Marijuana stores coming soon Two retail shops set to open in Sequim by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

The City of Sequim delayed the presence of retail recreational marijuana via moratoriums for a year, but after the final ban expired last August, two store owners are on the cusp of opening within the city limits. Anthony Owen, owner of Karma Cannabis, 131 River Road, underwent and passed the final inspection from the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (WSLCB) on Friday, Feb. 5. Approval from the WSLCB should issue Owen his pending state marijuana retail license and allow him to receive a business license from the City of Sequim needed to open. “We’re about 90 percent through the buildout,” Owen said in early February.

Councilors give city manager high marks and a pay raise Community members get their first look at a glass art sculpture in memory of Bobbi Burkett at the Sequim Civic Center on Friday, Feb. 5. The piece, constructed by Bob Rigg of Seattle Glassblowing Studio, was donated by former Sequim City Manager Steve Burkett as a memorial to his late wife Bobbi. About $11,000 was raised by the community — including about 100 donors from more than 10 different states — through a fund created by the Olympic View Community Foundation for the sculpture. Foundation executive director Sue Ellen Riesau and Steve Burkett unveiled the sculpture, a piece that features 10 glass plates mounted on a metal armature. “Bobbi really had two passions: art and local democracy,” Steve Burkett noted, adding Bobbi earned a political science degree with a minor in art before spending decades in the arts. “Her favorite colors were purple and lavender, so we asked that the artist include that (in the sculpture),” Burkett said. “I think (Bob Rigg) did a great job on this.” The sculpture is now permanently installed in the southeast corner of the Civic Center lobby. Sequim mayor Dennis Smith noted the piece’s position will catch sunlight as the sun rises and the sun’s rays as it sets. Sequim Gazette photo by Michael Dashiell

Sequim agrees to temporary lease with Little League by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

After nearly six months on the job, Sequim city councilors seem to like their new city manager. On Monday, Feb. 8, they unanimously approved 6-0 with Candace Pratt absent, a pay increase for Charlie Bush, who succeeded former City

Manager Steve Burkett in August 2015. The decision follows Bush’s performance review in executive session on Feb. 6 where he received a rating of 8.7 out of 10. Mayor Dennis BUSH Smith said they recognize Bush is early into his tenure and there are things they will be able to better evaluate through a full budget cycle.

Trail set for temporary closing at park Ramp, redecking may close bridge section up to 5 weeks Sequim Gazette staff

Beginning in Feb. 15, ramp and re-decking work will close the Olympic Discovery Trail across the Dungeness River in Sequim for up to five weeks, depending on weather and other factors. Detour signs are being posted. Thanks to a $100,000 donation from the First Federal Community Foundation, officials with the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe are able to redo the decking on the historical Dungeness Railroad Bridge and adjoining ramp in Railroad Bridge Park. The often slippery and weakening wooden deck will be replaced with concrete — mirroring the newly built 750-foot steel trestle that connects to the bridge. The length of closure is weather dependent. If everything goes smoothly, project managers say, it could be reopened in as little as three weeks, but construction or weather problems could delay reopening by another week or two. The same detour route used during trestle reconstruction will be posted. The detour route (east to west) leaves the trail in Sequim at Fifth Avenue, goes north on Fifth to Old Olympic Highway, turns west across the river on the Old Olympic Highway bridge, then south on Heath Road to rejoin the trail. In preparation to adequately support the anticipated concrete surface, volunteers with the Peninsula Trails Coalition spent about 100 volunteer hours reinforcing the structural integrity of the ramp.

I also like the community service aspect of it. • What’s the best part of the Irrigation Festival? I like walking down the crowded streets and seeing people happy.

I’d like to show others and all of this town how much I appreciate it. I remember one of the queens or princesses looked straight at me and waved and I practiced the wave, and she told me that’s how you wave. Ever since then I remember that being my inspiration to join the court because I want to do that. I want to inspire someone to represent Sequim as much as I want to represent Sequim. • What’s the best part of the Irrigation Festival?

Plus, I think it’d be cool to give back and create memories I can look back on. • What’s the best part of the Irrigation Festival? The Street Fair. I don’t go shopping very often but everything is on display and it’s just great to walk with my family. Plus elephant ears are the best part.

licensing is complete, in hopes of sourcing most of their products locally, Halpern and Clark already have met with nearby producers and processors. “We would like there to be a local emphasis,” Clark said. In May 2014, Halpern was awarded the opportunity to be the sole recreational marijuana retailer in Sequim through the state-conducted lotter y system first used to limit the number of storefronts within counties and cities. Since then however, with the mandated integration of medical marijuana with recreational starting in July, state officials have opted to accept additional applicants. This change allowed other recreational retailers, besides Halpern, like Owen to pursue setting up shop in Sequim, too. Once Karma Cannabis and Nature’s Gifts are open for business, Sequim will become eligible for a portion of the excise tax shared with cities and counties where licensed marijuana retailers are physically located.

Washington St., Suite C, also is preparing for business. As for the store’s nearly complete interior, both Halpern and manager Matthew Clark wanted the atmosphere to be “warm, comfortable and professional,” Clark said. “We went to a lot of stores and none of them had a very uniform theme,” he said. “We want people to feel like they can come in and relax, look around, get information and not have to rush in and out,” Halpern said. Once the security system is up and running, Halpern and Clark expect to have their final state inspection and aim to open in two to three weeks. Although they can’t begin purchasing inventory, such as flowers, concentrates, oils, topicals, edibles and infused beverages, until all

reational marijuana first hit the market, the taxation is a single excise tax of 37 percent at the time of retail sale. For fiscal years 2016 and 2017, a total of $6 million will be distributed. By 2018, the amount shared among cities and counties will increase based on a distribution formula. According to the Fiscal Year 2016 (July 1, 2015-June 30, 2016) “Distributions to Local Governments for Marijuana Enforcement” from the WSLCB, of the $6 million distributed Port Angeles received $18,710 and Clallam County got $28,065. Once the largely unregulated medical dispensaries no longer will be allowed beginning in July and the medical industr y must merge with recreational, it too will come under WSLCB regulations and the excise tax. The excise tax, however, doesn’t include local sales tax. In an attempt to make medical marijuana still an affordable option for medicinal users, medical marijuana is exempt from the retail sales tax to qualifying patients and their

designated providers. Upon opening, Nature’s Gifts and Karma Cannabis will sell recreational marijuana, but come July, both Halpern and Owen plan to apply for their medical marijuana endorsement from the WSLCB so to provide medical marijuana to qualifying patients or designated providers who have been issued recognition cards. It’s unknown how well medical marijuana patients will transition to purchasing from retail outlets where some, but not all taxes are exempt, Halpern said. Across the state in January, the sale of more than 9,000 pounds of recreational marijuana totaled more than $77.55 million, according to Liquor and Cannabis Board. As of Jan. 19, retail purchases totaled more than $420 million since the first sales in July 2014, according to Aaron Hanson, Liquor and Cannabis Board budget analyst. Retail sales in Clallam County account for more than $3.68 million of the grand total. Reach Alana Linderoth at alinderoth@sequimgazette. com.

Dinius

From page A-1 the trials. Like dozens of other competitors in both men’s and women’s races, Dinius’ road to the trials was anything but smooth. Two major post-college injuries nearly derailed her running career. The Olympic hopeful now sees them as blessings in disguise. “There were moments I had all but run out of hope,” she says. “But with my running friends and Shane (Dinius, her husband), I said, ‘This is where I’m at. I really need help.’ Your community is really important, as is having grace with yourself and patience, being OK with what happens.” “Running is such a gift as long as I have it. When it’s over, I’ll find something else.”

