Seven months after opening for business, some finishing touches remain on the Sequim Civic Center but its construction contract is signed off for good.

“I don’t ever remember a boring day in the Olympics,” Ross Hamilton said from the comfort of a modest lounge chair in his home located in the heart of Sequim. Many men in their 70s may be happy or even delighted to sit comfortably in the middle of town with nearly all modern conveniences at their fingertips, but if Hamilton had it his way, he’d be in a remote setting, tucked away in the foothills of the Olympic Mountains with only nature as his companion. Instead, Hamilton, a prestigious and widely recognized landscape photographer of the Olympic Peninsula, has had to adjust to a lifestyle surrounded by people after the ongoing loss of his ability to see. By 2000, Hamilton admits he’d lost his vision due to glaucoma.

City supports SARC’s $760K grant, YMCA’s low-income memberships Olympic Peninsula YMCA seeking more partnerships by ALANA LINDEROTH and MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

The first steps are in place following the Olympic Peninsula YMCA’s feasibility study to reopen SARC. On Monday night, Sequim city councilors unanimously endorsed state economic opportunity funds going to the center and they approved a contract with the YMCA to support low-income memberships. SARC’s board of commissioners applied for a grant through the Clallam Economic Development Corporation earlier this year for $760,500 to replace the pool’s failing Natatorium HVAC system.

the county’s Transportation Improvement Plan. Jeff Selby, vice president of the Peninsula Trails Coalition, said the next step is to fund the study. His organization hopes to accomplish that soon, with the goal of completing the study within four months so that grant funding to build the first section or sections may be applied for in May 2016. “The schedule is tight, but now that this crucial first step has been taken by Commissioners Johnson, Kler and Sullivan, we can move ahead — after working toward this for 25 years,” Selby said. At its completion, the Olympic Discovery Trail will be a 126-mile multipurpose non-motorized trail running from Port Townsend to the Pacific Ocean via Discovery Bay Village, Gardiner, Blyn, Sequim and Port Angeles. About 70 miles of the trail have been built, with a large section on the north side of Lake Crescent nearing completion. The six-mile Eaglemount section is the longest part of the trail not yet planned, according to the Peninsula Trails Coalition, largely because of topographical challenges. Jefferson County, the City of Port Townsend and Port of Port Townsend have completed the Larry Scott Memorial Trail from Port Townsend to Discovery Road and the county is about to begin construction of the Discovery Bay South Trail from Old Gardiner Road to Snow Creek at the head of Discovery Bay. But the connection between those two trails has remained undeveloped. That leaving hikers, cyclists and other trail enthusiasts to use the highway.

New Sequim bridge nearly complete Sequim Gazette staff

Workers are putting on the finishing touches to the new 750-foot pedestrian bridge at the Dungeness River Audubon Center this week. Randy Johnson, Habitat Program Manager for the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe said that a few relatively minor tasks remain to completing the bridge, a section of the Olympic Discovery Trail that was closed in February after flooding damaged the old creosoted railroad trestle. Johnson said four floods have “rumbled down” the Dungeness River since February: one that damaged the trestle and three since the new bridge has been under construction. During the floods, the river has migrated 230 feet west, Johnson said. “Had the trestle not been removed, at least 15 pile bents — 75 creosoted piling, creosoted timbers and bridge decking — would have been knocked down and strewn all the way from the Railroad Bridge Park to Dungeness Bay,” he said. The construction access road is being removed and by the Workers from Nordland Construction of Marrowstone Island attach the deck and lay rebar on the new viewing platform end of Tuesday, Dec. 15, both floodplain channels should be located midway along the new 750-foot bridge that is replacing a trestle damaged by flooding.

Commissioners OK 2016 county budget 11 percent spending increase set for 2016 by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Clallam County officials anticipate spending $36.8 million in 2016 — nearly an 11 percent ($3.6 million) increase from expenditures projected in 2015. To cover the estimated costs while still maintaining a balanced budget, county Administrator Jim Jones expects to use about $3 million from the county’s General Fund reserves given a forecasted $33.8 million in revenues. Drawing from the reserves leaves a balance of $9.2 million, but Jones is confident that’s enough to end the fiscal year with. “The projecting ending fund balance of $9,208,553 is still very healthy and is $869,083 more than the minimum amount our policies call for,” he said. After 28 publicly noticed meetings, including three public hearings, county commissioners unanimously adopted the 2016 budget

SARC

on Dec. 8. The final and approved budget is reflective of the community input gathered at the 2016 budget public hearings on Dec. 1. “This year, for the first time in the 10 budgets I have presented, the BOCC (Board of County Commissioners) agreed to make significant changes in selected General Fund revenues and in reduced spending in REET (real estate excise tax),” Jones noted in his executive summary of the adopted 2016 budget. A reduction of $400,000 in selected General Fund revJONES enues was one of the “significant” changes from Jones’ recommended budget. Under the change, the original estimated revenue from both Investment Interest and Sales Tax were each reduced by $200,000. Additionally, the commissioners opted to not spend $250,000 from the real estate excise tax fund previously earmarked to further pursue a controversial shooting range at Sadie Creek west of Joyce.

Councilor Ted Miller said he st rongly supports the m ot io n b e cause “it’s one of the best uses for economic fund dollars.” H o w e v e r, MILLER councilors Dennis Smith and Laura Dubois expressed their desire that Clallam County commissioners would step up their support in the future. Prior, Clallam County commissioner-elect Mark Ozias told city councilors he supports the contracts with SARC. “I believe if SARC is going to be successful over the longterm, it’ll take a regiona l appro ach and cooperation between multiple entities,” he said. “ W h e n I ’m OZIAS sworn in a s county commissioner, I’ll do what I can to provide leadership at the county level to make sure the county is doing its part to help come up with a long term and permanent solution for SARC.” To further discuss the proposed capital project grant, Low-income support SARC board members are Sequim city councilors meeting with EDC officials also committed $30,000 at 10:30 a.m., Friday, Dec. 18, a year over three years as at the corporation’s meeting contracted services to the

YMCA for low-income memberships. City Manager Charlie Bush said the agreement is contingent on the economic opportunity funding going through for SARC and a deal going through between SARC and the YMCA. “Essentially you are endorsing the YMCA as an operaBUSH tor,” Bush said. “I think that is the best option SARC has at this time. No other options are readily available if you want to see it open quickly.” Bush said the city’s contribution would make up about 3.5 percent of the YMCA’s tentative $850,000 operating budget for SARC. If reopened, the facility would create 42-45 jobs for a payroll of $525,000. “This is our opportunity to do our part,” Bush said. Bush said historically, 20 percent of SARC’s users come from the City of Sequim and that they’ll pay for the contracted services using cell phone tower rental fees. Dubois said she wants the YMCA to reopen SARC but voiced her frustrations with how the facility was/ is run. “It’s difficult to commit city funds to something that should have been run over the years in a more sustainable manner,” she said. “Of the current and previous boards, they knew

alone accounts for more than $20 million of the total 2016 budget. However, Jones said, the Road Department is “always” the largest of the county’s Special Revenue Funds and thus the associated expenditures are far from alarming. In his executive summary, Jones also notes the upcoming spending of $10.4 million in 2016 for the Carlsborg sewer project. “We expect to start construction as early in the spring as possible and hope to be finished by the end of the year, starting operation in 2017,” Jones said. Stepping back from the budget and looking at its impact, Jones reported within the coming new year county officials anticipate taking about $30.7 million out of the economy via taxes, fines and fees, but project putting $82.5 million into the economy via payroll, supplies, capital projects and contracting services. The 2016 adopted Clallam County budget can be viewed online at clallam.net/bocc/Budget2016.html.

