Trying to meet the demand for accessible, affordable dental care is a daily challenge for Susan Gile. “I see it (the demand) everyday,” she said. “We probably get five calls a day from patients looking for some kind of dental help. We have a waiting list with tons of people on it.” Gile is the dental coordinator at Volunteers in Medicine of the Olympics (VIMO), a nonprofit medical and dental clinic in Port Angeles. Just barely into February and Gile is having to schedule appointments in May in an attempt to keep pace with the number of people seeking dental care. Unlike VIMO, the nonprofit medical center in Sequim, the Dungeness Valley Health & Wellness Clinic, doesn’t provide dental care. Instead if a patient comes to the clinic for pain and the diagnosis is dental-related, the clinic collaborates with about 11 local dentists to aid patients, Rose Gibbs, clinic director, said. “We can give a single GIBBS voucher (per patient) for dental emergencies if they live within the Sequim School District,” she said. The clinic provided about 120 vouches in 2015, according to Gibbs. For those on Medicaid, the state administered health care program aimed at serving low-income patients, finding a dentist is difficult, largely because of the low state reimbursement rates. “We’re pretty limited here,” Gibbs said. “If the state wanted to put any more resources into something, they should subsidize dentists so they could serve more of the population.” Washington had the fifth lowest Medicaid fee-for-service reimbursement

Dungeness continues roaring toward Sequim man’s home Resident says he’s waiting on assistance from tribe to move by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

More than a month after taking precautions to save his home, Matt McWilliams, 59, says the threat of the Dunge-

Sequim looks to recruit new full-time attorney Chain-link fencing allowed in city parks by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

The future of Sequim’s legal counsel comes in as the top of the order in the most recent City of Sequim Roundup followed by two new amendments about utilities and fencing, and new kiosks that may host nonprofits’ logos if proposed policy allows them.

Full-time attorney an option City councilors gave the go-ahead Monday, Jan. 25, to advertise for a full-time in-house city attorney following the anticipated retirement of Craig Ritchie in the coming months. City staff considered contracting out attorney services but said an in-house atRITCHIE torney would cost less than solicited rates they found, ranging from $150-$300 an hour because of the workload. Ritchie

currently makes $151,392 a year in salary and benefits. City Manager Charlie Bush said he’s worked with both contracted attorneys and in-house attorneys and said staff find they are secondguessing when to call the contracted attorney due to costs. City councilors unanimously agreed on having an in-house attorney. “On many instances in council meetings we have referred to our city attorney on issue after issue … he’s probably prevented us from making actions that would not be advisable,” said Councilor Genaveve Starr. Councilor Ted Miller said litigation is becoming more common as are the issues so they would get the full value from an in-house attorney.

city staff also would notify utility users how much it would cost them to reconnect to city services. City Attorney Craig Ritchie said the amendment “lets the public know about the consequences of disconnecting.” The amendment was prompted following an incident with the Greathouse Motel, 740 E. Washington St., where a former employee of Unibank cancelled utility services on the property after taking back ownership, Ritchie said, despite city staff advising them to keep services on. So city councilors agreed to overlook $126,485 in General Facility Charges on Dec. 14 to have the business back in operation. The new owner agreed to pay $20,000 in past standby, interest and penalty charges as if the business never disconnected.

aesthetics and cut down on the brightness of metal fencing. “Our designs standards for fences are pretty restrictive and they didn’t have to be so restrictive,” he said. The update requires any new fencing be covered in a dark, earthtone (brown, black or green) vinyl or paint. City councilors approved the change 6-1 with Mayor Dennis Smith opposed to the code change, which previously restricted chainlink fencing to industrial and storage properties and required all fencing be attached to wood, stone iron, brick or concrete. In response to Councilor Ted Miller and a group of community members’ question, “Why have fences at all,” Hugo said it’s “a matter of safety so that they (players) don’t go off the courts.”

on West Washington Street prior to the roundabout by Verizon Wireless and on Simdars Road as vehicles come off U.S. Highway 101. The proposed policy states eligible community organizations would be “a voluntary nonprofit, nonpolitical, non-commercial organization with the primary goal of providing services that directly benefit the citizens of Sequim.” Ritchie said religious organizations would be eligible because “there are many who do a lot of service.” He said including the phrase nonprofit and requiring the group be a service organization is “about all we can do.” The proposed policy also states it would cost a one-time fee of $50 for each sign and allow only one sign per community organization. How groups are chosen hasn’t been determined but there was discussion of a lottery system or a first-come, first-posted system. City councilors will discuss the policy again Feb. 8.

History Tales to feature Dungeness Lighthouse Chad Kaiser, general manager of the New Dungeness Light Station Association, will talk about the history of the Dungeness Lighthouse at the Clallam County Historical Society’s History Tales presentation at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 7, at First United Methodist Church, 110 E. Seventh St., Port Angeles. Parking and entry to the church’s social hall are on Laurel Street. The New Dungeness Light Station has been in continuous operation since its lard oil lamp was lit for the first time on Dec. 14, 1857. Capt. Thomas Boyling and Henry Blake were the first appointed keepers. When Boyling resigned, Blake took over as head keeper until Sept. 18, 1868. A fog bell was used from 1857-1874 when it was replaced with a steam fog signal. In 1894, a separate oil house for the storage of kerosene was built; it still exists today. Responsibility for navigational aids was transferred to the U.S. Coast Guard in 1939. In 1993, the New

Dungeness Light Station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1994, the nonprofit New Dungeness Light Station Association was created.

An earthquake prep Q-&-A with Mark Ozias by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Clallam County Commissioner Mark Ozias was among a number of county and City of Sequim representatives to attend the executivelevel Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) seminar on Jan. 8 in Olympia. The seminar aimed at Washington county and city officials was intended to provide an overview of the CSZ OZIAS policy challenges anticipated to occur during a catastrophic natural disaster and an update on state response planning underway. The CSZ is a tectonic plate interface where the Juan de Fuca plate is moving beneath the continent (North American plate). Stretching between Northern Vancouver Island to Northern California, the subduction zone is about 700 miles. Movement of the tectonic plates creates stress and pressure along the fault until it breaks — resulting in a large magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami. The last big earthquake to leave its mark on the Olympic Peninsula dates back 316 years ago in 1700, but on average occur about every 500 years, according to the Cascadia Region Earthquake Workgroup. Given the odds, chance of a magnitude 9.0 earthquake stemming from the CSZ within the next 50 years is about 1 in 10.

Estimated damages could result in more than 10,000 deaths, more than 30,000 injuries and economic losses in Washington, Oregon and California of about $70 billion. Seminar speakers included Maj. Gen. Bret Daugherty, the Adjutant General; Gov. Jay Inslee; John Schelling, Washington Military Department’s earthquake program manager; Glen Woodbury, director of the Naval Postgraduate School’s Center for Homeland Defense and Security; John Ufford, Washington Military Department’s preparedness unit manager; and Ed Taylor, Washington Military Department’s state exercise program manager. Why did you attend this seminar? Ozias: “I felt that it was important a county-level elected official go to help strengthen our lines of communication with those that will be helping us. As a county commissioner we’re ultimately responsible that our emergency preparedness staff are as ready as possible and we need to be able to explain to others what our needs are. I think our county’s emergency preparedness staff has done a fantastic job so far and after going to the seminar I think we’re a little ahead of the curve according to the National Guard.” What was addressed? Ozias: “It was more of policy focused seminar — they started out by trying to describe what the anticipated complications are going to be. Most of the discussion had to

suspension wires from the side of his home to the deck to keep it from falling into the Dungeness. “The river’s ready to take the house,” he said. For the 3 1/2 years McWilliams and his wife Michele, 53, have lived in the home, the river has progressively taken away their backyard. When he first moved, McWilliams — a retired firefighter with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection — said the river flowed west of a large island with a smaller side channel going east but a storm in November 2014 took out a large part of his meadow followed by another portion in February 2015. In December, he rented an excavator to relieve the river by creating a side channel, which ties back into the Dungeness about a quarter-mile downstream. That month, the Dungeness River peaked at slightly above its flood stage of 7 feet with a discharge of more than 4,000 cubic feet of water per second, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. On Jan. 29, the river was at 5.15 feet, with a discharge of 1,680 cubic feet per second.

Purchase plan With the river roaring nearby, McWilliams said on Jan. 28 he’s waiting on a plan to relocate from the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe. They completed the purchase of the property on Jan. 13 with the intent to restore the floodplain for salmon habitat as part of its ongoing Dungeness Floodplain Restoration Project. So far, the tribe has purchased 20 acres from the Robinson family in Seattle, which includes McWilliams’ rented home, for a cost of $1,218,000, according to the Washington state Recreation and Conservation Office.

What are the big concerns for the Sequim area, eastern Clallam County? Ozias: “For eastern Clallam County the real concern right now is making sure communication between the government agencies is there and that we’re all on the same page. We need to make sure the fire and police departments are working collectively to come up with a regional plan because we’re all going to have the same immediate needs.” If this event has been building for the past 300 years, why is there a seminar and push for preparation now? Ozias: “What I remember hearing is a combination of things. Over the past 10 years, but especially the past five to six, we’ve learned a lot more. The science and predictions have gotten better. Basically, what we know now is this scale of earthquake happens every 300-500 years and it has been 316 years since the last one. So, it’s predicted that right now there’s a 1 in 10 chance that this earthquake will happen in the next 50 years. I think those odds are significant enough to warrant the level of planning we’re in.”

McWilliams said he and his wife have been looking daily online and in newspapers across the state with the hope to find a home along water again. “I rented it for the river and Department of Natural Resources land,” McWilliams said. “I can find peace there from a stressful day.” McWilliams said he does have some concerns about the stipulations behind the relocation services such as finances and timeliness. Knapp said all relocation rules are supervised and handled through the Washington State Department of Transportation.

