The Dungeness Schoolhouse is now fully accessible to visitors of all ages and levels of mobility. Volunteers recently learned that the schoolhouse’s new elevator lift received its necessary permits for operation. Gone are the days of using the chairlift, aka “Galloping Gerdy” known for shaking halfway up the stairs and taking three round trips before stopping for the day.

Cranksgiving origins

Cranksgiving started as one of several annual bike messenger “alleycat” races in New York City in 1999. Each year, it’s held on the Saturday before Thanksgiving as a way for messengers and other urban cyclists to socialize, compete and enjoy themselves while also raising food for local soup kitchens or food pantries in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. The event has been adopted by organizers in numerous cities in one form or another, where all types of cyclists participate to have fun while

benefiting a local charity. Event organizers say Cranksgiving events not only help local causes but also promote independence from car usage, health through exercise, community involvement and more. Cranksgiving attempts to replicate the somewhat random element of a messenger work day but in an enjoyable, competitive and charitable way — a kind of scavenger hunt on wheels with rules. For more information about Sequim’s Cranksgiving event, call Tom Coonelly at 681-7053.

Sequim Gazette

For the next six weeks scientists will scatter throughout the Olympic Peninsula by land and the air gathering data on the area’s storm events with a particular interest in rain and snow. The data collected won’t only deepen the understanding of weather and potentially the ability to monitor storm event s, flooding and drought, but the research is aimed at assessing the function of

the Global Precipitation Mission (GPM). To validate the GPM, scientists are taking a variety of ground measurements using both ground- and aircraft-based radars, passive microwave instruments and airborne microphysical sampling. The effort led by NASA in collaboration with the University of Washington and the National Science Foundation, among others, is known as OLYMPEX, or the NASA Global Precipitation Measurement Mission Olympic Mountains Ground Validation Experiment. The core satellite of GPM intended to measure rain and snow globally, especially in areas where little is known, was launched in February 2014.

The National Science Foundation is supporting a University of Washington grant to deploy a “Doppler on Wheels” radar for the ground validation experiment under way on the Olympic Peninsula. The radar near Lake Quinault is being used to obtain data to better understand the processes that cause rapid growth and fallout of precipitation on the windward side the mountain ranges.

“The GPM constellation of satellites must be able to detect solid and liquid precipitation over a large range of intensities and a wide range of regimes,” according to the OLYMPEX Ground Validation Experiment Field Operations Plan. The ground validation field campaigns are “vital” according to the OLYMPEX plan when trying to determine the accuracy of the mission’s equipment and how to apply the collected data.

Measurements being made Under OLYMPEX, a concentrated window of data collection kicked off Nov. 10 and will continue through Dec. 22, where three types of aircraft with varying capabilities for data collection will be used in collaboration with a handful of radars and ground-based sensors. “Most of the radars will be operating all the time, but the aircraft are tied to decisions

like Robert Houze, professor of Atmospheric Sciences at UW, have been involved with the field campaigns for much longer, she said. “When we first started doing the ground validation campaigns it was decided to come here (Olympic Peninsula) last because it’s the most complicated,” McMurdie said. Examples of other GPM ground validation field campaigns include the Iowa Flood Studies in 2013 in northeastern Iowa, the 2012 Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment in central Oklahoma and the 2012 GPM Cold Season Precipitation Experiment conducted over and near the Ontario, Canada, and the Great Lakes.

The intensive, aircraftdependent aspect of OLYMPEX is under way, but the field campaign is scheduled to run through next winter with an Operations Center at the UW where the project’s overall components and daily operations are managed.

Raffle tickets are on sale at the River Center. The winning ticket will be drawn at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 21, at the close of Nature Mart. The winner does not need to be present. The one-of-a-kind gifts and ornaments with nature themes range from cornhusk dolls and decorative items, scarves and purses made from antique silk, to pet toys and treats. The River Center gift shop also is stocked with many gift items including patches and pins commemorating the 100th anniversary of the historical Railroad Bridge.

They also reported that the cost of bringing the Port Angeles customer office up to code and expanding to allow customer service for electric, water and sewer would have cost the same as a new building or moving to the new headquarters on property they already own in Carlsborg. For the project, Lawhead Architects P.S. from Bellevue served as architect and Neeley Construction & Cabinet Company from Puyallup served as the primary contractor while bringing in several local subcontractors on-site throughout the projects.

The new span of the steel bridge at Railroad Bridge Park held its own luck on Friday, Nov. 13. Two trees fell that afternoon after the Dungeness River swept out their roots, said Powell Jones, executive director of the Dungeness River Audubon Center. “I’m happy to report the new section took it like a champ,” he said. Park host Charlie Yozgott reported to Jones that when the trees hit the bridge it rang out like a bell, Jones said. There isn’t a set date for reopening the bridge and its portion of the Olympic Discovery Trail but Powell said they still anticipate it opening by the end of the year.

From page A-3 Ideal location But, when it comes to studying storms and testing GPM satellites’ ability to obtain a wide variety of data on snow and rain, the Olympic Peninsula is “ideal,” according to the OLYMPEX plan. “In one compact area, the Olympic Peninsula ranges from ocean to coast to land to mountains, where the

event-goers over the years but not anymore. The new elevator meets ADA requirements and helps those with mobility issues travel with ease from the former cloak room downstairs to the closet upstairs next to the main meeting room. Project manager Louie Rychlik said they received construction permits on May 21, began construction that day and received their final Clallam County inspection on Nov. 9. An effort to install a new elevator dates back to September 2013, says Judy Stipe, executive director of the Museum & Arts Center, which owns and operates the schoolhouse. “With the existing restrooms, now it’s user-friendly for all schoolhouse patrons,” she said. Volunteers said they’ll transport passengers with limited mobility in the elevator including those with wheelchairs. It can hold up to 750 pounds. Rychlik said there will be an operator for events to ensure it is used properly. Fundraising for the elevator began last year with the museum contributing $1,000 followed by a donation from the Albert Haller Foundation of $20,000. Local performer Shelley Taylor organized a performance in November 2014 collaborating with Readers Theatre Plus to raise $2,400 and local patrons contributed another $3,000 in the following weeks. The construction cost for labor was donated by Daniel L. Smith of Dan Smith Construction with Thomas Building Center providing a discount on building materials and Bill Littlejohn donating half of them. Rychlik donated his time with Smith installing the trim, supports and carpentry to ready the shaft for the lift. Both men come from Sequim-Dungeness pioneer families and have strong backgrounds here with Smith of the Sprague Pioneer Family and Rychlik a student at the schoolhouse. Stipe said Smith and Rychlik saved the museum about $30,000 with their probono work. “There’s a million remarks we could have about how important he (Smith) was to this project,” Stipe said. “It’s amazing. If we didn’t have him, this would not be done.”

