Commissioners consider ending tax holiday Members seek collaboration before decision by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette
Clallam County has received about $98,000 less in monthly sales tax revenue since July when the board of county commissioners opted to lower the county’s
optional sales tax rate within the unincorporated county from 8.4 percent to 8.2. The commissioners originally agreed on the countywide tax holiday last April as an approach to stimulate the local economy, but the new year could bring the holiday

Parks and trails supporter wins vacant seat on city council Smith elected mayor, Miller deputy mayor by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette
Contributor Rich Taylor caught this image of the Angiuli Barn on Sequim-Dungeness Way recently. “I shot it at sunrise and it was about 22 degrees outside,” Taylor writes. “I … drove past it the first time just wanting to go to the park and walk. I decided that it was worth turning around to get this shot. A week before, it was a pouring down rain which formed the huge puddle in the foreground, which made for a great reflection from the beautiful sky. The ground was so white it looked like snow but (it) was frost from the cold weather. I’m just glad that I didn’t pass this one up.”
The City of Sequim ushered in the new year with some changes in leadership. On Jan. 4, two newly elected city councilors — Pamela Leonard-Ray and John Miller — were sworn into office, SMITH Dennis Smith was elected unanimously as mayor and four candidates vied for the vacant seat left by Ken Hays. Cit y councilors interviewed the canLAKE didates on Monday night and appointed Bob Lake, a financial planner and former risk management consultant, to fill

Out with the old, in with the new
Recycling service reflects peak of shopping season by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette
The transition from one year to the next often is recognized as a busy time, but one local business owner has a unique perspective on the bustling of the holiday season and what it brings. Dan Tharp owns and operates Ecycle Northwest, an electronic waste recycling service located just east of Sequim. “We were going to close on Black Friday, but we ended up opening the gate and worked Saturday, too, because of Black Friday,” Tharp said. Since the 1930s, throughout the country the day after Thanksgiving
increasingly has developed as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. Most major retailers and occasionally some small businesses are open during all hours of the night, offering a variety of promotional sales that ring in multi-billion dollars in sales nationwide. “It’s crazy, but it’s that desire to want,” Tharp said. Beginning on Black Friday and the days following, Tharp and longtime employee Cory Maley see many electronics come in to be recycled as people replace the old with the new. “I’ve already pulled a nice Pioneer surround sound system and set it aside,” Maley said. “We’re also seeing a lot of working flat screens.” Though the amount of electronics coming to Ecycle Northwest is not able during t he

Fair seeks royalty applicants
Tooth Truth
with Richard (Bud) Davies, DDS Family Dentist
SOUL PURPOSE COMPANIONS
Deep down, many of us have a soul purpose, a reason for being, a direction in life or a journey. This journey is seldom solo. We have companions who accompany us and help us along the way. And we appreciate their contributions. One of my companions is not a person but is my teeth. Teeth help me with my smile and they help me with my nourishment. I could survive and continue my soul purpose without teeth but with much less enjoyment in life. Today’s dentistry is now well equipped to help you maintain, repair, improve and enhance that most valued of companions in your life. If your teeth need help we have the World of Dentistry ready to help you.
Clallam County fair royalty applications are now available. Fair royalty participate in community parades and community events as ambassadors for the Clallam County Fair. The Fair Royalty Court will participate at the Aug. 18-21 fair. Applications are open to students in grades 9-12 with a grade-point average of 2.6

Glacial resources is next topic at SEF Science Café Sequim Gazette staff
As a National Park Service physical scientist based at Olympic National Park, Bill Baccus works as a field scientist for the North Coast and Cascades Network operating a network of climate stations within the park to study winter snow pack, glaciers, mountain lakes and study coastal ecosystems. Baccus is the guest speaker for the next Science Café, presented by the Sequim Education Foundation, set for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 12, at the Paradise Restaurant, 703 N. Sequim Ave. Baccus’ talk introduces the glacial resources at Olympic National Park and
he discusses the methods used in the inventory of the park’s glaciers. Those methods include using high-resolution aerial photos and high precision GPS to calculate surface area and changes in glacier ice thickness. He and his staff have repliBACCUS cated (reshot) historical photos, providing a visual record of changes over the past century. Baccus, who just finished his 30th year of field study in the park, also is co-author of a recent publication in the Journal of Glaciology entitled, “Glacier status and
contribution to streamflow in the Olympic Mountains, Washington, USA.” The Science Café is a community service of the Sequim Education Foundation. Programs present expert speakers for adult and young adult audiences interested in current developments in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Science Café events are held on the second Tuesday of the month at the Paradise Restaurant. Admission is free and food and beverages are available for purchase.

Notice of Utility Rate Changes for Commercial Sewer Customers
The meetings are held at the Civic Center located at 152 W. Cedar Street.
The Sequim City Council has adopted 2016 Utility Rate Structure changes which will affect commercial sewer customers beginning January 1, 2016. These changes are an effort to more equitably balance the cost of the utilities with those customers who utilize most of the service and resource. Beginning January 1, 2016, commercial sewer customer base rates will be based on the size of the water meter associated with the property, instead of the current minimal base rate which is roughly equivalent to a Single Family Residence base rate. The following table illustrates the change in base rates for 2016.

No Coffee with the Mayor in January Coffee with the Mayor is expected to resume in February. Please stay tuned for the location and schedule.
The significant increase for the larger size meters reflects the additional capacity for sewer flow and expense to the utility, which have been absorbed by smaller users in the past. Another change is the elimination of the per unit charge for customers with multiple units on one meter. These accounts will now only be charged one base rate determined by the meter size which may result in a significant decrease in expense. Please call the Public Works Department at 683-4908 if you have questions regarding any impact to your sewer utility bill.
VOLUNTEER CORNER Meet Al Miller Al was looking for someplace where he could interact with people in a relaxed atmosphere. When he heard about the need for help in the lobby of the new Civic Center to direct people to their needed services he thought, “Yeah, I can do that!”
Road Clearance for Winter Storms Winter has arrived and that means the possibility of winter storms. Citizens are reminded that during heavy snows, the City crew concentrates on clearing the main arterials first. Washington Street, Sequim Avenue, 5th Avenue, 3rd Avenue, overpasses and school routes (when schools are in session) are the top priorities. In the event of a snow storm, the City asks the community to help by clearing snow from the sidewalks that adjoin their homes and businesses.
Help the City Prevent Flooding Winter storms can also bring heavy rains. The City requests that all citizens that are able, assist in keeping drains and catch basins free of debris and leaves. During the stormy winter months, City crews can get spread thin. Your assistance in keeping the street clean is vital to our ability to respond to extreme precipitation and to prevent flooding.
We appreciate your help!

