As lawsuits over digital music and video sales loom nationwide, the fight to keep intimate, local live music going may be in trouble in Sequim.

The Oasis Bar & Grill, 301 E. Washington St., one of Sequim’s few venues, hosted its last live music performance

on New Year’s Eve after years of pressure from music licensing companies to pay royalties for songs being played by performers.

Owner Dale Dunning said he most recently received a citation worth nearly $8,700 from BMI, Broadcast Music Incorporated, stating an investigator visited the restaurant and found them

Readers Theatre Plus (RT+), a Sequim nonprofit theater group that gives its proceeds back to local charities and through college scholarships, plans to take a temporary hiatus due to accessibility issues at the Dungeness Schoolhouse.

The chairlift to the second floor where the schoolhouse’s stage resides recently broke and volunteers with the theater group and the Museum & Arts Center in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley, which operates the schoolhouse, say the chairlift has been fickle for years and a deterrent for some to attend events.

To find a solution, organizers with both groups kickstarted a capital campaign in Nov. 1, 2014, to raise about $22,000 for an enclosed vertical platform lift on the outside of the schoolhouse. They held two benefit shows and organizers say as of this week they have just over $6,200 in a restricted fund.

Fundraising continues but Readers Theatre Plus still plans to take a hiatus until the lift is installed.

“It’s more slowing down,” Readers Theatre Plus chairman Jim Dries said. “It’s not stopping. We just may not be able to use the schoolhouse the next few months.”

For now the group is considering temporary venues in the area.

A group of devoted individuals, known as gleaners, sort or “glean” produce from surrounding farms to disperse among local organizations.

For seven years volunteers annually have gleaned thousands of pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables that otherwise wouldn’t end up on someone’s plate.

Gleaners take from the portions of crops deemed unsuitable for sale because of some defect in appearance and “would otherwise go to our animals,” Patty McManus-Huber, promotions coordinator for Nash’s Organic Produce, said. “But we grew it intending for people to eat it.”

However because of the time and costs associated with both gleaning and distributing crop leftovers, McManus-Huber said, they can’t afford do themselves.

“They (gleaners) connect the food to the families that need it,” she said.

Although the gleaned produce that goes to the food banks in Sequim, Port Angeles and Forks, the Salvation Army, Sunrise Senior Home, various churches and the Peninsula Behavioral Health Center, are needed and appreciated year-round, the holidays tend to be a heightened time of need.

Seq

A group gleans produce fields on a sunny day in September. Volunteer gleaners annually gather an average of 5,000 pounds of food to disperse to local organizations by working with farmers and grant funding from the Washington Department of Agriculture for the Waste Reduction Program at WSU’s Extension of Clallam County.

Submitted photos

Mark Ozias, Sequim Food Bank director, said he was “delighted” to receive a bin of organic carrots from Nash’s Organic Produce just before Thanksgiving.

“They were gone in no time,” Ozias said.

The Sequim Food Bank served over 2,100 different families at least once in 2014 and about 650 different families each month.

Despite dating back to biblical times, locally, organized gleaning started in 2008 following the leadership of AmeriCorps and OlyCAP staff who ran the program for a year. Once the program came to a close, a group of volunteers continued to glean primarily at Nash’s Organic Produce.

In 2013, the county received a Washington Department of Ecology grant to coordinate gleaning as part of a waste reduction program and additional farms, including

Blueberry Haven, Johnston Farms and River Run Farm, became involved.

“I love farming and gardening, so this was a natural thing for me to do,” Lee Bowen, a local gleaner, said.

Bowen was quick to get involved with the AmeriCorps and OlyCAP programs and now acts as the organizer for the local gleaning group.

Every Monday the group gathers and gleans for about two hours. Afterwards they distribute their day’s work to the various organizations throughout the county.

“We’ve collected, on average, about 5,000 pounds of produce each year,” Bowen said. “It’s good to see it go to people in need.”

For more information on gleaning or to get involved, contact Meggan Uecker, waste reduction coordinator at WSU Extension of Clallam County, at 417-2279 or muecker@ co.clallam.wa.us.

Forum on geoduck farming set

New Year

Contributor Rich Taylor braved the sub-freezing temperatures to get this first sunrise of 2015 near Marlyn Nelson County Park at Port Williams Beach on Jan. 1.

An informational meeting will be held at the Dungeness Schoolhouse, 2781 Towne Road, Sequim, from 2-4 p.m.

Saturday, Jan. 10, to discuss implications of Shelton-based Taylor Shellfish Farms’ 30-acre geoduck operation proposal.

The proposed site is on tidelands by the mouth of the Dungeness River and near the publicly owned Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife’s 3 Crabs wetland restoration project and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Dungeness Refuge Graveyard Spit protected for breeding birds.

Taylor signed a multi-year lease with Bellevue’s Dunge-

ness Farms tidelands, owners of the gun club at the mouth of the Dungeness River. Taylor’s plan is to raise thousands of geoducks for commercial export to Asia. Each acre of tidelands requires thousands of plastic tubes for seeding geoducks and acres of netting.

Guest presenters and panelists include Laura Hendricks, Coalition To Save Puget Sound; Trina Bayard Ph.D, director, Bird Conservation for Washington Audubon; retired University of Oregon Law Professor Maradel Gale, now with Bainbridge Alliance For Puget Sound and a Bainbridge Beach naturalist; and marine habitat specialist

consultant Jim Brennan, MS, formerly with the University of Washington Sea Grant Program and the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation Governing Board and past president of Pacific Estuarine Research Society.

Large scale aquaculture plantations — shellfish and fin fish lots — are proposed in the Clallam County Shoreline Master Plan for sitings throughout County shorelines and waters.

That plan can be seen at www. clallam.net/LandUse/smp.html.

The meeting is hosted by Protect the Peninsula’s Future, the Olympic Environmental Council and the Sierra Club North Olympic Group.

Work continues on Dungeness River project A $1.5 million grant funds final levee design

by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

The proposed plan to deconstruct a portion of a United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) 1960s levee and design a new levee along the Dungeness River’s historic floodplain is estimated to reconnect the river to 112 acres of habitat.

faster, dropping more gravel because it’s unable to naturally flow and meander and slowly transport sediment along the way. In turn the river is now elevated above its floodplain which actually increases the flood risk, Lear said.

“That portion of the river can be very deadly to fish,” she said.

Chinook salmon, summer chum, bull trout and steelhead are among the fish that rely on the river and are all federally listed on the Endangered Species Act. “One of the things I would like to do is an ecosystem service analysis because these days you can actually start to

quantify what that means,” Lear said. “I think that we will see a net gain in ecosystem services so we’ll also likely see better water quality, less flood risk and a place where fish can thrive.”

Although the project area used to be privately owned, throughout the years various agencies, including Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, Clallam County and the Department of Transportation, have purchased the majority of the surrounding land, Lear said.

The property owned by DOT was to mitigate for the construction that encroached on other wetlands while recently widening U.S. Highway 101.

Along with project partners, county officials are nearing the design phase for replacing a 1960s-era levee, allowing the Dungeness River to use its historic floodplain, restore habitat and reduce flood risks.

Habitat biologist for Clallam County Cathy Lear said “it’s pretty exciting” to be moving on from the preliminary planning phase and into the design phase of a restoration project to setback a portion of the levee along the east side of the lower Dungeness River.

County officials have slowly moved forward with the project for nearly a decade, Lear said, but noted she is “delighted” that within the past five years there’s been “real action.”

Completed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, a feasibility study evaluated the various setback options to reconnect an estimated 4,800 feet — or slightly less then 1 mile — of the river to 112 acres, stretching between the northern boundary of the Dungeness Valley Creamery to just upstream of the Dungeness Schoolhouse. The study took into consideration the hydrology, topography and use of restoration techniques such as engineered log jams and side channels.

With the release of the feasibility study mid-January county officials will begin designing the final levee using a $1.5 million state grant from Floodplains by Design.

The release of the feasibility study also will open the door for a 30-day public review and is considered a “valuable” part of the project

by USACE Project Manager Leah Wickstrom.

Wickstrom said she realizes residents often know things about the project area that planners may not.

