SARC leaders announced a Sept. 30, 2016, closure date for the facility earlier this year.

Myra is a SWEETHEART! But... she does have her issues... Myra is great with people, and fun to walk on a leash, but Myra does NOT like other dogs or cats! She MUST be an ONLY pet in her new home. She has never seriously injured another animal, but she will CHASE! Also, Myra MUST have a very well-FENCED yard. Even with her older age, and her missing a limb, Myra is still quite agile and energetic -- she WILL chew through a rope and/or climb a fence to pilot her own adventures through the neighborhood. Age: Almost 9 years Additionally, it is recommended that Myra be kenneled in the house when left alone. She has been adopted and returned once for doing damage to Breed: Chow mix the interior of the house when she accidentally closed herself in a bathroom while wandering around... Reason for being at shelter: Myra may be a challenge... But, with the right owner she’ll be a great dog! She just needs an experienced owner that can provide her with the kind of environment she needs to be safe and secure. Adoption fee (includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies vaccine, and a health check from a vet): $60 It’s complicated...

‘Emerald in the alley’ brings outdoors inside Sequim Gazette

“I’m so happy to be open,” said an ebullient Danielle Thompson, owner of the new Emerald Northwest Grill & Public House at 179 W. Washington St. in Sequim. “It’s been an 18-month process and a lifelong dream! I really love what I do and I’m so happy to share it with everybody!” Thompson, a 30-something Sequim native, has been in the restaurant business since her college days and upon her return to Sequim in 2006, worked as a server in several eateries. “I realized how much I loved the business — it doesn’t feel like work. Eventually, I decided I had a concept and I needed to go for it and do it,” Thompson said. She settled on a public house or pub because “a public house to me utilizes lots of local ingredients. I wanted a place locals could feel comfortable but also where tourists could get the Northwest experience, so the ‘Emerald in the alley’ has a little bit of something for everybody. ‘Northwest’ to me says freshness, the outdoors, mountains and water — to bring food to people in a fresher way.” Thompson proudly proclaims that she buys from as many local purveyors as possible, including Misty Isle Farm black Angus beef, Washington-grown pork and chicken, and fruits and vegetables from local growers such as

Nash’s Organic Produce. Even the ice cream and cheese are sourced from Washington and Oregon. “It was important to me to know where our ingredients come from,” Thompson said. “Head chef Cody Haeg, a local talent, possesses true culinary vision combined with traditional cooking techniques. He has created a menu that delights and satisfies, committed to providing high quality food prepared with integrity.” Since late spring, she has worked with designers and local craftsmen to create a Northwest feeling in the restaurant and its adjacent bar, with rich mahogany accents, a dual-sided fireplace, a soothing waterfall and a color palette of warm cream, soft grey and forest green. Several skylights keep the building bright and accent the high wood plank ceiling. The full-service barroom is cozy, embellished with a floor-to-ceiling, mirrored bar. “My concept was to bring the outdoors inside,” Thompson said. She added she’s quite pleased with the soft opening the Emerald had on its first day, Sept. 2, where her well-trained staff served 40 for lunch and 100 for dinner. The restaurant seats 85-90 and is airy and spacious. Next spring, Thompson will offer al fresco dining. The versatile menu, which includes gluten-free and vegetarian/vegan fare, features nine appetizers, several soups

Two longtime employees of Sequim’s Radio Shack recently have been promoted. John Graham has been promoted to sales manager and Rosanne Szintai has been promoted to officer manager. “With all of the recent changes to Radio Shack Corporation, their responsibilities have increased significantly,” owner Dave Lyle said. “We used to get about 4,000 different items from Radio Shack and now only about 1,000 of them are still available to us. This means that we have been working hard to find other sources for each of those products as we run out of the Radio Shack item. It’s a long, slow and ongoing process and John and Rosanne’s input and effort in this project has been critical.”

producers, processors and retailers eliminates many different zoning categories where the industry was once allowed. Among t he cha nges, but not limited to, state licensed recreational marijuana processors and producers are no longer allowed in areas zoned Rural Village, Rural Village Low, Carlsborg Village Commercial, Carlsborg Village Center, Carlsborg General Commercial, Tourist Commercial a n d Ur b a n Center. Early on in the process, following the public hearing held Sept. PEACH 8, and the positive responses heard through the public comments, Peach acknowledged his liking for the ordinance. “I’m in favor of the ordinance,” he said. The state Legislature passed Senate Bill 5052 in April, merging recreational and medical cannabis, but that wasn’t included in the adopted ordinance because Mary Ellen Winborn, Department of Community Development director, determined the planning commission was “too far into the process” of reviewing the ordinance only aimed at recreational. However, the likely need to address medical marijuana within the next year could be a “vehicle” for another conversation about the adopted ordinance and opportunity to gain public feedback after the regulations have been in place, Peach said. Both McEntire and Peach were prepared to support the staff-recommended ordinance, but given Chapman’s absence during the public hearing, the board decided to push the vote to Sept. 15.

From page A-1

Commission’s recommendation and county commissioner Mike Chapman opposed. The approved ordinance allows for the chapter titled “Recreational Marijuana” outlining the placement of and development standards for state-licensed recreational marijuana producers, processors and retailers will be included into the Clallam County Code. “It’s good that they sup p or t e d it ,” Ke v in LoPiccolo, Department of Community Development planning manager, said. “The planning commission came up with a good approach and an ordinance that recognizes recreational marijuana in the appropriate zones.” The permanent regulations will become effective Friday, Sept. 25, only two days before the interim ordinance is set to expire. “I’m not one to shy away from a difficult vote and I don’t think this one is a difficult vote,” McEntire said. “This ordinance is McENTIRE substantially more restrictive than the prior temporary ordinance, but it does allow for the main interest that I had in that large commercial farming activities are allowed under a conditional use permit process.” Throughout the ordinance drafting process McEntire remained persistent that areas zoned as Agricultural Retention would be included based on his desire to ensure local businesses rooted in agriculture not only “survive, but thrive,” he said.

City officials visit Naval Air Station Whidbey Island Signage on South Sequim Avenue to be updated by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Officials with the City of Sequim visited the Naval Air Station (NAS) on Whidbey Island late last month — a trip prompted by ongoing public concern associated with the Navy’s proposal to expand their electronic warfare training. Charlie Bush, the city’s new city manager, noted the group visit while giving his report at Monday’s city council meeting. “We learned a lot,” Bush said. “There are several flight paths near Sequim.” The training aimed at improving aircrew training for aviators from electronic warfare squadrons based at NAS Whidbey Island would include three mobile emitter vehicles, Bush explained. Although the vehicles are expected to travel throughout 15 locations within western portions of the Olympic Peninsula via U.S. Forest Service roads, according to Navy officials, the proposal doesn’t introduce new flight paths, he said. However, nearby residents continue to voice concerns regarding the existing training and the proposed plan, including noise pollution from the Navy’s EA 18G Growler aircraft, possible periodic closures of portions of Olympic National Forest, electromagnetic radiation exposure and potential adverse economic impacts. “We’re very concerned with the Growlers,” Sequim resident Doug

Goldie told the city council Monday night. Within a 25-day period, Goldie admitted to calling the Navy’s hotline 33 times with no call back in response to seemingly low-flying aircraft near his home in Blyn. The information provided by Goldie was contradictory to what city officials were told by Navy officials during their visit to the air station, Bush said, and thus told Goldie he would personally contact the Navy to inquire further. “The Navy has been consistently dishonest about this,” councilor Ken Hays, said. “They’re not being honest about their flight patterns and I think we need to continue to press them on the matter.”

