Sheriff disputes Clallam jail rape allegations

Bureau of Justice Statistics report center of controversy by AMANDA WINTERS Sequim Gazette

While Clallam County Sheriff Bill Benedict vehemently denies allegations from a Bureau of Justice Statistics report that inmates are sexually victimized in the Clallam County jail, the report’s author stands by his results. The study, “Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates,” ranks Clallam County third out of 286 jails for inmate-reported staff sexual misconduct. The study examined anonymous surveys taken by 75 inmates over a period of four days in March 2009. The survey was developed by RTI International, a private research corporation, jail and prison administrators and the BENEDICT BJS. The survey is required yearly as part of the Prison Rape Elimination Act and the three highest-ranked facilities will be asked to appear before the prison rape review panel in Washington, D.C.

Bad data? Benedict said he was briefed on the study in August and thought it was flawed. After an article on the study ran in the Sequim Gazette on Sept. 8, Benedict asked the FBI to investigate the claims. Benedict takes issue with the anonymity guaranteed to

County considers furloughing workers Commissioners face $2.7 million budget gap by AMANDA WINTERS Sequim Gazette

Clallam County could impose two furlough days a month on county employees to avoid layoffs and cope with unforeseen budget woes. Two new rules impacting the county’s revenue and expenses took what was a balanced budget and created a problem, Clallam County Commissioner Mike Chapman said.

The first is a change in state law requiring government employers to contribute more to the state retirement fund. Beginning next July, the county’s contributions will rise from 5.3 percent to 8.7 percent of salaries. It will rise again the CHAPMAN following year, costing the county about $700,000 each year, Clallam County Administrator Jim Jones said. The second change is a

Tsunami warning tests today A tsunami warning communications test for the All Hazard Alert Broadcast sirens will take place at 10:15 a.m. today, Wednesday, Sept. 15, according to Clallam County Sheriff Bill Benedict. The test will be conducted in 40 coastal locations in Clallam, Jefferson, Grays Harbor and Pacific counties. The tsunami warning sirens play a 30-second wail sound rather than the chimes normally used. The routine monthly test uses the chime tone for just 10 seconds. Clallam County Emergency Management officials are encouraging individuals, families, local businesses and public facilities to use the 30-second siren test as a reminder to look around their surroundings and assess what possibly could cause injuries or damage if the ground were to shake for half a minute. It is also an opportunity to review emergency plans for a disaster and to make sure you have what you need to survive the first 72 hours of any natural or man-made emergency. Preparedness information and materials are available by contacting Clallam County Emergency Management at 417-2525.

Applicants sought for Sequim Speaks

Richard Gray, center, is the local organizer of Clallam County Move On. He and other members want Rep. Norm Dicks to sign their pledge to overturn the Citizens United suit, which allows businesses unlimited funding for political advertisements.

Move On rallies for Rep. Dicks to sign pledge Group wants to overturn unlimited corporate ads spending by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Members of Clallam County Move On, a political advocacy group, rallied on Wednesday, Sept. 8, at the corners of Sequim Avenue and Washington Street for Rep. Norm Dicks to sign their pledge stopping corporate personhood. It supports: • Overturning the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision for Citizens United, which allows corporations to pay for political advertisements with no spending limit • Signing the Fair Elections Now Act • Reform for lobbyists so that there is a five-year gap between being a regulator and a lobbyist

Richard Gray, organizer for the group, said they reached out to Dicks earlier in the summer about the petition but did not receive a response. They rallied Aug. 10 in front of Dicks’ Port Angeles office. “Most of us are Democrats and Green Party members and will vote for him, but we want him to be a progressive Democrat,” Gray said. “We want strong Democrats to keep this country progressive.” George Behan, a spokesman for Dicks, said the congressman didn’t sign the pledge because amending a Supreme Court decision is a high bar to go over. Dicks is supporting the Disclose Act that dramatically increases transparency of corporate spending, Behan said.

“It passed in June in the House and is pending in the Senate,” Behan said. “We hope we can pass it in the Senate in the next few weeks. It’s a more effective and immediate way to respond.” Gray said they received a letter from Dicks within 10 minutes that was a generic response saying he’d take note of their opinions. “When you make a strong appeal to a congressman, you expect more than a boilerplate letter,” Gray said. Dicks’ response led Gray and Clallam County Move On members to no longer encourage Dicks on the matter. For more information on Move On, visit www.moveon. org. To contact Dicks’ Port Angeles office, call 452-3370 from 9 a.m.-noon Tuesdays or 1-4 p.m. Thursdays.

Funding for Carlsborg’s sewer project one step closer on the preliminary draft list for funding from the Public Works Trust Fund, said Carol Creasey, Clallam County senior planner. “We asked for $10 million and they (the Public Works CREASEY board) continued that on, so the Public Works Trust feels we need $10 million,” she said. The list will go before state legislators and the governor for final approval, she said. The $10 million would be in the form of a 0.5-percent interest loan with a five-year deferment and 30 years to pay it off, she said. A total of 74 projects made the list, she said. The fund has $390 million available but it is up to the governor and legislators to determine how much is doled out, she said.

The funding process for a proposed sewer system in Carlsborg is moving forward after two key developments at the end of August. The Clallam County Public Utilities District board of commissioners approved a facilities plan for the Carlsborg Sewer Project on Aug. 30 and will pass it on to the Department of Ecology for approval. “The facilities plan is a requirement,” Commissioner Wi l l P u r s e r said. “(It is) one of the incremental steps we need to PURSER take to apply for funding. Our goal is to finance most of this project with grants to lessen the impact on customers and lower their assessments.” The facilities plan is by no means final approval of the project, he said. The project also made it

Proposed LUD

The Carlsborg Community Advisory Committee hosts a Carlsborg Urban Growth Area visioning workshop at 6 p.m. on Sept. 27 at the PUD Facility at 110 Idea Place, Carlsborg. The purpose of the workshop is to develop and share people’s ideas and thoughts on a sustainable Carlsborg with other community members and government agencies. “The workshop is a hands-on visualization process supported by a commercial artist,” Clallam County Senior Planner Carol Creasey said. “After the workshop, the artist will provide community composite renderings of the integrated visions.” Space is limited to 25 so registration is required. To reserve space call Creasey at 417-2423.

The PUD received $2,068,000 from the State Public Works board to fund the Fairview Water Project. There are 1,524 water customers in the Fairview water system, which includes the Agnew, Deer Park and O’Brien areas. Customers get water from a treatment plant on Morse Creek and a well near The Bluffs. The Fairview Water Project will provide a reliable backup water source to support the upper Fairview area and address seasonal water shortages, said Michael Howe, PUD executive communications coordinator.

connecting to Sequim was one of the main options, he said. With the expansion of Sequim’s treatment plant and the city’s interest in offering the service to outlying areas, it could be more feasible now than it was before, Purser said. “ We ’ l l f a c t o r i n t h e Sequim alternative if that looks attractive,” he said.

can move forward, Carlsborg residents must petition to form a Local Utility District. “At some point we need to see a petition from the citizens out there to see if they want the sewer system, then we’ll go from there,” Purser said. Many Carlsborg residents have expressed concerns over how much it would cost them for the system. Purser said with the limited funding already in place the assessment

to property owners wouldn’t look attractive to him if he were one. The Sequim School District board, which has Greywolf Elementary School in Carlsborg, listened BENTLEY to project officials talk about the proposed sewer system at a Sept. 13 board meeting. “The board has not taken

any position regarding the project at this point because up until now it has been more conversation than anything else,” Sequim School District Superintendent Bill Bentley said. The school was built in 1991 and has not had any septic problems that he is aware of, he said. Reach Amanda Winters at awinters@sequim gazette.com.

Get happy, get healthy by MARK COUHIG Sequim Gazette

Support a good cause and get healthy by participating in the seventh annual Fun Walk to benefit the Dungeness Valley Health and Wellness Clinic. Registration for the walk begins at 8:30 a.m. the day of the event, Saturday, Sept. 18. The walk starts and ends at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 Blake Ave. (Note: This is a change from previous years when the walk began and ended at the Guy Cole

Convention Center in Carrie Blake Park.) Kristen LaMoure from the Sequim Gym provides a warm-up Zumba (a Latinflavored dance) class, while Laughter Yoga sponsors an after-walk stretch. Closing ceremonies are at 11 a.m. In addition to an easy onemile walk and a tougher fivemile hike, this year’s event promises lots of fun — and more ways to improve your health. A health fair held in association with the Fun Walk provides a half-dozen health screening opportunities. Crews from the various service groups of Olympic Medi-

cal Center will be on hand to provide blood pressure checks, pulmonary screening (lung capacity), medication reconciliation and blood glucose and diabetic risk assessments. You also can participate in a “balance check.” Re presentatives from Planned Parenthood will be on hand to provide information on colon health. The health screenings are free to registered walkers. Those who would like to participate in the health fair but are not walking can pay $10 to take advantage of the offerings. The entertainment lineup for the day includes Sequimarimba and a singing

center. She said he developed a cancer center in Sequim, negotiated a partnership with the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and led the recruitment of 25 new physicians to the community. “Under Mike’s leadership, Olympic Medical Center garnered numerous awards for high quality, compassionate

care,” she wrote. Glenn spent the past two years as a senior vice president of business development and product line management at Valley Medical Center, a 303-bed public hospital in Renton where he has been developing alliances with physician groups. He also has been on a leadership team at Providence St.

Peter Hospital in Olympia. Glenn was born in Olympia and earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from Linfield College in McMinnville, Ore., and a master’s degree in health administration from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. All five top candidates were critiqued by commissioners in six areas — their understanding of rural hospitals, physician relations, experience with improving market share, financial knowledge of critical-access hospitals, experience working with public boards and management style. Glenn will earn a base salary of $225,000 a year as the new superintendent CEO of Jefferson Healthcare, a $65 million-a-year entity. The six-digit salary, approved Sept. 2 by Jefferson Healthcare commissioners, makes him that county’s highest paid public administrator.

lion budget gap without laying off staff, Jones proposed implementing two furlough days a month for county staff. Without the furloughs, which represent a 9-percent cut in pay, up JONES to 64 full-time positions would need to be cut to achieve the same savings, he said. Salaries make up the largest portion of the county’s budget, but many of the largest salaries, including judges and the prosecutor, are set by

state law and can’t be changed by the county, he said. Even though staf f is stretched thin, the county can’t continue to support the payroll as it is now, he said. Jones said the county doesn’t have much control over revenue, with caps on property tax increases and ever-declining sales tax revenue. Chapman said he thinks it is important people know the board hasn’t gone to the public asking for tax increases to deal with budget woes. The problems with this year’s budget were due to

unforeseen changes and the county is trying to adapt to it, he said. The county could draw $940,000 from its reserves to be used to balance the budget, leaving $8.5 million in the reserve fund, Jones said. As the budget process continues, county officials will have to meet with union bargaining units to discuss the furloughs, he said. To see the preliminary county budget, go to www. clallam.net. Reach Amanda Winters at awinters@sequimgazette. com.

