Cracked SHS tennis courts to reopen soon

by MATTHEW NASH Officials with the City of Sequim are looking to restructure residents’ water utility rates by volume. A proposed ordinance would switch the city from charging different amounts for rate-payers such as single-family and multifamily residences and commercial locations, to three levels based on water volume for all users. By doing so, certain rate-payers’ water bills could go up to 4 percent depending on if they switch classifications by usage. The new usage rates, or tiers, would be 0-600 cubic feet for tier 1, 601-1,599 for tier 2, and 1,600-plus for tier 3. Currently, Sequim residents pay base rates on two tiers — below and above 800 cubic feet. In the proposal, 190 customers would move up to tier 2 and pay up to $5 more per month for water and sewer. Sequim Public Work s Director Paul Haines said one part of their reasoning in the orhaines dinance is to inspire conservation. “We have to have some way for people to think about the water they are using,” he said. “The more they control what their bill is, the better chance they have of making it effective.” He said the current structure didn’t provide incentive for residents to put in low flow devices because the City didn’t use a consumptive rate. “It pays them back to do reduced rate fixtures,” Haines said.

Two closed tennis courts at Sequim High School are set to reopen soon. In September, a plywood board blocked off the entrance to the courts after large cracks across the courts were deemed unsafe to play on. Rather than pay for an overhaul that could cost tens of thousands of dollars, staff at the Sequim School District are opting to use a product made for tennis courts to patch long and deep cracks in the courts. John McAndie, maintenance and operations supervisor, said the product expands in the cracks and takes time to cure. Maintenance staff began working on the courts two weeks ago applying the green and red product. They’ve used a floor machine and sanding discs typically used on gym floors to even out the product. McAndie said they’ve placed about $1,000 worth of product in the cracks, but some cracks are so large they’ll have to reapply materials and sand those spots again. mcandie “We want to get them back in use and this is how we’re going to try,” he said. The Sequim-Dungeness area hosts three public accessible courts at the school and two at Sunland Country Club & Golf Course. The school district allows the public to use their tennis and pickleball courts during school hours if students are not using the courts. Because of a lack of space and daylight hours, Justine Wagner, Sequim High tennis team head coach, said she’s had to alter practices and home matches. At home matches, junior varsity players haven’t been able to play either, Wagner said,

Sequim Gazette

For the past 15 years Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife officials, with the support of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, have collaborated with the North Olympic Salmon Coalition staff and countless volunteers to restore a self-sustaining population of summer chum salmon to Jimmycomelately Creek. This year’s survey season will come to a close at the end of the month, but to date 2,100 fish have made it back and are spawning throughout and above the first mile of creek, Cheri Scalf, project lead and scientific technician with WDFW, said. Summer chum salmon in the Hood Canal area were listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act in 1999. That same year only seven summer chum were documented to return to Jimmycomelately Creek, just a few miles east of Sequim. However, last year more than 8,000 summer chum returned to Jimmycomelately Creek. Despite fluctuation since 1999, the overall trend is an increasing one. Although this year the summer chum numbers are down from 2013, it is likely because of a recent toxic algae (heterosigma) bloom in Sequim Bay that has killed hundreds of the summer chum salmon before they made it into the creek, Scalf said. Additionally, warm

ect, WDFW officials harvested the eggs from a portion of the returning female chum (a female chum salmon has an average of 25,000 eggs) from 1999-2010 and reared them in remote locations, but still within the Jimmycomelately Creek watershed to ensure proper imprinting. Adding to the ongoing conservation efforts, by 2004 the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe had restored the creek’s natural channel and accomplished major habitat restoration work. Between the restored habitat and supplementation of “program fish” (fish reared at remote locations), the years of work at Jimmycomelately Creek appear to be a success, Scalf said. Scalf, with the help of the NOSC volunteers and volunteer “citizen scientists,” is able to document the returning 3-, 4- and sometimes 5-year-old fish shortly after they have spawned and died. Scalf does this by taking scale samples, measuring the length and removing the two “ear stones” known as otoliths. Otoliths are found in all fish species, sharks, rays and lampreys, and help with balance in a similar way the human inner ear provides balance. Under a microscope, otoliths appear to have similar rings denoting a growth pattern, much like trees. By studying the ring pattern of the otoliths, WDFW officials are able to determine whether the fish is a program or a wild fish and what location the fish was reared at if it is a program fish. Scalf considers the otoliths to be like a “biological bar code.” By slightly manipulating water temperature at the different hatchery locations, the growth pattern of the otoliths mirror the changes. This technique was preferred to similar identification methods, such as fin clips, because the fish were far too small to handle and if handled the mortality rate would likely outweigh the benefits, Scalf said. With the couple remaining weeks of the survey season, Scalf’s goal at Jimmycomelately Creek is to collect at least 300 sets of otoliths to get a representative ratio of wild and program fish returning to the creek. The ongoing work at Jimmycomelately Creek is just one of many similar projects. For more information, visit nosc.org.

WAG volunteers celebrate property purchase Half-Way Home Ranch becomes a reality Sequim Gazette staff

Volunteers with the Welfare for Animals Guild purchased the property at 751 McComb Road Tuesday, Sept. 30. WAG officials have been working toward the purchase of a piece of property with the vision of turning it into the organization’s home-base for more than two years and felt they finally found the perfect place when the McComb Nursery went on the market. Through the volunteers’ dedication to fundraise and with the help of an anonymous donation, the 2.33 acres was purchased by WAG for $365,000. “This place has so much potential for us,” Barb Brabant, volunteer board member, said. “We are all so excited. It is going to be a true labor of love.” WAG officials hope to have the property up and running by spring, but they also want to properly prepare given they need to meet all the conditions set the county’s hearing examiner Mark Nichols during their conditional use permitting process. “We want to be good neighbors,” Judy Stirton, WAG president, said.

If two days of feting the succulent Dungeness Crab is good, why not go for three days? Thousands of locals and area visitors alike are expected to flock to the 2014 Dungeness Crab & Seafood Festival, expanded to a three-day format Oct. 10-12 on the Port Angeles waterfront. W hite House chef John Moeller headlines the festival that caters to culinary enthusiasts from across the U.S. and Canada. “People have such a good time,” says Kelly Jo Hill, volunteer director and dining room manager for the event. “It’s just a fun atmosphere. People … are acting silly, wearing crab hats, letting loose and having fun. That’s what brings me back.” Under an enlarged (11,000-square-foot) Crab Central Pavilion, crab-lovers can eat their fill from 12:30 p.m.-10 p.m. on Friday, 11 a.m.-10 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on Sunday. In addition to the traditional crab feed — featuring fresh, locally caught whole Dungeness crabs — hungry attendees can get their hands on locally grown corn-on-the-cob and fresh cole slaw. The Crab Central Big Top will house 12 local and regional restaurants where fresh seafood, nonseafood and vegetarian dishes will be served-up, plus a beer and wine garden. “It’s still a family-friendly event,” Hill says. The event has become quite popular with the Canadian crowd, Hill notes, as Black Ball Ferry Line’s M.V. Coho staffers promote a “Save a Turkey and Eat a Crab” promotion. “We fill the ferry (that weekend),” Hill says.