Other City facilities available for rental include the covered picnic area at Carrie Blake Park, the Transit Center for meetings and classes; the James Center for the Performing Arts and the Interpretive Center at the Water Reuse Site north of Carrie Blake Park; the Council Chambers, Community Room and outdoor plaza at the Civic Center; and Centennial Place on the corner of Washington Street and Sequim Avenue. Visit the City’s website, www.sequimwa.gov, to obtain the Application for Facility Rental.
WATER SAVING TIP OF THE MONTH In the Bathroom — CHECK FOR TOILET LEAKS. Once a year, check for toilet leaks. Remove the toilet tank cover and drip 10 drops of food coloring into the tank. After 15 minutes, check for color in the toilet bowl. If you see any color, your toilet has a leak and should be repaired immediately. Again, remember to check your flapper periodically to make sure it’s a tight fit.
Volunteer Concierge Al Miller.
“I enjoy helping the folks that come into the Civic Center to meet with City employees, as well as those that pop in to see the building and enjoy the art in the lobby,” Al said. “I have met a lot of nice people in recent months!” Al has volunteered in a number of different capacities since he retired 10 years ago. He sees his job as a concierge as a way to make visiting the Civic Center as smooth as possible by taking the mystery out of where to find things (including the restrooms) and to help lighten the day of those he meets. He views his volunteer efforts as beneficial to the City and its residents, but also to himself. “Selfish as it may be, there is a sense of satisfaction reaching out to one’s neighbor to be of help,” Al said.

Three Dimensional Art Exhibit at Civic Center
Join us Friday, January 8 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. forthe opening of the Three Dimensional Art Exhibit at the Civic Center, 152 W. Cedar Street. The exhibit is presented by the City Arts Advisory Commission and includes 19 pieces in a wide variety of mediums.
Toilet Paper Only Please! The Public Works Department is asking all residents to help keep the wastewater system clear and functioning properly by flushing only body waste and toilet paper down the toilet. Popular bathroom wipes or premoistened towelettes, often advertised as flushable, are creating clogs and back-ups in sewer systems around the nation. The wipes will flush down the toilet, but they don’t break down through the system. This can result in clogged pipes and pumps, which can be expensive to replace. Other items that should not be flushed include paper towels, baby wipes, feminine hygiene products, house-hold wipes, cosmetic pads, dental floss, condoms, and medical materials.
Reporting Excessive Jet Noise
Please contact the Navy directly by email at comments. NASWI@ navy.mil or call (360) 257-6665 to address concerns, complaints, or questions regarding noise from Navy jets over the Sequim area.

From page A-1 the seventh seat on the council. Lake won the position over Brandon Janisse, a retail manager and former city council candidate; Roger Wiseman, an insurance manager; and Wendall Lorenzen, a Sequim High School senior. Prior to Sequim, Lake lived in Christchurch, New Zealand, from 2009W. LORENZEN 2014 and formed a company to help businesses leverage technology for operations management, which evolved into helping locals with earthquake recovery more directly. He also worked as a loss control manager and cost control specialist for insurance companies through his career. His term runs through Dec. 31, 2017, following Hays’ resignation in December, who was reelected in November but resigned citing work and family obligations. Lake said in the interview he doesn’t have an interest in politics but serving on the city council seemed “like a logical extension” after volunteering for the Peninsula Trails Coalition, Red Cross and city’s Parks and Recreation Board. The idea came to him to run after receiving an e-mail alert, he said. Some of the issues Sequim faces, Lake said, are emergency preparedness and how the city balances development and resources from the city’s tax base while serving the Greater-Sequim area. On future development, he said he’d want the city to continue to grow in a comfortable way and that integration into the county (Urban Growth Area) will be increasingly more important. Lake was chosen 4-2 with Dennis Smith, Ted Miller, Pratt and Genaveve Starr voting for him over Janisse. Ted Miller also nominated Wiseman. Wiseman said he feels city councilors chose a good councilman but he’s unsure if he’ll run for city council in the

mayor. Smith was appointed to the city council on Oct. 8, 2012, elected to office the following year and as deputy mayor in 2014. Former Mayor Candace Pratt said she opted not to run again for mayor and she nominated Smith. Smith said he’s really looking forward to being mayor. “In the last 1-1½ years, I’ve learned a lot from Candace,” he said. “She had a lot of challenges she had to deal with like the construction of the Civic Center.” On upcoming issues, Smith said they all take money and the council will be challenged to prioritize. “Thankfully, we have a great staff who haven’t steered us wrong yet.” Ted Miller was voted in 6-1 with John Miller opposed as deputy mayor. Miller was elected to city council in 2009 and served as deputy mayor from 2012-2013. Lake, Ted Miller, Smith T.

He might consider an opening in the planning commission though, he said. Janisse, who sought a council seat for the second time in November, said he’s not overly thrilled someone can walk onto the council and not campaign. He said not being selected was disheartening but he’ll consider his political options later. Susan Lorenzen, Wendall’s mother and a former city councilor, lost her election bid against new council member John Miller in November but opted not to try for the vacant seat. She said Wendall considered running before but he missed the August 2015 primary registration date to turn 18 by 13 days. However, when this opportunity came up he wanted to run and she didn’t want to interfere with that, she said. Council members offered Wendall Lorenzen a new position as the student representative to the council, which he accepted.

“There will be a point when we need to take a position and I still accept that responsibility, but making an informed decision — that’s what I look forward to,” Peach said. Jones echoed the commissioners, noting he missed the collaborative approach the county used to have. “We’ve had some autocratic, top-down leadership for the past couple of years, that while it works great in times of crisis, in the longterm it isn’t a good idea,” he said. “I’ve always personally believed that the best decisions are the ones made closest to where the work is being done as opposed to up on high … that’s been a management philosophy of mine for over 35 years.” Before taking action on Tuesday, the commissioners hope to gain input and insight from their leadership team, including department heads and elected officials. To do so, the commissioners scheduled an afternoon work session Monday, Jan. 11.

Follow along as Melissa Williams, executive director of the Feiro Marine Life Center, attempts to live plastic-free for the month of January, to highlight the impact of marine debris on marine life and the ocean, and to offer some ways to use plastic more responsibly and thoughtfully. From this week’s blog “This no-plastic challenge was quite a … well, challenge.” . . . “I was more diligent about saving some of the containers from other items that I thought I could reuse, like a plastic I liter milk container, glass peanut butter jars, and a quart yogurt tub, instead of recycling them.” . . . “It helped a lot that the staff at Country Aire were excited and interested in this experiment. They are making it easier to go plastic-free!”

