Drought precautions under way in Clallam County Dry-year lease program aimed to conserve water by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Without a reservoir system and with little to no snowpack in the Olympic Mountains, officials with Washington Water Trust are in the

midst of spearheading a dry-year leasing program with funds from the Washington Department of Ecology. The program targets the last 30 days of the irrigation season, beginning mid-August, and is intended as a mechanism to conserve water and

maintain surface water flows. To offset the cost of irrigating during the late season, Washington Water Trust officials have $200,000 to pay willing water users. “We’ve had some interest already,” Amanda Cronin, Washing-

ton Water Trust project manager, said. “We would like to lease as many acres as possible. The Dungeness Valley is one of, if not the largest area, to rely on irrigation and surface water in Western Washington, Cronin said. Within the valley an estimated 5,700 irrigated acres are under the Dungeness Water Users Association.

In collaboration with members of Dungeness Water Users Association, Washington Water Trust personnel mailed 53 solicitations for the volunteer lease program, Cronin said. Any bids for the program are due today, April 15, to the Washington Water Trust.

I hear that familiar song line often as a dentist. It is not about breaking up and broken hearts. It is about broken teeth and missing parts. Soooo, why is it that a tooth can be painless and trouble-free for years and then all of a sudden it hurts? As in so many areas of life, things that function well can be surreptitiously destroyed. Rust, cancer, disaffection and decay can all proceed unnoticed in a fully functioning organism. We cannot expect to be warned by symptoms. So oil your car, get a medical exam, tend to human relationships and see your dentist to make sure your dental health is truly good.

Sequim’s Old Iron fans revved up their tractors and readied their horses to help stir up some dirt at the Pumpkin Patch on April 11 for the ninth annual Plow Day. Participants tilled about 12 acres for Theresa Lassila, who runs the farm, while spectators watched, heard engines zoom, went on hay rides and bought lunch from the Sequim FFA. Dana Davis, who brought three tractors of his own to run and display, said about 10 drivers helped plow all for free for the second year at the farm. “We’d like to keep doing it,” he said. “We want to preserve this nice open space.” Tractors and plows ranged in type and age.

Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center’s main pool will close Sunday, April 26, through Monday, May 25, for maintenance. The center’s shallow pool, hot tub, dry sauna and steam room also are scheduled to close temporarily May 5-25. All closures of the pool area are to allow for preventative care and maintenance, including painting the pool. “It’s more then just painting,” Scott Deschenes, SARC executive director, said. “When you repaint, you’re creating an impermeable shell in the pool that protects its structural integrity.” Because the pool is made of concrete and is therefore porous, it’s “key” to keep the paint in good condition and it’s nearly been eight years since the pool has been repainted, he said. It also keeps algae from growing in unprotected areas and threatening water quality. Although, under ideal conditions a pool should repainted about every three to five years, Deschenes

admits they’ve been playing catch-up from other priorities also requiring funds and attention. “Instead of spending tens of thousands to repair the pool if it were damaged, we’re spending a couple of thousand now,” Deschenes said. For those attending water classes with 30-day passes, a credit will be DESCHENES given for any missed pool use by extending the pass past its expiration. Also, via a partnership with William Shore Memorial Pool officials, annual pass-holders from SARC can attend the Port Angeles pool with their SARC card or driver’s license for verification. During pool, hot tub, dry sauna and steam room closures, the rest of SARC is to remain open as usual. For more information about the upcoming closures, contact Leslee Francis, SARC special assistant and KidZone supervisor, at 683-3344 ext. 14.

Jones said, given state law limits county officials’ ability to give or gift general taxpayer monies to such organizations. Although no action has been taken, possible support grants may include those for Olympic Medical Center and Forks Community Hospital, as well as setting aside a portion of funds open via request by any organization that can set up and operate an emergency utility payment program for those below the federal poverty level, for example. Other community-centric services the excess funds may be used for include increasing the general public’s access to the courthouse and providing support for veterans and the Homeless Task Force. “By doing these types of things over the next six months, I’m a little better than 50/50 that we could see a real positive result long-term in the county,” Jones said. In reviewing the 2015 budget, Jones identified the $2.51 million as money potentially available for such a wide array of investments with the shared goal to kick start what’s hoped to be long-term economic growth. The funds, he cautiously refers to as “excess,” are primarily a result of unanticipated revenue from timber sales, increased sales tax from the road construction on U.S. Highway 101 between Sequim and Port Angeles and closure of two criminal justice accounts. “These are one-time in and onetime out funds,” Jones said. “We have these funds now, but I don’t anticipate having them again anytime in the future. Instead of saving it, maybe it can be a chance to make a difference.” Because Clallam County is the only county left in the state without non-voter debt, Jones said, the county is able to spend its funds on services for the people, instead of paying off outstanding debt. To be able to develop a spending strategy for the excess general funds is a “very unique” thing and nothing like it has been done at least during the nine years Jones has been with the county, he said.

From page A-1

the unincorporated county from 8.4 percent to 8.2 percent. Given the lowered tax rate, Clallam County Administrator Jim Jones anticipates the tax holiday to equate to nearly $500,000 in direct savings by taxpayers throughout the course of six months. “I think we’re on the cusp of potential for some real positive economic things to happen right now in Clallam County,” Jones said. “That is, if we can push that and tip it to the positive side … if we don’t, then I’m afraid we’re in a downward spiral.” Throughout the past couple of weeks Jones and County Commissioners Mike Chapman, Jim McEntire and Bill Peach have been discussing how to best spend the $2.51 million in excess general funds and slowly a multi-prong approach has begun to take form. Along with a tax holiday, commissioners, with Chapman abstaining, approved $150,000 in general funds to be allocated toward the Economic Development Council in hopes of improving the nonprofit’s efficiency and effectiveness. While $500,000 of the excess general funds is now earmarked to offset the anticipated tax holiday and $150,000 for the Economic Development Council, the remainder of the money still is up for discussion, but plans have begun to “take shape,” Jones said. According to a recommendation prepared by Jones, a large portion of the money is tentatively earmarked for unfunded capital projects that would contribute to local economic development. Specifically, an estimated $1.5 million is intended for the design, engineering and installation of repairing or replacing the failing transport lines in the Clallam Bay/Sekiu sewer system. “It’s important this gets done sooner rather than later,” McEntire said. “If it fails, it would cost far more.” Jones’ recommendation also aims to support nonprofits that are helping the community, but it’s “more Reach Alana Linderoth at difficult to legally accomplish,” alinderoth@sequimgazette.com.

Mechanics on a mission Business’ goals are honest work, fair prices, good customer service BY PATRICIA MORRISON COATE Sequim Gazette

Integrity — according to the dictionary, is “the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles.” It wasn’t just a catchy name that owners/mechanics Alex Walberg and Evan Stamp settled on for their new business, Integrity Automotive in Carlsborg. It’s part and parcel of their business philosophy. The two young entrepreneurs — Stamp is 23 and Walberg is 28 — after having a combined 22 years working as mechanics in other area automotive shops, opened at 81 Hooker Road on March 1 with these objectives in mind: honest work at a fair price with good customer service. “We wanted to do our own thing because we’ve been friends for 10 years,” Walberg said. “We want to run our shop our way. We’ve both seen good shops and bad shops and we intend to provide good, fair service to the community and have fun doing it. Evan is well-known as a topnotch diagnostics guy. Other shops sometimes call us with questions.” “First and foremost, it’s our

