Sequim schools pick Neal for interim superintendent role Board declines to offer position to two finalists by MICHAEL DASHIELL

Best ‘Small Town’ fest?

The Grand Parade is over and the carnival’s packed up, but the accolades for Sequim’s 120th Irrigation Festival continue. KING 5’s “Evening Magazine” aired a segment this week naming the festival Washington state’s “Best Small Town Celebration, thanks to online voting. Sequim’s civic celebration beat out 62 other candidates for the honor. See story, A-2.

Measure for metro district makes the August ballot

Sequim Gazette

In the end, Sequim’s next superintendent was just down the hall. On Monday evening, Sequim’s School Board of Directors agreed to promote Gary Neal from assistant superintendent to the district’s superintendent position

on an interim basis. Neal, who’s been secondin-line behind outgoing superintendent Kelly Shea, originally applied for the superintendent position but was not named among the NEAL finalists early last week. On Monday night, that hardly seemed to matter. “Quite humbling,” Neal said Monday following the announcement. “I was ready for this journey two weeks ago. It’s OK that it worked out this way.”

for

Following a weeks-long process of accepting applications, culling a semifinal “short list,” selecting three finalists — one of which dropped out two days before a final interview — and finally electing not to make an offer to either remaining candidate, the board of directors selected Neal to lead the district. Assuming Neal accepts terms and conditions for the one-year interim position, he’ll officially start the job July 1. “This is the best direction we can take to

Judgment ruled in SARC’s favor by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

The possibility for a new taxing district aimed at financially assisting the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center is a reality. It was unclear whether the measure for a metropolitan park district would appear on the Aug. 4 ballot until a recent court judgment that supported the petition submitted to the county auditor’s office. After Citizens for SARC submitted more than 4,400 voter signatures in late April, the petition used to gather the signatures became a focal point of controversy. The same day the petitions were submitted, City of Sequim Attorney

Monday, May 18, was anything but a typical school day in Sequim. Ref lecting the one-day, unpaid districtwide work stoppage organized by Sequim Education Association members, the schools were void of all students and teachers. Sequim is one of several school districts across Washington pursuing work stop-

pages in hopes of conveying a strong message to the state Legislature and to bring awareness to the lack of the Legislature’s progress following the 2012 McCleary decision. In their fight to get public education fully funded, Sequim teachers marched from Carrie Blake Park to downtown Sequim, picketed at street Sequim Middle School teachers Allison Hastings and Steve corners and pursued commu- Koehler walk from the Sequim Avenue bypass with a group of nity service such as cleaning teachers on May 18 during Sequim School District’s walkout

Ducks are on sale for the 26th Annual Duck Derby presented by the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, with the big event set for Sunday, May 31, at Port Angeles’ Lincoln Park. Racers once again have the opportunity to win a 2015 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck or a Toyota Corolla provided by Wilder Toyota. “The OMC Foundation has given almost $3 million to or on behalf of the hospital during the last 10 years,” said race co-chairman Bob Lovell. “We look forward to adding to that total, as this is one of the most successful fundraisers that we do.” Prizes worth more than $25,000 will be up for grabs this year, with proceeds benefiting the Olympic Medical Center Foundation and the Sequim Rotary Club’s charitable projects. Duck tickets may be purchased from members of the OMC Foundation, many Olympic Medical Center employees, Sequim Rotary Club members and the Forks’ Soroptimist International of the Olympic Rainforest, as well as countless volunteers that pitch in to raise money for these worthwhile projects. Ducks also will be on sale daily at both Safeway stores in Port Angeles, at Swain’s General Store, Lovell’s Chevron and 76 convenience stores, Jim’s Pharmacy, Wilder Toyota, the Peninsula Daily News and several other locations. The race will begin at 2:20 p.m. on May 31, when all “adoptive parents” will have a

Participants in the 2014 Annual Duck Derby eagerly await the “splashdown” of ducks at Lincoln Park in Port Angeles. More than 40 prizes and $25,000 are up for grabs at the annual event, a fundraiser for the Olympic Medical Center Foundation and Sequim Rotary Club’s charitable projects.

chance to win prizes. It is operated under the rules of the Washington State Gambling Commission. “The time, effort, labor and equipment that various groups put into the Duck Derby, to make this event successful year after year, shows how each of us contributes to make this area such a great place to live. So many individuals and organizations are tireless with their donations and work in this community to help make it what it is,” said Lovell, who cochairs the race along with Rick Smith. “It’s a pretty awesome sight to see more than 30,000 ducks race,” Smith added. “It’s not really about expecting to win, it’s just knowing that you’re donating to worthy causes that matters. Winning is secondary.” Each duck ticket costs $5. For $25, adopters receive an extra duck (six chances to win) in the race.

At 2 p.m., just prior to the main race, the Bub and Alice Olsen Very Important Duck (VID) Race will be held — an opportunity for businesses and individuals, including those from outside the Olympic Peninsula who do business with local companies, to purchase special VID ducks emblazoned with their logo, for $250 and $500 each. On race day, the Kids Pavilion adds to the entertainment and excitement.

How the Duck Derby works For each duck that is adopted, the purchaser receives a ticket with a printed number, which corresponds to a number on the duck. All of the numbered ducks are dumped into the Lincoln Park Pond on race day and the “owners” of the first 44 ducks to cross the finish line will win prizes. For more information, call the Olympic Medical Center Foundation at 417-7144.

CORRECTION The demolition of Sequim’s Oyster House was completed in February 2010. A story in the May 13 edition of the Sequim Gazette (“Oysters, anyone? A shellfish farm saga on the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge,” page A-9) listed an incorrect date.

Irrigation Festival named KING 5’s best ‘small town celebration’ Sequim Gazette staff

Less than two weeks after finishing its 120th event, the Sequim Irrigation Festival earned another milestone this week. KING 5’s “Evening Magazine” program aired a segment on May 19, naming the festival Washington’s “Best Small Town Celebration.” Supporters voted online March 30-April 24 to give the festival the edge over 62 other candidates across the state as part of the 2015 Best Northwest Escapes contest. “(The festival) is the best kept secret that’s not so much of a secret anymore,” festival director Deon Kapetan

said. In the segment, current and past royalty, along with Grand Pioneer Helen Bucher, talk about the history of the festival and the importance of water. This year, the Irrigation Festival was held May 1-10 and included familiar events like the Crazy Daze Breakfast, Street Fair, Logging Show, Car Cruzz and Show and the Grand Parade. An anonymous supporter nominated the festival, Kapetan said, and festival organizers promoted the contest through social media and local service groups. “Word got around pretty fast,” Kapetan said. “We’re excited that our little town got the coverage. It also reinforces what we’re doing with the

board (of directors) that what we’re doing is right.” Many of the events this year were well-received and saw record attendance, festival organizers reported at festival’s end. Kapetan said she expects the same trend for the 121st year, which organizers begin planning in June. “There are a lot of out-of-towners coming to visit, which we know because we’ve had a lot of requests for where things are held like the logging show,” she said. To see the segment, visit nw escapes.king5.com or facebook.com/ SequimIrrigationFestival. For more on the festival, see irrigationfestival.

