However, to recover the teachers’ lost day with students, the board of directors agreed in a 3-2 vote to add Thursday, June 18, to the academic school year.

A Sequim couple, Bret William Christianson and Eleana Maria Christianson, allegedly embezzled more than $1.2 million from local businessmen. As employees of Park Manager LLC, Bret and Eleana allegedly stole the money over an extended period of time. The company owned by Donald and Pilar Tucker includes the oversight of nine manufactured housing communities, several rental properties and real estate holdings. Some of the Sequim Police Department’s investigation states that Eleana and/or Bret allegedly took rental income, made unauthorized online transfers between accounts for personal use, paid personal bills and forged checks.

New Civic Center hosts the masses Sequim eager to see new police department by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

It was a packed house for the City of Sequim’s Civic Center open house on May 1. Residents filled the nearly finished 33,000-square-foot, $14.45 million facility at 152 W. Cedar St. that houses the police department and most of the city’s staff and operations. Barbara Hanna, Sequim communications and marketing director, said the event was deemed a success with upwards of 500 people in attendance during the First Friday Art Walk. Many of the visitors seemed pleased with the esthetics. “I think it’s wonderful we’re getting everyone (city employees) under one roof,” said Sally Sue Barry, a former Sequim city councilor. Sequim resident Vicki Behrens said everything looked fantastic. A long line of eager attendees formed throughout the event to tour the police department with Police Chief Bill Dickinson and Deputy Chief Sheri Crain. Visitors saw the squad room,

armory, the holding cells from afar, locker rooms and more inside the police’s west side of the building. The squad room will house Sequim Police and east end Clallam County Sheriff’s deputies, who will lease a portion of it. Holding cells are limited to six hours at most and the suspect processing area will be used by police, deputies and Washington State Patrol troopers. Crain said the whole police department was purpose-driven to focus on business practices to increase collaboration and officer

safety while looking ahead to future growth. “Not all newly designed police facilities had the luxury of cops being intimately involved in design,” she said. “By our involvement with the architects and contractors, we’ve been able to keep business process and best business practices at the heart of design.” In August 2012, city residents passed a public safety tax 60 percent to 40 percent worth one-tenth of 1 percent to help pay for the new police department.

Future of Natural Resources program is still pending Public push-back causes pause in decision, now set for today, May 6 by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

The fate of the North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center’s Natural Resources program is to be discussed today, Wednesday, May 6. Following a contentious meeting April 28 where about 50 people attended to listen and provide public comment regarding whether the skills center should continue to offer its Natural Resources program, the center’s Administrative Council plans to revisit the topic. Many supporters of the program gave public comments and asked the council to rethink cutting the program. “For me, the influence of the group caused the council to pause and check our facts.” Sequim School District Superintendent Kelly Shea said.

At the Sequim Irrigation Festival from May 8-10, United Survivors Club and Pat O’Brien sponsor a new family friendly attraction — garden tractor pulling — at the Blake family lot. Pull runs begin at noon Friday and are all day Saturday and Sunday morning. All pulling tractors must weigh in at 10 a.m. Friday. About 80 entrants are registered, O’Brien said. Stock or modified stock entries pull with either the deck belt or deck removed and have wheelie bars. There will be a special class for riding lawn mowers. For that class, the only requirements are wheelie bars and that belts be disconnected from the decks. Cost is $5. The event is pulling, not racing, and the maximum speed for all entrants is 4.5 miles per hour. Children 7-12 must wear a helmet. To register, call O’Brien at 681-3957.

Kim Treece serves as the Training Coordinator for the Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) program for the Sequim Police Department. As part of her responsibilities she sets up monthly training topics, sits on interview panels for prospective volunteers, and trains new VIPS members. Kim is well qualified for her role, as overseeing the VIPS program was part of her responsibility as a Police Sergeant for the Atas- cadero Police Department in San Luis Obispo, CA. Kim served 19 years with the department before taking early retirement and moving with her family to Sequim in 2005. During her years of service she worked many Volunteer in Police Service Kim Treece assignments including property crimes, was a member of the Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement (BNE), and was a DARE instructor. As a police sergeant, she oversaw 37 volunteers in the VIPS program who performed many of the services provided by the volunteers in the Sequim program. Shortly after joining the Sequim program, Kim was asked to assist in formalizing a policy and procedure manual for the Sequim VIPS program. The project took nearly a year to complete and has now been seen and used by other law enforcement agencies, including the Atascadero Police Department which has taken many of the procedures and implemented them into their current program. “I know from experience that Volunteers are valued assets to any agency and community for that matter,” Kim said. “Without volunteers many smaller agencies would not perform as effectively and the community would not benefit from the specialized services offered. It also gives the Volunteers an insight into Law Enforcement and the daily struggles that go along with it.” Kim finds her experience as a volunteer as rewarding on the giving end as it was on the receiving end. She offers thanks to the Sequim Police Department for all of the support offered to the volunteers. “Having worked in Law Enforcement, I would have loved to work with many of their members. The residents of Sequim should be proud of their Police Department,” Kim added. To learn more about how you can reap the rewards of volunteering for the City of Sequim, contact Volunteer Coordinator Pamela Leonard-Ray at (360) 582-2447 or pleonard-ray@sequimwa.gov or City Clerk Karen Kuznek-Reese at (360) 681-3428 or kkuznek@sequimwa.gov.

WATER SAVING TIP OF THE MONTH In the Garden – APPLY MULCH. A thick layer of mulch over your planting beds helps keep the soil cool and moist and inhibits weeds, which compete for moisture and nutrients. You can mulch with chipped limbs and wood, leaves, grass clippings, bark or any combination. In addition to conserving soil moisture, mulch adds organic matter and nutrients to the soil as it decomposes. Soils with increased amounts of organic matter absorb and retain water better.

City Offices will be closed on Monday, May 25 in observation of Memorial Day

Antique sewing machine drawers, with the undersides up, show off Cedarbrook’s own variety of spices and an enameled wash basin displays its own blend of lavender and rose potpourri.

by PATRICIA MORRISON COATE Cedarbrook Lavender & Herb Farm owners Marcella and Gary Stachurski have expanded their wholesale business to include a quaint and cozy shop in downtown Sequim at 134 1/2 W. Washington St. The 10-foot by 25foot gift shop, which opened April 18, is reminiscent of one they had on the old Bell Farm homestead for many years at the south end of Sequim Avenue with accents of weathered barn wood, vintage metal pieces and crockery — and of course, all matter of lavender. “The majority of our business is wholesale but I love visiting with customers,” Marcella Stachurski said. “I always thought it would be really cool to have a little shop down here. I think Sequim’s downtown shops are places tourists love to visit and we’ve had fun putting it together. We really wanted it to look like a gift shop and it’s a way to offer Cedarbrook to our friends, neighbors and visitors.” Stachurski said the shop is only a small portion of the building’s 3,000 square feet.

The Co-op Farm and Garden, 216 E. Washington St., Sequim, has gone to its summer hours. They are 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday. Propane tank filling and electric vehicle charging are available during those same times.

