Growlers, residents find uneasy peace Local efforts aim to lessen Navy’s presence

What value does a moment of silence within nature have? The question of values and quality of life are recently at the heart of some Olympic Peninsula residents as they work to protect one of the world’s few regions that support

temperate rain forests. For more than 40 years, officials at the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island complex have conducted electronic warfare training within Northwest Training and Testing areas, including at the Olympic Military Operations Areas that spans across portions of the Olympic Peninsula and extends off the

SARC pursuing study for YMCA parnership

Park district sidelined, impact fees deferred by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Big topics were front and center at the latest Sequim City Council meeting ranging from supporting new school construction and SARC’s operations to impact fees to options for a metropolitan park district.

City of Sequim shows support for school bond

City of Sequim delays vote on contribution While they consider a number of options, Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center board members are further pursuing a partnership with the Olympic Peninsula YMCA. In a 3-2 vote last week, the SARC board agreed to contribute $5,000 toward a study of the feasibility of a partnership between the two entities. SARC board chairman Frank Pickering, vice-chairman Sherry Nagel and board member Melinda Griffith voted in favor of supporting the study while board members Jan Richardson and Gil Goodman voted against. The study funding, Pickering said, is just the first part of looking at a potential partnership. Among other options board members have considered to help run the facility slated to close in September 2016 include:

coastline into the Pacific Ocean. Despite the Navy’s historical presence, within the past year a notice calling for changes to the training activities within the local training complex spurred concern among nearby communities. Such changes include the Navy’s continued effort to replace the EA-6B Prowler type aircraft with EA-18G Growler and the use

City councilors unanimously voted 7-0 to endorse the Sequim School District’s $49.3 million construction bond through a resolution on Sept. 28. City Manager Charlie Bush recommended supporting the bond saying “it shows solidarity with the school district, goodwill and support for the BUSH kids in the district.” Previously, the city council had not endorsed the school district’s two previous bond construction attempts in April 2014 for $154 million and $49.5 million in February 2015. In 2013, they supported the school district’s two proposed levies but on March 24, 2014, city councilors voted 4-3 against a resolution supporting the $154 million proposal. Councilors Ken Hays, Laura Dubois and Candace Pratt supported the resolution. However, city councilors voted 6-1 with Erik Erichsen opposed to offering “general support” of the Sequim School District. Councilor Ted Miller said he supports this resolution because “we owe it to our kids but it is simply not the best solution,” because he feels the state should be funding schools’

Stromberg named ambassador for peace with United Nations Wesley Stromberg, 21, of Sequim, was officially named a U.N. Youth Ambassador for Peace at the United Nations on the International Day of Peace on Sept. 21. Stromberg, of the bands Emblem3 and The Balcony, is pictured (at right) shaking hands with U.N. Secretary-

General Ban Ki-moon of South Korea. “He was chosen as an ambassador for his positive impact via social media using his voice as a platform for the message to find purpose in your passion,” officials said. “The Internet is like a consciousness that connects every person on

the planet and if you tap into that, you can change the world,” he said. Stromberg uses the hashtag #ForgiveforPeace on social media for more information. The International Day of Peace was established in 1981 and first observed in September 1982.

infrastructure fully. Erichsen agreed with Miller saying “our hands are tied. We have to do this to hopefully have the result we want to have, which is education for our children, which are things the state should be providing.” Dubois said she has supported the previous bonds and was disappointed city councilors voted down a previous resolution. “We all know how important they (schools) are to the entire community,” she said. In the city’s resolution, it emphasizes the importance of providing quality education to Sequim’s children and remaining competitive and attractive to professionals such as in the medical field. Brian Lewis, executive director of business for the school district, spoke about the bond to city councilors. The bond w o u ld h elp pay for a new element ar y LEWIS school, refurbish the district kitchen, add classrooms at Sequim High School and Greywolf Elementary School, repurpose two buildings at Helen Haller Elementary for Olympic Peninsula Academy, renovate part of the Sequim Community School for the maintenance department and demolish the remainder of the Community School. Lewis emphasized the bond would improve safety, increase space, enhance the learning environments and upgrade technology. Part of this includes putting facilities under one roof, such as at Helen Haller, to eliminate access points, and decrease lost instruction time while traveling across campuses, such as at the high school with band and choir students. Parent Dave Shreffler told the city council the community is at a crossroads. “We need you to show the

MPD postponed With discussions between SARC and the YMCA ongoing, and sentiment from other local agencies neutral on creating a metropolitan park district, the City of Sequim is backing off for now. City councilors voted unanimously, 7-0, to delay pursuing a vote on a parks district for the foreseeable future. Previously, city officials were investigating to see the likelihood of placing a proposition on the February 2016 ballot by December. Bush said they met with officials from the Sequim School District, the Clallam County Parks and Recreation board, Shipley Center, Boys & Girls Club, SARC and Olympic Medical Center and aside from SARC, they found most remained neutral or said not right now. “It might be better to do this at another time,” he said. “Without the county’s support, we wouldn’t be able to even get it on the ballot … Frankly, any time you run a bond into opposition your odds of success have dropped dramatically.”

Councilor Genaveve Starr said she hopes the school bond passes but voters would be reluctant to vote a few months later for a parks district. “We’ve been working on this awhile,” she said. “I’d like to see us continue to work on it.” City councilors also unanimously approved city staff continue working with SARC to assemble a coalition of organization partners to find options to remain open long-term.

Impact fees deferred Impact fees for new single family residences can be deferred sooner than later in the City of Sequim. City councilors voted 6-1, with Erichsen opposed, on Sept. 28, to approve an ordinance following Senate Bill 5923. Its intent is to help with growth and development in construction allowing applicants the option to defer the final impact fee total until final inspection, the home is occupied or on the closing sale. The state law doesn’t take effect until Sept. 1, 2016, but City Attorney Craig Ritchie said it allows the fees to circulate sooner than beginning the process next year. For the city’s 2015-2016 budget, city councilors will consider a $250 administrative fee associated with new development, which Ritchie said covers salaries and benefits of staff’s time tracking the process of the homes. Ritchie said if the fee is approved, they expect to adjust it every year due to factors such as inflation. He added that there wasn’t a way the city could track property sales in place prior so they’ll track them between the finance, planning and public works departments to follow final inspections. If the fees are not paid after 18 months, Ritchie said the city has an option for a lien on the property. City impact fees aid in various projects such as with transportation and parks.

community,” he said. “Quality educational services, benefits everyone. “I’m tired of hearing from this council that a yes vote tells the citizens how to vote. It does not. A yes vote sends the message that you care about education. It sends the message that you care about the future of this community and want to work in a collaborative effort manner to work with the Sequim School District.” Former school district employee Annette Hanson told city councilors the schools faced a similar situation in the late 1990s where they sought to build the middle school and update the auditorium following failed bond attempts. “It wasn’t until the council and other organizations in our community stood up verbally and in writing saying how important this was — then that’s when it passed (in 1998),” she said.

Sequim birding classes return “Landscaping for Birds,” the first in the series of eight classes in “Backyard Birding” is from 10 a.m.-noon Saturday, Oct. 3 at the Dungeness River Audubon Center, Railroad Bridge Park. Joe Holtrop, executive director of the Clallam Conservation District, will present important aspects of a bird friendly yard, including food, water, and shelter, with an emphasis on the use of plants native to this area. Following the class is an optional field trip (a twomile hike at the Dungeness Recreation Area) to see native plants and where they are growing. The series of classes, hosted by members of the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society, is intended for residents of this area who are interested in knowing more about birds seen locally each season of the year and learning how to develop good habitats for wild birds. “Backyard Birding” may be taken either as individual classes or in a series. The cost of each session is $5 and is free for anyone under 18. After the completion of five sessions, participants will be offered free membership in OPAS for one year. Call 683-4763 or see olympicpeninsulaaudubon. org.

Nearly every participant held a “Promise Garden” flower of a different color to show their own connection to Alzheimer’s disease. Blue represented someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia; purple was for someone who has lost a loved one to the disease; yellow was for those currently supporting or caring for someone with Alzheimer’s; and orange was for everyone who supports an end to Alzheimer’s.

Tooth Truth

When I started dentistry no one was using Titanium. Now there is so much possible because of it. We are able to replace teeth often times where they have been missing for years. Titanium resists corrosion, is biocompatible, and has an innate ability to join with human bone; it has become a staple of the Dental and Medical field. (The common alloy used is not pure titanium but is made with 6% Aluminum and 4% Vanadium). So if you have missing teeth that you prefer to be replaced with a free standing tooth rather than a bridge or denture, or, if you would like your denture stabilized and firmly retained, see what dental implants can do for you.

Free memberships for low-income seniors, funded by grants from the City of Sequim, the Albert Haller Foundation, the Halloran Foundation and others, are available. The Shipley Center is named in recognition of the generosity of member R. Leo Shipley, who donated his 51-space mobile home park, Baywood Village, to Sequim Senior Services to benefit its nonprofit operations and to help toward its goal of building a new center near the Washington Street exit off U.S. Highway 101. Shipley purchased 4.5 acres of the site in 2010 for the organization, with the remaining 1.3 acres purchased through the gifts of other generous donors in 2012. A capital campaign is under way to raise funds for construction. The mission of Shipley Center is to enrich the lives of adults through social, health and fitness activities, trips, educational classes, low-income housing opportunities and referrals to community resources.

