Who Knew?We need a lot less “cleaner” than we think. Maybe just a teaspoon.That’s one of the lessons Rotarian Randy Monlux told his colleagues at their Nov. 20 meeting.Monlux owns the local Stanley Steemer operation, so he knows a thing or two about cleaning “green.”Kingston-North Kitsap Rotarians also learned that the most common and most predominate natural cleaner is coconut oil, which is harvested mostly in Indonesia, the Philippines, and India.Simply defined, cleaning is removing soils from a surface, placing them in suspension, and transferring them to somewhere else.Four elements are generally present in cleaning:chemistry, heat, agitation, and time.Monlux advised Rotarians when buying commercial cleaners to look for the EPA Safer Choice Program label “DfE,” designed for the Environment.
“Heritage Park is an amazing place to take a walk, either with friends, your dog, or alone.The trails go in many directions and are marked.Some are steeper than others, but all are beautiful, so bring your camera.”- March, 2018 Trip Advisor post.Retired biological science professor Tom Doty, a steward at North Kitsap Heritage Park, spoke to Kingston North Kitsap Rotarians at their meeting Nov. 13.Doty described the 818-acre park, ten-percent of which is wetlands, as a mixed forest, with a diversity of trees, and more than ten miles of trails.Thinning of trees is occurring, removing smaller trees to enhance the growth of larger ones.Many small streams lie within the park.Why is Kitsap County and its band of about a dozen volunteer stewards building bridges, thinning trees, mapping wetlands, and planning for the future of the park?Yes, for the outdoor experiences.But also for the rare fresh-water lamprey, cutthroat, salamanders and salmon found there.
