Feature Articles<br />

From the Editor’s Keyboard<br />

by Beverly Browne, Managing Editor<br />

As inclement winter weather<br />

recedes and sunny days become<br />

more frequent, thoughts turn to<br />

possibilities. At this happy time,<br />

we are particularly pleased to<br />

announce that secret negotiations<br />

between the LMC and the<br />

SBCA took place this last month.<br />

The result was the beginning of a<br />

plan to extend joint membership<br />

to residents, putting an end to the despised non-member<br />

fee, simplifying the rental policies and moving us toward<br />

one Port Ludlow. According to Manager Brian Belmont,<br />

details are yet to be finalized. This editor commends the<br />

groups on their fine work.<br />

With booming condominium pre-sales, Port Ludlow<br />

Associates (PLA) plans for the Marina development have<br />

taken a quantum leap forward. Construction will begin in<br />

spring. The development includes a new and expanded<br />

Marina Store, an informal restaurant (replacing the<br />

Harbormaster), a boardwalk and a new Yacht Club facility.<br />

Construction of office space and remodel of the existing<br />

Conference Center will commence later in the year.<br />

In a surprise announcement, the Village Market will<br />

undergo remodel and expansion to provide space for fresh<br />

produce and bulk food. The emphasis in the market will<br />

be on local, organic food products. The Garden Club will<br />

participate in the beautification of the center by replanting<br />

the flower beds and attending to hanging baskets. Planned<br />

additional retail includes a pharmacy and a sportswear/gift<br />

shop. Negotiations are taking place regarding a time share<br />

near the present Kitsap Bank. An adjacent park area will<br />

encircle the current native plant garden to encourage visitor<br />

strolls to Ludlow Falls and provide play/picnic space.<br />

The Festival by the Bay has signed Taylor Swift as their<br />

lead act this July. Dinner cruises on the Bay are planned;<br />

sign up early as they are expected to be popular. Artech<br />

of Seattle will complete the conservation and preservation<br />

of the Totem Pole in time for a dedication during<br />

Port Ludlow’s Festival 2013. The Inn At Port Ludlow<br />

has already begun planning the menu which will include<br />

planked salmon and compote of wild berries, lovingly<br />

gathered by PLA staff. Representatives of the Suquamish<br />

tribe will attend, paddling in by canoe for the ceremony.<br />

The happy news is that, whatever the rest of the world is<br />

doing, the state of the Village is healthy and the prospects<br />

are glowing. Now I should shout “April Fool” but some<br />

of this might come to be. I hope so.<br />

About the Cover Photographers<br />

The cover photograph this month was taken by Homer<br />

Evans, a resident of Tala Shore. His wife Peggy and he<br />

enjoy gardening, so lots of quality time is spent maintaining<br />

over 150 rhododendrons and hundreds of other<br />

plants, shrubs and trees. Over 90 percent of the plants<br />

were propagated by Homer in the last 12 years. Many of<br />

the plant cuttings were offered by the neighbors, and now<br />

have a new home in Homer and Peggy’s yard. A favorite<br />

area of their yard is a Zen garden, with raked patterns and<br />

a bench to sit and meditate.<br />

Helen Weismeyer, native of Southern California, enjoyed<br />

a teaching career in the field of Physical Education,<br />

Health and Exercise Science. She discovered the<br />

Northwest and moved to Port Ludlow in 2004, along with<br />

long-time (from high school) friend Mary Small.<br />

Helen’s interests include bicycling, travel (foreign and<br />

domestic), working in the yard, and photography. She<br />

is active in the Port Townsend Photo Club, and has won<br />

some prizes at the Jefferson County Fair, had travel<br />

pictures published in the Seattle Times and USA Today,<br />

and shown some work at the Bishop Hotel First Saturday<br />

Art Walks. Mostly she enjoys photographing their cat<br />

Tiger, and designing calendars with his permission.<br />

Skagit Valley Has<br />

30th Tulip Festival<br />

by Eline Lybarger, Contributing Writer<br />

You know it is spring when the tulips bloom, and Mt.<br />

Vernon is the place to celebrate blooming tulips for the<br />

whole month of April. In addition to 350 acres of blooms,<br />

there are many events, mostly on the weekends. The<br />

largest crowds are then, too.<br />

The tour of the fields is designed for driving, but bicycling<br />

is another way to get around. Call Tulip Country<br />

Bike Tours, 13391 Avon Allen Rd., Mt. Vernon,<br />

continued on next page


Port Ludlow Voice Page 4<br />

Tulips continued from previous page<br />

360-424-7461. The tour route is clearly marked and<br />

there are maps. Parking is free at RoozenGaarde and<br />

Tulip Town, but for a fee, private citizens may open their<br />

pastures for parking. The roads are rural and narrow so<br />

shoulder parking is discouraged and can even get you a<br />

ticket.<br />

Of course, I must stop at Christianson’s Nursery at<br />

15806 Best Rd., and at Skagit Valley Gardens at 18923<br />

Peter Johnson Rd., both in Mt. Vernon. A couple other<br />

activities that sounded interesting to me were the Shutter<br />

Photo Tour between April 1-28, 206-504-2128, and the<br />

weekend helicopter tours, 360-377-4115.<br />

In addition to looking at tulips, you will probably want to<br />

bring them home. To get the blooms from field to home in<br />

good condition, use a cooler with ice or a cold pack, but<br />

don’t let them get wet. They like to be cold but not wet.<br />

Of course, the bulbs are still in the ground so you can’t<br />

take them home, but you can buy them and they will be<br />

sent to you in the fall, just in time for planting.<br />

Where to Start in the April Garden<br />

by Judy Arnold, Contributing Writer/Gardener<br />

I always approach the garden in early April with a<br />

mixture of excitement and foreboding. The first chore<br />

that deserves my attention is trimming the old desiccated<br />

flower heads from my budding hydrangeas. If I cut them<br />

off too low on the stems, I will ruin this year’s glorious<br />

color. Of course, there is appropriate fertilizing to be<br />

done, and it shouldn’t be hard to arrange this task right<br />

before it rains. There is Aluminum Sulfate to make those<br />

hydrangeas more blue and lime for the heathers.<br />

The acid-loving plants, like most perennials, can use<br />

a very small dose of rhododendron food. I need to<br />

remember not to be too heavy handed though, since<br />

most of our local soil is already acidic. Slug bait or some<br />

natural strategy to combat slugs is important just now.<br />

They love those new shoots of delphinium and dahlia.<br />

Weeding is at the top of my to-do list. If I don’t jump on<br />

it right now, Shot Weed (Hairy Bittercress) will go to seed<br />

and fire their progeny all over the garden. The Horse Tail<br />

Ferns will also be raising their green plumes very soon.<br />

I have found that constant mowing of these voracious<br />

prehistoric plants works best for me. My husband often<br />

uses a “flame thrower” on them.<br />

It seems I have concentrated on the hard work and negativity<br />

here. In reality, I so look forward to being outside<br />

and seeing the lovely lime green shoots. I really enjoy<br />

the smell of freshly turned earth and the aroma from a<br />

layer of newly spread compost. I look forward to the first<br />

yellow and purple crocus and multi-colored primroses. I<br />

take pleasure in caring for the roses with some pruning to<br />

open out the stems to air circulation, and the application<br />

of systemic rose care and alfalfa pellets to insure beautiful<br />

blooms later in the season. If there are any “bare root”<br />

shrubs I want to start, I need to get them planted now.<br />

As in all seasons in the garden, there is a mixture of labor<br />

and reward. The enjoyable anticipation of the outstanding<br />

rewards to come is worth the effort.<br />

The Power of Superfoods<br />

by Autumn Pappas, Contributing Writer<br />

Envision foods potent enough to reduce your risk of<br />

heart disease and cancer while helping all the systems<br />

of your body function at better capacities. Imagine these<br />

same foods are all natural, low in calories and contain an<br />

extraordinary amount of vitamins and minerals. This is no<br />

myth, these superfoods really do exist! Superfoods have<br />

many powerful benefits and can be great additions to our<br />

everyday diets.<br />

Dating back hundreds of years, superfoods have been<br />

widely used by civilizations to heighten immunity,<br />

promote longevity, prevent disease and produce optimal<br />

health. They can be found on all of our continents,<br />

growing in some of the most obscure places and unique<br />

climates. While some superfoods are more well-known,<br />

others like goji berries, moringa and maca don’t get the<br />

spotlight they deserve.<br />

Goji berries are one of the most nutrient-dense foods on<br />

earth, containing 18 kinds of amino acids and up to 21<br />

trace minerals. They can be found growing on vines in<br />

desert regions from America to Asia. Loaded with antioxidants<br />

and phytochemicals, they are believed to be one<br />

of the richest sources of Vitamin C on the planet. Goji<br />

berries are known to curb appetite, fight inflammation and<br />

improve sleep. They are prized for their anti-aging, moodboosting<br />

and immunity-building effects on the body.<br />

Indigenous to the Himalayas, moringa (oleifera) has made<br />

its name as the miracle tree. Its leaves yield more than 90<br />

nutrients and 46 antioxidants. Beneficial to heart health<br />

and diabetic patients, it lowers cholesterol and reduces<br />

blood glucose levels. Moringa supports liver and digestive<br />

health by detoxifying the body and regulating metabolism.<br />

Improvements in skin, eyesight and mental clarity<br />

are also common.<br />

Superfoods continued from previous page<br />

Grown high in the mountains of Peru, maca is a root plant<br />

noted for its energy and stamina-increasing properties.<br />

Aiding the nervous and digestion system, it is composed<br />

of 55 different phytochemicals and 20 different fatty<br />

acids. Maca regulates hormones, reduces stress and has an<br />

anti-depressant effect. This amazing plant also enhances<br />

one’s memory and learning ability.<br />

We all have to eat, so let’s feed our bodies the best foods<br />

possible. Add some dried goji berries to your cereals,<br />

trail mixes and muffins. Moringa and maca powders<br />

can be mixed into smoothies for an extra boost or taken<br />

in capsule form. Moringa tea is also available and very<br />

popular. All can be found in local health stores or online.<br />

Growing Potted Herbs<br />

by Eva Van Buren, Beach Club Editor and Contributing Writer<br />

