How do you feel about being a Sequimite? How about a Sequimar-ian? Or a Sequimmer or Sequim-ian?

When I first started with the Sequim Gazette, I wrote a column that asked “What are the people of Sequim called?”

Following a bad joke about se-quins and disco, the column alluded that by definition a Sequim resident is a Sequimite.

A few days after that column ran, a reader phoned me to say I was incorrect. She said a newcomer was a Sequimite and after a certain amount of time they become a Sequimarian.

But, two children later and count-less stories written, I can’t recall if it was the other way around or not.

What we do know is that there are some definites — Seattle people are

Seattleites and Portland residents are Portlanders. But not much cre-dence goes into naming the people of smaller cities like Sequim.

Do you refer to your grandmother in Gig Harbor as a Gig Harborian or Uncle Stu in Sammamish as a Sammamishian?

Probably not.

Doug McInnes, who publishes “The Ditchwalker” for Sequim Old-Timers and Sequim Schools Alumni, wrote a tongue-and-cheek column on the subject of who we are in November 2005.

“Having to say you are ‘from Sequim’ hasn’t got any real class or rhythm to it, like saying you are Parisian or Laplander,” he wrote.

McInnes considered several options including the popular Sequimite which he said “conjured up visions of small burrowing crea-tures that eat your house.”

He discards a few other choices, too.

Sequimlandian: too long.Sequestiran: too horse-related.Sequimmer: “too much like

swimmer and the town isn’t even on the water.”

With a little over a week before the 67th Toys for Sequim Kids, donations began to pour in.

Donna Tidrick, president of Sequim Community Aid, said donations to benefit in-need Sequim parents of infants to 14-year-olds with toys, clothes, blankets and more were looking down.

But Toys for Tots helped with some donations, Tidrick said, and Sequim Commu-nity Aid used some finan-cial donations to purchase needed items for the event

Rep. Kevin Van De Wege (D-Sequim) has been reappointed to the Health Care & Wellness Committee for the 2015 Leg-islative Session of the State House of Representatives.

“Rural districts like ours need strong representation on the Health Care & Well-ness Committee, which is what they are getting with Rep. Steve Tharinger and myself,” said Van De Wege.

“Our district has two coun-ties with the highest percent-ages of elderly residents com-pared to the rest of Washing-ton. I will ensure that access to quality, affordable health care is unencumbered.”

In addition to his duties

as the House Majority Whip, Van De Wege also will serve on the Agriculture & Natural Resources, Community Devel-opment, Housing, and Tribal Affairs, and Rules Committees.

Hargrove named top Democrat on Ways & Means committee

Sen. Jim Hargrove, D-Hoquiam, will be the rank-ing Democrat on the Ways & Means Committee when the 2015 legislative session begins next month.

Hargrove served as chair-man and was the rank-ing member of the Senate’s budget-writing committee during the last two sessions.

“There’s no doubt we have serious budget chal-lenges ahead of us in 2015,” Hargrove said. “I look for-ward to working with my colleagues to find a way to secure our commitment to education while not crip-pling programs that keep people healthy and safe.”

Hargrove, the Senate’s most experienced legislator, also will serve on the Senate Human Services, Mental Health and Housing Committee.

He represents Olympic Peninsula’s 24th Legislative District and will mark the start of his 31st year serving in Olympia when the legislative session begins Jan. 12.

Van De Wege reappointed to health, wellness committee

His office is located at 321 N. Sequim Ave., Ste. C. (360) 683-4850www.Sequimsmiles.com

Dr. Davies is accepting new patients

TOOTH TROUBLEZings, zaps, twinges, twangs and other assorted pains. In my experience the first thought of tooth

pain suggests to a patient is a cavity or tooth decay. But in fact, unless a tooth decay is advanced, most people will not notice it. A biting sensitivity could be a tooth cusp fracture. Cold or sweet sensitivity is often due to exposed root surface due to gum recession or tooth brush abrasion. Other pains could be due to sensitization of tooth nerves from bite discrepancies or even sinus irritations. That is not to diminish the possibility of the presence of tooth decay. However more tooth decay is found while looking for something else or during a general examination including x-rays than looking for a the source of pain episode. Therefore we recommend regular dental checkups to discover treatment needs rather than waiting for discomfort to spur action.

But Toys for Tots helped with some donations, Tidrick said, and Sequim Commu-nity Aid used some finan-cial donations to purchase needed items for the event

on Dec. 19 in Trinity United Methodist Church.

“We’re truly blessed to have this,” sa id Dawn Washburn of Sequim.

As a participant, Washburn was looking for items for her three children ages 8 months to 14 years old.

In recent years, parents and guardians trickled in throughout the day but this year many of the items were gone before lunch. This year stuffed animals were par-ticularly popular and they had more blankets than ever before, said Shirley Ander-son, a member of Sequim

Community Aid continues Toys for Sequim Kids effort

Community Aid. Myrna Ford, treasurer for

the nonprofit, said they hope for more clothing donations next year, too.

Toys for Sequim Kids is one part of Sequim Community Aid’s efforts. It also provides assistance for electricity, wa-

ter and rent bills and deposits to families in need. For help, reach Sequim Community Aid’s beeper at 681-3731.

To donate or send money, mail a letter to Sequim Com-munity Aid, P.O. Box 1591, Se-quim, WA 98382. For Toys for Sequim Kids, designate “toys.”

Kim Leach, deputy direc-tor of Serenity House of Clallam County, has been selected as the agency’s new executive director, succeed-ing Kathy Wahto.

“I believe in the mission, I understand the mission and I feel I’m in a good position to carry out the Ten Year Plan to end homelessness,” Leach said. “I’m looking forward to the challenge and the opportunity to lead such a great staff.”

Brando Blore, Seren-ity House board president, said, “The board is very satisfied to have someone with lengthy experience continuing the agency’s success.”

According to Blore, board members were pleased to hire a local person and someone with such sub-stantive experience with the agency and the community.

Leach has experience with program development, community involvement, children in families, correc-tions, drug treatment and research. She worked for the Port Angeles School District prior to becoming Serenity House’s Child Advocate in 2003. She advanced from lead case manager for fam-ily service programs to deputy director in 2013.

Leach graduated cum laude from Ottawa Univer-sity in Ottawa, Kan., with a bachelor’s degree in human services, with an emphasis in child advocacy and cor-rections.

Serenity House is a local nonprofit, founded in 1982, dedicated to preventing and ending homelessness in Clallam County.

it and still have some to go,” Smith said. “The biggest reason I’m doing this is to get the property cleaned up. It’s been a mess for 15 years. The neighbors are very excited about the new ownership because the property’s been neglected. They’re all very happy to get the property cleaned up.”

Smith is entertaining several options: Lease it to someone who will remodel it for a busi-ness, part out the barn and sell its lumber or have someone dismantle it and rebuild it on another property.

Smith recalls the 3,000-square-foot dairy barn with a 1,000-square-foot loft from the early 1950s and assumes it was built in the 1940s. In the 1970s his parents purchased the property and later sold it. The loft still has a steel trolley for moving hay to the hay mow. Fir beams, probably about a foot thick, support the roof and fir boards

are visible from inside at the roofline. At some point in its history, sheds were at-

tached on both sides of the main barn and an addition, on waist-high concrete blocks, was put on the back as milking parlor for dairy cows.

Research by Judy Stipe of the Museum & Arts Center in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley didn’t turn up the barn builder’s name and everyone she talked to said it has no historical significance.

“It’s not any unique style,” Smith said. “The main barn is not in bad shape but to remodel it to be commercially viable is going to take quite a bit of work. I’ve had three or four folks call, so we’ll see. Tearing it down, that’s a possibility. If I do take it down, I will try to repurpose the materials.

“There are a lot of large frame timbers and the flooring in the loft could be reused. I believe a lot of the wood came out of the Carlsborg Sawmill, where the Industrial Park is now.”

Smith said he has a timeline of six months to make a decision on the barn’s fate.

Contact him at 683-3737 to see the barn and share ideas.

McInnes set t led on Sequimese but today says Sequimite is the best.

Other Sequim pioneers seem to agree or at least that the phrase is the most recognizable.

Bud Knapp said at first he

thought Sequimite sounds right but has heard other-wise.

“I’ve heard people from Port Townsend and Chima-cum call us Sequimmers, but I really don’t know,” he said.

Judy Stipe, a represen-tative for the Museum & Arts Center in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley, said Sequim’s old-timers weren’t

much for nicknames but of the few names she’s heard range from Sequimmers to Sequimolites.

“Sequimites sounds like a bug,” she said.

Shelli Robb-Kahler, execu-tive director for the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce, said Sequimite is what she’s always heard.

“And I’ve was born and

raised here,” she said. Some newer residents

like Renne Brock-Rich-mond, who produces the First Friday Art Walk and serves as an instructor at Peninsula College, find Sequim to be an exclusive name at times.

She grew up coming to Sequim for vacations and knew how to pronounce it but

she finds that’s not always the case especially when speak-ing with people from across the globe.

“People struggle with being able to pronounce Sequim,” she said. “But they are familiar with how to say swim so I use Sequimmers. That way they have an at-tachment. Plus I’m a big fan of double consonants.”

Other possibilitiesAfter analyzing count-

less denonyms, a term for residents of an area, it seems a number of suffixes would fit Sequim.

Adding an “ian” would follow along with fellow Washingtonians. McInnes’ Sequimese could work but so could Sequimi and Sequimonian.

Another local, Tom Pitre, refers to other Sequim residents and himself as the previously mentioned Sequimarian.

“It has a more regal feel to it than Sequimite,” he said.

“Sequimite is too close to termites, while Sequim- arians are residents of Sequim bobway, “a kingdom unto it-self,” a term I used on a T-shirt and I wear, proudly.”

Pitre said he associates the suffix “ite” with phrases like the Israelites and stalac-tites, and other minerals and old fossils, whereas “arian” means to him is a person that has a connection with Sequim.

Patty McManus Huber, co-owner of Nash’s Organic Produce, isn’t so sure about Sequimarian.

