SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF As autumn saturates the surrounding landscapes and the air develops a refreshing chill, seven farms across the Sequim-Dungeness Valley are celebrating the harvest season at the 20th annual Clallam County Farm Tour.

For two decades the community has enjoyed the Farm Tour as an annual opportunity to connect with local farmland, listen to live music, eat farm-fresh food and engage with area farmers.

The event continues to grow, said Tom Sanford, North Olympic Land Trust executive director.

Tribe removes homes threatened by Dungeness River Restoration project conserves 27 acres, 2,600 feet of river

BY MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

The Dungeness River is set to roam free again, at least for another 2,600 feet.

Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal staff revealed Sept. 14 on a trip with the Dungeness River Management Team that three homes were demolished on Serenity

Lane, about 2.5 miles from U.S. Highway 101 off River Road, for its Riparian Restoration Project.

Two of three homes were being rented and one in particular at 131 Serenity Lane was being threatened by the river’s current. Prior to demolition, the renters were

had a few more exhibitors and an overall pretty positive outcome.”

As is tradition, the event promotes the Olympic Peninsula’s natural and cultural resources through hands-on exhibits and various activities. It also featured live music, food and the Olympic Driftwood Sculptors’ annual show on Saturday-Sunday in the River Center.

Jones said he and other organizers will discuss changes for next year with the possibility for more exhibitors and

making the festival a one-day event.

He said about 70 percent of the attendance comes on Friday and on Saturday it competes with other area events, which leads to lower numbers.

“I’d like to see it go into the evening on Friday with music in the evening with food and not compete on Saturday,” Jones said.

“We (event organizers) want to support other event as much possible and have them support us, too.”

For more information on the festival or river center, visit www.DungenessRiverCenter.org or call 681-4076.

Two upcoming meetings will be held in order for parents and legal guardians to preview state-mandated HIV prevention education program and videos Sequim students might see.

The first meeting begins at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 4, in the Helen Haller Elementary School Library, 350 W. Fir St. The second meeting begins at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 11, in the Greywolf Elementary School Library, 171 Carlsborg Road.

Curriculum and videos will be available for preview in the school libraries. Parents/ legal guardians will be asked

to sign in, and after previewing the materials, parents who wish to have their child excused from participation in the HIV prevention program may sign a release form provided at the meeting.

State law provides that a parent or guardian must attend such a meeting before they can have their child or legal ward excused from participation in the HIV prevention program.

For more information about this event, contact Sonja Bittner, RN, Sequim School District nurse, at sbittner@sequim.k12.wa.us.

From page A-1 2,600 feet of the river.

“At 100 feet wide, it’s one of the narrowest parts of the Dungeness,” he said.

Knapp said the river flowed in the early 1990s between two armored dikes/levees about 100 feet apart near the end of Serenity Lane.

“Now there is about 1,000 feet of room for the river to migrate and flood without risk to houses,” he said. “Healthy rivers need room to flood and meander.”

Eventually, the property will be opened to the public for fishing, dependent on the season’s guidelines, but no facilities will be on site as part of conditions in place by the state, Knapp said.

A public opening date hasn’t been set yet but it could by next spring or sooner, he said.

The purchase of 20 acres is part of an ongoing effort to restore salmon habitat in the floodplain.

The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe purchased the acreage from a Seattle family for $1,218,000 using the state’s Salmon Recovery Funding Board grants and just over $204,000 in matching funds.

Tribal staff said the project benefits Endangered Species Act-listed chinook salmon, bull trout, summer chum salmon and steelhead fish species along with coho, pink and fall chum salmon.

Knapp said Jamestown Excavating pulled out about 50 tons of contaminated soil and garbage from the properties including a neighboring site the tribe doesn’t own.

He said burn pits that were formerly in front of the home had remnants of burned treated wood and high amounts of arsenic.

Asbestos also was found in the homes, Knapp said.

Two of the three homes were

At one point earlier this year, the Dungeness River cut into a bank on Serenity Lane off River Road so much it threatened to wash away at least one home. Crews with the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe demolished it and three homes and Jamestown Excavating later removed about 50 tons of contaminated soil and garbage from the area, tribal officials said.

mobile homes but were not in good enough shape to move and reuse,” he said.

Former renters like Matt McWilliams at 131 Serenity Lane fought the river cutting into his backyard by placing logs and debris in the water and by channeling the current elsewhere. However, his porch dangled over water at one point.

As part of the agreement to leave the home, McWilliams sought comparable housing through Epic Land Solutions, a contractor for the tribe, to rent or buy similar homes. McWilliams wanted to relocate by water and/or a forested area.

The tribe offered to pay a portion of rent or on a mortgage within a certain geographical area for those displaced.

Storms flooded the area last year

In similar situations, Knapp said a home was damaged by the river and later demolished in the winter of 1996-1997 and a home on Kinkade Road washed into the river in January 2002.

The tribe has made an offer on 21 Serenity Lane and is waiting to hear back, Knapp said, and another offer for a property further south along the river was turned down.

Sarah Doyle, stewardship coordinator for the North Olympic Salmon Coalition, said on a Saturday in January or February they’ll set a day to place native plants on Robert Knapp, restoration planner for the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, talks the site.

GIRLS SWIMMING

More Wolves qualify for districts SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF Two meets in and more girls continue to set personal records and find district-qualifying times for the Lady Wolves swim team.

Despite an 86-84 loss to Olympic on Sept. 20, the Wolves had an amazing meet, head coach Anita Benitez said.

“I can’t believe how much work the girls have been doing in practice and how much it is paying off for us,” she said.

Sequim’s 200 medley A team of Isa Benitez, Sonja Govertsen, Sydnee Linnane and Anna Miehe dropped two seconds from their

district-qualifying time to 2:07.40 and are within 5 seconds of a statequalifying time.

Miehe, a German-exchange student, swam 2:16.98 in the 200 free for a district qualifying time of 2:25.00, and Govertson qualified in the 100 fly at 1:11.24, and is within 7 seconds of a state-qualifying time. The 200 free relay B team of Benitez, Joie Darminio, Stephanie Grow and Meguire Vander Velde qualified for districts at 2:01.48, too.

The 400 free relay team B also qualified while two other relays maintained or dropped a few seconds off their existing swim times.

Linnane also swam another 4 sec-

onds off her 100 backstroke time to 1:09.40 and is within 3 seconds of a state-qualifying time.

Overall, nearly 20 girls set personal records in at least one event.

Eight girls, with the fastest relay times so far — Benitez, Miehe, Govertson, Linnane, Darminio, Jasmine Itti, Vander Velde and Sydney Swanson — were invited to the Swimviational event on Sept.

24 in Bremerton. Govertson swam to district-qualifying time in the 50 freestyle and every girl cut time in at least one individual event or relay.

Sequim swims next on Sept. Sequim’s Sydnee Linnane swims the backstroke at the Swimviational on 29 in Bremerton at the Jarstad Sept. 24 in Bremerton. So far this season, she’s qualified for districts in four Aquatic Pool. events. Photo courtesy of Madeline Patterson

Making/Fixing a Splash City crews were busy repairing a water line after it broke on Sept. 21, forcing the city to issue a precaution to eight city residents about possible contaminated water. Above, Jacob McBride and Marty Hogoboom of the City of Sequim Public Works crew repair a water line break on the 800 block of East Washington Place last week. Nearby residents just north of Les Schwab and east of Brown Road lost water pressure following the break and city officials advised they boil their tap water before drinking it. The advisory was a precaution because contaminants could have entered the water lines when the system lost pressure, city officials said. The Washington State Department of Health advised City of Sequim residents in the affected area to use boiled water or use purchased bottled water for drinking, brushing teeth, dishwashing, preparing food and making ice. City crews flushed the system later that day. Photo courtesy of the City of Sequim

Tooth Truth

ZOMBIE DENTISTRY

The next big holiday, unless you count the day after the next presidential debate, is Halloween. And of course the bottom line for kids at Halloween is “ free candy!!!!!!!”. The thing to remember about candy and tooth decay gets back to bacteria basics. Bacteria use sugar for food. Their by-product is acid which dissolves the minerals in teeth. The result is tooth decay. It normally takes 24 hours to build up the bacterial colonies to a point of causing harm. Thorough brushing and flossing breaks up the colony. The more times the teeth are exposed to sugar the faster the bacteria builds and the more tooth dissolving acid is produced. For more information about Halloween Hazards, call our office.

SEQUIM GAZETTE

New to the market: Whiskey Creek Crafts What’s new at the market this year are the beautiful wood-turned items from Whiskey Creek Crafts.

This business, started in 1989 by John and Pat Hale, has been a welcome addition to the market.

John started making furniture after realizing that he had had enough of being an engineer and working in an office environment. He retired but was urged by his grandmother to go into furniture production, so much so that she What’s financed the wood shop that New hou s e d t he at the production. arket?

M Pat and John spent 10 years Lisa Bridge producing reproductions of antique furniture.

They started with cedar-lined oak chests, oak shelving units and quilt racks and expanded from there selling at local shows and malls, to furniture companies and overseas.

Pat was managing the business while also a stay-at-home mom, but she would get her degree as a nurse in the coming years.

They lived “in the middle of nowhere” on Whiskey Creek in Theodosia, Mo. They disputed over the population, Pat says 200 but John says that must include way out beyond the city limits. They go on to name the three families that make up the town and own every business minus the bank. Appar-

ently the town feels like it has about 10 residents and that is where John grew up and Pat not terribly far from there.

They two met in West Plains, Mo., where Pat was a dental assistant and met at the office where she worked.

