieces that will be featured during the First Friday Art Walk on Jan. 2 and for the month of Janu-
a wearable art show and was readying a storefront to sell her handmade goods. At her family’s suggestion she moved to Sequim 3 1/2 years ago to pursue new ventures. She moved into The Vintage at Sequim apartments and befriended many people. “I feel I was re-birthed and re-raised by the women at The Vintage,” she said. “I’ve met some incredible women there.” At one of her friend’s suggestions she approached Sky Heatherton of Heatherton Gallery about her art and soon learned some of her work would go for sale. Her interest in the ink and wood medium only blossomed from there and with more encouragement she agreed to her first ink-only showing in Colors of Sequim. “If at all possible, I want to make a difference in the lives of those with traumatic brain injuries and disabilities,” she said. “I would love to sell my artwork but I’m not looking to make a million dollars. My heart is to help people.” For more information on McClain and her work, call 8084723.
One small segment could take up to six hours, Erica McClain said. She specializes in bamboo and stick drawing with ink. Sequim Gazette photos by Matthew Nash

A few years ago, sportswriting demigod Rick Reilly wrote a column about what he’d change if he were some kind of American Sports Czar and could change anything he wanted with the kind of impunity only Roger Goodell can imagine. With this column, I’m … basically ripping him off. But these are (mostly) different approaches to what I see as the slightly to grossly, the poorly constructed and the downright obnoxious rules, slight to major improvement s to the standards and customs of our national pastimes. We’ll start with the biggies ...

2014: The Year in Sports by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette
There were plenty of athletes and teams for Sequim sports fans to root for, from a dynamic pair of cross country teams and a phenom freshman golfer to the emergence of Sequim High’s girls wrestling program and the resurgence of SHS’s football squad. Despite plenty to cheer about in Sequim’s purple and gold, however, all seem a bit tinged with Seattle Seahawks blue. The frenetic passion for the region’s NFL team spilled over across Western Washington and onto the Olympic Peninsula in January of 2014, driving rabid Sequim-area Hawk fans to put up banners and posters, and to gather at Centennial Place and countless other get-togethers to root on the team to its first Super Bowl title on Feb. 2. Three days later, there were plenty of peninsula fans among the 250,000-450,000 fans lining Seattle’s streets for the city’s first football title parade. That included Sequim’s Ed Gacek, physician at Olympic Medical Center. Gacek, coming off a 12hour work shift, went directly to the parade route, joining others in fighting bumperto-bumper traffic to Bainbridge Island to snag a ferry. He and his sons Matt and Nick Gacek found themselves buried 150-people deep in a kind of amphitheater, but it was all worth it, he told me. “It was great to be with my two sons,” Gacek said. “We were together in the Kingdome in ‘95 (for the Mariners’ playoff series-clincher against the Yankees). It felt very similar.” Back on the peninsula, Sequim High’s basketball squads both earned berths in the district tourney but saw their seasons end there in February. Alex Barry took home all-league first team honors for the boys (15-7), while Evan Still was named Coach of the Year for the Sequim girls (10-11). While Sequim’s boys wrestlers struggled in the postseason, Sequim’s girls proved to be up to the task. Kaylee Ditlefsen and Sophia Cornell each grappled their way to state, with Ditlefsen taking eighth place. Eric Prosser was the lone Wolf to qualify for the state meet in swimming/diving, earning a pair of top-20 finishes in the 100 backstroke and 200 individual medley. In the spring, Sequim High freshman Alex McMenamin tore up league golf courses to earn Olympic League MVP honors, then placed third overall at the state 2A tournament in May.

