OMC commissioners told to ‘stay the course’ Union contract is fair, board supporters say by MARK ST.J. COUHIG Sequim Gazette

For the past 16 months members of the Olympic Medical Center Board of Commissioners have been taking it on the chin, with regular criticisms issued by

the 350-plus hospital workers who are represented by Service Employees International Union 1199 NW (SEIU) and by union supporters in the community. The protests kicked up a notch in early February after the board declared an impasse

in negotiations and voted to approve a new three-year contract with the union. Last week the commissioners enjoyed a bit of turnabout as during their Wednesday, March 21, meeting nearly a dozen speakers took the opportunity to express their support for the board and to encourage them to “stay the course.” Supporters included other union workers within the

hospital, hospital physicians and several from within the business community. Sarah Garrett, an applications analyst in patient access services at OMC and a member of United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW), told the board that “Not all nurses belong to that union. Many don’t.”

Fourteen men and women in the Clallam County Fire District 3 Volunteer Recruit Academy participated in a St. Patrick’s Day live fire training exercise at the former Fairview School site east of Port Angeles. Each student took turns leading a team into a specially constructed training device to fight a real fire, said Patrick Young, public information officer with District 3. Young said the Live Fire Training Simulator, also called a burn box, uses wooden pallets that are burned to create the kind of flames, temperature and smoke that the students would face in a real structural fire. Interest cards for becoming a volunteer firefighter are available at district headquarters, 323 N. Fifth Ave., in Sequim. Photo by Patrick Young

Children started March 9 fatal fire Investigators call incident accidental by AMANDA WINTERS Sequim Gazette

A house fire that killed a 2-year-old boy March 9 was accidental and caused by children playing with fire, investigators determined. Investigators from Clallam County Fire District 3 and the Clallam County Sheriff ’s Office concluded their investigation of the Blue Ice Terrace fire in Diamond Point, after conducting a detailed search of the structure and interviewing family members. The investigation focused

on the wood stove located in the living room area of the home, said Patrick Young, public information officer with Fire District 3. The fire was reported at 11:03 a.m. March 9 and the first arriving fire department units reported the structure was fully involved with fire showing from all openings, Young said. Initial 9-1-1 calls reported the 2-year-old child, Evan Bellis, as missing and presumed to be inside the home. Several hours later, after bringing in a large piece of equipment to remove the caved-in roof of the manufactured home, Clallam County Sheriff ’s deputies located the

Kelly Shea hadn’t spent much time on the Olympic Peninsula in the past three decades. Now — at least for the foreseeable future — he and his family can call it home. The Sequim School Board of Directors on Friday unanimously voted to offer Shea the position of superintendent, the top administrative position in the district. On Monday night the board approved a contract that will pay Shea about $130,000 annually, Sequim School board president Sarah Bedinger said. The contract is for three years but is renewed each year at the board’s discretion. Shea, executive director of Human Services with the Mead School District in Spokane, succeeds Bill Bentley, Sequim schools superintendent for the past five years. Bentley steps down from the role at the end of June. “I’m not really a team player, but he makes me want to be on a team with

him,” Bedinger said, moments after announcing the board’s selection Friday afternoon. “There are t h i n g s yo u c a n’ t t e a c h (and) so many things have to be done. How KUEHL do you set the culture to move forward? You can’t do that without the right leader.” S c h o o l board direct o r s p i cke d Shea from a finalist group of four, each MATTHES of whom made daylong campus visits last week. Other candidates included: Robert Kuehl, assistant superintendent with the Tumwater S ch o o l D i s trict; Mellody MAXWELL Matthes, assistant superintendent with the Tukwila School District; and Robert Maxwell, executive director of Special Programs with the Bethel School District. “What stood out about Kelly,” board director

OMC From page A-1 She noted that UFCW workers recently approved their contract with OMC. “After 15 months of negotiations (with SEIU), the rest of us were starting to feel like, ‘Why did we settle?’ I support the decision to force them to take the contract. If you want to get what they offer in the city, go there,� Garrett said. Dr. Mark Fischer, who practices at the Olympic Medical Physicians Specialty Clinic, read a statement provided by multiple members of the Medical Executive Committee, saying the members first wanted to reassure the community that the quality of care, patient safety, mission and vision of OMC “remains excellent.� He noted that “For quite some time and more recently, questions of safety staffing and insinuations about OMC quality of care and patient safety have occurred.� “Please look beyond any

Offended by comments Melinda Smithson, OMC’s controller/deputy treasurer, said she was speaking as both

a private citizen as well as an employee. “I think that all of us employed here would say that we would prefer to not have our pension cut or to not have to pay more for health insurance coverage for family members. But I also believe that it is a necessary step that OMC must take in order to remain viable.� Smithson also took issue

with some of the protestors’ comments: “I have been offended by the accusations against the board and against (OMC CEO) Eric Lewis. One of the accusations has been that OMC has spent money on unnecessary things.� “I am very, very thankful to the board, to Eric Lewis and to the administration for having the knowledge and big picture insight to realize that tough decisions have to be made.� Kaj Ahlburg, an attorney and businessman, said, “OMC has basically granted the SEIU the same benefits that management and the other 700 hospital workers have. Giving SEIU workers more would be unfair to OMC’s other employees.� “It would also be unfair to the taxpayers who support OMC,� he added. “Most taxpayers in the hospital district make much less than nurses at OMC belonging to SEIU,� Ahlburg said. “To ask these taxpayers, most of whom do not have three-year contracts or guaranteed annual pay increases, to fund even more lavish benefits for SEIU members would be wrong.� While the majority of the comments were complimentary of the board, two speakers took the board’s actions to task.

I think he can take us from good to great.� Board director John Bridge said he was impressed with Shea from the start. “The first thing I wrote down on my comment sheet was, ‘Wow!’ (It was) his energy and the way he looks you in the eye,� Bridge said. “This guy’s a leader. What really stands out is you see that (connection) with all of the staff. That’s what we asked them to do, is lead all of the staff.�

Decisions, decisions

SQUARE FOOT OF CARPET

Shea said his drive to become a superintendent of a public school district has been in the works for the better part of seven years.

Hearing convenes to weigh charges against OMC Representatives from OMC and SEIU are at the table again, once more under the auspices of the Washington Public Employees Relations Commission (PERC). But rather than continuing their 16-month mediation effort, a hearing is under way to judge the merits of several unfair labor practices charges brought by the union against OMC. Claire Nickleberry, an adjudicator and mediator with PERC, is overseeing the hearing, which began Thursday morning, March 22, and continued the next day. Nickleberry said the entire hearing should last five days, “but not in a row.� The hearing reconvenes May 2-4. Nickleberry said a number of outcomes are possible. For example, she may order the two sides to return to the mediation table. She said any decision she makes can be appealed to the PERC commissioners. If one or the other side remains unsatisfied, it can then take the case to court. She doesn’t anticipate handing down a decision in the case until September. Before convening the hearing, Nickleberry asked the two sides if they had discussed a possible settlement. OMC’s lead attorney, Julie Kebler, was succinct: “Continuously,� she said. Before sending the two sides out to establish which exhibits would be presented in the case, Nickleberry instructed both to take one last shot at a settlement. “This is a good time to talk about that,� she said. “You’ll never know more about the case than you do right now.� Nickleberry said if the two sides can agree to a settlement, the union would then withdraw the charges. She told those in attendance, “It’s pretty rare that they would reach a settlement at this point.� Coalition, asked the board to improve access to hospital governance information. Tim Kelly, a union worker

from Forks, provided a spirited defense of the union, saying he is proud to support its efforts.

