Shea, Sequim’s schools superintendent, is taking a bit of his own advice.

Shea is one of three finalists for the open superintendent position for the East Valley (Spokane) School District. East Valley school officials say Shea is a finalist and will be taking part in a full-day interview there on March 5.

Other finalists are Kathryn Orozco, superintendent of the Whitefish School District in Whitefish, Mont., and Tom Gresch, interim superintendent at East Valley.

East Valley school district officials scheduled a full-day interview with Orozco for March 3 and one with Gresch for March 4.

East Valley’s school board directors are scheduled to meet following Shea’s interview March 5 and may make a decision as early as that evening.

Revamping the way skilled nursing facilities are rated, federal officials announced earlier this month the three criteria used to create a Medicare rating will undergo additional oversight.

The new ratings — a one- through five-star system, with more stars signifying above average quality — are designed to reflect the quality of more than 15,000 nursing homes, including Sequim Health and Rehabilitation and Avamere Olympic Rehabilitation of Sequim.

The system went public Feb. 20 at Medicare’s Nursing Home Compare website.

Since the rating updates, Sequim Health and Rehabilitation went from five stars (much above average) to three stars (average) while Avamere went from three stars to four (above average).

The three criteria that equate to a rating consist of staffing, quality measures and health inspections.

Individuals with the organized group, West Coast Action Alliance, were escorted by five tribal enforcement officers across the street at the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal campus in Blyn, Friday, Feb. 20. The group, actively against the U.S. Navy’s plans to construct an electronic warfare range along the western border of Clallam and Jefferson counties, came to the meeting to acknowledge Sequim city councilors’ attendance at a private meeting between the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe and Navy officials, not subject to the Open Public Meetings Act.

“Ann wanted to tie it (the interactive route) into the Irrigation Festival,” McClure said.

The route and educational signage will be permanent, but during the 120th Sequim Irrigation Festival from May 1-10, participants will be able to submit their complete questionnaire about Bell Creek to Soule for a contest, McClure explained.

With the oversight and guidance from Soule, Mc-

Clure and Be The Change club members hope to finish their project by the end of March. Additionally, within the next month public notice signs will be installed at every point a road crosses Bell Creek to help heighten public awareness of its presence.

Once the route is complete, Soule will provide links to resources and maps associated with the project on the city’s website and anticipates presenting the project to the Sequim City Council at its first meeting in April, she said.

Changes abound for Sequim Education Foundation Group keeping mission of opening opportunities for Sequim students

by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

More than a decade ago, when two school levy efforts failed to get approval from local voters, frustrated Sequim school advocates started looking for a way to keep options open for students.

Taxpayers in Sequim haven’t failed to approve a similar measure since that so-called “double levy failure” in 2001, but the group that came together to form the Sequim Education Foundation still is going strong. While the mission has stayed the same, new faces in new roles are giving SEF a new look and new outlook.

“We found a purpose,” foundation vice president Elna Kawal says.

“Even though the levies passed, there are a lot of things the school district couldn’t do.”

Leading the charge of this nonprofit 501(c)3 group is new president Jodi Olson, OLSON following the recent resignation of Craig Stevenson. Since January 2011, Olson has served as director of SEF’s Student Enrichment Program. She

many as 70 in attendance.

“It’s been a great way of involving the community,” Olson says. “We have a ton of retirees here — such an incredible resource.”

The foundation gets students involved with its annual engineering challenge, with hundreds of youths exploring various themes of engineering, as well as its annual film festival that sees student filmmakers compete for scholarships and awards.

Mary Budke, executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula, said she’s seen the film festival make a big, positive impact on some of the youths her club serves. “(The festival) provides access for those that usually don’t have resources or avenues for them to express themselves in the fine arts,” she says.

While the annual engineering challenge has taken on different forms over the years, this year’s event — set for early June, soon after rounds of testing are complete — is based on the Design Squad Nation educational website.

Fun, hands-on projects is “what makes it meaningful to them,” Olson says.

“It’s just life-changing for some of these kids,” Kawal says.

The foundation awarded a rather

unique grant earlier this school year, when eight middle school teachers approached the group for funds to experience the Pompeii exhibit at Seattle’s Pacific Science Center and incorporate that into their studies.

The Sequim Education Foundation also is known for scholarships to help students with their next steps. Former Sequim school board director June Robinson and her husband Ray both have scholarships in their name through the foundation, one for youths studying journalism/history and another for science.

SEF also has helped fund teacher It floats!

Proposed New 2015 Comprehensive Plan to be Available for Public Comment

Arts Advisory Commission

It is expected that the City Council will approve distribution of a new draft Sequim 2015 Comprehensive Plan for public review and comment at the March 9 City Council Meeting. The draft Plan is the culmination of more than 600 citizens’ participation in the Sequim 120 public involvement program over the past three years. When adopted following public review and comment, the new Plan forms the basis for all growth-related regulations and City capital spending.

The proposed new Plan presents a very different growth future for Sequim than the current 2006 Plan. Most significantly, the projected growth rate is reduced from over 5% annually to 2% - still an increase of more than 3,000 new residents within 20 years. The new Plan presents Sequim in 2035 as a place that reflects the core values expressed consistently by Sequim 120 participants: friendly, small-town feel, walkable, convenient, connected, multi-generational, affordable, and preserve rural. It also proposes a new land use plan and new zoning for most properties in the city.

After City Council’s approval for distribution, the draft Plan document will be available on the City’s web site, at the Library, and at the DCD / PW Building at 615 N. 5th Avenue. Opportunities for public comment on the Plan are scheduled to begin in late April and continue into June.

the north end of Kitchen-Dick Road.

Race organizers expect 400 to 500 riders each day, with participants from across the Puget Sound region and Eastern Washington.

For racers there will be on-site coffee and snacks provided. On March 14, Maggie May’s Espresso & Outfitter, a Sequim business, will be on site providing food and drinks.

After seeing a $49.5 million school construction bond proposal fall short of the 60 percent standard required to approve it, Sequim school advocates are considering if and when to go back to voters with another plan.

“We feel the message was correct — it’s still the right package,” Jim Stoffer, chairman of Citizens for Sequim Schools’ bond campaign committee, said.

“I don’t know how we could really take anything else off of it. The needs still are there.”

The 20-year bond would have, among other projects, paid for land and the building of a new elementary school, added four classrooms, a gym and service kitchen at Greywolf Elementary School, added six science classrooms and band/choir rooms at Sequim High School and pay for the tearing down an unused portion of the Sequim Community School.

Stoffer said members of the Citizens for Sequim Schools group will look at election data — particularly at voting participa-

State lawmakers recently passed on a constitutional amendment that would’ve lowered the threshold for passage to a simple majority. The measure, authored by Rep. Mia Gregerson, D-SeaTac, and Rep. Dick Muri, R-Steilacoom, was removed from the Education Committee agenda the night before it was due for a vote, just before the panel was due to report bills to the full House.

“This is the only way we can build schools, is with a bond,” Stoffer said. “I think the (Sequim) results indicate it was favorable by the community.”

Sequim schools superintendent Kelly Shea said he is at a loss for how to connect more with voters.

“Our facility needs are still there — we’ll just continue to add to the list,” Shea said. “We cannot just fold up the tent and call it good. Our kids deserve more than that.”

Stoffer said Citizens for Sequim Schools is open to assistance with future campaigns.

On March 2, Stoffer offered to the school board some statistics the group has gleaned from the Feb. 10 special election: Of the 3,319 Sequim-area residents of traditional parent/guardianship ages, 1,858 of those are eligible registered voters in Clallam County.

