Creating a metro park district SARC prop awaits voter response by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

County controls for recreational cannabis still undecided Commissioners may look to voters for guidance by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

How recreational cannabis is locally managed could be up to the voters. Following a Clallam County Board of Commissioners work session June 8, the commissioners opted to seek the steps needed to place two ordinances outlining

county controls for recreational cannabis on the November General Election ballot. The act of asking the voters to decide between the differing ordinances comes at a price. “It’s going to cost a lot of money to do this when it’s their (commissioners’) job to vote on it,” Mary Ellen Winborn, Clallam County Department of Community Development

director, said. “It will cost between $20,000 and $80,000 depending on how many other measures on the ballot.” Since last October, WINBORN county officials have relied on a temporary ordinance to address Initiative 502 (legalized recreational cannabis) applications or inquiries. To allow the Clallam County Planning Commission and

Sequim area homes that receive much of their annual energy from solar power will be featured at the Sequim Solar Tour from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, June 20. The self-guided tour includes a free presentation on grid-tied solar power, four solar-powered homes to visit in the Sequim and Carlsborg area and a Tesla S

all-electric car to view. All events are free and open to the public. The tour kick-off takes place at the home of Glenn and Jeanie Robards, 133 Olympic Vista, just north of Sequim. The tour starts at 10 a.m. with a “Spin Your Meter Backwards” presentation by Power Trip Energy on grid-tied solar power. From 11 a.m.-3 p.m., four

information about the solar tour will be available at the kick-off site. The Robards’ home features a 9.81 kW SunPower solar array that provides about 55 percent of their annual home’s electricity usage. The Robards also will be displaying their new Tesla S all-electric car with a range of 268 miles. The couple recently completed a 1,900mile road trip from Sequim to Humboldt County, Calif., and back, paying for no fuel, as Tesla has free recharging

stations all along the route. Jefferson and Clallam counties are among the state’s highest per capita locations for grid-tied solar PV systems in the state, tour organizers say, noting that there are currently 188 grid-tied solar PV systems in Clallam County with a total power capacity of almost 1 megawatt.

Master Chief Moroles calls it a career Sequim Gazette staff

When he was 18 years old, a young Lawrence “LP” Moroles asked his recruiter for the shortest enlistment term, and he got back, “Four years.” That made t he young man pause. “It was almost a deal-breaker,” Moroles said, about three decades later. “That’s too much of my life. I’m not sure I want to commit for four years.” Four years turned into a career of more than 28 years of service with the United States Coast Guard — a career that came to a close on June

11 inside the hangar at Air Station/ Sector Field Office Port Angeles. With several members of his family in the audience, including his wife Christy and three children (Nichola s, A mber and Miguel), along with dozens of friends and co-workers, “LP” thanked them for support during his tenure. “I’m still fearless, just a little slower,” said Moroles, a Sequim resident who retires as Master Chief. “It’s been an epic journey and I wouldn’t change a thing.” Moroles assumed the duties as Port Angeles Command Master

Chief in August 2013. As the senior enlisted advisor to the Commanding Officer, he advised on enlisted workforce policies and acted as a sounding board for enlisted administrative actions.

Moroles’ previous assignments include Coast Guard Station Los Angeles/Long Beach, Calif.; Air Station Kodiak, Alaska; two tours at Air Station Sacramento, Calif.; two tours at Air Station Barbers Point,

Hawaii, and most recently the Air Station Port Angeles. Moroles is one of just 25 members of the U.S. Coast Guard to be an Aviation Maintenance Technician Master Chief.

Students Christen Compost Facility Sequim High School students belonging to the Future Farmers of America program cut the ribbon on their new composting facility June 11. From left, FFA students Amy Tucker, Jamie Schroepfer, Zoie Overby and Erin Vig with Hunter Davidson, Austin Wagner and Morgan Dippert standing behind, snip the ribbon on the composting facility at the school’s farm. A cost-share agreement between the Clallam Conservation District and Sequim High School allowed the students to help design and construct a three-bin concrete waste storage structure and better their farm management. The grant for the project came out of a partnership between Jefferson County Public Health and the Clallam Conservation District from the Environmental Protection Agency Clean Water Fund. Additionally, a variety of local businesses, including Lakeside Industries, Angeles Concrete, Breithaupt Construction, Adamire Concrete, Angeles Millwork, Sequim Redi-Mix and Sequim Valley Trucking donated labor and material to ensure the project was a success.

SHS seniors gain $3.3 million in scholarships S More than $350K comes from local groups, donors Graduating class sets mark for most school support Sequim Gazette staff

From Ivy League colleges and vocational/trade schools to community colleges and military service, members of Sequim High School’s Class of 2015 have their sights set on a wide range of possible careers. When they leave home, they’ll have plenty of support in their pocketbooks. This year’s graduating class boasted about 235 students strong who walked in the school’s commencement ceremony on Friday, June 12. At last week’s Scholarship Awards ceremony, the class was recognized for earning more than $3.3 million in scholarships — a school record, according to SHS career coordinator Mitzi Sanders — with more than $350,000 coming from local community groups and individuals. “As I was putting the scholarship list together I was thinking, ‘What a diverse class,’” Sanders said. “It seems like their interests are all over the country. (We have) kids representing just about everything.” Graduating Sequim High seniors look to pursue academic and vocational interests across the national map, from Tennessee (Shelby Lott, Lipscomb University) to Wisconsin (Will Bittner, University of Wisconsin), from Florida (Alex Bryant, EmbryRiddle Aeronautical University) to New Hampshire (Emily Carter, Dartmouth College), from Kansas (Josh Cibene, University of Saint

Mary) to Illinois (Michael Cobb, North Central College; Samantha Cutlip, Columbia College of Chicago), from Texas (Katherine Stevenson, Baylor University; Caitlin Stofferahn, Austin College) to Missouri (Ali Thill, Cottey College). Sequim grads are looking at vocational training, including fine arts (Falisha Dail, Northwest College of Art/Design; Daniel Willis, Cornish College of the Arts), massage (Yvonne Baskett, Port Townsend School of Massage) and linemen schools (Travis Gaumond, Northwest Lineman College). They’re also interested in seeing the world via serving in the U.S. military (Brandy Austin, Adrian Espinoza and Dustin Shoffstal, U.S. Army; Matthew Galasso and Christopher Torres, United States Marine Corps) The Class of 2015 also sees several student-athletes prepping for collegiate sports careers along with their studies, including University of Washington crew recruit Elise Beuke, track and field star Alexander Barry —

who’s headed to Western Washington University — and Kaylee Ditlefsen, signed on to wrestle at Warner Pacific University in Portland, Ore., among others. “They’re shoppers — they applied to a lot of schools,” Sanders said. “They waited to see where they’d be offered admission.” Sanders called SHS’s CLass of 2015 “close-knit.” “They’re pretty supportive of each other,” Sanders said.

