Sequim School District Superintendent Kelly Shea accepted the superintendent position at East Valley (Spokane) School District on Friday, March 6. He’ll negotiate his contract next week and plans to submit his letter of resignation to the Sequim School Board with his last day slated for June 30, he said. Sequim school board SHEA members will tentatively vote on his resignation at their next meeting on March 16 while the East Valley School Board will vote on officially hiring Shea on March 24.

Even on his 90th birthday, Bob Massey remained dedicated to his craft. The radio announcer worked a few hours on Monday morning playing music in his regular time slot at KSQM 91.5 FM despite a busy day ahead.

Carlsborg UGA sewer plan takes next step County officials draft connection policies and fees by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Clallam County commissioners have given Carlsborg a plan to deal with its wastewater. Commissioners formalized their intent to adopt the Carlsborg Wastewater Facilities Plan, one that outlines delivery of wastewater from the Carlsborg Urban Growth Area to Sequim’s Water Reclamation Facility, on March 10. The commissioners’ intent to adopt the facilities plan was a necessary step to continue progress toward the construction of the sewer collection system be-

cause Department of Ecology officials have to ensure the construction plans are consistent with an approved sewerage general plan, Bob Martin, Clallam County Public Works Administrative director, said. Commissioners intend to adopt the plan as the MARTIN Sewerage General Plan for the UGA and incorporate it into the county’s Comprehensive Plan update and Carlsborg Capital Facilities Plan. According to the resolution, waiting for formal adoption could delay construction. The county needs approval from the Department of Ecology before it

SARC hosts first adult swim meet Local team tops nine of 18 events by MATTHEW NASH

The term “Masters” is a misnomer, meet director Jason Ridle said. Ridle coaches teams in Sequim and Port Angeles three days a week. “The cornerstone of our program is that not everyone wants to swim in a meet but we have enough going on that you can take it as far as you want,” he said. Ridle said the first comment he usually receives is that people want to get in shape before joining. “I tell them there’s no point in waiting, because that’s what we try to do everyday,” he said. Herb Cook, 72, a Gardiner resident, SARC user and a Masters swimmer for 25-plus years, said everyone is welcome in the program. “One of the good things about Masters swimmers, whether you are the fastest or one of the slower people, which unfortunately at this point would include me, you can swim and everyone is happy for you,” Cook said. “It’s all about keeping fit and enjoying the competition and who you are swimming with.”

Sequim Gazette

Swim meets in Sequim aren’t just for students anymore. The Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center hosted its first ever adult swim meet on Sunday, March 8, with about 90 people from the Olympic Peninsula to Seattle area competing in the Old School Masters Meet. SARC aquatics manager Gail Sumpter said it was the busiest she’s ever seen the pool. “A lot of the people I’ve spoken to told me they didn’t know Sequim had a pool,” Sumpter said. Swimmers of ages 1883 competed in the event through the Pacific Northwest Association of Masters Swimmers, which is sanctioned by the U.S. Masters Swimming. Jan Kavavas of Edmonds, 83, was the meet’s oldest competitor. “I keep active whenever I can,” Kavavas said. “I go to a couple of meets a year and in April I’ll go to the championships (in Federal Way). Last The meet logistics Cook, who helped orgayear I was the only official and nize the meet at SARC, at swimmer competing.”

610 N. Fifth Ave., said the idea began brewing after an outdoor meet was cancelled, leaving a gap in March with no events leading into the championships on April 1112 in Federal Way. Normally, the Association of Masters sponsors as many as seven indoor meets and five outdoor meets a year from Bellingham to the Tacoma area, Cook said. “I thought it went extremely well,” he said. “I thought going in if we get 60-70 people it would be a great success and we had 90 — that’s a real accomplishment.” One factor that helped it run smoothly was that SARC received a donation for the Masters’ programs software to record results. Cook said he feels that even though many of the swimmers at the meet don’t swim in Sequim regularly, the word will travel about the meet and facility. “How that plays into SARC’s efforts down the road, Jessica Wagner swims in SARC’s Old Schools Masters Meet who knows, but it certainly on March 8 that brought in close to 90 swimmers. It was the can help,” he said. Sumpter said she thinks first adult swim meet held in SARC.

it’s realistic the event could happen again next year and that any profits made from registration from the event benefits the Making Waves, learning to swim, program and college scholarships for lifeguards.

Meet results SARC’s team, the largest at the meet with 23 swimmers, featured 16 competitors from the Sequim area and the rest

from Port Angeles and Port Townsend. They won nine of 18 events, with Avery Koehler winning the 50-yard backstroke (28.5 seconds), 50-yard free (23.25), 50-yard breaststroke (30.50) and 50-yard butterfly (26.00). Ridle won the 100-yard individual medley (1:02.00) and 100-yard free (53.00), and Eric Ellison won the 500-yard free (5:45.00).

The 200-yard medley relay with Koehler, Ridle, Tony Forcienl and John Keller won with a 1:55.74 time while the 200-yard freestyle men’s team won with 1:42.08 and two mixed 200-yard free teams tied at 1:56.23. In the women’s 200-yard medley relay, Dani Barrow, Kelsie MacDonald, Jessica Wagner and Caitlin Sundin took second for SARC with 2:21.52 while the 200-yard free women’s relay team of Andrea Cortani, Theresa Shugart, Katrina Weller and Barrow placed second with 2:07.04. Another mixed team of Barrow, Koehler, MacDonald and Patrick Singhose took second in the 200-yard medley relay with a 2:09.84 finish. Barrow also took second overall in the mixed 200yard individual medley with a 2:24.47 mark. Regardless of qualifying times, all Masters swimmers can compete in up to three events in Federal Way’s championships. Ridle said he anticipates SARC’s team sending 10-12 swimmers.

Low snowpack impacts Dungeness Water Rule area Ecology officials ready for possible drought by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

The lack of snowpack in the Olympic Mountains may prove to be an obstacle for mitigation projects within the Dungeness Water Rule boundary. Although the design for an aquifer recharge site located near Jake Way off Carlsborg Road is complete, it relies on increased river flow from snowmelt to be an effective water management strategy. “The way it’s looking, I don’t know if we’ll have enough water available for aquifer recharge,” Joe Holtrop, Clallam Conservation District executive director, said. The design concept for the recharge site entails an open trench, perforated pipe and drain rock. Ideally, water from the Dungeness River would be captured and allowed to infiltrate into the ground, Holtrop explained, but with little snowpack and thus little runoff into the watershed, he isn’t sure if enough water will be available to divert mid-May through mid-July when he’d normally anticipate high river conditions.

