“Camp Cardio” is available by referral to patients who have been discharged from Olympic Medical Heart Center’s cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs, but need a transition program to provide support as they learn to manage their health independently. With the agreement, OMC will refer cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation patients to SARC

Animal control suggests new policies for ‘unadoptable’ dogs

Within only two days of approval to transition from a mutual to a stockholderowned bank, shares of First Federal stock were on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the trading symbol FNWB on Jan. 30. “As a mutual there are voting interests, but no ownership interest,” First Federal president and Chief Executive Officer Larry Hueth said. “This gives us the opportunity to create more HUETH banks and expand into different markets. It allows us to keep pace with changing technology, too,” he said. The proposal to convert the 92-yearold institution to a publicly owned bank passed with 2,120,479 yes votes,

Clallam humane society director plans proposal for late February

Clallam County Animal Control recently revealed its findings in a voluntary investigation at the shelter for these dogs that have been sectioned off from the general public. In the past, up to seven kennels were made available for dogs with a violent record of by MATTHEW NASH either attacking humans and/or other aniSequim Gazette mals but aren’t deemed dangerous enough to be euthanized by the group’s veterinarian. Tracey Kellas, animal control deputy “Unadoptable dogs” may be receiving new policies for their handling at the Olympic for the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, Peninsula Humane Society later this month.

Service Medals. Two years later, he organized the first exclusively military parade in Port Angeles, honoring Korean War vets. Since 2010, Rettela has delivered blankets, health care items, books, clothing and DVDs to hospitalized veterans at the Puget Sound Regional Veterans Hospital in Seattle, the American Lake Veterans Hospital in Tacoma and the Retsil Veterans Home in Retsil. In 2011, he began an effort to organize an ocean fishing retreat for veterans who are part of the Wounded Warriors/Warriors Transition Battalion at Madigan Hospital at Fort Lewis. That effort became a reality in 2012 and 2013 when 15 veterans took part. Rettela said VFW Post 1024 and Naval Elks Post 353 helped make it possible by requesting state and national VFW assistance. “There was a guy fishing with just one arm,” Geddes said. “It was fantastic, just to watch them.” Rettela also started “Operation Baby” — a program that gets baby clothes and baby blankets to veterans families at Madigan Hospital. Rettela also is the major driving force behind renaming several Olympic Peninsula highways, including: Korean War Veterans Memorial State Highway, Highways 112 and 113, sponsored by Rep. Lynn Kessler; The Vietnam War Veterans Memorial State Highway, Highway 112, sponsored by Sen. Jim Hargrove; Gulf War, Desert Shield/Storm War Veterans Memorial Highway, Highway 110, sponsored by Rep. Kevin

Van de Wege; and POW/MIA Memorial Highway, Highway 117, sponsored by Hargrove. He’s also working on efforts to rename Highway 19, a 14-mile stretch between Highway 20 and Highway 104 in Jefferson County, after four Medal of Honor recipients from the North Olympic Peninsula — one of them being Marine Pfc. Richard B. Anderson, who grew up in the Agnew area between Port Angeles and Sequim. Rettela also presides as master-of-ceremonies at the monthly bell-ringing ceremony in Port Angeles, honoring veterans of Clallam County who have died in the previous month. Like Rettela, Geddes — a World War II veteran — started giving back as soon as he completed his service, joining both the VFW and American Legion back in 1946. With the American Legion, Geddes served as commander to six countries. “It’s our job to take care of veterans in need,” Geddes said, be that helping with rent or car payments or serving as honor guards as veterans’ funerals. The pair join other veterans in helping with regular Stand Down events that aim to help veterans get some of the basics, from haircuts to some extra clothes. “We on the Olympic Peninsula do quite a bit for veterans services,” Rettela said. “That’s how we try to close those gaps, as well as help our own.” The Clallam County Veterans Center estimates there are 16,000 veterans living in the county.

Like so many of their brothers and sisters in arms, U.S. armed service veterans Dean Geddes and Gerald Rettela never stopped serving, even after their days in uniform were over. This January, they begin a new tour of duty, of sorts. The two were selected for the honor of Aide-De-Camp to John Stroud, National Commander-in-Chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. According to Randi Law, communications manager at the VFW’s national headquarters in Kansas City, Mo., the national commander selects multiple aides-de-camp every year. And while Rettela said it’s mostly an honorary title, it’s one he and Geddes are proud of. “It’s just such an honor to be selected,” Rettela said. “It’s a brotherhood. We feel dedicated to our own.” Geddes said serving his fellow veterans is akin to second nature. “It’s something we’ve done all our lives,” he said. Rettela and Geddes were both members of VFW Post 4760 in Sequim until recently, when Rettela joined VFW Post 1024 in Port Angeles. Both posts are in District 14 (Washington has 17 districts). “For two people to be selected out of one district is almost unheard of,” Rettela said. Rettela served in the Korean War as a staff sergeant from 1953-1956. Already an advocate for veterans of all branches of the U.S. armed services before his move to Washington in 2004, Rettela has continued finding ways to help his fellow veterans. In 2005, he organized the first Korean War Memorial Service in Clallam County. Of the 150 participating veterans, about 120 were awarded Korean

All tests from nearby domestic birds came back negative for avian influenza (bird flu), but the quarantine managed by officials with the Washington State Department of Agriculture is to remain in place. The 10-kilometer quarantine zone encompassing 92 Cosmos Lane in Agnew went into action on Jan. 20 after 118 birds from a flock of mixed poultry were euthanized by U.S. Department of Agriculture officials in response to an avian influenza outbreak. The quarantine could last up to 240 days, but a similar WSDA-managed quarantine in Benton County was removed within 21 days. However, Hector Castro, WSDA communications director, warns every quarantine is different depending on the circumstances. “The teams are done testing in Clallam County, but we’re (USDA and WSDA officials) still interested if any birds are showing signs of illness or dying,” Castro said. As long as the quarantine remains, it prohibits the movement of poultry and poultry products within, in or out of the zone unless a special permit is provided. Additional cases of the virus have yet to occur in Clallam County, but two new outbreaks were confirmed in Okanogan County on Jan. 27 and Jan. 31. As many as 40 pheasants and 12 turkeys died from a flock of game birds consisting of about 5,000 birds in Riverside, and the second infected flock in Oroville consists of about 100 birds and mixed poultry, with at least half already succumbing to the disease. “We now have three

quarantines in the state,” Castro said. “I think an unusual thing about our response is it has taken us all over the state because of its (the virus’) connection with waterfowl.” Waterfowl seem to be the primary means of transportation of avian flu, according to Alan Huddleston, spokesman for USDA. Because the number of migrating waterfowl increases within the state during the winter months, officials expect as spring approaches the potential for domestic flocks to be exposed to potentially infected waterfowl will decrease. Although Castro explained both the state and federal Department of Agriculture agencies have sources, like WSDA’s Avian Health Program, they can draw funds from to support the response efforts, with limited staff and state veterinarians on hand, “it’s definitely stretching resources,” he said. USDA and WSDA officials visited 1,039 premises within Clallam County and took samples from birds at 32 locations that all came back negative for the virus, but WSDA officials still advise commercial poultry growers and backyard flock owners continue with biosecurity measures, including limiting the contact between domestic and wild birds, especially waterfowl. Three strains of avian influenza have been detected within the state, including H5N2, H5N8 and H5N1, but no cases within the United States have been linked to human illness. Deaths or illness among domestic birds should be reported to the WSDA Avian Health Program, at 800606-3056. For wild birds, contact the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife at 800-6068768. Reach Alana Linderoth at alinderoth@sequimgazette.com.

Civic Center presses toward April completion Sequim Gazette staff

Going into February, the Sequim City Civic Center project remains on schedule for an April 25 completion of construction. Sequim staff hopes to host an open house May 1, aligning with the first Friday Art Walk and the beginning of the Sequim Irrigation Festival. City Manager Steve Burkett said city staff tentatively would move into the building in May with a ceremonial ribbon cutting in June. The total cost of the civic center is estimated at $14.45 million, with about $7 million left to spend on the project through its completion. “I’m confident it will come under budget,” Burkett said to Sequim City councilors at their Jan. 26 meeting. City officials gained an additional $643,000 in revenue for the project following the sale of utility bonds, transfer of general funds and a Clallam transit easement payment, but project expenses increased by an estimated $657,000. Furnishings will cost about $640,000 with $150,000 for technological infrastructure and $490,000 for office furnishings such as chairs, cubicles and desks.