Owners/mechanics Evan Stamp, left, and Alex Walberg of Integrity Automotive in Carlsborg invite people to come in for a chat about their automotive needs. Sequim Gazette photo by Patricia Morrison Coate

diagnostic abilities. Diagnosing a car properly is an art gone by the wayside,” Stamp said. “There is only a handful of mechanics on the peninsula that can diagnose a car properly without wasting the customer’s time and money.” “If it doesn’t need it, we’re not going to do it,” Walberg added. “We have one of the most advanced computer scanners there is and we can plug it into about 90 percent of vehicles made.” The pair offer complete foreign and domestic vehicle repair and they also work on

diesel engines. “A lot of people don’t have a good diesel guy,” Walberg noted. Because they feel vehicle manufacturers are doing a lackluster job of providing information on how they make their vehicles so mechanics can fix them, Integrity Automotive subscribes to an online service for detailed schematics in order to trace problems not explained by the manufacturer. The shop’s specialty, they say, rises a notch above repairs to increasing perfor-

mance and customization. “If you want your car to go faster, get better fuel mileage and handling or want a custom street rod, we’ll do it,” Walberg said. “If you want it lowered to the ground or raised to the sky, we can do it. We have a reputation for customizing. Recently, we

did a $20,000 custom rod.” “We will do everything from oil changes to engine swaps and transmission work, all the way up to heavy diagnostics,” Stamp said. “The scanner doesn’t tell me how to fix it but where to look.” Communicating with customers and translating the language of automotives to laymen is one of the challenges, the Sequim natives said. “It requires a lot of really good communication because the customers don’t have the knowledge of how to describe different noises but between each other, Evan and I understand what each one means — grinding means a specific sound and ticking means another,” Walberg said. “Another thing I’ve seen is a customer will bring their vehicle in for a specific problem and then rattle off a bunch of other stuff they want to have checked,” Stamp explained. “Some shops will fix the other things but not address the problem they came in for. It’s very important you always address what their original complaint was and repair it first.” Walberg and Stamp, who have an easy rapport, say the best part of their jobs is the

mental stimulation of problem solving with wrenches in their hands. “At the end of the day, the satisfaction of doing what I love to do and people being happy is all we really want,” Stamp said, “and we get to spend our time doing what we want to do. We didn’t do this to get rich but because we want to be the ones designating how it’s done, to be fair and honest with customers and do the best work for our customers and our community. We want to develop a level of trust with our customers so they know they’re getting their money’s worth every time, all the time.” Walberg summed up more of their philosophy, saying, “We want people to know what we’re doing and what we’re capable of. We want to get our name out there, to tell people but not to yell it. Word will get around. And finally, we won’t trash other shops because that’s not professional and not the way we want run our business.”

Clallam County Treasurer Selinda Barkhuis is reminding Clallam County property owners that firsthalf property taxes for 2015 are due by Thursday, April 30. Property tax payments must be postmarked or dropped off at the Clallam County Courthouse (223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles) by that date. Mail dropped in a U.S. postal mailbox after the post office pickup time may result in a postmark of May 1 and will be considered delinquent. There are no longer any drop-off locations in Forks and Sequim; the only dropoff location that remains is in the circular drive at the Clallam County Courthouse. The Treasurer’s Office accepts most credit and debit cards, either at the Treasurer’s Office counter or online at www. clallam.net/Treasurer. A convenience fee will be charged by the credit and/ or debit card provider. Payments postmarked or dropped off at the county courthouse after April 30 are considered delinquent and subject to 1 percent delinquent interest. On June 1, an additional 1 percent interest and 3 percent penalty are charged. To access property tax information online, select “Property Search” in the lefthand column on the home page of the county’s website at www.clallam.net. For more information, call the Treasurer’s Office at 417-2344.

Gladys exemplified the love of Christ in her actions and words, always. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, mother-in-law and friend to all. Gladys was born September 25, 1928 in Moxee, Washington to Charles August Schmidt and Mary Florence Cavin Schmidt, the youngest of seven children. She married David “Wayne” Waterbury on May 21, 1948 at the First Reformed Church just a quarter mile north of the old Moxee Central School, where they first met as children. Gladys and Wayne were married for 67 years. She is survived by Wayne and her sons Bradley (Kim) and David (Corinne) Waterbury and daughter Wende (Wayne) Richardson as well as grandchildren Megan Colyar (Kale), Lauren Waterbury and Bryan and Tyler (Dannielle) Richardson. Her greatgrandchildren are Aleighia and Sawyer Colyar. Gladys was a hard worker, starting with her family’s hop fields as a child, in a cannery as a young mother and finally as office manager in an Orthodontist’s office, where she worked for 25 years. When Wayne retired from the Washington State Patrol Gladys retired with him. They enjoyed their trailer club, the Yakima Crickets, the Elks Club and socializing with their many friends and relatives. Gladys grew up attending the First Reformed Church in Moxee. She and Wayne moved off the farm to Yakima in 1955, then moved to Sequim in 1995 where they attended the Sequim Presbyterian Church. When Gladys became too ill to go to church she spent Sunday morning watching TV services, what she called “church in a chair.” Gladys and Wayne’s final move was on Thanksgiving 2014, to Brookdale, a retirement community two miles from David and Corinne’s house in Newberg, Oregon. After a two-year bout with cancer, Gladys died peacefully at home on March 24th, 2015. She is now residing in a penthouse in heaven. Services are scheduled for 11 a.m., April 17, 2015 at the Rainer Center at Terrace Heights Memorial Cemetery, Yakima.

SEQUIM GAZETTE

A Metropolitan Park District for Sequim: What problem are we solving? Recently there has been a community discussion regarding proposals to submit to the voters for their approval a Metropolitan Park District (MPD). In my view the problem we need to solve is that parks and recreation services and facilities in the Sequim community are under f unded Guest and do not meet O pinion current needs or expectations. Steve Burkett This includes the traditional services such as city parks, a swimming pool, youth sports, educational enrichment activities, walking and biking paths for exercise, recreation, and transportation, recreation fa-

cilities and active recreation such as tennis and pickleball. Recently it has become apparent that the board of Park District No. 1 of Clallam County representing the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center (SARC) and the Sequim City Council, while sharing a similar goal to solve this problem, have proposed conflicting visions of an MPD. Basically, SARC supports an August ballot issue to create an MPD narrowly focused on continuing the operation of the current swimming pool and recreation center, while the city council wants to propose a broader scope of services for an MPD that would meet community needs in addition to SARC’s swimming pool and recreation facility needs. We have been told by the SARC board members that they cannot

See CITY, A-11

A vote for SARC is a vote for community In a perfect world, with sunshine and lavender aplenty, the Dungeness Valley already would have a broad, user-based Metropolitan Park District. It would make good economic and practical sense to partner with the county and City of Sequim, along with other users of recreational activities throughout the district, like the Guest senior center, Opinion pickleball, tennis and soccer players and oth- Susan Sorensen ers. But we do not live in a perfect world right now. The Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center is about to go broke and will close if we don’t have a mechanism to increase taxes in the district this year.