‘Soup’s On’ at St. Luke’s Anticipating a piping hot bowl of soup, about 70 members of the Sequim community arrived at noon at St. Luke’s Parish Hall on Wednesday, Jan. 27. In photo, “Chef” Dianne Onnen passes a lunch tray to Fr. Bill Tartar for delivery. In addition to a choice of vegetable and beef-vegetable soup, visitors got a roll and a salad of spring greens, along with a delicious cookie. Each Wednesday from noon-1 p.m. guests will continue to find an appetizing lunch at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church at 525 N. Fifth Ave. All are welcome and there is parking in the front and the rear of the building. Linda McKenzie, a new member of St. Luke’s, started a similar program in Port Townsend. She brought the idea to St. Luke’s rector, the Rev. Bob Rhodes, for a weekly free lunch which could be managed by the clergy and parishioners including Friars from the Order of St. Francis and several Little Sisters of St. Claire. Thus “Soup’s On” got started using recipes, energy and cooking skills found within the parish membership. This project is in partnership with the Sequim Food Bank as yet another way to reach out to those who are hungry in the community. Submitted photo

Paul Muncey is the new coordinator for the VIPS program.

Paul Muncey recently accepted the role as Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) Coordinator. He is looking forward to being involved in all aspects of the program from recruiting new volunteers and promoting the program to ensuring that the VIPS are providing the assistance that the police officers and staff require. Paul is also very excited about assisting the department in preparing for the accreditation process by the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs. This is a distinction the department can now strive for with the new Police Department in the Civic Center. He and his wife Susan moved to Sequim in 2011 from the Seattle area. He said as they began to think about retirement they visited many communities in Oregon and Washington, but none seemed attractive until they visited the Olympic Peninsula and Sequim. “It felt like home to us almost immediately,” Paul said. He has been volunteering with VIPS for the past four years. “We truly enjoy the small town life and atmosphere and wanted to get involved in the community,” he said. “Volunteering is an excellent way to get to know your town and the people in it, while at the same time putting to good use the skills and talents that you’ve developed over a lifetime.” When asked why he believes volunteering is important, Paul said he has always enjoyed helping people to succeed and thinks that most people feel that way. In addition to his volunteer work with the City, Paul and Susan assist at the local winery, Wind Rose Cellars, where they help vintner David Volmut during harvest season and with the wine bottling process. They also put their graphic design skills to use helping small businesses and are involved with the My Choices Medical Pregnancy Resources Centers in Sequim and Port Angeles. To learn more about the various opportunities to volunteer with the City and make a difference in the community, contact City Clerk Karen Kuznek-Reese at (360) 681-3428 or kkuznek@sequimwa.gov.

WATER SAVING TIP OF THE MONTH In the Kitchen — FILL YOUR DISHWASHER.

Your dishwasher uses the same amount of water whether it is full or just partially full of dishes, so be sure to fill it. Many dishwashers have a water saver cycle to save even more water. Better yet, wash dishes by hand in a sink or dishpan—it uses less water than a dishwasher.

WeDo Fudge now open

Sequim Bee Farm, owned and operated by Buddy and Margaret DePew, was one of 176 Good Food Award Winners of 2016 receiving medals recently in San Francisco where numerous farmers, chefs, journalists and activists united to celebrate the exceptional food crafters including luminaries Alice Waters, Nell Newman and Slow Food founder Carlo Petrini. The winners came from 33 states, having risen to the top among 1,937 entries in a blind tasting with 203 judges held in September. Sequim Bee Farm’s entry was its wildflower honey. The highest scoring entries were submitted to a rigorous vetting process to verify they met the sustainability and social responsibility criteria to win a Good Food Awards. This year’s winners represent the forefront of American craft food, making products that are delicious, respectful of the environment and connected to communities and cultural traditions. As Good Food Awards founder Sarah Weiner noted in her closing remarks, “Twenty years ago, it took traveling across the globe to encounter something so exquisite that it jolted me into seeing the world with new eyes. Now, you are giving people a taste of how good life can be right here on our own soil … changing America’s definition of Good Food.”

After a January hiatus, the drive-through at WeDo Fudge, 11 Valley Center Place, will be open from 10 a.m.4 p.m. Feb. 3-12 just in time for Valentine’s Day. It will close again until the start of its season on April 5. Until then, its fudge is available at Karol’s Accessories, The Good Book, Sofie’s Florist or Agnew Grocery and Feed.

Fitness studio raises funds Janita Court poses with an impressive paper bouquet of red anthurium and white lilies she crafted by hand. Sequim Gazette photo by Patricia Morrison Coate

Personalized paper flowers purchased around the world Sequim crafter has an eye for copying nature’s nuances by PATRICIA MORRISON COATE Sequim Gazette

From a modest home near the core of downtown Sequim, Janita Court crafts personalized paper flowers and sends them to such farflung places as Italy, France, Great Britain and Australia through Etsy, a website showcasing handmade products. “I am a paper florist and became interested in paper flowers about five years ago because I wanted to find a way to sell online. I started with yarn and crochet items but I really fell in love with paper because of the way it feels,” said Court. She made her first bouquets for her own wedding in 2011 and was so pleased with them that she joined Etsy that summer and listed her first bouquet. Since then, she’s sold 500 bouquets — 200 just in the past year. The 30-year-old Sequim native learned the detailed craft by watching online tutorials and confidently said, “I can do everything — any type of flower. I start by looking at pictures of the flower and the shape of its petals. Usually it takes 1-2 hours figuring out how it’s to be shaped and cut out. It’s lots of trial and error,” Court laughed, “until the petals have the right shape.” Under the watchful eye of her dog Harley and from a drafting-type desk in her living room, Court fashions dozens and dozens of individual petals from wide rolls of textured crepe paper in a rainbow of hues. Her nimble fingers tease a flat cut-out into a royal purple iris petal, with its characteristic dimples and

Company joins national Angus group Breithaupt Cattle Company of Sequim is a new member of the American Angus Association®, reports Allen Moczygemba, CEO of the national breed organization headquartered in St. Joseph, Mo.

Its computerized records include detailed information on over 18 million registered Angus.

gestions … awesome.” Despite all the praise, Court remains modest. “I didn’t think it would take off that well. It was a rough first two years but it paid off. I’ve been able to make a fulltime income this year and last year and the past two years have been profitable,” Court said. “I work at it daily and during the busy season from February to October, I have a few people fold for me the origami flowers.” An origami flower called kusudama is requested most, with peonies following at a close second; roses not so much, she said. But her personal favorite is the vivid red anthurium because she loves tropical flowers. The vast majority of her sales are online with a smattering sold locally by word of mouth. “I’m hoping to increase that and I also want to start teaching some small classes locally,” Court said. The most important thing, Court said, “is being able to pick up the elements from nature. It helps to keep doing it (daily) because if I stop, I definitely feel it in my hands — I’ve got to keep exercising them.” View Court’s collections at www.etsy.com/shop/MyWoollyMammoth.

Text 9-1-1 available on peninsula Sequim Gazette staff

Effective Feb. 1, residents in Clallam and Jefferson counties can send texts to emergency responders. Text-to-9-1-1 allows community members to send texts to reach emergency call-takers from mobile phones or other devices. Text-to-9-1-1 does not provide location to responders, so users are asked to try to identify as best they can their location. Users also are asked to use plain English and avoid common texting abbreviations, and to not send attachments such as pictures or videos since 9-1-1 centers do not have the ability to open them. Emergency personnel also ask that those in emergencies should call if they can and text only when they are unable to call. Unlike calling 9-1-1, texting to 9-1-1 requires a service plan.

Police continue investigation into Jan. 29 armed robbery Search on for Shelby Schleve, gunman Sequim Gazette staff

Sequim Police Department’s Deputy Chief Sheri Crain said the case of an armed robbery still is under investigation and they continue to pursue leads as of Feb. 1. The robbery occurred about 3:45 a.m. on Jan. 29, at Sequim West Inn, 740 W. Washington St. The victim opened the door to his rented room after a woman, Shelby Schleve, 21, known by the victim, knocked. Once the door was opened, a man the victim doesn’t report knowing entered the room. Armed with a small handgun, the man demanded money and valuables. After collecting the victim’s money and other items of some value, Schleve and the gunman fled the room leaving the victim in the room

alone, Det. Sgt. Sean Madison, said. No injuries were reported having occurred during the incident. Madison and his colleagues are looking for both Schleve and the gunman in connection with the robbery. Schleve is described as a white female with light brown hair. She’s about 5-foot-10-inches and weighs about 160 pounds, with an unknown residence. The unidentified gunman is described as being about 5-foot9-inches, weighing between 210249 pounds with a “heavy or stocky” build, Madison said. Anyone that may have information concerning this crime or has seen Schleve is encouraged to call the Sequim Police Department at 683-7227.

