School board votes for Feb. 2016 bond proposal Construction costs push plan to $54M by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

For the fourth time since early 2014, Sequim School District’s board of directors is asking area voters to approve a school construction bond. In a 5-0 unanimous vote Monday night, directors agreed to put a

bond proposal on a special election ballot on Feb. 9, 2016. The bond would pay for several projects school advocates say are needed, including the building of a new elementary school and added classrooms at Greywolf Elementary School and Sequim High School. “These are the most critical needs,” board director Jim Stoffer said. Cost of this bond is $54 million, up about $5 million from a pro-

Historical Sequim farm is earmarked for conservation Land Trust awarded $344K toward project

posal that failed by less than half a percent — or a little more than 50 votes — in November. The increase is a result of rising construction costs, according to Brian Lewis, executive director of business services for the Sequim School District.

Game Farm employees talk Hollywood ties by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

The lore is strong with this tale. It’s been buzzing for many years and it sounds to some that a few of Sequim’s creatures went on a journey not so long ago to a galaxy far, far away. Former and current employees of the Olympic Game Farm say several animals’ sounds were recorded in Sequim and used in “Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back” and possibly later films, games and merchandise in the franchise. As ticket presales continue to mount and the world anticipates the release of the next film in the franchise — “Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens” — some believe one Sequim creature may have played a role in saving the lives of some iconic heroes. Barbara McInnes Edmondson, a 1979 Sequim High grad, was a tour guide at the time on the farm. She was a sophomore with curly hair and wearing overalls in the summer of 1977 when “Star Wars: Episode 4: A New Hope” was a big hit.

Sequim Mayor Candace Pratt welcomed a cheerful crowd at the first holiday tree lighting reception in the Civic Center on Dec. 4. The tree reflected this year’s theme of “Nature’s Creatures” with ornaments made by 101 local fourth-grade students. In sequential years city officials will continue to invite Sequim students to make the ornaments based on an annual theme. The inaugural tree lighting concluded with holiday classics, such as “Jingle Bells” and “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” performed by the Sunshine Generation.

The United Way of Clallam County’s 73rd annual fund drive has reached nearly one quarter of its $950,000 goal. As of Nov. 24, campaign proceeds totaled $222,300 — about the same total as this time last year. Campaign co-chairman Paul McHugh of Sequim noted some areas, especially in Sequim, have reported significant increases over last year. Sequim Realtors under the leadership of Nell Clausen increased their giving by $2,000. And the Sequim School district employees, chaired by Patsene Dashiell, increased their giving by $1,000 for a total of $20,745. Donations by employees of businesses throughout the county total $36,600 plus another $35,000 has been given as business donations. McHugh and his co-chairman Norm Schaaf agree that the campaign is on track given the late start. Both men attribute this to the extra outreach of the United Way board members and campaign volunteers and the support of the businesses, employees and individuals of Clallam County. The fund drive runs through the end of the year but total results won’t be known until January or February. “Many statewide and national firms don’t report their results to each county until every location has reported to their headquarters. And many retirees and professionals make their gifts at the end of the year,” noted McHugh. Proceeds from this year’s campaign will be distributed among the 24 partner agencies beginning in April 2016. For more information, contact United Way of Clallam County at 457-3011 or info@unitedwayclallam.org.

Farm

From page A-1 Although much of the farmland in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley is vulnerable to many uses, the Land Trust and property owners of one the valley’s oldest farms are collaborating to ensure the “Historic” Ward Farm always will remain available for agriculture. “This is a historic farm that deserves to be recognized,” Tim Wheeler, farm co-owner, said. “It’s a magnificent piece of land that should be farmland forever.”

SEQ

‘P

Through the ages Wheeler’s father, Don, purchased the farm in 1957 to expand the family dairy and increase grain production. The Wheelers became the farm’s second and last owner. At the peak of the Wheelers’ dairy operation, they were producing about 300 gallons of milk per day, Wheeler said. Prior to the Wheelers buying the farm, it was developed and farmed by William Ward. At 12 years old, Ward left England as a cabin boy on a ship, according to “Sequim: Pioneer Family Histories from 1850-World War II.” By the time the ship had reached Port Townsend, Ward jumped ship in 1855. He made his way to the Sequim-Dungeness Valley where he homesteaded and began farming what would become the Ward Farm at the corner of Woodcock and Ward roads in 1858. The farm is smaller than its original size of more than 100 acres, but the heart of Ward Farm has remained in agriculture since the mid-1800s. “We are committed to preserving farmland to maintain the cultural heritage of the Sequim-Dungeness Valley and as such we are excited to announce our latest effort to secure the funds needed to conserve the Historic Ward Farm north of Sequim,” Sanford said. Having incorporated Friends of the Fields, within its 25 years the Land Trust has conserved 3,200 acres countywide. The thousands of successfully conserved acres support the organization’s long-term goal of conserving lands that sustain the ecological and economic vitality of the communities of Clallam County. Of those acres, about 460 are working farmland. To kickstart the Land Trust official’s work on the Ward Farm, the organization was awarded $344,000 during the last state legislative session toward the permanent conservation of the “historic”

farm, Sanford said. “While we have a number of farmland projects in the pipeline, this pledge was just the investment needed to focus our efforts and get the ball rolling,” he said. “Building on the momentum provided by the state, in the coming year we will reach out to additional donors and secure available grants to ultimately conserve this property and keep local farmland available.”

The Nash’s connection For nearly 11 years the Wheeler family has leased the Ward Farm to Nash Huber, owner of Nash’s Organic Produce. The 60-acre field is one many local fields that together equate to more than 400 acres managed under Nash’s Organic Produce and kept in agriculture. Because the Ward Farm provides one of two fields that has a well on it, Nash’s officials relied heavily on it throughout the summer given the drought and the looming possibility of no water for irrigation. “We used it (the field) extensively this year,” Patty McManus-Huber, co-owner of

The Clallam County Health and Human Services’ Environmental Health Section is reminding the public to avoid marine water contact in urban and developed embayments such as Port Angeles Harbor and Clallam Bay during and following heavy rain events. Release of untreated sewage and stormwater may occur during intense rain events when there is stormwater and when combined sewer and stormwater flows exceed sewer system capacities, county health officials said.

tinues to shift, its importance has grown. “We have several properties in the (Dungeness River) delta but this is one of the more important ones because it has a water right and that water is essential,” he said. The “unique climatic zone, rainfall, irrigation system and sunshine” found within the Sequim-Dungeness Valley are all “key” in allowing for year-round vegetable production Huber said. “You have to go about 2,000 miles south of here before you can get winter crops like we can get here,” he said. “It’s important we keep this farmland around.” Huber is inspired to see some young farmers continuing to pursue agriculture locally, as well as the efforts like those by North Olympic Land Trust. “Tom’s (Sanford) leadership at the Land Trust is so key,” he said. “It’s been a long time coming to try to save this place (Ward Farm).”

Nash’s Organic Produce said. “The field was used as a turf farm for years and has some issues but not insurmountable obviously because it supplied most of our vegetables this year.” Using cover crops and composting techniques, Nash’s officials have been able to steadily regain the rich fertility of the farm’s soil once hindered by sod and turf production. During the winter, the Ward Farm supports many of the winter crops grown by Nash’s, such as carrots, kale, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and leeks. Additionally, Huber utilizes the field to grow about a dozen varieties of kale seed, including a couple varieties he has bred throughout the past 15 years. “This is where the rubber hits the road,” Huber said while walking through the Ward Farm. “This is where you get to see the varying colors, level of disease resistance … just all the differences.” Within the past 10 years the Ward Farm has been integrated into Huber’s production cycle, he said, but as the climate con-

Within 15 minutes of its grand opening on Friday, Dec. 4, Olympic Lavender Co. in downtown Sequim had its first customer and a small world experience. A visitor from Scottsdale, Ariz., exclaimed to owners Marco and Christa Hermosillo, that her very first encounter with a lavender farm had been been at theirs — Olympic Lavender Heritage Farm — during a recent Lavender Festival. “We’d been dreaming about opening a store for a while and since downtown shop opportunities don’t come up very often, we jumped on it,” said Christa. “We envisioned exactly what it turned out to be,” she said gesturing to the airy and artfully decorated shop in multiple tints and tones of purple, accented with white. “We wanted it to be a complement for our modern boutique design and to bring the unique feeling of our farm to the city,” Marco explained. “It’s a pleasant atmosphere for all the senses.” The couple obt a ined USDA- cer t if ic at ion for growing, processing, distilling essential oil and making all its own lavender products, a host of which are stocked in open-faced cabinets, on two massive t ables painted in deep lavender and an innovative “mountain of tables” display.