Glenn From page A-1 executive sessions at SeaTac Airport. “While all were impressive and viable, the commissioners feel Mike is clearly the best qualified for the CEO position and an excellent fit for our community,” Chief Governance Officer Jill Buhler said. Glenn emerged from candidates that Buhler acknowledged came from as far away as New York. The hospital hired an executive search firm from San Francisco for a minimum of $80,000 to help find a replacement for retiring CEO Vic Dirksen, who has steered the hospital for 33 years.

Glenn’s experience In a press release, Buhler said Glenn served as CEO of Olympic Medical Center from 1999-2006 and that under his direction the center developed into a thriving medical

Budget From page A-1 new rule requiring banks that accept public deposits keep all of the deposit instead of 10 percent collateral, which means the county won’t get the annual interest of $2 million it normally receives when the banks loan its money out, Jones said. “We thought for 2011 we’d have a balanced budget and, if you look at the numbers, we would’ve been spot on,” Chapman said. To cope with the $2.7 mil-

Jail From page A-1 survey-takers and said just a handful of inmates wanting to cause trouble could have skewed the data. Benedict said he received an e-mail from a woman claiming inmates conspired to give bad data. In the e-mail Elizabeth Stallings, who was in jail at the time on possession of methamphetamine and theft charges, said some of the women inmates were laughing about giving the “worst possible untruthful answers.” Benedict said Stallings identified three women who allegedly gave false reports. He does not plan on interviewing the women because he knows such false reports would be consistent with their reputations, he said. To read the e-mail and a full response from Benedict, go to www.sequimgazette. com. But BJS statistician Allen Beck said while it is possible some of the allegations were untrue, conspiring to give bad data to skew the results would have been very difficult to do.

Survey methods Beck said to ensure both jail and survey staff didn’t know which inmates reported sexual abuse, two different surveys were administered. One was on sexual abuse within the jail and the second, which was administered to 5 percent of the responding inmates, was on substance abuse and treatment, he said. The surveys, which were timed for 30 minutes, were conducted on touchscreen computers with audio prompts for inmates with low literacy, he said. Not only were the surveys randomized but also the questions, so inmates didn’t know what would be asked next, he said. Beck’s team looked for inconsistencies such as extreme responses, surveys that were completed too quickly or surveys that weren’t completed at all, he said. Inconsistent surveys were thrown out, but they found the surveys to be very

consistent overall, he said. “That’s an indication that these interviews have at least some internal validity,” he said. “It’s very difficult to make up these surveys wholesale in 30 minutes not knowing what questions are coming forward. Beck said if inmates were conspiring to give false reports, he would expect to see an increase in reports of abuse as the days went on and word got out about what was contained in the survey. “There was not (an increase as time went on),” he said. “You’d think they would need to take some time to construct such a conspiracy.” Anonymity in the survey is necessary so inmates don’t fear they will be labeled a snitch or face retaliation by their abuser, he said. “You don’t have to argue that all these allegations are true for these results to be credible,” he said in response to Benedict. “I encourage jail administrators to be reflective and take that into account.”

‘It doesn’t happen here’ Benedict said the jail is not turning a blind eye to the issue of sexual victimization, but the claims of the study simply are not true. “It may happen somewhere else but it doesn’t happen here,” he said. Benedict said every inmate complaint is taken seriously and investigated. He recalled three complaints in the past 15 years. One led to the 1997 conviction of a jail guard for exchanging drugs for sex, the second led to the firing of a noncommissioned staff member and the third was unsubstantiated, he said. Benedict said he would like the FBI to investigate but since no victims have come forward there isn’t much they can do. He asked that anyone who was ever an inmate and feels he or she was sexually assaulted in the jail call the FBI at 360-394-8188. “We’re going to get to the bottom of it and demand they remove Clallam County from it (the study) because those are bogus claims,” he said.

Home/garden decor biz shapes up Avid gardener finds fulfillment in making, selling topiaries by ASHLEY MILLER for the Sequim Gazette

Wearing light makeup, sparkling earrings and matching peach-colored shirt, clogs and apron, Donna Marie Tetiva looks like she walked out of an L.L. Bean magazine ad. An ele g ant watch is wrapped around her dainty wrist and her hair is pulled back in an almost perfect bun. Upon closer examination, however, it’s obvious that Tetiva — known by her friends and family as “Teva” — isn’t as prim and proper as she looks. In fact, she has moss in her hair. That’s right, moss. Four years ago, Teva started experimenting with topiaries. Topiary is a word to describe plants that are trained into different shapes. From a simple hedge to a detailed animal or human figure, Teva creates custom work using sturdy frames stuffed with sphagnum moss, wrapped a second time with sphagnum moss or treated “green” moss and held together with fish line. With training, shearing and proper care, the topiary becomes “alive.” This year, Teva started selling her “pets” at farmers’

Plants can be inserted and trained to grow inside the frame. Ivy is the most common plant used. Self-contained, moss-filled topiaries should be kept moist at all times, especially during the dry months of the year.

Think of the topiary as a planted hanging basket, Teva encouraged, and remember that moss, by nature, prefers shade or filtered shade as opposed to direct sunlight. Upon request, Teva can install an irrigation system into the stuffed frame that can be connected to a sprinkler and timer. This is recommended for larger, expensive frames that require more water.

Braving the cold During the winter months, topiaries do best if protected from wind and harsh weather. “We bring ours into the greenhouse or garage area,” Teva said.

“Just remember to keep your topiary moist through the winter.” Topiaries make great interior decorations, too. “My idea is a classic look not a cluttered look,” she said. “It needs to look like it’s supposed to be there, like a focal point or a pleasant surprise.” A large dog could be positioned by the fireplace, patio or entryway, as if guarding the front door, or a frog or snail nestled in the grass by the pond or a fountain. A curious cat or squirrel could be perched upon a fence, perhaps

Many of the topiaries by Teva are created to scale, like this life-size schnauzer. Submitted photo

Topiaries From page A-7 hiding behind a bush. One of the things Teva enjoys most is helping people decide where to place their topiary. Frames can be illuminated or used as a centerpiece for weddings. Mother’s Day, holidays or other special occasions are popular times to use topiaries. “Let your imagination run wild or let us help you with the endless use of topiaries,” Teva said. “What could be more original or special than the gift of topiary?” Just this week, Teva received orders for two llamas, a Westie and a pug dog, two pilgrim shoes, and a cup and saucer. As the holidays draw near, Teva advises placing custom orders at least 30 days in advance. T h a n k s g iv i n g a n d Christmas favorites include wreathes, cones, towers and hearts. The most popular topiaries year-round are lifesize dogs. “I’ve done almost every kind of dog known to mankind,” she said with a lighthearted laugh. “People love their dogs.” Prices start at about $35 and increase with size and complexity.

No retirment in sight Teva and her husband,

Jerry Tetiva, moved to Sequim in 2004 after living in the San Francisco area for 30 years. Teva owned a dress boutique in Foster City, Calif., for a while then spent the rest of her working years as a mortgage broker. Jerry traveled the U.S. selling financial services for major banking institutions. Teva’s interest in roses and gardening led her to becoming a consulting rosarian. Her home is considered by many as a “spectacular” viewing garden. Topiaries seemed a natural step forward, Teva said, challenging her artistically to shape plants, wreathes, framed animals and most any other object a person might desire to display in their home or garden. “I hate the ‘R’ word,” Teva confessed. “Retirement,” she said, almost as if it’s a dirty word, “doesn’t do much for me and I never found satisfaction or fulfillment in knitting or crocheting or going to book club. “I needed something to fill a void for myself,” she said about her topiaries. “I didn’t know if they would be acce pted in Sequim or not but they have and I couldn’t be happier.” Visits to the greenhouse are by appointment. Individuals, families, garden groups, Master Gardeners and clubs all are welcome. For more information, call 360-808-1621.

Nikola Broadband is kicking it up a notch Wi-Max aims to be fast and reliable by MARK ST.J. COUHIG Sequim Gazette

Nikola Wireless, a division of Sequim’s Nikola Engineering, is continuing to roll out its new Wi-Max service, providing superior Internet connections to those from east Port Angeles to Sequim Bay. The new service improves on older technologies by offering higher speeds and a “business class quality of service,” said Nikola co-owner Robert Zeff. While many wireless Internet connections use a 2.4 gigahertz frequency to com-

municate, that area of the spectrum is crowded because it’s shared by Bluetooth equipment, baby monitors, cordless phones and more. Wi-Max uses a Federal Communications Commission-licensed portion of the spectrum. “The noise floor is lower,” Zeff said. He also notes Wi-Max was improved by “lots of testing,” ensuring it’s fast and reliable. With WiMax, Nikola provides speeds up to 6 mbps. The company now has 11 tower locations, with a total of 30 “access points.” Customers hook up to these access points via a small exterior antenna mounted on their home or business. While the service is available to virtually everyone within the Sequim city limits, Nikola’s Matthew Lawson says the first step is

to have Nikola techs do a test at your home or business to ensure you can receive and transmit signals to one of the access points. Nikola has the technology to pump the communications through foliage, but hills are a different challenge altogether. Lawson said the test is a free service. In addition to providing wireless connectivity, Nikola provides fiber connections in appropriate areas. Nikola Engineering also designs electronic equipment for car audio, wireless remote data collection, security and industrial control systems.

All sewage water in Sequim city limits goes to the Water Reclamation Facility. (1) The equalization basin puts oxygen in the water and buffers water flow during high use. It also feeds the biological treatment part of the facility. Al Chrisman, water reclamation facility chief operator, said, the aeration basin (2) is similar to a liquid compost pile where bacteria eat waste. After biological treatment, reused water goes through the clarifier. (3) Clear water is dropping into a cloth filter (4) before final disinfection by ultraviolet bulbs.

