Sequim’s balancing act: Sustained growth vs. sustaining rural character City continues look to future, work on comprehensive plan

by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Sequim remains in a balancing act between its small-town roots and the growth of tomorrow. City planners anticipate an estimated 3,400

people moving to the city over 20 years, but many current residents want to keep things rural and familiar. So where’s the balance? That’s the central question behind the City of Sequim’s long-gestating 2015 Sequim Comprehensive Plan. Chris Hugo, Sequim director of community

development, said in the past 100 years the average growth rate in the City of Sequim was 1.5 percent but over the past 30 years, it’s been at 1.75 percent. His estimate of 3,400 people is based on a 2-percent annual increase.

A warm winter has kept snow from accumulating in the mountains statewide, including the Olympic Mountains. The “constant” 5 to 15 degrees above normal mountain temperatures have driven the onset of drought conditions, Scott Pattee, water supply specialist for Washington Snow Survey Office, told an audience of about 140 people gathered in Sequim on May 21 at a community drought forum. “This is just a total anomaly,” he said. In the 61 years of manual snow surveys coupled

Food bank assesses community’s needs Director seeks more visitor engagement by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

To define the average Sequim Food Bank visitor and create a baseline, food bank officials conducted a needs assessment for the first time in the organization’s 31-year existence. Based on the results, a local, unemployed, 50-59-year-old white female with a high school diploma and likely some college experience is the typical Sequim Food Bank visitor.

Sequim Food Bank Mission: To provide food, assistance to people and organizations in the Sequim community so that no one goes hungry. Where: 144 W. Alder St. Hours: Monday 1 p.m.-4 p.m., and Friday and Saturday 9 a.m.-noon. Phone: 683-1205 On the web: sequimfoodbank.org Within an average month, about 70,000 to 75,000 pounds of food are distributed via the food bank. Of that annual 900,000 pounds, 30 percent goes toward someone 18 years old or younger.

Throughout March the assessment compiled feedback from about a third of the monthly visitors, equating to 210 completed surveys. From the results, food bank officials were able to better understand the community they serve, identify visitors’ needs and look more closely at the root causes driving local hunger. OZIAS “I think there’s a slight, but fundamental shift in what a food bank is,” Mark Ozias, Sequim Food Bank executive director, said.

Marathon organizers: Be ready for runners, road changes June 7 Sequim Gazette staff

With a relatively small but significant portion of the Olympic Discovery Trail closed to use, organizers of the longest Sequim-Port Angeles road race have prepared some significant changes to the race course. Those changes will have an impact on local neighborhoods and roads as well. The 13th North Olympic Discovery Marathon, HalfMarathon, 10k and 5k races are set for Sunday, June 7. The running event is held primarily on the Olympic Discovery Trail, but with the closure of the trail at Railroad Bridge Park in Sequim, the marathon course was redesigned and will use six miles along Finn Hall Road. With the marathon starting at 8 a.m. and halfmarathon at 8:30 a.m. at the athletic fields in Agnew and shorter races set to start near Deer Park Road, several area roads will be temporarily closed. Race organizers urge residents and others hoping to use those roadways to be aware of those closures. • Agnew, North Barr Road 6:30-7:30 a.m.: Heavy congestion on North Barr Road and Old Olympic Highway. 7:50-8:10 a.m.: Runners on road for marathon start North Barr Road from Old Olympic Highway to Barr Road 0.2 miles south of the Olympic Discovery Trail will be closed to traffic. 8:20-8:45 a.m.: Runners on road for half-marathon start: North Barr Road from Old Olympic Highway to Barr Road 0.2 miles south of the Olympic Discovery Trail will be closed to traffic. • Finn Hall Road, Gehrke Road and Wild Currant Way 8:30-10:30 a.m.: Runners on road Finn Hall will be limited to one lane of travel; Monterra residents are asked to use Gunn Road.

• Buchanan Road and Deer Park Loop 8:30-9:15 a.m.: Heavy congestion 8:50-9:15 a.m.: Runners on road for 10K start Buchanan Road, north of Deer Park Loop, will be closed to traffic. Michelle Little, one of the race organizers, asks neighbors to consider rerouting routes to church or work and for drivers to use caution when driving near the race course. Organizers anticipate 2,000 total participants plus family members at the event. “We invite you to come out and cheer on the runners as they run through this beautiful area,” Little said. “On the day of the race, those of you who live along the course, have a business along the course or attend a church located along the course will have front row seats of this fun event. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience as well as our gratitude for your positive support. Let’s show our visitors a warm welcome and hope they spread the word.” Race participants and onlookers may notice members of Clallam County Fire District 3’s Incident Management Team (IMT) as well. District 3 officials and race organizers are partnering this year to use North Olympic Discovery Marathon events as a training opportunity for IMT team members. The fire district’s goal is to provide team members with training and practical experience before a disaster strikes. “Marathons or other events where a large amount of people gather presents a unique training opportunity and offers similar levels of complexity that the team faces when managing actual disasters,” a district spokesman said.

Shear fun at Shepherd’s Festival Sequim Gazette staff

Many shepherds, fiber arts enthusiasts and curious minds spent part of their Memorial Day at the annual Shepherd’s Festival held at the Sequim Prairie Grange. Ongoing for about 30 years, the festival has become a tradition, Cyndie Stumbaugh, festival coordinator and co-leader of the Lambchops 4-H club, said. The event is aimed at educating the public about sheep, fiber arts and their many uses. The day included sheep shearing and herding demonstrations, lamb-inspired food, a petting zoo and many vendors both selling and demonstrating how to make a variety of fiber art products. The annual event is sponsored by the Olympic Peninsula Fiber Growers Association and the North Olympic Shuttle and Spindle Guild.

Loc the New sign in Pioneer Memorial Park A new interpretive sign has been installed in Pioneer Memorial Park, 387 E. Washington St. in Sequim. The sign, which tells the history of the park and the Sequim Prairie Garden Club which maintains the park and clubhouse, was made possible through a Tourism Enhancement Grant from the City of Sequim. The newly installed interpretive sign was designed by Priscilla Hudson, Sequim Prairie Garden Club historian and Laura Singer, club president. Tom Parkwell of The Sign Store created the sign and arranged for its special display stand. Sequim pioneer John Bell originally sold the 4-acre parcel to Clallam County in 1889 to be used as Sequim’s first cemetery. Sequim Prairie Garden Club is a nonprofit 501(c)(4) corporation. Donations are accepted for the continuing efforts to maintain the park grounds and preserve the many artifacts entrusted to it. Reach the garden club at 808-3434 or sequimprairiegardenclub@hotmail.com for clubhouse rental or club information. Photo by Bernie Philbin

VOLUNTEER CORNER

Ready to Retire, but Not Ready to Quit Working

WATER SAVING TIP OF THE MONTH In the Garden – CAPTURE ROOF RUNOFF. If your irrigation water availability is restricted, consider harvesting roof runoff water. You can either capture the water in cisterns (one or more large containers or several rain barrels) or pipe the roof runoff directly to planting areas. Depending on your storage capacity the roof runoff could provide all of the extra water you’ll need for successful gardening and landscaping. However, before disconnecting downspouts, make sure any excess runoff has a safe place to go. Contact Clallam Conservation District if you need technical assistance.

Upcoming Public Hearings JUNE 22 1) Adopt Capital Improvement Program

Draft Storm & Surface Water Master Plan is Ready for Public Review

City Council Regular Meeting

June 16 - Council Chambers

Telephone: 360-683-4139

When Mark Caughey was ready to retire and move to Sequim in 2010, it didn’t mean that he was ready to quit working. Mark started volunteering with the City in 2012, and has utilized his 25 years of experience as a city planner and contract administrator to the benefit of the Sequim Public Works Department. “By accepting me as a volunteer, the City has enabled me to keep my project management skills current, and to continue learning new Public Works Volunteer Mark Caughey things about infrastructure management,” Mark said. Mark helps to track and report schedule and budget performance for the Public Works engineering and design consultant contracts, and provides similar oversight for the department’s 6-year Capital Improvement Program. He also provides technical writing assistance to departments as requested. When asked why he decided to volunteer, Mark replied “My motivation is largely self-serving. Working among this great group of colleagues provides intellectual stimulation essential to preserving what remains of my aging brain. Even more valuable is the social interaction that I enjoy each day with smart, interesting people, many of whom have shared with me their life-stories. If I’ve done anything beneficial for the City of Sequim, that investment has been returned to me several times over.” To learn more about how you can reap the rewards of volunteering for the City of Sequim, contact Volunteer Coordinator Pamela Leonard-Ray at (360) 582-2447 or pleonard-ray@sequimwa.gov or City Clerk Karen Kuznek-Reese at (360) 681-3428 or kkuznek@sequimwa.gov.

The plan will be presented at the Planning Commission meeting at 6:00 p.m. on June 2 at the Sequim Transit Center, located at 190 W. Cedar Street. The Commission and staff will receive public comments on June 16 at 6:00 p.m. or on the 24/7 message line: 360-582-5710. For more information or to review the plan, visit http://www.sequimwa.gov/index. aspx? NID=682 or the City’s Interpretive Center (500 N. Blake Ave.) Open Houses: Wednesdays 8-10am, Thursdays 12-2pm.