Beyond the General Fund and among the county’s other funds, Jones estimates $62.4 million in expenditures and $49.5 million in revenues. Based on the forecasted revenues and beginning balance of about $40 million, Jones expects an ending balance of $25 million.

they were only covering 80 percent of their operating costs and neglected to run regular small levies. They waited and ran down funds, which should have been used for replacement of this air handler. This is a failure on the part of the SARC board.” Dubois said she only voted for the contract because the funds go to DUBOIS the YMCA. “I know they have experience in operating parks and recreation facilities and pools and will have a much more sustainable business model than operating under in the past,” she said. Councilor Genaveve Starr found the contract opportunity to be a positive partnership, she said. “It is a lot of money, but I’m thinking of the fact we’re partnering with the county, hopefully, Olympic Medical Center, (Sequim) School District and the Y, so to my thought that’s a very positive effort to solve this problem,” she said. “I’m not forgetting all the people who have come to the council to testify how important the SARC facility is for their well-being of life.” Reach Alana Linderoth at alinderoth@sequimgazette. com.

“Obviously, we have to have a budget, but I don’t indend to live under this budget, I don’t intend to spend this much of the reserves,” he said. “I think this my message to Bill and Commissioner-elect (Mark) Ozias is that I think in January, we need to roll up our sleeves and make some changes so we don’t use all $3 million of reserves.” One change or strategy Chapman suggested he and his colleagues revisit come 2016 is the possibility of reinstating a 8.4 percent sales tax rate. A result of the county commissioners’ multi-prong approach to stimulate the local economy, the sales tax in unincorporated Clallam County has remained at a reduced rate of 8.2 percent since July.

location in Room 208, 905 W. Ninth St. At the meeting Frank Pickering, SARC Board of Commissioners chairman, will present on the future plans and draft sustainable budget underway for SARC, as well as the number of jobs reopening the facility is estimated to provide. Additionally, Pickering will discuss the interest from Olympic Medical Center toward expanding its services via potentially leasing space within SARC. As possible partners, OMC and YMCA officials walked through SARC last week to identify the available space and discuss the different needs, Sherry Nagel, SARC vice chairman, said. “So far everything is moving forward with the school, OMC, city and county,” Nagel said. “We’re looking pretty good.” Beyond the development of community partnerships, Pickering said three things need to happen to keep all efforts moving ahead. Needed factors include the county’s approval of the capital project grant, agreement between the YMCA and SARC boards on a sustainable budget and the two boards’ ability to agree on definitive roles, such as YMCA acting as SARC’s manager.

The changes to the adopted budget within its last week of review illustrate “that no matter how late in the (budget) process, the public can have an impact by their participation,” Jones said. The adopted budget accounts for the new and ongoing expenses in the General Fund associated with a change first implemented in May that bumped employee workweeks up from 37.5-hours to 40. The budget also includes the salary and benefit expense of $1.1 million for new staff in the Assessor, Treasurer, Permit Center, IT, Prosecutor, Facilities and Washington State University Extension departments. Despite an increase in ongoing expenditures, Jones planned the budget without reliance on the automatic 1 percent increase in property tax allowed by law. Although all three county commissioners, including Mike Chapman, Jim McEntire and Bill Peach, agreed on an annual budget balanced by $3 million in reserves, Chapman expressed his concerns with the allotted spending.

Investment network develops, keeps local money local by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

A new avenue has opened to keep local money inside county lines, to support small businesses and to provide opportunities for entrepreneurs. The Clallam Opportunity Investment Network (COIN) evolved from a pilot project implemented in Sequim via a partnership between the Washington State University Clallam County Extension and the Association of Washington Cities. “Banks, traditional sources of capital and the overall lending landscape really changed after the recession about 10 plus years ago,” Andy Meyer, Association of Washington Cities special projects coordinator, said. “Based on a lot of anecdotal information and talking with elected officials around the state we were finding from a small city economic development standpoint there was a missing piece for how to help small businesses access capital and how to support the growth and retention of small businesses.” Recognizing this “missing piece” in cooperation with WSU, officials with the Association of Washington Cities spearheaded three pilot projects aimed at providing an alternative for small communities to increase economic stability through investment networks. Sequim was the largest of three cities selected to pursue a pilot project. Two of the three pilot proj-

Friday at the guild’s Christmas luncheon at Sequim’s St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, club president Jean Janis made the announcement about this year’s efforts along with another special milestone: the guild has topped the $2 million mark since the nonprofit guild’s inception in 1970. In all, the guild has raised $2,033,625, which has gone to support a number of health-related organizations across the community (see box). “It’s a great accomplishment,” Janis said. “It’s a thrill to (donate).” The thrift shop is open weekdays and two Saturdays per month. “We’re just a nice, little shop,” Janis said. “People are definitely taking advantage of it.

COIN (Clallam Opportunity Investment Network) What: Local investment network connecting local businesses and entrepreneurs with local capital and resources More info: Contact Clea Rome at the Clallam County WSU Extension, at 417-2280 or e-mail clea.rome@wsu. edu or clallamcoin@gmail.com. Like Meyer, Rome is inspired by LION, she said, and also identifies Clallam County as having the elements needed to support something similar. “We have so many entrepreneurs and small businesses here, as well as a community with some capital to invest,” she said. “I think it’s really great to take some of those local dollars and invest them in our main street.” Although small business are “key” for economic development in Clallam County, Rome said, often one of the greatest challenges for small businesses is access to capital. “It can really make or break those early years for a small business,” she said. Typically banks and alike lending sources have a certain level of loan requirements, Meyer explained, such as a minimum amount or a documented business background or track record. However, many small businesses don’t meet those requirements and that’s where something like COIN where investors are more willing to take on a different level of risk and/or make small loans can “really help,” he said. Given the traction of COIN and success of LION, Association of Washington Cities and WSU officials would like similar local investment networks to become available to small communities throughout the state, Meyer said.

Working in tandem with COIN as a member of the network is Local Dollars and Sense — a newly developed, Sequim-based investment club. Unlike COIN, which acts as a conduit for investment opportunities for investors to independently pursue, members of Local Dollars and Sense vote as a club to make investment decisions. “We’re a handful of like-minded people that have an interest in supporting main street versus Wall Street,” Gerry Christensen, Sequim resident and club co-founder, said. “COIN is an opportunity to cast a wider net and it will help us (Local Dollars and Sense) get exposure and become more aware of what’s out there.” Although Local Dollars and Sense primarily focuses its investments on local, organic and sustainable food “ecosystems” meaning everything from the production to distribution, Christensen said the club isn’t limited to that. “We prefer to invest in ‘closed ecosystems,’” he said. “The ideal company would be a company that hires locally and sells locally and is sustainable.” Already Local Dollars and Sense has made small business loans, including assisting a small grocery store in western Clallam County. “We can be more nimble and flexible than banks, but we expect to get our capital back so we can keep recycling that money locally,” Christensen said.