Shea has five years of school district administrative experience after nine years working as a principal or assistant principal. An elementary school teacher in Spokane for 11 years, he worked as an elementary school principal for the Mead (1998-2004) and Central Valley (2004-2007) school districts before his current job as executive director of human services. As a youth, Shea worked for three consecutive summers on his uncle’s farm in Sequim. Among his jobs were replacing irrigation ditch pipes. He earned his driver’s license in Sequim and learned to golf at what then was the Dungeness Golf Course (now The Cedars at Dungeness). “It’s really about a family decision,� Shea said. “Both my kids are heading off to college next year. My wife and I can do anything we want to do. My wife wants to be near

the ocean and I’m partial to the mountains. Sequim’s got the best of both worlds.� Shea said he did plenty of research about Sequim’s school district, noticing both the district’s strengths and areas of possible growth. “I see great potential,� he said. Shea’s own educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts degree in elementary education from Whitworth University in 1986, a Master of Arts degree in teaching reading from Whitworth in 1994, a P-9 Principal Certification from Whitworth in 1998 and his Washington state superintendent certification from Washington State University in 2008. Mead district boundaries include the northeast section of Spokane and outlying communities. The district’s 575 teachers serve about 9,500 students in 12 buildings.

1934-2012 Sanford E. Sallee has ccompleted his hard labor in tthis region and has moved oon to his luxury mansion. His best friend, Jesus, has H bbeen preparing Sanford’s pplace to perfection and has said at last, “Come and rejoice forever.” Sanford was born in Payette, Idaho on July 27, 1934 to Catherine and Floyd Sallee. He completed his journey and departed on March 8, 2012, at home, surrounded by love from friends and family. Sanford was a walking adventure: logger, machinist, corporate manager, honored businessman, business owner, woodcrafter, landscaper, handyman, and, most of all, Christian evangelist. He is a lover of people and divinely gifted with an ability to display kindness, heal hurts, protect the weak, speak wisdom, and inspire laughter. He is a singing man with dancing feet, and tapping fingers, full of vigor to get on to the next adventure. “What’s up for today, Jesus?” was his persistent daily question. Sanford treasured his wife, Delora, showing to her his constant care. He raised 5 children: Bill Sallee, Cheri Sallee, Cathy Sallee, Sandy Sallee, and Marty Sallee. He loved his grandchildren: Joe Sallee, Riah Torgerson, Matthew Anderson, Denny Gilsoul, Billy Roth, Paul Anderson, Jesse Gilsoul, Rebecca Roth, Davey Anderson, Anthony Roth, Anna Roth, and Bobby Anderson. He is remembered as the source of family survival on long driving vacations. His songs, created from road signs and passing scenes have become a family heritage. He has made them know how to be glad. Sanford has exemplified for us many qualities. His family saw a constant living example of the patience of Christ Jesus. They experienced comfort daily, knowing that such a man would be hard at work in their behalf to make their lot sweeter. They woke in the morning with hope and optimism because these were his shining outlook, and he was a beautiful model. His compassion was famous. For him, nothing was impersonal, and every person was precious. Sanford’s moving on has left a huge hole in our atmosphere. We cannot replace his presence, his voice, his sweet face, his laugh, and his many daddy-isms. We can, however, look forward to the day when we will live with him. We can wonder if Jesus needs his handy creativity in that mansion.

Bistro inspired by baby by AMANDA WINTERS Sequim Gazette

At 6 months old, Adrian Meakin already is the man of the house. The smiley baby boy serves as both the namesake and inspiration for Adrian’s Restaurant at 665 N. Fifth Ave. “We wanted to have this family dynamic,” Caty Meakin said while sitting at a large table in the upstairs of the farmhouse-turnedrestaurant. For the Meakin family, it’s all about keeping the family together and giving other families a place to experience top quality bistro food at reasonable prices. Lunch menu items range from a house salad or soup for $4 to hand-cut sirloin and fries for $14. Dinner entrees range from $12 poulet au vin to $16 medallions de boeuf or a prime rib dinner Fridays and Saturdays for $16 to $19. They serve brunch on Sundays. “We’re not trying to get rich,” Caty said.

Family affair Caty, who worked in credit counseling, and her husband, Tanner, a private chef for the elderly, always talked about opening a restaurant together someday but didn’t act on it until Adrian was on his way, Caty said. “It’s really the business plan we’ve been making our whole lives,” she said. The family moved to Sequim from Silverdale and opened the restaurant March

8. Adrian spends most of the day with his sitter, Tonya Van Der Wal, upstairs or in the kitchen watching his dad cook. “He’s so enamored by everything that happens in the kitchen,” Tanner said. “He’s growing up in that kitchen,” Caty added.

Fresh food Tanner, a chef of 16 years, said to him food is the purest form of art. He takes his art seriously. There are only two cans in the kitchen: Canned sea clams for chowder and tomato juice for bloody mary mix. Everything else is made from scratch.

Changes, changes abound in your Sequim Gazette

You may have noticed a few changes in our hometown newspaper. Yes, we are on a diet … kind of. And not one that goes down easy. With the change in ownership in November of last year, we knew our new higher-ups would be tweaking some of our day-to-day operations and how we deliver news of the Sequim-Dungeness Valley to your doorsteps. And despite anything you’ve heard about a great American economic recovery, the reality is we are not recovering to where we UBLISHER S were five years ago. And ORNER while it’s been some time coming, this economic Sue Ellen Riesau slump has hit home. Here at the Gazette , we have had to face numerous cutbacks, from pay to staffing to resources. Unfortunately, the economy also affects our product. We put off cutbacks to the print edition of the Sequim Gazette as long as we could, but we have had to trim the paper in size and page count. That means we’ve had to cut back on a number of features, some you may have come to love, in order to keep what we feel are the key elements of a commuDITOR S nity newspaper. As you’ll see in today’s ORNER edition and subsequent Michael Dashiell editions, we have cut back a number of our local and regional columnists. We also eliminated several items, including our comics and, for the time being, our “72 Hours” feature in our Strait Scenes section. Many of you have noticed changes to our classifieds section, too. It’s a smaller format to be sure — nine columns across rather than six — but we hope that it still meets the needs of those who use that section. We do plan to use a larger map to assist our garage sale aficionados. After a brief hiatus two weeks ago, our Arts and Entertainment Calendar and Chalk Talk sections are back. We know these are popular features that readers depend on for their news of what’s going on about town or in our schools. As staffers who are still committed to hometown journalism, we know that these changes require an adjustment in attitude as we try to find the best way to move forward, continuing to provide readers with excellent news coverage of our area in a time of diminishing resources. One way we’re doing that is by moving some content online. While some of our readers remain steadfast paper-only readers, we know that many of you don’t mind reading your news on a desktop, laptop, tablet or smart phone. When we helped break news of the tragic area homicides in February, thousands of you (more than 2,200 that day and more than 5,600 that week) found our website through Facebook to learn what was going on and what you needed to know to stay safe. We use our website more and more to bring you news and we are hoping to add a “green e-edition” feature — an online newspaper — in the near future. We appreciate every loyal subscriber and advertiser and reader. We thank you for comments in recent weeks about what you’d like to keep in the paper. Your comments and insights are invaluable. We’re sure we will hear from more of you and that’s a good thing. This is your hometown paper, too.