Fresh herbs are deliciously aromatic and desirable for<br />

brightening the flavor of simple everyday dishes or your<br />

gourmet creations, not to mention herbal teas and aroma<br />

therapy. Although most herbs prefer warm areas, they will<br />

thrive in our temperate marine climate following some<br />

simple tips for success.<br />

Pots: Well-draining porous pots made of terra cotta are<br />

preferred. Choose the appropriate size for specific herbs.<br />

Parsley, for example, has long roots requiring a deeper pot.<br />

Growing media: Use good quality potting soils that drain<br />

well. Another option is making your own using equal<br />

parts potting soil, peat moss and perlite or vermiculite,<br />

plus a bit of sand and bone meal.<br />

Feeding: While most herbs don’t require fertilizing, you<br />

may add a natural organic fertilizer to the potting mix<br />

prior to planting. Over fertilizing might produce large<br />

plants with reduced flavor and aroma.<br />

Watering: Do not over-water. Poke your finger in the pot;<br />

if it feels moist it’s perfect. Water only when the first two<br />

inches are totally dry. Most, though not all, prefer dry<br />

conditions. Check frequently and you will soon learn their<br />

individual requirements.<br />

Sunlight: Herbs need a minimum of six hours of sunlight.<br />

The advantage of container gardening is that you can<br />

move pots to a sunnier location when needed. Many, such<br />

as basil, do well indoors on a south facing window sill.<br />

Outdoors, place your pots against a south facing wall<br />

so the plants can benefit from reflected warmth. While<br />

small, cover them at night with a gallon size plastic milk<br />

jug with the bottom cut off. When larger, try rigging<br />

up plastic sheeting to protect them from cold nights.<br />

Remember to remove the covers in the morning.<br />

When shopping for herbs, stop by the Gardens at Four<br />

Corners Nursery; their experts will answer any questions<br />

you may have. If looking for local organic herbs<br />

and seeds, you will find them at the Chimacum Corner<br />

Farmstand. They also sell a helpful book, Vegetable to<br />

Vegetable, written specifically for our weather patterns by<br />

the couple operating Midori Farm in Port Townsend.<br />

Local Heroes: JHC Doctors<br />

Three Jefferson Healthcare physicians will travel to the<br />

Caribbean nations of Dominican Republic and St. Lucia<br />

to assist in the medical treatment and care of their native<br />

residents. Dr. Christopher Giedt is a Hospitalist working<br />

at the Jefferson Healthcare Hospital ACU/ICU area and<br />

his wife, Dr. Gemma O’Keeffe, is an Internist who works<br />

at the Jefferson Healthcare Internal Medicine Clinic in<br />

Port Townsend. Dr. Claus Janssen specializes in <strong>Family</strong><br />

Medicine and works at the Jefferson Healthcare <strong>Family</strong><br />

Medicine Clinic in Port Townsend.<br />

In April, Drs. Giedt and O’Keeffe treated patients in the<br />

Dominican Republic at two separate medical clinics. One<br />

is an established medical and dental clinic that sees 120<br />

Dominican and Haitian patients every Saturday. The other<br />

is a community called Barrio Blanco that houses many<br />

of the Haitian and Dominican “help” for the local tourist<br />

community. The area is an impoverished marshland with<br />

recurrent floods whose residents suffer from GI, skin and<br />

other infections.<br />

A Eugene, Oregon American has organized a pool of<br />

other ex-pats to donate their time and money to rebuild<br />

the community, including over 20 new elevated homes<br />

and a water distribution system so that frequent flooding<br />

will no longer spread disease. A new school has been built<br />

and construction has begun on a separate medical clinic.<br />

The doctors see up to 60 patients each afternoon. in a<br />

school building. In addition to providing medical care,<br />

both Drs. Giedt and O’Keeffe may assist in the construction<br />

of a clinic.<br />

Dr. Claus Janssen will be inVieux Fort, St. Lucia as part<br />

of Hewanorra Health Volunteers. He will spend two<br />

weeks in St. Lucia in late March and early April providing<br />

medical care to the residents of St Lucia. Hewanorra<br />

Health Volunteers is a nonprofit organization that mobilizes<br />

professional and financial resources to support the<br />

delivery of health care at St. Jude Hospital in Vieux Fort.<br />

St. Jude Hospital is the primary healthcare provider for<br />

families who live in the southern part of St. Lucia.<br />

Built by the U.S. government for use during World War<br />

II, the facility became an 88-bed hospital with inpatient<br />

and outpatient services, specialty care, maternity ward,<br />

emergency department and surgical services. Many<br />

services are provided by international volunteers who<br />

work alongside permanent staff. Volunteers come from all<br />

walks of life. All share a common desire to use their time<br />

and talents in service to others.<br />

St. Lucia is a British Commonwealth island in the<br />

Caribbean, off the coast of Central America. The<br />

Dominican Republic is a Spanish-speaking country on the<br />

island of Hispaniola shared with Haiti. These two areas<br />

are well-known island destinations for tourists, but little is<br />

known about the need that exists for medical services and<br />

facilities for their poverty-stricken residents.<br />

Jefferson Healthcare is proud to have these physicians<br />

as part of the Jefferson Healthcare medical staff and to<br />

support them in their outreach. For more information,<br />

visit www.jeffersonhealthcare.org.<br />

Resort has a buffet, café and steakhouse. There is also<br />

Bella Luna Pizzeria in Suquamish. The House of the<br />

Awakened Culture, a community center, is an example of<br />

the change that comes from casino revenue. By the way,<br />

Suquamish means “place of the clear water;” hence the<br />

casino name.<br />

Chief Seattle famously said that “my people are ebbing<br />

away like a fast receding tide which will never flow<br />

again.” He would be pleased to be wrong. For more<br />

Suquamish Museum<br />

Showcases Native Heritage<br />

by Beverly Browne, Managing Editor<br />

Sometime when you are “out and about,” cross over to the<br />

Kitsap <strong>Peninsula</strong> and visit the Suquamish Museum. The<br />

thoroughly modern museum is located just a short distance<br />

from the Clearwater Casino on the Suquamish reservation.<br />

It is an impressive example of a modern museum with an<br />

impressive collection, thoughtfully displayed.<br />

We were fortunate to arrive on the special day when the<br />

museum was dedicating its 40 foot long wall-mounted<br />

timeline of tribal history. Tribal Chairman Leonard<br />

Forsman and Archaeologist Dennis Lewarch spoke to the<br />

large crowd gathered in a meeting room. They explained<br />

the Treaty of Point Elliot, ratified in 1859, which established<br />

the reservation, preserved fishing rights, shellfish<br />

gathering and hunting, and provided benefits for<br />

Suquamish children. We learned about life from the<br />

time of Chief Seattle to the modern day. Exhibits reference<br />

Chief Seattle’s famous speech in 1854 during the<br />

treaty negotiations. We also learned that a branch of the<br />

Suquamish inhabited Port Ludlow.<br />

The museum contains a multimedia production showing<br />

festivities and, less pleasantly, the period when children<br />

were forcibly taken from their parents to boarding<br />

schools. A special centerpiece is a three-hundred year-old<br />

canoe lifted by bearers who represent the Suquamish from<br />

ancient times to the present.<br />

Also worth visiting is the gravesite of Chief Seattle and<br />

Old Man House Park. The view from the waterfront is<br />

spectacular. If you are hungry, the Clearwater Casino<br />

“Phantom” Returns<br />

for Season Finale<br />

by Barbara Wagner-Jauregg, Guest Writer<br />

Franc D’Ambrosio returns to Bay Club.<br />

Submitted photo<br />

Franc D’Ambrosio carried the mantle of the “World’s<br />

Longest Running Phantom” for over a decade. Now, after<br />

a three-and-a-half year wait, the tenor returns at the invitation<br />

of the Arts Council for the finale of its 21 st Performing<br />

Arts in Port Ludlow series. He will perform his “Franc<br />

D’Ambrosio’s Hollywood, Songs from the Silver Screen”<br />

to piano accompaniment on Saturday, April 20, 7:30 p.m.<br />

at the Bay Club. The concert is funded in part by a grant<br />

from Waste Connections, Inc./Murreys Disposal.<br />

Currently touring extensively throughout the United<br />

States, Europe and South America with his critically<br />

acclaimed one-man show, D’Ambrosio’s performance<br />

includes his signature numbers, the “Phantom” medley<br />

and Love Theme from “The Godfather.” With a resumé<br />

that includes an Academy Award nominated film, Emmy<br />

Award nominated television show, and a four-time nominated<br />

Broadway show, D’Ambrosio also has had two<br />

Grammy considerations and a nomination for a National<br />

Theatre Award.<br />

While D’Ambrosio was singing in the chorus of his first<br />

Broadway show, he was cast by Francis Ford Coppola<br />

as the perfect Anthony Corleone, the opera-singing son<br />

of Al Pacino in Coppola’s film, “Godfather III.” He had<br />

the honor of singing the Academy Award winning theme<br />

song, “Speak Softly Love” (Brucia la Terra) in the film<br />

and on the original motion picture soundtrack.<br />

Following his impressive run as “The Phantom of The<br />

Opera,” D’Ambrosio caught the eye of Barry Manilow,<br />

who selected him to create and star as the male lead in the<br />

pre-Broadway tour of “Copacabana.” The show enjoyed<br />

a successful year-long tour and earned D’Ambrosio<br />

his National Theatre Award nomination for Best Male<br />

Performer in a musical.<br />

Series subscribers are invited to take advantage of a<br />

15-minute window to select their reserved seats beginning<br />

at 6:15 p.m. before doors open to other attendees at 6:30<br />

p.m. Enjoy a pre-concert beverage at the wine bar and an<br />

exhibit of colorful floor clothes and pencil drawings by<br />

Jeanne Joseph of the Port Ludlow Artists’ League. The<br />

daughter and granddaughter of artists, Joseph majored in<br />

visual communication and ran a successful design business<br />

prior to retiring to Port Ludlow.<br />

Tickets are on sale at the Bay Club for $24. Flex Pass<br />

owners are reminded they expire so are reminded to use<br />

all remaining exchanges for this last concert. For online<br />

<strong>Peninsula</strong> Singers Perform Bach<br />

by Bernard Super, Guest Writer<br />

Johann Sebastian Bach’s Mass in B Minor, one of the<br />

most glorious sacred choral works ever created, will be<br />

performed by the <strong>Peninsula</strong> Singers, under the direction of<br />

