Fe r g u s o n , a c companied by Mike Webb, legislative affairs director with the Attorney General’s Office, recently toured the Olympic FERGUSON Peninsula — including his 56th Rotary Club appearance in the past two years, visiting

clubs in Sequim and Port Angeles — on July 15 and 16. Before journeying back to the Seattle area, Ferguson and Webb highlighted a number of topics including local jurisdiction’s control of the sale of marijuana, upholding senior health care, predictions of fully funded basic education and Washingtonians’ role

in enforcing marriage equality. Ferguson explained his “job is to enforce Washington state law,” but issues centered on health care, marijuana, basic education and marriage equality are challenged at a state level and often set the scene locally.

He was employed for 20 years with the Washington State Department of Transportation in Port Angeles prior to working for the city. He has served as interim public works director since December 2014. “I am thrilled to take on this challenge,” Garlington said. “The Sequim region has been my home for 25 years and it is exciting to be a part of maintaining excellent public works service while helping the city move into the future.” Cont act Ritchie at 681-6610 or critchie@ sequimwa.gov for more information.

to sell and develop. Cameron Farm Drive, a private road on the west side of the property, sits on top of a 30-foot right of way for the city that eventually could be a connector between Hendrickson Road and Fir Street. City Senior Planner Charisse Deschenes said the earliest the city would begin talking about a potential connection would be 2021 when it’s planned in the city’s Transportation Improvement Plan. “There’s no proposal for connection at this point,” Deschenes said. “When there is development we’d have to address that issue.” Deschenes said plans would address connecting a larger segment from Hendrickson Road to Washington Street. If Cameron Farm Drive were connected and made public, it would need to be expanded to 60 feet wide. The property is zoned R-III multi-family residential in current city code and proposed in the city’s Comprehensive Plan update to possibly be rezoned as a senior lifestyle district allowing for 6-10 units per acre. While Cameron’s property sits as a grassy field, a portion of the annexation includes a home on 1.57 acres owned by Timothy and

Barbara Owens. Deschenes said after discussions about utility hookups with Timothy Owens, he didn’t contest the annexation. Since the Owens’ property is over 1 acre, they’d only be required to hookup to city utilities if their septic and well system were deemed unsafe and replaceable by Clallam County officials, Deschenes said. “We’re not recommending they hook onto the city now,” she said.

Opponents

Councilor Erik Erichsen was the lone vote against the annexation saying he wanted to defer a decision based on residents’ testimony. Some residents opposed the annexation because they felt the financial values of the parcels were incorrect and that Cameron, the financial majority property owner, shouldn’t have had the right to petition for annexation because he didn’t have a 60 percent majority ownership.

live in the county on big pieces of property with a ghetto right next door to them.” “I don’t support this at all,” he said. “We don’t have to defer to anyone. This is our city. Regardless of what the county or state says, unless it’s against the law and it ain’t against the law.” Fir Street resident Peggy Dawson said she opposed the annexation because of its potential impact on the neighborhood if the city builds the road through to Washington Street. “(It’s) going to bring a whole lot more traffic which is not the reason I bought it five years ago,” she said. Councilor Ken Hays approved the annexation but didn’t see value in it if the open space was going to remain taxed at an agricultural level because it won’t help much offset cost of roads and infrastructure. “If it comes in and stays agricultural for the next 10 years, what’s the point?” he asked. Ritchie said it’s likely the property will be developed. “We don’t look at actual use,” he said. “We look at potential use.” He added that the Owens’ property will see a slight difference between city and county taxes due to the county having a road tax and the city not. “It’s an insignificant difference,” he said.

FROM THE POLICE BLOTTER

Ferguson From page A-1 Health care Given people 65 years and older make up more than 40 percent of the age demographic in Sequim, compared to 12.3 percent statewide according to the 2010 United States Census, the enforcement of maintaining standards of senior health care and dealing with fraud is an everlasting concern to Ferguson. In collaboration with the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, Ferguson worked on a national case against Extendicare, one of the country’s largest long-term care providers. The 2014 settlement resulted in company officials and its subsidiary Progressive Step Corporation (Pro Step) agreeing to pay $38 million to the United States and eight states to resolve allegations that Extendicare billed Medicare and Medicaid for materially substandard nursing services. The Sequim-located Extendicare facility, Sequim Heath and Rehabilitation, was not among the facilities directly targeted in the case, but was impacted by court resolution. “The central issue to that case was about abuse and neglect spawned by chronic understaffing,” Webb said. “The resolution of that case led to higher staff levels.” Additionally, the recent conviction of Alfredo Tia with second-degree criminal mistreatment in King County Superior Court represents the first time the Attorney General’s Office has convicted a health care provider of felony-level criminal mistreatment. The case was investigated by the Attorney General’s Office Medicaid Fraud Control Unit given the victim’s care was paid for by Medicaid programs. “We’re not policy makers, but we make sure laws are upheld,” Ferguson said. To continue to try to protect the public against Medicaid fraud, Ferguson and Webb hope to get the “False Claims Act” more traction before it expires next July. The bill, which did get through the House, allows the Attorney General’s Office to “civilly go after Medicaid provider fraud, like over-billing,” Webb said. “If this bill expires, the state will lose significant resources to prevent fraud, so we’re pushing to reauthorize this program,” Webb said. “It’s one of our best tools to prevent Medicaid fraud.”

for qualifying medical marijuana patients and restructures the marijuana excise tax and allows for local flexibility with zoning buffers.

Basic education Lastly, Ferguson touched on basic education, tying the issue back to the McCleary decision, a lawsuit initiated by an employee with Sequim’s neighboring Chimacum School District. “The Supreme Court has said the state has until 2018 to adequately fund K-12 education,” Ferguson said. “That’s the deadline that’s been established.” In Sequim, the last two construction bonds proposed by Sequim School District that require a super majority have failed. Both bonds included funds to build new classrooms to accommodate upcoming state requirements, including the Washington Class Size Reduction Measure, Initiative 1351 approved in November 2014. The initiative requires fewer students per classroom in grades K-12. For K-3, each class was required to have no more than 15-17 students. In grades 4-12, each class was required to have no more than 22-25 students. “The issue of local taxes versus the state investment is one that the Legislature has grappled with in this session, but there’s not been an outcome,” Ferguson said. Within the $1.3 billion allocated by the Legislature for education, “they essentially fully funded K-3 class size reduction, and that is part of basic education,” Webb said. However, Webb notes, whether Initiative 1351 is basic education is not settled. “It’s not right before the court right now, but it might be,” he said. “There is the challenge of defining the line between the state’s duty and local folks who want to do more for their schools versus what is basic education and if it’s basic, then isn’t the state’s duty? Those are some questions that are being asked that are tied in with McCleary.” The court has asked the Attorney General’s Office to file on behalf of the state a report on the past legislative session and the investments into K-12 education, Ferguson said. “I think that’s due in the next 10 days,” he said. “We’ll have a hearing to see if the courts are satisfied with the state’s progress toward that milestone (fully funding basic education).”

