Caring for the community from head to toe Dermatologist promotes safety in the sun

BY ASHLEY MILLER

Babies enter the world as a blank slate. Their skin is a canvas that time illustrates. Freckles, moles, scars and wrinkles add up with each year that passes, far exceeding the number of candles on the birthday cake.

For thousands of individuals in the U.S. each year, skin cancer is a deadly reality. A person dies from melanoma — the most deadly form of skin cancer — every hour, according to the Melanoma Research Foundation.

Melanoma can develop anywhere on the body — including the eyes, scalp, hands and feet — and on any person no matter their age, sex or race. The majority of melanoma is caused by exposure to UV light and

Dr. Agnieszka Niemeyer of Paragon Dermatology encourages safe sun exposure and recommends regular self-checks for abnormal spots and lesions on the skin.

2010 - 2011 Who’s Who sunlight and research shows that it takes just one blistering sunburn — especially at a young age — to more than double a person’s chance of developing melanoma later in life.

Dr. Agnieszka Niemeyer of Paragon Dermatology, 558 N. Fifth Ave., Sequim, makes it a personal goal to educate every person she meets about the risk, prevention and treatment of melanoma. The office celebrates May as Skin Cancer Awareness Month and offers free exams, but the doctor continues to share her knowledge and expertise all year long. She encourages everybody to take proper care of their skin and protect it from the sun’s deadly rays.

“Melanoma is such an awful killer,” Niemeyer said, shaking her head sadly, “and I have people here every day with deadly cases.”

Early detection, the doctor said, is key to survival.

“If it’s found early, melanoma has a 90percent chance of cure,” she said, “but if it gets to one millimeter of thickness, it drops to a 50-percent survival rate.”

So often, Niemeyer said, she hears the argument from friends and patients that they need the vitamin D the sun provides and that’s why they sunbathe or visit the tanning salon.

“Spend time in the sun but do it in a smart

way,” she pleaded.

“You can get vitamin D other ways; the sun is just one small source.”

Anybody who’s met Niemeyer knows she has a soft spot for children. She encourages local schools to arrange field trips to the office so students can learn about proper skin care while undergoing noninvasive skin checks.

Ultimately, Niemeyer hopes to offer a high school internship to a student interested in becoming a dermatologist.

“Teenagers know doctors from shows like ‘ER’ and ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ but that’s not

what it’s really like and they should have the chance to experience what being a doctor is really about,” she said.

Niemeyer, a native of Poland, came to the U.S. in 1992 with only a backpack full of clothes and $100 in her pocket. Though she only planned to complete an internship at a hydrotherapy unit and then return to Norway where she was living at the time, an opportunity presented itself she couldn’t turn down: college.

started reading it front to back and enrolled in classes.

Deciding to specialize in dermatology wasn’t a decision Niemeyer took lightly. It’s a very competitive field, she said, but a profession she could visualize herself enjoying for years to come.

“I see little tiny babies, teenagers, young adults and senior citizens,” she said.

“I can help literally everybody from the whole family; how cool is that?”

2010 - 2011 Who’s Who

This area has proved to have an amazing supply of high-quality home furnishings and Sequim Consignment constantly is changing its inventory. There is a great variety of furniture and decoration on display in the store.

Just the thing ...

Sequim Consignment BY B Y JER JERRY ERRY ER RY KRAFT KR KRA RA AFTT

Maybe M Ma ayb ybbe you y u have yo haavee a bbeautiful h eaut ea utif ifu ull lliving ivin iv ng rro room ooom m sset et aand et ndd yyou ou just ou just usst don’ u ddoon’ on’ ntt w wa want antt to to go go through thr hroou hrou ugh gh the thee hassle haasssl sle off a classifi cllaassifi ssifie ss ifi fieed d ad ad. d It It’t’s m much ucch tto u too oo ni niccee aand nice ndd too valuable to give away to a charity. What about that gorgeous oil painting you inherited from your grandmother and that you really don’t have a place for in your new apartment? What to do with the china set or that elegant lamp or the inlaid hardwood liquor cabinet that just doesn’t fit in your new house? For all those kinds of furniture or home furnishing items, the answer may be Sequim Consignment.

Proprietor Brian Barrick realized there was a need in the area for a consignment business and opened Sequim Consignment in October 2009.

“My partner owned the building and it had been vacant for a couple of years and we investigated how best to use the place,” Barrick said. “This is my first consignment business and what appealed to me was that there was a really positive feel to consignment. People come in here with some item they’re not really crazy about anymore

➤

People often have possessions they no longer want, but that they don’t want to just give away. Consignment allows the seller to use the retail outlet to find a buyer and then share the profit from the sale.

2010 - 2011 Who’s Who The appeal of consignment is the direct transfer of quality merchandise from one’s own home to another’s. It feels much more personal than ordinary retail. Photos by Jerry Kraft

Sequim Consignment 820 W. Washington St. Sequim, WA 98382 Phone: 360-683-5333 E-mail: sequimconsignment@olypen.com Mon-Sat 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m.

Sunday Noon-3:30 p.m. and the next person comes in and falls in love with it. There is such an abundance of nice, high-quality stuff in this area and we really enjoy it. We have a very rapid turnover and so we’re constantly restaging the furniture and displaying all the decorative items. Everything in the store we’d be perfectly happy to have in our own home. That’s the deal.”

Sequim Consignment also is very selective about what they handle, Barrick indicated.

