Sweet celebration at SHS Homecoming

Pumpkin Patch continues, minus the corn maze Rising costs lead organizers to take year off from design by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

PHOTO GALLERY @ www.sequimgazette.com

The familiar fall colors are in full bloom at the Sequim Pumpkin Patch. There’s just one artistic element that’s missing from the farm on the corner of U.S. Highway 101 and Kitchen-Dick Road’s usual repertoire — the corn maze. Traditionally the pumpkin patch crew designs something fun locals can search through such as a pumpkin, a cowboy boot, a “Wizard of Oz” scene and more. Photographer Dave Woodcock

Their peers at SHS nominated the two last week, along with fellow seniors Karen Chan (princess), Jack Shea (prince), McKenzie Bentz (duchess) and Evan Hurn (duke). Sequim High’s football squad highlighted the weekend with a 49-6 win against rival Port Angeles (see story, B-5).

The funding of Sequim’s schools Revenue sources vary but communities bear burden of new construction costs by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

As one of 295 school districts statewide, the Sequim School District is federally, state and locally funded. But it almost relies entirely on the public when it comes to new construction. A $49.3 million construction bond proposal pends voter support on Nov. 3, one that would among other things pay for construction of a new elementary school, four more classrooms and a gym at Greywolf Elementary, six new high school science classrooms and new high school band and choir classrooms. Unlike its alternative, known as a capital projects levy, a con-

struction bond requires a “super majority” or 60 percent of the vote. Despite the additional votes needed for success, a construction bond has remained the preferred option for funding the Sequim School District’s needs because capital projects levies are limited to one- to six-year collection cycles. Capital projects levies require a tax rate beyond what most communities LEWIS can or will support, Brian Lewis, Sequim School District business manager said. Although voters defeated a

usually captures the image from a fly-over, but not this year. Co-owner Theresa Lassila said due to the maze’s costs they decided not to plant and shape a corn maze. “I’m hoping it will be back next year,” she said. Also gone is the annual haunted house due to the farm changing its hours to daytime only from noon6 p.m. daily through Halloween. Despite some changes, Lassila said, community support remains strong for the farm. “It’s like Disneyland for kids,” Lassila said. “It’s a family tradition for a lot of people too. I’m told that we can’t ever close because some families come and take family portraits here every year.”

Dungeness Bay water quality improvement prompts upgrade Opportunities open for commercial shellfisheries by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Hundreds of acres in and around Dungeness Bay are now open for year-round commercial shellfish harvesting after state officials recently upgraded the area’s water quality classification. Although the upgrade doesn’t impact fisheries like crab, nor recreational clam diggers because all beaches on the Dungeness Spit are in the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge with limited public access, it does target filter feeders, such as clams and oysters and those with commercial shellfish or aquaculture interests, like the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe who once operated

Prior to the recent upgrade of 728 acres within the Dungeness Bay commercial shellfish growing area by Washington State Department of Health officials, only a small portion of the 1,591 classified acres within the bay’s growing area weren’t restricted. This map illustrates Dungeness Bay commercial shellfish growing area classifications following the 2011 upgrade. Map courtesy of Clallam County

Washington school districts rely on either construction bonds or capital projects levies to fund capital improvements, renovations and/or new construction because the variety of local tax, nontax, state and federal revenue sources are primarily restricted for daily operations, specific uses and programs.

time the bond proposal has appeared on voter’s ballot, but the Sequim School District is “among good company,” Lewis said. Statistically, 56 percent of school bond proposals fail their first and second attempt, according to Trevor Carlson, managing director for a Seattle-based public finance firm. The previous construction bond passed in 1996 used to fund the construction of the Sequim Middle School, H Building at the high school and cafeteria also took three elections, Lewis said. If approved, the tax impact to repay the bond within a 20-year window is set at 59 cents per $1,000 assessed property valuation — a reduced rate from the initial bond tax rate projection estimated mid July. Coupled with the Educational Programs and Operations Levy, the 2016 school tax rate would be $2.11 per $1,000 assessed valuation.

From page A-1 $154 million bond proposal by a 56-44 percent margin in April 2014 and again in February for $49.5 million that received more than 57 percent yes votes, in early August the Sequim School Board of Directors opted to try again. The approaching General Election will mark the third

federal funds are providing 8.4 percent and lastly fee programs are providing 1.4 percent from non-tax funds for things like for food ser vices, summer school and pay-to-participate programs. To cover the 2015-16 academic year with an associated $32.4 million in expenditures, the revenue from the varying sources is distributed throughout the district via five funds allocated for different uses. These funds include the General Fund, Associated Student Body Fund, Debt Service Fund, Capital Projects Fund and Transportation Vehicle Fund. More than half (61.8 percent) of the district’s revenue is used for teaching activities, whereas 9.2 percent pays for teaching support, such as librarians, counselors and nurse, 5.9 percent pays for building administration, 7.4 percent pays for central administration, like human resources, business office and superintendent’s office and the remaining 15.8 percent of revenue is put toward services such as food, transportation, maintenance of grounds and buildings, insurance and utilities. Revenue from timber, such as the $120,000 received by the district this 2015-16 year from Federal Forest Funds, is detailed in the district’s General Fund, and in this case are to be distributed via the Capital Projects Fund for HVAC replacements, according the district’s website and 2016-16 budget.

Coupled WILLIAMS with the support from numerous financial contributors, including the Port Angeles Association of Realtors, Green Crow Corporation, the Republican Women of Clallam County as well as individuals, McEntire’s campaign has raised $23,485.61, according to the Public Disclosure Commission data. Endorsements from organizations like the Sequim Associations of Realtors are highly valued by McEntire, as they’re “locally rooted,” he said, and “those are the people that know me best.” As for support from statewide organizations, like the endorsement

Chapman’s support is “meaningful to me because of his diverse experience and being someone who has worked with dozens of elected officials,” Ozias said. As for the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe’s support — it’s something Ozias is “proud” of he said. “They (the tribe) want to be working partners with the county and I share that common goal,” he said. “Personally, the tribe’s support is meaningful because the Jamestown S’Klallam, and really all the local tribes, do a good job of living their values and finding ways to put those values into action — I think the county can learn from that.” Endorsements from the Teamsters Local 589 and North Olympic Sierra Club are more “traditional” sources of support for his Democratic political base, Ozias said, but having both traditional and non-traditional support from those like Chapman reflects his ability to provide the skills and leadership this county needs right now, he said.

McEntire explained he’s also received re-election support from some of the same individuals and businesses that helped to get him elected in 2011, which provides insight into his ability to maintain support even after serving on Clallam County Board of Commissioners, he said.

Pack in the fun with an alpaca ranch tour Open Barn Event is family-friendly affair by PATRICIA MORRISON COATE Sequim Gazette

A visit to Happy Valley Alpaca Ranch works all five senses: smell, sight, touch, sound and taste — well, hopefully not taste, unless you get shot in the face by alpaca spit. Every Saturday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. through January, families can visit the ranch during its free Open Barn Event at 4629 Happy Valley Road, south of Sequim. In small tour groups, led by owner Mike Gooch, they’ll smell the sweet hay, see the 13 females and six males, separated by a fence — “Because they’re just like freshmen boys,” quipped co-owner Linda Gooch — touch the alpacas’ dense and velvety fleece and perhaps hear a few of them hum. Hot cider and cookies are part of the tour. For a fee, on-site professional photographer Cindy Marie Kern will take candid shots and more formal portraits of families that she uploads to a private online gallery. “You will be able to view, download a copy for free and order prints, wall art and keepsakes. These will be shipped directly to your home,” Kern explained. Some people have surprised their relatives with Christmas cards featur-

ing them and the alpacas. The Gooches have been raising and breeding alpacas for their softly sumptuous and cold-resistant fleece for the past 18 years — their fleece is 6-7 times warmer than sheep’s wool, they said. From the beginning, the doe-eyed creatures never were just livestock for the Gooches — since 1997, they’ve each had their own name and will come when called. And their inner clocks tell them when it’s breakfast or supper time. The alpacas range in age from 4-16 years but babies or crias are in the future after a long hiatus. Mike said he plans to breed three females this fall and another three in the spring, staggering their yearlong gestation period. “We’ve had 7,000 visitors in the

Both Gooches said alpacas, native to the Andes in South America, are like cats in their sociability. “They want to be left alone but if you leave them alone, they come to you,” said Linda. “They’re very sweet and very smart and know their names. Crazily enough, they come in about 5 p.m. every night because they know they’re going to get fresh hay. They’re supposed to weigh about 150 pounds but we have some hefty ones,” she laughed. After shearing, the Gooches send their alpaca’s fleece to a processor, which returns it washed, ready for their favorite spinners Anne Olson and Lauralee DeLuca. About 65 percent of the inventory in their cozy shop is locally handmade and their goal is to make that 100 percent.

