Tiny Olympic Library set for Seal Street Park Location is one of four chosen throughout county by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Seal Street Park is the future home to a Tiny Olympic Library – a freestanding, self-service structure aimed at providing a small collection of books for community members and/or visitors to enjoy. The compact, custom-designed and locally crafted library will have books available for all ages, ranging from children’s picture books to literary fiction. All books are free and may be kept, shared or returned, and to maintain an ever-changing selection, library staff plan to regularly keep the tiny library stocked with new choices. The small city park located along Washington Street “met all the criteria” library officials set in order to choose the ideal locations to incorporate tiny libraries, Joe Irvin, City of Sequim parks manager and assistant to the city manager, said. “It’s a high pedestrian area,” he said. “I’m excited … it just seems like a really neat project.” Established in 2003 as part of a Downtown Revitalization Project, Seal Street Park was named in recognition of Charles Franklin Seal who was an entrepreneur within the area and built the Sequim Trading Company at the corner of Washington Street and North Sequim Avenue. Though only one-tenth of an acre in size, already Seal Street Park has three benches, an exercise station, a World War I veterans memorial drinking fountain and an informational kiosk to help navigate around town. “I think it’s a great addition to the park,” Irvin said. “I’ve seen tiny libraries in other neighborhoods

By the end of the month city officials expect to install a small, freestanding library at Seal Street Park as part of a project spearheaded by the North Olympic Library System to implement four Tiny Olympic Libraries throughout Clallam County.

PRETTY SMILE

It’s OK to have a pretty smile. There is no law that says you cannot improve the smile you have had for 30, 40, or 50 years. And these days, we as dentists have materials and methods that make teeth so natural looking that your friends and neighbors will likely forget what a smile looked like before enhancement. Instead of white-ish opaque caps, they will see teeth so naturallooking that they will appear to have grown there as Original Equipment. We don’t want people to say “my, what beautiful dental work you have”. We want them to say, “you have the nicest smile!!” 571309742

His office is located at 321 N. Sequim Ave., Ste. C. (360) 683-4850 www.Sequimsmiles.com

ONP picks Taylor for deputy superintendent “Lee is a proven leader with a strong background in both park operations and the Pacific Northwest,” Olympic National Park Superintendent Sarah Creachbaum said. “I am very pleased to have Lee join our staff and community.” Taylor joins the park staff in her new position in mid-September. “Olympic National Park, with its mountains, coastline, old-growth forest and human history, is a spectacular place,” Taylor said. “I am excited to work with the park’s staff and partners to help manage and protect it for future generations.” Olympic National Park was established in 1938 and protects 922,651 acres, nearly 95 percent of which is designated wilderness. More than 200 employees help protect and maintain the park’s resources, and provide services and facilities for more than 3 million visitors each year.

Contributor Bob Lampert spotted these colorful boats at John Wayne Marina in July.

Jody Moss, executive director of United Way of Clallam County since 2005, tendered her resignation on July 16. “We will miss the positive energy Jody has brought to the United Way during her tenure as executive director,” Jo Johnston, United Way of Clallam County board president, said. “We are proud of her many accomplishments and her vision, and we will miss her.” In her tenure at the United Way, Moss helped United Way of Clallam County raise more than $9.5 million through its annual campaigns — reaching the $1 million goal in both 2006 and 2008 campaigns.

The United Way also received a number of donations to the Clallam Community Foundation, including a $1.2 million McCool fund, which has been applied to early learning grants, and received the Ninke fund that has helped low-income seniors with emergency needs. In other community MOSS work, the United Way created and launched the Volunteers in Medicine of the Olympics free clinic in Port Angeles and added three new agencies as United Way partners — simultaneously introducing partner agencies to outcomes-based work and funding them in a way to encourage this movement.

Moss participated in a number of boards, advocacy efforts and collective impact opportunities. Moss will work with the United Way of Clallam County board on a transition plan, with her last day set for Aug. 31. The board is searching for an interim leader for the United Way of Clallam County, as it develops a strategy to embrace national United Way-standard staffing arrangements and hire a fulltime chief executive officer. The United Way board is planning a farewell reception at a later date and will encourage partner agencies and community members to attend.

Total trestle replacement under way Modern design aimed to benefit people, fish and river system

In preparation for the full replacement of the damaged trestle at Railroad Bridge Park and to avoid major conflict with pink and chinook salmon spawning in the project area (expected to begin by mid-month), five pile bents within the Dungeness River channel were removed the first weekend of August.

A large section of the damaged trestle spanning the Dungeness River at Railroad Bridge Park is no longer there, as the first weekend of August proved an ideal time to begin prepping the 1960s-era trestle for total replacement. “When funding for the project was guaranteed, the tribe was very anxious to complete the in-river work before Dry summer any spawning in the Irrigation leader urges Sequim-area project area,” tribe officials citizens to start sa id. “ T he water conservation s p a w n i n g now. A-15 is generally considered to be mid-August but the sooner work could be completed, the better.” Following the preparatory work, full replacement of the trestle is expected to begin mid-month and ideally end mid-December, Annette Nesse, chief operations officer for Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, said in a previous interview. Six months after early February flood conditions resulted in damage to the trestle, which also acts as an integral piece of the Olympic Discovery Trail, the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe (owners of Railroad Bridge Park, the Howe truss bridge and trestle) have collaborated with a variety of partners to secure funding and identify the best approach to either replace it or temporally repair it. Together, officials from the en-

gineering firm Otak, an advisory group consisting of representatives of the tribe, the Dungeness River Audubon Center, the River Center Board, the Peninsula Trails Coalition, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the North Olympic Salmon Coalition, the North Olympic Peninsula Lead Entity for Salmon and Clallam County, chose the preferred alternative to completely replace the existing trestle with a modern river, fish and people friendly bridge. The historical and undamaged 150-foot bridge will remain. “This option addresses tribal transportation infrastructure goals and provides for river processes, meeting important salmon habitat goals as well,” tribe officials said. The “complexities associated

with modifying a large-scale and environmentally sensitive river crossing connected to a Registered National Historic Property” resulted in months of behind the scenes work and coordination to reach an environmentally and financially viable project, tribe officials said. Prior to committing to replace the trestle in its entirety, tribe officials needed to secure an estimated $2 million for the project. An approved $1.53 million grant from the Recreation and Conservation Office Salmon Recovery Board coupled with several other funding sources will be used to pursue the project, including tribal insurance proceeds, tribal transportation funding and a contribution from the Peninsula Trails Coalition. Also, among the many permit-

ting challenges, the Dungeness River is habitat to four species listed as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act, including Puget Sound chinook, Hood Canal chum, steelhead and bull trout. A “Determination of Mitigated Significant Impact” was issued following the environmental review process done by the tribe in accordance to the Tribal Environmental Policy Act prior to the preparatory work and removal of the damaged pilings and bents, but to complete the project, the final permits needed under the National Environmental Policy Act and Section 106 reviews are in progress. Upon replacement, 38 creosote timber pile bent supports will be removed from the riverbed to allow the river to move more natu-

Sunday’s 47th Salmon Bake to benefit local community nonprofits Sequim Gazette staff

Foodies rejoice as one of Sequim’s growing traditions, Sequim Noon Rotary’s 47th annual Salmon Bake & BBQ, convenes this Sunday, Aug. 9, at the Sequim Boys & Girls Club, 400 W. Fir St. Event coordinator Vicky Blakesly said organizers anticipate more than 900 meals of Alaskan salmon and local pulled pork being served from noon-4 p.m. “Over the last 47 years, it’s been such a good community event where you can eat a great meal, sit under tents and enjoy the live music,” she said. “It’s also our largest fundraising event.” Blakesly, who leads the event for a second year, said 80 percent of participants choose the wild keta salmon which is grilled over an alder wood fire but organizers also developed a special Sequim sauce last year for the pork. All adult meals include baked beans, coleslaw, a roll, an ice cream cup and drink for $16 pre-sale or $18 at the event.

Children 12 and under can receive a hot dog and drink for $5. Tickets are available from Noon Rotary Club members, from a special display at QFC this Friday-Sunday, Sequim Farmers Market, a few local merchants like Thoma s Building Supply, Professional Real Estate, Beal Carpets, Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center and at the event. New this year, organizers added a wine and beer garden from 7 Cedars, and they continue to offer nonprofit vendor booths inside. Latin swing band Porto Alegre plays outside from noon-2:15 p.m. and Dukes of Dabob, a Dixieland jazz and swing band, from 2:305 p.m. Blakesly said music will be broadcast inside, too. Raffles will be available along with exhibits, too. “Vicky and her helpers have done a wonderful job planning an afternoon of fun with good food, live music, exciting raffles and interesting exhibits,” said Sequim

CORRECTIONS The Sequim City Council voted 5-1 regarding lifting a moratorium on retail marijuana, with council member Laura Dubois absent. An article in the July 29 edition of the Sequim Gazette (“Pot is coming to town as city ends moratorium,” page A-1) gave an incorrect vote count. In the story “Plans to further playfields parking in limbo” (Sequim Gazette, July 29 page A-1), the Sequim Family Advocates returned $128,000 to the Albert Haller Foundation for parking improvements at the Albert Haller Playfields after City of Sequim officials denied a request to build more paved parking. The advocacy group also raised an additional $36,000 for the project. An incorrect amount was given.

In doing so, the new bridge is projected to create high quality salmon habitat while restoring the bike/pedestrian crossing with a trestle of modern materials that is structurally sound. “I’m ecstatic!” Powell Jones, Dungeness River Audubon Center executive director, said. “I’m really excited because the design works really well for everyone.” Since the trestle sustained damages and thus closed to through traffic, the number of visitors to the park has dropped, Jones said, but once the trestle is replaced, he expects the traffic to fully recover. “It’s going to be amazing,” Jones said. “You rarely get a project like this that’s great for fish, people and the river. It’s usually one or the other.”