From page A-1 In the past two years, Hugo and city staff sought input for the Comprehensive Plan to see which direction residents wanted the city to go or remain. Their most common answers, Hugo says, were “friendly” and “small town.” “We kept hearing these same things and those are all nice things but where do you get that?” Hugo says. “Not in Costco. You may run into friends there, but it’s mostly in intimate places like their neighborhood.” His solution is three-part: encourage friendlier sidewalks and walkable streets, promote facades for new buildings and create better connections between neighborhoods. To accomplish this, Hugo says the Comprehensive Plan aims to move developers away from garages facing streets and putting in alleyways and/or parking behind homes or in a community lot. Hugo said they are trying to promote more walking in the plan, too. “We want to have connectivity that is ubiquitous everywhere,” he said. “No matter where you want to go you can get there easily.” Prior to 1980, Hugo said developers built on a grid system within the city limits and post-1980 in loops and cul de sacs. Hugo said modern traffic studies show grids are preferred and safer. “The size of the block and streets are what matters,” he said. The city’s 2013 Transportation Master Plan, which makes up a portion of the Comprehensive Plan, proposes narrowing new streets and allowing parking on both sides to slow traffic, too.

Prior to 1980, homes in Sequim were built on a grid system but post-1980, homes have been built on loops and cul de sacs, said Sequim Director of Community Development Chris Hugo. Sequim Gazette file photo by Michael Dashiell

Several realtors at the Sequim Association of Realtors meeting on May 13 countered some of Hugo’s proposals. Tom Williamson, a broker with John L. Scott, said his clients prefer a closed neighborhood like a cul de sac. “They say we know everyone in our neighborhood and we know every car,” Williamson said. “We hear that day after day.” Hugo said residents can have a better sense of community if the neighborhood all around is built up nicely. “You can’t make your community better by isolating yourself,” he said. Realtors also questioned the safety of alleyways and homes on a grid. Hugo said grids produce better traffic performance Different opinions than loops and rather than However, some business just a few exits there are mulowners and residents ques- tiple which reduces congestion the city plan’s direction. tion and increases walkability.

Future plans TBA Hugo said tentative approval of the draft of the Comprehensive Plan will run into July while the Sequim City Council holds a public comment discussion on June 22. Some of the many elements of the plan also include: a proposed high tech light industrial zone off East Washington Street, creating a senior lifestyle district near North Fifth Avenue and an economic opportunity area like a college or high tech industry on the south side of U.S. Hwy 101. Hugo said whatever regulations come forward in the future with the city, they must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Following tentative approval of the plan, Hugo plans to work up to two years on refining the city’s zoning code to match the Comprehensive Plan. Physical copies of the plan are available at the City of Sequim’s Civic Center, Shipley Center and Sequim Library. Visit sequimwa.gov for more information.

At the realtors’ meeting, retired managing broker Mike McAleer for RE/MAX asked how the city’s planning fits into the Comprehensive Plan despite the county’s Planning Policies document not being updated for 25 years. Hugo said under the 1990 Growth Management Act, more development into rural areas than urban shouldn’t be allowed. “We’re the only county in the state with a majority of

can’t give away. “(Customers) don’t want 800-foot-square houses. They want big houses,” he said. “They don’t want through streets. It’s much easier for a burglar to get in there. There is a lot of stuff they are looking to approve that sounds good but in reality you can’t sell it.” Michael McAleer, managing broker at RE/MAX Fifth Avenue, told Hugo he thinks the city’s fees for a new property, averaging about $27,000, is discouraging people from moving into the city. He said in 2015’s first quarter, 28 lots sold outside of city limits versus four in the city. “Consumers are choosing to go into the county partly because of that,” McAleer said. Hugo said within the city limits building permit applications are going up each year. However, McAleer said developers are mostly building in the city because they purchased lots cents on the dollars. When asked about unfinished subdivisions like Solana and Jennie’s Meadow, Hugo said these will not be grandfathered in under the new Comprehensive Plan and must abide by it and later zoning changes. “We can’t ignore the mechanisms though and we’ll work with the designers to achieve the best results with the plan,” he said.

growth going into the rural area,” he said. “County commissioners and staff acknowledge more growth is going into the valley. But how many more lots are out there? Hundreds and hundreds because the county isn’t going to deregulate them. Water (availability) is going to affect that in the next 10 years significantly.” Mary Ellen Winborn, Clallam County director of community development, told the Gazette the Planning Policies, which partners the county and its cities’ planning documents, expired in 1992 and is something the county needs to prioritize. She also said Hugo requested the number of areas in the Sequim area outside of the city limits that could be developed. “It’s proven to be a greater task than expected,” she said. “It’s important that all the cities and county work together. It’s just a matter of getting together. Plus the county’s Comprehensive Plan is due in summer 2016 and we’re also working on our Shoreline Management Plan.” Hugo said the city’s growth could prove detrimental for the county’s quality of life, too. “The county should be worried about 20,000-30,000 more (vehicle) trips that will go on county roads that aren’t arterials,” he said. “Those are kinds of things that are missing in this regional dialogue.”

Entrance and user fees at Olympic National Park increased on June 1, following a busy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s the park’s first fee increase since January 2006. Seven-day, per-vehicle entrance fees rose from $15 in 2014 to $20 this year, and rise to $25 in 2016. Individual fees went from $5 last year to $7 in 2015 and will be $10 in 2016. Annual passes go from $40 in 2015 to $60 next year. Camping fees also see a rise, with annual Wildeness Passes going from $35 this year to $45 in 2017. A new fee schedule for park entrance and user fees was proposed last October and public feedback and comments were invited during a two-month comment period. Several changes were made to the original proposal in response to public input. “The money from user and entrance fees provides vital funding for visitor facilities like water and wastewater systems, campgrounds, roads, trails and visitor centers,” Olympic National Park Superintendent Sarah Creachbaum said Creachbaum. At ONP in 2014, approximately $2.2 million in fee revenue provided for improved visitor facilities and services, including trail and wilderness bridge repair, new visitor center exhibits and operation of the park’s wilderness information program. This summer, visitors will find newly improved accessible parking spaces and walkways at the Hoh and Quinault visitor centers, trail repairs in the Hoh and Sol Duc valleys and south coast route and wilderness information for hikers and backpackers. Based on comparisons with area facilities and opportunities, the park also proposes increased rates for camping, overnight wilderness use and RV sewage dumping. “While we rely on fee revenue to upgrade and improve park facilities and services, there are also a number of ways for people to receive free entry to Olympic National Park,” said Creachbaum. Entrance fees apply only to people 16 years of age and older; youth and children 15 years old and younger enter the park for free. Olympic National Park also hosts nine entrance fee-free days throughout the year. More information about these options, along with the Senior, Access and Military passes that provide free entry are available at w w w.nps.gov/ olym/planyourvisit/fees. htm. A National Park Service (NPS) report issued in April of this year showed that in 2014, 3,243,873 visitors to Olympic National Park spent $263,953,300 in communities near the park. That spending supported 3,592 jobs in the local area.

June 3, 2015 • A-9 in the form of a 40-foot truck that allows them to visit more rural areas. “We learned about a void and now we’re actually going to be able to do something about it,” Ozias said. Also sparked by the needs assessment is a partnership between Ozias and Sergio Gonzalez, owner of V and S Ace Janitorial. Together, Gonzalez and Ozias are promoting an outreach meeting for Latino community members. The meeting is 5 p.m., Friday, June 6, at the Guy Cole Convention Center at Carrie Blake Park. The needs assessment reflected little ethnic diversity, and although Ozias realizes the results are partially because of the area’s demographic, he also wants to ensure the organization is conducting successful outreach. “We know we’re doing a descent job at who we’re serving, but what about those we’re not?” Ozias said.

From page A-1 Although the needs assessment indicated that one in five visitors of the Sequim Food Bank rely on it for half or more of their total food, underscoring “the basic goal” of the organization, Ozias said he’d also like to cause long lasting impacts and help eliminate hunger at its core. The price of food and daily living expenses, like transportation, rent and medical costs, were the greatest barriers limiting people’s access to food, according to the needs assessment. However, knowing food bank officials can’t change the price of food, gas or someone’s rent, but instead reflecting on what the organization can do, Ozias believes that “engagement is key.”

cation, community partnerships and public outreach as the “best chance to help people understand part of why they’re hungry.” From the needs assessment, Ozias was able to narrow down the types of things food bank visitors would most like to learn if the opportunity were offered. “There was a lot of emphasis on cooking,” he said. Thus, from the input, Ozias aims to develop an education and engagement strategy that includes classes on shopping on a budget, basic nutrition, cooking and food preservation. Simple nutrition tips, such as the difference between eating a piece of toast versus a piece of toast with peanut butter can help teach people about fending off hunger, he explained. “We want to educate people that hunger can be affected by the decisions we make,” Ozias said.

intimately connect with what they eat and expose them to new types of products, Ozias has collaborated with Nash’s Organic Produce. Once a month from June until September officials with the organic farm located along the fertile delta of the Dungeness River will bring their farmers market booth to the Sequim Food Bank. “Everyone is going to be able to pick their own fresh produce,” Ozias said. “I’m hoping we’ll see positive results.” Ozias intends the interaction with local farmers and homegrown food as a possible catalyst for change in the way some food bank visitors eat or understand nutrition. “This is a creative idea and an example of the community working together to achieve a common goal,” he said. Officials with Food Lifeline, a member of Feeding America, have provided Ozias with encouraging feedback in regard to the Pilot program program. Another form of engagement is the direct “If our pilot program goes well, it may be a connection between people and food. statewide model,” he said.