Approved items, new signage Among the sustained concerns with the presence of Growlers overhead, the city council unanimously approved the renewal of a three-year contract between the

city and the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce to allow mobile food service vendors the option to locate at Centennial Place up to 10 times until October 2018. Additionally, councilors approved an ordinance aimed at amending the Sequim Municipal Code to allow city staff to move forward with upgrading the South Sequim Avenue area and specifically the motorist information signs. “The South Sequim Avenue entrance is cluttered with followthrough signs,” Karen KuznekReese, city clerk, said. The Washington State Department of Transportation requires all businesses with signs along U.S. Highway 101 to have followthrough signs upon exiting the highway and if a turn is needed, Kuznek-Reese said. In response, city staff plan to work with the participating businesses owners to bring their business’ signs into compliance with

the state highway requirements. Already, new signage backdrops were ordered from the city’s General Fund for the follow-through signs on South Sequim Avenue and Washington Street, costing $3,176. Fifteen businesses with signage on U.S. Highway 101 would require follow-through signs in the city. “Once completed, this will provide a more attractive entrance into the city, increase awareness for the business and provide consistent signage which conforms to the state guidelines,” Kuznek-Reese said. Based on the improvement costs incurred by the city, staff recommended a fee structure mirroring Clallam County’s, including a $200 installation fee and $35 annual permit fee. Any fees associated with the project are to be included in the fee ordinance scheduled for discussion by the city council on Sept. 28.

Ongoing matters Chris Hugo, City of Sequim director of community development, provided the city council with an overview of the effort to update the Sequim Comprehensive Plan. After months of review, the city’s planning commission still is evaluating the 2015 draft plan, but Hugo anticipates a recommendation from the commission by the end of September. “The goal is to have this voted on before the end of the year so everyone on the current city council can participate,” Hugo said. In hopes of beginning the public hearing process, Hugo plans to present the final draft to the city council on Oct. 12. Additionally, city officials con-

Habitat

From page A-1 Cyndi Hueth, executive director for Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County, said the volunteers are part of an effort to help the Sequim-Dungeness area again. She said Habitat’s local branch was founded in 1991 as the Dungeness Valley Habitat for Humanity and they worked to build nine homes but it’s been many years since they’ve done a project in the area. They opened an office in January in Downtown Sequim but without land in the Sequim-Dungeness area to develop a home for an inneed family, Hueth said they are pursuing neighborhood revitalization instead. “Neighborhood revitalization is actually happenHUETH ing across the United States with Habitat for Humanity,” she said. “We’re asking the community — what do you need? Habitat and the city aren’t going in telling you this is what you need.” The survey stems from a $5,000 grant from the Habitat for Humanity for Neighborhood Revitalization with another $3,500 coming from the Sequim Sunrise Rotary and a matching grant from the Rotary Foundation for a total of $12,000. Neighborhood Revitalization projects can include improving weatherization, helping with painting, landscaping, roof repair and more. Hueth said volunteers from the Sunrise Rotary,

Habitat for Humanity, City of Sequim, churches and students with the Sequim School District will walk streets, depending on turnout, from Sequim Avenue to Fifth Avenue on the north and south sides, from Cedar Street to Fir Street and Bell Street to Pine Street. “They’ll do an assessment of the neighborhoods to see what’s missing and what can be added,” she said. “We’ll get back together and see if we can find partners to help us.” Hueth said at the center of the discussion are the residents. “What do they feel is necessary?” she asks. “Do they even want revitalization? Do their homes or their neighbors need revitalization or are they fine?”

“Our major interest is we need to evaluate streets, sidewalks, lighting improvements and stormwater,” Irvin said. “Since we’re doing a sidewalk survey, we asked to include some questions.” Those include — “Are the sidewalks intact,” “Is there lighting,” “What is the condition of the street,” and “Is the yard overgrown with debris.” Irvin said they want to see what the need is while building partnerships with service clubs and nonprofits to help. He said the city’s Downtown Plan and in-process Comprehensive Plan do not specifically address neighborhood revitalization. Hueth said code enforcement shouldn’t be seen as a negative in that it can help identify needs and staff can help assess the level of work that may be needed. “It’s not Habitat’s intent to get people in trouble or to sic code enforcement on them,” she said. “The whole point is to prevent that. It’s education, too. Habitat uses code enforcement to educate brand new homeowners.”

More revitalization Sequim’s potential Neighborhood Revitalization project isn’t the first on the Olympic Peninsula. Hueth said a few years ago, volunteers helped with painting and landscaping a

few homes in Port Angeles under the project A Brush with Kindness. She also approached the City of Port Angeles about two months ago to identify areas of need and she plans to launch a similar effort in Forks, too. Currently, Habitat is nearing completion on a singlefamily home in Port Angeles and is about 50 percent complete on another home in Forks. Hueth said they have a land bank in western Clallam County and are in the family selection process for two more single-family homes in Port Angeles but they must fundraise to build the projects. She said Neighborhood Revitalization is a less expensive avenue for Sequim and allows volunteers to help in other ways locally. Potential projects in Sequim could help the elderly and/or physically impaired, too. “Some people may be aging in place and might not be able to afford a paint job or they can pay for it but just aren’t able to do it physically,” Hueth said. For Sequim’s Neighborhood Revitalization, Hueth said they’ll soon post applications for residents to seek support at www.habitat clallam.org. For more information, call 681-6780.

he said. “We’re not going on anyone’s property.” Code enforcement in the City of Sequim currently is complaint-driven with an investigation and potential enforcement taken after an incident is reported. Irvin said the city was asked by Habitat to join the coalition and city staff and city councilors felt it was an opportunity to evaluate a city council goal — “to evaluate options for making improvements in the city’s downtown neighborhoods.”

We need a buy-in.” Joe Irvin, City of Sequim assistant to the city manager, said there’s been some concern that city staff would use the survey to enforce city code. “There’s no enforcement involved with this survey,”

tinue to gather input on the formation of a broad-based Metropolitan Park District, but have gained little enthusiasm beyond their own. “We’ve completed most of our initial outreach,” Bush said. “The response has been neutral to not right now.” Lastly, city councilors discussed a staff-recommended ordinance to provide a deferred collection of development impact fees prior to the state requirement to do so. The recommendation is in reaction to the law passed by the Legislature requiring cities to defer collection of impact fees, which as development persists, can aid in transportation, park and school projects. The state law doesn’t take effect until Sept. 1, 2016, but city staff anticipate early implementation of a deferred collection of development impact fees to be beneficial. “Early implementation encourages developers not to delay construction until after Sept. 1, 2016,” Craig Ritchie, city attorney, told city councilors. “Early implementation also allows us to start getting fees into the pipeline earlier.” Because the collection delay may be up to 18 months, city officials need to prepare for the cost associated with monitoring the activity of each development and individual house to ensure the fee eventually is collected, Ritchie said. To help with costs, an administrative fee is likely to be implemented and it won’t “nominal,” he said. The proposed ordinance is expected to resurface before the city council on Sept. 28.

