City looks to lease 2 sites next to new Civic Center

Big, Bold Dungeness Overflows

Staff: Solution ‘out of the box’ for neighborhood complaints

Above, contributing photographer Rich Taylor finds the Dungeness River still raging a couple of days after last week’s storm. “I’m pretty sure this new tributary of the Dungeness River forming this waterfall is normally not there,” Taylor writes.

At right, Tom Butler with the Dungeness River Audubon Center at Railroad Bridge Park is building an ongoing database with information on the Dungeness River to supplement the center’s educational outreach programs and provide an overall resource. In the midst of consecutive rain events, Butler collects turbidity (clarity of a liquid) measurements of the Dungeness River, Wednesday, Dec. 10, noting relatively high measurements given the amount of sediment and particles suspended in the water because of heavy rainfall and higher river conditions.

Below, the Dungeness overflows its banks at Railroad Bridge Park.

The City of Sequim plans to rent again.

With the completion of the Civic Center expected in mid-2015 and the city’s current rentals going away at the same time, city officials and councilors recently approved a pending lease agreement with resident Ron Fairclough to rent his two properties at 161 and 169 W. Spruce St. Sitting just north of the new development, the two properties with homes tentatively would cost the city $850 a month for three years for city officials to park up to 10 utility trucks on the sites.

But increasing parking for the civic center has little to nothing to do with the agreement says City Attorney Craig Ritchie.

Residents oppose Agnew marijuana grow Project planned within Dungeness Water Rule

by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

A proposed recreational marijuana production and processing facility in an Agnew neighborhood has residents talking about options about how to oppose it.

Residents received letters in the mail about a proposed tier 1 I-502 (legalized recreational marijuana) facility called AAA Bio-Dynamic, at 162 Linderman Road.

Keith Lallone is one of eight applicants to turn in an application to officials with Clallam County Department of Community Development prior to the county commissioners’ adoption of temporary ordinance Oct. 7 that tightens where I-502 producer and processors

Although county officials recognized Lallone’s application as “complete” in September before Ordinance 896 went into effect, it wasn’t until weeks following the adoption of marijuana zoning controls ordina nce t hat count y officials received some additional requested information for the application, a possible neighbor of AAA Bio-Dynamic, April Lauritzen said.

However, because the application was deemed complete by county officials, despite the lag in requested information, Lallone’s request for a tier 1 production and processing facility on a 5-acre parcel within R5 (Rural Low) zone is not subject

“We just got a letter in the mail notifying us of the permit request,” Lauritzen said.

“I don’t know if we would have done anything about it personally, but then we realized many of the neighbors were concerned as well.”

Once surrounding residents expressed their mutual concerns related to A A A Bio-Dynamic, the neighborhood facilitated a community meeting and decided to hire an attorney to help educate them on ways to possibly keep the

I-502 facility from infiltrating the neighborhood.

“My biggest concern is safety,” Lauritzen said. “I know what a sought-after product it is.”

Other concerns presented by Lauritzen and nearby residents include smell, lighting, possible impacts of property values, environmental ramifications and the desire to maintain the area’s existing rural characteristics.

Additionally, both leery neighbors and county officials note AAA Bio-Dynamic’s potential location is in the midst of Washington State Department of Ecology’s Dungeness Water Rule that restricts water use.

“While there exist workarounds for the Dungeness Water Rule, it seems the permitting of activities requiring such mitigation should be limited to those that are proven to not so negatively impact the surrounding families,” stated in a letter to Clallam County Senior Planner Greg Ballard from a potential neighbor.

Following I-502, marijuana became subject to the same water use regulations as any other commercial crop in Washington, according to officials with Department of Ecology.

Given the Liquor Control Board canopy coverage restrictions for the three tiers of marijuana production and the estimated water requirement associated with being able to adequately grow marijuana at each tier, Mike Gallagher, water resources section head for the Department of Ecology Southwest Regional, told members and the audience attending the Dungeness River Management Team meeting Wednesday, Dec. 10, that he doesn’t expect I-502 applicants around here to need water rights.

Instead Gallagher anticipates I-502 applicants within the rule area turn toward the Dungeness Water Exchange for mitigation options or potentially utilize “commercial-industrial

groundwater permit exemption” which, if applicable, allows for 5,000 gallons of water per day. Based on calculations from the LCB, even the largest production scale (tier 3) allows for 21,000 square feet of canopy cover and requires an estimated 2,730 gallons of water per day.

Although the property proposed for AAA Bio-Dynamic doesn’t have a well, according the Lallone’s application, he hopes to possibly use water from a well on adjacent property, but Gallagher said there is “no evidence of water ever used for ‘commercial-industrial’ purposes under the groundwater exemption,” and thus Lallone likely will have to negotiate with the Dungeness Water Exchange to pay a mitigation fee.

However, for part of the year Lallone will have access to the Agnew Irrigation District.

Despite neighborhood

concerns and possible water restrictions, DCD’s staff recommendation to the hearing examiner is to grant the requested conditional use permit, but only after the applicant meets 12 requirements that include, among others, appropriate building permits, a odor control plan and visual buffers.

Because the Washington State Liquor Control Board recently reduced the canopy coverage allowed per tier, Lallone would be limited to a maximum of 1,400 square feet of marijuana canopy to be grown within his anticipated indoor greenhouse, according to the DCD staff report.

After the public hearing today, the hearing examiner will make a decision regarding Lallone’s conditional use permit request within 10 working days.

From page A-1 “We’re excited to see what comes out of this project and hope there are water quality improvements,” Georgeson said.

Each year a sub-watershed, like Bell Creek for example, within the Sequim Bay-Dungeness Watershed Clean Water District, which spans from Bagley Creek east to the county line near Diamond Point Road, will be targeted for PIC implementation.

Plan development

Clallam’s PIC plan is modeled a f ter K it sap County’s 1996 plan that first created an “organizational, strategic plan with how to deal with non-point pollution,” and has since turned into a “standard” for entities like the Department of Health and all other entities that do water quality work and work with shellfish protection, Andy Brastad, Clallam County Health and Human Services Environmental Health director, said.

“Basically defused pollution (non-point pollution) is the No. 1 problem in water quality now in the nation,” Stephanie Zurenko, Washington State Department of Ecology non-point compliance specialist, said.

going to solve the problem in a not so bad way,” he said.

“This is hopefully a winwin solution and if we choose to rent them out hopefully the renters will match what we pay.”

To lease the site, the city would pay for it using funds from the water and sewer utility funds.

If Fairclough were to sell the sites, the city would have

a right of refusal.

Genaveve Starr was the only city councilor to oppose the contracts at the Dec. 8 city council meeting because she felt conflicted.

“My concern would be we don’t want to rent out substandard housing, so we would need to fix it up,” Burkett said. “It’s an option.”

“It’s 99.9 percent about the neighborhood,” Ritchie said.

He and homeowner Fairclough, who lives nearby, said there have been many calls to the police by neighbors about the appearance of the homes, loud noises and more.

Fairclough, 76, said he’s lost $40,000 in bad rentals and at least $10,000 in stolen property since buying 161 W. Spruce St. in 1980 and 169 W. Spruce St. in 2007.

“I would love to stop it,” Fairclough said of the crime.

“That’s why I’d love for it to be a parking lot.”