Sequim schools preparing for all-day kindergarten The Sequim School District will offer all-day kindergarten this fall, following news that funding was confirmed by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction for both Helen Haller Elementary School and Greywolf Elementary School. The district is finalizing preparations over the summer to be ready for up to 180 kindergarten students for the 2015-2016 school year, up from 84 kindergartners in 2014-2015. The district has five kindergarten classrooms and expected the growth in enrollment to require

10 kindergarten classrooms, five at each elementary school. The district also has new kindergarten teachers. In order to be eligible for kindergarten in September, children must be 5 years old on or before Aug. 31. Find an enrollment packet on the district’s website at www.sequim. k12.wa.us by clicking on “Our District” and then “EnrollmentRegistration Information.” Registration may be completed over the summer at the district office, 503 N. Sequim Ave. The district office is open from 8 a.m.-noon and

1-3 p.m. Monday-Friday throughout the summer break. Required immunization information and a Kindergarten Transportation Form also are available at this site.

Fir St., for resources and activities geared toward preparing families for the school year. The first day of the 2015-2016 school year for grades 1-12 is Sept. 1. Kindergarten conferences are held on Sept. 1-3 (your child’s school will contact you regarding the date and time for kindergarten conferences). The first day of kindergarten is Sept. 4.

start and end school 20 minutes later. Because the discussion of a different daily schedule surfaced a couple of weeks before the end of the school year, Walsh said, there wasn’t really enough time to thoroughly review the change. “We need more time to talk with all the stakeholders,” she said. “A 20minute difference at the beginning of the day and end doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it has a lot of implications that need to be considered.” Shortly following the board’s discussion of a possible scheduling change, district officials received a “panic call” from personnel with Aspire Academy because of scheduling conflicts, which Walsh gave as an example of some of the organizations potentially impacted. Another issue that arose from the possible restructure is a likely conflict with students’ sports schedules during away games. Already, Walsh said, students often have to leave their last period early to depart for away sports games, so if students are released 20 minutes later than before, they would miss nearly their entire class. District officials will be gathering feedback from teachers, unions, parents and bus drivers to better understand the impacts of a possible change in the future. To evaluate alternatives for the 2016-2017 school year, Gary Neal, interim superintendent for Sequim School District, and his colleagues plan to review and study the different options and time configurations that both meet start requirements and allow time for professional development, Horan said. “We need to take several weeks to really review this and decide on something in early winter so people know and can be prepared before registration,” Walsh said.

The Baja is back Opening follows one year recovery from fire

More than a year after their previous restaurant was destroyed in an electrical fire, owners of Baja Cantina, José and Martha Acosta, are beginning to settle into their new location at the base of the iconic grain elevator along Washington Street. Sequim Gazette photo by Alana Linderoth

continue.” The Acostas have been able to replace most of the equipment lost to the fire, but adjusting to a larger space is something that’s taking some time. “We really like it here,” Martha said. “It’s a good location, but we’re still figuring out what to do with all the space.” The layout of the building is a work in progress, but the menu underwent only slight modifications, Martha said. Preparing, cooking and serving quality food is second nature to José given he’s devoted his career to it; thus, all the original Baja Cantina favorites remain and everything is made fresh. Once fully settled into their new space, Martha is excited to incorporate hand-made tortillas back into the menu. However, the Acostas are moving ahead one step at a time as they work to rebuild a good foundation for the restaurant. “It takes a lot of time,” Martha said. “It can be hard

More than a year ago, a typical Monday in May took a turn for the worst, spiraling one local family into a long road to recovery. Martha Acosta, who coowns the Mexican eatery Baja Cantina along with her husband José, was hand-making tortillas in their restaurant when her son Andres told her he smelled smoke. Martha went next door to the neighboring Sequim Consignment Co., and noticed smoke hovering along the ceiling. It was within hours that despite more than 2 million gallons of water used by firefighters, an electrical fire had spread through the entirety of the attic and took both businesses. “Watching the restaurant burn down was devastating – I can still picture it,” Martha said. “It was our livelihood.” Returning home that Monday night, Martha said she and her husband had no idea what they were going to do. Not only did the restaurant support their family, but also the families of their many her youngest (6-year-old) employees, including some son in a big city, so the famcousins and extended family. ily opted to try to stay in “A lot of people were out of Sequim — the place they’ve called home since 1999. work,” she said. Although Martha, as a certified nursing assistant, Starting anew After months of worry, could continue to work, for her husband, finding work hard work and dedication toward piecing their life back proved challenging. “In Sequim, I think it can together, the option to rent the location of the be especially former El Cazador difficult for Baja Cantina H i s p a n i c Hours: 10 a.m.-10 p.m. restaurant became a reality for the p e o ple to Where: 531 W.

What’s new at the market is the story of a vendor who began her sales almost 30 years ago. Though it may be more true to say that Ruthann Toney of Pacific Northwest Naturals truly began her career as a vendor when she was a small child who loved to set up and play store. “Now I get to do that every Saturday at the What’s market,” she said. Ruthann started out selling cut New flower bouquets and perennial plants at the in the parking lot of the Sequim Market? Catholic church back in 1985 at what was called “Sequim’s Original FarmLisa Bridge ers Market” which was an “early bird market” as it was open from 6-9 a.m. Ruthann would participate in the market before heading to her day job at a craft store. She had taken a Master Gardener course and was hooked on growing. She started to learn propagation, which she said, “opened a cornucopia of plant fun!” She moved over to the Open Aire Market in 2000, when her new boss would give her Saturdays off. Since she joined, Ruthann Sequim Farmers has contributed much more Market than her Saturdays to making July 25, Aug. 1 our market succeed. She spent seven years on the board and Open Saturdays 9 a.m.-3 contributed to the efforts of p.m. through October many market committees. We Downtown Sequim at also have her to thank for our Sequim Avenue and iconic flags — she was both the Washington Street inspiration and the seamstress Contacts: www.sequimfor the first set of flags waving market.com; manager@ sequimmarket.com; on the market booths. With a passion for plants, she 460-2668 grows a variety of perennials and succulents that she sells as plants for your garden. She also has dried flowers, including beautiful bundles of lavender. Her booth is eclectic, expressing her passion for nature. She has sold rocks, fossils, sea shells and other sorts of natural items. She says, “All of this is a passion gone amok!” Her most recent additions to the booth are her handmade Slinkyware jewelry, which is made of wire that she winds and transforms into jewelry. “Each piece is an original unique design,” she noted, some of which have stones set along with them. She also has “Cozy Legs” and “Cozy Arms” which are repurposed sweaters made into leg warmers and arm warmers. Finally, she has the product of the hour, lavender! Ruthann has been growing lavender and making lavender products since she came to Sequim. She has bundles of lavender, sachets, little pillows and wands. When I asked what she likes about the market, she tells me, “I love everything about the market, I love the people, being outdoors, being at the market is my favorite way to vend.” The live music on Saturdays from 11 a.m.-2-p.m., on July 25 will be the amazing Sequimarimba and on Aug. 1 the fabulous Cat’s Meow Jazz Band.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Tribe urges vote for Proposition 1

On behalf of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, I urge voters to Vote Yes on Proposition 1 – the measure that will ensure SARC remains a viable and integral part of our community. Investing in our community is not a new concept to our Tribe, as evidenced by the Jamestown Family Health Clinic, 7 Cedars Casino and Longhouse Market and The Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course. We always have supported efforts to help make our community strong, healthy and self-reliant. By voting Yes on Prop. 1, it will keep SARC open for the public regardless of income status, and will continue to provide exercise, swimming and recreational facilities for the community that are not available in the Dungeness Valley. There are many priorities in life, but none is more important than a public facility providing a healthy environment particularly with the swimming pool option. I and our Tribe truly believe that we need to support this public service. I urge you and hope your family and friends will join me by voting for the SARC Metropolitan Park District and continue the tradition and proud legacy that the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe has invested in our community. W. Ron Allen Blyn Allen is Chair/CEO Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe.