Men arrested for stealing gas from county vehicle Two Port Angeles men were arrested for allegedly siphoning gasoline from a vehicle at the Clallam County Courthouse on Sept. 11. The Clallam County Sheriff’s Office reports that Port Angeles residents Cory Stokes, 30, and Tyson Reynolds, 39, were arrested after they reportedly were trying to take gas from one of the Search and Rescue’s marked vehicles, a green Chevrolet Suburban. According to a sheriff’s office report, at a little after 8 a.m. on Sept. 11, three Clallam County Courthouse employees were arriving at work when they spotted two males loitering near Clallam County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue Vehicles parked in the courthouse parking lot, siphoning fuel from one of the vehicles. Deputies discovered a gas siphoning hose and 5-gallon gas can in the parking lot next to the opened gas cap of the Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue Suburban. About one-quarter tank of gas had been siphoned from the Suburban, the office reported. Stokes and Reynolds were arrested by Clallam County Sheriff’s deputies for malicious mischief in the second degree, a Class C felony, and booked into the Clallam County Jail. Tampering with the public’s emergency response vehicles, like those of the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue, hinders the unit’s ability to respond to emergent missions in the county and abroad. The case is being referred to the Clallam County Prosecutor’s Office for a formal charging decision.

SARC

From page A-1 Board director Sherry Nagel said she and fellow board member Gil Goodman met with CEO Kyle Cronk of Olympic Peninsula YMCA — a nonprofit organization that oversees YMCA programs and facilities in Clallam and Jefferson counties — about a possible partnership between the entities. “They don’t think it will do any harm or jeopardize anything to at least assess if there is a solution,” Nagel said. The Olympic Peninsula YMCA has a drive to build a full-service aquatic facility in Port Townsend and has a facility on South Francis Street in Port Angeles. “They have something in Port Townsend and Port Angeles — they would really like to put something together in Sequim,” SARC board president Frank Pickering said. “We do not have a proposal from them at this point,” Goodman noted. “They just started this process. We will get a commitment from Kyle in the next couple of weeks. I’ve got to see something in writing and have time to study it,” Goodman added. Goodman noted that he talked with City of Sequim staff about consideration of some sort of “bridge” funding until a proposed city-county Metropolitan Park District could be brought to voters, but that he hadn’t gotten any feedback. “I’m not sure if they (city officials) have even met as of yet. I don’t think we’re top on anyone’s to-do list,” Goodman said. “They’ve got to put the city and county together. That’s their part. Have we had anything in writing from the city? No.” Joe Irvin, assistant to the city manager for the City of Sequim, said city staff spoke with officials from SARC, the Shipley Center, the Sequim School District and the Clallam County Parks and Recreation Board about their interest in creating an MPD and also set up meetings with the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula and Olympic Medical Center. After those discussions, Irvin said

it’s clear to him there needs to be more discussion and education. “We’re operating in a manner to see if there’s a consensus,” Irvin said. “We’re asking, ‘Is there a benefit for you in this new taxing district?’ If they don’t see any value, hard to say with confidence it’d pass. For an MPD to be successful, all the entities would need to see a reasonable value to their programs right now to want to participate.” Board member Jan Richardson said he talked with private citizens who said they were interested in buying it to run a private club, but that they recanted. He also said his sources in the real estate business said the building is worth more razed than it is standing. Board director Melinda Griffith said there is a nonprofit group forming to help with a solution to SARC’s funding issues, but that it is not fully developed. Irvin added, “If SARC finds alternative funding, it’s highly unlikely the city would strive to do an MPD anytime soon.”

Keeping the doors open With reserve funding falling below $200,000 at the end of August, SARC board members, along with executive director Scott Deschenes, agreed on a plan to cut early morning hours that they say will help keep SARC open through its target closing date of Sept. 30, 2016. The reduced hours not only cut expenses but also allow more time for board members to explore solutions to SARC’s financial difficulties, they said. “Cutting the early morning sessions was a painful decision, but we felt to extend the life of our organization, we could also serve youth and families between 3-7 p.m.,” the board wrote in an e-mail to facility users. “With our diminishing resources we feel it is the best way to serve the most people. “We are also able to offer Youth Swim Lessons, Youth Swim Team and support the Sequim High School teams during this window, all programs that we feel are very important to the community.

reprogram people’s schedules to make time later in the day for working out, but it can rev up the metabolism and re-energize for the evening or later part of the day.” Deschenes added, “We’re going to do everything we can to get there (to the final date). There are not a lot of entities that have been through this.” Officials said SARC has about $193,000 in reserves. Deschenes said the facility was operating at about 42 percent self-sufficiency — funds taken in compared to expenses — in August. “August is generally a disaster (financially),” Goodman said. “This is a special disaster.” Despite gaining a majority (57 percent) of ballots, SARC’s Feb. 10 levy proposal failed to pass after falling short of a super majority (60 percent) standard. Needing only a simple majority (50 percent) for approval, a SARC Metropolitan Park District proposal in August failed by a 60-40 margin. The deadline for a February 2016 special election levy proposal — or a Metropolitan Park District proposal — is Dec. 11. “It can be very successful if it’s run right,” Goodman said. But, he noted, he wants to have a decision on a possible YMCA partnership before making a decision about the levy.

SARC changes Board directors agreed with Deschenes’ suggestion to keep corporate discounts — reduced rates for groups that have a certain minimum of people buying annual passes. Those passes, he noted, are sold as “recurring” annual passes that SARC users wind up paying for on a monthto-month basis. Classes now will be included in the fees for passes. While the average monthly pass goes up from $32 to $37, Deschenes notes SARC users won’t have to pay for any classes except for programs like swim lessons. Punch cards only will be sold with 10 passes rather than 20 and SARC will now charge a small extra fee for out-of-district residents.

Sequim man first at Wooden Boat Festival competition Team builds 16-foot sailboat in 38 hours by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

The competition at the annual Edensaw Wooden Boatbuilding Competition proved no match for longtime Sequim resident Josh Turner and his skilled team. After building a fully functional 16-foot wooden sailboat, equipped with a 20-foot mast, in the span of 38 hours, Team Woods earned first place and $1,500 in store credit to Edensaw Woods in the competition held at the 39th Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival from Sept. 11-13. “It was awesome,” Turner said. “For me, the best part of winning was that my kids got to be there and see their dad win — that’s more important to me than the money or anything else really.” Turner, a father of three, woodworker and boat builder, came ready to win the third annual Edensaw Wooden Boatbuilding Competition after taking second in 2014.

Knowing he needed to “step it up” this year, Turner assembled a talented, well-rounded team including himself, Dan Carter, a close family friend; Bob Lang, an experienced boat builder; and Richard Woods,

a renown boat designer and sailer. “Each person brought something to the team,” he said. “We’ve already talked about it and have decided to stay a team.” With plans to construct a sailboat

designed by Woods, coupled with the craftsmanship and building knowledge of Lang, Turner said he felt “ready to win” going into this year’s competition. “To be competitive, you need to

build something seemingly unrealistic, but make it real,” he said. “We took out some really talented competition.” The timed event where rival teams each build an entire boat from scratch kicked off Friday and drew to a close mid-Sunday. All boats were put to the test and while some leaked, or weren’t quite complete, Team Woods’ sailboat was not only pleasing to the eye and finished, but performed well. “It’s really difficult to sail a small boat with such a huge sail, but Richard did great,” Turner said. “I think he probably reached 16 knots at one point.” Already putting the team’s recent success behind them, Turner and his teammates are discussing a variety of designs for next year’s competition. A number of unique and creative ideas have surfaced aimed at defending their title, Turner said, but they’ve yet to settle on a final design.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR What part of no …? Is there something about the simple word “no” that is so difficult for some to understand? Perhaps it is my own personal educational background that gives me a more, and greater, sense of understanding of our language. Further, did not the local electorate say “no” to a proposal to create a Metropolitan Park District (MPD) in a recent election? Take a few minutes to think of the correct answer to the above. What then, is the motivational reason for our appointed city manager to spend time and effort to create an MPD? If he is unable to comprehend the simple word “no” then he, in all probability, should not have been considered “hirable” for the position of city manager for the City of Sequim. It appears to this writer that our newly hired city manager and/or city council, in another brazen attempt to ignore the electorate, will ignore the electorate and proceed to do whatever they want and create an MPD. After all, it is their money and desires that must be satisfied. I cannot recall that they were awarded that authority or did I miss that somewhere? As a body, they are beginning to resemble our elected officials back east, more and more each day. Forest F. Faulkner Sequim