Elray Konkel, administrative services director, said some of the $490,000 includes about $130,000 for cubicles, $90,000 for chairs, and $70,000 for high density shelving. On Jan. 20, city staff and council member Ken Hays met with the design team to review the Sequim civic center’s community plaza design improvements estimated at $530,000, and concluded the plaza improvements likely won’t be complete until July. Konkel said funding for the plaza will be divided from the general fund and Real Estate Excise Tax and from water and sewer funds. City officials also have budgeted $50,000 for public art within the civic center, and although the artists won’t be compensated, the City Arts Advisory Commission is accepting applications from artists for a rotating wall art exhibit. The exhibit is intended to portray the theme of “What Sequim Means to Me.” Deadline for applications is Sunday, March 1. The exhibit will run through the end of year following its opening along with the civic center in May. For more information on the rotating art gallery, visit wa-sequim.civicplus.com/

DocumentCenter/View/5665.

City Manager’s pay increase On Jan. 26, Sequim city councilors gave City Manager Steve Burkett another glowing review. Burkett who announced he plans to retire later this year after the completion of the civic center, was given a 1-percent pay increase ahead of his scheduled April annual review. His annual salary goes from $131,081 to $132,392. On Jan. 1, all city staff received a 1-percent raise, which amounted to about $52,000 total.

To accommodate public turnout, the February Dungeness River Management Team meeting is to occur at the Guy Cole Convention Center instead of the DRMT’s regular meeting location at Dungeness River Audubon Center. Officials with Taylor Shellfish Farms are scheduled to present to the team members and attending public information about a potential geoduck farm in Dungeness Bay. At full build-out geoducks are anticipated to inhabit up to 30 acres of a nearly 98-acre project area included in the 350 acres officials with Taylor Shellfish Farms lease from Dungeness Farms, Inc., a duck hunting club. The meeting begins at 2 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 11, at Guy Cole Convention Center, 202 N. Blake Ave.

Dogs

From page A-1 conducted the investigation at the suggestion of shelter executive director Mary Beth Wegener. No wrong-doing wa s found, but some supporters still question the level of care for the dogs. Former volunteer Bob Bish, who runs a Facebook page for the “Forgotten Dogs,” questions how much time the dogs spend in isolation, how much of an effort the shelter makes to seek refuge for the dogs out of the area and how much quality time the dogs have with others. Kellas said since these dogs are brought in by the public and not her or another municipality, then the shelter is not required to euthanize or transfer them to another shelter or sanctuary. “(The report) is about forming policy,” she said. “(The dogs) are well fed, exercised and bedded and cleaner than most kennel dogs. They have blankets and nothing illegal going on there.”

Recommendations In Kellas’ recommendations, she said one of Bish’s recommendations to hire a full-time person to care for the unadoptable dogs is an option but the dogs would need alternative housing because too much time in one place could lead to neurotic behavior in the dogs. She does agree with the shelter’s practice of keeping the dogs out of the public’s eye for their own safety and welfare but not for extended periods of time, too. Kellas also suggested the shelter decide to euthanize all dogs that bite animals as soon as possible or create a set amount of time

to hold the animal and/ or minimum number of contacts to other agencies for transfer before making a decision to euthanize. She also suggested sending each allegedly violent animal to a behaviorist for evaluation. Through her investigation, Kellas said she sought feedback from other shelters on their policies, but those that replied were ambiguous and it appeared little effort was made to place similar dogs elsewhere. “Other shelters don’t go to great lengths to save dogs like this,” Kellas said. “It’s easy for no-kill shelters because they don’t have to take everything but for open admission shelters, they are liable for what the dog does afterward. Ultimately, it’s a hard decision.” Wegener said she’s working with the shelter’s board president Kandice Pierce for a proposed policy on animals with a bite history for the end of February. “Right now it’s on a caseby-case basis,” she said. “Every animal has a period of time where it is shell-shocked. We want to give it time to acclimate and give time to staff to evaluate them. We need to leave the door open a bit.” However, if Kellas brings in a dog that’s deemed dangerous for biting another animal or human and/or killing another animal, then the shelter is required to euthanize the dog. If a resident brings in an alleged violent dog, then the shelter can determine if it should be euthanized or not. As for Kellas’ recommendations, Wegener said some of them aren’t financially realistic. “All of our dogs are exercised each day sometimes two to three times a day,”

Wegener said. “I believe strongly all of our dogs are given a lot of attention.” Hiring a behaviorist is too costly as well, she said. The shelter sent two dogs to a canine behavior academy, including Bailey, the loneremaining unadoptable dog at the shelter, who were rejected for adoption. The other was later adopted elsewhere. Wegener hopes to take future unadoptable dogs to local trainers for evaluations and to train staff more on assessment. “(Being an open admission shelter) we’re not able to say no,” she said. “It does set you up for a lot more work. Open admissions that have the hardest time are with huge intake of 10,000 dogs.” Bish, who used to walk the unadoptable dogs, said this is where the Port Angeles shelter could be different due to its capacity and region. “W hen they compare themselves to the big city kennels, they have the luxury to be better than that,” he said.

Unadoptable dogs As mentioned, the shelter houses only one allegedly dangerous unadoptable dog, Bailey, a 2-year-old yellow lab who has a bite history and is deemed “fear aggressive.” She’s been in the shelter for almost two years. A few weeks ago, 13-yearold Peaches the pitbull, another unadoptable dog who was “very, very dog aggressive,” Wegener said, was euthanized after more than three years in the shelter. “Her health started to decline the past several months,” Wegener said. “She just wasn’t acting herself and not feeling good. (Dr. Suzy Zustiak, shelter veterinarian) made the decision. It’s hard for staff. They get bonded.”

Pooches get Portico Small dogs and their owners can rest easy rain or shine with another permanent shelter in place at the Sequim Dog Park in Carrie Blake Park. The newest shelter, valued at about $1,300, was installed on Jan. 24 and spans between the small and one of two bigger dog areas. Above, dog owners Sandra Sherman and Steve Smith, both of Sequim, enjoy time with their dogs in the small dog area at Sequim Dog Park near the new permanent shelter. Jim Fletcher, a board member with the Sequim Dog Park Pals, said the park’s annual fundraiser in the summer and several donors helped fund the project. It’s the second structure in the park, with the first permanent structure between the two bigger dog areas. The City of Sequim maintains the park’s lawns and volunteers fundraise for it and help install gravel and trim tree branches, Fletcher said. Volunteers look to raise more money for benches in the near future. Learn more about the park by visiting sequimdogparks.org or facebook.com/sequimdogparkpals. Sequim Gazette photo by Matthew Nash

Since starting his online page for the unadoptable dogs, Bish still questions the shelter — including its reported numbers of euthanized and transferred dogs, the amount of time it’s taken to place dogs and if the dogs are truly being transferred or euthanized. “Dogs with bite histories are not easy to place,” Zustiak said. “It’s hard to find one, let alone multiple places.” Bish, who was a volunteer at the shelter for 10 years, was suspended from the facility while his earlier requests for the dogs and shelter were investigated. Wegener said his suspension will remain in place due to continued conflicts with staff, however Bish said he expects to be fully reinstated for his efforts as a volunteer. Wegener and Zustiak both attribute Bish with bringing more awareness to the unadoptable dogs. “It’s true, thanks to Bob a lot of dogs did go faster,” Zustiak said. “We did increase our efforts and with Winter, (a German shepherd formerly at the facility for killing goats and chickens) animal control

Recent totals from 2014 show the shelter housed 1,612 animals with 26 of those being dogs who were euthanized — 18 of those were for behavioral reasons and eight for health reasons. In total, the shelter euthanized 102 animals, including 75 cats and one rat for similar reasons as the dogs. Last year, the shelter held 506 dogs compared to 562 in 2013 with 25 euthanized.

animals or 45 percent of its population and transferred 450 or 28 percent. Zustiak said with 28 regular dog kennels and with seven previously sectioned off for the unadoptable dogs, it didn’t influence her decisionmaking for those dogs’ lives due to space. “We’ve never turned any dogs away or euthanized dogs because of the unadoptable dogs,” she said. “Our policy says we can’t euthanize healthy or adoptable animals.” She said the reason they keep the unadoptable dogs is to save them. “I wish they didn’t have stay in kennels but it’s the only thing we have,” she said. She and Wegener look forward to moving to the new shelter on Old Olympic Highway later this year, which expands kennel space to 45 with indoor/outdoor runs. “It’ll be a better setup hopefully to reduce stress on the dogs,” Wegener said.

redacted her being unadoptable and she got placement because of Bob.” Wegener said Bish was the first during her tenure to request names and locations of where the unadoptable dogs were being transferred but due to privacy policies for donors and adoptees she won’t divulge specifics. She did say three dogs were released to a trusted private citizen, to a farm in Tenino and the Department of Corrections for training to investigate drug trafficking. Bish said, “It’s been worth it for the dogs.”

