On track to propose a multimillion dollar construction bond to benefit the Sequim School District in November, district officials and

Sequim downtown Cafe reopens with new kitchen by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

After a three-month layoff, the Sunshine Cafe, 135 W. Washington St., serves its classic breakfasts and burgers once again starting Friday morning. Owners Allen and Dianne Drake reopen from

7 a.m.-3 p.m. three months to the day that they received a notice from the City of Sequim that code violations from their grill’s hood and fire suppression system were deemed dangerous and could not be operated until they were replaced. Allen, who has worked almost daily on repairs, said they are eager to get back in the kitchen.

“This is what we do,” he said. “Cooking in the kitchen and serving people is what it’s all about. It’s a good feeling to see steam rising up over the plate as they get into it.” The closure followed a recent effort from the City of Sequim and Clallam County Fire District 3, with whom the city contracts services, to increase inspections.

An often isolating disease is being pulled from the shadows and into the light on Saturday, Sept. 26, as hundreds of individuals gather in support of the Alzheimer’s Association. “This is one of the most horrific diseases because it robs us of our minds,” Sherry Niermann said. “When we lose our memory and our stories — we don’t know who we are anymore.”

A potentially deadly risk to dogs is on the rise as salmon end their journey to spawn up local waterways. The disease specific to canines is known as “salmon poisoning disease” and can occur if a dog consumes an infected raw salmon or other species of anadromous fish. “Salmon poisoning disease is a serious and often fatal disease of dogs, coyotes and foxes of the Pacific Northwest,” Emily Fecso, veterinary assistant at Olympic Veterinary Clinic, said. Although the disease is more closely associated with slow moving rivers and streams, local veterinary clinics “absolutely get cases around here and it’s something to be aware of,” Fecso said. The disease, unique to areas stretching from northern California to British Columbia, derives from a microorganism called Neorickettsia helminthoeca, Fecso said. The microorganism is the disease agent that lives in parasitic flatworms known as flukes.

Assistant Fire Chief Roger Moeder said several restaurants in the area, like the Sunshine Cafe, have changed their fire suppression systems following enforcement of newer standards from the late 1990s. He said Fire Inspector Steve Jackson initially realized the cafe’s hood and duct system hadn’t been serviced for a while. A company inspected it and discovered holes in the sides of the hood covered in grease and the Drakes alerted the fire department. “It went into a void space where all this grease had been going into,” Moeder said. “If they have a flare-up on the stove, then the whole building could be on fire.” The Drakes opted to shut down despite given the option to sell only a partial menu without the grill. They partnered with their landlord Olympic View Properties owner Brown M. Maloney to finance repairs. During demolition in the back of the restaurant, the kitchen’s contents were displaced into the dining room. Yet interest in a meal in the cafe remained high. “People were peering in and knocking and pulling on the door everyday,” Dianne said.

Dianne said several community members even helped clean. “I just want to say thank you to the community for saving the Sunshine Cafe,” she said. “Customers and the community were huge when we closed.” All but one staff member returns for the reopening, too, the Drakes The Sunshine Cafe features a new hood and duct system and fryer that Keep shining said. owners Dianne and Allen Drake said should allow for quicker production They also are planning on trying The Drakes said they are moving of food.

Similar to Sunshine Cafe’s situation three months ago, Las Palomas Mexican Restaurant, 1085 E. Washington St., must replace its hood and duct and fire suppression system. Until then the business is closed, owners and fire officials said. Assistant Fire Chief Roger Moeder with Clallam County Fire District 3 said they were contacted by a company that maintains fire suppression systems that the restaurant had a fire in the kitchen and its suppression system put it out. However, the non-compliant system was drained and needed a charge. Moeder said owners were given an opportunity to find another bottle of repellent and operate until the end of October but they were unable to, which led to the business’ closure on Sept. 16. Previously, the business shut down for two days until it could find repellent, which it used last week. At that time, they were given six months to begin replacing the hood and duct system. Moeder said the hood doesn’t cover the appliances

they are using. Fernando Lopez, co-owner of Las Palomas with his brothers, said he’s waiting on quotes from companies to begin replacing the system. “We want to try to do it as soon as we can,” Lopez said. “I’m hoping to do it in a few weeks. I’m trying to find the best deal.” He’s been in touch with companies in Oregon and in Seattle but doesn’t have a firm plan yet. Like Sunshine Cafe, Las Palomas was given the option to stay open but not use its cooking area but Lopez said it’s not worth keeping the bar open without food. He is worried though about the possible costs and

Shawnra Cash and Billy Kidd watch hundred of golf balls fall from the sky as part of a fundraiser through the Trey Green Guild to support uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s hospital.

The Trey Green Guild celebrated its 10th anniversary by reaching its goal of raising $100,000 for uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s hospital. Between two events, 116 players participated in the golf tournament on Sept. 18 and about 250 people attended the Wine Gala and Auction on Sept. 19, both at The Cedars at Dungeness. The guild added a Golf Ball Drop from a Clallam County Fire District 3 truck on Friday night where participants paid $10 a ball and the ball closest to the pin could win cash prizes. This year, they sold 731 balls and Jess Charles won $500, Shannon Cauffman $250 and Eric Miner $100. Organizers said there were 39 teams for the tournament and room for more next year. For more on the guild, visit www.treygreenguild.com or find it on Facebook.

Because of recent complaints to the Sequim City Council regarding noise generated from Naval Growler training flight patterns over the SequimDungeness Valley, members of the council and city staff visited the U.S. Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island on Aug. 21 to discuss the best way to respond to citizen concerns. At that meeting, the council learned that the Navy has set up a hotline and e-mail address for concerns, complaints or questions regarding the jet plane noise. Residents should contact 360-257-6665 or e-mail

comments to NASWI@ navy.mil. The U.S. Navy will investigate reports and respond to public concerns, officials said last week. They request as much detail as possible when reporting an incident to help them in tracking down what occurred. There is an Environmental Impact Statement being prepared to evaluate the potential environmental effects associated with additional aircraft being added to NAS Whidbey Island. Visit the Navy website for more information on the impact statement and the public involvement process at www. whidbeyeis.com.

She has never seriously injured another animal, but she will CHASE! Also, Myra MUST have a very well-FENCED yard. Even with her older age, and her missing a limb, Myra is still quite agile and energetic -- she WILL chew through a rope and/or climb a fence to pilot her own adventures through the neighborhood. Age: Almost 9 years Additionally, it is recommended that Myra be kenneled in the house when left alone. She has been adopted and returned once for doing damage to Breed: Chow mix the interior of the house when she accidentally closed herself in a bathroom while wandering around... Reason for being at shelter: Myra may be a challenge... But, with the right owner she’ll be a great dog! She just needs an experienced owner that can provide her with the kind of environment she needs to be safe and secure.

From page A-1 move on with the needs and that’s the beauty about the size of Sequim,” Neal said. “We’re large enough that we can maintain and have some of these opportunities for our kids because we’re not completely rural, yet we’re not a district of 30,000 where it takes a long time for the ship to change course and to move … that’s a real huge advantage.”

Immediate needs From a n immediate perspective, the district’s schools are at “capacity” with students “shoulder-toshoulder,” Neal said. And, in some cases the buildings are no longer safe. Having added several portables to the elementary schools during the summer, Neal looks to the bond to first address the “same problem we’ve had.” “We’re beyond the capacity for what these structures were initially built for,” he said. As the kindergartners from last year move into first grade, it’s the first time they’ve attended school fulltime. Until this year kindergarten within the district was part time, but in response to state requirements, this year’s kindergarteners also are attending class all day. “That’s two grade levels in two different buildings where we’ve doubled the enrollment, so that’s something that we need to take a look at along with our lunch rooms, transportation and instructors,” Neal said. Among what officials call unsafe classroom situations targeted for change under the bond is the band and choir room located in the old middle school across from the high school. The band room is “undersized” for high

school-aged students, Vern Fosket, Sequim High School band director, said. Being “completely disconnected” from the high school campus requires more than 200 hundred students enrolled in band and/or choir to cross Fir Street, miss instructional time because of the length of walk to class and operate on a different bell and emergency announcement system as the classroom isn’t wired to the main campus, Fosket said. The bond and anticipated $4.3 million in state matching funds would enable the construction of new high school band and choir rooms on the school’s main campus. It also would allow for a new elementary school, four more classrooms and a gym to Greywolf Elementary School, repurpose two portions of Helen Haller Elementary School for the Olympic Peninsula Academy and the alternative learning experience program, update the

district’s base kitchen that serves 2,800 students within the district, six more high school science classrooms and the renovation of the 1979 addition of the Sequim Community School to provide a central warehouse and maintenance facility. The 1948 portion of the Sequim Community School is to be demolished.

Future needs Apart from basic space and safety concerns and from a more visionary stance, the district’s existing infrastructure lacks the ability to offer a 21st-century form of education, Neal said. “If we were trying to address just technology, we would probably have to flatten most of the buildings just to get them wired appropriately to get the power that we need to use modern technology,” he said. Some of the classrooms have two power outlets, which hinder Neal’s vision

to incorporate more of a STEM model of education by weaving together science, technology, engineering and mathematics into the everyday curriculum. Neal helped to introduce STEM during his previous position in Spokane. “I would just love to see us doing things that really promote the capacity of the students to have more of a career pathway that ties into their learning,” Neal said. “I don’t think it’s any secret that we’ve outgrown our public education as far as putting things in silos.” “Instead of teaching algebra and English and world affairs — maybe we do things that tie all those things together,” he said. Already, to help ready students for careers and avenues for higher education following their K-12 education, officials with the Sequim School District and Peninsula College are exchanging ideas. “These are the things that are going to help springboard our students to the next level of understanding,” Neal said. “In order for us to just keep up with the methodology of what’s going to help these students get to where they need to be, we need to start with the structures.”

