Powell trial begins April 24 by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Meredith Claire Powell, 24, a teacher with Sequim roots, faces two counts of child rape in the third degree and one count of communication with a minor for immoral purposes. P o w ell, a 2007 Sequim High School POWELL graduate and University of Idaho graduate, had been teaching math at Lincoln High School in Tacoma since Sept. 4, 2012. She pled not guilty to the charges in Pierce County Superior Court on Feb. 7, a day after being arrested. Powell was released to her mother in Sequim until her next court appearance on Feb. 25. According to court documents, the Tacoma School District reported Powell to Tacoma Police on Monday, Feb. 4, for an alleged inappropriate contact between her and a 17-year-old student. Powell had written a letter to the boy’s girlfriend apologizing for “promiscuous” and “unprofessional” comments and texts sent to the boy. Police contacted Powell at home prior to her arrest, according to the documents. She waived her Miranda rights, telling police the boy was her student last year and he came to her classroom for math help and to talk about life issues.

Sequim hosts three-plus acres of available retail space Demand for space uneven throughout city limits by MARK ST.J. COUHIG Sequim Gazette

The departure of Krush, the bar/ restaurant that closed three weeks ago, left another empty storefront in town and opened up an additional 4,000 feet of lease space in an inventory that was already capacious. The Sequim Gazette recently conducted a very simple survey of commercial rental space available within city limits — specifically space available for retail operations. Given the number of nooks and crannies in the city and the constant movement of commercial operations, the survey isn’t likely to be perfect. The difficulty also is increased by the fungibility of many of the properties: some of the spaces last used for an office also are suited for use as retail space. And vice versa.

In 2012, the all-volunteer board at the Olympic View Community Foundation — then known as the Sequim Com-

Anyone, any time and anywhere. Those are the facts about sudden cardiac arrest. The brain has 4-6 minutes to receive oxygenated blood from the heart before cells start to die. To interrupt that possibility is why the Sequim School District recently has purchased 10 Automated External Defibrillators or AEDs and placed them throughout the district. “It just seemed like the responsible thing to do,” said Sonja Bittner, the district’s head registered nurse. During an in-service for all employees on Jan. 27, several dozen learned how to use the life-saving device from certified AED instructor Jeffery Hoyt of Cardiac Sciences in Kirkland. “If you can open a lid and put on the patches, you can save a life,” Hoyt said. Hoyt first explained the key differences between sudden cardiac arrest and a heart attack; “Sudden cardiac

In mid-January the owners of Krush locked up the doors for the last time. Bob Torres, the leasing agent for the Rock Plaza, said it may take a long time to find a tenant for the space, and for other vacant storefronts in the shopping center. Sequim Gazette photo by Michael Dashiell

Nevertheless, the results are interesting (see box, page A-8). According to the Gazette’s survey, there are currently more than 135,000 square feet of retail space for lease within city limits. That’s a little more than 3 acres under roof — just slightly smaller than the Sequim Costco. Demand for retail space is distributed unequally throughout the city. The success story in recent days has been found on the western

logical research. He also will discuss preservation and care of historical artifacts, which include gravestones. “Cemeteries are often thought of as being for the dead. I believe that they are for the living,” Bassett said. “The beauty of all cemeteries, whether they are very nicely groomed and well taken care of or long-forgotten and overgrown, has drawn my interest and attention.” Bassett, a professionally trained photographer and instructor since the early 1970s, has been photographing cemeteries since his teenage years in rural Illinois and a large part of his photographic career included historical photo preservation, photo education and cemetery and gravestone photography. He has been photographing North Olympic Peninsula cemeteries for more than a decade. “My interest in cemeteries began at an early age. I’ve

Clallam PUD sends fluorescent lights to users Sequim Gazette staff

Clallam County Public Utility District users recently received — or soon will receive — unexpected gifts in the mail. Packages of nine Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs) were shipped to PUD customers recently, including four, 18-watt EnergyStar Lumacoil CFLs and five, 13-watt EnergyStar Lumacoil CFLs. The lights were sent to customers to meet mandates of the Washington Energy Independence Act in 2013. An insert that accompanies the CFL explains the reasoning: “Washington’s Energy Independence Act (formerly known as I-937) requires that the PUD achieve mandated conservation targets. Compact fluorescent light bulbs are currently the most cost effective way for

the PUD to not only comply with the regulatory mandate, but also to maintain stable rates. Clallam County PUD is committed to helping our customers reduce energy costs. Compact fluorescent light bulbs save 75 percent of the energy used by traditional incandescent light bulbs. By installing compact fluorescent light bulbs in your home you can save both energy and money.” Despite the insert, Clallam County PUD received several inquiries as to why they were shipped the CFLs.

On Jan. 9, Arne Traceski, Utility Services Advisor, and Michael Howe, Communications and Government Relations Manager, discussed the PUD’s recent CFL distribution (why, how many, cost, to whom) with Todd Ortloff of NewsRadio 1450 KONP in Port Angeles. Go to www.clallampud.net/news_events/ readNews.asp?newsID=272 to find a link to that interview. All totaled the PUD mailed to 24,706 addresses. With nine bulbs per kit, that’s a total of 222,354 bulbs.

It usually has symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain and sweating. The onset is slow and most people survive heart attacks.” Hoyt further explained, “Sudden cardiac arrest is an electrical problem with the heart. There’s no coordination in contractions. The

If you can shock the person in less than 6 minutes, they usually survive; after 6 minutes they usually die.” Hoyt said sudden cardiac arrest is the No. 1 cause of death in the U.S. with about 325,000 deaths annually in North America. He added that 13 percent of workplace fatalities are from sudden cardiac arrest and it’s the No. 1 cause of death among young athletes. “The onset is quick and defibril-

That foundation has a return rate of 8 percent in the past 10 years, according to the Olympic View Community Foundation website. In late spring, Riesau says, the foundation will announce a new grant cycle. While the card doesn’t feature the perks of other cards that gives users airline miles or discounts at large corporate chain stores, Riesau says the card has a fair variable interest rate and directly impacts the community with its 1 percent reinvestment feature. The heart of the Olympic View Community Foundation, she says, is to support

Tietz also promoted and implemented the merger of the Clallam Housing Authority with the Housing Authority of Jefferson County which became the current Peninsula Housing Authority.

lation is the only way of changing an electrical malfunction. With CPR alone only about less than 1 percent survive,” Hoyt said. “Because the national average response time for emergency medical services is between 8-12 minutes, victims of sudden cardiac arrest rarely receive defibrillation therapy in time.” “The AED is used for both witnessed and unwitnessed collapses,” said Bittner, “and the machine decides if treatment is needed. Anybody on campus, students included, can use an AED. In a pinch nobody can be held at fault for trying.” Bittner said students are trained

Card’s local ties The credit card, as in the past, is managed by Sound Community Bank. While the institution has two offices in Seattle, one in Tacoma and one in Mountlake Terrace, its other two branches are on the Olympic Peninsula — one in Sequim, one in Port Angeles. The bank has other local ties: CEO Laurie Stewart is a Sequim native who approved the credit card program’s creation. Even the credit card’s hallmark motto — “Leave your legacy one swipe at a time” — was written by Brady Robb, a Sequim High graduate who now works at one of Sound Community Bank’s Seattle offices. The last time the credit

The number of publicly supported housing units increased by 257 units during her tenure with the Clallam Housing Authority and more recently the merged entity known as the Peninsula Housing Authority was a direct result of her tireless dedication and hard work, according to Peninsula Housing Authority sources.