“It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie,” she joked.

But when asked to choose, she said Sequimite is the first name that popped into her head.

“I would sure be open to something else,” she said.

Looking online and through countless newspa-pers, Sequimite appears to be the norm with the phrase appearing sporadically in headlines and stories for at least 10 years.

However, the phrase only seems local to Sequim and the North Olympic Peninsula.

Grammatical rules for the suffix “ite” would suggest Sequimite could work along with several other options. There’s no known decree or slogan or song and some of-ficials shrug when asked what we’re called.

Finding consensus doesn’t seem to be an option on a name with so many options but if we aren’t quite sold on Sequimite like McManus-Huber suggested, maybe we should be open to another idea.

We could default to a slogan like “City of Sunshine,” or “Land of Lavender.”

But simply being from Sequim does seem to matter to many of its residents young and mature.

Can you find another small city with so many names for itself?

It is amazing what the Clallam County community can do. So many volunteers, so many very generous community members.

United Way is calling on those gen-erous donors now.

The United Way campaign has reached $386,000 or 38.6 percent of the $1 million goal. More businesses and community members continue to turn in their campaign results daily and United Way expects this amount to increase significantly.

The campaign is tracking to match last year’s total donations, which fell about 10 percent short of the goal. This year United Way is reaching out, asking community members to give a small amount to strengthen local communities. If everyone gave just $10, it would exceed its goal.

United Way invests community donations throughout the year in 23 partner agencies delivering services in the areas of education, income and health, and in United Way’s four Community Solutions initiatives:

the 2-1-1 Help Line, Access to Health Care Coalition, the Clallam County Literacy Council and Great Begin-nings, United Way’s newest featured work focused on early learning.

Great Beginnings helps parents and others become the best first teachers of children so that all Clallam County children get a Great Beginning. When

children start school ready to learn, they are more successful in school and life.

When the community invests in one child it strengthens the family, eventually a single investment leads to a more thriving community. Many community members also volunteer with these agencies and initiatives, and additional volunteers always are welcome.

United Way year-end giving helps families know that they have made a difference here at home. Parents also can encourage children to make decisions about charitable giving and volunteering, which raises children to embrace this kind of community involvement.

The United Way office at 102½ E First St, Port Angeles, will be open Dec. 29-31 for year-end donations.

Contributions also can be mailed to PO Box 937, Port Angeles, WA 98362.

To give by credit card, visit www.unitedwayclallam.org/give, or call 457-3011.

The fundraising campaign ends March 31, 2015.

United Way asks for year-end giving Required to take an IRA distribution? Why not donate instead?IRA owners who are 70½ years old and are required to take an IRA distribution again have another option. Since 2006, the federal government has permitted IRA owners to roll over required distributions up to $100,000 from their IRA to a charity without paying any federal taxes. This option has been temporarily unavailable this past year but has again been renewed by legislators in tax legislation approved on Dec. 16 for 2014. This means that if you already made a transfer from your IRA to a charity or do so prior to the end of December, you can avoid the additional tax burden of the distribution.United Way of Clallam County is one organization to consider for this charitable giving – United Way has a permanent endowment fund through the Clallam Community Foundation providing a way to leave a lasting legacy that positively impacts education, income and health needs in your community every year. This is a continu-ous investment in strengthening the entire community. For more information on making a lifetime or legacy gift or for other local giving options, contact United Way of Clallam County at 457-3011 or your financial advisor. For help with a transfer of assets, contact your IRA custodian.

Rules for a charitable IRA Rollover• You must be least 70½ years old.• The gift must be from a traditional or Roth IRA (no

401(k)s, 403(b)s, etc.).• The gift must be made to a public charity.• The gift must not be to a donor advised fund main-

tained by the charity.• The gift must be outright and not to a gift annuity or

charitable remainder trust (i.e. no life income arrange-ments).

• The gift, combined with other qualifying IRA chari-table rollover gifts made during the year, must not exceed $100,000.

Few residents can miss the red, white and blue moving truck with America’s Elite emblazoned on the side at 765 W. Washington St. in Sequim but moving is only a small part of what this versatile and spe-cialized company does.

In 2012, longtime area resident Sean Ryan opened his own indepen-dent, licensed, bonded and insured business under the nationwide America’s Elite banner.

“We offer water and fire mitiga-tion and restoration, repossessed home renovation, general contract-ing, trauma scene cleanup and moving services,” explained Robert Porrazzo, the company’s manager.

Added Ryan, “I saw the need for a good restoration company on the peninsula. It’s a good market and it helps people, too.”

The bulk of their business is re-sponding to water pipe breaks that flood floors and drench dry wall.

“Probably the more common ser-vice is water loss from a broken pipe that causes floor and wall damage. Our job is to go in and dry the struc-ture appropriately so mold doesn’t grow and we’re trained in water

Last week’s Olympic Medical Center board of commissioners meeting was just the most recent in a series of presentations by Sequim School District staffers and advocates for a $49.2 million school construction bond propos-al, set to go to voters in February.

Sequim schools superinten-dent Kelly Shea told commis-sioners about the plan, and while commissioners didn’t draw a resolution to publicly support the Sequim proposal or a Port Angeles School District bond proposal they learned about on Dec. 17, commissioners did in-dicate they would discuss such a resolution at their next meeting set for Jan. 7.

“One of the main questions we get from our younger doctors, (is) … they ask about the schools,”

OMC board president Jim Leski-novich said. “We all know how important it is to have good school systems.”

“This is not a school board deci-sion,” Shea told commissioners. “This is a community decision.”

Shea noted that the Sequim School District has more than 20 portables in place, buildings that he said are supposed to be tempo-rary. Some of them are more than 20 years old.

“We need permanent solutions,” Shea told the OMC board. “That’s what we’re looking for here.”

And while Shea isn’t allowed to openly advocate that citizens vote to approve the bond plan, the group Citizens for Sequim Schools is.

“I think we’ve found something the community can support,” Jim Stoffer, Citizens for Sequim Schools bond campaign chairman, said. “It’s pretty positive (so far).”

For more information about Citizens for Sequim Schools, see www.facebook.com/Citizens-ForSequimSchools.

Few residents can miss the red, white and blue moving truck with America’s Elite emblazoned on the side at 765 W. Washington St. in Sequim but moving is only a small part of what this versatile and spe-cialized company does.

In 2012, longtime area resident Sean Ryan opened his own indepen-dent, licensed, bonded and insured business under the nationwide America’s Elite banner.

“We offer water and fire mitiga-tion and restoration, repossessed home renovation, general contract-ing, trauma scene cleanup and moving services,” explained Robert Porrazzo, the company’s manager.

Added Ryan, “I saw the need for a good restoration company on the peninsula. It’s a good market and it helps people, too.”

The bulk of their business is re-sponding to water pipe breaks that flood floors and drench drywall.

“Probably the more common ser-vice is water loss from a broken pipe that causes floor and wall damage. Our job is to go in and dry the struc-ture appropriately so mold doesn’t grow and we’re trained in water

damage mitigation,” Porrazzo said. “We also provide mold testing and removal. For fire loss, we do salvage of the homeowners’ personal items and retrieve and restore them.”

“Drying out is really scientific — if you don’t know what you’re doing, you can cause a lot of damage,” Ryan noted, stressing the worst thing a resident can do to a wet room is crank up the heat because heat plus moisture equals mold.

Typically, when a home has sustained water damage from a clear water source like a burst pipe or overflowed bathtub, the customer calls and Ryan’s team mobilizes with its equipment, including giant dehumidifiers, to the residence, arriving within an hour. Porrazzo or Ryan does a walk-through with the client while mentally developing a mitigation plan and documenting the damage electronically. They discuss the plan with the homeowner and de-termine if the damage is such that an insurance claim should be filed.

“We start by extracting the water from all surfaces, removing personal items and placing furni-ture on special foam blocks so the legs won’t get wetter,” Porrazzo said. “If we can get to a loss in four days we generally can save the sheetrock and carpet — wet sheet-rock can be dried to its original hard state. The sooner we’re able to get to a loss, the less tear-out, which is better for the homeowner

and the insurance company.”

Moving services“We learned we’re really good

movers and we can move anything from a household to vehicles — and we will go across the country,” Ryan said. “We also do civil stand-bys for evictions and will help evictees or landlords get items out of the property.”

The company offers expert pack-ing and loading.

Trauma and compassionAlthough both Ryan, a six-year

volunteer firefighter, and Por-razzo, a paid and volunteer veteran firefighter/EMT for 12 years, have seen plenty of trauma and death, working on a trauma cleanup case is never without emotion for them. The aftermath of a suicide, murder, other traumatic or delayed discov-

ery death in a home and the cleanup it requires is daunting.

“Trauma scenes are the hardest because there’s emotion there. (As a firefighter/EMT) a suicide always broke my heart because there was a person hurting inside. When we come in (as America’s Elite) what’s left is a family hurting inside,” Por-razzo said. “The hardest thing to do is hand grieving people a bill. It’s more than a job for us.”

“With trauma services, compas-sion is our thing,” Ryan said. “We get emotionally attached — at the end of the cleanup the survivors consider us family. It’s impossible to remain unattached. And confiden-tiality with us is huge. We don’t talk about it or attract attention when we’re there in cleanup.”

“I’d rather it be us rather than a Seattle company just doing a job. We make trauma go away the best

we can,” Porrazzo said.

Community serviceRyan said the company has five

full-time employees and seven part-time ones and that he makes a conscious effort to hire veterans and people on public assistance to train them for family wage jobs.

“We’re actually trained as first responders — a lot of us trained with Clallam County Fire District 3 — and we require all our employees to have CPR and first aid training,” Ryan said.

“They’re also required to stop and assist if they see a situa-tion. We also provide $25,000 in scholarships of $750-$1,500 to students at Sequim High School and provide Christmas for families identified to us by Head Start. We really do try to give back to the community.”

A new survey of drivers shows seven out of 10 have used mari-juana and almost half of those re-cently have driven within a couple of hours after marijuana use.