His manners were appalling: He dominated the conversation and went on and on about ‘the American girl.’ ‘Does she know how to do anything? Does she help? Does she even make her own bed?’ After a while my Danish father just looked at him and said, ‘Ask her.’ He was shocked. I just told him, ‘Yes, I help.’

The impression he had was that Americans just pushed buttons.

Magnify the map Are you serious? Is the garage sale box now reduced to a tiny space in the classifieds? The first week I thought it was just a mistake, but two weeks in a row makes it seem more permanent. I am sure I’m not the only one baffled by this decision. Going to garage and estate sales is the weekend pleasure of many people. The map is really a big help in finding the sales. This week I couldn’t even read the name of some of the streets with a magnifying glass. Please reconsider the size of the garage sale box which includes the map. We need the old size back. Ellie Schmidt Sequim

Know the impact of biomass Your recent reports about the biomass power plant under construction at the Nippon site on Ediz Hook erroneously state that Nippon is paying more than $71 million for

the project. By all counts, federal incentives funded by our tax dollars are worth at least 45 percent of the total cost. This comes in the form of large tax credits through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and accelerated total depreciation of loans over five years with 50 percent depreciation in the first year. Nippon also has received a $1.4 million loan and a $600,000 grant through the Washington state Department of Commerce. In addition, there are numerous ways state tax codes create incentives for Nippon’s foreign-owned corporation by decreasing B&O tax rates at each stage of development and large exemptions from sales and use taxes on equipment, transport and millions of gallons of water required daily to run a biomass power plant. Does this make economic sense? Furthermore, there are no guarantees that the Nippon paper mill with its 200 jobs will even continue to operate, which is needed to keep the venture a cogeneration project. If the mill closes, real estate values and quality of life will continue to be impacted by the presence of a wood biomass power plant that is 22 percent efficient (coal’s burning is 40 percent efficient). The health of all of us on the Olympic Peninsula who are downwind, especially Sequim’s children and elderly, will be seriously affected. I urge all citizens to bring their questions and concerns to our county commissioners and city council members about this ill-fated project. Dorothea Hover-Kramer Port Angeles

simple ways to tell tinkerers to butt out, we can’t follow this simple wisdom.

Cures sometimes more harmful than the disease Just because something can be done doesn’t mean it should be. Our national panic about energy has unleashed more corporados peddling an array of techno-fixes — all involving disastrous consequences to our health, fresh and salt water and endangering Earth’s ability to sustain us. Simple measures like making homes, offices and other buildings energy efficient, installing solar panels on public buildings, schools, shopping centers and parking structures can go a long way toward easing future energy requirements. So can more energy efficient transportation — cars, trucks, ships, trains and buses. To the dismay of some, conservation isn’t gizmo-rich. Fracking, injecting water and chemicals to fracture underground rock formations, evokes our fondness for crashing, smashing and blowing up things, popularized in Hollywood action movies. In reality, fracking pollutes the air,

contaminates wells, causes earthquakes and threatens aquifers. Similarly, biomass incinerators like those proposed by Nippon in Port Angeles and Port Townsend Paper use monster machines to masticate slash and toss it into diesel trucks that roar down local waterfronts. The toxic gases and life-threatening particles from diesel trucks and the burning biomass threaten our health, our water and our air, researchers find. Tiny, virtually weightless nanoparticles can enter the blood stream carrying dioxins, heavy metals and other toxins to the heart, the brain and every other vital organ, even crossing placentas to reach fetuses in the womb. Current technology can’t filter out nanoparticles and today’s environmental laws don’t protect us as the winds carry them into our bodies and our homes, farms and fields, our playgrounds, harbors and bays. Biomass projects use tax dollar subsidies to make electricity to sell to the highest bidder. Neither the power nor the profits will stay here. Neither mill has guaranteed the preservation of current jobs. Neither has pledged to remove toxins from its site, the water or the local

environment. Citizen groups are asking for a moratorium on biomass incinerators to give people in the community a chance to examine their impact. Port Angeles City Councilman Max Mania became the first official in Clallam County to support a moratorium. Can corporations be dissuaded from further damaging our health and our environment? Will technofixers listen to Mother Nature’s needs? That may be as likely as getting a 5-year-old to abandon an X-Box for a walk in the woods. But it may have much greater consequences for the future of the peninsula. Diana Somerville writes about creating more sustainable communities and our personal connection with the environment.

The Spoke Folks Cycling Club took to the streets on March 23 to celebrate spring. Some 22 of the folks rode from Crown Park in Port Angeles on the old Milwaukee Road section of the trail, crossing both the Dry Creek and Elwha River bridges to near the top of Eagle Ridge. It was “about 10-plus miles each way,” said Tom Coonelly. “A good ride — a great day.”

Up in arms Wolves edge Klahowya’s Eagles in 1-0 thriller Sequim Gazette staff

The calendar shows this is still March, but Sequim and Klahowya played like an early May playoff game. Karsten Wake knocked in Brett Wright with a go-ahead single in the fifth and SHS hurlers Nick Johnston and Jake Hudson shut down the visitors from Silverdale in a 1-0 victory on March 23.

“Pitching and defense was fantastic,” Sequim coach Dave Ditlefsen said. Making his third start for the Wolves (4-2), Johnston improved to 2-1 on the season by going five innings and giving up just two hits and no walks, striking out three. Hudson saved the ball game with two more scoreless innings, giving up just one hit and striking out two. Sequim batters managed just three hits themselves, but made the most of their fifth inning. Brett Wright drew a walk and stole second before Wake knocked him in.

Back to basics: Getting a grip

HARD (COURT) LESSONS

In watching the PGA and LPGA tournaments on TV, I’m sure that you think there are many different swings among the best players in the world. Well, to an untrained eye that is true — but there are three things that all excellent players do, regardless of size. 1. In their grips, their palms are directly opposed to one another, whether or not their grip is strong (hands to the right of shaft center) or neutral (hands facing center). 2. Their posture at address shows a straight spine from their hips to HORT AKES their head. A player can John Lucas achieve this by simply making a fist and the placing his little finger on his chest and his thumb under his chin, then tilting from the waist. One’s spine cannot bend if the vertebrae in the neck remain straight. 3. Now here is the hard part: Maintaining that same angle throughout one’s swing past impact. One can learn this sensation in a number of ways. My favorite is getting a Hula Hoop; hold it in your hands so the hoop is around your back and the angle is angled to where the ball would be. Simply turn back and forth truing to

Road game? No problem. Sequim’s fastpitch squad remained perfect for the season at 2-0 after a 14-2, six-inning win versus North Kitsap in Poulsbo on March 21 behind a 13-hit attack.

Demiree Briones had three hits and drove in four runs, Kinzie Winfield was 2-for-3 with two RBIs, while Melissa Lewis and Makayla Bentz drove in two runs each for the defending state 2A champs. Leadoff hitter Rylleigh Zbaraschuk added a pair of hits, including a triple. She and Lewis had two steals each, as the Wolves stole eight bases against the Vikings. Bentz earned the win on the mound

in her first start of the season, giving up just one earned run in six innings. She struck out seven, walked four and gave up eight hits. Emma Keller led the BENTZ Viking attack with three hits. She also took the loss on the mound.

A track and field star in high school, Sequim High grad Anna LaBeaume is shining bright on the college scene as well. The sophomore at Linfield College (McMinnville, Ore.) was honored as the Northwest Conference Women’s Field Student-Athlete of the Week, as announced LABEAUME March 20 by the league’s sports information directors. LaBeaume, a 2010 Sequim High School graduate, won the shot put and placed second in two other events at the Pacific Preview and the next day recorded a pair of top-five finishes at the Oregon Preview. She won the shot with a season-best toss (41 feet, 3.75 inches/12.59 meters), was second in both the discus (season-best 112 feet, 11 inches/34.41 meters) and the hammer throw (146 feet, 9 inches/44.74 meters).

