City council picks salon owner for newest member Six-year city resident says affordable housing is priority

BY MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

For the second time this year, Sequim City Councilors appointed a new member.

William Armacost, 63, was selected at Monday’s City Council meeting from four candidates, including Ron Fairclough, Tom Ferrell and Richard Fleck, to fill the vacant city council position left by Pam Leonard-Ray. Leonard-Ray resigned in May to move to Carson City, Nev., to help her parents.

Armacost will serve Leonard-Ray’s term through Dec. 31, 2019.

OPA’s portables on schedule School District receives six of eight units to house students

BY ERIN HAWKINS Sequim Gazette

Olympic Peninsula Academy’s new home has landed.

Sequim School District received six portables it purchased from the Central Kitsap School District to be used by Olympic Peninsula Academy (OPA) students when the Sequim Community School is demolished between late August and September and the district’s new Central Kitchen is built.

Sequim Schools Superintendent Gary Neal said the portables arrived July 14 and 15, and should be ready by the time school starts in the fall.

There are five double-classroom portables that will be used for classroom space and one single-classroom portable that will be used as an office.

Following traffic delays, minor collisions, and an estimated 3,000 extra vehicles on US Highway 101, two friends put Sequim Lavender Weekend in perspective.

“It was worth it for the ice cream,” said Caroline Hamilton of Gig Harbor and Michelle Huffmaster of Tacoma.

The pair along with lavender firsttimer Kim Baltadonis of Tacoma visited Purple Haze Lavender Farm to take in its Purple Haze Daze festival and its relaxed atmosphere, they said.

“It feels like visiting someone’s house,” Huffmaster said.

Purple Haze was one of 19 farms participating in Sequim Lavender Weekend from July 20-22 with some farms hosting festivals of their own, such as Jardin du Soleil, Olympic Lavender Farm and Washington Lavender Farm, while others only opened for the weekend, like Blackberry Forest and Troll Haven.

The weekend continues to grow, even last minute, after 22 years of events including the Sequim Lavender Festival.

One farm, Purple Path Farm, opened just days before the weekend south of Purple Haze after 10 years of being farmed for Purple Haze products. Jake and Chelsea Reichner opted to open up their farm to the public for the first time

without much notice or affiliation and offer U-Pick lavender and U-Paint, where you could purchase a canvas and capture their fields in paint.

Other farms encourage people to come earlier, during, and/or whenever it fits their summer schedule inside or outside Loretta Spencer from Hoodsport chats of Lavender Weekend. with Juan Gonzalez of Meli’s Lavender

Sequim Lavender Festival kicked off at the opening ceremony at Carrie Blake Park on July 20, where Sequim City Clerk Karen Kuznek-Reese, left, Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce representatives Melanie and Kelsey Sands, Sequim Mayor Dennis Smith, Festival Executive Director Debbie Madden, City Councilor Brandon Janisse, County Commissioner Mark Ozias and other Festival ambassadors performed a ribbon cutting ceremony.

County commissioners seek compromise on proposed fireworks ban after hearing

BY JESSE MAJOR Olympic Peninsula News Group

Clallam County’s three count y commissioners said after a public hearing they want to strike a compromise on a proposed

fireworks ordinance.

Commissioners heard from 17 people during the public hearing on July 17, with opinions ranging from

Farm about lavender at the Sequim Lavender Festival Street Fair at Carrie Blake Park.

banning fireworks to doing nothing. Many who were opposed to an outright ban told commissioners they would prefer to limit the days people

can light off fireworks.

Commissioner Mark Ozias said the county has received about 200 comments on the issue and that letters both for and against a fireworks ban contain the similar language.

“One letter might be ‘don’t consider any sort of a ban on fireworks because if you do

you will be impinging upon my freedom and my liberties and my rights,’ ” Ozias said.

“Then we’ll read the next letter and it will say ‘dear commissioners, please ban fireworks across the county because every year I feel like my freedom, my liberty and

Hurricane Ridge Road under construction SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF Because of a major construction project, bicycle and pedestrian traffic will not be permitted on the first five miles of Hurricane Ridge Road from the intersection with Mount Angeles Road to the Heart O’ the Hills entrance station during weekday work hours.

Bicyclists and pedestrians who want to travel Hurricane Ridge Road are encouraged to drive to the Heart O’ the Hills campground picnic area to start their trip and avoid the work zone.

Heavy machinery with limited visibility, uneven and unpaved road surfaces, loose gravel, one-lane sections of road, pilot car zones and lack of guardrails all pose risks during the upcoming construction season.

Combined with the road’s typical mountain characteristics (steep grade, curves, and limited sight distance), these factors led to the park’s decision to restrict bicyclists from using the lower five-mile section of road during the construction project.

The scheduled five-month construction project will not likely affect the Ride the Hurricane cycling event set for Aug. 5, park officials said.

The road work includes utility work, pavement rehabilitation, culvert installation, guardrail installation, and paving. Drivers should expect delays of up to 20 minutes in both directions during weekday work hours.

Flaggers and pilot cars guide drivers through the active construction areas and temporary traffic signs and devices will be installed for weekend and evening travel as needed.

Sequim rower Beuke raising funds for Team USA’s trip to World Championships OLYMPIC PENINSULA NEWS GROUP Sequim’s Elise Beuke and her Women’s 8+ rowing team will represent Team USA at the the 2018 Under 23 World Championship in Poznan, Poland, July 25-29.

Beuke is a senior-to-be on the University of Washington rowing team’s Varsity 8+. She was a member of the Huskies’ NCAA Championship winning team in 2017 and the UW’s runner-up finisher at the 2018 NCAA Championship in late May.

While representing the U.S., Beuke won the silver in the U.S. Women’s eight at the 2017 World Rowing Under-23 BEUKE Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, and finished seventh in the double sculls at the 2015 Junior World Rowing Championships in Rio de Janiero.

As a self-funded boat, she and her teammates are raising funds to cover expenses for the Poland trip.

Despite uncertainty in school funding at federal and state levels, local education advocates are helping fill in the gaps to spur special school projects.

The Sequim Education Foundation’s latest round of teaching grants — totaling $31,575 to 14 educators across the Sequim School District — helps provide funding for science projects, supplies such as headphones and chairs, fields trips and more.

Since the grants started in the 2001-2002 school year, the foundation has awarded 159 grants worth $148,501.85 — a figure that does not include mini-grants and funds for individual schools.

This year’s grants also received a boost from Community Partners such as the HVK Foundation, King’s Way Foursquare Church, the Rawlins Foundation, Sequim Sunrise Rotary and Soroptimist Club of Sequim.

Those interested in be a Community Partner of Sequim Education Foundation’s teaching grants, contact Katie Gilles at 360-683-2668 or gilles@ olypen.com.

The Buccaneer, Peninsula College’s award-winning student newspaper, earned seven honors in the Pacific Northwest Association of Journalism Educators 2018 Contest, a fourstate competition for colleges across Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho.

Ryan Fournier was awarded first place in sports news reporting for localizing the national controversy surrounding pro and amateur athletes’ protests during the national anthem for “Athletes, Coaches, Department not Jumping into Controversy,” and third place in the comprehensive coverage category for a series of news articles about a student returning to school titled, “Sex-Offender Postings and Notifications Living Beyond the Label.”

“This is where the paper shines; it tackles hard subjects, subjects that a lot of papers shy from,” contest judges noted in their comments. “An interview with a Level 3 sex offender, a first person account of mental illness, seeing the many sides of the gun debate, rights for student journalists, homelessness.”

Brenna Sinding received a second place award in the news photography category for “Fist Rising in Fall,” about a protest against racist graffiti at Boston College. Sinding was also named a finalist in the 2017 Mark of Excellence SINDING Nationals in the breaking news photography category-small schools division, for the photo. National Mark of Excellence award judges can select one national winner and up to two national finalists (runners-up) in each category.

In the photo essay competition, Sinding won an honorable mention for “Fat Smitty’s Diner” that showcased the personality of a unique roadside diner in Discovery Bay. Maddie Hunt won two awards for her photography. Her cover photo titled “Zombie Hordes Hunt Humans” won second place, while “Throwdown in the PUB,” documenting an arm wrestling match, won third place in the feature photo category.

Fournier and Abigail Vidals won an honorable mention for their photo essay of an international student celebration titled, “PUB Global: A Festival for the Senses.”

One Pacific Northwest Association of Journalism Educators contest judge noted of The Buccaneer staff’s work: “With work on presentation, this paper would have it all … and really, presentation is the easiest part … the hardest part is the bravery to tackle hard subjects and the ability to write and report well … considering the size of the staff, this paper over-achieves.”

Sequim all-school reunion set for August Deadline for registration is July 31 SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF The 103rd Sequim All-Class Reunion — set for Aug. 10-12 — has a variety of activities for returning Wolves, from community gatherings and meals, a tour of the Old Dungeness Schoolhouse, high school and museum, a golf tourney and several class mini-reunions.

Registration is $25 per person and includes breakfast on Aug. 11, membership in the Sequim Alumni Association, mailings, printing and other expenditures.

From page A-1 “The biggest goal was trying to keep the group (OPA) together as much as possible,” Neal said.

“Now we just need to get everything up and running in September.”

The portables were placed near Fir Street across from Sequim High’s tennis courts and next to the high school’s choir and band room and on the corner of Alder Street across from the Sequim Community School.

Neal said the portables have been placed in the spots they most likely will remain.

The Sequim Community School’s rennovation is slated for late August or early September.

He also said there will be ADA-compliant ramps put in for each portable and permits from the City of Sequim are pending.

In June, Neal said it cost $800 total to buy eight portables with an estimated moving cost of $140,000.

The other two portables still need to be moved over from Central Kitsap to Helen Haller and Greywolf Elementary Schools, and Neal said because of the moving company’s schedules a date has not been set to move the two remaining portables yet.

The other two portables will be moved over as soon as possible, Neal said.

“It’s been a daily project,” he said.

“We’re not penciled in for a particular date but we’re penciled in.”

The Friday night gathering is at 7 p.m. at 7 Cedars Casino, 270756 Highway 101, in Blyn. A no-host gathering is slated on the west-side patio; all are welcome.

• Saturday, Aug. 11 The second day of the reunion begins with breakfast at the Sequim Prairie Grange, 290 Macleay Road. Check in between 7-11 a.m.

Reunion participants will receive an information packet with nametags and tickets for breakfast — all-youcan-eat pancakes, ham, egg and coffee or tea — that will be served during those hours.

There will be three playing cards for the Alumni Poker Game. Those who purchased a buffet dinner will receive those tickets in the packet.

are covered under the district’s capital project levy but the other two portables are not and the money to purchase and move those will come out of the district’s general fund.

“We had a contingency plan for OPA knowing they were going to be out of their building and that was part of the capital project levy,” Neal said.

“In our original planning, we had money set aside to accommodate OPA until they get something very permanent.”

Neal said the portables for OPA are meant to be temporary housing for the school program and the district will go back to the community in the future to see what it will or will not approve for permanent housing. A bond or a levy to permanently house OPA could be on the table on the future.

“To be on time and on budget is what we owe the community,” Neal said.

“We want to allow the community to be with the practice of having the community listening sessions.”

Sequim schools hire two administrators

BY ERIN HAWKINS Sequim Gazette

Sequim School District will see two new faces in its administration as of July 1.

The District’s board of directors approved hiring one principal at Helen Haller Elementary and another at Sequim High School at the July 16 board meeting.