Spray warning at marina Be aware: Broadleaf herbicides are being sprayed on the grass at John Wayne Marina to stop dandelions. The herbicides contain 2,4-D, which was part of Agent Orange in Vietnam. Children playing and dogs walking on the grass; people in general exposed to a deadly substance. What price a beautiful perfect green lawn? Shirley Gillogly Sequim

Warn public of aerial spraying Merrill & Ring surely can do better! An obscurely placed cardboard sign tacked on a tree out of the normal line of sight of a driver or pedestrian on Fish Hatchery Road states that the area is currently being aerial-sprayed by three types of herbicide poisons — one of which is glyphosate or more commonly known as Monsanto’s Roundup. Being sensitive to the natural beauty and wildlife diversity of our Olympic Peninsula, I was both saddened and alarmed. Aerial spraying is synonymous with contamination drift. Sure, grasses and broadleaf plants will be killed off and make future logging easier, but other forms of life will be negatively affected also. The Dungeness River borders this spray area and the salmon are now migrating to spawn. Chemical residue on the water now cannot be in their best interest. And the birds, the insects, their food chain? Let’s think about the damage here, too. We live off of Fish Hatchery Road and while not in the targeted area, do walk into this area for enjoyment and exercise. At least we did. Now it is less inviting and we are more wary of low-flying aircraft. I guess my bottom line is that if the aerial spraying of poisons cannot be stopped or at least modified in some way, the warning of the public should be much more pronounced. Pity the hiker or dog walker when the helicopter flies over head. George Will Sequim

Cheerleading is another sport I was happy to see the Sequim High School Fall Sports Previews recently in the Sequim Gazette. However, there is one sport that you forgot: cheerleading. Sequim High School includes cheerleading as a sport. Cheer athletes sign the sports paperwork, such as concussion and physical forms, and pay the fees, just like any other athlete. Sequim cheerleaders start their fall practices in July. They work on a multitude of cheers, chants, jumps, rallying, dances and stunting. A cheerleader may become proficient in multiple stunting positions or specialize in one position — back-spotting, basing or flying. Like other sports, Sequim has JV and Varsity teams. This year the varsity captains are seniors Morgan King and Alysha Graham and the JV captains are Abby Norman, Sarah Whitney and Alexis Moore. Coaches are Julie Romberg and Kim King. In August, the Sequim cheerleaders attended an NCA (National Cheerleaders Association) camp to learn new dances, jumps and stunts. This year eight Sequim cheerleaders were nominated for All-American, a distinction awarded to cheerleaders displaying superior qualities — Morgan King, Hilary Holtrop, Alysha Graham, Emily Straling, Jordan Bentz, Danica Miller, Abby Norman and Jessica Lato. The Sequim High School cheer squads perform at football, girls and boys basketball games and school assemblies. They take part in numerous community service activities and strive to be positive representatives of their school and community. The cheer season lasts almost year-round. I know my daughter and her teammates invest a lot of time and dedication to this sport. Even in the off-season, they do cardio and strength workouts, other sports or dance to maintain the strength and fitness that cheerleading requires. Karen Holtrop Sequim

Time for term limits has come GIVEN: Most members of the U.S. Congress are for sale to Wall Street, large corporations, the Koch Brothers, the NRA and other associations. Most members of the Washington State Legislature obviously do not know how to do their jobs, e.g., putting our state $5 billion in debt by circa 2009-2010 (beginning circa 2004), not honoring their sworn oaths of office to uphold our state’s constitution and being in contempt to our state Supreme Court and, more recently, requiring several extra sessions to pass the 2016 state budget. And it seems the Congress is trying to emulate the Alaska Legislature with its overt “Corrupt Bastards Club” and the Washington State Legislature overtly showing how inept it is. QUESTION? How do we find and elect more people to Congress, with whom we all can communicate via e-mail or USPS letter, like Derek Kilmer? He has answered all my letters and e-mails on education with substance, not “pablum” or silence. He seems to be a rare representative of the people.

Tough choice to cut SARC’s hours To early morning users of SARC: The SARC Board was forced to make a difficult decision. The dwindling reserve funds fell below $200,000 at the end of August. SARC was on pace to close its doors around the end of March 2016 with its current operational model. Extending SARC operations with reduced hours also will allow more time for the board to explore solutions to the current financial difficulties. In May, the board appointed a committee of two board members to work with director Scott Deschenes to develop alternative models to extend SARC viability as long as possible, while investigating additional revenue sources. Alternatives included closing the pool and reducing hours. In setting the reduction in operating hours, the committee looked at patron usage by number, time of day as well as by demographic groups. All the while, keeping in mind that SARC is a public facility and needs to serve all demographic groups. These groups are: retired (seniors), actively working, youth and family. Difficult choices were made to best serve the most people we could with limited resources. With the reduced hours, SARC anticipates staying open until September 2016. Cutting the early morning sessions was a painful decision, but we felt to extend the life of our organization, we also could serve youth and families between 3-7 p.m. With our diminishing resources we feel it is the best way to serve the most people. We also are able to offer Youth Swim Lessons, Youth Swim Team and support the Sequim High School teams during this window, all programs that we feel are very important to the community. It is difficult to reprogram people’s schedules to make time later in the day for working out, but it can rev up the metabolism and re-energize for the evening or later part of the day. SARC has put together a sponsorship opportunity for any business or organization that would like SARC to open earlier. For $65,000, any organization that would like to step up can sponsor SARC opening at 6 a.m. instead of 8 a.m. on weekdays. Please allow 4-6 weeks after donation for SARC to arrange for staffing. Again with our current financial issues, SARC, without additional revenue, had to make tough choices, and unfortunately reducing hours was the only way we could support the majority of our users’ time. Rest assured, the board is continuing to investigate all cost savings and sponsorship opportunities. SARC Board of Commissioners Frank Pickering (chair), Sherry Nagel (vice chair), Gil Goodman, Melinda Griffith, Jan Richardson

It was a beautiful Saturday morning in September 2012. My wife and I were traveling south on Sequim Avenue. As we approached the high school, we saw a whole bunch of folks walking north wearing purple T-shirts and carrying balloons and banners. It took me a moment to realize what this community march was all about. I told my wife Joyce, “Look at all the people.” Then I said, “Joyce, they are marching for you and for me.” Joyce looked. She did not respond. She could not comprehend who they were or why they were marching. (Joyce Knudson died on July 2, 2013, from complications caused by Alzheimer’s.) Since early 2007, I knew, and our wonderful families knew, that this beautiful, loving woman, who gave and shared with us so much of the joy in our lives, was with us, when actually, she was no longer with us. I slowed down and I teared up. I knew what the march was all about. It was way more than just marching for dollars to cure or prevent Alzheimer’s. It was our friends and neighbors saying to their neighbors, like Joyce, and to their family members, like me, who are often their loved one’s caregiver, that they are keenly aware of the heartbreak, challenge and hell they are going or have gone through. The 2015 Sequim “March to End Alzheimer’s” will be Saturday, Sept. 26. Your check and your presence would be more than welcome. Harlan Knudson Sequim

