Irrigation Festival Kick-Off dinner to unveil new royalty ride

by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

From berries to flowers to lavender to water to the wondrous mountains, the new Irrigation Festival float holds a little piece of everything Sequim.

Float designer Guy Horton said he hopes to draw oohs and aahs with his float, his eighth overall.

The float is set for unveiling at 4:45 p.m. Saturday, March 24, in front of 7 Cedars Casino, 270756 U.S. Highway 101.

Design for the float came to Horton over a meal when he designed it on a dinner napkin. He started construction around Christmas time.

“It’s definitely different from anything we’ve done before,” he said.

SEQUIM ROBOT IS READY TO RUMBLE

What: 117th Irrigation Festival’s Kick-Off Dinner When: Fundraiser begins at 5 p.m. after float unveiling Where: 7 Cedars Casino How: Tickets are $65 at the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce, KeyBank, Sound Community Bank and Pacific Mist Books Running with the festival’s theme “117 and Still Growin’ Green” and “Water is Wealth“ tagline, Horton installed a functioning irrigation ditch through the center of the float. A 65-gallon tank holds water that is cycled through continuously. A rotating irrigation gate stands at the bottom.

The backdrop is a Ross Hamilton mural of Sequim’s view of the Olympic Mountains measuring 14 feet wide by 11 feet high. On the sides, scale-sized hay bales, ferns and

Proposed rule to be published April 18

Students take up second FIRST challenge

by MARK ST.J. COUHIG Sequim Gazette

A dozen members of the Sequim High School Robotics Club are still hard at work putting the finishing touches on their entry in this year’s FIRST Robotics Competition, which will be held March 22-24 in Seattle.

This is the second year the club has participated and they have stepped up their game.

Club member Ella Rickerson said, “Last year our robot was basically six wheels and a motor.”

The rules were different then, she said. “Last year you could be defensive. We just tried to do a couple things well. This year you can’t do that.”

See ROBOT, page A-6

Brad Moore, robotics instructor at Sequim High, works with four of the team members to put the finishing touches on this year’s robot, which will pick up and shoot basketballs. In accordance with FIRST Competition rules, the main body of the robot, which measures approximately 3 feet by 3 feet, already has been “tagged and bagged” — it’s untouchable until the competition begins on March 22. The students, from left, are Ella Rickerson, Landon LeBlanc, Jason Galasso and Zachary McLaughlin.

The Washington Department of Ecology has spent the past few months answering questions and gathering comments regarding its soon-to-be-proposed Dungeness Water Management Rule, but critics say too many important questions remain unanswered.

One important question has been answered: Despite requests, including a formal letter from Clallam County Development Director Sheila Miller, the department won’t pause in its efforts.

Ecology officials say they intend to publish the proposed rule on April 18.

That will start the clock ticking on the process, which must then be completed within 180 days.

Among its more important provisions, the new rule would establish “optimal” flow levels for the Dungeness River, its tributaries and eight independent streams feeding directly into the Strait of

Seven peninsula environmental organizations have jointly filed suit in Thurston County Superior Court to stop the progress of the wood-burning co-generation plant now being built at the Nippon Paper Industries’ paper mill in Port Angeles.

In the suit they say the air permit issued by the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency fails to require Best Available Control

“It was fantastic,” said Jan Chapman, event co-chairman.

“Vendors were very pleased.”

The Soroptimist International of Sequim Club has 48 members and the event helps pay for programs like the Girl of the Month, awards and scholarships, and the Women in Networks program.

Physicians fund sponsors scholarships, grants The Clallam County Physicians Community Benefit Fund invites applications for academic scholarships in medically related fields and medically related community grants. The grants are for 2013.

Scholarships go to graduates of a Clallam County high school who have

The community grants encourage one-time medically related projects that benefit a broad cross-section of the community.

Applications for both are available by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to The Clallam County Physicians Community Benefit Fund, PO Box 3005, Port Angeles, WA 98362.

Completed applications are due Friday, June 1.

GO GREEN AND CASH IN BY RECYCLING YOUR OLD CAR As

Kermit says, “It Ain’t Easy Being Green!” Most people try hard to do the right thing when it comes to being green – bringing reusable cloth bags to the grocery store, hauling recyclables to the curb each week, changing out light bulbs and reducing waste, to name a few. In 2012 being green is cool and ignoring the environment is not a popular way to live, but one man is setting the bar on being green.

Local Car Dealer For The People, Mark Ostroot from Price Superstore, is taking the green thing to a whole new level in 2012. “Everybody’s talking about going green so I’ve decided to go green my way. I’m making green a heck of a lot more fun by lining my customers’ pockets with everyone’s favorite green – cold hard cash.

During my Go Green Go Campaign, I’m offering my customers up to

A 22-year-old Sequim man is accused of burglarizing five Port Angeles businesses in broad daylight since November.

Nicholas J. Mallonee faces five counts of seconddegree burglary and one count of organized retail theft in the second degree.

Port Angeles police officers said the case started on Nov. 15, 2011, when a man entered the Black Diamond Bridal store, demanded the clerk go get the owner from the basement, then took money from the cash register.

On Jan. 10, police investigated a burglary at the Okason Japanese Restaurant where a suspect asked the clerk to get him a drink then reached over the counter and grabbed a cash box before fleeing, officers said.

Another burglary reported Feb. 19 at the Barhop Taproom involved a suspect who took money from the

cash register while the clerk was in the bathroom, according to court documents.

Tiny Bubbles Pet Store reported a burglary March 10 after a man allegedly told the clerk he was there to pick up pet food then stole money from two cash registers while the clerk left to look for the pet food, police said.

On March 13, Jiffy Cleaners reported a man watched the clerk until his back was turned then stole money out of the cash register along with checks and credit card receipts, police said.

Altogether, it is believed the suspect took a total of $1,250 from the businesses.

Police located Mallonee, who matched the descriptions of the suspect, a few hours later near Webster Park in Port Angeles. He was taken into custody at the Clallam County jail and was released on his own recognizance March 14.

In court March 16 he pleaded not guilty to all charges and a trial date was set for May 21.

Individuals with bad credit can look forward to sensational news at Price Superstore,” says Ostroot.

Ostroot says, “During the Go Green Go Campaign, not only am I offering up to $4,477.00 for any trade, I’m also giving people with bad credit a chance to get back on track by overlooking bad credit scores. Every customer will be handled with dignity and each credit application will be worked for maximum approval regardless of past credit history.

And if you do choose to buy a nicer, newer vehicle this month, your past credit problems will stay in the past and we'll help you make a fresh start for the future. I won’t let past mistakes stand in the way of you getting the nicer, newer car you deserve. I also believe everyone deserves a second chance to go along with that new car!”

“With my For The People® Credit Approval Process we’ll match you with the lender most likely to approve you today. Like any effective campaign leader, we know how to spin a deal! Let our spin machine match you with the lender most likely to understand your unique situation. Our spin doctors are better than the politicians when it comes to making miracles happen (well, almost),” Ostroot explained.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? When pressed about why he is throwing out such an amazing offer, paying up to $4,477.00 more for old cars, Ostroot responded, “My Go Green Go Campaign is a chance for me to give back and a chance for everyday people to get ahead and make their financial goals come true in 2012. I get a stocked lot and keep my business strong. Customers get much-needed cash and the opportunity to drive a nicer, newer car today. It’s a win-win situation for everyone!”

The silver lining behind this campaign is that even the environment gets a boost – between the savings in gas and the improved emission situation, the Go Green Go Campaign helps the planet and the people living on it.

That’s something everyone can get behind!

Water From page A-1

A key element of the Irrigation Festival royalty’s float is a moving floodgate and water streaming down the center in an irrigation ditch.

Float From page A-1 trees mesh with the display for a 3-D look.

Festival royalty see the float for the first time at the event. They’ll be in their gowns for the first time then, too.

Queen Abigail Berry will wear blue, representing water, and sit on a bench above the irrigation ditch. Princess Amanda Dronenburg wears purple to represent lavender.

Princess Arianna Flores is set to wear green and gold symbolizing U-pick flowers.

Princess Natalie Stevenson’s red dress represents Sequim’s U-pick berries.

Part of the Irrigation Festival royalty’s float blends nicely together using scale-sized hay bales with a 14-foot by 11-foot Ross Hamilton mural of the Olympic Mountains.

“Where water is wealth,” the catch phrase for the Sequim Irrigation Festival, comes to fruition with the float unveiling on March 24 at 7 Cedars Casino. The float includes a functioning irrigation ditch and moving floodgate.

Sequim Gazette photos by Matthew Nash

The three princesses will stand on the sides and in front of the float.

Horton said he upgraded the float to include more design options in the years

to come.

The float also features new directional subwoofers and speakers.

“The sound system is going to rock,” he said.

Horton worked with a small crew up to the unveiling, including his wife, Lynn — the royalty mom — Guy Eldridge, Brad Lato, Brant Parks and Dan Rigg.

The 117th Irrigation Festi-

val’s Kick-Off Dinner, a fundraiser for the festival, begins at 5 p.m. after the float unveiling. Tickets still are available for $65 at the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce, KeyBank, Sound Community Bank and Pacific Mist Books.

City drafts goals for the year out New and remodel projects take top priorities

by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

City councilors drafted five goals and priorities for 2012-2013 at their March 9 retreat: • Evaluate feasibility of Guy Cole rehabilitation • Improve street maintenance • Adopt updated Comprehensive Plan • Develop financial and implementation plan for police station and City Hall • Develop economic development plan.

These priorities go to council for final approval at 6 p.m. March 26 at the Sequim Transit Center, 190 W. Cedar St. During the retreat, councilors gave the go-ahead for Mayor Ken Hays and Pat Johansen to work with city staff on their plan to remodel the Guy Cole Center and make it a center for food-related activities and HAYS special events in the city.

City Manager Steve Burkett said over the next year they plan to use their recent study on the city’s pavement to implement a BURKETT priority list using a management system.

Burkett plans to show a proposed list of projects to councilors in late April.

The Comprehensive Plan is scheduled for approval at the end of 2012 by councilors.

Its intent is to help create a vision for Sequim and development in the city.

One potential development option, a new police station, goes to voters in the Aug. 7 primary. If approved,

a criminal justice sales tax worth one-tenth of 1 percent would fund most of the police building.

Burkett said if voters approve the tax, city staff would put together a financing plan to pay for a new city hall.

Council’s economic plan includes elements of funding tourism outreach, annexing the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, aka Battelle, utility extension and creating a light industrial zone within the city.

Burkett said support for tourism is ongoing and includes festivals.

City and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory officials continue ongoing discussions about the an-

nexation, Burkett said.

At this time, the city doesn’t have any industrial zones.

“There is a need for it,” Burkett said. “The Comprehensive Plan includes this goal, too.”

Councilors completed some of their 2011-2012 goals: purchasing a city hall site from Serenity House of Clallam County, adopting the downtown plan, and conducting a citizens’ satisfaction survey and parks and recreation needs assessment.

One goal, to establish Sequim as a leader in renewable energy, was deferred for inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan update.

A contract worth up to $100,000 was approved in February for a Transportation Master Plan update with Fehr & Peers of Seattle. It also is set for inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan.

Burkett said city staff continues work to improve the building and land-use permitting process, and to determine the function of Sequim Speaks.

Ann Wessel, instream flow rules coordinator with Ecology, said in addition to the dozens of comments gathered at public meetings, the department also has received 30 to 50 e-mails and letters regarding the proposal.

The Clallam County commissioners provided Ecology with a dozen questions of their own and discussed Ecology’s answers in a lengthy public meeting in early March.

