The damaged trestle that once allowed passage across the Dungeness River at Railroad Bridge Park and served as a critical piece of the Olympic Discovery Trail could be replaced with a modern, river- and fish-friendly bridge by the end of the year. Ideally, construction would begin the end of August and finish mid December, according to Annette Nesse, chief operations officer for Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe. The property, along with its structures, are owned by the Jamestown

Tribe welcomes the salmon Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe express respect with ceremony by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

To celebrate the return of salmon to the Dungeness River and surrounding watersheds, Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe hosted the first Salmon Homecoming Ceremony, Saturday, July 11, along the Dungeness River at Railroad Bridge Park. Under the inquisitive watch of a bald eagle settled in a nearby tree, tribal members both young and old, as well as representatives from other Northwest tribes and community members and

of how it was treated well and deeply respected by the area’s native people. A record number of pink salmon are expected to begin traveling up the Dungeness River mid-month. To prepare, fisheries management officials among the state and tribe are working to try to ensure successful fish passage to spawning grounds despite the extremely low river flows – the result of warmer temperatures and thus little to no mountain snowpack.

New, true to the Blue

The undeveloped, county-owned property east of Sequim is to be rezoned this fall from R5 (Rural Low) to PR (Parks and Recreation) so county officials can continue to construct an 18-hold disc golf course within 20 of the 40-acre property. The course is anticipated to be completed by the end of the year, but the timeline could vary. Sequim Gazette photo by Alana Linderoth

Property planned for disc golf course to be rezoned Residents share concerns, but park officials say site remains ideal spot by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Physical development of a new 18-hole disc golf course east of Sequim was paused in March, but efforts to move the project ahead continue. Work at the site ceased after residents living near the proposed course expressed concerns about its creation. A petition opposing the course with 25 signatures was received by Clallam County Parks, Fair and Facilities officials and multiple public comments were heard from nearby residents at the Clallam County Parks Board May meeting. Most comments focused on the potential of “additional traffic” and “loss of privacy,” according to the board’s minutes. However, after discussing the public input, park board members voted unanimously to continue with the construction of the 20-acre disc golf course within the 40 acres of undeveloped, county-owned property on Thompson Road. “We feel that this kind of park won’t have much impact and compared to other uses. It’s a nice option,” said Bruce Giddens, Clallam County Parks and Fair supervisor. In July of 2015, county officials submitted the necessary paperwork to rezone the property from Rural Low to Parks and Recreation to the county’s Department of Community Development. The application will be Reach Alana Linderoth at processed along with other rezoning applications in alinderoth@sequimgazette. September or October, Gid- com.

dens said. In the meantime, efforts to secure signage for the course will continue through the summer. Other equipment, such as the baskets and benches have been obtained. “We’ve been able to take advantage of a lot of volunteer labor, donated material and equipment,” Giddens said. Already, the parking lot has been mapped out and the space for the first hole has been cleared. Scheduling volunteers to start again on the construction of the course by thinning and chipping more trees, removing invasive plant species and installing the needed infrastructure is expected begin in the fall. “We would like to have the course done by the end of the year,” Giddens said. “A lot of the progress depends on the amount of volunteers.” The property and its varying terrain, including both open space and trees as natural obstacles make for a good course design, Giddens said. Similar to the growing number of disc golf courses throughout the country, the county’s park officials envision the low-impact park being user friendly for people of all ages and economic status. Also, when settling on the decision to pursue a disc golf course, the implementation of one proved economically feasible in comparison to other park possibilities. In 2013, park officials estimated the cost of the disc golf course at $13,700 versus a playground estimated to cost $55,000 or baseball field at $230,000. For anyone interested in volunteering, e-mail Giddens at parks@co.clallam.wa.us. For county updates on the disc golf course, visit www. clallam.net/Parks.

Rotarians refurbish park bridges, signs In 2014, the Sequim Sunrise Rotary took on a community project to restore the Sister City Park which is located in Carrie Blake Park. Project coordinator Eric Mahnerd returned to the park recently to see if there would be any additional requirements for upkeep. While the Sister City Park needed no additional work, he noticed that three Carrie Blake Park entrance signs, along with two pedestrian bridges located within the park, were in need of restoration. Work ing wit h Pa m Leonard-Ray, volunteer coordinator for the City of Sequim, and Joe Irvin, assistant to the city manager/ parks manager, a plan was developed to complete the projects – the city would provide the materials and the Rotary would provide the manpower. The sign bases and bridges were power-washed, sanded and stained. New roofing paper was installed on the bridge decking. The actual signs were removed, scrubbed clean, waxed and buffed to their original luster. The Sunrise Rotarians working on the project were Chis Coolures, Peter Bahnsen, Eric Mahnerd, Paul McHugh, Jim Pickett, Dave Salmon, Kathy Schreiner and Jack Tatom. In total, over 75 man hours were expended on the project. Kathy Schreiner, Community Service cochairman said, “It gives our club a great deal of satisfaction when we work on community projects. Based on the positive feedback we have been receiving from people using the park, I think the project was a success!”

Young students are hoping a little of the proverbial elbow grease will help pay for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. A small cadre of Sequim youths entering their freshman year next fall were busy weeding and spreading bark last week at the Sequim Water Reuse Garden by Carrie Blake Park as part of their fundraising efforts to pay for a visit to Sequim’s Sister City in Japan. In October, 10 soon-to-be ninthgrade students, along with chaperones, plan to travel to Sequim’s Sister City of Shiso, Japan, as community ambassadors seeking to learn about and experience Shiso culture, live with a host family and see world heritage sites while representing the community. Taking part in the Sequim Shiso Sister City Student Educational Exchange Program costs each student about $2,400 for a nine-

day trip that takes them to Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara and Shiso. This year’s student ambassadors — Nathaniel Edge, Ozzy Kramer, Erin Gordon, Kaitlyn Viada, Richard Hall, Brenden Jack, Nick Kingsley, Jazen Bartee, Jade Webb and Gabby Dingman — are working odd jobs, holding garage sales and other fundraisers, and are now asking community members and businesses if they can help their effort.

Contributions to the Ambassador program via the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce are tax deductible. Call Annette Hanson, Sister City Association member, at 670-6774 or the Chamber of Commerce at 683-6197 for details, or mail a contribution to the chamber at: P.O. Box 907, Sequim, WA 98382, marked for “Ambassador Program.” Program organizers say the City of Sequim and Sequim School District are not able to offer finan-

cial help, but cooperate with the program as it benefits both entities. Now in its 22nd year, the program grew from the Sister City relationship between Sequim and Shiso. The all-volunteer Sequim-Shiso Sister City Association members group coordinates the program under the auspices of the SequimDungeness Chamber of Commerce. The program is a short-term student exchange that promotes friendship and mutual understand-

ing between students of Sequim and Shiso City and its residents. Students from Shiso come to Sequim in September and stay in the homes of the Sequim student ambassadors. A month later, Sequim student ambassadors travel to Shiso and stay with the families of the students who came to Sequim. Other exchange purposes involve teaching Sequim students about Japanese culture, history, and language through first-hand experiences; broadening the student perspective of international relations; planning, preparing and participating in international travel; and sharing experiences with family, classmates, teachers and the community. During the trip, the Sequim delegation of students and adults spend four full days in Shiso and the rest of their cultural experience between Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara and Himeji, visiting historical and world-class heritage sites, temples, museums and centers—traveling by bullet train, bus and subway. Upon their return from Japan, students share with individuals and groups who helped sponsor them about their experience. They also plan to recognize their sponsors through other displays, media and public talks in the community before and after the trip.

Three injured in Discovery Bay wreck Sequim man may face vehicular assault charges Three area residents were injured — including one airlifted to Harborview Medical Center — following a head-on car collision near Discovery Bay on Monday morning, July 13. According to a Washington State Patrol report, Hector D. Baylon, 19, of Sequim, was driving northbound on US Highway 101 at 6:19 a.m. about 13 miles south of Port Townsend when his Chevrolet Impala crossed the center line and struck a Ford Focus driven by Laurel S. Thompson, 45, of Port Ludlow.

The vehicles spun across the roadway. A third vehicle, a 1993 Chevrolet pickup driven by Darrin M. Liggins, 44, of Sequim, struck Thompson’s car. Thompson was airlifted to Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center. Hospital officials report Thompson was moved out of intensive care and into satisfactory condition on Tuesday, July 14. Baylon and Ligging were both injured and transported to Jefferson General Hospital. Trooper Russ Winger with the State Patrol said Baylon was allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol and may face a felony charge of vehicular assault. The crash remains under investigation by State Patrol.