The right to vote Taking a step back from the schools to also emphasize the simple right to vote, officials with Citizens for Sequim Schools have rebranded. Instead of the iconic red apple associated

with Sequim schools, the new logo increasingly seen as the November General Election nears is a simple school house, topped with an American flag. “We were very deliberate to incorporate a flag into the brand,” Colleen Robinson, Citizens for Sequim School president, said. “We wanted it to also be about the duty and privilege to vote.” The advocacy group working to pass the bond also is deliberate in its effort to reach busy parents and impress the importance of voting. “People need to know that their vote counts,” Robinson said. Although, as an organization, the Clallam County League of Women Voters isn’t advocating support for the bond, members are collaborating with Citizens for Sequim Schools and the district to be present at the functions centered on the bond to encourage residents to vote and register people. Extending their reach even further to spur engagement, those with Citizens for Sequim Schools are increasing the group’s social media and online presence, Robinson said. The group maintains an active Twitter, Facebook and ROBINSON website. “This has helped us connect with parents and even get high school students involved and aware,” she said. Having worked for the Sequim School District for about nine years until this January and with four of her five children as Sequim High School graduates, Robinson hopes to bring an inside perspective to the advocacy group. “We’re trying to make voters aware of what we’ve been doing with so little money within the schools and now it’s time to invest,” she said. “We have 29 portables … that alone equals one elementary school, but people just aren’t always aware.” Recognizing the first bond request was “too much,” Rob-

inson feels the last bond measure was still running against the initial voter negativity felt from the first proposal. However, with the motto of “It’s going to pass” at every Citizens for Sequim School’s meeting, Robinson is optimistic moving toward November. Since their campaign began in August, but formally kicked off on Tuesday, community members and local businesses have been “very supportive,” Robinson said. To help with the costs associated with the campaign and rebranding, some business owners have even deferred payment until after the group’s annual Golf Tournament and fundraiser set for Saturday, Oct. 17.

Tax impact Upon approval, the rate to repay the bond within a 20year window is set at 61 cents per $1,000 assessed property valuation. Coupled with the Educational Programs and Operations levy, the 2016 school rate would be $2.19 per $1,000 assessed valuation. For example, that tax rate would equate to $12.71 per month for a property valued at $250,000. Among recent tax rates, $2.19 per $1,000 assessed valuation is below the 2013 rate, but more than those paid within the past two years. Persons 61 years old or older that earn less than $40,000 annually may be eligible for an exemption from the school tax. In addition to the series of educational forums about the upcoming bond proposal, Neal is available to meet with groups, neighborhoods and communities for “coffee chats.” If interested in hosting a chat, contact administrative assistant Marilyn Walsh at 582-3262. More information about the school bond is available on the district’s website, www.sequim.k12.wa.us/ sequim, or visit the Citizen’s for Sequim Schools website, citizensforsequimschools.org.

During a weeklong visit via the SequimShiso Sister City Association’s Student Educational Exchange Program, 10 students and three adult chaperones from Shiso, Japan, stayed with local host families and toured the area, including the Sequim School District. Since 1993, the all-volunteer coordinated program aimed at promoting cultural appreciation, history and understanding, community values, international relations and exchange of ideas through first-hand experiences, has facilitated the opportunity for student ambassadors from Sequim and Shiso. On Oct. 5, a group of Sequim High School freshmen accompanied by adult chaperones are scheduled to travel to Shiso, where they’ll say with stay with the families of the students who came to Sequim. The visiting students from Sequim include Nathaniel Edge, Ozzy Kramer, Erin Gordon, Kaitlyn Viada, Richard Hall, Brenden Jack, Nick Kingsley, Jazen Bartee, Jade Webb and Gabby Dingman. Second-graders Selina Meyer and Sofia Chavez read to visiting student Amu Nagata during the Shiso is a city of about 41,000 residents tour of Teresa Thorson’s second-grade classroom at Helen Haller Elementary School.

Walk to End Alzheimer’s

From page A-1 Niermann is the captain of the team representing St. Luke’s Episcopal Church at the fourth annual North Olympic Peninsula Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The walk is one of 16 the association is holding across the state and northern Idaho, but hosted at the Carroll C. Kendall Unit Boys & Girls Club in Sequim, it’s the sole walk on the Olympic Peninsula. “The Sequim Walk is a very community-led effort and the Boys & Girls Club as a venue is unique,” Becca Verda, communications and outreach coordinator for the Alzheimer’s Association Washington Chapter, said. “There is a very family friendly atmosphere at the Sequim Walk — people bring their kids and entire families to come out and participate or volunteer so we really see the different generations within the community come together for the day around this cause.” An anticipated 270 walkers from across the peninsula are expected to join in the 2.5-mile loop around central Sequim and help reach the $43,400 goal. As of Tuesday, the community already had reached 53 percent of the goal. Alzheimer’s Association officials set the goal based on past walks and size of the community. Last year, the walk in Sequim raised more than $38,000. When setting the goal, “we always try to challenge ourselves to go a little further,” Verda said. All funds raised go toward the Alzheimer’s Association as a nonprofit to further the care, support and research efforts of the organiza-

Beyond keeping a watchful eye, Fecso also noted, if planning to fish, it’s best to thoroughly cook all fish before allowing your dog to eat any and keep them away from the area where the salmon were cleaned and prepped. Symptoms may appear within six days of a dog eating an infected fish and can include vomiting, lack of appetite, fever, diarrhea, weakness, swollen lymph nodes and dehydration, according to officials with Washington

Despite the serious consequences of the disease, it’s treatable if caught early. “A physical examination and fecal sample can help your veterinarian diagnose salmon poisoning disease and rule out other diseases with similar symptoms,” Fecso said.

tion. Beyond enabling ongoing research in pursuit of a cure, the donations aid in providing free services such as a 24/7 helpline, workshops, support groups and online resources. The monetary component is just one aspect of the annual event, however. “It’s really an uplifting and fun day where everyone from caregivers to people living with dementia can be together in a large group,” Verda said. “When a large number of relatable people can come together, it’s always a powerful feeling.” The energy and overwhelming sense of support is the driving force prompting Niermann to spearhead involvement in the walk for the second year, she said. As she ages, Niermann explained how her exposure to more people, fellow congregation members and friends impacted by Alzheimer’s is seemingly increasing. Looking around at the walkers during last year’s event was a humbling experience for Niermann, as each registered walker can carry a “Promise Garden” flower of either blue, purple, orange or yellow in color. Each color represents a Reach Alana Linderoth at alinderoth@ different connection to the disease, from a sequimgazette.com.

Amplifying the need to know, state and tribal officials estimated a record number of pink salmon to return to the Dungeness River in late summer and fall, equating to between 1.1 and 1.3 million. After spawning and as carcasses of a possible million or more salmon line the river’s edge, the smell of fish can be tempting for dogs. “Living in the Pacific Northwest, precautions always must be taken to prevent your dog from being exposed to salmon poisoning disease,” Fecso said. “If you’re planning on hiking along a river or going to a beach with possible dead salmon, please keep your dog on a leash.”

“The parasitic flukes have three different hosts including snails, fish and lastly dogs,” she said. “When a dog eats a fish with an infected fluke, the fluke will release the microorganism, making the dog very sick.” Fecso’s two canine companions recently contracted what veterinarians believe was salmon poisoning disease earlier this year following a trip to Freshwater Bay. Shortly following her dogs’ recovery, the experience prompted Fecso to further research the disease and share information about it via the clinic’s blog, she said.

caregiver, someone who lost someone to the disease, someone with dementia or for those who simply support the cause and vision of a world without Alzheimer’s disease. “It’s really amazing to look around and see all the people and the different flowers,” she said. “I absolutely believe it’s important that the community walks to raise awareness and show how important this is — I just think it can’t help but make a difference.” Having known those that have lost loved ones to complications related to Alzheimer’s disease, Niermann has seen the hardship the disease can cause to not only the person with it, but the caregiver, too. “Showing support for the caregivers is another reason to walk,” she said. “They’re incredible — what a statement of humanity.” For each person with Alzheimer’s disease, there’s an associated average of three unpaid caregivers, Verda said. “A lot of the time the caregivers are family members,” she said. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 60-80 percent of cases and ranks third in Washington as a leading cause of death, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. The form of dementia isn’t specific to old age, but up to 5 percent of people with the disease have early onset Alzheimer’s, which often appears among 4050 year olds. More than more than 100,000 Washingtonians have the disease, Verda said. For more information on the association and/or Alzheimer’s disease, visit www.alz.org.

LETTERS To submit a letter TO THE EDITOR 147 W. Washington St., Sequim, WA 98382 Golfers appreciate merchants’ support for ‘Whine and Roses’ The Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course was indeed a fun place to be on Sept. 14-15. The Annual Whine & Roses Golf Tournament hosted by the Dungeness Women’s Golf Association took place under mostly sunny skies and an ideal setting for fun and competitive golf. A nine-hole scramble with two full flights and an 18 hole Best Ball shotgun with full field took place Monday and Tuesday. This was the biggest turnout and perhaps the most successful tournament Whine and Roses fielded. Great cash prizes, book money and generous raffle prizes were awarded. Wine and cheese with the putting contest provided laughs and compliments. Casino dinner and breakfast before tee off, then lunch after 18 — a great fun two days. Many thanks to our generous community merchants for all their donations. Donna Maclean Sequim

Bridge favors Stoffer

It has been my privilege to represent the Third District on the Sequim School Board for the past six-and-a-half years. Some long hours and the occasional setback have been more than balanced by having a hand in sending prepared students out in the world and seeing the district currently going in such a great direction. I thank all of you who have given me support and encouragement. Jim Stoffer is on the Nov. 3 ballot for my position. He has volunteered in the schools for many years, has worked hard on school bond issues and is frequently in the audience at school board meetings. He knows his way around the schools, works well with others and can be depended on to put in the needed time for this important position. Please join me in voting for Jim to take my position. John Bridge Sequim (Bridge is a Sequim School Board director; he is not running for his District 3 position in November.)