LaBeaume improved upon her No. 4 mark in the Linfield record books in the hammer throw with a career-best toss of 150 feet, 4 inches (45.82 meters). She also took fifth in the shot put (38 feet, 10.25 inches/11.84 meters). LaBeaume has qualified for the Northwest Conference Championships in three throwing events; she holds the top marks in the shot put and hammer throw as well as the fifth-best throw in the discus. Among all Division III competitors, she holds the sixth-best mark in the shot put and the 10th-best in the hammer. She is the defending conference champion in the shot put and finished 12th in the same event at the NCAA Division III Track & Field Championships last year. In the Linfield record books, in addition to holding the fourth-best mark in the hammer throw, LaBeaume also ranks No. 4 all-time for the shot put with a heave of 44 feet, 9.5 inches.

SCHOOL SPORTS RESULTS

CK Cougars top Wolves in the wind

SEQUIM HIGH SCHOOL

Sequim Gazette staff

In a battle of non-league foes, Central Kitsap got the best of Sequim and the windy conditions at The Cedars at Dungeness golf course on March 21. On the girls’ side, CK’s Katie Lee shot a 41 for medalist honors to lead the class 4A Cougars in a 17-shot win (246-266) against the class 2A

Sequim (1-1). Hailey Estes shot a 45 and Elisa Sallee shot a 48 through nine holes to pace Sequim. ESTES “The scores were extremely good for our second match of the year,” Sequim coach Garrett Smithson said. “(Central Kitsap) is coming off of a second-place

team showing at the 4A state meet last year and is usually a golf powerhouse in the Narrows League.” On the boys’ side, Sequim’s Ryan O’Mera earned medalist honors with a 37, but Central Kitsap had four players shoot 41 or better in a 201-211 Cougar win. Sequim’s Brendon Hudson shot a 42 and Casey Torres finished with a 43 to round out

the Wolves’ (0-1) top three. Paul Caswell (38) and Aubrey Mackenzie (39) led the CK squad. Sequim was slated to take on Kingston at home on March 27 — results were not available at press time. The Wolves play at Olympic on March 29 before spring break. Sequim returns to play April 11 at North Kitsap (Poulsbo).

BOYS SOCCER

Sequim-P.A. battle ends in draw Sequim Gazette staff

Call it a moral victory. While Sequim High’s offense sputters in the early season, the Wolves’ defense made sure they wouldn’t give up a match on their home field against rival Port Angeles. “It was a good game both ways; both teams had a couple of chances,” Sequim coach Dave Brasher said. The squads played to a scoreless draw on March 24, snapping Sequim’s three-

game slide. The tie ended a tough week for the Wolves, who dropped a 4-0 decision at North Kitsap on March 20 and a 3-0 decision at home to Kingston two days later. “We’re trying to find our identity,” Brasher said. “We’ve tried a couple of different formations … trying to find that right combo to get that threat up front.” North Kitsap saw four different players score in their shutout win in Poulsbo. Sequim and Kingston

were tied at halftime before the Buccaneers broke through with three secondhalf scores. BOOTS Against Port Angeles, Sequim saw Byron Boots earn a shutout in goal after playing several games in the field to start the 2012 campaign. “Byron definitely brings a confidence (in goal),” Brasher said. Sequim was slated to host

Olympic on March 27 — results were not available at press time. The Wolves (1-3-2) are at Bremerton on March 30 for their first Olympic League contest before heading to spring break. “They’re at the top of the league,” Brasher said of the Knights, last season’s league champions. “They’re playing well. It will be a good test.” Sequim is back in action April 10 with a home date against Bremerton.

Arms From page B-1 The Wolves were slated to host Olympic on March 27 — results were unavailable at press time. Sequim is at Port Townsend on March 29 before hosting Kingston on April 2 and playing at North Mason the following day.

Hudson sparks win at North Kitsap What a relief. Sequim pitcher Jake Hudson came on in relief of starter Karsten Wake with a 5-4 lead, then gave up a game-tying, pinch-hit single to North Kitsap’s Mike Allen in the sixth inning. The next inning, Hudson ripped a two-run single off of Ben Tramm, lifting Sequim to a 7-5 victory in Poulsbo against their Olympic League foe. Hudson struck out four Vikings and gave up three hits in three innings to pick up his second win of the year for

Sequim’s Karsten Wake takes a cut as Sequim takes on Klahowya on March 23. Sequim Gazette photo by Michael Dashiell

Sequim (3-2). He finished 2-for4 at the plate with three RBIs. Nick Ramirez had two hits and Wake added a pair of

hits to pace the 11-hit Sequim offense. Sequim got to NK starter Shane Crowell for seven hits

and four earned runs. Nate Reece paced the Viking offense with a hit and two walks.

SEQUIM HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES OF THE WEEK Girls — Demiree Briones, fastpitch. She threw a complete game shutout in the Wolves’ opener versus Klahowya while batting 4-for-4 at the plate. She followed that performance with a 3-for-4 day against North Kitsap.

SPORTS BRIEFS Webb, Hill go for 19 in all-star game Sequim High grads-to-be Evan Hill and Corbin Webb capped their high school hoops journey at the West Sound Senior High School Basketball game on March 14 at Olympic College in Bremerton. Webb scored 13 points and Hill added six, but their Puget Sound squad fell to Cascade, 68-66. With Puget Sound down by two late, Webb drained a 10-footer to tie it up, only to see Bainbridge’s Chris Bell return the favor with a 15-foot jumper as time expired. Port Angeles’ Hayden McCartney added five points and Cameron Braithwaite a point for Puget Sound. The squad had yet another Olympic Peninsula tie, as they were coached by Lance Von Vogt, head coach at Peninsula College.

The USC-bound hoops star led the North Region All-Stars with 18 points in a 118-116 win against the South Region All-Stars at Pierce College in Tacoma on March 11. Terrell, who transferred to Peninsula College after a year at Wake Forest, led the Pirates in scoring (and was third in the NWAACC) with 24.4 points per game and helped P.C. to a fourth-place finish at the NWAACC tournament. In Tacoma on Saturday, Terrell hit six of 16 from the field (including a pair of 3-pointers), was 4-of-4 from the line and added eight rebounds, three steals and two assists in his nearly 21 minutes of play.

Students in Monique Brasher’s class just finished a unit on persuasive letter writing. As a culminating activity, they sent a letter home to showcase their skills. Students learned about the parts of a letter, writing important reasons, transition words and how to write their address. Wow, that’s a lot of hard work! Their teacher is so proud of her amazing writers! Here are a few samples of their work:

SEQUIM MIDDLE SCHOOL The following students placed in the top three places in their categories at Regional History Day competition on March 19 at Olympic College in Bremerton: Addison Berg and Liam Stevenson, group performance; Eli Berg, documentary; Emily Carter, performance; Bobbi-Jo Terwillinger, exhibit; Alex Berry and Jerry Bran, group exhibit; Cecilee Wech, Kailee NEAL Price and Katie Stevenson, group exhibit; Brenna Neal, website. These students will continue to fine-tune and revise their projects to prepare for state competition to be held May 5 at Bellevue Community College. — Todd Beuke and Tricia Billes, History Day advisors Our school is hosting a food drive to benefit the Sequim Food Bank. As in years past, students and staff are asked to bring in nonperishable food items to fill up the bus!