The SARC board of directors is asking the community to support the formation of a Metropolitan Park District. This action requires signatures on a petition to place a referendum on the August ballot. Citizens for SARC are well on their way to submitting the 3,500 required signatures to the county auditor by the May 8 deadline. The benefits of forming a Metro would be immediate. It would give the newly elected board the authority to levy a small tax of 12 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation to property owners in the district. This would prevent SARC from closing its doors in 2016. Passage of the referendum would require 50 percentplus-one to pass and would not have to be voted on by the voters every few years. This is unlike the fire district, library, hospital and school district which periodically have to ask the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Trusting us I stood outside SARC to gather voters’ support on the petitions for the (SARC) August ballot because we are many signatures short. Hopeful people arrived at SARC. All were hopeful to improve the quality of their lives with exercise. SARC is about our friends trusting us as a community to allow them this hope for a healthier future. Many people can only remain healthy by exercising in a pool and the large number of classes and ways to exercise at SARC give others a chance to follow their own exercise abilities. Children need a pool to learn to swim in for future safety. The value of our homes and property depend on good schools, First Responders, medical care, roads and recreational facilities. Each Yes vote for SARC will matter in August. Barb Paschal Sequim

MPD equals taxes at will As a taxpayer and senior, the culture of mismanagement at SARC is more than a bit concerning. If the new plan, the Municipal Park (Metropolitan Park District) referendum, passes, we forever give up our right to vote on new tax levies and SARC can tax us at will with no further justification. We will never again be able to use our vote to stop the drain. Then there is still no guarantee that the facility will be managed any better, with any more accountability to the taxpayers. Please help raise awareness of what this really means to taxpayers. Kathleen Oliver Sequim

Put MPD on August ballot SARC has been a key community asset for the greater Sequim area for 26 years. It is a public aquatic and recreation center, built with taxpayer support. It generates 80 percent of its revenue through pass-holder fees — 15 percent more than similar community recreation facilities anywhere in the U.S. But for nearly half its existence it hasn’t had any of the supplemental public funding such facilities require. Major capital expenses can no longer be deferred and now threaten SARC’s ability to continue serving the community it was built for — and the money we invested in building it. Having a Metropolitan Park District (MPD) with a

Loss of a landmark We lost a landmark in the valley this past week in the windstorm. The landmark of which I speak was the large maple on the west side of Cays Road. I know a lot of the history of that maple as my wife, Glenda Dickinson, grew up under its branches. It was planted in 1898, the year Glenda’s father, John R. Dickinson, was born. It was planted by Sarah Dickinson, Glenda’s grandmother, to commemorate her son’s birth. The old maple has seen many family events under its branches: picnics, picture taking, sleepovers with tents and sleeping bags. There was a swing on the lower branch and a treehouse further up in the tree. Dozens, if not a few hundred, of kids climbed its branches and there were many carved initials placed there by people who are long gone. It too is now gone but not forgotten. It served its purpose well as a landmark which meant home to the Dickinson family for many years. Robert J. Clark Sequim

How did our state lawmakers vote? Senate Bill 5077, proposed 2015-2017 state operating budget This is the Senate’s proposed $38 billion spending plan for the 2015-2017 biennium. It includes increases in basic education funding in response to the McCleary court decision, smaller class sizes in grades K-3, a 25-percent cut in tuition at public colleges and universities, and a $2,000 raise over the next two years for every state employee. The Senate-passed plan uses the projected $3 billion in extra revenue the state will receive to increase spending without imposing new taxes. Passed the Senate on April 6,by a vote of 26-23 Sen.

SARC estimates that its reserve fund will be depleted by that time. I think we all agree that the community needs an indoor pool and the services provided by SARC. Closing the pool is not an acceptable option. SARC needs a short-term and long-term solution to solve its operating deficit. One short-term solution might be to place a property tax levy for one-year only on the Aug. 4 ballot. A one-year levy may be more successful than the six-year levy proposed on the February 2014 ballot. If this were approved by the voters, it could extend the SARC funding through 2017. This would provide some time for SARC to work with the city and others in the community to fashion a more thoughtful, broader solution to our parks and recreation service needs.

It also would provide some $640 million for repairs to Seattle’s Alaskan Way Viaduct. The bill was sent to the Senate, which is proposing a plan that is about $320 million less. House Democrats also are expected to unveil a tax and fee proposal next week to raise more than $15 billion for transportation projects through the year 2031.

It prohibits institutions from establishing different disciplinary processes for

State law provides for an MPD as a new local government that has many of the same powers that the city, county, current SARC, school district and other local governments possess. These powers include the power to levy property taxes, condemn property, issue bonds and other debt. The city and SARC agree voter approval of a new MPD could be a good long-term solution; however this is where we differ. SARC is proposing to place on the ballot in August an MPD that would support only the current pool and recreation center operated by SARC. The city prefers a more thoughtful and inclusive approach that will meet the broader parks and recreation needs in the community as expressed by members of the community in citizen surveys and at recent city council meetings. The institutions in the community that currently provide parks and recreationtype community services that could be funded by a broadly based MPD include SARC, the Boys & Girls Club, the Shipley Center, the school district, youth athletic groups and

others. It also could provide facilities for biking, walking, tennis, pickleball and other high-priority activities. The city proposes to engage these groups and others in a conversation about unmet community needs. This would allow time for all interests to be considered and for a proposal to be crafted through an exchange of ideas and compromises. If there is a consensus about these needs and solutions, the city would work with the Clallam County commissioners, as is provided for in state law, to place a broad-based MPD proposal on the ballot in February 2016. The creation of a new government with significant property taxing authority and the other powers it would possess is a serious policy issue that deserves a thorough debate before it is submitted to the voters. We think this approach gives the voters a choice to save SARC in the short term and to consider approving funding for a broad range of needed services in addition to a pool. Steve Burkett is city manager for the City of Sequim.

From page A-10 voters to support their activities by running a levy. Unfortunately, the City of Sequim has suddenly pulled out the stops to derail our plan and is advocating for a broader and more expensive Metropolitan Park District. While we do understand the need to have a more inclusive Metropolitan Park District in the Dungeness Valley in the future, we don’t believe the city should be working against SARC’s efforts at this late date. This only serves to confuse the voters and the ultimate result likely would be that neither effort would pass muster. The city has made no financial commitment to SARC and yet they say that SARC or the city should be able to find the money to keep the doors open thus preventing its closure next year. Where will they get the funds to do that and why aren’t they sharing that information with SARC if they believe it to be true?

Is this a rob Peter to pay Paul suggestion? While we are appreciative of the city’s letter of support to the county for funding SARC’s request for Opportunity Grant Funds to purchase a new air handler for the pool, that money will not ease our cash flow problems. It can only be used for capital expenses, not dayto-day operational costs. It will however, allow us to begin the replacement process of the air handler sooner than anticipated and with a shorter time frame for installation. SARC has existed for over 30 years and serves the entire Dungeness Valley community with a population of 30,000 residents. There is no single public mixeduse facility of this type in the United States that balances its budget without voter support. Our position is to continue on our path toward victory on Aug. 4 to form our own Metropolitan Park District, with five newly elected commissioners, which would allow SARC to remain open with no fear of closure.

In the meantime, we encourage the city and the county to work together with stakeholders, and the community at large, to develop a reasonable and affordable proposal to put forward to the voters in the future. At that point, the dust will have settled wit h SARC’s financial crisis and the community may be ready to pay for something larger. We encourage all eligible citizens who reside within the school district boundaries to consider running for one of the five open seats on the new Metropolitan Park Board. The county auditor will call a “special filing period” after our signatures have been validated. SARC needs your help. What happens next will be up to the voters. We appreciate the outpouring of support we have received and are counting on you to vote Yes on Aug. 4. Susan Sorensen is chair for the Citizens for SARC group.

board of commissioners newly elected from the public at large and focused exclusively on SARC will allow us to save and improve this essential community resource. The proposed assessment of 12 cents per $1,000 of assessed property valuation would generate about $2.5 million over six years and ensure that SARC remains open and accessible to all. It’s time to preserve and protect the investment we made almost 30 years ago. It’s time to take a mature, responsible approach to ensuring SARC’s longterm financial soundness and its ability to serve all the community. A SARC MPD would accomplish these goals. I urge all registered voters within the Sequim School District, which shares the boundaries of the proposed Metropolitan Park District, to sign the petition now being circulated to put this measure on the ballot in August — and to vote yes when it is.