Nepal: Less fortunate! Earthquakes! Help! These are some of the thoughts that may have crossed through your mind in the last few months. You almost certainly heard about the earthquake in Nepal. You may remember that Nepal already was a country struggling with many problems. Of course, you certainly realize that the earthquakes only made life tougher in Nepal. Death! Destruction! Devastation! Disruption! Dislocation! All of this, and more, was visited upon this small landlocked, mountainous country in a short span of time. The news covered much of the damage. Afterwards, many people here wondered how they Guest could help. Some inquired as Column to which group was providing the best assistance. Others Jim Dries may have wondered if their help would even get through. Still others may have wondered if much of a donation would simply go to administrative costs or be given out only in the capital or the larger easy-toreach areas while the remote areas, which may have had even a greater need, would be overlooked. Well, for any here in Sequim or Clallam County, I would like to offer one avenue to pursue where the aid will go straight through to a remote, needy area. In 2001, I had the good fortunate to teach English to Sherpa children in a small village in the SoluKhumbu area of Nepal. The village, Chaurikharka, is a small village a bit off the beaten track, but with an Edmund Hillary Project School. As a result of my time there I was able to Photos courtesy of Jim Dries meet a woman, Sally Hunsdorfer, who started a nonprofit group, the Himalayan Project. (You can go to the group’s website to find out more about it.) www.marioninstitute.org/serendipity/himalayan-project Sally Hunsdorfer has been doing development work in that region for years. She knows the area

well and I know her personally and can vouch for her. She was in the area when the earthquakes hit. The first one did not do a lot of damage in that area, but the second one did. She describes from her first-hand observation that the second earthquake was the one that “rocked the village to its core.” The lives of the villagers have, she goes on to say, “been turned upside down in an instant and many have lost everything that had taken a lifetime to accumulate.” In short, Sally and her husband are on-site often and have interviewed the villagers to see that relief gets through and gets to the people who need it. If you want to donate you should know this: I live in Sequim, I have taught in this village, I know the people involved in the relief effort. I know the money will get directly to where it is needed.

HEALTH WALKING

Here, for example, is how your donations could help: • $15 is one man’s labor for a day. • $250 would pay for a Nepali engineer to fly to Chaurikharka to consult on earthquake-proofing new buildings. • $500 would buy 120 bags of cement that would help rebuild two small homes. And the list could go on! So the simple point is this project is one that has a local connection and a known follow-through. You can get more information, including how you can donate, by going to this website: www. marioninstitute.org/serendipity/himalayanproject. If you want to directly connect with another American-based group that is going to be providing help to Nepal, you can contact Habitat for Humanity and get information on the Carter Work Project. A group of volunteers, among them former President and Mrs. Jimmy Carter, will be part of a group going to Pokhara, Nepal, the first week of November and constructing simple Nepali homes. I and a friend from New York will be joining them. You could, too. In short, if you are moved by the tragic events resulting from the earthquakes in Nepal, I hope you consider donating to and/ or participating in one of the groups identified above. Jim Dries is a Sequim resident.

Roger Maes invented this mobile work station for industrial application, plus all its components, and wants to manufacture it in Sequim. Sequim Gazette photos by Patricia Morrison Coate

Inventive ingenuity Retired pipe fitter wants to manufacture new product in Sequim by PATRICIA MORRISON COATE Sequim Gazette

A professional pipe fitter for 60 years and an inventor since the 1970s, Roger Maes envisions starting a plant in Sequim to manufacture his patent pending mobile work station. Maes, a vigorous 80, figures he’s got a good 15 years to accomplish his goals of drawing in investors, producing and selling the work table in a workerdriven co-op. After all, his mother patented a wheelchair adaptor when she was 92 and lived to be 94. Five of Maes’ inventions are components of the table as is its easyassembly design for industrial pipe fitting applications, including close quarters, such as in chemical plants and powerhouses. “It is for industrial pipe fitters and welders for the fabrication of piping 2 inches and under,” Maes, a 2003 transplant to Sequim, explained. “It automatically lines up pipes (for welding) and allows them to be leveled in the field, increasing productivity.” According to Jaques Dulin of Innovation Law Group, Ltd., who helped Maes file his patent paperwork, “Getting the pipes oriented precisely at 90 degrees, particularly when they go in consecutive different directions, has heretofore been almost impossible.

History resurrected at NW Colonial Festival Revolutionary War reenactments coincides with Washington Lavender Festival by ALANA LINDEROTH

NW Colonial Festival

Sequim Gazette

To time travel back to April 19, 1775, officials with the George Washington Society have organized a multi-day festival centered on the battles of Lexington Green and the Old North Bridge – events credited with launching the Revolutionary War. The rumble of canyons and booms of muskets will be heard beginning today, Wednesday, July 18, through Sunday, July 19, at George Washington Inn and Estate, 939 Finn Hall Road during the first NW Colonial Festival. A reenactment of the Battle on Lexington Green will be fought at noon each day, followed by the Battle of Concord on the North Bridge at 2:30 p.m. “Every American should know these two stories,” event director Dan Wilbanks said. “This is a fun way to tell them, and we’re working to make it as authentic as possible.” Atop a bluff hugging the Strait of Juan de Fuca, a replica of George Washington’s home sets the stage for the festival where at least two dozen re-enactors, some traveling from Arizona, are anticipated to make history come alive. Vern Frykholm, playing the role of George Washington, will be parad-

In an effort to spark interest in early American history, both Wilbanks and Abbott envision the now

locally-located replica of the Concord Bridge as ideal place to bring children and students for future learning opportunities. “We’re hoping this will be a catalyst for education,” Wilbanks said. “Not from a political aspect, but for the historic value and to understand who we are as Americans.” Between the scheduled battles, ongoing colonial activities and demonstrations such as wool-spinning,

gunsmithing and blacksmithing with colonial period re-enactors, sutlers and artisans can be seen in the colonial village bordering the battlefield, along with the separate British and Militia camps set up for exploration.

Drought and sun Many local lavender farmers say the hot and dry conditions have made lavender bloom early this year. Mike Reichner, co-owner of Purple Haze, said their lavender was about two to three weeks early, but that he finds it’s been “no big deal.” “We’re fine,” Reichner said. “It looks just gorgeous.” Paul Schiefen, co-owner of Jardin du Soleil, said they harvested some plants early for bundles but the plants are doing great. “So far the rest of the lavender left on the plant is gorgeous,” he said. “The grosso will be great for the

Sequim resident Virginia Stephenson-Toguchi recently has created a new piece of lyrics and music for the Sequim Lavender Festival. She will perform “Lavender Days” (“La Musique de la Lavende les Jours”) at the opening ceremonies of the festival adjacent to the street fair at 11 a.m. Friday, July 17.

weekend. We’ll literally start harvesting the day after (the weekend). If we leave it on too long it dries up.” Schiefen said lavender holds up well in the drought conditions because it is one of the best drought-tolerant perennials available. Mary Jendrucko, executive director of the Sequim Lavender Festival, said their farmers harvested some lavender early too. “Farmers have been aware of wanting to have lavender for U-pick,” she said. “They’ve harvested a lot of it, but left some out on the farms. The Lavender Connection for example has beautiful angustifolias but they don’t harvest it all because they make it into Saul Flores bundles lavender on July 13 at Graysmarsh Farm oils and other things.” With the lavender OK’d earlier this week.

by the experts, the weekend forecast looks favorable for farm visitors, too. But many visitors have been getting an early peek. “We’ve been swamped for weeks now,” Reichner said. “In 20 years, I’ve never seen anything like it. We’ll have 10 or 12 cars when we open and 25 cars when we close, which has never happened this early before. We normally get a few people but this is numbering well into the thousands.” Schiefen said his farm and the Sequim Lavender Farmers Association created an all-inclusive driving guide for farms open all summer as an effort to promote lavender through the fall. “It’s been well-received,” Schiefen said. “It’s our allsummer guide while the city’s guide is for this weekend.” The City of Sequim promotes all of the local events happening this weekend under the Sequim Lavender Weekend umbrella. Barbara Hanna, communications and marketing director, said they promote a comprehensive resource through www.visitsunnysequim.com and maps that include all of the events.