John Wayne named to Sequim Masons

Members of the Sequim Masonic Lodge No. 213 posthumously elected John Wayne, a Freemason, an honorary member of the local lodge on July 9 for his “exceptional service to Masonry” and “contributions he has made to our Dungeness Valley” including donating land in 1975 that went on to become the John Wayne Marina. Local masons say this is believed to be the first honorary membership of its kind in Washington State Masonic history.

VOLUNTEER CORNER

Volunteer Carrie Johnson-Tate Helps to“Keep the Kiddos Safe” Volunteer in Police Service (VIPS) Carrie Johnson-Tate first learned about the Child Passenger Safety Seat program when she attended one of the local seat check events and learned that she could get certified and help with the program. “The technician I learned from retired, and then I took over,” Carrie said. “I have three kids of my own, and I care for many other kids off and on. I love to keep the kiddos safe.” Carrie says families should contact the Sequim Police Department at (360) 683-7227 to find out how the program can help them. She will get their information and contact them directly to either educate them on how to correctly install and use the car seat they have or give them a new seat and show them how to install and use it. Families typically need new car seats Carrie Johnson-Tate with Child Passenger Safety Seats. if the one they have is unsafe, expired, or their child has outgrown the seat. The program has seats that the families can keep and ones that they can have on loan, depending on their need. Recipients of the seats are asked for a donation to support the program. The Sequim Police Department buys new seats with these funds by shopping sales and working with a car seat manufacturer to get a discounted rate. Carrie, a native of Sequim said, “Volunteering is a great thing. It shows people that you do it for the love of what you do, not just because you’re getting paid to do it.” To learn more about volunteering with the City of Sequim contact Volunteer Coordinator Pamela Leonard-Ray at (360) 582-2447 or pleonardray@sequimwa.gov or City Clerk Karen Kuznek-Reese at (360) 681-3428 or kkuznek@sequimwa.gov.

WATER SAVING TIP OF THE MONTH In the Garden—MINIMIZE OR ELIMINATE YOUR LAWN Keeping a lawn green (and weed free) takes a lot of water and work. Reduce or eliminate your lawn watering needs by: • Keeping your lawn area as small as possible • Limiting your lawn area to areas with good soil or amending soil with compost • Mowing high with a mulching mower blade • Being tolerant of summer turf dormancy (brown turf)

REMEMBER: BROWN IS THE NEW GREEN! The grass will come back to life with the fall rains just like the trees and shrubs do each spring.

Even on Cool Days, Cars Can Heat Up to Dangerous Temperatures Pets are part of the family and you want to take them with you, BUT during the summer months when the heat starts to rise, it’s best to leave your pet at home. Even when parked in the shade on a warm day, animals (or kids and the elderly) can succumb to heatstroke or death if left in a car unattended.

How You Can Help DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE PET FROM THE CAR YOURSELF. • If you know the owner, a friendly conversation of “hey your pet is hot” and alert them to the danger of leaving pets in the car can be helpful. • If the car is in a parking lot, speak with the store manager. They can be very resourceful in locating the owner or calling animal control. • Keep your local animal control phone number in your cell phone — Sequim Animal Control 360-683-7227, and call Animal Control or the police for assistance.

Couple’s quest for ‘perfect place’ leads to ‘magical’ site for B&B Homey inn has farm theme, with plenty of comfort by PATRICIA MORRISON COATE Sequim Gazette

First, Clare Monnin and Su Ferronato found each other shortly after moving to Sequim in the early 1990s. Then they found their dreams also merged with the desire to own and operate a bed and breakfast inn. “We talked about having a B&B for 20 years because we both had similar ideas,” Monnin said. “We had a commitment to finding the perfect property and being stewards of that property. We’re very interested in sustainability and we wanted to find the perfect place to nourish and care for people.” It’s been a long road, with several near misses in acquiring the inn, but now the pair have been the owners of the Dungeness Barn House B&B at Two Crows Farm for nearly a year. “I like to joke that I’ve been stalking the Barn House for 20 years,” Monnin laughed, perched on a tall chair in the barn’s former milking parlor — now a comfortable dining room — its original red tile floor aglow with a patina of use. The original dairy barn was built circa 1925 by Irish immigrant Art Rogers for the Mains Farm. An architect from New Jersey remodeled it into a home in the 1950s, showcasing features such as the barn’s original beams and red tile floor. By the early 2000s, the property had become dilapidated, but Barrie and Berta Warden saw potential in it as a home and retirement project — however he died about four years after their remodeling project. “We’d looked at the Barn House, although it wasn’t a B&B just yet,” Monnin said. “Berta was looking to sell as she had just lost her husband. We were crazy for the place then, but we were scared we couldn’t afford it and even if we could, we needed to sell two properties. We walked away disappointed but always felt like it would be the perfect place.” Warden turned the property into a B&B in 2010 and ran it for several years, again deciding to sell in 2012.

Food and craft vendors are being sought for Arts and Draughts “Fermentation Celebration,” a beer and wine festival Sept. 26-27 on Laurel Street in downtown Port Angeles. It will offer a taste of locally produced beers, wines and ciders from the Olympic Peninsula while honoring local artists and their works with exhibits, gallery tours and “art in the making” demonstrations. The vendor fee is $75 for a 10-foot by 10-foot space. Deadline for applying is Aug. 27. To register for a vendor space, contact director@ portangelesdowntown.com. Messages for committee members may be left at 457-9614.

are the “Comfee” (Stable 3) and “Cozy” (Stable 4) bedrooms, with twin and full beds, respectively, decked out with antique blue and white quilts. “We rent them as much as the king suites and they’re more affordable,” Monnin said. Stable 3 is named for their goldendoodle Comfee, the B&B’s official greeter. Last but certainly not least is the great room, the barn’s former hayloft, its north wall windows providing a panoramic view of the strait. The room is so large that even massive pieces of antique oak furniture don’t detract from its atmosphere of airiness. Overstuffed functional chairs and couches, an old library table facing the rose gardens and a round “tin” table are all places for guests to make themselves at home. Monnin and Ferronato also encourage guests to explore their ample organic vegetable garden in raised beds that Ferronato built. “We wanted raised beds so when we’re 80 we can still be gardening,” Monnin quipped. “Our whole goal is that even in winter it will be ‘garden to table’ for our guests.” Included in the reservation is a three- or fivecourse breakfast, Monnin added. “I think there’s something magical about this spot. It’s a vortex that draws you in.”

A draft of the Sequim School District’s $29.5 million budget sees some significant changes this fall, as school leaders prepare for all-day kindergarten classes at both Sequim elementary schools and distribute more state funds legislators agreed to allocate following this year’s legislative session. “It’s a watershed year,” Brian Lewis, executive director of business services for the Sequim School District, said. Lewis said the district is anticipating the equivalent of 35 more students in 2015-2016 to about 2,685 students, with the bulk of growth coming when kindergarten students are counted as full-time students,

From page A-1 unlimited tax general obligation bonds in the principal amount of $49.3 million over 20 years. That would put the school tax rate for a property owner in Sequim School District boundaries at $2.19 per $1,000 of assessed valuation (the figure includes the current educational programs and operations levy), according to Brian Lewis, executive director of business services for the Sequim School District. The proposal needs to meet a “super majority,” or 60 percent, of the vote in November. In April 2014, voters defeated a $154 million bond proposal by a 56-44 percent margin. A trimmed down version put to a vote in February 2015 of $49.5 million received more than 57 percent yes votes, falling short of the “super majority” figure. This proposal mirrors last February’s, with about $29 million for a new elementary school, $9.2 million for science classrooms and band/ choir rooms at Sequim High, $2.1 million to modernize the district’s base kitchen, $7.2 for four new classrooms and a gymnasium at Greywolf Elementary, $1.9 million in renovations to Helen Haller Elementary School to house Olympic Peninsula Academy students, $1.7 million for reconfiguring science classrooms to general education rooms at Sequim High, about $830,000 to reconfigure part of the Sequim Community School into a warehouse and maintenance facility, and about $660,000 to demolish a portion of the unused community school. The district expects to receive about $4.3 million in state matching funds. On Monday night, citizens

rather than a one-half equivalent as in past years. The district looks to add personnel this fall, including five teaching positions at the kindergarten level, four special education positions throughout the district, an added counselor position at Sequim High School, and LEWIS to spend about $370,000 more in curriculum, technology and facilities maintenance projects. Washington state lawmakers, under a state Supreme Court order in the McCleary case to boost basic education funding, increased basic education funding by $1.3 billion statewide.

and school staffers packed the boardroom to affirm their support for putting a bond proposal on the Nov. 3 ballot. Br a nd ino Gibson, a Sequim businessman, said he supports a measure for the upcoming general election. He said a key question he gets from others in business circles is, how are the schools? “I would love to give them a positive answer, but unfortunately I can’t do that,” Gibson said. “I’ll do everything I can to back you up if you put this on the November ballot.” Therese Coleman, who works on the maintenance crew at the school district, added, “I know what the facilities look like. I can only put on so much paint.” In recent weeks, the board had considered several dates to rerun a bond proposal, including running a special election in February 2016, when school board positions have been settled. On Monday, board members agreed an earlier date was better. “We would be sort of insane to run it in February, in the face of all the support of JOHNSON the people who will run this campaign,” Johnson said. With the majority of the audience pulling for a Nov. 3 bond resolution, the board concurred. “I wish it would have been like this last time,” Jeffers said of the crowd at Monday’s meeting, “but better late than never.” According to the Citizens for Sequim Schools Facebook page, Gibson and Colleen Robinson are taking the lead with that group to spearhead a campaign to pass the November bond proposal. project, Sequim city councilors unanimously approved a Memorandum of Understanding July 27 with NOLS.