Free seeds can help promote pollinators, thwart noxious weeds

“Sarasota Slide”

Packets of non-invasive flower mix seeds that attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators are now available at no cost while supplies last, according to Clallam County Noxious Weed Control coordinator Cathy Lucero. Lucero said that the seed packets are part of a campaign to promote non-invasive forage for a broad array of pollinators who face many obstacles, coupled with an awareness that some beautiful plants have become bullies in the bigger scheme of things. Certain beautiful, but noxious, weeds can provide pollen and nectar sources for honeybees but are capable of spreading far beyond their intended area, ruining pastures, displacing native plants, disrupting riverbed habitat for fish and damaging infrastructure. The Clallam County Noxious Weed Board is offering the seed packets to assist local homeowners and gardeners control noxious weeds while growing native vegetation and providing pollinatorfriendly environment. Lucero explained, “As always our ultimate goal is to protect people, land and natural resources from the degrad-

Cindy Ericksen, president of the North Olympic Peninsula Beekeepers’ Association, said that local beekeepers appreciate the Noxious Weed Board’s providing noninvasive flower seeds, which are friendly to the native ecosystems and farmlands as the flowers will provide good sources of pollen and

Want to learn how to grow vegetables in your own back yard? Need help with pests that are getting the better part of your harvest? Interested in planting time-tested vegetables that grow well in this climate or vegetables and varieties that are new to the scene? On Friday, May 8, from noon-1 p.m., home gardeners can get timely advice from local experts about vegetable gardening at the Fifth Street Community Garden, 328 E. Fifth St., Port Angeles. The event is part of “Lunch in the Garden,” an educational series sponsored by WSU Clallam County Master Gardeners on the second Friday of each month through September. Each month local Master Gardeners will lead a fast-paced, one-hour walk through the community garden to show home gardeners what needs to be done in vegetable gardens at that time and what problems are likely to appear. During these walks, Master Gardeners also answer questions from local gardeners. Veteran Master Gardeners Bob Cain, Laurel Moulton, Audreen Williams and Jeanette StehrGreen will lead the walks. This month the Master Gardeners will talk about cool weather crops, prevention of carrot rust fly and cabbage butterfly damage, building trellises, planting strawberries and blueberries and more. Cain joined Master Gardeners in 2009 and was Clallam County Master Gardener Foundation president from 2011-2013. Moulton has been a Master Gardener since 2006 and coordinated the WSU Master Gardener Program in Clallam County from 2012-2014. Williams joined Master Gardeners in 2012 and was the 2014 Clallam County Veteran Master Gardener of the Year co-recipient.

Sequim Street repairs slated for summer Portion of Fourth Avenue is rated the lowest in city limits

rating of 15. “It won’t be the worst much longer,” Garlington said. Cost for its reconstruction is estimated at nearly $205,000. However, other high traffic roads like Fir and Prairie streets are scheduled for repairs later on due to the cost of repairs. Garlington said Fir Street from Sequim Avenue to Fifth Avenue will have a finished redesign by the end of the year. Seattle engineering firm Grey & Osborne was budgeted up to $511,200 to redesign Fir Street in 2014. Garlington said they’ve created two different scenarios to look at so far. “One of the things we’re looking to do is minimize the amount of right of way we take,” he said. “They are refining that. Then we’ll look to meet with the school district before school lets out and have a public meeting, engage the neighborhood and anyone else interested in the project.” Garlington estimated last year that repairing everything in the stretch from the storm drainage to sewer and water to irrigation would cost more than $2 million. Prairie Street is another low rating area along with a few other areas in the southwestern city limits that Garlington is looking to place on the 2016 rehabilitation schedule.

Some of Sequim’s streets in bad shape are slated for repairs starting this summer. Nine areas in Sequim’s city limits will be repaired and/or reconstructed for just over $717,000 as part of the 2015 Pavement Preservation project. These areas include: North Fourth Avenue (between Washington Street and Fir Street), North Second Avenue (between Spruce Street and Alder Street), South Seventh Avenue (between Washington Street and Hemlock Street), South Second Avenue (between Bell Street and Hammond Street), North Brown Road (between Fir and Willow Street), the alley behind the Civic Center, Whitefeather Way, Sequim-Dungeness Way and the Sequim Avenue and Cedar Street crosswalk. Streets were analyzed using the Pavement Condition Index, which Interim Public Works Director David Garlington said involves city staff going down streets and looking at the level of cracking and depressed areas for a general sense of the condition. In 2011, Sequim’s streets were professionally rated as a 74 but now

are at 71, he said. The following year, the city councilors adopted a pavement management plan to improve streets but Garlington said the city doesn’t have enough funding to maintain the 74 rating. “Even though we’ve been doing a fair amount of work, it’s been a slow decline,” he said. “That’s why we’re interested in developing more sources of rev-

enue. We’re definitely interested in maintaining the TBD (Transport Benefit District), looking for low interest loans and grants from the state or feds. The problem is we’re competing with all the other North Olympic cities for those dollars.” Some of the streets chosen with this project list follow city councilors’ goal to improve downtown Sequim, Garlington said.

Funding for the project this year is allocated in the 2015 Pavement Rehabilitation budget and from reserve funds from the Transportation Benefit District. Before the projects can move forward, city councilors will vote on the bid for the projects on June 8. Possibly the worst section in the city is on North Fourth Avenue from Washington Street to Fir Street Reach Matthew Nash at mnash@ with a pavement condition index sequimgazette.com.

Steelhead

One of five weirs used to funnel out migrating smolts into a fish box is placed across Jimmycomelately Creek to allow researchers with Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe to assess the smolt out migration and collect DNA samples before allowing them to continue to the ocean. Adult steelhead are sometimes captured in the traps as well. Sequim Gazette photo by Alana Linderoth

From page A-1

and his colleagues Aaron Brooks, fisheries management biologist for the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, and tribal citizen Casey Allen are pursuing unprecedented DNA analysis of steelhead in the Dungeness River and nearby creeks. “I think steelhead are the shinning star of the Dungeness … it’s the perfect river for them,” Burns said. Although the Dungeness River is intrinsically ideal for steelhead, the numbers of steelhead returning to spawn remain below the goal established by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Burns said. The escapement (portion of an anadromous fish population that return to freshwater spawning grounds) goal for steelhead in the Dungeness River is 1,034. “We’re just below that,” he said. “Part of the problem with the Dungeness is it’s impaired.” For example, construction of levees, removal of large woody debris and irrigating from the river have caused changes to its natural behavior. “Everything we do has an impact,” Burns said.

Valued resource Concerns about impacts on the Dungeness River and with the Olympic Peninsula’s overall water supply are in a heightened state after the region was drought declared by Gov. Jay Inslee in mid-March. The anticipated drought spurred Department of Ecology to fund a drought year leasing program administered by Washington Water. The voluntary program is partially aimed at ensuring surface flows remain conducive for fish passage during the final month of the irrigation season. The onset of a drought in the midst of the 120th Irrigation Festival — a community celebration centered on irrigation — reflects the varying reliances on water. Irrigation from the Dungeness

River has proven essential to agricultural undertakings since May 1895 when the first headgate on the river was lifted, according to “Jimmy Come Lately: History of Clallam County,” a symposium published by Clallam County Historical Society. The Dungeness Valley is one of, if not the largest, area to rely on irrigation and surface water in Western Washington, Amanda Cronin, Washington Water Trust project manager said. Within the valley an estimated 5,700 irrigated acres are under the Dungeness Water Users Association. Although local irrigation is seemingly an age-old tradition, since its existence the Dungeness River has acted as an ecological artery of sorts. “Every fish is an important component of a river system,” Brooks said. Unlike other salmonids, steelhead have the potential to spawn multiple times. Each time salmon and steelhead return from the saltwater to a freshwater system to spawn they bring nutrients and provide an essential food source for many species, Brooks explained. Beyond their biological role, salmonids are deeply woven into the culture of the Jamestown S’Klallam

ter,” she said. “The work stoppage is ultimately about the students. If the Legislature would follow through with McCleary, it would be a positive step for education.” An intentional effort to better education is at the core of the teachers’ union decision, she explained further. The work stoppage targets the Legislature’s inaction to uphold the Supreme Court’s order following the McCleary

Tribe. But, Brooks noted steelhead fishing for both subsistence and sport has become more challenging with dwindling numbers. Puget Sound steelhead made the federal Endangered Species List in 2007.

