Sequim Tradition Lives On

Project pending county commissioners’ vote by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Biker takes the long road Tom Ledford keeps promise, honors wife by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

When it comes to age and motion, Tom Ledford, 72, follows a buddy’s old adage. “People would ask him, ‘Jacques, how old are you?’ ‘Oh, age is just a number and my number is unlisted,’” Ledford said. “I try to follow him. Age is what you make it. You can make yourself young or old.” Well, Ledford’s age didn’t get in the way for at least 7,934 miles. In August, he traveled cross country on his 1998 Honda Gold Wing motorcycle by himself to Boston. Like many people, Ledford has a bucket list and his includes traveling and seeing many of the Civil War sites. But his mileage could have been more. He was planning to travel with his sonin-law Steve until he got injured. Ledford left for California to see him on Aug. 1 and after a few days determined Steve

Auditor offers voters guide

For the first time, the Clallam County Auditor’s Office has teamed with the Washington Secretary of State’s Office to produce a printed local voters’ pamphlet for Clallam County voters. The 2015 Clallam County Local Voters’ Pamphlet is included within the Washington State Voters’ Pamphlet and mailed to every residence in the county. The pamphlets for the 2015 General Election are expected to be mailed from the state this week. Along with information about all state measures and advisory votes appearing on the general election ballot, the pamphlet also contains photos, statements and biographical details

A 40-acre plot east of Sequim is one step closer toward being transformed into a long awaited disc golf course. The Clallam County Planning Commission passed the recommendation to rezone the property in a 6-1 vote with two abstentions following a public hearing Oct. 7. The decision to change the property from Rural Low to Parks and Recreation will allow county parks and recreation officials to continue with their plans that began in 2007 to implement an 18-hole disc golf course. “I think it’s an ideal location,” Tom Montgomery, planning commission member, said.

More than two-and-a-half years after what Sequim resident Morgan Weimer, 48, classified as excessive force from Sequim Police, he settled last week with the City of Sequim’s risk pool to receive $35,000 in damages. The settlement agreement follows an incident where Weimer was subdued on May 12, 2013, by police outside the Oasis Bar & Grill, after he was involved in two brief altercations with patron Chris Boynton inside the restaurant. Cell phone footage captured an officer punching Weimer after he allegedly reached for the officer’s taser, law enforcement officials said.

Sequim supports YMCA’s feasibility study for SARC Surveying ends Oct. 24 by phone and online by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

It took Sequim City councilors an extra two weeks to mull their decision, but they are now on board with supporting a feasibility study about the Olympic Peninsula YMCA running the

Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center. They voted unanimously on Oct. 12 to support the study by the YMCA with $5,000 toward the $36,000 project creating a business plan. The phone and online survey began on Oct. 8 and ends on Oct. 24. Kyle Cronk, chief executive officer for the YMCA, said several entities are committed to the study and that Clallam County commissioners committed to

match up to $6,000 of the city council’s decision. Councilor Ted Miller said normally he is adverse to giving taxpayers’ money to other entities but found this to be a special case. “Maintaining the SARC pool is essential for the community,” he said. “I sincerely hope the YMCA can make this work.” Councilor Dennis Smith said there are a lot of reasons to keep SARC maintained. “The taxpayers (in Eastern Clallam County) in the county

own the property,” he said. “We have every reason to make it profitable and keep it open.” Some city councilors were hesitant to make a decision on Sept. 28, as they waited for other entities to support the study. Some councilors also expressed concern over SARC’s board of commissioners not unanimously voting to support the study. On Monday, Councilor Ken Hays wanted to know if SARC

Ledford might be known to the community in many roles — as a butcher at QFC, as a Shriner and Mason and/or as the owner of the brightest home in town. At Christmastime, he, his wife Judee and their family decorate their Hendrickson Road home immaculately with thousands of lights on their home, barn and trees. Decorating and paying the electricity bill was Ledford’s annual gift to his wife Judee who he was with for 50 years. Unfortunately, Judee died on Oct. 22, 2014, after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in July 2013. The decorating tradition continued last Christmas and will continue again this year, Ledford said. “We’re going to decorate it again this year,” he said. “You can’t give it up. We have the kids raised this way.” On the 22nd of each month, Ledford lights a tree out front in purple lights in honor of his wife’s battle with pancreatic cancer and even though Judee left this world, Ledford said she was with him on the trip. He pinned a purple ribbon near his heart on his leather vest next to his Marine Corps. patches. “I listened to my music, which brought back a lot memories with her,” Ledford said. “I talked to her quite a lot on the trip.”

it ended up flooding the bathroom. Ledford hasn’t shaved since but he recalls after speaking with the motel clerk, a “grizzly bear” of a man came up to thank him for serving in the military. “He did the best thing I ever had anyone do … this big gorilla says to me, ‘Can I give you a hug?’” Ledford said. “He gave me a big bear hug and for the next couple of hours I had a great ride. I was thinking about what he was saying. As you get out to that lonely road, it felt good.” Ledford’s family was with him in spirit on the trip. They tracked him on his cell phone and his grandson Sean Edmonds, 9, traced a map as his grandpa went along and put stickers down whenever he spent the night. Ledford had to learn how to use his iPhone though to text, call and take photos.

Get-together His trip also served as a family reunion because he wanted to make it to Boston for a memorial service for his brother Bob, also a Vietnam veteran, who died earlier in the year. Ledford met with Bob’s wife, sharing stories she and others never heard before. “I’ve been the uncle who’s been away all his life,” he said. “I left when I was 18 and I come from a big family. When you go to a get-together you can’t sit with everyone.” His two daughters Shari and Shannon flew from California for a few days, too, and they all enjoyed some of Boston’s sights. Ledford recalls his older

Back to Sequim He didn’t hit any rough spots until coming upon I-5. “It poured so bad that I noticed all the cars’ lights around me went on,” he said. “There was a rest area and I waited 15 minutes. As soon as it stopped I got back on. But then 15 minutes later it poured again.” Ledford pulled over on the highway and stood up on his bike because he couldn’t see through his windshield. Thankfully, a truck driver pulled over and put his flashers on to prevent anyone coming near Ledford. “Most truckers are bikers and they know what’s going on,” he said. “Ten minutes later the rain stopped. I gave him a high five. He blew his horn like saying you did good man. All the way home it was nice.” He cruised into town on Aug. 29 and Sean was waiting for him at the top of the driveway. Since, then Ledford already has been mulling his next bucket list trip — the Rolling Thunder Ride in Washington, D.C., next May — to see the Vietnam Memorial. But for now, Ledford plans to stick to his regular routines of poker nights, breakfasts with friends, local bike rides and keeping his home bright.

The plentiful produce grown within the SequimDungeness Valley was made accessible to Sequim Food Bank visitors in a community-centric pilot program. Based on the first needs assessment conducted for the Sequim Food Bank in March, fresh fruit and vegetables are the most requested items, Mark Ozias, food bank executive director, said. Learning this, Ozias sought to bring not only more, but local fresh fruit and vegetables to the Sequim Food Bank. “It’s been pretty amazing,” he said. “One of the neatest aspects is it’s helping people feel special.” Working with Nash’s Organic Produce, a longtime organic farm within the Dungeness River delta, Ozias was able to coordinate hosting a farmers market at the Sequim Food Bank and allow visitors to pick out between $15-$20 worth of produce. Because Nash’s already regularly donates to the food bank, it was an easy partnership, Ozias said. Officials with Nash’s agreed to sell their produce to the food bank at wholesale allowing them to cover their costs, but also allowing the Sequim Food Bank to both serve and offer more. “This is something we’re really excited about,” Devon Beck, Nash’s farmers market manager, said. “People have been very happy and grateful to have us here.” While Beck educated visitors on the varying types of produce at the market, Monica Dixon, a registered dietitian, chef and Sequim Food

One of our big jobs as dentists is helping patients adjust to the idea of getting the best treatment for their teeth. Most people, unless they have had continuous bad experiences with teeth, have adjusted to the look and feel of their teeth. So when they are informed that significant work and change is necessary on their teeth, it’s difficult to accept. We must assure the patient that the treatment will be best for them in the long run. I have adopted the philosophy of doing what I would do if the patient was my son, daughter, wife, mom or dad. In that way, I feel good about what I do, and I think the patient senses that they are getting the best care.

Unmet shelter needs is focus of Providers group

Sure Signs

Sequim Fall

Awesome autumn? You bet. Above, contributor Bob Lampert spots a sure sign of fall at the Agnew Grocery & Feed store earlier this month. At left, Lampert captured these fall colors after a Sequim fall rain just outside downtown Sequim last week. Below, Mary Marsh captured these spooktacular squash and gourds at Sunny Farms recently.