maestro Dewey Ehling, with a corps of professional soloists<br />

and accompanied by the Port Townsend Community<br />

Orchestra. The venue is the Port Angeles High School<br />

Auditorium, 304 East Park Avenue. Note that there will<br />

be one performance only on Sunday, April 21, at 2:00<br />

p.m. You are cordially invited to participate in this unique<br />

opportunity to hear this sublime work performed live.<br />

Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and students;<br />

children 12 and under are admitted free. For information<br />

or to purchase tickets in advance (recommended), contact<br />

during the intermission.<br />

PT Community Orchestra<br />

Presents A Night at the Opera<br />

A Night at the Opera is the theme of the Port Townsend<br />

Community Orchestra’s spring concert on Saturday,<br />

April 27 at 7:30 p.m. The program will highlight three<br />

opera divas, all who have years of stage experience<br />

singing in Europe and America. Soprano Nancy Beier<br />

sang her entire career in German opera houses. Soprano<br />

Susan Roe, who sang with the orchestra in 2012, made<br />

her operatic debut singing La Boheme in the Cairo Opera<br />

House in Egypt, and Sharon Annette Lancaster, mezzosoprano,<br />

has sung in the Seattle area for many years and<br />

has also sung in Germany.<br />

Maestro Dewey Ehling has conducted many grand operas<br />

as well as dozens of musicals and has selected a blend of<br />

arias and music from opera and ballet. Ehling says that<br />

opera is stimulating because it is so complex—encompassing<br />

all the elements of theater including lighting,<br />

costuming, make-up, dance and acting. All are secondary<br />

to the art of singing.<br />

The audience will hear arias from Carmen, Romeo and<br />

Juliet, Tosca, Lakmé and Der Rosenkavalier, as well<br />

as ballet music from Faust and a lovely mazurka from<br />

Delibes’ ballet Coppelia.<br />

Also on the program will be the fourth movement of<br />

Borodin’s Symphony No. 2 in B minor, which will<br />

complete the symphony’s season. Next October the<br />

orchestra will play the entire symphony.<br />

All concerts at Chimacum High School Auditorium are<br />

free to the public, and donations are welcome. Conductor<br />

Ehling gives a 20-minute program preview at 6:45 p.m.<br />

this show will be Jean-Marie Tarascio.<br />

Throughout its history, the book has transported ideas,<br />

messages and thoughts. It has been a vehicle for reflection<br />

and communication. It has been banned, burned, sworn<br />

upon, quoted, treasured, adorned, discarded, chained,<br />

praised, and threatened with extinction.<br />

In this exhibit, the eleven artists explore the concept of<br />

“book” as inspiration in unique and personalized ways to<br />

convey their artistic messages.<br />

What You See Isn’t<br />

Always What You Get!<br />

Gary Settle speaks on<br />

photography.<br />

Submitted photo<br />

At the April 17 meeting of the<br />

Port Ludlow Artists’ League,<br />

photographer Gary Settle will<br />

speak on “Composition in Art<br />

and Photography.”<br />

Born and raised in Kansas, Settle<br />

has been a Port Ludlow resident<br />

for almost nine years. He got<br />

into photography at his father’s<br />

knee, and by his sixteenth<br />

birthday he was a part-time<br />

darkroom boy and photographer<br />

at his hometown newspaper. His<br />

course was set!<br />

Settle’s 45-year career in photojournalism included The<br />

Chicago Daily News and The New York Times in the 60s<br />

and 70s. He was named the “Newspaper Photographer of<br />

the Year” in 1968 and 1970, and served as president of the<br />

National Press Photographers’ Association in 1977-78.<br />

With his artist wife Patti, Gary came to the Seattle area in<br />

1979 to become the Assistant Managing Editor/Graphics at<br />

The Seattle Times. He was responsible for supervising the<br />

photography and art departments and the overall design of<br />

the newspaper. Retiring to Port Ludlow provided a wealth<br />

of scenery and subjects to photograph, including Sophie,<br />

his Siamese cat.<br />

The League’s meeting is at the Bay Club on Wednesday,<br />

April 17, 1:00 p.m. Guests are welcome to attend. A guest<br />

fee of $5 may be paid for an individual meeting; dues are<br />

$30 a year. For more information contact President Carol<br />

Durbin at 437-0204 or by e-mail at gramcr@aol.com.<br />

Port Ludlow Artists’ League<br />

Honors Marilyn Sandau<br />

The Port Ludlow Artists’ League (PLAL) will be<br />

featuring collage artist, Marilyn Sandau, as April’s Artist<br />

of the Month. A one-woman show of her colorful and<br />

intricate collages will be displayed at Columbia Bank, as<br />

well as several of her pieces in the “Black & White” show<br />

going on at The Inn At Port Ludlow through April.<br />

Generally color-driven rather than thematic, Sandau has<br />

currently been working on more abstract collages and<br />

experimenting with various textures to give her pieces<br />

more body and depth. Inspiration for one collage oftentimes<br />

expands the work into a series or grouping.<br />

A member of the Northwest Collage Society, Sandau has<br />

exhibited her works in various galleries from Vermont and<br />

Massachusetts to local galleries in Port Townsend, Port<br />

Ludlow and Sequim. Recent solo shows have included<br />

one at the Concert Series at the Bay Club, and participation<br />

in Port Townsend’s Art Walk with her collages<br />

displayed at the Wine Seller this past December. In<br />

March, Sandau was on an artists’ panel presenting to the<br />

American Association of University Women (AAUW).<br />

Currently, she has collages at the Blue Raincoat Gallery<br />

in Port Townsend.<br />

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

view Marilyn Sandau’s exhibit at the “Second Wednesday<br />

Reception” held on April 10, from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. in<br />

the lobby of Columbia Bank, Oak Bay Road and from<br />

5:00 to 6:00 p.m. in the Art Gallery adjacent to the bank.<br />

importance of friend and family gatherings to Port<br />

Ludlow residents. Notable design elements are a remarkable<br />

variety of sinks, stainless steel, ceramic, stone,<br />

and composite granite, and three homes with reclaimed<br />

wood flooring. “The homes on this year’s tour have<br />

amazing decks and patios with spectacular views of water<br />

and mountains,” reports Kitchen Selection Committee<br />

Judge Approves Iron Mountain<br />

Quarry/Jefferson County Deal<br />

On March 1, Judge Steve Dixon approved an agreement<br />

between Jefferson County and Iron Mountain Quarry<br />

(IMQ) regarding a county stormwater permit and ordered<br />

dismissal of a Land Use Petition Act (LUPA) case. The<br />

county’s decision to issue a Mitigated Determination of<br />

Nonsignificance (MDN) had been a subject of dispute<br />

since it was issued on September 28, 2012. IMQ had<br />

argued that some of the conditions the county had imposed<br />

on its operation were not within the county’s authority.<br />

IMQ filed a LUPA appeal in October 2012. A damages<br />

lawsuit by IMQ remains active against the county.<br />

The decree means the mining company has met the<br />

stormwater permit requirements for the construction of<br />

New Shine Quarry. Other permits are still needed. They<br />

include a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination<br />

System permit from Washington State Department of<br />

Ecology, an Air Operating Permit from Olympic Region<br />

Clean Air Agency, a building permit from the Jefferson<br />

County Building Department, water and septic approval<br />

from Jefferson County Public Health and permits from<br />

the Department of Natural Resources.<br />

Metropolitan Park Districts<br />

by Beverly Browne, Managing Editor<br />

According to Wikipedia, a park district is a form of a<br />

local special-purpose district for providing public parks<br />

and recreation in or near its geographical boundaries.<br />

Some also own or maintain related facilities such as<br />

monuments, sports arenas, music venues or museums.<br />

Usually a Park District does not have exclusive rights to<br />

establish parks. Other entities may establish parks. State<br />

and national parks are controlled by the entity that created<br />

them, not by any park district.<br />

Port Townsend is investigating the establishment of a<br />

metropolitan park district (MPD) in its general area. The<br />

idea was generated by the Exploratory Regional Parks<br />

and Recreation Committee out of concern for maintenance<br />

of the county parks which are unfunded due to<br />

recent economic conditions. Those include H.J. Caroll<br />

Park, the Port Townsend Recreation Center, Memorial<br />

Field and others. If a park district were established, the<br />

County could levy property taxes on behalf of the district<br />

and charge entry fees to support the park. Jurisdictions<br />

already having MPDs are excluded from participation.<br />

Some citizens in Port Ludlow have expressed concern<br />

because Port Ludlow might be asked to help pay for<br />

the parks. They complain that they would be mostly in<br />

Port Townsend, thus inconvenient, and would replicate<br />

services already available in Port Ludlow, therefore<br />

providing little benefit to its residents. Nevertheless, they<br />

might be subject to a tax designated for park support.<br />

The County is not very far down the road in this process.<br />

At this point no one knows whether the issue will be on<br />

the ballot. A steering committee, containing 12 people and<br />

chaired by Mike McFadden and Kathleen Kler, has been<br />

formed. Kler formerly served on a Parks Advisory Board<br />

in Quilcene. The committee will make a recommendation<br />

to the councilors who are primarily responsible for funding.<br />

continued on next page


Port Ludlow Voice Page 14<br />

Park Districts continued from previous page<br />

Presently, there are only two park districts in Jefferson<br />

County. The Coyle park district funds Coyle’s community<br />

center. Brinnon also has formed a park district mainly to<br />

keep out a county MPD. On the positive side, the MPD<br />

is an altruistic attempt to help children who are primary<br />

users of parks.<br />

Message from Chief Brad Martin<br />

Sequestration took place on March 1 and with it came<br />

mandatory across-the-board budget cuts. The full effect,<br />

on the Federal level, will take time to be realized. The full<br />

impact is not completely understood. Each organization<br />

of the government will have to sort through the requirements,<br />

and develop their plans for implementation.<br />

Unfortunately, some cuts to federal programs will have an<br />

impact on the fire service in general. The fire department<br />

relies on grants to assist us with expensive budget items such<br />

as staffing, equipment purchasing/replacement, and prevention<br />

programs. Two predominant grant programs, the Staffing<br />

for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) and<br />

the Assistance to Firefighter Grant (AFG), are affected. These<br />

two grants, funded for 2013 for $208 million dollars, were cut<br />

by $117 million dollars. That makes obtaining funds through<br />

the grants nearly impossible.<br />

In addition to the cuts to the grant programs, Medicare<br />

reimbursement will be cut by 2 percent. For PLFR that<br />

will only be approximately $4,000/year. That is based on<br />

the number of calls and call types that Medicare patients<br />

require. Each fire district will have differing rates dependent<br />

upon their location and population.<br />

With the cuts and furloughs and layoffs of base workers,<br />

it is predicted that business patronage and sales tax<br />

revenues will be dramatically decreased. Fortunately,<br />

and unlike Bremerton and other municipalities, Ludlow<br />

is not dependent upon sales tax revenues. Nevertheless,<br />

our proactive Board of Commissioners and department<br />

personnel have considered the impact of reduced funds<br />

and are working to ensure service levels and staffing<br />

survive the crisis.<br />

Contact me if you have any questions, input or merely<br />

want to make an appointment to come in and talk. I can<br />

be reached by email at brad.martin@plfr.org, or call<br />

They Did It Again!<br />

by Linda Karp, Contributing Writer<br />

The Port Ludlow Fire and Rescue was represented<br />

in “The Twenty-second Annual Scott Firefighters<br />

Stairclimb.” Participating were Kurt Van Ness, Scott<br />

Hartley, Rachel Campos, Christopher Holeman and<br />

Robert Novak.<br />

Kurt came in 17 out of 1473 climbers and bettered his<br />

previous time by 13 seconds at 13:17 minutes. Rachel<br />

came in 60 out of 134 female climbers at 25:05 minutes.<br />

The “Scott Climb” benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma<br />

