“As we look to continually deepen our impact, meet the ever-changing needs of our communities and align ourselves with like-minded organizations,” Kyle Cronk, chief executive officer, Olympic Peninsula YMCA, said in a press release, gathering the proper data from our target market is essential.”

Eric Lewis, chief executive officer for OMC, added, “The field of medicine continues to work toward wellness, prevention and chronic disease management. YMCAs across the country, and right here on the peninsula, are recognized leaders in health and well-being. Collaborating with organizations such as the (YMCA) and SARC is a

natural fit.”

Those who do not receive a call during the calling period and want to provide feedback may share opinions online at surveys.strategicresearch. net/cgi-bin/sequim.htm.

After collecting the survey data, the collaborating groups will see if a project is sustainable. If so, YMCA officials will present SARC’s board of commissioners with a proposal to operate the facility later this year, Cronk said.

Farms participating in this year’s 19th annual Clallam County Farm Tour were bustling with visitors on Oct. 3. The sun-filled Saturday gave way for a successful event with 2,000 people exploring one or more of the seven stops along the tour.

“It was a huge success,” Tom Sanford, North Olympic Land Trust executive director, said.

“This was our largest tour ever.”

The annual event, co-sponsored by the Washington State University Clallam County Extension and the North Olympic Land Trust, is intended to highlight the diversity and value of local farms and connect the community with both the area’s farmers and agricultural heritage.

“The fire department isn’t about one person. It’s about being part of the team,” he said.

Moeder started in 1980 after being hired through a government training program and eventually was hired as a career firefighter permanently in January 1982.

Vogel said he appreciated Moeder’s opinions and working with him through their years together.

His wife Linda said, “the fire department was the best thing that ever happened to him.”

Prior to serving in the fire department, Moeder drove delivery trucks in Southern California.

Moeder said his wife was the best thing to happen to him and that he met her through a mutual interest in hang gliding. He stopped hang gliding after 23 years.

The couple resides in Dungeness and plans to stay local but travel in their

fifth-wheel. Moeder plans to continue fishing, hunting, crabbing, shrimping and he’s been saving home projects to do, he said.

His son Tanner Wilson and his wife Rachel were there for the ceremony. He also has two daughters, three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren who were unable to attend.

Moeder retired as an assistant chief of fire prevention and as fire marshal.

His successor is going to be announced in the coming weeks and the position will be renamed assistant chief of risk reduction and planning, Fire Chief Ben Andrews said.

14th-annual Crabfest slated for Oct. 9-11 Sequim Gazette staff

Each October foodies and funseekers from across the United States, British Columbia and beyond descend upon the scenic Olympic Peninsula to partake in a grand celebration of the coveted crustacean that derives its name from the town where it was first commercially harvested back in 1848 — Dungeness.

The 14th annual Dungeness Crab & Seafood Festival will take place Friday-Sunday, Oct. 9-11, at the Port Angeles City Pier. Hours are Friday, noon-10 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m.-10 p.m.; and Sunday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Admission is free.

Thousands of pounds of Dungeness crab are pulled from local waters each year, enabling festival-goers to savor the freshest crab available while also enjoying a wide variety of locally grown and produced foods. The 9,000-square-foot Kitsap Bank Crab Central Tent will house an old-fashioned crab-feed complete with large whole crabs, fresh corn and coleslaw. At Crab Central and throughout the grounds, 15 local and regional restaurants will serve-up everything from crab cakes to gumbo and much more.

Non-seafood and vegetarian dishes will be available, as well.

Active members of the military and their spouses can enjoy a full, fresh crab dinner at the discounted price of $25 throughout

Project

Winborn said. Although this project has been on county parks officials’ minds for about the past three years, other pressing projects, funding and the permitting process kept it from being addressed until now.

During the early spring county parks officials use the pilings to secure boarding floats (docks) for the public to safely and efficiently launch and retrieve boats, and load and unload boaters.

The boarding floats are removed and stored every winter to ensure protection from winter storms.

From page A-1

members are scheduled to work in accordance with the tides at the park and its surrounding tideland along outer Dungeness Bay. After taking about two days to assemble the crane delivered to the project site on Tuesday, the crew has until Wednesday, Oct. 14, to complete the speedy project because of time limitation associated with fish windows.

Six of the eight pilings targeted for replacement have deteriorated to the Reach Alana Linderoth at point that they’re no longer there, alinderoth@sequimgazette.com.

City Council Reviews 2016 Proposed Budget City Manager Charlie Bush presented the proposed 2016 budget to the City Council at the September 28, 2015 meeting.

The budget is the proposed financial plan for the upcoming calendar year and is focused on the maintenance of current service levels within the constraints of City resources. The proposed budget reflects balanced revenues and expenses in the General Fund and the normalizing of resources, operations, and related expenses with the completion of the Civic Center.

Debt service on the bonds financing the Civic Center continue for the second year, but without the burden of rent.

2016 will also see the pay-off of the Keeler Park debt. Improvement in economic activity is also conservatively reflected in the budget. These additional resources will be utilized to improve support for street operations, equipment and replacement reserves, and to fund debt services and centralized General Fund services to a greater degree.

Water Utility rates have been adjusted up 3% and Sewer Utility rates have been adjusted up 2.5% to meet the increase in revenue of 4% recommended in the 2013 rate study. For a household using 1,000 cubic feet of water per month, their sewer bill will increase $1.72 per month and their water bill will increase by $1.12 per month for a total of $2.84.

The study indicates the annual adjustment is important to maintain the financial health of the utility operations as well as to meet the current and future debt levels and to maintain target reserves. The proposed budget includes the continuation of the low income discount policy which reduces utility bills for those who qualify. The budget also proposes the 1% property tax increase allowed by law.

Opposite are charts that display where the City’s General Fund revenue comes from and how the monies are distributed through City departments.

The City Council will continue to review the budget through November and citizens are encouraged to attend those sessions. To review the proposed budget online, visit www.sequimwa.gov.

Sequim residents can meet informally with Sequim Mayor Candace Pratt on Thursday, October 15 at 8:30 a.m. at the Fifth Avenue, 500 W. Hendrickson.

Mayor Pratt will be at a different published location each month to meet with anyone who wants to chat, ask questions, express a concern, or make a comment about the City or the community. Please contact Candace Pratt at (360) 582-0114 or cpratt@sequimwa. gov with questions.

Sequim 120 Planning Process Takes its Final Step…

Over the past four years, more than 700 Sequim area citizens shaped a new proposed Comprehensive Plan to guide city growth and development. The next step is a City Council public hearing and adoption. You can read the proposed 2015-2035 Sequim Comprehensive Plan by pasting this link (http://wa-sequim.civicplus.com/ index.aspx?NID=565) to your browser or finding the link on the City’s web site home page (look for the city map in the right-side column). The Comprehensive Plan is the basis for all city regulations that control the amount and character of development and for all major spending on roads, parks, and other city facilities. The proposed Plan document is easy to read, very informative and covers almost everything that matters in Sequim’s future, from improving economic diversity to expanding lifestyle choices for all generations.

Your comments on these directions are invited at the Council hearing beginning October 12, 6PM, in the Council Chambers.

Highlights of the Proposed Plan Include:

Create friendly, single-family neighborhoods ...instead of a place to store cars. with a variety of housing designed for people...

Avoid isolated subdivisions and better connect them with a traditional street grid for walking, bicycling, and driving.

Stout said several pilots are interested in hosting a Dream Catcher balloon in their state as well — part of her vision for a nationwide program.

Before coming back to Sequim, they’ll give flights on Oct. 17 in Leavenworth for disabled veterans and others.

Stout said after the ballon was featured on a few TV stations she’s been receiving several calls and “people from all

Once in Sequim, the program will appear at the Pumpkin Patch all day on Oct. 25 to raise awareness and donations.

One Sequim balloon’s buzz is soaring across the country.

Captain Crystal Stout, executive director of the Chrysalis 501(c)3 foundation and the Dream Catcher Balloon Program, is traveling with a crew across the Southwest U.S., helping a variety of people reach the sky who otherwise might not be able to.

