Relief is just a step away BY PATRICIA MORRISON COATE

If your feet are fine, consider yourself lucky. If they aren’t — causing you pain from head to toe — and you come across Harrison’s Comfort Footwear in Sequim, then Lady Luck has smiled upon you and relief is on the way. With decades in the business of providing accommodative and supportive footwear, store owner and pedorthist Jon Harrison has the passion, knowledge and commitment to remedy conditions of the feet and lower limbs. Nearly 30 years ago, after almost a decade of shoe-fitting experience at Nordstrom’s in Seattle and 15 years studying foot anatomy and orthotics as a volunteer at two foot and ankle clinics there, Harrison opened his first Harrison’s Comfort Footwear in Seattle. “At Nordstrom’s I had a vision it was time to sit down and connect with people and meet their needs for assorted foot maladies and to relieve their pain,” the 69-year-old Harrison said. His career in handmade custom orthotics arced

as high as a three-pointer after the Seattle SuperSonics sought him out and he designed shoes to relieve a player’s foot pain, allowing him to jump higher and run faster on the floor. “That altered my career as I began doing more work for (professional) athletes,” Harrison said. “I made 140 pair of shoes for athletes, including the Sonics, Boston Celtics and New Jersey Nets, with my own design of custom orthotics for players and I have applied the same techniques to everyday customers who desire to stay active, regardless of age. I estimate 70 percent to 80 percent of people are not wearing the proper footwear for their medical issues and I’m anti-surgery — often orthotics can prevent surgery. ” Weary of the noise, traffic and stress levels in Seattle, Harrison moved to the Olympic Peninsula and opened the Sequim store on March 16, 2001. A veteran of fi ve successful stores, Harrison has handcrafted 24,000 custom orthotics during his career — orthotics that “take no breaking in and are softer than the average orthotics made in
medical labs,” he said. The difference in the comfort quotient between lab orthotics and his are notable, Harrison said. “Mine are completely handmade in-house and the advantage is that I can pick up on any nuances (in fit) and can adjust the plane of the orthotic to accommodate any combination of gait and stride. It’s a total interconnection when I make an orthotic for you.” Whether it’s flat feet, weak ankles, legs unequal in length, foot lesions from diabetes or a host of other foot ailments, Harrison will assess every client’s problems thoroughly. For example, chronic one-sided back pain can be due to the opposite leg being just enough shorter than the other so that the body becomes misaligned, Harrison explained. The simple solution? A series of customized heel wedges that Harrison gradually increases in thickness until the client reaches optimum comfort. The result? The pure joy of pain relief. “Relief can be by the time you get to the

I assess feet by appointment at no charge and will recommend what a person needs regarding the biomechanics of accommodating or correcting their gait and stride,” Harrison said. “I get lots of phone calls with people describing their problems and we’ll set up appointments. This store is a destination for foot pain because not only can custom orthotics solve misalignment from ankle to neck, they can prevent misalignment issues with the body in the future. In my opinion every diabetic should be wearing orthotics
with accommodative and supportive shoes — and they’re not ugly anymore!” Harrison quipped. (As a part of their disease process, many diabetics lose sensations in their feet and may not realize they have shoes that rub and cause sores, which can be difficult to treat.) The store, tucked in next to Tarcisio’s Italian Place in the Sequim Village Center, stocks accommodative and supportive shoes, from casual to dressy, with European styling. A boon is it carries men’s shoes to size 15. Harrison said the fi ve top-selling shoe brands at the store are Brooks, Keen, Merrell, New Balance and Wolky. Store manager Randy Stone has some 37 years in the shoe-fitting business. One female client gushed in a 2009 Internet review, “The store has the usual brands of up-market walking shoes for women and men but the REAL difference is the customer service. (One
of the employees) watched me walk, asked me about my shoe habits and began educating me about my feet before I was even finished telling him my story.” “I love this community and the response we’ve had has been great and encouraging in meeting the needs of proper foot care and customized one-on-one service,” Harrison said. Although orthotics is a specialized service, Harrison said he made 45 pairs from late June through July and averages 20-30 orthotics a month. His reputation is such that he has clients from all over the country who count on his expertise and unabashed enthusiasm for his craft. He admits his custom orthotics initially are an investment, but one that will benefit clients for 5-7 years. After all, he asks, “How far will people go for comfort? Relief is just a step away!”