Not against SARC, but MPD As citizens of Sequim, we are not against SARC, but as taxpayers, we are against the MPD. For several years, SARC has not been managed effectively, resulting in a deficit of $260,000 in 2014, and an even higher projected deficit in 2015. While revenue has dropped by 15 percent in the past seven years, expenses have risen by 47 percent. With this history of poor resource utilization, the current SARC management is coming “hat in hand” to ask for a taxpayer bailout without any information as to how they will properly use the resources they have, or how they will use the additional tax funds. In the business world, we call this a business plan. With SARC approaching a $300,000 deficit in 2015 and deferred maintenance expenses of over $1 million, we do not see the SARC board members keeping the tax rate at 12 cents/$1,000 (assessed valuation). During a recent public meeting, most of the SARC board candidates pledged to keep the lowest tax rate. But with the level of current and future debt issues, this will be a “pipe dream.” SARC is now just another government entity coming to already heavily burdened taxpayers for money without an effective plan as to how they are going to use the funds they have, or how they will use the additional funds gained through the MPD. SARC needs to become frugal. Use volunteers to lower the excessive payroll burden, review the member rate structure to ensure that people who use facilities pay for them (pool), partner with local businesses, and OMC and the tribes, and finally develop a solid business plan to take SARC forward without using public funds. Bob and Carole Travis Sequim

SARC a happy place

Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center is full of happy and fun people of all ages. Sure the exercise is good for you and there are plenty of exercise choices there but it’s the friendships you form that will keep you coming back. Give SARC a try and you might find it becoming a regular part of your life, too. Please vote yes on Prop. 1 and save SARC for all of Sequim and the surrounding areas. Janet Hull Sequim

Opinion SEQUIM GAZETTE

Compare and contrast

Sunday’s (July 12) League of Women Voters county commissioner candidate forum provided a good contrast for voters to consider. Answers from Democrats Mark Ozias and Brian Frazier are what one would expect from liberal challengers trying to unseat Republican incumbent Jim McEntire, who has proven leadership and a successful track record. Ozias and Frazier are antigrowth as they both would impose a moratorium on building in the Sequim area. Commissioner McEntire is pro-growth and opposes a moratorium because it’s drastic and unwarranted. Ozias and Frazier are anti-growth again as they would delay the dispersal of Opportunity Funds to create family wage jobs. Commissioner McEntire and his peers on the Board of County Commissioners transparently and legally authorized funds to be used to grow the economy. Earning no-growth bonus points, Frazier rejects the long ago debated and won Carlsborg designation as an Urban Growth Area. McEntire supports the UGA designation and is working to make it easier for businesses in Carlsborg to expand. Regarding the county’s failed 25-year experiment to control county roadside weeds without herbicides, Ozias doesn’t like herbicides and Frazier says no to all herbicides. McEntire supports herbicide use because it’s safe, gets results and is cost effective. Oh, and Ozias said he’d never take money from contributors who are outside the county, yet he’s accepted $650 from people in Mountlake Terrace, Bellevue and California. He’s also a climate alarmist.

SARC closure would hurt community

To all the naysayers out there who are not supportive of Proposition 1, the SARC MPD measure, you are missing the boat entirely. More than likely, you moved to the Sequim-Dungeness Valley within the past 10 years and you moved to this location because of the great amenities the community has to offer, including a wonderful climate, good health care options, an affordable cost of living and all the services that one would expect to have in a growing and thriving community. You even have a multi-million dollar new city hall in Sequim! Your unwillingness to support one of Sequim’s greatest assets (for pennies a day) seems smallminded and self-serving. What do you suppose would happen to all the thousands of residents if SARC were to close? Many, including my motherin-law, would have to move away because the water aerobics classes would not exist. What do you imagine the economic impact would be to our community? Senior citizens, like my mother-in-law, would not be there to spend their money in the community — that goes for restaurants, grocery stores, espresso stands and the drug stores, to name just a few. The youth and small children would have no place to learn to swim or practice with the swim team, or even to play basketball. Please give it a more than a moment’s thought before you mark your ballot and think about the greater good the SARC pool and recreation facility provides to our community. Please vote Yes for Prop. 1. Bill Biery Quilcene

Noxious weeds … Me? You? Them? and I had about our future and our blunder of faith. But it was a difficult time and I have never forgotten the lesson of mistaken identity as a noxious weed.

Mistaken noxious weed identity

Think About It ... Bertha Cooper The first time I heard the term “noxious weed” was the summer we moved to Sequim from Seattle. I had accepted a position at the local hospital. My love of words and their meaning drew me into learning more about “noxious weeds” — after all, I thought all weeds were noxious. As it turned out, the newly built home we bought was surrounded by a landscape of noxious weeds, thistle being the most prevalent noxious bloom on the pile of rocks and sand that made up our yard. We made our first trip to the Clallam County Fair that summer and the noxious weed booth was one of our stops where I learned that plants, grasses, trees or weeds can be termed “noxious weeds.” The key distinguishing feature of a noxious weed is that it is non-native and invasive to the extent that it threatens agricultural crops, local ecosystems or fish and wildlife habitat. The problem, big enough for Washington State to have its own noxious weed control board, is still prevalent 17 years later. Just last weekend at a candidate forum for county commissioner position/District #1, I heard noxious weed control questions posed from very concerned citizens.

A personal noxious weed story I was reminded of my meanderings about the term “noxious weeds” when I first arrived on the peninsula. I was coming into a position that promised me the chance to fulfill a career mission of helping to design a system of coordination across the settings that serve the typical Medicare patient – hospital for acute care, skilled nursing facility for continued medical management and rehabilitation and home care with home health to complete the care cycle. I had been waiting for an opportunity like this and accepted the position at first part time so I could unwind my consulting business. Everything went well; our Seattle home sold quickly and we found a home in Sequim that we liked. Seemed like fate … until … Less than a month after we arrived, the hospital board was voting to defund my position and the almost daily newspaper was running stories about my employment on the front page above the fold. Even though the vote failed and my position remained funded, the message was pretty clear, especially when the administrator who hired me was soon gone taking the vision of coordinated services with him. It was at this moment I begin to identify with the plight of noxious weeds and other entities or beings not readily accepted into a community. It was strangely comforting to have a context for the rejection I was experiencing. Now, years later, I’m a long way and time from the unease that my husband