And the Winners Are… Last fall, Stormwater Stewardship Project Manager Ann Soule ran a contest asking participants to guess when Bell Creek would begin flowing through town and into the ponds at Carrie Blake Park. There were over 100 entries, mostly predicting a January start as was seen last winter. But with the early-season storms this year, the creek began running on December 9, 2014 and hasn’t stopped since. Congratulations to Tobey Clarkin who guessed December 12 and to the third graders from Helen Haller Elementary, who guessed December 15. To learn more about Bell Creek the Stormwater Stewardship project, contact Ann Soule at asoule@ sequimwa.gov or (360) 5822436 or visit the Interpretive Center at the City’s Water Reuse Park (500 N. Blake Ave.) Tobey Clarkin receives a copper fish wall hanging donated by City Utilities Manager Pete Tjemsland. on Wednesdays, 8-10 a.m. or Thursdays, 12-2 p.m. You can also visit the City’s website at www.sequimwa.gov for information, and sign up to receive emails on project updates at http:www.sequimwa.gov/list.aspx (choose email or text notifications for the “Surface Water Management” list).

Thank You City Volunteers! In 2014 volunteers donated nearly 5000 hours of their time to the City of Sequim. Among other things, individuals and teams served the City by caring for City park specialty gardens, street-side planting sites and sections of the Olympic Discovery Trail; scanning and electronically filing documents; living on-site as park docents; inventorying storm drains for the Stormwater Stewardship project, and assisting with special projects. Several groups completed major service projects for the City: Eagle Scout Brandon Grow managed a group of scouts from Troop 1492 to construct a way-finding kiosk on the Olympic Discovery Trail; Eagle Scout Bryce Wood managed a group of scouts from Troop 90 to rebuild a bridge in the Friendship Garden at Carrie Blake Park; Sequim Sunrise Rotary resurfaced and repaired bridges and cleaned benches and sidewalks at Carrie Blake Park; and Girl Scouts from Troop 43578 spread bark at the Fuchsia Garden as an Earth Day project. In addition to the civic volunteers, the 21 Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) put in 3716 hours in 2014. The City of Sequim volunteer program is currently recruiting additional File Clerk volunteers to scan and electronically file documents as part of an ambitious project scheduled for completion prior to the opening of the Sequim Civic Center. Other possible opportunities exist for Water Resource and Garden Volunteers, for 2015 site adoptions and for the VIPS program. Group and individual (including Eagle Scout) service projects can be arranged upon request. Parental permission is required for participants under 18 years of age. Up-to-date information about City of Sequim volunteer opportunities, including detailed volunteer job descriptions, is available on the City website www.sequimwa.gov on the Volunteer tab.

Are you Planning on Building a Fence? The Sequim Municipal Code, Chapter 15.04 gives the exemptions from requiring a building permit for fences that are 7 feet in height or less. The municipal code also provides direction as to the required “site triangle clearance.” If you have a corner property; street or alley, the fence is limited in height to 42 inches above the grade in the site triangle. Such triangular area shall have one angle formed by the front lot line and the side lot line separating the lot from the side street, the length of which lot line sides of the triangle shall be 15 feet. The third side of the triangle shall be a line connecting the two lot lines at the 15-foot point on each. The City Building Services encourages you to contact them if you have any questions about fences. The office is located at 615 N. 5th Avenue and the phone number is 683-4908.

Toilet Paper Only Please! The Public Works Department is asking all residents to help keep the Wastewater system clear and functioning properly by flushing only body waste and toilet paper down the toilet. Popular bathroom wipes or pre-moistened towelettes, often advertised as flushable, are creating clogs and back-ups in sewer systems around the nation. The wipes will flush down the toilet, but they don’t break down through the system. This can result in clogged pipes and pumps that can be expensive to replace. Other items that should not be flushed include: paper towels, baby wipes, feminine hygiene products, household wipes, cosmetic pads, dental floss, condoms, and medical materials.

Photographer and videographer Steve Smith puts people, places and products in their best light — literally and figuratively. Smith, a transplant from Salt City, Utah, to Sequim in August 2013, began his career in still photography and video production at the tender age of 20 at a television station, where he worked for 10 years. Nearly every day driving to work, he said he dreamed of starting his own company. He took the plunge 23 years ago and founded Smith Productions. “The best part is realizing 23 years later I could be selfemployed because I didn’t want to spend my life working for somebody else,” Smith said. “I always thought it was just a dream — like climbing my Mount Everest — and I did it and I’m doing it. It’s having that independence.” Smith and his wife, Cheryl, moved to Sequim to be closer to her family. “It’s been scary because I left my network and support back home, so I’m trying to develop new relationships and find places for equipment rental. It’s been like flying without a net up here. I do story telling through short marketing or profile videos for businesses, individuals and nonprofits, helping to maximize their message to reveal a personality or explain a process.” Smith said most of his jobs have been across the pond, from Lake Stevens to Tacoma, and that they’re generated from his website at www.smithproductions.net. He’s beginning to make a name for himself in the Northwest, producing photos and/or videos for General Dynamics, BizTalk 360, Western Washington University, the University of Albany (SUNY), Pandora Radio, Staples, Costco, Nordstrom’s and Internet Retailer Magazine. However, he’s also done projects for several local dentists, Estes Builders, Lake Quinault Lodge and Clallam County Parks and Recreation featuring promotions on Salt Creek and the Dungeness Valley, and he welcomes more local jobs.

Wise taxpayers may want to take advantage of winter months indoors to prepare for tax filing season this spring. Whether you are a small business owner, a retiree or a new parent, here are some Social Security tax tips that may help you. Are Social Security benefits taxable? Yes, for some people with higher incomes. About one third of those receiving Social Security benefits must pay taxes on some of their Social Security benefits, depending on the amount of their taxable income. See www.socialsecurity.gov/ planners/taxes.htm. Will I get a tax form for my Social Security benefits? Yes. Beneficiaries should receive their Social Security Benefit Statements (Form SSA-1099) for tax year 2014 on or before Jan. 31. If you receive Social Security and didn’t receive your 1099 by the end of January, you can request one at www.socialsecurity.gov/1099. We had a baby in 2014. Does our child need a Social Security number? Yes. Most people apply for their baby’s Social Security number while they’re still in the hospital at the same time they

It’s amazing what we humans can get used to. Fred broke a tooth on a carrot. It didn’t hurt so he wasn’t in a hurry to get it fixed. He got used to it and didn’t think about it. One year later it broke more because the decay which had weakened the tooth in the first place continued on. This time it hurt. The dentist is not sure yet if it is saveable. If it is saveable it will need a root canal and a crown. Moral of the story: sometimes broken things don’t hurt.

register for the birth certificate. But if you didn’t, you’ll need to apply for your child’s Social Security number before you file your tax return in order to claim the child as a dependent. You’ll also need it if you ever apply for government benefits on behalf of your child or your family. See www.socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber. I changed my name when I got married last year. Do I need to report it to Social Security? Yes. If you’ve legally changed your name due to marriage, divorce, court order or for any other reason, make sure you change your name with Social Security, as well as with your employer. If you change with one source but not the other, it could cause your earnings to be improperly recorded and you may not get all the benefits you are entitled to when you become eligible for Social Security in the future. Failing to change your name on your Social Security record also could cause a delay in your receipt of any federal income tax refund. You can learn more about your Social Security number and how to change your name at www. socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber. I own a small business. Can I report my employees’ W-2s to Social Security electronically? Yes and we encourage you to do just that at www.socialsecurity.gov/bso.

Filing your W-2s electronically is free, fast and secure. Plus there’s an added bonus: When you file electronically, you receive an extra month to file because electronically filed W-2s aren’t due until March 31. You’ll also receive an electronic receipt. And when you enter your W-2 information online, you can simultaneously print out the W-2s for your employees. Learn more at www. socialsecurity.gov/employer. Does Social Security have any tips at this time of year for those filing their taxes? Yes. We encourage you to carefully check: your name, Social Security number and all data on your W-2s; your online Social Security Statement; and your Social Security card to make sure they all match. If you don’t have access to your card or statement but know your Social Security number, make sure the number and information is correct on your W-2s. A mismatch could delay your tax refund and cause problems with your Social Security benefits in the future. Such errors are much easier to fix early on. If you do notice an error, contact Social Security at 800-772-1213 (TTY 800325-0778), or if the information on the W-2 is incorrect, notify your employer.

charities and other local community groups. The foundation will be funded with $400,000 cash and the remainder in shares of common stock to total 8 percent of the offering. “The foundation is a part of the bank’s historic tradition of giving and supporting the local community,” Hueth said. Although bank officials began the voting process prior to Thanksgiving, Hueth said the deadline to vote was extended until Jan. 28 to allow as many account holders as possible to vote given the extent on the decision. “Our goal was to truly have a democratic process,” he said. The decision was “not taken lightly” by the board or management Hueth said and admits he has spent much of his six years at the bank working toward and evaluating the conversion as an option. As for the everyday bank customer, nothing will

change, Hueth said. If anything, the bank potentially will offer more services, like the installation of additional interactive teller machines and approval of more loans. “The business that we do is not changing,” Hueth said. Managed by First Northwest Bancorp, a Washington corporation created by First Federal officials as the bank’s holding company, FNWB is expected to sell 13,100,360 shares of common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Since opening in 1923 in downtown Port Angeles, First Federal has grown to include nine branches dispersed in Clallam, Jefferson and Kitsap counties and a lending center in Bellingham.

