Clark named Sequim’s interim superintendent Administrator takes role in early July

BY CONOR DOWLEY Sequim Gazette

The Sequim School District has named their interim superintendent: Rob Clark.

After spending about 40 minutes in executive session on June 18 deliberating between two finalists — Clark and former Port Angeles Superinten-

dent Jane Pryne — the board reconvened into public session to announce their unanimous choice.

Board director Jim Stoffer made the motion to name Clark the interim superintendent — pending a successful background check and contract negotiation — effective July 1.

“This decision is made after in-

Caring

for

tensive discussions and review of the comments submitted by the public (at Monday’s interviews),” Stoffer said.

The motion carried CLARK unanimously, with each board member taking the opportunity to speak in support of the decision and of the process as a whole.

“We had two really good candidates, and it was a pleasure to interview them both,” board vice president Brandino Gibson said, speaking via conference call.

His words were echoed by board President Brian Kuh, who added that it was a “pleasantly difficult decision to make” between Clark and Pryne.

Directors Robin Henrikson and Heather Short both thanked the public for their comments and input,

with Short mentioning that community feedback helped her make up her mind.

Clark is expected to be in Sequim

by July 1 after finishing his responsibilities as superintendent of the Milton-Freewater School District in Oregon.

Fire District 3 seeks input on levy Renewal may go to ballot in November

BY MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Leaders with Clallam County Fire District 3 continue to weigh impacts to residents and the fire service as they consider asking voters to renew a 10-year Emergency Medical Services property tax levy this November.

With the current EMS levy rate bringing in about 25 percent (or about $2.26 million in 2018) of the district’s total budget, District 3 Fire Chief Ben Andrews said if it was voted down, “we couldn’t maintain current staff levels beyond 2022.”

Andrews told fire commissioners on June 18, “We’d be deficit spending in two years (after the current levy

expires in December 2020).”

Sequim-area voters approved a 10-year EMS levy in 2009 at $0.50-per-$1,000 of assessed valuation of a ANDREWS home. Collection began in 2011 and expires the end of 2020.

The district’s proposed ordinance would continue the tax and not to exceed the same rate through 2029.

Current valuation for the EMS levy is based on $0.45-per-$1,000 assessed valuation.

Emergency medical service calls make up about 87 percent of the district’s call load, Andrews said.

Concerning fireworks

City of Sequim’s fireworks ban continues while fire district leaders say countywide ban is not necessary. See story, A-13.

Last November, voters approved raising Clallam County Fire District 3’s levy lid lift from $1.26-per-$1,000 of assessed valuation to $1.50-per$1,000 of assessed value.

Andrews said then that the lift’s purpose was to maintain current staffing/service levels while avoiding deficit spending too.

“This really restores us back to operating normal,” Andrews said in previous interviews, regarding cutting

“It’s important to let the community know the changes are going to minimal, seamless.”

Verbatim: Tawni Borden Andrews ’88 Sequim grad talks transition from accountant to chef

BY MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Tawni (Borden) Andrews, 48, said she didn’t anticipate becoming a chef but after serving behind a desk for years she felt it was time to spice up her life.

Andrews moved to Sequim as a teenager with her family after her father Joe Borden retired from the US Army.

She went on to graduate from Sequim High School in 1988 and has lived in Aberdeen for the past 20 years. She has five children (three stepchildren), volunteers for a local search and rescue team, participates in art walks and is serving her second term as a city councilor for the City of Aberdeen. Andrews has served as president of the council for three years and now seeks to become mayor in the General Election this November.

For her career, Andrews said she “fell into accounting” but wasn’t passionate about it, so she began taking classes through South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia. After about a year, she began pursuing culinary arts.

Additionally, Borden said she was diagnosed as a Type2 diabetic a few years ago.

Thanks to lifestyle changes, including changing recipes to make them healthier, she

isn’t any longer.

Becoming a chef/cook was different from accounting, she said, but it felt right. In July, she begins working as a cook for the Washington State Patrol Academy in Shelton.

Earlier this month, she finished her Associate’s in Applied Science degree in Culinary Arts, and hopes to begin her Bachelor’s degree online this summer in Business Administration through Western Governors University. On June 15, she was honored to speak for the Class of 2019 as the class speaker.

Here’s her speech: “Graduates close your eyes and take a deep breath … and release. How long has it been since you have been able to do that? Just Breathe.

Today, we celebrate the end of one journey and the beginning of many more to come. For me, it’s receiving my Associates in Applied Science degree in Culinary Arts, and I’d like to share a little bit of my story as a returning student to college. After 25 years of working behind a desk as a bookkeeper I made the decision to leave that behind and embark on a new career. I remember a sign above my desk that read, ‘If your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough.’

I had a dream. It was big.

It scared me. I did it anyway.

I had a passion for cooking that I needed to follow.

I enjoy being able to put love visibly on a plate. As a wife and mother, I had been a home cook for years, but today, I stand before you as a professional chef with a degree that gives me possibilities that are global.

When I enrolled, I was scared I’d be the old woman on campus. I was worried about the money. How would I balance working full-time while going to school? I was worried that I had waited too long, that I should have gone to college sooner. But I’m glad I didn’t. I wasn’t ready before. I didn’t know what I wanted to do to give me that motivation to go for it. I started by taking my prerequisites online while working full-time. Then I had to make the jump to a full-time student and was pleased to find that I was welcomed on campus and there was a wide-range of students following their passion too.

I applied for scholarships, received two, took the jump.

And here I am!

In a restaurant you can create the ultimate experience for your guest through what you put on the plate in front of them — the plating, the colors, the smells and then the taste. It all creates that memory that your guests take with them after they leave. In retrospect, my experience at South Puget Sound was much the same.

Each ingredient plays an important role in a dish’s flavor profile, if you remove one, you change the entire dish. In the same way, adding different ingredients can transform your dish into something completely different. That’s how I feel about our campus and my experience as a student.

Without my instructors and fellow classmates my dish might have been completely different. Everyone at SPSCC added to my journey; added to my recipe. As you sit here today, think about the people that added to your recipe for success. And keep adding to your recipe! Try something new, you never know, that could be the key to make something bland SING! Be as adventurous with your decisions as I am with

my cooking. Reach out for those seemingly impossible goals that make your lives uniquely yours. Your journey isn’t the same as my journey, or her journey, or his journey — add those spices or that sweetness that’s yours.

One of the best things I heard when I started was, ‘A recipe is only a guide.’ I try to put my mark on every dish I make.

Sometimes, it works, sometimes it doesn’t – if it doesn’t just don’t make it like that again or throw out the recipe all together.

A new recipe. A new career.

A new path.

I have such a supportive family (with) my husband, kids, parents (and) friends all cheering me on constantly and always willing to be my guinea pigs. Your support

system adds to your recipe.

The support at home. The people on this stage. Everyone in the audience. Yourself.

Standing here today graduating with the Class of 2019, I’m proud of what we have achieved. We have created our recipe. Now go out there and share your signature dish with the world. Thank you.”

Healing continues for dogs from Agnew rescue

BY MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

Five weeks after being rescued from what pet advocates said were unhealthy and dangerous conditions at an Agnew home, most of the more than two-dozen Australian Shepherd-Border Collies are still adjusting to their new, cleaner surroundings.

In mid-May, after Clallam County animal control officer Tracy Kellas and staff initially rounded up eight dogs, volunteers with Welfare for Animals Guild (WAG) spent the next 10 days rounding up about two dozen more canines at the Agnew residence after its owner died.

The majority of the dogs had skin issues, fleas and broken teeth, WAG volunteers said. The dogs were not spayed/neutered, none were housebroken and most had serious trust, emotional and psychological issues, they said.

Though none were aggressive, WAG members said, the dogs struggled during the initial trapping and then reclusive in new surroundings.

After the dogs went to the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society for initial shots and evaluation, four of the least healthy canines went to Center Valley Animal Rescue in Quilcene while the remaining dogs have found temporary homes at the Humane Society and WAG. “We were already operating at pretty close to maximum capacity when this situation arose,” Mel Marshall, WAG Half Way Home Ranch Manager, said. “We had to scramble to shift dogs into foster homes and out to our prison program to accommodate these rescues.”

Luanne Hinkle, executive director at the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society, said eight of the dogs OPHS initially took in have been transferred to dog rescues in Washington state where they can get one-on-one care. The remaining 11, she said, are at the Humane Society’s facility just off Old Olympic Highway between Sequim and Port Angeles.

The dogs are at varying levels of comfortability with staff, she said.

“Two are really, really friendly, two are mildly friendly (while the) other ones are so fearful they don’t want anything to do with anyone,” Hinkel said.

“We are giving them a lot of TLC.” At the WAG Half-Way Home facility off McComb Road, about a dozen of the rescued dogs are “making huge progress towards trusting and responding to human kindness,” volunteers said early this week — including allowing harnesses and walks around the property.

WAG held special classes for volunteers to work with

the rescued dogs.

“It started with just sitting in a room and not looking at them or making any sudden movements, letting them come to you in order to establish trust,” Marshall said.

No timeline on adoptions Hinkle said none of the dogs brought to the Humane Society have been adopted and they probably won’t wind up with a family or individual unprepared for a dog with special needs.

“I believe the majority are not going to be your family dog, sleeping at your feet,” she

said. “These particular dogs, because of the way they have been treated, are so unsociable it’s difficult to tell (how they will react). It’s a very slow go. They’ve taken a lot of work. We kind of consider them special needs dogs.”

But, Hinkle noted, “they’re all healthy and they’re eating.”

At the WAG facility, organization president Barb Brabant said she is hopeful that soon the organization will be able to start evaluating potential homes.

“It’s so exciting to be met with wagging tails and smiles, but they’re not quite there yet, and we don’t want to

INDEPENDENCE DAY ★ EARLY AD ★ DEADLINE

release them until we’re sure they’re ready,” she said.

Facility needs Brabant said that because of the influx of rescue dogs, WAG volunteers have had to turn several people seeking to turn over dogs to the nonprofit.

“A lot of the dogs we receive need help either in training or socialization skills and they will stay with us as long as they need to,” Brabant said.

“It is important to WAG that our dogs heal both physically and emotionally before we start looking for their forever homes.”

