The weather was great, the residents were happy and Sequim continued its streak hosting Washington’s oldest festival May 1-10. Many of the Sequim Irrigation Festival’s events in its 120th year saw record attendance and more success in its two weekends said festival director Deon Kapetan. “It went so well we might do it again next year,” she joked. The Grand Parade on May 9, typically known for its long-running time and large gaps, finished in under two hours with 120 entries.

The future of the Natural Resources program offered by the North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center is no longer in limbo — and seemingly secure. Making a switch from its original recommendation to Port Angeles School District, the skills center’s administrative council unanimously supported the continuation of the program May 6. “My goal here is how do we maintain the program,” Kelly Shea, Sequim School District superintendent, said during the meeting. “We need to determine which problems we want to solve based on which ones we think give benefits to the most students.” The financial viability and its compliance with the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction’s (OSPI) requirements were the cause for concern, Diana Reaume, Quillayute Valley School District superintendent and council chairman, explained. Although the council composed of superintendents from Quillayute Valley, Cape Flattery, Crescent, Port Angeles and Sequim and Peninsula College’s president, recognize the value of the program, Reaume said, the council has been mulling over the discontinuation of the program since October. Prior to making a recommendation, the council wanted

Consultant narrows Sequim city manager search City councilors to choose semi-finalists May 26 Sequim Gazette staff

The decision for Sequim’s next city manager is coming closer. Human Resources Director Susanne Connelly said they received 72 applications to replace outgoing City Manager Steve Burkett who plans to retire this summer after working for the city since October 2009. Consulting firm Baenziger & Associates will select 10-15 semi-finalists for

Sequim city councilors to choose from on May 18 and on May 26 the firm will meet in executive session with the councilors where they’ll tentatively choose finalists. Connelly said she’s also listed the public works director position vacancy following the departure of Paul Haines in late 2014. She’s received six applications so far and expects about 25 total before the May 26 closing date. Connelly said it’s a hard position

to recruit for due to its diversity of requirements but she’s sent brochures to 100 Washington cities and Burkett is helping, too. Interim Public Works Director David Garlington said he plans to apply. Next week also is Administrative Services Director Elray Konkel’s last week with the city following his retirement. Sue Hagener, former accounts manager, will replace him. City Attorney Craig Ritchie announced he tentatively plans to retire at the end of the year, too, but a date hasn’t been set.

From page A-1 the Sequim Noon Rotary organized a new system, “making it much easier to manage and limited the gaps more.” The Car Cruzz Show at the Sequim Walmart, which started with a parade down Washington Street, saw record attendance with 185 entries. This year it included motorcycles and antique trailers. The carnival at Sequim High School’s baseball/ softball fields increased its revenue, too, which helps support the festival, Kapetan said. “Even on Sunday, Mother’s Day, it was packed,” she said. The only thing possibly working against the festival this year may have been it being too popular. The logging show and expanded tractor pull were so popular that parking was difficult to find at times both Friday and Saturday. Kapetan said they’ll look in the next year for solutions

ARE YOU READY FOR

to fix the parking problem. The parade and logging show make up the festival’s Grand Finale Weekend while the previous weekend was Crazy Callen Weekend. Last year, organizers renamed the festival’s two weekends to credit the origins of the area. “A lot of people don’t know Crazy Callen, which prompts a lot of people to ask about the history,” Kapetan said. More people may be tuned into the festival’s draw soon as it is scheduled to appear on an upcoming segment of “Evening Magazine,” too. “Our little town is not so secret anymore,” Kapetan said. The Irrigation Festival royalty continues to represent Sequim through the summer tentatively at 13 more parades and events with the Port Townsend Rhododendron Festival next at 1 p.m. May 16. Volunteers manage and operate the festival annually and help is welcome. Look for more information at www.irrigationfestival. com.

TIDE CHARTS

InHealth Imaging is the only facility on the West Sound with a 3T MRI, the most powerful magnet clinically available. And an MRI does not have to be expensive. For example, at InHealth Imaging a routine MRI costs between $600 and $900 depending on your insurance plan. The cost of an MRI at other facilities may cost between $2000 and $4000 because of facility fees and added charges. If you have met your deductible you will still be paying between 10% and 30% of these charges.

These tides are corrected for Dungeness Bay.

Sequim Arts group offers scholarship Sequim Arts offers scholarships each year to students interested in pursuing a career in art, fine arts, art education or commercial art. Scholarship range from $500-$1,000. Scholarships must be used within one year of the award. In order to qualify for the scholarship, students must be residents of Clallam County. The scholarship award is predicated on the student’s application and acceptance at a college for a minimum of 12 credits per term, with at least five of those course credits in art or in an art school. Students need to provide a portfolio to Sequim Arts by June 1. Those portfolios must contain the following: a photo of the applicant; a cover letter; a resume of the student’s achievements, community involvement in the arts and a written statement of goals (short- and long-term); letters of recommendation and examples of student’s art work.

clarification on the program’s status after its April 28 meeting where about 50 people attended to listen and provide public comment. Upon further inquiry, skills center director Peggy Templeton reported May 6 that the Natural Resources program made $32,994 after expenses during the 20142015 academic year. The bulk of the revenue generated by the program comes from what’s referred to as the “Natural Resources Option” class, which isn’t in compliance with the OSPI, Reaume said. But, OSPI officials are “willing to work with us,” she added.

status – that’s between him, his union representative and the Port Angeles School District,” Shea said. “Our role is to determine whether or not it is feasible to run the Natural Resources program.” Although the redesign of the program is to be determined, in light of the financial status, achievable OSPI requirements and ample community support heard through public comment, the skills center’s recommendation supports the program going forth into the 20152016 academic year. Available to students from Sequim to LaPush since 2008, the project-based field science class aims to expose students to ecosystems and both natural and cultural resources through servicelearning. “Through the Natural Resources classes, students earn credit and obtain skills, schools gain additional options that fit diverse learners and community organizations connect with and train potential future employees as these youth participate in environmental projects,” Lieberman said. The program is one of three skills center satellite programs within the Sequim School District. As of March the program had 17 Sequim students enrolled, according Lieberman. Because the Natural Resources program has nearly discontinued, the course wasn’t widely promoted.

is a matter of “resubmitting and redoing the framework,” she said. Operating the program as either a Career and Technical Education or an Alternative Learning Experience each has its own set of requirements. Maintaining its status as an Alternative Learning Experience requires Lieberman to become highly qualified in order for students to receive credit recovery, Reaume explained to the council. Additionally, it would require adjusting the part-time aspect of the Natural Resources Options class — an adjustment also needed to be a Career and Technical Education class. “It sounds like we can do this (program) as a CTE or ALE class, but have to make modifications to be in compliance,” Shea said. “Fiscally, it’s covering its cost.” In weighing the challenges associated with modifying the program to get in compliance as either an Alternative Learning Experience and/or a Career and Technical Education program, the council concluded Lieberman’s input would be needed because of his knowledge of the class and students. Marc Jackson, Port Angles School District superintendent, sought a recommendation on the future of the program because district officials have to make staffing adjustments by May 15 and Lieberman is employed by the Port Angeles School District. “I don’t think it’s within our scope as this advisory board to deal with anything in terms of Dan’s employment or highly qualified