Chefs on display Moeller prepared and presented cuisine for three First Families during the administrations of Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. On Saturday and Sunday afternoons, Moeller appears on the Chef Demonstration Stage at the Gateway Center to demo his favorite recipes of the presidents, tell stories from the White House kitchen and sign copies of his book, “Dining at the White House – from the President’s Table to Yours.” Four renowned Northwest chefs and select moeller local talent share the Demonstration Stage with Moeller throughout the weekend. Among the guest chefs include: Bill Ranniger, corporate executive chef at Duke’s Chowder House and Cynthia Nims, cookbook author and consultant. Local talent includes chefs from Blondie’s Plate and Kokopelli Grill. “Each of the chefs come in and present a meal and (people) get to sample it,” Hill says. “It’s like a cooking show in person.”

Court discussions Members of the Peninsula Tennis Club said they’ve discussed the tennis court issues for a number of years with the school district and City of Sequim. Allison Hastings, past-president of the club, said they brought in a contractor in 2010 who estimated costs at $66,000 to repair the five school district courts – resurfacing the top three and placing new asphalt and materials on the bottom two. “We tried to raise (the money) but it got tricky,” she said. “The school district has been very gracious but the idea was that if we give out this money there’s no guarantee we can use these courts with boys tennis in the fall, girls tennis in spring and with the P.E. classes.” Peninsula Tennis Club member Peter Ignatjev said the club has offered a split financing plan for the courts to the city, schools and club, but to no avail so far. Ignatjev and many of the 60-plus club members have been writing to Sequim City Councilors for support, he said. However, officials with the city and schools maintain there are no shortterm plans to build new courts. Hastings said since she’s lived here the last 16 years the city has put in place long-term plans for tennis courts but not acted on them. “We’ve been hearing about plans for years and years,” she said.

state that the city has identified $33 million and $34 million worth of projects for water and sewer over 20 years with $9 million and $11 million paid for by developers. Haines said many residents will likely not see an across the board 4 percent increase. “(The city) is doing its best on how to calculate fairness,” Haines said. “We’re trying not to load up additional expense in one year. Most of the customers would stay below a 4 percent increase total.” As part of the 4 percent revenue need, city staff is looking to make changes to its sewer base rate.

John McAndie, maintenance and operations supervisor for Sequim School District, said heat differences between colors likely led to large cracks to form in the Sequim High School tennis courts.

As tennis club president, Hastings said she approached the then-Sequim School District superintendent and Sequim City Manager and was told neither entity had enough money for courts. She and many other tennis players advocated for “The Bubble,” an inflatable dome, in 2011, to go in place at the high school. The Sequim School Board, however, unanimously voted down the idea after hearing testimony from school staff about costs, esthetics, space and possible vandalism. Hastings said a private donation of $200,000 would have paid to resurface/ redo the courts but stipulated it must be for indoor courts. Ignatjev said ideally tennis players would like four lighted tennis courts and four pickleball courts at Carrie Blake Park. He said funds are still available to help with such a project and that the

Commercial and residential users who use 600-799 cubic feet of sewer services have until April to adjust their flows to less than 600 for savings, said Sarah VanAusdle, public works management analyst. VanAusdle said the idea is to promote conservation. Commercial locations are charged a base rate and per usage but residences are charged a base rate of $57.55 for under 800 cubic feet or $66.78 for more.

Businesses respond While forming the proposed ordinance, city staff spoke with 33 high volume water/sewer businesses including Sequim

Shea’s initial proposal is at about $46 million. Acquiring la nd, which school and City of Sequim officials note would likely go to the east of Sequim proper, would boost the proposal about $2 million. The board has yet to

offer is still on the table. Representatives with the City of Sequim said any plans for tennis courts would come out of the soon-to-be updated City’s Parks Master Plan where they’ll prioritize projects. Many projects within city limits such as the Sequim-Shiso Friendship Garden, the Guy Cole Convention Center and the Albert Haller Playfields have been pushed forward by community groups because the city doesn’t have dedicated funding for parks and recreation, city representatives said. Sequim Schools Superintendent Kelly Shea said the school district doesn’t have money budgeted for the courts this year, but they were included in the failed proposed $154 million April bond. Tennis courts, however, are not included in Shea’s preliminary bond proposal to the school board of $46 million.

School District, SARC, adult care facilities, hotel/motels and multifamiliy facilities. Some of the comments from the adult care facilities said they will have to pass along increased rates to residents. They also want changes more gradually. Hotel/Motel owners wanted more control over water consumption but many felt going towards more volume usage rates was right because their expenses are more based on occupancy. Multi-family residences also wanted the proposal phased in and discounts for being higher density. Some proposals in the ordi-

solidify the bond construction proposal, though, with other construction items left on the proverbial table. They include: major remodeling of the district base kitchen, transforming some science classrooms at Sequim High School into general education classrooms, remodeling of the current Helen Haller building for Olympic Peninsula Academy classes, and remodeling the Sequim Community School gymnasium into a district warehouse and maintenance shop. The board meets again at 6 p.m. on Oct. 20 at the district boardroom, 533 N. Sequim Ave.

Watching dollars District business manager Brian Lewis said Sequim schools are eligible for some state match funds to help with construction. Those

nance respond to this by eliminating additional utility charges for commercial businesses, setting multi-family rates at 95 percent and hotel/motel rates at 75 percent of single family residences, and classifying adult care facilities as multi-family customers. VanAusdle said many of the residents in multi-family residences like apartments and modular home homes average 450 cubic feet of water per month and likely are going to be unaffected by the changes. For more information on the proposed ordinance, visit http:// pnw.cc/CpaY8.

funds, however, come with a catch, Lewis said. The district would have to add more than $6 million in “minor modernizations” to Greywolf Elementary to get about $2 million in state funds, or close portions of Helen Haller Element ar y lewis School to be eligible for other state funds. “Closing of the current Helen H a ller Elemen tary School to educational purposes really ties our hands,” Lewis said. Lewis said district and state officials are looking into the possibility that Sequim schools would be eligible for state funding if the district declared the unused portion of Sequim Communit y School a s surplus. Sequim resident Jer-

ry Sinn asked that the board consider taking design plans from Greywolf, S e q u i m ’s e l e m e n t a r y school in Carlsborg, for planning purposes in constructing the new elementary school. Sin n a lso a sked t he board to consider developing a volunteer committee to help with design and engineering review. “Considering that a significant portion of building a new facility is related to design and engineering requirements, this recommendation could result in appreciable savings for the district,” Sinn said. Lewis said the district would save about $400,000 in costs by using plans from an existing school. Howe said he’d be interested in such an approach. “I’m looking at ways to lessen the impact on the community,” Howe said.