The new pier and support facilities would be used as a staging area for vessels and crews escorting Navy submarines traveling between Naval Base Kitsap Bangor and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

The U.S. Navy is preparing an Environmental Assessment to analyze the potential environmental effects of the panel, can thus use the information gathered during the regional hearings to make a draft recommendation to the board of county commissioners. The November 2014 draft is an updated version to the county’s nearly 40-year-old SMP.

Wood to retire from bench Clallam County Superior Court Judge George I. Wood, 66, announces he will retire on May 31 after 22 years in the legal profession. He was elected as a WOOD judge of the Superior Court in November 1992 and began his tenure on the bench in January 1993. Wood, 66, began practicing law in Port Angeles in 1974 and was elected judge in 1992. He was re-elected without opposition in five separate elections.

According to SARC executive director Scott Deschenes, OMC officials approached SARC and the YMCA to take over the post-operative transition support of the cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs. “The variety of equipment, classes and pool allow us to help these participants continue a healthy lifestyle,” Deschenes said. “The match between Olympic Medical Heart Center and SARC is an excellent one.” “Camp Cardio” program fees cover the cost of SARC passes for the first three months. Program users get a prescribed workout plan from their physicians and use them at SARC or YMCA facilities. They will use cardio or workout rooms in a kind of open workout, with SARCapproved trainers and staff on hand to advise. Added Pickering, “SARC is pleased to partner with this

Opinion

LETTERS To submit a letter TO THE EDITOR 147 W. Washington St., Sequim, WA 98382 SARC contributes to our health When we moved to Sequim, I was impressed by the many healthy, active, older adults – I still am. This is, in part, due to the fact the many in the community exercise. As a researcher who has studied the effects of exercise on the brain in aged animals and humans, I know the importance of exercise for a healthy brain and for slowing the progress of neurologic diseases. Every study shows that exercise (whether walking, hiking, swimming, dancing, etc.) is important for brain health as well as for the heart and lungs and the bones. While there are many opportunities to exercise in this beautiful area, not everyone can move for 30 minutes on land. When movement on land is difficult due to degenerative joint disease or neurologic disease, movement in a pool is an excellent alternative. Additionally, for those with joint replacement, time to heal is shortened with pool exercise. SARC has the only public swimming pool in the Sequim area. Without SARC many of the people in our community would have no opportunity to exercise. This could have a very negative effect, not just on general health, but also on brain health. Sequim would not be the same vibrant and active and appealing place to live. The elderly are not the only segment of the population that needs exercise. Our young people need to have good exercise habits early in life. Family Pool Night and family events at SARC are an excellent way to instill a good exercise habit and for the family to exercise together. Pools are expensive to maintain which is why there are so few on the Olympic Peninsula (including therapeutic pools). The cost of keeping a full range of exercise opportunities in Sequim would be only $12 per year for each $100,000 (assessed) value of a home. My own and other research indicates that this is a cheap way to maintain our generally healthy population. Vote YES for SARC. Marsha Melnick, PT, PhD Sequim

School quality can be deal breaker I recently tried to see a physician at the clinic where the rest of my family receives their health care. I was told that there is a waiting list of 1,000 people ahead of me. Shortage of primary health care professionals is nothing new. But what I wanted to voice today is the state of the schools and how this relates to recruiting young energetic families to come into our community. We are currently trying to fill a position in the department of the hospital in which I work. One of the first questions we get is about the school system. It was at the top of my list when I was recruited to come to Sequim 10 years ago. It can be a deal breaker for many young professionals that are being recruited by many different communities and settings. We need to take care of the school system for many reasons including being able to support young professionals that provide needed services in our community. Kendal Wake Sequim

SARC promotes healthy lifestyle There are those in the Sequim area who question the need for SARC and why they should support it with tax dollars. Simply put, SARC is important to this community. It is where your children have been or can be taught to swim in a safe environment by professionals. It is where you or your parents and older children can exercise with instruction on state of the art equipment and relax in the pool area. There is a great lot of data indicating that exercise is critical for health. Exercise is an important for maintaining a healthy weight and for healthy growth at all ages. Exercise contributes to good mental health and exercise has been shown to be critical to successful aging. As people age they are often limited in the kinds of exercise they can perform. SARC provides a range of options to keep our older community active and healthy. For all adults there are yoga and floor exercise groups and lessons.

For those who have limitations there are pool exercise classes limiting joint impacts. Many individuals with movement problems come to SARC for rehabilitation to maintain or regain function. You may not have time or need for these options now. However, you will if you are fortunate enough to grow older or misfortunate to become injured or physically impaired by diseases. If you do not support SARC now, it will not be there when you want to use the facilities. Vote for the SARC levy for you and the community. Kent Shellenberger, PhD Sequim

Pay it forward, support bond I am the grandfather of children in the Sequim School District. I support the district’s bond proposal because I believe that good public schools are an integral part of community infrastructure. They are equal in importance to roads, parks, police, fire, water and sewer. We need modern and adequate public schools if Sequim is to remain a healthy and vibrant community that is attractive to all age groups. When children receive a quality education, they are better prepared as adults to participate not only in the workforce but in the civic and cultural affairs of the community as well. We all want Sequim to continue to flourish as a desirable location to live, work and raise families. We want our community to grow in a reasonable manner that protects the values that make Sequim attractive to us. High quality public schools are essential to maintaining this type of community. The founding fathers of our country recognized that free public education is essential to the wellbeing of a democratic society and a free enterprise economy. But we all know that public education is not exactly free. Somebody paid for us when we were children and now it’s our turn to pay it forward. This is the contract between generations. Education enabled us to participate in the economic opportunities offered in our country and now we need to prepare others for these same opportunities so that our community, our state and our nation remain strong and continue to provide world leadership. Jon Wendt Sequim

Support for district bond issue I believe in public schools. Taking care of schools is a priority if you value your community. Public schools are a significant focal point of our community at any age. As hard as we may want to say they do not affect me because I don’t have any students in them, they still provide a valued place where we gather as a community to root for a sport team, attend a concert, to show off our quilts, walk the dog, breathe a little easier for the open space they provide, to maintain our fitness, to seek shelter and gathering space when there is an emergency, or something we just show off to visitors of our city. More importantly, it is one of the places we prepare and educate the next generation of community and industry leaders. The Sequim school facilities that provide these multi-generational spaces and functions need to be updated and reconstructed. My professional career has been centered around finding solutions for developing and preserving infrastructure needed for safe and multifunctional community activities and services. My personal involvement in studying and discussing the facilities analysis of the school buildings, grounds and classrooms has helped me understand it is time to fix, update and replace some significant infrastructure elements of the Sequim School District assets. The investment is needed to help the Sequim School District provide the safe, sustainable and functional facilities our community needs. Please join me in voting YES on the Sequim School District bond issue. Paul S. Haines Sequim

Why should we? As we approach yet another voting opportunity to support our schools, The Sequim Association of Realtors® wanted to add some perspective as to the necessity of voting for the bond. As many of you know, realtors are oftentimes the first point of contact to any community. We act as educators and guides introducing Sequim for what it is: a vibrant, clean, caring community located in one of the most beautiful areas of the world. In examining what is being debated and what is at stake, the local realtor association is supporting the new bond proposal. There is a boatload of information available to the public to explain why we need to pass a bond. The only way to build or improve our capital facilities is through a bond. But why now? • It costs less to get more. The old bond retires and the 1996 transportation levy also retires. If the bond passes, our total local schools tax rate in 2016 will be less than we paid in 2013. Our total schools tax rate in 2016 will be $2.23 per $1,000

Editor’s note: Because of the abundance of letters to the editor, Our “Verbatim” feature is on hiatus for a week and will reappear in a future edition. Because our next edition comes out Feb. 11, the day after the Feb. 10 special election, we will not be accepting letters in the coming week regarding the Sequim School District bond or Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center levy proposals. — MD

SEQ

Playing it safe, Part II The Feb. 10 school district bond is sharing the ballot with SARC, the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center. From what I read, the SARC board never quite got over losing two levies, one at 12 cents per thousand and the second at 10 cents in 2002. That’s actually a remarkable outcome when you consider that it only cost the median house owner about $26 a year. Apparently, they felt so spurned by the community and I can’t say I blame them; the board either let maintenance slide or dipped into reserves to pay for it over the past decade. A former board member was so frustrated with board inaction that he resigned in 2006 when the board would not act to put forth another levy to fund what he con-

sidered serious facility issues. The board has put forth a levy this year with an assessment of the same 12 cents per thousand. The situation has become so dire that the board is staking the life of the only community pool on the outcome. More than a whiff of desperation is coming from poolside at the SARC. Letters are flowing in from SARC users matching, if not exceeding, those sent to support or oppose the school levy. I’m just wondering what they would call the aquatic center without a pool.