The board approved Shelley Jefferson of Bellingham Public Schools as the new assistant principal at Helen Haller and Kristi Queen of Mukilteo Schools as the assistant principal at Sequim High School. Jefferson will fill the assistant principal position vacated by Allyson Cundiff and Queen will replace Tom Anderson and Mary Ann Unger who split the position as interim assistant principals.

Jefferson has one year of administrative experience and six years of teaching experience. Her compensation will range between $91,396 to $95,107, district officials said in an email. Queen has 11 years of administrative experience and five years of teaching and her pay will range from $101,567 to $105,691.

and goals of the district’s five year strategic plan from 2018-2023. These approvals cover phase I of the strategic plan and school officials are still working on establishing phase II, which covers the objectives and strategies of the plan and phase III, which outlines the implementation of the plan.

The district’s vision of the plan states, “our community inspires and prepares each student to thrive” and the mission says, “In connection with our community, the Sequim School District empowers staff to inspire hope and provide flexible, innovative learning opportunities in a safe and respectful environment, so each student thrives.”

The district is entering into the third phase of the plan’s timeline from the 2018-2019 school year through the 2022-2023 school year.

Other topics

The board also discussed at first reading a policy that establishes a minimum fund balance for the district each year. Board directors discussed the language of the policy and agreed to make Strategic Plan changes to the policy as some Board directors also ap- of the wording was confusing. proved the vision, mission Board directors discussed

where the range of the fund balance should fall, with the policy originally stating the fund balance should “target a goal of no less than five percent and no less than 10 percent or higher of the current year’s expenditures to address potential general fund needs and to continue to maintain an acceptable and adequate minimum fund balance for district operations.”

Director Robin Henrikson said “10 percent or higher” leaves room for interpretation and she suggested to have the wording provide a more definitive value.

The board agreed to amend the policy to make the wording and values more clear and it will go to a second reading at the next board meeting.

Acknowledgments The board gave Sequim School District approval to designate Clallam County as a “Coast Guard Community.”

The district also received an “outstanding” on its annual Washington State Patrol inspection of its school buses for the second year in a row. State Superintendent Chris Reykdal sent a letter of congratulations to Sequim Schools Superintendent Gary Neal.

Sequim Gazette

Cody and Jenny Houston are following their passions side by side … literally.

The married couple are expanding both of their fitness businesses Poser Yoga and 5th Element Brazilian JiuJitsu and Kickboxing Fitness from Port Angeles to 145 E. Washington St. in Sequim.

The Houstons provide a variety of yoga, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing fitness classes for both youths and adults.

While they share the same space for their classes in Port Angeles and now in Sequim, Jenny operates Poser Yoga separately from Cody, who operates 5th Element.

“He’s doing his thing and I’m doing mine,” Jenny said. “Both of us do what we do because of the people.”

The Houstons said they both have a large client base out of Sequim and saw the space previously used by Sequim Gym up for lease. They saw the opportunity as a chance to expand their businesses and serve their clients in Sequim.

Both Cody and Jenny say they are excited to meet new clients in Sequim and learn what community members are looking for.

The Houstons said they are sharing the same unit on East Washington Street until they decide to further expand. Owners said this is hopefully the first phase of expansion, and are hoping phases two and three will allow them to also move into the two other units adjoining their current space.

Lavender From page A-1

Owners of Washington Lavender Farm expanded their offerings to a 10-day festival.

“It was fantastic,” said Janet Abbott, co-owner of the farm and George Washington Inn. “We have a lot of people who want to beat the traffic and crowds. That first weekend (of our festival), we probably had two-thirds as many people as this weekend for Sequim Lavender Weekend.”

Their vendor total remained the same both weekends, she said, and some stayed all week long and want to return for next year’s likely 10day Washington Lavender Festival.

The prompt for expanding their festival followed traffic issues in 2017, including the closure of the McDonald Creek Bridge.

“We had people telling us it took five hours to get to us from the Hood Canal Bridge,” Abbott said.

“We have people who love our farm but couldn’t get here.”

So the Abbotts advertised heavily on social media and added several signs directing drivers in the area to their festival.

U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer plans to introduce a bill this month that would help expand broadband access to rural areas such as the West End of Clallam County, he said.

The legislation would provide a 75 percent tax credit for groups of qualifying individuals or businesses that form a limited broadband district and build a local network.

Kilmer, D-Gig Harbor, said the bipartisan bill would help address the “last mile” issue for off-the-grid or under-served areas that do not have access to broadband.

“You can envision if there’s a neighborhood full of people, or a business park that’s unserved, the capacity to kind of pool together and extend this and get some tax relief from the investment could really mean the difference between having access to internet or not having access to internet,” Kilmer said in an interview on July 6.

“And increasingly, your ability to learn is tied to this. Your ability to have a successful business is tied to this.”

Kilmer said he planned to introduce the bill with at least one Republican colleague later this month.

“These challenges aren’t unique to red districts or blue districts,” Kilmer said after a roundtable discussion with community leaders at the North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center. “They’re affecting everybody.”

Fireworks From page A-1

my rights has been infringed upon.’ ” The ordinance as drafted would ban consumer fireworks across the county.

It would allow for permits for private displays, but would require the display to be organized, planned and discharged by a state-licensed pyrotechnician.

Jan Butler, who said she helped campaign for the fireworks ban in Port Angeles, said she now lives outside town in the county and is positive people are using illegal fireworks.

She said fireworks “turn cities and counties into war zones,” and recommended the county look at using LED drones instead of fireworks.

“Using [fireworks] is not a constitutional right,” she said.

Kilmer is a Port Angeles native who represents the 6th Congressional District, which covers the Olympic and Kitsap peninsulas and most of Tacoma.

The roundtable included representatives of the Clallam County Economic Development Corp., Port of Port Angeles, Port Angeles School District and city of Port Angeles.

Kilmer said he learned from Makah tribal officials that students in Neah Bay were bused to another community to take a statemandated exam on the internet because they did not have broadband in their school.

The library at the Hoh Tribe is in a trailer that does not have internet, Kilmer said.

“That presents challenges in terms of access to information and access to educational opportunity, and access to economic

with him a petition he said was signed by 653 other people who agree that fireworks should not be banned.

He told commissioners that fireworks are among the reasons tourists visit Clallam County each Independence Day. “They go to stores, grocery stores,” he said. “They come and do this every year. They live in Seattle, Tacoma, Kent and they come here.”

He said it’s not fair to look at other forest fires, such as the destructive Eagle Creek fire last year, as a reason for banning fireworks in Clallam County.

The Eagle Creek fire, which was started Sept. 2 by a 15-yearold boy who was using fireworks during a burn ban, burned 50,000 acres over three months in the Columbia River Gorge.

In Oregon most fireworks are illegal, but that fire happened anyway, he said.

“You’re comparing a tinder box to a rain forest,” he said.

opportunity,” Kilmer said.

Kilmer met with the owner of a struggling Grays Harbor County business Thursday that was just outside of a broadband service area, he said.

“That presented a challenge in terms of their profitability and even safety concerns since their security systems were online,” Kilmer said. He added: “The notion here isn’t to solve all of the problems but to provide a tool that could contribute to solving that last mile problem.”

Port Angeles School District web design and technical support staffer Christian Snow said 30 percent to 40 percent of students in the district do not have reliable internet at home.

“A lot of our teachers are now starting to move to a flipped classroom, meaning that they’re doing lectures in the evening via video for the students, which means the students need to have the ability to get online,” Snow said. “We’re sending (Google Chromebook) devices home with students soon. That’s going to be a part of their life — digital connection and the internet — and reliable broadband is a major part of that.”

Clallam County Economic Development Corp. Interim Director Julie Knott said the North Olympic Peninsula needs broadband for collaboration.

“If we can’t talk to each other, we can’t collaborate and be better leaders,” Knott said.

“If we don’t have access, we can’t be a team.”

The three commissioners each said that they would like to find some sort of compromise.

Ozias asked staff to schedule a work session on the ordinance in late August or September so that commissioners can “amend the draft ordinance in a way that is reflective of the input we’ve received,” he said.

“He should be able to come up with a compromise that we can be supportive of.”

Ozias said there could be more public hearings once the ordinance is redrafted, giving people more opportunities to comment on the issue.

Commissioner Bill Peach suggested that the ordinance might apply differently to different areas of the county “I agree the West End, the rain forest, has a different set of dangers and hazards,” than in the Sequim area, he said. “I’m very interested in what’s appropriate in regard to the East End. Commissioner Randy John-

son echoed Peach’s thoughts on finding a way to draft an ordinance that is appropriate for the various parts of the county.

Johnson agreed with many who spoke at the hearing that the county should limit the number of days fireworks can be used.

When there is risk of extreme fire danger, officials could declare a prohibition against all fireworks.

Johnson said the ordinance should give the county fire marshal more power to ban fireworks when there is a high risk for fire.

“All you need is dry weather, wind and time, and lo and behold you have issues,” he said, adding the fire marshal should have more discretion.

“For me, that part of the ordinance needs to be looked at in more detail.”

Any ordinance passed by the Board of County Commissioners would not be effective until a year after enacted.

IMMEDIATE DENTURES OR SHOULD I WAIT? Dr. Brooksby, I am afraid that I am going to lose all of my teeth and my dentist says that I have to wait for three months before I get new teeth. Help!

Horrified Dear Horrified, The only reason I can see for this type of scenario is if you have told your dentist that you want to keep the cost as low as possible and you do not want to hassle with your teeth anymore. If this is not the case, you may want to consider a secound opinion.

Usually if the teeth need to be removed, we make new teeth that go in at the time the others are lost. This way you never go without teeth. The supporting gums shrink as the bone remodels and the teeth get looser. We refit them and tighten them up to make them more comfortable. After about six months we make new, better fitting teeth and substantially improve the smile.

The reason the dentist wanted you to go without teeth for three months is to avoid the cost of the first set of teeth and the refittings. The disadvantage of this approach is that you are left socially crippled for months and then you do not adapt as easily to the new teeth. The first set of dentures are training dentures. They can also be used later as spares in case something breaks and you need something to wear.

ALTERNATIVES TO DENTURES There are also times when some of the remaining teeth can be saved. Often there are a multitude of options that are never presented or explored. If you look at our website at drbrooksby.com, you can find more information on the other options that are available. These may include partial dentures, overdentures, bridges and dental implants.

There is a saying “penney wise and pound foolish.” For the slightly higher cost why not have something that will last a long time, require minimal upkeep and be easy to repair?

Dr. L. Scott Brooksby was selected as the Best Prosthodontist in Las Vegas for 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 by the United States Consumer Association and now he lives in Sequim.

If you would like to meet Dr. Brooksby or if you have any kind of dental concern and would like a fresh look at what choices are available to you, call and schedule a free consultation and let’s see what we can do to help you.

Dr. Brooksby does all adult dentistry, including checkups, cleanings, fillings, extractions, crowns, bridges, dentures and implants. Call now to meet us and get an exam!

Canoes welcomed at Hollywood Beach

By ROB OLLIKAINEN Olympic Peninsula News Group

Weary pullers were greeted with smiles and warm Lower Elwha Klallam hospitality Friday, July 20, as the Tribal Canoe Journey arrived in Port Angeles.

Twenty-two canoe teams landed on at Hollywood Beach for a two-day celebration of Native culture at the midway point in the 2018 Paddle to Puyallup.

As part of the landing protocol, a representative of each visiting tribe or Canadian First Nation asked a member of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe for permission to come ashore.

“Honored friends and relatives, we are glad you are here,” 11-year-old Malena Marquez said during one of the landings.

“Come ashore! Come ashore!”