One of the main reasons we got the farm was for agri-tourism — this shop is just an extension of the farm.” Marco added, “We fell in love with the whole idea of growing lavender and raising our kids in a Sequim farm business.” From planting to packaging, Marco quipped, “You could say the business is from farm to body.”

County to handle city’s misdemeanor, traffic cases

Sequim continues research on own municipal court

For

Sequim Gazette staff

Misdemeanors committed within the Sequim city limits won’t be dealt with by city officials in the courts anymore, but instead will be handled at the county level starting in 2016. The City of Sequim and Clallam County commissioners agreed to an interlocal agreement — the city in a 6-1 vote on Nov. 9 and the commissioners unanimously on Nov. 24 — covering criminal justice services for “city misdemeanants.” That includes all adults who commit misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor offenses and traffic infractions in the City of Sequim and are booked into jail and/or are referred for prosecution by Sequim police officials beginning Jan. 1. The “overall goal” of the agreement is to better the criminal

justice services provided and up taxpayer savings, County Administrator Jim Jones wrote in an executive summary of the agreement. However, Jones also anticipates four “significant outcomes” to become achievJONES able because of the agreement, including the reduction of governmental duplication, to provide cost containment and budget predictability, to provide prosecutorial and judicial continuity and increase operational efficiencies in District Court I and the jail. “This is really a milestone when you can do things in a way that saves the public some money, deliver the same kind of service, do it more efficiently and require less in the way of resources,” Jim McEntire, Clallam County commissioner, said. Next year, the deal tentatively would save the city six figures at more than $120,000. Jones estimated the City of Sequim would spend about

$440,426 to cover its criminal justice costs in 2016. Under the agreement, the city pays an annual $320,000 flat fee that includes provisions for annual increases or decreases based on the rate of the Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). The agreement is set for 10 years and has been in discussion for several years, city and county officials said, and follows long brewing talks of the City of Sequim reestablishing its own municipal court. Cit y Attor ney Craig Ritchie said RITCHIE the city creating its own court remains an option as the agreement allows for it to exit at any point if there were just cause. Those hypothetical reasons, Ritchie said, may include findings that reveal that the city creating its own municipal court is cheaper and/or the city loses a series of cases. Discussing the interlocal agreement, Ritchie said it’s logical and

an attorney and staff member to cover its cases and administrative duties. A few years ago, the city invested in a study on the costs of forming its own municipal court but didn’t act on its findings. Ritchie said the city likely needs to update its study because technology may make changes to its findings. “My guess is that there will be no differences in the study,” he said. “The costs would be about the same as not doing it (the city’s own court). It costs what it costs.” Shea spoke to city councilors on Nov. 9 at their meeting saying discussions for creating a city municipal court started about eight years ago but didn’t go anywhere because the city didn’t have the facility for proceedings but now it does. He suggested continuing to look at the option for the future because the East End of Clallam County continues to grow. Alana Linderoth and Matthew Nash contributed to this report.

That may be a trend,” he said. “If that trend continues, we’ll be able to reap some benefits.” By partnering, Ritchie said they are trying to do something new that probably will save the city money in the long term. However, city councilors seemed interested in continuing to pursue options to form the city’s own municipal court. Councilor Ted Miller said the option should be a near and longterm solution. “There’s a good chance something doesn’t work out,” he said. “We need to be ready to incorporate our own municipal court at a moment’s notice or at least a few months out.” Currently, the city has contracted with private attorney Chris Shea to prosecute its cases and with Clallam County Public Defenders’ Office for its defense services. Ritchie said the county will hire

Have the following information on hand: • Name and address of the affected property • A description of damage, even if it is insured • A personal estimate of losses that will be uninsured. • An estimate of the fair market value of the damaged home or business Keep records of all clean-up and repair costs and, if possible, document with photographs. Small business owners should consider physical and economic damages. The State of Washington must certify that at least five small businesses in a disaster area have suffered substantial economic injury and need financial assistance not otherwise available to qualify.

by JOHN MAXWELL Editor’s note: This is the 12th and final article in a series celebrating the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge’s centennial. — MD I have enjoyed writing this series of articles for the centennial of Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge. Thank you to Michael Dashiell and the Sequim Gazette for publishing them. A special thank you to the refuge manager and staff for giving me access to their records and to the Port Angeles Branch of the North Olympic Library System for its newspaper microfilm collection. While there are more stories to tell, in this final article I want to talk about the future of the refuge. Dungeness Spit is a geological wonder, the longest such sand spit in the nation. Despite tsunamis, subduction earthquakes and rising sea levels, the spit will not disappear any time soon, thanks to the continuing action of wind, waves and currents. What about sea level change? The spit is only about 11 feet above the current sea level. Winter storms sometimes breach it now. Will it grow higher to match the rising sea level or will it become an underwater sand bar? While current estimates show some shrinkage in the overall size of the spit by 2100, it probably won’t disappear completely. Still, some vital nesting areas on the spit may disappear. Climate change already is affecting birds. The “State of the Birds 2014 Report” by the National Audubon Society and other organizations projects at least 33 species of birds at risk of extinction on this continent. Temperature rise already is affecting bird migration patterns and food supply in nesting and wintering areas. The report lauds “the investment in more than 160 coastal national wildlife refuges and 595,000 acres of national seashore in 10 states.” But it goes on to say, “Nevertheless, birds along

What does the future hold for the Dungeness Wildlife National Refuge in its next 100 years? Sequim Gazette file photo by Michael Dashiell

America’s coastlines face threats from development, increased recreational use and rising sea levels due to climate change.” What about development on Dungeness Bay? It can adversely affect the refuge in several ways. For example, recent water quality reports say the waters of Dungeness Bay are now clean enough to allow the resumption of shellfish farming and harvesting. Last century, a wandering oyster dredge regularly caused severe damage to the eelgrass beds that are the heart of the refuge. The current method of farming geoduck clams presents multiple hazards to both foraging shorebirds and eelgrass. It remains to be seen whether these operations can be carried out without damaging the refuge and its web of life.

Housing developments also present a hazard, mainly from pollution and loss of open land. Most farmlands on the south side of the bay are now protected from development. They provide a necessary buffer zone between the refuge and any future housing developments. Wintering waterfowl depend on these agricultural lands for forage just as much as they depend on the refuge itself.

Good neighbors All of this necessitates a “Good Neighbor Policy” on the part of all parties. Perhaps the most important and influential of those neighbors is the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe. It and the refuge can work together to protect the refuge and the fishery for

not if. How long before we are presented once again with the appalling spectacle of oiled birds and beaches? The Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge and its wildlife also are vulnerable to events far beyond the immediate boundaries. The brant geese that winter here nest on the Arctic Circle; what happens in the Arctic affects them here. Other birds pass through the refuge to rest and refuel on their migrations north and south. The sanderling, a tiny shorebird, travels 10,000 miles one-way from its nesting grounds in the high Arctic all the way down to the southern tip of Argentina. Dungeness is a crucial stopover/refueling place for them. If it disappears or is spoiled, where will they go? Finally, there are the political threats. Some in our political and economic system always have opposed the idea of public lands. They have tried constantly, since even before the establishment of Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge in 1915, to turn public lands — forests, grazing lands, refuges, monuments, even some national parks — over to private ownership and exploitation. While it might seem easy to point an accusing finger at one political party, the truth is that both major parties have sometimes supported and sometimes opposed the concept of public lands preserved for the good of all and for future generations. We who value these lands must be ever vigilant and ready to speak out. The primary group working on these and other issues is the nonprofit organization Friends of Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge. It works with management and other conservation groups to protect and preserve the refuge. It always welcome new members. Please help us protect this priceless gem.

future generations. The refuge management always will strive to keep up good relations with the neighbors, with the understanding that its sole job is to protect the refuge and its wildlife. Would the refuge ever seek to expand? That depends. It would gladly buy land from willing sellers, to act as a further buffer. Donations of land always are welcome — if they fit into the overall pattern of the refuge. But having more land will not protect the refuge from every hazard. Oil tanker traffic through the strait is projected to increase considerably in the next few years. John E. Maxwell is a historian Since accidents are bound to happen, oil spills from this increased for the Dungeness National Wildlife tanker traffic are a matter of when, Refuge.

Sequim High grad: Nation’s biggest fan? Sequim Gazette staff

Hannah Stephens has gone from promoting purple and gold to U of Alabama crimson. The 2010 graduate of Sequim High School is battling other sports-crazed folks in the FanSided Sports’ Fan of the Year. Stephens is competing against four others across the nation. Stephens — daughter of former Sequim residents John and Cindy Stephens — was involved in several sports in Sequim, and after graduating from Sequim High, she attended the University of Alabama, where she joined the rowing team, then graduated from Alabama with a degree in sports broadcasting and worked for a sports radio show in Birmingham, Ala. The FanSided contest runs through Dec. 13. People can logon and vote every day as many times as they want here: fansided.com/fansided-fan-of-the-year-finalists.