professional development time, late-start Mondays Directors seeking more information to shape 2015-2016 school year calendar by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

The Sequim school calendar for the 2015-2016 school year already saw some changes earlier this year and it may be in for more. With state school officials eyeing a 1,080-hour minimum requirement for students, Sequim school officials tweaked the school calendar for next fall that eliminated late-start Mondays teachers were using for professional development. But superintendent Kelly Shea later discovered the state isn’t holding districts to the 1,080hour minimum just yet. With that in mind, Sequim schools hosted an online survey that saw more than 780 responses indicating late-start Mondays were not as much a hardship on local families

as anticipated, Shea said. Now the district is in a position to keep the schedule as is (no Monday late starts), reinstate late-start Mondays or offer a third solution: to regain professional development time for teachers, Sequim administrators floated the idea of moving 20 of the 30 minutes teachers are on campus after school to the beginning of the day, all five days of the working week. That would give teachers 50 minutes of professional development time each day and it also would create a change in the daily schedule for students. Sequim students attending any school except for Greywolf Elementary School would start their day at 8:35 a.m. (they normally start at 8:15 a.m.) and end the school day at 3:05 p.m. (normally, 2:45 p.m.).

leaned toward putting it on the November ballot. “I for one think we should refer this to the voters. We can do that under our charter,” County Commissioner Mike Chapman, said. “It’s above my pay grade to determine in this case something that the voters gave us.” After “arguing two years” about how to best manage recreational cannabis, Chapman said CHAPMAN his “head hurts,” and he feels the voters would “appreciate the opportunity to weigh in on how it’s going to be regulated.” The lengthy controversy, however, urges Winborn to seek the establishment of longterm local controls long before November. Adopting permanent controls would provide “clarity and security” to both residents and those involved in the industry for the first time since I-502 passed in late 2012, Winborn said. “This just needs to be done,” she said. “With predictability we’ll see the industry flourish and residents find peace.” During the work sessions, Winborn pointed out that as a result of no permanent controls and thus residents’ resistance to the recreational cannabis industry in neighborhoods, the county has three land-use petition act lawsuits. “This is why clarity is so important,” she said. “We need to be very clear when it comes to land use and define the edges.”

“Our farm lands really are there for food production and these are industries. It’s totally allowed in commercial forest and we have plenty of commercial forest land.

Zoning restrictions Where recreational cannabis can be produced, processed and sold is a primary difference between the DCD staff recommended ordinance and the interim ordinance. “The proposed ordinance is more restrictive,” County Commissioner Jim McEntire said.

Anytime Fitness plans grand re-opening gala Center revamped and reinvented with special workout zones by PATRICIA MORRISON COATE Sequim Gazette

Re-envision, reinvent and remodel — that’s what Anytime Fitness owners Jay and Heidi Bryan have done with their 6-year-old business at 10135 Old Olympic Highway in Sequim — and they’re excited for members and the public to see all the upgrades during the center’s grand reopening from 1-8 p.m. Tuesday, June 23. On the celebratory agenda are games and prize drawings, a Jacob’s Ladder Climber Challenge, healthy snacks and beverages, facility tours and special membership discounts. Anchored in the corner of Rock Plaza at the Sequim-Dungeness Avenue roundabout, the center has expanded from 5,000 to 7,000 square feet with the creation of zones “that are identified by their benefits and purpose,” Jay Bryan said. “The primary reason we’re re-inventing is to make working out at Anytime Fitness as fun and enjoyable as possible, and to continue to offer variety and freshness to the community in order to attract more people to a healthy lifestyle,” said Bryan. “We’re not fitness freaks or fanatics — we just want people to have balance in their lives and exercise is the tool to do that,” he said. “Everyone knows that exercising can be hard work but it also can be fun. By redesigning the club and adding new equipment and a more inspiring space we are helping our members stay motivated.” Improvements to the club include

an upscale design, a brighter interior, new flooring, a new and expanded free weight area and TRX training wall, a special Core Zone and a special zone for High Intensity Interval Training. “In addition, we have added a brand new multipurpose room for our Post Cardiac Program, Bootcamps and other classes along with functional training,” Bryan explained. There also is the Ageless Zone with special resistance equipment designed to be senior-friendly and a balance area that will be installed soon. With age, people lose strength so improving muscle tone in a self-pacing way on push/pull chairs increases stability and decreases the risk of falling. “The Core Zone strengthens the midsection and stabilizes the spine where all movement begins,” Bryan said. “We’re very excited about our new equipment,” said Kenny Hall, fitness director. “We have added half racks for Olympic lifts by Torque Fitness along with more weights, Turbo Trainers by Star Trac Fitness, a Jacobs Ladder climber, more Concept 2 rowers, a skitrainer by Concept 2 and more spin bikes for our classes.” Bryan said he is very enthused about the new High Intensity Interval Training zone on the airy mezzanine level. “If something new is backed by science, we need to be on board and be experts,” he said. “With HIIT, they’ve found working hard for six minutes, resting and working hard for another six minutes, etc., has benefits that provide a different and better workout than cardio training. High intensity bursts increase the natural production of human growth hormone, an anti-aging hormone.” The HIIT Zone’s equipment works the lower, upper and full body, Bryan ex-

Even more innovative, the 24-hour fitness center has added a new multipurpose room where members can participate in a wide variety of classes. The room features the area’s only Fitnesson-Request system by Wellbeats that allows members to choose from over 75 different virtual/live classes anytime 24-7 via an electronic kiosk. Outside the multipurpose room door, Bryan demonstrated the user-friendly screen by tapping his forefinger on icons representing the type of virtual class he wanted and the length of time he had to spend for it. A suspended projector plays the class onto a large screen so the client can workout with the virtual instructor in the multipurpose room. In addition, Anytime Fitness offers scheduled classes with instructors at various times. Classes include Yoga Fusion, Kinetics, Group Cycling (often called spinning) TKO kickboxing and Bootcamp-style workouts. “We’re eager to show off the new club to everyone in the community,” Bryan said. “In celebration of our new look, we’ll be offering $50 off of enrollment and the entire summer for free to anyone who joins prior to June 30 plus and extra gift to those who join the day of the event.” To learn more about Anytime Fitness, visit www.anytimefitness.com, or call 683-4110.

The formation of the William Shore Memorial Pool Park District in 2009 allowed Port Angeles public pool officials to make improvements, address deferred maintenance and be creative with the events and programs offered, such as “dive-in” movie showings, according to Steven Burke, William Shore Memorial Pool executive director.

