To Orcas and Friday Harbor PS Express offers fast, friendly, reliable tours, trips

By Lorna Mann Puget Sound Express has been wowing residents and visitors alike with daily trips to see the Puget Sound’s resident and transient whale population for 30 years now.

A family-run business to the core thanks to the Hankes, all who step aboard the PS Express fleet of whale watching boats can expect to be treated like part of the family. With knowledgeable, friendly and compassionate staff onboard you can be sure that you are in good hands as they whisk you away to the best whale watching spots.

PS Express has expanded

over the years and now boasts multiple options for those who want to see some of the Puget Sound’s resident wildlife.

Currently, PS Express offers two departures a day for their four-hour whale watching trip from Port Townsend. Whale watchers will spend the entire time out on the water.

The full-day whale watching trip to Friday Harbor is offered daily from Port Townsend and includes two hours in Friday Harbor, giving you a chance to stretch your legs ashore and have a leisurely lunch before the return trip.

New for 2015 is a half day trip from Edmonds/

2 August 2015 Jefferson County Chamber Newsletter

Seattle to Friday Harbor on the newest and fastest boat in PS Express’s fleet, the Chilkat Express. The Chilkat is a hydrofoil jet that has no propellers, which means not only can it get visitors to the San Juan Islands in little more than an hour, it is also one of the quietest whale watching boats in the Northwest. These trips last about four and a half hours and there are currently two departures a day from Edmonds. Transportation from Seattle hotels can be also arranged, for an easy door-to-door experience.

The VIC Volunteers took the full day trip to Friday Harbor with PS Express and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Whales were spotted and the volunteers were impressed with the wildlife knowledge of the boat’s crews who were on hand to point out starfish, sea birds and eagles along with knowing the difference between individual whales in the resident Orca pods.

All of PS Express’s boats include indoor seating for everyone, and ample deck space outside for people to stand and enjoy the open air. Snacks and drinks can

be purchased during all tours, including the Hanke family’s famous Blueberry Buckle, which should definitely be sampled!

The all-day tour also acts as a foot passenger ferry to Friday Harbor. Oneway tickets are available if you would like to stop off in Friday Harbor before continuing to another destination or mode of transport. It is also not uncommon for people to spend a night or two in Friday Harbor before returning on the boat.

Main Street celebrates 30 years

By Mari F. Mullen Executive Director This is a special year for the Port Townsend Main Street Program—it’s our 30th anniversary! It was founded in 1985 as one of the five pilot programs in Washington State by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. ThenMayor Brent Shirley was instrumental in establishing our program, with support from the City of Port Townsend, business leaders and dedicated volunteers. In 2000, Port Townsend was the first city in Washington State to win the National Main Street Award.

Three decades later, it’s still going strong.

The program is powered by a small staff and volunteers who work closely with community partners and the City of Port Townsend to enhance the commercial historic districts—Uptown and Downtown.

We promote our town’s history, support our local economy, create foot traffic, work on a cleaner, more inviting streetscape and embrace an

historic preservation ethic.

Our local Main Street program is part of a statewide effort in 32 Main Street communities under the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP); it is coordinated

by The Washington Trust for Historic Preservation. There are 70 plus communities in Washington using the Main Street approach, and over 1,800 programs nationwide.

The program has 1.75 staff (Executive Director Mari Mullen and Program Coordinator, Dawn Pierson), two part-time maintenance workers, contract summer event crew, and 21 volunteers are working in four committees—Organization, Promotion, Design and Economics. We coordinate 25 events a year—from our award-winning promotions like Art Wave, Girls’ Night Out and The Victorian Holidays --to Concerts on the Dock, the Uptown Street Fair, Merchant Breakfasts and the Downtown Trick or Treat Parade. Our events drew 12,000 people last year.

We collaborate with 25 community partners and

nonprofits. We helped promote the Chamber’s Old Fashioned Fourth of July and will help the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce and partners on the “Ring in the Holidays and Enjoy Victorian Port Townsend” promotion.

We are collaborating on a “Look Here First” campaign with the Chamber to shine the spotlight on our local economy over the holidays.

We recently launched the Economic Committee’s “Online Building and Business Inventory”, a new tool which maps the buildings and commercial spaces in the historic districts.

Scruggs celebrates 11 years in acupuncture Loran Scruggs of Classical Five Element Acupuncture celebrates 11 years as a licensed acupuncturist here in Port Townsend.

Ludlow Her first degree was in the arts, as a metal sculptor, but interest in the 74Port Breaker Lane Port Ludlow, WA 98365 healing properties of herbs and plants eventually led her to study 360-437-7863 ethnobotany as well. Art and health came together for her at a lecture on what brings toxicity into your life.