Society whose mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma,<br />

Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma. It is a climb up 69<br />

flights (1311 steps and 788 feet of vertical elevation)<br />

outfitted in 60 pounds of firefighting equipment in the<br />

Columbia Center Building in Seattle.<br />

Port Ludlow has been given one more reason to be proud<br />

of our fine Port Ludlow Fire and Rescue firefighters.<br />

Community Meetings<br />

Dine and Discover<br />

On Monday, April 8, (the second Monday of April) at<br />

the Bay Club, hear author Carole Dagg tell the story of<br />

her great-grandmother’s adventures, which she chronicled<br />

in the book, The Year We Were Famous. The true story<br />

relates how and why her great-grandmother Helga Estby<br />

and daughter Clara walked from Mica Creek, WA to New<br />

York City in 1896, surviving numerous dangers, to save<br />

their family farm from foreclosure. The book earned a<br />

place in the American Library Association’s 2012 Amelia<br />

Bloomer list of best feminist fiction. Sign up at the Bay<br />

Club to bring a potluck dish to serve at least 10 people. To<br />

cancel or to be placed on a waiting list, call Bev and Dean<br />

Nelson at 437-0762.<br />

On Monday, May 6, at the Beach Club, hear Joanne<br />

Pickering tell the story of living on Tatoosh Island for<br />

four years in the 1950’s. She and husband Earl were<br />

National Weather Bureau employees and lighthouse<br />

keepers on this tiny island at the entrance to the Straits of<br />

Juan de Fuca. Learn of the delights and the horrors, the<br />

horrific storms and tides, as well as the rocks known as<br />

the graveyard for ships. Picture being lowered and raised<br />

up a 90-foot cliff in a basket from a small boat. Sign up<br />

at the Beach Club to bring a potluck dish to serve at least<br />

10 people. To cancel or to be placed on a waiting list, call<br />

Myra and Tom Cardella at 437-8191.<br />

For both events, bring table settings: Placemats, dishes,<br />

glasses, utensils, napkins and your favorite beverage. A $2<br />

per person fee will be collected at the door. Doors open at<br />

5:30 p.m. For questions call Michael and Hilda Cahn at<br />

437-8223.<br />

First Wednesday Luncheon<br />

On Wednesday, April 3, 11:00 a.m. at the Bay Club, the<br />

First Wednesday luncheon will feature Michael Cavett as<br />

our guest speaker. Mike and his wife Judy are the owners<br />

of FairWinds Winery in Port Townsend, which opened<br />

for business in 1996, and was the first winery licensed in<br />

Jefferson County. Mike will be speaking to us about the<br />

building of the winery and about the challenges of dealing<br />

with the federal, state and county governments. He will<br />

be happy to answer all questions about wine, winemaking<br />

and the wine industry in general.<br />

Please sign up at either the Beach Club or the Bay<br />

Club. Once again, lunch will be provided by the Food<br />

Committee. Instead of paying for your lunch, we ask that<br />

you make a donation to the Food Bank. Personal hygiene<br />

items such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant and<br />

feminine hygiene products are always needed, as well as<br />

cleaning supplies and laundry soap. Of course, cash or<br />

checks directed to the Food Bank are much appreciated.<br />

And remember, we are ”green,” so bring your own table<br />

service (plate, silverware, napkin, cup, etc). The money<br />

saved by not providing place settings can then be donated<br />

to the Food Bank.<br />

May’s lunch will be on Wednesday, May 1 at the Beach<br />

Club. The Choral Belles will be there to entertain us.<br />

Port Ludlow Book Club<br />

On Tuesday, April 9, 6:30 p.m. at the Bay Club, The<br />

Book Club will discuss She-Wolves: The Women Who<br />

Ruled England Before Elizabeth, by Helen Castor. This<br />

book delivers a compelling look at the early queens<br />

of England and France. Matilda, the granddaughter of<br />

William the Conqueror, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Margaret<br />

of Anjou and finally Elizabeth I all left their mark in the<br />

period of time in which they lived. Matilda, Eleanor and<br />

Margaret were smart, spirited and capable of leadership<br />

and were formidable forces in ruling at their husbands’<br />

sides and on their own. Finally, with Elizabeth I, England<br />

had a sovereign queen, a powerful and willful ruler. These<br />

women demonstrated through intelligence, strength and<br />

sheer will-power how to be a queen and rule even in the<br />

absence of male support. This is a fascinating story of<br />

how royal power came to lie in female hands both officially,<br />

and unofficially.<br />

The book selection for May is The Paris Wife, by Paula<br />

McLain. Everyone is welcome. For questions, please call<br />

Martha Dawson at 437-4167.<br />

Here’s Your Chance!<br />

Dine and Discover needs you. If you are looking for a<br />

rewarding and exciting volunteer position to enhance<br />

your Port Ludlow experience, please contact Hilda and<br />

Michael Cahn. We are looking for one or two people to<br />

share the coordinator position for Dine and Discover<br />

for the season October 2013 through May 2014.<br />

If you would like more information concerning the<br />

responsibilities, call Hilda and Michael at 437-8223.