Who are the voters? The voters who defeated the 2002 SARC levy and 2014 school district bond had effectively stifled vision and put these two community resources in their places. I wondered who they were and discovered the following voter facts.

You

can impact the availability of quality physicians locally by voting YES for the school construction bond. • Our 2,700 children need the best education we can give them. To maximize the education we offer our children, facilities and technology are critical. Up-to-date science labs, significantly improved elementary schools and many other facility improvements better position students and teachers to excel. The promise of the U.S. always has been that each generation sacrifices for the next generation so they may have greater opportunities. The “American Dream” is under intense pressure and today’s children need an excellent education to keep this country moving forward. Sequim children

can’t vote but we certainly can give them the best opportunity to succeed. • Sadly, Sequim schools are falling apart. The facility bond will address some of the most significant problems. Our school board listened to our community and revised the Facility Plan to address the highest priorities, while keeping the cost of the bond affordable for our taxpayers. Thankfully, due to extremely low interest rates, it will never be cheaper to fund these much needed improvements. Low interest rates may come to an end. Inflation will make construction costs go up if we further defer this work. Kicking the can down the road is not in the best interest of taxpayers. In addition, the bond proposal takes advan-

tage of $4.3 million of state matching funds which may not be available in the future. • If this bond passes, the total property tax supporting our local schools will be $2.23 per $1,000 in 2016, which is lower than the rate in 2013 of $2.30. It is way below the average of all other school districts across the state, which is $4.44 per $1,000. In 2013, local school taxes included $1.57 for an Educational Programs and Operation Levy and 73 cents for the 1996 bond to pay for the new middle school. If the levy passes, in 2016 local school taxes will include $1.60 for an Educational Programs and Operation Levy and .63 cents for this facilities bond. Therefore, if the bond passes, we will have a lower property tax rate to support

our local school district in 2016 than we paid in 2013 and get these much needed facility improvements! I think this passes the test of affordability! My two children are too old to benefit from these new facilities, but I am going to vote for these facilities. Sequim needs more physicians. Sequim needs to be a place for kids to get an excellent education, and facilities must be improved to meet the demands for classrooms, current technology and security. Please join me in supporting this bond as we help determine the future direction of our community. Lewis is CEO of Olympic Medical Center, a Sequim resident and father of Sequim school students.

assessed value ($1.60 for the Educational Programs & Operations Levy passed in 2013 plus 63 cents for the bond). • Sequim is growing. Our children are attending a school built for boomers. Helen Haller is too small to handle the growing population. • Waste not want not. A & D buildings will be repurposed to house the Olympic Peninsula Academy. • NO MORE PORTABLES! New and more secure classroom space will replace them. Did you know that the amount of square footage found in our 25 portables is equivalent to the size of an elementary school? • Build a new elementary school. We can’t fix the old until we build the new. We will have permanent classroom space for all-day kindergarten, four classrooms and a gym at Greywolf Elementary and in the high school six science and two music classrooms. High school Building B will have four rooms repurposed into general education rooms. • Our antiquated World War II surplus kitchen equipment has given us good service over these many years. But this equipment is breaking down and parts are no longer available. We are serving too many meals for the space we have and this building needs remodeling. There are deficits to our community in living with a school district struggling to meet the needs of a growing school population. The most obvious to me is attracting doctors. Doctors choose a community based, in part, on their impression of schools. We need good doctors and other professionals as boomers swell the ranks of retirees. We would like to offer all of our children safe, secure, technologically advanced learning environments. An adequate physical plant is just one cog in that system. We need to be ready to meet the challenges that growth brings to our educational system. Please vote yes and get the ball rolling. Karen Pritchard Sequim (Pritchard is president of the Sequim Association of Realtors.)

District has done its due diligence Last year I expressed and lobbied in opposition of the Sequim School bond proposal, not for lack of support for our children or public schools, but for the overall costs expenditure being

beyond the public reach. The Sequim School Board did indeed hear the message of their constituents that they represent. The physical needs of the district are indeed real, and not imagined. They did not drop the ball to wait for another five years, but acted accordingly. Superintendent Kelly Shea was charged with identifying and prioritizing the district’s needs for the most urgent of those needs to be addressed, and how they may be accomplished. Not an easy task. Together Superintendent Shea, along with Director of Business Operations Brian Lewis, and numerous other members of our community came up with suggestions and alternatives. Now always keeping affordability in mind, these were presented to the Sequim School Board of Directors. During this process there was an active dialogue of questions and considerations. The results of their deliberations are the current bond proposal. I was an active observer during these meetings and can say that all parties worked diligently toward the benefit of our children. I believe this current proposal to be within the financial reach of the Sequim School District. My hope is that every person who is entitled to vote will indeed exercise that right and the responsibility to do so. My hope and encouragement is that you vote in favor of this current bond proposal. Jeff Killian Sequim

Clarifying SARC’s purpose In your article in the Jan. 14 edition, “Ballots out for SARC Levy” (Sequim Gazette, Jan. 21, page A-1), there is an apparent misconception of the purpose of the Clallam County Parks and Recreation district, better known as SARC. Many changes have been made in the past year and a half since the board hired Scott Deschenes as executive director. These changes have brought in many people that had not been using the facility, including young families with babies and toddlers, teenagers, millennials, while continuing to serve all that had long been using the facility. SARC is not a business, it is a public community asset, belonging to all the citizens. The mission and purpose for which it was built and has been operated is to provide a swimming pool and recreation facility to serve the widest number of people of the Sequim Valley. The fact that we can cover 80 percent of the cost to operate the facility versus a national average of 65 percent shows that the board and

Seventy-two percent of voters who voted in one and 77 percent of voters who voted in both of the Feb. 12, 2013, and April 22, 2014, school levy/bond issues were 60 years of age or older.

These sports steal funds from Goals 1 and 2 by spending great quantities of money on a relatively select few student athletes, to the detriment of education of the masses. All interscholastic sports teams require coaches, expensive facilities, medical services, training facilities and equipment, transportation, uniforms, shoes, helmets/ headgear and the list goes on. Neither the last proposed education tax levy ($200+ million) nor this one (~$50 million) is for education, per se. Both comprise new and/or renovated facilities, i.e., “adequate educational infrastructure,” a responsibility of the Legislature. Adequate infrastructure is an educational necessity to accommodate willing students, teachers, teaching materials and curricula — and legislative education appropriations should NOT accommodate expensive interscholastic sports and facilities!

SARC benefits Sequim’s economy

I have several times heard SARC members say, they wouldn’t be living here if it were not for SARC. That is likely an exaggeration in some cases, but not in all. This facility is an attractive addition to Sequim’s lifestyle. It helps bring in new residents and keep existing residents, thus maintaining property values and building a customer base for local businesses. I have met a number of folks who come here from their homes in Port Angeles and Port Townsend, patronizing local stores and restaurants while they are here. SARC is good for local business, good for Sequim’s economy and tax base, good for you — whether or not you ever go there. Howard Hupe Sequim

Children need attention and teaching to support the flickering lights of their unique brilliance. And yup, our schools need our money to help them. Bertha D.

School district needs upgrade, durable buildings I was lucky to grow up in a community that understood the importance of quality teachers and excellent curriculum. It also recognized the need for durable, extensible school buildings. My grade school building was at least 30 years old when I attended it 50 years ago. It’s still in use today, remodeled over the years to meet changing student needs. Unfortunately, many of our school buildings in Sequim were constructed without this mandate for durability. The portion of the Community School still useable for teaching is occupied by OPA, the alternative school. Classrooms are arranged in three noncontiguous segments of the building as pods of open

Ruth Marie Pinkerton

February 12, 1948 ~ January 23, 2015 Ruth Marie Pinkerton, Age 66, passed away January 23, 2015 at Avamere Heritage Care Center in Tacoma, Washington. She was born February 12, 1948 in Port Angeles, Washington to Allan D. and Frances Mayberry Pinkerton. She grew up on a 40 acre dairy farm in Sequim, Washington and attended school there as well. Ruth worked many jobs including short order cook, in home care giver, nursing home aid, and house keeper at a motel. She even worked on a goat farm in Gig Harbor, Washington and on a dairy farm in Sequim. She came back to the family home on Brown Road to live until three and a half years ago. She was very good at crafts and liked bead work best. Ruth is survived by her sisters Barbara Radich of Joyce, Washington and Mary Watkins of Cathlamet, Washington; and numerous nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers please send donations to your nearest animal shelter. No service will be held at this time.