Because of the Agenw rescue, WAG board members held a strategic planning session last week to seek potential improvements — including possible expansion, increased training, reaching out for more foster families, etc.

“The outpouring of volunteering and support has been phenomenal,” stated Brabant. “We just need to find a way for our infrastructure to catch up to demand of the dogs and families needing help.”

OPHS was at maximum capacity after the initial influx of the Agnew dogs, Hinkle said, but recent adoptions mean the facility has a bit more room to spare, as of last week.

The rescued dogs won’t be going anywhere for a while, Hinkle said.

“It’s a costly endeavor, but that’s what we do,” she said.

Vet donates services to rescued dogs Linda Allen and several members of her staff at Pacific Northwest Veterinary Hospital in Sequim donated their time to spay and neuter 10 of the Aussie-Border Collie WAG rescues from the May 19 rescue in Agnew.

“It is fortunate we were able to get them all done in one day; Dr. Allen and her staff were amazing,” WAG president Barb Brabant said.

Once the dogs were under anesthesia, Dr. Allen was able to evaluate each dog and help with their skin conditions, microchip, cut nails, as well as the surgery, Brabant said. One dog had an infection that if not contained would have probably resulted in death in less than a week, she said.

“We have an amazing community that is willing to do this for us,” Brabant said. “Since we are mostly a volunteer organization, we have to pay these expenses out of our budget. This was truly a generous gift of both time and money and shows the spirit of the community coming together.”

Charisse Deschenes, City of Sequim Assistant City Manager, and Allyson Brekke, City of Port Angeles Director of Community and Economic Development, joined with 30 other women from across the state to complete the inaugural year of the Northwest Women’s Leadership Academy (NWWLA) on June 7.

The Academy was conducted by the Washington City/County Management Association (WCMA) to promote more women into leadership roles in local government; just one out of five top executive roles in local government are held by women.

The academy took place over a 10-month period and included six full days of training with the following focus areas: leadership and ethics; governance structure (legislative bodies and appointed executives); communication strategies and nur-

“I am grateful to be a part of the first graduation class of the Northwest Women’s Leadership Academy and thankful to the leaders in local government who built this program,” Deschenes said.

“NWWLA brought together smart

and talented women from different regions of the state with diverse backgrounds. We developed a bond over local government content and acquired friendships through the process.”

“I am forever grateful to the City of Port Angeles and City Manager Nathan West for supporting me in my participation in the Northwest Women’s Leadership Academy,” Brekke said.

“It was an incredible experience to study alongside a cohort of professional women who are dedicating their careers to local government. I now have the opportunity to utilize the skills obtained from the Academy in my on-going work with the great community of Port Angeles.”

The Washington City/County Management Association is now in the selection process for the second Academy, set to begin in September.

“Workforce development is an important strategic goal at Olympic Medical Center (and) the Auxiliary scholarships help support that goal,” board president John Nutter added.

The OMC Auxiliary has awarded a total of $50,000 in scholarships since 2009.

Funds for equipment and scholarships are raised through the Auxiliary-run hospital gift shop, seasonal sales events and other fundraisers throughout the year.

COMMUNITY NEWS BRIEFS Fireworks ban reminder Officials with the City of Sequim remind residents and visitors that discharging fireworks is banned within the Sequim city limits.

The Sequim City Council voted to ban the discharge of fireworks based on an advisory vote of Sequim citizens in November 2016, where 65.6 percent of citizens voted in favor of the ban; the ban became effective in 2018.

Citizens are reminded that 9-1-1 is an emergency telephone line, and that a fireworks violation is typically not an emergency.

Clark, new superintendent, seeks to build relationships

ge

“Improving districtwide communication will be a key focus for Dr. Clark in the coming months, and he’s indicated his desire to reach out to all of our buildings and staff soon after coming onboard.”

BY CONOR DOWLEY Sequim Gazette

During his public interview with the Sequim School District on June 17, Dr. Rob Clark spoke directly about what he saw himself being able to do for the district, and noted he had done his research about what he would be walking into.

Selected the district’s new Interim Superintendent, Clark said he’s hoping to steer the district well into the next year.

The Gazette reached out to Clark to talk about his background and his goals for the district: “The two big things we need to get done early,” Clark said, “are to get ready for the (Educational Programs & Operations) levy coming up and make sure that passes.

“There’s also several personnel issues I’m aware of that need to be addressed soon,” he added.

Clark is expected to start fulltime on July 8 after tying up some loose ends at the Milton-Freewater (Oregon) School District, where he has served as superintendent since 2013.

He said he would be in Sequim for a few days before then on what he called a “time share” between the districts.

On a more general scale, Clark said he wants to spend some time building relationships with district staff and various community stake-

holders who are involved in the education process.

“Those relationships help us get things done,” Clark said, “and they bring a lot of people to the table productively when there’s something to accomplish.”

Clark also mentioned his intention to spend quite a bit of time in the schools. In recent Sequim School Board meeting public comment sessions, a number of district teachers noted that district leaders are rarely seen in the schools.

When asked of his motivation to join the Sequim School District

as an interim after six productive years as the superintendent MiltonFreewater School District, Clark’s answer was direct. “I’m very familiar with the region from my time as the Quilcene School District Superintendent (1995-97). My wife and I like the area a lot, and we have a condo in Port Ludlow because of it.”

He added, “Two of our three children also live in the greater Seattle area, so being closer to our family would be a huge benefit to us.

“But more than that,” Clark said, “I think I have the skills to really help this district. There’s things

that need doing that my history shows I can do, and I want to do that for this community.”

School board president Brian Kuh echoed that sentiment when asked about Clark’s hiring.

“Improving district-wide communication will be a key focus for Dr. Clark in the coming months,” Kuh said, “and he’s indicated his desire to reach out to all of our buildings and staff soon after coming onboard. He’ll also get to know the Sequim community with targeted outreach to local stakeholders, leaders, and organizations.”

Interim

From page A-1 District, just south of Walla Walla across the Washington-Oregon state line, since 2013.

He has also served as a superintendent in Washington state school districts, including the Quilcene School District,the Cascade School District in Leavenworth and the Rearden-Edwall and Washtucna school districts in Eastern Washington.

Pryne, who interviewed by Skype (she is vacationing in Sweden) served as superintendent in Port Angeles from 2009-2014. In Port Angeles she oversaw numerous administration changes, and elected to retire and serve as an educational consultant when her contract expired.

She also has served as a district superintendent in Arizona prior to her time in Port Angeles, and served as an Associate Clinical Professor for Northern Arizona Uni-

Kuh also mentioned Clark’s history with addressing and correcting diversity gaps in previous superintend positions, and spoke of that being an important component for bringing him on board given the district’s “strong partnership with the Jamestown Tribe and our vibrant minority communities.”

When asked if he was considering applying to be the permanent superintendent when that process begins later this year, Clark laughed.

“I’ll have to ask my wife,” he said.

“She’s been incredible following me all over the state for more than three decades. I’m going to have to get her permission for that one.”

said she would focus heavily on the district’s School Improvement Plans as a point of her initial involvement and direction over the summer, if selected as the district’s interim superintendent.

Clark said that if hired his early focus would include budgetary balancing and getting ready to pass a bond issue in the spring. He said Milton-Freewater hadn’t passed a school bond since 1982, but thanks to groundwork he had laid during an elementary school reorganization early in his tenure and a long series of public meetings, the community passed a bond to build a new school building with 81 percent yes votes.

The biggest difference between the two candidates, though, seemed to be in their interpretation of the role of an interim superintendent.

Clark indicated that he wanted to “hit the ground running” and start working on improving the district.

He told the board that it’s

vital for an interim to “get the lay of the land and identify the tasks that need to get done,” mentioning the bond issues in the district and “lingering personnel issues” in the district. He emphasized that he would be in each of the school buildings on a regular basis to work with administration and staff to understand what they need and help guide needed changes to improve the education experience for the students.

Pryne said that an interim had to “maintain the status quo” and that they were to “help navigate the transition phase to a permanent superintendent, not be an agent of change.” She also said that she would rather continue and complete work that’s already in progress at the district level rather than trying to make substantive changes.

Wolves named to All-Peninsula softball team

Mother-son duo to compete in international martial arts event

Sequim Gazette

The first time she saw it, Kathrin Sumpter recalls, was during a martial arts exhibition — likely a black belt karate showcase — about a dozen years ago.

“All of a sudden, she breaks out these sticks,” she says.

Something clicked for Sumpter, a Sequim resident and owner/instructor of Sequim Martial Arts and the newly-designated Cacoy Cañete Doce Pares-Sequim Club, where she teaches the Doce Pares, a Filipino martial art.

Now, the Doce Pares fourthdegree black belt and her son Sam Manders are in training to take part in the Cacoy Cañete Doce Pares World Invitational Tournament & Gathering in Cebu City, Philippines, in August.

“It’s exciting — it’s kind of like going to the motherland,” Sumpter says. “The best in the world will be there.”

Sumpter and Manders join a sixperson team representing the United States for a tournament, seminars and a training camp along with other events catering to stick fighters from all disciplines across the globe.

In preparation, the Sequim duo train with fellow team members and others at a facility in Portland, Ore. — the closest Sumpter says she can go to get this kind of training.

“I have to got to Portland to find people I can learn from; here I’m the only game in town,” she says.

Family inspiration Sumpter holds experience with Tae Kwon Do since the early 1990s and is now a 5th degree black belt in the discipline. An unexpected family connection broadened her repertoire, however.

Gail Sumpter, who was living in Los Angeles at the time, said she’d visit her sister-in-law Kathrin in Sequim.

“She said something about sticks.

(I said), ‘That’s what I do,” Gail Sumpter recalls.

Since 1996 Gail Sumpter had been well-versed in Eskrima, the national

sport and martial art of the Philippines that focuses primarily on stick fighting, knife fighting and hand-tohand combat but also covers grappling and other weapons.

Doce Pares, Spanish for 12 peers or 12 equals, is a form of Eskrima.

“When I moved up here I started teaching her; she got way into it,” Gail says.

“I just started doing it with no form; (Gail) really helped me get into it,” Kathrin says.

