Sequim to explore direct ownership of John Wayne Marina

City puts MAT poll decision on hold BY MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

To poll or not to poll: A decision on whether the city council will gauge public opinion on the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe’s proposed medicated-assisted treatment (MAT) facility with an internet poll remains on hold. Councilors voted 4-2 — with Candace Pratt and Bob Lake against — to postpone a vote to the Oct. 14 meeting, so that absent city councilor Jennifer States could weigh in and city staff can explore other polling questions. Councilor Ted Miller initially proposed using the city’s online polling system, Polco, to ask residents about the MAT facility on Sept. 9. In a statement to city councilors at their Sept. 23 meeting, Miller said the city remains divided and that councilors have witnessed rhetoric from both MAT proponents and opponents.

Ward Bridge to open by early October BY MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Ward Bridge along Woodcock Road and over the Dungeness River tentatively reopens in early October. Clallam County officials closed the bridge in late June and a section of Woodcock from milepost 2.27 to milepost 2.39 to repair the bridge’s piers and resurface its roadway. Clallam County engineer Pat McElroy said

contractor Bruch & Bruch Construction, Inc., of Port Angeles anticipates paving the roadway the last full week of September and finishing construction the first week of October barring weather. The approximate $1.2 million project is on budget too, McElroy said. He said the bridge’s piers were built in the late 1930s and its superstructure rebuilt in late 1970s.

The City of Sequim’s leaders plan to take a more “direct” approach in their request for the city to take on ownership of the John Wayne Marina from the Port of Port Angeles. Rather than partnering with the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe in potential management of the marina, Sequim City Manager Charlie Bush proposed the city draft a Request for Information, RFI, to the Port that transfers the BUSH marina to the city. “They (the tribe) would not compete with us but support it,” Bush said at the Sept. 23 city council meeting. He said this is contrary to city discussions in June, when city officials considered developing a public engagement process. However, Bush said, “a lot of things changed in our community over the summer,” leading to a July discussion with the tribe about the city’s full ownership proposal. “The tribe was amenable to that perspective,” Bush said. “If we want to do partnerships with the tribe at the marina, that’s something we could talk about down the road.”

A federal judge ruled last week in favor of Olympic Medical Center and other hospitals across the country that the Trump Administration did not have the authority to implement a rule that would have cost the Clallam County hospital more than $47 million over the next decade. U.S. District Judge Rosemary M. Collyer filed her memorandum LEWIS opinion in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Tuesday, vacating portions of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) rule that led to Olympic Medical Center delaying construction at its Sequim campus and slashing its budget. “It’s just outstanding news for our community and Olympic Medical Center’s patients and we are thrilled with the court’s decision that came out (Sept. 17),” said OMC CEO Eric Lewis last week.

OMC

From page A-1 He said he has not yet discussed the decision with the hospital’s board of commissioners, but said staff are working on the 2020 operating budget and capital budget currently. The cut started at 30 percent this year, but was poised to increase to 60 percent in 2020. “I think we will have to be conservative until we know exactly how and when the reimbursement is going to change,” he said. “How we do the 2020 budget is to be determined.” CMS implemented the “site neutrality” rule in November, a move that had cut Medicare reimbursements by 60 percent at clinics that are more than 250 yards away from a hospital’s main campus. The ruling does not affect Jefferson Healthcare or Forks Community Hospital. “CMS believes it is paying millions of taxpayer dollars for patient services in hospital outpatient departments that could be provided at less expense in physician offices. CMS May be correct,” Collyer wrote in her conclusion. “But CMS was not authorized to ignore the statutory process for setting payment rates in the Outpatient Prospective Payment System and to lower payments only for certain services performed by certain providers.” Olympic Medical Center became a named plaintiff in the American Hospital Association lawsuit in December after 1,780 Clallam County

residents wrote to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to argue against the 60 percent cuts to Medicare reimbursements at off-site clinics.

Future uncertain While the court ruled in favor of Olympic Medical Center, Chief Human Resources Officer and General Counsel Jennifer Burkhardt said the future is uncertain. The judge wrote that while vacating the rule, she would not require CMS to issue payments that were improperly withheld, citing case law that the rule must be remanded to the agency for further action. A joint-status report is due by Tuesday, Oct. 1.

Burkhardt said the hospital’s position is that CMS should pay back about $1.7 million it withheld from OMC and that the government should not be permitted to make any further cuts. She said she feels the court’s opinion positions the hospitals for a good outcome and she is confident the hospitals will be successful if the government appeals. “The Court finds that CMS exceeded its statutory authority when it cut the payment rate for clinic services at off-campus provider-based clinics,” Collyer wrote. “The Court will grant (the hospitals’) motions, deny CMS’ cross-motion, vacate the rule, and remand.”

Burkhardt believes Olympic Medical Center’s story and that of the 1,780 Clallam County residents who commented on the rule as it was proposed resonated with the court. While the first foot-note in the 28-page opinion does not mention OMC’s Sequim campus by name, it says “an off-campus provider-based department may be located away from the main hospital … because the hospital wants to have an affiliated facility in a different (oftentimes underserved) neighborhood.” “The footnote gives us every reason to believe the court recognized the circumstances in Sequim,” Burkhardt said.

Clallam County comments The opinion also mentions that CMS received nearly 3,000 comments, many of which argued that CMS lacked statuary authority to implement the rule, but the government “nonetheless” decided to do so. Collyer wrote that Con-

gress had already settled the argument on “site neutrality” when it adopted the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015. That law limited reimbursements to future off-site clinics, but grandfathered in clinics like OMC’s Sequim and Port Angeles clinics. The court recognized that CMS has been given the right to “develop a method for controlling the unnecessary increases in volume of services” under Medicare, but wrote that the “method” used was not allowed. The judge wrote that the “method” is not “a pricesetting tool, and the government’s effort to wield it in such a manner is manifestly inconsistent with the statutory scheme.” The American Hospital Association and Association of American Medical Colleges released a statement Tuesday saying they are pleased with the decision. “The ruling, which will allow hospitals to maintain access to important services

for patients and communities, affirmed that the cuts directly undercut the clear intent of Congress to protect hospital outpatient departments because of the many real and crucial differences between them and other sites of care,” the AHA and AAMC said in a joint statement. “Now that the court has ruled, it is up to the agency to put forth remedies for impacted hospitals and the patients they serve.” Of Olympic Medical Center’s patients, 83 percent rely on government-paid insurance with 58.63 percent of all patients relying on Medicare, the lawsuit said. The hospital provides outpatient services at eight off-site clinics that Congress agreed should receive higher Medicare reimbursement rates, according to the lawsuit. U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer, DGig Harbor, visited Olympic Medical Center in May to learn about how the cuts had halted the hospital’s plans to expand on the Sequim campus. Kilmer has called the rule “outrageous” and has promoted the Protecting Local Access to Care for Everyone Act to fight the policy. “Today’s ruling is great news for hospitals seeking to provide affordable care in rural communities, especially in areas where we already face a shortage of qualified care providers,” Kilmer said in a statement released Sept. 17. “Hospitals should be encouraged to bring their services closer to the people they care for, not be penalized for it. That’s why earlier this year, I introduced bipartisan legislation to ensure that regional hospitals, like Olympic Medical Center, can continue to make health care more accessible to more people. “Today’s decision will help keep access to care in rural regions and keep jobs in rural communities.”

SEQUIM GAZETTE

Town hall set for city council candidates Four running unopposed to consider questions about MAT, marina, workforce housing SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF Four candidates for the Sequim City Council are running unopposed this fall, but they’re getting their own town hall-style forum nonetheless. The Independent Advisory Association is hosting a town hall for the four candidates — incumbents Wil-

liam Armacost and Jennifer States and council newcomers Tom Ferrell and Troy Tenneson — starting at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 9, in the city council chambers at the Sequim Civic Center, 152 W. Cedar St. “Each one of these contests consists of a single candidate, thus virtually assuring the one candidate election to the position without

having to campaign or meet with Sequim voters,” said Donnie Hall, principal for the Advisory Association. “The Independent Advisory Association has been established to foster better government through improved access to candidates and elected officials among other activities.” Candidates will answer two questions covering three topics: • Role of the City of Sequim in the future of the John Wayne Marina • Development of workforce

housing in the City of Sequim • Medication-assisted opioid treatment for Sequim The town hall will take the form of question-and-answer between a moderator supplied by the association and candidates. Questions will be provided to candidates before the town hall. Candidates are asked to remain after the session for interaction with individual voters. Because of limited seating, Hall noted, public participation will be limited to City of Sequim residents and members of the press, and no

questions will be taken from the floor. Each of the four candidates are scheduled to appear, Hall said, but noted States may not be able to attend because of a personal matter. In the Nov. 5 general election, Armacost and States are running for City Council Positions 1 and 2 while Tenneson is running for Position 6 — now held by Bob Lake — and Ferrell for Position 7, now held by former mayor Candace Pratt. Lake and Pratt declined to run for their positions.