In late September, Stout and crew members test flew the custom balloon at Sequim Valley Airport. The balloon offers a chariot instead of a gondola so that the pilot and passenger can slide on rather than climb. The intent is to make the experience available to people in wheelchairs and those who are physically and mentally challenged.

Stout and Casey Dennis, a crew member, designed the balloon together and worked on funding the project for more than three years.

Compared to other hot air balloons, Stout’s is much lighter at about 230 pounds for the burner system, the balloon fabric and chariot. It’s fully mobile and easy to travel with and set up to events, Stout said.

So far the group has traveled to events in Bonney Lake, Boulder, Colo., and Albuquerque, N.M. — Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.

Stout said they appeared at an Albuquerque school for the deaf on Oct. 2, giving rides, too.

“Our experience here so far has been amazing,” she said. “Pilots from around the world have been stopping to thank

County administrator: 2016 budget appears ‘flat’ Local economy continues slow road to recovery

by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

The word that best describes the 2016 preliminary budget is “flat.”

Anticipating $32,546,088 in revenues within the coming year, coupled with the General Fund Reserves of $12,187,311, the total funds available in the General Fund is $44,731,399 — or about a 0.6 percent increase than last year’s budget.

“Basically it’s a flat budget,” Jim Jones, Clallam County administrator, told the few people attending the public meeting in Sequim on Oct. 1 where he, county com-

missioners Jim McEntire and Bill Peach and county engineer Ross Tyler, presented the 2016 preliminary budget.

The upcoming budget is likely to remain “flat,” Jones said, because of the “expected continuation of the local economic recovery first noted in the 2015 Mid Year Review.”

Consistent with their plans, Jones calculated the preliminary budget assuming a full year with the 0.2 percent reduction in sales tax in the unincorporated portions of the county and the lack of the available 1 percent in the county portion property tax.

Given an expected $33,740,055 in budgeted expenditures, Jones forecasts using about $1.2 million of reserves to balance the budget.

The use of reserves still leaves about $2.05 million of “excess

Bush said the budget is balanced and will put money into several new capital projects such as $800,000 for streets, $226,000 for parks, $1.6 million for water, $1.7 million for sewer and $263,000 for facilities.

The 2015 budget worth $37.9 million saw many departments reduce costs.

Part of the 2016 proposed budget includes a 3 percent increase for water and 2.5 percent increase in utilities following a Water and Sewer systems study from 20132014 that proposes annual rate increases to pay for deteriorating infrastructure.

Administrative Services Director Sue Hagener said the increases equate to about $1.12 in water for those who use 1,000 cubic feet of water and a $1.72 increase for sewer users per month.

HAGENER For larger units, like strip malls, she said they are considering eliminating per unit charges and going toward charges based on meter size.

Hagener said they propose to continue the utilities lowincome discount, which 40 households use.

Along with the utilities, city staff proposed approving the 1-percent tax levy. Last year, city councilors approved the increase that they estimated would generate about $13,000 this year.

As for city staffing, they’ve planned for 75.54 full-time staff in 2016 at about $7.6 million for salary and benefits.

The previous three years it was at 76.29 full-time staff.

Staff make up 48.4 percent of the total budget.

Bush, in his budget message, said salaries and benefits for police sergeants and police officer still are being negotiated. There also is a planned 1 percent salary increase for non-union employees like Bush and other department heads.

He said they continue to

Jones to make a final draft budget recommendation to the commissioners on Tuesday, Nov. 10.

Combining both the General Fund budget and all other funds, given the beginning balance of $50.2 million, county officials expect about $79.7 million in revenue and about $88.4 million in expenditures, leaving an estimated ending balance of $41.5 million.

However, Jones notes that the most recent expenditure requests from department heads in 2016 in other funds totaling more than $4 million have yet to be included in the preliminary budget.

At 10:30 a.m, Tuesday, Dec. 1, at the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St., a public hearing is scheduled on the final budget, for final adoption by the Board of Clallam County Commissioners on Tuesday, Dec. 8.

to go down and thus offset the increased expenditures.

However, more expenditures are likely to accompany the recommended budget as there are department “asks” that need to be taken into account, Jones said.

Already, Jones and the county budget director Debi Cook have met with each department head and received funding requests for consideration in the recommended budget developed by Jones.

Following the recommended budget, there’s a second round of meetings with department heads “basically get to take a second bite at the apple and ask for more than I am recommending,” Jones said.

Throughout the remainder of October and beginning of November, the county commissioners, Jones and Cook will meet with each department in preparation for

Clallam County is redirecting its contract for providing overnight emergency shelter through April 2016, to Serenity House.

Operation beyond that date will require continued funding from the county and/ or other sources.

The 2016 preliminary budget reflects the costs associated with staffing adjustments made in 2015, such as the addition of one half-time and three full-time employees and transition of all fulltime employees back to a 40-hour work week.

“Since 2012 we’ve been maintaining,” Jones said. “This is the first year the commissioners have allowed an add of staff.”

The budget also includes a 1 percent Cost of Living Adjustment on both Jan. 1 and July 1.

Despite the combined salary and benefit increases, the total General Fund expenditures are only expected to increase by 1.58 percent ($526,308) because contracted services and supplies are projected

Local speech pathologist completes training course Olympic Medical Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation’s Jennifer Weicher, MA, CCC-SLP, recently completed an advanced training course in head and neck lymphedema t herapy t hrough t he Norton School of Lymphatic Therapy.

Weicher, a speech langua ge pat hologist, has been with Olympic Medical since July 2006. She works with WEICHER patients requiring speech therapy for Parkinson’s disease, augmentative and alternative communication, dysphagia management, stroke reha bilit at ion and now head and neck lymphedema.

Lymphedema — also c alled lymphatic obstruction — is swelling that generally occurs in a person’s arms or legs, but also can occur in other areas of the body, including the neck. It is most commonly caused by the removal of or damage to a person’s lymph nodes as part of cancer treatment.

This can lead to a blockage in the lymphatic system, which prevents lymph fluid from draining well. The resulting fluid buildup leads to swelling.

Weicher’s expertise further complement s the lymphedema therapy offered by physical therapist Karen Rushby, who works in the Olympic Medical Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Port Angeles clinic.

Weicher treats adult and pediatric patients.

Roy “Rick” J. Hamilton, Sr. October 4, 1934 - September 12, 2015

Roy “Rick” J. Hamilton, Sr., an 80 year old resident of Sequim, Washington passed away in Port Angeles on September 12, 2015 due to natural causes.

Rick was born to Franklin George Hamilton and Ruth Kathryn McKenzie Hamilton on October 4, 1934 in Urbana, New York.

He married Darlene Hamilton on July 21, 1956 in Tacoma, Washington.

He served his country in the U.S. Air Force for 15 years as a Technical Sergeant and in the U.S. Navy for 5 years and after retirement went on to open and operate his own appliance repair business, Rick’s Appliance, for an additional 15 years.

Mr. Hamilton was a past commander of the Veterans of Foriegn Wars Post 4760 and an avid outdoorsman. He loved to hunt, especially loved to fish, and enjoyed farming, gardening and working with wood.

He is survived by his wife Darlene Hamilton of Sequim; sons Steven J. (Cathy) Hamilton of Fountain, Colorado, Jeffrey L. (Kathi) Hamilton of Tacoma, Washington and Brian S. (Tatjana) Hamilton of Dubai; sister Hazel Sutton of Campbell, New York; brothers Franklin G. Hamilton, Jr. of New Ipsurch New Hampshire and Bill Hamilton of Enosburg Falls, Vermont; numerous grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.

Edward “Neil” Bryant Sr. February 10, 1937 – September 7, 2015

Edward “Neil” Bryant Sr., age 78, passed away on September 27, 2015, at Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles, Washington, surrounded by loving family.

Neil was born on February 10, 1937, to Elida Ruth (Bekkevar) and Edward McNalley Bryant.

Neil grew up with and is survived by his siblings Mike Bryant of Coos Bay, Oregon, Gary Bryant of Redmond, Oregon, Danny Smith of Sequim, Washington, Susan Lester of Arlington, Washington, and Bonita Jarvis of Shepard, Montana.

Throughout his childhood, Neil worked on the family farm in Carlsborg with his stepfather, Lloyd R. Smith.