More than half of the canoes that arrived were powered by pullers who had crossed the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Beecher Bay. “The conditions were great today,” said Thor Gauti of the T’Sou-Ke First Nation.

“Sometimes they can be really, really bad out there.

But the last few times we’ve crossed, it’s been really nice.”

“Come share supper with us at Elwha,” Harmony Awakawa said as another canoe family waited for permission to land.

“We’ll sing and dance. Come ashore!”

Two-dozen canoes arrived in Jamestown during the Power Paddle to Puyallup on Sunday, July 22 — one of several stops as tribes make their way to Puyallup.

A week-long celebration

A week-long protocol celebration for the 2018 Tribal Canoe Journey will be held in Puyallup beginning Saturday, July 28. More than 100 canoe teams from the Pacific Northwest and Canada were registered for the culminating event.

Norbert Sylvester of Cowichan crossed the Strait of Juan de Fuca on Friday with members of other first nations. He said there was a slight breeze on the Strait and manageable five-foot swells.

“It was pretty well smooth sailing,” said Sylvester, who spotted otters during the crossing. “Wish we had a wind sail, though.”

The Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe provided water and a first-aid tent for the exhausted pullers. Volunteers helped the teams lift the Native canoes stern-first above the high tide line.

The Elwha’s own canoe, Beautiful Sister, is named in memory of Vanna Francis, a tribal member who died in 2007 at age 17.

Keith Thorpe/Peninsula Daily News Harry Moon of Wakeman Sound, B.C., carried a pink flag from the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe to promote cancer awareness and support for cancer survivors.

Moon, whose Quinaultcarved canoe was the first to arrive at Hollywood Beach, has been encouraging cancer survivors and cancer supporters at each stop on the way to Puyallup.

“We sit down and share our story,” said Moon, who lost his father and grandfather to cancer.

“Since Nanaimo, we sat there every night talking to supporters, talking to cancer survivors. I’m a cancer survivor myself. That’s the reason I carry the flag.”

The Tribal Canoe Journey travels to a different host tribe each year. The inter-tribal event began in 1989 as the “Paddle to Seattle” to mark the state’s centennial.

Moon has participated in the canoe journey every year since 1992 and has attended celebrations at the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe every year

since 2001.

The Tribal Canoe Journey began as a way to promote drug- and alcohol-free lifestyles and expanded to a cultural celebration in 1999, Moon said.

The canoe journey has reconnected long-lost relatives and teaches valuable life lessons to youth, Moon said.

“It’s reconciliation,” Moon said. “It’s bringing back not just the family ties, but helping our children learn to respect each other as well as themselves.”

Northwest Maritime Center to receive totem pole from Jamestown S’Klallam

BY JEANNIE MCMACKEN Olympic Peninsula News Group

The Northwest Maritime Center will be gifted two pieces of Native American art by the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, designed and carved for the center by Sequim artist Dale Faulstich.

The pieces, a totem pole and a Nootka-style canoe, tell the Native story of the area’s waters and celebrate the people

who carved the canoes.

The Jamestown S’Klallam tribe is donating the 27-foottall totem and a scaled-down version of the canoe to be displayed at the center.

The totem will be placed in front of the Wooden Boat Chandlery on Water Street as a welcome to visitors.

The canoe will be mounted between two of the buildings along with an interpretive panel.

The work will be installed sometime in 2019.

“I’m pretty off the charts excited about this,” Jake Beattie, Northwest Maritime Center executive director, said.

“This area has such a rich Native history. It’s an honor to be asked to help steward and communicate that in such a significant way.

“For the Maritime Center, it’s the opportunity to start engaging people in the full maritime culture of our region.

“It has always been a maritime one, and for the thousands of years before the Europeans showed up, that

Townsend, the top figure on the totem is the Supernatural Carpenter.

“He was sent to Earth to implement the wishes of Senx (the sun), ruler of the Land Above,” he explained.

“Below the carpenter is the Spirit of the Cedar Tree.

Western red cedar was called the ‘Tree of Life.’ The working properties of the cedar make it a choice wood for boat building. The cedars provided for shelter, clothing, tools and transportation.”

The bottom figure represents T’Chit-a-ma-hum, or Chetzemoka, a high-ranking S’Klallam chief.

“He was known as a peacemaker and friend to the early settlers,” he said.

Faulstich’s design depicts Chetzemoka with his raised hands in a traditional gesture, a welcome to visitors in Port Townsend.

The small figure at the bottom of the pole represents Sentinel Rock, the place from where Chetzemoka signaled to the settlers that they were safe and would not be driven out of the area.

Faulstich said the Nootkastyle canoe, also known as the Chinook canoe, had wide use among the tribes of the Northwest Coast.

“These graceful vessels were vital to the lifeways of the region, as natural resource and food gathering were often only accessible by canoe,” he said.

“Eventually, the use of this style canoe spread over a large area, from the Columbia River all along the coast of Washington state and Vancouver Island, throughout the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Puget Sound and the Strait of Georgia.”

Faulstich will begin carving the pieces in September at the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Center campus in Blyn.

Faulstich said that the wood for the totem is from an old growth Western red cedar, about 900 years old, taken from the Olympic Peninsula.

“Port Townsend is well known for finely crafted wooden boats and for the artisans who build them,” Faulstich said.

“The totem pays homage to them both. The wooden boat building tradition began in this area long before white settlers arrived. The S’Klallam people carved canoes from cedar logs that well-served travelers, traders, fishermen, whalers and warriors.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Fireworks restrictions make sense

Presently Clallam County has no restrictions on the possession and use of fireworks.

The adoption of the draft ordinance would bring the county into compliance with state code generally, and promote safety and peace for residents specifically.

We reside just outside the Sequim city limits in an area that is mainly inhabited by the elderly. Each Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve, we are blasted with all manner of outrageously loud and annoying fireworks without regard to the hour, especially during the nighttime. Pets are terrified, residents are unable to sleep and we have to clean up the detritus from our streets and yards.

Fireworks that ”blow up or go up” are illegal in Washington state, except those that are purchased and used only on specified tribal reservations. Bottle rockets, mortar shells and similar fireworks are extremely dangerous and easily ignite dry brush and grass. This area has parcels that are undeveloped and overgrown and are susceptible to fire from flaming pyrotechnics.

The Clallam County Sheriff does not have sufficient manpower to regulate the unincorporated areas in the county to ensure compliance with state code.

Those that wish to celebrate the Fourth with fireworks can do so sanely at a permitted public display without annoying their neighbors. Adoption of the ordinance as drafted would subdue the illegal use of fireworks and promote safety and security for county residents.

Dungeness River Management Team celebrates three decades of collaboration

By BETTY OPPENHEIMER FOR THE SEQUIM GAZETTE Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the Dungeness River Management Team has been nationally-recognized for its work in cooperative resolution of watershed issues, and collaborating on projects to restore the watershed’s health.

The most remarkable thing about the Team has been the willingness of representatives with very different missions to stay focused on the common ground that brought them together - the health of the river. Tremendously innovative and productive over the past 30 years, this local watershed council has been the subject of several case studies highlighting the successful partnerships that have formed through its watershed planning efforts.

It is a local group that, from its inception, rose above individual demands in order to preserve the Dungeness River Watershed for the benefit of all.

A celebration of the 30th anniversary will be held on Thursday evening, Sept. 27 – the first day of the Dungeness River Festival.

Look for details in September.

A brief DRMT history

The Dungeness River Management Team (DRMT) was formed in May 1988 to improve communications regarding the long-term management of the river and its resources.

The team consisted of representatives from diverse groups interested in the river, including federal, state, county and tribal governments, irrigators, landowners, sports fishers, farmers and conservationists.

The DRMT was locally initiated, and did not originally result as a directive from any state-sponsored mandate.

“I think that is part of its strength,” Ann Seiter, chair of the DRMT in the late 1990s, said. “The DRMT has never had any formal jurisdiction or power— these come from the authorities of the individual member government entities and organizations.

Despite, or perhaps because of, this lack of formal jurisdiction over the River, the DRMT has managed to accomplish a great deal.”

Early team efforts helped the County produce some of the first management plans in the watershed, including the first flood plan in 1990 (updated in 2009), and the Dungeness Area Watershed Management Plan (1993), which highlighted actions to improve water quality.

In ensuing years, the team embraced an ecosystem approach to watershed management, recognizing that many of the watershed problems were linked.

Issues such as floodplain and riparian development, logging practices, water quality, water conservation, loss of agricultural lands, and related natural resource topics were all woven into the team’s regular meetings and planning sessions.

In 1994, the DRMT produced the DungenessQuilcene Water Resources Management Plan (the DQ Plan). A milestone of the DQ process was an agreement by the Dungeness River Agricultural Water Users Association (Water Users) that they would not take more than half the flow of the River during the irrigation season, despite adjudicated water rights from the state giving claim to more than 100 percent of the flow.

The agreement resulted from negotiations between the Water Users, Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe and the Washington Department of Ecology, thereby ensuring that both farms and fish would be considered in water management of the River.

In response to the latter recommendation, the DRMT was redefined in the 1995 to: exchange information on technical studies, issues, and projects occurring in the Dungeness Watershed; pursue implementation of specific Dungeness planning documents, such as the DQ Plan; coordinate the use of staff, funding and other resources among agencies and representatives; and promote public education on watershed processes and activities.

In the late 1990s, the DRMT established a technical subcommittee that has emphasized technical studies and made concerted efforts to plan for dike relocation, to protect lands and people and to enhance the fish population and other river functions. These studies were combined in 2004 as the Dungeness chapter of the regional Puget Sound Chinook Recovery Plan.

Another subcommittee, the Dungeness Clean Water Work Group has worked on cleaning the water that goes from the Dungeness River into the bay to protect shellfish beds.

Between 2000 and 2005, the planning unit participated in development of the Elwha-Dungeness Watershed Plan (WRIA 18 Plan) (2005), which includes strategies to address competing interests affecting water supplies, in-stream flows, water quality, stream habitat and salmon recovery. Recommendations from the WRIA 18 Plan formed the basis for what was included in the 2013 Dungeness In-Stream Flow and Water Management Rule, which was designed to protect existing water rights, manage new uses of water, protect fish resources, and protect stream flows in the Dungeness Watershed.

The team continues these efforts today and func-

Plus, Irvin said he and his wife return to California where they first met.

In Healdsburg, Irvin said he’ll work with city staff there on the city’s strategic plan and learn new offices such as Healdsburg’s Fire Department and Community Services/ Parks & Recreation.

In Sequim, Irvin oversaw the city’s Human Resources, Community Development, Economic Development, and Parks departments.

“When I look at the list of projects Joe has worked on, it’s a really impressive list,” said City Manager Charlie Bush in a press release.

“Joe has brought a positive energy to the organization. He has great people skills and knows how to engage people in a vision and lead them. He cares deeply about people and is a person of high integrity and Joe cares deeply about the profession of public service. I am excited for this new opportunity for Joe and his family and look forward to following his success in his new role.”

Sequim Gazette

A familiar face is once again leaving Sequim city hall.

Sequim Assistant City Manager Joe Irvin recently accepted the same position in Healdsburg, Calif. with his last day with Sequim on July 24.

This was his second stint with the city after first being hired in May 2005 as assistant city planner and eventually serving as Interim Planning Director for about seven months before moving to Florida so his wife could pursue a graduate degree.

Irvin was rehired in March 2014 and quickly became Assistant to the City Manager and promoted to Assistant City Manager in January 2017.

“I have loved my 10 years working for the City of Sequim,” Irvin said in a press release.