Marina

From page A-1 In March, the Peninsula Daily News reported that Port of Port Angeles officials began seeking information from potential owners and managers for the marina asking how they would operate the marina and make repairs estimated to cost $26 million between 20232038. Proposals will be reviewed by commissioners at a Dec. 10 public meeting. If the city were to take on ownership, Bush said, “we have 10-15 years to work through the infrastructure issues.” “One of the eyes wide open things to consider is there’s the possibility we’re not going to be able to fund some of the things that need to be funded,” he said. “We need to be OK with that before we go down that road. There could be some level of decommissioning or changes at the marina and the property there. Long term, regardless, we would have protected the waterfront.” City councilors agreed with Bush’s approach and directed him without vote

Leading up to December, city of Sequim officials say they will draft a request for information for the Port of Port Angeles to take on ownership of the John Wayne Marina.

From page A-1 Miller proposed an impartial moderator “experienced in addiction issues with a medical background to conduct meetings in which the participants are encouraged to express their concerns in a low-pressure environment, and most importantly to get objective answers.” He said a Polco survey is a “valuable first step.” “The primary purpose of the survey is not to find the exact percentage that favor, oppose or are unsure,” Miller said. “The primary purpose is to determine why the opponents and unsure are not supporting the MAT. This will provide a focal point to either correct misconceptions

or provide an impetus to address the concerns.” Councilor Brandon Janisse said he liked the idea of asking the public questions, but that he was concerned about skewed results. He said he asked if city staff could come up with options other than Polco to reach more people. City Manager Charlie Bush said city staff will look into it. “It’s a tough problem to solve, given the timing involved,” he said. “For example, if you want to do an advisory ballot measure, it’s months out. It’s also a large price tag.” Lake said “the ballot doesn’t make sense because we’re not voting on it.” He compared it to the city’s advisory vote on commercial firework use where residents voted for a ban, and city councilors followed it with

Direct it towards something more positive.” He encouraged residents to sign up for a Neighborhood Watch program, Map Your Neighborhood and Community Emergency Response Team. Lake said an online poll vote could be divisive. “My concern is when people use statistics in an inappropriate way,” he said. “Unless you have a random sample, you’re going to get a skewed result. That just adds to the division in our town.” Pratt said she’s against the online poll because she finds Miller’s questions “politically charged” and the data will be unreliable because it won’t reach all the citizens in Sequim who don’t go online, read the

Mayor Dennis Smith voted to extend a decision but said he doesn’t want an online poll, either. “I don’t like the idea of a Polco poll, but I don’t have an answer for what to do get that information that might be beneficial,” Smith said. “The other negative is, what do we do when we get the results? If we get the possibly skewed results we get, what are we going to do with that?” City councilor William Armacost favors a poll in some capacity, saying, “In order to serve our constituents we have to give them the opportunity to be heard.” “We have too much energy in the problem and not enough energy in the solution … their input is critical,” Armacost said. “Our personal opinions should have nothing to

Late actor John Wayne donated land that the marina was built on in 1975 and transferred by his family to the port in 1981. Heartland, a Seattle real estate advisory and investment firm, was hired by the Waynes to explore redevelopment options for the marina and the family’s 105 acres adjacent to the marina. Prior to December, Bush said city staff will work with stakeholders like the tribe and Wayne family to draft RFI language for port officials. He said city council will likely need to approve an RFI before moving forward. Representatives for the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe and Wayne Enterprises were not available for comment by press time.

do with this decision. It should be based on the needs of the citizens of Sequim.” Armacost said he understands the city is in a position that it can’t do anything legally to stop the proposed MAT facility but there’s a “potential to make an impact on the heart of soul of the Jamestown Tribe” by hearing from concerned residents. Miller said he’s not interested in the number of those for or against but the reasons. “There’s no bias in asking why they’re opposed,” he said.

From page A-1 “It was starting to drop due to the river cutting into the piers,” McElroy said. To prevent future bridge scour, crews spent about a month digging 11 feet next to each pier and placing riprap. McElroy said crews detoured the Dungeness River for each pier and used three 8-inch hoses to keep the holes dry. Each pier was repaired with epoxy, too. “They are better than when they were new,” he said. The pedestrian walkways will remain largely the same with some repairs to one section that was damaged by a tree. Accessing the walkways along the sides of the bridge should be easier to access though, McElroy said, without a concrete barrier blocking them. Crews also expanded parking on the west side of the

Turnovers cost Wolves against North Kitsap BY CONOR DOWLEY

Olympic League standings

Sequim Gazette

Turnovers and penalties sank the Wolves as Sequim lost 16-8 to the North Kitsap Vikings in Poulsbo on Sept. 20, in their first Olympic League game of the season. After the Wolves blocked a field goal on North Kitsap’s opening drive, the Vikings scored on their second drive on a 1-yard Josh Fisher run. The second and third quarters were marred by a series of miscues from Sequim, with several fumbled snaps turning into turnovers deep in the Wolves’ territory. The Vikings turned two of those into field goals in the second quarter Garrett Hoesel tries to haul in a pass while holding off North Kitsap’s before Sequim could get on the Colton Bower. Hoesel led the Wolves in receptions with five catches board, capitalizing on a muffed for 56 yards. Photo courtesy of Mark Krulish/Olympic Peninsula Newsgroup punt to take over deep in NK ter-

ritory before Taig Wiker found Hayden Eaton for a 20-yard touchdown pass, closing the gap to 13-6. The third quarter saw another Wolves’ fumble deep in their own territory turn into a Vikings field goal, though Sequim finally started to get some momentum going their way.

Their defense held strong against the Vikings’ best attempts, and Wiker and Walker Ward got the running game rolling while Hosel and Isaiah Moore made several key receptions to keep drives moving. The Wolves struggled in the red zone, twice turning the ball over on downs deep in Vikings territory. One of those turnovers, however, turned into a safety after multiple Sequim linebackers sniffed out a run from the 2-yard-line and combined to haul down Vikings running back Taylor Jackson in the end zone. Despite the turnovers and a hostile crowd, Sequim had a chance to tie the game in the last minute. The Wolves marched down to the

Sequim splits with Bremerton, Olympic BY MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

For the second time in three matches, Sequim went down to the wire with a key league foe before falling in a close fifth game. The Wolves (1-2 in league play, 1-3 overall) took host Olympic to the proverbial wire before falling in five games on Sept. 19. Sequim dropped the first two games, 25-18 and 27-25, before rebounding to dominate the third and fourth games, 25-16 and 25-20. “Our girls did a great job coming back after losing the first two,” Sequim coach Jennie Webber Heilman said. “We got a lead in the fifth when Kiana (Robideau) served four aces in a row, but Olympic’s offense was more consistent than ours and got the win.” Olympic edged Sequim 15-

12 in the final frame. Kendall Hastings had 10 kills and Kalli Wiker added 22 assists to pace the offense. Robideau was the serving star going 28-of-29 with 12 aces — including four in a row in the third game. She added six kills. McKenna Hastings was 20-of-21 serving and had three of Sequim’s 21 aces. Jessica Asselin (21 digs), Robideau (16) and Wiker (13) led the defense. “Kalli was setting well … and playing great defense,” Webber Heilman said. Allie Gale had three aces in a row in the third game.

Wolves best Bremerton Sequim shrugged off a tough, five-set loss to Port Angeles to open the season with a three-set rout of Bremerton on Sept. 17. The Wolves pounced on the Knights for games of 25-

14, 25-12 and 25-13. Still, Webber Heilman said her team could have been sharper early on, particularly after holding a slim 15-14 lead in the first game. That’s when Wiker, a junior captain, stepped up with some tough serves. “We started slow in the match, missing five serves and not moving well on defense,” she said. “Kalli … served ten points in a row with four aces. For the rest of the match we were serving tough.” Wiker finished 26-of-28 on serves with a team-high nine aces. Robideau was 10-of-11 with four aces as the Wolves were 64-of-72 (89 percent) from the service line. Sequim finished with 16 aces overall. The Wiker-Robideau combination worked well on offense, with Robideau earning a team-high nine kills and Wiker adding 11 assists and four kills.

Kendall Hastings had all four blocks for the Wolves, and Asselin added a teamhigh nine digs. “After the first game we played much better on defense,” Webber Heilman said.