DOE’s Water Resources Program, said. If a drought is declared, relief funds could be used to encourage Possible drought year local irrigators not to grow a certain The Dungeness watershed is crop or possibly lease water from one of 62 watersheds Washington senior water right holders. Department of Ecology officials oversees. Of the 62, it’s one of 40 Push for more mitigation Despite the looming snow invenwatersheds DOE officials have red flagged for possible drought, Mike tory, County Commissioner Jim Gallagher, water resources section McEntire recently wrote to DOE head for the Department of Ecology officials seeking increased mitigation efforts within Southwest Regional, said. the confines of the “A drought can be declared when Dungeness Water an area is experiencing or projected Rule stretching from to experience a water supply that Bagley Creek on the is below 75 percent of normal and west to Bell Creek on water users within those areas will the east. likely incur undue hardships as a McENTIRE “I want to make result of the shortage,” Gallagher sure the rule works said. “The Dungeness is well below the way it was designed to,” McEnnormal.” Adding to the potential impact tire said. “I want to urge DOE to be of an unusually warm winter, the as specific as possible when it comes Dungeness doesn’t have a reservoir, to mitigation.” Most mitigation is being done thus despite the significant rainfall received earlier in the year, it still on an individual property owner leaves the area subject to water level, Gallagher said. Property owners are primarily choosing to shortages, Gallagher explained. In preparation to provide possible purchase mitigation packages availdrought relief, DOE officials have able through the Dungeness Water submitted requests for drought Exchange, acting like a water bank. Property owners can submit their relief emergency funding with the Legislature, but those funds have own mitigation design and plans for yet to be confirmed, Dan Partridge, DOE approval, but Gallagher said communications manager for they’ve yet to receive a plan.

Although DOE officials have yet to formally respond to McEntire’s letter, Gallagher said they’re aware of his requests and creating additional mitigation is a “goal” they “share with the county.” To pursue this goal DOE officials are doing two things, Gallagher said — one, they’re welcoming local partnerships to explore ways to provide outdoor water to the southern area of the rule, and two, they’re working with Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife officials studying the need for restrictive water management in part to sensitive fish habitat. The WDFW official’s final report is expected late 2015 or early next year. “We need to wait for the outcomes of that study,” Gallagher said. “But, in the meantime we’ll have broader discussion about additionally options … whatever those may be, like land use or deep well water supply.” The Dungeness Water Rule, established by DOE officials, went into effect more than two years ago and has since limited new water users within thousands of acres in the southern portion of the rule area to indoor, domestic water use only. “This has no doubt negatively affected both land use and potential land values for private landowners

within this area,” McEntire wrote in his letter dated Jan. 27. The Dungeness Water Rule, its impacts and the Carlsborg sewer system are the “hot topics” for his district and “both have a lot to do with water and the economy,” McEntire said. The state Legislature earmarked $2 million from the state budget for water supply and streamflow mitigation purposes focused within the rule area (Water Resource Inventory Area 18) and should to be used before the next biennial budget takes effect July 1, McEntire explained. “We’re near the end of the second year of the budget and I don’t want to assume those funds will still be available,” he said. Gallagher said about $1.6 million already has been contracted out and the remaining money may go toward new mitigation efforts or toward existing projects in need of additional funds, but it’s unlikely it won’t be available after the next biennial budget.

From page A-1 Bankston said Massey, who continues “The Classy Bob Massey” show 9 a.m.noon weekdays, has been at the station five days a week as a volunteer lending his voice. “This is what keeps us all young here; the inspiration that Bob gives us,” he said. KSQM’s news director Ed Evans confirms that Massey is believed to be the oldest active radio broadcaster in the U.S. “What an honor,” Massey said of the achievement. Massey has been broadcasting for most of his life starting in his parents’ Tennessee basement with a transmitter. He fell in love with music from his mother’s piano playing at home and at the cinema for silent movies. In his career, he’s played some of the best artists in the world like Doris Day and Frank Sinatra and interviewed some of the greats like Burl Ives and Vaughn Monroe, one of his favorites.

ing and adoption phase. Tentatively, the draft would be up for review in April and final approval in the summer with its first public hearing held in the new Civic Center. Hugo said the plan’s release of a preliminary draft is like a soft opening of a restaurant.

To honor his achievements, volunteers at KSQM gathered honors such as a resolution from the Washington Senate sponsored by Jim Hargrove, a flag that was flown over the state capitol from the Secretary of State’s office and Sequim Mayor Candace Pratt honored him as well.

On-air everywhere Massey’s voice spanned the U.S. before coming to Sequim. He started in the U.S. Armed Forces Radio Network while with the U.S. Army in 1945, broadcasting entertainment to soldiers in Germany. He moved to Palm Beach, Fla., after World War II and went on to work for a handful of stations in Southern Florida before applying to an ad in Anchorage, Alaska, in 1963. He recalls the Good Friday 9.2 magnitude earthquake from March 27, 1964, distinctly where he was working from the KHAR radio station where racks of items fell inside and the station’s tower swayed. He checked on his family but to maintain “normalcy” for locals, he continued to broadcast.

“The first month won’t have a high level of circulation,” he said. First discussed in April 2011, the Comprehensive Plan, which sets policies for growth and development through 2035, includes guidelines for urban growth, land use, transportation, capital facilities/ utilities, housing, parks and recre-

Six years later, Massey became a Washingtonian where he worked for Yakima’s KIT Radio and later finished his career at KBRD in Tacoma. Massey and his wife, Margaret, retired to Sequim in 1992 and she died in 2006. He read about the new Sequim radio opportunity for on-air talent in the newspaper and by chance met KSQM founder Rick Perry in the doctor’s office, Massey said. He’s been a morning staple for local and international listeners ever since. The new process of radio with computers and the Internet was all new to Massey, he said, but he learned. “What a change from the early days of 45s and LPs,” he said. But looking ahead, he’s not sure what the future holds for radio as a whole. “So many stations have gone talk,” he said. “There is a place in the world for a station like ours. It fills a niche. It’s great to have a station like this in Sequim.” KSQM 91.5 FM, 577 W. Washington St., can be reached at 681-0000 and streamed online at ksqmfm.com.

Record attendance for Red, Set, Go! Heart Luncheon The Olympic Medical Center Foundation’s Red, Set, Go Heart Luncheon presented by the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe set an attendance record Friday, Feb. 28, as more than 280 people gathered to learn how to prevent heart disease. Held at the Vern Burton Community Center in Port Angeles, the event raised just over $50,000. Proceeds from the event go toward the purchase of new cardiac rehabilitation exercise equipment for the Olympic Heart Center, OMCF Executive Director Bruce Skinner said. “Because of our sponsors, 100 percent of all money raised at the luncheon itself will go toward the purchase of the new equipment,” event chairman Karen Rogers said. “In the past we have been able to provide funds for equipment that has saved people’s lives and we want to continue to do that.” Speakers at the event included local cardiologist

Dr. Kara Urnes, Dr. John Mignone of Swedish Heart and Vascular Institute, and Deb Reed, who told attendees how they can “Take Exercise to Heart,” the theme of the event. Sequim resident LeAnn Stanley delivered the event’s annual heart disease “survivor” story.

