Remaking 3 Crabs

Staff expects pool’s air handler to fully installed by Nov. 1

BY MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

By Nov. 1, the YMCA of Sequim, 610 N. Fifth Ave., should be fully operational, staff say.

Branch manager Kurt Turner said they plan to have a soft opening on Oct. 24 with normal operating hours but certain areas such as the pool and play area may remain closed or on limited hours depending on final construction work.

“We expect the full facility to operate normally beginning Nov. 1,” he said.

The YMCA of Sequim opening follows the closure of the Sequim Aquatic and Recreation Center on Oct. 30, 2015.

Members of the Clallam County Parks and Recreation District 1, the junior taxing district that owns SARC, voted to turn the facility’s management over to the Olympic Peninsula YMCA. Sequim’s membership desk will open for the Olympic Peninsula YMCA’s Y-to-Y event on Saturday, Oct. 1. Participants will leave from the YMCA of

Douglas J. Allison, a former private school teacher who pleaded guilty to raping and molesting two 10-year-old students, was sentenced Sept. 14 to 26½ years in prison.

The 55-year-old was the head teacher and principal of Mountain View Christian School near Sequim. He pleaded guilty last month to two counts of first-

degree child molestation and two counts of first-degree child rape for crimes that occurred during his classes last fall and winter.

Clallam County Superior Court Judge Christopher Melly sentenced Allison to 318 months — the top end of the standard sentencing range — and a life of community custody.

“I think that justice deserves it, but I think more importantly, the girls do,” Melly said.

Chief Criminal Deputy Michele

Devlin and defense attorney Harry Gasnick of Clallam Public Defender had recommended a minimum 288-month, or 24-year, sentence as part of a negotiated plea agreement.

“On a positive note, and there are precious few positive notes in this case, I appreciate the fact that the girls will not go through the horror of going to trial,” Melly said, choking back tears.

Sequim’s ‘Walk for Poor’ slated for Saturday at Carrie Blake Park Proceeds aid those living in poverty

MOON Sept. 23 Sept. 30 Oct. 8 Oct. 15

SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF

Third Quarter New Moon First Quarter Full Moon

Sequim’s poor aren’t always visible — but they exist, says Mike Flynn.

“They live in their cars or they camp,” he says.

Flynn, president of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, often comes face-to-face with that reality as he works for the society that has a crew of volunteers in Sequim and Port Angeles.

The goal with the annual St. Vincent de Paul Friends of the Poor Walk, Flynn says, is twofold: to raise money to help those living in poverty and to raise awareness of the program.

This year’s walk is set for 12:30-2:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24, starting at Sequim’s Carrie Blake Park.

Registration opens at noon the day of the race.

This year, the walk begins at the park and proceeds east along the Olympic Discovery Trail. Participants have the

SEQUIM, WA

Anytime Fitness, Sequim 10131 Old Olympic Hwy sequimwa@anytimefitness.com 360-683-4110

option of walking as far as Whitefeather Way or in a short loop around Carrie Blake Park. Refreshments are provided.

The goal for this year’s event is $10,000.

“In this Year of Mercy, as declared by Pope Francis, it is especially appropriate that we consider those whose need is great,” walk coordinator Mike McAleer said.

For Sequim, proceeds primarily help those living within the school district boundaries avoid utility disconnections and evictions.

In the Port Angeles area, funds will be used primarily for people within the school district boundaries and west pay for medical costs and transportation.

The assistance doesn’t go just to those of one faith, Flynn notes.

“There is a conception that because we have ‘Saint’ in our title, that we help only Catholics,” Flynn says. “We help

Come play with us for

Arts & Draughts!

anybody that needs help … in all sorts of circumstances.”

That includes helping people find housing, transportation to work or to medical appointments and more, he says.

In addition, Flynn says, the St. Vincent de Paul Society has an Occupational Assistance Program that helps individuals be more employable.

The society is an all-volunteer group — there is no office, no one is paid and usually the only expense is a phone bill, Flynn notes — as during a week-long shift pairs of helpers respond to calls for help.

“We try to visit in their homes (if applicable),” Flynn says. “It’s where they are most comfortable. We want to come as friends. We want to help as a friend would.”

However, sometimes that means saying “no,” he says.

“We try to discern (the need) prayerfully,” Flynn says. “Often (the help) is not what they ask for. Most people are grateful.

“What we want more than anything is for people to become self-sufficient.”

For more information or to register before the day of the walk, call 460-8883.

From page A-1

Commission to consider pilot programs for private investors in four parks SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF Construction on the 3 Crabs Nearshore and Estuarine Restoration Project reestablishes three lagoons and creates one path for Meadowbrook Creek, which is the last freshwater tributary to the Dungeness River and provides “essential rearing habitat for out-migrating Dungeness River salmon,” state planning overview documents. Sequim Gazette photo by Matthew Nash

about 800 feet of dike and 80 feet of rip rap along the creek’s banks.

Coalition staff said the ecological impact of the project should improve three types of habitat — beach, salt marsh and the lower portion of Meadowbrook Creek.

The creek is the last freshwater tributary to the Dungeness River and provides “essential rearing habitat for out-migrating Dungeness River salmon,” state planning overview documents.

For example, small forage fish and juvenile salmon seek refuge in areas like salt marshes, which provides an array of food, coalition staff said.

Long said beforehand the creek was trying to take three routes but by rerouting the creek brings it back to its 1914 alignment and its most effectiveness.

An archaeologist visited the site and while no historical artifacts were found, Long said they discovered and removed about 300 tons

of contaminated soil from an old pole barn.

“The structure was long gone but the contaminated soil was still there,” he said.

Long said cost increases such as removing the creosote range between $250,000-$300,000 but he felt they were necessary changes such as removing the creosote.

Construction on the nearshore and estuarine project began in June and Long said access to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Viewing Area and 3 Crabs Road residences hasn’t been affected.

He said they’ve actually seen an increase in bird activity because of the changes they’ve made to the waterways.

Part of the project includes a new trail to the viewing area on the beach from a cul-de-sac that includes 400 feet of parking on an 8-foot paved shoulder leading up to it on the south side for parking.

The wildlife area is a popular spot to see birds

and Helen’s Pond still will be accessible for a safe pulloff with a 4-foot paved and 2-foot gravel shoulder area.

Three new lagoons will be created through the project, too, that can be viewed from the shoulder along with other existing popular spots.

Existing infrastructure such as private property signage and a portable toilet will remain on site, and utilities along SequimDungeness Way eventually will be rerouted and buried, going along the new path, Long said.

Other elements of the project include removing 950 feet of shoreline and streambank armoring near the existing bridge, removing 800 feet of tidal dike to restore connection to estuarine habitat, removing shoreline armoring and a dike.

For more information about the project, visit http://3crabsrestoration. blogspot.com/ or http:// nosc.org/restoration/current-projects/.-

A pilot program that would allow private investors to develop recreation amenities in four state parks is on the agenda at the next Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, set for 9 a.m.

Thursday, Sept. 22, at the Holiday Inn & Suites, 1441 E. Washington St., Sequim.

The commission, one that has seven regular meetings

a year at various locations around the state, is looking at private development of cabins or other facilities at Fort Flagler Historical State Park.

The goal, park officials say, is not to privatize parks but to provide visitor amenities at little to no cost to the state.

The park system would earn revenue from concession agreements. Any development would need to be aligned with the state parks mission and would be sited to avoid negative impacts to sensitive natural features and systems, they said.

The commission will allow 30 minutes of public comment on the item, tentatively scheduled to begin at 12:40 p.m.

federal funds to revert the area back to a more natural state improving the ecological function of more than 40 acres of coastal wetlands and restoring a half-mile of stream channel.

Kevin Long, project manager for the coalition, said the existing Meadowbrook Creek Bridge will be removed at the end of the project in favor of a new concrete bridge with a 61foot opening compared to the current bridge’s 19-foot opening.

Long said crews with Interwest Construction Inc. of Burlington and Sequim are “pretty determined to get it done before (winter).”

The mountain of dirt, surcharge, next to the roadway is stacked high, he said, to weigh down the road surface so that it doesn’t sink later on.

The current bridge’s opening is prone to trapping large debris and leading to flooding upstream but the new roadway’s crest elevation is about one foot higher than the existing roadway, staff said.

The new Meadowbrook Creek bridge is part of a 1,385-linear-foot realigned roadway for Sequim-Dungeness Way and 3 Crabs Road.

By realigning the roads, 1,475 feet of Sequim-Dungeness Way and 132 linear feet of 3 Crabs Road will be vacated away from the bay’s shoreline.

T he new por t ion of Sequim-Dungeness Way will have a 6-foot shoulder compared to its previous 3-foot shoulder, too.

Planning overview documents state that construction reshapes about 1,100 feet of the Meadowbrook Creek channel to the adjacent sloughs and removes

Raising funds with flying colors Annual Reach For Hospice continues tradition of VHOCC support

Racing on the bay

Saturday’s Reach for Hospice event featured nine boats in a pair of races divisions, and despite a delay because of lack of wind, saw all races completed.

The crew of Sparkle out of Port Townsend took top honors in the A Division, with second place going to Dan and Carol Benjamin racing Whirlwind, and third to Bob McClinton and his crew aboard Intrepid.

Skipper Alan Clark and the crew of Malolo were the winners of the B-Division.

Second place went to Richards and his crew racing Sirius, and Torben Blichfeld and crew aboard Gorm won third place.

Top crews see their names engraved on the Fred Tidyman Trophy.

Taking home the Mickey McGuffin Sportsmanship Award for their contributions to the Sequim Bay Yacht Club were M.J. and Durkee Richards. “We may be the public face of the club,” M.J. Richards said, “but we have many unsung heroes contributing to the success and health of the club.”

In all, 95 attended a potluck dinner following the races. The club also hosted Bette Wood, patient care manager for Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County, who shared some of the history of VHOCC and talked about the group’s mission.

SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF For families using hospice services, day-to-day life can be anything but smooth sailing.

Thanks to community volunteers and a cadre of enthusiastic sailors, however, those families are getting a boost.

The Sequim Bay Yacht Club’s annual Reach For Hospice fundraiser regatta, held on Sept. 17, has this year’s fundraising effort more than halfway to the club’s goal of raising $20,000.

Funds go to Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County, a community group providing in-home end of life care without charge.

Entirely supported by community donations and grants, VHOCC is run by nine professional nurses on staff to address symptom management and provide for family support and education, along with 146 active volunteers who provide respite care and support for family members, deliver equipment, run the organization’s office and more.

The group also offers grief and bereavement support and classes on such topics s

financial management and cooking-for-one for survivors.

Yacht club members plan on collecting throughout the end of the year to meet that goal, Yacht Club Commodore Durkee Richards said.

After selling about $300 worth of quilt raffle tickets last week, the club plans on selling more until a drawing at the Change of Watch ceremony in December, Richards said.

The Reach for Hospice dates back to 1991, when a group of dedicated sailors and hospice supporters raced around Smith Island. Since then, the event has evolved into a sailing regatta on Sequim Bay

with multiple boat classes and racing starts. Club members have raised more than $282,500 over the years.

A restoration project to improve fish habitat within the Dungeness and Gray Wolf rivers will force some closures set to start Sept. 27-29 and last up to three days.

The Olympic National Forest and the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe are partnering on the project that includes construction of log jams in three separate reaches of the Dungeness and Gray Wolf rivers on National Forest System lands, about at river mile 14.2 on the Dungeness River and river mile 0.4-0.8 and 1.8-2.0 on the Gray Wolf River.

Eleven log jams are to be placed along the four reaches of the rivers.

Log jams will be constructed from trees and materials delivered to the river channel

by helicopter, national forest officials said.

During the project the public should expect closures and traffic delays in the immediate area.

Closures include: • Forest Service Road 2870 from the junction of the 2880 to the junction of the 2870-050 including all roads, trailheads and other areas in between • Forest Service Trails 834.1 and 834 • Dungeness River from river mile 14.2-16.0 • Gray Wolf River from

Neah Bay’s Johnson honored by Washington state Democrats Each year, the Washington State Democratic Party honors Democrats from around the state by conferring the Warren G. Magnuson Award. This award recognizes outstanding community leaders. It is named in honor of former U.S. Sen. Warren Magnuson (“Maggie”) JOHNSON who represented Washington for over 43 years in Congress and 36 years in the Senate.

He was the most senior member of the U.S. Senate during his final two years in office.

Julie Johnson is receiving the 2016 Maggie Award as State Committee Member of the Year. She is a two-term Washington State Democratic Committeewoman, serving on the Central Committee of the state Democratic Party.