Let’s work together for SARC I attended the city council meeting Monday night, March 23. It appears SARC and the city are at loggerheads over the issue of a Metropolitan Park District. My observation was that everyone in the room agreed that SARC is an integral part of Sequim. Everyone wanted to save SARC and put it on a more secure financial footing. What was missing was trust and agreement on a way forward. I avail myself of SARC via a punch card. I support SARC. But I’m uncomfortable with SARC’s current effort to utilize the vehicle of a Metropolitan Park District (MPD) to resolve its financial woes. I believe SARC is pursuing an MPD out of desperation, not because it is the best option but simply because a lower voter threshold is required. I wish the supporters of the current strategy would look outside the walls of SARC and consider that the way others recreate outside those walls is just as important as those who recreate within the walls of SARC. An MPD is a way to address the needs and a broader recreational purpose throughout the district boundaries than just SARC. SARC is only one scene in the overall picture of healthy activity in Sequim.

At the meeting, the council was accused of not leading, of taking too much time. Valid reasons were given for not moving forward with an MPD since it was first discussed by the city years ago. But then the council acted to postpone the resolution before them for 2-4 weeks, without identifying a process to move the dialogue along. Time is of the essence and waiting one to two years for the city to develop a plan and present an MPD to the voters is unresponsive. SARC can’t be faulted for scrambling to find a way out of its pickle. SARC says there’s no reason the MPD created by them could not be expanded once created. The city wants to fully develop a plan before presenting an MPD to the voters. But, there’s no reason why the city couldn’t take the initiative, present a broader MPD to the voters and then sequentially add in recreational components. We find time to do what is important to us. There’s a solution here that would save SARC but also widen the base of support for an MPD by involving the wider community who recreate in areas outside of SARC. Can’t we all just work together toward that solution? JoAnne Yerkes Sequim

Losing program a shame Regarding “Natural Resources program faces its final year” (Sequim Gazette, April 1, page A-1): Amazing. They finally have a successful high school course that teaches kids handson skills in the field. Valuable skills kids are excited about that could provide immediate employment after high school and they are cutting the program. A course that gets young people in the field, breathing fresh air, getting exercise in nature and they are cutting the program because of numbers. Not numbers of students from what I could tell, but numbers the schools need for their records (“not enough hours”). Funny thing about those numbers, too, so much of the time in school is spent managing people, behavior and skill level. I wouldn’t doubt that kids in the natural resources program by choice are more motivated and learning more real life skills than their counterparts in classrooms for the same amount of time. So sad — accountability over real life learning. Lauralee DeLuca Sequim

Schools still need classrooms

The Sequim School District needs community support to make space for more classrooms by approving a school construction bond. Raising the standard of education by having more classrooms and smaller class sizes is the issue at hand. According to the Center of Public Education, small class sizes (15-17 students) have long-term positive effects for young children especially during grades K-3. In the 1980s, Tennessee’s Project Star conducted a four-year research study that showed that small class sizes improve academic achievement and the results are long-term and predict higher scores on the Stanford Academic Tests (SATs). Furthermore, it was found that the children most affected when class sizes are lowered are low-income children, minority children and girls. A large chunk of the Sequim School District student population is eligible for the free and reduced lunches through the National School Lunch Program. At my daughter’s kindergarten orientation at Helen Haller Elementary School last summer, Principal Russ Lodge stated that more than 50 percent of the elementary students qualified. Low-income students in Sequim could benefit most significantly from community support of a bond to fund classroom construction, because smaller class sizes would directly increase their aptitude for success. In 2014, Initiative 1351 to reduce classroom sizes was passed by Washington voters, proving the majority wants to see tax money funneled to schools for this purpose. Additionally, the Supreme Court’s McCleary Decision will hold the state to its constitutional promise to fully fund public education in Washington by 2018. Funding for educational expenses like staff and supplies will be coming to the Sequim School District by law, but for the remodeling or rebuilding of school facilities the community must approve a school construction bond by a 60 percent majority vote. Money for the salaries of additional teachers, textbooks and technology will do little good without classrooms. Amalia Baker Sequim

Alternatively, humans may do everything through voice recognition which will result in little evolutionary change since humans will talk less voice to voice. My final prediction is that human eyes will become keener and slightly bulbous to accommodate all the checking and rechecking.

Keeping the faith Don’t believe me? I don’t blame you; it’s not a pretty picture except the hand part. I have to have faith that humans will modify destructive trends, especially those that weaken us. If that isn’t incentive enough, I believe people will begin to monitor the time they spend on app gadgets as soon as they realize their kids are being raised by apps. Besides, coinciding with the app explosion is the explosion of fitness devices that will report to you just how well you are nourishing and exercising your body. That’s the app I have. I have the simplest version of a Fitbit and retrieve my data through my computer. This app gadget I call an electronic version of a personal trainer has helped me make important changes for my health. So this old fogy can adapt somewhat, but don’t expect too much. Time is precious and I don’t want to spend the time turning my lifestyle inside out. And I certainly don’t want an app telling me how to brush my teeth; been there, done that with a mother. Bertha D.

Tribe seeks trestle repair by summer CC Insurance to cover ‘as is condition’ by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

A long-term design and permanent reconstruction remain a thing of the future for the damaged trestle at Railroad Bridge Park, but the possibility of a more immediate repair by summer still is on the table. Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal officials are “considering” using insurance proceeds to potentially open through traffic across the Dungeness River via the bridge and adjoining trestle by summer, Annette Nesse, the tribe’s chief operating officer, said. Although Nesse still is waiting to determine the

Through traffic across the western portion of the trestle at Railroad Bridge Park has yet to occur since flood conditions in early February forced the Dungeness River to shift from its main channel and erode six pilings from the river bottom, causing the remaining structure and a portion of the deck to collapse.

exact level of coverage and the deductible amount, the tribe’s property insurance will cover the cost to repair the structure to its previous “as is condition,” she said. However, instead of repairing the damaged structure with outdated materials such as

the creosote pilings, more modern material such as steel likely would be used. Possible limitations to fixing trestle by summer include permitting, as some work within the water is necessary, and scheduling around periods of increased

fish activity, Nesse explained. Despite the possible time and permit constraints, if tribe officials are able to direct the insurance proceeds toward a more timely fix, Nesse said it would allow them the time needed to further explore a more permanent and modern design. “The old design lasted 100 years and we want another design to last at least 100 years or more, but we don’t think the current design is the best approach,” she said. Since the flood conditions in early February and the damage to the trestle, it has been closed to through traffic causing Olympic Discovery Trail users to use alternative routes. Because of this, Powell Jones, executive director of the Dungeness River Audubon Center, said he’s noticed a “visible drop-off in visitors” to the park, which is operated by the Dungeness Audubon River Center and

its partners, the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society and Audubon Washington. Although the park is open and free to the public, the reduction in usage can impact it because donations and new members often are gained by visitors coming through the door and simply exposure to the park, Jones said. “Obviously the damaged trestle makes an impact. Without the bridge there just isn’t as much traffic,” he said. “The important thing is to get the community resource back.” Given the dynamic nature of a river system such as that of the Dungeness River’s, Nesse explained instead of just a trail repair project, a new trestle design also could be geared toward enhancing river habitat by better suiting the river environment. Already, Nesse anticipates a “positive response” from