The Local Leaders Water Group (LLWG), a consortium of local organizations convened to study the proposal, recently released their formal findings, a 5,000-plus word document containing their collective and individual comments.

Meter readers Among the concerns expressed by the LLWG is the proposal’s language requiring that all new water uses must be metered. The report notes that Clallam County “has declined to accept the responsibility for implementing this provision,” leaving Ecology with full responsibility for enforcement.

The report says, “Some participants in the LLWG process are concerned that the implied logistics, data management, data analysis and enforcement in carrying this out may not be practical or realistic — especially in the current economy.”

The matter is made more complicated because Paul Haines, Public Works director for the City of Sequim and a member of the LLWG, repeatedly noted that the city believes that in order to properly manage the area’s water resources, all wells, new and existing, should be metered.

‘New uses’ ill-defined Many commentaries on the rule have stated that existing home and well owners won’t be affected by the rule. Critics say that isn’t the case, pointing out that the rule applies to all “new uses” that occur after the rule’s implementation and further noting that “new use” hasn’t been fully defined.

Water From page A-4 The LLWG report addresses the issue, specifically expressing concern regarding the rule’s impact on those who own an existing well that is unused. The rule, they say, “disadvantages residents who started their transition to move here (by having a well drilled prior to building a house) long before the rule is in effect.

Their original investment in a well is diminished when new conditions are imposed on its use. …”

The LLWG report includes a recommendation that the required mitigation fee should be waived for indoor water use for owners of these wells or as an alternative that another funding source could be found to pay for the mitigation.

The question of “new use” also extends to those who currently own a home and use their well but change their use patterns. Ecology officials recently said the “new use” provisions wouldn’t be triggered unless a new permit is applied for by the homeowner, but critics note that the language of the rule doesn’t include that provision.

New water uses, some say, would include planting a lawn or planting fruit trees.

In a recent e-mail exchange with Sequim Realtor Margaret Glover, Wessel indicated those uses likely would trigger the “new use” provisions.

“If more than five years has passed without any change in the amount or type

Underlying study under scrutiny The LLWG report also reiterates concerns expressed previously about the study that produced the data on which the new rule is based.

Tom Martin, an engineer who works for the Clallam County PUD and who serves on the LLWG, found errors in the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM) study, which was conducted in the early 1990s.

In their new report, the LLWG members, with the exception of the Ecology representatives and Jamestown S’Klallam tribal representative Scott Chitwood, ask that “an independent party answer, as soon as possible, these immediate questions: (1) Are the problems identified in Mr. Martin’s hydraulic analysis of one transect in the 1991 report similarly found for additional transects and sites, and (2) what effect do the alleged errors have on recommended instream flow levels?”

The report concludes that the inquiry should determine whether the original “IFIM study contains fatal flaws. ...”

of water use at the residence you described, then the existing use is considered a perfected water right under the groundwater permit exemption and a new irrigation use would be subject to the rule. In that case the rule calls for mitigation and a meter for the new water use.”

Board of Trustees voted Tuesday to choose Robins as Dr. Thomas Keegan’s successor.

Dr. Brinton Sprague will serve as interim president until this summer when Robins takes over.

LeMay Mobile Shredding brought a truck that shredded 11,520 pounds of personal documents for about 250 people. So many documents were shredded that the sides of the truck bulged out. The documents eventually will be recycled. Some people brought records from as far back as 20 years ago. Phil Castell, agency owner, said he plans to offer the event annually for free and his business uses the service monthly. “We take privacy and people’s information very seriously and believe in protecting people from identity theft,” he said.

Broadband From page A-1 Internet access will allow people to receive and transmit information much faster than they can now.

Port Angeles Police Chief Terry Gallagher said the broadband Internet will allow police officers to view live video footage on their laptops while communicating with other officers and running checks on people through the dispatch center.

“High-speed broadband is the most exciting thing to happen to law enforcement here in my career,” he said.

Public safety in Clallam County will take a giant step forward because of the broadband access, he said.

Purser said the project was noteworthy because it will benefit everyone.

While the PUD doesn’t have the authority to provide residential customers with Internet services, it will pro-

vide the broadband access to Internet providers, hospitals and government agencies, he said.

Hospitals will be able to consult medical experts through the Internet, bringing “the best expertise to Clallam County,” he said, calling the project a “movement in the right direction.”

Bennink said local Internet providers who will have access to the broadband include Century Link, CPI, OlyPen, Olympus Net, CressComm, Olympic Wi-Fi, Nicola Engineering and Computer Solutions.

The Sequim team “built its bot to take up less space on that platform in order to accommodate others,” Marcy said.

Robot From page A-1 Teams are matched with two other teams to go up against three other robots in what is called a “coopertition.” This year’s match, called the “Rebound Rumble,” will play out on a 27-foot by 54-foot court at the Exhibition Center at CenturyLink Field.

Club members tore apart last year’s robot to collect the salvageable parts, then added the new bits and pieces that will allow them to compete in this year’s match. Among the requirements: The robot must pick up and shoot a small basketball into one of four goals, which range up to 8 feet high, with shots in the highest hoop earning the most points. But before it can take a shot, the “bot” has to either climb over a short wall or lower a bridge and cross it to get in range.

Club member Zachary McLaughlin pointed out that under the competition’s rules, the Sequim robot could be met by as many as three defensive

“Charged with protecting human health, ORCAA should have known that Nippon’s proposed controls for nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide, (CO), and volatile organic compounds, (VOCs) were not the best available, which are required by the Clean Air Act,” the appellants said in a statement announcing the suit.

This week Harold Norlund, manager of the Nippon plant, responded, saying his company met every condition imposed by ORCAA and that construction of the project is moving ahead.

“It’s a busy worksite,” he said.

Nippon officials have said the company will spend $71 million expanding its boiler operations. When the project is completed, the plant will generate steam to power the facility’s operations and produce up to 20 megawatts of saleable electrical energy.

While noting there are many factors to consider, Milt Fyre, president of Resource Management Associates, Inc., said that should power between 4,000 and 8,000 houses. RMA is an Oregon firm that specializes in providing engineering services to electric utilities and forest industries.

In the public’s interest “Filing suit is our only option when the public agencies charged with protecting our health don’t act in the greater public’s best interest,” said Crystal Tack, a Sequim-based health care practitioner.

More than enough biomass Peninsula loggers and those hoping to see the construction of more biomass-to-energy plants are cheering the results of a recently completed study declaring that in Washington “market use of biomass could more than double without any impacts on forest sustainability.”

The study, conducted by the Washington Department of Natural Resources, further declares, “Removing biomass from forests in ecologically sustainable ways can provide income for forest landowners while improving forest health, creating rural jobs, and reducing wildfire risk.”

DNR cranked up the forest biomass supply study in November 2010 in an effort to determine the total volume of forest biomass produced by logging operations in the state.

The study found that much of the available supply wasn’t used due to a “lack of biomass facilities.” Because supply outstrips demand, doubling the annual output, from the current 0.6 million bone dry tons (BDT) to 1.2 million, would only result in “a small increase in price of about $10 per BDT.” The report also says that “pre-existing biomass,” defined as biomass not produced by timber harvest operations, “is important for wildlife habitat, slope stability and forest regeneration. It is typically unsuitable as processed biomass for energy production.”

The study says this biomass will remain after the harvest.

The “Washington Forest Biomass Supply Assessment” was funded with a $1 million grant from U.S. Forest Service. DNR said the study is part of a larger effort “to improve the economic feasibility of protecting forests from wildfire and restoring forest health.”

They say Nippon has failed to do so.

Nippon and ORCAA officials beg to differ.

Norlund said his company met every requirement of the law. “Look at ORCAA’s website. You’ll see the final permit where they’ve stipulated that what was required for the permit was met.”

Mark Goodin, an engineer with ORCAA, agreed that Nippon met the requirements of the law. “Nippon is using BACT,” he said. “That’s one of the requirements for approval. We won’t approve anything unless it meets BACT.” Norlund said the lawsuit hasn’t slowed progress at the

Marcy added that the “coopertition” involves “balancing up to three robots on

mill. “The structural walls (for the co-generator) were poured this week,” he said.

“That’s 50 to 60 trucks of concrete.”

He said the foundation will be in place by April, with boiler construction to begin in May.

BACT in fact?

The appellants say that in issuing the permit, ORCAA “ignored evidence that showed how some of the potentially toxic pollutants ... could be reduced by applying BACT, which Nippon assured community leaders would be used when it applied for permission to build the facility.”

Bob Lynette, co-chairman of the North Olympic Group of the Sierra Club, said, “Over the last eight years, NOx, CO and VOC controls far more advanced than what Ecology authorized in the Nippon ... air permit have been in use on biomass plants in New England and, more recently, Texas.”

Lynette said the BACT for NOx is regenerative selective catalytic reduction (RSCR), while the BACT for CO and VOC is oxidation catalyst integrated into the RSCR housing.

“It is routine to specify RSCR as BACT for the NOx control system and oxidation catalyst as BACT for CO and VOC emissions on stoker boilers because it is technically feasible, commercially available and cost effective.”

The suit was filed by Protect the Peninsula’s Future, Olympic Environmental Council, North Olympic Group of the Sierra Club, Olympic Forest Coalition, Port Townsend Air Watchers, No Biomass Burn and World Temperate Rainforest Network.

Marcy said the FIRST Robotics Challenge started last year with a grant from JC Penney through Clallam County 4-H. “Brad Moore, the robotics instructor at Sequim High School, took up the challenge,” Marcy said.

The Sequim team will meet in a regional challenge pitting 50 teams against each other. A second regional will be held at the same time.

Marcy pointed out, “This is an international completion. We see teams from countries like Turkey or Australia at the Seattle competition because it is the largest regional meet with the most competition.”

Moore said Josh Meyer from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has been

a huge help as an advisor and has put in as many volunteer hours as the students.

Moore also explained the role of the adult advisors, saying, “The students come up with the design. My job and Josh’s is just to help them.”

Moore also credited Jerry and Gena Royal with 4-H for playing a vital role in ensuring the team’s success.

The 12 “core members” of the team will attend the competition. Organizers hope to raise enough money to bring the remaining seven club members.

The competition isn’t cheap: The cost to register a team is $6,000, which includes a kit of parts.

Marcy said this year the team “added at least $1,200 more in parts.”

To raise money for the effort, the students hosted a pancake breakfast on March 17 at the school to help kick off the school’s Sequim Tech & Media Fair.

State legislators say peninsula stoves are safe

by AMANDA WINTERS Sequim Gazette

A bill restricting uncertified wood stoves at least 20 years old in parts of Pierce County will not have an impact on stoves in Clallam County.

State legislators who passed the bill earlier this month said it was necessary to address air pollution problems in parts of Pierce County.

Steve Tharinger, DSequim, co-sponsored the bill.

The bill allows a local air pollution control authority or the state Department of Ecolo g y to call a Stage One THARINGER burn ban at a lower threshold than the federal standard when air pollution reaches certain levels. The burn ban would prohibit people who have other adequate sources of heat from using any uncertified wood-heating devices, according to a Senate bill report. The bill specifically exempts residents for whom the stove, insert or fireplace is the sole source of heat.

Pete Church-Smith, chairman of the FourC’s Gover nment Oversight Committee, expressed concerns about the bill in a recent newsletter. He said the bill surrendered private property rights to the discretion of the Federal Environmental Protection

Agency and could result in the government removing or destroying people’s wood stoves.

He questioned whether elected officials in Olympia or Washington, D.C., are familiar with the way of life on the Olympic Peninsula.

State Reps. Tharinger and Kevin Van De Wege, DSequim, issued a statement decrying “fear-mongering” over the air quality measure.