Lewis said he’s suggesting the district keep 8.2 percent of operating costs in the general fund balance — up from 7.5 percent — in case there are costs associated with parents switching their kindergartners from halftime to full-time in the middle of the school year. “It gives us an escape hatch in case kindergarten enrollment doesn’t show up like we think it will,” he told Sequim School Board directors Monday night. A hearing and possible adoption of the budget comes to board directors at their meeting at 6 p.m. on Aug. 17. Find the draft budget proposal at Lewis’ district page: www. sequim.k12.wa.us/domain/8.

GOD CREATED THE EARTH AND BLESSED THIS COUNTRY WHAT MUST WE DO TO RETAIN IT?

by Carter Conlon

“I

N THE YEAR that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!’ And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke” (Isaiah 6:1–4, NKJV.

It was the year when military might was failing, the economy was in tatters, and enemies were laughing. It was the year when greatness and glory seemed to be something relegated to history, leaving people afraid for their future. It was the year that God responded with a final act of mercy to that generation, and He did so by drawing someone into His presence. That is what He always has done, and that is what He always will do. “I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!’ And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke” (Isaiah 6:1–4). Isaiah was drawn into God’s presence where he was given a revelation of the majesty, power, holiness and glory of the One whose purposes were being fulfilled in the earth. Upon having this encounter with God, Isaiah immediately became aware of his own uncleanness as well as that of the people around him. “So I said: ‘Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts’” (Isaiah 6:5). Think about it—Isaiah was a religious man living in a religious nation; he even had some responsibility in the temple. Yet, until that moment, he had never fully seen the holiness of God. Suddenly, in the presence of the Lord, he understood that all of our human righteousness is as filthy rags. He understood that there is nothing we can do of our own accord—no sacrifice we make, no good thing we produce—that will ever give us the right to stand in the presence of a holy God. Keep in mind that the nation had been faltering because of pride under Uzziah’s leadership. At this point, the only thing that could counterbalance it would be a people who were not filled with pride but rather humility, so the timing of Isaiah’s encounter was strategic. Once Isaiah was humbled in the presence of the Lord, the Scriptures describe an amazing transaction that took place: “One of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: ‘Behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged’” (Isaiah 6:6–7, NKJV). In other words, beyond recognizing his own uncleanness and that of the people, Isaiah now saw the willingness of God to forgive those who would turn back to Him! Isaiah did not have to plead or beg for it. Mercy came and touched him, and he became aware that it was the delight of God to

forgive and cleanse. Similarly, in our day those who have been humbled because they have been in the presence of the Lord begin to recognize His incredible mercy. They understand that it is in God’s heart to forgive every man, woman, and child in America. He doesn’t want to judge! It is His desire to gather a people to Himself once again. A DIFFICULT MINISTRY After being touched by mercy, Isaiah began to hear the thoughts of God’s own heart as He was conversing with Himself—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?’” (Isaiah 6:8). In other words, who will go and be an ambassador of mercy to this undeserving people? “Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me.’ And He said, ‘Go, and tell this people: “Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.” Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and return and be healed.’ Then I said, ‘Lord, how long?’ And He answered, ‘Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant, the houses are without a man, the land is utterly desolate, the Lord has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land. But yet a tenth will be in it, and will return and be for consuming, as a terebinth tree or as an oak, whose stump remains when it is cut down. So the holy seed shall be its stump’” (Isaiah 6:8–13, NKJV). Isaiah was eager to be sent as an ambassador of mercy, yet God was warning him that this ministry was not going to be easy. Nevertheless, it would make an eternal difference in one out of ten people that he would speak to. By drawing a parallel to a tree that is cut down but still has life remaining in its stump—eventually causing a new tree to sprout forth—God was essentially telling Isaiah, “This society has reached a point where the majority are against My ways. Despite the fact that you have stood in My presence, they are so bent on being their own god that most will not repent. Nevertheless, for your effort, one in ten will hear what you have to say. Even though the nation goes into trial and cities are laid waste, there will be one in ten who will have My life planted within them. No matter what happens around them, they will live. They will stand and endure; they will be like a tree planted by the rivers of living water.” One in ten! Of course, that one in ten will still have to go through the same sorrow and trials as everyone else. However, a seed of God’s life will be found within them, enabling them to live when all around them seems lost. WHO WILL GO? And so this is my question for you now: Is the one in ten worth it? Is it worth suffering the rejec-

S has nes Clin as i “ sum tary yea bec pre said the reco G as trea G

tion, the scorn, the vilification, the sneers, the lies of the nine—everything that we will have to endure in this generation if we desire to stand for God? Now bear in mind that if God gives us one in ten, it means that more than 30 million people in the United States will turn back to Him! Some who are already walking with God will be strengthened, others who are backslidden will come home, and many who do not know God will find Him. Oh, can you hear the voice of God calling out once again, “Who will go? Who will be willing to stand, facing the fear of rejection and the pride of wanting to be loved by everyone? Who will go and tell the people of this generation about My desire to forgive in spite of their folly? Who will tell them that if they will just come and stand in My presence, I will touch them and plant within them new life and new hope?”

Perhaps you have thought lately, “I cannot even bring myself to speak the name Jesus in my workplace. I am such a coward!” Or maybe all you can see are your struggles and failures, and you wonder how you could ever be a mouthpiece for the Lord. Yet the beauty of the story of Isaiah is that at the point when he says, “Here I am, send me!” he is still undone. He is weak, and he knows it. He knows that he has no right to boast of himself, for he has seen what he is without God. In the same way, when God is about to use your life in a deeper way, you will become very aware of your own failures and frailties. However, it is in that place of brokenness and humility—that place where you are completely undone and keenly aware that you do not have the right to even speak the name of Jesus—that you truly recognize God’s mercy in your life. In His mercy, He has forgiven you, cleansed you, covered you and called you. And if He is willing to do that for you, He is willing to do the same for others around you. Therefore, this is not a time to be silent. This godlessness of our generation is not going to go away on its own. Light must counter it and you and I are the light of this world. We are the hope of this generation. Remember, it is in God’s heart to use those of us who feel like we are undone. People who have been humbled in the sight of God tend to have a natural compassion for people in our society who are indulging in all sorts of behavior. They will not speak with arrogance, simply presenting another argument. No! They will stand humbly before people, speaking with kindness. Just as they have been touched with the tenderness of God, tenderness will emerge from their lips. These are the ones whom God will use as His ambassadors in this hour, for they will be sent with one message to declare: “God is good, and His mercy endures forever!” Carter Conlon ©2015 Times Square Church

What an incredible encounter Isaiah had with the Lord! And notice that it took place in the year that King Uzziah died. In order to understand the significance of the timing, it is important to know a little bit about Uzziah’s life. The book of Second Chronicles tells us that Uzziah was sixteen years old when he took the throne, and he went on to reign in Jerusalem for fifty-two years. Under his leadership, the nation rose to incredible heights of political, financial and military power, for “as long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper” (2 Chronicles 26:5). The people flourished, giftings were bestowed, and their ability to invent and produce new weapons of war made Judah the marvel of the nations. You and I can lay claim to something similar in America. We are a young nation compared to most on the face of the earth today, yet it is indisputable that people who came to this country from all over the world were made strong by the hand of God. We were marvelously helped, wonderfully gifted, and became the envy of the world in many respects. However, there is an important lesson that we must learn from Uzziah. His death was an ominous warning to the nation that greatness without godliness opens the gateway to a sorrowful and tragic finish. PRIDE GOES BEFORE DESTRUCTION What exactly happened to Uzziah? The Scriptures explain it rather clearly: “He was marvelously helped till he became strong. But when he was strong his heart was lifted up, to his destruction, for he transgressed against the Lord his God by entering the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense” (2 Chronicles 26:15–16, NKJV). Although it was an act clearly forbidden in the law, Uzziah decided to go into the temple to offer incense. This act was a type of a society and its leadership becoming its own judge of what is right and what is wrong. He had known success for so long that his heart was lifted up in pride; he had reached a place where he assumed he could do nothing wrong in God’s sight. Of course, the Bible warns us that pride always goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall (see Proverbs 16:18). Eighty priests of the Lord went in after Uzziah, warning him, “It is not for you to burn incense to

the Lord!” (see 2 Chronicles 26:17–19). In other words, “What you are doing is not right. God has not prescribed it to be done this way. You are taking something that is wrong and calling it right; taking something evil and trying to call it good.” Yet, as these men who represented the truth of God withstood this king of pride, he became furious with them. What a stark difference from those early years when he had sought the Lord in humility! Similarly, you and I are living in a time when a fury is mounting against those who speak for God. We are somewhere between persecution and prosecution in the house of God in this nation. Those who stand for truth, as Isaiah said, have become a prey of the ungodly—something to be vilified and cast down (see Isaiah 59:15). With the censer still in his hand and anger rising in his heart, the Scriptures tell us that Uzziah’s forehead broke out in leprosy. It was a visible sign of the spiritually diseased condition of his mind—an outward expression of what had long ago started to ferment inside of him. He found himself shamed for the rest of his days, and he died in a leper colony. This goes to show that the disease of the soul first manifests in the minds of the people and then in their subsequent behaviors. For example, where did we ever get the idea in this nation that we were as God— that we could declare what is good and what is evil? Why did we assume we could transgress the Word of God, which was once our own foundation, and not pay a price for it? We suppressed the truth we once knew and, as a result, we have subjected ourselves to living in an illusion and opened ourselves to a diseased mind. It is just as the Apostle Paul warned in the book of Romans: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them...Although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened...And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting”(Romans 1:18–21, 28). Once the envy of the nations, America is now becoming the mockery of the nations. We are becoming increasingly weak and confused; we are paralyzed socially, politically, and morally. It is obvious that the hand of God is not upon us in the way it once was. GOD’S RESPONSE So how does God respond when a nation finds itself in such a perilous condition? First of all, remember that it was “in the year that King Uzziah died” that Isaiah saw the Lord. In other words, it was the year when all hope seemed to be gone.

for Columbia Bank in Sequim and after the bank was bought out, she stayed on staff to assist with the conversion. Prior to coming to Sequim, Gates had experience in the banking and mortgages industries in Washington and Oregon and served as bank manager in various locations throughout the Pacific Northwest. “I appreciate the opportunity to serve on the board of an organization that is critical to many individuals who would be unable to receive health care by any other means,” Gates said. “It is so important to support the efforts of those health care providers and other volunteers in our community who help the underserved. From wellness

education, health care, referral services and prescription assistance, the clinic fills a void.” Gates also volunteers for the Sequim Irrigation Festival board of directors and is active with the Sequim Sunrise Rotary. Dungeness Valley Health & Wellness Clinic is the Sequim free clinic that provides access to health care for the underserved in the community and promotes wellness. The clinic is committed to remaining a free clinic in the ever-changing world of health care and is supported in part by donations from the business community, individuals and grants.