When a patient calls a new medical practice specializing in women’s health care, one person makes the appointment, takes vital signs, listens to the chief complaint and prescribes treatment. At Rain Shadow Integrative Medicine, Dr. Carolyn DeSalvo believes less is more. “I’m a micro-practice so it’s very personal and I’ll call back with lab results, too. It’s kind of old-fashioned in a way. Traditional medicine does a great job with acute illnesses but in the management of chronic illnesses, it does less of a good job.” Integrative medicine focuses therapy more on the mind/body/spirit triad when compared to traditional medicine, she said, noting practitioners also look deeply into how a patient’s lifestyle and nutrition contribute to or detract from her health. DeSalvo earned her medical degree in obstetrics/gynecology from the University of Kansas, completed her residency at the University of Texas, returned to Kansas in private practice and became interested in integrative medicine while working at a college in women’s health. She completed a fellowship in the field a year ago at the University of Arizona. This past June, she and her husband, Frank DeSalvo, moved to Sequim from Kansas, after his retirement. Rain Shadow Integrative Medicine opened in early November and is accepting new patients. “Integrative medicine looks at the mind, body and spirit and tries to form a partnership between the patient and provider to work toward optimal health, not just the absence of disease,” DeSalvo said. “I spend a long time with my patients, usually an hour initially, to get their nutritional, medical, family and stress management histories. I want to get to the root of the problem. In traditional medicine, I had no nutrition courses but integrative medicine sees food as medicine — what’s put in our bodies is so important.” Along with their positive properties, some foods, unknown to the patient, can cause systemic inflammatory responses, too, so DeSalvo guides the patient away from those foods and toward others that act as natural antiinflammatory agents. Consultations take place over tea and talk in a cozy room with soothing grey walls. She also has an exam room for

Rain Shadow Integrative Medicine
Who: Carolyn N. DeSalvo, MD Where: 346 N. Sequim Ave., Sequim Phone: 360-504-3243 Website: www.rainshadowintegrativemedicine.com Hours: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Wednesday, 12-8 p.m. Thursday medical evaluations. A major focus is on changes in diet and exercise. “I do talk about supplements but I think we should get most of our supplements from our diet. I always like adding food to a diet rather than adding another pill,” DeSalvo said. “Integrative medicine helps people take personal responsibility — it’s more of a partnership of making goals which I think is missing in traditional medicine. I can go either way on (ordering) labs. I’m willing to do it but it’s really expensive.” For example, if someone came in with chronic gastrointestinal complaints, instead of doing a lot of tests initially, DeSalvo would tend to prescribe probiotics and a diet high in fiber, fruits and vegetables. She also emphasizes increasing Omega-3 fats and decreasing Omega-6 fats by eating plants, such as avocados, and fish. Also key to stasis in the body is maintaining an even blood sugar, she said, rather than having wild glucose swings after eating by switching
from processed to non-processed flour in carbohydrates. DeSalvo explained that processed flour is absorbed quickly, leading to a glucose spike. For example, instead of the ubiquitous breakfast sandwich at the drivethru, make one at home without the muffin and sausage, but with an egg, pile of spinach and cheese. Or whip up a smoothie with fruits and vegetables. DeSalvo also is a licensed gynecologist in Washington and said she really enjoys taking care of peri-menopausal and menopausal women with symptoms and polycystic ovarian syndrome, which she called a common hormone problem. “I’m very excited to get to know people and I think I’m fairly unique here,” DeSalvo said. “I really want to hear people’s stories and have them get out of the experience what they want to get out of it. I want to keep my patient roster small but I’m definitely accepting new patients. It’s a challenge but I think with some help people can make changes for a big difference.” DeSalvo said she does not contract with insurance companies but will provide a super-bill with a diagnosis code and charges for the patient to file — she is considered an out-of-network provider.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR See school conditions, then vote
This letter is to citizens who have previously either voted “no” on the school bond or haven’t voted either way. There still may be some readers who haven’t decided how they feel about spending money on public schools. I volunteer in two different kindergarten classrooms which happen to be in a portable at Greywolf Elementary. When I am there I observe competent, hard-working teachers and about 40 beautiful, wiggly 5- and 6-year-old children. I marvel at how lucky these children are that they live in this country where both boys and girls can happily participate in our most valuable “right.” Parents have the responsibility to see that their children arrive rested and as free from stress as they can be so that they are prepared to learn to read, write and think critically. These children are our future taxpayers who will be our small business owners, doctors, truck drivers, lawyers and teachers. In this country we have a tacit agreement among citizens: Each generation provides vital education for the generations to follow. It’s really a selfish thing to do, plan for retirement by educating the next generation so they can take care of us by paying taxes. Our children and grandchildren will have the same obligations as we do, pay taxes to fund public schools, roads, bridges and Social Security. That’s how a successful democracy survives. I certainly don’t speak for anyone in the Sequim School District, but I do have a suggestion to all voters. Call any one of our schools and arrange a visit while the kids are there. Observe for yourself, ask questions and talk to staff and students. Before you participate in your voting right as a citizen, be informed and take your responsibility seriously. Your future depends on it. Linda Benson Sequim
Dogs run amok on trail
It is unfortunate that a few owners of “off leash” dogs have no control of their dogs. They are ruining the “Dike Trail” for the rest of us. The owners of the property have been so generous to allow us to walk their property. Neil W. Burkhardt, Jane Stewart Sequim
Bond would fix Haller’s crowded chaos
I have taught my entire 20-year career at Helen Haller Elementary and would like you to know what it is like to work in a facility that we have outgrown. So, take your home that you are living in now, maybe it is a two-bedroom, six-room home, very comfortable for your small family of a mom, dad and two kids, a 45-pound lab and some fish in a fish tank. Comfortable, nice, even peaceful, because everyone has their own place to retreat to when necessary. Now to your nice, modest home add a stray cat or two, and of course another dog that doesn’t always get along with the other animals, add also two more children, both with special needs; they will live in the converted den. Along with your growing family an uncle also comes to live with you and you convert the garage into a room for him. You and your wife also decide to homeschool your kids and to save money your company sells their office building and now everyone telecommutes, so your home is now your office. You have outgrown your once comfortable home and everything has now become chaotic, stressful and challenging. If you are still reading, you may just be getting a clearer picture of what cramming 615 kids into a school designed for 400 is like. I invite you to come look around and see that as a community we can do better and vote yes in February! Dave Hasenpflug Sequim
SARC board failed to understand business The continuing saga at SARC should serve as a reminder of the need to be better informed when voting. SARC needed board members who knew how to operate a business. It also needed board members who knew how to manage a business, i.e., make enough money to pay the bills. Instead of selecting people based on their ability to conduct the business of operating and/or managing SARC, we ended up voting for disparate group of anonymous names on a ballot. One assumes that everyone who runs for SARC board positions has the same primary interest in operating SARC, keeping the facility open and paying the bills — that they could put personal philosophies and interest aside and work together for the greater good. Instead, we have a dysfunctional board that has proven to be unable to work together, incapable of managing the facility and now cannot agree on the how to proceed in reopening. The board members apparently recognized their inability to manage and have now reached out to the YMCA come up with a business plan to reopen and run the facility. We have not seen the YMCA’s proposal or any contracts that would be required. What we do know is that the YMCA has reached out to various parties to form a coalition that is interested in reopening SARC and is preparing a viable business plan. Commissioner (Jan) Richardson has said that he will vote against any proposal presented by the YMCA (Letters to the Editor, Sequim Gazette, Dec. 23 page A-8), apparently based partly on the premise that the YMCA may get a valuable facility rent free. A closed SARC has no value to the community other than salvage. SARC was built by the taxpayers to provide recreation facilities, not salvage. The SARC board could not operate and maintain the facility rent free and it is unreasonable to think that any other entity could. If SARC retains the obligation to maintain the facility, it certainly needs income to do so. However, if the YMCA agrees to operate and maintain the facility, Commissioner Richardson should put his arguments to bed, get on board to act in the public’s interest and get SARC reopened.