6-3=3 An average school bus holds approximately 75 students. To determine this year’s goal, ASB students figured out that if each student riding on the bus weighs approximately 100 pounds, the total weight of the cargo would be 7,500 pounds. Of course, competition between grade levels and first-period classes adds to the fun. In addition to the class and grade challenges, 50 students have opted to form five-person teams that will “adopt� a seat on the bus. The team that brings in the most food to fill their seat will be treated to lunch from a local restaurant of their choice. The classroom from each hall (sixth grade, seventh grade, eighth grade and main hall) that brings in the most poundage will receive an ice cream party supplied by ASB. The grade that donates the most food will earn the most coveted spirit points. Currently, eighth grade’s Dream Team is in third place out of 10 registered teams, with 90 pounds collected so far. Eighth grade’s Team Two is in second place, with 263 pounds collected so far. Sixth grade’s Lucky Seven team is in the lead, with a total weight of 1,854 pounds collected! In hallway competition, Tracy Barnes’ leadership class is in the lead in the eighth-grade hall, with 114 pounds collected. Sue Brown’s class leads in the seventh-grade hall, with 64 pounds. Bryan Smelcer’s eighth-grade science class leads in the main hall, with 166 pounds collected, and in the sixth-grade hall, Meredith Johnson’s science class is in a huge lead, with 2,028 pounds collected! To make things even more interesting, she challenged her class further by offering to match their donations pound for pound! To say the least, sixth grade seems certain to win spirit points in this ASB challenge! Even with these great donations collected so far, the total collection is far from our goal. ASB has extended the drive until March 28 to allow students and staff to continue to fill the bus! — Caity Karapostoles, activities coordinator

Rainforest reporter... that is my game. I trek around the globe looking for foliage and animals, unique in their own way. Recently on one of my endeavors, I came across a rainforest that frogs croaked within and bugs crawled in. I found out a disturbing reality... every two seconds a rainforest the size of a football field is slashed down. In my view, that is horrendous, we should conserve and cut down those rates (no pun intended). Various diminutive naive animals’ dwellings just got cut down. Although it is just another phase of life, we should seize action and acquire results. - Maddie Matthews

In the upper layer, the tops of the tallest trees form a canopy that spreads out over smaller trees and plants. Some of these trees grow to be 200 feet high. Plenty of sunlight reaches this layer, making it the hottest layer of the rainforest. Eagles, monkeys, bats and butterflies Color the sky blue, the treetops bright green and the trunks brown.

This is the most colorful of the layers. Since the upper canopy shades the harshest sunlight, this lower canopy receives a filtered light in which flowers and vines grow. The vines grow from tree to tree, forming a woven maze. Snakes, toucans, treefrogs Color this layer with bright flowers and a mixture of greens.

Rainforests are wonderful places. Weather in a tropical rainforest like those in South America or those right here on the Olympic Peninsula, you can move through the trees that go on for miles and see so many different things. However, in South America especially, these trees that are being cut down and either used or burned. Some people even burn the trees for farmland without even using them! Millions upon millions of trees so big that it took over 20 men linking arms to wrap around them used to cover Washington. Now, all of these are gone, and more may soon . -Ryan Robarts

Only patches of sunlight reach through the upper layers to the understory, or mid-zone. Shrubs and small trees grow in this shady, damp layer. Jaguars, leopards, insects Color the plants green and brown and darken the spaces between.

The rainforest is a beautiful place with many beautiful creatures and features. There are all sorts of animals that you can find that you will not find anywhere else. Washington is home to the second largest rainforest in the work next to the Amazon these are amazing places with unique characteristics. In the Amazon there are different tribes of people that live there, and survive off of different plants in the forest. There are animals such as jaguars and certain types of rare snakes that live in these forests. I have never been to a rainforest before but I do know a lot about them, and would love to go to one someday. -Julian Curz

The rainforest floor is very dark and damp. Only 2% of all sunlight can reach here because of the plants above. The temperature stays around 80° F all year. Giant anteaters, sloths Color the plants dark green and spaces between very dark.

Make a circle graph to illustrate each fact. Look closely. Hidden in this rainforest is a shoe, a pencil, a cup, eyeglasses, a watch and a golf club.

6% of the planet is covered in rainforests.

50% of Earth’s plant and animal species live in rainforests.

2% of all sunlight reaches the rainforest floor.

March 17 at MarysvillePilchuck High School in Marysville. After a written round and four oral rounds, Sequim’s team advanced to finals as the first wild card entry, based on the morning scores. Nine teams went on to play two rounds in finals in the afternoon. Teams were divided into three arenas for competition. Depending on how the team placed in the first round determined where each team went next. First-place winners from three arenas went to play for first, second and third place. Second-place winners played for fourth, fifth and sixth, and third-place winners (including Sequim) played for seventh, eighth and ninth place. Competition was tough from the very beginning, as in the first round Sequim was paired against Pullman, last year’s first-place winner, and for the next round, Anacortes, last year’s secondplace winner. Sequim’s team was James ROOT Root, Trevor Consoliver, Patrick Carpenter, Brendan Carpenter, Lorenzo Gonzalez and Zach Hovis. — Linda Crowley, teacher and Knowledge Bowl advisor

As many as 30 million kinds of plants and animals live in the rainforest. The trees and other plants that make up the rainforest grow together so densely that they create layers, each with different climate characteristics. Read about the layers. Then follow the directions to color the rainforest picture.

Rainforests are one of the most marvelous places on Earth. Even though they are one of the largest pieces of forest around the world, they are slowly disappearing. Rainforests receive 68-78 inches of rainfall annually (which is why the trees grow so tall). Rainforests are also the provider of most of the world’s medicine that is derived from trees and other plants of use. Rainforests are also responsible for 28% of the world’s oxygen turnover (conversion from carbon dioxide into oxygen). Since the rainforests are being destroyed, thousands of unknown species may be at risk. The rainforests need to stay. -Logan Habner

If I was a ranger for the forests of the world I would be devastated. Almost every 2 seconds 100 yards of trees get cut down. That is too much; we should lower this to at lest a third of this. This would keep peoples jobs but we also need trees. Without trees we couldn’t have workers to chop them down. Or maybe we could plant one tree each and this would just give us more trees and oxygen. This would help our world out a lot. -Even Hurn

peted for local, regional and national student and school awards. The contest, which covers high school mathematics, is given in participating schools. Its purpose is to spur interest in mathematics and develop talent through the excitement of friendly competition at problem solving in a timed format. This year, the top scorer for the AMC-10 was sophomore Angela Bentley, with a score of 78. Second place went to freshman Emanuel Willis, scoring 73.5. Freshman Katherine Landoni took third place, earning a score of 72. For the AMC-12, junior Derek Chamblin was the top scorer this year, with a score of 79.5. Second place went to junior Tristan TADINA Tosland, with a score of 69. In third place was junior Robert Tadina, with a score of 64.5.