“There is absolutely z ero threat o f g o ve r n ment coming into people’s homes and taking away t h e i r wo o d stoves. I re- VAN DE WEGE peat: zero,” Van De Wege said. “But without this bill passing, there are very serious health and economic threats for Pierce County, which is a major economic center for our state. Federal regulations would prohibit industries from locating or expanding in the area and that means loss of jobs. Nobody wants that.”

Tharinger said Pierce County is the only county in the state facing the air pollution problems addressed by the bill.

State Sen. Jim Hargrove, D-Hoquiam, also voted for the bill. He added amendments to the bill including specifying the law would only apply to areas of nonattainment (of safe levels) or areas at risk of nonattainment because of high air pollution.

Warrant nets suspected heroin dealer Husband, wife charged in court

by AMANDA WINTERS Sequim Gazette

Hours after an arrest warrant was issued by Clallam County Superior Court, suspected heroin dealer Todd J. Dodge, 40, formerly of Port Angeles, was arrested in Centralia and booked into the Lewis County jail.

Narcotics Team supervisor Jason Viada said the warrant was issued the afternoon of March 12 and Dodge was arrested at about 1 a.m. March 13.

The Clallam County Prosecutor’s Of-

fice worked swiftly at the request of the Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team to issue the warrant for the arrest of Dodge after OPNET received information about Dodge’s whereabouts, he said.

The arrest warrant was a result of an OPNET investigation in October 2011, during which Dodge and his wife allegedly sold heroin to OPNET in Port Angeles, Viada said. That investigation was similar to several other heroin investigations that occurred in the summer and fall of 2011, he said.

“There are people on the Olympic Peninsula that have sold illegal narcotics to OPNET and just don’t know it yet,” he said. “OPNET will notify those suspects of what they have done shortly after

their arrests.”

Dodge was selected by OPNET in part because of his extensive criminal history, which includes at least 19 convictions, 11 of which are felonies, Viada said.

Dodge will be arraigned on March 23 in Clallam County Superior Court on a charge of delivery of a controlled substance, heroin. He remains in custody at the Clallam County jail in lieu of $25,000 bond.

An arrest warrant was issued for Dodge’s wife, Ashleigh Dodge aka Ashleigh McLennan, 26, on two charges of delivery of a controlled substance, heroin.

She is currently in custody at the Lewis County jail in lieu of $50,000 bond.

Deputies find cocaine in car search Judge sets bail at $100,000

by AMANDA WINTERS Sequim Gazette

A Port Angeles man is in jail after deputies allegedly found 20 grams of cocaine and a loaded shotgun where he was sitting in a car.

At 2:03 a.m. March 16, deputies responded to the area of Beech Street in Port Angeles after someone reported being threatened by a man with a shotgun.

The suspect had left and reportedly was walking around the neighborhood armed with a shotgun, Chief Deputy

Ron Cameron said in a news release.

Deputy Mel Kempf observed a car arriving and leaving the area of the call in a short timeframe, Cameron said.

He and Sgt. John Hollis caught up with the vehicle near the 1300 block of Front Street and, with the help of the Port Angeles Police Department, conducted a high-risk stop on the car, Cameron said.

The driver and passenger of the car told deputies they had just picked up Zachariah F. Blaylock, 26, of Port Angeles, near Beech Street. Blaylock reportedly got into the car with what they thought was a gun while telling the driver, “Don’t stop for the police.”

The driver and owner of the car al-

lowed deputies to search the car and they found a loaded, short-barrel 12-gauge shotgun, 20 grams of suspected cocaine, an electronic scale and seven more shotgun cartridges where Blaylock was seated in the car.

Blaylock, a convicted felon, was later arrested and booked into the Clallam County jail. He is charged with seconddegree assault, unlawful possession of a firearm and possession with intent to manufacture or deliver a controlled substance, cocaine. He will be arraigned on all charges March 23 in Clallam County Superior Court. Judge S. Brooke Taylor set bail at $100,000 as requested by Deputy Prosecutor John Troberg.

New DUI law stiffens penalties

by RAECHEL DAWSON WNPA Olympia News Bureau

After a Friday night of happy hour and late-night drinking, many fail to consider the repercussions of driving while impaired, but legislators have.

Various changes to the driving-under-the-influence law have passed the Legislature unanimously and become effective upon the governor’s signature. The reform puts more stringent penalties on those convicted of drunken driving, including increased fees and facial recognition

systems on ignition-interlock devices.

The Department of Licensing takes the reins of the program from city and county courts.

The bill would impose fees to fund ignition interlock devices for DUI-convicted drivers who can’t afford the device. For those who are required to have the Breathalyzer — which activates the device upon exceeding the alcohol limit — and can afford it, an extra $20 per month is tacked on to the original monthly interlock device fee.

Stricter rules on who is required to have an ignition

interlock device and who may apply for one opens up the number of devices to those who have had their original DUI charge reduced to reckless driving. This, in turn, increases the number of devices needed and generates more dollars.

In addition to these fees, people convicted of driving while drunk now must pay $2,500 (originally $1,000) toward emergency response costs if applicable.

Washington’s number of deaths from alcohol-related car accidents has decreased since 2009, according to the National Highway Traffic

and Safety Administration, but that could be because the national average of general traffic-related deaths has decreased as well. The latest data shows Washington’s DUI deaths make up about 37 percent of traffic fatalities.

Among other technicalities, Goodman’s bill expands the definition for a DUI to include huffing chemical substances from the list of drugs one could take while driving under the influence.

Under terms of the new law, felony DUI cases are kept as public records. Formerly, people who had completed the terms of their felony DUI conviction could have their records sealed. The DUI reform takes effect Aug. 1.

The many faces of AARP

My wife just turned 50, so she recently experienced that least favorite American rite of passage: the arrival of the dreaded solicitation letter from AARP. I’m pleased to say that she took advantage of this opportunity to do precisely what I have done for the past eight years: she immediately and with malice aforethought dropped the solicitation in the trash.

Not that she was offended by the reminder of her advanced age; rather, because she holds AARP in EPORTER S contempt.

OTEBOOK As do I. Two quick questions, Mark St.J. Couhig dear reader: 1) Do you belong to AARP? 2) Which AARP do you belong to?

If you’re confused by the second question your confusion is, in AARP’s eyes, a marketing triumph.

You are likely thinking, “Which AARP? Why, I belong to the American Association of Retired Persons. I belong to that AARP.” Surprise. There is no such thing as the American Association of Retired Persons. The nonprofit organization that was founded in 1956 to help older folks was renamed some years ago. It’s now called AARP and it exists as three separate organizations. (Actually four, but for our purposes let’s not mess with the international branch. This is confusing enough.)

The umbrella organization is a nonprofit known simply as AARP. Then there is the AARP Foundation. It’s the AARP of old, a nonprofit dedicated to providing for the needs of America’s retired folk, or to phrase it more accurately, to anyone 50 or older who’s willing to pony up the $16 annual fee. This is the outfit that trains older drivers, provides tax preparation assistance and provides other do-good services.

You belong to that AARP. You also belong to the other AARP — AARP Services, Inc., a second wholly owned subsidiary of AARP. This fully for-profit organization has 37 million members and total reported revenues of more than $1.4 billion per year. AARP Services sells stuff, included branded insurance policies.

AARP Services also spends tens of millions of dollars on lobbying, including its recent effort on behalf of the Health Care Reform Act — better known as Obamacare.

Were you under the impression that AARP promoted Obamacare because they are your enthusiastic, nonprofit, fully-charitable-in-intent advocates?

Think again. AARP Services stands to rake in more than $1 billion in new business from, you guessed it, Obamacare.

The folks who run these organizations prefer you remain confused. After all, what they’re doing may not be illegal, but the arrangement provides an excellent reminder that those who confuse what’s right with what’s legal are morally incompetent.

I think very highly of for-profit companies. Ditto for nonprofits. Those who purposely confuse the two? Not so much.

So when I see some of the same folks who sit on the board of directors of AARP, the umbrella nonprofit organization, also sitting on the board of directors of AARP Services, Inc., its vastly profitable subsidiary, I naturally say, “Hmmm.”

’

A little like the Great Oz In “Behind the Veil: The AARP America Doesn’t Know,” Reps. Wally Herger (R-California) and our own Dave Reichert (R-Washington), point out that as the Obamacare bill was being debated, many couldn’t explain why AARP supported fully the provisions that will reduce Medicare funding by $500 billion. The congressmen posit it was because most of the cuts will come from Medicare Advantage, a direct competitor of AARP’s own Medigap insurance plan.

An editorial published in the Acadiana Gazette in Louisiana points out that Reps. Herger and Reichert are now attempting to push through a bill that would strip AARP of its tax-exempt status. The editorial concludes: “Opening the eyes of the AARP membership to the organization’s demagoguery may even expose the association in its efforts to block reforming of Social Security and Medicare to suit their own advantage rather than to the senior citizens they pretend to serve.”

Given the raw political power AARP exerts, it takes a brave politician even to suggest such a bill. Bravo. And bon chance as they say in Acadiana.

As for me, I won’t belong to any organization that seeks to serve its members’ self-interests to the detriment of others.

That is particularly true of an organization that seeks to serve the interests of folks like me, who are collectively the wealthiest, healthiest and most politically powerful constituency in the entire world.

My true constituency can be summed up simply as, “all of us.”

I have been the beneficiary of the most outlandish spending spree in human history. Me and mine have managed to put together $17 trillion in debt, a debt that we are leaving to our children. Yes, we paid our taxes, and yes, we paid our Social Security payments. But we didn’t scream bloody murder as the politicians purchased our votes with borrowed money, nor did we toss out the bums who were pillaging the Social Security Trust Fund, replacing real money with IOUs. We are leaving our children and grandchildren with more than $100 trillion in unfunded mandates.

Fortunately, I have an out. Before the merde hits the ventilateur, as they say in Acadiana, I plan to be dead. I figure

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A utility district with nerve With reference to “Clallam PUD warns of possible rate increases” (Sequim Gazette, page A-5, March 14): One wonders just how much of that “possible” rate increase is attributable to the abjectly stupid removal of the Elwha River dams and the loss of 19 megawatts of “renewable” electrical energy.

One also wonders why the PUD does not lower its rates slightly instead of trying to shove CFL light bulbs down our throats.

As sentient human beings we are perfectly capable of making our own decisions about what type of light bulb we want to use. Frankly, I find the practice insulting.

Putting up with our federal and state regulatory agencies is bad enough without our energy supplier attempting to tell us what to do.

Ethan Harris Sequim

Speak your mind about biomass Port Angeles and Nippon are moving rapidly for final approval of their biomass boiler facility. This will mean profit for Nippon and “green” electricity for California.

For Clallam County folks, it means a plume of toxic smoke drifting downwind to spread dioxins, toxic metals, sulfur dioxide and ultra-small soot particles on our fields, rivers, gardens and lungs. Once they use up the local slash and downed timber waste here, which will not take long, 30 or 40 huge, hog fuel trucks will start daily travel on U.S. Highway 101 to Nippon.

With the wood debris cleaned off the for-

est floor, there will be increased erosion, loss of habitat and increased flooding. When the plant goes bankrupt, like most of the others have once the subsidies and tax credits have expired, we will see a clean-up mess like Rayonier.

Even now, while the government cleans up the existing mess in the harbor, another government agency is approving a new source of pollution right upwind of that project.

This is moving way too fast. We need reasonable limits on the outfall, use of Best Available Technology to clean up the plume, and assurance from Nippon that if their paper mill closes, the boiler plant closes with it. Please call, write or e-mail any official you think might care more about the health of the Olympic North Coast than the profits it will generate for a foreign company.