The project isn’t expected to break ground until 2016 or 2017, but Wickstrom said, “We’re nearing the end of a significant portion of the project.”

Clallam County and USACE officials entered into a cost-share agreement in 2011 after county officials approached the corps about getting involved. Additionally, the USACE officials are able to fund up to $5 million of the project under section 544 of the Water Resource Development Act. Throughout the feasibility phase, the county and USACE have evenly shared costs, but moving ahead 65 percent of the project cost will be federally funded through the USACE, contingent on funding approval, and the county’s responsible for the remaining 35 percent, Wickstrom said.

Lear estimates the total cost of the levee setback restoration project at $11.8 million, but the amount may fluctuate with progression of the project.

The existing USACE levee built in the 1960s was constructed to control the river, but “we know more now and know how important a healthy river system is,” William Dowell with USACE’s public affairs, said.

The lower portion of the Dungeness River has been restricted between both federally and privately owned levees, and has thus become

Music

Live options The Oasis follows another Sequim eatery, the Old Mill Cafe in Carlsborg, which stopped live music last year after pressures from the music agencies.

However, Sequim’s biggest venue, 7 Cedars Casino in Blyn, continues to offer live music but pays the annual fees.

Jerry Allen, casino CEO, previously said they’ve been paying the fees a long time, “maybe $20,000 a

The Old Sidekicks plan to pursue other venues outside of the Oasis after playing the restaurant’s last live music gig on New Year’s Eve before it switches to an all-ages venue.

year” based on capacity.

With the Oasis stopping its music, the casino remains the most likely option for some artists, but many aren’t sure what’s next for their music ventures.

Sam Klippert, who plays for Final Approach, Dukes of Dabob and Discovery Bay Pirates, was playing at the Oasis at least three times a month.

“Dale doesn’t have any other choice,” Klippert said about stopping the music. “I guess they (BMI) have a legal right to do what they are doing but they are hurting a little town and not gaining much from it.”

Klippert said he isn’t sure of the fate of Final Approach because it depends on finding more places to play.

“We could play at the VFW but it’s for tips,” he said. “There are a few places in Port Angeles. We could reorganize and hopefully the band won’t break up but in reality it probably will.”

Dukes of Dabob, he said, continues to play in Port Hadlock and the Discovery Bay Pirates will consider playing the casino.

Klippert said he enjoyed playing at the Oasis because it was spacious for eight-piece-bands like Dukes of Dabob but now he anticipates it’ll be easier to find gigs as a soloist or two-piece.

Steve Sahnow with the Old Sidekicks, a country/bluegrass group,

played on New Year’s Eve for the Oasis’ last night of music. He’s played there 10 years off and on with different bands and plays 15-18 gigs a year at the Oasis.

“It’s an unfortunate thing for us,” he said. “Our people love the fact they knew when and where they could see us. It’ll take some other operation in order to provide a place now.”

Members of the band have been satisfied playing at the Oasis and VFW, Sahnow said.

“We bring a good crowd and it earns money for the business, which we like,” he said. “We understand they have to make enough to pay us and make enough for themselves.”

Looking at other options, Sahnow said they used to play at the casino.

“We’re old guys,” he said. “The casino is pretty structured in what they are looking for. We can play 9 p.m.-1 a.m. or 6-10 p.m. and we’re not going to do that either.”

Sahnow also said his band has too many players to fit into smaller Sequim venues who are likely to be the next ones targeted by the music companies, too.

Country artist Buck Ellard, who makes his living as a musician, said he’ll be looking to find 12 new shows to fill his schedule after losing his monthly spot at the Oasis.

Annually, he performs about 180

Music licensing rights’ impact stretches throughout Sequim such as at the Sequim Farmers Market.

Market manager Lisa Bridge said they’ve tried avoiding paying large fees to ASCAP for live music on Saturdays.

“We did some collaborative work with the city and in the end ASCAP refused to recognize that collaboration,” she said. “We have paid them thousands of dollars and during this coming season we will be condensing our live music season to just a few months because the cost has become prohibitive. We hate to do this and feel great frustration towards these multi-million-dollar organizations creating a barrier to live and local music vitality.”

Bridge said the market pays a fee that is based on a structure that puts them in the same category as a shopping mall.

City Attorney Craig Ritchie said the city pays licensing fees for the its Music in the Park program and it could for the Saturday market but it opted to pay ASCAP itself, avoiding possible litigation that Ritchie said the city could represent. The city’s fees are based on free public performances using licensed music and the rates negotiated at lower rates for cities.

shows, including at assisted living facilities and private parties.

Ellard, who does originals and covers, said he is a member of ASCAP and there are a lot of people who depend on live music in Sequim.

“I have mixed feelings. It’s extortion in a way,” he said.

“I play a lot of older country like Alan Jackson, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings. I can’t see how ASCAP money is going to these guys … We try to cover all the bases and they are still nailing the venues.”

Ellard has gone so far as to rent his own venues to play and he’s anticipating the need to travel more to play shows.

“I used to tour and never played in the area but we really like playing where we know everybody,” he said.

Dunning said he doesn’t plan to pay the music corporation because if he did, then he must pay other agencies including the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) and the Society of European Stage Authors and Composers (SESAC). His bill, he said would be more than $5,000 a year in licensing fees for cover bands to play.

“The fees make it impossible to operate,” he said. “They are killing venues. There is nothing in the world that we treat like music copyright. With cookbooks you don’t have to keep paying each time you cook a recipe.”

Last year, Dunning said he spent $48,000 on live music but finds it was only about break even financially for him.

“Wednesdays are slightly profitable, Fridays are always popular and Saturdays are hit or miss,” he said.

“As they say, for every dollar you spend you have to earn four.”

Dunning and his wife Janice have a contingency plan though.

They intend to shift the restaurant to an all-ages eatery through 9 p.m. daily while sectioning off the 21-and-over area. He intends to keep some special events like Trivia on Sunday nights, too.

For now, Dunning encourages local artists and supporters to write their state representatives to lobby and change music licensing laws.

“We feel horrible about stopping music,” Dunning said. “People have come to rely on it.”

from 1-50,000 people, $327 to BMI and nothing to CESAC because they’ve never been contacted by company.

“It isn’t fair but that’s not necessarily our problem,” Ritchie said.

“They take the money to pay their own overhead and pay artists based essentially on the Top 10. Money goes to who are on the popularity rank. It does not necessarily to go the artists we play.”

Churches are another venue that must pay music licensing fees.

Joel Rosenauer, director of Worship, Music and Arts at Sequim Community Church, said they pay a yearly fee for access to thousands of songs as an overall package through the Christian Copyright Licensing International, CCLI. Rosenauer said sometimes the company will audit churches requiring their music leaders to keep track of songs over a few weeks and send in the list.

Jon Wright, music director for Dungeness Community Church, said its annual fee is based on congregation size and that they’ve budgeted about $450 a year for music licensing in 2015.

How the process works In the Gazette’s previous story “Venues under pressure” by Mark St.J. Couhig, Vincent Candilora, ASCAP’s executive vice president for licensing, said the music agencies are becoming more active in seeking out license fees and they do that largely by searching band’s and venue’s websites and social media.

Licensing managers, about 160 or so across the country, work from home or by automobile to investigate venues like the Oasis.

If a venue is using music without paying, Candilora said they send the venues a letter, then call, then if they don’t respond, the area manager will stop by and introduce themselves, ask if they’re received the information and explain everything.

Representatives with BMI did not return phone calls and e-mails by deadline for inquiries about the Oasis.

State action

Climate presentation

From page A-1 Lynette will follow Jayne’s presentation by taking a more macro look at a couple of climate-centric topics anticipated to surface during the state’s legislative session spanning Monday to April 27.

The grant Using a $152,078 grant from Washington Departments of Commerce and Ecology, North Olympic Peninsula Resource Conservation and Development officials and project partners have been pursuing the creation of a Climate Preparedness Plan for the North Olympic Peninsula since June.

While summarizing past work and looking ahead on the project’s timeline, Jayne will inform the audience of the grant-funded plan expected to provide information for informed future planning and assist in both

When: 2 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 14.

Where: Dungeness River Audubon Center, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road More info: olyclimate.org or visit www.noprcd.org identifying and providing a better understanding of local vulnerabilities and risks associated with climate change.

