The SARC impact Local clubs, pools are feeling effects of rec center’s Oct. 30 closure by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Trestle replacement at Railroad Bridge Park is under way with first span Sequim Gazette staff

The first span of the nearly 750-foot steel bridge across the Dungeness River at Railroad Bridge Park was placed Wednesday, Nov. 4. The new bridge under way connects with the historic 150-foot bridge, but replaces the trestle that was damaged during February flooding. Using modern building materials and techniques, the bridge is designed to be more conducive to the natural processes of the river and serve pedestrians’ needs. The bridge and corresponding portion of the Olympic Discovery Trail are anticipated to open by the end of December, weather permitting. Nordland Construction NW is the contractor for construction of the replacement trestle using Crews set in place the first spans of a replacement trestle on Nov. 4.

Hope to halt homelessness

Regional forum focuses on collaborative approach by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

The Clallam County Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness is on the cusp of its last year and there still are people without permanent housing, access to temporary shelter and some without any form of shelter at all.

That’s not to say the work done within the past 10 years has been devoid of success. Overall homelessness in Clallam County has dropped by 78 percent since 2006, from 997 individuals without permanent housing to 224, according to the 2015 Clallam County Forum Book on Homelessness.

Registration opens at 9:30 a.m. Where: Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Center in the Red Cedar Hall, 1033 Old Blyn Highway Cost: free admission, open to the public. More info: RSVPs are requested.

Local clubs and pools are beginning to see a trickle down effect following the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center’s closure. It’s been nearly two weeks since SARC closed on Oct. 30 and former users await the feasibility study for the Clallam County YMCA to tentatively take over managerial duties. In the meantime, some local businesses are either raising rates to make way for the demand or setting up deals to hook new customers. Port Angeles’ William Shore Memorial Pool already has seen an increase in its usership from Sequim, reports Steven Burke, pool district executive director. While it’s still early to compare general admissions from October 2014 and 2015, Burke said they’ve seen 326 new memberships and passes added from Sequim from Oct. 1-Nov. 5. Burke said they’ve also received 119 swim lessons sign-ups from non-district residents and seen about $14,000 in revenue over that span, too. Non-district users do come from the west side, he said, but “that’s pretty consistent. Mostly it’s from the Sequim side” including more than a dozen swimmers from the Masters Swim Club. Any Sequimites considering the PA pool take note that its board of commissioners

Graysmarsh fire deemed ‘accidental’ Sequim Gazette staff

The cause of the fire at Graysmarsh Farm on Friday, Oct. 30 is considered to be “accidental undetermined,” Tony Hudson, Clallam County Fire District 3 assistant chief, said. The blaze engulfed a historical barn and 4,000 bales of hay before firefighters responding from multiple districts were able to extinguish it. The barn was lost, but crews successfully protected a nearby resident and carport.

Investigators with the insurance company and Clallam County Fire District 3 worked on site following the fire and into the first week of November before drawing the investigation to a close. It was concluded the origin of the fire was located on the west exterior of the barn, near a northern stack of hay, but its cause isn’t considered “suspicious,” Hudson said. The cause will remain as is unless the insurance company opts to investigate further.

Sequim balloon rises up at home again Nonprofit readies rides at The Lodge on Nov. 20 Sequim Gazette staff

The Sequim balloon helping people to take flight who may otherwise not be able to is back in town to soar with some of its own and invite some newcomers as well. Captain Crystal Stout, executive director of the Chrysalis 501(c)3 foundation and the Dream Catcher Balloon Program, took up Jason Parkinson, director of the foundation, on Nov. 4 from the Sequim Valley Airport for its first free flight, nontethered, for a person with special needs. Neighbors and students in school buses pulled over on the side of the road and/or came out of their houses to see the balloon fly and land near Carlsborg Road. Parkinson, who suffered a spinal cord injury 23 years ago, said what makes the program possible is all the volunteers helping set up and guide each experience. The balloon, which caters to people with special needs, whether they’re physical or mental, allows passengers to slide onto the gondola rather than climb into it. Stout said this flight helped gauge the comfort level for future riders. “What we discovered is that 25 feet is plenty high,” she said. “To him, going up 25 feet felt high enough and that tethered flights are just as fulfilling in his opinion. People then could share it on the ground with their caregiver or family.” Volunteers with the foundation have traveled across Washington and the Southwest in recent months and have generated nationwide and global interest in the program, Stout said. “We’re giving wings to people with special needs,” she said. Up next, the balloon will offer rides at the open field next to The Lodge at Sherwood Village, 660 Evergreen Farm Way, for people with special needs, including a 106-year-old resident, from 1-3 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 20. Interested riders and supporters can e-mail Stout at dreamer@nwplace.com to schedule a ride, which is weatherdependent. The event is donation-driven to support future rides on the balloon for other special needs individuals. Recently, a supporter donated 150 pieces of signed artwork with proceeds benefiting the program. For more information on the program and artwork, visit www.dreamcatcherballoon.org.

Buddy and Meg DePew’s Sequim Bee Farm is a finalist in the national Good Food Awards contest. Submitted photo

Sequim bee farm wins culinary kudos The San Francisco-based Good Food Awards announced last week 263 finalists for its 2016 honors, including Sequim Bee Farm for its locally produced honey. Representing “the best from America’s growing movement of talented and socially responsible food crafters,” Good Food Awards selected its finalists from 1,937 entries via blind tastings in categories such as from cider to confections to pantry, pickles and preserves. Winners will be announced Friday, Jan. 15, at a ceremony at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco. Sequim Bee Farm also earned a blue ribbon at the 2015 Washington State Fair in Puyallup. Buddy and Meg DePew started Sequim Bee Farm in 2014. See www.sequimbeefarm.com or call 452-9807.

SARC

From page A-1 made new pricing effective on Halloween due to SARC’s closure. With PA’s pool district subsidizing the facility by more than 50 percent at 17 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation or $480,000 annually, the new non-district price is set for the “actual cost of operating the facility.” For example, single admission is $5.25 for an in-district adult and $10.50 for a nondistrict adult, and an annual membership paid monthly is $31.50 for an in-district adult and $63 for a non-district adult. However, commissioners opted to increase swim lessons by $6 to $50 for nondistrict children. The William Shore pool has about 7,000 active memberships, Burke said, and they aren’t actively promot-

ing the facility for more users. “We don’t need anymore,” he said. “We’re literally busting at the seams. It really hurt us that SARC closed. If we give anyone else room, we have to take from somebody else. We’ll be excited to see someone else reopen it.” If Sequim users need to use the facility, he recommends, if possible, lunchtime and early afternoon due to space. To the east, Port Townsend’s Mountain View Pool has had a few feelers said lead pool operator Seth Leighton. “We have had more calls than actual swimmers,” he said. “We’ve definitely had people sign up for swimming lessons and a couple do rec swimming. We are welcoming new swimmers though.” Leighton said their time slots are similar to Port Angeles’ availability but they haven’t increased prices or done any promotions to bring in new users. “With prices this low we

two small, local businesses working together,” Christina Norman said. Come Christmastime, Norman hopes to work with Engeseth to create gift boxes containing varying types of gourmet fudge and handcrafted baked goods.

Looking to next year, Norman plans to focus on making the drive-through a “destina-

don’t have to do specials,” he said. An annual membership to the PT pool costs $612 for an adult with other packages available. Leighton said he’s unsure if they’ve sold any passes to Sequim residents yet but one child has signed up for swim lessons from Sequim and another resident wanted a tour. With several other gyms and clubs in the area, Sequim Gym and Anytime Fitness report the most impact following SARC’s closure. Kevin Pedrey, co-owner of Sequim Gym, said SARC’s closure has increased his business so much he’s considering temporarily stopping enrollment. “We averaged about 30 new members a month before SARC closed and in the last month we’ve probably added almost 200 new members,” he said.

The unique fudge drivethrough off Hooker Road just got a little sweeter. Owners of WeDo Fudge, Christina and Charles Norman, recently teamed with Linda Engeseth, owner of Crumb Grabbers Bakery, by opting to operate under one roof. Although the two businesses will remain separate, the decision to share space at the drive-through allowed for an increase in both business hours and the variety of available confections. “This is a very good thing for both of us,” Engeseth said. “Fudge and bakery items complement each other, so really it’s the perfect blend.” After closing the bakery’s storefront at the corner of Cedar Street and Fifth Avenue last March, Engeseth continued to run Crumb Grabbers Bakery from a commercial kitchen, but has missed having a central location where costumers can regularly find favorites, she said. “This is a great example of

“We’re still trying to plan this out and if we’re going to keep enrolling.” Sequim Gym is open 24 hours, and it’s busiest from 7 a.m.-noon, steady in the afternoon but dies down in the evening, Pedrey said. “It’s hard to say if we’ll close enrollment because it’s a tricky thing,” he said. “We’ll keep assessing it.” Erin Green, new co-owner of Sequim Anytime Fitness, said they are seeing an influx of new members and people looking for a gym. She and her husband Art took over ownership a little over a week ago and said they haven’t sat down and tracked those numbers just yet but in that short amount of time she sees a difference. “Traffic has definitely picked up,” she said. Nikki Julmist, owner of SportsFit Training Center, said she’s been targeting SARC members with a new promotion that offers the

first month of training for half price to card-carrying SARC members. She says a few people have tried it but most of the former SARC gym users likely look for a place with similar equipment. Julmist said she plans to continue the promotion indefinitely. Elsewhere the impact has been minimal, officials said. At the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula, Janet Gray, resource development director, said they recently received one new member in Sequim likely as a result of SARC closing. She said new members typically sign up in the summer and before school starts. Michael Smith, executive director of the Shipley Center, said they haven’t seen a big influx of new members/ users with a few people coming over to explore class options. Prior to closing, he said the center had an agreement

with SARC that its members would receive a 10-percent discount in exchange for promoting in the center’s newsletter, brochure and with a banner in the building. “We will miss our members taking advantage of that discount,” Smith said. Len Borchers, acting director for the Clallam County Family YMCA in Port Angeles, said they’ve had a number of interested parties come in particularly racketball players. “We’ve done some schedule adjustments to accommodate that,” he said. A majority of those checking out the YMCA’s services live in between Sequim and Port Angeles, Borchers said. “People are really interested,” he said. “It’s going to take awhile before we get a solution in place.” The Gazette reached out to other gyms but they could not be reached before press time.