This is too important to let those with a vested interest in their profits make all the decisions.

ons. In Clallam County, signs were placed in the courthouse indicating that such weapons are banned from the second floor of the courthouse where the courtrooms are located.

No measures were taken to ensure that this prohibition is honored. To date, persons coming to the first floor of the courthouse may lawfully be fully armed.

In 2006, the state Legislature allocated funds for Superior Courts under the Court Improvement Act. The Clallam County Superior Court judges committed those funds to the purpose of hiring one courthouse security officer. Since 2006 that officer has provided security for both the Clallam County Courthouse and the Clallam County Juvenile Services building miles away. The courthouse security officer must split his services between the two buildings, which include six courtrooms and many other county offices. In 2011, our security officer took 215 people into custody, was requested to provide “standby” presence 162 times and responded to 74 incidents.

Over the past two decades the proposed Clallam County Superior Court budgets have included a request for full courthouse security as is presently the norm in most Washington counties. In King County full security was established in 1995 immediately after, but only after, an estranged wife and two other women, one seven months pregnant, were gunned down in the courthouse.

While the Superior Courts are state courts that hear state cases, our state Legislature

spends relatively little to fund them. Washington ranks 50th of the 50 states in the amount it spends on its state courts.

Under the current budget scenarios in Olympia, that support is likely to decrease, including potential loss of the Court Improvement funds.

Since before Washington became a state, county sheriffs, by statute, have been required to attend each session of court. Jefferson County complies with this statute.

Clallam County does not.

We have a grant-funded metal detector but no one to regularly man it. On the few occasions when Clallam County has had special procedures to screen parties coming into our courtrooms for high profile cases, numerous weapons were found.

The Grays Harbor Superior Court judges, earlier this year, filed suit against their county commissioners, claiming, in part, that Grays Harbor County had the worst security of any multi-judge jurisdiction. Clallam County can rightfully claim second place in that “worst security” category.

Thirty-five years ago in Clallam County a felony defendant sat on the witness stand in front of a citizen jury while he was armed with a firearm. Today, no one can tell you whether or not that is still occurring in our Clallam courts. There is a cost to providing courthouse security.

There may be a greater cost in not providing courthouse security.

nity its identity? It may have breathtaking scenery, but the small-town atmosphere is a fusion of its locale, its citizens and its small businesses who share your same love of place and camaraderie.

What better way to express this than by supporting your local business with your local dollars — your favorite restaurant, gift boutique, bookstore, grocery, far m store, nursery, bakery, co-op or any business that is run by a local individual or more, who are trying very hard to keep that business alive in these tough times.

Other communities in our nation have instituted “cash mobs” — 10-20 concerned citizens who converge on a small business with $20 cash each, intent on spending those dollars immediately. Maybe you can’t organize a “mob” but could you visit by yourself

or ask a friend along? Walk in the door of your favorite store with the intention of spending your money. If you can’t find something to buy, ask for a gift certificate. That gives instant cash flow to the merchant. You can use your certificate later or pass it on to a friend who might enjoy a special treat. Can’t afford that $20? How about $10 or even $5?

It feels better to walk into a business and say, “I’m so glad you are here,” and demonstrate that by letting your money work for you and that small business owner.

It’s better to keep our local businesses supporting us with those things essential to making our community thrive than to look back and say, “Remember when we had a …”

I’ve had just about enough foolishness from Punxsutawney Phil, Groundhog Day’s infamous weather-predicting rodent. Phil has been playing the shadowy “… six more weeks of winter … we’ll have an early spring” game for more than 122 years — and with only a 39-percent accuracy!

Yet, look at the publicity! Imagine the business that Phil generates!

I’d wager that there’s not a single newscast in the Northern Hemisphere that doesn’t give some homage to Phil’s Feb. 2 appearance and prediction.

Punxsutawney, a town of a mere 7,000 souls, is perpetually filled to capacity with tourists, despite what its name means in the Delaware Indian language — “land of the mosquitoes.”

Folks might set out as leaf-peepers, UEST they may be intent on antiquing, they PINION could be in pursuit of Pennsylvania maple syrup, (despite incredulous Ver- Greg Madsen monters, it does exist) but every rubbernecker — be it summer, fall, winter or spring — ends up at the Punxsutawney Library to view the one, the only, Phil.

Sequim definitely needs a mascot!

If there were only some citywide agreement on an image, something that multiple businesses have included in their names, something that Sequim is internationally known for, (that isn’t in the purplish hue) something that is perpetually used in our tourism promotions, something real estate agents include in every pitch to out-of-towners, something … something …

Wait!

Millennia from now, when archeologists sift through what Sequimers have left behind, they are bound to conclude that we were devoted sun worshippers to the sky god, “Blue Hole.”

They will undoubtedly tie this worship to multiple references to the sun and sunshine in our public signage, to the bright sun abstractions we displayed, to our obsession with rainfall tabulations, to the rough translation of our tribal name, “Sun-He-Skwim.”

There’s our town mascot! The sun!

And what would be Sequim’s equivalent to Groundhog Day? Naturally, the Summer Solstice, which falls conveniently between The Irrigation Festival (May 4-7) and The Lavender Festival (July 20-22).

A June arrival This year, our mascot would arrive on June 20, 10:09 p.m., PDT, launching a wave of video press releases and a series of luminescent national/international appearances that would continue until the Dec. 21 Winter Solstice.

(I don’t have a clue about what ceremonies would recognize our mascot’s departure for the winter. Maybe he/ she heads off to announce the arrival of summer in Rio de Janeiro, our yet-to-be-designated sister city.)

The Sequim Sun’s costume would brighten any event or interview.

Bright yellow, soft and cuddly, emitting spiked flexible rays, certainly illuminated from within, the sun’s costume would be a joy to behold. Could there be a better photo opportunity?

In recognition of a time-honored Sequim tradition, we might choose to name our Solstice Greeter “Saul.” This would allow us to correct the pronunciation of the unenlightened, very much like we do with our fair city’s name.

“No, not ‘Sawl.’ It’s pronounced, ‘Soul (Sol) — like the sun.’”

Could there be an appropriate city monument to celebrate Saul? There seems to be plenty of room in Carrie Blake Park for our own Stonehenge, humankind’s oldest celestial and solar observatory.

Sequim could lay claim to the world’s only full-scale duplicate of this mysterious circle of stone monoliths.

And what would future archeologists make of that?

Considering the bounty of creativity in Sequim, the mind boggles at the possibilities offered by a living, breathing sun mascot that represents our small paradise.

However, let’s begin this quest by first agreeing not to name her/him “Sunny.”

October 5, 1945 - March 10, 2012 Jeanne Raye Wheeler passed away Saturday evening, March 10, 2012 after a long illness. She was born to Zella “Sie” and Violet Marie (Hyslop) Dunlap on October 5, 1945 in Anchorage, Alaska. The family traveled from Alaska to Sequim on the Alaska Steamship line when Jeanne was a toddler. Jeanne lived her entire life on the Olympic Peninsula, graduating from Port Angeles High School in 1964, and completing a one-year secretarial course at Peninsula College.

Jeanne married Auron Rychlik on September 18, 1971, and they celebrated 25 years of marriage before his death in February of 1997.

During those years, Jeanne’s favorite activities included camping with family and friends, berry picking, home canning and preserving, embroidery, and sewing. She loved collecting Depression glass and antiques. Jeanne took great pride in her lovely homes, designing, developing and maintaining gardening and landscaped areas.

Jeanne and Bill Wheeler of Sequim were married on October 12, 2000 in Laughlin, Nevada. Their life together was full of adventure; RVing in the states of Colorado, Utah, Oregon, Nevada, Montana, South Dakota, and Arizona. Family activities at “The Barn” with the Wheeler family filled her heart. Her life as a wife and homemaker was everything she ever wanted and she felt blessed to have shared her life with two “loves of her life”. Card playing, bingo and hanging out with her bingo buddies were favorite pastimes that gave her great joy.

Jeannie was strong and resilient, confronting life’s challenges with uncommon grace and courage. She will be greatly missed by family and friends.

Survivors include sister Sharon Peterson (Ron); brother Dean Dunlap (Diana); nieces Kimberly Peterson and Christine Keehner; nephew Ron Peterson Jr.; sister-in-law Bonnie (Wheeler) Hagberg ( Jerry); brother-in-law Barry Wheeler ( Jody); stepdaughter Carla Madison (Verne); stepson Bill Wheeler Jr. (Karen); special sweetheart Louie Rychlik; and grandchildren Crystal Austin (Ray), Jesse Carpenter, Rhylee Wheeler, Cameron Campbell, Cole and Tristen Keehner.

A celebration of life is planned for Jeanne on Saturday, April 7, 2012, 1-3 p.m. at “The Barn”, 2192 Woodcock Rd, Sequim.

Ronald L. Jacobsen Following a brief but courageous battle with lung cancer, Ronald L. Jacobsen, 71, of Sequim passed away peacefully at Kindred Hospital/ Northgate in Seattle on Wednesday, March 14th, with all his loving family at his bedside. He was born at home in Humboldt, Minnesota on October 19th, 1940 to August and Hannah Jacobsen.

Ron grew up on a farm, and worked on various farms in Northwest Minnesota before moving to Minneapolis to find work in the big city. Hearing from his younger brother Gordy, who had been stationed at Fort Lewis, about the mild winters in Washington, he arrived in Seattle in March of 1969, and it became his new home. He found work at Morel Foundry in West Seattle, and remained with them until they moved to Entiat in 1994. He worked for Woodtape in Everett until he retired in 2002.

He met the love of his life, Carolyn Fletcher Shouse, on Valentine’s Day, 1977, and they were married May 28 of the same year. On Valentine’s Day, 1978, he adopted Carolyn’s daughter from her first marriage, Karen Shouse. Every year thereafter, he enjoyed celebrating her special “birthday,” and counted her age from that date, creating a unique bond between them.

After retiring, Ron and Carolyn moved to Sequim, where they spent much of their time helping others, then returned to parttime work at Costco, working for WDS, handing out samples.

They loved working together, and getting to know the “family” of Costco and WDS employees, as well as the customers.

Preceded in death by his sister, Janis; brother, Gordon; brother-in-law, Mel Slotemaker; Ron is survived by his loving wife of 34 years, Carolyn; daughter Karen Dexter of Marysville; granddaughters: Kristine Little of Lake Stevens; Maegan Dexter of Marysville; Heather Dexter of Lake Stevens; Nicki Dexter and Laura Dexter of Marysville; and great-granddaughters: Payton Little, Madyson Walden, and Keeghan Johnson; brother Sheldon of Lynwood; sister Dianne (Jack) Fairbanks of Oak Harbor; niece April (Shawn) Fairbanks-Littlejohn of Lake Forest; great-niece Hannah Littlejohn. Family was of utmost importance to him.

Services will be at 1 p.m. Friday, March 23 at Sequim Community Church. In lieu of flowers, donations marked “in memory of Ron Jacobsen” may be make to Lung Cancer Foundation of America, 15 South Franklin Street, New Ulm, MN 56073, or online at lcfamerica.org.

A feat of field fitness Conservation District helps locals revitalize property, prevent flooding and runoff

by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

This time of year means mud and muck for livestock living outside.

Wet conditions don’t deter staff at the Clallam Conservation District who advise locals year-round on how to make properties viable in the worst conditions.

Horse owners Mike and Judy Paty attest to the district’s knowledge. They partnered with the district to revitalize their pasture and horse barn off Happy Valley Road.

“We did exactly as they said and it worked exactly as they said,” Mike said.