The Shelter Providers Network of Clallam County will review emergency homeless shelters available on the North Olympic Peninsula and identify unmet shelter needs, when they meet Wednesday, Oct. 21. The group meets from 10-11:30 a.m. in Room 160 of the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles. “Overnight shelter has been in the news lately, but that is just one type of shelter,” said Network coordinator Martha Ireland. “We also have clean-and-sober residential shelters, family shelters, seasonal shelters and shelters for specific populations, such as veterans or people fleeing domestic violence. “Our goal is to get people from homelessness to permanently housed,” Ireland said. “We will be looking at how the shelter part of the system is working and what is needed to make it work better.” Also on the agenda are updates on services and housing, and plans for the regional forum on “What we’re doing to end homelessness together,” to be held Nov. 18 at the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Center in Blyn. OlyCAP client services manager Marki Lockhart will announce the start-up of the seasonal LIHEAP program to help low-income people pay heating costs. The Shelter Providers Network coordinates homelessness response services and efforts to prevent and end homelessness in Clallam County. Everyone who is interested in ending homelessness in Clallam County is welcome. Sign in begins at 9:45 a.m. For more information, contact Ireland at 452-7224 ext. 307 or e-mail shelterprovidersnetwork@gmail.com.

Football game: Sequim vs. Port Angeles When: 7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 16. Where: Sequim School District stadium Features: SHS Homecoming Royalty named at halftime

by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

The Sequim School District is offering a guided walking tour of school facilities that may be affected by the school construction bond passage from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 14. The tour begins at 6 p.m. with a short presentation in Room P-1 (a portable) at Sequim High School, 601 N. Sequim Ave., and includes sites around the high school campus and the district’s base kitchen. The tour winds up at Helen Haller Elementary School, 350 W. Fir St. Attendees will be asked to fill out a short survey at the end of the tour. Those interested in attending the walking tour are asked to call Patsene Dashiell, the district’s director of communications, at 582-3260. Tr a n s p or t a t io n around the district’s campus will be provided for those needing assistance; call in advance to request this so necessary arrangements can be made.

Having a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21, a genetic disorder known as Down syndrome, didn’t keep Nick Barrett, 17, from becoming a member of the 2015 Sequim High School Homecoming court. At halftime during Friday’s Homecoming football game against the Wolves’ rival, the Port Angeles Roughriders, Barrett will be crowned duke, prince or king. B a r re t t ’s peers at SHS nominated him last week along with fellow seniors BARRETT Katie Rogers, Karen Chan, Jack Shea, Mckenzie Bentz and Evan Hurn. “I think it’s amazing he was nominated and it shows the maturity of the students at Sequim High School,” Bill Schroepfer, assistant wrestling coach, said. Schroepfer has helped hone Barrett’s wrestling skills for two years. “I try to teach Nick just like any other kid and he usually responds just like any other

kid,” he said. “He gives 110 percent everyday in everything he does … I think we all can learn and find inspiration from that.” In joining the school’s wrestling team, Barrett was able to help highlight the importance of not only being a team, but acting like one. “We went through a couple of years where the team wasn’t very team focused, but that all changed after Barrett joined,” Schroepfer said. Shadowing the positive experience associated with his team, Barrett also has been able to connect with students beyond the wrestling mat while participating in the school’s life skills class. “What’s really happening with all of this is his confidence is increasing,” said Barrett’s mom, Terry. “The environment he’s in now allows him to develop relationships.” Only after Barrett moved

Massage therapist expands practice Bunny Cornwall, licensed master aesthetician and board certified massage therapist, has expanded her practice by including Intense Pulsed Light therapy. IPL treatments use short bursts of high-intensity light to penetrate the skin’s surface, damaging the melanin that creates brown spots or the vessels that create raised capillaries. IPL also targets the pigment in your hair with the result being a permanent hair reduction with no downtime. For more information or to schedule your free consultation, call Cornwall at Olympic Day Spa, 332 E. Eighth St., Port Angeles, at 565-8000 or visit www.olympicdayspa.us.

Undersheriff Ron Cameron of the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office attended the first Homeland Security Leadership Academy hosted by the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) in Glynco, Ga., from Sept. 14-24. The program is the first of its kind training that explored the contemporary issues CAMERON impacting the law enforcement profession. T he ac ademy provided pa rticipants not only with courses on crisis management, leadership and terrorism awareness, but also the opportunity to engage with fellow senior law enforcement leaders from across the country. Students were placed into simulated events and monitored by facilitators where problems were supplied to solve in high stress situations, preparing commanders for high profile responses that are prevalent today. Cameron said he was honored to be a part of the first Homeland Security Leadership Academy at FLETC. It is expected the academy will become a regularly scheduled program offered and future such academies are expected to be scheduled starting in 2016.

Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge Turns 100

A look back When we European invaders arrived, we took advantage of the earlier arrival of our diseases — measles, smallpox, whooping cough — that had devastated the local villages. In 1855 territorial Gov. Isaac Stevens coerced the S’Klallam Tribe and others into signing the Point-No-Point Treaty, in which they ceded almost all their lands, but retained hunting, fishing and gathering rights “in all the accustomed places.” In the mid-20th century, when Washington refused to honor the treaty, it was overruled by the Boldt (1974) and Rafeedie (1994) Decisions.

Sequim’s street lights out for bulb replacement

Status and struggles But the Jamestown struggle was not over. Since they refused to go onto the reservation, they did not have official tribal status, losing government benefits given to other tribes. Without tribal status, it was

questionable whether even the Boldt Decision applied to them. On Jan. 22, 1976, they petitioned the government for recognized tribal status. On Feb. 10, 1981, they finally gained it. Today, under the leadership of W. Ron Allen, they are one of the most economically and politically powerful tribes in the nation. Dungeness Spit always has been an important part of their life. In 1855, the S’Klallam had two villages on Dungeness Bay or Tses-kut: Tsako west of Cline Spit and Stehlum by the mouth of the Dungeness River. In 1980, workers cleaning up Graveyard Spit discovered an antique unfinished canoe, estimated to date from the 1840s or 1850s. Salish tribes often used ocean spits for burying their dead, sometimes placing them in canoes such as this one, raised above the ground on posts. The canoe now rests at the Jamestown cemetery. Judging by refuge managers’ reports over the years, relations with Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge have not always been smooth. It requires a delicate balance between honoring Native treaty rights and the refuge management’s mandate to protect the wildlife. Bird hunting is not allowed on the refuge, and seals, a traditional

Master Gardners talk of delightful dahlias Washington State University Master Gardener Betty Ashland will share techniques and her passion for growing dahlias at noon Thursday, Oct. 22, at in the county commissioner’s meeting room of the Clallam County Courthouse. Ashland will discuss planting times, depth, watering and fertilizer needs. She also will explain how to dig, divide and store the tubers in the fall. Ashland grows more than 90 dahlia plants each year in her home garden. She said, “I want gardeners to feel the joy in grow- “Cultivating Dahlias in Your Garden” will be presented by veteran Master Gardener Betty ing these beautiful and varied Ashland at noon Thursday, Oct. 22, in the flowers and sharing them with county commissioners’ meeting room of the friends and neighbors.” Clallam County Courthouse.

Evenso,theJamestownS’Klallam Tribe has shellfish harvesting operations on the tidelands adjacent to the refuge, as well as fishing in the bay. Today the tribe and the refuge try to work together to protect both the refuge and Native treaty rights. Need I say that it requires constant communication, a large dose of trust and maybe help from a friend. When you walk down the forest trail, you may hear his loud, deep “Craawk” echoing through the woods. Sometimes you may glimpse him floating overhead on dark, silent wings. Raven, who always has been central to Northwest tribal beliefs, is watching over the spit and the refuge. Creator and trickster, he gave us the light, the salmon and the cedar. From his perch in the woods his bright black eye watches all that happens, guarding the spit and all its people, both human and animal. Be careful not to cross him. Otherwise Trickster might change you into a gull or a rough-skinned newt. John Maxwell is a historian for the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge.

The City of Sequim Public Works crew will continue replacing traditional, inefficient light bulbs in city street lamps with LED (light-emitting diode) units. The work will be conducted between 5 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Monday-Friday now through the end of the year. Residents may observe a one or two block bank of lights that are out at one time during this period for replacement. The city began the replacement program in 2014 as a cost savings program. The Clallam County PUD estimates that the LED units installed this year will save the city approximately $6,000 in electrical costs per year. The city also should see savings in labor cost and materials over time, as LED units need to be replace less frequently than traditional bulbs. Contact City of Sequim streets manager Mike Brandt at 681-3437 or mbrandt@sequimwa.gov with questions.