is better than nothing,” Doherty said during the board’s regular meeting, Tuesday, Oct. 7. The approved interim ordinance will become effective the day of adoption and will automatically expire after six months. “Hopefully we’ll have this back to us soon, and the DCD and Planning Commission can work quickly to get more a permanent ordinance,” Doherty said. After sending the interim ordinance back to the DCD and Planning Commission for further revisions following the board’s lack of action at both the public hearing Sept. 23 and the regular meeting Sept. 30, officials with DCD and planning commission members have collaborated to produce a hybrid of the original interim ordinance. Following the board’s work session Monday, Oct. 6, the commissioners leaned toward the approval of a joint

version of the interim ordinance that included both the DCD’s and Planning Commission’s recommendations because to vote on the Planning Commission’s recommendation alone would require an additional public hearing. Veering from the original proposal that was drafted by DCD officials and discussed during a public hearing, the now approved interim ordinance includes larger parcel size requirements for I-502 facilities, greater property line setbacks and all business activities must be done within permitted structures (within certain zones). Despite the Planning Commission’s desire to prohibit all I-502 activity from residential areas, the approved interim ordinance still allows for that possibility to occur. However, the “key thing that takes a lot of land off the table” within residential areas is the increased minimum parcel size of 15 acres, Tom Montgomery, planning commission member, said. The interim ordinance also includes

However, all producers and processors within these areas are subject to specific conditions set by the interim ordinance and recommended by the Planning Commission. “Tier 3 in Agricultural Retention was added” as an allowed use based on one commissioner’s request, Sheila Roark Miller, DCD director, told the commissioners. Allowing the I-502 industry within Agricultural Retention zones creates another way to potentially preserve farmland, Roark Miller said. Looking ahead, Montgomery said the Planning Commission is prepared to focus on a permanent ordinance and should have a product well before the interim ordinance expires in six months. The DCD has yet to receive any additional I-502-related applications since the end of August, but have eight permits pending that will not be impacted by the interim ordinance.

Of all of Mary Lou’s passions, she was “crazy” about her grandkids! When Laurie and Judy were young, Mary Lou helped with bookkeeping at Duke’s Automotive, served as a Girl Scout Leader and was a frequent co-conspirator in Duke’s many jokes. She was also superb at crafting costumes; Kiddy’s parade costumes and floats; and appearing with Duke in all sorts of getups at the annual American Legion Halloween parties. When Shelli and Cindy were young she expanded on her interest in art; taking classes and painting first in oil, then water colors, pastels and the occasional acrylic. Her passion for painting never waned. Mary Lou was also a founding member of the Blue Whole Gallery and longtime member of Sequim Arts. Her art was regularly featured at the gallery. Until very recently you could find her working a shift there and extolling the virtues of the many artists displayed at the gallery. Mary Lou was also a founding member of Sequim 2000 and was instrumental in championing the rebirth of Downtown Sequim, after the implementation of the by-pass, and the creation of the Sequim 2000

Our dear Mom passed away in the early morning at her home on Sequim Bay after a brave and brief battle with cancer. Born Marion Louise Torget, in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood, to Norwegian immigrants Paul and Mary (Elvestad) Torget, Mom was always known as Mary Lou and much preferred it! She was fondly known as “D.O.M.” (“Dear Old Mom”) by her sons-in-law Ken, and later Bill. However once she had grandchildren she would be forever known as Granny. As a young teenager she moved to Port Angeles and in 1953 she moved to Sequim where she resided for the following 60 plus years. Mary Lou and Stanley Duane “Duke,” now deceased, were married in Port Angeles on December 31, 1946. They moved to Sequim when Duke opened his ﬁrst gas station – a Flying A – on Washington Street near what is now known as Creamery Square. Over the years Mary Lou and Duke were active in the Lion’s Club, where they were charter members, and the Irrigation Festival – chairing the event twice in the early 60s. The gas station evolved into a full service automotive and towing business. Located originally on Etta Street, Dukes Automotive was ultimately moved to East Washington. For many years Mary Lou and Duke and family lived in the house immediately adjacent to the wrecking yard and in front of the airstrip!

2014 ELECTIONS: District Court I Judge

Porter hopes to hold down position

Election gives Marshall chance for change

Judge pursues his fourth consecutive win

Challenger seeks to bring refreshed outlook

by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

District Court 1 Judge Rick Porter is once again campaigning to maintain his position. Having won the last three elections as judge and in the midst of his 12th year, Porter’s pursuit to “change lives for the better” as judge continues. Following his completion of law school at the University of Puget Sound, Porter went to work as a public defender in Wenatchee, but didn’t stay in order to join the United States Air Force as a Judge Advocate General. Porter spent time in both Germany and porter Italy while in the military, but after meeting his wife and the makings of family began to appear on the horizon, Porter decided to return to Washington and eventually to Port Angeles in 1998. Prior to becoming the judge for District Court 1 in 2002, Porter worked for the prosecuting attorney’s office where he acted as the senior felony deputy. Despite having spent the majority of his career practicing criminal law, Porter has experience at a variety of courts including District Court, Superior Court, Appellate Court and military court-martials. After practicing at both District and Superior Courts, Porter prefers working within the District Court because he feels he gets to “intervene in peoples’ lives at a much earlier stage in their criminal behavior,” and thus has a greater opportunity to correct criminal behavior earlier on, Porter said. “To a large extent the judge sets the standard for a community based on how they administer their court and how much accountability is applied,” Porter said. “Unlike Superior Court, the judges in District Court has a great deal of discretion as to how they are going to administer their court.” Given the wide range and types of cases the District Court deals with, Porter handled more than 9,000 cases in 2013. Though, Porter admits it is partly this sheer volume that keeps him interested in the position as District Court 1 Judge because “the thing that is most satisfying about the job is the lives you can change,” Porter said. The satisfaction of positively impacting an individual’s life may be one of the driving forces behind Porter’s desire to maintain his position as judge, but this does not happen without challenges. One of the greatest challenges Porter faces in District Court is “inner-generational crime,” Porter said. “There have actually been times

when I’ve had a grandfather, a father and a son in jail at the same time for the same type of criminal behavior,” Porter said. “And that is so hard to deal with because when somebody grows up in an environment and it’s filled with drugs, alcohol and criminal behavior it becomes the norm. It’s very difficult to correct that kind of behavior when that’s all that individual has ever known.” In addition to the challenge of dealing with inner-generational crime, Porter said the “one most common denominator” for criminal behavior and recidivism is linked to individuals that don’t complete high school. “I think this is significant problem in Clallam County, especially with the limitation of jobs for the younger demographic already,” Porter said. “When somebody drops out of high school and they are no longer competitive and can’t work, it then becomes a cycle of poverty and crime that we see.” To promote those that never received a high school diploma to get a general equivalency diploma (GED), Porter recently has implemented the incentive of reducing up to $2,000 for individuals that owe fines, but choose to get their GED. “If we could decrease the high school drop-out rate, or at least get people to go back and get their GED and be employable so they can get a job, that would have the biggest impact on reducing crime in our community,” Porter said. One of the most well-known programs Porter established as District Court 1 Judge, and one that his campaign opponent, Cathy Marshall, would prefer to replace by utilizing a collection agency is the Pay or Appear program. “Nobody goes to jail because they can’t pay their fines with this program,” Porter said. People on the Pay or Appear program only goes to jail if they refuse to pay their fines, refuse to do community service work and refuse to showup to court when they’re ordered to be in court, Porter said. Some of the benefits of the Pay or Appear program include increased revenues, increased community service and increased options for the offender, Porter said. “Really, the most important part of this Pay or Appear program is the issue of accountability,” Porter said. “The court should take responsibility to make sure the defendant does what they’re actually ordered to do,” Porter said. Although Porter still recognizes challenges within the community, Porter is overall pleased with the progress he’s made at District Court 1, such as increased efficiency with processing time. “Over the years we have established one of the most effective courts in the state,” Porter said. “And I would like to continue to improve.”