Trestle

From page A-1 S’Klallam Tribe. If the trestle that was compromised in early February by heavy rains that caused rapid currents, high flows and loose debris is replaced, Nesse assures the historic and undamaged, 150-foot bridge would remain. Whether the tribe pursues replacement or opts for a temporary fix is still funding dependent, but the tribe is “strongly leaning toward a permanent replacement,” Nesse said. However, a final funding estimate from the engineer is still needed. Although the bulk of the construction cost estimated in May at $1.8 million is seemingly secured following the state budget approved late June by the Legislature after multiple extensions, Nesse said the tribe will continue to look for “gap” funding. Cheryl Baumann, North Olympic Lead Entity for Salmon coordinator, said her organization anticipates receiving enough of a funding allocation from the Puget Sound Acquisition and Restoration and Salmon Recovery Funding Board to provide the $1.53 million requested for the Dungeness River Railroad Reach Floodplain Restoration for replacement of the west side trestle. The North Olympic Lead Entity for Salmon is a consortium of area tribes, other governments, citizens and nonprofit groups that work to identify which local projects are forwarded for funding. “The Washington State Legislature approved monies for those funding sources on June 30; however, we are awaiting confirmation from the Puget Sound Partnership and the Salmon Recovery Funding Board of our exact allocation amount,” Baumann said. Locally, the project to replace the damaged trestle ranked third among five projects the Lead Entity is seeking funding for. The trestle replacement project is expected to benefit salmon given it removes numerous creosoted pilings and fill which constrains the river’s path and prevents healthy floodplain processes, according to Baumann. It’s also part of a larger effort to restore the Dungeness River and recover

Puget Sound chinook – a specie listed under the federal Endangered Species Act. With the extremely low river flows coupled with a large forecast of pink salmon, it’s “timely” the flooding earlier in the year caused damage to the trestle, requiring the tribe to replace it with a bridge better designed for fish and one that allows “the river breath way it should,” Ron Allen, Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Council chairman told those attending the tribe’s Salmon Homecoming Ceremony, July 11.

Beyond the funds

Also, Dashti is being evicted from the property and was given 20 days from his court appearance July 10 to vacate the premises, Chief Criminal Deputy Brian King, said. Dashti’s next court date is scheduled for 9 a.m., Friday, July 31, in Clallam County District Court 1 for the charges of animal cruelty in second degree, defined as when a “person knowingly, recklessly, or with criminal negligence inflicts unnecessary suffering or pain upon an animal.” On June 24, Animal Control Deputy Tracey Kellas, sheriff’s office deputies, a veterinarian and representatives from Chimacum’s Central Valley Animal Rescue seized two donkeys, two sheep and four goats from the property for alleged neglect. The animals were taken to the rescue because of the low level of sanitation inside their pen where two animal carcasses were found buried, King told the Gazette in a previous interview. Other animals they inspected including a dog, chickens, quail, pigs and rabbits were found in adequate health at the time, he said. Prior to seizing the animals, Dashti was given multiple warnings regarding animal care in the past month. Deputies later reported to Dashti’s property on June 29 to investigate a dead, 100-pound pig. A necropsy performed on the pig revealed it was fed and watered and didn’t appear to be dehydrated, King said. However, with another animal found dead, King said they obtained another search warrant and seized the rest of the animals except for a few free-range chickens they were unable to capture. Previously, an anonymous post online showed photos of carcasses on Dashti’s property. Dashti told the Sequim Gazette in a previous interview that he isn’t hiding anything and that some of his animals were killed when tree branches fell on them during last winter’s storm that flooded his property. Dashti said he kept some carcasses because a Seattle company buys them for $60-$80 each. However, King said Dashti also told law enforcement he’s kept the carcasses as collections and for research, too.

few piers in contrast to the existing trestle and calls for primarily steel and concrete building material instead of treated wood. Piers are anticipated to be arranged 180-feet apart, with the exception of one 30-foot span to allow for an observation area.

Other Dungeness River work As another result of the recently approved funds in the capital budget, the Department of Ecology indicated that the levee setback restoration effort also underway on the Dungeness River will receive construction funding from the Floodplains by Design program, Baumann said. “The Lower Dungeness River Floodplain Restoration and Levee Setback requested $9,501,600 from the Floodplains by Design Program,” she said. “It competed against 71 other projects in the state and was the third-ranked project overall in that process.” The funding will allow county officials as the lead on the project to move “seamlessly” from the design phase, beginning later this year into the construction phase of the “important” restoration project, Cathy Lear, Clallam County habitat biologist, said. “The County and its partners appreciate the legislative support that we have received for restoring the Dungeness floodplain,” Lear said.

Although needed funding was approved by state Legislature to the appropriate organizations to allow for the allocation of construction funds, replacement of the trestle with a river-wise bridge now awaits approval by the Salmon Recovery Funding Board’s Review Panel. The review panel met July 14. “We could know their decision right away or it could take a couple weeks,” Baumann said. While tribe officials wait for the panel’s feedback on a design developed by Otak, an integrated architecture firm based in Redmond, they’ll continue to move forward with the permitting process to do work in and around the river. “Permitting is another big challenge,” Nesse said. “So far, all entities have been very responsive in trying to help us to meet our construction schedule.” Reach Alana Linderoth at alinderoth@ The design chosen by tribal officials has a sequimgazette.com.

Noise

From page A-1 band and used a noise meter to test just how loudly the band was playing. Chris Hugo, Sequim director of community development, said Hopper’s meter read an average of 51 decibels when the band wasn’t playing and an average of 68.5 decibels while going into the lower 70s when the band was playing. City councilors made the decision in March 2014 to abandon the city’s 1997 noise ordinance to follow the state’s code. Under state ordinance, one residence cannot be louder than 55 decibels — what city officials equate to a 200-watt generator — and be heard from more than 50 feet away. Commercial businesses can be slightly louder than residences at 57 decibels, but after 10 p.m. all homes and businesses must be 10 decibels lower than daytime hours. Hugo said the former noise code didn’t have a definitive measurable standard for noise. A violation for offenders costs $100 for each day not in compliance, but police and city officials said they’d seek compliance before issuing a fine. Promer said following city councilors’ decision to buy

Jack Havoc Guitarist Jared Williams feels no matter when they play, they’d be reported. “Even if we practiced 10 minutes, we’d still get the cops called on us,” he said. Promer said his infant son sleeps undisturbed in a back room during their practices. Band members said they have attempted to soundproof Promer’s garage but find noise does escape, such as the garage door rattling.

the general recognition of some things everybody does. It’s a social contract where we agree to live with some of the nuisances of others because we have to do them ourselves.” Hugo said city codes aren’t based on protecting someone’s livelihood. “We’d have a heck of a time trying to sort out who can violate what code,” Hugo said. “We could face that with anything like in-home operations where someone is making T-shirts in their basement and receiving hourly deliveries from FedEx.” Hugo said as cities like Sequim grow, issues like this will increase and become more complex. Promer and the band say they aren’t giving up despite stopping practices for the time being. “We’re not trying to upset anybody,” Williams said. “We’re just taking our time. We want to finish soundproofing first.” “Hopefully we’ll have it so soundproofed by the end of the summer no one will even notice,” Promer said. Reach Matthew Nash at mnash@sequimgazette. com.

While there is no cure, there is hope. The process begins with information and understanding.

Promer said the city’s decision to stop his band’s practices has already affected -his livelihood. Jack Havoc’s last show was in April in Port Townsend and he was offered two shows locally but he turned them down because he doesn’t know where they can rehearse. “The way they’ve set everything out between BMI — pressures from national agencies seeking compensation from local venues for allowing bands to play copyrighted music — and the noise ordinance, we can’t practice and we can’t play anywhere between the Oasis and Krush,” Promer said. “The only thing we can think to do is move out of the city limits, but I don’t feel I should have to move. Should I start complaining about people mowing their lawn or hammering? We feel our backs are against the wall more than ever.” Hugo said the complaints against Promer are more about how loud it becomes and “assaulting sensibilities of some of the seniors in the areas.” “It’s the incessant noise unlike someone mowing their lawn,” Hugo said. “There’s

We prefer to use education and hope for cooperation rather than keep a certified operator.” In March 2014, councilors were split on using a noise meter. Councilor Erik Erichsen said the state’s decibel levels are reasonable and that they won’t know if someone is in violation unless tested. Councilor Ken Hays disagreed saying the device could be used against people unfairly if they are targeted. Councilor Genaveve Starr said she wanted residents to pursue their efforts creatively unbothered.