His plan was to turn the sites into his Sequim Laboratory of Dental Arts and parking.

Under the tentative lease agreement, the houses could be demolished, rented, used for emergency housing or left vacant but that decision depends on the final price, city officials said.

Burkett said they are not looking to buy the properties but it may be a possibility in 20 years.

“But at this point it’s just a lease,” he said.

They are leaning against demolishing the properties at this point, too.

“The cost would be more than we want to pay,” Burkett said.

If the city were to make improvements to the homes then the rent would go up an additional $300, Ritchie said.

City officials would need to make improvements to rent though as the homes are not to city standards but Burkett said he doesn’t have a cost estimate for fixing the homes.

Current tenants will be given conditions to live by if they do rent, City Manager Steve Burkett said, but he and Ritchie foresee evicting the tenants.

“It’s a novel way of trying to deal with a neighborhood problem,” Ritchie said.

Burkett said the parking

is not a requirement for the civic center but described the lease agreement as an “out of the box solution to the problem.”

“It’s about improving the neighborhood,” Burkett said. “(Neighbors) have some really serious problems. The city’s primary function is to create and maintain good neighborhoods for people to live in.”

cleanup effort around 2010, both the Department of Health and Department of Ecology provided funding to pursue cleanup projects and eventually led to the development Clallam County’s own PIC plan.

“Department of Health is really requesting all health jurisdictions within the Puget Sound area to develop these pollution, identification and correction plans,” Brastad said.

“Twenty years ago is when it started, but now it is really front and center for all the health jurisdictions.”

Because of limited staff and time at the county’s Health and Human Services office, officials with the Clallam Conservation District took on the task of coordinating and developing the draft plan.

“We’ve solved some water quality issues, but there are still some problems so we just thought that we needed better coordination on how we identify these problems,” Jennifer Bond, Clallam Conservation District conservation planner, said.

The district also was interested in more strategic water quality monitoring, clarifying when and how enforcement activities occur and exploring additional funding options for actually making some improvements and changes in water quality, she said.

Sequim deputy mayor charged with DUI Sequim Gazette staff

Sequim Deputy Mayor Dennis Smith, 68, was charged with allegedly driving under the influence on Sunday, Dec. 14, after being involved in a fender bender.

Police Chief Bill Dickinson said Smith ran into another car waiting at the Port Williams Road and Sequim-Dungeness Way roundabout.

A Sequim Police officer reported to the scene at 3:15 p.m., Dickinson said, and in the course of obtaining

information from Smith detected the odor of intoxicants.

Smith was arrested for driving under the influence and taken to the Sequim Police Department where he was booked SMITH through the Washington State Patrol.

Dickinson said Sequim Police could have processed the case but they didn’t want there to be any appearance of a conflict of interest.

A Washington State Patrol trooper took Smith to Olympic Medical Center for a blood draw to test his blood-alcohol level and booked him into Clallam County Jail later that night. He was released Monday morning.

Results for his blood alcohol level will take some time, Dickinson said.

Smith said this is the first time he’s been accused of drinking and driving. He said he was driving home by himself from a family gettogether in Centralia at the time he

was pulled over. He dropped off his sister in the Silverdale area, he said, after carpooling.

Smith said he does not know if he was above the 0.08 legal blood alcohol limit.

He appeared in court on Monday, Dec. 15, and goes back for arraignment on Friday, Dec. 19.

City Attorney Craig Ritchie said if Smith is found guilty or pleads guilty, city council bylaws allow him to continue serving on the council.

Smith said as a representative

Copper stolen from PUD Sequim Gazette staff

At about 5:45 a.m. on Dec. 13, Clallam County PUD reported a burglary at its substation on Laird Road in Port Angeles. PUD officials received notice that power was out in Elwha Valley area.

When PUD workers went to the substation to investigate the cause of the outage, they found a hole was cut in the

fence. They found the copper grounding wires inside the substation were cut free and many of them stolen.

According to a Clallam County Sheriff’s Office press release, when one of the grounding wires was cut it made contact with a regulator causing a short circuit and the short circuit damaged two other regulators. This caused the power outage for

Deputies chase suspect through grocery store Sequim Gazette staff

A 27-year-old man is in custody after trying to elude Clallam County Sheriff’s Office deputies who were attempting to arrest him for a felony warrant.

At about 2 p.m. on Dec. 12, deputies received a tip that Anthony Forshaw, who had a felony warrant for his arrest, was seen at a location east of the Safeway store at 2709 East U.S. Highway 101 in

Port Angeles. When deputies arrived on scene, they saw a man matching Forshaw’s description coming from the area of an abandoned house just east of the Safeway Plaza. When deputies asked the man to stop, he ran into the Safeway store and further attempted to evade deputies by hiding in the storage area at the rear of the store. When the deputies located the subject, he took off running once more, pushing bread

Deputies located the man in the back of the store and one of the deputies used a Taser to incapacitate him.

The subject ran back in to the public area of the store. One of the deputies deployed a Taser on him.

Deputies discovered thrown an improperly labeled pill bottle that contained an oxycodone pill, according to the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office.

The subject was later identified as Forshaw, who was booked on the preexisting felony warrant and for new charges of obstructing a law enforcement officer, unlawful possession of a legend drug and bail jumping.

“It’s an embarrassment to the city and to the people,” Smith said.

Smith, who retired from the U.S. Air Force, was appointed to the Sequim City Council on Oct. 8, 2012, and was elected to his position in 2013. Fellow city councilors elected him deputy mayor earlier this year.

Lavender From page A-1

Schiefen said stopping Lavender in the Park follows the four remaining farms’ efforts at Jardin, Lost Mountain Lavender, Olympic Lavender Farm and Washington Lavender Farm to emphasize more activities and vendors at their farms.

“We realized that the park event was no longer neces-

sary to sustain our vision for the future of the farms,” he said.

“Even though the event was always a great side activity for our farm visitors, we determined that the elimination of the park would help ease confusion for our out‐of‐town visitors and give the farmers more time and energy to focus on making the farm tour even better.”

The farmers started Lavender in the Park in 2011

She married James Brown on November 5, 1960 in Philadelphia. The couple promptly moved to northern California.

For a few years she worked for United Technology in Morgan Hill, California.

The Browns lived in Los Gatos, California, where their two children were born. They then moved to Pacifica, California and then to San Carlos, California.

In San Carlos, Peg volunteered in several organizations, including the PTA; Junior Matrons and Girl Scouts; and her church.

When the children were grown, Peg and Jim moved to Groveland, California, where she was again active in the church and the women’s golf club.

They then moved to Sequim, Washington, and they became part of Sequim Bible Church; where Peg served as a Deacon.

She was also active in the women’s club of Peninsula Golf, the Sun Catchers RV Club, and the Master Gardeners.

One of her great joys was the Youth Enrichment Program, of which she was one of the original members. Peg was also involved with the Gideons International for many years.

She is survived by her daughter Catherine Braniff (Lawrence) and their children, Abigail and Owen; and by her son Steven (Stephanie) and their children Alexander and Brandon; great-grand daughter Lily as well as by her husband Jim. We will miss her greatly, but know that she is with the Lord.

after branching off from the Sequim Lavender Growers Association’s Sequim Lavender Festival to start their own event, the Sequim Lavender Farm Faire, now called the Sequim Lavender Farm Tour.