In between cross country and track seasons in that final high school season, Marcy won Borderclash, a premier prep event pitting the top runners of Washington and Oregon regardless of school size. The marks were impressive to those close to her, including classmate Shane Dinius. The two would marry on New Year’s Eve, 2011. “We first met in sixth grade, so we’ve known each other a very long time,” he says. “In seventh and eighth grade we ran on the cross country team. We’ve been running together since.” “In her senior year of high school, she was not just winning things in our league but winning Borderclash, winning state,” Shane says. “I knew she was a talented runner. (Then) I realized she was a very, very talented runner.” Marcy’s persistence in running became an inspiration back home, too: Stu and Ione Marcy, her parents, started running road races during her prep career and haven’t stopped. “A life-changer, it sure was,” Stu says now. “Ione was the driving force; she’d run long distances right from the get-go.” Stephanie Marcy finished her prep career with school

records in the 800, 1,600, 3,200 and 5,000 meters. Following graduation from Sequim High in 2007, she earned an athletic-academic scholarship to Stanford University, which boasted one of the top cross country teams in the nation.

Starring at Stanford Marcy ran varsity for the cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field teams for four years at Stanford. She was named team captain three times while earning three Academic All-American honors and four Athletic All-American honors. Her career at Stanford was marked by persistence: While not the fastest runner on the Cardinal cross country squad, she twice wound up the top finisher at the NCAA championships and second her senior year; while she kept improving on her times, several of her teammates went down with injuries. “She really started to hit her stride in college — she was getting faster year after year,” Shane Dinius says. “Her freshman year, she was getting used to the high mileage. (By the end) she realized she’s capable of running with the best.” On the track, she earned her first All-American honor

It features an initial 2.2-mile loop taking runners by the Staples Center, then begins the first of four, six-mile out-and-backs to complete the 26.2 miles. “Pretty great for the spectators,” Dinius says, “but not for running a fast marathon.” Reach Michael Dashiell at Dinius won’t have much to compare the course to: editor@sequimgazette.com.

Soon following her collegiate career, Stephanie Dinius suffered what’s called a hip labral tear, one involving a ring of cartilage — called the labrum — that follows the outside rim of the socket of one’s hip joint. The Mayo Clinic likens the labrum to a rubber seal or gasket to help hold the ball at the top of the thighbone securely within one’s hip socket. “The first few months, I wasn’t aware of how bad it was,” Dinius says. “I was just limping along.” Limping right into training for the spring 2012 Olympic Trials in the 10,000 meters. “I had this idea in my mind I could get through it. After a couple of months of trying to train and not doing what I what I needed, (it was time).” The labral tear meant surgery. “I guess it was good timing,” she says now. “I guess it made up for all those years (running healthy) in college.” So began a year-long-plus

in the 10,000 meters in 2010 by placing eighth, and another the next year, placing sixth. Throughout college, Marcy remained remarkable injury free — or so she thought.

Shane and Stephanie Dinius have called Boston home for about a yearand-a-half. Shane works as a marketing manager at Wayfair, an e-commerce company that sells furniture. Stephanie is working toward her Master of Education degree in Counseling: Sport and Performance Psychology at Boston University. Ultimately, she’d like to be in the academic setting, counseling athletes one-on-one. She also took on her first coaching job, working as an assistant coach with Division III Wheelock College’s cross country coaching staff. “Ultimately we want to head out west at some point, but we’ll be in Boston for a couple of years at least,” Shane says.

Saturday’s will be her firstever marathon. She locked up an automatic berth in the marathon trials when she raced to an eighth-place finish at the USA Half Marathon Championships in Houston in January 2014. “Every week (I’ve run) has been my longest run ever,” Dinius says. “It’s fun to get into this new territory. It’s pretty cool to wake up in the morning and realize, ‘I don’t know if its possible for me to do this.’” The trails will feature top U.S. racers such as American marathon recordholder Deena Kastor, Olympic Games bronze medalist Shalane Flanagan (10k) and Olympian Desiree Linden (marathon, 2012), among others. For the first time, both men’s and women’s races air live on network television, on NBC. “I have very little expectations (for her placing) — I hope that carries through this next week,” Dinius says. “For NCAA (championships), there was a lot of pressure: big meet, very competitive. I would get really nervous, but it was something I’d done before. It wasn’t a completely new experience or challenge. This really is.” She’ll have her parents Stu and Ione, plus her husband Shane and his parents, there to root her on. “We can pick any spot on the street see her eight times,” Stu Marcy says. There will be other familiar faces on the course as well, Dinius notes, including some college teammates. “I’ve raced against these women in different races,” she says. “In a way it’s a little intimidating because they are experienced in the marathon.” Dinius’ husband says he expects this won’t be the last time she races with the best in the nation. “I don’t think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her,” Shane Dinius says. “I definitely think she’s going to come back for the next cycle. I really view this as a long-term thing; she’s only beginning to enter her marathoning years.”

process of recovery. Starting in May 2012, Dinius took four months off of running, rehabbing on a bike and in the pool. Six months in, she wasn’t doing runs of longer than 30 minutes. By eight months in, she was starting her regular running plan, and by about 10 months out of surgery she was putting in faster workouts. It was more than 12 months from her surgery to her first race. “I came out of it with a better appreciation,” Dinius says. “It was not guaranteed I would be able to run at a high level again. I had renewed passion and strengths, (with) dreams and goals I’d be able to chase. It was a good thing in the end.” In the fall of 2014, Dinius suffered another setback with an injury to her sacrum, a triangular bone in her lower back. The pain she felt was a stress reaction, a condition right before a fracture. This injury was perhaps harder to deal with than the one requiring surgery. “It’s really tricky how long to take off,” Dinius says. “Everyone is different. I took plenty of time off, I was really careful, I thought. It was really tricky, day-by-day. You can’t just go get an MRI each week.” She re-injured her sacrum a second time — “I think I just pushed it too far,” she says — but has been healthy since April 2015. The reality that the vast majority of most long distance runners get major injuries had hit home. “Two big ones,” Dinius says now. “Other than that, I feel I’ve been pretty lucky.” “Realizing that it’s not over for me, it’s like this gift,” she says. “I really put myself in God’s hands. When it’s over, he will really make it clear that it’s over.”

By her second year running at Sequim Middle School, the young Stephanie Marcy had moved up to the team’s second-best runner behind Natalie Jones, who also would go on to post impressive marks as a runner at Sequim High. In between her eighthgrade and freshman academic years, Marcy decided to try the North Olympic Discovery Marathon. “I don’t know what I was thinking,” she says now. “(I was) totally unprepared for it.” Stu Marcy, her father, recalls how spent his daughter was after that first long run. “She basically just collapsed, she’d run so hard,” he said. “Obviously, she had a lot of drive.” Stephanie Marcy finished in two hours, two minutes and 12 seconds — a 9:19 pace, and first among females 14 and younger. (She would go on to complete the NODM half five more times, placing ninth the next year, third in 2005 and female half-marathon champion in 2006, 2007 and 2008). The young runner already was on Sequim High cross country coach Harold Huff’s radar. “He said, ‘I’m looking forward to having you on the team,’” Marcy recalls. “Getting encouragement from him was huge. Having him believe in me was very helpful.” Under the guidance of Huff during the fall cross country season and sprint coach Don Lichten during track and field season, Marcy launched into an impressive prep career. In cross country, along with helping Sequim to four consecutive state team berths, she earned 14th place as a freshman, eighth as a sophomore, second place as a junior and, as a senior in 2006, Washington state 2A champ. On the track, Marcy earned medals in both 1,600and 3,200-meter races as a sophomore, then top-four finishes in both races as a junior. In her senior year, she was state 2A champ in the 1,600-meter race and second as 3,200 meters.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thanks for sharing fields

On behalf of the North Olympic Peninsula Youth Lacrosse Mountaineers, I would like to thank the Sequim School District/Greywolf Elementary School, Port Angeles School District/Stevens Middle School and the Storm King Soccer Club for sharing their field space with our players for the upcoming youth lacrosse season. There are many youth sports in our community and a limited number of playing fields. Without the cooperation of these groups, our players would not have a place for games or practice and would not be able to play. Mountaineers Lacrosse players and their families are excited about the season starting and invite the community to come out and see the kids play. Again, thank you for the community support!