DNA study To begin to pinpoint the status of the population, understand migration patterns of steelhead and evolve fisheries management, Burns and Brooks aim to create a genetic baseline for steelhead within the local waterways. “The main goal is to better our management abilities,” Brooks said. Knowing the genetic make-up of the local steelhead runs, like those already known for many of the other salmonids, will help researchers and scientists understand the species that has long been a part of the overall river system. “What I want to see come from this (research) is the whole resident and anadromous connection,” Burns said. Because steelhead are an oceangoing trout, true rainbow trout are “resident” meaning they don’t travel to the ocean, but still can spawn with steelhead.

decision in 2012. In the McCleary case, the Supreme Court ruled the state isn’t meeting its “paramount duty” regarding basic education, according to the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. To remedy this, the court endorsed a plan for the state to fully fund transportation, maintenance and supplies, lower class sizes for grades

Other methods Although the tribe’s varying methods of assessment, from spawning surveys and smolt traps to DNA analysis are separate, they’re all part of fisheries management puzzle, Brooks said. Occasionally, they’re able to collect DNA data from adult steelhead stopped by the weirs placed across streams to study production levels by funneling smolt into a box for documentation before they continue onto the ocean. Natural resources officials with Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe also are assessing coho and cutthroat at the smolt traps, Brooks said. Coinciding with the DNA research, the little to no snowpack may allow Burns and Allen to survey the Dungeness River for the entirety of the wild steelhead season. “Steelhead spawning surveys have gone on for years, but the timing of the season is a problem,” Brooks said. Researchers attempt to do steelhead spawning surveys, but because it entails walking the river and counting fish and redds, they’re typically unable to survey a whole steelhead season because of high river conditions due to snowmelt in the spring. “We’ve never been able to survey an entire season on the Dungeness,” Brooks said. Working around the seasonal challenge of surveying steelhead, Burns has used timing curves from rivers similar to the Dungeness River, such as the Nooksack River. The DNA research coupled with the development of a reliable method to calculate steelhead escapement, Brooks and Burns seek to better understand the status of the local steelhead populations — something not thoroughly understood on a local level. “There’s a lot we don’t know, but status ‘unknown’ just isn’t good enough for me,” Burns said.

In addition to studying the genetic impact of rainbow trout, which can provide genetic diversity to anadromous steelhead, Burns said, they’re also looking for the possibility of a remnant population of summer run steelhead which the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has labeled “status unknown.” “Summer run genetics can be found through DNA analysis,” Burns said. To create a genetic baseline, Burns and Allen are collecting DNA samples by taking fin clippings from adult and juvenile steelhead. The method doesn’t harm the fish and the small portion of the fin regenerates, Burns said. In the field, they also document the size of the steelhead and take scales for age analysis. Because steelhead don’t travel in large numbers, Burns is gathering the majority of the DNA data via a rod and reel permit; thus requiring him to catch and release each fish. “I would like to get 100 adult samples from the Dungeness River,” Burns said. Since last year and the beginning of the steelhead DNA project, Burns and Allen have collected about 60 Reach Alana Linderoth at steelhead DNA samples. alinderoth@sequimgazette.com.

Deciding on a work stoppage Members of the teachers’ union first voted April 27 to pursue a work stoppage. Leading up to that decision and since, SEA members have been in close communication with the school administration. “Our teachers have been very cognizant to the impact (of a work stoppage) on the district and the students,” said Shea. For example, in planning the proposed work stoppage, members of the teachers’ union are being mindful of testing days and sports, he said. “We understand that our action will be inconvenient for many families, but we feel the inaction of our Legislature has created a far greater inconvenience and injustice to our community,” Rapelje told the board. Although the board concluded after-school activities, like sports practices, will continue despite the cancellation of school, both board members Heather Jeffers and Michael Howe opposed the motion.

B&G Club to open during work stoppage

Sequim Boys & Girls Club, 400 W. Fir St., plans to open for free 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday, May 18, during the planned walk-out for Sequim School District’s students ages 6-18. The club will offer breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack. “We want to support the families and children of our district,” said Mary Budke, executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula. “I think it sends the message that sporting events are more important than academics,” Jeffers, board vice president, said. Howe, the board’s legislative representative, not only opposed the motion to maintain exJEFFERS tracurricular activities during the work stoppage, but questions the legality of the entire work stoppage. “I encourage them not to do (the) walkout and instead pursue alternative ways to communicate to the Legislature,” Howe said. Regardless of lingerHOWE ing concerns, Rapelje told the board that in doing a one-day work stoppage the SEA members are joining “thousands of other

teachers in more than 20 different districts.” “We did not make this decision lightly,” Rapelje said. Although some SEA members expressed concern about the impacts of a work stoppage on the ability to pass a bond, Rapelje told the board the union ultimately “decided to move forward because as much as students in Sequim deserve safe and adequate facilities, they deserve the full financial support of the state as well.” Having a confirmed date for the work stoppage, Shea said, in preparation for Monday, May 18, district officials will inform the public via a variety of methods, such as e-mail, phone calls, the district website, social media outlets and traditional news mediums. Traditionally the last day of the Sequim school year is a half-day. With the work stoppage, June 17 is now a full day with that half-day moved to June 18.

Expert to speak on autism disorder Clallam Mosaic and the Developmental Disabilities Administration’s Clallam County Office will co-sponsor a presentation by regional clinical psychology associate, Dr. Edward Fischer, at 4 p.m. Thursday, May 21.