Sequim grant expands reclaimed water use New pond could help groundwater levels by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Re c l a i m e d w a t e r i n Sequim got an extra push with the recent completion of the city’s Water Reclamation Facility expansion. City officials led a ribbon cutting on the afternoon of Sept. 14 at the facility. Staff and contractors have worked about four years on design and implementation for the $11 million project that increases the facility’s water reuse processing from 800,000 gallons per day to 1,670,000 gallons. Anything in the city limits that comes down the sink, shower, toilet or drain ends up at the facility and is processed into reusable water. Reused water is used in city park irrigation, roadside landscaping, construction and augmenting Bell Creek.

City staff said the expansion would help streams’ and rivers’ water levels and protect shellfish beds in the Strait of Juan de Fuca by releasing less effluent or discharge. “This current expansion is the culmination of a forwardlooking community and the Sequim City Council,” said Paul Haines, public works director. “The sophistication of the treatment process not HAINES only builds on the 3,000 acres of shellfish grounds opened up with the Class A water treatment developed in the 1998 expansion, but also the wide use of the treated water for purposes that reduce demand on the Dungeness River flows needed for habitat. “The new plant capac-

Facts on Sequim’s Water Reclamation Facility • Puts 80 gallons a minute into Bell Creek • Four operators • Sits on 10 acres • First water reclamation facility to be accredited (1990) • Processes city’s wastewater that comes down the sink, shower and toilet Al Chrisman, water reclamation facility chief operator, said reuse water’s use is vast and can be used for anything except drinking and swimming. “We’re taking a polluted product and turning it into an ecologically friendly product,” Chrisman said. He believes despite the intense process and treatment, questions remain. “People just don’t think about where their water goes,” Chrisman said. He hopes people are assured by the water’s safety because the facility is monitored by two federal departments and the state and it’s the first lab in Washington to become accredited. Contact Sequim Public Works at 683-4908 with questions on water reclamation and reclaimed water eligibility. Reach Matthew Nash at mnash@sequimgazette.com.

ity will allow Sequim to grow with the certainty of preserving water resources and to work with other sewer agencies on regional needs.”

Tapping the ground The city’s next project is using a $1.1 million grant to find a new recharging location for reclaimed water at either the existing Water Reuse Demonstration Park or city shop site. Haines said recharge ponds reintroduce highly treated water into the groundwater like the Dungeness River and beneficial aquifers. The pond could help introduce water into the local aquifers year-round. Once a site is chosen, con-

struction of the pond is tentatively set for early 2011. So far the city has about four miles of piping running from the Water Reclamation Facility on Schmuck Road to Carrie Blake Park and the city’s shop. Three businesses utilize reused water for landscaping. The service is not available to residences due to the location and high cost of reused water pipes. Planning for future pipe routes and outreaching to potential users is a part of the city’s long-term plan. Pete Tjemsland, Sequim utilities manager, said piping expansion depends on grant funding availability, he said. “The hope is to have it

readily available for everyday uses,” Tjemsland said. “Our hope is to turn it into an income,” Haines said.

Progressive plant Sequim’s wastewater facility was one of five in Washington to pioneer the water reuse movement, which led to more than 30 statewide. The city upgraded in 1998 to a Class A facility. Reused watergoesthrough CHRISMAN several levels of disinfection that ends with ultraviolet lights that prevent parasites and diseases from reproducing.

St. Luke’s concert series opens Sept. 21

Music Live with Lunch Performers 2010-2011

by MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Sequim’s concert series Music Live with Lunch returns for a 17th season beginning Tuesday, Sept. 21, with an organ recital by Paul Roy. The St. Luke’s Episcopal Church event features a musical artist or group for half an hour with lunch afterward. “The format has worked out quite well,” said Carolyn Braun, co-organizer. “People always know it’s the third Tuesday.” ROY Concerts for the 2010-2011 season are Sept. 21, Oct. 19, Nov. 16, Jan. 19, Feb. 18, March 15, April 19 and May 17. Braun, and her husband, Ray, say they try to bring a good mix of music — country western to classical violists to young students.

Sign up in Sequim The “Discovery Memory Care Trailblazers” are eagerly anticipating the walk. The Discovery Trailblazers team has 16 members, and has raised $2,500, said Pam Scott, community relations director with Sequim’s Discovery Memory Care. “We have worked hard to get donations and have done a number of different fundraisers,” she said. “KWA HomeCare has stepped in as a gold sponsor and we are very thankful for their support. Rainshadow Coffee Roasting Company has stepped up as a sponsor.” To walk, contribute or both, call Pam Scott at 683-7047.

Ray and Carolyn Braun, organizers of Music Live with Lunch, enjoy the event each month. They took over a few years ago after founders Bill and Lou Yandell were unable to continue due to health issues. Sequim Gazette photo by Matthew Nash “We occasionally have teaching lectures from players where they explain the instrument they are playing,” Carolyn Braun said. The first concert player, Roy, is an expert organist from Bainbridge Island.

Co-founder honored The first concert of the season honors Dr. William “Bill” Yandell. He and his wife, Lou Yandell, started Music Live with Lunch in 1994 to support the traditional Boor’s Head and Yule Log Festival and Lessons in Carols at St. Luke’s

church. They led Music Live with Lunch for several years before they both were diagnosed with cancer, which took Bill’s life. “He was a wonderful person and did so much in the church,” Braun said. Yandell was an educator and a dean at the University of Cincinnati where he developed a course in speech confidence building. The couple moved to Sequim in September 1991 and quickly became involved in the church choir. Yandell also served as senior warden, and Lou as the choir director.

Braun said concert attendance ranges from 70-120 people, depending on how well known the artist/group might be. The programs don’t have an overt faith message. “If people see that this is a church interested in music and new things, then that could be an opening for them,” Braun said.

A new metropolitan parks & recreation district for Sequim?

OFF THE BEAT Robert L. Spinks Downsizing government is not just a political slogan often trumpeted by the energized Tea Party across the country. It is becoming a reality driven by declining tax revenues that is facing government at all levels. The sad reality is that holding the line on government spending does not mean keeping the status quo either; it means cutting services and jobs. If union contracts require cost of living and step raises, if medical insurance rates grow at double-digit rates as they may and if the cost of fuel, supplies and services rise faster than tax collections, then government will be forced to cut. At a recent noon Rotary Club meeting, Sequim City Manager Steve Burkett reported that initial estimates for the city’s 2011 budget forecast a $400,000 shortfall. At the Sequim City Council meeting on June 28, there was discussion on “evaluating options to improve parks and recreation services.” That discussion included expanding parks and recreation services and a status quo option, as well as expanding a city program that would entail adding staff and fees and competing for a larger portion of the general fund budget. A third option was to look at a citizen voted-in junior taxing district.

Core services If there is anything good about the current recession, it is the pressure it places on local government to redefine its role. Government trying to cut costs is somewhat of a foreign language because every program and every service has some type of constituent base. We all can debate what is or isn’t a “core service” of government. Police, fire, water and sewer — we probably could agree that those are core services. The finance folks at City Hall, just like in private business, are critical to make things run. The same with having a human resource manager, the computer guys and of course, a lawyer. A new taxing district or a new and expanded recreation department for Sequim? Pitting new costs against core services in a recession will provide a healthy discussion as the budget process is rolling at City Hall. Growing new programs and services in the current environment may be a task for a future time.

More guidance, less government We all want those great livability benefits that go along with parks and recreation programs, but maybe those services already exist in Sequim. There was a simpler time when these types of “non-core” community services were funded, built, staffed and maintained by civic groups, club, even businesses and churches. Maybe now is a good time for local government to be a better facilitator or broker among existing community players instead of trying to fund new services, new employees and more government. This also requires local government to play with and not dictate to its constituents, to reduce obstructions and to adopt a “can-do” attitude. Now “cando” may not mean funding, but it may mean facilitating bringing people, groups and organizations together to publicize

Wooden boat survives storm in Montana By MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

On Sept. 4, Olympic Peninsula Fly Fishers saw 800 hours of hard work pay off on the pristine Saturday morning at Lake Crescent. Club members gave a handmade 15-foot cedar boat to Project Healing Waters, a nonprofit organization providing fly-fishing instruction and opportunities for wounded military personnel and veterans. Chuck Tye, the Northwest regional coordinator of Project Healing Waters, told a crowd of family and volunteers that the boat is truly priceless. “It was probably a healing process for all of you,” Tye said. “Whether you know it or not, you’re helping with the healing process.” Tye was given the honor to be the first to take the boat on the water. The consensus among the volunteers was that the boat rides as good as it looks. “It really goes,” said Dean Childs, vice president of the club, when he took the second spin in the boat. Paul Huston, a U.S. Army soldier who served three tours in Iraq, worked six hours on the boat and found it beautiful sitting on the trailer. “But out on the water, it’s at a whole other level,” Huston said.

Smooth rowing “This has been a labor of love from all the people involved,” Tye said. “Everyone’s been super generous.” The boat was worked on for more than six months by 39 club volunteers, soldiers and wounded veterans in donated space first near Joyce, then in a Sequim garage. Club member and master boat-builder Bill Kindler served as the guide for the workers. Word-of-mouth spread fast and donations came in quickly including McClanahan Lumber giving the cedar; Ancient Auto Works, the clear coat; Greywolf Fly Fishing Club, the oars and boat cover; Stephany Andregg, labor for the cover; Stan Marquette, the boat’s trailer; and more. Teams worked up to four shifts of several hours a week on the boat. “Bill Kindler started a whole industry here,” Childs said. “Two other boats are being built now by club members.”

Stormy story The boat almost didn’t make the launch, no thanks to Mother Nature. Childs took the boat to the National Fly Fishing Fair and Conclave in West Yellowstone, Mont., the weekend of Aug. 27-29. Two hours before the event was over, a “microburst,” a localized meteorological event with strong winds, lifted the boat and trailer, slamming it onto the concrete. “It was very dramatic,” Childs said. The seats popped out, the hull was bruised in two o spots and the bow slightly separated. Club members feverishly repaired the boat thee week of the launch, Childs said. Tye intended to hold onto the boat for a few w years to promote Project Healing Waters beforee selling it as a fundraiser but he plans to keep itt now. “We can’t sell it, because she’s one of us now,”” Tye said. “It’s a fitting thing that a wounded boat will help p wounded veterans.” Recovering soldiers at Joint Base Lewis-Mc-Chord will use the boat to go fishing.