The speaker used Chinese medical metaphors like “the liver’s time of year is the Spring; its color is green.” Her interest was piqued, leading her to receive acupuncture treatments and experience their transformative strength. She knew she had found her path.

Loran then studied at the Institute of Taoist Education and Acupuncture, a Classical Five Element program following the Worsley tradition. CFEA is a powerful nature-based healing discipline, advocating the use of energies inherent in all living things to promote the body’s ability to heal itself.

How many times have we become hurt or sick and thought, “I’ll just wait - it will get better?”

Many times this works, but when it doesn’t, acupuncture is what can set the balance, clearing blocks to reset your energy, so your body’s natural inclination to health takes charge.

Loran values the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce as a prime network to connect with other business owners and the greater community of Port Townsend as a whole.

She can be reached directly at Classical Five Element Acupuncture, (360) 643-1096, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Prospective clients can also visit online at www.c5eacupuncture. com

Unity Works will fix interiors, do windows, and clean your home Rayel and Holly Gossett have just relocated from Orcas Island to Jefferson County and are excited to bring their skills, love of community and co-creating beautiful spaces to Port Townsend. Together, they own a family business called Unity Works, “From House to Home with Spirit.”

Holly Gossett Rayel Gossett Rayel founded Unity Works in 1998, focusing on wallboard installation and finishing. The business expanded to offer interior trim work, exterior/ interior painting and pressure washing. Interior remodels have been a major focus in the last decade allowing Rayel an opportunity to engage in more of a creative side of the business.

In 1997, Rayel went to school for biofeedback and integrated the awareness of environmental impact as well as Feng Shui into business practices. He calls this awareness ‘Spatial Harmonics,’ and says of it: “Your home is sacred space; it requires respect. Hiring someone who understands this is investing in the overall energetic health of your home.”

Holly started her cleaning business in 2007 as a window cleaning service in Mt. Shasta, CA. She had year-round residential and commercial clients. Holly finds cleaning glass to be a satisfying and meditative activity; an opportunity to “let the light in” to any environment and brighten peoples’ day.

In 2012, Holly added housecleaning. Her cleaning solutions are non-toxic with the intent to leave a light footprint. She uses pure essential oils to help cleanse the environment energetically as well as create a pleasant, harmonic energy in a space.

Silverwater celebrates 26 years of Is it wise to buy market share? fine dining with VIC celebration

By Lorna Mann The Silverwater Café turns 26 this year! Its emphasis on local, in-season produce has kept it a firm favorite over the years. This summer they have amped up their seafood offerings on a menu that changes to suit what tastes fresh and best. Coowned by David Hero and Alison Hero, Silverwater is a multi-faceted operation that includes the Silverwater Café, The Mezzaluna Lounge, The Starlight Room (operated in conjunction with the Rose Theater) and also a catering business.

Crab cakes, pork empanadas and assorted sweet treats are all to be found on the menu, and with an ever changing specials board, kids’ menus, and pretheater options, you are sure to find something to keep everyone happy.

Townsend, with food being served till 10 p.m. SundayThursday and until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Alison commented that customers appreciate their late open hours, especially when it comes to serving hungry tourists who may

have checked into their accommodation later in the evening. After a long day of travelling, tucking into plates of fresh local fare must be quite a relief! The Mezzaluna Lounge’s late open hours also make it a popular spot during the PT Film Festival.

Is it wise to buy market share?

Retailers feeling the heat of competition sometimes respond by lowering prices.

Does anyone ever win at this game?

Here are some interesting accounting insights.

First, the good news – if a business has a 30 percent gross profit margin and raises prices 10 percent, that business can lose 25 percent of sales and take the same amount of money home.

Hard to believe but true.

Sadly, the reverse is also true. If that same business lowers prices 10 percebnt, it will be necessary to increase sales 25 percent to get back to the same net profit.

Has anyone increased sales 25 percent lately?

Exactly - you can’t win and you won’t break even if you pay the price-cut game.

Perplexed by Small Business Health Insurance?

August 18 free seminar can help you

As a small business owner, you have several options regarding health insurance for owners and employees under the Affordable Care Act. Making decisions about health insurance coverage can be complicated, and small business owners are encouraged to consult an insurance professional for detailed guidance.

Below are a few tips for how the expense of small business health insurance can be best used for tax benefits.