About awareness The educational lunch promotes that the key to eradicating heart disease is education, with this year’s message being proper exercise. “The purpose of our event is to inspire women to become more educated on how to improve their heart health. Many women are surprised to learn that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women,” Rogers said. “We are still receiving donations toward the purchase of the exercise equipment,” said Skinner. People interested in contributing may contact the foundation office at 4177144, Skinner said.

Physicians’ fund gives scholarships The Clallam County Physicians Community Benefit Fund announced in early March the awarding of several academic scholarships and medically related grants to be awarded in 2015.

Academic scholarships for $6,000 go to Elisa

Reid and Kelsey Schneider. A $2,500 academic scholarship goes to Shelby Napiontek and $2,000 scholarships go to Kelvin Herzog, Kathleen Minor, Richard Putnam and Mari Yamamoto. A $1,500 scholarship goes to Alicia Gilstrom. Grant awards go to Peninsula Behavioral Health, $5,000; Olympic Peninsula YMCA, $3,500; Roosevelt Elementary School, $1,968.55, and National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI) of Clallam County, $756.

The Clallam County Board of Commissioners is seeking to extend the temporary zoning controls, Ordinance 896, established for legalized recreational marijuana. A public hearing is scheduled at 10:30 a.m., Tuesday, March 17, at the Clallam County Courthouse to discuss and pass a possible six-month extension. Given it’s been nearly six months since the board approved the interim ordinance for the siting, establishment, notification and operation of any structures or uses relating to recreational marijuana production, processing or retail, the controls will expire April 7. Following the approval of the temporary zoning

can begin construction of a wastewater collection system. Martin hopes to get the construction project out to bid by late summer or early fall. “The collection system is about 70 percent designed,” Martin told the county commissioners during their weekly work session Feb. 23. “The most important and immediate thing ahead of us is our connection policy. Completion of the collection system depends on getting more user information.” Knowing the location and number of residents ready to connect to the public sewer system will allow Martin to better know where additional sewer lines need incorporated into the design or where easements need negotiated, he said.

devoted to the Shoreline Master Program took precedent. “Due to a scheduling conflict with the Shoreline Master Program, staff (with DCD) will need additional time with the Planning Commission in identifying what zones can accommodate recreational marijuana and processing,” DCD planning manager Kevin LoPiccolo wrote in a progress report. At their Feb. 23 work session county commissioners were presented with three options by DCD staff that included: let controls expire, extend the controls or extend the controls with modifications. After discussing the given options, “the BOCC agreed to extend the interim zoning controls known as Ordinance 896,” LoPiccolo said, but to

Martin at the work session. “The standard line of government is that we’re going to require it and then everyone will fall in line and that’s just big government planning, but I believe in an incentivization that makes it economically feasible for people to do it and I think you’ll get the same result.” Given Chapman’s concerns, Martin returned to the drawing board to revise the draft connection policies and fees. “I think the proposal on the table now does incentivize,” he said.

Draft connection policies, fees To connect to the sewer system costs $8,000, but drops to $500 for those that apply for connection within two years of the operational date of the system, according to the draft connection policies and fees. Additionally, those that apply before the collection system is constructed and are within 200 feet of the sewer main, county officials will install the sewer lateral needed from the sewer main to the property line at no cost to the property owner. Although property owners within 200 feet of a main sewer line shall be required to connect within one year of change of ownership, connection is otherwise not required within a specific time period unless a septic system fails. Once the Carlsborg sewer system is operational, no new septic systems are permitted, however Martin included hardship exceptions for both septic system use and connection requirements. Following the approval of a sewer use ordinance, Martin and his staff intend to mail connection application packages to residents within the Carlsborg UGA, Martin said.

In preparation for a sewer use ordinance, Martin drafted a proposed connection policies and fees document listing the options for residents within the Carlsborg UGA. After receiving input from the members of the Carlsborg Community Advisory Council, Board of County Commissioners and Sequim Association of Realtors, Martin hopes to have an ordinance before the county commissioners by the end of the month. By developing the proposed connection policies and fees, Martin was tasked with balancing incentives to encourage early connection with required connection to ensure the system is economically viable and serves its goal toward environmental and public health. “I personally believe the incentive route is the right way to go,” county Reach Alana Linderoth at alindecommissioner Mike Chapman told roth@sequimgazette.com.

Super

sessions to address permanent controls, LoPiccolo told the county commissioners. From their work sessions, the Planning Commission and DCD staff have confronted most zone designations and whether or not recreational marijuana activity is permitted, permitted subject to performance standards or prohibited. However, according to the status report some zones may undergo additional “performance standards.” “Performance standards have been discussed with the Planning Commission, but there has not been a consensus on the application on where and how to apply,” LoPiccolo said. Performance standards may include increased setbacks, restriction when abutting residential zones and minimum lot size, exterior lighting and landscape requirements.

Previously, the Sequim School Board indicated it will contact the consulting firm, McPherson & Jacobson, that helped bring Shea to Sequim three years ago if he took the job. “They will sit down and consider their options,” Shea said.

in July 2012 after teaching, serving as a principal and executive director of Human Services mostly in the Spokane area. His original plan was to work here 5-7 years before looking to move back to Spokane area, he said. East Valley has more than 4,000 students, seven schools, 480 staff members and an annual operating budget of $44.4 million. Shea said Sequim’s two recent school construction bonds that voters didn’t approve (one in April 2014 and Feb. 10) were not a factor in his decision to apply. He sees any future planning for school construction not being affected by his decision to move either. “Everything continues to go forward,” he said. “I’ll continue to serve as superintendent until the last day.”

‘Where Faith brings hope’ Home care company helps in maintaining independence Amber Klienhans, owner/administrator of Faith by Choice Home Care in Sequim, makes one thing clear almost immediately: “If my employees are not supported, my clients are not supported. “If your caregivers aren’t treated right, they’re not going to be able to provide good care.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Voters missed the mark Concerning SARC’s failed Park & Recreation District’s levy (RCW 36.69) and the newly proposed public petitioned Metropolitan Park District (RCW 35.61), I believe the public failed itself by not passing the 12-cent P&R levy that would have secured SARC’s future for six years! I have no problem with people disagreeing with me; I do have concerns of how sparingly the (Citizens for SARC’s) committee is with its campaign information when asking the public to sign their petition for a Metropolitan Park District. That said, I have doubts of the intent of the Metro’s statute, its scope of power over public and private lands; the increased monetary discretion in staff and board’s pay; and its ability to set your tax remittance with 75 cents per $1,000 assessed value without virtually any recourse. It’s paramount you consider the tentative values: the ease of validating a 50 percent vote for a Metro with its concealed excesses versus a super majority Park & Recreation levy with its given lifetime and cost of six years and 12 cents/$1,000. There also is a second way proposed by the majority of SARC’s board to present a Metro and even more devious in contexts. The city and county can present the same Metro with one major difference; they may or can circumvent your vote for board members and appoint them. Let the buyer beware! Read RCW 35.61. Jan Richardson Sequim (Richardson is a SARC board member.)