floor plan spaces. Noise bleeding between these classrooms with no doors is just one of the many problems. Consider also that the district conducts classes in no fewer than 25 temporary portable classrooms, some of which have no plumbing or have been in service here for over 20 years. At a time when our community is constructing a state-of-the-art civic center – a worthy project – I find the conditions under which we teach our children to be embarrassing. This school bond is a wellconsidered start toward correcting these conditions. It provides for a durable school building in a location where it’s needed, eliminates the need for more than half of the portable classrooms, and gets OPA out of its present untenable location. A yes vote on Feb. 10 won’t fix everything, but it is a crucial and essential beginning. Steven Humphrey Sequim

Many reasons to support schools and SARC We don’t have any kids, nor do I like to exercise indoors – I prefer the Olympic Discovery Trail – so why would I support the schools and SARC? Maybe because coming here from the outside, it’s

more apparent what a truly special place Sequim is. The warm sense of community is palpable here. Maybe it’s because when I was a youth, someone paid for my school’s funding. Maybe it’s because when I ripped my shoulder, I found that exercising it in a pool – in the community I was living in at the time — provided the best rehabilitation. Maybe it’s because how impressive the youth that I have encountered since moving here has been. I have witnessed youths’ respectful behavior between each other, toward adults and toward themselves. This is a testament not only to the youths but to their parents and our community educators. Until encountering glaring, surly, foul-mouthed, youngsters, one can’t really appreciate how much of the feeling of a community is impacted by its youth. Maybe it’s because as a child, I learned to swim in a pool. As a result, I’ve enjoyed water sports, safely, throughout my lifetime. Maybe it’s because the improvements in the school system are not just for the student. The educators we have are hardworking and effective and deserve any support we can provide. Maybe because we enjoyed “Les Misérables” in the school’s auditorium, another public resource.

Harry Douglas Nelson July 8, 1938 - January 24, 2015

Harry was born on July 8, 1938, son of Arvid and Kathryn Nelson in Seattle. A Cleveland High School graduate, he attended the University of Washington and University of Oregon. Harry met his future wife and lifelong love, Gail, a Holy Rosary Seattle graduate, and the daughter of Henry and Marge Muyllaert. They married on September 28, 1957, and raised five children, living in SeaTac; Eugene, Oregon; Browns Point; and West Seattle. Harry worked for Borden Chemical, Boeing, Montgomery Ward, Levitz Furniture, Alpine Fence, Boeing again, and finally, “Call Harry”, his baptism into private business as a lawn and field specialist. They retired to Sequim where they built the beautiful 5 acre “Nelson’s Duckpond and Lavender Farm”. Harry was a pioneer in the Sequim lavender growing business. Their farm created a legacy that people from all over the world enjoy, and come back year after year to see what Harry and Gail created. They eventually moved to the Sunland Golf and Country Club in Sequim. Harry was a man of many interests. He was an avid reader. He loved to fish and occasionally hunted. His kids will tell you he was the original “blue-tarp camper”. He owned many boats in his lifetime. He once built, drove, crashed and sank a hydroplane. Harry was a terrific skier who taught ski school and maintained those skills late into life. He would tell you he was a good golfer, but rarely was able to demonstrate it. He and Gail were original Seahawks season ticket holders, so we’re sure dad will be shouting “Go Hawks!” from Heaven on Sunday. Gail occasionally referred to him as “twinkle-toes” due to his love of dancing. He was a kind man who loved to laugh and always had a smile on his face, a trait he thankfully passed down to his children and grandchildren. Harry was a fantastic husband, father and grandfather. He is survived and beloved by his family: sister Margaret (Cal) Ferguson; brother Paul; wife Gail; children Gretchen (Rick) Reynolds, Chris (Linda) Nelson, Randy (Andrea) Nelson, Jennifer Nelson and Amy (Jeff) Lundstrom; grandchildren Erik, Tyler, Thomas, Ryan, Olivia, and Tilly. Services will be held at noon on Monday, February 16 at Saint Joseph’s Parish, 121 E. Maple St, Sequim, with a celebration of Harry’s life following at 1:00 P.M at Sunland Golf and Country Club,109 Hilltop Dr., Sequim. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial donations to the Alzheimer’s Association at www.alz. org.

Lomida “Mama Lou” Vysma March 30, 1923 - January 20, 2015

“Mama Lou” Vysma was born March 30, 1923 in Djakarta, Indonesia, daughter of Geraldine Ipsen and Isaac de Vries. She attended a Catholic girl’s parochial school, became an accomplished pianist, and married Leon de Haan, an officer in the Dutch Military stationed in Indonesia. During World War II, as a wife of a Dutch military officer, she was held in a Japanese internment camp. Following the end of the war in 1945, she worked at Columbia Pictures until immigrating to Holland in 1950 with her mother and daughter. There she was employed by RKO Radio Pictures, European distributors of the Walt Disney film products, and married Humphrey Vysma in 1955. With the assistance of the Disney organization, she immigrated to the United States in 1956 and settled in Los Angeles, California where she went to work for Columbia Pictures once again. She studied law, passed the bar examination, and worked for Universal Studios and in private practice until her retirement in 1972, which then allowed her the time to indulge in her greatest passion – arts and crafts. In 1995, she moved to Sequim, Washington where she passed away peacefully on January 20th, 2015. She leaves a brother (Dirk de Vries of Henderson, Nevada); her daughter, Marijke (Henrik) Elbo of Sequim; her precious dog Coquette; a niece (Astrid) and nephew (Mario) – both residing in Holland; loving caregivers and a host of friends, many of whom will always remember ‘Mama Lou’ as a unique flower in life’s bouquet who loved parties and animals. A funeral mass will be held at St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church, 121 Maple Street, Sequim, Friday, February 6th at 11:00 A.M with a reception following. Interment will be at Ocean View Cemetery in Port Angeles. In lieu of flowers, please make a contribution to any organization helping animals in need (e.g. WAG, Friends of Animals, Olympic Peninsula Humane Society, SPCA, etc.).

We would like to thank you Sequimsters for welcoming my wife and me into your community. Everyone we speak to is kindly, encouraging and helpful. This is a very special place. Bob Lake Sequim

In order to properly plan for the dance and make it the envisioned success, Jackson admits she’s “very fortunate” to have the help of both parent and student volunteers, as well as the club staff. Unlike like last year’s Daddy Daughter Dance, Jackson is collaborating with the Rainbow Girls to give out party favors. “I am really excited to working with the Rainbow Girls for this,” she said. The dance is one of a handful of smaller fundraising events the clubs’s staff host throughout the year to help support the organization given memberships are $30 per year. But, both Jackson and Miller agree, the dance isn’t about raising funds as much as it is about providing the platform for a special evening for daughters and their dads. “Last year was a lot of fun and a huge success,” Jackson said. “I anticipate another really fun dance and more participation.” Boys & Girls Clubs staff raised $1,600 at last year’s dance and have since upped the funding goal to $2,000.

Focused on creating a unique and memorable experience for fathers and daughters to share, staff at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula prepare to host their annual Daddy Daughter Dance, Saturday, Feb. 7. “This dance is really at the essence of what we are here,” Dave Miller, Boys & Girls Clubs Carroll C. Kendall unit director, said. “It fosters healthy relationships and it’s important for girls to know and have a good male role model.” Although the dance is titled the Daddy Daughter Dance, organizer of the event and club membership coordinator Tessa Jackson said the dance isn’t restricted to fathers, but open to brothers, uncles, grandfathers or any primary male figure or role model. Relying on the help of staff and volunteers, Jackson will transform the Sequim facility into an elegant space for dancing and dinning. Differing from last year, Jackson said a pasta bar is on the menu so each person can customize their own meal. Also, to appease everyone’s musical taste, songs will range from classics, like the Macarena and modern hits to older tunes for the dads to enjoy, Jackson said.

Murphy, Clallam County sheriff’s investigator, retires On Jan. 15, Sheriff Bill Benedict presented Special Deputy Gary Murphy with a Commendation Award for his 12 years of dedicated volunteer service to the cold case squad of the Sheriff’s Office. During this period, Murphy was instrumental in creating the cold case squad, establishing policies and procedures for the unit, as well as personally handling many cold cases. He directly participated in updating the files, including DNA, of eight Clallam County MURPHY residents who disappeared under suspicious circumstances. Murphy worked directly on the cold homicide cases of Janet Rowland, Wayne Tricky, Richard Goodman and Norman Bullion. Of particular note was his work in the 1986 Norman Bullion homicide case. Through his tenacious efforts, the body was found and the crime solved. This brought closure to family members and friends who never doubted that he was the victim of foul play. Murphy donated hundreds of hours of his time, expertise and skills toward making Clallam County a safer and better place to live. The Sheriff’s Office and community extend their heartfelt thanks and appreciation for his selfless service and dedication.

Hall completes basic

Five Sequim-area students recently were n a med to We ster n Washington University’s honor roll. They are: Alastair Duncan, Saul Flores, Jasmine McMullin, Isaac Powell and Brittany Vereide. To qualify for the honor roll, students must complete at least 14 graded credit hours during a quarter and be in the top 10 percent of their class.