Social Security provides support with survivor benefits by KIRK LARSON Social Security Western Washington Public Affairs Specialist

In the unfortunate event of a family member’s death, we want you to know that Social Security is here to help. In addition to the emotional difficulty family members experience, there often is a financial burden as well, especially if the family’s main wage earner dies. In such cases, Social Security survivor benefits will help. It’s there to help support the family in times of need. Today, in Washington, there are many who depend on the Social Security benefits provided

by a loved one who has died. Over 110,000 surviving spouses and children receive monthly benefit payments. Those payments add up to over $1.5 billion per year. Did you know that nearly every child in America could get Social Security survivors benefits if a working parent dies? In addition, Social Security pays more benefits to children than any other federal program. Today, nearly 2 million children receive benefits from a deceased parent’s record each month. Although many people think Social Security is just a retirement program, you should know that Social Security also provides

Gunn will explain to the audience what Tai Chi is all about, the six essential principles of Tai Chi and evidence of its benefits. She will offer some warm-up exercises to help show why Tai Chi might be a part of your therapy program and your pursuit of wellness. WOW!

grandchildren, stepgrandchildren and adopted children. Another special program Social Security uses to support the family is dependent parent benefits. If your child dies and you are dependent on him or her for more than one half of your support, you can collect a Social Security benefit from the adult child’s record. Social Security pays monthly benefits to parents on the record of a deceased worker under the following conditions: • The parent must be at least 62 years old and not have remarried since the worker’s death; • The parent cannot be entitled to his/her own, higher Social Security benefit;

survivors insurance benefits for workers and their families. If you’re like most people, the value of the survivors insurance you have under Social Security is probably more than the value of any individual life insurance you may own. Moreover, you don’t even need to sign up for a separate policy; by working and paying Social Security tax, you are most likely already insured without even knowing it. Family members who may be able to receive survivors benefits based on your work record include a widow or widower, unmarried children up to age 19 and still in high school, and under certain circumstances, stepchildren,

Robert Allen Massey, 90, passed away at Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles, Washington, shortly before 1:00 A.M., July 26, 2015 from Myelodysplasia. He was born in Rutherford, Tennessee to Orville and Frances Massey. Bob grew up in Nashville and graduated high school in 1943. In August, 1943 he joined the Army and served with General Patton’s Third army, 76th Infantry Division. In 1945 Bob transferred to the military radio broadcast unit and began his radio career at an Armed Forces Radio station in Frankfurt, Germany broadcasting entertainment to the soldiers stationed there. Returning to the states after the war, Bob settled in Florida and began his stateside radio career at WJNO. Throughout the years Bob lent his voice to several stations including WWPG, WIOD, and WSTU in Florida, KHAR in Anchorage, KIT in Yakima and KBRD in Tacoma. In 1992, Bob retired to Sequim with his wife Peggy. In 2008, Bob helped launch KSQM 91.5 Radio, a non-profit, all volunteer radio station in Sequim. His show was the first to air on the new station where he is known as The “Classy” Bob Massey. In March of this year, on his 90th birthday, Bob was honored as the oldest living broadcaster in the United States. Bob is preceded in death by his wife Margaret (Peggy).

Odds, ends from the editor’s desk After losing significant federal funding for transportation projects, legislators in Olympia agreed to increase a state tax on fuel from 37.5 cents to 44.5 cents; that price bump started this Saturday. But as Jim Camden, reporter for the Spokesman Review in Spokane points out, drivers won’t necessarily see that bump right away. “Motorists don’t directly pay the tax on an individual purchase at the pump; it’s not like a sales tax on a pair of shoes,” Camden wrote last week. “It’s collected from distributors and passed on to retailers, who ostensibly factor it Editor’s into their prices. For a Corner gas station, the 7-cent tax increase — which will Michael Dashiell drive the total federal and state tax on a gallon of regular or premium to 62.9 cents in Washington — is just part of the equation that goes into setting the price at the pump.” The biggest cost of gasoline is the wholesale price, which fluctuates, Tim Hamilton, executive director of the Automotive United Trades Organization, said. The wholesale price often goes down in August, which could mask the tax increase, but it could go up, and the price at the pump could jump more than 7 cents. For those interested in the fluctuations of gas prices, here’s another interesting tidbit: The price of crude oil is quietly crumbling once again. CNNMoney reports that oil has plunged nearly 20 percent in July and it briefly dipped below $47 a barrel last week. Why? The American energy revolution has created a massive supply glut and the tepid global economy is depressing demand growth. That means we’ll see sub-$2 gallons of gas at thousands of U.S. stations by December, according to Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service. Industry insiders expect these dynamics to persist, keeping energy prices cheap for some time, CNN reports.

Kudos for P.A., love for Chattanooga The battle for supremacy of social media-driven popularity was fun and all, but the communities of Port Angeles and Chattanooga, Tenn., are buddies now. A warming, heartfelt groundswell of support is going to the Tennessee town beset by tragedy after the shooting deaths of five servicemen there on July 16. Leslie Kidwell Robertson of Revitalize Port Angeles reached Chattanooga last week with 16 banners heavy with ink, featuring messages from peninsula residents showing support for their support. Robertson and company led an effort to battle Chattanooga in May as the two cities were finalists in Outside magazine’s “Best Town Ever” online contest. Chattanooga won the contest. Just a few weeks later, the shootings led members of the the Revitalize group to reach out, starting with a single sympathy banner at Port Angeles City Hall. According to the Peninsula Daily News, Robertson was met in Tennessee by Vicki Hawkins, a Port Angeles native who now lives in Chattanooga, and the two visited Chattanooga National Cemetery where two of the murdered service members were buried, and to the two memorials where the July 16 shootings took place, Robertson said.

Bertha Cooper’s column (“Interpretive piggery-pokery,” Sequim Gazette, July 8, page A-12) was spot on. Until the American people embrace the “moral imperative” of providing care there will be opposition to the Affordable Care Act/ Obamacare. When Congress passed the ACA, they caved in to insurance companies and created the insurance exchange with the result that we now have a system that is making it impossible for many Americans to afford the insurance offered. The higher and lower income people can participate in the health insurance exchange, while families and individuals who are in the middle cannot afford the cost of the insurance and the co-pays and deductibles that are part of it. Call me a pessimist, but I cannot see the U.S. adopting a single-payer health care system in my lifetime. But, I do have hope that Washington state could have single-payer health care. How do we do it? At the grass roots level, we need dialogue about this moral imperative and what it means to us. We need to convince our state representatives and senators that we are serious and they need to

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Time for single-payer health care system is now

figure out how to accomplish single-payer health care. If we can’t achieve this alone, we need to form a Northwest health network with other states. We need to think out of the box, but we need to figure it out. The Peninsula Daily News recently reported that insurance companies wanted to increase their rates by double digits in the coming year. That means the insurance companies will make more money on the health insurance exchanges next year and I don’t see them stopping with that increase. The ACA was a start, but we need to make it better. Tommie Schwent Port Angeles

County treasurer is hardly a hero “Barkhuis deserves debt of gratitude,” said the headline for a letter in last week’s Gazette (July 29, page A-8). It referred to Clallam County Treasurer Selinda Barkhuis’ arrogant threat to refuse payment of valid warrants on grants authorized by the commissioners because she disagrees with how they allocated the funds. Debt of gratitude? Wrong!

Barkhuis deserves a legal crack across the knuckles and the sooner the better. She’s on a power trip, one that has carried her onto shaky ground. First, know that the county commissioners approved two grants — to the Port of Port Angeles and the City of Port Angeles — properly and legally. Both the county auditor and prosecutor checked the grants, and said so. It’s not the treasurer’s job to decide what’s legal and what is not; that’s the auditor’s job. It’s the treasurer’s job — mandated by law — merely to pay the bills. Second, County Prosecutor Mark Nichols actually wrote a 16-page legal opinion, affirming that everything commissioners McEntire, Chapman and Peach did was legal. Barkhuis obviously thinks she knows more than all five public officials combined. Yeah. Sure. After all, she says, she’s an attorney. To which, I say, so what? Does that make her more qualified than the county prosecutor and his staff? Who died and left her in charge of running the courthouse? Isn’t it bad enough that she has already “trespassed” into Auditor Shoona Riggs’ territory? Does she also have to thumb her nose at Shoona and other officials?

Post-war general acceptance of adultery and abortion, the weakening of divorce laws, and despite three wars, consideration of communists simply as ultraliberal Democrats lead to now-labeled “secularism,” which destroys both religion and the family. The attacks on marriage clearly would leave

open marriage to multiple partners, of the same or other sex. It would lead to marriage between man or woman and their pet, be it dog or cat … sheep or goat. Or of parent with under-age child, etc. The attacks on family and religion by ideologue-court decisions toss away 5,000 years of developing reasonable morals and ethics to maintain civil society.