Chase the K-9 police dog set for surgery Police chief believes program will continue by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

With more than 100 arrests on his record in capturing criminals in some capacity for the Sequim Police Department, Chase, the K-9 officer, is set for surgery this month to remove a possible cancerous mass in his intestine. Since 2008, Chase has worked with handler Sgt. Mike Hill to assist other neighboring agencies more than 100 times and track more than 90 suspects and search 65 buildings for the police department. Deputy Chief Sheri Crain said Chase, who has participated in public demonstrations and served as the driving force for the Sequim Dog Park

Crime

From page A-1 like property theft. Despite her no trespassing signs, fence, locked gate and motion lights, Rose confronted a burglar at her doorstep trying to enter her home around 4 a.m. on a Sunday in early December. The man fled, but was quickly found hiding in nearby bushes by Clallam County Deputy Don Kitchen. Kitchen was already on Cameron Road responding to a previous report of three men. The man arrested, Richard Allen Welches, 22, of Port Angeles, was one of the three men committing serial property crimes within the area that morning. “To me the fact that these men kept coming after being reported is a different level of desperation or determination or probably both,” Rose said. “Almost everyone I talked to had a problem that night, early morning.” Based on the majority of the individuals caught committing property crimes, Clallam County Sheriff Bill Benedict said, “There’s a very strong correlation between

agility course, has been out of commission since the diagnosis. The plan was for Chase to retire this year but Crain said it’s unclear if he’ll come back to work after the

heroin use and property crime.” In the City of Sequim theft increased 15 percent from 236 incident counts in 2010 to 271 in 2015. However, in the unincorporated Clallam County, known as Area 1, which runs from Diamond Point west to McDonald Creek, theft decreased 9 percent from 406 incident counts in 2010 to 371 in 2015, according to the Clallam County Sheriff Office. Unlike theft that reflects slight ups and downs in the number of incident counts from year-to-year, auto theft in 2015 more than doubled compared to 2010 in both the City of Sequim and Area 1. “Once stats start to go up, to me, that’s too late,” Rose said.

Neighborhood Watch

surgery. But the procedure is expected to greatly improve Chase’s health and future, police officials said. Community donations have paid almost entirely for the K-9 Unit since it began in 2000. Crain said the cost of the program is fairly manageable each year and its largest costs come upfront when they begin training with a new dog and handler. Following Chase’s retirement, plans to continue the K-9 program are likely says Police Chief Bill Dickinson. “I believe that we do have police officers on staff who would like to succeed Sgt. Hill as a dog handler for us in the future,” he said. “Assuming that is the case, and assuming that the community continues to favor having a police dog in service for our community, then we will in fact continue to offer that service.”

Preventing crime: programs and resources The Neighborhood Watch program offered through the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office is a crime prevention program that enlists the active participation of residents in cooperation with law enforcement to reduce crime, solve problems and improve the quality of life in your area. Under the program, officials from the Sheriff’s Office will visit an interested neighborhood to give a 90-minute presentation and answer questions. For more information, contact Lorraine Shore, Clallam County Sheriff’s Office administrative coordinator, at 417-2262 or e-mail blockwatch@co.clallam.wa.us. • For a wealth of information and programs, visit www.clallam.net/ Sheriff or call 417-2262. • Don’t hesitate to call 9-1-1 or dispatch for non-emergencies, at 417-2459. • Provide feedback to improve enforcement efforts by completing an online survey for the Sheriff’s Office at www.surveymonkey. com/s/C8TJ8ZZ. • Other resources: — Federal Trade Commission (information on telemarketing/ Internet scams and how to report them) www.ftc.gov — CrimeReports.com (website that shows reported crime in your area) crimereports.com — Washington State Office of the Attorney General (consumer alerts and events) atg.wa.gov/scam-alerts — Scambusters.org (list of 15 steps you can take to prevent home burglary) www.scambusters.org/homeburglary.html — NextDoor.com (a private social network for your neighborhood and provides a method of communication for residents) nextdoor.com — ReportIt (securely store serial numbers, item descriptions, pictures and scans of receipts) reportit.leadsonline.com

In reaction to the burglar, Rose collaborated with the county Sheriff’s Office to host a Neighborhood Watch meeting to educate residents about what can be done to protect against crime. The well-attended meeting on Jan. 13 was among years as neighborhoods are many similar meetings seemingly turning toward conducted throughout the a more grassroots approach to fight crime. On average the Sheriff’s Office annually provides about 20 Neighborhood Watch presentations for residents countywide, Lorraine Shore, Clallam County Sheriff’s Office administrative coordinator, said. “Over the past eight years we’ve educated thousands of residents on crime prevention and how to target harden

Crain said there are a lot of reasons to continue the program. “There are instances where you want a tracking dog,” she said. “That is a resource that Sequim P.D. and every (law enforcement agency) around here would use.” Crain said a dog that tracks drugs would be used more but the legal system has narrowed the opportunities the police department can use a dog in those instances. Training for the handler and dog is paid for by the police department, Crain said, but donations help with veterinarian bills and other upfront costs for the program. Donations made out to the “Sequim Police Department K-9 Program” go directly to the program and can be made by contacting the Sequim Police Department, 152 W. Cedar St., or at 683-7227.

their homes and property as well as how to effectively communicate with law enforcement,” she said. “This proactive approach to policing is essential in maintaining trust between residents that the law enforcement officers that serve them.” Following the meeting, Rose and her neighbors plan to get more organized and are instituting a phone tree. “People need to watch out for each other and most importantly report what they

see,” Rose said. “Everyone has a responsibility. If you see a piece of trash on the ground, pick it up. If you see something, report it.” Becoming more aware and improving communication between neighbors may better protect against property crimes, Rose said, but those efforts alone won’t make the problem go away. “This isn’t going to get better by itself and there remains a huge drug problem in this county fueling an immense property crime problem,” she said. Although fully impressed by the response of the Sheriff’s Office, Rose said, given the size of the county, she suggests perhaps more deputies could curb crime and drug use. She also looks to fellow citizens to work together to put pressure on elected officials, like judges, and the Legislature to ensure the county and its cities have the resources needed and processes in place to work against neighborhood crimes and drug addiction. During the Neighborhood Watch meeting, Shore reminded those attending that the number of individuals committing the property crimes in Sequim and Clallam County is a small percentage of the residents. “To me, that is another reason why we can change things — there is power in numbers,” Rose said. “The type of crime we’re talking about doesn’t stand up in bright light, but it’s only going to get worse unless we get activated communitywide.”

From page A-1 rate at 28.7 percent relative to commercial dental insurance charges, according to the American Dental Association. “It would help tremendously if Medicaid paid at a rate dentists could afford to take,” Gibbs said. Three dental clinics, including Advanta Dental, Jamestown Family Dental Clinic and Zbaraschuk Dental Care, of about 12 dental clinics in the Sequim area, are listed by the Washington State Health Care Authority as contracted providers that may be take Medicaid patients. Sea Mar Community Health Center in Port Angeles is among 11 other Sea Mar centers in surrounding counties that provides dental and health care to patients of all ages, religions, ethnicities or sexual preferences without regard to income, occupation, immigration status or citizenship. Clallam County’s Sea Mar center opened full time in 2014 and lessened the demand on clinics like VIMO. Before Sea Mar opened, VIMO was getting about 25 calls a day from people seeking dental care, Gile said. “Though, they’re struggling, too,” she said. “Sea Mar is having to close their doors every couple months because of the demand.” VIMO is trying to be the best “safety net” it can, Gile said, “but there’s just too much.”

Mid-level dental professional

“I think everyone agrees there’s an access and cost issue,” Steve Tharinger, District 24 Legislative representative, said. District 24 encompasses Clallam, Jefferson counties and most of Grays Harbor County. Along with Tharinger, the district is represented by Rep. Kevin Van De Wege and Sen. Jim Hargrove. Despite the shared recognition of the issues surrounding dental care, how to best address those issues differs. For the past five years there’s been a big push for dental therapists, but not

without “a lot of concern from the Washington State Dental Association,” Tharinger said. For ma ny dentists, the problem with mid-level dental providTHARINGER ers revolves around “scope of practice rights,” he said. Mid-level dental professionals, often referred to as dental therapists, are similar to physician assistants or nurse practitioners in the medical field given they can provide a broad array of dental care, but are limited in the services they can provide compared to dentists. Mid-level dental providers are practicing in Minnesota and Alaska, but haven’t been allowed in Washington. Tharinger sponsored House Bill 1421, which “creates new mid-level dental professions. Attempts to increase access for all Washingtonians through the introduction of an evidencebased mid-level dental provider that is geared toward working in, and reducing oral health disparities within, the state’s communities with the greatest need,” according to the bill digest. “We’ve heard this bill in the House before, but it’s been at least two years,” Van De Wege said. “There’s nothing scheduled for it.” Although no action is expected in the House, its companion bill (SB 5465) was part of a public hearing in the Senate Committee on Health Care on Jan. 25. “The first step is to get heard,” Tharinger said. Recognizing mid-level dental providers in Washington would be “a major policy shift,” Tharinger doesn’t think it will happen this year, he said. “These things take time,” he said. Van De Wege remains cautious of allowing mid-level dental professionals to practice in Washington. “Mid-levels would be doing invasive stuff with less education,” he said. Among quality of care, Van De Wege also is concerned the bill, as is, doesn’t ensure dental therapists would

charge less to provide care than dentists. For people in Gile’s position at VIMO, however, dental therapists could make a big difference. “To me community clinics are the exact place dental therapists need to be,” Gile said. “It’s such a needed position.” If Gile were able to have one supervising dentist and hire about three dental therapists, the clinic would be able to serve far more people regularly she said. “The majority of the work we do here are things a dental therapist could do,” she said. “Routine, preventive care is what we need.” About five of the 25 dentists from the area participate with VIMO to provide the dental services it does, Gile said, “but when you’re talking about thousands of people that haven’t been to the dentists in years, it’s just too much.” In Clallam County, including all ages, 21,015 were Medicaid eligible, yet only 25.7 percent (5,393) received dental services in 2014, according to the Washington State Health Care Authority.

