Late-Breaking Festival News<br />

A Festival Welcome to<br />

the Freddy Pink Band<br />

The fabulous rock and soul music of Freddy Pink and their fiery<br />

horn section will literally blow you away.<br />

Provided photo<br />

Undaunted by the nation-wide success of its original<br />

headliner and Voice featured attraction in July, the<br />

Festival Association Board signed a spectacular group,<br />

The Freddy Pink Band, to step in and entertain Festivalgoers<br />

on Saturday night, July 30.<br />

The eight-piece Freddy Pink Band has been described<br />

as having “a fire breathing horn section,” an “intense<br />

rhythm section,” “superlative vocal” and “dynamic visual<br />

experience.” With its bright, staccato brass section, this<br />

nine-piece band is reminiscent of “Chicago” and “Earth,<br />

Wind and Fire.” Influenced by great legends of rock and<br />

roll and rhythm and blues, the guys who make up the<br />

Freddy Pink Band freely admit they have not reinvented<br />

the wheel.<br />

One newspaper writer wrote, “Freddy Pink’s music is<br />

edgy, passionate and full of fire, yet it slides on comfortably<br />

like your favorite pair of blue jeans.” These guys<br />

have worked with music giants like Ray Charles, Natalie<br />

Cole, Sly and the Family Stone and Tina Turner.<br />

Though the Freddy Pink members are from the Seattle<br />

area, its leader Gordy Yancey is from Cape George near<br />

<strong>Port</strong> Townsend, the band made its leap from “Seattle<br />

band” to semi-national status in 2005 playing Sun Valley<br />

Lodge in Idaho, Big Sky Lodge in Montana and “Blues<br />

on the Prairie” in Calgary, Alberta.<br />

Okinawan Kenjin-Kai Taiko<br />

A one-of-a-kind performance by taiko drummers from the<br />

Okinawa Kenjin Club of Washington State will perform at<br />

Festival By The Bay on Saturday, July 30. They’re slated<br />

for Center Stage at 5:00 and again at 7:00 p.m. just before<br />

the main event!<br />

During the energetic performance, dancers play the small<br />

one-sided paranku, medium two-sided shime-daiko or<br />

the large barrel-shaped o-daiko. The banjo-like sanshin<br />

provides the other major instrumental sound in traditional<br />

songs. It is often used in contemporary pieces as well.<br />

Okinawan-style<br />

taiko features<br />

drums carried by<br />

the dancers and is<br />

accompanied by<br />

other music and<br />

singing. Other<br />

common elements<br />

of these dances are<br />

the movements and<br />

cheers reminiscent<br />

of karate. The cheer<br />

“Eisa” has become<br />

synonymous with<br />

Okinawan Taiko as<br />

drumming sends the<br />

Eisa spirit and spreads a message of peace, harmony and<br />

friendship.<br />

The Taiko Club was established in March 2007. Its<br />

purpose is to preserve Okinawan music and dance and<br />

to promote friendships by building cultural bridges with<br />

the community at large. Since its formation, the group<br />

has grown to over 50 members of all ages and everyone<br />

is welcome to join. Performers participate in various<br />

events throughout the region, such as club functions,<br />

school assemblies, fairs as well as pre-game shows for the<br />

Seattle Mariners.<br />

Okinawa, the southernmost prefecture of Japan, has a<br />

distinct culture of its own. Okinawan Taiko, one of its<br />

strongest and most famous traditions, evolved from the<br />

annual Obon festival honoring ancestors.<br />

Feature Articles<br />

From the Editor’s Keyboard<br />

by Beverly Browne, Managing Editor<br />

Community has a number of definitions; among them is<br />

“a unified body of people with common interests living<br />

in the same area.” In a community, individual members<br />

cooperate to serve their common needs and achieve their<br />

common goals. The community is more or less successful<br />

based on the extent to which it can do this.<br />

This year <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> shows its community spirit by<br />

bringing to life a festival that celebrates who we are. We<br />

have every reason to believe it will bring joy to the residents<br />

of <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong>, their guests and the region—and be<br />

a whopping success. The Festival Association members<br />

in charge of the event have worked diligently to make it<br />

so. An exciting three days are crammed with activities, art<br />

and crafts, music and dance and other special events. The<br />

food vendors are warming up their woks, pots and ovens<br />

to fill your tummies.<br />

Producing the Festival By The Bay was not without its<br />

glitches. The headliner singer, whom we recognized as a<br />

major talent, was a finalist in a national show, NBC-TV’s<br />

The Voice, and will be going on tour at the same time as<br />

the Festival. (Given the choice of Las Vegas or a small<br />

community on Puget Sound, what would you do as a<br />

rising star?) But this may be a good thing because the<br />

Freddy Pink Band that replaces her is well known and<br />

brings mighty talent, too. Furthermore, its musical genre<br />

may be more to the tastes of the audience. They are joined<br />

by Taiko drummers. I, for one, can hardly wait for that.<br />

The Festival this year has a well-rounded schedule of<br />

events for every interest. There are athletic events, serious<br />

and just plain fun. There is the car show for those (not just<br />

guys) interested in things automotive. The local artists<br />

will exhibit their work for your inspection and for sale.<br />

Our local Hawaii Club will perform to the soft strains of<br />

ukuleles. The Coast Guard, Fire Department and Sheriff’s<br />

Department will be providing exhibits—it just goes on<br />

and on.<br />

As a community, <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> has out-done itself.<br />

Congratulations to the Festival organizers and the volunteers.<br />

I hope you have bought your buttons now and plan<br />

to take part in the event of the year. Celebrate community!<br />

Kayaks on the Bay:<br />

<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Paddling Club<br />

by Simeon Baldwin, <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Paddling Club<br />

Kayaks, not to be confused with canoes, are popular in<br />

<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong>. These light maneuverable craft were first<br />

made and used by the Ainu, Aleut and Eskimo hunters<br />

of the sub-arctic regions. Native people used the boats<br />

to hunt in the inland lakes rivers and coastal waters of<br />

the Arctic Ocean, North Atlantic, Bering Sea and North<br />

Pacific Regions beginning almost 4,000 years ago.<br />

Today they provide a route to exploring our aquatic environment<br />

close up, and to having an enjoyable recreational<br />

experience. You can rent a kayak or you can own one.<br />

Some enthusiasts, like me, have even built them. In fact,<br />

native kayaks were personal craft, each built by the men<br />

who owned them. With the help of skilled craftsmen at<br />

the Wooden Boat School personally built kayaks can be a<br />

work of art.<br />

Kayakers in <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> have formed an association, the<br />

<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Paddling Club, devoted to the enjoyment of<br />

kayaking. John Reseck started the Club in 1995 with help<br />

from his wife, Sharon. In those days, many paddled twice a<br />

week out of <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong>. In 2009 Doris Monti volunteered<br />

to lead our Club and I joined her as Co-Chair, in 2010.<br />

Around 1997 kayak racks were built on the dock at the<br />

<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Marina for storage of craft. Soon, there were<br />

not enough cradles for all the kayakers that wanted to keep<br />

their kayaks on the dock. The result was an active waiting<br />

list. The kayak rack is an interesting and colorful addition<br />

to the marine landscape of <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong>, even if there is<br />

not enough room for everyone to store his/her kayak there.<br />

By 1999, quite a few members were planning and having<br />

successful five-day trips. Some of the out-of-area trips<br />

in past years included: Loreto, Baja California (seven<br />

trips); Lake Powell, UT (kayaks on houseboats; two<br />

trips); Broken Islands, BC (1999, 2001, 2003, 2005,<br />

2007, 2009); Quadra Islands, BC (two trips); Tofino, BC,<br />

Salt Spring Island, BC and Belize (two times). Many<br />

outings take place in the local area with a traditional 1:00<br />

p.m. paddle from the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Marina most Sundays<br />

during the summer.<br />

The schedule for 2011 is a work in progress. Some overnight<br />

paddles are being planned in the Hood Canal/Puget<br />

Sound area for later in the year. There is a one-night trip<br />

Kayaks continued from previous page<br />

planned to Lake Crescent in Olympic National Park this<br />

September.<br />

The <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Paddling Club is an informal group of<br />

folks who enjoy paddling and are looking for paddling<br />

partners and camaraderie. There are no dues or fixed<br />

meetings, but they try to have an annual planning meeting<br />

over the Winter or early Spring. Most of us have our own<br />

kayaks but a good deal of borrowing and swapping goes<br />

on as well. As with most groups, people come and go as<br />

the years go on.<br />

Paddlers annually participate in “capsize recovery” training to<br />

practice this needed skill.<br />

Photo by John Reseck<br />

The Club asks that “members” have initial paddle craft<br />

safety training and use personal floatation device (PFD)<br />

life vests and appropriate paddle clothing, as well as the<br />

minimum vessel safety equipment. Also, they should<br />

plan on paddling with a partner or group to ensure safety.<br />

There is a leader with each planned paddle. Each year<br />

we conduct a “rescue/recovery clinic” to practice needed<br />

skills in case of an on-the-water upset or emergency.<br />

The current mailing list for members is around 70<br />

households. <strong>Ludlow</strong> paddlers often go on outings with<br />

neighboring clubs: Olympic Peninsula Paddlers in <strong>Port</strong><br />

Angeles, Rain Shadow Kayakers in Sequim, Peninsula<br />

Wilderness Club of Kitsap Peninsula, and Olympic Kayak<br />

Club in <strong>Port</strong> Gamble. The <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> paddlers welcome<br />

new members.<br />

Scotch Broom—the Beautiful Plague<br />

by Eva VanBuren, Beach Club Editor<br />

Some time ago when my spouse and I were checking<br />

out this area as our possible retirement destination, we<br />

admired those colorful yellow flowering bushes blooming<br />

at the same time as the rhododendrons. We soon found<br />

they are classified as Class B Noxious Weeds in these<br />

parts. Scotch broom spreads about one mile each year,<br />

crowding out native plants and newly planted trees, a bane<br />

to reforestation efforts. By displacing native vegetation, it<br />

reduces wildlife food and habitat. It’s also a potential fire<br />

hazard and can trigger allergic reactions in some people.<br />

Pulling out these invasive noxious weeds is effective,<br />

as is cutting and treating with herbicides within 5-20<br />

minutes—but its seeds remain viable in the ground for<br />

up to 60 years, making our efforts seem limited. Enter<br />

Bruchidius villosus, a tiny beetle barely the size of a<br />

pinhead, being used in the war against Scotch broom.<br />

These bugs attack Scotch broom, without damaging<br />

native plants, by feeding on the pollen of those yellow<br />

blossoms and sending the plants into shock. Soon their<br />

larvae hatch inside the seed pods and devour the seeds,<br />

preventing the plant from reproducing.<br />

A typical Scotch broom site requires 100 to 250 adult<br />

beetles to begin a colony, with four to five years needed<br />

for an increase in population sufficient for plant control.<br />

Establishment rate is higher in interior valleys than at<br />

cooler sites near the coast and in the lower Cascade<br />

Mountains. Hand-pulling, cutting, herbicides and these<br />

beetles are important tools in our efforts to control the<br />

invasive Scotch broom. For more information on noxious<br />

weeds, visit the site www.co.jefferson.wa.us/weedboard.<br />

Favorite Products at Trader Joe’s<br />

by Kathleen Traci, Contributing Writer<br />

<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> residents have definite ideas about their<br />

favorite products from our newest culinary destination,<br />

Trader Joe’s (TJ’s) in Silverdale. Lynn Folsom and<br />

Deanna Richards expressed their affinity for the wide<br />

selection of cheeses, appetizers and wines available.<br />

Evelyn Fett says that she and her husband Darrell love<br />

TJ’s Dutch Smoked Cheese (gouda). Dee McConnell<br />

keeps TJ’s Mushroom Turnovers in her freezer for<br />

unexpected guests.<br />

Deanna Richards said, “Their selection of inexpensive<br />

wines is quite good, e.g., Tres Pinos, Three Pines Covee<br />

from San Luis Obispo County, CA and Panilonco, a<br />

Merlot Malbec from Chile.” Deanna keeps TJ’s Savory<br />

Thin Mini-crackers, Basil Cubes and the Haricot Vert<br />

Green Beans (both frozen) as staples in her home.<br />

Barbara Berthiaume especially likes the selection of<br />

organic produce. Many residents mentioned the specialty<br />

salad greens, including baby arugula and micro-salad<br />

greens. Janet Force said that her daughter loves the<br />

organic root vegetables. <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> residents recommended<br />