If you or someone you know uses marijuana and drives while high, beware — extra DUI patrols are happening statewide this holiday season between now and Jan. 1, 2015.

According to preliminary re-

sults of a June survey measuring driver impairment on Washing-ton’s roads, nearly 90 percent of those same drivers said they did not think marijuana degraded their driving ability, despite research showing that driving while high doubles your chance of killing yourself or others in a crash.

In fact, 25 percent of those re-spondents felt that driving while high made them a better driver.

“It’s extremely troubling to me

that so many marijuana users think that driving high is not a problem. It’s a serious problem,” said Darrin Grondel, Washington Traffic Safety Commission direc-tor.

From 2009-2013, more than 1,000 people died in impaired driving collisions in Washington. Impaired driving is involved in nearly half of all traffic deaths and more than 20 percent of serious injury collisions.

In addition to those tragic

consequences, a DUI arrest comes with heavy penalties. A DUI arrest carries up to a year in jail, a $5,000 fine and a loss of a driver’s license. DUI offenders also can be ordered to wear an electronic ankle bracelet. Many must install an ignition interlock device, which prevents a car from starting if the driver has been drinking. Defense attorney fees can cost as much as $10,000 and insurance rates can double.

In Clallam County, the Port

Angeles and Sequim police de-partments, the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office and the Washing-ton State Patrol will be teaming up and participating in the extra patrols, with the support of the Clallam County DUI Target Zero Task Force.

All of these extra patrols are part of Target Zero — striving to end traffic deaths and serious injuries in Washington by 2030.

More than one year after his arrest, charges were filed Dec. 1 against Sequim resident Elijah Robert San-ford for two alleged counts of vehicular assault reckless manner-aggravated circum-stance and alleged vehicular assault reckless manner on

Nov. 24, 2013. Sanford is set to appear be-

fore Clallam County Superior Court at 9 a.m., Friday, Jan. 2, for his arraignment.

Sanford, then 18 years old, was arrested on Nov. 24, 2013, following a car crash that resulted in seri-ous injuries to Cailey Stipe, a then 15-year-old Sequim resident and Garrett Payton, a then 19-year-old from Port Angeles.

The police report states that at a little before 2 a.m. Sanford was driving a Volk-

swagen Golf eastbound on Heuhslein Road. As the car approached Spring Road, Sanford lost control of the vehicle and after leaving the road, the vehicle rolled sev-eral times.

Sanford was found with marijuana and admitted to drinking alcohol and smok-ing marijuana earlier that night.

He volunteered to provide a breath sample, which showed a 0.055 blood alcohol con-centration. The Washington limit is 0.08.

Sanford was booked into Clallam County jail for driv-ing under the influence as a minor, possession of marijuana, reckless driving and two counts of vehicular assault.

He was released without bail and was ordered to ap-pear in Superior Court on Dec. 2, 2013, to be charged, but Deputy Prosecuting At-torney John Trobert declined to file formal charges at the time, saying the “state will let law enforcement complete their investigation before making a charging decision on this potential vehicular assault case.”

Per count Sanford faces a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment and/or $20,000 fine.

The Dungeness Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Pa-trol, the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, announces achievements for three ca-dets from Sequim:

• Cadet CMSgt. (chief mas-ter sergeant) Siana Turner, a Sequim High School stu-dent, has been appointed the squadron cadet commander. New squadron commander 1st Lt. Matthew Stewart ap-pointed Turner, the ranking squadron cadet, on Dec. 2.

•  Cadet Tyler Morales,

a Sequim Middle School student, has been promoted from the rank of cadet air-man to airman first class. Morales received the Gener-

Sequim students receive Civil Air Patrol honorsTurner, Morales, Patterson earn kudos for service

al H.H. “Hap” Arnold Award ribbon for completing his second achievement.

• Cadet Madeline Patter-son, also a Sequim Middle School student, has been promoted from the rank of cadet airman first class to senior airman. Patterson received the Mary Feik Award ribbon for completing her third achievement.

With guidance and direc-tion from adult officers, Civil Air Patrol cadets largely su-pervise and train each other within an Air Force-style command structure. Cadets advance through 13 achieve-

ments from cadet airman to cadet colonel by completing training in aerospace educa-tion, physical fitness, leader-ship and character.

“The Civil Air Patrol cadet program is an excellent way for teens to get involved in aviation and prepare for edu-cation or careers involving high technology,” Stewart said. “For many, it’s the best way for parents to encourage their kids’ interests in STEM (science, technology, engi-neering and mathematics).”

Male and female teens, ages 12-18, are encouraged to visit the squadron, which meets Tuesdays from 6-8 p.m. in the Sequim Middle School cafete-ria. The group recently moved to Sequim from facilities in Port Angeles and adopted its new name, the Dungeness Squadron.

The squadron also seeks prospective adult officers, known as seniors, who are in-terested in the Civil Air Patrol’s three missions of aerospace education, the cadet program and emergency services.

The Alzheimer’s Disease Working Group seeks public feedback and advice on how to improve the lives of people with dementia-related diseases. The group invites the public to complete a brief online survey at http://tinyurl.com/WAStateAlzheimers-Plan. Results will help craft a state plan to address Alzheimer’s disease.

The working group encourages people im-pacted by memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, including older adults; friends and family members; family caregiv-ers or care partners; paid or volunteer social service, health or long-term care workers; and advocates to participate in the survey.

Learn more about the Alzheimer’s Dis-ease Working Group at www.altsa.dshs.

wa.gov/stakeholders/AD/.State Rep. Steve Tharinger (D-Dunge-

ness) released the following statement requesting public feedback on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia-related diseases.

“In 2013, Washington state had the highest mortal-ity rate for Alzheimer’s dis-ease in the United States and

that rate is continuing to climb throughout the country,” State Rep. Steve Tharinger (D-Dungeness) said in a statement request-ing public feedback on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia-related diseases.

“This past year, Gov. Inslee and the Leg-

islature passed SB 6124, which authorized the development of an Alzheimer’s Disease Plan for Washington,” he said. “For the past year I have worked with the Alzheimer’s Diseases Working Group which directed staff to create a survey to help the state determine what we can do to assist those diagnosed with these diseases. We need the public’s input by the end of December in order to have the best recommendations possible.”

The workgroup is part of the Department of Social and Health Services’ system of long-term services and support programs designed to help people who are vulnerable stay in their local communities, with family members and in their own homes. DSHS is nationally recognized for its innovative, long-term care programs and is ranked as second in the nation by AARP in long-term supports for older adults, people with dis-abilities and family caregivers.

to customers. As an effort to reduce costs

to local rate payers, Papan-drew said the utility district anticipates raising rates at 3.5 percent annually with the dif-ference between Bonneville and the utility district’s im-posed increases it’ll dip into the utility district’s reserves about $2 million through projected rates in 2019.

At this time, the utility dis-trict keeps a policy of at least $19 million in reserves, he said, in case of an emergency like a natural disaster.

With water and sewer rates, utility district officials anticipate an annual increase of 6 percent for both due to aging infrastructure. Papan-drew said the water and sewer utilities don’t have the abil-

ity to pay for improvements themselves so expenses are absorbed through customer rates.

“We’re seeing a need for a lot of capital improvements,” he said.

These rate increases are in-cluded in the utility district’s approved 2015 operating budget of $58 million, which includes about $25,589,000 for purchasing power and about $17,865,000 for opera-tions and maintenance.

Papandrew said the utility district plans to sell about 0.6 percent more utility services in 2015 and officials are anticipating more costs coming in the years to come from the Washington Energy Independence Act. In 2015, the utility district will pay about $200,000 or renewable energy credits, Papandrew said, and he estimates about $177,000 in 2016, $359,000 in

2017 and $503,000 in 2018. He said the utility district

also will offset these costs through the proposed annual increases.

General manager’s raise Commissioners also unan-

imously approved a 3.67 percent or $6,576 annual raise for Nass. This increases

his salary to $185,580 an-nu a l ly a nd his deferred compensation per month to $2,000. He’ll also receive a $500 automo-

bile allowance. In 2013, his pay increased

Clallam PUD’s planned engineering addition to its Carlsborg Operations Center is slated for completion in September along with a new headquarters and substation shop.

to $14,917 per month or $179,004 annually with an additional $1,716 deferred compensation plus more personal time off (45 days annually).

The decision follows an annual review of Nass’ perfor-mance and the new increases are retroactive to Nov. 16.

Incoming infrastructure Work continues on the

utility district’s new head-quar ters in Carlsborg with site work started in October.

The latest estimate puts the project at $14.2 million for 43,000 square feet for the headquarters, a substation shop and an engineering addition to the Carlsborg Operations Center.

Mike Howe, utility dis-trict communications and government relations man-ager, said the costs include design, site development and construction costs with a tentative completion date planned for September and a projected move-in of October.

The utility district sold $14.225 million worth of bonds on Oct. 14 for the proj-ect and other infrastructure needs.

Utility district staff said the new buildings centralize the agency to more of its cus-tomers and replaces aging

infrastructure. Howe said rates to util-

ity district customers’s are determined on the basis of recovery of costs and the costs attributed to the debt service for debt incurred primarily to construct the new buildings represent an average of about 1 percent of total costs for each of the next 20 years.

A decision on the future of the Sequim customer service building at 502 S. Still Road and Port Angeles headquarters at 2431 E. U.S. Highway 101, is up in

the air following comple-tion of the new buildings.

Howe said the utility dis-trict rents the Sequim build-ing and staff are still deter-mining “how to best serve Sequim and Port Angeles given our new facility.”

The utility district’s former office at 410 E. Washington St., is expected to be razed during the first quarter of 2015, Howe said.

After 27 years as the health officer for Clallam County, Dr. Tom Locke announced on Dec. 10 that he was resigning effec-tive Jan. 31.

Locke is leaving his position to become a co-medical director of the Jamestown Family Health Clinic in Sequim.

In this new job, he will contin-ue his work with the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe in developing and enforcing the tribe’s public health code and take on new duties for program development,

quality assurance and medical supervision of the clinic’s diverse ser-vices.