Other avenues for improvement Both Van De Wege and Tharinger are working to expand dental residency programs in their district. “That will help bring more dentists to the area,” Van De Wege, said. Additionally, through the residencies, more Medicaid patients can be accepted, Van De Wege said. “My fundamental concern is access,” Tharinger said. “If it can be met through residencies, I am fine with that, but it (mid-level professionals) has worked well in the medical field so I can also see that being applied to the dental field.” Efforts on a loan repayment scholarship program, where the state pays a portion of dentists’ student loans given they provide care to underserved populations is

another improvement underway, Van De Wege said. Both representatives also agree Medicaid reimbursements need to increase. “I think we need to increase reimbursement s and decrease the amount of paperwork and VAN De WEGE waiting time to get Medicaid reimbursements,” Van De Wege said. Tharinger echoes Van De Wege, noting Medicaid simply “doesn’t pay enough” to allow dentists to afford to accept Medicaid. However, to increase reimbursements is “complex,” he said. “That money has to come from somewhere — so do you take that from schools, state parks, increase cost of services? There’s a phrase down here (in Olympia) that, ‘everything is connected to everything else.’” It would be great if community-supported clinics like VIMO and the Dungeness Valley Health & Wellness Clinic didn’t exist, “but that’s not the reality,” Tharinger said. Although the “vision” doesn’t rely clinics like VIMO, until then, Tharinger said those kinds of clinics are “really important.” Reflecting the importance placed on oral health, Gibbs said, some funding that supports VIMO and the dental care vouchers provided through the Dungeness Valley Health & Wellness Clinic is provided by Olympic Medical Center. “They don’t do dental and they want to keep people out of the emergency room,” she said. “There really needs to be a focus on preventative care.” “The biggest thing, and everybody knows it, is without good mouth care the potential of other illness is high,” Gibbs said. “We know healthier mouths means healthier bodies, but we’re not putting the needed resources into that.”

She grew up at Merriman, graduating from Iron Mountain High School in 1945, and attended Albion College in Albion, Michigan. During her long life, she had many accomplishments, including a 64 year marriage to her husband, Kris Kolner; and 4 children: Mark, Karen, Thor & David. She also had a long career in nursing including a Bachelors of Science in nursing from Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio in 1951; she served as a Registered Nurse; and made a life time of contributions in both public health nursing and school nursing. Always one to care for others, she was an ac tive participant in many organizations but particularly in the Lutheran Churches at Atonement Lutheran in Barrington, Illinois; and Dungeness Valley Lutheran Church in Sequim, Washington. In retirement, she loved living many years in the Sherwood Village Community in Sequim, and her involvement in public heath causes in the community. In addition to caring for many people, she was a great lover of music, particularly singing; animals, including many beloved family pets; and ﬂowers, for which she had a green thumb particularly for peonies and roses. A private family memorial service was held in Shoreline, Washington after her passing. Memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association and Dungeness Valley Luthern Church.

LETTERS To submit a letter TO THE EDITOR 147 W. Washington St., Sequim, WA 98382 More ‘mistruth’ than truth

“Mistruths” in Taxation seems a more appropriate name for the anonymous group currently misrepresenting the facts in the Sequim School District’s bond proposal. Mistruth No. 1: According to this group, if you own a $246,000 home (the median sale value in Sequim in 2015) the passage of the bond would cause a tax increase of over $530. Actual fact: The tax increase for a home of this value would be a little under $140 dollars … that’s about 38 cents a day! Mistruth No. 2: The current educational program and operations levy (formerly called maintenance and operations levies in Washington) only spends $361,000 a year on maintenance. Actual fact: The Sequim School District allocates nearly $1,000,000 a year of levy funds ($950,000) on the maintenance of buildings and facilities. On a side note, maintenance staff have purchased used parts from old equipment on eBay in order to extend the life of things like heaters to minimize costs. Some of the current aging kitchen equipment was military surplus back in the 1950s. Don’t look for that kind of information on the “Truth” in Taxation website. Mistruth No. 3: Enrollment is declining. Actual facts: This issue takes some thinking and consideration to understand. Yes, overall enrollment is down 90 students between 2004 and 2015. However, it’s helpful to compare the student numbers between kindergarten and 12th grade to a pipeline: inflows and outflows vary. Right now though, the numbers of students in the “inflow” (the elementary grades) are up. They will continue to move through the system. And the actual number of births in the county are documented and rising. Helen Haller Elementary currently has 618 students enrolled, the most in a decade. The school’s gym (which functions as a makeshift cafeteria rather than a gym) is rated at a capacity of less than 500 by the fire marshal. Bottom line: Our aging facilities are in need of much more than repairing a “broken toilet and fixing a couple of items in the kitchen.” The need is now and the time is here. Please vote yes to bringing our schools into the 21st century. Eric Danielson Sequim

Radio tower story not balanced

Regarding the “Neighbors show concern for proposed radio/cell tower” article (Sequim Gazette, Jan. 20, page A-12): This article was almost the same as the one published a few weeks ago, quoting the same fearmongering people who oppose the tower. I am a bit surprised that the reporter on the radio tower article only interviewed these few same naysayers in regard to the tower. Why not talk to some neighbors directly adjacent to this proposed tower? We also have diligently researched their scare tactics and have a different opinion. It seems these people are only concerned with the tower, not their microwaves, cellphones, airplanes, WiFi, CAT scans and many other modern devices we all use every day that emit radio frequency waves. Everything we do each day involves some risk, including driving the roads in and around Sequim. There are many more neighbors who live in closer proximity to the tower than the woman quoted. They have never even been interviewed. We also have done extensive research and feel comfortable in what is being proposed. The next time you do a feature story, get the “other side” and present a balanced view. Connie Kinyon Sequim

Some neighbors support tower

Regarding the article: “Neighbors show concern for proposed radio/cell tower” (Sequim Gazette, Jan. 20, page A-12): Just to be clear, not all neighbors are expressing concern for the proposed radio/cell tower in the Dungeness Heights subdivision. I also find it unfortunate that the writer of the article chose to quote as fact, based on one woman’s opinion, that we have “adequate” cellphone coverage up here. Case in point, we had a power outage up here a few weeks ago, our land line was dead. I needed to contact hospice with a concern for my dad, I tried using my cellphone (which hardly ever works up here, by the way) and I had no reception. Fortunately, it wasn’t a life threatening issue. If it had been, we would have had to drive into town to get reception … I hardly think that is adequate! There are a number of squeaky wheels making a lot of noise up here and doing a lot of fearmongering. But, there are a lot of us who would appreciate the construction of the radio tower and fully support the neighbor who is allowing it to be placed on her property. Margaret Schwarz Sequim

FROM THE WEB • RIP Dan Haggerty. Here’s a February 1977 Sequim Gazette story about the Grizzly Adams show and its Sequim connection (Jan. 15) Dan Haggerty was an amazing man. His love for animals was even more so. As a young man I got to play in two of his shows up Taylor Cutoff Road on was what was Albert Haller’s property on the power lines. I think that is why some of his close friends called him “The Gentle Giant.” He had a way with animals that I have never seen before from anyone. RIP. Hopefully you will be with your long lost friend. — Chris Brown

It’s elementary Picture this — the City of Sequim and surrounds in 1980. Long strings of traffic roll through Washington Street on the way to Hurricane Ridge. Some people stop at local restaurants. Cows graze on pasture lands and vegetables grow in the large green valley. About 52,000 people lived in all of Clallam County, most clustered in and around Port Angeles. Sequim was a distant second, a yet undiscovered gem of retirement living and big box stores. Helen Haller Elementary School, the only elementary school in the Sequim School District, was 4 years old Think and the first learning A bout It ... home for 503 girls and boys. Bertha Cooper T he scho ol wa s named for Helen Haller who taught and was a principal at Sequim Schools during the 1930s and 1940s. She was pictured as a student in a 1908 photo long before she became the wife of Walter Haller. You may be familiar with the Haller name well known in our community for sustained charitable giving through the Albert Haller Foundation. He was her brother-in-law. Helen must have been proud to have her name attached to the new, sparkling elementary school. Ah, those were the sweet bucolic days of Sequim fondly remembered by many residents. But the secret spilled out and retirees discovered the moderate temperatures and low rainfall of the Blue Hole. Businesses began arriving and more people with them. Service industries and house construction brought jobs for younger people who either came in or stayed. The population of Clallam County increased by over 40 percent by 2014,

Your vote matters!

If you live in the Sequim school district and you’ve already voted yes on the bond issue, thank you! If you’re a “no” voter, ignore this letter because your mind is made up. I respect that. But if you’ve been too busy, or you think your vote doesn’t matter, or you just haven’t been paying attention, please read on. State law requires 60 percent of voters to approve school bond issues. Even though the bond won more than 59 percent of the vote in November, it fell short of the 60 percent supermajority by 54 votes. Your vote definitely matters this time! With escalating construction costs driven in part by the booming economy across Puget Sound and rising interest rates, the same scope of work will now cost $5 million more than it would have if it had passed last year. But get this: If this bond issue passes, school taxes will still be lower than they were in 2013. Sure, students can still learn in dilapidated buildings, or log cabins, or grass huts for that matter. But if we want to prepare kids — our most important resource — to compete in the 21st century, we must invest in their educational infrastructure. So please make voting your top priority. Find your ballot and mark the box to approve the bond. Before Feb. 9 put it in the dropbox or stamp it and pop it in the mail. Thank you for supporting our kids and our local economy with your vote!

Vote for capital improvements

I just voted in favor of Sequim School District 323 Proposition 1. I am retired and my children all graduated from Sequim High School over 15 years ago. Even so, I value the physical condition of the local schools. Outdated and inefficient facilities are not attractive to good quality teachers. Quality of education affects the desirability of related professionals to

much of it in greater Sequim.

