Second case of measles found in Clallam is 5-year-old girl County’s first measles case in 2015 has recovered Sequim Gazette staff

A 5-year-old, unvaccinated girl who attends kindergarten at Port Angeles’ Olympic Christian School, 43 O’Brien Road, was reportedly diagnosed with measles, a highly contagious disease transmitted by airborne exposure.

The child is the second local measles case in the past three weeks, according to Clallam County Health Department officials. She was directly exposed to the county’s first case, a 50-year-old Port Angeles man the last week of January, they said.

Olympic Christian School principal Gary Rude said 12 students who are not immunized have been quarantined through Feb. 27 at their homes because of exposure to the girl.

He said the girl is excused from class until she is cleared by health officials to return.

“In a small population, it’s an impact,” Rude said. “The hope is no more kids come down with it.”

SARC board weighs options post-levy miss Commissioners look into Metropolitan Parks District, re-running levy proposal

by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

“What’s next?”

That’s the first question SARC Director Scott Deschenes hears from users who have come through the door in recent days.

The final ballots were counted in the Feb. 10 special election last Friday and results for The Clallam County Park and Recreation District 1 (SARC) levy proposal of 12 cents per $1,000 of a home’s assessed valuation went up slightly but not enough for the “super majority” of 60 percent.

The tally now before the election is certified on Feb. 24 sits at 7,258, 57.5 percent, in favor to 5,368, 42.5 percent, opposed.

With the levy failing, SARC’s commissioners discuss the facility’s options at 5 p.m. today, Wednesday, Feb. 18, inside SARC’s gymnasium, 610 N. Fifth Ave. Frank Pickering, SARC’s commission board president, said the options lean to either try to create

a Metropolitan Parks District or rerun the levy.

Commissioners decided to split up at their monthly meeting on Feb. 11, to discuss their options with different entities including the City of Sequim, Clallam County and Citizens for SARC, an advocacy group which campaigned for the levy.

“Overall, 57 percent was very positive for us,” Pickering said.

“Citizens for SARC did a lot of good work.”

At the meeting, Deschenes encouraged the board to pursue a decision quickly.

“Whatever we’re going to do, we have the momentum now,” he said.

“We don’t want to wait too long.”

After looking at the precinct results, Deschenes said a majority of Sequim showed it wants a community center with a pool.

“A majority of people want something and I didn’t think we had that 1 1/2 to 2 years ago,” he told the Gazette.

“There’s a lot of uneasiness right now. There are parents who bring in

More ballots don’t alter outcomes

The Feb. 13 update of Clallam County’s Feb. 10 special election saw more than 1,000 ballots cast for two Sequim measures, but they didn’t help either a Sequim School District school construction bond nor the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center levy reach the required 60 percent mark to pass.

The school construction bond now has 7,358 yes votes, or about 57.5 percent of the 12,796 ballots cast — up from 57.1 percent announced on election night (Feb. 10).

The Clallam County Park and Recreation District 1 (SARC) levy proposal now boasts 7,258 of 12,626 votes cast, just under 57.5 percent.

Both measures needed a “super majority” of 60 percent to gain approval.

Clallam County Elections Department officials have counted 23,577 ballots for the Feb. 10 special election that featured the two Sequim measures, two Port Angeles school measures and a Forks Hospital levy — about 52.4 percent of the 45,005 eligible voters in the county.

The election is certified on Feb. 24.

To form it, both the City of Sequim and Clallam County would need to sign an interlocal agreement to form the district, said SARC’s attorney Craig Miller.

If formed, SARC’s board would transfer assets to a new municipal corporation for operations likely governed by a board including community members and a tobe-determined number of community members, Clallam County commissioners and Sequim City councilors.

The advantage, commissioners say, is that running a levy now must require at least 60 percent of the vote and be run every six years whereas the metropolitan district would need 50 percent to pass.

One concern in other districts, Miller said, is that metropolitan leaders also could levy without a Metro parks plan vote up to 75 cents per assessed The most discussed solution on $1,000 valuation as allowed by law.

Feb. 11 was the Metropolitan Parks However, William Shore Pool in District.

Port Angeles, he said, was founded

their kids for lessons. Older people who rely on the water. We really fight the idea that some see us as a health club but we’re really a community service.”

Commissioners turned to voters for a levy for the 27-year-old facility because they said it is likely to close by the end of 2016 due to depleting reserves and increasing costs such as $350,000-$400,000 for an air handler in the pool area.

Pickering said SARC’s “drop dead date” is through Dec. 31, 2016, but he wrote on the center’s website there are no discussions on shutting down SARC or any of its elements prior to the date.

“That final date can change,” Pickering told the Gazette. “(No options) are off the table until the board simply decides it.”

Bird flu quarantine lifted Samples indicate no spread of virus Sequim Gazette staff

The 10-kilometer quarantine zone encompassing 92 Cosmos Lane in Agnew intended reduce the risk of avian influenza that was lifted Wednesday, Feb. 11. The Washington State Department of Agriculture placed

the quarantine one month ago in response to an avian flu outbreak, causing U.S. Department of Agriculture officials to euthanize 118 birds from a flock of mixed poultry.

Personnel with both the WSDA and USDA collaborated to ensure the virus,

H5N2, had not spread beyond the initial infected flock.

WSDA officials decided to lift the quarantine placed in Agnew after a team of veterinarians with the USDA and WSDA visited nearly 2,000 locations in the quarantine area and tested samples from birds at 44 premises.

All samples tested negative for avian influenza.

The decision to lift the quarantine results in all movement of poultry or poultry products within county

and the quarantine area to resume without any further restrictions.

However, restrictions remain in place in parts of Okanogan County where two quarantines were established after two different flocks were found to be infected with the H5N2 avian influenza virus.

Although the quarantine has been lifted, the risk of exposure to avian influenza still remains for poultry. Because migratory wild waterfowl

around a Metropolitan Parks District at 15 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation but its leaders have taken less than taxed.

Steven Burke, executive director of the William Shore Pool, told the Gazette that the pool’s levy rate is about 16 cents now, which equals around $480,000 generated per year from ratepayers in the Port Angeles School District.

“It started on the ballot (in 2009) at a rate of 15 cents, which at the time calculated to $520,000, but we ended up not needing that much when we got into that,” he said. “We took $450,000 for the first couple of years and then $470,000 and then $480,000.”

Burke said the 75 cents rate hasn’t been tried in the state and he doesn’t think the court system would allow it to go to a vote.

As for SARC’s options, Burke said he thinks the best long-term option is pursuing a Metropolitan Parks District.

“Then they don’t have to worry every six years if they are going to pass a levy or not,” he said.

In public comments, former SARC commissioner Paul McHugh shared that he doesn’t think there’s a good chance a Metropolitan Parks District would pass and the past history with trying to pass M&O levy isn’t going to change.

He suggested contracting the facility out and seeing if any entities would be interested without raising rates.

“The facility is too important to give up on,” he said.

Susan Sorensen, a former commissioner, also announced she does not plan to lead the Citizens for SARC effort again due to personal matters.

populations can carry the disease, including the highly-pathogenic strains of avian influenza, WSDA officials continue to urge bird owners to protect their domestic birds from contact with wild waterfowl and remain vigilant in their biosecurity measures.

Avian influenza does not affect poultry meat or egg products, which remain safe to eat, but both wild and domestic poultry should be properly cooked.

Deaths or illness among domestic birds should be reported to the WSDA Avian Health Program at 800-606-3056. For wild birds, contact the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife at 800-606-8768.

Kilmer seeks to extend comment periods U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer (6th Congressional District) last week called on the Defense Department to incorporate greater public input into military project planning.

In a letter to Assistant Secretary of Defense John Conger, Kilmer asked for implementation of a new policy that would allow for extensions on public comment periods.