Senior Meals sets location change for this summer OlyCAP announces that effective Aug. 1, it will be partnering with Shipley Center as the new location for the Sequim Senior Meals Program. This is the first change in venue for the Sequim Senior Meals Program in over 20 years. OlyCAP director of community services Carolyn Anderson said, “We have such a great group of community partners and volunteers helping to support this program. We are thrilled with this new location and look forward to working closely with Shipley Center.”

work of organizations aimed at fighting hunger. The majority of the food the Sequim Food Bank receives is through Food Lifeline and its members, including Walmart and QFC. The organization also relies on Washington State hunger relief agency Northwest Harvest and food from Safeway, food drives and individual donations. This year Food Lifeline members have begun to supply the food bank with prepared items – something Ozias said is helpful for those that don’t have a way to cook.

Serving all

A shared effort Collectively, last year the Sequim, Port Angeles and Forks food banks provided food to one in four families in Clallam County. Frequent communication among food banks within their mutual county is something Ozias and his counterparts are working toward. To increase information sharing, food bank officials are planning to create a Clallam County food bank coalition. Although misuse of the Sequim Food Bank as a resource hasn’t been an issue given visits are limited to twice a month and the needs assessment indicates the average visitor utilizes the organization for two years or less, Ozias said, the coalition will improve the ability to track food bank use countywide. Additionally, Ozias is working with a mix of partners to develop a “healthy community coalition,” he said. The coalition may include the Dungeness Valley Health and Wellness Center, Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula, Sequim School District and the Shipley Center. By September and the 2015-2016 school year, Ozias also hopes to expand the school backpack program initiated last year by Sequim Valley Nazarene. The goal of the program is to ensure children leaving school Friday have adequate food through the weekend. Through collaboration, the program is anticipated to grow to include 100 elementary students and 20 students from Sequim’s Boys & Girls Club. “I love that the community takes care of the community,” Christina Norman, Sequim Food Bank volunteer, said. “No one should go hungry here.” Moving forward with an established baseline generated by the needs assessment, Ozias hopes to conduct assessments on a more regular basis to continue to evaluate the community’s needs and reduce local hunger.

“We don’t deny service to anybody because the reality is we don’t know why they’re here,” Ozias said. Despite being a homeowner, Sequim resident Brian Gossett utilizes the food bank when work as a landscaper slows and causes him to adjust his spending. “The food bank has helped immensely, especially during the slow work months for me,” Gossett said. “I don’t abuse the resource and I don’t come here when my kitchen is full.” Gossett is not alone in relying on the food bank’s services, regardless of his employment status. About a quarter of the visitors have either full-time or part-time jobs, according the needs assessment. Another quarter of the visitors are retirees and slightly less than half of the visitors are either unemployed and looking for work or on disability. Although more than half of those that visit the Sequim Food Bank indicated they’re eligible for governmental assistance for food, about 15 percent indicated they don’t know. To help those that aren’t sure, Ozias has scheduled personnel with Washington’s Department of Social and Health Services to visit the Sequim Food Bank from 9 a.m.-noon, Friday, Oct. 2.

with more recent and growing datasets from four fully automated weather stations (SNOTEL) scattered among the Olympic Mountains, snowpack is at its lowest, according to Pattee.

Two Sequim residents were injured in a two-car collision on U.S. Highway 101 just east of Port Angeles on May 27. According to a Washington State Patrol report, Sarah A. Enges, 30, of Sequim, attempted a left-hand turn from North Gales Street onto Highway 101 in a Hyundai Elantra sedan when her car struck a Toyota Camry driven by Richard B. Gritman, 78, of Sequim. Gritman and Patricia A. Gritman, 73, also of Sequim, both reportedly were injured and transported to Olympic Medical Center for treatment. Enges and a 2-year-old in her car were not injured, according to the state patrol. Enges was charged with failure to yield the right-of-way, driving without insurance and driving with a suspended license, according to the state patrol report.

Little snowpack to supplement the surrounding watersheds throughout the year already is taking its toll on the Dungeness River and smaller streams, and is reflected in the lack of runoff. Low river flows are cause for concern among the community, especially irrigators and those involved with fish management. “From what we’ve ever seen in the past, we’re at the bottom of historic stream flows,” Pattee said. Although other low snowpack years have been recorded, notably in 1977, 2001 and 2005, they don’t match up to today’s status. “At least we had something in other years … this year we have nothing,” Pattee said. “Seventy-five percent of surface water supplies come from mountain snowpack — without that, you can just guess what the consequences are.” Residents of Sequim and surrounding areas rely on the Olympic Mountains as a water reservoir, Jeff Marti, Washington Department of Ecology’s water resources program drought coordinator, said. Identifying areas where water users likely would incur undue hardships and were experiencing or projected to experience a water supply that is below 75 percent of normal are the criteria prior to declaring a drought. “On the Olympic Peninsula what really drove the consideration of ‘hardship’ was the fisheries considerations, but also the potential impacts on small communities, especially communities that don’t have storage available to help them get through the summer and are the more vulnerable,” Marti said. The Olympic Peninsula was among the first areas in the state labeled with drought in early March. By May, Gov. Jay Inslee declared a statewide drought.

City action

In response to the predicted dry months ahead, City of Sequim officials intend to conserve water and encourage conservation by sending out fliers to utility users with options for reducing outdoor and indoor water use. “It’s one of the obvious things we can do,” David

Drennan & Ford

Funeral Home and Crematory

Garlington, City of Sequim engineer and interim public works director, said. “Summertime is our high water use time of year because of outdoor irrigation.” Additionally, since last year, the city adopted a utility rate structure switching from a two- to three-tier system to provide economic incentive to conserve water. “If more water is used, you pay more for that next tier of water,” he said. Ways city officials are looking to increase ground water levels and/or maintain more water in the Dungeness River is through infiltration. Allowing reclaimed water from the city’s Water Reclamation Facility to filter back into the ground is one way to augment the groundwater, Garlington said. During the winter months, city officials are interested in potentially capturing stormwater to allow it to infiltrate back into the ground before it enters the salt water. Lastly, Garlington noted the city is looking into drilling a deeper well in hopes of offsetting the surface water impacts on the Dungeness River, as well as partnering with commercial agricultural interests to potentially supply them with reclaimed water. “I am just really encouraged with the way everyone is pulling together on this,” he said. Timely with the recent drought declaration, city officials released the city’s first Storm and Surface Water Master Plan last week for public review. The bottom line of Storm and Surface water Master Plan is to “treat stormwater as a resource not a problem,” Ann Soule, Sequim City water resource specialist said during a Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce luncheon May 26. “The key is to use it before it runs into the ocean,” she said. To answer water and plan related inquires, Soule hosts ongoing open houses twice weekly on Wednesdays from 8-10 a.m., and Thursdays from noon-2 p.m., at the city’s Interpretive Center, 500 N.

tions in the future is the development of a reservoir system. “There’s big support for a reservoir,” Amanda Cronin, project manager with Washington Water Trust, said. Multiple agencies, including both the city and Washington Water Trust, are collaborating to explore a possible large storage site off River Road owned by the Department of Natural Resources. “The concept is to store water from the river during peak season and allow irrigators to use that water during irrigation season instead of taking it from the river,” Cronin said. “Funding is a challenge.” The price of the reservoir alone is $32 million.