A life saved

About two weeks ago, a kind and observant passerby saved the life of one very near and dear to me — my husband, Henrik Elbo. This kind person noticed him acting strangely behind the wheel of his car while parked in the QFC parking lot, called 9-1-1 and requested assistance. As it turned out, my husband was in the throes of a diabetic seizure which the paramedics were able to reverse through immediate intervention in the form of IVs, sugarladen fluids and food. It is no exaggeration to say that if medical help had not been called, Henrik may not be alive today. There are no words adequate enough to express my appreciation for what this kind stranger did to save my husband’s life and to thank the paramedics for their swift response to this emergency call. We both have much for which to be grateful. Thank you one and all! Marijke Elbo Sequim

Kudos to PFOA

Over the years, we have donated to many charities and a few provide excellent services for the money and goods donated. Excellent people charities include The Salvation Army and most food banks and free soup kitchens. The BEST animal no-kill sanctuary and adoption charity we know is local between Sequim and Port Angeles, and provides rescue, food, shelter, grooming, spaying and neutering, medical and veterinarian services, and adoption services to unfortunate animals and unwanted pets in our community. This well-run organization is Peninsula Friends of Animals. In addition to providing humane and loving treatment to all of its “boarders,” in 2015 alone Peninsula Friends of Animals arranged adoptions for 148 felines and one dog to caring people, who will benefit from the unconditional love and warmth provided by these new pets. We are the beneficiaries of one of those felines and Rosalie is a joy to be around. She is even teaching her “new brother” (Simba) how to physically open doors. This testament is unsolicited but such a valuable community service, as provided by Peninsula Friends of Animals and its 75 volunteers, should be supported, appreciated and known for its accomplishments.

A smash hit at OTA

Agnes and Michael, played magnificently by Angela Poynter-LeMaster and Ron Graham, in the musical “I Do! I Do!” went through 50 years of up and down marriage on the stage of the Olympic Theatre Arts playhouse. The standing ovation was indicative of the true theater craftsmanship we were privileged to witness this past Saturday evening. This musical’s debut performance on Broadway in New York City in 1966 with Mary Martin and Robert Preston, I am sure, was terrific. Well, this musical’s performance on North Sequim Avenue in Sequim in 2016 is also terrific. Don’t miss it! George Will Sequim

Bill aims at taxing campaigns A Republican lawmaker wants to tax political campaigns and use the money to teach civics in schools and boost enforcement of the state’s election laws. The idea from state Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, is to treat candidates, initiative campaigns and political committees — including those run by the Democratic and Republican parties — like small companies and require Guest them to pay business taxes if they collect enough Opinion in contributions. He’s introduced Sen- Jerry Cornfield ate Bill 6232 to get it done. Eight senators, including Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe, D-Bothell, are co-sponsors. “What better and more popular thing to tax than politicians” Fain told the Senate education committee at a recent hearing. Fain didn’t get quizzed on whether it’s even legal to tax political activity in this manner. If somehow it could be done, however, this is a good year to make money in this manner. Elections attract big sums of money, especially this year when voters will be casting ballots for a president, U.S. senator, 10 members of Congress and a governor. Also every seat in the state House and about half of those in the Senate are on the ballot, though not Fain’s. Four years ago, contributions totaled $166.1 million, according to records compiled by the state Public Disclosure Commission. Candidates hauled in $61.5 million and committees took in $104.6 million. The tally doesn’t take into account federal races which Fain’s bill aims to do. Here’s how it would work. Washington imposes a business and occupation tax — B&O for short — on the gross receipts of business activities conducted within the state. Fain’s bill would apply the rules to campaigns and committees. There is a threshold. A com-

pany will owe taxes if its receipts — or contributions in the case of a candidate — exceed $56,000 in a calendar year. An analysis by the Department of Revenue estimates this would result in 2,000 new taxpayers, generate $937,000 for the state in the fiscal year that starts July 1 and $1.6 million in the next budget. Who might pay? Both Dave Somers, Snohomish County’s new executive, and John Lovick, the former one, would have paid something based on their 2015 campaigns. But none of Everett City Council candidates would owe taxes. Fain’s bill would steer part of the revenues to the Secretary of State’s office to develop a curriculum for teaching civics to students in secondary schools and colleges. “Why is this not an obvious one to do especially when you can use the money to give us a civically literate society,” Fain said following the hearing. Another chunk would go to the Public Disclosure Commission to bolster its ability to investigate campaign complaints. And a third less altruistic reason is to make every one running for office experience what small business owners go through with taxes, he said. “I do want every state elected official to fill out a B&O form,” he said. Though it seems unlikely this bill will reach the governor’s desk, it still is moving in that direction. Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, who heads the education panel and is a co-sponsor, said he intends to move it to the Ways and Means Committee where the chairman, Sen. Andy Hill, R-Redmond, also is a backer of the bill. There’s no organized opposition. Maybe that’s because, as Fain said, there’s not a more deserving group to tax than politicians.

Families take a hit in new economy As Americans, we strongly value both work and family … but as citizens we’ve structured our economy and laws to too often force people to work at the expense of their families. We have given millions of parents the cold choice of leaving their job and not getting any pay when they have a baby or figuring out how to hand over their precious newborn child to others to care for, in order to go to work to pay the rent (and child care). Back in 2007, the state Senate, with Democrats leading and two Republicans joining in, passed Family Leave Insurance with a funding source, a 2-cent per hour payroll premium. But when it got to the Democratic House, the majority party balked, stripped the funding source and set up a committee to discuss and recommend how to implement Family Leave Insurance. And then the fiscal crisis hit, the Legislature was paralyzed, and both Democrats and Republicans abandoned any pretext of helping working families balance the economic realities of caring for a newborn while holding onto your job. Taking care of newborns or newly adopted children hasn’t gotten any easier since 2007. Our population has continued to age, meaning

A-8

more workers have elderly parents or spouses – or are encountering more health problems themselves. Wages have stagnated, jobs have disappeared and the cost of child care, especially for infants, has skyrocketed. We need family leave insurance now more than ever. Some companies, like Google Guest and Microsoft, Opinion have stepped up with expanded John Burbank parental leave for their employees, the vast majority of which are high-income professionals. As to the rest of the workers in the state … you are on your own. State Rep. June Robinson, D-Everett, is one legislator who is stepping up for the children and workers of our state. She wasn’t in the Legislature in 2007, so she brings a new reality and new wisdom to family leave insurance. Her bill, House Bill 1273, would provide 12 weeks of leave for the birth or adoption of a child or to care for a seriously ill family member. A worker taking family leave would receive two-thirds of her wages for

those 12 weeks, capped at $1,000 a week. This family leave insurance is financed by two-tenths of a percent payroll premium, paid by both workers and their employers. It also covers workers’ own serious injuries or illnesses, so that if you are struck by cancer or in a serious accident and can’t go to work, you get this insurance. If you are forced to go on bed rest before you give birth, to protect the life of the child-to-be and your own health, you also get this insurance.

Broad support

Dunshee is more inclined than the previous chairman to bring up this family leave insurance bill in his committee. That is the next step toward eventual passage. So maybe there is hope for an actual law with actual funding for the parents of newborns and newly adopted children, enabling them to care for, nurture and teach these youngest children, without having to juggle credit cards statements, bills and bank balances. This bill brings hope for our elderly who want their loved ones gathered near during their final weeks. It extends a lifeline for the woman diagnosed with breast cancer. Family leave insurance is a completely American solution, like Social Security. The people who are the beneficiaries already have paid into the system, the pool of workers who are covered is universal, no one gets a free ride and all of us get the security and financial footing we need when we bring home a new baby. It is good for your neighbors, your friends and your family. It is good for us!

