Shoreline plan ready for public review Draft adoption expected by early 2015 by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

The county’s planning commission will begin the public review process of the updated Shoreline Master Program draft after Department of Community Development

staff completed their revisions at the beginning of the month – concluding one of many steps involved in the program’s multi-year review and update process. The Shoreline Master Program provides county officials with information and regulations needed to

manage water bodies and adjoining shoreline in areas where people live, work and recreate, Steve Gray, DCD deputy director and planning manager, said. “The Shoreline Master Program focuses on striking a balance between development and economic growth while preserving our unique

The Sequim Union Bank at 901 W. Washington St., will close its doors Feb. 20. Officials with the bank sent closure notices via mail on Nov. 12 informing customers of the anticipated closure date. The Sequim branch is one of many Union Banks closing as the corporation vacates the Olympic Peninsula. The Port Angeles, Port Townsend and Poulsbo locations also will be closing the same date as the Sequim branch. The following week the Bremerton, Gig Harbor and Silverdale branches also will shutter their doors. Before making the decision to close any particular branch, officials with Union Bank consider the economic factors, overall market and the customers’ changing preferences, Alan Gulick, director of corporate communications, said. “It was a very hard decision,” Gulick said. “The decision had to be made to stay competitive in a tough environment.” Although Gulick said bank customers don’t need to do anything immediately and can continue using their existing checks, coupons and deposit slips – eventually he would encourage customers to schedule an appointment with the staff at their local bank branch to decide what alternative banking options would be best come Feb. 20. Following the multiple closures, the nearest Union Bank location for Sequim customers will be the Bainbridge Island branch. All

species of pet is important, rabbit owners “really have to learn about dietary needs” because rabbits have sensitive digestive systems and are “physically more delicate then a dog or cat.” To assure the health of every rabbit rescued, NORR officials get each rabbit examined by a veterinarian at either Greywolf Veterinary Hospital or Sequim Animal Hospital. Each rabbit also is spayed or neutered upon rescue. In NORR’s beginning, Montoya was told by several people that the rescue “could never succeed or really make a difference because rabbits breed fast,” Montoya said. Though, after nearly two years and having positively impacted more than 30 animals’ lives, not including indirect or collaborative efforts with other rescues, Montoya feels that NORR is making a difference. The no-kill group will be bringing four of its adoptable rabbits to Best Friend Nutrition, Monday, Nov. 24, to provide educational information about rabbit ownership and health, answer questions and potentially find homes for Avery O’Hare, Beethoven Bach, Cornelius The Clever and Lana Lane the Super Girl. “Rabbits have huge personalities, similar to a dog or cat,” Montoya said. “They’re playful, very interactive and can learn their name and tricks.” During the rabbit adoption, NORR will have tickets available for its “Hoppy Holiday Giveaway” planned for Monday, Dec. 22. The grand prize includes a hand-printed tote bag stuffed with a variety of supplies, such as CareFresh litter, Oxbow hay, Oxbow food, two kinds of Oxbow treats, a chew toy and the book “Rabbits For Dummies.”

Interlopers from the north find a spot for a picnic at John Wayne Marina recently, as contributor Bob Lampert finds.

Since the North Olympic Rabbit Rescue took shape two years ago all because of one abandoned rabbit, lifelong animal lover and director of NORR Brandon Montoya has grown the organization into a federally registered charity. “We had been an off-thebooks volunteer group rooted in the idea of helping other rescues help rabbits and catch a small portion of the overflow and special care work for rabbits and a few other animals.” However, as NORR grew and the need for assisting rabbits find forever homes continued to persist throughout the Olympic Peninsula, Montoya decided it was time to become an official charity. Becoming a recognized charity would both help ensure detailed record keeping and give the organization “a little legal standing,” Montoya devoted solely for NORR, the said. Although NORR is still a rescue relies on volunteers relatively small organization and foster homes to function. Despite Montoya’s original with a varying five volunteers, it has aided in the welfare of focus on rabbits, if NORR has 35 animals directly, along the manpower and means to with indirectly impacting help additional species, it will. countless others by provid- Already NORR volunteers ing advice, volunteering and have helped dogs, cats, a duck collaborating with additional and a deer. “Our primary goal is rescuanimal rescues. ing rabbits Lookbecause it ing ahead, Rabbit adoption if NORR When: Noon-5 p.m., Monday, Nov. 24. is helping out where continues Where: Best Friend Nutrition, 680 W. no one to grow Washington Ave., Suite B102 else ha s and perMore info: www.olympicrabbit.org or stepped in haps esto help and tablishes e-mail rabbits@healthyinsanity.com we’re also it s o w n campus, Montoya said, the helping people take the time organization could likely to experience something they expand its rescue reach to otherwise might not stop and include other small species experience,” Montoya said.

Without the use of a campus or space unteers fill a niche within the animal rescue community from Forks to the Hood Canal given their narrow focus on rabbit rescue. Additional rescues like the Olympic Humane Society have limited room for rabbits and tend to put more attention toward cat and dog rescue, Montoya said. To keep NORR an active community service, the organizations receives anywhere from $1,000-$2,000 in annual donations, but the remainder and majority of the costs to maintain the rescue is supported by Montoya. Other sources of founding include adoption fees and the proceeds from handcrafted block print tote bags and shirts. To supplement any money contributions, supplies often are donated to NORR. This year Montoya noted two families that are donating vegetables on a regular basis. “Rabbits eat a lot of vegetables,” Montoya said, and although being educated on proper nutrition for any

Dozens tour site of new home Sequim Gazette staff

Several dozen Clallam County residents took the opportunity Saturday, Nov. 15, for a sneak peak of the future home of the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society at 1743 Old Olympic Highway just west of Agnew. “We’re having the open house to show off our new property and give people a look at what we’re planning to do,” said Donna Halsaver, vice president of OPHS’s board. Board president Kandace Pierce was one of several board members on hand giving tours on the 9.3-acre rural site. Although it was brisk outdoors, Pierce pointed out the site of a planned 5,500square-foot “state of the art” 40-unit dog kennel just west of an existing modular home that will be used for the administration building. Green Crow of Port Angeles

donated all of the site work ($100,000 value) for the kennel, driveway and parking which greatly reduced the total cost of the $1.4 million project, Pierce said. An additional $400,000 needs to be raised to complete the project scheduled to begin work by Hoch Construction of Port Angeles by Dec. 1. Additionally, the shelter complex will consist of a 1,152-square-foot cattery, 816-square-foot veterinary/surgery for OPHS veterinarian Dr. Suzy Zustiak and a 3,000-square-foot pole barn to be used for storage, an indoor dog play area, public training and education classes. “We’ve been just so blessed and honored city the generosity of the community,” Pierce said. “We’ve been going on faith to get this going.” Completion of the shelter is expected nine months after construction begins. To donate, mail donations to Olympic Peninsula Humane Society, PO Box 1376, Port Angeles, WA 98362 or contact capital campaign chairman Linda Crow at 460-3575 or lindacrow@greencrow.com.

From page A-1 They’ve been demolishing the former Lions Den meeting space and Sequim Police Department’s evidence storage room for two future conference rooms on the east end of the building. Students work about three hours, five days a week. “It’s a nice opportunity for the kids,” Stites said. “It teaches technical prep and they can earn college credit with a B or better.” Sequim city councilors gave Stites the go-ahead for $95,000 worth of materials on Nov. 10 and they endorsed a floor plan by architect and fellow city councilor Ken Hays, done for free, that redoes much of the 1982 building named after former Sequim Valley Lions Club member Guy Cole. Some of Hays’ plans include remodeling the kitchen, bathrooms, meeting spaces, acoustics, and adding a patio and landscaping. Some of the students hadn’t stepped foot in the building or knew its use before starting work inside. It’s always been here in the middle of Carrie Blake Park and I always wondered what it was for,” said Sequim senior Steven Pullam. Students like Pullam work toward credits learning the building trades as a joint effort by the Skills Center, Port Angeles School District, Sequim School District and now City of Sequim. They finished working on the Sequim School District’s Administration Building last school year as their ongoing project. To accommodate ongoing rentals at the convention center, Stites said the students are packing up nightly in a nearby trailer. Stites, an experienced contractor, said he estimates the project could take at least two years and the city’s funds could pay for projects through the end of the school year.

Finding funding

Joe Irvin, Sequim special projects manager, said to make up the needed funds they’ll seek grants and donations. “The first phase lends itself to being a good outreach plan for future funding and we can show what the $95,000 has paid for to those community groups,” he said. “The conference rooms and additional storage will be a real good step in showing we are serious about

making it more accommodating.” By redoing the convention center, Irvin said its new purpose will be to rebrand it as a community center that caters to a variety of users and programs such as in recreation and cultural enrichment activities. With rentals going down in recent years, some of the organizers’ goals are to make it a venue for more weddings, dances, ceremonies, small conferences, community

Commission sets meeting for Miller Peninsula trail plan Sequim Gazette staff

The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is hosting a public meeting regarding an interim trail plan for the Miller Peninsula State Park property near Sequim. The meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 24, at the Guy Cole Convention Center, 202 Blake Ave., Sequim. The meeting’s purpose is to gather public comment the commission may consider in making recommendations to agency director Don Hoch for a final interim trail plan. The meeting will include a presentation of the plan and discussion of project plans

and future planning efforts. Miller Peninsula State Park Property is a 2,860acre undeveloped property on the Miller Peninsula east of Sequim. The property is managed from Sequim Bay State Park. It was acquired in sections in 1993 and 1994 from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. Though the property is undeveloped, it is well-used because of its trail network, access to beaches, bluff vistas, forests and wildlife viewing. In 2005 and 2006, the state commission began a six-year planning and development process for a destination state park. Though state officials

Areas Code, Chapter 27.12 CCC, in 1992 to comply with the Growth Management Act requirements, the program hasn’t undergone a comprehensive review and update since the 1970s. “We’re now in the final phase of the review process,” Tom Montgomery, planning commission member, said. “The planning commission has been extensively involved with this for the last year or so.” Although public hearings before the Clallam County Board of County Commissioners aren’t anticipated until next year, the planning commission will continue to work with the DCD staff to iron out any remaining concerns and questions. “Now, it is really a matter of taking the draft through a more for m a l pu blic process with the planning commission,” Gray said. “The next step is to produce a public hearing schedule.” Before recommending a final draft to the board of commissioners, the planning commission will host public informational sessions to receive ample community feedback on the Shoreline Master Program. “I would expect the process and adoption of the plan, at least on a local level, by early 2015,” Gray said. Following the local adoption of the updated Shoreline Master Program, officials with Washington State Department of Ecology will have final approval and may return the program for additional work, Gray said.