the following additional products:<br />

• Charlotte Pennington: Maitre Pierre Tarte d’Alsace<br />

French Flat Bread with Ham, Carmelized Onion, and<br />

Gruyere Cheese (frozen)<br />

• Tom and Nancy Conley: Frozen Fettuccine and<br />

Mushrooms<br />

• Betty Cragoe: Chicken with Sweet and Sour Sauce and<br />

Peruvian Chimichurri Rice and Vegetables (frozen)<br />

Ginger Chews<br />

According to Trader Joe’s personnel, their biggest seller<br />

is Mandarin Orange Chicken (frozen) and one of their<br />

biggest snack items is TJ’s Roasted Seaweed Snack<br />

(tastes a little like cod liver oil to me but customers often<br />

purchase it by the case). Gustavo, a Silverdale Trader<br />

Joe’s cashier, said his favorite product is TJ’s Mochi Ice<br />

Cream. However, he still has not decided which flavor he<br />

liked the best, strawberry or mango.<br />

My favorite TJ’s products are Triple Ginger Cookies,<br />

Raw Sliced Almonds, Dark Chocolate Crisps and frozen<br />

Mango Chunks, another best seller. If you have favorite<br />

products to recommend, please send them to me at<br />

Bluebills Distribute School Supplies<br />

by Barbara Berthiaume, Contributing Writer<br />

The challenges facing students, parents and teachers in<br />

our community as school starts has never been greater<br />

due to drastic education budget cuts. According to World<br />

Vision, 13 million families live below the poverty level<br />

and the Peninsula certainly reflects this statistic. In the<br />

past, teachers have spent anywhere from $500 to $1,000<br />

out of their own pockets to provide supplies for students<br />

who cannot afford them and many local retired teachers<br />

think this figure is too conservative. With staff and salary<br />

reductions, preparing for this academic year will be even<br />

more daunting.<br />

World Vision distributes school supplies for teachers in<br />

schools that meet the requirement of 70 percent of the<br />

students being eligible for reduced price or free lunch<br />

programs. The Boeing Bluebills have partnered with<br />

World Vision in delivering school supplies three times<br />

during the school year. They recently loaded three pallets<br />

of school supplies from the World Vision warehouse in<br />

Fife, unloaded it to a member’s garage, and reloaded<br />

the supplies to go to six schools in Kitsap and Clallam<br />

Counties before the start of the new school year.<br />

Three pallets equal an inventory of about one ton of<br />

supplies and included 10,000 pencils, 8,000 crayon<br />

boxes, 1,000 folders, boxes of scotch tape, markers,<br />

books, calculators, magnets and numerous other items.<br />

It took three trips to Fife to gather all of the supplies and<br />

about 70 hours of volunteer time to accomplish the task.<br />

Bluebill volunteers drove over 900 miles from Kitsap<br />

County to the Pacific Ocean and north coast of Clallam<br />

County to deliver these supplies to schools in need.<br />

In talking with a principal of one of the schools, Dick<br />

Ostlund, Bluebill co-coordinator for the school supplies<br />

program, was very surprised to learn that there were more<br />

than 30 homeless students in their program. Other school<br />

personnel on the Peninsula have corroborated similar<br />

figures. It appears that homeless students are a growing<br />

presence in our community.<br />

The need is great, the resources are scarce, and each<br />

of us can make a difference by stepping forward and<br />

giving a few hours of volunteer time. If you are interested<br />

in further information, please contact Dick Ostlund<br />

at 437-7747. You do not have to be a Boeing retiree<br />

to participate, as there is an associate program that<br />

welcomes all who have a big heart, a few resources, and<br />

time to lend a helping hand.<br />

From the Desk of the<br />

Commissioner<br />

by John Austin, Jefferson County Commissioner<br />

Almost anywhere in our County, or on Highway 3 to<br />

Bremerton, we notice a vast crop of green and gold<br />

foliage. At first glance this plant is attractive, but it is one<br />

of our most pervasive noxious weeds. Originally imported<br />

to the U.S. as an ornamental and to stabilize soil, it took<br />

root and has crowded out native species. Recently I spoke<br />

with a British constituent who told me that our beloved<br />

Salal has become a weed in Scotland. One country’s crop<br />

is another country’s weed.<br />

By the time this article is published, a number of <strong>Port</strong><br />

<strong>Ludlow</strong> residents will have volunteered time on July 26<br />

battling the Scotch Broom. They deserve our thanks, for<br />

the weed sinks deep roots and to pull out an established<br />

plant requires a special tool and strong muscles.<br />

Recently the County Weed Board identified Wild Chervil<br />

(Anthriscus sylvestris) as an aggressive roadside weed.<br />

The Weed Board and the County Department of Public<br />

Works have teamed up to selectively spray outbreaks of<br />

this weed where it has threatened to dominate County<br />

roadsides. Several areas west of Eaglemount Road have<br />

been targeted for treatment. Adjacent property owners<br />

will be notified before any application is made.<br />

The County Noxious Weed Control Board consists of<br />

four volunteers: Richard Hild, John Richmond, Patricia<br />

Robinson and Jill Silver. Eve Dixon has served as supervising<br />

staff for a number of years and has an office at<br />

Washington State University (WSU) extension. If you<br />

have questions regarding weeds or if you would like to be<br />

involved in the battle, give Eve a call at the 379-5610 or<br />

Build It and They Will Come<br />

by Teresa Verraes, Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce<br />

Executive Director<br />

It’s hard to believe that I have been back on the Peninsula<br />

and working as the Executive Director (ED) of the<br />

Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce for almost<br />

six months. Prior to the ED position I owned and operated<br />

several businesses and feel deeply connected to<br />

our membership of hard working people. I believe that<br />

overall, most of us truly want the same thing—we want to<br />

thrive.<br />

In light of this story, I attempted to count how many times<br />

I have said to myself, “If I had known then what I know<br />

now.” This is significant because in my 19 years of entrepreneurial<br />

endeavors I had very little understanding of the<br />

function of a Chamber of Commerce.<br />

Wikipedia defines a Chamber of Commerce as a local<br />

organization of businesses whose goal is to further the<br />

interests of businesses. Business owners in towns and<br />

cities form these local societies to advocate on behalf of<br />

the business community. Our chamber is a local chamber<br />

that should not to be confused with the U.S. or National<br />

Chamber. Wiki continues by saying local chambers<br />

work on the local level to bring the business community<br />

together to develop strong local networks, which can<br />

result in a business-to-business exchange. In most cases,<br />

local chambers work with their local government, such as<br />

their mayor, their city council and local representatives to<br />

develop pro-business initiatives.<br />

In times such as now where every dollar counts and<br />

concerns are constant, I would like to invite you to attend<br />

Chamber meetings, become a member and get involved.<br />

If you have attended in the past and have since opted<br />

out, please return so we may illustrate to you how we are<br />

changing and how, together, we can build a community<br />

that continues to thrive.<br />

Belfair State Park and<br />

the Discover Pass<br />

by Bev Rothenborg, Contributing Writer<br />

It was a sunny day in early July when a granddaughter<br />

said, “Let’s pack a picnic and take the kids to Belfair State<br />

Park.” Not one to ignore such an invitation, I prepared the<br />

peanut butter/jelly sandwiches and helped load up the car<br />

with kids, swimsuits, lunches and all the other gear necessary<br />

for such an outing.<br />

First, a little about the park: Belfair State Park is a<br />

63-acre, year-round camping park on 3,720 feet of saltwater<br />

shoreline on Hood Canal about an hour’s drive from<br />

<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong>. Long ago, it was a central meeting place for<br />

generations of Native Americans. The Skokomish tribe<br />

used the area for gathering shellfish.<br />

There is a clear lovely salmon stream running through<br />

the park and that is our favorite area. River rocks have<br />

been placed in the stream to make shallow swimming<br />

holes and children use their floats to ride the currents.<br />

Our group had a marvelous time doing that and collecting<br />

bucketsful of crawly things that we returned to the stream<br />

before heading home. The sky was blue and cloudless,<br />

wet kids were laughing and shouting, and a bald eagle<br />

was watching the spectacle. “This is heaven on earth,” I<br />

thought as I lolled in the shade and ate my sandwich!<br />

Before entering the State Park, we realized that we needed<br />

to purchase a Discover Pass. We stopped at the office<br />

and gave the attendant our $30 and she gave us a hangtag<br />

good for one year for one vehicle only to hang from our<br />

rearview mirror. We could have bought a day pass at $10,<br />

but we like parks and visit often. After all, Washington<br />

has seven million acres of State recreation lands including<br />

100 developed State Parks that include forests, beaches,<br />

deserts, lakes, rivers, mountains and alpine meadows. The<br />

State’s budget crisis continues to grow. In fact we noticed<br />

that last year’s lush grass was brown and dry! $30 seems<br />

like a real bargain to ensure that we are able to continue<br />

enjoying all of this!<br />

For further information, go to www.discoverpass.wa.gov<br />

or call 1-888-320-9933. The pass may be purchased<br />

online, from any of 600 recreational license vendors<br />

where fishing and hunting licenses are sold or by phone.<br />

Note these independent vendors may charge an additional<br />

service fee.<br />

Eating Around: Have a Cup of Joy<br />

by Eline Lybarger, Contributing Writer<br />

Hansville’s coffee café,<br />

Cup of Joy, is a large,<br />

square, white building<br />

built in the 1930s, which<br />

has cheerful, inviting pots<br />

of flowers on the steps.<br />

The two rooms inside<br />

are eclectically decorated<br />

with newly upholstered<br />

antiques, creating a wellscrubbed<br />

charm. This is<br />

the dream of Bob and<br />

Cathy Sand, and Darryl<br />

and Joy Ulskey, who met 10 years ago at their sons’ Little<br />

League games in Edmonds. Darryl and Joy purchased<br />

a summer—possibly retirement—place in Hansville’s<br />

Skunk Bay, and later bought this building.<br />

Although Kathy says it was hard to turn in her hairdresser<br />

scissors for an espresso machine, the couples spent four<br />

years putting together a business plan right down to the<br />

menu and coffee and opened the doors this February.<br />

Although Cathy and Daryll still live in Edmonds, Cathy<br />

stays in an apartment above Cup of Joy when working on<br />

this side of the bay (or sound?). An early-riser, she opens at<br />

7:00 a.m. in the morning while Joy is the afternoon closer<br />

at 3:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday and 7:00 p.m.,<br />