Northwest Bras, formerly Project Scrubs/Project Bras, has more a accessible location, an expanded inventory and post-mastectomy bra/ prosthesis fitting services along with its new name. Owners Sarah Nightingale and Evan Schroder purchased half of the business from Nightingale’s sister Racheal Alton in July and opened soon thereafter on Mill Road in Sequim. “The bra part of the of the business really took off,” Nightingale said, crediting an article in the Sequim Gazette from Oct. 1, 2014, and word of mouth. With the number of customers increasing, it made sense to dedicate her years of bra fitting skills to a separate, more intimate shop. “We’ve probably doubled our inventory. I tell people, if we don’t have your size, probably nobody has it. We have a huge, huge selection that starts with size 28-AA up to 52-O (band/cup size),” Nightingale said. “We will not put a customer in the wrong size bra to make the sale. If I don’t have it, I can get it for you.” An estimated 8 out of 10 women are wearing the wrong bra size and are doing it some 18 hours a day. A poorly fitting bra “can ruin your entire day,” Nightingale noted, causing neck and shoulder pain plus a slouching posture. She nodded knowingly, after hearing the frustration of dozens of women who venture into her shop in search for a comfortable bra. “Nobody likes to go bra shopping, you know. The hardest part for any woman is just walking through the door. They have had so many bad experiences — we all can relate to that,” Nightingale said. “It takes a lot of courage or desperation to walk through the door but you won’t regret it.” There are two bedroomsized dressing rooms, with the smaller bra sizes in one and the larger sizes in the other for privacy. Customers are welcome to try on several recommended styles with or without a knowledgeable staff member in

the room. “We have so many options and everybody here listens to what the customer is saying (about comfort). We’re sensitive to the needs of the customer,” Nightingale said. “We assist you in getting fitted with multiple choices and we become your personal stylist at that point,” she said. “And it’s not all about vanity — it’s about supporting your breast tissue. When you get the right one on it’s unbelievable. First, you notice you’re standing with your shoulders back because the bra is pulling the breast weight up and off your ribs,” Nightingale said. “When you get in a rightfitting bra, it alleviates back and neck pain because you’re not rolling your shoulders forward.” Nightingale said she especially likes correcting large breasted women’s medical issues such as under-breast rashes and yeast caused by trapped moisture by putting them in bras that raise their breasts off their rib cages.

Holding up a prosthesis weighing about 3 pounds, she explained that with a woman who’s had one breast removed, it’s important to have the prosthesis the same weight as the remaining breast so as to not cause a shifting to either side. “Breast tissue is much heavier than people think — the average women wears a 36DD and that’s 5-7 pounds.” She’s also added a line of swimming suits, classic lingerie and a large selection of maternity and nursing bras. She even has a bra that is “self-closing” with magnets in the front for women with arthritis in their hands and/ or shoulders or other physical limitations.

was emotionally touched when an older widower donated the bras of his recently deceased wife because he wanted to do something that was personal with them — something that would have meant something to her. “It’s awesome that we’re able to help people,” Nightingale said, adding that she’s given some of the donated bras to foster families. Donations still are being accepted for the project.

For comfort In addition to Nightingale, Northwest Bras has four part-time employees, all trained in fitting bras properly. She acknowledges that her bras are an investment, compared to discount store brands, but asks what price would you pay for true comfort? “Let’s make it as comfortable and enjoyable as possible — bras are the foundation of your wardrobe.” Nightingale said if you’re fidgeting and fiddling with your bra, stop in for a personalized fitting. She’s sure your body will thank you.

Post-mastectomy care

Free the Girls project flourishes

If fitting a bra with both breasts is a sensitive issue, then fitting one for a women with a single or double mastectomy is even more so. That’s why Nightingale added post-mastectomy bras and the prostheses that that go in them for a natural looking appearance. Soon Northwest Bras will be accredited in their specialized fitting and will be able to bill insurance companies, including Medicaid, for them. “Patients have had to drive to Nordstrom’s in Seattle so I’m excited to do

As a gesture of friendship, Yamasaki offered to establish a Friendship Garden in Sequim, which it funded. We were very excited about the opportunity and the city allowed us to use the area around the pond at Carrie Blake Park and the Friendship Garden became a reality. During that period we had a large Sister City Association membership and finding volunteers to help was easy. We started clearing out around the pond and began to plan out the Guest future of our garden. We knew that we could not develop Opinion a typical Japanese Garden, nor did we have any Japanese Master Gardeners Jessie Rhude to help plan it. We decided that our garden would be a blend of both cultures of East and West, just like our friendship. Our aim was to build an oasis of peace where people could stroll around and enjoy some quiet moments in their day. Money from Yamasaki appeared yearly and it allowed us to continue developing our garden. We had volunteers appear once a week to work. Many of our local service groups pitched in for the larger projects. The pavilion was built, an arched bridge was added and the entrance and exit gates were built. Many cherry and gingko trees were planted along with many flowering plants. The lantern on the island is a gift built by the owner of a Japanese gravel company from Yamasaki. It was shipped all the way to Sequim and two Japanese Master Gardeners came to supervise the proper placement. We rented a large boat crane — it was an exciting day to see it placed in the center of the pond. A memorial stone is placed at the entrance to the garden showing the names of our Japanese friends who helped fund it. The walkway around the garden was funded by a local donor and the pavilion recently has been refurbished, again with the generosity of private funds. The Sunrise Rotary Club has helped us many times with service days and continuous upkeep. Ten years ago Yamasaki became involved in a prefecture change, it is now known as Shiso City. With that change, we lost their generous annual funding. That has halted the changes we wanted to add and gardens do not weed themselves, plus our volunteers have dwindled. There are now only four loyal garden volunteers who arrive once a week to keep up the garden. We also get occasional help from the City of Sequim. In addition to the upkeep of the garden, the Sister City Association also sends our local students to Shiso City on a yearly exchange program and Shiso sends their students to us for a home stay experience. We have a loyal number of members who continue to keep this exchange going. It is a great educational experience for our students and the community benefits from the beautiful garden at the entrance to the park. If anyone reading this might have an interest in joining our association, would like to join us at the garden or perhaps donate funds to help us continue our project, please contact Jessie Rhude at 681-3818. Jessie Rhude is a Sequim resident and member of the Friendship Garden committee.

Lots already done to cleanse our air Just before Gov. Jay Inslee flew to Paris for the global climate summit, he met with Washington business leaders who sought assurances that his proposed carbon cap rule won’t wipe out goodpaying manufacturing jobs and send even more industrial production overseas. Unfortunately, the governor offered no encouragement, the Guest Association of Washington Business (AWB) Opinion reported. Instead, he Don Brunell surprised many in the room by proclaiming that “nothing” had been accomplished in Washington with regard to climate protection since the adoption of emission reduction goals in 2008. He is wrong about that! As general background, the cap rule allows state government to collect fees from utilities, manufacturers and even universities which exceed carbon emission limits set by the Department of Ecology. It drives the costs up for everyone. Energy Strategies, a Utah-based energy consulting firm, found that if Inslee gets his way, that over the next 20 years it will result in 56,000 job losses, reduce household income by $1,200 annually and families would see their energy bills increase $56 per month. Contrary to the governor, Washington Climate Collaborative, a coalition of Washington State workers, farmers and businesses advocating for reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, reports our state’s industrial sector emits 21 percent less CO2 today than it did in 1990. Industries from food processing to aviation are using new technology to reduce all greenhouse gases while allowing our state’s economy to grow and creating jobs. As a result, the Nucor Steel plant in West Seattle is now one of the cleanest and most efficient steel mills anywhere. There is a world of difference in air quality between the United States and China where many American factory jobs have migrated. For example, Beijing’s air pollution was the worst on record during the Paris summit. It was measured 25 times above what the World Health Organization considers dangerous.

On the other hand, Washington’s per capita greenhouse gas emissions are already 36 percent lower than the national average even though our state’s population grew by 500,000 from 2005-2011. Furthermore, we are now within 3 percent of meeting our state’s aggressive 2020 GHG emission’s goal and progress continues. Boeing’s goal is to maintain greenhouse gas emissions at or below 2012 levels by 2017. Before launching its new initiative, its CO2 emissions had decreased by 9 percent starting in 2007.