challenging because of some of the remote areas accessed, including portions of Olympic National Park. The majority of data will be collected in and around the Quinault and Chehalis river basins given they’re located in the wetter southwest side of the Olympic Mountains. Thoughtfully placed radars and ground instrumentation are being used to sample storms as they approach from the Pacific Ocean and morph to pass over the higher elevations. Still, the drier, leeward side located to the north and northeast of the Olympic Mountains, including the Sequim area, is an part of the field campaign. “There’s stuff on that side, too … don’t think we have forgotten you,” McMurdie said, referring to the residents of Sequim.

While a majority of the project is paid for, including the elevator, some debt remains along with annual inspections and certifications that must be paid for through donations and special events.

Christmas Tea Installation for the new elevator had perfect timing with the museum hosting its annual Christmas Tea from 1-4:30 p.m. Saturday-Sunday, Dec. 5-6. The free event that’s run for more than four decades features an old-fashioned Victorian tea upstairs and a bake sale, Christmas gift sale, appearances by Santa and Mrs. Claus, an antique car show outside and tours of the old school rooms. Volunteers say the tea is the museum’s biggest annual fundraiser for the schoolhouse through donations. Vendor space is available by contacting the museum at 681-2257 or sequim museum@olypen.com. Overall, the schoolhouse serves an important role for the museum, volunteers said. Stipe said rentals for the building subsidize utilities and insurance for the museum’s DeWitt Administration Building, Exhibit Building and the schoolhouse. Bob Stipe, schoolhouse manager and museum board of trustees’ secretary, said they average at least five regular renters each week and they’ve seen a

temporary equipment on the leeward side of the mountains in and around Hurricane Ridge, including a small radar capable of recording the speed of falling raindrops and an instrument that takes high-speed photographs of the crystals of falling rain or snow. Additionally, McMurdie said, the project partner Environment Canada has a radar on Vancouver Island directly north of Sequim that looks toward Hurricane Ridge. The radar measurement taken from Environment Canada will help document the “leeside” processes. “People get very exciting when field campaign happens, but the real work really occurs afterward,” McMurdie said. “The hard part is making measurements that will be good later.”

significant increase in revenue from the schoolhouse. “We saw a 70 percent increase in the amount of renters and revenue in just three months in March 2014 compared to all of 2013,” he said. The schoolhouse opened in 1893 and is on the National Registry of Historic Places. Brochures on the schoolhouse are available outside the building and online at sequimmuseum.com. dents are registered volunteers with the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network. However, since OLYMPEX began, there’s been an increase in interest, he said. Michalski, with the National Weather Service, is the regional coordinator for the western Washington Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network. “Since early October, we’ve got ten a couple new observers a week,” he said. “The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network helps to provide a denser set of calculation.” For more information on OLYMPEX, visit olympex. atmos.washington.edu or pmm.nasa.gov/olympex.

Other information anticipated to be helpful when compiling all the data and measurements following the field campaign is the data collected from local residents and volunteers within Clallam County, McMurdie said. “A lot of people with the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network are in the Sequim area,” she said. The network is a nationwide nonprofit, community-based network of volunteers of all ages and backgrounds working to measure and map precipitation with low-cost measurement tools.

Sequim hair stylist marks three decades in business As fads come and go, Glas adapts, adjusts by PATRICIA MORRISON COATE Sequim Gazette

For a business to have 30 years under its belt is a worthy accomplishment but when you’re a one-woman operation, it’s even more impressive. Port Angeles native Chris Glas marks three decades in the hairstyling business as an owner/operator this month and says it’s been a great career. “I have worked full time, except for two surgeries, five days a week for 30 years,” the gregarious Glas said. “I didn’t even have a phone when I first started in 1985 in Sequim. People just started walking in.” Glas, 64, said she always knew she wanted to be a beautician — from age 6 she’d set the hair of her aunt and grandmother, fascinated by the techniques and artistry involved. In 1969, she attended the first beauty school in Port Angeles and graduated from Ballard Beauty School in 1970, which she still recalls as “an amazing experience.” Over the decades, Glas has seen hairstyle fads come and go — from late 1960s bouffants and long, straight hair, to the Farrah Fawcett feathered look and Dorothy Hamill wedge cuts in the 1970s, to the “big hair” 1980s. She even remembers it was a “big deal” to learn how to use portable hair dryers, newly introduced around 1968.

Clear Water Bidets recently moved three buildings down to 151 Ruth’s Place, Ste. 4, in Carlsborg. The business expanded from 2,700 square feet to 6,000 square feet with a much larger showroom and three demonstration bathrooms. Clear Water Bidets just joined the SequimDungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce and will be holding a ribbon cutting event after the first of the year. The business now carries Alpha JX bidet seats. For more information about it and other bidets, see www. ClearWaterBidets.com.

OMC Home Health honored Olympic Medical Home Health was recognized for the 10th year in a row by HomeCare Elite, a national review that identifies the top 25 percent of all Medicare-certified home health agencies. Just 131 organizations nationwide have earned a HomeCare Elite award every year since the inception of the award in 2006. OMHH is among only 22 HomeCare Elite winners in Washington. The public is invited to an open house from 4-5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, at Olympic Medical Home Health’s new location at 801 E. Front St., Port Angeles, to celebrate 10 years of award-winning care. Call Olympic Medical Home Health at 417-7315.