Washington’s common sense proposal is modeled after successful programs in other states. Robinson has been joined by Snohomish County legislators Mike Sells, DEverett, Ruth Kagi, D-Seattle, Luis Moscoso, D-Mountlake Terrace, Cindy Ryu, D-Shoreline, Derek Stanford, D-Bothell, as well as Sens. John McCoy, D-Tulalip, and Maralyn Chase, D-Edmonds in sponsoring this legislation.

Nichols, county prosecutor, launches website for inquiries by ROB OLLIKAINEN Olympic Peninsula News Group

The Clallam County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office has launched a new website where citizens can submit public records requests, inquire about a case or raise concerns about law and justice issues. The site, www.clallam.net/prosecutor, has links to news releases, radio interviews and information about the various functions of the office.

Promote transparency “The site has been designed to promote greater transparency with regard to the operation of the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, the criminal justice system and all manner of law- and justice-related issues,” Clallam County

Prosecuting Attorney Mark Nichols said in a announcement Jan. 28. “I am particularly grateful to (systems analyst) Dean Anderson of the county’s IT (Information Technology) Department for his technical support in developing the site as well as the team of employees within the Prosecuting Attorney’s NICHOLS Office who contributed to the completion of this project over the last several months.” Nichols will publish occasional “prosecutor posts” to discuss law and justice themes. He also will provide an events calendar for his meetings with community groups. The website has an e-mail form and lists phone numbers for felony, district

court, juvenile court, civil and family support divisions. As the elected prosecuting attorney, Nichols also serves as the county’s ex officio coroner under the home-rule charter. “This has been a real team effort and one that we are confident will provide an invaluable service to the community,” Nichols said in announcing the website. “Please check back often, as we will continue to develop the site in the months to come.” Rob Ollikainen is a reporter with the Olympic Peninsula News Group, which is composed of Sound Publishing newspapers Peninsula Daily News, Sequim Gazette and Forks Forum.

Little League agreement

City councilors unanimously approved an interim agreement with the Sequim Little League on Feb. 8 to continue using the Dr. James F. Standard Memorial Youth Athletic Park off Silberhorn Road through the end of the year. They also retroactively approved contracts from 2011-2015. City Attorney Craig Ritchie said they’ve had trouble getting a long-

built by a Boy Scout will host up to nine logos for voluntary nonprofit, non-political, non-commercial organizations with the primary goal of providing services that directly benefit the citizens of Sequim said City Clerk Karen Kuznek-Reese. City councilors unanimously approved the resolution on Feb. 8 to allow logos to go up on the kiosks at the end of the sidewalk on West Washington Street prior to the roundabout and on Simdars Road as vehicles come off of U.S. Highway 101. City staff said there aren’t specific membership requirements for eligible organizations and that religious organizations are eligible, too. Each organization is limited to one logo and a lottery will be held to determine selected spots if more than 18 nonprofits apply. Ted Miller suggested having a third sign board constructed on Sequim Avenue’s entrance to town if the level of interest is high enough. Each sign would cost a onetime fee of $50 for each logo and nonprofits have 30 days to apply to Kuznek-Reese by calling 683-4139. Reach Matthew Nash at mnash@ sequimgazette.com.

“But we are very pleased with the level of communication we have with Charlie and how well his empowering management style has been received by staff,” Smith said. For his performance, Bush receives a 1.5 percent pay increase or $1,800 more a year on top of his $120,000 base salary. City staff say this is the same amount received as other nonrepresented employees. Bush was acknowledged for his weekly updates to the city council and his efforts to bring community partners together. However, city councilors said they want to prioritize reducing property crime rates and be more sensitive to local perceptions. New City Councilor Bob Lake said he’s “very pleased with Charlie’s performance today” while fellow City Councilor Ted Miller said Bush “has done an incredibly good job so far … we’re very thankful he’s our city manager.” Bush told city councilors he’s thankful for the opportunity to work in Sequim.

said the interim contract through Dec. 31 allows them to have more conversations about proposing a better system for providing services. Janet Gray, a volunteer with the Little League, said the league’s board of advisers is looking for a more symbiotic relationship that benefits the city and Little League. She said they hope to have more things in writing such as the level of care at the park expected. Dr. Standard Park is outside of the city limits and the property was donated by Maurice and Frances Sherk in 1975. The agreement continues that with the city providing utilities, Little League volunteers will maintain the park. Lake said the agreement is one of the ways the city is able to have fewer employees because the Little League does all the maintenance. “The city benefits from this partnership,” he said. Opening day for Sequim Little League is April 16.

To date we have raised over $200,000.” Special honoree at the event will be Kim Wakefield who will deliver the “survivor” story. Also speaking on heart health education will be Dr. Kara Urnes from Olympic Medical Heart Center and Dr. Glenn Barnhart from Swedish Medical Center.

campaign to raise awareness about the critical issue of heart health for women on the Olympic Peninsula. The campaign was so successful that the foundation decided to host an annual event. The educational lunch promotes that the key to eradicating this disease is education. “The purpose of our event is to inspire women to become more educated to improve their heart health. Many women are surprised to learn that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women,” said Urnes. In the first eight years, the event has raised money to benefit patients through the Olympic Medical Center’s cardiac program and save lives, according to OMC officials. Proceeds from the events also have allowed the foundation to partner with local agencies to launch a community-wide Automated External Defibrillator program. All proceeds raised at the educational luncheon once again will benefit local patients with heart disease issues. “We invite all the women Education awareness in our community to join us In 2008, the OMC Founda- at our inspiring luncheon,” tion launched a three-year said Rogers.

The Clallam County Genealogical Society will meet from 10 a.m.-noon Saturday, Feb. 13, at the Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave. Attendees are encouraged to come 15-20 minutes early to register, visit and have a cup of coffee. The public is invited and there is no cost. Barbara Offerman will entertain the group with her presentation of “The way we were — finding family members across the centuries.” How can you organize your genealogy in a simple manner, making it an interesting story for your family and friends? Offerman will tell how you can create a simplistic, understandable and personal family history — a record that is direct enough to capture and hold the attention of the “face-in-the-phone” generation as Offerman puts it. She will blend older and newer technologies she used when setting about the task of creating a Family Book. Her love of history and travel has allowed her to find several generations of ancestors, where they came from in Europe and even the homes in which they lived. For more information, call the Clallam County Genealogical Society from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday-Friday or visit www.clallamcogs.org.

“While we’re sorry to be leaving the heart of downtown Port Angeles,” said UWCC President Jo Johnson, “we are pleased to offer a more accessible office location to our partner agencies and visitors.” The mission of the United Way is to engage the community and focus local resources to improve lives in Clallam County. UWCC and its partner agencies coordinate services and programs to meet the educational, health and income-related needs of people in its communities. The United Way is governed by a board of community representatives and operated by a staff of four. The 2015 Campaign is nearing a conclusion in late March. On Feb. 13, “Super Saturday,” board members and other volunteers will hear from partner agencies as they present their funding requests and program/service deliveries for funding allocations. Helping make the move cost effective were in-kind donations of furniture, furnishings, labor and minor interior remodeling. The Erickson Building space is available for rent.

Long before the crowds fill the grandstands, the carnival rides start up or the making of scones, there is some pageantry to take care of.

The fair, set for Aug. 18-21, has the theme for “Cowboy Boots and Country Roots.” Representing the fair and the county at several other fairs, parades and community events is the royalty, three of whom are to be selected at a ceremony set for March 2.