While martial arts like Tae Kwon Do tend to be more sport-oriented and good for fun and getting fit, Gail Sumpter says, Eskrima is more focused on combat and self defense.

A 3rd degree black belt in the discipline, she says she took to Eskrima in particular with her role as a reserve law enforcement deputy.

“It ties into wanting to defend yourself,” Gail Sumpter says. “It’s really versatile. You can use a stick, and open hand, a knife and a stick.

Cowan named MVP for all-star offense OLYMPIC PENINSULA NEWS GROUP The East team routed the West 37-6, but local prep football standouts on the West squad shined at the 25th annual Earl Barden All-Star Classic at Zaepfel Stadium on June 22.

One of four quarterbacks used by the West, Sequim quarterback Riley Cowan was named the West’s offensive MVP. The SHS graduated senior threw the only TD of the game for his team in the second quarter, a fouryarder to Tyler Nevin of Concrete.

Cowan, who helped lead Sequim to an Olym-

pic League 2A Division championship and was named the league MVP, had 35 yards rushing on five carries and was 4-for-8 passing for four yards.

It was Cowan’s final high school football game; he will be playing football for George Fox University in Newberg, Ore., this fall.

Also playing in the game were Logan Storm of Chimacum and Robert Comstock III of Quilcene.

Storm had two rushes for nine yards and two receptions for nine yards. Comstock, who has signed to play at the College of the Siskiyous in Weed, Calif., had a reception for nine yards.

Five Sequim players earned postseason kudos for their play, named to the 2019 All-Peninsula Softball MVP as selected by area coaches and the sports staff of the Peninsula Daily News.

Ea r ning spots on the team were freshman pitcher LeeAnn Raney, senior first RANEY baseman Latisha Robideau, senior second baseman Isabelle Dennis, freshman third baseman Christy Grubb and sophomore outfielder Jayla Julmist.

Raney, a second-team All-Olympic League selection as an outfielder, had a strong season on the mound as well. She won three district games on the mound, including a complete-game fourhitter against top-seeded Eatonville. Dennis was an All-Olympic League first team infielder while Grubb, Julmist and Robideau were selected allleague second-teamers.

All-Peninsula Softball honorable mentions also went to Sequim’s Lily Fili, Kiana Robideau and Bobbi Sparks.

Forks junior Rian Peters was named All-Peninsula MVP.

With some help from Gov. Jay Inslee’s office and other Olympic Discovery Trail friends, the Rails-toTrails Conservancy made a late-breaking decision to add the ODT to the Great American Rail-Trail (GART) — a multi-use stretching more than 3,700 miles from Washington, D.C., to Washington state.

“Inclusion of the Olympic Discovery Trail as the westernmost segment of the ‘coast-to-coast’ GART represents a huge recognition of the significance of the ODT and the vision for its completion,” Jeff Bohman, president of the Peninsula Trails Coalition board, said.

“It also will provide a significant boost to the work of the Peninsula Trails Coalition and all the ODT jurisdictional partners to complete the missing pieces in the full vision of a continuous trail from Port Townsend to La Push,” he added.

The Great American RailTrail has 1,900 existing trail miles — about 52 percent of the projected 3,700 mile-plus full length. The trail boasts more than 125 existing trails — and 90 gaps to fill — span-

ning the 12-state route.

The Olympic Discovery Trail is 130 miles long, using both road and multi-use paths across the North Olympic Peninsula. more than half of the ODT route is on non-motorized paths.

“The ODT is one of the Olympic Peninsula’s crown jewels, linking together many of our communities and attracting outdoor enthusiasts to visit,” Marsha Massey, Executive Director of the Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau, said. “We expect that attraction to grow, bringing more cyclists,

runners and walkers from further afield to experience the variety of trail offerings.

With the scale of this route, communities along the trail should see a bonus of economic opportunities and benefits.”

“It’s inspiring to witness and compete against such a high caliber of competitors. The thing I look forward to the most is the camaraderie and bonding with participants from all over the world. I’ve met some incredible people and I cherish these experiences. Spear-headed by our coach (Anthony Kleeman), we have a strong team … I’m excited for all of us to meet, share, and learn from the top grandmasters and world champions in the Filipino Arts.”

A relatively late addition to the team is Manders, 23, a 2014 Sequim High graduate about to complete a theology degree at Northwest University in Kirkland.

Manders got his start in

martial arts at age 7.

“I had to do something after school,” Manders remembers. “I decided to do what she was doing.”

Manders earned black belts in 2011 and 2012. When the chance came to join his mom on the trip to the Philippines, he jumped.

“I’m glad Sam is coming to the event,” Kathrin Sumpter says. And not just for a bit of tourist picture-taking: he joins other U.S. team members for a tournament that will last at least a couple of days of the team’s two-week trip.

Sumpter says says she’s been training since October and is the lone woman on the team.

Links standouts Joining co-MVPs Paul Jacobsen and Blake Wiker on the 2019 All-Peninsula Boys Golf Team are Sequim teammates Ben Sweet and Liam Payne, selected by area coaches and the sports staff of the Peninsula Daily News.

Sweet, a freshman, played his best golf of the season in the postseason for Sequim,

shooting a round of 80 at the Olympic League final and a 79 in the first round at the state 2A SWEET tourney. He tied for 21st at state and averaged 42.36 strokes per nine holes in league play. Payne, a senior, averaged 43.85 shots per nine holes, qualified for

state tournament and closed out his prep golf career with a 39 on the back nine at state.

Sequim coach Bill Shea took home the Coach of the Year honor, leading the Wolves to a 9-0 league mark to earn SHS’s fourth consecutive Olympic League title — and second consecutive second place finish at the state 2A tournament.

Bingham takes MVP Recently graduated Sequim High student Murray Bingham, fresh off a state championship in the 800-meter run at the state 2A track and field finals, was selected as the Peninsula Daily News’ All-Peninsula Boys Track and Field MVP. For Bingham, a key piece in the Wolves’ first track state

championship (and first boys team title in any sport), it was his second All-Peninsula MVP award of BINGHAM the season; he was also selected as the boys’ cross-country MVP in the fall.

He won 28 races during the season and broke the school mark in the 800 at districts

Olympic park plans more mountain goat roundups

BY JESSE MAJOR Olympic Peninsula News Group

Goats will fly again at Olympic National Park this summer as the National Park Service continues to transport mountain goats to their native habitat in the North Cascades.

Operations to move as many as possible of the estimated 700 mountain goats began last year. Using helicopters, tranquilizer darts, nets and refrigerated trucks, crews were able to remove 115 mountain goats from the park in September.

This summer, two operational periods will have visitor impacts throughout the park. They are July 8-19 and Aug. 19-30, said Penny Wagner, Olympic National Parks spokesperson.

Hurricane Hill Road, beyond the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center parking lot, will be closed to all access during the operational period, including the Hurricane Hill Trail, Little River Trail and Wolf Creek Trail.

The Klahhane Ridge area will be closed temporarily on July 8-9 for visitor and employee safety during capture operations, Wagner said.

Areas of the Seven Lakes Basin, High Divide, Heart Lake and Hoh lake to Cat Basin will be closed to overnight camping July 7-11.

During the August removal period, the Mount Ellinor trail system and Forest Road 2419 to Mount Ellinor near Hamma Hamma will be closed to the public.

The five-year relocation is a joint effort by the National Park Service,

Beck said she plans to be in the eatery daily and work in the front of house, and that she wants to learn as much as possible from Allen to keep recipes as close as possible to what the Drakes have done for 20 years.

Shifflett will continue running his Titan Builders busi-

ness he started in 2009 while running the business side of the restaurant, assisting with cooking when needed.

When the Drakes announced their plans to sell, the couple said they’ve met thousands of people and seen many families make the café part of their routine.

Shifflett and Beck and their 8-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son are two of the many people they’ve seen grow up there.

Beck said her family spent many Thanksgivings at the café, and it’s a tradition they hope to keep going.

“We can’t wait to do it,” she said.

Dianne said they continue

examine them before they are transported to the North Cascades.

Crews will not be able to capture all of the goats. Those that can’t be captured will be shot and killed.

The park plans to use volunteers to kill the goats that can’t be captured, though it hasn’t established a process for that yet.

During September’s efforts 115 mountain goats were removed from the park. Of those, 98 were transported to the North Cascades and six orphans were transferred to Northwest Trek Wildlife Park.

There were six adult deaths, including two goats that died during transport on the first day and three goats that were killed because they were “unfit for translocation.”

One adult male that had been monitored had reports of aggressive encounters with visitors.

State Fish and Wildlife released mountain goats at five sites in the Cascades with the help of tribal and university biologists, and of Hi-Line Aviation of Darrington.

Two of the release areas were near mountain peaks south of the town of Darrington, on the Darrington District of the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.

The others sites were located northwest of Kachess Lake (just south of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness) in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, Tower Peak in the Methow area of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, and the headwaters of the Cedar River Drainage, which is land owned by Seattle Public Utilities.

to appreciate the generous community for their support and patronage over the years including during a closure for repairs and recent health scares.

“We wouldn’t have been able to hang on without the support,” she said.

The Sunshine Café’s new owners are planning a special grand re-opening later this year, they said. For more information, call 360-683-4282.

The goats were introduced to the Olympic Peninsula as game animals in the 1920s before Olympic National Park existed. That population grew to about 1,000 animals, though it is estimated there are now about 600 goats in Olympic National Park.

Officials say the goats impact the fragile alpine and sub-alpine ecosystem and that they have become too comfortable around humans.

Some goats have become aggressive in their search for salts in human urine and sweat.

Bob Boardman, a Port Angeles man, was killed by a goat that gored him as he hiked Klahhane Ridge in October 2010.

The National Park Service has contracted with a private company, Leading Edge Aviation, which specializes in the capture of wild animals.

Capturing goats requires a helicopter crew that flies as close as possible to the goats, sometimes within 30 feet.

The gunner on the helicopter makes a decision to either shoot a tranquilizer dart or a net at the goat, a decision that is partly based on how steep the terrain is.

Then a crew member exits the helicopter and blindfolds the goat to reduce stress before putting it on a sling to be flown to a landing spot on Hurricane Ridge.