by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

With the District Court 1 Judge chair soon up for grabs, Cathy Marshall, section chief of the Port Angeles Attorney General Regional Office, feels it is “time for a change and a new perspective.” Having moved to Sequim nearly five years ago from Birch Bay, Marshall maintained her position as a Washington State Assistant Attorney General and continued her work with the Attorney General Regional Services in Port Angeles. For the past three years Marshall has acted as the secmarshall tion chief of the Port Angeles Regional Office while upholding her own caseload that includes the Department of Labor and Industries, the Department of Social and Health Services, the Department of Early Learning, Peninsula College, the Department of Licensing and the Employment Security Department. “Most of my career has been spent doing public service law and the last four and a half years that I’ve been here I’ve heard some things that have been going on in District Court that were a little disturbing to me,” Marshall said. Thus, Marshall decided to be proactive and with the aspiration to help more people, she opted to run in the upcoming election to become the judge for District Court 1. Although Marshall’s education did not begin in law, but in journalism, she felt a law degree would strengthen her stills as a journalist and soon discovered that she “really enjoyed being in court,” Marshall said. Following her move from her hometown of Prosser to study mass communications at the University of Utah, Marshall continued with her education and graduated from J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University in 1993. Marshall was editor for two newspapers before truly delving into her legal career through private practice, followed by six years as a public defender in Yakima and has since devoted the past nine and a half years of her career with the with the Attorney General Regional Services. “I have such a large concept and philosophy that it is hard to put into words sometimes because there’s so much involved, but my idea of District Court judge is someone who applies the law fairly to everyone who comes into the courtroom, someone who is willing to listen and to make unbiased decisions.” Because District Court serves

everything from small traffic infractions, criminal misdemeanors to civil cases, small claims cases and so on, the court handles a large case volume each year and the judge interacts with thousands of individuals. The high volume of interaction between judge and community is one of the reasons Marshall is pursuing position as District Court 1 Judge. “District Court is often one of the places where people first encounter the legal system and it should be a place where people learn respect for the system,” Marshall said. “As judge you have the ability to make a positive impact on many lives and I feel I could both do this and provide some new perspective.” The large caseload of District Court is both a platform for positive change, but also creates one of the biggest challenges for a District Court judge, Marshall said. To allow everyone “their day in court” in a fast-paced court is what Marshall considers an important and challenging aspect as judge. Despite the final ruling, Marshall said it is of the upmost importance provide the opportunity for everyone “to be heard.” Among Marshall’s goals as potential District Court 1 Judge is to increase the effectiveness of the specialized courts, such as the DUI court. Marshall also would like to implement additional specialized courts including a mental health court. As with most counties, and particularly rural counties, Marshall interprets drug and alcohol abuse a major concern within Clallam County and would like to better incorporate the legal system to explore the root and causation of the problems rather than just the aftermath. One of the major changes Marshall would like to implement, or rather remove from District Court 1, is the Pay or Appear program. “To me it (Pay or Appear program) is preying on the poorest of the poor,” Marshall said. “There are other ways to deal with this that does not involve jail time for fines, which I think is improper use of jails.” In addition the Pay or Appear program has cost the City of Port Angeles to exceed its criminal justice budget primarily because of increased jail time and the associated expenses, Marshall said. Instead of continuing to use the Pay or Appear program, Marshall suggest using a collection agency similar to District Court 2. “I think it’s important that people are held responsible for their crimes and fines, and I don’t have any intention on being soft on crime, but there are other ways to deal with fines other than jail time,” Marshall said. “I think a District Court judge can offer people hope and help, and that’s my goal.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bruch has needed experience

Sissi Bruch’s willingness to serve as Clallam County commissioner gives us an exceptional opportunity for outstanding leadership. Her personal and professional life provides evidence of her dedication to public service. It includes a decade of contributing to Clallam County. Currently a senior planner for the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, she also is an elected Port Angeles City Council member and serves on city committees. She is a past member of the Port Angeles Planning Commission. Her experience in private business includes 10 years as a professional planner, designer and project manager for residential and business developments, schools, golf courses and reclamation sites. As a member of the Planning Board in Lansing, Mich., she reviewed budgets, ordinances and planning documents. Her work included a trail project and redesign of a river front. With university degrees in psychology, landscape architecture and urban planning and contributions to national and international publications, Dr. Bruch has taught at major universities. We need her abilities and experience in the position where the retiring county commissioner has served us well. We are fortunate indeed to have her as a candidate. Robbie and Jim Mantooth Port Angeles

Porter earns my vote

For years (usually at election time) certain people around here express misgivings and anger about the highly successful Pay-Or-Appear Program in Judge Rick Porter’s District Court I. Recently, the topic reared its ugly head yet again, when the judge’s opponent was quoted as saying Pay or Appear “ … preys on the poorest of the poor.” Really? Why keep bashing a program that holds people liable for their actions (many of them repeat offenders), and that generates revenue for the county? Remember: Under

NOTICE TO OWNERS OF UNCLAIMED PROPERT Y

Pay-Or-Appear, nobody goes to jail if they appear before Judge Porter to explain why they can’t pay a fine. The judge does a fine job of holding lawbreakers’ feet to the fire. Imagine: Lawbreakers actually having to answer to charges the police have filed. But if they’re unable to pay, they can work off the fines through community service. Somebody explain to me why that’s a bad thing. Judge Porter’s opponent is spouting the same tired rhetoric as opponents in previous campaigns have: turning over unpaid fines to collection agencies. Well, guess what? That doesn’t work! Need proof? Judge Porter’s predecessor did that, and the county commissioners had to subsidize his courtroom: District Court I was over $1 million in arrears in 2002 when Judge Porter initiated Pay-Or-Appear. So why do his opponents keep whacking him and a program that’s so obviously effective? Simple. They have no real issues with which to attack him, so they’re manufacturing one. Re-elect Judge Rick Porter. Paul Martin Port Angeles

Bruch will represent all of Clallam County

I attended three Sissi Bruch-William Peach forums for their bid for County Commissioner. I am struck by the fact Peach continually talks about representing Forks and about his knowledge of that area. Mr. Peach impresses me he thinks this election and his service is just for Forks. Does he not realize that District 3 begins in the City of Port Angeles; that area in which Sissi Bruch resides and which voted her their representative on the Port Angeles City Council? The General election cycle is not only about District 3. It is about the entire county, from Diamond Point to the Pacific Coast. Sissi Bruch speaks about representing the county — all three districts. She understands Districts 2 and 3 because she represents parts of each on the City Council and, by the way, in the Primary Election, District 3 gave her the higher number of votes. Sissi Bruch has 15 years experience representing communities as both an elected and appointed official. She understands the three districts have commonalities and differences and that learning each of their needs is paramount to well serving the entire County. Like retiring District 3 commissioner Mike Doherty, who appears at multiple events in all three districts to stay informed on district overlapping and competing needs, Sissi Bruch will do the same. She will represent the entire County. Vote for Sissi Bruch for Clallam County Commissioner, a well-informed and experienced candidate with a view to learn from and serve all of us.