Army Pvt. Logan J. Hall has graduated from basic combat training at Fort Jackson, Columbia, S.C. During the nine weeks of training, the soldier studied the Army mission, history, tradition and core values, and received instruction and practice in basic combat skills, military weapons, chemical warfare and bayonet training, drill and ceremony, marching, rifle marksmanship, armed and unarmed combat, map reading, field tactics, military courtesy, military justice system, basic first aid, foot marches and field training exercises. Hall is the son of Cory Hall of Sequim. He is a 2011 graduate of Sequim High School.

The Olympic Peninsula Humane Society has received a gift of annuities totaling approximately $80,000 from an anonymous donor for the shelter’s Dig Deep capital campaign. The gift was made in honor of the couple’s granddog, “Titus.” Titus is a Great Pyrenees mix and is a rescue dog adopted by the couple’s daughter. Titus will be appropriately recognized in the new dog kennel building once it is complete. This gift brings the total funds raised for Dig Deep to $1.13 million. OPHS is still working to raise an additional $300,000 for the project. The funds will be used to help complete construction of the dog kennel building at the Humane Society’s new site on Old Olympic Highway. Hoch Construction is the general contractor of the project, Lindberg and Smith Architects is the architect and project manager. The goal is for OPHS to move to the new site by the fall. If you have questions about the Humane Society’s planned giving program, call the shelter at 457-8206. The Olympic Peninsula Humane Society, a private,nonprofit corporation, has maintained an active presence in the community since 1947. The society shelters and cares for animals of all types.

by CHRIS DUFF For the Sequim Gazette

I don’t remember when, or for that matter, where I was when I first thought of rowing from Scotland to Iceland. I think rowing the North Atlantic is somehow in my Scottish/Irish heritage; a continuation of my ancestors’ wandering quest for what lay over the horizon. For three summer seasons I rowed a 19-foot custom-built rowing boat through Scotland’s Northern and Western Isles, across 200 miles of open ocean to the Faeroe Islands, and then on to Iceland, a further voyage of 500 miles. Throughout those three summers, I rowed into the lives of coastal people who understood the challenges of tides, severe currents and the infamous weather of the North Atlantic. And while the winds and the seas held me for long periods of time within the protection of seawalls and small

village harbors, I learned of the lives of those hardy and independent people. I shared meals at their kitchen tables, danced their traditional Circle Dances, stood in silent wonder at their ancient ruins and watched them gather around memorials set against gray skies that called to mind the tragic loss of those who never came

back from the sea. In those small coastal communities I was welcomed in as family because of the unspoken bond that sailors of any size boat share once they have endured what others can only imagine. When the winds and seas allowed, my new friends would gather at the harbors of their villages and bid me farewell with handshakes, hugs and tears all around. And as the last blessings were called out, I would promise to return someAbout the presentation: day, reluctantly cast off the lines that When: 7 p.m., Thursday, held Northern Reach and take the Where: Sequim High School library, 601 N.

Rep. Derek Kilmer took time recently to meet with a small group of local agricultural producers to learn more about the challenges and opportunities they face operating food-production businesses on the North Olympic Peninsula. Organized by Clea Rome at the WSU Extension office, the diverse group included among others, Ryan McCarthey from Dungeness Valley Creamery, Tom and Holly Clark of Clark Farms, Kia Armstrong and Sam McCullough representing Nash’s Organic Produce, and Ben Smith of Maple View Farm. A handful of common themes arose during the conversation – but above all was the difficulty of complying with state and federal regulations. All producers, regardless of size, have to deal with complex rules, most written by and for large scale agribusiness interests. Policies, which large corporations growing mono-crops of corn and soy find simple to comply with thanks to their Compliance Department back at the home office, are overwhelming obstacles for small or mid-size diversified farms such as Nash’s. A great example is The Food Sa fet y Modernization Act signed into law by President Obama in January 2011. In theory, it sounds like progress. The law gives the FDA increased authority to monitor and regulate every step of the food chain; the basic goal being traceability of each piece of produce and every cut of meat from the grocery store all the way back to the field. Unfortunately, laws written to solve the problems of industrialized food production only add to the difficulties encountered by small and mid-size producers. The standards for water and soil management, seemingly logical for a farm growing only corn and soy using chemical fertilizers and pesticides, are not at all in line with organic farming best practices. Training and documentation rules easily handled on a mechanized mono-farm are nearly impossible to implement with a staff of 40 people who do everything from pull weeds to work the cash register. All the local small-scale producers in attendance pointed out their commitment – and vested interest – in food safety. Not only do these producers have their

Port Angeles overwhelms Sequim on hardwood GIRLS BASKETBALL by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

For spurts last Friday night, Sequim looked to start a winning streak of its own against Port Angeles.

But the girls, almost a month later, seemed to lack focus, said head coach Evan Still. “It’s only going to get harder from here,” he said to the girls, who sit in fourth place in the Olympic League as of Feb. 2. With districts beginning Feb. 11, Sequim could move up or down. If North Kitsap (5-5) loses its next two games, including one to Sequim, then the Wolves could claim third. But the Vikings finish their season Friday in Bremerton (1-9). The top five teams go to districts with the Roughriders in fifth and playing Bremerton on Tuesday and Kingston (9-1) on Thursday.

With his Wolves up a dozen points after the end of one quarter, Sequim head coach Greg Glasser wasn’t ready to assume the game was in hand. Not with the pesky Roughriders on the court. Sequim’s boys basketball squad fended off a spate of turnovers and held off their rivals from Port Angeles on Jan. 30 with a 48-37 win. The Wolves got 18 points, nine rebounds and seven steals from Alex Barry, who helped hold Port Angeles to just two points in the first quarter and 14 points in the first half. Sequim raced to a 14-0 advantage with 50 seconds left in the first quarter but never seemed to break away from the host Riders, who forced 18 Sequim turnovers for the game. “We turned the ball over way too much,” Glasser said. “We had a chance to put a team down (and) we should have.” A Vance Willis three-point play gave Sequim its biggest lead at 25-6 in the second quarter, but from then on it

was a kind of sloppy slugfest between the rivals. Unlike the last time the teams met (a Jan. 9, 52-46 Sequim win), Port Angeles couldn’t even up the game after falling behind early. The Roughriders closed this contest to within nine points at 34-25 on a Noah McGoff 3-pointer, but Sequim answered with an Alex Rutherford basket and Willis bomb, pushing the Sequim lead to 14 entering the fourth quarter. “We did a good job handling poise all

Barry and Josh McConnaughey (five rebounds, four blocks) helped lead a stout Sequim defense.Oliver finished with nine points, Willis had seven and Dustin Bates added four assists. “We know on any give night, anyone can contribute,” Barry said. Hathaway led Port Angeles with 10 points and Rogers added eight, but struggled from the free-throw line (0-for-8).

Sharing the tumbling mat Sequim High gymnast duo joins Port Angeles crew for ’14-’15 season by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

For French exchange student Julie Pineau, some things need little translation. For example, the thought of quick, strong strides leading to flips and turns and twists simply brings a smile to her face. “I feel like I’m flying.” Pineau and fellow Sequim High student Ennisa Albin have joined forces with more than a dozen Port Angeles athletes for the 2014-2015 high school season. Since Sequim has no team, athletes like Pineau and Albin are allowed to compete and

score for the combined squad, although they are in a sense “on their own” come the postseason, says Port Angeles/Sequim team head coach Megan Hoover. Instead of joining Port Angeles athletes if the Roughriders advance to regionals and state meets, the Sequim athletes will have to try for postseason berths as individuals. While the students may come from different schools, that doesn’t seem to be an issue, the coach says. “I think there’s a big sense of camaraderie,” Hoover says. “They’re all part of the team.” The transition to the team for

Albin, a freshman at SHS, was relatively easy. A gymnast since third grade, she and family soon moved to the peninsula and she took middle school classes in Port Angeles. Like nearly all of the gymnasts on the Port Angeles squad, Albin also competes for the club Klahhane Gymnastics team. Her favorite events? Easy. “Floor and beam,” she says. Hoover says those are Albin’s best events, too (bars and vault are the two others high schoolers compete in). The coach says Albin is one of few athletes to have routines worth a possible 10 points; most have eight-point value routines. The transition for Pineau was not as simple. While her sister

Sequim crew eyes postseason berths Sequim Gazette staff

In their final regular season meet of the 2014-2015 season, several Sequim swimmers inched closer to postseason-qualifying marks. As for Sequim’s diving crew, they got a change in responsibilities. Damage to Bremerton YMCA’s pool diving board pedestal kept Sequim divers Matthew Craig and

Adrian Gonzalez from any dives so they wound up swimming in two individual events each in the Wolves’ 108-60 loss to the Knights on Jan. 29. S e q u i m s en ior Er ic Prosser continued his pursuit of state meet-qualifying times, trimming more than two seconds off his 200 individual medley mark (2:14) and he is about two seconds from a state berth in the event.