Hoyt said that in addition to being a responsible action, the reason for the district’s purchase of the AED’s also is “so people are appropriately prepared to resuscitate someone in sudden cardiac arrest. This is the easiest AED to use out there.” Hoyt then demonstrated how to react to sudden cardiac arrest. First, shake the person and if he or she is unresponsive, have someone dial 9-1-1. Watch for the chest rising and falling. If the person isn’t breathing, grab the AED, open the lid, follow instructions on how to

The foundation board secured a two-year grant through the Joy and Benjamin Phillips fund and The Seattle Foundation in the fall of 2012, one that aided them in hiring an executive director. They brought Riesau, former publisher of the Sequim Gazette and Forks Forum, on at the beginning of 2013. “2013 was my education year,” Riesau says. Riesau and the board looked at ways to rebrand the foundation to the community, from changing its name to a new logo (formulated by Riesau and Troye Jarmuth, designed by Laurel Black) to getting the foundation out in the community via the mural project.

On the rise: Community foundations With the national and regional growth of nonprofits, community foundations are growing in numbers as well. These foundations are tax-exempt, public charities supporting nonprofits working within their communities. According to a 2010 Community Foundation Global Status Report, there are more than 900 community foundations in the nation, one of the fastest growing sectors of philanthropy. The Olympic View Community Foundation touts foundations like itself because it can ma ximize pooled community funds and impact of philanthropy, its ability to accept gifts of various sizes and types and, among other reasons, foundations can become a resource for understanding the needs of the community.

You won’t find Jane Stewart and Neil Burkhardt wistful about retiring after 15 years with McComb Gardens — they’re positively jumping for joy at the freedom they’ll have not being tied to a watering schedule that’s 365 days a year. The now 70-year-olds, a couple since 1969, say it’s “an old age thing.” They first moved to Seattle in 1972 for graduate school, and Jane became the director of a research center and Neil became a merchant seaman. “I made a career change in 1996 and went to school for horticulture,” Neil said. “I knew of a nursery for sale and Jane said, ‘Let’s buy it.’ — three words that changed our lives. That was in November 1998. Then it wasn’t much of a nursery. There were only a few trees, shrubs and perennials. We developed a display garden with unusual plants.” “We had lots of ideas,” Jane recalled. “We wanted the nursery to be a center for

horticulture and we wanted to provide education for us, our staff and the public. It just sort of evolved.” Neil explained that they established an educational series with world renown horticultural designers. “We believe we raised the level of ornamental horticulture in the valley,” he said. “We learned a lot from our customers in what they knew and what they wanted,” Jane said. “We put in rare and unusual pieces of trees, shrubs and perennials just for fun …” “… Because that’s what

creates a better gardener by getting them interested in more unusual plants,” Neil added. “It’s been fun for us to watch people who knew nothing about gardening become serious gardeners.” The many display gardens and the mini-forest of mixed trees planted over the years gave customers an idea of what the plants would look like in their own gardens throughout the seasons and Jane and Neil always welcomed customers’ questions. “We’ve done so much with the gardens and were the first business in Sequim

to use solar panels on our store,” Neil said. “We’re a green nursery and we don’t sell or use chemicals. And we’ve been the only one recycling nursery pots for years.” “It’s a stewardship,” Jane said. The first order of business is to liquidate the plants and hard goods. They plan to put the nursery up for sale in April but Neil is open to talking to potential buyers before that. They say they’re in good health and don’t have any responsibilities. “It’s been 15 years so we’re kind of tired,” Neil admitted. Jane will do more hiking, yoga, bird watching and reading. “We might garden! We haven’t been able to garden in years,” she said. The best part they say are the customers and other experts in the horticultural industry. “Our customers have become our friends,” Neil said. To them, Neil said, “Drop by and say hello — we’ll be around.”

Johnson said traditionally women are taking care of everyone else in their families and don’t think to do good things for themselves. “Women forget to take care of themselves.

From page A-1 leases as part of a larger success story, and as an indication that business is perhaps making a comeback in Sequim. He said there are advantages to leasing space within proximity to the big box stores. Because of the research conducted by the stores, there is a greater depth of knowledge regarding shopper demographics. “(Potential renters) can look at the median age, median income of the customers,” he said. “If you’re in a center that’s anchored by Home Depot, you look at their demographics. “ “Are you compatible?” As a result, Sumpter said, “There isn’t much left at this end of town, which is very positive.”

The 17-year-old boy said in an interview with detectives that Powell had texted him her home address.

Rock and a hard place Torres also handles many of the leases for Rock Plaza, which is now held in receivership by Columbia Bank. In addition to the former home of Krush, there are another 8,000 square feet of unfinished space, with another 3,000 square feet of what Torres calls “semi-finished space” — space with installed

boy on Jan. 17 in her classroom after an assembly. Court documents show detectives interviewed the 15-year-old boy involved in the encounter. He confirmed kissing and inappropriate touching. He said he had sent her a text asking if she wanted to stay after the assembly and she agreed. According to court documents, the boy told police that on the day of the assembly the two had engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior.

walls and floors. Torres said Rock Plaza, which is even farther from Washington Street, is an even tougher sell than the Walmart shopping center properties. Krush, he noted, is as big as an Applebee’s. So large, in fact, that “only a franchise” could likely fill it. But with just 6,000 people in Sequim, that’s likely going to take a while, he said. The largest collection of available space in Sequim is in the Bell Creek Plaza, which in the past two years has seen the departure of both Staples, a business supply store, and Del’s, a feed and farm Reach Mark Couhig at mcouhig@ store. The plaza now has 46,000 sequimgazette.com.

Court documents state a second 15-year-old said he and Powell had been sending texts to each other, including her sending him a nude photo. He said they kissed, touched inappropriately and she performed oral sex on him a few days following the assembly. In a second interview with police, court documents show, Powell confirmed she had performed oral sex on the second 15-year-old boy in her classroom while the door was possibly locked. She also confirmed she had engaged in inappropriate touching and previously had sent him nude photos. According to court documents, Powell also admitted to kissing and inappropriate touching with the first 15-year-old boy. They began sending inappropriate texts after New Year’s Eve. Powell told police she knew what she had done was wrong, the court documents state.

Schools respond Dan Voelpel, director of public relations with the Tacoma School District, said Powell is on unpaid administrative leave as of Feb. 7, which could change depend-

ing on the outcome of her hearing. The three students are receiving a custom support counseling plan depending on their individual needs, Voelpel said, and they are being treated as victims and are not facing any disciplinary action. Following the news announcement of Powell’s alleged conduct, Lincoln High School hosted a crisis counseling team on Feb. 7, which some students and staff participated in, Voelpel said. All new staff at Lincoln receive formal training called Boundary Invasion Training, Voelpel said, which was instituted five years ago after a teacher in the district was arrested for molesting two brothers. He said the training involves what is and isn’t acceptable between staff and students. Powell participated in the training. Kelly Shea, superintendent of Sequim School District, said Powell was a student teacher in Sequim High School in the winter of 2012 and a substitute teacher in spring 2012.

square feet of space available in the larger units, plus another 8,00012,000 square feet in smaller units. An additional 20,000 square feet are empty, but continue to be leased by Rite Aid, the former tenant. Leasing agents for the center declined to provide further details, but Sumpter said it’s hardly a lost cause. “I don’t think they need to do anything; they just need some new energy. At a certain time, that end of town is going to kick off because most of the new growth is going to take place there. And you have more vacant space.” He said the traffic flow isn’t particularly an issue. “There’s nothing necessarily wrong with that end of town. They’re just not being real aggressive.” Sumpter suggested that having a local leasing agent might help. “I think 90 percent of the issue for that end of town is simply perception. I’d lower the rate to 80 cents a foot and let every local person know that I’m the best deal in town. In time the rates would recover.”