There, the goats are loaded into the back of a truck to be transported to processing, where veterinarians

Driving on sunshine It’s the season of long days, with increasing warmth, sunshine – and snowmelt in the Dungeness River.

The river rises to its peak in June in most years with normal snowpack, then gradually drops to its lowest flow in October before the rainy season starts and the next year’s snowpack savings account starts to grow again.

Water M atters In years like this one with beAnn Soule low normal snowpack, or when April and May are especially warm, the snowmelt peaks in May and disappears in August. After the snow is mostly melted the flow in the River relies on rain and “baseflow”: the groundwater bleeding into the river channel from the water table.

Coming from underground like a spring, baseflow is generally cool and provides good conditions for spawning salmon. The upside of the drizzly summer weather we’re having right now is this: every cool or wet day means the River’s lowest flow and warmest temperatures will be delayed a little longer.

Distributed energy Summer solstice is Dave’s and my wedding anniversary.

The day after is my birthday (and the day before is his, so we celebrate a lot).

Anyway, as I write this on the eve of departing for our celebratory adventure it’s also my birthday so I’m indulging in one of my favorite topics. Have I mentioned how much I love driving my electric car? Or that I especially love it when the car has been charged up by the sun?

These long days mean long hours of electricity pumping into our house from our 10-year-old solar panels on the roof. In the most radiation-intense middle of the day, our 14 panels don’t use up nearly all the energy generated unless we are running everything at once. The excess isn’t lost, however, but instead feeds into the PUD’s electricity grid and spins our meter backward.

PUD buys our excess power from us at the “wholesale” rate through a net metering agreement and we get a check from them once a year. It’s a good way to ensure our extra solar energy isn’t going to waste and nice to be contributing to the needs of our neighbors down the line.

That said, it’s more satisfying and economical to make good use of every electron our panels generate ourselves, such as for a big demand like charging a car battery. It makes a difference in our monthly PUD bill since whenever we charge the car after dark when the solar panels are asleep we’re using grid electricity at the retail rate.

When there’s daylight and I’m at home, I make sure my car is charging.

We’re very lucky to have the pleasure of driving on sunshine. We’re especially lucky because we’re very cheap: we didn’t sacrifice our savings account to buy our used solar panels because we had the one-time fortune of a small inheritance. We also didn’t spend much on our electric car, finding a 2014 model for less than $10,000 in 2017.

Our older EV’s battery is limited to about 80 miles, so about once every two weeks I must use our other car or risk not finding a charging station when and where I need one. It’s a lifestyle adjustment, though living on the edge has always had its appeal …

On the other hand, for a climate doomsayer like me, never having to pump gas is a big quality of life improvement. For a cheapskate like me, driving on free sunshine is a very sweet present, one that goes way past my birthday.

Geek moment There’s a lot of important hydrologic interaction between the water table and the Dungeness River in the low-flow season of August to October. Baseflow coming out from the streambed is making up the vast majority of the flow at this time.

A fully-recharged water table will ooze water into the river and its side channels and keep options open for migrating salmon looking for places to spawn. Indeed, the “hyporheic” zone (the wetted gravels in the streambed) is where the bugs that salmon eat live, and where salmon eggs develop.

The dry cobblestones you see in the river channel later in summer may or may not be wet a few inches below, depending on the water table. But the water table suffers from low snowpack as much as the river since 25 percent of

Better breathing for better health According to every story I have heard about it, the female practice of holding our stomachs in and breathing from our lungs dates back to the Victorian era, if not prior.

This is one more example of society making beauty trends more important than healthy habits.

There are other, modernday causes of poor breathing habits such as sitting in front of a TV or a computer screen for too many hours.

Most of us are guilty of shallow breathing or of breathing from our lungs, not our diaphragm. These bad habits are more harmful than most of us are aware of.

I myself was clueless until a friend, who is a retired nurse, educated me.

Aerobic exercises are an excellent way to help a person breathe more deeply.

However, not everyone has the stamina for aerobics, especially our more mature citizens.

The diaphragm is the body’s main breathing muscle, and it is one muscle we cannot live without. The correct term for deep breathing from the diaphragm and abdomen is diaphragmatic breathing — and, if you recall, it is easy to do.

In case you are not recalling, here is a brief reminder of how to do diaphragmatic breathing. Breathe in slowly through the nose from the diaphragm while allowing the abdomen to extend out.

Then slowly exhale while gently pulling the abdomen back in.

Some experts say to exhale through the mouth and others say to exhale through the nose. Personally, I prefer to

An article on the website for Michigan Medicine (University of Michigan) says the way we breathe affects our entire body.

The health benefits of Diaphragmatic Breathing are countless. Here is a short list of some basic benefits.

1.Deepbreathingstrengthens the diaphragm muscle and improves lung function 2. The more oxygen inhaled the more the body relaxes, reducing stress and anxiety 3. Deep breathing allows more oxygen to reach inflamed joints, reducing inflammation 4. Oxygen oxidizes fats and toxins creating carbon dioxide which is expelled when exhaling 5. Research shows that deep breathing can reduce pain levels 6. Diaphragmatic breathing can lower high blood pressure 7. More oxygen to the muscles means more energy 8. Deep breathing can improve heart function 9. Diaphragmatic breathing has proven to improve the quality of life in persons with cancer 10. More oxygen reach-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Consider the bias

Celebrating a century of voting rights in style, the Clallam County Democrats herald 100 years of women’s right to vote and ratification of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1919. Several members of the party will don 1920s suffragette attire at several parades this summer, including Fourth of July events in Forks and Port Angeles, Clallam Bay’s Sekiu Days (July 13), Quileute Days (July 20), Joyce Daze (Aug. 3) and Makah Days (Aug. 24). In 1919 — 41 years after its first introduction — the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate approved the 19th Amendment and by August of 1920, with the determined efforts of suffragettes, the required approval of 36 states was reached and the amendment ratified.

ing the brain has multiple benefits including improved concentration and elevated moods It is easier for me to make diaphragmatic breathing a part of my daily activities rather than trying to make a special time just for proper breathing. Examples are when I sit in front of the computer, stand in line, or wait for a traffic light to turn green.

Here are important considerations. If you develop a headache, become lightheaded, or begin to yawn compulsively while doing diaphragmatic breathing, please stop. All of these symptoms mean there is an imbalance in the oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange levels.

As always, talk with your primary care provider and do you own research. The library has how-to materials on correct breathing. Shipley Center and the YMCA may have non-stress aerobic exercises, or other exercises which can help a person to breathe deeper.

Democrat leaders responsible for border mess

Reasons to hate Democrats (Democrat politicians, not so much the people who are duped into believing the lies of the mainstream media): Our southern border is a disaster. Hundreds of thousands of foreigners are pouring over our borders illegally (www.theguardian. com/us-news/2019/mar/29/ us-mexico-border-immigration-chaos), the Democrats do nothing about it.

Agencies: Wait times cut with added physicians

BY JESSE MAJOR Olympic Peninsula News Group

Clallam County’s largest health care agencies have expanded their capacity over recent years, reducing wait times for new patients from months to weeks.

North Olympic Healthcare Network, the Jamestown Family Health Clinic and Olympic Medical Physicians all reported reduced

wait times for new patients, with wait times ranging from about two weeks to a month.

“That’s pretty significant,” said Clallam County Health Officer Dr. Allison Unthank, who practices medicine at Jamestown.

“That’s a reasonable wait time to get in as a new patient and is better than a lot of places in the state. We have near-complete primary-care

“These are people who are not transferring from other doctors,” Maxwell said.

“These are people who previously couldn’t get care.”

Olympic Medical Physicians Primary Care also has seen a significant decrease in wait times, said Dr. Josh Jones, Chief Physician Officer.

Jones said OMP has never had a wait list, but patients at times had to wait up to four to six months to see a doctor for an initial visit.

That’s now down to about a month, he said.

He said OMP has added more than 5,000 new primary care patients in the last year and a half, a number that doesn’t include pediatric care. He said the primary care and pediatric clinics have seen more than 22,000 different patients over the last two years.

“We’ve added staff … and made a lot of boring behindthe-scenes process improvements, including smarter scheduling and better work

flows to see more patients,” Jones said.

Jones described a “balancing act” between keeping wait times as short as possible without having too many providers.

“The ideal would be to have people get in right away whenever they want … but if we are in that situation that means we have more providers in the community than we need,” Jones said. “A month seems OK to me. I’d like it to be less than that, maybe a couple weeks.”

Wait times for new patients have also continued to decrease at the Jamestown Family Health Clinic, said Brent Simcosky. He said a major factor in their wait times dropping from several months to about a month was NOHN’s expansion.

“We were getting a lot of Port Angeles patients coming over here,” Simcosky said. “Because NOHN expanded to being a (Federally Qualified Health Center) and hiring new doctors,

(patients) are able to get in there. They helped out everyone.”

Providers at Jamestown Family Health Clinic see between 200 and 250 patients per day, including up to 10 new patients per day.

Simcosky said that while the clinic hasn’t seen the same growth as NOHN, it is seeing an estimated 15 percent more patients than it was a couple years ago.

He said there are currently 17,000 patients in Jamestown Family Health Clinic’s database and that the clinic had more than 55,000 patient visits last year.

Simcosky said it became difficult for people to find a doctor in Clallam County during the Medicaid expansion following the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. The Medicaid expansion led to a 56 percent reduction in the uninsured rate in Washington state between 2013 and 2017.

“The Medicaid expansion has been great for this county,” Simcosky said.

“There were a lot of underserved people that couldn’t get health care.”

He believes the reduction in wait times shows that providers have caught up to the demand that was created when thousands gained health insurance, but he is concerned about growing populations in the future.

“The demand in the future won’t be under-covered patients; it’ll be people moving into the area,” he said.

Gunvor M. McClinton

Reach

882178154

His family is saddened to report that RADM Robert Brock McClinton, Commanding Officer of USS TURNER JOY from May 1965 to October 1966, and former Bremerton Historic Ships Association board member, passed away on April 12th at his home in Sequim.