“Everything goes around but with new terminology, the language has changed in the business,” Glas said. “We used to frost but now it’s called foiling. We used to have Dippity-do — now it’s mousse. But it’s all the same. I still perm, do body waves, highlighting and I still even put big brush rollers in, although they are hard to find.” Hair dying remains a staple because, as Glas noted, “everybody still wants to look young.” Her clientele ranges from babies getting their first haircut to some 90-year-olds who still want to look great. Glas said she also does hairstyling for a lot of teens and young adults and that styles have

In her newly redecorated shop, next to the former Sequim Police station, Glas works with friends and colleagues Kristen Eshom and Eula Cook, who are independent stylists with many years of experience. She’s been in the same location for two decades and said she has no plans to retire. “We are a friendly shop and the three of us have more than 20 years of experience each. I’ve kept prices down by taking only cash and checks,” Glas said. “People have been really friendly and I can’t thank enough the clients I’ve had — they’re wonderful people.”

Flu season is here, with vaccines now available for all ages Sequim Gazette staff

Flu vaccine has arrived and is now widely available for everyone in the family for protection throughout the season. “We’re seeing some flu cases in Washington,” says Washington state health officer Dr. Kathy Lofy said. “Getting a flu shot every year is the best way to protect yourself and your family from this very serious illness.” Data from the National Immunization Survey, released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), show that flu vaccination rates in Washington are not where they should be. Only half of Washingtonians got vaccinated during the 2014-2015 flu season. About 70 percent of children from 6 months to 4 years old got vaccinated against flu, but just 43 percent of youths 1317 years old received the flu vaccine. When fewer people get flu vaccine, flu spreads easily and quickly to vulnerable family and community members. Young children, pregnant women, people 65 years and older, and those with chronic medical conditions like diabetes, heart disease or lung disease are at high risk for complications of flu. Anyone can get flu, including healthy young people. Flu is a highly contagious and serious disease that can cause moderate to severe illness. Flu can lead to hospitalization and even be fatal. It spreads easily by coughing and sneezing and people can spread the flu before they know they are sick. Symptoms may include fever, chills, cough, sore throat, body aches, tiredness and headache.

Recommendations for vaccinations Yearly flu vaccination is recommended for everyone 6 months and older. Some babies and children between 6 months and 8 years old need two doses of the vaccine this season to be fully protected. Parents should make time to get their young children both doses for full protection. Ask your health care provider for advice about how many doses your child needs.

From page A-1 isn’t excused from the impacts associated with the surge of people entering the national health care system, but its more rural setting can instead cause more challenges. “Most of our positions require advanced education, and finding, but also retaining people with advanced education is often more difficult in rural communities,” Lewis said. The U.S. health care system is “already strained,” according to the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, yet it faced an influx of patients in 2014 after most major provisions of the Affordable Care Act were phased in, allowing “32 million Americans” access to health insurance for the first time. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, referred to as Obamacare, was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010. Shortly following, the Affordable Care Act and expansion of Medicaid eligibility was implemented in Washington in 2013 and it is among 25 other states to have expanded Medicaid coverage. Locally, Lewis estimates about 5,0006,000 more people in Clallam County have health insurance as a result of the Affordable Care Act. Additionally, as individuals born between the years 1946-1964, categorized as “baby boomers” by the U.S. Census Bureau, reach retirement age, they’re requiring more specialized medical attention, as well as retiring from the medical field themselves. In an effort to meet medical demands spurred by both the shifts in health care coverage and the aging population, OMC official are actively seeking more staff. Beyond simply meeting the area’s health care demands, Lewis said, OMC officials are continuously working to enhance and develop the services they provide. To keep up with the demand, infrastructure as well as personnel are needed. Structurally, among the most recent enhancements at OMC is a 42,000-square-foot medical office building under way at the Port Angeles campus and in Sequim, OMC officials are considering a capital campaign in 2016 to expand the cancer center. “Every building in Sequim, we’d like to make bigger,” Lewis said.

“Babies younger than 6 months can’t get the flu vaccine, so it’s important for others to get vaccinated to protect them. Flu vaccine is available everywhere and, since we’re starting to see flu cases, it’s important to get the vaccine now,” Lofy said. Washington provides all recommended vaccines at no cost for children from birth through age 18 and they’re available from health care providers across the state. Most health plans cover the cost for adults, too. Although health care providers may charge an office-visit fee and an administration fee for the vaccine, a family that can’t afford to pay can ask that the administration fee be waived. To find a health care provider or an immunization clinic, visit the online flu vaccine finder, call a local health agency, visit the ParentHelp123 resource finder or call the Family Health Hotline at 800-3222588. The Department of Health website (doh.wa.gov) is your source for a healthy dose of information. Also, find it on Facebook and follow it on Twitter.

Gastroenterologist Duane Webb moved from Vancouver, with his wife about a year and half ago to take a position at OMC. Webb has found it both exciting and challenging to work for a more rural medical center, but has taken advantage of opportunities to expand the center’s services by spearheading esophageal motility studies.

creating challenges for recruiting medical professionals to the area, but “It’s fouling up our opportunities to expand this economy,” Greenwood said. Without a growing economy it can be difficult for the spouses of professionals interested in moving to the area to find employment, Greenwood said. “This (problem) goes beyond health care,” he said. Despite the variety of challenges, OMC’s job listings get plenty of interest, but that doesn’t mean every applicant is right for the position, Lewis said. “We may get a lot of interest, but we also want to hire excellent employees,” he said. “We’re more concerned with retention — that’s always something we’re working on.” Even when OMC officials are able to fill positions with the right people, their efforts often break even with the number of professionals retiring from health care industry, Lewis explained. Programs offered at Peninsula Community College help to combat some of the staffing and health care demands at OMC, Lewis said, but many of the positions needing filled require more education than what’s available at the college. “We tell them where we need (staffing) … and they’re (Peninsula Community College) expanding,” he said, “But it takes time.” Reflecting both the nationwide and local challenges to recruit and retain, the number of available positions at OMC “is definitely a little higher,” but it’s not uncommon for the center to have around 50 positions open at any given time, as it employs 1,200 people, Lewis said. “Right now there’s way more demand than supply of trained professionals. It takes about 10-12 years to train a physician,” he said. “We’re definitely hiring, there are just some serious headwinds.”