Fish and Farming The Dungeness River historically has been and continues be a lifeline to all those living nearby. To help manage this important resource officials with the Sequim-Dungeness Water Users Association, composed of the seven senior irrigation district and companies, Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe and Department of Ecology rely on an agreement established in 1998. The irrigators can’t take more than 50 percent of the river and always must leave a minimum of 60 cfs (cubic foot per second) in the river, Ben Smith, Sequim-Dungeness Water Users Association president, said. Given the state of drought and to help limit water use, officials with the Washington Water Trust are managing a voluntary dry-year leasing program with $200,000 from the Washington Department of Ecology. The state funds are administered by the Washington Water Trust are used to pay willing irrigators not to irrigate. As of late May, Cronin reported 22 bids were accepted from 13 local irrigators. As a result 800 acres won’t be irrigated during the last 30 days of the irrigation season beginning mid August. The farming community is not alone in pursuing alternatives in response to the drought, but both state and tribal officials are preparing for a hard road ahead. The low flows within the river aren’t conducive to fish passage up or downriver. Varying by species, but typically rivers, including the Dungeness are active with fish runs July through October, Teresa Scott, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife drought coordinator, said. “I’m pretty concerned with our flows and getting the fish upstream,” she said. Shallow, low flowing water

can become warmer and be a catalyst for more disease to occur in hatcheries “Fish in hatcheries is something my agency invests a lot of money in, and whether you agree with hatchery production or not, it’s still a huge investment,” Scott said. Also, since warmer water doesn’t hold as much oxygen, increased temperatures can make it difficult for fish to survive,” she said. Low flows also can limit fish passage because of both natural and manmade blockages, such as accumulated sediment or side channels without enough water to allow fish to swim. “When there’s less water area, there’s of course less area for fish to spawn in and grow-up in,” she said. State and tribal officials are prepared with a variety of methods and to help ensure fish passage. Examples of techniques include using sandbags and/or bales of straw to line the river’s banks to deepen the channel, physically removing blockages, manually catching and transporting the fish upriver, creating diversions, using a flume to get stranded fish further up river and storage of water to release to create a pulse of water, allowing fish to travel upriver. “It really worries me to think about how many of these methods we may have to do this year,” Scott said. “One thing that we’re doing is we have a special fishery in Dungeness Bay to try to catch as many pinks as we can before they head up the river so when they do try to go upriver they have some place to go.” An estimated 500 chinook salmon, 9,800 coho salmon and 1.3 million pink salmon are forecasted to return to the Dungeness River. “With record estimated returns of pink salmon in the Dungeness and a record low flow, that is not a good combination and we may see the few chinook we have trying to get up problem riffles,” Scott Chitwood, Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe natural resources department director, said. “We’re going to have monitor closely and take really major measures to make sure fish can get to their spawning grounds,” he added. Department of Ecology officials have a request into the Legislature for $9 million for drought relief, Dan Partridge, communications manager for DOE’s Water Resources Program, said. Relief funds may be used for agricultural and fisheries projects, emergency water-right permits, changes to existing water rights and grant water-right transfers.

‘Aging Can’t work due to disability? gracefully’ Maybe Social Security can help WOW! talk slated by KIRK LARSON

Social Security Western Washington Public Affairs Specialist

Britton Moss, MPT, OCS, CSCS, will present a free WOW! Working on Wellness Forum entitled “Aging Gracefully” at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 10, at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave., in Sequim. “Getting old is not for sissies!” MOSS That ’s what the T-shirts say. Everyone knows that it gets harder to stay healthy as one gets older. What is not such public knowledge is that there are ways to reduce the effects of some common musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions that people face as they age. Moss is a graduate of the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center’s Master of Physical Therapy program. He is certified by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties as a specialist in orthopedic therapy and also is certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association as a strength and conditioning specialist. Moss recently joined the team at Sequim Physical Therapy Center. WOW! Working on Wellness is a health education program of Dungeness Valley Health & Wellness Clinic.

Disability is something most people don’t like to discuss. But if you’re not able to work because you have a disabling condition that is expected to last at least one year or result in death, then it’s a subject you may not be able to avoid. You can apply for disability benefits even if you are still working. Generally, your wages would need to be below $1,090 or $1,820 for a blind individual, however, there are some exceptions. You should apply for disability benefits as soon as you become disabled. It may take you months to obtain all your medical records and for us to process an application for disability benefits. The types of information we need include medical records or documentation you have; we can make copies of your records and return your originals; the names, addresses and phone numbers for any doctors, hospitals, medical facilities, treatment centers or providers that may have information related to your disabling condition; and the names, addresses and phone numbers for recent employers and the dates worked for each employer. If you don’t have all of the information handy, that’s no reason to delay. You still should apply for benefits right away. So-

cial Security can assist you in getting the necessary documents, including obtaining your medical records. Just keep in mind that if you do have the information we need, it probably will speed up the time it takes to make a decision. The fastest and most convenient way to apply for disability is online at www. socialsecurity.gov/applyfordisability. You can save your application as you go, so you can take a break at any time. If your claim is denied, you can file your appeal online as well. More than 90,000 people use our online appeals application each month. We’ve certainly come a long way since introducing the online appeal option in September 2007. Throughout the nation, applicants, their representatives, third parties, groups and organizations use the online appeal process to request review of disability decisions. If you prefer, you may call our toll-free number, 800-772-1213, to make an appointment to apply at your local Social Security office or to set up an appointment for someone to take your application over the phone. If you are approved for disability benefits, that doesn’t mean you’ll never be able to work again. In fact, Social Security has special rules called “work incentives” that allow you to test your ability to work. Learn more about disability benefits and take advantage of the helpful Disability Starter Kit at www.socialsecurity.gov/disability/disability_starter_kits.htm.

Margaret C. Erickson October 15, 1917 ~ May 14, 2015

Margaret C. Erickson passed away at home in the care of her daughter on May 14, 2015. She was born October 15, 1917 in her grandmother’s log cabin near Bagley Creek in Port Angeles, Washington to Lee Harbough and Ruth Pritchett Harbough. Margaret lived out at Twin as a young child when her father was the Fire Warden there. When she was 5 years old they moved back to Port Angeles and Margaret remembered riding the train from Twin to Port Angeles in the caboose. The family then moved to West Creek, Colorado where her mother was treated and then lost her battle with tuberculosis This sent Magaret and her sister Hazel to Blyn, Washington to be raised by their aunt and uncle, Tom and Myrtle White. Margaret attended school in Sequim and graduated from Sequim High School in 1934 as Salutatorian. At the time of her death, she was the oldest living Sequim High School graduate, at age 97. Margaret married Ernest Erickson on January 24, 1935. They had 3 children, Rodney, David and Marilyn. The family spent some summers in Petersburg, Alaska while Ernie commercial fished, but they settled in Sequim Bay. Margaret was very close with her children, loved spending time with her grandchildren and was very active in her church in Blyn. Shew was also a wonderful gardener, an avid reader and greatly enjoyed cooking and baking. She always specially made a blackberry pie for her granddaughter’s birthdays and often sent homemade rolls, applesauce and sugar cookies home with family and visitors. Margaret always focused her attention on everyone around her and never wanted any attention on herself. She was very proud to be the Honorary Pioneer of the Sequim Irrigation Festival in 2012, but wished they didn’t have to take her picture. Margaret was a very strong woman who loved her family, her friends and her pets that always kept her company. She lived a long and happy life and will be greatly missed by so many. In her last few months, Margaret said Ernie was waiting for her and now they are together again. Margaret is survived by her children, Rodney Erickson, David (June) Erickson, and Marilyn (Marvin) Newton; her grandchildren, Michael (Ginalyn) Anderson, Sheryl Erickson, Sharlene Farrell, Brian Erickson, Colleen Erickson, Joe (Valerie) Hart, Sanda Hart, Jason (Chrystal) Erickson, Jonathan Still, Jena (Paul) West, Jake (Danielle) Still and 13 greatgrandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her name to Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County, 540 E. 8th St., Port Angeles, WA 98362/ A Celebration of Margaret’s life will be held June 6, 2015 from 1:00-3:00 P.M. at Guy Cole Center, 202 N. Blake Ave., Sequim, WA.