“In general, the presentation is intended to provide an overview of what’s going on,” Jayne said.

Given the nature of the topic, the Climate Preparedness Plan likely will continue to evolve as research emerges, Jayne said, but once drafted the plan will be presented to municipalities, including county and city planning commissions, planners, watershed planning organizations and other groups to inform their decision-making with specific local information and strategies to reduce the risks.

“We really want to be able to inform officials and their

decision making,” she said.

Although the grant draws to a close in October, ongoing monitoring of the implementation of solutions and actions recommended in the Climate Preparedness Plan will continue through the work of volunteer groups.

“We’ll be looking for opportunities to put the plan into action,” Jayne said.

“Climate change is already happening, but the more we can do to understand it as a community, the more likely we can minimize the impacts overall.”

“I’ll mostly be talking about Gov. Jay Inslee’s Carbon Pollution Accountability Act and Clean Fuels Initiative,” Lynette said.

“I will try to do this in 20 minutes.”

Among the many ideas to be discussed at the state level, the possibility of a “cap and trade system” for better managing greenhouse gas pollution is among them, Lynette said. The Carbon Pollution Accountability Act proposed

by Inslee would limit the amount of carbon dioxide and/or equivalent pollutants a company or source could emit. The amount of greenhouse gases would be limited by state-issued certificates.

Over time, Lynette said, the act also would decrease the overall total amount of

From page A-1 “We took the productions on the road before and used to go as far as Forks for shows,” Dries said.

Tentatively, the group plans to do two shows – a possible musical and an original work from a woman in Ohio based on World War II but it’s less a war piece and more of a human interest piece, Dries said.

The musical tentatively would run in March/ April and the original play by the end of May/June.

“We have a very active board with people looking at this (venue issue),” Dries said. “People are looking to get back on stage.”

Another possibility the theater group is considering, Dries said, is holding a show for a week in Sequim and another week in Port Angeles.

Previously

The theater’s board members once used the schoolhouse exclusively for productions but stopped using the venue due to disagreements with former museum staff in 2014. Performances were moved temporarily to the Sequim Prairie Grange but members found the facility’s schedule wasn’t conducive to consecutive weeks of programming.

Board members chose to go back to the schoolhouse after the leadership changed at the museum.

How to help

If you know of a temporary facility for Readers Theatre Plus, call 797-3337 and/or visit http:// readerstheatreplus.com.

To donate to the lift effort, call the museum at 683-8110 and/or send donations to Readers Theatre Plus, Box 395, Carlsborg, WA 98324 and add the note “VPL Benefit.” Donations for the lift are tax deductible.

greenhouse gases allowed within Washington in an attempt to meet statutory greenhouse gas limits adopted by the state Legislature in 2008.

“The carrot at the end of the stick is it (Carbon Pollution Accountability Act) would generate an estimated $1 billion per year for the state and also provide incentive for greater energy efficiency,” Lynette said.

Secondly, Lynette will introduce the proposed Clean Fuel Standard, which is part of a larger strategy to decrease carbon emissions proposed by Inslee with the guidance of his Carbon Emissions Reduction Task Force.

“The greatest percentage of carbon emissions comes from cars, trucks and other transportation sources,

contributing nearly half of the state’s total carbon emissions,” according to Inslee’s policy brief on Dec. 17. “Washington has three strategies to decrease carbon pollution from transportation: cleaner cars, cleaner fuels and moving people and goods more efficiently.”

The Clean Fuel Standard would require over time fuel suppliers to increase the mixture of other properties, such as ethanol to fuel while encouraging the use of electric cars and biofuels, Lynette said.

Lastly, Lynette will briefly summarize the efforts of a grassroots group, Carbon Washington, and its statewide campaign to bring about revenue-neutral carbon tax.

In 2008 many Americans felt like their bubble of life enthusiasm popped when they saw their Stock Market bubble pop and the real estate bubble pop. All of a sudden many dollars of stock or property value suddenly went to “money heaven.”

National events and economy are out of our control. But Oral Hygiene is within our control. No matter how many bubbles pop, we can still take care of ourselves until the new day arrives with renewed hope. It is better to greet the new dawn of hope with a healthy smile than to have allowed discouraging events to derail us from taking good care of ourselves. So whatever happens, eat right, exercise and keep brushing and flossing.

VOLUNTEER CORNER Karen Klein first heard about the Community Organic Gardens (COGS) program in the City of Sequim newsletter last spring.

“It sounded like fun and I decided I would like to have a plot in the June Robinson Garden,” Karen said.

As a small business owner and also as a volunteer for Peninsula Friends of Animals, Karen sees herself as a goodwill ambassador for Sequim.

Not surprising, once she COGS volunteer Karen Klein had her own garden plot, she volunteered to help with growing food for the Sequim Food Bank plots. Karen then responded to another request for help, and offered to work on the COGS new website www.sequimcogs.com.

“I have done some informational websites for a few of the other nonprofits. It’s a great way to learn about all of the terrific programs here in our area and to meet great people,” she said.

“I would say the website has been the most rewarding aspects of my volunteer work since it is an on-going, growing project,” Karen added.

Watch for news about available plots in COGS gardens later this spring.

Birthday bash at Blondie’s

Sequim Gazette

If youth, enthusiasm and energy are the foundation for a thriving business, then Jason and Holly Ambro of Ambro’s Landscaping have it in spades. The young married couple, 22 and 23 respectively, say they love what they do, with Jason handling the manual labor and Holly behind the scenes, keeping the books and marketing the company, that her husband started when he was just 19, on social media.

Since 2011, the business has grown slowly but steadily through word of mouth from residential customers. Its first big commercial coup came when Discount Tire hired Ambro’s Landscaping to maintain its property. A second came with The Vintage of Sequim.

“We gained a lot of exposure from commercial clients being on a main street and that’s really helped us get our name out there,” Jason said.

Recently, Ambro’s was awarded a contract for Sherwood Village.

“We provide lawn maintenance year-round and I do design and installation,” Jason said. “I’d like to grow into irrigation and broaden our reach for different types of that. We started yearlong contracts because it’s a lot easier for customers to maintain their landscaping — we just do it when it needs to be done so it doesn’t get out of control.”

Lawn maintenance includes mowing, edging, pruning, fertilizing, spraying weeds, hedge trimming, leaf shreddding and flower bed

Blondie’s Plate is having a birthday bash for owner Kim McDougal beginning at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 10, at the restaurant, 134 S. Second Ave., Sequim. The band Joy in Mudville will play.

Reservations are recommended at 683-2233.

cleaning. Jason is licensed by the state for pesticide and herbicide application and the company is licensed, bonded and insured.

Jason noted that he’s done a few small landscaping design projects and would like to do more, so he’ll take classes on it through the state landscaping association.

“When he’s home, he’s always watching landscaping videos and reading,” Holly said. “We have landscaping installation and design software where Jason can design a 3-D house and yard for a client and do two or three designs so they can see what it will look like in the future.”

“I ask them what they want to get out of their landscape, such as privacy or color.

Then I take what they ask for and give them a couple of designs,” Jason explained.

Thus far, Jason has been a one-man operation but he plans on hiring several people early this year because the business has grown.

“One thing we’re excited about is upgrading all our equipment and being prepared to add new crew members,” Holly said regarding 2015. “That means more commercial opportunities so we’re excited about what the new year will bring.”

“When I first started, a lot of people looked at my age (19) and a lot thought I didn’t know the business very well, so for me, I’ve got a lot to prove to be up with the big dogs,” Jason said. “Commercial places were cautious about hiring me because of my age but once they saw how I worked, they were very

pleased. Because I love what I do, I put passion into it — it’s more fun than work.”

“Because of the way we do our work,” Jason began. “We like do to the whole package, not just mowing alone.

We like to cover everything and take it a step further so your yard looks amazing all year-round, not just in the summer.

We try to compare our work to a quality golf course. We want our work to stand out on the block.”

GRAND OPENING IN POULSBO

Sequim drug trafficker pleads guilty to meth distribution conspiracy Smith was arrested in February following high speed chase Sequim Gazette staff

The former owner of Sellin Style car dealership near Blyn pleaded guilty last week to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, Acting U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes said last week.

