One of three skill center satellite programs within the Sequim School District is on the chopping board. The end of the academic year may be the end of the North Olympic Peninsula Skill Center’s Natural Resources program that engages students from Sequim, Port Angeles, Forks and LaPush. “The Natural Resources program gives students opportunities to define themselves from a young age as engaged, productive citizens,” LIBERMAN Daniel Lieberman, Natural Resources program teacher, said. “ T hroug h t he Nat ura l Resources classes, students earn credit and obtain skills, schools gain additional options that fit diverse learners and community organizations connect with and train

Sweet SHS send-off It’s an emotional (almost) last day for Janet and Dan Peterson at Sequim High School last week. The two school district employees were set to retire, so SHS staffers surprised the pair with a “go tunnel” — where students and staff form a kind of human tunnel — on the school campus on March 25, capped by performances from the Sequim High School band and flag team. Janet Peterson worked for SHS for 17 years as Associated Student Body secretary while her husband Dan worked for the district for 19 years, as a custodian at Greywolf and Helen Haller Elementary before shifting to Sequim High. “Totally surprised,” Janet Peterson said soon after the celebration. “I’m leaving a job I loved every single day. Who gets to do that?” She said she and Dan are headed to work in visitor services at Grand Teton National Park, part of the U.S. National Park Service, before spending some time this coming winter in Arizona.

For more than a decade, Sequim business partners Bob Duncan and Bob Groff knew their heat-generating, coldwater immersion suit could and would save seamen’s lives — if only someone dared to dream as they had.

It’s the Super Bowl of safety,” Duncan said. “I’m the business side and Bob is the techie side,” Groff noted. “We started looking at the best way to take it to market and the options were to manufacture it ourselves or to get help from the (Clallam) EDC. We saw it was not going to be feasible for us to manufacture it on our own.” Now marketed through Stearns and their own

Access, affordability challenge for patients Free visits decline at Dungeness Health and Wellness Clinic, but need continues by PATRICIA MORRISON COATE

Clinic, which serves uninsured and underinsured patients, saw its urgent care visits decrease by 34 In its annual report for 2014, the percent and its chronic care visits Dungeness Health and Wellness drop by 28 percent over 2013. Sequim Gazette

That begs the question: Is there less of a need for its free medical services by the working poor and if so, why? “It’s a mixed bag,” GIBBS said Rose Gibbs, RN, the clinic’s director. “With the

Affordable Care Act, some of our lower-income working people have had a chance to qualify and a lot were able to do it. In early 2014, they were able to get into a (primary care) provider but that came to a crashing halt later in the year because the demand for providers exceeded the supply.”

The impact of the ACA was a double-edged sword — good because many previously denied patients could qualify for health care insurance but bad because there were no local providers to take them. Lack of access became the real challenge.

Twists, turns for Clallam’s Economic Development Council

Goal remains enhancing area businesses by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Intending the funds to be used by the recently restructured Economic Development Council, Clallam County commissioners appropriated $150,000 from the county’s general fund toward general economic development March 24. “(The) next step is to create a contract with the EDC,” County Commissioner Jim McEntire said. The council can use the extra funding in a number of ways, including more staff, contracts or studies, but the hope is to increase the council’s ability to achieve its goals as a private nonprofit organization aimed at enhancing business in Clallam County, McEntire said. As is, the council has two paid employees.

“The staff capacity to do what really needs to be done isn’t there,” McEntire said prior to the approval. More financial support for the EDC has been an on goin g t a lk in g point among county commissioners after McEntire, a past EDC board member, succeeded in spearMcENTIRE heading and passing Ordinance 898. However, Ordinance 898 that changed Clallam County Code 5.40 with relation to the county’s Opportunity Fund, opening it up to the EDC was short-lived following a lawsuit filed in response by former Clallam County commissioner Ron Richards. Although County Commissioner Mike Chapman opposed Ordinance 898 because of the

City of Sequim now accepting donations for Civic Center plaza Sequim Gazette staff

Residents of the SequimDungeness Valley have the opportunity to be a part of Sequim history by purchasing a part of the Community Plaza at the new Civic Center on the corner of North Sequim Avenue and West Cedar Street. There are many ways to participate: Commemorative Brick Pavers — $100 The engraved brick pavers will be incorporated into the floor of the plaza and highly visible to all pedestrians on the plaza. The commemorative pavers are intended to recognize families, businesses, community organizations, clubs and churches. Each paver is 7.5 inches by 7.5 inches and can be engraved with up to 13 characters on each of three lines. Bricks that are sponsored after the completion of the plaza will be installed into the plaza on a quarterly basis. Benches — $1,500 There will be six metal benches on the plaza. Bench sponsors will be recognized with a plaque on the bench. There is only one bench still available for sponsorship. Five of the benches have been sponsored. Tree – includes root barrier and grate — $2,000 Trees will front the plaza along West Cedar Street. The sponsor of a tree will be

public process, or lack there of, he said in a Feb. 23 work session, the “unfortunate” aspect of the lawsuit and not looking to the Opportunity Fund for the EDC is the remaining option to draw from the general funds and thus impact county government. “It’s not in public interest to spend money and time pursuing the court case, but the best course of action that was determined at a prior discussion was repeal Ordinance 898 and proceed in a different fashion,” McEntire said during a commissioners meeting March 17. The Opportunity Fund Board eliminated by Ordinance 898 was resurrected as a result of the commissioners’ unanimous decision to repeal the ordinance mid-month. Separately, the EDC’s board of directors underwent a reconfiguration from a 27-member to a 17-member board and county commissioners unanimously approved the board’s most recent

representatives, Don Butler of High Energy Metals Inc., Linda Dillard with Clallam Bay-Sekiu Chamber of Commerce, Ryan Malane of Black Ball Ferry Line and Larry Hueth, CEO of First Federal. “The whole notion is to try to get the board slimmed down to be able to make decisions and be strategic,” McEntire said. “The EDC needs to be able to measure the progress toward achieving well-defined goals.” The EDC’s objective to increase the average median household income by 4 percent above inflation by 2018 is one example of a measurable goal it has set. With the Opportunity Fund Board back in place and the dust nearly settled from the EDC’s newly adopted bylaws and reconstruction, the two boards will have to work together if the council seeks to gain any funding from the county’s Opportunity Fund. Communication between the

Opportunity Fund board and EDC “is the piece that still needs some attention and to be worked out,” McEntire said. “The EDC has been receiving state and federal funding, but that money is dried up,” he said, furthering his emphasis on the need to identify more funding options for the council. As a possible response to the staffing and funding hardship, the county commissioners met with the Port of Port Angeles Commission on March 24 to discuss the council’s status and the Port of Port Angeles Commission’s involvement. “The conversation went well,” McEntire said in reference to the county commissioners meeting with Port of Port Angeles officials. “But it was just the beginning to a larger conversation and still at a conceptual level.” Reach Alana Linderoth at alinderoth@sequimgazette.com.