“I am thankful that I had the opportunity to return four years ago, and I appreciate the organizations support of my professional growth.

I am excited for this new opportunity, but I will miss working with my co-workers and the Sequim community.”

Irvin said in an interview that he was offered the new position Sequim retrospect on June 15 in Healdsburg and his Coming back to Sequim seems contract was finalized the week of “highly unlikely,” Irvin said.

Sequim Assistant City Manager Joe Irvin holds maps of different regions in the City of Sequim in 2017 prior to a Neighborhood Visioning Meeting. Irvin plans to leave the city to work in Healdsburg, Calif. Sequim Gazette photo by Matthew Nash Irvin said he’s proud of a lot of projects and relationships, particularly with the Sequim Picklers and the partnership with the group and the city to bring new courts to Carrie Blake Community Park to fruition.

He’s also proud of his time partnering with the Community Organic Gardens of Sequim and bringing the city into the partnership with the development of the June Robinson Memorial Park “Somehow I keep coming back to parks. It’s one of those community aspects that people really love and I love,” he said.

Council

Along with city accomplishments, he served as Market Manager for the Sequim Open Aire Market, now Sequim Farmers Market, president of the Sequim Noon Rotary, and was a board member of the Sequim Food Bank.

As for Sequim’s Assistant City Manager vacancy, Bush said via email city staff will be considering options with the vacancy over the next few weeks. Bush returns to Sequim at the end of the month after completing the Harvard Senior Executive program.

Irvin feels good about where

Sequim is going. “(It’s) doing a great job at becoming a leader in the region and it’ll continue efforts to build regional partners,” he said.

City staff will continue to foster neighborhood development and partnerships, he said, and give more attention to code enforcement.

City chip sealing set for this week

From page A-1 “Quite frankly, I feel like it’s a time in my life that I need to give back,” Armacost, owner of Changes Salon & Spa, said in an interview.

He’s lived in Sequim for 34 years, the past six in the City of Sequim.

“I’ve been blessed to raise my family here and I’ve had multiple businesses that have been successful (in my career),” he said.

Armacost is now the fourth current city councilor to start their service as appointees joining Mayor Dennis Smith (2012), Bob Lake (2016), and Jennifer States (2018).

States replaced John Miller in January, after Miller died in November 2017.

City Councilor Brandon Janisse nominated Armacost, who received four of five city councilors’ votes, with Ted Miller nominating and voting for Ferrell. Lake was excused from the meeting.

Both Fairclough and Fleck applied for John Miller’s position in January, too.

City councilors interviewed the candidates for about 30 minutes before going into

William Armacost, on left at table, interviews with fellow candidates Ron Fairclough, Tom Ferrell, and Richard Fleck on July 23 for the vacant Sequim City Council position.

City of Sequim staff report chip sealing projects began Tuesday, July 24, and tentatively finish Saturday, July 28. Sierra Santa Fe Corporation of Ridgefield will work in three areas: • Northeast Sequim between East Fir Street and East Washington Street, and North Brown Road and North Sunnyside Avenue.

• East Silberhorn Road near its intersection with Quiet Place eastward to South Seventh Avenue, and northward on South Seventh Avenue to McCurdy Road by US Highway 101.

• South River Road from US Highway 101 to Lorraine Drive.

Sequim City Engineer Matt Klontz said South Seventh Avenue’s portion has a Pavement Condition Index, a quality algorithm used by engineers for roads, of 26 out of 100, one of the lowest in the city.

Construction runs 7 a.m.-8 p.m. and drivers can expect temporary roadway closures, lane closures and pilot cars. The road will remain open to residents living adjacent to the project work zone.

City staff said chip Seal work consists of street cleaning, asphalt oil application, a thin layer of aggregate, rolling, more sweeping and a “fog seal” coat of asphalt oil which results in a refurbished street with an extended life of seven-10 years.

This roadwork is less expensive than full structural roadway rehabilitation, city staff said.

They advise that roads are typically drivable within 24 hours of being chip sealed but drivers should refrain from sudden starts or stops, or speeding, within the first two weeks to allow the chip seal to set properly.

The city’s Transportation Benefit District funded the projects with Sierra Santa Fe Corporation for $270,674 plus a 10 percent contingency to chip seal about 40,000 square yards of selected city streets.

For more information on the project, contact the City of Sequim Public Works Department at (360) 683-4908. our retired members of the community.”

The city has a housing study underway investigating housing options in Sequim.

Armacost said change is inevitable in Sequim because the city brings in people of all walks of life and from all over the country but there’s a “movement in to the city to embrace, good positive change.”

He told city councilors one of his best attributes is that he’s a great listener, thanks to his line of work.

In his pre-interview sheet, he said he’d like to nurture people being heard and helping them become engaged.

Among his other talking points, Armacost said he’d like to expand Sequim’s small-town feel while preserving its natural assets, help find a way to diminish

crime and vagrancy, and encourage business growth with higher paying jobs.

When asked, Armacost said he did not have any conflict of interests in serving on city council, and he can change his schedule when needed for special meetings and events if needed.

“The opportunity for being a team player is something I look forward to,” Armacost said.

OBITUARIES

FCCF, Lions boost foundation’s donations SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF

Dennis Carl Heier Dennis Carl Heier died at age 79 at his Sequim home on July 11, 2018.

Heier was born Nov. 27, 1938.

A private family service has been scheduled.

FAITH NEWS ‘Sea of Miracles’ comes to church “Sea of Miracles,” a vacation bible school for youths of ages 5-12, is set for 6-8:30 p.m. Monday, July 30, through Friday, Aug. 3 — with special graduation on Saturday, Aug. 4 — at Sequim Adventist Church, 30 Sanford Lane.

The sessions include free snacks, games, stories and songs. Explore the “Sea of Miracles” where organizers say youths will “get caught by Jesus’ love.”

Pre-registration is requested; call 360-683-7373.

The Olympic Medical Center Foundation presented $46,000 to Olympic Medical Center at its board of commissioner’s meeting on July 18, including gifts from the First Federal Community Foundation (FCCF) and the Port Angeles Lion’s Club.

The FCCF donation will go towards the expansion of the Sequim Cancer Center, while $21,000 of the OMC Foundation gift will be for the purchase of a new ultrasound unit for the new OMC Medical Office Building in Port Angeles.

OMC only has two units for three locations, so the donation enables the women’s health department to have an additional machine that will help

expand care, OMC officials said.

Through sales at Safeway for the foundation’s duck race, the Lions raised $6,016 toward the ultrasound purchase.

The OMC Foundation has given over $1.3 million to or on behalf of OMC in the last 20 months, including $802,000 towards the cancer center expansion.

“Counting pledges from donors, we have now raised over $1,000,000 towards the expansion,” OMC Foundation Executive Director Bruce Skinner said.

The foundation now plans to generate additional money for the purchase of equipment for the cancer center, Skinner said.

“It is imperative that we expand the

space to treat cancer,” he said.

“As we near the completion of our capital campaign, we are pleased that we have been able to take advantage of several generous gifts so that we will have the capabilities to treat this dreadful disease locally.”

Persons who are interested in more information or in making a donation can call the OMC Foundation office at 360-417-7144, or by emailing them at bruce@omhf.org.

“We hope that many local people will become a part of this fundraising effort,” said Skinner.

“It’s an opportunity for people to leave a lasting legacy, and 100 percent of the monies raised will go towards the project. There are also naming rights opportunities.”

OMC Auxiliary donates equipment to hospital SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF The OMC Auxiliary presented five Olympic Medical Center departments with medical equipment as part of its annual “Wish List” ceremony on June 20 at Olympic Memorial Hospital.

Presented to department directors by Auxiliary President Leif Olson, the donated items included a Draeger jaundice meter for the Olympic Medical Physicians Peninsula Children’s Clinic, a Welch Allyn vital signs monitor for Olympic Medical Cancer Center, an Olympus blanket warmer for the Diagnostic Imaging department, gliders for the obstetrics unit and Lifeline subscriptions for Olympic Medical Home Health.

Auxiliary members have raised and donated to the hospital more

than $600,000 worth of equipment since 1980.

The auxiliary also announced four $1,500 scholarships to medical students: • Emily Boyd and Claire Henninger, who plan to study kinesiology • Aliyah Johnston, who is pursuing pre-med • Michael Lee, who will graduate in 2020 with a doctorate degree in pharmacy.

All four students will attend Western Washington University.

“The scholarship process is very competitive and it was challenging to narrow down the selections,” scholarship committee chair Patty Glennon said.

The auxiliary has awarded a total of $40,000 in scholarships since 2009.

The OMC Auxiliary raises funds for equipment and scholarships through

Helpful facts: Social Security disability benefits

By KIRK LARSON Social Security Washington Public Affairs Specialist

When the unexpected happens and you can no longer work due to a serious medical condition, Social Security is there with a lifeline to help you and your family.

Most American workers contribute to Social Security through federal payroll taxes and benefit through monthly retirement payments later in life. For others whose working years are cut short by severe and last-

ing illness or injury, Social Security provides financial assistance to help them through the critical times.

Here are six facts you should know about Social Security’s disability program: Social Security disability insurance is coverage that workers earn. The program provides a safety net to disabled workers who’ve paid enough Social Security taxes on their earnings. Social Security disability benefits replace some of their income if their medical condition leaves them unable to work.

The Socia l Secur it y Act defines disability very strictly. A person is considered disabled under the Social Security Act if they can’t work due to a serious medical condition that has lasted, or is expected to last, at least one year or result in death.

Social Security does not offer temporary or partial disability benefits.

Disability can happen to anyone at any age. Serious medical conditions, such as cancer and mental illness, affect the young and elderly alike. One in four 20-yearolds will become disabled before retirement age and may need Social Security disability benefits’ critical support.

Social Security disability payments help disabled workers to meet their basic needs. The average monthly Social Security disability benefit is $1,197, as of January 2018.

This amount helps disabled workers to meet their basic needs when they need that help the most.

Social Security works aggressively to prevent, detect and help prosecute fraud.

Social Security is committed to protecting your investment. Along with the Office of Inspector General, Social Security takes a zero tolerance approach to fraud.

The result is a fraud incidence rate of a fraction of one percent.

Social Security helps people retur n to work without losing benefits.

Often, people would like to re-enter the workforce, but worry they’ll lose disability benefits.

We connect them to free employment support services and help them maintain benefits such as health care. Learn about our Ticket to Work program at choosework.ssa.gov.

We’re with you through life’s journey, offering disability benefits to 10 million people.

Winson Jones, a prominent Northwest real estate investment broker, died July 9, 2018, due to cancer. Winson was born November 5, 1925 at Chalmers, Indiana. In 1943 he enlisted in the United States Army Air Force and served as a top-turret gunner on a B-24 Liberator Bomber during World War II. Following training, mostly at the age of 18, he flew 35 missions over Europe with the 451st Bomb Group (15th Air Force) operating from a base in Southern Italy. On his very first mission his Bomb Group encountered heavy opposition from German fighter planes, resulting in the loss of 9 of the 27 bombers participating. His Bomb Group received the Presidential Unit Citation for this mission. During his war service, his Bomb Crew survived a forced landing off Yugoslavia and hundreds of flak holes in its plane. While there were two casualties, all crew members survived. Winson always considered this experience to be the most difficult challenge of his lifetime, coupled with the feeling that he subsequently was more or less living on borrowed time. He served as Manager for four National Reunions of the 451st Bomb Group.