“We only deal in furniture and home furnishings, and we have more contemporary pieces than antiques, mostly because the antique market has been a bit soft and there’s quite a demand for good, almost new furniture at a very good price.”

Unlike thrift stores and secondhand stores, the store does not sell tools, electronics or clothing.

“I have nothing but admiration for what the thrift stores and secondhand stores do,” Barrick said. “I think there’s a niche for every-

one and ours is helping people realize a fair price for selling valuable home furnishings and providing that furniture to customers at a fair price.”

He explained that items taken on consignment are sold on a 60/40 basis, with 60 percent of the sale price going to the seller and 40 percent to Sequim Consignment. In return for its percentage, Sequim Consignment presents the merchandise in its very attrac-

tive store to a selective clientele, handles all the bookkeeping and helps load the furniture into the purchaser’s vehicle or even delivers it to their home (for an additional fee).

The first impression upon entering Sequim Consignment is how elegant and comfortable it all appears. The couches are arranged around coffee tables decorated with art pieces, vases or books. The bedroom sets are displayed to suggest the way they would

2010 - 2011 Who’s Who look in your bedroom. Walls are covered with paintings, prints and hangings and while there are many, many miscellaneous items around the store, there is no sense of clutter or random assembly. The store display is as tasteful and livable as the furnishings of someone’s home and that very subtly suggests the real premise of consignment.

“We want people to realize that these things have come directly from someone’s home, from someone’s life and they are meant to go on to someone else’s home, someone else’s life,” Barrick said.

The exchange of a consignment business may be the perfect format for that transfer.

“The consigners feel good because they don’t have to give away things that they know have real value and the customers know they’re getting really good stuff at really good prices.”

If you look around your house, there’s is probably furniture that you really don’t want any more and that you’re not willing to just give away. Or maybe there’s an empty space in your living room where exactly the right chair should go. In either event, Sequim Consignment may be just the right thing for getting your belongings into someone else’s home, or someone else’s possessions into yours. And at a good bargain for both of you.

A Perfect Perch Juan de Fuca Cottages provide a perfect combination of comfort an and scenic beauty, perched above the Dungeness Spit.

BY JERRY KRAFT

Juan de Fuca Cottages offer comfort and natural beauty

Perched on a 50-foot bluff overlooking the Dungeness Spit and sharing a private beach with the National Wildlife Refuge, the Juan de Fuca Cottages have been a scenic getaway since 1916. Owned and managed for the past six years by Tom and Missy Reif, these charming and comfortable accommodations attract people from throughout the region and around the world.

“People are attracted here because of the view and because of how relaxing it is,” said Missy Reif. “They love the quiet and when there’s a sunset over the water it’s truly breathtaking. It’s so easy to go from here up to Hurricane Ridge or walking out on the spit, and then come back here in the evening and just relax in the calm and quiet, maybe watching eagles from off the bluff.”

There are fi ve cottages on the main property, as well as the newly acquired Quail Lodge with an 800-square-foot conference room. Along with other suites and rooms in the area, the Reifs have 15 properties that they manage. All of them are available yearround, but summer is, of course, the most popular time. The combination of outdoor activity and indoor relaxation in an incredibly beautiful natural environment is irresistible, especially when added to the other attractions of Sequim.

“People like to come here for the good food

The Juan de Fuca Cottages have been here since 1916, in a prime location for vacationers or people who just want to get away from it all and enjoy the sun and saltwater of the Olympic Peninsula.

year for the Lavender Festival and they didn’t realize our place was some distance from the lavender farms, and that the bus was not really convenient. They were stuck at one of the farms without a car, just sitting there with their suitcases. Some local people saw them and thought that just wasn’t right, and after some conversation they actually loaned them a car for the week.

That may not be typical, but I think it says something about the character of Sequim people.”

The cottages are clean and spacious and most contain full kitchen facilities, so people are very self-sufficient while they are staying here. That allows them to maintain a very comfortable connection with the natural beauties outdoors while having a comfortable and warm place to stay. There are kayaks available for rent so visitors can go out on the bay and explore the waterfront and wildlife even more closely.

“Often, these are people who haven’t really kayaked before and I’ll sometimes go out with them to help and just explore for myself,” Reif said. “I love this area.

I love watching the eagles nesting. I’ve learned that when the seagulls start squawking there will be an eagle around any minute. And I love just being outside

A variety of accommodations, both on and off the site, provide a perfect place for families, couples or groups wanting to meet in the middle of lavender country, on the edge of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. in the sunshine and fresh air.”

Although the natural world is the most obvious attraction to the North Olympic Peninsula, the more intimate appeal of having a restful and restorative place to stay is equally satisfying.

“I think one of the things I enjoy most about our place is seeing the change in people’s faces, from arriving full of stress and tension and very rapidly relaxing. You can see it on their faces

sometimes within hours of getting here,” Reif said.

Some have left comments about the unexpected pleasure of taking their breakfast down to the beach and eating as they sat on the sand and watched the sunrise, she noted. Others respond to the quality and comfort of the rooms, the convenience to local attractions or the enjoyment of watching kite boarders, kayakers or beachcombers en-

joying Dungeness Bay. Some treasure the serene view of the New Dungeness Lighthouse or any of the many other local sights and destinations.

The Juan de Fuca Cottages and their affi liated accommodations may be the perfect place for a family vacation, a quiet couple’s getaway or a group meeting where the beauty outside can illuminate the comfort and calm of your room.