Bell Creek offers cozy, classic setting by PATRICIA MORRISON COATE Sequim Gazette

Most start-up businesses have growing pains during the first six months or so but eventually muscle through them. The Bell Creek Bar & Grill at 707 E. Washington St., Sequim, has had its glitches since a soft opening in late spring but, said owner Min Chan, “Compared to a few months ago, I can say we are better. Now I feel the improvement.” In the Chinese restaurant business for more than a decade, Chan, who still cooks Chinese cuisine at home, said serving up an American-style menu has been a challenge but it’s one she wanted to take on. “I try really hard to learn and improve and I’m open to all ideas and suggestions,” Chan said. Chan’s steep learning curve with American fare became manageable under the guidance of Bell Creek’s chef Richard Williams, who’s been a professional cook for 30 years. “We’ve all learned from each other,” Williams said, noting the feeling among staff is all for one and one for all. He’s especially proud of the restaurant’s dill potato salad, a heritage recipe from his grandmother. Home to a cafe for many years, the totally remodeled Bell Creek Bar & Grill has an ambiance of tasteful elegance, from the sleekly modern silverware, to oversized dark maroon, high-backed booths for privacy, sconces with cloth shades, Tuscan-style cream walls and dark rich plank flooring. “I wanted to give the customers a cozy and classic feeling,” Chan said. Despite the menu’s quiet elegance,

the menu isn’t posh. “It’s a lot of good ole American food,” said server Greta Gutensohn. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner plus a banquet room special menu, there’s a lot of variety to choose from. Breakfast includes egg/meat combinations, country-fried steak, sirloin and eggs, four types of omelets, two scrambles and the Creek Special, a blend of seasoned ground beef, spinach, onions, mushrooms and diced fresh potatoes, topped off with parmesan. There also are the requisite pancakes, waffles and biscuits and gravy plus breakfast sandwiches and burritos. Lunch fare features 13 sandwich choices and four tortilla tomato basil wraps, five barbecued dishes of both beef and pork with Bell Creek’s homemade sauce on the side, four gourmet burgers, with patties ground on site, not to mention fish and chips, clam

chowder made daily and five salads. Dinner has a more expanded menu with appetizers, soups and salads, gourmet burgers and sandwiches, country dinners, seafood, pasta, Angus steaks and prime rib, and several barbecued dishes. Chan said she makes every effort to offer homemade fare, including soups, salads, coleslaw, freshly ground burger patties, sauces and batters. “Homemade food always has a better quality so we can control the quality and the food’s taste,” Chan said. Bell Creek’s attentive servers have observed several menu items have become favorites, including its burgers, Reuben sandwiches, tender prime rib, fish and chips, club sandwiches and patty melts. Starting this month, there will be specials for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For example, Monday-Friday, with a full breakfast order, Bell Creek buys your coffee and with dinner specials, your dessert is free. In addition to an ample dining area, Bell Creek has a 50-seat banquet room with TV and a full-service bar with a friendly Sequim face — customers will recognize bartender Tina Breen, formerly of the defunct Islander. She said she’s thrilled to be back keeping bar, especially in such a nice one. The bar features two large TVs and well-padded bar stools, plus intimate tables. “We try our best — that’s all I can say — we all try to make our customers happy. I just hope people will give Bell Creek a try,” Chan concluded. “Just come try our food,” Williams added.

US Coast Guard warns sea-goers of storm dangers

search-and-rescue controllers received 91 reports of unmanned, adrift vessels in Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, initiating hundreds of hours of searches. In the majority of cases, officials were unable to locate or contact an owner for the vessel. A mariner who believes his vessel has drifted into open water is encouraged to report it by calling the Coast Guard 13th District Command Center at 206220-7001.

Coast Guard officials are urging vessel and paddlecraft owners to properly secure and label their craft in anticipation of fall storms. Coast Guard crews treat every unmanned and adrift vessel as a search and rescue case and immediately launch a search for people potentially in distress. In 2014, Coast Guard

Sequim man sentenced to 18 years for Joyce murder Sequim Gazette staff

Former Sequim resident Ari Lee King, 42, will serve 18 years for the murder of a Joyce woman last year. King was sentenced on Nov. 2 in Clallam County Superior Court by Judge Christopher Melly to 216 months in jail for the murder of 65-year-old Diane Cunningham in late September 2014. He killed Cunningham in her mobile home at Salt Creek RV Park by bludgeoning her to death, Clallam County Sheriff’s Office reports. King originally pleaded not guilty on Nov. 21, 2014, but later pleaded guilty

from Cunningham for nine days, law enforcement reports. Previously, King and Cunningham were captured on video together on Sept. 28 at 7 Cedars Casino and the Port Angeles Walmart.

Two weeks later, King was found living under a bridge in Juntura, Ore., after taking Cunningham’s winnings from the casino, a coin collection and 1999 Audi. Law enforcement learned of King’s whereabouts from employees of the Oasis Cafe where King paid for meals using packaged coins and a crisp $100 bill.

Homeless From page A-1

A means to an end To better hone and focus the effort toward ending homelessness locally, various stakeholders and involved individuals working to address the issue are set to collaborate on Wednesday, Nov. 18, at the fifth annual regional forum on “Ending Homelessness Together.” The forum is free and open to the public, Martha Ireland, Shelter Providers Network of Clallam County executive coordinator, said. Still a week away and already nearly 80 people have responded with RSVPs. IRELAND “I think the amount of interest speaks to the importance of this topic,” Ireland said. “People are understanding this is a community issue.” The regional forum is hosted by the Shelter Providers Network of Clallam County, a consortium of local agencies, churches and individuals that provide housing and supportive ser vices to homeless individuals, families and atrisk households; Housing Action Plan Network of Jefferson County, Peninsula Housing Authority, Serenity House of Clallam County, Olympic Community Action Programs (OlyCAP) and the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe. “We will hear from people who were formerly homeless about programs that helped them succeed and from the Commerce Housing Division on how programs to end homelessness are funded,” Ireland said. Four panel presentations will cover: Reaching Across County Lines to Serve People in Crisis, How Tiny Houses Work to End Homelessness, Hope and Help for At-Risk and Homeless Youth and Young Adults and Empowering Our Homeless and At-Risk Neighbors for Self-Reliance. “The goal of the forum is to coordinate the resources and services being put forth in both Clallam and Jefferson counties to end homelessness,” Ireland said. The challenges of homelessness don’t obey county lines, so “what affects one county, affects the other,” Ireland said. Thus, having a wide understanding of the collaborative efforts being done is critical for being able to evaluate the success of the programs and services being implemented, she explained. “The regional forum is a wonderful and energizing experience,” Viola Ware, Serenity House of Clallam County WARE Youth/Young Adult program director, said. “You get to see all the people working on this issue.” Ware is on the forum panel accompanied by Sequim Mayor Candace Pratt, where she plans to talk about her experience while spearheading programs through the Serenity House of Clallam County to address youth and young adult homelessness and youth at-risk. To help a child or young adult either not be homeless or avoid becoming homeless, Ware said, a lot of her work is centered on things like increasing the employment of the younger, at-risk population. For example, “this might be helping them earn their GED,” she said. Pratt will supplement Ware’s input on aiding homelessness and/or at-risk youth and young adults by discussing a growing community effort to implement a Coffee Oasis in Sequim. The Coffee Oasis is a faith-based, nonprofit organization aimed at providing community gathering places and is supported by serving self-roasted coffee from direct-trade coffee beans. The Coffee Oasis youth programs offer “friendship, belonging, resources and opportunity to homeless and street-oriented youth, ages 13-25,”

Based on 680 surveys completed during the 2010 Point-in-Time count in Clallam County, the most commonly listed cause leading to homelessness was the inability to pay rent/mortgage, followed by alcohol or drug use. Job loss or the result of a temporary living situation ending were the third most listed causes of homelessness, followed by mental illness. Graphic courtesy of the 2015 Clallam County Forum Book on Homelessness

according to organization officials. All proceeds from the businesses support the Oasis youth programs. “There are at least five Coffee Oasis in Kitsap County,” Pratt said. The Boiler Room, a coffee and tea house in Port Townsend, is independent from The Coffee Oasis, but is another nonprofit working to fulfill a similar community service. “They’re designed to reach broken, young people, maybe struggling with addition or PRATT who are in a hopeless situation,” Pratt said. “We don’t have anything like that in Sequim and there’s a significant percent of Sequim school students couch surfing and that’s really sad.” Pratt is the chairman of the Clallam County Homeless Task Force and is involved with the grassroots steering committee that first met in October 2014 to explore the possibility of a Coffee Oasis in Sequim. “I recognize that there’s a stressed community of all ages here in Sequim,” she said. “Not all Coffee Oasis have housing attached, but I think we could benefit from something like that.”