Council makes wise choice

We have the Sequim City Council to thank for their unanimous vote to reject the Freedom Foundation’s Prop. 1 and Prop. 2, measures aimed at stripping our city’s employees of union protection. Shelton’s commissioners also voted unanimously to kill the two measures. And the same propositions died in Chelan for lack of enough signatures. Neither of these abominations will be on our ballot this November. A letter to the Sequim Gazette accuses the City Council of infringing on the rights of those seeking ballot status for those propositions (“Abuse of power?” Oct. 1, page A-8). The letter is wrong. The council was clear that these two measures “usurp” the statutory rights of the Sequim City Council. City Attorney Craig Ritchie warned that they lay Sequim open to “unfair labor practices” charges. City Councilman Ted Miller said they are “grossly invalid.” Why are the billionaire Koch Brothers waging war against public workers? Because public employee unions, negotiating often in closed-door sessions, have won living wages, health care, and defined pensions for millions of teachers, sanitation workers, police officers, and other public servants. (My grandmother was forced to quit teaching in our state because she got married. It took the teacher’s union to end this outrageous discrimination against women). Corporate America’s success in stripping workers, both public and private, of union protection is the main reason for the insane concentration of wealth in the hands of the billionaires while the rest of us sink deeper in debt and poverty.

Kudos to Sequim talent

Saturday night (Sept. 20) my husband and I attended a musical production for our Sequim community in the high school auditorium. It was an outstanding production and a very enjoyable evening out. The show went on from 7-9:30 p.m. The price is right; we paid $10 for 2 1/2 hours of good music and lots of laughs. Many groups combined their talents for the production: The Olympic Peninsula Men’s Chorus, Powerhouse, No Batteries Required, Aspire!, The Grand Olympic Women’s Chorus and comic interludes by the best comic we’ve seen in Sequim. It is pretty amazing that some of the songs were written by local talent. We came home singing “Homegrown Tomatoes.” Sequim has an abundance of talented, musical people. We appreciate and thank all of you for your time and commitment. You provide our community of Sequim with good, clean family entertainment. There was something for everyone Saturday night — vocal, instrumental, comic. This is one big reason why Sequim is a good place to live. Molly and Bernie Christianson Sequim

Driving toward a cure Mize-Dong wedding L. Susie Mize and Bradley Ray Dong married at the Japanese Garden in Carrie Blake Park in Sequim on Aug. 5, 2014, with the Rev. Clare Hatler officiating. Attendants were friends Pat MacRobbie and Diane Hill-Dwyer. The bride is a graduate of Washburn University in Topeka, Kan., and is a retired elementary reading specialist from the Tigard/Tualitin School District. The groom is a graduate of West Valley College in Saratoga, Calif., and is an IT Integration Specialist with Collaborative Solutions of Reston, Va. The couple are making their home in Sequim.

On Thursday, Sept. 25, the SunLand Women’s Golf Association and SunLand Lady Niners joined together to sponsor “Drive for the Cure” Golf Tournament. The event benefits Olympic Medical Center to pay for breast cancer detection and treatment for women in need on the Olympic Peninsula. This is the second year that the event was open to men, and turnout saw 62 players in all (including 18 men). In all, more than $7,000 was raised thanks to the donations from participants, members of SWGA, SunLand Lady Niners,the sale of raffle baskets and the an anonymous donor who matched $1 for every $3 of the funds raised that matched last year’s total and $1 for $1 for any amount over that. Following play was a luncheon where the keynote speaker Dr. Rene Zimmerman spoke about the latest trends in detecting breast cancer in both men and women. After Dr. Zimmerman’s address, there were 19 baskets raffled off; baskets were donated by members of the two ladies golf clubs and a variety of local businesses. The grand prize — a $300 golf analysis and action plan that was donated by Anytime Fitness — was won by Cynthia Edel.

For years, patriotic quilts handcrafted by members of the Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Club typically have flown across the globe in shipments to deserving veterans they’ve never met and likely never will. However, one club member found a connection with a local veteran, which she turned into a sentimental gesture of her own. On Sept. 24, Carol Geer, a member of the club’s Community Quilts program, which make items for nonprofits and local service agencies, presented a quilt made by Bonnie Hardman

of Port Angeles to retired U.S. Navy chief petty officer Holly Crabtree. The 34-year-old veteran has been in high profile in recent years after appearing in several Washington and national

newspapers and websites since a shooting on duty left her paralyzed on the right side. While on guard duty near Ramadi, near Baghdad, Iraq, toward the end of her last mission, Crabtree was shot in the back of

the head by an enemy sniper on April 15, 2010. Crabtree said the bullet lodged behind her right eye and because of infection, surgeons couldn’t remove it for three months. The trauma led her to retire in August 2012 after 14 years in the military. She said it took her about three years to learn to walk and talk again. Crabtree, a Port Angeles native, moved to Sequim a little over two years ago with her 9-year-old daughter Leah. They live with Crabtree’s uncle, Chuck Engel, a retired operating engineer, who helps her in multiple ways with day-to-day life. Since 2010, Crabtree said she’s received a lot of support from across the country through the Wounded Warriors program, particularly from quilters who send her quilts. This time, Crabtree wanted to show her support

Dan Richards recently had the unforgettable experience of giving a signed copy of his first published book to his junior high english teacher whose encouraging words stuck with him for more than 30 years. The way Ms. Verstegen responded to Richards’ approach to creative writing had one of the first and lasting influences on him. “I think teachers can have a real impact on someone’s life, but the opportunity to acknowledge just how much they may have influenced you doesn’t always happen,” Richards said. “Giving her one of my books was an amazing feeling.” Richards returned to Sequim from his home in Bothell for his 30-year high school reunion, but as a bona fide author he also visited Helen Haller Elementary to share his picture book, “The Problem With Not Being Scared of Monsters.”

Never too late… Following high school Richards had a sleepless desire to do something creative with an emphasis on songwriting. But, despite having the intent and passion to pursue songwriting as a career, Richards didn’t take the appropriate steps to be formally educated in the field, nor engage with the songwriting community. Instead, Richards said he went the more traditional route after high school and attended Seattle Pacific University, followed by a 20-year career as a real estate agent. It wasn’t until about five years ago that Richards’ lifelong passion to pursue a creative outlet came to be when he decided to write a novel. “The great thing about writing is age doesn’t matter,” Richards said. After struggling to write a novel, Richards reflected on the types of books he reads in a search for inspiration. Having always been drawn to more or less children’s books, like “Harry Potter,” Richards shifted gears and decided to “follow the fun,” he said. In the fall of 2009 Richards continued

Raffle quilt to help local disabled veterans

A raffle for this quilt benefits the local Disabled American Veterans group to help fellow veterans find and receive needed services. Tickets are on sale at Karen’s Quilt Shop. Submitted photo

One local quilt is being raffled off to help the local Disabled American Veterans. The quilt created by Phyllis Luther and Margie Myers of Port Angeles is on display at Karen’s Quilt Shop, 609 W. Washington St., Ste. 12, Sequim, with tickets on sale for $5 a piece or three for $10 at the shop. All proceeds benefit Disabled American Veterans to help fellow veterans do things like file paperwork for financial assistance and benefits. The drawing is held on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. Karen Kester, owner of the shop, said her husband died of cancer 10 years ago this February due to exposure to Agent Orange and the group helped her follow through on his disability claim. “We started the claim when he was first diagnosed and I got his disability last year,” she said. “This group of people has been amazing not just for me but other widows. These people don’t ever give up.” For more information on the quilt, call the shop at 681-0820 or 683-8440.