Bidet biz offers cleanliness, comfort Can be ‘life changer’ for those with medical issues by PATRICIA MORRISON COATE Sequim Gazette

If Robert Streett had his druthers, he’d like the bidet toilet seats he sells to go the way of the cellphone — once a rare luxury but now a widespread necessity. Six years ago he tried one and was sold after his first experience. Now he has two bidet seats in his home and says even his teenage boys are converts. “Washing with water just made more sense than wiping with dry paper. It just took one time and I was convinced,” Streett said. “Knowing you’re completely clean after using the toilet is like stepping out of the shower every time. Washing with water not only is hygienic but it feels good. It feels soothing.” The more he researched the bidet seat, the more aspects he saw for its use, so he opened his company and showroom on Ruth’s Place in Carlsborg in January and sells locally, nationally and internationally. Streett said he sees four areas for marketing the seats: a medical component, a green aspect, its high acceptance by many cultures and the luxury of comfort. Streett explained that c a ndidates for t he bidet seat are people with mobility issues such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Lou Gehrig’s disease, morbid obesity and post-stroke paralysis; people with brain injuries or bra in disea ses who regress in their toileting habits, those with diseases causing chronic diarrhea or bladder infections; hemorrhoids; and those with colorectal cancer. “The green aspect is you use 75-100 percent less toilet paper and you’re not consuming the resources of making toilet paper,” Streett said. “You’ll also extend the life of your septic system by not using toilet paper — and that’s especially important for commercial users. Adagio Bean & Leaf will have one soon. And then there’s the comfort of using heated water and the sense of being clean.”

Purple Haze Lavender Farm Store, 180 Bell Bottom Road, Sequim, opened for the spring season May 8. Hours will be 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Thursday-Monday; closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Lavender gifts, plants and ice cream are available.

The talk at Nash’s Farm Store is free and open to the public, though donations are accepted.

Robert Streett, owner of Clear Water Bidets, shows an electronic bidet toilet seat with an arm panel control. Sequim Gazette photos by Patricia Morrison Coate

Clear Water Bidets Location: 71 Ruth’s Place, Ste. 8, Carlsborg Phone: 565-5418 E-mail, web: robert@ clearwaterbidets.com, www. clearwaterbidets.com The bonus of a bidet seat is it easily replaces an ordinary toilet seat in about 15 minutes with just a crescent wrench and a pair of pliers. The only requirement is to have a nearby outlet in the bathroom for the tiny electric motor. Remotes controlling the seat’s functions can be wall-mounted or attached as an arm panel control. Clear Water carries 10 brands and 15 models, from the very basic under $50 to the deluxe with extra features costing over $500. The bidet’s nozzles are anatomically configured for men and women whose needs are different. Nozzles are self-cleaning before and after use and are retractable. Using a bidet toilet seat takes about 1520 seconds and automatic drying a few seconds more, Streett said.

This bidet seat’s arm panel control guides users in customizing their preferences.

Bidets have been used for more than 300 years, especially in Europe and Asia. The Japanese developed a bidet toilet seat in the 1960s and brought it to the U.S. market in the in the 1980s-1990s. Bidets are in 76 percent of Japanese homes, Streett said, and up to 180,000 bidet seats are sold annually in the U.S. Pardoning the pun, but Streett said he knows toileting is a sensitive area for Americans to discuss. “People do not want to open up about their toileting needs but it is a normal function that everyone does.

State puts Miller Peninsula trail plan to public Open house slated for May 20 in Sequim The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is inviting the public to learn about the draft interim trail plan for the Miller Peninsula State Park property at an open house in Sequim. State parks staff will present the plan from 6-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 20, at the Guy Cole Conference Center, 202 Blake Ave. The Miller Peninsula State Park property includes more than 2,800 acres in Clallam County, north of U.S. Highway 101 and east of Sequim. The property is mostly upland forest, with more than three miles of shoreline on the Strait of

Juan de Fuca and Discovery Bay. In developing the interim plan, state park staffers worked with a trail advisory group, which included property neighbors and representatives from hiking, biking and equestrian use groups. The interim trail plan establishes trail management objectives for existing and proposed park trails, identifies needed trail maintenance, signage and other related improvements, and sets forth recommendations for working with volunteer groups to assist in trail maintenance and improvement projects. In 2005, state park staffers under-

the efforts were placed on hold because of an economic downturn two years later. State officials say they are now focused on an interim management plan of the property until funding becomes available for more improvements. Following the open house, the Draft Interim Trail Plan goes to the state parks director for approval. Find more information about the interim trail plan at www.parks. wa.gov.

“In my opinion, the law is unclear whether the petition in question is sufficient and the proposition should be submitted to the voters because the statute that governs the sufficiency of petitions uses both ‘mandatory’ and ‘directory’ terms when prescribing the ‘essential elements’ for a petition,” Riggs said according to court documents.

Nichols also noted that no previous court cases appear to have addressed similar statutes in regard to a metropolitan park district. How the court decides on the motions Friday will dictate what happens next, Nichols said, noting Riggs’ desire to have the issues at hand fully resolved by May 22 to allow time to meet deadlines associated with the August ballot. Normally, candidates already would have begun to file for positions on the metropolitan park district’s governing board so if the new taxing district got approved in August, voters also may elect the five board members, too. Because a declaratory judgment action is needed before candidates can file however, Riggs may have to authorize a special filing period. Riggs must certify the petition to form a metro-

tan park district proposed by SARC commissioners would instate a tax of 12 cents per $1,000 assessed property valuation within Sequim School District boundaries. However, any metropolitan park district has the legal ability to tax up to 75 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation. W hile SA RC officials have opted to pursue a metropolitan park district sooner rather than later because of SARC’s financial status, City of Sequim officials are looking to propose a metropolitan park district that includes a wide array of community organizations on the February 2016 ballot. The development of a broad-based metropolitan park district “is only relevant if the current proposal is not on the ballot in August or fails,” Steve Burkett, Sequim city manager, told the Gazette in a previous interview. “I’ve lived here 20 years and I’ve never seen lines drawn like this, especially when there is no logical reason why this (MPD) can’t be broadened down the road,” O’Neil said. City officials have expressed they “strongly” support SARC and want it to continue, Ritchie said, but argued he “can’t get around the statute.” Regardless of what city officials say, their actions have said otherwise, O’Neil said. “The city has been opposed to SARC’s efforts from day one and this latest tactic is truly underhanded and undermines the intention of the 4,600 voters who signed the petition supporting a vote of the people in August to form a metropolitan park district.” “Bottom line is you don’t sue people you support,” she said.