He said there were no complaints against her during her time as a teacher and that Powell received standard substitute teacher orientation, which includes an online presentation and handbook on matters such as sexual harassment, prior to working for the school. Shea said he is not aware of Sequim schools offering counseling to students in relation to Powell’s case. Powell graduated from Sequim High School in 2007 and previously attended Olympic Peninsula Academy. She was active in sports, honor society and was named to the top 10 percent of her class academically. The amount of time Powell could be sentenced to has not been determined. Child rape in the third degree is considered a Class C felony and is punishable by up to five years in jail, a fine of $10,000, or both. The rape of a child in the third degree occurs when a person has sexual intercourse with another who is between 14-16 years old, is not married to the perpetrator and the perpetrator is at least 48 months older than the victim. Because Powell has no previous offenses, the charge for communication with a minor for immoral purposes is a gross misdemeanor, which could result in up to 364 days in jail, a $5,000 fine or both.

The Clallam County Sheriff’s Office is getting an overhaul this week with the retirement of Corrections Sgt. Matthew Blore and promotion of Luke Brown from deputy to sergeant. Brown’s swearing-in ceremony is scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 7, in the Emergency Operations Center at the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles. Brown officially began his

promotion on Feb. 1. A lifelong resident of Clallam County, Brown graduated from Port Angeles High School in 2000 and from Peninsula College in 2003 with an associate of arts degree in criminal jusBROWN tice. He has been employed by the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office since 2004. Prior to his promotion, Brown worked as a correc-

tions deputy at the county jail and as a chain gang officer for the past two years. On Jan. 1, he was assigned the duties of acting shift sergeant, working the swing shift at the jail. Brown is married and makes his home in the Port Angeles area with his wife and three children. Brown replaces Blore, who recently retired from the sheriff’s office. Blore retired effective Feb. 1. He worked for the past 16 years at the jail. Co-workers said Blore has been an integral member of the Corrections Management Team. Blore began his employment with the sheriff’s of-

Area burglar back to prison Sequim duo trains to fight fires Two men from Clallam County Fire District 3 are among the recruits now participating in the Washington State Patrol Fire Training Academy at North Bend. Shawn Evenhus and Ivan Hueter started the 12-week Recruit Academy on Jan. 23. The recruits will learn fire service principles through classroom instruction and rigorous hands-on live fire training.

Cody Runnion, 22, of Port Angeles, was sentenced Jan. 29 to 63 months of prison by Clallam County Judge Eric Rohrer. According to court documents, Runnion admitted he burglarized a residence in Port Angeles, stole a 2003 Chevy Tahoe and burglarized the Blue Mountain Animal Clinic and Hair Masters in Sequim. Runnion will serve this sentence after he completes a previous prison sentence from convictions including six counts of burglary and conspiracy to commit robbery, according to court records. Runnion also has been convicted of drug possession, theft, forgery and identity theft. He is required to pay court costs and restitution to the victims of the burglaries and vehicle theft.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To submit a letter

A new way? Often, in a community like this, in a nation like this, one finds themselves presented with an ever more polarizing question: “Republican or Democrat?” While we may trend toward one party or the other, based on our wealth, our age and other factors, one can find a general discontent with both big parties today. Both have passed laws in the past slowly taking away freedoms after 9/11 and both take large amounts of lobbyist money. Sure, many of us slightly prefer one party to the other, but in the end, are either of them radically better than the other? It is because of this, when asked “the Republican or the Democratic party?” I proudly respond “Modern Whig Party.” A small party for sure, but one that has new and balanced ideas and not just more platitudes-based screaming.

On the road to socialism Anyone noticed that Obama doesn’t show any great attachment to the global warming “theory”? No emotional support for it? But typically he has taken full advantage of every wild scheme that the “Greens” have promoted, or that the administration dreams up. Current and previous Federal Departments of Propagandizing [Education], and of EPA, HHS, etc., have produced thousands of pages of restrictions, regulations and condemnations creating, not reducing, pollutants in the air and trash sites while significantly increasing costs for businesses, and, therefore, for the consumer. There is the dictatorially draconian attempt to eliminate coal as an effective, inexpensive generator of power, based on the false notion of it destroying the atmosphere. Now the “illegalization” of incandescent light bulbs to be replaced by much more expensive bulbs not living up to their expected life. This Executive Order will affect the expense of every household, business, and government activity. What will it really accomplish? Where are the thorough and objective studies and hearings on alternatives such as a phasing out if that conclusion is scientifically, not politically, established? But the ultra-liberals ignore facts as they force expensive power and light costs upon people and the economy. Simultaneously fattening campaign funds, both from those innocently believing and those invested in subsidized “green” businesses. The Obama Administration marches onward in its drive to Socialism. The pace sharply increasing to transpose as much as possible of the economy this year before the support of the dictatorial Socialist Senate majority is voted out. Paul Hanway Sequim

When nothing trickles down The rich keep getting richer. Income disparity in this country is at record levels. We haven’t seen such a huge chasm between rich and poor since just before the big crash of 1928. Internationally, we rank 63rd, just above Uruguay and Uganda, according to the new documentary, “Inequality for All.” The Center for Community Design will offer a free public showing of “Inequality for All” at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 5, at the Elwha Klallam Heritage Center (First and Peabody streets, Port Angeles). In this lively — and often humorous — examination of the decline of our middle class, Robert Reich shows how we got into this particular mess. Reich is a well-regarded political commentator, late-night talk show guest and popular public policy profesGREENING THE sor at the University COMMONS of California, Berkeley. One reason why the Diana Somerville rich keep getting richer while the middle class keeps losing ground: the ultra-rich don’t pay their share. The U.S. prospered and the middle class thrived in the Eisenhower era, when the richest paid a tax rate of 90 percent or more. It makes no sense, as billionaire Warren Buffett famously noted, to have his secretary paying more of her income than he does. Today businesses, banks and billionaires hyperventilate and unleash their armies of lobbyists at the mention of raising taxes, all the while sitting on staggering wealth, searching for places to invest. The average CEO of an S&P 500 company made 354 times the average wages of rank-and-file workers in 2012, according to Executive Paywatch. But they don’t just make scads more money than their own employees; U.S. CEOs also make far more than CEOs of comparably sized companies in other developed countries. The rising economic tide has “lifted the CEO’s yacht and left the workers bailing like hell to stay afloat,” one financial writer observed, a pattern that’s unsustainable.

These days Shelli Robb-Kahler is executive director of the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce. She grew up “right here in Sequim.” She recently recalled one of many aerial adventures she shared with her dad and her three sisters.