Column karma I hadn’t thought too much — really not at all — about column karma until a “No Trespassing” sign was posted in our neighborhood. Those of you who read and remember my columns will know why I might think of the laws of karma when the sign appeared. The rest of you, probably most if not all of you, which by the way I don’t mind — I am honored that anyone reads my column and thrilled when Think someone c om About It ... ments, whether they liked it or not. Bertha Cooper Pathetic, isn’t it. Anyway, back to the point of the laws of karma explained in Hinduism and Buddhism as “the sum of a person’s actions in this and previous states of existence (that decides) their fate in future existences.” In other words, we can’t really get away with anything. If we do in one life, we will surely pay for it in another. Taking it one hopeful step further, we can redeem negative karma by a positive act in this or a future life that demonstrates we can be rehabilitated. In doing so we will relieve the karmic obligation. Apparently column karma was on fast forward when the “No Trespassing” sign was posted little more than two months after my column “Signs of our time” appeared in the Gazette allowing very little time for rehabilitation. More on the reason for the sign in a bit.
Karma rehabilitation In the column, I more or less — maybe more — complained about the growing presence of signs forbidding entry on private roads and beach lots including tidelands along Jamestown Road. Trespassers were threatened with at best a bad photo and at worst prosecution. I contrasted my neighborhood as a friendly neighborhood that welcomed people with dogs on leashes and dedicated walkers like me. The column brought one sympathetic response among several not so much. One reader took the time to contact the Gazette editor with a request to talk with me; his comment was I was a bit “harsh.” I gladly returned his call to get another perspective. The reader told me he thought I was “hard” on the neighborhood. He acknowledged being of the age to remember having free rein in vacant lots just like I nostalgically recalled in my childhood. But, he went on saying times have changed. He doesn’t live in the Jamestown neighborhood but does live in a neighborhood beach front area west of Sequim that had to resort to signs prohibiting entry. The reader described activities that spilled from public lands onto private land that begin to turn the beach front neighborhood into the place to be for midnight parties and drug dealing. There weren’t enough police to surveil and keep the peace and the property owners were advised to post signs and cameras. I understood the sad necessity and sensed the kind patience of the reader. I had hoped to meet him and view his signs and neighborhood with him as part of my rehabilitation. Commitments had not yet allowed me that pleasure when the “No Trespassing” sign appeared in my walker-friendly neighborhood. Turns out that the sign was in response
to a neighborhood dispute over a different kind of invasion.
150-foot ‘mono-pine’ monolith The sign appeared on an alley-like road that led to the road that wound down to Jamestown Road. I and a walker friend routinely took the road to avoid walking on Sequim-Dungeness Way. Long ago I asked permission to trespass which was approved with expressions of welcome to anyone who chose the path. At first I was confused about what must have been a mistake and then I became worried since it seemed out of character for this neighbor. One day I saw the homeowner in her yard and asked her about the sign and using the path. The owner tearfully relayed the story of being “harassed” by nearby neighbors because she was leasing part of her property for the placement of a radio tower. I knew about the radio tower and that it had been approved last summer. Then in what seemed a very short few weeks, cell phone companies were requesting to use the radio tower for cell phone reception. If approved, the 100-foot radio tower would become a 150-foot “mono-pine,” the term used to describe the disguise intended to integrate the tower in the scenery. The immediate neighborhood began to mobilize in opposition to placing such a tower in a residential area. They cited numerous concerns, among them a decline in property values and potential health problems from longterm exposure. (Anyone interested in the comments can go the DCD website under hearings, Jan. 27, Mono-Pine.) The owner explained she wanted the income to preserve the forested area of her property and adjacent land for homes for her family. I imagined a kind of small family compound. She said the sign went up when one or two neighbors attempted to dissuade her in what she felt were unfair and hurtful allegations about her intent. I am not taking a position on the cell tower in this column except my sad conclusion that there will be more longterm effects from the division than we will ever experience from the cell tower. My walker-friendly, happy, congenial neighborhood is damaged, perhaps to the extent that it may take generations to recover regardless of the outcome of the “monopine” hearing. Monoliths of technology surround people in urban cities all over the world. Rural areas are being populated with growing numbers of people who rely on other electronic emitters such as cell phones, computers and microwave ovens. What do we do? Give it all up? Make it someone else’s problem, someone with less power to protest? Insist that technology advance research of methods that don’t threaten longterm health? Maybe we will learn the answers in a future life or many future lives since some of us are slow learners. I fully expect to return as a bird with electric blue wings nesting in a mono-pine. Meanwhile, there is hope for my happy neighborhood, ribbons of blue and pink have appeared on the “No Trespassing” that seems to soften the message, a bit like a tentative friendly wave. Bertha D.

Overcrowding compromises learning
My name is Tami Wall and I have been a Sequim School district teacher for 25 years. My current position is that of Academic Specialist where I teach 400 students per week/20 classes. Because there are no more classrooms available at Haller, I am gratefully using the Boys & Girls Club library each day. The travel time for each class to get to my off-campus classroom averages seven to 10 minutes each way which cuts down on teaching/learning time for all. Kindergarteners through fifth-graders must walk in the wind and rain in puddles and around cars through the Haller and Boys & Girls Club parking lots. I have to depend on my cell phone for communication with Haller. Each day I must set up and take down my classroom, which takes valuable time away from planning and preparing lessons. We have completely outgrown Helen Haller that was built to house 300-400 students. We currently have 615 students. I also work in the Title I math department which is located at the opposite end of the campus. This old portable (25 years old), which is one of 13 portable classrooms, shares space with the preschool speech and language program. Come in to see six adults working with groups of students throughout the day who all have to whisper as to not interfere with each other’s instruction. I have devoted my teaching career to this school and the children in it. These conditions are completely unacceptable. Please go on a school tour to see what students, faculty and volunteers must endure on a daily basis. Please register to vote and vote yes to approve our bond so we can build a school that will hold our students and staff. Tami Wall Sequim

Sequim needs modern schools!
My husband and I are retired in Sequim. After years of employer-chosen cities to live in, we chose Sequim to come home to Western Washington. I have taught in the public schools in Seattle and elsewhere. The state of the facilities in the Sequim schools is simply unacceptable. To be an attractive community for young people to settle here and find work, we must step up as one community and pass this proposed bond in February. It is critical that every segment of the population support it because it will impact who comes here for services we all need, including medical, and it eventually will impact property values if Sequim is seen as undesirable because of the schools. We are retired, but we support this bond for the good of the entire community! Pam and Roger Wiseman Sequim

Support this school bond
I wholeheartedly support the Sequim School District bond proposal on the Feb. 9 ballot. I choose to live here with my family because Sequim is a great community. And great communities support great schools. Did you know that the Sequim School District currently ranks 266th out of 295 school districts in the state in total expenditures per pupil (total expenditures = General + Capital Projects + Debt Service + Transportation Vehicle Funds)? Quality schools should be a source of pride in our community. 266th is abysmal. Our children and our community deserve better. In the past two elections, a majority of voters have said yes to better schools in Sequim. In the November 2015 election, the school bond missed reaching the state-required 60 percent supermajority by a mere 54 votes. Your vote matters. Don’t let the minority determine the direction of our schools Thanks for positivity and the vitality of this community. Please vote yes on Feb. 9. I personally appreciate the Dec. 30, 2015, edition (of the Dave Shreffler Sequim Gazette) which features several animal-centric Sequim articles. Moreover, these stories hopefully will encourage more to care about and for our fellow creatures on this earth Enrich lives by being a senior volunteer that have no voice but do have a right to live naturally and Want to add more sunshine to your life?

