Peninsula Daily news/sequim Gazette 4 SEPTEMBER 2015 | HEALTHY LIVING

Fall brings the excitement of a new school year, new backpacks and for many youths, the start of fall sports.

In the United States, about 30 million children and teens participate in some form of organized sports.

Each year, participants experience more than 3.5 million injuries, causing lost playing time. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of youth sports injuries are preventable.

As your athletes take the field, here are some ideas to avoid injury:

1) Wear appropriate footwearChildren’s feet grow, so make sure shoes are the cor-

rect size. Also make sure your child has the correct type of cleat for the surface on which they will be playing.

If you are uncertain regarding what type of footwear your child should be wearing, talk to your coach.

2) Wear appropriate safety equipmentThis is particularly important with contact sports. Safety equipment includes things like helmets, shin

guards and mouth guards. Make sure they correctly fit your child and all components function properly.

Make sure your child knows how to take them on and off themselves.

3) Warm upMake sure your child arrives in time to participate

in warm up. Dynamic warm-up drills are an excellent way to prepare the body for an athletic activity.

Note that 62 percent of sports-related injuries occur during practice, so warming up is important on both practice and game day.

For a link to dynamic warm ups, check out: www.tinyurl.com/qcxecmr.

4) Stay fueled and hydratedAll athletes need adequate energy to perform their

best. For morning events, make sure your athletes wake up early enough to get a solid breakfast. For afternoon or evening events, have adequate snacks to bridge the gap between lunch and when they play.

Children 9-12 years old should drink 1.5 liters or seven glasses of water per day. Teens 13 and older, should drink 2 liters or eight to 10 glasses of water each day.

These numbers should increase on hot days and as exercise intensity increases.

5) Pay attention to first signs of injuryBumps and bruises are typical for children playing

sports. Persistent pain is not normal.

Overuse injuries account for nearly half of all injuries. These can present gradually over time.

Listen and talk to your athlete. If appropriate, discuss the situa-

tion with the coach and determine if the player should take a break, do an alternate form of conditioning, or apply PRICE (see No. 7 below).

6) Notice signs of concussion A concussion is a brain injury caused

by a blow to the head or a force causing quick motion of the head.

It is important to notice signs or symptoms of a concussion. If a concus-sion is suspected, the player must stop playing and be evaluated.

Continuing to play puts the player at risk of Second Impact Syndrome. Second Impact Syndrome is when an athlete sustains a second concussion while still having symptoms from the first concussion.

It can cause severe impairment and in rare cases death.

To learn more about concussions, check out: www.sportsconcussion.com.

7) PRICE For acute injuries, including things

like ankle sprains or pulled muscles,

treat the area using PRICE, which stands for Protect, Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevate.

Protect the area, by covering any open wound or bracing the joint.

Rest can mean either sitting out com-pletely or modifying participation to rest the injured area.

Ice for 15 to 20 minutes. Compress using an ace wrap. Elevate the area to reduce swelling. If self-care has not improved symp-

toms in 24 to 48 hours, it is recom-mended to consult your medical doctor or physical therapist.

Music for Baby & Me, Toddler Storytimes resumeSTORY BY PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

The North Olympic Library System recently resumed offering Music for Baby & Me and Toddler Storytimes at the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St.

Both library programs are free and open to the public.

Music for Baby & Me storytimes will occur every Friday at 11:15 a.m. from Sept. 11 until Nov. 20, and from Jan. 8 to May 13.

The program features songs, fingerplays and rhymes for babies up to 24 months old and their parents or caregivers.

Toddler Storytimes for children between the ages of 18 months and 3 years will occur at 10:15 a.m. every Friday from Sept. 11 to Nov. 20, and from Jan. 8 to May 13.

Toddler storytimes feature picture books, finger-plays, music and plenty of movement and wiggles.

MUSIC FOR BABY & MEAfter each Music for Baby & Me session, parents

and caregivers are welcome to linger, visit and swap information.

Those who attend three sessions will receive a free board book or audio CD to take home.