County officials have been working steadily toward the most recent Shoreline Master Program update since 2009. Both the extensive research and supporting documents needed to adequately update the Shoreline Master Program and a decrease in DCD resources caused for some delay in the update process, but Gray said the process is “back on track.” “It is a pretty massive undertaking given this county has a lot of shorelines,” Gray said. “We have a lot of diverse coastline between the west and east ends of the county.” In addition to including all areas 200 feet inland from the county’s marine shorelines, the program also takes into consideration the shorelines of rivers with a flow greater than 20 cubic feet per second and lakes larger than 20 acres. It is important to have a thorough inventory and characterization of the wide variety of shorelines within the county because of the large amount to manage and to ensure the goals set in the program are being met and staying consistent with requirements, Gray said. “You would hope that you did your job well because after the program is adopted the next big goal is to monitor between other major updates or changes and be able to measure effectiveness,” Gray said. Public comments are welcomed by county officials and can e-mailed to SMP@ co.clallam.wa.us or mailed to the Clallam County Department of Community Development, 223 E. Fourth St, Suite 5.

Driven by Washington’s Shoreline Management Act, Clallam County adopted its first Shoreline Master Program in 1976 and by 2003 state rules required all counties and cities to update their Shoreline Master Programs every few years. One of the many goals of the Shoreline Master Program is to protect the ecological, economic and recreational values of the Dungeness Spit. The Dungeness Spit is the longest sand spit in the U.S. and forms Dungeness Bay, Gray said, but relies on erosion and transport of sediment from the marine bluffs to do so. Thus, significant disruption of the natural sediment supply and transport through shoreline armoring, for example, would impact sediment transport that supports natural maintenance of the spit.

An Uncommon Fish Don Wilson stands by the body of an ocean sunfish, also known as “mola,” during a walk along the beach near Jamestown Road and Graysmarsh Farm. The roughly 5-foot-long, oval-shaped fish has long dorsal and ventral fins that give it a unique look. Sunfish are the heaviest known fish within the “bony fish” classification and can grow to weigh thousands of pounds. Mola are found throughout tropical and temperate oceans, and aren’t often spotted near the Washington coastline. Liam Antrim, resource protection specialist for the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary, speculates the warmer-than-normal water temperatures within the area this fall could possibly be a reason for the fish’s appearance. Otherwise, Antrim said mola are sometimes seen off the outer-coastline near the surface of the ocean. Sequim Gazette photos by Alana Linderoth

OMHH earns ‘Elite’ award

Troll

From page A-1 A site supervisor who wished to remain anonymous said the Bandy family dropped the price to meet the average price of property in the area. “They want to be more competitive and wanted it to move,” the supervisor said. Following a feasibility study over 1½ years, the supervisor said, the owners explored the vacation rental market extensively. “They’ve been putting a lot of them (homes) on the market and doing weddings in the barn and they’ve found success,” the supervisor said. “They have a pretty neat business model and wanted to keep it open.” The vacation rentals, which include an antique barn, castle and carriage keep have been booked consistently, the supervisor said, and there are weddings set into 2016. “They recently made an effort to make it more family friendly with a haunted house and pumpkin patch,” the supervisor said. The farm has been a fixture in Gardiner since 1977 when Gary Bandy began buying and building in Gardiner. It’s been on the market for a few years now. The Bandy family began moving the trolls and similar features deeper into the acreage or taking them out entirely, moving away from a tourist spot toward more holiday/event rentals.

Olympic Medical Home Health has multiple reasons to celebrate Nationa l Home Care and Hospice Month this November, including the receipt of another Home Care Elite award. Olympic Medical Home Health also recently relocated its multiple business offices into consolidated space down the block at 1005 Georgiana St. in Port Angeles, and is hosting an open house from 3-5 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 19. “ We have been included in the HomeCare Elite since it started nine years ago and we are proud to earn recognition year after year,” said Joan Warren, director, Olympic Medical Home Health. “This recognition is a result of the fantastic, caring and experienced staff who is dedicated to providing quality services to our patients.” Olympic Medical Home Health provides nursing, physical, occupational, social work and home health aide ser v ic e s t hrou g hout Clallam and West Jefferson counties. Most recently, an experienced speech therapist joined the team. In addition to patient care, Olympic Medical Home Health has been busy in the past year, advocating at the state level to curb cuts to home health services in the state, while also stabilizing the financial viability of the service. “We have been serving more patients with complex and varied needs and we receive many wonderful comments from our patients about the care they received from our caregivers,” says Warren. “I am very pleased about our direction and look forward to our continued qualit y improvement work.”

Passersby still can stop in the parking lot and see the castle and a few other sites but public access is given to tour groups with reservations. Jeff Swegle, who has worked for Bandy in various roles on the farm, said physically the landscape hasn’t changed much over the years but there has been some remodeling and general maintenance.

The site supervisor said the Bandys continue to plant new trees and improve the landscape, which features several orchards, a few thousand trees, an acre of lavender, eight wells, solar and wind infrastructure, ponds and more. “I could go on and on,” the supervisor said. The biggest draw next to Sequim’s climate for poten-

tial buyers, Davidson said is the half-mile of Discovery Bay waterfront. “Where are you going to find that (amount of parcels) with a half-mile of waterfront?” she asked. Swegle said another draw is the privacy. “It’s a 100-plus acres and most of it is fenced,” he said. “It’s just a nice place to go and relax with massive amount of

fruit trees around.” Davidson said the property continues to draw a lot of interest. “It could be a gentleman’s farm, a holiday rental destination or put in as a development of sorts,” she said. “It really depends on what new owners would want.” For more information about Troll Haven, visit www. trollhaven.org.

From page A-1 existing Union Bank accounts belonging to decommissioned branches will be transferred to the Bainbridge location. While customers’ accounts can be transferred, the Sequim, Port Angeles, Port Townsend and Poulsbo branches employed 13 people. Of the 13 employees, three worked at the Sequim branch. “No one is out of a job today,” Gulick said. “Our goal is to retain that talent.” However, Gulick said, if no other positions are offered, those losing their job will be able to participate in the corporation’s “Separation Pay Program” that includes a job transition system. Within two to three years, Union Bank officials aspire to add branches throughout Washington and Oregon and plan to continue to invest in the region by doing so, Gulick said. Additionally, Union Bank officials will continue to enhance their online and mobile banking options.

Union Bank officials have decided to close all branches on the Olympic Peninsula. By the end of February 2015 the nearest Union Bank branch for Sequim customers will be located on Bainbridge Island. Sequim Gazette photo by Alana Linderoth

A sorority of sorts began about a year ago when three aestheticians, a massage therapist and a plastic surgeon came together with their independent practices to form West Bell Wellness at 376 W. Bell St. in Sequim. Their personalities and professions fit together like a glove and they are united in making their customers feel pampered and special. Each has retained her business’ name and include aesthetician Tonya Tweter, Skin Envy Day Spa; aesthetician Kathryn Pacelli, Sanctuary Day Spa; aesthetician Carol Dal Porto, Profiles Professional Skin Care; massage therapist Virginia Jefferson, LMP; and plastic surgeon Dr. Teri Burnett, Get Young. All are licensed in their fields. “We co-op together but all of us have specialties, which is good. When I wanted to downsize Sanctuary, I knew I wanted to be here. We all have great skills,” Pacelli said, to which Dal Porto added, “and we all get along fabulously. Between all of us, we have about 100 years of experience.” For the uninitiated, aestheticians deal with appearance issues and disorders related to the skin. • Kathryn Pacelli Pacelli has worked in the skin care industry since 1980 and has owned Sanctuary Day Spa and Wellness Center since 2006. “I was trained by plastic surgeons so I take a more medical approach to skin care in treating skin disorders and I blend my own products to fit the needs of clients. I treat acne, rosacea, skin tags, spider veins and sebaceous hyperplasia. I also write treatment protocols on skin care.” Reach

Sequim man caught, arraigned

Johnson appears in Clallam County Court Friday, Nov. 21, following his failure to register as a sex offender. Clallam County Sheriff’s Office issued a bench warrant, which led to his pursuit through Sequim and capture on Oct. 25. His bail is set at $150,000. Johnson also faces other charges including allegedly taking two motor vehicles and illegal possession of a firearm. Sheriff’s Office officials report Johnson rode as a passenger in a Subaru through Sequim before Sequim Police pulled the car over. Johnson allegedly took the vehicle once the driver stepped out at police officer’s request. At JOHNSON the intersection of Maple Street and Sequim Avenue, Johnson allegedly stopped and took a Mazda Miata at gunpoint with a shotgun. He continued onto U.S. Highway 101 and was eventually stopped near Discovery Bay. Prior, the Sheriff’s Office reported Johnson went missing into the woods off Palo Alto Road near Youngquist Road on Oct. 23. Johnson was convicted of rape of a child in the third degree in 2004 and for failing to register as a sex offender, and in 1997 for failing to register for a juvenile conviction of a 1995 child molestation in the first degree charge.