Going public Our state already has one of the highest rates of public transit use and carpooling anywhere. In 2013, Boeing employees alone reduced commuting trips to and from work by more than 325 million miles, roughly equivalent to more than 679 round trips to the moon. In the average month, a quarter of Boeing’s 81,000 employees in Washington use an alternative method to driving alone. The Pacific Northwest is blessed with an abundance of “greenhouse gas free” hydroelectric power. Even though roughly three-fourths of our electricity comes from our network of dams, our state’s electric sector reduced CO2 emissions by 18 percent since 1990. Wind power has helped. According to the American Wind Energy Association, our state’s wind farms save 2.4 million metric tons of carbon from being emitted yearly. Despite this progress, Inslee is pushing ahead. If he succeeds, he will remove one of our state’s key competitive advantages — low-cost energy. None of us wants China’s choking air pollution, but going overboard with a battery of new state regulations isn’t the answer. They would be harmful to everyone, especially to the poor, elderly and those on fixed incomes. It would be wise for Inslee to recognize what already has been accomplished. We can achieve more by working together and encouraging progress rather than slapping on another set restrictive government edicts. Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He retired as president of the Association of Washington Business, the state’s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver. He can be contacted at theBrunells@msn.com.

SEQ

31 companies and investor-owned utilities representing Washington’s largest emitters of pollutants. Over time, the cap for each emitter will be slowly reduced. Companies will be required to meet their first emission reduction deadline in 2020. At that time, companies or utilities that exceed their assigned cap can avoid penalties by investing in other pollution-reduction efforts in the state. Or, they may be able to comply by going out of state and purchasing carbon pollution credits in cap-andtrade markets operating in places like California or the province of Quebec. In other words, a company could avoid punishment for polluting too much in Washington by helping reduce pollution somewhere else in the world. “We have made no final decisions,” Inslee said. But the rule would reduce carbon pollution and reduce costs for

Washington businesses doing their best to meet the standards, he said. “Our air becomes cleaner any time we reduce air pollution anywhere in the world,” he said. “It doesn’t matter where coal is burned it, ends up in our water in Puget Sound and in our kids’ lungs. Perhaps not so much the particulates, but the carbon dioxide is a worldwide phenomenon. “So, when we (eliminate) a ton of coal being burned in Quebec it has an impact on improving our situation in Washington,” he said. A draft of the rule is expected to be released in the next few weeks, followed by months of review and public hearings before possible adoption in late 2016.

Served as Sequim mayor, 2010-2013 Position will be filled by appointment Sequim Gazette staff

Former Sequim Mayor Ken Hays announced his resignation from the Sequim City Council on Dec. 14. His resignation is effective immediately. Hays sent an e-mail to current Sequim Mayor Candace Pratt and City Manager Charlie Bush stating that “it has become increasingly difficult for me to meet my obligations to the city in my role as a city councilor. The demands of

my professional and family life are taking all of my time and I do not believe it is fair to continue serving the city and the HAYS community without the level of commitment expected and required of the job of a Sequim City Councilor.” Hays was elected in 2008 and served as mayor from 20102013 before being reelected in Nov. 2015 in an unopposed race. Bush said Hays’ preference was to announce the decision publicly on Dec. 15. “I want to thank all of the other councilors I have served with,” Hays wrote. “Their dedication and thoughtfulness in their service is commendable and made my tenure rewarding and worthwhile.”

City

From page A-1 expenses not including tax to the Guaranteed Maximum Price of $11.845 million. Public Works Director David Garlington said there were 15 total change orders with many of them lumped together due to project type. Of them, five were credits worth about $50,000. Some of the most expensive additional changes included overall floor plan changes ($31,296), design fees for floor plan changes ($12,573), rerouting a sewer ($23,634), HVAC revision to the server room ($22,875), Civic Center Plaza and Cedar Street redesign fees ($16,228.21), and mail room and administration work room revisions ($19,327.66). Garlington said a large portion of the additional costs came from revisions to the plaza. Its total costs came to $525,000, which includes the plaza redesign. In the center’s concept, the project came to just over $16 million but this included purchases and work dating to 2011. However, city officials said the construction budget remained the same until the change orders. Garlington said the initial contract included only a “bare bones plaza.” “If you look at all the cost of the project, design work, purchase of property, all the different things that went into it, we’re looking at coming in under budget of about $133,000,” he said. While that amount isn’t set, Garlington said going under budget is good for a project of this complexity. With its near completion, City Manager Charlie Bush said effectiveness is up, too. “Staff collaboration is light years ahead of where it was because we’re all in the same place,” he said.

He also thanked city staff and Bush and welcomed the newly elected city councilors. Pratt said Hays was an inspiration to her and she enjoyed working with him and “his perspective and experience will be greatly missed by the community.” Hays was honored for his time as mayor through the Association of Washington Cities and some of Hays’ work on the city council includes helping organize the City’s Centennial Celebration, starting the Coffee with the Mayor program, working on several committees, helping organize and design the revitalization of the Guy Cole mini-convention center, and advocating for service contracts with the Boys & Girls Clubs and other non-profits with the city. Hays’ vacant Sequim City

Council position will be filled by appointment, which expires on Dec. 31, 2017. Its salary is $250 per month and applicants must be registered voters of the City of Sequim, have a one-year continuous period of residence in the City of Sequim, and hold no other public office or employment under the city government. Interviews for the vacant position will take place at a regularly scheduled or special city council meetings in early January. These meetings are held at the Sequim Civic Center, 152 W. Cedar St. Applications are available at the Sequim Civic Center, by calling 681-3428 or online at www.sequimwa.gov. The deadline for submitting a completed application to the City Clerk’s Office is 9 a.m. Monday, Jan. 4, 2016.

What’s left?

City Roundup

Garlington said at one point Lydig had 2,200 items to finish before opening the Civic Center with some small projects — fixing a dab of paint on the wall — to some serious problems with the HVAC system. “It wasn’t entirely smooth at the end getting all the elements together,” he said. In the coming weeks, Garlington said Lydig plans to find a tougher paint for the main stairway and apply for Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design or LEED Silver Certification. There’s also a dispute between Lydig and a landowner over a utility vault’s location, but city staff said it’s not a city issue. City Attorney Craig Ritchie said the issue is mostly a question of design and the vault’s height and whether or not it is a tripping hazard or not.

• In January, city councilors will consider endorsing the Sequim School District’s proposed $54 million construction bond at the prompting of City Councilor Ted Miller. “The city overwhelmingly approved it in all six precincts by more than 61 percent,” he said. “There’s no more need to be ambivalent about it. The people have spoken.” City councilors meet next on Jan. 11. • The city will sign on as co-applicants with the Sequim Picklers for a $100,000 grant to build courts in Carrie Blake Part as a community project through the state’s supplemental 2016 state budget, said Bush. Next year, the city allocated $51,000 toward the project and Bush said if they receive the funds, it’ll be enough to build the courts. • A sale is pending on the Greathouse Motel, 740 E. Washington St., Ritchie said. A former employee of Unibank cancelled utility services on the property after taking back ownership, Ritchie said, despite city staff advising them to keep services on. So city councilors agreed to overlook $126,485 in General Facility Charges on Dec. 14 to have the business back in operation. The new tentative owner agreed to pay $20,000 in past standby, interest and penalty charges as if the business never disconnected. • City staff seeks any information regarding the totem pole in Carrie Blake Park near the duck pond by Blake Avenue and Matt Dryke Olympic memorial. Reach the city at 683-4139. • Laura Dubois and Erik Erichsen were honored for their eight years as city councilors on Dec. 14. They opted not to run for third terms and their replacements Pam Leonard-Ray and John Miller were elected in November. Erichsen was not present for his last meeting.

Project totals The city entered into a design-build contract with Lydig Construction and Integrus Architecture that protects both sides in certain circumstances. Additions like the plaza come at the city’s expense. To help pay for construction, the city turned to voters to pass a 0.1 percent public safety tax in 2012 for the police station portion. The following year, the city sold $10.4 million in municipal bonds for construction and $3 million in utility bonds in 2014 for the utility portion of the building. City staff said they’ll pay $665,000 annually in debt service on the center, which includes funds from the safety tax, Real Estate Excise Tax, utility rate revenue and other revenues. Bush said he’s heard rumors of more taxes being imposed to pay for the building, which are not true. Additionally, a state audit found the city to be in compliance with using public resources during the construction and planning process of the Civic Center.