The fish definitely were biting at the 13th annual Kid Fishing Day by the Puget Sound Anglers’ North Olympic Peninsula Chapter. Club president Bob Keck said at least 300 children participated and that nearly everyone caught at least their two-fish limit at the City of Sequim’s water reclamation pond and demonstration park. “Someone’s bobber would go up and down for 20-30 seconds before someone would get a bite,” Keck said. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the City of Sequim Public Works stocked the pond with about 1,500 trout with about 300 of those between 4-5 pounds, Keck said. Thirty

volunteers set up 100 readyto-fish rods and hooks, the hot dog stand, cleaning station and helped around the pond and toddler pond. Over the course of the summer, the club plans to plant another 1,200-1,500 fish. Children 14 and under can catch up to two fish per day. The pond can be fished on through the summer but club members suggest not fishing during the RC Aquanauts’ sailing sessions 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The purpose of the event, Keck said, is to promote fishing for children and families in the community. The Anglers meet the third Thursday of each month at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave. For more information, see psanopc.org.

How much do you know about Bell Creek? The City of Sequim Stormwater Stewardship Project and the Sequim High School Be the Change club launched the Bell Creek Discovery Tour in April to raise awareness of local Bell Creek.

the educational questions on Facebook or on the tour sheet by Memorial Day, May 25, are invited on an exclusive guided walk, picnic snacks included, across Washington Harbor at the mouth of Bell Creek to Port Williams beach and automatically will be entered into a raffle for dinner for four at Nourish Restaurant — picked for its location on Bell Creek. “The idea for this tour came from conversations with Peggy McClure, a project volunteer who was taking a class in natural resources at the time,” Stormwater Stewardship project manager Ann Soule said. The class was the Citizens Action Training School hosted by the North Olympic Salmon Coalition and was held last fall. “Peggy is incredibly creative and computer savvy, and has been very generous with her time in helping to get this off the ground,” Soule added.

By noon, Sequim teachers traveled to Port Angeles to collaborate with teachers from the Port Angeles School District also in the midst of a work stoppage.

Other one-day school district work stoppages coinciding on May 18 included North Kitsap, Wenatchee and Eastmont. Although the number of participating schools continues to grow, 57 schools are preparing to or already have held work stoppages to protest the state’s Legislature.

Ag Students’ Plant Sale a Boom Sequim High School’s agriculture program met its sales goal at its annual plant sale last week at the greenhouses, 601 N. Sequim Ave. Agriculture sciences advisor Steve Mahitka said through the school year, most of the agriculture and horticulture program’s 200 students cultivated the plants to help raise funds for the program’s supplies. He said sales have gone up every year he’s been at the school and he hopes to develop the program to double its current sales to further programming. Plants still are available at the greenhouse during school hours. “We would love for the rest of the plants to find good homes,” Mahitka said.

Trial set for car dealership arson

Clallam County offers septics class

Sequim Gazette staff

A trial has been set for June 29 in Clallam County Superior Court for a Blyn man who allegedly started a fire within the Sellin’ Style car dealership at 251 Old Blyn Highway. José Noe Torres, 57, pleaded not guilty on May 15 but remains in custody in Clallam

County Correctional Facility after Judge George Wood denied his attorney’s request for release. Torres faces a charge of second degree arson from the Clallam County Prosecutor’s Office for the May 7 fire with a maximum penalty of up to 10 years in jail and/or a $20,000 fine plus restitution

and assessments. His trial is expected to run two to three days. Court documents state Torres’ brother Ramon said José was angry with the landlord and threatened to burn down the garage he was living behind. Deputy Kenneth Oien with Clallam County Sheriff’s Of-

fice said in his court report that investigators determined the fire started on top of a stove inside a trailer in the garage. The business previously was linked to a methamphetamine ring and its owner Timothy P. Smith, 31, of Sequim, was sentenced in April to 11 years in federal prison.

SARC Metropolitan Park District special filing period

Craig Ritchie contacted the county’s prosecuting attorney’s office to express concerns about the petition. In reviewing the petition, Shoona Riggs, Clallam County auditor, noted an incorrect citation to a state-revised code, lack of numbered signature lines and a warning statement that didn’t adhere to the verbatim language of Revised Code of Washington 35.21.005. To provide Riggs the guidance necessary to process the petition, the issue was brought before Erik Rohrer, Clallam County Superior Court judge on May 15. “The petition in question is sufficient,” Rohrer said, ruling in favor of the petition. Because the warning statement is intended to prevent fraud and Riggs already had validated the necessary number of signatures, Rohrer allowed some room for deviation from the warning statement set by statute. However, he warned the “court does believe statute should be followed.” The lack of numbered lines is a “pure technicality,” Rohrer said, and the incorrect citation is “unfortunate, but has no significant impact of the petition.” “We’ll forge ahead and the people will decide in August,” Virginia O’Neil, spokesman for Citizens for SARC, said immediately following the hearing. “Logic and reason prevailed in the face of rumor and innuendo and that’s always an exciting thing.”

When: 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Tuesday-Friday, May 26-29, and Monday, June 1. Where: Election Center, basement of Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St. What: Five commissioners positions for the SARC metropolitan park district More info: Clallam County auditor’s office, at 417-2222. Note — a separate three-day filing period from May 26-28 will be held for offices with no candidate filings from the regular filing period.

“I think the spirit of the law was captured by Erik Rohrer’s judgment,” she said. SARC’s board of commissioners agreed to pursue a metropolitan park district aimed at providing financial support to the community’s recreation center and public pool late February. The decision came a result of the facility’s shrinking reserve funds and failure to pass what would have been the first levy for the SARC in 12 years during February’s special election. Any metropolitan park district has the legal ability to tax up to 75 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation, but the new tax district SARC officials seek would instate a tax of 12 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation within Sequim School District boundaries. Following SARC officials’ decision to ask voters to support a metropolitan parks district, Sequim Re a c h A la n a L i n d e r o t h a t city councilors passed a resolution alinderoth@sequimgazette.com. in late April suggesting SARC offi-

cials wait and instead work with the City of Sequim, Clallam County and a wide array of community organizations to develop a more inclusive metropolitan park district proposal for the February 2016 ballot. But, with no guaranteed shortterm financial security, SARC officials opted to continue toward a metropolitan park district during the primary election. “There is no logical reason why this (MPD) can’t be broadened down the road,” O’Neil said. However, the initial “narrow focus” of the taxing district proposed by SARC officials is cause for concern for Sequim City Manager Steve Burkett, he said – noting once something is created with a specific focus, it is more difficult to add to it later. Looking ahead, 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,” Burkett said. If voters pass the metropolitan park district proposed by SARC in August, the facility would begin receiving funding by the spring of 2017. Because the public facility has been projected to close by December 2016 unless a funding strategy is secured, SARC Executive Director Scott Deschenes said facility officials would be seek funding alternatives, such as a bridge loan once they can prove future money will be coming in.