Born in Chicago, Raymond was a teen during the great depression. Although he grew up on the streets in an unstructured life he found time to read every book he could lay his hands on, particularly adventure stories. But except for brief excursions he never traveled outside his home city until the Army tapped him at his factory job in 1942. After ten weeks of basic training he was on the Ile de France, a troop ship that took him to the China Burma India Theatre. Three years later he was back in Chicago and the war was over. A young man of 25, he realized that the Army had given him a trip around the world, by sea and air. Wanderlust stirred. He soon quit his job as a newspaper reporter and drove to California in 1948. Four monthes later he took a “one-year job” on the Japanese Pacific island of Okinawa. That stay lasted 18 years. He married Taeko Yamashiro in 1953 at Naha, Okinawa and fathered two children. Returning to the U.S. with his family in 1966 he bought a home in Virginia and worked at the Pentagon. His wife died at the end of 1976. He retired, sold his home and moved to Sequim, Washington where he built a home on land his late wife had purchased for their retirement. He became a member of the Lions Club, Elks and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. On May 28, 1982 he married Esther Freda Larson, daughter of Nick Heuhslein, an area pioneer, and they lived together in his Sequim home until the time of his death. The did much traveling over seas and enjoyed ballroom dancing. During his life he was a Factory Worker, Laborer, Salesman, Machine Gunner, Acting First Sergeant, Newspaper Reporter, Engineering Supply Accountant, Army G4 Logistician, Supply Specialist for Counterinsurgency Supplies in Vietnam and until retirement a Performance Analyst at the Pentagon for logistics of repair parts. After retiring he wrote a weekly newspaper column for the Peninsula Daily News from 1990 to 1995. Mr. Nelson loved to interact with children and in 1985 became a tutor of reading and comprehension at Helen Haller Elementary School. Always fascinated by the power of the written word, he wrote and published two books, “I Never Met One Stranger” in which he relived his life, and “Sleeper”, a collection of selected newspaper columns. As a young man he sought adventure and found it in combat during World War II at Myitkyina, Burma and later, living on a tropical island. He made several trips to Vietnam in 1965 as a supply officer whose mission supported overt and covert American forces. Besides his wife Esther, he is survived by his son Norm of Pasco, Washington and his daughter and sonin-law Miya and Kyle Johnson of Burke , Virginia. There are four grandchildren, Alyssa and Gregory Johnson of Virginia and Jessie and Lexie Nelson of Kennewick, Washington, as well as several nieces and their families. He is also survived by Esther’s children Nick (Sandy) Larson of Port Angeles, Washington and Vickie Crane of Lynden, as well as Esther’s grandchildren, great-grandchildren and one greatgreat-grandson. During his time as a columnist he was philosophically fond of the sentiment in a 1993 piece entitled: “Life is a Novel Experience.” Among other things it said: Living ones’s life is like reading a novel with one major exception. You can’t flip to t he end to see how it comes out. You will just get as far as “today.” Only when your life is over will the novel finally end. Memorial services may be held at a later date. Memorial contributions can be given to Callam County Volunteer Hospice, 540 E. 8th St., Port Angeles, WA 98362 or a charity of your choice.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Support SARC on ballot The recent attempt by the City of Sequim to try to invalidate the Citizens for SARC petition signatures of 4,400 registered voters is unconscionable. The city used public funds and paid their city attorney to challenge the county if they moved forward and counted the signatures. Luckily, a Superior Court judge threw out their claim two weeks ago. The City of Sequim has publicly stated that if the SARC proposition is unsuccessful in August, they will present their own city-controlled MPD (Metropolitan Park District) in February 2016. I am sure that the tax rate will be much higher to ensure funding for all of the City of Sequim Parks and unmet recreational needs. Like 80 percent of the voters in the district, I live in the county and do not want the City of Sequim to have complete control over my recreation tax funds. I don’t trust the city to do the right thing and their recent behavior with Citizens for SARC just reinforced that notion. Join me in supporting SARC Prop. No. 1 with five independently elected officials that have SARC as their only priority. Norris Hart Sequim

Back SARC’s MPD Yay for Citizens for SARC! I am proud to live in a community where the voters get to say what they are willing to pay for and how much they are willing to pay. Of course, I am disappointed with the City of Sequim’s veiled attempt to stop SARC, but the only loss there is their credibility. I am hopeful that the SARC Metropolitan Park District measure succeeds in August. Losing this asset in our community would really be tragic. Betsy Riffey Sequim

This may sound like sour grapes, but ‘why now’? “Why,” after 28 years of public apathy toward running for the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center’s board, is there so much civic concern about the commissionships of a possible Metropolitan Park District replacement? Clallam County Park and Recreation District (SARC) has been a public taxing entity since 1962; if one wished to reinvent the “wheel,” wouldn’t they do some research? This may sound like sour grapes but in my four years on SARC’s board, I’ve never seen the vast majority of these Metro candidates at a board meeting or show interest in its programs, finances or history; some have never used this community service! I would hope the Metro candidates would honor the intent of the 12-cent legally unenforceable promises listed on the grassroots petition. But, to candidates who have openly backed higher city and school taxes, 75 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation converts to lots and lots of goodies at the expense of homeowners’ property taxes! It appears serving the community comes with a price — prestige of controlling millions in yearly budgets, $5 million of SARC’s assets and the allure of other expensive discretionary items allowed by the ruling statute (RCW 35.61). Do I question the candidates’ abilities? Do I question most of their agendas? Hell, yes! I would suggest the community in the following months ask “why” the civic concern now when SARC’s board went begging for their “expertise,” election after election! Jan Richardson Sequim Richardson is a member of the SARC board.

Where’s the free education? For decades, Sequim parents have been expected to buy school supplies for their children. For many, this is a hardship! Isn’t it time to remind the Legislature that education is supposed to be free? Also, buying in bulk, the Department of Education could get a significant discount. Fran Pollari Sequim

Mea culpa to BCH I am so sorry for my nasty remarks about you and your organization (Backcountry Horsemen) (“Pack it in, pack it out!” Letters to the Editor, Sequim Gazette, May 20). I spoke from deep anger over trash left behind after you held an “event” on DNR land off Pierce Road. I later realized that it was highly unlikely that anyone in your organization left all the nasty trash I found … and cleaned up with the help of a neighbor. I apologize for my overzealous remarks. I was upset … but, that is no excuse. I hope you will accept my apology. Donna Prust Sequim

State makes it easier to save for retirement When you think about retirement, you can imagine a life in which you are freed from decades of work, having to put up with a bad boss or difficult co-workers, be able to take your time waking up in the morning, and go for a walk, a bicycle ride, garden, or just talk to your neighbors and enjoy the local coffee house and tavern. But the majority of people retiring will not be experiencing a retirement of relative security, enabling them to enjoy their leisure. Most will be retiring into near-poverty. How does this happen in one of the wealthiest states in one of the wealthiest countries? It doesn’t help that wages have stagnated since the turn of the century or that companies have terminated their defined benefit pensions, which guarantee a monthly annuity to retirees. The stagnation of wages has resulted in workers not saving for retirement, when their Guest mortgage or rent, utiliO pinion ties, car payments, student debt and health costs pile up and come John Burbank first. Half a million Washington citizens between the ages of 45-64 have less than $25,000 in savings and $25,000 in savings will get you about a monthly annuity of about $160 when you retire. The end of pensions has taken away a guarantee for income throughout your old age. These pensions did not make retirees wealthy (except for the overloaded retirement products for corporate management), but they did keep retirees economically secure. The majority of retirees depend on Social Security for two-thirds of their income. The average Social Security check is $1,300 a month. Add the $160 in your savings annuity and your Social Security and you have $1,460 a month or $17,520 a year or $48 a day. Another reason that workers don’t have much in savings is that millions of them can’t save for retirement at work. In our state, 75 percent of workers who work for employers with fewer than 100 employees can’t make a simple pre-tax retirement savings deduction from their paychecks. That’s because these businesses haven’t set up a retirement plan. It isn’t really their fault. The retirement savings market is flooded with all sorts of

companies and products, each of which will claim to be better than the rest. As an employer, I have gone through the song and dance of financial services companies coming in, each with their own colorful charts. The easiest thing is to throw up your hands. After all, an employer just wants to ensure quality and production, find customers, be successful and make a profit. Hassling about the best retirement savings plan is easily pushed off the agenda. So while we may think that the Legislature is stuck in limbo, it is good to recognize that it enacted a new policy to make it easier for workers and employers to establish retirement savings plans and put money into those plans. This bipartisan legislation, SB 5826, was developed and guided by Sen. Mark Mullet, D-Issaquah, and Rep. Larry Springer, D-Kirkland. Gov. Jay Inslee signed it into law recently. What does it do? It establishes a Small Business Retirement Marketplace. In this marketplace, financial service firms can offer retirement savings products, as long as they meet certain “good business” criteria. They have to offer these products at no cost to employers and they can’t charge more than 1 percent on the savings of participating employees. The marketplace will enable both employer and employee contributions for retirement. So if you save 3 percent of your wages in the retirement marketplace, will it really make a difference? Yes, it does, especially if your employer matches your savings and you start saving early in your work life. Starting at age 25, with a wage of $12 an hour, and even with only a 2 percent increase in wages every year, and even if you get laid off one year in every 10 years, and even if you retire at age 62, you still will gain a monthly annuity from your retirement savings exceeding $1,400 a month. That is $17,500 a year. You will have doubled your Social Security payments. Even if your employer doesn’t match your contributions, you still would have over $700 a month in this annuity. That’s a lot better than nothing, better than $160 from your savings and better than hovering just above poverty.

Brunell pushes propaganda Mr. Brunell started out fine by pointing out uses for fossil feed stock beyond something to burn (“Looking at fossil fuels through a different lens,” Sequim Gazette, May 27, page A-10). He quickly moved into the propaganda mode by comparing what protesters want to the impossible situation of instantly stopping oil use. No one expects a “cold turkey” cutoff, but it is an easy way to get support for your position. Protesters have very little access to Congress compared to corporate lobbyists, so they must do something that reaches the public eye. Their goal is to reduce reliance on fossil fuel and transition to sustainable alternatives. Only then will degradation of our environment be reduced and, hopefully, leave some fossil stocks available for those medical devices that we need so badly. Without such changes, that critical fossil fuel supply may be needed for water wings. Since corporations direct what their Congressional agents decide, the goal is always maximum profits in the current quarter. The goal of the protesters is to reduce the damage our current lifestyle is doing to our planet and the

future of following generations. So far, we are moving toward that goal much more slowly than the glaciers are melting. Gerald Carpenter Sequim

Pass capital gains tax Thursday, May 28, marked the close of the special legislative session and lawmakers still have a job to do – pass a budget that fully funds state employee contracts, without gutting the social safety net. Without new revenue, it’s impossible to do both. I pay my fair share in taxes, it’s time for the wealthiest and large corporations to pay their fair share, too. We hear over and over that we can’t fund smaller class sizes, fund social services and still give classified state employees their first wage increase in seven-plus years. I disagree. If we can find a way to give billions

in tax breaks to Boeing in one day, we can find a fair revenue solution that addresses the needs of our students, social services and state employees, especially those living in poverty. We have become frustrated about the Senate leadership’s unwillingness to limit corporate tax breaks and ensure the wealthiest pay their fair share like the rest of us. Washington’s revenue system is the most unfair in U.S., favoring large corporations and the very wealthy, forcing cuts in education, senior services and other vital services needed for strong communities. It’s time for our senators to stop wasting my tax dollars by ignoring the solution in front of them. Passing a capital gains tax would hold the wealthiest accountable for paying their fair share.