Residents of the Olympic Peninsula have voiced concerns about the Navy’s public outreach on an electronic warfare range proposal.

Railroad Bridge Park bridge to open, but no through traffic Tribe officials seek repair costs estimate The bridge at Railroad Bridge Park remains closed after the combination of river flooding and age took its toll on the 100-year-old trestle during the first week of February. Photo

by Powell Jones, Dungeness River Audubon Center executive director

BY ALANA LINDEROTH The bridge at Railroad Bridge Park remains closed, but in stable condition nearly three weeks following the damage to the trestle because of old age and flood conditions.

Within the next two weeks officials with Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe hope to have a engineering and construction consultant out to the park to evaluate the damage and produce a cost estimate.

“We’re still exploring a variety of funding sources,” Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe’s Chief Operating Officer Annette Nesse, said. “But until we have a cost estimate it’s hard to know all of our options.”

Once officials have a working cost estimate, the tribe seeks to talk with both state and federal agencies

Three explosions heard last week near the Dungeness Wildlife Refuge were the result of U.S. Army technicians disposing of military flares that washed onto the Dungeness Spit, said Dave Falzetti, wildlife officer for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Falzetti said that though the flares found and “neutralized” on Feb. 12 are considered ordnance, they are not explosive.

“They are incendiar y devices (smoke flares) used in military exercises and contain phosphorous,” Falzetti said in an e-mail last week. “They wash onto area beaches on occasion and pose a hazard to beachcombers.”

Called Marine Location Markers, they are buoyant devices designed to be released from helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft to indicate position in the sea.

The device emits a high intensity yellow flame and white smoke for up to 20 minutes.

may have heard three small “explosions,” Falzetti, and that a low cloud layer made the noise louder than expected.

The flares, labelled C2A2, have been found on Pacific Northwest beaches.

The devices contain “Red Phosphorous,” according to packaging and even after being deployed they can still pose a serious hazard, Falzetti said.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service representatives followed the warning labels and did exactly what every-

one who encounters these items should do, Falzetti said, which is to contact the police or military to deal with these hazardous items.

“People should not be picking these up as marine debris,” he said. “Let the experts deal with them safely.”

all of structures are privately owned by the tribe, Nesse said, “It’s really thought as a public park,” and thus the tribe is eager to get the bridge open again.

However, until the bridge is reopened, ODT users can take two alternative routes, Jeff Bohman, president of the Peninsula Trails Coalition, said. Hikers and bikers can either use the southern route along U.S. Highway 101 or the northern alternative along Old Olympic Highway.

Both detours via the U.S. Highway 101 and the Old Olympic Highway bridges are open and a map of the routes are posted at www.olympicdiscoverytrail.com/planning_info/ trail_status.html.

By the end of the week, with the help of Peninsula Trails Coalition members, the bridge portion of the ODT will be open, but no through traffic is allowed, Powell Jones, executive director of the Dungeness River Audubon Center, said.

Since the closure of the bridge, which is an integral part of the Olympic Discovery Trail, the community also has shown a lot of interest in aiding with the repair effort, Nesse said.

Additionally, tribe officials have been in contact with Congressman Derek Kilmer, Sen. Patty Murray and state Rep. Steve Tharinger.

“We’ve been really pleased and grateful with the community response and interest expressed by elected representatives,” Nesse said.

The Oasis center of proposed music licensing bill Rep. Van De Wege wants to start consumer alert campaign

by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

The Oasis Bar & Grill, 301 E. Washington St., is the focal point of a legislative effort to help protect music venues from large licensing fees for live entertainment.

State Rep. Kevin Van De Wege introduced House Bill 1763 2015-16 to keep music licensing companies accountable by registering with the state before targeting music venues like the Oasis with fees for hosting cover bands.

“Live music venues are being unfairly targeted by New York and Tennessee-based licensing companies that

force payments at r a nd om , threaten business owners and seemingly vanish once they receive VAN DE WEGE payment,” Van De Wege said. “By regulating their activity and verifying their claim to certain performing rights, we’re protecting small businesses all across the state and generating revenue to make sure these venues know their rights.”

Dale Dunning, owner of the Oasis, stopped live music on Dec. 31 and has converted his venue to an all-ages

Sequim’s Don Hatler keeps position with conservation district

Sequim-area resident Don Hatler has been re-elected to the Clallam Conservation District board of supervisors.

The election was not a contentious one, as Hatler was the only candidate to file for the office.

Jan. 29 was the filing deadline.

According to state conservation district elections rules, if the incumbent is the only eligible candidate to file for the position no election is required.

Polling scheduled for Feb. 28 has been canceled, conservation district officials said this week.

The appointed position currently held by Sequimarea dair y farmer Ben Smith expires this year.

Deadline for applications to the appointed position is March 31.

The application form and instructions can be found on the Conservation District’s website at www. clallamcd.org or on the

Van De Wege’s proposed bill would require music licensing companies like BMI, American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) and the Society of European Stage Authors and Composers (SESAC) to file an annual business license with the Secretary of State. They would pay an annual fee of $1,500, which Van De Wege said the state would use to communicate with restaurants, bars and music venues via a consumer alert campaign about their rights and responsibilities regardReach Matthew Nash at ing public performances of mnash@sequimgazette. copyrighted music. com.

Dunning said he thinks the bill is a good start but feels the ultimate solution must come from the U.S. Congress regarding copyright law.

“This is a good way to deal with it on the state level,” he said, “It puts an onus on these organizations.”

House Bill 1763 2015-16 was discussed in a public hearing in the House Committee on Business & Financial Services on Tuesday morning and is scheduled for an executive session in the House Committee on Business & Financial Services on Wednesday afternoon.

After reports first came out about Dunning stopping music at the Oasis, he said he’s spoken with Congressman Derek Kilmer’s representatives and Van De Wege’s representatives.

He’s not sure if this proposed bill will catch on with the Legislature.

“The legislative process is funny,” he said. “You never know if it’s going to catch on. Hopefully people are continuing to write Derek and other representatives.

Visitor bureau board names 2015 directors The Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau, the tourism marketing agency for unincorporated Clallam County, announced its 2015 board of directors last week.

Board members reside or do business in the unincorporated areas of Clallam County, outside the city limits of Sequim, Port Angeles and Forks.

Returning board members are: representing 10 rooms or fewer,

Linda Keen, from Quillayute River Resort (past president); representing at-large position 11 rooms or more, Todd Gubler, now at Fort Worden (OPVB president and alternate representative to the Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission) residing in Clallam County; representing RV park/campground, Robert J. Flood, View Vista Park; and representing at-large lodging, Ali Baker, Chito Beach Resort (OPVB

secretary).

Returning board members representing three at-large positions are Margaret Owens, Joyce Depot Museum, (OPVB vice president); Mary Wong, Nash’s Farm Store, and Scott Nagel, Olympic Peninsula Celebrations.

Two members are new to the board. Ed Bedford of Northwest Sodaworks, a life-long resident of the area, who will handle an at-large po-

Officials with Taylor Shellfish Farms have worked with the tribe for years helping the tribe get back into the shellfish industry, Grinnell explained, and he admits the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe isn’t the only tribe Taylor officials have assisted.

Collaborative work among multiple county, nonprofit, tribal and state agencies, such as DOH, have focused on bettering the bay’s water quality and to identifying pollution sources contributing to its degraded state.

The area near the mouth of the Dungeness River and the proposed geoduck farm is home to a handful of multi-million dollar restoration projects including the county’s Pollution Identification and Correction plan, the setback of the 1960s-era U.S. Army Corps of Engineers levee and restoration of the former Three Crabs Restaurant site headed by the North Olympic Salmon Coalition.

to build and maintain public tennis courts in the City of Sequim and to promote and help support youth tennis programs at City of Sequim public tennis courts.” Our goal is to locate (the) (a) tennis facility at Carrie Blake Park.