Locke will share medical director r e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s with Drs. Larri Ann Mishko and Paul Cunningham, the current co-medical directors of the clinic.

“It has been a great honor to serve as Clallam County health officer for the past 27 years,”

said Locke, “but it is now time to recruit and hire a new county health officer. I am excited about the opportunity to return to my roots in clinical medicine and focus on the many challenges that face our health care system in the 21st century.”

Locke added, “The Jamestown Family Health Clinic has shown extraordinary leadership in implementing the health care delivery model known as the ‘patient-centered medical home’ and expanding services to meet the primary care needs of Clal-lam County residents.

“Fundamental reform of the health care delivery system is under way at a state and national

level to make it more affordable, improve the patient experience of care and increase the overall health of the community.

“This is a career opportunity I simply could not pass up.”

Locke will continue in his role as Jefferson County health offi-cer, where he has served for the past 18 years. He also serves as

chairman of the board of trust-ees of the Washington Dental Service Foundation and is on a number of statewide health care advisory committees.

Locke has made his home in Clallam County since 1979 and will continue to do so.

Recruitment efforts will be overseen by the Clallam County Department of Human Re-sources.

The Clallam County Board of Health will review the applica-tions and conduct interviews.

Wesley “Wes” Potter Short Jr. passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Sequim, Washington, on December 12, 2014, at the age of 91.

Wes was born September 3, 1923, in Burbank, California.

He married Margaret Alice Benest in 1950 and had three boys.

Wes served in the Navy from 1943 to 1951. Service included WWII duty with 1st Cavalry and two years of that were in the South Pacific (Bismarck Archipelago) as a Signalman; then other ships and stations ending up on a destroyer.

After serving, Wes and Margaret returned to California and fire fighting, living in Burbank, Downey, and Tulare.

In 1977 they relocated to Snohomish County, Washington.

His fire service included Fire Chief of Snohomish Co. Fire District 1 and all other areas of fire service such as Fire Investigation, Prevention, Ladder trucks, etc.

In 1986, after retiring, Wes and Margaret moved to Sequim.

There Wes served on several committees at SPC, now Sequim Community Church, including Deacon, choir and choir president.

Wes loved all music and enjoyed playing the trumpet. He also enjoyed spending time working in his yard.

In 2002 Wes was elected Clallam County Fire Commissioner for District #3, and served a six year term.

Wes joined the Masons in 1963 and had just celebrated 51 years of membership.

He was part of numerous other community organizations including Kiwanis International and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

One of his favorite activities was having breakfast every Wednesday with “The Old Farts Club,” (fellow vets). Sharing memories, war stories and keeping our history alive, was very valuable to him.

We will miss him greatly and he will be forever in our hearts.

Surviving him are his beloved wife of 64 years, Margaret; one sister, Norma Jean Greppen of Simi Valley, California; sons, David (Jill ) of Fortuna, California, Mike (Novlina) of Everett, Washington, and Philip (Mary) of Seattle, Washington; grand daughters Sara and Rebecca; great-grandchildren Rachael, Joel and Titus.

Born and raised on the Olympic Peninsu-la, Ady Crosby is a local through and through. A 2008 Sequim High graduate, Crosby left the peninsula for Western Washington Uni-versity where she studied history and social studies, earning a bachelor’s degree in 2013.

She plans to be a high school teacher in those subjects, but, “I am not in a rush to make that happen,” she says. Currently she works at Starbucks and The Oak Table, only recently returning from a trip abroad.

Instead of jumping into a career, Crosby and boyfriend Neddy Dondup, a Boise native she met at college, decided to save up for a year to go on a two-and-a-half-month trip to see the sights in Europe. The pair left Sept. 4 and saw the sights in 10 different countries before returning Nov. 17.

“Neddy and I had both wanted to travel. His mom was a travel agent, so he’d done traveling. I just kind of wanted to go and I didn’t get a chance to study abroad at school. It just never worked out.

After we graduated, we decided we’d go the next fall. We started to work our butts off and save up thousands of dollars to go spend it all in two and a half months … though the time

(we’d spend there) was very open-ended. We weren’t really sure what we were doing, but we were going to go.

We bought a one-way ticket to Ireland. We had a friend living there, so that was kind of our jumping-off point — which is also a good transition, because they speak English. We knew we wanted to fly into Ireland because it’s cheapest to fly into Ireland, and it’s cheap-est to fly out of Paris. So we kind of did a circle. We kind of just winged it. We bought a couple of big-ticket items ahead of time but basically we just kind of went around, met really cool people and saw lots of museums and sights.

We went to Ireland, Belgium, the Nether-lands, the Czech Republic, Germany, Slove-nia, Italy, Greece, Spain and France.

I’m an ancient history buff and Greece has been my dream to visit. I was really excited about going to the site of Delphi in Greece. It’s about two hours to the west of Athens. It’s kind of this little hillside town and it’s really famous for the Temple of Apollo that was the political, cultural, social center of ancient Greece. It was said even Alexander the Great went there. People would get their oracle read, their futures decided. I’ve read about

Sequim, WA 98382

Sequim evenings come early in De-cember making it hard to resist the impulse to stay in-side, be warm and read in the quiet of a winter night even though it’s only 5 p.m.

On just such an evening I was well into yet another article on Quan-tum Theory in my long quest to understand that everything is a moving part made up of moving parts which are, of course, made up of moving parts.

It’s the kind of reading that can put you to sleep, but on this night I was imagining physicists all over the

world giddy with ex-citement at the rev-elations that can be gained with enough thought, study and inspiration.

I’ve read more than one article which notes the essential illusion-ary nature of all things due to this const a nt move-ment. Just at the

brink of my mind exploding at the thought that the chair I was sit-ting in didn’t exist, I heard sounds outside.

Someone or something was step-ping on broken limbs and rocky landscape causing shifts of dirt and stones. I listened closely. It was more

than two feet, possibly four and something heavy-footed at that. I peered out and saw a horn … A-ha, a deer or an elk.

Only, I heard crying as if someone were lost. I put on a heavy sweater, grabbed a flashlight and crept out-side trying my best not to make sudden noises.

“Hello, hello,” I called gently with the same tone I use with hum-mingbirds.

Sniffle, sigh, snort came the reply.I got closer and stopped at the

sight of a horse the color of purple washed with silver-streaked grey highlights and sprinkled with tiny yellow spots, some of which spar-kled. Unbelievable! Not possible! It must be the moonlight. Or maybe my mind did explode.

The horse turned its head and I

froze on the spot. Rising from the forehead of the horse was a pointed horn, although the horn was slightly bent. Big black eyes surveyed me and spilled tears, each big enough to fill an espresso cup. I can imagine what you are thinking but I had not had any stimulant since my morning coffee and had yet to have a glass of wine.

I admit to being impressionable but this is too much for even me.

Sniffle, sigh, snort. “I am useless.”My unicorn illusion was talking!“Useless? Why, what do you

mean?” I answered hoping no one was watching.

Unicorn turned and his/her horn sagged a bit more. “I‘ve been retired to Sequim.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

FROM THE WEB• The City of Sequim looks to rent two properties north

of civic center to stop criminal activity (Dec. 18)The police can take care of it. But the criminals, druggies

and homeless people will still continue using these places. It’s a good idea to deter the crime from that area. — Darcey Beck

Gee, why don’t the police take care of this? That is what they are paid to do, then the city doesn’t have to waste the money to lease it? DUH. — Diane Clementi

That’s brilliant. So much smarter than hiring more police. What about all the other low rent areas in Sequim? — Mike Blouin

I simply cannot stop think-ing about Leah Crabtree, the 9-year-old girl who celebrated her birthday last month by donating 200 pounds of food to the Sequim Food Bank.

Instead of birthday gifts, Leah asked friends and family to give gifts of food “for kids that don’t have what she has.” It’s a tradition she began when she reached the wise and mature age of 7. (See article in the Sequim Gazette, “Donations in lieu of birthday gifts,” page A-11, Dec. 3, 2014 edition.)

As someone who has been involved in nonprofit work for years, I nearly swooned with delight as I read Leah’s story. Especially the paragraph where she asserts that she “wants to keep on doing it because it makes her happy.”

Leah’s story offers a timely reminder about that which epitomizes the American spirit. She focus-es our awareness on those in our community who

lack sufficient resources to meet basic needs, like food, shelter and health care. We can gripe about how commercialized the holidays have become, but Leah reminds us that year-end charitable giving is an American tradition.

It’s no secret that year-end is the most fruitful time for fund-raising. Organizations can make or break annual revenue goals based on year-end gifts or the lack thereof. These days, nonprofits

everywhere endure increasing pressure to raise more money through donations from individuals, especially smaller organizations that serve vast needs in our rural community.

Millions of Americans enthusiastically give their financial support to help community nonprofits help others. Although, many of us wait until the last minute to make our year-end contributions.

In fact, 30 percent, of the projected $300 billion in total annual donations to U.S. charities are made

during the month of December — with 10 percent or $30 billion made during the year’s last 48 hours!

The strength of our local safety net of health and human services organizations depends sig-nificantly on private donations to supplement funding from other sources. This holds true for the array of organizations that contribute to the quality of life in our community, enrich us culturally, conserve our heritage, protect the environment, offer educational and recreational programs for our youth and care for abandoned and stray animals. Not to mention the numerous faith organizations, trade associations, sports clubs, our local tribes … the list goes on.

I’m privileged to work with the Olympic View Community Foundation, a 501(c) 3 organization whose mission it is “to improve the quality of life in our community by matching people who care with causes that matter.”

Our mission requires us to cultivate relation-ships with nonprofit leaders and to steward

donor relations. We also strive to strengthen local nonprofits with leadership and sector-specific training programs to increase the collective community impact of donor dollars on services rendered. It’s no small task.

Right here in Clallam County, well over 100 nonprofit organiza-tions exist to improve our collective quality of life with a combined value of more than $90 million.

it so long and I’ve seen pictures. I already knew the architectural site was going to be great but the actual town of Delphi is so beauti-ful. I was not expecting it to be that gorgeous.