An engagement in Seahawk blue Proposal comes at Sea Hawkers club meeting Sequim Gazette staff

From hanging out with the 12th Man to looking for a best man, Greg Roberts and Amber Hansen sure had an interesting evening with their fellow Sea Hawkers. Roberts surprised Hansen,

his girlfriend, with a proposal at the Nov. 19 meeting of the Dungeness Bay Sea Hawkers, held at the Bell Creek Bar & Grill. “Oh my gosh — I had no idea,” Hansen said. “To me, it seems perfect.” Roberts, a retiree who is the media/communications officer for the Sea Hawkers group, said he and Hansen, a caregiver at Sherwood Assisted Living, have been together for about seven months.

Peninsula College adds cyber security degree to course offerings Students enrolled in Peninsula College’s cyber security program now have the opportunity to make a seamless transition to a four-year degree. An articulation agreement between Peninsula College and Western Washington University recently was signed to create a smooth transition for PC students in pursuit of a Bachelor of Science in Computer and Information Systems Security. “I am excited for the opportunity the agreement gives students who want to transfer directly into WWU’s four-year program,” Eric Waterkotte, cyber security instructor and program coordinator, said. “This is just one of many examples where PC works tirelessly to provide diverse pathways for student success.” Eligible students will have completed

an Associate in Applied Science-Transfer Degree in cybersecurity and computer forensics from Peninsula College prior to enrolling at Western Washington University. They must complete at least 90 transferrable quarter-system credits at PC and achieve a minimum college grade-point average of 2.50 according to the agreement. PC’s Cybersecurity and Computer Forensics program prepares students for entry level employment in cybersecurity and computer forensics careers including cyber incident and response, vulnerability detection and assessment analyst, computer forensic analyst and computer forensics investigator. For more information about the program, see www.pencol.edu/cybersecurity or contact program coordinator Eric Waterkotte at ewaterkotte@pencol.edu or 417-6270.

Brain Surgery

“She’s a sweet, beautiful girl (and) means everything to me,” Roberts said. Roberts invited Hansen’s parents to attend the meeting. “I thought, ‘Why (would) my parents want to go to that?’ What a thing to invite them to,” Hansen said. At each meeting, club officials hand out 12 prizes to attendees. Roberts’ plan was to present Hansen with a proposal with the 12th gift.

Her name actually came up earlier in the draw so Roberts had to tuck it away until the end. At gift No. 12, Roberts went down on a knee and presented the ring. “She stood and just stared at it (and said), ‘These aren’t Seahawk colors!’” Roberts recalled. “It all worked out good.” The wedding is set for March 5 at Sequim Community Church.

Tooth Truth

with Richard (Bud) Davies, DDS Family Dentist

PUTTIN’ OUT FIRES

Fires get our attention. They produce light, heat and smoke. If we want to save what is burning, we act fast. With teeth, the common assumption is that, like fires, if you don’t feel or see anything, nothing is happening. The truth is that even people with the best diets and teeth cleaning habits can have dental challenges. And sometimes, like seeing smoke before fire, we may feel a twinge or see a dark spot on our teeth. But more often, there is no warning until the situation is advanced. To prevent that, I encourage all readers to have an examination regularly, before feeling or seeing something unusual.

Pair injured in rollover A 68-year-old man from Naches and 22-year-old woman from Sequim were injured and transported to Olympic Medical Center after their vehicle left the roadway, crashed through a fence and struck several trees near River Road on Dec. 3. According to a Washington State Patrol report, Johnny D. Harris — who was driving a 2002 Ford Explorer with Trisha L. Mulyahill as a passenger — exited U.S. Highway 101 westbound at the River Road exit at about 5:10 p.m. The vehicle then reentered Highway 101 headed eastbound crossing the highway, down an embankment and through a fence onto Turnstone Lane. The vehicle continued westbound before striking several trees and back through the fence at Turnstone Lane before rolling and eventually coming to rest upside down. The state patrol is investigating the incident.

A second resident in the 400 block of Cameron Acres Road called and reported a prowler at that residence that had occurred earlier and the description matched that of Welches, sheriff’s officials said. A subsequent search of the area for two other suspects was unsuccessful. Anyone with information concerning this incident is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 417-2262.

“We have seen an unfortunate increase in traffic deaths this year,” commission director Darrin Grondel said. “By encouraging people to plan ahead over the holiday party season, and to ensure a sober ride home, we hope our state will experience zero traffic deaths in December and through the New Year.” Extra DUI enforcement patrols statewide began Nov. 26 and will end Jan. 1.

inhaled deep into the lungs, agency officials said. That means exposure to wood smoke may, at the very least, cause breathing problems and can increase — sometimes substantially increase — the severity of existing lung disease, such as asthma. Smoke also has been shown to aggravate heart and vascular disease. In addition to minimizing the use of wood stoves and fireplaces, ORCAA asks homeowners to use alternative means of disposal to clean up their yards. Chipping and composting are the best option, though other alternatives to burning also are available. Find more details on options at www. orcaa.org or by calling your local waste disposal company.

stagnation event. The prevailing southern winds that cleared the rest of the region’s air are being blocked by the Olympic Range, leaving Port Angeles and Sequim in a pocket of stagnant air, agency officials said. Meanwhile, cold overnight temperatures and chilly days mean more residents are using their wood stoves and fireplaces to heat their homes. ORCAA asks that residents who do not need to burn to refrain from doing so until this weather pattern changes and the higher than normal air pollution levels dissipate. Burning wood creates smoke composed of fine and very fine particulate matter (PM2.5). These tiny particles are too small to be filtered by the nose and the body’s other natural defense mechanisms, so they are

More seniors may qualify Cancer support groups for property tax relief set at medical center Some seniors and disabled citizens will have an easier time qualifying for property tax relief starting with their 2016 tax bill, Washington Department of Revenue sources say. Recently enacted legislation (Senate Bill 5186) lifts the income limit to qualify for a property tax exemption from $35,000 to $40,000 for property owners 61 years or older, or those retired due to a service or job-related disability. The exemption applies to a person’s principal residence and depends upon the combined disposable income of the applicant, spouse, partner and/or co-tenants occupying the same home. The legislation also raised the income limit from $40,000 to $45,000 for the deferral program, which delays property taxes for seniors

and the disabled until a later date. Under the deferral program, the Washington State Department of Revenue pays the property taxes and any special assessments on the property owner’s behalf. The deferred amount, plus interest, becomes a lien on the home until the total amount is repaid. To be eligible, the homeowner must be either at least 60 years old, unable to work because of a disability, or be at least 57 years old and the surviving spouse or partner of someone who was receiving a deferral at the time of death. The counties administer property taxes on behalf of the state. Interested homeowners should contact their local county assessor’s office to apply. See dor.wa.gov.

all those who participated in facilitating the Warrior Transitional Battalion fishing trips, especially KONP NewsRadio 1450 who hosted him on the radio to promote the event. There has been support from VFW Post 1024, the Daughters of the American Revolution, Voices For Veterans, BPOE Naval Elks and the Clallam County Veterans Association in providing hot dogs and buns monthly to the Northwest USO.

Robert Raymond Duncan came into the world July 2, 1956, the youngest child of Dr. William and Elene Duncan of Seattle, Washington. In 1961 Bob and his family moved to Sequim. He graduated from Sequim High School in 1974. Bob’s passion was to fly and his dream to fly for Alaska Airlines was realized in December of 1983, not long after he had married Mary Jane Dow of Palm Desert, California. They moved to Seattle shortly after. It has been an incredible ride being with Bob for nearly 34 years. From living on a boat, settling in Sequim, raising a family, relocating to Alaska for a time, and going on incredible mission trips where we built houses, served in orphanages and served the Lord. Bob went on to earn three patents and recently won an award in London for his survival suit. Bob’s commitment to his wife and children was incredible! He served the Lord with passion and compassion. He flew 32 years with Alaska Airlines and absolutely loved to fly for a company that he felt had a commitment to their employees and community at large. Bob was happiest when he was surrounded by his family and friends, when he was golfing (with Dave, Steve or Danika), sailing or working/living on a boat, flying, watching his Seahawks, eating key lime pie, inventing, mowing the lawn with his Bad Boy, deep frying turkeys for the holidays, learning German, giving hugs, serving on mission trips, learning about people, attending NFL stadiums, doing commercials for Alaska Air with Russel Wilson, drinking the first pint of Guinness each time he visited Ireland, letting David drive the golf cart...spending time with God! We will miss his incredible sense of humor, inventive mind, passion for living, his unconditional love for his kids (even those that weren’t his own), wisdom, honesty, and his capacity to listen. He is survived by his wife Mary Jane; his five kids Carl, Alastair, Danika, Clara and William; his mother Elene; sisters Dr. Adah Duncan and Carolyn Rice; and brother Tom Duncan. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made to Clallam Mosaic, with checks designated to the Mosaic House (a center for teaching the adult handicapped) at P.O. Box 3081 Sequim, WA 98382. A special thank you to so many in the community that have been there to help and support Bob’s family. Please keep us in your prayers. He will be deeply missed.