Support Stoffer for school board As a retired teacher and teacher educator, I support Jim Stoffer for Sequim School Board. I met Jim through a hiking group and was first impressed with him as a person who was always prepared to help. For example, he carried extra bottles of water and snack bars in case we encountered other hikers who were underprepared. But more importantly, as we walked and talked about schools and community I became more impressed in his understanding of the importance of community involvement in local schools. He was an active volunteer in Sequim schools when his daughter was a student and has continued his involvement after her graduation by serving on a number of school committees in a variety of capacities. As an example of his willingness to serve, he has agreed to chaperone a group of students to Shiso, Japan, this fall even though it will take him away from his campaign. I attended his campaign kick-off as a friend but after hearing what he and his fellow running mates, Heather Short and Robin Henrikson, had to say about why they were running for the school board, I became an active supporter for all three. Effective schools are an important factor in the quality of life we expect in our community and I feel confident these three candidates will work hard to that end. Carlyn Syvanen Sequim

Observe the signage I am glad Bertha D. Cooper knows when she is “not wanted” (“Signs of our time,” Sequim Gazette, Sept. 16, page A-12). That is, after all, the whole point of the “private road” and “no trespassing” signs along Jamestown Road. Walkers are welcome. Trespassers are not. Ethel R. Zwanziger Jamestown

For Jim Stoffer I am supporting Jim Stoffer for the Sequim School Board because he has the leadership skills and understanding of school district operations and financing needed to help the community define educational services for children and citizens of Sequim. As a former Coast Guard commanding officer, Jim understands how to build teamwork that crosses organizational lines to achieve shared goals of maximizing the formal educational environment within the Sequim School District. Jim has been devoting his time to school district activities since 2002 in many roles ranging from building sets for school plays to serving in a leadership position during the bond campaign. Among Jim’s skills and abilities that will make him an excellent school board member is his talent for listening to input and using this information to build consensus that leads to productive action.

FROM THE WEB • SARC’s future reamins unclear (Sept. 17) Soooo thankful that we are still able to have the facility, even if the hours are shorter. Hopefully something/someone else will come along and help make it last for years to come. A huge shame if it has to close, a beautiful facility and great people! — Carol Warren Dunham

SEQUIM GAZETTE

Verbatim: Tim Wheeler ... and a cow named Maybe Tim Wheeler is a Sequim High School graduate from the Class of 1958. The longtimetime Sequim reisdent relates a story that, as he writes, “ultimately will appear in my memoir, if I ever complete it.”

“Back in the 1950s dairy farmers in Clallam County sold their bull calves to the local mink farmer who fed them to his mink. Like the illfated husbands of black widow spiders, those bull calves were a testament to the disadvantage of being born male. One day the mink farmer came in his truck to pick up one of our newborn bull calves. My dad looked into the back of the pickup and spotted a little Jersey heifer among the bulls. ‘What’s she doing in there?’ my father asked. ‘Well, one of your neighbors put her in. He didn’t want her.’ ‘I’ll trade you straight across — my bull calf for that heifer.’ The mink farmer chuckled. ‘Alright, maybe she will turn out to be a prize winner.’ The mink farmer unloaded the heifer from the pickup. Daddy turned the little heifer over to my sisters, Susan and Honeybee, whose job was to care for the calves, feeding them, cleaning out their stalls. We had a mixed herd, Jerseys, Guernseys, Brown Swiss and Holstein. We sold our milk to Darigold, a milk producers’ cooperative in Seattle. Honeybee and Susan would mix up the formula in a bucket fitted with an artificial teat. The heifers suckled the fake teat greedily. We never knew whether it was a deficiency in the formula or some other explanation. Scours was endemic and the majority of the calves sickened and died. They were like pets to my sisters and they were devastated. Susan and Honeybee named the calves. They chose a name for the Jersey heifer that reflected the ‘iffy’ circumstances of her arrival on our farm: ‘Maybe.’ As in, maybe she will make it to milk-producing age. But then again, maybe she wouldn’t. In the weeks and months that followed, Maybe thrived. She grew into a sleek, dark brown heifer with huge soulful eyes, the beauty that Jerseylovers find so irresistible. Susan and Honeybee spoiled her, feeding her selected armloads of alfalfa, grain with a cup or two of molasses dripping from it like a chocolate sundae. She became their favorite pet. When we were in the calf pen, feeding one of the other calves, Maybe would saunter up and nudge us with the top of her head as if to say, ‘My turn.’ Susan and Honeybee were members of 4-H and showed Maybe at the Irrigation Festival and the Jim has spent many hours working to understand the complicated financial structure of local education financing in Washington. With this knowledge Jim is prepared to lead local efforts in financial partnership with the Legislature and community interests to ensure the best use of available educational funds in Sequim. Sequim is at a tipping point in its evolution as a community. We can become a kind of northwestern Sun City that seeks to attract primarily retirees by keeping property taxes low. Or we can become a demographically diverse community that is attractive to people of all ages and stages of life who will bring economic productivity that enhances property and lifestyle values. Quality local education services are a prime requisite to build a community that is attractive to a wide range of people. Jim Stoffer will bring prudent management to school district finances to strengthen education infrastructure at a reasonable cost. Best use of Jim’s qualifications will be realized if he has like-minded individuals with him on the school board. Therefore I am also endorsing Robin Henrikson and Heather Short. Please join me in supporting these candidates for the Sequim School Board. Jon Wendt Sequim

Thief wasting ‘gift of life’ To whomever it was who broke into my pickup truck Saturday night, you know who you are and what you did. I am truly sorry that you value your character so little that you were willing to trade it away for such a pittance. If you truly needed a multitool, like the one you stole from the glove box, I would have given you one. The keys on the lanyard that you took don’t fit anything anymore, because we changed the locks. You are wasting the gift of life that you’ve been given. I’m inviting you to turn yourself around. Bring my stuff back to me, all will be forgiven, and you can take steps to make a new start in life. If you decide to keep going down the path of theft, it will not end well for you. Take a chance … what have you got to lose, except your mistakes? Richard Johnson Sequim

county fair. Once Maybe won a Blue Ribbon for ‘Type’ and a Red Ribbon for ‘Show.’ Maybe came of age, she was bred, gave birth to a calf of her own, freshened and became a milk producer. Still the big “M” hung over her: Maybe she will be a good milk producer, maybe not. A few years later, the answer was in. In 1967, the Dairy Herd Improvement Association (DHIA) proclaimed “Maybe” the Butterfat Queen of Clallam County. Over six lactations, she produced 37,000 pounds of milk — over 12 tons. At 8.1 percent fat, she produced over a ton of butterfat, enough to supply the entire town of Sequim with all the ice cream we could eat. Her photograph is on the front cover of the DHIA’s 1967 Annual Report, a dark, beautiful Jersey cow with a very large udder. Doubtless she was born with the blood of bovine royalty running in her veins. Yet her lineage, if known at all, is a secret held by the mink man.”

Strong schools make strong communities Excellent schools benefit the community in diverse ways. They prepare our youth for their future roles as voters and leaders. They attract businesses, professionals and families. They are an important factor in strong wages and property values. Sequim Schools face challenges that cannot be resolved with state monies. The current conditions and lack of real classrooms is a reality that we cannot continue to ignore. Some buildings have exceeded their intended lifespan and haven’t kept pace with mandated and real-world instructional requirements. The shortage of appropriate classrooms has forced the district to utilize 29 full-time “portable” structures. The base kitchen is antiquated and inefficient in meeting the 1,800 meals served daily. Developed with broad community input, this bond addresses the most urgent problems. It provides permanent classroom space (particularly for our youngest students), getting children out of 27 of the portables. It delivers six new science classrooms appropriate to 21st-century learners at the high school, along with additional classrooms integrated back onto the campus. It provides viable classroom space for the district’s alternative school and upgrades the base kitchen to benefit all of the students who rely on it each school day. Further, this bond makes good economic sense. Permanent classrooms cost less to heat and maintain than temporaries. A base kitchen with energy-efficient equipment will afford ongoing operational savings. This bond proposal is well-considered and affordable. Please vote “YES” and support Our Children, Our Community and Our Future.

City of Sequim to resume testing of sanitary sewers The City of Sequim Public Works Department will resume sanitary sewer smoke testing this month. On Sept. 24-25 it will be testing on Bell Hill between Doe Run Road and Carriage Drive and on Sept. 29-30 on Broadmoor Street and Comfort Way and the Rolling Hills area. Neighborhoods and individual properties will be notified in advance when smoke testing will take place in their specific area. Residents should look for a bright pink door hanger and green

and blue A-frame board signs in their neighborhood with the specific dates for testing in their vicinity. Testing involves opening manholes and filling the sewer lines with non-toxic smoke. During the tests residents may see smoke coming from vent stacks on buildings or from holes in the ground such as manhole covers, storm drains and building foundations. If residents see smoke, there is no need for alarm. The smoke has no odor, is

non-toxic, non-staining, does not create a fire hazard and will dissipate in a few minutes. There is no need for the testing crew to enter any homes or building. The Public Works Department recommends that residents flush all toilets and run water down all sinks, tubs and laundry drains before the first day of the testing period to make sure that all drain traps contain enough water to prevent smoke from entering the building through the drains. If residents see smoke in

their building, they should open the doors and windows to ventilate the premises and to clear smoke. Simulated smoke will not stain walls or furniture and it will not leave a residue. Simulated smoke is not harmful to your health but may cause some coughing. Smoke irritation is temporary and should disappear after exposure has ceased. When possible avoid unnecessary exposure to simulated smoke. The chemical makeup of the smoke compound can be

The North Olympic Land Trust is dedicated to the conservation of open spaces, local food, local resources, healthy watersheds and recreational opportunities. Its long-term goal is to conserve lands that sustain the ecological and economic vitality of the communities of Clallam County. Founded by community members in 1990, the Land Trust has conserved more than 3,000 acres of land across the North Olympic Peninsula working with willing landowners to conserve the area’s farms, fish and forests.

found on the City of Sequim website (www.sequimwa.gov) or by calling the Public Works Department at 683-4908. If residents do see smoke in their building, they should consult a licensed plumber in the near future to identify the smoke access area, as the potential exists for sewer gases to enter the building in the same manner. If you experience smoke in your house or from vents in your home and did not have a flier on your door or A-frame sign visible on your block, call 9-1-1. At any time during these tests, feel free to ask questions of the Public Works

employees conducting the test in your neighborhood. Clallam County Fire District 3, Pen Com and city police will be notified of the testing and will be updated throughout the test period of testing locations. Prior to the testing, notify Pete Tjemsland or Public Works if there is an individual in your building, business or residence who has respiratory problems and/or mobility limitations. For questions about the sanitary sewer smoke testing, contact Public Works utilities manager Pete Tjemsland at 683-4908 or sewer smoketest@sequimwa.gov.