The Patys’ property of about three acres had water coming off two spots on their barn that spread out across the property and flooded.

“We were constantly losing a boot because it was so muddy,” Mike said.

When they bought their horse, Molly, conditions became worse as the mud prevented the Patys from picking up the horse’s waste easily.

The couple contacted the conservation district and later created a farm plan over a few months to prevent runoff and flooding, create easier cleanup and preserve fields

Visit www.clallamcd.org for more information. for the warmer months. The district staff provided technical information and expertise throughout the process.

“After two years of a mud hole, I said enough is enough,” Mike said.

Jennifer Coyle-Bond, a conservation planner, encourages livestock owners to get their animals off the fields in the winter and confine them to prevent a muddy paddock area.

Coyle-Bond said this helps prevent water and animal waste from mixing and going into the water table.

“Bottom line is this is to promote water quality,” she said. “Even though this is just one farm, it has a comprehensive effect across the county.”

What they did The Patys started their farm plan last August and finished after two months.

Their paddock area became

mud-free with six inches of compacted rock and about one inch of pea gravel on top. They piped roof water to a ditch.

Manure is collected daily and stored in a covered pile.

Their horse stays off the pasture all winter to help grass grow back.

“It takes me two or three minutes to clean up,” Judy said. “I can go out in my flipflops and it’s done.”

For those considering an option similar to the one used by the Patys, Coyle-Bond said there’s not much people can do physically in the winter, but this is the time to plan for action.

She emphasized that gutters are essential for homes and barns.

“One shed can displace thousands of gallons of water in a paddock area,” she said.

“People need to see where the water is going or where it can go.”

district is the possibility of cost-sharing on conservation projects.

The Patys said they received about $1,700, half of the costs, once the project was finished.

They kept a detailed log of all activity and underwent inspections during construction, but Mike said it was no problem.

Coyle-Bond said grant funding to reimburse residents comes from different agencies such as the Department of Ecology and the Environmental Protection Agency.

Funding also depends on residents’ proximity to water areas, but most landowners with livestock are eligible, she said.

Funds aren’t always available for reimbursement, but conservation staff continue to

As re-elected treasurer Betsy Fulwider (far right) demonstrated, it wasn’t all work at the United Way of Clallam County annual meeting Tuesday, March 13.

Not that they didn’t accomplish any chores.

On the agenda for the day was the election of officers, including new president Lisa Meyer, manager of U.S. Bank Port Angeles branch; vice president Don Bradley of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory; and Fulwider, who works with Pierce Jones and Associates.

The members also heard an annual report from each of the organization’s committees regarding the work accomplished in 2011.

Board members who had completed their term on the board were given a fond farewell, including Simon Barnhart, Platt Irwin Law Firm; Tricia Gormley, Peninsula College student; Sandy Long, a dedicated community volunteer; and Jamye Wisecup, Clallam County Emergency Management.

Tom and Jackie Baermann, Pacific Office Equipment, also left the board after what Jodi Moss, executive director of United Way of Clallam County, called “a successful year.”

Jim Dries and his wife Carol Swarbrick Dries, founders of Readers Theatre Plus (RT+), joined with Dewey Ehling, center, to inaugurate what they hope will be a yearly event: an Oscar Night that also included the presentation of “Dewey” awards to honor local thespians and those who help produce the shows.

RT+ board member Paul Martin said, “Dewey, of course, is the esteemed ‘Music Man,’ here in Clallam County and the person for whom our local awards were named.”

“Oscar Night” was held Sunday, Feb. 26, at the Sequim Elks Lodge and featured a video feed of the real Oscar presentations, live entertainment by several folks closely affiliated with RT+ and a terrific dinner served by the Elks Lodge volunteers.

As part of a fundraising effort, those in attendance predicted the Academy Award winners. Trent Pomeroy was the winner with 16 of 24 correctly chosen.

Dewey Awards were presented to local actors, actresses, directors and writers who participated in Readers Theatre Plus plays and musicals during calendar year 2011.

The “People’s Choice” award winners are, by category: Locally Written Play: (Tie) Ric Munhall, “Murder Most Fowl” and Carol Swarbrick Dries, “American Hero Quilts” Best Musical: “Plaid Tidings” Best Production: “Plaid Tidings” Best Director: “Plaid Tidings” Ensemble: “Plaid Tidings”: Bud Davies, Shawn Dawson, Brian Doig and Ric Munhall Supporting Actress: Barbara Hughes, “Murder Most Fowl” Best Supporting Actor: (Tie) Ric Munhall, “Mary Zepp”; John Silver, “Gilbert & Sullivan a la Carte” Lead Actress: Carol Swarbrick Dries, “The Guys” Lead Actor: Paul Martin, “The Guys” Also, for “Service Above & Beyond” RT+ recognized four individuals with “Special Awards,” including Pat Marcy for “Gilbert

ONP seeks volunteers for marmot project

HERITAGE CAUCUS IN OLYMPIA

Olympic National Park invites people who like to hike and camp to become “citizen scientists” and help monitor the status of the Olympic marmot, Washington’s state endemic mammal, in the park and adjacent Olympic National Forest.

Volunteers visit designated areas in small groups to gather information about population and distribution.

Volunteers must be capable of hiking to and camping in remote areas, be comfortable navigating off-trail and be able to work on steep slopes. Most survey trips involve a 5-20 mile hike (one or two days) with a significant elevation gain to the survey area, though some day-hike assignments are available. Volunteers 13-17 must be accompanied by an adult.

An overview of the program, including past results, available survey trips and an application, is available at the park’s website, www.nps.gov/olym/naturescience/ olympic-marmot-monitoring.htm. A short video about the project and the one-day training is at http://nwparkscience. org/node/1044.

Bassett gave a presentation about the MAC to more than 40 people from state heritage, arts and cultural agencies, as well as state legislators, who attended the Heritage Caucus. Van De Wege is Heritage Caucus co-chairman.

Classes on mental illness aid families, caregivers Family members, friends and caregivers of persons living with a mental health disorder are invited to a free series of classes in Sequim beginning March 24.

The course teaches the knowledge and skills that family members and others need to cope more effectively.

Facilitators are trained National Alliance on Mental Illness members who have lived the experience of supporting a person with mental illness.

Content includes the lat-

est in brain research and treatment options, working with the mental health system, advocating, coping with worry and stress, and how mental illness affects a loved one.

The 11-week “Family-toFamily” course about adults is often described as “life changing” and empowering, and filled with critical information. Frequently, participants say it is the first place they have felt understood and accepted.

A similar six-class course,

“Basics,” is designed specifically for parents and caregivers of children and adolescents who either have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder or exhibit symptoms such as school failure, behavior issues or substance abuse.

Both courses are from 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Saturday, March 24, at the Sequim Valley Foursquare Church, 9090 Old Olympic Highway. Child care can be arranged on site.

Preregistration is required; call 461-3859.

Conservation From page A-13 seek more grant funds.

Joe Holtrop, district manager of the conservation district, said they contributed more than $740,000 of financial assistance in 2011 to landowners for construction to enhance conservation practices.

Projects included farm

best management practices, riparian restoration, fish passage improvement, on-farm irrigation efficiencies and irrigation district/company ditch piping.

The farm best management practices typically were cost-shared at 50 percent of the total project cost and so were a few small irrigation ditch-piping projects that were done for water quality improvement purposes, Hol-

trop said. The Clallam Conservation District has been doing heavy-use area improvements for 10 years as a keystone practice, he said.

“It enables people to be environmentally safe and find a convenient place to keep animals and create a good surface to collect manure from,” Holtrop said.

Wildlife refuge seeks helpers The Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge will hold its annual new volunteer training from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Friday, April 13, at the Sequim Prairie Grange Hall, 290 MacLeay Road, Sequim.

Lunch is provided from 12:30-1:30 p.m. The annual refresher for current volunteers is 1:30 p.m.-3:30 p.m.

Primary duties of volunteers include greeting visitors and providing informa-

tion about the refuge’s trails and wildlife.

For more information or to reserve space at the training, call the refuge office at 457-8451 or e-mail david_ falzetti@fws.gov.

SPRING SPORTS PREVIEW: BOYS SOCCER

LET THE RACES BEGIN

Experienced squad leads Wolfpack

by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

For all of his skills protecting the goal, Byron Boots was almost equally adept at finding the net.

Now, the senior goalkeeper may add goal-scorer to his resume.

Boots is just one of several upperclassmen the Wolves bring back in 2012, seeking to improve upon a 2011 season that saw Sequim drop a 3-2 decision to Evergreen, missing the class 2A state tourney by one victory.

“We’re deep,” said Sequim coach Dave Brasher, now in his 16th year coaching the Sequim boys’ squad. “Might be the deepest team I’ve had.”

The Wolves lost some firepower to graduation, including top scorer Nick Camporini (12 goals) and Gerry Azanza (three).

But back are fleet-footed seniors Waylon Lam (four goals in 2011) and Mitch McHugh, who Brasher expects will fuel the offense up front.

Returning juniors Mason Barrett and Omar Flores command the midfield. Brasher expects big things from Barrett, who plays select soccer in the high school offseason.

Possibly joining them up front is Boots, who spent much

At a glance: SHS boys soccer preview Head coach: Dave Brasher (16th year) 2011 record: 9-8 overall (4-4, fifth in Olympic League); 1-1 in postseason Returning starters: Byron Boots (F/ GK, sr.), Mitch McHugh (F, sr.), Waylon Lam (F, sr.), Irons Ring (D, sr.), Mason Barrett (M, jr.), Omar Flores (M, jr.), Lijah Sanford (D, so.)

Top newcomers: Bailey Collins (D, so.), Dorian Halverson (GK, jr.), Ryan Pinza (M, sr.), Lorenzo Gonzalez (D, sr.), Chris Venegas (D, sr.), Alejandro Lopez (D, sr.)

Key dates: March 22 vs.

Kingston, March 24 vs. Port Angeles, March 27 vs. Olympic, April 26 vs. North Kitsap.

of the past two seasons at the keeper position. If Boots moves out into the field, newcomer Dorian Halverson looks to take up the net-minder spot.

Senior Irons Ring and sophomore Lijah Sanford are experienced middle defenders. Complementing them is a host of outside defenders that Brasher calls the strength of this team.

The defense corps includes Bailey Collins, Lorenzo Gonzalez, Chris Venegas, Alejandro Lopez, Hector Baylon, Nicolas Baird and Kendall Perlwitz.

A pleasant surprise addition to the team, Brasher noted, is Ryan Pinza, who played some baseball in previous spring seasons but now is trying his feet in the soccer arena. Brasher said the senior might start for Sequim.

With so much speed up front, Brasher said he expects the Wolves to take direct shots at opponents’ goals before using a second tactic of pushing into the corners to open up other scoring opportunities. With Sanford, Brasher has a strong middle defender with speed who can make runs out of the back for scoring chances as well.

Brasher said top Olympic League teams besides the Wolves include North Kitsap, Kingston, Bremerton and Port Angeles.

SPRING SPORTS PREVIEW: TRACK AND FIELD

SHS athletes back on track

by MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

This isn’t the biggest team coach Brad Moore has seen in his nearly two decades with the Sequim High track and field program.

But judging by a pair of junior class leaders, it may be the most versatile.

Jayson Brocklesby and Haleigh Harrison lead a Wolfpack of about 45 athletes into the 2012 spring campaign, seeking to improve upon Sequim’s third-place finishes at the Olympic League meet and rack up more state berths.