Just a word about dentures or removable complete teeth replacements, also known as plates. When dentures just don’t stay put, we have two main tricks in our bag. First is a reline. Over time the ridge contours can change shape so that the denture doesn’t fit closely any more. A reline adapts the denture to the current mouth shape. The lower denture often needs additional stability. Before resorting to denture adhesives, consider implants to retain and stabilized the denture. Either mini implants or standard implants attach to snaps in the denture and hold it secure. See pictures and descriptions at www.zestanchors.com/products

Club earns scholarships for graduating students by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

After six years of helping teens at the Sequim Boys & Girls Club, Teen Room coordinator Luke Kisena will be able to help a lucky few even more. He recently was awarded one of 12 national Maytag Dependable Leader Awards for his efforts with local teens. The award includes a $20,000 grant to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Olympic Peninsula for $1,500 educational scholarships to club members graduating this spring and in coming years. “I’m really excited,” Kisena said. “I really like that the other winners I saw were in metropolitan/urban areas. In the outskirts, we may not have gangs but we deal with the same problems of meth addiction and other problems. I want to get the word out that we’re not here to babysit.” Kisena facilitates eight programs including his own “Paint the Town” where club members can paint murals and/or art pieces in the club and community. In six years, he’s led teens on 13 projects including Martin Luther King Jr. and Muhammad Ali murals in the club and other murals for local businesses. Five teens filmed a Paint the Town project for the Sequim Education Foundation’s Film Festival in 2013 and won first place and $3,000 in scholarships, too. Kyle Gordeuk, 17, who has been with the Sequim club since first grade, said he’s helped Kisena with murals and the film project. “(Kisena) is an awesome guy, good friend and he’s

always been there for me,” he said. “He’s brought a lot of humor and activities to the club. We’ve gone on trips, gone paint balling; I wouldn’t have done them if not for the club and Luke.” Teen Club staffer Courtney Garman nominated Kisena for his efforts in helping students grow. “From leading mentor programs to offering youth undivided support, Luke is not only a phenomenal staff member, but also a safe haven for some of our club members to confide in,” she said. “Luke would gladly give the shirt off his back to help the kids in our community. I could go on for days about the endless efforts he puts forth in our club. Never have I seen someone so committed to helping youth reach their full potential,” Garman said. Along with Paint the Town, Kisena leads “Making Proud Choices,” the clubs’ State Alliance-funded teen pregnancy prevention program that focuses on educating students about sexually transmitted infections and teenage pregnancy. So far, he’s helped more than 50 teens graduate from the program this school year. Kisena said it feels good to be recognized but he’s most proud of the students. “I like the feeling of watching the teens succeed,” he said. “Success comes in many forms. We want to be available to provide as many amenities as possible and do whatever we can to help.” From here, Kisena said he wants to explore more opportunities within the Boys & Girls Club but still be able

to interact with the children. “It’s fun for me and I don’t want to be steamrolled by paper work,” he said. “It’s very important for me to stay on the ground floor. You can change more lives.” The Maytag Dependable Leader Awards are part of Maytag’s annual donations to the Boys & Girls Clubs and it has donated more than $3.5 million in the past three years.

The Sequim Museum & Arts just celebrated a year of accomplishments. At last week’s annual meeting, Louie Rychlik received this year’s “Achievement Award” for his many donations of labor, materials and cash. “Without Louie as treasurer and project supervisor, our museum would not have seen such positive changes and I consider him the museum’s Master of Whatever needs to get done,” says director Judith Reandeau Stipe. “The Dungeness Schoolhouse has never had more rentals than this winter. This is so important because those funds subsidize the expenses of our other two buildings.” She believes their success is due to support from citizens of Sequim like Rychlik, whose experience and knowledge are priceless. Rychlik shows a plate with an etching of the Dungeness Schoolhouse where he began classes in 1947. He continues to be an important part of the protecting the national historic site for the future generations to enjoy.

When asked why Alex decided to volunteer for the City, he responded “I’d say it’s not my decision, it’s my mentality.” Alex retired last year from his life-long profession as a mathematician, computer scientist, and software developer. Referring to Mark Twain’s quote, “Age is an issue of mind over matter; if you do not mind, it doesn’t matter,” Alex said that he couldn’t just stop immediately after retirement; he needed some time to slow down. Alex and his wife have been visiting Sequim on a regular basis since the 1990s. By the year 2000 they had bought a house in Sequim and were weekend residents. They moved here full time just over a year ago. On why volunteering is important, Alex said, “It is not just important; it is a vital part of the social fabric of the United States. I consider it as one of the manifestations of our freedom. Only free people can afford it, to be productive, to take simple pleasures and satisfaction in creative jobs and fruitful activities – for free, without payments.” To learn more about how you can find the right volunteer opportunity with the City of Sequim, contact Volunteer Coordinator Pamela LeonardRay at (360) 582-2447 or pleonard-ray@sequimwa.gov or City Clerk Karen Kuznek-Reese at (360) 681-3428 or kkuznek@sequimwa.gov.

KSQM picks Claire for interim director She holds 30-plus years in the music industry by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Laraine Claire, the interim executive director at KSQM 91.5 FM, heard her father’s signals loud and clear. As avid fans of the station, Robert and Deonne Hansen would play KSQM in their car and home 24/7, Claire said. Prior to his death last summer, Claire’s father asked her to volunteer at the station and less than a year later she’s helping send the station worldwide. “Everything in my life has come together for this,” Claire said. “My background in music and marketing are perfect for this. I wake up excited every day.” Claire, a stalwart in the music business for 30-plus years, follows former Executive Director Bob Schilling. He began as a volunteer in February 2012 as project manager for KSQM’s “Our First Fed Tower” and the adjacent John Wayne Memorial Transmission Facility, which helps send the station’s music as far as Bellingham and Victoria, B.C. Lynda Perry, KSQM board president, said Schilling wanted to spend more time with his family and to develop other business interests. Si n c e Cl a ire b e g a n , KSQM program director Jeff Bankston said she’s done remarkable things. “The volunteers just love her,” he said.

Laraine Claire looks to bring in more community members to help at KSQM 91.5 FM and expand its outreach in Sequim and abroad. “I want people to know this is their radio station. It belongs to you. What would you like to hear?” she said. Sequim Gazette photo by Matthew Nash

who we are and what we are doing here. I want people to know this is their radio station. It belongs to you. What would you like to hear?” she said. To increase outreach, Claire has become more active online with the station and she intends to partner with the City of Sequim and SequimDungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce to brand Sequim more. Bankston said while Claire is in an interim position, she will definitely be a candidate considered for the position in the coming months. Claire said she’s already seen how far the station’s reach can go. Recently a couple from Wasilla, Alaska, were visiting Seattle and they drove to Sequim to make a donation and see the people they’ve been listening to online, she said. In addition to Claire, Cindy Boller, wife of KSQM announcer Tom Boller who is heard 6-9 p.m. Mondays and Tuesdays, is the new volunteer coordinator. KSQM, 577 W. Washington St., is a full power noncommercial service of Sequim Community Broadcasting, a 501(c)3 nonprofit and charitable organization. On April 25, it’ll hold a Habitat for Humanity Donation Drive and “An Affair to Remember” Benefit Dinner on May 23. For more information, call 681-0000 or listen at 91.5 FM or online at ksqmfm.com.

Claire, a native Californian, holds a Bachelors of Music from the USC Conservatory and has worked in multiple areas in the music industry, including publishing music for the entertainment business. She came to Sequim in 1999 following her parents with her family of two boys, two girls, two step-daughters and two foster children. In 2010, she moved back to California to support her sons Wesley and Keaton Stromberg, members of pop-rock band Emblem3. “They had gotten enough exposure that we had to pursue their music,” she said. For a few years, Claire helped promote her sons’ band and helped form the nonprofit Team Inspire Project and served as chairman of the board. In July 2014, she moved back to Sequim to fix up her rental home and decided to stay. Of the 75 volunteers at KSQM, Claire holds the only paid position. She said part of her vision for KSQM includes reinstating a school report, starting a fine arts report with interviews with local musicians and artists, recognizing volunteers once a month and engaging the community more. Claire said she’s started Reach reporter Matthew Nash surveying community members and found “there are still at mnash@sequimgazette. a lot of people who don’t know com.