ID check app has Sequim origin Smartphone product launches locally by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Officials with a locally rooted technology company, Intellicheck Mobilisa, Inc., launched their new smartphone application, Age ID, May 1 in Sequim at Wind Rose Cellars. Once installed, the application easily pops up on your smartphone just like any other app and allows the user to scan the barcodes found on drivers licenses. Within seconds of scanning, the software is able to indicate whether Intellicheck a license is auMobilisa, Inc. thentic and if What: Technology the person is company that provides of legal drinking age. wireless technology “We wanted and identity systems for various applications to do a small launch on the Phone: 344-3233 Olympic PenOn the web: www. insula before icmobil.com we go to bigger venues,” Bill Roof, chief executive officer and president of Intellicheck Mobilisa, Inc., said. “We’ll eventually roll it out across the country.” Although the company’s headquarters is in Port Townsend, Roof lives in Sequim and assisted in the development of the smartphone application. The prototype of Age ID has a similar look as the Intellicheck Law application invented by Roof for law enforcement purposes. Rather than conducting law enforcement database queries for license and vehicle status and state justice status, however, the application confirms the barcode data found on drivers licenses. “If the license is fake, the app will alert the user,” Roof said. “If the license is authentic, the system extracts data from the barcode and determines the license owner’s age, which is then checked against state laws governing tobacco and alcohol sales.” To operate, Intellicheck Mobilisa officials are partnered with all Depart-

sons technology can help in an ageregulated business,” Crystal Hudson, executive sales administrative support with Intellicheck Mobilisa, said. Some reasons include protection from inadvertently serving those under the legal drinking age, to reduce potential accidents, increase safety and overall promote safe drinking, she explained. “By tracking your compliance, the application allows them (venue owners) to be in better compliance with the Liquor Control Board,” Hudson said. Although the application is able to verify age and authenticate the ID, it doesn’t store personal identifiable information and is in compliance with each state’s individual regulations, Hudson said. Beyond company officials’ recent leap into the hospitality industry with Age ID, they already specialize in creating wireless technology and identity systems for various applications including retail, law enforcement and national defense. Looking ahead, Roof said the company plans to move toward the health care market as well.

Odds, ends from the editor’s desk Forgive the gross use of cultural exceptionalism, but Sequim rocks. Well, our festivals do, anyway. OK, that’s not really news to the exceptionally intelligent (and good-looking, I might add) folks who wisely chose the Sequim-Dungeness Valley to make their home. But the Sequim Irrigation Festival recently made the top of KING 5’s “2015 Best Northwest Escapes” contest. Kudos, of course, go to the countless organizers of the festival’s events, and certainly to folks who brought the honor to Sequim by voting online and knocking off 62 other candidates. If you haven’t seen the video touting our town, check out the link online (see story, page A-3). Editor’s So, naturally, it’s time for the bragging to begin. Corner Live with that, Lake Michael Dashiell Stevens’ Aquafest! Try not to weep, Whaling Days (Silverdale)! Isn’t it great, Bainbridge Island’s Grand Old Fourth?! Poor, poor Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival ... Can you cope with it, Conconully Outhouse Races? (Seriously. That was one of the entries.) Also getting some props in the contest was Salt Creek Recreation Area (Best Campsite), George Washington Inn and Estate (Best Bed and Breakfast) and Lake Crescent (aptly, Best Lake) were some of the other local spots. Not to be outdone, of course, Port Angeles — our obnoxious, uncouth “city folk” to the west — are touting their town online to rave reviews as well. Port Angeles clobbered the Colorado resort town of Glenwood Springs to advance to the fourth of five rounds in Outside magazine’s fifth-annual “Best Town Ever” online contest. In successive weeks, P.A. has toppled Santa Barbara, Calif., Bainbridge Island and Glenwood Springs. (Others in Outside magazine’s semifinals include: Middlebury, Vt.; Bar Harbor, Maine; Chattanooga, Tenn.; Boone, N.C.; Spearfish, S.D.; and Eau Claire, Wis.) Port Angeles now faces Flagstaff, Ariz., in the national contest for a shot at the semifinals. Online voting is under way now, and runs until 8:59 p.m. Saturday, May 23. Don’t get me wrong: I’m rooting for those loathsome P.A. folks to top Flagstaff. It’s just that ... Port Angeles? “Best Town Ever”? Well, if it happens, enjoy it. Sequim folks were just too busy being awesome, I guess, to enter Outside’s magazine this year. Wait until next year ... On to the obscure, the ridiculous, the midly interesting that has passed across my desk in recent days:

More love of the lavender

If you notice more visitors to town looking for the purple herb well before July’s Lavender Weekend, blame the Mother Nature Network. A recent article/photo blog entitled “How one small town became the ‘Lavender Capital of North America’” notes, “While the city of Forks receives a whopping 119 inches of annual rainfall, Sequim only clocks in at around 10-15 inches a year — about the same amount of rainfall that sunny Los Angeles receives.” The article also goes on to describe the rainshadow effect and the virtues of all things lavender.

Shea does it again

Buy this guy a lottery ticket. Sequim schools superintendent sank his first hole-in-one at the annual Boys & Girls Club Golf Tournament on May 9, winning the twoyear lease on a car. (He’s not taking it but instead getting an upgrade on a truck.) One week to the day, Shea had the best shot in a closetto-pin contest to win another car at the Golf for Grads tournament. This one, he donated to a fellow school staffer who needed the wheels. On an entirely different note, 51-year-old Spanish pro golfer Miguel Angel Jimenez hit an ace at the Open de Espana on May 15, which won him 288 beers. His reaction? He moonwalked down the fairway. Classy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ‘Fitness’ is not ‘essential service’

A solution to the SARC/ MPD issue

Once again SARC is vying for your taxes dollars to support its initiatives. When will they get it? The citizens of Clallam County are not interested in paying for those who want to exercise at taxpayers’ expense. Other fitness proponents pay their way to use available local facilities. Why should we pay for those who use SARC? Forming an MPD (Metropolitan Park District) is a bad idea if you want to control limits to what you pay in taxes. Giving an MPD the authority to tax the citizens is tantamount to giving them an open checkbook. Please don’t make that mistake! Tax dollars are intended to be used for essential services for citizens well-being including police and fire protection, education, medical facilities, judicial and governmental services. Where and when did personal exercise become a part of essential services? Personally, I like to go on fishing charters from time to time. Think I can get the taxpayers to support me in those endeavors? John Coughlin Carlsborg

Here’s a thought! Forget creating Metropolitan Park Districts (MPDs). After all, apparently, the primary reason to keep SARC in business is use of a “public” swimming pool. Or, is it to provide pickleball players with indoor courts? … as with the gym space at the Boys & Girls Club. The Sequim High School used to have a swimming pool. It was located over near where the upper three tennis courts are located now. How about this for a solution: Instead of wasting our taxpayers’ money on MPDs, where there is no cap on tax increases, which can be made without public approval, why not just include a swimming pool as an item in a school bond where the public will have more control over fiscal matters? That way, we, the taxpaying public, win out over special interests. And we wouldn’t need to extend tax boundaries for mining additional revenue to pay for city extravagance. Instead of the City and SARC “panning” for our hard-earned cash, the kids finally win with the passage of the badly needed school bond. How about the kids winning for a change, rather than special interests? Don Thomas Sequim

A fan of ‘Fiddler’ Awesome! I don’t like to use that word. Amazing! That word is much over-used and not one of my favorites either. However, I do make exceptions. This is one of them. They both describe the Sequim High School Operetta Club’s performance of “Fiddler on the Roof.” The fiddler was on the roof playing and out stepped Ben Heintz as Tevye. His monologue began and about five seconds into it I leaned toward my wife, Jolie, and whispered, “This is going to be a spectacular show.” And it was! Others in the cast: Victoria Hall, Sarah Isenberger, Niki McElhose and too many to list, set the bar for high school musicals. I must give credit to the orchestra conducted by John Lorentzen for perfect accompaniment. And the production could not have come off so wonderfully well without the talented director Robin Hall. The choreography showcased Russian-Jewish cultural dances (who can forget the bottle-on-the hat dancers?). The sets and stage crews contributed much to this story of tradition and challenges in changing times. Young Ben Heintz unquestionably could have a future in show business. He speaks, sings and physically

articulates with show “stopping” talent. He truly belongs on the stage. Thank you Operetta Club for a superbly enjoyable evening. George Will Sequim