Helen Haller plays musical portables The demand for elementary school capacity began to outgrow Helen Haller in less than a decade. The 1980s saw the addition of six portables brought in to house the learning needs of children and three more to house children for special education when the state and community accommodated the right of all children to participate in public education. Helen Haller was bursting under the pressure of 840 students until Greywolf Elementary was built and opened in Carlsborg in 1992. Helen Haller moved out of five portables and functioned with the remaining four until 2014 and 2015 when three portables were added. Greywolf remained portable-free until 2014 when two portables were added to accommodate full-day kindergarten. Hopefully termed temporary portables became hopelessly permanent after decades of use to stretch capacity.

It’s simple

Musical portables, the increasing number of students and acceleration of the requirements of elementary school education have worn poor Helen Haller out. She can’t do it anymore. It’s that simple. The school district’s elementary school population has grown 121 percent since 1976. Greywolf has seen a 13-percent increase since its opening in 1992. Perhaps more important, the demands on school districts have dramatically increased. An early example is the mandate to integrate disabled children into the schools to give them opportunity. It’s called special education and requires facilities; however, the goal of integration is remote given they are located in portables. In fact, all students are isolated. Helen Haller

Random act of kindness appreciated After I bought a filing cabinet here in town, I found that it would not fit in my car. As I pondered how to resolve the issue, a lady unknown to me approached and suggested that we “put it in the back of my truck and I’ll follow you home.” We did and she did. She then helped me unload it, refused any reward, accepted my thanks and was on her way. We had not exchanged names; I have no idea who she is. However, I was truly struck by and appreciative of her kind and generous act. We are blessed with some amazing people in our fair city. Tom Caufield Sequim

SEQUIM GAZETTE

On Feb. 9, the Sequim community will face a huge decision that will significantly affect the future of our community and residents. I will vote “yes” for the much-needed Sequim School District facility bond for the following reasons: • Our community needs to recruit and retain physicians and other health care professionals such as RNs, pharmacists and physiGuest cian assistants in order O pinion to meet the health care needs of our residents. Eric Lewis There is a significant shortage of physicians both nationally and locally. Rural areas in the U.S. have 20 percent of the population but only 10 percent of the physicians. In my role as CEO, I work on recruiting physicians every week.

From page A-10

Time to solve ‘real’ crimes

When talking with physicians considering moving to Sequim, the No. 1 question that I hear is “What is the quality of the local schools?” Fortunately, our local schools have excellent teachers, but our facilities are in need of major upgrades. When potential physician candidates visit our high school or Helen Haller, they are dissatisfied with the facilities. I know physicians and other health care professionals that have chosen other communities due to the condition of our school facilities. By passing this bond, Sequim schools will become an asset for recruiting and retaining physicians and other health care professionals. Without investing in our local school facilities, and therefore our local students, Sequim is at a disadvantage in recruiting and retaining local health care professionals. We are in competition with Bellingham, Poulsbo, Olympia and other communities for the same physicians. If more physicians choose not to come to Sequim or move away, our community will have fewer local health care options.

able? It’s essentially saying the only people deserving a good education are the wealthy and admitting public schools are subpar. The truth is there are jobs for doctors anywhere they want to live. We have friends and family who are physicians across the country, where they’ve all considered the schools as well as what the community offers as a whole. Can you tell me why a highly educated physician who can work anywhere for about the same amount of money would choose to live in Sequim? The schools are overcrowded and falling apart. The community recreation center is closed indefinitely. There is a campaign against funding better schools. Why would they move here when they could earn the same somewhere else with great schools? We need good schools to attract good doctors. It’s that simple. Sadly, while we love Sequim, our children need better than what Sequim offers. We are moving this summer, largely because of better educational opportunities elsewhere. We are still keeping our home here — meaning we still will pay property taxes. Even though the bond won’t benefit our children, we are still voting yes. The logic behind this negative campaign is flawed. Why would the school district lie? What would they have to gain? A new school? Better learning environments? What’s so wrong about that? The school district’s financial records are a matter of public record. Look them up and see exactly where the money is going. I’m afraid many are relying on inaccurate “facts” on a fearmongering website. If you are on the fence, why not tour the schools to make a truly informed decision? See for yourself what a doctor considering moving here would see and understand why we can’t get doctors to move here. Please vote yes. Sequim needs this. Rebecca Chen Sequim

I found it alarming to read of 24 cases of theft, burglary and prowling in the Sequim area during the week of Jan. 5-11 (Sequim Gazette, “Police Blotter,” page A-9). I grew up in Sequim and after 40 years away in Alaska and Montana, I’m glad to be back in the area. The changes in Sequim over those 40 years are significant. Today I made a round trip to Deer Park Road from my home and observed six law enforcement vehicles along the way, four of which had vehicles pulled over. I rarely go for a drive of any distance without seeing at least one vehicle stopped for a traffic infraction. We have a huge presence of law enforcement here compared to anywhere else I’ve ever lived or visited. Why then do we have so much crime (like the 24 cases noted above)? Could it be our enforcement folks are concentrating on traffic infractions and ignoring the theft/burglary crime? My good friends south of town recently surprised burglars in their home, who got away with several thousand dollars worth of “stuff.” Despite immediate identification of the vehicle and personnel involved in the theft (by the home owners), enforcement personnel would not make an arrest nor attempt recovery of their stolen belongings. While it may be low-risk revenue to concentrate on traffic infractions, I for one would prefer that emphasis were placed on getting these burglars off the streets and out of our homes rather than worry about Grandma going 5 mph too fast on local roads (which already are posted with painfully slow speed limits). Seems driving in this area is as safe and tame as anyplace I can imagine and would not suffer if a few more of our law enforcement folks were redirected toward solvWhat part of no … ing “real” crimes.

From page A-10 occupying more space than screens or display boards. Anyone with facility security experience will have nightmares tonight after reading this. The district meets the minimum legal requirement for accommodating handicaps but there are no doors with the option to push a plate to open the door. If a student or staff can’t push or pull a door with their body, they can’t get in or out. School districts have been charged with providing breakfast and lunch to students for several years now and do so despite using outdated kitchen equipment and facilities.

Space or lack of rules

The quality of our local health care system is directly connected to the quality of our schools. You can impact the availability of quality primary care and specialty physicians locally by voting for the school construction bond. • Our 2,700 children living in the Sequim School District need the best education possible. To maximize the education we can offer our children, facilities and technology are critical. Up-to-date science labs and modern classrooms better position students and teachers to excel. Sequim children can’t vote but we can certainly give them the best opportunity to succeed by voting to support them. • If the bond passes, the total property tax supporting our local schools will be $2.16 per $1,000 of assessed home value. In 2013 the rate was $2.30 and in 2014 the rate was $2.15. As the community paid off the 20-year bonds passed in 1996 used to pay for Sequim Middle School, we can pay for these much-needed school facility improvements with about the same tax rate we had in 2013 and 2014. If this bond passes, our rate of $2.16 will be less than

bother them, but it is bringing most of the retired people of the county to their knees. We know there are a lot of people who will be forced to move to a less taxed county if this goes through. If we could have seen a wellmaintained school system using good sense through the years then it might make sense but we have seen ill-managed fund use and mismanagement. We don’t need new schools, we need better management. Please vote no on this issue. Sandra Aronsen Sequim

Schools are appalling

Fellow citizens of Sequim: We’ve recently relocated to Sequim from Saigon, Vietnam. I am an American who attended Snohomish High, but have lived worldwide. Two things have struck us about the current bond controversy and the situation at Sequim schools. Firstly, the appalling physical condition of the schools here are as bad or worse as schools in Vietnam, a struggling Third World, Communist country. Overcrowded class rooms, sewers backing up, ancient equipment — in both Saigon and Sequim! Surely we in America can and must do better than this, no? Secondly, the incredible commitment and hard work of the teachers we’ve met. It is truly inspiring that so many, do so much, for so little. They, and the students, deserve our support and better facilities, to do their and our job. I say “our job” because surely providing the best education possible for our young people, should be job No. 1, for all of us. It is our civic and patriotic duty that costs an average of 38 cents day, one-tenth of a Starbucks latte. Finally, if not for kids and country, how about self-interest? Better schools mean higher real estate values. Means more doctors. Consider it an investment in your own future, as well as the future of our young people and country. So when that ballot arrives, please, do the right thing and vote yes. The future of our town and our country depend on it. Don Baron Sequim

Who deserves your vote?

I think it is very interesting to consider that the No No No group throws up a website, a few signs and writes a few letters to the editor and then trusts voter apathy to aid them in garnering 40 percent of the vote, while the Citizens For Sequim Schools folks work their tails off waving signs, phone calling, putting up lots more signs, going door to door, creating Facebook memes, talking to everyone near and far,

Working around inadequate space and facilities limits our elementary schools’ ability to meet standards. Functions become servants to the available space without regard for what the standard is. All-day kindergarten is now a requirement which means more kids using more space. Helen Haller already runs shifts for lunch — 6 or 7 — which means students get only 15 minutes for lunch which includes waiting in line. The recommendation is to allow 20 minutes. Greywolf provides 50 minutes of PE a week instead of the 100 minutes of PE a week as required by Washington Administrative code because the multipurpose room is used for food service, physical education and assem-

half the state average rate for local school support of $4.36. In addition, because interest rates and construction costs likely will rise, it will become much more expensive if we further delay these needed facility upgrades. For residents over the age of 61 with household incomes of less than $40,000, you may be eligible for an exemption from the local portion of property tax. In summary, I am going to vote for the school bonds as Sequim needs more physicians and it needs to be a place for local kids to get an excellent education. Sequim school facilities must be improved to meet the demand for classrooms, current technology and safety. We need families to want to move and live here to maintain/improve our local economy and to provide needed services to our residents. Please join me in moving our community in a positive direction by voting “yes.” Eric Lewis is CEO of Olympic Medical Center, a Sequim resident and father of a Sequim High School student.