Sequim REALTORS® oppose taxes in House budget proposal REALTORS® say that they strongly oppose the tax increases in the Washington state House of Representative’s state budget proposal announced March 30 at a

morning press conference. The proposal includes a capital gains tax of 5 percent, which would include a tax on a second home, as well as a 0.3 percent permanent increase

in the business and occupation (B&O) tax on business services. The capital gains tax, intended for the “wealthiest taxpayers in the state,” would

result in taxing a second residence, many of which can be as small as a cabin. All homes already have a state and local real estate excise tax imposed on them at the time of a sale. REALTORS® say the proposed capital gains tax would put a significant burden — more than 7 percent in total home taxes in some areas — to the second home market that is critically important to a healthy housing market here in the Sequim area. The B&O tax increase proposed by the House would be on the gross income of “services and other activities” that include real estate brokers, barbers, beauty salons, veterinarians and dozens of other small businesses. The B&O tax rate currently on this category is 1.5 percent, the highest rate in the state. The proposed new tax would

raise it to 1.8 percent, upping it 20 percent. “It is just not sound economics to tax these Main Street businesses and the second-housing market, both of which are still working hard to recover from the recession,” said Karen Pritchard, president of the Sequim Association of REALTORS®. “We must leave them alone so that they regain full health and fully unlock our economic recovery with new jobs and income,” she said. “Now is just not the time to be taxing small business and housing. These are not fair taxes.” The latest revenue forecast shows that the state will receive $3 billion, 9 percent more in tax dollars over the next two years from existing taxes. Real estate provides

revenue to the state through the real estate excise tax, a transaction tax on every purchase. There is also a significant portion of state revenue provided through the business and occupation tax on the gross income of real estate professionals and other services. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration since the end of the recession (from mid-2009 to mid-2013), small firms accounted for 60 percent of the net new jobs. “We understand the state’s budget dilemma and the issues they must address,” Pritchard said. “But that cannot be on the backs of small business owners, who already contribute a lion’s share of taxes to state coffers and provide so many of the jobs we need for a healthy economy.”

Peninsula nonprofit aimed at educating via experiences

MUNGER

Peak Performance moves, expands

by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Instead of hallways leading to classrooms, trails lead to rivers, fields and mudflats. Instead of four walls, towering trees circle. Instead of a ceiling, the sky hovers above with an endless sense of depth and instead of a floor, the earth’s crust crackles and pops beneath one’s feet. Centered on educating through experience, exploration, discovery and children’s intrinsic sense of curiosity and playfulness, at Olympic Nature Experience the outdoors inspires the learning and lessons each day. “It’s all flow learning, SALAZAR- so whatever comes up in the moment, that’s TIPTON what we explore,” Sarah Salazar-Tipton, director of Olympic Nature Experience, said. Through “inquisitive-based” teaching techniques and training, SalazarTipton and instructors are able to ask and answer questions and incorporate ongoing learning while the students of Owl’s Hollow play outside. Owl’s Hollow, a school program for ages 3-6 years is one component of Olympic Nature Experience, a non- Mallorie Kirsch looks for earthworms with her children Solveig and Shepherd profit founded by Salazar-Tipton and during a Thursday morning outing with the Dungeness Adventure Club led by her growing passion for nature.

is in developing a holistic and critical mind, she said.

Forest schools Olympic Nature Experience is one of few forest schools on the Olympic Peninsula, but Salazar-Tipton said the Seattle area has “quite a few forest schools.” “In some ways we’ve lost the practice of thinking holistically,” Salazar-Tipton said. “So I think there’s been a shift away from education in a traditional sense to experience. You can’t create a love for something you don’t understand.” There are vary degrees of forest

schools, but certified forest school instructors “are trained to keep children (and adults) safe in the woods and how to explore with them so they can delve into whatever topic may come up,” SalazarTipton said. By capitalizing on an experience, such as the discovery of earthworms for example, Salazar-Tipton can easily expand on the importance of worms in the environment and thus help development critical thinking skills and a more holistic view. “It’s not just about learning facts, but how to think through things,” she said. “It’s about going to the same place, but with new eyes and we’re there to help them (the students) develop their sight and abilities to do that.” Although Olympic Nature Experience still is evolving, Salazar-Tipton already has aspiration with for growth, including a potential senior program and integrating a homeschool curriculum. Olympic Nature Experience has open enrollment for the 2015-2016 school year.

Anytime Fitness owners attend international conference Jay and Heidi Bryan, owners of Anytime Fitness in Sequim, recently attended the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association’s Annual Trade show at the convention center in Los Angeles, Calif. The Conference and Trade Show provide learning opportunities from the world’s leading authorities in health and fitness. “We love to see what’s new and learn about best practices in helping promote effective exercise in our gym and community in general,” Jay Bryan said. “I always enjoy attending these conferences because we always learn something new, find a new piece of equipment or two, and meet new people. It’s a way to get away from the daily routine and look at things from a different perspective,” added Heidi Bryan.

Olympic Nature Experience grew from a weekly outdoor children’s club, Dungeness Adventure Club, SalazarTipton spearheaded in 2012 as an avenue to work with children outside. With some outside help, the club developed, but Salazar-Tipton knew she wanted to expand, offer additional programs and become a nonprofit. By last year Salazar-Tipton’s vision became a reality with the guidance of a supportive board of directors. “I work with great parents, teachers and board members,” Salazar-Tipton said. “I wouldn’t be doing what I am without the people involved.” The organization is now nearing the end of its first academic school year with classes held biweekly at the Dungeness Recreation Area. Having spent her own childhood in San Diego, Calif., Salazar-Tipton had an appreciation and interest in nature, but was somewhat disconnected. Through the Coast Guard, however, before being stationed in Port Angeles, she lived in a variety of more rural areas and pursued a science-centered education at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. “Connecting with nature has been an adult process for me,” she said. “It’s been years of studying about tracking, native edibles and going on hikes.” Becoming a mother herself cemented her understanding of how critical nature

Clallam County deputy Paul Federline helped rescue a woman involved in a rollover crash at the Masters Road intersection near the Port Angeles Walmart on March 29. Federline, while giving a citizen a courtesy ride from Port Angeles to Sequim, was flagged down by passers-by at the scene of the crash at about 5:20 p.m. on Sunday. An SUV resting on its side was occupied by its driver, 63-yearold Lila M. Betts of Port Angeles. The woman was suffering from an arm injury and was conscious but unable to get out of the vehicle. With the SUV’s motor running and gasoline spilling out of the gas tank, Federline instructed the driver to cover her face and used his baton to break the windshield enough to reach in and shut off the motor. This action likely prevented the SUV from catching fire or worse, law enforcement officials said. Fire department and EMS personnel arrived soon after and took over the rescue, peeling back the roof to extract the driver. The SUV driver was transported to

worth more than what we were offering.” The city was seeking $850 a month for three years but Fairclough, 76, said his last offer was $1,100 per month. Fairclough said he feels his properties are worth more than what the city was offering. “If I accepted $850, I still have to pay taxes and my net would not be very much,” he said. “I’m old. I’d like to have a retirement. They don’t want to do it that way though.” Burkett said negotiations aren’t completely closed. “If they came back with a proposal that is reasonable, then they (city councilors) could decide on it,” he said. “In the future, the city is going to want to have that probably for an expansion, but that’s five to 10 to 15 years from now.”