Getting things straight on a SARC metro district Some recent letters to the editor have expressed concerns about the creation of a Metropolitan Park District (MPD) for SARC, raising the specter of one more “government bureaucracy” that cannot and should not be trusted. Many are rife with misinformation, misleading or erroneous assertions, and frequently breathless with inflammatory rhetoric. They imply (or explicitly claim) that this is just another scam to soak taxpayers, that SARC isn’t “really” going to close — it’s just crying “wolf” — and that a SARC MPD is unaffordable and unnecessary. Wow! It’s hard to know where to begin. But let’s get at least a few things straight: Claiming that, once in office, SARC MPD commissioners would “on a whim,” “quickly” increase a small initial levy to the maximum allowed by law, ignores the facts

From page A-8 about how every MPD created in this state has operated and disregards common sense political realities. Such statements are false, misleading and inflammatory. • The SARC MPD would impose a levy of 12 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation. That was specified in the petition and is explicitly stated in the ballot proposition. • If you want to make sure this holds, just elect five members to the new MPD Board of Commissioners who are committed to good governance, fiscal responsibility and common sense. Elect only those who pledge to hold to that levy amount and who respect their constituents and fellow citizens — their neighbors — enough to know they should not raise the levy without voter approval and certainly not to 75 cents per $1,000, even if state law technically allows it. Saying that the Sequim area “can’t afford” better schools and excellent public recreation facilities is false and misleading. Such statements reflect a short-sighted mentality that is counterproductive and contrary to the best interests of everyone in the community.

Sequim City Council Sequim mayor Candace Pratt is seeking re-election, having filed for her Sequim City Council position No. 7, seeking another four-year term. She’ll run against challenger James Russell. Also running for re-election is Ken Hays in position No. 6; he’s running unopposed. He served as Sequim’s mayor from 2010-2013. Brandon Janisse, who opposed incumbent Ted Miller for City of Sequim Council position No. 3 in 2013, is running for council position No. 1 against Pam LeonardRay, Dungeness Health & Wellness

• In fact, we can’t afford NOT to fund better schools and a public pool/recreation center. Why? Because these are reflections of a vital, vibrant community that takes pride in itself and is willing to invest in its own future; because great schools and facilities like SARC are primary draws for those interested in relocating to the Sequim area — doctors, teachers and others who buy homes, start new businesses, add to the tax base. Suggesting that SARC is not in imminent danger of closing — that the SARC board’s warnings are just desperate attempts at “laying guilt” and “whining” to get their way — is false, misleading and inflammatory. • The reality is that, based on budget projections, the facility will run out of operating funds sometime in 2016 despite generating 80 per cent of its revenue needs from user fees — 15 to 20 per cent more than comparable facilities nationwide. And that’s a best-case scenario. • SARC’s income and expenses are a matter of public record and you can check for yourself to see just how dire the situation is and how close we are to losing this key community asset. Ken Stringer Sequim

Clinic’s executive director and volunteer program coordinator for the City of Sequim. Incumbent Erik Erichsen did not file for re-election. Erichsen, who was elected in 2007 and re-elected in 2011, said he believes in term limits and that’s one reason he’s not running. “Two terms is enough for anybody,” Erichsen said. “Plus I have a life and I have other things I want to do.” In his tenure, Erichsen said he’s proud of his time on city council. “We brought in Steve (Burkett) as city manager and he has really turned the city around,” Erichsen said. “He’s got it acting on a better business plan. I feel comfortable in leaving. It’s maintaining itself now.” John Miller, who ran for city council in 2011, has filed for Sequim City Council position No. 7, as has Sequim resident Susan Lorenzen. Lorenzen was elected in 2007 and served from 20082011 but decided not to run again to attend to family matters. Position No. 7 incumbent Laura Dubois, former mayor of Sequim, did not file for re-election. Like Erichsen, she was elected in 2007 and re-elected in 2011. Dubois, who served as mayor and mayor pro tem for two years each, said her eight years of service was a great opportunity and she enjoyed it. “But it’s time for someone else to take a turn,” she said. “I’m glad Susan Lorenzen is running again and I’m glad there’s some competition (John Miller).” Dubois said she’s most proud of the work on the Civic Center. “We’ve done a lot to get a unified look downtown,” she said. “I think it’ll be a great place to come and

We all should be stewards of Sequim Sequim is arguably one of the most beautiful crannies within this country and I have come to realize that inhabiting such a place holds me responsible as one of its stewards. As young and potentially naïve as I may be, I see the gravity of my actions within this role. Within the last decade, Sequim has succumbed to rapid structural development in order to accommodate the desires of its growing population, this growth manifesting as Walmart, Ross, Applebee’s and fast food establishments. The incorporation of these businesses in our hometown derives from a longing for low prices and ease, but as stewards of this land we need to consider the effects of this development on our local ecosystem, ourselves included. These corporations are here now, offering lowpriced goods and employment for members of our community, and I am not asserting a boycott or protest of their presence. Yet I do believe that our quieted voices and inaction are seen as compliance, as an affirmative vote for their business ethics and significant monetary control in our local economy. If they are going to be a part of

Sequim School Board Filing for Sequim School Board’s District 1 position to challenge incumbent Heather Jeffers are three candidates: Rebecca Bratsman, Robin Henrikson and Willard Naslund. Filing for the board’s District 5 at-large position — now held by Walter Johnson — are three candidates: Charles Meyer, Will Payne and Heather Short. Johnson did not file for re-election. Jim Stoffer, president of the Citizens for Sequim Schools, and Charla Wright are running for the director District 3 seat held now by John Bridge, who declined a bid for re-election.

SARC, MPD positions There are three commissioner positions open for the Clallam County Park/Recreation District 1 (SARC). Incumbents Melinda Griffith (Position No. 3) and Jan Richardson (Position No. 5) are running unopposed. Position No. 4 incumbent Gil Goodman has filed, as has challenger Bill Jeffers. In April, a citizens group called Citizens for SARC proposed the creation of a metropolitan park district and on May 15 the petition was declared sufficient and will be placed on the Aug. 4 primary ballot. To elect five commissioners for the park district, a five-day special filing period is set for May 26-29 and June 1. But the election of park commissioners will be null and void if the metropolitan park district is not approved by voters.

our community, we must demand that they be the best they can be because they are serving a city of people committed to being the best that we can be. We are worth it and the preservation of our hometown is worth this struggle against those corporations that do not understand the value of what they are paving over. The most simple and powerful way to resist this segmentation of our community and natural landscape is to fall in love with our home in as many ways as possible. Fall in love with the way the moist air coats your lungs in cedar scents and salty breezes, the way it still smells like mud instead of pavement after a rainfall. Fall in love with being late to work because of the elk herd crossing, not because of commuter traffic. Fall in love with the Olympic Mountains scraping at the skyline, instead of tall buildings. Fall in love with spending too long at Sunny Farms because you know half the people there and get caught in conversation, and with the fact that we have an entire festival to celebrate the fact that we are irrigated. Fall in love with it all and know that we have so much to lose. We are a land-based community, a people-based community, and from our soils we sprout citizens that love their roots.