The amount of vendors fluctuated from 40-80 each year, Schiefen said, and those who participated in the park will be offered a spot at a farm during Sequim Lavender Weekend.

Jardin du Soleil, for example, had 18 vendors in 2014 and Schiefen anticipates doubling or tripling the number of vendors at each farm.

“The intention is not to leave them in a lurch,” he said.

Those who volunteered will be welcome at farms and other events, too.

“We want everyone to be included,” Schiefen said.

Fixed price Another shift in tradition for the farmers is going away from the individual buttons for admission to a $10 per carload model to visit all four farms.

“It simplifies (the process) and maybe it will attract a broader audience,” Schiefen said. “Maybe more families can participate, too.”

The farms will keep a fee, as opposed to the Sequim Lavender Festival’s free farms tour, to cover some festival expenses. Traditionalists won’t be without a button souvenir of some sort though.

Farmers are planning a memento like the button, Schiefen said, in time for Lavender Weekend.

Passenger vans and buses will have different rates to be announced.

The group also won’t be bringing back David Doxtater and his event-producing firm, The Workshop, of Seattle. They hired him earlier this year to operate the 18th annual Sequim Lavender Farm Tour.

Francis L. Roach December 9, 1928 – December 1, 2014

Francis L. “Frank” Roach, a retired U.S. Naval officer known for his life of service, his deep faith, his generosity and his gingerbread houses, was called home to God on December 1, 2014.

A resident of DuPont, Washington, he passed at Orchard Park Health and Rehabilitation Center in Tacoma just eight days shy of his 86th birthday.

Mr. Roach was born December 9, 1928 to Francis Edward and Mary Ann Spetz Roach, in Erie, Pennsylvania, the fourth of eight children.

Mr. Roach attended Cathedral Preparatory School for Boys in Erie, graduating in 1946, hoping to continue studies in a Seminary and become a Roman Catholic priest.

But after passing admission tests for the U.S. Navy to win a bet with the payoff of a lemon meringue pie, Mr. Roach enlisted in the Navy in hopes that after two years, he would be able to attend college. Instead, Mr. Roach was encouraged to seek admission to the U.S. Naval Academy, while he was an electronics instructor there, and received a U.S. Secretary of the Navy appointment.

He graduated in 1953, the first in his family to earn a college degree, and served in the Navy until his retirement as a Captain in 1983. His career spanned 37 years and crossed the globe.

Mr. Roach met his wife, Flavia Gierin, while on assignment in San Francisco, California.

They were married on July 23, 1955, in Bremerton, Washington.

They raised five children during their military years.

Mr. Roach loved the Navy and especially enjoyed his years as a sea-going officer.

He often said he was born to drive ships. In 1964, while in the Navy, he earned a master’s degree in electronics engineering from the Naval Post-graduate School. He was then assigned to the Navy’s nuclear power program.

He served as commanding officer for four tours, on the USS Duval County, USS San Bernardino, USS Saint Louis and as Commander of an amphibious squadron.

He also served in three wars: World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Mr. Roach received 14 medals and ribbons during his career, including Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star and several distinguished service awards.

After retirement Mr. Roach worked for GTE in Sunnyvale, California until 1987.

He later became a professional consultant specializing in government contract awards.

He continued that work until the mid-1990s.

Throughout his life, he remained deeply involved with his Catholic faith. He was active in several parishes and served as a Catholic chaplain. After retirement, he continued that service, and eventually earned a second master’s degree in pastoral studies from Seattle University. In his later years, he volunteered with the Diocese of Seattle, serving in its liturgical office and in a ministry to the homeless of Seattle.

He was also involved with the Boy Scouts of America, as a volunteer for the Boys and Girls Club of Sequim, Washington, and numerous other organizations.

He was well known for making intricate gingerbread houses at Christmastime for more than 40 years. He gave the legendary houses to family, friends and to children’s hospitals, retirement homes and organizations associated with those in need. Mr. Roach also restored a historic farm in Sequim, Washington, that had been in his wife’s family for more than 100 years.

Mr. Roach was preceded in death by his parents, his brother John Roach, and his sisters; Rosemary Hall, Katherine Nelson and Patricia Atkins.

He is survived by his wife, his brothers; Thomas, Michael and James Roach; his daughter Catherine Roach Grimes; sons Russell Francis Roach (Jo), Richard Gierin Roach (Diane), Eric Edward Roach (Leane), John Nicholas Roach (Gail), and by eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Mountain View Funeral Home in Lakewood, Washington, is handling arrangements.

Mr. Roach’s family held a private celebration of his life and he will be buried at sea with full military honors.

His family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations in Mr. Roach’s honor be made to the Boys and Girls Club of Sequim, Washington, to Catholic Charities, or to another organization that serves those in need.

Purple Haze out

Perhaps the biggest surprise to long-time lavender tourists may be the departure of Purple Haze Lavender from the Lavender Farm Tour.

Co-owner Mike Reichner said he’s analyzed the farm’s business plan over recent years and decided to go out by itself in November after its biggest fiscal year in 19 years.

“It just didn’t really fit our business plan to belong to the association anymore,” he said. “ We’re not quit t in g though. We still see ourselves as the leaders in lavender.”

His new plan? To continue the same activities on Sequim Lavender Weekend with live music, food, drinks and lavender but under the banner Purple Haze Daze.

Reichner said he purchased the online domain name, which will link up to the farm’s website.

“We’ll do everything exactly the same,” Reichner said. “We’re still going to be a part of Lavender Weekend.”

However, the decision was tough to leave the associa-

tion, Reichner said.

“I still feel passionately about these other farms,” he said. “I praise them at every turn, but we’re just going to do our own thing. I encourage these young farms to push on and move forward with their ideas.”

Expanding programs Schiefen said activities on the farms were quite positive last summer.

“We saw more people coming through,” he said. “The weather was a lot better so there were a lot more happy, smiling faces.”

But the farms’ owners don’t plan on just focusing on Sequim Lavender Weekend.

They’ve already expanded programming in recent years through the summer with the Tour de Lavender, Brunch in the Blooms, the Northwest Colonial Festival and Jungible Music Festival, and they are planning for more, Schiefen said.

Until then, here are some of the planned events at the farms during Sequim Lavender Weekend:

• Jardin du Soleil – A Lavender Fiesta with local food, music, along with U-pick lavender, crafts and activities for all ages, lavender distillation, demonstrations, petting zoo, pony rides, a garden maze, antique car show and more.

• Lost Mountain Lavender – U‐pick lavender, educational workshops and demonstrations, crafts, food and beverages, live entertainment and more.

• Olympic Lavender – Following up on its homegrown “Olympic Lavender Festival,” it features local cuisine and drinks, lavender educational and crafting demonstrations, kids zone and activities, a stage for local musicians, a local antique tractor show and more.

• Washington Lavender – With the setting of a replica of George Washington’s home, the “Washington Lavender Festival” features a special afternoon tea, a colonial reenactment of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, plus period-appropriate costumes, live music, crafts, farm demonstrations and more.

SEQUIM GAZETTE

Odds, ends from the editor’s desk Get ready for the hordes arriving en masse — again.

For the umpteenth time, Sequim is on another “great place to retire” list. The fawning admirers this time are from grandparents.com — yes, you read that right, grandparents.com — who placed our fair town on quite an exclusive list: the “Six Best Cities to Retire … in 10 Years.”