Timothy P. Smith, 30, was arrested in February 2014, following a high speed chase that ended after two sets of spike strips were placed on the highway.

Smith pleaded guilty in United States District Court for the Western District in Tacoma on Jan. 2.

All of Smith’s charged coconspirators, Kelsey J. Davis, Tammy R. Coburn, Holli A. Bell, Jacob E. Davis and

Charles D. Aslin, also have pleaded guilty in the case.

Smith faces a mandatory minimum 10 years in prison, and up to life imprisonment, when sentenced by U.S. District Judge Robert J. Br yan on March 27 in Tacoma Federal Court.

A c c ord in g SMITH to records in the case, Smith and his accomplices had been under investigation by federal law enforcement since 2011. Some of the federally indicted offenses, investigated by local law enforcement, went back even further.

In particular, Smith sold methamphetamine to a person working with law

enforcement on multiple occasions in June, July and August 2013 at his Sellin Style car dealership on Old Blyn Highway near Sequim.

In conjunction with a separate investigation and take-down of a larger drug ring, which was supplying methamphetamine to Smith and others, law enforcement arrested Smith as he traveled back to Sequim from Kitsap County on Feb. 23, 2014.

Shortly after Smith’s vehicle crossed the Hood Canal bridge, the Washington State Patrol pulled the car over . After initially stopping, Smith sped away, traveling at speeds nearing 100 mph and weaving into the lane for oncoming traffic. Troopers noticed white bags tossed from the car; inside were 1.6 pounds of methamphetamine. The car hit one set of spike strips and continued on.

After hitting a second set of spike strips the car came

to a halt and Smith and his girlfriend, Kelsey Davis, were taken into custody.

Davis also had $4,000 in cash on her person, which she revealed in a monitored jail call to have been given to her by Smith during the police chase.

The case was investigated by the FBI, ATF and Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team (OPNET), a task force containing officers from Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Port Angeles Police Department, Sequim Police Department, Neah Bay Department of Public Safety, Elwha Klallam Police, LaPush Police, the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Border Patrol, the Washington Department of Corrections, Washington State Patrol and the West Sound Narcotics Enforcement Team.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Gregory A. Gruber.

Ring in 2015 with a cost of living adjustment (COLA)

By KIRK LARSON Social Security Washington Public Affairs Specialist

Happy New Year from Social Security! Put down the champagne and ring in the New Year with a COLA! And we don’t mean the soda.

In 2015, nearly 64 million Americans who receive Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will receive a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) increase to their monthly benefit payments of 1.7 percent.

From page A-8 Jefferson County, was sentenced to 180 days in Santa Cruz County for a 1994 felony charge for a lewd act with a 14-year-old girl.

Despite Halpern’s criminal record, state officials with the Liquor Control Board indicated Halpern still would receive his recreational marijuana license. The Liquor Control Board uses a point system to judge applicants on their criminal history.

For example, a felony conviction like Halpern’s does not qualify since it was more than 10 years ago. However, any other felony conviction up to 10 years ago would receive 12 points. Those with eight points or more would not receive a license to sell, officials said.

“While the law is silent on the issue of local bans, there is also nothing within the law which allows for the board to deny licenses to qualified applicants,” said Mikhail Carpenter, with the Washington State Liquor Control Board communications department. “We have been upfront about this from the beginning; if an applicant meets the state’s criteria for licensure, the board will issue a state license.”

Ritchie said the city wouldn’t have any authority to deny Halpern a business license either based on his criminal history.

When asked if the moratorium and Halpern’s record were correlated, Burkett said they were not.

Until Sequim’s moratorium is lifted, the closest available recreational retail marijuana store within Clallam County is the Hidden Bush just east of Port

benefit for a retired worker in 2015 is $1,328. The average monthly Social Security benefit for a disabled worker in 2015 is $1,165. In Washington the average payment is a little higher at $1,398 for a retired worker and $1,168 for a disabled worker.

For people who receive SSI, the maximum federal payment amount increased to $733 (up from $721 in 2014).

Other Social Security changes in 2015 also are worth noting. For example, the maximum amount of earnings subject to the Social Security payroll tax will increase to $118,500 (up from

While Sequim councilors have kept I-502 activity from infiltrating city limits via a moratorium, county officials have allowed for retail stores and processing and production facilities within its borders.

Following Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s opinion announced last January allowing local governments the “broad authority to regulate (I-502) within their jurisdictions,” county officials firmed two decisions in an April memo from previous DCD Director Sheila Roark Miller. The memo concluded DCD staff will not interpret agriculture to include marijuana and marijuana is considered a “unclassified” use.

Thus, with the exception of those interested in properties zoned industrial, lim-

$117,000 in 2014). A worker will earn one credit toward Social Security coverage after paying taxes on $1,220 in earnings in 2015 (up from $1,200 in 2014).

As a reminder, eligibility for retirement benefits still requires 40 credits (usually about 10 years of work). Information about Medicare changes for 2015 is available at www.medicare.gov.

ited industrial or business park, all I-502 processors and/or producers became subject to the county’s conditional use permit process.

Clallam County Department of Community Development officials have processed 19 applications for zoning conditional use permits for I-502 production and/or processing facilities.

Of the permits processed, 13 were approved, three denied and two withdrawn (one permit was withdrawn and the applicant reapplied for approval).

Though some permits were issued without public opposition, others involved entire neighborhoods banning together against I-502 activity in residential zones.

During multiple public hearings, opposing residents voiced concerns and speculations on the I-502 industry’s presence within residential zones and its impact to property values, public safety, environmental and neighborhood characteristics.

“My biggest concern is safety,” a potential neighbor to a recently proposed Carlsborg I-502 facility, April Lauritzen told Gazette staff in December. “I know what a sought-after product it is.”

Applicant Keith Lallone’s zoning conditional use permit for a tier 1 marijuana processing and production facility on Linderman Road in Carlsborg was the most recent permit to be heard

by Lauren Erickson, the county’s pro tem hearing examiner, and it was denied Dec. 31.

Because the county’s previous hearing examiner Mark Nichols won the November election for prosecuting attorney, the county had to hire a temporary hearing examiner. Although county staff haven’t received all the invoices yet, Steve Gray, DCD deputy director and planning manager, said the estimated costs related to the eight I-502 conditional use permit cases heard by the pro tem examiner is estimated to cost more than $10,000.

Throughout 2014 county commissioners Mike Doherty, Jim McEntire and Mike Chapman remained split on the best way to control I-502 activity, but following a number of public hearings and spurred by community pushback, the county’s planning commission teamed with DCD staff to compile a temporary ordinance with a lifespan of six months. The ordinance is designed to provide temporary guidance as to where I-502 processing and/or productions facilities can be located.

Planning commission member Tom Montgomery told Gazette staff following the adoption of the temporary zoning controls in October that “the commission is prepared to focus on a permanent ordinance and should have a product well before the interim ordinance expires in six months.”

Ordinance 896 will expire April 7, but may be extended if desired.

Charles H. (Charlie) Cornish April 4, 1919 - December 29, 2014

Charles H. Cornish (Charlie), passed away on 29th of December, at the age of 95, at Marine Court, Bremerton, Washington.

Charlie was the oldest son of eight children of Howard and Mabel Cornish, born at the family home in Hamilton, Montana. on April 4, 1919.

He loved the Bitterroot Valley, especially the fly fishing.

When Charlie was 15, his father passed away and as such he had to take on more family responsibility, working at a variety of jobs from bakery truck driver to lab tech to help support his family.

He graduated from Hamilton High School in 1937.

In April 1942, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy serving throughout the Pacific, including the invasions of Guam and Okinawa.

After his discharge, he met the love of his life, Mariana Stilson, to whom he remained married for over 67 years.

Following the war he found employment as an auto mechanic, working at a number of car dealerships, until he became employed at Bangor Naval Base where he worked for over 20 years.

Upon his retirement in the 1970’s, he and Mariana moved to Sequim.

They enjoyed retirement, traveling across the US and Mexico by motor home, salmon fishing, and creating wood crafts and pens in his shop.

Charlie was gifted with a mechanical mind and an inventor’s soul. He could make or fix almost anything.