The Sequim Community Tennis Fund is a small grassroots charitable organization which is managed by volunteers. We are not a nonprofit organization or corporation. We do not have paid staff members, an office facility or hired fundraisers. Because we are not a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, donations are not tax deductible. However, we do not have a paid staff, leases and rents, insurance and utilities to pay either. We do not have bylaws, a boards of directors or a group of officers. Keeping administrative costs to a bare minimum assures most of your donations go directly to the cause.

The SCTF needs your help. Donations can be made at First Federal Bank, a local bank with two locations in Sequim. Deposits are made to SCTF or Sequim Community Tennis Fund. Three local residents involved in tennis; Justine Wagner (the Sequim High School Tennis Coach), Don Thomas (a United States Tennis Association Teaching Professional) and Terry Parks (a competing amateur tennis player) are the only individuals that are authorized to make withdrawals from this account.

Through the SCTF, the City of Sequim, and grants from organizations like the United States Tennis Association, public tennis courts can be funded and built in Sequim for community use.

It is also our goal to offer periodic free tennis lessons and clinics for our children, teenagers, and young adults as well as support programs for adults and seniors. We aspire to ultimately have sanctioned United States Tennis Association tournaments in Sequim. We believe these tennis tournaments will attract visitors to the area and will bring spending into our local businesses. USTA sanctioned tennis tournaments will give everyone interested in playing a chance to compete, meet other players, have fun and promote both the Sequim area and the sport of tennis.

The SCTF email address is sctf40love@gmail.com and we hope to have an informational website in the future. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Thank you, The Sequim Community Tennis fund, a Charitable Organization serving the Sequim-Dungeness Valley.

visitors, not only from Puget Sound, but from all reaches of the globe.”

The Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau board meets monthly in Port Angeles and advises OPVB staff on policies, programs and promotions. The bureau also provides administrative support for the Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission, a 12-member group comprised of chambers of commerce and tourism marketing entities from North Hood Canal to Quinault via the north U.S. Highway 101 route.

portance placed especially on salmon restoration, the location of the possible farm near the mouth of the Dungeness River isn’t appropriate for a commercial endeavor, he explained. Holden also pointed out the area is residential and thus a commercial operation could disturb the area’s atmosphere.

“I’m pretty pro-industry in most cases, but this just seems like a delicate system,” Holden said.

Given the proposed geoduck farm is sited offshore, east of the mouth of the Dungeness River and neighbors the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge boundary, there is public concern about impacts from the largescare shellfish aquaculture to existing biota, such as eelgrass beds and birds, despite mitigation measures, like 16-foot buffers around eelgrass, “This location is probably somewhat unique being close to a national wildlife refuge like this, but we work in a lot of sensitive areas,” Dewey said.

Meaders, senior marine biologist with Confluence Environmental Company hired

by Taylor officials to conduct a geoduck aquaculture biological evaluation of the possible farm site, explained how geoduck aquaculture can result in “short-term impacts with short-term recovery periods, but studies don’t indicate long-term adverse impacts.”

“Overwhelming, studies have reported no significant impacts and even some positive impacts to birds and other marine species from the gear because it can create an additional food source and habitat,” Meaders said. “There is potential for entanglement but it’s rare.”

Regardless of the biological evaluation completed by staff with Confluence Environmental Company, Bob Lynette, a Sequim resident and Olympic Climate Action

member, questioned the possibility of having a Environmental Impact Statement done – something Dewey said may be an option.

Because geoduck can take up to seven years to reach harvestable size, the equipment used is in place for multiple years, but only visible periodically because of tides and offshore site.

The first two to three years after planting plastic PVC tubes with net caps held on by rubber bands or flexible mesh tubes are placed about every square foot and blanket netting protects the juvenile geoduck from predation. Given the extensive and multi-year use of such equipment and storm exposure of Dungeness Bay, residents questioned an increase potential for pollution, but Dewey assured that “good farm maintenance” helps to control possible pollution.

No permit yet According to Clallam County Planning manager Kevin LoPiccolo, the county has yet to receive an official permit application from Taylor Shellfish Farms, but Clallam County Department of Community Development Director Mary Ellen Winborn confirmed the farm will require a conditional use permit.

Taylor officials hope to submit a formal application to the county within the next month or two, but even after the application is submitted the permitting process can take months to years, Dewey explained.

“There is huge opportunity here for areas that want to embrace it (shellfish aquaculture),” Dewey said. “Our biggest obstacles to keeping this industry going are getting the permits and keeping the water clean enough.”

OMC clients continue rehab in Sequim Anytime Fitness providing a fit for OMC’s ‘Healthy U’ program

Films slated at Nash’s Farm Store The Winter Film Series continues at Nash’s Farm Store, 4681 Sequim-Dungeness Way in Dungeness, at 6:30 p.m.

Saturday, Feb. 21, with the documentary “Bringing It Home.” The movie tells the story of hemp, past, present and future. At 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 25, with “Food Chains,” a film that depicts the fight for social justice by farm workers in the U.S. In this exposé, a group of Florida farm workers battle to defeat the $4 trillion global supermarket industry through their ingenious Fair Food program, which partners with growers and retailers to improve working conditions for farm laborers in the United States.

The screenings are free and open to the public.

A tight-knit group from Olympic Medical Center’s “Healthy U” program found their fit at Anytime Fitness after the group had to find a different facility to work out following the discontinuation of the program at the hospital.

Thus, to continue their exercise program, the group of about 10 participants have become regulars three times a week at Anytime Fitness since early February.

“They’ve been really helpful here,” Arlene McClelland, a longtime participant of the group, said. “OMC told us our different options and we decided to come here and so far it’s been great.”

After members of the group approached owners of Anytime Fitness Heidi and Jay Bryan about coming to their facility, Jay Bryan said they “immediately” created a group format to accommodate the members’ desire to stay together.

“We wanted to keep the camaraderie of the group.” he said.

Given OMC’s recent partnership with the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center (SARC) and the YMCA, the group first got referred to

Anytime Fitness Hours: Open 24/7, and staffed 9 a.m.-6:30 p.m., Monday–Friday and 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Saturday.

Where: 10131 Old Olympic Highway Website: anytimefitness.com/gyms/1959/sequim-wa-98382 Phone: 683-4110 SARC. However, after exploring the various options, the group made a collective decision to attend Anytime Fitness.

“We are well-suited to helping folks who are in the post-rehab stage of recovering from an injury or cardiac event,” Bryan said.

Already having an established focus on post-rehab programs for cardiac, pulmonary and orthopedic issues, as well as hyperten-

sion and diabetes prevention and management exercise programs, staff with Anytime Fitness had the experience and education to cater to the once Healthy U participants.

“During our staffed hours there are always certified fitness professionals available to answer questions and provide help to our members. Being available, knowledgeable and helpful is probably what we do best,”

Bryan said.

Although the partnership geared at building a community-based cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation transition program, referred to a s “Cardio Camp,” is among OMC, SARC and the YMCA, individuals discharged from OMC are not limited to just those facilities, Bryan explained.

“If demand increases, we will likely add more groups at different times for postcardiac. The whole idea is to promote longevity and movement is everything,” said fitness director Kenny Hall of Anytime Fitness..

Sequim man sentenced in OPNET heroin case Derek A. Batton, 31, of Sequim, was sentenced Jan. 27 to serve 20 months total confinement in state prison, to be followed by 12 months in community custody. His sentence is a result of a guilty plea to delivering heroin to Olympic Peninsula Narcotics

Enforcement Team members on Jan. 15, 2013, and again on Jan. 17, 2013.

Batton’s previous felony convictions include third-degree assault, attempt to elude pursuing police vehicle, possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver

Representatives from Clallam County Fire District 3 celebrate a pair of Walmart employees last week for helping save the life of a customer that collapsed in the Sequim store on Jan. 11. The employees — James Crawford and Adam Lauridsen — performed “timely lifesaving measures” and that the individual they helped as the patient, Tina Lewis, has made a “remarkable recovery due to the extraordinary care she received prior to the fire department’s arrival,” District 3 representatives said.