Homelessness persists The regional forum is timely, arriving only weeks after Seattle Mayor Ed Murray and King County officials declared a state of emergency over homelessness in early November, with 3,803 unsheltered individuals documented during the county’s annual Point-in-Time count. Data from the annual counts are coupled with information documented by the state’s homeless management information system (HMIS). HMIS is used by state and federally funded homeless and housing service providers to collect and manage data gathered during the course of providing housing assistance to people already experiencing homelessness and to households at-risk of losing their housing. In contrast to the largely urban areas like most of King County, including cities like Seattle, Clallam County doesn’t have thousands of homeless individuals, but the same challenges exist. A total of 41 individuals were documented as being without shelter and 135 sheltered during the 2015 Clallam County Point-in-Time count. Since 2006, the counts are conducted every January as a result of the Homeless Housing and Assistance Act signed into law in 2005 to create a coordinated state plan address homelessness. To be classified within the “Sheltered” category does not mean those individuals are in a stable home environment, but instead relying on services, such as overnight shelters or temporary housing, Ireland said. The number of unsheltered homeless

within Clallam County has decreased by 30.5 percent since last year’s count and by an even greater 80 percent from 2006, but until homeless drops to “functional zero” county officials and residents working to end homelessness locally won’t slow their efforts. Functional zero occurs when the availability of resources exceeds the size of the population needing the resources, or in other words, when there are fewer people coming into the system needing assistance than coming out, Ireland explained. “We have a ways to go to reach that,” Ireland said. As the general trend of homelessness continues to fall locally, the remaining population of homeless or at-risk are often some of the most difficult to help, Ireland said. Many of the chronically homeless have other complications beyond a lack of education, job or situational, like fleeing from domestic violence. Instead, chronic homelessness often coincides with mental illness and/or substance abuse. “People with other issues are much more challenging to help, but we’ve seen a lot of great successes,” Ireland said. “That to me is pay day — when you get to see someone who is a drain on themselves and society turn their life around.”

Identifying the holes

“We have an urgent and important need for emergency housing and services in Sequim,” he said. Members of the St. Vincent de Paul Society work fluidly with the Sequim Housing Resource Center and Sequim Community Aid to try to address cases of homelessness in Sequim, but the society is the only option for seeking assistance late at night when the housing resource center is closed and the overnight shelters in Port Angeles are typically full, Flynn said. “What breaks my heart is when we get a call from a homeless family needing shelter for the night,” he said. Most of the people needing emergency shelter in Sequim are just passing through, he noted, because the local organizations are often able to collaborate to help the more stable people within the community before there’s a need for overnight or emergency housing. “We probably get one to two calls per week,” Flynn said. “We’re happy to do it, but having a dedicated family emergency service in this community is essential.” The need for temporary housing became more apparent in Sequim after Serenity House officials sold their 22,000-squarefoot property that included a 10-unit apartment building in 2012 to the City of Sequim for the city’s civic center. “Since it was sold, I would say the need has risen,” Flynn said. Helping to address shelter capacity lost when the City of Sequim purchased the Horne Building, two permanent supportive housing at the SunBelt Apartments along South Fifth Avenue were acquired last year with another 14 in process, according to the 2015 Clallam County Forum Book on Homelessness. Additionally, a small cottage on the property will be used for family shelter. Serenity House of Clallam County officials applied to the county last year for funding to support a master lease program for a duplex in Sequim, but didn’t get it, Ireland said, noting that “funding is always a challenge.” Serenity House officials plan to apply to the county for the funding again this year. Applications are due Nov. 20.

Like recognizing the challenges sometimes associated with homelessness, “identifying where all the holes are” is another goal of the regional forum, Ireland said. Despite the wide array of public services being implemented and offered, some areas still lack all the resources and infrastructure to address the homelessness. “There’s a need in Sequim,” Ireland said. “The St. Vincent de Paul Society associated with St. Joseph’s Catholic Church is the only place in Sequim that answers the phone in the evening and weekends.” Although solutions to reduce homelessness are centered on affordable, permanent housing options, Mike Flynn, president of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, recognizes the importance of temporary housing options for those genuinely needing emergency shelter — like situations where someone is fleeing from domestic Reach Alana Linderoth at alinderoth@ abuse. sequimgazette.com.

Symposium set on Elwha dam removal C Much has changed along the Elwha River since the removal of the dams and on Thursday, Nov. 19, from 6:30-9 p.m., the Elwha Research Consortium and Peninsula College will host a special public event highlighting researchers and their scientific works following the removal of the Elwha River dams. Members of the community will be able to see and discuss the river’s evolution as part of a community

event associated with the 2015 Elwha River Science Symposium. This will be the first public gathering to report on restoration of the Elwha River since the last remnants of the dams have been removed and upstream passage for salmon has been restored. Elwha Science for the Community 2015 will allow the public to view scientific posters and interact with Elwha researchers one-on-one to discuss their work

in Peninsula College’s Pirate Union Building. This will be followed by a screening of the award-winning documentary film, “The Return of the River,” introduced by local filmmakers John Gussman and Jessica Plumb at 7 p.m. The film documents the Elwha River dam removals and recently won two awards at the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival, a summit and celebration of wildlife and conservation media.

The film also was recognized for Conservation Impact and received the Marian Zunz Award for emerging filmmakers. Following the film, a panel discussion will provide additional opportunity for the community to discuss the research and science associated with these groundbreaking dam removals. The panel will include Dr. Guy Gelfenbaum from the U.S. Geological Survey, Dr. George Pess from NOAA, Kim

Sager-Fradkin from the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe and Andy Ritchie and Josh Chenoweth from Olympic National Park. The event is free and open to the public, with advance registration requested.

Learn about birds of western Mexico The Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society will meet at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, at the Dungeness River Audubon Center in Railroad Bridge Park, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road, Sequim. The program will be presented by Carolyn Wilcox of Experience Olympic Tours. Imagine setting off on your dream birding vacation to El Tuito, Mexico, but you end up dislocating WILCOX and breaking your ankle on the first morning of your trip. This happened to Wilcox, but she wasn’t about to let a minor inconvenience like broken bones stop her from seeing spectacular birds. Come hear her talk about one of

the best birding areas of the world, western Mexico, and specifically a birding oasis called Rancho Primavera. Like other areas of western Mexico, Rancho Primavera has a remarkable diversity of birds, including such beauties as the San Blas jay, cinnamon hummingbird and yellow grosbeak. Wilcox also will compare birds of Rancho Primavera with the birds of Clallam County, along with species found in both places like the Pacificslope flycatcher. Wilcox is the owner and operator of Experience Olympic Tours, based in Port Angeles. She has a master’s degree in environmental science from University of Nevada–Reno and has been an educator since 2003. The program is free and open to the public.

WSU Clallam County Extension is offering a two-day rain garden workshop on Nov. 18-19 in Port Angeles. This workshop is open to landscape designers, installers, maintenance technicians and community members that would like to learn more about rain gardens and other low-impact development practices. The workshop will be taught by Erica Guttman, a WSU educator with extensive experience in rain garden design, installation and maintenance and author of several related publications and videos. The first day of training will be held in the North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center, 905 W. Ninth St., Port Angeles and will focus on rain garden site selection, design, soils/ compost, plant design/selection, costs, maintenance and new regulations. The second day of the workshop will involve installing a rain garden at a home in Port Angeles. This will give participants an opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from the first day’s presentations. On the Olympic Peninsula, demand for properly installed rain gardens is growing, creating a new niche and business opportunity for those with adequate training. State and local regulations are, or soon will be, requiring low-impact development on new construction. The City of Port Angeles offers a $750 rebate to homeowners for installing a rain garden that meets city specifications. The workshop fee is $30 and includes snacks and refreshments, a free copy of the rain garden handbook and other take-away materials. To register, call the Clallam County Extension Office at 565-2679 or e-mail the Master Gardener program coordinator at lhamilton@co.clallam.wa.us.