Local challenges Deepening the widespread challenges facing health care, Clallam County has its own unique obstacles when it comes to not only recruiting people, but more importantly the right people and retaining them. “Here the challenge is finding the right people that also want to live here,” Lewis said. “Relocating is a complex decision to make, especially if they’re married or have children.” Because of the county’s rural setting there isn’t the diversity of jobs readily found in more urban areas, nor does the area offer the same amount of the amenities, nightlife, ease of transportation or selection of restaurants that a city can. However, Lewis noted the rural setting also has a lot of offer someone who’s interested in that kind of lifestyle. The lack of community support to pass a proposed $49.3 million Sequim School District construction bond earlier this month is concerning to OMC officials hoping to bring in younger, skilled medical professionals as well as to those like Bill Greenwood, Clallam County Economic Development Corporation executive director. Schools are a large part of recruiting because medical professionals “pay a lot of attention (to schools),” Lewis said. “Doctors got where they are at because they invested in education,” he said. The resistance to upgrade and expand the public school system goes beyond

To Webb, the ideal recruits for OMC are medical professionals in the midst of their career seeking change and/or new challenges. When recruiting for a gastroenterologist, Webb highlights the area’s rural lifestyle with fairly close proximity to Seattle or Victoria, the lack of traffic, mild weather and ample outdoor recreational opportunities — all reasons he and his wife were drawn to the area. Still, it’s a “competitive situation” given there are a lot of jobs out there for medical grads coming out of their fellowships, Webb said. Since working at OMC, Webb has been impressed with the way the center is flexible with the scheduling to allow for many part-time doctors not quite ready to retire to stay involved. “This helps to fill the voids, especially in primary care,” he said. OMC officials also work with surrounding resources and partners like Swedish Medical Center to continue to build the Rural Family Medicine Residency program where health care professionals do one year at Swedish and next two years on the peninsula. OMC as an affiliate of a larger health care network like Swedish was another plus to Webb when accepting his position at OMC and relocating from Vancouver. Additionally, before coming on with OMC, officials with the center committed to funding and supplying the equipment needed for Webb to pursue an interest of his and offer a specialized service — esophageal motility studies. Although Webb only has had the equipment to actively do esophageal function motility studies for about one month, he’s already referred one patient to Swedish Medical Center based on the data collected. The ability for Webb to provide his patient with specialized care locally and gather his own data saved the patient three trips and a one-night stay in Seattle, he said. “(OMC) is a great opportunity for people wanting to grow and implement new services,” Webb said. “I think there’s a huge demand here and for people that are passionate about that, then it’s exciting — that was my case.”

Gastroenterologist Duane Webb joined Olympic Medical Center about a year and a half ago — allowing OMC to have two gastroenterologists on staff. Still, Webb’s department is shorthanded and thus he’s heading the recruitment process for another gastroenterologist. The position has been open for about Reach Alana Linderoth at alinderoth@ five months and has generated “some” sequimgazette.com. Reach Michael interest, he said.

Local 4-H members and their families and friends came together to celebrate the achievements of the past year at the annual Clallam County 4-H Achievement Afternoon, held at the Home Arts Building at the Clallam County fairgrounds on Nov. 8. The theme of the event was “Best of the West” as 4-H members, volunteers and families dressed in their western boots and hats and celebrated their achievements by sharing in food, fun and line dancing. During the celebration, clubs shared slideshows of their past year. The coronation of the 2016 Clallam County Fair Junior Royalty court also was held. Youth members earned their year pins and many traditional awards. Adult volunteer leaders were recognized for their years of service — from one year to 46. A highlight of the afternoon was the 4-H Council Scholarship Drawing. Each 4-H member has the opportunity to participate in the 4-H Council scholarship program. This year, the council held a new fundraiser that took the place of the long-time tradition of “Kiss the Pig.” A drawing was held for a whole pork raised by Clallam County 4-H member Colby Beckstrom, with an additional prize of a cord of wood. A number of community members and businesses supported this fundraiser, including Baskins Farm, the Beckstrom family, F-5 Slaughter, Sunrise Meats, Airport Garden Center and Neon Riders 4-H Club. The 2014-2015 scholarship recipients were Colby Beckstrom (Port Angeles),

Mackenzie Weston (Forks) and Alexandria Henderson (Forks). Funds raised will support these and future scholarships for graduating 4-H members. WSU Extension’s 4-H Youth Development program serves Clallam County youth through volunteer-led community clubs and healthy living programs. Many clubs still are accepting new members for the 2015-2016 year. To join 4-H or learn about starting a club in your neighborhood, contact 4-H program coordinator Jenny Schmidt at jenny. schmidt@wsu.edu or 417-2398 or find the group on Facebook by searching for “Clallam County 4-H.”

A microcosm of environmental change, in focus Hundreds of journalists, including myself, with an interest in science and the environment recently gathered in Norman, Okla. I’d never been to Oklahoma, nor can I say it was on my bucket list of places to visit, but that changed when the opportunity to attend the Society of Environmental Journalists 25th annual conference arose. The conference centered on water, weather and energy — all topics that no matter where you live are likely relevant. Oklahoma proved a fascinating stage for the conference with its sustained drought, Reporter’s long-term water supply Notebook needs, severe weather, increasing earthquakes Alana Linderoth related to the ongoing drilling and fracking, mining, frequent tornados that seemingly create resilient communities and sprawling prairies. I furiously wrote, typed and recorded countless lectures and panel discussions hoping to improve my abilities to interpret data and scientific studies, to gain skills to better follow the money, as well as deepen my understanding of human behavior in response to a changing planet, politics and reporting. Taking a global look at people’s relationships to water, weather and energy and scaling those down to be reflective of the area and community I report on became my goal throughout the five-day conference. Norman, Okla., is 2,708 miles from Sequim, but the environmental challenges felt by the communities there aren’t too different from those in Sequim. Most notably water use is in the forefront for both Sequim and Norman city planners and residents. Similar to the reclaimed water facility established in Sequim, city officials from Chickasha, Okla., recently collaborated with those at the University of Oklahoma’s South Central Agricultural Experiment Station to pipe reclaimed water from Chickasha to the research station for irrigation. The research station has long struggled with sourcing water because the salinity of the surrounding aquifer is naturally too high for use on crops.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The ‘Big One?’