Measles

From page A-1 Dr. Tom Locke, Clallam County Health Officer, said students came into contact with the girl on Feb. 6, and that other exposures to the patient’s measles were minimal except for during school hours and a family gathering.

The girl and man are unrelated, Locke said, but said he can’t disclose their affiliation.

Locke said about 7 percent of children in Clallam County are not immunized for the measles.

Washington State Department of Health reports as of last year, 82.6 percent of Sequim’s public school kindergarteners enter school with required immunizations including the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination as of last school year.

Locke reports Clallam’s first measles case this year who was placed in isolation at Olympic Medical Center has fully recovered and those who were exposed to him or at his location from Jan. 27-30 during a two hour window have until Feb. 22 before they are fully cleared from measles exposure.

On Jan. 27, he visited Port Angeles Wendy’s in a 3:30-5:45 p.m. timeline, Mt. Pleasant IGS & Texaco Gas Station in Port Angeles (4:45-6:55 p.m.); on Jan. 29, the Jamestown Longhouse Gas Station and

Convenience Store in Blyn (9:01 a.m.-11:15 a.m.), SeaTac rest area I-5 northbound (11 a.m.-1:10 p.m.), Owen Equipment Company in Kent (11:25 a.m.-1:35 p.m.) and Bent Bike motorcycle Salvage in Auburn (11:45 a.m.-1:50 p.m.) and the Mt. Pleasant IGS (3:19-5:30 p.m.); Jan. 30, Mt. Pleasant IGS (11:13 a.m.-1:23 p.m.).

Clinics and symptoms Free measles immunization clinics will continue Thursday and Friday at the Clallam County Health and Human Services, Public Health Section, at 111 E. Third St. in Port Angeles. Call 417-2274 to make an appointment.

Walk-ins will be served but there may be a wait.

Children, adolescents or adults who develop a fever of 101 or greater followed by a generalized rash two to four days later may need to be evaluated for measles infection.

Health officials warn that under no circumstances should those with measles symptoms go directly to a health care provider’s office or to the emergency room because it will expose others to the infection. Instead, they advise calling ahead to notify their provider that they have a rash illness and receive instructions on how to be tested.

All children, adolescents, college-age students and health care workers should have at least two MMR vaccines, Locke

A Sequim woman was injured and transported to Olympic Medical Center on Feb. 12 after her vehicle collided with a load of siding that fell from a truck on U.S. Highway 101 near Morse Creek, about three miles east of Port Angeles.

According to a Washington State Patrol report, Wendy B. Schultz, 53, of Sequim, was traveling eastbound on the highway when the securing strap for a load of siding on the flatbed of a 1991 Chevrolet truck driven by Julian V. Lamarche, 35, of Port Angeles, broke, sending the siding onto the roadway. Schultz’s vehicle, a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta, struck the debris.

Lamarche was charged with having an unsecured load, according the the state patrol report.

said, and adults who are not health care workers should have at least one MMR vaccine.

Community members born before 1957 are presumed to be immune to measles. A blood test also is available to determine if a person is immune to measles.

Health officials said with a second case of measles and the possibility of more in the near future, all residents should assess whether they are immune to measles. If they are in need of vaccination, they should make plans to receive it at their earliest opportunity.

Locke said more vaccinations have been sent to local doctors and pharmacies.

Jail immunizations The Clallam County Sheriff’s Office reports that they determined about 63 percent of Clallam County Jail’s population was at potential risk of the measles, so on Feb. 7, jail staff held a vaccination clinic for 63 inmates and three staff members to receive voluntary immunizations.

Jail Medical staff physicians Peter Erickson and Art Tordini and nurses Julia Keegan, Candace Priest and Dean Boggs led the immunizations with administrative assistance and security from Corrections Sgt. Luke Brown and Corrections Deputy Howard Blair.

Follow-up screening will be conducted as new prisoners arrive and measles vaccinations will be offered as needed.

Tribe, Sequim City Council seek answers about Navy aircraft’s impact City’s Parks Master Plan presented Monday Sequim Gazette staff

The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Council hears a presentation from the U.S. Navy about the impact of its EA-18G Growler aircraft flying over the area in a closed meeting at 4 p.m.

Friday, Feb. 20, in the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Center, 1033 Old Blyn Highway, Sequim.

Sequim city councilors will be in attendance for a public, joint meeting from 5:30-6:30 p.m. discussing the wastewater connection between Blyn and the City of Sequim.

Both entities seek input from the Navy with city councilors voting unanimously on Feb. 9 to seek an informational meeting regarding the aircraft’s electromagnetic warfare training program after this meeting.

However, the Tribal Council’s meeting with the Navy is not subject to the Open Public Meetings Act and city councilors are allowed to attend

Citizens

From page A-1 very humbled by it (being a finalist),” Reandeau Stipe, said. “I’ve come from a family that has always done a lot of volunteering and community service so I really don’t know any different.”

With family roots dating back to the late 1800s in the valley, Reandeau Stipe was nominated by Bob Stipe, acknowledging his wife’s years and dedication to the community.

Growing up in Sequim, Reandeau Stipe first got involved with the Museum & Arts Center long before it was an official museum around 1960 – back when it was just a few file boxes in the city hall, she said.

Reandeau Stipe is now director of the Museum & Arts Center and admits with the ongoing community support it’s a “pleasure and easy” to work long hours for a cause such as keeping the museum alive.

T he fa mily root s of Blakeslee also run deep, and like Reandeau Stipe, his family’s presence in the

on the condition to not comment or ask about the Tribal Council’s concerns about the aircraft.

City Attorney Craig Ritchie said any information received won’t be considered for any city purposes.

Several residents spoke against the aircraft to RITCHIE Sequim city councilors on Feb. 9 and asked for a public meeting saying the aircraft shake their homes and effect the environment and future tourism.

Councilors agreed but will only hold the meeting if the U.S. Navy presents.

No date has been set on the city’s public meeting.

Parks Master Plan The Sequim City Council also will hear public testimony in a hearing about its proposed Parks Master Plan at 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 23, in the Clallam Transit Center, 190 Cedar St. Parks manager Joe Irvin said the plan is meant to look out at the future of parks over 20 years.

area dates back to the late 1800s.

“One of the things I really like about Sequim is the whole community is really giving,” Blakeslee said. “I’m a Type A personality so I am always looking for ways to get more things done.”

Nominated by George Dooley of the Sequim Valley Lions Club, Blakeslee is heavily involved with the club and most recently the co-director for the annual logging show. Additionally, Blakeslee travels with the Sequim Irrigation Festival float and drives it in a handful of the 15 cities the float is paraded.

“Volunteering to me is fun,” Blakeslee said. “And because all the money the Lions Club raises goes back to the community, I am always looking for other projects the club can get involved in.”

In recognition of being a devoted volunteer with the Sequim Food Bank for about 30 years, nearly 94-year-old Vining was nominated by executive director of the Sequim Food Bank, Mark Ozias.

“I was raised in Sequim,”

Theodore (Ted) James Walgamott February 19, 1946 - February 4, 2015

Theadore Walgamott was born in Culver City, California and raised in Woodinville.

He is a graduate of Bothell High School and attended the University of Washington until being drafted into the army and served in Vietnam.

Upon returning to the Seattle area he started a family, raising his daughter Wendy and son Erik, and was blessed with two grandchildren, Anthony and Elizabeth.

After losing his first wife to cancer he met the love of his life and soul mate Gail Van Den Akker.

They spent the next 23 years building their life together, traveling and constructing their dream home (A Thing of Beauty) in Sequim and making friends everywhere they went.