Ari Lee King, 41, of Sequim, was arrested on Nov. 12 and held in custody in Clallam County Jail on $1 million bail for the alleged second degree murder of Joyce woman Diane Cunningham, 65, on Oct. 6. His arraignment is scheduled for 9 a.m., Friday, Nov. 21, in Clallam County Superior Court. KING King was found living under a bridge with his dog in a remote area of central Oregon less than 20 miles from where Cunningham’s car was recovered in early October. The Malheur County Sheriff’s Office located and arrested King and he was transferred to Port Angeles on Nov. 14. Court documents state King allegedly killed Cunningham in her mobile home by bludgeoning her to death.

Gonzales may be sentenced Deeon Emilio Gonzales, 20, accused of aggravated first-degree assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly stabbing his exgirlfriend multiple times, goes to court today, Nov. 19, for tentative sentencing. Gonzales pled not guilty on Oct. 3 in Clal- GONZALES lam County Superior Court to allegedly pre-meditating to kill Britni Gallauher, 18, also of Carlsborg, with a knife on Sept. 20. He remains in jail on $100,000 bail. Court documents state Gallauher went to Gonzales’ residence to pick up their daughter when he came outside with their daughter in his arm while holding something behind his back and he brought the girl to Gallauher before allegedly stabbing her. Sheriff’s deputies report Gallauher fell on her back while holding the girl and Gonzales allegedly continued to stab her. She allegedly was stabbed five times — three times in the back, near

Johnson’s trial may move Defense Attorney Larry Freedman for Kenneth Scott Johnson, 35, seeks to move Johnson’s trial elsewhere following recent news coverage of his defendant’s involvement in a pursuit.

Salmon coalition gets key Clallam County grant The North Olympic Salmon Coalition recently was awarded a grant of $18,450 from the Benjamin N. Phillips Memorial Fund. The Benjamin N. Phillips Memorial Fund was established in 2006 by the estate of Joy Phillips to honor her late husband. The goal of the Memorial Fund is to make grants to nonprofit organizations improving the lives of Clallam County residents. About $250,000

is distributed annually, with grants ranging in size from $1,000-$25,000. “This funding will allow us to incor porate educational programs and volunteer opportunities into our largest season of tree-planting of our history,” said Sarah Doyle, Salmon Coalition stewardship coordinator. “We plan to plant 30,000 trees along the streams of the North Peninsula and we want to

provide the best possible experiences for our volunteer workers. This will make it possible for us to continue to help our neighbors connect with this land where we all live.” The 24-year-old nonprofit coalition, with headquarters in Port Hadlock and a field office in Port Angeles, focuses on salmon habitat restoration along the North Olympic Peninsula. It is one of 14 such Regional Fisheries

Enhancement Groups in the state covering territory from Hood Canal to Neah Bay. Known for its leadership in the ongoing recovery of Endangered Species Actlisted summer chum salmon on the northeast peninsula, the North Olympic Salmon Coalition balances technical habitat work with community fun, program officials say.

Organizers of two recent variety shows say the events went better than expected on Nov. 1 to help bring a vertical platform lift to the Dungeness Schoolhouse, 2781 Towne Road. More than a dozen performers sang and played the shows to raise $2,444.93 in a joint effort by the Museum & Arts Center in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley and Readers Theatre Plus to raise about

$22,000 to replace the schoolhouse’s chair lift with an enclosed lift. Performances ranged from singers and accordion players to Broadway tunes to barbershop quartets. Private tours of the schoolhouse and an antique car show went on before and in-between shows. Volunteer Shelley Taylor said prior to the show they received about $1,400 for the lift and Jim Dries with Readers Theatre Plus said group members received

Next chapter Fisher met Ann through AA and the duo began dating and eventually married. Following the changes of Proctor & Gamble, Fisher pursued his academic interests including a master’s degree at Cal State Long Beach and a doctorate at USC. Fisher has authored several books, all available online, such as “Granny May Have Been a Vampire,” “Genesis of Love” and “Around the World on a Metaphor.” Marcus said “The Big Casino” follows Fisher from diagnosis of Stage 4 cancer to death’s door.

Ann said, and two months later Fisher died. Marcus remembers Fisher telling a mutual writing group about his diagnosis. “One of the most remarkable things of his journey with cancer was that every month there were two writing group meetings and he would read and when his cough would get bad, he would pause and try and get control,” Marcus said. “The discipline and commitment to me was so memorable. He had a strength and a love for the writing that he would show up every month for the groups.” Fisher is remembered at a private memorial service on Nov. 22 and his book is available at Port Book & News and at online book dealers along with his other books.

Even in the end, Jim Fisher was writing. It was two days before his death that he submitted his last work “The Final Poem” for print, said Ruth Marcus, his friend and publishing partner. Fisher, a beloved Peninsula College English professor, writer, husband, father, grandfather and friend, asked Marcus to help complete his final book “The Big Casino: Posthumorous Poems.” M a rc u s s a id F i sh er e-mailed her the manuscript on Oct. 10 and he told her there was one more poem to come. Rereading his final poem, Marcus said, “It still gives me chills.” “The Big Casino” began after Fisher, 72, was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer on Oct. 13, 2013. “He wanted this book,” Ann Fisher, his wife said. “I think this is the book that kept him going.” Fisher died on Nov. 2 but he found a rejuvenation in Sequim, his wife said. Twenty-plus years ago they were living in Los Angeles, Calif., and after visiting Sequim they arrived back home to the breaking news of O.J. Simpson’s infamous highway chase. Ann said they still had the recent riots in the back of their minds, too, so they decided to move into their rental house in Sequim permanently. Fisher applied to teach at Peninsula College and Ann became a realtor. “The life here became what we wanted,” Ann said. “We just know that when we got it we didn’t want to leave it.” Prior, Fisher worked for 20 years in a Proctor & Gamble warehouse following a family tradition but Ann said he struggled there with alcoholism. He started pursuing teaching but determined it wouldn’t make enough

money to cover his family’s needs, so he went back to the warehouse. Ann said he hit rock bottom but found hope in an English seminar for the poet Edmund Spenser at Cal State Long Beach. “Jim fell in love with the writing,” Ann said. “So he decided that now he’s sober he decided to commit to college again.” Around that time, Proctor & Gamble announced the closure of its Long Beach plant, which allowed Fisher to go back to school. He was tasked to write his first book about the closure. “His whole world opened up in a different way,” Ann said. “I think Edmund Spenser changed his life. If it hadn’t been for the allegory about ‘The Faerie Queene’ that Jim loved he wouldn’t have had the pull or energy.” Fisher eventually became sober with help attending Alcoholics Anonymous. Five years into that his wife Diane Patterson died of cancer after a year of treatments. She and Jim have two daughters. “The Big Casino” includes one prose piece by Fisher for his granddaughter in Diane’s voice so that she could have an idea of her grandmother whom she never met.

Jane Yvonne (Knudsen) Martin September 28, 1923 - November 7, 2014

After a long fulfilling life, Jane Martin died peacefully at the age of 91 on the morning of November 7, 2014. She was born in Oakland, California and prided herself as being a third generation native Californian. She spent many years of her young adult life in San Jose where she graduated from San Jose State University with a teaching degree and met her husband, James Martin. Together, in the San Jose area, Santa Maria and Salinas they raised two sons and three daughters. Jane taught elementary school for many years and was involved with several ladies groups and organizations including Kappa Kappa Gamma, Minerva Club, P.E.O., as well as various P.T.A.’s and bridge clubs (though she was admittedly “not very good at the game”). She and Jim loved to golf and when retired, they enjoyed traveling about the U.S. to try their luck at different courses (though she was admittedly “not very good at the game”). Jane was a lady. She would see beauty in a leaf, twig or stone, often bringing the bit home and arranging it artfully for visitors to appreciate. The natural progression of this attraction was that while in her 50’s she began to explore the art of watercolor painting, acrylics and then lovely nature-themed collages. She also dabbled in oils (though she was admittedly “not very good at it”). Following her husband’s death in 1999, her desire to live closer to her grandchildren was realized and within a few years she moved to Sequim, Washington. There she spent 11 years waiting for the Mariners to win the World Series (admittedly they “weren’t very good at the game”) while surrounded by views of the Olympic Mountains, cherry blossoms and those who loved and cared for her. She is survived by her five children; Joanna Martin, Peter Martin, Susan Elder, Erin Huff and James Martin. Daughter-in-law Michelle Martin and son-in-laws; Eric Elder and Harold Huff. Jane is also survived by seven grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and extended family member Adrienne Williamson. A long life well lived and this writer thinks, Jane, you were very good at the game! A small service will be held at Sequim Community Church, November 29 at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions can be made to the Faith Foundation of Sequim Community Church or to Peninsula Friends of Animals.

Odds, ends from the editor’s desk Well, election season is, for the most part, in the books, and I think we call all breathe a sigh of relief and get back to what we think our traditional roles in politics should be: complaining. The old adage is, of course, “If you don’t vote, you can’t complain,” cleverly matched with the bumper sticker, “Hey, I voted for the other guy” bumper sticker. And the there’s George Carlin’s take: “I don’t think we should be governing ourselves. What we need is a king, and every now and then if the king’s not doing a good job, we kill him.” We sure saw plenty of change in the 2014 midterms on election day. Republicans locked down their largest congressional majorEditor’s ity since World War Corner II. CNN noted that Nov. 4 brought some Michael Dashiell other historic firsts: Tim Scott became the first African-American from the South elected to the Senate since Reconstruction. Mia Love became the first black Republican woman elected to Congress — ever. Tom Cotton from Arkansas’ 4th District became the first Iraq war and the first Afghanistan war veteran to be elected to the Senate. Shelley Moore Capito became the first woman elected to the Senate from West Virginia while Joni Ernst became the first woman to represent Iowa in either house of Congress — and the first female combat veteran ever elected to the Senate, according to the Washington Free Beacon. The number of women in Congress will reach 100 for the first time in U.S. history. Despite making history, just 36.3 percent of Americans cast ballots in the midterm election — the worst turnout in 72 years. In Washington, voters were a little less lethargic. The estimated 53.8 percent voter participation in our state was its lowest since 1978 — similarly an election in which no statewide public office was on the ballot. Clallam voters (I’m proud to say) made their voices heard a bit better, to the tune of 61.8 percent. Know how many counties in our state with at least 40,000 registered voters had that kind of turnout? One.: Island County, 62.75 percent. And Jefferson County saw more than 70 percent of its 22,000 residents get out the vote. Nice job, North Olympic Peninsula. I’m not sure we could get everyone in the nation (or our state, our county, or anything for that matter) to agree on any one thing, but we probably can agree that we can do better at getting our ballots to the elections centers, right? Even if it’s as hard as, say, mailing it in?