Friday through Sunday.<br />

With an ancient septic system that puts severe limitations<br />

on water usage, the owners wanted to be as “green” as<br />

possible and use biodegradable paper products. Wanting<br />

to serve fresh, high quality local foods, their breads and<br />

baked items come from Liberty Bay Baker and Miracle<br />

Morsels. The coffee is from Guatemala Finca Bourbon,<br />

a family-owned plantation producing coffee since 1878,<br />

roasted and delivered to them by Vashon Coffee. Brewing<br />

coffee fresh, slicing their own cheeses, meats, tomatoes<br />

and fruits provides fresh products.<br />

There are many distinctive food items on the Cup of Joy<br />

menu. Try the Focaccia sandwich, prepared especially<br />

for you with tomato, mozzarella, fresh basil and balsamic<br />

vinegar and grilled on fresh focaccia bread. A new dinner<br />

item is the Bleu Cheeseburger on ciabatta bread. Other<br />

favorites are Chicken Coconut Curry soup, usually available<br />

on Sunday, and the Walking Strawberry Shortcake<br />

made with fresh strawberries over shortbread and real<br />

whipped cream—not from a can. As the days get warmer,<br />

Cathy and Joy are thinking of adding something cold and<br />

refreshing like smoothies or Italian sodas and Walking<br />

Fresh Peach shortcake.<br />

Currently on Mocha Mondays you can get a 12-ounce<br />

hot or iced blend of coffee and chocolate garnished<br />

with whipped cream for only $1. On Tuesdays there is a<br />

Breakfast Panini made with ham, bacon, egg, your choice<br />

Cup of Joy has more than food; an adjacent room has<br />

unique clothing items, accessories like hats and jewelry<br />

and some artwork, all locally created. In back there is a<br />

bird sanctuary. Imagine taking your shortcake for a walk<br />

in the bird sanctuary. Yum!<br />

Seattle Children’s<br />

Hospital Guild Walkathon<br />

by Dion Watson<br />

The year was 1908. The facility was the 12-bed Fresh Air<br />

Cottage on Queen Anne Hill, the first building constructed<br />

by Children’s Orthopedic Hospital. From that humble<br />

beginning Seattle Children’s has grown to one of the<br />

nation’s finest and now accommodates 250 beds. The<br />

Hospital is building a new facility in Laurelhurst, adjacent<br />

to the main campus. The first phase is expected to<br />

open in 2013. In addition, there are seven off-site clinics:<br />

Bellevue, Everett, Federal Way, Odessa Brown, Olympia,<br />

Tri-Cities and Alaska Cardiology.<br />

Children’s serves four states: Washington, Alaska, Idaho<br />

and Montana. Licensed beds include pediatric intensive<br />

care units, cardiac intensive care, neo-natal intensive<br />

care, medical and surgical units, Seattle Care Alliance/<br />

Oncology, Rehabilitation and Critical Care Unit and<br />

psychiatric unit. Hundreds of guilds support the hospital’s<br />

uncompensated care fund and Research Institute.<br />

The latter includes endowed chairs in pediatric infectious<br />

disease, urology, immunology, tissue and cell science and<br />

integrative brain research.<br />

One mother founded the Pediatric Brain Research Guild.<br />

She had this emotional story to tell. “Max [Hanson] was<br />

eight when he was diagnosed with brain cancer. The<br />

bottom dropped out of our world. We thought he was going<br />

to die. Max underwent neurosurgery and a regimen of radiation<br />

and chemo. Max is now a freshman in high school<br />

and doing well. Because people raise money to improve<br />

cancer treatment for children, my son is still alive.”<br />

In Jefferson County 634 children were sent to Children’s<br />

in 2010. The costs to uncompensated care were $437,855.<br />

The <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Guild Walkathon will take place<br />

on Saturday, August 27. Visit the Seattle Children’s<br />

Guild booth at the Festival By The Bay to register. The<br />

Walkathon fee is $20 for advance registration, $25 on the<br />

day of the hikes. Also, one may register at the Bay Club<br />

where there is a Walkathon Notebook that will contain<br />

registration forms and an envelope for your check. Two<br />

walks will be offered, one two-and-one-half miles and the<br />

other four-and-one-half miles. They will be easy and there<br />

will be time to stop and enjoy the scenery. Both hikes<br />

will feature parts of the Around the Bay trail and a visit to<br />

Picnic Point. All activity begins at 8:30 in the Bay Club<br />

parking lot.<br />

Walkathon continued from previous page<br />

A raffle drawing will precede the walks. Tickets are<br />

currently being sold for $l each. Many local merchants<br />

have donated generously and <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Associates<br />

(PLA) has awarded a night at The Inn followed by two<br />

brunches and two rounds of golf. There are $50 gift<br />

certificates from QFC, Central Market, Wal-Mart, Ajax<br />

Café, Starbucks, a massage and facial from <strong>Ludlow</strong> Bay<br />

Wellness Spa, a haircut by Sonja and more.<br />

Please join your neighbors and friends for a beautiful<br />

morning, knowing you are helping children in profound need.<br />

Math Program Seeks Volunteers<br />

Less than half of East Jefferson County’s third graders<br />

met Wasington State math standards in 2010. This matters<br />

because students below grade level in math and reading at the<br />

end of third grade are at serious risk of becoming high school<br />

dropouts. Since 1992 dropouts lost 24 percent in purchasing<br />

power. High school graduates lost 10 percent and students<br />

with some college lost 7 percent while those with a bachelor’s<br />

degree or more increased purchasing power by 19 percent<br />

according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor.<br />

To improve math outcomes, AAUW <strong>Port</strong><br />

Townsend and Chimacum Elementary<br />

School piloted a successful program using<br />

volunteers during the spring of 2011.<br />

Students improved, on average, over 20<br />

percentage points.<br />

In October 2011 Chimacum, <strong>Port</strong> Townsend, Quilcene<br />

and Brinnon schools will implement the new program.<br />

AAUW <strong>Port</strong> Townsend supplies organization, training<br />

and materials. UWF (University Women’s Foundation<br />

of Jefferson County), <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Yacht Club (PLYC),<br />

schools and parents provide funding.<br />

Would you like to help third graders improve their math<br />

skills? Volunteer for two hours on Tuesday or Thursday<br />

afternoons. Small Group coaches help students master the<br />

basics of every day math (addition, subtraction, multiplication,<br />

division and simple fractions) through game-like<br />

activities. The coaching kit with card games, flash cards<br />

and hands-on learning materials is organized for success.<br />

Computer Lab coaches help students read instructions,<br />

stay focused, use paper and pencil to do math computations<br />

and learn to use the ALEKS ‘explain’ feature when<br />

they don’t understand how to solve a problem. Volunteers<br />

are paired for continuity and scheduling flexibility.<br />

<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> residents are invited to view a photo presentation<br />

of the program at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 9<br />

at the home of Ellin Larimer, 151 Mount Christie Court.<br />

Please RSVP to 437-5022.<br />

Beginning Computer Classes<br />

The next session of Beginning Computer classes, sponsored<br />

by the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Computer Club (PLCC), are<br />

forming. These classes, held at the Bay Club, have been<br />

offered for 14 years as a community service by PLCC and<br />

membership in the Computer Club is not a requirement.<br />

Classes are suitable for beginners, for people contemplating<br />

a computer purchase and generally for people who wish to<br />

understand or brush up on the fundamentals of Windows<br />

XP/Vista and Windows 7, e-mail, letter writing and Internet<br />

browsing. They are also useful for people transitioning<br />

from Windows XP or Vista to Windows 7.<br />

The next series of classes will begin on Wednesday,<br />

September 28 and continue for four additional<br />

consecutive Wednesdays, October 5, 12, 19 and 26 from<br />

2:00 to 5:00 p.m.<br />

Registration is now open for the fall series. The $30 fee<br />

includes an easy-to-use text. Over 800 of your neighbors<br />

have already attended this popular course and classes fill<br />

very rapidly. If you have interest or wish to register, call<br />

Bernie Kestler at 437-5102 for all the details.<br />

To join the team or learn more please contact either of<br />

the co-chairs, Mary Weeding or Gay Eisenberger at<br />

The Clinic will provide both urgent and primary care for<br />

<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> residents who previously traveled to <strong>Port</strong><br />

Hadlock, <strong>Port</strong> Townsend or Poulsbo for medical services.<br />

According to CEO Mike Glenn, people with emergencies<br />

such as heart attacks should go to an emergency room.<br />

The facility offered the approximately 100 open house<br />

visitors a variety of tempting appetizers and beverages.<br />

Staff also provided free blood pressure and cholesterol<br />

screening. Grand Opening raffle winners were<br />

William Weir for the restaurant gift certificate and Sally<br />

Hirschmann for an overnight stay at the Inn At <strong>Port</strong><br />

<strong>Ludlow</strong>.<br />

The recently remodeled Clinic has two examination<br />

rooms, a procedure room, an X-ray facility and small<br />

lab. It will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday<br />

through Friday. On Saturday it is open from 10:00 a.m.<br />

Acrobatics Performed on a Sailboat<br />

Here are two unusual performances that are not to be<br />

missed on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, August<br />

23, 24 and 25. After sailing around the world since 2004<br />

with acrobatic shows on a sailboat, French acrobatists<br />

Delphine Lechifflart and Franck Rabilier have reached<br />

<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong>, gem of Puget Sound. The acrobats, inspired<br />

by circus, dance and theater, have created two silent<br />

productions using the mast, boom and rigging of their<br />

sailboat. Initially for the Society of old quays of Montreal,<br />

the shows have been performed in Europe, Morocco,<br />

Caribbean Islands, Eastern Canada, Bermuda, Panama,<br />

Costa Rica, Mexico and the Hawaiian Islands.<br />

Buster Keaton silent films inspired the first show, “The<br />

Navigators.” It is a parody of navigational maneuvers<br />

that pokes fun at maladroit navigators. See the show at<br />

5:00 p.m. The second show, “Between Wing and Island,”<br />

is about male and female relationships. It features spectacular<br />

aerial choreography and acrobatics in a duet that<br />

ranges from love, humor and poetry to earth, sea and sky.<br />

The show begins at 7:00 p.m. Both shows are 20 minutes<br />

long and will be performed at the Marina, most likely east<br />

of “A” dock.<br />

Performances are free and the artists are not paid for their<br />

work. They invite the audience to make donations to help<br />

fund their journey as they circumnavigate the world with<br />

their two 7-year-old girls aboard LaLoupiote. You can<br />

track their travels online at www.voilierspectacle.com.

League Artist of the Month<br />

An architectural project by Lidija Gregov.<br />

Provided photo<br />

Photographer and<br />

architect, Lidija<br />

Gregov, is the<br />

Artists’ League<br />

Artist of the Month<br />

in August. Her<br />

photographs of<br />

landscapes and<br />

architectural drawings<br />

will be showcased<br />

at Columbia<br />

Bank throughout<br />

the month.<br />

Gregov, a native<br />

of Croatia, and<br />

a naturalized<br />

U.S. citizen, is a<br />

licensed architect<br />

in Washington and<br />

a member of the<br />

American Institute<br />

of Architects (AIA). Her projects range from single family<br />

residences to commercial and institutional projects, including<br />

a 20-year involvement with the Museum of Flight in Seattle.<br />

Lidija and her architect husband Ivo both worked on all three<br />

phases of the Museum: the original Red Barn manufacturing<br />

plant, the Great Gallery steel and glass complex. They also<br />

worked on the café, catering and banquet facilities as well as<br />

the Control Tower Exhibit Building.<br />

Moving to <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> in 1998, Lidija’s architectural<br />

practice continues. Her photograph portfolio features<br />

landscapes from around the Olympic Peninsula along<br />

with her architectural projects. The photographic images<br />

are basic digital photographs, not enhanced in Photoshop.<br />

Her architectural drawings are computer-generated<br />

AutoCAD drawings. An important element of Lidija’s<br />

work is the use of light to expressively reveal the quality<br />

of the architectural structure and the beauty of nature.<br />

League members and <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> friends are invited<br />

to view Lidija’s exhibit at the First Friday Reception<br />

on Friday, August 5, 4:00 -5:00 p.m. in the lobby of<br />

Columbia Bank and following from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. in<br />