Tennis court closure clarified Last Wednesday, there was a comment made in the “From the Web” section that condemned non-student users of the SHS tennis courts (Sequim Gazette, March 4, page A-12. As a non-student user of the Sequim High School tennis courts, I feel compelled to reply to the remark that nonstudents are part of the problem causing their closure “due to wear.” Wear has nothing to do with the current problems that those courts are experiencing. The problem is the excessive cracking of the surface of the lower courts. Court age, court construction, lack of maintenance and nature have all combined to cause closure of the lower courts — not wear. Worn courts can still be played upon. Cracked courts, as in the case of the lower courts, presented a different problem —safety. Without maintenance, the upper courts will be heading in the same direction. The school district had been advised for at least a decade that the courts needed funding and a planned maintenance schedule. There was even an attempt to get the city and the school district to jointly fund the repairing of the courts. I agree with you to the extent that the SHS tennis courts are used, on an annual basis, more by the public than the school itself. It only seemed logical that the city help fund their repair. So, who’s a non-student user of the tennis courts? The general public, the Boys & Girls Clubs (tennis

Honoring a small pony with a big heart A very special homegrown pony will celebrate a remarkable milestone by turning 35 years old in early March. Comet, the chief equine therapist at Native Horsemanship Riding Center (home of Peninsula Therapeutic Riding), has served our community’s riding enthusiasts for most of his accomplished life. To honor the occasion and to thank Comet for the gentle and patient lessons he has given to hundreds of children with special needs over the Guest years, children at the Olympic PenOpinion insula Boys & Girls Club will throw a party for him at the Kendall Unit Cheryl Smith in Sequim at 1:30 p.m. March 13. Cake and juice will be served to party guests. And kids of different age groups will be invited to participate in a coloring and art contest. Nash’s Organic Produce will donate carrots for the kids to give to the little spotted guest of honor. Long-time Sequim residents will recognize Comet as the diminutive but bold participant in many parades and festivals. “He’s been with me since he was foaled in 1980,” says NHRC founder Yvette TwoRabbits, adding, “He’s won countless show and event ribbons, has patiently taught hundreds of children of all abilities how to ride and has helped heal and comfort veterans who are suffering from loneliness, depression, brain injuries and post-traumatic stress.” If you or your child have known Comet, you are invited to write a birthday card, “What Comet Means to Me,” for the scrapbook that she has created, a way to honor and

Sequim residents Cheryl and Garland Frankfurth have visited 368 national parks and national park-affiliated sties throughout the country and in hopes of passing on their passion for travel and history onto their grandchildren, they’ve created a map that highlights the routes driven and sites seen. Sequim Gazette photo by Alana Linderoth Sequim Gazette staff

Instilled with a sense of history by his father as a child, Garland Frankfurth went on to teach U.S. history and although he ended his formal teaching career in the Sequim School District, he has continued to learn and explore the country’s history firsthand. Along with his wife, Cheryl, a lifelong resident of Sequim, Garland bought an RV in the late 1990s and they have since embarked on a “quest” to visit all the national parks and associated sites, including nationally designated historical, seashore, recreational, scenic and military sites – thus far, they’ve documented 368 sites.

“My overall goal is to encourage more people to visit these places,” Garland said. “Our longest trip took about seven and a half months and we traveled the perimeter of the U.S., including the Maritimes.” Among their travels, Garland and Cheryl are continually reminded by others visiting the United States of just how much “this country has to offer,” Garland said. Together, they’ve followed the path of Lewis and Clark and even drove portions of the historical Oregon Trail. “We did a little bit of the Oregon Trail in an air-conditioned cab driving 5 miles per hour trying to replicate being in a covered wagon,” Cheryl said. “It wasn’t at all the same, but it’s impressive to see what those people did and the wagon ruts.” From the journal entries Cheryl jots down and the photographs Garland takes, the couple have complied numerous photo albums and have created a map dedicated to their grandchildren highlighting their routes taken and the sights seen along the way. Having taken a few years off from traveling, both Garland and Cheryl admits they’re looking forward to their next adventure to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands where they hope to see six nationally recognized sites. Before heading across county, however, Cheryl and Garland shared a quick snippet of one of their travel experiences. In Dayton, Ohio, while visiting the Wright Cycle Company – the shop where Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur began their

bicycle business in the late 1800s, Garland and Cheryl found themselves in the midst of a deadly tornado. “We were surrounded by tornados and I just about stroked out. It had been about 105 degrees for several days in a row and so it was just prime weather for tornados,” Cheryl said. “He (the park ranger) said we could stay there where they had a basement we could go down into. But, before going into the basement, I thought, ‘Oh man, I probably have some of the windows open on the RV.’ I was just wearing flip-flops and shorts, but it was raining like you wouldn’t believe. The water was flooding down the streets, but it’s so warm to the touch. Once I finally got across the street and buttoned up the RV, I pulled it ahead between some concrete buildings, hoping it would be alright. By the time I got back down to the basement everyone was looking online at where the storm was and we were right in the midst of the heaviest rain,” Garland said. “Later, after we left, we were driving down the freeway and there were caravans of public utility trucks from all different states heading down the road. A lot of people were killed and thousands of people were without power. The tornados were amazing and so scary to me. The funny thing was the older park ranger, who you could tell was quite concerned, seemed to think it was worse to live here because we have earthquakes. Cheryl said, “The younger ranger we were with told me that we were lucky we weren’t in a department store or something because they would have just closed the doors and said, ‘Goodbye and get out,’ and we were just in a little RV. It was still really stormy the next day.” Everyone has a story and now they have a place to tell it.

summer camp), the Peninsula Tennis Club (PTC), Sunday afternoon community tennis, senior citizen tennis, no-cost tennis instruction to school district children, no-cost cardio-tennis (during the summer), tourist and visitors, etc. The “wear” is minimal compared to the abuses that the courts receive from other sources. I won’t elaborate — you may be embarrassed by what you would learn. If anything, senior citizens, PTC members and other non-students have even prolonged the use of the courts. We’ve performed such maintenance as repairing some of the cracks in the lower courts, constructing benches and gear racks inside the courts, repairing holes in nets on the upper courts, powerwashing the courts, replacing nets and center straps, constructing a storage shed, fixing holes in fences and gates, weeding, repairing squeegees, removing water from the courts to enhance drying, removing debris from the courts, installing center strap anchors, etc., etc., etc. What, pray tell, has anyone else done? Answer: Not much. New courts? For nearly 20 years now, there have been frequent attempts to convince the city to construct public courts in Sequim. It’s only a matter of time that the school courts will be closed to the public — at least, during school class hours. Due to security concerns and the inability to lock down the campus, public access to the courts is a concern. And the defeat of the two bond issues set the resolution of that problem back several more years. Within the younger generation, tennis is significantly growing in this area. It is not uncommon now to see potential players turned away from the courts due to usage. New tennis programs are putting the squeeze on current court availability. So, we must move on. We haven’t abandoned the SHS courts and their plight. We tried to fix it. And, we’re still trying. We’ve offered solutions and assistance. There’s just so much that we can do. The bottom line here is tennis has outgrown the community’s current ability to accommodate. Don Thomas Sequim USTA Member/Tennis Professional, USPTA

Established as a 501(c)3 nonprofit in 2006, NHRC provides safe, professionally certified therapeutic riding lessons to children and adults with special needs.