“It’s never too early to start reading, singing and

talking with your baby,” Youth Services Librarian Jennifer Knight said.

“Babies absorb the world around them and learn at an amazing rate. Research has shown that the first few years of a child’s life are critical to their development and later success in school.

“Programs like baby storytime help parents and caregivers by teaching tools and techniques that support early literacy.

“Music is an important part of language development, which is why baby storytimes at the Port Angeles Main Library are 85 percent rhyme and song.

“Storytime programs also help build a stronger community of parents and caregivers who can swap ideas, share stories and learn from each other.”

TODDLER STORYTIMESAfter each Toddler Storytimes session, parents

and caregivers will have an opportunity to visit and swap information about parenting resources in the community.

Studies show that children who are read to before the age of five develop essential pre-reading skills, supporting later success in school.

Activities such as talking, reading, playing and singing all play an important role in early childhood development, which is why they are included in

Toddler Storytimes at the library. These activities support skill development and

encourage children to interact with their caregivers and peers in a fun, literacy-rich environment.

For more information about North Olympic Library storytimes and other programs for youth, visit www.nols.org, phone 360-417-8500, ext. 7705, or send an email to [email protected].

Storytime programs are supported by the Port Angeles Friends of the Library.

Free pranic healing clinics plannedThe Port Angeles Pranic Healing Clinic, located at

the Sons of Norway Hall, 131 W. Fifth St., is offering free clinics to the community.

Clinics take place on the first and third Mondays of each month from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Pranic healing is an effective and powerful no-touch healing modality developed by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui that uses “life force,” or prana, to heal physical and emotional ailments, according to a news release.

This type of healing is based on two principles: the body has the ability to heal itself and the prin-ciple of “Life Force Energy.”

Pranic healing work with ailments ranging from stress, back pain, asthma and arthritis to traumas, phobias and addictions.

To make the most of a session, do not wear leather, silk or crystals; do not wash a treated area or shower at least 12 hours after the session (this ensures assimilation of energy for the purpose of healing instead of being washed away); and after the session, rest or follow your normal routine but no excessive exercise or activities.

Pranic healing is meant to enhance and complement your medical treatment, not meant to replace it.

For additional information about the clinics, visit www.portangelespranichealing.com or www.facebook.com/portangelespranichealing.com.


Do you or your child have the back-to-school blues?If so, you’re not the only ones. Saying goodbye to

slower summer days can be difficult. For almost three months, you felt free from the

structure of the classroom and the accompanying homework. When school starts, it’s common to feel some sadness.

For children who suffer from anxiety, this stress may be harder to handle, and it may stem from more than just pop quizzes and earlier bedtimes.

These children need extra attention when the school bell rings.

The best thing you can do to prepare your child is to give the gift of your time and attention.

Instead of dwelling on things like tests and home-work, talk about how to make the transition into the exciting new school year the best it can be.

These tips can help to reduce the stress and tension felt by you and your child, not only for the first weeks of school (the hardest time to adjust) but throughout the year as well.

1. Connected communicationEngage in a conversation with your child and ask

what he or she is excited and concerned about for the school year.

Give your child the freedom to speak openly and

Beating the stress of back to schoolSTORY BY BRANDPOINT avoid asking too many questions at once.

You’ll know you are connecting when he or she starts volunteering information.

When you listen to your child, and he or she can see the genuine interest and attention in your eyes and through your body language, they will feel more comfortable discussing the upcoming year.

2. Creative calendarsPlanning ahead makes adults feel prepared, which

is a huge de-stressor. The same goes for your child. Younger children only need a day or two to look

forward to a big change. Older children may benefit from discussing the big

changes weeks before, especially if those conversa-tions include working on things like organization, planning, prioritizing and sequencing (those impor-tant executive functions of the brain).

3. Visualize the goalGet specific and help your child visualize going

to school. Have your child tell you or draw out the sequence of the day, from waking up in the morning, to dressing in an outfit chosen the night before, to what he’ll or she’ll be enjoying as her brain-boosting energy breakfast.