Following World War II, Winson attended Indiana University where he was a member of the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity and played on the Ernie Pyle American Legion Post basketball team. He graduated with high distinction in the upper one percent of his class in 1949 and commenced his business career as a Certified Public Accountant in Chicago. He became a General Partner with Alexander Grant & Company and served as a consultant for several years during the Eisenhower Administration in Washington, D. C. His assignments included coordinating the development and installation of an electronic data payment system for processing the Post Office Department’s payroll of 500,000 employees. During this period, he attended functions in the White House and met three U.S. presidents and their wives.

In 1961, Winson was transferred to Seattle as managing partner of his firm’s Northwest office.

Sequim Wheelers hit the trail Nonprofit up and running with wheelchair bike service

By ERIN HAWKINS Sequim Gazette

The Sequim Wheelers are getting its wheels rolling.

The nonprofit organization started giving free wheelchair bike rides to Sequim community members along Olympic Discovery Trail at the beginning of the month and board president and founder Nicole Lepping said volunteers are providing about 15 rides each week.

“Everyone is enjoying it: the (clients) and the pilots,” Lepping said. “Besides providing a free wheelchair bike ride, we’re building an inclusive community where cycling is for all.”

The Wheelers purchased its first wheelchair bike in April along with insurance

and have trained volunteers over the last several months.

The nonprofit is working regularly with several facilities in town, such as Dungeness Courte Memory Care, Sequim Health & Rehabilitation Center and Fifth Avenue Senior Living. It also has provided rides for individuals and other interested groups, such as Clallam Mosaic.

As part of its annual field trip to Railroad Bridge Park and the Dungeness River Audubon Center, five participants from Clallam Mosaic received rides from Sequim Wheelers’ volunteers on July 13. The wheelchair bike is stored at the Dungeness River Audubon Center where clients meet the Wheelers and free rides start.

Left: Piloted by Sequim Wheelers volunteer Elaine Cates, center, Courtney Brown, foreground, enjoyed a ride on a duet wheelchair bicycle during a Clallam Mosaic sponsored field trip to Railroad Bridge Park on July 13. Riding as a safety was Sequim Wheelers volunteer Michele Fraker.

Catherine McKinney, Clallam Mosaic program coordinator, said the five members who received rides from Wheelers’ volunteers enjoyed the opportunity.

“It was incredible,” McKinney said. “Three volunteers showed up in two-days notice for our participants.”

McKinney said a few of the participants were nervous about trying out the adaptive bike but by the end of the ride McKinney said she witnessed a lot of enthusiasm among riders.

One of the participants was McKinney’s sister, Beth Walker, who is not able to ride a bicycle alone.

“She has an uneven gait and uses a small leg brace so she wouldn’t be able to balance on a bicycle,” McKinney said. “She would never be able to ride by herself.”

McKinney said its been

decades since her sister has been on a bike and has tried three-wheeler bikes before which also were difficult for her to use. McKinney and her family are avid cyclists, she said, and it was a fun opportunity to see her sister also share this experience. She said her sister really enjoyed the bike ride and wants to do it again.

“Within the community of Clallam Mosaic, most of our participants have not had the experience of cycling, nor even the opportunity to try modified, adaptive bicycles,” McKinney said.

“The Sequim Wheelers have created a broader life experience, an inclusive outdoor experience, which is a very visible activity in this area. And they do so without charging a fee.”

She said she hopes to incorporate the Wheelers’ rides

as a part of Clallam Mosaic’s annual field trip every year, if not sooner.

How the rides work McKinney said there were three Wheelers’ volunteers who participated in each ride: one person that was the pilot pedaling the wheelchair bike and two safety persons riding in the front and the back of the bike. Lepping said each ride will consist of at least one pilot and one safety riding ahead to scout out any difficult terrain.

It was an easy transition for Clallam Mosaic participants to get in and out of the bike, McKinney said, as the wheelchair part of the bike is able to be removed off the bicycle and put back on. McKinney said the volunteers were well trained in helping clients get onto and off the bike.

Famed storyteller given national award Elaine Grinnell’s talent for sharing the stories of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe has not gone unnoticed.

She was one of four people across the nation to earn the First Peoples Fund’s Community Spirit Award for 2018, because of her dedication to passing down the tribe’s traditions through storytelling, drum making, basketry and cooking.

“Elaine is one of those unique personalities who is highly regarded not just in our community, but throughout Indian Country and — frankly — internationally,” said Ron Allen, chairman of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Council. “She was given an award that really recognizes her unique stature and standing in Indian Country.”

She was honored in Blyn on June 30, where more than 100 friends and family from tribes across North America attended to celebrate Grinnell. She received several gifts, including a blanket honoring her achievements.

Just west of Port Angeles, the Salt Creek Recreation Area is a fine place to spend a summer’s day. Check out the tidepools or play on a number of sports fields (softball, volleyball, basketball, horseshoe), go for a hike around World War II-era Camp Hayden, or spend a night. Camping fees are $22 for county residents, $25 for non-residents. (www.clallam.net/Parks/SaltCreek. html, 360-928-3441)

The First Peoples Fund recognized Elaine Grinnell, a prominent Jamestown S’Klallam storyteller, basketmaker and drum maker, for its 2018 Community Spirit Award.

Jesse Major/Peninsula Daily News

The stories she tells have been passed down through generations and not only share the tribe’s history and values, but also bring smiles to people’s faces.

Grinnell, who is also Lummi, tells stories weekly at NatureBridge at Lake Crescent, where she sees young people from across the country and sometimes from around the world.

She said she loves to see the smiles on kids faces when she tells stories, one of the top reasons she has told stories at NatureBridge for nearly three decades.

“I retired three times from storytelling and then decided I couldn’t live without it,” Grinnell said.

“I just keep jumping back in every year. I just love the smiles on those faces, that brightness, the expectations and the fear when I tell stories.”

Grinnell, 81, said she can’t make art like she used to. Sewing has become difficult and, because of her eyesight, she relies on others to drive her to where she can tell stories.

She said she won’t give up storytelling.

“It’s so important to me culturally that I’d hate

to give it up because there isn’t anyone right now who is interested enough and in a place in their lives where they can go freely in the evening and tell these stories,” she said.

Nomination Grinnell was nominated by her granddaughter, Khia Grinnell. She has shared stories with her for her whole life. Elaine Grinnell said her granddaughter first started telling stories when she was 6 and recalled when they went to their first festival together.

Khia Grinnell volunteered to tell the first story.

When she started speaking, Elaine Grinnell realized her granddaughter was telling her favorite story.

“It took all the wind out of my sails and I just loved it,” Elaine Grinnell said.

Khia Grinnell, now 32, said she first heard of the award when representatives of the First Peoples Fund told about the Community Spirit Award at a meeting she attended.

Record rainfall may be your cup of tea. Check out the Hoh Rainforest, about a two-hour drive from Port Angeles. Throughout the winter season, rain falls frequently in the Hoh Rain Forest, contributing to the yearly total of 140 to 170 inches (or 12 to 14 feet) of precipitation each year. The result? A lush, green canopy of both coniferous and deciduous species, mosses and ferns that blanket the surfaces and a perfect spot of a day hike — rain or no.

Gardening for the birds What could be more delightful than sitting in your garden and enjoying the hard-earned fruits of your gardening labor? Perhaps sharing your garden with the local wildlife, especially birds.

Birds work in tandem with predatory insects such as parasitic wasps, native bees, predaGet It tory flies, and spi- Growing ders to keep the voby Sara racious insect herFaranelli bivores that damage your plants in check. Many beneficial insects offer the bonus of cross pollinating your vegetables, fruit trees and shrubs.

Birds do not discriminate and will eat both herbivorous and predatory insects, keeping populations at manageable levels.

In fact, Northwest songbirds such as bluebirds, chickadees, grosbeaks, sparrows, swallows, nuthatches, woodpeckers and hummingbirds, to name a few, depend on insects for the protein boost they and their chicks need during breeding season.

Consequently, the birds’ demanding appetites help remove woodborers, grasshoppers, grubs, aphids and whiteflies among other pests from your garden during the peak growing season.

There are three basic components necessary to make a garden attractive to feathered gardening companions (and their predatory insect

partners): food, water and shelter.

For food, planting nutrient-rich native plants is a sure way to attract insects and birds. Once established, native plants are hardy, easy to care for, and offer a varied food source.

Mix them with those lovely ornamentals that are bred largely for their good looks not necessarily their nectar, seeds or fruit. The showy ornamentals may attract insects and birds, but it’s the nutritious native plants that will keep them coming back for more.

A palette of flowering herbaceous perennials, evergreen and deciduous shrubs and trees that will bloom from spring to early summer might include such hardy natives as bigleaf lupine, camas, checkermallow, Oregon grape, vine maple, mock orange,

and red flowering currant. Goldenrod, aster, evergreen huckleberry, Nootka rose, Pacific ninebark, and Douglas spirea will bloom and fruit from mid-summer through fall.

This list of plants is just a sampling of the possibilities.

Check the Xerces Society website at or the Washington Native Plant Society at for suggestions on more native plants that will grow well in your home garden.

A bird bath is a suitable water source for both insects and birds.

Toss in a few rocks for the insects and hummingbirds to keep them above water. A bird bath can be as simple as a shallow saucer placed on the ground or atop an overturned pot. Change the water once or twice a week to keep it clean of bird drop-

Finally, plant trees and shrubs that will provide year-round shelter from the sun, wind, and predators.

If you have a dead tree in your yard, consider keeping it. As needed, have an arborist trim it of potentially hazardous falling branches and reduce it to a height that will keep it from toppling over and causing damage.

The woodpeckers will love you for it. The holes they drill in pursuit of woodboring beetles may serve as nesting cavities for them and other

In the event of inclement weather, this event will take place in the Sequim Middle School Gym, 301 W. Hendrickson Road. The event runs in conjunction with the Summer Reading Program.

More than 20 children ages 8-15 with Olympic Theatre Arts’ children’s troupe prepare for its fourth summer production and second season opener for OTA later this summer.

With scripts in hand for the table read, organizers say actors eagerly consumed “The Phantom Tollbooth” by Susan Nanus, based on a book by Norton Juster.

“I had to slow them down. They were stuffing themselves with the elegant language and conundrums,” said director Bonne Smith.

“The excitement was palpable, voices soared as they tried on the sentences which gave way to laughter, surprise and them getting the inside out jokes.”

“The Phantom Tollbooth” runs Aug. 31-Sept. 9, with showings at 7 p.m. Fridays/Saturdays, and 2 p.m. Sundays.

Tickets are $12 for the public, $10 for OTA Members, and available online at OlympicTheatreArts.org or during the weekdays from 1-5 p.m. at 360-683-7326.

Organizers say “The Phantom Tollbooth” is a fun, hysterical look at how we use words and how they’ve changed.

For this show, the troupe brings experienced child actors to the stage for the season opener along with some first time stage acting explorers.

Grayce Houle, who attended the OTA Summer weeklong Theater Skills class, embraced her character, the Horrible Dynne, with engaging sound effects. Sweet Rhyme, played by Emily Loucks, was swinging Rhyme’s lines into a rap.

“Our youngest participant, Sage Moody, who also attended the OTA Summer class, signed up for ‘Phantom Tollbooth’ as a demon bringing his brother Leif, who wants to help backstage,” Smith said.

Kenzi Camp, a troupe veteran, loves her character Humbug’s lines, especially saying words like “Balderdash,” “Bosh,” and “Pure Bosh!”

Kenzi found Humbug’s personality interesting and she said it will push her to make choices in how to act Humbug’s story.