Many people in Northwest Washington worry about a future devastating earthquake (E-Q) happening. In the Seattle area, there are many high-rise buildings and multi-laned highways with high densities of people, where a powerful E-Q could cause high loss of life and devastation. In smaller municipalities, high density populations occur largely at schools, five days a week, about nine months a year. One might ask — how old are most school buildings, what were their design and construction criteria when they were built, and whether seismic (E-Q) resistance was even considered? My message is this: If school districts float school bond levies to renovate existing or build new facilities, consideration should be for seismic resistance rather than for just “beautification” or just adding more classroom space. I am not aware this was considered in any of the recently failed Sequim school bond levies. For adding seismic resistance to existing facilities, this was done on selected facilities at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory after the Santa Cruz Mountains E-Q in 1989. If the “Big One” ever occurs in our area, many children’s lives might be saved with this building reinforcement foresight. Richard Hahn Sequim

Too much outside influence on peninsula (To) those who never experienced the brutality of war, either run for President of the United States or write anti-military comments to the news media, the noise of Navy Growlers do not disturb me half as much as the two telephone calls I received in the last decade when my son was seriously wounded in far away battles with our military elite. Many here on this peninsula have had just about enough with folks that come from California and can instantly tell that a plane is a 3,000 feet (what talent) or NZ — or who knows where, and immediately set about to change our life to their anticipated noise-, aerosol- and EMF-free lifestyle. Life in the arctic of Canada or Siberia is always available for life without a human imprint. Spending three months in Europe this year, I also shudder when refugee immigrants instantly declare that food should be pork-free, alcohol-free and religious garments must be provided along with benefits that locals obtain after many years of hard labor. For me, returning at the border an illegal immigrant should be mandatory. Honest hardworking illegal immigrants who voluntary returning to their homeland should be granted and considered for accelerated return to the U.S. and a “green card.” A baby born in the U.S. should only get citizenship if the parents are American citizens or at a time when legal im-

migrants become U.S. citizens. To remain a welfare state, vote for Jeb or Hillary. They know how to make big money without working for it! God bless America and not those who may end up destroying it. Daniel Gellert Sequim

SARC view, refined Due to inaccurate and misleading statements written by current 30-year member of the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center (SARC) board Melinda Griffith (Letters to the editor, Sequim Gazette, Nov. 11 “Perspective about the history, role of SARC”), I feel compelled to correct her corrections of statements I made at the open board meeting on Oct. 28, a meeting she failed to attend. At the aforementioned meeting I cited but two of several documented statements made by the then board chair and other members during the early stages of the SARC formation. One of these was printed in the Sequim Press, Aug. 22, 1984, “Board expects new pool center to become quickly self-supporting” as follows: “Arlene Swinford, chair of the Clallam County Park and Recreation District No. 1, released information that shows that it is possible that the new Sequim Pool Center may become self-supporting sooner than expected and might not even require operating levy support in its first or second full year of operation.” She later states: “We have gone over our figures several times. We believe we

have been quite realistic, possibly a little conservative, in developing our income estimates. We don’t want to lead anyone astray … but we honestly believe that no levy will be required at all after the second or third year of operation.” These statements were made in an attempt to persuade the local property owners to approve the $2,436,000 bond for building the facility. Additionally, there would be an accompanying maintenance and operations levy. Note: The bond passed but the M&O levy failed significantly. In other words, the facility had no money to operate. Brilliant planning! Three years later the issue was still at hand when another board member, Annette Kuss, was quoted as saying, “The Board believes the facility will be self-supporting within three to four years. The five-year levy will provide a ‘guaranty’ until then.” (“Park board floats Sequim pool levy,” Peninsula Daily News, Sept. 30, 1987). The documented evidence clearly demonstrates that the media and the public understood that the SARC board early on was anticipating and promising that SARC would be “financially self-supporting.” Ms. Griffith now recalls, in typical Orwellian fashion, that the board only promised “to come as close to self-supporting as possible.” This statement belies the facts as stated in

fell asleep at the wheel. According to the AAA Foundation, drowsy drivers are involved in an estimated 21 percent of all fatal crashes, up from 4.5 percent from 2010. Nationwide, drowsy drivers have caused 1,550 deaths, 71,000 injuries and more than 100,000 accidents each year. A reasonable person never would drive a car when drunk. But many people will drive when they are too tired. There is no difference between being drunk or tired when you are behind the wheel. A study by researchers in Australia showed that being awake for 18 hours produced an impairment equal to a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.05 and 0.10 after 24 hours; 0.08 is considered legally drunk in Washington.

A personal perspective We tend to ignore statistics of drowsy driving injuries and deaths. We think, “That will never happen to me.” Sadly, my daughter Mora Shaw was one of those drowsy driving stats. She and my family know firsthand the pain and suffering caused by a driver who fell asleep at

Reporter’s Notebook

• “Sequim is ranked the fifth worst place in Washington to get a job says this analysis. Port Townsend is ranked the worst while Port Angeles is sixth.” (Nov. 5) This blows my mind! I am almost always hiring! We expand like crazy and my problem is finding someone with work ethics! — Kaya Maraya Silkiss-Hero People need to change their way of thinking as well. It’s not about bringing in BIG corporate business. Although that is nice for the tax base but independently owned & operated businesses where the owners can make decisions based on the needs of their market and consumer. Reducing penalizing federal and state taxes to these small businesses and they would be able to hire more staff and expand according to the need/demand of their services and products. — Theresa Rubens Sequim and the other towns mentioned are wonderful places. I do not want the hype or zip of other cities. — Kay Miller Seems like if the schools were better supported, it would attract industry. — Jodi Minker It’s tough, but it’s still one of the most beautiful places in America. — Camy Saavedra

Although farmers in the SequimDungeness Valley don’t combat high salinity, water management and conservation is seemingly becoming a greater priority. The importance of wise water management was highlighted this past summer when the Dungeness River, which serves as the primary irrigation source and provides habitat for an abundance of life, dropped to historically low flows.