Then in 2007 came the commercial shellfish growers settlement between commercial shellfish growers and 17 treaty Indian tribes in western Washington. Today Jamestown S’Klallam tribal members exercise their lawfully recognized right to fish and harvest shellfish on the spit and adjoining state tidelands. It was a tough fight, but they are used to tough fights. In the 1870s, pressured to move to the Skokomish reservation, home of traditional enemies, they refused to move, instead clinging to life around Sequim and Dungeness bays. In 1874, under the leadership of their chief, Lord James Balch, the Jamestown people pooled their money, $500, and purchased 210 acres of land near Dungeness. This is not a reservation. They bought it. After years of effort, they became a thriving tribe. While we whites thought the Indians would become extinct and fade away into the sunset, they are still here and flourishing.

When the last ice age ended some 10,000 years ago, “The People” were here. As the glacier receded, animals followed it northward and “The People” followed the animals. Through countless earthquakes and tsunamis, floods and climate changes, they were here. They were here long before the Vikings landed at L’Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland about the year 1,000 A.D. They were here long before there was even a Dungeness Spit — Tsitsa-kwick in their language — much less a Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge. The S’Klallam people — including the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe — are part of the Coastal Salish who claim ancestry from those post-ice age peoples. Compared to their 10,000 years, the refuge’s century is barely the blink of an eye. Ten thousand years is older than the birth of agriculture in the Middle East and older than the pyramids in Egypt or Stonehenge and New Grange in the British Isles. What happened here in all

that time? Did these First People settle in one place or did they migrate, following the game, fish and wild plants? How many earthquakes and tsunamis did they endure? During 10,000 years the climate would have fluctuated through cycles of hot and cold, wet and dry. How were The People on the North Olympic Peninsula affected by these changes? Do they have oral traditions that might tells us? Several stories tell of a massive flood that may have been either the tsunami from the 1700 subduction earthquake, or the earlier inundation at the end of the ice age.

Disc golf

Guide

From page A-1

Disc golf is a game that combines the concepts of golf, basketball and frisbee. It can be played solo or with many, where each individual throws a small disc into baskets scattered throughout a course with natural obstacles, such as trees and hills. The object of the game is to traverse a course from start to finish with the fewest number of throws of the disc. “Over the past decade, the game has seen a 12 to 15 percent annual growth rate across the country,” according to the Clallam County Parks, Fair and Facilities 2013 disc golf proposal. Past controversy on the location and park department priorities, time and funding kept the disc golf course from becoming a reality, but in 2010 county parks officials targeted a 40acre site adjacent to Thompson Road conducive for multiple configurations and varying features for players of all levels. In May, members of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board discussed the public concerns associated with the Thompson Road site that primarily focused on the potential of increased traffic and loss of privacy — echoing those voiced by one nearby resident at the planning commission’s public hearing. Like the planning commission, in May the board voted to continue with proposed plans and by July they had submitted the necessary paperwork to rezone the property to the county’s Department of Community Development. Despite the space available, only about 20 acres are will be utilized

Cronk said if the YMCA can successfully manage the facility, they’ll look to see what collaboration they can do. “The sky is the limit,” he said.

Settlement From page A-1

A trial was set to begin Tuesday, Oct. 6, as Weimer sought damages and attorney’s fees in U.S. District Court in Tacoma but the judge ordered a settlement, which Weimer’s attorney John Black said he wanted all along. “We achieved what we set out to do — to get the compensation for the pain

for the course. Having passed through the planning commission, the Clallam County Board of Commissioners is next to vote on whether the area should be rezoned. “I think the earliest the board would hear the rezone would be late October or early November,” Kevin LoPiccolo, Clallam County Department of Community Development planning manager, said. “The Planning Commission recommendation “What does the community need and what will they support?” Councilor Erik Erichsen was hesitant SARC’s board would support the YMCA after the study is revealed. “I can’t force them,” Cronk said. “At the end of the day, the legal way is through a management agreement.” Cronk said his organization is taking a risk by showing how to make the facility viable but they hope SARC’s board agrees.

he endured,” Black said. “We feel we held the city accountable.” Black said Weimer, a drywaller, lost time at work and sought medical help after suffering severe back pain for a few weeks following three blows to his kidney area. The City’s Risk Pool attorney Patrick McMahon from Wenatchee said the decision was a business decision by the risk pool and doesn’t concede liability.

and findings will be submitted to the BOCC as well as the record of Planning Commission proceedings.” Only after the county commissioners approve the rezoning will Bruce Giddens, Clallam County Parks and Fair supervisor, pursue the next step of scheduling a volunteer work party to further prep the site, he said. Giddens had hoped to have the disc golf course implemented by the end of the year, but completion of the

The YMCA adopted a strategic plan in 2010. Cronk said that with an active Boys & Girls Club and SARC healthy, they only would access Sequim by invitation. But now with the YMCA as a possible managing company for SARC, Cronk said they must see if there’s a market and what the capital fees are for the building. In the short term, he said there about $500,000-$1.5 million in needs at SARC. “ We’ve identified about a

“(The city) was prepared to proceed to trial with every confidence that the jury would agree that the of f icers acted lawf ully based on the resistance and aggression demonstrated by Mr. Weimer captured on the surveillance video,” McMahon said in a statement.

He confirmed that this complaint led to an investigation to see if the police officer, Grant Dennis, used excessive force. It wa s deemed he did not. Sequim Police Chief Bill Dickinson told the Gazette after the incident that Dennis used a “reasonable use of force allowed by law.” He sa id sur veilla nce video from the restaurant shows the two incidents between Weimer and Boynton and that officers felt threatened.

Other local issues include eight proposed County Charter amendments, a Sequim School District bond and a Clallam County Fire District No. 1 levy. “Our goal in producing the printed Local Voters’ Pamphlet is to inform and engage voters on the local level because both are crucial to the electoral process,” Clallam County Auditor Shoona Riggs said. “In doing so, we are also setting a county precedent to continue creating printed voters’ pamphlets for future general elections.” Copies of the 2015 Local Voters’ Pamphlet will also be available at various locations across the county, including all city halls and public libraries, and in the Auditor’s Office at the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St. in Port Angeles. An online Voters’ Guide is also accessible via the Auditor’s website at www.clallam.net/elections. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3. Ballots will be mailed to all registered voters in Clallam County today, Oct. 14.

Following the survey, he said they’ll create a business plan and determine the gaps. “There are multiple paths for SARC to be successful,” he said. If the YMCA were to manage SARC eventually, Cronk said it likely wouldn’t create a new taxing district so that SARC can still go to voters if needed.

The video speaks for itself.” If the case did go to trial, Black said he was prepared to bring in witnesses such as Oasis owner Dale Dunning and Boynton to testify that the incidents between the two patrons didn’t rise to a level of assault that led to the incident between Weimer and the police officers. “The surveillance video doesn’t have sound and there’s no one there interpreting it,” he said. “The cell phone video is clear and has sound.” Dick in son reiterated

that the decision to settle was made by the city’s insurance company because it was the less expensive route to go rather through a trial. “We expected to prevail,” he said. “From a business standpoint, I understand their reasoning to save the money from a trial but we also lose the ability to vindicate ourselves.” Dickinson said he, the three officers involved, Dennis, Rick Larsen and Maris Turner were going to testify along with the sergeant who investigated the excessive force complaint. “The officers were exonerated,” Dickinson said.

David Wayne Waterbury February 20, 1927 - October 7, 2015 Beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather and husband, David Wayne Waterbury, 88, passed away on October 7, 2015 at his home in Newberg, Oregon. Wayne was born in Yakima, Washington on February 20, 1927 and grew up on his family farm in Moxee, Washington. After graduating from Moxee High School he served in the U.S. Navy in World War II. Upon arriving home from the war, Wayne married his childhood sweetheart, Gladys Schmidt. Wayne started as a logging truck driver and later became a Washington State Patrolman. He was known for being a jokester, with a quip for every occasion, for being outgoing and curious and as a friend to all. Wayne was active in the community as a member of VFW, Elks Lodges in Yakima and Sequim and as Past Master of the Yakima Freemasons. Gladys and Wayne also enjoyed traveling with their trailer club, playing pinochle with friends and attending the First Reformed Church. After retirement, Gladys and Wayne moved to Sequim, Washington, where they lived for many years. In November 2014, Wayne and Gladys moved to Newberg, Oregon to be closer to their son David and daughter-in-law Corinne. In Newberg, Wayne and Gladys were looked after by their wonderful caregivers and kept as comfortable as possible. Wayne was preceded in death by Gladys, who passed away on March 24, 2015. They were married for 67 Years. Wayne is survived by his brother, Dallas Waterbury; his children David (Corinne), Brad (Kim) and Wende (Wayne) Richardson; grandchildren Tyler (Dannielle) and Bryan Richardson, Megan (Kale) Colyar and Lauren Waterbury; and great-grandchildren Sawyer and Aleighia Colyar. Wayne was also beloved by his large extended family and friends in Yakima, Moxee and Sequim. He is being interred at the Terrace Heights Cemetery in Yakima, next to Gladys. A private service with the family will be held in the spring.