and are not harmful. In larger amounts, however, the toxin may produce a strongly bitter taste and cause stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea. Although cucurbitacins are present in high concentrations in wild cucurbits such as buffalo gourd, domesticated varieties have been bred so that concentrations of the toxin (and the resulting bitterness) are low. Environmental stress (such as high temperatures, inadequate water, low soil fertility and low soil pH) can trigger higher levels of cucurbitacin than usual, but these levels typically are sufficiently low so that the fruits are palatable and do not cause health effects. Cross-pollination of cultivated plants by wild cucurbits (in the form of weeds growing nearby) can cause problems. Fruits from the parent (the cultivated plant) are not affected and do not exhibit bitterness. Plants grown from seeds from those fruits, however, may produce high levels of cucurbitacin. Cucurbitacin poisoning is rare. But it does occur. In 2004, the Washington State Department of Health received reports of four people (two from Jefferson County) who became ill from cucurbitacin after eating a squash resembling a small green-and-white striped pumpkin.

To prevent pollination by undesirable cucurbits, follow these steps to save squash and other cultivated cucurbit seeds: 1. Distinguish between male and female flowers. Male flowers are on a longer stalk and do not have a miniature fruit at the base as female blossoms do. 2. With careful observation, note the male and female blossoms that will be opening the next day. Soon-to-open flowers have a light yellow color and a distinct pointed tip. 3. That evening, place a paperclip or small rubber band around both male and female flowers to prevent them from opening. 4. In the morning, pluck the male blossom and touch the cluster of pollen from it to the center of the female flower. 5. Close the female flower again so bees can’t get in. 6. Tag the blossom. 7. Grow the fruit to full maturity for the desired seed. The fruit must be very ripe for the resulting seeds to germinate correctly. 8. Separate the seeds from the fruit flesh and dry them at room temperature.

To prevent cucurbitacin poisoning, keep the following in mind: Do not eat wild cucurbits. They are poisonous! If you eat a cultivated cucurbit with an unusually strong, bitter taste, spit it out. Swallowing even a small amount of a cucurbit with abnormally high cucurbitacin levels has been reported to cause illness. Discard any remaining fruit to avoid illness. Do not save seed from plants that produced extremely bitter fruits. If you like to save your own seed, be sure to save fruit only from cucurbit flowers that have been isolated to ensure that pollen came only from another cultivated, non-bitter cucurbit and not from gourds or wild cucurbits.

sidebar.) If you do eat a cucurbit that is extremely bitter and experience a gastrointestinal illness suggestive of cucurbit poisoning, call the local poison control center. They can instruct you regarding appropriate medical care. Only skilled seed savers should try to save seed from cross-pollinated seed crops such as squash, cucumber, melon and pumpkin. If not done properly, the plants grown from the seed (and the fruits on those plants) might not resemble the intended crop and could even be dangerous if consumed. Commercial squash seeds remain viable for several years. Jeanette Stehr-Green is a Washington State University-certified Clallam County Master Gardener.

Engel said he appreciates the quilt and knows right where to put it. He said it can be a challenge to help his nieces since he’s lived by himself his whole adult life but he finds time to go fishing alone and sometimes with his nieces. Engel said the military helps Crabtree a lot with different things, too. Once or twice a week, Crabtree and Engel make the trip to the VA Puget Sound Health Care System in Seattle for different appointments. Geer, who knows Crabtree through her granddaughter and Crabtree’s daughter’s dance classes, is glad they actually got to hand off one of their quilts in person. “It’s nice to give one of our quilts to a vet in our town,” she said. Hardman didn’t know who the quilt would go to after she made, but she found it particularly special. “My dad was career military,” she said. “He gave his quality of life and served in World War II and the Korean War. I feel like I’m serving him by doing this.” As for Crabtree’s post-military life, she’s looking to finish up a bachelor’s degree in environmental and occupational health & safety from Trident University online by next year and soon thereafter plans to begin a master’s degree in public health.

Pastels

The Cutting Garden Art Center hosted a “A Dance with Pastels” workshop with pastel artist Dawn Emerson of Terrebonne, Ore., Sept 30-Oct 1. Emerson, at left, explains gradation of color to workshop participant Anne Grasteit, working on a landscape. With 25 years of experience teaching drawing and painting to all ages and levels, Emerson is known for her gestural, high energy approach to painting. Her strokes are broad and sweeping, catching the detail of the subject with energized lines and marks. The primary focus of this workshop was to learn how to “find, feel and follow” the energy of any subject as one draws and paints with pastel. The goal is to enable the students to connect with their subjects so the process of painting in a more personal, dynamic and meaningful. The secondary focus of the class is to use color expressively and freely, and to let go of any rigid rules one may be attached to. “My goal is to help students develop the skills they need to express their own passion with art. I emphasize process rather than product and believe the workshop setting is the place to try new things and learn from each other,” Emerson said. p.m., Oasis Sports Bar & Grill, 301 E.

Vikings edge Wolves in thriller Battle of unbeatens goes to NK in 5 sets Sequim Gazette staff

The matchup had all the makings of a classic battle between league powerhouses. Sequim’s Wolves and North Kitsap’s Vikings did not disappoint.

North Kitsap middle blocker Briar Perez scored a point on a tip to break a 14-14 tie in the game’s decisive fifth set, and a controversial call on a Wolves drive to NK’s back line cinched it for the visiting Vikings on Oct. 2.

North Kitsap (4-0 in league, 6-0 overall) took control early with a 2514 win in the first set, but Sequim (41, 6-1) got even in a back-and-forth second set that saw eight ties before Sequim won, 25-23. In the third set, Sequim edged the Vikings 25-21. North Kitsap

Surge falls short as Sequim loses in OT football Bulldogs come to town for Sequim homecoming Friday by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

A second half rally was almost enough for the Wolves in a nonleague loss to the Centralia Tigers. Sequim (1-1 in Olympic League, 3-2 overall) came from behind 2814 at halftime on Oct. 3 to score twice in the third quarter and shut down the Tigers’ explosive offense

to force overtime. But a goal line stand at fourth-and-1 came up short in the tiebreaker as Sequim couldn’t find the yardage to stay alive in the 34-28 loss. The Tigers won the overtime coin toss and scored first on a two-yard run by Javon Brager. The Wolves caught a break as Tiger kicker Riley Christensen missed the extra point. Sequim tried to capitalize, but two back-to-back penalties for illegal procedure and delay of game knocked them back 10 yards. Quarterback Miguel Moroles countered by connecting with Receiver Bailey Earley for 14 yards to make it third-and-2. Moroles rushed for another two yards bringing up fourthand-inches.

Running back Chris Whitaker, who had a successful night rushing with 16 carries, close to 90 yards and a touchdown, was stopped at the line of scrimmage. Sequim head coach Erik Wiker said the overtime penalties were more an issue with execution than a lack of energy. “That was the bitter part of the sweet ending,” he said. “They played a really good half against a good team. They stepped up and had tons of good plays. At the end, it was an issue with a little bit of execution.”

