Outstanding Orca, Special Olympics in spotlight

The Feb. 21 Studium Generale presentation invites the community to celebrate the success of the Clallam County Orcas golf team — including Peninsula College student David Carver and Bill Shea, director of golf/general manager at The Cedars at Dungeness —at the Peninsula College Little Theater, 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd., Port Angeles.

The event is set for 12:35 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

The focus of the presentation is Carver’s journey from helping start a Clallam County Special Olympics Team to becoming a state gold medalist and an inspiration to teammates. Shea notes that Carver “had no knowledge or playing experience” but became a talented player, a coach’s assistant and now an employee at the Sequim golf course.

The presentation begins with an overview of Special Olympics and an introduction to the guest speakers given by Jan Isett, Peninsula College staff member and long-time Special Olympics coach. Information for audience members on how to become involved in Special Olympics in Clallam County will also be included.
