Mammoth remains unearthed near Sequim Bay Remains found by eroding bluffs reveal piece of area’s history

by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

The eroding bluffs surrounding Sequim Bay are providing a peek into times long ago — 50,000-100,000 years ago.

“The fossil likely represents a Columbian mammoth (Mammuthus columbi), as that’s the species typically found in this part of Washington,” Christian Sidor, Burke Museum curator of vertebrate paleontology, said.

“The Columbian mammoth is the state fossil of Washington.”

Sidor and colleagues were able to collect the last of the remains Jan. 18.

“The fossil is currently undergoing conservation in our lab,” he said.

Clallam County commissioners to consider SARC support Board mulls a $731K grant center officials say is key to reopening, YMCA partnership

by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

A pivotal piece to reopening the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center is up for discussion.

Clallam County Administrator Jim Jones anticipates the Clallam County Board of Commissioners to deliberate over a $731,705 grant request from the SARC Board of Commissioners on Monday, Jan. 25.

Since locking the doors on Oct. 30, 2015, the center has remained in limbo while SARC officials explore a partnership with the Olympic Peninsula YMCA. The partnership, however, awaits approval on the $731,705 grant from the county’s Opportunity Fund to the SARC board for a new air handling unit and waste and water system improvements.

B&G members find keys to success with Keystone Club Club within a club looks to go to national conference

by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

One Sequim club looks to take its success national.

The Keystone Club, inside the Sequim Boys & Girls Club, recently received some statewide and national attention that has opened the door for eight teens to attend the National Keystone Conference on March 17-19, in Dallas, Texas.

In Keystone, club members participate in community service while focusing on academic success, career preparation and teen outreach. By doing these things, they meet annual benchmarks and they’ve reached “gold” status the past two years leading them to “legacy” status qualifying them for the national conference.

Lillian Allen, 18, vicepresident for the Keystone Club, said the milestone might be one of the biggest achievements for the club in its history.

“It’s big for our group to do something like this,” she said.

“We’ve never done anything like it.”

local museum to get the fossil on display soon.”

The exact age of the mammoth hasn’t been determined, but based on its size it’s estimated to be an adult.

The rocks surrounding the specimen date back between

There, Allen and seven other Sequim students join 2,500 other Keystone Club members from around the world to learn about service projects, leadership activities and college and career exploration.

“It’s three days of meeting lots of new people, taking different classes for things like career prep,” Allen said.

“It’s like going to school but not a bunch of games.

We’ll be listening to these people who have done huge things.”

Luke Kisena, Sequim Keystone Club coordinator, has helped develop the local program leading different community efforts such as painting murals and picking up trash at local beaches.

For his efforts, he was named Washington’s Keystone Club adviser of the year at the Washington State Keystone Summit in November in Tacoma. Last year, he was recognized with one of 12 national Maytag Dependable Leader awards. He’ll be one of two staff members to attend the national conference.

However, to attend the

conference club members need to raise $5,000 with another $5,000 granted already from the Sequim Boys & Girls Club.

“A lot of this is up to them,” Kisena said about fundraisers. “They continue to get the word out about it and have a lot of ideas.”

One way they are trying outreach is by continuing their mural program. Their most recent project took two weeks painting a Sequim Wolves mural north of the upper tennis courts at Sequim High School near the old swimming pool.

Teens partnered with The Home Depot, which donated paint and painting supplies for the mural and they have enough supplies for their next mural with Sequim Museum & Arts.

“We want to show the community that we continue to do stuff for it and are willing to do stuff for the Dallas trip,” Kisena said.

Additionally, teens have setup a spaghetti feed at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 22, at the Sequim Boys & Girls Club, 400 W. Fir St., and continue to sell concessions at Sequim Middle School and youth basketball games.

They’ve also setup ongoing raffles for artwork at the club and a taco bar at the Sequim Elks, 143 Port Williams Road, at 6 p.m.

Friday, March 4.

“It’s a lot of getting ourselves out there and speak-

50,000 and 100,000 years ago and represent a gravelly riverbed — giving hints as to why only the skull became unearthed.

“It follows that the animal must have died close to the river, been swept in (or scavenged), and then its skull was eventually buried,” Sidor said.

Because most fossils are

isolated and broken, Sidor notes he’s not surprised that the found fossil is a partial skull.

“In fact, teeth are the most common part to be preserved because they’re durable and don’t have much nutrition value, so they aren’t destroyed by scavengers,” he said.

Weighing about 18,00022,000 pounds, Columbian mammoths were one of the largest species of mammoth. They roamed North America, including present day Sequim, during the Pleistocene epoch.

Although it’s difficult to know exactly what Sequim was like when the newly discovered mammoth was alive, Sidor said, Sequim was colder and drier 50,000100,000 years ago.

Several other mammoth and mastodon fossils have been found on the Olympic Peninsula, but each one “provides an important piece of data on our region’s natural history,” Sidor said.

“One example of what we can learn from fossil occurrences like this one is that it helps us understand the timing of advance and retreat

New Year’s revelations. Another year and still you have dental problems. You decided to do something about it last year but somehow it didn’t happen. That is because deciding something does not always include an action step of doing something.

We recommend the small action step of calling for an appointment to examine your status and any needs you have in the realm of dentistry. If you do that much we will help you with the next steps. Be it tooth replacement or smile enhancement, we can help you identify your needs, wants and solutions.

Allen said she attributes a lot to Keystone and the Boys & Girls Club.

“I have a lot of awards and accomplishments from Keystone and I think it could help me get (college) scholarships,” she said. “(Keystone) is really fun. I hope that it brings kids to the club. It gives me a place to hang out but the opportunity to do something important, too.”

Other Keystone Club members looking to attend the convention include Haelee Andres, Cortney Gosset, Domonique King, Trey Mannor, Faith McConnaughey, Madison Morris and Dylan Perreira.

by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Their numbers may be small but the future is bright for three Olympic Peninsula Academy students.

Lily Engeset, 14, Deven Biehler, 13, and Melanie Byrne, 12, make up Sequim’s team this year for the Washington State National Engineers Week Future City Competition. They’ll present a model, speech, essay and computer simulation of their city “Fanrong” against other teams from the Seattle area, Portland, Ore., and Fairbanks, Alaska, on Jan. 23, at the DigiPen Institute of Technology in Seattle. Winners advance to the national competition in Washington, D.C. Deven, in his third year of competing, is the only returning competitor for Sequim and his first year they took second. This is Lily and Mela-

nie’s first time competing.

“It’s the last year I could do it and I wanted to give it a try,” Lily, an eighth-grader, said.

“I’m glad I did. I learned a lot about wiring and mechanical stuff.”

Deven said it’s helped him think in a lot of different ways he “wouldn’t have ever thought of before.”

This may be Sequim’s smallest team yet, but they’ve overcome some hiccups.

game exploded because they didn’t have enough educated citizens to operate their power plant.

But they’ve since revamped Fanrong, which is Chinese for prosperity, teammates said, to follow this year’s theme of “waste not, want not,” more.

Each team member worked at length on the different aspects of the competition but they came together on the model, which includes lights, fans and a voice-activated Tesla coil. Fanrong conceptually incorporates solar, wind and fission power, too, teammates said.

“We put our best effort in it,” Deven said. “We came in a few times a week and during the (Christmas) break.”

Once reaching 2,380 microns — or about the size of coarse sand — juvenile oysters and clams will be moved from where they were hatched at Point Whitney Shellfish Lab to a floating nursery docked at John Wayne Marina.

Upon arrival two 20- by 60-foot floating upweller systems (FLUPSY) owned and operated by the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe will be used to grow the seed to 3-5 millimeters.

“The FLUSPY is proposed to provide shellfish seed for enhancing beaches to support tribal harvest as well as to meet small shellfish grower demand,” according to the City of Sequim staff The floating upweller system (FLUSPY) recently docked at John report.

Wayne Marina in Sequim Bay is owned and operated by the Equipped with a paddle Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe for the cultivation of both oyster and wheel driven by an electric clam seed. Sequim Gazette photo by Alana Linderoth oil-free belt, the floating nursery recirculates water to oxygenate and provide the needed nutrients to the developing shellfish seed. For protection against predators the seed is kept inside metal frame silos with mesh screen.