After graduating from Sequim High School in 1955, Neil married Patricia Kirk. They moved to Kalama, Washington, where they raised five children: Peggy Johnson of Kalama, Ed Bryant of Chehalis, Jim Bryant of Glenoma, Tom Bryant of Ryderwood, and Pam Richardson of Arlington, Washinton.

In later years, Neil was thrilled to be united with his son Mike Paul of Graham.

Neil is survived by 17 grandchildren and 29 great grandchildren.

Neil joined the Army, serving from 1963 through 1965.

Neil’s greatest joy was spending time with his family, especially if there was an outdoor project he could help with. Neil often returned to the family farm in Carlsborg, working with Danny, living there many years before his recent death. Neil also worked with his son, Ed, in the logging industry.

Neil was a gifted mechanic and skilled heavy machine operator, driving dump truck until the day before his passing. He was an avid reader. Interested in diverse subjects, he enjoyed learning, as well as sharing his wealth of information. Most often, Neil would speak in a soft spoken manner, but on subjects of politics or the government in general, he could get a bit more excited!

Neil knew how to work hard and how to play hard.

A humble man, Neil was surprised and pleased to be chosen as ‘Honorary Logger’ for the 28th Annual Sequim Log Show in 2015.

Father, grandfather, brother, friend... Neil will be remembered for his kind heart, and will be missed immensely.

A celebration of Neil’s life was held Saturday, October 3, 2015, at 11A.M. at the Veteran’s of Foreign Wars at 169 E. Washington St, Sequim, WA.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Stoffer the pick for school board I endorse Jim Stoffer for the Sequim School Board.

Our family has known the Stoffer family since 2003, when we first moved here. At that time, Jim was the skipper of our local USCG Cutter, the Cuttyhunk. I won’t detail his many military credits (beginning as an enlisted kid out of high school, he was regularly selected for honors … promoted first to Warrant Officer and culminating with Commission Officer status) but I recall one instance that represents, I think, his character.

Jim was asked to serve for a year or so in Bahrain. My wife and I had the privilege to help in small ways with his family locally while he served overseas. Certainly he could have chosen to remain stateside (he was near the end of a distinguished 30-year career), but I recall him telling me that serving at this duty station was “the right thing to do.”

If I finish this note on time, and it is printed in the next edition of this paper, then Jim, as you read this, is serving as a chaperone for our school children, in Japan. I mentioned to him last week that perhaps he might better spend time focusing on his election and his response was in line with his patriotic thinking: “This is important … this is the right thing to do.”

However, Jim possesses characteristics I have rarely seen in one individual: 1. Patience, tolerance and remarkable empathy; 2. Love for children and a passion for the school system; 3. Time, desire and availability to serve; 4. Comprehensive knowledge of the school system as well as the dynamic challenges to our K-12th grade children.

Jim has an exemplary moral compass, a knowledge base (of our school system) and a passion to serve both our educators and children that is exemplary and evident after even a brief interaction. Jim is a leader with vision and a dedicated volunteer (try to find some Sequim School activities for which he has not volunteered his time and talents!).

Do not miss this opportunity to strengthen the Sequim School Board.

Gem of an eatery The Emerald Northwest Grill and & Public House is a new restaurant in town. It has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, with excellent food and service. It is nice to have another good restaurant town, a gem, appropriately named The Emerald. I highly recommend.

Roger Briggs Sequim

Watch where you park A major conflict has arisen in downtown Sequim. The new restaurant The Emerald Northwest Grill and Public House faces the alley between Second and Sequim avenues.

Their parking, though legal, is very limited.

The owner of The Emerald was made aware, prior to opening, that my lot was not a public parking lot. But due to the recent article in the Sequim Gazette, people have been parking illegally in my private parking lot. Not withstanding that the Gazette retracted the portion of the article related to the parking, people have either not seen or ignored this retraction. This in turn has jeopardized my tenants’ livelihood.

We want to be good neighbors, but, if forced to, will have trespassing vehicles towed at owners’ expense.

Luke Jacobsen on the descent from Mount Whitney at mile 767 of his 2,658-mile solo hike on the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. Submitted photo

After a long pause, three words came to Luke Jacobsen’s mind while reflecting on his solo trek on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT): “Phenomenal, hard and awesome.”

But, when Luke said “awesome” he took a moment to explain that he truly meant every bit of the word – as in breathtaking, imposing and awe-inspiring.

From 7:08 a.m., Wednesday, April 22, to 12:47 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 15, Luke spent a total of 147 nights on the PCT, an infamous trail that spans between the U.S./Mexico and Canada borders.

Completing the trail, Luke walked 2,658 miles.

Along the trail Luke met numerous hikers, built relationships, suffered and healed from countless blisters, saw five black bears and encountered multiple rattlesnakes, hiked in 100-degree temperatures to areas with 3 feet of snow, turned 18 and was nearly brought to tears by the sheer beauty of nature.

Luke’s passion for wilderness began at his home just east of Sequim in Diamond Point.

As a child, going on local hikes with his parents ignited his interest in nature, hiking and solitude. But it was really his three older siblings and their own appreciation for it that instilled in him a deep love for hiking.

Having grown up near Sequim, Luke has a special place in his heart for the Olympic

Mountains with their “off the grid” presence, he said. Even after hiking through some of the most sought after and famous mountain ranges, the Olympics remain the most “wild and special” to him.

In hopes of inspiring others to get and enjoy the outdoors, here Luke shares a few snippets from his recent backpacking adventure.

“I love to backpack, I just graduated high school and wanted to get off the peninsula and experience some new scenery, so I thought it would be really fun to go hike 2,658 miles.

I started planning during Christmas break. I was going to school at Peninsula College so the whole bus ride there and back I would be planning the trip and each resupply point. It took a lot of time to figure how I was going to do it. There was a lot of logistical planning.

As soon as school ended, I had a week to get all my gear together and get packed up.

My dad and I flew down to LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) and then rented a car and drove down to Campo, Calif., a little town right before the southern terminus.

It can be really hot down there in April, but I lucked out and it was only in the 60s.

See VERBATIM, A-17

Keeping an eye on water, a key peninsula resource “Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink.”

Do you remember these lines from your school days? They’re from the famous poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

These lines came to mind as I was writing this first column about Water Matters.

Certainly here on the Olympic Peninsula we are surrounded by water: the Pacific Ocean, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Puget Sound and Hood Canal. Since we obviously don’t get drinking water from this source (unless we were to have desalination plants), where do we get our drinking water from and do we have enough?

These are the kinds of questions more and more people around the world are asking.

I have lived many places, on land and at sea, where water has been and is a major concern. My husband and I lived full time aboard two different sailboats on the East Coast, neither of which had water makers so we know how precious

Citizenship should have responsibilities One week after I graduated from high school, I got a letter requiring me to sign up for the draft. I, my two brothers and my sister’s husband were soon in the military service.

I see on TV a lot of the immigrant men are between 18 and 40 years old. I think all able-bodied immigrant men should get some military training and be sent back to fight for their own country, while we take care of their wives and children.

I hope all the immigrant men are required to do the above before they are permitted to enter our country and agree to leave our country after the fighting is over.

Water Matters Jane Iddings water is. We lived on our first boat, a monohull, for three years in Key West in the Florida Keys during the winters, and on Cape Cod Bay and the Chesapeake Bay during the summers.

Our second boat was a catamaran that we lived aboard while cruising from Maine to Florida.

On land we have lived through serious drought years in Florida, Arizona, California, Hawaii and now Washington.

Whether it was on land or at sea, water has been a major interest for me. Not as an expert though, as I am no water expert. Instead I am a curious, interested citizen that likes

to rummage around water issues because I know — we all know — that we must have water to live.

A year ago my husband and I moved to Sequim with its cool, fresh air, healthy organic farms, awe-inspiring lavender fields, magnificent Olympic Mountains, polite children, friendly retirees, a good variety of commercial outlets, community-supported cultural programs, peace and quiet. We loved the “Blue Hole” that would give us “Sunny Sequim” days.

However, we also knew that Sequim is a prairie that — but for irrigation — would still be a prairie.