Recently there was a discussion on the Facebook page for Sequim. It was discussing the passing of the school bond. I noticed that the opposition believed that since they did not have children (or grandchildren) in the school system here, the bond was of no benefit to them. It is amazing to me that people do not understand the benefits to them. For example, my husband takes care of many residents at a rehab/nursing care center, probably 75 percent of the staff there has children or grandchildren. It is not the only facility like that in the area and if all of them decided to move their families to a better school district, who would staff these services from laundry, to feeding, to therapy, should you find yourself or a loved one in a center like this someday? How about doctors, nurses, police officers, firefighters, EMTs and many other professionals looking to come here for open positions, they look at schools for their own children … over-crowded schools with crumbling buildings? Cross Sequim of the list. Not to mention the often overlooked but very necessary positions. The people who sell you groceries, build your homes, repair your sinks and toilets, fix the roads, that list goes on and on. All of them could have kids or grandkids in the area. If they just go away, who is going to be left to provide these services you use? I have lived my entire life in this little town. I love it here and refuse to give up on it. I attended Helen Haller, Sequim Middle School (when it was at the community school) and Sequim High School. I watched the schools “make do with what we have” 20 years ago … and they have done a phenomenal job with that! However, the time has come when what we have has been stretched too far. It is time to get this done! Vote yes! Kelli Phipps Sequim

They’ll get their increase, though. This is the third time, so the bus drivers get laid off, measure passed. I wanted to point out how anyone objecting to any tax is immediately attacked, and viciously, which is why no one says anything, and to point out some of the very familiar tactics. I’ve been belittled by the bully, and now by his protector. Lady, No. 1, you’re wrong. I’m not thin-skinned. I’m not upset by the insults, I wanted to show that they would come. 2) The list was clearly mean and insulting, yet you say it’s just funny. How interesting. So, who’s up next? For crying out loud guys, now some fool (remember the tar and feather party?) says we are unfair to not have a state income tax, (now 13.5 percent in California) did you see any letters against that? That reminds me though, I need a new stove, if I have to spend more than $300 I go to Oregon, so I’ll make a booze run as well. Anybody need anything? Chris Pedersen Sequim

From page A-8
Alana Linderoth’s holiday article entitled, “A Thoughtful Turkey Day” (Sequim Gazette, Dec. 23, page B-1) and an earlier piece, “My First Time Owning a Cow” (Sequim Gazette, June 28, page B-1), are not beliefs shared by those who choose to eat non-animal foods that support life rather than death. The core of both articles is that she and her partner have no qualms about eating animals provided they know where they were raised and were “humanely” slaughtered. Humane slaughter is inherently inhumane for it takes the lives of sentient beings that have the same will to live as we do. It is self-serving justification that their steer as well as their turkeys were raised as “humane meat.” Free range and factory farm animals meet the same fate and are killed in the same manner. The holiday article confirms the ease one can kill by slowly cornering and netting the individual turkey, then grabbing and holding it upside down, locking its legs while his throat is swiftly slit “without a struggle” as it bleeds out. The procedure is similar to a human captive being beheaded. It, too, is swift and begins with a sharp knife to the throat “with no struggle” as there is no escape. It is easy to deny the helplessness, fear and terror when you’re not the victim. A photograph shows the turkey carcass that was a living animal “beautifully marked with metallic feathers” that has now been reduced to a centerpiece to “deepen the holiday experience” filled with laughs and joyous memories. We too had wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners with friends and joyous memories without an animal corpse as a centerpiece but a Tofurkey with all the traditional trimmings. Afterward we visited our rescued turkeys and heard their anticipated chirps for extra holiday treats. None were sacrificed for a mouthful of flesh as we no longer need to kill to feed ourselves and be healthy. Ralph Turner Sequim

Recycling
Consultant and salvage jobs have ranged from dealing with damaged high rise buildings to sunken dry docks. “I just started here driving truck, but it’s been interesting enough to keep me around,” Maley said. Despite the perks of working in the recycling industry such as, at times the shock factor or the fact that Maley has never purchased a computer given all the fully functional computers sent for recycling, Tharp and Maley don’t necessarily like all the stuff that comes to Ecycle Northwest. Instead, they could be considered somewhat “old school,” Tharp explained, in that they both prefer to listen to music on older audio systems simply because “it sounds better” and neither watch a lot of television nor care much for their cell phones. Reflecting on the overall cultural focus on electronics and knowing the fast consumer turnover, Tharp admits, “There’s a value in turning off the electronics once in awhile and getting to know your neighbor.” For more information about Ecycle Northwest, visit ecyclenw. com or call 912-3634.
From page A-1
holidays, Tharp and Maley handle a consistent flow of goods throughout the year. Tharp estimates they get about a dozen flat screens per week. “And that’s only a small percent of what’s out here,” he said. Before allocating electronics for recycling, Tharp and Maley test them to see if they work. If so, they can sell them to resellers.
A ‘first-hand’ take on recyclables, garbage Tharp moved to the peninsula 15 years ago on his motorcycle and it didn’t take long before he saw a need for something like Ecycle Northwest, which he founded in 2007. Tharp spent much of his career building the infrastructure needed for recycling and deposing of material, he said. He helped construct landfills and transfer stations. The Regional Transfer Station in Port Angeles was the last station Tharp helped build. Having first-hand experience working in and around transfer stations and landfills gave him insight into the amount of garbage and recyclables produced. “It doesn’t make sense how we handle our things when we’re done with them,” he said, noting a distinct memory he has of watching dozens of new televisions get dumped into the landfill because of the transition to flat screens. “I do this because I think this should be happening in every community,” Tharp said. “The average person doesn’t seem to have an awareness of their stuff when they’re done using it.” Throughout the years, Ecycle Northwest has continued to evolve and diversify. Tharp also takes in scrap metal, appliances and bales plastic and cardboard. Multiple times per week Tharp and Maley truck large quantities of recyclables off the Olympic
Inside the fence of Ecycle Northwest, piles of plastic and cardboard await to be baled and recycled. Sequim Gazette photos by Alana Linderoth
“Even of the dourest days, there’s Peninsula, equating to about two semi-truck loads per month, something I have stashed away that Tharp said. The majority of scrap I can pull out and try to figure out metal and some electronics are how it works,” he said. Maley shares Tharp’s sense of cutaken to a recycling center in Tacoma and electronics with screens larger than 4-inches are taken to a state designated processor. “We try hard to keep things local,” Tharp said. Despite the amount of recyclables distributed through Ecycle Northwest, the volume needed to make recycling economically viable isn’t here given labor costs and the “terrible” commodity prices right now, Tharp said. To help offset the costs associated with recycling, Tharp devotes about half his time toward consulting for large salvage and insurance companies on how to recycle and properly dispose of material. “About 40 percent of my job is figuring out what to do with stuff,” he said. The “curious kid” in Tharp also keeps him in the recycling industry.
riosity and together they live for the “shock and the ring of the phone,” Tharp said. “You never know what it might be or what someone has,” he said.
An old intensive care system originally from Madigan General Hospital recently was brought to Ecycle Northwest and acts as an example of some of the more “interesting” things company owner Dan Tharp sees.