Decades later, Joe Rantz’s legacy continues to inspire. The former Sequim resident and 1936 Olympic Games gold medal winner is the central figure of Daniel James Brown’s best seller “The Boys in the Boat,” and now Rantz — who died in 2007 at age 93 — is gaining a permanent place at Sequim High School with a plaque. Inspiration for the plaque, says Sequim resident Mary Jane Duncan, came from Frank Catelli, a University of Washington track and field athlete and 2012 Sequim High grad. Catelli noted that hearing Rantz’s story could be the source of inspiration for other young athletes and that spurred a local effort to have a memorial created, Duncan said. Sequim High School principal Shawn Langston said the plaque does not have a set home on school grounds yet.

Above, Judy Willman looks through a 1930s-era Sequim High School yearbook with Mary Jane Duncan and SHS librarian Linsay Rapelje. At left, with a plaque honoring Joe Rantz, is (from left), Duncan, Willman’s daughter Jennifer Huffman, Willman and SHS principal Shawn Langston.

No services will be held for Sequim resident J. Kathleen “Kit” Steward who died on December 1, 2015 in Sequim, Washington. Ms. Stewart was born March 19, 1938 in Seattle, Washington to Dorothy I. (Hodges) and John Wm. Alexander Ritchie. Ms. Stewart married first, Harry F. “Bo” McKee on November 10, 1960 in Seattle, Washington. They lived at 22 different addresses in Alaska, Hawaii and Washington in the first 12 years of marriage, then divorced. She married second, Charles George Stewart on December 23, 1976 in Juneau Alaska. He died while building their retirement home in Hyder, Alaska August 13, 1995. Ms. Stewart attended University of Washington; studied Accounting at University of Hawaii, Manoa; received a Bachelors of Arts, History from University of Alaska, Juneau; and a Master of Arts in Teaching from Alaska Pacific University, Anchorage. When she found out she was too short to be either a U.S. Marine or stewardess, she found her first job as a bookkeeping machine operator for Peoples National Bank. Later she operated an early IBM system for the VA Hospital in Seattle before moving to Juneau, Alaska to work for the Forest Service and Bureau of Public Roads. In 1963 she became an Accountant for the State of Alaska and, with the exception of two years in Tacoma while her first husband went to Chef School and four years in Hawaii where she worked for Duty Free Shoppers, Ltd. , she maintained that profession through being Chief Finance Officer for the Alaska Deparment of Environmental Conservation all during the Alaska Pipeline construction. After the pipeline was finished, Ms. Stewart took early retirement, went to work at the University of Alaska, Juneau Library while gaining her BA Magna Cum Laude, and MAT, then had a second career as an adult educator. In 1990 she and her second husband retired and started RVing. In 1992 they drove an International Travelall from Juneau to Boston to Newfoundland and then back across the top of Canada following the most northerly roads, even if they were not on the map. In 1993 they drove from the most westerly drivable point in the Western Hemisphere (Anchor Point, Alaska) to the most northerly point (north dock, Prudhoe Bay, Alaska) which included an armed guard in their Travelall while on the oil field. By 1995 they had started building a summer home in Hyder, Alaska when Mr. Stewart died suddenly of natural causes. Ms. Stewart couldn’t face shoveling snow by herself, so she moved to Sequim where she remained - whenever she was not traveling. Ms. Stewart was a very active volunteer most of her life. She started as a VA Hospital volunteer in 1957; became scorekeeper for CYO league and Babe Ruth league baseball and ANB/ANS, Bill Ray, Tides, Juneau Adult City League and Lions Club Gold Medal Tournament basketball scorekeeper; Neighborhood Youth Corps Supervisor; ALMA resource; Gastineau Channel Genealogical Society; held many offices in NSDAR; Literacy tutor at the Alaska State Prison, Juneau; Friends of the Library; Community Ed. Council; helped start the Glacier Sams Visitor Information Center in Juneau; was awarded Juneau adult volunteer of the year 1991, worked Bingo for the Sequim Valley Lions Club, gave workshops for Clallam County Genealogical Society, and for several years was active in International Footprint Association and VFW ladies Auxiliary. Her hobbies were cats, jigsaw puzzles, Robbie Knievel jumps, books, genealogy and traveling. Since she moved to Sequim Ms. Stewart has spent at least a quarter of her time elsewhere, including designing her own trips and traveleing alone to Samarkand Angkor Wat, Vladivostok, Manchu Picchu, Ggantija Gozo, Zambia, Dubai, Turkey, Signapore, Bangkok, Egypt, Stromboli, Crete, the Antartica, and most of Europe. She has been in every state, territory and province of Canada and the United States as well as a good part of Mexico; frequently drove to Las Vegas or Alaska; and one year left Sequim on Labor Day, drove to Orlando, Florida and returned at Halloween. Ms. Stewart is survived by her niece Lisa Ritchie and nephew John S. Ritchie of Walla Walla, Washington; stepson Bryan G. Stewart of Redondo Beach, California; nieces; nephews; their children; and literally thousands of 1st to 7th cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, brothers John D. Ritchie and Bruce Ritchie, and cats Silky, Amanda, King, Hillary, Foxy and Charlie among others. Memorial contributions may be made to VFW, Lions, or the library or genealogical society of your choice.

His eyes

From page A-1 However, prior to the loss of his vision and for more than 40 years he captured some of the most naturally beautiful sights any eyes could see. He spent a lifetime documenting timeless images of the area’s local beauty for countless minds to get a glimpse into what his eyes once saw. Differing from digital, Hamilton perfected the craft of photography using 4x5 and 35mm film cameras, instilling in him the importance of being selective and mindful of each photograph. “At the top of my game it took me about a half hour to take a picture,” he said. The many hours he spent watching the light of day twist and turn, waiting for an opportunity to photograph something maybe worthy of the landscape’s beauty, equate to many days spent in the Olympic Mountains, Pacific Northwest coastlines and all the spaces in between. “It’s taken me 40 years to get to know this place … it’s depth and diversity,” he said.

Inspiration Hamilton’s intrinsic love for the outdoors, solitude and wilderness began as a child. Although his father was born in Sequim, Hamilton grew up in Burbank, Calif., until he was 26 years old. Growing up among thousands of people, in a sprawling area primarily covered in concrete, he developed a “deep hunger for quiet places and wilderness,” he said. Hamilton attributes his early appreciation and passion for the outdoors to his parents, who placed a lot of value on being outside and in nature during their family trips, as well as supporting

him through Boy Scouts. Also, he can trace his first exposure to photography back to his parents. “When I was 9, they gave me a black and white camera and I remember I found it to be an easy tool to use, or should I say toy to play with,” he said. Throughout his childhood Hamilton’s interest in photography developed and always seemed to revolve around scenery and landscape photography. During this developing love affair with the craft of photography, he grew to prefer large format. If his interest in photography ever wavered, the summer of 1966 confirmed Hamilton’s passion while working with renown photographer Ansel Adams at Adams’studio in Yosemite. “That’s where my education really took off,” he said. “I was exposed to his (Adams’) world and I’ve never looked back.” With pure confidence, Hamilton easily admits “that was the happiest summer of my life.” By the 1970s, Hamilton had purchased the equip-