Llory Ann Boynton November 22, 2015

Llory Ann Boynton, 84, died November 22, 2015 in Sequim, Washington. A memorial service is planned for Spring of 2016. Please email info@messageglue.com and you will be notified of details. Llory was born in Little Falls, Minnesota and grew up in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan before moving to Arizona and then finally relocating to the Olympic Peninsula. She is survived by her five sons: Dave, Fred, Ken, John and Paul, 7 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren, and close friends who miss her dearly. She was a Registered Nurse, an office manager, a singer/actress in light opera, and was among the very first licensed massage therapists in the state of Washington. She was beloved by all who knew her, including the many creatures who made her yard their home. It was said at one point that she probably had the entire food chain in her garden. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to an animal charity of your choice.

Daniel Eugene Johnson December 13, 1930 - November 24, 2015

Daniel Eugene Johnson passed away peacefully on November 24, 2015 in his Sequim, Washington home surrounded by his wife and three children. The youngest of three brothers, Dan was born on December 13, 1930 to Roy and Josephine Johnson in Bremerton, Washington. When Dan was five years old, the family moved to Port Townsend. Two years later, they migrated to Sequim. On his family’s property there, one of Dan’s many responsibilities was milking the family’s dairy cow each morning alongside older brother Bob, and then carrying the ten gallon cans to the milk stand. As a senior at Bellingham High School, Dan joined the National Guard. After graduating, he got a job driving log trucks in Sequim, later telling tales of his adventures navigating the slick and windy Olympic Peninsula backroads. In 1951, Dan was drafted into the U.S. Army and served his country in the Korean War, building an airstrip as part of a construction crew until 1953. Upon his return home to Sequim, he put his technical skills and knowledge to use, rebuilding an old log truck, which he used on various hauling jobs. Later, he learned his way around other jobs in the logging industry, including topping and rigging trees. Dan met and married Wilma Rhodefer in 1956 in Sequim, where the couple welcomed their first child, Russell, in 1961. Shortly after Russell’s birth, the family moved to Concrete, and Dan started a logging business with his brothers. Two years later, the couple had a daughter, Elaine, and three years afterward, saw the family grow to five with youngest daughter Anita before returning to Sequim, where Dan and Wilma would remain as residents for 50 years. In 1973, Dan started his own road-building business, Dan Dee Construction. For nearly 25 years, he worked on major projects and contracts across the Peninsula, including on a housing development at Diamond Point. Known to local business owners and associates as a loyal and trustworthy business partner, Dan will be remembered by family and friends as a relentlessly driven hard worker who literally helped build the community he was a part of. Close family and friends will also remember Dan away from work. An amateur pilot and skilled mechanic, Dan was routinely seen working on vehicles, restoring antique tractors and enjoying the scenic woodlands on and around his property. When not partaking in work or in his various hobbies, Dan enjoyed traveling to places like Mexico, Alaska, The Grand Canyon, Yellowstone National Park and Mount Rushmore; and along the way, he could always make those around him laugh with his sharp-witted sense of humor. Dan is survived by his wife of 59 years, Wilma; brother Bob; children Russell (Ann) Johnson, Elaine Johnson and Anita (Ron) Reynolds; grandchildren Matthew, Josh, Daniel, Monica, Mitchell and Mason; and great-grandchildren Kaitlyn, Elijah, Isaiah, Bailey, O’ryan, Samantha and Caydence. A memorial service will be held on Monday, December 7, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, 121 E. Maple St., Sequim, WA 98382. Refreshments will be served after the service.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Mosaic adds value to community

Recently, my better half and I attended Clallam Mosaic’s annual dinner and fundraiser held at the Vern Burton Community Center in Port Angeles. “Clallam Mosaic,” you say, “What’s that?” Well, a while back we too had to learn about this nonprofit organization that exists to serve and support adults with developmental dis-abilities (author’s spelling). This includes a variety of impairments that are detected in children and usually lead to public school Special Educational Services. This is a great benefit for these young people who learn what our school system has to offer in education and living skills. I am grateful that Clallam County schools have dedicated teachers and highly rated special education departments. But what happens when the child grows up, becomes an adult and no longer qualifies for school programs? The truth of the matter is that there isn’t much out there. Educational, recreational and social opportunities need to be in place for this valuable segment of our community that doesn’t have a strong voice of their own. Clallam Mosaic, formerly called SNAP, was started by parents and forward thinking advocates to fill this void nearly 20 years ago. It continues with programs in Port Angeles and Sequim. Year-round activities include the core areas of Healthy Living, Life Long Learning, Arts/Crafts/Culture, Cooking, Gardening, Music/Drumming, Social/Dance and Sports/Games/Recreation. I must add Theater! Each spring Olympic Theatre Arts has hosted the “Snappy Players” in their OWN creation and production of a play in which the participants demonstrate their acting and showmanship. It is an event not to be missed and, without fail, brings the audience to a standing ovation. I would encourage you to find out more about this organization and how you might consider helping to support its programs and mission. E-mail to info@clallammosaic or find them on Facebook. Have a joyful and meaningful holiday. George Will Sequim

Another president, time

Can you imagine how this president would react to the bombing of Pearl Harbor? (The 74th anniversary was Monday, Dec. 7). With his policy of dither, dally, dawdle, debate and delay over any question of using military force, he would call in the EPA for an environmental impact study before permitting the sinking of any Japanese oil tankers. In short, this president would lose the war. Ethan Harris Sequim

FROM THE WEB • This week: Students struggle with homelessness … (Dec. 1) Thanks for finally taking a look at the reality in Sequim for young people. It’s a continuum from homeless to every-needmet and data doesn’t necessarily reveal substandard living that has serious negative impact on families with children. We need to look closer to see where needs exist, each one of us in the little daily moments. Our kids depend on us to know better. — Laura MacMurchie I’ve been thinking that what communities need is that every child should have breakfast. There has to be a community supported program to provide every child with a non-shaming food experience at schools. — Cynthia Willard Breakfast is provided at no cost for all Sequim School district students at all schools regardless of Free and Reduced Price Meal eligibility status. Students just have to show up for the meal, there are no further requirements to meet. State and federal laws protect the privacy of all students in regards to family economic status. — Brian Lewis Free non-judgmental breakfasts are a great way to start the day for every student. — Cathy McPeek

Conservation group: ONP’s been under-funded for years

Sequim Gazette staff

Olympic National Park gets only about 60 percent of what it needs to adequately serve visitors, maintain roads and trails, and its protect natural resources, according to a national conservation group. The National Parks Conservation Association is calling for congressional action as the national Park Service’s centennial approaches. The group released a report on Dec. 3 detailing and drawing attention to what it calls “funding shortfalls and opportunities” facing Olympic National Park. “With years of insufficient funding, Olympic National Park is facing challenges that we sadly see across our National Park System — and it is time for Congress to write a new story for our national treasures,” Rob Smith, Northwest

Regional Director for National Parks Conservation Association, said. “Investing in Olympic and our national parks is good for visitors, good for protecting world-class natural resources for future generations and good for regional jobs and businesses — a triple win.” The report comes as members of Congress seek a spending deal to provide funding for national parks and other federal programs and agencies with a Dec. 11 deadline, and as the National Park Service approaches its 100th anniversary in 2016. The report, entitled “Park on the Edge,” examines what the conservation group calls “years of inadequate funding” that has led to Olympic National Park’s $133 million buildup of maintenance needs for trails, visitor centers and other facilities — contributing to the more than $11 billion backlog

across the National Park System. The report also includes four case studies, focusing on the Elwha River, Hurricane Ridge, coastal regions and the Hoh Rain Forest. The Elwha River’s dam removal project — the largest dam removal in U.S. history — allowed for salmon to return to historic spawning grounds, but the report notes, “relatively small amount of additional funds are needed to complete the revegetation of the area and allow continued scientific monitoring and research in the region.” In the Hoh Rain Forest, a newly renovated visitor center opened in this section of the park in June. Because of a lack of more funding, just one ranger was hired to staff the center to greet and provide information to visitors, and the center opened without new exhibits.