Speaking of guns … Back in 2012, I wrote an editorial about our glorification of a culture of violence, coming on the heels of a pair of double-homicides in Clallam County and a series of rather ugly, uber-violent incidents. I revisited the column again in recent days as further details emerged about two more ghastly events: the Oct. 24 shootings at Marysville-Pilchuck High School that left five people dead, a slaying in Port Orchard in which a suspect killed a woman and posted pictures on social media. “We are a culture that doesn’t explicitly abhor and shame the idea that violence is an appropriate response to problems,” I wrote then. “Tougher gun laws may help, but only to an extent.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Nature Mart a success

Despite the chilly weather Friday and Saturday visitors flocked to the Dungeness River Audubon Center’s 8th Holiday Nature Mart. They clearly had fun making wreaths, having their photos taken outdoors with the big brown bear and other River Center critters, and shopping. One was even seen riding her bike along Hendrickson carrying the wreath she had just purchased. Thanks to the 500-plus hardy shoppers, dozens of crafters and volunteers, the Sequim Rotary Club and the Gazette for helping make Nature Mart, Nov. 14-15, such a resounding success. Since all proceeds from Nature Mart go to support River Center education programs, we’re hoping to top the record $7,400 Nature Mart raised in 2013.

Speaking of voter initiatives … Washington gave a thumbs-up to Initiative 594, a measure that would require criminal background checks for those purchasing firearms at gun shows and online. The vote — which passed 59-41, inspired a gun rights group called Resolute for Arms and Liberty, organized by two Central Washington men, to declare they will openly violate “in every way possible” the initiative at a Dec. 13 demonstration on the State Capitol steps. So that should be exciting …

Sean, Kevin, Danielle and Katie Lynch celebrate after completing the Marine Corps Marathon. Submitted photo

Kathleen (Katie) McAleer Lynch, accompanied by her husband, Kevin, and children Sean and Danielle, returned to the U.S. from Daegu, South Korea, to participate in the Marine Corps Marathon late last month. For nearly seven years the Lynches have lived in Daegu, but will be stationed elsewhere by June. Although running in the marathon was a first for both Katie’s children and husband, who’s active-duty and an Iraq war veteran, it was Katie’s second time running in the marathon. Inspired by her past experience when she had run the marathon alongside her own father in 2002, Katie encouraged her family to travel from afar to run in the grueling event. Together the Lynch family ran the 26.2 miles – passing on the powerful and memorable experience Katie once shared with her own father.

“Sequim is our home away from home.

Kevin and I were married at St. Joseph’s in 1992. Both of our children were baptized there also. My parents, sister and brother and families and dear friends all live in Sequim so we have visited almost annually for 22 years. Sequim is the most beautiful place on earth and we’re proud to serve overseas to defend this town as well as the best country in the world, the United States of America. We chose to run the Marine Corps Marathon because it is one of the best events in the world – it invokes great pride in country, hope for the country’s future and athletes who are living life to its outer limits. My son is a senior in high school and will attend college next year. I’m sure I am not alone as a mother who realizes time is flying by. I wanted a family goal to bring us together and make a long-lasting memory. The kids created the four-month weekly training plan and we were off. Our first benchmark was to run a 13.1-miler by Aug. 16. Daegu, South Korea, is hot and muggy in the summer, so we started at 0430. We finished later that morning, but more importantly we were now confident that we could keep training one week at a time to our goal. You see, my dad, Mike McAleer, ran my first mile with me in fourth grade and then ran the Marine Corps Marathon with me in 2002. I wanted to give my children the same feeling of accomplishment and pride. The Marine Corps Marathon, in our nation’s capital, invokes absolute pride. As you run past Abraham Lincoln’s gaze, it’s hard not to feel humble; as you turn past the reflecting pool in front of the grand

SEQ

steps of Capitol building, you realize the reflecting pool was made to reflect the responsibility given to each American to uphold our constitution. I love to explain to foreigners our laws on civil rights and protections for the vulnerable. Our laws are generations ahead of many other countries. The Marines of all ranks line the course encouraging all the runners. It gives you hope for our country’s future, a hope that there are still those willing to die for the protections afforded to Americans that are enjoying them today. It makes you know that God has blessed our United States of America. The event also coincided with a birth of a new nephew, Colin McAleer, born to Bob and Kate McAleer who reside in Alexandria, Va. My kids were able to get a Senate tour by their uncle who is the chief army liaison to the Senate, a job coincidentally that my dad had in the late 1980s. For my mom and dad to be at the Senate again was a full-circle moment. By the way, we figured my mom and dad walked eight miles on the course, walking to different points to give us high fives – impressive. My sister, Molly McAleer Lowry, chief of personnel for the U.S. Marshal Service, also was on the course with her kids rooting us on and trying to make us stop for a videotaped interview. Running the marathon was different for me this time in that it wasn’t about me, but it was a hope for my family that they would feel what I had felt as well. I wanted so much for my children to do well and to feel the pride of our country and recognize all the symbols of the American flag, Capitol building, Smithsonian and hope they could take it all in and really remember this. When I saw my son at the very end of the course he was flat on his back and he said, ‘I did it Mom, I did it!’ and at that point I just wanted to break down and cry with pride. All in all, the Marine Corps Marathon was an amazing, pride-invoking event. The Lynch family flew back to South Korea with renewed energy and hope for our future.” Everyone has a story and now they have a place to tell it.

Net neutrality

From page A-10 to be in the news every other week, think twice about killing if they couldn’t use a gun? Sure, absolutely. But tougher access to guns likely won’t stop homicidal persons from killing. It would only curtail for some time the desire to take the life of another. And that’s the issue. The problem isn’t access to guns; it’s the desire to shoot someone and use the gun on one’s self … The greater, underlying issue is the culture of violence we embrace.” I guess we haven’t changed much. Measures like I-594 are well-meaning, I suppose, but we’re still really good at being two-faced about violence in our culture. It gets even more convoluted when we embrace a culture of celebrity. For some, it isn’t enough to end their own life, a tragedy at the outset. But it seems they are more than willing to take others along with them — such as Jaylen Fryberg at MarysvillePilchuck — or try to elevate to some sort of celebrity status — as in the case of David Kalac, the key suspect in the Port Orchard slaying. So what do we do? Surely there is no proverbial silver bullet, but perhaps we can take a lesson from what Malcolm Gladwell describes in his book “The Tipping Point” as the “Power of Context.” Gladwell writes, “Epidemics are sensitive to the conditions and circumstances of the times and places in which they occur.” His prime example is efforts to combat minor crimes like vandalism on the New York subway led to a decline in violent crimes citywide. Simply cleaning up graffiti and fixing broken windows led to a change in attitudes toward minor crimes in the culture and that led to bigger change.

Water, phone service, electricity … the Internet. The basic staples of life? La st week, President Obama called for the government to aggressively regulate Internet service providers Verizon and Comcast and the like, in essence treating broadband like a public utility. Obama is calling for the FCC to adopt stricter rules for ensuring so-called net neutrality, a principle that all Internet traffic should be treated equally. The FCC would have substantial power prohibiting carriers from blocking Web traffic or favoring some services over others. “I believe the FCC should create a new set of rules protecting net neutrality and ensuring that neither the cable company nor the phone company will be able to act as a gatekeeper, restricting what you can do or see online,” President Obama said in a statement. Understandably, cable and telecom firms are up in arms regarding the President’s comments. A statement sent out by Verizon noted the move would “threaten great harm to an open Internet, competition and innovation. That course will likely also face strong legal challenges and would likely not stand up in court.” Here’s a bit of irony in the whole mess: the U.S. has some of the highest basic broadband costs and among the slowest Internet speeds in the world. The price of basic broadband, TV and phone packages is much higher in American cities than elsewhere and the higher-speed connections run nearly three times as much as in the U.K. and France, and more than five times as much as in South Korea. Although there are several national companies, local markets tend to be dominated by just

one or two main providers, reports USA Today. Susan Crawford, a former special assistant to Obama on science, technology and innovation policy, told the newspaper that two-thirds of American customers get their broadband via their television cables because the DSL (digital subscriber line) service provided by phone companies over copper lines can’t compete with cable speeds, while wireless and satellite services are subject to low usage caps. And, while most of Europe and Asia invest in highspeed, high-capacity networks, the U.S.’s substandard Internet infrastructure makes connectivity not only slower but contributes to higher prices for subscribers. Two recent international studies (one by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development and another by the metrics service Ookla) put the U.S. at 23rd and 31st internationally, in measuring price-persecond of downloaded content. Globally, Ookla finds, the U.S. ranks 42nd with an average upload speed of 6.31 Mbps, behind such technological stalwarts as Lesotho, Belarus and Slovenia. Crawford told the BBC this: “We deregulated highspeed Internet access 10 years ago and since then we’ve seen enormous consolidation and monopolies … Left to their own devices, companies that supply Internet access will charge high prices, because they

We cannot give Mora back the years that were taken away from her or the pain that she continues to deal with. But we can try to spare others from suffering terrible, lifechanging injuries like hers. And to prevent more easily avoidable deaths from drowsy driving. Half of our mission is to promote drowsy driving awareness and prevention through education. In print, online and on television, we have warned about the dangers of drowsy driving. We have shouted about it from the rooftops and in our state Legislature’s House Judiciary Committee. But prevention and education goes only half way. For as with drunk driving 40 years ago and wearing seatbelts 20

Space rocks I guess it’s every child’s dream to look up at the moon, to gaze upon the stars … and think, “I wonder if I’ll ever get a chance drill into one of those passing hunks of dirt and ice that kind of flies around? Someday?” Well, that “someday” is now. In deploying a socalled Rosetta Spacecraft, European Space Agency scientists recently have managed to land a Philae probe on a comet — named 67P for those of you scoring at home — marking the the first-ever landing on a comet (see blogs.esa.int/rosetta). “Rosetta is trying to answer the very big questions about the history of our solar system,” Matt Taylor, ESA Rosetta project scientist, said in the article on ESA’s website. “What were the conditions like at its infancy and how did it evolve?