ment needed to seriously pursue photography, however, recognizing most successful photographers also were wise businessmen, he studied business. After earning his master’s degree at the University of California – Los Angeles, he headed north, leaving behind the dense cityscape. Hamilton can vividly picture the first time he saw the Olympic Mountains. “I came over the top of the hill in Shelton and saw those mountains and said ‘Yes, this is where I belong,’” he said. From then on, the Olympic Peninsula with its snowcapped mountain peaks, sparse alpine forests, densely covered temperate rain forests and meandering river valleys, to wind-beaten coastlines, became Hamilton’s alphabet, his language — his most raw form of communication. “I don’t do photography for myself, but I want to share the story I’ve enjoyed with others and photography is the closet I’ve gotten to being able to do that,” he said. “It’s my form of communication

preciate and love people and their beauty,” he said. When asked whether he misses being able to see the vast, outstretched landscapes that were once the canvas of his art, Hamilton uses the word “grief” as perhaps the best way to describe his inability to see once more all the familiar places where he found the most beauty and peace. Although the loss of his vision limited his ability to work out in the field, let alone spend day after day in the backcountry, it also led him to shift his attention toward a book and for the past 12 years he’s drawn from his collection to create calendars. With the help of a friend and sales representative Sandy Frankfurth, a dozen of Hamilton’s timeless photographs are handpicked each year. The process takes about three months, he said. “We try to be sensitive to the season and to give a nice variety of subject matters,” Frankfurth said. The recently released 2016 calendar includes some of Hamilton’s unseen images, including one of Lake Margaret nested deep within the Elwha Valley and the picturesque, yet no longer Lake Aldwell. All the images used for the calendar are accompanied by an inspirational or thought provoking quote, as well as local tips and seasonal suggestions. The image for October is joined by a quote from an unknown source, but simply states, “Where a beautiful soul has traveled, beautiful memories remain forever” — much like those eternally captured in Hamilton’s mind’s eye.

From boat pictures to trains to local landmarks like the lighthouse, there’s a little bit of everything for fans of the SequimDungeness Valley to peruse in author Katherine Vollenweider’s new book. Last week, she released “SequimVOLLENWEIDER Dungeness Valley (Images of America)” from Arcadia Publishing revealing never-before-seen photos and

Since her time as director of the Sequim Museum & Arts, she’s considered compiling a cohesive photographic timeline of the area and figured using materials she wrote in Sequim would be enough. But she wasn’t 100 percent certain some of the source material was accurate. “When I started to put things down I wasn’t sure the sources I was

From page B-1 using were fact-checked,” Vollenweider said. “I started to do a little poking around and realized I had to start all over.” A planned three-month project ballooned into more than a year and hundreds of hours searching microfiche, online digital newspapers and other archives through the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, University of Washington, Puget Sound Maritime Historical Society and the Sequim Museum & Arts. Her goal was to use primary source documents from the time period, such as a telegraph from the 1850s that reveals some details about the New Dungeness settlement at the time. While “Sequim-Dungeness Valley” is a heavily visual book, Vollenweider said she tried to include as much information as possible about topics centered around the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, the creation of Dungeness and New Dungeness – Old Town and how the area became agriculture-focused. Vollenweider stopped her book’s timeline around 1930, she said, because of the wealth of information available already on the area after that period. She also wanted to avoid duplicating photos

Joseph Keeler installed telephone lines and put the switchboard in his Washington Street house. By the 1910s, customers had one number for local calls and another for calls outside the network. In later years, Keeler forged agreements with existing companies in Port Angeles. Electrical lines were on the south (left) side of the street, as shown in this photograph, which looks west down Washington Street past the intersection of Sequim Avenue.

that people have seen or used before. While she was limited somewhat by going as far back as the photos did, some of the photos were hard to timestamp. However, she received a lot of help identifying people and places from museum executive director Judy Stipe and tribal employees who asked family and locals for help. To put the historical Sequim-Dungeness Valley in perspective, Vollenweider includes in some of the photo

captions where it correlates with today’s geography. But one geographic phrase that befuddles her is calling the area a valley. “The term ‘Sequim – Dungeness Valley’ puzzles me, as there is no northern counterpart to the Olympic Mountains that rise to the south and no peaks en route west to Port Angeles,” she wrote in her introduction. “The Dungeness River empties a watershed of over 170,000 acres and drops at a 3.3 percent grade, but the up-

per river reaches are not the ‘valley’ as used colloquially.” She suggests calling the area a prairie might be more accurate “albeit offering a much different image than that of a pastoral valley with gentle, grazing cows.” Vollenweider tried to discover the valley’s origins but believes it may have been worded in the 1960s. Valleys and prairies aside, and despite her vast knowledge and love of the SequimDungeness Valley, Vollenweider no longer lives in Sequim

as she works in the maritime industry as an environmental technician working on oil spill response. At one point, she had difficulty trying to send a proof of her book from 1,500 miles offshore of Mexico on different expedition. She worked as the Sequim Museum’s registrar from 2003-2006 and its director from 2006-2010 and continues to donate her time doing research here. For more information on her book’s availability, call the museum at 683-8110.

Boeing before branching off to corporate training, which led to starting Lyfe Enhancement Co. “I thought, I’ve got so many experiences and talents, why don’t I teach them?” Macdonald said. “So my background led me to become a counselor and a therapist … In a nutshell I help people understand they are bigger than their obstacles and then supply the skills and tools to help them get there.” That’s the gist of his book “Lighting Your Own Fuse: A Glossary of Mission, Vision, and Passion” too. He uses it for training and pulls from his acting and work experiences, inspiring moments from films and more. Some of his topics include creating your own happiness, working with change and using effective communication. Macdonald said he’s had plenty of life defining moments from meditating with a monk above the Monestaire de Montserrat in Spain to having his middle finger torn off on the Alaskan Pipeline. While his major acting moments are mostly tucked away in a portfolio or framed on his home’s walls, Macdonald says he thanks one actor everyday for his words.

said Macdonald, who played a principal extra in “Graffiti.” During filming a scene that appears before Duvall’s well-known “I love the smell of napalm in the morning …” speech, Macdonald said the actors had ashes in their eyes and the burning smell of tires choking them so tempers were becoming short. “We must’ve filmed the scene 32 times and we couldn’t get what Coppola was trying to do,” Macdonald said. He stood in line behind stunt coordinator Terry Leonard and said in a loud voice, “What’s Coppola trying to get that what we haven’t already given?”

A loud voice spoke up behind him. “Kid, let me tell you something,” Duvall said. “There was an Indian lying in the road just like this and a cowboy rode up next to him and asked what are you doing. He said “stagecoach, four horses, two brown, two speckled, three riders, two passengers, one driver.” The cowboy said, “You can tell all that from listening on the ground?” “No, it just ran me over two hours ago.” Macdonald said everyone began to chuckle but he became sweaty. “So kid, let me tell you something,” Duvall continued. “There are two kinds of

Macdonald captured plenty of candid moments on film with a number of the cast and crew including Coppola, Duvall and Martin Sheen with son Charlie. He did the same on the set of “American Graffiti” but the five film rolls didn’t develop due to an accident. In “Apocalypse Now,” he speaks twice and a short 10day gig turned into almost a month stay in the Philippines due to the erratic

He continues to audition for acting gigs once a month while continuing to appear mostly in TV commercials. “I have a great admiration for people in plays who can make you laugh and cry and make you feel their character,” he said. He’ll continue to lead seminars across the nation but he seeks speaking and training opportunities in the area, too. But for now, Macdonald is going to enjoy the Sequim area and Christmas with a plate of cookies, glass of milk and the stage.