Last winter we were dazzled by the snow on the Olympics. What beauty!

But it was a passing beauty as the snowpack registered at zero and quickly melted, leaving irrigators and fish behind.

With no snowpack, my attention turned to other water resources: the aquifers (groundwater), reclaimed water and stormwater. I started writing informally about these issues in my blog: “Sequim’s Water” at www. sequimswater.com.

As a former columnist with the

Arizona Daily Sun, northern Arizona’s largest paper, I proposed this column about water to the Sequim Gazette. In this column I will poke around water issues that may be critical to this area.

A real wild card is Mother Nature. If it snows this winter — and the forecast is not encouraging — giving us a robust snowpack, we’ll all be filled with relief and gratitude. But even if we have plenty of snow, we’ll still need to look ahead to what a warmer planet is going to bring us: even less snow.

Then what? I believe we’ll all want to participate in answering this question as we meet in our homes, schools, businesses, churches, neighborhoods and in our civic and governmental groups. Please join the discussion.

Trail angels “Trail angels are just people that

out of the goodness of their heart help hikers.

Our (mine and fellow hikers’) first trail angels were this couple that were reading that book ‘Wild’ so when they saw us, they popped out of their camper and asked if we were PCT hikers. They were really nice and fed us dinner and breakfast.

Hiking the PCT, you kind of realize how many nice people there are out there. People can get kind of depressed about society, but you hike this trail and you see that there’s still a lot of people out there that aren’t selfish and just want to help other people out.

The first real trail angel establishment was Ziggy and The Bear’s. They run a rest stop just for hikers from a house they bought because it was right next to the PCT. There, they have showers, food, places to wash your clothes, you can sleep and send packages there.

I don’t know why, but people along the PCT just want to help hikers out.”

First 700 miles and the Sierras “ The Whitewater Preserve was

probably the most remote place I felt.

It was kind of surprising that I felt the most remote in southern California …

There was nothing out there.

Getting up into Tehachapi, it was getting into the 100s. Temperatures were just really hot, but the sunrises in the desert were unreal.

At the start of the Mojave Desert you could see so far that you could watch the rain travel across the horizon. It was simply beautiful, but also very monotonous at times.

Because the stretches between water sources are between 16 and 20 miles, at a typical spring there’s usually just a bunch of hikers chilling out and getting water.

There are ‘water catches’ — places where up in the middle of nowhere people pack chairs and gallons of water for hikers, but you don’t want to bet on anything being there. Still, it’s nice to stop and sometimes have some extra water and maybe fill a liter.

Overall, the first 700 miles to Kennedy Meadows, which is behind the

At left, Luke Jacobsen at mile zero of the Pacific Crest Trail at its southern terminus, marking the U.S./Mexico border. At right, Jacobsen just 8 miles from completing a nearly five-month solo backpacking trip at mile 2,650 of the Pacific Crest Trail at its northern terminus, marking the U.S.-Canada border. Submitted photos

Sierras, I didn’t have one pain-free mile.

Mile 702 is Kennedy Meadows and the biggest stoping point. If you make there, it’s like the gateway to the Sierras — you just made it though the desert and probably the toughest part of the trail and you’re about to go into the Sierras which everyone looks forward to.

During the first part of this trail you go all the way up to about 11,000 feet. My feet were getting worse — just nothing but blisters. Every mile something was hurting me. Either my feet were hurting or my muscles were hurting, but I still had a really great time.

Entering the Sierras you reach the highest point on the trail, Forester Pass at 13,200 feet and it was pretty unreal.

The trail is just blasted out of the cliff face and was probably the single most pretty spot on the whole trail. I don’t usually cry, but I started tearing up because it was so gorgeous.

Muir Pass was amazing and though I’ve never been there, Evolution Valley was like Iceland to me.

Silver Pass was the last high pass before Yosemite.

We (me and a couple of befriended thru-hikers) climbed Half Dome. We started at about 3:45 a.m., so we could get the sunrise up there.

Half Dome was beautiful, but I think views from Clouds Rest were even better.

In the northern Sierras I had to wear a bug net because the mosquitoes were so thick. I’ve never experienced anything like it. The northern Sierras aren’t as dramatic, but still beautiful.”

Goodbye Cali, hello Oregon and Washington “For me, the hardest part of the trip

was hiking through northern California because it was pretty monotonous. You would go days seeing the same thing and then you come upon jewels like Burney Falls … things like that would keep you going.

The halfway marker was the most depressing point in the trail because you feel like you’ve been out there forever, yet you’re only half way. I just got a picture and walked on.

Unlike the halfway point, the California-Oregon border was a very happy moment.

California lasts for 1,698 miles so it’s the majority of the trip so once you’re out of California it’s like you’re almost there.

By the time I got to Oregon I was doing 25-30 miles a day. I started out doing

17 miles a day.

Oregon was nice because you could see where you were going. It made for pretty easy hiking.

The Cascade Locks mark the OregonWashington border … This was also a great day.

My family met me at White Pass. It was the first time I’d seen my mom the whole trip.

From there to Snoqualmie Pass I hiked in rain for two weeks straight.

In those conditions, you just try to keep your sleeping bag dry and I had sleeping clothes in my sleeping bag, but everything else would get sopping wet. The worst part was getting up and putting on wet clothing in the morning.

From Snoqualmie Pass to Stevens Pass it was more of the same. When the clouds would open up, the view were unreal.

Finally by the time I got Stevens Pass (after taking a couple days off because of a fire closure) the weather had cleared up.”

The end “The PCT gave me a good last day.

It snowed and there was just a dusting of snow on the trail.

I had been on the trail so long that I was so ready to be done — mostly just because I wasn’t feeling very well because I had gotten food poisoning at one of the last stops.

By the time you’re three months into, it just becomes what you do.

You forget about normal life. There’s a culture with thru-hiking. It’s hard to explain, but it’s a very friendly and unselfish culture.

It’s all psychological. Anybody can hike it. It’s just walking and you’ll get in shape as you walk.

The way I had to do it was when I stood at the border of Mexico, I just couldn’t think about Canada and how far away it was.

When you’re on the trail you only think about your next stop.”

The first part of the trip had the most challenges … the first blisters forming and the worst night on the trail happened in the first week. That night there were 65 mile per hour gusts of wind and pouring down rain.

I didn’t get any sleep that night, my tent blew over a couple times, everything got soaking wet … It wasn’t what you would expect in southern California.”

This is why Robin Henrikson should be in the School Board District I. One reason is she has had lots of experience, she has three kids and two of them (Kinzley and Bjorn) go to Greywolf Elementary and the other one (Emmelia) goes to Faith Lutheran preschool.

The reason Robin has lots of experience is because she helps out with a lot of things at Greywolf. Although we have never gone to family movie night, we almost always do fundraisers.

Another reason is because she will try her very best to get the bond to not fail and get the kindergarteners in the portables at Greywolf a new classroom and get them a new playground, and help out Hellen Haller Elementary.

Robin is friends with Heather Short and Jim Stoffer. They would be great on the board, too.

Robin also would be great on the board because she is a good helper and knows that there always will be problems — it’s about how they deal with them that matters.

She is trying so hard to win by signs, big signs and hot air balloons and much more. When she used a hot air balloon two of her kids had a great time for their first time up there.

Why my mom should be on school board

The Sequim School District is faced with numerous challenges. Energetic, dedicated leadership will be required to deal with these issues, including the building of new facilities and repair of others. Among the key players are members of the district board, candidates for which currently are seeking election.

Among the candidates is Jim Stoffer, who happens to be a neighbor of mine. I met him just as he was retiring from 31 years of service in the U.S. Coast Guard, where he had advanced through the ranks to become a warrant officer. Along the way he learned teamwork, discipline and leadership — all valuable qualities for the civilian world as well as the military.

The moment he retired, Jim became involved in community service — in the school district, in his church and in his neighborhood.

While his daughter was in high school, Jim worked tirelessly to raise funds to send the Sequim choir to sing at Carnegie Hall. His daughter graduated and he could have focused elsewhere. But the school bond issue came up and Jim worked hard for the bond drive — all three times.