Stoffer said if 315 voters in the Feb. 10 election had switched from “no” votes to “yes” the bond would have met the 60-percent mark.

“One of our big concerns is running up against a levy,” Stoffer said, noting t hat Sequim’s current programs and operations levy runs out in 2017.

He said he doesn’t want to see Sequim in the same position the Port Angeles School District was in this February with a bond and a levy package going to voters at the same time. (Port Angeles’ levy earned approval but bond failed with less than 50 percent of the overall vote.)

Shea said he considered and finally applied for the position in January for family reasons. Shea’s mother was diagnosed with cancer last March and has undergone chemotherapy treatment since, and last November Shea’s stepfather died, he said.

“There’s only one place I’d be willing to leave Sequim for — that’s Spokane Valley,” Shea said. “If I can, I’d like to live close to my mom in case the cancer comes back.

I don’t know when the next opportunity will be.”

Born in Spokane, Shea lived in Oklahoma for about four years before returning to Spokane to start schooling. Shea spent about a year-and-a-half in each of the East Valley and West

Valley Spokane schools but spent the bulk of his own school years — about 10 — in Spokane’s Central Valley School District. He received a bachelor’s degree, master’s degree and principal certification from Spokane’s Whitworth University and his Washington state superintendent certification from Washington State University.

Shea then worked as an elementary school teacher in Spokane for 11 years and as an elementary school principal for the Mead (1998-2004) and Central Valley (20042007) school districts before becoming executive director of Human Services with the Mead School District in Spokane.

The Sequim school board hired Shea in July 2012.

Tooth Truth

Dental Insurance has been called a mixed blessing by dentists and a free benefit by employees. And not all dental insurance plans are created equal. But in most cases it has encouraged many to have dental work done that might otherwise be ignored. One question that many new patients have is “do you take my insurance”? Actually they want to know if we are “preferred providers” for their insurance? Preferred providers have agreements with particular insurance companies as to a pricing structure. The idea is that for agreeing to a fee schedule, insurance companies will list the dentist as a preferred provider.

One of Sequim’s two elementary schools is expanding — sort of — for the 2015-2016 school year.

The Sequim School District is adding two portables to Helen Haller Elementary School.

Both are to be delivered in June and will be installed on the school’s east side, officials said in mid-February.

The district considered putting the portables on the school’s west end between Helen Haller and the Sequim Boys & Girls Club, but opted for the east side when factoring in utility hookup fees.

“Putting them in a parking lot between the Boys & Girls Club and the school is the best option,” Sequim schools superintendent Kelly Shea said, but noted that costs of hooking up to city sewer and water nearly double.

That puts the number of portable classrooms in the district to 25, with 13 classrooms in seven portables at Helen Haller, eight classrooms in four buildings at Sequim High School and four classrooms in two portables at Greywolf Elementary School.

“Our only option at this point is to buy more portables,” Shea said.

“East Valley is an exceptional school district,” Shea said. “This allows me to continue to be a superintendent but really (this) is about family.”

Now, Shea is one of three finalists to take the lead administrative role at East Valley, a school district with more than 4,000 students, seven schools, 480 staff members and an annual operating budget of $44.4 million.

state standard of quarantining any non-vaccinated students if any of our students are diagnosed with measles,” Allison said.

Kristin Smith, office manager at Five Acre, echoed Allison.

“We’re the same as any other school with reporting,” she said.

Five Acre reports its kindergarten-eighth grade classes this year have five exemptions for 60 students.

“Five Acre School’s rate of immunization may be unique in the Sequim/Port Angeles geographic area,” Smith said, “but we experience similar vaccination rates as other independent/non-religious schools.”

For preschools, Paul Throne, spokesman for the Office of Immunization, said they file their immunization numbers through child care licenses handled by the Department of Social and Health Services.

He said there is no analysis currently for preschool immunizations because his office focuses on school-age reports.

Smith said Five Acre School had 11 exemptions for 34 students in their prekindergarten classes last year and nine exemptions of 38 this year.

Bittner said the Sequim School District’s 0-6 program Developmental Preschool’s vaccination numbers are filed with Helen Haller Elementary.

Ronald Peregrin, the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office’s undersheriff for the past eight years and a 48-year veteran of public service, announced last week that he’s retiring.

Peregrin, a Sequim resident, was responsible for getting the Clallam County Sheriffs’ Office accredited under the newly instituted Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs standards. Department officials praised Peregrin’s leadership, noting he “instilled pride and professionalism through a daily example of thoroughness and attention to detail.”

In a press release from the office, Peregrin was lauded for being the “driving force behind CCSO’s reputation as a professional and responsive public safety organization over the past eight years and he will be

average one more flight a day. The proposal does not introduce new flight paths, she said.

As for any possible danger from transmissions, Nakahara said the emitters are safe according to the Electrical and Electronics Engineers “Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.” With sound concerns, she said planes should remain on the same flight path and won’t be flying lower than 10,000 feet and should not be any more audible.

Already, pilots from the Navel Air Station Whidbey Island have been conducting training scenarios along the Olympic Peninsula, but with the expansion of an electronic warfare range, pilots also can train to detect dangerous electromagnetic signals – training scenario pilots currently must complete in Idaho, Nakahara said.

According to Nakahara, by moving the electromagnetic warfare simulation training from Idaho to the Olympic Peninsula and therefore closer to Whidbey Island saves the Navy about $5 million per year.

Although Navy officials claim electromagnetic warfare training has been occurring within the area for years, and the frequency of aircraft flights in the operating area are only projected to increase by 10 percent, Ron Richards, a co-founder of West Coast Action Alliance and former Clallam County com-

missioner, Richards argues, “It’s not the same type or degree of training,” being proposed.

Plan opposition Peter Goldmark, Washington State commissioner of public lands, provided Rear Admiral Jeffrey Ruth with a letter late last month to inform the Navy that officials with the Department of Natural Resources “would prefer not to partner at this time.”

“DNR land has been publicly discussed as a location for the Navy’s proposed electromagnetic warfare training on the Olympic Peninsula,” Goldmark wrote in the letter.

“Though we have not received a formal land use or lease application for this project, we feel that we are adequately informed to decide that we would not be interested in participating in this training exercise.”

Richards said his group would like to contact as many elected officials as they can

Prior to establishing an electromagnetic warfare range, Navy officials seek to complete the Environmental Impact Statement plan and obtain land use permits and/or permission from public landholders to allow access to the possible site locations.

“We’re still going through the analysis,” Nakahara said. “We’re hoping to start the electronic warfare training in the fall around September.”

“We would like them to follow Peter Goldmark’s example,” he said.

West Coast Action Alliance began as a Clallam County-centric grassroots community push back of the Navy’s proposal and has grown to upwards of 500 members, Richards said. The organization collaborates with community groups, such as Protect Olympic Peninsula with thousands of participating individuals.

Noise pollution, periodic closures of portions of the Olympic National Forest, electromagnetic radiation exposure and potential adverse economic impacts are among Richards’ and residents’ concerns with the Navy’s proposal increase its presence to include a electronic warfare range throughout the western side of the Olympic Peninsula.

On March 2, Clallam County Sheriff Bill Benedict promoted Ronald Cameron to the position of undersheriff, succeeding Ronald Peregrin.

Cameron served as the chief criminal deputy and has been with the Sheriff’s Office since March 1, 1985, when he was hired as a patrol deputy. In May 1990, Cameron transferred to a detective role where he remained until his promotion to patrol sergeant in February 1999. In March 2002, Cameron was promoted to captain and in September 2007 he was sworn in as the chief criminal deputy by Benedict.

Earlier this week, Benedict also swore in Sgt. Brian King to the position of chief criminal deputy and deputy Jim Dixon to the position of patrol sergeant.