Joining Sequim are: Huntsville, Ala.; Mount Dora, Fla.; Dahlonega, Ga.; Chattanooga, Tenn., and Bluffton, S.C. Why 10 years from now? Grandparents.com calls these places the “unsung heroes of retirement — those places that don’t always make the national top 10 lists but are a boon for retirees nonetheless.”

Apparently they haven’t read all the publicity Editor’s Sequim gets year after Corner year …

And why just six cities Michael Dashiell rather than 10? No idea.

The site did mention many of Sequim’s highlights — the great weather, the lavender, etc. — but grandparents.com’s description of Sequim seems to me a little curious.

For example, the website indicates that Sequim is “nestled between the snow-capped Olympic Mountains and Salish Sea … “ Well, OK, technically that’s true.

Sequim also is nestled between the Olympic Mountains and, say, Canada, or between the Olympics and the North Pole, but I think most folks would have an easier time placing it between the Olympics and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. But maybe I’m being picky.

In another instance, the site’s description of Sequim indicates that “this Pacific town is also home to another unique (and tasty!) cash crop — Dungeness crabs — which are harvested nearly year-round from November to July.” Well, true, they are found here — but not exactly unique. The crabs are found along the Pacific Ocean — California, Oregon and Washington. And Sequim is not really a “Pacific” town, is it?

Am I being too picky? Perhaps. But this one got me: “If outdoor recreation isn’t your thing, Sequim has a thriving cultural scene and is only a short drive to Seattle or a 30-minute ferry ride to Vancouver (just don’t forget your passport!)” OK, where to start. Never mind the subjective phrases like “a thriving cultural scene” and “short drive to Seattle” … a 30-minute ferry ride to Vancouver?

Let’s a try a 30-minute ferry ride to another town for a 90-minute ferry ride … to Victoria. I mean, a 30-minute ferry ride might put Sequim squarely in the middle of the … wait for it … Salish Sea. Look, I’m sure they meant well. Whoever is writing these pieces is probably not getting a lot of direction — or doesn’t have access to something resembling an encyclopedia — so there are a few glitches here and there. Understandable. But let’s give the hordes of soon-to-be-retirees across the nation more accurate details of our little town before they pack up, move here and start looking for that ferry to Vancouver.

What a splash Last week’s torrential rainfall was impressive, sending the Dungeness over flood stage and reminding us of the power of Mother Nature. Local videographer John Gussman captured some great footage that he posted at vimeo.com/114099320 featuring compelling footage of the Elwha River roaring and raging.

Other than power outages and some downed trees, power lines and a neighborhood bridge in Port Angeles, it looks like the peninsula came through this storm relatively unscathed. Jefferson County may have taken the brunt of it in our area. However, it should inspire some of us (myself included) to get our home emergency kits updated … or started.

Opinion Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2014

SEQUIM GAZETTE

Since 2012 there’s ben a marked improvement in the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center’s relationship with the community due to new professional management.

With this addition, memberships have risen and complaints have diminished through mutual understanding. But selfishness remains, especially now that some see an opportunity to subvert SARC’s policies to garner their self-indulgences at the community’s expense.

Extortion may be a harsh word, but selfishness is rather precise when describing how some act, and becoming more so now that it has become unmistakably clear that SARC must have a positive levy vote on this February’s ballot to keep the community’s swimming pool and athletic center operational.

There are several ways people game SARC, but all end in the same trite phrasing: “If I don’t get my way, I’ll bad mouth (sabotage) SARC’s required levy!” These people show little concern of others by berating and trying to intimidate young staffers, the director and board members to cave in to their tirades!

In extreme cases, SARC’s management has offered prorated refunds and suggests the use of other qualified local gyms.

Forgive me, but why do some

Giving for animals It’s a bit simplistic to say that my family moved here because of and for our animals.

But in a way, what was good for them was also good for us.

I’d spent many years volunteering and leading animal rescue efforts, spay/neuter programs, and anti-cruelty campaigns; raising funds; planning events to help rescue, provide medical care and shelter and placing orphaned animals.

So when looking far afield for horse property in a clean and friendly community, our search brought us to this verdant place we had visited 30 years ago.

In Sequim, we found Guest that dogs are mostly Opinion welcome and cared for, seldom seen on chains Cheryl Smith or wandering as strays, have access to off-leash dog parks, are seen happily accompanying their humans on trails and are even allowed in most assisted living centers.

Unlike where I came from, there are reasonable ordinances that encourage responsible pet guardianship, yet don’t limit responsible owners to just two animals, as long as they have current rabies vaccinations, are good neighbors and are licensed.

“People of Sequim are very protective of our pets,” says Lisa Hopper, the town’s animal control officer for eight years. “For many seniors, they are like their kids,” she adds.

We are fortunate to have nonprofit rescue organizations and shelters with proactive outreach and adoption events, that are embracing the national no-kill movement and, accordingly, enacting programs and networking to place all adoptables, regardless of breed or age. And, there is a horse rescue organization, a therapeutic horseback riding

center and an agency providing animalassisted therapy.

Connections Why are animals so important to our collective quality of life?

Dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals play with our kids; teach kindness, patience and responsibility; comfort the sick, injured and elderly; provide selfless companionship and unconditional love. Some with exceptional temperaments are certified to visit schoolchildren and patients in hospitals and nursing homes.

Specially trained, gentle horses teach selfconfidence, trust and leadership in addition to providing freedom of movement for youth and veterans with disabilities. Some specially trained dogs even have a sixth sense for detecting seizures, cancer and migraines in their humans.

It’s time to ask ourselves, “What can we do for the animals that make Sequim such a wonderful place to live?”

The animals of Clallam County need our help now as never before. Both the Welfare for Animals Guild (WAG) and the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society are holding capital campaigns as they plan to move to their respective new shelters closer to Sequim in 2015. In this season of giving, let’s show our community’s commitment to improving the quality of life for all of its residents because not all best friends and family members walk on two legs.

Many people are excited to welcome these shelters closer to Sequim, where as many as half of all households have pets and there are more vet clinics and pet-supply boutiques than traffic lights.

In fact, one reason people live so long and retire so well here is many have pets, says Pam Scott, community relations director at Discovery Care Memory Center.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Showing selfishness

SEQ

coddle themselves by expecting special treatment over their fellow members of a community venture?

And why would one shoot oneself in the foot to spite others’ legitimate usage? SARC belongs to you; it’s incumbent on you to support your community asset.

Jan Richardson Sequim (Richardson is a SARC board member.)

Show support for SARC It’s 5:25 a.m. and the line outside SARC is growing. From first-time exerciser to athlete, we head to a locker, a machine, a free weight, a lap lane, a class.

There are people with special needs who perform best around others; the hardcore, seasoned athletes who amaze us all with their prowess; the slow, deliberate senior who cherishes this chance to learn and stay limber; the elderly who need the pool for their daily non-weightbearing regimen and the hot tub for their physical therapy, and the youthful and fit who will go off to their workplaces better prepared mentally and physically.

This procession of exercisers will be steady until closing time at SARC. SARC is a major Clallam County asset. It’s the community health

and social gathering hall. Since the new director arrived, the crowd grows daily. And the options for admittance run the gamut from day pass to year membership.