boys’ team earn state berths but just miss the second-day cut. Sequim High’s fastpitch squad battled neck-and-neck with rival Port Angeles and clinched the Olympic League title on the season’s final day, topping P.A. 8-2 to finish with a 14-2 league mark. Makayla Bentz earned a league MPV award in the process. Only Fife could keep Sequim from winning the West Central District crown. Ironically, it was Fife that knocked Sequim out of the state tourney after earning one win; the Wolves finished with a 21-5 mark. Sequim’s baseball squad won seven of their first nine league games before hitting a four-game slide. The Wolves righted themselves for a district berth before Klahowya knocked them out short of state. Seniors Brett Wright and Nick Johnston earned all-league first team honors for the 13-9 team. In track & field, Sequim’s Barry earned a spot on the state 2A meet’s medal stand, placing third in the javelin. Sequim’s boys took eight participants while the girls’ team took two and a relay squad to state. On the soccer pitch, Sequim’s boys slugged it out with league foes Kingston
and North Kitsap, taking third place at 13-3 — just one game back of the Bucs and Vikings. Sequim took the No. 2 seed to districts but fell in a terse, 3-1 decision to Sumner. On the tennis courts, Sequim’s finished with a strong 9-3 overall mark as Karen Chan and Melanie Guan took sixth at districts, earning state alternate berths. Sequim’s boys saw state 2A tourney entry, the Matthew Richards/Brandon Payne doubles combo, drop both state matches. In the fall, Sequim’s boys cross country squad made a bit of history, earning second place overall behind Sehome — tied for the best finish for a Sequim boys team in history (boys basketball, 1988). Ranked just behind Sehome for most of the season, the Wolves — led by a strong group of seniors and juniors — were untouchable until the season finale, where the Mariners proved to be too tough in the end. Sequim junior Waverly Shreffler placed 33rd in the girls’ race, capping a season that saw marked improvements for the Wolves. They were second in the Olympic League and seventh at districts, just missing a team state berth. A trio of outstanding seniors led SHS’s volleyball team. Emma LeBlanc earned Olympic League’s defensive MVP award while teammates Alyse Armstrong and Emily Wallner were named all-league first teamers. The team was second in the league behind North Kitsap and finished 14-5 overall, two wins short of a state berth. Sequim’s football squad, which had tallied two wins total in the past two seasons, earned a spot in a district postseason tiebreaker and finished 4-5 overall. The Wolves played three consecutive overtime games, winning one. Sequim’s girls swim/dive squad sent three individuals and a relay team to state, while a number of injuries derailed a promising SHS girls soccer season.
Reporter’s It may seem a Notebook little odd to start a column about Michael Dashiell what I’d change to sports by pleading that changes NOT be made, but this is the case. Each year, the NFL rules committee gets together and tries to figure out what to do to tweak THE MOST SUCCESSFUL SPORT IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE. Yeah, I know, soccer/fútbol is way more popular worldwide and some stats indicate more people watch car racing than American football … but the league has an annual revenue stream of $10 billion that only scratches the surface of how incredibly big this sport is. So let’s move back the point-after-touchdowns, because PATs are too easy! Let’s ban players from “dunking” over the goalposts! Let’s make every player — we’re looking at you, Marshawn — be required to talk to reporters after games! Let’s add more teams to the playoffs! Stop it. Just, stop. The sport is not broken (save for the item below), so stop trying to mess with a good thing. Instead, perhaps the committee could rather address important things, like concussions. They’ve gotten better at diagnosing those kinds of injuries, but there seems to be some progress to be made in helmet design and education. Also, parents and players probably should remind themselves that this is a sport with helmets and many pads: that is a great indicator that there may be a chance to get seriously injured in a variety of ways. If you don’t want that to happen, take up another sport. Finally, perhaps it’s time to get serious about performance-enhancing drugs in football. Anyone else think it’s a little weird that almost no major figure in American football has been banned from its Hall of Fame for steroid/PED use? Want to stack up the number of players who by the numbers deserve a pass to baseball’s Hall of Fame but aren’t in thanks to use or suspected use of performance-enhancing drugs (10 at my last count and growing each year) to the number not making it in to football’s Hall of Fame for the same reasons (none)? Isn’t football the sport we’d suspect the most use? Those drugs that increases muscle mass and strength and also enhance recovery time after a workout? In a sport where 6-foot-6, 310 pounds and running a 4.5 40-yard dash is becoming not the exception but the rule? College football (and other college sports) The NCAA got its act together and finally found a way to work in a playoff system for college football. Congrats. Now, instead of dozens of teams feeling they got robbed at the end of the season (minus two), you have dozens of teams feeling they got robbed at the end of the season (minus four). A quick look at the Football Championship Series (formerly Division II) gives you a good idea that a 24-team playoff can be completed from Nov. 29-Jan. 10, with eight teams getting a bye and eight getting eliminated in the first round. Of course, we would have to throw out the bowl system. Maybe not bad idea. This year, there are 36 bowls, NOT COUNTING the two national semifinals and the national championship. I think we can do away with the Duck Commander Independence Bowl, the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl and the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, don’t you? Either get back to the “old days” of 16-20 bowls — sorry, 6-7 Fresno State — or get a real playoff going. As for paying college athletes … that’s a big, ugly can of worms to open. I think the countless millions of dollars poured into universities solely for the glorification of college sports figures has pretty much thrown the whole “amateur status” thing out the window, right? Like anyone thinks of any player suiting up for Alabama or Oregon or Florida State as untainted, uncorrupted young adults, with their multithousand-dollar scholarships, television deals that put them before a national audience in high school, and many of them signing letters of intent in middle school. So you want to pay college football players? College basketball players? Sure. Go for it. But make them employees of the university and make every document having to do with their employment is open to public scrutiny. Want to pay Joe Athlete $50,000 to come to your school? Go ahead … and anticipate a thousand reporters asking for copies of Joe’s W-4 forms.