State AG brings suit vs. Freedom Foundation over Sequim propositions Ferguson claims Olympia-based think tank didn’t file campaign contributions by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

The City of Sequim is mentioned in a lawsuit over campaign contributions in Thurston County Superior Court between the Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson and the Freedom Foundation, an Olympia think tank. Ferguson filed the suit on Oct. 14, that the Freedom Foundation failed to report independent expenditures made in support of local ballot propositions put forth to city councilors in three cit- FERGUSON ies — including Sequim — last year. The suit alleges the Freedom Foundation, a 501(C)3, is in violation of RCW 42.17A.255 for not filing reports with Washington’s Public Disclosure Commission. Created by the Freedom Foundation, the propositions sought open union collective bargaining labor negotiations with the public, prohibited mandatory union entry for employment and prohibited work stoppages. Local petitioners wanted the propositions on the November 2014 ballot. In Sequim, Port Angeles resident Susan Shotthafer submitted signed petitions by City of Sequim residents, but they were later voted down by Sequim City Councilors after to City Attorney Craig Ritchie advised councilors that state statutes relating to collective bargaining prohibits them from moving forward. Later, Sequim resident Susan Brautigam filed a lawsuit through the Freedom Foundation against the city

on Sept. 3, 2014, for not placing the initiatives on the ballot for the November general election. On Sept. 23, Clallam County Superior Court Judge Erik Rohrer denied the motion for the items to go on the November 2014 ballot, saying the deadline passed. Some citizens in the cities of Chelan and Shelton also sought similar propositions but were also denied by their city governments. The Freedom Foundation did not appeal the decisions. However, Ferguson’s lawsuit says that Freedom Foundation staff member David Dewhirst appeared as counsel for the residents filing suits in the three cities without pay from them. Ferguson says Dewhirst did receive his normal salary to pursue the litigation as authorized by Tom McCabe, Chief Executive Officer for the Freedom Foundation, but did not disclose the value of its legal services it provided to support ballot propositions. “Transparency in elections is vital to the integrity of our democracy,” Ferguson said in a statement. “I am committed to holding all parties accountable for disclosing timely information, so voters can make fully informed decisions.” Ferguson’s office staff reports it received a Citizen Action Complaint from the Committee for Transparency in Elections in February alleging multiple violations of the state’s public disclosure laws by the Freedom Foundation. Following the investigation, Ferguson reported most of the allegations did not break the law but that the Freedom Foundation “violated the requirement to report, as an independent expenditure, the value of time the staff spent on litigation to place propositions on the ballots in the three cities.”

The state seeks penalties and injunctive relief, which could cost up to $10,000 per violation. James Abernathy, general counsel for the Freedom Foundation, said the Freedom Foundation did nothing wrong and they plan to fight the case. “The public disclosure act does not apply to the legal services we provided,” Abernathy said. “The initiatives never made it on the ballot so there was no campaign. This is an overreach by the attorney general.” Ferguson also filed suits recently against unions SEIU 925 and SEIU 775 for allegedly violating state campaign-finance laws in not reporting contributions. SEIU 925’s complaint came from the Freedom Foundation. Abernathy said Ferguson with the propositions’ cases is selectively enforcABERNATHY ing the public disclosure laws because he’s not pursuing the unions in the named cities who opposed the propositions too. He added that the Freedom Foundation was defending the initiative process, not the initiatives themselves, because “city councils are destroying people’s ability to participate and make a law,” he said. Peter Lavallee, communications director for the Attorney General’s office, said “the Attorney General feels it’s important that all parties file all information that should be public” in regards to the cases involving the Freedom Foundation and two unions. He anticipates the Freedom Foundation to file a response soon and a Thurston County Superior Court judge will set a hearing date soon. Lavallee said he doesn’t anticipate the City of Sequim to participate in potential hearings.

The Sequim School District Board of Directors have scheduled a special meeting for 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 26, to evaluate interim superintendent Gary Neal. The meeting is slated to take about two hours and will be conducted in executive session, district representatives said this week. The meeting agenda includes input from both stakeholders and Neal himself, though no action is planned. Neal has been the interim superintendent since May. He worked as assistant superintendent under Kelly Shea and then applied for the superintendent position earlier this NEAL year, when Shea announced he was leaving for the West Valley-Spokane superintendent position. A weeks-long process of accepting applications, culling a semifinal short list and selection of three finalists — one of which dropped out two days before a final interview — ensued. School board directors finally elected not to make an offer to either remaining candidates, instead selecting Neal to lead the district on an interim basis. The board’s next regular board meeting is scheduled for Nov. 2. Board members would need to vote in open session to either offer Neal a contract as superintendent (minus the “interim” status”) or to restart the superintendent hiring process, district officials said this week.

Five Wolves ready for league meet Sequim Gazette staff

The Sequim Wolves boys tennis team plans to send its top singles and two doubles teams to the Olympic League Meet this week. No. 1 singles player Matthew Richards, a senior, No. 1 doubles team Justin Porter and Stephen Prorok and No. 2 doubles team Blake Wiker and Dillon Liebert will vie on Oct. 21-22, at North Kitsap High School in Poulsbo, for open spots to districts. Head coach Justine Wagner said because of Sequim’s team standing (3-9 in the Olympic League, 5-10 overall) they only were able to send two sets of players/ teams. Following a league meeting on Oct. 19, Richards was awarded a No. 3 seed and plays Cutter Bedford of Bremerton, while Porter

and Prorok take a No. 5 seed and will play Tyler Aerne and Logan Peck of Olympic High School. Leibert and Wiker were seeded 13th and play Robby Henshaw and Nate McCown of North Kitsap. The Wolves finished their

season last week with two losses in a row — 7-0 to North Kitsap (12-0, 14-0) and 6-1 to Olympic (8-3, 11-3) on Oct. 14. Sequim’s No. 3 doubles team Casey Chapman and Logan Habner recorded the only win against Olym-

No costof-living adjustment for Social Security recipients Sequim Gazette staff

With consumer prices down over the past year, monthly Social Security and Supplemental Security Income benefits for nearly 65 million Americans will not automatically increase in 2016, the Social Security Administration announced last week. The Social Security Act provides for an automatic increase in Social Security and SSI benefits if there is an increase in inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. The period of consideration includes the third quarter of the last year a cost-of-living adjustment was made to the third quarter of the current year. But the Bureau of Labor Statistics found no increase in the Consumer Price Index from the third quarter of 2014 to the third quarter of 2015 and therefore no cost-of-living adjustment. In other words, if prices don’t increase, Social Security benefits stay flat. It happened in 2010 and 2011, and now again in 2016. Other adjustments that normally would take effect based on changes in the national average wage index also will not take effect in January 2016. Since there is no cost-of-living adjustment, the statute also prohibits a change in the maximum amount of earnings subject to the Social Security tax, as well as the retirement earnings test exempt amounts. These amounts will remain unchanged in 2016. The Department of Health and Human Services has not yet announced Medicare premium changes for 2016. Should there be an increase in the Medicare Part B premium, the law contains a “hold harmless” provision that protects about 70 percent of Social Security beneficiaries from paying a higher Part B premium, in order to avoid reducing their net Social Security benefit. Information about Medicare changes for 2016, when available, are found at www. medicare.gov. For additional information, go to www.socialsecurity.gov/ cola.

Social Security disability helps people who work by KIRK LARSON Social Security Western Washington Public Affairs Specialist

People with disabilities are challenged with both overcoming barriers and with convincing others that those barriers do not define them. That’s why we wanted to mark this October’s National Disability Employment Awareness Month by reminding you that Social Security is an earned benefit for millions of disabled individuals and we can assist them in going back to work. The Social Security disability insurance program, or SSDI, is perhaps the most misunderstood program of Social Security. Some people may think that SSDI recipients have never worked and are taking advantage of the system by receiving money for minor impairments. Nothing could be further from the truth. First, anyone who qualifies for SSDI must have worked enough to pay into the system and

be “insured.” Second, Social Security has some of the strictest requirements in the world for disability benefits. To qualify, a person must not only have an impairment that will last one year or more, or result in death, but he or she must be unable to perform any substantial work. Consequently, Social Security disability beneficiaries are some of the most severely impaired people in the country and they greatly depend on their benefits. You can learn more by visiting the Faces and Facts website at www.socialsecurity.gov/ disabilityfacts. At the website, you will find many personal stories of those who have benefitted from Social Security when they needed it most. We also have incentives that give beneficiaries with disabilities — who are able — the opportunity to return to work. These work incentives include continued cash benefits for a period of time while you work, continued

Medicare or Medicaid coverage and help with education, training and rehabilitation to start a new line of work. In some cases, we may even be able to deduct certain impairment-related work expenses from your countable income, making it possible to earn more and also remain eligible to receive benefits. Examples of these expenses are wheelchairs, transportation costs and specialized equipment needed for work. Social Security also offers the Ticket to Work program, which gives participants a “ticket” to go back to work while keeping their disability benefits. This program is free and voluntary. Ticket to Work gives access to an employment network, which offers assistance with job searches and placement, and vocational rehabilitation and training. See www.socialsecurity. gov/work for more information on the Ticket to Work program and work incentives, or call 1-866-968-7842 (TDD 866-833-2967).