Getting to the point Under all the sterile statistics of numbers of needles and lives lost or saved are the numbers of lives spending their days and nights satisfying their addiction. Has Public Health or funders of same given up their role in primary prevention, stopping the addiction at the onset or secondary prevention, assuring early intervention and treatment? Is providing sterile needles all we can do? Is providing 9-1-1 EMTs with the antidote to death all we can do? Of course, these are valuable measures. We’ve saved lives and engaged in conversations but then where can we send them for sustained treatment? Our county’s mental

health system is so overburdened, understaffed and underfunded that it’s practically closed for business. There are too many incidents of people already seeking mental health help being unable to get help to believe it will be there in time for the person living out his/her existence in the cocoon of drug-seeking, sterile needles and deathdefying antidotes. Maybe that’s why we focus on needles, but we all know that the fallout from drug addiction is more than needles in the street or on the toilet; it’s pointless lives that eventually come to rest heavily on the health and integrity of a community. Can we afford to miss the point? Bertha D. Cooper is retired from a 40-plus year career as a health care administrator focusing on the delivery system as a whole.

It’s been a rough past few weeks for Olympic Peninsula sports icon Scooter Chapman. The longtime sports announcer on KONP 1450, former Sequim Gazette columnist, sports editor at the Peninsula Daily News/ Port Angeles Evening News and sports referee/umpire (among other things) had a bad spill at his home not long ago that tore muscles and ligaments off the top of both knees. He went to recover at Crestwood Health and Rehabilitation Center in May and only recently did Chapman, now in his early 80s, get clearance to go home. In late July he was back on the job, announcing for the Sonny Sixkiller Husky Golf Classic at The Cedars at Dungeness golf course — sharing memories and ribbing the former UW jock greats while enjoying the view near the first tee box.

HitchBOT, a hitchhiking robot — yeah, you read that right — that made cross-country trips across Canada, the Netherlands and Germany, made it all of 300 miles across the U.S. But two weeks after beginning its U.S. trip in Boston, the robot was vandalized in Philadelphia and that ended the robot’s short hitching career. HitchBOT was developed as a kind of social experiment. Since it doesn’t move and traveled by itself, it required friendly folks to take it from place to place. For the most part, its developers report, things went smoothly. It got to sit in the cockpit of an Air Canada plane, visit Dutch art galleries and, in the U.S., got a trip to Fenway Park and midtown Manhattan. And then, it got to Philly.

Atmospheric Administration, in 2013 the Gulf of Alaska’s usual winter storms didn’t show up to cool down the Pacific, which gave rise to an expanse of warmer water. Since then it has spread to the entire North Pacific from California to Canada, spanning 2,000 miles from Baja, Mexico, to Alaska, and stretching 500 miles wide. In addition to killing off scores of species, the blob also is having some adverse effects on others: Brown pelicans are refusing to mate while spreading algal blooms, shutting down commercial and recreational fishing and generally unfavorable conditions for salmon and other coldloving marine species. “We’re seeing warm water everywhere, from Olympia to Bellingham,” Christopher Krembs, Department of Ecology senior oceanographer, said. Read more about these changes at ecologywa.blogspot.com/2015/07/ puget-sound-waters-left-sweltering. html. Could it get stranger? Scientists say yes. The “blob” likely is getting a warm push from the cyclical warm-water weather event El Niño this winter. Scientists say there is a greater than 90 percent chance of El Niño this winter and an 80 percent chance it lasts into the spring, KOMO News’ Scott Sistek says. “This winter may already be a lost cause for much in the way of lowland snow and puts serious doubts into getting much in the way of mountain snow either,” Sistek wrote in his blog (www. komonews.com/weather/blogs/scott) last week. Not that it’s all bad news. Associated Press writers note that, with

From page A-12

regard to this year’s El Niño, “In California, they’re counting on it to end a historic drought; in Peru, they’ve already declared a pre-emptive emergency to prepare for devastating flooding. It’s both an economic stimulus and a recession-maker. And it’s likely to increase the price of coffee, chocolate and sugar … Around the world, crops fail in some places, thrive elsewhere. Commercial fishing shifts. More people die of flooding, fewer from freezing. Americans spend less on winter heating. The global economy shifts.” And then, there’s the possibility of a “Sharknado” happening here in the Pacific Northwest. (See Sistek’s July 22 blog post.)

River Road man accused of animal abuse pleads not guilty Allegations could mean up to $10K fine or 2 years in jail Sequim Gazette staff

Sequim man Iradj “John” Dashti, 61, pleaded not guilty to two counts of alleged misdemeanor animal cruelty in the second degree at his arraignment hearing in Clallam County District Court on July 31. Clallam County deputies first seized two donkeys, two sheep and four goats from Dashti’s property at 21 Serenity Lane off River Road on June 24 due to low levels of sanitation. Deputies later reported to Dashti’s property on June 29 to investigate a dead, 100-pound pig, that was later found to be fed and watered. However, deputies obtained another

From page A-1 budgets without the significant cuts that were warned about because of the improving economy throughout the state,” Jones told the county commissioners July 21 at the Midyear Budget Review Status public hearing. JONES Instead of relying on nearly $758,300 of reserve funds to cover expenditures, county officials are expected to use $212,043, according to the mid-year budget review executive summary. “Most of the positive change was on the revenue side of the equation,” he said.

search warrant and seized the rest of Dashti’s animals including a dog, quail, pigs and rabbits except for a few free-range chickens they were unable to capture. The animals now reside at Chimacum’s Central Valley Animal Rescue. Prior to seizing the animals, Dashti was given multiple warnings by Animal Control Deputy Tracey Kellas regarding animal care in the past month. Attention to Dashti’s property heightened folDASHTI lowing an anonymous online post showing photos of carcasses on Dashti’s property. Dashti told the Sequim Gazette in a previous interview that he wasn’t hiding anything and that some of his animals were killed when tree branches fell on them during last winter’s storm

Jones attributes the increase in revenue to the local economy performing “better” than expected, thus bringing in a greater amount of sales tax coupled with more money generated from construction permits, camping fees, better investment interest and jail fees. Additionally, major costs associated with constructing a public sewer system throughout the Urban Growth Area in Carlsborg have been moved into next year’s budget. Not only does the greater revenue reduce the amount of General Fund reserve spending, but it also assists with offsetting the costs of returning about 200 union employees from 37.5-hour workweeks to 40 hours that began May 1. The decision to up the hourly workweek of many employees and therefore extend courthouse hours was a part of a plan developed by the county commissioners to spend down $2.51 million from the General Fund in

that flooded his property. Dashti said he kept some carcasses because a Seattle company buys them for $60-$80 each. However, Chief Criminal Deputy Brian King said Dashti also told law enforcement he’s kept the carcasses as collections and for research, too. Dashti must pay a $250 bail bond by Aug. 7 or face jail time. His readiness hearing tentatively is set for Sept. 8. His misdemeanor charges could lead Dashti to pay up to $5,000 per charge or up to 364 days in jail per charge. Animal cruelty in the second degree means a “person knowingly, recklessly or with criminal negligence inflicts unnecessary suffering or pain upon an animal.” Dashti’s landlord filed to evict Dashti but he had not been evicted from the property as of Aug. 4.

an attempt to stimulate the local economy. As a part of the plan, the commissioners unanimously approved a resolution to notify the Washington Department of Revenue of a countywide tax holiday that began July 1. As a result, the county’s optional sales tax rate was reduced within the unincorporated county from 8.4 percent to 8.2 percent. Despite the positive budget forecast, Mike Doherty, a former county commissioner, expressed concerns with county officials and the commissioners’ recent decision and procedures associated with spending since his retirement more than six months ago. Based on the county commissioners’ recent discussions to reduce public processes, Doherty urged the county commissioners to go the other way and include the public more. “A lot of the big revenue, big spending decisions should be handled in that public process,” he said.

Doherty also noted his belief in “there’s a great benefit in keeping strong reserves, contingency funds and revenues flowing.” However, eyeing last year’s inflation rate of 1.7 percent in Seattle in contrast to the interest return rate on idle cash within t he count y, County Commissioner Jim McEntire said, “There’s negative 0.8 perMcENTIRE cent return on money that’s in the bank,” or what he refers to as “economic dry-rot.” “Based on that, I have often said it’s far better for us and good public policy to get that money out of the bank and put it to work in a positive way for our citizens,” McEntire told his colleagues during the public hearing, which also marks the start of the formal 2016 budget process.

Irrigation group urges curb on water use Sequim Gazette staff

While rainfall numbers are close to normal averages, a lack of snowpack in the Olympic Mountains has irrigation ditch managers concerned about water levels in the Dungeness River. Ben Smith, president of the Dungeness River Agricultural Water Users Association, is asking all waters users — particularly those using irrigation ditch water — to implement conservation methods immediately. “Sequim’s higher than normal winter temperatures has left us with critically low levels of snow pack in the mountains,” Smith said. “The snow pack that feeds the Dungeness River was at a maximum of 10 percent of normal during the winter and was 0 percent by May 1 — the beginning of summer and irriga-

tion season. The Sequim-Dungeness Valley Water Users Association is relying on all residents in the valley to refresh their commitment to water conservation.” Smith asks irrigation ditch water users to stop supplying water to all ponds, watering lawn and yard plants, watering home fruit and vegetable gardens that could be adequately watered from a well, and to stop or reduce watering of golf courses, playgrounds and parks. Smith also asks irrigation companies and districts to reduce water diversions from the Dungeness River to ensure that a level of 62 cubic feet per second (cfs) of water remains. On July 24, the river dropped below 120 cfs. “This low level has triggered our first tier drought response,” Smith said. “Water is a limited resource and

ter Users Association to responsibly and efficiently use the limited water that we have (and) every farmer who uses irrigation water is acutely aware of our drought situation and is taking steps to conserve water. “Unfortunately this year, with the low snow pack, this will not be enough.” Smith said city residents can help by using less water, so that less water will have to be drawn from the city wells. In turn, less water will be drawn from the Dungeness River to replenish the aquifers supplying these wells. That holds true for those with private wells, Smith said. “Any water you save will draw less from the river to refill the aquifer,” he said. “Persons using water from any irrigation ditch or canal, who can decrease their usage, will allow more water to be left in the river.”