Kathryn A. Loran, 23, of Port Angeles, was sentenced to 12 months plus one day in state prison to be followed by 12 months community custody on March 10. Loran pled guilty on Nov. 25 to possession with intent to deliver heroin, a Class B felony committed on June

Loran sentenced

4, 2014. The case began on the evening of June 4 with a theft complaint at a business in the 600 block of South Lincoln Street in Port Angeles. A Clallam County Sheriff’s Office deputy was in the area and detained Loran. Loran was carrying about 37.5 grams of heroin in her purse. A detective from the Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team assisted with the investigation. It is estimated that the heroin in Loran’s purse was purchased for $1,400 and could be sold on the street for as much as $7,500.

was asking too much. City Attorney Craig Ritchie said the city’s last offer was $120,000 per 6,250 square foot lot. Fairclough said that in 2008 he was willing to sell both sites for $570,000. Fairclough said if the city returned with a “fair and decent offer” he’d be willing to rent or sell. “What they want is for me to be anxious to sell,” he said. “There’s a big difference between being anxious and wanting to sell. I’ve been willing to sell for 40 years but not anxious. From 20002008 I was kind of anxious to sell (for travel expenses for his ex-wife). If I sold my properties now, I’d be about broke. I’d maybe make about $40,000.” Nearby, the City of Sequim completed a purchase worth $89,500 for a home at 191 W. Spruce St. (now demolished) as a parking lot for Clallam Transit buses and as an emergency exit for the Sequim Police Department. In June 2014, city councilors voted to enforce a short sale with eminent domain on the house to speed up the sale with the homeowners’ bank. The city and the homeowners agreed on a deal more than two years ago but the bank would lose about $50,500 after the loan to the homeowners and sale to the city. Ritchie previously said the city was not seeking a deal for Fairclough’s properties when the latest rental agreement was first proposed. Burkett said the Civic Center is expected to be substantially complete on April 25 but the plaza is targeted for completion by June 1. An open house remains tentative for May 1 with a dedication/grand opening on June 13. For more information, call 683-4139 or visit sequimwa. gov.

From page A-1 “Toward the end of the year it got worse and it’s pretty bad now. Although the area has recruited providers, the demand is still higher than supply,” Gibbs said. In the year-end report, she states, “Approximately 65 … have enrolled in health care coverage since January 2014 … Most have found primary care providers; however, in recent months, they have been placed on waiting lists or scheduled for a first appointment in nine months.” For the very low income, there is Medicaid, now called Apple Health in Washington. For those “working poor” who don’t qualify for Apple Health, many in minimum wage jobs whose employers don’t offer insurance or those workers who can’t afford the premiums, the ACA was touted as an important alternative. Gibbs begs to disagree. “The Affordable Care Act is a misnomer — for many it’s not affordable,” Gibbs said. “Many patients can’t pay the premiums of $400$800 a month plus a $5,000 yearly deductible. When the government tried to ‘reform’ health care, the only thing it changed was insurance plans — not outcome, not access. The rural area we live in has challenges a city may not, demand exceeds access to health care. Even the wellinsured can’t get in for an appointment because of access. In the evening urgent care clinic, about 50 percent are new patients, some searching for a PCP (primary care provider) or they don’t have any coverage at all.” From the Washington Health Care Exchange, established as a result of the ACA, it says, “… cost-sharing subsidies reduce the out-of-

Basic urgent care pocket amount of expenses you have to pay when you receive health care services at the hospital or doctor’s office. You can get this reduction if you purchase a Silver plan through Washington Healthplanfinder and if your income is below a certain level.” However, Gibbs noted, “Many find that they do not qualify for subsidies and cannot afford the insurance product. Exchanges are so expensive that unless their employer is paying for their insurance, many are just not going to enroll or pay the copays for follow-up care. We see people who have waited to come in and now present with complex medical issues. Gibbs added, “We’re the safety net for people who can’t afford it or who don’t want to get into the government system. We see very few people ‘down and out’ — usually most of our patients — 90 percent — are ages 18-64 and patients from ages 2045, working and with young families, are really being hit hard because they’re usually in part-time jobs, they’ve

assistance by way of nominal rent and covering basic labs and X-rays. She said the clinic wouldn’t exist without OMC’s support. As for 2015, Gibbs forecasts a year much like last year. “People are not getting into new coverages because the exchanges are very expensive. We are being sought by those who received partial subsidies and catastrophic plans and are now finding it prohibitive to afford co-pays and deductibles.” Also for those who obtain coverage, they are not able to get appointments with a PCP for six to nine months, she said. In 2014, the clinic had 1,386 patient visits and Gibbs expects its 75 volunteers will continue to attend to the health care needs of the uninsured and underinsured of eastern Clallam County. “This is a great service for the community and people need to be really proud of what we do,” Gibbs said. “I love what we do. The patients are so thankful and they appreciate the friendly support and services they receive from us.

Odds, ends from the editor’s desk Happy April Fools’ Day! Here’s a wish that our family, friends and neighbors aren’t the unwitting fools in some recent scams going on around the Olympic Peninsula. A spate of rather nefarious phone calls have inundated the Sequim-Dungeness Valley recently, as the Gazette faithful have told us. Over the years, scam artists have tried various ploys to get personal information (credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, March Madness picks, etc.) from area residents, from claiming the call recipient has failed to comply with jury duty responsibilities to offering tickets on regal cruise lines, from claims that a call recipient’s deceased loved one has debts to pay off to simply asking residents to press certain numbers on their phone. A particularly popular one in recent days includes callers claiming Editor’s to be representatives Corner from the IRS and anMichael Dashiell other that claims to be a representative from Clallam County PUD. They’re hitting residential homes and businesses alike, Gazette readers told us. It’s a similar scam theme from mid-April of last year, when both faux IRS and PUD reps blanketed the area, trolling for any kind of information. The solution, as always, is to hang up. Regarding the IRS scam, if you or a family member receives one of these calls, the Attorney General recommends hanging up. If you do get into a conversation, do not give anyone money or credit card information over the phone and don’t trust callers who use threats or insults to bully you. You may report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484. For more information about the PUD and to verify the legitimacy of an inquiry, give them a call at 452-9771 or see www.clallampud.net. Stay safe out there.

Crime doesn’t pay Speaking of crime on the peninsula … one of my favorite spots in the world was desecrated the other day. Three men were arrested in the early morning hours of March 21 after police officers caught them painting graffiti in a historic Fort Worden State Park concrete bunker. At about 1:30 a.m., Officer Jeremy Vergin was on patrol in the park and noticed the gate closing the road to Artillery Hill was open. A quick inspection of Battery Tolles revealed a 42-year-old Silverdale man with a large machete strapped to his belt and (not surprisingly) a glass pipe and methamphetamine. They found two Seattle men with him, along with several bags of spray paint and tubes of liquid art paint. Overall cost of the vandalism is estimated at about $750.

Thanks for your service, Diane Diane Schostak, a longtime Forks resident, a member of a legendary West End pioneer family and, among other things, retired executive director of the Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau, died in March at age 59. Schostak was being treated for Stage 4 breast cancer and died in California where she had been visiting relatives in Bakersfield. Schostak was a gracious and helpful source for our staff here over the years. Christy Baron, editor at the Forks Forum, noted that, “I considered Diane more than just a champion of community causes — I saw her as a force of nature. If she had something in mind to do, she got it done.”

Kilmer’s on the job With countless gallons of raw sewage from Canada being dumped into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, U.S. Rep. (and Port Angeles native) Derek Kilmer met with members of the Canadian parliament recently, pressing them to find a solution. “It’s time for Canada to solve this sewage problem,” Kilmer said. “I grew up in Port Angeles, right across the water from Victoria. So it concerns me when after many years, Canada continues to send raw sewage right into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. I’ll continue to call on our Canadian partners to work on a solution so we can ensure this does not impact our shared waters any longer.” Last year, the government of British Columbia decided not to move forward with a sewage treatment plant in the Victoria region at McLoughlin Point. The Victoria area, home to 300,000 people, has pumped untreated sewage into waters across from Washington for years. The treatment facility was supposed to be completed by 2018 until the local Canadian government decided to table the site.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR SARC not too big to fail Let’s look at reality here: SARC is a business. A business should be feebased and revenues from those need to be sufficient to cover operating costs. If they aren’t, businesses fail. They can fail for a multitude of reasons including, but not limited to, mismanagement, improper or lack of planning for the future, change in consumer buying habits, product or service offered, etc., with most accepting their fate without expecting the public to bail them out. SARC is not in the league with the banks, S&Ls and car makers who