The Parthenon was also cool. I was like, ‘This is where Western Civilization stemmed from, es-sentially. How awesome!’

One of my highlights was Meteora, in Greece. There, the Greek Orthodox nuns and monks decided to build little monasteries on these rocks. They used to have rope ladders to get up there so no one could get up there. They just wanted to live their life in peace, do their monk thing.

There are six monasteries left, all of the built in the 13th century. The monks and nuns are still liv-ing the same lifestyle. You can hike around — they still have all the monk trails. The sunsets in Greece are stupidly pretty.

Slovenia reminded me a lot of Washington state. It has the Alps, it has the beach right there, it has forests and cities. It has this cool kind of Washington feel.

Neddy had picked out some things he wanted to do. He’s a home brewer, so he’s really into

City shouldn’t be in bailout businessThe city of Sequim has no business leasing property from

Mr. Fairclough to resolve his financial problems. He purchased the homes as an investment and the

results have been unfortunate. The deteriorated condition of the units and the problems with noise and damage are Mr. Fairclough’s responsibility.

If the problems are serious enough, the city should order the owner to resolve the issues and if he declines, condemna-tion proceeding should be started. The owner already has de-clined an exorbitant offer, and if the property is condemned, the owner should receive fair payment corresponding to similar lots in the area, less costs to demolish the units.

The “out of the box solution” is really much like bailing out Wall Street with taxpayers’ money. (City manager Steve) Burkett’s problem would go away, but Sequim taxpayers would be bailing out Mr. Fairclough’s bad business decisions.

Gerald CarpenterSequim

‘Global warning’ a false ideologyAl Gore did not invent “Global Warming,” but he provided

a major lift to the false political dogma.The government brings its whole weight against those

who prove it false. Those who strive for a one-party, state-controlled, totalitarian nation, a “People’s Republic” were encouraged by the excuse to nationalize Education for the young and impressionable. The goal of most of these Statists includes neither the People as having any say, nor is it planned to be a Republic in the sense of being governed by elected rather than ruled by a self-anointed dictator, as Obama is striving to be. But clearly that is the goal of ultra-liberals. And “Global Warning” became their watchword. With their unquestioned control of air, water and the sources of all power that man depends upon. And, of course, including control of Health and Welfare.

The lack of true government support for manmade global warming is instead now referred to as “Climate Change” (the natural cyclical cooling and warming throughout the Earth’s life) continuing to use it for the $22 billion annual costs of the false ideologic supported by the innocent and ignorant.

None of this is possible without the compliant News Me-dia performing as the propaganda machine in its Hitlerian role. Hiding, rather than exposing governmental abuses of power. Additionally, censorship is accomplished with care-ful selection of wording, such as Obama accomplishes so deftly, disguising real meaning and intent. Or the media downplaying or just ignoring the growing unlawful sei-zures of power, as often also does Congress.

“And … ” I urged, “how does that work for a unicorn?”

“I don’t know, I thought we lived forever in the magic land of children who play and dream.”

“Can’t you still be that? I don’t understand.”

“In Sequim?!”“Well, sure. I saw a child

at Walmart just two weeks ago,” I teased.

Seeing the unicorn wasn’t laughing and his/her horn bend even more, I quickly said, “Just joking, there is a school that teaches many children just three miles

from here. Besides, there are a few adults that could use a bit of magic and fantasy in their lives.”

“Oh,” said unicorn and, to my surprise, his/her horn straightened a bit and some of the yellow spots began to sparkle.

“You should see the center of town with all the holiday lights. Santa comes just after Thanksgiving!”

More spots turned to sparkle, grey started turning to silver and the horn stood straighter yet.

“Not everyone in Sequim is old and retired and those that are often volunteer in ways that make children’s lives better. Where were you

before that you would think that about Sequim?”

“I was happy in Se-attle; I had the perfect spot around the viaduct. Did you know that a number of homeless children are around there?”

“Yes, a perfect place for magic and hope for chil-dren,” I said. “What hap-pened?”

Looking sad again, Uni-corn said, “A strange hu-mongous drill named Big Bertha came to town and started drilling causing the ground to shift. We all had to move and I landed here.”

“Oh, right, I read about it,” I said, feeling glad that Unicorn landed in our yard

and not in our mailbox. “But what made you think Sequim was only for the retired and old?”

“Well, we do read lists of the 10 best places to do any-thing,” Unicorn said, look-ing as if I just didn’t get the lives of unicorns — which, of course, I don’t.

I said in my most sincere way, “I have told you truth about Sequim and you will be happy here, especially during holidays.”

His/her horn straight-ened fully, all the yellow spots turned to sparkle and grey to silver. Unicorn heaved a big sigh and disap-peared.

I soon found myself in

my chair and felt as if I were awakening from a dream. Yes, that was it, it was a dream.

My husband came in and wondered, “What’s that in your hair?”

I looked in a mirror and saw sparkle!

Silently I thanked Uni-corn, illusion or not, for the magic and wished him/her and you Happy All Days!

Wishing those who made it to the end of this story

and those that didn’t the magic and joy of the holi-days!

donor relations. We also strive to strengthen local nonprofits with leadership and sector-specific training programs to increase the collective community impact of donor dollars on services rendered. It’s no small task.

Right here in Clallam County, well over 100 nonprofit organiza-tions exist to improve our collective quality of life with a combined value of more than $90 million.

About 35 agencies provide $67 million in health and human services to men, women and chil-dren in need. Another 28 spend over $20 million protecting our environment, wildlife, and res-cuing animals. Seven visual and performing arts and heritage or-ganizations stimulate our minds and senses with programs and projects with a combined value of about $550,000. Last and not least, 10 organizations provide critical educational, recreational and care programs for youth to the tune of $2.5 million.

If one is poised to give, but needs help establishing philanthropic goals or identifying nonprofit organizations that might help one meet those goals, OVCF is here to help.

A useful rule of thumb is to select two or three areas of giving, such as human services, environmental conservation and the arts. Depend-ing on the amount of money one has budgeted to donate, identify one or more nonprofits that fall into each category. Make sure the nonprofit is a recognized 501(c)3 with which one is familiar and that

it can demonstrate results in its selected cause.

There are many avenues for charitable giving: cash, check, credit card, online fundraising, traditional year-end mail appeals. It’s best to consult a financial advi-sor if considering gifts of stock, life insurance or a contribution from an IRA. And, to maximize one’s tax deductions, make the gift by midnight Dec. 31.

As Leah reminds us, giving feels good and it brings out the best in us. Perhaps that’s why the holiday season seems to lift folks up; they

smile more. So, do yourself a fa-vor and give from your heart this holiday season. In the end it doesn’t matter how much you give or where you give … you’ll feel so much bet-ter for it!

Neddy had picked out some things he wanted to do. He’s a home brewer, so he’s really into

beer. He wanted to do Belgium and Germany and the Czech Republic. We went on a scavenger hunt to find this ‘Best Beer in the World’ in Belgium. It’s called Westvleteren. There’s a monas-tery that brews it in northeast Belgium. It’s very rare and you’re not supposed to resell it. We did finally find it. I think that was exciting for Neddy.

We went to Octoberfest in Mu-nich. You hear about those ladies with the giant beer steins … those things are huge. You have to hold it double-handed because it’s so heavy. We didn’t really get to explore Germany itself and I wish we would have had more time to explore. Next time we’ll do more.

We went to a resistance mu-seum in Amsterdam. That was one of my favorite museums (but) it was horrible and so upsetting. We read every single blurb or box, the stories of survivors.

Neddy’s also a very analytical person so he just soaked up all the information. I enjoyed the muse-ums, but two-and-a-half, three hours is enough for me.

We were super fortunate with the weather, with only four days of rain.

We ended up renting bikes. I’m not a biker, so that was a little scary for me. Neddy’s a really good biker so my confidence gained as

we went on.The language barriers weren’t

so bad. In Greece there was a little more confusion because their alphabet is all so different. Some-times we had moments of panic with buses and trains not showing up when they say they’re going to.

The people in Europe were great. Irish people were the most welcoming. In France, we were kind of lost and trying to find our B-and-B, and this Parisian girl comes up and asks, ‘Can I help you?’ We never had any issues about being from the U.S.

If I had to do anything different, I’d try to go off the beaten path more. Some of my favorite things were just wandering around, just seeing the people.

It would be fun to live in Europe for an indefinite amount of time and I’m not done traveling.”

Spreading some Sequim holiday cheer

On Dec. 3, as is its tradi-tion, the cycling groups of Sequim and environs: Spoke Folk, Women on Wheels and Easy Riders decorated their “Charlie Brown” tree on the east side of Sequim on U.S. Highway 101. It is their gift to the people of Sequim and holiday travelers.

The tree is located on the Olympic Discovery Trail and Highway 101 just across from the Happy Valley Road intersection.

The picture shows the tree and the decorating crew. Standing in the tree is Don Hoffman.

Likely the brightest spots each Christmas in and around Sequim can be found on the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe’s properties — The Jamestown Blyn Campus, Longhouse Market, 7 Cedars Casino, Jamestown Medical Center, and The Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course.

“What seems to make the Blyn lights so magical, is our location (with) very little light pollution and that they are visible from (U.S. Highway 101),” said Erick Miller, 7 Cedars Ca-sino assistant marketing director.

Whether you are passing through Blyn or at the golf course for a round, it’s easy to see there’s a lot of care, time and electricity that goes into the annual lighting.

• Lights go up shortly after Thanksgiving through the New Year.

• Usually more than 1 million lights are installed but this year there are more than 2 million lights between the sites.

• A team of 6-10 people from Patrick Walker, Inc., of Port Orchard installs the lights annu-ally over a few weeks.

• Lights are installed at night to check the finished product

• The tribe pays for the lights whereas Walker installs, uninstalls and stores them for the year.

• This photo by Isaac Gautschi is part of 7 Cedars Facebook’s photo contest: Submit a picture of the 7 Cedars Casino Christmas lights at http://woobox.com/qdop2y and get your friends to vote. The picture with the most votes by Dec. 31 wins $200! Ages 18 and up. For more information, visit Facebook.com/7CedarsCasino.