Port Angeles resident Donna May Putnam died May 9, 2015, in Port Angeles at the age of 80. A memorial service will be at 3 p.m. Wednesday, May 20, at Joyce Bible Church, 50470 Highway 112, Port Angeles. A committal service with military honors by the U.S. Navy will be Thursday, May 21, at Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent.

The Michael Trebert Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution hosts its last formal meeting of the 2014-2015 year at 10 a.m. Wednesday, May 20, at the Veterans Center, 216 S. Francis St., Port Angeles. The program speaker is Kathy Monds of the Clallam County Historical Society. Contact Joyce with questions at n7jpw@juno.com. The chapter supports the Veterans Stand Downs, gives calling cards to Coast Guard personnel, participates in historical events and maintains historical markers in the county as well as having speakers, a George Washington Tea and a summer picnic.

As one of the scheduled events to mark the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge’s 100th anniversary, the Coastal Watershed Institute’s Executive Director Anne Shaffer will have a free presentation on the forces that created and maintain the Dungeness Spit from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, May 16, at the Dungeness River Audubon Center in Railroad Bridge Park, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road, Sequim. The Dungeness bluffs, an approximately 7-mile long stretch of shoreline extending west from the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, provide sediments to the Dungeness Spit. These high bluffs are extremely complex in their composition and ecological function. The event is free and open to the public and no RSVP is required. See www.dungeness100.com for schedules and more information, or call the refuge office at 457-8451.

Editor’s note: This is the fifth in a monthly series about the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, past and present. — MD In February 1953, the Washington State Department of Lands granted a 10-year lease to E.W. Steffen of Seattle for an oyster farm in Dungeness Bay. The farm was to be located between the shoreline and the eelgrass beds on the north side of Dungeness Harbor next to the spit. Steffen and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service agreed on harvesting by hand and a harvest season that avoided disturbing wintering waterfowl. While Steffen honored the agreement, subsequent owners of Dungeness Oyster Company kept asking to use a dredge, but refuge managers were opposed. When the lease came up for renewal in 1963, “dueling biological studies” argued the pros and cons of whether dredging harmed eelgrass beds. While experience in some parts of the country indicated damage was possible, the evidence was not conclusive. The refuge managers also questioned whether the dredging operation would disturb the wintering waterfowl, but after an experiment proved that wrong, in 1963 the state renewed the lease for 10 years and allowed dredging. OK, so what is eelgrass and

why is it so important? Zostera marina beds are incredibly rich underwater meadows. You would need an entire book to describe the community of an eelgrass bed. It is not seaweed, but an underwater grass complete with roots and flowers. It not only provides food in itself, but it also harbors other plants and animals, ranging from the microscopic to crabs, birds and fish. It flourishes in the spring and summer and dies back in the winter. Ranging in depth from between the tides to as deep as 20-plus feet under water, it is found worldwide. The eelgrass beds are the heart of Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge. But eelgrass is vulnerable to human-caused damage. The eelgrass beds in Puget Sound have declined by 70 percent. That makes preserving the beds on Dungeness Bay all the more essential to the health of our marine environment. In 1964, Joe Engman bought D&C Oyster Company. In 1963-1964, the Port

of Port Angeles built a pier for the oyster operation on the edge of Dungeness Landing County Park. In 1969, the operator constructed a building for shucking and packing the oysters. Local residents began complaining about the ugly building and pier, not to mention the stench from the pile of empty oyster shells. Local hunters complained about fewer waterfowl and recreational clam diggers complained about being driven away from public clamming beaches by the oystermen, even though the lease agreement gave them right of access. Despite the complaints, the state granted a new lease in 1973, but only for five years. Refuge managers tried to document the times the dredge strayed into the eelgrass beds and ignored agreed-upon harvest seasons, but this was complicated by Dungeness not having a resident manager. Every year managers met with the owner

and came away with what they thought was an agreement to honor the boundaries, but nothing changed. Some local residents even signed a petition, but they were ignored. In 1978, despite these mounting objections, the state granted another 10year lease. When people demanded Fish and Wildlife “do something,” they learned the service has only a “second class title” to those tidelands, meaning Washington has the final say and enforcement authority. In 1979, what was now called M&N Oyster Company was sold to Marine Nutritional Systems, Inc. of Denver, Colo. This group planted $250,000 worth of oyster seed. Then things fell apart. Engman, the previous owner, sued them for non-payment of the sales contract. Seattle First National Bank sued them for non-payment of principal and interest. As a result, the operation was closed down “pending litigation.” An Oct. 26, 1979, article in the Wall Street Journal told of a suit from Engman for non-payment of $90,000 and reported that the SEC had begun a preliminary inquiry of Marine Nutritional. A year later ownership reverted to the Engmans. In 1989, Engman sold the operation to the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, which then applied for and received a 10year lease from the state. The tribe applied for an Urban and Housing Development grant to make the operation, now

OBITUARIES

Larry was born November 24, 1936 to Irwin and Minnie Eggebroten in Littlefork, Minnesota where he was raised along with his younger brother and sister. He married Heidi Dudel Eggebroten June 25, 1962 and they lived in Alaska and Wyoming before settling in Sequim, Washington in 1997. Larry proudly served his country in the Navy between 1953 and 1998. Larry was an active member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4760 in Sequim until his death. He was always busy with his hands, and was the ﬁrst to offer to help a neighbor or make Toys for Tots. His skilled handiwork will be missed by all who knew him. Larry is lovingly remembered by his wife Heidi and his siblings, Janet Jones of Granite Falls, Washington and Sonny Eggebroten of Littlefork, Minnesota. Also, his children, Lee (Kristie) Eggebroten of Park City, Utah and Lon (Terenna) Eggebroten of Tacoma, Washington. Larry is survived by his 5 grandchildren; Katherine and Jack Wiley of Park City, Utah; Hans and Tauvia Eggebroten of Tacoma, Washington; and Erik (Katelyn) Eggebroten of Steilacoom, Washington, as well as many beloved cousins, nieces and nephews. A memorial service is planned for May 16, 2015, 11 a.m. at the VFW Hall, 169 E. Washington St., Sequim. In lieu of ﬂowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Marines Toys for Tots program at toysfortots.org.

called JKT Oyster Company, a part of its aquaculture project. But a 2001 study showed that fecal coliform counts in Dungeness Bay were so high as to require closure of the tribal commercial shellfish operations there. Since then the state and tribe have worked hard to clean up the water. The 2014 Washington State Health Department Report lists the outer part of Dungeness Bay as “approved” for commercial harvest and the mouth of the Dungeness River as “prohibited.” The rest of both Dungeness Bay and Dungeness Harbor are “conditionally approved,” meaning shellfish may be commercially harvested during those times of

the year when pollution levels are low. The “Oyster House” was demolished about 2005, leaving the pier, its landward end blocked by barbed wire, serving as a roost for gulls and cormorants. Meanwhile, the eelgrass beds have come back, to the good of both fish and wintering waterfowl. Will commercial harvests resume? Yes, but with far more careful monitoring of both harvest methods and water quality than back in the early years. Maybe this time it will be a “win-win” for everyone. John Maxwell is the historian for the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge.