Clare Manis-Hatler unveils a plaque on Sept. 26, with help from Ken Wiersema, president of the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society, certifying that the Dungeness River Railroad Bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It’s been registered since 1982 but Dungeness River Center supporters like Manis-Hatler wanted to make note of it for the bridge’s 100th anniversary. Sequim Gazette photo by Matthew Nash

Dungeness River Bridge centennial brings visitors, salmon upstream River Fest a hit, organizers say despite trestle closure Sequim Gazette staff

No trestle, no problem for organizers of the 16th Dungeness River Festival. Powell Jones, Dungeness River Audubon Center executive director, said there was a “huge turnout” on Sept. 25-26, and reconstruction of the trestle on the Dungeness River Railroad Bridge was a “nonissue” when it came to visitors. Typically, many elementary students bike to the event on Friday, but school leaders opted to bus them in, Jones said. Spirits were high with Smokey Bear giving highfives, music flowing through the Railroad Bridge Park, driftwood artists filling the River Center on Sept. 26-27, and educational programs on every corner with emphasis centered around the 100th anniversary of the construction of the Dungeness River Railroad Bridge. On Saturday afternoon, local leaders with the

Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, City of Sequim, Peninsula Trails Coalition, Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society and River Center spoke about the bridge and the park’s impact. Afterward, Clare Manis-Hatler, a board member with the Dungeness River Audubon Center, unveiled the new plaque designating it on the National Register of Historic Places. While it’s been on the registry since July 1982, organizers felt a plaque was appropriate for the 100th anniversary of the bridge. Since Railroad Bridge Park was created, ManisHatler said she looks at it as a success story because prior it was a place of mischief. “Now we’re teaching kids of all ages to love and respect it,” she said. “It’s an ongoing success.” Several sources said on Saturday the full bridge with a new surface is slated to reopen tentatively in December. On average, the bridge hosts about 120,000 crossings a year, Jones said. For more information about the bridge, River Center and River Festival, visit http://dungenessrivercenter.org or call the center at 681-4076.

fundraising through a nonprofit group; a collaboration with Clallam County and the City of Sequim via a metropolitan park district, and asking taxpayers to support a levy. Voters have rejected both levy (February) and metropolitan park district (August) proposals in recent months. “We’re in the middle of a long process,” Pickering said. “It could take months to make a decision. It (the study) is only one part of what we’re trying to do.” Pickering noted that an anonymous contributor is funding $10,000 while other entities are considering picking up part of the estimated $36,000 YMCA feasibility study, to be completed by Strategic Research Associates. The market study would poll current SARC pass-holders as well as members of the broader community, said Kyle Cronk, chief executive officer of the Olympic Peninsula YMCA. Results are expected in October, Cronk said. Though SARC, the multi-purpose athletic facility at 610 N. Fifth Ave., is decreasing hours starting Oct. 5, the board and staff estimate they will have to close the facility Sept. 30, 2016, unless another funding source is found. Hence, the study toward a SARCYMCA partnership. The vote didn’t sit well with Goodman or Richardson. “I don’t think they need our $5,000,” Goodman said of Olympic Peninsula YMCA. “We’re better served to get a proposal (without spending that money).” Gary Huff, Olympic Peninsula YMCA board member, said, “You need this information (and) we need this information.” A number of attendees at last week’s SARC board meeting voiced some consternation toward the board for pursuing the YMCA option.

gust, told the commissioners that failed proposal was their survey. Former SARC board member Paul McHugh asked board members to reconsider a proposal he gave them earlier this year that outlines a fee structure that he believes could keep SARC financially solvent. “Voters have decided they do not want to subsidize (SARC) … so it should fall to the users,” McHugh said. “If the survey comes back that says users are willing to pay more, you’ll keep it. If not, wouldn’t the YMCA pass (on a partnership)?”

City defers decision On Monday night, Sequim city councilors deferred on a decision to contribute toward that same feasibility study. Many councilors said they want to see where other funding comes from first before contributing. Councilor Laura Dubois said she wants to see a commitment from Clallam County commissioners. “We need to ask (commissioners),” she said. “That’s the official name of SARC (Clallam County Parks and Recreation District). They have an obligation to step up, too.” Councilor Dennis Smith said he was reluctant to contribute for a few reasons: one, that it set a precedent for others asking for money, and, two, that SARC’s board wasn’t unanimous in its decision. “If they knew this was the only way to get out of it, then why didn’t they vote unanimously?” Smith asked. Councilors Ted Miller, Genaveve Starr and Ken Hays all said they’d support the study funding because the city council made a commitment to help SARC. However Hays said he also wants assurances there won’t be fighting from SARC supporters over the YMCA taking over. City councilors tentatively will discuss the study again on Oct. 12.

Downtown visual surveys begin Volunteers help assess needs for ‘Neighborhood Revitalization’ by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Volunteers kicked off a visual survey on Saturday, Sept. 19, in Downtown Sequim as part of the Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County’s Neighborhood Revitalization project. Cyndi Hueth, executive director for Habitat for Humanity, said 18 community members from the Sequim Sunrise Rotary, City of Sequim, Wells Fargo and Habitat for Humanity surveyed two of four planned quadrants. They rated homes on if they may need repair for roofing, doors, windows, yards and more. Hueth said they’ll assess these first surveys and schedule a meeting soon with constituents from the neighborhood and groups, including church groups, to discuss next steps. Organizers plan to use $12,000 in grants from the Habitat for Humanity, Sequim Sunrise Rotary and the Rotary Foundation for Neighborhood Revitalization.

Previously, Hueth said they want homeowners to reach out to them for assistance because they want them to recognize the need. So far, Habitat has received one call from the assigned neighborhoods, she said, but most of their calls are coming from out of Sequim. “We want to focus on the Sequim residents first,” she said.

“We want to know we have X amount of qualified applicants and how do we get there.” With the initial grant funding, Hueth said they hope to help one to three homes depending on what’s needed. A date for continued surveying east of Sequim Avenue in Downtown Sequim is to be determined. Officials with the City of Sequim

able sum of money in building this road unless the board (of county commissioners) is willing to consider vacating,” Tyler said. Based on the new road design, Tyler said he expects the new road to be an improvement. The design uses modern road building standards, replaces an old and undersized creosote bridge across Meadowbrook Creek with a 61-foot concrete arch bridge and is built on ground averaging 1 foot higher in elevation — thus helping to eliminate periodic flooding. “From an engineering, road department and transportation standpoint, the new road plan looks really good,” Tyler said. “I have no fears it won’t work out as planned.”

A 2-1 vote Commissioner Mike Chapman was opposed to conditionally vacate the sections of road, but commissioners Jim McEntire and Bill Peach were supportive during the Sept. 15 vote, allowing the project to proceed. “I’ve generally been opposed to road vacations, as it can be difficult and expensive to acquire new rights of way to ensure public access remains,” Chapman said. “I’ve heard from a number of citizens who still have questions and concerns regarding the proposed project and I thought we still had time to try to mitigate their concerns before rushing into the road vacation.” Chapman questioned

In celebration of World Habitat Day — Monday, Oct. 5 — Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County is aiming to bring attention to the need for adequate housing around the world by offering the following opportunities for the residents of Clallam County to join in. While shopping at the following stores over the next couple of weeks, shoppers may make a financial donation to Habitat and sign their name to a World Habitat pinup, which is then prominently displayed at the stores: • Habitat ReStore, 728 E. Front St. in Port Angeles • Swain’s General Store, 602 E. First St., Port Angeles (donation boxes at registers) • Thriftway Food Store, 950 S. Forks Ave. in Forks Also, Applebee’s in Sequim hosts a “Hotcakes for Habitat” from 8-10 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 4. Tickets are only $10 per person and are available at the Habitat Store in Port Angeles. “Every dollar makes a difference,” Cyndi Hueth, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County, said.

whether the costs of the project have been fully explained to taxpayers and whether county officials have budgeted for the project given “final agreements aren’t in place.” “Should grant funding not fully materialize, the county is now required to build a new road and bridge according to the vacation agreement,” Chapman said. Tyler also noted public comments centered on concerns with traffic and access. Acknowledging the importance of preserving the “public’s right to access waters of the state,” Tyler assured the board during a Sept. 14 work session that the road vacations would protect the public’s access. “Legally, the county can’t vacate portions of county road to a private entity or to a semi-governmental agency, like a tribe, for example,” Tyler said. “But the law does allow this agency to turn the responsibility for the same property over to the hands of another agency that is doing at least the same thing and that is protecting the public’s right to access.” In this case, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife will acquire the now county-owned right-of-way. “We also heard concerns about traffic,” Tyler said. “From a road department perspective we wouldn’t expect traffic to change.” If any change occurs, it would be natural influx, as the area isn’t going to be “advertised” as a tourist designation, Tyler said. To evaluate

the traffic within the area, county road department officials plan to do before-andafter studies to calculate the volume and speed. To gather data during one of the busier times of year, the county plans to conduct a study during the winter crabbing season. When The 3 Crabs restaurant was open, about 1,2002,500 cars per day traveled the targeted stretch of road, Tyler said.