In frankness, I must tell you it was not the first nor the last time I have been in the push-pull forces of change, just the most personally dramatic and public. A lot of my work has to do with change — the system, the program or the order of things, although always with a team of people, never by myself. Change is difficult and often fearful. We are going through huge transitions in our culture, not the least of which is the change of work and skills needed to respond to technological advancement. Our democratic system seems unable to respond in a less political and more proactive way. Much too often, either side of an argument points to an individual, group or ideology as the “noxious weed” that is invading our communities intent on the destruction of everything we have come to know as the way life should be. “Class A noxious weeds are usually newcomers. They are often found in few places … and local boards hope to completely eradicate them before they get a foothold …” (WA Noxious Weed Control Board.) Among other things, doesn’t it make you think of certain responses to immigrants, legal or otherwise? Is there a group who came to this country without experiencing some kind of discrimination (I can think of one)? I am the daughter of an immigrant and remember how hard my father tried to reduce his Norwegian accent, to no avail but he tried. Currently a Presidential candidate is giving voice to people’s fears about being invaded by a foreign group. He warns of men being killed and women being raped. I have no doubt that rapists and murderers are the worst kind of human noxious weed, including those already growing in our country, but I mistrust the motives behind preaching fear. Come to think about it, I could as easily say that the ones that broadcast fear and hate seeds about anyone or thing different are the purveyors of invasive human thought intended to destroy or control others. Fortunately, some purveyors are just annoying like a common weed but some are insidiously invasive and never quite leave our senses like the thistle still trying to make it in our yard. Until we get this figured out, I will join the fight to control true noxious weeds, although I must admit that I often don’t know the difference and rue the days I pulled up a native plant thinking it was an unwelcome weed. On a larger more human scale, we would do well to avoid cases of mistaken noxious identity of new friends by remembering the Washington State Weed Control Board statement. “Only a very small fraction of nonnative plants become invasive.” Offhand, I can think of one that did.

LUCK OF THE DRAW

“Hey Megan, wouldn’t you know it, my teeth need cleaning and now my tooth broke. I couldn’t afford to fix things before, so now what do I do? I guess I’ll win the lottery.” Sounds like a recipe for disaster doesn’t it? We should never leave our dental and medical health and treatment to chance. With some planning we can help most people keep their teeth for a lifetime. We just need to keep pace with your needs. Then we would hear “Hey Megan, at my regular teeth cleaning I learned that I need a filling.

SARC measure is worthy of our support

We have many wonderful things to celebrate here from being surrounded with natural beauty to a growing and thriving health care industry, and many folks who are working hard every day to improve the lives of others who may need a helping hand. These are the ingredients that make our community special and unlike any other in Washington State. That’s also why I am voting yes for Proposition 1 – the SARC Metropolitan Park District measure on our Primary Election ballot.

I believe there are four essential components that every thriving community must have available to all its residents regardless of age, gender and ability. We must support public schools, public transportation, a public library and a public swimming pool and recreation center to ensure Sequim remains a healthy and vibrant place to live. If even one of these essential anchors of our community is lost we aren’t serving everyone who lives here.

Regarding Steve Burkett’s July 8 column (Sequim Gazette, “Why I’m voting no on the SARC proposition,” page A-13): There he goes again, flogging SARC for its audacity in attempting to form a Metropolitan Park District (MPD), a measure now on the Aug. 4 ballot. Who? Excity manager Steve Burkett, who has coveted one of those MPDs — and also the SARC pool. His July 8 column in the Gazette is a rehash of his April 15 Gazette column (page A-10). He again sets down some scary sounding stuff to in-

Burkett has skewed perspective

For the MPD

A few decades ago bold, visionary voters created SARC, the taxpayer funded Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center. Since that time SARC has served the community well. I support the creation of the Metropolitan Park District that will ensure the continuation of this valuable asset. Using Washington’s Initiative process, the Metropolitan Park District ballot measure is placed in the Aug. 4 election by local voters who live within the district boundaries, the Clallam County portion of the Sequim School District. This process represents the best of local voter control. Hopefully, a majority of local voters in this area will favor continuing this valuable facility. Knowing that the proposed levy of 12 cents per $1,000 of assessed home value is the proposed funding, 12 candidates have signed up to be elected as one of five commissioners. I view SARC as a treasure that many communities would like to have. As I participate to maintain my health within the aerobic/ weight lifting areas, I see youngsters learning to swim, the school swim teams both at practice and hosting invitational meets, people taking advantage of the contract with Olympic Medical Center to receive physical rehabilitation exercises and adults enrolled in aquarobics, yoga, Pilates, Tai-Chi and Zumba exercises. It’s hard to envision our community without this multi-use facility, without

youth swimming lessons in East Clallam County, school swim team practices, invitational meets and health maintenance activities for seniors. Please support the Metropolitan Park District formation! Frank Figg Sequim

Editor’s note: We asked Jim McEntire for a clarification regarding his quote. Below is his response. — MD

fluence voters to say, “no” on Aug. 4 as though newly elected SARC MPD commissioners would automatically operate without restraint. He cites MPD powers from state law RCW 35-61: “ability to levy up to 75 cents per thousand; incur debt through bonds and loans; condemn and acquire private properties through eminent domain.” He writes, “Are all these powers really necessary just to keep the current pool open?” Do you remember back in March when Burkett set the city council on track to form an MPD of their own as soon as 2016, one that would have, by law, the very same powers he cites as being dangerous in SARC’s hands? And check out the “white paper” Burkett’s assistant prepared to justify the city’s MPD-related Resolution 2015-3. On page 4 is a pros-and-cons chart of reasons to support Burkett’s resolution: “Ha s the potential to establish two regular property tax levies,” “Provides greater and more secure funding,” “Higher maximum levy rate of up to $.75 per $1,000 AV (vs. $60), and, finally, “Ability to levy permanently.” And taxpayers are supposed to be spooked by a SARC MPD that has committed on the ballot to a levy of 12 cents per $1,000? Some of Burkett’s word choices raise questions regarding how much he really knows about the broad scope and variety of SARC’s program and its operations. How often has he been at the facility to see the program or talk to the director? In any event, he’s run through a series appellations to describe SARC in print or in speech: pool and health club (think ritzy place and elite members); pool and athletic activities; pool and equipment; pool and exercise equipment; pool and recreation center; swimming pool and health club; and just plain The Pool.

rehabilitation programs. Many doctors in the area recommend SARC’s pool for recovery patients with various ailments. If the Proposition 1 tax district is not passed in August, SARC’s doors will be shuttered and Sequim will lose a valuable asset to the community. Another objection I am hearing around town is that the elected board for this tax district cannot be trusted to keep the tax to 12 cents per $1,000 assessed value of homes. Much of this stems from a basic distrust of politicians in general who really do not have the public’s best interests at heart. Mike McAleer, Rich Bemm, Virginia O’Neil, Ken Stringer and Warren Pierce have pledged to keep the tax assessment to 12 cents per $1,000 unless a public vote supports an increase, and have pledged not to take any compensation for their work on the board. They are trustworthy individuals and can be taken at their word. Please pass Proposition 1. Our community needs this facility. Carole Neidhardt Sequim