William Shaw is the regional publisher for the Bellevue Reporter, Issaquah-Sammamish Reporter, Mercer Island Reporter and Snoqualmie Valley Record.

What role did comets play in this evolution? How do comets work?” The probe, named Philae, is equipped with an array of experiments to photograph and test the surface of the comet as well as to find out what happens when the “roasting” effect of the sun drives off gas and dust. Daniel Brown, an astronomy expert at Nottingham Trent University in the United Kingdom, said, “Apart from the amazing scientific results, the sheer challenge and ambition of such a mission is outstanding and illustrates how our space exploration of the solar system has become more advanced and successful. It gives us much to hope for in future missions.” Said David Black, president and CEO at the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence SETI) institute, “The modern-day creators of the Rosetta mission hope its exploration will unlock comets — ancient nuclei of rock and ices that are keys to understanding the formation of our solar sys-

tem. Scientists also hope the mission will provide an insight into Earth’s earliest years. Comets bombarded the young Earth. Did they bring with them much of the water that still exists on our home planet, as well as the organic molecules that life needed in order to arise on Earth?” For those unimpressed with the significance of the Rosetta effort, Black asks you to consider future generations. “These things — engaging science teachers, iconic images of manned space missions on TV — inspire young people to thirst for knowledge of the universe around us and to enter into scientific fields of research and study. “ I believe that not only will the Rosetta mission help us understand where we come from and what our history is, but also help in inspiring a new generation to follow in the footsteps of Carl Sagan and Frank Drake.” Reach Sequim Gazette editor Michael Dashiell at editor@sequimgazette.com.

Defiantly, my mother said, “Well, we’ll just have to pray even harder!” • The disbelief and anger we felt when we were told by the Washington State Patrol trooper that the driver of the car Mora was a passenger in had been awake for more than 20 hours before she got behind the wheel.

Driving drowsy can be deadly

years ago, perceptions about and laws and penalties against drowsy driving need to be changed. If a person gets behind the wheel of a car that has not slept for 20-24 hours and causes an injury or death, there should be serious consequences to their actions and added teeth to the current reckless driving laws. Before others are injured or killed by drowsy drivers, we urge our legislators to seriously look at tougher penalties and fines if a driver causes injury of death after falling asleep while behind the wheel of a car. Mora has miraculously defied all the medical odds and is living her amazing life. But others have not been so “lucky.” If one person getting behind the wheel of a car thought first and took a nap, Mora’s life and many others like her would have been different. Others lives would have been saved. Years later, as our governor proclaims Washington State Drowsy Driving Prevention Week, the Shaw family will continue to make noise about drowsy driving and its consequences. And we will never forget.

Foundation awards six teacher grants SEF funds nearly $9,000 to boost classroom projects Sequim Gazette staff

Sequim teachers got some help for special projects Monday night, as the Sequim Education Foundation announced its fall 2014 grants totaling a little less than $9,000. Recipients awarded funding were: • Allison Hastings, Steve Koehler, David McInnes, Shannon Paselk, Paul Pinza, Debbie Quinnell, Tracelene Williams and Isabella

The bond also would include a major renovation

superintendent Kelly Shea said Monday. A grant review committee on Nov. 12 considered eight proposals written by 18 teachers.

“You can’t learn if you’re hungry,” O’Neil told the board. “So often, districts have to be reactive rather than proactive. This is your chance (to be proactive).” District custodian Rick Osborn urged the board to keep the Helen Haller Elementary School renovations in the plan, with just two small bathrooms in Haller’s A building being inadequate to handle an influx of all-day kindergarten students in the 2015-2016 school year.

SARC on board, too On the same day voters consider the school bond, they’ll also be asked to consider a 12 cents per $1,000 valuation levy for the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center, a junior taxing district that hasn’t received public funding in more than a decade. SARC board president Frank Pickering said he’s pleased to see both measures on the same ballot. “I see it as a very good thing,” Pickering said. “We are committed to helping the school district wherever we can. We are the home of the PICKERING Wolves.” SARC hosts Sequim High School’s boys’ and girls’ swim teams in the fall and winter. Pickering noted that SARC director Scott Deschenes has instituted several youth- and family-oriented programs in recent months. Pickering said he’s hopeful voters will approve both issues in February. “Personally I think it’s a very reasonable number,” he said. “For us it’s make or break — there’s no question,” Pickering said, stating SARC will be able to fulfill its legal

obligation to have a balanced budget for 2015 and 2016 — but, with revenues staying static — not in 2017. “Something major would have to happen (to have a balanced budget),” Pickering said. Voters in Port Angeles will be considering a $98 million bond package to rebuild most of Port Angeles High School, also set for a Feb. 10 election day.

Selling the school plan If the Sequim School District’s bond passes, the district would start collecting funds in 2016. Those bonds would sell in two phases, district business manager Brian Lewis said, with one in June 2015 and another in January 2016. On Monday he detailed a tax rate that indicates Sequim resident would be paying about $2.22 per $1,000 of assessed valuation — or $222 for those owning $100,000 worth of property — in 2016, if the bond were to earn approval. That’s less than what taxpayers were paying in 2013 ($2.30 per $1,000). A new elementary school takes about two-and-a-half years to build, Bridge said. Jim Stoffer, who between the Monday school board meeting’s start and end was selected chair of Citizens for Sequim Schools, the organization dedicated to promoting school district bond and levy proposals, said he likes what he heard from the board. “I think this is a better package,” Stoffer said. “Our teachers and kids deserve it,” he said. “We’re ready to go.” For more information about Citizens for Sequim Schools, call 775-9356 or see www.facebook.com/CitizensForSequimSchools.

National lab celebrates 50 years Sequim facility is ‘absolutely critical to the future of PNNL’ by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

As the sole marine research laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy, the staff at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Marine Sciences Laboratory in Sequim celebrated five decades of ongoing science and research last week. Although the Marine Sciences Laboratory wasn’t incorporated into PNNL until 1974, PNNL was established in 1965 – thus marking the national lab’s 50th anniversary. To celebrate the years of collaboration between PNNL staff at the lab’s headquarters in Richland and staff at the marine lab, a celebratory lunch was held Wednesday, Nov. 12, and both PNNL director Mike Kluse and Julie Erickson, representing the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest Site Office, which oversees PNNL, visited the Sequimbased facility. “The Marine Sciences Laboratory in Sequim is essential to PNNL’s strategy to perform the cutting edge science that PNNL is known for and increase its impact to the nation,” Erickson said. As DOE’s only marine research laboratory, we recognize the Marine Science Laboratory as an important asset to DOE and the nation.” Located along Sequim Bay, the Battelle-owned property since offers a small amount of beach access and about 140 acres of tidelands and Travis Spit. Originally, officials with Battelle bought property in all four corners of the U.S. in order to

best foster their mission of “science for the benefit of mankind,” Brandt said. Battelle officials bought the property near Sequim Bay in 1966, and the facility became a working laboratory by 1969. Although Brandt is not sure why Battelle officials were drawn to the Sequim area, the area’s unique characteristics have been a benefit. Both the “incredible” air quality and bay’s water chemistry being so similar to the Strait of Juan de Fuca help to make the lab an ideal location for sensitive research, such as “ultratrace chemistry” studies where researchers are identifying elements at very low levels, he said. “For many different reasons there is a lot of chemistry that goes on here and we take advantage of the area’s characteristics,” Brandt said.

“We don’t have to build a multimillion dollar facility to create a clean environment to do research because it’s already here.” Neither the lab in Richland nor the Marine Science Laboratory are doing what they were doing a decade ago – reflecting the constant evolution of PNNL. The function of a national lab is to address national needs, Brandt said, and those needs change. Although PNNL staff still are involved in nuclear energy and waste research that persists from the lab’s ongoing interaction with the past nuclear production complex in Hanford, the lab’s attention is spread across a wide spectrum of national topics. Additional areas of interest include a growing emphasis on climate change research, renewable en-

CORRECTIONS All proceeds from purchases at Nature Mart support the Dungeness River Audubon Center’s educational programs. An article in the Nov. 12 edition of the Sequim Gazette (“River center to host its annual Nature Mart,” page B-1) incorrectly stated a portion of proceeds go toward the center’s educational programs. The City of Sequim has 884 residents with concealed weapons permits issued in the last five years of its 6,910 residents (current population from April 2014) totaling about 12.8 percent of residents. In a Nov. 12 Sequim Gazette story (“Law enforcement talks next steps for I-594” page A-1), the total was incorrect.

The Sequim Community Tennis Fund (SCTF) is a new local charitable organization that seeks to promote and foster the game of tennis for the people of the Sequim Dungeness Valley. Our purpose description is “to accept donations through bank deposits for the purpose of distributing money to the City of Sequim to build and maintain public tennis courts in the City of Sequim and to promote and help support youth tennis programs at City of Sequim public tennis courts.” Our goal is to locate (the) (a) tennis facility at Carrie Blake Park.