At Hurricane Ridge, funds allow for the road to be plowed three days per week, leaving the visitor center and views of the Olympics accessible for just part of the winter months. While volunteers contribute about 12,000 hours each year to help with maintenance, the coastal wilderness regions of the park are being neglected, the report notes. “A $200,000 annual influx could completely support the staff needed to maintain the trails for the safety of visitors as well as to prevent damage to park resources,” National Parks Conservation Association representatives say.

About ONP Last year, about 3.2 million visits to Olympic National Park generated $264 million in spending in communities like Sequim, Port Angeles and Forks, and con-

tributed to more than 3,600 jobs, according to the National Park Service. The park’s popularity continues to grow, the Park Service noted, with June visits up 40 percent this year and a 77-percent increase overall in campground attendance. “Olympic National Park is vital to the economic well-being for the community of Port Angeles,” Russ Veenema, executive director of the Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce, said. “The park rangers do a good job of caring for Olympic with the resources available, but it is up to us citizens and business leaders to advocate for more appropriate funding levels.” See w w w.npca.org / resources/3152-park-on-theedge-funding-shortfalls-at-olympic-national-park for the full report.

election date. “I think it’s our responsibility as school board members to represent what our community wants,” board director Robin Henrikson said. In addition to the new elementary school, the bond would, among other things, pay for renovations and adding classrooms at Greywolf Elementary School, renovation of Helen Haller Elementary School to house Olympic Peninsula Academy, add six science classrooms Sequim High School, demolish an unused portion of Sequim Community School building and upgrade the district’s kitchen and maintenance facility. A similar, $49.2 million bond in February 2014 received 6,691 yes votes to 5,026 no votes — 57.11 percent to 42.89 percent — but fell short of the required 60 percent supermajority. In November, the bond proposal earned 7,193 yes votes — or 59.55 percent — to 4,885 no votes (40.45 percent). “We did not fail (the previous bond vote) — we just did not meet the 60 percent super majority,” Colleen Robinson, president of Citizens for Sequim Schools, said Monday night. “The community wants this.” Prior to the vote, the board received comments from a number of community leaders and citizens urging them to put a proposal to voters in February. “This is a very important investment that is much needed,” Eric Lewis, CEO of Olympic Medical Center, said. “If we delay, it will only increase costs. “Virtually every day I’m recruiting doctors and other (health care) professionals. They really care about local schools. In fact, it’s the No. 1 thing.” Robinson and Brandino

Gibson, president and vice president of Citizens for Sequim Schools, reiterated their group’s commitment to passing Sequim’s school construction bond efforts. Gibson noted that 17 of the district’s 32 precincts topped the 60 percent mark in the November election, up from nine in the previous bond vote. “We haven’t quit. We’re not done,” Gibson said.

By the numbers, more funding options If passed, November’s bond proposal would set the tax rates at $2.11 per $1,000 of assessed valuation for both Sequim’s construction bond and operations levy. If passed in February of 2016, the new bond proposal would cost taxpayers $2.16 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, Lewis said. The school bond would cost local taxpayers about $138.14 more per year, based on the median property value of a $246,000 home. Lewis pointed out that the $2.16 rate still is significantly below the statewide average ($4.36), schools

with similar assessed property values ($4.38) and school districts of similar size ($4.51 for schools of 2,000-2,999 students). It’s also lower than each school district in Clallam and Jefferson counties except for Brinnon (about $1) and Queets-Clearwater (about $1.50). Lewis said the district has applied for a class size reduction grant that is designed to reduce the burden of construction costs on local school districts. The grant, a component of a program legislators developed earlier this year, would augment bond funds as much as $1.7 million. “We don’t want to pass this up,” Lewis said. “It’s rare to get a chance for local matching funds for construction projects.” That, and about $4.3 million in state matching funds available to the Sequim School District for demolishing an unused portion of the Sequim Community School, are contingent upon the district spending money toward construction, Lewis said.

Home Care Is Our Mission

Declining to delay

BLRB Architects, the company Sequim’s school district is using for bond planning, and the Construction Services Group/Educational Service District 112 — a provider of construction-related services exclusive to school agencies — project school construction costs to rise 4 to 11 percent annually, Lewis said. Waiting until November 2016 would add a projected $5 million to the current bond proposal, Lewis said, and about $4 million in interest. “Every delay adds additional cost,” he said.

fer was elected the board’s legislative representative. The board also: • accepted a letter of resignation from Anita Morris, Olympic Peninsula Academy learning coach, and another from bus driver Robin Fling; • offered a kindergarten paraeducator position to Stephanie Doran for the 2015-2016 school year • approved a contract for services with the Family Healing Center Corporation for Helen Haller’s Elementary School’s Title I Parent Program

Lewis said a bond proposal brought to voters sooner than later is preferable for three key elements: projected enrollment at the elementary school, escalation of construction costs and rising interest rates. The district is projecting about 144 more students at the elementary grade levels by 2023, Lewis said. That figure is based on birth rates in Clallam County and does not project any general growth in the Sequim area.

One day, she was asked by co-owner Catherine Beebe (husband was Lloyd Beebe) to lead a sound engineer around to listen to animals. “He had a lot of gear on his back with a boom mic that went up and over his head,” McInnes Edmondson said. “He told me they were gathering sound effects for the second movie.” She didn’t recall distinctly the man’s appearance but he was calm in his demeanor as they went from animal to animal. They recorded lions roaring, baby black bears sucking their paws, a tiger’s puff-puffpuff greeting, a leopard in heat and a river otter. McInnes Edmondson said Emma the river otter may be the source of the most distinct sounds she heard after recently revisiting “Empire Strikes Back.” “She was very friendly and well-trained,” she said. “She had a galvanized tank like a bath tub to swim around in. We always carried little pieces of meat for her. She would beg for the piece of meat.” That begging, McInnes Edmondson said, came out like a high-pitched humming. Admittedly, McInnes Edmondson said she’s not a “Star Wars” fan, but she did go to see the first sequel in theaters when it came out in 1980. “One of the first sounds

“What I hear in these scenes was exactly what she sounded like.” Former farm manager Bill Robb remembers hearing Emma on the silver screen, too. “In the show, you couldn’t pick out the exact sounds because they distorted the sounds but the otter sound was distinctive,” he said. Robb recalls two people coming though for the weekend to record sounds for “Star Wars,” that McInnes Edmondson mentioned including elk and wolves. If other animals or sounds from Sequim were used, it cannot be confirmed at this time. The Tauntaun has been featured in video games, novels, toys and TV shows. Sound staff for “The Empire Strikes Back” could not be reached for comment for this story. However, Randy Thom, credited as sound effects recordist for the film and an Academy Award-winning sound mixer/editor, wrote about the importance of sound in 1999 in his paper “Designing

a Movie for Sound.” In it, he wrote, “I think if you look closely at and listen to a dozen or so of the movies you consider to be great, you will realize how important a role sound plays in many if not most of them. It is even a little misleading to say ‘a role sound plays’ because in fact when a scene is really clicking, the visual and aural elements are working together so well that it is nearly impossible to distinguish them.”

Sequim at the movies Sequim animals appearing on screen isn’t an oddity. From the 1950s to 1972, the Olympic Game Farm, formerly Disney’s Wild Animal Ranch, served as a holding facility for the animal actors of Disney Studios, which now owns the rights to the “Star Wars” brand. During that stint, Lloyd and Catherine Beebe led filming and operations of the animals for films like “Charlie the Lonesome Cougar,” “The Incredible Journey” and other Disney nature pictures. Lloyd would film the animals afar and on the farm. Eventually Disney’s board of directors decided to go away from nature films, so the Beebes officially opened up the farm to the public in 1973. They continued to work with movie and TV companies like 20th Century Fox, MGM, United Artists, ad

agencies and even Disney for films like “Mountain Family Robinson.” Robert Beebe, president of the Olympic Game Farm, said he didn’t grow up in Sequim when special events happened like recording sounds for “Star Wars” and he didn’t learn about some of the historical moments until recently. “My grandfather wasn’t one to boast,” he said. “So a lot of the stories that come across are little Easter eggs from older employees.” Despite a shift in the film industry to use fewer live animals and more animatronics and computer graphics, Beebe said they continue to do work with TV, movies, commercials and video games. State officials even recorded some cougar sounds on site for studies to deter deer and/or attract cougars to certain locations, he said. Calls still come in for various screen work and the farm’s stories keep coming out, too. James Beebe, vice president of the farm, said he’s been told a farm animal, possibly Emma, provided some of the sounds for the titular character in “E.T. The ExtraTerrestrial.” But we’ll dial that story up possibly for its sequel or reboot.