Before operating the FLUPSY a public hearing for a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit required by the City of Sequim was held Jan. 5. The city planning commission followed the positive recommendation from the Department of Community Development and approved a five-year permit.

The permit is among a handful of local, state and federal requirements officials with the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe have met to run the device. The deadline to appeal the approved Shoreline Substantial Development Permit is Jan. 26.

here in Washington,” Inslee said. “The shores of Puget Sound are a nexus point between the health of our citizens, the importance of natural resources to our economy and the health of our environment, all of which depend on the waters that feed us.”

Renewing the initiative both builds on its accomplishments and updates collective plans for healthy and abundant shellfish resources.

“We applaud Gov. Inslee for solidifying our state’s commitment to clean water and a future that includes healthy, abundant shellfish populations,” Sheida Sahandy, Puget Sound Partnership executive director, said. “The ability to harvest healthy shellfish is a significant part of our economy, our culture and our responsibility to uphold tribal treaty rights.”

Washington state goals reflected locally Sahandy visited Sequim in November to recognize the local effort to improve the water quality in Dungeness Bay. Ongoing work by the Sequim-Dungeness Clean Water Work Group and cooperation from citizens allowed the Washington Department of Health to upgrade 728 of commercial shellfish harvestable acres within the bay, which experienced downgrades throughout the early 2000s.

Piping of irrigation ditches, monitoring, nearshore restoration, implementing best farm management practices and repairing failing septic systems all helped to reduce the amount of fecal coliform and overall non-point pollution entering the bay.

Although improved water quality in Dungeness Bay is a step in the right direction, Sahandy said plenty of work remains to achieve the state goal of a net increase of 10,800 harvestable shellfish

acres by 2020, including 7,000 acres where harvest had been prohibited.

The upgrade in Dungeness Bay contributes toward 2,429 acres of commercial shellfish beds that have opened in the past four years in Clallam, Mason and Kitsap counties, according to Inslee.

The broad group of local entities and individuals working together on Dungeness Bay’s health directly aligns with the goals outlined by the Washington Shellfish Initiative, Kelly Toy, shellfi sh management program manager for the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, said.

Initiative Phase 2 goals seek to improve water quality, embrace strategies to address ocean acidification’s effects on shellfish, advance shellfish research, improve the permitting process to maintain and grow sustainable aquaculture, restore native shellfish, enhance

recreational shellfish harvest and educate.

“Really what happened in Dungeness Bay mirrors the initiative,” Toy said. “To me, you need these partnerships and people working together because you can’t solve these issues alone.”

Native shellfish and aquaculture Among the successful outcomes during Phase 1 of the initiative was the opening of a native shellfish restoration hatchery. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Puget Sound Restoration Fund opened the hatchery to grow Olympia oysters and pinto abalone and provide support to native species

SEQUIM GAZETTE “Really, all the work goes hand-in-hand.”

Being smaller and slower growing than non-native Pacific oysters, Olympia oysters don’t compete among commercial and recreational markets, but its their ecological benefits are driving the need to restore their populations.

“There are great ecological benefits to having these oysters return to where they once were,” Ralph Riccio, shellfish biologist for Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, said.

For example, Riccio noted that many micro-organisms and forage fish are associated with natural oyster beds, as well as oysters’ ability to filter water and thus improve its quality.

Beyond active collaboration to restore native shellfish populations, the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe also is working to secure shellfish harvest opportunities. Most recently, the tribe docked a floating upwelling system (FLUPSY) at John Wayne Marina.

The FLUPSY is nursery system used to grow clam and oyster seed prior to being sold and/or used to seed nearby and surrounding tidelands.

“If we don’t seed the beaches, then we don’t have harvest opportunities,” Toy said. “It has become necessary.”

A variety of factors drive

the need to seed beaches, Toy explained, from problems with natural recruitment and poaching to environmental changes, like increased algae blooms, with some being harmful.

“I see the tribes moving more toward aquaculture because of all the environmental changes and threats to shellfish, like ocean acidification,” she said. “These are things we need to collectively be working on.”

Industry numbers Washington was the first state to take action in December 2011 with its own initiative after NOAA implemented the National Shellfish Initiative aimed at increasing populations of bivalve shellfish throughout the nation’s coastal waters through sustainable commercial production and restoration activities.

The state leads the nation in farmed shellfish production, with approximately 10,500 metric tons of oysters, clams and mussels harvested in 2013, according the Washington State Shellfish initiative Phase 2 summary.

Washington shellfish growers directly and indirectly employed more than 2,700 people and provided an estimated economic contribution of $184 million in 2010.

She was born Feb. 1, 1934.

Donald L. Clay Sequim resident Donald Lee Clay died Jan. 14, 2016, in Port Angeles at the age of 87. No public services will be held.

He was born Oct. 24, 1928.

Dr.March James P. Zettas 14, 1929 - January 6, 2016 Dr. James P. Zettas, a retired orthopaedic surgeon, passed away January 6, 2016 in Sequim, Washington.

Born March 14, 1929, he was the son of the late Gust and Lillian Zettas. He grew up in Chicago with his brother Paul.

He graduated from the University of Illinois Medical School in 1955, completing his residency in Orthopaedic surgery at Cook County Hospital in Illinois and Boston Children’s Hospital. He was certified for membership in the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.

Before opening his own private Orthopaedic practice in Naperville, Illinois, he served as a Lieutenant at the U.S. Naval Air Station in Patuxent River, Maryland.

James and his wife Patricia moved to California where he became the Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Fresno County Hospital. The challenges there remained the highlight of his medical career.

Later, his brother Dr. Paul Zettas, joined him at Fresno County Hospital where they worked together until opening their own private practice.

James and Patricia moved to Sequim, Washington in 1991 to semi-retire. There he joined the Orthopaedic practice of a former classmate and friend.

James dedicated his working life to medicine. He valued each of his patients and was genuinely interested in their well being.

Outside of medicine, he enjoyed a variety of interests. He was passionate about music, excelled playing the organ, and his Yamaha Clavinova. He read extensively which bolstered his ability to speed through daily crossword puzzles.

Always looking for new challenges, he kept up with the times and early on became proficient at the computer.

Having played football in high school and college, he had a life long love for the game. He also enjoyed the outdoors and was an avid gardener, boasting about his dandelion free lawns!

Always making people laugh, a number one priority, James will be remembered for his keen sense of humor and quick wit. Wherever he was, laughter followed. He was known for his big heart and was always a generous person. He enjoyed traveling and maintaining strong friendships and family bonds.

Growing up the son of Greek immigrants, he was aware of and always maintained a proud sense of his Greek heritage. His ability to speak Greek, learned at home as a young child, gave him great pleasure.

James is survived by his devoted and beloved wife Patricia; his brother Paul (Jenny) Zettas MD of Santa Barbara; nieces, Carol Weill (Michael) of Palatine Illinois, Pamela Perlman (Ed) of Greenwich, Connecticut, and Christine Di Filippo (Jim) of Colleyville, Texas; his brothers-in-law Bill Chymiy of Orland, Maine and Jim Chymiy (Ava) of Memphis, Tennessee.

James was loved by many and will be truly missed by all. His was a life well lived in every sense.

A service of remembrance and celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Carlsborg sewer project in line to start in April Construction bids to go out in February

by ROB OLLIKAINEN Olympic Peninsula News Group

After decades of planning, crews will be ready to move dirt on the Carlsborg sewer project by midApril, Clallam County commissioners learned on Jan. 11.

Public Works Administrative Director Bob Martin said the $15.3 million project is on schedule to go

SARC

From page A-1 If approved, all grant monies would go to the SARC board to replace the air handler and make upgrades to the waste and water system, Fra nk Pickering, SARC board chairman, explained.

PICKERING “It’s critical for us moving for ward to have this air handler taken care of by SARC,” said Kelly Johnson, YMCA board member at the Opportunity Fund advisory board public hearing Dec. 18.