Fifteen Clallam County landowners were honored in front of a soldout crowd of nearly 200 community leaders and fellow conservationists at North Olympic Land Trust’s 16thannual Harvest Dinner on Sept. 12. Hosted at the Sunland Golf & Country Club, the event not only raised glasses to conservation but plenty of funds as well. Tom Sanford, executive director of North Olympic Land Trust, said the event raised more than $48,000 for Land Trust endeavors. Proceeds from the dinner will support efforts to conserve local farms and food and to preserve agricultural jobs in Clallam County. “We are ecstatic with this statement of faith in the Land Trust’s efforts and we couldn’t have achieved this without the dedicated cadre of volunteers who help to make the Harvest Dinner a stellar event each year,” Sanford said. “I can’t thank

them enough.” This year, in recognition of 25 years of land conservation, the Land Trust chose to honor the local landowners that have agreed to permanently conserve their farmland, ensuring it always will be available for farming. “Many of these individuals helped to usher in our founding organization and all of them are champions for the cause of conservation. Their conservation stories serve as an inspiration to the community,” Sanford said. “As individuals maintaining their livelihood through farming they truly understand that our community’s land base is the bedrock of our culture, our economy, our homes and our daily lives.” Among those honored were Pat Willits and her late husband John Willits. They helped orchestrate an entire corridor of the farmland and wildlife conservation near the mouth of the Dungeness River. A

Decades of service in purple, gold Sequim Valley Lions celebrate landmark with night of festivities by MICHAEL DASHIELL

James A. Gault

Sequim Gazette

Sequim resident James A. (Jim) Gault died Sept. 17, 2015, in Sequim at the age of 89. Graveside services will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, at Sequim View Cemetery. He was born April 1, 1926.

Sequim’s Lions are celebrating a little early. After nearly 60 years of service, who can blame them? The Sequim Valley Lions celebrate the 60th anniversary of their charter with an evening of festivities on Saturday, Sept. 25, at 7 Cedars Casino. The event kicks off at 5 p.m. with a social hour, followed by pageantry and honors from and to local Lions club members. The event is open to the public. Sequim Valley Lion Jack Napiontek, one of the Lions organizing the festivities, says the group moved up the date from its original charter anniversary — Dec. 19, 1955 — so that those who didn’t want to travel too much in the colder months could participate. Since Sequim’s club is part of a district that covers Vancouver Island, B.C., Napiontek figures they’ll see plenty of Canadian Lions on the peninsula. “We’re definitely international,” Napiontek says. No kidding. Known as The International Association of Lions Clubs — or, more familiarly, Lions Clubs International — the group is now the largest international service club by membership (Rotary International is second). The Lions have 1.4 million members worldwide serving in 46,000 clubs in 185 countries/geographical areas. Here on the peninsula, the Lions have been active in numerous projects, from raffles and cutting and selling of firewood to sponsorship of community events such as the Irrigation Festival’s Loggers Breakfast and Logging Show, community barbecues to poker runs, health

Conservation district offers natural landscaping course on Saturdays in October The Clallam Conservation District is taking registrations for its fall Natural Landscaping course. The course includes three evening classes in Sequim and three Saturday field trips. Utilizing Permaculture design principles, course participants receive step by step instruction on how to analyze their properties and develop landscape designs suited to each site’s unique ecological conditions. The course focuses on water conservation, wildlife habitat enhancement, stormwater management and low maintenance. Evening classes will be on Thursdays, Oct. 8, 15 and 22 from 6-8:30 p.m. at the Dungeness River Audubon Center, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road. Field trips will be on Saturday mornings, Oct. 10, 17 and 24. To register, call the Clallam Conservation District at 775-3747 extension 5. The registration deadline is Oct. 5. A $25 registration fee covers the cost of a binder of course materials, the WSU publication “Grow Your Own Native Landscape” and facilities rental. Clallam Conservation District executive director Joe Holtrop is the course instructor. Holtrop has undergraduate and graduate degrees in landscape architecture and has been teaching classes on natural landscaping since 1990.

Fishing: State repeals gear restrictions The Washington state Department of Fish and Wildlife has removed selective gear restrictions and is allowing chinook retention on the lower Hoh River outside Olympic National Park. With the onset of wetter and cooler weather, most summer chinook have moved out of the lower Hoh River, state officials said. The rule change that was initiated on Sept. 17 allows anglers to pursue salmon with normal gear, including bait, consistent with regular season rules found in the “Washington Sport Fishing Rules” pamphlet. The Olympic National Park closures of the Hoh River within the park remain in effect. The state also has re-opened to fishing the upper reaches of north coast rivers. These reaches were closed to protect fish during unusually low water conditions. Recent rains and cooling temperatures have increased water levels, allowing fish to move more freely upriver and alleviating the need for additional protection. Among the re-openings are: • the East and West Forks Dickey River upstream of their confluence, and Thunder Creek, tributary, • and the Bogachiel River upstream of the U.S. Highway 101 bridge to the Olympic National Park boundary, and Bear Creek, tributary.

They’ve provided dinner to veterans, given eye glasses and hearing aids to low-income residents, participated in student exchanges and more. “One of our great accomplishments,” notes Napiontek, “was the building of Guy Cole Convention Center and the development of Carrie Blake Park.”

Dream fulfilled What began in 1974 as a dream for a community park has grown into a 14-acre public park and garden. But it wasn’t a simple project. The park is named for Carrie Blake, niece of city planning commissioner Charles

Blake Jr., who spent hours on the property planting flowers and relaxing in the years before her death in 1969 at the age of 77. Guy Cole, a jeweler, member of the Lions Club and chairman of the city’s park board, joined up with Charles Blake to develop the park as a Bicentennial project. The original plan, notes Lions club member Kit Stewart in her history of the park, included sports areas for baseball, soccer and tennis, band and picnic sites, children’s playground, meeting hall and walking/jogging paths among the ponds. A “Sequim park for the people by Sequim people,” is the way Cole described it to the city council, Stewart noted. “It,” Napiontek says, referring to the Guy Cole center, “took us a long time to build.” Estimates vary, but the Lions figure between 3,0005,000 volunteer labor hours and an undetermined number of donated equipment hours went into building the 160-foot-long building and its additions. The Lions Club raised a reported $45,000 toward the initial project through benefit dances, game nights, food sales, raffles, donation jars and other gifts from local groups, and the city chipped in $35,000. Eight years after the park proposal, the Guy Cole building opened in 1982. But the Guy Cole center is only part of the Lions efforts at Carrie Blake Park. Following the City of Sequim’s purchase from Washington state of nine acres in 1974 and an additional five acres in 1976, Lions club members began the initial work of draining swamp water, filling in sinkholes, landscaping, sodding, planting trees, shaping a pond, building bridges, constructing benches and playground equipment, installing fences and more. In preceding years, Lions have purchased playground equipment and picnic tables, made a $30,000 donation for ballfields, built the Moon Bridge at the Friendship Garden and more. The Lions signed a 25-year lease with the city to use the building for meetings and bingo games, but in 2007 the two entities were unable to reach an agreement. The club now hosts meetings at 6:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Thursdays at Paradise Cafe, 703 N. Sequim Ave. (E-mail sequimvalley lions@gmail.com or call 6748403 for more information.)

April 1, 1926 - September 17, 2015 Sequim resident, James A. Gault, passed away at his home on September 17, 2015. An April Fool’s Day baby, Jim had to be delivered by his prankster father after the doctor refused to come, thinking it a joke. Born in Wenatchee, Washington to Otis and Esther Gault, he spent his early childhood playing along the banks of Mission Creek, near Cashmere. The family eventually relocated to Port Angeles where he attended grade school and Roosevelt High School. He enlisted in the Army Aircorp during WWII and trained to become an airplane mechanic, stationed in Washington DC, New Mexico and Mississippi. Returning home, he worked as an independent logger for several years, then joined the Department of Fisheries, working out of the Dungeness Fish Hatchery until his retirement. He enjoyed hunting trips with his family, ﬁshing, crabbing and traveling. He is survived by his wife Ellen and 2 step-sons, Ken Rardin and David (Jeanne) Rardin; his four children, Terri (David) Thompson, Trudi (Alan) Hawley, Tom Gault, and Jeff (Jeanette) Gault; 11 grandchildren; 6 great-grandchildren and his sister, Shirley (Gerard) Vergeer. Two brothers, Earl Gault and Norman Gault, preceded him in death, as did his parents. Graveside service will be held at Sequim View Cemetery, September 26, 2015 at 1:00 P.M. May you rest peacefully, out of pain, in the loving arms of God. We love you, dad.

Blaine in 1931, Greathouse moved to Sequim in 1955. He taught for 30 years in Sequim middle school and high school, 18 of those as shop teacher at Sequim High School. He also coached football, tennis and junior varsity baseball. Apart from his career in education, Greathouse served for five years on the Sequim City Council. He and his wife Jacquelyn, who died in 2010, bought the Triangle Motel and renamed it the Greathouse Motel. They operated it for 18 years. A Lion since 1957, Greathouse, was named Lion of the Year in 1986 and a Sequim honorary Pioneer in the 2014 Irrigation Festival Parade. Napiontek, who has been a Lion for 47 years and a Sequim Valley Lions club member since 1987, says the group is putting together a “memory book” detailing the 60 years of service, similar to one they constructed for the Lions’ 50th charter anniversary. He adds that they’ll be handing out 60th charter anniversary pins that also feature a crab, similar in design to the pin from the original charter.