SEQUIM GAZETTE

Thanks for not voting It seems like each election cycle I find myself baffled at how many — make that, how few — of us decided that voting is an important right to exercise. A few days before we saw the first General Election ballot count on Nov. 3, I mused over the daily ballot count totals: 14 percent, 17 percent, 19 and 21 and just under 24 percent the week before the election. Finally, a surge pushed the countywide ballot count to 22,696 out of 47,509 registered voters — 47.77 percent. For a county that, like the 38 other counties in Washington state, has an all mail-in (or drop in a ballot box) voting, this is not impressive. It’s depressing. That statistic got even more depressing when I pored over statewide stats that show there are only six counties in the state that had better turnout (see results.vote.wa.gov/ Editor’s results/current/Turnout. Corner html). Six! Statewide Michael Dashiell voter turnout will wind up just under 40 percent. Beyond the actual results of the Nov. 3 election, the most common sentiment I heard around our fair town this week was, “Why aren’t people voting?” My friends and I pondered the causes to this non-voting disease: Were the ballots too confusing? Ballot box hidden by overgrown foliage? Run out of stamps? Too busy poring over Donald Trump’s latest screed? In then end, we surmised that folks just don’t care enough to fill out their ballots, which is understandable. Confidence in politicians seems to be at an all-time low, from D.C. to our local boards and committees. It’s an interesting contrast to watch election days in other countries. In Myanmar, turnout is thought to have been 80 percent in the poll as the country takes steps away from decades of military rule. It’s Myanmar’s first openly contested national election for 25 years. People were waiting in long lines before dawn to vote, and despite some described “areas of intimidation,” the elections were conducted peacefully and fairly, according to BBC News. Last year, more than 50 people died in attacks by rebel groups threatening to disrupt any exercise of voting rights in the first multi-candidate election in decades. It seems ludicrous to me that people in Clallam County don’t particularly care if they’re taxed more or less or the same, or who sets policies for the county and/or city they live in, or who sets the direction of their school district. No worries. The way I figure it, with less than half of my neighbors voting, they’ve conceded their ballot and part of that goes to me. With current ballot totals, my vote (and my fellow voters’ vote) was worth about 2.09 votes this November. I’m not really sure you want me holding that much power, folks, but I do thank you for not voting.

Is it really that bad? A list from zippia.com made some headlines the other day, posting some rather disparaging figures on the state of the Olympic Peninsula’s job health. According to Zippia, three of the six worst places in Washington state for employment are right here on our fair peninsula. Port Townsend ranked No. 1, Sequim No. 5 and Port Angeles No. 6 out of 188 ranked cities and towns Zippia compared in their “Worst Place In Washington To Find A Job” list. Looking at only communities of at least 5,000 people, the San Francisco-based website for career planning and employment looked at this criteria: unemployment rate, recent job growth, future job growth, sales taxes and median household income.

I feel compelled to correct statements made last week and the week before in the Sequim Gazette by (former SARC board commissioner) Bill Black regarding promises made by the SARC board when SARC first opened. First, a bit of history. The old Clallam County Park & Recreation District #1 Board visited and researched several well-run facilities with pools and some with pools in conjunction with associated fitness and recreational amenities. The result of that research effort led to some facts learned about public pools. No. 1. Public pools, even those with associated amenities, do not ever fully support themselves. All were, and still are, at least partially supported by other income sources, either by municipalities, counties or United Way. Public pool facilities average at 65 percent income generated and the other 35 percent from those outside sources. Several pools have succeeded in forming Metropolitan Park Districts to guarantee a steady reliable income source and to avoid wasteful spending the $30,000-$40,000 on levy elections every several years. No. 2. Pools standing alone without amenities require larger subsidies to augment income from pool admissions alone.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Perspective about the history, role of SARC

No. 3. On-premises amenities such as gyms, weight rooms, racquetball courts, birthday party rooms and classrooms require relatively little ongoing expense relative to the usage and income they generate, so they create positive cash flow to augment income from pool admissions alone. More people pay to use the facility for many reasons in addition to pool users. From those conclusions, SARC was conceived and built. There were critics that the community didn’t need the gym, the racquetball courts or the weight room, rudimentary as it was then. The public had to be convinced that the amenities proposed would improve the overall cash flow as opposed to anticipated pool revenues alone. The board knew that it was probably unlikely that SARC could ever be fully self-supporting but the promise made to the community was “that the facility would come as close to self-supporting as possible.” Many heard it wrong and put it into their heads that “self supporting” was the promise. It wasn’t. Boards since then have done what they could to dispel the lingering perception but the rumor won’t die. SARC has succeeded to fulfill that promise, operating at approximately 80 percent self-supporting. SARC has been a well-run public facility doing the community proud. Visitors marvel at what a fine facility

SEQ

Sequim had. There are many in the community who came here in part because Sequim had a wonderful fitness facility. At this time, the final chapter is yet to be revealed. But everyone should know that SARC was not a private club. It belonged to the community. Users paid for passes or for admission. It was operating at as close to self-sufficiency as possible and more successfully than all other facilities of its type. S SARC is a public asset. Everyone in the community will lose if we lose SARC. For some reason, the voting public and the city decided SARC was not worth having or saving. It’s unbelievable but true. Melinda Griffith Sequim (Griffith is a SARC board commissioner.)

Get money out of politics Is there anything we can do about money in politics? Yes! There is something we all can/ should/must do! Let’s all get on board Initiative 735, calling for Washington state to support a constitutional amendment which the Supreme Court members can read without glasses, no matter how poor their eyesight: The amendment will grant “ … rights to individuals, not corporations … “ In Washington, the group WAmend is active, having nearly half

the number of names needed to put I-735 on the ballot. As a WAmend volunteer outside one major department store, I call for American voters to register in support of I-735. Though many have given the 30 seconds it takes, I can’t help wondering if the United States might still be a British colony if support by a majority of these passersby had been required. The WAmend petition nails it on the head: “The American people have lost faith in the political process because their voices are not heard and their interests are not represented. Thus, an ever smaller percentage of Americans is motivated to vote.” An occasional non-signer passes by, saying, “It’ll never work.” I am no political scientist, but here’s my guarantee: It will never work unless we Americans get on board behind it. We still need several names in order for Washington to stand shoulder to shoulder with groups in other states also working for the constitutional amendment. Rather than prophesy gloom and doom, do something. Let’s all get on board I-735. And register to vote. “Bad Politicians are elected by Good People who just don’t vote.” Milton Patrie Sequim

Danger comes to Olympic Peninsula? Last November 2014, I returned to live in the beautiful Olympic Peninsula and peaceful Sequim. I built a house here back in to 1980s and I remembered how wonderful and kind the people are. Having lived in New Zealand for seven years, I was homesick for America and for freedom-loving independent-thinking Americans. I love America! I was lonesome for my own culture and weary of living among people who really don’t like Americans — no one does anymore, you know. However if I had understood that the entire Olympic Peninsula was going to become a battlefield for electronic warfare, I never would have moved here. If I had any clue that the military was about to microwave the entire area, I would have preferred drought and gangs further south to an electrified sky. I am shocked and saddened by the often vicious arguments I see regarding this issue. I love my country — that’s why I came home. But to expose thousands of the elderly who reside here to continual electromagnetic frequencies is beyond irresponsible. According to reports, the “Navy will be flying Growler jets — electronic attack aircraft that specialize in radar jamming — in 2,900 training exercises over wilderness, communities and cities across the Olympic Peninsula for 260 days per year, with exercises lasting up to 16 hours per day.” EMFs break down the immune system and concern over cell phone use and WiFi is grow-

The rankings drew the ire of a number of local economic leaders. “We have the highest percentages of entrepreneurs in the state,” Team Jefferson CEO Peter Quinn told the Peninsula Daily News last week. “That we have low sales tax revenue is not indicative of what is going on here.” Port Angeles is not a hard place to find a job, added Bill Greenwood, executive director of the Economic Development Corporation of Clallam County, “if somebody wants to work.” “We don’t have a good job bal-

Support despite accusations Eyman also relished that most voters apparently didn’t give a hoot he was the driving force behind the initiative, though opponents strived to disparage the measure by tying his name to it. This could have been a year for such a tactic to work. Eyman is under investigation by Attorney General Bob Ferguson for allegedly breaking a bunch of election laws in 2012 in order to pass his last antitax measure. He’s been publicly accused of secretly moving hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions between two initiative campaigns and failing to disclose making $300,000 for himself in the process. “They threw everything they had at us,” Eyman said. Now, in an ironic twist, before Ferguson begins prosecuting Eyman for any past electoral hankypanky, he could be defending the legitimacy of the initiative entrepreneur’s latest undertaking.

ing. Aerosol spraying — which I can see and photograph from my house — consists of aluminum which causes dementia, barium which is a poison, strontium and nano-particles that can’t be analyzed. Whether or not you accept that aerosol spraying is occurring here over the peninsula and is harmful to not only human health but also to plants, insects and animals is up to you. But the local business people should understand that sooner or later the word is going to get out that this area is an electronic war zone and all those retirees who are the economic base for this area will simply not want to move here. Many will move away. Real estate always has been the primary economic driver in Sequim — and Sequim goes out of its way to cater to the elderly. But those who can afford to leave will do so when they can no longer tolerate the Growler noise and the electrification of our sky with EMFs. If nothing else, the business people in this area should think of the long-range devastating consequences to the tax base and their wallets. Susan Ferguson Sequim