In 2010, he and Mariana returned to Bremerton, and most recently he lived at Marine Court.

Charlie was a loving caring individual who knew no enemies. He just liked people and loved to tell stories about his fly fishing and hiking days in the Montana.

He was loved by many and will be missed.

Charlie was preceded in death by his parents, sisters Vivian and Louella; and brothers John, Bob, Jim, and Howard. He is survived by his wife Mariana, sister Stella Kratofil of Spokane, Washington; son Philip (Beth) Cornish of Bremerton; daughter Mary Cornish-Hicks (Mark) of Warrenton, Virginia; foster daughters Leanne Steele and Helen LaCelle; along with five grandchildren, Mark Cornish, Brian (Cindy) Cornish, Brenda (Michael) Roberts, Jason Johnson, Jennifer Hubbell; and four great-grandchildren, Alex and Dylan Hubbell, and Nathan and James Roberts; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Memorial Service will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, January 22, 2015 at Bay Pointe Retirement, 966 Oyster Bay Court, Bremerton, Washington.

Memorials in Charlie’s name may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association and mailed to Bay Pointe, 966 Oyster Bay Court, Bremerton, WA 98312 or a charity of your choice. An online memorial can be seen at www. lewischapel.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Our schools, our community, our future

Excellent schools benefit the entire community by attracting business owners, professionals, families and retirees alike.

Developed with broad community input, the bond addresses our schools’ most urgent needs. For our youngest students it constructs a new elementary school, provides permanent classroom space for implementation of allday kindergarten and adds four classrooms and a gym at Greywolf Elementary.

Our high school gains six new science classrooms and technology upgrades for 21st century learners. Olympic Peninsula Academy will have a better-quality site with room to grow. The bond will integrate high school band and choir rooms into an upgraded performing arts center on the main campus. Finally, renovation of the base kitchen will benefit all students by providing improved food preparation facilities for the 1,800 meals served each day.

Your “Yes” vote allows the Sequim School District to construct and renovate buildings to current building and seismic codes – resulting in improved safety and security, operating efficiency and reduced maintenance and energy costs.

Bonds are different from levies. This bond is designed to provide for capital improvements only.

Passing this bond means that Sequim will take the steps necessary to bring our facilities up to date and into the future. With your support the district is poised to move from good to great.

Please vote Yes for a sensible, affordable answer to our schools’ needs.

Jim Stoffer Sequim (Stoffer is chair of Citizens for Sequim Schools; citizensforsequimschools@gmail.com, 360-775-9356).

Pickleball at SARC

When I moved to Sequim 10 years ago the only public pickleball courts were in Port Angeles. That changed because a few passionate women with a vision and hard work got the Sequim School District to allow pickleball courts to be developed at the playground on Third Avenue and Fir Street.

A few years ago SARC opened its gym for the first time to a limited pickleball schedule. Because of the rising popularity of the game, and more demand for playing time, director Scott Deschenes has been very accommodating about allocating more gym time for pickleball. Even if you are not a member, for $7 ($5 if a senior) you can play two hours of pickleball and then use the rest of the facilities — an inexpensive price for healthy, fun recreation.

SARC is such an asset to our community I encourage you to vote YES for the SARC levy, because we want SARC to be here for all future generations.

Those with the Sequim Police Department recently welcomed, or more accurately rewelcomed police officer Devin McBride into the department given he had worked previously as a reserve officer between 2008-2011.

McBride has been back with the City of Sequim Police Department since Dec. 3 and admits he’s pleased to be serving the community where he was both born and reared.

Before accepting the job offer in Sequim, McBride commuted to Port Townsend where he worked as a detective, but given the distance he was eager to pursue a position in his hometown.

Having traveled a fair amount as a young man, McBride never visited a place he liked more than the Sequim area to live, he said, and although content geographically, it wasn’t until McBride had a baby on the way and after beginning one career, but finding little room for growth, did he decide to pursue a career as a police officer.

Here, Sequim’s newest police officer shares how he became a policeman.

“So prior to becoming a police officer I was a master automotive technician and worked in the automotive field for more than 13 years. But, about 10 years into it I was unhappy.

I didn’t feel like there was any room to grow and no room to expand other than owning your own business, which is quite a leap.

At the time, my wife was pregnant with my son and I felt I needed a change in careers, so I actually sat down and made a list of the things that I wanted to do. I then started crossing things off the list that I either couldn’t do or we couldn’t do as a family or couldn’t afford.

I was too old to be astronaut and I couldn’t afford to go to medical school, so law enforce-

ment was the top thing on my list that I wanted to do.

I actually didn’t get involved right away, but I went back to college for my criminal justice degree beforehand. I did a year of that and then I was accepted as a Sequim reserve in 2008 and took kind of a hiatus from college to go through the reserve academy and get out on the road for a little bit.

I was a reserve officer here, still working full time and had a brand new family. In 2009, I went back to college on top of that.

I got hired in Port Townsend in 2011, and I liked working there, but it was just too far of a drive. I liked all the guys that I worked with. There are some pretty exceptional people over there, but I was excited to take the position here.

I went Sequim High School so I know where everything is. I know faces, I know names. It’s really nice to be here … I am back in the community I grew up in.

One of the reasons I like Sequim so much is because as a department and police officer you are really appreciated here. To me there doesn’t seem to be an adversary relationship between the public and the police.

Overall, it’s just nice to be back. I enjoy working here and the people I work with. I like the community and the people in it.”

Support our community’s future

On Feb. 10, 2015, Sequim citizens will vote on the Sequim School District’s bond. I recently had the opportunity to hear Sequim Superintendent Kelly Shea discuss how the school district has prioritized the needs of our community’s schools. I believe the revised school construction bond for 2015 is now both fiscally sound and absolutely necessary to provide adequate, permanent classroom space for our students.

The proposed bond of $49 million will build a new elementary school to replace Hellen Haller and provide additional classroom space at Greywolf Elementary and replace 1967 science rooms at Sequim High School with modern ones. This new construction and remodeling also will allow the district to remove 25 very old and deteriorating portable classrooms and improve the health, safety, security and handicap accessibility for our students.

I was shocked that the base kitchen that serves meals to all the district’s students is so very outdated that nearly all its equipment is decades old and constantly breaking down. There is not even enough storage room available to safely store perishable food products for even a few days.

Yes, the proposed bond of $49 million is a significant amount, but we can afford it. If the bond passes, your total local schools tax rate in 2016 will be less than you paid in 2014. How’s that possible? Because the existing 1996 bond and the Transportation Vehicle Fund levy were both completely paid off in 2014.

So, please join me in supporting the future of our community.

Bill Houghton Sequim

A-10

“Cromnibus” arrived late on the American scene after months of contentious avoidance. Members of the 113th Congress rushed to pass a spending bill so called “Cromnibus” for 20142015 totaling $1.1 trillion while only missing one day of scheduled vacation.

The very name “Cromnibus” conjures up visions of a spectacular movie about the Roman Empire complete with golden men racing in golden chariots tossing golden coins to the Senatus

of Rome just before the empire fell.

Despite its ancient reference, we are different now. We don’t have chariots or golden coins. We have special interests and campaign contributions.

Apparently many special interest amendments were attached to the spending bill but only a few survived in the race to draw the attention of voting members in the final moments of fast-track negotiations. Those that won a place saw their moneyed interest

bond with the spending bill as it sped its way through the process of shaping the state of our nation.

“Cromnibus” was nearly derailed in the last days when two senators decided this was yet another time to use the process and thwart the President. They rose to insert something that would effectively defund the President’s recent policy on immigration.

From page A-10

‘Blood from a stone’

Both the Seattle Viaduct Tunnel project and SARC are similar in that they are both “too big to fail” (on different scales of course).

If they could not rely on practically assured government bailouts, they would cease activity. In the past, SARC has had a minority of commissioners who had urged following good business practices but was their advice heeded?

Cooper

From page A-10 Members of both parties rolled their eyes and started working on other things until the rebuffed senators removed their objections.

They are thought to be the source of whimpering heard in the Senate cloakroom during the rest of the session. One would think they should know better than to mess with Congressional vacations.

The President signed the highly decorated bill and off they went, leaving political pundits to opine over the gilded fruit of political pickleball.