He also was active in the Trinity United Methodist Church, and whenever I’d attend an event, there stood Jim as fire marshal making sure the activity ran safely. Next he sought election to the Sun Meadows HOA board. Now he’s the president.

I believe Jim Stoffer is a dedicated civil servant, understands the school district challenges and will make an energetic member of the board.

Local film on Elwha River honored at national wildlife summit As salmon return to the Elwha valley this fall, “Return of the River,” a feature documentary about Elwha River restoration, is receiving recognition on the national stage.

Last week the film won two awards at the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival, a summit and celebration of wildlife and conservation media. The film was recognized for conservation impact and received the Marian Zunz award for emerging filmmakers.

Co-directed by Olympic Peninsula residents John Gussman and Jessica Plumb (pictured above, at the festival), “Return of the River” was among almost 1,000 submissions to this prestigious event and also was one of three finalists for best writing in wildlife film.

At the award ceremony, Plumb said, “It may years to make a film, but it took decades to free a river; this award belongs to all who worked to restore the Elwha River.”

The film will have a New York premiere on Oct. 22 at the New York Wildlife Conservation Festival. Learn more about “Return of the River” at www.elwhafilm.com.

The Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office presented Clallam County recently with its Bravo Award for its project to reconstruct the historical Spruce Railroad as a trail on the north shore of Lake Crescent.

The county’s project was the top-ranked project in the trails category of the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program.

“This project is a great example of what the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program aims to accomplish,” Kaleen Cottingham, director of the Recreation and Conservation Office, said. Cottingham’s office administers the statewide grant program. Using a $460,000 grant along with an equal contribution in local funding and donations, Clallam County will reconstruct a half-mile of trail, restore a 96-year-old tunnel and expand a trailhead, both preserving a part of Washington’s history and creating places for new generations to recreate, Cottingham said.

In 1918, the U.S. Army built 36 miles of railroad west of Port Angeles, including two railroad tunnels that were used to deliver spruce for World War I airplanes. The McFee Tunnel was closed by blasting in the 1960s.

The blocked tunnel, steep trail, rocky and muddy trail surfaces and poor drainage prevent people using wheelchairs and touring bicyclists from using the trail. Bicyclists are forced to take a dangerous route on U.S. Highway 101 on the south side of the lake.

The county, with cooperation of Olympic National Park staff, will restore the McFee tunnel and trail so it can be used by hikers, bicyclists and equestrians. The work will create a non-motorized trail separated from car traffic on the north shore of Lake Crescent that will connect to 60 miles of trail east of the project site and 20 miles west of the site.

recycling copmany in Tacoma, Kovalenko said. If not Pioneer, “it goes to whoever can take our material,” he added.

While many countries are just now constructing mills and the infrastructure to manufacture, Kovalenko said, very few mills are being built in the U.S; thus, many commodities (recyclable metal, plastics and glass) are sold internationally.

Helen Freilich, waste reduction specialist for the City of Port Angeles and Clallam County, estimates about 50 percent of the area’s recycling is exported to Asia. But, consistent with the ever-changing industry of recycling, she also noted the percentage of exported material easily can change depending on the market.

“China, for example, used to take anything, but now they’re getting more picky,” Freilich said. “Sometimes we get stuff sent back that we don’t know what to do with, so we really need to come up with more local uses.”

Perhaps, supporting this market trend with China, Kovalenco explained how a few years ago China began integrating its own curbside garbage and recycling services and therefore doesn’t rely so heavily on the U.S. for recycled material. However, India is becoming a “major player” in the global market, he said, as “we’re starting to see ‘Made in India’ on a lot more products.”

Locally, on the Olympic Peninsula, there are two companies, Nippon Paper Industries in Port Angeles and the Port Townsend Paper mill that create recycled products, Kovalenko said.

Costs and transformations

Because like most industries, recycling is a global one and therefore impacted by the economy, Kovalenko hasn’t seen a “good commodity” since about 2008.

“Right now, prices are low,” he said.

Yet, despite the low prices for recyclable material, the costs associated with collecting and transporting recycling within a more rural area remains, Freilich said.

Although allowing for recyclables (except for glass) to be placed in a single container greatly increased the amount of customer participation because of its convenience, as well as increased the overall safety of the truck drivers, “it’s not perfect,” she said.

“There are more sorting costs involved and more contamination,” she said.

The concept of charging people to recycle things also is a mental transition as the industry itself continues to develop.

“Recycling, especially on the West Coast is relatively new,” Kovalenko said.

A reflection of how quickly recycling habits have changed, Mike Brandt, City of Sequim operations manager, admits seeing a “total turnaround” both publicly and within the city since he began working for the city 20 years ago.

“When I first started with the city, it (recycling) was about the furthest thing from anybody’s mind,” Brandt said. “It used to be that places would pay you for things like used batteries and glass, but it’s not like

able and that there’s an economically viable market for it.

“I want integrity behind everything we do,” he said.

Within Kovalenko’s 25 years working in the industry, he too has seen dramatic changes in recycling habits, uses and technology.

“It used to be you only had one garbage and everything went in it,” he said. “But since then there’s been a diversification of the waste stream.”

For example, there’s a lot of energy being put toward isolating hazardous paints, he said.

Consumer trends also can have an impact on recycling, he said, like the 30 percent drop in the amount of recyclable paper available for the paper market because of trends like the increased use of electronics.

Countywide from 2005-2011, the amount of mixed paper recycled jumped 239 percent, recycled newspapers dropped 65 percent, but electronics rose 5,768 percent, according to the Clallam County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan 2014 update.

Given the nature of the industry, Kovalenko can’t predict the future of recycling, but can ensure in a decade from now it will be different.

“The more we learn, the more the industry continues to change,” he said. “The ultimate goal is always to use less.”

One possible change on the horizon and reoccurring topic of conversation at the local level is the question of whether to require garbage and recycle service countywide.

“Currently about 36 percent of the county’s population resides in areas where collection service is mandatory and the remainder is largely in rural areas where it is voluntary,” according to the Clallam County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan 2014 update.

In more urban counties it’s common to require curbside garbage and recycling countywide, but for residents in Clallam County, going to the either the Blue Mountain Transfer Station or Regional Transfer Station “seems to be part of the culture,” Freilich said. Still, recommendations to consider a combined service ordinance for Clallam County for curbside recycling and garbage and to further investigate the impacts of instituting universal collection service countywide, are found in the Clallam County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan 2014 update.

that anymore.”

About four years ago, city officials began using used oil to heat the shop at the city’s Public Works Maintenance Yard. Repurposing about 1,500 to 2,000 gallons of used oil through a furnace specifically designed to recycle oil warms the shop for an entire season, Brandt said.

Kovalenko would like to see more “niche” recycling, but to expand the types of material being recycled requires a certain volume.

“There are a lot more services that could be provided if the volume existed,” he said.

Before rolling out a new recycling proReach Alana Linderoth at alinderoth@ gram, Kovalenko needs to be sure there’s both enough material to make it sustain- sequimgazette.com.

Skeet

Skeet is a friendly Eskimo mix with a happy-go-lucky personality. He's always up for fun, and he does great on his walks. Skeet's only real issue is that he can be too protective of his "territory" and will try to chase people away... So, a well fenced yard, or a living arrangement without many passersby would be great! Skeet will be a great addition to any home, and he has been waiting patiently to meet his new family!

Meet Jack! He’s a very cute champagne tabby with blue eyes and a bright pink nose. He came to Safe Haven with his sisters Holly and Molly and his brother Mac. The litter of four was born in July, and cared for by a foster mom until they were old enough to come to Safe Haven in September. Jack’s best friend is his brother Mac. They love to run and jump and play on all the toys in the kitten room. They would love to find a forever home together!

The Olympic Peninsula Humane Society (OPHS), an open admission shelter, is dedicated to maintaining and improving the health and well being of all surrendered, lost, abandoned, neglected and abused companion animals of Clallam County. To meet Skeet, please call (360) 457-8206 and leave a message. 50% of Skeet's adoption fee will be paid by OPHS's animal-loving friends, Koenig Subaru.