Martin J. Scott

January 20, 1930 - August 24, 2015 Devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather Martin Scott passed peacefully from this earth surrounded by his family on Monday, August 24, 2015. He was born to Martin and Jessie Scott in Kansas City, Missouri. He had two older sisters and one brother: Barbra (Gordon) Heavner, Jean (Robert) Masek (deceased), and LeRoy Scott (deceased). Marty married the love of his life, Shirley (Smith) Scott on October 20, 1952, also born in Missouri. Both families made their way to California early in their lives. They met in Big Bear, California. They had three children, Penny (Rex) Berneking, Michael (Phyllis) Scott and Kathryn (Mark) Dodge, followed by 11 grandchildren and 6 great- grandchildren. They hosted a Peruvian exchange student, Lucila Andersen, adding another daughter, two more grandchildren, and two more greatgrandchildren. A savvy business owner and talented automotive mechanic, Marty began his career in the automotive industry in Big Bear. He owned and operated his own business throughout his life, with a service station in San Bernardino, California; Scott’s Auto Parts in Salem, Oregon and then National Auto Parts in Centralia, Washington, where he retired. Marty loved water skiing with family and lifelong friends. One of his other joys was flying. He starting flying in 1951. He owned several planes over the years and flew many search missions as a Captain in the Civil Air Patrol out of Centralia including missions after the Mt. St. Helens’ eruption. He served in the U.S. Army 38th Infantry 2nd Division during the Korean War saving his trapped platoon by leading them successfully to safety. He was a lifelong member of the Elks participating in travel clubs and community service projects in Salem, Centralia and Sequim. He will be missed tremendously by his wife, family and friends. At his request, there will be no formal service. Please consider donating to Lewis County Washington Wing Civil Air Patrol, (www.wawg.cap.gov) or the Washington Chapter Alzheimer’s Association (www.alz.org/alzwa) in lieu of flowers.

Newspapers make headlines, too Last week saw a changing of the guard in media circles here on the Olympic Peninsula. You may have missed it, but more than likely — if you are a regular local newspaper reader — you did not. We celebrated (and mourned) the retirement of longtime journalist John Brewer, editor/publisher of the Peninsula Daily News for the past 18 years and, for the past four years, for this publication, the Forks Forum and Home-Land Magazine real estate publication. John steps away from a five-decade-long career in the business, earning a well-deserved break. I write “break” because it’s still to be seen if he can actually stay away from the newsroom. I thought that, like several other lifelong scribes, John EDITOR’S would be a permanent fixture in his Port Angeles CORNER office, always keeping an Michael Dashiell eye on the inner workings, the printed product and digital offerings along with numerous community projects he’s been involved in while at the PDN. It was with some surprise and disappointment when I heard he’d be stepping down some weeks ago, though the grin on his face as he accepted well wishes and glad tidings from former and current staffers last week said it all. I wish him well. I didn’t get to work with John until the last four years of his PDN career, after Sound Publishing purchased the three newspapers on the Olympic Peninsula in October 2011. Until then, the PDN was our BREWER source of healthy competition, and therefor John was an enemy of sorts. Not long after the purchase he became my boss, and since then we’ve developed a working relationship I’ll be forever grateful for, as I’ve learned from one of the top journalists I’m likely to ever meet. With John’s retirement, along with PDN WARD executive editor Rex Wilson’s departure in August, so begins a new era for the peninsula’s media. Newcomer Terry Ward now oversees the PDN and the two weeklies for Sound Publishing Inc., the largest publisher of community newspapers in the state. I had a chance to catch up with Terry a bit at the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association (WNPA) conference last weekend in Everett. It seems it’s an exciting time for newspapers, as I’m always reminded when I attend this annual conference. While some of our time was spent celebrating good journalism from across the state (see local awards below), we also talked about how to serve our communities better. We learned about success stories from across the state, how community newspapers are making the leap from print only to a mix of print and digital, how papers are surviving — and thriving — in the midst of all this blinding technological advancement. We hope you continue reading, interacting and giving us feedback as we grow into whatever the future holds for the Gazette and our fellow newspapers.

Gazette earns statewide awards

At the aforementioned WNPA conference, your Sequim Gazette earned some hardware for strong journalistic efforts. The WNPA’s Better Newspaper Contest recognizes top submittals from April 2014-March 2015 in a number of categories in news/editorial, photography, web, advertising and general excellence — a category in which newspapers are judged on a number of criteria. Some awards are based on circulation and the association has four divisions — four being the largest. The Sequim Gazette earned third place in general excellence in Group III, the second-largest circulation group. (The Mason County Journal took first place, the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Endorsing Stoffer, Henrikson, Short for school board It’s important to me who serves on the Sequim School District School Board of Directors. Why? I am a mother, grandmother and veteran of the district! The leadership and commitment of our school board members directly reflect the health of our schools and education system. We need people who have the seasoned experience, time and energy to commit to the Sequim School Board. I feel I can speak on this issue because I worked in the Sequim School District for 34 years, mostly at the district level. I can attest to the importance of an effectively run, cohesive board of directors. For these reasons, I am fully endorsing board candidates Jim Stoffer, Robin Henrikson and Heather Short. They bring a tremendous balance of experience, proven leadership, community involvement, parenting background and commitment to run for the school board. All are parents of students who attend, have attended or will attend Sequim Schools. Each has an educational and vocational background that complements what we need for balance on our school board.

Plenty of alternative parking available It was with much concern that I read the letter entitled “Watch Where You Park” from Helga McGhee in last week’s Sequim Gazette. As the adjoining property owner (and landlord of approximately 20 downtown commercial tenants) I felt compelled to respond publicly to reassure the community that there are plenty of alternative parking spaces available in downtown Sequim where there is no danger of being towed. Legally speaking, I own 55 spaces in the alley between Washington Street and Bell Street (the Sequim Gazette block). I have never considered any of these parking spaces to be “private.” Nor do I make any attempt to “police” them to ensure that those parking there are only frequenting the businesses of my tenants. In fact, my philosophy during the past 20 years has been quite the opposite of Ms. McGhee’s. I consider all of the spaces I own to be open and available to all; her tenants, my tenants and others businesses as well. This helps a downtown to prosper.

SEQ

I believe most people — residents of Sequim and one-time visitors alike — will frequent multiple businesses during their visit and over the course of the year. That is what visiting a downtown is about. To continue to enjoy a thriving downtown business core, those of us fortunate enough to be land owners in the heart of Sequim need to pool and share our basic resources such as parking. I believe this type of cooperation between land owners is essential to sustaining a robust downtown. I truly hope that Ms. McGhee’s actions do not actually cause harm to the businesses of those tenants she is so apparently trying to protect. I fear that by displaying such aggressive signage and invoking such a rigid, unfriendly policy as “towing trespassing vehicles at the owner’s expense,” some could be offended by that type of attitude and may simply choose to go elsewhere to purchase their yarn or to eat. Such a decision will most certainly be detrimental to all. In closing, I do not believe Sequim has a “major conflict” (McGhee’s words) with lack of parking spaces. I want to encourage all community members and visitors alike to continue to visit downtown Sequim to shop or dine and park in any of “my” spaces, regardless of the

business or restaurant you choose to visit. I promise you — your vehicle will not be towed! Brown M. Maloney Sequim

Supporting Hendrikson, Short for board

Robin Henrikson and Heather Short both have educational backgrounds that qualify them to be good school board directors. Heather Short is a veterinarian and the owner of Sequim Animal Hospital. As a local small business owner, she knows our community. Robin Hendrikson teaches in the education department at Seattle Pacific University and knows how school districts function. Both of them have young children in our schools and know what our schools are like. While they are team players that will improve the effectiveness of any group, their most important quality is their commitment to the community and its students. When you get your ballot in the mail tomorrow, please join me in electing them to the Sequim School Board. John Bridge Sequim Bridge is a current Sequim School Board member.

candidates who send mixed messages when they fight for the rights of the unborn and passively accept murders of the young. Sure, I support background checks for gun owners, I support vastly improved and compassionate mental health services that assure access and I support laws that prosecute the gun seller who sold the gun that killed the innocent and failed to check the killer’s background. Many of us agree with all or some; some with none; regardless, either way we are powerless until we crack the political paralysis.