However, Promer said he doesn’t agree with city officials using a sound meter. “It’s just an excuse to tell you to stop without turning it down,” he said. “It’s not accurate in any way.” Hugo said city officials only handle noise complaints when reported, and that they don’t seek out violators. Promer’s incident is the first time the city has used a noise meter outside of training, and it’s an indicator of a likely violation, Hugo said. “It’s not proof (of a violation),” Hugo said. “We don’t have any certified operators.

In July, with American flags flying, we celebrate our nation’s birthday and the freedoms and protections we hold dear. Although love for your country can take many forms, Social Security takes preventing and combatting fraud as seriously as we take our other vital missions. Social Security has a zero-tolerance policy for fraud. In tandem with local law enforcement, we pursue criminals who cheat the system by collecting benefits that they’re not owed. Fraud might take the form of someone claiming to be disabled when, in reality, they continue to work. That is why we rely on you — the American public — to report fraud when you see it. Remember, they are not stealing from the government, they are stealing from YOU. While we can’t prevent every instance of fraud any more than the most effective law enforcement agency can prevent all crime, we aggressively investigate and pursue prosecution of those who try to cheat and steal from the system. Our message to those who would defraud Social Security is clear: We will find you; we will prosecute you; we will seek the maximum punishment allowable under the law; and we will fight to restore the money you’ve stolen from the American people.

Established in November 2014, the mission of OAFP is to coordinate all the agency’s efforts to efficiently and effectively detect, deter and mitigate fraud, waste and abuse of our programs. OAFP works closely with our Office of the Inspector General to ensure that there are consequences for those who commit fraud — even if the act isn’t prosecuted. Social Security takes fraud seriously and so should you. In the same way that you might keep a keen eye out for suspicious activity that might harm our nation, we encourage you to keep an eye out for potential Social Security fraud. Some of our most vulnerable citizens — the elderly, disabled children and war veterans, as well as the chronically ill — are counting on you. If you suspect someone is committing Social Security fraud, report it online at http://oig.ssa.gov/report or call the Social Security Fraud Hotline at 800269-0271.

His arraignment hearing is set for 1 p.m. on July 21 in Clallam County Superior Court. The Sheriff’s Office reports investigators received the search warrant after an informant was able to purchase methamphetamine from two persons at the house on April 16 and liquefied heroin from a third person on April 17. Law officials say Morgan was present and allegedly asked the informant to buy $40 of heroin for him. Since Jan. 1, law enforcement officials say they responded to the residence at least 50 times for multiple incidents, from warrant arrests to domestic violence to property crime investigations to stolen vehicle reports.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR MPD best way to save SARC

If you have not lived in Sequim for over 13 years, you may not realize that SARC belongs to the taxpayers, was built and paid for by public funds. That is because the taxpayers have spent no money on SARC for the past 13 years. SARC has used fees and reserves to support operations, rather than ongoing levies. But it was never meant to be a business or a profit center. SARC is a public service like the William Shore Pool in Port Angeles. And public pools do not come cheaply. As Steve Burke, director of the William Shore Pool will tell you, “If someone tells you they can turn a profit on a pool, they are selling you something.” He is very impressed that SARC manages to pay for 80 percent of its expenses with user fees while expanding its user base. It is now time for us, the taxpayers, to step in and help take care of our facility. The cleanest and cheapest way to put SARC on a viable financial footing is with an MPD administered by a board that is dedicated to running SARC. An elected board of commissioners that is directly responsible to the voters of the district is the most responsive to the community wishes. The SARC MPD structure would be simple — an executive director reporting to the board. The fears that Mr. (Steve) Burkett and others try to awaken in the public of a board running amok with power hungry grabs are just scare tactics. Not one of the 18 MPDs in the state have availed themselves of all the powers granted them by the state. The city officials thought the MPD was a fine idea when they were proposing it for their program for parks. They just don’t want anyone else in charge. Judy Rhodes Sequim

Proposition 1: No thanks

I am voting for Proposition 1, the SARC Metropolitan Park District. SARC is far from a health club. SARC provides recreation days for many schools in Sequim and Port Angeles, including Helen Haller Elementary School and Greywolf Elementary School, swim meets and swim practices for Sequim High School swim team, rehabilitation for Olympic Medical Center, fitness and wellness programs for the senior retirement facilities including The Lodge and Fifth Avenue, just to mention a few community events that draw many non-members to the SARC facility. Different from the present SARC District Board of Directors, the five new SARC MPD commissioners can raise revenues from a numbers of sources, not just taxes. The five candidates for whom I am voting can: 1. control the amount of tax incurred by taxpayers 2. apply for state, federal and private grants 3. form a foundation for estate contributions 4. form Friends of SARC for individuals and businesses that want to make annual contributions to the facility 5. receive state and federal energy credits I choose to dwell on the positives that such a commission can achieve with the intention of minimizing or even reducing the burden on taxpayers.

CORRECTION Editor’s note: I spoke (wrote) too quickly. Contrary to what I wrote in my “Odds and Ends from the Editor’s Desk” column on July 8 (Sequim Gazette, page A-12), dogs — in limited circumstances — are permitted in Olympic National Park. Dogs are limited to areas such as parking lots, picnic areas and roads, on certain beaches on the west end of the county, on two trails (Spruce Railroad and Peabody Creek) and in campgrounds, but not permitted on paved or dirt trails, public buildings, interpretive walks, in the wilderness, on boats or rivers. Special thanks to Ann Moore for bringing this to our attention. — MD

Marijke Elbo and her husband Henrik have been married for 41 years and moved to Sequim more than 20 years ago from Los Angeles. She worked 18 years with Universal Studios and finished as manager of the international television distribution department. She began working for Universal in 1967 before the popular studio tour was built. She met plenty of actors and actresses and even Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly, and her three children. Elbo recalls that in the beginning she and other employees had to walk through a dirt parking lot and directors/producers/ actors bungalows to get to offices. One day a group of movie set sheep wandered onto her path. “They were happily munching there,” she said. “They wouldn’t move no matter what we did. We were late clocking in and our bosses were dubious of this excuse... It was a funny story that made the rounds at the studio.” But Elbo’s connection to Hollywood began with her mother Lomida “Mama Lou” Vysma an employee and later an attorney for different movie studios including RKO Radio Pictures in Amsterdam who distributed Disney movies through the mid-1950s. She became acquaintances with Walt and Roy Disney upon their visits, which led to Elbo and her family eventually landing in Los Angeles. ❝In 1953 Holland was victim to tremendous floods. A large flood punched a hole in the North Sea dike that protects Holland and flooded half of the southern part. America opened up its doors for people to immigrate to the United States without going through many of the strict requirements that would normally be required for immigration.

Dutch people are stubborn and many, many people took advantage of it but many did not because they’d rather stay and save their farms and so on. So whatever the immigration quota was wasn’t even half filled and mom had never really liked being in Holland because of the cold weather. We lived in Amsterdam which is in the northern part so we weren’t direct flood victims but we could take advantage of this quota. In those days, it was customary that you immigrated and go someplace on the east coast and at that point told where you would end up. Mom said she didn’t want to go the east coast where it is cold and damp too but instead to the west coast where it’s sunny and warm and she felt she’d find better employment there. She contacted the Disney brothers and asked them if there anything they can do to help us get on the West Coast. They were more than happy to help us and an executive secretary set us up with the Los Feliz Methodist Church who gave us a house to live in. My parents only had $20 in their pockets and my mom went to work for Columbia Studios and my dad was a gas attendant. She went to school and eventually became a lawyer and worked for Columbia, Universal and finished her career in private practice. She passed away in January.❞ Elbo was 14 when she came to America. She and her mother were born in Indonesia but immigrated to Holland because her mother felt it was unsafe due to social unrest. Elbo said coming to American schools was

Governor should look at modified airliners for fighting fires The U.S. spends most if not all funds available for forest management on fighting forest fires. This does not leave money for forest management, which adds to the problem and magnifies forest fire damages. Jurisdictions through out the world have 24/7 fire fighting departments. Why? To take timely action to put out the fire at the time of inception. Response time is critical. Unfortunately we do not do this with forest fires. What is involved in this matter rests with the Western state governors of Washington, California, Utah, Arizona, Oregon, Alaska, Idaho, Montana and so forth, in association with the federal government agencies.