According to John, she tried to pull out all his teeth (Pat interjects the story is untrue). “I guess that was the way to his heart,” Pat said, as it led to their marriage and raising four children.

Ten years later, John’s health was not sustaining the shop atmosphere, with too much lacquer fumes and dust, his respiratory system needed a change. By then Pat was a nurse and they decided to do some travel nursing. She took a year contract in San Francisco, Calif., and then in Oregon. Two-and-a-half years ago their grandson wanted them to come and visit his home in Sequim. She took a contract at Olympic Medical Center and then was hired on full-time in the critical care unit.

They love Sequim. Pat describes the area as “cloudy, dreary and beautiful.” She loves to be so close to the mountains and the water.

Pat tells me she always has been a tomboy and would rather fix a car than cook or clean. This summer she won a blue ribbon at the county fair for a wood-turned piece that she made.

In their booth they have woodturned bowls, plates, vases and other vessels. It is turned wood done on a lathe. John explains that he looks at a piece of wood and sees something in it and he makes it.

They make urns for pets and

recently finished an urn to house both a husband and his wife’s ashes.

Additionally, John does leather work: He makes bags that include feathers, beads and mink and raccoon skin.

Most popular in the booth are the colored pencil items. Using glue, John puts together about 100 colored pencils into a block and then that block is combined with hardwoods glued all together. He then turns it and you see the colors and shapes of the pencils. People love them. He saw a YouTube video of a guy making a clock with colored pencils and had the thought, “I could make boxes or bowls like that.”

The couple plans to expand their business to include John’s acrylic

Olympic Medical Center’s WASBIRT program has been named the most successful site in the state by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services Research and Data Analysis Division.

From September 2013 through July 2016, 1,256 patients were referred to treatment through this program.

Of those referred patients, 42 percent sought substance use disorder treatment as compared to the national average of 6 to 8 percent.

“I call it not delicious but malicious — because you want to eat too much of it,” Cathy laughed.

“When we started this (two-table eatery), we were not interested in getting in the full-blown restaurant business so it’s mostly call-in and take-out. We opened Sept. 14 and I plan to add a couple of tables to make people feel at home,” Curtis said.

Presently, the Cajun Kitchen closes at 4 p.m. but Curtis is thinking of extending closing to 5:30 or 6 p.m. for supper take-outs.

“We love what we do — love cooking Cajun food,” Cathy concluded.

The Composite Recycling Technology Center has earned a $1.73 million state grant to fund advanced manufacturing equipment at its new Port Angeles facility. The grant by the Washington State Department of Commerce, from its Clean Energy Fund 2 program, will allow purchase and installation of equipment to recycle carbon fiber scrap from the aerospace industry into valueadded products.

Production should begin by the end of 2016, creating more than 20 jobs by the end of 2017.

The facility’s product offerings will focus long-term on clean-energy applications, with specific products yet to be announced.

This grant was made possible by matching funds provided by the Port of Port Angeles through a series of Economic Development Services Agreements with the CRTC.

With their Louisiana accents as rich as their Cajun food, Curtis and Cathy Harper chat easily about their new restaurant The Cajun Kitchen, located in a complex behind Sears. The couple, who say they were born and bred in Central Louisiana, are proud of their Cajun heritage and and its cuisine, handed down over many generations.

In escaping the heat and humidity, the Harpers have brought their authentic Cajun dishes to Sequim on a call-in/take-out basis Wednesdays-Fridays. In 2015, they found a following at the Sequim Farmers Market and it’s transferred over to the restaurant.

“We learned from our parents and grandparents that you ate what you grew, killed or caught — years ago, people ate what they had. We stick with the old way of cooking and cook from scratch,” 70-year-old Cathy said.

Curtis, 77, also learned the fine art of Cajun cooking

Rise seen in peninsula tobacco retailers selling to minors Report points to higher than state average numbers for noncompliance in both Clallam and Jefferson counties JESSE MAJOR Olympic Peninsula News Group

More than 40 percent of tobacco retailers sampled in Clallam County illegally sold to minors in 2015.

Clallam County public health officials reported the data from the Synar Report for the state Department of Health.

Noncompliance rates rose statewide, but with 11 or 40.7 percent of the 27 retailers sampled selling to people younger than 18, Clallam County was significantly worse than the state average of 17.1 percent, according to the annual Synar Report.

“It is unacceptable that we have 4 out of every 10 retailers illegally selling tobacco products to minors,” said Dr. Christopher Frank, Clallam County health officer.

“Nicotine is highly addictive

and selling tobacco to youth is setting them up for a lifetime of poor health.”

A lower percentage of sampled Jefferson County retailers sold tobacco to minors in 2015, but the results are still above the state average and the highest within the past 10 years, according to the state Department of Health.

Almost 9 out of 10 people who smoke start by age 18 and tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable death in Washington and Clallam County, health officials report.

Nearly 28 percent of the 18 stores in Jefferson County that were sampled sold tobacco to minors last year, about 11 percent more than the state average.

Frank said these starts are part of a “concerning trend” where officials are seeing higher rates of use among

young people and pregnant women.

“It definitely caught our attention,” he said.

Last year’s Synar report is the highest noncompliance rate Clallam County has had since the state began tracking in 1997, he said.

Clerks who sell tobacco to minors can be fined up to $100 and retail owners can be fined up to $1,500 and might have their license revoked for up to five years, according to the state Department of Health.

Officials with the Washington’s Liquor and Cannabis Board said an FDA Unit conducts Synar checks under contract with the Federal Drug Administration and its enforcement officers also make stops and compliance checks separate from Synar.

Frank said he would support the state sanctioning retailers who sell to minors.

He blamed some of the rise of use among minors on the amount of tobacco prevention funding avail-

enforcing the regulations regarding sales to minors without that tobacco prevention funding.”

When the county received the state funds, it was able to fund “sting operations,” in which minors attempted to buy tobacco products from retailers. If tobacco products were sold to the minor, the retailer would be fined, he said.

tion in Clallam County was cut.

Clallam County Health and Human Services notified local tobacco retailers to help make them aware of these recent findings and encourage them to help prevent illegal sales to minors.

“On the local level, part of our effort is reaching out to retailers and asking them to be good community members, realizing that while it might seem like a sale to a minor is a small thing, we know most people who start smoking start when they are young,” Frank said.

“They really are harming that young person in their store.”

I n t he S eq u im School District, tobacco prevention information is taught from grades 5-9 in the Family Life and Sexual Health, FLASH, a program that covers growth and development, as well as personal safety.

The Clallam County Board of Health also is exploring costeffective ways of addressing this problem, Frank said.

Clallam County has 69 tobacco retailers, according to the state health department.

“It is unacceptable that we have 4 out of every 10 retailers illegally selling tobacco products to minors.”

Cop Dog age 2. Chase was bred in the Netherlands and underwent 400 hours of training over three months in 2008 to work in Sequim.

Earlier this year, Chase became inactive for Sequim Police after a successful surgery to remove a mass from his intestines. Sequim Police staff said Chase was set to retire this year anyway but his age and health prompted the decision.

Together, Chase and Hill have more than 100 arrests together and have assisted in more than 100 other arrests with other agencies.

Sequim Police Chief Bill Dickinson said Chase was used for tracking and scents but not for drug scents.

“The more immediate

able from the state.

In fiscal year 2016, the state spent $640,000 on tobacco prevention, the lowest level since 1998, according to The Associated Press.

As recently as 2009, Washington spent $28 million on prevention, but funding was slashed during budget cuts in 2010, the AP reported.

“It’s not easy because a lot of the money that has traditionally funded local tobacco prevention efforts went away,” Frank said.

“A big part of it is we have stopped

course and in several public demonstrations.

Dickinson said he and Hill plan to seek out another dog to replace Chase but it could take several months, including the 400-hour training program and finding a nearby training officer.

Officer Tony Bush, a Sequim native, was selected as the next canine handler for the Sequim Police Department. He transferred from the Port Angeles Police Department in February.

Dickinson said the officers vying for the position were Sequim’s top three producing officers.

“We do intend to carry on with the tradition,” he said.

“The community has been

very supportive.”

Dickinson said he anticipates donations will pay for purchasing a new dog.

Ongoing costs such as health care and food are paid for by an ongoing fund with donations made out to the “Sequim Police Department K-9 Program” going directly to the program. They can be made by contacting the Sequim Police Department at 152 W. Cedar St. or at 683-7227.

Training for the handler and dog is paid for by the police department.

“Dog costs have been all funded by the community and we’re very grateful,” Dickinson said.

“Chase has been the city’s dog. He’s everybody’s dog.”

Chase’s tenure follows former K-9 officers Huey and Titus with Titus, the dog before Chase, retiring due to allergies. The Sequim K-9 unit began in 2000.

The ceremonial for Hill to purchase Chase was a legal matter because the dog must be considered surplus as city property before ownership is exchanged.

Helen was born March 26, 1920 in Paso Robles, CA to Harry and Edith (Stills) Hatch.

After graduating from high school at the top of her class and where she played guitar in a local band.

She moved to San Francisco where she worked during WWII as a secretary in the Presidio. After the war, she opened a photography business in the city and it was here that she met her husband of 51 years, Rowland R. King.

After their marriage, she worked in his legal offices and became an accomplished artist and an avid golfer.

Together they raised their son Robert and traveled the world together before settling in the Morro Bay area. After his death, at the age of 83, she moved to Sequim, WA to live near her brother, Willard ‘Bill’ Hatch. She lived in a Hendrickson’s Estates home for 13 years before moving to Sherwood Assisted Living last February.

With her gracious smile and great desire to please others, she made friends in her neighborhood and at the Sequim Senior Center, where she went on many day long outings.