Through electronic warfare, Nakahara said the Navy intends to use electronic signal emitters to improve aircrew training for aviators from electronic warfare squadrons based at Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island.

The training provides ground and air servicemen information from signals of interest by sorting through existing signals, she said.

Nakahara said flight traffic mostly comes from sea to land to reflect real-life scenarios and that if the training is approved, it would increase flight traffic about 10 percent or on

Councilors mostly agreed a meeting was necessary after the testimony.

“I think it’ll prove to be a mistake for the city not to weigh in on something that is so obviously a widespread concern and controversy regardless of the outcome,” Councilor Ken Hays said. “It’s important we hear as much as we can about it.”

Councilor Erik Erichsen said he only would want a public meeting if the Navy attended.

City councilors met with the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe and U.S. Navy on Feb. 20 at the tribal campus in Blyn to listen in on a presentation from the Navy about its Pacific Northwest EW Range Environmental Assessment.

Ritchie said the city councilors cannot legally base any decisions on information they heard from the private meeting but they can use information from the proposed public meeting and information requests from the Navy and Federal Aviation Administration “The issue with us will probably be sound (related),” he said.

Navy officials have prepared a draft Environmental Impact Statement/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement to evaluate potential environmental impacts associated with military training and testing activities within the Northwest Training and Testing Study Area.

In the proposed environmental assessment, the Navy plans to use a permanent electronic emitter at Pacific Beach owned by the Navy and three mobile emitter vehicles at 15 proposed locations within western portions of Clallam, Grays Harbor and Jefferson counties on unpopulated land operated by the U.S. Forest Service and State Department of Natural Resources.

Nakahara said the current proposed plan updates a 2010 plan using current technology because certain equipment wasn’t available until recently.

greatly missed.”

Peregrin began his law enforcement career with Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife in 1967 and was stationed in Yakima, Moses Lake, Puyallup and Olympia.

He served as an officer, detective and deputy chief, retiring in 1999. He returned to active duty as a special agent in the U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service in Port Angeles.

After working with the U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service for seven-and-a-half years, Peregrin was selected by Clallam County Sheriff Bill Benedict for undersheriff in 2007.

Peregrin received his associates degree in criminal justice from Green River College in 1975. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1962-1966. He served 32 years in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve, retiring as a Chief Petty Officer in 2007.

Peregrin lives in Sequim with his wife Sharon. They have two adult sons and four grandchildren.

Clifton B. “Cliff” Vining

The first of the 2015 Master Gardeners’ “Get It Growing” series appears in the A section of this week’s Sequim Gazette (above). A teaser on page B-1 incorrectly lists on which page the column appears.

Clifton B. (Cliff ) Vining was born April 11, 1921 in Estancia, New Mexico. His parents were Sidney Raymond and Iona Maud (Kelly) Vining.

Cliff passed away on February 21, 2015 at the age of 93.

At the age of four, his family moved to Sequim, Washington where he grew up and received his education. Cliff graduated from high school in 1939.

Following graduation, Cliff started working at the Clallam Co-op as a grocery clerk.

In 1942, Cliff moved to Grandview, Washington.

Cliff met and married Bette Lou King.

After attending Radio and Television School in Portland, Oregon, Cliff and Bette started Cliff ’s Radio and TV where he repaired and sold radios and television sets.

Along with the TV shop, he owned and operated a fleet of bulk milk tanker trucks out of the Yakima Valley and Columbia Basin.

At the same time, Cliff started raising grapes and asparagus. Cliff purchased one of the first grape picker machines in Washington to harvest his own crop and used it to pick commercially.

Cliff served on the Grandview city council for six years.

After selling their business, Cliff retired. He and Bette moved to Sequim in 1982.

Cliff was an avid golfer and fisherman. He spent many hours in his boat on the water.

Cliff worked at the Sequim Food Bank for over 20 years.

He was a faithful member of the Church of Christ in Port Angeles, Washington serving as a deacon for many years.

Cliff was preceded in death by his loving wife of 57 years, Bette; his sister, Lurline; his brothers, Cleatus and Douglas; and both of his parents.

He is survived by his sister Lillian of Soldotna, Alaska; along with ten nieces and nephews.

At his request, there will not be any services.

Memorials may be made to the Church of Christ at 1233 East Front Street Port Angeles, Washington 98362 or the Sequim Food Bank at 144 W. Alder St. Sequim, Washington 98382.

Dr. Roger C. Wiley, former professor and chair of the Department of Men’s Physical Education and Recreation at Washington State University, died Saturday, February 14, 2015 at home, surrounded by family.

The first thing anyone ever said to Roger, from his earliest years, was, “You sure are tall!”

And, even as a boy, he towered over his peers.

Roger was born on February 4, 1924 to Lloyd and Alberta Wiley, hardworking folks in Bremerton, Washington.

By the time he was in high school, Roger was 6’8”, and head and shoulders taller than classmates.

He eventually caught the eye of the high school basketball coach who talked him into coming out for the Bremerton High team, which Roger helped lead to Bremerton’s first-ever Washington State Boys Basketball Championship in 1941.

After high school graduation, Roger became one of the first Washington state athletes to receive an athletic scholarship to an out-of-state school, leading him to the University of Oregon to play basketball.

His college career and education were interrupted by his desire to serve in World War II. He was told that he was too tall for the Army, so his family petitioned the War Department to make an exception so he could serve. His mother made all of his uniforms, and after a stint at Fort Lewis, Roger served in the China-Burma-India theatre, helping build roads.

After the war, Roger returned to the University of Oregon, where played two more years of basketball and met his first wife, a tall, beautiful woman named Barbara Borrevik.

Roger graduated with a Physical Education degree in 1949. After their wedding, they moved to Bend, Oregon where he taught Physical Education and coached basketball and baseball. Three of their four children, Roger Jr., Brad, and Gloria, were born during this time.

Later, Roger returned to the Eugene/Springfield area so he could get his Masters and PhD at Oregon, while also teaching, coaching, and supervising the public swimming pool in Springfield. Their 4th child, Steve, was born during this time.

After receiving his PhD in Physical Education in 1963, Roger and his family moved to Pullman, Washington where he became the Department Chair of Men’s Physical Education and Recreation.

For almost two decades, Roger remained in that position. He also evaluated Pac-8 Conference referees, worked to accredit other programs around the country, and was very involved the Pullman Parks & Recreation program, especially in developing Little League. “Roger Wiley Field” is named in his honor.

He was also active in the national organization for Physical Education educators, AAHPERD (American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance), and was National President from 1975-76.

In 1982-83 he was a visiting professor at West Point Military Academy for the academic year.

After returning to Washington State University from West Point, Roger became very interested in computers and helped set up the first computer lab in the Department of Leisure Studies.

He enjoyed mentoring graduate students and became the overseer at WSU’s Camp Larsen, a camp facility on Lake Coeur d’Alene which served disabled children and adults.

Roger was also an active Presbyterian, first in Pullman and later in retirement in Sequim, Washington.

Roger and his wife, Barbara, were known and loved as wonderful hosts in Pullman.

Roger loved having people around, loved serving and caring for others.

When he and Barbara retired to Sequim, they continued to host many friends who made the trek to see them. There was always popcorn and nuts, or crackers and Cougar Gold cheese ready for anyone who came through their door.

After Barb’s death, Roger found a new love in his second wife, Thyrza. They were married on February 14, 1993 and had many happy years together, traveling across the country and the world, visiting family and going on elder hostels.

Thyrza was a loving and faithful companion for Roger.

In fact, he died on their 22nd wedding anniversary.