“From the Air: Olympic Pen-insula,” co-authored by local pilot and photographer David Woodcock and nature writer, poet and essayist Tim McNulty, is back for a second tour of the Olympic Peninsula from a birds-eye view.

Through Woodcock’s photo-graphs and McNulty’s thought-provoking captions and essays on the area’s natural history, the book documents the Olympic Peninsula’s diverse landscapes from sea level and river valleys to mountain peaks.

Following the success of the first edition released in 2010, Woodcock became inspired to print a second edition this year after capturing some additional photographs.

“When Tim McNulty and I de-cided to do this book I had been shooting for about four years and

there were some areas of the pen-insula that needed to be included in the book that I had not yet pho-tographed,” Woodcock said. “I did the best I could in our timeframe but there were a few photos that I was not completely happy with from an artistic standpoint.”

Additionally, since the first edi-tion, Woodcock, accompanied by the infamous Japanese wildlife photographer Mitsuaki Iwago, took flight together and captured Mount Olympus at daybreak.

“We took off at first light to catch the sunrise color on Mount Olympus which was spectacular!” Woodcock said. “In addition to that we photographed a climbing party heading for the summit in the gold- and rose-colored light. Amazing!”

The desire to improve upon some of the photographs in the

original printing, his experience with Iwago and shooting Mount Olympus and a desire to include photos of the Elwha and Glines Canyon dam removal projects, all spurred Woodcock to pursue the second edition.

“Flying around the peninsula is a wonderful experience and there always is something new to see,” Woodcock said. “This book marks

a point in history and I suppose years from now it will be a refer-ence of the way things were.”

The second edition of “From the Air: Olympic Peninsula” is avail-able at Sunny Farms, Co-op Farm & Garden, Brian’s Sporting Goods & More, Purple Haze Lavender and Nash’s Farm Store. The book also can be found at many loca-tions within Port Angeles.

The original musical piece, entitled “Man in the Mirror,” was com-posed by Elaine Gard-ner-Morales, M.M. It is performed by the

2014 Peninsula College Vocal Jazz Ensemble

The photography section of the journal features the work of Eduardo Jaramillo, Ph.D. In a photo essay entitled “Winter City,” Jaramillo captures an abandoned U.S. military installation, hoping others will ex-perience the abandonment through his photos and be reminded of the cost and resources that once kept such military facilities vibrant.

Shelli Robb-Kahler, a Sequim native and the executive director of the Sequim-Dunge-ness Valley Chamber of Commerce for three

years, said she plans to spend Christmas with her family. Robb-Kahler says she’s a “proud mom of two awesome, loving, and tal-ented sons – Brady Robb (29) and Colin Kahler (23).” They along with husband/ father Marty plan

to eat an unconventional Christmas meal this year but keep it low key.

Going into 2015, Robb-Kahler will work with about 450 local businesses through the chamber but before then she’ll answer some Random Questions.

Question 8: What’s your favorite food? Robb-Kahler: Dark chocolate. It’s satisfy-

ing and a guilty pleasure. Plus it’s an excuse to say it’s good for you.

Question 39: Mustaches? Cool or not? Robb-Kahler: Not. I prefer a clean shaven

face.

Question 20: What’s your dream job?Robb-Kahler: I’d be on staff at a wed-

ding dress shop like Kleinfeld Bridal where I help put people in wedding dresses. I love it and “Say Yes to the Dress” is one of my favorite shows.

Peninsula College’s “Find Your Voice” Play Festival is back and P.C. Drama and Theater director Dr. Lara Starcevich is looking for some 10-minute manu-scripts from community

members who would like to see one of their own original one-act plays brought to life on the stage of the Peninsula College Little

Theater during winter quarter.

Manuscripts are due Jan. 12.

“We are in need of your fabulously crafted and witty words, words of wis-dom, words of genius,” says Starcevich, noting that anyone and everyone is wel-come to submit their own 10-minute-or-under script.

Open auditions for the plays selected for the festi-val are set from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Jan. 21-22 at the Peninsula College Little Theater. Show dates are Feb. 27-28 and March 1.

As is usual for the Find Your Voice Play Festival, each script must include three random objects or names. This year’s “must” words are “Canada, a can-dle and Rick Flare the wrestler.”

The “how/why/when /where you choose to insert the words into your script is entirely up to you,” says Starcevich, and adds, “If

you’d like to blame anyone for ‘why these words,’ then you can lay the blame on my Introduction to Theatre course this fall, a merry bunch of jolly lads and lass-es. So, dip that pen in some ink and start writing.”

Of course, there always is some “fine print” one needs to read and in this case it is the submission guidelines. Scripts should be 10 typed-and-numbered pages with your name and return address on the first page. And the three key words or phrases — Canada, a candle and Rick Flare the wrestler — must be tucked somewhere into the script.

Starcevich says the rea-son the festival is held each year is to encourage people to push their own limits and discover their potential.

“There are so many amazing writers out there,” she says, and she encour-ages anyone who is inter-ested to submit their work, including “those who are already familiar with the craft of playwriting as well as those who just love to write but may not realize that their talent could be put to wonderful use in the theater as well.

“We hope to attract more and more folks to the art of playwriting and play production with each new festival,” Starcevich says.

Family Flicks resume at the Sequim Library at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 3, with a free screening of the classic and col-orful “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.” The perfect confection for gray winter days, Willy Wonka’s mes-sage encourages all to have fun and dream in the face of impossible odds. Gene Wilder captures Wonka’s eccentric spirit with wit and charm as he delivers lines adapted from the beloved Roald Dahl novel. The 1971 G-rated movie is an uplifting adventure that will warm your heart and leave the entire family with a smile.

On Feb. 7 at 2 p.m., Family Flicks con-tinue with a showing of the 1963 G-rated film “The Incredible Journey.” This 1963 live-action Walt Disney produc-tion is based on the eponymous novel by Sheila Burnford. Filmed in Ontario, Canada, the film follows the adventure of three pets — Luath the Labrador re-triever, Bodger the bull terrier, and Tao the Siamese cat — as they journey 250 miles through the Canadian wilderness to find their way home.

Family Flicks will bring “Toy Story 3” to the screen on March 7 at 2 p.m. In the latest chapter of the popular toys-come-to-life saga, Woody, Buzz Lightyear and their friends attempt to escape from the dismal Sunnyside Daycare Center, where the toys are held prisoner by a pink, strawberry-scented teddy bear.

Offered the first Saturday of each month through May, Family Flicks provides fam-ily entertainment, popcorn and fun movie trivia at an affordable price — free!

Question 37: Have you been in the news-paper before?

Robb-Kahler: My face appears in it too

many times. I’d rather be behind the camera.

Bonus Question 1: What’s your favorite meal on Christmas?

Robb-Kahler: Since we eat a pretty ordinary meal on Thanksgiving, my sons and I love doing a meal out of the ordinary for Christmas. For the second year it’s a Hispanic theme with things like chicken enchiladas and pork mole (mo-lay).

Question 9: What’s the last thing you read?Robb-Kahler: “The Sequim-Dungeness

Valley Chamber of Commerce policy and procedures guidelines” again.

Bonus Question 2: If you could shape shift into anyone, who would you become?

Robb-Kahler: In the spirit of Christmas, I would probably choose Santa Claus. I totally believe in the statement that “it’s better to give than receive” and I truly enjoy shopping and buying for others. Plus I adore children.

My second choice would probably be my “grand cat” as he is incredibly spoiled and his toughest decision to make during the day is which sunny location in which to nap (which is) polar opposite to my world.

In an effort to bring a tradition of National Poetry Month to Sequim, two local poets look to start a poetry com-petition this April.

Ruth Marcus and Judy Duncan plan the Rainshadow Poetry Competition 2015 with winners doing a live reading at Olympic Theatre Arts, 414 N. Sequim Ave., at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 26.

While the event may be months ahead, organizers have set deadlines for both children and adults due Jan. 23 with selected winners being published in a poetry book.

“(We hope) it’ll become an annual event,” Marcus said. “We want to inspire people to write and read poetry. There are so many diverse styles of poetry that we want to help inspire people find what inspires them.”

Marcus said her group borrows its model from Bainbridge Island’s com-petition that’s been going since the mid-1990s.

“This is a wonderful collaborative community concept,” she said. “(Olym-pic Theatre Arts) has been willing to host our reading and be our nonprofit sponsor so donations are tax deductible and (the North Olympic Library System) agreed to host our poetry workshops.”

The competition is dedicated to the

memory of Sequim’s late Jim Fisher, who was a well-known poet and profes-sor at Peninsula College.

“Jim was an advocate for all writers – poetry or prose,” Marcus said.

“To dedicate this to him really is something that speaks to Jim for who he is in this community. He inspired a lot of students at the college and in the

writer’s groups.”The competition is open to people of

all ages in Clallam and Jefferson Coun-ties and will be judged in children and adult categories.

Marcus said she hopes for 64 entries to go in the published book that will go to winning entries. Judging will be blind from four jurors including Tim McNulty, Sarah Zale and others to be announced.

Entries cost $5 for students, $10 for adults and $7 for seniors 65 and up. Each entry can include up to three poems and

at most one selected for the book and live reading. For information on entering and contest guidelines, see wideawake-publishing.com/poetry.html or http://lighterview.net/poetry/or call 681-2205.

When decorated men’s soccer coach Andrew Chapman left Peninsula College in July, Peninsula College staff already were in the midst of recruiting players for the fall. Not wanting to put forth a national search for a new men’s coach at the same time, P.C. officials had Kanyon Anderson, the Pirates’ women’s coach, lead both clubs this fall.

That one-season arrangement is about to close.

The college is actively seeking a new men’s head coach position with an initial applica-tion closing date of Jan. 12 and goal of filling the position by Feb. 1, according to Rick Ross, Director of Athletics and Student Programs.

“It was by far the best scenario to keep stability to the program,” Ross said of Ander-son’s dual role. “He knows all the guys. Kanyon went above and beyond. (We said) we’ll get through the season. He did a great job and worked really hard with both programs.”