Class IV Laser Technology

Brings New Hope for Pain Sufferers Now Available in Your Area

100 MILLION Americans suffer from chronic pain.

If you suffer with acute and chronic pain, we invite you to try our non-surgical solutions. This pain affects everything that you do, from work to play, and ultimately your quality of life. We are here to tell you that there is hope. We can help you get your life back. At NW Pain Relief Centers we have helped thousands of pain sufferers just like you. We only offer the most advanced, non-surgical treatments and therapies. We are so confident that we can help, that we are offering a Direct Access 27 point Exam. There is no obligation and the only thing you have to lose is your pain. There are many causes of pain. Some people develop it over time, while others are injured in sports, work, or auto accidents. No matter what the cause, people cope with pain differently. Our new laser treatment is the next BIG step in relieving your pain.

THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS AND CONDITIONS HAVE SEEN PHENOMENAL RESULTS USING NW PAIN RELIEF CENTERS’ CUSTOMIZED TREATMENT PROTOCOL AND CLASS IV LASER THERAPY:

• Bulging or Herniated Discs • Protruding or Slipped Discs • Spinal Fusion • Sciatica or Arthritis Pain • Stenosis or Degenerative Discs • Leg/Foot Numbness or Pain • Neuropathy Pain • Knee or Hip Pain • Sports Injuries/Sprains & Strains

doctor, chiropractor or therapist, but are still dealing with the same pain. We are able to help many of these people, because of our new robotic laser treatment. This class IV laser therapy has been used to treat painful and debilitating conditions like joint pain, back pain, neuropathies, and many other acute injuries. Experience the difference our newest treatment can bring and get your life back.

IS SURGERY THE ANSWER? Many of our patients have been told they need surgery. It can be true that surgery may be the answer for certain types of acute and chronic pain. However, we have found success with many of these patients, due to our state-of-the-art class IV laser treatments. When considering your options, ask yourself this question: IF THERE IS A SOLUTION TO YOUR PAIN THAT DOESN’T REQUIRE SURGERY, IS IT WORTH EXPLORING?

WHY CLASS IV LASER THERAPY WORKS

WILL MY PAIN GO AWAY OVER TIME? Many people spend a lot of time trying to find relief for their pain. In many cases turning to surgery, injections, or habitforming prescriptions, usually only masks the pain and never really improves the condition. Why suffer longer than you need to? If you are considering extreme measures, visit NW Pain Relief Centers first! If you are experiencing acute and chronic pain, take action now! Don’t continue to let pain control your life!

THE SOLUTION: NW PAIN RELIEF CENTERS’ CLASS IV LASER THERAPY NW Pain Relief Centers is introducing a new laser technology that is helping patients find near-immediate relief for pain and injury without the use of surgery, injections, or habit-forming prescriptions. NW Pain Relief Centers is now making this breakthrough treatment available to anyone looking for the ultimate relief in pain. We find that many people have seen a family

The use of laser therapy has been an effective treatment for pain and injuries for many years. As a non-invasive tool, the laser is particularly effective for the efficient treatment of soft tissue injuries, sprains and strains, and a variety of other ailments and pain.

WHAT IF YOU COULD: • Walk or run without pain or discomfort? • Do yard work and enjoy the outdoors? • Play with your children or grandchildren? • Loosen up stiff and sore joints? • Improve your overall quality of life?!

Because the class IV laser reaches deep into the tissues, it is ideal for treating sprains and strains, arthritis, calcified muscles and fibrotic adhesions, as well as intra-articular tissues inside of the joints. Its far-reaching capabilities also allow the deep tissue laser to achieve results in less time than most cold lasers currently used today. With treatment times of as little as 5 to 15 minutes, the class IV laser allows many conditions to vastly improve within a few visits. Oftentimes, patients find immediate, soothing relief that improves with each treatment. This non-invasive therapy helps to improve local blood circulation, reducing pain rapidly. Best of all, there are NO NEGATIVE side effects associated with laser treatment. Each treatment only lasts a few minutes and

most patients experience dramatic improvement in their condition within 1-3 treatments. NW Pain Relief Centers is thrilled to offer these unique services to people in the area.

WHY NW PAIN RELIEF CENTERS? NW Pain Relief Centers believes in taking a team approach when it comes to treating our patients. We aim to come up with effective solutions to decrease your pain and improve your health so you can live your life.

City band, orchestra combine in holiday concert Sequim Gazette staff The Sequim City Band presents a holiday concert in conjunction with the Sequim Community Orchestra at 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 13, in the Sequim High School Auditorium. Under the direction of Phil Morgan-Ellis, the Community Orchestra will perform “The Christmas Song” by Mel Torme and Robert Wells, “Tidings of Comfort and Joy,” “Sleigh Ride Mozart” edited by Douglas Stroud and “Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gershwin, arranged by Bob Cerulli. Tyler Benedict will lead the City Band in an array of well-known and well-loved seasonal favorites. Peter Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker Suite” will include the famous set of dances from Act 2, including the Waltz of the Flowers, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and Russian Trepak Dance among others. The “Hallelujah Chorus” from G.F. Handel’s oratorio “The Messiah” is an audience pleaser. A medley of singable carols is packed into “Merry Christmas Everyone.” Old standards such as “Winter Wonderland” and “Happy Holiday/White Christmas” also will be part of the concert. As usual, the Sequim City Band concert is free of charge but this combined concert will benefit the Sequim Food Bank.

Gospel Singers get in the spirit

From page B-1

Sequim Gazette staff Peninsula Men’s Gospel Singers present a sleigh load of never-before-performed songs and classics for their annual Christmas concerts on Dec. 12-13 in Sequim and Port Angeles. They’ll be joined by numerous guests as well for the shows at 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 12, at Dungeness Valley Lutheran Church, 925 N. Sequim Ave., and 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 13, at the Port Angeles Senior Center, 328 E. Seventh St. The 18 singers come from more than eight churches and will be joined by Scott Anders, a PA High School graduate and music student at Shoreline Community College, to play the Bach Prelude “#21 in Bb” and more. Also playing are accompanist Penny Hall with sign language interpreter Karen Coles throughout the Submitted photo shows and Dr. Mike McBride playing a trombone solo on “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” and oboist John Zuener playing “Love Came Down at Christmas.” Rivers arranged a special version of “Silent Night” for the show, which includes one of three original arrangements of carols by the director along with “Away in the Manger” and “Joy to the World.” Audience members can sing along if they choose for classics “O Holy Night,” “What Child Is This?” and “O Come All Ye Faithful” too. The shows are free with donations accepted for the group’s operations, including singing at Clallam Bay Corrections Center, retirement homes and various churches on the peninsula. Following these shows, the group performs at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 17, at Park View Villas, 1430 Park View Lane, Port Angeles. For seating availability, call 452-7222. For more information on the group, visit www.pmgospelsingers.com.

the repertoire for both ballet companies and orchestras and comprise some of the most famous music ever written. “Swan Lake” tells the tragic story of Prince Siegfried and his doomed love for the princess Odette, who was transformed into the form of a white swan by the evil magician von Rothbart. • “Prelude to Hansel and Gretel” by Englebert Humperdinck — “Hansel and Gretel” is an opera by 19th-century German romantic composer Engelbert Humperdinck, who described it as a fairy-tale opera. It has been associated with Christmas since its earliest performances and today it is still most often performed at Christmastime. It is much admired for its folk music-inspired themes. • “Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah” by George Frederic Handel — Handel’s celebrated three-part oratorio “Messiah” concludes its second part with the most well known and often performed segment of that work, the beloved “Hallelujah Chorus” which frequently is performed around Christmastime. The brilliance of the counterpoint and triumphant character of the music make this a wonderful holiday concert selection, with or without the words being sung. The symphony also will play nine traditional Christmas carols. Jonathan Pasternack, music director and conductor of the Port Angeles Symphony, has conducted orchestras, opera and ballet in the United States and Europe, and Orchestra Seattle.

‘The Coats’ sets single Sequim show Touring a cappella group bringing renowned act to high school stage Sequim Gazette staff

We c in uim ym-

A longtime connection has spurred a visit to Sequim by one of the Pacific Northwest’s premier a cappella groups. The Coats, a nationally touring male quartet based in the Puget Sound region, comes to Sequim for a one-show-only performance on Thursday, Dec. 10. The group frequently has sold out holiday shows at Seattle’s Benaroya Hall and shared stages with dozens of acts from The Beach Boys, Trisha Yearwood and Eddie Money to comedians Gallagher and Jay Leno.