“I think that a piece of the puzzle is we don’t want to lease a building that has an air handler that’s at the end of its life and that we have a $731,000 bill hanging over our head because we do not have that money and we will not be successful,” Johnson said.

Following the public hearing, the Opportunity Fund Advisory Board unanimously supported the grant request, but the county commissioners are tasked with making the final decision.

Increase in grant Differing from the pending request, the SA RC board’s first grant proposal submitted last April totaled $386,100. The increase is

out to bid in early February.

Commissioners are expected to open bids in early March, followed by a six-week review of the proposals.

Martin said the goal is to issue a notice to proceed to a contractor to break ground on or about April 15.

OZIAS “That sounds like a solid timeline to me,” said first-year Commissioner Mark Ozias, whose district includes Carlsborg.

reflective of the age and accuracy of a past estimate to replace the air handler, Pickering said. The original grant proposal was based off of an estimate done more than two years ago.

“Steve Burke with the William Shore Memorial Pool in Port Angeles highly recommended Abacus to us,” Pickering said.

Following Burke’s suggestion, SA RC officials have been working with energy services performance contractor and energy engineering firm A bacus Resource Ma na gement Company.

Ranging in efficiencies and price, Abacus engineers provided four options of air handling systems, which are required by the Department of Health to safely balance and maintain the air quality, humidity and chemicals within natatoriums.

“We’re looking at the mid-level system,” Pickering said.

The “vast majority” of the grant is earmarked for the air handler, but a portion is intended to make energy and efficiency upgrades to the center’s water and waste system. Improvements include more efficient faucets, nozzles and new shower columns.

For example, Pickering said, the new showers would deliver water set at an exact temperature instead of being operator-controlled hot and cold.

Clallam County will give the contractor 200 days to build a pump station and install a sewer connection pipe and underground pressure lines.

Wastewater will be pumped from Carlsborg to an existing treatment facility in Sequim.

Martin said the system should be up and running by February 2017.

Clallam County has been planning for a sewer in Carlsborg since the late 1980s. Failing septic systems have contributed to polluted groundwater in the loosely-soiled Dungeness Val-

Additionally, as a junior taxing district SARC officials are participating in an energy efficiency program “Energy Savings Performance Contracting” through the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services. The program designed in 1984 is aimed specifically at state agencies, colleges, cities, school districts, port districts, libraries and the like.

Among the benefits of participating in the state program are guaranteed maximum project costs, energy savings and equipment performance, Pickering said. It also puts SARC in a better position to compete for future state grants focused on energy efficiency.

Targeting July If both the grant request is honored and the SARC and YMCA boards can ink an agreement outlining the elected SARC commissioners as the facility’s landlord and YMCA as its operator, YMCA officials hope to reopen SARC by July.

“We have said July,” Gary Huff, Olympic Peninsula YMCA board member, told those attending a SARC board meeting on Jan. 13.

“If it has to go to September, OK, we may have to, but we hope July, but we’re not in total control of that.”

To help guide and move ahead the creation of a lease agreement, the YMCA board is using a similar lease between the Sam-

hance their rehabilitation services, Olympic Medical Center officials are interested in subleasing 1,500 square feet of the SARC facility.

“They are offering $60,000 a year to do that,” Huff said.

Another lingering piece since the suspension of SARC that both YMCA and SARC officials plan to address is $106,000 in paid passes. Exactly how the passes will be reimbursed isn’t finalized yet, but YMCA officials noted they plan to make that right.

is concerned at the overall financial sustainability of reopening SARC. “O ver t he pa st four years I’ve spoken to other national companies about operating SARC and they need 100,000 population to make it work,” he said.

“There’s only 70,000 in Clallam County.”

Although Richardson “doesn’t care if the YMCA manages SARC,” he said, he doesn’t want the publicly owned center to go from one financial crisis to another.

“They’re (YMCA) betting the farm on this deal and I’m afraid they could lose it because there just isn’t the population to support what’s going on with unsecured financial donations,” he said.

“If they take over and for some reason can’t maintain it, SARC will never be able to open again and that is mine and the public’s concern.”

However, the size of the community SARC serves is acknowledged in YMCA officials’ efforts to ensure financial stability prior to operating the facility. Based on early estimates, about 20 percent of the YMCA’s annual budget will rely on donations and foundations, Huff said.

“We’re spending a lot of time right now to see what can be done and to Jan’s (Richardson) point — this is a small community and that’s why we need so many different partners,” he said. “We’re getting a lot of support though and I think we’ll get there.”

SARC commissioner remains skeptical Despite the steps seemingly toward reopening SARC, SARC Commissioner Jan Richardson has his doubts.

“I am looking out for the taxpayer,” Richardson said.

Approval of the grant proposal first by the Clalla m Count y Economic Development Corporation, then by the Opportunit y F u n d A d v isory Board is RICHARDSON “flawed,” because both boards made their decision based on a draft budget that not all SARC board commissioners had seen yet, including himself, he said.

“All numbers should be finalized before making big and expensive decisions,” he said. “Something is wrong there in my opinion.”

“We have a couple of good examples, but we also have to put in there all the individual and legal issues around this agreement and there’s a lot involved,” Huff said. “I would like it (agreement) by mid-February.”

With slightly more than $2,000 to maintain the facility until an agreement and funding plan is secured, however, SARC commissioners anticipate needing more funds in the “foreseeable future,” Pickering said.

One possible source of funds is surplus and/or outdated equipment.

“We have a lot of duplicate equipment that is older,” he said. “It’s key in my mind that we keep the newest and best equipment.”

If any equipment is sold while SARC is in limbo, Pickering assured, it will be a “minimal amount.”

Other aspects of the partnership YMCA officials still are working to finalize include a reliable fundraising plan and partnerships.

Already Huff reports having talked with 46 potential donors and has identified about $60,000 so far in annual giving, he said, and another $50,000-$100,000 in capital gifts.

“What we’ve realized is start-up costs are going to be extra, over and above annual operating costs, and we figure we need at least $100,000 in fixes to the building,” he said.

ley, county officials have said.

“One of the things that you should understand, and the public should understand, is that the cost of building this system is not being borne by the rate payers,” Martin told commissioners in their weekly work session. “So if the cost goes up, that’s not going to have any impact on the service fees.”

The bulk of the capital costs will be paid through a state loan, which will be paid back over time from the county’s Opportunity Fund.

Since first playing Dungeons & Dragons when he was a grade-schooler in the early 1970s, Chris Francis has been hooked on games.

Over the next three decades, as the gaming world expanded, do did his expertise. Now at 43 and the owner of Gateway Games & Hobby in Sequim, Francis’ enthusiasm for table top games is only exceeded by his knowledge, right down to quoting play descriptions of several games, chapter and verse.

Francis moved to Sequim from San Diego, Calif., about a year ago and frequented two of the game/hobby stores in Port Angeles but his style was different.

“I’m more into miniature table top war gaming as a hobby that has three parts: collecting/treasure hunting, artistic and the social aspect,” he said.

Francis explained that war games can be scifi fantasy or historically based, like the Beaches at Normandy, and each game comes with its own unassembled characters — some with up to 20 pieces per figure — that gamers put together as 3-D models and paint by hand. Once battle ready, the pieces are played on themed flat topographic scenario mats and follow the game’s rules.

Gateway Games also carries hobby supplies such as paint, brushes and tools and provides advice and space for miniature war game crafters.

“Essentially, it’s a complicated version of chess — each character has different abilities and can do different things. The nice thing about it even though they’re war games, is the players aren’t violent because they understand the difference between fantasy and reality. Unlike online videos, they have to ‘play nice’ with

“The thing with gaming here is when it’s dark and cold, it gives you something to do when you’re hibernating at home. You sit around a table with friends and family and it brings people back talking with each other,” he said.

“As kids, we have incredible imaginations and as we grow up, school tightens our imagination and then with jobs or the military, our imagination is diminished more. By playing games and having hobbies, that allows you permission to keep that imagination going — that sense of fun comes back and you allow yourself to be silly.”