the League’s Art Gallery adjacent to the bank.<br />

Chief Ed Wilkerson’s<br />

Safety Message<br />

The months of August and September tend to be a time<br />

when we see increased wildfire activity here on the<br />

Olympic Peninsula. With more dwellings in woodland<br />

settings, more homeowners face the very real danger of<br />

wildfire. Wildfires often begin unnoticed. They spread<br />

quickly, igniting brush, trees and homes. Reduce your<br />

risk by preparing now—before wildfire strikes. Meet with<br />

your family to decide what to do and where to go if wildfires<br />

threaten your area.<br />

Practice Wildfire Safety by:<br />

• Making sure that fire vehicles can get to your home.<br />

• Reporting hazardous conditions that could cause a<br />

wildfire.<br />

• Teaching children about fire safety—keeping matches<br />

out of their reach.<br />

• Posting fire emergency telephone numbers.<br />

• Planning several escape routes away from your home—<br />

by car and by foot.<br />

• Planning how the neighborhood could work together<br />

after a wildfire. Make a list of your neighbors’ skills<br />

such as medical or technical. Consider how you could<br />

help neighbors who have special needs, such as elderly<br />

or disabled persons. Make plans to take care of children<br />

who may be on their own if parents can’t get home.<br />

Before wildfire threatens, take measures to prevent spread<br />

of fire. Select materials and plants that can help contain<br />

fire rather than fuel it. Remove flammable vegetation<br />

including dead branches. Keep shrubs and firewood away<br />

from the house. Use fire resistant or non-combustible<br />

materials on the roof and exterior structure of the<br />

dwelling. Regularly clean roof and gutters and chimneys.<br />

Clean them at least once a year.<br />

When wildfire threatens, listen to your battery-operated<br />

radio for reports and evacuation information. Follow the<br />

instructions of local officials.<br />

Wildfire and other types of disasters can strike quickly and<br />

without warning. You can cope by preparing in advance<br />

and working with your family to devise a Family Disaster<br />

Plan that includes a Disaster Supplies Kit. If you have<br />

questions regarding wildfires, call 437-2236. The Fire<br />

Department has free printed materials that will help you.<br />

Reporting Marine Accidents<br />

A recent incident involving a person falling overboard<br />

in <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Bay has prompted an investigation into<br />

what observers should do in such cases. David Aho of<br />

the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Coast Guard Auxiliary advises that the<br />

best action is first to call 9-1-1; then report the incident<br />

to the Marina. Those on board or in nearby craft should<br />

alert others to the accident. If it is possible to assist from<br />

the water, that should be done—retrieving the individual,<br />

providing a flotation device or both.<br />

A person may fall overboard for many reasons: they<br />

might have been struck by a part of the vessel, they may<br />

lose their footing due to a slippery deck or an unexpected<br />

movement of the boat, or any number of other reasons.<br />

It is dangerous and life-threatening. Approximately 67<br />

percent of such incidents involve pleasure craft.<br />

Because such accidents are often fatal, it is important<br />

to prevent them from happening and to be prepared for<br />

them when they do. On large vessels, passengers on deck<br />

should never climb or sit on the railings but keep their<br />

center of mass well below the top rail. Except in fierce<br />

weather, it is difficult to be washed, blown or to trip<br />

overboard from this position. Life jackets (always) and<br />

safety harnesses (in some cases) are necessary equpment.<br />

Boaters should follow published procedures for use.<br />

Apart from staying safe, most yachting schools teach and<br />

require students to practice man-overboard drills. This<br />

is recommended so that should the worst occur, everybody<br />

on board knows what to do. It also provides a good<br />

opportunity to practice close-quarters maneuvering. In the<br />

cold waters of Puget Sound the possibility of hypothermia<br />

is very real and can be made worse by hoisting the<br />

individual up vertically thus causing circulation to drain<br />

to lower extremities. Rescuers should be cautious not to<br />

become casualties themselves by falling or being pulled<br />

overboard. If possible, use the natural action of the vessel<br />

to lift the casualty on board.

Brazen Bayview Bear<br />

Attacks Birdfeeders<br />

Bayview’s bear continues to gain confidence as well as size.<br />

Provided photo<br />

Call it the Bayview Village Bear, the Golf Course “Trail”<br />

Bear, the Teal Lake or the Timberton Village Bear—one<br />

or three different bears have been sighted here and have<br />

become more brazen over the past three years.<br />

For Bayview’s Joyce Prestesater, an avid bird lover<br />

who has lived here for 20 years, her bear problems have<br />

escalated in three years to the point that she was greeted<br />

by a full-size black bear just below her deck at 9:30 a.m.<br />

on Friday, July 1. The first bear visit was three years ago<br />

when one morning she discovered the birdfeeder hung<br />

high in a tree had vanished. Finding bear claws in the tree<br />

trunk, she realized a bear had climbed up and carried the<br />

feeder off into the nearby woods.<br />

Undaunted and inventive Joyce changed the feeder location<br />

to hang off the end of the deck. Securing it with<br />

brackets with the hanger inserted into a half-inch steel<br />

pipe, the hanger now was eight feet off the ground. Then<br />

one night she heard a noise and knew the feeder was<br />

being attacked. The next morning the hanging apparatus<br />

was pulled down and was 30 feet down the slope. At that<br />

point, she began putting the feeders away every night.<br />

But on Thursday, June 30 she dutifully put out the feeder<br />

at 7:00 a.m. and when she looked out her window a<br />

couple hours later, a big black bear was at the feeder.<br />

He had torn the bottom out, spilled the sunflower seeds<br />

on the ground and was feasting. Needless to say, in<br />

the interest of safety for everyone, this is the end of<br />

Joyce feeding the birds until the bears go into winter<br />

hibernation.<br />

Tall Ship Cruises Offered<br />

by Captain Jake Dragseth<br />

Take a nautical journey back in time aboard the tallship<br />

schooner Kia Ora. Imagine a time long ago when<br />

voyagers ventured through these Salish Seas. Sail among<br />

porpoises as a submarine passes by and eagles fly overhead<br />

above the masts. Whales often visit the Kia Ora<br />

while under sail. Eye to eye contact with a whale is a<br />

life-changing event. Crewmembers report they are often<br />

reminded aboard the ship, “We are still the newcomers to<br />

the great story of the Northwest.”<br />

Envision a<br />

line tugging<br />

at your hand<br />

attached to a<br />

sail reaching the<br />

sky. Feel your<br />

hair blowing<br />

in the wind<br />

and your hand<br />

on the ship’s<br />

wheel. Behold<br />

the power of<br />

the wind, live<br />

the adventure of<br />

skimming the<br />

thin line between<br />

sea and sky and<br />

feel the breeze<br />

on your cheeks<br />

just like Captain<br />

Vancouver.<br />

Cruise in the tall ship “Kia Ora.”<br />

Support Your Friday Market!<br />

by Sandy Schmidt, Friday Market Manager<br />

Remembering all the different items the Friday Market<br />

has for your pleasure is difficult; there are so many. Thus<br />

there were a couple of vendors that I failed to include last<br />

month. I want to make sure this month that you know<br />

that Jennie Watkins from Ananda Hills Farm is there with<br />

farm fresh eggs, and Shaffett’s Knife Sharpening is alive<br />

and well, ready to improve your slicing and cutting tools.<br />

There was an error in the caption for the photo last month.<br />

Ken from Ike’s Fish was pictured with Sandy Schmidt,<br />

not John Schmidt.<br />

I know we haven’t had the best weather this year. But the<br />

Friday Market has received a lot of support. Thanks to all<br />

who are attending. It’s really a fun place to be. Meet your<br />

friends for lunch. The brand new picnic tables are there<br />

for your enjoyment. It’s a huge improvement. Buy some<br />

of the delicious tacos or burritos, grab some fabulous<br />

brats, purchase one of the tasty desserts or do it all. Then<br />

chow down with your friends al fresco.<br />

We are located at the Village Center by the Recycle Bins<br />

every Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. For information,<br />

PLFR/Quilcene Training Pact Ends<br />

<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Fire and Rescue (PLFR) recently announced<br />

a temporary dissolution of a joint training agreement<br />

between the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> and Quilcene Fire Districts<br />

following the resignation of Quilcene Fire Chief Robert<br />

Low. <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Fire Chief Ed Wilkerson cited trainee<br />

safety and the prospect of potential liability as the reason<br />

for terminating the pact.<br />

Wilkerson and Low created the training program about<br />

a year ago. Approximately 15 people are involved in the<br />

program that allows firefighters to receive training before<br />

enrolling in the fire academy and becoming professional<br />

firefighters. The dissolution of the pact does not affect the<br />

cooperative aid agreement between Quilcene and <strong>Port</strong><br />

<strong>Ludlow</strong>. The training pact may resume when a new Fire<br />

Chief is hired in Quilcene.<br />

Artists’ League Meeting<br />

by Linda Karp, Contributing Writer<br />

The <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Artists’ League will celebrate summer<br />

with a picnic and special hands-on meeting on Reggie<br />

Kleweno’s front deck, Wednesday, August 17. Known<br />

for his exquisite sterling silver jewelry with natural gem<br />

stones, Reggie will conduct a ring-making class. League<br />

members will make their own custom ring under his tutelage.<br />

Prior sign-up is required and the sterling silver materials will<br />

be offered in a range of $40 to $80. Painters are welcome to<br />

bring their easels and take advantage of the beautiful views<br />

from the deck.<br />

Kleweno started with a B.S. degree in Geology from<br />

Washington State University (WSU) in 1958 and began a<br />

20-year hobby of collecting gem materials in the Western<br />

states and Southwestern deserts. With an abundance of raw<br />

material, he joined a club that offered classes in lapidary,<br />

silver-smithing principles, casting and jewelry fabrication.<br />

Marketing of his custom jewelry continued when his<br />

work schedules permitted until retirement from Aerospace<br />

Engineering and subsequent relocation to Washington.<br />

Once settled on the Olympic Peninsula, he set up his<br />

shop and became active in the <strong>Port</strong> Townsend Rock Club.<br />

There he taught stone cutting, shaping and polishing and<br />

beginning silversmithing. Kleweno began marketing his<br />

creations in earnest in 2002. His creations can be seen<br />

at the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Artists’ League Gallery and area<br />

markets including <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> on Fridays, Kingston<br />

on Saturdays and <strong>Port</strong> Gamble on Sundays. Other<br />

venues include: the <strong>Port</strong> Townsend Arts and Crafts<br />

Guild, bi-Annual shows and the Bainbridge Island’s<br />

Christmas in the Country Holiday each December.<br />

Custom designs are also available by contacting him at<br />

rkleweno@olympus.net.<br />

Members will meet in the parking lot of the Beach Club<br />

Wednesday, August 17, at 11:45 a.m., to carpool to<br />

Reggie’s house. Picnic makings will be furnished by the<br />

League. More information can be obtained by contacting<br />

President Wanda Mawhinney at 437-9081 or by e-mail at<br />

mawhinneyw_w@msn.com.<br />

First Wednesday Luncheon<br />

Don’t panic. The next luncheon isn’t until September. But<br />

do mark your calendar for Wednesday, September 7,<br />

which will be the first luncheon of the new season. More<br />

details will follow in the September Voice.<br />

The First Wednesday Committee wants to thank everyone<br />

who attended this past season. Everyone had a wonderful<br />

time and the Committee looks forward to seeing you<br />

again this coming year. Everyone was very generous. We<br />

raised $7,401 in cash donations and 3,921 pounds of food<br />

were collected for the Tri-Area Food Bank. The Food<br />

Bank appreciates all that we do for them.<br />

But while we are on vacation from the luncheons, the<br />

Food Bank is not on vacation from helping those in need.<br />

They need our help even in the summer. Their shelves<br />

need to be replenished. So do what you can by taking<br />

donations to either the Bay or Beach Club. Volunteers<br />

pick up these items on a regular basis and deliver them<br />

to the Food Bank. Or send a check made out to Tri-Area<br />

Food Bank to P.O. Box 124, <strong>Port</strong> Hadlock 98339.<br />

<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Village<br />

Council (PLVC) Report<br />

by Beverly Browne, Editor/Reporter<br />

Art Zoloth called the July 7 meeting of the PLVC to order<br />

at 3:00 p.m. in the Beach Club. Other Council members<br />

present were Dave Armitage, Ned Luce, Larry Nobles,<br />

Tony Simpson, Don Thompson, Pat Traci, Elizabeth Von<br />

Zonneveld and Zoloth. Absent were Jim Boyer, Laury<br />

Hunt, Pete Leenhouts, Shane Seaman and Tom Stone. A<br />

quorum was declared; the agenda was adopted as written.<br />

The minutes from the previous meeting were approved<br />

with amendments.<br />

Highlight: Guest Speakers<br />

Judi Morris, Jefferson County Treasurer, spoke and<br />

answered questions. She explained that she is essentially<br />

the bank for the County and sub-districts, including the<br />

<strong>Port</strong>, Library, Hospital and Fire Districts. She processes<br />

warrants, bills and collects taxes, and manages the debt,<br />

liquid funds and investments. She described details of<br />

the revenues received from timber harvests, both by<br />

Pope Resources and the Washington State Department<br />

of Natural Resources (DNR). Morris deferred to County<br />

Commissioner John Austin who confirmed that, if some of<br />

the DNR property in question reverts to Pope Resources,<br />

the Fire District and the County would lose revenue.<br />

In response to questions Morris confirmed that, according<br />

to Assessor Jack Westerman, some parts of <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />

