Fire district marks 100 years Department sets Saturday for centennial bash by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

A century ago, if you were a resident living north of what we now call Sequim — somewhere near Dungeness, for example — and your home caught fire, you were likely in for a long night. Back then, an all-volunteer crew of firefighters would travel with fire suppression equipment — the first, a 40-gallon chemical engine and hose cart pulled by as many as eight men — north along rutted roads and at some point cross the Dungeness River. Steve Vogel, fire chief for the

Was Sequim’s fire district all about fighting fires? Hardly. One of the department’s duties in the 1950s and 1960s was delivering Santa Claus to the Dresden movie theater in downtown Sequim, kicking off the local Christmas shopping season. Santa rode on top of the truck like it was his sleigh, while being driven down the street with lights flashing and siren blaring. “Many a volunteer fireman jumped into their shoes and raced out the door thinking it was a fire to put out, only to get a wave from Santa,” writes historian Judy Stipe.

Super Bowl MVP Smith, also afflicted with disorder, encourages Bourm by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

After seven years in and out of the hospital, Sequim student Tia Bourm, 17, now knows her experiences can help others. As one of 24 students selected out of 126 applicants, Bourm went to the University of Washington’s Nurse Camp July 21-25 where she saw an introduction into the world of nursing. She studied CPR, received nursing school admissions and financial aid advice, and gathered lifelong memories. “I’ve been in the hospital all the time and saw what the nurses do and wanted to be a part of it,” she said. “I want to explore the different types of nursing that are out there.” Being in a hospital isn’t a rarity for Bourm who was diagnosed in Nov. 6, 2006, with achalasia, a disease that prohibits the muscle of the esophagus from contracting to open and let food pass into the stomach. At the camp, Bourm found her experiences in the hospital came full circle. While shadowing a nurse, she met a woman in her 50s waiting for a transplant. The patient had to wait several hours for surgery so she couldn’t eat or drink anything and wasn’t hooked up to an IV for fluids.

School Board Picks Jeffers

Move reduces threat of litigation, superintendent says by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

Heather Jeffers takes her oath of office at the Sequim School District Board of Directors meeting Monday, Aug. 4, from Sequim schools superintendent Kelly Shea. Jeffers was selected from a three-person candidate pool Monday to serve the remainder of former board member Sarah Bedinger’s term (through November 2015). Jeffers is a licensed nursing home administrator at Avamere Olympic Rehabilitation of Sequim. Sequim Gazette photo by Michael Dashiell

From page A-1 “When I walked in, she said, ‘I know my nurse isn’t going to get me a 7-Up. Can you get me a 7-Up?’” Bourm said. “I told her I can’t do that, sorry.” Instead the teen turned to her personal experience to relate to the patient and share what works for her. “With all the tests I get, I’m not supposed to eat until I get my tests or surgery, so I could really relate,” Bourm said. “I know how you feel.

A change in policy strengthening the Sequim School District’s nondiscrimination stance toward transgender students met with opposition for the second consecutive meeting Monday night, but earned unanimous support from the five-member board. Though the school district has a nondiscrimination policy in place, Sequim schools superintendent Kelly Shea said the transgender student-specific policy further addresses how school staffers approach issues with transgender students. “Right now, we’re making it up as we go,” Shea said Monday. “I think the biggest issue is, ‘What shea happens when … ‘? If we don’t have things in place, we open ourselves to discrimination lawsuits.” Board members got their first look at the policy in July. It reads, in part, “The board recognizes the importance of an inclusive approach toward transgender students with regard to official records, confidential health and education information, communication, restroom

Tia was told by school counselor Nate Hirsch about Smith and she and her family wrote letters to Smith saying how big of fans they are of him and the team. “(Achalasia) is so rare, we don’t know anyone close by who has it,” Cathy said. After the Super Bowl, Cathy said they sent him another letter of congratulations on the Super Bowl win.

Tia said she’s wanted to work with children as a nurse but didn’t know she had so many options. She’s considering becoming a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, PICU, nurse. From her experience, the concept she’s learned most of all is that nurses are advocates for the patients. “They’re not just there to help them (patients) feel better or take their vitals,” Bourm said. “They are really telling the doctor this medication will help them. They are in between the doctor and the patient really making sure the patient is getting the best care that they can.”

and locker room accessibility, sports and physical education, dress codes and other school activities, in order to provide these students with an equal opportunity for learning and achievement. “This policy and its procedures will support that effort by facilitating district compliance with local, state and federal laws concerning harassment, intimidation, bullying and discrimination.” As in a July meeting, the policy adoption consideration drew comments from the public, with all but one opposing policy adoption. “(This adoption) will cause a lot of disruption,” Sequim resident Jerry Sinn said. “I just don’t see it’s worth it.” “I think the whole thing is preposterous,” Carlsborg resident Melvina Worman said. Sequim resident Laura MacMurchie spoke in favor of the policy adoption. “This is reality now,” she said. Despite initial indications from state school officials that the transgender policy was required by state law, Shea said school board members were not required to adopt the policy. In the end, all five board members — president John Bridge, Bev Horan,

Mike Howe, Walter Johnson and newly appointed board member Heather Jeffers — approved the policy. “It’s not about 2,790 students always; it’s about your one, and your one, about each one of our (students),” board member Bev Horan said Monday night. “These students have the same rights for a good education. They don’t come in … with agendas. They come in horan to get a good education. It’s an issue of safety and an issue of dignity. They want to have a place of privacy. As a school board member, I have an obligation for every one of our students.” Added Johnson, “We should adopt it because it’s the right thing to do.” Shea said that the school district has at least two students who identify as transgender and that they have worked things out with district staff to use restrooms away from traditional boys- or girls-only facilities. “Our district has handled this with an elegance no other school district in the peninsula has,” Horan said. “I trust our superintendent to develop a procedure that protects the personal dignity (of students), not just transgender students but of all students.”

by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

The idea of summer break takes on a much different meaning for Sequim High School students involved with the Future Farmers of America program. With livestock, including hogs and cattle and a five-acre farm to manage, the 35 students stay engaged year-round. This summer the students are partnering with the Clallam Conservation District on a cost-share agreement to enhance their farm and increase their farm management skills. Clallam Conservation District officials agreed to pay for 75 percent of the projects planned for the FFA farm, said Jennifer Bond, Clallam Conservation District conservation planner and lead on the project. The students, guided by Steve Mahitka, Sequim High School agriculture science teacher and FFA faculty advisor, are responsible for the remaining 25 percent of the costs, but that can come from the students’ volunteer labor and/or donated material, said Joe Holtrop, executive director of the Clallam Conservation District. The farm improvement projects include constructing a composting facility, pouring a concrete slab for the pig pen and installing water run-off infrastructure on the barn such as gutters, downspouts and a drainage system for the barnyard. The proposed projects are anticipated to cost a total of $15,427. Because the Clallam Conservation District’s portion of the project funding comes from a Department of Ecology grant ending in September, the project must be complete before the grant ends. Hence, Mahitka said he expects August will be a very busy month for him and the students. “The conservation board was very supportive of this cost-share agreement because it demonstrates best farm management practices,” Bond said. “It is not just this batch of students that will learn from this project, but other students will benefit from it in years to come.” Sequim High School 2012

graduate Casey Torres also has been instrumental in the planning and design of the projects at the FFA farm. Torres is in the midst of a summer internship with the Clallam Conservation District and is preparing for his third year at Washington State University where he’s studying civil engineering. “I helped design the composting facility and had a lot of hands-on practice surveying the property,” Torres said. “I think the most challenging part is trying to figure out a way to best divert water away from the barn.” The farm is located on a relatively flat piece of ground with poor-draining soils and a high water table, Torres said. In order to divert water away from the barnyard during the wet season both Bond and Torres explained piping the water away from the area and perhaps integrating some infiltration techniques may work best. “The whole process of working with the Clallam Conservation District has been a great educational experience for the students,” Mahitka said. “These are the types of students that will likely have their own piece of ground or farm someday and this process gives them an idea on how to work with the local agencies to best manage

their land.” The students began working with Bond in the spring to help identify what the farm needed. “It was really the students that directed the creation of a farm plan,” Bond said. Based on the students’ suggestions, the Clallam Conservation District engineer designed a composting facility that is 12 feet wide, has three compartments for the different stages of decomposition, controls waste and water runoff and allows for year-round tractor access. Ideally the students will be able to reuse the compost for fertilizer or even sell it, Makhita said. The learning opportunity of working with the Clallam Conservation District is one example of the kind of experiences FFA students get, Mahitka said. Out of 200 students enrolled in the agriculture program at Sequim High School, only 35 are part of the FFA program. Mahitka would like to see more students engage with the FFA program because it isn’t just about raising animals, but it exposes the students to the “whole gamut of what agriculture does,” and strengthens public speaking and leadership skills. To contact Mahitka about volunteering or donating material and/or services, call 5823666 or e-mail smahitka@ sequim.k12.wa.us.