The Olympic Peninsula Fly Fishers’ wooden rowboat touches water for the first time on Saturday, Sept. 4, at Lake Crescent. Club members later donated the boat to Project Healing Waters to help wounded veterans use fishing as part of their recovery. Cliff Schleusner, club president, said they just completed “Project Purple Heart,” which brought 51 people together to help wounded veterans learn fly-casting and other fishing skills. Other club events promoting fly-fishing in 2011 include Kids Fest and Kids Derby in Port Angeles, an annual retreat at Pooh’s Pond and teaching a fishing class for Camp Fire USA. Donations for current rrent and future projectss can be made by call-ing Dean Childs at 683-4272.

Newcomers’ club takes all comers by MARK ST.J. COUHIG Sequim Gazette

The Newcomers’ Club is opening its membership roll to everyone who lives on the Northern Olympic Peninsula. Since its founding in the 1980s, the club always had restricted membership to

those who recently moved to the area. Now anyone can join, says president Heidi Hansen. Hansen said the club sometimes advertises to help expand the membership, but most new members are recruited by enthusiastic current members. The club was formed to

Elaine Churchill, membership chairman, and Heidi Hansen, president, share a laugh. The Newcomers’ Club serving the Northern Olympic Peninsula has opened its membership to everyone.

help introduce newcomers to the area, a job it accomplishes through a variety of fun means. Luncheon meetings, held the first Tuesday of every month, feature expert speakers on various topics including the local flora, the history of peninsula lighthouses and more. But most of the meetings are purely social, including a monthly coffee and a once-amonth get-together for appetizers. Regular “dinners for eight” also are held. New sub-groups spring up all the time and now include a book club, a chess club and the “Needlers and Hookers.” The bicycling club took a trip to Whidbey Island in early September. A gardening club is the latest topic of discussion. Fall events include a wine tasting at a local winery and a visit to the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center. The club also holds fundraisers, with the proceeds donated to local charities. The club encourages volunteerism. Members includes folks

from Joyce, Port Angeles, Sequim and points east, including Chimacum. Membership currently numbers 175. Annual dues are $20 for a single person and $30 for families. Jonda Rourke, a board member and the newsletter editor, moved to the peninsula in December 2008. She says the club was a great way to meet people. Elaine Churchill, the membership chairman, is another newcomer. She noted many of the club’s members have just retired to the peninsula. Their families are often elsewhere. “It was essential to me. I was going stir crazy. This is a great way to meet people — to meet friends.” For more information, contact Elaine Churchill, 360-808-7044, or elaine churchill@gmail.com.

Spinks From page A-15 recreational opportunities that we already have. With a new marketing and communications manager now on the city payroll, there’s a resource to centralize recreational news and announcements. Sequim already has the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center (SARC), which is actually Clallam County Park and Recreation District No. 1 and

was established in 1962. It is a junior taxing district, as defined by the state of Washington. Junior taxing districts receive no monies from the state, county or city but do have the power to levy an excess levy for operating funds or for capital outlay when approved by more than 60 percent of the voters. Since 2002, the district has been self-supporting, imposing no property taxes. Other resources currently include the school facilities, the existing city park

lands and some of the best recreation programming for youths is available through our local Boys & Girls Club. The Sequim Senior Activity Center is a busy and growing center of activity as well. Instead of a growing city department or a new layer of government taxing us all, we just need better communication and coordination to bring together what we already have. Add some help and support from the business community, clubs

and faith-based organizations and we might see real community ownership with common-sense and costefficient operations without rising costs that government can sometimes bring.

P.A. library hosts space exploration exhibit The North Olympic Library System’s Port Angeles Library presents an exhibit about the history of space exploration from Sept. 23-Dec. 2. “Visions of the Universe: Four Centuries of Discovery” uses drawings and diagrams made by Galileo and other early astronomers, along with contemporary images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and other space missions, to show how humans’ view and understanding of the universe and the objects within it have changed over the centuries. The traveling exhibit, which is visiting 55 public libraries throughout the nation, is part of a multi-year global celebration of astronomy and its contributions to society and culture, high-

lighted by the 400th anniversary, in 2009, of Galileo’s first astronomical observations with the telescope. In the U.S., the goal of this continuing celBARNES ebration is to offer an engaging astronomy experience to every person in the country. “Visions of the Universe” covers a wide range of topics related to the scientific exploration of the universe, from storms on the sun to features on the surfaces of Mars and the moon, the nature of comets, star birth and distant galaxies. The colorful exhibit panels feature images of planets, stars, comets, nebulae and galaxies taken by NASA’s astro-

nomical observatories and spacecraft, as well as drawings and diagrams created by early astronomers such as Galileo, Christiaan Huygens and Charles Messier, which show how the universe, stars and planets were viewed and understood centuries ago. “We are pleased that the Port Angeles Library was chosen as a site for this g roundbreaking exhibit covering four centuries of astronomy,” said NOLS director Paula Barnes. “Space exploration is a topic that fascinates everyone, regardless of their age. “The remarkable images in this exhibit show how far we have come in understanding the universe and our place in it. “We hope the whole com-

Regatta supports respite care Sequim Gazette staff

The 18th Reach for Hospice sailboat race on Sequim Bay raises funds for Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County. Captains and crews from Sequim Bay Yacht Club and Port Angeles Yacht Club will stage the regatta Saturday, Sept. 18. New this year to the racing and accompanying festivities is a fundraising dinner Thursday, Sept. 16, at C’est Si Bon restaurant in Port Angeles. Cost is $60 per person and is limited to the first 120 attendees. Those interested may participate by simple donation or by buying dinner tickets. Funds given to Volun-

teer Hospice are earmarked specifically for respite care, where a skilled nurse stays with a hospice patient to give family members time to take care of family and personal business. A total of $22,011 from more than 30 donors was collected in the 2009 “Reach”

campaign, providing about 1,500 hours of respite care, according to publicity chairman Susan Sorensen. In the past 17 years, the “Reach” race has provided more than $153,000. For more information, contact Ed English at 582-9916 or ejsailor@att.net.

LELAND WADE SMITH

took his last hike to the Lord Sept. 2, 2010 having lived just shy of 99 years. Leland was born January 12, 1912 in Fremont, NE to Grover and Margaret Smith. He grew up in Cedar Bluﬀs, NE, attended the University of Chicago and married Miriam Jeanne Lecky prior to entering WWII, where he was involved in the Aleutian Campaign as a Colonel. Following the War, he remained in Anchorage, working for the Corp of Engineers and as an Alaskan entrepreneur. In the 1960s, Leland relocated to the Port Angeles/Sequim area to be near his 3 sons, and continued to travel the world pursuing his passion of riding trains and hiking. He was a friend to many, especially the neighborhood dogs, who greeted him with wagging tails. Leland was preceded in death by his son, Stephen, and he is survived by his sons, Bryan and Craig, daughter-in-law Sue Heﬀernan, grandsons Justin, Andrew and Kent, granddaughters Galen and Claire and great granddaughter Elianna. Leland is also survived by his soul mate and constant companion, Josephine Green, with whom he traveled the country in search of vistas, saplings and evidence of the Lewis and Clark expedition. A private celebration of Leland’s life will be held.

Dorothy “Dottie” Haidal was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on May 1, 1943 and died peacefully at her sister’s home in Sequim, Washington on August 3, 2010. Dottie was a polio survivor who lived a full life. Her sense of humor brought much joy to all who knew her. Although her laughter gradually became more subdu subdued over the past two years as she valiantly battled ALS, her sense of humor neve never wavered. Growing up on the East Coast, in 1961 Dottie graduated from Edison High School in N New Jersey. For the next 15 years she was employed as a private secretary for Johnson & Johnson in New Brunswick, NJ. One of her responsibilities was social director. She lo loved to tell the story of when planning a department holiday party, she made her mark wh when the highly-publicized Door Prize turned out to be an old door, badly in need of paint. She married the late Edward Haidal in Warminster, PA on March 19, 1976. After visiting her sister and brother-in law, Peggy and Bob Kelly, they fell in love with the area and moved to Sequim in 1989. Her parents, the late Arch & Betty B Drylie soon followed. Dottie quickly embraced the Sequim community. She joined the Sequim Guild for Seattle Child i l off which hi h she became treasurer. Her love for children spread into many facets Children’s’ H Hospital, in her life, including CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate for Foster Children). She was also treasurer for PEO Chapter IV, P.A., and a member of MAC – Museum & Arts Center. Dottie & Ed were Ditchwalkers supporting the Sequim Irrigation Festival and enjoyed RVing with a fun group of friends. Dottie was supportive of anyone needing her help or tackling a committee project, but was always shy in accepting accolades. Her signature smile and twinkle in her eyes will be remembered by all who knew her kind spirit. She loved entertaining and her home was always welcoming to all. She enjoyed the Port Angeles Symphony and any restaurant within 50 miles. Her fellow SARC swimmers remember Dottie as a prankster of the “Bad Girls.” Most recently, Dottie was practicing traditional African Djembe drumming rhythms. The faster they drummed, the bigger her smile became. When she became unable to attend, the group disbanded. Dottie was the driving force for many groups of friends – all of whom miss her very much. Dottie is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Mandy & Mark Jenson, and grandson Brandon; sister and brother-in-law, Peggy & Bob Kelly; brother John Scott Drylie, nephew Gerry Kelly; nieces Sara Kelly and Amanda & Jerrin Fiorini and their two sons, Sean and Brent. She is also survived by stepdaughters, Chris Glover and Denise Forbes and stepson, Stephen Haidal. A private graveside memorial will be held at Dungeness Cemetery with Dr. Scott Koenigsaecker, Sr. Pastor, Sequim Community Church, oﬃciating. A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date for friends and family. Linde Family Funeral Services is in charge of arrangements. Contributions in Dottie’s memory may be made to Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County, 540 E. 8th St., Port Angeles, WA 98362.

Only two counties in Washington get an A for clean air from the American Lung Association. Clallam is one of them. Visit www.stateoftheair.org/2010/states/washington. We often overlook the value of our clean air to our young people, the frail or the elderly, to the health of our watersheds and harbor, our farms and forests and parks. To visitors and tourists. To fish and shellfish and all those invisible critters that keep our ecosystem in balance. It’s hard to quantify the value of health — and healthy air. But once that clean air is gone, there’s no assurance we can get it back.