It is also our goal to offer periodic free tennis lessons and clinics for our children, teenagers, and young adults as well as support programs for adults and seniors. We aspire to ultimately have sanctioned United States Tennis Association tournaments in Sequim. We believe these tennis tournaments will attract visitors to the area and will bring spending into our local businesses.

ing’s potential impacts to a region’s agriculture, recreation, water resources and salmon stocks. “We always cut across all disciplines,” Brandt said. “Bringing together a multi-disciplinary approach enables this lab to have the impact that it does.” In order to operate the Marine Sciences Laboratory it requires the employment of about 70 people in Sequim, 12 people in Seattle, one person in Oregon and one person in Washington, D.C. In addition to the lab’s economic impact on Sequim through job creation, Brandt said, one of the lab’s biggest roles within the community is education. Though it’s a fairly restrictive program, the lab offers high school internships and also hires a large amount of locals that have returned after completing their education elsewhere or are in the midsts of it. “I am extremely proud of the exceptional staff at the Marine Sciences Laboratory and the impact that they are making day in and day out on the challenges facing our nation,” Kluse said. “The Marine Sciences Laboratory in Sequim is absolutely critical to the future of PNNL. It is a unique and valuable resource and its staff are an integral part of our team.”

The SCTF needs your help. Donations can be made at First Federal Bank, a local bank with two locations in Sequim. Deposits are made to SCTF or Sequim Community Tennis Fund. Three local residents involved in tennis; Justine Wagner (the Sequim High School Tennis Coach), Don Thomas (a United States Tennis Association Teaching Professional) and Terry Parks (a competing amateur tennis player) are the only individuals that are authorized to make withdrawals from this account.

The Christmas story through cantata Peninsula Singers offer ‘Hodie’ Sunday Sequim Gazette staff

The Peninsula Singers are upping the ante for their upcoming Christmas program. On Sunday, Nov. 23, the singers present “Hodie” (This Day) by Ralph Vaughan Williams at 2 p.m. in the Port Angeles High School Auditorium, 304 E. Park Ave. Maestro Dewey Ehling says for his 26th year conducting, “Hodie” is “one of the most demanding pieces they’ve performed” up there with past performances of “St. Matthew Passion” and “B Minor Mass” by Bach and the complete “Messiah” by Handel. It’s presented in two parts with the first named “Nowell” by Ehling, which comes from the Latin text in the Prologue of the Christmas cantata of “Hodie.” The second half presents “Hodie” with orchestration by the Port

Soloist Trent Pomeroy works with conductor Dewey Ehling on the song “Hymn” for the Peninsula Singers’ Nov. 23 performance at Port Angeles High School Auditorium. Sequim Gazette photo by Matthew Nash

Townsend Community Orchestra, which Ehling also conducts. Ehling first conducted the work about 40 years ago. “I’ve never forgotten the beauty of the music and the text,” he said. “I just haven’t had the goods to do it again. It’s a very difficult piece.” The whole program will be sung

in English except for the Latin text in the “Prologue” in “Hodie” and audience members will receive a copy of the text to follow along with the music. “One of the most inspiring pieces in the cantata is ‘The March of the Three Kings,’” Ehling said. “It includes much fanfare and descrip-

tion of kings and the gifts they bring to the King of Kings.” To add to the dynamism of the work, Ehling said the chorus and orchestra combine to shout “Crowning the skies the star of morning, star of dayspring calls, lighting the stable and the broken walls where the Prince lies.” They’ll also shout “He shall be great and shall be called the son of the Highest, Emmanuel, God with us!” Peninsula Singers features 43 singers and the orchestra is a full symphony with 45 players. The singers also will present “Fantasia on Christmas Carols,” sung by baritone Joel Yelland and chorus, and “Gloria” and “Sleep, Holy Infant, Sleep” from Dave Brubeck’s “La Fiesta de la Posada.” Ehling said the first half closes with Alfred Burt’s series of Christmas cards in musical form. Soloists for the show include soprano Linda Grubb, tenor Trent Pomeroy, baritone Joel Yelland, soprano Leona Voss and soprano Jaie

But as conductor Dewey Ehling began the song with 40-plus singers standing, Feibus continued to sit with his head back in the front row. “I was out of it,” Feibus said. “I don’t remember any of it.”

In southern Arizona, there’s a rest stop in the Patagonia highlands. It’s a small rest stop, only one picnic table. And around this picnic table is a conglomerate of trees, shrubs, brush and open grassy areas. On a hot day, the place holds repast for a traveler. But once upon a time while sitting at the table eating a PBJ, a birder saw a bird. And this bird turned out to be a local pheromone — a bird so rare it made Rare Bird Alerts throughout North America. Birders from 17 states and a half-dozen other countries flocked to see this bird. And while there trying to relocate the rarity, they found another one – a bird almost as rare as the first. And then what happened? It happened again. Over and over, over time. This became known as the Patagonia Picnic Table Effect! A phrase well-coined, a phrase most birders know for what it means. This brings this tale to Neah Bay where I’m putting it simply by saying a candy store was opened. It opened a couple weeks ago when a bird so rare to North America that rare almost has to be redefined. This is a tale about that bird, yes … but it’s also about the candy store (of birds) that is Neah Bay at this time of the year. It started with five birders: Ryan S., Brad W., Steve M., Charlie W. and Ryan M. … five of the top field birders in this state or for that matter in North America. They’re the ones who opened the door and invited the masses in. In my mind’s eye, this is how it may have happened. These five, on a whirlwind outing across the north face of the peninsula, started at Dungeness Landing where they tallied more than 40 species to their eBird checklists. Among these were x23 canvasback (ducks). Canvasbacks in the county are a code 3 bird. (A quick digression here: Codes refer to rarity. A code 3 bird is one found most every year but few in numbers; a code 4 bird is one that makes your legs wobble and a code 5 bird leaves you speechless and flat-out giddy.) Finding x23 canvasbacks raised eyebrows with the local birders … but it also keyed in the fact that these five were out-and-about birding and eBird checklists posted online would be monitored closely for what they would find. And find they

Choral director is next PA Symphony conductor candidate The Port Angeles Symphony will have its Christmas concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13, at the Port Angeles High School Auditorium, 304 E. Park Ave., Port Angeles, featuring conductor candidate Richard Sparks. Tickets are $30 and $20 for reserved seating; $15 and $12 (seniors) for gener a l seating.

meadowlark, both type 3 and 10 red crossbills, three wren species, several more peregrine falcons, and two more northern pygmy owls.

Start from the start

Candy store treat

Let me start from the beginning as to how I envisioned their day unfolding as they walked down to Cape Flattery to look-see out toward Tatoosh Island and the open ocean. ‘“Kittiwakes!” Not just one, but they ticked x75 of these small northern gulls. From out in the ocean wing-sailing over waves came sooty, pink-footed and short-tailed shearwaters. On the water they tallied almost 2,000 surf scoters and more than a thousand white-winged scoters. Oh, and one black scoter — make a hat trick on scoters! A bobble on the water at best and as small as a sparrow, Cassin’s auklets were found everywhere they looked. Another small white gull in winter plumage, Boneys, flicked past them. And the other gulls? How about 5,000 California, another 5,000 Olympic and a scattered few hundreds of Mew, Heermann’s and glaucous-wings. And the loons? Commons (x50) and red throats, over 200. But imagine counting 4,700 Pacifics out there. That’s what they did. Another good open pelagic bird seen from the platform were five northern fulmars. And way out there, not sure which it was — a Pomarine or Parasitic — a single jaeger was seen. There were hundreds of cormorants with black oystercatchers on the rocks below the platform. A couple of brown pelicans flew past. Not to be outdone by seabirds, three peregrine falcons made their list, also. Back at the top of the trail and down the road a bit, a northern pygmy owl put in an appearance. Then, so did another. And then, overhead, giving its weak flight call, a snow bunting was winging south — a wintering

The valley’s treasures

Heading south, the Wa’atch River Valley summoned them. During the next three hours they tallied 66 species. But it was what they ticked that opened the doors to the candy store. White-fronted geese, cackling geese of the Aleutian, Taverner’s and minima subspecies, and Canada of the Fulva and Moffitti subspecies. Wigeons, mallards, shovelers, pintails, teal and then a vega herring gull was found — a gull usually limited to the Bering Sea. A difficult bird to ID, but a good bird! The second incredible gull found was out on Hobuck Beach at the mouth of the river. An immature slaty-backed gull wandering among all the other gulls. A county code 5! And then came the sparrows: chipping, a single clay-colored (code 5), Savannah, fox, song, Lincoln’s, golden-crowned, dark-eyed junco with one of them a slate-colored subspecies, and six swamps – a righteous code 4 bird. But the frosting was the single grasshopper sparrow (code 5) found along Makah Passage in almost the same place as the county’s first was found two years ago by the same Ryan S. — a bird only one other birder saw. An incredible fluff of feathers all tannish and dull. There was one more sparrow-like bird found, but a name wasn’t given to it except as a possibility. It was just too rare: As Charlie W. wrote, “(It’s) sandy brown above with a short tail, whitish edging to tail, broad wings that tapered, body seemed somewhat bulky.” The possible name? Sky lark. They used to be found in the county a long time ago, but not since the 1990s though. And there were other birds ticked to their lists that day: western

Even though they’d seen some incredible birds, rare birds, these weren’t the birds that opened the doors to the candy store. These weren’t the birds that were to bring over 500 birders from 28 states and six other countries to the extreme northwest landform of the lower 48. No, these weren’t that bird. That bird was a falcon, a small falcon, an insect-eating falcon. A falcon whose swiftness put to shame a kestrel’s flight, rivaled a merlin’s and outflew a peregrine’s in sleekness, grace and beauty. A falcon slate-grey over its back, harboring a white cheek patch and a deep slate colored helmet, facial markings and mustache. A white eyestripe. And under its tail and its leggings rusty in color. A bird found only four times before in North America outside Alaska. And this sighting became the fifth. Charlie W. saw it first, but the other four were on it like … In flight it was easily seen to be different. Once it settled onto a perch, they knew they had something good. Something beyond good! Something the birding world would talk about on cell phones, over the Internet, give chase to, ogle over, bemoan when not seen, gleefully danced about when found. A bird so rare, that rare has no synonym worthy of being bandied here. The falcon? A Eurasian hobby! And this falcon opened the doors to the candy store and the phenomenon known as the Patagonia Picnic Table Effect was about to take place in Neah Bay!

did, birds of such exceptional rarity that it started the masses moving … moving toward the candy store that is Neah Bay. Neah Bay is at the tip of the peninsula; it’s touted as the most northerly point in the lower 48 states. And it is. But in the birding world, come late October and early November, Neah Bay is a migrant trap — a place where off-course, misdirected, out-of-sync migrating birds often end up for whatever reason. It’s basic geographic and geologic features funnel birds into the Wa’atch Valley, along Hobuck and Makah beaches, off the tip at Cape Flattery, over Mount Bohokus and onto the bay and surrounding land bird here, and not one found very often. Fifty species made their eBird forms. It’s an ideal picnic table. It’s a candy checklist at the Cape. store.

