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 />

unique clothing items, accessories like hats and jewelry<br />
and some artwork, all locally created. In back there is a<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 />

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 />

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 />
Stamp and Paper Arts<br />
The Stamp and Paper Arts Group will not meet in August.<br />
Meetings will resume on Wednesday, September 21,<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 />
(LOA) Committee that never holds meetings, yet gets the<br />

<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Voice Page 26<br />
Clean Sweep continued from previous page<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 />

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 />
Last, MSP to donate $275 to help support the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
Festival By The Bay.<br />
The regular meeting adjourned at 10:48 a.m. to Executive<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 />

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 />

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 />

too. What a great opportunity to have fresh eyes.<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 />

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 />

the Golf Course to aid their scores; the team buying the<br />
most re-do shots spent $104.<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 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 />

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 />

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 />
or call us at 437-0120.<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 />
