Beach renewed after armoring removed
Groundbreaking marks 20 years of PT planning
BY ROB OLLIKAINEN PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — It didn’t take long for a half-mile section of eroded beach to be transformed after derelict armor was removed east of the Elwha River mouth. In one tidal cycle, parts of the sediment-starved, coarse-cobble shoreline were covered by 6 feet to 10 feet of sand as the Beach Lake Acquisition and Restoration project was put into motion last weekend.

PORT TOWNSEND — Construction of the long-awaited Howard Street Extension will begin Monday. Community members and representatives of the city, county, state and federal governments gathered at the dead-end intersection of Howard and Sixth streets in Port Townsend on Friday to break ground on the project. The extension will connect
West Sims Way and Discovery Road, relieving some of the congestion on Sims Way and allowing for more commercial development in the area, according to City Engineer David Peterson. Local company Seton Construction Inc. won the bid for the project. It’s not the firm’s first time working with the city of Port Townsend; Seton was also the contractor for the Sims Way roundabouts — one of which connects to Howard Street. TURN

Officials prepare for worst in shooting drill Sequim exercise a state mandate BY JESSE MAJOR PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
CARLSBORG — First responders in Clallam County prepared for a worst-case scenario during a mass shooting drill at Greywolf Elementary School. Friday’s drill was the first active shooter mass casualty drill to include several Clallam County law enforcement agencies, fire departments and paramedics. The drill at Greywolf Elementary at 171 Carlsborg Road was also the first on-site active shooter drill State Patrol Trooper Alisha Gruszewski has participated in
locally. Practicing on-site helps her and other responders become more familiar with the school, which helps if a real emergency would occur, she said. As Gruszewski entered the school, children with simulated injuries began crying and yelling for help. They asked how their friends were doing and if they were going to live. Amid all the confusion, she and other officers still needed to concentrate on the shooter, who remained inside. Many of those involved had to block out the pain and helplessness of the mock victims and con-
centrate on eliminating the threat. “There were a lot of voices and a lot of different combinations of things going on when we’re in there,” she said. “It’s trying to pick out the things that are most important and then zoning out on the rest.” As she approached the building, she said the first thing on her mind was communication, thinking about how to interact with different agencies and how it was going to go when she got inside. Law enforcement from the Sequim Police Department, Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, Olympic National Park, State Patrol and U.S. Border Patrol participated in the drill.