From page A-1 taxing district will be managed by five elected commissioners. Although this is unlike the neighboring William Shore Memorial Pool Park District responsible for the Port Angeles public pool, Steven Burke, William Shore Memorial Pool executive director, admits he’s “seen metropolitan park districts work well with either an elected or an ex officio board.” Assuming the SARC Metropolitan Park District forms, the newly elected commissioners also would become active upon certification of the election.

Getting started Drafting bylaws and assigning positions, such as the chairman and vice chairman are “the responsibility of the new board at its first meeting,” Craig Miller, attorney for SARC, said. This first meeting is considered an “organizational meeting.” “At this point, when we go down to the ballot box to vote, we are all relying upon what they (commissioner candidates) said they would do,” Miller said. Typically, the board will direct someone to draft the bylaws, such as an attorney or a committee, Miller said. Once drafted, the bylaws are accepted via vote of the new board. “Once the metropolitan park

Charles Bush He serves as the development services director for the City of Issaquah, which he’s held since April 2014. Last year, he managed about $250 million in construction in the city. Prior, he served as deputy city administrator from May 2012-March 2014 where he managed 161 employees and $45 million in operating and $18 million capital budgets. Bush said he’s interested in Sequim “as a result of the challenges I see represented in the city’s goals and plans, the friendly people I encountered on my visits, Sequim’s beauty and Sequim’s potential.” “Great things are happening in Sequim and there is the potential for much more,” he said. Along with his time in Issaquah, Bush spent four years (2008-2012) in Prosser as its city administrator where he created a partnership with the local Boys & Girls Club and with a $3 million aquatic center renovation. Bush also worked nearly six years for Bellevue splitting his time as the intergovernmental management analyst

district is passed, you don’t really have any structure,” Burke said. “There will be a moment of ‘deer in the headlights’ no matter what.” Fortunately, SARC has existing bylaws, policies and procedures that can be adopted or modeled, he said. Burke also suggests the new board of commissioners develop an advisory committee — something the William Shore Memorial Pool Park District has and that proves to be “quiet helpful.” If the SARC Metropolitan Park District proposition passes, the assets of the existing junior taxing district are transferred through an interlocal agreement between the SARC board and the new metro board, Miller said.

There, he oversaw the commission that provided water to 225,000 people, a $10 million budget and helped create a $22 million capital plan for 2015-2016. Some of his accomplishments, DuRocher states, are that he maintained the lowest water rates for agencies providing Lake Michigan water and he helped create and implement the commission’s first strategic plan and long-term capital plan. DuRocher said he was drawn to Sequim’s open position as a “combination of it being a small town, council-manager form of government and in the Pacific Northwest.” DuRocher also served

Graham and her husband bought property in Brinnon more than 10 years ago, she said, and they moved there recently to find new opportunities in the Olympic Peninsula area. “I have spent time in Sequim attending many events (Lavender and Irrigation festivals), supported local artists by frequenting the art galleries to make our house a home, and hiked local trails, so when the position of city manager opened I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to apply in a city that offers so much yet is a small town,” Graham said.

In her time, some of her accomplishments include obtaining grants for the downtown historical area, creating an employee retention initiative and beginning to research building a town hall and the feasibility of providing water services. Kimball said living in Washington always has been of interest to her. “My family and I were very much attracted to the profile of the community — A charming but very functional municipality providing full services which would offer the necessary career advancement and adequate challenge for me professionally,” she said. “At the same time, it is a family friendly community which offers values and lifestyles that mirror our own.” From October 2008-Dec. ember 2011, Kimball was the city manager for Bowling Green in Florida where she handled 10 percent budget shortfalls and obtained a $700,000 grant to upgrade citywide water distribution system.

His last job was serving as deputy director of Human Resources with the City of North Las Vegas, Nev., where different reports said he was laid off after two months for financial crises in 2013. Previously, he was the longest tenured city manager/ town manager in Pahrump, Nev. (June 2008-July 2013), Carlin, Nev. (2000-2008), and Lincoln Heights, Ohio (1997-1999). Kohbarger said he likes everything Sequim offers including “the challenges facing the community and the new city manager, the community, location and the desire to work for a local government that has an excellent reputation with much potential.” As town manager in Pahrump, Kohbarger said he improved the town’s ending fund balance by more than $1 million in his tenure despite losing nearly 65 percent of its assessed valuation and 40 percent of its property tax revenue. He also renovated a park, digitized records and saw reductions of upwards of $1 million in the town’s budget from 2010-2012 that resulted in no layoffs. In Carlin, he partnered with multiple agencies to construct a 3.8-mile water line extension to the University of Nevada–Reno fire science academy that reopened the facility to maintain 45 jobs. He also coordinated construction of a senior center and simplified the application process for developers. Kohbarger holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a master of public administration degree from Bowling Green State University.

cause worry among taxpayers, a metropolitan park district “can be shut down as easily as it was created” and through a similar process, Burke said. The formation of a metropolitan park district requires a majority of the voters. To shut a metropolitan park district down requires the same, he said. “Metropolitan park districts are one tool available to keep public facilities open,” Burke said. “It’s worked well for us.” Throughout the Midwest, metropolitan park districts are common, he said, noting that “We’re a little behind.” Funding through a metropolitan park district has “created a very stable facility financially,” Burke said, allowing him and the staff to make improvements they otherwise couldn’t, address ongoing maintenance and be creative with the types of activities and programs offered to the public. 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. Primary Election ballots are mailed July 15, with the election drawing to a close Aug. 4.

Sequim alumni seeks support from dental disaster Michelle Pruden’s ’12 surgery left her in pain and in debt Sequim Gazette staff

Since she was 2-yearsold, Michelle Pruden, 24, has been dealing with her teeth. That’s when she had her first root canal and now the 2009 Sequim High grad is facing a debt-load from her dentist and doctors. She’s seeking support through an online fundraiser at www.gofundme. com/michellepruden to help with her medical bills and to prevent her from losing a front tooth by having it crowned.

Pruden said she’s spent upwards of $15,000 on her adult teeth and she’s had six root canals in her front six teeth. Her most recent incident occurred in 2012 while serving with the Montana Conservation Corps. She needed a root canal but the dentist perforated the root and injected sodium hypochlorite into her face, causing permanent nerve damage. She was hospitalized afterwards with a swollen face and intense pain. Pruden said she hired a

lawyer but he retired and she found herself halfway through without support. She’s been a volunteer with AmeriCorps since 2010 and recently moved back to Sequim after doing trail work for the agency in California because her insurance isn’t covered there. “I’m trying to raise money to crown this tooth so it will help me get out of pain and protect the tooth,” she said. “I’m also trying to raise money for other dental work needed and to help pay for the hospital bill from this injury.” Again, the link to help Pruden is www.gofundme. com/michellepruden.