With candidate filing complete, a number of incumbents will face challengers later this year for political positions throughout Clallam County. That includes Clallam County Commissioner Jim McEntire of Sequim, who announced he’d seek re-election for his District 1 position (east end) on May 12. He’ll be faced by Mark Ozias, Sequim Food Bank executive director, who filed for the position two days later, and Bryan Frazier, a Carlsborg resident and former small business owner and community organizer. W hen he wa s sworn in as county commissioner four years ago, McEntire McENTIRE “promised that his focus would be on the economic advancement of the county” and “has an excellent record of doing all those things,” the candidate said in a press release this week. “That is what Clallam County voters can expect for the next four years.” Ozias listed three priorities in running for the commissioner position in a press release he distributed last week: growing OZIAS Clallam County’s economy, fostering an atmosphere of communication, collaboration and community-building; and en-

gaging citizens to ensure transparency and open government. Frazier helped found the 501(4) C Citizens For the Preservation of Carlsborg Community Action Group. He said he’s running for the position because “Clallam County can achieve better solutions to simple and FRAZIER complex issues when the citizens are listened to and fully involved before making decisions that affect the quality of life in the county.” County Commissioner Mike Chapman announced earlier this year that he will not seek reelection before his term expires at the end of 2016, according to the Peninsula Daily News.

In May, we recognize Older Americans Month to acknowledge older Americans and their contributions to the nation. More than 40 million people in the United States are 65 or older. By 2035, the U.S. Census Bureau projects this number will double, which makes improving the quality of life for older Americans even more important as we look to the future. It is Social Security’s priority to provide a safety net for older Americans. You can learn more about Social Security at www.socialsecurity.gov. The main reason Social Security was established 80 years ago was to help older Americans. For many older Americans, Social Security benefits are their only source of retirement income. Social Security payments continue for life and are adjusted to keep pace with inflation. The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) estimates that

keep things going forward,” board president Bev Horan said. “All the qualities are there (in Neal).” Neal steps in for Kelly Shea, who accepted a job with the East Valley (Spokane) School District and also will start that job on July 1. Neal said he plans on pushing for the school construction bond in Sequim. A $46 million proposal garnered more than 57 percent of the vote in February but fell short of the required 60 percent to earn approval. “If we stop now, we’ll lose a lot of that energy,” Neal said. O verseeing Sequim schools’ curriculum, instruction, assessment and technology programs, Neal said he was interested in the assistant superintendent position in Sequim a year ago in part because of Shea’s leadership. “Kelly and I … are from the same cloth. We’re both down to earth and want to do what’s right for each kid,” Neal said. “My inner circle (back then) told me, ‘You’ll love this guy.’ They were spot on. I appreciate the autonomy he gave for me handling teaching and learning.” Neal was principal of West Valley High School in Spokane from 2006-2014. He has a superintendent’s certificate from Washington State University, a master’s degree in administration and curriculum from Gonzaga University, continuing elementary and secondary teacher certification from Eastern Washington University and a bachelor’s degree in agricultural education from Washington State University. About 10 years ago, a job opened up for an assistant principal position with

If you aren’t familiar with the four parts of Medicare, they are: • Part A (hospital insurance): Hospi-

West Valley High School in Spokane, a school with a slightly smaller enrollment than Sequim High. Halfway through his first year, West Valley’s interim superintendent was named superintendent and West Valley High’s principal was named assistant superintendent, and as the dominos fell, Neal found himself a high school principal just five months after taking the subordinate position. He led West Valley High’s Eagles for nine years. On Monday night, Neal said the Sequim board’s decision was similar to his advancement at West Valley. “I feel like I did when I was announced principal of the high school,” he said. No stranger to the Sequim area, Neal’s father lived in Sequim for 20 years and his sister, Pat Quinet, teaches third grade at Greywolf Elementary School. Horan said the district had at least three options: 1) look at the credentials and work of candidates within the district and make a decision in executive session; 2) open up the job to internal candidates and do complete interviews with a hire coming at a later date; or 3) look outside the district, using services of the search firm McPherson & Jacobson LLC to perform a modified search for an interim superintendent. The board chose the latter option, with a unanimous 4-0 vote coming Monday following executive session; board vice president Heather Jeffers was absent.

Finalists don’t make cut In a similarly unanimous vote on May 14, Sequim School’s board of directors voted to decline offering contract to the two finalists for the district’s open superintendent position. Finalists were Dr. Sheldon Berman, superintendent of

tal insurance helps pay for inpatient care in a hospital or skilled nursing facility (following a hospital stay), some home health care and hospice care. • Part B (medical insurance): Medical insurance helps pay for doctors’ services and many other medical services and supplies that hospital insurance doesn’t cover. • Part C (Medicare Advantage plans): If you have Medicare Parts A and B, you can join a Medicare Advantage plan. Private companies offer Medicare Advantage plans approved by Medicare. These plans generally help you pay the medical costs not covered by Medicare Part A and B. • Part D (prescription drug coverage): Prescription drug coverage helps pay for medications doctors prescribe for treatment.

Eugene School District 4J in Eugene, Ore., and Dr. Joe Potts, principal at Kentlake High School in Kent. Heather Davis Schmidt, executive regional director for Missoula Public Schools in Missoula, Mont., was considered a finalist but pulled out of the running after she was offered the superintendent position with the Whitefish School District (Whitefish, Mont.). The board conducted daylong interviews with Berman on May 12 and Potts on May 13, but board members agreed by May 14 that neither should be Sequim’s next top administrator. “I don’t think either candidate seemed to be a fit that Sequim needed,” board director John Bridge said. “This was an incredibly tough choice (but) it became obvious neither was a good fit,” director Mike Howe said. Horan, the board president, said that while the board didn’t find a clear choice for superintendent, that the process wasn’t wasted effort and time. “I really see this caused some growth in our board, to know there’s some work to be done here, and it helped (newer board members) to know the process,” she said. Horan added, “This was not done quickly; this was not rushed. We had 24 applicants for this position. That says a tremendous amount about Sequim.” The school district signed a $9,000 contract with McPherson & Jacobson LLC to advertise for and cull through applications for top candidates. Board members were given all completed applications to study and rank, discussed during an executive session on May 4. Board members then developed a “short list” of five semifinalists and, along with a panel of as many as 12 observers from school and community circles, interviewed each on May 11. A school superintendent for nearly two decades, Berman has led both larger and smaller school districts. He served as superintendent

of Jefferson County Public Schools in Louisville, Ky., from 2007-2011 and for the previous 14 years, Berman served as superintendent of the Hudson Public Schools, a district of about 3,000 students outside of Boston, Mass. Berman holds a Doctor of Education and a Master of Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, a Master of Education degree from the University of Maine and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin. “My wife fell in love with this community (so) when she saw the posting for this, she said, ‘You have to apply for this,’” Berman said in a public forum in Sequim last week. “You have a lot to appreciate here.” Berman said if hired, Sequim likely would be his last job. “I think I have one more in me,” Berman said. “I’m not on the road to make a name for myself for the next district and move on.” Potts, principal at Kentlake for the past five years, previously served as an assistant principal at Kentwood High for several years and has lived in Kent for about a decade. A 28-year veteran of the education field, he holds a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Iowa. “Your school district could be spectacular if you improve your facilities,” Potts said at a public forum last week in Sequim. “It will attract people to your community.” Potts said he’s wanted to be a superintendent for the past 10 years and that he’d be an active administrator. “I’m not a guy to answer e-mails all day,” Potts said. “My strengths are working with the schools and the community. I’m in the community a lot. That’s just my nature.” Schmidt was executive regional director for Missoula Public Schools for about four years before taking the administrative job in Whitefish. She also was an adjunct professor (curriculum and instruction) at the University of Montana.