Taking shape Assuming the project continues throughout next year, by next December county officials expect 3 Crabs Road will end as a parking lot area in the form of a cul-de-sac and include three spaces and one handicapped space. More parking will be available with an 8-foot paved shoulder extending from cul-de-sac. Sequim-Dungeness Way still will join 3 Crabs Road, only east of the existing intersection via 1,385 feet of new road. Only after the new roadwork is approved by the county’s road department will the county vacate the agreed-upon portions of 3 Crabs Road and SequimDungeness Way for removal. During construction, use of the existing roads will remain, according to North Olympic Salmon Coalition officials. Reach Alana Linderoth at alinderoth@sequimgazette. com.

Growlers

Doug and Beverly Goldie say they can hear multiple Growlers go overhead nearly every day, while working in their organic garden at their Blyn home tucked away in the forest. Using landmarks for points of reference, Doug is able to triangulate and approximate the aircraft’s altitude and estimates some growlers fly by at about 3,000 feet.

of a fixed electronic transmitter on Navy property at Pacific Beach and up to three mobile electronic signal transmitter vehicles throughout U.S. Forest Service and Washington State Department of Natural Resources lands. The outfitted vehicles are aimed at providing a more “realistic” training scenario for the aircrew training for aviators from electronic warfare squadrons, Mike Welding, Navy public affairs officer, said. “Effective electronic warfare training requires sources of electromagnetic energy that simulate systems operated by enemy combatants,” according to the 2014 Pacific Northwest EW Range Environmental Assessment. “The emitters will be frequently relocated among the selected sites, challenging crews in determining the emitter’s location.” Based on planning and analysis within the 2014 Pacific Northwest EW Range Environmental Assessment, “over the course of a year, each mobile emitter would be driven out to one of the 15 sites in the Olympic Military Operations Areas approximately 260 times,” according to the assessment. The assessment estimates that given the available flying days per year, the mobile emitters would need to support about 11 training events a day, for a total of about 2,900 year. To do so, it’s estimated the mobile emitters would need to operate eight to 16 hours a day. However, to pursue their plans to incorporate the vehicles, Navy officials need permission from the U.S. Forest Service and Washington State Department of Natural Resources to access a possible 15 locations within

Clallam, Jefferson and Grays Harbor counties. In February, Peter Goldmark, Washington State Commissioner of Public Lands, sent notice to Navy of the Department of Natural Resources’s disinterest in allowing road access to the Navy. “DNR land as been publicly discussed as a location for the Navy’s proposed electromagnetic warfare training on the Olympic Peninsula,” he wrote in his letter. “Though we have not received a formal land use or lease application for this project, we feel that we are adequately informed to decide that we would not be interested in participating in this training exercise.” Hoping officials with the U.S. Forest Service will follow Goldmark’s lead, about 50 activists, many from Clallam and Jefferson counties, traveled to the Olympic Forest Service’s headquarters in Olympia on Sept. 23 to deliver a petition opposing the use of Olympic National Forest for the Navy’s proposed enhanced electronic warfare training.

Petition opposes use of U.S. Forest Service roads The petition had more than 125,000 signatures from people locally and worldwide. The decision of whether

officials with the Forest Service will grant the Navy access has been pushed from mid-month to early next year, Linda Sutton, activist with Protect the Peninsula, an opposition group based out of Jefferson County. “This was just one of those things getting rubber stamped through,” she said. Beverly Goldie, a Clallam County resident living in Blyn with her husband Doug, is president of the Clallam County-based opposition group Save The Olympic Peninsula and accompanied Sutton to Olympia. While in Olympia, those delivering the petition oneby-one stated in one word what the Olympic Peninsula meant to them, Beverly Goldie said. The themes that emerged were words like “spiritual, sanctity and sacred.” “There’s no environmental impact statement; there’s no policy and procedure in forest service or park handbooks; there’s no regulations of the Navy that address these themes — yet they were the reoccurring and most meaningful to the people that live here,” she said. Beverly and Doug Goldie first became involved with the community push back toward the local use of mobile emitters and associated Growlers because of their

shared appreciation for the area’s quiet beauty and the overall health and function of the ecosystems. “The initial reason for getting involved is that we were concerned about the creatures, biodiversity and delicate ecosystem that it takes to keep this beautiful peninsula like it is,” Beverly Goldie said. The Goldies’ reasons for being involved morphed within the past six months to beyond concerns of the area’s natural systems, but on to a personal level. Despite their many calls to the Navy’s complaint hotline regarding jet noise, they’ve received few call backs. “The last time anyone called us back was on June 24,” Doug Goldie said. As both previous teachers and school principals in California, the Goldies moved to Blyn in 2010 and don’t recall the noise of Navy aircraft posing disruption. Although the Navy’s use of the Olympic Peninsula as a training area has been ongoing, Beverly Goldie targets the transition from one type of aircraft to another as one reason for the increased noise and flyovers.

Changing aircraft Since 2008, officials at the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island complex have been transitioning their electronic attack squadrons from the Prowler to Growler aircraft. The transition is to be complete next year. Additionally, the increase of electronic attack squadrons operations at the Whidbey Island complex and the increase of up to 36 Growlers are being evaluated within the Navy’s Environmental Impact Statement that’s in the drafting phase. The draft Growler Environmental Impact Statement is expected for release in spring 2016 to undergo the public review process and comment period.

“The Navy likes to say they have been training here for over 40 years,” Beverly Goldie said. “But the planes that were flying here 40 years ago are not the same planes that are flying today and the planes that are flying today are not the same that were flying a couple of years ago.” Ba sed on t he Nav y’s findings of the noise study conducted for the 2012 Environmental Assessment, the sound level exposure of a Growler is one decibel louder during arrival than the Prowler, but it also notes a Growler is 2-8 decibels quieter in other flight profiles. “The enhanced equipment (mobile emitters) haven’t been put into place yet,” Welding said. “I think there’s a heightened sense of awareness.” However, based on the Goldies’ experience within past six months and audible and visible presence of Growlers flying over their home, they aren’t convinced it’s simply their level of awareness. “I think it’s unwise to deny people’s experiences,” said Diana Somerville, a lifelong environmentalist and longtime Clallam County resident.

Values

Somerville sees the opposition to the Navy’s plans as issue centered on the methodology and values more than anything else. “Maybe we need to change the conversation from how much can we stand to what does it mean to us to have this quality of life and quiet,” she said. The pristine and natural beauty found within the forests and coastline of the Olympic Peninsula “can’t be taken for granted anymore,” Somerville said. “We need local leaders to stand up.” The Goldies and Somerville agree the Navy and its need to train isn’t the problem, but it’s the location. The Olympic National Pa rk borders por t ion s of the Olympic Military Operations Areas where the use of mobile emitters and corresponding Growlers are proposed to train. Worldwide, the park is one of 197 natural sites on the World Heritage list under the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

tronic warfare training. “The airspace in the Pacific Northwest is relatively uncongested compared to other areas, and the varied, mountainous terrain provides a high-quality, realistic training environment for aircrews,” according to Navy officials. Other benefits include, but aren’t limited to, the Olympic Peninsula has the mild weather for year-round flying and proximity to coastal regions as well as existing military training routes result in more efficient training.

Growlers and mobile emitters Understanding the relationship between the mobile emitters and Growlers, Beverly Goldie and members of the Save The Olympic Peninsula, which held its first meeting last December and received its 501(c)3 status in June, are targeting the mobile emitters to lessen the local Growler activity. “Our goal is that use of the Forest Service roads would be denied to the Navy for the use of electronic warfare emitters,” Beverly Goldie said. Without the use of the mobile emitters, then the number of Growlers and increased training events wouldn’t be necessary, she explained. Electronic warfare training already is being conducted in the Olympic Military Operations Areas, but the Navy’s proposed training changes result in an estimated 10 percent increase to current operations, amounting to less than one additional flight per day. As is, Welding said, the number of Growler flights to the Olympic Military Operations Areas average about four flights per day. Though, because the Growlers aren’t flown everyday, more may occur on one day and then none the next.