Roger’s greatest joy, besides his “Bride”, were his nine grandchildren. Each of them was his favorite. From the time they were small, Grampie’s large hands knew how to hold them, his large expressive mouth was ready with a grin when he saw them, and his lap always had room for them. The older they got, the more he proud became of their accomplishments, the more he just plain liked them.

He is preceded in death by his parents, his first wife Barbara, his daughter Gloria (Paul) Allard, and his stepdaughter, Lexi Knazovich.

Roger is survived by his beloved wife Thyrza of Baltimore, Maryland; brother Lowell (Shirley) of Bremerton, Washington/Astoria, Oregon; son Roger, Jr. (Helena) of Helsinki, Finland; son Brad (Nichola) of Zillah, Washington; his son Steve (Carolyn) of Bellingham, Washington; step-daughter Mary Beth (John) Johnson of Columbia, Maryland; stepson Michael (Georgia) Knazovich of Albuquerque, New Mexico; nine grandchildren; Dominic, Rachel, Elizabeth, Jonathan, Jesse, Stephanie, Michelle, Paul, and Christian; and six great-grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held on April 18, 2015 at 2:00 P.M. at Mountain View Presbyterian Church, 5115 100th St. NE, Marysville, Washington.

Donations can be made to SHAPE Washington; P.O. Box 766, College Place, WA 99324, (Attention: Roger C. Wiley Emerging Leader Scholarship fund).

SEQUIM GAZETTE

Odds, ends from the editor’s desk Sequim schools, you are not alone.

On Feb. 10, 16 of 27 school construction bond proposals across Washington met the “super majority” benchmark of 60 percent.

Three of the 11 that didn’t meet the mark? All are within a comfortable lunchtime drive of downtown Sequim.

Along with Sequim’s $49.26 million bond, Port Angeles’ $98 million high school bond plan and Chimacum’s $34.8 million bond to fix a primary school and elementary school also came up short.

(Notice I didn’t use the phrase “failed” there? Some Sequim school folks cringe at the use of that particular “f” word. So I’m writing around it.)

Some semi-interesting stats from February’s special election regarding state school proposals: • While two-fifths of our state’s school bond proposals didn’t pass, Editor’s none of them got beaten Corner badly: each one received at least 49 percent of the Michael Dashiell overall vote. The lowest?

Port Angeles, at 49.68 percent. The highest? Ellensburg, with 73.15 percent to accept a $31.7 million bond.

• Think that one vote doesn’t make a difference? In Cowlitz County, folks in the Toutle Lake School District approved a $7.1 million bond with 60.06 percent of the vote, 609 for and 405 against. One vote shift there (from yes to no) would put the percentage at 59.96 — not quite enough to pass.

• The biggest bond measure on any ballot was King County’s Highline bond of $376 million, which came up short with 54.8 percent yes votes. The second-, third- and fourth-biggest bonds (King County’s Snoqualmie Valley at $244.4 million, the Spokane School District 81 at $145 million, Spokane’s Central Valley at $121.9 million) all passed.

• While there were mixed results for school bonds, maintenance and operations levies (or educational programs and operations levies, as they’re called here in Sequim) fared much better. In all, 42 of 44 levy proposals on Feb. 10 ballots — including Port Angeles’ $17.36 million levy — got voter approval, with just one in Ferry County and another in Klickitat County getting less than the 50 percent (“simple majority”) of votes to gain approval.

• Voters in Washington also approved 11 of 12 capital project levies, with just one (in Benton County) not hitting the 50 percent mark. The one transportation vehicle levy on ballots on Feb. 10, a Snohomish County plan, did not pass.

• Washington voters approved a total of $1.9 billion in school bond proposals, $804 million in school levy proposals and $17 million in capital project levies.

Sun not setting for Sequim in Sunset mag Gazette reader Bob Lampert tipped us off to the fact that the spotlight once again is on our corner of the world via March’s edition of Sunset Magazine.

Look for the yellow flag and red headline noting an article about “The Best Road Trip Eats.”

Writer Brigit Binns describes a culinary route on the North Olympic Peninsula, from “Quilcene to Port Townsend to Sequim to Port Angeles.”

Her stops include: 1) The Timberhouse Restaurant (Quilcene), 2) Sweet Laurette’s Cafe & Bistro, Port Townsend, 3) Alder Wood Bistro, Sequim and 4) Michael’s Seafood and Steakhouse, Port Angeles.

Among her comments is this slice: “Heading west, I stop in the charming seaside town of Sequim. After getting my fill of farm-to-table cuisine — and stocking up on elk jerky (sold at many roadside stands) — I wind up in Port Angeles, the perfect base for exploring Olympic National Park.”

So if you see folks cruising Sequim looking for elk jerky and the sea, you’ll know why.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A parent’s perspective I am a parent. My child is one of many top students at Sequim Middle School. I reject the notion that we can improve education by voting against public school improvements.

W hen you use your vote against school improvements to protest public education, you let my daughter and all of Sequim’s current and future students take the fall for what troubles you about public education. They spend 35-plus hours each week of the school year in public school buildings that are crowded, unsafe, in disrepair, straining to meet 21st century technology standards, led by administrators who insist that low achievement relates directly to lack of funding. This can be improved by passing the school construction bond.

My student, like so many here in Sequim, is conscientiously studying and excelling in school. Despite having years ahead of her before graduation, she already has a focused plan that includes high level studies in mathematics, science, technology, drama, art and language.

The schools here in Sequim are struggling to meet her needs for enhanced instruction and we are engaged in ongoing advocacy for her and all high achieving students in Sequim; seeking cost-effective measures that can be used to bring these bright students together and support a stronger culture for high learning in our schools.

We have concerns and complaints, but we take action instead of letting students take the fall. The school board knows us by name.

The administrators tire of hearing from us.

We have one very important reason for our persistent advocacy: our daughter, and all of her fellow students in Sequim, need a 21st-century education in order to make

meaningful contributions to society in the 21st century.

There is no way to improve public education other than to do the work to improve public schools as a community.

We need this work to begin with funding the necessary physical improvements to meet the 21st century space, safety and technology demands.

We need our teachers and administrators to step beyond the chaos of Washington’s current school funding crisis and do excellent work with every student every day.

We need our parents to deal with the behaviors and habits at home so that kids arrive at school on time, ready to learn and able to contribute rather than detract from the educational environment.

We need every community member who is eligible to vote to be registered and to vote YES for Sequim Schools.

Please be a part of improving our schools.

Kudos for parks master plan

Sequim is moving forward to provide more opportunities for recreation for seniors and its youth with its approval of the Parks and Recreation addition to the Master Plan.

We thank the city council and Mayor (Candace) Pratt for their unanimous vote on Monday night (Feb. 23), and we thank the city staff for all their hard work. We appreciate all the work and support from all racquet participants and supporters.

We’re all looking forward to new tennis courts in the “nearer” future at Carrie Blake Park.

FROM THE WEB • This Week: New tennis/pickleball courts on horizon, SARC looks to Aug. proposal, Citizen of Year dies, and more. (Feb. 25) So the tennis players use the school district site and are part of the reason the school can’t use them any longer due to wear … now they get new ones while the school has no funds to replace the old ones. — Kelly Jo Farrell Hill • Sequim schools superintendent Kelly Shea is one of three finalists for the open superintendent position for the East Valley (Spokane) School District (Feb. 27) It would definitely be their gain and a major loss for Sequim!

OMC survives a broken system … but needs your help now In the interest of full disclosure, there are two things you should know about me in reading this column.

One is that I was employed in administration of Olympic Medical Center (OMC) for nearly seven years.

I was the Assistant Administrator of Planning and Development for most of those years.