I am a disabled veteran and my frequent participation at SARC is the fulfillment of my prescription for body and mind wellness.

Please vote “yes” to retain SARC, one of Clallam County’s greatest public assets.

Nix First Fed conversion

First Federal, under a management team in place for fewer than two years, is pressing its depositorowners to authorize conversion to stock ownership.

While such conversion will prove beneficial to shareholders, customers again will be the losers should such a sell-out be authorized.

The Boston Globe, reporting similar conversions of small-town banks in Massachusetts, opined on its website (bostonglobe.com, Sept.

2, 2014) that, “One of the more clever ways to get rich is to sell something you don’t own. This is a well-established fact in the community banking world … It is the key concept that drives the conversion of many smaller mutual banks into public stock ownership, a process

that commonly leads to the sale of that institution a few years later …. Here’s why: Executives who run these banks and drive the conversion process are the big winners — paying themselves millions … ” American Banker (americanbanker.com, Aug. 29, 2014) recognized the perfidy of these conversions and wrote, “Mutual bankers may need to recognize that the standard pitch about needing capital to grow and compete is wearing a little thin with a Main Street business sector that has seen mutual after mutual with plenty of capital disappear a few short years after converting — with bank managers and directors getting seriously rich in the process. Small-town leaders may be realizing that a private foundation funded with conversion proceeds will never be an adequate substitute for a dedicated hometown bank.”

This is precisely the pitch made

by First Federal management now, but it must be no more persuasive.

Just as George Bailey’s Building and Loan fended off the ministrations of Mr. Potter at this same time of year in the classic film “It’s a Wonderful Life,” First Federal must survive to meet the needs of the public, not investors.

marijuana led to more stoned driving in Washington?

Hard to say, as the Kitsap Sun notes, because the state doesn’t have a separate law against driving under the influence of pot (it’s classified as driving under the influence).

Of those who took the survey, just 3 percent who admitted to driving stoned said it made their driving worse.

A little more than 60 percent said it didn’t make any difference and 25 percent said it made them better drivers.

From page A-8 Driving high

As several news outlets noted last week, a recent survey indicates that many Washington residents who use marijuana admit to driving within a couple hours of smoking it. The survey polled 940 people in six counties (Kitsap, King, Snohomish, Spokane, Whatcom and Yakima), and nearly 70 percent said they had smoked marijuana at least once. Out of those, 44 percent said they had driven within two hours of using pot.

Full results of the voluntary and anonymous poll of drivers completed by Pacific Institute for Research Evaluation won’t be complete until some time next year.

The report devotes a little less ink than may be expected to a rather embarrassing WSDOT gaffe: Big Bertha, the largest tunnel boring machine in the world, and as of this writing the world’s largest broken boring machine in the world. Built specifically for the state’s Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement tunnel project, Bertha broke in December 2013 after hitting some metal pipes that broke its cutting blades, and the machine has been shelved since. After a year-long-plus repair job, Bertha is supposed to be back at work in March 2015 to finish the estimated remaining 89 percent of the job.

SLGA donates to food bank, Toys for Tots The Sequim Lavender Growers Association which solely produces and manages its own yearly Sequim Lavender Festival, also wants to show support of fellow nonprofits organizations in the community during other times of the year.

This holiday season the SLGA picked two organizations for the 12th Annual Holiday Bazaar Raffle. They were the Toys for Tots program as well as the Sequim Food Bank.

Tickets could be purchased for $1. You also could bring a food item or toy for a raffle ticket. Eight baskets filled with products from SLGA members, a doll and a fully decorated tree were raffled off on Saturday, Nov. 29. SLGA was able to give each organization a check for $500 as well as toys and food collected during the two-day event. Eric Minor representing the Marines also surprised SLGA with a beautiful plaque thanking members for SLGA’s support over the years.

Meeting their needs Faith-based groups continue to fill community gaps

by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Members of Dungeness Community Church have prepared year-round for the annual event known as Christmas House where the church opens its doors to the community to come and select gifts for family members. The tradition has persevered for at least 22 years and with it a local need persists.

On Saturday, Dec. 13, 187 families, including 329 adults and 542 children, came to Dungeness Community Church to participate in the Christmas culture of giving.

Additionally, prior to Saturday, a group of children from Sequim’s Boys & Girls Club were invited to the church to pick out a toy for themselves, eat pizza and share in games and crafts.

“You get to really know the community and create relationships,” Claudine Sill, a Dungeness Community Church member, said. “I think my favorite part is just getting to help people and it’s a great blessing for those that need it.”

Sill is part of a five-person committee that organizes Christmas House, but about 70 volunteers participate the day of the event. Both used and new gifts of all kinds fill the rooms of the church and any rooms without gifts are converted into wrapping stations.

With donations from QFC, Safeway, Walmart and Sunny Farms, food is served the entirety of the event and family photos as well as a variety of activities are offered.

Because of lack of storage space, in preparation for Christmas House it’s up to individuals from the Janie Frogge, a member of Dungeness Community Church and Christmas congregation to gather and store everything from House volunteer, organizes clothes donations collected in preparation for Christmas House. This year Frogge tried to bring in a larger variety of clothing, toys, household goods, tools and outdoor young women’s or “tween” and plus sizes clothing items. Sequim Gazette gear. Public donations also contribute to the items photo by Alana Linderoth available and Christmas House committee member Patti Winnop uses money donations raised throughout the year to shop for new gifts.

“I can’t thank people enough,” Sill said. “Everything they do is a major help.”

Any items remaining once Christmas House is over is donated to Goodwill.

Those with Dungeness Community Church work year-round to create the opportunity for everyone, regardless of economic well-being, to experience giving and receiving a gift for Christmas. Members of Dungeness Community Church are among more than 20 congregations quietly and diligently engaging with the community to help fulfill public needs.

‘The effect’ By the middle of the week there were birders here and there out there, everywhere … and “the effect” was in full swing.

A rough-legged hawk was found hunting the Wa’atch Valley, a bird not seen out there in years.

Another clay-colored sparrow was found in the village.

A tail-pumping dingy-colored warbler named Nashville was seen on the outskirts of town … and a second was found down by the restaurant at the east end of the village.

How rare of a bird? Rare enough.

And two of them.

Just to show that this phenomenon wasn’t just affecting Neah Bay, back east in Clallam Bay a rose-breasted grosbeak was found in cohorts with another tropical kingbird.

A northern shrike was seen. A glaucous gull flew overhead. A grayheaded orange-crowned warbler was located. Eared grebes were seen out on the bay. So was a ruddy duck — both uncommon at best.

Then a western meadowlark put in an appearance in the area of Hobuck Beach; not rare, but not expected.

In the village, at the far western corner, there’s a creek that runs down into the bay: Village Creek, an appropriate name. Here at this trickle of freshwater, gulls congregate for all kinds of reasons: bathing, drinking, roosting, cavorting.

Any birder who birds Neah Bay always stops there to check out the gulls one more time before heading east and the drive home.

And that’s what Tom M. did on his way out of town. He stopped to check out the gulls. There were gulls. And there were several sparrows. But one was different. One was so different that it was truly worthy of a dance. Small, orang-

ish, blackish bird with a smidgen of whiteness tossed about its winter plumage. A finch whose homeground is Eurasia. It’s name: BRAMBLING!! And it is indeed worthy of two exclamation points.