Flights near Sequim En route to the Olympic Peninsula from the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island complex, two flight paths are located near Sequim, Welding said. When going to the Olympic Peninsula, the Growlers that pass over the Sequim area are usually at about 16,000 feet in altitude, but on their return flight, the pilots drop to about 7,800 feet as they glide and descend toward

ELECTIONS 2015

School board candidates talk timely topics Merit of Sequim school bond weighed by ALANA LINDEROTH Sequim Gazette

Three seats on the Sequim School District Board of Directors and a $49.3 million school construction bond pend voter support at the upcoming General Election on Nov. 3. Brandino Gibson, Citizens for Sequim Schools vice president, and Bryan Carter, a resident firmly against the bond, weighed the reasons driving the proposal at a debate followed by a school board candidate forum hosted by members of the Clallam County League of Women Voters on Sept. 23. About 60 community members heard the opposing sides of whether a school construction bond is needed. The proposed bond and anticipated $4.3 million in state matching funds would enable the construction of new high school band, choir and science classrooms, a new elementary school, four more classrooms and a gym at 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 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. If approved, the rate to repay the bond within a 20-year 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 property valuation. “By voting yes, we give our children equatable schools to meet current class size and educational needs,” Gibson said. However, Carter doesn’t target the district’s infrastructure as the problem. “When you go to school, you

Preparing for the November General Election, Sue Erzen was moderator for the Clallam County League of Women Voter’s forum and debate on Sept. 23 where the six Sequim School Board of Directors candidates William Payne, Heather Short, Charla Wright, Jim Stoffer, Heather Jeffers and Robin Henrikson discussed their abilities to best serve on the board.

go there to learn and you don’t worry about the building you’re in,” Carter said. Having talked with teachers, parents and children within the community, Carter believes “their main concern is the administration, the teachers and the drugs.” Although he admits some buildings could be “retrofitted and upgraded,” he doesn’t recognize the need for any new buildings. Instead, Carter turns to increasing the maintenance. Given the aged infrastructure, the costs to upgrade the older buildings to modern standards of safety and to create a learning environment for current and future teaching outweigh that of new construction, Gibson said. “We’re trying to prepare our kids for the future, but we’re utilizing antiquated equipment and antiquated classrooms,” he said. “Our science labs don’t even work. How can we teach current science in classrooms that don’t work?” Additionally, the lack of classroom space remains a reoccurring problem and only worsens as state mandates are locally implemented, like all-day kindergarten and eventually reduced class size, Gibson explained. “We’re continually putting kids in temporary buildings,” he said. “Currently our kids don’t have adequate, equatable class-

Turning to the campaign trail, Robin Henrikson looks to replace Heather Jeffers representing Director District 1, Jim Stoffer and Charla Wright are competing for Director District 3 while William Payne and Heather Short seek the Director District at large position. The questions asked of the candidates ranged from inquiries about the multi-million dollar bond, campus safety and individual priorities to whether the candidates agree with the Common Core State Standards. Candidates Short, Henrikson, Jeffers and Stoffer were quick to announce their complete support of the bond, but Payne and Wright expressed more hesitation despite their support of the bond. “It’s out of my hands and it’s already on the ballot and it’s up to the voters, all of us, to get it passed,” Wright said. “I can support it. I support the changes it can bring.” Payne wonders “if the community has said no twice by doing it exactly the same way, is the community going to say no again?” Although he didn’t have the

answer to his question, he said “it’s been proposed — so do I support it? I support passing the bond.” The question of whether the candidates agree with the Common Core, a set of K-12 learning standards developed to delve deeper into English language arts and mathematics, resulted in more differences of opinion. Both Jeffers and Stoffer support the Common Core State Standards, but feel the district’s implementation of the standards can be improved. “I have opinions about how things were carried out and implemented with the Sequim School District and some things that I think should have maybe done differently was prior to me being on the board, but as far as my opinions, I support the Common Core Standards,” Jeffers said. Stoffer also supports the “Common Core and what it will bring,” but like Jeffers, can see potential for better implementation. “I’ve seen a lot of success with it,” he said. “Our math tutors at the middle school have an excellent program that is raising the math skills of those kids, but what we need from the community is more math tutors to help with that.” Payne and Wright voiced their Reach Alana Linderoth at lack of support of the standards. “The quick answer is no,” Payne alinderoth@sequimgazette.com.

said. “I don’t support Common Core.” Putting aside his disagreement with the standards given they’re required, however, Payne too turns to implementation as something that “needs to be looked at,” he said. “We need to make it successful because we can’t make it go away,” Wright said. “ There are some def icit s with Common Core” that need changed, like giving teachers and parents the information, time and skills to fully understand the standards,” she said. Short and Henrikson were in strong support of the Common Core State Standards, but saw the need for parental support, too. It wasn’t until Short, who completed Calculus II, recently sat down with her child’s first-grade teacher that she admits she understood math. “I actually understood the concepts of it,” she said. “I think it’s an excellent curriculum and I support it.” Without falter, Henrikson agrees with the Common Core State Standards, as it both “increases the use on non-fiction text” and in math, it’s “more rigorous and coherent,” she said. However, she’s fast to point out that parents need ample support in order to help their children learn it. Despite the differing opinions among the candidates, a reoccurring theme of being a productive liaison between the community and district officials bubbled to the surface of most, if not all, the candidates’ goals. Following November, those elected will become part of the five-member board that “sets the policies that guide Sequim’s public education from kindergarten through grade 12,” according to the Sequim School District Board of Directors’ webpage. “The Board is the final authority on all matters concerning the district.” For information on upcoming candidate forums hosted by the Clallam County League of Women Voters, visit www.lwvcla.org.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A vote for optimism Thank you to the League of Women Voters for hosting the Sequim School Board candidate forum on Wednesday, Sept. 23. By attending, I learned there is a very clear choice in this election. Jim Stoffer, Heather Short and Robin Henrikson believe in our children and our community. They are each actively and enthusiastically working to pass the bond measure to give our children adequate, safe learning environments. Their opponents all went on the public record stating they do not believe the bond will pass. They were far more interested in talking at the forum about what to do when the bond fails. Do you want school board members that believe our children deserve a quality education in quality facilities? If so, please join me in voting for Jim Stoffer, Heather Short and Robin Hendrickson. A vote for these folks is a vote for optimism, not the pessimism displayed by their opponents. Dave Shreffler Sequim

When forests become the ‘Big Polluters’ We associate air pollution with big cities, but millions of people are feeling the impacts of pollution from wildfires burning from California to Alaska and as far east as Colorado. It is one of the worst years on record for forest fires and we will spend billions to fight the fires and protect people, homes and businesses. Mammoth forest fires have been around for centuries. In a single week in September 1902, the Yacolt Burn engulfed more than a half million acres and killed 56 people in the Columbia River Gorge and around Mount St. Helens. The choking smoke was so thick that ships on the Columbia River Guest were forced to navigate by compass Opinion and the street lights in Seattle, 160 miles to the north, glowed at noon. Don Brunell Triggered by a mild winter and low snow pack, this year’s fire season is earlier than normal and could be devastating. Just as damaging, these fires are releasing millions of tons of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. Last month, The Vancouver Sun published a Sierra Club analysis showing that, over the past two decades, British Columbia forests have turned from a big absorber of CO 2 into a big emitter of CO 2 . Between 2003-2012, B.C.’s forests emitted 256 million tons of CO 2 into the atmosphere. In the previous decade, healthy trees actually absorbed 441 million tons of CO 2 from the atmosphere.

An unlikely suspect The main culprit identified by the Sierra Club is the tiny pine beetle. Trillions of these beetles are suffocating healthy growing trees. Even though the infestation peaked a decade ago, it has turned millions of acres of once lush green forest into a barren moonscape. Huge swaths of central B.C. and parts of Alberta have been hit so badly that dead and dying forests cover nearly 100,000 square miles. The Sierra Club wants the British Columbia provincial government to invest more than $1 billion to improve the health of the public forests by reducing clear cuts and focusing harvest levels and fees on carbon storage. The Sierra Club wants the government to curtail harvests of mature trees, which they say store the

Demand whole truth from Navy On Sept. 23, in an article about the Navy’s hotline regarding the Growlers, it was reported that, “There is an Environmental Impact Statement being prepared to evaluate the potential environmental effects … ” This may have given your readers, the sitting ducks of Sequim, a false sense of security that a fair evaluation is being conducted. To quote the Navy’s own Environmental Assessment, under Summary of Impacts, here is what was NOT considered regarding the Electronic Warfare Range plan: “The resources that were not evaluated in this EA included geology, water, land use, cultural, transportation, socioeconomics, and environmental justice and protection of children.” Is that fair? The fundamental nature of the Olympic Peninsula will change from a feeling of peace to a feeling of war. Given what’s at stake, please provide the citizens with what they deserve — the whole truth.

But those are the trees most affected by the beetles. Removing those dead and diseased trees and replanting is the best way to maintain a healthy growing forest that stores carbon and emits oxygen. In addition, clearing dead trees and debris from the forest floor reduces the risk of massive wildfires that pump millions of tons of CO 2 into the air. President George W. Bush proposed a similar healthy forests initiative a dozen years ago, but groups like the Sierra Club roundly criticized the program as just a way to increase logging in public forests. On its website, Weyerhaeuser illustrates how growing forests absorb carbon dioxide, store the carbon and emit the oxygen. When harvested, the carbon remains in the lumber and wood products we use and recycle every day. Nowhere is the contrast between managed forests and barren forest land clearer than at Mount St. Helens. After the 1980 volcanic eruption, Wey-

erhaeuser salvaged 68,000 acres of its damaged trees inside the blast zone and replanted 19 million trees. In the adjacent 110,000-acre Mount St. Helens Volcanic Monument area, the decision was made to just let nature take its course. The result? The unmanaged land remains barren, with alders, willows and some fir growing in stream beds. Meanwhile, Weyerhaeuser’s managed forest is flourishing and reducing greenhouse gases — something barren land cannot do. Sierra Club, take note: When it comes to pine beetle infestations or massive wildfires, letting nature take its course is not always the best course of action. Don C.

