Port Ludlow Voice Page 45 Preservation Awards Nominations The Jefferson County Historical Society (JCHS) seeks nominations for the annual Historic Preservation Awards to be presented at the Founders’ Day celebration on Saturday, April 21. These awards honor the efforts of individuals and organizations to preserve and restore original structures and traditions that form the historic fabric of Jefferson County. The Mary P. Johnson Award is given to historic structure projects that meet the Secretary of Interior’s high standards for restoration. Certificates of Appreciation are given for a variety of preservation and restoration projects and are not limited to physical structures. Any project may be worthy of an award and anyone may nominate a project for consideration. The JCHS Historic Preservation Awards Committee will review all nominations. In the past, awards have gone to such major projects as restoring Port Townsend’s City Hall and the Jefferson County Courthouse clock tower. However, restoration of more-modest buildings is considered to be equally important. Non-structure awards have been presented to authors of historic cookbooks and local histories, museum exhibits, oral history projects and individuals who have contributed to the preservation of Jefferson County history. Nomination forms can be found online at JCHSMuseum. org or may be picked up at the JCHS headquarters in Port Townsend’s historic City Hall at 540 Water Street. Deadline for submissions is Friday, March 16. Solarize to Economize A Port Townsend solar installation company, Power Trip Energy Corp., has announced a solar photovoltaic (PV) group-purchasing program for residents of Port Townsend and east Jefferson County. Called Solarize Port Townsend, it will include a $700 per kW cash rebate for participants who sign up before Monday, April 30. Grid-tied PV systems generate electricity from sunlight. The homeowner uses electricity on-site with the excess electricity fed back to the utility resulting in lower monthly power bills. All systems qualify for a 30 percent Federal income tax credit; system owners also receive annual cash production incentive payments from Puget Sound Energy (PSE). A free workshop to explain the benefits of the system will be offered on Saturday, March 10, 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. at the Chimacum Grange, Highway 19 and West Valley Road. “The Solarize programs allow us to install more solar modules at a lower cost for our customers,” reported Jeff Randall of Power Trip Energy. “This year our goal is to equip at least 30 homes with solar PV systems.” At the end of 2011, approximately 120 homes in Jefferson County were equipped with solar PV systems. Per capita, Jefferson County has more solar systems installed than any other location in the state of Washington. For more information, contact Jeff Randall at 301-9019 or go to www.solarizept.com or e-mail jeffr@powertripenergy.com.