A STUDENT-STAFF SHOWDOWN

Sequim High teacher Joe Younger and SHS senior Zach Springer join staff and classmates in a basketball showdown slated for 5:30 p.m. Friday, March 23, at the SHS gym. The student-staff game is a fundraiser for the Class of 2012. General admission is $1 for students with ASB cards, $3 for all others. Special rules are in play, allowing teams to “purchase” points, bribe referees and other quirky rules. Students who will be playing on the seniors’ team include Springer, Corbin Webb, Evan Hill, Frank Catelli, Lane Steichen, Nick Ramirez, Desiree Briones and Laura Rutherford.

Harrison placed fourth in the high jump and helped the 4x400 relay team to a top-10 finish at the state 2A meet, but she’s also adept at long jump and triple jump, hurdles and sprints.

Likewise for Brocklesby, who posted big marks in the jumps and sprints and even helped Sequim’s 4x100 relay squad set a school record at subdistricts.

Brocklesby took 15th in the high jump and helped that 4x100 relay squad take seventh at the state 2A meet last spring.

“He’s just that kind of kid; he can do just about anything he wants,”

Moore says.

On the boys’ side, Sequim sees plenty of strong athletes return, including Mack Grinnell, who topped 13 feet in the pole vault at districts — an 18-inch personal record — to qualify for state, and Emanuel Herrera, who was third at state in the 300 hurdles in 2010 and placed 10th in the same event last spring.

An injury dogged the fleet-footed senior in 2011, but Moore has high hopes for Herrera this time around.

“He’s going to be solid this year;

Will UW’s Dawgs have their day in the NIT? It’s March Madness time and we are approaching the second weekend of college basketball’s end-of-season tournament.

Already the 68-team field has been whittled down to 16 teams and only four will remain when Sunday’s games are over.

Of course I am writing about the NCAA basketball tournament, folks, but another tourney has been underway, the National Invitational Tournament, the one for 32 teams that did not make it into the field of 68.

Washington Huskies fans were chagrined and angry that the Dawgs did not make the NCAA field.

SPOTLIGHT ON SPORTS Scooter Chapman It’s Washington’s fifth foray into the NIT field: 1996: Michigan State won, 64-50.

1997: Nebraska won the first round game, 67-63.

1982: Washington beat Brigham Young, 66-63, then lost to Texas A&M 69-65.

The Dawgs struggled with Texas-Arlington until the second half when they put together a run and tallied a 72-62 victory.

Then the Huskies erupted for some big shots in a 76-55 win over Northwestern, led by the 32 points delivered by Terrance Ross and 20 from C.J. Wilcox.

The thing about the NIT is that so few knew about the game that only 2,800 fans were

Already perennial league favorites, Sequim’s golf squads look primed for another solid campaign on the fairways.

Sequim sees its top finishers on both squads return in Ryan O’Mera and Hailey Estes, backed by teams deep with returning stars and promising newcomers.

On the boys’ side, senior Ryan O’Mera looks to improve on his eighth-place finish at the state 2A tournament. He placed 43rd as a freshman and 28th in his sophomore year.

Backing O’Mera is senior lefty Casey Torres, along with senior Michael Ballard, junior Brendon Hudson and sophomore Anthony Pinza.

Sequim’s boys went 7-1 last

spring, one spot behind league champ Port Townsend.

On the girls’ side, seventhyear coach Garrett Smithson sees two of his three state placers in Estes and Elisa Sallee back in the fold.

Estes placed 27th at the state 2A meet while Sallee placed 75th overall. Along with returnees Maddy Fisher and Vanessa Martinez, Sequim’s lineup is bolstered by rookies Caitlin Stofferahn and Brianna Kettel.

The Wolves were 7-0-1 last season, edging Port Angeles for the league crown. Leading that squad was four-year varsity starter Kim Duce.

SHS girls top P.A. Estes is right back in the swing of things.

The Sequim senior shot a

Top returning players: Girls — Hailey Estes, Maddy Fisher, Annika Lawrence, Vanessa Martinez, Elisa Sallee; Boys — Ryan O’Mera, Casey Torres, Brendon Hudson, Michael Ballard, Anthony Pinza.

Key newcomers: Girls — Caitlin Stofferahn, Kaylee Ditlefsen, Brianna Kettel, Cecilee Wech, Kailee Price; Boys — Frank Catelli, Christian Velarde, Tyke Chace, Matt Cays.

Sallee was second on the

squad with a 57 while Stofferahn shot a 60.

Dana Fox led the Roughriders with a nine-hole round of 55.

Boys — Joshua Cibene, Sam Lidstrom, Peter Ohnstad, Mikey Cobb Key dates: April 12 at Port Angeles; April 18 vs. Klahowya; April 21 at Bellevue Invitational; April 26 at Kingston; May 3, 5 at Olympic League meet.

Track From page B-1 looks like he’s in pretty good shape,” Moore says.

Also back are the versatile Judah Breitbach, javelin specialist Hamish Peers, a solid, strong long-distance corps led by Adrian Clifford and Dylan Chatters, and a pair of good sprinting athletes in Christian Miles and Lopaka Yasumura.

Moore says he expects good things from newcomers Sam Lidstrom and Josh Cibene.

They’ll help make up for the loss of several key athletes, including 2A state shot put champion Frank Catelli

(he’s playing golf this spring), sprinter Taylor Bonneau (moved) and runners Alex Jenkins and Stephan Stilts (graduated).

On the girls’ side, Sequim lost distance stalwart Audrey Lichten — a four-time state placer — to graduation, but most of the key pieces are back from a team that went 6-2 in 2011.

Along with Harrison, Jasmine McMullin gives Sequim another versatile athlete who can help rack up points in the long and triple jumps as well as sprints and middle distances.

Sarah Hutchison qualified for the state 2A meet as a freshman last year and looks

to improve, as does sprinting junior Mandi England, who missed a district berth in the 200 by one place. Hannah Hudson adds depth in the sprints as well after posting strong performances in 2011.

Sequim’s girls’ distance corps, for years an obvious strength, is rebuilding after losing Lichten. The Wolves do have a number of runners from last fall’s cross-country squad, led by Amelia Ohnstad.

Moore says he has hopes that athletes such as high jumper Kate Harker and newcomers Andria Bower, Lavee Hess, Sarah Henry and Olivia Barrell will help add strength

to a relatively young club.

Moore also like what he sees in early practices from freshman pole vaulter Emily Van Dyken.

“She has no fear at all,” the Sequim coach says.

Sequim pole vaulters have some extra help from volunteer coaches Chuck and Phil Milliman, both senior games medalists with decades of experience.

Sequim has one home meet this season, slated for April 18 against Klahowya and Port Townsend.

Barefoot shoes and saboteurs!

Question: Why is it that there always is someone in my life who will show up just as I start doing well and sabotage my efforts to lose weight?

What to do?

Heidi’s Answer: That’s pretty common. Just because we make changes in our life it doesn’t mean that our friends and family are ready to change with us. Change is hard and keep in mind that your change actually does affect THEM. So be patient with them. Especially with important friends and for sure with family and spouse.

Sit down and have a talk.

Reassure them that they still are important to you, but that you might say “no� to their lunch invite to the greasy spoon diner the two of you used to frequent! Just explain and reassure that it’s nothing personal. Be sure to express your needs and goals. Once folks know how important these lifestyle changes are to

FITNESS MATTERS Jay and Heidi Bryan you, they will understand if you give them some specific guidelines.

As for acquaintances and casual friends, you don’t need to be so friendly to them regarding their sabotage! You may just have to cut ’em loose if they continually are bringing you down.

Question: I am a runner and am considering a switch to “barefoot� shoes. Do you recommend these?

Jay’s Answer: Not necessarily. The jury is still out on

“barefoot shoes.� It’s a bit of an oxymoron, like “jumbo shrimp� or “race walking,� yes? According to the companies that make these “barefoot shoes,� also known as “toe shoes� or “five fingers,� slipping on a pair of these non-shoes will strengthen your feet and lower legs, boost your range of motion, reduce your risk of injuries, cure old injuries and even improve your posture!

Some of that could be true, under the right circumstances, but I’m not buying all of it. Remember the claims that were made for “toning shoes� just a couple of years ago?

Keep in mind that wearing the running slippers (or just going barefoot), rather than keeping your supportive running shoes requires that you completely reinvent how you run. You have to make the transition from the heelto-toe footstrike pattern to a forefoot landing to cushion

SPORTS CALENDAR School sports schedule

your impact. Your gait will have to change, your running posture will have to change.

It’s a totally different way of running.

A recent study commissioned by the American Council on Exercise showed that many runners have trouble making the change in their running technique (even after weeks of coaching), which can result in a whole new set of issues. Not to mention that barefoot running (even with the slippers) leaves you more vulnerable if you happen to step on sharp rocks, glass or debris.

In summary, I am not saying “Don’t do it.� Again, the jury still is out. If you do try it, ease into it with short distances and run on low-impact surfaces. Just make sure you change your biomechanics.

If you continue to run “heel to toe� as you do in your regular shoes, you’ll hurt yourself for sure with barefoot running.

A 1-1-1 FIRST WEEK

Sequim’s Waylon Lam, right, races past a Port Townsend defender last week. Sequim (1-1-1 overall) opened with a 2-1 win at Washington on March 13, getting the game-winner from Lijah Sanford. Byron Boots also had a goal. Two days later, Sequim opened the home schedule with a scoreless tie against the Port Townsend Redskins, getting a shutout from Dorian Halverson. Sequim traveled to Silverdale on St. Patrick’s Day and came up unlucky against the green-clothed Eagles, falling 1-0. Klahowya’s Ryan Frederick scored the game-winner. Sequim was at North Kitsap on March 20 and hosts Kingston (March 22) and Port Angeles (March 24) this week.

P.C. hosts soccer BASEBALL coaching course Wolves earn split

In April, Peninsula College hosts a two-weekend “D” coaching course put on by the Washington State Youth Soccer Association.

Coaches taking the course must have had an “E” license for at least three months.

After obtaining an “E” license, coaches may progress to the “D” license course, which is geared toward those who coach players of ages U14 and up. Also covered during the course is the coaches’ “Tool Box,” which focuses on helping players to learn through various coaching styles, as well as a greater understanding of coaching the 11-vs.-11 game.

This is a tested course in which candidates will either receive a National “D” License or a State “D” License.

Dates and times are: 5-9 p.m. April 6; 8 a.m.-6 p.m.

April 7-8; 5-9 p.m. April 13; 8 a.m.-6 p.m. April 14; and 8 a.m.-noon April 15.

Coaches need to bring pencils, paper, water, cleats, shin guards and a ball.

Cost is $185.

Applications and money must be received by April 1. There are only 15 spots available.

For more information, call Andrew Chapman, head men’s soccer coach at Peninsula College, at 417-6410.

With Sequim having one of the few playable fields, the Wolves got three home games last week in a busy first week of play.

In all but one of those games, Sequim took advantage of the home cooking.

Sequim (2-2 overall) opened the season with an 8-6 defeat at the hands of 1A powerhouse Cascade Christian. Brett Wright went 3-for-4 while Karsten Wake WRIGHT added two hits, but the Cougars got to reliever Wake for five runs in the fourth inning.

Wright had three hits and scored three times, Tyler Forshaw had three steals and Nick Johnston pitched three strong innings as Sequim edged Forks 11-8 on March 14. The Spartans managed just three hits off Johnston, Fred Serrano and Taylor Washburn.

On March 16, Sequim drubbed the visiting Bremerton Knights 11-5, battering 12 hits. Kyler Johnston went 3-for-4 with three runs scored while Forshaw, Wake and Jake Hudson each had two hits. Tyler Campbell pitched three strong innings while Hudson got the win in relief.