A-10

got public money to keep going — so why do they feel the public should bail them out? Not every business is going to appeal to all consumers so, if the public, by choice, choses not to utilize the services offered by the failing business, why then should they be forced to support it by a tax increase they neither need nor want? Low- and fixed-income residents who do not use SARC are going to be burdened by this proposal in the form of higher taxes. A tax increase for a justifiable reason is acceptable but this is not justifiable. If you’re a SARC user who benefits from the facility, then support it. If

you’re not, you shouldn’t have to. The voters already have said “no” once and if this comes up for vote again, be sure you understand exactly what you will be voting on, which, plain and simple, no matter how it’s written, is a tax increase for yourself and everyone else. Pete Reiter Carlsborg

Support a Metropolitan Park District

My husband and I have lived in Sequim for nine years and have been annual members of SARC for most of that time. We retired and moved

here from California and one of the reasons we moved to Sequim was SARC. We wanted a place to work out and swim. SARC has met all of our needs and we love going there three days a week. SARC was built as a community facility and is the swimming pool for Sequim schools. Signing the petition for putting SARC on the ballot to become a Metropolitan Park District is good for our community. Voting for SARC as a Metropolitan Park District in August is a very good thing for our community. Barbara Ross Sequim

Trail run is first in three-part running series Sequim Gazette staff

The Olympic Adventure Trail Run is set for April 11 and that’s just the beginning. Race organizers Scott Tucker and Lorrie Mittmann and Peninsula Adventure Sports set the annual OAT run as the first in the threepart, 2015 Peninsula Adventure Sports Series. Following the OAT run is the Great Olympic Adventure Trail (GOAT) Run, a marathon and half marathon trail race, on Sept. 19, and the Big Hurt, a multisport race, on Sept. 26. Now in its third year, the OAT Run returns to the single-track Adventure Route section of the Olympic Discovery Trail just west of Port Angeles. This 12k and half-marathon trail run sold out all 250 spots in its first two years. This year is on track for another sell-out crowd of runners from across the United States and Canada, race organizers say. The start lines of the one-way course are higher in elevation than the finish line, but the course challenges runners with more than 2,000 feet of cumulative elevation gain in the half marathon and 1,000-plus feet of gain in the 12k. The course runs west to east on the trail and concludes with a barbecue and after-party at Harbinger Winery. For more information about the race, see www. oatrun.org. There are still a few spots open for the race; register at www.webscorer.com/ register?raceid=34812. This year’s title sponsor is Family Medicine. Other sponsors include JS Ironworks, Air Flo Heating Company, Pepsi Peninsula Bottling, Greg Voyles Farmers Insurance Agency,

Coastal: Eastern: Metro:

First Federal, Olympic Distributing and its partners at Pike Brewing Company, Scuttlebutt Brewery and Finn River Farm Cidery. Also supporting the OAT Run are Harbinger Winery, CrossFit ThunderRidge and Peninsula Trails Coalition. The one-way course is possible through shuttle support from the YMCA, Sequim Boys & Girls Club, Port Angeles Senior Center, Next Door Gastropub and All Points Charter. “Small races like this cannot take place without sponsors, so these are the folks really making OAT Run happen,” Mittmann said.

Fall races The Great Olympic Adventure Trail Run, a marathon and half-marathon, also features a one-way course on the Adventure Route. The GOAT Run, however, travels east to west and finishes at the Log Cabin Resort on the shore of Lake Crescent. The marathon course reaches a maximum elevation of 1,619 feet and a cumulative gain of 3,519 feet. Half-marathoners start at an elevation of 1,266 feet near the top of the Joyce Access Road and run a cumulative elevation gain of 1,528 feet. At 14 miles instead of the traditional 13.1, the half also gives runners a little extra time to enjoy the trail. See greatoatrun.org. After a 10-year hiatus, Tucker and Mittmann — along with Family Medicine as the title sponsor — are resurrecting The Big Hurt, a multi-sport race that took place in Port Angeles from 1997-2004. Race legs include mountain biking, kayaking, road biking and a 10k (6.2-mile) run. Participants may go solo for all four legs in the Iron Division or they can form relay teams. To volunteer, sponsor or get on the mailing list to receive Big Hurt information as it becomes available, e-mail olympicadventuretrail@gmail.com.

Mission: “Provide students with hands-on, relevant natural and cultural resources knowledge, skills and experience that meets the needs of individual students and North Olympic Peninsula communities.” Phone: 565-1533 Web: www.nopsc.org/natural-resources/

Decision to discontinue Although the Skill Center’s Administrative Council comprised of superintendents from Quillayute Valley, Cape Flattery, Crescent, Port Angeles and Sequim recognize the value of the program, Diana Reaume, Quillayute Valley School District superintendent and council chairman, explained the council has recommended the program be discontinued. “We started talking about this in early October,” she said. The program is structured as an “Alternative Learning Experience” given much of the students’ time is spent outside the traditional classroom setting; thus despite being a state-approved Career and Technical Education (CTE) class, it doesn’t qualify for CTE-approved funding. Because of the funding formula for Alternative Learning Experience CTE classes, it brings in less money than non-Alternative Learning Experience CTE classes, Lieberman said, but argues “the slightly reduced ALE funding rate is compensated by the program having more students enrolled.” Since the program’s beginning in 2008 it has grown yearly, Lieberman said. “Natural Resources was originally a single class serving small groups of students from Forks and then Port Angeles,” he said. “Over the years, it has grown into a program including educational pathways for students from across the North Olympic Peninsula.” This year, including 15 Sequim students, the program has experienced its greatest enrollment with

100 students participating from various school districts, according to Lieberman. However, the program’s enrollment still isn’t enough to be financially sustainable since students aren’t enrolling for the full 540 hours required by state law, Peggy Templeton, North Olympic Peninsula Skill Center director, said. Historically, via the Natural Resources program’s “Options” component, it allowed students to participate for less than 540 hours. Once Lieberman was informed by state officials with the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction that all students must meet the 540-hour requirement to comply for future funding, he suggested this modification to the program, he said. Yet those modification have yet to be made. “Yes, it is possible (to modify), but students aren’t choosing that option,” Templeton said. Regardless of Templeton’s hesitation to modify the program, Kim Sager-Fradkin, chairman for the Natural Resources program’s advisory board and Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe’s wildlife biologist, said she has watched the enrollment continue to grow for both the “Options” and “Internships” programs offered through the Natural Resources program. “I think the interest is definitely there,” she said.

Public Instruction also are weary of the amount of time students spend with personnel from community organizations instead of directly with Lieberman. Personnel with community organizations may create activities, Lieberman said, but he sees no conflict given he provides direct instruction to all students. “The students get to interface with professionals within the community, but there’s also a lot of engagement with Dan (Lieberman),” Sager-Fradkin said. “Bottom line is, the students are getting a lot out of this program.” Lieberman sees the students’ interaction with the various community organizations and even potential employers as an important part of the program. “After working side-by-side with adult mentors and planning, implementing and reporting on projects that are valuable to the professional community, students feel empowered to continue learning and work for positive change,” Lieberman said. One of the community organization working closely with the Natural Resources’s satellite programs in Sequim is the North Olympic Salmon Coalition. “Our Sequim Natural Resource class is the most successful education program that we offer and a model for expanding our work throughout the region,” Reed Connecting organizations Aubin, NOSC program manager In addition to the financial con- for education, outreach and voluncerns, Templeton said officials with teers, said. “Mr. Lieberman’s work the Office of Superintendent of has mobilized a wide variety of ex-

sion at Peninsula Community College, but Lieberman said, for high school students involved with Nature Bridge’s summer field science programs, without the Natural Resources program the credit arrangement will go away. “If the program is discontinued, students will lose opportunities to earn credit and learn outside the traditional classroom, schools will lose another option for diverse learners to be successful and community organizations will lose a partner that helps to inspire and train future employees and citizens,” Lieberman said. Maintaining an optimistic view and in hopes of keeping the program viable, Lieberman plans to include preparatory classes and internships that lead to natural resource jobs and post-secondary education for students in all five North Olympic Peninsula Skill Center’s consortium districts. “The plan is to provide opportunities for Crescent School District within a year or two, and following that, Cape Flattery School District,” he said. “As has happened over the years, the program will continue diversifying the opportunities offered to students and being flexible to allow for adaptation to potential changes in state regulations.” The North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center Administrative Council meets next at 9:30 a.m., Tuesday, April 14, at the NOPSC, 905 W. Ninth St., Port Angeles. Because the council members discuss private information, however, Templeton suggested any questions or concerns relating to the Natural Resources program be directed toward a representing superintendent. Reach the Sequim School District Superintendent’s office at 582-3260.