“I’ve always had things in antique malls in Southern California and I needed an outlet for things I’d brought from there, so I just decided to open a shop because there are few antique malls here,” LaPorte said. With some 20 years in the business, she has a keen eye for what will add a dash of whimsy or spark of elegance to a room. “The hunt is my favorite part — it’s treasure hunting and I try to go outside the area. It’s very contagious!” LaPorte said. “A lot of things in here are not old but just are interesting accent pieces.” Be prepared to spend a good bit of time browsing for your “gotta have it” piece — there is almost more than the eye can take in. The small yellow building just a few doors west of Sunny Farms Country Store is artfully decorated inside with niches organized by color. LaPorte said she enjoys putting her creativity into each room’s design and placement of objects. “Things always are displayed in a color scheme so customers can see how to put it together in their own homes,” she said.

LaPorte has taken several old home movie screens and turned them into Parisianflavored poster art. Nearby, lavender lovers can find prints, frames and even a clock in their favorite color.

The patio itself is decorated with outdoor table and chair sets that hark back to the 1950s with white and turquoise motifs, plus pottery and outdoor lights. Back inside, there are three other rooms brimming with all manner of home decor, including shabby chic furniture, framed prints, plain and ornate mirrors from handsized to hall-sized, classical statuary, pillows in assorted colors and finishes, a collection of clocks, draperies and bedding. “Probably my best-selling items are throw pillows, mirrors, picture frames and lamps,” LaPorte said. “I just try to keep an eye out for new things — the inventory is constantly changing and nothing is very ordinary.” Since opening her store in January, LaPorte said her goal has been to bring an eclectic mixture of home decor items to the area at reasonable prices.

Hearing aid advances are ‘amazing’ BY PATRICIA MORRISON COATE
Robert Keesee, owner of Mountain View Hearing Centers, Inc., is excited for his Olympic Peninsula customers on several levels. He’s sold his stores in the East Puget Sound area and is concentrating his hearing aid fitting and dispensing services on the peninsula with a new Port Angeles store that opened in August. Keesee also is enthusiastic and eager to share recent advances in hearing aid technology with his Sequim and Port Angeles customers. He established the Sequim store in 1998 and moved it to its current location, 625 N. Fifth Ave. Ste. 3, in 2000. Since then, Keesee said, “Our business has exploded with the growing population and I also noticed we were getting a lot more Port Angeles patients. For years I wanted a Port Angeles store but didn’t have the
bodies to fi ll it because I was so busy here. I finally decided to look for a spot, found one easily and got the employees in place.” The new store is at 508 N. Eighth St. Both locations are open 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Thursday. Gwen Samsing will fit and dispense hearing aids in the new store and Keesee will remain in Sequim. Hearing loss detection and repair services for all brands of hearing aids are available at each location. Keesee referred to current hearing aid technology as “amazing” compared to what it was even fi ve or six years ago. “The technology level has gone up so much that the hearing aids in even our most economical series today are better than our best two years ago.