A day later, Sequim battled snow and the Chief Sealth Seahawks, falling 6-4 on the road. Campbell had two hits while Wright and Nick Ramirez had a pair of steals each. Nick Johnston took the loss in relief.

Sequim is at North Kitsap today (March 21) before hosting Klahowya (March 23) and Olympic (March 27).

Scooter From page B-1 on hand for the first game in Alaska Airlines Arena.

The crowd swelled to 5,761 for the Northwestern game and a big crowd was expected for Tuesday’s tilt against Oregon or Iowa and the Huskies were hoping it was Oregon as they want to erase an 82-57 loss to the Ducks late in the conference season which probably sealed their fate in not being picked for the Big Dance.

So the Huskies were snubbed. But, really, they have been such an inconsistent team one would have to agree with the selection committee in not choosing more teams from the Pac-12.

I think all the talk of Ross and Tony Wroten, the allpurpose frosh guard, going into the NBA created a bad feeling on the club during the season and Wroten tried to do too much on his own.

In the last two wins, he played a lesser role but was a factor on the boards and on the floor. Maybe coach Lorenzo Romar has gotten to his star player.

Washington is young. If Ross and Wroten realize that maybe talk of getting huge NBA contracts might not be a slam-dunk and return next year, Washington will not only get to dance with the big boys, it will be a championship contender.

For now, however, a win Tuesday to get them into the NIT semis could be a way to sort of thumb the nose at the selection committee.

How are you doing on your NCAA bracket? I picked Syracuse, Kansas, Missouri and Kentucky as my final four and still had three left Sunday night.

I watched as Missouri and Duke went down, but I knew I was going to have a bad year when I picked two losers in the play-in games and then chose West Virginia over Gonzaga.

The women I admire most is Juliet Gordon Low. I admire her because she wanted girls to be able to be more than housewives, she wanted girls to lead and grow with society. In 1913 she took 23 girls camping with her, without a man to help them, it was just them and they survived. She taught them how to work together and survive on their own. Juliet Low opened the doors for girls to be themselves and become leaders of the future.

Without her, girls today might still only be staying at home to take care of the house instead of being some of the most important leaders of our country.

-Melissa Copeland The woman that I most amerided is Mary in the bible giving birth to Jesus and take him without even almost and understanding the problems with having this child my go through but seeing being sent to be excuted would be horrible. Amagin seeing your child being sent to be exucuted without remorse. That would be hard to deal with. Now when she made that desishen she was like “ok” real quick. Being a mother is hard but amagine for Mary in her tough time.

-Bryce Dryke The woman I admire most is probably my sister.

She inspires me. I mean... sometimes she can be a pain, don’t get me wrong. But she inspires me with her talent of photography. Grace, my sister, is someone I look up to in my life. She encourages me when she hears me put myself down. I tell her anything and everything. She can be a bad example, but she inspires me to do things in High School like sports. If I make something she says something positive about it and it makes me feel more comfortable to go to college. I look up to her for anything everyday, she supports me which is something I admire, and I hope she continues.

Grace is one of the closest people to me. Not only does she inspire me, but others too with the advice that she gives. -Audrey Magner The woman I admire the most is my mother and grandmother because thats who I live with. My mother and grandmother feed, clothe, care and house me. Without my mom and grandma I wouldn’t be here at all in the sense that I would dead. I wouldn’t be able to live on the streets and face the real world. I am alive today though because of them with the help of money buying all the necessary things I need to survive. Its all because of my mom and grandma.

-Eric Haynes A woman I admire is my great grandmother. She is 87 and lives in Seattle. She used to live in Germany when she was a little girl up until she was 23. This was when WWII was going on and she as well as my grandpa (her husband) were Jewish but neither of them looked like it. They were both blonde and blue eyed. I mainly admire her cause she’s 87 fully mobile and still does stuff a 50 year old would. She also keeps her garden well kept, better than ours.

-Noah Christianson The woman I admire the most is my nana Jayne.

She was my day care lady. She raised me while my parents went back to work. The daycare had about ten other kids in it and we all loved Jayne,

When your child is very young, he probably won’t play with another child.

At the same time, he may enjoy just being close to another child. Two young children may play side by side but somewhat ignore each other. So when a child is old enough to play with another child it is an exciting time. That doesn’t mean playing together problems are over or that they will play well together.

Watch how other toddlers play together. There probably is a fair amount of grabbing, hitting or throwing things. Even at best they probably ignore their playmates. This is normal. This is the way play works for toddlers until about 2 or 3 years of age. To truly play together means sharing. An unwillingness to share is normal for a 2-year-old, but you still can start to introduce the concept to him because playing together and sharing take practice. You can help prepare your child for sharing in several ways.

• Be a good role model.

When you play with your child, ask her if you can play with a toy she has been using. Let her know you appreciate her giving you a turn and that you appreciate her willingness to share.

• Bring out cooperative games. If you have even just one other toddler over, figure out a game such as rolling a ball to one another to begin the play. A ball teaches each child to share.

Activities like crafts or other teamwork things encourage sharing. Play “My Turn, Your Turn” games to get everyone into the right frame of mind.

• Be close by. You need to be around during these playtimes so you can step

PARENTING MATTERS Cynthia Martin in when things get into trouble. Try to be calm no matter whether your child is the problem or the victim. If you need to, separate the children and redirect them to a new activity or a new toy. If one toy is what they each want, it may be time to remove that toy.

• Practice playing together … a lot. Just because one episode, or even multiple episodes, ends in tears and tantrums, don’t give up. Sharing takes time to learn. Learning social skills takes time. Praise your child when he has done a good job but always remember to be patient with him when he hasn’t done so well.

Sharing is a skill we all need. We need it to get along with others, to get through school, to be successful in our work, to make our marriage successful and to be ready before kindergarten.

It is well worth working on at this time and for all the years to come.

like a mom. She now is a grandma but she claims that my brother and I were her first grandchildren.

-Emma Eekhoff My sister Kelsy is the most inspirational woman in my life to me. We always hang out when she’s not busy with work or doing a photoshoot, which is pretty cool. She’s an amazing photographer and she’s even done photoshoots of my friends and I. She probably has the coolest personality of everybody I know, and we always make eachother laugh. She’s always been a good influence on me. When I was little, she would always do my hair and makeup, and I kind of caught on and learned how to myself. She’s always been there for me when I’m sad and stood up for me in many situations. Ever since I was little, Kelsy and I were always having fun together, whether we were coloring, walking up to Walmart or just to hand out, or she was doing my hair. She’s also taught me a lot of things in life. I’m glad that she still lives so close to me, because I have no idea what I wold do without her. -Taylor Innocenzi

I admire my grandmother so much, she is always there. I know that I can call her and she will be there for me. My Dad has been working alot lately and my mom has been sick so my grandma has pretty much been taking care of my sister and I. Another thing I admire about my grandma is her work ethic. She is always on her feet working, cleaning, cooking or doing something to help someone else. She started a successful business with almost no funds. She was using a door held up by two old cabenets. Now she hardly has to work because she can pay people to do it for her. I look up to my grandma so much and I love her. -Ian Dennis The woman I admire most is my mother. She works three jobs, does housework, takes care of my brother and I and she also manages to volunteer. I don’t know how she does it nor do I think I ever will be able to do it quite as well as she does. She is amazing. The other women I admired was my neighbor, Jo. She volunteered everywhere. She loved having me around and I could tell her anything and she would know just what to say. I wish she was still here but when I need advise, I can usually imagine what she would say. -Danielle Arnold The woman I admire most is my grandma because she is always there for me and she always gives me good advice for what I do in life like “always live life to the fullest” and “always keep your hopes up”. She will always be there for me in life or death and thats what I like about her. She will always care for me no matter what I do and thats why shes the one I admire. She is a strong independint woman that will always be there. She is like my mom now and I thank her every day for that. -Michael Kessler

These past few weeks, morning kindergarten classes have been humming with the beautiful sounds of young voices reading.

Starting Feb. 28, a different class of fifth-grade students has volunteered to come down each Tuesday-Friday morning to listen to kindergartners practice reading strategies and skills. The kindergartners love having “special buddies” and look forward to the one-on-one attention from the “cool” fifthgraders! The kindergarten teachers love having extra listening ears. They want to give a big shout out to the wonderful fifth-grade help-

ers and their fabulous teachers for sharing them with us.

Fifth-grader Tyler Morales said, “It’s a good chance for kindergartners to practice and we enjoy it!”

Kindergartner Sag e Younger said, “It’s nice when we have somebody to read to. They help me understand words. My fifth-grade buddy is like a teacher. I feel a little smarter after we read together.”

SEQUIM COMMUNITY SCHOOL Olympic Peninsula Academy held its annual Night of Excellence on Feb. 28. This was an evening during which students showcased what they learned in their enrichment classes. A dance for students in grades K-4 started out the evening, with a waltz that quickly turned into a lively swing dance. Both beginning and intermediate guitar classes performed several songs, with the audience singing along. The K-4 and 5-8 Spanish classes sang songs, and the Stomp class performed an amazing rhythm/percussion/stomp routine involving audience participation and tin cans. The annual Silent Auction, our PTO’s biggest fundraiser, was held in the cafeteria after the performance, along with a dessert social.

Author Arthur Dorros, who lives in Seattle, visited at the end of February. Mr. Dorros spoke to students about how his life experiences became stories, about illustrating and about how a book is published. He certainly is knowledgeable on the subject, as he has written and/or illustrated more than 30 children’s books, many of them award winners.

He met with both primary and intermediate grades in a large group format as well as conducting a smaller group meeting. In the smaller setting, students asked many questions such as, “What steps of the writing process do you use?” and “How long does it take you to write a book from start to finish?” Both of the small group sessions created big books, titled “The Aliens at Greywolf ” and “The Science Experiment That Went Wrong” together with Mr. Dorros. They were left unfinished for the intended purpose of challenging the students to come up with the endings. The multiple story endings created by students

Clockwise from top left: Colorful clothing highlights a lavender festival in the village of Saint Agnès, France.

SOFA CINEMA Rebecca Redshaw

Sainte Agnès, France, is the highest coastal village in Europe.

“Downton Abbey” 2010 Season 1 of PBS’ Masterpiece series “Downton Abbey” is available on DVD and offers the best place to meet the multitude of characters in this period serial. World War I is featured in Season 2, airing Sundays at 9 p.m. on KCET in the Northwest. Season 3 is highly anticipated with the addition of its second American, played by Shirley MacLaine, to the cast. Currently, Elizabeth McGovern is surrounded by the aristocrats of the Crawley family residing at or near Downton Abbey and, as the lady of the manor, oversees the expansive household staff that serves their every need.

Not since “Upstairs Downstairs.” the popular miniseries of the 1970s, has this historical time period and lavish lifestyle been so eagerly embraced by the viewing public, and deservedly so.

Lord Crawley reigns over the estate that cannot be inherited by any of his three totally different daughters, who find themselves in all kinds of interesting situations with various suitors at the ready.

Matriarch/dowager Maggie Smith brings so much to the small screen that a mere raising of an eyebrow or perfectly timed quip adds intrigue with every appearance.

The “help,” while on duty throughout the manor, rarely make a misstep; however, their lives are no less complicated or fascinating.

The settings are spectacular, the costumes divine and the story lines well written enough to contribute to stimulating water cooler conversation in the morning and anticipation of what drama the next episode may bring.