Perspective on diversity The pamphlets recently distributed around Sequim describe the projected growth of Sequim by 3,800 people in a few short years. Envision the citizens of Sequim extending a welcoming invitation now to 3,800 Syrian refugees. Federal grants would of course have to be obtained to make this more sustainable. We have an abundance of empty stores in Sequim, which could be used as temporary dormitories until more permanent housing could be constructed and the soon to be empty SARC

ance in Port Angeles,” he said. “We have lots of people who are looking for jobs and lots of employers who can’t fill their open positions but we can’t get them to match up.” Other cities making the dubious list include Aberdeen (No. 2), Hoquiam (No. 3), Tacoma (No. 4), Toppenish (No. 7), Lakewood (No. 8), Sunnyside (No. 9) and Ocean Shores (No. 10). Admittedly, some of these Internet lists that make the rounds cause a stir for no good reason. Is it really shocking that Port Townsend and Sequim and Port Angeles struggle to offer the same opportunities that the dozens of cities in the I-5 corridor do? It’s also a bit incongruous to hear community leaders laud the findings of other Internet lists that, for

building as a temporary mosque. Snowbirds could offer their houses to rent during their part-yearly absence. According to news reports, the immigrants are not just Syrians, but also Somalis, Palestinians, Pakistanis and Iraqis, so the resulting multi-cultural rainbow will be even more greatly enhanced. Since the Sequim 120 Plan calls for a more walkable city, these immigrants would be a good fit since most come from rich cultures whose air is not poisoned by automobiles. There is a consensus in the Sequim area that expanded farming would be good for the economy; many of these individuals are accustomed to living off the land so they could possibly be employed in those types of value-added businesses. Sequim could embrace Aleppo, Syria, as an additional sister city. Some of these immigrants were merchants in their lands and they could become stakeholders in our community by setting up tables and booths along Washington Street to market their wares. Connectivity between all the children in the school system would be achieved by teaching classes on Middle Eastern cultures and Arabic (and other languages) as second languages and serving halal food in the cafeteria. As President Obama stated when reflecting upon his youth, there is nothing so beautiful as the call to prayer from the muezzin. There are no minarets for a muezzin in Sequim but the grain elevator might suffice until a minaret could be built. With the mysterious allure of the burka and other Middle Eastern garb, Sequim and the whole of the Dungeness Valley can finally achieve the diversity it has so long sought. Bob McGonigel Sequim

example, extol Sequim as among “The Best Places in America to Retire” or Port Angeles as Outside Magazine’s No. 2 “Best Town Ever,” and not come to grips with a list that has at least a comparable amount of data to drive its conclusion.

Economy healthy ... and not Those curious about the overall state of the U.S. economy got some good news — not great — when the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced a whopping new 271,000 jobs were added to the economy in October. New York Times reporter Neil Irwin looks at the state of the economy with a more circumspect view: “With the good October numbers added to the pile, here is a theory about the state of the economy: There is a big divergence

between the industrial sector, where companies that are exposed to a strong dollar, slowing economies in emerging markets and low oil prices are being hammered, and the broader job market and consumer economy in the United States, which is pretty much fine.”

From page A-12 it personally and happy to report that only three households greeted me with tightlipped restrained anger. Most of those that talked with me were supportive of the school bond. Some were ambivalent and made points such as “the schools should manage expenses better so they could afford to improve facilities,” “the government should be helping schools” — possibly referring to our state Legislature, “My kids aren’t in school anymore,” and “I can’t afford it.” Larger and more scientific studies would need to be done to learn the motivations of voters in voting, not voting, voting for school bonds or not voting for school bonds. What confirms the craziness, both mine and the system’s, is the tyranny of the minority in a democracy. The minority rules when it comes to actually attaching dollars to our expressed values when 60 percent approval is required for school bonds. Think about it. State Initiative 1366 which calls for two-thirds majority approval to raise state taxes won but only required a simple majority to win the November election. We voters can approve minority rule in setting tax rates by one vote but must have 60 percent approval to move students out of unsafe portables and replace a war surplus kitchen. You may like minority rule in a democracy, but does it make sense to you?

The Ghost of SARC The lack of the same 60 percent torpedoed SARC’s February bid to levy a 12-cent property tax when it came in at 57.5 percent approval. Three precincts failed to support the SARC levy. The loss drove SARC to the desperate measure of attempting to become a Metropolitan Park District in the August election, the latter going down in fire and brimstone at 41.7 percent approval. SARC is closed now and may or may not return under the management of the YMCA. I puzzle over the fate of SARC and the responses I heard about the school bond, but take it all seriously. It all seems to me like a failure of trust in institutions and perhaps a failure of leadership. I don’t like voter apathy, but I admit that I don’t understand it. What’s happening that our community forsakes its resources or lets the minority decide what should go and what should stay? The one explanation I reject is that people simply don’t care. After all, a majority voted to improve our school and keep our community pool. Schools, legislators, SARC and other institutions under fire must work to regain the lost trust of the public. I don’t know where or why it went, but we better find it. Better too that we do our best to inspire and renew the public’s faith in a participatory democracy. Bertha D.

Opponents vowed to continue their fight in the courts, confident the state Supreme Court eventually will deem I-1366 an illegal manifestation. “While we are obviously disappointed in the outcome,” began Christian Sinderman, a spokesman for the anti-1366 coalition, “we have felt all along that this measure was likely unconstitutional and look forward to next steps to prevent 1366 from cutting billions from already inadequate education funding.” Eyman figured this might happen. “We knew where the legal land mines were and designed the initiative in a way to not step on any of those land mines,” he said. If he’s right, any explosions this measure sets off will be in the Legislature and on the 2016 campaign trail.

Rum, B.C. bud and the Dungeness Spit by JOHN MAXWELL For the Sequim Gazette

Editor’s note: This is the 11th in a monthly series about the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, past and present. — MD The “Roaring Twenties” of the Prohibition Era was an exciting time: Flappers dancing the Charleston, moonshiners with their backwoods stills, spectacular car chases over winding mountain roads and fast motor boats landing burlap sacks of bottled whisky. Did any of that happen on the North Olympic Peninsula? Did it ever! Articles in the Sequim Press and the Evening News tell the local story. In the U.S., Prohibition took effect on Jan. 16, 1920, but Canada got there first. British Columbia went dry on Oct. 1, 1917, and gave it up as a bad idea on July 15, 1921. B.C. then set up state-run liquor stores and allowed commercial distillers and brewers to operate. Vancouver and Victoria thus became the source for bootleggers in the western U.S. A consortium of distillers in Vancouver rationalized, “Why should we enforce their (U.S.) laws?” It was a huge money-maker for both

Election

From page A-1 know on the 24th.” She and vice chairman Brandino Gibson said they are contacting voters whose ballots were rejected for not having a signature or not having a matching signature. “We are being proactive that those people get their requirements taken care of,” Gibson said. Robinson said her position is that Enumclaw School District’s bond won by four votes in May on the special election’s certification day. “We’re behind right now, so we can’t be behind worse,” Gibson said. “We can only pull it out.” The General Election’s certification on Tuesday, Nov. 24, marks final ballot count. Countywide about 250 ballots haven’t been counted because of either no signature or signatures needing updated, said Ken Hugoniot, Clallam County election supervisor. About 120 of the uncounted ballots are from the Sequim School District. A portion of the uncounted ballots will be tallied, but the amount depends on the number of signatures and/or signature updates returned to county officials by Monday, Nov. 23. Another 32 ballots have been set aside for the Canvassing Board to determine

them and the Canadian government, which was quite happy to collect the customs duties. While the Seattle-Tacoma area was the main customer, you can be sure the North Olympic Peninsula, with its population of harddrinking loggers, fishers and mill workers, also was a customer. The booze was delivered mostly by small, fast motor boats dropping it off at out-of-the-way places like Pillar Point, Port Crescent, Freshwater Bay and Discovery Bay. Evading both Canadian and U.S. Coast Guard ships was a risky business. Canada wanted to make sure the export duties were paid, while the U.S. wanted to stop the traffic completely. The Strait of Juan de Fuca isn’t the roomiest place in the world. By 1925, there were enough of the slower Coast Guard boats armed with .30-caliber machine guns and rapid-fire one-pounder cannons to close Admiralty Inlet completely. More than one rum boat ended up full of holes or destroyed by fire and explosion. By 1928, getting through the gauntlet of patrol boats was like trying to drive the wrong way on I-5 at rush hour. It was dangerous work for both sides. There was action on land, too.

whether to count the vote based on their ability to tell the voter’s intent. Despite the instructions provided, confusion can occur when a voter tries to correct a mistake or make a change on their ballot, Hugoniot said. The Canvassing Board will meet the day before the election is certified to evaluate the 32 unclear ballots.

New county commissioner Though it’s not set in stone either, 53.2 percent of the vote is leaning in District 1 Clallam County Commissioner candidate Mark Ozias’s favor. In preparing to take the seat of his incumbent Jim McEntire, Ozias isn’t moving forward with an “agenda,” but instead he’s taking time to continue to learn about the position, county processes and areas he’d like to address. “My first priority is continuing to educate myself,” he said. “In general, I am focused on next year’s budget. I think we have some real challenges for long-term sustainability.” Although the county’s 2016 final budget has yet to be adopted, Ozias is following the budget process carefully and contributing his thoughts when possible — noting two areas of concern. “Sales tax revenue projections for next year’s budget look pretty ‘rosy’ to me,”

On the North Olympic Peninsula, The Sequim Press edition of May 9, 1930, told about a moonshine shack burning down. “But Jim Walker wasn’t home; he was serving 90 days for bootlegging.” During May 1930, the Evening News carried stories about a moonshiner’s arrest near Forks, and three people arrested on the Port Angeles waterfront for selling liquor. These were just the tip of the iceberg. Despite all the risks, bootlegging returned huge profits. While most bootleggers smuggled only liquor, a few also smuggled opium. It stands to reason Dungeness Spit saw some of the action just as it did in the later era of marijuana. While the light station personnel may have kept a watch for bootleggers, the disappearance of station records from that time leaves us in the dark about it. When tipped off, Federal Prohibition officers were happy to provide a “welcoming committee” to any rum runners coming ashore. Unfortunately, some local law enforcement officers apparently were on the bootleggers’ payroll. An editorial on the front page of the Port Angeles Evening News of Jan. 18, 1923, accused local law enforcement of ignoring the