Virginia Ann “Ginger” Thompson Coonelly B. April 14, 1946 Chicago, Illinois D. April 18, 2015 Sequim, Washington Ginger’s father, John E. Thompson, a U.S. Army Air Corps pilot was missing in action in 1952 during the Korean Conflict. Her mother, Jean M. Hicks was a student nurse. Like most military families the Thompson’s moved frequently. In 1952 she and her brother, Richard and her Mom moved to Florida where her Mom met and eventually married George D. Hicks, a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. Her younger brother, Michael was born in 1954. As a young girl Ginger continued her world travels crossing the Pacific Ocean by ship to live in Japan with her family, crossing the Atlantic Ocean twice by ship for European assignments and back to the United States to Fort Campbell, Kentucky. As a young woman she was active in the Girl Scouts and Youth Association and volunteered as a “Candy Striper” at the Base hospitals where her family was stationed. She attended High School in Clarksville, Kentucky and graduated from Frankfurt American High School in 1964 after which she enrolled at the University of Maryland, Munich campus. In 1965 Ginger met and married Captain Thomas F. Coonelly Jr. after a whirlwind courtship lasting 3 1/2 months! In early 1966 CPT Coonelly was deployed to Vietnam and Ginger went to live with her new in-laws in New Jersey. During that time their first son, Thomas III was born. The family lived in Virginia for several years and was then transferred to Seoul, Korea as part of the U.S. Military Mission. It was there that their second son, Michael and their daughter Kimberly Ann were born. Ginger managed a large International Gift Shop during that tour. Sadly Kimberly Ann died accidentally in Korea. After several additional moves the family settled in Cheney, Washington where Ginger continued her studies at Eastern Washington University, earning a Bachelors Degree with honors and a Masters Degree in History. Upon graduation she was honored by the History Department for her original research in Western History. Ginger taught undergraduate History classes at EWU and worked with students in the foreign students program. After their retirement from the U.S. Army the family remained in Cheney for several years where Ginger completed Hospice Training. They then moved to Kennewick where she trained for and was certified as a Washington State Master Gardener. They finally settled in Sequim, WA. Ginger loved gardening and plants of all kinds. She loved to experiment with different plants and flowers and her gardens were always colorful and unique. A voracious reader she ‘consumed’ books favoring histories as well as mysteries. She was a wonderful cook famous for her meatloaf and fried chicken but her first love in the kitchen was baking and her Christmas cookies were unsurpassed. She loved ‘antiquing’ and amassed an enviable collection of pottery and ceramic deer. Ginger loved the ocean and led her family on a years long odyssey to beach comb the Pacific Coast from the northern tip of Washington to the California / Oregon border. A gifted artist she perfected a new technique to paint and decorate miniature houses. These and her needlework are a tribute to her artistic talent. Although plagued by a debilitating disease from an early age she never lost her energy, her sense of humor and her loving spirit. Ginger was a devoted wife and mother and a true friend. She is survived by her mother, Mrs. George D. Hicks; her husband of 49 1/2 years Tom; her two sons Tommy and Michael; her daughter in law Diana; two beautiful grandchildren, Aidan and Noelle; and many, many close family members and friends. A memorial Service will be held to celebrate her life in June.

Odds, ends from the editor’s desk Are scammers just getting lazy, or more inane? So far this year, we’ve seen a rash of scams of myriad types, from one that involves jury duty to another purporting IRS claims to a third involving lapsed payments to Clallam County PUD. Two of the more recent scams to hit the Olympic Peninsula include one that pretends to give thousands of dollars from AT&T, and another in which the caller feigns a position with a chamber of commerce — in this case, the Port Angeles chamber — to gain access to personal information. In the latter, the caller asks for updated information and aggressively pursues more and more. A Gazette reader said she had a sense it was another scam, promptly hung up her phone and tried the number back, Editor’s getting a long silence and disconnect after a Corner minute. A simple Google Michael Dashiell search reveals not only that the number features an Omaha, Neb., area code, but that other communities across the state are getting similar scam attempts from Yates County, N.Y., to the Greater Westerly-Pawcatuck Area Chamber of Commerce in Rhode Island to the Outer Banks islands in North Carolina. In the former, residents get an envelope in the mail containing a realistic-looking check from AT&T and a document from Billtrust Financial Incorporated of Capetown, South Africa, claiming they’ve won a $250,000 prize from a “consumers sweepstakes lottery” on April 5. With the enclosed $3,950 check, the company asks for a $3,600 processing fee. The document notes that “your bank account details are not needed at all,” and that, “payment of your winning prize money will be made by a certified check” that is “brought to you in person by our special courier company.” Phone numbers follow. The idea, I suppose, is that anyone making that call may be foolish enough to eventually give up critical personal info that scammers use to drain bank accounts. Sequim resident Janet McDonald received such a note in the mail. “I started reading it, and it said I won $250,000? I thought, ‘Scam.’ It shakes you up.” “I went to the police department … and showed it to as many friends I could show it to,” McDonald said. She added, “The most valuable thing on it was the stamp on the envelope.”

In the April 29 edition of your paper there was a letter to the editor regarding the cause of the damage to the Railroad Park Bridge. A reader was speculating that logs placed upstream of the bridge were the cause of the problem and that they were unnecessary in the first place. I would like to make sure that all your readers know that engineered log jams installed by the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe eight years ago were built to last, are very much intact and are doing a great job creating fish habitat. Of the 11 log jams we constructed, five were located upstream of the bridge and six downstream. Observations confirm that pools created by these log jams provide popular places to live for both adult and juvenile fish. We have no reports or observations of any logs missing from our engineered log jams. We are con-

With Megan O’Mera, 2015 Irrigation Festival Queen By now, it’s likely you know Megan O’Mera’s face. The Sequim High School junior is the Sequim Irrigation Festival queen and is heading into her second week of one of the busiest weeks of her young life making appearances, singing and smiling for a lot of aside from trying to find & photos time for AP classes and the high school golf team. “My life is a big crazy mess right now with how busy it is but it’s worth it,” she said. “It’s really awesome being born and raised here and to be part of it all is awesome even more so as the queen.” Going into the festival, O’Mera said she’s learned how much volunteer effort makes the festival happen. “There’s a ridiculous amount of time and energy that goes into this,” she said. “Each person has their own thing from the car show to the kids parade.”

Question 8: What is your favorite food? O’Mera: I’m obsessed with Caesar salads not for the health aspect though. I like the chicken and dressing. Every restaurant I go to I have to eat one. It’s an added bonus when the croutons are garlic. Bonus question 1: Where is your favorite? O’Mera: The Cheesecake Factory. Bonus Question 2: Where is your favorite place to eat in Sequim? O’Mera: Jose’s Famous Salsa. We eat a lot of Mexican food because it’s fast and easy. For me, the pork-filled taco is huge and filling enough and cheaper than a school lunch.

Help with heroin Port Angeles police recently used an antidote to quell a potentially deadly heroin overdose. Our sister paper The Peninsula Daily News reported that Cpl. Josh Powless and officer Sean Ryan responded to a report of an accidental overdose on the 200 block of East Vashon Avenue and discovered a 29-year-old man who was not breathing and did not have a pulse. Powless administered a 0.4-milligram dose of naloxone, a medication that temporarily blocks the effects of heroin or other drugs and helps a person having the overdose breathe. After a second dose, the man regained a pulse and began shallow breathing. Part of the reason police wanted the antidote, the PDN reports, is because they often arrive to medical calls before emergency medical technicians. Port Angeles police had the drug on hand thanks to a grant from Kaleo, a prescription drug company. Public health officials have said more law enforcement agencies should have access to naloxone. According to Centers for Disease Control researcher Mark Faul, more than 16,000 people in the U.S. died from drug overdoses involving prescription opioids in 2013 and about 2 million Americans abused prescription opioids. With heroin the growing drug of choice in Sequim in recent years — thanks to a combination of its addictive characteristics and relative affordability — anti-opiates like naloxone may be much more commonplace.

vinced that engineered log jams can be used to improve fish habitat in the Dungeness River. Certainly, a great deal of care must go into how these jams are planned and constructed. Based on our experience, we will continue to use this technique to restore fish habitat. Scott Chitwood Sequim (Chitwood is Natural Resources Director for the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe.)

Get facts straight on MPD I am distressed by statements recently made in a letter printed in the Gazette (April 22). It is true the legal statute limits the amount a Metropolitan Park District can tax to is no more than 75 cents/$1,000 (assessed valuation). As I understand it, once a newly formed Metro district is in place, the newly elected commissioners of the new district will establish a tax rate to begin in 2016.