The saga that unfolds involves a myriad of interesting personalities, including a girl his age who spends most of her time at a rescue aquarium, her father (Harry Connick, Jr.), his father, (Kris Kristofferson), Sawyer’s mother (Ashley Judd), a feisty vet

A French Adventure Seven months caretaking a cottage on the French Riviera

by GLEN and SHARMAN RICHARDSON for the Sequim Gazette

How do you define adventure? There are as many answers as there are adventurers. Our adventure was about immersing ourselves for an extended period in the culture of a country where we did not speak the language and knew no one. Leaving our comfort zone, we lived in a space of 200 square feet, embraced

dramatic changes in our daily routines and were rewarded with the opportunity to explore the differences and similarities between the French people and ourselves.

We were in southern California for Christmas in 2009 when we received an e-mail by accident from a friend of a friend who owned a selfcatered cottage in the small French village of Saint Agnès near Monaco on the French Riviera. The owner of the cot-

tage in France had the opportunity to take the trip of her lifetime and was asking our friend if he had any friends that might be interested in caretaking her cottage for seven months while she traveled.

My wife and I talked it over and sent an e-mail volunteering for the job. We hurried home and started preparing to be out of the country from March to October. Accomplishing all that was required to obtain a long-stay visa in a short time period is a story in itself.

We arrived in Saint Agnès on March 17, 2010. Saint Agnès is the highest coastal village in Europe and one of the most beautiful small villages overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The village is 2,461 feet above sea level, with a population of a few hundred full-time residents. We had no car, two small suitcases, eyes full of wonder and minds full of questions. We wondered if we would be able to make friends.

The owner’s property consisted of two cottages and three long terraces with a variety of fruit trees and plantings. We would live in the “Mousehole,” true to its diminutive name, and manage the “Stable Cottage,” a 300-year-old stable remodeled through the years.

We leased a car to explore surrounding cities and vil-

lages in the Cote d’ Azure region and take excursions into the Provence, RhoneAlps and Bordeaux regions of France. We were 5½ miles up a mountain from the city of Menton on a narrow road full of hairpin curves, with sections that were only wide enough for one car. If two cars met in those sections, one of the cars had to back up to a wider spot in the road in order for both cars to pass. It took 20 minutes to drive the 5½ miles down the mountain.

Menton is only four miles from the Principality of Monaco. It is reputed to have the best year-round weather in France and is a major tourist area. Music, the arts and cultural activities are subsidized

by the government and are numerous and affordable; we took advantage of as many as we could.

We experienced day-to-day living in a small village, phenomenal hiking trails and a very old and rich culture.

We experienced the French health care system and of course wonderful food and wine.

We experienced many kindnesses from the people of the village, becoming “their” Americans. Because we traded our time managing a cottage, we gained new insights from interacting with people from around the world.

BirdFest beckons Birders set to soar March 30-April 1

by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

The ultimate local birding experience, the Olympic Peninsula BirdFest, returns for its ninth year March 30-April 1.

The festival, sponsored by the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society, James town S’Klallam Tribe and Dungeness River Audubon Center, features nearly 30 events to allow participants to spot rare birds, go on cruises, learn about the natural area and more.

Margie Palmer, chairman for the event, said BirdFest is a great chance to see something great.

“Birds here are diverse and it’s the beginning of bird song time,” Palmer said. “It’s a way to have a lot of fun and support a good cause.”

All profits from BirdFest events support the river center for field trips, education and ongoing programs.

Events like the San Juan Island and Protection Island Cruises remain popular with visitors to the area, said Sara Ellen Peterson, publicity chairViolet-green swallow man for the Audubon Center. She has Photo by Chris Perry participated in the San Juan Cruise a handful of times and said she enjoys traveling with like-minded people, seeing birds and marine life, and learning interesting information.

Birding events include trips around Sequim Bay and John Wayne Marina, Dungeness Bay and Three Crabs, Dungeness Spit and Dungeness Recreation Area and Port Angeles.

Peterson said birding events are one of the only opportunities to see endangered waterfowl that live on private property.

(Morgan Freeman) and a tail-less dolphin named Winter (Winter).

Even with that cast of talented actors, there’s no doubt the star of the film is Winter. If this tale unfolds predictably for adults, the movie has wonderful messages for youngsters. “Dolphin Tale� offers a genuine glimpse into the survival instincts of people and animals in an entertaining way. “B�

2011 Matt King has all kinds of bad luck. He’s being pressured to sell valuable property in Hawaii his family has claimed for years, his wife is in a coma with a head injury after a boating accident and he finds out (from his daughter, no less) that his wife has been cheating on him.

All of that is revealed in the oft-screened trailer of the movie, so there is no “Spoiler Alert� in this review. There are pluses and minuses to “The Descendants.�

Plus: The scenery of Hawaii is tough to beat. Then add the graying but per-

“Starstruck� follows the journey of a young woman, played by Sequim High student Ayla Iliff, to the center of stardom.

petually handsome George Clooney as Matt King, who figures in nearly every scene.

Minus: Clooney doesn’t play a handsome bon vivant. He plays a befuddled, bland, preoccupied husband who only wakes up to the world around him when confronted with parenting responsibilities he’s ignored for years.

Plus: Alexander Payne directed and wrote the script and even won an Academy Award for his adaptation of the novel by Kaui Hart Hemmings.

Minus: The movie opens with a voice-over by Clooney that doesn’t quite work. If you need to get a lot of plot details out and can’t get Morgan Freeman (who is absolutely the best at this technique), then try something else besides an opening voiceover. “The Descendants� focuses on a dysfunctional family. It was marketed as a comedy but truly isn’t funny. “C�

Sequim native celebrates publication of textbook

by ASHLEY MILLER

A true survivor

for the Sequim Gazette

Former Sequim resident Katherine “Kat” Drovdahl has exciting news to share.

Her book, “The Accessible Pet, Equine and Livestock Herbal,” published last month, is available for sale locally at The Good Book and online.

The book, which is written in textbook format, is appropriate for beginners to advanced students and pet owners interested in herbs and essential oils. Drovdahl covers easy to difficult situations that animal owners face as well as applying the infor mation toward the health and wellness of the entire family. Specific chapters include information on husbandry, failure to thrive, poisoning, parasites, the endocrine system, reproductive organs, skeletal structures and muscles, and much more.

“For a very long time there’s been a need for a pet, livestock and poultry herbal book,” Drovdahl said. “In my opinion, a good one hasn’t been published since the late 1970s.”

Drovdahl is a master herbalist, certified reflexologist, diplomate of holistic iridology, certified equine iridology technician and researcher, internationally

“The Accessible Pet, Equine and Livestock Herbal,” by Sequim native Katherine “Kat” Drovdahl.

certified aroma therapist and animal lover. She lives in the Siskiyou Mountains of Oregon on a farm with her husband and raises dairy goats. A flock of poultry, Norwegian Fjord horses, dogs, barn cats and a “pet” woodpecker complete the family.

Drovdahl is a Sequim native and graduated from Sequim High School in 1985.

She remained in the area until 1999 but visits family and friends at least twice a year.

Drovdahl already has started on her next project: a book for humans about cleaning correctly without causing bodily damage.

For more information about Drovdahl or “The Accessible Pet,” go online to www.firmeadowllc.com.

Locals might remember Drovdahl as the sole survivor of a January 1995 airplane crash. The pilot, Drovdahl’s father and stepmother were killed.

The plane took off from Sequim Valley Airport and was up in the air an estimated 10 minutes before it crashed into Blyn Mountain.

Drovdahl waited nearly 10 hours before rescue crews found the wreckage. She was able to tell emergency medical technicians her name and where she was hurt. She proceeded to spell her name and was able to hold up one arm for her wristwatch to be removed.

She sustained life-threatening injuries and was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center.

After the plane crash, Drovdahl underwent four years of intense physical therapy and describes herself as lucky to be alive.

The experience, she said, changed her life forever.

“I don’t take as many things for granted now,” she said. “And I continue to feel my injuries every single day, especially on the ones I insist on doing too much.”

Even after the crash, Drovdahl continues to fly.

“The first few flights were tough, but I had to carry on with my life.”

The Peninsula Men’s Gospel Singers presents two concerts of traditional and contemporary Christian music on March 23 in Sequim and March 25 in Joyce.

Sequim Community Church, 950 N. Fifth St., hosts the group at 7 p.m. Friday, March 23. Admission is by donation. Most proceeds benefit the church’s youth group spring break mission trip to Baja, Mexico.

Featured music includes solos by John Carson and Hans Kask; a duet by Lee Moseley and Dan Cobb; and a quartet presentation by Jacob Brown, Mike Stenger, Steve Campbell and Dave Meyer.

I NEED A HOME - PLEASE ADOPT ME Call Olympic Peninsula Humane Society (360) 457-8206 to adopt these pets JEROME

DAKOTA

Dakota is a 5-year-old guy that looks like a Tibetan Mastiff mix (though, he may be a shepherd or Rottweiler type mix). He came in with an eye infection and bad skin and coat issues that is most likely related to fleas. He is on medication and starting to look better already! Dakota has lived with other dogs, but can be protective of them, so it may be best if he is the only dog in the home and visits other dog friends on occasion. Dakota iss a sweet boy and will make a great new ew friend!

DUCKY

Jerome is a young adult boxer mix that came to us as a stray. He was a bit nervous at first, but he’s opened up a bit and we now know him as a happy-go-lucky fellow who’s happy to meet new people. He may get along with dogs of similar size, but he may be choosy about his canine friends.

Jerome will need lots of exercise to keep him happy and healthy, so a large fenced yard may be a must for guyy unless daily walks/runs are a this g part of your routine.

BUDDY

Ducky is a young border collie mix that came to us as a stray. He is a HIGH ENERGY guy! He would make a great playmate for another dog, or a fantastic jogging partner.

Ducky is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and ready to find a new home!

BANDIT

Buddy is a young black lab mix, and he may have some hound in his heritage. He is a VERY energetic boy that would make an amazing hiking/ running/biking partner. Buddy might be best suited with an experienced dog owner that can teach him some manners. And small children might not be a good idea for Buddy, but a family with older kids would do fine with him. Buddy is neutered, up to date on all vaccines and ready to go to his new home!

Bandit (aka Dakota) is a 9-yearold Blue Heeler. Bandit will need a very special home that understands Heelers. Bandit can be a very sweet dog with humans, but he cannot be around other dogs!

Bandit is neutered and up to date on vaccines.

SPAY & NEUTER YOUR PETS.

Trevor

We ask an $85 adoption fee to help defray expenses.

See all the PFOA pets at http:// safehavenpfoa.org

Savannah is a young adult. She’s a very sweet tuxedo girl who is looking for her forever home. Nemo and his brother Captain Jack have just come to the shelter. They have not yet seen their first birthday. They have bonded to each other and we’d like to see them go to the same home.

Nemo is a bit more shy than Captain Jack but kindness will change that. Captain Jack has a very unique coat – his black fur is tipped in white and has given him the worldly look of a far older fellow than he really is. These boys will need to learn to love the brush, to keep their coats looking good. Galahad is a green-eyed Maine Coon mix. Unfortunately, the two boys were not getting along with the older cats in their household so, sadly, their owners brought them to PFOA to find a new home, preferably together and one without other cats. Quin is the shyer of these two four year old brothers. The boys are very sweet, friendly and very bonded. They are a handsome pair that will be a lovely addition to someone’s family. Trevor is a sweet short-haired grey tuxedo kitty. With his distinguished white bib and four white feet, he looks to be elegantly dressed for the ball. However, this three year old fellow has had his share of living on the street. Trevor is very friendly and social, and gets along well with other cats.

So many puppies & kittens, so few homes!

Peninsula Friends of Animals is not associated with any other animal rescue group. Our mission: To prevent the birth of unwanted pets through aggressive educational and spay/neuter programs; and to place as many unwanted pets as possible into good, safe permanent homes.