A bit of Lions history The International Association of Lions Clubs got its start nearly a century ago. Led by Melvin Nones, a group of one dozen Chicago business men started the Chicago Central Lions Club on June 7, 1917. Their objective: to “provide service to others for the betterment of humanity, rather than self-serving business pursuits.” Membership is open to men and women of legal age and “good reputation in the community,” according to the club website; membership is by invitation only. The movement spurring hundreds of similar chapters in the following years as the Lions became an international group within three years. On the Olympic Peninsula, Port Angeles chartered a club in 1942, Forks in 1947 and Clallam Bay-Sekiu in 1951 before Sequim got its group. Following his father’s footsteps who was a longtime Lions Club member in Bremerton, Chris Simmons serves as the president of the Sequim Valley Lions Club and has been a member of the club for 13 years. “I do it because it’s a good way to give back to the community,” Simmons said. “Everything we do goes back to the community.” Although the primary efforts of the club are centered on vision and hearing assistance and services, Simmons admits he enjoys all the projects the club pursues. “The Lions take it very seriously to ensure all the funds raised stay within the Sequim-Dungeness area,” he said.

Saturday’s celebration features guest speaker Ronald Webber, a past Lions District Governor and a 48-year veteran of the Comox Valley Lions Club. Born and raised in Courtenay, B.C., Webber served for 12 years as mayor and 18 as alderman in his hometown. In his time on Courtenay council, he was involved with the construction of the River Walkway, a library and fire hall, the Sid Williams Theatre, a sports center and the Florence Filberg Centre. He also was named a Freeman of the City, one of the highest honors Canadian communities can give its citizens. The event also honors longtime Sequim resident The original Sequim Valley Glenn Greathouse. Born in Lions Charter.

Apples, figs and pears – picking and storage Get It Growing by Judy English

Home orchard fruit should be picked at the proper stage of maturation and this may (or may not) be when the fruit is “ripe” or “when it tastes its best.” For apples, figs and Asian pears, the time to pick is when the fruit is ripe. European pears should be picked before ripe and allowed to ripen off the tree.

The mighty apple Taste apples to make sure they no longer have a “puckery” astringent quality. The seeds in a ripe apple are black or brown rather than green. Lift the apple and twist slightly. The fruit should separate easily from the branch and the

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK

At this point, the word “weird” has transcended its meaning like “geek” or “nerd” at least in pop culture. No longer are those who love comic books or “Star Trek” given wedgies or seeking shelter in their parents’ basements (as much). These perceived nerdy things are now prevalent and generally socially acceptable. Along similar sentiment, it’s no wonder that pop-rock-comedy artist “Weird Al” Yankovic is back in the forefront of music. In the past year, Yankovic, who parodies and creates homages of popular songs and artists’ styles along with creating original tunes, celebrated his first No. 1 Billboard album last July.

Care of picked apples

stem should remain attached to the fruit. Apples that are to be consumed soon after picking should be fully ripened on the tree; apples to be stored should be picked a week or so before they are at their fully ripe stage. Be patient and check the apples frequently to assess ripeness. Apples picked overly early will never reach their “tastiest best.”

Once picked, handle apples with care. Gently place them into the basket to avoid bruising. Bruised apples spoil more quickly. Wash apples right before you use them to prevent spoilage (do not wash and then store). Keep picked apples cool to increase their shelf life. Kept at 34-36 degrees, fresh-picked apples usually will keep for several weeks, but some varieties are better than others. Avoid freezing. Freezing will rupture the cells of the apple and cause them to spoil. High humidity keeps the apples from shriveling, but do not get them wet. Placing a wet towel nearby can help. If you are planning to store the apples over the winter, wrap each fruit individually in paper. Apples and potatoes should be stored separately. The ethylene gas released by potatoes as they age causes the apples to spoil more rapidly.

Pear power Asian pears should be ripened on the tree. If left too long on the tree, Asian pears may develop a “winey” taste. They are ready to eat when they are sweet, crisp and crunchy. When ripe, Asian pears typically change from a greenish color to shades of yellow or orange. Lift and twist the pear and it should separate easily from the branch. European pears should be picked before they are ripe and allowed to ripen off the tree. Left too long on the tree, European pears will develop a gritty texture and the area around the core will become

mushy and brown. Anjou, Bosc and Comice varieties develop their best flavor when stored for three to four weeks at 32 to 45 degrees. Wrap the pears in paper to reduce shriveling while in chilled storage.

At DCC In Dungeness, Culver started on July 15, 1987, as an associate pastor serving with Pastor Neil Smith. He remained in those duties for 20 years serving in administration, adult, family and mission ministries. When he shifted to lead pastor following Smith’s retirement, Culver said his role really changed to emphasize teaching, preaching and developing core values and strategic plans for the church. In his time in Dungeness, the congregation has grown, the church remained financially stable and he says they’ve funded every cross-cultural team from the church. But numbers aren’t the difference maker for him. “A lot of pastors are all about the numbers — How many people are coming to your church? And how many programs are you running? — But are people growing deep spiritual roots in Christ? Are they deployed into ministry?” “Success is people walking close with the Lord,” he said. Culver says he “may be the pastor,

Plenty to cheer about

SHS cheer squad members share insights about their team by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

As football season rolls out, another team has been going strong all summer too — Sequim High School’s cheer squad. At 29 athletes strong for varsity and junior varsity, the girls have been training and prepping routines since practices began in June. “We want to be ready for the football season,” varsity coach Julie Romberg, a 2007 SHS grad and former cheerleader, said. They’ll work together to learn

cheers and dances that are 45 seconds to 1 minute long while slowly incorporating stunts. “Safety is first,” Romberg said. “We focus on perfection first and then progression. There’s a process.” She and junior varsity coach Kim King are both stunt-certified to ensure the girls’ safety. The varsity squad learns about a dozen sideline dances for games and performs unique dances at school assemblies through the school year. Some of the girls are in the school’s band and help coordinate with band director Vern

Fosket about routines and music for games, King said. Their schedules are about as rigorous as the teams they cheer on, too, with varsity traveling rain or shine to all of the football games while the JV goes to Port Angeles and home games. For the winter, they’ll support most of the basketball home games for boys and girls and will travel for the teams’ playoff games. In the spring, the cheer team takes a break until tryouts but they participate in multiple community service events yearround like the Back 2 School Family Fun Run, Walk for Alzheimer’s and they host a cheer camp in January. “The girls are honor students, fellow athletes, Link leaders,

leadership students and among some of the most committed to the community,” Romberg said.

Cheer commitment King said the girls share a passion for cheering and the climate among the team is like a family. “(Cheer) gives the girls confidence and self-esteem,” she said. At an assembly this year, Romberg said some former teammates showed up to see the team dance. “They cried because they wanted to be a part of it,” she said. Sequim cheerleaders come from backgrounds in cheering to no experience at all though. Team co-captain Morgan

‘Big Hurt’ relay on tap for Sept. 26 Sequim Gazette staff

Bring a team or try it on your own. Either way, there’s likely to be some pain involved. After a decade away, the Big Hurt — a multi-sport relay/individual race — returns to Port Angeles on Saturday, Sept. 26. Peninsula residents Scott Tucker, Tim Tucker and Lorrie Mittmann, along with title sponsor Family Medicine of Port Ange-

les, are putting on the event 11 years after the Big Hurt had its last hurrah. The race consists of four race legs: a 16.5mile mountain bike leg, three-mile kayak leg, 30-mile road bike leg and finishing with a 10-kilometer run. This year’s Big Hurt is limited to 50 relay teams and 50 individuals. The race starts at 10 a.m. with a mountain bike leg, followed by a kayak, road bike

and finally a 10K run. The race finishes in downtown Port Angeles next to the Red Lion Hotel and Hollywood Beach, with live music and a beer garden at the Red Lion stage. See bighurtpa.com to register or for more details. Event organizers are seeking sponsors and volunteers. To help out, e-mail to olympicadventuretrail@gmail.com.

For all the big numbers Sequim’s offense put up in the first two games, Friday night’s Olympic League opener at Kingston put the spotlight directly on the Wolves’ defense. Sequim defenders forced three key fourth quarter turnovers, capped by a Kane Stoddard interception on the game’s final play, to secure a 13-10 win against the Buccaneers. R i l e y C o w a n Olympic League tossed a first quar- 2A standings ter touchdown and Team Lg. Over. Brandon Stamper North Mason 1-0 1-2 added a one-yard 1-0 3-0 plunge in the sec- Olympic 1-0 3-0 Sequim ond quarter for the North Kitsap 0-0 1-2 Wolves’ scoring. Sequim’s defense Bremerton 0-1 0-3 0-1 0-3 gave up 269 yards to Kingston the Buccaneers but Port Angeles 0-1 1-2 snagged three interceptions — two by Noah Christiansen — and forced a fumble. Similar to the start of the 2014 season, the win puts Sequim at 3-0 heading into a showdown with North Kitsap in week four. Cowan got the Wolves on the board in the game’s second drive. After hitting Christiansen with a 40-yard toss, the two hooked up again six plays later with a six-yard strike. Kingston closed the gap to 7-3 in the second quarter with an Alex Barrett field goal. The teams traded possessions on the ensuing drive. After the Bucs’ Ali Chiquiti wrested the ball from a Sequim receiver at the Kingston 5, Christiansen got the first of his two interceptions and took it to just outside the Kingston goal line, where Stamper punched it in. A blocked point-after attempt left the score 13-3, where it stayed until halftime. Kingston looked to have the momentum in the third quarter, finishing a 58-yard drive with Chiquiti taking it in from the 1-yard-line. The teams traded possessions from there on, with James Thayer getting credit for forcing a Kingston fumble with 2:39 remaining that just about clinched the win. Arnold Black led Sequim ball carriers with 77 yards on 19 rushes. Cowan finished 8-of-15 for 81 yards, a score and an interception. Christiansen led Wolves receivers with three catches for 47 yards. Max English led Kingston with 15-for-27 passing for 163 yards while Barrett had 53 yards on 13 rushes.