From page A-10 the newspapers during the mid-1980s. She attributes this to “many hearing it wrong” despite the board’s efforts “to dispel this lingering perception.” I doubt that the public can recall any such efforts. As a Sequim area professional economist has stated, this is a classic example of revisionist history. There is usually a motive for such revisionism. In this case it is clear in Ms. Griffith’s final paragraph in which the she states that, “For some reason, the voting public and the City decided SARC was not worth having or saving.” I suggest that Ms. Griffith refresh her memory and do as I did; namely, read all the published articles about SARC and its trials and tribulations from 19841988. The verbiage and comments are remarkably similar to those seen and heard during this past year. The board makes conspicuous attempts to ab-

Unlike Washington and Sequim that rely heavily on irrigation however, most of Oklahoma is dryland farming and thus farmers there look to rainfall, drought-resistant crops and moisture conservation for success. The scale of the farms in Oklahoma tend to be much larger and therefore don’t require as concentrated, highyielding crops to be economically viable like those locally given the relatively small plots of land. Balancing water use as a shared resource became a theme throughout the conference, along with topics centered on climate change and community adaptation. These discussions tended to encompass a more global perspective and the projected direction of the planet couldn’t help but often leave me with more questions than answers. The likely increase in extreme weather events worldwide, threats to biodiversity, ocean acidification, sea-level rise and the challenge of balancing limited natural resources are all issues hazy on the horizon of the human race — but, to me, where and how community journalists begin to cover these types of phenomenons isn’t always clear. During the conference the question of how do I positively contribute to my community continued to chime through my thoughts. I came to the conclusion that it probably depends on the individual reporter and the root of why they were interested

solve itself of any responsibility by placing the entire blame on its victims, that is, the public and the City. The board is somewhat cavalier with the truth. In this case it was either dishonest or it was incompetent in not knowing the truth. The “truth” and the financial facts have been before them for the last eight years and obvious to anyone who has even a modicum of math and management skills. Either way, the board has brought SARC to the brink of ruin. It now stands as a negative influence on SARC’s recovery process and certainly its reputation. I strongly suggest now as I did at the aforementioned open meeting, it is time for the SARC Board to do the right thing and resign their positions as commissioners en masse. There are ways out of this morass, but those can be delineated at another time. Bill Black Sequim (Black is a former SARC board member.)

the wheel of a car after being awake for more than 20 hours. Nine years ago, Mora, then a 17-year-old Issaquah High graduate, was nearly killed as a result of a driver who fell asleep at the wheel while driving over Blewett Pass. Suffering serious multiple fractures and a two-week coma, Mora barely survived. She spent years in recovery. Like drunk driving prevention 30 years ago, the only thing that will change mindsets and habits about drivers getting behind the wheel of a car when they have not slept for 20 plus hours is swift and sure penalties. Every Washington driver, every legislator and every judge needs to understand the widespread seriousness of drowsy driving. Their attitudes and our laws about it need to change. Drowsy driving kills, injures and shatters lives just the same as drunk drivers do. Ask the family and friends of those lost or injured this year. Just ask my daughter. Just ask me. Gov. Jay Inslee has proclaimed Nov. 18 as Washington’s Drowsy Driving Prevention Week. During

SARC dries up Sequim Gazette staff

With a temporary suspension of services, the swimming pool at the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center was drained Nov. 13. Clallam County Fire District 3 officials used a 5-inch hose and water tender to pump out about 120,000 gallons of water, leaving behind enough water to maintain the hydrostatic pressure and thus avoid damages. The water from the pool was sprayed onto a neighboring field. The fire department turned the opportunity to help SARC officials temporarily close and winterize the center into a drill, Lt. Jeff Albers said. The doors to SARC locked on Oct. 30 because of a lack of funds, but with community donations the swimming pool Above, about 60,000 gallons of water remain in the main pool at SARC to maintain the hydrostatic pressure so the pool remained semi-operational for the Sequim High School girls doesn’t crack or become damaged.

From page A-1 William Blank Blank, 81, a third-generation Sequim native, said he’s “been quite a few places but I couldn’t find a better place” than Sequim. He first lived halfway between where Sequim Bay State Park and John Wayne Marina are now before his parents, Ralph and Pearl, moved to Blyn. Blank worked for the Milwaukee Railroad before it went “belly up,” he said, so he went on to work for Seattle Northcoast and eventually helped his brother build houses and Chet Miller build docks on Sequim Bay. He and his wife Rena lived and worked in the Port Angeles area for 36 years before returning to where he used to live. They have three children, seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Blank said he used to build model boats and regularsized boats, he played tennis and does a lot of crosswords and word searches.

Mayme Faulk Faulk, 85, a fourth-generation Sequim native, said her family living in Sequim dates back to her great-grandparents. She has the declaration to be a second-generation

Grand Pioneer during the festival following her mother Dorothy (Messenger) Hendrickson, who held the title in 1986. Faulk lived in the Zaccardo House in Blyn from age 6-20 and again from 1955-2005 and raised seven children there. Faulk now ha s nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. For work, Faulk spent almost 20 years at Southwoods as a clerk and later its bookkeeper before the store closed. She went on to work in accounting for 10 years and worked another five years only during tax season. Faulk said she has a lot of family here and after some travels preferred it in Sequim most. In her time now, she enjoys sewing, knitting, reading, gardening and spending time outside.

Sounds of the

Season Sequim newcomer Jennifer Thomas releases her new Christmas album, ‘Winter Symphony’

by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Before creating her fourth album, Jennifer Thomas knew she wanted to create something timeless, especially when it came to a Christmas album. So with a cup of cocoa nearby and Christmas ornaments on her piano, the Sequim musician worked for a year on reimagining some classics and creating holiday originals for “Winter Symphony,” which releases on Friday, Nov. 20. The new album is a departure for Thomas, a pianist and violinist, who mostly creates original tunes and albums. “Christmas music is the kind of music you have to put your whole heart into because it’s a big commitment,” she said. “It’s hard because once you start, you have to do it all year-round.” Thomas was so committed she drank cocoa year-round and put the ornaments out to set the mood for composing. “It’s not easy drinking hot cocoa when it was 95 degrees outside,” she said. “Winter Symphony” features 12 tracks from “Angels We Have Heard on High” to “O Holy Night” to originals “Alleluia” and “Winter Symphony.” Thomas, a self-proclaimed film score buff, included the theme from “Home Alone” — “Somewhere in My Memory” and “The Ice Dance” from “Edward Scissorhands” because she finds them “epic.” For her previous albums, Thomas said she normally orchestrates them herself but brought in