Drought From page A-1

By the end of the month Washington Water Trust officials will respond to bids and accepted contracts between water users and the water trust are to be finalized. Once participating water users cease irrigating on Aug. 15, Cronin and her colleagues will monitor the leased acres. While local farmers are faced with managing little water for their crops, officials with the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe also are preparing for the drought and the possible impacts it could bring. “We’re thinking about surface flows,” Scott Chitwood, natural resources director for the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, said. “What influences groundwater influences surface flow and vice versa.” From Chitwood’s perspective, the main concern with the predicted drought is the diminished ability for adult salmonids to travel upstream and restricted amount of usable habitat for juvenile salmonids. “If the river forecasts are accurate, we’ll probably be looking at flows less than 50 cfs (cubic foot per second) which is probably the lowest anyone alive today has ever

organized event after 19 years during Lavender Weekend. Instead, the four farms — Jardin du Soleil, Lost Mountain Lavender, Olympic Lavender Heritage Farm and Washington Lavender — will open as their own festivals during the weekend. So far, Jardin du Soleil will charge an admission per person, Washington Lavender per carload, Lost Mountain will not charge and Olympic Lavender is yet to be determined. In December, the SLFA announced it was planning on a fixed rate per carload for all of the farms. They still are dropping their Lavender in the Park event next to Carrie Blake Park on that weekend though. Jordan Schiefen, owner of Jardin du Soleil and president of the SLFA, said these farms are looking to promote the lavender experience all summer. “The misconception of the public is that Sequim lavender is only that weekend,” she said. “It’s really about the whole experience all summer.” In an effort to promote this mentality, the SLFA is putting together a driving guide they opened up to all lavender farmers in the area, which includes some independent farms and farms with the Sequim Lavender Growers Association. Marco Hermosillo, coowner of Olympic Lavender, said the SLFA’s focus always has been on promoting lavender all summer. “The weekend is just part of

what we do,” he said. “What I’m doing now is for the whole summer. That weekend is where I do a little bit more.” Schiefen said much of her efforts were put into Lavender Weekend, too. To promote the all-summer mindset, the SLFA now requires members must be open at least from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

High stakes But now Schiefen and a new generation of lavender farmers are finding the stakes are high for Sequim’s lavender industry. Originators of the Sequim Lavender Festival and Growers Association left the organization over “philosophical and administrative differences” in January 2011 to start the Sequim Lavender Farmers Association. Three of the four farms’ owners purchased their farms after the split. “We didn’t realize the focus was on that weekend,” Schiefen said. “I own a business that depends on people coming to this area but it’s all so intertwined. There’s so much importance placed on it. So many people who rely on it (Lavender Weekend) to succeed. Everybody relies on it to keep going.” Since Schiefen purchased Jardin du Soleil with her husband, Paul, several lavender farms have closed. “In order for new people like me to succeed, we can’t find where to fit. We can’t find the support,” she said. “We’re being tasked to mend everything that’s happened in the past five years. We had no idea

that this was the politics we were getting into it.” The Schiefens have tried new approaches though. They started the Jungible Festival, a music festival at their farm, two years ago but decided not to pursue a third year. “Unfortunately, it did not grow,” Jordan Schiefen said. “We had the same numbers both years. We weren’t looking to make any money but we can’t lose money.” Schiefen said the entertainment industry here is a tricky market. “People say they want things and all these activities to make our community great but when it comes down to it, such as with Jungible Festival, there aren’t enough people here.”

Different mindsets While the SLFA looks to expand through the summer, the Sequim Lavender Growers Association seems set focusing on the weekend of the Sequim Lavender Festival, which centers on its free, smaller farms tour and Street Fair on Fir Street. Mary Jendrucko, president and executive director of the Sequim Lavender Festival and the SLGA, said the Lavender Festival “is going to be what it’s going to be.” “That’s what I do. I work hard for that weekend. It’s our money-maker,” Jendrucko said. “Most importantly, it’s here to promote Sequim and what we have here all the time.” Jendrucko said their issue is that they’ve been told before the Lavender Festival

ready for drought response strategies is available. Throughout the summer months Chitwood and his staff will focus on the Dungeness River and evaluate whether they need to enlist extra help to adjust riffles within the river to better allow fish passage,

will peak. “People like the street and hard surface but we can only have so many vendors there,” she said. “It’s a well-respected show but we’ve been told it’s a two-lane highway and there’s only so many people who can come in but the hotels and B&Bs are booked every year and the people are still coming.” As for the split, Jendrucko said it’s old news. “The word split, I don’t like to say it anymore. It’s so old,” she said. “We’re running our farms how we want and they are how they want. We want to be copacetic. Everyone has moved on. There’s room enough for everybody. Good grief, look at how many pharmacies are in town.” Previously, the SLGA reached out to Jardin du Soleil, Lost Mountain and Olympic Lavender a few times to join them, but they declined. In December, the two associations’ leadership met for dinner but no collaborations are reported at this time. The City of Sequim continues its collaboration of Lavender Weekend promoting lavender events and others to create a cohesive program for visitors. Jendrucko said visitors and locals know the routine mostly now for Lavender Weekend. “We’re all here to promote Sequim lavender. That doesn’t mean you have to have an ad together,” she said. “We want to do whatever is best for the lavender groups and we want people to know who is charging and not so

the Salmon Recovery Funding Board in reaction to a more environment-friendly river crossing. To engineer and update the trestle, Nesse estimates the long-term design to cost about $1.8 million. Managed by the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office, the Salmon Recovery Funding Board created in 1999 by the state Legislature provides grants to protect or restore salmon habitat and assist related activities. Nesse hopes to have more details from the tribe’s insurance company within the next couple of weeks and then will be able to move forward with the project’s next steps. “We’re really hoping to get the river crossing open this summer,” she said.

for example. Following the summer, the tribe turns its attention more toward smaller streams such as Jimmycomelately Creek. During past droughts, Clallam County officials have taken measures, such as permit restrictions, in response to dry conditions, but no action has taken place yet, Mary Ellen Winborn, Clallam County Department of Community Development director, said. “We know it’s (drought) an issue,” she said. Winborn plans to be participate in a community drought forum still being planned but anticipated to occur Thursday, May 21. The Olympic Peninsula was among three regions in the state that Gov. Jay Inslee declared drought-stricken in mid-March. To manage the challenges of far below average snowpack and thus water supply, DOE officials have a request into the Legislature for $9 million for drought relief, Dan Partridge, communications manager for DOE’s Water Resources Program, said. The relief funds, similar to those being allocated for the dry-year leasing program, may be used for agricultural and fisheries projects, emergency water-right permits, changes to existing water rights and grant water-right transfers.

(visitors) aren’t annoyed.” As of now, the city requires the two associations to share their information for the Lavender Weekend’s website visitsunnysequim.com and pamphlets. Jendrucko said as an association the SLGA as a whole won’t join SLFA’s driving guide because they have their own but their farms are allowed to participate individually. “We’re not here to tell our farms how to run their business,” she said. One big difference between the two associations, Jendrucko said, is that many of the Growers Association are mostly drawing a retirement from a previous career. Sadly, two of its farms founders died in the past year including Claudine Oliver of Oliver’s Lavender Farm and Harry Nelson of Nelson’s Duckpond & Lavender Farm. Jendrucko said Nelson’s remains open and Oliver’s will be open through the summer. But on the bright side, they’ve added Fat Cat Garden & Gifts, off Cays Road, to its free tour and will host a street dance on July 18 in the evening at the Street Fair.

Haze Daze The pioneering lavender farm Purple Haze Lavender remains on its own path this year, too. Co-owner Mike Reichner made the decision in November to depart the SLFA and start its own Purple Haze Daze event during Lavender Weekend. “It’s not going to be much different than before,” he said.

“I like like to think of it as a revisit to the rock festival days without the chaos and drugs. We’ve given the farm a fresh look. It’s going to be a younger, fresher more vibrant look than before.” It will cost $10 per person for all three days, feature lavender, live music, vendors and food and spirits along with a free shuttle from QFC during the weekend. “It’s still a business model change more than anything else,” Reichner said about the change. “People this year are going to have to make a choice is it what it boils down to but on that weekend people are coming for that experience and the party and they are only going to find it on a handful of farms.” Reichner said many of the farms are feeling independent right now because of the high costs that were attributed with running the Lavender Farm Faire and Tour. “I’m confident we’ll be fine,” he said. “We have a really good following. Everyone is going to have their own little deal and I think it’ll be just fine.” But Schiefen feels the time for change is sooner rather than later, otherwise lavender festivities could go away. “As an association we want lavender to succeed,” she said. “We want this to be the world’s destination for lavender. Whatever it takes, we’re willing to do it. We want to make Sequim what it was 15 years ago. That’s why we bought into this idea and farm. We’re hoping to be more inclusive and if we we’re working all together, that’s what’s going to take to succeed.”