Shirley Ione Cays Cameron May 20, 1930 ~ May 1, 2015

Shirley Ione Cays Cameron died on May 1, 2015 at Dungeness Courte Memory Care of age related causes. She was just 19 days short of her 85th birthday. Shirley was the 4th of 6 children born to Ollie Ballard Cays and Orin “Skinny” Cays, in Carlsborg, Washington. They were a close knit family, working and playing together throughout her life. Shirley was Sequim Irrigation Princess and Salmon Derby Princess in high school in Sequim, and had many humorous stories about those experiences. She married Dave Cameron on September 18, 1948. They raised three children, Donna, Dave and Pete. Nothing was more important to Shirley than family. She loved picnics and holidays for family gatherings and food. She would decorate her house on every possible occasion. Christmas was special to her and she would begin putting out decorations a month ahead, often recruiting her grandsons in the project. Easter was also a great family gathering with elaborate egg hunts for nieces, nephews and grand kids, from babies in arms to teens. Shirley loved her flowers and spent hours and hours on yard work. She and Dave opened their strawberry farm in 1972 for commercial picking with up to 600 pickers, mostly children. Later they included the U-Pick fields with the help of many family members. Shirley was the “Strawberry Queen”! As a member of Sequim Bible “Trail Blazers”, the Cays sisters hosted many parties with great food and lots of games. Shirley was a member of Sequim Bible Church for over 40 years and together with Bev and Caroline, took part in many women’s activities. She trusted the Lord. Shirley is survived by her children Donna (Steve) Radcliffe, Dave (Sidne) Cameron and Pete (Jeanne) Cameron; grandsons Patrick Radcliffe, Clint Cameron and Daniel Cameron, great granddaughter Kaylee Radcliffe; sisters Caroline Baumuck and Beverly Hendrickson; and numerous nieces and nephews. A service in her honor will be held at Sequim Bible Church, 847 N. Sequim Ave, Sequim, WA at 1:00 P.M. on Saturday, May 16, 2015 followed by light refreshments at the church. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Alzheimer Association, www.alz.org/donate, or a charity of your choice. Special thanks to Dungeness Courte for the tender care they provided our Shirley these last several months.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Tax base not a ‘piggy bank’ Congratulations to the Clallam County Board of Supervisors for taking the unprecedented step of turning back some tax money. Lowering the sales tax even a part of a percent is a step in the right direction. I hope this starts a trend for local politicians in light of the overall sluggishness of our present local economy. I hope the leaders of the formation of the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center (SARC) Metropolitan recreation district also will stick to their pledge to only seek 12 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation so that SARC can continue to be a vital community asset. Our valley needs forward-thinking leaders who realize that the tax base is not a piggy bank. I encourage recreation enthusiasts to consider running for the SARC Metropolitan District governing board so that this trend of fiscal responsibility will continue. Approving this measure at the August election is a step in the right direction. We need leaders with integrity to step up and take the reins so that our citizens can continue to enjoy a healthy productive life in our unique Northwest setting. David C. Neidhardt, Jr. Sequim

Work stoppage disappoints SHS grad As a Sequim High School grad (Class of 2005), I was extremely disappointed to learn that my alma mater plans to take part in a “strike against the Legislature.” This act is not only illegal, as outlined in a 2006 Washington Attorney General opinion, but the talking points they use to justify the strike are derived from lies and deceit peddled by the Washington Education Association (WEA). It’s important to first note that teachers aren’t striking against the Legislature; they are striking against Senate Republicans. As the majority party, Senate Republicans have written a budget proposal, as have the majorityruling Democrats in the House. On May 18, teachers likely will be picketing and claiming that Andy Hill, the Senate budget writer, has proposed cutting teacher pay, increasing class size and won’t restore education funding as mandated by a 2012 court ruling known as McCleary. All of that is false. Sen. Hill has proposed giving teachers a raise for the first time in six years, cutting class sizes in K-3 and putting $1.3 billion into K-12. All of this is identical to what the House Democrats have proposed, except the Republican budget prioritizes our kids over special interest groups by funding education 3:1 compared to the rest of the budget, and while House Democrats simply ignore 4-12 class sizes, Republicans send the issue of 4-12 class sizes back to the voters and ask them if they want to fund the $2 billion more it will cost to lower them. It should be noted that data shows there is no tangible benefit to lowering class sizes after the third grade, by the way. So why are our teachers striking if the Senate proposal mirrors the House’s? Because the WEA is unhappy it doesn’t propose Washington’s first form of an income tax. They are upset it doesn’t raise energy prices by as much as $1 per gallon of gasoline. They don’t like that it doesn’t raise taxes on small businesses that provide services. Next month is my 10-year high school reunion, and admittedly, this politically driven strike makes me ashamed to be a Sequim High Wolf. However, I keep reminding myself that our teachers aren’t to blame here. The WEA and its deceitful tricks to get our teachers to rally against what many newspaper editorial boards across the state have called the “best education budget in years” is. Kids should be in the classroom, not the living room. Keith Schipper Seattle

SARC, city ‘mining’ taxpayers “Thar’s gold in them thar hills! I say, GOLD!” So believe SARC and the city council. The rush is on! At the end of the rainbow is the creation of a Metropolitan Park District (MPD) and the mining for taxpayers’ gold. OR, is it two MPDs? Both competing for the same pot of gold. Or, is it two pots of gold? At any rate, we taxpayers seem to be the “claim” for both — an additional 12-cent tax per $1,000 of property values assessed. But not so fast … What they are not telling us is: There is NO CAP on that. At the whim of each MPD, tax rates can be raised — WITHOUT TAXPAYERS’ APPROVAL! That 12-cent tax can be hiked to 75 cents quickly. A $300,000 property assessment resulting in $36 per annum increase in taxes turns into $225. Now multiply that by two. $225 was bad

And she will continue to do this, because the Legislature fails to fund the policy for gradually increasing wages which they voted into law in 2005. Similarly, there is no constitutional prohibition against taxing the income of the very wealthy. By not taxing that income, the incentives encourage piling money on top of money for the already privileged and create a feedback mechanism that encourages employers to push down wages for their workers. At the same time, public services, like higher education, are starved for tax revenue and priced out of reach for middle class families. We do have the power to create laws that ensure elemental things like health care, education, retirement security, a balance of work and family. Legislators won’t act if we cower in discontent and depression. We have to express ourselves and build a new reality, if not for ourselves, then at least for our kids and their kids. That’s possible, in a democracy, after all.

an hour, which means that they are on the margins of insecurity, falling away from a good quality of life. Could we in Washington do something different and enable all citizens to have the ability to earn enough money for a good quality of life and be able to enjoy a peaceful retirement? Of course. This universal good quality of life, adding up all households in our state, would cost about $225 billion a year. Our current state personal income is $350 billion. The problem is that with money migrating to the very top, the incomes of the middle class have been stagnant. That is no way to have a mutually beneficial and good and healthy quality of life. This increasing insecurity is the product of conscious public policy decisions to act and not to act. For example, there is a law on the books for gradually increasing the wages of child care teachers.