On the set of “Apocalypse Now,” Macdonald recalls Robert Duvall, playing Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore, bringing him back to Earth while in the chow line. “I got chosen by (director Francis Ford Coppola) because he took a few of us from “American Graffiti” because he he liked our attitudes,”

nature of the shoot. He recalls during the USO party scene a helicopter on the stage beginning to take off unexpectedly because its guerrilla soldiers — the production was using their chopper — were leaving to go fight in a real battle. “(Coppola) thought it was going to be a cake walk after “The Godfather” but he had no idea of the quagmire he’d go through to recreate the Vietnam War,” Macdonald said. The film faced multiple issues including illnesses, weather, budget constraints and much more but Macdonald didn’t capture much of the disarray. However, his photos and account of the filming were printed in The Seattle Times as a feature for the re-release of the movie.

people, those who have their faces to the ground listening for what’s coming up constantly reading their own scripts and other people’s scripts. And then there are those on the ground with their mouths open choking on life’s dust.” “It was like everyone backed away from me,” Macdonald said. “It was a real chastisement. I could’ve folded up and gone into a hole. But I glued my butt to his shadow for the month I was there. I just waited for his nod. He was basically saying, sit here and listen and become a better actor. I thank him everyday for that chastisement.”

Four games on tap before winter break Sequim Gazette staff

Despite a second half surge, the Lady Wolves (1-2) couldn’t make a major comeback in their first of two games last week. In Bremerton (1-2), Sequim fell behind by 15 at the end of the Sequim’s Adrienne Haggerty, left, goes up for two of her six points in the Wolves’ first half on Dec. 8.

Young SHS squad falls to Riders in first meet Wolves get four second-place finishes vs. rivals Sequim Gazette staff

Home pool advantage? Not exactly. Sequim’s first meet of the season saw the young “host” Wolves fall to Port Angeles in Port Angeles, 123-34, on Dec. 10. Despite a significant participant disadvantage — Roughriders outnumbered Sequim’s Wolves two to one — the Wolves managed four second-place swims. Senior SHS captain Wendall LORENZEN Lorenzen placed second in the 200 individual medley, Mathew Craig was second in diving and t he Wolve s’ 200 medley and CRAIG 200 free relay teams each placed second. “I was impressed by our newest and youngest team members that competed today, as well as some of the veteran swimmers and divers,” Sequim coach Linda Moats said. “They (Port Angeles) continue to have a strong team, while we have a small and young team. Nonetheless, we were able to score a few points and place in the middle of the pack a few times.”

Four Wolves medal at ‘Battle’ Best SHS finish at Blaine tourney Double-dual meet, Hammerhead up next by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

The Wolves keep climbing the ranks in major tournaments. In their latest effort, Sequim took ninth at Blaine’s Battle at the Border on Dec. 11-12 with 115.5 points. It’s the highest the Wolves have placed at the tourney since they started attending it in the 20082009 season, Sequim coach Charles Drabek said. “I felt like the kids hard work in the practice room is starting to pay off as I saw moves we’ve been drilling showing up in there matches,” Drabek said.

notebook

Michael Dashiell I imagine some of you have been patiently awaiting my college football bowl predictions. If that’s true, I truly apologize — particularly for skipping the entire 20142015 bowl slate. I took a season off for the simple reason that I didn’t follow college ball as much, letting pro football, fantasy football and the Hot Stove League take over my brain last winter. Hopefully this time around I’ll do better than my predictions from two seasons ago when I went a meager 18-17 and lost eight of my last 10 picks before salvaging an above-.500 record by taking Florida State in the championship. Anyhow, here’s Part I of a quick, three-part guide to the upcoming college football bowls, along with my picks. This year we get 42 bowls to choose from — that’s up from 35 two seasons ago — and we get everything from the sure-to-be-crazy BattleFrog Fiesta Bowl to the dress-in-your-best for the Military Bowl, from the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl to the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl. I’m not making these up. I swear.

Home environs didn’t help Sequim in a matchup with the Olympic League leaders. Klahowya swept two regularformat games and one of two Bakerformat games in a 6-1 win against the Wolves at Port Angeles’ Laurel Lanes on Dec. 10. Dakota Henderson led Sequim with a two-game series of 318, including a 177-pin first game that was tops among both teams. Kaleigh

Against Olympic, Henderson posted a team-high 376-pin series — 181 in the first game and 196 in the second — but the Trojans proved too deep in a 7-0 sweep. Sequim got a 251-pin series from Porter Funston and 200-pin series from Quinn Danielson in defeat. Two days later, Sequim won the first game with 612 pins but saw

North Mason edge them in the second game and two Baker-format games in a 5-2 Bulldog win. Henderson led Sequim once again with a 286-pin series (149137) with Stauss second (237-pin series) and Thais De’ Moura third (213). Sequim was slated to take on North Mason on Dec. 15 before winter break. The Wolves are back in action at Klahowya on Jan. 5.

Jack Shea led Sequim with 14 points and seven rebounds, Jackson Oliver had 10 points and five rebounds, and Payton Glasser added eight points. While the Wolves struggled from the field, shooting 17-of46 (37 percent), Bremerton shot a healthy 29-of-55 (52.7 percent). “We need to play more consistent and play harder,” Greg Glasser said. A day later, Sequim got 24 points from Jackson — 12 in a key third quarter spurt — as the Wolves edged Neah Bay 65-60. Down 11-7 after one quarter and 28-26 at half, Sequim outscored the Red Devils 22-15 in the third quarter and held on for the non-league victory. “He (Oliver) can score in bunches because of his athleticism,” Greg Glasser said. “We saw the same defense the night before against Bremerton. It was kind of nice for our guys see that (and) figure it out.” Payton Glasser added 13 points, Nick Faunce scored 11 and Riley Cowan chipped in seven points. Ryan Moss led Neah Bay with 18 points and Rweha Munjagi had 17. “I’m really impressed with what I’m seeing from (freshmen) Riley (Cowan) and Nate (Despain),” Greg Glasser said. “Nate is handling the responsibilities of controlling the ball and doing a pretty good job of that.

Coming up Following Sequim’s Dec. 14 game at Port Townsend, the Wolves host Kingston on Dec. 16 and Olympic on Dec. 18.

The Wolves are back in action Jan. 5 with a home game against North Mason.

Moats and the Wolves held a mini meet with their own squad a week prior, helping them compare improvement with their first meet. Sequim’s Christian Goodrich took two seconds off his best backstroke GOODRICH time from last year and bettered his 200 free time by three seconds from last week’s mark. “He spent a good amount of time conditioning over the summer and I see that it’s paying off,” Moats said of Goodrich. David Calderon dropped a half second of his best time from last week in the 50 free. He helped both relay teams finish with at least eight-second improvements compared to last week’s efforts. Alex Barikoff swam a 27.96 for the freestyle leg of Sequim’s 200 medley relay, a personal best by two seconds. Moats said Liam Payne showed impressive finishes in the first Wolves meet, posting a 1:10.82 finish in the 100 free and a sevensecond improvement in the 100 breaststroke. “He has so much potential in swimming,” Moats said. “We’ve been working on the technical aspects of his stroke and it seems to be working.” Sequim’s Brendon Jack, a newcomer to diving, didn’t receive official marks after diving junior varsity against Port Angeles, but Moats said his dives were articulated well. “I expect he’ll be diving varsity in no time,” she said. Sequim travels to take on Olympic (Silverdale) on Dec. 17. The Wolves take off for winter break before returning to action Jan. 7, taking on Kingston and North Kitsap in Poulsbo. Sequim rounds out the regular season Jan. 14 at Klahowya and a home meet Jan. 28 against in Bremerton.

Sequim’s Hayden Gresli also competed in the bracket going 2-2 with two pins.

He lost WARD to the No. 1 seed Riley Fritsch of Blaine by pin, who went on to take the bracket, and he lost in the consolation by Adrian Avena of Todd Beamer, the No. 3 seed.