GUEST OPINION

OPINION SEQUIM15, GAZETTE Wednesday, September 2010

Industry standards

Proponents say that the proposed biomass burner will “burn cleaner” and Diana cite an admirable reduction in CO2. But Somerville carbon dioxide is only one of the byproducts of commercial incinerators. What is overlooked is that the intense heat of commercial incinerators creates thousands of dangerous compounds — like dioxins — that are released into the air. Only Editor’s note: The a small fraction of these Port Angeles Planning chemicals have been identiCommission hosts a fied, much less examined for public hearing at 6 their impact on human, plant p.m. Wednesday, Sept. and animal health. 22, in the Port Angeles When I asked Paul Perlcity council chambers, witz, Nippon environmental 321 E. Fifth St., regardmanager, about these coming the shoreline subpounds after Nippon’s recent stantial development permit application that Port Angeles Regional Champroposes construction ber of Commerce presentaand operation of a tion, he assured me that the biomass cogeneration incinerator would be “built facility at the Nippon to industry standards.” Paper Mill. That is hardly reassuring. Remember: The drilling rig that failed so spectacularly in the Gulf of Mexico also was “built to industry standards.”

Compounding the problem Another problem: Pollution-control technologies for different pollutants often are incompatible. Scrubbers designed to filter particles and heavy metals will cool the exhaust gas to the ideal range for forming dioxins. Thus, decreasing the emission of one pollutant often increases the emissions of others. And no pollution-control device completely eliminates dioxins or heavy metals. When fragments of partially burned waste chemicals recombine within incinerators, smokestacks and/or pollutioncontrol devices, many of the hundreds or even thousands of the new compounds created can be more toxic than the original waste. Another health threat is the pollution from the trucks that would haul slash to the incinerator and haul away the ash to some unspecified location. Adding a burden of pollution to the local environment, while the entire system will be in the throes of adjusting to the removal of the Elwha River dams, can’t be a good thing. And there’s certainly been no time to address what might happen to all forms of aquatic life. Other incinerators are being considered in Forks, Port Townsend and Shelton. There is not enough slash to continuously feed such huge incinerators. Trying will put all our forests at risk. No one knows the impact of removing quantities of micro-nutrients and biological activity from our forests, nor how climate change may further stress all the many components of healthy woodlands (see biomass fuels and CO2 emissions). The forests are part of a natural ecosystem kept healthy by an intricate web of connections held in balance by a living, interactive dance, not a simple commodity. We mess with Mother Nature’s delicate systems at our peril: Forests across the country still suffer from the impacts of our short-sighted Smokey Bear no-burn policies. In the Pacific Northwest, we’re restoring the downed trees that had been removed to “improve” rivers and streams. The alluring promise of “green energy” may be a phantom. It has yet to pencil out as a net energy gain once you calculate all the energy required to gather and transport the slash, then haul away the ash. These incinerators are 19thcentury technology. They burn wood — or whatever — to create steam to run a turbine — hardly a green innovation. For this we should blight our irreplaceable waterfront? Weigh these concerns against a bit of new construction and a few jobs harvesting trees and hauling slash. Do we have the wisdom to recognize that we all depend on the health of our environment? That there’s no healthy economy without a healthy planet? Diana Somerville writes about creating more sustainable communities and our personal connection with the environment.

Bob Cleaves, president and CEO of the Biomass Power Association, says, “No such boiler can achieve all of the emissions standards that EPA is proposing in their rules.” Some suggest that the aggressive regulatory approach is intentional — a way to implement a capand-trade system without going through Congress. The costly and controversial cap-and-trade legislation suppor ted by President Obama and congressional Democrats continues to face fierce opposition. Critics say that, while President Obama stands at the front door touting renewable energy and job creation, his federal regulators are imposing a back door capand-trade system. Whether they call it capand-trade or re gulatory overreach, the result is the same: higher operating costs, higher energy costs for employers and families, fewer jobs, less investment and no economic growth.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Explanation needed Constitution Day is Sept. 16, and it is good to dust it off and read. A few points leap out at the differences between our Constitution and those before and since. (1) Abusive governments were very common, largely because of the lust for power that is a common human trait. This was addressed by dividing power with very specific language. (2) Government is instituted for the benefit of all the people, not just the ones at the top. Our system was based on the high value of the individual who was created in God’s image. Hence our patent office and inventiveness. (3) Some basic rights were considered to be God-given, so no majority or combination could mess with them. Laws require schools to teach the Constitution this month. Unfortunately the National Education Association held an annual meeting in New Orleans recently and took an opposite stand on every point. Judging by their reso-

lutions, the United States was on the wrong side in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Our vicious opponents embraced their points a lot better than we did. The educational establishment will have to do a better job of explaining their position. Robert W. Robinson Sequim

Party differences Some people think all political parties are the same. Some think there is too much animosity and polarization in the political process and wish for bipartisanship, wanting Democrats and Republicans to work together. With cooperation, synergy is achieved because people with different viewpoints work together toward a common goal. Synergy creates better solutions. Fixing health care is a noble goal. Using synergy to obtain health care solutions will provide the best outcome. Synergy was not

Letters From page A-18 used to create Obamacare. Democrats ignored all worthy and sensible Republican ideas for health care reform. There was no bipartisanship or cooperation. Instead, like-minded Democrats created the biggest legislative turkey ever generated by one political party. Wisely no Republicans voted for Obamacare. The Democrats perpetrated what will become the largest government hostile takeover of free enterprise in our history. Americans are not the idiots congressional Democrats think they are, which is why over 65 percent reject Obamacare and want it repealed. It’s also why no Democrats are mentioning it in their ads. There is another difference between the two parties. Democrats again rejected synergy when they ignored Republican solutions while passing the $862 billion stimulus bill, appropriately nicknamed “pork-u-bus.” Consequently only three liberal Republicans voted for it. The stimulus is a colossal Democrat failure. Congressional Democrats should be rebuked for their ineptitude. Democrats control the presidency plus the House and the Senate by wide margins. They have absolute power. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Encourage Democrats to use synergy by voting for Republicans in November. Peter Heisel Sequim

Party’s reputation is delusional In last week’s (Sept. 8) opinions, John Burbank advocated a personal income tax so those who garner the largest share of America’s wealth would pay a larger share of the cost to maintain the system that allows them to garner that wealth and also to reduce the taxes on small businesses and homeowners. Dr. (Roger) Stark wrote, “After passage, we learn the true cost of health care reform.” “True cost?” He presented a list of predictions by the Congressional Budget Office and Medicare’s chief actuary, predictions that oppose the Medicare trustees’ official report. But all of them, the CBO, the trustees and the actuary, are only soothsayers. None can accurately predict the future economy or future legislation. Without actual experience to measure the “true cost,” predictions are merely political noise.

STICKY NOTES FROM THE WEB Government is the problem? Government isn’t the problem? At all levels today, there’s lots of debate over these questions. President Obama insists, for instance, that the future is rosy and that whatever ails us now can be rectified by a blank check or another new program. His latest gamut, jobs creation, promises a glorious future while it drips with taxpayer dollars. Imbedded is the belief that the private sector can’t function without government help, direction or regulation. To achieve that end, government has the right to take (via taxes) whatever funds it wants and to expend whatever it deems appropriate. Zooming in on a local political contest, we learn that Commissioner Tharinger thinks that creating jobs is needed to jumpstart the local economy and that government has to partner with the private sector to accomplish that goal. Beware of candidates, even local ones, bearing gifts. As we’re seeing, their offerings come with huge price tags and miniscule results! — BobBoards This is the most amazing family! Even though my husband, daughter and I only met them 10 years ago, they have been an inspiration of what families should be. We in America need to take a look at what the Bekkavars represent and I am sure we would all be better off. — cmredat, about “Bekkevar family celebrates” (Sept. 8) The Bekkavars have accomplished something that many families have given everything for only to be swallowed up by big banks and big taxes. I am honored to have been present. Here’s to the next 100 years, Congratulations! — norgsct, about “Bekkevar family celebrates” (Sept. 8)

Stark writes under the banner of the Washington Policy Center. It calls itself a “nonpartisan independent policy research organization,” but is defined elsewhere as a “right-wing think tank.” Its funding is secret but its principal donor is reported to be “the largest and most influential right-wing foundation in the United States.” Why do they fly the false colors of “nonpartisanship” when facts prove otherwise? Guest columnist Jan Teague concluded, Republicans “are known to be more fiscally conservative.” “Known?” From 1981, Republican administrations cut taxes, increased spending and borrowed to pay the bills. Every year they spent more than they collected and national debt grew from $907 billion to more than $10 trillion. Republican “fiscal conservatism” is a delusion. Their history proves it. Roy F. Wilson Sequim

Foot in the door In the last issue of the Gazette (Sept. 8), in the guest opinion, John Burbank is beating the drums for I-1098. Can he really be naïve enough to believe that if this initiative passes that any tax will go down? Oh sure, it’s possible some taxes would go down if this initiative passes but you can bet they will go right back up as soon as the Legislature meets again. Please remember that this state likes to ignore what the people voted for. We voted for $30 license tabs a few years back. Have you bought one for $30 lately? I don’t think so. As to the initiative itself, this is nothing more than the old foot-in-the-door trick. If it passes, the money-wasters in Olympia will immediately go to work at bringing those so called high income numbers down each year and it won’t be very long before everybody will be paying a state income tax. Vote no. Dick Sutterlin Sequim

Others are choosing to ignore or deny the depth of these challenges. But there are people across the political spectrum, in every part of the country, gathering with friends and neighbors to build sources of security close to home. These folks are turning lawns into vegetable gardens and organizing their neighbors to start pea patches and farmers markets. They’re getting together with neighbors to swap preserves and skills, and to relearn the skills their grandparents had. They are protecting local resources — water, land, forests and fisheries — that can offer sustenance into the future, and they are starting up energy and weatherization cooperatives. They’re paying off their debt, moving their money out of big corporate banks to local banks and credit unions, and supporting local businesses. As they do, they are freeing themselves from the global corporate economy that moved jobs overseas and fueled the speculation that undermined the real economy of jobs, goods and services. These folks have chosen instead to use their resources to strengthen local economies and the small and medium-sized businesses that are most likely to create the new jobs of the next economy. These are the pioneers of the new normal and you can find them building the foundations of a hopeful future in urban centers, small towns and suburbs. Maybe you’re one of them.