We must do it. Our political leaders are as paralyzed in the face of guns as the shocked Roseburg students crowded in a circle waiting … just waiting.

The fix has been in the last three bond issues, including the one on the Nov. 3 ballot. Sequim school officials never lost sight of the priority of safety among the upgrades and construction requests; neither should we. Insisting on basic safety measures for our schools by voting yes is one thing we can do. Neal says it is the community that will make kids safe. Sequim students are told that it is better to over-report than miss something. Be alert, if you see something, say something. Seems easy enough but starts to get hard when the solutions go to requirements for gun ownership or providing mental health services. One thing we can do is withhold our vote for any candidate who believes it is acceptable and/or necessary for America to be the most violent industrial country on earth; withhold our vote for any candidate who cannot imagine and propose solutions that begin to prevent the human carnage.

can actually support modern science instruction with sufficient access to technology, adequate and sufficient lab stations, and rooms that can be quickly secured in the event of a lockdown. The school district is a good steward of public funds. Through active financial management, we paid off the 1996 bond three years early, saving $300,000 of interest costs in the process. We survived the Great Recession without asking for more taxes in 2011 as the state Legislature allowed. At the same time, we maintained low class sizes, cut class fees for high school students and devoted more money to elementary supplies to ease the burden on our families. The school district is a good investment of public money. The graduation rate in 2010 was 74 percent. In 2015, it was 85 percent, a 15-percent increase in five years. This bond proposal is not about maintenance. Our buildings are maintained and functioning the best they possibly can. This bond proposal is about taking care of the students we have right now by providing safe and secure buildings with capacity to provide a modern education. This bond proposal respects the community, by asking for a total local schools tax rate that is less than what we were all paying in 2013 and still providing the building improvements our students need. The State of Washington will not provide the buildings for us. We, as a community, have that responsibility. Thank you for reading and please see the Sequim School District website (www.sequim.k12.wa.us) for more information.

The Sequim School District bond proposal before voters on the Nov. 3 ballot is the result of long-term planning that began in 2008. Two committees of citizen volunteers conducted planning work in 2008 and 2013, each time Guest bringing proposed buildO pinion ing improvements to the school district board of Brian Lewis directors. This bond proposal is based on comprehensive, on-going study of building conditions and current and future needs. Needs like more than one bathroom per 60 students as at Haller Elementary. Needs like a dedicated gymnasium space and permanent classrooms at both Greywolf and Haller Elementary so students are not forced to leave a secure site to travel to the next. Needs like a single point of entry school building to promote secure schools, not the 29 separate points of entry at Haller Elementary or the 40 separate points of entry at the high school. Needs like a consolidated high school campus to restore precious instructional time lost due to travel between dispersed buildings and ensure the safety of students who cross busy Fir Street multiple times daily. Band and choir students at the high school can lose 30 or more hours of instructional time every year for each band and choir class in which they participate. I personally have witnessed near misses between cars and students as they cross Fir Street in less than favorable conditions like darkness and icy or wet roads. Needs like proper science classrooms that

‘Drive’ garners $6K for local health care On Sept. 24, the Sunland Women’s Golf Association and Sunland Lady Niners joined together to sponsor “Drive for the Cure” Golf Tournament. This event benefits Olympic Medical Center to pay for breast cancer detection and treatment for men and women in need here on the Olympic Peninsula. Overall, $6,000 was raised thanks to donations from participants, members of SWGA, Sunland Lady Niners, sale of raffle baskets and an openhearted, anonymous donor who matched $1 for every $3 of the funds raised. Here, Judy Flanders, chairman of Drive for a Cure, presents the check of $6,000 to Olympic Medical Center representative Jeremy Gilchrist. Heading up the tournament were Flanders, Judy Kelley and Nonie Dunphy. There were 67 players, including visiting players and men. It was a great success for all participants as well as for the Olympic Medical Center Foundation, event organizers said.

Local Master Gardeners Jeanette StehrGreen and Judy English were among the guest speakers at the Washington State University 2015 Master Gardener Advanced-Education Conference in Vancouver on Sept. 17. English talked about sharing gardening information on the radio and Stehr-Green reported on the Growing Healthy Project. ENGLISH Live and pre-recorded radio has been an effective means for local Master Gardeners to share timely gardening advice with a large listening audience in Clallam County. On the last Monday of each month, KONP Radio 1450 AM presents a live, STEHRhour-long gardening show GREEN hosted by Todd Ortloff with Master Gardeners Judy English, Jeanette Stehr-Green and Bill Wrobel. Twice weekly, KSQM 91.5 FM airs short gardening segments that were pre-recorded by a host of different Clallam County Master Gardeners. Growing Healthy is an effort to help lowincome people in Clallam County who have diabetes, or who are at-risk for diabetes, eat healthier, get more exercise and feel better through gardening. The locally designed program, originally funded by the American Medical Association Foundation, brings Clallam County Master Gardeners together with unlikely partners including Volunteers in Medicine of the Olympics free medical clinic, First Step Family Support Center and Port Angeles Community Garden. Both presentations were invited talks by conference organizers. “For our small program to get this recognition is incredible,” Lorrie Hamilton, Clallam County Master Gardener program coordinator, said. English has been a Master Gardener since 2005. Stehr-Green has been a Master Gardener since 2003 and was the 2012 Clallam County Veteran Master Gardener of the Year. Both have been recipients of the Golden Trowel Award, local recognition for years of outstanding service to the community and the Master Gardener organization.

Local Mad Hatters host their biggest ‘Tea Party’ ever More than 200 turn out to celebrate breast cancer survivors by PATRICIA MORRISON COATE Sequim Gazette

It was an affair of finery this year at the 18th annual Mad Hatters Tea Party on Friday, Oct. 9, at Sunland Golf & Country Club in Sequim. Instead of hats for comic relief as in years past, the 235 women who attended were decked out in a profusion of pink head gear from cloches to cowgirl hats. There were hats with classic lines and boisterous flower-powered ones as well. Mistress of ceremonies Jan Kummet said this was the highest attendance ever for the nonprofit that raises funds for Olympic Medical Cancer Center in Sequim

and Operation Uplift in Port Angeles, which helps breast cancer patients in need. “We’re celebrating the heck out of people who have survived cancer,” Kummet said, her voice tinged with emotion. “It was a banner year for contributions, too,” said Thelma Sullock, a Mad Hatter team member. “The wishing well raised $1,900, a record.” Wearing his requisite pink visor and pink tie, Dr. Tom Kummet, medical oncologist, director of OMCC and the featured speaker, gave a tongue-in-cheek presentation on genetics and cancer, telling the women in his audience, yes, yes, he knew they possessed a vast knowledge of molecular biology, but he’d just do a little reviewing just the same. The audience played along but also learned some basic facts of the role of gene mutations in cancer. “There are 180 billion chemical reaction chances in your cells for everything to go right but when it doesn’t, mutations happen and the genetic information in cells tells them to grow and grow — that’s cancer,” Kummet explained. He noted that two groups of women should be tested for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes: If they’re under 40 and have had breast cancer and if they’re under 50 and have a close relative who’s had breast cancer, such as a mother, sister, aunt or grandmother. “It’s a miracle that we all

don’t have cancer — it’s a tribute to ourselves because our bodies put up a fight to maintain our DNA in a normal fashion,” Kummet said. InspirationalspeakerRanay Yarian, a health care professional diagnosed in June 2013 with breast cancer, told her story, which she called “Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride,” through a poignant slideshow chronicling her journey through discovering a lump, then diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy that resonated with the many breast cancer survivors in the audience. Yarian is the community outreach manager at Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center in Gilbert, Ariz., part of the Phoenix metropolitan area. “I knew dealing with cancer was going to be a head game and I learned social circles are very important to your health, laughter is the best medicine

and exercise is a wonder drug.” Janice Parks serenaded the audience in her powerful soprano voice with “Broadway Baby” and “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off.” Mad Hatter team members were Elaine Barnhart, Pennie Dickin, Ginny Friess, Helga Greer, Joni McKeta, Gail Nelson, Vonnie Putnam (chairman), Thelma Sullock and Stephanie Swensson.

