Sequim Super Kid:
In every community, there are young people who quietly set the tone for what it means to show up with curiosity, kindness, and determination. This month, we are proud to spotlight one of our own: 11-year-old Adrian Lopez, a Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula member and fifth grade student at Helen Haller Elementary School.

Since joining the Carroll C. Kendall Club in 2023, Adrian has become a familiar and welcome presence. Whether he’s diving into computer programming activities, shooting hoops in the gym, or playing any kind of ball game with friends, he brings energy and enthusiasm to everything he does. Staff members say Adrian stands out not just for his interests, but for his character — he’s always willing to lend a hand, volunteers for responsibilities such as setting up the computer lab or the gymnasium for programs and approaches every task with a positive attitude.

Adrian’s interests go far beyond the gym. Outside the Club, he enjoys exploring politics and current events — impressive pursuits for someone his age. When asked what he would do if he were president, Adrian doesn’t hesitate: he’d work toward world peace. It’s a thoughtful answer that reflects both his inquisitiveness and his compassion for others.

He also has a love for geometry, dinosaurs — especially T. rex — and is a big fan of the Jurassic Park movies. And when it comes to sports, Adrian is all in. He plays as often as he can and proudly cheers for his favorite team, the Charlotte Hornets.

Adrian Lopez is a wonderful example of what it means to be a “Sequim Super Kid” — engaged, helpful, and full of potential. His bright outlook and willingness to contribute make him a standout today and a promising leader for tomorrow.

Monika Livingstone of the Blyn/Gardiner area has done work for Atari, Wizards of the Coast, and Hollywood Video through her career. As a lifelong fan of The Beatles, she was tired of looking at her white propane tank and spent about a month painting it after the band's song and movie "Yellow Submarine."

Livingstone grew up in southeast Portland with her father always bringing home and playing records.
“Dad loved all kinds of albums,” Livingstone said.
That included The Beatles.

“I liked most of the music of the 1960s and ‘70s and really had a thing for the Beatles,” she said.
Even decades later, she listens to them daily and when she feels down, she turns to their music, with some of her favorites being “A Hard Day’s Night” and “Help!”

Along with one of the squad’s best records in a few decades, Sequim’s junior varsity baseball team brought together a likely first for the school.

Head coach Dave Campbell and his son Tyler, an assistant coach, are believed to be the first father-son duo that went to Sequim High School and coached a squad together.

Dave Campbell retired from the Sequim Police Department in January and said his son asked him to lead the team calling his first season coaching a “full circle” moment.

“It was a memorable season and I foresee good things happening in the future as this team was very young and never gave up,” he said.

Campbell described the team as “very gutsy and determined.”

The JV squad featured nine freshmen and had three come-from-behind victories to finish 10-8 overall and 7-5 in the Olympic League.

Varsity coach Dave Ditlefsen said JV’s record is one of the best in the past 20 years.

They won five of their last six games of the season, including a season-ending 17-8 win on May 6 against Bremerton at home.

Campbell said they didn’t hit any home runs all season but the Wolves hit three in the last game with Ezra Fitts, Dakota Lowe-Thaens, and Ben Reynolds each hitting one.

A few players also recorded their first hits of the season in that game, he said.

“It’s such a great group,” Campbell said.

Raimey Brewer and Kaiya Robinson led Sequim to a girls league championship by 30 strokes at the Olympic League Girls Golf Championship on May 4 at Kitsap Golf & Country Club.

Driftwood art can be made by anyone, say members of the Olympic Driftwood Sculptors.

Rick Hill, a club member since 2011, said he doesn’t consider himself an artist but he’s drawn to driftwood art.

“If I were just trying to draw a picture, there’s no way I could do that, but with this, the wood takes you where it wants to go,” he said.

Club instructor Tuttie Peetz said she tells people often you don’t have to naturally be an artist.

“Anybody can learn the technique, and for some people, it’s just fun,” she said. “For me, it’s creative, and I probably am an artist to some extent, and some people come for the social.”

Peetz and others established the club in 2008 using “found” wood from clear cuts, beaches, forests, and other areas to create meticulous works of art.

The club’s 30 artists will present at least 80 original pieces at their free, annual Driftwood Art Show from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, May 16, and noon-4 p.m. Sunday, May 17 in the Dungeness River Nature Center, 1943 W. Hendrickson Road in Sequim.

Photographers are welcome. There will also be demonstrations and a Driftwood Boutique inside, and raw wood outside for sale that both support the club’s annual college scholarships for local students going into the arts.