and the list goes on and on, to earn the 60 percent super majority needed for a better Sequim. So you tell me, which camp deserves your vote on Feb. 9? Dave Hasenpflug Sequim

Pass bond to keep up high standards

We need to pass the bond now, due to the crowded and out-dated conditions. This is not a levy, which funds education and operations. This is buildings for now and the future. Sequim always has been an outstanding school district. Did you know the first three women to attend our military academies were Sequim High School graduates? The last building bond passed in 1998. Let’s keep our school standards high and pass this most needed bond now. Em Hutchins Sequim

School bond: credibility and accountability The issue of the Sequim school bond is directly related to the credibility, accountability and transparency of the school board, who has a fiduciary responsibility of long-range planning and fiscal optimization the community is willing and able to support. The first bond proposal ($154 million) demonstrated a total failure of that responsibility. The approach since has been to resubmit the bond, assuming it will get approved — this is now the fourth proposal! These actions have damaged the board’s credibility. The Port Angeles school board, after failing a $100 million bond, waited until the new board was in place with experience, then thoroughly reviewed options for a new proposal. A majority of new, inexperienced Sequim board members chose not only proceed but to increase the bond proposal to $54 million (including interest, about $90 million), creating a 20-year “mortgage” on our property taxes. This was explained as inflation and rising interest rates — everyone who monitors the fiscal data knows inflation is nearly zero! It’s projected to be low for several years. The Fed now has longer 10-year and 30-year interest rates actually decreasing! Does anyone see construction increasing locally? So much for those arguments. This isn’t to say that improvements/investments don’t need to be made to schools despite lack of long-range planning or poor maintenance. The school board needs to develop a range of options, with the objective of how to accomplish similar results with a goal of being incremental and achieving $40$45 million versus $49 million or

blies. All-day kindergarten added 100 meals a day and more time in the one large room. Imagine the time it takes to orchestrate hundreds of children having lunch and PE.

So what’s the problem? The problem is that 69 percent of the school bond is going to building a new elementary school that will replace poor Helen Haller, something I believe she would applaud, and add two classrooms and one gym to Greywolf. It’s a big target, never mind one is on its last legs and the other is on course to repeat history, just 26 more entry points to go. Helen Haller will be repurposed to serve Alternative Learning Experiences such as Olympic Academy, the program that allows a combination of home school and public

$54 million plus interest. The board must get into the details — a scope of work must be established. Harvey Martin’s letter to the editor (Sequim Gazette, Jan. 13) stated it clearly: no monuments to the architects, board or district. The voters need a plan demonstrating due consideration of details to achieve the most costeffective results. They need an execution plan stating who on the board/district is directly accountable for managing projects on an hour-to-hour, day-to-day basis to achieve or beat the budget and schedule. Voters require board credibility, accountability and transparency. Without these, voters should not support this bond proposal. John Sartori Sequim

Schools impact our quality of life

I recently had the opportunity to attend a tour of the Sequim School District facilities with Jim Stoffer, Sequim School District board member, and Brian Lewis, director of business operations for Sequim School District No. 323. Not having school age children or grandchildren, I found the information presented helpful and would recommend others take the tour. First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal have been committed to improving the quality of life in the communities we serve for over 90 years. We encourage volunteerism by our employees in issues that are near and dear to their hearts. We also invest in public activities and charitable services providing support for capital projects that provide valuable community benefits and facilitate economic development. The education system is an issue that affects all of the 150 First Federal employees living in Clallam County. Whether attracting someone from outside the county or hiring an individual who grew up attending local schools, the educational system and facilities have a significant impact on the quality of life by improving the economic and social conditions for all residents. Our board and management are encouraged by the commitment and wish Citizens for the Sequim Schools success in their efforts to improve the quality of education in the Sequim schools. First Federal encourages all voters to educate themselves on the Sequim School District’s needs and to actively participate in the upcoming election.

education. They currently are in a building that uses curtains instead of doors and is scheduled for demolition in favor of a storage facility. Could it be that some voters really don’t understand the seriousness of the need? Or just like the feel of a good taxation protest? Or could it be that the makers of portables don’t want to lose the business? Be informed and vote. It’s elementary. Bertha D.

Ballot boom triggers bigger Sequim box Sequim Gazette staff

It didn’t take long for Sequim voters to show how interested they are in the Feb. 9 special election. With a $54 million school construction bond up for consideration, voters flooded the single ballot drop-off box in the Sequim Village Shopping Center in the JCPenney parking lot — so much so that it filled the maximum capacity, 1,400-ballot box to the brim by about noon on Jan. 23 — just three days after ballots went into the mail. “I was expecting the box to be full by Sunday, so we already had a scheduled pickup on Saturday afternoon in

place,” Clallam County Auditor Shoona Riggs said. “As soon as I was notified it was filled earlier on Saturday, we were able to immediately head to Sequim to empty the box. As is normal procedure, the box will be emptied every other day and checked every day to make sure it is not full.” As soon as the election is over, Riggs said, the county plans to install a larger drop box that will hold up to 3,500 ballots. Riggs reported what she called “an unusually high return rate” for the first weekend ballots were mailed. “Typically on the first day of processing ballots we have an average return rate of ap-

Shame on Gazette

The “Sequim Gazette Staff” listed on the byline of the article “Q&A with the creator of the tt323.org website” in the Jan. 16 edition of the Sequim Gazette (page A-6) should rightfully be too ashamed to identify themselves by name, due to the misinformation put out as fact in that piece of sloppy and unprofessional journalism that is most certainly not up to the Gazette’s usual standards. Unless Mr. Forde himself is “Gazette Staff” then no fact-checking was done before publishing a screed full of misleading statements and half-truths put out by a group that calls itself “Truth in Taxation” … how’s that for irony! I am seriously disappointed in the Gazette’s lack of editorial oversight in giving credence to what is most certainly Mr. Forde’s misinformed opinion, and presenting it as a factually accurate article … for shame!

ing to wait in line too long to use the bathroom at Helen Haller. Imagine being a doctor and raising a young family. Would you choose Sequim? Would you choose an elementary school for your child, with poor bathroom facilities, that was designed for a smaller population of students? One that has outdated electrical systems and cannot handle current technology that the students need to use to satisfy state laws on testing? The science classroom at the high school is so decrepit that it is potentially a health risk for students in the neighboring classroom when the exhaust hood is used for science experiments. How can we expect our students to be successful in science when they have poor conditions to learn in? How can our senior citizens receive adequate health care in our area when doctors may not want to choose to locate here? How can we expect our children with disabilities to achieve their full potential when they are instructed in portable buildings located away from their peers? The answer is: We can’t. We can’t expect more out of our schools, our parents, our children and our community by voting no. It is time to raise the bar. Our kids deserve safe, updated schools. You deserve good, local doctors and a strong community. Vote yes! Karla Richardson Sequim

Rancor over bond unsettling

There’s a famous statue of a Minuteman in Boston. Everyone knows it. Tricorn hat thrown back, he’s standing tall, flintlock rifle held high. I suggest we install a duplicate of this statue in front of Sequim’s city hall, but with one modification. The patriot has both hands over his head tearing his voting ballot in half. It would be for the betterment of the order. It would speak to the anger pervading these times, an anger that is beginning to seep from national headlines and television news into the town I have known and loved for 15 years. The New Revolutionaries are angry and want to punish. Do you think the new city hall is a palace? Toss a rock at it by voting against the Sequim School bond. Unrelated, but that’ll show them! Do you look forward to a decrease in taxes when failing schools cause a drop in property values? Then vote those kids down! Just tear up your ballot. You just haven’t thought this out. Do you make any use of the roads, the public services that you support with your neighbors, but choose to deny their kids the schools they deserve? Tear that ballot up. This isn’t a decision. You’re throwing a rock. Rancor and strife has split the Lavender Festival in two, an event that defines our city. We now lack a

A ballot box also is located at the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles. Voters who have not received their ballot or need a replacement ballot may visit www.clallam.net/elections and click the “MyVote” icon, call the Auditor’s Office at 417-2221, or come to the Auditor’s Office at 223 E.

Fuzzy figures?

Hugh Haffner, Public Utility District (PUD) commissioner for District #2, will speak to the Clallam County Democrats at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 10, at Democratic Headquarters at 124-A W. First St., Port Angeles. Haffner will discuss t he PU D’s HAFFNER short-term and long-term goals and he will take questions from the audience. This program is free and members of the public are encouraged to attend. Clallam County Democrats hold monthly programs featuring speakers topics of local community interest on the second Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. For more information, contact program co-chair Paula Barnes at 808-5876.

I would like to point out the Total School Tax Rate stated in the Sequim School District Bond Fact sheet is incorrect. In the district’s example of $250,000 in property taxes, the cost to the property owner is actually $45 per month, not $11.50. When Gary Neal, district superintendent, was asked about the error, he stated they had identified the confusion after the flier was mailed. No clarification to the mistake could be found in the Sequim K-12 web site. My question to the school district is this: Will this discrepancy be corrected adequately before we vote or will people be quite surprised when property taxes are due? Wayne Guthrie Sequim We asked Gary Neal for a response: The information on the bond fact sheet has been updated: www.sequim. k12.wa.us/cms/lib6/WA01000561/ Centricity/Domain/1/BondFacts_ Sequim_Feb2016-revised.pdf.