Films are ready to roll Friday’s festivities mark 10th SEF Film Festival by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Eight films ranging in topics from outdoor, scientific and community-centric to stop-motion animated are set for this year’s 10th annual Sequim Education Foundation Student Film Festival on Friday, April 17. “I’m really excited about these films,” Elna Kawal, SEF vice president and film festival chairman, said after screening the films. “There’s a wide variety, depth and interests among them.” Through their use of videography, sixth-graders Jaden Rego, Delaney Nucci and Abby Garcia tackle the seriousness of bullying and suicide prevention while other students like Jessica Dietzman and Maddy Dietzman worked to create an entertaining portrayal of an attack from King Kong in a Lego stop-motion film. The annual festival has grown from an opportunity to recognize creative students throughout the school district into a community event that draws hundreds to enjoy original and creative work of students from all grades. “It (the festival) gives some students the chance to create something they can be proud of,” Kawal said. A mong the entries, Kawal is pleased to spotlight two films entered into the newly created “community serSEF vice” category. One video by high school senior Student Film Zavier Zarit provides insight Festival 2015 into the Sequim Food Bank When: 7 p.m., Friday, April 17 while another by Sebastian GoetWhere: Sequim High School tling and Matt Schock explores a loauditorium, 533 N.

Cost: $5 entrance fee “It’s my first time entering into More information: www. a film festival, but in doing so I sequimeducationfoundation.org learned how involved our community is,” Zarit said. “I wanted to give basic information about the food bank and where all the food comes from.” Zarit, a high school senior and Running Start student bound for Western Washington University to study communications and video production, is competing for nearly $8,000 in scholarships and cash prizes at this year’s student film festival. Because the documentaries created by Zarit, Goettling and Schock have a community emphasis, they’re eligible for a $500 cash prize sponsored by the Sequim Sunrise Rotary Club. Although the club

Growing blueberries Blueberries do extremely well in our climate and can remain productive for 50-100 years. Here are a few tips to ensure that your blueberries provide a bountiful harvest for many years to come. Blueberry varieties bloom and ripen at different times leading to the labels “early,” “mid-season,” “mid-late season” and “late.” Select varieties suited to our climate sidebar, Get It Growing (see B-2.) Although Jeanette Stehr-Green you can plant just one blueberry and get a decent crop, blueberries produce more and bigger berries when pollinated by a different cultivar. Also, if you plant several varieties that ripen at different times, you will extend the harvest season. Blueberries are acid-loving plants. (They don’t really love acid so much as need certain nutrients that become more available in soils with a lower, more acidic, pH.) Plant blueberries in an area with full sun and well-drained, acidic soil (pH of 4.5 to 5.5). Because acidifying the soil takes time, check the pH 6-12 months before planting. If the soil is too alkaline, amend the planting site with elemental sulfur. Plant blueberries as soon as the ground can be worked. Prepare a hole that is three times as wide as the root system. Add one gallon of soaking wet peat to the hole, mixing it with the native soil. If you are planting bare-root plants, spread the roots out carefully. Position the plant with the uppermost roots 1 inch below ground level. If you are planting a blueberry grown in a container, set the plant at the same depth as at the nursery. Either way, backfill the hole with native soil, then water to settle the soil around the roots. Space plants 4-6 feet apart to allow room for growth and rows 9 to 10 feet apart. Mulch with sawdust, wood chips or straw to maintain soil moisture and discourage weeds. Because blueberries have roots near the soil surface, hand weed. Make sure your blueberries get 1-2 inches of water each week. Remove flowers and do not let plants fruit for the first two seasons. Fertilize your blueberries starting the second year and continue every year

Teen violinist plays Music Live with Lunch

The Sequim Elks host Sunday evening dances. Bands are scheduled for April-July. The first dance, featuring the band Round Trip, is scheduled from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Sunday, April 19. Cover charge is $8 per person. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.

Powers, accompanied by her brother Ethan, arranged eight tunes for listeners at the April 21 concert. Some of the songs include “All of Me” by Gerald Marks, the traditional Finnish waltz “Emma’s Waltz” and originals called “For Marion” and “Vacuum Cleaner Swing.” Powers began playing violin at age 10 in 2010 and says she’s still not bored with practicing or performing.

From page B-1 “It’s great to be partnering with the Sequim Sunrise Rotary this year,” Kawal said. “Each year the festival continues to evolve.” With support like the Rotary members, within the past decade the SEF has awarded more than $50,000 to 70-plus student film festival winners since 2006. To celebrate the past filmmakers and the festival’s 10th year, Kawal has caught up with former students in hopes of sharing highlights from previous participants throughout the upcoming event. “The film festival provided me with an excellent outlet for my creativity,” Jack Simmons, a 2007 and 2008 film festival participant and now a teacher at Ellensburg Christian School, said. “While film creation for one’s own pleasure is certainly fun, it is in the creating of an experience for others that my joy was truly found.” Having been involved with the SEF Student Film Festival since the beginning, Kawal’s favorite aspect continues to be the opportunity to “see the change in students, how they’ve blossomed and the impact that it (film festival) has had on a whole group of students,” she said. Angelina Morales, a 2013 Sequim High School graduate and past student filmmaker, took her passion for film and has since graduated from the Seattle Film Institute and recently started her own production company, but recalls having a “blast” participating in the SEF Student Film Festival. “I learned that making films is hard and getting people on the same page as you isn’t

always easy,” she said. “I knew I wanted to make films and go to film school. I also wanted to have fun with my friends and work hard to create something and have something to show for it at the end.” Like Morales, Sequim High School students Christian Davis, Brandon Stamper and Reynaldo Perez have taken their mutual passions and combined them with an interest in filmmaking. The trio of outdoor enthusiasts with a thirst for anything with a board, including skateboarding, long-boarding, wake-boarding, snowboarding and skim-boarding, will take the audience on a local outdoor tour in their video, “Finding Passion Around the Pacific Northwest.” “We want to try to show people what’s so beautiful about this place,” Stamper said. “We hope to inspire people and get them out there to have fun, too.” With the mountains, lakes and rivers “you have everything here,” Davis said. Given the submitted films and varying focuses, Kawal said she expects “it to be a really fun event and appeal to those of all ages.” Among the award-winning films chosen by a panel of judges, per tradition, at the end of the show the audience will have the chance to support the film they feel is most deserving of the “Elkie” award. Additionally, the 2015 SEF Student Film Festival poster by Sequim High School sophomore Breyanna Taylor and framed by Creative Framing Prints Etc., will be auctioned off. “I’m always on pins and needles waiting to see what the students come up with and every year I am always pleasantly surprised,” Kawal said. “I really applaud the filmmakers.”

Editor’s note: With time a handful of Sequim’s landmark structures have aged, yet still stand as quiet reminders of the past. In this series Gazette staffers take a step backward in time to compare these structures now from then and revisit the history, giving insight into the area’s early development.