Guilds hear results of fundraising On Oct. 9, guilds from Clallam and Jefferson Counties gathered at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church for the Annual Regional Outreach Luncheon hosted by the Sequim Guild. Three representatives from Seattle Children’s Hospital were there to update the guilds on what is happening at Seattle Children’s in cancer research, patient and family needs and uncompensated care usage. A local family, Kaitlyn Sallee with daughter Addison Money and grandmother Kristie Money, told of their experiences at Seattle Children’s with critical medical care for Addison, and shared their appreciation for the staff and services at the hospital. Since 1907 when Seattle Children’s Hospital was established, it has been its policy to never turn away a child in need of medical attention regardless of the family’s ability to pay. Last year, Seattle Children’s Hospital treated 1,197 patients from Clallam and Jefferson Counties using over $2 million in uncompensated care. The two guilds in Sequim, Sequim Guild and Trey Green Guild, continue

Donna Mabel (Shrewsbury) Caster

July, 1932 - October 9, 2015 Beloved wife, mother, and friend, Donna Mabel (Shrewsbury) Caster, 83, of Sequim, Washington, passed away on October 9, 2015 after a brief illness. She was born in July, 1932 in Wenatchee, Washington to the late Howard Homer and Mabel “Sue” Margaret (Moen) Shrewsbury. In 1990, Donna and her husband, Don, moved to Sequim, Washington, building a home and enjoying their beautiful property and gardens with a spectacular view of the Olympic Mountains. Donna was part of the group that discovered lavender was well suited to the Dungeness Valley’s climate and soils, and took part in the growth of Sequim’s lavender industry operating the Lavender Hill Farm. She was among the first to participate with the annual Sequim Lavender Festival, and also sold lavender wholesale and at a farm stand in Seattle’s Pike Place Market. Donna is survived by her husband of 57 years, Don; daughter Susan (Kevin) of Kailua, Hawaii; son Larry (Denise) of Kailua, Hawaii; son Chris (Heidi) of Seattle; and grandchildren Taylor, Alexandra, Cole, Erin and Summer. Above all things, Donna loved her family deeply. She also was blessed with an abundance of close friends and neighbors. Services will be private.

OBITUARIES

Norma N. Williams was born in Emerald, Wisconsin on December 27, 1921 to Maurice and Nora Lawrence. She graduated from high school in 1939 in Arcadia, Wisconsin, and then attended nurses training at Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She married Dean H. Jamison on 1942 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Norma traveled and made many moves during WWII, as her husband Dean was a pilot in the Army Air Corps. After Dean retired they moved to Sequim, Washington. They then joined the Coast Guard Axillary, were active in their church, and loved fishing in the Pacific Northwest. Her first husband Dean H. Jamison died on June 26, 1989. She then married Travis R. Williams on June 23, 1996. After her first husband’s death, Norma occupied herself by staying active in the Coast Guard Axillary along with church duties, hospice and playing bridge (where she met her second husband, Travis). She also loved her books, and was an avid reader, oil painter and loved R.V.ing. She most enjoyed having dinners and socializing with old friends who she had met when first coming to Sequim. Three of her best friends that she leaves behind are Mary Mead and Betty Mrkvicka and Mary Krejci, all of Sequim, Washingtion. After marrying her second husband, Travis, who was retired, they established their new home and did much traveling. Both enjoyed playing duplicate bridge, and went to many bridge tournaments and pleasure trips during their travels in their R.V. Norma is survived by her loving husband Travis; her two sons, George Jamison of Gig Harbor and Lawrence Jamison of Spring Hill, Florida; sister Joyce Scott of Topinish, Washington; four grandchildren: Derek Jamison, Chat Jamison, Shawn Jamison and Amber Matheson; and five great grandchildren: Kyle Jamison, Dillion Matheson, Mackenzie Jamison, Kayleigh Jamison and Dillon Jamison. She was preceded in death by her sister Jane Ralles of Los Altos, California and brother Robert Lawrence of Media, Pennsylvania. A memorial service will be held Wednesday, October 21, 2 p.m. at the Sequim Community Church, 950 N. 5th Ave., Sequim, with a private graveside service for relatives.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To submit a letter

Vote for better representation Please, please vote in favor of Charter Amendment 1. This amendment would permit the Sequim/Dungeness Valley to have its own county commissioner for the first time in history. Currently we have three commissioners nominally from three different districts but who actually all represent the Port Angeles area. This has been going on for decades and won’t change unless this amendment is adopted. Have you ever wondered why virtually all discretionary county spending is in the Port Angeles area, including Opportunity Fund money and Economic Development Council funding? District 1 (eastern Clallam County) provides more real estate tax money to the county government than any other district and we get precious little in return. Our current at-large system only ensures that the Port Angeles area will continue to unfairly dominate all county decisions. Sequim area Republicans and Democrats support this change to election by districts. Only a massive turnout in support will overcome Port Angeles’ efforts to keep things the way they are. Ted Miller Sequim (Miller is a member of the Charter Review Commission and Sequim City Council.)

SARC’s closure preventable The Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center (SARC) could close permanently or for an extended period within the next 12 months due to recent levy failures. SARC provides needed swimming pools and athletic facilities for recreation, education, training, health, fitness, and rehabilitation. It serves children, adults and the elderly. It is a valuable community feature for tourism, retirement, business/job development and families. It’s unlikely SARC could have been sustained on user fees alone. This has been confirmed in SARC board discussions with industry experts who estimate that a minimum population for economic viability is 100,000. SARC is simply not economically viable whether it is operated by government, private business or the YMCA. Any operator would require partial subsidy (public revenues or private donations). The SARC subsidy could be as modest as $26 per year in property tax increases. If there is no YMCA deal, SARC must have a developed alternative to avoid closure. The SARC board needs greater community support. It must enlist a broad community leadership/working group to determine the most effective and expeditious alternative to preserve SARC. This group should include local government leaders, SARC volunteers, the media, public education, medical services and others. Staff support might be provided by SARC, local government or private contractors. The SARC board could lead this effort or it could declare its intent to dissolve the SARC Park and Recreation District #1 and name a successor local government (RCW 36.69.310) which might have superior resources for this increasingly urgent and complex issue. SARC’s failure would be a grave and entirely preventable misfortune for the entire community. Malcolm McPhee Sequim

A vote for Ozias Mark Ozias and Jim McEntire are both nice guys. They are both intelligent. They are both committed. Mark is committed to collaborative decision making. He is committed to facing the challenges of the future and dealing with them directly — things like the local economy, the county budget and predicted water shortages. Jim seems to be dedicated to protecting the interests of the Republican elite. A vote for Mark is a vote for a sensible, collaborative Board of County Commissioners. Lyn Muench Port Angeles

David Lasorsa, now of Port Angeles, has traveled the world as a longtime professional mountaineer, teaching survival skills and glacier travel to field parties in the mid-1980s. After narrowly missing an avalanche from a high camp because someone is his party had gotten injured and they had to move down to the low camp, Lasorsa said he gave up on climbing big mountains after that – his priorities changed. He had met his wife, Brenda, while she was a research scientist in the Antarctic and they enjoyed many “climbing dates” — he even proposed to her on top of Mount Baker. Still, she was never thrilled about his climbing ambitions, and after several more seasons in the Antarctic, they decided to settle down for good and raise a family. Earlier this month the movie “Everest” opened in theaters nationwide. It recounts the 1996 disaster on Mount Everest in which eight climbers died during a single storm, among them Lasorsa’s longtime climbing partner and friend Rob Hall.