In the late 20th century, my boss, then-CEO Mike Glenn, sent me out to talk with the community about what the community most wanted from OMC. The top answers were: 1) local services for people that required daily or frequent treatments such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy, and 2) access to primary care physicians and specialists like cardiologists, neurologists and endocrinologists.

Today, well into the 21st century, OMC provides all of those services and more developed under the direc-

A crew of folks — Ed Bedford, George Bergner, Dan Gase, Cherie Kidd, Brian Kuh, Jim Moran, Scott Nagel, Don Perry and Karen Powell — are seeking to take the old movie theater and transform it. Their effort, dubbed “Light Up the Lincoln,” comes with a price tag. They’re seeking to raise $235,000 in the next 30 days to buy the building.

‘Call for Action’

Think About It ...

Bertha Cooper tion of Mike Glenn and Eric Lewis, who became CEO in 2006.

Many of you will recall the general panic around losing physicians when Virginia Mason pulled out of Sequim first and later Port Angeles.

The community came to OMC and OMC stepped up by contracting with some physicians and collaborating in the recruitment and retention of physicians with Jamestown Family

This brief trip down memory lane brings me to my second disclosure. I chair the Access to Healthcare Committee of the Clallam County League of Women Voters. Our committee has issued a “Call for Action” to the community to tell Sens. Murray and Cantwell to keep our health services intact by amending a proposed federal legislation that will result in an annual loss of $3 million to OMC. The proposed legislation, if passed, will result in the elimination of what’s called “Hospital-based” Medicare reimbursement on physician services better known to OMC physician

patients as the “facility fee.” OMC is sending representatives back to Washington, D.C., to persuade our senators to make OMC and hospitals like OMC an exemption to proposed legislation called “Medicare Site Neutral Payment or Reimbursement.”

Not just any hospital My sincere hope is that none of you will have to learn and cope with the concept of “Medicare Site Neutrality payment” ever again. Here’s the hard part but I will attempt to make clear the jargon-laden, bureaucratic, convoluted, and, some would say, irrationality of this particular aspect of our very broken health care system.

You probably won’t need to remember much because the Senate will vote to eliminate this particular Medicare reimbursement provision

Senators need to hear the voice of the community before March 20.

Community voices are needed to tell Sens. Murray and Cantwell to amend the proposed legislation to exempt OMC. Just tell them, “Help us maintain our hospital and physician services by exempting OMC from “Medicare Site Neutral Payment” – copy and paste or write that sentence in the following: • www.murray.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/contactme • www.cantwell.senate.gov/public/ index.cfm/email-maria Or call or clip and send this article.

the meeting.

Unlike a maintenance and operations levy that expires every six years, once voters approve a metro parks district it’s forever and thus eliminates the public’s right to vote on the existence of SARC, Richardson explained.

“But it’s the direction we’re going now and I promised the people I would protect their back, so I’ll do my best to keep the levy amount low,” he said.

Additionally, unlike a levy, which requires a super majority to pass (60 percent), the approval of a metro parks district only requires 50 percent of the votes. If approved, an elected board of commissioners will be created to manage the new taxing district and will have the ability to levy up to 75 cents per $1,000 assessed property valuation.

In order to secure a proposal for a metro parks district on the August ballot, SARC officials could either file petitions with 15 percent (about 3,500 signatures) of registered voters signatures within the Sequim School District boundary to the Clallam County Auditor or via a resolution of the Sequim City Council and Clallam County Board of Commissioners.

SARC officials opted to attempt to get a metro parks district proposal by way of voter signatures.

“This is the first step in a long process,” SARC Executive Director Scott Deschenes said following the meeting.

for all hospitals. Truth is most hospitals won’t be harmed, or for that matter, impacted to the extent OMC will be. They no doubt would like the extra money but they can do fine without it.

The problem is that OMC is not like other hospitals. OMC can’t do fine without it. OMC is a rural hospital too big to be what’s called a “critical access” hospital like Jefferson and Forks hospitals which receive a better Medicare reimbursement rate and too small to support with any efficacy the provision of involved medical and surgical procedures that result in millions of dollars for large urban hospitals. OMC is what’s called a “Sole Provider” hospital because it is the only hospital that serves a fairly large rural population.

More importantly, OMC is designated a “Safety Net Hospital” with more than 80 percent of its revenue coming from Medicare (58 percent), Medicaid (16 percent) and Tricare (7 percent), all of which pay below cost.

In keeping with its broken system character, our health care system puts hospitals in the position of relying on commercial insurances to make up the difference in covering the cost of low payers like Medicare, which doesn’t work for OMC with less than 20 percent of its revenue coming from commercial insurances.

age its service debt and replace expensive equipment with up to date models.

The “facility fee” OMC currently collects from Medicare helped OMC maintain physician services in our community when the Virginia Mason crisis occurred and continues to help bring physicians to our community today.

A reduction of $3 million a year means something will be lost and my guess is that the loss will be greater than the loss of a therapy pool and too substantial to be made up by community donations.

The OMC board and administration are developing contingency plans that will involve reductions in service and increased costs to patients. It will happen if “Medicare Site Neutral Payment” legislation passes and OMC is not given an exemption.

NAMI Clallam County offers free classes for families NAMI Clallam County is offering two free classes for families who have a member with mental illness.

The first is the Family to Family class, a 12-week course on consecu-

Care

From page A-1 Until recently, both the staffing data and quality measures were internally produced by each facility and, according to the Medicare website, “nursing home inspectors review it, but don’t formally check it to ensure accuracy.”

To begin addressing unverified data used to produce a certain number of stars, Medicare officials now require nursing homes to report staffing levels quarterly, which is verified with payroll information and for the first time the new ratings will reflect each facility’s use of antipsychotic drugs.

Medicare’s starring system has become a consumer tool since it began in 2009 in an attempt to provide more transparency and therefore greater accountability among skilled nursing facilities.

A local look Though Sequim Health and Rehabilitation historically has ranked highly in Medicare rating, the Extendicare-owned facility — along with 33 Extendicare facilities and its subsidiary, Progressive ProStep Corp., named in a settlement — is participating in a five-year corporate integrity assessment with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Officials with Extendicare Health Services Inc., one of the country’s largest longterm care providers, agreed to pay $38 million back to federal health care programs, including Medicaid and Medicare, following a federal investigation. According to the settlement agreement, the federal government contended some of skilled nursing services at the involved facilities were “materially substandard and/ or worthless because Extendicare failed to provide care to residents that meets federal standards of care.”

A high number of stars didn’t exempt some Extendicare facilities from the settlement. A four-star Washington Extendicare facility was directly involved in the settlement while the other Washington state facility also involved had only two stars.

“There really isn’t any correlation between a facility’s star rating and the settlement,” Edward Ebling, Sequim Health and Rehab administrator, said.

Regardless of the imperfections of Medicare’s star system, Ebling said he still feels when a facility achieves five-stars, “It’s a great accomplishment.”

Medicare’s system attempts to provide a consistent rating criteria to compare skilled nursing facilities to one another, which is “at least something and a good

start,” Ebling said.

Avamere administrator Heather Jeffers said when she was a discharge planner, she would tell people to look at the star ratings, but “if you don’t understand it, then don’t bother because it can be misleading otherwise.”

“Looking further than the number of deficiencies, but knowing the type of deficiencies is important because they can be reflective of the other potential problems,” she said. For instance, she said, reoccurring falls may indicate a staffing shortage or a trend of resident weight loss could result from a nutrition problem.

Stamp society welcomes eminent publications editor Historian/collector, Jim Kloetzel calls Port Ludlow home

by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette Jim Kloetzel is, understandably, a stamp collector.