Mixed results at Tacoma tourney The Wolves won two of five matches against schools from across the region at the Tacoma-Pierce County Vol-

leyball Officials tourney on Sept. 21 at Washington High School in Tacoma. Sequim dropped its first match to 3A Peninsula, 2511, 25-10, 17-16. “Peninsula ran a very quick offense which we have not seen yet,” Webber Heilman said. “We adjusted and played better the third game.” In match No. 2, Sequim rebounded to top Thunder Mountain (Alaska), 26-24,

In the playoff bracket, Sequim topped 1A Granite Falls 25-15, 25-7 in the first round before falling to 2A Orting 25-14, 25-17. “It did not help that we had to sit out for over an hour before playing,” Webber Heilman said. “We were just too flat and not moving well.”

Looking ahead Sequim, who dropped a non-league match to undefeated 1A Klahowya on Sept. 23, was scheduled to host North Kitsap on Sept. 24 — results were not available at press time. The Wolves are at North Mason on Oct. 1 before hosting Kingston on Oct. 3 and rival Port Angeles on Oct. 8.

They may go their respective ways in the postseason, but Port Townsend and Sequim took on the look of rivals at the Wolves’ home cross country meet on Sept. 18. Racing without sophomore star Riley Pyeatt, who would return to action days later (see below), Sequim’s girls got strong performances from its seven runners —five of them underclassmen — in edging out Port Townsend’s 1A Redhawks by a single point, 28-29 (low score wins). Junior Jessica German and freshman Anastasia Updike raced the 3.1-mile course at Robin Hill County Park in 25:12 and 25:13, respectively, to place third and fourth behind Redhawk seniors Anika Avelino (22:35) and Rachel Matthes (23:53). SHS freshman Macy Cogburn was sixth (25:53), while senior Emily Silva (eighth, 25:42) and sophomore Aidyn Shingleton (ninth, 28:01) rounded out the Wolves’ scorers.

Roughriders top Wolves in league showdown Coffman (500 free) earns SHS’s first state qualifier BY MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

In a match-up featuring two of the top teams in the 2A classification — and teams sharing the same pool for the 2019 season — Port Angeles topped host Sequim 116-53 in Sept. 19, handing the Wolves (2-1) their first loss of the season. Port Angeles’ Felicia Che and Kenzie Johnson each won two races at Friday’s meet, while Lauren Sundin, Mia Coffman and Sydney Swanson all won races for Sequim. Coffman posted Sequim’s first state 2A meet-qualifying mark of the season with a 5:42 finish in the 500 free.

She also qualified for districts in the 100 yard backstroke with a 1:10 finish, placing second. “Overall the team worked extremely hard, came together and excelled,” Sequim coach Sarah Thorson said. Swanson edged out the Roughriders’ Adriana McClain in the 100 breaststroke by just .35 of a second, maintaining her district qualifying time with a 1:20.43 finish. Swanson also took second place in the 200 yard freestyle (2:27). Sundin won the 50 free with a time of 26.68, edging out Roughrider Mackenzie DuBois by 0.39 of a second.

Wolves soccer splits games in tough week Olympic League standings

BY CONOR DOWLEY Sequim Gazette

The Sequim Wolves girls soccer team shook off a tough loss to Port Angeles by romping to a 4-1 win over Bremerton on Sept. 17, controlling the game efficiently and seeing four different players score goals. Sequim coach Derek Vander Velde praised his team’s play for staying organized and dominating possession, particularly in the first half when the Wolves controlled the ball well and went into halftime up 1-0 on a goal from senior forward Eden Johnson — a long shot off a counter-attack that caught the Bremerton goalkeeper off-guard. The second half saw three Wolves goals, including one from leading scorer Abby Schroeder, who scored her fourth goal of the season.

out with the Wolves’ fourth goal of the night. While seniors dominated the scoresheet, sophomores stood out as well on the night. Rileigh Van Dyken and Hannah Wagner earned assists on goals from Schoeder and Glasser, and performed well in keeping Bremerton’s efforts to get back into the match. Sequim couldn’t keep the momentum going later in the week, however, losing 5-0 to Olympic in Silverdale on Sept. 19. No further details were available.

While rainy weather has disrupted the schedule for Sequim High School’s boys tennis team, head coach Mark Textor’s young squad has made the most of the opportunities they’ve had so far by surging to a 3-1 start to the season with wins over Klahowya, Chimacum and Kingston before their winning streak was cut short by Bremerton. The Wolves tennis team won 5-2 at Klahowya on Sept. 13, including straight sets wins for Nico Zingaro and the doubles teams of Sam Frymyer and Brenton Barnes, as well as Dallin Despain and Jackson VanDewege. Connor Bear came back from a 3-6 loss in his first set to win his match with 7-5 and 6-4 sets, while Silas Thomas and Dominic Riccobene

Clallam septic tank fee delayed County to look for other funding options BY JESSE MAJOR Olympic Peninsula News Group

Board of Health to send letter supporting Healing Campus BY JESSE MAJOR Olympic Peninsula News Group

The Clallam County Board of Health agreed on Sept. 17 to send a letter to the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Council in support of the tribe’s planned Healing Campus on the west side of Sequim. The board unanimously agreed — with Sequim City Council Member Bob Lake abstaining — to send the letter, which says the Board of Health is “committed to supporting evidence-based practices to address the opiate epidemic, and … will continue to support increasing access to treatment until every citizen in our county who is struggling with addiction has the opportunity to get sober.” The Board of Health does not have any actual role in the project and is not making any decisions concerning the facility. The vote was taken after a lengthy public comment period, which involved 10 people — including Save Our Sequim members — who opposed the tribe’s planned medicationassisted treatment center and two people who expressed support. Several people who spoke said they don’t oppose medicationassisted treatment, just the location selected for the regional facility. One claimed addicts will be sent to Sequim on buses while others claimed there will be an increase in crime and that there might be a threat to senior citizens who are using their walkers on the sidewalks. Clallam County Health Officer and Jamestown family physician Dr. Allison Unthank

told the crowd that there are many misconceptions about medication-assisted treatment and that they likely interact with people in recovery every day. She said that Suboxone is used to help people feel normal so that they can participate in other therapies that keep them sober. It also prevents people from overdosing if they relapse. “The data we have is that MAT is by far the most effective option,” Unthank said. “As long as we want to fix the opioid epidemic we have to choose the most effective option.” Unthank also addressed the notion that people who are trying to get sober are dangerous. “They are not,” she said. “There are many, many people in your community who are trying to get sober and they are not a risk to you. In fact you probably don’t know who they are, especially if you are very vocal about not supporting their sobriety. “My patients live and work in Sequim and you know them, you just don’t know that you know them,” Unthank said. “Many of them work at the grocery stores you go to, many of them are all over town and I worry about the message that they are hearing that people think they are a danger to society. They are our family members, they are our friends and they are our neighbors and we owe them our support in getting their lives back on track.” Inga Able of Sequim told the board that overdoses in Clallam County have been decreasing since 2016. The county’s opioid surveillance

report shows that there were 62 reported overdoses in 2016, 31 reported overdoses in 2017 and 30 reported overdoses in 2018, though county officials have said that decrease can likely partially be attributed to the increase of Naloxone in the community and fewer overdoses actually being reported. Able also told the board that her research has shown that in 2018 Clallam County had capacity for 300 patients in medication-assisted treatment, a number that has risen to 713 and will be at about 930 when another clinic opens in Port Angeles. “I don’t see the numbers since 2018 that suggest we have such a high need for treatment,” she said, suggesting a facility like the one proposed should actually be placed in King, Pierce or Snohomish counties. Social worker Amy Miller spoke in support of the Healing Campus, emphasizing that what is proposed is unlike any other treatment facility in Clallam County. “What Jamestown is offering is not just Suboxone,” Miller said. “They are offering wraparound services which our citizens don’t have access to. This is to increase access to evidence-based treatment and removes those barriers so folks can continue in their treatment and move toward success.” Tribal officials have said the medication-assisted treatment facility will be unlike any other on the North Olympic Peninsula, where almost all medication-assisted treatment is provided by primary care providers.