I knew I needed Cover art by Marina Shipova more,” Cox said. “Half way through the series, I decided this book needed a sword.” When devoted fan Cox called Peake to tell him about the swords he planned to produce, Peake openly admits he was “absolutely floored.” “As good as I am at describing things, that is kind of an indescribable feeling,” he said. “I’ve gotten a lot

“The Sympathizer” by Viet Thanh Nguyen In “The Sympathizer,” Viet Thanh Nguyen “fills a void in the literature, giving voice to the previously voiceless while compelling the rest of us to look at the events of 40 years ago in a new light,” writes Philip Caputo. Nguyen, born in Vietnam and raised in the U.S., deploys sharp humor to describe the life of a Vietnamese spy in the U.S. after the fall of Saigon. Caputo compares Nguyen’s skill to that of Conrad, Greene and le Carré.
Chigozie Obioma’s debut novel tells the story of four young brothers living in the small Nigerian town of Akure in the mid-1990s. F i a m m ett a Rocco writes, “ W h e n their father is transfer re d t o another town, leavi n g t heir mother in charge not only of the four boys and their baby sister but of a food stall in the local market, the boys do what boys everywhere do when they realize they’re not supervised: They begin to play truant.” Variously described as mythological, folkloric, allegorical and biblical in style, this writer is drawing comparisons to Chinua Achebe for his mastery.

Sequim artist Karen Rozbicki Stringer also was selected for the show. More than 270 artists from 70 Washington cities submitted nearly 800 artworks for consideration. Of these, just 132 pieces were selected for inclusion in the show. “Attendees and collectors will find a museum-quality show of work ranging in size from large sculptures, paintings and fiber art pieces to small prints, photos and jewelry; ranging in style from exquisite traditional work to provocative contemporary works and deeply personal expressions,” said exhibition coordinator Alan Newberg. It’s Marsh’s first time having a piece accepted to this statewide show, she said. Submitted photos

Despite injuries and Christmas vacation limiting Sequim’s numbers, some Wolves came up big during the Battle for the Axe tournament in Port Angeles on Jan. 2. Kevyn Ward, wrestling at 160 pounds, won all five of his matches with four pins and a 15-6 major decision over Caleb Joslin of Port Angeles. Washington Wrestling Report’s online rankings say Ward is ranked eighth among 2A wrestlers and his teammate, WARD Michael Latimer, 220 pounds, also is ranked eighth despite a recent injury keeping him out of last weekend’s tournament. Both Craig Baker (138) and Grant Pierson (145) went 4-1 on the day with Baker taking four pins and losing his lone match 4-3 to Morgan Mower of PA. Pierson pinned three wrestlers on the day. Despite these wrestlers’ victories, Sequim could only fill eight of 14 weight classes and finished last in the tournaments, losing 5711 to PA, 34-30 to North Mason, 64-30 to Oak Harbor, 57-17 to Jackson and 58-30 to Hoquiam. Port Angeles won the tournament going 5-0 with 250 points followed by Jackson going 4-1 with 222 points. The same day, the Lady Wolves traveled to the Elma Invitational with more big finishes. Abby Hansted finished first at 155 pounds
Peninsula’s Pirates dug themselves quite a hole Sunday afternoon against the Grays Harbor College Chukars. They nearly completed an epic comeback but saw a second-half surge fall short in an 81-80 loss at Grays Harbor on Jan. 3. Deonte Dixon scored 25 points and Ryley Callaghan added 16 for Peninsula. Grays Harbor, behind the 18 points of Bryce Demecilio, built a 48-31 lead DIXON by halftime, holding PC to 36 percent shooting. The Pirates found their shooting touch in the second half, however, hitting 19-of-35 (54 percent) after halftime and out-scoring the Chukars 49-33. Grays Harbor had the advantage in controlling the ball, forcing 17 Pirate turnovers to their own six. PC had only one assist in the contest. Peninsula’s Malik Mayeux added 12 points while he and Dixon led the team with seven rebounds apiece. The Pirates (7-6) start conference play today, Jan. 6, at Pierce (4-9) and are at No. 7-ranked Edmonds (10-2) on Jan. 9. Peninsula opens its home conference schedule Jan. 13 against No. 4 Whatcom (13-3).
Peninsula falls to topranked Lane in final Sequim Gazette staff Sequim High’s Grant Pierson wrestles North Mason’s Eugene Macero and comes out on top with a pin in 3:04.
followed by Kiara Pierson taking second at 115, Alma Mendoza second at 140 and Aylee Bennett third at 135. Both Mendoza and Pierson are ranked by Washington Wrestling Report, too, with Mendoza third at 140 pounds MENDOZA and Pierson at fourth at 115.
More wins in North Mason Adrian Klarich earned a second-place finish at 182 pounds after winning two of three matches at the North Mason Classic Boys Varsity Tournament on Dec. 30. In the quarterfinals, Klarich pinned Stadium’s Isaac Corral in the first round (1:26). In the semis, he earned a 6-2 win over Just Baldwin of Aberdeen. In the 182-pound final, Olympia’s Patrick Flannery edged Klarich 6-3 for the title. At 220 pounds, Michael Latimer placed second. After receiving a pair of byes, Latimer
pinned Olympic’s Adrian Miranda in 4:33, then was pinned by Tumwater’s Brin Hanson with five seconds left in the second round. At 138 pounds, Craig Baker won three of four matches to take third/fourth place. Baker pinned Tenino’s Coulson Chambers in 5:22 in the opening round, then picked up a technical fall victory (15-0) against Edmund Taylor of Bremerton. In the semifinal, Jahrett Schiemer of North Mason edged Baker 6-0, sending the Sequim grappler to the consolation bracket where Baker pinned North Mason’s Colton Peterson in 27 seconds. At 132 pounds, Ben Newell shrugged off a first-round loss to go 2-2. He edged Gig Harbor’s Ben Martin 8-7 and pinned Bodie Wharton of Aberdeen in 3:04 before falling in the consolation semifinal to Tumwater’s Mason Burbidge, 5-0.
For two games, Peninsula looked like the team that ran away with the NWAC title in 2014-2015. Then they ran into the Lane Titans. Peninsula’s Pirates (9-4) took two of three at their own Peninsula Crossover tourney, held Dec. 17-19 in Port Angeles, falling only to the top-ranked Lane squad from Eugene, Ore. In the tourney opener, Peninsula’s defense held South Puget Sound to just 24 percent shooting in a 64-45 victory. Cierra Moss scored 15 points, Imani Smith had 11 points and three steals, and Zhara Laster grabbed 13 of the team’s 57 rebounds in the victory. A day later, the Pirates jumped to a 3220 lead by halftime and went on to top Big Bend’s Vikings, 60-47. Moss and Smith led a balanced attack with 11 points each. Laster had nine points, 11 rebounds and five steals, Alicia Dugan and Tai Thomas