Looking ahead The road ahead isn’t any easier, even if it’s back at home. Sequim takes on defending Olympic League champion North Kitsap in Sequim on Sept. 25; game time is 7 p.m. The Vikings (1-2) are coming off a 21-6 loss at Black Hills. It’s the second loss in a row, but both to two strong teams from the Evergreen League that played at state in 2014. North topped Sequim 33-13 in last year’s matchup.

Wolves race to four top-10 finishes at Oregon meet by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

These runners aren’t afraid of getting a little dirty; they’ve been here before. And yet coming off of one of their top seasons in school history, the Wolves reached new heights Saturday at the Three-Course Challenge in Seaside, Ore. Four Wolves finished in the top-10 in their respective races, helping Sequim’s No. 2-ranked boys win their division — even without Jackson Oliver, one of their top athletes — and the Sequim girls place third.

“This is one of the best we’ve done in a long time,” Sequim coach Harold Huff said.

There’s a lot of optimism in the pool for the Lady Wolves swim team. Despite a 112-56 loss on Sept. 17 in North Kitsap, several Sequim girls either made districts time, came incredibly close to a districts time and/or made personal records. Senior Victoria Fitzpatrick qualified the week before in the 100 free and last FITZPATRICK week in the 50 free and 100 fly. “She had some of her most amazing swims at this meet,” head coach Anita Benitez said.

One more relay team qualified for districts with Joie Darminio, Jasmine Itti, Sydnee Linnane and Fitzpatrick swimming a 1:57.69 in the 200 ITTI free relay. That same team swam the 200 medley to cut 5 seconds from their time (2:13.61) and come within 10 seconds of state qualifying. Jessica Craig cut one second from her 200 IM time (2:47.65) to come less than a second from districts while Linnane is close in the event as well (2:47.69). Nine other girls and a relay

After three years of building and coaching a junior rowing program on the Olympic Peninsula, Rodrigo Rodrigues of Brazil is headed to California. Rodrigues is leaving the Olympic Peninsula Rowing Association to coach a junior rowing program in Long Beach, Calif. John Halberg, president of Olympic Peninsula Rowing Association (pictured here, at left, with Rodrigues), brought Rodrigues to the peninsula in 2012 to develop a junior program that culminated in August with one of OPRA’s rowers — Elise Beuke of Sequim — placing seventh in the World Junior Championships in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Cheer

From page B-5 King has been cheering since she was 4 while co-captain Alysha Graham began as a freshman and was unsure if she really wanted to be a cheerleader. “Before I came into high school, I figured no one knew who I am, so I figured I’d try it,” Alysha said. “I was kind of a tomboy and I ended up really liking it.” Morgan said cheer is an opportunity for girls who like to be involved and to meet new people. “You never know what you’ll think,” Alysha said. “I never pictured myself here but it’s a blast.” Alysha and Morgan are two of six seniors on the squad including Allie Bean, Andrea Kienholz, Kyla Rigg and Amanda Sanders. Romberg said most girls spend one to two years on JV starting as freshmen to build up experience and the varsity and JV teams vote for their captains who help pick dances and with fundraisers. Previously, entering high school was the only local opportunity to cheer at length until the Wolf Pack organization started a cheer program two years ago. Many of the girls are coming into high school though with little to no experience, Kim King said. This year, the team is spread out among the grade levels, which Morgan said shows how each grade level is really involved. Sequim’s support for the cheer squad is high, too, the girls say. “Our school really supports us,” Morgan said. “We have a good spirit section and they tend to wear their colors according to their grade.

Competitive cheer Sequim cheer last participated in competitions in 2014 but due to costs and the time commitment, the team has focused on routines for

games and assemblies. “We were seven points from qualifying for the next stage,” Kim King said. “They nailed all the stunts. It was a good boost for us.” King said they might pursue it again but it depends on funding the music, equipment and travel while finding dedicated girls who want to put in the extra work. The Sequim School District provides travel for the squad each year with the football and basketball teams but uniforms and equipment are either rented year-to-year or paid for individually. Romberg said they hosted the first pep dance with

money helping the program. Despite not competing formally, the girls find enjoyment in cheer’s opportunities. Morgan said she likes assemblies most with the team. “We get to do dances and stunts and everyone is pumped and there’s a lot of energy,” she said. Alysha said she likes practices. “It’s an opportunity to grow and work with girls we don’t always work with,” she said. “That way we get to know each other.” Reach reporter Matthew Nash at mnash@ sequimgazette.com.

hear is really positive.” Teammates said they’ve heard horror stories at camps and events from other cheerleaders that some audience members will boo and/or throw food and drinks at them. “We’re treated well here,” Kim King said.

The Lady Wolves soccer team couldn’t keep the momentum going into their second week of play. Sequim opened with a win over Chimacum on Sept. 10, but fell to the Klahow ya Eagles 2-0 PHOTO in Silverdale GALLERY @ www.sequimgazette.com on Sept. 15. Sequim head coach Brittany Murdach said she was pleased with the way the girls played and that they even stepped up their level of play from the Chimacum game. However, Sequim had multiple opportunities to win on Sept. 17, at home against the Coupeville Wolves with three near-miss goals in the first half. Senior Gretchen Happe countered an early goal in the second half by Coupeville. She scored unassisted in the 73rd minute to lead to a tie bringing Sequim to 1-1-1 overall. Murdach said the girls struggled to stay focused during the game. “We are looking for improvement going into our first league games next week,” she said. The Lady Wolves traveled to Kingston on Sept. 22, and

Seems like old times. At home at Rick Kaps Gymnasium or on the road in Belfair, Sequim still has North Mason’s number. The Wolves dominated from the outset in a 3-0 victory against the visiting Bulldogs on Sept. 17. Above, Ella Christensen, left, and Kaila Sundquist go up for a block in Sequim’s three-set win against North Mason on Sept. 17. Sequim swept the two-match season series last week and ran their streak against their league foe to 10. Sequim hasn’t lost a match to the Bulldogs since October of 2008. The Wolves were scheduled to play at Kingston on Sept. 22. Sequim hosts rival Port Angeles on Sept. 24 before playing a non-league match at Centralia on Sept. 25 and battling some of the regions top teams at the Monarch Challenge in Longview on Sept. 26.

With athletes spread among Sea side’s three 4,500-meter courses — “easy,” “moderate” and hard” — Sequim posted strong efforts in each, helping the squads post top-five team finishes in Seaside’s Division III (middle-sized schools). SHS seniors Brendon Despain (15:25) and Chris Jeffko (15:42) placed fifth and eighth place on the 405-runner easy course, while fellow senior C.J. Daniels (19:46) was 17th on the 200-runner moderate course. Sequim freshman Ash Francis (19:58) was ninth on the hard course that featured 200 competitors. “That’s a pretty special freshman,” Huff said. On the girls’ side, SHS senior Waverly Shreffler was third overall on the 200-runner moderate course with a 22:30 finish. SHS sophomore Kiara Pierson (21:01) was 38th on

the 200-runner easy course and senior Audrey Shingleton (27:05) was 40th on the 200-runner hard course. “They had real good races,” Huff said of Pierson and Shingleton. Despain’s, Shreffler’s and Francis’ marks were tops in their divisions. Despain’s effort was particularly noteworthy, Huff said, because the senior is nursing an illness. “I think the kids like the race because it’s a very varied terrain: they run in sand, run uphills, they run through a mud pit,” Huff said. “And they’re huge races. You’re always surrounded by people to zero in on.” Sequim gets the second of its two regular Olympic League home meets Sept. 23 when they take on North Kitsap and Olympic. The Wolves then battle some of the bigger Seattlearea schools when they compete at the Bellevue Invitational on Sept. 26. About 60 teams participate in that invite, Huff said.

Sequim’s first home varsity football game was Friday, Sept. 11, against Coupeville. There was a pre-game salute to 9/11 victims and first responders. Boy Scouts Michael Klein (senior), Dylan Perreira (junior), Devon Biehler (eighth-grader) and Christian Nicholson (eighthgrader), under the guidance of troop leader Michael Cobb from Troop 1492, bore the colors onto the field as the high school choir, under the direction of John Lorentzen, sang a heartwarming version of “God Bless America” and the high school band, under the direction of Hall of Fame director Vern Fosket, played our national anthem.