Community should rally to retain no spray policy Twenty five years ago Clallam County commissioners recognized the human health, wildlife and natural resource benefits of ending herbicide roadside spraying. The current commissioners are being asked by the County Noxious Weeds Board and County Roads Department to use poisons again. Noxious and invasive weeds always will be brought in by traffic, wind and other means. The county can stay on top of the situation, pulling unwanted plants at proper times before they go to seed. Communities around the country and other countries do not use poisons. They employ pulling weeds and other non-toxic weed removal techniques, which is what the county should investigate and pilot project. To date, Washington allows the use of 28 herbicides. Each is known to cause several of these harms: cancer, endocrine disruption, reproductive effects, neurotoxicity, kidney/liver damage, irritations and sensitivities, birth/developmental problems, and kill birds, fish/aquatic organisms, bees and habitats, and poison groundwater. These also deplete soil nutrition (see www. beyondpesticides). If you live near a county road, walk, bike, ride a horse on or near county roads, you will be exposed to these poisons and harms. Gardens near the road will be exposed to the poisons. Pets, bees, butterflies, birds, children would all be put in harm’s way. Speak up! Attend the county commissioner public hearing at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 19, in the Clallam County Courthouse

commissioners meeting room and oppose the county re-introducing poisons. Tell them to protect the public and our environment, find safe weed control methods and retain the no spray policy. Darlene Schanfald Sequim

Community was stabbed in the back How low can the seven disingenuous city council members and their grand dragon go to corrupt one of the fundamental rights of U.S. citizenry? Pretty damn low! The city attorney on behalf of the city council and manager asked the county prosecutor to solicit the court to stop the certification of the Citizens for SARC’s proposed Metropolitan Park District petition. The intent of this disgraceful act is to foil the right of the public to put forth a legitimate question to its registered voters contraire to those of the city’s. The city council has incurred a $660,000 yearly payment for their personal palace and need major sums to balance their future budgets. (Look deep into the city’s books.) They have promised not to raise taxes; so how to conjure a way to screw the property owners without the appearance of increasing taxes? Proposing a competing “Metro Park District,” covering a third the area of the Citizens’ Metro, would allow the unscrupulous happy faces a way to cover the city’s future deficits with a 75-cent per $1,000, “you people gave it to us” tax windfall to raid; the real reason for the antagonism toward the Citizens for SARC’s Metro. This political egotistical, selfserving disregard of the populace’s right to express a political view is what I would expect in some of the Third World countries I’ve traveled!

And the debate goes on. In last week’s Gazette, there seemed to be big news in that SARC supporters got 4,400 signatures on their support petition, when they needed only 3,500. My question has been and will continue to be: How many SARC supporters (of that 4,400) are taxpaying property owners, who would be impacted by the proposed SARC levy, as opposed to nontaxpayers, who use SARC? However this proposed levy support system plays out, only the taxpaying property owners will be supporting SARC’s operation with tax money, other than use fees, to the benefit of all SARC users. A Gazette letter to the editor stated that other facilities like SARC pay about 60 percent of operational expenses, while the SARC membership pays about 80 percent. I think the city definitely needs an independent group to evaluate SARC’s overhead to determine whether SARC is being managed efficiently (to minimize costs). If this already has been done, it would be a surprise to me. I think the area taxpayers have a right to know how and how well their tax dollars are being spent (or proposed to be spent). If the Sequim area cannot afford to fund proposed education tax levies, we certainly cannot afford to fund recreation tax levies! Richard Hahn Sequim

First, let me note that I very much like SARC as a facility. I use it five times a week and have done so for 21 years. During the past two years under Executive Director Scott Deschenes there have been very significant improvements in the daily operation and programs. As for the board, not so much. They have remained intransigent except for the recent panic over their perceived fiscal Armageddon. It also should be noted that Mr. Deschenes is the first and only professional manager SARC has ever had. And I might add, the very best. The board should pay much more attention to what he has to say and stay out of his way. Now for a few questions: It has been said by board members that there are no public pools that are self-sustaining. Where are the unbiased data to back up this statement? If it is true that there are no self-sustaining public pool facilities, why is this so? Why are private pools self-sustaining? Why should 90 percent of the non-SARC user voting public pay for the 10 percent who reportedly use the facility? I submit that the SARC board is guilty of contrarian thinking when it comes to good business practices. The board majority has repeatedly claimed SARC is not a business. Ipso facto, it must be a government facility. In reality, the board has no operational practices at all. In fact, they have no strategic plan, master plan, business plan or even a “road map.” Moreover, they have deliberately chosen to ignore the obvious. Specifically, they have been losing money for years and they have done nothing to correct that trend. Also, they have kicked the can down the road regarding facility maintenance. I think their new slogan will be, “Give us the money and trust us to do what’s best for you.” Is that not an appropriate, ever-

recurring theme for a government entity? Are we voters to be fooled yet again? Bill Black Sequim (Black was a SARC board member from 2000-2007.)

enough, but $450? In either case, I DON’T THINK SO! Take a look at potential possible funding requirements. On SARC’s side: everything from paying for grandfathered memberships (about 120) to paying for their ventilation systems (if their county funding request fails — some $300,000 — and the other half later) — maybe, even part of their operational costs so they can compete with other fitness businesses in town. The tax would be a business subsidy. Further, with a “newly elected” governing board (probably all SARC members), how fast do you think those “uncapped, taxpayer unapproved rates” will go up? On the City side: Different organizations, charities and businesses are jumping on the bandwagon! Parks and recreation are for city parks — no cost for use — for the public. Funds to assist at least one of these organizations, for example the Boys & Girls Clubs, could be enormous. The city’s MPD should ONLY apply to the city-owned parks and recreation assets — free for public use. I’m all for the creation of an MPD — just one. The city’s MPD … but only under these conditions: a tax cap and voters’ approval for tax increases; one that excludes SARC; and one that benefits all the public, with no usage fees. Concerns, like SARC and the B&GC, can use up finances pretty fast. The increased revenue, gained through expanding the district, could be diverted from such park approved projects, like the construction of tennis courts and pickleball courts, to more costly projects of other concerns — those that are not free to the public. So, we lose the revenue raised for public use and funnel it to more private use. The public is hoodwinked once again! Finally, I’m absolutely shocked by all this concern about MPDs. We’ve

really got our priorities fouled up. With the MPDs, we’re looking at raising our taxes — to an amount that we can’t predict — when we could be using that same revenue in fixing our schools. What a travesty! If both MPDs are passed, and their two governing bodies raise the tax base to the maximum, we’ll wish that the school bond would have passed.