Bob graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in June 1947, and embarked on a 35-year career as a Surface Line officer. Prior to taking command of USS TURNER JOY, Bob served as a Division Officer on USS MISSISSIPPI (BB 41/EAG 128) and USS FRESNO (CL 121), as a Department Head on USS DYESS (DDR 880) and USS DOUGLAS H. FOX (DD 779), as Commanding Officer of USS CONFLICT (MSO 426), and as Executive Officer of USS NORFOLK (DL 1).

During his command tour on TURNER JOY, he led the ship through a combat deployment to Vietnam from July 1965 to January 1966. This included operations on Yankee Station in support of USS CORAL SEA (CVA 43), and USS TICONDEROGA (CVA 14), as well as naval gunfire support (NGFS) missions along the length of the South Vietnamese coast, from Chu Lai in the north, to the Mekong Delta in the south, to the Gulf of Thailand in the west.

During its operations on the gunline, TURNER JOY conducted 84 missions, expending over 2,000 rounds of ammunition. This included the first ever NGFS missions fired from the Gulf of Thailand against targets on the west coast of South Vietnam.

Following his tour on TURNER JOY, Bob commanded USS DETROIT (AOE 4), and was subsequently promoted to Rear Admiral. His flag officer assignments included tours as Commander, Navy Recruiting Command, Commander, Naval Surface Group, Western Pacific, and Commandant, Sixth Naval District headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina.

Bob retired from the Navy, in 1982, and settled with his wife, Gunvor, in Sequim.

Following his retirement, he was an active bicyclist, including rides from Canada to Mexico, and a ride in 1995 from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean at the age of 69. His driving force was “for the fun of it,” and raising money for the Fred Hutchinson Institute for Cancer Research.

He was also a certified flight instructor in single engine planes.

In his later years, he loved sailing and racing sailboats with his crew, even after two hip replacements and a knee replacement. He and his crew won the last race he sailed on Sequim Bay, just six days before he passed. Again, his driving force was being with friends and family, and raising funds for Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County. Over the years, he and his crew raised over $100,000 for Hospice, with the help of many generous donors.

Bob was a proud member and past commodore of the Sequim Bay Yacht Club, and a proud member of the Association of Naval Airmen (ANA).

Admiral McClinton was survived by his wife of 70 years, Gunvor Maria Elisabeth Nyzell McClinton.

She has since passed away, on June 8, 2019, just eight weeks after Bob, in Virginia.

Bob is survived by two daughters, Joyce E. (Eric) Leigh, of Eagle, Idaho, and Kim M. (John) Lyttle, of Berryville, Virginia; four grandchildren; many greatgrandchildren; and several cousins.

A memorial service was held on Sunday, June 23, 2019, at the Sequim Bay Yacht Club.

After the ceremony, Bob received full military honors. Following that, his ashes and those of his wife of 70 years, Gunvor, were put aboard his sailboat, the America. Anyone who wished to join in sailing or motoring out to the Strait of Juan de Fuca, to spread their ashes together, was welcome to join.

access out here, which is amazing for a county of our size.”

Dr. Michael Maxwell, CEO at NOHN, said that in 2016 the average wait time for new patients at the Federally Qualified Health Center were 270 days or more,” a period of about nine months.

By adding staff, that wait time has been reduced to 14 to 21 days, he said.

“In 2015, I remember very clearly that you just could not get a doctor and we were all very aware of this,” Maxwell said.

“We don’t have all the data yet to know how much need is out there, so I’m hesitant to say ‘mission accomplished’ but we’ve definitely made significant headway.”

In 2015, Family Medicine of Port Angeles transitioned into the nonprofit NOHN and has been expanding since. At the time the facility had six physicians and three advance practice clinicians.

That has been expanded to 12 physicians, eight advance practice clinicians and two residents. NOHN will have two more residents by the end of the month.

Maxwell said the lack of access to primary care providers in Clallam County was one of the top motivators for changing to a nonprofit.

NOHN now has 13,000 active patients. The clinic has taken in 5,500 new patients since the transition and continues to acquire about 120 patients per month.

He said the number of new patients signing up has remained fairly consistent.

Her family is sad to report the passing of Gunvor Maria Elisabeth Nyzell McClinton on June 8, 2019.

Gunvor was born and raised in Torshalla, Sweden, on January 9, 1925.

Gunvor owned a hair salon in her youth. On a trip with several friends to Tivoli Gardens, in Copenhagen, Denmark, she met a young naval officer, Ensign Robert (Bob) McClinton. After five days, the young officer wisely proposed, through an interpreter, and Gunvor accepted.

Returning home, she began learning English. She soon sailed to America, where she was met and stayed with Bob’s father and stepmother, until his tour of duty was over. They married on July 1, 1948 in Bronxville, New York. She became his greatest supporter and did double duty as a full time mother and a “Navy Wife.”

They were married for 70 years. Bob retired from the Navy as a Rear Admiral in 1982 and, in effect, she retired from the Navy at the same time. They moved first to Sun Valley, Idaho, and then to Sequim, in 1985.

Bob predeceased her on April 12, 2019, very suddenly, due to Congestive Heart Failure.

Gunvor is survived by two daughters, Joyce E. (Eric) Leigh, of Eagle, Idaho and Kim M. (John) Lyttle of Berryville, Virginia.

She also has four grandchildren; many greatgrandchildren; along with a niece and several other relatives in Sweden.

Through the years, she was a supportive wife, a loving mother, a doting grandmother and great-grandmother, and the ultimate hostess and gourmet cook. Both Bob and Gunvor had many, many friends in Sequim and around the world.

She will be sorely missed.

A memorial service was held Sunday, June 23, 2019, at the Sequim Bay Yacht Club. After the ceremony, Bob received full military honors. Following that, his ashes and those of his wife of 70 years, Gunvor, were put aboard his sailboat, the America.

Fireworks discharge ban continues in City of Sequim Unincorporated Clallam County allows fireworks June 28-July 5

BY MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

For the second consecutive year, the Fourth of July should be fairly quiet over Sequim skies.

This summer marks a continuation of the ban for residents to discharge fireworks in Sequim city limits following a November 2016 advisory vote. Residents voted 65.6 percent in favor of city councilors passing an ordinance to ban the discharge of fireworks, which councilors did soon thereafter.

Sequim joins the cities of Port Angeles and Port Townsend in continuing a ban on discharging fireworks.

However, Sequim allows as many as four fireworks booths to sell Washington state-approved fireworks in city limits from June 28-July 5.

Prior to a community vote, city councilors sought a ban on discharges fireworks but said they didn’t want to impact nonprofits who sell fireworks.

As of Monday, June 24, only one nonprofit has registered to sell fireworks in city limits: Sequim Vineyard, who will sell wares in Sequim Walmart parking lot.

The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, one of the Sequim area’s biggest fireworks sellers, stopped selling fireworks from its booth after the building was converted for construction needs for its new hotel/ resort project.

Residents in unincorporated Clallam County are allowed to use legal consumer fireworks noon-11 p.m. Friday, June 28, 9 a.m.-11 p.m.

June 29-July 3, 9 a.m.-midnight July 4 and 9 a.m.-11 p.m. July 5.

In 2018, Sequim Police Department received 18 fireworks-related calls July 4-5 in city limits. One resident who called in four times unknowingly reported the fireworks were in city limits but it was found to be in unincorporated Clallam County.

This year, only one fireworks booth so far is going up in the City of Sequim from June 28-July 5. City of Sequim fireworks’ ordinance allows up to four booths to sell fireworks despite the discharge of fireworks being banned. Sequim Gazette file photo by Matthew Nash

In the last five years, Fire District 3 (Sequim area) fire crews responded to 507 fire-related calls with only eight, or 1.6 percent, of those related to fireworks.

Staff Sgt. Sean Madison of the Sequim Police Department said everyone with whom officers interacted during last year’s Fourth of July fireworks-related activities complied.

Madison said those incidents centered mostly on “a lot of small stuff — kids with safe and sane fireworks.”

Assistant Chief Tony Hudson with Clallam County Fire District 3 reported that fire crews responded to one fireworks-related brush fire on July 4, but the small fire was quickly extinguished.

Sam Phillips, Clallam County Fire District 2 Fire Chief, said in five years they’ve responded to seven fireworks-related calls.

He recommended that a threshold for fireworks restriction should come when the Department of Natural Resources sets the fire danger level at “high.”

Fire Chief Ben Andrews reported to District 3 fire commissioners on June 18 that he didn’t take a position on the fire danger level standards

Sequim School Board directors agreed Monday night with community concerns about a liquor license application at the new Arco AM/PM in Carlsborg, given the station’s close proximity to Greywolf Elementary School.

In a special meeting on June 24, directors heard comments from several staff, education advocates and area residents about the license.

Ultimately the board decided that they would pass along the concerns with their own indication of non-support of the store’s liquor license.

Board president Brian Kuh and director Jim Stoffer both spoke at length, wanting to make sure access to the school is “appropriately blocked off and secured,” with Stoffer adding that he would like to add additional security camera coverage to Greywolf Elementary.

Susan Baritelle, Greywolf Parent-Teacher Association President, spoke of her concern over the potential for 24 hour liquor sales, particularly given the easy access people would have going straight from the AM/PM to the Greywolf playground.

She noted that even without liquor sales currently happening at the store, they’ve already had to clean litter and debris much more frequently in the one week the store has been open.

Two Greywolf teachers asked if a more protective barrier could be placed between the Arco station and Greywolf, hoping that

at least a chain link fence of some kind may be installed to deter people from crossing back onto school property.

As of early this week there are a handful of concrete blocks between the station and the school.

Teacher Gretta Rich said that given as her class faces the gas station, she would prefer something more “visually obstructing” like a brick wall or even a tall hedge.

Board Vice President Brandino Gibson noted that he had spoken directly to the manager of the AM/PM, and said that he had been told that the store has 36 external security cameras, and that the store wants to “be a good neighbor for the school district.”

That brought up the discussion of making sure the store’s cameras couldn’t see “anything they shouldn’t” on the school grounds, which would be of concern to staff and parents alike.

There would have to be discussions with Clallam County as well on how to proceed with fencing off ac-

cess between the store and the school, directors said.