Olympic Peninsula Salmon Derby tickets on sale now Annual competition slated for Feb. 19-21 Sequim Gazette staff
Tickets are now on sale for the 2016 Olympic Peninsula Salmon Derby. This year the annual event runs Feb. 19-21 instead of the traditional slot on Presidents Day weekend. All tickets will be sold in advance, with ticket sales ending on Wednesday, Feb. 17; no tickets will be sold at weigh stations during the derby. What hasn’t changed is the scope of the derby — with 500 square miles of fishing, five weigh stations,
a $10,000 first prize and great $500 Mystery Fish prizes. The event, formerly the Discovery Bay Salmon Derby, is hosted by the Gardiner Salmon Derby Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation that supports area emergency and other services. Each year, derby proceeds have been used to fund local emergency response and other support services for Gardiner, Diamond Point, Blyn and nearby communities. The 2016 derby proceeds will be used for similar purposes. This winter the blackmouth classic also is part of the Northwest Marine Trade Association’s Northwest Salmon Derby Series.
Barry Wood, president of Gardiner Salmon Derby Association, said he is upbeat about the 2016 event. “What could be better than spending a weekend in February enjoying fishing on the Olympic Peninsula?” Wood asked. “As always, we will be awarding lots of great prizes.” Tickets — $40 for one day — already are available and may be purchased at many area merchants. Tickets also may be purchased online for $42.50 through www. GardinerSalmonDerby.org. See the website for information about ticket sale locations, online ticket sales and other details — including the no-cost tickets available for
Wounded Warriors, thanks to local in earlier years — and the ceremony donations. includes a cash prize raffle. A free barbecue starts at noon preceding Derby details the awards ceremony.

Teachers Garrett, Green get national board certifications Sequim district now has 25 on staff with status Sequim Gazette staff
In seeking to help their students earn high marks, two more Sequim teachers earned high marks themselves. Shannon Green, Greywolf Elementary third-grade teacher, and Marcia Garrett, Sequim Middle School sixthand eighth-grade science teacher, both recently earned National Board Certification status. That gives the Sequim School District 25 teachers on staff with national board certification status, an advanced credential created by teachers that is considered the profession’s mark for accomplished teaching. To date, more than 110,000 teachers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia have achieved National Board Certification. Like other board candidates, Green and Garrett completed a series of assessments that are reviewed by other teachers. Among other submittals, they created portfolio entries that feature teaching practices — including video recordings and samples of student work — and submitted those portfolios last March. The submissions were then reviewed and candidates got results from the National Board this fall. “After teaching for seven years, I realized that I wanted to advance the quality of my teaching and student learning,” Green said. “I am dedicated to this profession and my students. I know that the most important part of my job is having a meaningful impact on my students, by engaging students in purposeful learning experiences tied to their unique needs and interests. National Boards has helped me grow stronger in leadership and col-

laboration with my community and district.” Garrett received her national board certification in 2006 and was recertified this school year. “I chose to spend the last 10 years working toward this National Board for Professional Teaching Standards certification renewal,” Garrett said. “When I first certified, I realized so much more was possible in my teaching than I had previously believed. I made a conscious choice to keep applying the teaching standards to my own teaching practice. I also chose to become more involved in the professional development of other teachers, hoping they would become more excited about high-quality teaching.” Garrett served two years as the district science instruction coordinator in the Shoreline School District and the past seven years as a support facilitator for national board candidates. “These are responsibilities I took on with (the) certification renewal in mind,” Garrett said. “I am always inspired to spend time with
amazing teachers. I learn much about how to increase student learning from their work.” Sequim educators with National Board Certification status include: Brian Berg, Sheri Burke, Christy Ditlefsen, Matt Duchow, Marcia Garrett, Shannon Green, Laura Gould, Stephanie Grotzke Nash, Jim Heintz, Charles Kleinberg, Kimberly Knudson, Mark Knudson, Ione Marcy, Stuart Marcy, Brad Moore, Renee Mullikin, Shannon Paselk, Isaac Rapelje, Linsay Rapelje, Chelsea Reichner, Jake Reichner, Rebecca Stanton, Joe Sullivan, Jennifer Van De Wege and Jorn VanDeWeghe. “I applaud the teachers who have devoted their time, energy and resources to improve upon their practice,” Sequim schools superintendent Gary Neal said. “(National Board Certification) inspires professionals
to undergo a deep reflection of their practice with the ultimate goal of improving student success.” The board certification process is being revised to incorporate the latest research on best practices in teaching. These changes are slowly being implemented over a three-year period, educators say, and the first group to certify under the new system will be in December 2017. There are 21 candidates in Sequim and another seven in Port Angeles schools. “The new system is designed to encourage more teachers to participate,” said Sequim High School teacher Stuart Marcy, who received his National Board Certification in 2009 and serves as a support facilitator for the NBC program, said.

Lilli Hardesty’s fashion class recently had a guest speaker from the fashion industry, Al Greco (now retired), who shared valuable information with class members to help them consider aspects of the fashion design industry. Mr. Greco took a great interest in reviewing the students’ fashion creations and hearing about the challenges they faced in the design phase. Mr. Greco, upon hearing that they didn’t have a dress form mannequin, generously bought one as a gift to the class. The students are so thankful for the gift of his time and expertise, and of their new classroom mannequin. They decided to name their class mannequin “Al” in Mr. Greco’s honor.

Greywolf Students Give Back
Most parents don’t think a lot about what others think of their parenting. Most of the time parenting is done at home without an audience. But each of us should remember that many of your parenting jobs are done rather openly with many different people assessing your skill. I recently was in line in a discount store waiting my turn to check out. A mother, certainly a tired one, was talking very crossly to her child who was probably 3 years old. She reached down to grab him and he took off. She yelled at him and he kept running. When she finally caught him she smacked him on his face and he then was the one to yell. I wasn’t the only one who assessed her lack of parenting skill on that day. It made many uncomfortable. Most of us just looked away and

to arrive, he pulled out a couple of books he had with him and to her delight read them to his little one. Then he talked with her about the things they could see outside. She was totally involved. So what should we do when we see this kind of behavior from good and from bad parents? Some would say we should do nothing. Others would say we should comment to both the good and the bad. I lean toward saying something. I think about the response you get from people when you say something positive to them as they enter a restaurant and wish them a good meal. Just taking the time to say something to people can make a big difference. I think that is true for saying something to parents who are doing a really nice job with their children.
It is certainly more difficult to handle the parent or any person who is doing something really wrong. One mom I knew certainly did a nice job. She was in a group and one mom said how upset she got with her children when she was tired. A second mom in the group who didn’t really know the tired mom said she would be happy to take her child anytime and gave her a phone number to reach her. Would you do something as generous?