Children make the world go ’round Performer moves to Sequim, opens fairy-tale land

BY ASHLEY MILLER

Children are known for having vivid imaginations and being full of innocent wonder.

They leave teeth under the pillow for the tooth fairy, are scared of monsters hiding in the closet and believe in happily ever after.

It’s when children stop believing in magic, according to Kelbi Folkerson, that they start to grow old.

“Let children keep the Guests can build their own 8-inch or 16-inch stuffed animals at Kelbi’s World, complete with a heart, outfit, shoes and magic as long as they can,” she birth certificate.

“When a child is around, my heart explodes with happiness.”

Children, she said, are the “true beings that we should all strive to be like.”

Kelbi’s World is available for reservations for all types of parties and for all ages. Children and adults can build their own “American citizen” stuffed animals, become certified fairy princesses and play with the puppets — including the fan favorite mouse “Squeak,” who’s very shy but loves to kiss and sing.

“This is a place that when you come in it’s all about having fun and being happy,” Folkerson said.

“There’s nothing like this in Sequim and I feel it’s really needed.

It’s not just for the children; it’s for anyone at any age.”

A standard children’s party costs $10 per person for a minimum group of six children, or party planners can build a package to fit their budget. Custom options include balloons, ice cream cups, cupcakes, juice boxes, pizza, makeovers and manicures.

2010 - 2011 Who’s Who

Kelbi Folkerson, right, and fairy princess Rainflower, left, greet guests at Kelbi’s World.

Folkerson’s passion for youths runs deeper than just fun and fairy tales. She was a Court Appointed Special Advocate for years and encourages others to get involved with the national organization.

“I feel like God put me on this earth to be an ambassador for children,” she said. “To watch over them and make sure they’re safe.”

Though she’s no longer a CASA volunteer, Folkerson still seeks out children in need.

“I try to bring a little magic into a world that can sometimes be a very bleak place,” she said.

“Sometimes you just need to take a few minutes to play in the forest with fairies.”

Because adults are “children in very big bodies,” according to Folkerson, Kelbi’s World soon will offer a Friday and Saturday night comedy stop for adults only.

“Parents can make reservations, enjoy two glasses of wine, watch the show and eat pizza while the kids sleep,” she encouraged.

Folkerson comes from a cinematic family. Her father, Bob Folkerson, is a retired stuntman and her sister Cindy Folkerson performs stunts professionally, too. Her son is an actor in Los Angeles, Calif.

Folkerson was a performer at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, Calif., for 16 years and a “living statue” at The Venetian resort and casino in Las Vegas for seven years.

Folkerson and her husband, Ernie Tite, were drawn to Sequim after friends told them how beautiful the town was.

With three horses, four dogs and three cats, Sequim seemed like the perfect place to call home, Folkerson said.

For more information, call 681-7625 or stop by Kelbi’s World, 10115 Old Olympic Highway.

2010 - 2011 Who’s Who

JAMESTOWN S’KLALLAM TRIBE The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe has evolved directly from several constituent communities of the S’Klallam Tribe, meaning “strong people, “ a Salish cultural and linguistic group. It is closely related to the Sooke, other tribes of British Columbia and to most tribes of the Puget Sound area. The S’Klallam Tribe’s component villages were closely linked by intermarriage and other cooperative social ties. This tribe, first contacted in the late 1700s, was signatory to the Point No Point Treaty with the United States in 1855.

Characterized as a “progressive” Indian community, tribal citizens have sought new educational opportunities and aggressively integrated into the non-Indian community and its economy. The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe has about 590 enrolled tribal citizens.

The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe is governed by a fi ve-member Tribal Council elected to two-year terms. The tribal constitution was adopted in 1975 and tribal governmental programs receive overall direction from the Tribal Council through the chief executive officer.

Tribal Council members are Ron Allen, chairman and CEO; Liz Mueller, vice chairman; Heather Johnson-Jock, secretary; Theresa R. Lehman, treasurer; and Kurt Grinnell.

The tribe has set up stable, professional operational structures for the council and staff, which have created many programs, services and activities to assist tribal citizens, and continues to build an economic base for the future. The tribe’s business arm is the Jamestown S’Klallam Economic Development Authority. Tribal-operated business-

es under its auspices are Jamestown Excavating, Jamestown HomeBuilding, Jamestown Information Technology, Jamestown Technologies, Communications & Services and JKT Construction. Other tribal enterprises are 7 Cedars Casino, Jamestown Family Health Clinic, Jamestown Family Dental Clinic, Jamestown Fireworks, Northwest Native Expressions Art Gallery, the Cedars at Dungeness golf course and the Longhouse Market and Deli.

The tribe is a partner in the Dungeness River Audubon Center at Railroad Bridge Park and partners with dozens of local, state, regional and federal agencies to improve the community’s natural resources and civic services. Recent examples include restoration of an estuarine channel in the lower Dungeness River and building the Blyn Fire Station.

In 1981, the tribe had a full-time staff of two and only two grantfunded programs. The tribal staff is now 160 individuals, with more than 300 employed in other tribal businesses — making the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe the second largest employer in Clallam County.

Since 1988, the tribe has been involved in the national Self-Governance Demonstration Project that allows the tribe more autonomy and control over Bureau of Indian Affairs funding. The project has resulted in the tribe being able to provide more programs, services and activities to better meet the needs of the citizens and helps to maintain the government-to-government relation between the tribe and the U.S. government.