You will have to forgive me for not taking the effort more seriously given the only goal seemed to be to avoid a government shutdown. “Cromnibus” was a whirlwind of activity reminiscent of dust devils filled with tumbleweed or better said tumbleweed filled with devils.

Moreover, the spending bill was debated and passed in just 48 hours during the busiest time of year for most Americans. So in case you missed it, I will point out some “Cromnibus” provi-

If the private gyms in the area make unwise decisions, they go out of business. Notice the empty stores in Port Angeles and Sequim, increasing numbers of vagrants on the streets of P.A. and Sequim, bank accounts and IRAs delivering little interest.

At times like these we have voted for a new city hall and are now being asked to fund SARC and a new school bond issue. The library question looms on the horizon.

Along with all the other inflationary pressures we are feeling (been food shopping lately?), real estate taxes

will go up and landlords will have to raise rents to survive. Caring and feeling are important, but so are facts and figures; you can’t get blood from a stone.

So this time will it be schools or pools, neither or both?

Don’t let SARC disappear. Vote yes.

Judy Rhodes Sequim

drilling down on a spending bill that should have been debated over weeks and should have been completed last fall. A few tokens were given out to early childhood education and Pell Grants but overall the bill is not about common sense or common people.

Our Sen. Murray and Rep. Kilmer voted for the bill.

Sen. Cantwell voted against it. (Note: Kilmer since introduced a House Bill to restore contribution caps.)

The government may not have shut down but sure seems like Congress did.

Although Congress did manage to include provisions that prohibit requiring farmers to report “greenhouse gas emissions

from manure management systems” – that would be cows — or requiring ranchers to obtain greenhouse gas permits for “methane emissions” produced by bovine flatulence or belching (as reported by the New York Times).

I can see why — “Cromnibus” is looking more like a manure management system.

Knights make winter warmer for youths in need Some local children were protected from the recent cold spell by coats donated by the Knights of Columbus from St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Sequim. More than 80 coats were received by the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program, Clallam County Juvenile and Family Services from the Knights.

In photo, CASA Coordinator Valerie Brooks and Jim Fryxell, Grand Knight of St. Joseph’s Knights of Columbus, look over one of the coats donated for children in need.

Coats were distributed by CASA directly to children through schools and to agencies in Clallam County who serve children in need.

This makes almost 300 coats that have been distributed in Clallam County by the Knights in the past three years.

Submitted photo The “Coats for Kids” program is an outgrowth of the Knights “Help a Child in Need” campaign, which began in 2006. Altogether, the Knights of Columbus expect to distribute more than 30,000 coats this winter across the U.S. and Canada. Helping children in need was a fundamental reason for the formation of the Knights of Columbus in 1882 and continues to be a very important component of their work today.

The Knights from St. Joseph’s are involved in a number of fundraising activities in Clallam County. Proceeds benefit organizations including the Special Olympics, Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County, Sequim Food Bank, the Boys & Girls Club and many others.

The Knights of Columbus is the world’s largest lay Catholic organization with more than 1.7 million members worldwide.

Group donates 2,500 books

Wildcats make the grade

First Book-Clallam County announces that 2,500 new books have been given to nine literacy programs that serve Clallam County children in need. Programs include Lower Elwha Head Start, Quileute Tribal School, Parenting Matters, Serenity House, Forks Elementary Bilingual, Lutheran Community Services, Quileute Tribal Child Care and First Step Center. Children will receive new books that they can keep and own, enabling them to start home libraries they can share with their families.

These book grants were made possible through local 2014 fundraising efforts. Donations were received from the Clallam County Retired School Employees, Port Angeles Wednesday Reading Club, Beta Nu Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma, the Albert Haller Foundation, Women of Dungeness Valley Lutheran Church, Benjamin Phillips Memorial Foundation and private donations.

Six Sequim-area students recently were named to Central Washington University’s 2014 fall honor roll. They are Brendan Carpenter, Emily Heike, Daniel Cameron, Spencer Shuford, Elizabeth Shore and Lindsay Hintz. Central students who earn a 3.50 or better grade-point average on a 4.0 scale while maintaining at least 12 graded credit hours of study are eligible for the honor roll.

Sequim skater performs trick each day for two years

An ollie a day …

by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

With bright red pants, and the skill set and ambition of a skater half his age, it’d be hard to tell avid skateboarder Mark Simpson, a 42-yearold Costco employee, apart on his first run through at the skate park.

Last week, Simpson marked two years of keeping a skateboarding streak alive.

Since Jan. 1, 2013, Simpson, a skateboarder for 30 years and Sequimite for 11, has made an effort each day to do an ollie, a move snapping the board while jumping and keeping the board to his feet.

Simpson’s attitude toward the streak: “People should do something everyday they love.”

As a former semi-professional skateboarder and instructor, Simpson won multiple skating contests but hasn’t stopped what he loves as he reached his 40s.

Simpson said taking 15 minutes to skateboard puts him in the right mindset and it has helped his health. When Simpson began the ollie streak, his right knee, that he uses to kick off for the ollies, would pop out but as he went along with the streak his knee no longer was an issue. Now his jumps rival his time as a teenager, he said.

The idea to start the streak came to Simpson in 2012. He looked online to see if any skaters documented something like this before. His search only showed a man named Ollie who documented a “selfie” a day but it had nothing to do with skateboarding.

In photos at top, Mark Simpson of Sequim has recorded his ollie-a-day efforts, in good weather or bad, at home or on the road.

Submitted photos For more than two years, Mark Simpson of Sequim continues to perform an ollie each day to continue pursuing his love for skateboarding. Sequim Gazette photo by Michael Dashiell

“I figured there are millions of skateboarders in the world, so I want to see if I can do it,” he said.

The response from family and friends online in 2013 was good, he said, so for 2014 he decided to take a photo each day of his efforts.

In two years, he’s ollied through the elements of pouring rain, snow or it being so windy that it makes it hard to stand on his skateboard.

Resurrection of the Elwha, on film

A scene from John Gussman and Jessica Plumb’s “Return of the River.”

The film shows at Sequim High School’s auditorium on Jan. 13.

For John Gussman, the story of the Elwha River and its dams seemed to touch everybody — the scientists and the politicians and the tribe members, the people passionate about taking the river’s two dams down and others just as passionate about keeping them standing.

“They’re all connected by a river,” says Gussman, a Sequim resident and professional photographer for more than four decades. “It’s true that in a sica Plumb’s film, “Return of the River,” is bringing global way, we are all dependent on this planet.” their passion for telling the Elwha’s story across After spending four years of putting the largest See ELWHA, B-10 dam removal in history to film, Gussman and Jes-

Random Questions With Jaye Moore Founder and owner of Northwest Raptor & Wildlife Center, Jaye Moore, has devoted 30 years toward both rescuing raptors and wildlife and educating the public about the various native species.

Moving from Clallam Bay, Moore started the nonprofit in Sequim 20 years ago and has nursed to health countless wild animals and raptors from otherwise unfortunate fates.

Although the work to & properly care for the various animals, whether it be a raccoon, coyote or bald eagle, is never ending, Moore’s unconditional love and passion for animals tirelessly drives her every day.

“When we release an animal, that is the pay,” Moore said. “With every release, I think a part of me goes with them.”

Recognizing when to leave a wild animal alone, which is 99 percent of the time, Moore said, is one of the fundamental concepts she tries to instill when educating.

Unless there is a clear sign of injury or distress, Moore explained, it’s best to leave a wild animal alone, especially during the springtime when there’s a abundance of young animals around.

Strong finishes from Ward, Latimer help propel Wolves to first wins in 3 seasons

Reporter’s Notebook Michael Dashiell After being nearly lulled unconscious by my 20th college football bowl game, I’m beginning to think this was a bad idea …

Here are a few more suggestions of what I would do as an “American Sports Czar,” making slight to significant changes/improvements to the standards and customs of our national and regional pastimes:

by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

Call that streak over.

Moments after polishing off Mount Tahoma in the second round of Saturday’s “Battle for the Axe” tournament in Port Angeles, Sequim assistant coach Bill Schroepfer rallied the squad and asked when the last time Sequim High wrestling had won a match.