In 2012, Michelle Pruden had surgery for a root canal that resulted in swelling and permanent nerve damage. She’s seeking assistance to crown the tooth. Photos courtesy of Michelle Pruden

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Council should think ‘regional’ I was dismayed by the comments from some city council members in reaction to air service from Port Angeles to Seattle. I regularly take a door-to-door shuttle to SeaTac and it takes about two-and-a-half hours just to drive it and then you need to get there a couple of hours before your flight. If the Hood Canal bridge is up, it can be longer and you miss your flight. I’m retired so I have more time than money and it’s a good option for me. My flight was once changed the day before and I flew from Port Angeles to SeaTac. What a treat! It was easy to get someone to take me to P.A. and I could have parked my car there much cheaper than at SeaTac. I used to be a business traveler and time was money. Port Angeles, and the county as a whole, has been working to improve the attraction for businesses, doctors and teachers to the peninsula. Why on earth would every citizen not support an air service to this area? What’s good for Port Angeles is good for Sequim. Linda Benson Sequim

Sweet Dreams Are … Whoa! What did we just experience? The Snappy Players of Clallam Mosaic, the nonprofit organization that favorably expands the lives of developmentally challenged adults, did it again! Their production of “Sweet Dreams Are … “ took us into time traveling adventures that steampunked us all into a vortex that tweaked sanity to the point of insanity and then, luckily, brought us back to “mere” fantasy and great entertainment. Wow! The cast pulled all this off as the sixth installment of a series of The Bizarre (my terminology). I applaud them as well as the director/actor Bonne Smith and her finger-wagging cohort, Kim Wing. I want to thank Olympic Theatre Arts for its generosity in allowing this to be staged cost-free.

Shame on the City of Sequim

So many details were attended to, expensive programs were printed, the city staff were all dressed up in matching shirts, the Police Honor Guard looked amazing, the Chief of Police with his bagpipes was very special, the weather was wonderful, all was set in perfect order; but the most important tribute was left out of the dedication of the new City Hall. The Pledge of Allegiance to our flag of the United States was overlooked. This left an empty hole in the program and was felt by those attending, especially veterans. A pause took place after the posting of colors and beautiful singing of the Sequim High School Choir. The next respectful part of the program would have obviously been “The Pledge!” It was painful to experience, especially with guests here from another country seeing our hometown, not knowing that those born and raised in Sequim always recited these important words expressing “love of our country” before every important event. Since history tells us that this was done at the openings of the past two city halls, no less was expected at this current building. Are we not teaching the younger generation our values, traditions, respect and loyalty, that we learned during our small town events? Shame on someone who forgot this important part of the program! As if this oversight wasn’t embarrassing enough, the new city hall did not have flags flying on Sunday, which was officially “Flag Day” throughout the United States. How can you forget a day commemorating the adoption of the first U.S. flag in 1777? Residents were noticing but not the city’s management or staff until a citizen informed a police officer. Sequim is losing its character and traditions rapidly without the constant reminders from those who made this prairie the beautiful place to live for past and future generations. Louie Rychlik Sequim Editor’s note: We asked the City of Sequim for a response to Rychlik’s letter. It’s printed below: We were pleased that so many Sequim residents came out to help us dedicate the new Sequim Civic Center last Saturday. We received a great deal of positive feedback about the new facility, the Community Plaza, the stunning totem pole donated by the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe and the ceremony itself. It was certainly the intent of the City to pay ample respect to our great nation and the United States flag during the Dedication Ceremony. We feel that we did so by having the Honor Guard raise the flags, having our Police Chief volunteer to provide a bagpipe escort, having the Sequim High School Select Choir sing the national anthem, and dedicating the 9/11 Memorial, which is included in the plaza. As Sequim residents can see when they drive by, the construction on the plaza is not quite complete. The lighting beneath the flag poles has not yet been installed. It is against the Flag Code to fly the United States flag at night without lighting. Until this is completed, City staff will be raising the flags each weekday morning and taking them down at the end of the work day to ensure that we are showing proper respect. Steve Burkett City Manager, City of Sequim

Perspective on salaries It’s an ode to cognitive dissonance when pundits come out swinging (rhetorically) against a strong minimum wage or decent pensions for everyday working people, but don’t even bat an eyelash at bigtime CEOs who take home millions of dollars a year or outsource local jobs — especially when the economic evidence for the former, and against the latter, is so strong. For e x a mple , Guest Washington has had Opinion the highest minimum wage in the John Burbank nation for years and yet the state’s unemployment rate is on par with the national rate. Seattle rolled out the first phase of an eventual $15 minimum wage and King County unemployment is down to 3.3 percent. Anyone condemning that as anecdotal evidence ought to review a recent study from the Center for Economic Policy Research which found acrossthe-board positive effects in 12 of 13 states that increased their minimum wage in early 2014. Or, take a look at the work of Michael Reich (a professor in economics at UC Berkeley with a PhD from Harvard) and a team of other well-credentialed academics, who compiled minimum wage and employment data from around the country from the past 25 years — including pairing every set of counties in the U.S. across state lines with different minimum wages. Their conclusions: Minimum wage increases resulted in higher incomes for low-wage workers, lower rates of job turnover and had no impact on the number of jobs in lowwage industries. Economy boosting jobs are ones that pay enough for people to maintain spending on the basics like utilities, repairs, doctor visits and so on, boosting families, communities and local businesses in the process. So why do some CEOs seem to be intent on busting our economy instead?

Classic over-compensation Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, according to just-released CEO compensation rankings, got $84 million in 2014 (over 2,000 times the $40,000 pay of a typical Washington worker). Nadella is presiding over the layoff of 18,000 workers, about 14 percent of the Microsoft workforce. Boeing’s Jim McNerney received a cool $23.5 million or about 600 times