“The story I have to tell is about Rob Hall. I had the honor of knowing Rob as a fellow guide, my climbing partner and friend. Maybe telling this small story is a bit of a catharsis for me, as both of us started on similar paths,

Water, coming and going Water is Sequim’s most important resource. As adults charged with protecting and conserving this precious resource — whether we’re parents, teachers, water experts, business owners or voters — how can we help ourselves and upcoming generations understand more about our water? Let’s start with where our water comes from and where it goes. Here’s my explanation for — let’s say — a sixth-grade class: Go outside and look up at the sky. As we all know, that is where rain and snow come from, depending on various weather conditions. We can see, touch and measure rain and snow. We love the rain! It seeps into the ground to refill our aquifers (see below), waters the trees to reduce forest fires and fills the rivers for spawning salmon and thirsty Roosevelt elk. The snow is our water insurance program: It slowly melts during the spring and summer to give us year-round water, especially for irrigating crops in the summer. Every drop of rain and snow we

A-10

Water Matters Jane Iddings get is precious to us. But because we don’t have any way to capture it, much of it runs off into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. What a waste! The American West is currently in a major drought. Even Washington, even Sequim. We’ve gone through a year of far too little snow. In fact, the snowpack was zero last winter which made it very difficult for irrigators this past summer. As important as rain and snow are to us for various purposes, drinking water is not one of them. For drinking water, now you have to look down. Below your feet is a pot of gold: water! Drinking water lies

in underground reservoirs known as aquifers. They take eons to fill yet mere generations to deplete unless rain and snow slowly refill them or water is pumped into them. We access the water by drilling wells and pumping the water out — sort of like using straws to sip water out of a glass. The water in aquifers is not like rain and snow: It can’t be seen, touched or measured. At most we use the water table (where we first hit water when we drill) to see if the water is going up or down. Because we can’t measure it — we can only make educated guesses — we don’t know how much water we have. That means we must be very careful to use as little of it as possible. A further complication is that we don’t just use aquifer water for drinking water; we also use our drinking water for bathing, flushing our toilets, watering our lawns and gardens, and washing our clothes, dishes, sidewalks and cars. What happens to this aquifer water after we use it? Where does it go? In

Sequim it goes to Sequim’s Reclamation Facility where it runs through process after process to clean it. Some of this recycled water is reused by the city at Carrie Blake Park and other city facilities. But because we don’t have any way to store it and because rules governing its use still are being sorted out, much of it is dumped into the strait. Another waste of our precious resource. We adults and the upcoming generations have much work to do to protect and conserve our water, a dwindling, limited resource. The more we understand about water, the more likely we’re going to come up with creative solutions to do just that. How can you contribute to our understanding of our water? Jane Iddings is a retired attorney/ mediator, university teacher, social policy analyst, newspaper columnist and world traveler.

At 10:15 a.m. on Oct. 15, while the rest of Washington state participated in the Great WA Shake-Out Earthquake Preparedness Drill, I heard no sirens and apparently our children at Sequim High School did not participate in any emergency preparedness or evacuation drills (I don’t know if the elementary and middle schools did anything or not).

I don’t understand how Jim McEntire can continually deny there is drought and water shortages, even in District 1. The problem emerged here as an issue even a quarter of a century ago. For instance, in a Sequim Gazette article, “Some Wells Failing” (May 18, 1993), it begins, “Drought conditions in this area may be the reason why there has been a rash of domestic wells going dry lately.” “Louie Rychlik, owner of Louie’s well Drilling, said since January, he has drilled either deeper domestic wells or new wells… some drilled 20-30 years ago are drying up.” He said we haven’t had decent winters and snow pack and drilling has to go deeper. Clallam County’s groundwater specialist, Anne Soule, opined that the problem is caused by drought conditions. Mark Ozias, candidate for Clallam County Commissioner, deals with reality. He recognizes the drought and water shortage problems and will see that the County addresses these problems. Let’s elect Mark Ozias. Darlene Schanfald Sequim

I’ve just been reading the City Council’s 2016 proposed budget. Of course, there is the usual raising of rates to gain funds. I don’t understand why governments think that people are a money tree and can adjust their budgets so they can get what they want. We the people have to make sacrifices and cut back to pay for overspending by the government, but I never see the government cutting anything (except occasionally something that will hurt the populace so they will relent). It’s time that the governing people take pay cuts, cut back on superfluous employees, etc. If it hurts that’s too bad. It hurts us too, especially when we are on fixed incomes. Sandra Aronsen Sequim

This week voters received November 2015 ballots and ballot books from Clallam County and Washington state. The most complicated and controversial ballot item is proposed Initiative 1366 which, if passed, would force the Legislature to amend the State Constitution, requiring a two-thirds majority to raise taxes or reduce the state sales tax. A good explanation of this proposed initiative and its potential consequences are in the Oct. 18 Seattle Times, Section B. It seems Tim Eyman, a Spokane tax activist, has found a way to exploit Washington state voters by playing on their ignorance of the cost and need for state governance while encouraging many selfish business owners to increase their profits by decreasing state taxes. All voters might provide reasons why their taxes seem too high, but few voters want less of the following: education facilities and services law enforcement; transportation infrastructure and services; emergency services, or health care — almost all of which are underfunded now. This proposed initiative would have dramatic negative impacts on the entire state populace by forcing billions in reduced government services, while a few would profit by it. A word to the wise: Be very careful what you wish for, and know for what you vote and why. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Richard Hahn Sequim

These days, Democratic U.S. Sen. Patty Murray isn’t surprised to get a text from the man who may be the next Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Washington’s liberal senator and conservative Wisconsin Republican Rep. Paul Ryan are texting buddies and have been since constructing a budget agreement in 2013 in the turbulence following one of the longest government shutdowns in U.S. history. It lasted 16 days during which barricades went up around national monuGuest ments and funding stopped flowing to Opinion programs serving children, veterans and seniors. Some 800,000 federal Jerry Cornfield workers got furloughed and almost twice that many reported to work not knowing when they’d get paid. Congress passed a short-term spending bill to end the shutdown, then its leaders tapped budget committee chiefs Ryan and Murray (Democrats still controlled the Senate) to construct a longer-term deal. They succeeded and in the process earned one another’s respect, a valued commodity in the political marketplace. Now, with Ryan getting intensely recruited to be the next House speaker, Murray is in a position to offer an informed view of his merits but is reluctant to say anything construable as praise out of concern for his political well-being. “I don’t want to hurt his chances,” Murray said Oct. 6 in Everett after touring a job training center. “I think he’s shown that he can bring people from his side together. I think that they do need that right now but I don’t want to hurt his chances by championing him.” A number of House Republicans voted against that 2013 agreement believing Ryan compromised too much. It’s unclear whether this will prevent many of those same GOP lawmakers from accepting him as speaker if Ryan says he will do it. Getting a public vote of confidence from a liberal Democratic senator might not help. She wouldn’t say if she’s texted him any advice privately. Nonetheless, Murray did put forth what amounted to an outline of a reference letter. “Obviously he and I disagree on a lot,” she said. “But he also … is one of the adults in the room who understands our country has to function and that people have to work together to make it function.” The federal government is headed for another malfunction. Funding runs out Dec. 11 and there will be a shutdown if Congress doesn’t act. The threat isn’t being taken seriously enough by lawmakers or the public, Murray said. “I’ve been nervous for a while because I really think the intensity of where we were two years ago hasn’t been matched,” she said. “I think people just assume we’ll get it done now and they’re not aware of the inner politics of the Tea Party right now. They are intent on shutting it down.” Though Murray doesn’t think the public is much concerned with who is elected House speaker, she knows nothing will happen until someone is in that seat. Should that someone be Ryan? “He’s in a caucus that’s pretty divided about what they want their future to be,” Murray said. “What he has the capability to do is to be able to hear what all factions want and to be able to deliver what he can from that.” Maybe he’ll text her with his decision.

As a 20-year veteran teacher of Sequim children, I ask you to vote for Heather Short, Robin Henriksen and Jim Stoffer, and here is why: These three will listen to teachers, the people actually in the classroom, before enacting any policy. Let me ask you, haven’t we as a nation seen enough horrible results when the people making decisions are so out of touch from the good folks those decisions directly impact? Say yes to a school board that will work hand-in-hand with teachers. Say yes to Heather Short, Robin Henriksen and Jim Stoffer. David Hasenpflug Sequim

He now has the chance to help improve the schools without a conflict of interest. Given his 31 years of serving our country in the United States Coast Guard in many leadership positions including command of vessels and coordinating STEM programs as a Coast Guard Partnership in Education Coordinator, he is extremely well qualified to serve on the Sequim School Board. We are fortunate that Mr. Stoffer, who could decide to relax and enjoy a richly deserved retirement, is ready, willing and more than able to serve yet again. Please join me in voting for Jim Stoffer for the Sequim School Board, District 3. Rena Zimmerman Sequim

Jim McEntire has repeatedly said that he is for economic growth and wants to create jobs for our county. I haven’t heard him say anything about helping our schools or dealing with water or drug problems. Does he not care about these issues or is he just unaware of what is going on in our communities? All I can see from his record as Port Angeles Port Commissioner and Clallam County Commissioner is him spending taxpayer dollars with little or no benefit for our communities. I think if he is reelected, we will just get more of the same poor results that we have seen in the past. I don’t think Jim McEntire has real business experience or collaborative leadership skills that it takes to help grow our community and create jobs. Nan Burris Sequim

no sirens, the response I got was that she checked into it and was told the nearest siren is located at Discovery Bay, east of Sequim and that “we must be safe.” Seriously?! Maybe I am geographically challenged, but it seems to me that for any tsunami to get to where the nearest siren is, it would have to go past Sequim. We may be above sea level, but I don’t think most of us are up higher than the latest estimates for possible tsunami height in this area. Ok ay, loc a l of f icia ls thinking we will never be affected by tsunami and need no warning sirens is one thing. Not having our children know and practice what to do in case of natural disaster is another thing entirely and is completely irresponsible. As someone who has been in two fairly large earthquakes (over magnitude 6.5), I can tell you first hand it is frightening even when you do know what you are supposed to do. Not preparing yourself for something you know is going to happen is simply ignorant! Our children deserve better than this! For that matter, I think all of Sequim’s residents deserve better than this. Rebecca Davidson Sequim

Youth seminar on climate change planned These youths are serious when they say they have a plan to fight climate change: They want to plant a billion trees in Washington alone, on the way to planting a trillion trees around the world. They’re part of an inter-

national youth organization known as Plant-for-the-Planet. Their program is to plant a trillion trees and move to 100 percent renewables by 2050. Anything less, they say, will shortchange them of a right to a secure and happy future.