If there’s one thing that’s been consistent in Steve Stripp’s life, it’s been trains, he says. Wall to wall in his home there are multiple train layouts from the Christmas train near the front door to the room dedicated to parts and models to the the ongoing project he’s tackling in a back room. His latest project is helping to continue the North Olympic Peninsula Railroaders’ annual Train Show & Swap Meet this weekend at the Sequim Prairie Grange. The show features model trains

of all sizes, running train sets, hands-on train sets, vendors, giveaways and more. But through the years and the effort, what does railroading mean to Stripp? “It’s a peaceful time,” he said. “It’s a chance to go back.” He’s told his time with trains started at age 2 living in Berkeley, Calif., when he received a wooden train set. “I kept it so clean I got another one for Christmas at age 3,” he said. From there his passion continued to grow. He recalls growing up near a train station and getting to see a steam engine from the inside for the first time with a

His collection is far from over though, as Stripp, a retired early childhood development educator, says he continues to hunt online and at swap meets for deals. One focus of his time now is the ongoing train room project which he pegs at about one quarter done. By the time he finishes the four sections with his friend and fellow club member Steve Hauff, the set will be 8 feet by 14 feet. They designed the set to be relatively lightweight combining Stripp’s Märklin trains and Hornby trains. Even though it’s only partially finished with meticulous wiring and model buildings and railways, the project already has bridged

New deaf support group forms Members set goals to experience more public activities by PATRICIA MORRISON COATE Sequim Gazette

People who are deaf have a lot to talk about and what better way to share stories, discuss current events and be visible in the hearing world than to organize activities and social events. Since 2008 when it began at The Buzz, the Sequim Deaf Coffee House has been an outlet for conversation. However, this summer SDCH founders Michele Mangiantini, Gerilee Gustason and Diane Dickson, plus Karen Pederson of Port Angeles, decided to

go for a fresh start and create a new group. “It was important to us that our name define who we are. We decided that our name would be ‘Deaf Events and Friends – Olympic Peninsula’ or DEAFOP for short,” said Mangiantini. “Our goals are to get out and experience new things, attend events, as well as visit our fellow neighboring deaf communities. We wanted to make sure to include people from all over the Olympic Peninsula, not just limit ourselves by having a city in our name. We opened it up to ‘friends’ so as not to limit our group to just deaf persons.” The women decided that to keep things interesting they needed to have more group interaction in monthly events; to have individuals from the group plan a monthly activity that they would like to share. Attendees at the first DEAFOP event in September pause for a group photo. Submitted photo 5A1424192

It’s time for Clallam and Jefferson county poets to show their talent by entering the Rainshadow Poetry Competition 2016. Last year, the competition was such a success that the contest, public reading and published anthology will happen again in 2016. Co-creators of the 2015 contest, Ruth Marcus and Judy Duncan, announced last year, “Our goal is to make this an annual collaborative community event.” Last year’s contest honored the memory of the late Jim Fisher, a well-known poet and professor at Peninsula College who inspired many new writers. The Rainshadow Poetry Competition is open to poets of every level — beginners, intermediates and experienced/published poets. Writers of all ages may enter, including elementary through high school, community elders and everyone in between. Last year there were 56 winning poets published in a perfect-bound anthology. Rainshadow Poets will hold the public reading of winning poems at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 1, at Olympic Theatre Arts, 414 N. Sequim Ave. in Sequim. Entrance to this event is free. Donations are encouraged to support Olympic Theatre Arts and the Rainshadow Poetry Competition. Also, Rainshadow Poetry is offering three writing workshops to help writers get started. They will take place on Jan. 4 and Jan. 8 at the Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave., and Jan. 6 at the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St. Register for one or all three free workshops. Watch for upcoming details on the workshops. Poets may send up to three poems. They must be typed. Deadline for entries is 5 p.m. Jan. 22, 2016. The entry fee is $5 for students, $10 for adults and $7 for seniors 65 and older. Entries are blind-judged by a panel of judges. Each poem entered can be a maximum of 30 lines (including title and blank lines). Poets are invited to enter their “best” of any theme. Winning entries will be published in the 2016 Rainshadow Poetry Anthology and it will be available for $9.95. Winners receive one free copy.

DEAFOP

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is just around the corner

From page B-1

“Each member has special interests and hobbies or has experienced something that they might want to have others experience,” Mangiantini said. “Thinking it is a great way to get to know our friends and the ideas are endless, we are hoping to create some new friends and experience some things that we might not otherwise have experienced. “Attendance is not required so people can feel free to attend when they want without judgment to a particular activity. For now we are asking the DEAFOP group to start providing their ideas for activities and between the four of us leaders, we have a handful of ideas for activities in mind to keep the group busy, Mangiantini said. In September the group had its kick-off picnic hosted by Karen and Robert Pederson at their home in Port Angeles. On Oct. 11, about a dozen DEAFOP members met at the Crab Festival’s Crab Central as an informal gathering of friends to share conversation and crab. On Nov. 17 DEAFOP will be helping/serving the Port Angeles Food Bank as a Thanksgiving group function. In December, members plan to caravan to Bremerton to see an ASL presentation of “Shrek” and in January, Dickson will host a card making class for the ladies while her husband John will host the men in conversation and a game of darts at their home in the Deer Park area. The women arrived to the world of deafness in several different ways, also typical of the deaf community. Gustason, a former sign language teacher at Peninsula College, became deaf after a childhood bout of meningitis; Dickson was born hard of hearing and became deaf after multiple colds affected her ears, and Pederson

was born deaf. “I had the chicken pox and the mumps in a very short time period when I was a young child so I grew up ‘hard of hearing.’ I gradually lost all of my hearing by age 40,” said Mangiantini, who’s now 52. She met and married her hearing husband, Dean, and they live in Port Angeles. “My husband and I learned sign language starting at Bellevue Community College for one ASL (American Sign Language) class and then at Peninsula College for a couple of years and were looking for an outlet to continue training, practicing and using our newfound language. I considered myself proficient in sign language after becoming friends with Rusti Clark of Port Angeles, who was born deaf and was attending sign classes at PC with and in support of her hearing husband. “Having a deaf friend made ASL easier to understand for me but my husband had the same training and still struggles with reading signs. I am still learning, too, and sometimes I have to ask those that have been using ASL/sign language their whole lives to slow down for me.” Out and about as a group, Mangiantini said reactions from the public are generally warm. “Yes, there is curiosity and

people will stare but not usually to the point of being rude. Facial expressions can be hard for people to grasp and often will draw some equally strange facial expressions from those that don’t understand that sign language uses them as a part of sentence structure and in place of adjectives, etc. You don’t have to be proficient in ASL to communicate with the deaf or hard of hearing but it sure helps to know even just a little. “Some kids are taught the sign alphabet in school and are so anxious to use it when the opportunity presents itself. It can be heartwarming and adorably cute to have a kid run up to you and run a few letter signs at you because they noticed you were signing. Just like the English language, ASL has creep to it too and signs will change with the times or be different in one state, town or community so even the oldest of signers need to continue to educate themselves to keep up the conversation. “It is good for us to get out and expose the mainstream to how we communicate with each other so that they in turn will know how to communicate with us and not feel so nervous about trying,” Mangiantini concluded. E-mail her at deanman@ olypen.com for more details about DEAFOP’s activities.

Unstoppable at stopping SHS sophomore GK Henninger becoming a safety net for Wolves by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Despite a few more losses, the Lady Wolves soccer team (0-6, 2-7-1) showed they can kick it with the best of them.

Sequim had back-to-back road games last week on Oct. 6 in Bremerton (3-3 in league, 5-4-1 overall) and Oct. 7, at Olympic (5-1, 6-2-2) in Silverdale. The first game didn’t go

as planned as the Knights blanked the Wolves 3-0, but Sequim recovered the next night. Olympic, tied for first in the Olympic League, came out on the offensive taking 10 shots in the first half and 15 in the second. In front of those 25 shots though was sophomore goalie Claire Henninger.