would see substantial reductions in home value that<br />

would not be reflected in reduced property taxes.<br />

Melanie McGrory, M.D., lead professional at the new<br />

Jefferson Healthcare <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Clinic, described her<br />

background and goals. McGrory, a Chimacum resident,<br />

has been in private practice for 20 years. Originally with<br />

the <strong>Port</strong> Hadlock Clinic, she believes in a comprehensive<br />

approach to healthcare. She said she is excited about the<br />

opportunity to open a clinic in <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong>, which has<br />

long needed one. The clinic will provide both urgent and<br />

primary care along with visits from specialists. It will<br />

provide blood draws, x-rays and other tests that may be<br />

sent to other labs for interpretation. The Clinic will have<br />

standard 20-, 40-, and 60-minute appointments and accept<br />

all kinds of insurance. She expects to outgrow the current<br />

facility in 2 to 3 years.<br />

Dr. McGrory introduced members of her professional<br />

staff, all board certified. She announced that the grand<br />

opening of the new Clinic at the corner of Oak Bay and<br />

Paradise Bay Roads on July 8.<br />

Trails Report<br />

by Larry Scott, Chair, <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Trails Committee<br />

“What have you done for me lately?” Isn’t that a common<br />

refrain? “Yes, yes, you’ve done some good things in the<br />

past, but what have you done for me lately?” Well, let<br />

us turn that around a little bit and ask, “What have you<br />

done for your community lately?” If you have to ponder<br />

your answer, “Trails” has a solution. Come on out for a<br />

“Fun Day” of activity, exercise, camaraderie and sense of<br />

accomplishment.<br />

A “Fun Day” is typically only two hours at a time, typically<br />

on a Saturday, so if you’re not one of the many<br />

retirees living in <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong>, there’s still a spot for you<br />

on the Saturday roster. If you are one of the many retirees,<br />

every day is Saturday. So, get on the e-mail listing for<br />

announcements about what “Trails” will be doing and find<br />

a couple of hours to answer the question, “What have you<br />

done for me lately?”<br />

What has “Trails” done lately? Weed whacked and mowed<br />

the existing trails for maintenance, added two new benches<br />

on Timberton Loop Overlook and Interpretive Trail<br />

Entrance, re-chipped the Interpretive Entrance, identified<br />

and flagged three new trails. The Committee continues<br />

to discuss other additional trails to improve the least<br />

expensive of the three top amenities of our community—<br />

with the Golf Course and Marina the other two.<br />

From the new bench on the Timberton Loop Overlook,<br />

you can see the Hood Canal, and on a clear day, Mount<br />

Rainier. If you look from there to the right, you’ll see a<br />

panorama of the Olympic Range. This is the fun stuff we<br />

get to do, so come on out and get on the announcement<br />

roster. Call 437-9299 or go to mclgscott@cablespeed.com.<br />

LMC June Board Meeting Highlights<br />

by Vaughn Bradshaw, LMC Secretary<br />

The monthly business meeting of the <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />

Maintenance Commission (LMC) Board of Trustees was<br />

held Thursday, June 23 at the Bay View Room of the<br />

Beach Club. The following are highlights of that meeting:<br />

• The LMC has hired Kathy Neill as a part-time bookkeeper.<br />

She will be working approximately eight hours<br />

per month preparing payroll, paying bills and making<br />

bank deposits. General Manager Brian Belmont has<br />

been performing all bookkeeping duties so this will<br />

leverage his time and provide back-up capability.<br />

• The LMC’s five-year copier lease expired in June. The<br />

replacement copier now being leased has color copying<br />

capability. Black and white copies are still 10 cents per<br />

page. Color copies are 50 cents per page and scans to a<br />

PDF file are 5 cents per scan.<br />

• The built-in green couch has been removed from the<br />

Bay View Room. The cushioning had seriously deteriorated<br />

and the decision was made to save money and not<br />

replace it. The additional space made available will<br />

provide a bit more elbow room for dining and other<br />

events.<br />

• The Board formally adopted its 2011-2012 goal to<br />

establish a Strategic Long-Range Plan for the management<br />

of the LMC assets by March 2012, and present<br />

it to the membership at the 2012 Annual Members<br />

Meeting.<br />

• A stormwater infiltration/dispersal trench easement<br />

across the LMC greenbelt was approved for Grace<br />

Christian Church at the corner of Oak Bay Road and<br />

Osprey Drive after corrections were made in accordance<br />

with comments made by LMC’s attorney. Grace<br />

Christian Church paid for the attorney’s review.<br />

• The Board elected Elizabeth Van Zonneveld as interim<br />

Treasurer in the absence of Treasurer Sharron Sherfick.<br />

The next business meetings of the LMC Board of Trustees<br />

are scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 28 and<br />

Thursday, August 25.<br />

Catch the Spirit<br />

by Teddy Clark, LMC President<br />

All LMC members are welcome.<br />

q<br />

Its official, the <strong>Ludlow</strong> Maintenance Commission (LMC)<br />

Outdoor Pool Grand Opening Celebration was a great<br />

event in June. Over 90 members from our community<br />

association attended the event. The outdoor pool is a<br />

centerpiece at the Beach Club in the summer. Members<br />

attending the event, as well as those who use the outdoor<br />

pool, come in all ages and abilities. Several members<br />

have noticed the addition of a second handrail at the pool<br />

entry steps. The double handrails make entry to the pool<br />

easier and safer for all swimmers. Many members enjoy<br />

sitting around the pool or in the shade on the breezeway<br />

above the pool. It is a great time to visit with friends and<br />

neighbors.<br />

How fortunate we are to have access to the beach<br />

from the Beach Club. It is quite amazing to think that<br />

early settlers in <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> walked the same beach<br />

and enjoyed the same vistas that we still enjoy today.<br />

This summer, plan to attend the concerts by the beach.<br />

They are always special events planned by Lot Owners<br />

Association (LOA). Also remember the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />

Festival By The Bay on the last weekend of July.<br />

Kehele Park in the summer is attended by a delightful<br />

blend of members of all ages. As a grandparent, I enjoy<br />

taking my young grandson to the park. With his love<br />

of the playground equipment, I catch the spirit and feel<br />

young again myself. It is easy to meet and greet other<br />

people at the park and the sounds in the park are the<br />

continued on next page


<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Voice Page 25<br />

Spirit continued from previous page<br />

sounds of summer. The rhythm of tennis and pickle balls,<br />

a basketball bouncing, people playing with their dogs,<br />

the delightful sounds of children and adults laughing<br />

and at play. Neighbors and families meet for picnics in<br />

Kehele Park. It is an amazing asset that belongs to all the<br />

members of our association. When you are at the park,<br />

take time to read the back of the Kehele Park sign. It will<br />

give you yet another interesting glimpse into our <strong>Port</strong><br />

<strong>Ludlow</strong> history.<br />

All these wonderful assets such as our waterfront Beach<br />

Club and Kehele Park add to our enjoyment as residents<br />

as well as adding to our property values. Our LMC<br />

community association fortunately has an excellent<br />

General Manager and dedicated staff to oversee and maintain<br />

our shared assets.<br />

In addition, we have a core of 50 plus volunteers<br />

working on our six standing committees and our Board<br />

of Trustees. Each of these Committees meets at least<br />

once or twice a month to work on issues that benefit our<br />

community association. These people are a friendly, lively<br />

and hard working group. Although they each take their<br />

volunteer work quite seriously, they remember to have<br />

fun while working with other members.<br />

Join your neighbors on a Committee. When you are<br />

enjoying the summer fun at the Beach Club, check the<br />

bulletin board for Committee Chair names and meeting<br />

times, or ask our cheerful hostesses about various<br />

Committees and who to contact. Join your friends and<br />

neighbors at the Beach Club, at Kehele Park and in the<br />

work of our LMC.<br />

A strong and vibrant community association adds to our<br />

members’ sense of happiness and well being, as well<br />

as adding to our individual and shared property values.<br />

Catch the spirit!<br />

Manager’s Report<br />

by Brian Belmont, General Manager<br />

It’s finally feeling like summer in <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong>. Mother<br />

Nature seems to have a way of making up for bad<br />

weather. I want to believe that we are going to have a<br />

beautiful August and September as a reward for enduring<br />

a cold and wet spring.<br />

The recently renovated outdoor pool has been a huge<br />

success! We’ve been getting lots of positive feedback<br />

regarding the repairs. If you are a <strong>Ludlow</strong> Maintenance<br />

Commission (LMC) member please come down and try<br />

out the outdoor pool—I’m sure you’ll be very pleased<br />

with the sparkling fresh look.<br />

LMC operates two RV storage lots between Talbot Way<br />

and Rainier Lane. Over the years the trees that grow<br />

along the perimeter of the storage lots have matured and<br />

become problematic. Between the Talbot storage lot and<br />

Ames Lane is a strip of wooded Greenbelt property that<br />

has a thicket of alder trees near the fence of the storage<br />

area. The alders are mature and when they break or blow<br />

down, as alders are prone to do, they are within striking<br />

distance of the RV fence and the stored equipment inside.<br />

The fence has been hit numerous times by falling alders.<br />

I have been working with the LMC Greenbelt Committee<br />

(GBC) to get their authorization to have some of these<br />

alders cut down. The adjacent property owners will have<br />

received a letter in July from the GBC advising them of<br />

their opportunity to comment on the proposed project.<br />

Between the Talbot RV storage lot and Ames Lane, 156<br />

trees are marked with red tape and numbers. I would<br />

estimate that more than 95 percent of the marked trees<br />

are alders with diameters ranging from 4 to 18 inches<br />

at breast height; most are 6 inches or less in diameter.<br />

Included with the alders are a few cedar and fir trees that<br />

are growing close to the RV fence whose limbs are either<br />

overhanging or growing through the fence.<br />

The removal of the alders is the first stage of cleaning up<br />

around the storage lot perimeter. In other areas problem<br />

evergreen trees are within five feet of the fence line so<br />

their branches are either growing through the fence or<br />

are overhanging the fence. The overhanging limbs drip<br />

pitch on the stored equipment. In some cases, limbing<br />

of the evergreen trees is all that is needed but in others<br />

it will be more cost effective over the long-term to have<br />

the tree removed. Prior to starting subsequent stages of<br />

the cleanup surrounding property owners will be kept<br />

apprised of any requested tree removals.<br />

LMC will work closely with <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Drainage<br />