However, responding to residents that continue to express concern related to the Growlers and noise they produce, a group of city officials, including Sequim City Manager Charlie Bush, visited the air station on Aug. 21. The trip was in lieu of Navy officials visiting Sequim to host a public meeting. The Navy has no plans to hold a public meeting in Sequim because the meetings the Navy did hold on the Olympic Peninsula proved “unproductive,” Welding said. “Activists took over the meetings,” he said. Having heard the concerns and experiences of residents and having visited the air station, Bush admits, “It’s hard to really know what the facts are.” In some cases, the complaints about Growlers may be cases of “mistaken” identity, Bush said, as the Navy’s aircraft only make up a small portion of the overall air traffic surrounding Sequim. Bush aims to monitor the effectiveness of the Navy’s jet noise complaint hotline. If the noise complaints persist and go unaddressed by the

If the Navy is not responsive, he encourages residents to communicate their experience to city officials and the city council. Additional ways of involvement include reaching out to organizations like Save The Olympic Peninsula, writing letters, speaking with local state representatives and local government officials.

The unique chance to tour the area’s farms began nearly 20 years ago as a product of the longstanding relationship between Washington State University Clallam County Extension and Friends of the Fields. Since 2010 and the merge of Friends of the Fields with the North Olympic Land Trust, officials with the trust and Extension have co-sponsored

Stebbins, available online, is a valuable guide to caring for your home orchard. sunlight, good air circulation and well-maintained trees and orchard site all contribute to a healthy and productive home orchard. Fall is the best time to plant your orchard. Remove the grass from the orchard area. Unless the soil is exceptionally full of stones, it should be ripped (dug up) 1.5-2 feet deep, in two directions. Ripping will mix the soil, improve potential root penetration and identify buried tree roots and boulders that should be removed.

Soil samples

Have a soil test done at the Clallam Conservation District. Orchard soil should be between 6.2 and 7.2. If pH is lower than that, agricultural lime should be applied. When the soil is ripped prior to planting, the lime will mix with the low pH soil, react with the acid and rapidly improve the pH. Judy English is a Washington State If the soil test indicates your soil is low in magnesium, dolomitic lime University-certified Clallam County Master Gardener. should be applied.

Farm Tour From page B-1

1,800 individuals with nearby farms and farmers. “For many people this might be the only time they’re able to get out on the farms,” Clea Rome, WSU Clallam County Extension director, said. To reflect the types of farms among the 300-plus found within the county, seven farms varying in different facets of the agricultural industry are participating in this year’s tour. The focuses of the farms range from commercial lavender production to a raw milk creamery, to a school. “We hope that individuals walk away from the event feeling inspired by the culture of local farming in Clallam County,” Rome said. A new addition to the tour is the historical Agnew Grocery and Feed store. “I think having the store on the tour shows the value of small and independent businesses and the connection they provide between farmers and the community,” Rome said. In visiting the store, tour goers will find antique trac-

tors on display, a small petting zoo, live music from local artists, a U-pick pumpkin patch, food and drinks and a fresh produce stand from the neighboring Johnston Farms. “We are super excited to be added to the farm tour this year,” Chris Frankfurth, owner of Agnew Grocery and Feed, said. “This store has made it 89 years now supported by the hard-working people of this farming community and we are proud to show the store as a place

If your soil test indicates a general problem with low nutrient levels, such as phosphorus and potassium, this is the most effective time to apply appropriate rates. If you are unable to rip the soil before planting, dig a hole the depth of the root ball and two or three times as large in diameter. Holding the tree in place in the hole, add water. Continue to refill the hole with soil, mounding the soil around the tree above the soil level. The graft union must be placed at least a hand-width (4-6 inches) above the soil mound so that it will be above the soil level when the planting soil in the planting hole has finished slumping. The bud union of the tree always should remain above the soil level. Add a stake adjacent to the newly planted trees to provide support. Fence the orchard to protect it from grazing deer and elk. If rabbits are a problem in your area, add a finer mesh material along the lower 2 feet of the fence. Water regularly to help the tree establish a strong root system.

that many generations can remember going as ‘When I was a kid, I remember … ‘” Other tour stops include Lazy J Tree Farm, Freedom Farm, Dungeness Valley Creamery, Nash’s Organic Produce, Jardin du Soleil Lavender Farm and Five Acre School, an independent school serving students preK through sixth grade. “Having a school on the tour is wonderful because you get to see how children can be engaged with agriculture at a young age,” Rome said.

Although the activities, demonstrations, music, food and fun differ from farm to farm, the entire day is family oriented, she said. The taste of freshly pressed apple cider from a 1935 antique cider press can be enjoyed at Five Acre School, along with guided walks through the Dungeness Wildlife Refuge. At Jardin du Soleil Lavender Farm, visitors can learn about caring for, harvesting and processing lavender and watch distillation demonstrations. Tour the packing shed, greenhouses and fields and see milling demonstrations at Nash’s Organic Produce. Then enjoy hayrides, barn tours of the milking parlor and interactive buttermaking and yogurt-making classes at Dungeness Valley Creamery. For horse lovers, visit Freedom Farm to see a 120-acre beef cattle and hay farm in motion and learn about the natural horsemanship school where pony rides, demonstrations and horse skits can be enjoyed. At Lazy J Tree Farm, take a hayride through the Christmas tree farm and certified organic orchard. Experience vegetable production and

see a large-scale composting operation, learn about beekeeping and honey processing all while listening to local musicians. Coinciding with the Clallam County Farm Tour is the North Olympic Fiber Arts Festival from 9 a.m.-3 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 3, at the Sequim Civic Center Plaza, 152 W. Cedar St. Throughout the day watch demonstrations on processing fiber, stroll through the market with locally produced fiber goods and visit the exhibition, “Fostered Fiber” from 10 a.m.-3 p.m., at the Museum and Arts Center. The fiber arts festival kicks off on Friday, Oct. 2, and continues through Sunday, Oct. 4. Visit FiberArtsFestival.org for the full schedule and more information. Lastly, after the tour, Nash’s Organic Produce is hosting a community potluck at 6 p.m. and a barn dance beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the packing shed, 1865 E. Anderson Road, where the music of Stringology and Blue Rooster will resonate through the valley. A separate event admission of $10 is required for all adults. Wine and beer will be served by the North Olympic Land Trust.

“Northern Lights” features Savannah Fuentes on Oct. 1. Submited photo

Fuentes’ Flamenco show hits Sequim S ava n n a h F uente s presents her latest show, “Northern Lights,” in Sequim on Oct. 1. Show time is 7:30-9 p.m. at the Gathering Hall at Olympic Theater Arts, 414 N. Sequim Ave. “Northern Lights” is a presentation of Flamenco as interpreted by three very different artists; Puerto Rican/Irish dancer Savannah Fuentes, guitarist Bobby de Sofia, and direct from Spain, singer Juañarito. Tickets are: general seating, $23, VIP seats, $35; student/low-income, $15; youths, $8. Seattle-native Fuentes has developed her craft in America (as opposed to Spain) and intentionally strives to distinguish her style as uniquely American. De Sofia hails from Bulgaria and incorporates his cultural identity as well a relaxed style into his playing technique. Juañarito is a young talent from a long line of Spanish Roma Flamenco singers from the Andalusian province of Jerez de La Frontera (known as the cradle of Flamenco). The son of famed singer Juañares and the nephew of Flamenco legend José Merce, Juañarito gained national acclaim in Spain as a result of his incredible performances on “The Voice” (“La Voz España”) this year. He will be making his American debut in “Northern Lights.” The performance is the first date on a 35-stop North American tour, Fuente’s most extensive tour to date. See www.savannahflamenko.com.