It was there on the beach, slowly and methodically working dried mustard plants for seeds.

Tom M. smiled. And another bird was added to the growing list of feathered wonders found.

Ohhh, almost forgot – the gulls?

Thayer’s, glaucous-winged, glaucous, California, herring, Heermann’s, Olympic, mew, ring-billed, western, black-legged kittiwake and a common tern.

Moving on By late week the weather was holding fair, the winds were calm.

There were still a few rain squalls, but there were blue skies, also. The hobby was still present, the egret was still present, the brambling was still present and so were the people.

But there were more of them.

By Saturday the village had become a migrant trap for birders.

Where you were to be if you were anyone with a bent on chasing rare birds. By Saturday groups were perched at the corner where the orchard oriole was hanging out. Now, however, there was another “good bird” with it – a Bullock’s oriole.

And there were hordes searching

the transfer station for the egret.

But the masses were staked out along Makah Passage, the dirt road through the Wa’atch Valley. They were staked out there because the Eurasian hobby was putting on a show. For the falcon, its behavior was normal: flights to grab a prey item from the ground, flights to pluck a dragonfly from the air, flights back to a perch to feed, preening and just sitting looking around.

The show for the masses consisted of looking through binocs, scopes, cameras and just staring as the falcon did what it did. I keep using the term masses. But today this was a mass. A mass of unprecedented proportions for the county.

There were more than 65 vehicles parked along this stretch of dirt road. I quit counting at 165 birders.

I quit taking down from what state they were from when I tallied 25.

I also know there were birders there from at least six other countries. And the optics … the value of optics there on that road that day?

There was maybe a half-million dollars all focused on, pointed at, clicking on one small falcon perched in a spruce tree 60 meters south of the road. That was the show that was.

But there was another show that was about to happen — a showing of a bird in just the opposite manner as the falcon. And this happened six

Random Questions With Tim Verdick For seven years, Tim Verdick and his wife, Leslie, have owned and operated Remote Control Hobbies, 680 W. Washington St. B105, in Sequim.

For 25 years, he worked as a mechanic in the area on mostly everything but cars, Verdick said.

He moved here in 1979 with his family and recalls that was a time when there was only one stoplight in town and no businesses were open after 6 p.m.

Verdick has been a & radio control airplane hobbyist since he was 10 years old and his shop features plenty of remote control planes, cars, trucks, trains, parts, and much more for any vehicle enthusiast.

On Wednesdays at 5 p.m. with weather permitting he sets up a track in the parking lot where anyone with an electric car can burn some rubber.

Verdick took some time from the busy holiday shopping season to answer some Random Questions.

He flew out of England and had 28 missions by the end of the war.

At one point they took out the ball turrets and put in cameras. He flew all over photographing Europe.

Lady Wolves top Knights, Warriors, go 2-1 for week This week’s games to determine key early league positioning Sequim Gazette staff

The Lady Wolves (1-0 in league, 3-2 overall) started the week tied for first in the Olympic League after a strong road trip.

They went 2-1 with wins over Bremerton on Dec. 9 and Crosspoint Academy on Dec. 10 before losing in overtime to Coupeville on Dec. 13.

Against Bremerton, the Wolves’ strong second half capped a 50-39 win over the Knights.

Bremerton went up by one in the first quarter, 10-9, but Sequim tied it up by halftime (18-18) before outpacing the Knights in the final half.

McKenzie Bentz and Adrienne Haggerty scored 12 apiece and grabbed eight rebounds each to lead the Wolves while Kylee Williams dished out seven of the Wolves’ 12 assists.

Sequim coach Evan Still said the girls were fortunate to get the 34-32 win against Crosspoint Academy. The Wolves had 32 turnovers and Crosspoint had 22 second-chance opportunities, he said.

Sequim bests Bremerton, Tahoma Barry keys win in league opener

Sequim Gazette staff

Round one goes to Sequim.

The Wolves opened their Olympic League campaign in fine fashion on Dec. 9 with a 68-53 home win against Bremerton, building a 32-22 lead by halftime before clinching the game in the third quarter.

Sequim outscored the Knights 21-10 in that frame, 12 points coming from Sequim senior Alex Barry.

Ten players scored for Sequim, led by seniors Barry and Vance Willis. Barry hit eight of 14 shots for 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds, while Willis hit three 3-pointers en route to 17 points and had seven rebounds. Barry and Josh McConnaughey had three blocks each.

Willis and Payton Glasser had four assists each.

“I like the way we’re playing and I like the potential we have,” Sequim coach Greg Glasser said.

“We’re turning the ball over too much right now,” he noted. “If we don’t take care of the ball, we’re going to pay.”

The teams meet again on Jan. 16 to complete the season series.

Sequim (3-1 as of Dec. 14) played less than gracious hosts to the visitors from Mount Tahoma, knocking off the Thunderbirds on Dec. 11, 57-39.

Barry keyed the offense with 22 points — 16 at the half — to go along with 13 rebounds and four steals, while teammate Jackson Oliver added 15 points, going a perfect eight-for-eight from the free throw line.

Mount Tahoma grabbed a 13-11 lead at the end of the first quarter and a layup by Nick Dennis made it 15-11 — Mount Tahoma’s biggest lead of the game. Barry sank back-to-back 3-pointers to grab a 17-15 lead. Mount Tahoma’s Tavon Shelley tied the game at 18-18 with a 3-pointer, but Oliver’s fast break bucket gave Sequim a lead they’d never relinquish. Barry had an alley-oop layup pass to Payton Glasser to cap Sequim’s 10-point run at 28-18.

Sequim guard Jackson Oliver takes the ball to the hoop as Sequim’s Wolves take on — and defeat — Mount Tahoma at home on Dec. 11. Oliver finished with 15 points, including a perfect eight-for-eight from the foul line. Sequim Gazette photo by Matthew Nash

The Wolves’ 28-21 halftime lead only grew in the third quarter with Oliver scoring 11 of his points in the frame, helping Sequim grab a 46-31 advantage. Willis pushed their lead to 18 (49-31) with a 3-pointer from the corner to start the fourth quarter.

Bailey Early finished nine points, Glasser had seven points and Dustin Bates added five assists.

Dennis led Mount Tahoma with 19 points.

Tahoma’s junior varsity squad

edged Sequim’s 58-56 in overtime.

Looking ahead Sequim was scheduled to play Port Townsend on Dec. 15 — results of the game were too late for this edition.

The Wolves are at Kingston on Dec. 17 and host Olympic on Dec. 19 before playing a pair of nonleague games versus I-5 corridor teams: Ingraham on Dec. 29 and Sammamish on Dec. 30.

WRESTLING

Sequim Gazette staff

As the Wolves wrestling squad works its way back up the ranks, the team almost checked off one hurdle on its to-do list.

In their first home meet of the season on Dec. 10, Sequim almost notched its first win in three seasons.

The Wolves tied the Kla-

howya Eagles 39-39 but the tiebreaker went to the Eagles 6-5 for the most pins.

Coach Charles Drabek said the final was a tough loss to take but he said things are beginning to click for his wrestlers.

“The kids are starting to do what we’re showing them,” he said. “We even saw it against Olympic (a 78-0

loss). It’s exciting as a coaching staff.”

In Sequim’s five pins, wrestlers seemed to take control early.