Soroptimists honor Sequim High student duo

In response to the Sequim School District’s appeal for child-sized wheelchairs to be donated, the Shipley Center recently “re-gifted” one that had been donated to it. On April 28, Shipley Center board vice president Joe Borden delivered the chair to the district’s nurse Sonja Bittner at Helen Haller Elementary School. Bittner said, “Health services has received many supportive phone calls in response to the ‘Letter to the Editor’ that appeared in the Sequim Gazette, but we still are in need of two wheelchairs, in good working condition, with sturdy, wellfitting leg supports. “ We are looking for one smaller wheelchair for Greywolf Elementary School and one adult-size wheelchair for Sequim Submitted photo High School.”

On April 10, Soroptimist InterSubmitted photo national of Sequim honored Kailee Price, left, and Cecilee Wech from Sequim High School as Girl of the Month for March and April respectively. Price, a senior at Sequim High School, has been a leader with the Associated Student Body. She said she is passionate about leadership and making her school a better place and serving others. Her sports are swimming and golf, and she hopes to make it to the state golf finals. Price said she loves spending time with her family, travel and photography. She plans to attend Gonzaga University in the fall. Wech is Sequim High School’s executive ASB president. She said she loves working out and over the years has been active in both volleyball and golf. In addition to being a member of student government, Wech is an active member in the Be The Change Club and in the International Club.

Cancer Center gets ‘Flower Power’

Deer: A normal part of the environment

The art quilt “Flower Power,” featuring work by 18 quilters, including Peggy St. George, on left, will go on display at the Olympic Medical Cancer Center soon. The Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Club donated it to the center’s director Ken Berkes and patient navigator Susan Clements on May 13. The club also donated another quilt and more than $1,300 to help pay for framing. Sequim Gazette photo by Matthew Nash Sequim Gazette staff

A collaborative effort to brighten people’s days will now fill a wall at the Olympic Medical Cancer Center’s main waiting room at 844 N. Fifth Ave. “Flower Power,” an art quilt by 18 members of the Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Club, was donated on May 13 at the club’s business meeting inside the Sequim Masonic Lodge to Ken Berkes, center director, and Susan Clements, patient navigator. Completed in 2013, the group of quilters decided to seek a place to display it publicly with club

Quilters unite to create, fund quilt for display member Peggy St. George taking on the task. “Many members’ lives have been touched by cancer, either through their own diagnosis or family members or close friends, including some of the quilt artists who contributed to this quilt,” St. George said. “Displaying it at the Cancer Center became the No. 1 priority of the group.” St. George was diagnosed with

breast cancer in 2010 and said displaying “Flower Power” in a place where people are facing difficult health issues and treatments will provide at least a moment of enjoyment and distraction. “I also believe the staff serving cancer patients and their families will be cheered by it as well,” she said. Originally, Cancer Center officials couldn’t accept the donation because there weren’t

funds available to frame the quilt for about $1,000 to meet health and fire codes. However, club members were told of the framing cost on May 13 and donated more than $1,300 within 20 minutes to the OMC Foundation for framing. They also donated a quilt made by Nancy Davis and Irene Snodgrass to pay for framing with any leftover funds helping directly with patient care. “This type of spirit personifies that kind of (community) spirit we love,” Berkes said.

Near what was once the railroad depot where Sequim Avenue intersects U.S. Highway 101 and across the tracks sat one of Sequim’s first creameries. The Sequim Creamery built in 1914 and later converted into a home still stands despite two potential demolitions, a fire and move from its original site to a location near Sequim Middle School off Hendrickson Road. “Around World War I, the farmers started cooperative creameries, one at Sequim and one at Dungeness,” according to “Dungeness: The Lure of the River,” written by the Sequim Bicentennial History Book Committee.

When deer are not so dear to the home garden there are a few control measures to consider. By using deerresistant plants, well-built fences and other barriers, it is possible to reduce the occurrences of deer eating from your gardens. A most successful anti-deer program likely will be a combination of controls and measures. Understanding the habits of deer will help to decide which controls to put into place to manage them. Deer most actively Get It feed at dusk and tend Growing to gorge themselves after rutting season by Michele (November) in prepa- Mangiantini ration for winter and over-winter pregnancies. They consume an average of seven pounds per day. They eat a required wide variety of plants from woody twigs and bark to leafy plant matter, grasses, vegetables and fruit. Deer are grazers, they munch and move along. As the amount and variety of foods available decreases, deer behavior gets bolder and they tend to take more risks going into places they wouldn’t otherwise venture. If deer start eating on home landscaping and food gardens, extra controls may need to be considered. Well-built fences are great but often expensive and not always practical. A sufficient fence needs to be strong enough to resist being knocked over for the sweet-smelling plants on the other side and tall enough to hinder a 12-foot jump. Deer will not jump unless they see a safe place to land, so if the fence is shorter than 8 feet, placing other barriers like shrubbery beyond the fence will deter them. Scare and noise tactics can be used for a short time but deer soon learn they don’t pose a threat and will ignore them. Commercial repellants also will work for a short time but often fade or wash away from rain. Another temporary measure is to use substances that affect their senses of smell and taste, like blood meal, fragrances, peppers,

Booktrope Editions. Impor t a nt po etic influences on Braude’s writing have been the voice of Carl Sandburg, the distillation of Gwendolyn PERSUN Brooks and the lyricism of William Stafford. Persun has been writing and publishing his poetry since the early 1970s. His work has appeared in

many small and university magazines including Wisconsin Review, Kansas Quarterly, Rattle, Hiram Poetry Review, Drop Forge, Bluestem, Nebo, Eclipse and many others. His poems have appeared in six chapbooks and four full-length collections. Persun speaks at writer conferences and universities across the country on a variety of writing craft topics. He will read his poems from “And Now This,” published by

MoonPath Press and from “Sentences,” published by Brooktrope Editions. He earned an master’s degree in creative writing from SUNY — Stoney Brook and studied with Pulitzer Prize-winning poets Stanley Kunitz, Louis Simpson, and W.D. Snodgrass. The Fourth Friday featured writers are followed by an hour of 5-minute open-mic readings. Those interested in reading their poetry or prose are invited to put their names in the hat.

Three-date extra performances follow soldout February shows in Sequim Sequim Gazette staff

Following soldout February performances in Sequim’s Olympic Theatre Arts, the Port Angeles Community Players host an encore presentation of “The Vagina Monologues” this weekend. Eve Ensler’s play begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday, May 22-23, and 2 p.m. Sunday, May 24, with the same cast, Alexandria Edouart, Jennifer Sies and Maggie McDougal, the same director Sharon DelaBarre and the same show. “The first thought that comes to mind when you hear the title is not humor, but this play is truly humorous!” DelaBarre said. “Yes, it does ask us to take a look,

a real look, at what it is to be a woman — the good, the bad and, yes, the ugly — but in a funny, insightful way. Granted, not all the monologues are funny. A couple do force us to look at some realities that are not pleasant but unfortunately true.” OTA and the PA Players’ partnership began after soldout shows prevented some people from attending. OTA’s full schedule wouldn’t allow for another production, but the Players’ did. “We are excited to welcome this production to our stage,” said PA Players board president Barbara Frederick. “It got great raves at OTA and it is a testament to how these women feel about this play that they were thrilled at the chance to do it again.”