SHS grad follows dream in U.S. Army by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

Bo Pinnell is, by even his own definition, mature for his 22 years. He’s married, been deployed in an overseas war, earned a promotion to sergeant and even has a bad back and knees from his years in airborne units. But Pinnell knows he grew up quickly by choice. By fifth grade, the Sequim youth knew he’d be following his father — and eventually, his older brother — into the armed services. Less than a year after high school, he signed up. “I didn’t really know what else to do (but) I’m glad I did it,” Pinnell said, on break after serving with an Army Infantry Airborne Unit in Italy since May 2011. “I’m glad I’m still in. It helps answer all those questions, like ‘What are you doing?’ You see a lot, do a lot.” And he has. That includes marrying high school sweetheart

Bo Pinnell and wife Johanna started dating as juniors at Sequim High. Both graduated in 2010. Submitted photo

Johanna (nee Ewing). Both graduated Sequim High in 2010 and were married during one of Pinnell’s rare, 36-hour leaves. “It wasn’t a dream wedding,” Pinnell admitted, recalling going back to his unit in Italy and working for five months to get his

wife overseas. Pinnell said he reenlisted to help pay for Johanna’s studies — Johanna’s studying to be caregiver — a move that the Sequim man said helped keep him centered. “I’d be out right now (without her),” he said. “I’d be lost.”

Back to School Fair set for Aug. 23 Sequim Gazette staff

Don’t look now but school is just around the corner. To help prepare students and parents for the 20142015 school year, local education advocates are planning a Back to School Fair, scheduled for 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, at the Sequim Boys & Girls Club, 400 W. Fir St. Activities and services include books, games, secure IDs, face painting, haircuts, school supplies, car seat checks, sports physicals, entertainment, information about immunization and

local preschools, a silent auction and more. The event, presented by First Teacher/Parenting Matters, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula, Sequim School District and United Way of Clallam County, is free. Following the fair is BLOCKfest — an interactive math, science and literacy event for parents and their children ages 8 months-8 years — at the Helen Haller Elementary School gym, 350 W. Fir St. (For more information about BLOCKfest, call Marilyn Walsh at 582-3262.)

That doesn’t mean he’s ready to call himself a career soldier just yet. Pinnell said he’s got about six years to decide if he wants to reenlist at the 10-year mark — but that means another 10 years in the service. A tempting prospect, he admitted, but so is going to college. Pinnell said he’s thought about pursuing a fire science degree and possibly move back to Sequim. “I’d love to go to school, see what I could make of it,” he said. One thing that’s definitely out is staying in the airborne services. All that jumping out of planes, Pinnell said, has given the young man a compromised back and knees. Instead, he’ll be an E5 (team leader) at Fort Carson, a United States Army installation near Colorado Springs, Colo. “I’m done with jumping,” Pinnell said. “Definitely going to be a change of pace.” In his short time with the U.S. Army, Pinnell noted, he’s seen

plenty of changes — notably, the level of professionalism has jumped up. Getting in trouble will get you a swift ticket out of the service, Pinnell said, and tattoos are a non-starter for those with dreams of being an officer. He would know: Pinnell sports a colorful sleeve of ink on his right arm, an elaborate display of Italian mythology complete with the seven deadly sins (in Italian) in script on his forearm. For new recruits, that’s pretty much a no-no, he said. “They want to keep a professional army.” Pinnell recently recounted a particularly dangerous 72-hour stretch of his nine-month deployment in Afghanistan in the Sequim Gazette (“Verbatim,” July 30, page A-10), serving in the Wardak province. For Pinnell, the firefight doesn’t deter him from the idea of seeing combat once again. “I would love to deploy again,” Pinnell said. “I would do it again.”

“There is so much history (to the department),” says Steve Chinn, District 3 volunteer captain and cochairman of the fire district’s centennial party set for Saturday, Aug. 9. “That’s what motivated him to do this.” For the public, Saturday’s festivities get started with a parade right down Washington Street, starting with the Snohomish County Fire District No. 7 Honor Guard and Pipes and Drums and featuring more than 20 in-use and antique fire trucks from Oregon and British Columbia as well as from various cities and towns in Washington. The parade route is from Fifth Avenue and Washington Street through downtown Sequim to Brown Road, where engines and other fire district folks head to the James Center. Following the parade, the community is invited to visit the antique engines and enjoy music, food, children’s activities and vendors at the James Center for the Performing Arts, just north of Carrie Blake Park. Music acts include Sequimarimba, Locos Only (featuring Sequim musician Kevin Magner) and band Black Rock. Activities at the band shell, scheduled for 11:30 a.m.-6 p.m., also feature a visit by the Airlift Northwest medical helicopter at 1 p.m. Fire officials do plan to honor local fire chiefs in the area including Vogel and former chiefs Lawrence Kettel and Tom Lowe. A dance party at 7 Cedars Casino — aptly/ironically named “Burning Down the House” — is set for 9 a.m.midnight. Commemorative T-shirts, hoodies and other items will be on sale at the event.

Setting the stage Last October, as the City of Sequim was in the midst of its own year-long centennial party, Vogel approached Chinn and Jeff Albers about cooking up a fire district

celebration to mark 100 years of service. “We kind of threw things around,” Chinn recalls. “We weren’t sure about tackling something like this.” Sequim fire officials contacted Canadian firefighters in Hudson Bay after they threw a 150th anniversary bash. “We were trying to think of how that would apply to small-town Sequim; that kind of gave us a footprint,” Chinn says. “Boy, did the ideas fly,” Vogel says, considering the events lined up for Saturday. “I think the whole day will be a highlight,” he says. And though the party does feature several fire engines from out of the area, Chinn says the event will have a distinctly local feel. “It’s a local event,” he says. “It’s us.”

Some history According to Vogel, the first known fire service began on March 11, 1914, when Sequim’s town council and citizens decided to organize a volunteer fire company and bucket brigade. On July 1 of that year, the city purchased a fire bell from Graham Fire Apparatus Co. for the sum of $25.50. The bell was installed in the belfry of the new 1914 Sequim City Hall located on Cedar Street. The bell, Vogel notes, was used not only for notifying the community of a fire but also to indicate a curfew bell to notify children to get off the street according to a city ordinance. Sequim Fire Company’s

first fire suppression apparatus was a man-powered 40 gallon chemical engine and a hose cart. From 1914-1948, the Sequim Fire Department’s coverage area was what now looks like Fire District 3’s boundaries; the Sequim Fire Brigade responded west to the Deer Park area and east into Gardiner community. “Back then, those were good firefighters — they didn’t have bunker gear,” Vogel says. The core roster of the department, he says, rarely changed between the 1920s and 1960s. Over the past 100 years the fire service has progressed from the horse and wagon to gas-powered fire engines; from drafting water out of an irrigation ditch to flowing water from fire hydrants; from no first aid to Advanced Life Support medical care. (Chinn says as many as 86 percent of calls the district responds to are aid calls). Vogel says he’s excited to see so many out-of-town folks help fete the district’s centennial. “It really speaks to the brotherhood and sisterhood of firefighters,” Vogel says. See redlightsirens.com, call 683-4242, e-mail fire3cent@gmail.com or stop by District 3’s Sequim headquarters at 323 N. Fifth Ave. for more information. Note: If residents have any old pieces of fire protection apparatus, they are urged to call the fire department at 683-4242 or e-mail fire3cent@gmail.com.