Stamping and Paper Arts<br />

April is the month to celebrate military children who<br />

often have to make a lot of sacrifices during a parent’s<br />

deployment. It’s also the month that our stamping group<br />

devotes their two hour morning session to making Cards<br />

to their children to let them know how much they, too, are<br />

appreciated.<br />

Volunteers in the group will bring theme card kits and a<br />

sample to the meeting to be completed by those attending.<br />

Last year we doubled our goal of cards for the military<br />

and hope to do the same this year. It will be a rewarding<br />

morning for those participating and for those who receive<br />

our handmade cards.<br />

There will be time to share your show ‘n tell items as<br />

well as to purchase gently used stamps and card making<br />

supplies at bargain prices before the card making session.<br />

Troops mailing fund.<br />

Technology and Your Daily Life<br />

Port Ludlow DigitalLife (PLDL) looks at digital technology<br />

in our lives. Although DigitalLife began with<br />

the purpose of educating our community in the use of<br />

the computers, it has morphed into something far more<br />

important. Today we explore the “digital revolution” as<br />

involved in our daily lives.<br />

New tools have overtaken and simplified the mundane<br />

tasks that we encounter daily, and have improved our<br />

standard of living. Join with us in this quest for knowledge<br />

and understanding.<br />

The benefits of membership are numerous. PLDL<br />

members participate in workshops (including the new<br />

“Women’s Workshop”) and share their interests, expertise<br />

and questions. The Club “experts” assist in resolving<br />

computer or other system problems.<br />

Our members enjoy many special interest groups that offer<br />

a greater understanding of the use of our computers (Mac<br />

and PC), smart phones, tablets, etc. in our modern living.<br />

• Mac – meets third Mondays, 6:00 p.m.<br />

• Office – meets first Mondays, 10:30 a.m.<br />

Port Ludlow Village Council<br />

Port Ludlow Village Council<br />

(PLVC) Meeting Report<br />

by Beverly Browne, Managing Editor/PLVC Reporter<br />

Vice President Tony Durham presided over the meeting of<br />

the Village Council at 3:00 p.m. on March 7 at the Beach<br />

Club. Also present were Laury Hunt, Tamra McDearmid,<br />

Larry Nobles, Sue Oemichen, Lois Ruggles and Terry<br />

Umbreit. Absent were Dave Armitage, Linda Haskins,<br />

Elizabeth Van Zonnefeld, Jerry Purdy and Vicki Tallerico.<br />

A quorum was declared. The meeting was recorded.<br />

Review of prior meeting minutes resulted in delaying<br />

their approval. Larry Nobles complained that they were<br />

misleading with regard to the number of pilings being<br />

replaced. Tamra McDearmid concurred and noted that it<br />

was not clear if they referred to the pilings themselves or<br />

just bird houses. Clarification will be sought.<br />

Council Actions and Reports<br />

Treasurer’s Report: Tony Durham presented the<br />

Treasurer’s Report in the absence of Linda Haskins.<br />

He said that it had been a slow month with no income<br />

received. Expenditures included a $200 contribution to<br />

the Voice and $1,000 to the Trails Committee. The PLVC<br />

has $3,646 in the IMQ Reserve Fund, $18,443 in the<br />

General operating account, $10,941 in Certificates for<br />

Deposit and $29,383 in General Operating Funds. It holds<br />

$13,024 for the trails committee. Larry Nobles moved<br />

that the Treasurer’s Report be accepted. It was seconded<br />

and approved.<br />

Invited Speakers: Durham announced that the Council<br />

is developing a list of meeting speakers and asked for<br />

suggestions. Some suggestions were: John Fabian of the<br />

Hood Canal Coalition, Jefferson County Sheriff Tony<br />

Hernandez, speakers from Port Ludlow Fire and Rescue,<br />

someone from the Chimacum School District and Port<br />

Ludlow Associates. Tony Simpson suggested that the<br />

Development Agreement, water quality and water rights<br />

would be appropriate topics to showcase.<br />

The topic of the Port Townsend Metropolitan Park District<br />

was also proposed. The Park District is likely to have<br />

tax implications for Port Ludlow residents. Oemichen<br />

moved that County Commissioner John Austin be asked<br />

to explain the ramifications of the park district and how it<br />

affects Jefferson County. The proposal was seconded by<br />

Tamra MacDearmid and approved by the Council.<br />

Election Planning: Candidates for board positions are<br />

being sought. Board members whose terms are expiring<br />

are Larry Nobles, Lois Ruggles, Vicki Tallerico and Terry<br />

Umbreit. Persons who would like to run for office should<br />

contact one of the Directors.<br />

Farmer’s Market: Reporting for Vicki Tallerico,<br />

Umbreit said that the posters are being finalized. Tallerico<br />

has developed a large vendor list. Tamra MacDearmid<br />

displayed alternate poster designs. The market will start<br />

on the last day in May and run to October. The location<br />

will change to the bluff near the Harbor Master. Hours<br />

have been adapted.<br />

It was proposed that the PLVC sponsor a tent at the<br />

market. Umbreit said that is in the plans. A major market<br />

promotion is planned for April.<br />

Report from the Developer<br />

Diana Smeland, President of Port Ludlow Associates<br />

(PLA), said that the corporation sent a letter last fall<br />

requesting a 5-year extension to 2025. They also<br />

requested a 3-year extension to the development plats.<br />

Olympic Terrace II and Ludlow Cove are set to expire in<br />

2015. PLA is behind on their development schedule and<br />

is not sure when that will change. PLA does have enough<br />

water rights to do the build-out.<br />

The Councilors questioned whether it would be helpful<br />

to send a letter to support the application for the<br />

development extension. A motion to send a letter passed<br />

with 6 of 7 councilors approving. Private citizens may<br />

also write letters.<br />

PLA is entering into a final settlement agreement with<br />

Pope Resources regarding soil contamination in a well<br />

site. The settlement refers to a cost-sharing agreement<br />

between Pope and PLA to clean up gasoline leakage<br />

where the well was being dug.<br />

PLVC continued from previous page<br />

Smeland also confirmed a rumor that PLA is exploring the<br />

sale of Olympic Water and Sewer (OWSI). She emphasized<br />

that no decision has been made at this time. If the<br />

sale is desirable from a business standpoint, PLA will<br />

start the process by listing with a commercial broker. The<br />

broker will look for potential buyers in the market.<br />

Utilities Committee Response: Phil Otness, PLVC Utilities<br />

Committee, said that the committee has been exploring<br />

options for ownership of the utility for some time. The<br />

options were: to petition or request Jefferson County PUD<br />

to buy the system, form a local water and sewer district by<br />

vote of the people under RCW 57, and ownership by another<br />

company. The complete report is in the PLVC Archives and<br />

is dated November 30, 2004. Otness said that the committee<br />

is unanimous in wanting to prevent another private company<br />

to acquire OWSI. A further discussion of this issue is planned<br />

for future meetings.<br />

It is believed that the Jefferson County Utility would have<br />

the financial and human resources to assume ownership of<br />

the Utility. It already runs 13 water districts in the county<br />

and recently took over the Kala Point water system.<br />

Other Business<br />

Assuming responsibility for the portludlowtoday has been<br />

discussed with current managers, David Pike and Dean<br />

Mosier. No agreement was reached but Pike will meet<br />

with Tamra MacDearmid.<br />

President’s Message<br />

by Dave Armitage, PLVC President<br />

This past month has seen numerous new developments<br />

that will impact our community. Several Port Ludlow<br />

residents attended a joint meeting of the Port Townsend<br />

City Council and the Board of County Commissioners<br />

for Jefferson County, on a proposed Metropolitan Park<br />

District (MPD) on February 11.<br />

The MPD is an attempt by the two governments to solve<br />

a funding problem that was created by an Eyman initiative<br />

that limited the growth of government to no more<br />

than one percent a year. This growth rate is less than<br />

the rate of inflation; thus the government loses buying<br />

power. In attempting to provide the same levels of<br />

service, the county is considering shifting discretionary<br />

spending on parks into a special purpose taxing district.<br />

By establishing a separate taxing authority, the county can<br />

continue to provide service.<br />

The net impact on rate-payers is that taxes will rise more<br />

than one percent and customers will deal with a fractured<br />

government with multiple layers. In addition, Port<br />

Ludlow will help fund Port Townsend recreation facilities,<br />

but will receive little in return.<br />

The ultimate solution is to overturn the Eyman initiative<br />

or amend it to at least cover the rate of inflation. If Port<br />

Ludlow is included in the MPD, you will be able to vote<br />

on the formation of the district. For additional information,<br />

see the article on page 13.<br />

A second rising issue deals with the extension of the<br />

development agreement between Port Ludlow Associates<br />

(PLA) and Jefferson County. PLA has been hurt by the<br />

downturn in the housing markets. The current agreement<br />

will end in 2020. PLA does not feel they can complete the<br />

build out in that time frame and is asking for an additional<br />

five years. The extension is reasonable, but at the same<br />

time it raises some questions. In establishing the initial<br />

agreement, the developer promised to provide certain<br />

services and amenities. Will that happen?<br />

PLA has announced that it may sell the water and sewer<br />

company, Olympic Water and Sewer, Inc. (OWSI), to<br />

raise money to complete the development. You should<br />

care who owns the water company.<br />

OWSI has not established reserve funds to replace aging<br />

facilities. A new owner will not have that luxury. The<br />

Port Ludlow Village Council (PLVC)’s Utility Committee<br />

has reviewed this issue several times. See the report of<br />

the PLVC meeting for a list of possible buyers. Each has<br />

its pluses and minuses, but all will likely increase rates<br />

to establish a reserve fund for future repairs. A private<br />

company will add a profit on top.<br />

These issues will require your attention. The PLVC needs<br />

to hear your voices.<br />

Walkers Spruce up Trails, Signs<br />

by Soozie Darrow, Trails Scribe<br />

The Trails/Natural Resources Committee (NRC) is getting<br />

prepared for the spring growing season work that the<br />

sunshine is predicting lately! Maintenance work, such<br />

as mowing and clipping, may take the place of trail creation<br />

for a while. It is a busy time for trail stewards who volunteer<br />

to monitor trails. They, and everyone who walks the<br />

trails, can help by clipping back branches and vines that are<br />

Trails continued from previous page<br />

looking menacing and notifying Rocky Young (youngdf@<br />

live.com) or Don Folsom (folsomusa@msn.com) about<br />

bigger things such as trees down across the trail.<br />

Anyone who would like to participate in either large<br />

maintenance or trail blazing is welcome to join in the fun.<br />

Call either Doug Huber (360-662-6703) or Larry Scott<br />

(437-9299) for this opportunity.<br />

The NRC has been keeping busy cutting back blackberry<br />

bushes at the entrance to the Interpretive Trail. These will<br />

be replaced with bird-friendly plants which have been<br />

purchased from the Jefferson County Conservation District.<br />

The birds are also the beneficiaries of new or cleaned birdhouses<br />

for their use in the up-coming mating season.<br />

Another project of NRC has been replacement of three of<br />

the interpretive signs which were damaged by moisture<br />

over the years. Signs are also being prepared for placement<br />

on Timberton Loop to interpret the geological formations<br />

which can be viewed from some parts of the trail.<br />

The Trails/Natural Resources Committee meets on the<br />

first Tuesday of every month at 9:00 a.m. at either<br />

the Beach or Bay Club. Any resident of Port Ludlow is<br />

welcome to attend.<br />

LMC February<br />

Board Meeting Highlights<br />

by Vaughn Bradshaw, LMC Secretary<br />

The monthly business meeting of the Ludlow<br />

Maintenance Commission (LMC) Board of Trustees was<br />

held February 21 at the Beach Club. The following are<br />

highlights of that meeting:<br />

The compressor in the heat pump that serves the Bay View<br />

Room in the Beach Club is failing seven years before its<br />

scheduled replacement. It is not cost-effective to just replace<br />

the compressor. We have received a bid to replace the system<br />

at a cost of $11,253. Two more bids are expected before a<br />

decision is made. In the meantime, the Bay View Room is<br />

being heated by back-up electric-resistance heat which is less<br />

energy efficient than the heat pump.<br />

LMC maintenance staff replaced a failed spa motor and<br />

pump which cost $500. A circuit board and fan motor<br />

were recently replaced in one of the Beach Club’s treadmills<br />

for approximately $600.<br />

Peace Lutheran Fellowship is considering renting the Bay<br />

View Room for their services every Sunday at 9:00 a.m.<br />

to noon beginning around May 1. They are also looking<br />

at 17 other venues. Revenue data indicates very little use<br />

of the Bay View Room at that time of the week. Another<br />

church group (St. Patrick’s by the Bay Anglican Church)<br />

currently meets on Sundays in the Bridge Deck.<br />

The North Bay Lot Owners Association (NBLOA) has<br />

awarded five $100 grants to help North Bay homeowners<br />

pay the 2013 LMC special assessment. The board and<br />

General Manager commended the NBLOA, especially<br />

Jamie Bima, for helping our neighbors who are struggling.<br />

Viktor Gecas was approved as a new member of the<br />

Greenbelt Committee.<br />

Bids are being sought to replace door hardware in the<br />

Bay View Room and the Bridge Deck to meet Americans<br />

with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. The hardware<br />

Conversation Together<br />

by Teddy Clark, President LMC<br />

q<br />

This is a special invitation to all members of the Ludlow<br />

Maintenance Commission (LMC). The Annual Members<br />

Meeting will be held on Saturday, April 20 at 2:00 p.m. in<br />

the Bay View Room. Member voting packets will be sent<br />

to you in early April. Please review the information and<br />

ballot prior to the meeting. You may mail in your ballot<br />

before the meeting, but please remember to sign your<br />

ballot so it can be legally counted. The proxy is assigned<br />

to the LMC secretary unless you wish to assign your proxy<br />

to another member. Remember that individual must be<br />

present at the meeting for your vote legally to be counted.<br />

The focus of the meeting is LMC Past, Present and<br />

Future. We will review the goals of this past year and<br />

the current status of the Long Range Sustainability<br />

Projects. The theme of the meeting is: Continuing the<br />

Conversation Together.