Tinnitus, or “ringing in the ears,” affects 50 million Amercians and is often linked to hearing loss.

A-8 • Jan. 20, 2016

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Poor grades for district administrators

So, the Sequim School District wants a few million more dollars. The superintendent mails out a flier with the title “Bond Facts” that contains few facts, but lots of fancy buzzwords such as “Enhance Learning Environments.”

The Director of Business Operations writes a scare article for the Gazette (“The town that lost its school,” Jan. 13, page A-10) threatening a failure of the school district if we citizens don’t cough up more money.

The Director of Business Operations gets an A for artistic writing, but a D for data on which we might make a decision. Where’s the organization chart, with salary histories included? Where’s the graph of past and predicted student population? Where’s the plan for how to attract volunteer labor to augment the formal instruction or help with maintenance?

The superintendent gets an F for failing to explain what he means by “modern science classrooms” or “prepare (children) for the 21st century.” It sounds to me as if your message is, simply, “Give us more money so we can continue to enjoy inflated salaries and maybe erect some fancy buildings commensurate with our status.”

The tax just for the proposed bond, on a $250,000 home, would be $167.50 per year on top of our already inflated county taxes, for the next 20 years. You’re asking for our trust and we’re not convinced you’ve earned it.

Let’s take a recess here and note that the majority of taxpayers in the area are neither ignorant nor wealthy. Lots of us are struggling to make ends meet.

Many of us live in housing older than the “aging facilities” embarrassing the superintendent.

It’s not that we don’t want to have the children in the community educated, but that in tough times everyone needs to suck it up and live within a budget — including the Sequim School District.

David L. Hough Port Angeles

School bond opponents skew truth The latest attempt to derail Sequim’s effort to pass a school bond comes from opponents who claim they want the district to “tell the truth.”

Their website and signs around town point to the fact that the bond is $54 million plus the $30 million in interest payments.

The fact that any bond includes interest is well known — that’s how this works. Public projects never ask taxpayers to foot the bill in a lump sum, all at once. We commit to paying for the community asset then get a loan to pay for it over time based on that commitment. This is not new news to the opponents.

When a home is purchased by a buyer with a 30year loan, does the Realtor write up the offer with the total cost over 30 years reflected on the offer? Of course not. Is the total cost made clear to the buyer along the way by their lender? Of course.

This latest objection is just an excuse to be opposed to the measure. I’ll ask the authors of the “Tell the Truth” signs this: If the bond measure were run with an $84 million price tag, reflecting the bond amount plus the interest, would you then vote yes?

Tell the Truth — you would not. You are opposed to any tax — even one that attempts to correct the injustice faced by Sequim’s students.

Michael McAleer Sequim

Quality attracts quality The majority of those voting in the previous Sequim school bond ballot were for its passage, but our lawmakers have decreed that 60 percent must be for such an issue for it to pass.

After a 33-year career in Texas public schools, I retired as superintendent of the 10,000-student Galveston school district and moved to Sequim.

Not wanting to lose touch with the youth of the community, I worked as a substitute teacher and hearing officer for 12 years in the Sequim schools.

As such, I worked throughout the district and was able to observe the condition of the facilities as they reached maximum usefulness.

My wife and I were fortunate to lead the 1996 Sequim bond effort which led to the building of the middle school and high school classroom addition.

Now, 20 years later, the citizen school board has again studied the physical needs of the district and determined that its facilities need to be improved — many are worn out, lack modern equipment (such as needed science labs) and should provide more security.

One item that has not, to my knowledge, been discussed about this election is the need to offer excellent facilities to attract high-quality teachers. Many teachers throughout the nation wish to return to the place they grew up.

However, with the nationwide teacher shortage, teachers have the ability to choose to work in districts that have first-class facilities. Sequim does not offer such facilities. Few of us would want to teach in some of the current structures in the Sequim district if we could instead be in a safe, well-equipped classroom and know the community values education.

Our schools, along with libraries, youth and senior facilities, EMS services and medical facilities, contribute to our community and way of life. I suggest we need to decide what kind of community we wish to be, hopefully one that is vibrant and understands the need for quality schools.

Please vote for the Sequim school bonds in February. Your vote does count. Thank you.

Make do?

“The schools, apparently, have not been properly maintained over the past 10 years, despite various maintenance and operation levies being passed and paid for property owners.” Truth in Taxation

Why send school construction jobs across the water?

Jobs for the Sequim area a benefit of the Sequim School bond? Nope! In response to this question, one school board member stated that because the job is so “big,” all money will be going to Seattle contractors and suppliers. None of it will stay in the Sequim area.

After looking over the buildings, I couldn’t see where some maintenance wouldn’t solve the problems of a broken toilet and a couple of items in the kitchen that need to be replaced. Buildings do not need to be torn down and new ones built.

There is much space that could be used efficiently that isn’t currently. And, it’s just not economically feasible. With the economy staying at a low here in Clallam County, median income down by 4.6 percent (since 2003), and taxes and utilities always on the rise, I can’t see spending money in a wasteful manner as is proposed.

Especially when our community doesn’t even benefit from the money being requested of property owners and tenants by a school tax average of over $500 per year on top of all the other taxes we’re required to pay. (With estimated interest on the $54 million bond of $30 million, the total tab will be approximately … $84 million!)

Instead, regular maintenance on the buildings will go a long way (whatever happened to the millions that we’re still paying for in the maintenance and operations levy (only 16 percent of the $5.78 million passed has been allocated for “maintenance”).

When our school board decides to ask for a very small bond for essential upgrades, we hope they will arrange for local contractors and local construction workers to complete the work.

Bob Forde Sequim

Operations and maintenance levies have passed in the last decade; however ANTTs seems to have a misunderstanding. They may be thinking that operations and maintenance levies are intended to pay for significant remodels and updates for heating systems, leaky roofs, ventilation, lighting, power sources and space needed for modern educational facilities to keep up in areas such as science and computer technology.

I will help clarify this because we all want the truth exposed. School bonds and levies have distinctly different purposes. Bonds do not support operations; they are intended for construction.

Levies do not support construction; they are intended for operations. Expenditures like improving transportation vehicles have a specific designation just like construction is designated spending listed on Truth in Taxation website.

Maintenance crews, by definition, do not rewire buildings any more than they redo the plumbing for old water systems and ancient nonfunctional water fountains or replace roofs. The crews are not asked to rebuild an elementary school.

They are asked to maintain facilities in good working order but equipment, systems and buildings have a shelf life and a time beyond which they can no longer be repaired or support current use. A small

Supports bond issue Regarding the Sequim school bond measure, to be voted on soon: I have no children in school (nor in Washington). I proudly have a “Vote Yes” sign in my front lawn and both my husband and I will proudly vote yes on this bond to support the amazing community that we have chosen to live in.

I work for an educational nonprofit that serves many states’ districts in promoting programs to keep students in and through school and I have seen the statistics regarding success rates and how they relate to so many factors, including the decaying infrastructure of schools.

Quite honestly, I’ve lived in three states, and in many communities large and small. Not only are the adults here the most friendly and welcoming that I have experienced, but the young people I have encountered have been polite, respectful and friendly.

If I can give something back to them in this small way, so be it. There are exemptions, indeed, for senior citizens, at varying levels. And some of those who may not qualify for exemption may qualify for deferral.

Lastly, our taxes pay for more than just schools; they also pay for emergency medical services, which, according to statistics published by a nearby fire department, are used twice as often by people aged 65 and over as by younger people, and three times as often by people aged 85 and over.

What I never hear is taxpaying community members aged 18-64 complaining that they are paying too much for EMS services because they are used proportionally more by the elderly population.

Sometimes, it is more cost effective to simply put on a new roof. Sometimes, it more cost effective to simply build a new building than to prop up a decaying elementary school and multiple portables of varying ages that were used by thousands upon thousands of energetic young children.

Lewis projects the current year enrollment to total 2,735.

Even, if ANTT’s figures were right, I don’t understand why remaining students shouldn’t have water fountains or bathrooms.

ANTT’s website reserved a separate section that referred to Gov. Inslee’s proposal to bring more refugees to the state and leaped, as in somersaulting over logic, to this conclusion.