Johnson has been honored by local Democrats as the female Democrat of the Year (2012) and received a National Indian Women’s Leadership Award in 2013 from Women Empowering Women for Indian Nations.

Johnson was elected as a Hillary Clinton delegate to the Washington State and National Democratic Conventions, capturing one of only two Clinton delegate positions from the 6th Congressional District, and she was the only female Clinton delegate.

Johnson also was elected a presidential elector, a singular honor since only one presidential elector is selected from each congressional district.

Johnson is a social and health services grant writer and intergovernmental relations consultant. She resides in Neah Bay.

Picklers raise $2,000 for courts Some pancakes here for plenty of pickleball paddling later.

The Sequim Picklers were hard at work raising funds for its new courts last week, as a breakfast fundraiser at Applebee’s and silent auction netted about $2,100 for the group.

Sequim Picklers is seeking money to build courts at Carrie Blake Park. With that in mind, the group sold more than 240 advance tickets and wound up serving a little more than 170 meals on Saturday, Sept. 17.

In the afternoon that day, the group held its largest pickleball tournament at the courts adjacent to Sequim Community School, netting another $430.

Wickersham gets OMC leadership honor Holly Wickersham, operations director of Olympic Medical Physicians, received OMC’s Leadership Award in August. Wickersham has been with Olympic Medical Physicians in a management capacity since 2007 and has been operations director since 2014. In addiWICKERSHAM tion to her operational responsibilities, she has been a key member of the planning committee for the new medical office building opening later this year.

“Holly has been coordinating a lot of moving parts for transitioning to the new medical office building such as equipment, supplies, people, signage and interiors,” OMC CEO Eric Lewis said. The Medical Office Building is scheduled to open in December. “Holly’s organized in her approach to move physician clinics into the new space, while minimizing the impact on patients and employees as much as possible.”

In the past seven months, Wickersham took on a larger administrative load as the administrative leaders searched and secured a new physician division chief. She also supervises clinic managers and recently set up a new coordinated call center.

Alice Lloyd remembers some winters in North Dakota and Minnesota so severe the family had to tie a rope between the house and the barn to keep from getting lost in snowstorms and eking out a living during the Depression years as turkey and wheat farmers.

Now a resident in Sequim’s supremely mild climate, Lloyd celebrated her 100th birthday this week.

Born Sept. 20, 1916, in Madison, Wis. — Woodrow Wilson was president at the time — she says living in the cold climates with sister Edna and brother Leo made her so tough. She rode a horse to school, as many youths did there and then, letting them graze while they were in class.

When Lloyd was 20, the family moved to The Dalles, Ore., where she worked at a tuberculosis center. The family then moved to Astoria, Ore., where she met her husband, Fred Lloyd, a United States Marine at that time. They married just before World War II and Fred was shipped out to serve in the South Pacific, just months after their marriage. Their first son, Fred Jr., was born in 1942; their second, John, was born in 1946.

After Fred got out of the service, the couple bought a 40-acre farm in Astoria where they raised mink for more than 20 years. Besides helping run the Submitted photo farm, she worked as a custom fish filleter at a local fish cannery. She also was active in the Grange and a member of Eastern Star. They then moved to Warrenton, Ore., where they were Grange insurance agents. They also became avid rock hounds, gold panners and enjoyed traveling throughout the west in their Airstream.

They helped create the town of Desert Center, Calif. — near Palm Springs — which began as a group of Airstreamers who eventually put down permanent roots.

Besides being an avid gardener, Lloyd was an accomplished artist in oil painting, ceramics, sewing (she sewed most of her own clothes and those of her family), and she even did some pine needle basket weaving.

The couple moved to Sequim in 1998 to be closer to their son, John. Fred died in 2001 and Alice Lloyd continued to live in their home, independently, until she was 98. That year she endured broken bones and multiple surgeries after a fall.

She now lives at Sinclair Place, where family members say she plays a mean hand of rummy and enjoys bingo. She is also a big Mariners fan.

Her family includes her son John and daughter-in-law Ellen Lloyd, daughter-in-law Harlene Lloyd, two granddaughters and their husbands, and three great-grandchildren.

‘Midnight in Paris’ to raise Forum to examine ocean acidification funds for family support SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF

SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF North Olympic Health Care Network presents the eighth annual Midnight in Paris Dinner and Auction event on Saturday, Sept. 24, at the Red Lion, 221 N. Lincoln St., Port Angeles.

More than 100 attendees are expected to join First Step Family Support Center for its annual soiree. The event brings friendship, generosity, champagne and cuisine together for First Step’s biggest fundraiser of the year.

The theme this year is “Making Dreams Come True” and auction items include a Camaraderie Wines basket, a catered French dinner for four, a “Picker’s Passport” to a year of fresh fruits, berries and vegetables from a local garden, an entire year of massage at Renaissance and an afternoon excursion on La Boheme, an iconic 1936 wooden sloop.

Tickets are $80 ($40 of which is tax deductible) — RSVP at FirstStepFamily.org or by calling Amber Hosken, marketing and events coordinator, at 457-8355.

Professional auctioneer Dave Ryckman of Stokes Auction Group, will be running the auction.

All proceeds go directly to First Step Family Support Center, whose mission is to promote the healthy development of children and families in Clallam County. More information about First Step can be found at FirstStepFamily.org.

Sponsors are the North Olympic Health Care Network, Merrill & Ring, Seven Cedars Casino, First Federal, Aaron Swenson, DDS, John L. Scott Real Estate, Hermann Brothers Logging, Peninsula Children’s Clinic, Waste Connections, Elwha River Casino, George Symonds, OD, and private donors.

Changing chemistry in area marine waters is changing the food web and the industries that depend upon it. How those changes occur, and what everyone can do to help reduce those changes, will be explored at a speaker forum and panel discussion on Wednesday, Sept.

28, at the Red Lion Inn conference room in Port Angeles. The free event begins at 6 p.m. and is sponsored by Clallam County Marine Resources Committee and Olympic Climate Action.

Forum speakers will examine the ecological impacts of ocean acidification, the impacts of ocean acidification on local shellfish, water availability on the North Olympic Peninsula and how individuals can be involved to help make a difference.

Ginny Broadhurst, executive director at the Northwest Straits Commission, will facilitate the

event and the panel discussion.

Broadhurst also will outline actions that individual citizens can take to help reduce the impacts of ocean acidification.

Anna McLaskey, PhD student at University of Washington, will discuss the ecological impacts of ocean acidification. A member of the West Coast Ocean Acidification 2016 Cruise, McLaskey will introduce the cause and chemistry of ocean acidification. Her research focuses on the impacts of ocean acidification on crustacean zooplankton such as krill and copepods.

Bill Dewey, director of public affairs for Taylor Shellfish, will explore the impacts of ocean acidification on oysters and other shellfish. He travels around the world speaking about ocean acidification, how ocean acidification impacts the shellfish industry and how it will impact the ocean food web.

Ann Soule, resource manager at City of Sequim, will describe future water availability on the North Olympic Peninsula.

Based on future weather predictions with drier, wa r mer su mmers and wetter winters, Soule concludes that residents should “harness all possible sources of SOULE water for our water-dependent region.” She will explore potential relationships between freshwater supplies and marine resources.

Following the presentations, a panel will engage the audience in a discussion about ocean acidification and water availability on the North Olympic Peninsula.

Sequim YMCA gets $3,000 donation SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF Colin Kahler, nephew of Ken Stewart, presented a $3,000 donation to the Olympic Peninsula YMCA for the operation and maintenance of the YMCA of Sequim facility pool.

“Uncle Ken spent hours and hours with my brother Brady and me supervising our swimming lessons at the former SARC,” Kahler said. “This feels like a fitting tribute to his memory.”

The late Stewart “had a passion for parks,” according to Laurie Stewart, his widow and Sound Community Bank CEO. That passion led him from service as a parks commissioner in Shoreline to Sequim, where he volunteered for the local Parks Board and worked tirelessly on the skateboard park project here.

When Stewart succumbed to a rare form of liver cancer in January 2001, the family established the Ken Stewart Park Fund at the Olympic View Community Foundation (then called Community Foundation of the Sequim-Dungeness Valley).

After a 20-year career in the military, Stewart ran his own businesses, then returned to the University of Washington and completed a theater arts degree.

He was active in many area theater companies, including in Sequim.

To honor his life of service, both in the military and in the communities where they lived, the family offered three alternatives — in lieu of flowers — to those who wished to remember him.

Those options were gifts to the Ken Stewart Park Fund held at the community foundation, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and the Woodland Park Zoo. Distributions from the Park Fund supported the skateboard park and the park by the alternative school in Sequim. The family also funded a bench at the zoo and a brick at the Hutch.

“Ken would be very pleased about this donation,” Stewart said.

The new Sequim facility will become the largest branch to the Olympic Peninsula YMCA and is complete with a fitness center, gym, racquetball courts, aerobics studio and a six-lane pool.

“We are honored by such a generous donation in memory of Ken Stewart,” Len Borchers, CEO of the Olympic Peninsula YMCA, said.

The new Sequim Advisory Committee, led by Gary Huff, began its $150,000 financial campaign this May. Huff and Borchers met with Laurie Stewart very early on when the Olympic Peninsula YMCA was considering whether the Y will transform SARC into a YMCA.

If you haven’t been in Jose’s Famous Salsa House lately, you’ll find lots of changes. From a cozy eatery, the taquería reopened Sept.

13 with double the space and seating capacity and a full-service bar. Patrons also can dine al fresco and people-watch on Washington Street.

“It’s a cool place to hang out,” said Angee Garcia, coowner with her husband, Jose.

The space is now airy with burnt orange accent walls, dark wood flooring and roughsawn beams and boards as part of the decor. The bar can easily accommodate 10 and there are plenty of comfy booths for lingering over tacos, tamales or burritos. Take a trip or two to the free condiment bar to have it your way.

How did Jose’s salsa get famous?

The Garcias met while they were working at a Chili’s in California and Jose created his proprietary salsa recipe for a client while there. They moved to Sequim in 2005 and Jose began working for Westport Shipyard.

“He would make his salsa for barbecues and his co-workers said, ‘You need to sell this,’ so he started selling it to them and then at the Sequim Farmers Market,” Angee said.

August unemployment rate breaks an eight-month holding pattern SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF After eight months at 5.8 percent, preliminary estimates from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics show Washington’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell to 5.7 percent in August despite more people joining the labor force.

According to the Monthly Employment Report from Washington’s Employment Security Department, the state added 2,600

jobs in August. July’s preliminary gain of 2,600 jobs was revised down to 1,900.

Clallam County’s unemployment rate is 7.6 percent, not seasonallyadjusted — tied for eighth-highest among the state’s 39 counties.

“While the unemployment rate didn’t change dramatically, it’s a positive move nonetheless, considering the state’s labor force continues to grow,” state labor market economist Paul Turek said.

The national unemployment rate

held firm at 4.9 percent in August.

The unemployment rate in the Seattle/Bellevue/Everett area dropped from 4.4 to 4.1 percent in August.

ESD paid unemployment insurance benefits to 52,719 people in August.

The state’s labor force grew to 3.63 million in August, an increase of 7,400 people from the previous month. In the Seattle/Bellevue/ Everett region, the labor force increased by 8,000 during the same period.

Bunny Cornwall, licensed master aesthetician and owner of Olympic Day Spa, attended an individualized class at the National Association of Laser and Aesthetics in Phoenix, Ariz. Topics covered in the advanced laser techniques training included CORNWALL using intense pulsed light for skin rejuvenation and for balancing skin tone and color; radio frequency for body sculpting/lifting and fat reduction and fractional laser for wrinkle and stretch mark reduction. Also covered was application of multiple laser usage in one treatment and using ultrasound for product penetration.

Talk on diabetes and fitness on tap Sequim Gym announces a free talk entitled, “Goal Planning, Fitness and Diabetes Management: Putting it All Together,” from 5:30-6:30 Friday, Sept. 25, at 160 E. Bell St. This talk will address how to set and achieve fitness and wellness goals, and provide tools to better manage diabetes and health. Reservations strongly recommended: Alicia@sequimgym.com or 681-2555.

From August 2015 to August 2016, the state’s labor force grew by 89,000 and the Seattle/Bellevue/ Everett region increased by 29,300.

The labor force is the total number of people, both employed and unemployed, over age 16.

Private-sector employment increased by 1,800 jobs and government employment increased 800 in August.