Bruce Garr Oldfield September 23, 1923 - July 4, 2015

SARC burden is with taxpayers I am against the Aug. 4 ballot measure Proposition 1 to create a SARC Metro Park District for the following reasons: On June 25, Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center, SARC announced (by e-mail) an endorsement by the Board of Commissioners of Olympic Medical Center (Resolution No. 486) for the formation of the SARC Metro Park District. In the OMC resolution, mention is made of maintaining good health and having a facility that promotes a healthy lifestyle, etc. However, it also states that SARC has relied on insufficient user fees causing a depletion in reserve funds and now it needs repairs and replacements in order to remain in operation. With its endorsement, OMC declared its support for this ballot measure. What does this mean? Did OMC commit to join SARC after all in order to utilize the swim-

ming pools as a rehabilitation facility for patients? It is well recognized that much renovation would be needed to accommodate medical requirements. Earlier in the year, I read that after preliminary negotiations, OMC demanded SARC get its finances under control before further plans to utilize their facility would be considered. Realistically, with the extensive construction of new hospital facilities in Port Angeles, OMC has more than likely put any plans with SARC on a back burner. In any case, with or without OMC, the burden of financial support to operate this business over the years will remain with us, the taxpayers. Maria Newman Sequim

SARC proposal a winner

Proposition 1 — to form a SARC Metropolitan Park District is a winner because it will allow SARC the ability to grow its programs and potentially provide an avenue for Olympic Medical Center to expand services for our Sequim patients who require cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation and other doctor-

Beverly Ann Fuller June 17, 1929 ~ July 4, 2015

Beverly Ann Fuller passed away at her home in Silverdale on July 4, 2015, of natural causes. Beverly was born in Seaside, Oregon on June 17, 1929 to Henry and F. Edna Hill and spent her early years there. She graduated from Seaside High School as Valedictorian of her class and then attended University of Oregon on a scholarship. After a year she returned to Seaside to marry Donald Fuller. Later in life she returned to college to complete her AA degree. Don lived with his aunt and uncle in Seaside to resume his high school education after an honorable discharge from the Navy. They met and fell in love in study hall. They celebrated their 50th anniversary shortly before Don passed away. His work took them from Texas to California to ultimately Port Angeles, Washington where they lived for 35 years. After his retirement they spent winters in Arizona. Beverly was a stay at home mother when the children were young. She was Parent Council member for PTA, YMCA auxillary circle member, Girl Scout leader, and Sunday school teacher. She later worked outside the home as Elementary school aide and then as a retail Sales clerk. She enjoyed time at Lake Crescent with friends and enjoyed various clubs: Scrabble, Bridge, Hiking, Cribbage, and Pinochle. Beverly was a member of the United Methodist church in Port Angeles since the 1960’s and a 49 year member of P.E.O. (Philanthropic Educational Organization) Sisterhood, Chapter FM. Beverly’s warm heart and loving spirit were treasured by her family and friends. She was quick to extend dinner invitations and loved to share her baking creations. We’ll miss her cookies! Beverly was preceded in death by her husband, Donald R. Fuller. She is survived by a brother Donald (Joan) Hill; three daughters, Donna (Bob) Levin, Marian Fuller (Brian Harrell), and Janice (Rich) Shaughnessy; four grandchildren, Richard (JoAnna) Shaughnessy, Hillary (Dan) McGuire, Julie Zierold, and Sarah (Skye) Lyons; six great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Friends and family are invited to Beverly’s celebration of life service on August 2, 2015, 2:00 P.M. at Peninsula Bible Fellowship, 9590 Radcliff Ave. N.E. Bremerton, WA, (360)692-6549. Memorial contributions in memory of Beverly Fuller can be made to: The National MS Society, Greater Northwest Chapter 800-344-4867 or MSnorthwest@nmss.org.

ordered therapies. However, make no mistake about it, Olympic Medical Center is not going to come to the rescue and bail out SARC should Proposition 1 fail. SARC will close if Proposition 1 doesn’t pass on Aug. 4 and OMC will have to go back to the drawing board and find another way to expand our services into the Sequim community. The OMC board endorsed Proposition 1 because we believe that SARC is a critical facility for the health and wellness of our community and because health care reform is moving the focus of health care to wellness, prevention and chronic disease management and SARC fits the bill. The passage of Proposition 1 will give SARC the financial stability needed to continue our discussions to expand Olympic Medical Center’s plans to create more comprehensive ser vices for our community. Please support our community by voting Yes on Proposition 1. Tom Oblak Sequim Oblak is OMC board president.

SARC MPD candidates who will hold line

SARC has put on the August ballot Proposition 1 which is an attempt to establish a Metropolitan Park District to raise approximately $400,000 to help fund operations via a tax levy of 12 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. It is important to note that there is no similar facility in the U.S. which operates without some public support. We believe that SARC is an important asset to our community. Having said that, we also believe that the Metropolitan Park District — MPD — should have very specific goals for SARC and also be fiscally conservative. The five candidates listed here — Position 1, Warren Pierce; Position 2, Ken Stringer; Position 3, Virginia O’Neil; Position 4, Richard Bemm; Position 5, Mike McAleer — are committed to holding the line at 12 cents per $1,000 of assessed value and will not ask for more without going to the public for a vote. An MPD board can assess as much as 75 cents without voter approval so electing the right board members is critical. There has been some public discussion that the MPD should support other activities such as pickleball and some of the other eight candidates would like to consider that. Mike McAleer said that he and the other four candidates listed above believe that properly running and funding SARC is their first priority and should the community want to pay for additional services in the future, they will be given that opportunity via a vote. Bill and Shelle Paulbitski Sequim

Support SARC with memberships, not with a levy

I see the same pattern here. The uninformed voters approve a project and then realize they cannot sustain it financially. Then they vote down the subsequent operation levy. The operators then have to connive for other sources of revenue. Hence, the collectivist approach for the “common good.” I read the commentary from those who use, need, want or work for SARC. The common theme is property tax collection from all to support a few. This “club” should be operated with membership dues and user fees. If that pro SARC ad is correct, the dues and fees for the 225,000 users would be minimal. Do the math. Besides, the last thing you want to do is create another politburo. We have enough drama with the county commissioners. Ron McPherson Sequim

SARC MPD is a good deal The Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center will close in 2016 if we do not pass Proposition 1: a SARC metropolitan park district. The importance of having such a fine facility in our community reaches beyond the discussion of who uses it and who doesn’t. As with the library, fire department and hospital we should all support SARC not only because it increases our property values, but also for other often overlooked benefits to the greater community such as attracting professionals with their families in the areas of health care and education to relocate here. Wouldn’t you want to have access to good medical care and good education opportunities? We must keep in mind there are many components that go into maintaining a healthy vibrant community for all and SARC is one of them. For our youth it provides employment opportunities, a place to gather with friends, for the elderly it can also be a social gathering place or a place to rehabilitate from a medical problem, for the disabled a place to exercise, and for families a place to recreate together. SARC provides all in our community a chance to learn how to swim. With the abundance of water activities in our area swimming is a good skill to have, and the number of drownings in the headlines this summer point this out. For 12 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation SARC is a good deal! Please join me in maintaining the fine community that we live in and vote YES for Proposition 1 on Aug. 4.