The Sequim School District Bond Election is coming up next month.

When I learn that there are over 22 portable classrooms that are over 20 years old or that the science classes were constructed in 1967, I am concerned.

I have two grandchildren who are using some of these outdated facilities. I want these children to be ready for college. I want them to have an up-to-date education.

I also work with the First Teacher program. I see these eager young students getting ready for school. I don’t always see the schools getting ready for these eager young students. When I read about the lack of bathroom facilities it concerns me. When I learn about the many entrances to get onto campuses in the district, I am very concerned about the security. Sure, we can say nothing has ever happened before.

That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be taking the most security standards into consideration.

Lesson 2: Math Lessons Mostly for Parents, Children

children between ages 8 months and 8 years are welcome — this is an activity done together and not a drop-off event. We play blocks in socks — so wear your favorite pair!

Share and join the fun!

This is a chance to bring your child to school for one hour and have a great time. It is an opportunity for you to learn ways to teach her about math and science and for you to learn about ways to be a better teacher. She or he also will receive a free book (not just a math book) and probably a set of blocks.

The set of blocks is still in the making but we hope they will be done in time. If they aren’t, you will be able to pick them up later if you have attended this class. These are blocks that Larry Laing from Sequim generously is making for each child who participates in BLOCKFest.

our youngest citizens. If the facilities are out of date or in need of repair now, project ahead when your child will be in school. It is time to invest in our schools. Sure there is cost involved; Brian Lewis from the district says the cost will be $2.16 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. It also is sad to have to run this election multiple times to try to get the support that is needed to pass this essential measure.

If you aren’t registered to vote, find out about the deadline immediately. Remember, the election is Feb. 9. If you have questions, call Gary Neal, the Sequim School District superintendent at 582-3260; get your answers. But be sure to vote. Every vote is essential.

Even if you don’t have children about to enter school or in school, we need to live in an educated community. Investing in our schools just makes sense. If you are 25 or 85, having schools we can be proud of is essential. Help make this happen.

This is math that just makes sense.

Neighbors show concern for proposed radio/cell tower Proposal would allow for 150-foottall structure north of Sequim Meeting to hear concerns scheduled for Jan. 27

by CHRIS McDANIEL Olympic Peninsula News Group

Plans to build a 150-foot-tall radio and cellphone tower north of Sequim near the Dungeness Heights Subdivision has drawn ire from neighboring residents.

“I cannot believe there is not an alternative site within this whole community than in this residential neighborhood,” said Diane Hood, 66, a former real estate agent who lives near the proposed tower site.

Hood said she and a group of other residents opposed to the project had planned to attend a public hearing in December to speak out against the cell tower. That meeting was postponed, at the request of Gunnerson Consulting — the group representing parties involved An artist’s rendering shows what a proposed 150-foot radio/cell tower would look like from the neighborhood off of Brigadoon Boulevard.

nas, he said.

“If it is used for cellphones, then it has to be taller,” Maloney said.

The three FM antennas would be about 20 feet in length and located at the top of the tower, according to the plans.

T-Mobile would install an antenna array at 129 feet above ground level.

Other cellular providers could locate antennas at 109 feet and 119 feet above the ground.

The new plan is contingent upon the approval of new permits and a separate review process.

If the county approves the new plan, the facility would include the tower and antennas, electrical and telephone utilities, a 100-squarefoot electronic storage shed to house Radio Pacific’s broadcast equipment, two equipment cabinets for T-Mobile, a self-containing backup diesel generator and two structures that protect the cables running from the storage shed to the tower.

The top 100 feet of the tower would be covered in artificial branches and foliage to camouflage the structure.

No aviation lighting is proposed.

452-3936 • 2830 Hwy. 101 East • Port Angeles

State Patrol troopers are seeking a vehicle that struck a pedestrian on Friday, Jan. 15, at U.S. Highway 101 and Larch Road.

The incident is being investigated as a hit-and-run, Trooper Russ Winger, Washington State Patrol public information officer, said on Jan. 16.

According to the state patrol, Alisha L. Wollum, 25, of Sequim, was taken to Olympic Medical Center after the colli-

sion at 5:52 p.m. Friday.

On Saturday, Wollum was not listed as a patient at OMC. She survived the incident, Winger said Saturday.

The State Patrol said an unknown vehicle traveling southbound on Larch Avenue, across from Mount Pleasant Road, made a left turn into the eastbound lane of U.S. Highway 101 and struck Wollum.

Troopers said Wollum was crossing Highway 101 from north to south in the crosswalk against the traffic light.

All lanes of the highway were closed for about an hour with a detour in place.

Traffic approaching the collision in the westbound lanes were backed up as far as Deer Park Road, which is two miles away from the where the incident happened, witnesses said.

The State Patrol is investigating and is seeking a description of the vehicle that struck Wollum.

Anyone with information about the vehicle is asked to call the State Patrol at 473-0300.

Navy

From page A-1 environmental assessment and real estate agreements in the Sequim area and dozens of other sites to conduct sea, air and land training.

However, Navy officials would not confirm the dates of the documents, released by news site “Truthout” in the article “Navy Uses US Citizens as Pawns in Domestic War Games.”

One document lists the local sites and 66 others as possible training grounds but the second document, which appears to be a newer version, does not list Sequim or Discovery Bay. It lists 28 possible sites with the closest in Jefferson County — Fort Flagler, Mystery Bay, Port Townsend Marina, Indian Island, Port Ludlow Marina, Coon Bay and Mats Mats Bay. Truthout author Dahr Jamail, citing the second document, said training cycles were set to begin in select locations from now to midFebruary and mid-February to mid-April.

However, Lt. Com. Mark Walton of Naval Special Warfare Command’s Public Affairs Office said “the process is in its early stages and no decisions have been made.”

“An environmental assessment process for the proposed Naval Special Warfare training within Western Washington and the Puget Sound has begun and is in the very early stages of development,” he said.

“The Navy is currently reviewing potential environmental, cultural and historic

impacts of the type and frequency of training that is being requested.”

Later stages, he said, would include engaging the public.

Walton said he wouldn’t speculate on a timeline for the National Environmental Policy Act process or training.

“We take the safety and security of the public, our service members and natural resources very seriously during all training evolutions,” he said. “Any proposed training will be fully analyzed, coordinated with military and civil authorities and conducted in compliance with the law.”

Virginia Painter, communications director for the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, said they have not heard of any requests from the Navy to use Sequim Bay State Park.

However, right of entry permits were issued in

2015, she said, to use five state parks including Fort Flagler State Park, Mystery Bay State Park, Blake Island State Park, Scenic Beach State Park and Ilahee State Park.

“They’ll be landing a small boat, remove the boat and take off,” Painter said.

She said there are no other pending permits from the Navy.

Kinnan Murray, area manager for Sequim Bay State Park, which sits on 90 acres and hosts 60 campsites, said if any activity were to occur (after permitting), they would be notified from their headquarters in Olympia prior to a training session.

Walton said the “Naval Special Warfare has trained in the Pacific Northwest many years.”

civil authorities to gain approval,” he said.

Training ground In the first document titled “Proposed NSW Training Within the Pacific Northwest,” Sequim Bay State Park could be used for one of three training exercises.

The first would be inserting and extracting a Navy SEAL Delivery Vehicle, SDV, a submersible underwater vehicle. The second, called Over the Beach, involves training with a small submersible craft or boat that trainees would exit, swim to shore, cross the beach and hide in vegetation.

The third training, special reconnaissance, involves similar training to Over the Beach which can take place strictly from land or both land and water, where the trainee would swim to shore, conduct operations, patrol and swim back to the watercraft.

In Discovery Bay, training activities only are listed for SDV insertion and extraction.

Both sites would allow training for 12-18 hours at a time at night for six-eight times a year.

The naval documents state training is non-invasive in nature with no live firearms, digging or cutting vegetation with the goal not to be detected.

If using boats, there also would be a 500-1,000 meter buffer between the Navy and other watercraft, and if they train on land, there would be up to 10 Navy personnel for safety oversight, documents state.