“My oldest sister, Laurie, was stationed on Whidbey Island. Her husband was in the Navy. My dad had several airplanes and we would sometimes take a jaunt over there. It was a short flight. We had a CB, an amphibious airplane that also landed in the water. It was a very loud airplane, so most everybody in Sequim would joke that ‘Duke was taking off’ because it was so loud you could hear it all over town. So one day we took off and brought Laurie back to Whidbey Island. There were four of us. My father was flying, Laurie, my younger sister Cindy and me. I noticed on the way over my dad and my oldest sister were having a lot of conversations and he was fiddling around a lot. There’s a 12-year gap between my oldest sister and me, so I was pretty young. I was probably 11 or 12. I was aware of what was going on but not completely aware. So anyway, we landed and my sister got out. We were ready to take off to go back to Sequim, and I remember my oldest sister saying, ‘Tighten your seat belts and be good girls on the way home because your dad needs to focus on the airplane.’ So we knew that meant to be quiet and shut up and don’t say anything. We took off, and all the way home I remember my dad pumping and pumping and pumping. I wasn’t completely aware of what was going on but I knew it had something to do with the landing gear because he was pumping the manual landing gear. So we got back to Sequim and we kept circling the air strip.

We kept flying and flying and circling and circling. And my mom kept calling on the radio up to the CB because that was normal procedure. She was asking my father why we continued to circle and my father refused to answer. And being a good girl, I didn’t say anything. So we did this process for — I don’t know, it seemed like an hour, but probably wasn’t. And finally my dad said, ‘I want you to tighten up your seat belts and hold on tight.’ Of course, we didn’t know what was going on. It turns out he couldn’t get the landing gear down, but thank God this was an amphibious aircraft and the landing strip was grass so we just slid in on the belly. We got out and we were fine. Then my father proceeded to get the largest tow truck to bring the plane over to the shop so he could work on it. He had been circling the airfield to burn off the excess fuel before landing. My mother was furious for two reasons. No. 1, because my father had refused to answer the radio, and two, because he was flying around with her precious cargo, and she knew he was fully capable of landing it out at our cabin at Sequim Bay State Park on the water. But he knew he wouldn’t be able to work on it there because it would be in the water. I don’t want to make it sound too bad. It wasn’t horribly risky, but it’s one of the many, many adventures we had with my father and his planes.” Everyone has a story and now they have a place to tell it.

A closer look at the minimum wage issue Recently, Snohomish County state representatives Mike Sells and June Robinson, D-Everett, Cindy Ryu, D-Shoreline, Derek Stanford and Luis Moscoso, DShoreline, and Mary Helen Roberts, D-Edmonds, joined Jesslyn Farrell, D-Seattle, in proposing

A-10

to increase our state’s minimum wage to $10 in 2015, $11 in 2016 and $12 in 2017. It is about time. Our minimum wage has steadily fallen away from its high point in 1968. That was 35 years ago. And yet, worker productivity has almost doubled since then.

Up to 1968, increases in the minimum wage kept up proportionately with productivity increases. That made sense, as the gains in productivity were in that way equitably shared between employers and employees. Workers could increase their ev-

eryday purchases and businesses could increase their investments (or just enjoy greater profits). But after 1968, minimum wage increases tailed off, while productivity continued to increase.

Greening From page A-10

One simple way to get our sluggish economy moving: Increase the minimum wage. Given bigger paychecks, the single parents, cash-strapped students and other minimum wage workers will spend their cash to improve their lives and the lives of their families. They’ll take the family out to eat, buy the kids new shoes or replace that old refrigerator. T hey don’t hoard money, they become consumers with money to spend. How big an increase is still being discussed by st ates and cities alike. T here’s no one-size-fits-all answer, although Sen. Elizabeth Warren calculated that $22 an hour would bring minimum wage earners in line with increases in productiv-

ity. Companies that have become hugely profitable by underpaying workers could easily afford such a wage increase while hardly diminishing their profits. By contrast, small local businesses and startups would be crippled.

No easy fixes Change is no slam-dunk. A simple SEC rule change, requiring companies to disclose their CEO-to-worker pay ratio, has met stiff opposition. W h a t about greed? some ask. I never quite understood the dog-inthe-manger combination o f s el f i s h ness, greed and anger of t h o s e wh o already have more money than anyone could spend in several lifetimes until Sam Polk’s New York Times essay, “For the Love of Money.” A former hedge fund trader, he grew furious at receiving

a $3.6 million bonus — because it wasn’t enough. He then began to realize he was addicted to money. When addicts need their fix, reason means nothing to them. They go to unbelievable extremes to protect their supplies and allow nothing to stand in their way. Not laws or family. Not caring or empathy. Not the teachings of every major religion to treat others as you want to be treated. An intriguing way to reduce income disparity is by giving everyone a basic income, simply for being. Although this may sound radical, it’s an idea Thomas Paine embraced and Bertrand Russell endorsed — and it could actually save money by eliminating welfare, food stamps, housing subsidies and other programs. Swiss artist Enno Schmidt, who got a basic in-

come on the national ballot, advises people to think about the change for themselves instead of for others. “What would you do if you had that income?” A basic income would provide dignity and security, freeing people to unleash their creativity and try new enterprises.

DAVE’S

Making up ground But we have a long way to catch up. If the minimum wage had kept up with increases in productivity, it would be over $17 an hour. It isn’t, and while wages for the top fifth of workers have grown, everyone in the middle and below has actually lost ground. The bottom 10 percent of workers, compared to the bottom 10 percent 35 years ago, actually make 25 cents less per hour. The worker in the middle makes about $18 an hour, a 15-cent per hour decline. The decline in wages didn’t just happen. It is a conscious result of public policy decisions over the past 30 years, especially at the federal level. Our legislators know that they have the power and responsibility to reverse this impoverishment of workers. That’s what a minimum wage increase can begin to do. Plus these workers spend their earnings in the local economy. A $1 increase in the minimum wage equals a $2,000 increase in annual income. With 20 percent of our state’s total workforce benefiting, they would have over $1 billion more to spend in local businesses. That’s what the historical evidence shows us. Low wage workers spend their earnings in the local economy, in retail businesses. As spending goes up, employers meet the demand by hiring more workers. This trend is particularly reflected in service sector jobs, which have a greater share of minimum wage workers than the overall economy. So it should be no surprise that when the minimum wage increases, jobs increase as well. In 1999, our minimum wage increased by 55 cents, employment in restaurants and hospitality in Washington grew by 6,400 jobs, and overall employment grew by 54,000 jobs. In 2000, the minimum wage increased another 70 cents, hospitality employment grew by another 4,700 jobs, and overall employment grew by 63,000 jobs. A better minimum wage increases incomes and jobs for workers, their families and our economy. It is a public policy that works for all of us. And the bottom line is that low wage workers deserve a wage that approaches the value of their labor. John Burbank is executive director of the Economic Opportunity Institute (www.eoionline.org).