If the Skill Center’s Natural Resources program is cancelled following the end of the school year, already Reaume and Sequim School District’s superintendent Kelly Shea, know they would like to explore ways to continue a similar program in each of their districts. “The Natural Resources program in its current format needs to be restructured,” Shea said. “If it’s canceled, the question is how can we create something equivalent?” For college students, Western Washington University’s Huxley Reach Alana Linderoth at alinCollege of the Environment offers deroth@sequimgazette.com. local programs through its extensuit and being rescued, they’ll be asking, ‘What’s for breakfast?’ When they get into our suit, they have the expectation to go a couple of nights.” As for Latitude 98 — is that

with Coleman/Stearns of Wichita, Kan., and they took an incredibly long time with the suit, making patterns. There was a lot of back and forth with the engineers, telling them this would work but that wouldn’t,” Groff said. “Finally we got it right and to Stearns’ credit, they stuck with it. It took almost a year to get government certification — the certification process was arduous at best — because the 50-year-old regulations on how to certify cold water emergency gear was hard to adapt. There was nothing like it.” The Coast Guard only would certify the suit for six hours in 32-degree water and 37-degree air despite independent lab tests of 24+ hours, Groff said. “It’s still an uphill battle

for us because the Coast Guard standard is that it’s still an emergent suit,” Groff said, noting that heatconser vation suits cost about $300 and their heatgenerating suit is $1,499 from Stearns and $1,249 on their website. When challenged on the cost difference, Duncan responds, “It’s $1,499 for the first six hours — and the seventh hour is priceless. We’re just trying to create a new standard and save lives,” Duncan said. “Our suit is not just a little better than the rest of the world … “ “… it’s exponentially better,” added Groff. “It’s days, not hours.” In an emergency, crew members can don their Thermashields in under two minutes with some customers requiring being suited up

After the inspiration for the suit came to him in a dream — one he believes was divinely aroused in 2001, Duncan continued to perfect it for four years through trial and error, using himself as a guinea pig during a 24-hour immersion test in 2005 and subsequent ones. Even with all their back-up data on the suit’s effectiveness — Duncan said often he’d come out of the cold water warmer than he went in — the pair kept getting rebuffed. Then a door opened just a bit in 2011. “We did a presentation

They estimate several hundred have been produced and sold since 2014. According to information provided by Groff, “The Thermashield 24+ Immersion Suit with Latitude 98’s patented technology brings a totally new standard to emergency cold water survival. The current survival times for existing suits are 6-8 hours and rely on heat conservation for their effectiveness. “The Thermashield 24+ utilizes a heat-recapture process which allows the user to remain warm and comfortable in frigid water even when rescue is delayed. This new technology uses a unique mouthpiece and valve system to capture the heat in the user’s own warm breath. Heat normally lost is circulated around the body through a patented air chamber, preventing hypothermia for days. The suit becomes a life-sustaining cocoon, keeping the user warm and comfortable.” “Our goal was never to let anything get cold — your fingertips are as warm as your toes,” Duncan said. “If you can keep your extremities warm, we’ve done our job right.”

perts throughout our region to consistently connect with students.” “I hope that administrators are able to find a way to continue this program, as it leverages significant community resources to enhance educational opportunities in our public schools,” he said. Sequim students enrolled in the Natural Resources Options program are involved in different projects, Lieberman explained. The students working with NOSC are doing noxious weed removal, native plant restoration and other salmon habitat enhancement projects. Another group at the Dungeness River Audubon Center are building, installing and monitoring bird nesting boxes, planting native shrubs and collecting data on the conditions of Railroad Bridge Park. Lastly, students at Dungeness Spit are conducting monthly surveys on marine debris, beached birds and other environmental conditions. Sequim students enrolled with the program’s “Internship” component are involved with officials with the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, Puget Sound Partnership’s Citizen Action Training School, WSU Extension and Feiro Marine Life Center.

Washington has experienced record-warm temperatures this winter and, as a result, extremely low snowpack statewide. While precipitation has been largely normal statewide, consistently warm weather and high freezing levels have caused most precipitation to fall as rain rather than snow. With many sites in the mountains already completely void of snow, what little snowpack remains will likely melt several weeks ahead of normal. Washington could face serious water shortages this spring and summer. Traditionally, many communities across the state have relied on a healthy snowpack to slowly feed rivers, farms and communities through the drier spring and summer months. The Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Northwest River Forecast Center project water supplies for snowpackdependent watersheds to be well below normal April through September. And the state Water Supply Availability Committee identified 34 watersheds out of 62 that will likely receive less than 75 percent of their normal water supply (a statutory drought threshold) because of the diminished snowpack. For perspective, snowpack in the Olympic Mountains is fluctuating around 10 percent of normal right now. A few days ago it was down to just 4 percent; yesterday it briefly spiked to 14 percent; and today it’s down to 11 percent. With long-range weather forecasts calling for a warmer, drier spring, snowpack is expected to remain in a dire state. The shortage in water supplies creates the strong possibility of undue hardships for water users in the following watersheds:

• Yakima River Basin: The Bureau of Reclamation announced that pro-rationed water users will see their water deliveries reduced to a level less than 75 percent of their normal supply. Orchards cannot withstand interruption in water supply and low stream flows in tributaries can hamper salmon migration and survival.

• Wenatchee and Entiat Basins: The water supply forecast calls for much less than 75 percent of normal water supply; orchards cannot withstand interruption in water supply.

• Walla Walla Basin: Even during a normal year, there is not enough water available to supply the demands of all users. Insufficient stream flows can block salmon and trout migration in this basin.

• Olympic Peninsula: The forecasted water runoff from April through September for the Dungeness River is expected to be the lowest in the past 45 years. This will threaten the reliability of community water systems. Streamflow conditions are expected to become significantly adverse for fish habitat, with the potential for migratory barriers and fish stranding. Salmon runs are especially important to Tribal communities on the peninsula.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climate Prediction Center predicts warmer and drier conditions this spring. Given these projections, there is a strong likelihood that water supply forecasts will be revised downward in the coming weeks. The water supply shortfall poses a serious threat to irrigated crops, public water supplies, and fisheries in the following Water Resources Inventory Areas: 17: Quilcene-Snow; 18: Elwah-Dungeness; 19: Lyre-Hoko, 20: Soleduck-Hoh, 21: Queets-Quinault; 32: Walla Walla; 37: Upper Yakima; 38: Lower Yakima; 39: Naches; 45: Wenatchee; 46: Entiat. Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of RCW 43.83B.405, IT IS ORDERED that the above listed Water Resource Inventory Areas are hereby under a drought emergency. This order is effective immediately and shall remain in effect through December 31, 2015, unless terminated prior to that date. In accordance with the provisions of WAC 173-166-060, Department of Ecology may, under the terms of this order, take the following emergency actions: 1. Issue emergency permits for water. 2. Approve temporary transfers of water rights. 3. Provide funding assistance to public agencies to alleviate drought conditions. 4. Take other actions depending on future developments in drought conditions. Other state and local agencies with authority to issue permits or authorizations related to the drought emergency actions must provide a decision to an applicant within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date of application.