Port Ludlow Voice Page 25<br />

Opportunities continued from previous page<br />

Conversations are interesting things. We have all experienced<br />

a conversation that was one-sided, with one person<br />

doing all of the talking. Most of us can recall being in<br />

situations as either the talker or the silent listener. A fascinating<br />

play on words is the fact that both words silent and<br />

listen contain all the same letters. This is probably not a<br />

mistake or a coincidence. Most of us realize that a good<br />

conversation involves careful listening and is a thoughtful<br />

blend of speaking and listening to exchange information<br />

and learn from each other.<br />

Input from all members is important for the future of<br />

our community association. Each member’s ideas and<br />

thoughts are important. Please contact a trustee, committee<br />

member, our General Manager or staff by email, phone<br />

or letter with your questions, concerns and ideas about<br />

our community association. Plan to attend the Annual<br />

Members Meeting to continue the conversation together.<br />

Working together, we can build a dynamic and harmonious<br />

future for the LMC. Join friends and neighbors at<br />

the meeting on April 20. Catch the spirit!<br />

You and Your Greenbelt<br />

by Jerry Purdy, LMC Trustee to Greenbelt Committee<br />

Did you know there are approximately 54 acres of reserve<br />

properties within North Bay designated as greenbelts in<br />

accordance with the Ludlow Maintenance Commission<br />

(LMC) Governing Documents? The greenbelts belong<br />

to and are for the benefit and enjoyment of all LMC<br />

members. The native trees, undergrowth, and other plants<br />

that inhabit these greenbelt areas greatly enhance the<br />

beauty and value of our community, mitigate water runoff<br />

problems, provide visual screens and buffer zones, lessen<br />

traffic noise and air pollution and provide habitat for birds<br />

and other wildlife. As with all forests, the trees in our<br />

greenbelts grow, become diseased, die and fall (sometimes<br />

causing hazards to individuals, homes, roads and<br />

trails), and infringe upon water and mountain views.<br />

The Greenbelt Committee (GBC) manages the LMC<br />

undeveloped greenbelts for the benefit of all members.<br />

The GBC’s tasks include planning and initiating projects<br />

to maintain and improve the greenbelt areas to ensure<br />

that dead, damaged and diseased trees do not become a<br />

hazard, and to consider lot owner requests to mitigate<br />

view infringements resulting from the growth of trees<br />

within the greenbelt areas. Dealing with potentially<br />

hazardous trees is the first priority of the GBC.<br />

To ensure that the greenbelt areas are properly managed<br />

and maintained, the LMC Governing Documents require<br />

that work on, use of, or modification to the greenbelt areas<br />

must be approved, in advance, and monitored by the GBC.<br />

Should you have greenbelt trees adjacent to your property<br />

that you believe may pose a potential hazard, please<br />

complete a GBC Request form (available from the Beach<br />

Club office) setting forth your concerns and turn it in<br />

to that office. Someone from the GBC will respond to<br />

your request at the earliest possible time. Trees that pose<br />

an imminent threat to human safety or property will be<br />

removed at GBC expense.<br />

Request for view maintenance or restoration should also<br />

be submitted to the GBC on the request form available at<br />

the Beach Club. If the request is approved by the GBC,<br />

any costs and expenses associated with such activities<br />

shall be the responsibility of the requesting party.<br />

If you are interested in maintaining a portion of the greenbelt<br />

area, you will need to submit a written maintenance<br />

plan to the GBC for consideration and approval. The form<br />

for requesting a maintenance agreement is also available<br />

at the Beach Club.<br />

The GBC meets the second Tuesday of every month<br />

at 2:00 p.m. at the Beach Club. If you have any questions<br />

regarding your greenbelt areas, please come to a<br />

GBC meeting or contact Jack Riggen (437-0370) or Ron<br />

Garton (437-2022), co-chairs of the GBC.<br />

North Bay April Clean Sweep<br />

by Jerry Purdy, NBLOA Clean Sweep Chair<br />

The first days of spring will soon be here and the shrubs<br />

and trees leaf out. Before they cover up the winter’s accumulation<br />

of roadside trash, volunteers need to remove it.<br />

The North Bay Clean Sweep will take place during the<br />

week of Monday, April 15 to Sunday, April 21.<br />

North Bay Clean Sweep is a dedicated Lot Owner’s<br />

Association (LOA) committee that never holds meetings,<br />

yet gets the work done. Individuals, family groups<br />

and local businesses take responsibility for picking up<br />

Members are reminded quarterly by email and through<br />

the Voice that 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 call<br />

Jerry or Diane Purdy know at437-1262. We encourage<br />

all community members to help keep our neighborhoods<br />

beautiful by picking up litter seen along our roadways<br />

between scheduled sweeps.<br />

School-age residents are encouraged to get involved in<br />

their community by picking up along the streets in their<br />

neighborhoods.<br />

Reminder to dog owners: so we all can enjoy walking our<br />

trails and roadways, please carry a plastic bag and clean<br />

up after your dog, large or small. q<br />

“The Adorables.”<br />

The North Bay Homeowner’s Potluck dinner on February<br />

16 featured a massive amount of Mexican fare and some<br />

high-quality help for the annual Talent Show. In fact, there<br />

was some real talent displayed as Kim Bond’s daughter,<br />

Diana, sang a beautiful version of “Laucia”-- in Italian,<br />

no less. Nancy Bonderson played a delightful medley of<br />

eight tunes ranging from 1919 through 1987 on the piano.<br />

Jack Zalaha entertained the gathering with a selection of<br />

Mexican songs wearing a way-too-big sombrero.<br />

The big fun came in the form of 26 local women known<br />

as “The Adorables.” Under the leadership of Nancy<br />

Bonderson, they hit the stage to sing “Five Foot Two,”<br />

“When You’re Smiling” and other tunes, the most notable<br />

being “A--You’re Adorable.” Each member of the group<br />

had a letter to hold up at an appropriate time throughout<br />

the song.<br />

The North Bay Potlucks resume in May. q<br />

Monthly Board Meeting<br />

Friday, April 5, 9:30 a.m.<br />

All SBCA members are welcome. s<br />

SBCA Meeting Highlights<br />

by Sue Oemichen, SBCA President<br />

The South Bay Community Association Board (SBCA)<br />

met on March 1, at 9:30 a.m. Six Board Members were<br />

present; twenty-one members signed in. The highlights of<br />

the meeting appear below. The official meeting minutes<br />

and financial reports are posted on the SBCA website,<br />

plsbca.org.<br />

Correspondence: The Board discussed the use of chlorine<br />

vs. bromine as a pool sanitizer in response to a letter<br />

from a member. Bromine is a more effective sanitizer in<br />

higher temperatures (spa) and both pool and spa users<br />

may develop allergies to either chlorine or bromine.<br />

Financial Report: Kay Cathcart reported that the<br />

Columbia Bank CD has been renewed, but the interest<br />

rate is greatly reduced. There are a number of members<br />

with a balance due; 65 have an overdue balance of<br />

more than two quarters. Second notices will be sent to<br />

members with a balance on their account. Pros and cons<br />

of recording liens were discussed.<br />

Committee Reports<br />

Operations Report: Brian Belmont, interim General<br />

Manager, said he was impressed with the hardworking,<br />

loyal Bay Club staff. Belmont announced that the Board<br />

is seeking another part-time employee as a front desk “fill<br />

in” position. The position will cover requested time off<br />

and sick calls.<br />

Architectural Review Committee: The ARC filed an<br />

Olympic Terrace painting project (approved by Village<br />

ARC). A view maintenance application in Timberton<br />

Village was approved; two complaints in LPV-1 were<br />

deferred as complainants were not in attendance. Three<br />

view applications from Woodridge Village are under study.<br />

The ARC will review legal opinions and determine whether<br />

there are additional questions before moving forward.<br />

Facilities Committee: Diane Ridgley said the Landscape<br />

subcommittee is working on issues with drainage in<br />

the soggy back lawn. The landscaping contract is being<br />

developed and will go out for bids when completed. Moss<br />

in the parking lot and on walkways is being addressed in<br />

an environmentally safe way. Sidewalks will be repaired.<br />

The pool, scheduled for re-plastering in 2015, is blistering<br />

due to the acid wash. The plastering will be rescheduled<br />

to occur in 2014.<br />

The tennis courts are scheduled for repair and repainting<br />

this year; the committee is currently compiling a contract<br />

to obtain bids to repaint the Bay Club trim.<br />

The review of Bay Club storage has resulted in new<br />

shelves in the storage room and clearing and organization<br />

of the electrical room. The shed is being cleaned,<br />

organized, and inventoried; the off-site storage unit will<br />

be emptied. Board Member Ed Knodle will coordinate<br />

record retention. The sound system in the Great Room has<br />

been serviced. The Board approved the purchase of eight<br />

new cordless microphones and a laptop computer with<br />

recording capability for $800 plus tax.<br />

Finance Committee: The committee recommended the<br />

creation of a policy for facility fee guidelines for charities<br />

and qualifying nonprofits, the establishment of a<br />

level of funding for SBCA Reserves at 70 percent, and<br />

a target goal to achieve funding in the next five years.<br />

Identification of components that need maintenance,<br />

repair, or replacement during the upcoming budget and<br />

review of the healthcare benefits by the Human Relations<br />

Committee were recommended.<br />

Human Relations: The committee will discuss employment<br />

options for the General Manager position, review<br />

job descriptions, update the employee handbook, review<br />

the employee benefit package, and review employee files<br />

for required documentation.<br />

Finance: The conversion to an in-house bookkeeping<br />

system has progressed with the help of Jarilyn Rust.<br />

continued on next page

Board Meeting continued from previous page<br />

Member information has been imported into Quick<br />

Books. Employee and payroll tax data has been<br />

entered; the goal is to issue the next payroll from the<br />

in-house system. The Chart of Accounts is currently<br />

being formulated.<br />

New Business<br />

General Manager Position: The interview process<br />

was outlined. Thirty resumés have been received for the<br />

General Manager position. The Board of Directors will<br />

select interviewees. Three teams of interviewers will<br />

conduct independent interviews; leaders received interview<br />