In fact, the minimum wage has actually fallen in value when you take into account inflation. The value of the minimum wage 35 year ago, in today’s dollars, was just about $11 an hour. So even though Washington has the best statewide minimum wage in the country ($9.32), a worker earning the minimum wage here starts out $1.68 behind what she would have made in 1968. A bit of history is helpful: In 1998, voters passed Initiative 688, which increased the minimum wage from $4.90 to $5.70 in 1999 and $6.50 in 2000 and linked increases thereafter to inflation. In the two decades leading up to Washington’s minimum wage policy change, the bottom 10 percent of income earners, who earned near or at the minimum wage, experienced an 8 percent decline in real earnings. Since implementation of I-688, that decline has been reversed, underscoring the importance of a solid wage floor.

Take time to serve

OBITUARIES Harold J. Holmberg Sequim resident Harold J. Holmberg died Jan. 16, 2014, in Sequim at the age of 98. A memorial service will be held in the spring. He was born in 1915 in Princeton, Ill., and served in World War II. He had been an artist in Sequim during his retirement. Survivors include sons Bill Holmberg and Skip Holmberg, two grandchildren and several great-grandchildren.

I have encouraged and invited you over the years to join service organizations — VFW, American Legion, Military Officers Association, Fleet Reserve, Marine Corps League, DAR, etc. I am again appealing to you to consider joining, or becoming a more active participant, in light of all the monetary issues being debated in Congress. Membership means power on Capitol Hill. Some of the benefits that have been won for active duty and veterans through the lobbying efforts of service organizations are Tricare for Life, the Post 9-11 GI Bill, currently serving pay increases, concurrent receipt, limiting the fee increases for Tricare Prime, Standard and TFL, etc. The issues related to the currently serving are of extra significance. They have been bearing the brunt of the war efforts for the past dozen years. While they are serving us, we need to serve them by making sure they and their families will be taken care of now and in the future. Please go online or e-mail one of the people at the end of the column and find out how to get more involved.

Clara Margaret Hale Sequim resident Clara Margaret Hale died Feb. 6, 2014, in Sequim at the age of 95. A funeral Mass was held on Feb. 11 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. She was born March 8, 1918, to Frank and Francis Hesse in Hot Springs, S.D. She graduated from Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., as a registered nurse. She married Lisle Hale in 1942 and moved to Sequim in 1982. She was a life member of HALE the U.S. Power Squadron. She is survived by daughter Tricia Hale; sons and daughters-in-law Robert and Susie Hale and Donald and Julie Hale; seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Lisle and Clara will be inured together in the presence of family and friends.

Housing for vets The North Olympic Regional Veteran’s Housing Network was founded in 2001 to create and maintain low income housing in Clallam and Jefferson counties. It was repurposed in 2010 solely for veterans housing issues. They currently own Sarge’s Place in Forks and The Outpost in Port Angeles that are for homeless veterans. Sarge’s Place has nine sleeping bays for men and women. There are four, two-bedroom apartments at The Outpost. These facilities always are in need of toilet paper and paper towels. The Outpost needs help with landscaping, playground equipment and building and ground maintenance tools — instead of putting tools in a yard sale, please consider donating them. For more information or to donate, call 360-374-5252.

OMCF sets ‘Red, Set, Go!’ luncheon for Feb. 28 The Olympic Medical Center Foundation will present the seventh annual Red, Set, Go! Heart Luncheon presented by the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe at 11:30 a.m. Friday, Feb. 28, at Vern Burton Community Center in Port Angeles. Persons interested in sponsoring or attending the event can contact the foundation office at 417-7144. Individual tickets are $50. “We encourage you to attend this wonderful event,” said President Karen Rogers.

“We have sold a record amount of sponsorships and therefore, 100 percent of all money raised at the luncheon will go toward local cardiac service care.” Special honoree at the event will be Jen Gouge, who recently retired as the medical assistant coordinator for Peninsula College. Gouge served in that position for 17 years and trained many professionals that are treating patients at Olympic Medical Center and other health care institutions today.

Marcia Beggs

Marcia Beggs passed away on January 19 in Vancouver, Washington, where she moved in 2006 to be near her family. She left a loving legacy in Sequim where she lived for over 30 years. Marcia was a Sequim First Lady, as she was married to the late Edward Beggs who was the last full time elected mayor. She was the devoted mother of two children, Tom and Linda, and had 7 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and 7 great-greatgrandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband of 70 years, Edward Beggs; her granddaughter, Kimm; and her daughter-in-law, Karen Beggs. She was a member of Trinity Unity Methodist Church and remained active in Soroptimist of Sequim for over 34 years and will be missed by all. Celebration of Life Service for Marcia will be held in Vancouver, Wash., on February 22. Marcia requested in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Susan G. Komen, Alzheimer’s Association, Sequim Soroptimist or your favorite charity. Condolences and memories can be sent to her family at marcia1919@yahoo.com

It also is one of the few areas where students can earn fouryear degrees at the college. She instigated many courses at the college, including two programs — infectious diseases and geriatrics. “Because we have large population of people over 65 in Clallam County, I thought this was a real necessity to have geriatric course work at the college,” said Gouge. “Even more importantly, I thought we had to educate students about abuse of the elderly, which is so rampant. We need to put a stop to that.” She was so respected in her field that twice she was invited to present papers on the social consequences of aging at Oxford University in England,

He accepted the award at a ceremony at the Awards Meeting of WFFC on Jan. 21. Childs spoke about some of his accomplishments that led to his being given this prestigious award. That included developing the “Casting Partner,” a Childs’ invention, that allows a one-handed individual to catch and land a fish. It’s now manufactured by volunteers and will be distributed at no cost to those who can benefit.

Brenda Spandrio Has your desk – or even virtually your whole home – become one gigantic “inbox,” filled with letters, magazines, newsletters, articles, bills and receipts that you’re not sure how to handle? Do you clip interesting articles from magazines and newspapers (and the truth is they’re all interesting to you!) or get tempting credit card offers or coupon packs that you can’t act on it right away? Has your “solution” been to pile these up, so that you’ll have them “handy” when you finally find time to sit down and figure out what to do with them? When was the last time you found that time? Secret No. 2 to managing paper clutter: Decision making is the key to managing paper clutter. The very first step is to make the decision that you WILL take care of the clutter! As obvious as that sounds, most people don’t choose to make managing the paper clutter a priority. Unless that initial decision is made, nothing will help to conquer the clutter. When you do sit down to tackle your paper piles, the next decision is to sort your papers into one of three categories: Toss, File or Action. Most papers that can be discarded in the trash or shredder are obvious, such as old newspapers, cash receipts, empty envelopes and product packaging. For things you are less clear about, try developing retention guidelines with the help of your accountant or legal professional to give you peace of mind with what you can toss. Papers that need to be kept, but put away “somewhere,” become your “to file” pile. It may seem inefficient to create another pile,

With some help from the Sequim Valley Car Club, the Museum & Arts Center in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley’s 1907 REO Runabout rolled into the MAC Exhibit Center last week as one of several new and refreshed history displays. The fully restored vintage automobile, reportedly the first in the Dungeness Valley, is now a focal point inside the MAC Exhibit Center, 175 W. Cedar St. in

Sequim, which recently reopened after a month-long maintenance closure. Among the other new exhibits are displays of Northwest Native basketry, vintage hats and accessories, sailing ship models and maritimerelated instruments and tools. The Manis Mastodon exhibit also received a makeover, including the addition of an eight-foot wall built by MAC volunteer Rocky Fankhouser to increase exhibit capabilities, and a new display of mastodon and mammoth teeth.