District (PLDD) to ensure that our work doesn’t create<br />

problems for our downhill members with increased water<br />

run-off and with members with units stored in the lot to<br />

be sure they have access to their equipment.<br />

North Bay Clean Sweep<br />

Summer is finally here! What better time to do your clean<br />

sweep route than while walking through your neighborhood<br />

on a warm summer evening. The Summer Clean<br />

Sweep is scheduled for the week of Monday, August 8<br />

to Sunday, August 14. Please try to complete your routes<br />

during this week.<br />

Clean Sweep is a dedicated Lot Owners Association<br />

work done. Individuals, family groups and local businesses<br />

take responsibility for picking up the roadside litter<br />

along a few blocks of the neighborhood. Members are<br />

reminded quarterly by e-mail and through the Voice that<br />

another sweep is due.<br />

The Committee is in need of volunteers to step up and<br />

take responsibility for one of the Clean Sweep routes.<br />

We also like to maintain a substitute list. Occasionally<br />

Committee members are gone for an extended period of<br />

time and would like someone to temporarily take over<br />

their route. If you would like to lend a hand, please let<br />

Jerry or Diane Purdy know at 437-1262. We encourage<br />

all community members to help keep our neighborhoods<br />

beautiful by picking up trash seen along our roadways<br />

between scheduled sweeps. School-age residents are<br />

encouraged to get involved in their community by picking<br />

up along the streets in their neighborhoods as well.<br />

South Bay Community Association<br />

by Janet Force, South Bay Editor<br />

South Bay Community Association (SBCA) President<br />

Dave Armitage called the monthly Board meeting to order<br />

on Friday, July 1, at 9:30 a.m. Present were Directors<br />

Richard Grieves, Howard Koester, Steve Shanklin and<br />

Christine Whitehurst.<br />

Mike Morgan and Linda Colasurdo of the Bay Club<br />

Staff, Recording Secretary Mea Graham, and five SBCA<br />

members were also in attendance.<br />

Following the determination of a quorum, it was moved,<br />

seconded, and passed (MSP) to approve the agenda. Then<br />

it was MSP to approve the June 3, 2011 meeting minutes,<br />

as amended.<br />

Secretary-Treasurer Chris Whitehurst reported the financial<br />

highlights for May, showing the Total Current Assets<br />

for the month to be $315,771.99, Total Assets to be<br />

$632,187.98. This is an increase of $11,271.88 over last<br />

year’s Total Assets. The Income Statement for May 2011<br />

showed total revenues of $8,777.71 and Total Operating<br />

Expenses of $32,692.52 with a Net Operating Surplus of<br />

$28,012.82 for the 2011 fiscal year. (Note the surplus is<br />

always high the first month of the quarter due to the majority<br />

of dues being paid during that month, while expenses are<br />

very consistent month to month). The Maintenance reserve is<br />

$197,446.06 and the Renovation Fund is $54,039.36. It was<br />

MSP to approve the May financials.<br />

Two further items of business were completed: MSP that<br />

the Gazebo roof be replaced with composite shingles.<br />

Session to discuss personnel matters. No motions were made.<br />

The Next regular Board meeting will be held on Friday,<br />

August 5, at 9:30 a.m.<br />

Message From the President<br />

by Dave Armitage<br />

Once again a new South Bay Community Association<br />

(SBCA) Board takes over. During this past year I have<br />

encouraged you to become involved with your community<br />

and I hope you have.<br />

I listened to a study the other day, reported on National<br />

Public Radio (NPR). The researcher contacted people in<br />

disaster areas to identify the largest contributor to their<br />

initial survival. One might expect it to be governmental<br />

agencies or large charitable organizations, but that was<br />

not the case. People attributed their initial survival to their<br />

neighbors and community. It was people helping each<br />

other that made the difference. Organized help was days<br />

in coming.<br />

It is important that we all become involved with our<br />

neighborhoods and our community, not only to form a<br />

better place to live but also to have a place to turn to when<br />

help is needed.<br />

It has been a pleasure serving as your President this year,<br />

and I wish you all well.<br />

Free Spirits Celebrate<br />

Independence<br />

The Free Spirits annual Independence Day celebration on<br />

July 4 saw 170 “party goers” gathered at the Bay Club. The<br />

decorations were ready, the food and beverage prepared<br />

and the weather absolutely perfect. Grandparents, parents<br />

and grandchildren enjoyed lawn games, face painting,<br />

eating, drinking, talking and singing!<br />

Activities began with homemade dips, loads of chips and<br />

a hosted bar all served up by Dan Holtz and his gentleman<br />

bartenders. Betty Harmon and Linda Holmstrom painted<br />

the faces of those interested in doing so, and as it turned<br />

out the adults were more interested than the children!<br />

Traditional picnic fare prepared by Free Spirits volunteers,<br />

was served with ice cream for dessert. A program<br />

of patriotic music performed by Vince Pace and a history<br />

narration by Sherry Robinson followed dinner. Natalie<br />

Wilkinson, Bob and Connie Wilkinson’s granddaughter,<br />

sang our national anthem. What a wonderful treat to have<br />

this young lady sing for us.<br />

The Free Spirits Board thanks all who participated to<br />

make this a great day and looks forward to seeing all of<br />

you at its next event, Saturday October 29, to celebrate<br />

Halloween with Free Spirits.<br />

New Year’s Eve Party Cancelled<br />

Due to lack of interest, the party for New Year’s Eve at<br />

the Bay Club has been cancelled.<br />

Reminder to dog<br />

owners: So that we can<br />

all enjoy walking our<br />

trails and roadways,<br />

please carry a plastic<br />

bag and clean up after<br />

Let’s Have a Picnic!<br />

by Bev Rothenborg, Arts and Entertainment Editor<br />

“The color and charm of the countryside can make the<br />

most modest meal superb. Have a picnic at the slightest<br />

excuse.” James Beard<br />

And I couldn’t agree more! The Olympic Music Festival<br />

(OMF) grounds and gardens are lovely, the musicians<br />

are ensconced in those cozy cottages and heavenly music<br />

is emanating from the Barn every weekend. Join your<br />

friends and neighbors for what has become a summertime<br />

tradition.<br />

This year’s <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Day at the Barn is scheduled<br />

for Saturday, August 13, when we’ll hear music by<br />

Beethoven, Poulenc and Schumann performed by some of<br />

our favorite musicians. Go online at www.olympicmusicfestival.org<br />

to see the complete program.<br />

The Festival in Quilcene is a 15-minute drive from <strong>Port</strong><br />

<strong>Ludlow</strong>. We’ll gather around noon at our reserved tables<br />

under the trees by the little salmon brook. We’ll select our<br />

seats in the 127-year old barn. Your choices are comfortable<br />

padded pews or a cozy hay bale either on the main<br />

floor or in the loft. Reserved seating for those needing<br />

special assistance is available. Of course, you may choose<br />

to listen to the music outdoors while seated on the lawn as<br />

the concert is broadcast over loudspeakers.<br />

Bring enough picnic fare to serve yourself and your<br />

guests, and some to share. Bring lawn chairs or blankets<br />

for extra seating and don’t forget dishes and utensils.<br />

We will enjoy a discounted group rate of $25 per ticket.<br />

To take advantage of this, make your check payable to<br />

the Olympic Music Festival for the number of tickets<br />

you wish to purchase. Leave your check at the Bay Club,<br />

attention Bev Rothenborg, or mail to me at 20A North<br />

Keel Way, <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> 98365 before the end of July. I<br />

will distribute tickets on the day of the performance or in<br />

advance if that is your preference.<br />

Lawn seating tickets are $20/adults; $14 for youth; children<br />

7 and under are admitted free to the lawn. No reservations<br />

are required for lawn tickets which are purchased on site. If<br />

you are using your Flex Pass, please make your own reservations<br />

by calling 732-4800 and join us for the picnic.<br />

I’ve been to the concerts several times this summer, and<br />

the music just keeps getting better and better. Please join<br />

us for a wonderful day of friends, food, music and fun!<br />

IL VOCE Raises Concert Season<br />

to a New Level of Elegance<br />

by Barbara Wagner-Jauregg, Contributing Writer<br />

While they dream of performing at La Scala or the<br />

Metropolitan Opera, the youthful members of IL VOCE<br />

are making the Performing Arts in <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> series a<br />

part of their 2011-2012 touring schedule while continuing<br />

a career sure to take them to great heights. On Saturday,<br />

September 24, the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Arts Council invites you<br />

to an elegant celebration launching its 20th anniversary<br />

season of presenting entertainment to our community and<br />

Olympic Peninsula neighbors.<br />

As you arrive at 7:00 p.m. tuxedo-clad gentlemen will<br />

greet you on the red carpet as you arrive at the Bay Club<br />

for a gala evening. Dress up if you’d like to add to the<br />

celebratory atmosphere. Soon you’ll be holding a glass<br />

of bubbly, sharing summer memories and fall plans with<br />

friends and neighbors and enjoying artwork by Artists’<br />

League member Elizabeth Harmon.<br />

IL VOCE takes the stage at 8:00 p.m. with an amazing<br />

sound that is created by combining four magical voices<br />

complimented by their beautiful and distinctive looks.<br />

This classically trained foursome from Vancouver, British<br />

Columbia includes soprano Tiffany Desrosiers, tenor<br />

Marc Devigne, coloratura soprano Melody Mercredi and<br />

baritone Darrell Joseph (DJ) Calhoun. Each member of<br />

IL VOCE has a background in opera, Broadway musicals<br />

and the classics. Putting a fresh face on the global<br />

Il VOCE continued from previous page<br />

phenomenon of “classical crossover,” and being one of<br />

only a few groups with both female and male singers,<br />

they bring passion and virtuosity to their unique interpretations<br />

of romantic, classical, opera and pop favorites.<br />

Wanting to form a crossover group, John Dexter, founder<br />

of a Canadian recording group, invited them to come<br />

together. While DJ and Melody knew each other from<br />

Vancouver Opera and had performed opera extensively in<br />

British Columbia, Marc and Tiffany were both flourishing<br />

in the pop/crossover style and communicated on MySpace<br />

to discuss singing together. From the very first rehearsal,<br />

the four fell in love with each other’s voices and knew it<br />

was going to be amazing.<br />

Melody Mercredi has appeared in Vancouver and abroad.<br />

In May of 2010 she performed the role of Barbarina<br />

in Vancouver Opera’s production of The Marriage of<br />

Figaro. She’s known throughout the province for her<br />

roles of Papagena and Queen of the Night in The Magic<br />

Flute. Solo works include an appearance with the Toronto<br />

Symphony Orchestra. Her pure classical voice brings<br />

true talent and beauty to any stage she graces—including<br />

CBC-TV and a live performance for CBC Radio.<br />

DJ Calhoun is a passionate artist committed to his love of<br />

opera, art song and musical theater. He recently was seen<br />

in the role of Feuilly in the Arts Club production of Les<br />

Miserables and also works regularly with Vancouver Opera.<br />

His notable operatic credits include roles in Offenbach’s<br />

Orpheus in the Underworld, Lehar’s The Merry Widow,<br />

Strauss’ Die Fledermaus and Puccini’s La Boheme.<br />

Tiffany Desrosiers’ unique ability to sing both classical<br />

and pop styles has led to performance opportunities<br />

including the 2010 Olympics, 2010 BC Summer Games,<br />

CTV Canada AM and Global TV Christmas Show. A<br />

recent graduate from the University of British Columbia<br />

Bachelor of Music program, she won the BC Provincials<br />

in Intermediate, Senior and National classical voice<br />

on three separate occasions, and she later went on to<br />

represent British Columbia in the Nationals.<br />

Classically trained Marc Devigne has a list of credits for<br />

both singing and acting and has acquired a number of<br />

leading roles in both film and theater including his most<br />

celebrated performances in Beauty and the Beast, West<br />

Side Story, The King & I, Strike! and The Full Monty.<br />

Considered one of Canada’s emerging talents, he was a<br />

top 12 finalist on the first season of Canadian Idol.<br />

Be sure you have tickets for this special musical event,<br />

Saturday, September 24. There still are a few season<br />

subscriptions available at $140, which equates to $20<br />

per concert as opposed to $24 for individual tickets.<br />

Subscribers enjoy preferred center-section seating and<br />

don’t have to worry about sold-out concerts. Another<br />

money-saving option is the Flex Pass at $132, which can<br />

be exchanged for six tickets to any concert in the series, as<br />

long as they are available—all for one, or used for several.<br />

Both packages as well as individual tickets for the IL<br />

VOCE concert can be purchased now at the Bay Club.<br />

To order individual tickets by credit card, go to www.<br />

brownpapertickets.com, which can be accessed by a link<br />

My daughter Katie has been in San Diego for the summer<br />

as an intern at San Diego Safari Park. She is coming<br />

home soon. Besides missing her parents, she really<br />

missed our neighborhood in Poulsbo. I was thinking that<br />

<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> was a lot like my neighborhood—a group<br />

of people coming together to support each other in many<br />

different ways. I feel very fortunate to be part of this<br />

community and often tell others that I cannot imagine<br />

being any place else.<br />

People Changes<br />

We have some new associates at <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Associates<br />