Amelie Mantchev, another OTA Children’s Theatre veteran, plays Tock the dog, and is also the costume designer.

Amelie’s mash-up vision - a Futuristic Victorian view endows the Land of Wisdom with a Sci-Fi fantasy twist.

OTA’s Children’s’ Theatre program is committed to introducing community youth to the magic of live theater, helping foster self-esteem, self-confidence and teamwork.

At home on horseback Amelia Hermann a state rodeo champ at 14

By MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

Few things in life seem to distract Amelia Hermann from her passion of riding horses — not after-school activities, not schoolwork, not sleep, not even some broken bones.

“She’s up at 6:30 every morning, goes to school, comes home, she’s on a horse,” mom Rashell Hermann says, as her daughter works on her roping skills at the family farm on Blue Mountain Road.

The work and dedication seems to be paying off for the Sequim teen: Earlier this year, the then eighth-grader at Sequim Middle School was Washington Junior High School Rodeo Association’s all-around state champion, breakaway state champion, reserve ribbon roping, reserve team roping and reserve goat tying in 2018.

She earned a spot on the Washington state National Junior High rodeo team and, consequently, chance to compete with her teammates at the 14th-annual National Junior High Finals Rodeo in Huron, South Dakota, in late June.

Competing against youths from across the nation and Canada, Mexico and Australia, Amelia competed in ribbon roping and team roping (with Nathan Clawson), goat-tying and what

she considers her best event, breakaway. Hermann and Clawson took 18th in ribbon roping.

Not bad for someone who hasn’t yet had a high school class.

The byproduct of a (young) life of horse riding, Amelia was on horseback by the age of 2, Rashell says, but had broken her clavicle and arm by age 4.

“I thought I was going to ruin her,” Rashell says. “(But) she always liked to ride.”

Rather than be put off by the injuries, Amelia flourished. She began competing by age 6 in events like cal stake, dummy roping and goat-tying.

Now she’s putting in the hours in the arena in competitions — “Goldendale, Omak, all over,” Amelia says — and on the road, taking lessons with Brett Hale at Stick Horse Ranch in Tenino a couple of days per week.

“That’s the only thing about living on the peninsula,” Rashell says.

Still, Amelia hasn’t missed a day of school and earned just short of a perfect grade-point-average (3.83) in her most recent semester at SMS. The work ethic, Rashell, is what sets Amelia apart, with plenty of chasing calves and roping and keeping horses in shape — “which a lot of young people don’t do,” Rashell notes.

The teenager even helps out with

local high school equestrians, youths several years her senior.

“I think all the high school girls respect her pretty well,” Rashell said.

“We’ve been doing this so long, our horsemanship skills are pretty decent.”

Rashell and Mike, Amelia’s parents moved to the Hermann property about four years ago; Rashell grew up on her family’s land on O’Brien Road and went to Port Angeles schools; Mike grew up just east and went to Sequim schools.

Now they call the Hermann Brothers Logging & Construction, Inc., home base off Blue Mountain road, where the Hermanns have lived for more than a century.

And while other youngsters her age are interested in after-school things like dances and clubs, Amelia is content to be here with her horses and other teens with similar interests, Rashell says.

“I had to put a curfew (at 9 p.m.),” she says, “because she’d stay down here forever.”

Sunland Golf and Country Club hosts its annual “Drive for the Cure” golf tournament and luncheon on Saturday, September 15th.

The game is a modified scramble with a 9 a.m. shotgun start for 18 holes of play and an 11a.m. start time for those wishing to play nine holes. Men and women may sign up as a team of four or sign up individually and the pro shop will make up teams. Mixed teams of men and women are welcome.

Costs include $65 for 18 holes and $50 for nine holes with lunch and a Mulligan/Magic Putt included. Cart rental is $16 per seat for 18 holes and $10 per seat for nine holes.

Non-golfers are encouraged to attend the luncheon which starts at 1:30 p.m. for $20.

Funds minus expenses go to the Olympic Medical Center Foundation to enable local women to receive mammograms when they do not have insurance or the means to pay for a mammogram. An anonymous Sunland donor will match funds raised $1 for every $3 up to last year’s total of $4,650, and $1 for every $1 raised over that amount.

Additional fund raising avenues include: a putting contest; raffles for gift baskets. Make checks to OMC (Olympic Medical Center) Foundation. Cash and check donations can be brought to the Sunland Pro Shop the day of the event. Sign up by noon Monday, Sept. 10th. For additional information, call Cheryl Coulter at 360-681-2796.

Shifting Gears

Longstanding table tennis group finds home in Old Dungeness Schoolhouse

I’ve had a lot of conversations recently that went like this: “So, you’re a bike rider.” [The first clue was probably my outfit—the helmet, the fingerless gloves, the shoes, the bright colors of my jersey. But it could also have been the expression on my face since (more often than not at the time) I’d just a ride and was Cycling Around finished sporting what likely seemed an inexplicaKen Stringer ble, incongruous look that combined adult exhaustion and child-like glee.]

“Yep! How about you? do you ride?”

“Me? No. I haven’t been on a bike since I was a kid!”

“You should try it again. “ “Nah. It’s been way too long, and I’m way too [here you can fill in the blank with “old,” or “out of shape,” or “uncoordinated,” etc.] for that! Besides, I wouldn’t know where to start.”

That, of course, gets me to preaching about all the benefits of cycling. Sometimes the person will listen for a bit while slowly backing up and looking for the nearest escape route.

But most of the time they listen, then start asking questions, then start talking about their bike that’s been “collecting dust for years in the garage,” and you can see the old memories of what it was like to ride a bike start to kick in. Sure enough, the next time you see them they’ll say, “Guess what? I started riding again!” I love it every time I hear that! At the same time, I know the decision isn’t always an easy one to make — or to stick with.

‘Serious’

play on the table

Sequim Gazette

There’s ping pong … and then there’s table tennis.

For a group of avid players meeting twice a week at the Old Dungeness Schoolhouse on Towne Road, the sport/recreation of table tennis is a serious pasttime.

“New Years, Christmas Day, Thanksgiving … we don’t miss a day,” player Sandy Boudrou said in between matches.

Some people play four days a week, she said — here and with another group, or on home tables.

After years of friendly competition at the Sequim Boys & Girls Club, this group made the switch to the schoolhouse about a year ago, player Mark McNabb said.

There’s good light and high ceilings that make for prime table tennis conditions, he said.

Set-up starts at about 8:30 a.m. and play lasts through noon each Monday and Thursday, come rain, shine or holiday.

“We usually get enough to get two tables going,” McNabb said.

Sandy Boudrou and Mark McNabb pair up for some table tennis play at the Old Dungeness Schoolhouse earlier this summer.

Sequim Gazette photo by Michael Dashiell

“They are fun people, and it’s great exercise.”

While some “double dip” by also playing in regular games at the Shipley Center, some folks are tentative about trying their paddle with this advanced group, and for good reason.

McNabb, who has played with the group since 2010, said usually wouldbe players stop by and watch, seeing if they’re up to the task.

Boudrou said she’s been playing with the group for about 13 years.

“For most years I was the only woman,” she said.

“I didn’t know anything about spins or anything but I kept coming,” she said. She even went so far as to go to Seattle for table tennis lessons.

That didn’t stop her from considering dropping the group.

“They probably wanted me to quit, too,” Boudrou joked.

On this early summer day, players are taking up all eight spots (two doubles games) while four or five hang out, awaiting a turn.

Boudrou said this crowd is predominantly retired folks, since play is during the morning.

“Some are very serious (about the game),” McNabb said. “We do some running and diving and falling on the floor (but) it’s not a young crowd.”

He added that while the play level is high here, there is still room for improvement.

“It’s fun to watch people get better,” he said.

Stop by the Old Dungeness Schoolhouse, 2741 Towne Road, to join in the play.

Let’s start with a key point about bicycling: if you’ve ever ridden a bike, you know how to ride a bike — it’s a skill that you never lose! You may be a bit rusty at first if you haven’t ridden in years (or decades), but you’ll find it comes back quick and easy. I can’t cite all the scientific studies out there, but I’m pretty sure they’ve proved what we all know intuitively: You never forget how to ride a bike because the unparalleled sense of joy and freedom you first experience when your ability to propel yourself down the road exponentially expanded your world and opened a whole new realm of adventure and exploration leaves a unique imprint on your brain cells. Just Google it.

So “it’s been way too long” is not a legitimate reason or excuse for not getting back on a bike. In fact, it’s probably the best reason to actually get back on your bike!

Second, there’s no such thing as being “too old” to ride a bike. The infirmities of age may be an obstacle, but citing age itself? Wrong! Just take a look around Sequim (ideally by riding your bike!). Yes, there are a lot of young kids tooling around on their BMX bikes — the low-riding single-speeds they do all kinds of wild stunts on, and you’ll see a bunch of families out riding in the evenings or on weekends. But, as you’d expect given our demographics, the vast majority of cyclists you’ll see on the roads and trails in our area are 60 or older.

Gears

From page B-6

Being “out of shape” is actually one of the best reasons to get back on your bike. Cycling is a great form of exercise because it causes less strain and injury, is a time-efficient way to get a good workout that uses all the major muscle groups, it’s good for strength, stamina, and aerobic fitness, and it’s fun!

Lack of coordination is also no good reason for not getting on a bike. Indeed, unlike many sports, cycling doesn’t require a high level of physical skill.

And remember that like gravity and the speed of light, it’s a law of the universe that once you learn how to ride a bike, you never forget.

New you That brings us to the question of “Where to begin?”

Start with a good bike. It doesn’t have to be brand new or terribly expensive.

But do make sure it’s in good operating condition. If you’ve finally pulled your old bike out of storage, take it to a local bike shop to have them look it over. They may just replace some tubes, tires, and cables, lube your chain and other key parts, and do a general “tune up.” Or they may look at you and give you the bad news that, despite all their best efforts, there was nothing they could

do. The good news is that if you end up buying a new bike, you’ll be amazed at the improvements in the equipment and, oddly enough, at how much better a cyclist you are now than you ever were before!

Strange, but true.

Next, make sure you have the right gear. Wearing a properly fitting helmet is a must. Front and rear lights and a rear-view mirror are also essential safety equipment.

Comfortable clothing makes for a more enjoyable time on the road or trail and you’ll find bike shorts — extra padding in the seat — are a necessity once you start ridingregularly or for longer distances.

Finally, find a good group to ride with. There are lots to choose from in our area, with multiple options for riding dates and times, pace and distance, and so on.

And each group consists of friendly, knowledgeable people, many starting out again just like you and many others who are happy to guide you through the process of becoming a “cyclist”—you know, one of those colorfully-clad folks who take to the roads and trails any time they can?

SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF This has been a very “STORM” themed summer so far. Fifteen of our finest girls were invited to participate in the Seattle Storm Leadership Academy at the Swedish Hospital in Seattle. Swedish Hospital is the Storm’s main partner and they facilitated a fun-filled day where the girls met several of the Swedish staff, including a pediatrician and rehab doctor. The Academy’s purpose was to instill into young girls that the medical field is a great career field to consider. The girls learned CPR and had a chance to hang out with Storm point guard Noelle Quinn, a 12-year veteran of the WNBA. The day truly sparked many of the girl’s interest in the medical field.