2011 - 2012 Who’s Who Gwen Samsing demonstrates how she consults with a patient (Keesee) about hearing aid options. He is wearing an open fit, behind the ear model.
the technology has increased drastically, the cost of hearing aids has not really changed that much.” One of the store’s most revolutionary offerings are wireless hearing aids. “Patients can hook up a box to a media player — TV, DVD, computer — and the signal is sent from the box to the patient’s hearing aid,” Keesee said. “A person with hearing loss, even with hearing aids, will turn up the volume. With the wireless aids, the TV can be set at a normal level for others listening.” Keesee also pointed out that with the wireless aids, the microphone stays on so people can hear the TV and other ambient sounds, which is hard to do with amplifying headphones. The behind the ear hearing aids have gone from clunky to sleek. The new “open fit” technology allows both the tube and ear piece to be tiny, which reduces the “plugged up” sensation in the ear canal. “About 90 percent of the hearing aids we sell are behind the ear now (rather than in the ear
canal) because the tubes are so much smaller and much more comfortable,” Keesee said. “Open fit is popular because patients don’t have any occlusion and they don’t feel like they have a hearing aid in. Today most patients can be treated with open fit — years ago there was too much feedback (squealing) but today there is superior feedback cancellation so I am able to fit most losses.”
Another thing that amazes Keesee about today’s technology is that some new hearing aids have “Voice IQ,” which gives people much better speech discrimination in noisy environments. Keesee has seen hundreds, perhaps thousands of hearing evaluations and knows hearing loss affects the individual in every aspect of his or her communication, be it at work or with

family and friends. Untreated, hearing loss can be frustrating and isolating for all concerned. “With the increase in technology and the number of people running around with hearing loss, you would think they would get help, but that’s not the case. Most people with mild or moderate loss go without hearing aids — they think they’re too expensive or they’ve heard about

a friend’s experience years ago — but one person’s success has nothing to do with others’ results; every patient is different,” Keesee said. Today’s hearing aids are such a far cry from even a couple of years ago, that the difference is like night and day, he said. For people to understand what they are missing in their lives, they first must admit to having a hearing loss and seek help for it. After being fitted, they must have a positive attitude and realistic goals. “It’s so much easier with the new technology because a person goes through much less adjustment than three or four years ago,” Keesee said. “Comparing older versus new hearing aids, there are so many fewer barriers in the way for adjustment and comfort.” Call the Sequim store at 681-4481 and the Port Angeles store at 452-1188.

DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT COURT I District Court I is a state court of limited jurisdiction. Seven out of every eight cases fi led in all state courts are fi led at this level. This is due primarily to the broad jurisdiction these courts have over traffic violations and misdemeanors. Additionally, district courts hear small claims and civil suits.

In 2010, District Court I handled more than 10,000 cases. These cases include those from the municipalities of Port Angeles and Sequim, as well as Clallam County and the State of Washington. The cases processed include 6,789 traffic infractions, 242 DUIs, 581 criminal traffic misdemeanors, 1,194 criminal misdemeanors, 108 civil anti-harassments orders, 919 civil cases and 179 small claims cases. Gross receipts were more than $2,200,000. Those convicted of criminal cases may be subject to up to $5,000 in fines, a year in jail or both. Jurisdiction on civil cases is $75,000 and the small claims limit is $5,000. District Court I also has jurisdiction on civil anti-harassment petitions and orders. Rick Porter is the court’s judge, Keith Wills is the administrator and Chris Melly is the court commissioner. Probation counselors are Mark Schrader, James Hollatz and Marci Viada. Hours are 9 a.m.-noon and 12:30-4 p.m. Monday-Friday. District Court I is at 223 E. Fourth St., Suite 10, Port Angeles. Call the office at 360-417-2560.

2011 - 2012 Who’s Who
JAMESTOWN S’KLALLAM TRIBE The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe has evolved directly from several constituent communities of the S’Klallam Tribe. The S’Klallam Tribe (meaning “strong people”), a Salish cultural and linguistic group, is closely related to the Sooke, other tribes of British Columbia and to most of the tribes of the Puget Sound area. The S’Klallam Tribe was a clearly defined social and cultural unit, whose component villages along the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Hood Canal 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, Jamestown S’Klallam tribal citizens have sought new educational opportunities and aggressively integrated into the non-Indian community and its economy. The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe presently has about 602 enrolled tribal citizens. The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe is governed by a fi ve-member Tribal Council elected to four-year terms on a staggered basis. 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 W. Ron Allen, chairman; Liz Mueller, vice chairman; Heather Johnson-Jock, secretary; Theresa R. Lehman, treasurer; and Kurt Grinnell, member. The tribe, now the second largest employer in Clallam County, has worked hard to 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 businesses under its auspices are Jamestown Excavating, Jamestown Information Technology, Carlsborg Mini Storage 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 & Deli. The tribe is a partner in the Dungeness River Audubon Center at Railroad Bridge Park, Sequim, and partners with dozens of local, state,