In 2013, both squads won Northwest Athletic Asso-ciation of Community College titles and followed that up with a pair of play-off appearances under Anderson, with the men’s team advancing to the quarterfinals and the women taking second place.

Anderson, an English instructor at P.C., will remain at the college and return to his role as head coach of the women’s Pirate program — one that’s captured four top-two finishes in the NWAC playoffs in five years of existence.

Peninsula men’s team finished 2014 with a record of 13-2 with four ties, eventually bow-ing out in the quarterfinals. The women’s team went 19-2-2 and was the NWAC title runner-up squad. Both teams won West Divi-sion titles, the men for the sixth straight year and the women for the fourth straight year.

One of the challenges for Anderson last season, Ross noted, was an uneven number of men’s and women’s soccer teams in the NWAC having P.C.’s men headed to a game in one locale and the women to another in a short time span. That kind of situation included last season’s NWAC playoffs, with the men playing in Idaho on a Saturday and the women playing in Port Angeles the fol-lowing day.

“We felt like it was necessary to have a head coach overseeing (the men’s) program,” Ross said.

The job is posted online at NCAA and NWAC sites. It’s a half-time head coach position and half-time teaching position at the college. While that eliminates some potential candidates, Ross said P.C.’s reputa-tion — both squads have earned national rankings in the past two seasons — should lead the college to strong candidates.

“That really helps us — we’re going to be able to land a pretty great coach because we’re a nationally ranked soccer program,” Ross said.

“I suspect we’ll have a pretty full field (of candidates),” he said. “We already are getting a pretty high volume of calls.”

One of the key aspects the college athletic staff will be looking for in a new men’s head coach is an ability to recruit off the Olympic Peninsula,” Ross said.

“We have to be able to recruit the entire West Coast in order to be competitive in the NWAC,” he said. “That will be one of the drivers.”

Other aspects the P.C. staff is looking for is the ability to develop young talent and an eagerness to adapt to Peninsula College life.

“We want some one who really wants to be here,” Ross said. “We’ve been able to land that with our previous hires.”

While the search is on, Ross named assistant coach Omar Anderson to serve as interim coach to continue to train the team during Winter Quarter. He also will lead the men’s recruiting effort, Ross said.

“Omar is an outstanding young coach and certainly would have been considered for the opening, but the instructional component requires teaching creden-tials,” Ross said.

Chapman left Peninsula College to pursue a career in soccer recruiting at Custom College Recruiting in Eliza-bethtown, Ky., after 11 years and back-to-back NWAC titles at P.C. He was an associate faculty member who taught predominantly physical education courses.

While the score may not show it in the recent 58-18 home loss to the North Mason Bulldogs on Dec. 16, some Sequim wrestlers continue to shine on the mats.

Kevyn Ward (152 pounds) and Michael Latimer (220) took home wins with Ward pinning Jackson Odette in 4:36 while Latimer won in overtime. He was locked in a 4-4 tie with Con-nor Lundberg until a takedown gave him the 6-4 win.

Sven Wiker, 145 pounds, also earned a win with a pin in 1:36 over Eugene Macero.

Freshman Ben Newell (113) fought his way to an 11-10 deci-sion over Cruz Pedro-Alonzo. He was up 5-0 at the end of the first period, 7-4 at the end of the second and had a reversal in the finals seconds for the win.

Coach Charles Drabek said many of their weight classes are filled with freshmen and sophomores still learning the ropes while Latimer and Ward are the only tenured boys varsity wrestlers.

“Kevyn is getting his confi-dence at 152 pounds,” Drabek said.

“He’s considering going down a weight class but I think he can hang with these guys. In the postseason we’ll see where he’s at.”

While the Wolves may lack a lot of experience, their junior varsity squad stepped up big with several wins and pins against the Bulldogs.

Moving up the weight classes, Levi Foy (106) pinned Dalton Emerick in 43 seconds, Sophia Cornell (113) pinned Jacob Morre in 1:55, Jillian Hutchin-son-Blouin (120) won in a major decision 11-1 over Skylar Cone, AJ Avila (132) pinned Chase Evans in 33 seconds and Kelvin Solis-Vilasenor (220) pinned

Olympic’s Trojans snapped Sequim’s four-game win streak and earned a win on the Wolves’ home court on Dec. 19 to take an early lead in the Olympic League standings.

Trojan Makaleb McInnis snapped a 46-46 tie with a score to spur an Olympic 8-2 as the road squad upended the Wolves, 56-48.

The Lady Wolves started last week with a lopsided win over the Port Townsend Redhawks on Dec. 15.

Jordan Miller led their attack with 14 points while Adrienne Hag-gerty had 13 and eight rebounds in the 61-24 win.

Sequim never trailed as they went up 18-13 at the end of one and the Bucs couldn’t recover, scoring only three, four and four per quarter. Nine Wolves scored a bucket including McKenzie Bentz with three points and six steals and Ella Christiansen with six points and eight boards.

The Kingston Buccaneers came to Sequim on Dec. 17 to outshoot the Wolves in a 61-35 win.

Head coach Evan Still said the Bucs shot extremely well and Sequim’s girls didn’t do a good job

of contesting shots. The Wolves shot 14/45 in field goals,

1/15 from 3-pointers and 6/21 from the free throw line.

Drew Clark led Kingston with 21 while Haggerty had 12 points and seven rebounds for the Wolves. Kylee Williams also had seven rebounds.

Still said he’s proud of his bench

“(She’s) rebounded and scored at times when we needed it most,” he said.

“Hailey Lester (seven points) also

played well for us. I thought that she was very aggressive and that is when she is at her best.”

Trojans triumphSequim also traveled to Bremerton

to play the Olympic Trojans to a 40-31 loss, which moves the Wolves to fourth place and 1-2 in the Olympic League

and 4-4 overall. Olympic remains undefeated and

Interested in lacrosse?Interested in playing lacrosse? Learn more about

this fastest growing sport in the nation. The season is February-May for boys and girls

teams in grades 6-12. Meet at 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 3, at the Agnew

Good Neighbor’s Hall, 1240 N. Barr Road, Agnew.

Tops at Turkey TrotSequim’s Jackson Oliver took top honors in the

annual 5k/10k Turkey Trot 10k on Nov. 27, with Emily Ellefson, also of Sequim, taking the women’s

division and seventh overall. Sequim’s Kristopher Shold was the overall win-

ner of the 5k while Ariel Wilhite of Port Angeles won the women’s division (sixth overall).

The event, sponsored by Sequim Gym, raised funds for local food banks.

Despite having just sev-en athletes in the pool, Sequim’s boys swimming squad found some silver linings in their 115-50 loss to the Olympic Trojans on Jan. 18.

Senior Eric Prosser trimmed his season’s best marks in the 100 backstroke and 100 fly events, earning first and second in those events, and continues to close in on postseason-qualifying marks.

Wendall Lorenzen cut 10 seconds off his best time in the 200 free (2:41) to take third in the event and a full 14 seconds off his previous best in the 100 free (1:13).

Andrew Hansted snagged

third place in his first try at the 100 breaststroke with a 1:39 finish.

“He’s a natural,” Sequim coach Linda Moats said. “With training and hard work, he might be able to qualify for districts this year.”

Sequim’s 400 free relay team — Eric and Charlie Prosser, Lorenzen and Bran-don Grow — posted their best time this season with what Moats called solid swims for all legs. Eric Prosser capped the effort with a 55-second anchor leg.

The Wolves (0-3) are out of the pool until Jan. 7, when they host the North Kitsap Vikings (2-1) and Jan. 15 when they host Klahowya Eagles (0-1).

Wolves see improvements in loss to OlympicBOYS SWIM/DIVE

Patrick Huble in 2:21. “It was exciting to watch them,” Dra-

bek said. “With Levi Foy, I saw a fire in him. He was a burning engine out there.”

He said he was also impressed with Hutchinson-Blouin’s match.

Several district and state level

girl wrestlers, like Cornell, often don’t have other varsity girl oppo-nents in league matches like this so they must wrestle boys in these meets and travel out of district for opportunities against varsity girl wrestlers.

So far this season, Drabek feels con-fident about his team but many of the newer wrestlers are doing mistakes over and over that are preventable

with more matches and experience. “A lot of the kids are thinking

just one-dimensionally,” he said. “It’s just hands or feet but we’ll get there.”

Results from the team’s trip to the Hammerhead Invite on Dec. 19-20 at the Kitsap Sun Pavilion were not available at press time. The team travels to North Mason’s Hawkins Memorial Tournament Dec. 26-27.

from the field (35 percent) and the Sequim team shot just 18-of-60 (30 percent). Sequim also shot just 33 percent (five of 15) from the foul line.

Barry finished with a team-high 10 rebounds and Josh McConnaughey added a pair of blocks.

Wolves KO KingstonNo road woes here.Sequim’s Wolves jumped

out to an eight-point lead by halftime and used suffocating defense to hold Kingston to just two points in a 59-40 win Dec. 17 in Kingston.

Bailey Earley scored 19 points, Barry had 14 points and six assists, and Dustin Bates sank a pair of 3-pointers en route to 10 points as Sequim locked down its second Olym-pic League win of the season.

Sequim outscored Kingston 16-12 in the first quarter and 15-11 in the second before a 9-2 run in the third quarter sealed the win.

Barry led the defensive ef-fort with nine rebounds, six steals and two blocks. McCon-naughey had nine rebounds and Earley added eight boards and a block. Liam Young led Kingston with 11 points.

Looking aheadSequim plays a pair of non-

league games versus I-5 cor-ridor teams, with Ingraham on Dec. 29 and Sammamish on Dec. 30.

The Wolves are at North Mason Jan. 6 and Neah Bay Jan. 7 before hosting Port Angeles on Jan. 9.

On Thursday, Nov. 6, the Sequim PC Users Group donated $1,200 to the Sequim High School Robotics Club.

The Sequim PC Users Group “pro-motes the acquisition, understand-ing and application of technological skills in the community.”