Peninsula residents and the Navy have come into conflict since at least 2014 over impact of Growler aircraft training over the Olympic Peninsula.

Rock is a big happy boy! Rock came to us with his “sister” Taz, and they are very good together -- we would like to see them adopted to the same home. Rock is friendly with all people, but he is picky about other animals, and cannot go to a home with cats! It would be best to have Rock and Taz be the only pets in the home. Also, since Rock can be unfriendly with other animals, he will need a well fenced yard to keep him Age: About 3 years old under control.

Breed: Pit Bull Lab Mix Rock is a big strong boy, so his owner will need to be able to handle him appropriately and be consistent with training. In the right home, he Weight: Approx. 90lbs Reason for being at shelter: will be a great companion!

Owner Surrender (Moving) Adoption fee (includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies vaccine, and a health check from a vet): $120 (for Rock AND Taz together)

SHS students bond with ‘Unified’ basketball game Celebrating 90

Sequim Gazette staff

Sequim resident Marie Oakley will celebrate her 90th birthday Sunday, Jan. 24, at home with her extended family.

She was born in 1926 in Los Angeles, Calif., and moved to Sequim in the late 1990s after she and her husband, Arthur, retired. She was a cruise consultant for many years. She and Arthur were married for 49 years before he died on July 24, 2003.

Her family includes her children Diane, Philip, Paul, Karen and Jeff and another son, Danny, who is deceased.

She has 16 grandchildren and eight greatgrandchildren. She also was a three-year volunteer with KSQM.

The big cheers normally reserved for the fourth quarter came at halftime. It even drew Sequim’s hardwood squad out of the locker room and onto the sidelines to cheer on their classmates.

The intermission at Sequim High’s Jan. 13 boys basketball game saw the first Sequim Wolves Unified Basketball Game.

Unified, an offshoot of Special Olympics, is a program where athletes and partners work together to create a positive team experience for all involved. “(This was) a joint effort — a lot of different people were involved in this, from teach- Katy McMahon (30) lines up a shot in the second half of the ers to paraeducators (teacher aides) to the Sequim Wolves Unified Basketball Game last week. Also pickids,” Sequim High School principal Shawn tured, from left, are Maria Dowe and Nick Barrett (foreground).

Langston said. “It came out great. Any time Gimme 10! you get a chance for kids to learn and grow Sequim High through athletics is a great opportunity.” sophomore Langston, whose daughter Brittany Payton Glasser coaches a Unified basketball team at Rogcelebrates with ers High School in Puyallup, said there classmate Nick may be more opportunities for Unified Barrett (33) after sports if there’s interest from other Olymthe first Sequim pic League schools.

A suggested donation is $5 and all of the money raised during this year’s Traveler’s Journal series will be spent on project supplies and food for volunteers who work on the Olympic Discovery Trail.

Remember the tale about Little Red Riding Hood? In a hurry to get to Grandma’s house, she took a shortcut through the deep, dark woods, where she bumped into the Big Bad Wolf — the perfect beginning for a survival story.

Well, things haven’t changed much. Today we have folks (who represent Little Red Riding Hood) all in a hurry to get somewhere and willing to take shortcuts through Big Bad Wolf country to get there.

What the heck am I talking about? Well, for one, I’m talking about Jeramie Griffin, who loaded his family in the car and headed off across the Cascade Range, taking a shortcut to “Grandma’s” house (actually to his in-laws’ house) for the holidays. He programmed the GPS to take the shortest route. And in no time flat, the Big Bad Wolf showed up, the role being played by deep snow that stuck the car and left them stranded overnight. And wouldn’t you know it, they had an infant along and ran out of baby formula. When the situation started looking grim, they filmed a goodbye video.

But they were not the only Little Red Riding Hoods out there. Three Portland, Ore., residents and their small dog pulled a similar trick while using their GPS to locate a hot springs along a snow-covered forest road in the southern Willamette Valley.

After they got stuck, they walked 17 miles trying to find a spot where they would have cell phone coverage so they could call for help. When rescuers found them, they were exhausted, hypothermic and had no survival equipment with them.

Can you say the word LUCKY? It’s tempting, in this day of high-tech gadgets, to switch off our brains and let the electronics do our thinking for us. A Nevada couple followed the onboard GPS in their SUV as it led them into trouble.

They were traveling across the desert of eastern Oregon, letting the GPS direct their route, and they ended up getting stranded for three days in deep snow on a remote forest service road.

Snowgrass’ roots are local Four area bands keep toe-tapping tunes on peninsula at Jan. 23 festival

Sequim Gazette staff

Sequim Gazette staff

Fourteen years and humming along nicely.

The peninsula’s annual Snowgrass bluegrass festival is back in 2016, with four local bands set to bring their stylings to Port Angeles High School’s Auditorium on Saturday, Jan. 23.

The lineup includes Farmstrong of Dungeness, the Flying Strings of Port Angeles, Tony Flagg’s Trio of Joyce and Forks favorite Crescent Blue.

Doors open at 6 p.m. sharp, with music firing up at about 6:30 p.m.

Tickets are $12 in advance and $14 at the door the night of the event. No matter when tickets are obtained, seniors get in for $9 and youths 10 and younger get in free.

Get tickets at Co-op Farm & Garden in Sequim, Port Book and News in Port Angeles and Forks Outfitters. Or get tickets online at FirstStepFamily.org or www. brownpapertickets.com.

The event is a benefit as well, with sponsors Johnson, Rutz & Tassie and Sound Community Bank making it possible that all ticket proceeds go directly to First Step Family Support Center.

First Step, a United Way agency, promotes healthy development of children and families, and aims to ensure children in Clallam County grow up feeling loved, safe and cared for.

For more information, call Amber Hosken of First Step Family Support Center at 457-8355.

From page B-1 am an advocate of GPS and other technology that can make life easier and safer. But it is unwise to mindlessly follow a digital voice as it tells

Reggae pop-rock band Emblem3, who reunited in November, with founding members Drew Chadwick and Keaton and Wesley Stromberg, will appear on ABC’s “Dr. Ken” in the near future.

An online video from the band showed them on set with star Ken Jeong (“Com munit y,” “ T he Hangover”).

The broadcast date for the episode has not been set, but the show airs at 8:30 p.m. Friday nights on KOMO ABC Channel 4.

Emblem3 started in Sequim before they moved to Southern California to pursue their music career further. Their careers took off after appearing on the music competition show “X-Factor.” Emblem3 rose to national attention by placing fourth in 2012 on the show “The X-Factor” and later releasing their debut album “Nothing to Lose” in July 2013. Chadwick left to pursue a solo career in 2014 before returning in November 2015.

For more information about the band, visit facebook.com/EmblemThree or on Twitter at @EmblemThree.

his little blue bike with a wagon in tow over the last barren arctic headland before curving down to the edge of the Barents Sea. After surviving storms, long stretches of solitude and illness, he reached his goal. Like many personal epics, this trip had strange roots and a happy ending. But according to Robert, “The book and my show are really about Finland.”

From page B-1 River Canyon National Parks, the ghost mining town of Kolmanskop which is being swallowed up by the great Namib Desert, Soususvlei and Dead Vlei, a forest of dead trees in the middle of the desert, and one of the world’s renowned wildlife viewing areas — Etosha National Park.

According to Arvo, “Namibia has a little bit of everything in a big way.”

“Connecting with Nature in India and Nepal” Feb. 4 Presenters: Lauren and Keith Denton Both New Jersey natives but now Sequimites, Lauren and Keith Denton met at a bus stop in Costa Rica in December 2000. Eight years later, they spent their four-month honeymoon traveling in India and Nepal. The Dentons’ show will take you from “the onslaught of people, color and smells” in New Delhi to the Taj Mahal to camel trekking in Jaisalmer to the hill station of Mussoorie and the tranquil backwaters of Kerala. Throughout all these places and experiences, their appreciation of the natural environment allowed them deeper access to India’s culture.