Lehman, treasurer) 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 began operations with a full-time staff of two individuals and only two grant-funded programs. The tribal staff now consists of 176 individuals. In 1988, the tribe was one of the first in the country to test the national Self-Governance Demonstration Project.
That project now is the norm for more than 300 tribes. It allows tribes more autonomy and control over Bureau of Indian Affairs funding. The project has resulted in the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe being able to provide more tribal- and community-specific programs, services and activities that better meet the needs of the citizens and helps to maintain the government-to-government relationship between the sovereign tribe and the U.S. government.

New orthopedic clinic opens in Sequim The new Olympic Medical Physicians Orthopaedic Clinic is open for business. The clinic, which opened June 13, already is doing a gangbuster business. That’s the word from Dr. Keith Ure, a recent arrival in Sequim and one of two physicians now staffing the clinic. He’s joined by Dr. Loren Larson, who formerly spent most of his time in Port Angeles. In addition to the two physicians, the new clinic also has two orthopedic physician assistants on staff: Patricia Christiansen and Travis Babcock. The facility is located in the Sequim Medical Plaza on Fifth Avenue, in the offices that formerly served as the Jamestown Clinic before it moved across the street. The clinic has plenty of space with 13 examining rooms and two “casting” rooms — areas set aside for creating casts for
broken bones and other needs. The opening of the clinic marks the first time OMP has offered orthopedic services in Sequim. The clinic also provides a boost to the local economy by fi lling a piece of prime real estate with a full-time staff of 13 employees. At this point no surgical procedures, other than the most minor ones, take place at the Sequim facility. Those are performed in the surgical ward at Olympic Memorial Hospital in Port Angeles. The new clinic is open from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Thursday, and 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Fridays. Call 582-4120 for an appointment.

The clinic has an extensive support staff, including medical assistants Mike Crawford and Liz Daly. specializes in what ails them. Ure is an orthopedic surgeon specializing in total joint replacement. That means new knees and hips, he said. Ure said he was recruited to Sequim because of the need for his special expertise, which most often is required by older patients. He also said surgery usually is the last step, saying he prefers first to treat musculoskeletal disorders with therapy or medicine or a combination. But he agreed that when the time comes, replacement joints can be a blessing. Ure was recruited from Mount Shasta, Calif., his home for 15 years. About Sequim he said, “It’s a great place to live and people are warm and friendly. And the hospital is exceptional.”

An artistic rendition of what the new Country Aire Natural Foods market will look like after it moves into the former Gottschalks building on First Street. Submitted photo
3,200 square-foot space, Country Aire Natural Foods is jam-packed with quality fresh, natural, organic and whole foods, nutritional supplements, body care products and health information. Owners Robyn and John Miletich started the business in 1975 and celebrated the store’s 36th anniversary last July. “I’ve been the most inconvenient store downtown for decades,” Robyn Miletich joked, explaining that the store doesn’t have an official parking lot and it’s very difficult for customers to find parking sometimes. Not to mention the small walkways between aisles inside the store and overstocked shelves. This November, all that will change. The Miletichs purchased the former Gottschalks building, at 200 W. First St., and will relocate the market this winter, increasing the store’s space to 17,000 square feet and more than doubling the inventory. So far, the couple has hired workers to remove the false ceiling, raise the internal ceiling to 24 feet, incorporate 12 skylights and increase the number of windows at the front of the building. The original wood beams inside the store have been exposed and the inside stairwell now is enclosed to separate the top and bottom floors. Upon completion, the market will occupy the top floor and the