Our Children Our Community Our Future

VOTE YES! By February 9th

Dear Sequim-Dungeness Valley Community, I have called this community home for over 20 years. My husband Craig and I have raised 5 children here, and they all attended Sequim Schools. I have volunteered in many organizations for the betterment of our community. I love Sequim! Through my volunteerism with the community I have a deep rooted, unwavering love for the charming town I am fortunate to call home. Currently I serve as the President of Citizens for Sequim Schools. Our purpose: A dedicated group of community volunteers and school supporters working to inform Sequim School District voters and to encourage support of our community and its youth through passage of the school levy and construction bond ballot measures. We believe all community members benefit from having a strong public school system in Sequim. The Feb 9th proposed School Bond Ballot for $54 million will improve our District facilities, increase safety, and bring learning environments into the 21st Century for our community’s children. The opposition would like you to believe their “truth” of inaccurate facts and statistics. I will set the record straight so you, the Citizens of Sequim can make your choice based on fact. • Opposition: “Sequim School District lacks a tax base to support the School Bond.” • FACT: The boundaries of Sequim School District had the 51st highest assessed property in the state (259 school districts) and property owners pay less than half of the state average in school-related taxes. If other communities with similar demographics can afford to pay more than we would be paying, then it is reasonable to generalize that our community can find this small increase ‘affordable’ • Opposition: “Clallam County has a 9.3% unemployment rate.” • FACT: Clallam County unemployment in Nov 2015 was 7.4%, in Nov 2014, 9.0% (Source: Peninsula Daily News, Dec 22, 2015). Clearly our economy and employment is improving. • Opposition: “Enrollment has dropped to 2,600 from 10 years ago.” • FACT: In 2004 enrollment was 2,797. In 2015 enrollment was 2,707 a decrease of 90 students. However, the decrease was in the High School Elementary enrollment has increased each of the last 3-years and that trend is predicted to continue. In addition to full day Kindergarten being added this school year, requiring more classrooms. • Opposition: “How can we, in good conscience vote to further burden our struggling neighbors and businesses with a crushing 35% SSD property tax increase.” • FACT: The tax increase by passing the School Bond would be 38¢ per household per day. ($139 per year) on property valued at $246K. So, I ask you Citizens of Sequim… aren’t our children worth the investment of .38-cents a day? NOTE: If you are 61-years of age and earn less than $40,000 annually, you may be eligible for an exemption. These are just a few examples of the inaccuracies being presented by the opposition as “truth”. Please do not be misled. I am committed to advocate for our most vulnerable citizens, our children, until the School Bond is passed. Education is filled with our greatest hope for the future, our children. Please consider these words as you cast your ballot and VOTE YES, for our children, our community, and our future! Respectfully,

Colleen Robinson, President

Cedar St. Above, Bob Rigg of Seattle Glassblowing Studio is pictured with the sculpture in progress. Rigg designed and constructed the piece. The event is part of the First Friday Art Walk. (Read more about the Art Walk on B-10.) The sculpture was donated by Steve Burkett, who retired as Sequim city manager on June 30, 2015, as a memorial to his late wife Bobbi. The piece of art consists of 10 colorful glass plates mounted on a metal armature. The sculpture will be permanently installed in the southeast corner of the Civic Center lobby. About $11,000 was raised by the community through a fund created by the Olympic View Community Foundation for the sculpture.

In August of 2008, we set out on a fourmonth honeymoon including two months traveling between India and Nepal. Having both spent extensive time in Latin America, our experiences had been enriched by living with host families and speaking the local language. In Asia, we found immersing ourselves in the local culture to be more challenging. Being avid campers and hikers, our wilderness experiences allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of the cultures we visited. Our first day in New Delhi we found the onslaught of people, color and smells to be invigorating and overwhelming at the same time. The next few weeks we visited the Taj Mahal and traveled the tourist trail in the state of Rajasthan. The complex history found in the forts and temples was fascinating but after a time we became weary of the crowds and the intense attention we received as foreigners. Houseboat in Kerala, India.

Learn about birds and their nests Sequim Gazette staff

The Backyard Birder Series continues with “Nesting” from 10 a.m.-noon Saturday, Feb. 6, at the Dungeness River Audubon Center, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road. Learn about bird nests, how and where birds nest, care and maintenance of nests and nesting boxes because it is time to think about birds and spring. A variety of bird nest boxes and do-it-yourself kits will be avail-

able for purchase. The class is presented by Ken Wiersema. The class also will show how to participate in the “Great Backyard Bird Count,” a national annual census of bird populations sponsored by both the Audubon Society and the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. Following a short field trip to tally birds in Railroad Bridge Park, learn how to enter data in the GBBC computer database. The census occurs Feb. 12-15.

Participate by counting species in one’s own garden and backyard feeding areas for a minimum of 15 minutes or more. This presentation is the fifth of the series of nine classes offered by the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society. Families and individuals are invited to attend any or all of the sessions.

The Jefferson County Historical Society also will have a strong presence in the exhibit, with scores of artifacts and historical photographs. Three of Lambert’s descendants are artists featured in the exhibit: Sherry Lou Macgregor, a writer; Patrick Maher, a silversmith; and Cathy MacGregor, a basket weaver. During her lifetime, Lambert wrote “The 7 Brothers of the House of Ste-tee-thium” and “The Dungeness Massacre,” an account of the actual event that occurred in 1868 on Dungeness Spit. The late 19th century, along Sequim and Discovery bays, was “a really formative time in the communities’ history and it’s cool doing an exhibit because people (artists/organizers) did grow to understand each other. It’s the first time the Jefferson County Historical Society has collaborated with the Jamestown and Port Gamble S’Klallam,” Polinsky said. “Dungeness” also pays homage to the S’Klallam culture from its cover design, to its artwork and historical photos, to words in the S’Klallam language scattered throughout. Bainbridge Island artist Cara Thompson created the book’s design and illustrations. The novel, published in 2015, is available at the Northwind Art Gallery, 701 Water St., Port Townsend; and at www. dungenessbook.com.

Organizers of Olympic Theatre Arts hope you’ll find the humor in love with their latest show “I Do! I Do!”. Described by director Charlotte Carroll as a couple time-traveling through the peaks and valleys of their relationship, “I Do! I Do!” follows couple Michael and Agnes, played by Ron Graham and Angela Poynter-Lemaster, from their first night together in 1895 to moving out of their home in 1945. The show, written by Tom Jones with music by Harvey Schmidt and based on the “The Fourposter” by Jan De Hartog, begins its run Feb. 5 with a preview night on Thursday, Feb. 4, and a pay what you will night on Thursday, Feb. 11. Carroll said, “Whether you are married or not, been in love or ever thought about marriage, it’s sure to amuse,” and that the music is great, which features

OTA to hold auditions for comedy ‘Squabbles’ Olympic Theatre Arts has announced auditions for its next Main Stage production, “Squabbles.” This hilarious play pits a father-in-law against a mother in a comedic succession of squabbles. The comedy will run for three consecutive weekends from April 7-24. Director Larry Harwood is looking for a cast of seven. They include: Jerry Sloan, a jingle writer in his mid-30s; his wife, Alice, also in her mid-30s; Jerry’s father-in-law, 70s; Jerry’s mother, 60s; a male retired pharmacist neighbor in his 70s; a handyman (Puerto Rican is specified) in his 40s and a governess in her 50s. Auditions will be held at OTA, 414 N. Sequim Ave. from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13, and from 6-8 p.m. Monday, Feb. 15. Candidates will be asked to read from the script during the auditions. Resumes are encouraged but not required. Scripts are available to borrow from the OTA business office. For more information or to schedule an alternate audition time, contact Harwood, at 457-7356.

They are a joy to work with.” Graham jokes he helped discover Poynter-Lemaster when he cast her for Port Angeles Community Players’ show “Broadway Nights” shortly after she moved to the Olympic Peninsula a few years ago. “I think we have a good rapport,” he said. “It makes it much easier. We both feel comfortable. When I screw up, I know she’ll be

From page B-1 New Delhi. Through all of these experiences our appreciation of the natural environment allowed us further access to India culture. After three weeks in India we headed to Pokhara, Nepal. We were instantly struck by the distinctions between these neighboring countries. While in India the areas we visited were primarily Hindu and the nuances of the caste system were very visible. In Pokhara and the area surrounding the Annapurna range, we felt the strong influence of Tibetan Buddhism. Overall, we found Nepal to be more subtle in every way with the exception of the mountain vistas. The majority of our time in Nepal was spent on a 15day trek on the Annapurna Circuit. We climbed most of the way to the 18,000-foot pass of Thorong La without a sherpa and later learned the cultural implications of that choice. We trekked past stupas and prayer flags and slept in tea houses. We slowly made

in December 2000. Lauren’s love for travel began with her interest in her BolivianPuerto Rican roots, learning Spanish and participating in service programs while attending Villanova University. After graduating college, she visited Costa Rica to study at a language school. Keith also attended the school to learn Spanish and spent his weekends with Lauren while exploring the rest of the country before returning to his summer job in Alaska. After living in Costa Rica, About the presenters Lauren met Keith in Seattle Lauren and Keith Denton, in the fall of 2001. They spent both New Jersey natives, met five weeks driving across the at a bus stop in Costa Rica our way from the lowland rice patties up to the treeless snow-covered pass. After the trek we visited Nepal’s Chitwan national park where we made safaris atop elephants while searching for tigers, but happily settled for rhino encounters. We found connecting with the natural beauty of these two nations to be incredibly rewarding and we look forward to sharing more with you at the Traveler’s Journey on Feb. 8.