All PFOA cats are vet checked, receive vaccinations and microchips, and are spayed or neutered. They also receive any other needed medical care, before going to their Forever Homes. To meet Jack, please call 360-452-0414 and leave a message. 50% of Jack’s adoption fee will be paid by PFOA’s generous animal supporters, Koenig Subaru.

There’s a lot to balance when you are as busy as James Taylor.

By day, Taylor works a 9-5 job as a marketing manager for Batson Enterprises, and after his daughter goes to bed for the night, he’s back to the drawing board working on any number of his comic bookrelated projects.

“You are able to make a living in comics but it’s a tough living,” he said. “You do it because you love it. You don’t do it to get rich. There have been very few to get lucky like that.”

On top of his workload, he’s also readying for the sixth annual Jet City Comic Show on Oct. 31-Nov. 1, in Tacoma, which he co-owns with Brian Meredith, owner of Subspace Comics in Lynwood.

Taylor works on the show remotely now after moving from Mill Creek to Sequim 1½ years ago with his wife Elemi and their 6-year-old daughter Olivia with the desire to be closer to the water and nature.

But moving away from the city, Taylor remains as connected as before to comic books.

Since 1997, he’s contributed to more than 100 books including his most recent effort “The Bully’s Bully,” a creator-owned graphic novel with writer Courtney Huddleston about anti-bullying that they funded through Kickstarter.

Taylor said prior to Sequim, he strictly was a full-time freelance designer/illustrator and he found there are “good years and really bad years.”

He’s never worked for the big-two publishers, Marvel or DC Comics, and found more of

I witnessed “The Full Mariners Experience.”

When I went to Safeco Field last week — it was the 159th game of the regular season — The Major League Baseball regular season which probably isn’t high on the list of memois done and the postseason is on. rable games for a sub-.500 team or Long gone are the chances for its fans. But for me I’ll never forget it. the Mariners to vie for a pennant Sept. 30 was my first MLB game this year. with the Mariners hosting the HousThanks to the Toronto Blue Jays ton Astros. breaking their playoff drought The Mariners lost 7-6. They were (1993), local and national media have up twice but gave up some big hits, mentioned endlessly that the Mariners are committed some costly errors on offense and now the placeholders of the MLB’s longest defense, and used eight relief pitchers to fill-in postseason drought. for injured starter James Paxton.

OTA announces cast for upcoming classic comedy S day and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.

The play tells of the tribulations a small town family is forced to endure when a dinner guest — the world renowned (and overbearing) radio personality Sheridan Whiteside (played by Ron Graham) — falls on their icy front stair and becomes their unwilling holiday houseguest.

Comic

From page B-1 a home inking comic pages at Penny Farthing Press, now Penny Farthing Productions. He’s done several comics for them and continues work on newer comic series slated for 2016 like “Decoy” and “Loch.”

Along with comics, Taylor used to do freelance illustrations for books, magazines and licensing work for toys and games like Tonka trucks and Candyland.

In 2003, he started Rorschach Entertainment to help artists/writers create their own comics and he still releases new comics under the name here and there.

What brought him into starting his own comic book show was his time with Emerald City Comicon, considered the biggest pop culture event in the Pacific Northwest.

Taylor said he contributed much of the advertising and print design for the Seattle show from its beginnings through 2009 until the company grew, leading to less of a role for him.

So he and Meredith, an original founder of Emerald City Comicon, brainstormed and created the Jet City Comic Show in 2009. “(Emerald City) was growing and we saw it becoming more of a pop culture show,” Taylor said. “So we thought, let’s do a stripped down show, keep the costs down (for tickets and vendor tables), with just comics. It’s still old school even with a few celebrities.”

The first three Jet City Comic Shows were hosted at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall before moving in 2013 to the Tacoma Convention & Convention Center. Taylor said they were experiencing scheduling issues and decided to roll the dice and move the show.

Sara Nicholls plays Maggie Cutler, Whiteside’s able personal assistant who manages the controlled chaos that is Whiteside’s lifestyle. Mindy Gelder, Jayna Orchard, Raven Gelder, Merv and Judi Wingard, Maria Roragen, Monica Ostrom, Mark Valentine, Steve Schultz, Tracy Williams, Rich Hendricksen, Angela Poyn-

“In 2013, it just took off,” he said.

“It got really embraced. We’re really happy with the move. We’re not the ugly cousin of Emerald City anymore.

We’re our own show now.”

This year, organizers anticipate 5,000 unique people as they expand the show to two days on Halloween and Nov. 1.

Emphasis of show Taylor said they draw in people from all over the Northwest for the show, even from the Olympic Peninsula.

“It’s awesome for new fans,” he said.

“We have everything the big shows have — it’s just less.”

He said its main goal is to promote comic books and expand their awareness, however since it’s Halloween, they are bringing in some horror film actors like Michael Berryman (“The Hills Have Eyes”) and Linnea Quigley (“Return of the Living Dead”). They’ve also added several iconic sci-fi authors like Terry Brooks, Robin Hobbs and Brian Herbert.

Taylor said they try to bring in a different flair and not schedule the same guests as Emerald City Comicon.

But the convention circuit is a tough game, he says, as there are at least a few shows going on each weekend across the nation. “With so many shows, guests are hard to schedule,” he said. “Comic book conventions are changing. That bubble has to burst at some point. There aren’t enough guests to go around.”

But Jet City caters to a more low key crowd with more room, family friendly attractions, costume contests, gaming and more, he said.

Local readers While Taylor may seem like a fish out of water here, Sequim and Clallam County aren’t detached from the comic book world. Recently, there’s been a

ter-Lemaster, Pat Owens and Joe Schulz round out this cast of social climbers, zanies, wannabes, and quirky characters guaranteed to complicate the situation into side-splitting laughter for all.

Taylor said a comic book store and/ or convention could work in the area but it all depends on support of a local comic book store.

“The closest comic book store is in Silverdale and comic book stores are our biggest promoters (for Jet City),” he said.

With all the exposure from movies, TV and marketing, statistically, some comic book titles and the number of comic book stores have gone up, Taylor said, but not in a large number people may think.

“There’s only 2,500 comic book stores in the U.S. and we’re not on newsstands much anymore,” he said.

Taylor said he sees a lot of comparisons between the comic book industry and the fishing industry.

“A lot of comic book stores are started by fans but they don’t have a lot of business sense,” he said. “I see that a lot in the fishing industry. They say they can do it and they know a lot about fishing but not the business.”

If a small comic book convention were to work in the area, he would guess Port Angeles would be the best fit with Peninsula College nearby and Victoria fans coming over. But aside from answering speculative questions, Taylor is less than a month away from Jet City Comic Show and remaining possibly one of the busiest men in Sequim.

For more information about the show, visit www.jetcitycomicshow. com. For more about James Taylor, visit www.jtinks.com and Rorschach Entertainment at www.rorschach entertainment.com for his books.

He’ll be discussing “The Bully’s Bully” on Oct. 14 at the Boys & Girls Club during National Bullying Awareness Week.

All are welcomed to the event, one of the gallery’s community outreach programs.

This non-league game was a non-starter — and for good reasons.

Centralia High School was shut down after staff received a threat of violence on Oct. 2 and the district shut down after-school

activities — including the high school’s Homecoming game against Sequim later that evening, according to The Chronicle newspaper in Centralia.

Investigators say high school staff found a note at about 10 a.m. that stated a student planned to kill people during an assembly later in the day, The Chronicle reported.

Sequim’s boys put on another dominating effort while the Wolves’ girls fended off a resurgent Kingston squad.

Sequim’s cross country teams earned a double sweep as both squads improved on 6-0 on the season, knocking off Klahowya and host Kingston on Sept. 30.

On t he boys’ side, Sequim’s Jackson Oliver edged fellow senior Brendon Despain by two-tenths of a second for top honors (16:00 and 16:00.2), SHS freshman Ash Francis was fourth with a 16:16 finish, and Sequim seniors Chris Jeff ko (16:49) and C.J. Daniels (17:00) went sixth and seventh. The Wolves tallied 20 team points to out-pace Kingston (37) and Klahowya (81).

“Chris and C.J., they know they have to get a little faster and they’re working on it,” Sequim coach Harold Huff said. “I’m not concerned yet.

(Chris) has a way of peaking just right.”