Curry Assistant Administrator, Strategic Marketing & Communications Lorraine Wall, RN Chief Nursing Officer Donna Davison Administrative Director, Risk Management Sheri Greene Administrative Director, Olympic Medical Physicians

Olympic Medical Cancer Center is proud to have five compassionate and experienced physicians treating cancer at the facility in Sequim. These physicians are oncologists and Olympic Medical Cancer Center now has two radiation oncologists, Dr. Rena Zimmerman and Dr. Mike Shevach, and three medical oncologists, Dr. Thomas Kummet, Dr. Erin Nelli and Dr. Christopher Williams, on staff.

TREATING THE WHOLE PERSON Treating cancer should be more than just delivering doses of radiation therapy. At least that is how Zimmerman, radiation oncologist and medical director of radiation oncology, approaches the treatment of cancer.

“My belief is that treatment should focus on the whole patient,” said Zimmerman. “I look at each person individually and take the approach of trying to find the best combination of traditional and integrative therapies to most effectively treat the patient.”

Zimmerman recently completed the Fellowship for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona–Tucson. Integrative medicine is healing-oriented medicine that makes use of all appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative.

“I believe patients are best treated by offering state-of-theart radiation therapy combined

with support of the mind, body and spirit,” she said. “I want to help patients explore all avenues available to them to help them fight their cancer, while maintaining their comfort and quality of life.”

Zimmerman has practiced radiation oncology for more than 20 years. She is board certified in radiation oncology and also is a member of the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology.

ALL ABOUT THE PATIENT Kummet, medical oncologist and medical director of medical oncology, treats every patient as if they were a member of his immediate family.

“He very much cares for the people who are his patients and he is intimately involved with every patient when they are here at the cancer center,” said Tara Lock, director of Olympic Medical Cancer Center.

Kummet offers expert medical oncology care and works hard to develop the most effective treatment plan for the patient with the highest quality of life.

He strives to give each patient the care he or she needs and takes whatever time is necessary to achieve that goal.

“Cancer patients display a particular courage and demonstrate an understanding of what is truly important in life,” said Kummet.

“It is a privilege to be involved in

their care.”

Kummet is board certified in internal medicine and medical oncology and his entry into the world of cancer treatment evolved out of an earlier career in cancer prevention research.

OLYMPIC MEDICAL CANCER CENTER Olympic Medical Cancer Center offers radiation and medical oncology (chemotherapy) under one roof, making treatment more convenient. The cancer center uses the latest technologies to ensure patients receive the best possible cancer treatment. Patients receive treatment by specially trained radiation and medical oncology staff in a comforting environment, the Thomas Family Cancer Center in Sequim. For more information on Olympic Medical Cancer Center, log on to www.olympicmedical. org and click on “Services” then “Cancer Care.”

Olympic Medical Center also is an affi liate of the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. This affi liation brings the resources of three internationally renowned institutions to the community: Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, University of Washington Medicine and Seattle Children’s Hospital. It also allows patients access to clinical trials, offering access to the latest drug, immunologic and molecularly targeted cancer therapies before they are widely available.

CLALLAM TRANSIT In the first complete year of operation (1981), Clallam Transit System ridership averaged 24,810 riders per month. In 2008, the monthly ridership average was 83,651.

Monthly ridership decreased slightly in 2009 to 79,705 passenger boardings.

According to the American Public Transportation Association, a person can save an average of $782 per month based on the gas price of $2.78 as reported by AAA. That’s more than $9,000 annually. The savings are more than the average household pays for food in a year.

“Using public transit is the quickest way to save money and beat the high price of gasoline,” said Clallam Transit System General Manager Terry Weed. “In these tough economic times, a record number of people are saying ‘My other car is the bus and it helps me balance my budget.’”

The personal benefits of using public transportation are opportunity, choice, access and freedom. These elements enable people

to accomplish what is important to them, making communities stronger and more vibrant for riders and non-riders alike.

• Opportunity. Public transportation creates a wealth of new opportunities for individuals and communities.

• Choice. Every day transit allows people from every walk of life to make decisions that improve the quality of their lives, such as shortening commute times to spend more time with families, doing their part to improve air quality and avoiding dangerous driving situations.

• Access. Public transportation makes it possible for people to access work, school, medical appointments and other everyday activities. It fosters communities where people can drive less and walk more, provides greater access to events and meets the needs of citizens, particularly those who do not drive.

• Freedom. Public transportation provides people with freedom to live their lives, pursue opportunities, make choices and enjoy greater access and mobility. It helps create strong neighborhoods, an environment that is clean and a prosperous economy.

PORT OF PORT ANGELES PORT OF PORT ANGELES COMMISSIONERS

JJim McEntire District 1

George Schoenfeldt District 2

JJohn Calhoun District 3

The Port of Port Angeles sees itself as both a public steward and a profitable self-sustaining enterprise providing services to the citizens of Clallam County. The Port of Port Angeles is a municipal corporation created in 1922 by the voters of Clallam County. As a public enterprise with distinctive authority operating in a global, market-driven environment, the port gives careful deliberation to the economic, societal and environmental repercussions of its business decisions.

The Port of Port Angeles’ longrange vision is to be “a leader in economic development and industrial growth in Clallam County.” As developed in a strategic planning retreat in 2004, the port’s vision is for planned growth, which will result from “the highly successful partnerships formed with agencies and both public and private entities in the community.”