Truth was, many — if not most — of the grapplers in the circle weren’t even in high school when Sequim started a three-seasonlong victory drought.

That all changed as Sequim knocked off Tahoma and added wins against league rival North Mason and a roster-depleted White River squad to 3-2 for the tourney. The Wolves dropped duals against Marysville-Getchell and Forks.

Despite the winning record, Sequim finished seventh out of 10 teams based on points.

Midway through the tournament, Sequim coach Charles Drabek allowed a grin — enjoying the team’s streak-stopping win against Mount Tahoma. “(Our wrestlers) are doing some of the things we expect of them,” Drabek said.

That was on display in that first match against Tahoma, a 51-24 victory in which Sequim took advantage of four forfeits and won another five individual matches

— four by pin. Grant Pierson, Sequim’s 138-pounder, jumped out to a lead against Tahoma’s Jordan Ubaldo, nearly got pinned, then rebounded to pin Ubaldo in

220-pounder Michael Latimer, who racked up four pins and won all five matches on the mat, and 152-pounder Kevyn Ward, who won four of his five matches, two by pin. the third round.

“Kevyn is really good on his “Grant didn’t just throw in the feet,” Drabek noted. “When he’s towel,” Drabek said.

Pierson finished 2-2 on the day.

PREP SPORTS

Mid-season grades for SHS’s Wolves Boys basketball Head coach: Greg Glasser Team record (as of Jan. 4): 5-4 Grade: C+ C o a ch’s take: “I feel our guys are performing above expecGLASSER tations and coming together as a team. In addition I feel that our team as a whole is starting to buy into what Sequim Basketball is all about and that is the TEAM. I think that our defense is starting to come together, but we still have a long way to go (C+). I do believe that this year’s team is fun to watch because they do share the ball and the run the court. It is a fun group of guys and I am honored to be their coach.”

Girls basketball Head coach: Evan Still Team record (as of Jan. 4): 4-5 Grade: B Coach’s take: “I think that we have had a few tough games where we had an opportunity to rise to the challenge and we let it slip away. I am encouraged though and I think our last few practices have been our best. Our girls are not just going out there and playing the game and goSTILL ing through the motions but they are starting to understand the game at a higher level and that will pay off for them in the long run. We are tough on defense (definitely our strongest area) and we have good size inside and quick guards around the perimeter. Offensively is where we have been struggling. We have been getting good looks and when we execute our sets we almost always get the shot that we are looking for. We are just lacking that consistency, both in executing the plays every time and converting our shots into points, that great teams have.”

Girls bowling Head coach: Randy Perry Team record (as of Jan. 4): 3-5 Grade: C+ Coach’s take: “We have more wins this PERRY year and are getting better.

Have had a couple of nice games and came close to beating Bremerton.”

Boys Swimming He ad c o ach: Linda Moats Grades: A (attitude) and B (performance) Coach’s take: “(O n at t it ude) They all are willing to work hard, they all show up on time and go through the whole practice without complaining. It’s the best team I’ve had with their willingness to work hard and they are all setting goals for themselves. (On performance) We have nine eligible swimmers and it’s been tough to get everyone eligible due to either illMOATS ness or needing enough practices. But it’s still early in season and I’m not seeing their best yet. There are a lot of new swimmers to the team who are growing exponentially and I expect to see a better performance in the near future.

Boys/Girls Wrestling Head coach: Charles Drabek Grades: A/B (Attitude) and B/C for effort Coach’s take: “(On attitude) The kids have really good attitudes and are all willing to learn.

(On effort) I always expect more. A lot of it is mental toughness and awareness because there’s a lot of stuff we’ve gone over and we’re still making the same DRABEK newbie mistakes. But I feel really upbeat about this team. I don’t expect to be league champions but I expect them to improve.”

Where to start … OK, no more ties.

Penalty kicks work, thanks.

Second, none of this “a goal scored on the road counts as a point-plus” thing — the rule that moved Seattle’s MLS squad through the first playoff series and bumped them from the semifinal.

Dumb. Each game counts as a game, and again, no ties. Settle it with PKs. If you need three games, do it, with the third either at a neutral site or at the higher seed.

Third, enough of the griping to the referees. It happens waaaaaay too much at pretty much every level of soccer. In football, you bark at the ref, you get a flag.

In basketball, a technical and after two you’re gone. In baseball, you’re out of the game. In soccer, the official just has to sit there and take it.

Instead, every time a player (or coach) so much as sneers toward a ref, they get two minutes in a penalty box, a la hockey. Their team goes down a player and they have to stand there in the “box of shame” while the other team gets a kind of power play.

Fourth, start making some sense of the pro seasons. I’d say I’m close to the prototypical, casual American soccer fan. I go to a game or two each season, get jazzed when the playoffs start, buy the occasional shirt or scarf. But there is little rhyme or reason to the Major Soccer League seasons in terms of playing dates or times, with teams like the Sounders playing in MLS games and the CONCACAF Champions League and for the U.S. Open Cup, seemingly all at the same time.

If MLS games were on at a standard time and familiar playing days (each Monday and Wednesday night and Saturday mid-afternoon, for example, with a few byes), it’d draw tons more casual fans and rival the Big Three.

Hockey I don’t know what’s wrong with hockey. Maybe nothing is wrong here. Maybe they could turn off the refrigeration to the rink in the third period and see what happens …

High school sports Not much to complain about here, as the Washington State Interscholastic Activities Association does a pretty good job making things fair for most schools across the board. They could add/expand classifications — with 296 school districts the state has six classifications, with about 200 Oregon also has six — but we don’t want to be water down too much the value of state berths.

One small change that might make things a bit more balanced is have private preparatory schools get their own division.

Second, I’d like to see Super State competitions for certain sports. Add another weekend to the wrestling season in which the top two, three or four wrestlers from each weight division battle each other for who is truly the best wrestler at, say, 132 pounds or at 170. My guess is those guys in the 1A division could take a few of those kids from the 4A Seattle and Spokane schools.

It wouldn’t work (or be safe) for some sports like football, where a 4A school with 300-pound linemen would be taking on the 152-pound grunts from a small school, but it

Last year, Forbes estimated the economy created by Americans’ expenditures on fantasy football — from direct revenues to time value — and came up with this figure: $70 billion.

In other words, we spent more money playing fantasy football than the Gross Domestic Product of Azerbaijan (UN, 2012) or Croatia or Kenya or Belarus — and more than the GDP of Honduras, Uganda and Latvia combined.

Forbes noted that instead of figuring out how Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart figures into our FF lineup next week, we could, say, more than double the annual

Peninsula College welding department students — pictured here on tour of the Platypus Marine facilities — take a few moments to show off a tree created by two of their classmates. The department won Best of Show at the 2014 Olympic Medical Center Foundation’s Festival of Trees. Edna Petersen (front row) stands beside the welded tree and one its student creators, who is flanked

by Marty Marchant. It all began with a welded tree local business owner Petersen of Necessities and Temptations saw while attending a concert on the college campus. It was a tree crafted by P.C. welding students, specially decorated with welded ornaments. “I flat out fell in love with their creativity and talent,” Petersen says. She approached Bruce Skinner, OMC Foundation’s executive director, and asked if she could sponsor a tree by the welding students for the foundation’s Festival of Trees. The tree took top honors and was sold for $3,000 to Marty Marchant, director of sales and marketing at Platypus Marine. Photo courtesy of Peninsula College

Seven girls took home medals for the Wolves at the Forks Lady Spartan Invitational on Dec. 27.

Sequim took second place with 107.5 points behind Sedro-Woolley (112 points) despite missing two wrestlers — Aylee Bennett to injury and Kiera Phipps to vacation.

Sophomore Alma Mendoza finished on top for the Wolves pinning two girls and winning in overtime for first place in the 125-pound bracket. She opened with a 1:55 pin over Kasey Haplin of Stadium before taking on two state finishers last year.

Mendoza pinned Mariah Roggow of Kelso, third-place state finisher at 112 pounds in 2013, in 3:46 before facing last year’s state second place finisher Brooklyn Bartelson of Puyallup for a 7-5 overtime win.