VOLUNTEER CORNER Allan Goff believes that volunteering allows citizens to serve and give back to the community by giving them an opportunity to share their talents. “I believe when people volunteer, they feel encouraged and needed,” Allan said. Personally, he has been giving back to the community by serving on the City’s Parks and Recreation Board since Parks & Recreation 2001 and serving as Chair since 2009. Board Chair Allan Goff “I wanted to serve the community utilizing the skills that I had acquired as a Park & Recreation Director, Landscape Architect, and business owner,” he added. Allan believes that City parks are important to the community because they enable citizens of any age to enjoy both passive and active recreation in a safe and pleasant outdoor environment without the distractions of daily life. He is very pleased to see the work that the City is conducting on the Parks Master Plan, and expressed that the long-range plan will impact our children’s children. This is especially important to Allan as one of the things he enjoys most is engaging in outdoor activities with his family and grandsons, including playing soccer at the Albert Haller playfields. “One of the most rewarding aspects of being on the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board is working with the wonderful, professional, and supportive Board members and City staff, as well as seeing the community embrace and really care about their parks and amenities,” Allan said. “I’ve been told that at our Board meetings we get business done, but we do it in a ‘fun’ atmosphere. As the board chair, that means a lot to me!”

Protect Your Storage Units Against Burglaries The Sequim Police Department reports a recent increase in burglaries, specifically at storage units. To protect against theft at your storage unit, the Police Department recommends the following: 1) Use hardened steel tamper proof hexagonal padlocks. 2) Look for secure storage unit facilities that are fenced and have on-site employees and/ or video security systems. 3) Be sure that the storage unit is in a well lit area, as they are less likely to be burglarized. 4) Check on your unit often and look for signs of attempted entry.

Gellert, aviation expert, bases worldwide company in Sequim Prods government to institute safety, security measures Sequim Gazette

When Sequim retiree Dan Gellert was interviewed by the Gazette three years ago on his trio of innovative concepts to improve aviation safety and security, he was pushing for using dogs specially trained in sniffing out explosives, his alternate airport runway configuration and a different method of wilderness firefighting with airplanes. Two out of three isn’t bad. Still vigorous and visionary, the former airline pilot, air traffic controller, aviation security expert and recipient of the FAA’s highest recognition, the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award, for his 50-plus years of an accident and violation free career, continues to promote his ideas to government authorities, from senators to President Obama to the Federal Aviation Administration and head of the Transportation Security Administration. And by inches, Gellert is seeing some progress in having his ideas accepted. For a decade he’d mulled over the idea of training and deploying dogs in airports across the nation specifically to use their keen sense of smell to detect all kinds of explosives, including plastic types. In 2011, the first bomb sniffing dogs finally arrived at some large airports around the country, long after their drug or agricultural product detecting comrades were introduced. “It takes probably two years to get an established dog because the trainer has to evaluate continuously,” Gellert said. “It’s fascinating, it’s amazing and it’s the only solution now that works. A dog clears everything in the security line,

an extremely important event.” Gellert explained that when people smell stew, it’s just stew, but when dogs smell stew, because of their superior sense of smell, they smell the individual ingredients and can discern all odors, no matter how minute, emanating from and around airport passengers. He is hopeful that more and more dogs will be trained to find all types of explosives well before any passenger intent on doing harm gets through TSA checkpoints.

Up and down safer Gellert’s company, Aerospace Safety and Security, Inc., has received positive attention overseas on a safer and money-saving revamping of airport

runways. His patented plan is one of three runway designs being considered for implementation by the British Airport Commission. According to Gellert’s patent abstract, “Split-Runway Design patents greatly increase runway takeoff and landing sequence capacities, through the landing and taking-off airliners using the same runway with SRD. Arriving aircraft land on the designated landing strip portion of the runway, while departing aircraft take off from the designated takeoff strip portion of the runway … Existing runways may be readily converted into two designated portions for arriving and departing

City Public Works Director is stepping down W Haines to keep key position through November City of Sequim Public Works Director Paul Haines has announced he will leave the city at the end of November. In a letter to Sequim City Manager Steve Burkett, Haines said, “There are other personal

challenges, adventures and professional opportunities I need to develop and now is the time for me to start that next chapter.” He also added, “I cannot say enough about our hard work-

ing Public Works staff and their personal efforts to maintain a well-kept, attractive, award-achieving and safe place for residents and visitors. Their efforts to treat our customers as if they were neighbors show

up in our ‘small-town’ friendly service. I have really appreciated this opportunity.” “Paul has accomplished everything that I was expecting when I hired him as our Public Works Director four years ago. I appreciate everything he has done to improve the public

works organization and the city,” said Burkett. Haines began working for the City of Sequim in April 2010. He will continue to work for the city until the end of November. Contact Burkett at 681-3440 or sburkett@sequimwa.gov with questions.

He said in addition to satellite GPS navigation, pilots would have visual contact with planes in front of, behind and alongside them, which isn’t always the case now. Some of the costs of implementation would be extending existing runways from 8,000 feet or 12,000 feet to 15,000 feet, he said. U.S. airport runways are configured differently, but most have incoming planes and outgoing planes on side by side runways,

Burkett told city councilors at the July 28 meeting that city staffers remain “somewhat optimistic” that the bank will allow the sale to go through burkett on an adjacent property at 191 W.

landing and taking off in rapid succession from opposite directions. It’s also common to have planes taxiing across active runways to line up for takeoff. Usually long after the fact, the FAA will announce an incursion or near miss between incoming and outgoing planes. “With our system, landing and taxiing planes are moving away from arriving aircraft, so it’s a lot safer,” Gellert said. “My idea started in the 1950s and 1960s in bush flights in Alaska. I came up with a number of procedures and they worked and saved fuel and time by shorter taxiing. It’s in the interest of airlines to cut the time they’re on the tarmac. The benefit is that an airport could double the number of takeoffs and landings. It could be a real money saver and money maker.” However, Gellert hasn’t been able to convince the FAA director, “with no pilot or air traffic experience”

The market, of course, was thrilled to have her. I asked how the market shaped her start. “It gave me the confidence to open

His concept is to attack the fire directly in its early stages, putting it out well before it scorches miles of land —

critical time frame. Once it’s growing, there are too many flames and too much smoke, so planes then can’t fly low enough, and then the fire starts covering a bigger and bigger area.” Gellert said another advantage of striking proactively is that the scene is preserved for investigators to determine the fire’s cause — lightning, human carelessness or arson. He noted that individual wilderness firefighters favor his proactive concept but it’s bogged down in the inertia of bureaucracy. But Gellert is not discouraged. “I keep on prodding and I think it will come to this (proactive method). I can’t imagine another option.” For Gellert’s background, see www.aerospacesafetyandsecurity. com.

to drench and quench in the first “Golden Hour.” “The problem with fires having fuel is they kind of explode. What I’ve been suggesting to fire service officials is to buy large airline aircraft and convert them into firefighting airplanes that can stay up in the air longer, fly low and carry a heavy load, like we did in Vietnam with Agent Orange,” Gellert explained. “These wide body refitted jetliners can drop 12,000-24,000 gallons on a fire compared to a mere 800 gallons by helicopter. We need heavy lift, heavy hit — timely intervention in the first hour of an identified fire. These aircraft can cover the nation, dump a heavy load and stay on station (in the area) for extended periods,” Gellert said. “This way we can put out a fire at its inception by dousing the fire itself. National Guard pilots could get to a fire in less than an hour, a

Participants may be able to enroll as a covered benefit through their employer health benefits or through limited

Master Gardeners to talk wasps, hornets, bees and bugs Wasps and hornets are best known for painful stings and their special knack for intruding on summer picnics, but those familiar with wasps say there are more to these insects around than one may imagine. Most will never sting and they play a large role in the garden ecosystem. Presented by Laurel Moulton, Jerry Freilich and Dee Sudduth, a Class Act presentation is set for 10 a.m.-noon on Saturday, Aug. 9, at the Master Gardeners Woodcock Demonstration Garden at 2711 Woodcock Road, Sequim. The goal, event organizers say, is to have gardeners come away with a more complete picture of the life and habits of these often maligned insects and with new knowledge of the garden insect community as a whole. Moulton will talk about identification and

habits of common members of the Vespid family (“True wasps”) and how gardeners benefit from the activities of these insects. She will discuss recommended techniques for trapping and managing nuisance hornet and wasp colonies. Entomologist Jerry Freilich will talk on the vast diversity of bees and wasps. He will show examples of the varieties of the insects and let visitors examine them under a microscope. Veteran Master Gardeners Dee Sudduth and Cindy Eriksen join in the fun to answer insect questions and help participants learn more about the insects in the demonstration garden, including a thriving honeybee colony established there. The WSU Clallam County Master Gardeners provide horticultural education to individuals to help them manage their landscapes and gardens in a science-based, sustainable manner and to increase public awareness of the value of home and public landscapes and the benefits of gardening as a part of a healthy lifestyle. For more information, call the WSU Master Gardeners of Clallam County at 565-2679.