The port owns and operates two deep-water terminals with

the ability to accommodate a wide variety of vessels from barges to supertankers.

The port also owns the Port Angeles Boat Haven, the Port Angeles Boat Yard and John Wayne Marina.

The Boat Haven has moorage for more than 520 pleasure and commercial boats. Adjacent to the Boat Haven, the port operates a public boat yard for maintenance and repair of small vessels. Call 452-4444.

John Wayne Marina provides 280 permanent moorage slips and 22 transient slips. Call 417-3440.

Along the Strait of Juan de Fuca there are 10 boat launch ramps with 16 lanes available to the public in Clallam County. Parking is provided for 670 vehicles and boat trailers, although at the Port Angeles Boat Haven and at the John Wayne Marina, spaces are shared by wet moorage holders.

The Port of Port Angeles also owns and operates William R. Fairchild International Airport, 1402 Airport Road, Port Angeles, WA 98363. Jeff Robb is the airport

manager. Contact him at 457-1138 or e-mail jeffr@portofpa.com.

William R. Fairchild International Airport is a full-service commercial airport located on the southwest side of the city of Port Angeles.

2010 - 2011 Who’s Who

PA children’s store settles into new location Stay-at-home mother m transitions to full-time fu business owner

BY ASHLEY MILLER

Angie Beebe, owner of Twice upon a Child, and 10-year-old daughter Taylor Beebe spend quality time together while working.

If somebody asked Angie Beebe fi five ve years ago what she’d be doing with her life, she never would have guessed owning wning and operating a children’s store.

Yet that’s exactly what she’s doing — and loving every momentt oof it.

Beebe treats each child who enters the store as one of her own — with kindness and patience — and every parent as a friend and fellow soldier in the battle of parenthood. She purchased Twice upon a Child, 313 W. First St. in Port Angeles, two years ago as an already successful business and takes great pleasure in watching the client base continue to grow.

“It was a big transition to go from being a stay-at-home mother to working full time,” Beebe said.

“But I knew what we were getting into when we bought it and the kids and family have adjusted well.”

2010 - 2011 Who’s Who

Twice upon a Child offers a variety of new and gently used infant and children’s clothes, accessories and equipment, as well at maternity wear.

Photos by Ashley Miller

Twice upon a Child offers new and gently-used clothing and equipment for infants through juniors as well as toys and maternity wear.

Secondhand items are sold on consignment. The seller receives 40 percent of the earnings for clothes and 50 percent for equipment. If something doesn’t sell after 90 days, the original owners can take the item back or donate it to a local nonprofit.

Beebe encourages families to explore the store and assures skeptics that the clothing and items all are in great condition and less expensive than buying new.

“All families can find something here,” she said. “We’re good for the tough times and the everyday purchases.”

Not to mention, she added, the fact that there are not a lot of other stores selling children’s clothes, accessories and equipment in the area.

After much consideration, Beebe relocated the business from its original C Street location to First Street downtown on June 28. The building — which used to house KONP Radio — is larger, newer and all

around better, she said, with room for expansion.

The new store features a playroom for children while parents, grandparents and caregivers shop. Large windows make it possible for children at play to be seen from multiple areas of the store.

Parking isn’t an issue, as the store is surrounded by three large lots.

Mothers with strollers and children in tow needn’t worry about safely entering the store, Beebe assured.

In addition to shopping, Beebe encourages parents and caregivers to visit the store and hang out just for fun.

“Indulge in some ‘adult’ time while the kids play,” she said.

“We’re always getting ideas from customers for new products and we like hearing what you’re looking for and what you want.”

Beebe runs the store with the help of her husband, Travis, 10-year-old daughter Taylor and 7-year-old son Logan. Friends and family help out when needed, too. But, it’s the customers, she credited, that keep her in business and make the job so worthwhile.

“The thing I enjoy the most is the people I get to meet; I’ve made so many new friends,” Beebe said.

“I can’t think of a better way to spend my days.”

Twice upon a Child is open 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m.

Monday-Saturday.

2010 - 2011 Who’s Who with the downturn of the real estate and construction industries.

Faced with the decision of what to do next, the California-transplant decided life was too short to spend another day doing something he wasn’t passionate about. Trying to think of a time when he was truly happy, Ioffrida recalled making and selling T-shirts as a church fundraiser and decided to take the leap.

Unlike other similar businesses, Sickk Tees requires no minimum order; charges no screen, set up or art fees; and has no color restrictions.

Ioffrida will print shirts with as few as one color or as many as 100; a single T-shirt or hundreds with no extra charges. He uses primarily 6.1-ounce tagless Hanes brand shirts but offers other brands by request.

“I’m definitely committed to excellence,” Ioffrida said.

“We treat everybody the same and whether they want one T-shirt or 100, they will get the same service.”

All printing is done on site. Some pre-printed shirts are available, including designs by the national brand South Pole.

In the upcoming months, Ioffrida plans to install a computerized design center where customers can create and print shirts all on their own.

tourist-friendly items, including sunglasses, belts and hats.

Though the store doesn’t carry “Twilight” products, per se, Ioffrida frequently prints custom shirts with sayings like “Edward loves me.”

Binders full of custom and public domain designs are on the counter for customers to browse through.

Day to day, Ioffrida strives to make the store successful enough to support his family. Long-term, his goals are much heftier.

“One day I’d love for Sickk Tees to be as big as Tap Out or Billabong, to have a national tie,” he said.