Thirteen candidates have filed to help govern a possible taxing district, but only five will be chosen. The need for a newly elected board is contingent on whether a metropolitan park district expected to financially assist the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center is approved during the primary election, ending Aug. 4. Candidates range from outspoken SARC supporters to those against the creation of a metropolitan park district, but are running to try to manage it assuming it may pass. The five-day special filing period ended Monday after a Clallam County Superior Court judge ruled in mid-May the petition backing a measure for a SARC metropolitan park district was “sufficient.” Although more than enough signatures were collected, the petition caused concern because of an incorrect citation to a staterevised 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. Between late February and April SARC supporters collected more than 4,400 voter signatures, but only 15 percent of registered voters’ signatures (about 3,500) within the Sequim School District were needed to propose the measure. Falling short by 2.5 percent of the 60 percent super majority needed to instate a six-year levy of 12 cents per $1,000 assessed property valuation in February’s special election and dwindling reserve funds urged SARC’s board of commissioners to pursue a metropolitan park district in late February. If passed, the levy would have been the first taxpayer support received for SARC in the past 12 years. Unlike SARC’s status as a junior taxing district that requires a super majority to pass a levy, once created by 50 percent of the vote,

SARC metro district board: Who’s running?

COUPON

a metropolitan park district would allow for permanent levies and the ability to levy up to 75 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation without voter permission. Despite the legal ability to tax more, the measure planned for August’s ballot suggests a tax of 12 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation. The new tax would impact property owners within Sequim School District boundaries. If approved, the SARC board of commissioners is anticipated to dissolve and transfer all assets to the metropolitan park district with a newly elected five-person board of commissioners, according to Frank Pickering, SARC board of commissioners chairman. Although city officials, including Sequim City Manager Steve Burkett, have acknowledged the public facility’s importance and need to keep it open, he’s also noted the desire to wait until next February to attempt the creation of a more encompassing metropolitan park district. “There is no doubt we need a facility like this in Sequim,” Burkett told SARC commissioners during a February meeting. “I would suggest we aim higher to operate more than just a pool. We could have something that everyone could support.” By waiting, city officials feel it would allow time to create interlocal agreements with a variety of community entities. Consistent with city officials, Sequim city councilors unanimously passed a resolution in late April suggesting the development of all-encompassing metropolitan park district at a later date, but with no guaranteed short-term funding strategy, SARC officials opted to continue with their plan for a metropolitan park district focused on SARC in August. “Why not get behind this effort and then work to get other things added in the appropriate time and with the appropriate price?” Pickering told the Gazette in a previous interview. The development of a broadbased metropolitan park district suggested by city officials is only “relevant” if the current proposal fails in August, Burkett said.

More than $27K go to community health by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Members of the Sequim-Dungeness Hospital Guild tirelessly volunteered throughout the past year to award $27,589 to organizations aimed at community health. Since 1970 and the inception of the guild, income generated from the allvolunteer operated Sequim-Dungeness Hospital Guild Thrift Shop, membership dues and Cards for Cardiacs is donated annually — totaling more than $1.99 million. “We’re really close to that $2 million mark,” guild president Jean Janis, said. “We’ve done really well this year.” By next year, Adeline Curtis, SequimDungeness Hospital Guild publicity chairman, forecasts the guild achieving the multi-million dollar benchmark. “It will be quite an event for our small guild,” she said.

Although ticket sales primarily pay for the venue and catering of the guild’s annual luncheon that includes a silent auction and fashion show, the silent auction reached an “all time high,” Curtis said. Totaling slightly more than last year, it raised $3,315 during the guild’s 30th annual event May 28. “We’re delighted with that figure,” she said. Nearing the major milestone in profits gifted to the community, Janis presented the Dungeness Health and Wellness Clinic with $15,000, $7,000 to the School of Nursing Scholarship assistance program at Peninsula College and $5,539 to Olympic Medical Center. The donation to OMC will provide the obstetrics and gynecology department with three neonatal crash carts and the rehabilitation center with a balance shuttle for the physical therapy department. “A balance shuttle can help some of our patients more challenged with mobility transition from skilled therapy to a more independent model,” Ken Berkes, OMC cancer center and rehabilitation

P.A. Symphony picks New York conductor Pasternack seeks open dialogue, continuation of programming

Sequim Gazette

A new pair of hands will lead the Port Angeles Symphony beginning next season. Dr. Jonathan Pasternack of New York was hired as the symphony’s new music director and orchestra conductor on May 18 by the symphony’s 17 board members. He’ll oversee about 60 musicians from Port Ludlow to Sequim to Joyce. “It always seemed like a dream job to me,” Pasternack said in a phone interview. “I’m really excited to be joining your community. It’s such an impressive following for the symphony. I’ll do my best to hold the traditions of the orchestra and support the community.” Over the past year, the symphony brought in eight canNew York conductor Jonathan Pasternack recently signed on didates to guest conduct the as music director and orchestra conductor for the Port Angeles symphony with Pasternack the Symphony which holds concerts in Sequim and Port Angeles. first, leading a November show Submitted photo of Beethoven’s music.

Q: & A:

Pasternack said one of his passions remains teaching and he’s interested in continuing the symphony’s partnership with young musicians. “It’s always a great experience to play with musicians of all ages,” he said. “We already offer ticket discounts for young people but I’d be interested in figuring out other kinds of initiatives for younger audiences to attend. That said, when classical music is presented in an exciting way, we want it to be attractive to people of all ages.” Overall, Pasternack said another goal is to have a great time playing masterpieces with musicians. “We’re always striving to make performances of the highest quality we can,” he said, “as well as presenting these high quality performances for music lovers all over the Olympic Peninsula area.” He’d also like to pursue hosting concerts in the West End and in Jefferson County. With Pasternack coming in, Wendeborn said operations will remain the same with some minor programming changes such as Pasternack bringing in a soloist for the final concert of next season, which didn’t have one before. After moving to the area this summer, Pasternack hopes to engage community members and hear about their interests. “I plan to have an open dialogue,” he said. “Maintaining interesting and exciting programming is something I’d like to continue.” For more information on the Port Angeles Symphony’s programs and concerts, visit portangelessymphony.org or call 457-5579.

services director, told those attending the luncheon. Mary Hunchberger, executive director of college advancement at Peninsula College, also thanked the guild, noting some of its students are a “broken water pump away from not having an education.” “These donations really help,” she said. After donations were presented, those attending the sold-out event with 168 tickets sold, enjoyed a fashion show organized by Thrift Shop volunteers. Eight volunteers each modeled three different outfits. Every outfit shown varied in style and price, ranging from about $15 to $55. The fashion show highlights some of the clothes available at the guild’s Thrift Shop and hopefully encourages people to come shop, Virginia Peter, Thrift Shop volunteer and fashion show coordinator, said. “It’s always a challenge to see what we can find that goes together at the Thrift Shop,” she said. “It’s a lot of work, but fun.” Moving ahead into the guild’s 45th year in existence, Janis said, “the guild is a well-greased wheel,” and only looks forward to it continuing to be a “service to the community.”

SHS’s Shea, McMenamin take top 10 finishes Sequim girls place seventh by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Two top-10 finishes at state, two Olympic League MVPs, one girls team league title, five competitors at state plus three more at districts and Sequim’s golf squads had another exemplary year putting the right numbers on the greens this spring. Jack Shea and Alex McMenamin, both league MVPs who shot 36.9 and 39.4 on nine hole averages in the regular season, led the Wolves at the 2A golf state tournament last week. Shea, a junior, shot a 75 on 18 holes for the first day of the tournament on May 27 at Liberty Lake in Spokane. He followed it with a round of 70 for 145 to finish in a tie for 10th place and 5-over-par with Chase McIntosh of Liberty High. Boys coach Bill Shea said

They were hitless through five innings until Jordan Bentz broke the streak in the top of the fifth with a single. Kaylee Gumm recorded Sequim’s only other hit, a single, in the sixth inning. Othello’s Madison Martinez went seven innings, striking out 10 Wolves. “(Othello) is a really good team and pretty much had everyone back,” Sequim fastpitch coach Mike McFarlen said.