They continued to develop beautiful gardens full of flowers and vegetables. Mollie’s interests at that time included weaving and knitting, classical music, hiking and camping and being with friends. When Mac passed away in February of 1982, Mollie volunteered at the Sequim Food Bank, traveled extensively with the Elderhostel group, and pursued her love of music by attending many recitals with her ever-growing group of friends.

More odds and ends from the editor’s desk A few weeks back, I wrote about the burden we seem to be placing on students coming out of college. Now I have a number: $23,293. That’s the average burden per borrower from the Class of 2012, according to the Project on Student Debt, an initiative of Institute for College Access & Success, a nonprofit policy and research organization. That number is lower in several Western states like California, Nevada and Arizona — but it’s actually middle-of-theEditor’s road, comparatively. East Corner Coast students are getting hammered much Michael Dashiell more than those on the left coast. Students in Delaware are on the other side of the bell curve with $33,649 of debt. Well, at least the low-income students get big breaks … or not. According to the report, the median debt for a low-income student graduating from a public four-year university in 2008 was just under $17,600 and rose to nearly $20,700 by 2012, a 17.6-percent increase. The research found higher student debt reduces the likelihood of students with majors in science, technology, engineering and math going on to graduate school. While there is great interest in stemming the tide — tuition hikes last year slowed to their lowest level since the early 1980s thanks to tuition freezes and some increased funding nationwide — the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities notes that funding for higher education remains below pre-recession levels in nearly every state. Last week, U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer introduced an amendment to connect students with the financial management resources they need to responsibly manage their funds. The amendment was approved by a vote of 404-14 to be included as part of the Empowering Students Through Enhanced Financial Counseling Act (H.R. 4984), which passed the House on July 24 by a vote of 405-11. The amendment directs universities and the Department of Education to introduce students to the financial management resources. “In order to grow quality jobs and opportunities we need to keep the doors to higher education open for all students,” Rep. Kilmer said. “Those students who are taking on loans to pay for college need access to tools to keep their finances on track. Empowering more students to better manage their finances will help them succeed, strengthen their household finances and boost the financial stability of our country.” It’s a good step. Many more need to follow.

An eye out for scams A Gazette reader called last week to let us know about a scam making its rounds across the valley. The approach had all the familiar characteristics of a scam: odd-hour calls, non-local area codes (in this case, 876 — Jamaica!), callers trying to obtain personal information. The reader has gone to the great length of disconnecting his phone at night. As always, never, ever give out personal information over the phone. If you can, get names and numbers of people trying to solicit something from you, get any offers in writing (and be wary of those, too), do your homework and above all, protect yourself. Report possible scams to the attorney general (atg.wa.gov/allconsuming.aspx).

Verbatim: Tim Wheeler Tim Wheeler is a Sequim High School graduate from the Class of 1958. In the July edition of the The Ditchwalker, the Sequim Alumni Association’s newsletter, Wheeler recounts a chance encounter with a man whose son would become President of the United States. That article, “An Unforgettable Sequim Visitor,” is reprinted here with permission from the alumni association. (To subscribe to The Ditchwalker, send $10 to: Sequim Alumni Association, PO Box 1758, Sequim, WA, 98382.) “In 1961, I was working on our Sequim dairy farm and taking classes at the University of Washington. I met my future wife, Joyce, at the UW and made many friends. Some visited our farm, including Muga Ndega, an exchange student from Kenya. Later I ran into Muga on the UW campus. He asked if he might visit again and could he bring a friend? Muga said his friend, a fellow Kenyan, had a big car and we could all ride together. So we did, with Muga and Joyce a nd I in t he back seat, and his friend driving with t wo young women with him in the front. He was a slim, handsome man with an unusual and unforgett able na me. I will Barack Obama, Sr. never forget the white-knuckle terror as the Buick careened around the curves of Old Olympic Highway at breakneck speed to our home, the old Bell House that still stands up on Bell Hill. Muga’s friend was gracious and polite. I remember little more about his visit. However, 40 years later at breakfast, I read

nut jobs that reside in our community. (Too many of those only slight variations of previous letters by the same “writers.” So boring, bigoted, ignorant.) Of late, trashing Obamacare has been a favorite cartoon topic. I honestly just can’t understand why. There are many more people in our community, state and nation that now have access to health care than previously. So why keep beating this very dead horse? And the cartoon today (July 30) with yet another Obama bash. (One panel depicting Obama describing the etiology of wildfires with a second panel depicting a man in a burned out house.) With the point, I guess, being that Obama likes to understand and deliberate before taking action and explain issues and situations to the public and not do anything on the ground? Excuse me, but I believe he played the crucial quite unpopular role in keeping our economy from falling into a full-blown depression. That he’s unable to understand the situation of us common folk?

Joyce an item in the newspaper that featured that unforgettable name. I said, “Somebody named Barack Obama is running for the U.S. Senate in Illinois. That can’t be the Barack Obama we know, can it? This guy running in Illinois is far too young.” We realized that our visitor in 1961 was Barack Obama Sr., father of our 44th president. He survived two serious car crashes in his life before dying in a crash outside Nairobi in 1982. Joyce and I worked to help elect his son as president. Obama carried Clallam County in both elections.

So folks with pre-existing conditions could actually afford to get help with them? I could go on, but I think my point is made. (As an aside, I don’t believe either President Obama or Obamacare are perfect. It’s just way past time to set both these topics aside and move on.) Frankly, I miss Tim Quinn’s cartoons. Most everything the Gazette has tried since has been rubbish. Why don’t you just access Quinn’s copious trove and rerun them? Make an arrangement with his estate. Please. They’d at least be entertaining instead of the disgusting trash you are currently disseminating. And they’d likely not be any more dated than the topics you continue to urp up ad nauseam.

SARC adds to quality of life Last month I relocated to Sequim and am looking forward to establishing my business here. I just started reading the Gazette and I was very alarmed to learn that the residents of Sequim may not support a 12-cent property levy to keep SARC running. In my decision to move to Sequim, having access to a swimming pool that is affordable was in my top five considerations. Because I work long hours at home on my computer, swimming two or three times a week is essential to keep my body and my psyche healthy. When I was deciding where to relocate, I considered all three towns — Port Townsend, Port Angeles and Sequim. I chose Sequim for its beauty, quiet and small-town appeal. Yet despite its size, it offered a high quality of life.