Yet again the Peninsula Singers tackle some of the world’s most challenging music for its fall concert. Music director and conductor Dewey Ehling said he chose selected choruses and arias from several of the richest repertoire and the products of some of classical music’s greatest composers. The group’s latest show “Opera Choruses and an Aria or Two: Spaghetti: Mascagni, Verdi, and Gilbert and Sullivan (“The Gondoliers”) and Sauerkraut: Handel, Wagner” runs for two shows at

Apply for local Master Gardener program now Applications now being accepted for the Master Gardener Program — attend an informational session to learn more. Are you a lifelong learner who enjoys gardening? Want to experience the power of sharing sustainable gardening knowledge with your community? Then the Master Gardener program may be just the thing for you! Come to an informational session to learn more about the program and how you can become part of this great organization. Two informational sessions will be held at 11 a.m. Nov. 16 at the Port Angeles Library and at 1 p.m. Dec. 10 at the Sequim Library. Hear more about the Master Gardener Program through a short presentation followed by a question and answer session. Applications for the program also will be available at this time. The WSU Clallam County Master Gardener program invests in creating leaders to serve the needs of their community. Master Gardeners become ambassadors to assist the WSU Clallam County Extension Service in providing accurate and environmentally sustainable horticultural advice and tools to support a healthy community. To become a Master Gardener, students attend a 10-week training session that includes Washington State University research-based courses in botany, soil science, pruning, growing ornamentals and vegetables, fruit and berries and other elements of sustainable home horticulture. Online training, field trips, labs and classroom participation are all part of the student experience. After the completion of classes, Master Gardener interns complete 100 hours of approved volunteer service through the county Extension office to earn a Master Gardener Certification. Volunteer service hours include participating in garden-related education activities, diagnosing plant problems, working in demonstration gardens and serving on Master Gardener committees and projects. The class fee is $250 and includes reference and learning materials and other supplies. For more information, contact Lorrie Hamilton at lhamilton@co.clallam.wa.us or by calling 565-2679.

Pirates stop Spokane for NWAC title Championship is fourth in six seasons, first under new head coach Rodriguez

Ponce named MVP, Martinez Most Inspirational Sequim Gazette staff

The Pirates are once again NWAC champions. By winning a 4-3 thriller against Spokane on Sunday, Peninsula College’s men’s soccer squad earned its fourth conference championship in six years. And they did it with a new coach, Cale Rodriguez, at the helm. It didn’t come easy in the Nov. 14 championship game, as Jonathan Cortez — the NWAC leader in scoring — put Spokane up RODRIGUEZ 1-0 in the first minute of the match. But just 2 minutes later, Peninsula answered with a header from Keo Ponce, who would go on to be named the tourney’s Most Valuable Player. The Pirates (16-3-3) looked to take

control of the match from there, getting a goal from Santi Sierra (set up by Ponce) at 31 minutes and gaining a 3-1 lead early in the second half when Eddie Benito found Ponce for his second goal of the match. But the Sasquatch — East Division champions who racked up a 13-5-4 mark overall PONCE — would not go away easily. Kazuki Tateishi scored from just beyond the box with a strike in the 55th minute that closed the gap to 3-2. In the 76th minute, Spokane’s Eric Sanchez-Flores chipped in a shot over PC goalkeeper Nick Johnson’s head, and in a diving attempt to stop the goal, a Peninsula defender inadvertently placed the ball in his own Peninsula teammates celebrate with C.J. Harvey after the freshman forward

Highline edges Peninsula in semis Pirates fall short of final match for first time in five seasons

Sequim Gazette staff

5B1465367

Looking for their third NWAC title in four seasons, these Pirates couldn’t get past a familiar foe in the semifinals. Peninsula dropped a 2-1 nail-biter to Highline on Nov. 14, ending a spectacular season with just their second loss in 22 matches. The Pirates, so used to sailing into familiar territory, found themselves out of the NWAC final for the first time since 2010, their inaugural campaign. Peninsula looked like a good bet to qualify for their fifth-consecutive final after edging North Idaho College in the quarterfinals, but they ran into a Highline team with one of the better defenses in the conference. Playing on a wet and windy pitch at Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila, PC and Highline — former familiar foes in the West Division before Peninsula moved to the North this season — battled to a scoreless tie for a half. Then, in the span of just four minutes, Highline tallied their two goals. Analise Miller-Wells scored in the 54th minute and just two minutes later Dulce Armas

Sequim High School’s volleyball team saw their season end short of their goal at the state 2A tournament, held Nov. 13-14 at St. Martin’s University in Lacey. On Nov. 13, the Wolves fell in three sets to Ellensburg (25-7, 25-17, 25-19) to fall to the consolation round. Later the same night, Sequim dropped a three-set match to Anacortes (25-16, 25-23, 25-15). Ellensburg went on to finish second to state champion Burlington-Edison while Anacortes placed eighth. The West Central District put six teams in the state tourney but each team failed to place at the 16-team tournament, amassing a 2-12 overall record.

Linnane improves mark in state 2A backstroke Coach and team look to future dependent on SARC availability Sequim Gazette staff

One year later and one Sequim swimmer is one place and more than one second better at state. Sydnee Linnane, a sophomore, returned to compete at the 2A st ate swimming championships on Nov. 14 and took 18th in the 100 yard LINNANE backstroke at 1:08.02. She took a quarter-of-a-second off her best time of the season at the meet in the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. Last year, she placed 19th at state with 1:09.59, and this year she was less than 2 seconds from qualifying for the finals. First place went to Taylor McCoy of Pullman at 56.45 seconds. Head coach Anita Benitez said Linnane swam great and they saw some amazing swims over the meet. Linnane was the lone Sequim swimmer at the state meet while Port Angeles’ squad took sixth overall with 148 points. She qualified for state at the districts meet at Hazen High School a week prior and competed with seven other Sequim girls in different events. One big question for swimmers next season is whether they’ll compete and practice in Sequim or Port Angeles depending on what happens with SARC’s pool. Following the facility’s closure on Oct. 30, the SARC

New map spots dog-friendly recreation sites on peninsula Sequim Gazette staff

The Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau has aggregated information about dog-friendly places on the Olympic Peninsula to help visitors with furry friends find the best spots for outdoor fun. Stefanie Rotmark, the bureau’s social media manager, worked with many area agencies and a local designer to gather the data and create a map indicating places and trails where pets are welcome. A webpage dedicated for furry fun has been added the Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission site (OlympicPeninsula.org/dog-friendly). “Over the past year we’ve had numerous inquiries in all seasons about traveling with dogs: ‘Where can we hike? Can dogs be in the national park? Are they allowed on the beach? Where can I camp with my dog?’” Rotmark said. “We had written blog and posted information on our Facebook page, but the message didn’t seem to be getting to the right people. So, I decided to help travelers by creating a map and finding all the places where dogs are welcome.” The map can be found at http:// tinyurl.com/OPDogMap.