Julie Schumaker, who along with her husband owns the Shell station across the street from the new Arco station, said she wanted to make sure that her family-run store didn’t get painted with the same brush as the new station. She said she “knows full well what happens at gas stations at night,” and that she and her staff have used their “comprehensive” security camera system to work with law enforcement to help curtail illegal activities on the property.

Board directors said they have until July 2 to respond to the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis board on the application, and that they could formally object to it if they so chose.

The three school board members present — directors Heather Short and Robin Henrikson were not in attendance Monday — were in agreement that there was more than enough to be concerned about to take action.

Manis mastodon remnants get new life 1977 Sequim discovery’s artifacts, research preserved for future research

BY MICHAEL DASHIELL

On the web

Sequim Gazette

More than four decades ago, a couple’s discovery on their Sequim property changed the way archaeologists viewed North American human history — and, along the way, put their small town in the international spotlight.

Nearly 14,000 years after its death and another 40 years since it discovery, the Manis mastodon is once again making headlines.

Clare Manis Hatler recently donated a collection of artifacts and decades of research related to remains of the mastodon to the Washington State Historical Society, the Tacoma-based organization announced last week.

Hatler, whose late husband Emanuel (“Manny”) Manis discovered mastodon tusks while digging a pond on their Sequim farm, said she’s pleased that the items — more than 50 cartons of bones, ivory, teeth, soil samples, stone tools, photographs, field notes and more — are now safe and available for scientific research.

“I’ve been meaning to do it for a while … and I’m not getting any younger,” Hatler said.

“It’s exciting — this is where Dr. Gustafson and Manny and I wanted it to belong to be — for everybody, of course — in a place where where it could be researched,” she said.

Hatler said the donation became official with a deed on March 26, though it had been a year-long process to make the donation official.

HALTER

Unique find Washington State University researcher Dr. Carl Gustafson started investigating the Happy Valley area find in August 1977 and spent 30 years researching the so-called Manis Mastodon. His claims that the mastodon — initially thought to be a mammoth — was struck by a spear was met with skepticism.

His assertion placed human civilization in North America nearly 14,000 years ago; previous research had established the Clovis people as the earliest established human culture on the continent.

It wasn’t until 2011 that Dr. Mike Waters confirmed Gustafson’s research — that the bones were 13,800 years old and that the spear had been crafted by human hands (it was made from another mastodon bone). The find demonstrated that humans were hunting in the Americas about 800 years earlier than was previously believed.

“I am thrilled to hear that the Manis mastodon collection is now permanently archived with the Washington State Historical Society where it will be preserved and available for study,” Waters said.

“This is an important collection that can be studied for many years to come and still has many stories to tell.”

Lynette Miller, Head of Collections for Washington State Historical Society, called the Manis mastodon collection one of the three most important archaeological finds in Washington State history — the others being the East Wenatchee Clovis site and the Ancient One (Kennewick man).

“It establishes the timeline of human habitation on this continent, and documents their interaction with large animals in the Northwest,” Miller said. “We are honored to have this collection entrusted to our care.”

Hatler said she had the cartons of materials in her possession — much of the initial archaeological find minus some tusks and bone that were donated to what’s now known as Sequim Museum & Arts — and that she dedicates this donation to her late husband, who died in 2000, and Gustafson, who died in 2016.

“I dedicate this gift to two great men,” Hatler said. “This gift would not have happened without Emanuel Manis, who made the effort to share the site with the public. He wanted everyone to participate in and learn about the wonderful discoveries made daily during the dig.

The photo caption reads: “Wait till the tooth fairy tries to slip one of these out from under the pillow. Wait till he [or she] tries to even lift it. Certainly should be worth more than a quarter. Anyhow, they were dug up in a peat bog by Manny Manis, owner of Sequim’s Bowling Lanes.

Manny was digging a stock pond at the time of the find and now his wife, Clare, wants him to find the rest of the parts. At the time of the picture they were attempting to get information about preserving the tusks in case they begin to deteriorate now that they’ve been uncovered. If anyone reading this knows about such a need they would be glad to hear from you.” Sequim Gazette/Jimmy Come Lately Gazette file photo

Fertilizers, by the numbers Every commercial fertilizer is labelled with three numbers that indicate the percentage of total fertilizer weight represented by the three primary nutrients. (See photo.) The percentage of nitrogen (N) by weight is always the first number, followed by phosphorus

phosphorus and 10 percent is potassium.

But what is the remaining 75 percent of the bag by weight?

It is “inert ingredients” which make the fertilizer easier to distribute. “Inert ingredients” vary by manufacturer, and are usually sand or other materials that have no nutritional value for plants.

(The K is for kalium, the Latin word for potassium.) The three numbers together are called the nitrogen-phosphoruspotassium (or N-P-K) ratio.

For example, if the numbers on a bag of fertilizer are 5-1010, then by weight, 5 percent is nitrogen, 10 percent is

What is the difference between “chemical” fertilizers (sometimes called “processed”) and “organic” fertilizers? Chemical fertilizers are manufactured or extracted from natural materials that often undergo extensive processing. The nitrogen in chemical fertilizers is derived from petroleum and natural gas. The phosphorus is derived from rock and undergoes treatment with sulfuric acid. Most potassium is mined from underground deposits of soluble minerals.

Mastodon From page B-1

“Secondly, to Dr. Carl E. Gustafson, a dedicated professional, investing over 30 years of his life into revealing the site’s mysteries, without expectation of accolades or financial gain.”

Unearthing history On a sweltering Monday in early August 1977, Emanuel Manis, who also owned Sequim Bowling Lanes at the time, dug into the earth with a backhoe on the marshy, lower pasture of what was then a 16-acre farm.

Manis began digging trench around what would be a stock pond when he literally unearthed two massive tusks. “(The first) looked like a big log lying across the bucket,” Hatler recalled, in a recording for Columbia Conversations, a podcast that highlights those working to preserve and share the history of Washington state and the Pacific Northwest.

Manis set the object aside, but not long after restarting his dig unearthed a second curved object.

“He assumed they were mammoth tusks,” Hatler said. “I took one look and came unglued and told him, ‘Don’t you dig another inch.

Get off the backhoe and get out of there.’ And I ran for the phone.”

Clare immediately began a chain of phone calls leading her to Dr. Richard Dougherty, who was working on the nearby Ozette Indian Village Archaeological Site.

Within 24 hours Dougherty was on site along with an archaeologist, a graduate student from Washington State University, a reporter from the local paper and, soon after Gustafson, a WSU professor with a crew and equipment.

Later, Daugherty told the Manis couple, “This is the most important archaeological discovery in the world today.”

The site also became a curiosity for locals. As the Jimmy Come Lately Gazette (a precursor to the Sequim Gazette) noted in Sept. 7, 1977, “There is a whole crew of experts who have not only been working for three weeks without taking a break but — and this is the neat part — who share this exciting experience with the visitors who are showing up in droves of about 80 a day … Just don’t step inside the fence and cave into the project! That’s all they ask. This isn’t just to keep the compulsive amateur archaeologist from getting a mud bath, but is to safeguard the beast.”

Interest grew substantially, state historians note, when Gustafson wiped the mud from a rib bone and exposed what appeared to be an embedded spear point. Then a sizeable, severely worn tooth came up. After initially believing it to be mammoth remains, the archaeology team recognized this belonged to an American mastodon — a far more significant find.

“It was not a mammoth

SEQUIM GAZETTE theory that “Clovis man” was a kind of cultural father to all ensuing generations of Native Americans. Waters’ Texas A&M team, in collaboration with professor Eske Willerslev’s team from the Centre for GeoGenetics at the University of Copenhagen, produced the study.

Waters said he was particularly interested in revisiting the Manis mastodon because “we had new technologies that weren’t available to Gus (Gustafson),” he said in a Dec. 21, 2011 Sequim Gazette article.

There are older human settlements in the Americas than the Manis site, Waters noted, but the Sequim dig “provides another solid archaeological site that dates older than Clovis, and we don’t have too many of those.”

Gustafson’s further finding — that the bone weapon was from another mastodon — was also confirmed through DNA testing.

The Manis mastodon find gets a special display at Sequim Museum & Arts. The display at West Cedar Street has been Gustafson conducted admoved to the new museum facility at 544 N. Sequim Ave. Submitted photo ditional research at the site, finding more bones and bone tools. In fact, he brought up evidence of continual human habitation of the area until 8,000 years ago.

tooth — it was a mastodon tooth,” Hatler recalled.

Ancestors Mastodon, the common name for any of the large, extinct elephant-like mammals characterized by long tusks, large legs and a flexible trunk. Unlike the grass-eating mammoth, whose teeth were closer to grazers like cows, mastodons ate brush and had tooth characteristics closer to humans.

Compared to mammoths, the mastodon had shorter legs, a longer body and was more heavily muscled — a build similar to that of the current Asian elephants, I.M. Lange notes in “Ice Age Mammals of North America: A Guide to the Big, the Hairy, and the Bizarre” (2002).

While rare, mammoth remains have been found in and around Sequim; most recently, local residents discovered a partial skull of what’s a Columbian mammoth emerging from a sandy wall while walking state Department of Natural Resources-owned tidelands east of Sequim in January 2016.

“The archaeologists, they don’t jump up and down

“Sequim’s very own mastodon attracts global attention” declares a Jimmy Come Lately Gazette headline on Sept. 7, 1977.

much but they were really excited,” Hatler recalled in her Columbia Conversations podcast.

“They said, ‘This (became) a very important archaeological site — probably the most important at that particular time in the world. What we have found here is the first direct evidence of man hunting mastodon on the North American continent.’”

Gustafson asserted that the way the bones were scattered and skull was rotated indicated further evidence of human interaction.

“It was worldwide news, in newspapers all over the world, at the time,” Hatler recalled.

Though Gustafson told newspapers at the time he expected to be there just a few days, he spent nine summers (1977-1985) at the site as director.

Justification, deferred The WSU professor’s conclusions weren’t readily accepted for years, in part based on a lack of proof that material embedded in the rib bone was created by humans (as he’d proposed), as some suggested it may have been the tip of an antler from another animal.

Additionally, Gustafson’s team dated the site based

the

on analysis of organic material instead of testing of the mastodon bones.

But 30 years later, Waters and his team at Texas A&M dispelled those skepticisms.