This month’s report shows the greatest job growth occurred in education and health services with 3,900 new jobs created. In addition, wholesale trade added 1,200 jobs, transportation, warehousing and utilities was up 800, construction increased 600 and professional and business services moved up 500.

Manufacturing and the leisure and hospitality industries faced the biggest reductions, losing 1,700 jobs each.

Other services cut 900 jobs and retail trade and financial services shed 600 and 400 positions, respectively.

Washington has added an estimated 95,300 new jobs from August 2015 to August 2016, not seasonally adjusted. The private sector grew by 3.1 percent or 81,500 jobs and the public sector increased by 2.6 percent, adding 13,800 jobs.

From August 2015 to August 2016, 12 out of 13 industry sectors in Washington added jobs. Manufacturing was the only sector to report job losses (-4,500).

Motocross racer dies following race accident Procunier was Sequim High School graduate

BY PAUL GOTTLIEB Olympic Peninsula News Group

The motocross community is lamenting the loss of one of its own, a man who died doing what he loved and while leading the race.

Port Angeles resident Mike “Mikie” Procunier, a 29-year-old logger, died Sunday, Sept. 18, after a crash when he didn’t clear a hill during a competition at the Olympic Peninsula Motorcycle Club track at 1306 Deer Park Road, club president Josh Millar said Monday morning.

Following the accident at about 2 p.m. Sunday, Procunier was unconscious while being treated by Clallam Fire District No. 2 and Olympic Ambulance personnel before being transported to Olympic Medical Center, Fire Chief Sam Phillips said.

Phillips said Procunier, a 2005 Sequim High School graduate, was being treated for a broken arm on the scene before going into cardiac arrest.

He was later pronounced deceased, Olympic Medical Center spokesman Jeff Anderson said.

Procunier was among about 120 racers participating in the Washing-

ton series of the Washington State Motocross Championships before about 50 spectators.

Millar said Procunier was taught to ride by his father, Mike, an auto mechanic and also a motocross enthusiast.

Former club president Tom Hines and Millar said it was the first race fatality in the track’s 78-year history.

“Supposedly, it was one of the last tracks in the country that didn’t have one yet,” Millar said.

It also was the first motocross track fatality in Washington this year, said Ryan Abrigo, who owns the Northwest Racing Association.

Abrigo attended the WA State MX Championships race Sunday that was being held at the OPMC track and was sponsored by the Northwest Racing Association.

The remainder of the Sunday motocross series events were canceled following the accident, Millar said.

Millar said the motorcycle club will hold a memorial ceremony at the track, although a date has not been set.

“He was definitely integrated into the community, into the motocross community,” Millar said.

“He was such a nice guy, and being such a nice guy, I have been constantly running into people who knew him and are grieving.”

“He loved to ride his dirt bike,” Abrigo said. “He was a very skillful rider.”

Procunier also was a BMX bicycle rider.

“He was a good rider with anything with two wheels,” Abrigo said.

Abrigo said the crash occurred about 200 feet away from spectators while Procunier competed in the last of 16 races in the Northwest Racing Association series.

Abrigo said the rear wheel of Procunier’s 450cc Yamaha dirt bike appeared to catch on the crest of the third hill before the crash.

“He was out front and leading the race and crashed in front of the riders,” he said.

Millar said Procunier also had won a race at an event last week.

“He rode growing up here,” Millar said.

Procunier was a club board member who recently had turned professional class.

Family members could not be reached for comment.

Brian King, Clallam County chief criminal deputy, said the fatality will not be investigated unless circumstances warrant it.

“No crime was involved,” King said.

An autopsy will be conducted, said Mark Nichols, the Clallam County Prosecuting Attorney and county coroner.

Crimes

From page A-1 Melly called a recess and returned 90 seconds later.

“I’m a father and an emotional man,” he said. “(I) can’t think of a more heinous crime than a crime against children.”

Melly said he based the longer sentence on the damage that Allison imposed on two victims, their families and the 15 other students in his class.

The standard sentencing range was 240 months to 318 months.

An apologetic Allison said he was “not sorry” he was caught.

“I am thankful that the abuse has ended for these families, for these girls,” Allison said.

“I wish there was a way to measure the sorrow, how sorry I am.

“The oceans can’t hold the amount of sorrow I feel for what I have done,” Allison added.

“I’m being swept away by a flood of remorse. I’m being crushed by a mountain of guilt and I’m drowning under a sea of shame. I have worked with children for over 16 years and I have never touched one inappropriately before this.”

“Liar!” a woman shouted from the back of the courtroom.

Allison continued, “This is so out of character for me. It makes me sick every time I

Allison said he would seek counseling in prison and repeated, “I’m sorry.”

Melly said it was difficult to accept Allison’s statement of remorse because the crimes occurred over several months.

“You’ve got a master’s in education,” Melly said.

“Presumably, you’ve taken psychology classes through the course of that education and training. You should have known that way back when, there was an issue going on and you neglected to do anything about it. It

persisted to criminality.”

A llison’s criminalit y, Melly said, consigned the victims to flashbacks and nightmares and destroyed all 17 students’ “faith in authority, in the academic community and quite possibly their church.”

Allison was placed on administrative leave when the allegations surfaced and was soon fired by the Washington Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, which oversees the school along with a board and the Sequim Seventh-day Adventist Church.

iff’s Office said the crimes occurred at Allison’s desk while other students were studying or watching movies.

A mother of one victim reported sexual abuse after the girl’s cousin raised concerns about Allison’s conduct around certain students. The mother phoned Allison with law enforcement listening in.

“The defendant said that what (the victim) disclosed to her was the truth,” Devlin said.

“When asked where the defendant touched (the victim), the defendant’s response was: ‘I touched her where she asked me to.’ ” Devlin said Allison manipulated the girls and abused his position of authority.

“The parents entrusted the lives and safety and welfare of their children to the defendant,” Devlin said. “He was a father figure to some.”

Other students told authorities that Allison played favorites, gave special privileges to the two girls and touched them inappropriately, often with them seated on his lap.

“He was actually talked to about touching the children on March 8,” Devlin said.

After his March 29 arrest, Allison confessed to sexual contact with both girls, Clallam County Sheriff’s Detective Brian Knutson said in the arrest report.

Allison originally was charged with a dozen sex

crimes — four counts of firstdegree child rape and eight counts of child molestation.

He pleaded guilty to the amended charges Aug. 4.

A mother of one victim said she confided in her daughter’s teacher and that the family had become close to “Mr. A,” who taught fourth through eighth grade.

“I was in complete and utter shock and denial that someone I put so much faith, trust, value and admiration in would do such an atrocious and disgusting act to an innocent child,” the mother said in a victim impact statement.

“For someone of Christian faith, in an authoritative position, teaching my and other children what’s right and wrong, guiding them for the future, I felt deceived.

“He had deceived our entire family, built special relationships with every one of us,” she added.

“The more I look back, the more I feel as if he had been grooming our family for his own twisted needs from day one.”

The woman urged Melly to impose the maximum 318-month sentence.

The sentence from the bench becomes the minimum term and is subject to a review of the Indeterminate Sentencing Review Board.

“Judge Melly demonstrated an understanding of the gravity of the crimes committed and it was reflected in the sentence that he imposed,” Healthy Families of Clallam County Executive Director Becca Korby said in a later interview.

“Healthy Families has great hope that that understanding continues in the future and is reflected in how our judges view sex crimes against children and adults.”

Devlin displayed in court photographs of Allison’s classroom and the desk where the crimes occurred.

She also showed photographs of the two girls, the only students in the school yearbook with angels near their pictures.

“They are angels,” Devlin said.

“They were 10 years old and their innocence was taken away from them.”

About 100 people crowded a meeting room at the Holiday Inn & Suites in Sequim last Friday and Saturday for one reason and one reason only: buttons. Yes, buttons, the kind that fasten your clothing.

The button enthusiasts traveled from Washington, Idaho and Oregon to attend the Washington State Button Society Convention and Show, which was held in Sequim for the first time ever. Perhaps no one was more excited than Gloria Skorvonsky, president of the Peninsula Button Club, host of the convention and show.

If you wanted a button for anything, it was to be had at this show. Everyday costume buttons, animal buttons, comical buttons, to historical buttons, you name it, were displayed on cards, neatly displayed throughout the room. Button enthusiasts, collectors, buyers and sellers, many of whom were long-time friends, searched through thousands of buttons, looking for just the right one to buy or trade.

Susan Goodwin lives in Bainbridge Island, but said she wouldn’t dream of missing the convention.

She also travels to Sequim once a month to attend the Peninsula Button Club meetings. “This is the closest button club for me,” she said, while browsing through a stack of button cards. Goodwin said she started her collection with a collection given to her by an aunt. “As soon as I saw the buttons, I was hooked,” she smiled.

Stories about her collection and buttons in general are laced with historical facts, such as buttons made from black glass that were popular in the Victorian era and buttons made from vegetable ivory before plastic was available. Quite interesting, to be sure.

Tom Skorvonsky, Gloria’s husband, is as passionate about button-collecting as his wife. He won two blue ribbons at the show for his set of livery buttons, buttons that were produced in France in the 1850s. Gloria also won a couple of blue ribbons at the show.

This can be an expensive hobby, depending on how much a collector wants to spend on a particular button. Goodwin said the most she spent on one but-

Joy McCarter

December 10, 1914 - September 6, 2016 201 Joy passed away at the Sequim Health and Rehab Center on September 6, 2016 of congestive heart failure.

She was born December 10, 1914 in Granite Falls, WA, to Lyes and Blanch McCarter. Joy was the oldest of 8 children (all deceased).

Joy was raised in Port Gamble, WA. She married Willam Adams in Port Gamble. They had 3 children Patricia (deceased), Dennis Adams of Sequim and Pamela (Howard) Fristoe of Spokane.

Joy moved to Sequim in the mid 1950’s and was instrumental in creating the Artists group that grew to become Sequim Arts. She was a lifetime member and four times past president of the local nonprofit organization.

Joy also made history in the area by becoming the first licensed female realtor on the North Olympic Peninsula. She owned her own real estate business “Joy Land Company, Inc.” for 40 years and retired at the age of 85.

Over the years Joy led numerous artists retreats including several annual painting workshops at Camp David Jr., on Lake Crescent and continued to welcome opportunities to share her skills and paint along side fellow artists and Sequim arts members.

In addition to her children Dennis and Pamela Joy is survived by 7 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren and one great great grandson.

At Joy’s request no service will be held.

In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made in the form of donations to Peninsula Arts (formerly Sequim Arts) or a favorite charity.

Martha Jean Oldfield

Forest Farrell Faulkner

Donald J. Knight October 25, 1927 - August 2, 2016

July 30, 1927 - September 5, 2016

After a long struggle with Alzheimer’s disease, Martha Jean Oldfield (nee Kenyon) died on September 5, 2016 at the age of 89.

Martha was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Walter and Dessie Kenyon on July 30th, 1927 and grew up in nearby Saint Paul.

She received her B.A. in Mathematics, graduating first in her class, from Hamline University.

After graduation, as a female pioneer in the computing industry, she went to work at the U.S. Naval Ordnance Test Station in China Lake, California. There she met her future husband, Bruce Oldfield.

Bruce and Martha were married in June of 1958. She continued working in the computing field including time at Univac and the National Bureau of Standards.

Martha and Bruce had two children, Duane Oldfield of Galesburg, Illinois and Laurie Reffitt of Castro Valley, California. They joined Bruce’s three children from a previous marriage, Carl Oldfield of Brownsville, Texas, Helen Goldberg of Merritt Island, Florida, and David Oldfield of Coquille, Oregon.

After time living in California, New York, Virginia, Maryland, Japan, France, and Eastern Washington, Martha and Bruce settled in Sequim in 1989.

Martha was an avid bridge player who, along with her husband Bruce, achieved life master status. She was a regular at the Sunland golf course. A fine cook, she took joy in hosting friends and family.

Martha will be remembered for her gracious nature and quiet determination.

She was preceded in death by her husband Bruce.

She is survived by her 5 children, 8 grandchildren, and her brother, William Kenyon of Moose Lake, Minnesota.

Memorial arrangements will be determined later.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (https://www.alzfdn.org/).

August 27, 1928 - August 24, 2016

Forest Faulkner, Sequim resident, passed to be with our Lord on August 24, 2016.

He was born August 27, 1928, in East St. Louis, IL, the third son of Bertha Judd Faulkner and William M. Faulkner. He spent his boyhood in Bellevile, IL. Following high school, he enlisted in the US Army and served with the Military Police during the post WWII occupation of Japan.