Septic system owners in Clallam County will not pay a proposed $13 per year fee this year after the county Board of Health agreed to table the discussion until next year and to recommend the county use reserves to support the state-mandated on-site septic program. Clallam County Commissioner Mark Ozias made the suggestion during the board’s Sept. 17 meeting, where the public generally expressed support for the fee, with some opposed to it. “I very clearly see the value of this work,” Ozias said. “I think it’s important that we continue to do it and we continue to make progress. It’s really important that we provide some level of stability to the staff that is doing that.” During public comment the board heard from several people with ties to conservation efforts who said the fee was needed to help support a program that will continue to help improve water quality, especially in Dungeness Bay. The board also heard from some who are opposed to the fee, including a woman who told the board that approving the fee was a way to bypass giving the public a chance to vote on the “tax.” Just a day before, on Monday, the Board of County Commissioners directed Environmental Health to hire an additional environmental health specialist to support the on-site septic program, after learning the county had received a $240,000 grant. That grant will fund the position through April 2021, but Ozias said last week he is committed to funding that position at least through the end of 2021. The fee was proposed, in part, to fund 2.5 staff positions. The new environmental health specialist position would bring the program up

to 2.5 positions. Board of Health Member and Sequim City Council Member Bob Lake was the only board member opposed to Ozias’ suggestion of tabling the fee. He suggested that instead of delaying the fee because of the grant, the county should implement the fee to supplement the grant. “I don’t think we’re funding this enough,” Lake said. “I think we want to take advantage of the fact we have grant funding coming in now and fund in addition so we have extra money.” Lake said the county is “no better off than when we started this three meetings ago.” Lake, whose home is connected to sewer, told the board that government is a “zero sum game” and that by suggesting the county use its general fund reserves to support the program, all the board was actually doing was requiring taxpayers who do not own septic systems to pay for those who do. “I do think it’s more fair to … charge people with a septic tank,” Lake said. “I don’t think $13 is an onerous fee.” Clallam County Environmental Health staff are tasked with requiring regular septic inspections, ensuring known septic failures are fixed and maintaining accurate records for all septic systems, but the department has not had sustainable funding to make that happen. The county adopted its on-site septic system management plan in 2007 to

address those requirements, but it has never fully funded implementation. County commissioner Bill Peach said he supports Ozias’ suggestion and that he would like to look at existing funding to support the program without new taxes. Officials had made the distinction in previous meetings that the $13 per year fee was a “fee” and not a “tax,” but the fee would be charged when septic system owners received their property tax bills. “This is an unfunded mandate,” Peach said. “I have not one email that says this is something we should proceed with.” Ozias said that among his greatest concerns was how the decision to delay making a decision would be perceived by staff. “I’m deeply appreciative of the work our environmental health staff does, not just in this arena, but very broadly,” Ozias said. “I’m very sensitive to the history of disruptions in funding and uncertainty that has surrounded this work and other work. I am committed to finding an appropriate funding mechanism.” Dr. Gerald Stephanz said at the conclusion of the meeting that he is a physician and does not know anything about septic tanks, but he knows the board of health has been discussing the issue for 20 years. “I think we are kicking the can down the road,” Stephanz said. “Yes we are,” Ozias responded.

Are we safer today? Safety is one of our most basic human needs and probably closely tied to our survival instinct. At least that’s how I see it. We all have our unique set of safety requirements developed through life experiences that taught us what makes us safe and what makes us feel safe. I’ve often written of having the sort of childhood that resulted in being hyper-vigilant brought on by a combination of childhood threats and events that led me to believe that no one had my back. I created my own safe places and habits. I know now that most of what made me feel safe was an illusion. Still, I find comfort in certain Think of solitude and not in About It ... places others. I intuitively feel safe with some people and not with others. Bertha Cooper Despite maturing over the years, the lessons living in my cells do not forget. My childhood fears about external events were mostly about being bombed in a nuclear attack. I’m certain that I was not the only child who had nightmares filled with the flash and horror of seeing your town disappear in a mushroom cloud. I knew then and I know now that my safety and that of others related to external events like mass attacks on or in our country is out of our control. Our safety is in the hands of our local, state and federal leaders. National, state and local security is essential to our sense of well-being and our safety. Can we say with certainty that our federal government is keeping up with threats to our national security? Are we able to interpret the mixed messages coming from the White House on any one day? Can we trust the information that’s being said, ignored or withheld? I don’t think so.

Political chaos unsafe at any speed The politically motivated chaotic approach to governing our nation’s detection and response to threats has resulted in an inability to recognize threats, lack of strategy, lack of comprehensive action plans and a deterioration of our national security. The priority of national security seems to rise and fall with polls that rise and fall for the president. Our president is a very good marketer and showman in certain circles, but he is a very poor president who spends very little time being the president. Rather than deal with threats, he hides or distorts material that either substantiates the threat or would lead to constructive action. He manages the message to conform with his limited world view and outsized ambition instead of keeping the nation safe. Here are a few examples that concern me and millions of others: Denying and stifling the science that proves the threat and predicts the violent storms and temperatures that result from a heated Earth trying to cool itself and using his power to eliminate environmental regulations and funding. We don’t need to imagine the human and property devastation from violent storms; we see it. Denying that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to the point of stifling and discrediting the nation’s intelligence agencies and using his power to eliminate a national security position related to cybersecurity and reduce funding that would make voting more secure. Withdrawing from nuclear arms treaties and failing to enter into constructive diplomacy to reduce the nuclear arms race and the chance nuclear weapons are developed and used by sinister forces. Note the status of our influence on Russia, North Korea and Iran. Assaulting democracy by disrupting the balance of power written into our Constitution by refusing to release documents and people, including agency heads, to provide information to Congress and willfully using executive power to deny and stifle concluded legislative acts.

Denying the safety of Americans The most confounding governing malfeasance in protecting Americans is the refusal to take measures to

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Proposed facility a ‘good faith effort’ Matthew Nash wrote an excellent piece on the division in Sequim around the healing campus medical facility planned for Sequim (“Businesses take sides on MAT clinic discussion,” Sequim Gazette, Sept. 18, page A-1) The story of George Peterson, the 38-year-old owner of Peninsula Nursery, is an authentic story of a boy who grew up in Sequim, profoundly affected by drug abuse 25 years ago. The child of an addicted mother who committed suicide, he already had drug abuse issues at the age of 13. With the intervention of caring adults and admission to a drug rehabilitation facility, Patterson grew into a compassionate man who managed to acquire and improve upon a business in Sequim. I find it remarkably selfish that anyone would organize a boycott intended to harm him. On the other side of the divide is Karen Willcutt, a 57-year-old real estate agent who moved here two years ago. She spent 22 years of her life addicted to drugs and still fears their power, seemingly on the run in search of a safe haven “Mayberry” that does not exist. She is afraid of declining property values and harm to Sequim’s senior citizens if the clinic opens here. It is not retirees, but the children living in chaos and neglect with addicted adults who need our protection. There are never guarantees of success in healthcare, but the proposed healing campus facility is a good faith effort to meet people where they are and provide the care they need.

PUBLISHER

Time for legislators to walk tenets of political talk Our three 24th District state legislators spent a day last week with a few dozen Sequim and Port Angeles high school students. Topic du jour at said gathering was “leadership” — which unfortunately means any list they’d culled of true political leaders from the past 50 years at our state and national level would fit on a small postage stamp, with space remaining for the Gettysburg Address. “Listening” as an active part of leadership featured largely in their comments to the assembled high schoolers. “The most important thing, I feel, to be a good leader is to listen to the people you lead,” state senator Kevin Van De Wege, DSequim, told them. Remarks like that just warm the cockles of my civic heart. So here’s a proposal: perhaps Van De Wege and his state house counterparts, representatives Mike Chapman (D-Port Angeles) and Steve Tharinger (D- Port Townsend) could demonstrate a practical application of their “leadership” tenets. How about a public forum where they listen to what Sequim residents have to say about a whole host of local concerns? Doubtless the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe’s proposed medicine-assisted treatment (MAT) clinic for opioid addiction will top the list and cause our legislators the most discomfort, politically if not also physiologically. But are we to be denied the potential entertainment value of watching them straddle fences and change horses in midstream, perhaps even with one another? Is that really asking

Civil Discourse Paul Schmidt too much in return for the $7.2 million of our tax dollars they appropriated to fund this controversial venture? I say not. We’re due for a good threering circus act if for nothing else than to alleviate the community’s tensions. I for one am eager to observe firsthand again how polished politicians talk out of both sides of their mouth. Although I have heard the American Dental Association warns against this practice for anyone not in politics. Whether you oppose or support the MAT clinic (and I’m still cautiously supportive), the opacity surrounding this clinic and the manner in which it dropped onto Sequim without so much as a “by your leave” or even a heads-up from our local and state elected officials should trouble every conscious person. This is not how open government should serve citizens. Let me tell you my suspicion: Chapman, Tharinger and Van De Wege really haven’t wanted to be anywhere near any potential political fallout since news of the MAT clinic broke on May 6 this year. Whether it’s a question of when they first knew of the tribe’s plans, or which Jamestown tribal leaders, Sequim city staffers and/or council members they may have had communications with prior to the clinic becoming news, or why they neglected to inform Sequim residents as to what was on the horizon, they’ve been keeping markedly dis-

tant since the legislature adjourned. To be sure, gathering with a group of teenagers at Peninsula Community College isn’t exactly hiding away in the hills. But neither is it facing the metaphorical music in front of potentially several hundred Sequim-area constituents who likely may be more than a bit peeved. We’ll have to wait for next November to decide whether we want to retain the services of Messrs. Chapman, Tharinger or Van De Wege. By then we’ll likely know if the MAT clinic has been green-lighted. Either way, the controversy surrounding the clinic is low-hanging fruit for their political opposition who, while sharing Sequim’s experience with other 24th District voters, can wrap up with their campaign pitches with, “Keep my opponent in office and something like this could happen to your town, too. How does a halfway house for predatory sex offenders grab you, or a regional hospital for the criminally insane? And there won’t be thing you can do about it unless state laws are changed.” Meanwhile, just because it’s part of the gig for which they get paid $48,731 annually plus $120 per diem while in session, our three legislators should actually put all that high-falutin’ political science theory they preached last week into action – in person and soon. Paul Schmidt first moved to Sequim in 1974 and is a graduate of Sequim High School. He currently works in the railroad industry.