Duet Silver and Gold, Les Wamboldt and Ken Maaske, play the Sequim VFW’s ongoing dance on Saturday, Feb. 15. There is no charge to dance. Submitted photo

VFW Post 4760 commander Tristan Ryan. Sequim Gazette photo by Matthew Nash

With Tristan Ryan Nearly two years ago, U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Tristan Ryan received a three-year assignment as a recruiter in the Port Angeles-Sequim area. She’s been with the Army seven years after growing & up in Reno, Nev. Ryan said it was a bit of a culture shock to go from the city life to the Olympic Peninsula, but that she’s become a popular figure at the Sequim VFW Post 4760 where she’s served as post commander since June 2013.

Q

VFW opens its dance floor Silver and Gold kicks off monthly event Sequim Gazette staff

The Sequim VFW Post 4760 hopes that once a month you’ll put on your dancing shoes and join in a new tradition. On the third Saturday of each month, a local band will play from 6-8:30 p.m. in the gathering hall, 169 E. Washington St. Duet Silver and Gold — featuring Les Wamboldt and Ken Maaske, backed by Jerry Robison on drums — kick off the event Feb. 15. There is no cover charge. They’ll play classic country mixed with bluegrass and pop with both originals and covers. Post Commander Tristan Ryan said they used to host dances often but this recent effort is to bring more awareness to the post. “Our main goal is to support veterans and help those in tight spots find housing

and food,” she said. “With the dances, we’re trying to let people know the VFW is here for more than just men, but here for the men and their families.” The post has more than 530 members who have served overseas in a war zone during war time. “We want to have a place where people can come in and enjoy themselves for a few hours and maybe we’ll get some veterans who qualify to become members and decide to join,” Ryan said. For the dances to continue, Ryan said a lot of it will depend on word-of-mouth and the bands touting the nice dance floor, venue, beverages and food, because they don’t have much money to support the events. The dances join a menu of ongoing events such as dart league, cribbage and Sunday breakfasts (fees apply). The Sequim VFW Post 4760 is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and is open 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 11 a.m.-10 p.m., Friday and Saturday. Call 681-0434.

but the purpose of this initial sort is to be clear that these items are worth keeping and taking the time to put them away. The decision issue here is where to file these papers; what labels should you use and how handy do they need to be. Action items are things that require a fairly immediate response on your part, such as making a phone call, sending an e-mail, passing on to someone else or is part of an ongoing project. Sort quickly and try not to agonize over these broad decisions. What is trickier is to figure out exactly what to do with the “File” and “Action” items.

Tackling “Action” pile In order to facilitate your decision on what to do next, try asking some basic questions to ask when dealing with paper in your action category: What is it? Identify exactly what the paper or the information is about. Is this a bill? An invitation? Information for a project you are working on? What is the next action required? The bill has to be paid; the invitation answered and the research incorporated into its project. Don’t think too far ahead, just determine the very next action. When is it due? Schedule in your planner when you intend to pay the bill or answer the invite. If the required action takes just a minute or so, try to take care of it

immediately. Who else needs this information? In the case of an invitation, you will want to pass the particulars on to others who are included. Where will I put this so I can find it when I need it? Don’t think in terms of “where should I put this;” consider where you expect to find the information next time you need it. It helps if you have a specific place where you pay bills or answer correspondence or make phone calls. When there is a date associated with the information, note that in your calendar, along with where you filed the paperwork. It also helps when you keep active files easily accessible by using a desktop file holder, a desk drawer that accommodates hanging folders or even plastic file boxes.

sure they are not taking up the more valuable space in your desk or office. However, you still want to be able to get to the file cabinet drawers or boxes. The more difficult it is to put things away, the less likely you will do it. You will want to schedule a regular routine for filing. It could be once a week, every two weeks or once a month. A basic rule of thumb is, if you are rifling through your “to file” pile to find items you are not filing frequently enough! Remember, st atistics show that 80 percent of what we keep, we never use or reference again. So be very selective about what you choose to keep in your files. What is the likelihood that you will reread notes you took at a workshop? How accurate is the information in health newsletters from 10 years ago? Dealing promptly with Taking care of filing information goes a long way Reference and archived to avoiding the stress of paitems don’t need to be ac- per clutter. Practice making cessed as frequently, so make one of the three decisions of “File,” “Act” or “Toss” as soon as you receive the a piece of paper instead of piling it up for later.

Wolves look for possible rematch at district tourney by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

With a capacity crowd and momentum on their side, the Lady Wolves had a chance to seal their first playoff seat in three years on Friday night. But after several lead changes and late turnovers, Sequim (9-6 in league, 9-10 overall) lost the close battle 45-41 to the Olympic League leading Port Angeles Roughriders (14-1, 16-3). “You played with a lot of heart,” Sequim assistant coach Jerry Pederson told the girls after Olympic League standings (as of Feb. 10) the game. Team Lg.

Caitlin Stofferahn paced the Wolves with a 3-pointer to tie it at 17 with 2:24 to go in the first half but Krista Johnson punched the Roughriders ahead by scoring the STOFFERAHN final four points to go up 21-17. The Wolves looked their strongest in the third quarter, which typically has been a weak point this season. McKenzie Bentz led off with a 3-pointer followed by a bucket from Besand to go up 22-21. However Port Angeles went on a 7-0 run before

by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

The thing about balanced teams is that, even with injuries or shooting slumps or “off” nights, they manage to pick up wins. Prime example: Sequim. The Wolves (13-2 in Olympic League play, 15-4 overall) overcame some adversity in a pair of league match-ups for victories last week, and with Bremerton falling on Feb. 7, had a chance to lock up a top seed to districts last night at home against the Knights in a battle for the Olympic League title. (Results were too late for this edition; see sequimgazette.com for details.) With a win against Bremerton, the teams would share identical 14-2 league records and 1-1 marks head-to-head —

but Sequim would get the tiebreaker for the top district seed, owning a 2-0 mark against the league’s No. 3 team (Olympic); Bremerton split its two games against the Trojans. Sequim earned a sweep of rival Port Angeles on Feb. 7 with a 63-46 home vic-

tory. The Riders held Alex Barry, Sequim’s top scorer, to just five points, but Anthony Pinza led a balanced attack with 14 points as the Wolves dominated from the opening tip.

Besand hit two free throws and later a bucket to cut the lead to 30-28. Stofferahn ignited the crowd by sinking another 3-pointer to put Sequim up by one. Kylee Jeffers responded for the Roughriders by converting a 3-point play to go back up by one before Besand finished the quarter with another bucket for a 33-32 Wolves lead. Besand kept rolling into the fourth with a 3-pointer to start the quarter to go up by four. The teams traded buckets in the middle of the fourth before the Wolves committed costly turnovers. Senior Krista Johnson for the Roughriders tied it at 39 with less than 2 minutes to go before stealing it in the backcourt the next play for a layup and a 41-39 lead. Nizhoni Wheeler snagged her own miss to push their lead to 43-39 before Besand was fouled and swished two free throws with 40.5 seconds to play. Sequim had a few more chances to catch up after the Roughriders committed turnovers of their own but Sequim missed an open look and Port

Wrestling From page B-5

“Sophia did as good as I’ve ever seen her wrestle in three years,” Schroepfer said. “She’s done nothing but grown and improved.” Freshman Alma Mendoza and Junior Kaylee Ditlefsen took second in their weight classes. Mendoza went 2-1 with one pin and a 6-4 win leading up to an 11-2 loss against Kingston’s Peyton Reece, the seventh ranked state wrestler in their weight class. Schroepfer said Mendoza wrestled well against Reece considering she pinned her previous opponents and none of them scored any points on her. “Alma went all six minutes and scored two points and almost had a few more points as time expired,” he said.