Supports Stoffer Keeping the seat of a school district director’s chair warm is not what I think of when I consider candidates for the position of director. Yet, it seems that is an all too common thought. Being a director requires a commitment to the students, the district and the community. A director should exhibit qualities that will make him/her a leader in the district’s effort to engage the community, advance the cause of education and prepare our children for tomorrow’s jobs. When I think of the qualities needed for a school district director, I think of words like role model, engage and advocate. Saying, “I have kids in school,” does not sufficiently embody those terms. Also, I’m not overly concerned with a candidate’s past accomplishments, but I am more concerned with whether he/she will advocate for and be a good role model for our students as well as engage with the district. These are evidenced by how committed a person is and how active he/ she is with the students and the district. I see this in Jim Stoffer, a candidate for school board director. Jim is engaged with students, their activities and the district. He also is a good role model and an ardent advocate. He believes this district is capable of producing a high-quality education for its students. Jim “walks the talk”! That is why I will vote for Jim Stoffer as school board director. David E. Mattingley Sequim

This week is the real start of the new year. Parents take their 5-yearolds to their first day of kindergarten, kids return to new grades and new expectations, high schools gear up for football and Guest cross country and Opinion soccer, the weather turns colder and John Burbank wetter, the days are shorter and our teachers renew their calling and mission to educate the children of our state. One out of every seven people in our state is a public K-12 student. Just as democracy is not perfect, public schools, the foundation of our democracy, are not perfect either. Our state government consistently has underfunded public education, in violation of its paramount constitutional duty — and that’s not me speaking, but our state Supreme Court. It would take $3.5 billion a year more at the minimum to appropriately reduce class size, pay our teachers better and offer more courses, choices and opportunities for students. That may sound like a lot of money, and it is, but it also is only about $17 a day more per student. The Legislature wants us to believe that they are fully funding education, but only by ignoring the $100,000 a day fine that the State Supreme Court has laid on the Legislature for its failure to fund education and by amending and delaying the initiative to lower class sizes that the people approved just 10 months ago. That’s hardly full funding — that’s simply a mischievous and misleading narrative. One huge barrier to funding public education is the opposition of the very wealthy as a class to an income tax that they would have to pay. (This doesn’t hold true for some wealthy individuals, who support income taxes and full funding for education.) A tactic to distract the conversation from full funding for all students to targeted funding for a very small percentage of students was the initiative for charter schools in 2012. That was bankrolled by billionaires to

the tune of $11 million. It was passed with 50.69 percent of the vote. As it happens, it was an initiative that violates our state constitution and has now been thrown out by the state Supreme Court. Public schools aren’t perfect. In a world where we expect students to progress beyond high school into college, the data is discouraging. In the Arlington School District, 51 percent of high school graduates went onto college or community college in 2013. That means that half didn’t. In 2008, 60 percent went onto college. In Everett 64 percent of graduates in 2013 went on to college. Fully one-third did not. In Stanwood, 55 percent of graduates went to college in 2014, in Monroe 53 percent, in Lake Stevens 60 percent, in Marysville 51 percent. We are obviously leaving a lot of kids behind. And yet, Initiative 1351, which would have reduced class sizes in high school as well as elementary school, was left completely unfunded by the Legislature. Do small classes only make sense for elementary kids? Perhaps we can take a lesson from the private school where the elite send their kids — Lakeside School in Seattle. The average class size for this middle school and high school: 16. Average class size in our public high schools: 30. Here is a lesson: If you want to neglect students, increase drop-outs and have high school be the final stop in education, then increase class size. On the other hand, if you want students to know that teachers know who they are, care about them, expect more of them, challenge them, discipline them and will help them succeed, then look to Lakeside and decrease class sizes. You can’t hide in a room of 15 kids. One problem: This costs money. Our Legislature has shrugged and put this off for too long. So we start this new school year with optimism and hope and continual underfunding. The Legislature says it supports K-12 education. But as citizens, and for the sake of our kids and our future, we should say: “Show me the money.” John Burbank is executive director of the Economic Opportunity Institute (www.eoionline.org).

Jim Spady, a charter school supporter who has been on the front lines of this civic war since 1994, vowed the court action won’t be the last word. “We are going to do whatever it takes,” declared Spady, an executive of Dick’s Drive-in. “We are having charter schools in Washington state. They are here. They are working. We haven’t come this far to be sidetracked.”

State Charter School Association, a private group which raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to assist the schools, is making sure money won’t be an issue. Its leaders vow to drum up the estimated $14 million needed to keep every school open through June. Meanwhile, figuring out how to legitimize charter schools will be much harder as it will require action by lawmakers. Republicans in the House and Senate want to move swiftly to carve out a spot in state law for charter schools and spell out where funding for them will come from. Seattle Rep. Eric Pettigrew wants to act quickly along those lines as well. They want Gov. Jay Inslee to call a special session for that purpose but as of Wednesday morning he

ring on how to keep schools open and fix the law. But first, the Attorney General’s Office and lawyers for initiative backers will try to convince the Supreme Court — or at least a majority — to reconsider and retreat from its original decision. That motion must be filed within 20 days of the ruling. Because it’s highly probable the court won’t change its mind, the state’s attorneys also will ask justices to provide enough time for the commission to extricate the public’s fingers from these operations. That also will give founders of the schools a chance to take their next step, which presumably will be to become private schools for the foreseeable future. On that point, the Washington

Bringing higher ed opportunities to Sequim SHS revives College Fair for Sept. 23 event Sequim Gazette staff

Living in a remote part of Washington has its advantages … and disadvantages. “It’s been harder as the years go by to get college reps to come out here on the peninsula,” Mitzi Sanders, a counselor at Sequim High School, says. “We’re kind of off the beaten path.” After a several-year hiatus, Sanders, SHS staff and staff from Forks, Port Angeles and Port Townsend schools are bringing back a College Fair to the Olympic Peninsula next week. Representatives from more than 40 four-year colleges and universities, two-year community and vocational/technical schools and military branches will fill the Sequim High School gymnasium (601 N. Sequim Ave.) from 12:454 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 23. Juniors and seniors attend the fair from 12:45-2:45 p.m. while interested freshmen, sophomores and

parents are encouraged to attend from 2:45-4 p.m. Information on topics such as Job Corps, AmeriCorps and FAFSA also will be available. But the event isn’t just for students, Sanders says; the community is invited as well. “There’s a variety — that’s what I’m striving for, Sanders says. “Every single student who attends should be able to find something that interests them.” Sanders says she’s put on college fairs in the past but with the proliferation of similar fairs across the region, state and nationwide, schools simply are not sending as many representatives, particularly to rural areas like the Olympic Peninsula. When she asked college officials what would entice them to make the trek to the Sequim area, she says they asked if nearby schools could get together so representatives could visit several districts on the same trip. So Sanders and fellow advisors at nearby districts are making it happen. Many of the representatives at Sequim’s fair will be in Forks on Sept. 22, in Port Angeles the morning of

Supported by her innate appreciation and curiosity for nature and her own education in marine and environmental sciences, Olympic Nature Experience became one of few forest schools on the Olympic Peninsula last year.