Following his first service in the army, he attended Oklahoma A& M College (now Oklahoma State University) to study architecture. His education was interrupted by a call back to service in the Korean War. He was able to complete his education after the war, and received his Bachelor of Architectural Engineering degree in 1956.

He worked in Oklahoma City where he married Anna Coleman. They had two children, a son and a daughter.

In 1965, the family moved to the Seattle area where he continued his career. He designed facilities in Oklahoma, Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, Missouri and Alaska plus he attained certification by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB).

He was very versatile and designed large buildings, parks/ playgrounds, homes, post offices and military installations.

One of his later projects was what he described with a wry smile as a “small addition to the Boeing Everett facility” where the 777 airplanes are built.

After retirement, Forest and Anna moved to Sequim in 1998 to enjoy a quieter lifestyle - hiking, birding and gardening. He was primarily responsible for planting and maintenance of the Fuchsia Test Garden on E. Washington Street. He was a survivor of lung cancer, which was diagnosed in 1999.

He was a devoted member of St. Joseph’s Church and belonged to the Knights of Columbus which he served as Grand Knight for one term.

He is survived by his wife Anna, daughter Lisa, and son Forest II (Whende) plus numerous nieces and nephews.

His funeral mass was held September 9. He will be buried at Tahoma National Cemetery at a later date.

For anyone wishing to honor him, the family suggests donations be made to the Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County, 540 East 8th Street, Port Angeles, WA 98362, or a charity of your choice.

Time to worry about a shutdown again Unfortunately, discussion over our skyrocketing national debt is only a footnote in the testy presidential campaign this year. Hopefully, the upcoming debates will change that.

The new President and Congress face a day of reckoning next March when the limit on the amount of money we can borrow reaches the $20.1 trillion. Either both parties reach an agreement on funding our government or the President orders a shut down.

That’s why voters should know Guest where the candidates stand on hanOpinion dling our massive federal debt before they cast their ballots this November.

Don Brunell The United States Constitution and the accompanying Antideficiency Act mandates action when federal agencies and programs lack appropriated funding. If the funding gap lasts long enough, federal law requires the President to furlough non-essential personnel and curtail agency activities and services.

Since 1981, there have been five government shutdowns, the longest of which lasted 21 days (from Dec. 16, 1995-Jan. 6, 1996) under President Bill Clinton. During Barack Obama’s presidency, there was a shutdown lasting from Oct. 1-16, 2013, when opponents of Obamacare attempted to leverage defunding it against preventing the shutdown.

While the last cessation drew attention to our mounting deficit, other issues such as national security, climate change, excessive regulations and an underperforming economy have overshadowed it.

State should drop culvert case appeal We are disappointed to learn that the state of Washington will continue its longstanding efforts to deny tribal treaty-reserved fishing rights by once again appealing a federal court ruling requiring the repair of hundreds of fish-blocking culverts under state roads.

The state is appealing a unanimous decision handed down in June by a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

That ruling upheld Judge Ricardo Martinez’s 2007 decision that our Guest treaty-reserved right to harvest Opinion salmon also includes the right to have those salmon protected so they Lorraine Loomis are available for harvest.

Because the state is unlikely to fare any better in this next appeal, we think Gov. Jay Inslee should encourage State Attorney General Bob Ferguson to drop it. The money, time and effort spent denying tribes their rights could be far better spent on salmon recovery. More salmon would mean more fishing, more jobs and healthier economies for everyone, not just the tribes.

The Appeals Court ruling was not surprising. Our treaty rights have been consistently upheld by federal courts — including the U.S. Supreme Court — since the 1974 decision by Judge George Boldt in U.S. v.

Washington. That ruling affirmed tribal treaty rights and recognized the tribes as co-managers of the salmon resource. The U.S. government filed the culvert case on behalf of the tribes in 2001 as a sub-proceeding of U.S. v. Washington.

More than 800 state culverts block salmon access to more than 1,000 miles of good habitat and harm salmon at

Sequim’s George McMurray, at the Bonneville Salt Flats in August. Submitted photo

Verbatim: George McMurray From his workshop off of East Sequim Bay Road, craftsman George McMurray specializes in custom car and hot rod parts, repairing panels and a potpourri of other mechanical enterprises for his business, Select Solutions.

But for the past several years, late in the summer, McMurray heads south to break records.

An aerospace engineer for years until he and family moved from the Mojave Desert area in California to Sequim around 2000, McMurray was bitten a few years back by the racing bug. His brother Joe, now deceased, helped spur the family into racing, and George, Joe and another brother Jim formed the Tri-Mac Speedsters, a name George still uses.

On a visit to Bonneville, Utah, in 2008, McMurray looked out across the vast, (54 square miles) salt flats reserved for the top speed racers in the world and something clicked.

This August, McMurray of Sequim and his Tri-Mac Speedsters team set another speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats’ Speed Week 2016, where entrants from all over the world participate in a week-long event attempting to set top speeds in a variety of vehicles such as hot rods, roadsters, motorcycles and more.

McMurray, a veteran of Speed Week events, set his newest record in the APS-BF (special construction partial streamlining/ supercharged engine), 125cc classification, averaging 121.935 miles per hour on Aug. 17. He credits his team, support from friends and the community, plus his racing sponsors (P.A. Power Equipment, Maxima Racing Oils, A-1 Auto, In-Graphic Detail, Don Love Trucking, DogHouse Powder Coating and Sailing ‘S’ Orchards.)

“The salt flats were a ‘go’ this year after having a poor, unusable surface (unfit for racing) for the last two years. Our team was very anxious to finally get a chance to test our

brand new engine for the 2016 season. The last time we ran on the salt was in August 2013 when we successfully broke two records in the 100cc blown fuel class.

My entry for the 2016 season entailed a one-step up class change from 100cc to 125cc displacement, remaining in the blown fuel category. I used the same chassis as the earlier record-holding motorcycle, so handling remained good and unchanged, except it now had an entirely new engine with a sizable increase in power, and hopefully much FASTER! This new engine was hand-built in my Sequim shop and is a ‘hybrid’ one-off design composed of lower-half Kawasaki and upperhalf Yamaha (say “KawaYami”) with a much higher level of tuning than the previous engine.

We did a few test runs at the Sequim Valley airport, but the limited runway length would not allow me to attain any full-speed runs, I could only utilize five of the six speeds in the transmission. The bike pulled ‘like a freight train’ through those first five gears, so we new we had a good chance at taking the record with it at Bonneville.

At Bonneville Salt Flats, we set up camp on a hillside above the lake bed. We assembled our pit/shelter on the salt, unloaded the bike and proceeded through tech inspection with no discrepancies.

In Phase 1 (a straight run with methanol fuel), we attained a speed of 108.75 mph. The current record was 100.8 mph (set in the 1980s), so this qualified us to do a back-up run the following morning.

Early the next morning, while we were staged at the starting line warming up the engine, we suffered our first breakdown! Two of the four cylinder-base fasteners had failed, with the bolt heads shearing/popping off at their ends, allowing the cylinder assembly to come loose from the lower engine cases. We retreated to the pits for repair.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR How about using some common sense?

It’s been suggested that common sense trumps juris prudence as a prerequisite for Supreme Court justice.

And, the Constitution is sacrosanct, not open to interpretation.

Forget about those pesky amendments.

Imagine, if you will, a want ad: “Supreme Court justice wanted.

No experience necessary. Common sense a plus.”

Why not advertise for the presidency as well? A pizza magnate, a neurosurgeon and now a real estate mogul is vying for the job.

Our bureaucracy looks like Lucy’s barbecue anyway so what have we got to lose?

Roger B. Huntman Sequim (Editor’s note: This letter is reprinted from the Sept. 14 edition; an editing error is fixed here. — MD)

Application of common sense needed With reference to: “Wanted: Sense regarding the Supreme Court” (Sequim Gazette, Sept. 14, page A-12): Is the writer denying that the “Constitution is sacrosanct, not open to interpretation”? If the Constitution is not sacrosanct, why take

A-12

an oath to “Protect, preserve and defend the Constitution of the United States”?

As for the “want ads” I might remind the writer that Supreme Court Justices are Presidential appointments and that the people of the United States elect the President.

What’s wrong with “A pizza magnate, a neurosurgeon and now a real estate mogul vying for the job”? Our Constitution states that the person(s) vying must be a U.S. citizen and have attained a certain age, it doesn’t require that a person must have graduated summa cum laude in political science from some Ivy League university.

My last question: Has the writer an aversion to the application of common sense?

Sequim’s Back to School Fair impresses

I was very impressed with the Back to School Fair that was held at the Boys & Girls Club on Aug. 27. I had no idea the large amount of participation by groups sharing services and information, and all the families in need of these supplies and services.

And what a treasure the Boys & Girls Club is for our community … I did not realize.

I am so glad I was able to be part of this. My thanks to everyone involved with this project … it is well worth the time and effort.

Hardly sportsmanlike

My mother was excited to move to Sequim and delighted in her yard and property of forest. She and my stepfather moved to this place to retire and find peace. My mother can’t do a lot of physical activity, so she loves to watch the animals in her yard. I remember the day she posted the pictures of a doe that had given birth in her yard with the fawns. She posted pictures to Facebook periodically, with mother deer and babies.

She loved them a great deal.

It was with a broken heart that she reported to my siblings and I, that a neighbor had shot the mother deer with a crossbow as he lured the deer into his yard. These were deer that trusted all humans, so it wasn’t really sport, but slaughter. They also trespassed onto my mother’s property trying to hunt down the injured deer. They just didn’t seem to “get” what they did to an entire neighborhood that had even named most of the deer. They then tried to make my mother and stepfather look like they were trouble-makers

and denied the incident, only to later on admit this as they again tried to “retrieve” the deer.

The fawns have been in my mother’s yard alone with no mother since the incident. Another fawn appeared in their yard today. I have watched all the joy go from my mother. I work as a therapist; neighbors such as this would be a case of someone who has “no boundaries.” I imagine they had their thoughts of “country living” a little warped. Where my mother lives, there are a lot of retirees who love nature and wildlife around them. That’s why they retired where they did.

In my home state of Utah, there is deer hunting every year. Rule of thumb: You normally don’t shoot does. You definitely don’t shoot does with fawns.

Also, it’s a sport, so you don’t shoot them like shooting fish in a barrel. You also don’t hunt down an injured doe on your neighbor’s property without their permission and at night. You might as well be hunting deer in a petting zoo.

I see nothing right with any of this.

If you insist on wanting to murder wildlife, could you please at least do it in a responsible and sportsmanlike way?

BY ROB OLLIKAINEN Olympic Peninsula News Group

Left unchecked, the Clallam County budget for 2017 would be $2.4 million upside down.

County officials will spend the next few months working to close that gap for next year.

“Obviously, this won’t be the final budget,” Commissioner Mike Chapman said in a Sept. 13 presentation at the Clallam County commissioners’ meeting.

The preliminary roll-up budget shows flat revenues of $34.7 million and roll-up expenditures of $37.2 million in the county’s general fund for day-to-day operations.

The document, available at www.clallam.net, is the sum of 93 budgets in 20 county departments that reflects all services, contracts and labor agreements required for next year, County Administrator Jim Jones said.

It does not include some $2 million in new spending requests from elected and non-elected department chiefs.

Jones said the preliminary budget

is based on “basically flat, status quo revenue and dealing with expenditure increases that happen because of both inflation and contractual agreements.”

Chapman said commissioners have “a lot more work to do” before they adopt a final budget in early December.

“Hopefully, the department heads and elected officials will bring some ideas to the table to help close down this gap a little bit,” Chapman said.

“It would not be prudent to pass a budget with that large of a gap.”

Since county budCHAPMAN gets must be balanced, the projected $2.4 million structural deficit would be covered by general fund reserves.

Clallam County will end this year with a “still healthy” $10.2 million reserve fund, $6.7 million of which is restricted for specific purposes, commissioners were told. Meanwhile, the county Road Department is projecting a $7.9 million shortfall with $13.7 million in revenue and $21.6 million in expenses.

Chapman, a 16th-year commissioner who is running for state representative this fall, noted that preliminary budgets are typically “out of balance.”

“I don’t think this ($2.4 million) number is all that unusual at this time,” Chapman said.

Jones agreed.

“The real budget that gets passed, still conservatively, is generally less than half of the exposure,” Jones said.

Chapman asked Jones to prepare a comparison of preliminary budgets, JONES adopted budgets and actual performance at year’s end, which Jones provided shortly after the meeting.

The analysis showed a $1.9 million nine-year average structural deficit in the preliminary budget, a $1.1 million eight-year average shortfall in the adopted budget and a $155,317 seven-year average actual use of reserves.