there to catch me.” Both actors agree “I Do! I Do! is timeless and can appeal to anyone. “It’s a microcosm for life,” Poynter-Lemaster said. “It’s not all fun and games. It’s a journey. You begin your journey and you are young and have these different milestones. Hopefully if you get the opportunity to live a long and full life, you can reflect on those times in your life as learning times.” Graham said their characters sum up the show’s meaning in one song — “Marriage is a very good thing, but it’s far from easy but it’s filled this house with love and life.” While the show is fast-paced with quick costume changes through the ages and events,

country to their childhood homes in New Jersey. That winter, Lauren joined the Peace Corps in Honduras and Keith traveled through Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina with a fishing rod in hand. Lauren spent two years working as a water and sanitation volunteer in Honduras. Her work with the Peace Corps led her to a graduate degree in public administration with a focus on nonprofit management. Meanwhile, Keith spent his summers working as a fishing guide in Alaska and his winters traveling in South America. Keith visited Lauren three times during her Peace Corps service en route to South America. His love of fishing and camping drew him to Patagonia and led to his graduate degree in fisheries science. Lauren then worked as director of global programs at University Prep, an independent school in Seattle; she spent eight years sending students overseas, hosting international students and teaching a course called “Global Leadership.” Keith and Lauren married in September 2007. Keith began working as a

Picklers could use your support Membership in Sequim Picklers is growing by leaps and bounds as interest grows in the sport of pickleball. There are now 131 members, including those who travel from both Port Angeles and Port Townsend, to play at Third and Fir streets in Sequim. Play has been expanded to include more winter days indoors at the Boys & Girls Club when the facility is available. Che ck the Sequim Picklers’ website at sequimpicklers.net to Guest see the play C olumn schedule, pick up a Jan Tatom membership application, scan the pictures of picklers in action or just to see what is available. For those interested but unfamiliar with the sport, classes and loaner paddles are available, or just stop by the courts to watch and learn; you always are welcome. Local youth learn the sport through clinics provided by the Sequim Picklers at the Boys & Girls Club in Sequim, with the last clinic held for 21 students on Dec. 28. More joint activities are planned with the Boys & Girls Club, including a youth league for next summer. The next clinic will be held in La Push. It will provide instruction to middle school and high school students and their teacher coaches. The Sequim Picklers are partnered with the City of Sequim and Sequim Family Advocates to build eight tournament-quality pickleball courts, to be located in the southwest corner of Carrie Blake Park. The final location will be published in the comprehensive Carrie Blake Park Master Plan. The main hurdle to court construction is the $216,000 cost. So far the Picklers have raised — through donations, pledges and grants — $105,055 of the funds needed. Thus far, six grants have been written and more are in the drafting stage. Thanks go to the City of Sequim for the $51,000 budgeted for the courts; First Federal for the $5,000 challenge grant, Sequim Sunrise Rotary for its $500 pledge and to the Olympic Medical Foundation for its $500 donation. Currently, funding assistance is being sought from

Sequim had the big lead, the majority of the crowd and the home court advantage after one quarter. The Roughriders had the final 24 minutes, however.

Wiker led the squad with 11 points, five rebounds and three steals. “Kalli was outstanding for us this weekend,” Avalanche coach Joe Marvelle said. “We had a tough game against Lake Oswego on Saturday night. Kalli just came up huge with three big 3-pointers that helped us break open a very close game. (She) brought us great energy and hustle from end to end all weekend long. Sequim High School has a great player to look forward to there.”

The Sequim Picklers’ Jan. 25 clinic for the Quileute Tribal school in La Push was a big success. Members left Sequim at 8:30 a.m. and by 12:30 p.m. they had started their two-hour pickleball clinic with their students in grades 7-12. Sequim Pickler clinic instructors were Doug Hastings, Ben Sanders, Sandy Gunn, and Gary and Margie Rone. Twenty students and two teachers participated on three courts. The group worked on basics strokes such as serving, returning, dinking, ground strokes and lobs, followed by modified games using the skill components just practiced. They finished the day by setting up each court with a fun activity in which the students could win raffle tickets for a drawing at the end of the day. One court had targets for placement skill, another court had a modified pickleball game where one person takes on two players (called King of the Court). The third court played standard doubles with one team being the King of the Court and would take on all challengers. First winner of three points would reign as the King or Queen. The prizes for the drawing were several pickleball items from the National Pickleball Tournament in Arizona. Prizes included hats, a pickleball paddle and pickleball carrying bags. Mark Jacobson, the school’s principal/superintendent, said, “I spoke with the staff at the end of the day and they said that the students loved it. I guess I will be ordering equipment and supplies! I can’t thank you enough for coming up and teaching a clinic on this. It gives our students something else to do besides playing basketball. I greatly appreciate it.” Jacobson learned about pickleball while watching the Sequim Picklers play and visiting its booth during the Sequim Lavender Festival. — Submitted by Doug Hastings, President, Sequim Picklers

Sequim wrestling finished its regular season with its annual All Comers Tournament on Jan. 30. The tournament featured 23 Sequim wrestlers vying against eight other teams in round robin weight class face-offs. “It’s a chance to give all of our wrestlers some more mat time at the end of the season,” said Sequim head coach Charles Drabek. Six Sequim wrestlers finished their regular season as winners of their weight class — Grant Pierson at 145 pounds, Kevyn Ward 160 pounds, Nick Barrett 285 pounds, and Kiara Pierson, Alma Mendoza and Madison Uranga in different girl categories. Mendoza said she and rival Chloe Rogers of Port Townsend, both state-ranked wrestlers, opted not to wrestle at the tournament because they likely would be facing off a few times in the postseason. The tournament also served as a primer for subregionals for the Wolves’ boys and girls with the boys heading to Olympic High School in Bremerton and the girls to Decatur High School in Federal Way both on Feb. 5-6.

If the world was crazy you know what I’d do? I’d walk off the earth and sleep in a shoe I would call myself crazy and look really cool I would bounce and pounce and say I was new I could say I was new but that’s not really true That’s what I’d do if the world was crazy. If the world was crazy you would what I’d be? I would be a gorilla and smell like vanilla I would be a pig and dance a jig I would be a frog and dance with a hog That’s what I’d be if the world was crazy. If the world was crazy you know what I’d sing? I would sing a croak and act like a dope I would sing a song and play a cog I would sing a horse and play of course I would sing a frog and play a log That’s what I’d sing if the world was crazy. — By Abraham Torres

Shhh — this is a well-kept secret her. She can tell you the different parts of her body. She even uses 2-3 word sentences regularly and can answer your questions about what she wants for lunch. Between 3-4 years, he is mastering climbing, throwing, jumping and running. He thoroughly enjoys playing with other children and loves it. This is a great age for him to be in preschool. He asks “why” and “what” questions. He can even wait for his turn sometimes. As age 5 approaches, she can hop on one foot and even practice tumbling and rolling around. Her drawings may even look like a face when she wants them to. Most of her speech is fairly clear. She continues to like to play with other children and that time gives you a break. By age 6, he is into throwing and kicking a ball. He can dress himself but may need some help with zippering or snapping. He enjoys playing organized games with other children like Simon Says or tag. Kindergarten is a source of great excitement for him.

The Baha’i

1 John 5:13 Someone is promoting a “false truth claim” that we can’t understand the Bible. It is alleged, “the Bible has been translated so many times it has lost its meaning.” Is that the truth? However, God wants us to believe (trust) His Bible, “These things I have written ... so that you may know that you have eternal life.” 1 John 5:13. Also, “and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” John 8:32. He also wants us to know that the Bible was written so we could know we are saved. We are also commanded to understand His will for us. “So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” Ephesians 5:17. Can you guess who is promoting the idea that “the Bible cannot be understood?” Or that the Bible has lost its meaning over the ages? Could it be the same one who told Adam and Eve, “You shall not surely die!” Genesis 3:4. Want to know more? Call for a Bible answer to your Bible question.

You have a sense that things are coming to an end as his growing continues. You are now making plans with him for what happens next. Other people have entered her life as she begins dating. You feel parenting is almost over. As he gets married and begins a family of his own, you think you are done. You aren’t. You are just entering a new phase of parenting. Now your children have different questions; questions about what house they should buy or what should they do with the baby when she cries. These are all new things to teach, new lessons to learn. Remember, we said parenting goes on forever. Enjoy today because tomorrow comes quickly.

LEGAL NOTICE Notice of Public Hearing on Transit Service Improvement N OT I C E I S H E R E B Y GIVEN that the Clallam Transit System will hold a public hearing to receive public input and comments on a proposed service improvement during the regular meeting of the transit gover ning Board on Monday, Februar y 22, 2016. The public meeting will begin at 1:00 p.m. at the Clallam Transit System, 830 West L a u r i d s e n B o u l eva r d , Port Angeles, Washington. The public is encouraged to attend the public meeting and hearing and provide testimony. Written comment is also being taken and will be considered as public testimony for the public hearing. All written testimony is due by February 12. The Board will consider taking action on the proposed service improvement following the public hearing. This service change improvement is to add an 11:30 a.m., trip leaving the Port Angeles Gateway Transit Center on Route No. 30-Highway 101 Commuter service. This route has 30-minute service, except between the hours of 9:00 a.m., and 12:00 noon when the route has hourly service. Adding the trip at 11:30 a.m. will reduce crowding on the 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon trips, foster additional ridership, and improve on-time perfor mance. The cost of this additional service is in the 2016 approved budget. The proposed effective date is March 20, 2016. Copies of infor mation detailing the proposed service improvement will be available prior to the public meeting and hearing at the Clallam Transit System or phone 4521315 or 1/800-858-3747, or on the system’s website at www.clallamtransit.com. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accommodations provided upon request. Please contact Clallam Transit at 830 West Lauridsen Boulevard, Por t Angeles, or phone 4521315 by Februar y 12. The public hearing site is accessible to the physically disabled. Foreign language interpreters, interpreters for people with hearing impairments, and taped information for people with visual impairments may be provided if requested with advance notice. Clallam Transit System complies with all federal requirements under Title VI which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin.