Prosser tallied a personal best in the breaststroke by 0.11 seconds and has now qualified for every individual district meet event. He helped Sequim’s 200 medley relay start the meet strong with a 2:18, swimming a 27.98-second butterfly leg, and churned through his 200 free relay leg in 23.96 seconds — his second-best split this season — to help the team (Prosser, brother Charlie Prosser, Christian Goodrich and Chase Ridgway) earn a season-best

mark of 1:55.28. “The other swimmers didn’t swim their best 50 times, so I expect they still could qualify for districts in this event,” Sequim coach Linda Moats said. In the 200 free, Sequim’s Brandon Grow set a personal best by 11 seconds to place second and Gonzalez dropped three seconds off his previous best. In the same event, Craig, one of Sequim’s divers, earned a solid 3:01 mark — five seconds off of third place — despite not

swimming at any practice during the season. Sequim’s Wendall Lorenzen broke the 30-second mark in the 50 free — a three-second personal best for the season — and shed 33 seconds from his 500 free mark as he pursues a district meet-qualifying time. Goodrich dropped 24 seconds off his 100 butterfly time and set a personal best in the 100 backstroke. Sequim (0-6) was slated to compete in a divisional meet in Port Angeles on Feb. 3 —

BOYS, GIRLS WRESTLING

SHS girls ready for sub-regionals with strong tourney efforts Sequim Gazette staff

The Wolves split for two tournaments last weekend with the girls in Everett and the junior varsity boys in Port Angeles. Sequim’s girls took seventh at the Lady Wolfpack tournament hosted by Jackson High School with 94.5 points, two finalists DITLEFSEN and five medalists. Kaylee Ditlefsen (140 pounds) and Alma Mendoza (125) both placed second in their brackets. Ditlefsen won with two pins and a 9-4 win over Bethany Davis of Yelm before being pinned by Olivia Adams of Blaine in 2:47 in the finals. Mendoza also pinned two and took a 1-0 win over Brianna Galvan of Steilacoom before losing 9-3 to Erin Redford

of White River. Both Sophia Cornell (110) and Kiara Pierson (115) tied for third with Cornell pinning two and winning 6-3 over Ana Sanchez of Federal Way while Pierson also pinned two, and took two wins at 8-2 and at 11-2 over Sarah Kollar of Yelm for third. The Wolves’ other finisher, Andrea Kienholtz at 155, tied for seventh with two pins. This weekend, the girls compete at sub-districts on Feb. 7 at Decatur High MENDOZA School in Federal Way with finalists traveling to regionals in Yelm the following weekend. Boys compete in sub-regionals Feb. 6-7 in Port Angeles with regionals the following weekend at Sedro Woolley High School. The Mat Classic 2A State Finals are

Feb. 20-21 in the Tacoma Dome. While Sequim’s boy varsity wrestlers took a breather, the junior varsity team went to Port Angeles on Jan. 31 for the Olympic Mountain Wrestling Challenge. Two boys, Bailey Hodgson (120) and Hayden Gresli (132) won two matches with Hodgson winning in a 10-0 major decision over Marcos Lopez and pinning Carson Jackson in 3:20, both of Port Angeles. Gresli had two pins over David Treese of Port Angeles in 2:37 and Aubra Morris in 41 seconds of the Kitsap Ironman. Four Wolves had one win with AJ Avila (138) pinning Angel Rivero Garcia of Port Angeles in 5:10, Aaron Andrews (145) pinning Michael Miles of Port Angeles in 1:32, Dylan Perreira (170) pinning Trenton Teter of Port Angeles in 1:52 and Nicholas Barrett (285) pinning Austin Adamire in 1:49.

Girls hoops would. They took an early 7-1 lead behind four points from Victoria Cummins and a 3-pointer from Caitlin Stofferahn but Hayley Baxley hit a 3-pointer before quarter’s end cutting the lead to three. Port Angeles took the lead for good at 6:30 into the second quarter with two free throws from Natalie Steinman. Sequim went almost nine minutes between the quarters before Elise Beuke made one of two free throws with 3:29 to go in the second. Stofferahn hit a 3-pointer with two minutes left to cut the Roughriders’ lead to two (13-11) but Sequim couldn’t stop Nizhoni Wheeler who finished with eight points at halftime (16 total) and a 16-11 lead at half time. Stofferahn nailed a jumper for the Wolves on their first possession of the second half at 7:32 but Sequim’s shots wouldn’t fall. They went another stretch of more than eight minutes without a point. Hailey Lester broke their scoreless streak with a layup at 7:08 to bring some life back to the Wolves. They cut the Roughriders’ lead to five (28-23) with 3-pointers from Stofferahn and Bentz, and two of three free throws from Stofferahn, who was fouled on a missed 3-pointer. She had another chance to cut it close but

missed a 3-pointer after Beuke came up with an offensive rebound on their next possession. Port Angeles’ Katyn Flores quieted Sequim’s momentum with a 3-pointer at 4:47 to play for a 31-23 lead. The Roughriders grew their lead after the Wolves went into the penalty as they connected on six of 10 free throws to end the game.

Olympic League standings (final)

As for his team’s consistency, Still said when the girls did play well it’s because they were receiving and making high percentage shots and they handled the Roughriders’ presses. Despite many layups and closer jumpers not falling, Still said he’d take those chances all day long, too. Stofferahn, who scored 16 points with four 3-pointers, said in warm-ups the girls felt good. “We were focused and wanting to win,” she said. “We (succeeded when we) started to look into the high post more and we’d pass in and then they’d pass back out for open shots.” Cummins, who scored five points, said they have moments of playing great, all-around basketball and it just didn’t come together against the Roughriders. “When we all play together, we completely dominate,” she said. “There’s something in our mental attitude that completely changes.”

To succeed in the playoffs, Still said it’s key the girls cut down on turnovers and opponents’ second-chance points. “Olympic (in Sequim’s 52-40 loss at home on Jan. 23) had half their points off turnovers,” he said. “Even North Mason (who they defeated 48-18 on Jan. 27) had eight points off secondchance opportunities.” He hopes the Wolves who played in 2014 can rely on their brief playoff experience, shake off the nerves early and just play their best basketball. “We know we can do it,” Cummins said. “If we’re playing for each other and executing, then we know we can. We just need to be smarter about not getting a lot of turnovers from silly, silly passes and not moving around.” Stofferahn, who injured her ACL the last game of the season and missed the playoffs, said watching the game from the sideline was terrible. But after a year of recovery? “I’m ready,” she said.

Sequim could capture the third, fourth or fifth seed in the Olympic League seed. Districts open Feb. 11. Last year, the Wolves returned to districts after a two-year absence to lose in the opening round 41-31 to the Franklin-Pierce Cardinals.

Earlier in the week, Sequim defeated the North Mason Bulldogs (2-8) 48-18 on Jan. 27 behind 11 points from Stofferahn. Adrienne Haggerty scored nine points and grabbed 11 rebounds while Kylee Williams had four points, five rebounds and four assists.

GREYWOLF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Tammy Owens’ second-grade class read “The Big Bushy Mustache” by Gary Soto. The story is about a boy named Ricky, who wants to be like his dad and have a big bushy mustache. Ricky wears a pretend mustache all day, but when he loses it on the way home, his mom helps him replace it with a special one. After the class finished reading the story, they enjoyed making their own mustaches of different styles. Pat Quinet’s third-graders wrote heart-felt Haiku poems they affixed on homemade valentines to send to soldiers on active duty as part of Operation Valentine. Brave and athletic.

deposits to his account. Each month you can show him how it has grown. Some parents with young children set up a four bank system labeled how he will use the money: save, spend, invest and give. Talk about how much will be in each jar so that he can set goals. Talk together about how much he should save and why. If he wants a bike, perhaps you have told him he has to contribute $100 toward the price. That is tough. But if he sets a goal of $5 each week, in five months he will have enough for his new bike. Talk about the importance of saving first, not last.

retirement. He may not be ready for that kind of use of his money but it is worth a discussion. Does he have a feeling that helping others is important? If he does or if this is a value in your family, remind him that he should put aside some money for that goal, too. He can help the local animal shelter or give to any worthy cause. Maybe he just wants to give money to help others who need it. Remind him about emergencies and his money. If he forgets his jacket at soccer practice and it is missing, who pays for it? What is his responsibility for anything broken or lost? If he has a history of being careless, you may need to have some money set aside for emergencies. One way to help him learn about saving money is to open a bank account for him. Most of the local banks encourage this kind of learning. Have him make regular even if small

THEO is a sweet young boy that is currently in the dog training program at Clallam Bay Corrections and will graduate soon. He is looking for his forever home. He is very playful, good with other dogs and cats, however will chase chickens. He loves people, however I would suggest no very young children due to his size and exuberance. Theo will need a fenced yard and another four legged friend would be welcome.