Dancing toward a cure Sisters to honor cancer survivors with Zumbathon by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Super Shot! Sequim schools superintendent Kelly Shea is all smiles after sinking a hole-in-one at the 24th-annual Sequim Boys & Girls Club Golf Tournament on May 8. Shea recorded the ace on hole No. 8 and earned a two-year lease on a new Ford Mustang from Price Ford Lincoln. The event, sponsored by 7 Cedars Casino and played at The Cedars at Dungeness golf course, raises funds for activities at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula that serve about 1,000 youths and young adults at facilities in Sequim and Port Angeles. According to Sara Maloney, Boys & Girls Clubs resource developer, it’s the first time in the tourney’s 24 years that someone scored a hole-in-one to win a vehicle. “There are a handful of these we like to sponsor (and the Boys & Girls Club is something we like to support,” Mark Ostroot, general sales manager at Price Ford Lincoln, said. “There are so many people that put that tournament together and it’s nice to see someone who’s an active member of the community (win the prize). It’s phenomenal.” Price Ford Lincoln also has a hole-in-one prize at the Golf for Grads tournament, scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Saturday, May 16, at Sunland Golf & Country Club.

Anglers hosting Kids Fishing Day this Saturday Sequim Gazette staff

For a dozens years, local anglers have been helping Sequim youths make a splash with fishing. They’re at it again on Saturday. The 13th-annual Kids Fishing Day, presented by the Puget Sound Anglers’ North Olympic Peninsula Chapter, is set for 8 a.m.-2 p.m. at the City of Sequim’s water reclamation pond and demonstration park just north of Carrie Blake Park on May 16. The anglers group, in coordination with Washington Department of Fish and Wild-

life and the City of Sequim Public Works Department, have stocked the pond with about 1,500 trout, some up to 5 pounds. The event includes a special pool for toddlers with a separate stock of trout. Youths ages 14 and younger are invited to participate. Bring your own pole and bait or borrow a rod from the club stock (bait is also supplied by the club). Learn how to clean the fish by watching club members clean and ice the catches. The pond will be stocked with another 1,000 fish in the following weeks so children may continue to fish throughout the summer, club officials say. In 2014, about 500 children participated in this event, according to chapter members. Puget Sound Anglers’ North Olympic Peninsula Chapter has about 150 members and meets the third Thursday of the month at the Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave., Sequim.

Slugs are heavily reliant on moisture and most active during damper seasons, preferring to come out at night or during wet, overcast days to eat. Each slug has both female and male reproductive organs and can produce up to 400 eggs annually. Laying eggs can happen any time of year but decreases during drier and colder weather. Eggs are 1/8 to 1/4 inch, round or oval, are either transparent or opaque and are laid in batches among moist fine soil. Hatchlings migrate to feed on roots. About 90 percent of slugs are underground at any time but will migrate to feed on favored plants. They can live from 12 months to two years and depending on moisture and available food can begin reproducing as young as three months. When the weather is warm and dry, slugs like to hide beneath things that will keep them cool and moist, avoiding dry and dusty areas entirely.

of stale beer. The concept is that fermenting liquids bait them and since slugs can’t swim, they drown. It can make for a fun conversation but not so fun to clean and maintain these traps. Hunt them down. Armed with a flashlight at night or by turning over strategically placed boards in the morning, you can hand pick them with gloves on, of course. Drown them in soapy water and dispose of them in the garbage receptacle. Do not put them in your compost pile as they are considered meat and therefore not compostable. Slugs’ natural predators are garter snakes, frogs and birds, including domestic ducks and geese.

Chemical solutions If slugs outnumber and survive their natural predators, your beer traps and hunting excursions, a chemical control may be desired. There are two types of pesticide available for slugs; both should be used as directed. Metaldehyde has been used to kill slugs by home gardeners for decades. In bait, granule and spray forms, products with metaldehyde also are toxic to unintended wildlife, birds and pets. In recent years other chemical products have become available that contain iron phosphate, which is considered non-toxic and applied the same, has proven to be just as effective as metaldehyde at killing slugs. For best performance in controlling slugs, begin treatment early in the spring before garden plants appear. Baits will be more tempting when spring conditions draw slugs out of hiding but before tender new shoots are available to consume. Bait them again in the fall, first as egg production is expected to increase with moist weather, and then again later in the fall to get the next generation missed with the first treatment. Armed with all of this slimy knowledge, the hunt for the silver streaking slug will be more successful. Happy hunting! Join us next week to learn more about, “Deer: A normal part of the environment.”

There are many options for controlling slugs. Since they predictably hide under objects, remove anything in and near your garden that will provide shelter, such as rocks, boards and compost piles, as an important first step. Weeds and tall grasses will harbor slugs so it is best to border your garden with dry, abrasive materials such as cinder, gravel, wood chips or sand. Some gardeners find it useful to set traps.

“Chuck (Swisher) wanted to keep marches alive … It was our luck to be in the right place at the right time.” David said Swisher had a vision. “He was passionate about communities and their connection to music,” he said. While small at first, the band had a few professional musicians participate, Jan said, but many who hadn’t picked up a horn for a long, long time. Now the band boasts more than 60 members stretching from Port Angeles to Quilcene. Looking back on the construction and use of the James Center, band members remain in awe of what volunteers were able to build. “That’s an amazing thing for a little town like Sequim,” Jan said. Some players with the Navy Band played at the center for the first time and were blown away that an all-volunteer group could build something like it, said band member Vicky Blakesley. Mattingley said she’s surprised some people don’t know about the center. “It’s definitely a good venue for music entertainment but because the city doesn’t have a mechanism to run it properly, they haven’t attracted more groups,” she said. “It could be much more utilized than it is.” She said there are future plans to expand the rehearsal space to increase storage so that more community groups can use it. The City Band has two seasons — the Concerts in the Park at the James Center for the Performing Arts and the Winter Concert series generally at Sequim High School’s Auditorium. Annually, the band provides college scholarships for high school students who perform with the band.

Sequim wins 2, heads to regionals Wolves play in district semis Saturday by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

A fourth seed? They’re not playing like it. Behind some gutsy pitching, solid defense and timely hitting, Sequim’s Wolves

knocked off White River and Sammamish in succession to earn a spot in the West Central District tournament Saturday in Kent. In the process, Sequim (128) has locked down a berth in regionals.