A 2007 Sequim High School graduate and Sequim native is serving aboard one of the U.S. Navy’s nuclearpowered ballistic missile submarines, living and working at a Navy base in Silverdale. Petty Officer Second Class Patrick O’Sullivan is a machinist’s mate on the USS Louisiana (SSBN 743), which is based in Silverdale, where he is one of the nuclear reactor chemists. “I enjoy working with chemistry and being able to take a sample and describe it to people and help them understand it,” O’Sullivan said. The USS Louisiana is one of the Navy’s 14 Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines, also referred to as “boomers,” which patrol the world’s oceans for months at a time, serving as undetectable launch platforms for submarine-launched ballistic missiles. Together with land-based missiles and strategic bombers, the Navy’s Ohio-class submarines are part of the nation’s strategic nuclear deterrence triad. Because of their stealth, they are considered the most survivable component of the triad. Ohio-class submarines like the USS Louisiana have a very high operational availability due to an innovative crewing concept. Each submarine has two crews, Blue and Gold, which alternate manning the submarines and taking them on patrol. This maximizes the sub’s strategic availability, reduces the number of submarines required to meet strategic requirements and allows for proper crew training, readiness and morale. O’Sullivan serves on the USS Louisiana Gold Crew.

As a sailor with numerous responsibilities, O’Sullivan said he is learning about himself as a leader, sailor and a person. “Being in the Navy has given me a higher sense of how to organize and manage my priorities,” O’Sullivan said. “I’ve also developed better study habits.” With about 15 officers and 140 enlisted comprising the submarine’s company, jobs are highly varied. Each member of the crew plays a role in keeping the submarine’s mission ready — this includes everything from washing dishes and preparing meals to handling weaponry and maintaining the propulsion system. “We protect and defend America from below the world’s oceans and no other nation can match our capabilities,” said Rear Adm. Dave Kriete, commander of Submarine Group Nine in Bangor. “Our submarine force could not thrive without the professionalism and skill of our sailors,” Kriete said. “These men and women, whose mission is often unsung because of its discreet nature, represent the finest characteristics of our nation’s military. Their families, friends and the entire nation should be extremely proud of what they do every day.” O’Sullivan said he is proud

Fire chiefs now on duty Three promoted in fire district ceremony Sequim Gazette staff

Ben Andrews officially became the Clallam County Fire District 3 fire chief on Tuesday, Aug. 4, and with help from his dad Richard Andrews and Fire Commissioner James Barnfather he received his new badge at a special ceremony in the fire station headquarters. Andrews also recognized Eric Quitslund for becoming new Assistant Chief of Logistics and Tony Hudson the new Assistant Chief of Operations. They join Assistant

Chief Roger Moeder, the fire marshal. Andrews was formerly the Assistant Chief of Operations, Hudson was formerly Assistant Chief of Logistics and Quitslund was formerly the volunteer coordinator and in charge of policy and procedures. Andrews follows Fire Chief Steve Vogel who retired earlier this year after 34 years of service in Sequim with nearly 15 of those as fire chief. Andrews joined the Sequim crew in 2003 after 10 years as a lieutenant with Jefferson County Fire District 3. On hand for the ceremony were family and friends of the recently promoted along with fire commissioners and fellow firefighters and EMTs.

of the work he is doing as a member of the crew, protecting America on the world’s oceans. “I like that I get to learn a lot about things I wouldn’t have otherwise,” O’Sullivan said. “My job has given me opportunities to advance and given me talents I wouldn’t have otherwise had. Also, being able to operate a nuclear reactor is pretty cool.” In addition to the USS Louisiana, seven other Ohioclass ballistic missile submarines are home ported in Kitsap County, along with three Seawolf-class submarines and two Ohio-class guided missile submarines that are all assigned to the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Fast, maneuverable and technically advanced, submarines are some of the most versatile ships in the Navy. They are capable of conducting a variety of missions that can include engaging enemy vessels in the sea, launching missiles at targets on land, providing a platform for SEALS to operate from and conducting intelligence and surveillance around the world. Because of the demanding nature of service aboard submarines, sailors like O’Sullivan are accepted only after rigorous testing and observation that can last several months. The crews have to be highly motivated and adapt quickly to changing conditions. “The most rewarding thing about serving in the Navy is the pride in serving my country and knowing the sacrifices you make are appreciated,” O’Sullivan said. The Navy is developing a follow-on submarine to replace the Ohio-class, which will begin to reach the end of their service lives in the late 2020s. The Ohio Replacement Ballistic Missile Submarines will remain in service through the 2080s. The Ohio Replacement submarine will continue to fulfill the country’s critical strategic deterrence mission while incorporating costPatrick O’Sullivan competes for Sequim High School at the effective and reliable systems 2007 Washington state wrestling tournament.

From gorillas to the Oregon Trail to vineyards, Richard and Julie Tarbuck of Sequim find their travels take them anywhere and everywhere in the world of stamps. The recently married couple, one a seasoned collector and the other a newbie, each seek out their own fancies in the hobby. They, like hundreds of others, will explore the 22nd Strait Stamp Show on Aug. 8 with dealers, collection appraisals, free stamps and giveaways. At the show in the Sequim Masonic Lodge, collectors like the Tarbucks will share 20-plus displays of stamps such as a history of the postal system in Clallam County and the history of nursing, too. Richard said his interest piqued

How do you find your next great read? Word of mouth, blurbs, reviews? Do you judge books by their covers? Perhaps you seek out stories of immigrants, coming-of-age tales or Pulitzer Prize winners. You just might discuss the question with your local library staff! Librarian and author Nancy Pearl helps us think about our reading proclivities by organizing them into four “frames” or “doorways” — story, character, language and setting. Thinking about which of these form the biggest wedges of your reading satisfaction “pie” will help library staff help you find that next great read. With the caveat that there’s no arguing taste, here are some suggestions for great re a d s t h at demonstrate each frame. For depth of character, Colm Tóibín’s fictional portrayal of American writer Henry James, “The Master,” led this reader to Henry James’ “The Portrait of a Lady.” Each novel closely examines the characters’ inner workings with glorious language and explores the depths of duty, freedom, marriage and death. For more gorgeous language, try Toni Morrison. Artist Kara Walker writes of the Nobel Laureate’s “Tar Baby,” “Toni Morrison has always written for the ear, with a loving attention to the textures and sounds of words.” See also Jenny Offill’s page-turner of a love story “Dept. of Speculation.” According to Booklist, “(Offill) is … so precisely articulate that her perfect, simple sentences vibrate like violin strings.” If what you look for in a book is a plot-driven, self-propelling story, “The Boys in t he Boat : Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics,” by Daniel James Brown,

General garden advice August is the hottest, driest month of the year; monitor your plants and keep them well watered. Weed seeds will germinate fast in warm, moist flower and vegetable beds. Pull weeds while they are small before

• Annuals — Deadhead plants to keep them blooming through fall. Fertilize plants in containers every two weeks. • Bulbs, Corms, Rhizomes and Tubers — Divide and replant iris. When cutting lilies for bouquets, leave twothirds of the stem, as they regenerate their bulbs from the stem. Fertilize dahlias using a low-nitrogen fertilizer after watering. Plant fall crocus for late-September bloom. • Lawns — Mow the lawn and deep water at least once this month. Do not fertilize this month. • Perennials — Fertilize and water fall-bloomers such as asters and chrysanthemums using a low-nitrogen fertilizer. Prune roses for a pleasing shape; remove crossing branches and work to open up the center of the plant for good air circulation. Pull off sprouts arising below the graft union (suckers) and remove leaves with black spot; do not compost. This is the last month for planting roses; be sure to mulch after planting, but do not fertilize. Shear lavender to reshape it after blooming. • Shrubs and Trees — Do not plant trees and shrubs until fall. Leave them in pots and water regularly.

Caring for your edible garden: • Berries — Clean up, fertilize and water June-bearing strawberries after harvest; remove weak, old and crowded plants and narrow rows to 8-12 inches. Prune out second-year raspberry and blackberry canes (canes that just fruited) after harvest. Trellis first-year canes of trailing blackberries unless you live at a higher elevation. Harvest blueberries 2-3 days after the entire berry turns blue. • Fruit trees — Apples are ripe when the seeds turn brown; plums, when fruit is slightly soft; pears, when fruit is full-sized but still hard. • Vegetables — Remove tomato plants that show signs of late blight such as water-soaked spots on leaves, stems or fruit. Remove new flowers on tomatoes and winter squash plants to encourage ripening of mature fruit. Force tomato plants to put energy into ripening by pruning 4 inches off growing tips of vegetation. If squash and cucumber plants show powdery mildew, cut off affected areas. Harvest potatoes when the foliage dies back. Harvest garlic when 4-5 leaves are still green. Lift garlic bulbs gently, brush off dirt, cure until shoots and roots are dry (4-6 weeks). Compiled from contributions by Washington State University certified, Clallam County Master Gardeners.