Being a rain forest reporter is a tuff job but very fun. I’ve been to a lot of rain forests. Its mostly my whole job. I go to a rain forest and check the temperature, and the environment. Its tuff because I have to be ready to hop in the car and go to where ever I need to go right away. I can’t wait ten minutes I got to go then and now. When I get to a rain forest I walk around and see if there is any new species. Or plants. Or if the weather climate has changed. -Katelyn Small Every 3 seconds roughly a football fields worth of rainforest is cut down. That statistic is the reason I am here, reporting on the conditions in the rainforest. Going to the edges of the forest I see a large overall animal population increase. This is due to the major amount of rainforest being cut down forcing animals to relocate. And every day more and more rainforest is cut down. I am afraid that this may contribute to the extinction of some rainforest species. Somehow we should try to find a way to stop rainforests from being cut down so rapidly so that we can maybe save some creatures life. -Gus Farnell The rainforests in the world are a very important part to the ecosystem. Rainforest have a lot of different species. In many parts of the world forests get cut down for lumber yards. Did you know every two seconds a football field length of rainforest gets cut down. Being a reporter is a very social job for example to get the news from people on the scene you have to talk to them. You also have to give your own opinion on certain subjects. Whether it’s saying it’s good to cut down trees or it’s bad. -Cameron Chase The rainforest is a place of mystical beauty, there is wild life around every corner. There have been many laws and regulations put into place to protect these magical places. But in my opinion we need to do more, a recent study had shown that on average around the world a football field of land is being clear cut every two seconds! I think that the government should do more to help foreign countries to protect their forests. I would hate to live in a world that has no rainforest; I would love to take my children to the rainforests here on the Olympic Peninsula just as my father took me. -Ian Dennis This is Cody Taylor reporting from a logging site in the rain forest. This is a sad site, hundreds of thousands of trees are being cut every year in the beautiful places. Almost one eighth of all forest land have been logged and more are still being logged dispite all the efforts by protestors. Not only are loggers killing trees they are also killing animals and the habitat. Reporting from the rain forest, this is Cody Taylor Sequim News. -Cody Taylor

Before your child enters kindergarten, she probably will know a great deal about math. She probably can count to 10 or 20 and even identify shapes such as circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, cubes and even pyramids. She probably will know about ARENTING pennies, nickels, dimes ATTERS and quarters. Even concepts such as long, short, Cynthia Martin tall, light, heavy, more, less, wide and narrow probably are familiar to many children before they enter kindergarten. Even talking about inside and outside, left, right, middle, above, below and top and bottom will come up as you raise your preschooler. You probably will talk with her about same and different and help her learn about groups such as groups by color. Make sure you talk about these things. They don’t have to be lessons — they are just part of the conversation you have with your child. When you ask her to give you the toy on the left, this is math. When you ask her if the big box holds more toys or the little boy’s holds more, this is math. Certainly when you give her some money to buy something she is learning about the value of pennies, nickels and dimes. When you ask her to put the cereal away on the top shelf or the bottom shelf, she is learning these mathematical terms. You probably didn’t know you were such a good math teacher.

Broad benefits Actually the conversations you have with your child make her smarter across the board. You certainly can see how much she can learn about math but also how she learns so many other things from you. She learns about the stars when you show her the beauty of the sky at night. She learns each time she asks you questions about what she is seeing in the world and you answer. She learns about plants as you show her the bulbs coming up in the spring and the plants beginning to break out in buds. She even learns new words each time you talk with her or read her a book. She learns more when you ask her questions about the book you are sharing together. She learns about manners as you correct what she does when Grandma gives her a present. These are all lessons that are just found in everyday activities; there are even more when you go to places like the Makah Cultural and Resource Museum in Neah Bay or the Feiro Marine Life Center in Port Angeles or the Northwest Raptor and Wildlife Center in Sequim. The children whose parents and grandparents and neighbors talk with her are giving her a great opportunity to learn more. Imagine how much more ready she will be for school than a child who doesn’t have that opportunity. When we talk about you being her First Teacher, we really mean it.

Poetry for the ages

Rise of the river, fall of the dams Sequim photographer compiles documentary by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

OFF THE SHELF SEQUIM LIBRARY

AT

Antonia Krupicka-Smith April is National Poetry month and your library is a great place to try poetry for the first time or continue to cultivate your love of verse. A wonderful book for young poets is the Newbery Award-winning “Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices,” by Paul Fleishman. This book is meant to be read together with a child. Each poem is broken into two alternating sets of verse and follows several insects through the seasons. A book for the teen poet would be “Poetry Speaks Who I Am: Poems of Discovery, Inspiration, Independence and Everything Else,” edited by Elise Pashcen. This is a collection of works by young adults across the nation. The poems in this book range from more traditional to very nontraditional styles. Pashcen’s book also includes a CD of the poets themselves reading their own work. Finally for adults I suggest reading some e.e. cummings, in particular his poem “I carry your heart with me.” This is a popular love poem that speaks to the deepness of true love. You can find e.e. cummings’ works at all NOLS libraries. During April the North Olympic Library System will host two major programs celebrating poetry. Sequim teens are encouraged to compete in the second annual PoetrySLAM at the Port Angeles Main Library at 6:30 p.m. F r i d a y, May 20. Te e n s may enter one of two categories: recitation or original poetry. The awards for best performers and best poems are a Nook Color, a Nook Touch and gift certificates to Port Angeles bookstores. Entries in the recitation portion of the contest must be memorized and teens will be judged on their ability to act out the poem. Poems entered in the original category may be read and will be judged on content. To enter, teens must perform at an elimination round at the Port Angeles Library that will be held on Saturday, April 14, at 2 p.m. Preregistration by April 10 is required for the elimination round. Students must provide

Sequim resident John Gussman’s two-plus years of effort to capture the Elwha River dams’ removal is beginning to take form in his documentary “Return of the River.” Gussman, a professional photographer, nears post-production stages of editing hours of film into a story on the Elwha and Glines Canyon dams. GUSSMAN He and producer, writer and editor Jessica Plumb of Port Townsend started a Kickstarter online campaign (see box) to fund finishing touches on the film. Gussman said the film will follow the dams’ history and step-by-step deconstruction, their effect on the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe citizens and the fish habitat traversing the Elwha River. PLUMB Plumb said in the process of researching the film, they’ve learned about the combined efforts of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe and a team of environmentalists who put the option

Gussman plans to incorporate much of his nature footage, too. In February 2010, Gussman said he got serious about photographing and taking video to document the dams’ removal and it was an opportunity he

Couple try new mystery route Second book in series expected early next year by ASHLEY MILLER for the Sequim Gazette

Husband and wife writing pair Charlotte and Aaron Elkins’ latest book, “A Dangerous Talent,” has all of the critical ingredients of a mystery novel: forgery, deceit and murder. The first installment of a new mystery series, “A Dangerous Talent” already has been praised as “witty, intelligent and delightful” by critics. From the outside, up-andcoming art consultant Alix London appears to have it all: a promising career, a luxurious condo in Seattle, a gorgeous figure and a presence that exudes Ivy League breeding and old money. Unfortunately, what you see isn’t always what you get. A brilliant, once-promising art student and the daughter of a prominent New York art conservator, her world was left in ruins when her father went to prison for art forgery. Now a Harvard dropout with an emptied bank account, London is languishing in a career that has produced little more than a lucky housesitting gig — until she meets Christine Lemay, a novice art collector with plenty of money to burn. When Lemay has a shot at acquiring a newly discovered painting by Geor-

gia O’Keefe, she needs somebody to authenticate it and contacts London. “A Dangerous Talent” released March 6 and sailed to the top as the No. 1 mystery on Kindle in the U.S. for about two or three days, competing with authors like James Patterson, Aaron Elkins said proudly. The 270-page book is the couple’s sixth published writing project together. “Writing a book together is no problem,” Aaron Elkins said. “Writing a book together and staying married is another story,” he joked. The couple have separate writing areas and take turns working on the manuscript. Charlotte Elkins, the more