Ted started his working career as one of the original artisans at the Pike Place Market specializing in leather goods.

He then went on to become a master of any trade that he delved into.

His creativity and the love of woodworking allowed him to turn simple pieces of wood into what would become his signature, radius masterpieces.

His analytical mind allowed him to tackle any problem that came his way. He never dwelled on the problem, only the solution.

He was kind hearted, patient, and always willing to share his vast knowledge with anyone who was willing to listen.

He was a gentle “magic man” who loved music, dancing, warm beaches, astronomy, reading and a relentless quest for learning.

Being with his friends and family was always special to him.

He is survived by his wife, two brothers;, Tom and Terry and their families, a daughter, son, two grandchildren, and hundres of friends.

He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

The Universe hit the jackpot the day he left this Earth.

The family wishes to thank Volunteer Hospice, Home Health, and Joan from Caregivers of Sequim.

He wished to have his body dontated to medical research.

He said the plan does not appropriate any funds but shows the city’s parks’ needs, how to obtain those needs, prioritizing those needs and addresses funding sources.

Tennis players told the Gazette they plan to attend to advocate to city councilors they want new courts at Carrie Blake Park. Currently, Sequim’s only public courts are at Sequim High School with three open and two closed for safety concerns due to cracks in the courts. Plans have been in past proposals for years with the city but funds went to other projects.

Irvin said tennis courts are in the plan as part of the six-year capital improvement plan to build in 2017-2018.

Currently, funding for City parks come from the general fund, Irvin said, and compete with other general fund needs.

A Metropolitan Parks District is mentioned in the plan “as a reliable source of funding,” Irvin said, and is a recommended option the city council should investigate. For more information, visit www.sequimwa.gov or call 683-4139.

Vining said. “I moved away, but came back to retire and I’ve lived here about 45 years.”

For Vining, volunteering at the food bank over the years has simply given him something do, but he admits, “it’s quite an honor” to be nominated.

Unlike the other finalists, Murray only lives in Sequim during the spring, summer and fall, but while she’s in the area she makes the most of her time volunteering.

Nominated by Larry Jeffryes for her ongoing work with the Sequim Lavender Farmers Association, Murray said she was “flattered and honored.”

Although Murray winters elsewhere, Sequim has been her home since 2010 after she moved to the area with the intent to volunteer, she said.

“I volunteer to stay involved,” Murray said. “We (Murray and her husband)

live a minimalistic lifestyle to have the flexibility to do that.”

Driven by one of her life mottos that “blessed to be a blessing,” throughout the years Murray has been involved with the library, the Boys & Girls Club of the Olympic Peninsula, Museum & Arts Center and Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce.

As winter draws to a close, Murray looks forward to returning to Sequim and delving into the variety of volunteer opportunities with hopes of increasing her volunteer time at the Sequim Visitor Information Center.

Mary Ann Merrill

Mary Ann Merrill, 67, died of cancer on January 12, 2015.

Mary enjoyed traveling to foreign countries. One of her favorite years was spent in Salzburg, Austria, while she was a student at University of Portland.

After graduation, Mary was a French and German teacher, then decided to go back to school to become a dental hygienist.

She worked in Olympia, Tacoma, and Gig Harbor.

Mary was a gentle spirit who loved holidays, shopping, collecting things, going out to eat, and seeing movies. She was sharp with trivia.

Mary was involved in many activities at St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church.

After her cancer diagnosis, Mary moved to Sequim, Washington to be close to family who could help her.

She made lots of dear friends through her cancer support group, and had a wonderful last year.

Special thanks go to Tracy and Violet.

Charles Allison Rice

February 5, 1929 - January 30, 2015 Charles Allison Rice was born to Thomas & Rena Bowers Rice on February 5, 1929 in Kansas City, Missouri.

Chuck attended a school in Kansas City that had elementary grades on the first floor, junior high occupied the second floor and he graduated from Center High, which was on the third floor!

Over his school years he delivered newspapers, telegrams, and blocks of ice as well as being a soda jerk and numerous other odd jobs.

He worked his way through Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy in Rolla, Missouri and graduated with a Chemical Engineering degree that led to employment at Hanford Atomic Energy Project in Richland, Washington.

He was deferred by the United States Air Force during the Korean Conflict because of his critical civilian occupation.

In 1955 Chuck married Judith Elliott in Richland.

They immediately left so that Chuck could enroll in Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary, Mill Valley, California where he received his Bachelor of Divinity and Master of Religious Education degrees.

During his ministry he served churches in Yakima, Kennewick, Spokane, Lakewood, and Bothell Washington, as well as Victoria B.C. He is survived by his three children: son Keith and wife Sonia from Millington, Tennessee; daughter Cindy and husband David Anselmi from Bothell, Washington; and son Allen and wife Tina from Spokane Washington; Grandchildren James, Marychu, Junamae, Brittany and Erin; and greatgrandchildren Ashlyn, Grant, Kylie, Payton, Anne, Mallory, William and Ethan.

Chuck enjoyed the outdoors, especially tent camping with his family, fishing, crabbing, hunting and golf.

He was a church staff member that pastors admired and often consulted.

He loved God and served faithfully for more than 60 years, sharing his faith with many people.

He comforted and counseled many over the years and will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Memorial services were held at 4:00 P.M. Wednesday, February 4, 2015 at First Baptist Church of Sequim, 1323 Sequim-Dungeness Way, Sequim, WA 98382.

Born in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York, Bill knew at an early age that he wanted to see the world.

When he was seventeen, he joined the Navy. He served in the Navy as an aviation mechanic during WWII. He was stationed in Newfoundland and came back from the war to become an airplane mechanic.

This was to begin his lifelong love of airplanes and travel.

Bill joined Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) in the mid-50’s as a flight dispatcher.

He began his career in Idelwild Airport (now JFK) in New York.

In 1959, he traveled to Stockholm, Sweden where he met his wife, Inga-Lisa and her two daughters, Berit and Tina.

They were married and soon moved with him to Brooklyn where they lived until 1969 when Bill transferred to Anchorage, Alaska along with his family.

Bill and Inga-Lisa loved Alaska where they traveled extensively throughout the state.

He lived in Anchorage until he retired in 1982 and moved to Sequim with his wife, IngaLisa.

They lived in a home they built and loved on Taylor Cut-Off Road until 2011.

Bill and Inga-Lisa followed their passion to travel the world. They traveled extensively throughout Scandinavia, Asia and Europe and always returned with tales of adventure.

They loved hosting parties in their home which were attended by friends and family from every corner of the world.

Bill was always an easy-going man, known to his friends and family to be an honorable and gentle soul.

He dabbled in hobbies such as banjo playing, bird watching, fly fishing, chess, computers and astronomy, never quite finding the right fit.

He loved the music of his era and was always strumming the tune on his knee.

He will be greatly missed by those he leaves behind.

Bill leaves a cousin in New Jersey, Nancy Young and her extended family of children, grand-children, nieces and nephews. Also her two daughters, Berit Guerin of Sequim and her son Tory Bridgman of Portland, Maine.

Tina Weaver and her husband Richard of Philadelphia, their two children Katelynn Weaver of Mesa, Arizona and Geren Weaver of Philadelphia. Inga-Lisa, the love of his life, passed in November 2011.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his memory to the Peninsula Friends of Animals to honor Bill’s love for animals. www.safehavenpfoa.org or (360) 452-0414.

SEQUIM GAZETTE

Odds, ends from the editor’s desk It’s been a full week since our Feb. 10 special election and I think for folks who were supporting either the Sequim School District’s construction bond or the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center’s levy (or both), the defeats are starting to set in.

Both proposals earned the majority of ballots turned in with — oddly enough — nearly identical rates of 57.5 percent of about 12,600 votes. Those numbers are impressive considering last year’s much larger school bond garnered less than 45 percent “yes” votes and the last time SARC ran an levy proposal election back in 2002, it was soundly defeated (just 46 percent yes votes in Editor’s September that year, just Corner 44 percent yes votes two months later).