Sequim man charged in Port Angeles stabbing Victim suffered collapsed lung by AMANDA WINTERS Sequim Gazette

A 30-year-old Sequim man will stand trial for firstdegree assault with a deadly weapon in connection with an early-morning stabbing Saturday, Sept. 4, at R Bar in Port Angeles. David Harris, whose lastknown address was on the 400 block of West Hemlock Street in Sequim, is accused of stabbing Ernesto Sanches Andalob with a knife, causing Andalob to suffer a collapsed lung, according to the Port Angeles Police Department. Harris pleaded not guilty to the charge at his Sept. 10 arraignment in Clallam County Superior Court. A trial is set for Nov. 1 to last five to seven days. Har ris, aka “Gangsta Dave,” was kicked out of the bar earlier in the night and allegedly threatened to return and “shoot the place up,” Detective Ted Rife said in court documents. At 1:41 a.m., medics and

police were called to the bar in response to a stabbing and found a large amount of blood and a bloodied knife at the scene, Rife said. Andalob told police he didn’t know who stabbed him or why, before being transported to Harborview Medical Center for treatment of a collapsed lung, Rife said. Police received information that led them to Harris’

aunt’s house in Sequim. She told police that Harris had called her and visited her house a few hours after the stabbing, Rife said. She told police Harris had injuries to his face and claimed he’d been jumped and had to defend himself, Rife said. She took Rife’s business card and said she’d have Harris call, he said. Harris did call but the

conversation was brief and he declined to go to the police station, Rife said. A $250,000 bond felony warrant was issued for Harris by Clallam County Superior Court as police searched for him. At 3:45 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 7, Harris turned himself in and was taken into custody at the Clallam County jail where he remains in lieu of $250,000 bail. Clallam County Prosecutor Deb Kelly said Harris was charged with first-degree assault with a deadly weapon and not attempted murder as police suggested because the investigation is ongoing. “I charged based on the infor mation at the time, knowing we have the ability to change the charges based on if the information we get warrants the change,” Kelly said. Police have 15 interviews to conduct as well as medical records and other details to gather for the prosecutor’s office, she said. Reach Amanda Winters at awinters@sequim gazette.com.

Officers were serving a search warrant on the 1200 block of 25th Street. They initiated the investigation after having received several complaints from neighborhood residents regarding suspicious activity that appeared to be related to narcotics activity. The officers determined there was enough evidence to apply for a search warrant for the residence. Once they obtained the search warrant, the Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team was contacted for its expertise in narcotics investigations and assistance with manpower and equipment. Anyone with any information or questions regarding this incident is asked to call Administrative Sgt. Ed Green at 360-531-2091.

Hetzer~Farley wedding

Sallee 60th wedding anniversary Billy and Judith Lindley Sallee celebrated 60 years of marriage on July 2, 2010, with a drive into the mountains. They were married July 2, 1950, in San Diego, Calif. Sequim residents for 13 years, they have lived in many states engaged in various occupations, including four and a half years in the U.S. Navy. His major work was as an executive for the Boy Scouts of America for 21 years. He also served as an executive for the chamber of commerce and as a writer for magazines, newspapers and a textbook for a college course. The couple worked together as newspaper publisher/editor,

special events directors for a giant flea market in Texas, college workshop teachers and as performing musicians. Both attended seminary at Phillips University in Enid, Okla., and have performed more than 4,000 weddings. Their three children, Charles, Rebecca and Paul, are deceased and they have one grandson, Brandon Sallee, living in Texas. Through the years, the Sallees have been involved with several “other kids,” young people who became as dear to them as were their own children.

Nicole-Marie Margot Hetzer and Seann Patrick Farley were married July 17 in an outdoor wedding among the redwoods in Aptos, Calif. Claus Hetzer, the bride’s brother, presided. Attendants were maid of honor Sarah Wood; bridesmaids Elaine Yu, Emily Coren and Melissa Brown; best man Orion Eaton; groomsmen Branden Husted, Mark Roenke and Wolfgang Hetzer; ringbearer A.J. Hetzer, assisted by Leo Hetzer; and flower girls Eleanor Byrne and Charlie Hetzer. The bride graduated from College Park High School and the University of California, Santa Cruz.

He is a martial arts instructor at the Santa Cruz Bujinkan Dojo and an electrician in Santa Cruz. He is the son of Paul and Mary Farley of Sequim. They plan to move to Austin, Texas, where the bride will be enrolled in the fall 2010 microbiology Ph.D. program at the University of Texas, Austin.

Guild celebrates Bliemeister’s contributions to annual drive by MARK ST.J. COUHIG Sequim Gazette

Wilma Bliemeister, a 26-year member of the Sequim Guild of Seattle Children’s Hospital, was honored with a certificate of appreciation Wednesday, Sept. 8.

The event took place at The Lodge at Sherwood Village during the Guild’s September meeting. Bliemeister, who now resides at Sequim’s Sherwood Manor, took it upon herself to gather crayons for this year’s drive for the hospital. “I got them from everybody,” she

said with a laugh. “Strangers and everyone.” Blieimeister said the folks in charge of activities at Sherwood Manor were very helpful in the effort. They kept a big tin bucket and a big sign on their desk, she said. Bliemeister moved to Sequim

from Big Pine, Calif., in 1984 or 1985 and has been active in the guild ever since. “I do it because I enjoy it,” she said. Each year Seattle Children’s Hospital asks its hundreds of guilds throughout the state to collect items that will directly benefit the

hospital’s patients. This year it was crayons. Those interested in joining the organization should call Carol Labbe, guild president, at 683-7130. Re a c h M a rk C o u h i g a t mcouhig@sequimgazette.com.

Harold Huff is a bit puzzled, yet remains encouraged. The same Sequim High program that produced a pair of state champions (Stephanie Marcy in 2006, Alli Cutting in 2008) and put seven girls teams and three boys teams in the state meet since 2002 still can’t draw a surplus of runners in recent seasons. Fortunately for the 10-year coach and his crew, this season’s purple-and-gold runners have either loads of experience or plenty of potential. A crew of 16 boys, half of them returning from last season’s team that missed qualifying for state by a single point at districts, hit the paths for Sequim. Senior Alex Jenkins and sophomore Adrian Clifford look to lead the hungry Wolves. The top two may be pushed by seniors JENKINS Joe Dapcevich and Brogan Vesterby, junior Joel Christopher and freshman Dylan Chatters. Jenkins finished 43rd at the

Play of the game

Sequim Gazette

Playoff teams can make other playoff teams look bad in a hurry. On Saturday night in Sequim, it took Meridian about 20 minutes to show why they’re one of the top 1A teams in the state. Meridian quarterback Zackary Slesk shrugged off three first-half interceptions to throw for 352 yards and five touchdowns as the Trojans routed Sequim 55-16 on Sept. 11, the Wolves’ 2010 home opener. For their part, the Wolves didn’t do themselves any favors, throwing four interceptions of their own, having two touchdowns negated by penalties, failing to recover any of three key fumbles and converting just one of 13 third-down attempts. “There (are) a lot of … very silly things we killed ourselves on,” Sequim coach Erik Wiker said.

Up 21-8 in the second quarter, a Meridian drive stalled on the Sequim 23-yard line. But on fourth down and 13 to go, Trojan quarterback Zachary Slesk slipped a pass to Jordan Warren, who then shrugged off several would-be tacklers for a touchdown and 28-8 halftime Meridian advantage. “(This game) is a lot closer if we fix half of those mistakes.” The 39-point setback is the largest home loss since 2002 — a 48-8 loss to Eatonville — and the largest margin of defeat under Wiker since a 51-0 loss at Bainbridge in 2005. (That 2005 Sequim team went 9-1 and came within a point of advancing to the

Catch a glimpse of ONP’s dams? Take a hike It’s the last dam summer, folks, and many of you have buttons from Olympic National Park proclaiming the fact. Little did park officials know that one of the dams has turned into the most popular tourist attraction in Clallam County. The Glines Canyon dam on Olympic Hot Springs Road was a mecca for Olympic Peninsula residents and tourists over the Labor Day weekend and, at times, one needed a parking attendant to handle all the cars whose passengers ventured up to see the structure for the last time.

SPOTLIGHT ON SPORTS Scooter Chapman Although the first block of cement isn’t scheduled to come off the top until September 2011, much work has been done this summer and continues. First, the Griff Creek work is done. It took $580,000

to dig up the road at the Elwha Ranger Station, build a temporary bridge, take out the old 5-foot culvert, install a 25-foot half-moon affair, cover it up, repave the road, take out the bridge and throw in a few stumps so returning fish can have a place to rest. When more windfall money was found, the road to Olympic Hot Springs was closed at Glines Canyon and the old road was torn up and hauled away. They are building two new bridges, revamping the OHS parking lot and making a new trail to the old springs. Lake Mills was closed as they constructed a big barge

and hauled heavy equipment to the head of the lake where work is to begin to make ready for the dam to be torn down. It remains closed. In the meantime, if you are planning to visit the site to see for yourself, plan to park at the ranger station and walk the mile and a half up to the dam. It’s probably easier than finding a parking place.

All it took was an early goal to get the Pirates going. And get going they did, to the tune of a 3-1 win against the visiting South Puget Sound Clippers Saturday night. Lucas Costa, Miguel Gonzalez and Jake Hughes each had scores as Peninsula opened their conference schedule with a win, outshooting the Clippers 29-4.

Josh Wright opened the scoring for South Puget Sound just 10 minutes into the contest, sneaking a shot past P.C. keeper Alec Risk. Gonzalez got the equalizer with his team-leading fifth score five minutes later, off an assist from Brent Ricigliano. It stayed tied until Hughes took a feed from David Astudillo and scored, and Costa added a goal in the 84th

SEQUIM GAZETTE

Consistent workouts produce top results Expert answers to your health and wellness questions. Question: I’ve been on and off with my exercise and up and down with my weight the past few years and for some reason, whenever I start exercising again, I actually seem to gain a couple pounds during the first two to three weeks and get discouraged. Can you explain this? Answer: Yes! And I have good news for you, so please read on with patience. When a sedentary or somewhat inactive individual starts an exercise program, several changes occur in the body as it responds to this new stimulus. The sum of these changes can add a bit to the scale temporarily, despite your hopes for the exact opposite. First of all, your muscle mass can increase and the added protein in the muscle stores additional water. The body also will start to store more glycogen (sugar for energy) in the muscles, and again, water storage plays a role. Several enzymes that process oxygen for fat burning also increase in quantity within the muscle cells. And if this isn’t enough, your connective tissues (tendons and ligaments) will toughen and thicken — and your total blood volume can increase by up to one pound within a week. All of this better adapts your body to increased physical activity and helps to improve your workout efficiency, giving you the ability to do more and work harder with less effort as you continue to train.