Editor of the Scott catalogs — home of the dominant stamp numbering system in the world, for the better part of eight years — Kloetzel has collected volumes upon volumes over the years.

But his favorite in the collection isn’t a stamp at all. It’s actually a cover, or the outside of an envelope or package with an address.

It’s a Civil War-era patriotic cover with the Liberty Bell on it that was sent and delivered to locations in Philadelphia. Inside is a letter of appeal from the Women’s AntiSlavery Society sent to a local merchant asking for donations to an upcoming fundraiser for wounded warriors.

“I started a mint U.S. stamp col-

lection (years ago),” Kloetzel said, “but it didn’t take me too many years in the auction business to know I wasn’t going to build this great collection,” Kloetzel said.

Kloetzel brings his personal and professional expertise to the Strait Stamp Society, presenting to members at their next meeting set for 6 p.m. Thursday, March 5, at the Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave.

Much of his talk is less personal than the “History of the Scott Catalogue,” a historical journey tracing the development of the Scott catalogues from the first edition in 1868 (and even earlier) to present time.

The significance of the Scott numbering system, Kloetzel said, is that stamp collectors worldwide found they can talk in a kind of common language.

“Once the Scott numbering system took hold, they had a lock on the market,” Kloetzel said.

The talk, club members say, will be filled with facts and interesting stories most collectors have never heard before concerning the catalogs and their creator, John Walter Scott — including the reasons behind spelling the publications “catalogue” instead of “catalog.”

“These are the bibles of the stamp collecting industry,” Strait Stamp Society member Phil Castell said.

Kloetzel was the editor of the Scott catalogs from 1994-2011 and has been the consultant handling all valuing and editing of the United States and Canada portions of the Scott catalogs from 2011 to the present.

Though his father was a stamp collector when he was youth growing up in Los Angeles, Kloetzel didn’t catch the collecting bug until graduate school. He gave up a career in academia (he studied history and philosophy) to join the auction firm of Richard Wolffers, Inc., in San Francisco in 1974.

“My professor (Kenneth Stampp)

said, ‘OK, leave if you want, or come back for your PhD,’” Kloetzel recalled. “I never went back.”

He then joined a firm in Dallas, Texas, for several years and then the staff of Scott Publishing Co. in 1994.

Kloetzel and his wife, Karolyn, retired in 2011 and moved to Port Ludlow in 2012. Make that semiretired: Kloetzel still works for Scott Publishing — nearly seven days a week during their busiest times (May, June, July and August) — editing and valuing their United States and Canada stamp listings.

He also makes the occasional appearance for a stamp club such as the Strait Stamp Society, or for conventions like the one he’ll speak at in late September in Los Angeles, a two-day event, where he’ll discuss how to get the most of of Scott catalogues.

Kloetzel said he treasures two collections in particular: Civil Warera patriotic covers (40 albums worth) and advertising covers that date back to the 1840s.

Everything else — including most of his father’s 50-volume collection — is for sale.

A way to beat the blues Five Acre School preps for seventh annual barn dance

Beat the Blues: Five Acre School barn dance

by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Focused on all things local, from food and beverages to music and donations, officials with Five Acre School seek to host their seventh annual barn dance and fundraiser.

“It’s about good music, good food and good friends,” Anna Yates, Five Acre School community outreach coordinator and barn dance chairman, said.

From the beat of drum, twang of a guitar, ping of a banjo and hum of a harmonica, band members of Joy in Mudville prepare to bring the room to life within the Big Red Barn off Kitchen-Dick Road, Saturday, March 7.

“It’s always a lot of fun and well attended,” Yates said. “I’ve seen Joy in Mudville for years and they really engage people and have a very positive, good energy.”

Other than a couple of small, in-house fundraisers, the yearly

Featuring Joy in Mudville When: 2 p.m.-late, Saturday, March 7 Where: Big Red Barn, 702 Kitchen-Dick Road Cost: $5 from 2-5 p.m. or $15 for 5 p.m.-late and/or all day. Free admission for ages 13 and younger More info: Five Acre School 360-681-7255 barn dance is the school’s primary avenue for raising money to support the Five Acre Parent Organization’s scholarship program and special equipment funds. Last year the event brought in about $16,000 and Yates hopes to again reach a funding goal of between $15,000$20,000.

About 30 percent of the school’s students rely on supplementation from scholarships and the other half of the proceeds raised is used to purchase new equipment, Yates said.

“I think one of the things I am focusing on is the children’s marimba group,” Yates said. “They’ve been going more community outreach and need new marimbas to travel.”

tunes influenced from bluegrass, folk, rock, country, blues and funk, the event kicks off with family dancing and The Power House Band, followed by community drumming and a marimba performance from Five Acre School’s Soundwaves.

To keep the music flowing and spirits up during a brief break from Joy in Mudville, instrumentals by Cort Armstrong are to resonate through the barn. Additionally, local beer, wine and food will be available. Next Door Gastropub, Blondie’s Plate and Crave Cart are scheduled to dish out a variety of cuisine.

All proceeds raised at Five Acre School’s annual barn dance help to support its mission to foster “the social, emotional, physical, artistic and intellectual growth of children, families and community.” Submitted photo

“The community has been very supportive,” Yates said. “We focused on local.”

Beyond the involvement of the local food establishments, Yates received ample community donations for the raffle and silent auction items. Some raffle packages include a taste of the peninsula, a stay at Lost Mountain Lodge or a getaway to Sunset Marine Resort.

“Everyone donated more than I asked for,” Yates said.

Over the course of the year Five Acre School is going to become a nonprofit, Yates said – amplifying the importance of the community’s

involvement and interaction with the school.

Becoming a nonprofit will allow the small independent school more flexibility to pursue various academic avenues and alternative funding opportunities, she explained.

“The school is going go nonprofit over the course of the year,” Yates said. “We’ve been talking about it for years so this is really exciting.”

Tickets will be sold at the door. A free shuttle service and parking is available at King’s Way Foursquare Church, 1023 Kitchen-Dick Road.

So please, we beg you: Stop eating those ridiculous egg white omelets, frittatas and breakfast sandwiches! Viva la egg yolk!

The current report does not differentiate between the saturated fat found in corn-fed, factory-farmed hamburger vs. that found in grass-fed beef, which is substantially higher in important nutrients like omega acids, or the saturated fats found in foods like avocados and coconuts, which our bodies process differently and are considered extremely healthy in many diets around the world.

Random Questions With Magan Waldron On May 16, Magan Waldron of Sequim will vie for the Mrs. Washington crown in Olympia. She’ll compete against 34 other women from the state as Mrs. Olympic & Peninsula, a title she received after applying based on where the contestant lives.

If she wins Mrs. Washington, she would compete nationally for Mrs. America and if she wins again, then internationally for Mrs. World.

Waldron said she felt now was the time to try for the Washington title.

“I love our community and want to truly make a difference,” she said.

She competed in Miss Washington USA in 2001, making the top 10 and was voted Miss Congeniality by all of the delegates in 2004.

If chosen Mrs. Washington, Waldron would speak about her platform “Operation Uplift” with the hope to see it modeled in other counties where volunteers raise

Barry picked as Olympic League’s top player; Glasser earns share of coach’s award Sequim Gazette staff

As Sequim High senior Alex Barry kept sinking shots, Sequim’s win totals kept rising.

The Wolves’ 2014-2015 season ended one game short of regionals with a loss to Olympic on Feb. 19, but Sequim coach Greg Glasser was happy with what he saw from Barry and the rest of his senior-laden hardcourt squad.

would be one game from a berth to regionals, I’d take it,” Glasser said. “I’d say the guys did overachieve this year.”