packets. Teams will meet and devise 5 or 6 questions<br />

for candidates. All candidates will receive the same<br />

questions and be rated on a scale. Teams will have 30<br />

minutes with each candidate.<br />

Extended Hours Task Force: Jarilyn Rust requested<br />

rescheduling the key card presentation for the April Board<br />

meeting. Initial estimates were that the system would cost<br />

$15,000. The task force needs additional time to examine<br />

other aspects of the system.<br />

Other Business and Announcements<br />

The Finance Committee and the Facilities Committee<br />

were tasked to provide a report at the April Board meeting<br />

on how to achieve a level of 70 percent funding of the<br />

SBCA reserves.<br />

A draft protocol for recording SBCA Board meetings was<br />

distributed and will be discussed at the April Board meeting.<br />

The Instructor Led Classes - Facility Fee Guideline<br />

was approved.<br />

Ed Knodle will chair the Nominations Task Force to find<br />

nominees to fill vacant positions on the Board of Directors.<br />

The SBCA Board of Directors and SBCA ARC will<br />

conduct a workshop to discuss legal opinions on March<br />

18 at 1:00 p.m. at the Bay Club.<br />

Richard and Phyllis Gandy were approved as Associate<br />

Members. The Board recessed to Executive Session to<br />

discuss personnel issues. The regular meeting reconvened<br />

and candidates were approved for interview for the<br />

General Manager position.<br />

The next regular SBCA Meeting will be Friday, April 5<br />

at 9:30 a.m.<br />

Let’s Get Involved!<br />

by Ed Knodle, SBCA Board Member<br />

As homeowners in South Bay, one of the best things we<br />

can do is to be involved in the active leadership of our<br />

community. This year there will be four positions open<br />

for election to the Board at our SBCA Annual Meeting<br />

on Wednesday, July 17. The goal is to have communityminded<br />

candidates run for these positions.<br />

Here is your opportunity to step up to the challenge of<br />

providing leadership to manage the business of the association.<br />

Candidates should be knowledgeable about the<br />

provisions of our governing documents and be willing to<br />

accept fiduciary responsibility for the affairs of SBCA.<br />

Without question, there are many residents who can<br />

fulfill these responsibilities. Individuals with accounting<br />

or finance background would be very beneficial. Most<br />

important is a desire to preserve, protect and enhance our<br />

community.<br />

We hope to have more than the minimum number of four<br />

candidates; so please step up and offer your time and<br />

talents to this important work.<br />

Please submit your resumés addressed to the Nominating<br />

Committee at the Bay Club. s<br />

An Invitation from Free Spirits<br />

Celebrate spring by attending the Free Spirits Spring<br />

Event “Cherry Blossoms and Jasmine,” to be held on<br />

Saturday, April 27. The time is 6:00 p.m. for the start<br />

of the festivities and the place is the Bay Club. We have<br />

a new Asian-inspired menu to entice you, in addition<br />

to music by Leslie and Michael for your listening and<br />

dancing enjoyment. The dress is comfortably casual<br />

and the price could not be better: $22 for Free Spirits<br />

members and $29 for non-members and friends.<br />

If you are new to Port Ludlow, have not attended a Free<br />

Spirits Dinner lately (or at all), please consider this one.<br />

Members began signing up on Monday March 25; nonmembers<br />

and friends are invited to sign up beginning<br />

Monday, April 15, and the last day to save a place at the<br />

table is Monday, April 22. This is a great opportunity to<br />

catch up after a long winter and to celebrate the coming of<br />

spring with “Good Wine, Good Food and Good Friends.”<br />

Questions, or if you wish to help – please contact Sherry<br />

Robinson at 437-7948, or Teresa Forrest at 437- 1191. We<br />

look forward to seeing you there. s

New Opportunities and Endeavors<br />

by Diana Smeland, President, Port Ludlow Associates<br />

I feel very fortunate to work with<br />

a team of incredible people here at<br />

the Port Ludlow Associates (PLA)<br />

office and all around the Resort<br />

at Port Ludlow. Each day they<br />

inspire me with their commitment<br />

to explore innovative ideas, push<br />

themselves to learn different ways<br />

to approach daily tasks, and to find<br />

ways to improve themselves and<br />

our company.<br />

One particular endeavor I am excited to share with you<br />

is that, after many hours of coursework, Brent Sasse,<br />

our Construction Manager at Westharbor Homes, has<br />

recently earned his designation as a Certified Aging-in-<br />

Place Specialist.<br />

Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists:<br />

• Have been trained to meet the housing needs of the 50+<br />

population<br />

• Can identify and/or make home modifications to help<br />

people live independently in their homes at later ages<br />

• Can find solutions to common household obstacles<br />

which can make homes unsafe or uncomfortable<br />

With this expertise, Westharbor Homes is now able to<br />

better assist Port Ludlow residents in updating their<br />

homes with a lifelong outlook, while also providing the<br />

aesthetic modifications that homes often need to maintain<br />

their value over time. If you have ever considered making<br />

a few updates to your home or are looking at the possibility<br />

of a full remodel, Brent and his team at Westharbor<br />

Homes are ready to assist you.<br />

There is so much going on here in Port Ludlow each<br />

day that makes this community vibrant, and our team is<br />

working daily to share the many happenings here with<br />

the rest of the world. One way we are working to get the<br />

word out is the new events calendar on the new Resort<br />

website. Just visit www.PortLudlowResort.com, go to<br />

“Discover” and choose “Calendar”. Once there, you will<br />

be able to see all of our events from golf tournaments<br />

and special dinner events at Niblicks Café to Marina<br />

Rendezvous, winemaker dinners, holiday meals, and<br />

happy hour times at The Fireside Restaurant. (Don’t<br />

forget, Happy Hour at The Fireside is every day from<br />

4:00 - 6:00 p.m. and is a great way to explore a new drink<br />

or one of the half-price small plates.)<br />

With one simple location for all the Resort’s events and<br />

activities, I hope you like the new calendar as much as I do.<br />

With our company-wide mindset of finding new ways to<br />

approach our business, we have begun to look for fresh<br />

ways to accelerate our progress towards the development<br />

of the remaining neighborhoods outlined within the<br />

Master Plan Resort Development Agreement. In these<br />

explorations, one intriguing opportunity has presented<br />

itself, and today we are engaged in a strategic analysis<br />

to determine whether the potential sale of Olympic<br />

Water and Sewer is a viable option for both Port Ludlow<br />

Associates and for this community. As we learn more,<br />

we will update the community, when possible, at the Port<br />

Ludlow Village Council meetings and through future<br />

Voice articles.<br />

I would love to hear from you with questions that can<br />

be answered in this column. All of us with Port Ludlow<br />

Associates continue to look forward to meeting with<br />

groups and residents to share ideas or deal with any<br />

expressed concerns about Port Ludlow’s future. If you<br />

have questions, my direct line is 360-437-8342 or e-mail<br />

at dsmeland@portludlowassociates.com.<br />

Etchells Fleet Honors Jack Riggen<br />

Nine-Hole Golfers Start Season<br />

by Beverly Browne, Niners Publicity<br />

Golfing started in March for the Nine Hole Golfers and<br />

will be shifting into high gear this month. Sign-up sheets<br />

are posted in the Locker rooms in the Clubhouse. Sign up<br />

by Tuesday in order to be scheduled to play.<br />

Lady Niners Welcome Back Luncheon is scheduled on<br />

Thursday, April 11 at 1:00 p.m. at the Port Ludlow<br />

Yacht Club. Golfers can register and pay the $5 fee for<br />

the luncheon at the March 28 Play Day Table or Niners<br />

Cocktail Party or send a check made out to the PL Niners<br />

to Kathy Traci, 103 Twinsview Ct. This issue of the Voice<br />

should arrive just in time for a reminder.<br />

Recipient Jack Riggen displays the Etchells John Golden Award<br />

for 2013.<br />

Photo by Dan Darrow<br />

At their 2013 winter gathering, the Etchells sailors<br />

awarded the John Golden Founder’s Trophy to Jack<br />

Riggen. This trophy was created as a memorial to John<br />

Golden, who was instrumental in organizing Port Ludlow<br />

Etchells Fleet #26. He lovingly restored Etchells #41,<br />

Finnegan’s Wake, and sailed her to many honors with his<br />

wife Diane. The perpetual trophy is awarded to the sailor<br />

who exhibits the qualities symbolic of the enjoyment of<br />

competition and the fun of sailing.<br />

The Etchells, one-design boats, sail regularly with scheduled<br />

racing on most Thursday afternoons from April<br />

through October. This year, races include the Spring,<br />

Summer and Fall race series, a two-day regatta in August,<br />

a match-race series, a special early Spring series, plus<br />

other special events.<br />

The boats normally sail with a crew of three people.<br />

There are open days on the schedule on which new people<br />

are invited to get a taste of sailing in the bay. For more<br />

information about Etchells sailing and fleet activities,<br />

contact any of the owners, fleet scribe Dan Darrow at<br />

437-9208 or fleet captain Steve Shanklin, 437-7948.<br />

The Nifty Niners welcomes new golfers to their organization.<br />

The men’s and women’s groups are relatively low<br />

key and are accepting of golfers with all levels of skill.<br />

If you haven’t golfed much but think you might like to,<br />

the Niners are for you. Get some exercise and participate<br />

in the post game socials and comradeship, both added<br />

benefits. Anyone interested in joining the Nifty Niners<br />

should contact one of the Officers or ask at the Golf<br />

Course for details.<br />

Men’s Golf Association<br />

Issues New Conditions<br />

By Dan Holtz, Tournament Chair<br />

The Men’s Golf Association (MGA) will initiate play<br />

from the forward tee for players who are 70 years of<br />

age (during 2013) and have a handicap of 25 or more<br />

(adjusted as new handicaps are available). Players<br />

qualified for forward tees must indicate this option when<br />

signing up for weekly play. All prize money generated<br />

within the forward tee flight will be distributed within<br />

the flight. Closest to pin (KPs) awards will be distributed<br />

amongst all players participating, no matter the flight.<br />

Forward tee players are invited to participate in the<br />

Ludlow Cup; however, a minimum of two players is<br />

needed to compete. If only one qualifies for the Ludlow<br />

Cup, play would be from the white tees. Home and Away<br />

participation is from the white tees.<br />

The new rules are expected to speed play.