Diving with Dragons

Traveler’s Journal

About the presentation: When: 7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 11 Where: Sequim High School library, 601 N. Sequim Ave. Cost: Suggested $5 donation (adults); 18 and younger, free Presenters: Burt Jones and Maurine Shimlock Presentation: “Diving with Dragons: Komodo National Park, Indonesia

An adventure to remember at Komodo National Park, Indonesia by BURT JONES and MAURINE SHIMLOCK For the Sequim Gazette

Indonesia is a country of extreme contrasts. Perhaps no place in this vast archipelago exemplifies those contrasts as well as Komodo National Park. The land can be extremely wet or desert-dry. Within a 20-mile stretch of ocean, sea temperatures can vary more than 20 degrees. A two-mile walk might traverse grassy savannas or scale a rough volcanic slope. Underwater we have finned alongside oceanic manta rays with 15-foot wingspans, then hovered quietly watching fingernail-size pygmy seahorses forage among branching corals. And, of course, there be dragons here: the Komodo dragon, Varanus komodoensis, the world’s largest monitor lizard, which exists no place else. Komodo is the first place we ever dived in Indonesia. While we have to admit that the possibility of seeing dragons attracted us to Komodo, it was more the chance to dive in a place where no one else had dived before, the opportunity to travel to an unexplored realm, that lured us on that first trip back in 1993. Twenty-three years ago, what we found amazed us. Today, the same reefs continue to astound traveling divers from around the world. Two oceans border the park, the Pacific on the north and the Indian on the south, and the marine life is very different, depending on where you dive. In the north, the reefs mimic typical South Pacific scenes: dense hard coral gardens with prolific sponge and sea fan growth, surrounded by clouds of colorful small fish. Submerged seamounts in the northern part of the park also attract a fair number of sharks.

Taking it to the big screen

Sequim native is carving out career in Hollywood

by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Wayne Bastrup has made headlines since the day he was born — literally. Although Bastrup grew up in Sequim, he made the front page of the local newspaper as the first baby of the New Year in Jefferson County in 1976. Forty years later and Bastrup still is making a name for himself, only in Hollywood where he’s carved out an acting career. Bastrup has been cast in a variety of films and TV series, but most recently in the films “Love & Mercy,” “Terminator Genisys,” “Sully” and “Radio America.” “There was no way in a trillion years that I ever thought I would

have the opportunity to meet, let alone work on a Clint Eastwood movie,” Bastrup said referring to his most recent project, “Sully,” directed by Eastwood and starring Tom Hanks. “It wasn’t in the realm of any feasible reality.” “He’s a legend,” he said. “So to have the opportunity to have him as my boss for a month blew my mind.” Before making his way to the big screen however, Bastrup spent 18 years in Sequim and graduated from Sequim High in 1994. “Sequim was an ideal place to grow up because it’s such a rural community, you become an outdoor kid whether you want to or not,” he said. With an irrigation ditch running through his backyard, Bastrup has countless memories of playing

along the ditch, losing many G.I. Joes. “I can’t tell you how many I lost down that stream.” In school Bastrup describes himself as a “quiet, shy student, who got good grades and tried to fly below everyone’s radar” but stayed busy playing baseball, basketball, soccer and football. “As I got older, I got restless,” he said. “The Seattle grunge scene exploded as I moved into high school and music became a focus.” Like acting, Bastrup was drawn to drumming as it was a “creative outlet,” he said. After graduation, Bastrup headed for Seattle. When he first entered college, he wanted to become an engineer, then a baseball player, then an English professor, followed by a

Audubon center hosting photo classes

Seq

Topics in Photography will be offered at the Dungeness River Audubon Center, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road in Sequim, beginning at 11 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 18. The class fee is $10 per session and students can attend just one or all sessions. No pre-registration is necessary. Those who attend three sessions or more will receive a oneyear River Center membership. “I have wanted to teach an entry-level photo class at the River Center for quite a while,” said Powell Jones, the center’s executive director. Jones’ love of photography started in his youth and grew with formal training at Central Washington University where he got his bachelor’s degree in geography. During this time, he completed a wide range of classes that focused on the art of photography. Presently, while his work at the River Center keeps him busy, he still finds time to follow his photographic passion, telling image stories of his life with his family, nature and his wife’s passion for knitting. Jones will teach four drop-in sessions, once a month for four months, on third Thursdays at 11 a.m. — Feb. 18, March 17, April 21 and May 19. Each session will last 90 minutes and include a chance to share student art. Classes will emphasize landscapes and subjects in nature. Content will include: • Telling stories with photos; • The importance of individual perspective for unique one-of-akind photos; • The ability of any camera to produce great photos, from expensive SLRs to point-and-shoots to cellphones; • Controlling the light entering the camera; • Challenging what your camera is telling you is “right” and • Taking a lot of pictures and not waiting for the perfect moment. Class fees benefit the River Center’s educational programs. Contact the center at 681-4076 for more information.

Journal From page B-1 wellings from the Indian Ocean nourish a myriad of invertebrates not usually found in the South Pacific, and soft coral growth is more prolific. Dragon activity also varies in different areas of Komodo. Most tourists take walking tours on either Komodo or Rinca, the second largest island in the park, and their first sighting is often a dragon snoozing close to a ranger station. (They love junk food and garbage!) But on our first trip we discovered Horseshoe Bay, now a place where live-aboards anchor for days of spectacular diving. Besides the diving, another attraction is the morning show, where dragons that have never seen the forked stick of a park ranger rouse themselves to chase monkeys and feral pigs back to the fringe of jungle bordering the rocky beach. Over the past 24 years we’ve probably spent more than 12 months’ worth of time diving in Komodo, often remaining at our favorite sites for days or even weeks. We discovered a secluded manta ray cleaning station, places where tiny crustaceans that look like ladybugs cluster over filter feeding invertebrates, and one of the top 10 dive sites in the world — Cannibal Rock. To hear about the Cannibal, you have to come to the show.

About the presenters Burt Jones and Maurine Shimlock are awardwinning photojournalists who left Indonesia and moved to Sequim in 2012. They specialize in documenting tropical marine life and pioneering remote dive destinations, and no, they haven’t yet dived north of the tropics. Their photography has been featured on the

covers of more than a dozen of the world’s most prestigious publications, including GEO, BBC Wildlife, Smithsonian and Natural History. “Secret Sea,” the first large format collection of their photography, has won several publish-

Love is in the Air

ing awards including the Benny Award for best photography book. Jones and Shimlock work with several NGOs, including Conservation International, to educate the world about Indonesia’s reefs and the urgent need to conserve them. They have published two popular guidebooks: “Diving Indonesia’s Raja Ampat” and “Diving Indonesia’s Bird’s Head Seascape,” and manage www.birdsheadseascape.com, which promotes sustainable marine tourism as a viable conservation tool. In 2012, Shimlock was inducted into the Women’s Diving Hall of Fame and honored for her photojournalism and conservation work. Her 2015 Christmas present was the honor of having a new species of damselfish, Chrysiptera maurineae, named for her. Committed to marine conservation, the couple use the art of photography to help preserve life in the sea.