A rebuttal to Mr. Howerter’s letter, “Taxpayers should not subsidize SARC” (Letters to the Editor, Sequim Gazette, July 30, page A-10): “ ... special interest group claiming they deserve a subsidy from the population at large.” Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center was formed for and by that “population at large.” Bowling alleys, movie theaters and restaurants that go out of business are private enterprises and therefore not subsidized with public funds, as Mr. Howerter implies.

metaphor for this, the latest in Mr. Dorn’s seemingly futile attempt to hold our state to the McCleary v. State of Washington January 2012 Supreme Court decision to fully fund education … grasping at straws? Tilting at windmills? Playing for the Mariners? Good luck and God speed, Randy. In June, the Washington Supreme Court ordered state officials to be ready by the traditional first day of school (Sept. 3) to explain why they shouldn’t be held in contempt of court over the school funding issue. According to news reports, the court could go as far as closing all schools until they are properly funded. In a unanimous order, Supreme Court justices threatened to hold the state in contempt. State attorneys are on the hook to show up to defend it at a hearing Sept. 3. In response, the state came back with some powerful language in a court brief: “It is one thing for a court to order the Legislature to comply with a constitutional mandate or limitation. It is quite another for the court to prescribe specific legislation. Doing so effectively

Lavender remains strong

In response to Mr. John Jones’ letter of July 30 (“The end of lavender?” Letters to the Editor, Sequim Gazette, page A-10), I have what I consider some salient points. Signs were posted everywhere regarding the citywide shuttle bus … it was well advertised. Our farm, Purple Haze, had a shuttle bus running every 30 minutes from our farm from Carrie Blake Park. It for the most part was FULL on all the trips. The hayride was NOT cancelled as Mr. Jones seems to think and ran smoothly all weekend. At our farm it was our largest Friday ever and was standing room only on Saturday. That’s after 19 years running. Mr. Jones might want to search on the Internet the comments from the weekend. He will find that not only did folks enjoy themselves but mentioned in force that they considered this weekend one of the best ever … I know that

imposes a judicial edict, rather than a democratic legislative decision arrived at by the representatives of the people of Washington.” Further, “Imposing a fine on the State if legislators do not vote in a particular way similarly coerces the vote of legislators, and it places the burden of the legislators’ noncompliance with the Court’s order on the wrong group of people. By subjecting the State to a hefty fine, the Court may be harming the very people it intends to benefit.” As Jason Mercier of Washington Policy Center sees it, this is building up to be “a full-fledged constitutional crisis.”

Kudos to a keen-eyed wordsmith Attorney Joe Hunt of Ballard recently got out of a traffic citation because he convinced a King County Superior Court judge that the posted speed limit sign had too many words. The extra verbiage on the school zone sign, he argued, make the sign harder to read than the succinct wordage suggested in a federal traffic control device manual.

I am aware that some folks argue that SARC should be financially self-sustaining, like a regular business. But, as has been pointed out, such community swimming facilities are rarely self-supporting. They were established to provide a service to the people in the community, not as a profit-making enterprise. They exist to enhance the quality of life for residents. I noticed that Port Townsend’s public pool is subsidized heavily by the city — the fees of admission only cover 50 percent of operating expenses. Also, the Port Angeles pool is subsidized by a yearly tax levy which provides a big chunk of the funds needed to keep the facility open — $475,000 projected for this year. The fees that would be collected from the levy would demand only about $2 a month for the average homeowner. I think this is a small price to pay for keeping the quality of life here high. I do hope the residents of Sequim rise to the occasion and vote to support this facility. I would very much like to stay here, but, if the pool closes, I would definitely need to revisit my decision

Howerter wrote, “A facility used by only a minority of the community should ‘pay its own way.’” Does that include the library, fire department and OMC? Mr. Howerter goes on, “SARC should be required to operate by the same (company) standard.” Distinction: Private businesses provide the ability to gain personal wealth. SARC is a taxing entity formed to provide monetary support for the population at large swimming pool! “Operating standards”: SARC is governed by state statutes and held to a higher financial and legal standard than most private citizens. Mr. Howerter’s last comment was, “If SARC can’t remain solvent without taxpayer’s subsidy, it should close and sell its facilities to a private company.” To be sold, Sequim would have to be four times its present population to be profitable for a national franchiser to acquire. Most importantly and often forgotten, Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center was known, as are 99 percent of all other public swimming pools, not to be self-supporting. That was true in 1985 and remains true to this day. If more people had attended SARC’s seminar on July 23, maybe

The nature of Sequim I was a city dweller most of my life. I grew up in Seattle outside the city limits in the early days in a neighborhood with small new houses with yards, flower gardens and picket fences. The wildest life we saw were robins and garter snakes. The first time I encountered deer roaming the streets was in rural eastern Washington. I was enormously impressed and persuaded my husband to have lunch at a nearby restaurant so we could watch them. Looking back now I can just imagine the eye rolling of locals listening to my amazed gushing over what was for them an everyday sight. My husband and I have lived in Sequim for 16 years. We came to the Olympic Peninsula when I accepted a position at Olympic Medical Center but we also were drawn by the beauty of mountains, waters and forests. We found an unfinished house we liked which was new and perched on a pile of dirt, sand and gravel surrounded by vacant dirt lots. Husband got busy finishing the house and landscaping and today we have our own park accented by an assortment of rocks, some too large to move by hand, and some screened from piles of dirt by my diligent husband. The vacant lot to our east grew into a haven of trees, brush and wild roses for young bird families. That is, once the raccoons quit coming through the lot on their way to neighbors who fed them restaurant scraps, not the doggy bag type but the dumpster type that restaurants throw away each day. When they moved, the raccoons moved on, too. We installed two communal bird feeders, a finch feeder and a hummingbird feeder that has seven tubes that are my responsibility to keep full. For reasons unknown to us, this year has broken all records for types and numbers of birds. We have at different times seen doves, quails, hummingbirds, Rufus-sided towhees, Stellar jays, cedar waxwings and downy woodpeckers among all the usual neighborhood birds, all living together in some kind of ecosystem that has birds spewing food from the feeders for other birds eating below.

Think About It ... Bertha Cooper break out and birds do targeted speed flying with enough precision to get close enough to drive the other bird away without touching. I have tried telling them that this is a peace zone but they listen about as much as our two cats who face each other down when some cat line has been crossed. Like aliens, a pair of ducks landed one spring day and explored the area around the bird feeders. To our surprise they returned on a regular basis finding morsels not consumed by the other birds. Now it’s only the female that returns which makes us sad. I was really surprised another spring day to see a gorgeous feathered pheasant strolling through the yard. Two months later, we were delighted to see a mother pheasant and her four babies that we are watching grow. I never saw Dad again.

Oh, deer! I am no longer surprised by deer passing through our land but in the early hours of a Sunday morning in May, I was surprised to see a new fawn walking out of our driveway. I saw it was newborn enough to be expelling meconium. I didn’t see the mom but watched the fawn from inside the house and saw it go into this same wooded lot that has spawned so much new life. I could hear it mew and thought it was likely lagging behind Mom who already was in the woods. Fast forward nearly nine hours later when we arrived home and heard loud anxious bleating coming from the woods. “Fawn!” Sure enough, fawn was in the thicket bleating and no Mom in sight. I went to the phone to find out what to do – called neighbor who said call the State Patrol who contacted the Department of Fish and Wildlife. Just about then hus-

band announces, “I have him in our garage. Fawn came out of the thicket and let me pick her up.” Oh deer! I’m off to the Internet to find out what to do. I read that fawns are left for long periods of time by their mothers; mom deer will come when baby cries; don’t feed them cow’s milk or they will die a painful death. “Stop the milk!” I called to my husband. We had already put out a bowl of milk which the fawn had the good sense to ignore. Fawn was unafraid and seemed at peace although occasionally poked his nose between my husband’s legs no doubt planning to eat. At last I thought to call our veterinarian who advised I call the Northwest Raptor & Wildlife Center. I called and was relieved to hear the voice of Jaye Moore who asked pointed questions about the fawn’s day as we knew it. She said the prolonged bleating and coming out of a thicket to my husband were indications the fawn was abandoned but she couldn’t be certain. Husband held fawn while I drove to the center and we left fawn to be fed and sent to a field where other fawns picked up by humans lived. Later in the evening the Fish and Wildlife person called and dispassionately lectured me that we should have left the fawn alone. We will never know. We thought we heard cries for help. We felt drained and disheartened; it had been a wearing evening. Now many weeks later, our sanctuary of life goes through cycles of gains and losses. Husband counts quail babies and some are missing. I hope the lot owners will call us before they clear their lot. It will be our wildlife’s Katrina and we will be very sad. Many of us have moved here and onto the remaining rocky devastation of former wildlife habitats. It’s the nature of Sequim. Bertha D.