(PLA) who feel the same way. We are very excited to<br />

welcome Nathan LePlante as PLA Marketing Manager<br />

and Ryan Mowery as the Managing/Sales Broker at John<br />

L. Scott. We have made an offer for Controller position,<br />

too. What a great opportunity to have fresh eyes.<br />

Resort News<br />

by Debbie Wardrop, General Manager, The Resort At <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />

We are delighted to be recognized in two ways this month:<br />

The first is the culmination of the past several years of<br />

work by Paul Wolman and comes as a topping on the cake<br />

for his storied career. Paul’s passion for wine is legendary.<br />

The 2011 Restaurant Wine List Awards program has<br />

judged The Fireside as worthy of the Wine Spectator<br />

award for our wine program. The August 31 issue will<br />

feature the winners or go to www.WineSpectator.com for<br />

more information.<br />

Additionally, TripAdvisor has advised us that we have<br />

won a “2011 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence.” This<br />

is provided to properties that consistently receive excellent<br />

ratings from members over a period of time.<br />

Also, thought you would like to know of some “August<br />

Fun”—check these out:<br />

Tuesday-Thursday, August 23-25: The Acrobat Sailors<br />

will be at the Marina with shows at 5:00 and 7:00 p.m.<br />

nightly. The first show, “The Navigators,” inspired by<br />

Buster Keaton and silent films, is a parody of navigational<br />

maneuvers that pokes fun at the mishaps of maladroit<br />

navigators. The second one, “Between Wing and Island,”<br />

deals with male-female relationships in a spectacle of<br />

aerial choreography and acrobatics in a duet that ranges<br />

from love, humor and poetry to earth, sea and sky. The<br />

shows last about 20 minutes each and are appropriate for<br />

all ages. The events are free, donations accepted.<br />

Throughout the Summer Months: The Kia Ora, moored<br />

at the “B” dock, is available for charter. (See relatad<br />

article on page 16.) Go sailing with Jake and learn about<br />

the Puget Sound, sailing or just relax on the water. You<br />

need at least two people, and no more than 6, $100 per<br />

person for four hours. Stop by and see Jake or call him at<br />

360-774-6268. Recent cruises have seen the submarine<br />

heading out to sea and a pod of porpoise!<br />

If you haven’t been by to check out the summer menu yet,<br />

please stop by! The halibut is amazing and the Crab Louie<br />

delicious!<br />

Barbecue Night: Every Thursday night in August. Dinner<br />

includes meat/chicken, corn on the cob, potato salad for<br />

$19 with <strong>Port</strong> Townsend beer for $3. We will continue<br />

with the Sunday Burger Night and the Monday Fish Fry.<br />

Crab Bisque and Chowder are on the menu every day.

Mariners’ News<br />

Dock Talk<br />

by Kori Ward, Marina Manager<br />

Sailing Acrobats at <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Marina: On Tuesday,<br />

Wednesday and Thursday, August 23, 24 and 25,<br />

French sailors Delphine Lechifflart and her husband<br />

Franck Rabilier will perform high-wire circus acts from<br />

the rigging of their 40-foot sloop La Loupiote. Since<br />

beginning their cruise/performance in Brittany, France in<br />

2004, they’ve sailed thousands of miles and performed in<br />

hundreds of marinas from the Great Lakes to Martinique,<br />

to Panama and Mexico. There will be two 20-minute<br />

shows beginning promptly at 5:00 and 7:00 p.m. (See the<br />

story “Acrobatics Performed on a Sailboat” in Local News<br />

on page 12 for more details.) Both shows are suitable for<br />

all ages and are free, but the artist will pass the hat inviting<br />

the public to give donations to help them and their two<br />

children continue their adventure around the world.<br />

The current plan is to have the show just to the east of<br />

A-dock, a perfect view from the Fireside veranda. I<br />

recommend making dinner reservations early!<br />

The Purpose of a Dock Cart: This time of year dock carts<br />

are in very high demand. As many of you know, it is<br />

aggravating to arrive at the Marina with a load of goodies<br />

to haul to your vessel and find the dock cart area is empty.<br />

The Marina staff will hustle down the docks looking for<br />

stranded carts. Many of the carts are being used as storage<br />

units for the day, which is not the purpose of the dock<br />

cart. A dock cart should be used to haul your belongings<br />

to or from your car and to or from your vessel. We ask<br />

that you unload the cart and immediately return it to the<br />

west side of the Marina office.<br />

Store Happenings: The Marina store is featuring new and<br />

interesting gift ideas to please even the person who has<br />

everything. We now also have wonderful clothing in all the<br />

colors of the rainbow, t-shirts, sweatshirts, shorts, loungers,<br />

hats and more. Come in now while sizes are still available.<br />

USCG Auxiliary Flotilla 41<br />

U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Auxiliary Flotilla 41 has its<br />

roots in <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong>. Founders, past Commanders and<br />

most of its officers have been <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> residents;<br />

many are also <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Yacht Club (PLYC) members.<br />

The Flotilla has now grown to over 60 members including<br />

a few from the Flotilla’s detachment recently formed in<br />

Brinnon. Members are from all walks of life but share a<br />

common boating passion. Auxiliary members undergo<br />

much the same training as the Coast Guard albeit not so<br />

physically rigorous.<br />

The Auxiliary’s primary mission is to educate the public<br />

about boating safety. To this end members give classes<br />

including basic seamanship, use of charts and Global<br />

Positioning System (GPS) navigation. The Auxiliary<br />

can also inspect recreational vessels at the request of the<br />

owners who are provided with a free written report on the<br />

safety and legality of their vessel. The Auxiliary has no law<br />

enforcement authority; its sole interest is that you and your<br />

family are safe on the water. Vessels which pass inspection<br />

are issued a USCG AUX sticker and are looked upon<br />

favorably by insurance companies. They also are less likely<br />

to be boarded by the USCG. The Auxiliary also promotes<br />

safety and environmental awareness at local marinas.<br />

These Auxiliary efforts have helped the USCG focus<br />

more resources on its new role in illegal drug and immigrant<br />

interdiction and anti-terrorism operations. The<br />

Auxiliary’s role in helping the USCG as additional “eyes<br />

and ears on the water” will be covered in future monthly<br />

Flotilla news reports featured once again in the Voice.<br />

Anyone interested in joining the Auxiliary should come<br />

to one of its membership breakfasts held every Tuesday at<br />

9:00 a.m. at the Snug Harbor Café in <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong>. Guests<br />

are also welcome at monthly membership meetings, 7:00<br />

p.m., on the second Wednesday of each month at the <strong>Port</strong><br />

<strong>Ludlow</strong> Fire Station, or see us at the Festival By The Bay.<br />

MGA Announces Winners<br />

Congratulations to our three flight winners of the Men’s<br />

Panasuk, Garry Smith and Darrell Fett. This yearly<br />

tournament was a Match Play event played over several<br />

weeks and had several very close matches. Full results<br />

can be found on the MGA website: www.plmga.org.<br />

Rally for the Cure Results<br />

For the first time in memory, the sun did not shine on<br />

Rally for the Cure. Nevertheless, a field of 66 golfers,<br />

all dressed in pink, braved <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Golf Course<br />

to compete and to benefit a great cause, the Susan<br />

G. Komen effort to end breast cancer. The first place<br />

winners, with a team score of 80, were Linda Bloemeke,<br />

Shannon McCaslin, Sheila Schoen and Sharon Zablotney.<br />

Second place, with a score of 83, went to Grace Allen,<br />

Debi Bozanich, Kelly Macdonald and Debbie Wardrop.<br />

Third place, with a score of 84, were Bev Browne, Janet<br />

<strong>Ludlow</strong> Bay Massage and Wellness Spa, <strong>Port</strong> Gamble<br />

General Store Café, QFC in <strong>Port</strong> Hadlock, Quilted<br />

WGA Launches into August<br />

by Bonnie Vahcic, Captain<br />

It is hard to believe that August is already upon us. July<br />

flew by as we trudged around the Golf Course searching<br />

for the promise of summer sunshine. Our Captain’s Cup<br />

is down to the last match between Carol Katuzny and<br />

myself. We will be playing our final match soon and I will<br />

report the results in the next edition of the Voice.<br />

Our first Play Day Away was organized by Grace<br />

Allen and played at Whitehorse. While we heard that<br />

<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> was blanketed with rain, we had a great<br />