Based on continued low population estimates and a downward trend in the Kalaloch razor clam population over the past five years, Olympic National Park will not hold a recreational razor clam harvest this year. Biologists from Olympic National Park, Quinault Indian Nation, Hoh Indian Tribe and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife conduct razor clam stock assessments each summer. This year’s results showed the Kalaloch razor clam population to contain about half the number of clams found in 2013. Adult clams continue to be small, with an average size of 3.8 inches. K alaloch ha s been closed to harvest for the last three years due to the razor clams’ low population status.

Wolves add sweep versus Bucs, Eagles Sequim Gazette staff

Only a virus could keep Sequim’s Wolves from finishing closer to the top. The No. 2-ranked Sequim boys cross country squad placed fifth at the Curtis Invite on Oct. 4, easily outpacing other competing class 2A schools and topping 39 other varsity teams. Bellarmine Prep (73 points) took the varsity boys’ race, followed by Medial Lake (116), Bishop Blanchet

(119), Ballard (221) and Sequim (230). C.J. Daniels led Sequim runners with a 24th-place finish among 305 competitors, racing the 5,000-meter course in 16:20. Mikey Cobb was close behind with a 27th-place, 16:22 mark, and Brendon Despain was 37th at 16:34. All three were seasonbest marks. Jackson Oliver was 53rd overall at 16:47. Peter Ohnstad and Chris Jeffko, both recovering from bad colds, were 91st and 133rd, respectively. “They both ran the race and did the best they could under the circumstances,” assistant coach Michael Cobb said.

Wolves’ Lott nets hat trick vs. Red Hawks girls soccer Win snaps SHS’s fivegame-losing streak Sequim Gazette staff

Better to end the week on a high note for the Lady Wolves soccer team. After two tough losses at home against North Mason and North Kitsap, Sequim traveled to Port Townsend on Oct. 4 to blank the Redhawks (0-7 overall) 4-0. Shelby Lott led the charge with three goals and Gretchen Happe had one. Sequim remains winless in the Olympic League after four games and 3-5 overall. Sequim co-head coach Victor Lancheros said he was hopeful the girls would recover starting Monday after a string of injuries.

“There’s still a lot of games left,” he said. “It’s still a matter of getting everyone healthy. We’re coming to that. Hopefully after Monday we give it all we’ve got.” Sisters Lisa and Sophia Radford

joined the teams on Oct. 2 after injuries but Goalie Bianca Espinoza is out for the season with injuries, co-head coach Julie Lancheros said. Claire Henninger started at goalie against North Mason in the 3-2 loss on

Sept. 30. Her performance was a pleasant surprise, Victor Lancheros said. “She’s a good field player but she’s doing whatever we ask her to do,” he said. “We’re happy to have her there.” Against the Bulldogs (2-2 in league, 3-3 overall), Lola Delguzzi-Flores and Hannah Gauthan scored Sequim’s goals with assists from Happe and Delguzzi-Flores. Lancheros said the girls played well, too, against Olympic League leaders North Kitsap Vikings (4-0, 5-1-1) in a 3-0 loss. “They did a pretty good job,” he said. “They moved the ball around well but I felt like we’re playing two teams. They had a lot of subs and we only have two subs but our kids showed up.” The coaches are optimistic in this week’s games hosting Bremerton (05, 1-6) on Oct. 7 and Olympic (4-0, 6-1-1) on Oct. 9. “Not everyone is playing to their potential,” Lancheros said. “We still have hopes to get to districts.”

Wolves continue to knock their times down in a quest for districts despite a 11755 home loss on Oct. 2 to Port Angeles. Senior Dani Barrow swam another districts-qualifying event this time in the 500 free swimming 6:06.31 to take first. She and freshman Sydney Linnane were the only Wolves to win their events with Linnane winning the 100 yard backstroke ( 1:10.49, four seconds off of a state qualifying time). Barrow, Linnane, Victoria Fitzpatrick and Jessica Craig took second in the 200 free relay (2:02.26) and in the 400 free relay (4:42.12). Linnane also took second in the 50 free

at 29.52 seconds and is 0.12 seconds from a districts time. Linnane finished just behind Port Angeles’ Hailey Scott at 28.49. Five Wolves placed third in their events: Barrow in the 200 freestyle at 2:19.37, Craig in the 200 IM at 2:49.99 and was less than 1 second off the district time, Annabelle Armstrong in the 100 butterfly at 1:24.44, which was four seconds off of the districts time, Fitzpatrick 1:10.35 in the 100 free, four seconds off of districts, and Carmen Wilwert in the 100 breaststroke at 1:37.60. For the Roughriders, Carter Juskevich finished first in three events – 100 free (59.24), 200 free (2:06.28), and as part of the 400 free relay (4:05.49). Lum Fu finished first in three events including two relays and the 200 IM (2:32.61). The Wolves swim next against Port Townsend on Oct. 9.

From page B-5 first possession. Centralia running back Gavin Kerner tipped himself a pass from quarterback Joe Aliff to run 65 yards and the score. But Sequim finished the quarter on top. The first score came when Moroles threw a 38-yard touchdown pass to Bailey Earley along the right sideline. A Tigers’ personal foul pushed Sequim up field on their next possession during a Moroles’ run. He and Whitaker amped up their rushing attack capping off the quarter with a Whitaker five-yard TD run. The second quarter was all Tigers, though. Kerner scored his second touchdown of the night with a rush from 37 yards out followed a few minutes later by a 33 yard touchdown run by Brager. The Tigers finished the quarter up two scores after a double reversal where Receiver Nolan Wasson passed to Running Back Jacob Monohan for a 22-yard touchdown.

Minutes later Wolves cornerback Kane Stoddard intercepted an Aliff pass on the Tigers’ 10 yard line. This led to Running Back Ethan Richmond to score from nine yards out and Espinoza to kick another extra point to tie the game at 28-28.

DISTRICT Sequim School District runs its annual United Way campaign through Oct. 17. Building representatives are Greg Newton and Monique Brasher, teachers at Greywolf Elementary; Ione Marcy, teacher at Helen Haller Elementary; Connie Stites, secretary at Sequim Middle School; Terralyn Dokken, secretary at Olympic Peninsula Academy; Brian Berg, teacher at Sequim High School; Vienna Barron, bus driver/transportation, and Valorie Knieper and Patsene Dashiell, district support/ administrative offices. The campaign is focused on promoting participation. As an incentive, superintendent Kelly Shea has pledged to cook breakfast for the building with the highest percentage of participation. “My personal philosophy has never been about how much money we raise. It’s more about how many participate. We did a fantastic job last year and I’m hoping our staff will join me again this year to give a little back to the community we live, work and play in,” Shea said. Parents and guardians may preview HIV prevention education materials at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 14 in the Greywolf Elementary School library, 171 Carlsborg Road. Grade levels to be presented as follows: fifth grade from 5:30-6 p.m., sixth grade from 6-6:30 p.m., seventh and eighth grades from 6:30-7 p.m., ninth grade from 7-7:30 p.m., and 12th grade from 7:30-8 p.m. For 10th and 11th grades, written information only is available between 5:30-7:30 p.m. State law says a parent/guardian must attend such a meeting before they can have their child /legal ward excused from participation in the HIV prevention program.