Jaime Schroepfer (106 pounds) pinned Mason Clark in 41 seconds while Alma Mendoza (126) pinned Tyler Cabana in 1:26. Also earning pins were Grant Pierson (138) over Dallas McKinney in 2:29, Kevyn Ward (152) over Gavin Humblet in 3:03 and Michael Latimer (220) over Mariz Taylor in 56 seconds.

Sequim’s Hunter Davidson

(195) earned a 6-2 decision over John Russel and Sophia Cornell (113) won by forfeit.

Ben Newell came the closest for the Wolves in winning

Sequim Gazette staff

Before Sequim even dipped a toe into the William Shore Memorial Pool in Port Angeles, they found themselves on the wrong end of a numbers game.

But Sequim coach Linda Moats found a silver lining or two in Sequim’s 143-37 loss

to the Roughriders on Dec. 11.

“We couldn’t really compete against Port Angeles’ 20 swimmers and many divers, but we had fun and many of our team improved in their events,” Moats said.

Goodrich also dropped 10 seconds off his best backstroke time.

“He is looking smooth in the water,” Moats said of Goodrich.

Moats also noted that Brandon Grow is showing good form in the long distance events and dropped seven seconds off his 100

fly from last week’s meet.

Sequim’s lone diver, Adrian Gonzalez, competed for the first time on the varsity level and finished fourth with 117.15 points.

“I talked with him about his dives before he dove and he was worried about several of them,” Moats said. “A 117.15 for six dives as a rookie is quite respectable. We’re all proud of him.”

Sequim’s 200 medley relay of Gonzalez, Grow, Prosser and Jake Armstrong bettered their time by 13 seconds in one week.

Sequim (0-2) hosts Olympic on Dec. 18 before the team’s winter break. The Wolves return to the pool with a Jan. 7 home meet against North Kitsap.

“We were fortunate that they had a tough shooting night,” Still said.

Sequim jumped out to a 10-2 lead in the first quarter and the Wolves maintained a 21-13 lead at halftime.

D e s er é e D o t y le d Crosspoint back from behind with 18 points in the game and to narrow the margin in the third and fourth quarters.

V ic t or i a Cu m m i n s and Elise Beuke scored eight points each for Sequim, while Cummins and Bentz had eight rebounds each and Jordan Miller dished out six assists. Beuke also had three blocks and Bentz added three steals.

With a Saturday game in Coupeville, Sequim found a way to reduce their turnovers — but not in the crucial final minutes.

Sequim held the lead at halftime but Coupeville came back in the second half to force overtime and won, 42-39.

Still said Coupeville outplayed his team in the final three minutes. Sequim girls had six turnovers. “ We were up three with the ball shooting a one-and-one (free throw) and failed to convert,” he said. “We then forced a turnover and then turned it over ourselves with 14.9 (seconds) left.

They hit a 3-point shot to tie it up and sent it into overtime.”

Despite the outcome, Still said he was happy with performances from Cummins and Jordan Miller who had 10 points each and Beuke’s seven rebounds.

M a k a n a Stone led Coupeville with 16 points.

“I think that we can take some positives from this game,” Still said. “We know what we need to work on.”

Sequim traveled to Port Townsend on Dec. 15 — results were not available at press time. The Wolves host Kingston on Dec. 17, travel to Olympic on Dec. 19 and host Anacortes on Dec. 20.

4 Sequim teachers earn national certification District now boasts 28 NBC educators Four teachers in the Sequim School District earned Nationally Board Certification in 2014.

They are Shannon Pa selk, Sequim Middle School sixth-grade teacher; Isaac Rapelje, Sequim High School chemistry/integrated science teacher; Linsay Rapelje, Sequim High School librarian; and Jorn VanDeWeghe, Sequim High School math teacher.

The Sequim School District currently has 28 teachers on staff with national board certification status.

“Achieving National Board Certification is an incredible accomplishment and is a testament to the dedication and commitment our teachers have to their profession,” Sequim schools superintendent Kelly Shea said.

National Board Certification is an advanced teaching credential.

As part of the certification process, candidates complete 10 assessments that are reviewed by other teachers.

Candidates must create four portfolio entries that feature teaching practices, including video recordings and samples of student work.

Candidates must complete six constructed response exercises that demonstrate content knowledge in each candidate’s chosen certificate area.

Portfolios are submitted by the

end of March while the constructed response exercises are taken in midApril.

Candidates then wait until October to hear results from the National Board.

“The most difficult part of the process was finding the time to do the National Board work while also teaching,” Isaac Rapelje said.

VanDeWeghe noted, “Having the

opportunity to take a couple of lessons and really analyze them in depth was very helpful. Reflecting is one very important component of teaching that is often neglected because we are so busy.”

Linsay Rapelje said that watching herself teach and then reflecting and learning from that process was the most beneficial aspect of achieving the certification.

“I liken it to learning how to be a better shooter in basketball,” she said.

“If I want to be a good shooter, I need to watch my actual form on video and make adjustments and practice those to become better. That is what National Boards is intended to do: make us better teachers.”

GREYWOLF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Monique Brasher’s first-graders visited the First Teacher program recently. First Teacher, facilitated by Nicole Brewer, offers reading time for preschoolers accompanied by their parents each Monday at the Boys & Girls Club and features guest readers. The first-graders brought books with them and sat with toddlers to read to them.

Brasher asked her students afterwards about the experience of reading to preschoolers and this is what they said: It was fun because the preschoolers just sat down next to me and listened. Khloee Carbis and Azlynn Judd It was fun because when I read the rhyme to him he laughed. Riley Chesterfield and Taylor Hancock I like it because they listened to me! Gracie Stoudt I was a little nervous because I had never read to preschoolers before. Connor Croft I liked it … I like reading to preschoolers.

Devyn Dearinger and Max Stanford It was good because it is fun to read to preschoolers. Cameron Robinson They were really good when they listened to my book.

Parenting Matters’ Cynthia Martin tackles ‘Teaching independence’

SEQUIM HIGH SCHOOL Nellie Bridge’s senior classes are discussing the famous “To be or not to be” soliloquy from “Hamlet.”

They are using the Harkness discussion method where 12 participants are seated around an oval table and the discussion is cooperative, not competitive. Prior to the discussion, they read the play and watched different film versions of the soliloquy scene.

They also employed some of their highlighted close reading handouts during the discussion.

In their group discussion, students grappled with such questions as is Hamlet actually crazy or sane? What is Gertrude, his mother, thinking or feeling as she listens to Hamlet speak? Why hasn’t Hamlet killed the king yet? They also pondered what Hamlet must have felt to discover his uncle killed his father to marry his mother and become king.

Students in Timothy Wilkinson’s seventhand eighth-grade language arts and social studies class were each assigned to select a different famous American who lived between the years 1865 and 1913.

They researched this person’s life and accomplishments, and then portrayed them while being interviewed by fellow classDon’t miss the winter holiday choir concert mates. In this way, all the students in the class heard a short biography of 26 famous at 7 p.m. Dec. 17 in the auditorium.

Many individuals belonging to local congregations annually return to help facilitate Sequim’s Boys & Girls Club Summer Food Service Program to ensure low-income children continue to receive nutritious meals when school is not in session.

Clallam County is an approved Summer Food Service Program site and is thus federally funded by the United States Department of Agriculture because it is acknowledged as a area with “significant concentrations of low-income children,” according to the USDA website.