On May 16 in Silverdale, the Wolves take on a familiar foe — Olympic League champ North Kitsap (17-3) — for RHODEFER a chance to move on to the district title game later that day against the winner of the

other semifinal pitting Liberty against Fife. The losing squads play each other for the No. 3 and 4 seeds to regionals. In the district tourney opener, Sequim’s Tanner Rhodefer showed why he’s the staff ace, striking out 12 Hornets and giving up just two hits en route to a

Sub-districts set for May 16 by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

North Kitsap’s Vikings ruled their home turf, but athletes from Sequim and Olympic High weren’t far behind. In the first of four postseason weekends, several of Sequim’s Wolves put up strong marks and look primed for a long playoff run at the Olympic League championships in Poulsbo on May 9. Sequim’s boys — led by Oscar Herrera, the Male Running Event Athlete of the Meet — finished a shade behind NK in the team standings (128 to 121.5) with Olympic taking third, while Sequim’s girls placed third with 111.5 points, behind NK (126.5) and Olympic (126.5).

Sequim’s golf teams finished their seasons with wins at home on May 6. The top four boys, led again by Jack Shea’s 34, shot 155 to Klahowya’s 176. Travis Priest recorded a 39 on the front nine at The Cedars at Dungeness for the Wolves followed by Alex McCracken at 40 and Jade Arnold at 42. The Eagles kept it close though with Aaron Holiday shooting second overall with a 36 followed by Andrew Nelson’s 37 for third. Garett Belzing shot fourth for the Eagles at 48.

Wolves take fourth in league Pigtail game determines Sequim’s districts fate by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Fourth place isn’t how coach Dave Brasher and the Wolves (8-4 in the Olympic League and 9-5-2 overall) expected to finish their regular season. But the positioning isn’t necessarily a bad thing. “I feel good about going in as the No. 4 seed,” Brasher said. “We’re going in under the radar.” Sequim ended its season with a 4-1 win on May 7 at home over the Olympic Trojans.

The determining game for fifth or sixth at state is 10 a.m. Saturday, May 16, at Art Crate Stadium. “We’ll have to capitalize on possession time,” Brasher said. “We’re solid in the back. We’re going to work on attacking and we’ll just have to take advantage of all the chances we get.”

From page B-5 Last year, Sequim went 1-1 at the Olympic League seeding tournament with a 2-1 win over North Kitsap and a 1-0 loss to Kingston. They lost in the first round of the West Central Districts tournament against Sumner 3-1. On the season, Sequim defeated first-place Olympic League finishers North Kitsap 3-1 on March 25 and held close with second place Kingston but lost twice 2-0 on March 24 and 1-0 on April 21. They lost two games to Port Angeles (8-4 in league) early in the season in a nonleague game and a league game but came from behind to win 3-2 on April 24. Since then, Brasher said the boys have been “playing better and better.” Brasher said the Wolves never were outplayed but did play one or two bad halves in the early season. “All the games were close,” he said. “That’s the beauty and

Regular season finale To finish the season, the Wolves got to work early in the regular season finale with Eli Berg knocking in a penalty kick at nine minutes in. Olympic responded 20 minutes later with the Trojans’ Makaleb McInnis scoring at 29 minutes on an assist from Carlos Ovalle to even the score. Sequim’s Kyle Harrison responded less than a minute later after the Trojan’s goalie couldn’t contain a shot by Thomas Winfield and Harrison capitalized. Nine minutes into the second half, Winfield broke away on an assist from Cameron Chase to score and put Sequim up 3-1. He almost had another goal less than a minute later but just missed. At 58 minutes, Cameron Chase kicked in a sliding goal for the 4-1 finish with Liam Harris recording the assist.

300-meter hurdles events events last season, swept the events at league Saturday — edging out Kingston senior Garrett Rouser, the defending 2A state 300-meter champ in both. Herrera set personal bests in both events. Herrera joined Miguel Moroles, Jason Springer and Logan Habner in winning the 4x400 relay with a 3:27.40 mark that’s the third-fastest mark in the 2A classification, according to athletic.net. “Coach (BJ) Shade has worked them very hard,” Moore said of Sequim’s winning relay squad. “That’s the fastest 4x400 team I’ve ever had.” SHS senior Alex Barry continues to dominate in the javelin, throwing a state 2A-best 186 feet, 4 inches to win the event at league by more than 30 feet. Moore said a key rule change in the javelin this year is that coaches can review a previous attempt by an athlete, and after showing Barry his first final throw and emphasizing how to drive off one leg, the Sequim athlete tossed his best mark of the season. “He’s very capable of throwing 200 feet,” Moore said of Barry. Sequim senior Josh Cibene won the pole vault with a 13-foot effort. Brendon Despain, a Sequim junior, raced to a second-place finish in the 3,200-meter race (10:19) behind Port Angeles’ Peter Butler and took fourth in the 1,600-meter race. Sequim’s boys 4x100 relay team of Barry, Herrera, Springer and Curtis Gorr took third, less than a second off the winning pace. Sequim’s Austin Adams’ 40-foot, 10inch throw in the discus was good for third, as was Chris Whitaker’s 124-9 mark in the discus. Miguel Moroles took fourth place in the 100-, 200- and 400-meter race while Jackson Oliver cleared 5 feet 10 inches for a fourth-place finish in the high jump. On the girls’ side, Sequim junior Waverly Shreffler posted another impressive all-around effort, winning the 800-meter race in 2:25.84, taking second in the 400-meter race (1:01.19) and, along with teammates Gretchen Happe, Sadie Woods and Heidi Vereide, helped break the school record in the 4x200 relay of 1:48.26. The previous record set in 2007 of 1:48.54 by Anna LaBeaume, Chase O’Neil, Alexandra Sele and Megan Zumbuhl. “We’re predicting they’ll run faster than that,” Moore said. “We hadn’t really put that four together (this season).” Shreffler, Vereide, Woods and Megan

Breckenridge raced to a big win in the 4x400, topping the North Kitsap squad by more than 10 seconds. Moore said SHS’s 4x400 relay has a good chance of breaking the school mark this season as well. Junior Alyse Armstrong earned a pair of runner-up finishes, in the high jump (4-8) and the pole vault (8-6), while Vereide took third in the long jump (15-8.25). SHS sophomore Cheryl Armstrong was third in the shot put with a 29-foot, 9-inch effort. In the 100-hurdles event, Sequim’s Mattie Clark was third and Katelyn Rogers took fourth, and Woods raced to a third-place finish in the 200-meter sprint.