The more your child can visualize his or her routine, the more he or she will be at ease when actually doing the routine.

returns to Port Angeles

story by LAURA LOFGREN

Peninsula Daily News

photos provided by THE BIG HURT

AFTER A LITTLE OVER A DECADE, Port Angeles is reviving the Big Hurt, a grueling four-leg race that will take place downtown starting at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26.

Back in 1997, the city asked the North Olympic Penin-sula Visitor and Convention Bureau to put together an event that would bring people to town.

After a brainstorming session with the Port Angeles Parks & Recreation Department, the Big Hurt was born.

The event started out with only 65 participants, but it grew to more than 300 racers in the next two years. At the peak of the event, there were nearly 600 participants.

The Visitor Bureau coordinated the event until 2002, after which it transferred to the Hurricane Ridge Public Development Authority.

Consisting of four race legs — mountain bike, kayak, road bike and run‚ — the event has had a number of distance and location configurations over the years.

The last year of the original event was 2004. The event is now being resurrected this year by co-

directors Scott Tucker, Tim Tucker and Lorrie Mittmann, plus Title Sponsor Family Medicine of Port Angeles.

“We feel that we live in a place with incredible out-door recreation opportunities and wanted to bring back the Big Hurt to showcase our beautiful place and our amazing activities for the benefit of the community,” Mittmann said.

“Over the years, whenever the Big Hurt was men-tioned, the common sentiment was ‘someone should bring it back,’” Scott Tucker said.

“It is a major undertaking . . . even more so than we thought. It’s like putting on four races in one day,” he said.

This year, the team is starting small in order to ensure

they have everything figured out. Participants ages 15 and older can race solo in the Iron

Division or as a relay team made up of two to four racers. There are 50 spots open in each category.

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

A portion of event proceeds is donated to the Peninsula Trails Coalition, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the construction, maintenance and promotion of the Olympic Discovery Trail and Olympic Adventure Trail.

THE HUBThe Big Hurt event central, or Hub, is located between

the Red Lion Hotel and the Port Angeles Pier on Lincoln Street and Railroad Drive.

Red Lion Hotel will host a beer garden and food concession at the Hub, which is open to the public and for race participants.

Community members are encouraged to hang out near the Hub to cheer on race participants.

Each participant will be treated to one free beer com-pliments of the Big Hurt and Olympic Distributing.

A food table with free snacks will be available for racers.Additional food will be for sale by Red Lion. There also will be some live music in the late afternoon

at the Hub.

TEAMSEach team will be assigned one timing chip that will

be included in and picked up with their race packet. This chip is associated with their team bib number and can-not be switched with any other chip.

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

There will be a “Transition Zone” established for the start and finish of each of the event legs (except moun-tain bike, which will have a remote start line but will finish in the Transition Zone).

During the race, a team member that is finishing their leg will touch his or her chip to the timing “Bulls Eye,” then go to the Transition Zone to hand off the chip to the next team member, who will complete their event and again touch the chip to the timing Bulls Eye.

All individuals and team members must be off the course by 5 p.m.

RACE LEGSThere are four legs to the Big Hurt: a 16.5 miles

mountain bike ride, a 3-mile kayak row, a 30-mile road bike route and a 10-kilometer (6.21-mile) run.

LEG 1: MOUNTAIN BIKINGThe mountain bike portion takes place in the Foothills

above Port Angeles on a combination of dirt logging road, single-track trail and paced road.

The course will start on a gated dirt road on the North side of Little River Road. Riders will go through the gate uphill to the start a little less than ½ mile up the logging road.

The Foothills trail is a multi-use trail, including motorized use. Some off-road riding experience is strongly recommended.

The bike racer must be capable of racing/riding on public roads that are open to motor vehicles. The racer is responsible for knowing the course. There are minimal signs and no mileage markers on the course.

Assistance along the course is not allowed. There will be a mechanic available at the start line for any last-minute emergencies.

Cyclists competing on a team are required to be dropped off at the gate on Little River Road. There is very limited parking at the gate, so cyclists must be dropped off by their team; however, team members and spectators can park temporarily along the road and walk to the start line if they wish to watch the race start.