Troubled this year by declining health, she wanted to return to the sunshine and beaches in her birth state. She was in California with her son and daughter-in-law when she passed peacefully on September 11, 2016.

She will be much missed by her son Robert King, his wife Linda, her stepson Rowland King Jr, his wife Marilyn, her cousin Betty Lindsay, Betty’s daughter Patricia Lindsay, her caregiver Donna Walsh and her Sequim friends and neighbors.

The position is being advertised locally and through statewide and regional networks. A full job description is available upon request by emailing serenity@serenityhouseclallam.org.

In her comments to the

board and staff, Leach said she is looking forward to spending time with her three grandchildren who live in the Midwest.

“I’m proud to have been part of an agency whose mission is to help people have a home, the most basic of needs that every human being deserves and wishes for,” she said. ”

October 10, 1950 - September 16, 2016 Karen, age 65, passed away after a lengthy battle with cancer on September 16, 2016, at her home in Sequim with her family and very close friend, Jim, by her side.

Karen was born in Culver City, California to Henry and Lena Rosenberger on October 10, 1950.

Karen graduated with High Honors from Eastmont High School in 1969. She lettered in her favorite sport, tennis. Moving on to Western Washington State College, she received a degree in education.

Karen decided not to pursue teaching, rather taking a civil service position in 1972 with the US Air Force Plant Representative Office (AFPRO) at Boeing Plant 2, Seattle. She began as a Procurement Clerk with the Minuteman Missile Program. She subsequently completed training and received her warrant as an Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO). Karen was ACO for the Minuteman program for a short time and in 1984 she became ACO for the E-3 Sentry, Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS).

She was responsible for administering the US Government contracts for the USAF, NATO, Saudi and Japanese AWACS programs. As the US Government representative, Karen accepted delivery of each E-3 aircraft from The Boeing Company. During her time in this position, she was awarded numerous awards and citations for her work performance. Karen frequently travelled internationally representing the US Air Force.

The AFPRO later became part of the Defense Contract Management Agency, from which Karen retired on October 4, 2002.

During her time at the Boeing facility, Karen met and married Lt. Col. Jack Pierson (USAF/Retired), who was also working at the Boeing plant.

After retirement she and Jack moved to the Sequim area, building their retirement place on 20 acres of land up on Blue Mountain. After Jack’s untimely death, Karen sold the house and moved down the mountain to her new home in Sequim. Oh, how she loved her new home. She made many trips over the mountains back to Quincy, WA to see her family. We always looked forward to spending time with Karen. Karen was a huge supporter of many local events and artists in the Sequim area.

Karen was a DIEHARD 12 SEAHAWK FAN, attending home games with her long-time friend, Jim Doherty. They attended Super Bowl XLIX and that result really upset her. She always flew a Seahawks flag at her home during the season. She loved watching her beloved Hawks, especially Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor and Russell Wilson. The Hawks have lost a True Fan. Karen was preceded in death by her parents Henry and Lena Rosenberger, her husband Jack H. Pierson, her brother Jim Rosenberger of Rock Island, her niece Gwen Taylor and nephew Mark Rosenberger of Quincy.

She is survived by her sister Margy, Wenatchee; brother Ken, Wenatchee; sister-in-law Marilyn, Wenatchee; brother Gene and wife Rhonda, Quincy; nephew Corey and wife Taran, Quincy; niece Susie and husband Bob, Covington; nephew Michael and wife Stephanie, Salmon, Idaho; step-son Barclay Pierson and wife Lorri, Renton; step-son Graham Pierson and wife Belen, Virginia; great-nephews and nieces Ben and Cameron Williams; Zack, Moses and Titus Taylor; Hunter and Ashlyn Rosenberger; Caitlyn and Chase Schuler; Rachel and Stecker Pierson and Briana Pierson.

Plans for celebrating Karen’s life will be announced at a later date.

Please leave a memory for the family or sign their online guestbook www.scharbachs.com Scharbach’s Columbia Funeral Chapel, Quincy,WA. will be in assisting the family with arrangements.

SEQUIM GAZETTE

Odds, ends from the editor’s desk Welcome to the fall/pre-winter of our discontent.

As I write this, living in these United States nearing the end of September 2016, I realize we are all facing a monumentally tough choice in the coming weeks. There will be debate. There will be wringing of hands. There may even be gnashing of teeth.

At some point, we simply must choose and move on with our lives.

The question put before us, of course, is this: Can you live with a smartphone without a headphone jack?

Yeah. Seriously. In the middle of a presidential Editor’s election, this subject — Corner and all things iPhone 7 Michael Dashiell — was a banner headline on several major media sites. For longer than it should have been … which is to say, any amount of time.

Don’t get me wrong — I found it a nice distraction from the roiling vitriol of the national campaign, one that has most Americans fearing either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump will actually be elected in November.

Consider: An Associated Press poll notes that 81 percent of Americans say they would feel afraid following the election of one of the two major party candidates.

Further, as the New York Times pointed out in early August, about 60 of 324 million Americans vote in the primaries, and less than half of those voted for someone other than Clinton or Trump. That means about 9 percent of Americans were enthused enough by one of these two to cast a ballot for them.

Columnist Mel Robbins put it succinctly in her piece, “We are getting exactly the presidential campaign we deserve.”

“I don’t like either candidate,” Robbins writes. “Neither does my husband. Our relatives, who run the gamut from hardcore Republicans to raging liberals, feel the same. And I believe that when the vast majority of Americans think about their choices this November, they agree with that sign (popping up everywhere): ‘Everybody Sucks.’”

(She also goes on to mention a Twitter poll that has Clinton at 6 percent, Trump at 4 percent and a hard-toopen pistachio at 90 percent).

Alternatives? Sure, we’ve got them. On your Clallam County ballot this November, besides the aforementioned super-candidates, you will have these presidential hopefuls to pick from: Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party, Jill Stein of the Green Party, Darrell L. Castle of the Constitution Party, Alyson Kennedy of the Socialist Workers Party and Gloria Estela La Riva of the Socialism and Liberation Party.

If none of these candidates seems to inspire, you are not alone. The latter three candidates don’t even get a mention in national polls and folks are so uninterested in Johnson’s and Stein’s candidacies and parties that they didn’t meet a 15 percent polling threshold to be included in the first presidential debate (Sept. 26). It seems they will have little chance to qualify for the other three.

Professor/author Alan Dershowitz notes that, “It would be a real tragedy and an insult to democracy if the election were to be decided by those who fail to vote, rather than by those who come out to vote for or against one of the two major candidates.”

Considering our voting apathy even before this election, is there any other outcome than exactly that?

Short-changing change, Part II As promised, like it or not and I hope you do, I am continuing a discussion about change and resistance to change. In my view, we sometimes trick ourselves into doing a bit of mental gymnastics to claim change while maintaining our surrounds and our place in them. I don’t think it’s good for us.

I happen to believe that such delusion takes a Think lot of energy and ultimately harms About It ... our potential as Bertha Cooper human beings if for no other reason than we miss an opportunity for something more productive. The effort here is to at least poke around the edges and together raise our awareness.

Pretend change, continued When I returned to consulting after an absence caused by a stint as a real employee, I adopted a motto for my micro-consulting business, “only if you want it done.”

Over the prior years of consulting, I discovered that there were organizations who used consultants to create the appearance of change and progress. I called processes that lead away only to return to the status quo pretend change.

That and my employment stints lead me to believe that forces in human beings and organizations that maintain the status quo often were greater than the imperative for

growth or even survival. In fact, sometimes I thought those forces were confused with survival.

Think again of the Frank and Ernest cartoon in which one of the character poses the question “So, Darwin said for a species to survive it has to change into something else — Doesn’t that defeat the purpose?”

Or think Kodak. Or Blockbuster. What happens when an organization ignores the world around them that’s calling for faster, sharper ways of doing things in order to preserve the nostalgia and wonder of their initial creation? They perish.

During my time in the health care industry, I have seen new services started in high hopes and excitement, only to run into the attitudes and procedures that served to protect the status quo.

In the beginning, everyone says the service is great for patients, great for providers and great for the community or in many cases great for making money.

Yet when it came down to the details that involved change on the part of older established services, change didn’t feel so great.

The primary purpose of working together to provide quality patient care became secondary to keeping the system intact.

I liked to call it defending one’s territory.

Systems and procedures become fortresses immune to penetration. It’s not a mean intent most of the time; rather it’s the challenge of moving into the unknown, the unfamiliar; in other words, real change. It’s hard to do and hard to do well.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Save the farm

I just wrote out a check to the North Olympic Land Trust to help preserve forever the Historic Ward Farm that has been in continuous production since 1858. Think about that, folks: 1858. That is three years before the first shot was fired in the Civil War. According to a story in the Sequim Gazette, William Ward was 12, aboard an English windjammer when he jumped ship in Port Townsend and later acquired the piece of land that stretched along the west bank of the Dungeness River.

Ward dug his first well on the farm that same year and it is still pumping even in the midst of a terrible drought like we had last year. Just sample the carrots or Swiss chard that Nash Huber and his partners grow on the farm now. They are sweet and delectable!

They also grow, kale, beets, cabbage, oats and wheat. A few days ago, a thrashing machine rolled through a lush stand of quinoa, one of the most nutritious grains in existence.

I admit I am biased. I grew up on this farm and remember helping my dad milk our 100 cows twice daily back in the 1950s.

Nothing is more precious than our farmland, 70 percent of it lost to the real estate market. The North Olympic Land Trust has spearheaded the grassroots movement to preserve farmland in Clallam County.

As those bumper stickers say, “No Farms, No Food!” Contribute what you can to save the Historic Ward Farm!