All about fruit thinning

Apples, pears, apricots, peaches and plums benefit from thinning. Cherry and nut trees are not thinned. Timely “thinning” of fruit in your home orchard improves the size and quality of the fruit and increases your chances of good production the following year. Thinning also reduces limb breakage and disease. The earlier you thin, the larger the remaining fruit will grow, but it is good to wait until after the natural fruit drop that occurs in June. To thin your fruit trees: 1. Remove all damaged fruit. 2. Thin (twist off) fruit when it is about the size of a marble, about 30 to 40 days after full bloom. 3. Thin to one fruit per cluster or spur leaving the largest fruit. 4. Thin apples, pears and plums when fruit is about the size of a marble. Apricots and plums should be thinned to 2-4 inches apart on a branch; peaches, 3-5 inches apart; apples and pears to 1-2 fruits per cluster spaced 6-8 inches apart on the branch.

Random Questions With Margo Hankel June marks the 18th year Blue Whole Gallery has brought local, Northwest artists together. For nearly two decades the gallery in Sequim has & housed a variety of work crafted by artists from all walks of life. The cooperative gallery has 30 artists and continues to develop, reflecting the collaboration of its members. “We all work really well together,” Margo Hankel, gallery president, said. The gallery recently has gotten more involved with schools and features monthly the work of a student artist. “It’s (student’s art) always very fresh,” Hankel said. Looking ahead to many successful years to come, Hankel would like the gallery to continue with proactive community outreach and possibly offer more classes and workshops.“I think art enriches everyone,” she said. A retired design engineer, Hankel has pursued art throughout her life, but began painting about six years ago. Drawn to the “natural” elements of painting with watercolors, she said, “If

done right and on good paper, a watercolor will last a long time.” From 5-8 p.m., Friday, June 5, Blue Whole Gallery members invite the public to celebrate their 18th anniversary and enjoy some cake. Question 42: What is your first or best memory of/in Sequim? “My first memory of Sequim was going to a swap meet on Bell Hill before there were many houses built and before the new road (U.S. Highway 101). That was also the day I decided I wanted to live on the Olympic Peninsula.”

of the popular improv troupe Tweaking Reality in the OTA Center’s Gathering Hall, 414 N. Sequim Ave. Tweaking Reality members are regulars on the Olympic Theatre Arts stage. They are Olivia Shea, Dave McInnes, Pamela Ziemann and Danny Willis. This comedic short form improvisation offers the audience a chance to interact by providing key elements for each skit. The quickwitted performers react spontaneously without rehearsal to each suggestion while the audience seeks to stump the performers by offering atypi-

cal themes. “We have so much fun playing with each other, it’s exhilarating to be put ‘on the spot’ and to create laughter,” said Willis. “Plus our troupe has been working together for a while now so we know how to get the best from one another. It’s a blast.” The theater doors will open at 5 p.m. with the performance starting at 6 p.m. There will be no charge for attendance. Refreshments, including wine, will be available for purchase. For more information, contact the box office from 1-5 p.m. MondayFriday at 683-7326.

Sequim duo takes eighth at state by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

After just three meets as a team, junior Karen Chan and senior Cheyenne Sokkappa quickly became a state level pairing. The duo took eighth at the 2015 2A Girls State Doubles championships on May 29-30 in the Nordstrom Tennis Center. “We found we had a lot of chemistry,” Chan said. “I love playing with Cheyenne.” Coach Justine Wagner said the girls’ efforts were absolutely amazing. “They made it to day two and got to play a showcase match inside,” she said. “It has been a while since this has happened.” Sequim’s last state finishers were Kyla Hall and Blaire Maloney

CHAN

SOKKAPPA

who placed sixth in 2009 in the doubles tournament. Chan and Sokkappa had a tough match-up going in, facing some of the top finishers from 2014 playing in this year’s tournament. Simone Hall and Taylor Harris of Sehome won 6-0, 6-2, before going on to place second overall. Last year, Hall took first in state with Lizzie Friesen and Harris second with Madison Harris. But Chan and Sokkappa didn’t back down though.

The Wolves took their first consolation game in three sets 6-4, 6-7, 6-3 over Lizzie George and Alexa Yadama of Pullman and they won their next match more convincingly 6-4, 6-1 over Lauren McDevitt and Callin O’Malley of Selah. Wagner said beating the Pullman team was the highlight of the tournament because they were so talented. Chan and Sokkappa faced off in the fifth/eighth place finals against Kyla Richards and Isabel Vander Stoep of W.F. West and lost 3-6, 7-6 (6), 6-2. Senior Hannah Gauthun earned the first alternate spot in the 2A girls singles tournament but a position did not open up. Previously, she was paired with Chan as a doubles team

but Gauthun and Wagner opted for her to play in the singles bracket at the Olympic League Tournament. “Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with how we did,” Chan said. She’s played on a doubles team most of her high school career but may change things up again as a senior in 2016. “Next year, I’m inching toward playing singles, which means getting more endurance,” Chan said. “We’ll see what the season brings.” On the season, Wagner said the ability to “being coachable” is important and these girls showed that. “We were changing different parts of their game until the day of state,” she said.

Pirates basketball camp set

by ANNETTE HANSON On Saturday and Sunday, May 16-17, Sequim drew quite a crowd at the Carrie Blake Park softball fields. Eight teams from around Puget Sound participated in the 2015 Senior Coed Softball Tournament. Organizers Bill Ellis and Gary Elliott said participants came from Bellevue, Port Townsend, Renton, Bainbridge Island, Mercer Island, Maple Valley and Sequim. Overall, 96 players donned team shirts to represent their cities and sponsors. The hosting teams, 7 Cedars Casino and Sequim Merchants, welcomed the visitors to Sequim early Saturday morning at the opening ceremony. The 18-piece jazz ensemble, Olympic Express Big Band, played in a light drizzle, but spirits seemed charged in anticipation for the games to begin. Topping off their tunes, Teresa Pierce sang “The Star Spangled Banner” and then cheers sent players to the fields for the first scheduled games. Over the two-day period, each team played six games for a total of 24 overall. Players on all eight teams scored a total of 494 runs. The 7 Cedars Casino team included players Nancy McPhee, Bob Travis, Vern Klimecky, Gary Poor (coach), Annette Hanson, Rod Shock, Larry Kilmer, Ron Hall, Sharon Hall, Gerry Weed, Harry Zackman, Dave Unruh and Russell Schmidt. The Sequim Merchants team had Larry Reinarz, David Pugsley, Jim Copeland (coach), Gale Powers, Val Allard, Rick Conner, Jon Wendt, Karen Clatanoff, Kevin Foster, Ron Eisele, Dave Underwood, Ron Gwaldis and Norm Forney.

Sequim High School senior Miguel Moroles was selected as the All-Peninsula Football Offensive MVP by area coaches and the Peninsula Daily News sports staff. Moroles helped the Wolves go from a winless season in 2013 to four games and a postseason berth in 2014. He was 91-ofMOROLES 132 passing for 1,083 yards and nine touchdowns, and ran for 722 yards and 11 scores on 102 carries. Moroles was voted to the Olympic League 2A first team. Teammate Bailey Early, a sophomore wide receiver, was named to the AllPeninsula Football/Offense squad.

Sequim Merchants player Dave Underwood said, “One of the real highlights of the tournament was watching 92-year-old George Goldsberry from Bellevue who not only pitched, but hit … although he did use a runner from the plate.” The number of visitors, out-of-town family and friends, reported to have watched the tournament totaled 142, of which 69 spent the night in the area — not bad for Sequim. Ellis said at the opening, “The No. 1 rule was to have fun!” He and Elliott declared, “All teams came in first place and a fun time was had by all!”

In the consolation bracket, the Wolves faced Orting and saw it go down to the wire in the 6-5 loss. The Cardinals jumped out to an early lead with an RBI sacrifice fly in the first inning and again in the third to go up 2-0. However, MaryLu Clift evened the game with a tworun home run in the top of the fourth with Allysen Montelius on base. Orting responded in the bottom of the fourth with two more runs to go back up 4-2. Clift knocked in another runner, Nicole Anders, in the top of the fifth for a fielder’s choice to close the gap 4-3. In the seventh, Gumm tied the game with an RBI single bringing in Adrienne Haggerty and Clift scored on an RBI single from McKenzie Bentz to go up 5-4. However, the Cardinals scored in the bottom of the seventh following a double and a single to tie the game and after an overthrow the runners advanced, McFarlen said.

The next batter hit a right field single for the 6-5 win. “We should’ve won but it just didn’t work out,” McFarlen said. Sequim also battled the heat, which was in the 90s. “It affects the game especially for pitchers and catchers,” McFarlen said. Right fielder Tia Bourm said their hitting just felt off. “We practiced so much for fast pitchers but they were pitching slower to us,” she said. “We were too excited. We couldn’t pick up the speed of

the ball.” McKenzie Behkne picked up the win for the Cardinals and struck out 12 Wolves. For their two games, Bourm and Clift won sportsmanship awards. Port Angeles also went 0-2 at the tournament with a 15-3 loss to first-place finishers W.F. West and 8-5 to Anacortes.