“It was really intense,” Henninger said. “It surprised them. They didn’t expect us to play as well.” Henninger and the Wolves’ staunch defenders like Mattie Clark, Audrey Hughes, Claire Payne and Chloie Sparks forced an 0-0 end to regulation and two overtime periods. The Wolves played most

of the game on the defensive end, Henninger said. “They had a lot of really nice shots but I was getting my hands there first,” she said. Head coach Brittany Murdach said Henninger kept the Wolves in the game. “(It was) an unbelievable performance,” Murdach said. “She was unstoppable.” In overtime, Sequim was given a chance to win with the Wolves’ Clark, Adare McMinn and Nathalie Torres

Sequim sweeps key matchup with PA, PT Rider girls no answer for Wolves’ depth Sequim Gazette staff

For Sequim’s boys, it was another stong finish. For SHS’s girls, it was a key win against a tough rival. The Wolves’ cross country squads completed their Olympic League schedules unbeaten with a sweep of Port Angeles and host Port Townsend on Oct. 7, with the only the postseason remaining. The Wolves’ girls, who lost to Port Angeles by 17 team points in 2014, upended the Riders this fall with 29 team points to Port Angeles’ 38 (low score wins); Port Townsend was third with 59 points. PA sophomore Gracie Long led all girls with a 19:52 finish over the 5,000-meter course to edge Sequim Sequim’s Audrey Shingleton races to a fourth place finish as the Wolves sweep Port Angeles and Port senior Waverly Shreffler by about 17 seconds, but Sequim’s depth proved to Townsend in an Olympic League showdown on Oct. 7 in Port Townsend.

be too much for the Riders. SHS senior Audrey Shingleton (21:53) was fourth, sophomore Kiara Pierson took fifth (22:03) and junior Elizabeth Rosales was sixth (22:45). SHS seniors Emily Webb (23:55, 12th) and Alexis Cromer (24:12) closed out the win for Sequim. Port Angeles’ girls won the league meet last season with Sequim taking second, but the Riders lost two of their top three runners from 2014. On the boys’ side, Sequim dominated the varsity race, taking the top six spots and seven of the top eight. Leading the way were seniors Brendon Despain, Chris Jeffko, Jackson Oliver and C.J. Daniels and freshman Ash Francis, who finished within a second-and-a-half of each other at 17:27 to 17:28.5. Wendall Lorenzen (sixth, 17:44) and Christian Ash (eighth, 18:31) bookended Port Angeles freshman Cameron Butler’s seventh-place finish.

COLLEGE SOCCER

Sequim Gazette staff

No letdown here. After edging rival Everett on Oct. 3, Peninsula’s women earned a pair of big wins against North Division opponents last week. On Oct. 10, the Pirates (8-1-0 in conference play, 13-1-0 overall) got three scores in each half in a dominating, 6-0 shutout of Whatcom at Sigmar Field in Port Angeles. Audrey Barnham had two goals while Elizabeth Hornsey, Ellie Small, Myu Ban and Lexi Krieger added one score apiece as Peninsula recorded its conference-best 11th shutout of the season. Michele Whan led the team with two assists. Peninsula knocked off struggling Skagit Valley on Oct. 7 in a game marred by a late-game injury. The Pirates overwhelmed the host Cardinals 6-0, getting five scores in the first 35 minutes. Hoku Afong opened the scoring at the two-minute mark and Brenda Torres-Hernandez added another at nine minutes, both off Krieger assists. Ban set up Bri Jackson-Vallente for the third score while Barnham set up scores for Olivia Moore and Coby Yoshimura at 28th and 34th minutes, respectively. Moore added a goal at 49 minutes, with Kendall Howell notching the assist.

“We moved the ball well from side to side and were pretty efficient in front of the goal,” Peninsula coach Kanyon Anderson said. Coaches and referees agreed to forgo the final 20 minutes of the game after a Skagit player sustained a severe leg injury. “We are wishing her a quick and full recovery,” Anderson said. Peninsula is at Edmonds on Oct. 14 and Shoreline on Oct. 17 before a showdown with rival Everett on the road on Oct. 21.

Men fall to Whatcom With wind and rain wreaking havoc on the play, the visiting Whatcom Orcas upended North Division leader Peninsula 3-0 in Port Angeles on Oct. 10. Orca Blake Crutchfield opened the scoring at 15 minutes and Uriel Herrera and Kevin Miranda added insurance scores in the second half, with all three goals getting past backup PC keeper Josh Heckenlively, who made six saves in defeat. Whatcom keeper Hector Gutierrez tallied seven saves to record a shutout. The Pirates get a chance for revenge on Oct. 28 when the teams play in Bellingham. On Oct. 7, the host Skagit Valley Cardinals did what no other team could to Peninsula’s Pirates: hold them scoreless.

The squads played to a scoreless draw on a rainy Oct. 7 matchup in Mount Vernon. Nick Johnson had a pair of diving saves — one in each half — to help PC record its sixth shutout of the campaign. He had five saves overall. Adriano Terenzi had seven saves in recording Skagit’s second shutout of the season. Peninsula’s best chance to break the stalemate came in the

second half came from a corner kick when Joe Sorensen headed the ball down across the box only for it to hit another Peninsula player and deflect just over the crossbar. Peninsula played the final 15plus minutes down a player after Salvador Vargas picked up a red card, but the Cardinals’ Julio Vera was removed from the game 11 minutes later to even the playing field at 10-on-10. The Pirates are at Edmonds on Oct. 14, at Shoreline on Oct. 17 and at Everett on Oct. 21.

Hannah Hudson is a sophomore defensive star with Olympic College’s Rangers, leading the team in digs. The Rangers were 2-3 in conference play (tied for fourth in the North Region) and 12-15 overall after last week’s three-set win against Edmonds. She was named the North Division’s HUDSON Defensive Player of the Week in week one of the 2015 season. In 2014, Hudson’s freshman year, the Rangers went 12-0 to win the North Region (31-8 overall) and went 3-2 at the NWAC tournament. Hudson played in 71 conference games and was the team’s No. 2 defender and No. 3 server. Hudson is a 2014 graduate of Sequim High. She was named the Olympic League’s Defensive Most Valuable Player in 2013, leading the team in defense and was one of the team’s top servers. She was an all-league libero as a junior and all-league honorable mention as a sophomore in Sequim.

“I love being goalie,” she said. “I hadn’t decided if I wanted to commit to it or not to it this summer (because of knee issues). Now I love it.” While the season has had its frustrations, Henninger said the team continues to surprise people.

“We tend to play up or down with the teams in our league,” she said. “Now, we’ve got to work on keeping it high.” This week, the Wolves hosted Kingston on Oct. 13, and travel to Port Angeles on Oct. 15, and host North Mason on Saturday starting at 12:45 p.m.

Stevens won individual titles, but it was the host Sequim squad that swept the team scores. Sequim’s middle school cross country boys and girls teams topped Port Angeles’ Stevens Middle School and Blue Heron of Port Townsend on Oct. 7 at Robin Hill County Park. On the girls’ side, Stevens runners Emilia Long and Ella Holland went first and second but Sequim put six runners in the top 10 to edge out their rivals. Sequim scored 27 team points to Stevens’ 30 (low score wins). Jessica Deitzman finished the 2,400-meter course in 9:19 for third place while teammate Abby Schroeder was fourth in 9:23. Sequim’s Elenor Bryne was sixth with a 9:40 finish and Timber-

wolves Vita Olson (10:17), Mary McAleer (10:43) and Emma Sharp (10:51) went eighth, ninth and 10th, respectively. It’s the first time Sequim has topped Stevens this season, dropping the first meet by 25 points and a Sept. 30 meet by 11 points. On the boys’ side, Stevens star Thomas Shaw edged out Sequim’s Reid Parker by 0.65 of a second for the top individual spot, but Sequim’s boys took five of the top nine spots for 25 team points, out-pacing Stevens (37) and Blue Heron (68). Sequim’s Parker (8:26), Ryan Tolberd (8:32) and Mike McAleer (8:36) finished 2-3-4, while teammate Adrian Funston was close behind in seventh place at 8:51 and Zen Graham (8:53) taking ninth. The three schools are back on the course Oct. 14 at Port Angles’ Lincoln Park and Oct. 22 at The Cedars at Dungeness golf course in Sequim, before finishing the season at the North Olympic League cross country championships, set for Oct. 27 in Port Angeles.

minute of play. This was the team’s second overtime game decided on penalty kicks this season. Last season, Henninger said she saved more penalty kicks than this year but keeps her outlook positive. “When you think of the odds,

it’s 10-1 the keeper is going to get them (penalty kicks) because they (opponents) are so close,” she said. Playing goalie isn’t new for Henninger though. Last season, she took on the job after a fellow player suggested it due to Henninger playing goalie for Storm King soccer in seventh and eighth grades.

My fifth-grade year so far has been amazing. Miss Kite is the best teacher I’ve ever had. At the end of the day, she reads “Wonder.” The most interesting part of fifth grade is this book because the kid in this story has a deformed face and he is trying to make friends. People aren’t always nice to him. The other thing I like is the compliment circle. If the teacher doesn’t see something good and you see it, you can tell the class. The most challenging part of the day is social studies. My academic goal this first trimester is to score 100% on my social studies quiz. So far, this year has been awesome.