Tim Wheeler Sequim

Election more than a personality contest I believe the media in their presentation of the presidential candidates is doing us a great disservice. There has been so much discussion of personality and we can be left thinking that the election is a popularity contest akin to choosing Homecoming royalty.

Let’s be sure that we are looking at the bigger picture. There are enormous issues at stake here, the future of our planet being at the top of my list.

I want to know that the new president will support climate change agreements, sign renewable energy standards, make sure that vulnerable members of our society, including the elderly and immigrants, are fairly treated and that our relations with other countries bring the world family closer to agreements that support peaceful solutions and not into a new version of nationalism.

There are things about Hillary Clinton that I question, but I will vote for her. The stakes are just too high.

Carol von Borstel Sequim

System has been corrupted

Lost in the “basket of deplorables” remark by Hillary Clinton was her stated preface that it would be “grossly generalistic.” It was.

Those who profess to wear “pejorative labels” as a badge of honor while disparaging minorities lends credence to the basket.

So, too, does demonizing those

who gave voice to the masses and helped educate women during their reproductive years irrespective of the aggregate of evangelicals whose credo is that life begins at conception and ends at birth only to rise again at draft age.

What gets short shrift, however, are riders or poison pills often inserted in bills which stagnates progress resulting in filibusters and the obstructionism we have endured throughout the Obama Presidency.

For example: HR 2577 mixes the Confederate flag with Planned Parenthood and the Zika virus.

This is anathema to democracy and the elected servants sworn to represent us, not lobbyists, political action committees and special interests. All were given carte blanche by a Supreme Court that gave rise to Citizens United and all but crippled dissent.

Yes, the system is rigged, but worse, it has been corrupted.

Roger Huntman Sequim

Where we lost our way Some readers, especially those on the left, will find this to be a harsh letter.

I have been around for a long time, I don’t claim to be your eldest reader but I’m up there — in that time I’ve made many observations and a few conclusions — my latest conclusion is this.

The vast, vast majority of United States citizens are God-respecting, hard-working, country- and familyoriented individuals that for some reason have been snookered into

believing that the collective minorities of the United States population deserve special rights.

The reason for this is the hegemony of the liberal ideology shoved down our throats by national and state governments.

We have been informed that God is no longer welcome in the national discourse, that the founders of this great country were nothing but white, racist slave owners not worthy of our esteem and that the new motto of the United States is based upon global multiculturalism.

Not too many years ago the outright thuggery that has been occurring in Charlotte, N.C., would not have been tolerated for 10 minutes, I can remember seeing signs stating “Looters will be shot” in front of store fronts damaged by natural disaster (in those days, rioting was not permitted).

It is time for the majority to take our American culture back from those who would change it into a Third World swamp.

There are devices in existence for demonstrating protest, they are the town hall, the ballot box, the press and petition.

Not included is shutting down city streets and burning and looting businesses.

There is nothing in the First Amendment of the Constitution that permits this behavior.

Outright violence should be put down forcefully as soon as it occurs and those engaging in it incarcerated.

SEQUIM GAZETTE

Verbatim: Charlee Sandell “I was at the Co-op the other day chatting

with other customers and the sales staff when one of the people in line said to me, “Aren’t you that lady …”

“Yes,” I replied, “I am.”

“I love your house!”

“Thanks so much. It has tons of character and it has been a happy place to raise my kids.”

This conversation has been reenacted multiple times for almost the last 30 years in diverse places and it is hard to believe that very soon I may no longer be that person. My house will soon be someone else’s home and I will be gone from this city and haven to move onto new and different things.

But the experience will live in the history of my “Mustard Seed.” I have lingered here longer than any other resident and raised my three children under this steeply pitched roof.

We have grown up with this home, shared its treasures and good vibrations with countless friends and acquaintances, read about ourselves in local newspapers, listened to numerous anecdotes of previous visitors, laughed and cried at outrageous rumors, and have been the subjects of curiosity the entire time.

It is not unusual to have random strangers knock on the door to simply ask about the house. Just yesterday, an inspector said that someone on a bicycle stopped to let him know that once John Wayne’s sister lived here and that it had been a church. To set the record straight, John’s sister (which is disputed as to whether or not he really had one) did not live here, but the house was indeed Sequim Bible Church at one time.

So many personalities have shaped this home and I will miss all of their kind attention. My contractor, Phil Roberts, put his

From page A-10 A friend recently introduced me to a book called “The Fifth Discipline” by Peter M. Senge that points to one reason for behavior that seems to fly in the face of our positive intentions to make change.

The book is complex and I don’t pretend to do it justice.

One observation made by the author spoke to me in the same profound way the cartoon did. Author Senge points to successful pilots of new ways of doing things that lead to better results that, when put into practice, are not widely adopted.

In other words, everyone thought it worked and got better results, but in the end,

heart, soul and excellent craftsmanship into this condemned house when my family first arrived from Connecticut in 1988. He has continued to help with odd necessities when things needed sprucing up and has had the proud distinction of getting literally stuck in a wall requiring the fire department to extricate him.

One of the last contractors to work on the home is a grandson of the original owners, George and Mildred Godfrey. Eric, the son of Rick Godfrey, is the proprietor of Three Crowns Property Services here in Sequim and he provided his expertise in making the house market worthy. The family still has an interest in the house and I have documented some of their stories to include in a scrapbook that I have created.

In addition, two Sequim Gazette reporters have followed the house history over the years. Christine Aumack chronicled the reconstruction of the building which sparked the interest of other residents who added their own commentaries. I was sorry to see her leave the area for employment on the other side of the pond.

In the past few years, Kelly McKillip has replaced Ms. Aumack with her own style of interest and authored wonderful articles and even a play about the house for a Sequim Retrospective. Kelly is a quiet person with a huge pen and has researched the Mustard Seed’s history. I appreciate her attention to detail and the tidbits that she has put together about the house.

My favorite memories, however, cannot be truly catalogued. They will live long in the hearts of those who knew firsthand. These include our huge annual Christmas Eve parties where no one needed an invitation and

do not completely adopt it and create effective change.

Senge says that is because “(the new and different way) conflicts with deeply held internal images of how the world works, images that limit us to familiar ways of thinking and acting.”

Just think how resistance to change becomes far more powerful when it is deep and unknown. Think how challenging it is to overcome occult resistance when people generally agree on the plan based on positive results.

Real life example I am going to guess that every one of you has had more than one similar experience of what I am about to describe. In this case I am using it as an example of a system so strong that it was closed

Odds-Ends From page A-10

I’m not sure any of this got better after Monday’s debate, although the terrifying reality that yes, these are the best candidates we could find to lead our country, is finally sinking in.

(On a side note, I lost a wager with my colleague Matthew Nash, who won the chance to attend a Sequim City Council meeting rather than be home and entirely without excuse to watch the first presidential debate. Dutifully, I tuned in … and lasted 15 minutes. I suppose I have a weak stomach.)

The frustrating part for me is that, despite the inroads that Trump and Bernie Sanders and other have made (purposefully and otherwise) to try to avoid this exact situation — feeling like one is forced between the lesser of two evils, rather than the championing of one virtuous, dedicated servant-leader over another — ours remains embroiled in the two-party system.

Instead of actually shaking things up and running as independents, viable candidates who lost out on their party’s nomination simply shrunk back behind party lines, presumably for fear of either handing the election to the other party or to make good with their respective party in order to position themselves for a 2020 run at the White House.

Other potential candidates who never bothered to run could have changed everything. I thought of this while reading about former Secretary of State Colin Powell’s recent stark criticism of both Trump and Clinton. While I understand the comments came from Powell’s hacked emails, that he wasn’t going around telling people what a bad choice either would be, it made me wonder, “Mr. Powell, why aren’t you running?” As a viable third choice from the Thank-Goodness-You-

to the possibility of making a mistake, let alone changing the system to correct future errors.

I needed to resolve a bill for charges that were incorrectly billed to us. Our insurance covered it 100 percent.

The billing person of the vendor told me in essence they wouldn’t make such a mistake and that it was a problem with the insurance.

I checked with the insurance who through their records determined they had paid the bill and satisfied the deductible.

The vender disagreed and I became the dog with the bone. I spent considerable time sleuthing and discovered that the vendor had billed the insurance a corrected bill and neglected to return the first insurance

we opened our home to anyone who needed a place to go for a holiday meal.

One year we had over 200 people, but the average was around 80. We decorated and wore our formal clothes to host and thank those that ventured through our door.

Similarly, after-school gatherings would center here with homework and pool and ping pong. I remember once coming home to find 17 cars outside (many on the grass) of student friends of my kids.

Snacks always were available and the location made it a great place to hang out. They were noisy and busy and happy.

Like all big homes, we have had weddings, recitals, all-night video gaming parties, car washes, roller coasters, garage sales, soccer practice, go-carts and you name it. It has been a safe and sheltering spot in the little paradise of Sequim.

Finally, given considerable evidence, the vendor agreed the bill wasn’t owed, said it would return the duplicate payment and not bill us. All of which I thought was true until we received the same bill one year later!

It was a change that never took place. There had been no correction to our bill or the system and when I contacted the vendor again, I had to go through the entire process again.

Just how many times is the customer blamed for a mistake before the system will examine itself?

The answer I believe, is much more than it should and the reason, we should keep documentation.

These nonbinding measures ask voters whether they think the Legislature should “repeal” or “maintain” revenue-generating bills that lawmakers passed this year, Zylstra says.

The Legislature, however, is not obligated to act on the results of the advisory votes. The Legislature used these revenue sources to help balance the supplemental operating budget.

FYI: Advisory votes came from a little-noticed provision of Initiative 960 that was approved in 2007.