Alma Mendoza (125) also took cothird place by pinning Jenny Chen of Mercer Island in 4:55, Kylie Moore of Kelso in 1 minute, Terra Strecker of Inglemoor in 1:46 and defeating Brianna Galvan of Steilacoom in an 8-6 decision. She lost her second match in an 8-2 decision to Anesia Ramirez of Lakes, with whom she later shared third place. Kiara Pierson (115) was Sequim’s other medal winner with a co-fifth place finish with pins over Averie Freund of Kelso in 4:34 and 10-7 win over Nia Lawes of Bonney Lake setting up the co-finish with Chelsey Rochester of Yelm. For the Wolves, Aylee Bennett (130) and Jillian Hutchinson-Blouin (120) finished 2-2 while Andrea Kienholtz (155) went 1-2. They traveled to Forks on Dec. 27 but due to holiday deadlines results were not available.
Sequim’s Lady Wolves came out in full force for the Hammerhead Invite in Bremerton on Dec. 19-20 to earn a ninth place finish (89 points) with four girls medaling in their weight classes. “For as many girls we had, we did pretty well,” head coach Charles Drabek said. Senior Kaylee Ditlefsen took top billing for Sequim with a secondplace finish at 140 pounds. She pinned Rachelle Torres-Valencia of Grandview in 41 seconds for her first match and Chloe Ammons of SedroWoolley in 59 seconds before losing to 2013 state-runner-up Mariah Morton (130 pounds) of Kelso in a 10-0 major decision for first place. Ditlefsen also won the sportsmanship award for all the girls. Fellow senior Sophia Cornell took co-third place at 110 pounds after going 2-1 with a pin over Sam Weeks Boys seek medal of Mount Tahoma in 5:46 and Malia Sequim’s boys took 30th (70.5 Adams of Franklin Pierce in 3:48 points) with a few wrestlers coming in the consolation bracket.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
P.C. men sweep to a title Sequim Gazette staff
Mitch Freeman, Peninsula College head men’s basketball coach, was a busy man in mid-December. He was at his wife Nicole’s side for the birth of their second child, Gavin — then raced to Olympia to help the Pirate men win three straight to take the NWAC West Division Crossover Tournament at South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia. It was P.C.’s first Crossover Tournament win since 2011. Peninsula defeated Edmonds 66-56 in Sunday’s championship, following wins over Walla Walla and Grays Harbor. The Pirates improved to 6-5 in non-conference play with one game remaining, a home game against Pierce on Dec. 30 — results were not available at press time. The Pirates prepare for their conference opener, slated for Jan. 10 at home against Edmonds. Freshman Deonte Dixon put up big numbers in all three games to win a spot on the All-Tournament Team. Peninsula opened the West Division Crossover Tournament with a 91-80 win against Walla Walla, with Ryley Callaghan pouring in 30 points, Dixon scor-
tunately, the Titans were less than accommodating. Lane tipped the Pirates 59-46 on Dec. 18 en route to a second-place finish at the Crossover tourney in Auburn, while the Pirates got bounced from the tourney by Big Bend in overtime, 80-77, on Dec. 19. Against Lane, Madison Pilster had 10 points and eight rebounds, Gabi Fenumiai added six points and nine rebounds, and Zhara Laster chipped in with eight points and four steals. Lane’s defense proved too tough, holding P.C. to just 18-of-78 shooting (23 percent) from the field. In the consolation semifinal against Big Bend, Pilster and Imani Smith led six Pirates in double figures with 15 points each to lead a furious Peninsula second half comeback. P.C. rebounded from a 20-point deficit (44-24) to knot the game at 68-68, with the Lady Vikings edging P.C. in the overtime period, 12-9. Pilster finished with a team-high seven rebounds. Fenumiai had 13 points, Cherish Moss had 12 and Ciera Moss and Miranda Schmillen had 10 points. P.C.’s women are off until Jan. 10 when they start conference play at Edmonds.