Some of those causes This information is fascinating are improper diet, stress, physical and, to the best of my ability, I will and mental health concerns, bad share with you a brief summary on sleep habits and becoming over

stimulated in the evenings. In addition, many medications prevent sleep. This includes both over the counter and prescription drugs. Sleeping pills only give a person 10-15 minutes of additional sleep. Sleep is critical for preventing dementia, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, heart disease and strokes. The lack of sleep has contributed to vertigo attacks, infertility and psychotic disorders.

Sleep states Experts used to think there were four states of sleep. Now they believe there are two states, the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) state and the NREM (None Rapid Eye Movement) state. The NREM state of sleep has three stages. In the most general terms REM sleep regenerates the brain and the NREM sleep regenerates the body. During the REM sleep cycle, where we dream, the brain becomes more active as it processes, organizes and

consolidates memories and information gathered throughout the day. When in NREM sleep the brain slows down as the pituitary gland secretes hormones to help the body to repair and develop. In the NREM sleep stage the cells regenerate themselves, there is more blood supply to the muscles, the tissues and bones can repair themselves and the body strengthens the immune system. The body burns fat in the deep sleep stage, and can help a person lose excess weight. A sleep expert in Europe discovered how to listen to the brain waves and when in the deepest stage of NREM sleep the long slow waves sound similar to ocean waves. As I stated earlier, this is a brief overview of how important and beneficial sleep truly is. There are countless resources and this can be overwhelming. If you desire a better quality of sleep my recommendations are to first talk with your primary care provider. Then go to the library or

check out internet resources. Recently I watched an interview with Matthew Walker, PhD, a professor of neurosciences at the University of California, Berkeley. His book, “Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams,” was most helpful in my research. In next month’s column I will share three things a person can do to fall asleep easier, and to stay asleep longer. In the meantime, please email me at information@ crystallinn.com and share your own tips for a good night’s sleep with all of us. Crystal Linn is a multi-published author and an award winning poet. Since moving to northeast Olympic Peninsula in 2015 she has been actively involved in creating new opportunities for local authors.

protect Americans from homegrown terrorists and crazy people with assault rifles. Since 2017, the Office of Homeland Security has dramatically cut its domestic terrorism budget in the areas of prevention, domestic terrorism analysts and help to local communities. The FBI was to take on more but only 20 percent of the terrorism budget is dedicated to domestic terrorism and hate crimes. Safety for Americans in gathering places doesn’t look like a priority to the current administration despite the support of Americans. Ninety percent of Americans polled want 100 percent background checks on the sale of firearms and over half support a return to the ban on assault rifles and/or ban on high capacity ammunition clips. We don’t have to imagine the nightmares children are having now. We see it. We should be worried, very worried that our degraded democracy no longer puts a high value on protecting the safety of all Americans. The only other explanation is utter incompetence at every level of leadership in the White House, Cabinet and Congress.

From U.S. presidents to Pacific Northwest football coaches, the 24th District’s state representatives gave examples of leadership — both good and bad — in a summit with high school students on Sept. 17. State Sen. Kevin Van De Wege, state Reps. Mike Chapman and Steve Tharinger and Peninsula College President Luke Robins addressed about 40 Port Angeles and Sequim high school class officers at the college’s Longhouse building. The 24th District covers the North Olympic Peninsula and northern Grays Harbor County. “The most important thing, I feel, to be a good leader is to listen to the people you lead,” said Van De Wege, D-Sequim. Van De Wege said President Donald Trump has a different leadership style. “President Trump and a lot of his followers are very devout, but where he fails is he fails to admit that he makes mistakes and he fails to accept criticism,” Van De Wege said, adding that Trump’s leadership has resulted in high turnover in key cabinet positions. “I think he’s a good example of somebody to watch and to be open and honest and say it can be done better, or it can be done in a different way,” Van De Wege said. Tharinger, D-Port Townsend, used former President Lyndon Johnson as an example of effective leadership. “He knew what made each senator tick,” Tharinger said, referring to Johnson’s time as senate majority leader.

“He knew what they needed for their (state), and he also created in a lot of ways the politics of ‘I’ll get you a hospital if I can get your vote for civil rights.’ ” Tharinger said Bill Ruckelshaus, the first director of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency with whom he served on the Washington state Salmon Recovery Funding Board, had an “amazing” ability to build consensus, bring people to the table and listen to their concerns. “When we were building up the salmon recovery for the whole state, his whole effort was ‘We’re not going to be top-down here,’ ” said Tharinger, a former Clallam County commissioner. “ ‘We’re going to listen to you.’ ” The Salmon Recovery Funding Board was structured to allow stakeholders in each watershed to provide on-the-ground knowledge, resulting in greater “buy-in” from its members, Tharinger said. “As leaders, I think that’s impor-

tant to make sure that we build those relationships and listen and care,” Tharinger said. “You may not always agree — you certainly won’t always agree — but having that understanding, having that basic fundamental human contact and understanding I think is really important to build on, and to lead and create solutions for the challenges we face.” Robins used his opening remarks to debunk common myths about leadership, including notions that leaders must be extroverts, know everything, never show weakness and don’t make mistakes. “Sometimes we have in our heads these sort of myths about what a good or a great leader is or is not,” said Robins, who became Peninsula College president in 2012. “So I want to hopefully explode maybe seven of those, or at least get you to think about them a little bit.” After a lunch break, the students

were scheduled to hear a legislative briefing on basic education funding and have a question-and-answer session with the lawmakers. Chapman, D-Port Angeles, said good leaders use social media as a positive. He said Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll, Apple CEO Tim Cook and University of Washington football Coach Chris Petersen each use Twitter effectively. “One thing you will never see from a Pete Carroll tweet is he’ll never call out a player,” Chapman said. “He will never say the right tackle missed that key block. He will never say that the general manager didn’t give him the players that he needed to win that week. “He will never tweet out a negative comment about the city of Seattle, about the fans, about the media, about the ownership group,” Chapman added, raising his cellphone.

Christian Writers Conference set Nov. 2 SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF Writers and aspiring writers are invited and encouraged to attend the third-annual Olympic Peninsula Christian Writers’ Conference Nov. 2. Sponsored by Dungeness Community Church, this year’s conference offers sessions on writing novels, blogs, memoirs, romance and children’s stories. Two sessions also invite writers to submit pages for editing, suggestions and critical recommendations. Other sessions cover book marketing and polishing the writing craft. Conference Keynote Speaker, Melanie Dobson, will speak in two sessions in this year’s Olympic Peninsula Christian Writer’s Conference. The first will focus on “The Power of Story” to inspire authors to write their stories. The second session will delve into “Ten Steps to Create a Compelling Novel.” Dobson is the award-winning author of 20 historical romance, suspense and time-slip novels. Four of her novels — “Chateau of Secrets,” “Catching the Wind”, “The Silent Order” and “Love Finds You in Homestead” — have received Carol Awards. “Catching The Wind” received the Inspirational Fiction Audie Award in 2018, and “The Black Cloister” was named the ForeWord Religious Fiction Book of the Year.