“A Dangerous Talent” is the first book in a new series by Charlotte and Aaron Elkins about art consultant Alix London. Submitted photo

Husband and wife writing team Charlotte and Aaron Elkins celebrate the release of their sixth co-written novel, “A Dangerous Talent.” Submitted photo imaginative of the two, usually comes up with the initial story idea and writes the first scene or two of the rough draft. Then, she passes it on to her husband, who expands the storyline, polishes the descriptions and doubles the word count. When he’s finished, he gives it back to his wife, and so forth, until it’s completed. “We never sit down together at the kitchen table discussing the book or argue about it,” Aaron Elkins said. “This works for us.” Their first novel, “A Wicked Slice,” was published in 1989. Since then, they have co-written four novels starring a golf-pro-turned sleuth and several short stories, one of which won the Agatha Award for Best Short Story of the Year. The couple celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary in December. Independently, Charlotte Elkins wrote her first novel while working at the M.H. de Young Museum in San Fran-

cisco. Published under the pseudonym Emily Spenser, it was the first of her five romance novels that have sold in 20 countries. When she realized how much fun it was to collaborate with her husband, she eagerly switched to writing mysteries instead of romances. Conducting the research is, perhaps, her favorite part in the process of writing a book, Charlotte Elkins said. “When I get interested in a subject I absolutely lose myself in the research,” she said. “I don’t always know what I will use (from what I learn) and sometimes it’s only about 10 percent but even if I only need 500 words on a subject I’ll read five or six books about it.” Research, she insisted, adds texture to the story and scenes that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. While Aaron Elkins often assists his wife in the research, he prefers planning the plot, aiding in writing

and polishing the words using the thesaurus. Aaron Elkins’ novels have been published in 13 languages and made into a television series. He is the author of 16 novels featuring forensic anthropologist Gideon Oliver and of three mysteries featuring art museum curator Chris Norgren. He won an Edgar Award and a Nero Wolfe Award. The 17th and final book in the Gideon Oliver series comes out in December. With the completion of “A Dangerous Talent,” the Elkinses are taking a break from writing for a month. Afterward, they plan to get started on the second book in the Alix London series, for which they already have a contract. They expect it to be available about one year from now. The setting is on a megayacht and has to do with art, forgery and theft. “A Dangerous Talent” is available for sale at local book retailers and online.

ginia home, Mount Vernon. What better place for a West Coast mirror image of his estate since the 42nd entry to the union pays homage to this extraordinary statesman. And I must mention this: Make sure to see the portrait of Gen. Washington by Arnold Friberg. Washington kneels beside his beloved horse, Blueskin, its cold breath hanging in the frigid winter air. The “Prayer at Valley Forge” is a truly emotional scene to behold. The inn sits on the bluff overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Victoria, British Columbia. As the three-course tea was beginning, Mr. Washington arrived and addressed his guests. As if on cue, several bald eagles hovered over the cliff riding the air currents, appearing as if they were suspended in time. The president was extremely affable, taking time to sit at each table and answer a plethora of questions. I learned a lot. Lining the long driveway approaching the inn are hundreds of lavender bushes. And from those lavender bushes innkeeper Janet grinds this favorite aromatic

plant of Mrs. Washington to enhance her many recipes served to her B&B guests. A bed and breakfast isn’t set up for large crowds. While under normal circumstances, Janet would prepare a meal at the B&B with her own talented hands, for such a special event she called in some help; Cameron’s Custom Catering worked under Janet’s close supervision. Although this tea featured items you would enjoy as a guest of the inn, it also included typical tea fare. For our first course, there was Black Forest ham and lavender cheddar scones, and dried cherry, orange and fresh lavender biscuits served with assorted flavored butters and jams. Guests at the inn will revel in the repertoire of Janet’s homemade jams. And while I’ve never been a fan of scones (usually taste bitter to me), these scones were sweet and flaky and the flavored butter really set them off. For our second course we were treated to petite spinach and Swiss quiche, smoked salmon mousse-filled cucumber cups and lavender cream cheese and turkey finger sandwiches. The bread looked a lot like pumpernickel but was delightfully soft and airy. And anyone who left a turkey finger sandwich uneaten ... well, it soon found a home in me! Ahhh and then came dessert! There were chocolatedipped strawberries, assorted petit fours and raspberry lemon lavender cheesecake, oh my! If you are lucky enough to

be a guest at the inn, you will savor sumptuous breakfasts. The menu changes every day but always includes house specialties. Those seated at the breakfast table will start out with a fruit dish such as hot apple soup with lavender. The main course often features a variation of their speciality dish, baked eggs. Some describe it almost like an omelette — but with a whole egg. To accompany the main attraction, there’s plenty of homemade bread, cinnamon rolls, biscuits and scones. For those who wish something lighter, granola and yogurt are offered along with juice and a very special “brand” of coffee. The inn is the home of George Washington Coffee, made from “only the finest Arabica coffee beans.” You probably don’t associate the first president with coffee, but at that time in our history, drinking coffee was nothing short of an act of patriotism by Americans protesting excessive taxes. And you don’t have to be a guest to take some home. Stay tuned. Soon the Sequim Lavender Weekend will be upon us and Janet is planning to have another tea. I’m planning to go again and look forward to sharing a unique afternoon with just me and the gals ... and, of course, Father George. Shelley Taylor and her husband relocated to the peninsula from California. By her own admission, Taylor likes to eat. Reach her at columnists@sequim gazette.com.

Today we’re going to veer off the restaurant path to a pleasant fork in the road. O u r f i r s t p re s i d e n t , George Washington, celebrated his 280th birthday on Feb. 22. To commemorate the day, a local bed and breakfast, the George Washington Inn, hosted a special event: a High Tea on the Piazza — with a personal appearance by Gen. George Washington himself to celebrate the occasion. This sure looked like a wonderful excuse to while away a beautiful (and as it turned out incredibly windy) afternoon. So I told a few girlfriends and we had a ball! The George Washington Inn has become a landmark bed and breakfast here. As you enter the foyer of the inn, above the stately winding staircase looms a larger-than-life portrait of the Washington family by Edward Savage. The original hangs in the National Gallery of Art. This reproduction, interestingly enough, takes artistic license and flips the image to put the spotlight on the president. But I see it as symbolic: The inn is a replica of our Founding Father’s Vir-

Keep safe and get a colonoscopy March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month so this month we are going to discuss how you can prepare yourself for a safe and thorough colonoscopy screening test, whether you have diabetes or not. I have first-hand knowledge both as a patient and a nurse who works at Sequim Same Day Surgery, where these procedures are routinely done by a physician. Let’s do a quick synopsis of what a colonoscopy is and how it can save your life. Colon cancer starts as a small growth or polyp in your large intestine or colon. When small polyps are removed, it can be done easily and safely but larger polyps may require surgery. Unfortunately, there are no symptoms to signal that you have polyps so a screening colonoscopy usually is done after the age of 50. The procedure involves having a doctor examine the interior of the colon with a lighted instrument so that any polyps can be seen, removed and sent for microscopic evaluation. Once the