Golf Musings from the WGA<br />

by Peggy Selby, WGA Scribe<br />

I don’t know about the returning desert people, but I<br />

know anytime I go somewhere else to golf, like my<br />

recently concluded trip to Texas, I find myself glad to<br />

come back to Port Ludlow. Yes, it may be wet, but I have<br />

boots and rain clothes. I don’t recall needing to figure<br />

a two to three club difference just to beat the wind in<br />

Ludlow. Nor have I felt the need to wear goggles to keep<br />

the blowing dust out of my eyes, both problems in Texas.<br />

I know where my ball will be lost here. I know the black<br />

holes that magically pull the perfectly hit tee shot out of<br />

bounds or into the woods or water. I also know who will<br />

laugh out loud and who will just quietly snicker. These<br />

are good things to know while playing a round of golf.<br />

So, welcome back snow birds. I hope you all made it<br />

back for the opening luncheon kickoff of the Port Ludlow<br />

Women’s Golf Association. As for me, I will be gone<br />

again. But I will continue to click my ruby red rain boots<br />

together while chanting, “There is no place like home;<br />

there is no place like home.” I know to pay no attention to<br />

the man behind the curtain. He doesn’t know jack about<br />

golf either.<br />

Fisheries Forecasts<br />

Larger Coho Run<br />

Washington State Fish and Wildlife forecasts for the<br />

salmon were announced on March 1 at the Natural<br />

Resources Building in Olympia. The optimistic officials<br />

predicted that larger numbers of coho will return to<br />

local waters than last year. The initial forecast called for<br />

716,400 returning fish. The Chinook run is also expected<br />

to improve.<br />

Harrison Offers Innovative<br />

Cardiovascular Procedure<br />

Ventricular tachycardia is an irregular cardiac arrhythmia<br />

that is fatal when untreated. Randall (Randy) Peterson<br />

knows this first hand. The daily effort of regulating his<br />

heartbeat was becoming an overwhelming and lifethreatening<br />

task.<br />

“My ICD [internal cardiac defibrillator] had gotten to the<br />

point where it was firing daily, even multiple times a day,”<br />

Peterson recalled. “I just couldn’t enjoy life the way I’d<br />

envisioned it.” The retired Coast Guard man had begun to<br />

believe his sailing days were over.<br />

To help Peterson and dozens like him, the cardiovascular<br />

team at Harrison Medical Center, led by electrophysiologist<br />

Nathan Segerson, MD, of Kitsap Cardiology<br />

Consultants, performed a successful mapping and ablation<br />

of an unstable ventricular tachycardia patient using<br />

the Impella® left ventricular assist catheter. Harrison was<br />

the first hospital in the Northwest (including Washington,<br />

Oregon, Western Montana, Western Idaho, and Alaska) to<br />

employ this type of dramatic, life-saving procedure using<br />

the Impella® device.<br />

Collaborating with Dr. Segerson were members of<br />

Harrison’s cardiothoracic surgery team, including cardiac<br />

anesthesiologist Chai Kanithanon, MD; cardiothoracic<br />

surgeons Chris King, MD and William Reed, MD; and<br />

cardiologist Satyavardhan Pulukurthy, MD. Randy<br />

Peterson was Harrison’s first patient to undergo this<br />

procedure, which enables patients to receive this state-ofthe-art<br />

care close to home.<br />

“The rhythm abnormality this patient was suffering<br />

from was immediately life-threatening every time it<br />

occurred. Without the defibrillator shocking him back to<br />

life, he was near death multiple times per day,” said Dr.<br />

Segerson. Receiving ICD shocks so frequently is simply<br />

not a life worth living, and medication options had failed.<br />

The Impella®, a highly advanced heart catheter that<br />

pumps blood out of the heart and to the body, was the<br />

solution. It is inserted into the left ventricle (the heart<br />

chamber that pumps oxygenated blood to the body) to<br />

ensure proper blood flow while the physician creates<br />

a map of the electrical activity. The device ensures<br />

sustained cardiac output during that time.<br />

This procedure would not have been possible without this<br />

supportive technology. “Prior to the availability of this<br />

technology, we might have considered heart transplant.<br />

However, that approach is simply not practical for older<br />

patients or for patients with multiple health problems,”<br />

said Dr. Segerson.<br />

Harrison Medical Center is a not-for-profit hospital system<br />

offering medical, surgical, and emergency services at five<br />

locations: Bremerton, Silverdale, Port Orchard, Belfair,<br />

and Poulsbo—to serve the Kitsap and Olympic peninsulas.<br />

Marine Science Center Offers<br />

Summer Camps for Kids<br />

Wondering what fun things there are for your kids or<br />

grandkids this summer? Send them to one of the Port<br />

Townsend Marine Science Center Day Camps! The kids<br />

will love plunging their hands into gooey sediment to<br />

examine it under a microscope or coming face-to-face<br />

with sea creatures from the deep. A summer science day<br />

camp at the Port Townsend Marine Science Center in<br />

2013 will give kids a hands-on learning experience while<br />

they explore marine life and our coastal ecosystem.<br />

Junior Explorers Camp: Ages 5-7, June 24-28 (a.m.<br />

session only) and Aug. 5-9 (a.m. and p.m. sessions), fee<br />

$140. Campers spend a week exploring and discovering<br />

marine and coastal life—animals, plants and secret places.<br />

This half-day camp is all about fun, with activities in and<br />

around the Marine Science Center. It’s a great program<br />

for the younger set who love marine animals and explorations<br />

on the coast. Choose either a morning or an afternoon<br />

camp.<br />

Coastal Explorers Camp: Ages 8-12, July 8-12, fee<br />

$250. Ready, set, explore by foot and by boat! Examine<br />

the varied coastal environments of beach, glacial bluff,<br />

forest, pond and meadow. This is the perfect camp for<br />

nature-loving kids who want to explore it all! Using<br />

observation skills, campers discover how these places<br />

support life in the coastal ecosystem.<br />

Marine Biology Camp: Ages 9-13, July 22-26, Cost is<br />

$250. Campers immerse themselves in marine biology<br />

and engage in exciting classes, labs and field programs.<br />

A few of the many captivating activities include: sieving<br />

through goopy sediments looking for brittle stars, pulling<br />

a seine net through eelgrass beds to learn where young<br />

fish hide and using microscopes to observe the plankton<br />

that supports all life in the sea.<br />

One set of grandparents from Port Ludlow had this to say<br />

about the experience: “Not only did our granddaughter<br />

enjoy camp, but as grandparents, we did too! We camped<br />

out in our motor home right at Fort Worden and within<br />

easy walking distance to the Marine Science Center. One<br />

of the many highlights of our experience was on the first<br />

day of camp, we had a campfire cookout with four other<br />

August 11-15, fee $250. Explore the marine science of<br />

Port Townsend Bay under sail on this overnight adventure.<br />

Use hands-on science equipment aboard a 26-foot<br />

Thunderbird sailboat and investigate intertidal marine<br />

life ashore. Join the ranks of scientific explorers; navigate,<br />

sail, explore and experiment. Check out this fun and<br />

Jefferson Land Trust’s<br />

Natural History Course<br />

by Bev Rothenborg, A&E Editor<br />

Jefferson Land Trust (JLT) will repeat a 7-week Natural<br />

History Course completed by participants, including this<br />

writer, last year. Designed by naturalists for the residents<br />

of the area, the course allows participants to spend<br />

focused time learning about our non-human community<br />

by observing in the field and gaining awareness of place.<br />

The course structure and content provide a comprehensive<br />

overview of the natural history of the area.<br />

The Orientation Session is on Saturday, April 27, 9:00<br />

a.m. until noon, at the Cotton Building, Port Townsend.<br />

Orientation is an opportunity to review the course outline,<br />

locations and logistics, and learn about the instructors and<br />

participants. Course journals will be issued and journaling<br />

assignments discussed.<br />

The field trips are on Saturdays beginning May 4,<br />

beginning at Port Townsend’s Marine Science Center<br />

with a lesson on plankton and food webs in the Salish<br />

Sea. Participants will board a comfortable boat to tour<br />

portions of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Salish Sea.<br />

The following Saturdays are spent exploring rain shadow<br />

forests and prairies, shorelines, temperate rainforests,<br />

aquatic and riparian environments and sub-alpine and<br />

alpine zones. For a course syllabus, contact Eric Kingfisher,<br />

JLT Stewardship Director at steward@saveland.org or<br />

379-9501. A sliding scale fee of $160-$250 is requested.<br />

JLT has protected and stewarded 10,919 acres of land,<br />

of which they own 179 acres, and protected 24 miles of<br />

creeks and rivers. JLT is located at 1033 Lawrence Street,<br />

Port Townsend.<br />

The group that completed the course last year encompassed<br />

a wide range of ages and abilities. Enthusiasm<br />

was so high after course completion that some graduates<br />

formed a JLT Natural History Society. From that<br />

has evolved an online newsletter, a book club, monthly<br />

walks, hikes and lectures. Several participants have<br />

become stewards of JLT nature preserves, and we all<br />

graduated with a new appreciation of our natural environment.<br />

JHC Offers Hospice<br />

Grief Support Groups<br />

Jefferson Healthcare (JHC) Hospice offers two different<br />

grief support groups this spring, open free of charge to<br />

anyone in East Jefferson County who has experienced the<br />

death of a loved one.<br />

“Facing Loss: A 6-Week Grief Support Group” begins on<br />

Monday, April 8 and runs for six consecutive Mondays<br />

through May 13. The facilitated group meets for two<br />

hours, 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and pre-registration is required.<br />

Each session of this workshop-type program builds on the<br />

one before, with a focus on grief education, coping skills,<br />

journaling, and group sharing. Together, participants<br />

consider ways of providing self-care, adjusting to life<br />

without the deceased person and deepening bonds of trust.<br />

Participants are asked to make a commitment to attend<br />

all six sessions. To pre-register, call Jefferson Hospice<br />

at 385-0610. The registration deadline for this group is<br />

April 2. Participation is limited to six people. A summer<br />

group will also be offered starting in late July.<br />

Also, a facilitated Drop-In Group meets the first and third<br />

Wednesdays of every month, from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m.<br />

(April 3 and 17, and May 1 and 15). Participants receive<br />

support and share feelings and experiences in a confidential<br />

peer-group setting. No registration is required.<br />

Both groups meet in the JHC Home Health and Hospice<br />

small conference room, 2500 W. Sims Way (off the<br />

roundabout) in Port Townsend. The groups are free of<br />

charge with support from the Hospice Foundation for<br />

JHC. For more information, contact Stephanie Tivona<br />

Reith, Bereavement Support Coordinator, 360-385-0610,<br />

ext 4684, or visit www.jeffersonhealthcare.org.

Quilcene Historical Museum<br />

The Quilcene Historical Museum was founded in 1991, and<br />

is located at the intersection of Columbia and Center Valley<br />

Road. Artifacts, documents and photographs are preserved,<br />

exhibited and available for research. The Museum will<br />

be open for the 2013 season beginning Saturday, April<br />

20, Fridays-Mondays, 1:00-5:00 p.m. until Saturday,<br />

September 21. The Museum will gladly open for special<br />

The Quilcene Historical Museum is in the final year of a 2<br />

year option to purchase the adjoining 14 room 1891 Victorian<br />

Worthington home and 10 acres with out-buildings, pond,<br />

660 feet of river front, orchard and timberland. Phase 2, 3,<br />

and 4 are to renovate/repair, preserve and furnish the home.<br />

The Museum is at 78 percent of its funding purchasing goal.<br />

One outdoor stage has been built on the property in order to<br />

hold fundraisers to help generate funds.<br />

Eilleen Worthington said: “In working with the Museum<br />

board to place the property in their care, I know this<br />

unique piece of history can be used as a learning environment;<br />

not only for our children, but for the community in<br />

general. It is my belief that the Museum will be a good<br />

steward of the land and use the facilities and grounds to<br />

enhance many new opportunities for our town.”<br />