This group refurbishes computers and other devices, teaches people how to use them and then donates those devices to those who need them.

The PC Users Group has been sponsoring the robotics club as well as other Sequim High School clubs over the past few years and their sup-port has continued to make a better and more effective learning environ-ment for many high school scholars.

For more information about the Sequim PC Users Group, visit www.spcug.net.

The Sequim High School Robotics Club also is known as Skynet Robotics NW and FRC Team 3826. This robotics club has been participat-ing in the FIRST Robot-ics Competition for five years and counting. In the past two years this club has been to the semifinals and quarterfinals at regional and district competitions, respectively.

Every year on the first Saturday in January, FIRST announces what that year’s competition is going to be. The club then has six weeks to design, pro-gram and construct a robot from scratch

that will complete that challenge. During the process of building

the robot, club members will receive hands-on experience in programming, design, welding, electronics and many other skills that di-rectly relate to careers in business, multimedia and STEAM (Science, Tech-nology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics).

In addition to techni-cal skills, members and

mentors will gain invaluable skills such as the ability to work with a team, communication and gracious professionalism.

After the robot is completed, it will weigh just under 120 pounds and it will have about $5,000 worth of parts on it. In total the club will

need around $15,000 for robot parts, travel, food, registration fees, etc., per year to participate in the two district competitions.

When the club goes to the regional competition it will need an addi-tional $6,000.

Thankfully, community groups and businesses like Sequim High School and the Sequim PC Users Group have been very supportive of the Robotics Club enabling members to participate in these events.

For more information about the Sequim High School Robotics Club, visit www.skynetroboticsnw.weebly.com.

As a parent, one of your most important goals is to raise children who become independent and self-reliant people. Certainly as babies, your child relies on you. As your child grows and becomes more independent, he still depends on you for love, protection, guidance and support.

As your child reaches adoles-cence and moves toward adulthood, he become less dependent on you and gains greater independence in all aspects of his life. The role you have as a parent is to help him learn in more and more ways to become an independent person.

A child isn’t able to become in-dependent on her own. She doesn’t have the experience or skill without your help. Independence is a gift you give her that will benefit her the rest of her life. As a parent, you provide your child with essential ingredients for gaining independence:

• The first ingredient is to give your child love and respect. This gives him the confidence to move ahead.

• Then show confidence in his abilities so he will gain confidence in them, too.

• Teach him that he has control and responsibility over his life.

• Provide him guidance and then give him the freedom to make their own decisions.

So how do you do all of this? When is the best age to begin

Robotics Club, under Brad Moore, teacher and club advisor, is an extension of the Career Tech-nical Education (CTE) program and receives the benefit of several experienced volunteer mentors and community sponsorship. In early November, the club was very excited to receive $1,200 from the Sequim PC Users group. This will be applied to the amount needed to participate in the Seattle competition, which can run $10,000-$15,000. Senior Sarah Henry serves as club presi-dent and junior Ryle Lindbergh is vice president. (See story, B-7)

Robotics Club students are prac-ticing for upcoming competition after school by dismantling last year’s robot and reassembling it. Club members will find out on Jan. 2 the task set for competition and will then have about six weeks to build the robot.

Bettina Hoesel’s first-graders answer the question: If you were a snowman, what would you do?

If I were a snow-man, someone would have to build me. The snowgirl would need arms to pick up things and mouths to chew things. Your snowgirl would need hair but some snowmen don’t have hair. Paige Reed

Hello, my name is Emma. I would be a girl, a snowgirl. My nose would be made of a peach! If I were a snowgirl, I would skate, skate, SKATE!!! And I would eat frost and snow and snowflakes. And I would have a snowdog. Her name would be Snowla. In the evening I would build snow people to send to Snowtopalis, and play ‘snow’ with their snow-men. I would be 10 years old, and my job would be to build snow-men. Emma Gilliam

Ione Marcy’s first-graders read all about reindeer and then wrote what they knew about reindeer and created reindeer buddies.

I love reindeer. They can run over fifty miles per hour. You can only give Santa’s reindeer healthy

food. A female rein-deer is also called a doe. Reindeer are also known as cari-bou. Reindeer live on tundras and are her-bivores. The names of the reindeer are Dancer, Cupid, Blit-

zen, Dasher, Rudolph, Comet, Prancer, Vixen and Donner. A male reindeer is called a buck. A baby reindeer is called a fawn and some people think it is a calf, but it is not because that is a cow, but it is really a fawn. Ryan Stites

I know a baby reindeer is called a fawn. A mom rein-deer is called a doe. A father reindeer is called a buck. A rein-deer need magic dust to fly. He gets it from the North Pole. I know reindeer only have horns. The most important thing about reindeer is that they pull Santa’s sleigh. Lucy Spelker

Reindeers can eat broccoli and grapes or carrots. And the reindeers can’t eat chocolate because they will get sick. Deer can run fast and they are strong. Adrian Villicana

I know about reindeer. They carry Santa in his sleigh and gifts to the kids that are nice. Santa gives the reindeers a treat for all the reindeer. They have 8 reindeer and with Rudolph there is 9 reindeer. Only Santa can make reindeer fly. Kalyee Torres

Reindeer can go fifty miles per hour. That’s as speedy as a car on the highway. That’s fast! Santa needs the reindeer because they are swift and strong and they are quick. Koa

AllencastereReindeer run fifty miles. Santa

has eight reindeer, add Rudolph there are nine. Reindeer are very strong. Reindeer have hooves instead of feet. A baby reindeer is called a fawn. The names of the reindeer are Dancer, Dasher, Prancer, Blitzen, Comet and Don-ner and Rudolph. Rudolph is the most important reindeer because he’s smart. Gurshaan Deol

Reindeer eat magic food to fly. Santa give them magic food like apples and oranges. Santa has 8 reindeer. Abraham Herrera

Santa’s reindeer pull Santa’s sleigh to deliver toys. Rudolph has eight more reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh. Santa makes toys. Blake Blanton-Bacchus

As a parent, one of your most important goals is to raise children who become independent and self-reliant people. Certainly as babies, your child relies on you. As your child grows and becomes more independent, he still depends on you for love, protection, guidance and support.

As your child reaches adoles-cence and moves toward adulthood, he become less dependent on you and gains greater independence in all aspects of his life. The role you have as a parent is to help him learn in more and more ways to become an independent person.

A child isn’t able to become in-dependent on her own. She doesn’t have the experience or skill without your help. Independence is a gift you give her that will benefit her the rest of her life. As a parent, you provide your child with essential ingredients for gaining independence:

• The first ingredient is to give your child love and respect. This gives him the confidence to move ahead.

• Then show confidence in his abilities so he will gain confidence in them, too.

• Teach him that he has control and responsibility over his life.

• Provide him guidance and then give him the freedom to make their own decisions.

So how do you do all of this? When is the best age to begin

to teach your child independence and how do you teach it? While each child is different, all children should begin to be taught inde-pendence lessons before they enter kindergarten. These lessons begin with asking if your little one wants eggs or cereal for breakfast.

Independence is being taught when you ask which book she wants the two of you to read to-gether. Each time she is allowed to make her choice she is assert-ing her independence. This is the independence she will ultimately need to find the competence and security to explore the world.

As he grows older, give him chores to help him develop his ability to do things well and to do them independently. Let him make his bed each day or make his lunch to take to school. Even letting him make is own choice about what to wear is developing his indepen-dence. These are ways to learn to be on your own but to do it responsibly.

As she grows into adolescence her independence grows significantly. When she is driving, she is on her own. All the skills you have been working on over the years is put to work. This is the time you fill in the gaps that you hadn’t done earlier.

Here are some basic tips on guid-ing your kids to be progressively independent.

• Provide Opportunities — It is important that parents provide opportunities for their child to practice independence and even improve their decision-making skills. When you pick out your own food for your lunch you soon learn to take responsibility for the deci-sions you made.

• Show How to Make Decisions — Parents and adults should al-low a child to make decisions by giving him choices. This will help him learn how to make tougher decisions as he grows older. Of course, the choices should begin early and be little choices. As your child grows, so does the choices he is allowed to make.

• Boost Child’s Confidence – Parents need to boost the morale and confidence of their child so the child is confident to make decisions and to face the challenges in life. A younger child can be very clingy. As she grows, parents can help decrease this clinginess by helping boost her confidence. Look for what

your child does well and talk about it so she hears what you are saying.

• Model Independence – Chil-dren look up to their parents even when they aren’t doing things the way they should. Good and bad parents all set examples. Let your child see good examples of independence.

• Praise Your Child – Almost every child feels happy if he receives praise for what he does. Each time your child accomplishes some-thing, praise him and let him know how good it is that he has done something so worthwhile. This mo-tivates him to do better and learn to be increasingly independent.

• Develop Problem Solving Skills – As your child develops problem skills her confidence increases and her self-esteem grows.

So start today. No matter what has happened, make a point of improving on your child’s indepen-dence. Make sure you are providing the opportunities for your child to gain confidence which is an under-lying trait of independence.

You need to help. You are es-sential. Help him or her be ready for the “real world” and to find a sense of competence, security and independence within themselves.

BUDDY is a one-year-old, purebred, Rough Collie who had a rough start. His forever home needs to be calm & peaceful and needs a con� dent & playful canine “sibling.” Buddy may be shy at � rst, but in a short time he’ll be cuddling and leaning

into you for pets. Buddy’s obedience skills are awesome! He readily responds to commands and hand signals. And, he’s house-trained with no inappropriate chewing or digging.

CONNER is half boxer and husky. He is a con� dent dog and very true to both of these Breeds traits. He is very mellow and is a devoted companion, loves to snuggle after a nice long walk. He needs to be introduced to other dogs the

correct way and to stay away from dominant male dogs, however is great with submissive females. He will need to live with experienced dog people.

OSSO is a 9 year old purebred American Eskimo and weighs about 25 lbs. He’s such a sweet boy. He enjoys riding in the car, going for walks and just being with his person. He’s good with other dogs and cats too. He knows his basic commands. His enjoys getting