Now they’re coming to Port Angeles to train 45 local youths, ages 9-14, to be “Climate Ambassadors” by attending a “Plant-for-thePlanet Academy” from 9 a.m.5:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, at the Elwha Klallam Heritage

Center, 401 E. First St. The workshop is co-sponsored by Plant-for-the-Planet, Clallam County 4-H and Olympic Climate Action. Snacks, lunch and transportation to the tree-planting site will be provided.

Leading the workshop will be Michael Foster, founder of a Plant-for-thePlanet chapter in the Puget Sound area. At the academy, students will learn about the science, politics and economics of climate change and greenhouse gases, learn of Plant-for-thePlanet’s program to prevent

a climate catastrophe, plant trees and practice being Climate Ambassadors. Online registration is now open, but limited to the first 45 students on climatechangeforfamilies.com, a website for students and families in the Pacific Northwest. Parents also may register to volunteer at the academy.

From page A-10 climbers, teaching survival and glacier travel to field parties. Rob already was an accomplished climber in New Zealand, having put up some impressive winter ascents and two trips to the Himalayas. He was only 23, yet his maturity was impressive. For Rob it was all about climbing. He had dreams to climb the tallest peaks in the world and the crazy idea of being able to not only climb Everest, but to lead guided parties up that peak. He joked that there would be a few lawyers and doctors from Seattle who would pay $30,000 to be guided up Everest – that dream would prophetically come true in 1992. I just wanted to summit an 8,000-meter peak (26,246 feet); any of the 14 such mountains in the world would do. Rob and I made a number of climbs and first ascents in the Antarctic during our “training” time for Search and Rescue teams in 1984-1986. We attempted Annapurna I (26,545 feet) in 1987, during which Rob was injured in a paragliding accident. For Rob, this accident made him more determined than ever. After several attempts, he and fellow Kiwi Gary Ball and Peter Hillary (son of Sir Edmund) would go on to summit Everest in 1990. This would be Rob’s first of five Everest summit climbs, which was (then) a record by a non-Sherpa. Gary and Rob immediately followed that feat by becoming the first climbers to climb the Seven Summits — the highest peak on each continent — within one year. Buoyed by their climbs, Rob

“It’s all very good news,” Childers said. “Anytime possibilities are opened back up in growing areas that were once polluted is a good thing.” Officials with Washington State Department of Health reclassified 688 acres in the bay from “Conditionally Approved” to “Approved” and 40 acres from “Prohibited” to “Conditionally Approved” — reflecting a reduction of fecal coliform bacteria sampled from the bay and used to indicate the potential presence of harmful bacteria or viruses. The Dungeness Bay commercial shellfish growing is one of 103 areas that equate to the 300,000-plus acres overseen by DOH for water quality and to ensure standards, Scott Berbells, DOH shellfish growing area section manager, said. Each growing area is classified based on the results of consecutive, ongoing annual sanitary surveys that determine whether or not shellfish

I heard that she had climbed Kilimanjaro with Jan when she was only 15, but that she had no plans to further her climbing ambitions, looking forward to visiting Paris and a “climb” of the Eiffel Tower instead. I think Rob would have gotten a good laugh out of that.” and Gary founded Adventure Consultants and began guiding the “big mountains,” leading the first guided trip to Mount Everest in 1992. While I was content to challenge myself with milder local peaks, Rob continued with guiding climbs of Everest and other Himalayan peaks. It was on May 11, 1996, that I heard from friends that Rob was in trouble on Everest. By May 12

in the area can be harvested for human consumption. “This is a very significant upgrade for us and really highlights the watershed’s stewards,” Berbells said. The bay underwent “significant downgrades” in 2001 and 2003, he said. The downgrade in 2003 classified the entire inner bay as “Conditionally Approved,” leaving it open to commercial shellfish harvest from February-October only, and closed during the winter months because of elevated fecal coliform bacteria throughout November-January. The downgrade caused Jamestown Seafood, the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe’s seafood business and oyster farm located within the growing area, to close in 2005. “We tried to keep the oyster operation going for a few

we found out he had died near the South Summit, at 8,763 meters (28,750 feet), trying to save the life of his client Doug Hansen. If anything good came out of that tragedy, it’s that the better guide companies now screen clients closer, have much better weather forecasts and often do not have the head guide on the climb itself — making important decisions from the relative clear-

years, but it just wasn’t economically viable,” Scott Chitwood, Jamestown S’Klallam tribe natural resources department director, said. “It was sad, and a lot of people lost jobs.” “Now, 10 years later here we are, and the question is whether we can get another oyster farm back in operation, and I think the answer is yes,” he said. “The tribe is very interested in pursuing aquaculture in the bay again.”

Refocusing, restoring bay’s health The past downgrades were consistent with the bay’s historic association with high levels of fecal coliform bacteria, according to Clallam County records. By 1997, the bacteria levels near the mouth of the Dungeness River and entering the bay exceeded the federal limit for

I sometimes think what Rob would be like as a father to Sarah if he were alive. Would she follow him into the highest peaks, maybe become a guide herself? Or, would Rob, like me, have

fecal coliform. In 2000 DOH officials reclassified 300 acres of Dungeness Bay from “Approved” to “Prohibited” year-round for commercial shellfish harvest — spearheading multiple downgrades to shortly follow. But as the bay’s water quality worsened, the concerns and efforts to restore the health of the bay grew. In 2001 the Board of Clallam County Commissioners formed the SequimDungeness Clean Water District that encompasses the Dungeness watershed and those waters influenced by it through the irrigation system, and other independent tributaries to the Strait of Juan de Fuca, from Bagley Creek east to and including, the Sequim Bay watershed. Collaborative watershed clean up projects and monitoring by, but not limited to, personnel with Clallam County Environmental Health Services, the Clallam Conservation District, Jamestown S’Klallam tribe and private landowners began to better the bay. In 2011 DOH officials upgraded about 500 acres of the

Ranchers have a hand More than 21 miles of irrigation ditches that once transported nonpoint pollution and contaminated tailwater to Dungeness Bay are piped as a result of the Clallam Conservation District. “We think the irrigation ditch piping helped a lot,” Holtrop said. The district also works with farmers and ranchers within the watershed to implement agricultural best management practices to reduce possible pollutant sources, as well as nearby homeowners to repair failing septic systems. Through the Onsite Septic System Repair Cost-Share Program launched a year and a half ago by officials with the Clallam Conservation District in partnership with the Clallam County Environmental Health Services, six failing septic systems, including four draining into Dungeness Bay were repaired last

Looking ahead To combat future downgrades, collaborative efforts between the various agencies and local stakeholders are emerging and continuing, such as the Clallam Conservation Districts’s development of the Pollution Identification and Correction plan (PIC plan). The PIC plan now being implemented by the environmental health services officials seeks to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of improving water quality in the bay and surrounding waterways. Although event details are still underway, officials with the Governor’s Office, DOH and Puget Sound Partnership plan to host a celebration within November to recognize the collective efforts that have led to the Dungness Bay commercial shellfish growing area upgrade.

SHS football squad rewarded for $35k+ in Gold Card sales With the culmination of the 2015 Gold Card program, the Sequim High School football team brought in a record-breaking $35,280 in sales. As a way of rewarding such the effort, players were surprised with custom Findlay team hats after practice on Oct. 15. “Team prizes are a great motivator,” program coordinator Kathy Schock said. “They really encourage the kids to work together towards a common goal which helps foster team unity.” The team’s goal for 2015 was to exceed last year’s total of $34,420. “They had a tough goal to achieve and they begged to keep the program going longer just to try to meet it,” Schock said. “It was pretty inspiring to see them working together. The kids who were good at selling helped the kids who weren’t. They would go out in teams after their two-a-day practices to try and sell. Each player had to sell at least one card, and they banded together to make sure that happened.” To honor their efforts for being the top in Gold Card sales, Johnnie Young, Ben Newell, Sebastian Goettling and Matthew Schock were the first to receive their custom hats adorned with limited edition silver laces.