Sickk Tees works with fellow businesses to provide shirts on a small basis, just one or two at a time until they sell instead of printing hundreds of shirts that may or may not be purchased.

Most shirts print in about 30 minutes and Ioffrida said he doesn’t mind working with customers’ individual schedules for pick-up times.

“I figure the better customer service, the more likely they will come back,” Ioffrida said.

Business hours are 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday officially but the store actually is open more often than that.

“As soon as I open the door I turn the sign around no matter what time it is,” Ioffrida said.

“And if the sign says, ‘Open,’ then come on in.”

Making the Next Move:

Pacific Northwest Games

“When people walk by Pacific Northwest Games they sometimes think, ‘Oh they must play video games in there,’ and that’s the complete opposite of what we do,” said owner Matt Wolff. This remarkable little shop on Lincoln Street in Port Angeles is devoted to board games, role-playing games, strategy and family games. Half of the business is retail sales of a wide variety of games old and new, and the other half is a playing space for participants who want to get together with other gamers or for families that want to have a family activity together.

The newer generations of board games have become very popular, and Wolff believes that video game interest may be declining.

“So many of the video games are based on violence — shooter games or games that involve a lot of sex and antisocial activity. The games we have here are much more positive and, I think, a lot more fun.”

Wolff feels that many youths who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s spent much of their childhood in front of the TV with “Dad in front of the computer somewhere else in the room, Mom reading a book, and the kids with TV as the babysitter.” Now that that generation is of parenting age, they want something better than TV for their children’s experience of family activities.

“Video games are all about individuals sitting in front of a computer screen. Our games are about bringing people together, bringing families together to enjoy each other’s company,” Wolff said.

At tables spread around the shop, small groups assemble around a board game played with dice or a battlefield terrain on which strategies for miniature armies can be enacted.

Clearly many of these people know each other and come to PNW Games on a regular basis, but there also are families trying out this experience for the first time.

“We have about a third of our games available on a demo basis so people can come in and play the game a few times to see if they want to buy it or not,” Wolff said. “Some of these games take a fairly long time to really understand, but others are very simple and accessible.”

He said the most popular game right now is “Magic – The Gathering,” which is a collectible card game. Many people also are attracted to the tabletop games, in which the players build and paint miniature figures and weapons, then assemble armies to play strategic combat simulations using dice rolls to battle.

“We also have a lot of fam-

ily games, like ‘Apples to Apples’ which is a word game where you have cards that contain adjectives and when someone fl ips over a noun card then players, usually three to fi ve, have to decide which is the best adjective for that noun. It’s one of our most popular party games. There are many other games with real educational objectives, but they’re designed so that they will be fun for adults, as well as for the kids who are learning.”

As much as for the games, PNW Games wants to attract people as a social center for the young and for young families in Port Angeles. Wolff finds that many young families in Port Angeles want to have a family night and that this lets them get out of the house and do something together where they are really interacting, not just sitting shoulder to shoulder in front of a screen.

“I grew up in this town,” said Wolff, “and after 10 years in the military I wanted to come back here and start a business that really offered something to the

community. I think we do just that. Most of our business comes from word of mouth, people who come in to play a game with friends or with their kids and tell others about it. People want to play games.”

It may be appealing to lose yourself in the fantasy of “Dungeons and Dragons,” one of the first role-playing games and still very popular after 35 years, or to command an army of Avatars doing battle against Zombies, but with one step back from the imaginary worlds laid out on the tables it’s obvious that an

Matt Wolff wanted a business that could provide retail games and also be a community center for individuals and families. even bigger attraction is playing a game in a real place, with real people.

Here, you can meet someone new, rejoin frequent friends playing a game you all like or get the whole family sitting across from each other and playing together.

The game can go home with you, or you can bring your home to the game. Either way, Pacific Northwest Games provides a unique and valuable entertainment resource to the community.

Cock-a-doodle Doughnuts: Yummy in Your Tummy

BY REBECCA REDSHAW

Dayna Page’s business may be called Cocka-doodle Doughnuts, but she functions like the Energizer Bunny, fully charged. As proprietor, baker and sales clerk (along with a part-time employee), Page has made a success out of necessity.

“I taught myself how to bake because I needed a doughnut. In Santa Cruz, Calif., you can go to any corner and buy a doughnut at any time.

The first two years I lived on the Olympic Peninsula, I had to go over to Seattle and get doughnuts. I couldn’t believe there wasn’t a doughnut shop in Port Angeles, or in Sequim for that matter. I remember the disappointment of a town without doughnuts. I like my doughnuts.”

It was a giant leap for Page, who never had owned and/or operated her own business before to establish the Cock-a-doodle Doughnuts store in Port Angeles. Her philosophy, aided by a solid work ethic, is like the movie tagline of “Field of Dreams:” If you build it, they will come.

Cock-a-doodle Doughnuts Dayna Page, owner 105 E. Front St., Port Angeles • 477-9698 www.cockadoodledoughnuts.com Tuesday-Friday open 6 a.m.-3 p.m.

Saturday and Sunday 7 a.m.-3 p.m.

Closed Monday Five years ago, Page moved to the peninsula with her husband and two years ago she opened the door to Cock-a-doodle Doughnuts.

She has been working long hours ever since.

“The first winter was a little brutal. I didn’t realize how much tourism gets businesses through. But I had a feeling it would work.