Leading the way was Barry, the lone Wolf named to the AllOlympic League team this year, while Glasser was named the Olympic League’s coCoach of the Year, along with Devin Huff of Olympic.

GLASSER B a r r y etched his name in the school record book in numerous categories, in large part thanks to his two spectacular final seasons. As a senior Barry set school marks for steals (72) and defensive rebounds (171), second in overall rebounding (238) and third in blocks (47).

He averaged 20.6 points per game, seventh-best all-time since coaches began keeping records in the mid-1970s. During the season he scored 37 points in a contest against Neah Bay, the fourth-best effort all-time, and tied the school mark with 18 rebounds in a contest.

“I think Alex was the most consistent player throughout the year,” Glasser said. “With him averaging 20 points a night, teams are going to guard him accordingly. Every night out he’s drawing teams’ best defender, sometimes double-teams.”

Barry finishes as the leading rebounder in school history with 617 and No. 2 in steals (169, behind Chad Jacobs’ 189),

3-pointers made (141, behind Ary Webbs 197) and blocks (101, behind Brady Marunde’s 107), and third all-time in scoring (1,130 points, behind Ryan Kaps’ 1,961 and Jayson Brocklesby’s 1,244). He’s sixth in school history in post-season scoring and 10th in assists.

Glasser led the Wolves to a third-place finish in the league, one game behind league cochampions North Kitsap and Olympic.

Glasser sees seven of the nine varsity players on the roster graduate in June, with only Jackson Oliver and Payton Glasser eligible to return in 2015-2016.

“We’ve lost quite a few guys over the past few years — guys have stepped up from JV and played major minutes,” Glasser said. “I love the challenge.”

All-league notes Trojans and Vikings led the way for All-Olympic League honors. Damarius Johnson, Jumier Johnson and Makaleb McInnis from Olympic joined Calvin Dennis and Cole Rabedeaux on the first team. NK’s Ethan Graebner and David Perry joined North Mason’s Matt Becker and Daniel Burggraaf and Casey Winderl of Bremerton on the all-league second team.

North Mason was awarded the team sportsmanship award. With the low number of competing teams in the league coaches have dropped honorable mentions, Sequim coaches noted.

Benefits of indoor cycling for seniors According the Administration for Community Living (ACL), people 65-plus represented 12.4 percent of the population in the year 2000 but are expected to grow to be 19 percent of the population by 2030.

Let’s face it, we are not getting any younger. As we age, the more important is for us to stay Guest itactive.

But the Column older we get, the harder it is acPauline Geraci tivity becomes.

We start developing muscle and joint pains and other issues which we sometimes use as an excuse to become less physically active which in turn makes us more prone to injury and the aging process. What to do?

Indoor cycling meets many of our aging population’s needs. For starters, it is a great cardiovascular workout. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that healthy adults ages 18-65 years old should participate in aerobic physical activity for a minimum of 30 minutes, five days per week or vigorous intensity, aerobic activity for a minimum of 20 minutes, three days per week.

An indoor cycling class will keep your heart rate up long enough to provide health benefits. A physical activity that includes continuous cardiovascular activity can help lower your risk of coronary artery disease, can help lower blood pressure and LDL cholesterol, and can help lower your overall resting heart rate.

As we age, we start to develop balance issues because of inactivity or inner ear problems. Maybe we have fallen once and now are afraid to do activities without relying on a walker or cane. You certainly don’t feel comfortable riding a bike outdoors. Indoor cycling eliminates your concerns with balance issues.

Indoor cycling removes the element of risk and the fear of falling so you can experience its health benefits. A good cycling class allows you to go at your own pace and push yourself, yet feel safe and comfortable.

Another worry for seniors is finding a cardiovascular workout that is low to no impact. Indoor cycling offers a high intensity low impact workout. Many people who recently have recovered from orthopedic injuries turn to indoor cycling to help them get back on track.

Remember, as with all physical activity you are about to embark on,

Three Wolves named to all-league second team GIRLS BASKETBALL

Sequim Gazette staff

Three Lady Wolves were named to the Olympic League All-League second team last week.

Seniors Caitlin Stofferahn and Victoria Cummins and sophomore Adrienne Haggerty made the list after Sequim finished 5-7 in the league and 10-13 and 1-2 in districts. It was their first districts win since 2008.

Stofferahn, who was coming off ACL surgery at the end of last season, led the Wolves with 9.7 points per game and grabbed three rebounds per game through the season.

“Caitlin helped us out so much,” head coach Evan Still said. “Getting her back was big. She’s a 6’1” player who can shoot from anywhere and finishes around the hoop well. If she played a full 20 games, she would be a shoein for first team.”

Cummins, a varsity player for three years, recorded

6.2 points per game and 3.5 points per game.

“Vicki is just solid,” Still said. “Everyone looked to her as the leader of the seniors and she had a big voice on the team. She stepped up to us in a big way, especially when we weren’t scoring the ball.”

Haggerty, who was a major factor for the Wolves off the bench, averaged 7.3 points per game, a team-high six rebounds per game and 1.5 steals per game.

She started two games this season, but Still said he wanted her to see some of the game first from the bench to help her.

“She’s a girl who could easily have started for anyone in the league,” he said. “Offensively, she is extremely gifted.

It’s hard not to have her in the game. We’ve got to work with her on defense, especially with foul trouble, but she’s a pleasant surprise. I was expecting 2-4 points a game but had one game with 22.”

Sequim’s All-Olympic League second team players include, from left, Victoria Cummins, Caitlin Stofferahn and Adrienne Haggerty. Sequim Gazette file photos

The Wolves went into districts as the Olympic League’s No. 5 seed but lost 66-28 to White River which remains in the running at the 2A state tournament this week. In the consolation bracket they defeated Evergreen 40-23 but lost to River Ridge 59-30, which also is at state this week.

This spring, Sequim loses six seniors to graduation — Alyse Armstrong, Elise

Beuke, Cummins, Katherine Landoni, Hailey Lester and Stofferahn.

Still said the senior group is special and he’s fairly happy with how the team played.

“Our record isn’t where we wanted to be but overall our effort was there every night and we had fun,” he said.

“The thing I’m most proud of is that they played hard every night. Coaches compli-

mented them for it.”

Tentatively, the only fulltime or part-time starters returning are McKenzie Bentz, Jordan Miller and Haggerty.

“It’ll be a whole new team next year,” Still said. “We tried to get the ball inside a lot this year and Adrienne and Ella (Christensen) are our post players and they can both step out and shoot, too.”

Still said it’s likely they’ll be

more perimeter-based while looking inside as well.

“It’s tough to lose that experience level but we’ll try to have a busy summer schedule with as many camps and leagues as possible,” he said.

“The biggest thing for us is to get the six returning girls in the gym as much as possible. If we can get a solid 8-10 girls in the gym consistently, that’ll go a long ways.”

Cycling

From page B-5 make sure you get clearance from your doctor. Indoor cycling, when done correctly, provides minimal impact on the hip, knee and ankle joints.

Because of the circular motion of riding a bike, your knees properly flex and extend, while avoiding the high impact pounding of other activities such as running or certain aerobic type classes.

Another issue of aging is age-related sarcopenia.

People who are physically inactive can lose as much as 3-5 percent of their muscle mass per decade after age 30.

Even if you are active, you

still will experience some muscle loss.

A benefit of indoor cycling is increased muscular endurance. This refers to the ability of a muscle to continually and repeatedly exert force over an extended period of time. In an indoor cycling class, you pedal against resistance which increase the endurance of the leg muscles: legs, quadriceps, hamstrings, gluteus and even the calf muscles.