Bruce Garr Oldfield died on July 4, 2015 at the age of 91. An avid fisherman throughout his life, he passed away in his sleep in a small plane over Alaska, returning from a fishing expedition with his family. Bruce was born in Portland, Oregon to Carl Oldfield and Ida Oldfield on September 23, 1923 and grew up in nearby Milwaukie. He earned a B.A. in Physics from Reed College. After college, he began work at the U.S. Naval Ordnance Test Station in China Lake, California. The Navy soon sent him to one of the first graduate programs in computing at Harvard University, where he received his Master’s degree. Bruce’s computing career continued with the Navy and then with IBM. At IBM, he held a wide variety of positions. As Vice President of IBM’s Federal Systems Division, he was intimately involved with the computing aspects of the early space program. He led a project to develop the computer system for NHK, Japan’s national broadcasting service. He ended his IBM career as Director of the Systems Engineering Division of IBM Europe. In his retirement, he bought and, with his son David, managed a cherry orchard in Mattawa, Washington. After time living in California, Virginia, Maryland, New York, Japan, France, and Eastern Washington, Bruce and his beloved wife Martha settled in Sequim in 1989. There he tended his garden and was a regular at the Sunland golf course and the Sequim Elks club. He and his wife Martha were avid bridge players, both achieving Life Master status. Bruce married Ethel Silberberg in June 1949. After that marriage ended in divorce, he married Martha Kenyon in 1958. He is preceded in death by his first wife, Ethel and his brother George. He is survived by his wife Martha Oldfield; his five children Carl Oldfield of Brownsville, Texas, Helen Goldberg of Merritt Island, Florida, David Oldfield of Coquille, Oregon, Duane Oldfield of Galesburg, Illinois, and Laurie Reffitt of Castro Valley, California; and five grandchildren. Bruce will be remembered for his larger than life personality and his determination to live life to its fullest. A memorial service will be held on July 24, 2015 from 2-4:00 P.M. at the Sequim Elks Lodge, 143 Port Williams Road, Sequim, WA. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Trout Unlimited http://www.tu.org/ or to a charity of the giver’s choice.

Ballet opens on Civic Center’s front steps BY ALANA LINDEROTH

Sequim Ballet’s free show “Peter and the Wolf”

Sequim Gazette

The story of “Peter and the Wolf,” a composition written by Sergei Prokofiev in 1936, is to come alive through Sequim Ballet. The script, narrated by Boris Karloff, is the City Arts Advisory Commission’s premier show at the newly opened Sequim Civic Center Plaza. The ballet is “campy, fun and a little dramatic,” Laurel Herrera, director and owner of Sequim Ballet, said. “We’re not trying to appeal to the elite ballet critics, but to a normal crowd,” she said. “I think people will be amazed.” In a slightly tweaked version to include more characters, such as a “Flower Queen,” dancers with Sequim Ballet will retell the original musical tale of Peter, a defiant young boy, and a group of creatures conspiring to capture the Wolf. Not only will the 30-minute ballet be the first to entertain at the plaza, but for many of the dancers, it’s their first time performing outdoors. To transform the concrete venue into a more conducive dance space, Herrera is bringing in a floor, but with fewer props, she anticipates both the dancers and the audience to use a bit more imagination. “We’re not sure what to expect,” Herrera said. “So far, I think it’s all coming together.” Adjusting to an outdoor venue has its challenges, but fortunately for many of the ballet

Herrera opened her studio in Carlsborg about five years ago to pursue her passion for “passing on a dying art,” she said. Under her instruction, students of Sequim Ballet learn Cecchetti, a classical Italian method of ballet. For students truly aspiring to become ballet dancers, Herrera said, “they have to be willing to give up other things.” Performances are planned sometimes a year in advance and in the three months leading to a show, the students are solely focused on practicing. “It’s challenging and can be stressful,” she said. “But, it’s also a lot of fun and rewarding.” Herrera is hopeful “Peter and the Wolf,” as the inaugural performance of the Civic Center Plaza, will expose the community to ballet and show how it’s both “fun to do and watch.”

A good story

Sequim Gazette staff

Some years back Bunnell shopped a pig war script around Hollywood, thinking it would make a nice movie. One studio expressed interest in the project, but Bunnell and the execs didn’t see eye to eye. Eventually, he withdrew it. Then in 2012, Bunnell signed the paperwork establishing a new publishing company, Skookum Bay Publishing. To work out the first-time kinks, he decided to publish one of his own books first. That’s when he came up with the idea of “novelizing” his Lyman Cutler screenplay. In fact Bunnell takes considerable pride in having retained many of the elements of a screenplay. It works, moving along at a spritely pace. And it has the requisite romances in play. But it’s more than a screenplay — Bunnell is a master of descriptive prose, from Strait of Juan de Fuca fog banks to native Northwestern rose banks.

As part of the 100th anniversary celebration, the Dungeness River Audubon Center and Wind Rose Cellars announce the release of Railroad Bridge Red wine. Wind Rose Cellars hosts a release party from 3-5 p.m. Sunday, July 26, at its tasting room, 143 W. Washington St., Sequim. Wind Rose will donate a percentage of bottle sales proceeds to the river center. Bottles of Railroad Bridge Red will be available for purchase at Wind Rose Cellars and other local businesses. “Drop in for a complimentary taste of the new wine and enjoy some appetizers as we raise a glass to one of Sequim’s icon landmarks,” winemaker David Volmut said. “The Dungeness Railroad Bridge has played an integral role in our community’s growth and history since the first train rolled across it in 1915,” said Powell Jones, executive director of the Dungeness River Audubon Center in Railroad Bridge Park. Anniversary festivities also take place Sept. 25-26 during this year’s Dungeness River Festival in Railroad Bridge Park, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road, in Sequim. River Festival exhibitors will show and celebrate many other aspects of local history and life. A ceremony and celebration to unveil a plaque commemorating the bridge’s 100 years and its inclusion

For the Gazette

Forty years ago, give or take, Michael Bunnell had what he thought was a pretty good idea for a novel. Bunnell, who spent some time on San Juan Island as a youth, was fascinated by the story of “The Pig War,” the momentary conflict between American and Canadian BUNNELL settlers on the island that almost led to war between two of the world’s great military powers. And yes, it arose over a pig. The story indeed has everything. Hard-headed hawks, last-minute dramatics and, of course, comic possibilities out the wazoo. But then life got in the way, which was likely a good thing. Bunnell has spent a lifetime refining his writing skills, beginning with a stint as a reporter for the student newspaper at Yakima Valley College. That led to a further position as a columnist at the local weekly, the Yakima Sun, a column he wrote about the college experience. That was sweetly ironic. “I was too busy to actually sample college life,” he says with a smile. Fortunately, that column also led to bigger and better things, including a job at the sports desk at the weekly. He enjoyed radio, too, beginning in high school as a volunteer news reader at a tiny local station. While in college he had a job as a disc jockey at a “grubby little FM radio station,” where they played the kind of music the big boys couldn’t because “it would have offended the sponsors.” Since then, he says, he has been a columnist, a freelancer and even a stringer for the wire services. And now, with “The Friendly Little War of Lyman Cutler,” he’s finally a novelist.