the typical worker’s earnings. He’s overseeing a year of job cuts in our state, overturning the Boeing machinists’ defined benefit pension, and, as a cherry on top, successfully bullying the Legislature for another $4 billion tax giveaway. Brian Roberts, the CEO of Comcast, received $26.5 million. Think about that when you are paying your monthly Comcast bill. The damage to goes deeper than that. By hiding its profits in overseas tax havens or setting up a store front in Reno to sell Microsoft products, Microsoft skips out on literally billions of dollars in taxes to our state and to the federal government. It is no wonder legislators are having a difficult time meeting the voters’ mandate to decrease class sizes in public schools and have (until very recently) dramatically increased tuition at community colleges and public universities. Boeing has paid federal taxes just three times in the past dozen years, according to the Seattle Times, for a cumulative net $1.3 billion federal tax refund. That works out to an average tax rate in that period of close to negative 3 percent. If large corporations don’t pay their taxes, then funding for education, health and other public priorities is shifted to small businesses, kids, families and communities themselves. Funding for family leave insurance, which would enable parents to give their kids a stronger start in life, stays on the back burner; elementary school students end up with larger classes and less personal attention; and college students go deep into debt to pay their tuition. Outsized CEO pay packages take from most of us – whether through higher prices at checkout, pushing down workers’ wages and benefits or not paying taxes toward the common good — and redistribute the money to a privileged few. It doesn’t have to be this way. We have a minimum wage — why not a maximum wage? History might even guide us to a reasonable standard here. The average CEO-to-worker pay ratio was 20-to-1 in the 1950s, 42-to-1 in 1980, and 120-to-1 in 2000, so capping pay at 200 times the median wage would mean CEOs could earn up to $8 million a year, or about $3,846 per hour in our state. Not bad – even compared to Seattle’s $15 minimum wage! John Burbank is executive director of the Economic Opportunity Institute (www.eoionline.org). His e-mail address is john@eoionline.org.

Center

From page A-1 sheet from the World Trade Center. Three Sequim Police officers recovered the artifact in 2011 from New York as a tribute to those lost in the 9/11 attacks. Trees, benches and pavers also line the new plaza leading into the 33,000-squarefoot city hall and police station. City staff brought in all facets of the Sequim community to perform or speak for the festivities from the Sequim High School Select Choir singing the national anthem to dignitaries from Sequim’s sister city, Shiso City, Japan, to W. Ron Allen, executive director of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, to Congressman Derek Kilmer. Patrick Adams with the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe blessed the totem pole and center to finish the ceremony. Diane Kretschmer, a Sequim resident for five years, attended the ceremony and said the plaza is “a nice gathering spot.” “I felt bad the police were in a shopping center for so long,” she said. City officials began designating funds for a new city hall in 2005 and plans later were combined to build a joint city hall and police station, which led to the $14.5 million construction of the Civic Center. The city agreed on a design/build contract with Lydig Construction and Integrus Architects. Previously, city voters approved a 0.1-percent public safety tax in 2012 to help fund the new police station portion of the center after being in the Sequim Village Plaza near JCPenney for 20-plus years. City officials also sold $10.4 million in municipal bonds in 2013 for construction and $3 million in utility bonds in 2014 both at 4 percent interest over 30 and 20 years. The Serenity House, former city hall and a few neighboring homes were demolished and construction crews broke ground in late May 2014. City staff from public works and community development, the police station and temporary city hall offices moved in a few days prior to opening for business on May 18.

Neuropathy

Get Rid of Irritating Numbness and Pain in Your Legs and Feet with FDA Cleared Treatment

Finally a Solution for Peripheral Neuropathy More than 20 million Americans suffer from Peripheral Neuropathy, a condition caused by damage to the nerves. This pain affects everything that you do, your work, your play and ultimately your quality of life. We’re here to tell you that there is hope. We have several effective options to help you get your life back. If you suffer from pain due to Peripheral Neuropathy; tingling, numbness, or you can’t even feel your feet; we invite you to call our office and schedule an appointment to learn more about the latest treatment available. At NW Pain Relief Centers, we offer advanced programs and our goal is to help you have a better quality of life. There are many symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy, which is essentially damage to the peripheral nerve system. Some would describe it as wearing an invisible ‘glove,’ extreme electric-like sensitivity to the touch, burning, or walking on pins and needles.

Symptoms of Neuropathy: • Numbness

Imagine if you could: • Walk or run without pain or discomfort? • Do yard work and enjoy the outdoors? • Play with your children or grandchildren?

• Leg cramping • Sharp electrical-like pain • Difficulty sleeping from leg & foot discomfort • Prickling or tingling of the feet or hands

• Sleep better and wake up refreshed? • Improve your overall quality of life?!

• Burning pain • Pain when you walk

Is there a lasting treatment for the symptoms of Neuropathy?

non-surgical treatment with little discomfort and no prescription drugs which is a real option for lasting relief. Isn’t this something worth exploring?

Treating a problem by masking the symptom has never been a viable long-term solution. Previous treatment options for Peripheral Neuropathy have been a small handful of pain medications. This type of pain relief is temporary. Often these treatments lead to even more health problems or worse yet—addiction. So many people innocently fall into abusing pain pills while initially using them to alleviate the pain. It’s time to look into a solution to your pain that does not involve prescription pain pills.

Find out if you’re a candidate for this treatment

Neuropathy may contribute to emotional stress and depression Many people suffering with pain don’t realize that the symptoms could be due to Peripheral Neuropathy. It is a condition that can be misdiagnosed or ignored until it is unbearable. This can affect all aspects of your life and may even cause emotional stress or depression. Why suffer longer than you need to? If you feel that your symptoms may be caused by Peripheral Neuropathy, call and schedule your appointment today. If you are experiencing severe pain, take action now! Don’t let pain control your life!

Treatment has also been effective in treating painful symptoms of arthritis and other forms of chronic pain. Patients generally feel relief physically throughout the treatment period and even feel better emotionally after experiencing a reduction in pain. When considering your options, ask yourself this question… If there is a solution to Peripheral Neuropathy that can give me relief and address the problem instead of the symptoms, is it worth exploring?

Not all Neuropathy treatments are created equal The Peripheral Neuropathy Therapy at NW Pain Relief Centers incorporates the latest FDA Cleared technology proven to reverse the symptoms of Neuropathy. When dealing with your pain, remember that there is a

That’s the message hundreds of graduating seniors from Sequim High School received at their commencement ceremonies Friday night, coming from their principal, Shawn Langston, and a host of their classmates. A full 100 years since bestowing diplomas on its first graduating class, SHS and school board officials did the same for about 225 grads on June 12, but not before hearing some pearls of wisdom. Valedictorians Emily Carter, Shannon Gordon and E. Vance Willis each had their say. “We are broken … because this world is a confusing place,” Carter noted. “There is no higher call than empathy.” Katherine Landoni, a 2015 graduate and staff-elected speaker, addressed her peers, encouraging them to use critical thinking skills and to “think like a scientist” once graduating and moving onto their next phase of life. Class-selected speaker Danny Willis (pictured, bottom right) drew laughs for his theatrical performance — perhaps his last dressed as a purple pterodactyl, he noted — and took the opportunity to quote martial arts legend Bruce Lee: “You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup … Become like water, my friends.” Langston presented Sequim graduate Josiah Anastasi with the U-Turn Award at the graduation ceremony for his efforts to change course in achieving academic excellence. Outgoing Sequim schools superintendent Kelly Shea added his two cents before the awarding of diplomas, telling grads, “I thank you for what you’ve done, who you are and for what you’re going to be.”