In my opinion, the name Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center should be changed to Society Acquiring (other people’s) Retirement Currency. I am certain that the life ethic of my wife and I is parallel to the life ethic of other people our age. We worked hard and eschewed luxuries because we knew we would need money to live without financial worries in our later years, therefore we saved and invested wisely. Our exercise consists of walking, biking, and pushups, the only money required is a few dollars for bicycle maintenance - that money comes out of our own pocket. Now there are other people who like to use SARC, fine, but that requires money. The only difference between my wife and I and the people who use SARC is that we do not expect other people to supplement the cost of our exercise regimen. Two no votes on Proposition 1.

There are expert debates concerning the use of heav y aircraft such as the B-747 and the smaller aircraft such as the C-130. There was Guest a B-747 used for fighting so Opinion fire we do have some information as Daniel Gellert to this aircraft. The debate also identifies that a heavy aircraft such as the B-747 can only fly out of some airports with longer runways, while other such as the C-130 can use

airports closer to the fires. With the capability of the B-747-400 to stay in flight is so long a period, that this does not detract from it unusual capability to stay over a fire till extinguished. The governor should consider the following: 1. That the possibility for loss of lives in future forest fires is a distinct possibility. 2. That great loss of personal property for our citizens also is a distinct possibility. 3. That loss of our forests and other state resources is going to happen in the future. First and foremost, the Western state governors should consider and work on finding reasonable solutions

to these serious forest fire problems. I do believe that we can obtain B-747 airliners free of charge, with spare parts and a simulator by allowing the airline donating these aircraft to take a tax write-off. (There is no market for these airliners.) The cost will be in modifying (“tankering”) these aircraft to the fire-fighting mode. But this is a capital investment — in that the life expectancy can be estimated to be over 30 years, so amortization reduces this cost to a negligible amount. The fire-fighting variable cost of this venture can be shared by the U.S. government and the states. For

instance, the U.S. pays for the fuel, the states for the water and retardant, while the National Guard or AF Reserves pilots man these B-747 planes. These B-747 airliners have great ground proximity warning equipment already that can be modified for fire fighting operations — in that — safety of these fire-fighting flights can be greatly increased. Let me assure you that nothing will happen to control these wild fires without the governors taking an active role. Our governor spent time in Congress and certainly is aware of the Washington, D.C., scene of inaction. There are bigger fish to fry in Washington, D.C., and nothing is left for the serious consideration of forest fires. There is a saying: “Never open your mouth unless you are willing to back it up!” I don’t mind being a “point man” in this effort for free to get this job done. I do believe this is the most important issue facing our state and country. These fires add tremendous amounts of gases to an already warming climate. This is a needless consequence! The sole issue in attempting to succeed with a new approach to try to eliminate the forest fire scourge is the importance that the governors of the Western states demonstrate in protecting their citizens, property and state assets. This presentation is a no brainer. No funds are required by the state of Washington or anyone else to examine and gain a cooperative evaluation of using the same fire-fighting methodology we have developed and used for centuries throughout the world, in that, attack fires instantly in the inception with sufficient assets to “drench and quench” and to put them out. Our current methodology of allowing a fire to mature and explode in our forest certainly deserves to be evaluated and new more reasonable and scientific approach developed — and we MUST consider the methods of 24/7 fire stations we use in our cities — as we have learned to do this over many centuries.

Proposition 1 keeps the people of the county district (you) in control, not the city. More government is not the solution to this problem. The government, the City of Sequim and the currently elected officials, are the problem. The people of this county are smart and informed enough to know adding another layer of a governing body does not make it more efficient. Vote yes Proposition 1. Bob and Kelly Macaulay Sequim

The current SARC was created in 1984 via a property tax levy of $4-plus million. Thus, the greater Sequim property owners (taxpayers) own the SARC, but a board of five commissioners and the SARC director manage it. Problem: Seemingly, these six people aren’t doing a very good job fiscally. If the Clallam County treasurer’s data is accurate, in 2008, SARC was fiscally very healthy, with operating revenues of $971,000 and operating expenditures of $784,000, with an operating surplus of $187,000, and “reserves” of $988,000. However, by end of 2014, operating revenues decreased by 15 percent to $859,000, operating expenses had increased by 43 percent (compared to inflation of 11.6 percent) to $1,120,000, causing a multi-year (2008-2014) operational deficit of $390,000, with “reserves” diminished to $403,000. In 2015, it seems this downward trend began to cause “panic” (serious concern?) among the aforementioned six people? Rather than seeking to streamline SARC operations to reduce costs and to promote ideas to increase membership and other revenues, a 12 cents/$1,000 property value tax levy was proposed to reverse this trend, and have property owners/ taxpayers bail out SARC. Voters rejected this levy. Not to be deterred, SARC supporters are now proposing a different gimmick (a SARC Metropolitan Park District) which would allow the SARC commission much broader powers, as well as to tax greater Sequim property owners more than six times the recently failed proposed levy. Note: Only property owners would be impacted by this gimmick; non property-owning SARC patrons who vote would not be affected. Dick Hahn Sequim

Support for Prop 1

I would like to express my support for SARC and Proposition 1. I am not a current user of SARC, although I held a membership in the past. I spoke out in favor of Prop 1 two weeks ago at a League of Women Voters forum in Sequim. The Sequim Gazette ran an excellent article that outlined the broad issues as well as specific reasons for my support. I would like to add these comments to the discussion: I support activities that keep our youth out of the criminal justice system. I know if we keep kids out of trouble while adolescents, the likelihood of them entering the criminal justice system diminishes as adults. About 40 percent of an adolescent’s week is comprised of free time. If our youth are engaged in swim team activities, basketball camp, learnto-swim programs and other recreational activities that SARC provides, the likelihood of them getting into trouble is slim. In Clallam County it’s estimated that it costs as much to take care of one juvenile offender in a public institution for one year as it does to provide wholesome recreation for 100 youngsters for every day of the year at a facility like SARC. There is no other facility like SARC in the Dungeness Valley that provides good, safe recreational opportunities for our children. SARC, as a junior taxing district, has had the ability to tax us for over 12 years, but did not need to do it because it relied on a healthy cash reserve, instead. Now, when that money is about to be depleted, we need to step up to keep the facility open. With over 225,000 individual visits per year, and free or reduced fees for those who can’t afford to pay the full amount, SARC is a bargain for our community.

Know for what you vote!

life! Thank you, lifeguards and professional staff, for keeping me safe over the last 10 years.” I have a chronic physical illness that affects walking and balance. The best place to work out safely is in the pool. Through regular attendance at aquatic aerobic classes and by exercising independently, I’m still able to walk (with a walker) and maintain overall health. I’m aware of at least four folks with this illness who benefit significantly by using the pool and other exercise equipment. There are numerous patrons with impairments resulting from medical events, like strokes, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, hip and knee replacements that strive to maintain or restore their health. Noting with appreciation Olympic Medical Center’s support of SARC and with many SARC patrons of Medicare age, it seems likely that voter approval of the Metropolitan Park District proposal may not only improve overall community health but actually save taxpayers Medicare expenses. At recent meetings concerning SARC’s future, naysayers proclaimed they don’t use the facility. Upon reflection they might be comforted by acknowledging that SARC is here, should they need to use it, like the hospital and the fire department. They might even try using SARC and enjoy the release of exercise endorphins, with a corresponding reduction in the “grumpies.” Please vote yes for SARC, a local governmental entity with a heart for the overall community.

that better fit the bureaucracy label than the SARC MPD commissioners would. The William Shore Pool in Port Angeles is an excellent example of metropolitan district success that enhances the community. The commission also can add additional park and recreational facilities within the SARC MPD boundaries in the future. All things are possible with a SARC Metropolitan District. Vote yes for Proposition 1 and for our beautifully diverse community. Patricia Cavenaugh Casey Sequim

Sciatica, Stenosis and Herniated Discs May Be to Blame for Pain and Numbness in Legs LOCAL CLINICS OFFER FREE CONSULTATION TO THOSE SUFFERING FROM BACK AND NECK PAIN

Did you know that over 30 million Americans suffer from back pain every day? Sciatica and herniated discs are often misunderstood. They can result in pain and numbness in the back, legs and feet. This pain affects everything that you do from work to play and ultimately your quality of life. At NW Pain Relief Centers, we want you to know there is hope. We have the technology and experience that has helped thousands of chronic pain sufferers just like you. We offer only the most advanced non-surgical treatments. To determine if our treatment program can help you we are offering a consultation and screening evaluation free of charge. There’s no obligation and the only thing you have to lose is your pain.