NK hands Sequim its first loss Wolves look to rebound with Oct. 3 non-league matchup with Centralia by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

North Kitsap had the advantage in numbers Friday night, but Sequim coach Erik Wiker said the game was won weeks prior. “NK owned the line of scrimmage,” Wiker said, following his team’s 27-10 loss to the defending Olympic League champs. “I think they worked out harder in the offseason and this is where it paid off.” Viking senior running back Cole Rabedeaux scored three touchdowns and his 33-yard touchdown scamper two minutes into the second half — a play that saw him break a number of tackles on his way to the end zone — gave the visiting NK squad a 20-3 lead. The Wolves struggled all evening against a stout, experienced Viking defense, but senior quarterback Nick Faunce led a third quarter pos-

session that seemed to spark some life in the Wolves after Rabedeaux’s score. Faunce found Gavin Velarde on a short screen and the sophomore receiver took it 33 yards for a touchdown with 8:23 left in the third quarter. But North’s next possession broke the proverbial camel’s back. The Vikings marched 46 yards on eight consecutive running plays before back-to-back possessions left them with a third-and-30 from the

Close. Painfully close. Sequim’s varsity soccer squad fell short in a pair of games last week to open Olympic League play. On Sept. 22, Kingston edged Sequim in penalty kicks for a 1-0 win. Two days later, the Wolves had a shot to knock off the visiting Port Angeles Roughriders after Sequim’s Adare McMinn scored a goal just seven min-

utes in, but Roughrider Maddie Boe evened the game before halftime. The teams played a scoreless second half, but a Sequim turnover in their half of the field led to an Emily Boyd score just two minutes into overtime, giving PA a 2-1 victory. “They played their hearts out (and) had an excellent game,” Sequim coach Brittany Murdach said of her Wolves.

The Lady Wolves swim team travels to Port Angeles this week with another team win under their caps. Sequim outswam Bremerton 124-45 in the Bremerton Family YMCA on Sept. 24, including three girls making districts time in more events. Jessica Craig qualified for districts for the first time this season in the 200 IM at 2:46.40 while cutting 1 second from her season’s best. Jasmine Itti charged past her P.R. to qualify in districts in the 50 free at 28.30, and Sydnee Linnane made districts too in the 50 free (27.80). So far, eight girls have qualified for districts in individual and relay events and a few continue to swim closer to state qualifying times. Head coach Anita Benitez said the girls had a blast at the meet and that away meets can be nice because it gives girls the time to bond. Last year the Wolves defeated Bremerton 121-62. Several girls made personal records and/or continued to cut times off their season’s best. Kaitlyn Davis cut 1 second from her 200 free (3:34.92) and 50 free times (42.01); Annie Armstrong cut 3 seconds off the 100 fly (1:23.14); Victoria Fitzpatrick cut 1 second off the 100 free (1:03.90*) and Carmen Wilwert cut 1 second off the 100 free (1:20.79) and 100 breast (1:30.57). Also, Aubree Young cut 14 seconds from her 500 free (9:05.70); Briteny Bergman cut 2 seconds off the 100 free (1:42.31); Holly Eiland cut 1 second off the 100 free (1:43.93) and 50 free (45.43) and Sarah Bacon cut 10 seconds off the 100 free (1:46.62) and 6 seconds from the 50 free (46.11). Also, Natalie Barker cut 4 seconds off the 100 free (1:41.37); Madeline Patterson cut .10 of a second off the 50 free (41.49); and the 200 free relay Team A of Jaycee Thompson-Porrazzo, Itti, Linnane and Fitzpatrick cut 1 second (1:56.6*). (* indicates a district qualifying time) The Port Angeles Roughriders host the Wolves Oct. 1, at the William Shore Memorial Pool. Last year Sequim lost 117-55.

VOLLEYBALL

Wolves sweep rival Roughriders by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

Nothing takes away the taste of a bitter loss than a big win against a longtime rival. Sequim rebounded from their first Olympic League loss with a three-set sweep of Port Angeles on Sept. 24. The Wolves (2-1 in league, 3-2 overall) won 25-20, 25-14 and 2523. “We were getting good swings on the ball; I don’t know if they (PA) had any blocks,” Sequim coach Jennie Webber Heilman said. “We were hitting at (particular) spots on the court. “We played really well as a team, not individuals,” Sequim’s Ella Christiansen said. The win came with a sliver of drama in the third game, when Port Angeles mounted a comeback to try to force a fourth game. Sequim shrugged off a trio of Roughrider aces to break a 23-23 tie with a pair of kills for the win. “You just try not to let it get to you,” Christiansen said of PA’s lategame surge. Sequim’s C-team and junior varsity teams also picked up three-set sweeps of Port Angeles Thursday. Sequim, playing without a pair of projected starters for the first few weeks of the season, dropped a four-set match to Kingston on Sept. 22. The host Buccaneers picked up their first home league win in two years. Two days later, still sporting a lineup with several swing (junior varsity-to-varsity) players, the

Wolves looked strong against their visitors from the west. “I think it’s coming together pretty good,” Christiansen said of the juggled lineup. “(The playing time) is good for the younger players.” That looks to change this week

when on Sept. 28 Sequim’s roster sees the return of two varsity players held out for academic issues. “We’re OK (now, but) we’ll get a little more offense,” Webber Heilman said. Sequim dropped a three-set,

The Wolves boys tennis team (1-4 in league, 2-5 overall) split its third week of gameplay. Sequim traveled on Sept. 21 to Port Angeles (1-4, 2-3) for a 4-3 team loss. No. 1 singles player Matthew Richards came closest for the Wolves in a loss going 6-3, 4-6, 4-6 against last season’s state competitor Janson Pederson. However, Sequim’s doubles teams gave them some team points with Justin Porter and Stephen Prorok winning 6-1 in both sets, Logan Habner and Raymond Lam going 6-3 in both sets for No. 2 doubles, and Casey Chapman and Dillon Liebert winning 6-3, 6-4 at

They tackle well.” Sequim committed seven penalties, four of them unsportsmanlike calls that extended Viking drives. “You can’t beat yourself,” Wiker said. “You’ve got to have discipline in doing the little things right.” Faunce finished 8-of-17 for 141 yards and an intercep-

Sequim looks for a bit of revenge against a non-league foe when they travel to Centralia on Oct. 2. Last season, the two teams battled to a 28-28 stalemate before the Tigers found the end zone for a 34-28 overtime win. Centralia (2-2) is coming

off a 13-0 loss at Kelso. Sequim and Centralia have played just twice, with Centralia edging Sequim 21-14 on a last-second score in 2A state playoffs in 2008. The Wolves host North Mason on Oct. 9 before hosting Port Angeles on Oct. 16, Sequim’s homecoming game.

Ex-Wolf of the Week

Taylor Balkan had seven assists and 17 digs for the Valley City State Vikings (Valley City, N.D.), but Dickinson State rallied from a 2-1 deficit to win in five sets in a Sept. 25 match. Balkan, a 2013 Sequim High graduate and junior at Valley State (2-3 in conference, 7-9 overall as of Sept. 28), is the Vikings’ top server at 93.1 percent, the No. 2 setter behind senior Stephanie Miller, and one of the Vikings’ top defensive players. Balkan, the former all Olympic-League player, is a transfer from Clackamas Community College, where she helped Clackamas to a 37-13 overall record and a 10-0 record in the NWAC and earned all-league honorable mention honors..

The Husky marching band and cheer squad put on a memorable demonstration for the visiting high school students prior to the start of the game. Band members got to sit in the stands and watch the first half of the football game featuring UW and the Utah State Aggies before filing onto the field to take part in the half-time show.

Welfare for Animals Guild

(360) 460-6258 www.petfinder.com welfare4animals@hotmail.com Sponsored by caring pet lovers. MARKEY is a young Newfoundland mix. Markey has difficulty trusting people. He will warm up to people, but it takes time. He appears to be more trusting of women than men. He has never been aggressive, his MO is to run away when he is uncomfortable. He was at our dog training program but was pulled early as it was just too much for him. This is a very sweet pup and worth taking this journey with him. EVIE is a purebred Shih Tzu, is 10 years old and weighs about 12 lbs. She’s a real sweetheart, loves her person and just wants to be with you.. She’s definitely a cuddle bug and snuggler. Her owner raised her from a puppy, so she’s been loved. The owner is ill and no longer able to care for her. Evie has had her wellness checkup, spayed, up to date on shots and microchipped.

HANK is a golden/lab mix, 7-8 years and full of energy. He loves people and would be best to be an only dog. He does love to play with other four legged friends, unless you are a cat, he will then get excited and chase. Hank is very gentle, loves car rides and going on adventures. He is looking for a home that will love him forever. Due to his size, very young children wouldn’t be recommended.

Keep Farmland for Farming By Tom Sanford

591415793

Driving or biking across the Dungeness prairie and delta, I always am awed by the open and beautiful farmlands, historical barns, rolling landscape and wildlife habitat. It’s impressive — peaceful, calming and idyllic. I silently give thanks that somehow, as if by magic, the wonderful rural character of this place remains intact. Since working with North Olympic Land Trust, I’ve learned that this beautiful rural landscape has not been preserved by magic, but by the purposeful and hard work of a community of passionate local citizens, landowners, farmers, nonprofits and government agencies including groups like WSU Extension and North Olympic Land Trust. In 1995, John Willits took his “Quacker Farm” in the midst of the Lower Dungeness basin and entered a land preservation agreement with North Olympic Land Trust. This agreement states that these 42 acres will be managed solely as prime waterfowl habitat into perpetuity — forever. With this first land preservation agreement, or conservation easement, John also began to form a vision for the lower Dungeness that would ensure that the lands best suited for farming would remain as farmland, those best suited for wildlife would be left for the wildlife and that all of this area would retain the rural character that is so valued by our community. Since, thanks to the vision shared by John and many others, over 1,200 acres of land north of U.S. Highway 101 between Sequim Bay and Siebert Creek have been conserved for farmland and wildlife habitat by local landowners, agencies and nonprofit organizations, much of it by the Land Trust. Across Clallam County, that tally exceeds 3,100 acres. On Oct. 3, you can experience the magic of the Dungeness Prairie and our wonderful agricultural landscape. The Farm Tour is an excellent way to celebrate the harvest with family and friends. While out on the farms, you’ll discover that four of the farms in this year’s Farm Tour have been permanently protected as farmland through private land conservation.