‘The Coats’ in Sequim What: Male a cappella singers host concert, with SHS Vocal Ensemble When: 7 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 10 (doors open at 6 p.m.) Where: Sequim High School Performing Arts Center, 533 N. Sequim Ave. Tickets: $10 for students with ASB cards, $15 for adults More info: Call 582-3600 On the web: www.thecoats.net

Doug Wisness, the group’s baritone and business manager, said his connection to Sequim dates back to his junior high and high school when he shared a locker with current Sequim High School principal Shawn Langston; the two attended Rogers High School in Puyallup. Wisness said the group formed in 1987 and has had the same four members — himself, bass Kerry Dahlen and tenors Jamie Dieveney and Keith Michael Anderson — since 1994. “We just started singing on the street corners of Seattle,” Wisness says. “After we all graduated, we tried to start singing, to make a career of it.” Wisness says The Coats

Library book talk takes on Griffiths’ ‘The Crossing Places’ “The Crossing Places” by Elly Griffiths is the book up for discussion at 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 12, at the Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave. All are welcome to drop in and participate. In the book, forensic archeologist Dr. Ruth Galloway lives happily alone with her two cats in a bleak, remote area near Norfolk, a land that was sacred to its Iron Age inhabitants — not quite earth, not quite sea. But her routine days of digging up artifacts and other ancient objects are harshly upended when a child’s bones found on a desolate beach are bizarrely

brings will bring some serious energy to the Sequim stage. “We try to bring it all — make you laugh, make you think, bring a tear to your eye, get you clapping, get you up out of your seats,” he says. Opening the concert will be Sequim High School’s Vocal Ensemble, under the direction of John Lorentzen. Prior to the show, members of The Coats will work with Sequim High singers in a one-hour workshop. “We used to do a lot of schools assemblies; we don’t do that a whole lot anymore,” Wisness says. “It’s inspiring kids,” Wisness s a y s . “ It ’s amazing.

Ideal submissions will be simple and designed to blend into the surrounding area. A Northwest theme is recommended. The surface of the tank is rough concrete and the simplicity of the design should take this into account. It is recommended that potential design donors visit the water tank to observe the location, surrounding area and the surface of the water tank. Dimensions of the tank are 15 feet high by 345.4 feet in circumference. The staff of the PAFAC will review all proposals and will determine the final process for selecting the winning submission.

clients in addition to concerts at colleges, fairs and community centers and sold-out shows at Benaroya, have managed to continue to perform for two decades despite managing other professions, opportunities and personalities. “That’s the toughest part about the whole thing, is being able to get along,” Wisness says. “We’re all friends. We communicate well for each other (and) we respect each other. Everyone has their own different role in the group.” For more about the group, see www.thecoats.net.

Wolves win big in home opener by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

The Wolves (1-1) slammed home a 63-42 win over Klahowya (0-3) on Dec. 4. Senior Jackson Oliver led Sequim with 21 points in the non-league win including a momentum-swinging slam dunk in the second quarter. The Wolves led through the first but the Eagles stayed close behind 11 points from senior Payton Ryen. Troy Potter gave the Eagles their only lead of the game at 1312 with a bucket to start the second quarter but Oliver responded with a bucket and put the Wolves up for good. The big swing came for Sequim following a block by

Payton Glasser in the low post which led to his bucket with about 4:15 to go in the second quarter. Oliver followed the play with a steal and a dunk that ignited the crowd. Freshman Kyler Rollness kept the energy high sinking a threepointer before halftime to put the Wolves up 33-16. Scoring stayed high in the second half with both teams keeping pace at 16 each in the third quarter, including eight from Oliver. Sequim’s biggest lead of 22 points came early in the second half before the Eagles began trading buckets. The third quarter ended at 49-32. Oliver had his second career dunk late in the third quarter but

Storm King squad starts season with victory Sequim Gazette staff

Competitors during the fall, these peninsula athletes are combing forces in the winter months. Storm King Peninsula Soccer Academy’s winter high school girls team started their North Puget Sound League 2015-2016 season off with a bang, clobbering Woodinville’s North Shore Impulse 4-0 on Dec. 6. Maddie Boe scored a pair of goals, Mia Delguzzi-Flores and Sierra Robinson had one apiece, while goalkeepers Claire Henninger and Maddie Wenzl split the shutout. The girls’ Peninsula Soccer Academy was first started by Tom Harris of Sequim four years ago in coordination with coach Tim Tucker of Peninsula College. The goal, Tucker says, was to

help athletes who wanted to get better and continue playing soccer after their high school season, combining college expertise in coaching along with some of the area’s top female athletes as mentors. With the encouragement of local high school coaches Brittany Murdach (Sequim) and Scott Moseley (Port Angeles), the academy PSA is now at a 34-person squad with players from Sequim, Port Angeles and Port Townsend. This year’s squad is coached by Jake Hughes, assistant men’s and women’s Peninsula College coach, along with assistant coaches Heidi Veride, Lisa Radford and goalie coach Nick Johnson. Peninsula Soccer Academy’s next game is Jan. 2 against the Federal Way Storm King Peninsula Soccer Academy’s girls soccer squad is 1-0 after a shutout against Woodinville’s North Shore Impulse on Dec. 6.

PC suffers first loss at Wenatchee Valley Sequim Gazette staff

Not a perfect beginning — but pretty close. Peninsula College’s women’s basketball squad took two of three on a short road trip last week, helping them improve to a 6-1 start of the young season, their first defense of an NWAC championship. The Pirates, ranked No. 1 in the first Northwest Athletic Association’s women’s basketball coaches’ poll, kept their torrid start going with a 96-91 win against Columbia Basin on Dec. 4. In a matchup of the conference’s past two champs, Peninsula had four starters in double figures, led by Cierra Moss, Zhara Laster and Imani Smith. MOSS The next evening, PC got by seventh-ranked Walla Walla 72-65 on the Warriors’ court. Moss totaled 25 points and seven rebounds and Jenise

McKnight had a big night with 14 points and seven rebounds. Laster added nine points, nine rebounds and five steals to the victory. A struggle from the field finally sent Peninsula away with their first loss of the season. Wenatchee Valley jumped out to a 13-point first half lead and held on to a 77-64 win. The Pirates got 23 points and eight rebounds from Smith and another 14 points from Moss, but the rest of the Pirate crew had trouble getting on track. SMITH Peninsula shot just 3-of-20 from three-point range (15 percent) and 25-of-72 from the floor (35 percent). They also had five players in foul trouble. The Knights had four players in double figures, led by the 16 points from Rebecca Stevenson and 15 from Treasure Farmer. Next up for Peninsula is a 2 p.m. Dec. 11 match-up against Tacoma in the opening game of the Pierce Holiday Invitational, a three-day tournament in Lakewood. The Pirates make their home debut at the 2015 North Region Women’s Crossover Tournament, an eight-team bracket, set for Dec. 17-19 in Port Angeles.

home tourney An up-and-down season continues for Peninsula’s men. The Pirates split a pair of games at their own First Federal Pirate Classic last weekend, missing a chance for their first back-to-back victories of the 2015-2016 campaign. Peninsula (3-4) opened the tourney Dec. 5 with a 75-72 win against Tacoma. Deonte Dixon led the Pirates with 19 points and four rebounds, Darrion Daniels hit for 14 and Ryley Callaghan had 10. Patrick Ling and Kahliel Wyatt each had 18 points each for Tacoma. Peninsula held the lead for much of the game, and with seconds remaining and holding a 73-72 saw PC freshman Daniels sink a pair of free throws. PC coach Mitch Freeman elected to foul on the ensuing play and it worked, as Tacoma missed

he was fouled hard during his delivery. Payton Glasser, who finished with 15 points, scored four points in the fourth and at least once in every quarter for Sequim. Nick Faunce attacked the glass throughout the night gra bbing 12 rebounds, and Jack Shea, celebrating his 18th birthday, snagged eight boards while both seniors scored six apiece. Oliver finished 8-of-18 from the field, Glasser 7-of11. Shea said the win felt great especially after a tough 70-36

free throws and a layup as time expired. On Dec. 6, South Puget Sound’s Clippers jumped out to a 13-point lead and held on for an 86-72 win over the home Pirates. Dez Stoudamire, cousin of former NBA and Arizona standouts Damon Stoudamire and Salim Stoudamire, stole the show with 28 points, including five 3-pointers. Dixon led PC with 19 points and Dimitri Amos added 17. Callaghan had 11 points, six rebounds and six assists, and Jeremiah Hobbs added 11 points, seven rebounds and five blocked shots. Peninsula has seven games remaining before opening North Division play at Edmonds in January. Next up for the PC men is a road trip to face Centralia on Dec. 11 and then Clark, ranked No. 3 in the first Alaska Airlines Coaches Poll, on Dec. 12.

DISTRICT Schools will be closed for winter break from Dec. 21-Jan. 1. School resumes after winter break on Monday, Jan. 4.