GREYWOLF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL In physical education classes, Greywolf students are working through a Stations Unit. At each station set up in the gym, the student record is posted, as well as P.E. teacher Doug Hastings’ best result. The station activities combine sports skills, fine motor movements, cardio, muscular strength, and muscular endurance. Some stations are made for just good old fashioned fun. The students need to be good selfmanagers. It is very apparent if they are not up to this task, and the system is set up to make it easy to self-correct for those that are not making good choices. This unit allows students to explore different talents they might have in a very safe environment, and to experience new activities. Stations are: High Jump, Rope Climb Challenge, Cup Stacking Challenge, Birdie in a Basket Chal-

lenge, ESPN Sizzling Shot Clock Challenge, Bean Bag Trampoline Target Challenge, Rock-Wall Challenge, Monkey Bars Challenge, Rubik’s Cube Challenge, Rubik’s Revolution Challenge, Hula Hooping Challenge, Bop-It Smash Challenge, Bop-It XT Solo Challenge, Balance Board Challenge, Stilt Walking Challenge, The Screwball Challenge, OmniBall Challenge, Scarf Juggling Challenge, Hacky-Sack Challenge, Jump Baton Challenge, Ring Toss Challenge, Pickle-ball Target Challenge, Catch & Ball Challenge, The Wobbler Challenge and Nine Nerf Ball Catching Challenges. Hastings invited Superintendent Kelly Shea to come to P.E. class and take part in the station activities one day. Shea was able to successfully jump over the bar without touching it at a height of four blue and seven green aerobic steps (about five feet high) to set a new Greywolf record for the High Jump Challenge, with supportive cheering by the students. The student record for the high jump is held by Jacob Lawrence, Cody Richardson, Harrison Bell and Cristian Gonzales, at four blue and six green aerobic steps.

The child who reads with their parent has a major advantage. The same is true with numbers, letters, facts, and most information. This role of helping your child in school shouldn’t end. Keep it going. Even without the school encouraging it, keep it going. And to the schools, involve your student’s parents. They are not the enemy, they are your allies. They can help lessen your load by being a tutor at home. Too many teachers feel intimidated by parents. Give that some serious thought. Welcome the assistance of parents and see if there is a payoff in the child’s learning. One last note about this issue. I talk about parents but I don’t just mean parents. I mean any significant other in your child’s life — another parent, a grandparent, an older brother, a neighbor or anyone acting as this important person in your child’s learning. Make sure there is someone who is involved with the school in teaching your child to the best of her ability.

teaching her but you should try. Read the instructions. Understand what she is learning. Encourage her. Let her know you are proud of her. When you don’t understand and she doesn’t either, encourage her to get the help she needs. Part of your role is being part cheerleader, part counselor and part motivator while you are being another part teacher and another part parent. Think of the advantage you give a child when you stay involved. If you aren’t there and another parent is there for the child next to yours, imagine the great advantage that gives the other child. It is like the difference that children have when they enter kindergarten if you have read a book or two to them everyday. If you read just one book a day, your child will have read more than 1,500 books when she enters kindergarten. Most parents will read a couple of books when they are reading because these books can be so short. Then compare your child’s readiness to read if she has read between 1500 and 3000 books before school begins compared to a child whose parents don’t read to him.

OTA announces ‘Harvey’ cast Olympic Theatre Arts has announced the cast for the upcoming production of “Harvey,” the popular comedy by Mary Chase that centers around an affable man who has an imaginary companion — a 6-foot rabbit named Harvey. “Harvey” director Olivia Shea said, “This cast is quite unique in that it includes three married couples: Debbie and Brice Embree as Myrtle May Simmons and Duane Wilson, Lily and Miles Carignan as Ruth Kelly, R.N., and Lyman Sanderson, M.D., and Cheryl and Nick DiPietro as the maid and the cabbie.” Also featured will be some familiar and popular OTA actors with Dave McInnes as Elwood P. Dowd and, after a 14-year absence from the stage, Elaine Caldwell as Mrs. Ethel Chauvenet. Additional cast members include Angela Poynter-Lemaster as Veta Simmons, Joseph Schultz as Judge Gaffney and Brian Coughenour and Jane Millet

as Dr. and Mrs. Chumley. “Harvey” will open Nov. 7 and is scheduled to run through the Nov. 23 with performances on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. The $10 preview (free for OTA members) will be Nov. 6. A “pay what you will” performance has been scheduled for Nov. 13. Regular ticket prices are $16, or $14 for members and active military, and $10 for children under 16. All performances will be at Olympic Theatre Arts Center, 414 N. Sequim Ave. in Sequim. More information or tickets may be obtained from the OTA box office, 683-7326, open 1–5 p.m. Monday-Friday. Tickets also may be purchased online at www.olympictheatrearts. org. Theatergoers may find OTA on Facebook (www. facebook.com/olympictheatrearts) where they can see “Harvey” progress from page to stage.

Such decisions soon Dan Richards lead Richards into the Children’s book author world of picture books and eventually to the sale of his text to a publisher, the ilfirst book. lustrator is picked by editor and art director.

throughout the last few years. Incidentally, one of the themes in Richards’s first published book, “The Problem with Not Being Scared of Monsters” is the problems that can arise when fear isn’t present. “Fear isn’t all bad,” Richards said. “I don’t know if fear ever goes away, but it can motivate you.” Despite the ongoing fears Richards must face on his path as a writer, he intends to continue to write children’s books with a goal of publishing a youth novel. “The Problem With Not Being Scared of Kids,” the prequel to his first book, and “Can One Ballon Make An Elephant Fly?” are Richards’s upcoming picture books. Richards also aspires to continue to participate in school visits and perhaps encourage children in their creative writing. For more information about Richards, visit www. danrichardsbooks.com.

In order to take the many risks involved in writing a book, let alone a picture book, Richards used the skills he learned throughout his career as a real estate agent. “Being involved with real estate helped me take the risks associated with being an artist,” Richards said. “You can’t do art and put it out there without having to deal with rejection – similar to real estate.” Having encouraged himself to finally face many of his own fears by putting his creative work Reach Alana Linderoth at into public view, Richards said he was thinking a alinderoth@sequimgazette. lot a bout facing fe a rs com.

is a sweet young mother who just arrived at Safe Haven, along with her four kittens (who have already been adopted). Minnie has been spayed and is ready for a forever home of her own.

MAX is sweet, but kind of timid and shy. Sometimes it takes a few treats for him to trust you. The HeBluffs is a big goofy boy with a good heart. He is good with other dogs (he lived with a large male dog), and has been around older kids. Max is a new arrival so we are still learning about his personality -- will update more soon!

WILSON is a sweet little guy who can be timid with new people, but is a friendly fellow. Wilson does not have a good history with kids, so he CANNOT go to a home with small children. It would be best that he go to an owner that can work with him and get him used to being around small kids. He might never fully be trustworthy, so his owner will need to understand how to keep both safe...

SAM is a BIG sweetie and LOVES to be petted. He is OK with other animals and is housetrained. Sam is extremely overweight, and has a very difficult time getting around. He has gotten better since being at the shelter, but he still has a long way to go.