FITNESS MATTERS Jay and Heidi Bryan So not only does the exercise get easier but as your fitness level continues to increase you become able to burn more calories per workout and have a higher residual calorie burn after the workout. That’s when good things start to happen! The key is to be consistent with your workouts and avoid the scale for a while if you’re likely to get discouraged by what you see. Believe me, your weight will trend down in the long run as you continue your program. The problem is you probably never have stuck with it long enough to win the prize. Exercise is not the quickest way to lose weight but it is by far the best way to lose fat and keep it off for a lifetime. So get off the yo-yo diet and exercise roller coaster and don’t forget the old adage: Good things come to those who wait! Question: I was thinking of focusing a bit more on swimming this fall for general fitness and weight loss. What do you think — pros, cons? Answer: Swimming is a g reat exercise and a joint-friendly way to cross-train. I always applaud variety in an exercise program. However, there

are a few things to keep in mind. Swimming, while offering excellent overall health benefits, has not been shown to be as effective as some forms of cardiovascular exercise in terms of its effect on fat loss. Maybe the body knows that a little extra fat helps a body swim better due to the buoyant effect! A couple of studies have shown that competitive swimmers have higher body fat levels than competitive runners or cyclists. Another study suggests that swimming in cooler water overstimulates the appetite so that the calories burned during the exercise bout are obliterated by post-exercise gobbling! Also, since life is lived on land against the forces of gravity, a totally nonweight-bearing activity such as swimming is not entirely transferable to the functional strength and fitness requirements of activities of daily life, work and recreation. Having said all that, I still can recommend swimming as a supplement to traditional cardiovascular exercise for cross-training purposes. Just don’t rely on it as your only form of cardio unless you are forced to because of orthopedic issues. Question: I love fast food but I am trying to lose weight and improve my health. Is it OK to eat fast foods while on a diet program? Answer: I’d love to tell you no, but the qualified answer is yes. As always, there are a few important points to keep in mind. We all know fast food isn’t usually the healthiest option in town but we also

know that setting realistic goals is an important component of any successful weight-loss program. Therefore it might not make sense to completely deprive yourself of fast food, especially if it’s necessary for convenience sake when you are crunched for time. That said, if an occasional trip turns into three to four hamburger value meals per week, your weight loss efforts likely will suffer. The key is to become a savvy shopper and watch out for calorie-laden foods with added sugars, sodium and fat. Look for a “nutrition facts” pamphlet in local restaurants and educate yourself on their menus. Consider the small orders rather than large so your caloric intake remains reasonable even if the nutrient content isn’t so good. If you make the effort, you’ll be able to find a sensible meal no matter where you go. Remember, balance, variety and moderation are the words to live by when it comes to food. Eat more high fiber, highly nutrient dense foods (vegetables and fruit) when possible and avoid highly processed, high calorie foods with low fiber and nutrient content. If you apply these principles regularly and watch the quantity of intake, you won’t have to sacrifice your health and wellness goals when eating out.

Peninsula gave their home fans a treat before their first big road trip. The Pirates’ Ellen Rodgers broke a 1-1 tie with a score 73 minutes in and held on for a 2-1 win against Lane on Sept. 12 at Civic Field in Port Angeles. Peninsula opened the scoring at the 23-minute mark when Kimberly Jones poked a shot in, but Lane’s Bre Garcia tied the game about seven minutes before halftime. The second half was scoreless for 28 minutes before Jackie Rodgers found Ellen Rodgers for the game-winner. Peninsula is on the road for the next three games: Sept. 15 at Southwest Oregon (Coos Bay), Sept. 16 at Clark (Vancouver, Wash.) and Sept. 24 at Clackamas (Ore.).

Pirates get mini sweep in Vancouver For a two-game series the Pirates headed south last week and came back happy, winning a pair of one-goal contests for their first wins of the 2010 campaign. On Sept. 7, P.C. came within two minutes of a shutout before settling for a 2-1 win against Edmonds. Gonzalez opened the scoring at 27 minutes off a feed from Aaron Funderburk.

before halftime off an assist from Brian Holguin. Edmonds’ Jeremy Pynch spoiled the shutout in the 90th minute off a free kick. P.C. keeper Alec Risk had four saves. The Pirates outshot the Tritons, 20-6. “(A) very sloppy game — lots of rain — which created a very wet and muddy field,” Chapman said. “It was great to get two strikers scoring goals. Defense did a great job.” A day later, Peninsula edged Walla Walla 3-2 as Gonzalez scored the game-winner with about two minutes on the clock. “The men played very hard and would not give up,” Chapman said. “They were not going to tie the game.” P.C.’s Tyler Hindmarch found the net early, scoring an

unassisted goal in the third minute. Walla Walla’s Marco Acevedo scored off a free kick in the 24th minute. “We have to do better in (not) giving up free kick g o a l s, ” C h ap m a n s a i d . “Three out of four (goals) in nonleague play have been on set pieces.” Eight minutes later, Astudillo found Gonzalez for a score to put Peninsula up 2-1 at halftime. With five minutes remaining, it looked as if the Pirates would come away with another 2-1 win, but Walla Walla’s Talon Wyatt pushed a shot past P.C. keeper Jared Wilson off a corner kick to tie the game. Gonzalez and Peninsula had the last laugh, taking a Hindmarch feed and finding the net to give Peninsula the sweep. “It was great to see them fight for another goal after being scored on with only four minutes left,” Chapman said. “Our midfield had a great game and did really well to shut down their midfield.” Reach Michael Dashiell at miked@sequimgazette. com.

It may be early in the season, but Sequim’s volleyball crew is getting plenty of good competition. The Wolves dropped their first match of the season in four sets to 4A power Central Kitsap on Sept. 7. The Cougars won 25-8, 25-11, 19-25 and 25-13. “We just couldn’t handle their serving,” Sequim coach Jennie Webber Heilman said. “Once we got the ball up, we were OK.” According to the Kitsap Sun, Cougar Asha Hill set a school record with 12 aces in the match and added 12 kills while CK’s Tricia Vantino had 31 assists and 11 digs. On the Sequim side, Jessica Lauritzen led the Wolves with LAURITZEN seven kills, six aces and five blocks. Taylor Balkan and Kyla Martin had seven assists each. Balkan was a perfect 11-of-11 serving. “CK has a very good team,” Webber Heilman said. “We improved through the match with some great defensive plays.” Sequim followed that match by hosting their annual jamboree on Sept. 9. The Wolves topped Klahowya and Port Townsend, sweeping both two-set matches before falling to ri-

SPORTS/REC RESULTS

From page B-1 class 3A state tournament.) Sequim looks to regroup this week with the curt, two-game nonleague schedule completed and Klahowya coming to town Friday night.

Zackary Fitzpatrick, 17:24 Sophomore boys — 1. Adrian Clifford, 12:38; 89. Kiano Stoppani, 16:00 Junior boys — 31. Joel Christopher, 13:23 Senior boys — 12. Alex Jenkins, 13:02; 34.

Natalie McMurray, 18:54

Hard-hitting start Despite being in different classifications and never meeting before this contest, Meridian and Sequim looked like familiar league foes ready to slug it out for the opening whistle. Meridian scored first as Slesk found teammate Tait Slesk for a 15-yard score on third-and-goal, set up by a Mitchell Tripp interception to the Wolves’ 4-yard-line. After a Sequim punt, Zac Slesk fired a pass over the middle that Sequim’s Chris Falkey snagged and raced 16 yards for a touchdown. A twopoint conversion gave the Wolves an 8-7 lead, one that would disappear quickly. Meridian responded with 20 unanswered points to close the half, with Zac Slesk finding Tripp for a score from 25 yards out, then Drake VanderYacht from 21 yards away, and finally capped by Jordan Warren’s nine yard touchdown scamper. By halftime, Meridian had racked up 222 passing yards and nearly 300 total yards from scrimmage, while Sequim had as many penalties as first downs (three) and zero third-down conversions. Adding injury to insult was a hit to Sequim safety Joey Hall, a “crack-back” block that sent the senior off the field on a stretcher. Crack-back blocks are generally penalized 15 yards because the hit, generally coming from an offensive player running back in toward the play and hitting a defender at or below the waist, is particularly dangerous. “I blacked out for a bit,” Hall said following the game, noting that even though he was cleared to play by doctors, he plans to sit out the next game.

Cross country From page B-1 state 2A meet in 2009 while Christopher and Clifford both had top-15 finishes at districts. Huff likes what he sees from several of the Sequim boys who put in some miles during the offseason, particularly Dapcevich. On the girls side, Audrey Lichten looks to qualify for the state meet for the fourth time in her Sequim career. Her best state finish was 20th overall in 2008. “Audrey’s in the best shape s h e ’s b e e n , ” Huff says. Sophomores Heather Murray and Amelia Ohnstad return to give the LICHTEN Wolves some depth. Newcomers Jasmine McMullin and Natalie McMurray, both sophomores, round out the roster of just five girls. Needing five to score in a league meet, Huff says he can’t have anyone hurt during the rigorous cross country season. Still, he says, the girls team looks solid. “It’s just a matter of some of them getting in shape,” he says. Looking at the Olympic League, Kingston, North Kitsap and possibly Port Angeles look like the frontrunners, with Sequim battling for a spot among the upper echelon. Formerly 3A teams, North Kitsap and Port Angeles have dropped down to Sequim’s 2A ranks, while the entire league joins a 21-team West Central District. Huff says it looks as if only five teams and 25 individuals from districts qualify for state. “It’s not going to be easy,” Huff says.

Second-half miscues The Wolves looked to rebound quickly after the disappointing first half, as junior Tyler Forshaw raced 90 yards on the initial kickoff for a touchdown. But a block-in-the-back call about 20 yards away from the play negated the score and five plays later Trojan Richard Appel picked off a Sequim pass near the goal line. Zac Slesk made Sequim pay two plays after that, slipping a pass to Tripp, who raced 91 yards to the end zone and a 35-8 Meridian lead. Another Trojan interception on the next play from

scrimmage effectively ended any thoughts of a Sequim comeback. A nimble Zac Slesk added a score for the highlight reel as he avoided a slew of tacklers and fired a strike to an open Tait Slesk in the end zone for a 15-yard score and 42-8 lead. Sequim’s Frank Catelli scored on a two-yard plunge to close the gap slightly. Sequim starting quarterback Drew Rickerson said Meridian looked good on both sides of the ball. “They had the energy most of the game,” he said. “We knew they were good, that they were polished. This is a wake-up call.” Wiker said several Wolves had solid games, particularly Catelli, McFARLEN Preston McFarlen and Forshaw, who had a pair of long kick returns. “That was playing with some heart,” Wiker said of Forshaw’s effort. Sequim finished with 242 total yards — 128 through the air and 114 on the ground.