Other presenters include Crystal Linn (memoirs), Mindy Peltier (blogging) and Julie McDonald Zander (selfediting), Sandra Byrd (writing coach for fiction and non-fiction) and Kate Breslin (Christian romance). Linn is a freelance writer, a multipublished author and award-winning poet. Her session will cover all aspects of writing a memoir and how it differs from writing an autobiography. She began tteaching crestive writing classes in 2001. Linn lives on the Olympic Peninsula where she enjoys reading mysteries, writing poetry, hiking and sailing with friends and family. Peltier’s session will focus on the basics of successful blogging and its benefits. A former reporter/photographer, she began blogging when the last of six children was potty-trained. She has since published over 1000 blog posts. In 2013 she was featured on Freshly Pressed on WordPress, a Christian online and traditional publisher. McDonald Zander plans her session to delve into the nuts and bolts of writing, examining word choice, writing style and proofreading. She worked as a newspaper reporter and editor for 20 years before launching her business writing histories for organizations, companies and institutions. She also contracts out for editing services. Byrd will host two small-group ses-

sions analyzing pre-submitted pages of either fiction or nonfiction in a roundtable fashion, whereby writers make editing changes in real time on their electronic devices. Author of more than 50 books, Byrd has won many awards and accolades. She is also in demand as a writing coach. Breslin is an author of several inspirational novels, winning an award for her debut novel, “For Such A Time.” She has also won awards for poetry, and has published travel articles having traveled much of Western Europe. She will lead two sessions. The first will focus on marketing published works, and the second will concentrate on developing a “took kit” for writing romance. The conference will begin with check-in at 8:30 a.m. and conclude by 4:30 p.m. at Dungeness Community Church, located at 45 Eberle Lane. A continental breakfast and light lunch will be provided. Gluten free and sugar free options are available. Online registration costs $75 with an additional $15 for each of Byrd’s coaching sessions. Registration at the door is an additional $10. Full details are available on the conference website, www.opcwc.com, or by calling conference chairperson Sandy Frykholm at 360-461-6897.

Thrive Church brings two congregations forward as one Recent merger combines New Life and Sequim Worship Center BY CONOR DOWLEY

Thrive Church

Sequim Gazette

There’s a new church in Sequim, but with familiar faces in charge. Pastors Dave Westman of the Sequim Worship Center and David Lyke of the New Life church brought their congregations together in an almost year-long process, officially reopening as the Thrive Church for their first full sermon on Sept. 15. The name, Westman says, is a reflection of the reasons to bring the two groups together. “Neither group was really in trouble, neither was going to go away,” Westman says. “But neither was really growing or stepping forward. We saw that both

Location: 640 N. Sequim Ave. Services: Sundays, 10:30 a.m. On the web: www.facebook. com/ThriveSequim groups could, if they come together, could actually thrive together.” According to Lyke and Westman, the older congregation at the Sequim Worship Center and the younger families and individuals from New Life have meshed together very well as a new Assembly of God church. “Both groups were already doing a lot of the same things,” Lyke said. “So when we were talking about how to make our churches better,

it just made sense to bring them together.” “One of the things we saw as the merger was progressing was a growing excitement in both groups for the other; it’s brought an energy into things that wasn’t there before,” Westman said. “Especially with the world getting more and more divisive, being able to bring together two groups and unite like this is a strong symbol,”

Lyke said. According to Lyke, members of the new united congregation has welcomed the new diversity, in terms of age and interests and everything else that goes along with bringing together two groups like this. While the two churches had been meeting together since June 2, their official opening on Sept. 15 brought a much larger crowd than

The ONLY locally-owned funeral home and crematory serving the people of Clallam County. We are the contracting funeral home for Sequim Sunset Cremation and Burial Services.

Gladys “Dinah” Marie Tillotson went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, September 7. She was a devoted wife, mother, and a respected educator in the public school system. Dinah was a faithful member of St. Luke’s Church and contributed to many outreach projects. She also found time to become an exceptional quilter, crossword puzzle enthusiast, wonderful baker, avid reader, world traveler, bridge player, and loving wife to husband Ben Tillotson, for 63 years, until his passing. She is survived by her daughter, Ann Tillotson-Goetz (William); sons, Ben Tillotson (Joyce), John Tillotson (Gwen), and Paul Tillotson (Sam); as well as eight grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her son, Robert Tillotson. The family has asked that in lieu of flowers donations be made to Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County, 540 East 8th St., Port Angeles, WA 98362 (360) 452-1511

they had been seeing. “Over the summer, we had around 90 people most weeks. On Sunday (for the first sermon), we had more than 180,” Lyke said. Both pastors were thrilled with the turnout and reception for their new church, and are very hopeful for the future of Thrive. When it comes to what’s next, they said that much of what Thrive will be doing will be driven by the people in the congregation. “We want this to be people-driven, not pastor or program-driven,” Westman said. “We want people to be doing things that they’re passionate about, not that

they feel like they have to do.” There are plans in place to modernize the former Sequim Worship Center building somewhat in order to better accomodate their new congregation. “It’s a great building, but it’s 40 years old,” Westman said. “There are things we do in worship these days that just weren’t considered back then,” Lyke added. “We want the building to reflect our group, not control it.” Plans are also being formed to put together an “amazing” children’s worship program, including a “Jingle Jam” event this winter.

Park, state move 101 goats in relocation efforts Capture and translocation operations are now complete for 2019, officials with several national parks and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife said in mid-September. In all, 101 mountain goats were removed from Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest to the northern Cascade Mountains. Since September 2018, a total of 275 mountain goats have been translocated. An additional two-week capture and translocation period is planned for summer 2020. The effort is a partnership between the National Park Service, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and the USDA Forest Service to re-establish and assist in connecting depleted populations of mountain goats in the Washington Cascades, while also removing nonnative goats from the Olympic Mountains. Though some mountain goat populations in the North Cascades have recovered since the 1990s, park officials note, the species is absent or rare in several areas of its historic range. Mountain goats were introduced to the Olympics in the 1920s. A total of 22 mountain goats were removed from Olympic National Forest in August; 16 mountain goats were removed from the Mount Ellinor and Mount Washington area and six from The Brothers Wilderness. In addition to the 101 mountain goats released in the North Cascades, seven adult goats died in actions

relating to their capture while four animals that could not be captured safely were “lethally removed,” park officials said. Ten mountain goat kids were transferred as a group to Northwest Trek Wildlife Park for stabilization, acclimation and socialization. One kid will join six other goats in the wildlife park’s 435-acre free-roaming area; the other nine kids will move to new homes at other zoos. A total of 16 mountain goat kids have been given permanent homes in zoos: six in 2018 and ten in 2019. Leading Edge Aviation, a private company which specializes in the capture of wild animals, conducted aerial capture operations through a contract. The helicopter crew used immobilizing darts and net guns to capture mountain goats and transported them in specially made slings to the staging areas located at Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park and the Hamma Hamma area in Olympic National Forest.

“We were very fortunate to have a long stretch of good weather in August which enabled us to safely catch mountain goats throughout the Olympics and make good progress towards reaching our translocation goals,” Dr.

Patti Happe, Wildlife Branch Chief at Olympic National Park, said. Volunteers from the Point No Point Treaty Council, Quileute Tribe, Quinault Indian Nation, Makah Tribe, Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe,

Skokomish Indian Tribe, and Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe also assisted at the staging areas in the Olympic Mountains. “Many thanks to all the volunteers and cooperators, including several biologists

and former National Park Service staff who came out of retirement to assist with the project,” she said. Animals were examined and treated by veterinarians before volunteers working with WDFW transported them to pre-selected staging areas in the North Cascades. The mountain goats were transported in refrigerated trucks to keep them cool. In May 2018, the National Park Service released the final Mountain Goat Management Plan that outlines efforts to remove the estimated 725 mountain goats on the Olympic Peninsula. Both the plan and the associated environmental impact statement were finalized after a public review process that began in 2014.

“I learned more self confidence from speaking on stage,” Wakefield said. In the months leading up to the competitions, she said she’s looking to fundraise more, perform community service and perfect her acrobat routine. Wakefield helped out at the Dungeness Valley Health & Wellness Clinic’s Fun Walk on Sept. 14, plans to volunteer with animals at the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society and call out numbers for Bingo at Sherwood Assisted Living. She recently bought a new leotard and 20-foot mat to perform on, which she and her mom Lula Wakefield will

transport to California for the National All-American Miss competition. Part of her routine involves an aerial — a no-hands cartwheel — which her mom said she “nailed” at the Tacoma pageant. For the competition, Wakefield must raise about $4,500 for entry fees and travel expenses. She’s placed donation jars at Aspire Academy, Sequim Boys & Girls Club, Dungeness Kids Co., Evergreen Collision Center, Fred’s Guns, Oasis Bar and Grill and the Olympic Game Farm. To make a donation, contact Lula Wakefield at Lwake770@hotmail.com. For more information on the National American Miss pageants, visit www.namiss. com.