round with no precipitation—go figure. Sally Grything<br />

won handily in our game of fives. The Mr. and Mrs.<br />

Tournament followed right on the heels of the Play Day<br />

Away. This is a two-day event played as a partnership.<br />

The weather cooperated on the first day, but rained us out<br />

on the second round. Laura and Norm Shisler won this<br />

event with a 63 net score.<br />

Our Rally for the Cure tournament on Thursday, July 7<br />

was a wonderful success as usual. Although the nine holes<br />

of team competition had to be played in a constant misty<br />

drizzle, spirits were high and fun was had by all. A delicious<br />

luncheon and money-raising raffle followed at the<br />

Bay Club. See the accompanying article for details.<br />

We also hosted two major outside women’s golf events<br />

in July, the Pacific Northwest Golf Association (PNGA)<br />

Amateur and Mid-Amateur as well as the Washington State<br />

Public Links Championship. The results of these events<br />

will not be available until the next Voice publication.<br />

home on Tide beginning at 8:33 a.m. Thursday, August<br />

11 features the ever-exciting Cross Country by Laps;<br />

Mystery Golf is the game on Thursday, August 18. The<br />

Couples Shotgun on Sunday, August 21 at 3:00 p.m.<br />

has the ladies and gentlemen playing Four Person-Two<br />

Best Ball on Timber. The Shotgun is followed by dinner<br />

at the Beach Club. Remember to take your place setting<br />

and a libation. The final game of the month on Thursday,<br />

August 25 is an invitational shotgun on Timber. Check at<br />

the Golf Club for the start time. A continental breakfast<br />

starts the day, 8:00 a.m., at the Bay Club. A lunch will<br />

follow play at noon, also at the Bay Club.<br />

Jefferson Healthcare<br />

Receives Accreditation<br />

Jefferson Healthcare announces that it has achieved<br />

national accreditation from DNV Healthcare, the newest<br />

Medicare-approved hospital accreditation program.<br />

Unlike other accreditation programs, DNV integrates the<br />

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001<br />

quality management system with Medicare hospital standards<br />

that require the organization to evaluate the continuum of<br />

patient care throughout an entire healthcare system and take<br />

measured steps to improve when it is warranted.<br />

“The DNV program is more consistent with our long-term<br />

commitment to patient safety and continuous improvement,”<br />

says Mike Glenn, Jefferson Healthcare CEO. “The<br />

ability to integrate the ISO 9001 quality management<br />

system with our clinical and financial processes is a major<br />

step forward.”<br />

DNV hospital accreditation addresses the demands of<br />

quality-driven hospitals that are dedicated to patientcentered<br />

care. As part of the accreditation process, DNV<br />

surveyors track the care of patients across various departments<br />

and facilities of Jefferson Healthcare.<br />

“DNV is very thorough and helps us find opportunities<br />

throughout the organization to improve. We now look<br />

upon accreditation as a strategic business tool and a<br />

source of empowerment for our staff. The DNV program<br />

keeps us moving forward,” says Mike Glenn.<br />

The DNV accreditation program was authorized by the<br />

U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in<br />

2008 and is the only program that integrates the ISO<br />

quality management system with Medicare’s Conditions<br />

of Participation, the core requirements for hospitals set<br />

forth by the Federal government. Jefferson Healthcare<br />

will have three years to become compliant with the ISO<br />

9001:2008 standards in order to maintain its accreditation<br />

with DNV.<br />

Jefferson Healthcare is a public critical access hospital,<br />

serving east Jefferson County for over 35 years. Services<br />

include home health, family birth center, emergency<br />

department, sleep medicine, hospice, inpatient care,<br />

imaging services, surgical services, physical therapy,<br />

support groups and more.<br />

DNV Healthcare Inc. is based in Cincinnati, Ohio, and<br />

is a wholly owned subsidiary of Det Norske Veritas, a<br />

global independent foundation dedicated to safeguarding<br />

life, property and the environment. For more information<br />

JCHS Wins State Exhibit Award<br />

The Washington Museum Association awarded the<br />

Jefferson County Historical Society (JCHS) a 2011<br />

Award of Exhibit Excellence at its annual meeting held at<br />

Whitman College in Walla Walla. The award recognizes<br />

the high quality of innovation and creativity of “We Came<br />

With Dreams,” installed at the JCHS Museum in April.<br />

The exhibit, mounted in a permanent orientation gallery,<br />

explores the motivations that have inspired people to<br />

live in Jefferson County. It features dramatic video and<br />

historical images throughout the County. JCHS Exhibit<br />

Designer Becky Schurmann received the award. The<br />

video is available in the Museum Shop for those who<br />

might wish to purchase it.<br />

Vacation Bible School<br />

Community United Methodist Church in <strong>Port</strong> Hadlock<br />

invites children from area churches, grandchildren, neighbors<br />

and others to attend Vacation Bible School (VBS)<br />

to experience Camp E.D.G.E. (Experience, Discover<br />

God Everywhere). School dates are Monday through<br />

Wednesday, August 8 to 10.<br />

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. on Monday with VBS<br />

running from 9:00 a.m. until noon each day. There will be<br />

a pizza party on closing day. Children ages 4 through teens<br />

are eligible to attend. The cost is $5 for youth or a family.<br />

United Methodist Church is at 130 Church Lane in <strong>Port</strong><br />

Hadlock. The phone number is 385-1579. Facilitator<br />

Betty Harmon will answer questions at 437-7980.<br />

Here’s the Scoop!<br />

After a busy day of running errands in Poulsbo, stop by<br />

Central Market where the mobile freezer containing six<br />

flavors of Dreyer’s ice cream and a sherbet is back in<br />

business. Every year between Memorial Day and Labor<br />

Day, the freezer is trundled out and parked in front of the<br />

store to give us all a sweet treat!<br />

The server is there on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays<br />

from 11:30 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. The servings are generous<br />

and the prices are low—a cake cone with one scoop is $1,<br />

a double is $2. Waffle cones are $3 for a single and $4 for<br />

a double. And here’s the best deal if you have kids with<br />

you—kiddy cones are 50 cents.<br />

Editor’s Note: I have only tried a single, which was so large I can’t<br />

imagine a double wouldn’t just topple to the ground before I’m<br />

finished!

13th Annual Art <strong>Port</strong> Townsend<br />

“After Fall,” by Gary Faigin.<br />

Courtesy photo<br />

From Saturday, August 6 through Sunday, August<br />

28, the Northwind Arts Alliance and the <strong>Port</strong> Townsend<br />

Arts Commission will present the 13th Annual Art <strong>Port</strong><br />

Townsend Festival celebrating the visual arts. Gary<br />

Faigin, an art professional for over 30 years with notable<br />

accomplishments as a painter, educator, and art critic, is<br />

the juror. This year’s juried show, “Art <strong>Port</strong> Townsend:<br />

Expressions Northwest,” will be displayed at Northwind<br />

Arts Center, 2409 Jefferson Street in <strong>Port</strong> Townsend.<br />

Northwind is open noon to 5:00 p.m., Thursday through<br />

Monday, closed Tuesday and Wednesday.<br />

On Saturday, August 6, 1:00 p.m., at Northwind, show<br />

juror Gary Faigin will discuss the process of art selection.<br />

His 1991 book, The Artist’s Complete Guide to Facial<br />

Expression, is a recognized classic in its field. In 1989,<br />

he co-founded, with architect Pamela Belyea, the Gage<br />

Academy of Art. There is no charge for his lecture.<br />

As a part of the Art <strong>Port</strong> Townsend Festival, an Artist<br />

Studio Tour will be Saturday and Sunday, August 27<br />

and 28, 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. It will feature 35 studios<br />

in the greater <strong>Port</strong> Townsend area. Professional artists<br />

working in oils, watercolors, acrylics, pastels, printmaking,<br />

sculpture, foundry pours and a variety of mixed<br />

media will open their studios for demonstrations and<br />

displays of their work. Art studio listings and maps will<br />

be available at the Northwind, as well as at the Visitor<br />

Center and online at www.artporttownsend.org. There is<br />

no charge for the tour.<br />

This year’s Festival also celebrates the way written word<br />

relates to art. Surrounded by the juried Art <strong>Port</strong> Townsend<br />

exhibit, writers are invited to respond to individual works<br />

in the show or to the show as a whole. On Thursday,<br />

August 25, 7:00 p.m., at Northwind, writers will read<br />

their written responses to the juried show. Listeners are<br />

welcome and there is no charge for the event.<br />

Northwind Arts Alliance is a non-profit community center<br />

for the arts run with the help of over 100 volunteers and<br />

donations.<br />

Chamber Luncheon Speakers<br />

Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce weekly<br />

luncheon meetings generally last only an hour and feature<br />

speakers from a variety of fields. The August lineup:<br />

Monday, August 1: Sascha Archer, <strong>Port</strong> Townsend High<br />

School graduate, provided one-on-one and group art<br />

therapy to children in two township schools, at a boys’<br />

halfway house, to Mothers who are HIV+, and also in<br />

the Burn Unit of the Red Cross Children’s Hospital in<br />

South Africa. Although all her clients touched her tremendously,<br />

Sascha’s most notable and life-altering work as<br />

an art therapist was with a 12-year-old, orphaned, double<br />

arm amputee. Sascha shares a heartwarming 26-minute<br />

documentary about this heroic young man and the power<br />

of work abroad.<br />

Monday, August 8: Elizabeth Scott, Labor Market<br />

how “buy local” campaigns are gaining popularity.<br />

Monday, August 15: Jan Teague, President/CEO,<br />

Washington Retail Association. She will cover a broad<br />

array of issues being discussed in the State of Washington<br />

by the Legislature and State agencies. What is on the<br />

Cruising Hood Canal<br />

Expeditions NW announces a Hood Canal Cruise on<br />

Sunday through Tuesday, August 28 to 30. For many<br />

people, this cruise will provide a unique opportunity to<br />

see local sights from a different perspective, a view of<br />

Hood Canal that many have never seen before.<br />

The expedition begins on the night of Sunday, August<br />

28, with a stay at The Resort At <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong>, followed<br />

on Monday, August 29, at 9:15 a.m., with a four-hour<br />

journey down Hood Canal to Alderbrook Resort and Spa,<br />

where you will spend the night.<br />

After traveling through the Hood Canal Bridge, cruisers<br />

will enjoy the 50-mile glacier-carved fjord surrounded by<br />

beautiful mountains and forestlands. Hood Canal is one of<br />

only two fjords in the Continental U.S. and separates the<br />

Kitsap from the Olympic Peninsula. The Navy Sub Base<br />

Bangor Annex is located on the eastern shore of Hood<br />

Canal. The Canal has several internal bays, the largest of<br />

which is Dabob Bay.<br />

The cruise sails past rivers flowing into the canal, mostly<br />

from the Olympic Peninsula, including the Skokomish,<br />

Hamma Hamma, Duckabush, Dosewallips and Big<br />

Quilcene. Rich in history and culture, the Canal has an<br />

amazing combination of nature’s most extraordinary<br />

selections of flora and fauna—and is home to a wide<br />

range of wildlife including Roosevelt elk, fox, bald<br />

eagles, pileated woodpecker, marbled murrelet, pygmy<br />

owl, great blue heron and purple martin, to name a few.<br />

You’ll enjoy a barbecue with the crew in one of the many<br />

scenic spots along the canal.<br />

The boat returns to <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> the afternoon of<br />

Tuesday, August 30 with lunch provided. Total cost<br />

for the package is $898, based on double occupancy. It<br />

includes two four-hour cruises on the Canal, a one-night<br />

stay at The Inn At <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> with a $40 meal voucher<br />

per person, a one-night stay at Alderbrook Resort with a<br />

$40 meal voucher, the Day 2 barbecue and Day 3 lunch.<br />

Expeditions NW requires a minimum of 50 passengers<br />

or the cruise may be rescheduled. Both The Resort At<br />

<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> and Alderbrook Resort offer many activities<br />

including golfing, hiking, kayaking, relaxing, luxury<br />

lodging and outstanding food.<br />

Cunliffe Photos Exhibited<br />

The Gateway Visitor Center is presenting an exhibit<br />

featuring Stephen Cunliffe’s beautiful photographs of<br />

avian life and the Olympic Peninsula. He won the 2009<br />

Canon Cameras in the Parks contest with his photograph<br />

of an Avocet beak to beak with his own reflection.<br />

Cunliffe’s bird and landscape shots capture the spirit of<br />

our Peninsula and western Washington. The Gateway<br />

Visitor Center will display these eclectic works through<br />

the month of August, so stop by for a look.<br />

If you would like to be an ambassador for our historic<br />

County and provide support to our local communities, the<br />

Olympic Peninsula Gateway Visitor Center is looking for<br />

volunteers again this year to keep our Center open to the<br />

public. Our volunteers provide local expertise that travelers<br />

really need and appreciate on a daily basis. We greet<br />

people from around the world, year round, and make them<br />

feel at home here on our beautiful Olympic Peninsula. If<br />

you think you have been around Jefferson County long<br />

enough to feel local, we need you! Stop by, e-mail gatewayvcr@olympus.net<br />

New Shine Pit Access Road<br />

Washington State Department of Transportation<br />

(WSDOT) is supervising construction of a new access<br />

road connecting Shine Pit with State Route 104 at milepost<br />

8 just east of the highway’s intersection with SR 19,<br />

Beaver Valley Road. The new road is required for access<br />

and egress from the former Shine Pit. No traffic impacts<br />

are expected with this stage of work, according to the<br />

WSDOT, but delays are expected as the project advances.<br />

The road project adds a westbound left-turn lane, a westbound<br />

acceleration lane and an eastbound right-turn lane.<br />

The schedule calls for the construction site to be cleared<br />

the third week in July, between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.<br />

Miles Sand and Gravel, which in 2010 bought out the<br />

Fred Hill Materials Inc. gravel facility in Shine, needs a<br />

new access road onto SR 104 west of its existing access<br />

road in part because the quarry operation is moving<br />

farther west. A WSDOT official said the agency made a<br />

mistake granting the original Shine Pit access on SR 104<br />

some 20 years ago. This project corrects that mistake.<br />

Wild, Wacky…Sometimes Wet<br />

The Naval Undersea Museum in Keyport runs a drop-in<br />

program on Wednesdays in August, between 10:00 a.m.<br />

and 2:00 p.m. It gets wild, wacky and sometimes wet!<br />

Topics change weekly and include fish prints, famous<br />

submersibles, deep-sea diving, deep-sea vents, Navy<br />

uniform heritage, locomotion in the ocean and sinking<br />

and floating.<br />

Each session includes a hands-on activity or make and<br />

take craft project, face painting, water tables and sidewalk<br />

chalk. There will also be films and the undersea story<br />

lady! Boots the Diver will be available. Look through the<br />

periscope to find your car and try on Navy uniforms.<br />

There is no admission charge, so take the whole family.<br />

The Naval Undersea Museum is the official U.S. Navy<br />

Museum about undersea history and science. It is closed<br />

on Tuesdays and major holidays. From Highway 3, take<br />

the Keyport exit onto Highway 308. Turn left at the stop<br />

sign and follow the signs to the museum. You may call<br />

360-396-5547 with questions.<br />