The Olympic Peninsula Men’s Chorus will present two events at Olympic Theatre Arts in Sequim on Saturday, May 23. All proceeds from these shows will go to benefit OTA in its efforts to support music and the arts on the Olympic Peninsula. Also appearing on the shows are the barbershop quartet No Batteries Required, the country band Luck of the Draw and the local bluegrass band Farm Strong. “Barbershop and bluegrass may sound like strange bedfellows or stage fellows,” said Rich Wyatt, show director for the men’s chorus, “but it’s a winning combination with great harmony and tunes that people like to sing. Audiences smile from one act to the next.” The Olympic Peninsula Men’s Chorus, originally chartered in 1981, is the Juan De Fuca Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society. The chorus is open to men of all ages and abilities, with no tryouts required. “You can join a great organization helping to preserve an American tradition with a cappella barbershop harmony,” said Wyatt. There will be a matinee performance at 2 p.m. and an evening show at 6:30 p.m. at Olympic Theatre Arts Center, 414 N. Sequim Ave. Tickets are $20 general admission and $10 for youth. Tickets may be purchased at the door or at www.olympictheatrearts. org. The OTA box office is also open from 1-5 p.m. Monday-Friday.

DelaBarre thinks there is something that everyone who sees the play will take away from it, but “one thing I hope you will come away with is a feeling of sisterhood. There is freedom in knowing that one is not alone in what we all may have felt, questioned, worried about or lived through. We have all traveled down that road as we grow from young girls to older women.” She added that the play also could help men understand a bit more about women. Tickets are $10 each and available at Odyssey Bookshop, 114 W. Front St., Port Angeles, or at the door of the Port Angeles Community Playhouse, 1235 E. Lauridsen Boulevard. Pre-purchasing tickets is encouraged. The Community Players are scheduled to replace the theater’s 90-year-old seats with proceeds from this production benefiting the project.

Sequim’s Wolves are headed to the first round of the class 2A state tournament with a top-three seed, but they nearly came away with an even higher seed, if it were not for one forgettable inning. The Wolves (13-9) rebounded from a 5-2 loss to league rival North Kitsap on May 16 with a sharp, 2-0 win against Liberty later that day to take the West Central District’s No. 3 seed to regionals, the first round of the state 2A tourney. Through five innings against North Kitsap, Sequim looked poised to knock off the Olympic League champs as SHS ace Tanner Rhodefer gave up one run on just one hit and two walks, with four strikeouts. Hit battery mate, catcher Ian Dennis, twice gave Rhodefer the lead. In the top of the fourth inning, Dennis followed backto-back singles by Daniel Harker and Nigel Christian with a sacrifice fly to deep right field. After the Vikings knotted the score in the fifth, Dennis beat out an infield hit to allow pinch-runner Justin Porter to score and put Sequim up 2-1. Then, in the bottom of the sixth, the proverbial wheels fell off. A dropped ball at first base allowed NK leadoff hitter T.J. Jensen to reach base. After a sacrifice moved Jensen to second, an infield popup dropped between second base and right field, and the resulting throw to catch Jensen trying to score sailed past Dennis. An intentional walk and back-to-back-to-back base hits later it was 5-2 North Kitsap and Sequim couldn’t muster a response in the seventh. “When you get to this level and you let your focus slip a little, good teams can get to you,” Sequim coach Dave Ditlefsen said.

Sequim sends 24 to district meet NK boys edge SHS for sub-district title by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

North Kitsap ruled the day in the team standings, but another team in purple and gold is sending a big contingent to districts next weekend, too. Sequim’s track and field squad saw 24 athletes earn a total of 29 berths to the West Central District meet next weekend after strong finishes at a sub-district meet May 16 in Bremerton. “The main objective today is to advance, to put themselves in a position to advance to state,” Sequim coach Brad Moore said. “I think we did that.” Sequim’s boys, led by three individual wins and a winning 4x400 relay team, came within a halfpoint of a sub-district title but fell to North Kitsap, 121-120.5. Miguel Moroles is a sub-district champ in the 100-meter sprint with an 11.45-second mark. Oscar

Barry and Moroles joined Logan Habner and Kane Stoddard in winning the 4x400 relay to cap the meet. Their 3:27.27 finish is the fifth-best mark among 2A teams (according to athletic.net). Habner was a surprise in the discus, Moore said, as he took second place with a 116-4 effort, a personal best by more than three feet. Teammate Chris Whitaker was third at 115-2. SHS junior Brendon Despain finished second in both the 1,600- and 3,200-meter races to Peter Butler, pushing the Port Angeles senior in the longer race to within a quarter of a second. Sequim teammate Mikey Cobb was third in the 3,200. Jackson Oliver was second to Bremerton’s Christopher Rowe in the high jump.

On the girls’ side, SHS junior Waverly Shreffler came away with Sequim’s only first-place victory, but it was an impressive one.

Shreffler joined Gretchen Happe, Megan Breckenridge and Heidi Vereide to place second in the 4x200 relay, and along with Breckenridge, Vereide and Mercedes Woods helped the 4x400 relay also place second. Alyse Armstrong advanced to district in two events, taking second in the pole vault (8-6) and third in the high jump (4-8). Her sister Cheryl added a third-place finish in the shot put with a personal best of 31 feet 2.25 inches, and

also advanced with a fifth-place throw in the javelin. “That’s a nice mark for her,” Moore said of Armstrong’s shot put effort. Also earning district spots for Sequim were Woods in the 400 (fourth) and Vereide in the long jump (14-9.5), Emma Beeson in the 400 (1:06), Katelyn Rogers and Mattie Clark in the 100-meter hurdles (third and fourth), Emily van Dyken in the pole vault (8-0) and Sequim’s 4x100 relay team of Beeson, Woods, Telicia Busby and Sophie Radford, who placed fifth. North Kitsap won the girls’ subdistrict team title with 163 points, followed by Olympic (99), Sequim (89.33) and Port Angeles (80.16). The West Central District meet is set for May 22-23 at North Mason High School in Belfair.

Sequim’s Wolves sends three girls, Hannah Gauthun in singles, and Karen Chan and Cheyenne Sokkappa as doubles, to play in the 2A WCD III Girls Tennis Championships at the Kitsap Tennis Club in Bremerton on May 22-23. Gauthun takes the fifth seed into districts after going 3-2 in matches at the Olympic League championships on May

12. She won her first two matches but lost to No. 1 seed North Kitsap’s Danya Wallis, who won the tournament. In the consolation, Gauthun lost her first match but recovered to take the final seed for districts. Chan and Sokkappa went on to take the fourth seed after going 3-2 as well. The duo won their first matchup but lost their second matchup. In the consolation bracket they won their next two

The Wolves went up quickly, with MaryLu Cluft crushing a two-run double off Buc starter Breena Belgarde to cap a three-run first inning. Kingston scratched a run off SHS starter Allysen Montelius in the second but a running catch in center by Halie Wilson kept Kingston from a bigger inning.