While most places in Olympic National Park do prohibit dogs, there are thousands of acres to explore with dogs. Several places, including Kalaloch beaches between the Hoh and Quinault reservations, the Moments in Time Trail and Spruce Railroad Trails at Lake Crescent, and Rialto Beach to Ellen Creek are some of the places

SCHOOLS CALENDAR

Lights go out and on

Last Friday didn’t start out very well. The lights were out when it was time to get up and get the children ready for school. The alarm clock didn’t ring. We didn’t know if there would be school or not. There wasn’t enough hot water to take showers. Our phones didn’t work right and nothing rang when we called. Obviously, we couldn’t see what was happening on our television that didn’t work. We couldn’t even toast our toast. It was a tough and an amazing time. The reasons it was tough are clear. The amazing part is paying attention to the things we take for granted. Not many of us appreciate the power lines that we wish weren’t there. We get angry when the phone doesn’t operate correctly and ignore all the wonderful changes that have come about in recent years on our phones. It takes something like a power outage to get us to appreciate what we use all the time and assume should be working. This happens in life, too. It takes events such as what has happened in Paris to appreciate that it hasn’t happened here yet. It takes watching the weather back east to be pleased with our weather here. It takes fires to our east to appreciate our lack of fires here.

Stop and consider ... Maybe what we all need to do is learn to appreciate what we have even when we have it. Maybe we all need to pay attention to our happiness more. How good is your marriage? What makes your partner special? What do your children do that makes you happy? Do you appreciate how your yard looks? Have you noticed how beautifully green the lawns all over town are getting? Do you look forward to the mail delivery that comes almost every day? Have you noticed the birds we are lucky to have around to entertain us? Do you appreciate the taste of the water you drink and pay attention to areas in the world that are not that fortunate? We have many things to be thankful for as Thanksgiving Day nears. We all need to take it seriously and teach our children to appreciate the many

things and opportunities they have. Yes, they can be very excited to get the toy they wanted or the phone they were hoping for but it goes a lot deeper than that. What about the lessons all around us? These are lessons that are as important to teach a child every day as much as other lessons we know they should learn. They also are lessons that many of us ignore and fail to teach. We can change that. Let’s do it. Talk with your child or children and see what they are thankful for. Do they mention people like grandparents or parents or brothers or sisters? Help your child really give some thought to what they have that others don’t have. It isn’t just money or things. It’s love, relationships, opportunities. Sometimes the more we have the less we appreciate. That goes for things and for lights. Maybe we learn lessons of appreciation because the lights don’t go on. Cynthia Martin is the founder of the First Teacher program and director of Parenting Matters Foundation, which publishes newsletters for parents, caregivers and grandparents.

For December, Thomas plans to perform six shows — two in Salt Lake City on Dec. 4-5, two in Atascocita, Texas, on Dec. 13 and two on Dec. 14-15 at Benaroya Hall in Seattle with the Ensign Symphony — that incorporate some music from her new album. In October, she performed at Carnegie Hall Weill Recital Hall in New York City as a nominee for her album “Illumination” in the 2015 Enlightened Piano Radio Awards. She won “Orchestra Album of the Year” and that same day “Classical Song of the Year” from the International Music and Entertainment Association.

However, with her husband working long hours for Microsoft, they weren’t sure a move was possible until her music career provided enough stability to focus on music full-time.

I don’t need a Sequim can work for an artist, she shopping mall.” Sequim actually has been on says, because she and collaborators her and husband Will’s minds after can send tracks via e-mail. “Artists don’t really need record visiting 10 yeara ago. “We went camping and explored labels like they did 20 years ago everything from Crescent Lake to because of the Internet,” she said. “When I first started out, I didn’t Cape Flattery,” Thomas said. “We had the best time. We discovered know how the whole thing worked Sequim because it was our grocery but the more I got into it, I realized stop and we just kept coming back I’d rather be independent and keep all the rights to my music.” here every summer.”

Prior to making “Winter Symphony,” Thomas said she took a year off from music after giving birth to her third son. She said there was a phase where she tried to keep family and her career separate but after the new baby, Thomas changed her mind. “I thought hard about it that my mission with my music is to empower women to see that you can go for your dreams and have a family. You don’t have to do either or,” she said. Thomas said she’s gotten a positive response from people on her blog after making the decision and she continues to release videos and write about parenting and managing her career. Thomas’ new album also ties into her family’s love of Christmas celebrating both the birth of Jesus and the commercial side, she said. “(The boys) are into it,” Thomas said. “They start giving us Santa Claus wish lists in the middle of the summer.”

All four of her albums — “Key of Sea,” “The Lullaby Album” and “Illumination” — are independent releases and she’s gained tens of thousands of listeners/fans online mostly through Pandora Radio, she said. Since training classically at Brigham Young University – Idaho, Thomas said she’s definitely discov-

ered her own voice going from the classical world to something more cinematic. “I like emotional music and music that makes you feel something inside,” she said. “I try to dial up the epic.” YouTube is a big platform for Thomas with two new music videos from “Winter Symphony” slated to

Following the holidays, Thomas plans to score a short film in February before working on scheduling live concerts and creating more music videos. “Being a mom, I like to perform live but I don’t want to be out touring all the time,” she said. “Music videos are another way for me to perform for the world.” Her next album, she said, will be more “along the lines of total cinematic feeling with a pop feel.” For now, she encourages preorders of the “Winter Symphony” at www.jenniferthomasmusic.com.