Dungeness Valley Creamery is one of the two remaining dairies in Sequim. The 38-acre creamery with its herd of Jersey cows are protected by a North Olympic Land Trust conservation agreement finalized in 2009. Freedom Farm, in Agnew, features a 44-acre agricultural easement with the Land Trust that is bisected by the Olympic Discovery Trail. This farm is a perennial favorite on Farm Tour for its pony rides and equestrian demonstrations. Lazy J Tree Farm, renowned for its Christmas trees and produce, includes a 19-acre Land Trust land preservation agreement along Siebert Creek that helps protect salmon habitat and is a connecting link in a wildlife corridor that stretches several miles upstream from the mouth of the creek. Of the over 700 acres Nash’s Organic Produce actively farms, over 200 are permanently protected by a variety of groups including PCC Farmland Trust and North Olympic Land Trust. In 2013, Nash began farming on the 24-Carrot Farm immediately following a community effort to purchase an agricultural easement through the Land Trust. Yet another Farm Tour site, Jardin du Soleil is a wonderful location to look north upon Habitat Farms and its 250 acres of prime farmland and pristine waterfowl habitat conserved by North Olympic Land Trust and private landowners over the past two decades. Though great strides have been made, the work conserving the remaining rural landscape from Agnew to Sequim Bay is not yet complete. Since 1950, Clallam County has lost over 75 percent of its farmland. Thousands of acres of rich fertile soils and critical habitat remain unprotected. The Land Trust is proud to be a part of a community that values its land base and that realizes that if we work together to conserve the farms, fish and forests of this land, it will pay back direct dividends to our own quality of life. Tom Sanford is executive director of North Olympic Land Trust. To date, the Land Trust has conserved over 450 acres of working farmland, over 11.5 miles of river and stream habitat and over 1,800 acres of forests, 450 of which are working forests.

Lazy J Tree Farm

225 Gehrke Road, Agnew Steve Johnson In 1955, Steve’s parents George and Eloise Johnson bought 20 acres and started a berry farm on Gehrke Road in the Agnew area. More acreage was added and in 1960 the family changed the focus of the farm from berries to Christmas trees and Lazy J Tree Farm was born. Steve took over management of the farm at age 16 after the death of his father and has built Lazy J Tree farm into the diversified operation it is today. While the primary enterprise on this farm remains Christmas trees, the farm also features a certified organic apple and pear orchard and organic potatoes and garlic. In 2007, the farm expanded into a composting operation which receives yard waste and other organic materials, and now sells finished compost and other side products. Children will love the large grinding machine and excavators that move the compost piles around, as well as a hayride through the beautiful apple and pear orchards and rows of Christmas trees. Members of the North Olympic Peninsula Beekeepers Association will be on-hand to demonstrate how to keep bees and harvest honey, and there will be a display of cider-making equipment for fruit harvested from the farm’s certified organic orchard of various apple varieties. Local musicians will play through the day: Bill and Rudy from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., then a surprise musician from 1-3 p.m. Lunch prepared by Steve McCabe from several Lazy J Tree Farm products will be available for purchase. Enjoy your lunch while listening to music and watching the kids play in a giant sand pile with buckets and trucks and of course shovels to dig with! The Farm Store will be open featuring Lazy J organic vegetables, garlic, potatoes, apples and apple cider. Other products will be available, too: local honey and jams, handmade soap and gifts. Take a stroll down to Siebert Creek and see some of the projects that the farm and the Lower Elwha and Jamestown S’Klallam tribes have worked on to restore this part of the creek for salmon. This portion of the creek and part of Steve’s farm are protected by conservation easements by the North Olympic Land Trust, preserving the creek for salmon habitat and a section of the farm for agriculture in perpetuity.

cows and the creamery building which also houses their lovely gift shop. Jeff and Debbie’s son-in-law and daughter, Ryan and Sarah McCarthey now own and run the dairy and creamery. This, along with the preservation of the land through a conservation easement with the North Olympic Land Trust, ensures fresh dairy products and more from Dungeness Valley Creamery for years to come! In 2006, the farm became a certified raw milk dairy. The milk and cream from cows grazing on pastures in the Dungeness Valley was famous for its high butterfat content ever since the European-Americans recognized the Sequim Valley as a rich agricultural region back in the 1800s. The McCartheys’ cows are grazing on some of the best and most abundant grasses in Dungeness where they spend seven months of the year. During the winter, they are fed alfalfa hay and treated to a small amount of corn and soy-free grain when they are milked. Each cow is named and registered through the American Jersey Cattle Association. Their milk and type performance records are carefully kept and the milking facility is immaculately clean. No rBST or any growth hormones are used. Farm Tour day at the creamery buzzes with fun and activities. Guided hayrides visit the farm’s pastures and grazing milk herd. Feel free to tour the barn, see the calves and milking parlor where the creamery’s delicious raw milk is produced. Interactive classes including butter-making and yogurt-making will be given throughout the day as well food vending from Curbside Bistro and Viking Ice Cream. Don’t forget to visit the petting zoo, a favorite of youths of all ages. Lots of fun and learning to be had by the whole family awaits. The McCartheys welcome you!

Jardin Du Soleil Lavender Farm

Dungeness Valley Creamery

1915 Towne Road, Dungeness Ryan and Sarah McCarthey Jeff and Debbie Brown started their first dairy in 1971 here in their home town of Sequim. In 1973, they moved to Whatcom County where they farmed for 16 years. Homesick, they came back to the area in 1989 and built their current dairy farm and home from the ground up. The farm is home to 38 acres of lush pasture, 60 milking Jersey

3932 Sequim-Dungeness Way, Dungeness Jordan and Paul Schiefen Sequim prides itself on being the “Lavender Capital of North America” and Jardin du Soleil is one of the most beautiful lavender farms in the area. The certified organic lavender farm was planted in 1999 on land that was part of a dairy farm established in the 1880s. Thousands of lavender plants on 10-plus acres create a wonderfully fragrant vista at the farm. Join owners Jordan and Paul Schiefen for a tour of the farm, including its Victorian gardens, ponds, fruit trees and fields of lavender. Learn all about how to care for, harvest and process the lavender.

Nash’s Organic Produce

1865 E. Anderson Road, Dungeness Nash Huber and Patty McManus-Huber Since 1979, Nash Huber and his crew have cultivated delicious, fresh, organic produce in the fertile Sequim-Dungeness Valley and brought it to the local community via farmers markets and Nash’s Farm Store. Over the years, new products, like organic grain, pastured pork, eggs, organic seed and dried beans and peas have been added and the acreage has increased to 650. The farm also mills its own flours and cornmeal, and rolls its own oats and barley. Nash’s Farm Store in Dungeness (4681 Sequim-Dungeness Way) features the finest organic and local produce on the peninsula, an extensive line of organic and GMO-free grocery items, local wine and beer, bulk items, gluten-free items and household products. This year, the farm will offer three tours (10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m.) of the packing shed, greenhouses and fields of the Dungeness Farm. There also will be milling demonstrations at the Farm Store, open 9:30 a.m.-7 p.m. daily. PLEASE NOTE: There will be no children’s activities, live music or lunch served on the farm this year. We are sorry for any inconvenience. Don’t miss the community potluck at 6 p.m. and a foot-stomping barn dance at 7:30 p.m. Enjoy the music of Stringology and Blue Rooster. Wine and beer served by the North Olympic Land Trust. No outside alcohol, please.

Freedom Farm

493 Spring Road, Agnew Jerry Schmidt and Mary Gallagher Once a dairy farm, Jerry Schmidt and Mary Gallagher have turned this 120-acre commercial dairy into a diversified operation that raises beef cattle and hay. The herd frequently can be seen from Old Olympic Highway, grazing on the rich grassy fields just south of the Agnew store.

The Agnew store is one of the oldest operating businesses in Clallam County, playing an important role in local agriculture since 1926. For years, hay truck operators stopped here to weigh their crops while their children grabbed an ice cream; the scale, no longer in use, remains on display. The cold storage building was in use until 1984 for families to rent freezer space. The building had to be torn down because of fire damage but there are still customers that remember their locker number; some of these locker doors decorate the store. Stop by and see how we’re trying to keep a bit of history in everything we do! There will be antique tractors on display, a small petting zoo, live music from local artists, a U-pick pumpkin patch and lots of local goods and drinks including sandwiches from Olympic Bagel Company. Neighboring Johnston Farms also will have a fresh produce stand.