W hen Gust a fson researched the find in the late 1970s, “they didn’t have all the CT scans and the DNA,” Hatler said in 2011, so Gustafson had to rely on more primitive techniques.

Gustafson sent pieces of the skeleton to labs around the country for radiocarbon dating, which confirmed it was 13,800 years old. He

couldn’t similarly test the all-important projectile, however, as the more primitive methods of the time would have “destroyed” it, Hatler said.

ShesaidWatersapproached Gustafson in about 2008 and that Waters promised he would “take that rib bone and give it all the tests that modern man knows about.”

In that 2011 interview, Hatler noted, “The last three years it’s been tested by the top scientists. It’s way beyond what they had in the 1970s” “And they found out Gustafson was right.”

A new article released in October 2011 in the scientific journal “Science” detailed a study that overturned a

In 1978, the Manis Mastodon Site was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

For seven years, through until 1985, the Manises welcomed visitors to the archaeological site, offering informational presentations to visitors, as the WSU researchers worked on site.

“We had 50,000 people come through our front yard,” Hatler said.

In 2002, on the 25th anniversary of the discovery, Hatler donated the 2-acre Manis mastodon site — on the same property she and her husband Don Hatler live today — to The Archaeological Conservancy, a national nonprofit.

“It’s protected from being sold or anything else,” Hatler said.

In 2016, following Gustafson’s death, his remaining Manis mastodon site research went to Hatler, who kept the boxes of bones, stone tools, notes and more on her property until she could find a safe place to send it.

Hatler said last year she contacted U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer about making the significant Manis artifact donation to the state. That proved serendipitous, as Kilmer’s wife Jennifer is the Washington State Historical Society’s director.

Much of the collection Hatler donated wouldn’t catch the eye of non-scientists, she said, but the bit of bone and ample research and more could prove useful.

The society’s museum on Pacific Avenue in downtown Tacoma will eventually display some of the artifacts, but no dates have been chosen, spokeswoman Julianna Verboort told the Tacoma News Tribune.

“Some of the pieces are still with a scientist who is conducting research,” she said.

Growing From page B-1

Organic fertilizers are natural materials that undergo little to no processing. Organic sources of nitrogen include animal manures, blood meal, fish meal and alfalfa meal.

Phosphorus can be found in bone meal and rock phosphate while potassium can be found in greensand and kelp meal.

Organic producers may use a combination of these materials to give a balanced fertilizer product.

Chemical fertilizers are highly concentrated. When applied to plants, they give the plant a big shot of pure nutrient; they do not provide organic matter. Conversely, organic fertilizers break down slowly, giving plants a smaller dose of nutrients over a longer period of time. They also “feed” the soil because they contain a lot of organic matter which is broken down by beneficial soil organisms, increasing their number and diversity.

Smart use of fertilizers Time fertilizer use with your plant’s life cycle: when it needs particular nutrients. For instance, nitrogen supports leafy, vegetative growth, sometimes at the expense of fruit development. Apply higher amounts of nitrogen just prior to and during periods of rapid growth, when plants need it most. Avoid applying nitrogen during fruit development or late in the growing season when plants cannot use it efficiently and winter rains will just leach it from the soil.

Because chemical fertilizers do not contain organic matter, using chemical fertilizers as the only source of plant nutrients can be detrimental to the health of the soil and the beneficial organisms that live in the soil. When using chemical fertilizers, also apply compost to “feed” the soil organisms.

Do not use manure as the only source of nitrogen in a garden because manures are usually high in phosphorus relative to nitrogen. Application of sufficient manure to meet your garden’s nitrogen needs can result in excess phosphorus in the soil. Excess phosphorus can harm your plants and move into surface water, harming water quality and aquatic organisms.

Understanding fertilizers will help you use them wisely.

For more information on use of fertilizers, check out “A Home Gardener’s Guide to Soils and Fertilizers” (EM063E) available for free at cru.cahe. wsu.edu/ CEPublications/ EM063E/EM063E.pdf.

Washington state payroll hiring fluctuates slightly in May Washington state’s economy gained 9,600 jobs in May and the state’s seasonally adjusted monthly unemployment rate for May remained steady at 4.7 percent according to the Employment Security Department.

The revised estimated April 2019 unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.7 percent.

The number of jobs the state’s employers generated in May is not as significant as the two previous months,” Paul Turek, economist for the department, said.

“However, this month’s increase in employment is a good solid number and is greater than what occurred at this time last year,” he said.

The Employment Security Department released the preliminary job estimates

from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics as part of its Monthly Employment Report.

The department also announced that April’s previously reported unemployment rate of 4.7 percent was confirmed. April’s preliminary estimated gain of 13,500 jobs was revised slightly to a gain of 13,300 jobs.

The national unemployment rate was 3.6 percent in May 2019. In May 2018, the national unemployment rate was 3.8 percent.

From May 2018 through May 2019, eleven out of the thirteen major industries

churches,” Dana Easterling says.

With about 14 years in ministry, the Easterlings have had their hands in creating or expanding everything from men’s and women’s groups to leadership and prophecy groups and more, starting in South Carolina and most recently in Montana until about three years ago.

Feeling led spiritually to make a change in 2016, the Easterlings spent some time in Seattle. The couple seemed to take the Pacific Northwest, Dana says, so they decided to visit some Western Washington communities. From Bellingham to Blaine, Anacortes and Port Townsend, the couple made their way from town to town, spending up to two days in thoughtful prayer.

“We just knew Port Angeles was as far as we were going,” Easterling says. “Sequim felt really good.”

Following the move, Easterling says he and Cheryl attended Gardiner Community Church for several months.

BY MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

When co-pastor Dana Easterling started a new church with his wife Cheryl in Sequim about 18 months ago, they had to get a few things out of the way.

Namely, clothing racks.

The Easterlings started with a purposefully modestsized congregation (one) in an auspicious place (a consignment shop), but now The Gateway Church is making a move to give the Christian, non-denominational church some room to grow.

Sunday, Jan. 23, marked the first service for The Gateway Church at its new home at Holiday Inn Express & Suites, a year-and-a-half after it started in the Second Chance consignment shop on West Cedar Street.

If the origin story sounds like a bit of build-fromnothing, that’s true — but not wholly unexpected.

“God has used us for building ministries, even in other

Non-denominational Christian services When: 11 a.m. Sundays (preservice prayer 10:15-10:45 a.m.); Tuesdays, 5:30-7 p.m. (preservice prayer 4:45-5:15 p.m.)

Where: Holiday Inn Express & Suites-Sequim, 1441 E. Washington St. (new location) More info: www.gatewaychurchsequim. org

member offered the use of her consignment store.

After careful consideration, Easterling said, they made the move.

“We had so much vision,” he said. “To us, we knew we were supposed to do it.”

That meant putting the clothing racks in the corners and bringing in all the equipment for a service each Sunday, he said.

“Dana and Cheryl coming to town was a blessing,” said Glory Ingalls, owner of the Second Chance consignment shop that hosted the church.

She had been looking for a church with the kind of cha-

risma, spirituality and energy that the Easterlings brought for more than 20 years after moving from Southern California, and she said that she continues to be moved and uplifted by them.

The first service was in January of 2018.

The Gateway Church’s services are usually evenly split between live and video services for the message, Easterling said, though the music is very much live each week. That’s thanks to a group of talented musicians in the growing congregation, he said.

Easterling said The Gateway’s worship music runs

The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him. For he knows how weak we are; he remembers we are only dust.

– Psalm 103: 13-14

ranges from modern worship styles to more meditative music, followed by the message.

And it can get loud, he noted, so the church offers earplugs for those who want them.

“We made that plain: we’re here to worship the Lord,” Easterling said.

“You can feel his presence in our services.”

What resounds with people about the church, Easterling said, is the caring congregation.

“One of the things we hear the most is that it’s such a close, loving group,” he said.

The congregation, one that sees about 40 people each

Sunday, has doubled in the past three months and led to the move for more space, the pastor said.

Now centered at the Holiday Inn, The Gateway Church services on Sundays start at 11 a.m., though the church provides pre-service prayer — individual or group prayer — from 10:15-10:45 a.m. The church also offers a Tuesday service from 5:30-7 p.m. with pre-service prayer from 4:455:15 p.m.; worship is similar but the Tuesday message format is more like a Bible study, Easterling said.

If the group grows more they have room to expand at the hotel, he said, but if it grows to 75 or 80 he said leaders will likely begin looking for a more permanent space.

The Easterlings, who have been married for 34 years and have four children and four grandchildren, have listed three core values for The Gateway Church: “Love God Completely, Love People Genuinely, Love the World Consistently.”

Being real with people is key, Easterling said.

“We are trying to build a healthy, God-centered family in the midst of a broken world,” he said.

Birdhouse building sessions set at libraries SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF This activity’s for the birds. The North Olympic Library System offers Build a Birdhouse events at local libraries this summer.

Sessions take place at 2 p.m.

Friday, June 28, at the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St., and at 2 p.m. Tuesday, July 16, at the Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave. (In the case of inclement weather, the Sequim event will be held at Sequim Middle School, 301 W. Hendrickson Road.)

Library staff and volunteers lead this hands-on building workshop, and participants will walk away with a completed birdhouse. An adult must accompany children under the age of 8.

Participants are encouraged to

bring their own hammers (if they have them), but the library will have some hammers available for use.

Lumber for the program was provided by Angeles Millwork and Hartnagel Building Supply, and the Country Woodwright cut lumber to create more than 300 kits.

The event is part of the North Olympic Library System’s 2019 Summer Reading Program, “A Universe of Stories.” This summertime program encourages children to keep reading during the summer break from school, features a reading challenge with fabulous prizes, and several events for all ages. The program runs through Aug. 17.

We all enjoying planning things that we enjoy together. It makes the events more fun and we definitely get more out of them This is true for children too.

If your children are included in planning things, they are more likely to get involved as well as to cherish being included.

So how does this kind of planning work? It works different in every situation. If you are planning a summer trip but are not sure exactly where, talk with everyone who is going along.

Where would they like to go? At least what kind of a place would they like to visit?