From page B-1 shock his heart but he was unresponsive until he was given an injection. It was enough to bring him back. “Even in the best of situations, you only have about a 30-percent chance of someone getting through a heart attack with CPR,” Messerschmidt Morgan said. But Messerschmidt Morgan and fellow singers and paramedics’ quick responses revived him enough so they could transport him to Olympic Memorial Hospital and eventually airlift him to Swedish Medical Center in Seattle for treatment. Unfortunately, Feibus had another cardiac arrest in

Seattle but he survived. Ehling said everyone was shaken up by Feibus’ incident. “He is so sweet and is a very wonderful person,” he said. “We were only thinking of him. We cancelled rehearsals for about a week or more. The performance was several weeks later.” But “his brain and sense of humor is intact,” Messerschmidt Morgan said. Feibus, a retired music educator, spent months in recovery and says he’s still recovering today. However with some lifestyle changes, he’s continuing to sing with the Peninsula Singers, play trumpet with the Peninsula College Jazz Band and the Olympic Express Big Band and giving some private lessons. “I’m going strong, more than I want at times, but everyday is a gift,” he said.

Messerschmidt Morgan said Feibus’ story shows the importance of everyone knowing CPR. “I owe the Peninsula Singers my life,” he said. “Had I been somewhere else like the car or anywhere except there I wouldn’t be here.” Following the heart attacks, Feibus said he doesn’t take himself as seriously as he once did. “It changed my whole outlook.” His next gig is the Peninsula Singers’ Christmas concert Nov. 23 at Port Angeles High School Auditorium singing “Hodie.” “It’s very, very difficult work,” he said. “Everyone is having to practice a lot. It’s the most difficult body of work I’ve ever had to sing, but it’s so beautiful and great.”

When her father took her and siblings to a summer rowing camp last year, Elise Beuke recalls, the general feeling in the family was that her brother Blaise would be the rower. Instead it was Elise, now a senior at Sequim High School, that truly took to the water.

Beuke put that initial interest into practice with the Olympic Peninsula Rowing Association, competing on her own or with Port Angeles youth Aubree Officer in events across the region. Now she has a chance to row with some of the top collegiate athletes in the nation and don purple and gold. On Nov. 14, Beuke signed a letter of intent to row crew for the University of Wash-

ington, where she’ll be on a partial scholarship. “I really like the school. I really like Seattle. I love the atmosphere … and the quality of education I’m going to get,” Beuke said Friday morning, as classmates and family gathered to celebrate her decision. The scholarship pays for 52 percent of her school expenses, Beuke said, and that could increase if she excels in the crew program. Beuke said UW’s crew officials are taking a chance on

Sequim swims to best showing since 2007 Coach hopes to build on successes in 2015 season Peninsula goes head-to-head with Lane in the NWAC semifinals on Nov. 15 in Tukwila.

Pirates settle for second Everett edges Peninsula in final as P.C. comes up short in bid for three-peat by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

Peninsula’s record-setting defense simply dominated in 2014, giving up just four goals in 23 games and more than 2,000 minutes of play. Unfortunately for the Pirates, Everett got the one that decides a champion. Freshman midfielder Alma Manao broke a scoreless tie in the 80th minute of Sunday’s NWAC championship match at Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila, sending Everett home with a crown and ending Peninsula’s dream of a third consecutive conference championship. Everett freshman forward Lauren Allison, who was named tournament MVP, helped keep the pressure on P.C.’s defense throughout much of the second half, as P.C. goalkeeper Emily Flinn looked to keep the game scoreless. Manao got the game-winner from about 18 yards, just outside the box, to stun the defending champs and give Everett (15-1-1 in conference play, 20-2-1) its first women’s soccer title. P.C. earned a spot in the finals by edging Lane in the semis, getting an overtime goal from Tasha Inong.

Lane goalkeeper Erica Cogburn can only watch as a shot by P.C.’s Tasha Inong rips the net for the game-winners in a Nov. 15 semifinal matchup.

For Peninsula (15-1-2 in conference play, 19-2-2 overall), it was their fourth consecutive final in the NWAC, a conference of 26 college soccer teams from Washington and Oregon. In just their second year of existence, P.C. finished second in 2011 before titles in 2012 and last season. The Pirates finished 2014 with their fourth straight West championship and a No. 4 ranking in latest National Soccer Coaches

Association of America Junior College Division I National Poll — the highest national ranking any Peninsula College sports team has ever earned. Peninsula outscored opponents 80-4 with 19 shutouts and had six players named to NWAC All-Star Team. On the men’s side, Highline — a longtime Peninsula rival in the NWAC West Division — topped North Idaho 3-0 in the championship match.

Sequim swimmers keep upping their ranks at the state level. Two girls scored higher than last year while a relay team with plenty of individual talent provided a lot of hope for the Wolves in the future on Nov. 14-15 in the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. Seniors Dani Barrow and Emily Van Dyken went up in the rankings from last year with both girls finishing 22nd overall in 2013. This year, Barrow swam a 2:28.65 preliminary time to qualify for the second day of events. She swam a 2:26.66 finals to finish 15th. Her season’s best was two weeks ago at districts (2:24.47) but she improved greatly on last year’s state swim going 2:35.81 in the preliminaries. “She’s happy and disappointed,” head coach Anita Benitez said. “She wanted to get better than a 2:24 but she couldn’t top her districts time. It’s a really cold pool for everyone.” Van Dyken dove to finish 20th scoring 101.20 in the preliminaries and 149.15 in the semifinals. Last year she failed to make the first cut scoring 93.35. The 200 medley relay of Barrow, Jessica Craig, Sydnee Linnane and Victoria Fitzpatrick finished 22nd with a time of 2:11.79, just over 3 seconds off their best time of the season. Linnane, a freshman, swam the 100 backstroke for a 19th place finish at 109.59, which was 0.21 of a second off her best season’s time. Barrow, who qualified for all swimming events at districts, took 21st in the 500 freestyle swimming 6:02.68, about 5 seconds off her season’s best.

Bodystrong pair earn black belts Sequim Gazette staff

On Oct. 25, two Bodystrong Tae-kwondo assistant instructors tested for — and were promoted to — ranks of black belt. Craig Fahrenholtz, 54, tested for his third degree black belt and Troy Phipps, 34, tested for his first degree. About 15 Bodystrong students travelled to Clark County to attend a seminar under grand master Renee Sereff, the highest-ranking female in the world. Before the seminar, a black belt testing of 11 students from the Northwest region was conducted by Sereff. Black belt tests consist of four aspects: patterns, sparring, breaking and a written knowledge test. Fahrenholtz and Phipps have been training at the Bodystrong Academy for about five years and are assistant instructors at the academy. Phipps also teaches a “Little Ninjas” class at the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center in Sequim.

The North Olympic Library System has partnered with the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center in Sequim to make two free passes available for checkout beginning Nov. 3. Whether alone or with the entire family, SARC passes give library card holders a free, fun and easy way to test the waters and stay active. Two passes means borrowers have two ways to enjoy SARC. One pass is for individuals who’d like to try one of the many fitness classes offered at SARC — from Tai Chi to water aerobics. The second pass grants up to six household members access to workout, cardio and weight rooms, in addition to open swim and family fun night. Patrons may borrow each pass for up to one week. Passes are valid only at SARC; there are also passes available for the William Shore Pool in Port Angeles. Neither pass includes swimming lessons. To place a hold request, visit www.nols.org and use the online catalog to search for “SARC Pool Pass.” Hold requests also may be made by calling the library or visiting any library in Clallam County. For more information about the pool, visit www. sarcfitness.com or follow the pool on Facebook and Twitter. The pool offers lap swim and open swim sessions, family fun nights, aerobics classes, and occasional special events. For more information about NOLS pool passes and other nontraditional events, call Technical Services Manager Erin Shield at 417-8500 ext. 7724.

Sequim youth hoops seasons on tap Sequim Gazette staff

The Sequim Youth Basketball Program is gearing up for its 11th season. The program is open to boys and girls in grades 1-6. Players receive a team shirt, weekly practice/skill development sessions and up to eight games. This year, league officials are doing the evaluation/registration sessions by gender, in grades 3-6; for players in grades 1-2, registration is in coed format. To register, complete a form (at issuu.com/sequimgazette/docs/

syb_registration_form_14-15 or call league officials below) and bring it to one of the registration/ evaluation sessions listed below. Players who cannot attend any of the sessions may mail a form (to Sequim Youth Basketball, P.O. Box 3395 Sequim, WA 98382) and fee by Dec. 13.