Camera Club looks to bring photographers of all levels together

Libraries dive into ‘Soul of an Octopus’ SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF Clallam County readers are encouraged to share in a community reading experience this fall with the North Olympic Library System’s Clallam County Reads 2019, with a spotlight on “The Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration into the Wonder of Consciousness,” by award–winning author Sy Montgomery. A number of free, educational events are set between Oct. 1-Nov. 8, all revolving around Montgomery’s book. Clallam County Reads is “a community-wide initiative encouraging participants to engage in a common reading experience,” library representatives say. “It is an inspiring program that boldly celebrates reading, encourages meaningful conversations and fosters a sense of community.” Montgomery’s “The Soul of an Octopus” explores the emotional and physical world of the octopus — A complex, intelligent and spirited creature — and the connections it makes with humans. A naturalist, documentary scriptwriter and author of more than 20 books of nonfiction for adults and children, Montgomery’s other works include New York Times bestsellers “The Good Pig” and “How to be a Good Creature.” She is the recipient of numerous honors, including lifetime achievement awards from the Humane Society and the New England Booksellers Association.

Get involved To participate, stop by any North Olympic Peninsula Library (NOLS) branch and pick up a copy of “The Soul of an Octopus,” available in various formats, along with its accompanying reader’s guide. A limited supply of free paperback copies to read and share (or keep) will be available at all four NOLS library branches beginning Tuesday, Oct 1. Book discussions, art exhibits, live music, special storytimes, and other free events will also be happening in October and November. For a complete schedule, check the

From the novice shutterbug to the professional, the backyard pic-snapper to the world-traveling visual artist, this group welcomes all. The Olympic Peaks Camera Club brings together photographers of all levels to its twice-a-month meetings in Sequim, where beginners and advanced shooters alike glean skills and more from guest speakers and each other. “If you’re a beginner or intermediate or advanced … you learn from other photographers.,” says club president Rebecca Hanson. “There are a range of people in the club — those who don’t know what ISO is (and) other who could write the book,” says club member Ken Kennedy. “Everybody’s willing to share … no trade secrets,” he adds. “Being with general enthusiasts, you learn a lot,” Hanson says. For most of the year the club meets monthly on second and fourth Thursdays — November and December are exceptions, when they meet just the second Thursday — at Dungeness Community Church, 45 Eberle Lane. With about 80 members in the group, each meeting sees about 30 to 60 members and guests show up, Hanson says, as many members are out on photo trips. She says the key benefits of joining the group are sharing in vast and varying knowledge of members as they discuss everything from equipment

How to select, plant roses at ‘Work to Learn’ SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF The Sequim Botanical Garden Society invites the community to its “Work to Learn” party presentation on “Selecting Rose Plants” with Donni Hatlestad, set for 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28, at the Terrace Garden at Carrie Blake Community Park. Hatlestad, a former Master Gardener and software development manager, is an officer with the society and a volunteer gardener. She will will give advice on roses for the Sequim climate, and what to look for when select-

ing roses for purchase, planting and growing. She has developed a 5-acre garden on her Agnew property, and previously developed and maintained an acre garden in Redmond. Participants are encouraged to learn how to contribute to the future Sequim Botanical Garden Society Rose Garden construction. After the presentation, they are encouraged to work alongside the garden society members maintaining the garden. Those who don’t have time to help in the process

are welcome to come to the garden to observe the activity and see the Terrace Garden in bloom. To get to the Terrace Garden, look for yellow signs and find the parking near the water reclamation site on North Blake Avenue, just north of the park near the James Center Band Shell, 350 N. Blake Ave. The “Work to Learn” Parties are an opportunity for novice and seasoned gardeners to volunteer together. The Sequim Botanical Garden Society is a volun-

teer partner with the City of Sequim and a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that provides educational information and a visual demonstration of what can be done in home gardening with research-based horticultural practices.

Randy Washburne will demonstrate digital painting, including why do it and how it’s done with a focus on painting on the iPad with the ArtRage application. “I’ve been drawing and painting since childhood, with art classes throughout high school and college, continuing watercolors intermittently in later life,” Washburne said. “After discovering digital painting on the iPad about five years ago, I’ve finished more paintings than in all the previous years – about 200 ‘keepers.’ “I choose digital painting because it pleases me and widens the horizons of what’s possible. Rather than showing or selling paintings, I’m more interested in painting with other artists of any medium to share creative energy, and am always happy to mentor anyone who wants to try digital painting.” See sequimarts.org for more information.

Meeples bring social gaming to Sequim Local gaming group looks to share passion, build community at library BY CONOR DOWLEY Sequim Gazette

One form of entertainment that has seen a surge in popularity in the last decade has been board games. Locally, Meeples of Sequim is a group working to share the experience with the community. A little more than two years ago, Travis Britten and Echo Cox were relative newcomers to Sequim when they decided to form Meeples. They’d run a similar group when they lived in Ellensburg and wanted to help build that same kind of community in their new home. “Games like this are an important thing to us, but board games are also about the shared experience,” Britten said. “We wanted to help create that experience where we could.” Originally the group met at Gateway Games & Hobby on East Washington Street, but when the store closed a few months later the Meeples needed a new home. “Chris (Franics, owner of Gateway) was so generous in opening his doors to us and supporting us,” Britten said, “but we were starting to look at outgrowing the space he had available for us and moving on anyways.” The Sequim Librar y quickly presented itself as a good option. “This meeting room is openly available most of the time,” Britten said, “and it’s a really good space for what we do.” After talking to library

representatives, the relationship between the library and Meeples quickly formed and blossomed. “They like seeing this space used so positively, and we do what we can to tie into library events,” Britten said. As an example, during the library’s world travelthemed summer reading program Britten and Cox recently spent time playing and teaching “Ticket To Ride,” a game about traveling around the country on railways inspired by the bet from “Around The World In Eighty Days.” Cox estimated that Meeples draws about 19 people to the library for most of their Wednesday night gatherings, and occasionally gets Travis Britten, second from left, demonstrates how to play the board game “Robinson Crusoe” to several Meeples of Sequim into the low 20s. regulars who hadn’t yet played it. Britten says that he regularly brings new games to teach as that kind of experience is a Most of the games brought big part of gaming for him.

‘From the Forest’

From page B-1 one general submission and another based on the club’s subject theme, such as “reflection,” to further challenge competitors. Olympic Peaks also works with the Northwest Council of Camera Clubs and Photographic Society of America, and helps judge competitions for other clubs. In competitions and regular meetings club members will offer helpful critiques, Hanson says, asking “Why did you want to get out of this picture?” And, “Did you achieve it?” “It’s nice to win (but) it’s also nice to learn,” Hanson says. She adds that club members don’t have to compete. For more than half-dozen consecutive years an Olympic Peaks club member has served as superintendent of the Clallam County Fair’s photography competition. This year that competition added a division for photographers with disabilities. “We love doing it for the

Weed control without chemicals Weeds are just plants growing in the wrong place. They are not inherently evil, but they multiply rapidly and compete with desirable plants for water and nutrients. They can crowd out seedlings and ha rbor in sect s and diseases that spread to other As a result, Get It plants. serious gardeners Growing pay attention to weed control. by Jeanette There are many Stehr-Green approaches to weed control including the use of selective and broad-spectrum herbicides. Although there is a time and place for use of these chemicals, non-chemical methods can hold weeds in check while protecting the environment. Here are just a few ideas. Avoid bringing weeds into your garden. Buy weed-free seed and mulch; remove any weeds that arrive with newly purchased plants. Do not put weeds in your compost pile. Home composting temperatures often are not high enough to kill weeds or their seeds.

Gain control Minimize open spaces in your garden with one of the following: • Take steps to increase the vigor of desirable plants so that they grow well and fill up the available space. Select plants that are suited for the climate and the site and care for them properly. Space plants at the minimum recommended distances to shade and

further crowd out weeds. • Apply organic and inorganic mulches. Organic mulches such as sawdust, bark, straw and pine needles when applied in a layer 2-5 inches deep will inhibit the emergence of weeds. Inorganic mulches such as black plastic and newspaper inhibit weed growth by blocking sunlight and preventing photosynthesis. • For annual vegetable or flower beds that lie fallow during the fall and winter, consider sowing a cover crop. But don’t let the cover crop go to seed in the spring because the cover crop itself can become a weed. Deprive weeds of what they need to grow. Directed watering (that is irrigating your garden in such a way that only the desirable plants receive water) and careful placement of fertilizers close to desirable plants inhibit the germination and growth of weeds.