SEQ

There are only 18 Metro districts in Washington and there isn’t one that levies the full amount of 75 cents/$1,000. In fact, SARC’s referendum, when passed, will be the lowest rate in the entire state at 12 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation. The Metro district currently proposed is for the maintenance and operation of SARC ONLY. It is intended that the ballot measure to establish the SARC Metropolitan Park District will state that the new commissioners will impose a tax levy rate of 12 cents per $1,000. The 12 cents per $1,000 being proposed is relatively small, equal to approximately $30 per year for the owner of a $300,000 home, to fund a wonderful communityowned asset that serves all segments of the community and enhances the quality of life here in Sequim and the surrounding Dungeness Valley. Melinda Griffith Sequim (Griffith is a SARC board director.)

Stop partisanship, build coalitions

Why can’t we build coalitions and consensus in Clallam County? Is there something in the water? Heaven knows the infrastructure for progress should be here. In addition to multiple layers of government, we have more than 125 nonprofit groups struggling to meet our needs. Do we really need that many organizations to provide cultural enrichment and to attack the problems of our children, our homeless, our unemployed, our handicapped, our elderly? Surely, we could be more effective if some of these well-intentioned groups came together, combined resources and focused their energy. The recent discussions between the SARC advocates and the City of Sequim are a compelling metaphor for what I see as the underlying weakness of agencies committed to quality of life in Clallam County.

From page A-12 Most would agree that SARC failed in its responsibility to provide long-range planning for its facility. Only in late 2014 did we learn of its possible 2016 closure. Most would agree that the Sequim/ Dungeness community needs SARC’s resources. Most also would agree that the change in the dayto-day leadership at SARC is reassuring. SARC is now an asset open to all and welcoming to our young families and children. This change encouraged many of us to support the SARC election in February. Unfortunately, it failed.

lies across our state of Washington, which has a median household income of $57,000, decreasing tuition is a big deal. It opens up a door to advancement for their kids who may not be poor enough to get any need grants, and yet without enough income to enable them to go to college. You try paying $13,000 tuition on a $57,000 income! Of course, as McIntire has emphasized, we can’t lower tuition and increase state need grants with our current tax system. We can’t fully fund K-12 education or early learning. We can’t take care of the mentally ill. We can’t meet our contractual obligations to public employees. Instead, McIntire proposes we decrease the sales tax, eliminate the state property tax, reduce the business tax and institute a flat 5 percent income tax. If the Legislature implemented this, then we would have the resources to fund K-12 education, higher education and all the public services we take for granted. Our state treasurer has thrown down the gauntlet. Now the Legislature should take it up.

Now SARC seems desperate to unilaterally establish a Metropolitan Park District that would save SARC’s mission and building but destroy any opportunity for a comprehensive parks district that would serve our whole community. SARC’s advocates are trying to make Sequim the villain in this fight. Claim: Sequim didn’t support the levy, so now we must go with an MPD. Fact: The City of Sequim never was asked to formally support the levy, but its citizens, by 62 percent to 38 percent, voted for it. Had the rest of the voters followed Sequim’s lead, the levy would have passed. We wouldn’t be in this mess! For over a year the City of

Sequim’s Parks and Recreation Board has worked on a long-range master plan. That plan included consideration of a Metropolitan Parks District. SARC did not invent this concept. It has been on the table for months. The long-range plan was reviewed by the city council in December and adopted in February. It is not a matter of who is right or wrong! It is a matter of what is best! Before we take steps that would inhibit the growth of parks and recreation services for all our citizens, let’s take a breath. SARC should accept the city’s offer of support in solving its short-range financial problems. The city should welcome SARC

At our first parade in Tacoma, Princesses Amanda and Morgan sang it the whole time. I haven’t gotten it out my head yet. Question 24: Who is one person you would like to meet? O’Mera: Andrew Jackson. He’s my favorite president. I learned a lot about him in AP history and in leadership class I wrote about him. He’s so cool. Bonus Question 4: Would you ever run for president? O’Mera: Probably not. I am president of the junior class. Question 22: If you could go anywhere in the world after the Irrigation Festival, where would you go? O’Mera: Spain. I’m currently saving up to go there in college. I’m not sure of my career path but I want to minor in Spanish no matter what I do. Question 50: What is the greatest driving song of all time? O’Mera: I recently found one of Taylor Swift’s first CDs from when I was in middle school. I’ve been rocking out to that the past week. It’s surprising how you don’t listen to it for so long and 10 seconds later you are singing it word for word.

ton’s longest running festival in history, “The 120th Irrigation Festival” (May 1-10), the kick-off weekend has cut off many visitors and travelers who would have found this easy access eliminated. Not only does this decision prevent visitors from a fun experience but a huge REDUCTION to Sequim’s economy. A few years ago Washington had a ferry failure and moved one ferry to another route also hurting the ART FESTIVAL on a nearby island. What a shame to the pre-planning of families with children, jobs, hotel reservations and all that the event coordinators have prepared. Linda Hindes Sequim

Neither party has a long-term plan for fully funding K-12 education, higher education, mental health, public employee contracts a n d t e a ch er cost-of-living adjust ment s (COLAs). Why not? Because neither party has the will to implement systemic changes in our tax system.

To put that in perspective, that’s $10 a week for each student in our K-12 system. We are not going to meet our constitutional obligation to fund basic education with that minimal increase.

The report also states he used the Tuckers’ personal account to pay for his personal car insurance three times totaling $1,420. Jeanine McQuillen, Donald’s elderly mother with Alzheimer’s disease, was listed as a victim with her personal credit card used January 2011-June 2011 for nine transactions for $1,444 for gas and personal items.

SHOULD STATE LAWMAKERS

RAISE YOUR TAXES SO GOVERNOR INSLEE CAN PAY BACK HIS UNION SUPPORTERS? In the 2012 election, big union bosses representing powerful government unions contributed $4.7 MILLION TO GOVERNOR INSLEE’S CAMPAIGN FOR GOVERNOR. And now he’s trying to return the favor with your tax dollars. At least $1 billion of the $1.5 billion tax increase Inslee and Democrats want in this budget would be used to give unionized state employees a hefty pay raise. Which means more dues money for the unions and more campaign contributions for Jay Inslee. IT’S TIME TO STOP THE ENDLESS CYCLE OF CRONYISM AND CORRUPTION IN OLYMPIA. YOUR TAXES SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR NECESSARY SERVICES, NOT TO PAY OFF THE GOVERNOR’S DEBT TO HIS UNION BENEFACTORS.

Opposed to political pay backs and higher taxes? Call the legislative hotline and ask lawmakers to reject the House budget.