This, for those who don’t recall, was a measure that required a twothirds vote in both chambers of the Legislature to raise taxes. (Voters went on to pass I-960 but the State Supreme Court later threw out the two-thirds requirement as unconstitutional.)

Give or take the margin of error.

Either way, I would encourage folks to, despite whatever they feel about their presidential candidate options, to actually vote this November. Also on our ballots will be a few important races, like U.S. Senator and U.S. District 6 Representative, governor, lieutenant governor, Washington’ secretary of state, state treasurer, state auditor, state attorney general, commissioner of public lands, state superintendent of public instruction and insurance commissioner.

Oh, and District 24 state senator and two state representative positions, a Clallam County Commissioner position, a county supreme court judge and others, plus six state initiatives.

Short-changing change

We are probably most guilty of and suffer the most from incomplete or short changing changes, especially big changes, that magnify the small insights we get from the situations described above.

A five-minute exposure to the current political environment or our own battle to improve public school facilities illustrates the high levels of anxiety and tension that can occur around change or lack of.

Here we have a government and political system that has been sophisticated about developing trade and markets beyond our borders, but not sophisticated or interested enough to plan for and with displaced American workers.

skateboarding and sports climbing. The committee obviously had to consider the growing “dude” audience factor. Actually, it’s a great move and capitalizes on the popularity of the X Games.

Tax-ease According to a recent study from SmartAsset, a New Yorkbased financial technology company, Sequim is one of the most tax-friendly places for retirees in Washington. The most friendly, actually.

Based on the company’s Retirement Tax Friendliness Index, which takes into account property, income, fuel, sales and Social Security tax data, Sequim rates a 73.68, topping Toppeninsh (72.86), Chehalis (72.70), Centralia (72.57) and Battle Ground (72.55). Bainbridge Island was ninth (71.95) and Gig Harbor 10th (71.83).

This “study” is, of course, a teaser to get someone to mention their company and website (smartasset. com). So, there you go.

We have a market system that survives through innovation, change and progress.

It’s a system that requires people, educated and unafraid.

Pokémon Stop!

A new study indicates Pokémon Go poses a significant hazard for younger drivers. The Journal of the American Medical Association released a national report earlier this month that tracked 14 Pokémon Go related crashes over a 10-day period in July. When researchers linked drivers’ tweets with crash data found on news reports, they found 18 percent of tweets indicated a person was playing and driving (one text read “omg I’m catching Pokémon and driving”), 11 percent indicated a passenger was playing (“just made sis drive me around to find Pokémon”) and 4 percent showed a pedestrian was distracted (“almost got hit by a car playing Pokémon GO”).

It may seem like a cute problem, but here’s the thing: According to the Department of Licensing, nearly one-quarter of young drivers involved in Washington fatal crashes were driving “distracted” in 2015, up from 18 percent in 2008.

That’s why the Washington State Patrol is urging drivers to put the brakes on using Pokémon Go or other apps while behind the wheel.

It’s also why we media wonks get press releases with this kind of verbiage: “The WSP urges gamers to consider safety over their high score. Below are safety tips to consider before attempting becoming a Pokémon master: • Do not trespass! Please don’t be poking out of bushes at WSP facilities or anyone else’s private property … especially at night as it will most likely trigger security or cause police to respond.

• Please don’t catch and drive, it’s more dangerous than texting while driving.

• If you’re on your way to a PokéStop, know your surroundings and pay attention to where you’re going and who’s around you.”

Across Washington, home prices are rising faster than in any state in the country — and it’s the first time that’s happened in about 25 years.

Washington prices are growing at a rate nearly double the national average, and beating out secondplace Oregon (up 10.3 percent) and third-place Colorado (up 9.5 percent), according to the data firm CoreLogic.

And it’s not just in Seattle and other urban hubs: According to the Runstad Center, Clallam is third among counties in percentage of median retail price increase (02.4 percent, to $259,500) in the second quarter of 2016.

First is Jefferson County at 24.3 percent, second is Skagit at 21.6.

In partnership with WSU Clallam County Extension, the Land Trust co-sponsors the annual event that allowed more than 2,000 individuals to visit local farms in 2015.

“Farm Tour is one of my favorite days of the year,” Sanford said. “It is an incredible opportunity for the whole community to reconnect with the areas agricultural heritage that continues to thrive.”

Just recently, Sarah and Ryan McCarthey, owners of participating Farm Tour farm Dungeness Valley Creamery, received a United States

For WSU Extension Director Clea Rome, “Farm Tour is great opportunity for residents to experience the beauty and diversity of farms we have in this area, and to see firsthand the important role that farms play in contributing to the quality of life in Clallam County,” she said.

The farms involved in this year’s tour offer diverse agricultural experiences, ranging from a raw milk dairy to a Christmas tree and compost farm.

vices but no increase for sewer rates in 2017.

In his budget message, he stated the water increase is needed because it’s “important to maintain the financial health of our utility operations and to meet our current and future debt service requirements, while also maintaining our target reserve levels.”

For only $10 per carload (or free if biking), Farm Tour goers can learn how to make yogurt and butter at Dungeness Valley Creamery; watch a professional sheep-shearer and herding demonstrations with border collies at Lurkalee Gaare; check out antique tractors and choose from the U-pick pumpkin patch while visiting the 1920s farm store Agnew Grocery & Feed; take a hayride through the Christmas trees, apple and pear orchards at Lazy J Tree Farm; learn how to distill lavender at Jardin du Soleil; see elementary agricultural projects in action and take a studentled tour through the Dungeness Wildlife Refuge at Five Acre School;

proposed increase in the 2017 general fund from this year at about $239,000.

Of the city’s projected $30 million budget, capital projects make up 22 percent, or $6.6 million, with $1.6 million set for street projects, $539,000 to park projects, $2.3 million to water projects, $1.7 million to sewer projects and about $68,000 to facilities.

The Transportation Benefit District is budgeted for about $255,000 worth of projects next year, too, with $104,000 proposed for pavement rehabilitation, $71,000 to constructing a Third Avenue bike lane from U.S. Highway 101 to Fir Street and various other projects.

Bush said city staff will continue to analyze city councilors’ goals each budget season and in 2017 the city will be two years away from fully funding equipment reserves.

“For a small city, it’s really a big accomplishment,” he said. “It’ll make us that much more sustainable and able to deliver higher quality services.”

Staffing City administrators propose increasing staffing in 2017 by 1.24 full-time employees to 76.78, which Hagener said is a result of reallocating staff and sharing resources.

Roast Beef

On the verge of reaching the $125,000 campaign goal met, Land Trust officials hope to conclude the campaign alongside the community at this year’s event.

In a warm-up for Farm Tour, Sanford will be leading a public, informational tour at the 60acre Historic Ward Farm that’s targeted for conservation under the campaign at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30.

They’ve proposed creating a few new positions, including a Department of Community Development specialist and part-time temporary project manager.

Police Chief Bill Dickinson may shift from 0.92 to full-time (1.0), Hagener said as they prepare for his and possibly others’ retirements.

Hagener said they’ve proposed reallocating several positions, which results in a change of less than half of a full-time position resulting in the net increase of 1.24 FTE. Total staff salaries come to $5.4 million and $2.4 million for benefits with an expected overall wages increase of 1.4 percent and benefits up 3.5 percent.

Included in the salary increases are planned raises for the non-uniformed bargaining unit at a ¾- percent increase, police sergeants at a 2-percent increase, police officers at a 1-percent increase and non-represented staff at a 1.5-percent increase.

Other proposals

with the Sequim Boys & Girls Club, and $30,000 for the YMCA of Sequim (parks restricted funds).

• The city plans to continue paying off its debt at $665,000 for the Civic Center’s construction.

• City staff propose raising general facility charges by $250.

• All service-related fees are proposed to increase by 2-percent but rental fees are encouraged to go down to promote use.

For those in need of help, the city plans to continue its low-income discount for utilities. Applications are available through the Sequim Civic Center, DSHS, Sequim Community Aid, St. Vincent de Paul, Serenity House, United Way, Shipley Center and on the city’s website at www.sequimwa.gov.

Peninsula’s Captain Joseph House receives two key grants With two recent grants, the Captain Joseph House in Port Angeles is getting closer to being able to provide respite for Gold Star families, the families of fallen military service members.

Since breaking ground on June 24, 2013, volunteers have logged more than 12,000 hours on the project saving the Captain Joseph House Foundation $150,000 off the cost of the remodel. Gold Star mom and CJHF founder Betsy Reed Schultz is more determined than ever to achieve her goal and two new grant awards are bringing her closer.

(Above, Karen McCormick, executive director of the First Federal Community Foundation, presents a check for $25,000 to Schultz.)

A $10,000 grant awarded by the Schultz Family Foundation of Seattle in May and a $25,000 grant awarded by First Federal Community Foundation of Port Angeles in July will take the house from 60 percent to about 70 percent completion. First Federal’s grant funded the heating and cooling systems currently being installed, with Schultz funds applied to dry wall and painting soon to follow.

All work on the house is completed as available dollars allow; the foundation carries no debt.

“In addition to the cash donations and grant awards received and the thousands of volunteer hours logged to date, supporters have contributed more than $98,000 in in-kind donations,” Schultz said. “I am truly inspired and so very grateful to all of these wonderful people and organizations!” Schultz donated the house to the foundation. The Captain Joseph House is open to Gold Star veteran families from all branches of the military.

A way with words Peninsula storyteller to be featured at national festival

BY CHRIS MCDANIEL Olympic Peninsula News Group

Ingrid Nixon of Sequim will be featured in the 44th annual National Storytelling Festival this October in Jonesborough, Tenn.