Summertime I open earlier. I start at 11 p.m. and bake all night. Sunday night is the only night I don’t bake. Monday is my day to catch up on my sleep and everything else.”

Page concentrates on doughnuts and fritters although she may add muffins and scones to her repertoire in the future. Recently, cinnamon rolls were added to her bill of fare. Everything is baked fresh daily.

Deciding what kind and how many to make each day is always a challenge.

“Right now my most popular doughnuts are maple bars and apple fritters. I have a bacon/maple that’s extremely popular, too.

People get angry when we run out, but I try

to tailor what variety of doughnuts I make every night. It’s been an extreme learning process figuring out which days are busier. Depending on the day, I’ll make a larger or smaller batch. There are days we sell out early or have a lot left over. We’ve just started selling some ‘day-olds’ and we donate our excess to the food bank at the end of the day.”

Some bakeries and doughnut shops are going “designer/gourmet” and charging high prices, but Page wants to focus on quality ingredients (she orders her supplies from Bakemark out of Seattle) and reasonable prices (ranging from 79 cents to $1.25 each with a dozen averaging $8.99).

The original plan was to open a shop in Sequim, an idea that still sounds good to Page in the future. Within a year or two she plans to hire another baker, but until then, she’s a “one-woman band.” Even

though her focus is on doughnuts, Cock-a-doodle T-shirts with the logo on the front and “Dunk ’em if you got ’em” on the back are selling well and available online. Custom coffee mugs with the shop’s logo may be available soon.

In the meantime, she’ll continue getting up at 9 p.m. and bake until 9 a.m. the next morning. The work is a lot more labor intensive than she imagined. Within a year or two, she’ll consider hiring someone else to help with the baking. Until that time, like the Energizer Bunny, Page will keep on running.

“I eat doughnuts every day and I work out since I eat doughnuts every day. I go hiking or I go to Seattle and go shopping,” Page said.

But she doesn’t have to shop for doughnuts in the big city anymore.

She can get her morning treat right here at home at Cock-a-doodle Doughnuts.

The Kokopelli Grill is conveniently located on the corner of Front and Lincoln streets, just above the Waterfront Park in Port Angeles.

The Best of Southwest Cuisine

BY JERRY KRAFT

There are few restaurants in Port Angeles with the high ambitions and commitment to culinary excellence of the Kokopelli Grill.

Michael McQuay has been passionate about fine food for most of his life and when he and his wife, Candy, were looking for a Pacific Northwest location to open a restaurant, the Kokopelli Grill seemed like just the right fit. Even the name, from previous ownership, was perfectly suited to the Southwest cuisine they wanted to feature. After a beautiful remodeling of the interior, they opened in November 2009 and have seen rapid success for their intimate, family friendly environment, broad selection of fine wines and superb food at very reasonable prices.

“I was actually trained in classical French cuisine but I love the bold flavors of Southwest food,” McQuay said, “It really inspires me and gets my creative juices flowing.” An example of bringing that regional style to the Northwest is a creation of Dungeness halibut

with crab stuffing, served with a habañeropoblamo cream sauce. “I offered that as a special,” McQuay said, “and it’s been so popular that it’s been on the menu for three months now.”

That menu includes a dinner that may begin with a variety of selections from appetizers such as coconut shrimp with a Grand Marnier and mango chutney or crispy blue corn calamari with a chipotle aioli to a smoked salmon chowder and a blackened chicken spinach salad topped with bacon,

lemon pepper, cotija cheese and drizzled with prickly pear dressing.

For the main course, even a “simple” steak selection could be the Desert Sky Rib Eye, adobo-marinated and seared over an open flame in chimichuri sauce with sweet plantains and roasted corn salsa. Or for a different meat, you could try the Double Barrel Whisky Ribs or the Roasted Blackberry-fired Chicken.

Any fine restaurant in this area has to acknowledge seafood and Kokopelli offers choices from halibut, shrimp and crab cakes to the Kokopelli Kombo, sauteed prawns and large scallops served over Southwest creamy Dijon sauce, then sided with a 4-ounce grilled salmon fi llet and a crab cake on roasted red tomatillo sauce, topped with cilantro oil, and garlic sour cream aioli.

For the vegetarian, there is a selection of pasta dishes such as the La Casa, a Southwestern cream sauce, served with sun-dried tomato, black beans, spinach, and green onion,

The Kokopelli Kombo is one of the most popular items on the menu, a savory combination of scallops, prawns, crab cakes and fresh salmon on red tomatillo sauce, topped with cilantro oil and garlic sour cream aioli.

tossed with fettuccini and sprinkled with cotija and parmesan cheese.

There are even hamburgers with soup, salad or fries for the less adventurous or younger diner. The Kokopelli is focused on the entire community and being family friendly.

“We’re not pretentious at all,” McQuay said. “On a weekend you can come in here and see a lot of families. We don’t care if people come in wearing shorts and baseball hats or dressed for an evening out. Either way, they’re going to get the best food we can put out.”

After training at South Seattle Community College, earning a degree in hotel and restaurant management from Western Washington University and a two-year apprenticeship with the Westin Hotel, Michael McQuay has been a chef and restaurant owner, in and out of the industry, for most of the past 30 years.

He was also the founder and CEO of a national commercial real estate business. It was following that when he decided to combine with his wife’s 20 years of restaurant experience and go back into this business. What he didn’t want to do was operate with the sort of pre-prepared, packaged and frozen foods that go from box to plate with a brief stop in the oven, frying pan, or most often, deep fryer.