Says Lauren, “We found Nepal to be more subtle in every way with the exception of the mountain vistas.” The majority of their time in Nepal was spent on a 15-day trek on the Annapurna Circuit where they trekked past stupas and prayer flags and slept in tea houses, slowly making their way from the lowland rice patties up to the treeless snowcovered pass, Thorung La (nearly 18,000 feet), the high point of the Annapurna Circuit.

Underwater they have finned alongside oceanic manta rays with 15-foot wingspans and then hovered quietly watching fingernail-size pygmy seahorses forage among branching corals.

And, of course, there are dragons here: the Komodo dragon, Varanus komodoensis, the world’s largest monitor lizard, which exists no place else.

Committed to marine conservation, Burt Jones and Maurine Shimlock use the art of photography to help preserve life in the sea. Over the past 24 years they probably have spent more than 12 months’ worth of time diving in Komodo, often remaining at their favorite sites for days or even weeks. They were the first to discover a secluded manta ray cleaning station — places where tiny crustaceans that look like ladybugs cluster over filter feeding invertebrates — and Cannibal Rock, one of the top 10 dive sites in “Diving with Dragons: Komodo the world.

photograph in Cuba presented him with the rewarding new challenge of capturing people in urban settings. In early 2013, Stephen and his wife Suzanne went on a small group photography trip to Cuba, authorized by the U.S. Department of State as part of a cultural exchange. Besides a lot of camera gear, they took with them a keen curiosity about Cuba and its people, isolated and embargoed for so long by the United States. They visited three distinctly different locations: Havana, the capital; Trinidad, a small and beautiful colonial coastal town celebrating its 500th anniversary; and Vinales, a richly productive agricultural area with some fascinating and massive limestone formations.

“Wrangle Island: The Remote Russian Wild Arctic” March 3 Presenter: Elston Hill National Geographic called Wrangel Island “one of the world’s least frequented, most restricted nature reserves — a place that requires several government permits to visit and can be reached only by helicopter during winter or by icebreaker during summer.”

Inveterate world travelers Elston and Jackie Hill were fortunate to be part of a 28-day tour in 2014 with the first Western tourists to ever make this unique land trip in the most northern reaches of Russia.

Wrangel Island is the world’s largest denning ground for polar bears and also supports the largest population of Pacific walruses and the only snow goose nesting colony in Asia. These snow geese are the snow geese that migrate to the Skagit Valley each winter. Elston and Jackie also had frequent and close encounters with snowy owls, musk oxen, arctic foxes, lemmings and various seabirds. According to Elston, “Wrangel Island is also the last location on the planet where wooly mammoths roamed some 5,000 years ago and we frequently saw their tusks lying on the landscape.”

No stranger to the Traveler’s Journal series, Elston has given multiple previous presentations and we welcome him back to share stories of a remote wilderness few, if any, of us will ever see with our own eyes.

Travel and the accompanying new experiences always have been a priority for their whole family and their children have continued that tradition. Given the incredible opportunity to have their daughter as a personal tour guide, Tom and Kathy jumped at the chance to explore Israel, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan.

They were able to catch a glimpse of the differences in these countries’ cultures and learn of their incredible histories.

Tom says, “We are so thankful to have been able to travel in the cradle of civilization. Our memories bring faces to mind whenever we hear the news from that area of the world.”

Come hear the stories of their adventures, especially some from less commonly visited areas of the Middle East.

Chris says, “I was right about the rain and wrong about everything else.” But it’s not the rain that saturates their memories, it’s images of pedaling for miles into the highlands of Scotland, tiny Irish villages with old white-washed stone shops, free range sheep sleeping in the middle of the road, camping in farmers’ fields, ancient burial mounds older than Egyptian pyramids, and above all else — the people who enlivened their days.

The Wolves hosted Kingston on Jan. 12 in a 37-36 loss, followed by a 36-25 loss on Jan. 14 in Bremerton.

Sequim head coach Charles Drabek said the scores don’t reflect the teammates’ efforts, as they were two very different duals. In Sequim, the Wolves lost seven matches to the Buccaneers, two by pin and four by major decision, and recorded their only points from six forfeits.

Wolves go 1-3 in homestand SHS hosting Olympic Friday

by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

Sequim’s Wolves had a chance to get themselves back in the race for an Olympic League playoff seed last week with four home games in six days.

But a string of tough opponents left Sequim 1-3 on their homestand, including an 0-2 mark against league foes.

“Our Achilles’ heel has been closing out quarters,” Sequim coach Greg Glasser said. “We’ve been competitive with just about everybody.”

Following a 62-42 loss to North Kitsap on Jan. 11, Sequim got out to a fast start but had to hold off a resilient Chimacum squad in a 6251, non-league victory on Jan. 13.

Jackson Oliver had 17 points and seven rebounds, Nick Faunce scored 12 points and Nick Despain added eight points, five assists and five steals in the win.

James Porter led Chimacum with 17 points.

Sequim led 23-10 after the first quarter and 33-16 at halftime but the visiting Cowboys trimmed SHS’s lead to single digits several times in the final quarter.

“They made some good adjustments,” Greg Glasser said. “We knew they were going to compete.”

Sequim, who shot 55 percent from the field and forced 19 Chimacum turnovers, also got 10 points from

Despain, Wolves get AllPeninsula honors

Sequim High senior Brendon Despain was selected the All-Peninsula Boys Cross Country MVP by area coaches and the Peninsula Daily News sports staff, and Sequim took five of the six places on the list.

Despain raced to a ninth-place finish at the DESPAIN class 2A state cross country meet in November, helping Sequim’s Wolves to a third-place finish and second top-three finish in as many seasons.

Despain also ran away with the Olympic League individual title and a week later helped the Wolves win their third consecutive West Central District title.

Other Sequim runners named to the All-Peninsula Boys Cross Country Team include seniors Chris Jeffko, Wendall Lorenzen and Jackson Oliver, freshman Ash Francis, plus Coach of the Year Harold Huff.

Alan Ensastegui, a senior at Forks High, was the only other athlete selected for the team.

The scoreboard shows Klahowya won the meet, but Sequim swimmers were able to take away plenty of positive numbers.

The Wolves posted a pair of firstplace finishes and five runner-up spots in a 109-50 loss to Klahowya’s Eagles in Silverdale on Jan. 14.

“It was great to see everyone swimming so well,” Sequim coach Linda Moats said.

Wendall Lorenzen set a personal best by 11 seconds in the 200 individual medley with a 2:52.49 to take top honors, and teammate

Liam Payne was second in 2:58.29, his first try in that event.

Payne took first in the 100 breaststroke with a 1:24.48 finish, a personal best by 3.5 seconds.

“We made a few changes to his stroke technique this last week and it really paid off,” Moats said.

David Calderon shed 2.4 seconds off of his 100 backstroke time to 1:23.26 — a 14-second improvement in the past two weeks.

Sequim’s Brandon Grow was just 0.32 of a second behind his teammate in his first try at the event.

Moats said Calderon also posted a strong time in his first competitive attempt in the 100 butterfly with a 1:35.78. “I believe he will be a strong contender in this event in the future,” Moats said.

Peninsula College hosts FAFSA event

Different Washington, Same Spirit At left, Sequim Middle School students Mary McAleer and Mirella Chavarin walk south along Sequim Avenue.

Sequim Gazette staff

Need more information about student federal aid? Attend College Bowl Washington, set for 1-4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 23, at Peninsula College’s main campus, 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd.

Most students rely on financial aid to make attending college a reality. Local educators encourage college-bound students to fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). College Bowl Washington offers onsite help with the FAFSA, a form required for most scholarships, grants and loans.

Things you’ll need to fill out the FAFSA: • Social Security card/number or alien registration card (you will not be able to start the FAFSA process without one of these) • Driver’s license or identification card • Income information (bank statements, W-2 or pay stub, past tax return) • A parent/guardian for those younger than 24 (All students older than 24 are considered independent; the FAFSA helps determine if you are considered dependent or independent if you are younger than 24 and only dependents need to file parent information.)