Visible from 22 miles away, a light tirelessly shines from the New Dungeness Lighthouse denoting the Dungeness Spit, a long branch of land stretching into the Strait of Juan de Fuca and considered one of the world’s longest natural sand spits. Although the first lard oil lamp that brought life to its 91-foot tower has been upgraded throughout time, its purpose has remained for the past 158 years. The Dungeness Spit, sometimes referred to as “Shipwreck Spit” because of the shallow waters surrounding the notoriously long spit, was one of the first locations in the state recognized as an ideal spot for a lighthouse, Chad Kaiser, New Dungeness Light Station general manager explained. “When choosing where to build lighthouses in this area, the most dangerous areas were identified first,” he said. As the first U.S. lighthouse completed on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the New Dungeness Lighthouse has helped guide those at sea since 1857. “One thing that really makes our lighthouse stand out is it’s the second oldest lighthouse in Washington and has most of the extra

Wolves post 14 top-ten finishes in Tacoma Sequim Gazette staff

Sequim’s track squad got good performances in Tacoma, but eyes are on even better finishes in this city in late May. The Wolves posted 14 efforts in the top 10 at the Tacoma Invitational at Lincoln Bowl on April 11, with Oscar Herrera and Alex Barry leading the way for the boys and Waverly Shreffler for the girls. Barry and Herrera both had two top-five finishes and helped Sequim’s 4x100 relay

Running her first ever 4x400 relay, Sequim freshman Megan Breckenridge hands off to senior Heidi Vereide for the anchor leg. Sequim’s team finished fifth at the Tacoma Invitational, eclipsing the team’s best mark in 2014 (4:11.95) that carried them to a state meet berth. Photo by Dave Shreffler

Barry also took second in the javelin with a 164-9 mark, second to Peninsula’s Austin Kilcup by about four feet. Herrera took third in the

Still, girls basketball coach, resigns Tenure included 2 trips to districts, 4 all-league players by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

After three years as Sequim High School’s girls varsity basketball coach, Evan Still is stepping down. Still, who led the Wolves to districts in 2014 and 2015, said he was at a spot in his life he couldn’t give 100 percent to the team. “Everything just kind of factored in,” he said. “It’s just the right time to do it.” Over the past year, Still said he’s been giving this decision a lot of thought and that one factor was that his sister will be a freshman next school year and he didn’t want any possible resentment toward her when she comes out for the basketball team. His other reasons for resigning, he said, are personal but have nothing to do with his former assistant coach Jerry Pedersen who was sentenced to 30 days incarceration, followed by 30 days of electronic monitoring in October 2014 for communication with a minor for immoral purposes, a then-15-yearold-girl on the team. Still was cleared of any wrongdoing and fired Pedersen from the volunteer position after he learned of the relationship.

Senior Softball’s Grey Wolves start season this week Sequim club members have open invite; men 55+, women 50+ eligible to play Spring is finally here and Sequim’s Senior Softball Grey Wolves are in full “swing.” Club members invite all players to come out and have a good time. The objectives of the club are “to foster, promote and encourage coed Senior Softball in the Sequim area, to promote good sportsmanship and to provide positive social interactions among the players,” according to the league’s bylaws. More than 50 members from across the Olympic Peninsula (Sequim, Port Angeles, Port Townsend) gather at Carrie Blake Park each Tuesday and Thursday

with warmup at 8:30 a.m., batting practice at 9 a.m. and games beginning at 10 a.m. Every skill level and everyone is accepted and encouraged. The Grey Wolves are a coed league with age requirements of 55 plus for men and 50 plus for women. The Grey Wolves are a recreational league with greatly varying skill levels, but also have a tournament team selected from the league members that travels and competes in Senior Softball tournaments in the area — such as the Washington State Senior Games and the Olympic Peninsula Senior Games. This October, the select team travels to St. George, Utah, to compete in the World Senior Games.

P.C.’s Crumb named NWAC Coach of Year Sequim Gazette staff

Winning the school’s first NWAC women’s basketball championship in school history has its privileges. Peninsula College’s Alison Crumb, a Port Angeles native, was named Northwest Athletic Conference Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year last week after leading the Pirates to their first championship. “I guess I’m just really honored to be

given this award considering how many great coaches and programs there are in the NWAC,” Crumb said. “I have a lot of respect for those I’ve competed against over the years and to be honored among that group is a pretty humbling experience. Some of these coaches have been successful in this league for a long time and that is what I have strived to do here at Peninsula.”

Wolves top Bucs in comeback Split in league games leaves Sequim at 2-2 Sequim Gazette staff

A persistent Sequim offense batted back from a 6-0 deficit to knock off Kingston 7-6 on April 7, earning the Wolves a key Olympic League win. Nigel Christian and Dusty Bates drove in two runs each and Tanner Rhodefer had three of Sequim’s 10 hits to drop the visiting Buccaneers. Kingston got to Rhodefer for six runs — four earned — in the first two innings, but Sequim got three runs back in the second and scored one run each in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth innings. Christian knotted the game with a home-run to left-center field in the fifth, and Gavin Velarde scored the game-winning run in the sixth on a passed ball. Austin Hilliard picked up the win, tossing three shutout innings with HILLIARD three strikeouts and giving up just one hit and a pair of walks. Evan Hurn was 2-for-4 with a triple while Grubb had a double, RBI and run HURN scored. Sequim (2-2 in Olympic League play, 5-3 overall) was slated to take on North Mason in Belfair on April 14 — results were not available at press time. The wins puts Sequim in fourth place behind three other squads without a league loss: Olympic, Port Angeles and North Kitsap. “The league is what I anticipated — a very competitive league,” Sequim coach Dave Ditlefsen said. “We’re trying to hang in there.” Ditlefsen noted a number of Wolves are dealing with injuries, from Ian Dennis’ bruised thumb to Christian’s elbow tendonitis to James Thayer recovering from knee surgery. The Sequim coach said Christian, one of Sequim’s top pitchers in 2014, is on the mend. “He’s making strides (and) looking to throw again this season,” Ditlefsen said. The Wolves host Port Townsend on April 16 before hitting the road for three consecutive road games: April 17 at Vashon, April 20 at North Kitsap and April 21 at Bremerton.

Riders edge Wolves Port Angeles scored four runs late and held off a seventh inning rally to top Sequim 4-2 on April 6. The Roughriders scored two runs with two outs in the fifth inning and Jac Bohman added a two-run single in the sixth to take a 4-0 lead. Sequim mounted a comeback in the top of the seventh, getting a two-run triple from Christian to score Hurn and Grubb. But Port Angeles pitcher Travis Payner — who tossed a complete game — struck out pinch-hitter Brady CHRISTIAN Vig to end the threat. Rhodefer took the loss for Sequim giving up four runs (two earned) over five-and-two thirds innings. He struck RHODEFER out six. Hurn had two of Sequim’s five hits. Payner was dominant until the last inning, striking out 11 Wolves and walking just one.

Director of Athletics, said. “They were a crowd favorite. They were the most improved team and they were playing lights out. That’s a testament to the kind of players Ali and her staff recruited, players with heart, and players with vision, and players who simply worked harder and played harder than their opponents. It’s also a testament to the coaching job Ali and her staff put together.”

The women’s coaching staff includes Danika (Goodwin) Johnson, a Port Angeles grad who played for Crumb in 2010-2011, and Mike Knowles, who retired from the women’s basketball head coaching position at Port Angeles High School following a successful career that included coaching both Crumb and Johnson. Crumb is the fourth Peninsula head coach to win the NWAC Coach of the Year Award. Andrew Chapman won that honor in men’s soccer in 2007, 2010 and 2012, Kanyon Anderson was named women’s soccer Coach of the Year in 2011 and Lance Von Vogt was the men’s basketball Coach of the Year Award, also in 2011.