The Sequim High School Open House is from 6-8 p.m. Monday, Sept. 28. The event begins in the cafeteria with a brief overview. Parents and guardians will then follow their student’s regular six-period schedule throughout the remainder of the evening. There will be 10 minutes per period allotted, with a 5-minute passing time between each period. Parents/guardians who would like to spend additional time with an individual teacher are requested to schedule a conference at another time. Following seventh period, refreshments, supplied by Carol Wagner’s cooking classes, will be served in the cafeteria. We look forward to having you join us for this evening! Building Successful Learning Communities in the Classroom is a method used to develop a classroom environment that fosters engagement in learning by creating a classroom environment that is physically and emotionally safe for the student and promotes academic risk-taking. Dana Minard’s sixth-period class is taking the challenge of the learning communities and has begun with warm-ups and setting rules to activities that allow students to be less self-conscious and more willing to trust classmates. The conclusion activity is a team building “Spider Web,” where classmates must get from one side of the web to the other without touching the web and only using each hole in the web once. Jorden Reed said, “Working together and trusting each other is important!” “I can get help from the people in my class and ideas when we are working on classwork,” Shawnta Henry said. Minard added, “This sets the classroom atmosphere for the remainder of the year. The rules are fairly simple, the students have had to trust each other and work together. This will pay huge dividends for them when working on academic real world projects.” Matt Duchow, school psychologist, trained Minard and other teaching staff in the application of learning communities. More information on Learning Communities can be found on the Sequim School District’s website (www.sequim.k12. wa.us/) under “Staff Resources.”

learn new ones. He not only learns the word but he learns to pronounce it correctly. An area of learning which is easily ignored yet critical for children is helping your child learn to sit still. When the child is focused and engrossed in a story, he is concentrating on what he is doing and this is helping him learn to concentrate. The reading together rewards him for his efforts to pay attention and remember the story. This is an area that many young children may need some additional help. The end result of reading together is a love of books. This opens up a whole new world to young children. It begins early in life but even if your child is late to begin reading with you, start today and you will see results down the way. If you are a grandparent or a neighbor of a young child, include reading as a part of your time together. Relationships between you and “your

child” will become closer and the bonds will increase with each story. One of the things we do each week at First Teacher is to have parents come with their children to our sessions when a reader from the community reads a story for the children. Then there is a craft of some kind for the children. But a special treat is available at the end of each session; then, each child receives a free book. It is special for the children to take home their own new book. We hope it is follow up with many sessions of the parent reading with the child. One little 4-year-old girl said she didn’t need new books for Christmas. She needed a book shelf for the books she had been accumulating. You can tell we have a reader for today and one for the future.

Weird

From page B-1 Since then he’s been on countless TV shows, appeared in numerous publications including a guest editor spot in MAD Magazine and he kicked off his Mandatory World Tour (more on this later). But Al* and his talented band have been at his schtick for more than 30 years and his song “Word Crimes” notched him another Top 40 single. This means he’s had a hit in each decade since the 1980s. Maybe you’re a casual listener or a diehard fan or completely ignorant but even in our small corner of Earth you can find his albums despite CD sections drying up in department stores nationwide. He’s morphed with the times and covered multiple genres and still feels fresh. Even though some of his references feel dated in earlier albums thanks to current technology, he’s become a pop-culture historian of sorts. Even an album release date can be a hindrance as some of the Top 40 radio hits and their artists come and go before his rendition hits the airwaves. But his fans, including myself, often prefer his takes. My buddies and I typically buy his albums their first week out and Al often comes up in conversation along with quotes from his 1989 feature film “UHF.” Al was actually my first album, a cassette tape of “Bad Hair Day” featuring hits like “Amish Paradise” and “Gump.” But I was familiar with his style from friends who owned his previous two albums — “Off the Deep End” and “Alapalooza” and I’d get listens here and there. One of my many memorable Al moments is learning the lyrics to “Harvey the Wonder Hamster” on a field trip from my friend Tim. We’d go on to sing it together on another trip later in the school year. In a way, Al helped me throw caution to the wind. Earlier this summer, I was caught blaring his newest album “Mandatory Fun” while driving and a car pulled up next to me at the stoplight. They must have heard an accordion or a familiar nasal tone because they were yelling “Turn it up!” So I did. With Al’s music, you can’t help but sing aloud. Among three of my friends, we always listened to Al on car trips. One song we always came to was Al’s original “Nature Trail to Hell,” a ridiculous throwback to the slasher movies of the 1980s. I can hear us singing off-key and laughing every time I

listen to it. I’ll never forget our friend Brian made a point not to swear and he felt singing “Nature Trail to Hell” was swearing. His solution was to sing his own version adding “h-e-double hockey sticks” or the letter “L.”

On the road Luckily, I was able to catch Al play one of the last North American dates of his Mandatory Tour on Sept. 14 at the Washington State (Puyallup) Fair. Hearing “Nature Trail to Hell” live was a long shot, but on the two-hour trip I listened through a few of his albums and even wore one of his shirts “Weird Al Is My Homeboy” from when I saw him in 2008. Prior to the show I had enough time to grab a scone and I stumbled upon the “Weird Al” VIP section where a few fans were walking out to find their concert seats. Husband and wife Scott and Gina of Joint Base Lewis-McChord said they’ve been fans for years, particularly Scott who used to have all of Al’s tapes. This was their first time seeing Al though. Gina said the show was a gift for Scott from Father’s Day and that they encourage their 4-year-old daughter to enjoy music by listening to Al’s music and showing his videos to her. Fans like us all had different exposure to Al’s music and I’ve found we all have our favorites. In a survey of my friends, none of

us have the same top songs, which I think shows the broad appeal and expansiveness of Al’s discography. Scott and Gina hoped to hear more of Al’s recent hits like “White and Nerdy” and “Word Crimes” and Al didn’t disappoint.

Hit the stage Al’s tour began in May but he didn’t lack any noticeable energy especially for a Monday. His instrumental song “Fun Zone” from “UHF” buzzed the speakers bringing the hair up on my arms (I was cold) to start and moments later Al appeared on the giant screens reenacting his “Tacky” parody of “Happy” by Pharrell Williams as he walked through the fairgrounds to the concert venue. This was my third time seeing him with my first go at the Oregon State Fair in 1999 with my friend Matthew and in 2008 with friends Brian and Mike, at the fair again. At the Washington State Fair I was able to stand center stage at the sound booth and take it in while snapping pics and grinning. The show’s formula felt familiar with Al and his band wearing far-out costumes relating to his songs interspersed with various videos of his cameos on TV and spliced interviews with celebrities like Eminem and Celine Dion. Al and company poured through their

decades of work from a newer favorite “Lame Claim to Fame” to “Smells Like Nirvana” to staples “The Saga Begins” and “Yoda.” I avoided Internet spoilers about the setlist and thoroughly enjoyed his neverending medley and a stripped down acoustic medley with more of his hits like “Eat It” and “Like a Surgeon.” To think anyone could leave a “Weird Al” show disappointed is more absurd than his lyrics. Speaking with another fan, Kari Schilling of Lacey, after the show, she said nothing can top Al’s shows. “Weird Al” shows are a coming-of-age experience in her family as her husband David’s first concert was seeing Al in the early 1990s. They even brought their two sons Calvin, 12, and Alton, 9, for their first concert to see Al, too. “It was totally awesome,” Calvin said. The two brothers say they’ve been listening for a while and that their favorites are “Albuquerque,” an 11-plus minute rock ballad, and “Eat It.” Despite those songs coming out long before they were born, Al’s appeal is for everyone. One of the best parts, aside from the show, was seeing and hearing people laugh to Al’s lyrics and bits probably for the first time. In another post-show interview, friends David and John of Olympia have been Al’s fans for a while but it was David’s first time seeing him and John’s fourth. John said Al’s shows have gotten better each time he’s seen him. David said he was pleased Al played songs off his older albums, too. But did he like the show? “Hell yes with a capital H,” David said. I would agree. “H-E-Double Hockey Sticks, yeah!” For more on “Weird Al,” visit http:// weirdal.com. For further reading, check out an article by Mayim Bialik (“Big Bang Theory”) here: http://groknation.com/ hollywood/loving-weird-al-yankovic-withno-apologies/. * Referring to Yankovic as Al felt more appropriate than sticking to AP style. I do feel slightly guilty after thinking of his song “Word Crimes” in relation to my journalistic standards. Reach reporter Matthew Nash at mnash@sequimgazette.com.

LIBBY is an American Bulldog mix, about 8 yrs old. Libby is a big goofy girl with a great personality! She may have to be an only pet, and she cannot go to a home with small kids! We will update more info soon!

MOVING SALE: Fr i. Sat. 8-5p.m. 91 Duke Dr. Furniture, tools, household items, appliances, and much more!

ROSIE is TERRIFIED of being at the shelter! She wasn’t getting along with the two small dogs in the house. We really don’t know much about Rosie’s personality because she is rather shut down in the shelter environment, but is slowly warming up. Rosie walks well on a leash and stays clean in her kennel. She will need someone experienced with dogs to open her up to the world!

ATHENA is the SWEETEST girl! Athena used to be good with other animals, 101 but as she matured she now prefers to be the ONLY pet in the home! p Rd. Co o n e ick Athena will need a very well fenced yard, and an owner that can keep a close eye on her (she likes to escape, and she’s very good at it!).

LADY is a sweet girl! Super friendly with people, and seems to want to play with other SUNSHINE ACRES dogs as well. However, she is NOT good with cats! Lady is a high energy dog that would benefit from an owner that can provide her with lots of socializing and Burling Rd exercise! She is not the type of dog that you can just have in your yard... She will need continuous socializing to keep her Blue Grouse Run Rd behaving like aCatlake good citizen.

Preventing fall sports injuries STORY BY BETH SANDOVAL, DIRECTOR OF THERAPEUTIC ASSOCIATES PHYSICAL THERAPY PORT ANGELES

Fall brings the excitement of a new school year, new backpacks and for many youths, the start of fall sports. In the United States, about 30 million children and teens participate in some form of organized sports. Each year, participants experience more than 3.5 million injuries, causing lost playing time. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of youth sports injuries are preventable. As your athletes take the field, here are some ideas to avoid injury: 1) Wear appropriate footwear Children’s feet grow, so make sure shoes are the correct size. Also make sure your child has the correct type of cleat for the surface on which they will be playing. If you are uncertain regarding what type of footwear your child should be wearing, talk to your coach. 2) Wear appropriate safety equipment This is particularly important with contact sports. Safety equipment includes things like helmets, shin guards and mouth guards. Make sure they correctly fit your child and all components function properly. Make sure your child knows how to take them on and off themselves. 3) Warm up Make sure your child arrives in time to participate

in warm up. Dynamic warm-up drills are an excellent way to prepare the body for an athletic activity. Note that 62 percent of sports-related injuries occur during practice, so warming up is important on both practice and game day. For a link to dynamic warm ups, check out: www. tinyurl.com/qcxecmr. 4) Stay fueled and hydrated All athletes need adequate energy to perform their best. For morning events, make sure your athletes wake up early enough to get a solid breakfast. For afternoon or evening events, have adequate snacks to bridge the gap between lunch and when they play. Children 9-12 years old should drink 1.5 liters or seven glasses of water per day. Teens 13 and older, should drink 2 liters or eight to 10 glasses of water each day. These numbers should increase on hot days and as exercise intensity increases. 5) Pay attention to first signs of injury Bumps and bruises are typical for children playing sports. Persistent pain is not normal. PREVENTING FALL SPORTS INJURIES CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 >>

Overuse injuries account for nearly half of all injuries. These can present gradually over time. Listen and talk to your athlete. If appropriate, discuss the situation with the coach and determine if the player should take a break, do an alternate form of conditioning, or apply PRICE (see No. 7 below). 6) Notice signs of concussion A concussion is a brain injury caused by a blow to the head or a force causing quick motion of the head. It is important to notice signs or symptoms of a concussion. If a concussion is suspected, the player must stop playing and be evaluated. Continuing to play puts the player at risk of Second Impact Syndrome. Second Impact Syndrome is when an athlete sustains a second concussion while still having symptoms from the first concussion. It can cause severe impairment and in rare cases death.