For the third straight year, Sequim boys soccer lost its opening playoff game. The Wolves (8-4 in the Olympic League and 9-62 overall) were hoping to push into the West Central Districts tournament on Tuesday, May 12, in a pigtail game but White River came from behind to win 2-1 at Franklin Pierce Stadium. White River lost its final regular season game to take the South Puget Sound League’s fifth seed for a shot of their own into the districts tournament. They defeated second seed Franklin Pierce 1-0 on May 14 and lost 2-1 after a penalty kick shootout with Kingston on May 16 but still earned a berth to the 2A state competition, which opened this week in Sumner. Sequim had a lot of opportunities to win though, Wolves coach Dave Brasher said. “They were doing all kinds of things to make it happen,” he said. Thomas Winfield gave the Wolves the lead 28 minutes into the game after Christian Benson passed through defenders to Winfield at midfield who made some moves of his own for the goal. However, in the second half, Brasher said the boys came out a little flat. White River’s Sam Hatley scored on a header from a throw-in from Tyler Krebsbach three minutes into the second half. Ten m inute s later, Krebsbach kicked it in from the corner for another header for Christian Armstrong, giving White River the lead for good. “The first 15 minutes of the second half was their only real offensive foray into our end,” Brasher said. “After they scored, we were in their half of the field most the game and we

had a lot of opportunities to put it in.” Winfield and teammates had several shots on goal, Brasher said, but Winfield still was playing his way back into shape from an injury and some of his shots weren’t as sharp on Tuesday. The Wolves weren’t beating themselves up about the loss though, Brasher said. “It’s going to come for them,” he said. “It’s a real positive group. When it was over everyone just looked at each other. It was quite unbelievable.” Last year, Sequim lost to Sumner 3-1 in the opening round of districts and they lost to Franklin Pierce 1-0 in 2013. They didn’t qualify for districts in 2012. “It was a great year,” Brasher said. “From the players to the assistant coaches Jake Hughes and Kenny Garling, it was awesome. This team was a lot of fun.” Sequim will see six seniors on varsity graduate this year with four of those starters — Eli Berg, Will Bitner, Jerry Bryan, Adrian Espinoza, Kyle Harrison and Christian Salas. But Brasher said the future looks good. “Liam Harris had a great year as a freshman and he’s looking promising,” he said. For his standout players on the season, Brasher said Berg had a great year. “He played nearly every minute of every game and that includes practice,” he said. “The guys in the back — Patrick McCrorire, Christian Benson, Jerry Bryan and Will Bitner — all just played great. And we had great contribution from Cameron Chase who is another one who does a lot of the dirty work and goes unnoticed.” Chase led all players with 11 points, seven goals and four assists while three boys earning 9 points each — Berg (two goals, seven assists), Espinoza (three goals, six assists) and McCrorie (two goals, seven assists). Three boys had six points each — Harrison (seven goals), Harris (four goals, three assists) and Winfield (seven goals) while Bitner had six points (one goal, five assists).

Parenting Matters

On April 14, Shannon Green, Sheri Burke and Pat Quinet’s third-grade classes took a trip near the fish hatchery in Sequim to plant trees. Merrill & Ring, Green Crow and Hermann Brothers provided 300 trees, shovels, gloves and other items needed to complete this fun, environmental friendly task. Each student planted four trees and placed a green, circular paper around the top of the tiny tree with the name given by the student.

What’s so special?

SEQ

You probably read a great many articles about discipline and your child. Well, this is a different one. Now we want you to think about how your child is special. I am not talking about how cute she is or how tall he is but what does he or she do that is really special? Every child from birth on up is special in some way. It is the job of parents and maybe even grandparents to look for how a child is special. Think about the characteristics of the children you know and see if you can figure out what you believe makes him special. Is he thoughtful? Does he help his younger sister? Does he play with the dog on a regular basis? Is he a good reader? Does he help his grandmother go down the stairs? Does he have good handwriting? Why is it important? Imagine growing up and never feeling special. Even if he isn’t special in lots of ways, he will like life much more if he feels he is special in some ways. Everyone can’t become an Olympic star or famous politician or big league baseball player. Not everyone can even make the honor roll at school. But everyone can feel special. When your child does something special, tell him. Make a big deal out of it. Let him hear you telling Grandma about it. Bring it up at the dinner table. If your child does special things regularly, you don’t have to go overboard. But if he struggles most of the time, then it is important to recognize what he has done. Recognizing and talking about this child’s special characteristics is especially important. If you have a child who has problems such as learning problems or health problems, you may be the one who struggles to figure out the characteristics he has that make him special — he does have them. So look for the good in all of the important people in your life. If you are a teacher, make sure each student hears that they are doing well from time to time. If you are an employer, how frequently have you let your employees hear that you are pleased with their work? If you are a music teacher, imagine how your pupil would feel if you never said she was doing well. Even let the waitress at your favorite restaurant hear you praise her service. You will get even better service next time. Your partner, your parents, your neighbor and your child all need to hear what they have done recently that is something that really pleases you; that makes them feel special. Years ago we came upon a plate that had written on it “YOU ARE SPECIAL.” We bought the plate and used it with some regularity. One of the first recipients of the plate was our 9-year-old daughter. We saw her looking carefully both ways before she crossed the street. We told her how pleased we were that she was careful and she was given the privilege of using the special plate. Everyone needs a plate to remind us of our specialness from time to time. We all appreciate being special. Think how pleased you are when someone tells you that you are a good mother or a good father. Being special to someone is important to all of us.

Creamery

home was always a buzz of activity and fun.” With such fond childhood memories associated with the retired creamery, Baumunk leapt at the opportunity to rent the house for $30 a month shortly after she married in 1947. Although it never was torn down, Baumunk and her family were only able to live in the house for a couple of years because it was projected to be demolished. Prior to being relocated in 1997 in preparation for the construction of the Highway 101 bypass, the house continued to be used as a rental. By 2005, it was purchased by the current owner Brad Griffith. “When I bought it, I didn’t know I also had bought a piece of history,” Griffith said. Griffith became curious of the building’s past once he discovered the words “Dungeness-Sequim Cooperative Creamery” painted on an attic wall. “That is when I knew I had something older than I thought,” he said. After stripping the structure down to its barebones and in doing so uncovering hints of its previous uses, Griffith spiraled into a multi-year research quest to piece together the building’s 101 years of existence. While being intentional about preserving some of its historical character, Griffith went to work making it structurally sound again and raised the ceiling back up to the original 10-foot height. “It’s really great knowing I have a piece of history and now I’ve made it to last another 100 years,” he said. Griffith continues to seek information and history on the old creamery.

the first half of the 1900s. At the industry’s peak, about 9,000 cows were pastured within a five-mile radius of Sequim, according the “Dungeness: The Lure of the River.” By 1920 the two cooperative creameries had merged and were purchased by a private company, but within a year the company went bankrupt. In reaction, surrounding farmers sold stock among themselves and organized the Dungeness-Sequim Cooperative Creamery, which continued into the 1950s. Caroline Cays Baumunk recalls moving from Carlsborg into the former Sequim Creamery in 1933, in a letter, “My memories of our home in Sequim, Washington.” Baumunk is one of six children and the daughter of early Sequim settlers Orrin and Ollie Cays. As a 4-year-old, Orrin, who went by the nickname of “Skinny,” moved with his family in 1891 to Sequim. “Dad had lots of work to do to make it livable,” she wrote. “He lowered the ceilings in the living room, kitchen and the downstairs bedroom. The flooring of the second and third bedrooms were part of the old loading dock of the creamery.” Although Cays successfully remodeled portions of the Sequim Creamery into a home, attached to the back of the living quarters remained a long enclosed room with a cement floor. The large unique space allowed Baumunk and her siblings to play regardless of the outside conditions. “No matter what weather, we were able to Reach Alana Linderoth at alinderoth@ roller skate there or play on sacks of grain and dried peas,” Baumunk wrote. “Our sequimgazette.com.