]

Spinal Epidural Injections? Some people find temporary relief from spinal injections, however the pain eventually returns as injections are generally a treatment that aids in the healing process. Patients can become dependent on such injections and can have a difficult time functioning without them. Why spend a lifetime masking pain with spinal injections when there is a more permanent non-surgical healing alternative?

Bulged Disc Herniated Disc Sciatica Pinched Nerves Stenosis

Spinal Injection Complications: •

Infection

•

Dural puncture

•

Bleeding

Will My Pain Go Away Over Time?

•

Nerve Damage

Many people try to wait back pain out only to find that it keeps getting worse. They buy new mattresses, try different stretching exercises, learn new techniques for sitting and standing etc., only to find that their condition doesn’t improve. Why suffer longer than you need to? If you are considering extreme measures, visit NW Pain Relief Centers first! Why let any degree of back or neck pain persist if you can stop it before it takes over your life!

Is Surgery the Answer? Consider These Facts Before Surgery •

Back surgery can cost over $50,000

•

Recovery can be very painful and take months or years

•

Surgery may or may not relieve your pain

•

Dependence on prescription drugs may occur after surgery

•

Missed work can amount to thousands in lost wages

•

Outcomes may be uncertain, surgery is not reversible

It is true that surgery may be the answer for certain types of back injuries. When considering your options, ask yourself this question: If there is a solution to back pain that doesn’t require surgery, is it worth exploring?

The Solution: NW Pain Relief Centers’ Laser and Decompression Program During the spinal decompression therapy a negative pressure is created within the inside of the disc called the nucleus pulposus. Because of that negative pressure disc material that has protruded, herniated or slipped discs can be pulled back within the normal confines of the disc and permit healing to occur. Laser and Decompression Therapy at NW Pain Relief Centers can help you get your life back and reduce your back pain.

Laser Treatment and Spinal Decompression Allow Neck and Back Pain to Heal... NATURALLY

BEFORE

AFTER

In the before picture you can see the herniated disc (black) protruding into the spinal column (white, center of MRI). After decompression treatment, the MRI shows the herniated disc is no longer bulging into the spinal cord.

In addition to spinal decompression technology, combining the use of cold laser therapy, produces even greater relief. Cold (class IV) laser does not cause tissue destruction, instead, it accelerates cellular repair. The power generator of cells is called mitochondria. Cold laser is absorbed by the mitochondria, much like a plant absorbs sunlight and converts it to energy for growth. Cold laser reduces pain and inflammation, and accelerates soft tissue repair. Our dedicated team of medical professionals will show you how our laser and decompression can help you with your back pain and sciatica. If you have back pain or neck pain and it has been caused in whole or in part by a degenerated or damaged disc you may find relief from the customized laser and decompression therapy at NW Pain Relief Centers. We have helped thousands of patients find relief from the following conditions: herniated discs, protruding or

bulging discs, spinal foraminal stenosis, sciatica or radiculopathy (pinched nerves).

Why NW Pain Relief Centers? NW Pain Relief Centers has uniquely qualified doctors with years of experience helping patients find lasting relief. Their experience with laser and decompression therapy has been invaluable to their patients. Hundreds of testimonials from current and previous patients validate the effectiveness of NW Pain Relief Centers’ programs. If you are suffering from neck or back pain you should call and schedule your complimentary consultation. When you combine knowledge and experience with advanced medical equipment you too can find relief. In addition to pain relief, rehabilitation and injury care we also provide wellness care and physical rehabilitation therapy to keep your body healthy.

Who is a Candidate for Laser Treatment and Spinal Decompression Therapy? Our spinal decompression and laser system uses FDA cleared technology. Research demonstrates its effectiveness in relieving the pain associated with this degeneration, herniated disc, facet syndrome and sciatica. Laser treatment and spinal decompression are great options because they don’t involve the risks of back surgery.

No Risk Consultation! Even with these exceptional treatments, if someone’s condition has progressed too far, conservative treatment may no longer be an option and we would not be able to accept them for care. Fortunately we are able to help most of the people who come to us suffering from chronic pain. To find out if you are a candidate for treatment we are offering a consultation and screening evaluation. There is no obligation. This will allow us to determine whether or not we can help you. We will give you a straight answer either way. The only thing you have to lose is your pain. Due to demand we are extending this offer to the first 25 callers only. Time slots fill quickly, so call today to reserve your consultation and screening evaluation. CALL TODAY.

What Our Patients are Saying: “During the 1 1/2 years of having constant daily lower back pain and spasms, I took anti-inflammatory and pain medication, but nothing helped lessen the pain. When an MRI showed that I had two degenerative discs, I went through a series of lumbar epidural injections without success. The only thing that made the pain and spasms go away was Spinal Decompression & Laser treatments.”

Lavender on the peninsula Is it possible for you to successfully grow lavender in your landscape? In most locations on the Olympic Peninsula, the answer is “Yes” and probably without too much effort! Lavender is a small aromatic shrub that originated in the Get It poor, rocky soils and Growing moderate coastal by Jeanette climates of the Mediterranean. Eleva- Stehr-Green tion, topography and the severity of winter weather also influence the successful growing of lavender. Excellent drainage is essential to the survival of lavender plants. Like many herbs, lavender has few insect pests.

Typically lavender requires no fertilizer and rarely requires irrigation. Properly planted, lavender plants have a productive lifetime of 10-plus years. Since lavender plants require excellent drainage, depending on where you live on the Olympic Peninsula, you may need to amend clay soil to improve drainage. Soggy, poorly draining soil will kill plants, so it is better to err on the side of being overly porous than to have too much clay. If you are in the higher elevations, it may be necessary to mulch plants to protect plant roots from cold winter temperatures. A consistent blanket of snow provides similar protection to the roots.

Random Questions With Jee and Bruce Miller

Fat Cat Garden and Gifts

For the past 14 years Jee Miller has been discovering her ability to garden. What started as Jee and Bruce Miller’s personal garden in 2001 has evolved into five harmonious landscaped acres filled with U-pick wildflowers, lavender and berries. Multiple beds of vegetables, including many Asian varieties, are also integrated into the land, reflecting Jee’s Chinese culture. “I am a city girl,” Jee said. “I had never grown & anything before.” After meeting her husband, Bruce, while operating a beauty shop in Saipan, Jee moved with Bruce to his 40-acres in Arizona. “She liked the view, but the second thing Jee asked once we got to Arizona was, ‘Does anything grow in America?’” Bruce said. In hopes of proving America does have fertile soil, Bruce and Jee came to Sequim as tourists. It wasn’t long before they returned, but this time to stay, settling on five acres bordered by Matriotti Creek along Fat Cat Lane. “We came here to raise a family,” Bruce said. “It’s the perfect place.” Following the foot steps of his older brother, Jee and Bruce’s youngest son just graduated from Sequim High School. With the help of family, including Jee’s cousins and mother who regularly visit, Jee and Bruce maintain and continue to grow Fat Cat Garden and Gifts.