Clallam County added an average of about $1 million to its general fund reserve in 2012, 2013 and 2014 before drawing $455,974 from reserves last year.

“This analysis demonstrates the significance of the budget reduction work that takes place between the roll-up budget, the adopted budget and during the year,” Jones wrote in an email.

Jones and budget director Debi Cook have begun a series of budget meetings with elected officials and department heads. Budget and Road Department planning presentations will be held in each commissioner’s district Sept. 27-29.

Commissioners will hold budget meetings with individual depart-

ments from Oct. 5-7. Jones will present a recommended budget to the board Nov. 15.

Two public hearings will be held in Port Angeles on Dec. 6 before a final budget is adopted by resolution.

As part of last week’s presentation, human resources director Rich Sill briefed commissioners on staff turnover resulting from retirements.

Clallam County has replaced the equivalent of 34 full-time employees so far this year and officials expect to replace another 20-25 before year’s end, Sill said.

The equivalent of 46 full-time staffers left county employment last year and the trend is expected to continue in 2017 and 2018, Sill said.

Because each layoff costs the county $30,000-$35,000 in unemployment payments, Sill advised the board to consider attrition as a means to reduce staff should it decide to eliminate positions.

“Those kinds of issues are really much more impactive of the staff and service levels if they’re done at one time where a decision is made for cuts versus doing them ahead of time where you don’t impact families and lives and so forth,” Sill said.

Said Chapman, “It makes no sense to hire someone in September and lay them off in December.”

“Layoffs are not a good deal for the taxpayer because we’re selffunding on unemployment insurance,” he added.

From page A-12 Last May, the Wall Street Journal warned “the trajectory of the debt is worrisome for one inescapable reason: When you owe a lot of money and interest rates rise, your interest tab mounts.”

President Obama will leave the White House known as “Mr. $20 Trillion,” The Associated Press reported a year ago. On his watch, our debt nearly doubled.

It was $10.6 trillion when he entered the Oval Office.

The Cato Institute reported by 2024 that interest payments will rise to more than $876 billion. “Not long afterward, we will be paying a trillion dollars every year just for interest on the debt. By 2035, in fact, interest on the debt will be tied with Medicare as the second largest line item in the federal budget, trailing only Social Security.”

Cato’s Michael Tanner reported in 2014: “Under this scenario, debt held by the

The following day, post repairs, we ran again and requalified with a 116.75 mph average speed. Again, we lined up and began our backup run. Everything was going well until I reached 80-90 mph when I felt a cool mist hitting my neck beneath my helmet. The first thought that came to mind was that I had a fuel leak, spraying (methanol alcohol). This is when I had thoughts of being a human candle — definitely not good!

After quickly shutting down the engine and coming to a safe stop on the return road, I removed my helmet only to discover the mist was merely water coming from the radiator wash-down just prior to the run. Salt accumulates on the front side of the radiator from the front wheel and we use a small weed sprayer with tap-water to clean and remove salt build-up.

Third qualifying run, we hit 123.32 mph! ‘We must be doing something right,’ we were all thinking. Once again we line up in the morning and give it a try, and this time we succeed in our record backup run with a speed of 120.54 mph.

Next we go to the impound to disassemble the engine and allow inspectors to measure our engine bore and stroke to verify our displacement is correct for our class (no cheating allowed). Upon completion of inspection, we receive our certified new ‘record’ and celebrate accordingly, 121.9 mph!

In Phase 2, we had planned all along that if we could set the record using 100 percent methanol fuel and if the engine was still in good shape, we would attempt “tipping the can.” In racing terms, that means adding a percentage of nitromethane to our methanol fuel. Adding nitro to methanol has quite a positive effect on power output, but it also can cause serious engine damage if you’re not careful.

We test ran it on our portable dyno in the pits and it sounded like a different engine.

We made our first attempt with the nitro mix but the engine, however, was not happy. When loaded in top gear, the engine misfired the entire run. On the second try, we installed a new sparkplug thinking that we may have fouled the old one, same problem — misfire. On the third try, we installed a different size carburetor needle to

Bill Peach directed Jones to hold off on new hires and look for opportunities to restructure through the budget process.

Commissioner Mark Ozias had a planned absence for the Sept. 13 meeting.

“Ultimately, at some point, I’m sure that the future board of commissioners will have to start a conversation about new revenue,” Chapman said, “or cut core programs.”

Chapman warned the second half of next year could be “very different than we’re budgeting right now” because of cuts associated with the state’s $3 billion education funding mandate.

“I think we need to avoid two things: a lot of layoffs because that’s not a good deal for the taxpayer and try to get a budget number that’s a little more reasonable,” Chapman said.

Peach agreed that next year’s budget is “going to be a real challenge.”

“We may not have a full answer by July 1 next year,” Chapman added.

“It’s going to be a very fluid year for local governments.”

lean out the fuel mixture. Bingo! The engine ran without any misfire and I made a complete two-mile run.

We lined up once more and while waiting our turn, the wind had picked up, putting all motorcycles on hold. This was day six we had been working/running nonstop. We sat and waited for about one hour for the wind to let up but it didn’t. Tired and hot, we decided to call it quits for this season. We were all very satisfied with a new record.

It wasn’t until we were on the way home to Sequim when I decided to do the math on our last run. I discovered that I had completed the last run in fifth gear, totally missing/forgetting to shift into top (sixth) gear.

Next year, we will return to set the record up a notch or two.”

public alone would reach an astounding 205 percent of GDP (our nation’s total economic output) by 2045.

Shortly after that, the CBO says it is unable to make further projections because no one might be willing to buy U.S. government debt.”

Today, we owe $19.5 trillion.

That is enough money that if you stack the equivalent number of $1 bills, it would circle the Earth 75,558 times.

Next month, Treasury will sell another $1.5 trillion.

Telling voters that every American man, woman and child owes $60,000 and every U.S. taxpayer’s share of the debt is $163,000 because of our borrowing habits doesn’t resonate.

To get the point across, the Peter G. Peterson Foundation is spending millions running ads across the nation attempting to interject the national debt into the 2016 election campaign discussion.

Peterson is urging voters to “Ask for a Plan!” The core

message: “As the debt grows, money for other programs like education will shrink. In just eight years, interest on the debt will be our third largest federal program. Bad news for our bridges and roads.”

Former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels is even blunter.

He told Congress recently: “When today’s young Americans learn the extent of the debt burden we have left them, they will legitimately question the premises of selfgovernment.”

Hopefully, voters will stop and think about what ramping up government borrowing does to our next generations of Americans — the ones who will have to pay the bills.

The state has made its disregard of the treaties shockingly clear, going so far as to tell the appeals court that the treaties would not prevent the state from blocking every salmon stream in western Washington.

The state says it would never do that, yet we continue to lose salmon habitat faster than it can be restored. Salmon populations continue to decline as a result and we have multiple listings of western Washington salmon stocks under the Endangered Species Act. The state has a duty to protect and restore habitat for the salmon, treaty tribes and everyone else who lives here.

Denying that responsibility, and the treaty rights it represents, hurts tribal and state efforts to work together for salmon recovery.

We ask Gov. Inslee and Attorney General Ferguson to take a stand in the best interests of all citizens in the state and end the long, misguided attempts to deny our treaty rights.

every stage of their life cycle. The state has been fixing them so slowly it would need more than 100 years to finish the job.

In 2013, Martinez gave the state 17 years to reopen 90 percent of the habitat blocked by its culverts in western Washington.

“Washington has a remarkably onesided view of the treaties,” Appellate Court Judge William Fletcher wrote. “Washington characterizes the treaties’ principal purpose as opening up the region for settlement. Opening up the Northwest for white settlement was indeed a purpose of the United States.

“But it was most certainly not the principal purpose of the Indians. Their principal purpose was to secure a means of supporting themselves once the treaties took effect.”

The court is right. Through the treaties we gave up nearly all of the land that is today western Washington, but to ensure our survival as a people we kept for ourselves the rights to fish, hunt and gather in all of our traditional places. Our

Elwha restoration gets international kudos SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF

The collaborative work of the U.S. Department of the Interior and the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe to restore the Elwha River was recognized as a world renowned restoration project during the awarding of the

2016 Thiess International Riverprize.

Riverprize is an annual award given by the International River Foundation to recognize and support the premier examples of river restoration management.

The award was presented during an award ceremony at

the 19th International River Symposium on Sept. 14 in New Delhi, India.

The Elwha River was recognized as one of three Riverprize finalists for its unprecedented approach to restoring salmon populations through the largest orchestrated dam removal

project in history. The Elwha River Restoration Project also included numerous other restoration elements including fisheries management, reseeding and replanting, water management and treatment, sediment management and educational activities. These

coordinated activities came after decades of debate, planning and collaboration.

“The Elwha River Restoration is a shining example of what can happen when diverse groups work together to recognize rivers for their many contributions to our culture, economy and environment,” U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell said.

Between 2011-2014, the

two dams on the Elwha River were removed, resulting in the release of millions of cubic meters of sediment downstream and the reopening of fish passage upstream, past former dam sites into protected habitats of Olympic National Park. The project now serves as a living laboratory of cultural and ecosystem restoration as the salmon return to the river.

The new trestle will be open for the Dungeness River Festival. Last year, the full bridge wasn’t open quite yet as crews worked on replacing the trestle that was partially downed on Feb. 6, 2015, by the river and trees.

McCracken finds a diverse crowd enjoys her romance novels

BY MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

Author Alice McCracken, 74, also known by the pen name Dorothy Rice Bennett, knew she had to find something constructive to do in the wake of sorrowing news.

That creative outlet became her second book “Girls on the Run,” a

romantic fiction novel, about two 20-somethings on the run for different reasons.

McCracken, a retired therapist and journalist, said the beginnings of “Girls on the Run” followed the death of her long-time partner, a battle with diabetes and emergency gallbladder surgery.

“Life was pretty much in the toilet for me,” she said.

So she opted to do two things — get a puppy and turn to writing.

‘When We Rise’

Sophia Engvist finds inspiration in six-song EP

BY MICHAEL DASHIELL Sequim Gazette

The inspiration can come from different parts of the world around her, Sophie Engkvist says — even from inside.

“It’s the whole world — I never know where it’s going to come from,” says the Sequim-based singer-songwriter.

From a story in the news to a bird flying by, the next tune oftentimes simply happens.

“I just kind of find it everywhere. I don’t listen to a lot of other people’s music,” Engkvist says.

“I have a lot of sound going inside of me.”

That’s the root of Engkvist’s newest creation,

a six-song EP “When We Rise” she created with the help of Sequim producer Jeremy Cays and a trio of instrumentalists.

“When We Rise” — which Engkvist plans to showcase in an open house release party set for 3-5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24, at Adagio Bean and Leaf, 981 E. Washington St. — is actually a twoand-a-half-year labor of love project. Engkvist and Cays will be on hand to talk about the EP. “These were the songs in my head (going) around and around,” Engkvist says. “They seemed to all fit the theme of, ‘Raising up the planet.’ It was logical to put it all together.”

On her recent EP, Engkvist provides the words and melody while guest artists Nancy Rumbel (of Tingstad & Rumbel fame) on English horn and oboe, local violin phenom Kate Powers and Nashville, Tenn., artist Mark Baldwin on guitar fill out the sound.

SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Library presents Native Film Night with “Tracing Roots” as the featured film at 6 p.m.

Wednesday, Sept. 28, at the Red Cedar Hall, Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Campus, 1033 Old Blyn Highway, Blyn.

“Tracing Roots” is a portrait of an artist and a mystery. The film follows master weaver and Haida elder Delores Churchill on a journey to understand the origins of a spruce root hat found with Kwäday Dän Ts’ìnchi, the Long Ago Person Found, a 300-year-old traveler discovered in Northern Canada in a retreating glacier.

Churchill’s quest crosses cultures and borders, involving artists, scholars and scientists, raising questions about the meaning of connection, knowledge and ownership.

Matt DuBeau, museum curator for Olympic National Park, will be at this screening to discuss the fragment of a woven cedar basket that was found in 1993 at the edge of a snowfield near a parking lot at Obstruction Point. He also will bring some artifacts from the park collection.

This event is free and open to the public. No reservations are required. Call 681-4632 or email library@jamestowntribe.org for more information.

A&E BRIEFS

SWD look very similar to the fruit flies we refer to as vinegar flies. They favor our mild climates and are a real threat to local fruit crops.