PEO lauds 13 ‘Jewels’ at luncheon

Philanthropic Educational Organization (PEO) and their guests from across the North Olympic Peninsula gathered at 7 Cedars Casino for a luncheon on Oct. 17. The program identified all thirteen chapters — aka “The Thirteen Jewels” — on the peninsula, and announced the date each Chapter was established. Women with 50-plus years of membership in PEO were announced and received a round of applause. PEO is devoted to promoting and funding education for women on a local, national and international basis. For more information about PEO, visit www.peointernational.org.

$1,000 each into the program was first to pick their custom hats, sporting different lace color combinations. “These kids worked really hard,” Booster Club President Tara Velarde said. “They deserved something special.” Players had asked for Findlay hats as the team prize. For the past month, Schock coordinated with Tyler Hull of Findlay — a Portland, Ore.-based company — to come up with something special. “When (Findlay) found out the kids had homecoming on the horizon, they pushed the order through to have them done in time,” Schock said. The Findlay team personally drove the hats to Sequim to meet the kids as they were coming off the practice field. “A lot of these kids are previous customers, and I’m sure a couple recognized us,” Hull said. “We’re flattered that the players picked our product for their team prize, and being able to witness the guys’ reactions when the hats were revealed was something we’ll remember for quite some time,” Findlay owner Jimmy Hickey added.

I’m all black, and I have a short, shiny coat. I love to play with all sorts of toys, as well as my sister and brothers, when they were here. They just did go to their forever homes, but we used to have a great time! People who visit say I’m handsome and well behaved, and so very cute and adorable! I know that I’m affectionate and love to play! I sure hope you come to Safe Haven and meet me, and maybe take me home with you!

Daisy is a sweet and happy girl, but she can sometimes be shy with new people. However, with people she knows she is friendly and playful! She has that cute stocky pit bull body, crazy pit bull ears, and charming pit bull personality that people love about pits! She does jump up on you to show affection, but she is learning how to sit and stay for treats.

End of the summer season, and powdery mildew

Fall has arrived and it is time to tidy up after the summer gardening season. Clean-up, clean-up, cleanup: the most important thing you can do for the success of next year’s gardens and orchards. Remove and dispose of diseased plants, vegetables and fruits. Compost only disease-free materials. Allowing plants, fruits and vegetables to remain in or on the Get It soil invites disease Growing problems in the by Judy coming year. English Shar pen a nd store tools. To avoid damaged hoses and pipes, disconnect and store soaker hoses, drain irrigation systems and insulate around irrigation valves. Plan next year’s garden layout to ensure appropriate crop rotation, optimum use of sunny areas and maximum air circulation.

Powdery mildew Powdery mildew is more prevalent in the local area this year and the fungi often survive through the winter. Following are some basics you should know to avoid powdery mildew. What is powdery mildew and why does it occur? The fungi that causes powdery mildew typically lives on the outer surface of the plant and derives nutrition from the plant. They are obligate parasites, meaning that they only can grow on living plant tissue. Because the fungi can survive the winter, the first infections of

There’s an old sports adage: “Better to be lucky than good.” Fortunately for head coach Harold Huff and the Sequim Wolves’ cross country squad, they’re both. A current of talented runners in recent years has put Sequim High School’s boys running on the state prep sports map, including a second-place finish at the class 2A state meet last year behind perennial powerhouse Sehome — the best finish in SHS school record books. And thanks to a pack of six seniors and one fleet-footed freshman, the Wolves are poised to make another run for a state title.

There are some real emotional moments.” Johnson said his book contrasts a lot of ideas with the hero and villain’s philosophies about life and death too but he finds all the characters to be plausible. When writing “Deadly Cargo,” Johnson said his plot takes a twist he didn’t see coming. “Characters show up unannounced and sometimes surprise me, but they always advance the story and become integral to the plot,” he said.

From page B-1

powdery mildew often are found on the tips of new shoots in the spring. Powdery mildew affects a large number of flowering plants. The fungi produce a white, powdery coating on leaves, buds, shoots and flowers. The powdery coating is made up of spores.

The spores are wind blown to other parts of the same plant or other plants of the same species. Powdery mildew fungi are host specific; for example, the mildew on roses will not spread to dogwood or lilac and vice-versa. Infected leaves frequently are distorted in shape and smaller than normal. On severely infected plants, leaves become yellow, shrivel and die.

“For me, writing fiction is almost like watching a movie, and I’m typing as fast as I can just to keep up. It’s magic.” Johnson said he left “Deadly Cargo” open to a sequel if his publisher, Sarah Book Publishing wants it. His next fiction book, “Code Name: Viper,” was written before “Deadly Cargo,” but it will be released tentatively sometime in 2016. For 30-plus years, Johnson has worked as an editor, journalist and writer including a long stretch as “Outdoor Life” survival writer. He

retired to Sequim in 1999 but continues to work on new fiction pieces. He said even with his experience writing and editing non-fiction pieces, he’s had to work hard to get his foot in the door with fiction writing. “You have to be constantly plowing new fields,” he said. For more information about “Deadly Cargo,” visit www.sarahbookpublishing. com or look for it at major online book distributors. His book “The Ultimate Survival Manual” is on sale at Costco, too.

Powdery mildew spores require no external moisture for germination, as do many other fungi. The disease is more prevalent in crowded plantings with poor air circulation, in damp, shaded areas and where nitrogen content in the soil is high. Powdery mildew grows quickly when days are warm and nights are cool, favoring moderate temperatures (65-85 degrees) and humid air.

Michael Spence drove public transit buses in the Seattle area for 30 years, writing poetry along the way. On Oct. 22, Spence shares some of his works from his fourth collection of poetry, “The Bus Driver’s Threnody,” during a Studium Generale presentation, a free event open to the public, from 12:35-1:25 p.m. in Peninsula College’s Little Theater, 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd. Spence’s poems have appeared in The Hudson Review, The New Criterion, Shenandoah, Southwest Review and Tar River SPENCE Poetry. He was awarded a 2014 Literary Fellowship from Artist Trust of Washington State. E-mail Janet Lucas at jlucas@pencol.edu for more information.

Most powdery mildews are external infections and can be controlled. Clip out the infected areas, dispose of infected leaves and stems; do not compost. Clean tools used on plants with powdery mildew. Spraying an infected plant with water can reduce the amount of powdery mildew because the spores rupture when in water. Several fungicides are effective in managing powdery mildew; howev-

er, the fungicide must be registered for the specific host plant. As with all pesticides, “the label is the law.” Be sure to follow all label directions if a chemical control is used. This is a beautiful time of year on the Olympic Peninsula — take time to enjoy it! Judy English is a Washington State University-certified Clallam County Master Gardener.

Sequim High senior Arnold Black and brother Joe, who plays for rival Port Angeles, had some friendly smack talking before the teams squared off Friday night. Arnold and company had the last laugh, and now they have their trophy back. Black ran for three scores and SHS freshman Riley Cowan overcame four interceptions with a pair of touchdown passes as Sequim routed PA’s Roughriders 49-6 Friday night. “Definitely a rivalry game (but) also a championship game,” Black said following Sequim’s big win. “We came in way too confident but our line started blocking better,” Black said, after Sequim piled up 195 rushing yards. “We made each other look good.” The blowout not only highlighted SHS’s Homecoming but also returned the Rainshadow Rumble trophy — the prize the teams play for in each year’s cross-peninsula game — after

“We came out flat-footed but we put it together,” Sequim linebacker James Thayer said. Thayer, who picked off an errant Beckett pass for a touchdown in the third quarter, aided a Sequim defense that didn’t allow a third-down conversion down past the first quarter and gave up just eight first downs and 35 passing yards. “It feels great; overall, just a good game,” Thayer said. “Our line stepped it up.” Sequim’s Gavin Velarde evades a Port Angeles defender on his way to a long punt return for a touchdown in the first half of Sequim’s big win Friday night; the play was negated thanks to one of Sequim’s 13 penalties.

The Wolves lost 1-0 hosting Kingston on Oct. 13, and 2-1 in Port Angeles on Oct. 15, both in shootouts before coming home on Saturday to host North Mason in a 3-0 loss. On the season, the girls have played five overtimes with four shootouts and haven’t hold a five-game losing streak. “Unfortunately, we haven’t been on the

In their second to last home meet of the regular season, the Sequim Lady Wolves swim team lost 91-61 on Oct. 15 to the Olympic Trojans in SARC. However, a few Sequim swimmers either qualified for districts or inched even closer to districts or state. On top of that, more than half the team set personal records in at least one event. In the head-to-head meet, Victoria Fitzpatrick DARMINIO won the 100 fly (1:09.42), and as part of the 200 free relay with Sydnee Linnane, Stephanie Grow and Jessica Craig won at 1:59.51.