Catelli led all rushers with 78 yards on eight carries. Meridian was eight-of-13 on third-down situations, had 18 first downs and racked up 545 total yards.

Eagles are up next The Wolves are back at home next weekend to face the Klahowya Eagles from Silverdale to open Olympic League play. Klahowya (0-2) is coming off a 67-14 loss to Chimacum in week two. Wiker said he expects his team to respond well. “This is a playoff team; we’ll win a lot of games,” Wiker said. “These guys, they’re young. When we win, they’re happy. They don’t realize hard work is what got us here.” Sequim has dominated the series against Klahowya, winning 10 of 11 contests since the schools first battled in 2001. In 2009, the Wolves routed the Eagles 47-0 in Silverdale, with Rickerson passing for 157 yards and four touchdown passes. Reach Michael Dashiell at miked@sequimgazette. com.

sophomore girls each earned top-50 finishes in a 79-runner race, with Jasmine McMullin placing 15th overall. “The four sophomore ladies ran far beyond expectations,” Huff said.

on what is happening around us, and helping us all to be informed citizens. I really enjoyed seeing everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essays in the newspaper. I also really enjoyed writing some of those essays, because it gave me something to do and think about. And they were pretty fun and random topics. Which is pretty cool because we all got a chance to write what we thought, and have other people see it. I learned some things from reading some of their essays in the paper. And like I said earlier, I really liked reading what people thought. And then I actually learned quite a bit with reading the paper in class. So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty cool. Thank you for providing us with the newspaper weekly. And also for allowing us to share our thoughts and opinions in those 100-word essays.

Best Bets for the

Weekend

Here comes the weekend, and, if you are like most of us, you choose carefully how you’ll spend those 72 hours. Here are some suggestions:

Friday, Sept. 17 • “Ar ms and the Man” opens this weekend at Olympic Theatre Arts Center, 414 N. Sequim Ave., Sequim, and plays until Oct. 3. George Bernard Shaw first achieved commercial success with this satirical play that examines war and love. See Page C-6. • Bob and Claire Rogers lived in Sequim until 1995 when they took off to explore the United States on Zippy, their tandem bicycle. Some time later, they took off on Zippy to look for Shangri-La in China. Their adventures will inspire you, tonight in Sequim and Sunday in Port Angeles. The talks benefit the Discovery Trail.

Activities set for Olympic Peninsula 11th annual Dungeness River Festival 3-day annual party celebrates importance of the river, caters to families and outdoor enthusiasts by ASHLEY MILLER for the Sequim Gazette

The Dungeness River is an ingrained part of Sequim. Its water provides irrigation and groundwater while creating habitats for fish and wildlife. Without the river, the town literally would dry up. “The Dungeness River is one of the Olympic Peninsula’s vital resources,” said Bob Boekelheide, director of the Dungeness River Audubon Center. “It’s very important that we protect the river and keep it in healthy condition.” The Dungeness River Festival — an event celebrated to let people enjoy the river

while learning about how important it is — takes place FridaySunday, Sept. 24-26. “Salmon” greeters, lively music, clowns and tasty foods set the tone for the festival, which features fun and educational activities for all ages. New events this year include a community drumming circle, presentations on cougars and bears, and nature art activities geared toward children. Back by popular demand are stories of the Jamestown S’Klallam People, a live-bird rehabilitation program and a driftwood art show. The Dungeness River Festival offers plenty of opportunities to discover and enjoy the fall bounty of the Olympic Peninsula. Students and adults will enjoy 25 hands-on nature activities and exhibits including fish printing, a

Stress hurts DIABETES AND YOU Susan Sorensen The author is on leave of absence. This is a previously published article. Whether dealing with daily activities or life-changing decisions, stress is woven into the fabric of our lives. Our glucose level is constantly fluctuating. When we are in a stressful situation, our body prepares for “fight or flight” with an abundance of glucose in our blood for instant energy. If someone does not have diabetes, insulin is secreted from the pancreas to “link up” with the excess glucose to escort it into the cell where it is used for energy, which keeps the glucose within a narrow range. With diabetes, the body is unable to properly channel the increased glucose in the blood. Excess glucose continues to circulate throughout the body while making microscopic changes to the blood vessels throughout your body. It is the changes in the flexibility of the blood vessels that impair the circulation to your feet, eyes, kidneys and heart that lead to the common complications of diabetes. Unfortunately if we are in a state of continuous stress, this higher glucose level remains constant in anticipation of “the threat.”

What to do? So now that you know that stress can elevate your glucose, what can you do about it? First, glucose is what your

body uses for fuel, so exercise will help to lower your glucose level. If there were a pill that could produce all the benefits of exercise, it would be a sell-out! Our bodies were made for motion. Exercise not only uses glucose, it also helps to lower your blood pressure, lower your LDL cholesterol, raise your HDL cholesterol, promote weight loss, enhance strong bones and increase lean muscle mass. Whether you are doing aerobic exercise (running, biking, swimming), resistance training (weight lifting, Nautilus machines), or toning (Pilates, tai chi), any activity will burn calories while promoting flexibility and strength. If you are unable to do any of the mentioned activities, you can sit in a chair and move your arms and legs! The frequency of exercise often is discussed and a good benchmark is to do activity on any day that you eat. Remember that any exercise is better than none at all and we have to start in order to make progress.

And, if you can’t? The second thing that you can do to control your glucose level is to distract your mind from the focus of the stress. If you are not able to physically burn off excess calories, take a mental vacation with yoga or meditation. By decreasing the stress in your life, you will feel empowered to use your energy for whatever is in your control. Whether you exercise physically or mentally, you can control your glucose levels and live a healthy life with diabetes. Susan Sorensen is a registered nurse who does diabetes education in the community and can be reached at www.star ladydiabetes.com.

Gioia Boerrigter of Oak Harbor won the Vicki Coons Memorial Award for her piece “Under the Bigtop.” She’s been working in glass art for eight years and said it’s her true passion. “There’s something about capturing sensations from transparent colors, textures and light in the composition,” Boerrigter said. The memorial award was given for the piece that best expressed the joy of living.

Jesus Christ as my personal savior and (baptism) is part of the ritual to do so,” Gillenwater said. Jacobson had mentioned the possibility a few weeks earlier, at the baptism of four young children. “I asked him if he’d like to be baptized and he said he’d think about it,” Jacobson said. Later they had a discussion about the afterlife, which led to Gillenwater’s baptism. “I told him I wanted to see my mother, father and brother,” Gillenwater said. “He told me the only way I’d be

Hugh Gillenwater, 100, took a spiritual plunge. He was baptized by Pastor Lonnie Jacobson on Aug. 29 at Sequim’s Faith Baptist Church on Old Olympic Highway. Born Feb. 25, 1910, Gillenwater said he became a Christian more than 45 years ago. He attended church off and on throughout his life and as a child went to Sunday school.

They have two children, three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. “We’ve been married for so long that some of things he said didn’t make me think he was saved,” Carol said. “But I know he is a wonderful man. I chose him as my husband.” Gillenwater worked for Boeing

for 27 years. The couple has lived in Sequim the past five years.

Church support Jacobson said baptizing Gillenwater was a remarkable and unique experience. “The gospel is open to all ages,” Jacobson said. “As I told the congregation in the first part of August, I baptized a 7-year-old earlier and it shows there’s certainly room for anyone to come to Christ.” Church member Sandy Stoddard said the congregation was

Hugh Gillenwater said he wanted to be baptized by Lonnie Jacobson because he wanted to show people his faith and that when he’s in heaven, he’ll be with his family again.

Baha’i Faith,

“A humble man without learning, but filled with the Holy Spirit, is more powerful than the most nobly born profound scholar without that inspiration. He who is educated by the Divine Spirit can, in his time, lead others to receive the same Spirit.” - Abdul’Baha

thrilled for Gillenwater. “When Hugh came up out of the water, everyone clapped their hands,” Stoddard said. “We are all so happy for him. He is an encouragement to all of us.” “Whether a person is 7, 77 or 107 years old, it’s never too late in life for us to know the importance and power of knowing, loving, trusting and being obedient to God,” Stoddard said.

In the past 20 years, the number of cultivars has increased a great deal and now Heucheras have become more prominent in the garden. They are great to use at the front of borders and in containers because they are relatively short — 12 to 18 inches. It seems that tall perennials are more popular now and so perhaps the Heucheras don’t get quite the respect they deserve. Generally speaking, the foliage falls into one of two

or “Monet.” They are well-behaved plants that grow in tufts with long spikes of dainty flowers that can be coral, bright red, white and pink. After they bloom and begin to fade, remove the flower stems. This time of year, early autumn, is a good time to divide Heucheras. They do well in shade but can handle our summer sunshine, too. They like a more neutral to acid soil that is well-drained but stays moist.

HOROSCOPE It would be smart to insulate your business contacts from your social acquaintances at all times in the year ahead, because one could get in the way of the other and cause you trouble. Enjoy quality time with each, without letting them overlap. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Guard against strong inclinations to take any material risks. Something might sound good, but unless you fully understand it, you’ll be taking a flyer on a potential loss. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - It might seem like the clever thing to do, but getting your associates to handle things for you instead of doing the work yourself will end poorly. Be self-sufficient. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Don’t do anything that could greatly weaken your financial wherewithal if things go south. Loading up more debt will place you in a hopeless position. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - More losses will naturally occur if you are impractical regarding the management of your working funds. It would be like asking the fox to watch the henhouse for you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Although you might see yourself possessing advantages in certain areas, your judgment may be based solely on a whole bunch of wishful thinking. Face the facts. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Even if there are ample opportunities around you where relationships are concerned, it isn’t likely that you will know how to use them in ways that could benefit you.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Be particularly careful when it comes to anything that could affect some financial dealings you have with friends. Take care not to make any questionable maneuvers. ARIES (March 21-April 19) - There is nothing wrong with your ability to size up situations accurately, but that doesn’t mean you’ll follow what your common sense tells you to do. It’ll be your loss if you don’t. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - It’ll be hard to unwind something that goes awry between you and a few others, if neither you nor they are willing to accept what the problem might be. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Miscalculations are possible, owing to, first, your questionable judgment, and second, seeking counsel from some inept advisors. Analyze the advice of those who don’t agree with you. CANCER (June 21-July 22) - People rarely change, so don’t place your faith in the very people who have disappointed you in the past. ust because you want to believe they’re different, this isn’t likely to be the case. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Anything you allow to slip between the cracks will crowd you into a corner as time goes on, so, if you’re smart, you’ll get all your duties and responsibilities taken care of right now.