Unlike everyday vinegar flies, SWDs attack healthy ripening fruit as well as damaged or split fruit. Their feeding larvae can quickly destroy soft fruit such as blueberries, cherries, peaches, plums, raspberries and strawberries. Furthermore, the SWD has a rapid reproduction rate and can hatch from four to 10 generations per season depending on environmental conditions, leading to a serious infestation of an entire crop.

The female is the dangerous one of the species as she dons an ovipositor that can lay eggs under the surface of undamaged fruit, still on the plant at pre-harvest. The fruit appears caved in where

Theatre+ production of “A Nice Family Gathering,” by Phil Olson, will be conducted at The Fifth Avenue Active Senior Living Center from 6-8 p.m. Monday-Tuesday, Sept. 26-27. The show calls for two men (60-70), two women (60-70), two men (3040) and two women (20-30).

Interested parties are asked to attend one of auditions in the upstairs card room of the center at 500 W. Hendrickson Road, Sequim. For more information, contact Kath Beecher at 714-515-9271. the ovipositor punctured the skin; larvae activity further destroys the fruit to complete the metamorphosis.

There are no registered insecticides that will control maggots within fruit, so chemicals must target adults with the intent to eliminate adult flies before they mate and lay eggs.

Home growers are encouraged to start monitoring for adult SWD before fruit ripens to determine when to apply insecticides. (See cru. cahe.wsu.edu/CEPublications/FS049E/FS049E.pdf for more information.)

To reduce populations of flies that might infest next year’s crop or later-ripening varieties, pick fruit regularly.

Remove overripe or damaged fruit which may attract SWD. Remove infested and fallen fruit from the garden.

Discard infested fruit in a sealed container or bury it at least six inches deep in an area that will not be disturbed.

PA Players stage ‘I Hate Hamlet’ SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF Whether to be Hamlet or not is one of the questions answered with wit, charm and a lot of fun in the Port Angeles Community Players’ comedy “I Hate Hamlet”

by Paul Rudnick.

“I Hate Hamlet” opens at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, at the Port Angeles Community Playhouse, 1235 E. Lauridsen Blvd. It continues at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 24, 27, 30, Oct. 1, 4, 7 and 8, and at 2 p.m.

Sept. 25, Oct. 2 and 9. Tickets are $15 for adults, $8 for students and children with Tuesday performances set for $15 reserved or $8 at the door for festival seating.

Andrew Rally, played by Brian Wendt, has some decisions to make. He was just cast in the role of Hamlet but doesn’t want to do it. His apartment was once owned by a larger than life character, whose presence is everywhere, his girlfriend, played

by Misha Casella-Blackburn, has taken a vow of chastity and he has an offer to return to television, where he was a success.

Along the way he is influenced by his agent (Kathy Balducci), his New York real estate agent (Mindy Gelder), and his producer buddy (Michael Aldrich) who wants him to return to Los Angeles and a lucrative project.

But it’s not until the ghost of John Barrymore (played by Pat Owens), thought to be the greatest Hamlet, takes him under his wing that he discovers that above all he must be true to himself.

Barbara Frederick directs the play which is suitable for all ages with parental/guardian guidance. It opens the Community Players’ 64th season with season passes available through Oct. 9. Purchase tickets at Odyssey Bookshop, 114 W. Front St., Port Angeles, online at www. pacommunityplayers.com or at the door. For more information, visit its website or call 452-6651.

she chose younger characters for her second book because she “needed my characters to have more opportunities than what I was feeling at the moment.”

McCracken’s first book “North Coast,” centers on a lesbian romance novel, while “Girls on the Run” follows two women coming from two different spots in life as they meet at a truck stop where Jennifer picks up Stacy. Jennifer is running from threatened violence back home in Pittsburg while Stacy recently had a fight with her family after coming out as a lesbian and being discharged from the military, McCracken said.

The two become friends despite their differences and move to San Francisco where they build their own lives.

“Girls on the Run” follows the women through a year as McCracken said she tries to write in real time in order to watch the characters grow naturally.

“There’s a slow reveal of a relationship that matures,” she said.

To avoid cliches, McCracken said she seeks to include enough details of these women’s lives so that you feel like you’re there with them.

“Critics say if it doesn’t advance the story, don’t put it in,” she said. “I don’t want to over-detail it but I’m told I’m a visual writer. I’ve heard that from so many people.”

While “Girls on the Run” focuses on a lesbian love story, McCracken said she’s been surprised to learn her readership is all types of people from mature

lesbians to mature heterosexual males and females.

“This is a love story with universal themes,” she said.

McCracken said it’s quite a difference living in Sequim compared to other areas.

“When I lived in San Diego, I had a lesbian community that was very much part of my life,” she said. “Here in Sequim I feel like I’m accepted by pretty much everybody.”

Writing books in her 70s has become less intimidating too. After releasing “North Coast,” she feels more comfortable and has become more active with a website blog about the Olympic Peninsula.

“Girls on the Run” marks her halfway point for a bucket list point, too.

“The goal is to finish four books by 80,” she said. “I think I can do it.”

McCracken has found taking up a creative project like writing at an older age to be quite rewarding.

“I’m fulfilling a life’s dream,” she said.

“The little parts of aging that used to bother me don’t bother me so much because I have other things to focus on.”

McCracken hosts a book signing at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 27, at Adagio Bean & Leaf, 981 E. Washington St., with “Girls on the Run” for $15. For more information about McCracken and book promotions, visit www. dorothyricebennett.com.

McCracken uses a pen name she adopted some time ago — Dorothy Rice Bennett — using her mother’s middle name and her maiden name (Dorothy and Rice) and her grandmother’s maiden name (Bennett).

to be better. They bring their own thing and it ends up that much better than I could have done myself.”

“All of the artists are tremendous,” Engkvist says. Baldwin’s additions in particular were “beyond what we imagined; I didn’t have that overall sound in my mind at all.”

Cays was similarly effusive about the guitarist’s additions.

“He knows exactly what needs to happen,” Cays says. “You basically give them a song and they know what to do. In a way you can consider it a roll of the dice, but it’s really not because, (musicians like Baldwin) are really good. “(What he added) warms up everything. It doesn’t make it cluttered or noisy-sounding.”

Putting it all together is Cays, the Carlsborg-based studio owner/producer/engineer with a bevy of local and regional clients.

The challenge with this EP, Cays says, was simply figuring out how the songs would evolve.

“That’s part of the fun of it — it’s really a discovery process, especially with Sophia,” Cays says. “I think she liked the process of trying new things, seeing what might work. She was really open to whatever.”

The two had worked on an album a few years ago and were familiar with each other, Cays says.

“Part of the challenge was, was the style the same or not?” Cays says, noting their first project had more of a New Age or world music feel. “We

decided some of it is going to be very different. It has that (New Age) undertone with sort of a pop electronic, a more modern feel.”

“For her, it always came back to what she was singing. For me, it always had to go back to supporting her voice.”

“He’s a genius,” Engkvist says. “Anyone who works with him knows they sound way better when he gets done. He knows everything.”

For Engkvist, music is more of a hobby — she’s been a full-time pet sitter in the area for about 18 years — but she’d like to make it more of her professional trade.

She was introduced to playing crystal bowls while living in Sedona, Ariz., and that sparked in her a world of music.

“I’m not an instrumentalist,” Engkvist says. “Often when I create, I’m singing with nothing or playing my crystal bowls. Usually the words and

melody will come all together. When I moved here I got my first crystal bowl and started a collection. It inspires me to sing. Any sort of drone effect — the wind, surf, ocean — that drone kind of sound somehow inspires me to sing. It just brings it out in me.”

While she’s not pet-sitting, making more music or learning to create her own music videos, Engkvist is busy promoting her EP with a portion of sales she plans to donate to charities.

“This is not just about the music,” she says “(It’s) about being able to give back … and spreading the message of the music.”

Wolves topple Tigers behind run game SEQUIM GAZETTE STAFF All about the pass? Think again.

Sequim running backs Tyler Conn and Keeshawn Whitney ran for a combined 159 yards and four touchdowns as Sequim showed some versatility in upending their hosts from Centralia 28-14 on Sept. 16.

The Tigers (2-1) jumped out to a lead when quarterback Joey Aliff made a 55-yard pass to Derker Baumel; a failed kick left the game a 6-0.

Sequim (2-1) responded with a scoring drive capped by Whitney’s eight-yard run. A Riley Cowan extra point made it 7-6 Sequim after the first quarter.

The Wolves extended the lead on

a Whitney 30-yard scamper to pull ahead 13-6, but Jose Pineda scored on a three-yard rush and Aliff found Pineda for a two-point conversion to give Centralia, 14-13.

Sequim shut out the Tigers in the second half, however, getting a key stop on a Centralia drive and bouncing back with a 97-yard drive of their own, capped by a five-yard rushing

TD from Conn in the third quarter.

Sequim got a TD rush from Conn, an eight-yard run, in the fourth quarter and a pair of interceptions from James Thayer and Payton Glasser to seal the victory.

SHS earns a split in early matches

BY MATTHEW NASH Sequim Gazette

In their first week of regular season play, the Lady Wolves’ soccer squad split the week with a close loss at home and a dominating road win.

Sequim followed a preseason 7-0 win on Sept.

10 at home with a 1-0 loss at home to the Olympic Trojans (2-0 in league, 4-1 overall) on Sept. 13.

The Lady Wolves continued a tough trend of not being able to score against Olympic. Last year they lost both their games to the Trojans 1-0.

Olympic scored midway through the second half despite Sequim controlling the ball most of the game.

“It was a good opening league test for the girls and an exciting display of soccer,” head coach Derek Vander Velde said.

Sequim had several opportunities to score but couldn’t connect on breakaways and a close free kick. The Wolves’ goalkeeper Claire Henninger

Wolves run strong at Seaside ‘Challenge’

had several saves, particularly in the first half, to maintain a shutout.

Sequim countered the loss with a 3-1 win in Coupeville (1-0 in 1A Olympic League, 2-1-1 overall).

Vander Velde said the Wolves were disjointed in the first half despite finishing the first half up 2-1.

However, he said the girls made needed tactical changes and worked better together and scored another goal.

Sequim’s Jessica Dietzman, Adare McMinn and Hope Glasser all scored and the team took nine shots while Henninger made 14 saves.

Vander Velde also commended the efforts of Eden Johnson, Shayli Schuman, Yana Hoesel, Aylee Bennett and Daisy Ryan between the two games.

Sequim faced North Mason (1-1, 1-1-2) on Tuesday in Belfair and they host North Kitsap (2-0) on Thursday, Sept. 22.

Up for the challenge? You bet.

Several Sequim runners posted strong finishes in Oregon last week, battling hundreds of competitors and varying course conditions at the Three-Course Challenge in Seaside on Sept. 17.

Sequim’s Ash Francis placed fourth, Murray Bingham sixth and Alec Shingleton 19th to help Sequim place 20th out of 41 teams on Seaside’s “hard” course.

Francis finished the hilly 5,000-meter course in 19:50, Bingham in 20:10 and Shingleton in 20:48.

The Wolves’ boys took 22nd out of 38 teams on the “moderate” course and 24th out of 38 teams on the 5k “easy” course, led by Liam Byrne (85th, 18:05).

On the girls’ side, Morgan Bingham raced to a ninthplace finish (24:20) out of 166 runners on the “hard” course. Teammate Kiara Pierson was 11th (23:43) on the “moderate” course and Noelle Bittner was the top Sequim runner on the 4.5k “easy” course, finishing 37th with a 21:38 finish.

The Wolves kick off Olympic League action today, Sept.

21, in Silverdale when they take on the host Olympic Trojans and and Port Townsend Redhawks.

Sequim travels to Belfair to race host North Mason and Bremerton on Sept. 28 and compete at the 21st Curtis Invite in University Place on Oct. 1.

Peninsula’s women got a pair of shutout victories last week heading into their showdown with North Division rival Whatcom in Bellingham on Sept. 21.

On Sept. 14, the Pirates dominated their hosts from Everett 4-0 in a game that exacted a bit of revenge from 2015.

This time around, the Pirates wasted little time in jumping ahead. Maddy Parton, a freshman forward from Leavenworth, broke through in the game’s first minute on an assist from sophomore Hoku Afong.

The Pirates made it 2-0 just 15 minutes later on a goal by freshman midfielder Jazmin Ramos.

Everett kept PC out of the net for most of the second half until sophomore forward Ellie Small, a 10-goal scorer in 2015, notched her first goal of the season thanks to a feed from

Top-ranked Peninsula too strong for Skagit Valley Enough of this come-frombehind business. On their home field, Peninsula’s Pirates proved to be the better squad from start to finish — with some chippiness thrown in at the end.