These community college students make up about four-fifths of the students in our public higher education system. They are typically lower income part-time workers trying to go to college, earn a living, and keep their family together. They deserve a break, too. But let’s take this bill and ask: What’s the total cost? About $226 million. Look around the bill, turn over its pages, look in the margins and you won’t find any funding source. Without funding, these tuition cuts are completely hypothetical. But it doesn’t have to be this way. What could the funding source

They could expand year-round if a donor or company would fulfill their wish for a covered arena. There are hundreds of children, adults, families and veterans in our community who could benefit from the healing power of riding and even simply by interacting with these magnificent animals. My own non-verbal son has participated. Indeed, therapeutic riding is gaining in popularity as a legitimate treatment modality for people with conditions including autism, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injuries, speech impairments, paralysis, spinal curvature, multiple sclerosis and others. The diagonal gait of the horse mimics a human’s and provides valuable input to the rider’s brain and muscles, that can help improve mobility, sensory integration, posture, core strength and even talking and social skills. Furthermore, veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and at-risk youth also are known to benefit mentally and emotionally, by forming bonds with these large, powerful, yet gentle and non-judgmental creatures, by working on their trust, non-verbal commu-

be? Our tax code is full of holes for privileged corporations. One loophole enables companies to invest (or gamble) their money in financial stocks on Wall Street and not pay any taxes on the profits that they gain. That’s a perverse loophole to start with because it encourages companies to NOT invest in plants and equipment in our state. Why? Because the revenue they get from sales of products in Washington will be taxed, while anything they make from the money they give Chase Bank or Bank of America or Citicorp to invest is tax-free. This one loophole costs our state about $342 million. It’s that simple. Close this tax loophole — one that encourages companies to take our money and run — and the Legislature could responsibly and permanently reduce tuition at our public colleges and universities.

Oftentimes, a person who has difficulty expressing their fears to family, friends, counselors, clergy or strangers in group sessions will open up in the quiet, gentle presence of a horse. “The horse is the real therapist,” says TwoRabbits. A study of veterans in a therapeutic riding program near Fort Hood, Texas, for example, showed that the activity was much more effective at treating clinical depression and PTSD than traditional talk therapy and medication.

provide oxygen. Root and earthworm channels help to create these large pores. Because of gravity, irrigation water and rainwater infiltrate the soil and excess water drains through it via macropores. Small pores (micropores), only a fraction of a millimeter in diameter, help soil retain water, resisting the effect of gravity. Most of the water in these micropores is available to plant roots. The porosity (the amount of open space) of soil is affected by texture, degree of compaction and structure of the soil. Texture is determined by the ratio of sand, silt and clay in soil. Sand is the coarsest particle, silt is intermediate and clay is the smallest/flattest. Pores between sand particles tend to be the macropores and pores between silt and clay particles tend to be micropores. Sandy soil has rapid water infiltration and water loss, has limited water-holding capacity and warms up earlier in the spring. Silt and clay soils have high water holding capacity, reduced permeability and warm up later in the spring. Sand, silt, clay and organic matter bind together to form soil aggregates that

Beneficial activities of some soil organisms:

Mycorrhizae fungi infect plant roots increasing the uptake of nutrients from the soil. Rhizobia bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into plant-available nitrogen. Earthworms mix large volumes of soil and create macropore channels. Voles and moles feed on insects and earthworms, however voles and moles also can be non-beneficial pests.

provide structure to soil. Soil structure can be damaged by compaction, over-tilling and tilling soil when it is too wet. Compaction squeezes macropores into micropores, creating horizontal aggregates that resist the transfer of water, nutrients and air. Severe compaction in the upper two feet of soil frequently is caused by heavy equipment during site construction and can damage or destroy trees. The collapse of soil structure results in less life in the soil and reduced soil fertility. Good soil structure is key to good growing conditions. Good structure ensures adequate drainage as well as adequate plant-available capillary water and air circulation to sustain biological activity. In good soil there

All proceeds will be awarded to graduating seniors at the high schools in Port Angeles and Sequim. The show is at the Mount Pleasant Grange Community Hall, 2432 Mount Pleasant Road, Port Angeles. There will be six performances and the group needs three volunteers to help with each show. The dates are as follows: 7 p.m. March 20-21 and March 27-28; 2 p.m. March 22 and March 29.

Washington State Parks had a small picnic park at the tip of Graveyard Spit during the 1960s, but closed it in the 1970s. Even then the refuge still was not attached to the mainland. Over time various private lands were purchased to remedy that and to complete the puzzle. On Dec. 17, 1970, the refuge purchased from Mr. and Mrs. Haugland 45 acres consisting of the forested section and bluffs to the west of the base of the spit. On March 23, 1972, it purchased 29 acres from Walter B. Mellus. These two sales connected the refuge to the mainland for the first time. The purchases also included a road right-of-way that allowed the service to maintain vehicle access to the spit. On March 6, 1973, Cecil L. Dawley donated 129 acres of land on Sequim Bay straddling U.S. Highway 101, including both waterfront and upland forest. In 1982, the U.S. Coast Guard ceded 157.5 acres of the spit to the refuge. The current refuge administrative site of 5.04 acres was purchased from Mr. and Mrs. Krier on Nov. 20, 1996. This purchase also provided a buffer for the refuge. Finally, The Nature Conservancy of Washington assisted the service in the purchase of the Weinstein Tract, consisting of 4.56 acres of coastal forest, on May 19, 1999. This tract protected the viewshed to the east from the observation platforms along the main trail. The refuge leases the public restrooms and parking lot near the entrance from Clallam County. With 772.52 acres, the refuge puzzle is now complete. And no extra pieces left over! Now it is our generation’s responsibility to protect the refuge and hand it on intact to the next generation.