Morning Camp’s theme this week was Dr. Seuss. The children read several of Dr. Seuss’ classics, including “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish” and of course “Green Eggs and Ham.” The children made “Cat in the Hat” hats and “Oh the Places You Go” suitcases, which they used to store their itinerary for their favorite trips. On Thursday the children were treated to “Green Eggs and Ham” for breakfast. It tasted better than it looked. The week ended with the kids watching “The Lorax” movie. Dr. Seuss week

Celebrating fives with high fives SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF Many Sequim High School students were recognized for earning a score of a five on their advanced placement exams taken in May; the highest score that can be awarded on a one to five point scale.

Joe van de Weghe, Sequim High’s AP calculus teacher, said 41 fives were earned by 28 students this year. To honor these students, teachers visited students at their homes during the summer break and congratulated them with a yard sign reading, “You scored a ‘5’ on your AP exam!”

“How exciting it is to recognize these young individuals who are able to achieve success at the highest levels,” van de Weghe said.

The number of AP courses offered has increased over the years, he said, from seven courses offered in the 2013-2014 school year to 13 offered in the 20182019 school year. Earning a three or higher on the AP exam allows students to earn advanced placement, college credit, or both at most universities, van de Weghe said.

“Earning a five on an AP exam demands a significant amount of commitment and determination,” he said.

“These students have not only elected to take some of the most rigorous courses available in high school, but have demonstrated mastery of the content, thereby earning them college placement and/or credit.”

Other Sequim High AP teachers share van de Weghe’s sentiments.

“I am so excited to be able to recognize these students at their homes and in their neighborhoods,” Saralyn Pozernick, Sequim High AP US history

teacher, said.

“Their success in this program reflects not only the work of their current teachers but also the hard work of teachers at all levels of our district.”

Sequim Schools superintendent Gary Neal also congratulated AP students.

“In order for a student to receive the highest score possible of 5 on an AP exam, the student must demonstrate an ability to be ‘extremely qualified’ in doing college level work in that particular subject matter,” Neal said.

“Congratulations to these students for challenging their academic capacity and achieving the highest score possible on the exam!”

Schock earns master’s degree from Cal Poly P.E.O. Chapter HM announced last week the graduation of Samantha Schock, the organization’s first scholarship recipient of the chapter’s education foundation.

Schock graduated cum laude from Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo on June 17 with a master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering after receiving her Bachelor of Science in the same degree in June 2017.

After defense of her master’s thesis, “Building a sterilizable, microfluidic PDMS device capable of modeling human micro physiological conditions,” Schock will be working as an Associate Clinical Account Specialist for Biosense Webster (a subsidiary of Johnson and Johnson) in Irvine, Calif.

Her job includes providing professional clinical support to health care providers regarding the BWI CARTO 3-D electro-anatomical mapping system, primarily working in the operating room alongside electrophysiology physicians performing advanced cardiac ablation procedures.

Sequim Middle School Honor Roll

Schock became interested in the cardiac side of biomedical engineering while working in the emergency room at Marian Hospital part-time as a scribe for ER doctors the last two years.

“That work helped inspire my senior project which entailed building a sensory device to detect myocardial infarctions based off the patient’s EKG,” Schock said. “The goal of the project was to detect these before major damage occurs.”

Schock is a 2013 Sequim High School graduate.

“It’s been a fantastic five years at Cal Poly although it was an adjustment coming from Sequim when I first started,” she said.

“I was a bit overwhelmed and struggled a little my first year.

However, I knew what my final goal was, so I just kept going until I finally hit my stride. I’ve been so blessed to have so many people from Sequim support me and believe in me by means of giving me scholarships. I didn’t want to let them down, or my family or myself.

Grinnell From page B1

She felt it was perfect for her grandmother.

“I thought it really embodied my grandmother in the way she has carried on the language, the stories and the basketry,” she said.

“She has spent decades trying to make sure our culture survives, that we became educated and that we were able to walk in two worlds — because you have to be able to walk in your own tribal community and in the non-native world.”

Elaine Grinnell is a champion for education, say members of her tribe. She was the first state-certified teacher of the S’Klallam language. She worked as a counselor to Native American students at the Port Angeles School District for 27 years as well and has always encouraged youth to become educated.

“I loved my job,” she said. “If I had to start my life all over, I wouldn’t change a thing.”

Elaine Grinnell said she takes pride in the fact that the University of Washington accepts the S’Klallam language, even as a “foreign language.”

“We kind of laugh about ‘foreign language,’” she said, adding she doesn’t care what it’s called as long as it is accepted.

Allen said if students missed school, they would often get a lecture from “grandma Elaine.”

“Some called her grandma, some called her aunty,” he said.

She is proud of the success she has seen from tribal youth on the North Olympic Peninsula, Elaine

Grinnell said.

“A lot of our students from our sister tribes and ours are going to college,” she said. “We have lawyers, accountants, firemen and vocational people in the fields too.”

Khia Grinnell said she is thankful her grandmother was honored while she still has her health. She said a cousin who attended the event in Blyn said it best: “Most people don’t get honored until they die, but we were able to come together and have this honoring for my grandma and to hear some of the stories,” Khia Grinnell said, paraphrasing her cousin.

“She knows how loved and re-

From page B-7 Chores for School Age Children: As your child grows older his responsibility with chores should also increase. Picking up after themselves should continue. Have him put up his backpack or school papers when he comes home.

As chores become more complex, teach him in a step-by-step manner how to do each task. For example, if he is expected to put his own clothes away, show him where to put them and how to put them away. Be sure to include praise for what he does correctly.

spected she is and how much she has done.”

Remembrance Elaine Grinnell continues to live three blocks from where she grew up in the Jamestown/Dungeness area, she said, and recalls gun placements along the water and soldiers walking the roads during World War II when she was quite young.

Over the years, Elaine Grinnell’s stories have earned her many awards, and she was even featured in a graphic novel, “Trickster,” and she produced DVDs/CDs of her storytelling, too.

Add tasks such as ways to help the family so he has a sense of belonging. He can now set the table for everyone. He can take out dishes for more than himself. He can make his bed or feed the dog daily.

Chores for Tweens and Teens: By now it is clear there is no need to reward a child for every task he does. Picking up after himself and cleaning his room, for example, are part of pitching in and helping the family.

But other new helpful chores should come into the picture. Yard work, folding clothes, picking up the dog messes, vacuuming the floor, doing the laundry and dusting the shelves all enter the picture. Some tasks will help your teen learn to live independently which is worth encouraging.

my grandchildren because I didn’t want them to forget the stories, but then people so interested in them I started selling DVDs and CDs,” she said.

Along with storytelling, she remains active in various committees, such as a housing improvement committee and in education helping select college scholarships for Native American students with Jamestown and Lower Elwha tribes.

She’s also the former chairman of the Northwest Native American Basketweavers Association and now three of her granddaughters and two grandsons continue the basketweaving tradition.

“There are more Jamestown making baskets than ever before,” she said. “I’m proud of them for keeping the things that happened a long time ago, alive.”

For her storytelling, Elaine Grinnell has traveled the world — Africa, Thailand, Japan, Alaska, and Washington, D.C. — to name a few.

Her next trip was to visit with paddlers for The Power Paddle to Puyallup 2018 Canoe Journey.

“I want to be there to drum them in and let them know they have support from their community,” she said.

Somewhere in here is a place for adding allowance or coming up with a token exchange for work done to pay for electronics or outing with friends.

Giving your teen an allowance can motivate him to do chores. It can also serve as a way to teach your teen about how to manage money.

Chores start out little but gets big as time goes by. It is well worth developing a strong beginning.

TIGRE is quite the character!

Not only is he physically impressive, but he’s got a cool personality, too! Tigre has been ok with other dogs, although the previous owner says he was fighting with other dogs when they were in the yard. Were investigating this further to see if he doesn’t like sharing toys.. but he still loves other dogs and would be good play partner! He is NOT GOOD WITH CATS. MOLLY is a blue heeler (Australian Cattle Dog)/ black lab mix. She had anxiety and fear issues (most of these issues have gotten SO much better!) but she needs and will thrive in an environment that is calm and quiet and one that is just her and her owner. She does not do well with cats. She also would do best in a home without children or other dogs. She is very smart and learns quickly. We are fostering Molly until she finds her new home, we want her to transition well, so we are willing to have interested and qualified people meet her at our home. Please call the shelter to arrange a meeting.

NUMERO is a really nice little guy that has been trying to find that FOREVER home, but just not having any luck. His last owner had to move across the country and bring Numero back to us. Numero would do best with an active owner, or an owner that can be with him most of the day. Numero is playful, lovable. He will be a loyal companion, for sure! He just needs to find someone that will be loyal to HIM, too! Numero would do best as an ONLY pet, and he plays too rough to be around little kids... Older kids or teenagers could be OK.

Library backpacks encourage youth to explore natural world

by PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

Through September, North Olympic Library System (NOLS) patrons can check out a backpack geared toward preschoolers to encourage exploration of the natural world.

Designed by the Burke Museum, each Backyard Scientist Kit contains a magnifying lens, specimen viewer, collection boxes, bug net, binoculars, ideas for nature walk activities, a book, a feather, a rock, a shell and an insect.

Funded through a Thrive Washington grant and the Burke Museum, the backpacks are perfect to explore the outdoors with your young one without leaving your own backyard.

“The backpacks and activity sheets do a great job of providing parents and caregivers with basic tools for open-ended conversation with preschoolers,” said Jennifer Knight, Youth Services librarian.

“The Burke Museum’s activity guide succinctly gives people ideas on how to get kids talking, thinking and interpreting what they see, which is critical component of early literacy.

“The backpack also encourages people to explore nature, which can introduce kids to all kinds of new experiences and vocabulary words that can help them be more prepared for kindergarten.”

Backyard Scientist backpacks are available at each

branch of the North Olympic Library System.

Search for “backyard scientist” in the library catalog or ask for them at any local branch.

ABOUT THE BURKE MUSEUM

The Burke Museum is a research-and collections-based museum in Seattle.

It serves many audiences and communities, including Washington state residents, tourists and visitors to Seattle, educators and students, indigenous and Pacific communities, and researchers, scholars and enthusiasts.

The 16 million objects (and counting) in the Burke collections are used for education and research throughout Washington.

The museum is responsible for the state’s collections of natural and cultural heritage and sharing the knowledge that makes them meaningful.

Powering through the summer ritual of procrastination

by KRISTIN HALBERG, a leadership and wellness coach based in Port Angeles and owner of The Dream Hatchery

Summer is in full swing. Most likely, whether you are aware of it or not, your family rituals are, too.

Historically for me, summer rituals revolved around time on the water. I had the privilege of growing up on Lake Crescent.

We played in and on the water nearly every day of summer vacation, tirelessly jumping off the dock, challenging our balance by standing and floating on old black inner tubes, swimming and making up various imaginative water games.

As a teenager, I mixed these in with voraciously reading our entire library and writing snail mail letters to my pen pals while sunbathing on our floating dock.

As an adult, these moments are mixed in with the responsibilities of work and caring for my garden.

WHAT ARE YOUR SUMMER RITUALS?

Whether or not we’re aware of our rituals, we all have them. But much of the time we throw ourselves into the busy activities of summer, one day following another until we’re surprised that it’s suddenly time for back-toschool shopping and summer is almost over.

We procrastinate on the tasks of summer we don’t enjoy, try to cram a few more fun summer activities into the days remaining and wind up feeling overwhelmed by all the tasks we put off.

This summer, I invite you to consider a more contemplative approach to your remaining sunny days.

PART I: IDENTIFY AND SAVOR

Stop right now, go outside and look around at the natural bounty of the summer season.

What sights and sounds signal to you that it’s summer rather than another season of the year?

If you grew up in a different part of the country, what summer experiences from your childhood do you miss or are happy to have left behind?