Learn how to grow bluberries On Saturday, Aug. 8, veteran Master Gardener Jeanette StehrGreen will talk about growing blueberries on the North Olympic Peninsula at the Woodcock Demonstration Garden in Sequim. The presentation, which takes place from 10-11 a.m., is part of the Class Act educational series sponsored by WSU Clallam County Master Gardeners every other Saturday during the growing season. Stehr-Green will talk about the general types of blueberries and recommended varieties for the Pacific Northwest. She will describe the ideal planting site for blueberries, including soil acidity, and how to plant them. She will outline general care for blueberries and demonstrate a simple step-by-step approach to pruning blueberries for productivity. The Woodcock Demonstration Garden is at 2711 Woodcock Road in Sequim. The garden demonstrates a broad range of ornamental and edible plants, water-wise gardening, fire-safe landscaping, composting and garden design. The Demonstration Garden has a covered outdoor pavilion where educational programs are held from May-October. Class Act presentations are free and open to the public. For more information about the series or the presentation on growing blueberries, call 417-2279.

comes highly recommended. This is a great story to enjoy with friends: In addition to individual copies, NOLS also offers this book as a set, with 10 copies for members of your book group. For more information about this book kit, visit the library catalog at www.nols.org and search for “Boys in the Boat kit.” Lastly comes place. Journalist and novelist Geraldine Brooks takes the reader on a journey through time and place in “People of the Book.” With a page-turning plot, she wends her way through Vienna, Venice, Barcelona, Seville and the former Yugoslavia. For something completely different, visit Roz Chast’s parents’ cluttered apartment in “Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?” — a poignant graphic novel about her parents’ last days. One might dare add a doorway for books that question, like Phil Klay’s National Book Award-winning collection of short stories, “Redeployment,” which chronicles the experiences of soldiers and veterans of the Iraq War. As reviewed by Booklist, “Redeployment is most remarkable … for the questions it asks about the aims and effects of war stories themselves, and Klay displays a thoughtful awareness of this literary tradition.” Have questions? Join in the conversation at your library! To reach the friendly staff at the Sequim Library, call 683-1161 or stop in for a visit at 630 N. Sequim Ave. The library always is open at www.nols.org.

Sequim City Band concert welcomes guest group from Kitsap County The Sequim City Band hosts The Hometown Band from Kitsap County at its upcoming concert, set for 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 9, in the James Center For the Performing Arts, just north of Carrie Blake Park. Dueling bands? There is no competition, but rather some camaraderie as the visiting band performs on its own, followed by the Sequim City Band — and likely some combined pieces. Under the direction of Tyler Benedict, the Sequim City Band plays the fitting “Northwest Overture” by Jay Chattaway and an arrangement by Percy Grainger of the English dance tune, “Country Gardens,” arranged by John Philip Sousa. Sousa is also featured in “The Black Horse Troop March.” Another great march set is “From Tropic to Tropic March” by R. Alexander and Karl L. King’s “Broadway One-Step” keeps the march toes tapping. The saxophone section gets to shine in “Five To Go,” a jazz quintet for saxes with band by Jack Bullock. The familiar cinematic piece, “Raiders March” by John Williams — from the Indiana Jones blockbuster “Raiders of the Lost Ark” — is on the menu and “Selections from Chicago” will appeal to not only movie but theater buffs as well. Other numbers such as “And All That Jazz,” the “Cell Block Tango” and “Roxie” are featured in a medley by John Kander and Fred Ebb.

Peninsula soccer rivalry hits the pitch Sunday Sequim-Port Angeles match set for Aug. 9 by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

Purple and gold versus green and white. Farming town versus the “big city.” East versus West … well, central (Clallam County). The natural rivalry between

Sequim and Port Angeles and the surging interest in soccer collide this weekend with the Super Cup, a matchup of local and recent residents of the two towns celebrating the “beautiful game.” The Cup is set for a 5 p.m. kickoff on Sunday, Aug. 9, at Peninsula

College’s Wally Sigmar Field, 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd., Port Angeles. Match attendees are asked for a donation of $5, with proceeds going to United Way. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. Quincy Byrne said the idea for something like this has been developing for years. “This was the first time, realistically, that we (could) do it,” Byrne

said. “Most Port Angeles players play in Sequim and vice versa. It’s just an idea to harness a healthy rivalry.” Byrne, a Sequim native, joined forces with Port Angeles’ Tim Tucker and got the proverbial ball rolling. All the momentum, however, already was in the soccer community. Tucker said that when he came to

Rain outs end Wilder’s season early Wilder Baseball, a select squad of top prep baseball players from across the North Olympic Peninsula, saw its 2015 season end with the rain. Wilder concluded its summer by waiting out the rain at the fourth annual GSL Clackamas Community College/Clark College Invitational in Vancouver and Battle Ground in late July, the Peninsula Daily News reports. Wilder played two games at the tournament, finishing with a 1-1 record. Its final game was a 5-4 win over the Federal Way Warriors on Friday. Wilder finishes the season with a 20-11-1 overall record. The summer included a thirdplace finish at the Senior Babe Ruth state tournament. The team included Sequim-area players Dusty Bates, James Grubb, Evan Hurn, Ian Quast and Tanner Rhodefer.

Sequim High track standout Waverly Shreffler recently was selected as the All-Peninsula Girls Track and Field MVP by the area’s coaches and the Peninsula Daily News sports staff.

SWGA group caps year with past, present honors Sequim Gazette staff

The Sunland Women’s Golf Association celebrated its 41st year by hosting and honoring all past captains at a luncheon. There were 14 past captains in attendance and each was presented with a gift. Kit Nill, captain in 1982, was the senior honoree. The luncheon followed the regular

Thursday golf, with 10 of the past captains participating in the golf game. The game was Pandora’s Box, where teams of three had to look in a specially decorated box on the next tee to see whose score would be used for the game. First-place winners of the day was the team of Ruth Lowe, Gail Savage and Nancy Harlan, with a score of 105. Plans are under way for the Sept. 24

the peninsula eight years ago, the area’s adult recreation soccer league featured eight teams and just one of them featured predominantly Sequim players. Now? It’s 14 teams and mostly evenly spread between the communities. “It’s grown by leaps and bounds,” Tucker said. Hitting the pitch Sunday will be a number of those same recreation league players, plus what event organizers call “native sons” — those who lived in the area and may have played on the high school teams and now live in other communities, but who may want to return for the rivalry game. The idea, Tucker said, is to make an annual event much like what communities in England call a derby (pronounced “darby”) or a game between two rivals of close geographical proximity. “It’s a mega event; sometimes it’s more important to win that game (than any other),” Tucker said. Adding to the intrigue is a bet the teams are asking mayors of both communities (Candace Pratt in Sequim, Dan Di Guilio in Port Angeles) to make. The mayor representing the team that loses must wear the opposing team’s jersey and treat their counterpart to lunch. The event also will feature an honoring ceremony for Craig Owen, a longtime Port Angeles player who died recently, and Virgilio Pontes, a Sequim player originally from Portugal who died in August 2014. “We want to show the rest of the peninsula our soccer community,” Byrne said. So why will Sequim win? “We have better players. And we’re a little more organized, coaching-wise,” Byrne said. And why will Port Angeles win? “Port Angeles has soccer players,” Tucker said. “We are a bit older, but smarter … and we don’t need a coach.”

“Drive for the Cure Tournament,” one that benefits men and women on the Olympic Peninsula to get mammograms to assist in the early detection of breast cancer. This tournament is open to all men and women who would like to participate; membership in a golf club is not required. More details will be forthcoming as the date draws nearer.

The biggest fundraiser for the Sequim High School football team is back and once again the Wolves are going gold. The 2015 Gold Cards that feature discounts to a number of area businesses make their debut at the Rotary Club of Sequim’s Salmon Bake, set for noon-4 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 9, at the Sequim Boys & Girls Club (400 W. Fir St.). Starting Wednesday, Aug. 19, cards are distributed to the Sequim High football players and are available for purchase. The program culminates on Saturday, Aug. 29, with “Blitz Day” — where the players don their jerseys and from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. sell cards outside local establishments and in local neighborhoods. The $20 gold cards contain discounts that can be used repeatedly throughout the year. “People look forward to these all year,” SHS head football coach Erik Wiker said. “The profits that these cards generate go a long

way in helping to purchase safety equipment, uniforms and help fund summer camps,” SHS athletic director Dave Ditlefsen said. “We’ve run out of cards the past two years and we hope to do it again this year,” program coordinator Kathy Schock said. “The kids do a wonderful job getting out in the community to sell, the local merchants always make sure we have great deals and the community support has been fantastic.” If you miss out on purchasing a card from one of the football players, call or text Schock at 477-5070 during the span of the program. Any residual cards may be purchased from the Sequim High School main office after Sept. 17. Merchants on the 2015 Gold Card include Anytime Fitness, Black Bear Diner, The Cracked Bean Coffee Company, Dairy Queen, Domino’s, Gabby’s Java and Gourmet Grub, Hurricane Coffee Company, Jiffy Lube, Jose’s Famous Salsa, Moon Palace Restaurant, Oak Table Cafe, Papa Murphy’s, Reef Tanning, Smuggler’s Landing, Sunshine Cafe and Westside Pizza.

How are you feeling? Being sick is the pits. It makes you feel bad and it is a waste of time trying to get well. I know. I have just come off a series of sick days. While I am happy to be getting better, I am also happy for some things I have learned. There are some real lessons in people being sick … lessons for adults and lessons for children. Let’s start with the lessons for children. Like many lessons in life, children need to learn how to respond. Having two 14-year-olds

Fortunately, my husband was there to help them learn that to begin, saying good morning and asking how the sick person is feeling is well worthwhile. Most children don’t understand the importance of these few simple questions. As the receiver of these newly learned questions, it felt Parenting Matters good and it felt they were learnCynthia Martin ing. When they began to ask at around regularly, we found that other times in the day, it seemed they have some things to learn that they were learning. When about how to react to someone one learned, the second learn being sick in the house. soon after.

The first time I was up and about after being in bed awhile, one of the boys asked if he could help. That was new, too. Even learning to offer his arm when I was walking up or down some stairs showed his new response to illness. The hug he spontaneously offered with his best wishes for me to get well soon were something special. It was great when he was there and I needed help on putting on my shoes. He helped and you could feel the pride he felt while he helped. He even told his mom on the way home how he had helped with my shoes. That is bonding. We both loved it.