Big five Sequim (9-3 in Olympic League, 15-9 overall) was one of 16 teams to qualify

for state. “We surprised a lot of people just by getting there,” McFarlen said. “The girls really came together. There’s not a lot of teams that make it back five years in a row. That’s a pretty big accomplishment.” Bourm was one of four seniors on the squad with Clift, Olivia Kirsch and Shelby Lott who served as team manager after an injury. “As a team we’re pretty proud to go to state,” she said. “It was really emotional. We knew it was our last time.” One moment that stood out for her was when fellow outfielders Montelius and Chloie Sparks made a cheer for her during their traditional outfield talk each inning. On the season, McFarlen said Kirsch stepped up a lot pitching and playing third base, and McKenzie Bentz was the Wolves’ workhorse pitching and catching. Next year, Sequim coaches will consider another pitching platoon anchored with Bentz and Montelius, he said. “I fully expect to go to state again next year,” McFarlen said.

Track

From page B-1 six medals for top-eight finishes, and came close to bringing home even more. SHS junior Waverly Shreffler raced to a fourth-place finish in the 800-meter race on Friday, then helped Sequim’s 4x400 relay team — along with Gretchen Happe, Heidi Vereide and Mercedes Woods — take fifth a day later with a 4:10.04 mark. “We had an amazing prelim race (on Thursday),” Shreffler said, noting the team’s 4:06.96 effort. “In general, it’s hard to PR in the finals because everybody’s tired. We were tired (but) to have placed fifth overall good way to end the season. We really had to prove ourselves.” Shreffler took third in the preliminaries in the 800 and had a lead in the finals before relenting for fourth in 2:20.84, 2.7 seconds behind freshman phenom Heather Hanson of Anacortes. “This was really a learning year for her, going from a 400 runner to an 800 runner,” Moore said. “It’s simply a matter of getting more mileage in her. Once she gets more of a base under her she’s going to be dangerous.” “I never would have expected to make it where I did,” Sheffler said. “I ended up really liking the race, the strategy (of the 800) versus the pure speed (of the 400-meter race). I was extremely happy

Jack Shea matched his personal goals to make the second day cut and finish in the top 10. From page B-1 “Jack’s strong play actually started on the sixth hole of day one,” Bill Shea said. “He was 5-over-par through five holes, then played the rest of the day at even par. The second day he finished up the day at even, so he actually played his last 31 holes even-par.” Bill Shea said Jack Shea was striking the ball the best he’s ever seen on the second day. “He had about four or five 10-foot birdies that he missed, but was on pace to shoot in the mid 60s,” Bill Shea said. “If he keeps working hard, I believe he has a good opportunity to win state next year.” Aaron Whalen of Ephrata finished in first place, shooting a 66 and 67 for 133 and 7-under-par. Travis Priest made state for the second year for Sequim, too. He shot an 85 on day one and missed the cut for day two by five strokes. Bill Shea said Priest set his goals on the season to make state and the second day cut. “Other than two bad breaks that resulted in a triple and double bogey, he was on pace to reach that goal,” he said. “(Priest) had a great season and all-league honors, so it was a nice way to end his high school golf career.”

Prior to the javelin event Friday morning, coaches realized that they’d left the javelin Barry uses in another van. Coaches returned with the instrument in plenty of time to help Barry launch a throw of 185 feet, 1 inch to lock down the title. “I just wanted to have fun, get my goal, do my best,” Barry said following his winning throw.

Schade) work him out a little bit, and he said, ‘He’s good to go.’” Sequim came in with the fourth-best time for the final but wound up knocking off favorites West ValleySpokane, Sedro-Woolley and Lynden by a healthy margin. “Nobody had us on their radar ready to win this thing,” Moore said. “One the of the most exciting moments I’ve ver seen in a race.” Teammate Jackson OliSequim’s Alex Barry throws a state-best 185 feet, 1 inch, ver nearly came away with at Friday’s 2A state track and field meet in Tacoma.

Last year, she placed third and this year tied for ninth place with Stormie Follon of Franklin Pierce shooting an 81 and 84 for 165 at MeadowWood Golf Course’s 18 holes, par-72 course. “Alex had a great year,” girls coach Gary Kettel said. “She played well (at state but not to her potential.

It keeps her striving to be better.” Senior Kailee Price shot a personal best on day one (88) for the Wolves and a 99 on day two to finish at 187 for 30th place. “With the pressure and surroundings, she had her best round ever,” Kettel said. “I think everything just came together. It was perfect weather with no wind.” Also a senior, Brianna Kettel shot a 102 in round one to finish six shots from making the day two cut. “She played all four years and was ecstatic to be there,” Gary Kettel said. “She had her best personal match to qualify for state at districts at Gold Mountain (on May 19 in Bremerton).” As a team, Sequim’s girls finished seventh with 42.5 points. “I’m proud of the girls,” Gary Kettel said. “They played hard all year.” Along with MVP, Brianna Kettel and freshman Sarah Shea were named all-league.

Emily Ellefson’s second-grade class is learning how to expand their researching skills and use facts in their narrative stories. The assigned topic was “The Desert.” Here are a few examples of their work:

The Sand Storm in the Desert by Jack Wolfley A few summers ago in the desert there was a hot, hot sun. Marcus and I were walking in the desert. We saw a bird. It was an elf owl. We followed it to a cactus. The cactus was its home with its eggs. Then Marcus WOLFLEY and I shared water with the elf owl. We saw a little sand blowing and then a lot of it! It’s a sand storm! We hid in the ground with the eggs and the owl. Then the storm stopped blowing. The eggs hatched and the baby elf owls came out.

This year in the Real World class at the Alternative School I, Michelle Mahitka taught the students how to sew. They learned the basic skills of repairing clothing such as buttons and hems and then they moved onto more in-depth projects. Students learned how to thread a sewing machine, then made potholders and pillows.

The next board meeting is 6 p.m. Monday, June 15, in the boardroom. The agenda will be available on the district website at www. sequim.k12.wa.us. Board meetings are open to the public and there is time set aside for public comment.

Legends of the Desert Animals by Helena Hana In the desert, a long time ago … there were some animals named Mr. Tortoise, Mrs. Coyote, Mrs. Jack Rabbit, Mr. Lizard and Mrs. Piggy. They were good at adventuring. But there was a big problem. There was a big ginormous dust storm. They did not know what to do. HANA Finally, Mr. Tortoise thought for a moment. Then he had an idea. His idea was to move quickly and try not to get hurt. So they moved quickly. But, there was another problem. The tortoise was moving slow. So the jack rabbit picked up the tortoise and hopped quickly away.

youngster, no matter what her age, spend some time outside daily, rain or shine. Never let the summer turn into a screen-only summer. Sure she may watch some television and be on her computer or phone sometimes but don’t let it be dominate in her summer life. Summer is a special time. You need to add to that specialness in many ways. Talk more with your child than you do during the limited time after school is out. Take her more places, see more things, and learn while you are doing it. If you haven’t been out to the Makah Cultural and Research Center in Neah Bay, that is an incredibly worthwhile experience. When was the last time you went for a walk together? Read together every night. When the summer is over, hopefully you can look back on what you and she accomplished. This shouldn’t be a chore; make it fun. Learning occurs all around you. You just need to be open to it and excited about it when it happens. Have a great and productive summer.

A spectrum of colors for June 5 Art Walk The June 5 Art Walk color theme is white and the visible spectrum! White represents open minds, blank canvases that are receptive to any vision, friendly impressions and pure and thoughtful actions. Because white is actually all the colors of the rainbow, multi-color magic is in the air with blowing bubbles, the wearing of fairy wings and spreading glittery pixie dust is encouraged!

MAGGIE is a sweet girl who is great with people. Volunteers walk Maggie frequently and she does well with them. However, Maggie is not good with other animals... She did live with a large male dog in a previous home, but we think she would prefer to fly solo in her new home... Maggie needs a well fenced yard and an owner that will spoil her in her senior years.

ATHENA is the SWEETEST girl! Athena used to be good with other animals, but as she matured she now prefers to be the ONLY pet in the home! Athena will need a very well fenced yard, and an owner that can keep a close eye on her (she likes to escape, and sheâ€™s very good at it!). Athena loves to be loved, and she needs an experienced owner to provide her with all the best!!

ALEXANDER is a boisterous boy who loves to bark... He used to be very aloof, and not accommodating to people, but heâ€™s changed a lot and enjoys walks. Alex lived with another female chow for several years so he may be OK sharing his space with another female dog. Alex is also used to living outside, and may do best in an outside-only home. Alex will need a chow-experienced owner.

EVE was very scared when we first got her, but she has since become very sweet! Eve needs to go to a home where she will be the only pet, and where there are no kids. She can be very protective of her home so she will need a fenced yard to keep her safe. Eve loves to play fetch! If you are looking for a loyal pit bull, please consider Eve! Goa