OTA revisits hit production Stage is set for ‘Steel Magnolias’ by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

For his second time, Larry Harwood with Olympic Theatre Arts is directing the stage production of Robert Harling’s “Steel Magnolias.” Harwood successfully directed “Steel Magnolias” more than two decades ago in 1991; thus when asked if he would direct the play again, his answer was simple – “Absolutely.” “The writing is brilliant,” Harwood said. “If you think you’re going to see the movie, it would be a mistake … the play is better.” Harling wrote the play in reaction to the death of his diabetic sister. Before becoming a movie in 1989, the play was first performed on Broadway. Through comical and lighthearted conversations between friends and family, Harling copes with the seriousness of tragedy, like the loss of his sister. The Olympic Theatre Arts’ cast for “Steel Magnolias” embodies the personalities of six Southern women in a Louisiana beauty salon owned by Truvy Jones. Together the actresses highlight the strong, yet fragile and layered relationships shared between the women in the

Unintended consequences A manager we admire often asks his staff, “What problem are we solving here?” What an important question. Sometimes we create “solutions” when no problem exists – and sometimes our “solutions” have unintended consequences. Enter the first GMO apples and the first GMO potatoes, just green-lighted by the FDA which calls them “as safe and nutritious as their conventional counterparts.” Unlike existing industrial GMO crops such as corn, soy and wheat where genetic modification is used to The Food promote herbicide/pesConnection ticide tolerance, these Mark Ozias genetic modifications and Lisa Boulware have been made to reduce browning of cut apples and to reduce bruising of potatoes. Neal Carter, founder of British Columbia-based Okanagan Specialty Fruits which owns the patent on the approved apples, explains: “(We) want to see bagged apples become as prolific as bagged baby carrots. We know that in a convenience-driven world, a whole apple is too big of a commitment.” Wow. In order to “solve” the “problem” of the apple’s “inconvenience,” this company has engaged in genetic manipulation whose long-term consequences are unknown. We do know, however, that there will be inadvertent costs. For example, if one of the plans for GMO apples is to package them in plastic bags, there will be millions more petroleum-based plastic bags being created and ultimately discarded to live forever in a

We are just now beginning to hear about some of the unintended consequences arising from the widespread use of other GMO crops such as corn, soy and wheat heavily planted across the American heartland and beyond.

recently labeled glyphosate a probable carcinogen when used on an industrial scale (in other words, on commercial GMO crops.) They note it has been detected in the air during spraying, in water and in food. After pointing out that glyphosate has been found in agricultural workers’ blood and urine, the IARC determined that there is “limited evidence” in humans and “convincing evidence” in rats and mice that glyphosate causes non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and other cancers. Here in the U.S., our own Environmental Protection Agency determined in 2012 that glyphosate met statutory safety standards and could therefore continue to be used “without unreasonable risk to people or the environment.” Why the big difference? Surely it has nothing to do

Plant summer-blooming bulbs, rhizomes and tubers such as gladiolus, lilies, begonias and cannas late in the month. Flowers: Finish pruning established roses. Fertilize established roses every 4-6 weeks through July; do not fertilize newly planted roses. Do not use pre-emergent weed killer near roses because it damages their roots. Plant seed annuals such as cosmos, marigolds and zinnias. Move fuchsias and geraniums outdoors; cover if frost returns.

So let’s really consider the “problem” being solved here. When did apples become “inconvenient?” Apples come with their own skin to prevent browning. Apples can be bitten into whole by most people; easily cut into slices for others and also quickly sauced for those with no teeth at all. When sliced, a sprinkle of lemon juice will ward off browning. They have been a lunchbox staple, keeping the doctor away when eaten daily, for centuries.

Fruit trees and small fruits: If you have had problems with scab or mildew, spray apple trees with lime-sulfur or a multi-purpose fungicide spray registered for use on these diseases; follow product instructions carefully. Remove dead canes from raspberries (i.e., last year’s fruiting canes). Fertilize raspberries, blackberries and blueberries as buds swell with 5:10:10 fertilizer.

Wolves fastpitch batters foes SHS softball sweeps league games while track team does same vs. Olympic, P.A.

Sequim’s J.T. McElhose puts a shot on goal that curls just right of the net as the Wolves battle Port Angeles on March 28.

Sequim Gazette staff

Sequim fastpitch’s bats powered up again last week. The Lady Wolves defeated Klahowya 8-2 on March 25 and slammed their way past Bremerton 26-1 on March 27, both in Sequim. Versus the Eagles, Sequim fell behind 2-0 at the top of the first inning, but went ahead with three of their own in the bottom of the first to go ahead. Jordan Bentz and Kaylee Gumm led Sequim with two hits each, Bentz hitting a home run and recording three RBIs. Olivia Kirsch threw six strikeouts in seven innings in 76 pitches. Kirsch also led the hitting attack against the Knights last Friday going 4-4 with nine RBIs and Allysen Montelius hit 5-5 and recorded the win with only 47 pitches. Sequim coach Mike McFarlen said he’ll continue using a platoon of pitchers with Kirsch, Montelius, Bentz and Chloie Sparks. “I think it’s a good system for now,” he said. “It’s getting the girls some confidence. When the teams get tougher we’ll decide what to do.” Last week’s wins follow up two losses to Anacortes and Sehome on March 21. Since then, McFarlen said the girls all have stepped up their games a notch. “The hustle is there,” he said. “They seem a bit more focused.” This week, the Wolves (1-0 in league, 4-2 overall) traveled to North Kitsap on March 31 and host Olympic on April 2 during spring break before traveling to Black Hills on April 10.

Coach Joe Marvelle calls the Olympic Avalanche’s win in the sixth-grade division of the 23rd-annual Tulip Tournament last week the biggest in the program’s history. That’s saying a mouthful. The select girls basketball squad made up of athletes from Sequim, Port Angeles and other North Olympic Peninsula communities has racked up 10 titles and 14 championship appearances in 19 tournaments and an overall 67-13 record in the past two seasons. That team topped the 13-team sixth-grade girls division at the Tulip Tournament, an event that Marvelle said no Port Angelesbased team (boys or girls) has won the championship of any grade division in its history. “(I’m) extremely proud of these girls and how hard

Sequim’s baseball squad got a key, come-from-behind 8-7 win at Bremerton on March 27. The Wolves (1-0 in Olympic League play, 4-1 overall) scored five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to take a 7-6 lead. After the Knights evened the score in the top of the seventh, Sequim put two runners on with one out in the bottom half of the frame. Daniel Harker hit a ground ball to short and Wolves baserunner Evan Hurn wiped out a double play at the bag, allowing Dusty Bates to score from second base. Tanner Rhodefer, who pitched the first five innings, came back to strike out the final Bremerton batter with the bases loaded in the seventh inning. Harker had a two-run triple, Jake Sparks had a two-RBI single in the sixth and James Grubb went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored. Sequim saw a four-run lead evaporate

After Klahowya regained the lead with two runs in the fourth, Sequim tallied five runs in the fourth for an 8-4 advantage, capped by an RBI triple by Gavin Velarde. Sequim’s Grubb worked a 1-2-3 top of the fifth on the mound, but the visiting Eagles got to Wolves pitchers for five runs in the sixth inning and another two runs in the seventh. Eagle Nate Hough had a key two-run, pinch-hit single to put the Eagles ahead. Sequim rallied in the bottom of the seventh, putting two runners on before Klahowya recorded the final out.