Miletichs plans to turn the lower floor, an additional 17,000 square feet, into a “holistic underground” fi lled with health care professionals, an acupuncturist, an optometrist and possibly a massage therapist. “We’ve got some really interesting ideas,” Robyn Miletich said excitedly. “The lower floor will be a combination of individuals with a holistic approach to the body, mind and soul.” For the first time ever, shoppers will be able to park in a designated lot without paying or having to worry about parallel parking and can choose from two public entrances. Miletich admits that taking such a huge leap is scary for her. Though she would have liked to relocate and expand earlier, the econ-

But when the former Gottschalks building came up for sale, and then dropped significantly in price, she decided it was time to act. “We’re definitely putting our heads back on the chopping block,” she said. “It’s like we’re at a poker table and I’m moving all my chips to the center of the table and saying ‘I’m all in!’ then hoping for the best.” Despite her nerves, Miletich said she’s very excited about the expansion.
The Coffee Bar
“Over the years, I’ve gathered a group of loyal customers and it’s about time I paid them back with a parking lot.” Prior to housing Gottschalks, the 1946 building started out as a car dealership, according to Miletich, but failed and turned into a Peoples grocery store and then a Lamonts department store. Hopefully, Miletich said with her fingers crossed, Country Aire Natural Foods will occupy the space for many years to come.

Treat your taste buds at Colonel Hudson’s Famous Kitchen BY ASHLEY MILLER
Malik Atwater and Vivian Wai are trying something new and exciting. It’s a little out of their comfort zones but so far they really like it. The couple opened Colonel Hudson’s Famous Kitchen in Port Angeles last October. The walk-up restaurant serves fish and chips, hamburgers, sandwiches, fries, salad, pizza, assorted drinks, ice cream and upside down banana splits. Prior to opening the “famous” kitchen, Atwater and Wai founded and operated a school in Taiwan teaching English to elementary school students for 18 years. The establishment was such a success that a second school soon followed. Working in Taiwan with no home base in the states, the Idaho and Illinois natives visited Port Angeles with friends on a vacation one year. They immediately fell in love with area — even the weather. Soon after, they bought a house on 11th Street with the intention of settling down in the area someday. When that didn’t happen immediately, they rented the house to Atwater’s mother and ended up moving to Seattle, starting a family and traveling back and forth to Taiwan a lot.

Before long, living in Seattle and working in Taiwan became too difficult for the family of four. They tried living in Taiwan and sending their son to school but it just didn’t work out. So they moved back to the States — Port Angeles to be exact — to start a new adventure. At first, Atwater and Wai thought they might try to start a language school in Clallam County but it became glaringly obvious early on the area might not support such an establishment. On a whim, they bought a building close to the waterfront and continued brainstorming ideas. Ultimately, the couple decided to turn the building into what it Colonel Hudson’s Famous Kitchen serves a variety of fish and chips, hamburgers, sandwiches, pizza, salads, fries, assorted was best suited for: a restaurant. drinks and desserts. No invitation necessary, just drop by! They’d heard about Fat Smitty’s in Discovery Bay and its reputation for good burgers and thought Port Angeles could use such a restaurant. “We just kind of fell into what the building was suited for,” Atwater said. “We’re brand new at this.” To their surprise and relief Colonel Hudson’s quickly is becoming a lunch and dinner hot spot. “We couldn’t ask for better,” Atwater said. “We haven’t done anything of what you ‘should’ do as a new business, like advertising, but we are still doing well.” In fact, on more than one occasion customers have told the owners they’re “the best burgers they’ve ever Colonel Hudson’s had.” Famous Kitchen Recently, Colonel Hudson’s Re 536 Marine Drive, received receiv a grant to re-do the Port Angeles outside of the building to outs 452-0999 include a small, covered in Website: outdoor seating area. ou www.colonelhudson.com Colonel Hudson’s burHours: 11 a.m.-6 p.m. ggers are all made to orMonday-Friday der using us fresh, never frozen or pre-made patties. pre“We want to do something we are proud of and can put our hearts into,” Wai said. “At fi rst, we tried using pre-made patties aand although they were first a lot easier, we found ourselves embarrassed to tell our friends.