Evaluations At two sessions for Saturday, Dec. 6, and Saturday, Dec. 13, league officials conduct a brief evaluation of each player to determine skill levels in an effort to divide teams as evenly

as possible. Evaluation will be combination of skill stations and a controlled scrimmage. The process may take up to 90 minutes. Dec. 6 and Dec. 13 schedules are: • 9 a.m. — Boys in grades 5-6, Sequim High School gym • 9 a.m. — Boys in grades 3-4, Sequim Middle School gym • 11 a.m. — Girls in grades 5-6, Sequim High School gym • 11 a.m. — Girls in grades 3-4, Sequim Middle School gym • 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. — Boys, girls in grades 1-2, Sequim Middle School auxiliary gym

Fees

Registration is $45 per player with a maximum of $100 per family. If you have or know of a family in need of financial assistance, call Larry Hill at 683-7093.

Games, volunteering

League games will be held on Saturdays starting in January and wrapping up the season by the third week in February. Players in grades 3-6 will have one skills practice per week with Sequim High players and coaches. Teams will be established by

the program’s evaluation team. League officials hope to have team rosters established and coaches assigned by Dec. 20. They provide the coaches with equipment, practice and game schedules as soon as possible. Those interested in sponsoring a team, coaching, officiating or volunteering in some other capacity, contact league officials (below). For more information, call Sequim Youth Basketball president Art Green at 681-3252 or league director Larry Hill at 683-7093, or e-mail Hill at lhill@olypen.com.

Wolves earn split to start season Sequim Gazette staff

Beuke

From page B-5 a young rower because of her athleticism. “They see I have a lot of potential,” she said. “The thing I’m really good at is the physicality (of rowing).” At the university, Beuke will transition from smaller (single and double) boats to eight-person crews. The Sequim youth said she’ll have a full slate of morning and afternoon practices in the fall, workouts in the winter and then back to morning and afternoon practices during

racing season in the spring. Next fall Beuke enters a program with a deep history and some of the top young rowers in the U.S. At the end of the 2014 crew season, Washington’s program was ranked No. 6 in the nation and third in the West Region, behind Stanford and California. Beuke said she never expected to earn a scholarship from rowing. “It’s a big deal for our rowing program,” John Halberg, president of the Olympic Peninsula Rowing Association, said. The association has athletes of various ages training and competing, from as

young as preteens to rowers into their 70s. Halberg said one of the group’s goals is to invest into the sport’s next generations. Beuke’s coach is Rodrigo Rodriguez, an instructor with several years of crew experience who trains rowers on the finer points of form and pacing as they train from the association’s headquarters on Port Angeles’ Ediz Hook. Beuke, who has joined up with Officer for several competitions in recent months, said of her partner, “I didn’t think I’d find such a close friend out of rowing.” See www.oprarowing.org.

Storm King’s Lightning suffers rare loss The Storm King Lightning BU11 soccer squad gave up four goals for the first time in suffering their first loss of the season, a 4-3 defeat in Shoreline on Saturday to Seattle

United West. Ethan Knight led the Lightning offensively with a goal and an assist. Kristian Mingoy and Harrison Bell also scored, while Israel Gonzalez and

goalkeeper Tyler Lawson had an assist each. Despite the loss, the Lighting are still on top of the BU11 North Puget Sound League standings at 9-1-1 with one

game remaining. The Lighting can win the league title with a victory at the Albert Haller Playfields in Sequim on Nov. 22 as they take on Bainbridge.

Sequim’s Wolves kicked off the winter sports season with the toughest opponent they could schedule: the state champs from Bremerton. Though the Knights topped Sequim 5-2 in Bremerton on Nov. 12, Sequim racked up its highest scoring game in two years in knocking off the Knights 740-644 in the first game. Bremerton swept game two (738-578) and swept the Baker-format games. “We came out swinging,” Sequim coach Randy Perry said. Dakota Henderson led the way for Sequim with a two-game total of 326 pins, a match high. Her 211 mark in the first game was a personal best. Amanda Campbell had a teamhigh 158-pin finish in game two and totaled 313 for the match. Kaitlyn Jackson was third on the team with 261 pins. “Not a bad way to start considering we have not had a practice yet,” Perry said. Megan Wittenberg led Bremerton with a 324-pin match. Sequim (1-1) tallied its first win on the season with a 7-0 whitewashing of North Mason on Nov. 13, besting the Bulldogs on the Wolves’ “home” venue at Laurel Lanes in Port Angeles. No details were available at press time. The Wolves were scheduled to take on Klahowya on Nov. 18. Sequim is at North Mason on Nov. 25.

HELEN HALLER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Tami Wall’s third-graders have much to say about the joyful parts of their school day: In third grade I enjoy learning because every day we learn something new and some stuff is so amazing I just want to know more. So that is why I like learning. Mark Dawson I like lunch because we get to eat and we get to talk to friends, but we also have to use a number one or number two voice. If we don’t, everyone has to be quiet and that is why HERNANDEZ I like lunch. Ricardo Hernandez I like writing in third grade because we get to write about anything we want and we get a lot of time to write. Joy Munyagi I love my friends in third grade because they are really amazing. They are nice, friendly and they are awesome. Almost every day we take turns picking a game at recess. We all have fun together when we are with each other. Kika Oldham I enjoy math in third grade because I learn more and more each day. I love math because it is fun and wonderful and amazing! (But only if you understand it, like I do!) Annella Smith In third grade, I enjoy the module 2 math book because there is a lot of new learning like line plots, time and measurement. Division and multiplication was in module 1. Jacob Oliver

What’s a parent to do? Raising children isn’t an easy job. There is a lot of work involved and not a lot of thank-yous to go with it. It can be frustrating to say the same things over and over and still not have your child do what you want her to do. You even can use restrictions or have consequences when things aren’t going the way you want them to go and it still may not work. So what is a parent to do? If asking, scolding, yelling and punishing don’t work, you need to try another tactic. Try praising. Change how you interact with her. If most of your interactions with her are about things you are unhappy with, she will soon try to avoid you altogether. Anyone who is at all smart will avoid someone who is always unhappy with them. Make sure you spend time letting her know you are pleased with her. That doesn’t mean you have to like everything she does, it just means you need to look for the things she does that you do like. Let her know when you are happy with what she has done. You can let

Parenting Matters Cynthia Martin

her know you are pleased by giving her a high five, a smile or a hug. Let her see your enthusiasm with what she has done and be specific. It helps to say, “Great job putting your dishes into the dishwasher!” is better and works better than just saying, “Great job!” Don’t encourage her to be disobedient by giving it a lot of attention. If you focus on defiance, it actually may increase the very behavior you don’t like. Try actually walking away from her behavior when it is annoying. Even walking away sends her the message that her annoying behavior doesn’t work. Instead of getting angry, stay calm.

This will help your child calm down, too. If you must punish, make it brief. Longer and harsher punishment doesn’t make it any more effective and may work just the opposite. Another way to help change your child’s behavior is to try a reward system and make a game of doing what you ask her to do. Give a point each time she does what you ask her to do right away. If she doesn’t do it, you can say that you see she isn’t ready but you will try again later. If she then turns around after you have said that and does what you asked, praise her but don’t give her a point. You want to get her to do what you ask right away without complaining about it. Think about her strengths and spend time pointing them out to her. What does she do really well? Can she draw? Does she relate well with animals? Can she help with little children? Does she ask really good questions? Does she dress particularly well? Think about her strengths. Everyone has some; what are hers? Maybe you have to look even harder. Does she sleep well? Is she polite?

Does she complete her chores when she is supposed to? Is she a regular tooth brusher or does she at least keep up with her daily dental chores? Does she eat her vegetables? Whenyouthinkaboutherstrengths, it helps you think about her more positively. Even that change will help you more positively see the things she is doing well. When she hears you praise her strengths, she feels more positively about herself, too. The main thing is to spend more time praising your child for what she is doing and less time being unhappy with her. Dr. Alan Kazdin, of the Yale University Parenting Center which specializes in defiant children, says that you should be praising your child’s behavior 90 percent of the time and punishing only 10 percent of the time. He says that if you notice your child’s good behavior and give it positive attention, the child will do more of it. In other words, change your behavior and your child will change hers.

MILESTONES 3 Clallam fire districts receive state honors

Wood a top Toastmaster On Oct. 13, Port Angeles resident Leilani Wood matched wits with other public speaking enthusiasts to come out on top in an extemporaneous speech contest. The event was Toastmasters Tall Tales and Table Topics Contest for Division B of District 32. Division B stretches from Port Angeles to Gig Harbor and comprises 16 clubs. Wood is a member of Port Angeles Toastmasters that meets Mondays, 7-8:30 p.m., at the Clallam Transit Office Building. Wood and the other contestants made it through two previous rounds of contests, the first at their clubs, the second at the area level. Each of the four table topics contestants entered the room one at a time to hear the topic question for the first time. Each had one to two minutes to speak to the question: “Vanilla or chocolate?” As a horticulturalist, Wood called upon her knowledge of both the cacao tree and the vanilla orchid to respond. Her brief but humorous and fact-packed talk won the votes of the judges, all fellow Toastmasters. Other Toastmasters, one from each of four areas within Division B, also competed in Tall Tales. Elena Brenna, resident of Port Ludlow, won that contest.

JERSEY is a super cute little pit bull. She is willing to learn if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to offer treats! She does have food allergies, so a nonchicken, grain-free food would be a necessity. She needs a securely fenced yard and plenty of walks to keep her exercised and content. She is NOT the type of dog you just leave in the yard all day. If you are looking for a neat little pit bull girl, Jersey just might be the one!

EVE was very scared when we first got her, but she has since become very sweet! Eve needs The to Bluffs go to a home where she will be the only pet, and where there are no kids. She can be very protective of her home so she will need a fenced yard to keep her safe. Eve loves to play fetch! If you are looking for a loyal pit bull, please consider Eve!