Friendships for the ages forms the heart of Olympic Theatre Arts’ latest production “Lark Eden.” Three friends in their twilight years, Thelma (Charlotte Price), Emily (Cheri Lemley) and Mary (Melissa Murray), reminisce about good times and bad starting on May 8 in the theater’s gathering hall. Natalie Symons’ play centers around small town Lark Eden, Ga., as the women interact through letters from their 30s to their 80s in two acts. Each woman is distinct with Mary seeking something to believe in, Thelma serving as the sanctimonious one and Mary acting as the feisty one. Director Charlotte Carroll said

‘V-E Day’

When spring is in the air, our fancies turn to thoughts of love … as in, we sure do LOVE fresh radishes this time of year! When a friend mentioned finding radishes at a roadside produce stand near her house, it brought to mind one of the great pleasures of living in and around Sequim that we often take for granted — the numerous farm stands dotting the area offering fresh, locally grown produce well before the Sequim Farmers Market begins its season and providing insight into our local farming community. We decided to spend last Saturday afternoon acquainting ourselves with a few of our local gems. Our first stop was Sofie Farm on Evans Road, where we enjoyed learning about the proprietor’s great-grandfather who homesteaded the land in the 1800s and operated one of the area’s first dairy farms. More recently, a larger-thanexpected corn harvest from the family garden led to a crazy idea: Why not offer the excess bounty for sale? The success of that venture led to a farm stand now stocked with spinach, radishes, tomato plants and more. Just follow the hand-painted white signs with red lettering advertising “organic produce.” You’re welcome. Next we visited Nick’s Organic Garden, a charming farm stand on Sequim-Dungeness Way just south of the entrance to Sunland. The stand itself was chock full of fresh farm eggs, large bunches of beets and Swiss chard, even vegetable and herb starts. The neatest item at Nick’s Organic Garden stand was the small chalkboard filled with notes and updates about what’s happening on the farm. Reading about their progress with this year’s flock of hens connects us with the farm’s daily routine while an informational sheet with tips for saving water during this summer’s drought connects the farm with the greater community. After that, we visited some old friends at the Family Farm, located just past McDonald Creek on Old Olympic Highway. Though the greenhouses are bursting to the seams with gorgeous hanging baskets and flowers, most are

pre-sold and the farm stand doesn’t have much to offer the public … yet. Stop by a bit later in the season and you will be treated to a wide selection of flowers and flower arrangements, dahlias and fresh vegetables galore. A half-dozen hoop houses (and experienced growers) allow for the widest variety of local products available at just about any farm stand we know. A short jaunt farther west on Old Olympic Highway is Johnston Farms, located on Heuslein Road. Christie and Kelly Johnston were recognized as “Farmers of the Year” by the North Olympic Land Trust in 2013 and are vendors at the Port Angeles Farmers Market. At the entrance to the farm is a sign listing all the fresh items available at the Lisa Boulware and Mark Ozias have been stand, including spinach, lettuce and growing, processing, selling, purchasing, mixed greens, garlic, potatoes and eggs. distributing, preparing and promoting loThe Johnstons grow a wide variety of crops cally produced food in Sequim since 2004.

throughout the season (Christie’s celery is a favorite!) and their farm stand provides regular access all year long. Current hours are 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday. As Saturday is their market day, the stand was closed. However, a detour to the Agnew Grocery for a bottle of wine from their wonderfully eclectic selection led to the happy discovery of fresh bags of Johnston Farms mixed greens in the cooler. Exactly what we were looking for! There are many more farm stands out in and around our area; do yourself a favor and finally STOP at that stand you’ve driven by a hundred times. You won’t leave with just a bag of fresh delicious vegetables; you will leave with a feeling of connection to your community and possibly to people you haven’t even met. That, friends, is our favorite way to “Eat well and be well.”

and made new friendships.” Carroll, who directs for the first time for OTA, said “Lark Eden” sets out to do what theater always should do. “It made me sad, it made me cry, it made me laugh and it made me happy,” she said.

The Second Stage production by OTA also features Didi Ryall as assistant director and Elaine Caldwell as production manager. For more information on the play, call 683-7326 or visit olympictheatrearts.com.

stories that Evelyn had written during the war. These unleash a flood of memories that make her young again, for the day. The story goes back to see a youthful Evie (Leona Voss), her friend Lil (Karla Messerschmidt-Morgan), a young Bernard (played by show director Pat Owens), and younger Aimee (Kaylee DeChant). Sholtion said the idea came to her 20 years ago while working at a Jewish newspaper after a man dropped off a box of old newsletters that had been sent to Jewish troops from Cleveland. The play and its characters are a composite of different individuals who were actually in the war as soldiers in real situations. “I found entries from dozens of people I knew, including my father who had died 15 years earlier,” Sholtion said. “Seeing my parents and their friends in their youthful incarnation was a revelation giving me new understanding of their subsequent disappointments.” Sholtion said the box of letters in her play provides a gift for Aimee in that the “long-suffering daughter is able to witness the glorious but brief transformation.” Sholtion wrote “V-E DAY”

Sac fly, Rhodefer help Sequim edge Riders BASEBALL Grubb, Hilliard one-hit Buccaneers by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

Coach Dave Ditlefsen looked to Sequim ace Tanner Rhodefer to help end a four-game skid on last week against the Wolves’ rival. The SHS senior gave the Wolves exactly what they needed. Rhodeferstruckout10Roughriders to out-duel Jansen Pederson and Sequim’s Gavin Velarde hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh as Sequim edged Port Angeles 3-2 in Sequim. “He (Rhodefer) really has command of all three pitches and can throw them at any time,” Ditlefsen said. Port Angeles got on the board first with a pair of runs in the first inning, taking advantage of two walks, a hit and a passed ball. “I had a little trouble with my fastball in the first inning (but my) pitches were working,” Rhodefer said. “This was a good win for us.” After that, however, Rhodefer was dominant, only getting into one more spot of trouble. Port Angeles loaded the bases in the fourth and Rider Matt Hendry drove a pitch into shallow center

Sequim tied it up on a passed ball, setting the stage for the seventh inning. Rhodefer struck out the side — including Port Angeles’ 1, 2 and 3 hitters — to blank the Roughriders

in their half of the inning. “I wanted to finish (the game) — I felt like it’s my responsibility,” Rhodefer said. “He deserved it,” Ditlefsen said. Daniel Harker led off Sequim’s seventh with a double. Nigel Christian earned an intentional walk, and after James Grubb struck out, P.A.’s Pederson hit

Three teams have separated themselves from the rest of the Olympic League and Sequim is once again in the lead pack. With a split of league match-ups last week, the Wolves are at 7-2 and tied with Olympic for second place behind undefeated Port Angeles. The a s-of-yet-unconquered Roughriders overcame an early 2-0 deficit to knock off the host Sequim Wolves 10-2 on April 29, as both teams donned pink uniforms to promote cancer awareness. Rider sophomore pitcher Nizhoni Wheeler tossed seven strong innings, only giving up a pair of unearned runs on the bottom of the second as Sequim (7-2 in league play, 10-4 overall) took a 2-0 lead. Port Angeles (7-0, 12-0) rebounded to score five runs off starter Allysen Montelius in the fourth inning to take the lead, one they’d never relinquish, thanks to some timely hitting and several Sequim errors. “It was routine plays,” Sequim head coach Mike McFarlen said.

“(Without those), it was a lot closer than the score says.” Sequim rebounded to knock off Kingston 9-6 on May 1. The top four teams are vying for top seeds to the West Central District tournament, set for May 22-23 at Tacoma’s Sprinker Fields. McFarlen said his team is looking to regroup and get back to its winning ways. “Lots of hard work — that’s all we can do,” he said. “Just hit the ball. This team is streaky. We’ve got to find a way to stay focused.” Sequim was slated to host North Mason on May 5. The Wolves are at Black Hills for a non-league game on May 9 before playing at Port Angeles on May 12. Sequim closes the regular season with a home game against Kingston on May 14 and a nonleaguer at White River on May 20.