Featured at the College Fair Representatives from the following schools/organizations are scheduled to be at Sequim High School’s Sept. 23 College Fair: • Four-year state schools Central Washington University , Eastern Washington University, The Evergreen State College, University of Washington, University of Washington, University of Washington Tacoma, Washington State University, Western Washington University • Four-year private/out-of-state schools Cal Maritime Academy (Vallejo, Calif.), Cornish College of the Arts (Seattle), Cottey College (Nevada, Mo.), DigiPen Institute of Technology (Remond), Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (Prescott, Ariz.), Lewis & Clark College (Portland, Ore.), Montana Technical Sept. 23 and in Port Townsend and Chimacum on Sept. 24. “We’re all working together (to form the three-day circuit),” Sanders says. “Our rural kids here need this

Via the nonprofit, a variety of summer camps, the Dungeness Adventure Club and Owl’s Hollow Nature School continue to evolve.

“We’re constantly refining,” she said. “The first day of our second year was such an amazing and exciting moment because it was no longer about how can we do it, but now it’s about how can we do it better.” Utilizing parent input and observations from the previous year — year two of the school will have an even greater focus on building critical thinking skills while diving deeper into the existing knowledge base of returning students. “This year we’re incorporating more nature skills, folklore and wisdom of our place,” Salazar-Tipton said. “Even at the pre-school level there is a lot of play that can go on and become educational.” Accompanied by stories, songs and games, one of the unique techniques used to foster the students’ nature and critical thinking skills is tracking. By tracking elements, like raindrops, the size of the raindrops and why they may occur in one area but not another, can help a child better understand the world around them, make connections, build awareness and a sense of discovery, Salazar-Tipton explained. “Tracking is more than just following footprints,” She said. “It’s a way of observing, hypothesizing and learning to follow clues.” Another nature skill being folded into the curriculum is ethnobotany, such as teaching the students about native plants and wild edibles.

Adjustments Beginning mid-October, the school schedule will expand to three days per week to support the program’s growth and flexibility. “It’s really important to me that we’re accessible to everyone,” Salazar-Tipton said. To ensure this, SalazarTipton and staff are mindful to design the lessons so students may attend as many times a week as desired or doable. “We’re always trying to create flexibility,” she said. Expecting her third child, Salazar-Tipton is stepping back from her position as lead teacher to focus on her own family and on the overall sustainable development of Olympic Nature Experience. In preparation, Joshua Sylvester has taken on the role of lead teacher with Coral

Burnaman as an assistant and Tamara Galvan as a substitute. “I’m so excited to explore the park’s forests and meadows with the children this fall,” Sylvester said. “It’s amazing to watch their development through the year, as they make connections with the natural environment and each other.” Applying his years of studying nature-based education on the East Coast and past experience teaching older students, Sylvester has worked with Salazar-Tipton to hone his teaching style to fit Owl’s Hollow Nature School. “This age group brings a whole new dynamic and set of challenges, but it’s been an amazing experience,” he said. Forest schools like Owl’s Hollow Nature School can widely vary, but certified forest school instructors “are trained how to keep children (and adults) safe in the woods and how to explore with them so they can delve into whatever topic may come up,” Salazar-Tipton said. “Safety is our biggest goal,” she said. “Beyond that, it’s about getting the children to engage with nature.”

Sequim walks for wellness Free clinic’s fundraiser nears $35,000 goal by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Just shy of their $35,000 goal, the 11th annual Dungeness Valley Health and Wellness Clinic fun walk and wellness fair raised $34,056 on Saturday, Sept. 12. The support from sponsors, participating teams and individuals help to maintain the free health clinic which is moving into its 15th year of operation. “We’re a good example of a community response to a community problem,” Pamela Leonard-Ray, clinic executive director, said. Although no longer di-

rectly connected with the church, team “Akaloo” with the Dungeness Valley Lutheran Church, which started the Sequim free clinic, came in first among the teams with $2,721. “The church has continued to be great and supportive over the years,” LeonardRay said. On the cusp of celebrating its 14th anniversary in October, officials with the nonprofit seek to continue to provide basic urgent care and chronic health care services to uninsured and under-insured people in the community while also becoming “more of a community force toward wellness and healthy living,” Leonard-Ray said. For more information, visit sequimfreeclinic.org or call 582-0218.

The public is invited to attend a special ceremony as Olympic Medical Center breaks ground on its 42,000-square-foot Medical Office Building in Port Angeles.

The Mad Hatters Tea Party has gained a raucous reputation over the past two decades for its magnificent millinery, but its purposes remain sober ones — to increase breast cancer awareness, support women in treatment, celebrate survivors and honor the memory of those who have died from the disease. “It’s not about hats, it’s not about tea. It isn’t even about all the fun we have,” said Thelma Sullock, one of the committee members who organizes the annual event. “It is

about knowing that for a few hours we are a part of that enormous number of women and their families who have faced breast cancer with courage and hope.” The first tea party began in Sequim in October 1998 as a small potluck to support Jan Chatfield, who was undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. The chemo had taken her hair and she remarked that she’d be the only

Mad Hatters Tea

It has been a warm and dry growing season. Depending on the location of their gardens, many people have been harvesting large quantities of tomatoes for several weeks and others have just begun to enjoy the giddy pleasure. This is the time Get It of year that a G rowing change from dry to wet weather can be by Judy a threat to tomaEnglish toes. Considered by many gardeners to be the worst disease in the region, the fungal disease Late Blight typically strikes toward the end of summer when there is more “marine” moisture in the air and late summer precipitation begins. This deadly fungal disease can wipe out a tomato garden in only a few days! Dark, dead areas appear on the stems, leaves and fruit of the tomato plant. Vines collapse in black heaps as if hit by an early frost. Green fruit rots rather than ripening. For the avid tomato gardener, the onset of Late Blight is a disappointing end to a promising tomato season! Late Blight requires free moisture on the plant for the fungal spores to germinate. If the plant foliage can be kept dry, there is a chance to protect the plant. Stake the plant off the ground so the foliage is not resting on damp soil or the soaker/ drip hose. Water only at the base of the plant and maintain dry foliage. Prune each plant to keep limbs from touching another plant or extending into the boundaries of another plant. Reduce the amount of foliage to ensure ample air circulation around and between tomato plants so they can dry quickly following rainy weather. For plants loaded with ripening tomatoes, protect from rain by covering with a large clear or transparent garbage bag. Cut a couple holes in the sides of the bag to allow air to circulate around the plant.

Hatters

From page B-1 wearing a hat. Her friends seized upon the notion that everyone should wear a hat, and the more unique the better. As the invitation list circulated, more and more women asked if they could come, too, and 100 women wearing all matter of millinery ended up gathering to support Chatfield. Sadly, Chatfield died nine months later. In her memory, the tea that educates and supports women with breast cancer continues into its 18th year. This year’s tea party will be from 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9, at Sunland Golf & Country Club, 109 Hilltop Drive, in Sequim. Tickets are $30 and may be reserved by calling Stephanie Swanson at 681-8410.

Tickets are $15 and may be purchased at the door or in advance by e-mail at fallconcert@ cslsequim.org.

has encountered through her journey.” Vocalist Janice Parks, who has appeared in productions of Olympic Theatre Arts, the Port Angeles Light Opera Association and Readers Theatre Plus, will provide entertainment. One of the more treasured and touching features of the tea is when survivors stand when years of survival are counted down from 25 years plus to 1-5 years. Linda Klinefelter, who’s been a longtime supporter of the tea said, “To see survivors of 25 or 30 years, we see we’ve come a long way. The upside is to know we have survivors of 20-plus years but the downside is the amount of women standing because we’re finding more and more breast cancer in women under age 35 and it’s not uncommon for women under 25 to be diagnosed.” According to Sue Kenney, certified tumor registrar at OMCC, more than 100 women living on the Olympic Peninsula are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. Although Sullock never has had breast cancer, she summed up why she’s involved: “It is knowing that we have this annual tea in order to help support those who have gone and are now going through the challenging journey of breast cancer.”