Now that is a great New Year’s Resolution. Emphasize the positive. Keep your eyes open to good things happening around you.

From page B-1 of different things from fans, but I think the sword is probably going to be at the top of the list in the foreseeable future.” Peake now owns the first Titus Pullus Commemorative Sword created, which is one of a limited 25 handcrafted blades from Damascus steel, rolled and hammered into shape. Although the swords are a reflection of pure craftsmanship in every way, it took finding the right artists to bring Cox’s vision to reality. “I guess the hardest part was I had the design of the sword in my mind, but I didn’t have the equipment to build something like it,” Cox said. “To be able to round up the right guys was a lot of fun and a challenge, too.” By knocking on doors and pitching the project, Cox has collaborated with nearby artists in Port Townsend from Admiralty Precision, Massey Copper and Rain Shadow Woodworks, Inc., to bring the sword of Peake’s pages and an example of history to life. “All these guys do amazing work and are just all really down to earth people,” Cox said. The final step to complete the swords and to reveal the unique pattern of each blade requires about 12-15 hours of sanding and acidetching by Cox. “When they come to me, you can’t see the pattern,” Cox said. “Having been in the food business, I realized phosphoric acid and cit-

ric acid are readily used so I tried it (acid-etching) with phosphoric acid and lo and behold I am able to do it with acid that I can pour down my kitchen sink.” Having severe dyslexia, Cox was taken out of school in ninth grade to work for his father who owned multiple businesses. Cox worked primarily for the family pollution control business, as well as their food development business. Working for his father early on fueled Cox’s inventive tendencies that have since led him to pursue a variety of things from designing and operating a mobile fish fertilizer production plant to being one of the first people to help introduce Global Electric Motorcars (GEM) to California.

a team of artisans, Cox is designing a variety of limited edition swords beyond the Titus Pullus Commemorative Swords. Instead of commemorating a character however, the next set of swords will represent major moments in Roman history, like the battles of Philippi or Actium or the crossing of the Rubicon River. Reviving the trademark “Cox Shucker” first established by Cox and his father in 1977, Cox also is producing high quality oyster shuckers resembling miniature versions of the Gladius. Like Cox, Peake is continuing to revisit the ancient past and is working on more historical novels associated with but not part of the series. Peake released “Caesar Ascending: Invasion of Parthia” last November — the predecessor to “Caesar Triumphant” still in the making. Peake’s recent and developing books are still rooted in historical accuracy, but delve further into the fictional what ifs. For example, “Caesar Ascending: Invasion of Parthia” explores the question of: What if Gaius Julius Caesar had heeded that warning and the other signs leading up to the Ides and survived that day in March of 44 B.C.? For more information on the swords, visit olympicgladius.com or learn more about Peake’s books at marchingwithcaesarbookseries. com.

Collect the clues about the suspects who have fallen through time travel gateways to solve the Fourth Annual Mystery Game “Whodunnit Downtown? – The Case of the Chrome Key” on Friday, Jan. 8, during the Sequim Art Walk which was shifted from New Year’s Day. The story is in 1946, the Atomic Age emerged and by chance temporal portals through time and alternative universes opened in Sequim. Pirate Captain C.R. Silverbeard’s locked silver chest was found in a farmhouse overlooking the City of Sequim and Strait of Juan de Fuca. The chest from the past became a shiny curio on display at a local spice and tea shop. The treasure chest can only be opened by Silverbeard’s Chrome Key stolen from him in 1776. Treasure hunting adventurers and pirates from the present, past and Neo-Victorian times will gather in Sequim to reveal who stole the Chrome Key that unlocks this pirate plunder.
About the game
To create inclusion between venues, artists and audience, everyone is encouraged to participate in the Art Walk’s monthly themes as a fun community activity in any creative form they wish to express it. January is silver, February is red, March is green, April is pink, May is aqua, June is white, July

SUPERIOR COURT OF WASHINGTON FOR CLALLAM COUNTY NONPROBATE NOTICE TO CREDITORS Case No. 15 4 00418 2 RCW 11.42.030 IN re: Estate of BARBARA LYNN HAMMOND The notice agent named below has elected to give notice to creditors of the above-named decedent. As of the date of the filing of a copy of this notice with the court, the notice agent has no knowledge of any other person acting as notice agent or of the appointment of a personal representative of the decedent’s estate in the state of Washington. According to the records of the court as are available on the date of the filing of this notice with the court, a cause number regarding the decedent has not been issued to any other notice agent and a personal representative of the decedent’s estate has not been appointed. Any person having a claim against the decedent must, before the time the claim would be barred by any otherwise applicable statute of limitations, present the claim in the manner as provided in RCW 11.42.070 by serving on or mailing to the notice agent or the notice agent’s attorney at the address stated below a copy of the claim and filing the original of the claim with the court in which the notice agent’s declaration and oath were filed. The claim must be presented within the later of: (1) Thirty days after the notice agent served or mailed the notice to the creditor as provided under RCW 11.42.020(2) (c); or (2) four months after the date of first publication of the notice. If the claim is not presented within this time frame, the claim is forever barred, except as otherwise provided in RCW 11.42.050 and 11.42.060. This bar is effective as to claims against both the decedent’s probate and non probate assets. DATE OF FIRST PUBLICATION: Dec. 30, 2015
HANK is a golden/lab mix, 7-8 years, full of energy and very sweet. He loves people and especially would be best to be an only dog. He loves to play with other four legged friends, unless you are a cat. Hank is very gentle, loves car rides and going on adventures. He is looking for a home that will love him forever. Due to his size, I wouldn’t recommend very young children. CASINO is very sweet, affectionate and gets along with dogs as well. He is a high energy dog, very smart and will need an active family and another 4-legged friend to play with. Because of his prey drive, no cats or small animals. Casino is one of the nicest dogs you will find. He has completed our training program in basic obedience training and is ready for his new home.

KODY is a black lab mix about 1 year old. He’s a very very nice dog!! He’s playful, sweet, loving. He’s good with other dogs and cats too. Kody is housebroken and is just a big puppy that needs an active family and another dog to play with. Kody was found as a stray so we do not know his history. He had hair loss on his back and sides from fleas, but WAG took care of that and his hair is growing back. He’s a happy boy, ready to find his forever home.

MARKEY is a sweet, young Newfoundland mix who needs School a home with a large fenced House yard, another dog to play with and a person that has Gellor experience with fearful dogs. Mountain Springs Markey has difficulty trusting people. He will warm up to people, but it takes time. He appears to be more trusting of women than men. He has never been aggressive, his MO is to run away. Our dog training program was just too stressful for him, but the training he received, he remembers well.