“It is a big honor,” Nixon, 53, said from Orem, Utah, where she was participating in the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival held each Labor Day weekend.

“The invitation is an indication that festival organizers have faith that my storytelling work has reached a certain high level of crafting and delivery. My goal is to affirm their faith in me.”

The three-day outdoor festival, which begins the first Friday of October each year (Oct. 7-9), draws thousands of travelers to Tennessee’s oldest town each autumn, according to a news release.

The 2016 Festival will feature nearly two dozen storytellers who will take turns performing under big-top tents scattered

across downtown Jonesborough, according to the release.

Nixon will tell about three hours of stories throughout the weekend event, she said “20 minutes of stories here, a 10-minute story there, 50 minutes here.”

While on stage, Nixon said she will tell personal stories and folktales — including stories from the Brothers Grimm — Greek myths, “and perhaps a lie/tall tale or two.”

Nixon is no stranger to tall tales.

In 2014, she was the champion liar at the Liars Contest, held annually at the Port Angeles Library.

“I think it is the most useful trophy ever,” Nixon has said.

Many of Nixon’s stories have been inspired by her years traveling around the globe, she said.

She’s visited all seven continents.

“Since 1987, I have been working on and off in expedition

tourism,” Nixon said, “initially leading trips to places like the Canadian Rockies, Alaska and the Caribbean.”

Later, “I started to get farther and farther afield — Africa, South America, the high Arctic and Antarctica,” Nixon said.

“These days when I work trips, I tell stories to the passengers as we travel — history stories, folk tales and other kinds of stories.

Star stories are popular when we are in remote places and we can see the night sky.”

Nixon currently is in the process of earning a master’s degree in storytelling from East Tennessee State University.

“I am a thesis away from earning my masters,” she said. “I hope to have it in hand by next spring.”

Nixon said she enjoys spinning yarns “for a number of reasons.”

The art form is “creative, engaging and fun,” she continued.

“It’s a way to connect with people and to help people discover their own connections with the world — culturally and with the natural world.”

Also, “stories — even stories on difficult topics — can be very

life-affirming,” Nixon said.

“We — the teller and the audience — discover our shared humanity. It is easy to keep people at arm’s length if you don’t know their story. If you take the time to listen to their stories, it is amazing how the walls between us fall away.”

Before moving to the Dungeness Valley with her husband, Kevin Clement, Nixon served as head naturalist at Denali and Mount Rainier national parks.

“When I shared stories while working for the national parks, stories were a way to help park visitors understand more about the parks, but also to help them discover their own connections with the landscape or the culture or to discover what the place meant to them.”

For Nixon, “telling stories is following my bliss,” she said.

“I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to be doing what I am doing. I love that connection with the audience when you can feel like they are with you.”

When asked what brings a story to life, Nixon replied: “It’s hard to name any one thing and

“The Lord of the Rings” movies contained some rich music — as did the musical “My Fair Lady,” for that matter. So believes Jonathan Pasternack, conductor and music director of the Port Angeles Symphony Orchestra, about to present its annual Pops & Picnic concerts.

A pops concert is a chance to stir together music from the cinema and the stage — plus lighthearted classics from the great masters, as in Mozart, Brahms and Debussy. Pasternack and his 65-member orchestra will serve it all up in two performances: • The Sequim Boys & Girls Club, 400 W. Fir St., Sequim, at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30, • The Vern Burton Community Center, 308 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles, at 7 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 1.

Concert-goers are invited to bring a picnic supper to enjoy at cabaret-style tables, while the symphony provides the soft drinks, the popcorn, the dessert and the music.

Spotlight on our stalwart shrew Natural History Dispatch Tom Butler

A gray-brown puff flashes across the garden in front of you and you ask yourself, “Hey, was that a sprinting wad of lint or am I seeing things?” You look toward a furtive leafy rustle, but it’s gone, of course. It’s on a mission and there’s no time to waste.

The smallest of our mammals, shrews are locked in a frenzied

metabolism unimaginable to us lumbering humans.

We have probably six species of shrew on the peninsula. Most of them weigh about 4-7 grams (an M&M weighs just under a gram). The pygmy shrew of Eastern Washington only weighs about 2-4 M&Ms, which is very close to the theoretical lower

limit for warm-blooded animals.

With such a huge surface area compared to their tiny volume, shrews burn fuel like a Texas Humvee. Most of them need to eat about their own weight in food per day (!) and typically can’t go more than about three

Winter kale salad

From page B-1

Kale offers the same nutritional value as other Brassicas but other benefits as well.

Kale is easier to grow than most of its relatives.

It is cold-hardy and produces even as the weather cools in the fall.

It can be grown in just about any season and most climates, although it does best in areas with cooler summers.

Kale requires less space than other members of its family and produces more food (and food more quickly) because the leaves are eaten (not the flowers).

If the above reasons are not enough, kale is pleasing to the eye with curly- and flat-leafed varieties that come in shades of green, blue-green, pink and purple.

Kale is well-suited to the North Olympic Peninsula. It can be planted in early spring (for a summer crop) or mid-summer (for a fall and winter crop). Overwintered kale often undergoes a growth spurt as the weather warms, providing another small crop in early spring before going to seed.

Kale likes sun, but will tolerate partial shade. It enjoys welldrained, slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5-6.8) but will tolerate other less desirable soil types.

Kale can be grown from transplants or by direct seeding. The soil temperature must be 40 degrees or higher for good seed germination. Plant transplants or sow seeds starting two to four weeks before the average last frost date

From Healthy Living Ingredients: 4 cups kale, shredded 2 cups baby arugula 2 cups radicchio, shredded (if unavailable, double arugula) 1 apple, chopped 2 oranges, segmented 1 cup grapes, halved 2 Tbsp. dried cranberries (or cherries or raisins) ¼ cup pistachios (can substitute chopped peanuts for pistachios) ½ cup crumbled goat cheese Orange honey dressing ¼ cup orange juice 4 Tbsp. honey 2 Tbsp. olive oil Salt and pepper to taste In a large bowl, toss together salad ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients.

Drizzle on top of salad and toss gently. Serves six.

plant is 8-10 inches high. Always harvest the older, larger leaves that are closest to the bottom of the plant. The plant will continue to produce new leaves from the top as it grows taller.

Although tender leaves can be used raw in salads (see recipe below), kale often is used in place of cooked spinach or Swiss chard in recipes. (Kale maintains its body and crunch better than either when cooked.) Kale is delicious in stir-fries, soups and stews. Kale has no fat, is high in vitamins A and C and is a good source of calcium.

Kale seems made for our climate.

It is easy to grow, delicious and nutritious. If you are not yet a kale convert, what are you waiting for?

parents and as funds allow, the orchestra offers scholarships and provides donated instruments to those families with financial difficulties.

Organizers said with strong parent and community support, the orchestra was able to continue on a shoestring budget thanks to dedicated volunteers and its qualified music instructors receiving a small fee.

The Sequim School District provides facilities and afterschool transportation between elementary schools for classes.

Shrews

From page B-1 hours without a meal. (If I were a shrew, that’d mean about 600 quarter-pounders a day, hold the buns, please!)

Frantically scrambling around through the leafy duff, they’ll eat whatever protein they can kill, from spiders, worms and beetles to frogs, slugs and mice. (Mice are no pushovers in a fight, though, and three to five times their size.

A professor of mine once said, “A shrew killing a mouse is like you killing a grizzly with your bare hands.

Thank God they aren’t as big as foxes or they’d kill everything that lives.”)

Some shrews have poisonous saliva, which probably helps. Some of them will eat mushrooms. They can’t take time off to sleep much and certainly don’t hibernate. How any of them survive the winter with such hellacious caloric needs is anyone’s guess.

Our hearts beat around 50-80 beats per minute, maybe twice that if we exercise hard. Shrew heartbeats of a fantastical 1,200 beats per minute have been recorded. That’s got to be close to some sort of limit.

I knew a guy in college who was trying to map shrew territories by trapping them in an array of coffeecan pitfall traps. He’d stay up late at night to check them every few hours and said you had to be very slow and careful looking in the trap. If he opened the trap too quick or shined a bright light, the poor little guys would often look up and just fall over dead. (“Huh? Aaargh!” Plop).

Apparently shrews’ metabolism is cranking along so fast that sudden surprises often tip them over the limit, causing a sort of “Shrew Shock Syndrome.” That or even the briefest shortage of food can bump them off. If you pay attention, it’s not unusual to see their little corpses on the ground right where they dropped mid-stride.

Shrews are ferociously solitary and usually consider each other

Organizers still hope the Sequim School District incorporates the strings class into the school day once funds and space become available.

To support the strings class, send a tax-deductible donation to “Sequim Community Orchestra, PO Box 1681, Sequim, WA, 98382,” with the designation Strings on the check or visit http://sequimcommunityorchestra.org.

only with culinary interest. (I’ve set some coffee-can pitfalls traps baited with a small bit of cat food just to see what’d happen, but after one morning finding one live shrew and a couple of little pink feet from the loser, I quit.)

Apparently, a combination of pheromones and elaborate courtship displays cool the fury long enough to allow mating two or three times a year.

The young are too small to survive as warm-blooded animals and survive only by huddling in a tight, mom-sized, heat-conserving mass.

They don’t live long; a year-old shrew is pretty elderly, a few survive their second summer.

Shrews aren’t much good at avoiding predators. They don’t see well and their hearing is lousy.

Plus, when you’re an animal that can starve to death in three hours, you don’t have much spare time to look around for danger — it’s pointy nose to the grindstone all the time. Their primary defense seems to be bad taste; most animals just won’t eat them. Apparently trout will if they stumble into a creek and hungry jays aren’t too picky either.