Bonsai: a growing art form in Sequim Dungeness Society host annual show this weekend

The taste buds for bonsai, pronounced bone-sigh, range from buying a few seeds for a starter tree to decorating your home with hundreds of trees. Members from Poulsbo to

The bumble bee, honeybee, mason bee, yellow jacket and bald-faced hornet are a few of the beneficial insects that help to pollinate plants and to control the population of non-beneficial insects. However, the bald-faced hornet’s aggressive behavior toward humans may, in some situations, overwhelm its beneficial contribution. Get It How are G rowing these beneficial inby Judy English sects recognized and what can you do to contribute to their habitat? • Bumble bees are large, about 1 inch in length, black and yellow and make a loud droning buzz as they fly from flower to f lower, spreading pollen. Bumble bees nest in the soil or in leaf litter where a single queen lays 8-12 eggs in spring. Emerging worker bees are able to fly in very cool weather, making them important pollinators of a wide variety of early flowers. Leave a portion of your yard not mowed and untilled to provide a favorable nesting site for bumble bees. • Honeybees are black and gold, fuzzy, have transparent wings, are about 3/4-inch in length and a bit smaller overall than bumble bees. Honeybees are active pollinators of many plants and can frequently be identified by the pollen that accumulates on their back legs. Mites have seriously decreased the number of honeybees. You can encourage wild honeybee populations by growing flowering plants throughout your landscape. • Mason bees look more like a large housefly than a bee. They are deep blue-black in color and are non-aggressive. Mason bees pollinate during the time that apple and cherry trees are in blossom and die out by summer. By building a mason bee nest near your apple orchard, you can improve the bees’ habitat while improving pollination of your apple blossoms. • Yellow jackets are known both as pollinators and predators. Like other wasps, they feed on caterpillars, flies and other beetle grubs. Yellow jackets have

‘Camp Heebie Jeebies’ jazz camp scholarships still available Community camp turns 20 Sequim Gazette staff

Camp Heebie Jeebies, the camp all about jazz, returns for its 20th year from July 19-25 at Camp David Jr. on Lake Crescent. Director Karla West said they have space for 70 students ages 12 and up with adults welcome to participate. “We have an all-star instructor lineup and it’s pretty amazing,” West said. “We’ll

concentrate on early jazz and big band and vocal jazz.” This year, West said camp organizers hope to recruit 30-35 players from the Sequim and Port Angeles area. However, with the $595 camp fee, West said they have partial and full scholarships available for participants. “No one is going to be turned away because they can’t afford it,” West said. “We always ask if they can contribute anything.” Students come from all over the West Coast and the camp originated at western

Montana’s Seeley Lake before moving to Clallam County. Camp logistics coordinator Bud Critchfield said students may come into the camp not knowing anyone but the camp has resulted in a lot of lifetime friendships. Camp faculty and organizers encourage the public to come to the camp to hear the children perform each night around 7 p.m. For more information about Camp Heebie Jeebies, visit campheebiejeebies.us. To sign up, call West at 406-862-3814 or e-mail to glacierjazz@hotmail.com.

Meet royalty at library Hound” and “Fifteen Minute Hamlet” by Tom Stoppard, will be from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, June 25, and 1-3 p.m. Saturday, June 27, at OTA, 414 N. Sequim Ave. Director Miles Carignan will have candidates read from the plays’ scripts which are available for review at OTA in advance. “Inspector Hound” presents a case of mistaken identity when two critics are assigned to a murder mystery play while “Fifteen Minute Hamlet” is Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” performed in 15 minutes. Carignan seeks five males ages 20-60-plus and three females ages 20-50 and actors will be asked to play multiple roles. The show will open Sept. 4 and run three weeks with rehearsals beginning in July. Resumes and head shots are encouraged but not required. For more information, call OTA at 683-7326 or visit www.olympictheatrearts.org.

Bald-faced hornets build a paper nest that can measure up to 14 inches in diameter by 2 feet in length — quite impressive! Beware — they will protect their home! If the nest is located near an entry door, along a heavily used pathway

or driveway or a children’s play area, consider having the nest removed by someone experienced in dealing with hornets. Judy English is a Washington State Universitycertified, Clallam County Master Gardener.

Cost is $95 per person or $570 for table of six. “We’ve wanted to hold a special dinner on the bridge for a long time and the temporary closure of the flood-damaged trestle gives us that opportunity while it is closed to through traffic,” River Center board member Tuttie Peet said. “Diners may never again have such a memorable way to experience and enjoy the natural serenity of Railroad Bridge Park,” Peet said. Space is limited; make reservations no later than June 30. Buy tickets at www.brownpapertickets.com / event/1691873, call 681-4076 or see www.DungenessRiverCenter.org.

The last train rolled through in 1985 and the tracks and bridge have since been turned into a popular walking, bike riding and jogging trail. Damage to the trestle in February temporarily stopped those activities. Proceeds from the campout and dinner will help support the nonprofit center’s educational programs and park maintenance. Anniversary festivities also will take place on Sept. 26 during this year’s Dungeness River Festival. A plaque will be unveiled commemorating the bridge’s 100 years and honoring that it is on the National Centennial celebrations Register of Historic Places. See www.DungenessRiverCenter.

The SHS senior — who’s headed to the University of Washington on a crew scholarship this fall — placed second in Sequim’s Elise Beuke shows off her silver the 2015 Youth National Rowmedal from the 2015 Youth National Rowing ing Championships at Nathan Championships.

A Ride for Al

Bradenton, Fla.

John Halberg, president of the Olympic Peninsula Rowing Association, says Beuke’s effort puts her in the upper echelon of rowers in the nation — not just among college athletes. “Elise has an excellent chance of making the National Team,” Halberg said. Beuke raced to a strong finish in her heat on June 12 with an 8:34 mark, and had the secondbest time in two semifinal heats on Saturday (8:24). In Sunday’s final, Emily Kallfelz — a 2014 U.S. Junior National team member — took top honors with an 8:10 finish, with Beuke second at 8:19. Kallfelz, a member of the Narragansett Rowing Club of Rhode

Island, was third in the event at last year’s Youth National Championships. Beuke now joins Kallfelz and about 30 other young women who will compete for seats in the quad, double and single skulls that will race at the World Championships in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this August, Halberg said. Rodrigo Rodrigues, Olympic Peninsula Rowing Association coach, was selected as one of the coaches to working with these athletes for three weeks in Connecticut to choose the team, Halberg said. Rodrigues will then accompany the team at the World Championships in Rio, where he was coach for 10 years before moving to the Olympic Peninsula in September 2012.