Additionally, while the academic year is in session individuals from surrounding congregations, such as those with Sequim Valley Nazarene, help students that don’t have regular access to food during the weekends.

“We’re a small church, but we’ve partnered with other organizations and do a Backpack Program to bring food to children that aren’t eating during the weekend,” Pastor Jerry Luengen said. Every week Luengen takes 10 bags filled with six meals to Helen Haller Elementary School.

“Some of the children within our community don’t eat until Monday,” Luengen said. “That’s why we’re reaching out and hope to expand the program because there are way more than 10 children that could benefit from this.”

Adding to the various congregations’ efforts to provide adequate

low-income families fulfill everyday needs, like laundry, Smith said.

The church also offers its facility as a gathering space for various organizations such as Sequim High School’s LGBT group, Clallam Mosaic and Alcoholics Anonymous.

Adding to the physical goods and services contributed to the community via members of surrounding congregations, nearly every congregation also financially assists local nonprofits and organizations that include, among others, Sequim Food Bank, Salvation Army, Dungeness Valley Health & Wellness Clinic, My Choices, Sequim Community Aid, Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County, Sequim’s Boys & Girls Club and animal welfare groups.

Despite the varying religious foundations and the ongoing work and energy required, individuals belonging to local congregations continue to serve the community in ways not always known.

Together through both intentional and perhaps unintentional collaboration, the various congregations tirelessly contribute year-round to fill the needs of the greater Sequim community and to do so is considered a “blessing” Rick Dietzman, minister to adults at Sequim Community Church, said, noting “it’s not necessarily about benefiting the church.”

“Each of us are responsible for the good that we do in this world,” Rogers, member of the Baha’i Faith, said, while acknowledging the ample opportunity to “do good” here.

Although much of the community outreach efforts tend to focus on youth education and nutritional needs of the community, the ongoing efforts sprawl into a variety of public services. For example, members with Olympic Unitarian Universalist Fellowship have long cleaned a portion of U.S. Highway 101 near River Road twice a year.

Additionally, members with Dungeness Valley Lutheran Church head up a quarter program that assists

within the congregations, Nash’s Organic Produce and Northwest Harvest, the church opens its doors weekly to the community to offer food, clothing and hygiene products. The number of families that participate in the program tend to increase during the winter months, Christensen said, but range from about 70 families in the summer to upwards of 125 in the winter.

During the winter, Christensen and volunteers from the church and community give away a couple thousand pounds of food and an estimated 500 articles of clothing each week.

“There’s a serious need here,” Christensen said.

Christensen has ideas to possibly expand the program to provide nutritional education and recipes along with the food provided because he’s noticed many of the individuals receiving fresh food don’t always know how to prepare it, he said.

“We want to give back to our community and this is one way we try to do that,” Christensen said.

that receive nutritional support from the ongoing efforts of surrounding congregations. Numerous churches and fellowships interviewed not only financially assist the Sequim Food Bank, but also regularly donate food.

Collaboration among a handful of congregations also occurs every Saturday during the Light Lunch program offered at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. The Light Lunch has established itself – filling a niche within the community for more than 10 years and has grown from serving just a few individuals to regularly feeding around 50 people, Clary said.

“I’ve known about the Light Lunch at St. Luke’s, but I didn’t really know how it worked,” Andra Smith, administrative assistant at Dungeness Valley Community Church, said. “I just went for the first time and it was great experience.”

Members with Trinity United Methodist Church volunteer at the Light Lunch at St. Luke’s, Marian Needham, office manager at Trinity, said, and also bring together the community during a monthly dinner where they too offer a hot meal to those in need.

Despite local efforts to fill the nutritional needs persisting throughout the county, another public program known simply as Community Service, hosted by those at Sequim Seventh-day Adventist Church, continues to grow since it began Fulfilling food needs roughly 15 years ago, Wayne ChrisYouths aren’t the only demo- tensen, program director, said. graphic within Clallam County With donations from those

nutrition to local youth, those with Olympic Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, the Baha’i Faith, Olympic Bible Fellowship and St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, only to name a few, have an emphasis on education. Educational support is accomplished differently depending on the individual’s or congregation’s focus, but include facilitating after-school programs, volunteer tutoring, involvement with First Teacher and/or donating school supplies and materials to students.

“My background is in education and I love learning myself so I think it is very important,” Carol Rogers, member of the Baha’i Faith, said.

Rogers volunteers with the Clallam County Literacy Council, spends two days a week at Peninsula Community College’s Sequim extension site and one day a week at the Olympic Peninsula American Red Cross office.

While Rogers devotes her time to various educational outlets, Sue Clary, member of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church and volunteer Senior Warden (president of parish council), said a group from their church volunteers weekly at Sequim Middle School tutoring math.

“We have an amazing group of people that are pretty much devoted to making all this happen,” Clary said after listing a seemingly endless number of community-centric activities members of the church are involved in, including education.

Tough Trojans trip up Wolves

Mendoza was the only girl wrestler to start a varsity match last Wednesday, but Drabek said the other girls are progressing well.

“It’s been by leaps and bounds,” he said. “They are still learning moves because most are firstyear wrestlers (in high school) but you can see the fire in their eyes.”

Other tournaments Sequim sent its wrestlers to three events last weekend with eight varsity boys at the Battle at the Border in Blaine and the junior varsity boys and girls teams to the Foss Invitational.

Latimer and Ward had some of the best results at the Blaine tournament.

Ward (152) went 4-2 with three pins while Latimer went 1-2 with one pin in 26 seconds.

Craig Baker (126) went 2-2 with two pins of his own and losing by decisions while his brother Travis (138) went 1-1. Schroepfer (106) went 1-1 with a pin over Dewald Olivier of Bellingham in 1:06.

Other Sequim wrestlers went 0-2.

(152 pounds) and Nathan Allison (285 pounds) both placed fourth.

In addition, Sequim’s girls wrestled in round robin format, with SHS veterans Alma Mendoza and Kaylee Ditlefsen both going undefeated. Ward and Mendoza were picked by coaches as Sequim’s Wrestlers of the Week.

Sequim coach Randy Perry noted before the season that Olympic’s Trojans have a good shot at improving their seventh place finish last year at the state 2A/3A tournament.

Olympic showed off a bit of that firepower last week in Port Angeles.

Ashlyn Jamrog led all bowlers with a 390pin, two-game series, Chantelle Lamb had 333 pins and Rachael Godwin 332 to lead Olympic to a 7-0 sweep of Sequim on Dec. 11.

Dakota Henderson led Sequim with a 322-pin series, including a team-high 194 pins in the first game. Tenille Tosland was second with a 225-pin series.

Olympic won both regular format games (842-616 and 797-571) and both Bakerformat games (167-94, 146-133).

Despite the loss, the Wolves remain in third place behind the Trojans and Bremerton.

Sequim was scheduled to take on Olympic once again on Dec. 16 — results were not available at press time.

Sequim is off until Jan. 6, when they travel to Bremerton to take on the Knights.

SOPHIE AND ALEXANDER are new arrivals. They are pretty scared and timid right now... Their world has just been dramatically turned around after both of their owners died. We believe they are used to being outside; probably need to be the only pets... We are still learning about their personalities, and will update more info as we get to know them.