Study your gardening enemy If weeds appear, take quick action. The first step is to identify the weed and how it spreads. Annual weeds germinate, flower, set seed, and die within a single year. Little bittercress, chickweed and lambquarters are examples of annual weeds. All annual weeds spread only by seed. Therefore, the best non-chemical method for controlling annual weeds is to prevent their flowers from going to seed by pulling or cutting the weed at ground level before it flowers. In a pinch you can prevent future generations just by removing

the flowers themselves. (But with the latter approach, the weed might continue to produce flowers and will still compete with your desirable plants for water and nutrients.) Perennial weeds are plants which live for many years, and do not die after flowering. All perennials have underground parts that store food over the winter and allow them to reemerge in the spring. Scotch broom, Canada thistle and bindweed are examples of perennials. Perennials spread by seed and underground parts of the plant (such as roots, tubers and rhizomes). Preventing their flowers from going to seed and removal of underground parts will theoretically control perennial weeds. Complete removal of roots, tubers and rhizomes, however, is extremely difficult and weeds often spring from the bits and pieces left behind. A better approach is repeated mowing of the above ground portions of the weed which will deplete the weed’s food reserves. When undertaken while the weed is actively storing sugars in the roots and repeated for several seasons in a row, this approach can successfully weaken even the most stubborn perennials weeds. Weeds spread quickly. Prevent them from ever appearing in your garden and take quick action when they do. Through a combination of prevention and control measures and a little persistence, you will prevail. Jeanette Stehr-Green is a WSUcertified Clallam County Master Gardener.

The next school board meeting is 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 7, in the district boardroom, 503 N. Sequim Ave. The public is invited to attend and time is set aside for public comment. To view the agenda and minutes of past meetings, click on “School Board,” “Regular Communication” and “Agendas” on the district’s website at www.sequimschools.org. In response to the growing threat of AIDS, the Washington state Legislature mandated that a program of prevention education be presented to students yearly beginning with the fifth grade and continuing through 12th grade. The Sequim School District No. 323 has adopted an appropriate program for HIV prevention education with the advice of educators, parents and community members. Two meetings will be held for parents/legal guardians to preview the District’s HIV prevention education program and videos that your student might see. The first showing is on Tuesday, Oct. 1, starting at 5 p.m. in the Helen Haller Elementary School library, 350 W Fir St. The second will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 8, starting at 5 p.m. in the Greywolf Elementary School library, 171 Carlsborg Road. The grades will be presented as follows: • Fifth grade: 5-5:30 p.m. • Sixth grade: 5:30-6 p.m. • Seventh, eighth grade: 6-7 p.m. • Grades 9-12: 5-7 p.m.

Note: Curriculum and videos are available for preview in libraries Parents/guardians will be asked to sign in. Following a preview of the materials, parents/guardians 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.

GREYWOLF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Last week kindergarten students at Greywolf Elementary had their second writer’s workshop day with their specialist Bethany Robbins. Students started their time together with a mini lesson on the difference between a word and a sentence. Children drew a picture of their family and began labeling their picture with the focus being on finding and labeling themselves. When specialist time came to an end the result was some pretty adorable kindergarten family portraits with a sentence to describe them. Well done, Greywolf kindergartners!

Don’t want a hitter, biter or bully 4. Point out when things are going well Tell her how great it was when she took turns shared her toys, or asked for help. Pay close attention so you can talk about her better behavior. We all like to hear what we do right. Parents need to pay special attention to the importance of recognizing correct behavior rather than to only pay attention to poor behavior. 5. Tell her when she is doing wrong Tell her to “Stop hitting,” and give her a different way to act. Talk with her about leaving the group when she feels like hitting someone. Tell her that hitting hurts!. If she continues to hit others, remove her and tell her why you are doing it. 6. Forget it when it is over Let it go. It will not help to go over it again and again. A parent has an important role to play in teaching a child how to play properly. Take the time to solve the problems that arise. You will spend far less time in the long-run. Remember, this is part of being a parent. It is one more skill you need to develop.

Dr. Brooksby, I have heard that you are an Advanced Surgical Prosthodontist. What training have you had and how are you different from a regular dentist?

LET’S START BY DEFINING WHAT A PROSTHODONTIST IS.

A Prosthodontist is a dentist with advanced training, approved by the American Dental Association, in solving difficult dental problems. The training requires a two to three year residency after dental school. It is often associated with a hospital and a dental school. We spend the time in lectures on all areas of dentistry. There is usually a focus on treating the older, often medically compromised dental patient. We are taught to do thorough examinations of the head, neck and shoulder muscles. We learn about the medications that are regularly prescribed for patients and how they affect oral health. We work with the oncologists treating cancer patients, and in my residency, we also trained with the very complex treatment of patients with head, neck and shoulder pain in addition to TMJ problems. In addition to the learning environment, we operated under the premise that you learn more as you teach. We regularly worked as instructors with General Practice residents, as well as teaching dental students. As I have practiced over the last 33 years, I have continued to teach dentists how to provide more complex treatment to their own patients. When asked why I teach others to do things instead of insisting that they send all of the patients to me for treatment, I answer that our goal is to improve the quality of treatment provided by all of us. As we teach these concepts, we often gain a greater understanding of the things that we can do to provide even better care for our patients. There are three types of prosthodontists: the restorative prosthodontist, the surgical prosthodontist and the advanced surgical prosthodontist. The Restorative Prosthodontist generally solves difficult dental problems utilizing crowns, bridges and implant-supported restorations. The Surgical Prosthodontist does the same things that a Restorative Prosthodontist does, but he also surgically places dental implants. An Advanced Surgical Prosthodontist is also trained to do bone grafting, sinus augmentation, placement of dental implants and many of the more advanced surgical procedures required to prepare a patient for their new teeth. He is like a dental engineer, with precision-based techniques for greater comfort and success. Dr. Brooksby began in General Dentistry in 1982. He then completed his Prosthodontic training from the San Francisco Veterans Hospital in conjunction with the UCSF School of Dentistry Prosthodontic program. Dr. Brooksby received his advanced surgical training in the Advanced Implant Study Group at Loma Linda Dental School, and is currently a Diplomate of the International Congress of Oral Implantology. He has been practicing as a prosthodontist since 1990 and an advanced surgical prosthodontist since 1996. He has placed several thousand dental implants, performed over 300 sinus augmentations and hundreds of bone grafts in preparation for placement of dental implants and restoration of the mouth to normal function.

Dr. Brooksby’s office is in the Sequim Safeway Shopping Center right next to Subway. When you call, you will talk directly to Dr Brooksby.

Washington state’s economy gained 2,300 jobs in August and the state’s seasonally adjusted monthly unemployment rate for August was unchanged at 4.6 percent, according to the Employment Security Department. “The slower hiring in August tended to be broad based with more industries shedding jobs than adding them,” Paul Turek, economist for the department, said. “Coupled with the downward revision to July’s payroll numbers, today’s report shows weaker hiring since the start of the year.” The Employment Security Department released the preliminary job estimates from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics as part of its Monthly Employment Report. The department also announced that July’s previously reported unemployment rate of 4.6 was confirmed. July’s preliminary estimated gain of 13,400 jobs was revised to a gain of 5,900 jobs. The national unemployment rate also remained unchanged at 3.7 percent in August 2019. In August 2018, the national unemployment rate was 3.8 percent. Employment Security paid unemployment insurance benefits to 46,149 people in August.

Labor force adds more participants The state’s labor force in August was 3,895,600 – an increase of 10,900 people from the previous month. In the Seattle/Bellevue/Everett region, the labor force increased by 4,400 over the same period. From August 2018 through

August 2019, the state’s labor force grew by 93,200 and the Seattle/Bellevue/Everett region increased by 33,800. Private sector employment increased by 2,800 while the public sector decreased 500 jobs in August.

PACO is an adorable and feisty 8-year-old Chihuahua (Deerhead). This boy is classic Chihuahua in that he has a lot of bark and can be a bit fearful, but once he knows you he is a real lover. He takes it to heart that his job is to protect and guard all territory and you. He is faithful and full of character and will frequently make you laugh. He is also very handsome. Paco needs to be the head of the household, he enjoys other dogs, but would not mind being the only dog. He loves kids, but for safety should not be with children under 10-years.

WILLOW is an almost 2-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever mix. Willow seems to love everybody. She is very sweet and very interactive. Willow is very ball focused and loves to fetch and loves toys. She can be possessive, so you need to know how to ask her to “leave it” and to release the ball. Willow does well with some male dogs, but we would need to do a “meet and greet” to confirm a match. Willow will need a family that is active and loves to take long walks. She is good on leash and knows her basic commands. Please no children under ten years-old.
