So thankful for you, Jeff, and your endless dedication to Clallam County and the people that call it home. May God bless you and yours...Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving. So glad the natives shared turkey with the pilgrims. Just think if the main course was Groundhogs or Cougars. So that’s my deep Thanksgiving thought! You’re welcome, Gobble, Gobble!
And the Pilgrims repaid with a healthy dose of self-righteousness and holier-than-thou-ness! Those White Folks, eh?🤣. Maybe it's time for more 'witch trials'?🤣
Bring back the pagan-porn gods...oh, wait...they already did!🤓
Happy Thanksgiving to all! Very generous of you to share Bonnie's Keebler Salad. It sounds perfect for a fun filled feast. Jeff and Doug and Red and all of Clallam County Community: May God bless us with strength, courage, love, and a strong spiritual guidance of wisdom. We are blessed to have family and friends who enrich our lives and share our journey. May our abundance of blessings grow spiritually and materially, and that we never forget to thank Him for everything we receive. God's grace upon us today and always.
@JeffTozzer, I am thankful for my @CCWatchDog workout time this morning, before indulging in my homemade cinnamon rolls, bacon, and coffee, just the start to a day of guilt-free gluttony! Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone. NO promises for Story Time Saturdays with Dr. Sarah. I am excited about the dialogue that reading this book provides an opportunity for.
This Thanksgiving I will add another thankful item…thankful for those who stand up, speak up and show up to make all our lives better. All the many advocates for responsible government spending & holding our elected officials accountable. Thank you all who care & provide hope things can be different. Thank you Jeff for your dedication & hard work to provide a safe platform for like minds, wishing everyone a blessed Happy Thanksgiving.
Great organized article. About the safepark program... i asked a committee person about the Park, since it is out back of the church, behind a roped off passage. What are the total plans of the parking area as projected to need $100,000? Answer: to pave it. So its cleaner. The TUMC facility is completely surrounded by paved parking area. Could they not have roped off a 5-car section and saved $50000? Ps: the CC granted the Sequim Warming Center, that operates out of a rented church basement, and serves up to 35 people (room limit) from freezing temps, only $22500 for 2 year grant. That amount seriosly limits the number of hours, monitors, and open times for Cold Ones who need warmth (they only open at 36 deg. For 10 hrs). I guess church membership helps get huge grants. Just asking, not complaining, just dont understand.
From Aug. 4 PDN article, seems like OlyCap is also getting a hearty slice of safe parking grift pie(on call staff night hours):
SEQUIM — Trinity United Methodist Church will soon kick off its Safe Parking Program, an initiative to provide those living in their vehicles a secure place to sleep at night.
The program, with help from local organizations, will get underway sometime this month, said Joe Cress, a member of Trinity UMC who heads the steering committee.
The city of Sequim announced it would start last Friday, but a staffing technicality has led to a short delay, Cress said.
“Right now, there is no safe parking place anywhere in Sequim (for the homeless),” Cress said. “(Those living in their vehicle) unfortunately spend a lot of their day trying to figure out where they can sleep at night and not get hassled.”
Three parking spaces will be available for use by clients referred by Peninsula Behavioral Health, Serenity House, REdisCOVERY/Olympic Peninsula Community Clinic and Olympic Community Action Programs (OlyCAP). Good Man Sanitation will provide a Sanican and a portable washing station. Although no showers will be available, guests will be able to wash their faces and hands.
There will be a shed on site containing items such as blankets, fire extinguishers, Narcan (an over-the-counter medication that treats opioid overdose), first aid supplies and tools for jump-starting vehicles.
Eventually, there will be five parking spaces designated for the program, but first, the church must pave an area adjacent to its property — work that will likely be completed sometime this fall, Cress said.
The church, located at 100 N. Blake Ave., has contracted with OlyCAP for staffing the program. Each day, a volunteer host and an OlyCAP staffer will be on site from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. to greet guests and determine any needs, and again from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. Guests are to depart by 8 a.m.
Cress said an OlyCAP staffer will be on call during the night and can be on site within 10 minutes.
Again, you're onto the crux of the matter wrt to the BOCCC. $100K is a lot of money to have not required a site visit, a plan from the church, nor requirement to report back the uses of the funds.
I've said it before, if a decision is made to spend money, require it to be spent with an efficiency that maximizes the intended use. PBH could serve so many more people than a handful, but they aren't going to. What's the result going to be? They'll be back wanting more. The cycle of tax payer dollars inefficient use needs a critical eye.
I can always tell a child who is homeschooled because they do look you in the eye and can communicate. But please don’t ask children to shy away from using good manners. my grandsons say ma’am, sir, thank you, you’re welcome. and please. They hold the door open for people but sometimes even that’s not taken well. I being respectful starts with those small things.
So I am assuming that the general public are the only ones who can hear Michael Heller screaming HELP ME. It keeps getting worse and worse yet the do gooders do nothing for him or us.
So thankful for you, Jeff, and your endless dedication to Clallam County and the people that call it home. May God bless you and yours...Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving Jeff and his people.
Do you think that 120 bucks includes a tube of Reparation H.
Last year, I forgot to take the tube out and baked the turkey with the Reparation H still in it -- I won't make that mistake again!
There's a lot of 'lube-'n' and 'tube'n' going on here today!🤣. $1000 Please.🤪
There's no room on my plate of turkey today for a helping of Clallam County 🐂💩
Happy Thanksgiving all.
P.S. the articles, on point. How can anyone find this to be acceptable?

Captain Crunch and Fruit Loops Jello Rolls, anyone?😁

Bacon and Cinnamon rolls? Yuuuummmmm! Pre-cooked Bacon wrapped inside the Cinnamon Rolls next? Askin' for a friend.🤣

I'm grateful for Watch Doggers and Truth Tellers all over the world!
Damn the grifters... and full speed ahead!🥸

I'm truly thankful for good neighbors like Jeff, Jake, and many other supportive CC Watchdoggers here.
I'm also glad that our County Commissioners act like nothing said here matters, though they read it daily!
Thankful for CC Watchdog and commenters for keeping us informed.
Thankful for public commenters at BOCCC podium. Takes guts to stand at microphone.
Thankful we are still able to speak 'freely'.
Thankful for the -unpardoned turkey and those to share with.
Thanks.
Today is a day for apoliticism, family, football and feasting. Enjoy as many and as much as you can.
Excellent writing as always Jeff Tozzer~!
Thank you and have a yummy & wonderful happy Thanksgiving ;-)
We have to find an excuse to buy something at Home Depot tomorrow, in an effort to "baste" all of the turkeys in our lives~!
Cheers~!
Mike
Thanks, Jeff, for all you do. Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.
I can always tell a child who is homeschooled because they do look you in the eye and can communicate.