In the tourney semifinal, Peninsula jumped out to a 15-point lead and had to hold on for a 74-72 win against Grays Harbor. Dixon led the charge with a collegiate career high of 34 points, but it was the Pirates’ domination of the glass — they out-rebounded Grays Harbor 53-31 — that clinched the win. Jal Deng added 13 points, Callaghan scored 11 and Jeremiah Hobbs contributed eight points and 14 rebounds. In the championship, Callaghan and Dixon combined for 41 points to lead the Pirates to a 66-56 victory against the Edmonds Tritons. Mayeux added 10 points and a season-high 16 rebounds. Peninsula held Edmonds to just 30 percent from the field, including no made 3-pointers on 12 tries.

He was later pinned by Christian Villani of Bellevue before pinning Hunter Ford of White River in 1:37 and winning 15-3 against Tanner Olson of Olympic. Ward was pinned in 2:45 by Adam Appleton of Central Kitsap who went on to sixth place. Latimer went 4-2 in a large bracket with his first match pinning Malcom Johnson of Mountlake Terrace in 1:46 before losing 13-3 in a major decision to Andrzej Hughes-Murray of Federal Way. Latimer rebounded to pin Timo Harter of Rogers in 1:30, Connor Lungberg of North Mason in 4:25 and defeat Mike Milcarek of Inglemoor 5-1. Ultimately, he was pinned by Kenneth Turner of Thomas Jefferson in 3:14, who took third in the meet. Nathan Allison at 285 pounds went 3-2 with two pins before defaulting due to injury in his last match, and Grant Pierson (138) went 2-2. Last weekend, the boys teams traveled to North Mason for a varsity and junior varsity tournament. This week they’ll travel to the Battle for the Axe in Port Angeles on Jan. 3.
Notebook From page B-5
Let’s see some free agency out there, as Joe looks to sign with Auburn, then LSU, then finally settles with Ohio State because the Buckeyes offer a $1.1 million signing bonus. It’s a scene no one really wants … not the colleges and universities, not the fans and not the players, in the end. But it may be the best option with so many folks clamoring for a piece of the billion-dollar pie.
Baseball Basically, baseball is the best-designed game anywhere: the symmetry of 90 feet between bases, the construct of nine innings that allow for bursts of intense action but plenty of downtime for refection about the history of the game, the beer and hot dogs … just amazing. I’d only change a couple of things, the first being to bring back “Old-Timers” games. They used to be a staple of the game but for the occasional, poorly played celebrity softball games. Instead of seeing hobbled, aging versions of our heroes whiff at 65-mileper-hour “fastballs” (like we should), we only get hobbled, aging versions of our heroes on bad reality shows or in mug shots.” Put ’em back on the field. And that goes for all sports … who wouldn’t want to see the greats go at it again,
even if they’re decades past their prime? Second, let’s nix the designated hitter. It was a good idea at the time and I would not trade Mariners DH great Edgar Martinez for a poorhitting substitute, but I think the DH has run its course. Third, put Edgar in the Hall of Fame. Seriously. Fourth, and my biggest pet peeve of the game, STOP HAVING BASEBALL WRITERS DETERMINE WHO GETS INTO BASEBALL’S HALL OF FAME. And this is coming from a sportswriter. Who thought this was a good idea? Sports writers, I guess. It should be a mix of folks: former and current players, former and current managers and GMs, a few respected sportswriters … and James Earl Jones. So he can announce those selected.
Basketball Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz should be required to buy an NBA team and move them — himself — to Seattle, donating the squad to the city. And when I say he needs to move the team himself, I mean he has to give a piggyback ride to each player from the city in which they play back to Seattle. And carry their uniforms. And sweatbands. And towels. And sneakers. And family members. Read part two in the Jan. 7 edition of the Sequim Gazette.