FUN FOR EVERYONE! Helicopters

All for the Families The Sequim Community Orchestra’s latest show at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19, features a first — vocalists — at their free, family-geared concert. Music director Phil Morgan-Ellis brings in local singers Joel Yelland and Robin Reed to perform the duo from Bizet’s “Pearl Fishers” with the orchestra. The program also features such tunes as “March Slave” by Tchaikovsky, “Wedding Day at Troldhaugen” by Grieg and Mozart’s “Sleigh Ride.” The concert, held at Trinity United Methodist Church in Sequim, brings in the orchestra’s after-school strings class, which continues into its third year, to play some short pieces, too. This year, 45 students take classes at three locations in Sequim School District. Above, second- and third-year string students with the after-school Sequim Community Orchestra program plan to play in a portion of the Sequim Community Orchestra’s show on Feb. 19. Lilias Green, orchestra program coordinator, said instruction and other costs are funded entirely by community donors and foundations. “We are an all-volunteer organization, only the teachers are contracted to provide top level instruction,” Green said. “In a district with over 50 percent on the free or reduced lunch program, we fulfill a need for many children whose families are otherwise unable to provide private instruction.” The public may mingle with performers and see instruments up close at 6:30 p.m. and after the show when refreshments are served. Donations are accepted at the door for programming. Submitted photo

Wolves sending 11 to regionals

by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Another pack of Wolves is set for the regional tournament this weekend. In all, 11 Sequim wrestlers will compete in boys and girls tournaments on Feb. 13 for a berth at the 2016 Mat Classic State Championship in the Tacoma Dome. Sequim’s Kiara Pierson was the lone local champion on the weekend at sub-regionals taking the 115-pound bracket at Decatur High School in Federal Way. She and the girls team took fourth on Feb. 6 with 79 points while the boys placed fourth at North Kitsap High School with 171 points behind Olympic in first (344) and Port Angeles second (228). Of the 11 Sequim finalists, four girls advance to the regional tournament on Feb. 13 in Yelm. Sequim’s Pierson opened subregionals with two opening bye rounds followed by a pin of Marissa Covarrubius of North Mason in

1:09 and a pin of Port Townsend’s Ally Bradley in 14 seconds. Both Aylee Bennett (135) and Alma Mendoza (140) took second in their brackets. Bennett opened with a bye and two wins, 5-2 over Aeiraya Bradley of Todd Beamer High and pinning Edith Garcia of Federal

Way in 5:14 before losing 6-0 to Sara Mozeleski of Kentwood in the finals. As she predicted, Mendoza faced her rival Chloe Rogers of Port Townsend in the finals. Mendoza opened with two bye matches and a 6-1 over Anna Watson of Kentwood before losing 8-2 to Rogers.

Sequim’s Abigail Hansted (145) is the fourth girl to advance to districts with a fourth-place finish. She opened with a bye match and a pin over Alexis Tangen of Kingston in 2:36, but she was pinned by Joella Vi of Kentridge in 3:36. In the consolation, she won her next match 11-7 over Leslie Espinoza of Olympic but was pinned in 4:52 by Elizabeth Bibb of Evergreen in the third/ fourth match. Freshman Madison Uranga took sixth place and an alternate spot to regionals at 190 pounds with one pin on the day.

Big numbers The boys will send seven wrestlers and two alternates to regionals in Bremerton on Feb. 13. At sub-regionals, four wrestlers finished second with Olympic’s Jayden Fernandez defeating Grant Pierson (138) 12-4 in the finals, Logan Madison of Olympic pinning Kevyn Ward (160) in 1:06,

For all but one Wolf — or possibly a second — the waters are still. Most members of Sequim’s swimming and diving squad capped their 2015-2016 season with the Olympic League meet in Port Angeles on Feb. 2, setting more than 10 personal best marks or relay splits in the process. Sequim diver Mathew Craig is headed to districts with plenty of momentum after placing second with 310.30 points, a season-best by 45 points and a mark that nearly earned the sophomore an automatic state meet berth. There he may be joined by teammate Liam Payne, who shed 3.3 seconds off of his best 100 breaststroke to 1:21.84 and placed fourth at the league meet. He’ll submit his time for a wild-card entry into the district meet, swim/dive coach Linda Moats said. The West Central District meet is Feb. 12-13 at Hazen High School in Renton. Each of Sequim’s 50 free competitors saw improvement, including Alex Berikoff (27.77), Christian Goodrich (27.87), Brandon Grow (29.79) and David Calderon (30.48). Grow’s effort was a twosecond improvement. Berikoff (1:07.12) and Grow (1:07.34) each improved their 100 free times, Berikoff by 2.5 seconds and Grow by four. Sequim’s Brendon Jack completed his first 11-dive meet, placing fifth with 201.15 points.

Three Sequim High seniors capped their prep careers with a pair of home games last week as the Wolves closed their 20152016 season short of a postseason berth. After falling to Bainbridge the night before, Sequim dropped a 58-34 decision to the visiting North Kitsap Vikings, the Olympic League’s No. 3 team, on Feb. 2. Sequim head coach Justine Wagner said her team had two simple goals in mind for Senior Night: start her trio of seniors and get the entire roster some playing time. “We accomplished that,” Wagner said. Senior guard McKenzie Bentz paced the Sequim

offense with 12 points, hitting a pair of fourth quarter 3-pointers and six free throws. “It didn’t end up how I hoped it would but we fight,” Bentz said. “I can always count on (my teammates) to go out and fight; that’s something I’ll miss about them.” SHS junior post Adrienne Haggerty had a huge game inside against the Viking

defense, going for 11 points, 13 rebounds, four steals and a block. “They’ve got a good post player (in Haggerty),” NK head coach Penny Gienger said. Raelee Moore led a balanced NK attack with 15 points and Adele Keller added nine to lead North Kitsap.

North Kitsap ended Sequim’s season with a loss last week, knocking off the Wolves 7450 on Feb. 2 in Poulsbo. Cole Rabedaux led the Vikings with 27 points and eight rebounds. North Kitsap jumped out to a 22-4 lead after one quarter and had a 35-18 lead by halftime. North Kitsap forced 17 Sequim turnovers and held the Wolves to 14-of-49 (28.6 per-

cent) shooting from the field. Senior Jackson Oliver led Sequim (2-10 in Olympic League play, 6-14 overall) with 19 points, three steals and two assists while sophomore Payton Glasser added 17 points and six rebounds. Nick Faunce, in his final game as a Wolf, had a team-high eight rebounds, while fellow senior Jack Shea added nine points and five rebounds. Besides Faunce, Oliver and Shea, the Wolves saw final games from seniors Arnold Black, Brendon Despain and Alec Holland.

athletes who compete with Port Angeles High School during the regular season, will represent Sequim in individual events at the West Central District meet on Feb. 13, also at Mount Rainer High. Sweet was third on the floor exercise (7.450), third on uneven bars (5.900), fourth on balance beam (5.950) and fourth on vault (6.850) among non-

team qualifiers, each effort earning state bids. Albin, who competed at the state meet in the balance beam last year, placed third in the beam (6.000 points) and fifth in uneven bars (5.600) at the district qualifier for her state berths. Their Port Angeles teammates each advance to the state meet after the Roughriders took top team honors at the seven-team district qualifier with 152.55 points, with North Kitsap (131.425) in second. With just two com-

peting athletes, Sequim placed sixth overall (44.100). Mikka Yamane of Kingston was the top individual at the district qualifier, scoring 33.625 all-around points. Port Angeles’ Maya Wharton was second with 32.150 points and Cassandra Middlestead was third with 31.825 points. Sweet was 12th (21.650 points) and Albin was 22nd (17.950). Top athletes at districts move on to the Washington state gymnastics championships, set for Feb. 19 in Tacoma.

Drabek said he was encouraged by underclassmen like Chris Puksta (132) and Hayden Gresli (145) who took sixth at sub-regionals and “bodes well for the future.” “We finished (the tournament) up about where we did in the regular season, in the middle of the pack, but we look to be on the upswing which is encouraging for kids and coaches as well,” he said. At the tournament, Drabek also was named “Coach of the Year” for the Olympic League, which he said meant a lot to him. “I think it’s more of a reflection of what we as a team have accomplished in improving, competing and striving to get better rather then what I have personally done,” he said.

Sequim’s Future City team places fourth Sequim Gazette staff

While the competition is a few weeks in the past, three Sequim students fared pretty well looking into the future. Lily Engeset, 14, Deven Biehler, 13, and Melanie Byrne, 12, from Olympic Peninsula Academy, placed fourth overall in the Washington State National Engineers Week Regional Future City Competition on Jan. 23 at the DigiPen Institute of Technology. They followed the theme “Waste Not, Want Not” to design their city F’an’rong — Chinese for prosperity — to use waste management systems with various issues such as recycling and energy efficiency in mind.