“Our concept, and the only way that I would go back into the food business, was to focus on fresh, handcrafted, old-school style rustic food, but up-

Three years ago, when I was released from the hospital, I needed to move to an assisted-living community. I had no idea then what assisted living meant. During the last three years, I have learned that it means far more than just helping you to exist.

At Park View Villas it means assisting you to live your life to the fullest.

When I moved to Park View Villas, I was in bad shape physically, mentally and emotionally. Today, I am active in so many things that I don’t have time to feel down. Yes, I still have Parkinson’s disease, along with diabetes and heart problems, but the assistance that I require and receive, coupled with my participation in the lifestyle opportunities that are offered has really worked.

I believe that I am really living my life to the fullest.

At 82 years old, I exercise five times a week. I sing at some of the church services and at Catholic communion every week. I take long walks in the beautiful gardens every day. I play

Together, we enjoy frequent entertainment, eating out, and Mariner’s baseball games, scenic drives, shopping trips and every holiday is celebrated with our families.

Add in the wonderful staff, and these are all a part of my definition of assisted living at Park View. I’m glad that I can call Park View Villas “My Home.”

Owner Steve Hoyt poses in front of two customer favorites — chips and “Twilight” saga characters.

The Movie Man

BY REBECCA REDSHAW

Some shoppers bemoan the invasion of big name businesses muscling out the local “little” guys for valued clients, so it was a pleasant turn of events when a local business couple, Steve and Donna Hoyt, removed the Blockbuster sign from the façade of the video store in Port Angeles and renamed it The Movie House. As the sole proprietors, they can better serve the community, treating their customers like the neighbors they are.

No stranger to movies in general and rental movies and games in particular, Steve Hoyt is not only a businessman but a fan.

The Movie House “I’ve been a huge movie fan for years and Steve and Donna Hoyt, owners years.

It’s why I like this job so much. There are 612 S. Lincoln St., days I get to sit around talking with people Port Angeles about movies. My wife wasn’t as big a movie 417-0616 fan until she met me. When we lived in LouiHours: 10 a.m.-midnight daily siana, we lived across the street from a Blockbuster, then we moved to Texas a few years

later and she became a Blockbuster manager.”

The couple moved to the Olympic Peninsula in 2003, right before the Blockbuster opened here, and both were hired as assistant managers. A native of Louisiana, Hoyt has adapted to the area with ease.

“I love it here. I love the weather and have no regrets about the move. I do miss the food. I was from Iberia, a little town just west of New Orleans where they make Tabasco sauce. All the food is good down there. When I visit, I know where I’m going to eat every meal, dinner, lunch and breakfast, before I even get there.”

The changeover to being owners from managers has been a smooth one. Originally the Blockbuster in Port Angeles was a privately run franchise owned by a group of corporate lawyers in Seattle. They decided it was time for them to do other things. They offered to sell the business to Hoyt, which he had been running since 2004. They didn’t want to sell to

As owner of The Movie House, Hoyt feels he has a better feel for the community.

“All of our employees are from here. My wife has lived here her whole life. We had so many restrictions before; it’s so much better now. The staff is very happy with the change.

We transferred most of our clientele from Blockbuster to The Movie House. It’s important for people to know we’re locally owned, especially during these financial times it’s important to support local.”

Currently working on a website to keep people up to date on new releases and special deals, Hoyt plans on adding a “movie re-

port card” to the site to help customers select their choices. In the meantime, he works six days a week, 10 hours a day to stay competitive.

Not only is the video/DVD business changing rapidly, so is the way the public rents movies. The Movie House offers a very

desirable alternative to the mail-order phenomenon Netfl ix.

“The big difference between The Movie House and Netfl ix is the personal contact. We make recommendations. My staff will tell you how they truly feel about a movie if a customer asks. It’s a ‘trust thing.’

We have similar programs to Netfl ix. You can play a flat fee a month, the difference being you don’t have to wait for the mail. You can ex-

change a title as often as you like, several times a day if you want!

There are no due dates or two-day rentals. You can set it up as an autopay system or just try it for one month. There are no lengthy contracts and it’s very flexible. It’s the smart way to do it.”

In addition to current releases, TV series and a wide selection of older titles, The Movie House offers candy for sale and games for rent.

The store doesn’t sell games except for old rentals but offers a Gamer’s Pass, similar to the monthly movie rental.

Another advantage of being a customer of The Movie House? If they don’t have the movie you’re looking for, they may special order it or, if you’re part of the movie-going group that buys movies, The Movie House gets movies delivered every day.

Hoyt said, “I just got a shipment of 20 movies that were requests from customers. Generally, it’s cheaper to special order through me.

There are no shipping costs to the customer and with our new system we can get online and let the customer know what the price will be and when it will be delivered. We can order anytime and most of the movies are here in less than a week.”

The advantages of renting a movie over going to the theater are fairly obvious, even to a huge fan of fi lms like Hoyt.

“It’s so ridiculously expensive to go to the movies. Including me, my wife, and two kids, tickets come to around $60. Then add the cost of popcorn and drinks. What if we don’t like the movie? At The Movie House, a new DVD release is $4, so you take home two and if you don’t like one, you can pop in another. It’s not a big deal. I used to go to the movies two or three times a month. Now I go two or three times a year. Plus, when you have a Blu-ray DVD and a 50-inch TV in Hi Def with a stereo in the comfort of your living room, it’s hard to beat.”