P.C.’s Studium Generale 2015 winter program includes 11 diverse offerings Peninsula College’s Studium Generale series offers 11 programs during the 2015 winter quarter. Community members are invited to attend the weekly presentations free of charge. Programs are held each Thursday from 12:35-1:25 p.m. in the college’s Little Theater on the main campus, 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd., Port Angeles. The series’ first program is Thursday, Jan. 8, with a presentation by Erin Jones, director of Equity and Achievement for the Federal Way School District, a large, diverse district south of Seattle. Jones, who has been recognized by the White House as “A Champion of Change,” presents in honor of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy. (See story, right) For more information on upcoming events at Peninsula College, visit the college website at www.pencol.edu or see www.facebook.com/PeninsulaCollege.
Upcoming Studium Generale programs • Jan. 15 In co-sponsorship with the Peninsula College Longhouse and Foothills Writers Series, Studium Generale presents Jamestown S’Klallam poet Duane Niatum, who presents a lecture focused on history and culture. At 7 p.m., he will give a poetry reading in the Peninsula College House of Learning, Longhouse. A reception follows the evening reading; the public is invited to attend. • Jan. 22 David Brasher, co-owner and cofounder of High Energy Metals, Inc., discusses how explosive welding techniques are used to bond dissimilar metals. Recently, Brasher’s local Carlsborg company fashioned a piece of equipment for the Mars Rover. • Jan. 29 Washington State Poet Laureate Elizabeth Austen and Peninsula College Faculty Emerita Alice Derry present a joint reading. As part of Austen’s tenure, she has invited well-known poets to engage in what she has dubbed the “Poets in Conversation” program. Derry, Peninsula College’s own renowned poet, was the director of the Foothills Writers Series and also taught English and German at Peninsula College. The reading is co-sponsored with the Foothills Writers Series. • Feb. 5 Jennifer Santry presents “Cultivating Students of Agriculture — Inspiring the Next Generation of Farmers.” Santry, who teaches for Colorado Mountain College, asserts that “it’s time we inspire our next generation
P.C. presents tribute to Dr. King’s legacy
Peninsula College’s Studium Generale program presents a special tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Jan. 8. Erin Jones, former director of Equity and Achievement for the Federal Way School District and currently director of AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) in Tacoma, is the featured speaker at 12:35 p.m. in the college’s Little Theater. Her lecture, which is free and open to the public, is followed by a workshop for high school and college students, held in the Longhouse. The workshop provides students with an opportunity to engage in the challenging questions of the future of race relations and the importance of equity and diversity in our world, event organizers say. Students from local high schools, including Sequim High School’s Be the Change Club, will travel to Peninsula College to participate. Jones’ visit is made possible through partnership with The Peninsula College Longhouse, The Shades of Color Club and the Associated Student Council. Jones has been involved in education for the past 23 years as an athletic coach, a public and private school teacher, an instructional coach, a state assistant superintendent and a district executive. She has taught in a variety of environments, from predominantly African American to predominantly Caucasian to some of the most diverse communities in the nation. She began her career in Philadelphia, Pa., followed by a move to South Bend, Ind., followed by a move to Washington, where she has now lived for 17 years. Jones received the Most Innovative Foreign Language Teacher Award in 2007, while teaching at Stewart Middle School in Tacoma, and she was the Washington State Milken Educator of the Year in 2008 while teaching at Rogers High School in Spokane. She received recognition at the White House in March 2013 as a “Champion of Change.” of young farmers” and let them know that “’farming’ isn’t defined by overalls, tractors and a field of corn.” • Feb. 12 Peninsula College Longhouse Gallery’s featured artist and P.C. student Logan Martin will be joined by his father Bill Martin for a special presentation of their artwork, as well as Logan’s great-grandfather’s carvings. Father and son will discuss the processes and inspiration they go through to create their contemporary and traditional Makah art. An artists’ reception immediately follows in the Longhouse Gallery. • Feb. 19 Upward Bound students, in collaboration with program director Tammy Napiontek, present a lecture and discussion focused on the art show that is currently installed in the PUB Gallery of Art. The gallery show is made possible through the support of artist and P.C. professor Michael Paul Miller. • Feb. 26 Dr. Stephen Kitzis, Peninsula College math and astronomy instructor, presents “Mind and Meaning, A Flight of Imagination, A Voyage of Discovery.” Kitzis explains, “We grow into our mind as our mind grows into us. We create meaning. Minds are as individual as we are. Minds are all about messy solutions involving ambiguous situations, not perfection.” • March 5 Nancy Lang reads from her biography, “9,000 Miles in a Knight.” It is a