Wagner said the circumstances were similar for the Wolves in that they didn’t seem ready to play from the get-go. However, leading up to the games, Wagner said, it’s early enough in the season that they continue to see what plays work and don’t. So far, she said their best offense is a base motion offense let-

ting the girls play off each others’ athleticism. One thing in the girls’ favor is familiarity as most of the girls are juniors and seniors and have been playing together for a while, Wagner said.

Monday, Dec. 21 Miami Beach Bowl (Miami, Fla.) The matchup: Western Kentucky vs. South Florida Time, channel: 11:30 a.m., ESPN The skinny: South Florida’s Bulls (8-4) seem to have home field advantage, but Western Kentucky (11-2) is the C-USA champ with nine wins in 10 games. The Hilltoppers love to throw, as evidenced by QB Brandon Doughty’s 4,594 (!) passing yards. The “road” team wins here. My pick: Western Kentucky, 45-35

Tuesday, Dec. 22 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (Boise, Idaho) The matchup: Akron vs. Utah State Time, channel: 12:30 p.m., ESPN The skinny: I saw Utah State (6-6) play this season, against UW. Ick. Akron State (7-5) has a great mascot name (the Zips). That being said — well, written — USU’s Aggies are battle-tested with their schedule

Wednesday, Dec. 23 San Diego County CU Poinsettia Bowl (San Diego, Calif.) The matchup: Boise State vs. Northern Illinois Time, channel: 1:30 p.m., ESPN The skinny: Boise State’s Broncos (8-4) have had a wild season, from blowing out Hawaii and Colorado State to losing heartbreakers to New Mexico and Air Force. Northern Illinois’ QB Drew Hare is out and they haven’t looked good since he went down in early November. My pick: Boise State, 31-13 GoDaddy Bowl (Mobile, Ala.) The matchup: Georgia Southern vs. Bowling Green Time, channel: 5 p.m., ESPN The skinny: I’ve always liked Bowling Green. No idea why. The MAC champion Falcons (10-3) are favored against Georgia Southern (8-4) after the Eagles racked up a bunch of wins against really awful foes. My pick: Bowling Green, 41-20

Thursday, Dec. 24 Popeyes Bahamas Bowl (Nassau, Bahamas) The matchup: Middle Tennessee vs. Western Michigan Time, channel: 9 a.m., ESPN The skinny: Middle Tennessee’s Blue Raiders and Western Michigan’s Broncos are both 7-5. They both have had a few tests in their schedule (Middle Tennessee with Alabama, Western Michigan with then No. 1 Ohio State), and they both are likely to never set foot in the Bahamas again. Just guessing. My pick: Western Michigan 28, Middle Tennessee 27 Hawai’i Bowl (Honolulu, Hawaii) The matchup: San Diego State vs. Cincinnati Time, channel: 5 p.m., ESPN The skinny: Cincinnati (7-5) can score. A lot. Their defense gives up. A lot. San Diego State is 10-3 and riding a nine-game win streak. Go Aztecs.

name (Tanner Mangum). I like the Cougars to win here. My pick: BYU, 24-21 Raycom Media Camellia Bowl (Montgomery, Ala.) The matchup: Ohio vs. Appalachian State Time, channel: 2:30 p.m., ESPN The skinny: I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for FCS powerhouse Appalachian State (10-2) after they topped Michigan in 2007, one of the more improbable upsets in college football history. Now a Division I school, they take on Ohio’s Bobcats (8-4) in their first Division I bowl game. I like that motivation and that they’ve only lost twice this season — to bowl-eligible Arkansas State and top-ranked Clemson. My pick: Appalachian State, 26-20 AutoNation Cure Bowl (Orlando, Fla.) The matchup: San Jose State vs. Georgia State Time, channel: 4 p.m., CBSSN The skinny: San Jose State comes in with a 5-7 record and has to travel across the country to face a Georgia State team (6-6) on a four-game roll. But Spartan running back Tyler Ervin runs like a madman, racking up 300 yards in a game this season. Spartans overcome the odds. My pick: San Jose State, 45-27 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl (New Orleans, La.) The matchup: Arkansas State vs. Louisiana Tech Time, channel: 6 p.m., ESPN The skinny: Louisiana Tech (8-4) beat a bunch of teams this year that have no business going to a bowl and played bowl-eligible teams close. Sun Belt champ Arkansas State (9-3) did the same … only they got whupped by their biggest challengers, USC (55-6) and Toledo (37-7). “Home” team wins here. My pick: Louisiana Tech, 41-14

while Akron has taken on the likes of Kent, Buffalo and Miami … of Ohio. My pick: Utah State, 28-21 Marmot Boca Raton Bowl (Boca Raton, Fla.) The matchup: Toledo vs. (24) Temple Time, channel: 4 p.m., ESPN The skinny: The American Conference champion Temple Owls (103) lost to three bowl-worthy teams this year while Toledo (9-2) won their first nine games and lost to two bowl teams (Northern Illinois, Western Michigan) each by five points. This may be one of the better underthe-radar games of the season. The Rockets’ coach won’t be at the game after taking the Iowa State job and the distraction might be just enough to tip the scales to Temple. My pick: Temple, 31-30

Anything But Reindeer Games

GREYWOLF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL On Dec. 7-8, Kimberly Knudson, secondgrade teacher, introduced the worldwide event of an Hour of Code. An Hour of Code teaches kids how to program computer games just like professional game-designers. It allows students to make games, create apps and learn how the building blocks used in coding are really computer commands. We are excited this year to use the Minecraft interface. There is one that was especially created based on the new Star Wars movie. Our three fifth-grade classes have been enrolled, as well as Ms. Knudson’s second-grade class. The students will be able to continue their projects after the Hour of Code initial event is completed through TeacherShare, a shared research management tool that the district employs. Students will be provided with a link so they can access their work from home. They each will receive certificates for participation in this project. A coding club for fifth-grade students will begin after winter break.

HELEN HALLER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Stephanie Grotzke Nash’s kindergarteners have been learning about reindeer. The class focused on reading and writing nonfiction/ informational books over the past two weeks. Their efforts culminated into a reindeer report that shares their knowledge of nonfiction text features. Each report included headers, labels, captions, maps, illustrations and a glossary to help readers better understand reindeers. Afterward, students embellished their reports with reindeer antlers and feet.

• The more actively involved and interested a father was in his children’s care and education, the more intellectually developed his children were. • When fathers were supportive, their children had fewer problems at school such as poor attendance or failing exams. • For children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), supportive fathers had a stronger positive influence on their adjustment to school than mothers. • Adults whose fathers were highly involved when they were children were more tolerant and understanding and engaged in more socially responsible behavior than those with less involved fathers. These are just some of the ways fathers really make a difference. A study done at Harvard’s Business School of women enrolled in the program found that the one key factor for almost all of the women was the influence of their fathers. Hey Dad! You are really important. Don’t screw up. Your children need you.

how to get on well with their brothers, sisters and peers. These children behaved less aggressively. • Children whose fathers expected them to handle responsibilities, such as carrying scissors, crossing the street or taking a bath alone, scored higher in tests of thinking skills. Learning to accomplish tasks at this age was important and fathers’ involvement was crucial. • Fathers were an important help in developing a sense of industry or a belief the child can accomplish a goal or master a skill. This is the basis for the child’s self-esteem. One reason that fathers have such an influential role at this time was because they tend to challenge their children to try new experiences and to become more independent. Challenged children have more opportunity to develop problem-solving skills. • Fathers usually had a positive influence on their children’s sense of industry, competence and responsibility. • The influence fathers had on their children’s intellectual development isn’t limited to helping with school work. Fathers had a positive influence on their children’s thinking skills by participating in social activities and sports as well. Children, both male and female, whose fathers encouraged them in sport and fitness activities were more successful in school and in their careers later in life.