Plan to treat Carlsborg wastewater in Sequim nears final stages City and county officials to create inter-local agreement by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

The option to transport wastewater from the Carlsborg Urban Growth Area to the Sequim Water Reclamation Facility is well under way. Although the plan for a public sewer system has taken a few twists and turns throughout the years of planning, the option to utilize Sequim’s existing facility appears favorable among city and county officials. The amended plan to treat wastewater from the Carlsborg Urban Grown Area includes the construction of a collection system and lift station in Carlsborg and the ability to route the wastewater to Sequim.

Overall costs The initial capital cost of the Sequim alternative is estimated at $13,340,500 through 2030. County officials are prepared to pay for this with a $10 million loan from the Washington State Public Works Trust Fund and funds from the Clallam County Opportunity Fund allocated to the Carlsborg Sewer Fund that was created in 2010. “I am delighted because the budget we’ve created for this of around $14 million can comfortably cover the cost with about a 20-percent margin built in for any unexpected costs,” said Jim McEn- mcentire tire, Clallam County commissioner. Compared to the Carlsborg alternative, treating the wastewater in Sequim is predicted to have both reduced capital and operating costs and ultimately save more than $13 million in life-cycle costs between 2015-2050, according to the amended facilities plan. By 2050, the estimated cost to the county to pursue the Sequim alternative is about $41 million.

Carlsborg residents Martin anticipates phasing out all septic systems within a 10- to 15-year timeframe. “The reason for phasing out septic systems is because we keep getting data with increased levels of nitrates, including data from the well the Public Utilities District (PUD) uses in the area,” Martin said. Once connected to the public sewer system, the monthly cost to residents within the Carlsborg Urban Growth Area is estimated to be $65-$70, Martin said. However, the more costly part for residents is the initial price to hook up to the public sewer system, which likely will range from $7,000$7,500. In order to entice more residents to connect to the public sewer system sooner rather than later, county officials plan to offer a reduced connection rate of $500 for the first two years. Troye Jarmuth, chairman of the Carlsborg Community Advisory Council, pointed out the “unavoidable out-ofpocket expense” property owners also must pay given they are responsible to get their wastewater from their property to the public sewer system line for connection. Based on her research and estimates, Jarmuth predicts this expense could cost an individual property owner $2,000-$7,000. Although a primary concern from Carlsborg residents regarding the use of the Sequim Water Reclamation Facility was reduced local control, Jarmuth feels these concerns have been eased by the fact the county will be treated as a wholesale customer by the city and the two entities will have an established memorandum of understanding. “When he (Martin) explained the benefits about going with the Sequim alternative, it made sense,” Jarmuth said. “Sequim has a highly recognized treatment facility so why wouldn’t we want to piggy back on their wisdom?”

system operational by 2016. While county and city officials await feedback from the Department of Ecology, Martin said they’re designing the Carlsborg collection system and it is about 70 percent complete. “Two or three years ago this train was on a completely different track,” Burkett said. “This is a good example of inter-government cooperation.” For more information on the Carlsborg Urban Growth Area sewer project, visit www. clallam.net/publicworks.

To move forward with the amended plan and convey wastewater from a pump station in Carlsborg across the Dungeness River, likely under the U.S. Highway 101 bridge and into the city’s sewer main at Grant Road, a 410-page amended Carlsborg wastewater facilities plan is under review by the Department of Ecology. County officials expect to get feedback from Ecology no later than the end of September. During the interim, Bob Martin, Clallam County Public Works administrative director, has presented the Sequim alternative to the Carlsborg Community Advisory Council, Clallam County Board of Commissioners and the Sequim City Council. “Although it seems like the county is presenting this proposal, at this point it is a joint proposal by the city and county,” said Steve Burkett, city manager. “The city has been working closely with the county to prepare this proposal.” The draft for an interlocal agreement between the county and city should be done by the end of the month, Martin said. The assumption is the Carlsborg Urban Growth Area will act as a wholesale customer in order to utilize the city’s water reclamation facility. A s su m i n g b ot h t h e Sequim City Council and count y commissioners adopt an inter-local agreement based on predictions thus far, the county would be charged $0.0098 (slightly

less than one penny) per gallon on wastewater treated, said Paul Haines, City of Sequim Public Works director. The annual income gained by the city depends on the amount of daily flow coming from the Carlsborg Urban Growth Area, and according to county officials’ assumptions, this amount of daily wastewater flow should grow annually. The price per gallon of wastewater treated also can fluctuate annually to reflect the maintenance and operations cost of the Sequim Water Reclamation Facility, Haines said. The initial buy-in payment made to the city is estimated at $1.05 million and includes part of the project costs, such as Sequim collection system upgrades needed to adequately serve the Carlsborg Urban Growth area as well. In anticipation of future growth in the Carlsborg Urban Growth Area, county officials will need to reserve an appropriate amount of the Sequim Water Reclamation Facility’s treatment capacity. If the estimated capacity is reserved and therefore purchased in 2015, it will cost the county $898,900, Martin said. This purchase is included in the initial buy-in cost and would guarantee the needed capacity at the treatment facility to serve the Carlsborg Urban Growth Area for the next 20 years. The county also will pay an appropriate percentage of capital improvement projects as needed.

ficials looked for both a sensible and cost-effective approach, McEntire said. Pursuing the Sequim alternative not only solved the problem of building a sewer treatment facility near Carlsborg neighborhoods, but it also helps spread the cost of operating the Sequim facility, which isn’t even at capacity. “It’s kind of a win all the way around which is really Bob Martin, Clallam County Public Works administrative director, rare in local government,” presents the Sequim alternative for the Carlsborg Sewer Project during the Sequim City Council meeting Monday, July 28.

A tour of Peninsula Friends of Animals’ haven by ALANA LINDEROTH

Peninsula Friends of Animals

Sequim Gazette

I’ve had many different species of pets throughout my life. I’ve had critters that are fuzzy, feathered and scaled, but undoubtedly one of my most memorable pets was Jumper. Jumper was a big gray, longhaired cat my parents got for me when I was 5 years old. Although Jumper is long gone, whenever I see a big friendly cat I can’t help but be reminded of the endless nights Jumper curled up next to me in bed, the way he would sit below my feet and beg for my bacon at breakfast time, or the way he’d purr and bump his face against my hand in his tireless need for attention. I was reminded of Jumper a lot when my colleagues and I participated in a tour of Safe Haven, the place where Peninsula Friends of Animals, a nonprofit cat shelter,

Organization with pet adoption, foster home, spay/neuter and sponsorship programs Mission: “To prevent the birth of unwanted cats and dogs through progressive spay/neuter and educational programs; and to place as many homeless, neglected and abused animals into good, safe, permanent homes.” Executive Director: Danette Grady Phone: 452-0414 On the web: safehavenpfoa.org operates. The trip to Safe Haven was my first time inside a two-story, multi-room house devoted to cats. The house sits on a sloping, well-manicured 35 acres with two houses. The main house is essentially a kitty condo complex with a smaller house for the onsite caretaker. With one full-time director, Danette Grady, a couple of part-time employees and many volunteers, Peninsula Friends

of Animals rescues and accepts cats of all ages and provides them with veterinary care and shelter until they’re adopted. The organization has a variety of programs and community services beyond its adoption program, including a low-cost spay and neuter program, trap/neuter/return program, foster home program, sponsorship program

and a pet food bank for both dogs and cats. Upon my arrival at Peninsula Friends of Animals, I was greeted by the three “office cats” named Tippy, Rosie and Tony. These three friendly faces were the first of about 35 cats and six kittens I was able to meet. To kick off the tour my colleagues and I were escorted to the “kitten room.” As with all of the rooms within the house it simulated the feel of a living room, definitely not an animal shelter. Within a few minutes of our introduction the kittens were quick to display their different personalities. Rainbow, a spunky, slender orange tabby, had endless energy and it seemed as though her paws were made of bouncy balls as she leapt, nearly doing backflips in chase of a feathered cat toy. Then there was Tailspin, a black kitten with a tail

Club ‘paints the town’ for LARC OTA to host auditions for ‘Harvey’ Sequim Gazette staff