Slump? What slump? Peninsula shrugged off a twogame scoreless streak in fine fashion with a pair of NWAC North Division wins at home last week, shutting out Edmonds on Oct. 14, and Shoreline three days later. The No. 3-ranked Pirates (8-1-2 in NWAC play, 10-2-3 overall) got on the board in the first two minutes against Shoreline Saturday. Eddie Benito broke down the sideline, fed Joe Sorensen, and Sorensen returned the favor as Benito finished off a header for a 1-0 PC lead. Peninsula struck fast again after the second half whistle as Jonathan Vasquez found a racing Jonathan Martinez in the box, and Martinez found the net on the far post for a 2-0 Peninsula win. Nick Johnson, who denied Shoreline a goal with a key save off of a free kick, recorded four saves and the shutout, his NWAC-leading eighth of the season. The Pirates started the week with a 4-0 blanking of Edmonds on Oct. 14, with head coach Cale Rodriguez

minutes into the second half. It stayed that way until the 69th minute, when Benito made another run down a sideline and found Sorensen, who’s shot riccocheted off the goal post and Ponce finished off. Benito finished off the scoring at the 84th minute when Edmonds turned the ball over and Jonathan Vasquez found his teammate in the box for Peninsula’s fourth score. “The second half intensity and As Peninsula’s Joe Sorensen looks on, Pirate teammates Eddie Benito (10) quality of play increased,” PC assisand Keo Ponce (14) surround Edmonds’ Moris Vrachovski in a 4-0 Peninsula tant coach Jake Hughes said. win on Oct. 14.

From page B-5 know the girls are looking forward to it.” Against the Dolphins Saturday, the Pirates came out sluggish and didn’t do a good enough job of getting to loose balls, Anderson said. Still, it was the Pirates opening the scoring when Ellie Small scored a breakaway goal in the 17 minute off of a quick, long throw-in from Audrey Barham. “Ellie continues to work hard and get goal important goals for us,” Anderson said. Peninsula’s Kennady Whitehead scored off of a corner kick in the 58th minute. “The second half was better; we were sharper and created good chances,” Anderson said. Manaia Siania-Unutoa got the shut out with two saves, PC’s 12th of the campaign (tops in the conference).

Evading Edmonds The visiting Edmonds Tritons were already a bit banged up coming into the contest. Coming up against a nationally ranked powerhouse like Peninsula didn’t help. Small had three goals and two assists and

teammate Lexi Kreiger aded a pair of scores as the Pirates drubbed the visiting Tritons 9-1 on Oct. 14. Peninsula newcomer Myu Ban had five assists, which may be a single-game club record; Anderson, the PC coach, said the team doesn’t officially keep stats on assists. “We played well tonight with a good motivation to get into the attack with a sense of purpose,” Anderson said. “We have been a bit passive at times in front of the goal this season but we seem to have turned a corner in our attacking play.” Other PC goals came from Barham, Coby Yoshimura, Hoku Afong and Paige Mahuka. Peninsula shut out Edmonds earlier this season, but by a mere 3-0 count. Siania-Unutoa and Cicely Warnick combined to mind Peninsula’s goal, holding the Tritons to one score. “Every active player on the roster played today, which is a great thing,” Anderson said. “It keeps everyone hungry and focused.”

Looking ahead The Pirates host Everett on Oct. 21 before playing at Skagit Valley on Oct. 24. The Pirates finish the regular season with an Oct. 28 home matchup with Whatcom and an Oct. 31 matchup at Edmonds.

Wolves drop two key matches PA upends Sequim in 5 games by MICHAEL DASHIELL

Olympic League standings

Sequim Gazette

Sequim’s volleyball squad is on a streak — one they’d like to end before the postseason begins. The Wolves dropped a pair of Olympic League games last week after holding one-set leads in both, further muddying the playoff picture as five teams vie for four remaining playoff spots behind league leader North Kitsap.

Sequim looked to add yet another score before halftime, but Port Angeles’ Garrett Edwards picked off Cowan for the young Sequim QB’s fourth interception of the half. “(Riley is a) really good competitor — he takes it to heart and he wants to be good,” Wiker said. “Not all of those were on him.” Dispelling any thought of a comeback, Sequim drove 50 yards on six plays and scored when Cowan found a streaking Noah Christiansen in the corner of the end zone, giving Sequim a 35-6 lead with 8:34 in the quarter. Thayer’s “pick-six” with 1:50 in the third quarter made it 42-6 and Mark Feeney, who led the team with 70 rushing yards, added a 13-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to cap the scoring.

13 penalties on the night negated the effort. The Roughriders stymied two Sequim drives with interceptions, but Matthew Schock recovered a Beckett fumble and ran it to the Port Angeles 7-yard-line. Black took it in two plays later to put Sequim up 7-6 — a lead they’d never relinquish — with 1:44 to go in the first quarter. Following a Port Angeles PHOTO GALLERY @ punt, Velarde got a bit of revenge when he took a short www.sequimgazette.com pass from Cowan, spun out of three tackles and raced down the sideline for a 63-yard score and 14-6 SHS lead.

Notice of Availability of the Northwest Training and Testing Final Environmental Impact Statement/ Overseas Environmental Impact Statement (EIS/OEIS) The U.S. Navy, in cooperation with the U.S. Coast Guard and National Marine Fisheries Service, has prepared a Final EIS/OEIS to conclude evaluation of potential environmental impacts from military readiness training and testing activities conducted primarily within existing range complexes, operating areas and testing ranges of the Northwest Training and Testing (NWTT) Study Area.

Proposed Action The Proposed Action is to conduct training and testing activities within the NWTT Study Area, to include the use of active sonar, acoustic sources and explosives, as well as pierside sonar maintenance and testing. While training and testing, the Navy follows strict guidelines and employs measures to reduce effects on marine species.

The Final EIS/OEIS includes Navy responses to the public comments received during the Draft and Supplement review periods. Regulations provide for a 30-day wait period after the Final EIS/OEIS is published before the Navy may take action.

Coming up Sequim was slated to host league-leading North Kitsap on Oct. 20. The Wolves take on Bremerton at home on Oct. 26 and round out the regular season with an Oct. 27 matchup at Olympic in Silverdale. The West Central District 2A tournament is set for Nov. 6-7 at Franklin Pierce High School in Tacoma.

Looking ahead Sequim gets a matchup with a big opponent from Silverdale. The Wolves host the Olympic Trojans — ranked No. 7 in last week’s Associated Press high school football poll — on Oct. 23. Olympic is coming off a 42-0 home win against North Mason. “They have a good, solid team,” Wiker said. “We have a good, solid team. We have to have a solid week of practice. We are expecting to compete with them.” The Trojans have outscored opponents 23913 coming into Friday’s game. Black said one key for a good game against the Trojans comes down to one thing: penalties. “The last few games, penalties have been killing us,” Black said. 50 free (43.85).

ning end of those (shootouts),” Sequim coach Brittany Murdach said. “It’s been tough because those games are pretty intense. They put their whole hearts into it and to have that many consecutive losses is hard on the girls but they’ve been really resilient and they’re coming back.” Sequim’s first shootout against the Buccaneers (3-6, 5-8) went 5-4 in penalty kicks. “It was a good match,” Murdach said. “(Goalie) Claire Henninger had a hand on quite a few of the PKs on Tuesday.” In Port Angeles, the Wolves put themselves in a position early to win. Murdach said from a free kick, Nathalie Torres kicked the ball into the goalie’s arms (Madelyn Wenzel) and out leading to Sarah Penrose to kick it in the 32nd minute. The Roughriders (4-5, 8-5) responded three minutes later though before halfPHOTO time to score at 35 GALLERY @ minutes. www.sequimgazette.com Once the two overtime periods ended, Port Angeles connected on four kicks and Sequim three from Adare McMinn, Henninger and Chloie Sparks. Murdach said Henninger had a hand on one of the kicks but it rolled into the goal. “It’s difficult for a keeper in the league to get a hand on the ball unless it’s hit right to them,” she said. “Claire has been doing spectacular back there. When they are striking from that close in, sometimes a hand isn’t enough.” Defender Claire Payne and Midfielder Sara Penrose were named Sequim’s players of the game, Murdach said. “I don’t think (Payne) got beat once (on defense,),” she said. “(Penrose) ran until she couldn’t run anymore too.” On Saturday, Raven Wolfe scored two first half goals to put the Bulldogs up 2-0 in the first half. Madison Kadoun put the Bulldogs up 3-0 at 48 minutes in with another goal. Sequim had five shots on goal in the game and Henninger had eight saves with seven in the first half. Murdach said the Wolves only made three errors on defense but they paid for them. However, she found the girls connected more passes than earlier in the week. “It’s been a long week for the girls,” Murdach said. “We had some good performances and some girls giving 100 percent.” Looking ahead, the Wolves hosted North Kitsap’s JV squad on Tuesday, Oct. 20, and then they host Bremerton (3-6) on Oct. 26 and finish the season on Oct. 29, hosting Olympic. “We’re going to just keep fighting till the very end,” Murdach said. “We have definitely made some improvements throughout the year. We’re a really young team and the girls are gaining confidence. We’re going to power through the to the last game.”

derson cut half a second in the 100 free (1:35.40) and Kayley Lofstrom cut half a second in the 100 fly (1:25.50). They host Kingston on Thursday, Oct. 22, in SARC.