Sequim’s students presented a model, speech, essay and computer simulation of their city. Learning coach Lilli Hardesty said while the Sequim team placed fourth overall, they placed first in the engineering and land survey knowledge category above 24 teams. Sandpoint Middle School from Idaho took first followed by Three Rivers Homelink from Richland in second, and Pacific Middle School from Des Moines. First-place winners compete in the National Finals on Feb. 13-17 in Washington, D.C. For more information, visit futurecity. org/Washington or www.facebook.com/ wafuturecity.

Valentine’s Day is this coming Sunday. So what’s the big deal? Some people ignore the day and others really do make a big deal of it. What about you? If nothing else, this day should remind you to tell the important people in your life that they are important to you and that you love them. We all should be reminded of this kind of expression of love. Just think about how many times you say “I love you” to your kids. Is it something they hear regularly or just every once in a while? How about your partner? Do you say these words to your partner? It is easy to say the other person knows but that doesn’t make up for saying and hearing these words. There are many ways to say “I love you” even besides the words. The most advertised way is through presents but that isn’t the only way. Even little things like warming up your partner’s coffee or tea when it becomes cool. Making a favorite meal or even just a single dessert is certainly another way. Calling your partner to share happy news. Giving your partner a hug as you

HELEN HALLER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Family Bingo Night was held in the gym on Jan. 29. Sponsored by Haller’s Parent-Teacher Organization and organized by PTO parent Tiffany Barnett, Bingo Night offered an opportunity for family fun and games, as well as pizza and prizes. There were about 100-150 people in attendance. Each person was given six free bingo games and had the opportunity to make a donation to the PTO to get extra cards. Each child got a chance to spin a prize wheel and was guaranteed a prize. For a donation of 50 cents they could spin the wheel again for another prize. This was a huge success, as the kids knew that randomly hidden within the prizes were several

The Cougar Conflict Mediator program is designed to help students to be independent problem solvers on the playground. On Jan. 29, students in grades K-2 were assembled in the afternoon to become acquainted with the program and to recognize 21 new Cougar Conflict Mediators. The Conflict Mediation process, named “Build a Bridge and Cross Over It” was demonstrated to the younger students by Principal Russ Lodge, Assistant Principal Becky Stanton and two student Conflict Mediators. The new mediators, all fourthgrade students, were awarded certificates at the end of the assembly. They are Charley Sturm, Dylan Allen, Terceira Rosa, Taylee Rome, Ernesto Lopez, Emma Sweeny, Alden Smith, Anna Anderson, Kathryn Folstrom, Brian Gallegoes, Ayden Holland, Evan Anderson, Jacob Oliver, Desirea Spalding, Alex Fiamengo, Orin Ledgewood, Mason Eveland, Krista Charters, Sierra Milles, Pearle Peterson and SaVannah Gragg.

The next school board meeting is Tuesday, Feb. 16, with a workshop at 5:30 p.m. and the regular meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the board room. Please note, these are new times. An agenda is available on the district website under Board of Directors. For more information, contact Marilyn Walsh at mwalsh@sequim. k12.wa.us or 582-3262.

Fourth- and fifth-graders took part in a Heart Kids Rag Doll project sponsored by Soroptimists International of Sequim after school during January. Soroptimist members partially constructed the dolls. These were finished by the students, who learned to stuff the dolls, sew on hair, iron on hearts and draw in faces. As a last touch, students wrote notes to the future recipients of the rag dolls. On behalf of the Boys & Girls Club, Sara Maloney accepted the dolls and explained they will be set aside in a care closet to comfort children who have been through difficult situations. “We had a fun day making dolls. When asked how the girls liked the project, they replied by asking for more … so it was a hit,” Soroptimist Amanda Beitzel said. “By participating in this fun craft project, the students made a very personal and meaningful gift offering for another child — a heart gift — mirroring the Soroptimist philosophy of improving lives.”

“winner’s” necklaces. Finding a winner’s necklace meant that child would be able to spray Silly String at Mr. Lodge near the end of the evening. For the climax of the event, Principal Russ Lodge — donning protective eyewear and positioned in a special corner of the gym — allowed nearly 30 kids on cue to spray him with Silly String! Concessions were available for purchase. Thanks the following local businesses: Domino’s Pizza, for donating 10 pizzas; McDonald’s, for 50 free hamburgers and 50 coupons for free French fries; Dairy Queen, for 50 free ice cream tokens. These were all used as prizes on the prize wheel. Thanks also to Tessa Jackson and Emily Ledger from the Boys & Girls Club for emceeing the event and to nearly 30 volunteers that helped make this event possible. “The event allowed kids to be kids and families to connect,” said Heidi Krzyworz, who attended with her family. Haller PTO raised $640!

“You Otter Be Saving”

OLYMPIC PENINSULA ACADEMY For the Future City project, the theme this year was “Waste Not, Want Not.” The student team, comprised of sixth-grader Lily Engeset and eighth-graders Deven Beihler and Melanie Byrne, endeavored to work on a permanent clean solution that would solve the problem with waste overall. They competed against 46 groups, coming in fourth place overall, and earning a firstplace in the land survey category. (See story and photo, B-10)

SEQUIM HIGH SCHOOL Choir instructor John Lorentzen reports students did a great job at Solo and Ensemble competition held in Port Angeles on Jan. 30. The Sequim mixed vocal ensemble, the Sequim men’s vocal ensemble, Silas Baird (bass soloist), Colleen Carpenter (soprano soloist), Eric Hermosada (tenor soloist) and Ian Houghton (baritone

soloist) all received superior ratings and were selected to represent the North Olympic Music Educators at state level competition in Ellensburg at the end of April. The mixed vocal ensemble and Silas Baird received the highest possible score of a 1-plus! (Note: “1” rating is considered superior.) Other participants in Saturday’s event also did very well: The Sequim women’s vocal ensemble; Jacob Fink, Ryan Macedo and Jared Kneidl (baritone soloists); Thomas Arnesan (state first alternate-tenor soloist); Annabelle Armstrong (alto soloist) and Emily Funston and Dori Williams (soprano soloists). Band instructor Vern Fosket shared that in woodwind ensembles, the clarinet duet of Eric Anderson and Blake Eriks received a 1 rating and are going to state. A saxophone quartet with Carmen Wilwert, Thomas Arnesen, Alexis Cromer and Auston Spencer received a 1 rating, and are first alternates for state. A saxophone duet with Carmen Wilwert and Alexis Cromer received

a rating of 1-minus and are second alternates for state. For solo performances, Eric Anderson earned a 1 rating for his piano solo and is going to state. Elizabeth Sweet, solo clarinetist, earned a 1-minus rating and will go to state. Congratulations and good luck to these accomplished young musicians who will participate in all state band and choir competition Feb. 12-13 in Yakima. Mark Knudson, teacher and Future Business Leader Association advisor, would like to congratulate the following winners at FBLA’s Puget Sound Regional Competition held Jan. 30: Morgan Fergusson (freshman), third place in Spreadsheet Applications; Tolin Simpson (junior), first place in Computer Game and Simulation Programming; Kelly Anders (senior), first place in Agribusiness, and Nicole Anders (junior), second place in Accounting. These students qualified to go to the State Championships in Spokane on April 20-23.