A little history Cutler was a prospector — an unsuccessful one — who was captured by the siren call of the Fraser River Gold Rush. When that proved a bust, he moved to San Juan Island where he decided to try his hand at farming. At the time, the ownership of the island was in dispute, with both Great Britain and the U.S. coveting the property. In 1859, Cutler sailed to Dungeness and bought some seed potatoes, then returned to San Juan Island where he planted a meager crop on land that was, unbeknownst to him, claimed by the Hudson’s Bay Company. Difficulties arose when a company pig decided to

Sequim author Michael Bunnell will be reading from “The Friendly Little War of Lyman Cutler” as featured writer during the Fourth Friday Reading Series on Friday, July 24. The event, sponsored by Writers on the Spit, begins at 6 p.m. at the Lodge at Sherwood Village, 660 Evergreen Farm Way in Sequim. Submitted photo

dine on some of Cutler’s potatoes. Cutler insisted that Charles Griffin, who ran the company’s operations, should keep his pig out of his potatoes. Griffin responded, saying Cutler should keep his potatoes out of the company’s pig. Eventually, Cutler shot the pig. In Bunnell’s telling, the event was more or less an accident — a momentary lapse of judgment. In real life, it was perhaps a bit more problematic. In either case, Cutler apologized and offered to pay for the pig. But then the big boys got involved, with British authorities calling for the arrest of Cutler and the further removal of all Americans from the island. Bunnell said Vancouver Island Gov. James Douglas had simply had enough. “He had watched his country give away the Columbia River, what is now the state of Washington, and the Puget Sound, with all of its resources.” “He wasn’t giving away anything else.” The Americans on the island appealed to Brig. General William S. Harney, a noted hothead, who happily got involved. He ordered Company D, 9th U.S. Infantry, to the island. Led by Capt. George E. Pickett (who would soon become famous for his Civil War charge), the 64-man unit encamped on the island. Douglas responded, but not in kind. He sent warships and marines to deal with the matter. Eventually the faceoff included three British warships and 1,000 Marines threatening the pitiful few American troops, who refused to back down. Tensions grew for weeks until, finally, and at the last minute, cooler heads prevailed. The two nations agreed to hold the

Drayton Harbor Days Saturday, August 1 & Sunday, August 2 • 10 am - 5 pm

Skookum Bay Publishing now has four additional books in the works — two of Bunnell’s and two from other authors whose work he admires. Bunnell is clearly excited about the possibilities. “I’d thought about publishing for many years. Not only for my own stuff, but for other writers. It had reached a point where you might have a manuscript all ready to go, and you’d take years finding an agent, and then the agent would take at least a year.” “People would go to a vanity press, but the problem is that they don’t care if it’s a piece of junk.” He said reviewers and editors won’t look at vanity press books. While his writers don’t pay him for his services, Bunnell said he’s nevertheless “not going to print anything that comes in the door.” He said he’s encouraged by the fact that these days, “more of The New York Times best sellers started out by being printed by some small independent press in Iowa.” He’s always looking for new clients for Skookum Bay Publishing and currently is seeking submissions for a planned collection of short stories by local authors. “Lyman Cutler” is now available in Sequim at Good News Books and also is available through Amazon and sbaybooks. com. It features cover art by Sequim artist Priscilla Messner-Patterson. Mark Couhig is a former reporter for the Sequim Gazette. He’s now working on his second novel, which he describes as “currently, a huge mess.” Reach him at mcouhig@gmail.com.

Sprint boats race back to P.A. Sports Park hosts races July 25 and Aug. 22 BY MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Edge of your seat excitement races back to Port Angeles’ waters this weekend. The Extreme Sports Park, 2917 W. Edgewood Drive, hosts the second race of the season for the American Sprint Boat Pro Racing Series on July 25. Boaters also return to the course for the third race of the season on Aug. 22, which serves as Round I of the World Championships. More than 20 boats will storm upwards of 90 mph over three feet of water in three classes — Super Modifieds, A-400s and the unlimited super boats. Heats are less 10 minutes apart keeping the pace frenetic. Driver Paul Gahr Jr. of Sequim enters his eighth year driving a sprint boat, Live Wire No. 2, with his two children Joshua and Taylor splitting navigating duties. At their first race on June 20 in St. John, Gahr Jr. said they had some electrical issues and made a wrong turn on the course resulting in disqualification in the semi-finals. “We had troubles all day, but that’s racing though,” he said. As the second race approaches, Gahr Jr. said he’s beginning to have sleepless nights in anticipation of getting back on the water. Last year, Gahr Jr. said the competition in the A-400 division was tight with half a second separating many of the racers last year. Adding to the intensity, teams aren’t shown their racing sequence of about 30-plus turns or so through a maze of

gravel islands until the night before the race. “There really isn’t practice time beforehand,” he said. “It’s show up race day and get four chances to run it correctly.” Teri Cummings, a navigator for 10 years, said on the night of the race she recommends people not talk to her while she studies the layout. “I’m in the (course’s) sand and grass walking through it like a lunatic,” she said. “There’s up to 40 turns we have to remember.” Cummings, a Sequim resident, navigates for her son Dillon Brown in the super modified class boat Jeepers Creepers. She said some drivers prefer to learn the turns too but some do not. “Dillon doesn’t memorize it. He’s concentrating on the RPMs, oil pressure and making the turns,” she said.

The Olympic Crosscutters, consisting of Sequim, Port Angeles and Jefferson County players, finished their first season a few strokes off the bat from a state berth. They hosted the American Legion AA District 2 Regional Tournament at Port Angeles’ Civic Field on July 17-19 but were eliminated after two close losses. The Crosscutters opened the tournament with a 4-3 loss to Lower Columbia Silver on Friday night followed by another tight game on Saturday, losing 5-3 to the Olympic Tigers

of Bremerton. Nigel Christian helped keep the peninsula-wide team close in the first game, stealing three bases, including two in the first inning, plus earning a run on an overthrow in the first inning against the Longview-Kelso team. In the fourth inning, Christian made it to second base on an overthrow, third base on a pop-up by Lane Dotson and home on a fielding error following a Dan Harker hit. Down 2-0 and with two outs in the bottom of the

The duo communicates turns, Cummings said, through hand signals. “The motor is so loud that there’s no way to verbally tell him where to go,” she said. “We tried using mics but they don’t work either.”