Michael Dashiell From 2003 on, SARC officials tried to make a go of it and did an admirable job keeping the facility open — no easy task, considering how money pits like pools simply aren’t operated without some sort of subsidy.

Expect both school bond and SARC levy supporters to come up with another plan (or plans) starting this week.

The SARC board of commissioners is kicking around ideas at 5 p.m. today (Feb. 18) at the facility’s gymnasium, while the school board meets an hour later, its first gathering since election night. Both entities have fairly strong advocates on their side and, as Sequim school officials said after 2014’s bond effort came up short, the needs haven’t disappeared.

Turnout, tuned out

This seems to give new meaning to the term, “No taxation without representation.”

Clallam Country residents filled out 23,575 votes for the Feb. 10 special election out of 45,005 eligible.

That’s just under 52.4 percent. Seriously.

That leads me to wonder what exactly happened to the 21,430 residents who didn’t “get out the vote.” Well, in this state, that means they didn’t “get out the pen” or “get out a stamp.”

So what happened? Did you fall asleep … for three weeks? Forget to check your mail … for three weeks?

Got lost on the way to the ballot drop off? Ran out of ink?

Forgot how to sign your name?

Consider for a moment how precious the right to vote — and vote freely, without the likelihood of repercussions — you have right now. On Feb. 3, clashes between rival supporters in the northern state of Kaduna, Nigeria,

See CORNER, A-11

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR My ‘No’ vote, explained With reference to “School bond, SARC levy failing” (Sequim Gazette, Feb. 11, page A-1): My thanks to Mr. John Bridge for the statement, “We really have to look at what’s causing people to vote no.”

My rejection is based upon the continuing existence of the “Teacher’s Union” and the attendant top heavy administrative hierarchy required to deal with it.

My second reason (and this should be my first reason but the reasons are closely related) is the utter failure of our present education establishment to teach students to read, write and calculate — the three building blocks required to transform the young into reasoning, discriminating, productive adults capable of informing themselves and absorbing higher forms of learning.

A case in point: I met a group of Sequim sixth-graders on a field trip along the Dungeness River to study salmon habitat when they should have been in class learning how to spell correctly. I asked one student if she knew her multiplication tables, she replied that she had learned them in the fourth grade. I asked, “What’s the product of six times four?” Her reply, “I need my calculator for that.”

Since it isn’t likely that I’m going to experience any changes to what I consider an abomination I will continue to reject school bond issues.

Lastly: I can lay the demise of modern public education directly on the day that teachers were permitted to unionize.

Inslee estimates responded by rationing

gasoline and imposing a 55 mph speed limit.

As Congress got involved, the auto industry began shifting to cars that got better mileage.

Now, President Barack Obama wants cars to average 54.4 miles per gallon by 2025. More fuel-efficient cars and the growing popularity of hybrids and electric cars means less gas is sold, which generates less gas tax revenue for transportation projects.

The formula for funding highway and bridge construction must change; state and federal fuel taxes are no longer sufficient.

Carbon fuels can no longer bear the brunt of funding our transportation system.

Congestion-based funding, tolls, licensing and fees on all vehicles, including electric and alternative fuel cars, will have to pick up a greater share of the costs.

Recently, the Wall Street Journal editorialized that the time has come to abolish the federal gas tax, saying the costs of transportation can reasonably be borne by the people who enjoy the benefits – a user fee of sorts.

While it seems highly unlikely that Congress will repeal the gas tax, elected officials need to look at the core issues with transportation and shift away from reflexively raising fuel taxes.

That just won’t work anymore.

Further cuts to WDFW’s budget would be another step backward in our efforts to save the salmon.

He should not try to balance the state budget on the backs of the fish and wildlife resources and the people who depend on them.

But when infiltration was shown to exist both in news and entertainment industries the denials against the findings became vicious. An apathetic public – other than those wishing to avoid military service – was encouraged toward anti-war, “feel good,” anti-religion, anti-capitalism secularism.

It was this which first elected Obama — his lies about Romney and the future with the GOP, the second election.

But the base cause is communism, its infiltrations begun after the Russian Revolution … its atheism, its moves to place the State as the supreme authority replacing belief in God, and responsibility of the individual with absolute dependence upon the government. A cruel state not permitting any disagreement with its actions or policies. The pattern under which we now live (is) contrary to the foundations which made this such a great country open to individual talents and goals, with adherence to its constitutionally-based laws and ethics — not totalitarian;,not Draconian and not ignoring our constitution which provides a means for change, not by a judge or justices, or executive order.

In addition to lack of funding, elected leaders fail to see the need to apply epidemiological or said another way the scientific study of conditions that affect public health such as drug addiction and early child abuse. A significant study called ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) demonstrated that later life health problems are predictable for victims of early abuse. We seem to lack the will or public policy to ensure support to the family unit and more critically protect children in abusive or neglectful situations.

The irresponsible parent is the one who finds it more convenient to refuse for the allowable “personal reasons” than to do the research or have their children vaccinated. In other words, they are as thoughtless and careless about the public good as they are about their children.

In context of all the other issues that parents have or cause, failure to vaccinate may be the least of our problems. But vaccinations do seem to be the area we can use to debate the responsibility of parents, the individual and the government to the public good.

I thought we had put the concept of owning children to bed along with owning wives a while back.

I would much rather think about parents having responsibility for their children rather than thinking about what it would mean to “own” your children like you own your car.

If you are a child, you just have to hope that you are in a family who treats you like an expensive sports car with vast potential to go places and not a piece of junk to be entered into demolition derbies.

Those that don’t have their children vaccinated because they don’t want the government telling them what to do are either irrationally fearful of government or have decided that they have no responsibility for the public good which includes

On Feb. 10, Soroptimist International of Sequim honored Lisette Garcia (in photo, at right) and Serena Morales from Sequim High School as Girl of the Month for January and February, respectively.

Submitted photo Garcia has been in student government during all four years at Sequim High School.

consider India the ultimate destination. It is full of color, chaos and contradictions. It is only when you immerse yourself in the culture that you can truly begin to enjoy the experience of India.

As our tuk-tuk putt-putted down the streets of Delhi, my husband Ed and I were assailed by smells of spices and the sights of century-old markets and bazaars that sell everything from flowers to breakfast. It was a colorful, crazy and wonderful experience!

India can be overwhelming. In Agra, we saw crowds of individuals (tourists, locals, tribal people) all clustered around one of the world’s most famous monuments — the Taj Mahal.

“It’s possibly the best strings class I’ve taught in a long time,” he said.

Morgan-Ellis’ nine students, who started with the orchestra’s introductory strings classes last year, are playing much more difficult literature than customary, he said.

They are beginning to learn individual pieces written for their violin or cello, Morgan-Ellis said, whereas the first-year beginner’s class of 15 students is learning their instruments with the same sheet music.

Through donations and grants, students in fourth grade and up (but all ages are welcome) can participate for free but must provide their own instrument. They meet 3:15 p.m. at Greywolf Elementary after school.

Four years in, Morgan-Ellis said its been a great experience working with an appreciative group of orchestra members.

There was a night in a haveli, a traditional Rajasthani mansion. Then there was a tiger sighting in Rathambore. This is India!

In Jaisalmer we dined on spicy Rajasthani cuisine in the Thar Desert followed by a dune/camel ride to our tent for the night, passing local villages along the way.

My best memories of India are not those of the Taj Mahal or the Red Fort.

They are of visiting our Indian driver’s friend and having the wife dress me up in her wedding attire—jewelry and all. We loved m e et i n g t h e people in the villages and on the roads, getting a glimpse of their Shopping in Jaisalmer, India.

Wolves to vie for state medals WRESTLING

Sequim’s regionals-qualifying boys wrestlers gear up for a shot at state berth last week.