Eleven murals in and the Sequim Boys & Girls Club keeps its streak going with another happy client. Club members with the Paint the Town program recently completed an outside mural for the LARC Gallery, 425 E. Washington St., that faces traffic going west. Members of the club Kyle Gordeuk, Collin Holcombe, Faith McConnaughey, Emily Stanley of Marysville, Alex Blanchard and Daniel Call followed Teen Room coordinator Luke Kisena’s design. Kisena said it took nine-plus hours to complete, including about two hours for Gordeuk to film stop-motion video. The video can be seen at www.facebook.com/ShirleyMercerArt. Shirley Mercer, owner of the gallery, said she learned of the group after one of the gallery’s artists brought her a newspaper clipping of the Martin Luther King Jr. mural the group painted. “I thought it’d draw some

General garden advice It’s high summer! This is the hottest, driest month of the year, so monitor your plants and keep them well watered. Don’t let the weeds get ahead of you, as seeds will germinate fast in your warm, moist flower and vegetable beds. Pull weeds out while they are small and never let them go to seed. Your compost pile should benefit from the heat, but don’t let it dry out. Turn and moisten it as necessary. Most important of all, enjoy the fruits of your labor. Cut flowers for bouquets and harvest vegetables for good eating.

Planting your winter garden

Get It Growing Lois Bellamy and Bill Wrobel • Bulbs, Corms, Rhizomes and Tubers: Divide and replant iris. W hen cutting lilies for bouquets leave as much of the stem as possible (at least twothirds) as they regenerate their bulbs from the stem. Fertilize dahlias using a low-nitrogen fertilizer after watering. Plant fall crocus for late September bloom. • Lawns: Mow the lawn and deep water at least once this month. Don’t fertilize this month. • Perennials: Fertilize and water fall-bloomers such as asters and chrysanthemums using a lownitrogen fertilizer. Prune roses for a pleasing shape; remove crossing branches and work to open up the center of the plant for good air circulation. Pull off sprouts arising below the graft union (suckers) and remove leaves with black spot; do not compost. This is the last month for planting roses; be sure to mulch after planting, but do not fertilize. Shear lavender to reshape it after blooming. • Shrubs and Trees: Don’t plant trees and shrubs until fall. Leave them in pots and water regularly. Avoid extensive pruning since it encourages new growth late in the season; remove dead material and shape lightly. Prune hydrangeas as soon as flowers begin to fade.

Care for your edible garden • Berries: Clean up, fertilize and water June-bearing strawberries after harvest; remove weak, old and crowded plants and narrow rows to 8- to 12-inches. Prune out second-year

We are lucky to live where it is possible to harvest vegetables all year. There are a variety of plants you can start now that will grow over the summer to be ready to harvest in the fall and winter. Early in the month, directly seed arugula, collards, kale, daikon/ winter radish, leaf mustards, Chinese greens, spinach, winter onions and scallions, lettuce and mizuna. Late in the month, directly seed corn salad, arugula, cilantro and winter lettuce. Be sure to buy the right cultivar for a winter garden; check in a seed catalogue or at a local nursery. You also can buy starts that can be set out about a month later than the directly seeded vegetables. Purple sprouting broccoli, winter cauliflower and cabbage should have been direct seeded by July but can be bought as starts and planted now. If you planted carrots early in July, they will have time to mature before cold weather sets in. You can leave them in the ground and harvest as you need them over the winter. If your beds still have summer veggies, plant seeds in trays and then transplant them in September after the other vegetables have been harvested. For example, plant lettuce for the winter where your beans grew. To make this garden successful, cover the new plants with row cover to prevent insect infestations. Row cover left on for the winter also protects plants from wind and keeps them somewhat warmer. Mulch as the weather gets colder to keep the top layer of soil from freezing. raspberry and blackberry canes (canes that just fruited) after harvest. Trellis first-year canes of trailing blackberries unless you live at a higher elevation. Harvest blueberries 2-3 days after the entire berry turns blue. • Fruit Trees: Except for pears, harvest fruit when ripe. Apples are ripe when the seeds turn brown; plums, when fruit slightly soft. Harvest pears when fullsized but hard. • Vegetables: Prune about 4 inches from the growing tips of tomato vines and remove blossoms to force the plant to put all its energy into ripening fruit. Remove tomato plants with signs of late blight such as water-soaked spots on leaves, stems or fruit.

Remove new flowers on winter squash plants to enhance ripening and size of existing maturing fruits. If squash and cucumber plants show powdery mildew, cut off affected areas. Har vest onions when about half the tops of the onions in your patch have fallen over. Brush the dirt off and leave in the sun to cure for a week. Harvest potatoes when the foliage dies back. Harvest garlic early in the month when 4-5 leaves are still green. Lift garlic bulbs gently, brush off dirt, cure until shoots and roots are dry (4-6 weeks).

The grind before hitting the gridiron SHS football squad preps for season at Sequim’s SportsFit by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

In one half of the gym, a dozenplus boys raise a thick rope above their heads and prepare for their next bit of physical exertion. In the other, another dozen hurl slabs of metal and plastic, lifting them to the sky and dropping them in thunderous booms and clangs. And throughout, sweat and smiles. So this is football before football. The old cliche about football season being won in the offseason — and more pointedly in the weight room — is getting a bit of a new As coach Chris Young looks on, lineman Matthew Schock races through a drill at SportsFit Training Center.

“I’ve been around the system for four years,” says the senior-to-be. “It’s nice to step up and do my part.” While one group — the larger bodies that typify the lineman physique — hit weights, the rest of the team work on combining strength and agility, and then the groups switch. Julmist says the teens are not necessarily 100 percent on board when they start, but they are after a couple of weeks. Part of it, she says, is encouragement from other players. “It’s all group training here,” she says. “It’s more energy, more fun.” (SportsFit also sees athletes from other SHS teams train there, from softball to soccer.) Ty Jones, a running back and free safety on the field, started with SportsFit’s regimen last year and, like Moroles, has seen benefits. Jones says that while holding that thick rope above his head for minutes on end while doing various movements is tough, the toughest might be the quarter-mile kettle bell lunge lap around the SportFit facility. In the end, though, Jones and Wolves teammates — about 30 are consistently hitting the gym this summer, one hour a day for four days each week — hope the effort is worth it. “We have to try as a unit,” Jones said. “Last year, it was little mistakes. Most of the time we were the better

I think there will be a big difference.” Reach Gazette editor Michael Dashiell at editor@sequimgazette. com.

School supply drive The Sequim School District, First Teacher and the Boys & Girls Club have rallied together to make sure that all students start the school year with the tools they need for success. Every child wants to begin the year with new school clothes, a backpack and the school supplies required for their classroom. Unfortunately, many families can’t afford these back-to-school necessities. The summer club attendees raided the art room and produced amazing banners for last Saturday’s “Stuff the Bus” event and several others were out there soliciting community support. School supplies may dropped off at the School District office or the Boys & Girls Club until 6 p.m., Monday-Friday. All collected items will be sorted and distributed at the Back To School Resource Fair on Saturday, Aug. 23.

You are what you eat. Eating and food certainly play a dominant role in all our lives, including kids! We built on last week’s theme of fitness and health to teach members how to make healthy choices and to make good decisions related to diet and their general well-being. Members learned the difference between processed foods and natural foods and where they come from. ChooseMyPlate.gov, a federal government website, offers kids and adults information, games and activities and our members spent time researching what makes a healthy meal on this site. We hope more families will explore this site. Last Wednesday’s session included a discussion about appropriate portion size and how to read the nutrition facts on food packaging. Small groups were each given a beverage to study. Within the group they reviewed the nutritional information of one beverage and made a poster illustrating the amount of calories, sugar or any other vitamins or protein. Before the week was over, kids partook in an activity called “Snack Attack.” Members worked in small groups to plan healthy snacks for a variety of occasions and presented findings to each other. Instructor Jan Eadie is thrilled to see their group skills developing as the summer progresses. Thursday attendees watched some fascinating videos about what breakfast and school lunches look like in the United States and several other countries. We discovered, among other things, that eggs, sausage and cereal are really popular breakfast foods around the world. At the conclusion, the kids researched one specific country’s food. Our members — at least the ones who are participating in Brain Gain this summer — generally have an understanding of healthy foods, due in no small part to the nutritious, well-balanced and well-prepared meals and

The PGA Sports Academy was launched in 2012 and has expanded its program to 100 Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide – adding the Sequim clubhouse as one of the 25 new sites in 2014. In April we implemented a five-week class with Tyler Sweet serving as the instructor. He taught basic skills, rules of golf in addition to coordinating contests and games to reinforce both the fun of the game and skill development. Last week’s repeat session led by unit director Dave Miller reinforced skills for prior participants and introduced the game to new kids. The camp will run one more session this fall to allow new golfers more time to practice.