Research has shown that the first few years of a child’s life are critical to their development and later success in school. “Programs like baby storytime help parents and caregivers by teaching tools and techniques that support early literacy. “Music is an important part of language development, which is why baby storytimes at the Port Angeles Main Library are 85 percent rhyme and song. “Storytime programs also help build a stronger community of parents and caregivers who can swap ideas, share stories and learn from each other.”

Beating the stress of back to school STORY BY BRANDPOINT

Do you or your child have the back-to-school blues? If so, you’re not the only ones. Saying goodbye to slower summer days can be difficult. For almost three months, you felt free from the structure of the classroom and the accompanying homework. When school starts, it’s common to feel some sadness. For children who suffer from anxiety, this stress may be harder to handle, and it may stem from more than just pop quizzes and earlier bedtimes. These children need extra attention when the school bell rings. The best thing you can do to prepare your child is to give the gift of your time and attention. Instead of dwelling on things like tests and homework, talk about how to make the transition into the exciting new school year the best it can be. These tips can help to reduce the stress and tension felt by you and your child, not only for the first weeks of school (the hardest time to adjust) but throughout the year as well. 1. Connected communication Engage in a conversation with your child and ask what he or she is excited and concerned about for the school year. Give your child the freedom to speak openly and

avoid asking too many questions at once. You’ll know you are connecting when he or she starts volunteering information. When you listen to your child, and he or she can see the genuine interest and attention in your eyes and through your body language, they will feel more comfortable discussing the upcoming year. 2. Creative calendars Planning ahead makes adults feel prepared, which is a huge de-stressor. The same goes for your child. Younger children only need a day or two to look forward to a big change. Older children may benefit from discussing the big changes weeks before, especially if those conversations include working on things like organization, planning, prioritizing and sequencing (those important executive functions of the brain). 3. Visualize the goal Get specific and help your child visualize going to school. Have your child tell you or draw out the sequence of the day, from waking up in the morning, to dressing in an outfit chosen the night before, to what he’ll or she’ll be enjoying as her brain-boosting energy breakfast. The more your child can visualize his or her routine, the more he or she will be at ease when actually doing the routine.

The Port Angeles Pranic Healing Clinic, located at the Sons of Norway Hall, 131 W. Fifth St., is offering free clinics to the community. Clinics take place on the first and third Mondays of each month from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Pranic healing is an effective and powerful notouch healing modality developed by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui that uses “life force,” or prana, to heal physical and emotional ailments, according to a news release. This type of healing is based on two principles: the body has the ability to heal itself and the principle of “Life Force Energy.” Pranic healing work with ailments ranging from stress, back pain, asthma and arthritis to traumas, phobias and addictions. To make the most of a session, do not wear leather, silk or crystals; do not wash a treated area or shower at least 12 hours after the session (this ensures assimilation of energy for the purpose of healing instead of being washed away); and after the session, rest or follow your normal routine but no excessive exercise or activities. Pranic healing is meant to enhance and complement your medical treatment, not meant to replace it. For additional information about the clinics, visit www.portangelespranichealing.com or www. facebook.com/portangelespranichealing.com.

HEALTHY LIVING

AFTER A LITTLE OVER A DECADE, Port Angeles is reviving the Big Hurt, a grueling four-leg race that will take place downtown starting at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26. Back in 1997, the city asked the North Olympic Peninsula Visitor and Convention Bureau to put together an event that would bring people to town. After a brainstorming session with the Port Angeles Parks & Recreation Department, the Big Hurt was born. The event started out with only 65 participants, but it grew to more than 300 racers in the next two years. At the peak of the event, there were nearly 600 participants. The Visitor Bureau coordinated the event until 2002, after which it transferred to the Hurricane Ridge Public Development Authority. Consisting of four race legs — mountain bike, kayak, road bike and run‚ — the event has had a number of distance and location configurations over the years. The last year of the original event was 2004. The event is now being resurrected this year by codirectors Scott Tucker, Tim Tucker and Lorrie Mittmann, plus Title Sponsor Family Medicine of Port Angeles. “We feel that we live in a place with incredible outdoor recreation opportunities and wanted to bring back the Big Hurt to showcase our beautiful place and our amazing activities for the benefit of the community,” Mittmann said. “Over the years, whenever the Big Hurt was mentioned, the common sentiment was ‘someone should bring it back,’” Scott Tucker said. “It is a major undertaking . . . even more so than we thought. It’s like putting on four races in one day,” he said. This year, the team is starting small in order to ensure

they have everything figured out. Participants ages 15 and older can race solo in the Iron Division or as a relay team made up of two to four racers. There are 50 spots open in each category. Awards will be given for overall top three men and women in the Iron Division and top three overall teams. A portion of event proceeds is donated to the Peninsula Trails Coalition, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the construction, maintenance and promotion of the Olympic Discovery Trail and Olympic Adventure Trail.

THE HUB

The Big Hurt event central, or Hub, is located between the Red Lion Hotel and the Port Angeles Pier on Lincoln Street and Railroad Drive. Red Lion Hotel will host a beer garden and food concession at the Hub, which is open to the public and for race participants. Community members are encouraged to hang out near the Hub to cheer on race participants. Each participant will be treated to one free beer compliments of the Big Hurt and Olympic Distributing. A food table with free snacks will be available for racers. Additional food will be for sale by Red Lion. There also will be some live music in the late afternoon at the Hub.

The mountain bike portion takes place in the Foothills above Port Angeles on a combination of dirt logging road, single-track trail and paced road. The course will start on a gated dirt road on the North side of Little River Road. Riders will go through the gate uphill to the start a little less than ½ mile up the logging road. The Foothills trail is a multi-use trail, including motorized use. Some off-road riding experience is strongly recommended. The bike racer must be capable of racing/riding on public roads that are open to motor vehicles. The racer is responsible for knowing the course. There are minimal signs and no mileage markers on the course. Assistance along the course is not allowed. There will be a mechanic available at the start line for any lastminute emergencies. Cyclists competing on a team are required to be dropped off at the gate on Little River Road. There is very limited parking at the gate, so cyclists must be dropped off by their team; however, team members and spectators can park temporarily along the road and walk to the start line if they wish to watch the race start. Cyclists competing solo in the Iron Division will be shuttled from the Hub to the gate at 9 a.m.

Light-based skin treatment offers people a way to look younger STORY BY BUNNY CORNWALL, LICENSED MASTER AESTHETICIAN AND BOARD-CERTIFIED MASSAGE THERAPIST

As baby boomers age, the demand for younger looking and younger acting skin has grown. Many treatments and products designed for this are making their way into the mainstream, and one of those is intense pulsed light (IPL). First introduced in the 1990s, IPL represents a useful tool in the treatment of some dermatological conditions such as pigmented disorders, age spots, flushing, rosacea and dilated blood vessels. Intense pulsed light also is used for collagen stimulation and hair removal. IPL is different from laser in that it is polychromatic, non-coherent and broad spectrum. Light from a laser beam is very narrow, only covering a small spot at a time, while IPL coverage is several times the area and therefore treatments are much quicker. An IPL photo facial is a gentle, state-of-the-art approach to making your skin look younger and smoother. The process treats the full face, neck, chest or hands, rather than simply one isolated area or imperfection. A series of IPL photo facial treatments can rejuvenate your complexion without downtime or a

prolonged recovery process. IPL treatment is based on light absorption in melanin and hemoglobin. Treatments are most efficient in patients with light skin who are not tanned at the time of treatment. Pre treatment protocols include the cessation of the use of alpha hydroxy acid and retinols for one week prior to treatment. In addition, no UV (ultraviolet radiation/rays) exposure for two weeks prior to treatment and no use of medicines that would make one photosensitive. Pain tolerance is very individual from person to person. Expect some discomfort and a warming snaplike sensation on the skin during treatment. This is what you can expect from treatment; for freckles and age spots, the dark spots generally look darker for three to 21 days as the pigmentation comes to the surface of skin and is shed naturally. For veins, generally the skin looks slightly redder after treatment for two to five days. The vascular lesions dissipate into the lymphatic system for excretion.

Collagen growth will happen because the light bypasses the outer layer of the skin and gently heats the cells in the deeper layer of skin. These cells called fibroblasts start to produce more collagen which improves skin texture. Fine lines and wrinkles are reduced, enlarged pores, minor pitting and scarring diminish and fade. You will need between one and three treatments for successful reduction of pigmented lesions. If you want to maintain collagen stimulation,

treatment is recommended every six to 12 months. Hair growth becomes sparser with each session and all treated hair should shed within about two weeks. A note about hair — hair grows in constant cycles. Firstly, hairs are actively growing then they become dormant, and finally they loosen and shed, only to be replaced by more new actively growing hairs. Only hair follicles in the active growth stage are disabled by IPL treatments. Hairs in the dormant stage of the growth cycle normally remain anchored in the follicles for weeks or months, depending on their location, but their follicles