Sequim’s best golf seems to be coming at the end of the season just in time for a state push. Last week, the boys and girls won their lone league match with the girls cementing another Olympic League Championship. The boys (5-2) and girls (7-0) hosted Bremerton on April 28 at The Cedars at Dungeness with some of the boys shooting their lowest scores of the year — Jack Shea went for 34 (2-under-par), followed by Travis Priest at 37, Jade Arnold at 42, and Josiah Carter at 45. Alex McCracken also shot a 43. The boys won 156-199, their lowest team score of the year. Hunter Bradley led the Knights by shooting a 43. Sequim girls won with a season high 111-74 points over the

Knights led by Alex McMenamin shooting a 39 followed by Kailee Price (46), Sarah Shea (47), and Kelly Anders and Brianna Kettel (49). Tucker Alexander led the Knights with a 48. The girls look to keep their winning streak going by hosting the Klahowya Eagles on Wednesday. The boys traveled to Olympic on Monday and also host Klahowya on Wednesday. The Olympic League Golf Championships run in Sequim on May 12. In non-league action, Sequim boys performed well in two tournaments. At the Port Ludlow Invite on April 28, Priest and Shea shot a tournament high 70 at 2-under-par to medal while Sequim finished fourth at 45-over-par. McCracken and Black shot a combined 92 and Josiah Carter and Connor Titterness shot 99 together. Port Angeles won the tournament at 28-over-par

(May is Exercise is Medicine Month. Exercise is Medicine is a global health initiative managed by the American College of Sports Medicine focused on encouraging primary care physicians and other health care providers to include physical activity when designing treatment plans for patients.) It is a solution to the greatest public health problem of the 21st century. It has been shown to help prevent and treat more than 40 chronic diseases. In the U.S., with alarming increases in chronic diseases and rising health Guest care costs, Column many see the exercise as Pauline Geraci part of the solution. That philosophy is the seed for Exercise is Medicine (EIM) Month. During May, communities throughout the U.S. will hold activities that recognize physical activity and exercise should be part of everyone’s health care plan. Since 2010, EIM Month has been proclaimed by mayors, governors, Congress and the President. Now the City of Sequim has declared May as EIM Month. Sequim is getting it and so are health advocates and public officials around the world, with growing movements on six continents. EIM is a global health initiative managed by the American College of Sports Medicine that is focused on encouraging primary care physicians and other health care providers to include physical activity when designing treatment plans for patients. It also is encouraging exercise professionals to educate their clients about the benefits of becoming more active and in communicating how clients can speak with their primary care physicians about ways to increase their physical activity. Physical activity is integral in the prevention and treatments of diseases and should be regularly assessed and “treated” as part of all medical care. EIM encourages primary care doctors write out prescriptions for exercise, not just drugs.

By the numbers Although the benefits of exercise in preventing and controlling a number of diseases are wellknown, about half of Americans report that they engage in at least the recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity. In addition, 76 percent did not meet recommendations for muscle-strengthening physical activity. A 2011 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found only about 10 percent of adults actually met recommended levels, though 62 percent reported they did. A study in 2008 shows that physical inactivity costs the U.S. health care system $330 per person each year, which equals more than $102 billion annually. In addition, 40 percent of U.S. primary care doctors and 36 percent of U.S. medical students do not meet 2008 federal physical activity guidelines. Physical inactivity is a fastgrowing public health problem and contributes to a variety of chronic diseases and health problems including cancer, diabetes and obesity. According to the World Health Organization’s most recent Global Health Risks data (2004) after high blood pressure, tobacco use and high blood glucose, physical inactivity is the fourth leading cause of death globally. Research shows that a low level of physical activity exposes a patient to a greater risk of dying than does smoking, obesity, hypertension or high cholesterol, and for older men, regular physical activity can decrease the risk

of death by 40 percent. Active individuals in their 80s have a lower risk of death than inactive individuals in their 60s. Regular physical activity can: • Reduce mortality and the risk of recurrent breast cancer by approximately 50 percent. • Lower the risk of colon cancer by over 60 percent. • Reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by approximately 40 percent. • Reduce the incidence of heart disease and high blood pressure by approximately 40 percent. • Lower the risk of stroke by 27 percent. • Lower the risk of developing type II diabetes by 58 percent. • Be twice as effective in treating type II diabetes as the standard insulin prescription and can save $2,250 per person per year when compared to the cost of standard drug treatment. • Can decrease depression as effectively as Prozac or behavioral therapy. • Adults with better muscle strength have a 20 percent lower risk of mortality (33 percent lower risk of cancer specific mortality) than adults with low muscle strength. • A low level of fitness is a bigger risk factor for mortality than mild-moderate obesity. It is better to be fit and overweight than unfit with a lower percentage of body fat. • Regular physical activity has been shown to lead to higher SAT scores for adolescents. • In an elementary school setting, regular physical activity can decrease discipline incidents involving violence by 59 percent and decrease out of school suspensions by 67 percent.

Get moving So what can you do this month? There are countless physical activities out there, but there is one simple activity that has so many benefits! It’s not a new fad with a fancy name; it’s walking. Of all the physical activities that you can engage in, walking has the lowest dropout rate of them all! It’s the simplest positive change you can make to effectively improve your heart health. Even Hippocrates, the father of medicine during fifth century Athens, said, “Walking is man’s best medicine.” In research from the Norwich Medical School at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England, risk of stroke, coronary heart disease, depression and other life-threatening conditions can be reduced through regular outdoor walking, especially group walking. According to the data, regular participation in a group walking program offers many benefits. “Statistically significant improvements were found in a range of widely used health measures: systolic and diastolic blood pressure resting heart rate, body fat, BMI, total cholesterol, VO2max, depression, 6-minute walk time, and quality of life for physical functioning,” the authors explained. Researchers also found that walking is a cost-effective and low-risk way of improving overall health. The researchers also suggested that doctors should prescribe that patients join a walking group for added health benefits. Exercise, especially walking, is indeed medicine!

As a parent you have a lot more to do with how smart your child is than you may think. Helping your child be smarter begins with your conversations with your child before she begins to speak. Watch how she listens to you and listens to your voice. She is really involved with the words you are saying and with your smile and your hugs. She is learning. This happens all the time in her growing years. Remember how excited you were when she first said Mommy or Daddy. You may have had to listen very carefully or you might have missed it but most of us are waiting to hear those precious words that mean so much to us. She saw your excitement when she said the words and she remembered. She liked you being excited. Some of your excitement probably showed when she said her first sentence. I remember one of my children’s first sentences; it was “Buggy bit me.” She was correct. She had been bitten by a bee. Research points out how important the words are that your child hears. They even have concluded that the more words a child hears, the smarter she will become. So where is your little one hearing words? Hopefully, most of the words she hears are not coming from a television set because those words don’t have the same impact as words spoken to her. Books are a place children

learn words. When you read her a story or even when you go through a book and talk about the pictures in the book, she is learning. You certainly want to make sure that you read at least a book or two to her each day. Let her pick out the book. Let her use her words to tell you about the book. You eventually will start to hear her saying the words you have read to her. She is becoming smarter. A great time to hear words is when it is time to get ready for dinner. As she gets older, she wants to help. Let her help put the silverware on the table but talk about what she is doing. Let her hear ways she can help and be sure to tell her that it is really great that she is helping. You want her to want to help and a good way to do that is to let her know how helpful she is. She wants you to be pleased with her. When you sit down to dinner with the whole family (hopefully), talk about your day. Ask her questions and let her share her day. Never let the conversation just be between the adults

and hopefully never let it be going on while the television is on. Dinner should be a special family time together and should include everyone talking together. Dinners help her become smarter with your help. Talk to her and with her in the car. Most of us spend a significant amount of time in the car. This is a great place to talk her about it. As she gets older, see if she can tell you, to learn new words, and just to learn about the world. Get excited about what you see and tell the name of the street you are driving down or one that you should turn on. Each of these trips can help her become smarter. Every night finish off the day with a time to talk together in bed. You don’t need to spend a long time but it should be a special time each night.