Where: 21 Fat Cat Lane Phone: 681-6832 Web: www.fatcat-lavender.com Given English was a foreign language, it was by pure determination and dedication that Jee learned to garden via translating gardening books given to her by a neighbor. “If you really want to do something, you just have to learn,” she said. “This is my first chance at doing something like this.” Unearthing a natural knack for growing things, Jee grows an array of vegetables, fresh herbs, garlic and berries. Colorful U-pick wildflowers and a sprawling lavender field complement the gardens, which are kept free of pests by a resident flock of ducks and chickens. When Jee’s not pruning, harvesting or weeding the gardens, she expresses her creativity by handmaking many of the unique crafts within the farm’s shop, such as lavender body products, essential oils, honey, jams and herbs. Jee also carries many types of teas from her travels back to China. With only periodic help from family, both Jee and Bruce admit that managing Fat Cat Garden and Gifts is a lot of work, however, they agree it’s become their passion. “I always say ‘just keep moving,’” Jee said. “I love what I am doing.” Fat Cat Garden and Gifts is a new stop among the farms and nursery of the Sequim Lavender Growers Association that are open and free to the public during Sequim

The “true” species from which lavender oil is obtained is Lavandula angustifolia (formerly L. officinalis, now L. angustifolia). Hybrids between L. angustifolia and L. latifolia (commonly called spike lavender or French lavender since France is the largest producer) are referred to as lavandins (Lavandula x intermedia). Lavandins bloom later than English lavenders. The flowers of the hybrid lavandin yield an

oil called spike lavender oil. While this oil has some similar properties to the oil obtained from English lavender, it has a different chemical composition and, therefore, different characteristics. One significant difference between lavender and lavandin oils is their respective effect in treating burns. Both possess antimicrobial properties, however, lavender oil helps with burns while lavandin oil can actually make burns worse, most likely due to its high camphor content. Lavandin however, yields a greater crop volume than English lavender, so if you

are considering growing commercially, you should research both lavender and lavandin. When did lavender become a part of the peninsula? In July 1996, the first harvest of the lavender planted in 1995 occurred in Sequim. In 1997, the first Lavender Festival was celebrated. Sequim lavender has produced “valueadded” employment for tourist facilities, marketing firms, printers, web designers and others. The harvest requires seasonal labor and some of these expert agricultural workers are employed year-round.

Lavender plants, lavender-related products and agri-tourism associated with lavender continue to be a part of the economics of the Olympic Peninsula. Sequim’s Lavender Weekend is an ideal opportunity for you to visit local farms, see lavender plants in bloom and discuss the varieties that would be appropriate to your interests and location. Take advantage of this unique opportunity! Judy English is a Washington State University-certified, Clallam County Master Gardener.

Academy aims to give area’s intermediate players a jump on competition

The home cooking seemed to work. The Olympic Junior Babe Ruth 13U team — a select squad of players from Sequim and Port Angeles — swept all four games at the North Washington 13U Junior Babe Ruth state baseball tournament, held July 9-12 at Port Angeles’ Volunteer Field. The team opened with a 17-0 drubbing of North Kitsap on July 9, then edged the Spokane Toros 4-3 on July 10 and toppled the NW Bandits 14-4 on July 11. In the championship, Olympic won the rematch with the Spokane Toros in easier fashion, a 10-4 decision. Olympic advances to a regional tournament in Meridian, Idaho, slated for July 22-25. A regional tournament title sends Olympic to the 13U Babe Ruth World Series in Jamestown, N.Y., next month.

Tennis can be lifelong sport, USTA professional Don Thomas says. With the help of a crew of volunteers, he helped give more than two-dozen area youths a head start last week. Thomas and 10 helpers hosted the Sequim Youth Tennis Academy, held from 8:30 a.m.-noon July 6-10 at the Sequim High School courts. Thomas handpicked the group of 32 players, each of whom had at least some tennis experience. “Overall, the tennis academy was a very good thing for the kids,” Thomas said. “We didn’t take beginners. We wanted kids who could hit the ball. Trying to get kids to the next level that was the whole idea here.” This program consisted of lectures, fitness training, stroke technique, strategy training and play. It included talks about importance of dynamic/static stretching and warming up, explanations of court safety and sportsmanship, a series of daily drills (Tag Team Singles, Champion of the Court, One Ball Live, Triples, etc.), “class” presentations regarding topics such as diet/nutrition, the history of tennis, singles strategy, mental preparation and more, plus Tshirts, snacks and medals. Thomas has developed a tennis ladder for use the rest of the summer months, so that area youths can challenge each other in matches. “The way to get to the next level is playing,” Thomas said. Because of several sponsors, Thomas said, the academy was free for all 32 players. Sponsors included: Sequim Valley Orthodontics, Extreme Builders, Inc., Lam’s Paradise Restaurant, Virginia Shogren Attorney at Law, Wiker and Wiker Construction, Terry Parks, Caryn Little, Don and Charlotte Hudson, Ellen Bartee, Bell Creek Bar & Grill, Dr. Pam Bundy, www.realestateinsequim. com and the LaCour family.

The Cedars to host fifth-annual Sonny Sixkiller golf tourney Sequim Gazette staff

The Fifth Annual Sonny Sixkiller Husky Golf Classic presented by Wilder Auto Center will feature the strongest field of Husky celebrities yet on Friday, July 24, at The Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course. Sixkiller was the dynamic quarterback who turned around the 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. “We are delighted to be a part of

this tournament – we think it is the premier sporting event on the peninsula,” said Jerry Allen, the CEO of Seven Cedars Casino. “We have been very fortunate to partner with Sonny for the past 12 years.” He has lined up a who’s who list of over SIXKILLER 30 Husky legends to play in the tournament, including former Huskies Bob Schloredt, Marques Tuiasosopo, Greg Lewis, 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. “I’ve always wanted to set up a tournament to showcase the legacy of University of Washington sports, especially football,” said Sixkiller. “I am extremely pleased to be able to work with the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe once again and am happy that it will benefit the Olympic Medical

Center Foundation.” A native of Ashland, Ore., Sixkiller played for The Hawaiians in the World Football League and was a cast member in the original “The Longest Yard” movie production. He now the senior associate general manager for the Washington ISP Sports Network. As a sophomore at the University of Washington, Sixkiller took the reins of a team that had gone 1-9 the year before and directed seasons of 6-4, 8-3 and 8-3. He led the nation in passing in 1970, completing 186-of-362 for

2,303 yards and 15 touchdowns. Sixkiller’s movie and TV credits are short but memorable. Burt Reynolds, who is one-eighth Cherokee, visited a UW practice in Sixkiller’s sophomore year. Two years later, he invited him to Georgia to be a part of “The Longest Yard” film. Sixkiller played a halfback on the inmate team that took on the guards. Later, he appeared as a boat captain in “Hawaii Five-O.” For more information about the tournament, call Bruce Skinner at 808-5758.

Early learning directory is available now

Parents and caregivers of young children interested in Early Learning may find an updated Early Learning Directory for Clallam County helpful in making informed choices for preschool-aged children. Prevention Works! A Community Coalition of Clallam County and Parenting Matters Foundation worked together to update the 2015 Directory with details of all known preschools and other programs for families with young children. Published first in 2009 and updated in 2011, the former Preschool Directory is now current for 2015 with contacts and important information so parents can make informed choices for their early learners. The two sponsoring organizations are pleased to make the directory available at www. preventionworkscc.org and firstteacher.org/ media/early-learning-directory. Included are locations, program contacts, philosophy, costs and other details for a thorough listing of early learning programs from Sequim to Port Angeles to the West End of Clallam County. While not endorsing or recommending any program, directory organizers say efforts were made to contact all known programs across the county and record details families need to consider when choosing learning settings for their children.

Learning about love Where does love come from? Do we learn about love and affection from watching our parents or is it maybe from just watching the movies? Are we born knowing about love? Is it something that comes with time and maturity and all of the sudden we know about it? It certainly is something most of us are interested in, but why? The way that we feel and convey love is not something we learn as adults, but a part of us at birth and then molded and shaped by experiences throughout our lives. The Committee on Integrating the Science of Early Childhood Development reported that children who do not establish secure attachments as infants often grow into adults who have difficulty understanding their own emotions as well as the feelings of others. Bonding with your child is more than merely taking care of your baby’s needs. We all focus on providing good meals, education, material needs, and around-the-clock care for our children but bonding is more than that. The best way to ensure a healthy emotional future for your little one is through the everyday nonverbal emotional exchanges. Babies don’t know what they need – they feel what they need – and communicate that in

some nonverbal way: crying, smiling, grunting, pointing, grabbing, or something similar. Your nonverbal response makes your child feel safe, secure, balanced and mostly – loved.