Last year Sequim lost 101-82 to the Buccaneers. The Last Chance Meet for players on the cusp of qualifying for districts and state will run in Port Angeles on Oct. 28.

Dad’s priorities

In most families, the father has the important task of being the breadwinner. While he may not be the only one who earns money for the family; that is probably one of his jobs. It is easy for a father to become involved in his role as wage earner but forget how to keep his family the highest priority item in his life. Frequently, fathers say they don’t have enough time to spend with their children. What can you do as a father to make sure your family feels they are important to you? Test yourself to see where your family fits on your priority scale. Give yourself five points, if you feel you do an excellent job, zero points for a poor job or any score in between that you think

you deserve. But far more important than the test results, see if these questions give you some ideas how you may become more involved with your family.

The quiz 1. If your child is sick, is it part of your routine to nurture and care for your child? 2. Do you know your child’s favorite games or favorite

ily as a high priority in your life. You are doing a good job if you scored 25 to 38 points. Below 25 may mean you need to work on giving your family a higher priority in your life. Time with your child needs to begin early in his or her life. Don’t assume that you will become important to your child when he is older. Being an effective father means investing time, effort and love in these early years with your child. So look around you for ways to be involved. It really makes a difference to your child, your partner, and yourself.

Cross Country

Orange County in California. “It’s a good, physical sport I can do, everyone can do, to stay healthy,” he says. Ash raced with the Wolves at state in 2013. “If we want to win state,” Ash says, “we’ve got to do the worst of the worst workouts.” And then there’s the freshman. Ash Francis moved to the area last year from Wisconsin and posted strong times at the middle school level, piquing the interests of Sequim coaches. He didn’t disappoint, winning the freshman race at the popular Capital Invite, taking fourth in the 3-4 race at the Bellevue Invitational and a top-10 spot on the hardest course at the Seaside Three-Course Challenge. “A gift from the running gods,” Huff says. “He’s got it.” Adds Cobb, the assistant coach, “He just glides.” Francis started running in seventh grade, in part for the solitude. “It’s like my escape place; I can be myself and run,” he says.

From page B-1

It would not only be SHS’s first cross country title but also the first boys team title in school history. While some of Sequim’s running success has come from hard work — just ask the runners who do hill repeats during a tough training session at Robin Hill County Park — Huff says a lot of what they bring the first day of practice is what determines a team’s future. “To have the potential for a state championship team, I’d say it’s 60 to 70 percent natural talent,” Huff says. “Then it’s offseason training, coaching and other variables. “In a small school (like Sequim) we can have good teams, but to have a team like this some luck is involved. And I’ve been lucky.” For much of the mid-2000s, much of the spotlight on Sequim cross country was on the girls’ program thanks to strong, deep teams led by standouts Stephanie Marcy (now Stephanie Dinius) and Allison Cutting. But starting in 2012, Sequim’s boys made the leap with influx of young talents like sophomores Mikey Cobb and Peter Ohnstad, freshmen C.J. Daniels, Chris Jeffko and Jackson Oliver, led by senior Adrian Clifford. The younger runners had talent, Huff could see, but he also asked them to put in the mileage. His prescription as the 500 mile club … 500 total miles during the summer months. “The number one thing to improve your time in a 5k (a standard prep cross country meet length) is total mileage,” Huff says. “And we run a lot during the season. We tend to run more total milage during the season (than other teams).” With miles under their proverbial belts, Sequim runners come into the first practice of the season ready to do quality workouts, Huff says, rather than making up for lost time. It has paid off. That 2012 Sequim boys team raced to a ninth-

place finish at state and improved to fifth place in 2013 before last year’s runner-up finish. Sequim begins their 2015 run into the postseason at the Olympic League meet, set for Thursday, Oct. 21, at The Cedars at Dungeness golf course in Sequim.

Senior leadership

Helping lead the way is a trio of seniors in Oliver, Jeffko and Brendon Despain, a transplant from the Kirkland area. Despain moved to the area after attending Kamiakin his freshman year. “We knew his track times (and) we knew we’d gotten a gift,” Huff said. “He’s finally living up to his potential (this season).” Despain, a runner since seventh grade said his first year at Kamiakin, which boasted a strong program, was an eye-opener. “I didn’t even make varsity (that year),” Despain said. “They have a really good culture of running. Sequim is a lot more team-oriented. It’s a lot more fun over here … what high school was meant to be.” Despain likes that incentive running promotes to work hard. “How you do (depends on) your

work ethic — natural talent only goes so far.” Oliver is a bit of an oddity in the group, a three-sport star who is a key piece of SHS’s basketball team in the winter and placed second at the state 2A track and field meet in the high jump. “Probably the best athlete I’ve ever coached,” Huff says. “Brendon is a little more fiery,” assistant Michael Cobb notes, while “Jackson is mellow. Everybody loves Jackson.” Oliver started running in seventh grade, trying to knock off top SMS runner (and friend) Alex Barry. “I always got second,” Oliver says, laughing. Seeking his fourth appearance at the state cross country meet, Oliver says the mental toughness required to push through adversity — “that the person next to you is in the same amount of pain, or more” — is appealing. Jeffko was Sequim’s top finisher at last year’s state 2A meet, completing the course in 16:22 for 18th place overall. “He really works at it during the summer,” Huff says. “I enjoy running when I’m on the trail,” Jeffko says. With no

outside interference like a referee or judge, he says, he can enjoy the mental aspect of the sport, to train hard and beat his best times from previous years. “(And) I can eat what I want,” Jeffko says. Daniels is also looking at earning his fourth appearance at state. “He’s struggled some,” Huff says, of Daniels, “but he’s training better. C.J.’s place is going to be huge to determine where we place (as a team).” Not a fan of speed workouts, Daniels says his motivation comes from within. “Knowing I can be better inspires me,” he says. Wendall Lorenzen and Christian Ash have battled for top-seven varsity spots the past two years and look to round out the crew as they battle for postseason honors this fall as well. “(Wendall) is having his best year ever,” Huff says of Lorenzen. Lorenzen started running as a freshman and stuck with it in part because of the community around him. “Everyone is friendly and accepts you,” he says.” Ash says he started running as an eighth grader while living in

Teammates first While some teams have a kind of “ace” runner that separates themselves from the pack, Sequim’s varsity seven sees their top three seniors each vie for the top spot at any given race. A couple of seasons ago, Sequim runners noticed top runners for Gig Harbor, a premier running school, joined hands just before the finish line together. It’s a habit Sequim runners have taken to at some league meets this year, most recently bringing all five across the finish line at a meet in Port Townsend on Oct. 7. “We do it for each other,” Despain says. “It’s more important to be a team than to beat each other.” Admittedly, he says, that practice is likely over, with postseason starting Thursday. But the tradition of Sequim’s big finishes on the state stage? There may be one more in the near future. Reach Sequim Gazette editor Michael Dashiell at madashiell@ sequimgazette.com.

Call (360) 457-8206 to adopt these pets.

Sponsored by caring pet lovers. MYRA is a SWEETHEART, but does have her issues. She is great with people, but does NOT like other dogs or cats! She also MUST have a well-FENCED yard. Even with her older age, and missing a limb, Myra is quite agile and WILL chew through a rope and/or climb a fence. It is recommended that Myra be kenneled in the house when left alone. She has been returned once for doing damage to the interior of the house. With the right owner she’ll be a great dog! PENNY is a sweet little lady that needs someone that can keep up with her flea treatments, and provide her with a high quality food! Penny has some skin issues that cause her to be VERY itchy. These things are pretty easy to address. Penny is good with other dogs and cats, and would be OK with kids just as long as she is given some time to warm up (she can be nervous and barky with new people).

www.stinkydogubathe.com ANNA is a sweetheart. She can be shy at first, but once she knows she can trust you she’s super loving and kind. Anna is a new arrival, but she has lived with cats, and we think she might be ok with other dogs, too. Anna would do best in a quiet and stable home where she knows she will be loved and cared for for a life time! ACE is a Staffie mix, about 3-4 yrs old. He is a sweet and friendly fellow. However, he does NOT like other animals! He will have to be an only pet... We will update more info soon!