Ozias said. Additionally, Ozias is unsettled by the amount of county reserves being spent down, as the county relies on its reserves for future, longterm planning and unexpected circumstances or emergencies. Taking a closer look at public health within the county is another priority Ozias has actively identified. For example, Ozias said, “There’s a lot of concern with both heroin addiction and homelessness.” “I want to try to shine a brighter light on the subject of community health,” he said. “Not to say that’s not already happening, but I think there are ways we can improve.” Ozias would like to better support the individuals, county and community organizations working to address such public health concerns, as well as further explore the root causes of the problems. Fostering community engagement is consistent with Ozias’s campaign, where he often mentioned his desire to actively engage and/or reengage stakeholders and residents with local government. “I think there are many reasons why the vote turned out the way it did,” Ozias said. Another concept Ozias often talked about throughout his campaign, and one that residents tended to “respond positively” to is his belief in proactive planning for a future that is most likely, he said. In forecasting the fate of his seat on the Board of Clallam County Commissioners, McEntire sent out a statement on Nov. 6. “As a courtesy to my supporters and in hopes

big operators and going after the “small fry.” The editor wrote, “But it seems a crying shame that Dutch Louie should languish in durance vile for 30 sunsets and get freckles on his reputation for a half-bottle of moonshine, when the boys with the fat purses and that “Port Crescent look” in their eyes, get by and are called blessed.” A Jan. 2, 1923, an article told of a man being arrested for possession, but a subsequent article on Jan. 4 had the police admitting the liquor he was accused of possessing was actually “from other seizures and was dumped in the sewer that day.” Question: Did they really dump it? Prohibition dried up in the U.S. on Dec. 5, 1933. Then came the 1970s and the popularity of the “B.C. Bud” marijuana. An article in the Oct. 27, 1978, Daily News describes 100-pound bales of opium-laced marijuana drifting onto beaches from Point Wilson to Ediz Hook. The bales were contraband thrown overboard during a drug raid in the San Juan Islands the previous Sunday. Beach-combing was suddenly very popular for a few weeks. On Dungeness Spit, the refuge manager’s 1985 Narrative Report

Of eight amendments proposed by the Clallam County Charter Review Board, seven seem set to pass except Amendment No. 6, which would delegate hiring and firing of the director of Community Development to county commissioners. Ted Miller, a member of the Charter Review Board, said he was “delighted” seven of eight amendments passed. He advocated for passing amendment No. 1 where the county’s three districts would only vote for their Clallam County commissioner as opposed to the whole county. Miller said in the past 10-20 years, commissioners predominately have served the Port Angeles area. “All of the money is being spent in the greater Port Angeles area,” Miller said. “They should get the lion’s share but not all of it. Commissioners from their districts should focus on the West End and East End and try to get what’s best for the whole county and not the whole of Port Angeles.” Alana Linderoth and Matthew Nash contributed to this report.

After 43 years in business, the owners of Fred’s Hobbies & Guns, 349-A W. Washington St., are closing up shop. Husband and wife Fred Minker and Linda Phillips began their closing sale on Nov. 10 with discounts on everything. The store will remain open until everything, including furnishings, is sold. Phillips said they’ve been at their location about 30 years after moving from the Sequim Village Shopping Center. Minker said his wife has operated the store the past 20 years since he’s served as the executive director of the Tribal Gaming Agency at 7 Cedars Casino. He tentatively plans to fully retire in the next yearand-a-half.

I keep hearing the same story like a phone that won’t quit ringing. It’s either, “I never did anything about my tooth because it didn’t hurt”, or “maybe I should have taken better care of my teeth but nothing was hurting”. Fortunately, we in Sequim have some of the best dentists in the state to give you care when pains do occur. But I urge that my patients get regular checkups and to see me at the first sign of a problem. That’s the best way to avoid the pain and expense of neglect. As the hackneyed aphorism says “be true to your teeth and they will never be false to you”.

tells us: One of the more serious offenses now occurring in the Northwest is drug smuggling. DEA and other law enforcement agencies have been able to curtail some of these activities in California and southern Oregon, but the northwest coast of Washington State is sparsely populated and entry is relatively easy and goes unnoticed most of the time. Small boats going out at night to Dungeness and Graveyard spits to a prearranged drop site are an ongoing occurrence. Invariably a person is left “on guard” at a vehicle on Cline Spit while a small boat without lights goes out for 30 minutes to two hours, returns and leaves. For some reason Clallam County Sheriff’s Office is not willing to respond. In 2003, Homeland Security began increasing the number of agents on the North Olympic Peninsula. They are tasked to intercept terrorists, illegal aliens and drug smugglers. Intercepting smugglers still is a dangerous business and these days they tend to be more heavily armed than they were in the Roaring Twenties.

that the vote totals would eventually spell a return to office, I awaited this afternoon’s (Friday, Nov. 6) vote count,” McEntire wrote in his statement. “It appears that my hopes for the voters returning me to office are unfulfilled.” McEntire congratulated Ozias and offered to assist him in any way as he prepares to take on the role of Clallam County District 1 Commissioner.

Musicians, from left, LeRoy Davidson, Lupe (Tess) Teel, Jason Paul and Dave Keyte, gather regularly to rehearse and exchange a shared passion, talent and appreciation for music. Since February, Paul, Keyte, Teel and Tom East (not pictured) have joined their musical interest to create a smooth jazz band known as BlueSkyz. Sequim Gazette photo by Alana Linderoth

Musicians infuse Sequim with sounds of smooth jazz BY ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Something sounds different in Sequim. Pleasant, relaxing and intimate notes are beginning to resonate among residents since a group of local musicians first collaborated in February to create a smooth jazz band, BlueSkyz. “We realized we were all pretty good musicians on our own, but when we did our first gig together something happened and it just worked,” Lupe (Tess) Teel, vocalist for BlueSkyz, said. Teel was led to the rest of her soon-to-be band mates by her thirst for familiar music and a place to sing. Although

she and her husband had owned a house in Discovery Bay for more than 10 years, it wasn’t until two years ago that they decided to leave California. Having sung since childhood, but with experience in classical, opera and choir, the transition to jazz and to singing solo were new to Teel. “Jazz isn’t something I’d ever sung so I was pretty intimidated by it and I’ve always been part of an ensemble,” she said. “This was a real trust fall for me.” But, with well-versed musicians like Jason Paul, Dave Keyte and Tom East pushing Teel to experiment with jazz and challenge her voice to try new things, she finds herself in a state on personal discovery. “They’re pushing me to grow as an artist,” she said. “I’m learning a lot about my own talents and it’s opening new doors.” Teel describes BlueSkyz guitarist Paul as the “foundation” of the group, as he directs a lot of the arranging. Whereas,

East on the keyboard and Keyte with his electronic wind instrument “work like butter to fill in the cracks.” The electronic wind instrument can create 100 sounds, such as the saxophone, trumpet, flute, french horn and harmonica, and thus provides Keyte with the ability to fit the mood and needs of nearly every song. “It allows me a variety of things that I can do with the group,” Keyte said. Together the musicians of BlueSkyz, named to reflect Sequim, produce a smooth and lingering sound. “It’s mellow, put your feet up and relax into it kind of music,” Teel said. The band primarily performs from “The Great American Songbook,” also known as “American Standards,” which encompass important and influential American popular songs and jazz standards from the early 20th century. “We play stuff that most everyone has heard before, but we

From crayons to quilts

Quilters re-imagine kinder art by MATTHEW NASH

Greywolf students Colby Waters and Brynlee Dearinger show off their new quilts that Ilise Osier and Lydia Nelson made reinterpreting their artwork for the Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Club’s annual show in July. The quilters gave the art back to the young artists on Nov. 5 as a thank you.

Sequim Gazette

Two Greywolf Elementary students recently saw their refrigerator art become cloth keepsakes. Lydia Nelson and Ilise Osier, members of the Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Club, earlier this year asked for help to participate in their club’s annual Challenge Quilt contest “Through the Eyes of a Child” featured at their show during Lavender Weekend. Their task — base a quilt on a piece of art from a child under 12 using various techniques with three layers and a few other standards. Nelson and Osier said they didn’t know any younger children since Ilise’s youngest grandchild is 17 and Nelson doesn’t have children. So through the grapevine, they connected with Greywolf kindergarten teacher Patty Sullivan and her two former students Colby Waters, 7, and Brynlee Dearinger, 6, now first-graders in Leigh Ann Koenig’s first-grade class. Colby and Brynlee drew the quilters two pictures for their quilts — a Tyrannosaurus Rex and a snow girl. From there the quilters could use a number of techniques

“Our Leading Lady,” written by Charles Busch, set in April of 1865 on the eve of the conclusion of the Civil War, recounts the struggles of real life Laura Keene, a remarkable woman who was a major influence on American theater in the mid-19th century. Directed by Richard Stephens and produced by Dr. Lara Starcevich, “Our Leading Lady” is a backstage comedy that will take a bow at Peninsula College’s Little Theater (1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd., Port Angeles) in November.