Kevyn Ward, fourth from left, represents Sequim wrestling for the boys at the 2A Mat Classic this weekend.

He stands with, from left, Michael Latimer, injured, Craig Baker, 1-3 in his matches, Jamie Schroepfer, 0-2, and Sven Wiker, alternate.

by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

The Tacoma Dome will be twice as full of Wolves this weekend at the Class 2A State Mat Classic.

Four Sequim wrestlers – Kevyn Ward, 152 pounds, and Kaylee Ditlefsen (140), Alma Mendoza (120) and Kiara Pierson (115) qualified at regionals on Feb. 14 for the state competition on Feb. 20-21.

This year, 11 Wolves shot for state at regionals with the boys placing 11th in Sedro-Woolley and the girls seventh in Yelm.

Ward, a junior and first time state competitor, swept his three matches with three pins over Lynden’s Cole Marlowe in 3:44, Anacortes’ Andrew Toth in 4:47 and Bellevue’s Alden Roberts

in 2:18 in the finals.

The difference this year, Ward said, was that his teammates pushed him a lot harder and he came into the season with a different attitude.

“I have two years left in high school and I wanted to make the most of them,” he said.

“I’ve been making more throws this year (too).

Being able to shoot and throw will help me a lot.

Sequim head coach Charles Drabek said he was pleased with all of the athlete’s efforts, especially Ward’s intensity and drive.

“Kevyn looked real good,” Drabek said.

Ward opens his state run against Andy Vargas of Quincy who took fourth in the 2A region IV. Ditlefsen, a senior, returns to state for the third year after competing all four years in regionals.

“It feels bittersweet,” Ditlefsen said about going into her final school tournament.

“This is the big moment when I’m supposed to do my best.”

Prosser, Craig earn tickets to state final Sequim Gazette staff

With strong finishes at the West Central District meet, a young crew of Wolves swimmers showed some promise for the future.

But Sequim’s season isn’t over yet.

SHS senior swimmer Eric Prosser and freshman diver Matthew Craig are headed to the state 2A finals set for Feb. 20-21 in Federal Way after earning state berths by allocation at the district meet last week.

Prosser shed nearly two seconds off his best 200 individual medley to move up from eighth place seeded time to sixth in the finals, earning a state meet allocation.

Seeded sixth in the 100 backstroke, Prosser main-

tained his place to earn a second state berth.

Prosser earned his third appearance at the state meet.

Jay’s answer: A good fitness program should include a balance of cardiovascular, strength and flexibility training. But if walking is what you are enjoying right now, then keep at it!

Understand that, at some point, you’ll want to add the other components if you are serious about getting the most out of your exercise program.

If you are a beginner, walking briskly just 30 minutes a day is a great start toward better health. It will burn some calories, help you manage stress and reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.

I think it’s great that you are walking five days a week — your body craves the chemistry of exercise on a daily basis. Since you have been walking for some time now, your body likely has reached a plateau and could use some resistance training to increase your metabolism, increase strength and shape your body.

If you are trying to lose weight or you are over age 50, then resistance training is especially important. Just 20 minutes of resistance training performed three times per week will take you to the next level of fitness!

Question: Is it safe to work out after giving blood?

Heidi’s answer: The American Red Cross suggests that blood donors do not exert themselves too much for the rest of the day after giving blood. A typical blood donation is a pint.

The absence of red blood cells, iron, plasma and water is enough to decreases oxygen delivery to your muscles by about 10 percent – causing dehydration, dizziness and fatigue. The American Red Cross suggests drinking plenty of fluids before your donation and an additional 32 fluid ounces after your donation to make up for lost blood plasma and fluid volume.

If you do choose to exercise, participate in low to moderate aerobic activity, avoid lifting weights and cease exercise if you begin to feel dizzy or lightheaded.

Pirates set sights on collegiate soccer futures 10 P.C. players sign letters of intent Sequim Gazette staff

Ten Peninsula College soccer players signed letters of intent on Feb. 4, National Signing Day. Port Angeles High School graduate Paxton Rodocker will play her junior and senior seasons at Division I Mississippi Valley State.

Others signing Wednesday from the women’s team included Kayla Bell, who is going to Division I ArkansasLittle Rock; Alyssa Bertuleit, who is going to Division I San Jose State; Emily Flinn who is going to Division I Georgia State; Kasie Lough and Solana Ashe, who are both going to Division II Vancouver Island University; and Larkyn Nelson, who is going to Division II Hawaii Pacific University.

Signing Wednesday from the men’s team were Victor Sanchez, who will play at the University of Great Falls, an NAIA college; Caio Maciel, who is going to Division II Queens University of Charlotte; and Keevan Webb, who signed with Division II Simon Fraser University.

A number of other sophomores will play on following their graduation from Peninsula in June, but those student athletes have yet to decide on colleges.

“I am happy to see that they took care of things on the field and in the classroom and still have a love for the game,” Kanyon Anderson, head coach of men’s and women’s soccer squad in 2014, said of this class of sophomores.

“This group will continue to represent the program well

after they move on to universities and beyond.”

National Signing Day represents the time when colleges across the nation celebrate the success of their players who sign letters of intent to continue their play at the next level.

“As the program has progressed over the past five years, I find myself talking less about winning games and more about where our players have gone upon graduation from Peninsula,” Anderson said. “The goal is to help the athletes earn

their degree, improve as students and athletes and earn a chance to play at the next level.”

Sequim duo to join P.A. athletes at state meet Sequim Gazette staff

A year ago Ennisa Albin was in middle school and Julie Pineau was in her home country of France.

This coming weekend, the Sequim High School students will be on Washington’s biggest prep gymnastics stage together, along with their teammates from Port Angeles.

The Roughriders and the Sequim duo earned state 2A/3A meet berths after strong finishes at the West Central District meet at Mount Rainier High School on Feb. 14.

Port Angeles grabbed the fourth and final team state berth with 148.2 cumulative points, behind district cha mpion Enumclaw (159.45 points), Columbia River (155.575) and Auburn Riverside

At districts the top four teams advance to state along with the top six all-around athletes not on state qualifying teams. In addition, the top 17 athletes in each individual event (bars, beam, floor and vault) are selected.

Sequim’s Pineau will be competing at state on vault, bars and floor, while Albin is moving on to state in beam.

Port Angeles’ Maya Wharton was the lone local athlete to earn a top-10 event finish, earning 10th in the floor exercise with 9.2 points.

Competing in the Level 6 Junior A division, Sequim’s Emma Sharp took a bronze medal on balance beam (9.05 points) and finished ninth in all-around scoring (34.850).

Anne Edwards, Zoe Smithson and Sequim’s Gracie Sharp also performed well in the Level 6 competition, coaches said, with each athlete receiving a state qualifying score.

Morgan Mattix and a trio of Sequim competitors — Jolene Vaara, Susannah Sharp and Kori Miller — competed in the Level 4 competition. Miller led the group with a silver medal in all-around scoring (34.30 points) and earned an individual bronze on floor exercise (8.95). Mattix finished sixth in

Olympic Avalanche tops field in Tumwater Sequim Gazette staff

The Olympic Avalanche, a sixth-grade girls select basketball squad, won their third consecutive tournament and ninth overall championship by going 4-0 at the 27th Annual KVA Memorial in Tumwater Feb. 14-15.

“The girls played extremely well this weekend,” coach Joe Marvelle said. “I’m so proud of them all. They dominated all four games with fundamentally sound basketball while showing great sportsmanship.”

In game one, the Avalanche rolled Black Hills 52-10, with Millie Long going for 20 points and Jaida Wood hitting for eight points and nine rebounds.

In game two, the Avalanche shot down Shelton with Sequim’s Kalli Wiker

leading the way. She posted a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds in the victory.