Angeles edged the visiting Wolves 1-0 at Civic Field on March 28. “We had plenty of good chances,” Brasher said. “We totally dominated for 80 minutes but didn’t get the results. (You’ve) got to hand it to P.A. — they defended well.” Brasher said the Wolves had a shots advantage of about 25-6 but simply couldn’t put anything in the net. Sequim had mixed results in two previous matches during the week. Sequim fell to Kingston 2-0 at home on March 24 but topped North Kitsap a day later, 3-1.

A learning toy How good are you at math? When you put that question to many people, most probably will tell you that math isn’t their strongest subject. Way too many people are scared of math and avoid it. That includes many parents who convey this fear to their children and avoid talking about it with their child. Some people feel that boys are better at math than girls. Actually many teachers, especially women, feel they aren’t as good at math as they should be. As a result, some will spend less time teaching it and settle for less discussion about it in their classrooms. We even know that many pre-K teachers aren’t comfortable teaching math and science and that might contribute to their lack of support for math. Research shows that math scores have remained essentially unchanged since 2007. We know that girls who have male teachers or women who feel they are good at math as their teacher do better in math. If girls were really not as Parenting Matters good at math as boys, how could this be the case? Cynthia Martin In order to increase math scores for both boys and girls and keeping our country competitive, we all need to look at our attitudes toward math. We all need to become teachers of math and we need to have this happen when children are very young. We need to be encouraging ways to learn math not just to learn numbers. Young children learn by doing. They can’t just sit and listen. They need to learn using all their senses. They learn best when they play. That is what is absolutely wonderful about blocks. When a child plays with blocks, she learns about science as she balances what she is building. She learns math as she estimates in her thinking how many more blocks will fit in a specific space. Her literacy skills improve as she uses language to compare objects such as more, less, fewer or greater. Physical skills and social skills come with block play; the small body of the child is in constant motion as she plays with blocks. Social skills are developed as she plays with other children and learns to work together. None of this marvelous learning needs a label. It is all just part of what happens when a child plays with blocks. Today we know that playing with blocks is important, something we can build on and encourage, and a skill that can improve your child’s learning for many years to come. Playing with blocks isn’t just for preschool age children; it is for all ages. But we also have learned that we adults need to be involved. The adults who need to be involved are parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, teachers, neighbors and friends. These are the people in a child’s life who can present a positive view of math to the young child.

Get involved We in Sequim are fortunate to have another BLOCK Fest coming to Greywolf Elementary School on April 25. This is a chance for children to learn about math and science by using blocks. It is a chance to interact with other children to improve their social and vocabulary skills. It is even a chance to play while learning. It isn’t just for preschoolers; it’s for children up to the age of 8 or 9. It is for parents to learn how to encourage their children as they watch and work together. It is a chance for adults to compliment the child for her hard work to build the tower or the bridge. It is even a chance for the adult to ask questions which encourage learning such as “How did you make that corner?” or “I wondered what kind of animals would fit in the pen you made?” It is even a chance to help the child make mathematical guesses such as “How many more blocks do you think it will take before you get to the end?” But it also is a time for parents to become more familiar with mathematical terms such as length, weight or volume. Helping the child learn about sorting, getting higher, balance, narrow, curves, triangles and patterns is encouraging learning math. So come to Greywolf on Saturday, April 25, and learn about math and science. In one hour of playing, your child, girl or boy, will have a great beginning or a new lesson in math and science but so will you. Don’t miss it — call 5832-3300 to reserve your time. It’s great fun. Cynthia Martin is the founder of the First Teacher program and director of Parenting Matters Foundation, which publishes newsletters for parents, caregivers and grandparents.

HELEN HALLER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Here are poems from Rachel Oden’s fifth-grade class they wrote about their lives: Where I’m From by Raina O’Donnell I’m from a place where the air smells like dumpsters, where a couch sits on a muchstained floor, where you can hear the highways rumble. I’m from a screaming toddler, a rusty O’DONNELL playground in our front yard, and a field covered in 3-foot grass. I’m from where a “You can do it!” gets said, where a crazy dog barks constantly, and where adults are always going somewhere. I’m from the smell of fried chicken crawling through the air, where “best friend” means loyalty, where everyone’s room is always clean. I’m from a place where sunlight glows through windows, where the washing machine shakes the ground, and the cat is always hungry. I’m from a place where butterfly pictures decorate the walls, where the television is always on, where family and friends are always over. I’m from a place where everybody’s full, where kids play outside, and where homework is never finished. I’m from a place where the sound of a bouncing basketball echoes, where the table is covered with papers, and where the birds are never chirping. I’m from a place of love and loyalty.

SEQUIM GAZETTE

SEQUIM HIGH SCHOOL Some leadership students participated in a stakeholders input session on March 24 with a representative from the superintendent search firm. When asked what students felt the next superintendent needs to accomplish, they responded that funding is needed for facility needs at the high school buildings. In talking about what they liked about their school, they commented on how caring the teaching staff is and how they enjoy being able to connect well with their teachers. They like the small-town environment of Sequim, but they wish there were places to go where teenagers would have things to do.

The Sequim High School marching band was selected among all Heritage Festival participating school bands to participate in the Disneyland parade on March 21. Submitted photo

He has been working with the students in discovering their pulse and understanding the cardiovascular and respiratory system, but most important, what a healthy heart can do for them. A healthy heart and lungs can increase muscle strength and muscular endurance, lessen fatigue, prevent illnesses and improve the thinking process.

About 70 band students and 10 parent chaperones traveled to Anaheim, Calif., on March 18-22 to participate in the Heritage Festival competition. Adjudication was held at Sunny Hills High School in Fullerton and took place on March 21. The concert band/wind ensemble was awarded a gold standard and took first place in the 1A category. The percussion ensemble earned a gold standard and was the only entry in their category. The color guard was awarded a gold standard and was the only group to compete in their category. The jazz band earned a silver standard, and took second place among 1A competing schools. Pianist Eric Anderson (a junior) won the Maestro award, given to only a few students for outstanding solo performances with an ensemble. Ours was the only band from the Heritage Festival competitors to be selected to march in the Disneyland parade on March 20. The band is under the direction of Vern Fosket. Nancy Reis is the instructor for the color guard.

the thing he enjoys most when directing is the opportunity to witness the improvements that take place from the beginning to finish of a production and the character development, he said. Beyond his passion for directing, it was the audience that really drew Harwood to “Steel Magnolias” before and now once again. “This play is both tremendously funny and touching,” Harwood said. “We all love to laugh and you’ll be sure to laugh when watching this play.” The writing and the experiences projected from the stage appeal to everyone, he said. “The climactic last scene will have you crying one moment and falling out of your seat with laughter the next,” George McCormick wrote in a review of the 1991 production for the Sequim Gazette. “If you’ve ever wanted to eavesdrop on beauty shop gossip and chatter, this is your opportunity because the audience is the shop’s mirror and you’re part of the illusion of watching the action through one-way glass.” Like the past production of “Steel Magnolias,” the stage is set so the audience is looking face-to-face with the characters and right into Truvy’s beauty shop where the actresses actually wash and dry hair on stage as the story unfolds. The play runs April 3-19 with a preview night on April 2 and pay what you will night on April 9. No show will be held Easter Sunday, April 5. Reserved seating tickets for all regular performances are now on sale through the OTA box office.

The sea duck group includes some of the most spectacular and highly specialized of all waterfowl – harlequin and long-tailed ducks; and spectacled, king and common eiders.

Advance reservations required. OPAS, a partner of the Dungeness River Audubon Center, created BirdFest to help support the educational programs and operations of the center and Railroad Bridge Park. “Because the center and park receive no tax support, funding is provided by partner members and other generous donors,” says Eftin Strong, the BirdFest’s founder and life-time member of OPAS. “So BirdFest not only gets people outdoors for birding, it also helps with supporting the valuable River Center programs.” To learn more about the Olympic BirdFest, log onto www. olympicbirdfest.org or call the Dungeness River Audubon Center at 681-4076.