The release of the “Bridges, Trestles, Rails and Trails” brochure marks another milestone in the Dungeness River Audubon Center’s year-long celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Dungeness River bridge in Railroad Bridge Park. The brochure features a selfguided tour of historical stops along the former Milwaukee Road railroad and a timeline from the 1890s, when the first train tracks were laid on the North Olympic Peninsula, to the present. The tour map highlights 12 stops from Port Townsend, where freight

cars were loaded onto a barge for transit to Seattle or to Forks. In Forks, Stops 11 and 12 are the Shay steam engine in Tillicum Park and the Forks Timber Museum. Most of the tour stops are on the popular Olympic Discovery Trail and all are readily accessible by car. Free copies of the brochure are available at the Dungeness River Audubon Center, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road, in Sequim, as well as other outlets including visitor centers in Sequim, Port Angeles, Forks, Port Townsend and in Joyce at the Joyce Depot Museum. “The Bridge 100th Anniversary Committee created the brochure as

Stitching Together a F undraiser

a lasting way to encourage Olympic Peninsula visitors and residents to explore the rich history of our area,” said committee chairman Lyn Muench. “We are grateful to Margie Palmer for her diligence in compiling the text and photos for the brochure and for the support our partners in this effort provided. Thanks to Laurie Tanguay of Lo-Bo Design for her graphic artistry; to the North Olympic Railroaders, Milwaukee Road Historical Association, Peninsula Trails Coalition, Clallam County Historical Society, Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe and Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society for their help; and to the Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau, for a grant to produce the brochure.”

hold off the disease long enough to get a few more ripe tomatoes. If the fruit shows any symptoms, it should be discarded and not composted. Whenever using a fungicide, read and follow label directions. Rotate plantings every year and quickly remove and discard volunteer tomatoes that may be the source of over-wintered fungal spores.

CROSS COUNTRY

Sequim seniors shine at Olympia invite Boys race to 2nd behind Issaquah; SHS’s Francis is top freshman Sequim Gazette staff

They’re off and running. Sequim’s cross country squads kicked off their 2015 season with strong finishes at the Capital Invite in Olympia on Saturday, getting a particularly impressive performance from its senior boys. The upperclassmen-heavy

Sequim squad that placed second at the class 2A state meet last year — and are ranked No. 2 heading into the season — raced to a second-place finish in the senior class race, just behind 4A Issaquah. (The Capital Invite is broken out into freshman, sophomore, junior and senior class competitions.) Brendon Despain paced the

Wolves with a 12:07 finish over 2.23 miles, good for eighth overall, with Jackson Oliver 11th (12:12), Chris Jeffko in 25th (12:47) and Wendall Lorenzen (13:15) in 41st. Sequim put FRANCIS six seniors in the top 52 places. SHS freshman Ash Francis impressed as well, winning the

Boys tennis splits its first week by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

The Lady Wolves soccer team (1-0 overall) started their season on the road with a 2-0 win over t he Chimacum Cowboys (0-2 overall) on Sept. 10. Both teams were held scoreless in the first half but Abigail Hansted opened the sec- HANSTED ond half nearly two minutes in with a goal on an assist from Mattie Clark. At 64 minutes in, Raelynn Opdyke scored for the Wolves unassisted. OPDYKE The Wolves traveled to Klahowya (2-0 overall) on Sept. 15 and host Coupeville (1-1 overall) at 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 17.

The Wolves boys tennis team split its first week of matches but head coach Justine Wagner said it’s matter of getting players comfortable on the court. “We’ve got some really great strategies but we need to learn some strategies,” she said. The boys’ first match-up came on the road on Sept. 8 in a 5-2 loss to the Olympic Trojans (1-1 overall), but they nearly blanked all of their matches in a 7-0 win on Sept. 10, against the short-handed North Mason Bulldogs (0-1) in Sequim. Against the TroJ. PORTER jans, Justin Porter and Stephen Prorok, the No. 1 doubles team, and Tim Porter and Casey Chapman, No. 3 doubles, won the only matches for the Wolves.

At home, No. 1 singles player Matthew Richards RICHARDS defe ated Steve Settlemeier 6-0 in both sets, and No. 2 player Dillon Liebert won 6-0 in both sets over Jeff Smethers.

In a battle of teams with similar mascots, there was little common ground between Sequim and Coupeville on Friday night. Sequim got touchdowns from five different players and kept the visiting 1A Wolves from pay dirt in a 41-0 home opener on Sept. 11. Despite the win, Sequim head coach Erik Wiker wasn’t pleased with several aspects of the game — namely, a slew of penalties that gave a little life to Coupeville in the second half. “We call them ‘My bads,’” Wiker said, after watching his team accrue 11 infractions for 90 yards. “That’s the part that is upsetting. Our own mistakes can cost us the game.” Not in this one, however. For the second consecutive week playing a smaller (1A) foe, the Wolves dominated both sides of the ball. Led by dual-quarterback combo Nick Faunce and Riley Cowan, the Wolves pounced to a 27-0 lead by halftime. In all, Sequim out-gained Coupeville 348-61. Spearheading the Sequim defense was senior linebacker Chris Whitaker who terrorized Coupeville running backs and quarterbacks with relentless blitzes through an overmatched CHS offensive line. “Whitaker is a very committed kid,” Wiker said of his linebacker. “He’s also very experienced. He really wants to be good; he watches film.” On the offensive side of the ball, Faunce and Cowan moved

from 11 yards out for a 7-0 lead just three-and-a-half minutes in. SHS looked to have a big special teams play when Ethan Richmond blocked a punt, but the turnover was negated thanks to a Sequim penalty. No matter, however: Sequim’s defense forced a punt a few minutes later Starting strong and Cowan found Richmond from 34 Sequim’s Wolves opened the yards out for a 14-0 advantage. Cowan, who finished 8-for-12 for scoring when Faunce scrambled in the Wolves swiftly downfield for six scoring drives and sophomore Gavin Velarde capped two of them with scores. The win moves Sequim to 2-0 after a big victory against Chimacum in week one.

A Kane Stoddard interception set up Velarde’s 11-yard scoring scamper in the third quarter to make it 34-0, and Jayden Gresli plunged in from a yard out to cap the scoring in the fourth quarter. Faunce, who split time evenly with Cowan during the first two non-league games, said it’s tough not playing each down under center, but that he understands the strategy of a two quarterback system. “These are the kids I’ve been playing with forever,” Faunce said of his teammates. Faunce said penalties were the most frustrating part of an otherwise strong effort Friday night. “We do a pretty good job in adversity,” he said. “We’ve got to step it up (for league).”