Wiker and Hannah Reetz paced the offense in game three, a 62-16 win against Rochester. Wiker had 16 points and Reetz had 15 and Wood added nine points and five rebounds.

In the championship game, the Avalanche overwhelmed Chehalis 51-27 behind Long’s 14 points. Wiker had eight points and six rebounds while Wood chipped in with a teamhigh seven rebounds.

“The work they’ve put in since the fourth grade has really paid off for this group,” Marvelle said. “These girls have faced some adversity as a team this past year but are coming through with flying colors and are better because of it.”

Willis led Sequim with 16 points, sinking a pair of 3-pointers out of three tries. Barry added 14 points, 17 rebounds, five steals and two blocks.

Moats also had high praise for the Wolves’ 200 free relay team, who improved from a 15th seed up to 12th for the finals and wound up finishing 11th overall.

“Rookie swimmer Chase Ridgway competed at the district level in the prelims, Andy Hansted (also a rookie) competed at the district level in the finals and Charlie Prosser, also a rookie, competed at the district level in both the prelims and finals,” Moats said. “This bodes well for next year.”

HELEN HALLER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Recently, counselor Joan Trindle and some Haller parents entered the Zone Center. The Zone Center is where students learn about behavioral self-regulation.

The evening started with some of the children being statues in the Zone Museum to demonstrate what each zone looks like, feels like and sounds like.

The zones represent the different emotional states we get into in response to life situations. The students also learn about the different states of alertness that take place in each zone.

After the student zone demonstration, the children went to the library with AmeriCorps members Tabetha Hein and Valerie Foster to hear stories and talk about the zones. The children were given workbooks where they could write about their zones.

Parents stayed behind in the zone center to learn more about the zones and how to help their children use this information at home.

Trindle said, “It is an invaluable skill to be able to self-regulate your emotions. The students and their parents are well on their way to developing good strategies to help them do so.

“We’d like to thank all parents who participated in the zone presentation.”

On March 10, guest speaker Kelso the Frog will discuss problemsolving skills that Haller students are learning and ways in which these skills can be implemented at home. Parents are encouraged to attend.

Babies aren’t the only ones who enjoy blocks. Most children and even some adults get considerable enjoyment playing with blocks. You can build all kinds of things with blocks — towers, bridges, houses and anything else you can think of.

And while you are doing these, especially if you are doing it with someone older than you, you are learning. This is why parents are essential: They are right there to help their child learn.

Because researchers have learned the power of playing with blocks of different sizes and what a child can learn, a new program was developed called BLOCK Fest. It is a program that involves parents as well as the children.

It is especially designed to help children from 8 months to 8 years of age learn about math and science. The parents learn how to be effective helpers as the child plays with the blocks. The program was developed by the University of Idaho.

Parenting Matters is fortunate to have received a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to provide BLOCK Fest throughout Clallam County.

Sequim is fortunate because on Feb. 28 we will have our first BLOCK Fest here at Helen Haller Elementary School.

Cynthia Martin

Children go through various stages of block play. After they learn Stage 1, they are ready to move on to the next stage. It is an interesting developmental change you can see as your child grows more mature but still enjoys block play.

Learning components When children use the blocks, they learn about counting, estimating, equality, adding, planning and more math concepts. They learn about science ideas of comparing, predicting, problem solving, weighing and balancing.

They even learn about literacy as they learn about listening, elaborating, retelling and sequencing. In addition to all of that, they learn about people and things as they play with others, play pretend and help others.

Parents help by asking questions such as, “Tell us a story

about your castle” or “What would happen if we put a round block on top of the tower?” or “How many more blocks will you need to make that fence?”

Parents in the first two sessions we have held in Port Angeles say that their child at BLOCK Fest learned about taking turns, focusing, sharing, sorting, problem solving, counting, being creative, balancing and more.

They also said they would like other parents to know that BLOCK Fest is good for a child’s skills, they would recommend it, it is very educational, it’s a fun way to play with your child, it’s a good chance for child to socialize with other children and parents should take their child and go to BLOCK Fest to have fun and let your child teach you. Parents say they see how it helps with math and more.

SEQUIM GAZETTE

SHS sophomore wins film fest poster contest Annual student event scheduled for April 17 Sequim Gazette staff

Not bad for a first-timer.

Sophomore Breyanna Taylor is the winner of the 2015 Sequim Education Foundation Student Film Festival poster contest and a $100 cash prize.

Though it’s first time that Taylor has entered a contest to showcase her work, her love of drawing began when she was 4 or 5 years old, watching her older sister draw.

“After seeing what she could do, I wondered if I could be as good as she is,” Taylor said.

Taylor’s submittal beat out 48 other entries.

“It was an extremely tough pick for the judges because they were blown away by the artistic talent displayed in this year’s entries,” festival chairman Elna Kawal said.

The complexity mixed with the bright colors of Taylor’s wolf finally won the judges over, Kawal said.

Taylor is a student in Charles Kleinberg’s multimedia class.

“My inspiration for this drawing was from my favorite style of art called Zentangle,” she said. “I made the head out of little abstract designs and then used the film strips for the mane and used a wolf for the Sequim Wolves.”

Sequim High School sophomore Breyanna Taylor looks over her winning piece for the Sequim Education Foundation’s 2015 Student Film Festival poster design contest. Submitted photo

17, at the Sequim High School auditorium, 533 N. Sequim Ave. The competition is open to all Sequim School District students.

Students must turn their films into the district office no later than 4 p.m.

Monday, April 6.

Film Festival winners are awarded up to $6,750 in scholarship funds, plus cash prizes.

This year the Sequim Sunrise Rotary is sponsoring a $500 cash award to the film student or students who create a Film festival is No. 10 film documenting community service.

This year’s event marks the 10th film The student film may be about their festival. It kicks off at 7 p.m., Friday, April own volunteer work or other commu-

nity individuals, organizations or clubs (either school or community organizations). Preference will be given for local service projects.

A cash prize also will be given for the best Public Service Announcement.

Trophies are given for best actor and actress, and the “peoples’ choice” Elkie Award will go to the winning video chosen by the audience.

A $5 donation is requested to help with the cost of the scholarships.

More information about the Sequim Education Foundation is available at www.sequimeducationfoundation.org, or find SEF on Facebook.

This winter the Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave., will offer a free three-part videography series for young adults between the ages of 12-18.

Workshops will take place from 3:30-5:30 p.m. Fridays, Feb. 20, Feb. 27 and March 6 in the library meeting room.

The workshops are led by professional photographer and videographer C. Woodrow French. Participants are encouraged to bring their personal cameras to each session; the library also will provide a limited number of devices for use during the workshops.

In the first workshop, participants will focus on previsualization, storyboarding and basic camera/equipment operation.

The second session will explore various filming techniques and the final session will be devoted to editing and uploading projects to YouTube.

Because space is limited, pre-registration is required.

HOLLY is a very sociable long haired chihuahua and is well behaved. This sweet 6 year old girl gets along well with other dogs, as well as cats. (Though she will chase if they run). Holly can be a bit yappy, but this could be improved. She will need a secure fenced yard. She knows come and off; though her recall can be subject to her mood. Her owner is going into a living situation where she cannot take Holly and Ivy her sister. These little girls are very bonded and prefer to adopt them together.

DOBBY is a Maltese/ mix, approx. 8 yrs. old. He was paper trained and is learning to use our doggy doors and seldom has an accident. He loves to play with other dogs, ride in a car and doesn’t chew things up when left alone.

BUDDY is a 18 mo. old, purebred, Rough Collie.

His obedience skills are exceptional. Buddy’s forever The Bluffs home will need to be calm.

He’ll need a confident & playful canine “sibling� & a fenced yard. Buddy can be wary of strangers. Buddy meets strangers with a minimum of barking, but still has trouble with strangers in his home. He never growls or shows aggression. It is probably better for Buddy to live in a home without little children.