Sequim’s new varsity basketball coach is going to have a full plate next school year. Justine Wagner, current Sequim High School boys and girls tennis coach, will take on varsity coaching duties next winter, too. “Busy is good,” Wagner said. WAGNER She takes over for outgoing coach Evan Still after three years, who left for personal reasons. Still led the Wolves to districts in 2014 and 2015 with a 1-2 record and 27-37 overall. The districts win was their first since 2007-2008. They also overcame a 17-game-losing streak that started in 2007 against Port Angeles on Jan. 9. Wagner has served as the girls JV basketball coach for three years since she started teaching freshman health at the high school. “I’ve always wanted to be a coach,” she said. “It’s one of the reasons I got into teaching. I knew I wanted to coach tennis and I wanted to coach swimming but (JV) basketball was open so I jumped on that and I really enjoyed it.” Ditlefsen said he’s happy Wagner is moving onto the next level.

Husband-and-wife coaching team Victor and Julie Lancheros are stepping down from their co-coaching duties of the Sequim High School’s girls’ varsity and junior varsity squads. SHS athletic director Dave Ditlefsen announced the Lancheros’ first-year assistant, Brittany Murdach, also a Sequim High science teacher, as their successor. Over three years, the Lancheros duo led the varsity squad to districts their first year and an overall record of 15-26-5. Victor said they are quitting J. LANCHEROS as coaches to spend more time with family because they anticipate much more traveling. “Soccer requires a lot of attention and I feel like I’m neglecting my own kids after being so devoted to soccer,” he said. “Life is too short to not be spending time with family.” This will be Murdach’s first position as a head coach, she said, but she has played since fifth grade and played four years as a midfielder and striker at La- MURDACH fayette College in Pennsylvania. “I’ve always known I wanted to do this someday,” Murdach said. “I had a really positive experience in high school and I had an absolute blast working with the girls this year.” Looking at this year’s team going forward, Murdach said the team is very coachable with

A Husky legend known in part for some long passes is challenging runners to go the distance. The first Sonny Sixkiller 6k and 16k run/walk events are set for 9 a.m. Saturday, July 25, on the Waterfront Trail at Hollywood Beach in Port Angeles. In what organizers hope is an annual event, the races are SIXKILLER held in conjunction with the Sonny Sixkiller Husky Celebrity Golf Classic at The Cedars at Dungeness golf course (July 24) and will feature Sixkiller, who will participate in the event. Participants can register at w w w.webscorer.com / register?raceid=42579; cost is $35 for the 6k and $45 for the 16k. All proceeds benefit the Olympic Medical Center Foundation. “Ever since we started the golf tournament in 2011, I’ve wanted to do this,” Sixkiller said. “We plan to have several of the former Husky athletes who will be here for the golf tournament at the event.” Sixkiller was a dynamic college quarterback who turned around the University of Washington Husky football program and led the nation in passing in 1970. He also was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated on Oct. 4, 1971. Sixkiller annually lines up a who’s who list of over 30 Husky legends to play in the golf tournament, including Bob Schloredt, Nesby Glasgow, Marques Tuiasosopo, Robin Earl and Steve Emtman. Also participating will be former Port Angeles High School player Scott Jones, who is the only Roughrider to have played in the NFL, that coming after a successful career as a tight end and offensive tackle at Washington.

Sequim golfers raise funds for Volunteer Hospice Forty women from Clallam County teed off for the shotgun start of the fourth annual Memorial Tournament on May 14, to raise funds for the Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County. This event has grown in popularity, and as the number of participants has increased each year, so have the funds raised for VHOCC. “Community helping Community” is how VHOCC patient care manager Bette Wood, RN, described the spirit of her organization and in this spirit the tournament was born. This annual event is hosted by the Lady Niners from The Cedars at Dungeness in Sequim at their home course. Golfers from the Sunland and SkyRidge golf courses in Sequim, and Peninsula Golf Course in Port Angeles joined in for a fun nine-hole golf competition.

Jonelle Staveland is the fourth player from the NWACchampion Peninsula College Pirates to sign a letter of intent, signing her letter to play at Evergreen State College next season. “Jonelle was an outstanding player for us for two years,” P.C. head coach Ali Crumb said. “She was a great student, an incredible team player and a person with great character and integrity. She is our most improved player and that shows the type of work ethic that she has. Her role in the NWAC tournament was an integral part of our success and she was a key impact player off the bench. “She is going to be a great addition to Evergreen State College and I can’t wait to see the growth that she is going to have there.” Staveland, a 5 foot 8 inch guard/forward from Juneau, Alaska, joins P.C. teammate Gabi Fenumiai at Evergreen. Fenumiai, the Pirates’ leading rebounder in 2014-2015, signed on with the school earlier this year. Other Pirates set to play at different schools include leading scorer Madison Pilster (College of Idaho) and Miranda Schmillen (Multnomah University).

assistants. “We’ll have a fresh team this year with six seniors graduating and one girl moving away and not a lot of upperclassmen returners,” Wagner said. This summer, she plans to take 10 players to a team camp at the end of June. “The goal is to be the strongest and fastest team so we can get fast and easy points,” she said. Wagner played on the Sequim High School varsity squad from 2003-2007. She also starred on SHS tennis a nd s wim ming teams, winning a state title in the 100 breaststroke in 2006 and placing third in the singles bracket for Sequim High’s 2A champion 2007 tennis team.

over the place after a win,” he said. “I wish we could have had more wins but too many things come into play to have that though.” One particular moment that stands out to Victor was defeating Port Angeles on their home turf in the last game of the season in 2012 to make districts. “It was a good game and the players played hard,” he said. The couple also is proud of how the girls represented Sequim on and off the soccer field. “We did our best to show them a love of the game and the youth,” Victor said. “They wanted to win and be successful. They played with character, which is very important to me. Give it all you got — win or lose.” The couple will remain working in Sequim School District.

While the Lancheros only have been coaching the girls teams for three years, Victor and Julie’s coaching duties go back years with long stints leading recreational soccer teams, the high school JV boys and more. With coaching the girls, Victor said he knew they had a good heart for the game. Reach Matthew Nash at “The proudest times for me mna sh@sequimga zette. was seeing them jumping all com.

The annual Aspiring Artists and Promising Painters art exhibit was held in the Helen Haller Elementary School library on June 1. Above, kindergarteners Ryan Weidman (from Stephanie Nash’s class) and Jackson Laboy (from Judy Flynn’s class), along with Mary Laboy, examine an array of aluminum foil sculptures. Families were invited to view the art work and enjoy light refreshments. Fifth-grade teacher Rachel Oden and kindergarten teacher Stephanie GrotzkeNash are the organizers of this event. “We are working on growing our art club to include every grade level. We are very excited that even more kids will be participating in after school art enrichment next year,” said Grotzke-Nash. Submitted photo

Shopping with your child Shopping can be fun with your young child. It isn’t always fun and it is only fun if you do the preparation and planning ahead of time. Here are some tips that might help make it a positive time.