GOLF

Wolves split matches with PT Sequim Gazette staff

Both the boys and girls golf teams swung back into action after a week off to play the Redhawks on April 9 at the Port Townsend Golf Club. The boys played some of the best golfers on the peninsula with the Redhawks shooting 20 strokes better than the Wolves (158178). Zack Glover and Patrick Morton led all golfers with 38 each on nine holes followed closely by Keegan Khile at 39 and Austin Khile at 43, all for Port Townsend. Travis Priest led Sequim shooting a 41 followed by Jack J. SHEA Shea at 43, Alex McCracken at 45 and Josiah Carter at 49. Sequim boys coach Bill Shea said the Redhawks remain undefeated so far and that Sequim’s low nine-hole team score at

home is 165 and 168 away. “There is quite a bit of local knowledge there (from the Port Townsend players), but we were clearly outplayed,” he said. Sequim’s girls won their match by forfeit due to the Redhawks only having three eligible golfers. Alex McMenamin led all golfers again by a wide margin shooting a 38 followed by freshman Sarah Shea at 54, who had her best personal match score of the season. S. SHEA Brianna Kettel shot a 56 and Sydney Balkan a 57. Greta Gamble led Port Townsend shooting a 68. In the coming weeks, both of Sequim’s boys and girls teams travel to North Mason on Thursday and they host North Kitsap and Chimacum on April 21 at The Cedars at Dungeness.

COLLEGE SPORTS

SHS grads battle on track, diamond Sequim students shine in Sequim Gazette staff

Madison Zbara schuk showed plenty of clout as a softball star at Sequim High. She’s doing the same in college. Zbaraschuk hit three home runs as the University of ZBARASCHUK Missouri-St. Louis swept a pair of doubleheaders against Quincy and Truman State on April 4- 5. Z ba r a schu k , a 2011 Sequim High graduate, hit a pair of home runs in the first game against Quincy on April 4, and hit another in the nightcap against

Truman State on April 5 to help her squad sweep both doubleheaders. The senior at Missouri-St. Louis (35-3) is hitting .357 with eight home runs and 25 RBIs for the Tritons. She entered the season as the school’s career RBIs leader (126), ranking fourth in career home runs (27) and eighth in total bases (261). As of last week, MissouriSt. Louis has a 17-game winning streak.

Brocklesby an allaround star Jason Brocklesby, a 2013 Sequim High School grad and former state high jump champion, is putting his athletic prowess to work for

the Olympic Rangers. Brocklesby, a sophomore at Olympic, finished with 5,661 points to win the decathlon at the Western Wa sh in g ton University Combined Events Track and Field meet on April 2-3. He ran the 110-meter BROCKLESBY high hurdles in 16.95 seconds and the 1,500-meter race in 5:24.74. He threw a personal best in the discus (112-6) and added strong finishes in the javelin (131-5) and pole vault (11-8). Brocklesby took third in the decathlon at the 2014 NWAC championship meet.

annual ‘My Home’ contest Sequim Gazette staff

Four students from each elementary school, Greywolf and Helen Haller, placed for first, second, third and won Best Picture on April 8 at the annual drawing and essay contest spearheaded by the Sequim Association of Realtors and its affiliates. The contest’s theme of “What My Home Means to Me” allows students the opportunity to reflect on their personal sense of place and home through an essay and drawing about their home. From touching to funny, the students gave insights into what a home means to them and in doing so received a variety of awards, including bicycles for first place, scooters for second and $25 gift cards for third and Best Picture.

Clockwise from top, Charmayne Hurlbut presents Helen Haller student Ava Fuller with a third-place award for her submitted essay; Greywolf Elementary student Kaia Lestage took second place for her essay at the annual essay contest; and Helen Haller student Aurora Kalif was one of two to win first place for her essay submitted in the annual contest.

From page B-5 110-meter high hurdles (15.64) and fourth in the 300-meter hurdles (41.10). Sequim’s Jackson Oliver was second in the high jump with a leap of 6 feet 2 inches, edged out by Brandon Swanson of Emerald Ridge who won by tiebreaker. Sequim also had a pair of pole vaulters in the top 10, with Josh Cibene fifth at 11-0 and Rickey Gross ninth at 10-0. On the girls’ side, Shreffler was third in the 400-meter race with a 2:22.03 — just eight hundredths of a second off a personal best —

and joined Gretchen Happe, Megan Breckenridge and Heidi Vereide in helping the 4x400 relay squad place fifth with a 4:11.62 mark. (That mark eclipses Sequim’s 4x400 relay team’s top mark in 2014 of 4:11.95 set at a sub-district tourney that earned a spot at the state 2A meet.) Sequim’s Alyse Armstrong posted a pair of top-10 marks, matching personal bests with a 4-10 high jump (sixth place) and 7-0 in the pole vault (ninth). Her sister Cheryl set a personal best in the discus with an 89-foot 7-inch throw, good for sixth place.

SEQUIM GAZETTE

Looking for solutions Most of us seek out some kind of help as we raise our children. Grandparents are a common resource. Relatives and neighbors are another frequent source. Some parents take classes and others read columns like this one or parenting books to get ideas on how to best raise a child. As a parent of a lot of children, I used all of these sources. I always remember one particular help from an article I read about helping your children resolve conflicts. It encouraged parents to not immediately intervene and instead encourage their children to work it out by themselves. That really sounded good to me. So when some of our children were fighting over one of the thousands of things young people fight over, I would send them to their room to solve the problem. I would make sure no hollering or physical fighting was taking place by just keeping my ears open. I would ask when they were done if they had figured out a solution and almost always was reassured when they said they had figured it out. It was a great idea. The person who suggested it wrote about it in a parenting book and he had

with them until they begged to get out of the room. She tot ally over whelmed them and they would agree to anything she said. It took me a long time to learn that my advice that I had read about wasn’t going to work in my family. It might work in another family but not mine. That is the way with many solutions to the problems you face as a parent. You may have to try several solutions until you find the one that helps you solve the problem you are having. No one solution will fit all people. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t seek help from others because you really should. It means you have to try things and decide for yourself if the solutions fit your needs and your family. No parenting help works for everyone. You have to try it, perhaps modify it, and maybe even abandon it if it doesn’t fit your needs. You are the parent. You are the expert on your child.

a great reputation. It certainly sounded good to me. It wasn’t a great idea. I didn’t know it at the time but as the years passed, I asked my growing children what was the worst thing I did wrong as a parent as they were growing up. The answer from three of the children, now adults, was that the thing they most hated was to have to spend time with the one person they argued most with didn’t help. They felt it was absolutely horrible.

Lesson learned This one person was a real talker then and still is. She could totally overwhelm the others and certainly outlast any of them in an argument. To this day, she remains the biggest talker in the family. When they would go to their rooms with her, she would argue and talk

Lighthouse From page B-3

Lighthouses have served as a safety and navigational mechanism for ships, but with advancements in technology, mapping capabilities and communication they’ve become more of a “secondary aid,” Kaiser said. However, last December volunteer keepers at the New Dungeness Light Station were able to provide emergency assistance to three boaters seeking refuge after experiencing threatening weather conditions. The world around the New Dungeness Light Station continues to modernize and evolve, yet to visit it is like turning back the hands of time with the original structures and the lighthouse as an ageless beacon to all those nearby. For more information on the New Dungeness Light Station Association, visit newdungenesslighthouse.com.

The New Dungeness Light Station in 1941 resembles the present day, reflecting the dedication and work of the Buildings have come and gone, but the lighthouse and its keeper’s dwelling, a New Dungeness Light Station Association and its members. Photo courtesy of the U.S. Coast Guard Historians Reach Alana Linderoth at alinderoth@ barn and oil house from the late 1800s, a second keeper’s house built in 1904 Office and U.S. Coast Guard Museum and remnants of a tramway that once linked a boathouse to a fog signal buildsequimgazette.com. ing, comprise the light station today.