The Science Department of Sequim Middle School would like to showcase the following students as “Catalysts” for Term 3. A catalyst in a science classroom consistently displays an exceptional level of participation. They are curious and questioning. They ask those thought provoking inquiries which extend understanding. They are engrossed and engaged. They clearly and accurately share their observations, both verbally and in writing. They are analytical and articulate. Catalysts are the sparks which ignite learning! In sixth grade, teacher Isabella Morrison celebrates the accomplishments of Jessica German, Emma Sharp, Audrey Bennett, Kate D’Amico, Noah King, Kaydence Hilliard and Caira Taylor. Teacher Steve Koehler recognizes Jayla Julmist, Erik Holtrop, Anna Bell and Abby Garcia. Teacher Joe Landoni tips his hat to seventh-graders Alissa Lofstrom, Nicholas Charters, Cedar Vickery, Lesae Pfeffer, Payton Sturm, Mike McAleer, Jessica Dietzman, Erin Dwyer, Blaise Beuke, Joshua King and Kristina Mingoy.

Sequim artist seeks record deal in Australia OTA announces Downunder Label auditions for Group likes Taylor’s ‘Picasso’ comedy commercial voice Sequim folk singer/songwriter Tom Taylor hopes to sign a record deal with Australian Christian music group the Downunder Label Group. He’s gained a number of fans from radio play in Australia the past few years. Photo courtesy of Tom Taylor

by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Six albums later, Sequim recording artist Tom Taylor continues to find fans down under. Taylor, who began receiving significant airplay in Christian radio stations across Australia a few years ago, is now in process of signing a multiple record deal through the Downunder Label Group, a group of Christian record labels. “The response has been very positive,” Taylor said of Aussies. “They are the place I’ve sold the most (songs and albums) from playing on Vision Radio Network on about 600 stations.” Taylor has never been to Australia before but submitted his music two years ago for airplay consideration to Ebon Knox, music director for Rhema Newcastle: a Christian radio station based in New South Wales, Australia. Knox, also Downunder’s label director, reviewed the album for the label and offered a publishing deal for Taylor’s album “Taking Me Back.”

But, “it wasn’t the Lord’s timing to make a deal with them at that time,” Taylor said. He recently completed his seventh album “Windows and Walls” in his home and submitted the album for consideration but Taylor was told it didn’t meet their standards. However, he was offered an artist and development deal, and a newly recorded album with Downunder’s Sydney production team. Taylor said the opportunity is exciting and would be his first fully produced material. Previously, he held online fundraisers to partially produce one or a few

Then and Now: Hotel Sinclair by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

With time a handful of Sequim’s landmark structures have aged, yet still stand as quiet reminders of the past. In this series, Gazette staff 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. Before electricity had readily reached Sequim 107 years ago, the area’s first hotel of note was built at the corner of Washington Street and Sequim Avenue. Hotel Sinclair included 50 rooms and later two annexes. Eventually the growing structure housed a cafe, saloon, barber shop, shoe shine parlor, card room, telephone office and bakery. “The new hotel became the hub of the community,” according to “Dungeness: Lure of the River” by the Sequim Bicentennial History Book Committee. The once bustling life ignited by the hotel’s exis-

The location of U.S. Bank at the southwest corner of Washington Street and Sequim Avenue was once considered a community hub when one of Sequim’s earliest lodgings, the Hotel Sinclair, was open. Sequim Gazette photo by Alana Linderoth

Hotel Sinclair was built in 1908 by early Sequim settler Joseph Keeler. Within four years of being built, the Hotel Sinclair and its additions housed a variety of things including a cafe, saloon, barber shop, shoe shine parlor, card room, telephone office and bakery.

tence is hardly felt today. Instead, the corner is occupied by the U.S. Bank, Sequim branch. Prior to U.S. Bank, however, Peoples Bank first moved into the location of the hotel in 1972, according to City of Sequim’s records: “A diary of the history of Sequim, its settlement and the first one hundred years

of incorporation.” Built by Joseph Keeler, Hotel Sinclair was one of many development endeavors Keeler spearheaded in Sequim. After moving to Sequim in 1903, Keeler co-owned a lumber mill and started the first telephone office. The mill later supplied the wood used to build the hotel. Consistent with his ambitious efforts, Keeler bet every room in Hotel Sinclair would have running water and electricity, according to “Jimmy Come Lately: history of Clallam County,” a symposium published by Clallam County

Historical Society. To win his bet, Keeler constructed a water tower that provided each room with gravity-fed water and brought in a gas powered generator for electricity. The construction of Hotel Sinclair and its availability to both water and electricity spurred the onset of further development within the heart of Sequim. Soon Keeler helped lay pipelines to supply water to other buildings and the Sequim Light and Power Company got its start. By 1914, the demand for electricity had grown and soon the Olympic Power

Company supplied power to Sequim from the Elwha River, according to “Dungeness: The Lure of the River.” While Sequim and the surrounding area continued to take shape, Hotel Sinclair matured into a popular space for the community to gather and enjoy “family dinners.” Less then a century ago it cost 35 cents per plate to eat at Hotel Sinclair. “The menu contained cream of clam soup, relishes, young Sequim chicken fried in butter, Belgian hare fried with country gravy, or prime roast beef, sliced tomatoes

fruit salad, mashed potatoes, young corn on the cob, strawberry shortcake, green apple pie, tea, coffee, milk or buttermilk,” according to “Dungeness: The Lure of the River.” By 1916, the price had jumped to 50 cents per plate and meals were served twice daily. Although Hotel Sinclair has long been gone and the cost for an equivalent dinner is far from 50 cents, its presence marked a dynamic, changing point in local history – a time of rapid growth and advancements in technology.

Sponsored by caring pet lovers. EVE was very scared when we first got her, but she has since become very sweet! Eve needs to go to a home where she will be the only pet, and where there are no kids. She can be very protective of her home so she will need a fenced yard to keep her safe. Eve loves to play fetch! If you are looking for a loyal pit bull, please consider Eve! MADI is a HIGH ENERGY girl! She definitely would benefit from having a job to do. Madi has lots of potential. She came to us having problems with food aggression, but is doing A LOT better. Madi is OK with some other dogs, and she may do really well paired up with another high energy dog so they can play every day. Madi needs an experienced owner and a home with either LOTS of property or a well fenced yard.

www.stinkydogubathe.com UNO GRANDE is a sweet boy with people, and he has lived with other animals, but he does NOT LIKE OTHER DOGS at the shelter. Uno would be a challenging dog for a first time dog owner since he is a big and strong boy. He will need a large-dog-experienced owner that can handle him! But he is SO sweet and friendly with people, he will just lean against you and beg for more attention!

LADY is a sweet girl! Super friendly with people, and seems to want to play with other dogs as well. However, she is NOT good with cats! Lady is a high energy dog that would benefit from an owner that can provide her with lots of socializing and exercise! She is not the type of dog that you can just have in your yard... She will need continuous socializing to keep her behaving like a good citizen.