DIABETES AND YOU Susan Sorensen polyps are removed, they cannot continue to grow but you may be placed on a schedule for close surveillance and have a repeat test sooner than someone who did not have polyps. So how does this relate to diabetes? Two days prior to having this exam, you drink a laxative to start the process to empty your colon. A polyp can be as small as the tip of a pen, so having a clean colon is essential. For those two days prior to your test, refraining from high fiber foods such as nuts, fruit skins and whole grains is required … all the foods that you have been told to eat for control of your diabetes and a healthy life! So what is left? Clear liquids the day before will

provide nutrition for the short term. Stay away from juices or gelatins that contain red dye since the residual dye can mimic the presence of blood in the colon. One half cup of apple juice or prepared gelatin provides about 15 grams of carbohydrate. Another clear liquid option that will replace both fluid and salt without glucose is clear broth. To control the glucose that you are consuming, mix equal parts water and juice to provide both hydration and energy. More frequent blood glucose testing may be needed to ensure that you are consuming adequate carbohydrates. During the clear liquid phase and immediately after the procedure, you may experience changes to your blood glucose reading but they will resume to your pre-procedure levels once you resume your normal diet. Check with your primary care provider for instructions on what to do about your diabetes medicines the day of your procedure. Some heart and blood pressure medicines need to be taken with a small sip of water while blood-thinning medication must be stopped for

a few days prior to the exam. For your health and safety, follow the medication instructions from your provider! Your compliance in these guidelines will enhance a successful colonoscopy. Since March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, you can find more information about the how to prevent colon cancer and what you can do to decrease your risk of developing colon cancer at the www.fightcolorectalcancer.org. Diabetes is not an adequate reason to delay having this possibly life-saving procedure. NOTE: The annual Diabetes Expo is from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, April 21, at the Convention Center in Seattle.

From lawn to vegetable garden: This is the year! You have decided to develop a home garden this year, but the site you selected, which is sunny and well-drained, is covered with grass and landscape plants. It is March, so it is time to get to work! First, protect the soil at your soon-to-be garden site from excessive rain by placing large pieces of heavy cardboard directly on top of the ground; this will help dry the soil. Working the soil when the ground is too wet compacts it — not good for the plants. If you start digging and soil sticks to the shovel

or the shoveled surface of the soil is wet and shiny, it is too wet to work. When the soil is moist but not soggy, remove the grass and landscape plants. To remove the grass, slide a spade or fork under it at a depth of about 2 inches and roll it back. The removed sod can be planted in another lawn area. If the landscape plants are worth saving, shovel around each, encompassing sufficient roots and soil to protect the roots. Hold plants in pots awaiting transplant or immediately replant them into appropriately sized holes. Spade or rototill the entire garden site. Dig down at least 12-18 inches for first-time beds. As you turn the soil, remove rocks and roots. Test the soil to determine whether amendments are desirable. Into a clean bucket, place one-half cup of soil from every 24 square inches of garden space. Mix the samples together by stirring; remove pebbles and other extraneous material. Take 3 cups of the mixture in a plas-

GET IT GROWING Judy English tic or paper bag to the Clallam Conservation District in Port Angeles to be tested. See www.clallamcd.org/soiltesting for details. The cost is $20 and is worth your time and money. The soil test report will identify the nutrients that need to be added to your garden site. Apply the amounts indicated in the report, following the directions on the fertilizer containers. Spade or rototill the nutrients into the soil. As you await the results of the soil test, plan what you will plant in your garden as well as how much and where. Put your plans on paper. Focus on vegetables your family likes and that grow well

in our climate. Consider how much your family will eat and how much you intend to share, can, freeze or dry. Arrange your garden by growing period and by plant height. Spring crops should be grouped together so you can plant later-producing vegetables after the spring vegetables have been harvested. Shorter plants should be planted on the south side of tall or trellised plants to avoid shading the shorter plants. Water requirements and methods of irrigation also should be established in the planning stage. Avoid overhead watering. Drip watering is the most effective because it soaks in slowly without causing a hard surface on the soil. After planting, mulch between rows to preserve moisture and protect vegetables from resting on the moist soil. Mulching also is a good deterrent to weeds and will save time for other gardening tasks. Judy English is a certified WSU Clallam County Master Gardener.

From page C-1 couldn’t miss “I’ve always liked taking pictures up in the Elwha Valley,” he said. “I wouldn’t be doing this without my love for the Elwha Valley.” He met Plumb in October 2011, shortly after the Sept. 17 ceremony celebrating the start of the threeyear project to bring down the dams. Plumb, who owns a video production company, said this is her most ambitious project yet. “What makes it unparalleled is the amount of footage (Gussman has) on this topic,” she said. Gussman said he knew he’d go the documentary route with his coverage. “While other people are doing films, I’m living this. I have been living this almost every day for the last two years,” he said. “I’m driven by pure passion.” His efforts have resulted in driving more than 7,500 miles and snapping on average 13 gigabytes of film an hour over two years of working. The duo hopes to complete the documentary by the end of 2012. Gussman plans to continue shooting into 2014 when the removal project scheduled for completion. He isn’t sure when recent filming will stop being added to the film. Plumb said they are

Fundraising the documentary Their Kickstarter online campaign ends Saturday, March 31. At the time of print, Gussman and Plumb were nearing their $10,000 goal. D i f f e re n t d o n at i o n amounts allow for items such as a DVD copy of the finished film and/or a photographic print from Gussman. These remain available even if the goal is reached before the deadline. If the Kickstarter campaign doesn’t meet its goal, then no money changes hands. “The campaign really raised people’s interest of this project and John’s efforts,” Plumb said. “It’s amazing to see the confidence people have in this.” Following the end of the Kickstarter campaign, they are continuing support through the Northwest Film Forum, a nonprofit sponsor, where donations are tax refundable.

Martha is a serene and accepting 10-year-old cat. She talks softly to the volunteers who regularly visit her. She thrives on attention and give back lots of love and purrs, without being demanding. Priscilla and her sister Pippin are a truly bonded pair of two+ year olds who rely on each other for everything and must be adopted together. They never overcame the fear of the dog in their adoptive household. Pippin has more orange in her face, while Priscilla is the darker of the two. Adopting both together means ‘double the pleasure, and half the work’, as they will be self-entertaining. Alester is an active 14 year old who came to us when his owner passed away. Alester absolutely loves human interaction such as brushing and petting. He is FIV positive, so can only be adopted as an only cat or into a home with other FIV positive cats. Bonnie and her sister Connie are very strikingly attractive 2-year-old calico-torties. She and Connie are an inseparable pair and share the ‘tortie attitude’ that request that there be no other cats to compete for your affection. Connie has more orange on her face than her sister Bonnie. These two sisters get along surprisingly well and will be delighted to share the same forever home. They must be adopted together as a ready-made feline family.

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.

TILLY

SASHA

MOLLY

Tilly is just 2 years old and a sweetheart! She loves to cuddle and has so much love to give. She is part Border Collie and needs room to run so a large fenced yard is an absolute necessity. Tilly gets along with cats, but would do best as an only dog in a rural setting with someone who is dog savvy and just wants a loyal, loving buddy. For more information or an adoption application contact Paula @ 360-452-8192 or pcreasey@q.com.

Molly is an 8-year-old lab mix who has been an outside dog all of her life. She would love to find a family that will allow her to be inside with them, especially on these cold nights. She is good with kids and other dogs. Most outside only adult dogs respond quickly to house training and WAG will provide educational support if needed. A secure fence is required to keep her safe. For more information, please email Paula at pcreasey@q.com or leave a msg at 360-452-8192.

Sasha is an adorable Chihuahua/Pug mix who lives to be loved. She’s an elderly little dog /slightly overweight but she plays hard and with lots of walks and exercise, she will trim down and give her new owner(s) lots of love for many years. She gets along great with other dogs but will be happy as an only dog with someone who needs a constant companion. For information on how to adopt Sasha, call Sharon at (360) 582-0725 or e-mail me at rebel114@olypen.com.