• Parents’ financial information (bank statements, W-2 or pay stub, last year’s tax return) • Parents’ Social Security number • Additional financial information (child support statements, TANF or welfare information; real estate, stock or bonds investments; family business or farm information) Only U.S. citizens or legal residents may submit a FAFSA; however, one’s parents do not need to be citizens or legal residents.

In the same peace-loving spirit as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s August 1963 march on Washington, D.C., Sequim Middle School students took to the streets — including Washington Street — on Friday, Jan. 15.

Following an assembly, students walked from the school on Sequim Avenue, Washington Street and Third Avenue. The march was the brainchild of SMS math teacher Richard Miko, who said he felt the school’s annual assembly honoring Dr. King lacked impact.

“Anytime you can actively engage kids in the learning process, it has a better chance of creating a lasting impact on them,” Sequim Middle School principal Vince Riccobene said prior to the march. “This is a great opportunity and I appreciate Mr. Miko’s enthusiasm and vision for our students and our community.”

These are brief introductions that third-graders have written all on their own. Do the story beginnings grab your attention? Are they all action-packed or is there character development?

Maybe you would like to accept this week’s “Story Challenge” by finishing one of these stories with your own words. Please e-mail your completed stories to Patsene Dashiell, our district’s communications director, at mdashiell@sequim.k12. wa.us. She will forward them to me, I will review them and then read my favorites aloud to my third-graders.

Of course, all stories must be appropriately written for young kids. Thanks in advance for your participation.

One day Thomas was playing baseball with his sister … A few minutes later a tsunami struck!

Thomas was trying to get away from it because the tsunami was near, but he could not go far. Then he passed out.

Two days later Thomas woke up on a strange island not far from his home, but he had been there before.

There were no people on the island so he had no one but himself to help him. Thomas went into the forest on the island to find some mangoes.

Thomas was eating a mango when suddenly he heard … IT! (Now, dear reader, it is your turn to finish the story.)

“You Otter Be Saving”

Mitzi Sanders, career and college director, would like to remind all seniors that the deadline for submitting a scholarship notebook is Jan. 26. Late notebooks will not be accepted.

Sanders says, “In Sequim, we are very fortunate to have many businesses, organizations, clubs and foundations that support Sequim High School graduates by providing scholarships. Many of these local scholarships are usually obtained by submitting a scholarship notebook.”

A scholarship notebook is a way to showcase what students do besides going to class, Sanders further ex-

plains. Scholarship notebooks can contain letters of recommendation from teachers and community members, personal statements, certificates of merit, awards, photographs, work experience, extra-curricular involvement, community involvement, an outline of a plan for their future. Over 100 students took advantage of a scholarship notebook workshop offered last October.

Normally, Sanders says, around 100 notebooks are submitted each year.

After the notebooks are turned in, Sanders goes through and reads them. She keeps a spreadsheet with all the information organizations could be looking for. She checks the notebooks for missing information, such as GPA, class rank information, and so forth. She schedules dates for organizations to look through the notebooks.

“Each year we’re adding new individuals or organizations who want to provide scholarships,” Sanders says. “Currently we work with around 50-60 organizations.”

In the past 15 years, awards have been given out in a ceremony in the auditorium, and in many cases, are presented by a representative from the organization. Sanders recounts, “What seniors have to do is unbelievable. The ceremony is a nice send-off with such a generous community.

Not every community has a scholarship notebook program.”

There is still time to get a scholarship notebook done. Seniors many times come into the library and the Career Center to work on their notebooks and consult with Sanders. Kyla Rigg, a senior who is interested in becoming a pediatrician, said, “It’s hard to remember everything to include in the notebook. My mom really helped me, because she started putting my school stuff aside back when I was in ninth grade. It is still a lot to track down.”

Sanders encourages the students to find ways to make their notebooks and the accomplishments documented within stand out.

Taylor Bullock, a senior who wants to work in the field of criminal justice, decided on a strategy to make his notebook stand out. “I asked the White House for a letter of recommendation, but I haven’t heard back yet,“ Bullock said.

Jessica Craig, a senior interested in a career in the science engineering field, said she is almost finished with her notebook.

“I’ve included my job experience, since I was a certified lifeguard at SARC,” Craig said. “I keep thinking of things to add. The thing I’m most excited about in my notebook is that I’m working on getting my pilot’s license.”

Audrey Shingleton, a senior interested in actuarial science, says it’s been good for her to see some of the other students’ notebooks and get some ideas. “For instance,“ Shingleton said, “I need to figure out how to shrink certificates down on the copy machine so they fit better on the pages.”

There’s still time to get the notebooks done, Sanders says. Students have a couple of three-day weekends during the month of January they can take advantage of. They need to get busy, especially with asking for letters of recommendation, as teachers can get flooded with lastminute requests.

For more information on scholarship notebook requirements, check out the high school’s web page at www.sequim.k12.wa.us/highschool, under Counseling, then Career Center.

End of semester finals will be on Jan. 21-22. Classes will be in twohour blocks, so periods 2, 4 and 6 will be Thursday, Jan. 21, and periods 1, 3 and 5 will be Friday, Jan. 22.

SPIRITUALSPOTLIGHT

From the congregation to the pulpit Richards picked as new pastor for Dungeness Community Church

by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

After several years off the saddle, Tim Richards, 53, is back on but not without some deep thoughts first.

Richards started as the new pastor at Dungeness Community Church in November where his family has attended for 19 years. He and his wife Branette moved back to Sequim from Southern California after stepping away from full-time ministry due to what he calls a crisis of faith.

Richards, who articulates his story more thoroughly in The Faith Puzzle series now on YouTube, said the only way he could know if his faith was true was not tying his paycheck to exploring for the right answer. So he resigned as a pastor and moved back to Sequim to explore more.

When Dungeness church leaders recently asked him if

he’d be interested in following retiring pastor Scott Culver, Richards said he was open to it with a “little trepidation.”

“If you came out of the saddle once and landed hard, you think carefully before you jump back in,” he said.

“I was open but I needed to know it was God’s timing and not me trying to push myself into something.”

Friends and family told him it seemed like a natural transition, but Richards said it felt weird to consider fulltime ministry again.

“I was happy with where I was and what I was doing,” he said. “I wasn’t trying to make that happen. I wasn’t expecting the church to ask me to come and fill the role.

But of course I was humbled, honored.”

Between stints in full-time ministry, he founded NorthWest Supply, Inc., which liquidates medical and scientific assets, and invented The

20s and early 30s.

“I also spent 20 years being an entrepreneur, which gives me an awareness and credibility with people that when talking about the gospel has real world applications for people and isn’t just something for church,” he said.

sure they keep doing it well.

“We can always find a new program or event to do,” he said. “Rather than doing more, we should make sure we’re doing the most important things well … Are we doing lots and lots of things a little bit or do we do a few things really well?”

Richards says he’s still taking it though transitioning to being a pastor again.

He is encouraged by the number of young families coming to the church because it’s “about passing on our faith and helping our next generation grow in faith.”

“We’re in a unique opportunity for an older generation to involve themselves in the lives of the next generation,” he said. “We’ve got kids growing up without parents and have grandparents raising kids. People are struggling.”

That younger generation, he says, can relate to people in their 30s and 40s, too.

“You don’t have to be wealthy or successful, you just have to take an interest in this younger person and to recognize the value and impact they can have in someone’s life,” Richards said.

“I think it’s about making a real difference and not just allowing ourselves to be satisfied with a retirement mentality,” he said.

Richards is the third lead pastor at Dungeness Community Church in its history after Neil Smith and Culver. He and his wife have four grown children and two grandchildren.

BEA would like to be your one and only, she is very smart girl, she loves to go for walks, play with a ball and relax in your living room. She does do the border collie nip so she will not be placed with small children. Bea likes to be the only dog as she wants you all to herself. She is sensitive to loud noises, so a quiet neighborhood would be best for her. Bea is 8 years old.

PENNY had a hard start to her life but is doing great now, she is loving and playful and gets along with most dogs but not all. She has been out at our training program at Clallam Bay Corrections Center and has been doing great. She knows all of her basic commands, is great in the house and is looking for a new family to call her own. If you want a new best friend, this is your girl.