The Pirates (3-0 in conference play, 5-0-1 overall), who’ve had to rebound from halftime deficits in each of the past four games, scored a win in their first home game of the 2016 campaign after knocking off Skagit Valley 5-1 on Sept. 17.

“I thought we moved the ball well today,” PC head coach Cale Rodriguez said. “We got behind them and that opened up some scoring opportunities.”

Peninsula jumped to a 2-0 lead in the first half, getting a header from Jason Ramos off a free kick at 29 minutes and a penalty kick

Capping the Cardinals On Sept. 17, Peninsula opened their home conference schedule with a 6-0 thrashing against an outmatched and shot-handed Skagit Valley squad.

“Our possession in the midfield was key to this game as we were able to keep the ball from Skagit for a majority,” Peninsula head coach Kanyon Anderson said.

Peninsula wasted little time in taking control, scoring goals in the second and third minutes. Afong scored on an assist from Kennady Whitehead and Parton followed with a header off a cross from Cierra Hamilton.

The Cardinals were credited with an own goal trying to block a sharply struck cross from Afong for the third goal in the 18th minute.

The Lady Wolves swim team opened its regular season on Sept. 15 with a big win in Kingston.

Sequim scored 115 points over the Buccaneers’ 54 with three relays “It was awesome and amazing to see how well our swimmers performed,” said head coach Anita Benitez.

Three relay teams qualified for districts which Benitez said has never happened.

The 200 medley of Isa Benitez, Sonja Govertsen, Sydnee Linnane and Anna Mieche swam 2:09:37 to surpass the 2:20:00 districts time and are about 7 seconds from a state qualifying time.

The 200 free relay qualified too at 1:55.71, with Jasmine Itti, Govertson, Linnane and Mieche, and the 400 free relay swam a 4:39.24 with Isa Benitez, Joie Darminio, JayceeThompson-Porrazzo and Itti.

Three relay team members qualified for districts in indivudal events. Govertson qualified in the 100 free (1:02.21) and 200 IM (2:37.23), Linnane in the 50 free (28.02) and 100 back (1:13.34), and Mieche in the 100 breaststroke (1:19.10) and 200 IM (2:33.55).

The Wolves defeated Kingston 97-73 in 2015 but lost to them 101-82 in 2014.

Sequim traveled to Olympic High School on Tuesday, Sept. 20, and they’ll travel there again on Saturday, Sept. 24, for an invitational where Sequim’s top eight swimmers will compete.

The Trojans defeated Sequim 91-61 last year in head-to-head match-up.

is important. Most importantly, you want her to begin to learn about why we save trash that otherwise would be thrown away. You want her to see that recycling benefits our community and the environment.

The benefits of recycling don’t immediately show when you go to the dump, especially for a young child.

You need to help her see them by talking about them.

Talk with her about the waste that is sent to landfills and incinerators. Talk about how much trash you and your family alone throw away. It is estimated that most Americans contribute over 4 pounds of trash to a landfill each day.

That is a tough concept for a young child to imagine but maybe she can think about how much trash comes from your own neighborhood. Then imagine the trash for the whole city.

Think about where does that trash go? Even if the trash is burned, that has a huge impact on the quality of the air we breathe. At the least the garbage is smashed and buried but

then it is turned into a landmass that is of concern to impact land, air and water quality. Think about how long it takes plastic to disintegrate. It is a problem today to figure out where to put all the landfills. Some landfills are so large they can be seen from space.

But don’t get too complicated if she is a young recipient of all this information. Certainly you want her to understand that if we recycle waste, it saves us using new timber, water and minerals. This helps us save the environment for future generations.

We try to bring young people into the discussion of recycling and saving the environment with the symbol you find on many items that can be recycled.

The phrase “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” is taught to children all over the world in the hope of creating a clean environment. We all know that recycling is a simple way in which every person can contribute to making a better world.

LOUIE a special dog. He makes you earn his trust and affection. Once you earned it, you have a loyal friend. Louie is a happy guy. He is also GREAT with FEMALE dogs (we haven’t found a male dog that he likes yet). He can also be protective of his space, so he will need a fenced yard, and responsible owners to keep him safe! Louie would do best with a bully-experienced owner.

An elective office shall become vacant on the death, resignation or removal of the officer, or for other causes. Vacancies in elective office shall be filled at the next November election, unless the vacancy occurs after the day for filing declarations of candidacy, in which case the vacancy shall be filled at the next succeeding November election. The person elected shall take office upon certification of the results of the election and shall serve until the time when the term of the elective office would have expired had no vacancy occurred. Until a successor has been elected and certified, a majority of the Board of Commissioners shall fill the vacancy by appointment. The Commissioners shall fill a vacancy from a list of three people submitted by the county central committee of the party which the official in office immediately prior to the vacancy represented. In the event that the official in office immediately prior to the vacancy was an “independent candidate” as provided by Charter, a “States No Party Preference” candidate or was from a nonpartisan office, the vacancy shall be filled by the Commissioners as they deem appropriate.

Athletes will test themselves in Big Hurt 2016 STORY BY BRENDA HANRAHAN, SPECIAL SECTIONS EDITOR

It’s Big Hurt time once again.

Big Hurt — a four-leg test of endurance — is set for Saturday, Sept. 24 in Port Angeles. The event promises to push participants to their physical limits while connecting the community and showcasing the outdoor diversity of the North Olympic Peninsula.

Registration closes Sept. 23 and can be completed online at www.bighurtpa.com.

Both individuals in the Iron Division and relay teams gather from far and wide to explore Port Angeles and its scenic surroundings via bike, kayak and foot.

Participants will begin on mountain bikes and ride 16.5 miles on logging roads, single-track trails and pavement before reaching the shores of the new West End Park, located at West Railroad Avenue and North Oak Street along the waterfront in downtown Port Angeles. From the beach, participants will kayak 3 miles, embark on a 30-mile road bike journey and endure a 10-kilometer (6.21-mile) run along the Olympic Discovery Trail.

Although this year marks the second annual Big Hurt, the event is building from the original event that ran from 1997 to 2004. The race quickly grew in that time from 65 to nearly 600 participants and was widely embraced by the communities of the North Olympic Peninsula, as well as visitors.

“Big Hurt was an iconic local event when I first moved to Port Angeles in 2002, but before I got a chance to participate, the event ended,” said Lorrie Mittmann, Big Hurt co-organizer.

“Over the years many local athletes have described how great it was, and they mentioned to me that they would like to see it return; thus, when I got the opportunity to work with Tim [Tucker] and Scott [Tucker], I was energized because I knew we could do it and the community would support us,” Mittmann said.

Mittmann said 104 people participated in the 2015 event and early registration

shows participation will grow this year.

About 150 people had registered for the event as of Sept. 6.

“We expect this number to grow a little by the time registration closes Sept. 23,” Mittmann said.

“I would like to see the Big Hurt grow, but continue to have the local spirit that it has always had,” Tim Tucker added. “The race highlights everything that is great about Port Angeles — it’s a community event through and through.”

Coupled with ample community support, Mittmann, Tim Tucker and Scott Tucker are the primary forces behind the successful return of Big Hurt. This year’s title sponsor is and Mittelstaedt Chiropractic and Massage.

Participants ages 15 and older can race solo in the Iron Division or as a relay team made up of two to four racers. There are 50 spots open in each category.

Teams can be formed for $220, or individuals can race for $85.

Awards will be given for overall top three men and women in the Iron Division and top three overall teams.

Transitions between legs will take place between 11 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Each race participant will be treated to one free beer compliments of Big Hurt and Olympic Distributing.

Peninsula Bottling is providing other snacks and drinks for the racers.

LEGS OF THE RACE Each leg of the race offers a different challenge for participants and highlights recreational opportunities available on the Olympic Peninsula.

LEG 1 — The 16.5-mile mountain bike portion takes place in the foothills above Port Angeles on a combination of dirt logging, single-track and paved roads.

LEG 2 — A 3-mile kayaking portion follows a triangle-shaped course in Port Angeles Harbor that begins and ends at West End Park.

LEG 3 — The 30-mile road bike travels west out of Port Angeles and crosses

the Elwha River with visits to Freshwater Bay and the lower parts of Kelly Ridge on Dan Kelly and Eden Valley roads. It has a cumulative elevation gain of 2,100 feet.

LEG 4 — The final leg is a 10K outand-back run along the Olympic Discovery Trail along the waterfront. It starts and finishes at the West End Park. The course is on a paved surface. During the race, the trail will remain open to the public.

TEAMS Teams will be assigned one timing chip that will be included in and picked up with their race packets. This chip is associated with their racing number and cannot be switched with any other chip.

The chip serves as a baton, being passed from one team member to the next during the event.

There will be a “transition zone” established from the start and finish of each of the event legs with the exception of mountain biking, which will have a remote start line but will finish in the transition zone.

‘Beer bellies’ may brew trouble for men STORY BY MONICA DIXON, PH.D, R.D.

It’s no secret that obesity is widespread — nearly three out of every four men are either overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control, but that “beer belly” may cause men more problems beyond just buying a larger pair of jeans.

A waist size larger than 40 inches indicates a man is at high risk of type-2 diabetes and heart disease.

Most women who gain weight will find it goes to the hips and thighs, but in men extra weight finds its way to the belly.

This fat, called visceral fat — unlike the subcutaneous fat that resides just under the skin on the abdomen, hips, thighs and arms — secretes hormones and compounds that raise inflammation, which contributes to chronicdisease risk.

This can spell bad news when, according to the American Heart Association, more than one in three adult men has some form of cardiovascular disease.

Aging doesn’t help. After age 40, the natural reduction in testosterone means excess calories are stored as visceral fat. Add to that the gradual loss in muscle mass as we age — about 1 pound per year after age 30 — and our metabolism continues to decline, making it easier to gain weight in general, but going straight to the belly in men.

Russ received roughly 7 weeks of Occupational and Physical Therapy during his stay and his functional Russ pictured with his outcomes were outstanding. By the time he was beloved wife Sandra preparing to return home, his balance and endurance had significantly improved.

The good news is that visceral fat is particularly responsive to classic diet and exercise changes.

Here’s some simple ideas to begin to whittle down that belly: • Ditch the sugar-sweetened beverages.

While eating too many calories of any food will contribute to weight gain, some in particular lead to more belly gain than others, and sugar is one of them.

Sugar-sweetened drinks, including soda, fruit juice and punch, energy drinks and many of the concoctions made at your favorite coffee stop can be loaded with sugar and empty calories that find their way right to your waistline.

Substitute water, unsweetened iced tea or sparkling waters instead.

And if you’re a dad, this is a great move to adopt for the whole family, as sugar-sweetened beverages are harmful to children, too.

• Pay attention to your dietary fat.

Saturated fat — the kind found in fatty cuts of meat and full-fat dairy products — also has been found to increase belly fat.

Choose more polyunsaturated fats, such as nuts, salmon and seeds and opt for leaner cuts of meat at mealtime, such as flank steak, chicken and fish.

• Eat more whole grains.

In a 2010 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers found that increased intake of refined grains correlated with a greater amount of belly fat, while increasing whole grains did not.

Eat brown rice, quinoa, whole grain breads and pastas instead of white rice, white breads and pasta.

• Reduce screen time.

Screens have become a large part of our lives, and many believe so much time spent sedentary in front of screens has contributed to the obesity epidemic.

Make it a goal to spend no more than two hours a day in recreational screen time activities (time at the office working is a different matter).

Get up out of the chair at half time or the seventhinning stretch and go for a brisk walk or do a few pushups to increase body strength.

Plug in a headset and take calls while you walk around the block. Set a timer on your game station to

remind you when its time to quit and go do something more active.

• Up your produce intake.

Regardless of the abundance of ads on the internet offering instant weight-loss potions, none have yet been found to be more powerful than increasing your intake of fruit and vegetables.

Because they are packed with water and nutrients, foods like leafy greens, celery, tomatoes, watermelon, pineapple and citrus fruits fill you up while keeping your energy levels high.

For men who are moderately active, the Produce for Better Health Foundation recommends two cups of fruits daily and three-and-a-half cups of vegetables for optimum health.

• Skip the treadmill.

If you want to lose a belt size, performing intervals during your workout can help you lose more belly fat than steady-state cardio, according to researchers.

These workouts, much shorter in duration, alternate between moderate and speedy bursts of exercise. Rather than heading out for an hour-long run, run, walk or bike at a moderate pace for a few minutes and then look ahead and sprint to the best of your ability to the next mailbox or light pole. Once you reach your goal, reduce back to your moderate speed, catch your breath and begin looking for your next goal.