Before you go … Make sure everyone is feeling fine. Don’t take a tired child and don’t go with your child if you are tired. If it isn’t the right time, postpone your trip or arrange for a sitter. Be sure to talk with your child about what you expect from her. Begin by telling her that shopping with you is a privilege. Remind her that she is to stay close to you and she needs to use her quiet voice. Be sure to tell her that she cannot pick up the merchandise without asking you first. Bring anything with you that might make shopping with your child better such as a favorite blanket or toy to help her feel secure. A snack to help get through the morning or a story or picture book to occupy her time might help the time go faster. Don’t overdo it but just make sure you bring the essentials to make it work. Talk to her about what will happen if she behaves. This doesn’t have to be anything elaborate. A favorite

snack, a small toy or the promise to play a game when you get home will each work as a reward for good behavior.

At the store … Make a game of shopping. Find five things in one aisle, sing songs quietly to each other, count all the people who have hats on their heads. These are activities which help your child be a good shopper with you. Include your child while you shop. Give your child some choices while you are there. “Do you want red or green apples?” Have her push the cart or help you pick out the apples. Be prepared to bargain or compromise, but don’t let her force you to let her do things you don’t want her to do. Make sure you don’t buy everything she asks you to buy. Throughout your shopping trip let her know that

you are pleased with her behavior. Tell her how helpful she is being. Talk and play with her. Encourage her to talk, watch, listen and think. A hug also can be reassuring and say far more than words about her good behavior. But if you have tried everything and yet things are going wrong, you still have some options. First try to ignore inappropriate behavior unless it becomes dangerous, destructive, annoying to others or truly embarrassing. Don’t hesitate about taking her to the car if she becomes out of control. Take her to the restroom or at least out of the store, but somewhere no one else can listen. Tell her quietly, eye to eye, that her behavior is not OK. Do not let her think that you will allow her to misbehave in public. Wait for her to at least calm down before you say anything to her and certainly before you take her back into the store. Then ask if she is ready to try shopping again. If this fails and you cannot calm her down, go home. Don’t ever buy a child a treat from the store when she is throwing a fit to try to get her to stop. Don’t ever hit or spank her when you are

in the store and hopefully not when you are out of the store. I always remember one mother who screamed at her child in the store and then swatted him for his behavior. It wasn’t the child who should have been punished.

Shopping can be fun … If you are shopping for groceries or at the mall, the same rules apply. You just have to teach your child how to do it. It is worth the time you invest to do this. You will find that the rules you successfully apply here easily can be transferred to when you go out to dinner. Set the stage the same way and follow through the same way. Actually, these rules work for going to visit people, a trip to the doctor and most other situations where you are out in public. You can see why it is so important to have things work at the grocery store.

and humid! Flora Walchenbach: We were very careful in soldering so we didn’t have any short-circuiting in competition. Liam Payne: The cord kept getting knotted and that caused problems. Also, we blew a fuse twice. It was another obstacle to face. We learned a lot. Brenden Jack: We had four days of pool time to practice with our Rover at SARC, which was great. I JACK felt like I learned a lot from putting our presentation board together. Andrew Tucker: This experience really strengthened our partnering skills. We really worked well as a team. Blake Wiker: Our run was consistent; everything went well. Emily Glenn: It was a good experience. Our last minute adjustments paid off. Elizabeth Sweet: There’s not a lot of time to get the task completed, but that’s what makes it fun! Damon Little: We explored the possibility that using spray foam would be better than flotation tubes, but it proved inconsistent. Aaron Jackson: We made the switch and went with the traditional flotation for competition.

Bonsai

“Bonsai is a living sculpture that’s never quite finished.”

From page B-1 is one of the rare club members to still have his first tree, a juniper squamata, he bought in 1972 on Long Island, N.Y. “I did some bad things to it but I managed not to kill it,” he said. The former Rutgers University microbiology professor said he first read about bonsai trees in a magazine and it sounded like magic to him. Years later he visited the United States National Arboretum in Washington, D.C., and soon thereafter bought his first tree. Fellow bonsai enthusiast Charlie Anderson of Poulsbo said a friend from Bainbridge Island got him into it. “He told me he can’t stand it anymore. He had to do it as a kid (in Japan) with his father,” Anderson said. “I started by putting in a Japanese garden at the house and having a couple of plants in the garden. Then we moved to a new house and decided to have a bonsai outside these two windows. Those two grew to 20 and grew to 80.”

Richard Bartha

is that bonsai are meant to grow indoors. “People think that because they see bonsai indoors in pictures,” he said. “They can come in briefly for entertaining or pictures but then they need to go back out.” Bartha, who teaches an introductory course for the club, said everyone makes mistakes with their trees and it’s a good idea to start small with an inexpensive plant. However, Bartha said he’s never paid more than $15 on a tree while others say prices can go upwards of $2,000. The Dungeness Bonsai Society also offers an auction at its September meeting for trees to offer an opportunity to obtain established trees for a good price. The society was established in 1976 and has held an annual show ever since. It’s boasted upwards of 100 members and meets once a month at 10 a.m. the first Tuesday of each month. Its next meeting is July 7 at Pioneer Memorial Park. For more information, visit https://dungenessbonsai.wordpress.com.

Ron Quigley, of Diamond Point, looks for wilted blooms on his Satsuki azalea, which means fifth moon for the fifth month of the Oriental lunar calendar. He said it flowers in late May or early June. Sequim Gazette photo by Matthew Nash

“Bonsai is a living sculpture that’s never quite finished,” Bartha said. Anderson said he believes bonsai is the only 4-D art form An art form because it includes height, width, Club president Bob Stack said depth and time. many club members’ passion for bon“Regardless of the age of the sai comes from a love for horticulture material, you are trying to make it but they also love the art aspect. look very, very old,” he said.

His wife Ruth Anderson said, “You follow the same rules of any art for balance, depth and the rule of three.” While bonsai owners with the Dungeness Bonsai Society may be experts now, they all agreed you need hands-on experience with the trees and time to learn.

“It’s a definite learning curve and can be quite complicated,” Stack said. “It’s complicated because of shaping the tree, growing it, keeping it alive, coming to grips with watering, soil and repotting. Watering can kill bonsai more than anything.” Anderson said the biggest fallacy

DUNCAN is a friendly boy, but he does have some sharing issues... Duncan has food and toy aggression. He has this sharing issue with both people and other dogs. We are trying to work with him on this. As of right now, he will need to go to a home with no other pets, and definitely NO small kids. Duncan is a high energy boy and would do best in a home where he has LOTS of room to run!