Price Ford donates $6K+ to Sequim High School On May 4, Price Ford conducted its first Drive One 4 Your School Fundraiser for Sequim High School. For the first time held in Sequim, the event raised $6,664 that will go to the Junior Class Associate Student Body, according to Joel Elliot, sales manager and event coordinator for Price Ford in Port Angeles. Elliot said, “306 people came out to take a new Ford or Lincoln for a test drive.” “It’s always a pleasure to see such a multitude of people come out and support the community and its schools,” said David Price, owner of Price Ford. Price Ford has raised just over

$36,000 for Sequim and Port Angeles high schools through the Drive One 4 Your School Campaigns. “The Drive One 4 Your School event is a great opportunity to work with the high school students in supporting our school while also showcasing our Ford and Lincoln vehicles,” Price said. Nationwide, over $40 million has been raised for high school activities since 2007 when Ford Motor Company’s Drive One 4 Your School program began. The next scheduled Drive One 4 Your School Fundraiser will be Sunday, Oct. 5, to benefit Port Angeles High School.

Bonding versus spoiling In the first years of life, parents and others in contact with the new baby lay the foundation for all that is to come. It isn’t just the foundation for learning but it is also the foundation for the child’s social-emotional learning. It is a critical foundation for life. It begins with birth. Babies cry. Parents are conflicted. They have heard they need to bond with their new baby but they also worry that they might respond too much to this new little person. Every contact you have with your new baby causes you to bond with her. Bonding is complicated and sometimes takes time. As long as you take care of your baby’s basic needs and cuddle with

Parenting Matters Cynthia Martin

her regularly, she won’t suffer if you don’t feel a strong bond at first sight. Being a new parent is very tiring. If you had a long, difficult delivery, you may need to feel better before you can concentrate on bonding with your baby. Your baby is a new person in your life. Give yourself time to get to know her. A few things can help the process along.

• Have some skin-to-skin cuddle time where you hold her and stroke her gently. Human touch is soothing for both you and your baby. • Look into your baby’s eyes and talk and sing to her regularly. • From the beginning days, talk with your baby. With every word, you are teaching her. Your baby is listening. • If your baby has to spend some time in intensive care and is hooked up to wires and monitors, ask the hospital staff to help you safely touch and hold your baby. Over time, you’ll get to know and enjoy your newborn, learn how to comfort her and your feelings will deepen. And one day – maybe

the first time you see her smile – you’ll look at your baby and realize you’re filled completely with love and joy.

Crying, trying On the opposite side, parents want to do the right thing when their new baby cries. At times they aren’t sure whether it is best to respond each time the baby cries or if this will teach the baby to cry. You don’t spoil a newborn. Newborns cry because they have basic needs; they cry to be fed, held, comforted and loved. Your job is to respond to those needs and wants as best you can. When you respond to her cries, you’re teaching her to feel secure and confident. That security and confidence will result in less crying and more independence in the long run. When babies feel a deep

trust in their parents they are more likely to develop a secure sense of self that helps them later on. Your behavior toward her teaches her to trust you and the world. So each time you or your partner quickly responds to your infant’s cries for food, a cuddle or help nodding off to sleep, you’re reinforcing the notion that you’ll be there for your little one and that she can count on you. This notion will not spoil a newborn but will instead help her develop a healthy bond with you, her parents. It will let your infant know she’s loved. A baby who’s secure in her bond with her parents is a happier, less needy baby. This baby as she becomes older will have the courage to take on the world. Once your baby gets to be about 6 months old, however, her wants will become more

known and they are not in the same category as her needs. She may want to pull your hair or bite your shoulder. This kind of behavior might necessitate setting some limits and teaching discipline. She is now old enough to understand that Mommy or Daddy don’t always give her what she wants, but they still love her. She has truly bonded with you and hopefully you with her. There is much more to say about the lessons left to teach, but that is enough for now. Cynthia Martin is the founder of the First Teacher program and director of Parenting Matters Foundation, which publishes newsletters for parents, caregivers and grandparents.

After at least 20 minutes of playing with and petting the kittens, slipping out the door without them in tow was difficult. A few of the kittens lined up at the glass door and meowed for more playtime. Once I was able to pry myself away from the kitten room, the tour of the cat castle continued. Each cat “suite” was thoughtfully dec-

orated both inside and out. The cats can leisurely enjoy a grand view of the Safe Haven property from their private balconies on patio furniture fit for a person. After taking in the sights with the cats upstairs, we continued with the tour to the first floor and I met many more cats. There was Joey, Sitka, Billie Blue, Sonny, Alex, Gravy, Junior, Peeka and Boo … just to name a few. The cats’ suites varied in sizes, but nearly all the rooms were far bigger than my own bedroom. Each suite housed two to three cats, and similar to the upstair suites, the cats are able to roam inside their plush apartments or venture into their personal outdoor area with handcrafted jungle gyms.

Outside, wide planks above your head connect one wood sculpture to the next, allowing the cats to climb or lounge whenever they please within the intricately designed structures with varying levels and hide-away places for the more shy cats. The tour completed once we arrived at a wall nearly twice my height stacked with bags of cat litter. The organization gets a better deal if it orders cat litter in bulk and with many mouths to feed, every penny saved helps. I was amazed by the amount of resources it takes to keep Peninsula Friends of Animals going. My first time visiting Peninsula Friends of Animals, and marking my personal best at the most cats pet in one day, was a bit of an emotional

Sequim’s Olympic Theatre Arts has announced it will open its 2014-2015 season on Sept. 5 with Neil Simon’s “Rose’s Dilemma.” Directed by Karen Hogan, the comedy features cast members Sharon DelaBarre, Tom Darter, Jennifer Sies and Dalton Williamson. “‘Rose’s Dilemma’ has the quick humor and snappy banter Simon is known for,” Hogan said. “Rose is a writer who is facing financial disaster and has terminal writer’s block. Her dead lover comes back to help her overcome it. Think ‘The Ghost and Mrs. Muir’ meets Lillian Hellman and Dashiell Hammett. It’s funny and poignant and, in the end, let’s us know that love endures.” “Rose’s Dilemma” opens Sept.

5 and runs through Sept. 21, with performances on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. A $10 preview (free for OTA members) is Sept. 4 and a pay what you will performance is offered Sept. 11. All performances are at Olympic Theatre Arts Center, 414 N. Sequim Ave. Ticket prices for regular performances are $16 or $14 for OTA members and military personnel. Children 16 and younger are $10. For more information or to buy tickets, call the theater company’s box office at 683-7326, open from 1-5 p.m., MondayFriday. Or buy tickets online at www.olympictheatrearts.org. Internet users may visit OTA on Facebook (www.facebook. com/olympictheatrearts) to see “Rose’s Dilemma” progress from page to stage.

roller coaster. One moment I was filled with excitement in the opportunity to meet this many cats and the next moment I was overwhelmed with an unforgiving urge to give them all a home. Each cat had a different story, some sad, some just simply a matter of unfortunate circumstances, but the silver lining to each cats’ story was their shared ending — being at Safe Haven. For information on Peninsula Friends of Animals, call 452-0414, e-mail pfoa@ olypen.com or visit www. safehavenpfoa.org. Also, Peninsula Friends of Animals actively is seeking volunteers with computer skills to assist with office management. Reach Alana Linderoth at alinderoth@sequimgazette. com.