Meet honors

Joining Herrera with league meet honors were a Roughrider and two Trojans. On the boys’ side, Keshun McGee of Olympic took the meet’s Male Field Event Athlete of the Meet, after he broke the meet’s 20-year-old triple jump record (Brandon Reese, Central Kitsap), and took first in the long jump and second in the 100-meter dash. On the girls’ side, Gracie Long edged out Shreffler for the Female Running Event Athlete of the Meet for her wins in both 1,600- and 3,200-meter races. Danielle Monzon of Olympic won the Female Field Event Athlete of the Meet,

Baseball

From page B-5 3-1 win against White River. Sequim opened the scoring in the first inning when Evan Hurn hit a two-out triple and James Grubb followed with an RBI single to center. Sequim made it 2-0 in the sixth inning, with Daniel Harker scoring following a White River error. The Hornets halved the lead in the bottom of the sixth, but Sequim got an insurance run when, with two outs, Dusty Bates singled, advanced on a passed ball and scored on Rhodefer’s RBI single.

Meanwhile, Rhodefer was strong throughout. He gave up a hit and walk in the first and proceeded to retire nine in a row. Four times he struck out two White River batters before the seventh, when he struck out the side. In game two, Sequim battered Sammamish pitchers for seven runs in the first two innings, and SHS starter Nigel Christian spread out eight hits and five walks over his six innings for a 9-2 victory to clinch the quarterfinal win. Austin Hilliard had three hits and three RBIs while Harker, Hurn and Grubb had two hits each and Christian knocked in two. In the two games, Sequim played error-free baseball.

The Wolves now take on North Kitsap, who topped Sequim 11-1 in Sequim on April 20 and 10-4 in Poulsbo on Aril 23.

Wolves fall in regular season finale Sequim was on a winning streak at the end of the regular season, but North Mason was even hotter. The visiting Bulldogs scored one run in each of the last four innings for a come-from-behind, 7-5 win in Sequim on May 5 to earn a three-way tie in the league standings with the Wolves and Port Angeles. North Mason won its fourth in a row behind timely hitting and a complete game,

Besides McGee’s effort, Chloe Seferos of North Kitsap had the meet’s other record-breaking effort; her pole vault of 11 feet, 3 inches broke the meet mark of 10-6 set by Dani Weatherbee of Port Angeles in 2007.

Looking ahead

Sequim athletes compete at a subdistrict meet on Saturday, May 16, at Bremerton High School with the same field from Saturday’s league meet schools in the 1A classification. Top athletes from sub-district qualify for the West Central District meet, set for May 22-23 at North Mason High School in Belfair, with competitors from 21 other schools, from Olympic, South Puget Sound and Seamount leagues. The top six marks in each event at districts earn athletes a spot at the class 2A state meet, scheduled for May 28-30 at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma. “I think we’re going to send a lot of kids to districts and hopefully to state,” Moore said. “We’re looking at how we make it all the way to state how for (the Wolves) to be successful when they get there,” Moore said. “That’s out focus right now.”

Every one of them is improved as they went along.” Kettel said the most improved golfer is freshman Sarah Shea. “She really worked hard at it even though she didn’t start the season on varsity in her first match,” he said. “Now she’s our No. 2 or 3 golfer.”

Boys and girls golfers played at the Olympic League tournament on May 12 at The Cedars at Dungeness with the top seven golfers automatically going to state.

Numbers are really important as your child enters kindergarten. Think how you would feel if you could only count to three and the little girl down the way can count to 20. It is tough when you are a child in kindergarten who is behind most of the other children. So what can you do to make sure this doesn’t happen with your child? Begin by counting. Count everything you can think of with her. Count the candies or the pieces of cereal you give her. Count the blocks as she puts them together to make a playhouse for her doll. Count the forks as she helps set the table. Take your time when you say the numbers so that maybe she will beat you to it and say the number first. It will take very little time for her to begin copying what you are doing and she will start to count, too. When she first begins counting just like you, she may make mistakes.

Parenting Matters Cynthia Martin

She may say, “1, 2, 3, 7, 5.” That is OK. She is getting into numbers and that is what is important. When you are out for a drive, have her count the red cars that go past. Get excited when she sees what she is looking for and tell her grandma that she counted 12 red cars on the road this morning. When you give her a treat of some M&M’s, have her count five of each color before she eats them. When she wants to color, have her pick out six colors she wants to use. As you go upstairs, count all the steps even if it is far beyond her

Even words such as square, triangle, circle, point, round, flat, line and corner are all geometry words talking about shapes. Wouldn’t you like to teach your child geometry? Have a number day. Ask her to find the number four wherever she can. She may find it in the newspaper. It may be on a calendar. It may be part of her address or her phone number. You just want her to find it any where. Testing done on young children who enter kindergarten show that almost half of the children are not able to recite numbers from 1 to 20. But the half who do know their numbers really like being ahead. Help your child be a part of the half that knows more about numbers. You as a parent can make a difference at least for your child.

ability to do that many numbers herself. Before she goes to bed, read a book or two but also think about including books about numbers such as “10 Monkeys Jumping on the Bed” or “Chicka Chicka 1-2-3.” Go to the library and ask the librarian for help finding books with numbers. Even have your child guess how many blocks it would take to put one block after another until she gets to the next toy. This estimating is even getting pretty sophisticated but she won’t know that. Use math words. The more children hear math vocabulary used with everyday activities, the more they will begin to use the words correctly. Simple words such as near, far, besides, between, inside, outside, above, below, in front, behind, over, under, top, bottom, left, right, closer and farther all teach about positions. Words such as sorting, shortest to longest, biggest to smallest, how many, fewer than, more than, greater than, most, least, the same as, equal, different from, guess and estimate, first and last are all about measurements.

Then and Now: The Sequim Opera House 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.

designating it as the Sequim Opera House, the building easily blends into the city’s modern scape. However, at the time of its construction in 1906 by Austin Smith, contracted by Charles Franklin Seal, the Sequim Opera House was one of the largest structures in the city. The building included a retail space with an auditorium and stage above that was used for dances and high school basketball, according to “Dungeness: Lure of the River” by the Sequim Bicentennial History Book Committee. The Sequim Opera House held its first performance, a “grand musicale” in 1907 – the same year the initial plat of the town site was filed, according to Harriet Fish, a noted Clallam County historian in the 1970s. The premiere performance featured a “lengthy program of performances by local

Dance tickets cost 50 cents and following the event the program lists supper at the Hotel Sinclair. Although the upstairs of the Sequim Opera House is only used as storage, the scuffed stage remains to give hints of times passed. “The interior of the Opera House retains some of its historic character particularly on the upper level,” Fish wrote. In addition to the aging stage, the “stair hall features the original drop siding and leads to two sets of double-leaf doors which open into the interior hall.” Inside the hall, Fish also notes in her application the state’s Department of Community Development, the original fir flooring, tongue and groove siding and 16-foot ceilings faced in tongue and groove boards are featured. Many years have passed since the stage of the Sequim Opera House has felt the presence of a show, but 109 years later the building continues to stand as “one of the last reminders of the historic nucleus of downtown Sequim,” according to Fish.

He was released to WAG due to owners health issues. Dash will need more house training work. His owner became so ill she could no longer let the dogs out so they reverted to un-housebroken. Shouldnâ€™t be hard to get him back on track.