Sans words What do we mean by nonverbal communication? Here are four simple ways to create a strong and secure attachment: • Eye contact – Maintain eye contact with your child whenever you can. This makes her feel safe, relaxed, and happy. He will also become more comfortable as he grows older making eye contact with others. • Facial expression – Children often lack the emotional intelligence to convey the details of their emotions in words, so by simply mirroring their facial expression will make them feel understood. Follow that with a hug to comfort them and then slowly

‘Balance is key’

have to take care of your own need to get your hair done. It is easy to feel conflicted with how you spend your time when you have a child. But trying to balance your baby’s time and your everyday task time is tough. But balance is the key. Your baby is watching, paying attention and learning. Even if your child is well past his infant years, maintaining this emotional bond with him remains important. Do your best to have loving eye contact, mirrored facial expressions and a compassionate touch with each of your family members and watch how the depth of the connection will grow. Practice makes perfect, so the earlier that your children learn to decipher and respond to the nonverbal cues of their loved ones, the better equipped they will become at building healthy, emotionally attuned relationships and communicate more effectively as adults.

change your expression to one of relaxation and calm. Watch as your child’s face, temperament and demeanor follows your lead. • Touch – One of the most loving ways to bond with your baby while nursing is to maintain eye contact and stroke her face. This gentle touch is soothing and causes her to look to you for safety and comfort. Let your baby stroke your face as well. Even with your teen, take her arm or her hand and let her know you are there for her. • Undivided attention - Do your best to make exclusive time with your baby and give him all of your attention. A child never outgrows the need for undivided attention.

Club helping youths with summer ‘Brain Gain’ S Our young kinders could be found out on the playground picking up litter, and the teens went to Lake Crescent for a day in the sun and water. Our staff had birthdays and one — Ludah Rodes — gave birth to a future Club kid. The popular tennis camp kicked off Monday, engaging kids in fitness and sports activity. Keeping their brains sharp is important this summer and with an introduction to robotics via a Frisbee demonstration by Mike Becker. We hope the fun assembly will generate interest and participation in the weekly sessions (Tuesday and Thursday) of “Makers Camp.” Happy Little Chefs” got cooking Friday with the first session exploring culinary arts. Club members took to their kitchen and made a perfect Waldorf Salad.

Editor’s note: This is the first of a weekly series of activities happening at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula. For more information, see positiveplaceforkids.net or call 683-8095. — MD

Brain Gain Summer Bra in Ga in is comprised of interactive themed activities that brings elementar y and middle school students together, allowing these children to share their unique abilities with one another. This week, everyone participating in Brain Gain became inventors. Using their creative imaginations and problem-solving skills, these children invented new products that could solve an environmental or societal problem. With these supplies available to them (tin foil, cardboard, straws, cups, etc.), they were able to invent many new tools such as a lunchbox that cooks your food! It was particularly exciting when Thomas and Eli presented their invention, which was a model showing how Washington could transport water to Africa. Eli caught everyone’s attention when he said, “How can we live in a country with so much water and Africa has so little?” In addition to themed activities, Brain Gain also focuses on learning about different cultures through books as well as enhancing children’s math skills with fun number patterns. T his week ’s nu m b er pattern was particularly challenging: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21. Can you see the pattern?

Junior Rangers The Active Trails Program is a community engagement program designed to positively impact parks, partners and participants. The Olympic National Park was awarded funding to engage youth from the Sequim and Port Angeles Clubs in a series of recreational adventures in the park. Each week, the Junior Rangers go on a field trip led by park rangers. Last week, young boys and girls visited Rialto Beach hiked

three miles over sand, rock and driftwood to famous “Hole-in-the-Wall.” Along the way, members learned the importance of barnacles to the food chain, spotted a river otter and learned features to determine why it was a river otter and not a sea otter. They learned river otters fish in the sea and often eat on land unlike sea otters, which don’t come ashore. At Hole-in-the-Wall, Junior Rangers divided into three groups to study dif-

ferent tide pools. One boy noticed the presence of more seaweed in the lower tide pools. On the journey back to the club, members were treated to an ice cream at Granny’s Café — a favorite destination of most locals heading west.

In Sequim, we ser ve lunch from noon-1 p.m., not only at the Boys & Girls Club but at Elk Creek Apartment s, Mount ain View Court Apartments and at Carrie Blake Park. The last two years, the program not only won the USDA’s Western Region Sunshine Award for community involvement, but also received national recognition for the innovative model of using faith communities and civic organizations to help keep costs low. Children are enjoying the lunches served and continue to come out for tasty wraps, sandwiches, chicken legs a nd t his week a special barbecue at Mountain View Court.

Troop 1492, where he’s been since. With his father as Scoutmaster along the way, Cobb started accruing merit badges for various skills. Cobb’s final project, he says, started with a fairly small scope, then grew to large proportions — “They wanted me to build a lean-to roof and retaining wall,” Cobb says, “So I said, ‘Let’s tone it down’ — and finally into a freestanding structure. Cobb says he got plenty of help, from businesses Thomas Building Center, Sequim’s The Home Depot, Karl Allen Roofing and McCrorie’s Carpet, and individuals Rita Adragna, Debbie Crane, Hayden Crane, Julian Glavin, Dan Rigg, Tim Bittner, Bill Wheeler and Ron Markley. Key to the project, Cobb says, was Thomas Building Center. “They gave me pretty much everything (I needed),” Cobb says. The week of his 18th birthday, Cobb and company finished the project and, on May 28, presented it before the Eagle Board of Review, which bestowed the Eagle Scout rank upon the recent Sequim High graduate. In late August, Cobb is headed to Illinois to attend North Central

By the time Mikey Cobb approached his final days at Sequim High, he’d already amassed an estimated 85 merit badges. The longtime Boy Scout still hadn’t capped his Scouting career with the treasured Eagle Scout ranking. Mikey and his father, Scout leader Michael Cobb, figure he’d had enough merit badges to go for Eagle Scout by the time he was 12, but life got in the way. “It was mainly procrastination,” Mikey says, that kept him from the Eagle. In the waning days of late spring as his 18th birthday — and the Eagle Scout age cutoff — neared, Mikey Cobb got to work. It paid off in late May as the Troop 1492 Scout earned his Eagle Scout. His culminating project for the service project was a carpet-ball table for the Sequim Community Church that youth group members can use for a Bocce-like game. Mikey Cobb started with Scouts as a kindergarten student in Port Townsend and transferred to Pack 4490 until 2008, when he joined

Xin’s piece will join upwards of 150 other driftwood pieces from the club’s 70-plus members. Peetz said the show and club’s website receive a lot of interest internationally. A Nova Scotia man took classes after visiting the show and she has received inquiries for online classes and tutorials from others living internationally too, Peetz said.

A boutique at the Olympic Driftwood Sculptors show on July 17-19 features wall hangings, pendants, magnets and pictures frames made from driftwood to benefit college scholarships for students going into the arts.

The future of driftwood Online classes aren’t an option right now, but the club is beginning to post videos about different techniques and tools online. Peetz reminds people that they threw out the rule book when forming the club. She said they use power tools, insert rocks and metals and do much more with their pieces. “I believe in trying to keep doing

As tradition, the show features an array of quilts, including community quilts — a program providing quilts that go to people in need and/ or community groups. Show chairman Marilyn Reinarz said a lot of effort and thought goes into each community quilt.

“Not only does the club provide the community with outstanding quilts, but there’s a lot of giving to children and families in need,” Reinarz said. “These are quilts that are all designed and have a lot of effort put into them.”

“I quilt because I enjoy the process, working with textiles and gifting them to family and friends,” St. George said. “My greatest joy is when the recipient actually uses the quilts.” She began quilting in 1998 to make a baby quilt for her niece and later took a few quilt classes. St. George prefers machine piecing, machine applique and machine quilting. One of her many contributions to the club is help coordinate the club’s annual Quilt Challenge, which she’s done since 2009.

The photo was enlarged and a piece was given to each person without knowledge of the entire photo. The only requirements were that the artist receive a photo copy matching lines and colors. They were allowed to use any fiber technique and embellishment.

She said they received a lot of feedback from fans and are bringing in 12 quilts with interesting stories. “Volunteers will put the quilts on a bed, and people can sit down and listen to stories of the quilt, about the women who made them, maybe about the material, etc.,” Reinarz said. “Interesting stories come out of them.

HARVEY is a really cool little dog! He is friendly with people, OK with other dogs, and he actually LOVES cats! In his former home he would often snuggle with the cat. Harvey was adopted from us a few years ago, but had to be brought back because he became too protective of his home... Because of this, Harvey will REQUIRE a fenced yard to keep him safe. Harvey is currently attending a training program and will be available when he returns.

SULLIVAN is an active, friendly. He would be fine with other animals, and OK with older kids. Sullivan will need an active family to keep him busy. He walks OK on a leash, but needs some boundaries when it comes to house training. Now that he’s neutered that should be easier. Sullivan is attending a training/socialization program and will be available to go to a new home after he returns!