Growing support Since its first race on Sept. 17, 2011, Dan Morrison, co-owner of the Extreme Sports Park, said the races continue to grow with upwards of 9,000 people attending each event. “The sport is growing. Demographically, we have a bigger fanbase than just Port Angeles,” Morrison said. “The goal is to keep growing.” Cummings said a large part of the growth comes from word of mouth. “Once you are there and smell the air everything radiates in your body,” she said. A large part of that is the MAVTV network airing their events with spectators flying in from across the country and world for the races now, he said. “I was surprised 40-45 percent of crowds are from out of the area,” Morrison said. With the world championships beginning on Aug. 22, teams from New Zealand and Australia were invited but due to some economic issues Morrison said he’s unsure if some of their teams will be able to attend. As a special treat for the Aug. 22 races, Cummings and the Dungeness Bay Seahawkers, a booster club of the Seattle Seahawks, are planning to bring Mama Lynch, Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch’s mother, to the event to ride in a boat, hand out awards and make appearances.

fourth, team Silver went up 3-2 following an Alex Bacon two-run From page B-5 single and later a fielding error leading to a run. Christian tied the game with another run following a Logan Shaw RBI. Lower Columbia went on to win in the bottom of the sixth with two outs following an RBI single by Bacon to bring in Yancy Bird. Christian also pitched the game for the Crosscutters, striking out five and only giving up one walk. In game two, the Crosscutters recorded their three runs in the

third inning with a two-run RBI single by Christian and a free-pass to home on an error. However, the Tigers went up in the fourth 4-3 following two singles and an error leading the hitters home. Another error led to the 5-3 finish. Dotson pitched four innings and struck out two Tigers while A.J. Prater recorded two hits for the Crosscutters. The American Legion State tournament in Lacey runs July 24-30. John Qualls, Darrin Dotson and Buck Gieseke coached the Crosscutters this year for boys ages 14-19.

Resistant plantings: Some animals will not eat plants that have a strong aroma (such as lavender, thyme, chives), a fuzzy or prickly texture (rudbeckia, lamb’s ear) or a bitter or alkaloid taste (daffodil and foxglove). Native plants are a good choice in the landscape because they are typically more resistant to pests or resilient after damage. But no plant is entirely resistant.

have a baby. If the situation got out of hand, they would call home to see if she had gone into labor. That would be a key to us, the parents, knowing that it was time for us to come get her. We never needed to use this tale but it gave her strength knowing that she had a way out of a difficult situation. Teens are faced with many tough choices as they grow. Be there to help by introducing some of the difficult choices they will face. Make sure she understands that most teens face these kinds of choices and you don’t fault her for them. Explain that these choices go on throughout life. When she is in a department store and the clerk has turned around, it looks so easy to take the earrings she really likes. She has to make a choice. When she is with her friends and they offer her illegal marijuana and she may think no one would ever know if she used it, again she has to make a choice. When she is taking an important test and a friend tells her a way she can smuggle the questions to her before the test, she has to make a choice. Life is filled with them and they don’t quit when she is an adult. These choices determine the kind of person she decides to be. Help her practice so that she can be the person she is proud of. You may have to set limits on her choices but within those limits, let her pick. For example, when it is too cold for her to wear shorts, you still can give her a choice between her jeans and her red pants. You can let her make the choice of which vegetable the family will have for dinner. Positive, purposeful parenting helps make responsible adults.

Scare tactics: Some animals can be scared away with motion-activated sprinklers, loud noises or shiny/moving objects. It is necessary to change these tactics frequently due to habituation. Chemical repellents: Chemical repellents smell or taste bad and animals will avoid plants to which these chemicals are applied. Repellents typically are made from natural products and are safe for use on plants. Most must be reapplied after rain and as the plant produces new growth. Trapping: With trapping, the goal is to capture and relocate the animal. Trap type, placement and camouflage are critical to success. Poisons and baits: When consumed, poisons and baits kill the pest. Poisons and baits, however, usually are dangerous to other animals — wildlife, pets and humans. The poison or bait must be registered for the pest and the pest name must be shown on the product label. Rules and regulations restrict tracking, hunting or otherwise killing certain animals, even if they are pests. Because regulations change frequently, go online to wdfw.wa.gov/living/rules/ for the latest information.

This year’s earnings allowed for $25,000 in grants for faculty and staff, as well as $20,000 for Exceptional Faculty Awards, also based on endowment earnings. The funds for these awards come from a number of sources, with the majority derived from the earnings of two endowments. One of those endowments was provided by a donor with interests in Professional/ Technical programs. These funds are split among student scholarships and faculty professional development and equipment needs. The second endowment is an Exceptional Faculty Endowment set up by the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges to promote faculty professional development.

Soroptimists, youths ‘AIM High’ BY MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

In helping young girls reach for the stars, Sequim Soroptimists are hoping they’ll reach out to others. In this case, with dolls in hand. Soroptimist International of Sequim recently embarked on a project with the mission to provide opportunities for positive self-esteem, enhance learning and encourage community services for girls through a program called “AIM High … Reach for the Stars.” Soroptimist Amanda Beitzel says some members of her group began tutoring at Greywolf Elementary School last year. The efforts have blossomed to help students from both Greywolf and Helen Haller Elementary through the Sequim Boys & Girls Club during the summer months. “The purpose is to promote learning and thinking beyond one’s self,” Beitzel said. One of the “AIM High” efforts includes the Heart Kids Rag Doll Project, where girls were selected to complete, decorate and name rag doll creations with the goal of learning about community service. Each girl included a note of encouragement to their doll with the finished project being donated to Healthy Families of Clallam County.

Each doll has a message on the back of its head.

Beitzel, fellow members of the American Sewing Guild and friends created the dolls and the youths completed them, then presented the dolls to Daryl Trowbridge, advocate for Healthy Families of Clallam County on July 9. The goal is distribute the dolls to children who have come to the agency in crisis. “They come from bad situations,” Trowbridge said, telling the young doll makers about the recipients of their creations. “Sometimes kids get scared, frustrated. Sometimes they can’t grab their favorite things. This way, they can have a friend with them wherever they go. These kids have a lot going on in their lives. This is going to help them feel really good.” The dolls include a note with messages such as

“This doll has faith in you” along with the name of the doll’s creator. “We wanted to do a community service project and we knew Healthy Families needed donations,” Beitzel said. Soroptimists and the Boys & Girls Club also have partnered on the AIM High Book Club. Youths selected by Boys & Girls Club staff participate in the club with facilitators using a literature kit written to Common Core State Standards. It includes small group activities with an emphasis to increase interest in reading. In July, Soroptimist volunteers helped youths explore the award-winning book “Because of Winn-Dixie,” by Kate DiCamillo. For more about Soroptimist International of Sequim, see www.sisequim.org.

Herbs talk set Veteran Master Gardeners Barbara Heckard and Sally Tysver share their years of experience and expertise harvesting and using herbs from their gardens at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 25, at the Master Gardener Demonstration Garden, 2711 Woodcock Road. They will lead a guided walk through the medicinal and culinary herb specimens in the demonstration garden following their presentation. Tysver, a 24-year veteran of Master Gardeners, will provide an account of the history of the use of herbs, including how they arrived in America, along with tips for planting, harvesting and drying them. Heckard, a Master Gardener since 2013, will discuss cultivating and cooking with fresh culinary herbs to enhance favorite recipes, focusing specifically on rosemary, oregano, sage, basil, thyme and chives. The “Class Act at Woodcock Garden” educational series continues Aug. 8, Aug. 22, Sept. 12 and Sept. 26. The presentations are free and open to the public. Donations are accepted.

HANK is a wonderful golden/lab mix, 7-8 years young, full of energy and very sweet. He loves people and especially would be best to be an only dog. He does love to play with other four legged friends, unless you are a cat. Hank is very gentle, loves car rides and going on adventures. He is looking for a home that will love him forever. Due to his size, I wouldn’t recommend very young children, is currently 98lbs.