Kingston senior Alexander Winn was the top non-Wolf with a fourth-place finish, in 16:08.

The girls race was a much closer contest — thanks to a slew of new Buc runners — but Sequim prevailed with a four-point win (33-37).

Leading the way once again was SHS senior Waverly Shreffler, whose 19:55 finish beat the field by one minute, 15 seconds.

Sequim’s Audrey Shingleton (21:44) edged teammate Kiara Pierson by

“She (Pierson) is running really strong — she’s a tough competitor,” Huff said.

Sequim’s Elizabeth Rosales (22:21), Emily Webb (23:30) and Alexis Cromer (23:34) took 10th, 11th and 12th, respectively.

“We’re still looking for a fifth girl to pick it up,” Huff said, eyeing the Olympic League and West Central District meets.

Kingston, who finished fifth at the 2014 Olympic League meet (Sequim was second), has cut the gap between the two schools, and quickly. On Sept. 30, six of their top eight runners were freshmen. Leading the charge was frosh Claire Larson, who placed second behind Shreffler.

Huff said Kingston’s girls team may be the one to beat at the league meet, set for Oct. 22 at Sequim’s The Cedars at Dungeness golf course.

“It’s a pretty tight team; they’re going to get five across (quickly),” he said. “We’ll see if somebody steps up.”

Pirates get super sweep Sequim Gazette staff

A title game? It only looked like it.

In a rematch of last season’s NWAC final, Peninsula exacted a bit of revenge as they knocked off the visiting Everett Trojans, 2-1.

Hoku Afong scored the second of her two goals at the 53-minute mark and Peninsula withstood a tough Trojan team to avenge a loss earlier this season and put the teams in a tie atop the North Division heading PHOTO into the week’s play.

GALLERY @ Coupled with the Peninsula www.sequimgazette.com men’s 7-3 win against Everett later that afternoon, it was a big sweep for Peninsula on “White Out Day” at Sigmar Field — when fans sported white “Pirate Proud” T-shirts.

On the men’s side, Peninsula out-slugged visiting Everett 7-3 in what turned out to be a lopsided matchup — eventually. Jonathan Martinez had four goals and an assist and teammate Keo Ponce added two scores as the Pirates, now in first place in the North Division, shrugged off two own-goals to knock off the Trojans, who sit in last place in the North.

Mariners From page B-1

The full Mariners experience, I’m told, starts when they grab you by the heartstrings with big plays, only to end in failure.

In this case, it starts with back-to-back home runs

by Kyle Seager and Nelson Cruz in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Then, they throw it aside, e.g. Franklin Gutiérrez popping up for the second out in the bottom of the ninth and pinch-runner James Jones is leading off so far that he’s thrown out at first base to end the game.

That is the Full Mariners Experience.

Oregon roots Growing up in Oregon, our fandom for professional sports centered around the Portland Trailblazers. It wasn’t uncommon for friends and neighbors to travel to Mariners and Seahawks games but I’d say I knew more people going south for Beavers and Ducks games.

I’ve been to the Kingdome and Safeco Field for various events but never a Mariners game. The M’s games were broadcast in the Portland area and I’d watch and root for Griffey Jr., Edgar Martinez and company growing up. I even tried to mimic Edgar’s stance in Little League at one point, which as you can surmise, led to big things for opposing pitchers striking me out.

Anyway, I’ve found it’s fairly commonplace among people in town to have seen the Mariners in person. It’s almost sacrilegious to some, so I felt I was long overdue to see our national pastime on the big stage.

Bring it on

Mike Dashiell and I take in the left field sights with some drinks on Sept. 30, at Safeco Field.

refill my drink at the restaurant, OK!), we had to run to catch the ferry. Well, Mike ran. I shuffle-jogged but I’m not sure if that’s a good enough phrase for awkwardly running.

On the boat, we noticed the sky tinted majestically off the Seattle buildings.

The setting felt perfect for a baseball game.

It didn’t matter to me the Mariners were 75-83. It didn’t matter that they were playing the Houston Astros either.

“Who goes to a game to see Jose Altuve or George Springer?” Mike joked before the game.

We did, apparently.

At one point, we went for a walk around the ballpark so I could look around and we were standing in the 300 level at center field for both of the Mariners home runs — one

by Kyle Seager, the other by Nelson Cruz.

But in the next inning, we saw the Astros’ Chris Carter tie the game at 6 with a threerun-RBI home run.

The Astros went ahead for good in the top of the seventh as Cobly Rasmus singled in Jonathan Villar off ‘Lord’ Danny Farquhar.

It was definitely an emotional roller coaster.

the game from left, center and right field and eventually settled on behind home plate from a concessions table. We stood there long enough that an usher offered us seats to finish out the game among a sea of empty seats.

Admittedly, it was a Wednesday night and at one point on our walk around the park, we were the only ones on one whole floor. We started talking our fears of a zombie apocalypse until a woman sweeping breezed by us.

Despite the dearth of fans, I couldn’t have asked for a better night.

While it’s a fairly random game to make my first, I’m sure there were a handful of others out there taking in the game for the first time.

At one point, I couldn’t contain my excitement.

On the 300 level, I ordered Mike a beer as a thank you for

wearing M’s caps. Behind me, I heard a grandfather speaking to his grandson about the game.

“Be ready for a ball,” he said. “They can come at anytime. Get your glove up.”

Next to me was Mike, a long-time Mariners fan who knew details about the M’s only a true fan could know.

Despite his and many others’ frustration with the game’s end result, I still felt hope resonate.

Before we left the park, Mike showed me “The Double” mural depicting Edgar’s heroic double in 1995 bringing home Joey Cora and Ken Griffey Jr. to beat the New York Yankees and win their first postseason series.

In a way, it symbolizes the Mariners of today who once again are trying to break the odds. Going to this game helped me realize I want to share an experience like this with my boys many, many times.

Showdown in PT While Sequim’s boys — ranked No. 2 in the state cross country 2A coaches poll — look to complete another unbeaten season Oct. 7 as they take on Port Angeles and host Port Townsend, Sequim’s girls look to knock off the Roughriders, a team they placed second behind at last season’s league final.

Sophomore Gracie Long, the defending district champ and one of the top runners in the state, leads the way for Port Angeles.

Huff said he’s curious to see how Shreffler, Sequim’s top runner, matches up with Long.

The Wolves were slated to run at the Nike Hole in the Wall Invitational in Lakewood on Oct. 10, but the squad decided to skip the non-league event.

“We basically all agreed we’d be better off doing a hard training run (instead of) being on the road all day,” Huff said.

Top teams from the Oct. 22 league meet advance to the Oct. 31 Westside Classic district meet at American Lake Veterans Golf Course in Tacoma. The top five 2A girls teams and top six 2A boys teams advance to the state 2A meet, set for Nov. 7 in Pasco.

Bennett finished the first half scoring at 37 minutes to go up 4-0. Raelynn Opdyke had a shot deflected that went to Bennett for the goal.

Murdach said the girls had a lot of scoring opportunities and a chance to give more girls playing time.

“This is the first step to building momentum,” she told the team.

The win comes after a 5-1 loss in North Mason on Sept. 29 and a 1-0 loss to North Kitsap on Oct. 1.

The loss to North Mason (3-1, 5-2) was rough, Murdach said.

“They scored two early goals and we couldn’t correct ourselves after that,” she said. “The girls were disappointed. It wasn’t one one of their best performances.”

Torres scored the Wolves’ lone goal with a free kick in the final two minutes.

Against North Kitsap (3-1, 8-1), Murdach said the girls fought well and stepped up their play including goalie Claire Henninger making big saves and Aylee Bennett on offense who forced the defense to make quite a few errors.

Despite the team’s sub-.500 win-loss record, Murdach said the girls have played well and

Last week was Centralia High’s Homecoming week and an assembly was scheduled for Friday afternoon, with the non-league football Sequim-Centralia game to follow in the evening.

However, the game, Homecoming dance and all other school activities through the weekend were postponed.

Though there was talk of rescheduling the game, “a varsity game is hard to get together in a half day,” Dave Ditlefsen, Sequim High School athletic director, said.