Stephens returns as director and production designer to Peninsula College, having previously designed and directed “Salome” and “Return to the Forbidden Planet.” He also has designed numerous productions for Peninsula College including “Freak Like Me,” “The Rocky Horror Show” and “Cannibal, the Musical.” “This play is such a great love letter to the people who work every day in theater,” Stephens said. The cast will feature the leading roles of Jade Evans as Laura Keene and Daylin Scott as Harry Hawk. Other actors include K. MacGregor as Gavin De Chamblay, Megan Mundy as Verbena De Chamblay, Debbie Bourquin as Maude Bentley, Hugh Carino as W.J.

Paul said. Having performed at Nourish semi-regularly during its Wednesday open mic nights, those with Blueskyz recognize how plentiful musical talent is within Sequim. The large demographic of retirees allows lifelong musicians either the time to play, Teel explained, or the time to discover and “awaken” an ability to play an instrument or sing. Because of the diversity and depth of musical talent in Sequim and surrounding areas, Paul would like to see the North Olympic Peninsula become a “musical destination,” he said, but also realizes that’s a

“lofty” goal. Public venues to perform live are becoming more limited in and around Sequim as royalty fees from agencies like the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) and Broadcast Music, Inc (BMI), are becoming too expensive for local establishments to afford. The Oasis Bar & Grill, 301 E. Washington St., one of Sequim’s few venues, hosted its last live music performance on New Year’s Eve after years of pressure from music licensing companies to pay royalties for songs being played by performers. Teel, Davidson and other members of BlueSkyz all share a sense of respect and support of the process to protect the intellectual work of fellow musicians and songwriters, but a challenge is finding the balance between managing those rights and associated fees with affordability of local venues. “There’s so much talent here, we just need more places to play,” Teel said. “Music touches us in a way that spoken words just can’t,” she said. “There’s something about music that is hardwired into us and you can share it with anybody — it’s the great

equalizer.” To ensure the future of live music and creative expression, Teel finds optimism in creative solutions and grassroots efforts, like a community supported performing arts center for example. “First, we musicia ns need to make enough noise to make people aware of the creativity being smothered,” she said. As BlueSkyz continues to evolve and grow, Teel would like to see the band do more of what they’ve been doing, such as performing at dinner events, private parties, galleries and community galas. “I think people are just getting to know us,” she said. Beyond Nourish, BlueSkyz has performed at a variety of venues, from Pleasant Harbor Marina Resort in Brinnon and Sunland Golf & Country Club in Sequim, to Pippa’s Real Tea in Port Townsend.

Osier said she had to look up what a T-Rex exactly looked like but she enjoyed the challenge a lot. On Nov. 5, the quilters got the chance to thank the students for their help by surprising them with the quilts.

“I felt like we had to give it back,” Osier said. “It’s not our art.” The students gleefully accepted the quilts in front of their old kindergarten classroom and both said they had good places in their minds where to hang the quilts in their rooms. The quilters said they didn’t win any awards at the annual show for their work but that was the least of their concerns. “Doing this quilt made me feel like I won,” Nelson said.

On Saturday, Nov. 21, BlueSkyz will be the featured artists, where they plan to pair their talents with those at the restaurant to create an evening worth remembering, Teel said. The creative and fluid atmosphere of Nourish with a variety of local artists’ work on display and food which is its own form of artistic expression, provides an inspiring stage for bands such as BlueSkyz. “Nourish does a culinary performance of their own so we hope to augment that experience and enhance the whole environment,”

An acerbic theatre critic breaks his leg while on a lecture tour in the Midwest and is forced to stay a bit longer at the home of his host family, ultimately taking over the house with his demands and visiting Broadway luminary friends. This classic American comedy promises lots of laughs for everyone. — Directed by Olivia Shea.

Shreffler, Despain earn top-10 state individual finishes by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

Running with the best prep runners in the state, Sequim’s cross country squads brought home some hardware and a pair of top-12 finishes. Sequim’s senior-laden boys team took third and the SHS girls were 12th at the 2A state championships in Pasco on Nov. 7, their best combined finish since 2008. That season, Sequim’s girls took fourth and boys were 11th. “It’s really a good year when you get both (teams) there,” Sequim head coach Harold Huff said. On the boys’ side, perennial state boys’ 2A title contender Sehome was simply too much for Sequim, Liberty-Issaquah and all other challengers. “Sehome was better than I thought they were; they were really strong,” Huff said. “There wasn’t anybody (who was) going to beat them. They’ve got that huge program, massive numbers. It just allows you to come up with

teams every year.” Led by seniors Colton Johnsen (second place) and Riley Allsop (third), Sehome tallied 55 team points, outpacing Liberty (112), Sequim (124) and Lindberg (159). Senior Brendon Despain led the

SHS boys with a ninth-place individual finish, covering the 5,000 meters in 16:05 — 33 seconds better than his 2014 performance. Fellow senior Jackson Oliver was just nine seconds back of his teammate in 14th place (16:14).

“I thought Brendon and Jackson had outstanding races,” Huff said. Ash Francis was 32nd overall with a 16:36 finish and was the second-fastest freshman in the boys’ 2A race; Kyle Radosevic of Ridgefield was 22nd at 16:21. “Ash ran a solid race, good solid race — and he’s only going to get faster,” Huff said. “He’s going to do great in this sport.” SHS seniors Wendall Lorenzen (16:50) was 45th, Chris Jeffko was 58th (16:57), C.J. Daniels (17:08) was 72nd and Christian Ash (19:12) was 134th. For Lorenzen, it was a personal best over 5,000 meters by 13 seconds and his first 5k mark under 17 minutes. “(Wendall) has been fantastic as the season’s progressed; he had a great race Saturday,” Huff said. “The other guys ran good races (but) they’ve run better races.” On the girls’ side, SHS senior Waverly Shreffler ran to a sixthplace finish with a 19:12 mark over 5,000 meters. The finish was 50-second and 27-place improvement over her 2014 effort at the 2014 state meet. “Waverly … ran a good, steady race,” Huff said. “She just kept

One Sequim girl is set to return to the 2A state swimming and diving championships on Nov. 13 and 14 at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. Sophomore Sydnee Linnane qualified for state in the 100 yard backstroke for the second year in a row at districts. Linnane placed 10th in the 100 yard backstroke finals at 1:08.25 besting her preliminary time of 1:08.38. Last year, Linnane placed 19th in the 100 backstroke at state. While Linnane may be the only Wolves swimmer to advance, a few other teammates came close at the West Central District 3 Swimming Championships on Nov. 7 at Hazen High School. Senior Victoria Fitzpatrick, who qualified in seven events for districts like Linnane, was the only other Sequim swimmer to make the finals individually placing 12th in the 100 fly at 1:10.63. Linnane was on the cusp of the finals in the 50 free taking 14th at 27.68 while Fitzpatrick swam the 100 free and took 18th at 1:02.21. The two girls’ 200 medley team including Jessica Craig and Stephanie Grow also made the finals and placed 12th with a finals time of 2:11.34. Craig also qualified for districts in the 200 IM and placed 21st at 2:45.54. Two more girls, Joie Darminio and Jaycee Thompson-Porrazzo wild carded into two events. Darminio swam the 100 breaststroke at 1:25.25 and placed 21st

VOLLEYBALL - WEST CENTRAL DISTRICT 2A TOURNAMENT

Wolves beat Bucs for 2A state berth SHS rebounds from first round loss, wins three in a row to qualify for prep finals by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

The fourth time was a charm.

took four tough sets (25-21, 21-25, 25-23, 25-23) for Sequim to oust their rivals. Sequim started the tourney with a three-set loss to Franklin Pierce (25-19, 25-23 and 25-16) on Nov. 6. The Wolves were adjusting to a different lineup, as Sequim coach Jennie Webber Heilman switched Adrienne Haggerty to the middle to help with blocking and Maddy Potts to the right side for hitting. “It probably didn’t help us at first but it did in the end,” Webber Heilman said. “We thought if we could take the second game, we might have a chance.” Megan Breckenridge led the team with seven kills and 22

digs. Ella Christiansen had four blocks and McKenzie Bentz chipped in with 19 digs. The Wolves were nearly perfect at the service stripe, going 58-for-59. Instead, Franklin Pierce advanced to the second round and wound up placing fourth and Sequim faced the prospect of having to win three matches in a row to move on to state. Later that day, Sequim knocked off Sammamish in three sets (25-15, 25-22 and 25-20) to stay alive. Haggerty led the way with seven kills and five blocks — both team highs — and Balkan paced the offense with seven assists. Breckenridge was 21-of-22 on serves with five aces. She and Bentz combined for 25 digs. “It was nice to have a game like that to get a little confidence going,” Webber Heilman said. “We were getting some good blocks and (Sammamish’s 6-foot 4-inch Promise Taylor) was the only one that was hitting.” That set up a consolation semifinal against Foster, a team that had come off a drubbing at the hands of district champ White River. Sequim dominated from the outset, slipped in the second set and got back on track in a four-set win (2510, 25-27, 25-14 and 25-16). Christiansen paced the SHS offense with 14 kills and five aces. Balkan added 16 assists and four aces, and the Wolves were sharp from the service line, going 95-for-98. “All season long we’d get ahead (and then let the team back in),” Webber Heilman said. “We kind of buckled down and we played more of our game.” H a g ger t y h ad n ine blocks in the win against Foster. “That’s more than she’s had in the last half of the season,” Webber Heilman said. “That’s been something we’ve been working on.” The Sequim victory set up a consolation final with Kingston, a team Sequim had played three times this season, twice in regular league play and once at the Olympic League tourney. In each case, the Buccaneers prevailed. “Right away our blocking was better,” Webber