What are your favorite sensory experiences of summer? Take the time to name your favorite ways to experience the sights, sounds, tastes, smells and felt sensations of summer.

To make this a family activity, coax your family to

share their favorites over a meal.

Once you’ve taken time to identify your favorite sensory experiences of summer, I invite you to savor those moments and allow them to stretch your imagination and your sense of time.

Instead of rushing to clear the table, wash the dishes or check your phone after a meal, linger over your dinner conversations like the light lingers in the sky.

PART II: FREE YOUR MENTAL ENERGY

Now, think of a task that is part of your summer ritual of procrastination.

If you were to complete this task, would it give you more peace of mind and free you up to enjoy the moments left?

What larger purpose/goal is this task a part of?

How might you tackle this task in a way that plays to your strengths and values, clears your mind from the nagging guilt of procrastination and accomplishes the larger goal this task represents?

For example, one of the things I love about spring is planting a garden. I love watching the sprouts shoot up like magic.

However, the task of summer weeding seems like it never ends.

As a result in the past I’ve often neglected my garden, choosing to ignore it rather than tend it, trying to cram more fun water activities into my summer at the expense of my garden, even though one of my favorite sensory experiences of summer is the taste of fresh vegetables and the sights and sounds of wildlife in my yard.

This year, after intentionally developing my spiritual apprenticeship to nature, instead of avoiding this chore, I set the goal of creating a wildlife friendly organic garden and broke the weeding down into bite-sized chunks.

That is, rather than looking at the overwhelming task of weeding my entire garden each day, I focus on a couple square feet, mindfully noticing more about that small area.

How is the soil? What insects did I uncover? Are they beneficial? What can I do to keep them happy? If they’re pests, how can I get rid of them organically?

Practicing this mindful tending of my garden and looking for ways I can cultivate my strengths and values has

given me a deeper appreciation for the abundance of wildlife my garden attracts and expanded my knowledge of organic gardening.

Now, when I look at my garden, instead of seeing it as a pile of work that still needs to be done, I take pride in the variety of butterflies and hummingbirds flitting from flower to flower, the garter snakes helping me save my plants from slugs, the brightly colored flowers waving in the breeze and the delicious summer vegetable crop interspersed amongst the flowers and herbs.

PART III: REFLECTION

When you appreciate and savor the aspects of summer you love and tackle the tasks that keep you from fully enjoying the moment, you are invited into a more mindful way of experiencing the ordinary and more opportunities for grace.

SUMMER IS HERE! Spend a little time outdoors with your family this season

by PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

The Olympic Peninsula features a wealth of family-friendly hiking trails making it easy to plan an outdoor experience this summer.

Extended daylight hours, mild summer weather and plenty of things to see and do make the Peninsula an excellent choice for families to explore.

Here are just a few trails to conquer and experiences to add to your family’s summer to-do list: OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK Olympic National Park features an array of hikes suitable for children of all ages.

Short trails at Hurricane Ridge are perfect hiking experiences for little legs. Exploring the Hoh Rain Forest and strolling along easy-to-access coastal beaches are other options for young adventurers.

Along the way, youth will be learning about animals, trees and plants that call the park home.

Children even have the chance to become an official junior Olympic National Park ranger.

Free copies of the Olympic National Park Junior Ranger booklet can be picked up at any visitor center in the park.

When children visit the park, they can complete the steps in the booklet to earn a junior ranger badge.

The park also offers the Ocean Steward Junior Ranger Program, a fun, hands-on program for children ages 4 and older.

Children are encouraged to explore the area’s coastal ecosystem, learn new facts and understand how to help protect Olympic National Park’s wilderness coast and the Pacific Ocean.

Download and print the Ocean Steward Junior Ranger book at nps.gov/olym or obtain a free copy at any visitor center within the park.

Children who complete the book according to the instructions will receive an Ocean Steward Patch.

A park pass may be required at entrance stations.

An annual park pass costs $55 and is good at any Olympic National Park entrance station for one year from the month of purchase.

A consecutive seven-day park pass costs $30 per vehicle, or $25 for individuals on foot, bicycle or motorcycle. Children 15 years old and younger are admitted free of charge.

Some of the more popular family-friendly trails that are appropriate for young children include: • Hurricane Hill — The 3-mile round-trip trek begins from a parking area and climbs about 950 feet to offer amazing views of the Olympic Mountains, photo by BECKY MCFARLAND Jonah McFarland, 11, of Port Angeles enjoys a quiet moment cooling his feet off in a shallow channel of the Dungeness River.

RIGHT: Dennis Tisdale, 3, of Port Angeles is excited to see a waterfall in an isolated cove off the Striped Peak Trail at Salt Creek Recreation Area near Joyce.

The mostly paved trail is well-maintained.

Children have a chance to watch deer and Olympic marmots feeding on wildflowers and grasses. Bears can sometimes be viewed in distant valleys.

Stop at informational signs to identify mountain peaks and wildlife. Encourage children to try to identify wildflowers that bloom along the trail and learn about animals that live in the area.

Be sure to pack a camera to let little ones try their hand at nature photography and to take photos of them enjoying the stroll.

• Lake Crescent — Cool off on a warm summer day by spending some time at Lake Crescent.

Corded-off areas near East Beach and Fairholme are considered swimming areas, but children need to be supervised by parents or guardians at all times.

• Marymere Falls — A 1.8-mile round-trip trail starts by following the shoreline of Lake Crescent before leading people through old-growth forest to reach the waterfall.

For about the first three-quarters of a mile of the trail, wheelchairs may be used with assistance.

Children will enjoy crossing Barnes Creek over a rustic log bridge and will be amazed by the size of some of the trees located just off the trail.

SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO PENINSULA DAILY NEWS AND SEQUIM GAZETTE

The final trek to the falls is a steep uphill climb with the choice of two lookouts: one about 50 feet above the falls and the other at its base.

For a more ambitious hike, venture off the trail to the falls at the Mount Storm King trailhead.

• Ancient Groves Nature Trail — For a look at some more old-growth trees, venture into the Sol Duc Valley and stop at this self-guided nature trail.

The loop is less than a mile long and offers views of tall trees and the Sol Duc River from above.

• Ruby Beach — This easy-to-access beach is located about 35 miles south of Forks.

The beach is known for its pinkish sands, which derive color from tiny grains of garnet. Take in a sunset to fully appreciate the pink glow of the sands.

A short trail through a green canopy of trees leads to a pile of driftwood that children should be careful climbing over to reach a sandy stretch of beach. >> SUMMER continued on page 11

As one of the county’s most popular parks, it offers visitors forests, rocky bluffs, tide pools, a sandy stretch of beach and campsites.

The park features panoramic views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Crescent Bay and Vancouver Island.

Salt Creek is on the National Audubon’s Olympic Loop of the Greater Washington State Birding Trail, making it a wonderful place to spot birds.

The area was once the location of Camp Hayden, a World War II harbor defense military base. Remnants of two concrete bunkers can be viewed. The base was decommissioned at the end of World War II. Children can learn about sea life while exploring the adjacent Tongue Point Marine Life Sanctuary.

The area includes a rocky outcropping that, at low tide, reveals starfish, sea urchins, limpets, sea cucumbers and other forms of marine life.

Take care when exploring tide pools to make sure the delicate sea life is not harmed by feet, fingers, sticks or other objects.

Salt Creek also provides access to the state’s Striped Peak Recreation Area, which features hiking and mountain bike trails.

Learning from one another at Peninsula Pre-Three Co-Op Parent-run co-op for toddlers creates a welcoming, learning community for all involved

by TRISH TISDALE

When Rebecca van der Merwe first heard about Peninsula Pre-Three Co-Op, she didn’t think the program would be a good fit for her and her son.

“I thought it was a daycare for people who couldn’t afford daycare,” she said, “and I thought the parent education component was for people who didn’t know parenting basics like diapering.”

After a recommendation for the program from her son’s pediatrician, who had been involved with the program with her own sons, van der Merwe decided to give it a try.

“She recommended Pre-Three to me as a way for my son — an only child — to socialize more with other children,” van der Merwe explained.

“She said it would also be good for me as a parent to join a supportive community of other parents.”

As she attended the weekly classes, van der Merwe said she discovered a group of parents who have honest discussions with each other about parenting, while their children gain social interaction with similar-aged children.

“I am so thankful that this program exists in Port Angeles,” she said.

“It’s helped us immensely during the challenging toddler years.”

PENINSULA PRE-THREE CO-OP

Peninsula Pre-Three Co-Op is a parent-run organization for children ages 10 months to 3½ years old and their parents or caregivers.

The program’s goal is to provide a supportive learning community for families. Children interact and play in a supervised environment, overseen by a teacher and rotating “working parents,” while parents remain on-site and participate in parenting discussions facilitated by an instructor from Peninsula College.

The nonprofit organization has been around for almost 40 years.

Pre-Three is located at First Baptist Church, 105 W. Sixth St., Port Angeles, although it is not affiliated with the church.

Each week, parents or caregivers attend class with their children. There are four classes, separated by ages.

Morning classes are available for children ages 10 months to 18 months, 18 months to 2½ years old and 2½ to 3½ years old.

Pre-Three also offers an evening multi-age class for children ages 18 months to 3½ years. This particular class has seen growth in the past few years with parents who work during the day.

“After a few classes, I realized I was learning a lot about my child by assisting the teacher with the other children and by watching my son interact with the other parents and teachers,” said van der Merwe.

“My ability to communicate with toddlers and understand their needs has really improved because I’ve been exposed to such a wide variety of personalities and parenting styles.” >> PRE-THREE continued on page 13

COMMUNITY

A resounding explanation of Pre-Three is that it’s a welcoming family.

“I feel like I belong to a community,” said van der Merwe.

“I left my career to stay home with my son, and it can be very isolating to be a stay-at-home mom.”

McCann added, “I have loved being involved with such an amazing organization and getting to know so many other families. I knew that becoming involved with a great group of people and children would be an amazing opportunity for us.”

Cammack especially loves seeing parents connect with one another.

“I love the interactions with parents and children,” she said. “It’s definitely fun to see the excitement combined with relief when a parent takes home a new technique or strategy to try with their child.”

The first years of children’s lives are critical for setting them on the right trajectory, and Pre-Three helps them reach their potential by providing a structured and stimulating way for them to interact with their environment and their peers.

Meanwhile, parents learn from each other through supportive, nonjudgmental discussions.

The program is affordable, available year-round, and provides a child-safe environment for babies and toddlers.

STORYTIME ON THE ROAD

The theme for the 2018 Summer Reading Program is Libraries Rock!

This summertime celebration, which encourages children to keep reading during their summer break from school, features a reading challenge and a multitude of events for all ages.

Research shows that children who do not read during the summer experience “summer slide” and may lose up to a month of the instructional knowledge they gained during the previous school year.

Library summer reading programs have been shown to help alleviate the “summer slide” by providing access to books, enrichment activities and encouraging young people to keep reading.

The 2018 Summer Reading Program continues through Aug. 18.

As part of the North Olympic Library System’s Summer Reading Program, library staff are hitting the road during the month of July for a one-of-a-kind storytime series.

Catch a special roving storytime on Fridays in July at 10:30 a.m. at a different location each week.

Storytimes are for toddlers, preschoolers and the adults in their lives.

Remaining storytimes include: • Thursday, July 26, at 10:30 a.m. at the Railroad Bridge Park amphitheater, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road in Sequim • Friday, July 27, at 10:30 a.m. at the Port Angeles Fire Department, 102 E. Fifth St. in Port Angeles