GREYWOLF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL A national campaign launched by Teaching Tolerance over a decade ago, Mix It Up at Lunch Day encourages students to cross social boundaries. Cheryl McAliley, school psychologist and counselor, reports that every Friday will be a “Mix It Up Friday.” Students are encouraged to invite someone new to join them at lunch. It is a great way to help students feel included and make new friends. Literacy specialist Krista Chatters wrote a grant proposal to promote home reading and develop student motivation to read, and was awarded $1,000 from the Albert Haller Foundation for a Readbox initiative. The Readbox initiative is designed to allow students to make choices about their reading material which the research has found to increase the likelihood that students would engage more in reading. The initiative provides every student in grades K-4,that is provided supplemental reading instruction in our Wolf Den Reading Room, access to the Readbox each time they pass to a new reading level. The Readbox is filled with engaging high quality trade books from which students can select. These books are for students to take home and keep for their own collections. This initiative supports home reading, builds the school/home connection and get books into the students’ hands. Readbox is modeled after the Redbox DVDs and video games rental company. New releases and top 10 book choices are highlighted! First-graders in Monique Brasher’s classroom, along with other classes, created holiday cards and wrote messages in them to be included in care packages for troops in the armed forces who are stationed overseas. For the young students, the project was an exercise in planning, sorting, selecting, organizing, cutting, pasting, writing and coloring. School counselor Cheryl McAliley coordinates Greywolf’s efforts with a local community organization each year. The packages are being mailed early in order to allow enough time for them to reach their respective destinations.

HELEN HALLER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

SEQUIM MIDDLE SCHOOL

School counselor Joan Trindle reports that all students in grades 1-5 have been through the Zone Center. They learned that the Zones represent different ways we feel (physical, emotional and mental states) throughout our day. They learned that each zone has a sound, look and feel to it. We also explored the strategies that can be used to regulate one’s zone (think: self-regulation, self-control). The goal is to be in the expected zone in a given situation. It is important to note that everyone experiences all of the Zones — the Red and Yellow Zones are not the “bad “or “naughty” Zones. All of the Zones are expected at one time or another. It is what behavior we use that is important. We say, “It’s OK to be mad, it is not OK to be mean.” How do you regulate your Zones? We will discuss more on this subject over the coming months.

Parents and community members are heartily invited to attend our upcoming musical concerts. The band concert, directed by David Upton, is at 7 p.m. today, Dec. 9, in the gymnasium. The choir concert, directed by John Lorentzen, is at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 15, in the cafeteria.

SEQUIM HIGH SCHOOL Career counselor Mitzi Sanders took a group of juniors and seniors on an annual trip to the National College Fair at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle on Oct. 16. The trip provided an opportunity for students to interact with admission representatives from a wide range of postsecondary institutions. The Sequim High Chapter of Future Business Leaders Association (FBLA) has 23 members. Officers are Nicole Anders (president), Tolin Simpson (vice president),

Kelly Anders (secretary), Cathy Dao (treasurer), Christian Benson (parliamentarian), Grant Pierson (reporter) and Mikayla Ewing (historian). Their mission is to educate and network next generation entrepreneurs and business leaders. Mark Knudson, FBLA faculty advisor, explained, “We focus on bridging the gap between business and education through innovative leadership and career development opportunities. This is more than just a club. Students are more like Junior Rotarians who are intrinsically motivated to make a difference in the world in spite of any barriers or challenges which present themselves. We build programs that focus on teaching 21st-century leadership skills for our high school students. We give students the opportunity to participate in competitive events, community service projects and leadership development opportunities that build their skills in very real and practical ways, and allow them to network with some of the best business people and entrepreneurs in our region.”

On Nov. 12, FBLA students, accompanied by teachers Knudson and Stuart Marcy, attended the FBLA Puget Sound Region Fall Conference in Tacoma. The fall conference had more than 300 attendees from the Puget Sound Region. Students went to workshop sessions with prominent business leaders, Rep. Laurie Jinkins (27th District), representatives from several universities, and visited a Dress for Success booth sponsored by Men’s Wearhouse. Students received full access passes to the LeMay Car Museum as part of the conference. Students had opportunities to network with their peers from other high schools and some took a spin in the NASCAR Speedzone Simulator. The conference was a great opportunity to be exposed to professionalism, leadership and career development. For more information about FBLA, visit www.fbla-pbl.org and www.wafbla.org. Choir members will get an opportunity to participate in a vocal music workshop with members of The Coats, a male a cappella singing group coming to Sequim on Dec. 10. After the workshop, the Vocal Ensemble will open a 7 p.m. performance by The Coats in the Performing Arts Center that is open to the public. Doors open at 6 p.m. and admission is $10 for students with an ASB card and senior citizens, and $15 for adults. Checks and cash only will be accepted methods of payment. A portion of the event’s proceeds will benefit the high school’s choir program. The choir program is under the direction of John Lorentzen. IT Academy Instructors Mark Knudson and Charles Kleinberg are excited that Sequim High School ranks in the Top 5 for pass rate on the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Certification Exams compared against all Washington high schools, regardless of size. These exams are the culminating projects in our Microsoft IT Academy courses. SHS business students have earned 89 MOS certificates, missing the Top 10 in overall numbers by just 1 certificate. MOS Certification Exams are managed and proctored by Certiport, a Pearson company. These exams cost the general public approximately $150 each and that doesn’t include the training they would need for preparation. Students leave high school with these professional level certifications in their portfolio and are entered in an international Microsoft Certification database. Of special note: SHS freshman

If every time you tried to make a basket you got one, you wouldn’t be as pleased with yourself as you are when they happen every once in a while. If every time you wanted something you got it, it wouldn’t cause you to really be happy like it does when you occasionally get the thing you want. That doesn’t mean you should never push it. Of course you should. The harder you try the more you are likely to get the basket. In fact, the harder you try, the more excited you will be when you achieve whatever you are after. Help your little ones (including all the way up to teens) learn these lessons. They need to hear about them especially when they fail at something. Encourage them to try harder and to be more pleased with their

success when it arrives. Begin today. Look at the weather. Enjoy the rain coming down because we need to fill up the reservoirs and replenish the snow pack. Enjoy the wind because it is blowing out all the excess branches in the trees and getting the last leaves down. Enjoy the day because this is the last Dec. 9, 2015, you will ever have. The old saying about the glass being either half full or half empty is true. Try to look on the brighter side but don’t ignore the tougher side either. The tougher side is trying to help us appreciate things in life.

and Future Business Leaders Association (FBLA) member Morgana Fergusson has received the first-ever Microsoft Office Specialist Master Certification at Sequim High School. This is a cumulative certification earned by Morgana for passing the Word Expert Part A, Word Expert Part B, PowerPoint MOS, Word MOS and Excel MOS exams. Morgana will be competing in the Microsoft Office Specialist events at upcoming FBLA conferences, which could lead to the national competition in Atlanta at the end of the year. The basic IT Academy exams are PowerPoint MOS and Word MOS. Our courses allow for differentiation of our diverse learners. Morgana is an example of gifted and talented differentiation. The software used for instruction and assessment also has an Accommodations Tool that allows for additional attempts, more time and a reduction of tasks and assignments when necessary. IT Academy instructors work collaboratively to maintain a consistent approach for all students. This includes the use of mastery-based learning allowing students as much time and practice as they need to enhance their skills. Course software is web-based and students are encouraged to access it at home to extend the learning day.

Welfare for Animals Guild

(360) 460-6258 www.petfinder.com welfare4animals@hotmail.com Sponsored by caring pet lovers. BUDDY is a 2 year old Dachshund/Chihuahua mix who loves to snuggle. He gets along well with large and small dogs as well as cats. Buddy walks ok on a leash, knows come and stay. He is not a barker and loves his people, please no small children. This little guy has lots of energy and loves to run and play, so a home with another small dog is a must and he will need a secure fenced yard. He is housebroken and neutered. ISSAC is a lovable typical lab that just wants to be with his buddy. He came to us needing help as he had skin infections due to a flea infestation. With a little bit of medication and good food he is looking very handsome! He has recently completed our training program out at Callam Bay Corrections Center and is ready for his new home (no small children). If you are looking for a new best friend he is your guy.

www.stinkydogubathe.com PORKY is a sweet, happy boy, full of energy and wiggles. He gets along with other dogs and cats, loves to play with his toys and be with his person. I wouldn’t suggest very small children as he becomes fearful if someone tugs on his collar or tries to pick him up. He has recently completed his basic training at Clallam County Correction Center.

TURBO was found as a stray. He is on phenobarbital to control seizures. He is not housebroken but will do his business outside when you take him, he just needs to be taken out every few hours. He loves to snuggle with you, and loves to play with his big foster brothers a great dane and a standard poodle. He is also great with cats, sometimes chases them but just to play. He just turned a year old.