1930 travel journal, chronicling the 9,000 miles her grandmother, Pearl Maybelle Hugunin MacHenry, covered in her Willys-Knight touring car in 1930. She and her family traveled from Seattle to New York City and noted the tiny details as well as the grand sights. • March 12 Suzie Bennett, Arlene Wheeler and Frances Charles tell the story of how the ancestral belongings from Tse-whit-zen Village were returned to their rightful home among the Elwha Klallam people. Through self-determination and the support of federal laws, including the NAGPRA, Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, 15 cultural items were returned from the Burke Museum. These, along with items that remained with the Klallam people, are now on display at the Elwha Klallam Heritage and Training Center in downtown Port Angeles. Their presentation is co-sponsored by the Peninsula College Longhouse. • March 19 Sequim artist and musician Clay Murdach talks about his art. He notes that in “the process of making my art, I try to step into my childlike psyche. My ultimate goal is to have fun and basically play visual chess with objects and layout to create a visual dialogue that could have a meaning or be totally absurd.” An artist’s reception will immediately follow this program and will be held in the adjacent PUB Gallery of Art.

HELEN HALLER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Students are learning how to give each other compliments in Elisha Howard’s first-grade classroom. The teacher read “Rainbow Fish” to the class and students had to come up with the main idea for the story. We learned that giving is a part of being a good friend. One project we did was to tell each other one compliment that had depth to it. For instance, they could say to one another, you are always kind to everyone in class and I admire that about you. Each student had to give one to a different student so that each person gave and received a compliment. Students then wrote it on a paper fish scale with a Sharpie pen. The class put their scales together on the bulletin board to create a complimenting fish!

Story times begin at library McMinn earns Rotary’s Vocational Weekly story times at the Sequim Library will resume Wednesday, Jan. 7. Toddler stor y time will recur at 10:30 a.m. every Wednesday and is recommended for children between the ages 18 months and 3 years old. Preschool story time will take place at 11:30 a.m. every Wednesday and is recommended for children between the ages of 3-5. Baby story time, scheduled every Thursday at 11 a.m., will resume Jan. 8. This program features action songs, fingerplays and nursery rhymes for babies with time for parents and caregivers to meet and visit following each session. All story times feature age-appropriate books, fingerplays, rhymes and action songs, often with a simple craft for children to take home. A love of reading and books is one of the most precious gifts a child will receive. Library story times create critically important learning opportunities for young children and their parents or caregivers, program organizers say. Young children who become regular library users will benefit from the early literacy experiences offered at programs like story time, which help develop the communication and social skills needed when preparing to enter school.

• Don’t try to eliminate all sugar from your 8-year-old’s diet. A small bowl of ice cream isn’t the problem. • It is OK to say no dessert if you don’t eat your dinner. • It also is important to have vegetables and salad on every plate. • Don’t eliminate letting your child go out for Halloween but do eliminate her eating all her candy in a couple of days. • Don’t focus on losing weight in your home; focus on healthy eating. • Don’t eliminate after-school snacks; have fruit and other healthy food available each day. • Check what your child is eating for lunch. Does he pack his lunch or buy it at school? See what is in either one. But don’t only look at what you eat; look at what you do. Is your child an active child? Does he get involved in physical play? How much walking and running and jumping does she do? Is she involved in any athletic activities at school? How much of his time is spent in front of a screen just watching or clicking?

Gift that keeps giving: Flowering holiday gift plants by JEANETTE STEHR-GREEN For the Sequim Gazette
A blooming Christmas cactus. Submitted photo
Did you know that you can get most flowering holiday gift plants to bloom again with the right care and a few special steps in the fall? Just clip and follow the calendar below. • January: Throw away faded paperwhites. (These are the only holiday gift plants that will not rebloom.) Allow your Christmas cactus to rest after all blooms have dropped by moving it into a cooler spot (55-60 degrees) and decreasing watering. Remove f lowers from amaryllises as they fade; af-
ter all blooms are spent, cut the flower stalk to 2 inches above the top of the bulb. Place poinsettia a nd amaryllis plants in a bright, sunny indoor spot. Water when the soil surface dries and fertilize every 2-4 weeks with a balanced fertilizer such as a 10-10-10 nitrogento-phosphorus:potassium mix. Continue this care until late summer. • Late March-early April: Resume normal care of your Christmas cactus. Move it into bright, indirect light (direct sunlight will burn the leaves); water when the soil surface dries; and fertilize every 2-4 weeks with a balanced fertilizer. Pinch back the stems (by breaking off one