River Bess My first month of fifth grade has been like a rocket taking off to outer space. My favorite part of school is math. Everything has been clicking. The most challenging part has been writing. We’ve been working on figurative language. I am most interested in social studies right now. We have already finished our first project. My group completed our assignment last week. What I hope I can improve is to increase my reading level: I want to read the Harry Potter series. My goal is to finish the Dork Diaries series by the end of the year. I already read about three or four of the books so far. Angel Wagner

SEQUIM MIDDLE SCHOOL Steven Boots, Leif Hendricksen and Tracy Barnes combined history classes during fifth period on Oct. 6 to allow students to participate together in a “Colony Fair” hosted in Mr. Boots and Mrs. Barnes’ classrooms. Students learned all about the original Thirteen Colonies, which were founded between 1607 and 1732, and were located on the east coast of North America, stretching from New England to the northern border of the Floridas. Students created informative brochures to exchange their newfound knowledge with each other.

Who can you help? It is getting to be the time of year when nonprofit agencies seek your help. Actually, nonprofits need your help all year long. Unfortunately, this also is a time when fewer people are giving to nonprofits. I hope this is the situation in places other than Clallam County. Why do nonprofits need your help? Nonprofits work to help needy families or causes but usually have very low costs to do this. They also usually don’t have income they can plan on using other than what is donated to them. Many nonprofits attempt to reach their fundraising goals by writing grants. This is a time-consuming

Groups they fund include the American Red Cross, Boy & Girls Clubs, Concerned Citizens, Dungeness Valley Health and Wellness, First Step, Forks Abuse, Healthy Families, Lutheran Community Services, Parenting Matters, Reach Out and Read, Salvation Army and others. Currently there are over 24 partner agencies. They also fund 2-1-1, Great Beginnings (parenting classes) and the Literacy Council which gives free books to children in the

For the 2019 freshman class, the nominations for the females are Erin Gordon, Nadia Martin and Bobbi Sparks. The male nominees were Colin Neal, Nate Despain and Jarrett Allen. For the sophomore class of 2018, Andrea Albaugh, Ayleeann Bennett and Adare McMinn were nominated. For the gentlemen, Payton Glasser, Hayden Gresli and Bailey King were selected. The junior class of 2017 has Jordan Bentz, Rose Erickson and Tatum Jensen for the ladies. Jade Arnold, Curtis Beery and Grant Pierson also were selected. Seniors had twice as many nominees as the rest of the classes with Allie Bean, McKenzie Bentz, Karen Chan, Morgan King, Katie Rogers and Emily Webb for the women, and representing the men are Taylor Bullock, Ian Dennis, Evan Hurn, Jack Shea and Zachary Wakefield. The final Homecoming royalty for 2015 was voted on one week ago by the classes and they will be presented Friday, Oct. 9, at the Homecoming game on Friday, Oct. 16, when the Sequim Wolves take on the Port Angeles Roughriders at 7 p.m. in the Sequim stadium!

Call them to find out what kind of help they might need. Call United Way and ask what help they need. The Clallam County Literacy Council needs money but it also needs volunteers to help distribute books, check in books, organize book contests, help nonreaders and a lot more. You can volunteer for meetings or for whatever part you are interested in helping with. You really can make a difference. There are a great many people in Clallam County who really need help. When you see that the majority of

the elementary schools in the county have over 40 percent of their families who qualify for free and reduced lunches, it gives you a quick way to see the number of families whose income is severely restricted. These are families who need help. When you go to the food banks and see the people in need of additional food for their family, you see more families in need of help. Giving is a way of helping people who need it. It is a way of sharing. Your contribution doesn’t have to be a great amount. Giving any amount helps someone.

Rhythm, blues and plenty of soul are to ignite community support for the Olympic Discovery Trail on Saturday, Oct. 17. Gordon Yancey, lead vocalist of FreddyPink, a 10-piece Seattlebased band sure to inspire dancing, has collaborated with members of the Peninsula Trails Coalition to host a benefit event aimed at the Olympic Discovery Trail including its eastern extension (the Larry Scott Memorial Trail) that runs through Jefferson County. “This event is the biggest we’ve ever been a part of,” Chuck Preble, PTC member and Jamestown S’Klallam tribe liaison, said. “It’s part of a larger effort to bring awareness to the need to connect the trail.” The all volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit formed in 1988 based on a central vision to design and construct a non-motorized transportation path from Port Townsend to the seashore of the Pacific Ocean at La Push — a nearly 130-mile goal. PTC co-vice president Jeff Selby expects the benefit will provide

As a Port Townsend resident, Yancey understands the long-shared vision among members and volunteers of the PTC. “I ride the trail daily,” he said. “Every time I’m on it, I think about what a gift it is.” Yancey took his appreciation for the trail and offered to partner with the PTC to help raise money, expo-

county. “The concert will benefit the entire PTC, but I think it will be very helpful in augmenting the work on the Larry Scott Memorial Trail,” Selby said. Planning and constructing the trail between Four Corners and Discovery Bay is of special interest because without it trail users must travel along State Route 20, which is considered “dangerous,” Preble said, noting the 45-mph speed limit and little shoulder room. Beyond the safety concerns, PTC members seek to incorporate both Jefferson and Clallam counties because the trail is “becoming a major draw,” Preble said. “Jefferson County won’t share in the tourism and benefits if we don’t get it connected,” he said. “I think the (Jefferson County) commissioners are starting to take more notice though.” Finishing the Olympic Discovery Trail depends on many factors, such as funding and securing rights-ofway, but completion is anticipated within the next 10 years, Preble said.

sure and community support. “FreddyPink is a draw, but really it’s all about the PTC,” Yancey said. For Yancey, the opportunity to perform in his hometown is a “big deal” he said, as “being well received” in Port Townsend is of the upmost importance to him. Unlike Yancey however, who has a personal tie to the community and trail, he’s thankful to his band members who are mostly traveling from the Seattle area to make the benefit a reality. In preparing for the event catered

by Jasper’s Barbecue, businesses and individuals from Clallam and Jefferson counties have given silent auction items ranging from a trip to the Cabo Azul Resort in Mexico, a scenic flight over the San Juan Islands or Seattle, gift certificates to local restaurants to a personal training session. These items are among more than 100 goods and services donated toward the cause. Although all support is greatly appreciated, Yancey noted special thanks to Matthew Henery of Henery Hardware, Jefferson Healthcare and Port Townsend Paper Corp. — all vital sponsors of the event, he said. “The trail is about 60-70 percent complete,” Selby said. In Clallam County about 60 of the 100 miles of trail are done and about 10 miles are under construction. But in Jefferson County the trail has been slower to develop. In Jefferson County, the 7.5-mile Larry Scott Memorial Trail begins at the Port Townsend Boat Haven and ends at Milo Curry Road, just short of Four Corners — leaving about 16 miles needing to be built within the

which locals celebrated its 100th anniversary this year. Kumparak says potential train enthusiasts also can join the club to learn about trains in general, go on trips to other shows and model railroad displays and more. Kumparak said he hopes bringing in more new members to the club can keep it going, too. The club’s members keep an active presence with displays at the Dungeness River Festival, Clallam County Fair and the club’s show but to keep that going takes more dedicated craftsmen, Kumparak said. At the train show on Oct. 17-18, they’ll run four train layouts with Dick Wolf manning his G-scale (garden)

track, along with the club showing its main HO (1:87.1 scale) layout, a 9-foot by 4-foot HO layout for families and a wooden train set for smaller children. Kumparak said they try to be inclusive with their shows because some train shows don’t even have layouts. In another state, Kumparak found restrictions in other clubs such as age and interest, for example, which train type you collect. “Why restrict anyone who wants to join a club?” he asked. “Toy trains should be for anyone.” For more information on the club, call 582-1316 or e-mail stevenstripp@juno. com.

Trains in Sequim Like every year, Stripp said club members hope the train show creates new interest in railroading. John Kumparak, club vice president, said the club and show can be about educating people, too. “We want to keep the heritage of the railroads that came through here alive,” he said. At the Dungeness River Festival, Kumparak said some children who visited their booth were surprised to learn trains traveled over the Dungeness River Railroad Bridge,

In this stage of this project, we will be eliminating the redundant analog TV channels which will make more bandwidth available to provide faster internet speeds and new digital/HD TV channels. Beginning November 19th, and continuing for the next several months, we will be discontinuing the duplicated broadcast of channels in the analog format. The first twelve channels affected will no longer be available in analog after Thursday, November 19th, but will continue to be available in a digital format. Details on the channels impacted and digital equipment options will be sent to customers in the mail. This change will allow for immediate increased network capacity for improved service performance and reliability.