The next time you see one lying there on the ground, pick it up and smell it and you’ll know why they never appear on restaurant menus.

Interestingly, that’s one of the primary theories for why we weak, fangless and clawless humans are almost never on predator menus.

Just look at us. We’ve been huge, slow and nutritious for thousands of pre-gun years — really easy pickin’s.

How did any humans ever survive? Apparently, despite the far greater danger posed by riding a fleet and muscular deer to the ground, a cougar just can’t bring itself to eat a slow and stinky human.

Pops

From page B-1 Tickets to either evening are $20 for adults and $5 for youth 16 and under, with proceeds to benefit the 84-year-old community orchestra.

Pasternack, for his part, calls Pops & Picnic a joyful celebration of popular and classical music, with its “My Fair Lady” medley, its selections from “The Lord of the Rings” — and its traditional classics.

“We’re going to preview some of the composers in the coming season, with shorter works such as Brahms’ Hungarian Dances, Dvorak’s Slavonic Dances, two pieces from Aaron Copland’s ‘Rodeo,’ and works by Mozart and Debussy. We’ll play a bit of patriotic music, such as ‘America the Beautiful’ and a Sousa march,” the maestro promised.

Bizet’s “The Pearl Fishers.”

“Pops is not only a great kickoff to our season. It’s also an opportunity to enjoy music and community together,” said Pasternack.

Acne is a chronic disfiguring disease.

Antibiotics and other drugs are expensive and take a long time to work. And they don’t cure the scarring that acne leaves behind.Laser light, however, can easily penetrate deep into the skin and

kill the bacteria that cause acne. Acne flareups resolve quickly. With a series of treatments laser therapy can smooth out and substantially decrease acne scars.

The treatments are quick, painless, and a bargain compared to the alternatives.

Sequim’s cross country teams came within a point of a full sweep at their first Olympic League meet in Silverdale on Sept. 21, winning both varsity races and narrowly missing another win in the junior varsity boys races to Port Townsend.

Sophomores led the way for Sequim in the varsity boys’ race.

Despite a wrong turn that added 150-200 yards to his race, Sequim’s Ash Francis led the way in the boys’ varsity race with a 15:58 finish, with teammate Murray Bingham second

In the girls’ race, Morgan Bingham won by nearly 90 seconds with an 18:46 finish. Teammate Kiara Pierson was second at 20:15.

Adrienne Haggerty overcomes two North Kitsap blockers to score a point for the Wolves on Sept. 22. Sequim Gazette photo by Matthew Nash

Peninsula’s foes last week looked to solve the mystery behind knocking off the topranked Pirates and came up blank.

The Pirates (5-0-0 in conference play, 7-0-1 overall) scored a pair of shutouts against ranked teams to remain perfect in conference play and run their winning streak to six, an NWAC-best.

PC capped the week with a 3-0 shutout of No. 7-ranked Edmonds at home on Sept. 24.

Juan Carrillo opened the scoring in the 14th minute when he picked up a loose ball outside the box and beat the Triton keeper on the right side.

The 1-0 score stood up for most of the match, but the Pirates found some insurance in the 73rd and 77th minutes, courtesy of Carrillo and Saul Araiza.

Carrillo volleyed it to the near post where Araiza used the outside of his foot to direct it into the Triton mesh for his first goal of the season and a 2-0 PC lead.

The final score came when Carillo got the ball on the left side, turned his defender and put a shot on goal that was deflected by the Triton keeper; Araiza was there for the putback.

Pirate keeper Brannon Dwyer recorded his second straight shutout on a relatively quiet day in net.

North Kitsap proved to be a tough foe as they swept Sequim on the Wolves’ home court Sept. 22.

The Vikings won 25-10, 25-15 and 25-20.

“We were struggling to servereceive and then could not put the ball in play,” Sequim coach Jennie Webber Heilman said.

Ella Christiansen led the team with six kills and Adrienne Haggerty had five. Sydney Balkan added 11 digs, six assists and two kills.

“In the third game we started playing better and were ahead most of the game,” Webber Heilman said, but with the game tied at 20-20, NK senior Bri Duchemin led a Viking rally from the front row that scored five consecutive points.

Duchemin had 17 kills, 18 digs and four blocks while Elena Vasquez finished with 15 digs, Caitlyn Kyser had 10 digs and Hope Doherty added 33 assists to lead the Vikings.

On Sept. 20, Sequim swept a threegame series with North Mason on the road, winning 25-17, 25-10 and 26-24.

Christiansen was 20-for-23 on serves with seven aces, Jadyn Overby-Morginson and Kaila Sundquist paced the offense with four kills each and Balkan added a team-high nine assists.

Haggerty had two blocks and libero Isabelle Dennis added 10 digs to lead the defense.

Wolves edge Knights in thriller Opening kickoff is enough as Sequim wins league opener

BY MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

In the waning seconds of their Olympic League-opener against Bremerton last week Sequim finally caught a break, recovering their own fumble near the Knights’ goal line.

“Everything close (had) gone their way,” Sequim head coach Erik Wiker said. Everything, except the score.

Sequim junior Gavin Velarde returned the game’s opening kickoff 95 yards for the only score and the Wolves’ stout defense dominated Bremerton in a 7-0 SHS victory on Sept. 23.

“I told the kids, it’s a little like a playoff game,” Wiker said, reminding the players that Bremerton was the team that’s knocked Sequim out of the postseason two seasons in a row. “In the end, it might why we get into the playoffs.”

“Bremerton’s been my bugaboo,” Wiker said.

Not on this night. Despite a slew of penalties — 11 for 108 yards — and an offense that sputtered at times, Sequim won this key road victory on the same field they saw postseason hopes dashed 11 months earlier.

Sequim’s James Thayer tackles Bremerton tight end Troy Saunders in the Wolves’ win at Bremerton last week. Thayer and the SHS defense held Bremerton to 128 total yards, 34 through the air.

In that 2015 matchup, Velarde had a monster game (10 receptions, 162 yards and a TD) but fumbled late in the fourth quarter, setting up the Knights’ gamewinning score.

This time it was Velarde making the difference, scoring the lone points after going nearly untouched on the opening play.

“I wanted redemption after my fumble,” said Velarde, an allOlympic League special-teamer and receiver in 2015.

“I thought we’d put more on there (on the scoreboard),” Velarde said. “We had a little bit of miscommunication and penalties. It hurts, but we were fighting through adversity.”

The Wolves, led sophomore

quarterback Riley Cowan (18-for43 for 169 yards), struggled to finish, seeing three drives end inside Bremerton’s 30-yard-line in the first half alone.

A number of penalties, four turnovers and a running game that never got going (67 yards on 25 attempts) didn’t help either, Wiker said.

Part of that was the Knights’ physicality.

“They play tough and (have) great athletes,” the Sequim coach said, (but our) defense did an excellent job.”

While Sequim amassed 83 yards in first-half penalties, the Wolves kept Bremerton quarterback

Whatcom and Edmonds proved to be no match in these North Division matches against one of the the nation’s best junior college squads.

Peninsula’s women scored a pair of blowout wins last week to run their season mark to 5-0-0 in conference play and 6-1-1 overall.

The Pirates ran past visiting Edmonds 7-0 on Sept. 24 to the delight of PC’s hometown fans, getting three scores in the first half against a Triton team that brought just 12 players to the matchup.

Sophomores Ellie Small and YOSHIMURA Coby Yoshimura each had a pair of goals to lead the Pirates. Marriah Perez, Kennady Whitehead and Sydney Warren tallied the other three goals. Assists came from Kelly Kevershan with two and Perez, Ellie Small and freshman sister Emilee Small.

Pirate keepers Akari Hoshino, Cicely Warnick, Malia Henderson and Natalie Carreon combined for the shutout.

“We were able to play all the players on the roster,” PC head coach Kayon Anderson said.

Peninsula has outscored opponents 31-4 this season, 25-0 in the past five conference games.

The Lady Wolves are finding success after regulation ends.

Last week, Sequim defeated North Mason (1-2, 1-3-2) in Belfair on Sept.

20 in overtime and North Kitsap (2-2, 3-2) on Sept. 22, in Sequim in a shootout.

Against the Vikings at home, the Wolves (2-1 in league, 4-2 overall) won in the shootout 1-0 after finishing regulation and overtime tied with no goals.

Sequim’s head coach Derek Vander Velde said the game was intense as North Kitsap was “relentless on their attack but Sequim was able to contain them with gritty play and a commendable display of determination on the field.”

There were several hard-hitting moments including pokes and pushes but Sequim overcame in penalty shots 3-1.

Goalkeeper Claire Henninger, defender Erin Vig and forward Jessica Dietzman scored for the Wolves to give them the win. On the game, Henninger had 13 saves and Sequim had 10 goal shots, too.

Vander Velde said the team ran onto the field with tears in their eyes because “you could see how much this meant to them.”

He added that the whole team contributed and also highlighted Cristina Williams and Chloie Sparks for their efforts.

“It was an incredible game to witness as the they battled hard,” he said.

In the win in Belfair, the Bulldogs struck first in the first half but Dietzman on an assist from Daisy Ryan evened it at 1-1 before halftime.

Clallam disc golfing course taking shape

BY ROB OLLIKAINEN

Olympic Peninsula News Group

Crews last week were building the last two holes of an 18-hole disc golf course that soon will open in east Clallam County.

County Parks, Fair and Facilities Director Joel Winborn said the new park off Thompson Road northeast of Blyn should be open to the public by the end of this year.

“We’re making great progress this week,” Winborn said Sept.