Brain Gain During this week, the kids explored outer space and learned what equipment would be needed to travel to, and potentially live on, another planet. Members used their wild imaginations to transport themselves to a new planet named “Planet-I.” Kids blast-

ed off into space, creating their own spacesuits and time capsules. In addition, they used clay to create a diorama to visually demonstrate their interpretation of “PlanetI.” Adding to the fun activities, participants learned more about Neil Armstrong’s journey into space. They watched the first moon landing video and afterward, the kids became very interested in finding a way to go to space. They wanted to see Earth from a whole new perspective! The members learned important debate skills while the group debated whether or not aliens are real. The outer space-themed activities nicely complemented morning camp’s focus on around the world.

Our early morning group found themselves exploring parts of Egypt and Africa. The campers had a lot of fun exploring Egyptian cultures. They spun themselves into mummies and learned about the mummification process and the purpose of the practice by early Egyptians. Hieroglyphics were explored and the campers had a chance to create their own — and try to communicate with their peers. As the week progressed, studies moved south to Africa where they sampled traditional snacks and the

popular South African dessert Malva Pudding. While exploring South Africa, the boys and girls learned about revolutionary Nelson Mandela and his work for a peaceful, better life. Camp staff encouraged members to behave with good character, a pillar of Boys & Girls Club programs.

What a week Sunrise Rotary was on the scene most of the week. On Monday, Rotarians constructed a large outdoor storage shed for the club’s garden and equipment needs. It went up in a day and the Rotarians were back putting paint and a roof on it. They didn’t leave without doing some parking lot housekeeping that was long overdue. At their regular morning meeting, they handed the shed keys over to Mary Budke. Members were able to harvest some “fruit of their labor.” Broccoli was picked from the garden and sent home with the garden club members and strawberries were enjoyed right there on the spot. Watermelon wasn’t grown in the garden but proved to be entertainment for the entire club this week. Members used rubber band pressure to slowly

squeeze a watermelon until the top popped off — not fun for our ever-patient janitor, but the kids squealed in anticipation of it “blowing up.” You can see firsthand by watching our video on Facebook. Our KinderKids ventured off to an outdoor concert produced by the North Olympic Library System where they got their groove on to the Brian Vogan Band as part of the concert series. As it does most weeks, the kids wrapped up their week with a field trip. The boys and girls visited a Sequim favorite, the Olympic Game Farm. The blue bus cruised through the driving tour and members were able to explore the petting zoo, aquarium, reptile room, material barn and nearby pens with donkeys, horses, turkeys and peacocks before returning to the club.

But it isn’t just the kids who need to learn; it is also the adults. I hadn’t thought about how exactly to offer help to a friend and how some ways work and others miss the mark. Several people asked how they could help and that is a tough question to answer. Others said they could bring me food if I wanted or they would watch the kids or clean the house but all of these are difficult to answer. How would you say, please bring me food and I like chicken or salmon best? That sounds way too crass. Maybe it would be nice to have a meal but it has to be asked in a different way. But someone else asked and it made sense. A friend came by and said, “I am bring dinner tomorrow for you and your family so be ready.” No questions. There was an assumed answer by the way she put it out to me. The next day, sure enough she arrived with food for a good-sized family and some leftovers. It was delicious and welcome. Another friend said, “I’ll bet you can use a good cleaning for your house after being down for three weeks.” She was right but I didn’t need to say that. She wasn’t asking, she was planning on sending in a house cleaner for a day. It was wonderful. So these are helpful and not so helpful ways to respond to the sick person you are around. Think about how you would feel if you were the sick one. How would it be easiest to respond? Think about what you should say to your children to teach them the best way to be around someone who is ill. Like many lessons in life, this has to be taught. If you ignore it, where does your child learn how to be kind and thoughtful?

SEQUIM GAZETTE

OTA Children’s Theatre set to open ‘Alice in Zombieland’ Sequim Gazette staff

Olympic Theatre Arts opens its first Children’s Theatre production, “Alice in Zombieland,” written by Craig Sodaro on Friday, Aug. 7. Directed by Danny Willis and Bonne Smith, the play is about Alice, who is now a teen returning to Wonderland only to find all of the characters have been turned into zombies by the Wicked Witch of the West from Oz. The story offers a very creative mixing of elements from two classic stories and some comedic stage action from a host of zombies. Willis has been involved with children’s theater groups since age 8. “I have always had such fun working in theater and I really wanted to share that with these children,” Willis said.

“We have a cast of 25 from ages 7 to 16 and they are the best. They listen, they give creative input and they laugh, we all laugh a lot — it’s a comedy, you know!” Smith has a special affinity for the zombies. She, Kaylee Ditlefsen and some helpful parents are creating costumes and special effects to bring the show to life. “Everyone wants to be a zombie, don’t they?” Smith said. All shows are performed on the Main Stage at Olympic Theatre Arts Center, 414 N. Sequim Ave. The three show dates are Aug. 7 and 8 at 7:30 p.m. and Aug. 9 at 2 p.m. Reserved tickets are available online at www.olympictheatrearts.org or at the theatre box office, which is open 1–5 p.m., Monday-Friday. Cast members rehearse “Alice in Zombieland,” set to open Aug. 7. Submitted photo For more information, call 683-7326.

Masons

From page B-1 lodge to forget (the presentation),” he said. “We’ve got to do it right. It’s too important of a thing to let it go down in history (without documenting it).” Nine months later, the book was complete and Majors said many of the original and early members’ descendants were able to proof the biographies. In 100 years, Sequim’s lodge has hosted nearly 700 members, Majors said, so for the book he had to narrow his biographies down to mostly the Worshipful Masters with a few other instrumental members. Majors and his wife researched obituaries and family files from the museum and the lodge’s archives to find any information available. “(Worshipful Masters) are elected every year,” Majors said. “Some of the 96 were elected in back-to-back years or some came back like (Richard H. “Dick” Bekkevar (2002) who was followed by his son (James R. “Jim” Bekkevar one year (2003).” The Bekkevars, for example, were one of the families to have a family file at the museum. Digging for so many people’s biographies was a lot of work, Majors said, but he hopes existing and future Masons learn the history behind their lodge and its leaders. “The members of this lodge helped create this town,” he said. With the museum exhibit, Beverly Majors said she took a broader approach featuring

all 96 Worshipful Masters’ photos with the year(s) they served, a blurb about their time in Sequim and some historical photographs and artifacts centered on Masonry. Some of the artifacts include an original document from original Worshipful Master Charles F. Seal when he became the Master of the lodge, former Worshipful Master Marvin L. Conn’s lambskin apron awarded to Masters upon election (1994) and more. Beverly said Conn’s item is a rarity because many former

Masters are often buried with their aprons.

Origins Sequim’s Masonic Lodge has featured an array of people and leaders including scientists, a stuntman, educators, politicians, businessmen, a veterinarian and more. The idea of forming a Dungeness lodge was first discussed in 1906 with Port Angeles Lodge No. 69, Majors notes, but nothing happened until nine years later with the Sequim Lodge forming. At first, meetings were held in the second story of the Sequim Tire Shop/Gas

Station until the club built its first lodge in 1931 on the southwest corner of Sequim Avenue and Alder Street on land donated by Seal. Its current lodge was built in 1987 at 700 S. Fifth Ave. on land donated by John F. Kirner (1958 Master). The Masons also have several other groups that fall under its umbrella, including the Shriners, the Order of the Eastern Star for women, DeMolay International for boys, the Scottish Rite and the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls. They also are active in the community as an organization by providing annual college scholarships for Sequim seniors and have awarded nearly $900,000 to about 600 students since 1977. Masons also support numerous local nonprofits and provide free health screenings and identification for children. While Freemasonry remains one of the oldest fraternal societies with private meetings and secret handshakes and words, Majors said to be a member, you just have to ask. “(Members) are supposed to lead upon example with good works and such and impress upon other people with those good deeds where they ask, “How do I become a member of this ancient, honorable institution,” Majors said. The lodge hosts a public coffee chat every Thursday at 10 a.m. For more information on the Sequim Masonic Lodge No. 213, visit www.bluelodgewa.org/sequim213. For more information about the museum exhibit, visit www.macsequim.org.

Stamps

From page B-1 travels in the Navy to seek out unique stamps. However, he recalls one opportunity while serving in Vietnam. “I had a year in Vietnam and I remember jumping in a jeep with a machine gun and armed escorts in Nha Trang to come back to an old idea … buy some stamps,” he said. They remain in his collection today.

No rules

Julie has done some traveling of her own but stamps weren’t much of a thought for the retired medical worker except to lick and send away until she met her husband. While some may look to complete a certain collection, Julie went with a topic, gorilla stamps from countries she’s visited. “I was surprised to find Japan had a gorilla stamp,” she said. “It’s in a lot of other countries, too.” As she explored the hobby, gorillas grew into African masks and into costumes and now vineyards and grapes, which she intends to compile into a display for the Sequim show. “Whatever interests you, that’s what you collect,” Julie said. “There are no rules.” Richard said his more recent collections have come from all over the map with a focus on Antarctica, U.S. stamps on the Oregon Trail and New Guinea. “I got to thinking my father served in New Guinea in World War II and it triggered me,” he said.

Masons and stamps

Many staples are included at Sequim’s stamp show each year including the annual cancellation stamp. This year it honors the Sequim Masonic Lodge in its centennial year. The lodge has hosted the show for most of its tenure. “You’ll find Masons in stamps all around the world like George Washington, Ben Franklin and John Wayne,” Richard said. Visitors come from all over for the show, too, he said, including collectors from Canada and across the Pacific Northwest. The show features a wide variety of new and old stamps and free appraisals of collections. “So bring in your book from Grandma’s house,” Richard said. As always, club members donate stamps for a free children’s table of stamps, but collectors can buy them for 1 cent each just in case you have some spare change. For more information on the club and/or show, visit www.straitstamp.org.