Sequim coach Evan Still encourages his team to box out Port Angeles players in a physical matchup Friday night. Sequim Gazette photo by Matthew Nash

Angeles’ Maddy Hinrichs kept the pressure by forcing a turnover at the end. “We made a few mistakes at the end that hurt us but that’s not what lost us the game,” Still said. “We didn’t box out in the first half. We can’t give a team 14 points off second-chance opportunities.” After talking with the team, Still said he’s proud of how the girls played but if they had boxed out better in the first half, it wouldn’t have been as close.

Playoff scenarios

on Friday 50-25 at home to Kingston, there are three scenarios for Sequim. They travel to Bremerton (5-10, 6-11) on Tuesday, whom they previously beat 61-60 at home on Jan. 13. North Kitsap hosts Olympic (11-4, 13-6) Tuesday whom they lost to 53-43 in January. If Sequim wins and North Kitsap wins, there will be a playoff later in the week for the fourth seed to the playoffs. If Sequim wins and North Kitsap loses, then Sequim takes the fourth seed. If Sequim loses and North Kitsap wins, then the Vikings take the fourth seed. The Olympic League fourth seed would play at Curtis High School at 2:45 p.m. Monday, Feb. 17, against the fourth seed of the Seamount/South Puget Sound League. If Sequim takes the fourth seed and wins its first regionals game, they will face Port Angeles in the second round. Still said he’d be excited for another rematch against Port Angeles. “That’s the beauty of it. I’d trade two losses for one win at regionals,” he said. Earlier last week, Sequim lost Feb. 4 to North Kitsap 52-39.

As of Monday, the Wolves remain in the playoffs hunt. Reach Matthew Nash at mnash@ Since North Kitsap (8-7, 11-8) lost sequimgazette.com.

Ditlefsen went 2-1 with a pin and a 15-7 win before losing 15-1 in the finals to Steilacoom’s Belen Simpson, the sixth ranked wrestler in their weight class. “Kaylee went out and did what Kaylee does, taking it to girls,” Schroepfer said. “(Simpson) is one of the toughest girls Kaylee has wrestled all season. I’d bet she places in the top four at state.” Sequim’s girls placed eighth of 22 teams.

Boys send 2 alternates Unfortunately for Sequim’s boys, last weekend’s subregional tourney in Port Angeles was indicative of a season filled with injuries and misfortune. Two wrestlers — Royhon Agostine at 132 pounds and Nathan Allison at 220 — advanced to the consolation finals with a chance to advance to regionals, but both fell in

halftime but saw North Kitsap take the lead after three quarters. An 18-9 run in the fourth cinched the game for the Wolves, who shot 17-of63 (27 percent) from the field. Sequim actually shot better from beyond the arc, hitting 40 percent (8-of-20) from 3-point range. Pinza had six assists and Barry led the team with 11 rebounds, four steals and three blocks. The win eliminated the Vikings from the playoffs and allowed Port Angeles to clinch a postseason berth.

Sequim led 19-8 after one quarter and 38-19 after Pinza’s halftime buzzerbeating three-pointer. “We played from the tipoff to the final buzzer — I love that,” Sequim coach Greg Glasser said. “I thought our bigs did a great job out there.” Sequim’s bigs — posts Erik Christensen and Josh McConnaughey, plus forwards Barry and Rory Kallappa — commanded the defensive glass Friday night.

the quarterfinals, Agostine fell to weight class champ Cameron Dubos of Bremerton, 6-4. Agostine rebounded with an 18-6 drubbing of Olympic’s Tyler Munson, but lost another two-point decision, this one a 9-7 decision to Olympic’s Adrian Madison. S equim he ad c o ach Charles Drabek said Agostine is probably the most upset with the results of anyone on the team. “With the two matches he lost it could have gone either way,” he said. “There were things indirectly that Royhon couldn’t control. In his final match with seconds left, I think he got the reversal but the ref said no. I’ll have to look back at the video. It would have put them into overtime.” Allison pinned Olympic’s Logan Metzger in the first round but in the quarterfinals was pinned by Klahowya’s Maric Taylor in the match’s second round. Allison rebounded to earn pins against Patrick Bruemmer and Nico Ramirez of North Mason and Adrian Miranda of Olympic, only to math up once again with Klahowya’s Taylor. Allison fell to Taylor by

pin in the third round. Drabek and other league coaches were surprised to learn earlier in the week that only the top three from each weight class would advance to regionals, working most of the season under the assumption that four would advance as in the 2012-2013 season. The Wolves got more bad news even before the tourney started, with regional hopeful Michael Latimer unable to wrestle thanks to concussion symptoms, Drabek said. The Sequim coach noted that Sequim 152-pounder Shawn Jones was pulled from action after one match with concussion symptoms as well. A trio of Sequim wrestlers went 1-2 in their brackets: Grant Pierson (120 pounds), Kevyn Ward (145) and Adam Schaeffer (170). A deep Olympic Trojan team took the sub-regional tourney team title with 303 points, while Port Angeles was second with 278 points. Sequim was eighth of the eight competing teams, finishing with 46 points. On the season, Drabek said he’s not unhappy with how things progressed. “I’m looking forward to the future,” he said. “I see these kids who are putting their time in now. They are a little beat up a little bit but all of them are freshman and sophomores.” The whole team will continue to workout this week. Schroepfer said he’s not going to change much of the formula, particularly the girls team. “Just keep them in shape and fine tune what they already know,” he said. “I can’t wait. We have a good chance to take all three of them to state.” Following the 2A state tournament, Sequim will start Mat Rats from 5:15 p.m.-6:45 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays for wrestlers in grades 1-6. Fees apply. For more information, e-mail Drabek at cshells@live. com or cost or look for fliers at Sequim schools.

Sequim High’s district tourney bowlers, Kelsey Van Dyken and Karli Furgurson, fell short in their bid for state berths at the West Central 2A/3A district tourney in Tacoma last week. VANDYKEN Van Dyken bowled games of 135, 126 and 135 for a 396-pin total to finish in 37th place, while Furgurson bowled games of 124, 110 and 87 for 321 pins to finish 47th.

Two Sequim swimmers are moving on to districts while their teammates last week got one more meet to earn personal bests. Eric Prosser and Markus Petersen will compete at the West Central District meet in Renton Feb. 14-15, with Prosser in the 200 individual medley and possibly the 100 backstroke, and Petersen also in the 100 backstroke.