A shareholder of the business who owns more than 2 percent of an S Corporation of the

company has a different set of rules than either owners with less ownership or nonowner employees. If you receive wages from your corporation, your business should be paying the health insurance premiums for you and your family. This turns out to be a great deduction, although a bit complicated to get. You have two options: 1. The business can pay the premiums directly (even if not part of a company group policy-like an individual policy) and get the deduction; or 2. You can pay the premiums and get reimbursed by the company.

The premium becomes a fringe benefit to the owner of the business, added to box one (gross wages) of the owner’s W-2 Form, and then deducted on page one of the owner’s individual tax return. This is THE ONLY WAY for this cost to be fully deductible, and the deduction is only available for greater than 2 percent owners.

For employees and those who are less than 2 percent

apply to businesses of 100 or more FTE (full time equivalents) who do not offer health insurance to at least 70 percent of these FTEs. In 2016, that number of employees is reduced to 50 FTEs and the coverage must be available to 95 percent of these FTEs. Attend a free small business seminar to learn more about health care options for your small business.

owners, your business may be eligible for a tax credit (Small Employer Tax Credit) for a portion of the health insurance your business pays for your employees.

The highest credit is for businesses with 10 or fewer employees whose average wages are below $25,000.

Other credits are available for businesses with up to 25 employees and average wages less than $50,000.

Dear SOS Printing Staff, We really appreciate your time and effort for our project â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ringâ&#x20AC;?. It really helped keep us on schedule.

Sincerely, â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Page Gehrke, Dreamworks Productions, LLC

However, your personal all Program 2008-09 compassion and willingness to help during the recent loss of Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom went beyond customer service, and we really appreciate that.

Farming: GEODUCK They look great.

FACTS Thank You! The kids are gonna LOVE IT! â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Marian Roh Production, The Leader

The geoduck is the largest burrowing clam native to

â&#x20AC;˘ Game schedule

Seed is produced in hatcheries from native broodstock. The most common method of planting is to place 10" to 12" long hollow PVC tubes 3" to 6" in diameter into the beach substrate. The tubes are set in rows, with 3 to 4 geoduck seeds placed into each tube. The tubes are covered with net caps to protect them. After one or two years the tubes are removed, giving the geoducks time to dig deep enough to avoid predators. Geoducks are harvested in about 5 years, one clam at a time, at approximately 1 to 2 pounds.

A water jet is placed alongside the geoduck siphon which temporarily softens the sand, allowing the harvester to gently lift the animal out. This method minimizes the stress to the geoduck and the amount of beach that is disturbed.

Harvested geoducks are placed in containers and tagged before being removed from the beach. Tags include the name of the harvesting company, the exact location and date of harvest. They are transported to a processing facility, cleaned, bagged or boxed and placed under temperature control prior to and during shipping to restaurants or seafood markets. Strict protocol governs the entire process of handling until it reaches the consumer, assuring temperature control, traceability and the finest geoducks in the world.

Serving you in Port Townsend since 2006 -

Geoducks feed off phytoplankton that occurs naturally in marine waters. Geoducks help to maintain the health of marine waters by virtue of their feeding, which involves filtering up to 120 liters of water a day per animal.

Contributing writer Mike Maddock, in an article for Forbes, offers his favorite 10 resolutions of successful people: • Spend more time on the not-to-do list. Strategy, as Maddock puts it, is the art of sacrifice. Cutting out what matters least helps you focus on what matters most.

• Essential first, email second. Most of us start the day by checking our emails.

Maddock says successful people consider that starting the day with distractions, and avoid it. They start with the most important task of the day, and then check their email.

• Resolve to think about “Who” instead of “What.”

The “who” here pertains to the customer base, the “what” to whatever products or services the company provides.

• Resolve to find your purpose. If you don’t know your company’s purpose or even your own, finding one is the worthiest of resolutions. According to Maddock, “People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it.” Successful people strive to understand their company’s purpose -

and their own.

• Resolve to support a cause. Maddock asserts that there is a cause for everyone, and finding & supporting yours will contribute to your sense of fulfillment.

• Resolve to invent more choices. The more choices you feel you have, the less trapped - and the happier - you will feel, says Maddock. So, when you feel frustrated or unhappy,

resolve to brainstorm for more options/choices.

• Resolve to find a Yin for your Yang. Determine where your passions lie, then go find an equally passionate partner.

• Resolve to get outside your jar. You can’t read the label when you are sitting inside the jar, says Maddock.

Instead of relying only on your expertise, learn how to find other experts solving

similar challenges.

• Resolve to be the creator.

What is the outcome you want? What stands in your way? How do you overcome these obstacles? These three simple questions will keep you from being victimized by any situation.

• Plan your next vacation now. It will feed your optimism and anticipation, and help you to be more productive in the meantime.