• Beware of booze.

Though there’s often nothing better at the end of a long day of work than a drink or two, alcohol can cause havoc with your weight and belly fat.

WEIGHT LOSS: It’s a mind game

<< BELLY continued from Page 9

Alcohol temporarily keeps your body from burning fat, essentially hitting the “pause” button on burning those calories you had from the last meal in order to immediately burn the alcohol calories instead.

When trying to decrease your belly fat, it’s important to limit your intake of alcohol to two or fewer drinks a day, choose lighter calorie beverages, or avoid it all together.

STORY BY STINA POPE, HEALTH COACH

A QUICK REMINDER An easy way to remember these ideas is the phrase “Ready, Set, Go! 5-2-1-0,” a program you’ll hear more about in your community over the coming months as it is launched across the Olympic Peninsula.

It represents remembering to have 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, 2 hours or less of recreational screen time, 1 hour of physical activity every day and 0 sugar-sweetened beverages — evidencebased recommendations that hold true for the entire family, not just men.

Though there is no magic bullet to melt away that spare tire, slow and steady wins the race against belly fat in men.

Making small changes over time, substituting a salad a few days a week for your normal pizza lunch, getting up and moving during commercials, filling a large bottle of ice water in the morning before leaving home for the day, or grabbing some friends for a hike in the Olympics on the weekend will lead to gradual weight loss and improved health over the long term.

THE MIND GAME Then there is the mind game. There is a reason you are overweight. So the first question is simply why?

Perhaps the simple answer is: “I don’t exercise enough, or I eat too much.”

That is probably true, but underneath that answer is another question: So why don’t you exercise enough, or why do you eat too much?

Most people don’t go looking too hard at these questions because they cover pain. Perhaps you don’t exercise because you were picked on as a kid, and the last place you want to go is a gym. Perhaps you eat too much to self-soothe when life is too much to deal with, a normal reaction.

So what to do? Hypnotherapy is one good tool to help open up and release these old patterns of pain, and so is meridian tapping.

Hypnotherapy is a form of psychotherapy used to create subconscious change in a patient in the form of new responses, thoughts, attitudes, behaviors or feelings.

Because hypnotherapy works at the subconscious level, there is an openness for heightened suggestibility and responsiveness.

Meridian tapping is an “umbrella” term that can be applied to several energy-based tapping therapies.

The best known are EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

Meridian tapping repairs blockages or disturbances in the body’s energy system created by negative emotions.

A person chooses a specific emotion such as feeling anger, frustration, embarrassment, insult or belittlement.

During the tapping sequence, the person focuses on the emotion. The tapping of fingertips on various points on the body releases energies, like acupuncture, but without the needles. It is a powerful body-mind process. The combination of physical stimulation and mental challenge is what makes it different and frequently more effective than traditional psychotherapy.

Both hypnotherapy and meridian tapping gently help you identify and then retrain the mind to move into different pathways. For example, you find that movement sounds like a good idea rather than torture, and food becomes an enjoyable experience rather than an addiction to deal with pain.

In 2014, Peta Stapleton, Ph.D., a psychology professor

working at the University of Bond (Australia) ran across meridian tapping (EFT) and wondered if it would work with weight loss.

At the time, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was the gold standard in weight loss. Her research showed stunning results: the EFT results matched the CBT results.

Then, after a year, she went back to the same subjects and found that the people using CBT had regained the weight. The people who had been in the EFT group did not regain. Why? CBT, like most weight-loss programs, uses willpower.

What’s the problem with that?

According to the American Psychological Association, willpower can be defined as the ability to delay gratification, resisting short-term temptations in order to meet long-term goals; the capacity to override an unwanted thought, feeling or impulse; the ability to employ a “cool” cognitive system of behavior rather than a “hot” emotional system; conscious, effortful regulation of the self by the self; and a limited resource capable of being depleted.

There are two major issues raised in this definition.

One is that we know that emotions frequently trump thought processes, and the other is acknowledging that willpower is a limited resource.

EFT does not use will power. It goes after the issues that cause weight gain and retention and gets them out of both body and mind.

It is amazing to see, but at the end of tapping sessions, people can be offered food that they have craved just minutes before, and the cravings are gone.

Not only that, when done thoroughly, the cravings do not come back, because the emotional needs that the cravings were trying to satisfy have been dealt with.

There is no willpower involved, nor does a person need to “believe” anything.

It is a physical response to an emotional stimulus.

<< BIDET continued from Page 14

A GREEN ALTERNATIVE? The amount of water, electricity and trees to produce toilet paper is a hotly debated topic. (OK, not that hotly debated, but maybe it should be.)

Paper production is a highly water-intensive process, and reducing toilet paper consumption in the home will reduce our need for water, electricity and wood pulp.

A commonly cited measurement of the amount of toilet paper used by Americans each day is 57 sheets on average. For a family of four, that works out to about six Costco sized packages of TP a year.

When our family of four did the math, we were buying six to eight Costco packages a year.

After installing our bidets, we’ve dropped that to three packages per year, saving us money, storage space and some natural resources.

With production costs rising, toilet paper manufacturers are raising prices, lowering sheet count or even reducing sheet size to hide the increase in cost.

So reducing our consumption makes sense (and cents) to us — and our septic system doesn’t have to work as hard either.

COMMON FAQS There are a lot of misconceptions about bidets, how to use them and who they’re for.

Here are some of the more common ones we hear: Aren’t bidets just for women?

This is simply because the person does not understand how the modern bidet toilet seat works.

To quote a famous book title, “Everyone Poops,” using a

bidet to clean up “fore and aft” makes sense for women and men, not to mention potty training children.

How do you not get soiled water all over the place?

The answer is anatomy, geometry and years of research.

The “target” area is concave, thereby containing and directing the stream of water downwards. The angle of the washing spray is 42 degrees with the nozzle staying well out of harm’s way.

The volume of water, the pressure, the amount of air introduced to the water stream and the duration of the washing has been refined over decades to be incredibly efficient today.

It just seems weird shooting water up my butt.

We will admit, it does sound strange when you put it that way.

But the reality is water does not go “up into your butt.”

The stream of warm water is directed at the target area and merely washes away any “debris” left after toileting.

Or in the case of the separate bidet nozzle for feminine washing, it provides an even gentler, diffused spray of warm water to cleanse the entire vulva.

How do you get dry afterwards? Aren’t you dripping wet?

Due to the efficiency of the spray nozzles, very little water is used (about 8 ounces per wash) and the wash area is pretty well confined.

Users have multiple options to dry off: a few sheets of toilet paper, a towel, the built-in blow dryer or just air dry.

I don’t have an outlet near my toilet. What do I do?

This is very commonly heard, but we always say,

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”

Most toilet rooms have electricity running through the walls or ceiling close to the toilet. It’s generally not difficult to have an outlet installed or to use a heavy gauge extension cord from a CFCI outlet nearby.

I don’t have room or money to install a separate bidet.

The modern bidet toilet seats replace the existing toilet seat. No plumping is needed, no additional space is needed and with some models, no electricity is needed either. And due to their growing popularity, prices have dropped considerably in the past 5 years on bidet seats as well.

Who are bidet toilet seats good for?

Well, basically everyone. But more specifically, there are groups of individuals that can benefit the most from using a bidet toilet seat.

Any condition you can think of that compromises your ability to wipe would be cause to consider a bidet seat.

The list is long, but here is a summary of conditions and situations where a bidet toilet seat is very helpful: • Surgeries: arm, hand, shoulder, back, colon, prostate, hysterectomy, etc.

• Arthritis, bursitis, scleroderma • ALS/MS/Parkinson’s • Back issues (trouble twisting or bending) • Dementia, Alzheimer’s (memory issues of any type) • Stroke • Amputees (accidents, veterans, differently abled) • Broken bones (hard to wipe with your arm in a cast) • UTIs, hemorrhoids, IBD, IBS, Crohn’s, colitis, anal fissures BIDET continued on Page 16 >>

One of the most basic is proper bathroom hygiene and when that isn’t done well, the problems begin to multiply.

There are a whole host of issues that crop up in our older years. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) affect 50-60 percent of women at some point in their lives.

Poor toileting hygiene can contribute to UTIs. Especially common in older women, their bodies respond to the infection differently than younger women.

Sudden behavior changes, including increased signs of confusion, agitation or withdrawal, are often confused with dementia and the UTI goes untreated too long, spreading to the bloodstream and becoming life threatening.

Proper washing with a bidet toilet seat has been cited by many patients and caregivers as an effective way to combat UTIs. In men, constipation due to prescription medicines and hemorrhoids are very common.

According to WebMD, antacids, antidepressants, some blood pressure medicines, cold medicines, calcium and iron supplements and narcotic pain medicines are frequently associated with constipation.

Use of the bidet seat can aid in relieving constipation and healing hemorrhoids.

be humiliating, uncomfortable and inconvenient, not to mention costly.

By staying in control of this basic Activity of Daily Living (ADL), we not only stay cleaner and healthier but we also get to maintain our personal dignity and the pride of independence.

DIGNITY AND INDEPENDENCE Preserving our ability to wipe our bottoms can go a long way in allowing us to stay in our own homes.

Losing this ability has some messy consequences, to say the least.

Hiring someone to clean (wipe) us can

SO HOW DO THEY WORK? The electronic bidet toilet seat is the most popular bidet option.

The bidet toilet seat replaces your old toilet seat.

They draw fresh, clean water from the incoming supply line before the toilet

tank. The bidet seat heats the water internally just when you need it and can supply an endless amount of hot water for any washing need.

The washing wand has two nozzles in the end: one for rear washing, one for front or feminine washing.

When not in use, this wand is safely and hygienically tucked away inside the bidet seat housing.

When you’re ready to wash, you simply press the appropriate button (rear or front) on the remote control or the unit itself.

The nozzles flush out any cold water in the lines, the wand extends out approximately 4-5 inches and begins washing.

When you feel you’re clean or the automatic cycle ends, the wand will return to the housing and self-clean by flushing water around the entire wand and nozzle openings, ready for the next use.

Most models come with built-in warm air dryers that you can activate with the push of a button. Or you can grab a few sheets of toilet paper, use a towel or just air dry.

That’s all there is to it.

HOW DO THEY SAVE MONEY? There are many ways regular bidet seat use will save you money in the long run.

Reduction of toilet paper and/or wet wipes is the most obvious.

“Wet Wipes Box says Flush. New York’s Sewer System says Don’t” reads the headline in a March 13, 2015 New York Times article.

“Flushable” wipes are costing municipal water treatment systems millions of dollars in damaged machinery, clogged pipes and plugged up pumps.

Sewer systems all over the country, from Hawaii to New York, are experiencing an unprecedented increase in wipe related costs.

These costs are going to be passed on to us, the utility customers.

Wipes average $0.04 each while toilet paper is $0.0017 to $0.006 per sheet with an average of $0.0034 per sheet.

At these prices, one wipe is 1,200 percent more costly than one sheet of TP. If you used six sheets of TP for every one wipe, the difference comes down to 200 percent.

With an average usage of two wet wipes per toilet visit and six visits a day (ladies use wipes and TP more than men, so the men reading this may be a little bewildered by the numbers), that works out to $.48 cents a day or $175.20 per year in wet wipes per person.

For toilet paper, the numbers are understandably less, $0.12 cents per day or $44.67 per person per year. For a family of four using wipes the cost is staggering, $700.80 and for toilet paper, a conservative $178.70 per year.

Younger children often have difficulty An electronic cleaning properly and often use too much bidet toilet seat toilet paper, clogging toilets and causing costly plumbing bills.

Kids pick up on bidet seat usage quickly, become toilet trained sooner and wash more effectively.

Another cost savings comes from few laundry loads for soiled underwear.

You’ll save money on your septic system as well. Less paper down the drain means longer life for your system and greater time between pumping bills.

Saving money isn’t all bidets are about.

In fact, the ancillary benefits can far outweigh the cost savings.

Washing with clean, warm water not only does a better job than dry paper or chemically treated wet wipes, but it feels much more comfortable.

You will feel “shower fresh” each time you use your bidet seat.

Being cleaner means less itching, less bacteria, less odor and less work for everyone. for repair.

Sitting down on a heated seat if you’re not expecting it can be a little surprising, not to mention having to figure out what button does what.

Bidet toilet seats have been a “best kept secret” of international travelers, foreign-born citizens and select others for over 25 years in America, yet many people still do not know of the life-changing devices nor how easy they are to obtain, install or use.