the bay “Tses-kut.” When they signed the Point-No-Point Treaty of Jan. 26, 1855, they ceded their rights to most of their land, but retained hunting and fishing rights in all the accustomed places, including Dungeness Bay. Those rights still hold today. The first federal puzzle piece was set down in 1850 when the U.S. Lighthouse Service included Dungeness Spit on its short list of hazardous places needing a lighthouse. On Oct. 1, 1851, the service reserved 190 acres on the spit. Funds were appropriated in 1854, but tense relations between the whites and Natives in Washington Territory delayed construction until 1857. On Dec. 14, 1857, the lamp was lit on the 100-foot tall tower. President Woodrow Wilson added the second federal piece by signing Executive Order 2128 on Jan. 20, 1915, establishing “a refuge, preserve and breeding ground for native birds” and naming it Dungeness Spit Reservation. This piece overlaid the lighthouse station and allowed for the lighthouse and any future possible military uses of the spit. In 1940, a Presidential Proclamation changed the name to “Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge.” Piece No. 3 was joined to the puzzle temporarily from 1940-1955 when the U.S. Navy had complete authority over the spit as a military reservation. They returned it to the Fish and Wildlife Service in 1955. Meanwhile, on May 29, 1943, Washington added piece No. 4 by granting to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service a permanent easement to 321 acres of secondclass tidelands within the northern portion of Dungeness Bay “for the purpose of John Maxwell is the hisestablishing on these lands a wildlife refuge.” That pro- torian for the Dungeness tects the eelgrass beds that National Wildlife Refuge.

One-quarter teaspoon of topsoil can contain a billion microorganisms. When soil organisms break down plant materials and other organisms, then energy, nutrients and carbon dioxide are released, creating soil organic matter. Organic matter increases the diversity and number of beneficial organisms in soil. Next week: “Understanding garden soil, Part II (the process).”

Wolves bank on offseason efforts Coach says squad may be best Sequim has ever seen

Spring Sports Preview: SHS Baseball 2014 record in league, overall: 10-6, 12-7 — tie for second in Olympic League; 1-2 at districts Head coach: Dave Ditlefsen (10th year). Assistants: Kevin Royal, George Twilling, Chris Young; JV: John Qualls, Craig Sotebeer, Jeff VanCovern. Top returning players: Nigel Christian, Evan Hurn, Tanner Rhodefer, Dustin Bates, Ian Quast, Ian Dennis, James Grubb, Daniel Harker Key newcomers: James Thayer, Brady Vig, Austin Hilliard, Gavin Velarde, Logan Hankinson, Leighton Pace Key competition: North Kitsap, Klahowya, Olympic, North Mason

With more hitting, deeper pitching and an athletic outfield, Sequim’s baseball coaches and players feel good about their chances this spring. “I think we’re capable of going as far as any Sequim team has ever has,” said head coach Dave Ditlefsen. “We have some pieces in place to go deep.” A majority of the Wolves return this season including all-league second teamer Evan Hurn, who batted .359, honorable mention Nigel Christian and pitcher Tanner Rhodefer. Rhodefer was second

on the team with a 2.23 ERA and held opposing batters to a teambest .145 average while Christian had three wins with a 3.00 ERA and 33 strikeouts. The Wolves went 7-2 in league play before losing four in a row last year, but they won their final three games to make districts where they lost to Fife 5-0, recovered to win 4-2 against Olympic but were knocked out by Klahowya 4-2. “Even in the games we lost at districts we were very competitive,” Ditlefsen said. “If anything, we pitched well, but our bats went a little cold and kids pressed a little. (This year), we’re hoping in that type of situation they stay focused.” Graduated seniors Nick Johnston and Brett Wright led the Wolves in hitting and pitching and earned all-league first

SPRING SPORTS PREVIEW: FASTPITCH

SHS’s goal: Go hardware or go home Sequim squad eyeing 5th straight state tourney berth Sequim Gazette staff

After four consecutive trips to the state tournament, the expectations remain high for the Lady Wolves fastpitch squad. “I expect to bring home some hardware this year,” Sequim manager Mike McFarlen said. He admits to being disappointed in the Wolves’ 2014 effort where they went 1-2 at the state championships on May 30 in Selah. They lost in the opening round to Capital 4-1, before rebounding with a late-inningcomeback 6-5 win against Ellensburg in the consolation bracket. But the hardhitting Wolves couldn’t contend in a rematch of the West Central Mary Lu Clift throws out a run- District Champiner at a recent practice. She onship with Fife said this year, everyone has which won 10-1 in worked harder because they the evening game. expect more. Shortstop Mary Lu Clift said looking forward, the hardest thing for the Wolves to do now is stay on top. “We’ve worked hard to stay there,” she said. “(My expectation) is to go all the way. Everyone on the team has incredible ability and even though it’s early, we feel the team can do it.” Sequim earned a co-league title with rival Port Angeles, which McFarlen anticipates as another tough opponent this year. “I think it’ll come down to P.A. and us again,” he said. “They are young but have good athletes and are well coached.”

The fourth-annual Sequim Picklers Mixed Doubles Tournament is set 9 a.m.-noon Sunday, March 15, at the Sequim Boys & Girls Club, 400 W. Fir St. Cost is $10 per team. Competition is double elimination brackets with single games played to 15 using USA Pickleball rules.

Only residents from Clallam County are eligible to play. Register by 7 p.m., Friday, March 13. Register by calling 477-4179 or e-mail tbuchanan@wavecable.com. Past tournament champions include Sissi Bunch and Rob Welch (2012), Sandi Gunn and Jan Hoagland (2013) and Denna and Mike McPhee (2014).

Clift said one of the biggest differences between this year’s team and others is that the younger players have embraced the team’s hard work ethic particularly in the offseason. “Everyone worked harder because we’re expecting more,” she said. Sequim moves forward without its No. 1 pitcher Makalya Bentz who earned Olympic League MVP last year as a senior going 15-2 with a 0.85 earned-runaverage and 102 strikeouts. McFarlen said it’s his first year without a No. 1 pitcher. “It’s rare for a team to not have a girl you throw against better teams,” he said. “Luckily, we have four non-league games to test the water.” Olivia Kirsch, McKenzie Bentz, Allysen Montelius and Chloie Sparks will see time as starting pitchers for the Wolves, he said. Also graduated are all-league first teamers Alexas Besand (1B) and second-teamer Melissa Lewis (OF)

Adult soccer registration is now open for the Sequim adult coed spring soccer league. Sequim FC is starting its eighth season and offers year-round, eighton-eight soccer matches for ages 16 and older. The league has averaged about 10 teams per season and welcomes new teams or individuals to sign up; players without teams will be placed on a team. The upcoming spring season features two divisions: a Gold division for players who want highly competitive play, and a Silver league. The Silver league is designed to be a less competitive, co-ed recreational league and is suggested for players that are older (40 plus), or for players newer to the game or looking for more recreational-style game. A women’s-only division is planned for the summer, likely combined with the Port Angeles adult league. There will be a Champions Cup Trophy to go to the winning team’s sponsor. The first game is Wednesday, March 18. For more information or to sign up, go to tinyurl.com/kvysmxg. and seventh All-Around (33.30).