For the second-straight tournament Kaylee Ditlefsen (140) took second place behind Kelso’s Mariah Horton, 2013 state-runner-up at 130 pounds. She lost 14-0 at the Hammerhead Invite in Bremerton the week before and this time lost 14-1 but she pinned Hanna Welch of Port Townsend in 43 seconds in her only other match.

Andrea Kienholtz (155) also took second by pinning McKenzie Mitchell of Stadium in 55 seconds and Mica Kincade of Wahkiakum in 1:32 before losing by pin fall to Brooke Peterson of Forks in 3:06.

Cornell opened with a 17-2 major decision over Mercedes Pinnell of Hoquiam before she was pinned near the end of the third round by tournament first-place finisher Tristen Williams in 5:48.

of. Maybe it is in the realm of politics or maybe it is about the behavior of someone you see. Is your criticism valid or are you just critical? Even give some thought to not being as critical of your own family members. Being critical undermines these important relationships. It even undermines your relationship with your own children. Make sure that the comments you make to your children are more positive than negative. If they aren’t, this is certainly something you should resolve to change.

The time to make resolutions is all year long. Don’t make them and forget them. Write them down where you can remind yourself. Don’t make it something for one day of the year.

Resolutions are things you want to accomplish. That isn’t one or two things. Think about the many things you would like to put more effort into this coming year and forever.

So forget New Year’s Resolutions.

Make everyday resolutions as the need comes up. It will for sure. Don’t wait for one day out the year to solve the year’s problems. It is OK to begin on New Year’s Day but then keep it going.

By the way, my first resolution for the coming year is to turn my columns into the paper on time.

HELEN HALLER, GREYWOLF ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS To create an opportunity for more STEM learning, the Sequim Education Foundation initiated after-school programs at Haller Elementary and Greywolf Elementary Schools for third- through fifth-graders. These are based on the Engineering is Elementary curriculum designed by the Boston Museum of Science.

Research-based and kid-tested, this program develops 21st century skills like creative thinking and collaboration, builds kids’ confidence in their engineering abilities and helps kids to see engineering as a possible future career.

At Haller, teachers Gail Kite and Lisa Schermer conducted engineering adventures called Go Green: Engineering Recycled Racers.

This unit covered different ways people recycle items that are ordinarily discarded, turning them into toys, sculptures and household objects. The students used recycled materials to engineer their own toy cars, then competed in a Recycled Racer Rally.

At Greywolf Elementary, teacher Carla Morton conducted engineering adventures called Aid-Drop Packages. This unit exposed students to the devastating effects of monsoon rains that can cause severe flooding and cut people off from important supplies.

Students helped to engineer “aid drop packages” that would be dropped from an aircraft, packed in such a way that the inside contents are protected and are easy to locate once they reached the ground.

SEF would like to thank the generous support of the Rawlins Trust fund.

SEQUIM MIDDLE SCHOOL Judges for this year’s holiday door decorating contest included SMS principal Vince Riccobene, district superintendent Kelly Shea and administrative assistant Trayce Norman.

There was one winner for each hall and a main hall winner. In the sixth-grade hall, the door to Casey Lewis’ classroom, which was a book of poems, was the winner. For the seventh-grade hall, Eloise Ware’s classroom door, featuring a Christmas tree with a star and homemade Japanese holiday treats, was the winner, and for the eighth-grade hall, Steven Boots’ classroom door, with a lighted Seattle skyline, was the winner. In the main hall, Marcia Garrett’s eighth-grade science classroom door won for its rustic wooden log theme.

SEQUIM HIGH SCHOOL On Wednesday, Jan. 7, there will be a FAFSA workshop at 6:30 p.m. in the library. Parents are welcome to attend.

During his journey, his friend Gary Barss of Seattle plans to include a snippet about Simpson in his upcoming motivational book about goal setting.

He’s branded Simpson’s ollie-a-day “The 365 Day Challenge” and shows how people can develop discipline.

Barss writes, “The ollie move in skateboarding opens the doors to other aspects of the sport. If you can ollie, then you can leap your skateboard up onto a curb or a rail or perform all kinds of other tricks.

On Tuesday, Jan. 13, Sequim residents can catch one of two screenings (4 p.m. and 6 p.m.) of the 70-minute documentary at Sequim High School’s auditorium. The movie will be followed by Q & A time with filmmaker John Gussman in the cafeteria.

Concessions will be available for purchase.

“Return of the River,” Gussman says, is a story of hope.

“If we can do this here, maybe we can do this somewhere else,” he says.

Completed in February and in the public eye since September, “Return of the River” is gaining momentum as the film is distributed throughout the Northwest and beyond. It tallied seven film festival awards in its first seven weeks (Port Townsend Film Festival, Wine Country Festival, Sonoma, Calif.; Adventure Film Festival, Boulder, Colo., among others) and is earning spots on dozens of screens across the West (see www.elwhafilm.com/ calendar).

Gussman began the project nearly five years ago with the intent of making a feature film. A Sequim resident for 35 years, Gussman has run his business, Doubleclick Productions (see www.dcproductions.com), since 1982. An avid outdoorsman, he married

Plumb has worked on documentary and narrative films screened at festivals in the role of editor, and behind the camera has created award-winning short films. Her video art films have been screened in galleries throughout the United States (see www. plumbproductions.com).

Gussman found he and Plumb shared the same passion for the Elwha story.

“Her skills balance out my skills perfectly,” Gussman says of Plumb. “She’s a great writer and secured most of the major funding. We like to say, ‘I’m the eyes of the Elwha and she’s the voice.’

But, Gussman notes, “You have to have a

The challenge, he says now, wasn’t getting the footage. That part, he says, was a pleasure.

“It wasn’t like I was a guy from Seattle on assignment. I love this stuff,” Gussman says.

Instead, the toughest part for Gussman was tracking down all the major players and getting them to talk.

“We wanted it to be balanced. It’s a complex story so we had to get viewpoints from all sides,” he says. “It’s like having a jigsaw puzzle. ‘Now, make this a pretty picture.’”

team behind you. There’s no way two people could do this on their own.”

That meant contacting and hiring pros like color and sound experts, film consultants and others. Now, Gussman and Plumb are busy in a whole new world of the film industry: distribution.

Started out of and funded for much of the past four years from Gussman’s own pocket, the “Return” project got a boost through Kickstarter, a global crowdfunding platform, and some grants.

“It took on a life of its own,” Gussman says.

“I was the right guy at the right time and the right place.”

The film has earned high praise from several figures deeply connected to the Elwha from author/Seattle Times journalist Lynda V. Mapes — “With its stunning photography, in-depth historical background and deeply-imbued tribal perspective, ‘Return of the River’ is the documentary film that lives up to the grandeur of the Elwha, its renewal and its promise” — and local author Tim McNulty, who called the film “visually dazzling, lyrically evocative, and fluid as mountain snowmelt.”

The Sequim filmmaker is hoping to get it on as many screens as possible and hopefully with some television broadcast time.

Gussman has seen the impact the film — and the Elwha story — has on an audience, seeing people weep following a screening.

“As an artist, you have a unique way of seeing things,” Gussman says. “If you can connect that with somebody else, it’s great.”

HONEY is about 4 years old and is a beautiful yellow lab.

She has had TPLO surgery on both back knees and has been rehabilitating at Clallam Bay Corrections Center as well as part of the dog training program. She has healed beautifully. She loves other dogs and is a bit rambunctious when she meets a new friend.

She is ready to be a part of an active family. She gets along great with other dogs, kids, and just wants to be with you.

DASH is a 5yr old male, typical (always cold) Chihuahua. He is good with dogs, cats, people, not a barker and loves to play. He was released to WAG due to owners serious health issues. He was obese when he came, but has lost weight and now runs and plays. Dash needs more house training. His owner was so ill she could no longer let the dogs out so they reverted to un-housebroken.

Shouldn’t be hard to get him back on track.

Her owners have relinquished her as they are working long hours and Pixie needs someone who is home most of the time. She would do best as an only dog and does not do well with children, since, being afraid of them, she’ll run and hide.Pixie is 9 years old.

He is not a barker and loves his people. This fun little guy has lots of energy and loves to run and play, so a home with another small dog is a must and he will need a secure fenced yard. He is housebroken, neutered.