GREYWOLF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Operation Valentine is a project organized by local businesses that allows students to create a handmade Valentine card to be delivered to a U.S. Marine who has been injured or become ill while serving in combat zones. Groups of cards and letters from children and the community are a sure way to brighten the day for these young men and women, and the teachers and students loved having an opportunity to spread good cheer to those who have served our country. Cheryl McAliley, school psychologist and counselor, said that approximately 200 handmade valentines have been handed over to project organizers. Principal Donna Hudson affirmed that Math Night was a rousing success, as expressed by the number of smiling faces among folks in attendance. Kitchen cook Dixie Parker calculated they fed spaghetti to over 500 people. After eating, the crowd gravitated to the gym for a mathematical mental workout. Math games, organized into separate sets according to grade level and level of difficulty, were facilitated by students, with teachers stationed nearby to provide assistance. It was truly a family affair, with parents and children of all ages trying out different game stations. Children had the flexibility to play up or down, according to their abilities. Members of the teaching staff confided, “We didn’t want to tell them, but while they were having fun, they were also reinforcing their math skills!” To add to the counting fun, several jars containing candy pieces were awarded to those who were closest to correctly estimating the quantity inside each jar. To keep the excitement in a high degree, third-grade teacher Sheri Burke expressed prize winners over the bullhorn. Thanks to all who turned out for the event, and to the staff, congratulations on a job well done! Special thanks to organizers Monique Brasher, first- grade teacher, and Pat Quinet, third-grade teacher.

Fifth graders who participate in after-school activities are writing about their experiences, including how their participation has helped them, things they have learned, and what they like most about the activity. From Eric Danielson’s class: I like the drama club because I like to pretend I am someone else; it’s fun! Drama club teaches me to be loud, and personally, I hate it! But, I guess it’s good to sometimes to get out of my comfort zone and sing. I am so glad we have drama club, I love to act and one day be a witch and the next day be a cowardly lion! Irina Roybal Once I was at chess club and one person didn’t have a partner, so I played two games at the same time. I think my participation has helped me be a nicer person and have more friends. In chess club I have learned how to play a better chess game and move en passant and castle correctly. The thing I like the most about chess club is I can play a game with my friends.

Aaron Bataeff how to divide, multiply, subtract and add decimals. It really helps. Now I love doing math. What I like most about OTE is From Gail Kite’s class: practicing math facts and reading.

Mya Janssen I have gotten way better at math when I have stayed for OTE. Now I know a lot more things in math. I have learned how to add decimals and fractions. I like that it is easy for me now. I can do it really fast. Chloe VanProyen

SEQUIM MIDDLE SCHOOL The Science Department would like to showcase the following students as “Catalysts” for Term 2. Just what is a catalyst, you ask? Well, these are students who consistently display an exceptional level of participation in their science class. They ask those thought- provoking questions that extend understanding. They clearly and accurately share their observations, both verbally and in writing. They are the sparks which ignite learning! So without further ado, let us recognize and celebrate these fine young scientists. In sixth grade, teacher Isabella Morrison celebrates the accomplishments of Devin Anderson, Nadia Rayon, Ana Benitez, Nicho-

OPA Future City team takes second

From regional competition at Boeing Field’s Museum of Flight, Olympic Peninsula Academy’s Future City team includes (from left) instructor Lilli Hardesty, student presenters Cristen Hardwick, Fiona Humphrey and Liam Byrne, and mentor Paul Farley. The team received trophies and certificates for placing second. Submitted photo

Olympic Peninsula Academy’s Future City students placed second at a Jan. 25 competition held in Seattle at Boeing Museum of Flight, along with being voted favorite team by all their peers. Presenters began their morning with orientation. From there, their first-round panel of judging began at 9:30 a.m., finishing the morning session by 11:30 a.m. Students completed two rounds with the engineers’ panels and then were asked two specialty questions by the surveying group and engineers who sponsored the event. These tasks tested the presenters on their knowledge and understanding of how a city works and

Making numbers exciting Children get very excited about having a birthday. If you meet a child who seems shy, just ask how old she is and she is likely, not for sure, but likely to tell you or to hold up her fingers to tell you. This is one of the first numbers children really like. It is their number. But other numbers can be made to be exciting. When learning is exciting, it takes place. When you bring out the cereal, let her count a certain number to eat. Be pleased and excited when she counts four pieces and she does it correctly. If she doesn’t do it correctly, help her count out the pieces and still be pleased. See if she can repeat the numbers after you say them. Next time you get out the cereal, see how many she can count. Make it a big deal if she does it correctly. When you take her for a drive, see if she can find a specific number. Start with 2 and see if you can show her the number somewhere. It can be on an address or a billboard

or anywhere. Just stick with the number 2 until she can easily find them. After that is mastered, then go on to 3. Give her a piece of paper filled with numbers and have her circle all the 1’s. This not only teaches her the number 1 (and eventually all the numbers up to 9) but it also helps her learn to hold a crayon or a pencil. When you are in the car, let her use your old telephone or a calculator and punch in the numbers. Have her say them each time she puts a number in. Most children love the chance to use a telephone or a calculator; this is a good way to get some good out of those old machines. After she becomes good

at knowing many numbers, begin to work with her on your address or your phone number. Do one at a time until she really knows it before you begin to work on the other one. Start with the easiest and the shortest of the two. It is certainly worthwhile for her to learn about 9-1-1 and how to use that in case of an emergency. Talk with her about what an emergency would be when she might call that number. Remember to keep this fun. Most learning can be fun if you have fun with it. Don’t overdo it or make it too difficult as she begins with her numbers. Make this be a lesson she remembers the rest of her life so that she knows how to introduce numbers to her own children and make them excited, too. Cynthia Martin is the founder of the First Teacher program and director of Parenting Matters Foundation. Reach Martin at pmf@ olypen.com or at 681-2250.

what it takes to develop a working idea, then making it potentially viable. Three of the eight Future City students — Liam Byrne, Cristen Hardwick and Fiona Humphrey — served as presenters for the group from Sequim at competition. Presenters had to answers questions that directly correlate with information from their essay and narrative. They also had to remember points of discussion from months of preparation leading up to the event. OPA students received guidance and support from mentor Paul Farley and instructor Lilli Hardesty, along with supplemental help from a former student.

In time for Valentine’s Day, a “Valentine Sweethearts” exhibit of vintage dolls courtesy of the Olympic Peninsula Doll Club also is on display through March 22, after which it will be replaced with springtime and Easter-themed dolls. “We are all so excited to have revitalized and upgraded the exhibit center with our new exhibits and by adding some color,” said MAC History Exhibits coordinator Lyn Fiveash, referring to some now-vibrantly colored exhibit backdrops. “We’ve also been listening to what our patrons want to see and our basketry and REO exhibits are a direct result of their input.” Fiveash also noted several of the new exhibits, as well as some currently in the works, are cooperative endeavors between the MAC and local groups. In addition to working with the Sequim Valley Car Club, whose members continue to advise on proper car care, the MAC is continuing its yearlong collaboration with the Olympic Peninsula Doll Club to present rotating displays of vintage dolls. Fiveash said history exhibits being planned for the spring include a new archaeological exhibit about

Washington Harbor and the U.S. Highway 101 bypass being developed in collaboration with the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, and a Sequim Irrigation Festival display highlighting past royalty that will coincide with the annual May festival. Also currently showing is “History & Art Connects,” an art exhibition featuring 40 pieces of original artwork from the MAC Collection depicting local historical scenes and created by 21 artists active in the area arts scene largely from the 1960s-1980s.

Featured artists include Judy Priest, Esther Webster, Dorcas Taylor, Joy McCarter, Evelyn “Johnny” Whatton, Lynne Proudfoot, Gertrude Nelson, and Dick Chapman.