Spring Sports Preview: SHS Girls tennis

Sequim Gazette

Sequim High School’s girls tennis team plans to make the best of cramped conditions. After Sequim School District officials closed two tennis courts due to unsafe conditions at the beginning of the school year, some feared the girls team would need to make cuts for the first time in its history due to less court space. “I’m not going to do it,” head coach Justine Wagner said. “I just can’t. The great thing (about tennis) is that it’s a lifetime sport. I don’t want to take that away from anyone.” However, with 25 girls on the team, Wagner said she’s still figuring out the logistics for practices. In the fall, Wagner had to make adjustments for the boys team and said for the girls they might have to travel to an opponent’s home courts twice instead of hosting matches. If and when Sequim hosts matches depends on how many girls are on the opposing team, she said. At practices, girls are split among the three courts by varsity, junior varsity and live game simulation. “It stinks,” Wagner said. “Look at how many girls are just standing at times. Only 12 of 25 can go at any time.”

2014 record in league, overall: 5-3/9-3, fourth in Olympic League; on doubles team (alternates) to state Head coach: Justine Wagner (second year) Varsity returning players: Kaleigh Cassal, Karen Chan, Hannah Gauthun, Cheyenne Sokkappa, Katelyn Wake Key league competition: North Kitsap, Kingston, Olympic

This year, the Wolves follow a fourth-place Olympic League finish last year, sending two doubles teams to districts. Junior Karen Chan returns after pairing with graduated senior Melanie Guan to earn a state alternate spot last year. Senior Hannah Gauthun returns too after earning a doubles state berth in 2013 with graduated senior Anna Prorok. They went 0-2. Gauthun and Cheyenne

Sokkappa are the Wolves’ only seniors after losing nine last year to graduation. Wagner said five varsity players return while 11 players are taking the court for the first time on the team. Chan and Gauthun are set for the No. 1 doubles team while Sokkappa takes the No. 1 singles spot after playing at No. 2 or No. 3, depending on match-ups last year.

with Besand hitting .397 with a team-high five home runs, 36 RBIs and .735 slugging percentage and Lewis with a .413 average, 12 extrabase hits and 28 RBIs. But a majority of the team is back including first-team allleaguer Kirsch (3B), second teamers McKenzie Bentz (catcher), Clift (SS) and honorable mentions Tia Bourm (OF) and Halie Wilson (2B). The girls back on the diamond have all shown they can hit. For example, Kirsch hit .397 with 16 RBIs, Bentz .370 with 17 RBIs, and Clift .362 with four triples, three home runs, 24 RBIs. Unfortunately for the Wolves, they lost senior Shelby Lott to an injury for the season after leading the Wolves in hitting with a .427 batting average last year. The Wolves open their season at home against Coupeville on Wednesday, March 18.

team honors. Wright hit .443, and Johnston led Sequim with four wins, a 2.20 earned-run-average and 63 strikeouts. Rhodefer, who will replace Johnston at as the No. 1 pitcher, said the team is overall stronger this year despite Johnston and Wright graduating. “We had a couple of guys carry us but the hitters all worked hard in the offseason so we should be a better hitting team,” he said. Rhodefer said there are at least a handful of players with power. “With all our guys from one-nine (in the batting order), I feel comfortable with any of them with the game on the line,” he said. Ditlefsen agrees. “We have nine or 10 guys with legitimate varsity experience back,” Ditlefsen said. “We knew we were going to be very young last year but all of our sophomores and juniors

play before then, said it’s a little intimidating being the No. 1 singles play. “I’ve improved a lot,” she said,” and I’m hoping to make districts.” Since starting, Sokkappa said she’s worked hardest on her serves. “They are my strong point,” she said. “It carries me through my matches.” Wagner said this year is a rebuilding a year for the team and the remainder of varsity spots will change.

saw some growth. Nick (Johnston) was our No. 1 pitcher but our No. 2, 3 and 4 are all back. I think we have three or four No. 1-type kids.” The Wolves starting pitchers will be Rhodefer, Christian, James Grubb

She’s not expecting to win the league title, she said, since some teams like North Kitsap are extremely deep and gained even more experienced players. “We have really nice girls who are very coachable, fun, and are a good group of people who will wear our school colors well,” she said. Sokkappa said for those newcomers who want to do well, she said it all depends on how far they want to go. “Stay after practice and work some more,” she said. “It could become a lifetime hobby. (For me) It’s definitely fun and I’ll consider doing intramurals in college.” The girls tentatively open their season at home against the Olympic Trojans on March 16.

and Daniel Harker, Ditlefsen said. Offensively, Ditlefsen said the Wolves have put a lot of time and effort into playing baseball year-round. “I’m expecting big things from Nigel Christian. He just keeps getting better each year,” he said. “Evan Hurn has got a great lefthanded swing and Daniel Harker and James Grubb are both returning starters who keep getting better.” Harker said he began hitting in the batting cages in January and his hope is to get more runs batted in while hitting in the middle of the order. His goals for the team are to win the Olympic League, go far in districts and earn a spot at state. “We know our league is very challenging top to bottom,” Ditlefsen said. “We know we have to keep getting better everyday to compete for the league title.” Sequim opens its season with a Jamboree at noon, Saturday, March 21, hosting Enumclaw and Federal Way.

Student board representatives Ben Hughes (junior) and Kailee Price (senior) spent two days in Olympia along with superintendent Kelly Shea, school board vice president Heather Jeffers and school board director Michael Howe at a legislative conference. Held on March 1-2, the Legislative Conference/Day on the Hill afforded an opportunity for school board directors, superintendents and other district leaders to meet one-on-one with state lawmakers. Student board representatives attend all board meetings during the school year and report to the board on upcoming school events, in addition to other duties. Hughes and Price will be reporting their impressions of the conference during an upcoming board meeting. Pictured, from left, are Jeffers, Price, Hughes and Shea. Photo by Mike Howe