HARVEST CELEBRATION 2015

Conserving Precious Water in the Dungeness Valley By Joe E. Holtrop, Clallam Conservation Executive Director Summer is always dry in the Dungeness Valley, but 2015 shattered records for low stream flows. Early settlers also struggled to eke out a living on the arid Sequim Prairie; that is until D.R. “Crazy” Callen convinced a handful of his neighbors to join in on a venture to deliver Dungeness River water to their dusty fields. Throughout the winter of 1895-1896, ditches were dug and wooden flumes were built to get water to seemingly flow uphill from the river to the prairie. Their hard work paid off when the first irrigation ditch was completed in the spring of 1896. Their success inspired the formation of numerous other irrigation companies and districts, eventually delivering irrigation water to about 11,000 acres of farmland throughout the valley.

DON’T MISS YOUR

Flood irrigation was the only means of irrigating until the arrival of electricity for pumping following World War II. Flood irrigation is most conducive to the growing of pasture and hay, which combined with the mild, dry climate helped the Dungeness Valley develop into a world class dairy region. By 1950, about 7,000 cows were being milked on about 700 dairy farms in the Dungeness Valley. Inefficient and environmentally costly flood irrigation eventually gave way to sprinkler irrigation. Stray salmon in the ditches — a common occurrence — was eliminated with fish screens at the canal head gates. Yet as recently as the 1980s, irrigators were taking as much as 80 percent of Dungeness River flows. The 1999 listing of salmon as threatened species under the Endangered Species Act brought with it both legal requirements

to cutback water withdrawals and funding for water conservation projects. Piping leaky ditches was identified as the most effective way to conserve water. Since 1999, over 60 miles of ditch have been piped, reducing Dungeness River water withdrawals by about 50 percent. The Clallam Conservation District contributed essential technical and financial assistance for the vast majority of the ditch piping. These projects address two of the Conservation District’s top priorities: water conservation and water quality. The water savings from ditch piping is obvious, but piping also eliminates the potential for contaminants to get into the irrigation water delivery system. In fact, many of the piping projects have resulted in significant reductions in fecal coliform bacteria loading to Dungeness Bay. In addition, improving irrigation efficiencies often results in a more reliable water supply and

less energy required for pumping — a benefit to farmers and energy suppliers. These benefits in turn foster more viable agriculture, thus helping to maintain farmland —another of the Conservation District’s resource conservation priorities. Climate change projections suggest years like this will be the norm. Gambling on snowpack for water storage is no longer prudent. Fortunately, like “Crazy” Callen more than a century ago, a few visionary irrigators and others are developing plans for an off-channel reservoir and are working on projects to divert high river flows to recharge the shallow aquifer. A reservoir would store water for late summer irrigation, while recharging the aquifer helps maintain late summer stream flows. These new efforts will keep water for salmon in the river and help sustain viable agriculture in the Dungeness Valley.

North Olympic Fiber Arts Festival

We are excited to be celebrating the 10th Annual North Olympic Fiber Arts Festival in Sequim — always the first weekend in October! Join us for this interactive fiber arts event with activities such as a museum exhibition, workshops, educational demonstrations of fiber processes, hands-on projects with children and adults, Fiber Arts Market of local artists’ work and fiber supplies, lecture and information about local fiber activities, groups, businesses and instructional resources Oct. 2-4. “Fostered Fiber — Remembrance, Remnants & Mentors” is the theme for the 2015 North Olympic Fiber Arts Festival Juried Exhibition at the Museum & Arts Center, 175 W. Cedar St., in downtown Sequim. This year the exhibition theme is about expressing the dedication to cloth, cherished memories and mentorship with gifts of knowledge and kindness, while cultivating interest in generations to come in the practice of fiber arts creation

and sharing of abundance. From first attempts to work with thread, yarn and fleece to refined finished objects of art, the fiber works that tell stories of fostering learning and living are desired. All skill levels are welcome to enter and inspire the next generation of fiber artists. The “Fostered Fiber” exhibition starts as the highlight on the First Friday Art Walk in Sequim on Oct. 2 (running through Nov. 28) and ends with a Small Business Saturday Show and Sale by the exhibiting artists. The festival exhibition has a unique, accessible theme each year to inspire artists to create new works or bring out older works that they haven’t had occasions to share. Some artists collaborate on artworks emphasizing the communal nature of fiber media. The idea of enriching mentorship, welcoming support and leading by example comes with responsibility and output of any fiber artist. Working with fiber and in the fiber arts community is about advancement and sharing to bring people up, not tearing them down. Always encouraging genuine growth, artistic integrity and teachable moments, the fiber arts exhibition at the MAC is an opportunity to experience positive inclusion, creative expression and economic enterprise in art. If you are thinking ahead, the theme for 2016 is “Material Measurement — Magnitude, Meaning & Makers.” Each year on Saturday

from 9 a.m.-3 p.m., we have an action-packed Fiber Arts Extravaganza full of free educational demonstrations, handson engagement for all ages and Fiber Arts Market. We are thrilled to be at the brand new City of Sequim Civic Center Plaza on the northwest corner of Cedar Street and Sequim Avenue. Visitors will have the opportunity to shop for items from fleece to finished products including apparel, household goods and supplies to create your

own fiber works. Demonstrations vary from spinning yarn, felting, knitting, hooking, weaving and hand-stitching. Learn more about local artists and fiber-related groups to join our growing and supportive community. Bring your friends and family to discover the many forms of fiber arts and make some new friends, too. Also on Saturday from noon-3 p.m. come to the “Fostered Fi-

ber” artists’ reception at MAC where you can meet exhibiting artists from near and far who may reveal the stories behind their elaborate work. On Sunday, we have workshops by local artists who teach various fiber methods that might include quilting, dyeing, spinning, felting, knitting and creating custom fabrics. These workshops are a great way to try out different fiber arts and discover your talent for color and craft. Visit the website for workshops and locations. This ongoing annual interactive fiber arts community event is made possible with the assistance of several local fiber arts groups, artists, fiber-friendly businesses and our many community partners including the Clallam County Farm Tour, Sequim Farmers Market and the MAC. It is produced and sponsored by Renne Emiko Brock-Richmond/unique as you with cosponsor North Olympic Shuttle & Spindle Guild, our local spinning and weaving guild. Excellent volunteers make this community event possible and we are grateful for their fostering natures and fiber arts talents.

HARVEST CELEBRATION 2015

Working together for cleaner waters Bob Simmons, Olympic Region Water Resources Specialist WSU Jefferson and Clallam County Extensions Here on the North Olympic Peninsula we are blessed with beautiful rivers and streams running off the Olympic Mountains on their way to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. These waters feed an abundance of wetlands, salt marshes and bays which in turn support a wide range of fish, birds and wildlife. Everything from people, elk and marmots to salmon, oysters and kingfishers depend on clean water and call this place home. These waters also supply us with some of the best drinking water in the world and are the lifeblood for our many local farms. Over the years in the Dungeness Valley some of this water has been harnessed from the rivers and streams and put to use on our farms, supporting everything from cows and carrots, horses to our beloved lavender. Indeed the bucolic nature of our farming valleys, with beautiful mountains in the background and incredible waterways make this a special place to live. These qualities attract many tourists, as well as an abundance of new households and businesses. All of this use of the landscape has taken some toll on the waters we depend on. Contaminants from failing septic systems, inadequately maintained livestock (cows and horses), pet waste and wildlife caused the Washington State Department of Ecology to add the Dungeness River and Matriotti Creek to its list of polluted waters due to high levels of fecal coliforms in 1996. Fecal coliform bacteria measurements are used as an indicator that there is fecal matter from people, livestock or wildlife in the water. Fecal matter can carry a host of viruses,

parasites, bacteria and other pathogens. In 2000, the Washington State Department of Health reported increased levels of fecal coliform bacteria in Dungeness Bay near the mouth of the Dungeness River and closed 300 intertidal acres of Dungeness Bay to commercial shellfish harvesting (i.e. oysters and clams) due to fecal coliform bacteria levels exceeding the standard for safe human consumption. The closure area was expanded by 100 acres in 2001 and again in 2003. These closures not only affect those who harvest shellfish for a living, but also the quality of life for rest of us who depend on and appreciate healthy landscapes and ecosystems. There are a number of organizations, local governments, tribes and citizen groups dedicated to preserving and improving the health of our landscapes. However, the reality is that it takes all of us taking personal responsibility to do right by the land and our waters. For those of us using septic systems, the county offers free septic system maintenance classes, both in person and online. Farmers can depend on the Clallam Conservation District for advice on how to best manage their landscape for productivity and water quality protection. In some cases the Conservation District can offer a portion of the money needed put some of the recommendations into practice, including septic system repairs. WSU Extension has been in Clallam County since 1915, supporting local agriculture, offering workshops, classes and assistance to farmers and landowners to improve productivity in sustainable ways. For homeowners, one of WSU’s best resources is the Shore Stewards program which provides online guidance for lighter pressure on the landscape, which can be found at shorestewards.wsu. edu. With all of us working together, we can ensure that we have healthy landscapes for us and future generations.