DISTRICT

Starting

The Back to School Fair, a partnership project among the Sequim School District, Olympic Peninsula Boys & Girls Club and Parenting Matters Foundation, has been able to grow in the amount of services and supplies made available to Sequim families to prepare them for the new school year over the past few years thanks to generous sponsorships by several area businesses and individuals. A core planning committee met regularly throughout the summer in preparation for the event. About 800 people attended the Back to School Fair held at the Sequim Boys & Girls Club in late August. More than 450 bags of school supplies and backpacks were distributed. Sixty children received a free haircut. More than 50 volunteers helped set up, sort and gather school supplies, serve free food, hand out information, direct people and more. A huge thank you to all who helped with this event! Opportunity to Excel (OTE), the school district’s after-school homework club, is offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays and began at the high school and middle school on Sept. 15. Limited bus service is offered for OTE students. Parents, check the district website under “Transportation” to make sure the OTE bus route stops near your home. Teachers will give bus permits to students they have been working with after school. Contact the transportation department with questions about OTE bus routes by calling 582-3274. OTE will begin at the elementary schools at a later date.

staff includes teachers Michelle Mahitka and Kim Minard, principal Randy Hill and secretary Kayana Harrison. For more information about the program, call the office at 582-3433. Sequim Options School is located in two classrooms within the old high school building, upstairs from the auditorium, and with the best views on campus. Our goal is to help students who have fallen behind in credits, those who want to graduate early or someone who is looking for different academic opportunities. It is our mission to help each individual student reach his or her goals and dreams no matter if it is overcoming a half credit or 10 credits. Many of our students thrive in this program because of the distinctive atmosphere and diverse academic opportunities. We are able to offer smaller class sizes, one-on-one instruction, individualized learning plans, and lots of support and Karen Dinius, bus driver, and Jeff Gossage, director of transportaencouragement along the way.

SEQUIM HIGH SCHOOL We are excited to announce the first annual College Fair scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 23! The fair runs from 12:45-4 p.m. in the gymnasium. Juniors and seniors attend the fair from 12:45-2:45 p.m. Interested freshmen, sophomores and parents are invited and encouraged to attend from 2:45-4 p.m. Representatives from four-year and two-year colleges/universities will be on hand, as well as representatives from vocational/technical schools, career training programs and the military. Information on topics such as Job Corps, AmeriCorps and FAFSA also will be available. We hope to provide post-high school options for all students. Stay tuned for updates! For more information, contact Mitzi Sanders at mitzi@sequim.k12.wa.us. New junior student board representative Kailee Gumm was introduced at the Sept. 8 board meeting. Senior student board representative Ben Hughes was welcomed back by the directors as he begins his second year with the board. Student board members attend all board meet-

ing during the academic year and report on school activities. They also help in planning the annual Student Voice event. Parents are encouraged to attend senior parent night with their senior student at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 21, in the cafeteria. The event includes key information for seniors and dates for upcoming senior events.

TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT In response to placement of two new portable classroom buildings in the stadium parking lot, a new parking configuration of the bus fleet became necessary. This new concept was designed by Karen Dinius, bus driver, and illustrated for instructing the bus drivers on a map. All buses are staged in the stadium lot in the morning and afternoon to drop off and pick up students. When two portable classroom buildings were placed in the lot to accommodate growth of the Haller Elementary student population, space available in the stadium lot for buses was cut by a third. Keeping safety and security as the No. 1 priority, Dinius used Google Earth to lay out a new configuration to fit the buses in the resized parking area. It’s been a great success resulting in better visibility for students and improved maneuverability for bus drivers.

Happy 50th, Wolves!

On the rainy afternoon of Aug. 14, 44 members and many spouses from the Sequim High School’s Class of 1965 assembled at the home of Mike and Judy (nee Sherk) Bromell. For two hours, old stories abounded freely between many of those who attended. As the rain stopped a barbecue and potluck were enjoyed by all and more stories and pictures were revealed. Many attended the lunch and assembly at the Sequim School District headquarters (old high school) and the banquet at the Boys & Girls Club on Aug. 15 put on by the Sequim Schools Alumni committee.

If your child is just beginning school, the tone you set will be with him a long time. Let him know you care. Listen to what he says happened at school today. Ask what he learned. This is still a time to make sure that he is doing the normal activities that a child of 5 should be doing. Does your 5-year-old child … • Jump, run, throw and climb using good balance? • Draw circles, lines and crosses using a crayon? • Use toys and other materials to pretend play? • Enjoy picture books and being read to? • Understand words that

Parenting Matters Cynthia Martin

tell where things are (behind, under, in, on)? • Use speech that is easily understood? • Ask a lot of “why” and “what” questions? • Enjoy playing with other children? • Wait his turn some of the time?

• Answer simple “where” and “who” questions? If these are not the way you would describe your kindergarten-age child, contact the school counselor and see about having him participate in a developmental screening. If you see problems developing for him at any age, talk with others and seek out help for him. Many problems can be solved with just a little help. No matter what age your child is or whether we are talking about a boy or a girl, your role remains important. Stay cool. Be a good role model for him. Offer support.

‘Ride the Rails’ with PA Players’ melodrama Audience encouraged to cheer, jeer starting with Sept. 18 show Sequim Gazette staff

The latest production from the Port Angeles Community Players encourages you to cheer the heroes and jeer the villains. Barbara Frederick directs Morland Cary’s melodrama “Love Rides The Rails (or Will The Mail Train Run Tonight?)” starting at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18, in the Port Angeles Community Playhouse, 1235 E. Lauridsen Blvd. The show continues at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 19, 22, 25-26, 29, Oct. 2-3, and at 2 p.m Sept. 20, 27 and Oct. 4. Tickets are $14 for adults, $7 students and children are available at Odyssey Bookshop, at the door and at www. pacommmunityplayers.com. “Love Rides The Rails” centers on villainous Simon Darkway, played by Jack Simpson, seeking to overtake a railroad franchise to add to his

own Port Angeles & Pacific Line but heroes Truman Pendennis (Jonathan Mitchell), Prudence Hopewell (Megan Mundy) and more stand in his way. Frederick said melodramas exaggerate the story and characters while incorporating the audience for fun. The audience is encouraged to boo the villain and cheer the hero, and join in the songs, she said. To add to the turn of the 20th century feeling, music director Leroy Davidson provides live organ music to accent the action, much like a silent movie. Frederick said they also infused the play with historical peninsula train companies and places the audience will know. Cast members range in age from 14-70 also including Steve Berry, Anita Bonham, Mary Brelsford, Patsy Crawford, Brenda DeChant, John Dixon, Martin Gutowski, William Hads, Peggy Kempf, Makinzie Lang, Damon Little, Phil Morgan Ellis, Abby Mundy, Fred Robinson and Marissa Wilson. Jack Simpson, as the villainous Simon Darkway, tries to take papers from Megan Mundy (Prudence Hopewell) For more information, call 452- and Anita Bonham (Widow Hopewell) in the Port Angeles Community Players’ latest production “Love Rides 6651 or see pacommunityplayers.com.

ANNIE is very typical of a cattle dog, she gets along with most dogs and loves to play. She is currently in our dog training program at Clallam Bay Correctional Center learning basic obedience and is doing very well and is ready to graduate. She would love a person that is willing to play ball with her. She will do best with a family that knows the cattle dog breed. DUDLEY is deaf and his former owner didn’t have the training to help Dudley communicate. He is also blind in one eye. Dudley has been learning hand signals so that his person can communicate with him and he will also take his cues from another dog. We have been working with him with a vibrating collar so his person can get his attention. It is a must that Dudley go to a home with another dog that has had some training. He is a high energy dog, but if he is exercised properly, he will settle and is a real snuggler. It is a must that his new family has patience.

She came to us with a 3 month old puppy, hadn’t appeared to have been socialized with other dogs and was very timid. She is doing great, uses the dogie door, has been recently spayed, in good health and ready for her forever home. She has been through the training program at Clallam Bay Corrections .