or two segments) to encourage branching. Cut back your poinsettia to 8 inches tall for a fuller, more compact plant. • May-August: Continue care as above. When outdoor temperatures are consistently above 55 degrees, consider moving holiday gift plants outside. Expose them to outdoor conditions slowly, starting with a few hours each day and working up to leaving them outside overnight. Place Christmas cactuses in a shady spot and poinsettias and amaryllises in full sun. Prune your poinsettia as needed for bushy, compact growth. • Late August-early September: Stop fertilizing all holiday gift plants. Bring them indoors when nighttime temperatures drop below 55 degrees. Stop watering your amaryllis and move it to a cool spot (50 degrees). • Early October: To encourage bud formation, move your Christmas cactus into a cool room (50 degrees) and decrease watering. Provide indirect, bright light during the day and 12 hours of darkness
each night. Once you see buds forming (after about 6-8 weeks), move your Christmas cactus to where you wish to display it and leave it. Moving it around will cause the buds to drop. Place your poinsettia in complete darkness for 12 hours each night, moving it to a bright spot during the day. Continue this regimen until bracts start turning color (about 10 weeks). • Early November: Cut back amaryllis leaves (many of which will have turned yellow and withered) and move to a warm, sunny spot. Water thoroughly and do not water again until the top 2 inches of soil dry out or leaves appear. • December-Januar y: Enjoy the blossoms! To extend the life of the blooms, place plants in indirect light and moderate temperatures (60-70 degrees). Water when the soil surface dries; do not let them sit in water. Do not fertilize holiday gift plants until blooming is complete. Jeanette Stehr-Green is a WSU-certified Clallam County Master Gardener.

many organizations, especially during the holiday season, which will pick you up and drive you home in your own car, as safe as can be.
Even now, despite the ever increasing number of public awareness campaigns, drunk driving is frequently at the center of horror stories involving families across America. In fact, nearly all Americans have heard or read at least once over the

last year, a story about a drunk driver having hit a child, an innocent bystander, an ordinary person. It is more than ever the time to learn some lessons from these terrible experiences. You’ve been invited to a family evening where drinks will be flowing freely or to a Happy Hour with your work colleagues? These are, without doubt, occasions when you could really have a lot of fun. But don’t kid yourself; it’s highly likely that you won’t be in a fit state to drive by the end of the evening. Add to that the difficult driving conditions we can encounter during the winter and you’ve got a good recipe for disaster... Happily there exist a whole range of options to avoid driving under these conditions. There is, of course, the designated driver system as well as

Call (360) 457-8206 to adopt these pets. Sponsored by caring pet lovers. LIL BOB came to us a year ago, was adopted, and returned because the new owner didn’t have enough time for him... Bob is quiet, calm, and just needs a nice comfy bed where he can live out the rest of his days. Bob does have some arthritis in his hind end, and he gets really stiff when he walks around... He has a little bit of trouble holding in his urine if not let outside often. Bob does well with other dogs and cats! WINNIE will be a great dog in the right home! She has a history of not being good with other animals, but she is doing well with other dogs can cats in our office. Winnie would do best in a quiet home with no small kids (older kids would be fine). She walks well on a leash and is house trained. She does bark at strangers, and she does get protective over her person. She likes to sit on your lap, and she seems to enjoy wearing sweaters!

www.stinkydogubathe.com EVE was very scared when we first got her, but she has since become very sweet! Eve needs to go to a home where she will be the only pet, and where there are no kids. She can be very protective of her home so she will need a fenced yard to keep her safe. Eve loves to play fetch! If you are looking for a loyal pit bull, please consider Eve! LADY is a sweet girl! Super friendly with people, and seems to want to play with other dogs as well. However, she is NOT good with cats! Lady is a high energy dog that would benefit from an owner that can provide her with lots of socializing and exercise! She is not the type of dog that you can just have in your yard... She will need continuous socializing to keep her behaving like a good citizen.