You can tell them you are deciding between place one and place two and describe them both and ask which sounds most appealing. You should tell them up front that they do not get to decide because actually no one person gets to decide, but everyone can have a say in where they go or what they do.

Find out the kinds of places that sound good to them even if you do not go to their first choice this time. At least you are learning of their desires and what they hope for in the future.

Even plans for dinner can and should include them. Would your child prefer a hamburger or a turkey burger? It doesn’t hurt to ask. After you find out it may

influence what you buy and what you make in the future. Before you begin, ask what he would like to have on his salad or if he prefers mashed potatoes or French fries.

He can pick whatever you give him a chance to pick. It will even encourage him to eat it vigorously.

Before you go out to dinner and you are asking everyone where you should go, give her a chance to voice her opinion. It can be something new or something that she prefers that has already been suggested.

Even with clothes you can give him choices. After you put on his pants, ask which shirt he wants to wear. Or if you pick out a game or two for him to play, ask which one he likes best. When he has a friend over, make sure he gets to make the choice he wants of his friends.

With all of these choices tell him his opinion is important to you.

When you took her out to buy her dad his father’s day present or card, hopefully you gave her a

choice. She doesn’t’ necessarily get to choose from all the cards or presents available but you can select two and then let her pick.

She will fell that this is more of a gift from her than from you even if you buy it.

When you know that his choice doesn’t matter at all, then don’t ask him for it. You don’t want to have him feel you are ignoring him. After you give him a choice, he will want his choice to at least be considered.

Sometimes you won’t want his choice. Do not ask him if he wants to go to bed now or later. You already know the answer. Don’t ask him if he wants dessert. You know the answer. But make sure that some time when you ask for his choice that his choice is the one that is chosen.

Obviously the choices you give him or her are based on their ages.

As your child ages, you can give him or her greater latitude on choices … but begin early.

Include your child in your decisions. He will enjoy his new-found responsibility. You will enjoy his increased enthusiasm.

ARE THERE ALTERNATIVES TO DENTAL IMPLANTS? There are always alternatives in dentistry. The alternatives, however, depend upon how many natural teeth you have left.

IF YOU HAVE NO NATURAL TEETH, YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS: You could do without teeth and use your tongue and gums to eat and talk. This works for many people, but leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to appearances. Some foods still are not within the realm of people in this category.

The other option is to use dentures. There is a substantial difference in dentures that are available. Generally, if you have had difficulty with dentures in the past, your best chances are with a Prosthodontist. His understanding of the forces that affect a denture, as well as his advanced training, give you the best prospects. Many prosthodontists now make upper dentures with a metal palate in the denture. This provides substantial strength and much more room for the tongue. It is also a lot more comfortable. If you later decide to have implants placed, the metal support makes the denture significantly stronger and less likely to break.

IF YOU HAVE TEETH PRESENT, YOU ALSO MAY HAVE SEVERAL OPTIONS: If there are teeth on both sides of the missing teeth, and if they are strong enough, a fixed bridge can be designed that attaches to the teeth and is not removable. It requires the teeth on either side to be crowned and this requires cutting the enamel off of the teeth and then replacing it with porcelain and/or metal teeth. The cost is similar to implants.

If there are not enough remaining teeth to support a fixed bridge, a removable partial denture can be made to replace the missing teeth. There are a wide number of types of partial dentures. The price can range from $850-2,500 for a plastic partial. This is usually considered a temporary partial. A partial with a metal substructure, which is designed to gain support and stability from the teeth, will range will range between $3,000-4,000. The prices usually vary depending on the skill and training of the dentist.

IF YOU HAVE NOT YET LOST ALL OF YOUR TEETH, BUT MANY OF YOUR TEETH ARE BROKEN DOWN It is often possible to utilize the broken teeth as though they were dental implants. Dentures could then be made that fit over these teeth. These are called overdentures.

The advantage of saving these teeth is that they can help prevent the jaw bone from dissolving away, while providing a more solid foundation for the dentures. Small ball shaped attachments can be placed in these teeth and the denture can be snapped into place. This option is usually close to 1/2 the cost of dental implants. Fluoride must be used in the overdenture to keep the teeth from decaying. When considering your options, it is best to consult with a prosthodontist before making any decision.

Port Angeles Symphony announces new season of concerts

BY DIANE URBANI DE LA PAZ

will perform together in a celebration of the ballet company’s 50th anniversary. The March 21 program will bring together 40 local dancers, guest artists from Oregon Ballet Theatre, original choreography by Ballet Workshop director Kate Robbins and music by Tchaikovsky, Fauré, Bach and Debussy.

For Sequim Gazette

Homegrown performers who travel the world, music of Brahms and Tchaikovsky, soloists from Japan, Bulgaria and Spain: They’re coming during the Port Angeles Symphony’s 87th season.

New subscriptions are now available for the 2019-2020 series of 14 concerts in Sequim and Port Angeles, conductor-music director Jonathan Pasternack announced this week.

Levels vary, so patrons can choose from Pops & Picnic shows, full Symphony Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra concerts and the first-ever Ballet Gala.

“Subscriptions give our patrons a chance to save on tickets, choose their seats and look forward to a season of great music,” said Pasternack.

To receive a brochure listing the concerts, locations and guest artists, call 360-457-5579, email to PASymphony@olypen.com or write to: Port Angeles Symphony, P.O. Box 2148, Port Angeles, WA 98362.

As ever, the season starts with Pops & Picnic, but this year brings a change.

This show has as its guest vocalist Sgt. First Class Martha Krabill, originally from Port Townsend and now with the U.S. Army Band. A celebration of music from the classical world, Broadway and the movies, it has in past years happened on two consecutive evenings.

As an experiment, this year’s Pops & Picnic concerts will be at 7 p.m. Sept.

27 and at 1 p.m. Sept. 28, both at the Vern Burton Community Center, 308 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles.

“Martha is a multitalented and charismatic entertainer,” Pasternack said of Krabill, who has traveled to Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq with the Army band called Pershing’s Own. For the Pops & Picnic program, Krabill is preparing to sing one of her all-time favorites, Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” And beyond that, she said, Pasternack has chosen a piece that will challenge her.

“It is out of my regular comfort zone,

The Port Angeles Symphony’s new season will highlight guest artists Anna Petrova, a Bulgarian pianist. Submitted photo

and for that I am grateful,” Krabill said. She’s keeping the song’s title a surprise.

Another thing she looks forward to: sharing the stage with her musician parents. They are Port Angeles Symphony principal oboist Anne Krabill and bassoonist Dave Krabill.

When she was growing up, her folks were busy raising four children and running their business, so Martha rarely saw them play their instruments.

These days, “they have reignited their passion for music,” she said of her mom and dad.

“It mean so much to me that I have been invited to perform with them in their orchestra.”

Two weeks after Pops & Picnic comes a visit from harpist Elizabeth Huston, the daughter of musicians and teachers Phil and Deborah Morgan-Ellis of Port Angeles. She will join the Symphony’s Chamber Orchestra for concerts in Port Angeles on Oct. 11 and Sequim on Oct. 12.

For the first full Symphony Orchestra concert of the new year, Jesús Reina will travel here from Spain.

This guest soloist is “a phenomenal artist and player,” said Pasternack, and the Edward Elgar piece Reina will play Feb. 22 is “incredibly emotional and romantic. He’s been wanting to play this concerto. It’s very special to him.”

On the first day of spring 2020, the Ballet Workshop of Port Angeles and the Port Angeles Symphony Orchestra

Other highlights of the new season: • Guest soloist Monique Mead and Mendelssohn’s violin concerto with the Symphony Orchestra on Nov. 9; • The Port Angeles Symphony Chorus plus featured soloists James Garlick and Steve Schermer in the Holiday Concert on Dec. 14; • Cellist Michael Center, featured soloist with the Chamber Orchestra on Jan. 17 in Port Angeles and Jan. 18 in Sequim; • Seattle Symphony principal trombonist Ko-ichiro Yamamoto, a native of Japan, with the Symphony on March 28; • Bulgarian-born pianist Anna Petrova, soprano Kristin K. Vogel, baritone David Meyer, the Symphony Chorus and Fauré’s Requiem on May 2; • An evening of American music The Port Angeles Symphony’s new season will highlight guest with soprano Courtney Ruckman, artists including violinist Monique Mead (above), Martha Copland’s “Appalachian Spring” and Krabill (below), and Jesus Reina (bottom left). Submitted photos Barber’s Adagio for Strings on May 22 in Port Angeles and May 23 in Sequim.

At Symphony and Chamber Orchestra series concerts, youngsters age 16 and under are admitted free with a paying adult. Venues are the Port Angeles High School Performing Arts Center, Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Port Angeles and Trinity United Methodist Church in Sequim.

EASTER is a Pit bull mix about 7 years old. She is a happy and friendly girl that is good with kids, but would be happiest being the ONLY pet. Easter does well on walks, she’s attentive to her owner/handler, and she is used to living in an apt.

Easter would be delighted to find a family that OWNS their home so she wont have to worry about being uprooted due to landlord/management issues. She would do best with an owner that spends lots of time with her!

HENRY is an American Bulldog mix, about 3 years.

Henry is a handsome and sweet BIG boy that will need to be the sole pet in his new domain.... He would do best with an experienced owner that can physically handle him (he is quite large!), and offer him a stable routine. Henry has had a rough few months, it’d be great if he could catch a break and find a FOREVER home!

www.stinkydogubathe.com ZEUS is a big and goofy boy that is STILL very much a PUPPY!!! Zeus comes from working lines, but since he has a vestibular condition with nystagmus, he likely wont be able to do much “work” other than playing and having fun. Zeus will be an awesome dog for a GSD experienced owner. He will need LOTS of work, but he has the potential to be amazing! We are still learning about Zeus and finding out if he could be around other dogs/cats.....

FIGARO is a Terrier and Poodle mix. He is an adorable little guy with TONS of energy! He will need an active owner that can offer him lots of exercise and take him out for lots of fun adventures! Figaro probably shouldn’t live with small kids because he can be grumpy with his toys and food. But, a firm owner should be able to manage this behavior quite easily. He recently had an abscess on his face! It is healing.

In addition to offering high-quality food, we also carry a wide variety of pet supplies and accessories.