20. “Hopefully it will be ready here within the next couple of months.”

The long-planned course sits on 40 acres of county land on the Miller Peninsula about 9 miles east of Sequim and 2 miles from the Jefferson County line.

Volunteers, maintenance staff and a chain gang inmate work crew have been cutting vegetation and grading the 20-foot-wide

“We dominated the the first two games with tough serving and defensive play,” Webber Heilman said.

“In the third game we got behind by not passing serve receive well and unforced errors.”

Going fourth at Monarch Challenge Sequim also saw action at the Sept. 24 Monarch Challenge in Longview, hosted by Mark Morris High School, on Sept. 24, earning a 4-3 mark and placing fourth overall.

Sequim opened pool play with a two-set win against River Ridge, 25-16, 27-26. After a loss to Kalama (25-17, 25-19) the Wolves topped defeated WF West 25-20 and 25-23 to advance to the upper bracket.

fairways.

Signs will be installed before the free course opens to disc golfers of all skill levels.

“This will be a first-rate course,” Winborn said.

Disc golf is played by throwing a Frisbee-like flying disc into a series of elevated metal baskets or holes.

Players are challenged by trees, shrubs and varying terrain as they negotiate the course by making consecutive throws from where the previous throw landed.

Like in regular golf, the objective is to hole out in as few attempts as possible.

“We’ve had a lot of people over the years who have requested this type of an activity in our county,” Winborn said.

“The sport has really grown a lot of over the last decade.”

The Professional Disc Golf Association has more than 86,000

members playing on thousands of permanent courses around the world, including 323 in the Pacific Northwest, according to its website.

The North Olympic Peninsula has permanent disc golf courses at Lincoln Park in Port Angeles, Calvary Chapel in Sequim and H.J. Carroll Park in Chimacum.

Volunteers will help maintain the Thompson Road Disc Golf

Course, which cost the county about $20,000 for metal chain pins, concrete slab tee boxes, signs and miscellaneous items, Winborn has said.

Disc golf proponents lobbied county commissioners to open a course at Robin Hill Farm County Park near Sequim in 2007. That idea was shelved after neighbors and park users objected.

County officials considered building a course at the Dungeness and Salt Creek recreation areas before selecting the Thompson Road site, which does not yet have an official address.

The course is located on the left side of Thompson Road as you travel north, Winborn said.

The property was acquired by Clallam County as a tax foreclosure in 1928. It was used as depository for debris from an estuary restoration project on Jimmycomelately Creek in 2004.

Last December, county commissioners voted to rezone the 40acre site from rural low to parks and recreation, which enabled crews to begin construction.

Once completed, the Thompson Road Disc Golf Course will become Clallam County’s 21st park and 18th day-use facility.

“One of the things our parks board tries to do is to bring things to the community that a private individual wouldn’t necessarily have the ability to do,” Winborn said.

“This fits that niche quite well.”

a loss to Timberline, 25-19, 25-20), Sequim outlasted Battle Ground in three games (20-25, 25-19, 16-14).

In the third/fourth place match, a rematch with Kalama, Sequim improved but still fell, 25-20, 25-21.

“Our goal was to improve our play through the day which we did, even though the girls were pretty tired at the end — we finally finished our last game at 8:45 p.m.,” Webber Heilman said.

“We still need to work on our serve receive, but we served tough through the tourney and our hitting and blocking greatly improved,” she said. “Another good thing that the girls did was they played hard no matter if we were ahead or behind.”

Looking ahead Sequim was scheduled to play at rival Port Angeles on Sept. 27 — results were not available at press time.

From page B-5 Mikhail Papillon and the Knights to just 50 yards of offense.

It didn’t get much better for the Knights in the second half, as Sequim repeatedly forced long third- and fourthdown situations.

Bremerton finished with just nine first downs and 128 yards of total offense.

Bremerton looked to catch a huge break when Velarde fumbled a punt return at the end of the third quarter, but

the Wolves’ defense forced a turnover on downs. Sequim went on to force two more turnovers-on-downs to close out the game.

Velarde said Sequim will need to do a better job of completing drives if they want to continue to postleague wins.

“Scoring in the red zone for sure (is the key),” he said.

“We need to finish. We were getting there, but we need to finish.”

The Wolves haven’t given up a point in the last six quarters.

Kim Knudson’s second-graders are learning about measuring objects with centimeter cubes. What better way than to measure a freshly shed snake skin brought in by student Colby Waters?

The children were fascinated with the silkiness of the skin and immediately wondered how long it was. It was decided it must be measured. Groups of students worked together, taking turns to carefully measure the length of the skin to produce the most accurate data.

Results varied from 110 cm to 140 cm. The actual length was determined to be 130 cm. This was a very enthralling math lesson!

SEQUIM GAZETTE

Curbing violence at the beginning Most people are concerned about the violence in our society. We need to remember that all the people who commit violent acts, were at one time, children. What can we do as parents to prevent our children from becoming part of the violence that is so prevalent in our society? Is there anything we can do to prevent violence? The answer to these questions is most emphatically … YES! As a parent, you are the most important and influential person in your child’s life. He watches you for clues about what is appropriate and what isn’t. If you are a threatening person, he is likely to become a threatening person.

If you holler and scream at him or at your partner, he is more likely to use the same response when he is angry. If you use hitting as a way of expressing your anger, he likely will imitate your behavior. If you take him with you to see violent movies or allow him to watch violence on television, he will begin to feel that the

Parenting Matters Cynthia Martin

violent behavior he sees is normal.

If you allow him to abuse others, his friends, animals, and even yourself, even when he is a toddler, you are giving him your approval.

If you purchase toys for him that encourage violence, once again you are saying to him that you approve of violent behavior.

No matter what you do, your child still may show some violence. Even if you don’t buy him guns or violent toys, he may pretend that other objects are guns. And in each child’s life, some violence will creep in no matter how diligent you are as a parent.

Your response to your child’s anger really matters. Don’t just be angry yourself. Be careful how you express your anger because you are teaching your child how to express his. Never belittle him when you are angry. Saying things like “Don’t you have a brain?” or “What’s wrong with you?” conveys a negative message to your child about who he is.

It is OK to be angry. We all get there from time to time. But many words hurt, especially for children who believe you, so choose words carefully. Your child is learning about himself by how you see him.

Here are some things you can teach your child.

1. Stay calm if possible. Talk to your child about moving away from situations when they get out of control. Talk to him about breathing deeply and relaxing.

2. Meet together as a family.

Talk through problems that are developing in your family so that your child learns that talking, not

But as he grows older, with your help and example, he will learn that words work better than hitting and that talking is better than screaming.

Vicki Lansky, in her book, “Practical Parenting Tips,” discusses ways parents can help their children vent their anger in appropriate ways: “Encourage your child to vent anger physically by running around outdoors, punching a big batch of play dough or hitting a tree with a stick.

Teach the child to count to five in a loud, angry voice, to play an angry song on a musical instrument or to dance an angry dance.

Shout something loud with your child and let your voices drop … drop … until there’s silence.

Ask an angry child to draw a picture showing the angry feelings — a creative way to relieve them.

Help your child deal with anger by creating a Rage Rock. Pick out a rock together, paint it, then have your child squeeze it when angry.

Keep it in a convenient location.”

fighting, will solve problems.

3. Teach by example. If your child sees you solving problems with words, he is likely to imitate your behavior. On the other hand, he also will imitate your behavior if you use physical methods to solve problems.

4. Cut down on the negative examples in his life. Monitor what your child watches; then you can talk together about what people could have done differently. Talk about school problems that your child has experienced and how those could have been handled differently.

But while he is young, make a commitment to yourself and to him to control the violence that he is exposed to. Make a commitment to help him discover more appropriate ways for him to handle his anger. Help him to learn to control his anger and express it verbally, not physically.

Make a commitment to help change society. You are his most important teacher, even about violence.

BY GREG MADSEN For the Sequim Gazette

As we slide into fall, we can look toward spring and the stunning flowering of the six cherry trees that welcome us into Sequim’s Pioneer Memorial Park.

These trees thank the first six presidents of the Sequim Prairie Garden Club for their

dedication in transforming a weed and scrub infested abandoned cemetery into a glorious retreat.

In 1961, ceremonial placards identified each tree’s honoree: Martha Clasen, Marvel Vail, Nora Lee Klinger, Grace Blank, Sophie Blair and Alta Cameron. We don’t know who’s who today because the

Family Flicks series kicks off with ‘The Incredibles’

691698468

The 2016-2017 Family Flicks movie series kicks off with a screening of “The Incredibles” at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1, at the Sequim Library.

A 2004 Academy- and Annie Awardwinning superhero film written and directed

by Brad Bird, this film was produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The film follows a family of superheroes who are forced to hide their powers and live a quiet suburban life until

placards are gone.

I would suggest an alphabetical renaming. When you enjoy these trees, please thank — from east to west — Alta, Grace and Martha; Marvel, Nora and Sophie.

Do you know a tree with a story? An unusual tree? A very large tree? We’d like to know about it. Contact us at news@sequimgazette.com.

Mr. Incredible’s desire to help people draws the family into a battle with a villain and his killer robot.

Offered at 2 p.m. on the first Saturday of every month, October-April, the Family Flicks series provides fun family entertainment, popcorn and movie trivia for free.

Other movies in the series are “The Good Dinosaur” on Nov. 5 and “Norm of the North” on Dec. 3.

Norm becomes the mascot of the corporation in an attempt to bring it down from the inside and protect his homeland.

For a complete Family Flicks schedule or more information about other upcoming family programs, visit www.nols.org, call the Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave., at 683-1161 or email to youth@nols.org.