Cyclists competing solo in the Iron Division will be shuttled from the Hub to the gate at 9 a.m.

LEG 2: KAYAKINGKayaking is an out and back east of Hollywood Beach

in Port Angeles Harbor.Kayakers will head east from the beach to pass a buoy

and continue straight until they reach another buoy. At this point, they will turn right toward the shore and in a short distance turn right again around the final buoy.

Packet pick up will take place Friday, Sept. 25, between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m, and Saturday, Sept. 26, between 7 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. at the Red Lion Hotel in Port Angeles.

Each team must bring a completed team roster when they pick up their packets, and all team members must be present together at packet pick up to sign their liability waivers.

The race starts at 10 a.m.

All racers must be off the course by 5 p.m.

As baby boomers age, the demand for younger look-ing and younger acting skin has grown.

Many treatments and products designed for this are making their way into the mainstream, and one of those is intense pulsed light (IPL).

First introduced in the 1990s, IPL represents a useful tool in the treatment of some dermatological conditions such as pigmented disorders, age spots, flushing, rosacea and dilated blood vessels.

Intense pulsed light also is used for collagen stimu-lation and hair removal.

IPL is different from laser in that it is polychromatic, non-coherent and broad spectrum.

Light from a laser beam is very narrow, only covering a small spot at a time, while IPL coverage is several times the area and therefore treatments are much quicker.

An IPL photo facial is a gentle, state-of-the-art approach to making your skin look younger and smoother. The process treats the full face, neck, chest or hands, rather than simply one isolated area or imperfection.

A series of IPL photo facial treatments can rejuvenate your complexion without downtime or a

prolonged recovery process.IPL treatment is based on light absorption in

melanin and hemoglobin. Treatments are most efficient in patients with light

skin who are not tanned at the time of treatment.Pre treatment protocols include the cessation of the

use of alpha hydroxy acid and retinols for one week prior to treatment.

In addition, no UV (ultraviolet radiation/rays) exposure for two weeks prior to treatment and no use of medicines that would make one photosensitive.

Pain tolerance is very individual from person to person. Expect some discomfort and a warming snap-like sensation on the skin during treatment.

This is what you can expect from treatment; for freckles and age spots, the dark spots generally look darker for three to 21 days as the pigmentation comes to the surface of skin and is shed naturally.

For veins, generally the skin looks slightly redder after treatment for two to five days.

The vascular lesions dissipate into the lymphatic system for excretion.

Light-based skin treatment offers people a way to look youngerSTORY BY BUNNY CORNWALL, LICENSED MASTER AESTHETICIAN AND BOARD-CERTIFIED MASSAGE THERAPIST

Collagen growth will happen because the light bypasses the outer layer of the skin and gently heats the cells in the deeper layer of skin.

These cells called fibroblasts start to produce more collagen which improves skin texture.

Fine lines and wrinkles are reduced, enlarged pores, minor pitting and scarring diminish and fade.

You will need between one and three treatments for successful reduction of pigmented lesions.

If you want to maintain collagen stimulation,

treatment is recommended every six to 12 months.Hair growth becomes sparser with each session and

all treated hair should shed within about two weeks.A note about hair — hair grows in constant cycles. Firstly, hairs are actively growing then they become

dormant, and finally they loosen and shed, only to be replaced by more new actively growing hairs.

Only hair follicles in the active growth stage are disabled by IPL treatments.

Hairs in the dormant stage of the growth cycle normally remain anchored in the follicles for weeks or months, depending on their location, but their follicles

and associated hair germination cells are not disabled by IPL treatments.

These follicles will be treated in subsequent sessions. This is why you need between six and 10 treatments.

Washington now allows for licensed master aestheti-cians to perform laser and light therapies once the pa-tient has the approval of a doctor or nurse practitioner.

Bunny Cornwall is a Port Angeles-based licensed master aesthetician and board-certified licensed massage therapist. Cornwall can be reached at 360-565-8000 or [email protected].