The beginning of learning To have your child ready for life, you need to begin in his earliest years. The skills your child learns in the first three years of life set the stage for future learning and successful adult lives. Research is showing that adults who have certain skills can find and keep jobs and earn their way out of poverty. Adolescents who have certain skills can make better decisions about their behaviors. Children with certain skills will be able to follow directions and focus, take turns and even regulate youthful impulses in preschool and school. Let’s just look at the skills needed by children and how we can help them. When I say “we,” I mean that literally. Active, involved, loving parents are a critical beginning to gain these skills. One mom told me a long time ago that she didn’t realize she was so important. She is. She is a key to the child gaining the skills to learn. Even grandparents, neighbors and older siblings play a great part in this learning. Even people who don’t have much contact with young children have a major role in how they support early learning and public schools. So how does this learning take place? It begins at the beginning. A baby’s brain develops as he interacts with his primary caregivers (usually parents). It begins when the child cries and the parent responds with care and concern. It begins when the child learns to depend on getting a response

and an appropriate one. When that doesn’t happen and the response from the parents is unreliable, inappropriate or just not there, the brain is disrupted and later learning and behavior and even health may be negatively impacted (“The Science of Neglect: The Persistent Absence of Responsive Care Disrupts the Developing Brain,” 2012). This positive response and interaction between children and their caregivers continues as they become toddlers and into the preschool years. Now, greater numbers of outsiders participate in being responsive to the young child. But all of these professionals and teachers help build the child’s positive brain development through reciprocal, responsive relationships. This means responding to the child in a positive way. So what does this all mean? This is just the beginning of helping to shape the child’s

brain but it is critical. Parents and other caregivers need to understand their importance or they can undermine the child’s early progress. Stress and trauma put the child at risk. Poverty can be a major factor. The depression of the mother during pregnancy and immediately after can hinder the child’s development. Other issues put huge stresses on a child. These are issues like abuse and/or neglect, adult substance abuse, domestic violence, a death or a primary caregiver going to jail. Each of these disrupt the child’s brain development and derail the learning that should be happening. When these kinds of experiences happen, they lead to health and mental health problems over a person‘s lifetime. These experiences cause delays in the child’s development. The more negative the experiences, the greater the risk the child will have these delays. But what does this have to do with the rest of us? We are all involved with one another. It happens as we reach out to help the unfortunate in our society. The more people who have problems, the more help that is expected from all of us. We all have a stake in all children’s health. We all

are impacted when children aren’t healthy or when they are unable to find jobs as they mature. When a child is not healthy because of what caregivers have not provided him, it really isn’t his fault. We have caused the bad outcome. Now we need to be involved in fixing it. It is totally clear that we will save effort, money and community resources if we can prevent problems rather than to fix them. In many ways, to fix problems early or to prevent problems is the more acceptable outcome. And most people are willing to help children and less willing to help them as they grow older. Reaching out to help parents understand their importance and their impact on the child they are raising may enable us to make great positive difference for our children. What does all this mean? Love, pay attention and treat your baby right. These first years are incredibly important.

HELEN HALLER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Helen Haller launched the Cougar Writers Conference by partnering with high school students to celebrate reading. Our classes were flooded with students eager to spend 30 minutes reading together. It was a most impressive sight! Thanks to the high school students for such a successful and enriching experience! The rest of the week will be packed with more reading and writing experiences. Highlights of the week will include an assembly with author Suzanne Selfors, a visit to the high school to watch Book-It Repertory Theatre present “Alice in Wonderland” and unique grade level writing sessions. The week will culminate with an all-school sharing session where kindergarten through fifth grade learning groups will share their favorite piece of writing from the enriching week of experiences. Sheri Suryan’s fifth-grade class has been studying about world explorers and the different reasons each explorer had for risking their lives to find the Northwest Passage to Asia.

This year was particularly exciting because there were 24 high school classes, bringing nearly 500 high school students to read with Haller students and providing many one-on-one reading experiences. A large helping of Green Eggs & Ham goes to Sequim High School teacher Jennifer Van De Wege and Student Leadership coordinator Quintan Johnson for putting the event together! SHS principal Shawn Langston would like to extend congratulations to Emily Carter for being officially recognized as a finalist in the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. She has received this extraordinary honor when she was named a semifinalist in the CARTER fall of 2014 with approximately 16,000 other students, but now has moved on to being recognized with nearly 8,000 finalists! “It’s a huge honor and we’re all very proud of Emily’s work,” Langston said.

Several students submitted two pieces of artwork and many of the drawings were judged by the Audubon Society if they are birdthemed. Please come by the show sometime this month and support our student artists. “They’re very talented and have done some beautiful work! I would like to acknowledge Sequim Arts for donating a beautiful Logan mat cutter to the high school. “In previous years, we were using a 25-year-old cutter and the bevel and straight edges of the mats were lacking in quality. This year the cutting was more streamlined and the artwork looked better for the show.” There will be SAT testing held at 7:45 a.m. Saturday, March 14, in the cafeteria. The Band Boosters will have a meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 17, in the board room.

‘Under the Sea’ and over the top! Be forewarned, what follows is pure bias. Objectivity will have no place at this table. I’m here to celebrate the most exhilarating theatrical experience I have had. Bar none. “The Little Mermaid Jr.,” a production staged by the Sequim Middle School Choral Department, opened with t h e s h o w ’s overture acGuest compa nying C olumn c a st credit s displayed on Greg Madsen a back projection screen. This allowed the audience to “cheer the players onto the field” and set a light tone for the evening. The magic began with the unveiling of principal characters. Maddy Dietzman — a sixthgrader and a “wee slip of a thing,” as my Scottish granny would say — stepped to center stage as Ariel and released a voice that filled the theater, a voice that carried that pitch-perfect strength for the next two hours. Thomas Hughes, a mature and forceful voice as Prince Eric, comfortably summoned a mature and forceful voice, comfortably mov-

ing over the full emotional range required of a romantic lead. Tommy Hall’s Sebastian captured the vigor required in his role while making the most of his extraordinary costume — absolutely the most expressive use of claws I have seen. Zachary Ballantyne and Tanner Robins — Flounder and Scuttle — were both confident within their characters and blended sharp comic timing into their singing. Damon Little as Grimsby, Anthony Cortani as Chef Louis and Payton Storm’s Carlotta, Melissa Porter and Ryan Porter as Flotsam and Jetsam all took on their roles with the comic relish of junior Saturday Night Live players. Damien Cundiff’s sage King Triton and Devin Anderson’s sprightly Pilot captured their characters in both movement and voice in their pivotal scenes. When Brittany Rives took the stage as the deliciously evil Ursula, there wasn’t an eye in the house that wasn’t riveted on her. She took command of this character, using her near operatic delivery to frame Ursula’s sweet deviousness.

Sponsored by caring pet lovers. SOPHIE & ALEXANDER are new arrivals. They are pretty scared and timid right now... Their world has just been dramatically turned around after both of their owners died. We believe they are used to being outside; probably need to be the only pets... We are still learning about their personalities, and will update more info as we get to know them. MYRA is a SWEETHEART, but does have her issues. Myra is great with people, but does NOT like other dogs or cats! She MUST be an ONLY pet and have a very well-FENCED yard. Even with her older age, and her missing a limb, Myra WILL chew through a rope and/or climb a fence. It is recommended she be kenneled in the house when left alone. She has been returned once for doing damage to the interior of the house. Myra is a challenge, but she’ll be a great dog!

LuLu does pull pretty hard on her leash, but that’s just because she is so excited to get down into the play yard where she can run and run and run!!!