Fun facts about Wayne Bastrup:

From page B-1

• Favorite movie: “Trainspotting,” directed by Danny Boyle. Why? “It’s the perfect mix of story, writing, comedy, drama and performance. I’m a sucker for movies that are rooted in reality and take on social or political topics.” • Favorite Sequim memory: “I spent the first 18 years of my life in Sequim, so I have many. Helping to build the Sequim Little League baseball fields, which were a block away from my house, is a good one.” • Role model: “I’m not sure I have any specific

baling hay and even devoting a summer working at the Olympic Game Farm. “I was outside all of the time getting my hands in the dirt and getting stung by nettles,” he said. “All of these experiences shape your work ethic and ultimately, who you are as a person — and who you are as a person is the first thing you start with in acting.” Despite the challenges

associated with becoming an actor, one of the primary things that inspired Bastrup to become an architect also is one of the most enjoyable parts of being an actor. That thing — “Getting to understand how the whole system works.” he said. Bastrup remembers the “awe” he felt when approaching Seattle on the Bainbridge ferry as a child. “The skyscrapers seemed

so impossible. I had to know how they were built and the same goes for Hollywood and filmmaking,” he said. “When I first started, it seemed magical — these entire worlds could be created and put on a screen.” As Bastrup continues to unfold the mechanisms and magic behind Hollywood, he still enjoys creating music, but his 16-month old daughter has stolen the spotlight in his life. “My main interest these days is exploring the world with her,” he said. “Traveling is a bit of a challenge right now, but she’s visited Sequim twice since she was born — no opinion yet from her on what she thinks.” For more information about Bastrup, visit www. waynebastrup.com.

role models I look up to, but there are actors whose careers I admire and aspire to, like Joseph Gordon Levitt, Paul Dano, Ryan Gosling and Ewan McGregor.” • First job: “Well, other than digging ditches for my dad’s plumbing business, my first real job was as a bus boy at Traylor’s Restaurant.” • Do you ever visit Sequim? “I do get back to Sequim, but not as often as I’d like. I have a 16-month-old daughter and traveling is a bit of a challenge right now. My father still lives there and my mother is buried there, so my connection to the area is still very strong.”

as possible before deciding on anything — “Explore,” he said. Bastrup eventually settled into his profession as an architect and worked at a Seattle-based architecture firm. In reaction to the recession, construction began to slow and by 2009 Bastrup was laid off. “My move to California was a direct result of the ‘Great Recession,’” he said. “I tend to be fairly practical and acting at that point was just a hobby.” Given the state of construction, however, and lack of work in Bastrup’s chosen field at the time, he decided to move to Los Angeles. In overcoming the challenges faced in Hollywood, such as finding the right representation, classes, branding and self-promotion, Bastrup said his Sequim upbringing helped. “Growing up in a rural area toughens you up in different ways than growing up in a large city,” he said. “I spent countless hours in the Olympics either hiking, mountain biking or creating mischief.” Bastrup easily recalls digging many ditches for his father’s plumbing company,

Sciatica, Stenosis and Herniated Discs May Be to Blame for Pain and Numbness in Legs LOCAL CLINICS OFFER FREE CONSULTATION TO THOSE SUFFERING FROM BACK AND NECK PAIN

Did you know that over 30 million Americans suffer from back pain every day? Sciatica and herniated discs are often misunderstood. They can result in pain and numbness in the back, legs and feet. This pain affects everything that you do from work to play and ultimately your quality of life. At NW Pain Relief Centers, we want you to know there is hope. We have the technology and experience that has helped thousands of chronic pain sufferers just like you. We offer only the most advanced non-surgical treatments. To determine if our treatment program can help you we are offering a consultation and screening evaluation free of charge. There’s no obligation and the only thing you have to lose is your pain.

Spinal Epidural Injections? Some people find temporary relief from spinal injections, however the pain eventually returns as injections are generally a treatment that aids in the healing process. Patients can become dependent on such injections and can have a difficult time functioning without them. Why spend a lifetime masking pain with spinal injections when there is a more permanent non-surgical healing alternative?

Spinal Injection Complications: •

•

Dural puncture

•

Nerve Damage

Many people try to wait back pain out only to find that it keeps getting worse. They buy new mattresses, try different stretching exercises, learn new techniques for sitting and standing etc., only to find that their condition doesn’t improve. Why suffer longer than you need to? If you are considering extreme measures, visit NW Pain Relief Centers first! Why let any degree of back or neck pain persist if you can stop it before it takes over your life!

Is Surgery the Answer? Consider These Facts Before Surgery •

Back surgery can cost over $50,000

•

Recovery can be very painful and take months or years

•

Surgery may or may not relieve your pain

•

Dependence on prescription drugs may occur after surgery

•

Missed work can amount to thousands in lost wages

•

Outcomes may be uncertain, surgery is not reversible

It is true that surgery may be the answer for certain types of back injuries. When considering your options, ask yourself this question: If there is a solution to back pain that doesn’t require surgery, is it worth exploring?

The Solution: NW Pain Relief Centers’ Laser and Decompression Program During the spinal decompression therapy a negative pressure is created within the inside of the disc called the nucleus pulposus. Because of that negative pressure disc material that has protruded, herniated or slipped discs can be pulled back within the normal confines of the disc and permit healing to occur. Laser and Decompression Therapy at NW Pain Relief Centers can help you get your life back and reduce your back pain.

Laser Treatment and Spinal Decompression Allow Neck and Back Pain to Heal... NATURALLY

BEFORE

AFTER

In the before picture you can see the herniated disc (black) protruding into the spinal column (white, center of MRI). After decompression treatment, the MRI shows the herniated disc is no longer bulging into the spinal cord.

In addition to spinal decompression technology, combining the use of cold laser therapy, produces even greater relief. Cold (class IV) laser does not cause tissue destruction, instead, it accelerates cellular repair. The power generator of cells is called mitochondria. Cold laser is absorbed by the mitochondria, much like a plant absorbs sunlight and converts it to energy for growth. Cold laser reduces pain and inflammation, and accelerates soft tissue repair. Our dedicated team of medical professionals will show you how our laser and decompression can help you with your back pain and sciatica. If you have back pain or neck pain and it has been caused in whole or in part by a degenerated or damaged disc you may find relief from the customized laser and decompression therapy at NW Pain Relief Centers. We have helped thousands of patients find relief from the following conditions: herniated discs, protruding or

bulging discs, spinal foraminal stenosis, sciatica or radiculopathy (pinched nerves).

Why NW Pain Relief Centers? NW Pain Relief Centers has uniquely qualified doctors with years of experience helping patients find lasting relief. Their experience with laser and decompression therapy has been invaluable to their patients. Hundreds of testimonials from current and previous patients validate the effectiveness of NW Pain Relief Centers’ programs. If you are suffering from neck or back pain you should call and schedule your complimentary consultation. When you combine knowledge and experience with advanced medical equipment you too can find relief. In addition to pain relief, rehabilitation and injury care we also provide wellness care and physical rehabilitation therapy to keep your body healthy.

Who is a Candidate for Laser Treatment and Spinal Decompression Therapy? Our spinal decompression and laser system uses FDA cleared technology. Research demonstrates its effectiveness in relieving the pain associated with this degeneration, herniated disc, facet syndrome and sciatica. Laser treatment and spinal decompression are great options because they don’t involve the risks of back surgery.

No Risk Consultation! Even with these exceptional treatments, if someone’s condition has progressed too far, conservative treatment may no longer be an option and we would not be able to accept them for care. Fortunately we are able to help most of the people who come to us suffering from chronic pain. To find out if you are a candidate for treatment we are offering a consultation and screening evaluation. There is no obligation. This will allow us to determine whether or not we can help you. We will give you a straight answer either way. The only thing you have to lose is your pain. Due to demand we are extending this offer to the first 25 callers only. Time slots fill quickly, so call today to reserve your consultation and screening evaluation. CALL TODAY.

What Our Patients are Saying: “During the 1 1/2 years of having constant daily lower back pain and spasms, I took anti-inflammatory and pain medication, but nothing helped lessen the pain. When an MRI showed that I had two degenerative discs, I went through a series of lumbar epidural injections without success. The only thing that made the pain and spasms go away was Spinal Decompression & Laser treatments.” — Lisa K.