Heilman said. “Defensively, we were playing really well.” Sequim jumped out to a lead with a 25-21 win in the first set but dropped the second set by the same score. The Bucs were hitting over Sydney Balkan on the right side, Webber Heilman noted, so she switched the Sequim setter with flip-flopped Jadyn Overby. “They couldn’t hit down the line like they were doing (after that,” Webber Heilman said. “We adjusted our stuff to get a better block on them.” Sequim won set three, 25-23, and set four 25-23 in a nail-biting finish. Breckenridge had a team-high 10 kills, Balkan had 14 assists and Haggerty, Christiansen and Potts combined for 13 blocks. Bentz (24 digs) and Breckenridge (23 digs) led the Wolves’ defense. “We had a different lineup every time (we played Kingston) but we finally pulled it together,” Webber Heilman said. Nichole Day led the Bucs with 25 kills and 13 digs. “It was pretty exciting,” the Sequim coach said. “It was fun because we had a good group of parents cheering for us. And we like playing them (Kingston) because they’re a nice team to play.”

picking off runners.” Huff credits the miles Shreffler logged during the offseason. “It’s the mileage; she’s so much faster this year because she trained over the summer,” Huff said. “She’s got the gift of speed to start with but that only gets you so far.” Sequim sophomore Kiara Pierson and senior Audrey Shingleton finished in a virtual dead heat with 21:12 marks, good for 86th and 87th, respectively. SHS junior Elizabeth Rosales was 118th at 22:28, senior Emily Webb came in at 122nd (23:00), sophomore Noelle Bittner was 128th with a 23:08 mark, and senior Alexis Cromer was 130th at 23:16. “All the girls ran a great race,” SHS’s Kiara Pierson (54) and Audrey Shingleton race in Huff said, noting that Sequim’s Saturday’s cross country 2A finals in Pasco. Sequim’s girls beat two teams at state — girls team placed 12th. White River and Lindberg — they placed behind at districts just a week before. Liberty-Issaquah’s girls, who placed third last year, won the 2015 team title, with defending champ Sehome in second.

On to state

Sequim goes up against Ellensburg to open the class 2A state tournament, set for Nov. 13-14 at St. Martin’s University in Lacey. The winner of the match plays the winner of the North Kitsap-Anacortes match, while the losing squads of both matches play each other in a loserout consolation match, also set for Nov. 13. Webber Heilman said the goal for the Wolves at state is clear. “We want to win at least one; that’s always our goal,” she said. “It’s really tough going over there and playing (but we) always want to play on Saturday.” Webber Heilman said the Wolves’ season was “up and down” with multiple lineup changes, but that the adjustments paid off at the close of the district tournament. “You want to be crying because you’re going (to state), not because you’re not going,” she said.

They’re back. After a brief (one season) departure, the Peninsula College men’s soccer squad is returning to the NWAC Final Four and seeking its fourth conference championship in six seasons. Peninsula punched its ticket Saturday after a 1-0 win against Walla Walla, getting the game-winning goal on a set piece from sophomore midfielder Trevan Estrellado. “We knew coming in it was going to ESTRELLADO be a tough game,” Peninsula coach Cale Rodriguez said. “In the playoffs, you have tough games and you have to grind it out. It took a special goal (to end it).” Both teams had solid chances in the first half on a wet and windy Saturday at PC’s Wally Sigmar field, but Peninsula keeper Nick Johnson and Warrior counterpart Francisco

Flores helped keep the game knotted at 0-0 for one half. “We got off to a good start but they probably had the better of the first half,” Rodriguez said. “They (Walla Walla) didn’t have clear chances. The back line and Nick were fantastic the entire game.” Estrellado put the Pirates on top with a rifling shot to the far post past Flores and the Peninsula de-

fense held tight for the single-score victory. Both teams battles wet, windy conditions. “I try not to think about the weather too much (but) the weather plays a role,” Rodriguez said. “Our guys battled. Both teams battled.” In their only meeting this year, the Pirates and Warriors played to a scoreless tie in both teams’

season opener back on Aug. 29 in Springfield, Ore. The Pirates move on to challenge Chemeketa, who edged Highline Saturday on penalty kicks (5-4). The teams face off at Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila at 6 p.m. on Nov. 14. The winner of that match gets the winner of a Spokane-Tacoma match for the NWAC championship at 5:30

p.m. on Nov. 15, also at Starfire. Peninsula won titles in 2010, 2012 and 2013, all under the tutelage of head coach Andrew Chapman. The Pirates qualified for the postseason in 2014 but fell to North Idaho in the quarterfinals. In the first year under coach Rodriguez, Peninsula won the North Division with an 11-2-2 conference record and is now 14-3-3 overall. It was the seventh straight division championship for the PC men. “Getting through the North (division) was difficult; I think we’re battle-tested,” Rodriguez said. “I knew expectations were high and I knew we had the players to get there (to the NWAC Final Four,” he said. “We just want to put ourselves in a position to be successful.”

It took about 105 minutes for Peninsula’s Pirates to break through North Idaho’s stout defense and move on the semifinals. Myu Ban’s free kick late in the second overtime period looked to break a scoreless tie and teammate Ellie Small’s rebound putback ensured the “golden goal” as the Pirates knocked off the visiting Cardinals on Saturday, sending PC to the conference finals for the fifth time in as many seasons. There, the Pirates will look to knock off Highline — a familiar foe from years in the West Division before Peninsula migrated to the North this year — in an NWAC semifinal on Nov. 14 in Tukwila. The winner of that match lines up against either Shoreline or Spokane in the NWAC title game at 3 p.m. on Nov. 15. Peninsula is familiar with the NWAC Final Four, held each year at Tukwila’s Starfire Sports Complex. The Pirates were crowned conference champs in 2012 and 2013, and were runner-ups in 2011 and last season. “I’m starting to appreciate the enormity of it,” Peninsula coach Kanyon Anderson said.

On Saturday, they needed all of regulation and nearly all of the second overtime to earn their Final Four ticket against a defensive-minded North Idaho club. “Defensively, they were really organized,” Anderson said. “It seemed like their strategy was to not give up a goal. They did a great job of limiting our opportunities. (Also), the weather conditions made it difficult to build up an attack.” Peninsula managed just two official shots on goal as they worked to penetrate the Cardinal defense for 90 minutes and the first 10-minute overtime; North Idaho had

four shots on goal. “The shot count (disparity) is a little misleading; they would let them fly from a long ways away,” Anderson said. “Honestly, I felt we played a little not to lose.” Finally, with five minutes to play before the second overtime ended — and triggering a penalty kick shootout — Peninsula earned a free kick deep in Cardinal territory, just left of the penalty box. Anderson called for Ban, a freshman midfielder from Japan, to take the kick. “Myu doesn’t hit all of those for us but it seems like she’s very accurate with her placement with the ball,” Anderson

said. “It seemed like she could find a gap or an angle. Obviously, she did.” Ban rifled a shot that looked to pass the goal line as North Idaho keeper Cassandra van der Mey tried to block it. The ball was briefly cleared, but PC’s Small, a freshman forward from Reno, Nev., knocked it back in and Peninsula players erupted from the bench. “Ellie was right there to make sure the referee didn’t

make a mistake,” Anderson noted. Peninsula moves on to tackle Highline, a perennial playoff squad that finished second to PC in the North Division last season and edged Bellevue for the West Division crown this season. “At this stage anything can happen,” Anderson said. “The weather’s supposed to be nasty and that field is fast.” While that may keep the scoring low, the PC coach said that may not be such a disadvantage for top-ranked Peninsula, who led the conference with 86 goals. Highline advanced to the Final Four with a 2-0 home win Saturday against Clark.

relationships. Have you ever seen a couple together who are both texting on their phones? Those are relationships I would not bet on their survival. As you are raising a young child, think of the strong friendships you have developed over the years. Encourage your child no matter what age to develop friendships. Don’t hesitate to take the phone away; you may be surprised at the positive results when he has a “friend” over to play or to spend the night. Walter Winchell said, “A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.” Khalil Gibran said, “Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.” Charles Caleb Colton said, “True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.” Helen Keller said, “Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.” In many ways, it takes a lifetime to truly understand the importance of friends. It is a long and rewarding journey but this is one of its great rewards. Cynthia Martin is the founder of the First Teacher program and director of Parenting Matters Foundation, which publishes newsletters for parents, caregivers and grandparents.

Welfare for Animals Guild

(360) 460-6258 www.petfinder.com welfare4animals@hotmail.com Sponsored by caring pet lovers. CASINO and his siblings came to us as strays. Casino is very sweet, affectionate and gets along with dogs. He is a high energy dog, very smart and will need an active family and another 4-legged friend to play with. Because of his prey drive, no cats or small animals. We don’t know exactly how old he is and are guessing at the breed. We do know is that he is one of the nicest dogs you will find. He has completed basic obedience training and is ready for his new home. BAILEY came to us with her brother when her owner went into assisted living. She loved her person, but apparently was not socialized with other people or dogs. She was very fearful. She has adjusted well and learned to trust. She is very sweet and will melt you heart. She is a snuggler and loves her walks and riding in the car. Bailey is very playful and would do best in a home with another little dog or children to play with.