Sequim coach Anita Benitez said the team was complimented for its positivity at the meet, which makes her proud of the culture that’s been created on the Sequim team.

Sequim hosts its final three meets of the season at SARC with Port Townsend first up at 3 p.m.

“The girls are starting to click together,” she said. “The missing component has been getting the ball in the back of the net.”

“Our offense was spread out well with Sydney and Lillian doing a great job setting,” Webber Heilman said.

Christiansen had five of the team’s eight blocks, and Roberts led the team with 17 digs.

Sequim had 16 aces —

three each from Bentz, Christiansen, Oden and Potts — and was 61-of-68 from the service line.

“We overwhelmed them with our tough serving,” Webber Heilman said.

The Wolves were slated to play at Bremerton on Oct. 6.

Notice of Availability of the Northwest Training and Testing Final Environmental Impact Statement/ Overseas Environmental Impact Statement (EIS/OEIS)

451032777

The U.S. Navy, in cooperation with the U.S. Coast Guard and National Marine Fisheries Service, has prepared a Final EIS/OEIS to conclude evaluation of potential environmental impacts from military readiness training and testing activities conducted primarily within existing range complexes, operating areas and testing ranges of the Northwest Training and Testing (NWTT) Study Area.

Proposed Action The Proposed Action is to conduct training and testing activities within the NWTT Study Area, to include the use of active sonar, acoustic sources and explosives, as well as pierside sonar maintenance and testing. While training and testing, the Navy follows strict guidelines and employs measures to reduce effects on marine species.

The purpose of the Proposed Action is to ensure that the Navy accomplishes its mission to maintain, train and equip combat-ready naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas.

The Final EIS/OEIS also supports the renewal of federal regulatory permits and authorizations for current training and testing activities and future activities requiring environmental analysis.

Public Involvement The Final EIS/OEIS will be available to the public for The completion of the Final EIS/OEIS follows years of research, 30 days beginning Oct. 2, 2015. Access the analysis and public involvement. The Navy held nine public Final EIS/OEIS online at www.NWTTEIS.com or view a copy at one of 21 community libraries in scoping meetings in March 2012, eight public meetings in the affected coastal counties.

present a tough challenge for Sequim’s boys at this year’s district meet, even as Sequim eyes a rematch at state with defending 2A champ Sehome.

“Both those schools are running some really good times,” Huff said. “For (Sequim) to win at districts and state, they’re going to have to be on top of their game.”

until 4:30, 5 p.m. — at that point they still hadn’t made a decision with their dance (set for) Saturday night,” he said.

With several Sequim players set to take SAT tests the following day (Saturday) and other commitments, the schools agreed to cancel the varsity game, Ditlefsen said.

Instead, the schools agreed to keep the already scheduled Sequim-Centralia junior varsity game set for Oct. 5. Ditlefsen, who also is an assistant coach for Sequim’s varsity team, said teams agreed to have several juniors and sophomores from both squads play good portions of the first half and true JV squads in the second half of Monday’s game.

Sequim was coming off a 27-10 home loss to North Kitsap the week previous.

Centralia was coming off a 13-0 loss to Kelso.

The Wolves (1-1 in Olympic League play, 3-1 overall) jump back into Olympic League play this week with a game at North Mason. The Bulldogs (1-2, 1-4) are coming off a 49-14 drubbing at the hands of league-leading North Kitsap on Oct. 2.

Ditlefsen said a kind of silver lining in the game’s cancelation is that the week off gives Sequim a chance to heal some injuries and get focused for key upcoming games.

“We have four very important league games coming up — to be healthy and fresh and energized is important,” he said.

Last season, Sequim edged North Mason 26-20 in overtime.

HELEN HALLER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL The annual Dungeness River Festival always promises to be interesting, engaging, educational and, most of all, a lot of fun! The students in Cheryl Daniels’ fourthgrade class discovered that this year was no exception. Touring and participating at the many different booths and tents, students had the opportunity to touch, pedal, paint,

string and even climb through a giant salmon!

Faith Iymangrover, Madison Ripley, Brian Gallegos, Svenn White, Lili Mitchell and Alden Smith agreed that their favorite thing about the River Fest was watching the salmon swim up the river to spawn. There were so many dead fish after they laid their eggs. They also liked digging in the sand/sawdust to find cool rocks and bracelets.

Emma Sweeney, Joy Munyagi, Ava Pettett, Quin Adams, Chaya Cruz and Zachary Green all loved walking through the Audubon Center looking at the stuffed animals and fish of the Northwest. They even petted a bear. Their favorite craft was the fish painting and fish hats. The team had a lot of fun, but the best part was getting to hug Smokey the Bear. He was so soft.

Kathryn Folstrom, Miguel Majera, Jayden Aiken, Kika Oldham, Anna Anderson and Ricardo Hernandez thought the most interesting part of the day’s field trip was the Salmon Exhibit. Inside the salmon, we discovered that the tongue was supposed to be the river. There were also lots of birds and other fish inside. At the end of the salmon there was a big bump. It was such a fun exhibit to explore!

Brayen Appel, Allie Arnold, William Blahm, Zach Pinell and Kaitlyn Bloomrader liked hearing the marimba music as they walked around and talked to the Mr. Salmon and shook Smokey the Bear’s hand. They learned he just had his 71st birthday! They also were fascinated by the “bee” man and all his honey facts. Most shocking was when their teacher learned take-out food containers were not recyclable!

All in all, it was a great day and

the weather was fair. Many students planned to return to the festival on the weekend with their families for more adventures.

SEQUIM HIGH SCHOOL Madeline Patterson, journalism student, reports that Sequim High School hosted the first annual College Fair. Invited were over 50 colleges and schools, including the armed forces.

Representatives from some colleges in Arizona, Oregon, California,

and of course, Washington were present. With the colleges were a few apprenticeship programs and the five branches of the armed forces.

Among the enlisted military, there was a few academies represented also. Thanks go to Mitzi Sanders, who organized the entire event.

Kyle Klopfenstein said, “It was the most interesting thing we’ve had at school.” Sonja Miller said to her first period Spanish class.

“Make sure you like what the rep is saying and that you can connect with them. If you don’t like what

they are saying to you, that college is probably not right for you.”

SEQUIM OPTIONS SCHOOL Recently, the teaching staff celebrated Dakota Walthall’s earning of her 2015 diploma. Dakota was a very hard worker and we are happy to be able to celebrate all her hard work and success with her. School board president Beverly Horan was on hand for the presentation.

SPIRITUALSPOTLIGHT

Talk explores solving your ‘Faith Puzzle’ Four-week series starts Sunday at SHS Sequim Gazette staff

There are some hard questions in life and Tim Richards wants to help explore those with you.

The former pastor leads “The Faith Puzzle,” a fournight series mixing testimony, music and drama starting at 7 p.m. from Oct. 11, 18, 25 and Nov. 1, in Sequim High School RICHARDS Auditorium, 601 N. Sequim Ave. “We’ve been billing this as a series of talks for believers who doubt and doubters who are curious about belief,” Richards said.

Despite growing up around the Christian faith and becoming a pastor, Richards said he had his own crisis of faith and agonized over the big questions in life.

Richards said the only way he could know if his faith were true was not tying his paycheck to exploring for the right answer.

So he resigned as a pastor and moved back to Sequim with his family to explore faith “like a blind man trying to assemble a jigsaw puzzle,

feeling for the edges trying to make sense of the puzzle. And slowly a picture began to emerge,” he said.

“The Faith Puzzle” shares his story from faith to agnosticism and back.

Some of the questions he’ll discuss include, “Is there really any objective evidence for God?” “Is Jesus who he claimed to be?” and “How do we explain that God is good when

LULU is such a happy girl!

LuLu is a very sweet pit bull that needs a home that can spend lots of time with her.

LuLu should be an only pet.

She is not overly aggressive with other animals, but she has a history of scuffles in the past with other dogs in her home. 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!!!

HARLEY is a timid, but friendly girl. She came in with her “sister” Bella, but they really don’t get along, so Harley would do best as the only dog in the home... Harley doesn’t really like to be picked up, and seems to have a bit of a sore back sometimes.

He is currently attending a training/socialization program and will be available to go to a new home when she returns.