Wo r k i n g o u t t h e s e muscles also will help to strengthen the surrounding bones, tendons and ligaments which also help you with balance issues.

In turn, this increased strength means you’ll be able to perform your daily activities with greater ease.

Adult soccer league starting

Adult soccer registration is now open for the Sequim adult coed spring soccer league.

Sequim FC offers year-round, eight-on-eight soccer matches for ages 16 and older. The upcoming spring season features two divisions: a Gold division for players who want highly competitive play, and a Silver league. A women’s-only division is planned for the summer, likely combined with the Port Angeles adult league.

There will be a Champions Cup St. Pat’s run/walk set Trophy to go to the winning team’s The Port Angeles Parks & Rec- sponsor. The first game is Wednesday, reation Department is hosting the March 18. For more information or to Saint Paddy’s Day Fun Run/Walk on sign up, go to tinyurl.com/kvysmxg.

Riding outdoors is great but there are safety and weather issues to contend with. You can’t make excuses about not working out because of the weather when you ride indoors. Indoor cycling also allows you to be free from concerns such as negligent motorists, narrow road shoulders, going downhill too fast and bike malfunctions (flat tires, loose chains, etc.).

It’s good to get outdoors and exercise whenever possible, but it’s also important to keep from putting yourself at unnecessary risk, especially at an age when each fall is a little harder to get up from than the last.

The ability to choose your own resistance also makes indoor cycling an ideal fit-

ness class for seniors. On an outdoor ride, your resistance level is dependent on your surrounding terrain. On any given route in Sequim you will find inclines that you are not prepared to handle. You also may not feel challenged during an outdoor ride.

Indoor cycling will definitely challenge you! Indoor bikes come with resistance knobs. This allows you to raise or lower the intensity of the workout to meet your physical restraints and/or fitness goals.

Many people, not just seniors, would like to lose some weight. If your fitness goals include weight and/or fat loss, you’ve come to the right place.

According to spinning.

com, you can burn anywhere between 400-600 calories per average 45-minute class.

Since it takes 3,500 calories to burn one pound of fat, just 5-8 indoor cycling classes, combined with a healthy diet can help you meet your New Year goals!

Unfortunately, it’s impossible to stop the aging process. But don’t let that excuse you from engaging in your favorite activities.

Come and enjoy a safe and exhilarating workout experience at indoor cycling classes nearest to you!

Pull up a chair for dinner Eating dinner together is a very special time. Actually, there aren’t a lot of times that are quite like this. Everyone is together. It is a time that each person can talk about their day. It is a time for each person to feel important to the others in the family. But in order to get all of the specialness that is possible with dinner, there are a few rules.

First – This is not the time to solve major problems.

Trying to do this at dinner together will ruin the experience. Save that for another time that isn’t so special.

Second – Everyone needs to have a chance to talk. If one person isn’t talking, ask some questions and try to have him or her begin to participate.

How was school today for you, Jack? What book did you get when you went to the library, Mary?

Third – Make dinner everyone’s task. You even can have conversation when your little one is putting the silverware on the table. You can laugh and talk while your older child is making a salad.

Fourth – Don’t argue over

what your child is eating or not eating. Put the food on the plate that you think is the right food and just see what happens. Certainly it is worth talking about the importance of eating healthy food or which foods are the best for you. It is not worth ruining the specialness of dinner together.

Fifth – Do dinner together with regularity. Regularity can be once a week or every night. It should be something you all can plan on and look forward to.

Sixth – Make it go slowly.

The food is the catalyst for sitting together but it should

This is even a good time for a joke but be prepared for your 7-year-old to tell a typical 7-year-old joke. Laugh anyhow. Dinner should be fun so that your children look forward to it.

Why is dinner such a big deal? There are few times when the whole family sits down together. Too frequently there is a television screen flashing pictures or a telephone asking to be answered. This may be the only time all the family is together except perhaps in the car. Riding and talking in the car can be special time just like dinner but the driver may have to pay attention to other things.

Sitting together as a family helps the child understand what a family is. To have both Mom and Dad there at the same time is in many families a rare occurrence. Make sure even the baby is included but don’t let him take over the experience. This is a time to focus on everyone there.

not cause anyone to rush through it. If you find you have a child who does rush through as fast as possible, you can ask him more questions or you can serve dinner more slowly. Start with the salad and then leisurely go to the next course.

Seventh – Don’t answer the phone. Don’t bring phones to the table and don’t get up to answer them either. If they are important, they still will be there after you have eaten.

Eighth – Turn off the television. TV is like the phone; it will be there when you are finished. To watch it while you are all talking causes people to not pay attention to what is going on at the table.

The person not paying attention may be you.

Ninth – Make it fun.

Dinner should include lots of laughter to go with the chicken and peas. There always should be room for each person to talk and include even the funny things that happened during the day.

But don’t forget No. 10: Tenth – Everyone helps clean up at the end. Share the task. Just like the children need to learn how to help put dinner on, they need to learn how to finish off dinner. Parents need some help; children are a big job.

Coast to coast Couple moves from Maine to serve in Sequim Adventist church; community service remains a top goal for church’s new pastors

by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

From one tip of the country to the other, Mark and Collette Pekar plan to make their next ministry in Sequim possibly their last.

The couple who spent 20 years in Brunswick, Maine, started in January at the Sequim Seventh-day Adventist Church, 30 Sanford Lane, with the intent to retire here.

“It was totally unexpected.

We knew nobody there (in Maine),” Mark said. “All the pieces just fell into place. We figured it’d be a short stint but we just found the right fit.”

Mark, originally from Akron, Ohio, and Collette from Seattle, said their former church’s leadership was strong and its congregation consistently supported each

other and were in sync on projects such as building an addition to the church (Brunswick Seventh-day Adventist Church).

“We’re confident God will do something here,” Mark said.

They’ve been active in reaching out to people in the church making countless home visits already.

“We want to get to know people and figure out who the leaders are because it’s critical to have good leadership in the church,” Mark said.

“We want to turn the ministry over to the people to lead community groups and children’s and adult activities while building programs. We don’t want the church to be pastor-dependent. It’s not where we want to go.”

Collette said they are praying for positive changes and

Background

New pastors Mark and Collette Pekar look to meet more people in the church and community after starting at the Sequim Seventh-day Adventist Church in January. The couple said they have a heart for community service and that Collette is the “dreamer” and Mark is the “practical one.” “He’s my brakes,” she said. Sequim Gazette photo by Matthew Nash

new opportunities in the church.

“One thing that’s big to us is community service,” she said. “We’re looking to see what else we can do here.

We’re very eager to find where those gaps are.”

So far, Mark said they’ve found the people in their church have a lot of energy, a tendency to do community service and hold a lot of knowledge and experience in the church.

“We want to see how we can we tailor-make roles to people in the church,” Collette said.

MR. SKEETER is a sweet little boy who came from a family who did not have time for him. He is a little scared of some dogs until he gets to know them. He loves most people, he will bark at first, then be your best friend and snuggle up into your neck.. He knows sit, down and come when called, he is about 85 % potty trained he is still young and needs to be taken out regulary. Mr Skeeter loves to chew on his nylabone and play with his toy dragon.

DASH is a 5yr old male Chihuahua, the typical (always cold) Chihuahua.

Dash is a fun little dog, good with dogs, cats and people. Not a barker and loves to play. He was released to WAG due to owners serious health issues. Dash will need more house training work. His owner became so ill she could no longer let the dogs out so they reverted to un-housebroken.

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

and enjoy life…let

work for you!

THEO is a wonderful, sweet, rambunctious, young boy that is currently in the dog training program at Clallam Bay Corrections Center. He is now 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.
